When returning to the General's Mansion in the afternoon, Gu Fang really took the wooden box away.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the house, he saw a handsome young man wandering back and forth at the gate of the General's Mansion with a small bag on his shoulders, as if he was waiting for someone.

Taking a closer look, it was Jiang Tong.

When Jiang Tong saw Gu Fang coming back, he somehow thought of the scene he saw that night, and suddenly looked at him with some embarrassment.

"Gu Shaoshi." Jiang Tong cupped his hands towards Gu Fang.

"I'm going home now, don't call me that, your name is Brother Jiang Ling, I'm the same age as him, if you want to call me Brother Gu." Gu Fang said and patted him on the shoulder.

He knew why Jiang Ling couldn't worry about Jiang Tong. He went to Feng County to directly turn against Captain Liu. He was afraid that Jiang Tong would be implicated and hurt by him.

"Brother Gu." Jiang Tong tried to shout.

"How long have you been here, why don't you go in?" Gu Fang said while leading people into the mansion.

"I think it's better to wait for you to come back and visit again." Jiang Tong said.

Jiang Tong, like Jiang Ling, is an orphan. He seems to see the shadow of Jiang Ling in Jiang Tong. He has a very sensitive personality but behaves very decently, the kind of decent that always restrains himself.

It seems that it is deliberately done to make the people around you comfortable.

"Take it as home when you get here. There are no rules in my house, and there are few servants." Gu Fang raised his hand and called Gu Jiu, "I'll find someone to take you to the guest room first, and I'll take you tonight." Go see my mother."

"Okay." Jiang Tong nodded, but he didn't intend to leave with Gu Jiu at all.

"Is there anything else?" Gu Fang asked him. When he saw that Jiang Tong always thought of him as Jiang Ling's boy, the guilt towards Jiang Ling was naturally transferred to Jiang Tong, and he was naturally more friendly to others.

"That..." The young man faltered for a long time without saying anything.

"It's okay, you don't have to be like this with me, your brother and I are... friends, you can talk straight if you have something to say." Although this "friend" was denied by Jiang Ling.

"Who is Jun Ruohan?" Jiang Tong was really straightforward, his brother only said that he couldn't mention this matter to others, but he didn't say that he couldn't mention it to the person involved.

As soon as these words came out, not to mention Gu Fang, even Gu Jiu who was next to him was shocked: "Bold, you dare to call the Holy One by his name directly. If someone hears it, you will be killed."

Gu Fang understood why Jiang Tong asked this question almost instantly, and immediately slapped Gu Jiu's arm: "It's just that you have a good mouth, I don't usually see how smart you are, just now So quick to react."

He knew that Jiang Tong must have seen that lantern.

Gu Jiu shut his mouth, and looked at his master a little aggrieved, what did he say wrong?

The young man on the side was stunned when Gu Jiu said the words "the name of the Holy One". The man who was sticky with Gu Shaoshi turned out to be the current Holy One, and for a moment he didn't know what expression to make. Come.

"I, I just asked casually, there is no other meaning." Jiang Tong felt that he probably knew something secret that he shouldn't know, so he followed Gu Jiu and left.

Gu Fang stood there for a long time, then suddenly cursed: "Damn, how does this Jiangling teach children..."

Weiyang Palace

Jun Ruohan suddenly remembered the Uncle Lu that Gu Fang was talking about after dealing with the political affairs, so he called in Eunuch Xi.

"The emperor said that the painter's surname was Lu?" Eunuch Xi drooped his cloudy eyes, as if trying to remember, but shook his head after a while, "I have no impression."

Jun Ruohan's sharp eyes sank: "Really?"

"The servant dare not lie to the emperor." Eunuch Xi knelt down on his knees in fright.

"Forget it, go down!" Jun Ruohan said after looking at him for a long time.

"Yes."

After Eunuch Xi left, Jun Ruohan recruited Lu Sheng to go to the Treasure Pavilion, but unfortunately found nothing, even in the palace paintings left many years ago, none of them were signed with the surname Lu.

After taking Jiang Tong to meet Mrs. Gu, Gu Fang thought about it and felt that it was still necessary to talk to Jiang Tong, at least let him know the seriousness of this matter.

"Knock knock!"

"Please come in." Jiang Tong was sitting at the table reading a book.

"Reading!" Gu Fang opened the door and walked in. Bai Yu lived in this room before. Hey, I miss his lovely son.

"En." After Jiang Tong responded, he thought about the question he asked at that time, and said with some embarrassment, "Brother Gu, I really didn't mean it."

"I know, just... I just came to chat with you, casually." Gu Fang himself was embarrassed.

"Do you want to talk to me about your affairs with the emperor?" Jiang Tong said.

Gu Fang choked: "Sometimes when you speak, you just need to understand it, and you don't have to speak so clearly."

Jiang Tong seemed to understand and nodded: "Oh, then... what do you want to talk about?"

"...How do you know, know that name?" Gu Fang asked, although he had already guessed it.

"The box you brought back today was taken away by my brother from home, and I picked up the contents from the east of Lanshui River." Jiang Tong said.

"You, who told you to fish?" Gu Fang asked.

"Brother." Jiang Tong said, "Actually, I saw you on the night of the lantern festival. You were guessing lantern riddles, and I also saw... I saw him hugging your waist."

Gu Fang got stuck in his throat, and didn't know what to do. At that time, he was only focused on listening to Jun Ruohan's guessing riddles, but he didn't notice that the guy was hugging him, but he didn't want to be seen by the kid.

"I told my brother, and my brother asked me to fish for the lights the next day before dawn." Jiang Tong talked about that day like offering a treasure.

"How did he know that we would go to put the lanterns?" Just seeing them guessing riddles and instructing people to fish for the lanterns?

"Brother said..." The young man gave Gu Fang a sly look, "He said that it is impossible not to go to someone like you who is so interesting to see."

Gu Fang pouted, it seemed that Jiang Ling knew him quite well.

"But don't worry, my brother told me not to tell this matter everywhere."

"Then we have made an agreement. If anyone else finds out, I will shave your head bald." With Jiang Tong's assurance, Gu Fang is not going to stay any longer. Tong Yan Wuji, who knows that this child is curious What kind of embarrassing questions will be asked when the heart is together.

"Brother Gu..."

As soon as Gu Fang lifted his butt, Jiang Tong called out, and he turned his head to wait for his follow-up.

"Do you like him? I mean... Your Majesty."

See, children are devils.

"Otherwise?" Gu Fang didn't answer directly, but gave a more affirmative answer.

"Then does he like you?" Jiang Tong sat up straight, as if Gu Fang's answer just now gave him the courage to ask further, and he seemed very interested in this topic.

"Of course." Gu Fang's answer this time was full of confidence without hesitation, and he even straightened his back without being reserved at all.

Can an outstanding young man like him not attract people's attention?

"Then... will you be together forever?" Jiang Tong asked again, for some reason, there was still a little hope in his eyes, like an old mother who worried about his life-long affairs.

Gu Fang paused, not knowing how to answer.

Will they be together forever?

he does not know.

"Since you like each other, why do you hesitate?" Jiang Tong asked.

"...Well, you don't understand, we are all men, have you ever seen a man marry a man?" Gu Fang said.

Jiang Tong shook his head, and said again: "But you said you two are in love with each other."

"But a man can't marry a man."

"You mean that you don't have to be together if you are in love, right?" The boy's black and white eyes were tinged with doubt.

Gu Fang stopped talking, why are they not together because they are so happy?

Yeah, why not?

Because they are all men.

"Will you each get married in the future?" Jiang Tong seemed to be endlessly curious about them.

But these questions were like a thunderbolt, waking him up.

Ever since the two communicated with each other, Gu Fang felt that he had been living in a dream, surrounded by smoke, he couldn't see the surroundings, he couldn't even see himself clearly, he just wanted to enjoy the rare time between the two of them, Even bickering with each other is a pleasure.

But now, that layer of fog was torn apart by Jiang Tong. He saw his parents, the queen mother, Song Guogong, Miss Shen, and even Da Yue, but he couldn't see their future...

"Will it?" Seeing that he seemed to be wandering, Jiang Tong asked again, and he was a little anxious, as if this answer was very important to him.

Gu Fang raised his eyes to meet him, and hooked the corners of his mouth: "I will answer this question after I ask him."

"Ah?" Jiang Tong was full of doubts, "You want to ask... Where are you going, Brother Gu?"

Before he finished speaking, Gu Fang had already opened the door and left.

At night, it began to rain lightly.

The rain that is about to fall into autumn is different from that in midsummer. It plops and smashes, and then it ends quickly. Instead, it seems like it wants to knock into people's hearts.

"Your Majesty, Young Envoy Gu is begging to see you." Lu Sheng actually hesitated before submitting the report. It was so late, and the Emperor had to go to court tomorrow morning.

But who came here? It's Gu Shaoshi!Gu Shaoshi has always been treated unusually by his master.

So he went into the palace despite the risk of being scolded.

Jun Ruohan was already lying on the bed and fell into a light sleep state. It was always difficult for him to fall asleep. Now that he was woken up, he felt a wave of evil fire rushing to the top of his head.

"Who?" The man sat up from the bed with a good face.

"Young Envoy Gu." Lu Sheng glanced at his master cautiously, and immediately lowered his head again.

"Gu Fang?" Jun Ruohan pinched the center of his brows, fearing that he had heard it wrong.

"Yes." Lu Sheng said, "If the emperor doesn't want to see you, this servant will send him away."

"Let him in." As Jun Ruohan said, he had already thrown off the quilt and got out of bed, picked up his coat and draped it lazily on his body.

When Gu Fang came in, Jun Ruohan was startled.

Drenched all over, he stood in front of him without saying a word and stared at him, yes, just stared, and exuded an unusual cold and stern aura all over his body.

"I have something to ask you."

The two looked at each other for a while, and the man finally opened his lips.
