When Lou Chen woke up, it was already the next morning.

The warm sunlight shines on Lou Chen's thin eyelids through the window lattice, crisp birdsong in his ears, and a faint fragrance in his nose. After blinking, Lou Chen wakes up from the haze after a long time, recalling what happened yesterday.

Quickly flipping open the quilt and seeing the neat clothes under the brocade cup, Lou Chen felt relieved.

Turning over and getting out of bed, Lou Chen realized that he was in the palace. He expected Gao Yu to send him back, but where is Gao Yu?

Previously, Gao Yu had only been in a coma for two days and stayed close to him, so he shouldn't have gone far this time, but Lou Chen circled around, but he didn't see anyone.

Seeing that Lou Chen was awake, the serving maid hurriedly delivered the prepared breakfast, which consisted of porridge and side dishes, light but delicate.Lou Chen originally planned to go directly to Gao Yu, but his body was very weak after the Gu poison broke out, so he forced himself to eat some even if he didn't have an appetite.

But after eating the rice porridge, Lou Chen realized that the taste was extremely familiar, and he became suspicious. Lou Chen immediately thought of the person who should be in the harem, did she know it too?

Before Lou Chen could ask a question, the maid serving at the side had already seen his question, and replied: "These rice porridge and side dishes were sent by the Empress Dowager, is it still the habit of Lord Lou to eat them?"

"En." Lou Chen nodded and asked, "What's your name, why haven't I seen you before?"

The palace maid slightly lowered her head: "This servant's name is Qinghe, and she just came here yesterday."

Lou Chen raised his eyebrows and asked, "Come to monitor me?"

After hearing this, Qing He quickly knelt down and explained: "Master Lou misunderstood, His Majesty just worried that the maids in the palace could not serve properly, so he sent slaves here... If the slaves did something wrong, please forgive me, but Your Majesty definitely has no intention of monitoring your lord."

"No..." Lou Chen felt that it was meaningless to embarrass a court lady, but it was just a messenger, and it was Gao Yu's idea, "Do you have any words to say, Your Majesty?"

Qing He shook his head and said softly: "Returning to the Lord, His Majesty did not leave a message, but only ordered the servants to take care of it carefully. If the Lord has any questions, you can directly ask His Majesty."

Gao Yu, what the hell is this?Do you want to indulge your passion?

Lou Chen sneered and asked, "Where is Your Majesty?"

"Your Majesty is currently in the Xuanzheng Palace. Many papers were not approved yesterday. Your Majesty went to the palace after the court today."

It seems really...

Lou Chen didn't follow Gao Yu's intentions this time, instead he left the palace after eating and went to the Zhennan military camp.

After staying in the capital for more than half a month, the soldiers had long since returned home. Lou Chen comforted him a bit, and wrote a letter to Lou Ye, explaining the situation in the capital before leaving.

It's just that this time he didn't go back to the palace, but to his own small house.

Compared with the high beds and soft pillows in the palace, the fine clothes and fine food, the other courtyard is a bit shabby, but living at home is more comfortable than the square inch of the palace.

It's just that Lou Chen didn't expect that this time Gao Yu was quite calm, and every day he only sent Qinghe to bring some food and greetings, but he never showed up.

A few days passed, even Gao Xian had to go back to Baying to go back to the northwest, but Gao Yu still seemed to be in hiding, seeing no one.

But it’s not all news, Qing He is a very competent messenger, but when Lou Chen asks Fan Fei, she knows everything, but when he asks Gao Yu himself, he always says "Master Lou has something to say." You might as well ask His Majesty directly."

Seeing that the time he agreed with Lou Ye to return to the southwest was getting closer, Lou Chen finally couldn't bear it and entered the palace with a token.

He wants to see what kind of tricks Gao Yu is playing.

Gao Yu had told him long ago that Lou Chen didn't need to communicate wherever he went, so he walked straight to the Xuanzheng Hall without anyone stopping him.

It was already time for dinner, but the Xuanzheng Hall was still brightly lit with candles.

When Lou Chen entered the door, he saw Gao Yu, who was wearing a black gold thread embroidered dragon gown, sitting on a high position in the hall, lost in thought.

Hearing the voice, he immediately raised his head, and when he saw Lou Chen, he said with joy, "Ah Chen, why are you here?"

There was a distance between the two, and under the yellowish candlelight, Gao Yu's face could not be seen clearly. Lou Chen looked coldly at the smiling Emperor, and said in a deep voice, "My minister has come to ask His Majesty for an imperial edict."

Gao Yu's smile froze at the corner of his mouth when he heard this: "What imperial decree does Ah Chen have to come in the middle of the night?"

"Your Majesty, why do you need to ask questions knowingly?" Lou Chen asked back, "Did Your Majesty forget what I said in the Golden Palace the day before yesterday?"

Gao Yu frowned into a straight line, and it took him a long time before he replied, "I dare not forget a single word that Ah Chen said, but I'm busy these days, so I really don't have time..."

"What about now?" The folds on the table surrounded him like they were blocking things in front of Gao Yu. Lou Chen raised his eyebrows and only vaguely saw a picture scroll in front of Gao Yu, "Since your majesty is empty, Appreciating the paintings, naturally there will be no shortage of time to draw up the imperial decree, right?"

As he spoke, he took a few steps forward and was about to walk to the table.

At this moment, Gao Yu suddenly came back to his senses, and stretched out his hand to block it, but it was too late.

"Don't look!"

When the voice fell, Lou Chen's gaze had already fallen on the painting, but the next moment he froze there directly, unable to move his feet any further.

The one on Gao Yu's desk is not a masterpiece by a famous artist, but a work that is not even mounted and bordered. It looks like the paper has been drawn for some time, the background color is yellow, and the border is curled up.

However, what surprised Lou Chen was not the fine brushwork of the painting, but the people on it.

The man was dressed in silver-winged soft armor, with clear eyebrows and a majestic appearance, just like a young general who is full of ambition.The only pity is that there is a red mark at the corner of the eye. Although it is harmless, it makes people feel pity.

Lou Chen only glanced at it, then forcibly looked away, and said with some embarrassment: "Your Majesty is really in a good mood. You are so busy and still have time to write poems and paint."

Gao Yu pretended not to hear the sarcasm in Lou Chen's words, and said coyly: "If you can't see the deity, you can't see things and think about others."

Lou Chen knew that he could not win Gao Yu in the verbal dispute, so he stopped entangled, and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, let's make an order. The three thousand soldiers of the Zhennan Army have been stranded in the capital for a long time, and it is time to go home."

Hearing this, Gao Yu's face turned miserable: "Achen, do you really have to go?"

Lou Chen turned his head, not looking at Gao Yu's pale face in an instant: "Since your majesty already knows the answer, why bother to ask more."

"Okay... this is all my own fault." Gao Yu smiled miserably, "But Achen, in this life, I have never done anything wrong to you, Achen, and at best I have concealed some things. This way you don’t distinguish between right and wrong, and you don’t even give me a chance to explain…”

When Lou Chen heard the words, he sneered as if he had heard a great joke: "Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with playing tricks and playing tricks on people's hearts for the emperor. You don't need to explain, let alone explain to humble ministers."

"But I want to say." Gao Yu stood up from the chair, and walked slowly in front of Lou Chen, with tears in Qiu Shui's eyes, "Ah Chen, even if you want to sentence me to be executed in autumn, you have to give me an excuse. Chance isn't it?"

Lou Chen knew that if he didn't listen to Gao Yu's words, he would never give up, so he turned his face away: "What exactly does Your Majesty want to say?"

"Achen." Seeing that Lou Chen was finally willing to listen to him, Gao Yu called softly, with a hint of joy in his words, "I'm reminded of what happened in my last life."

Lou Chen's face was calm: "This minister already knows."

Gao Yu paused: "I mean, I remembered everything in my last life, including those four years outside Gyeongju City..."

Lou Chen's frosty face was finally a little moved, no wonder Empress Dowager Shu would cook for him in person, no wonder Gao Yu didn't show up these few days.

"I remembered those trivial past events, and I also remembered our agreement." Gao Yu said, his voice trembling suddenly, "Ah Chen, I was wrong, it was wrong from the beginning."

"When we met again in the last life, I thought you were only thinking of using my status as the prince to revive the Lou family. I thought that you were with me only for power, so I kept looking at you coldly, and from time to time, I talked to Lin Shu. Daphne ran on you."

"I was wrong, I was self-righteous, I was narrow-minded... But Ah Chen, if I hadn't had that kind of start, if I had remembered the past earlier, we..."

"Your Majesty!" Lou Chen interrupted loudly. He also thought about what would happen if Gao Yu didn't lose his memory when they met again in the previous life?

It's a pity that there are no ifs, so he still chooses not to tell Gao Yu in this life, but he doesn't want to make fun of people. Things that he couldn't remember in the previous life, but in this life he remembered again.

It's just late, they are not a few years late, but a lifetime late.

Lou Chen looked at Gao Yu with an anxious face, and said in a deep voice: "It's all over, if Your Majesty really feels guilty, then he will grant the request of the humble minister and make an order."

"No, I won't make an order!" Gao Yu pursed his lips and said forcefully, "I admit that I deliberately hid the fact that you have recovered your memory, but it was just because I was afraid. I am afraid that if you find out that I have recovered The memory of the previous life will ignore me again, and will be as cold as ice."

"I was wrong in the last life. I realized it too late and woke up too late. But in this life, I have never done anything wrong to you. When I met Ah Chen and fell in love with Ah Chen, I followed my heart. More than half of it is deceitful."

He was also confused and panicked at the moment when the memory went back, but when he saw Lou Chen covered in blood, he was instantly sober.

Memories of the previous life are dispensable to him. No matter whether he has it or not, Lou Chen is the one he wants to protect in this life. The moment he threw his life at the tiger, the entanglement between the two of them in this life was already doomed.

"Achen, you can't do this. The mistakes of the previous life should not be borne by this life...Achen, I am sincere to you..."

Gao Yu's words were like a heavy hammer, every word fell on Lou Chen's heart.

He also wanted to separate Gao Yu from the two lifetimes, but he couldn't do it. Gao Yu always kept concealing and deceiving, maybe Gao Yu's own reasons, but he had had enough.

"Is there a difference?" Lou Chen made up his mind, lowered his eyes and said coldly: "Your Majesty, let's make an order."

"Achen..." Gao Yuxin seemed to be being filed back and forth with a sharp file, and the peach blossom eyes that were always in high spirits in the past were full of soreness and pain, "Achen, no matter the previous life, this life... just trust me once , trust me one last time, okay..."

"If you want to know about Guan Yu, I can tell you, but not now...you wait for me for a few more days, just a few days, and when I deal with those people, I will tell you all the truth!"

"Achen, trust me..."

"Is it because you knelt down and begged you that you would believe me and give me a chance... I really know I was wrong..."

As he said that, Gao Yu lifted up the hem of his long gown, touched his knees to the ground, and knelt down in Lou Chen's direction.

The heart sealed by the ice cracked at this moment, Lou Chen's superficial calm was finally torn, he pulled Gao Yu up angrily, and said bitterly: "Gao Yu, do you know what you are doing!? Do you still know that you are the emperor of Nanliang, and now you kneel down to save a man. What about your pride, your dignity, have you forgotten?"

"Can pride and dignity be exchanged for your trust?" Gao Yu faced Lou Chen's anger, "I've been on this throne for two lifetimes, and I've already gotten tired of it. If it wasn't for protecting you and the queen mother, I wouldn't set foot on this throne again." way."

"Do you think I like to live this kind of fearful life, do you think I would like to live in this world? If I could, I would have given up on it long ago and become a leisurely prince!"

"Achen, I am also a human being, I will get hurt, sad, heartbroken, and sometimes want to give up. Achen, you can't be so cruel to me..."

Pushing away Gao Yu's hand stopped in mid-air, Lou Chen stared at Gao Yu in a daze for a long time, and finally put down his hand slowly as if losing strength.

That's enough, let's leave it at that, he doesn't care about the past, and doesn't look forward to the future, entanglement is not as good as giving it a pleasure.

Take it as the last gamble!

Lou Chen closed his eyes and gritted his teeth: "Seven days, I can wait another seven days at most. After seven days, no matter what the result is, the Zhennan Army will leave the capital. Your Majesty, the words of the emperor are more than a thousand catties."

Hope was rekindled in Gao Yu's despair-like eyes, he threw himself into Lou Chen's arms, wept with joy: "Ah Chen, thank you, thank you for believing in me for the last time!"

"I don't believe in you, but in Xiaoyi."

He returned the last trace of trust to the child smiling at him standing in the sunshine of early spring, and made a big gamble, regardless of winning or losing.

The author has something to say: Thank you Sudella and Jiang Qimeizi for the mines, I forgot to add them now.

-------------------------------------------------- ------------

The last trace of trust, I hope Gao Yu will cherish it
