III Jiangshan

It was almost noon when Gu Shuyan returned to the mansion.

He hurriedly changed his official uniform, not even bothering to wipe the hot face towel brought by the servant, and went straight to Gu Heng's boudoir in the back house without stopping.

"Are you girls awake?" He anxiously asked Gu Heng's maid.

The maid is very proper, she has a sense of proportion when advancing and retreating, she hurriedly saluted and replied: "Already got up, the girl is waiting for you in the flower hall."

Gu Shuyan then turned around and rushed to the flower hall.

Gu Heng was still wearing an ordinary home dress, sitting leisurely at the table with half a cup of tea in one hand and a book in the other.

What Gu Shuyan saw from a distance was such a silhouette.

Every time he saw Gu Heng who was alone, Gu Shuyan felt like a banished fairy with the breeze blowing on his face.He often thinks that such a person, anyone who sees her, will feel that she is like a faint, tranquil and far-reaching scenery, she is the Taoist scenery itself, and when one sees it, one can't help but yearn to leave the secular world behind.

However, who would have imagined that under such a soft and light surface, there is hidden a scheming enough to overturn the universe and change the fate of countless lives.

At some point, especially when dreaming back at midnight, Gu Shuyan would suddenly become afraid of Gu Heng.He will have an illusion. In that illusion, the elder sister is still living in the world well, married well, gave birth to a child, and everything in the Gu family is fine. Nothing that happened now has ever happened.

However, the fact is the fact, not the slightest change according to his desire.

Gu Heng had already seen him, so he put down the books and teacup, sat still on the chair, and only nodded to him sideways.

Gu Shuyan has long been used to Gu Heng being like this.On the way here, he had already pushed back the servants and maids. At this moment, there were only him and Gu Heng in the flower hall, and no one would be surprised by their strange way of getting along with their father and daughter.

Gu Shuyan sat on the chair opposite Gu Heng, and glanced at the half-open scroll on the table - "South China Classic".

Ah!It really is her true colors.

Gu Heng poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of him.

"Thank you!" Gu Shuyan didn't see him, he drank the warm tea soup with his neck up, and the hot feeling in his heart that radiated out of his body finally disappeared.

"Going home in such a hurry?" Gu Hengdan asked.

Since you are in a hurry to come back, there must be something urgent?

Gu Shuyan let out a sigh of relief, and said, "As expected, His Majesty has made a big move!"

So he told Gu Heng several unexpected decrees issued by Emperor Wei earlier this morning.

After hearing this, Gu Heng murmured, "He still has feelings for Yuan Er."

This him, of course, refers to Emperor Wei Yuanshen.

"After all, the prince has been the prince for more than [-] years, so it is not so easy to shake." Gu Shuyan said.

"It doesn't matter. I didn't intend to do it overnight. You are stubborn and suspicious. As long as you plant this seed, you can do everything in the future." Gu Heng said calmly.

After she finished speaking, she asked Gu Shuyan again: "How do all the court officials react?"

Gu Shuyan sneered and said, "How did they react? Naturally, they were very surprised! Especially Ding Xiang! This old fox's face is about to lose its grip."

"Is there no one out to refute the Hunjun's decree?" Gu Heng asked.

"Rebuttal? Ha! Don't you want to refute as a group of officials?" Gu Shuyan sneered, "Guess what Your Majesty said?"

"what?"

"'My will has been decided! Anyone who doesn't want to obey it, let's hang the seal and go home for the elderly!' These are the original words. The determination is even worse than when I decided to admit you into the palace that day. " Gu Shuyan said.

"It's really decisive!" Gu Heng sneered.

Gu Shuyan looked at her face carefully, it was still unhealthy white, but it was no longer as pale as last night, so he asked with concern: "How is your body?"

There is always a difference between men and women, he can only ask to this extent, and he can't ask in detail.

"No problem." Gu Heng answered briefly.

She never cared about her condition.

Gu Shuyan felt that sense of alienation, as if she didn't care about anything, as long as she could finally achieve the goal in her heart, she didn't care about enduring endless illnesses, even hacking into pieces, and dying without a place to bury her. .

Once aware of this, Gu Shuyan couldn't get rid of the suffocation for a long time.

"Your face is still not very pretty." He looked at Gu Heng worriedly.

Gu Heng glanced at him indifferently, and said: "I will make the facial fat that nourishes the skin, so I won't be so pale and ugly all the time."

Gu Shuyan froze.Isn't he referring to Gu Heng being ugly?He really cared about her body, from the bottom of his heart.

Gu Heng was always more sensible than him, and asked again: "When will Yuansi go to war?"

"It has been set to be five days later. Your Majesty means that it is urgent and can't wait." Gu Shuyan replied.

"Five days later..." Gu Heng said quietly, "Qi...Master Qi, did you also go out with the army at the same time?"

Gu Shuyan suddenly understood what she was referring to in this question, sighed silently, and said truthfully: "Exactly. It is also the custom for the military supervisor to go out with the commander."

"Yeah." Gu Heng was speechless for a long time.

Gu Shuyan thought about her mood, and probed: "Where is the Qi family, do you need me..."

"No need!" Gu Heng interrupted him resolutely, "There is no need to have any unnecessary interaction with the Qi family, let alone involve them!"

Gu Shuyan knew what she was thinking, so he dismissed the idea just now.

"With Yuan Qi's temperament and his friendship with King Wu, the Qi family will be fine." Gu Heng said this, as if he was talking to Gu Shuyan, or talking to himself.

King Wu...

Gu Shuyan smacked at the title.This is the one who was promoted just now, and the one who was calculated yesterday.

Besides the Qi family, shouldn't Gu Heng care more about this one?

"Wei Zhouyang is going back to Beijing soon." Gu Shuyan said.

"That's great," Gu Heng said, "The Qi family must not be alarmed, but the Wei family must be alarmed."

Looking into her deep eyes, Gu Shuyan knew what she was planning again.

"At this moment, that Empress Wei, I'm afraid she wants to take my life!" Gu Heng laughed at himself suddenly.

Gu Shuyan was born as a literati, and if it wasn't for the big change, he probably wouldn't have anything to do with murder in his life. When he heard Gu Heng leisurely talk about the possible murder he might face, he couldn't listen immediately. After going down, he said angrily: "You can still laugh! The Wei family is a family of generals, so it's easy to take your life?"

"No!" Gu Heng said firmly, "She will not take my life, no matter how much she hates me, she will not attack me. Not only will she not attack me, but she will also kill me when someone threatens my life." time, save me."

This "she" naturally refers to Concubine Wei Xian.

You also know!Gu Shuyan believed in her scheming, but was helpless in her scheming.

"She loves King Wu to the core. She treats King Wu as her own flesh and blood," Gu Heng said.

"So, I should be grateful to her!" She said again.

Gu Shuyan said in his heart, as you said, the person who should be most grateful to her is me.

"With Fan Lang's skillful hand, King Wu's body should be fine." Gu Heng deduced.

"Speaking of Fan Lang, I saw him after the court meeting today." Gu Shuyan said.

"When did the Supreme Hospital open next to Mingde Hall?" Gu Heng teased with great mood.

Gu Shuyan sneered, and said: "It's just a coincidence, Your Majesty left me a few more words, so he left late. When I left the Mingde Hall, I saw him slowly turning from the northeast direction from a distance. Direction, I think I went there quietly again..."

Gu Heng knew where "there" was, because her eyes immediately dimmed.

Gu Shuyan guessed what she was thinking, and sighed: "After so many years, even Fan Lang has married a wife, and his son is three years old..."

"Fan Lang is Fan Lang, and I am me." Gu Heng raised his jaw slightly and said stubbornly.

"Since we can be reborn as human beings, we should cherish this chance to live..." Gu Shuyan continued to fight.

Gu Heng's eyes turned cold, and the gaze he looked at him became even colder, "You know how long I have to live!"

She cut off Gu Shuyan mercilessly, "You have your reasons for this matter, and I have mine. So, you don't have to try to persuade me to turn back, and I can't turn back. You won't understand my persistence read."

Gu Shuyan's chest was throbbing, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

Gu Heng's past and present lives, she had already explained clearly to herself; what she wanted was also clearly explained to herself.However, it was precisely because he knew everything and the doomed ending was there that Gu Shuyan felt even more sad and depressed.

"I see." He finally said, returning to the calm and capable person he was when the imperial court responded that day.

"Today, His Majesty asked me to leave me, and it's about your entry into the palace." He said again.

"Well, it's time for Zhang Luo to get ready." Gu Heng also returned to his usual calm.

She looked at the silent Gu Shuyan, as if she saw another familiar figure through him, her heart was sore, she took a breath, suppressed the emotions that should not have appeared at this time, and said: "I remember, Yan Lai Palace once There are a few loyal old servants, I don’t know how they are now?”

Gu Shuyan thought for a while, and said: "This matter really needs to be investigated. But don't worry, when you enter the palace, I will choose a few reliable ones to follow you for your good life."

Gu Heng nodded, "It's not that I'm worried about it. It's just...Eighteen years ago, Yuan Er was ten years old, right?"

Gu Shuyan raised his eyebrows and said, "18 years ago, the crown prince just turned ten years old."

Gu Heng smiled coldly, "A ten-year-old child not only remembers things, but also understands many things, right?"

"You mean...to use this incident as a breakthrough to bring down the prince?"

Gu Heng's eyes were cold, "I don't believe it, there was no trace of that incident..."

Her pupils shrank slightly, and she said again: "Even if the faint king silences all the perpetrators, the ten-year-old prince, who has been in the palace for two years, will have no impression? Will there be no possibility of contact?"

When Gu Shuyan heard the word "she", a look of pain flashed across his face.Obviously, both of them knew who this "she" was, but neither of them had the courage to mention that name.

"I'll do it," he said.

"Okay." Gu Heng replied simply, and then stopped talking.

She deliberately avoided Yuan Youqi's name, and even tried to avoid anything related to Yuan Youqi, but she couldn't avoid the worry and distress in her heart.

She could hold on for an hour, fighting against the colic caused by the medicine, but she couldn't ignore even a little bit of pain Yuan Youqi experienced.

That child, will he come to her to question what happened that day?

Why doesn't she want to see her soon, and see if she has been tortured by herself to be thin and haggard?
