General's humble stand-in

Parting is the most painful lovesickness, and looking back seems like a thousand years.

Gu Yan just broke into Tao Zhuo's world again without any preparations, causing turmoil in the originally peaceful days.

It seemed that the strength that had been built up for a long time collapsed in an instant, Tao Zhuo clutched Yun Yi's clothes tightly without any hope, and didn't even notice that his fingers were sunk into the muscles of Yun Yi's waist.If it wasn't for Yun Yi supporting him, Tao Zhuo would definitely collapse on the ground.

Not daring to look over to Gu Yan, Tao Zhuo wanted to hide his fragility, but couldn't stop trembling against Yun Yi.

"It's fine." Yun Yi comforted Tao Zhuo softly, "Don't be nervous."

The warm breath brushed past the ear, and the soft voice seemed to be mixed with some kind of power, which gradually dispelled the uneasiness in Taozhuo's heart.

Lowering his head, he realized that he was ruthlessly pinching Yun Yi's waist, and Tao Zhuo hurriedly let go.Reluctantly, he gently rubbed the place where he had pinched.

Only then did Yun Yi turn his head and say to Gu Yan reassuringly, "You guys are quite courageous, you dared to enter the capital of Yu Kingdom."

Gu Yan didn't seem to hear it, her lowered eyes kept looking at the pair of white hands resting on Yun Yi's waist.It wasn't until those hands were tightly held by Yun Yi that Gu Yan came back to his senses and looked over Yun Yi and landed on the pale Tao Zhuo.

Inexplicably sad, as if the gadgets that belonged to him were suddenly snatched away.

It's just that Gu Yan's face has always been indifferent and indifferent, and nothing unusual can be seen.

Putting the Dragon Yin Sword by the table, Gu Yan sat down steadily, and turned the empty wine glass on the table casually, "General Yun was joking, the two countries have repaired the armistice, why don't I dare to come, maybe I can still be called Sneak attack?"

There was irony, but Yun Yi ignored it, just sat opposite Gu Yan holding Tao Zhuo's hand.

"Xiao Er." Yun Yi called, "Replace this table with new ones, and prepare a jug of good wine."

After finishing speaking, he said to Gu Yan, "It can be regarded as doing the landlord's favor to cleanse General Gu, you won't refuse?"

Gu Yan ignored him, and turned her head to signal Xu Tianlei who was on the side to sit down.

Tao Zhuo wanted to get up and leave several times, but it seemed to be suppressed by a pair of invisible big hands, which made it difficult for him to move, so he could only wring his fingers in suspense.

The four of them were so quiet that they couldn't even hear their breathing clearly. After a long silence, they suddenly heard Gu Yan say, "I've been looking for you."

The sound was not too loud, but Tao Zhuo could hear it clearly.As if poking a gland, the uncontrollable corners of his eyes became moist.

Gu Yan did not lie to him, since Tao Zhuo disappeared, Gu Yan never gave up searching.Gu Yan felt that he was guilty, because he had to find Tao Zhuo as compensation for the guilt.

The moment he saw Tao Zhuo, the joy gushing from the depths of his heart hit his whole body, but when he noticed that he and Yun Yi were hugging each other, the joy was covered in an instant, and covered with dense pain.

Gu Yan suddenly realized that she might not simply feel guilty towards Tao Zhuo.And this recognition made Gu Yan feel a deep sense of betrayal.

Gu Yan, who had always been calm and calm, fell into confusion at this moment.He wants to take Taozhuo back, but where is Zizhi?After all, it is difficult to have both.

Tao Zhuo bit his lips hard to suppress the crying, but the tears kept falling on his hands.Yun Yi at the side looked sideways at Tao Zhuo, his eyes were downcast with sadness that couldn't be concealed.

Putting his arms around Tao Zhuo's shoulders, Yun Yi forcefully hugged him into his arms.

At this moment, Tao Zhuo suddenly raised his head and kissed Yun Yi's lips.Tears permeated the corners of their mouths, with endless bitterness.

"Take me away." Tao Zhuo whimpered softly, "Please, take me away."

Without any hesitation, without even saying a word to Gu Yan, Yun Yi supported Tao Zhuo and took him away.

When they passed by, Gu Yan almost stood up to stop them, but in the end he just clenched his fists and let them leave.

The carriage bumped and drove across the street, Tao Zhuo looked up and leaned against the carriage, all her forbearance seemed to be stretched to the limit, and finally she couldn't help crying bitterly.It is grievance, it is resentment, it is miss.

He cried miserably, Yun Yi didn't know how to speak, he could only look at him quietly, waiting for him to vent all his pain.

It wasn't until the carriage entered Yunfu that Tao Zhuo's crying slowed down.There were only tear stains all over his face, lining those red and swollen eyes.

The two of them didn't get out of the car, they still sat motionless in the carriage.The coachman didn't dare to bother, tied the horse and left.

Everything is silent, as if there are only two of them in the world.

"Stupid, aren't you?" Yun Yi raised his fingers to wipe the tears on Tao Zhuo's face, "Push yourself into the abyss again, and you can't get out of it. Even if you want to anger him, you won't come here like this , This time it’s okay, it’s even more difficult to recover.”

Yun Yi's words hit Tao Zhuo's heart immediately, he cried all the way but didn't figure out why he kissed Yun Yi in front of Gu Yan.Maybe it was just out of anger, and wanted to prove to Gu Yan that he didn't have to.

"I'm sorry." Tao Zhuo felt a little guilty.

"Didn't it be agreed not to say I'm sorry." Yun Yi looked up at the roof of the carriage, and smiled helplessly, "There's nothing to be sorry about, I just - accidentally became the you you used to be."

Tao Zhuo was shocked all of a sudden.

No one knows better than Tao Zhuo the pain of not being able to love but still chasing desperately.

Wiping off the remaining tears on his face, Tao Zhuo leaned forward and hugged Yun Yi gently, "No, I won't let you fall into that kind of pain. Give me some time, and I will make a choice."

Yun Yi turned his head to look into Tao Zhuo's eyes with a somewhat erratic expression, and finally rested his forehead on Tao Zhuo's shoulder.He can't say anything, he can only wait, waiting for Taozhuo to stay or leave.

But waiting is always tormenting, and Yun Yi is terrified by that kind of excruciating feeling.

The next day, someone from the palace sent a message, saying that the Empress wanted Tao Zhuo to go to the palace to talk.

Tao Zhuo was quite strange, it was only three days, why did he suddenly want to see himself again.It just so happened that Yun Yi was going to court today, and Tao Zhuo had nothing to do, so he boarded the carriage that came to pick him up from the palace.

As soon as he stepped into the Jinglan Palace, the Empress Empress greeted her.Tao Zhuo was about to kneel down to salute, but was supported by an arm.

"No, no, no, you will be exempted from all etiquette when you come to my place in the future. Don't be cautious, be at ease."

The Empress is still amiable, but the more gentle she is, the more nervous Tao Zhuo is.Tao Zhuo couldn't understand why the queen who was the mother of the world was so kind to herself?

Today's empress dress is not as luxurious as that day, but simple and elegant, more approachable.Aunt Liu, who was standing beside the queen, stared at Tao Zhuo's face in disbelief.

The Empress is right, she is exactly the same as the dead Young Master Rong.

Holding Tao Zhuo's hand, she walked to the table carved with red sandalwood, and the empress pointed at the plates of exquisite pastries.

"I asked the Imperial Dining Room to make some snacks again. I saw that you liked it, so I made more this time."

Holding the apricot cake in his hand, Taozhuo timidly looked at the queen who had been watching him all the time, and asked cautiously, "Empress empress, are you going to compensate me for the prince? Actually, it's all right now, let's go You don't have to feel indebted."

When it came to debts, the empress almost couldn't hold back her tears.She hastily wiped the corners of her eyes while lowering her head to pour tea, then looked up again with a loving smile on her face.

"Don't worry too much, I just see that you like it, and I like it from the bottom of my heart."

"Yes." Aunt Liu on the side replied, "You look pitiful, not to mention my lady, the old servant will like it when he sees it."

It is rare to be treated so kindly by others, Taozhuo gradually became less restrained while eating and drinking, chatting with the empress.

I don't know how long it has passed, Tao Zhuo looked through the open window and saw that the sun was already hanging above his head.

"Your Majesty." Tao Zhuo wiped the corners of his mouth, "Is General Yun in court? I want to go back with him."

"Not yet." The queen was a little bit reluctant, "You sit down first, I'll ask someone to go and have a look, and if it's the next court, I'll let General Yun come over and wait for you."

After ordering the maids outside the hall, the Empress returned and sat beside Tao Zhuo.

Taking off the pointed armor, the empress peeled the grapes in the crystal plate one by one, and then put them in the white jade plate in front of Tao Zhuo.

"Why are you so close to the third young master of Yunfu? I heard that he has a cold temper and is not good at interacting with people."

Tao Zhuo nodded, with a little shyness, "He only treats me well."

The queen frowned, and couldn't help worrying, "Does he have any plans for you? He won't be like the prince..."

"No." Tao Zhuo hurriedly explained, "He will not be like the prince, he just likes me but never forces me."

"Like you?" Seemingly frightened, the empress stood up abruptly, "He is a man, how could he like you? Isn't this hurting you?"

Tao Zhuo was stunned.

Suddenly, he thought of Gu Yan's mother, who also couldn't accept that Gu Yan liked men.

But I have neither identity nor status, if I say harm, I have harmed Yun Yi.My heart suddenly twitched, as if being tightly strangled by something, did I really harm Yun Yi?

Coming out of the palace, Tao Zhuo felt bored in his heart, so he dragged Yun Yi back home on foot.

"What's wrong?" Yun Yi pinched Tao Zhuo's earlobe, "Did the Empress scold you? You're depressed."

Tao Zhuo lowered his head and kicked the pebbles on the side of the road, not knowing how to speak.

Yun Yi did not urge him, but walked slowly along the street with him.

"Yun Yi." Tao Zhuo suddenly stopped in his tracks, and asked in confusion, "Will I harm you?"

"Huh?" Yun Yi was confused when asked, "How do you want to harm me?"

She couldn't help teasing him again, "Rape first and then kill? Or kill first and then rape?"

"Oh." Tao Zhuo suppressed the smile on the corner of his mouth and bumped Yun Yi's shoulder, "I'm telling you the truth, don't interrupt."

"Okay, okay, you say."

"It's just..." Tao Zhuo lowered his head and kicked the stone again depressed, "If you're with me, you won't be able to marry a wife and have children normally."

Before he finished speaking, Yun Yi interrupted, "I don't want to marry a wife and have children, I just want the person I love to love me, and then live a life of peace and stability."

"But." The melancholy in Tao Zhuo's eyes grew stronger, and his voice lowered, "What if the person you love doesn't love you that much."

Yun Yi pursed his lips and looked at the two lingering butterflies flying in the distance, as if muttering to himself, "What can I do, just wait until he falls in love with me too."

The two of them didn't speak any more along the way, as if they were both weighed down by heavy worries.

When he was about to enter Yun Mansion, Tao Zhuo suddenly grabbed Yun Yi's cool fingers, "Give me some time, let me try to forget the past."

Yun Yi nodded vigorously.
