How to conquer the villain boss

Spoiler: Dreams return to where the flowers fall

【This is the best moment in his long life. 】

The willows are green and the peach blossoms are red, which is another spring benefit.

The emperor is still the emperor, and the prince is still the prince.

The change of weather that everyone expected did not come. The previous squalls and rainstorms now seemed to be thunderous and rainy.Everyone was puzzled, what kind of kindness did King Qi have?But for the common people below, it has nothing to do with them, they are not the ones who control the emperor.Only a group of ministers went to court full of doubts.

Although King Qi paid a lot of money to seek famous doctors in the world, the disease of stupidity is not so easy to cure. In other words, it was originally a medicine for killing people, but it is a blessing in misfortune.But King Qi didn't believe in evil, and even personally visited those famous doctors in seclusion, he didn't dare to coerce, and begged respectfully.

Finally, he got a genius doctor who had been reclusive in the mountains for many years to see Gu Shaoyan.After taking the pulse, this somewhat mean genius doctor looked at Gu Yangqing with a sneer on his face, and said, "It's your own fault."

Gu Yangqing bowed her head and said nothing, but her lips were pursed white.

The reputation of a genius doctor is not in vain, Gu Shaoyan's originally muddled mind gradually became clear, and he finally recognized Gu Yangqing.When Gu Yangqing heard the other party call him Yunyue again, instead of those flower and tree dolls, tears flowed instantly.

For three years, he almost thought that his life would go on like this, and it turned out that he could wait until the other party woke up.

For the past three years, he has taken care of the other party's clothing, food, housing and transportation all by himself, he is a majestic king of Qi, he is condescending, and he doesn't feel bored or embarrassed.

The people under him couldn't stand it, and asked why they gave up this great opportunity, didn't take the opportunity to sit on the throne, and went to serve a fool.Regarding this, Gu Yangqing just looked at the inquirer coldly, until the other party was sweating on his forehead and dared not look directly at him, then slowly said: "Pass it on, if anyone dares to speak in the future, don't want that tongue. The world is Gu Shaoyan's, no one can steal it, not even me."

He once pursued the misty throne for love, and then cut off love for the throne, which is stupid and ridiculous.

He looked at Gu Shaoyan who was sleeping soundly with soft eyes.

——It turns out that I am not as good as you in the end.

During the past three years, he has received news intermittently.In fact, Gu Shaoyan already knew that he wanted to rebel, and everything was nothing more than hypocrisy, and he also knew that he and his subordinates secretly communicated with each other, but they turned a blind eye and forced a smile in front of him.And these things were just another stabbing in his heart, which was already riddled with holes.

He was glad that he didn't embarrass Gu Shaoyan's former woman and the people who were with him, otherwise even if the other party woke up, he wouldn't dare to see her again.

Gu Yangqing felt that Gu Shaoyan was really too stupid, so self-righteous, so cautious, and tried hard to maintain it even though he knew it was fake.If the other party can be as ruthless as himself, this will not be the case.

"Even if the flowers wither, the moon fades, and the dreams fade away, as long as there is a moment of prosperity, the purgatory for a hundred generations will be happy."

Now he can't think of the tone and demeanor of the other party's words, and even the past that can barely be called "sweet" is worn away in regret day after day.

But time does not turn back, and the past cannot be changed.

He can only treat Gu Shaoyan a little better, just like the other party used to be gentle and meticulous to him.

Maybe he deliberately forgot those good old days, because it was too good, and he didn't deserve it.He is atoning now, for the mistakes he made.And a sinner like him should not get those good things, what he got should be pain and suffering.

……

One day, when the spring was fine, swallows built their nests in the eaves, and the peach blossoms in the courtyard were in full bloom.

The fire is booming, and the faint fragrance of medicine permeates the air.

Gu Yangqing clung to Gu Shaoyan's hand, watching him slowly wake up from his nap, his eyes turned from confusion to sobriety, and then bent into a crescent moon, softly said: "Yunyue."

Gu Yangqing's whole body was tense, trembling slightly, showing an expression of disbelief.

Gu Shaoyan continued: "I seem to have had a dream, a long, long dream."

Gu Yangqing tried hard to keep her voice from trembling, and said, "...What did you dream about?"

Gu Shaoyan frowned, feeling a little distressed, and said, "Actually, I can't remember clearly, it's chaotic and dark, full of depression."

Gu Yangqing's face was paper-colored, speechless.

But Gu Shaoyan held his hand and said, "But, when I wake up and see you, I feel that no matter how terrible the dream is, it doesn't matter."

The clouds are light, the flowers are light, the smoke is picturesque, and the sky is clear and windy.

This is the best moment of his long life.

The green leaves are whirling and the sun is slightly drunk.

Gu Shaoyan sat on the soft couch with his little boy in his arms, read a comic book and ate cakes, full of interest, both the father and son ate the cake crumbs.

Strange to say, although the original owner had many beauties in the romantic harem, he only had one child, and it was a result of a one-night stand with an ordinary court lady.Gu Shaoyan originally needed an heir, and the little boy had a good relationship with him, so he doted on him a lot, eating, drinking and having fun with him every day.

When the father and son were indulging in the story, they suddenly heard the eunuch shouting outside: "King Qi is here——"

The two of them shook, Gu Shaoyan quickly put down the boy, straightened his sleeves, and looked out of the hall solemnly.

As soon as Gu Yangqing entered the door, he saw a father and son, one big and one young, staring at him with piercing eyes, like a big dog with a puppy.

The little boy even called out sweetly: "Second Uncle."

Gu Shaoyan secretly gestured to the boy to show that he did a good job.

I don't know how much sugar-coated cannonballs like Gu Yangqing have eaten, let alone... When he is blind, can't he see the crumbs at the corners of the mouths of these two? !

He held back the corners of his mouth from twitching, looked at Gu Shaoyan, and said calmly, "Why didn't you go to Xia Guo's visit today?"

Gu Shaoyan blinked his eyes, looking very innocent, and said, "Forgot."

Forget about it, you are simply too lazy to go!

Gu Yangqing, who had unknowingly activated the Tucao skill, slandered inwardly.

Before he could say anything, another wave of attacks from Gu Shaoyan arrived.

"Yunyue~" The voice was lingering and sweet, and with a pair of clear eyes, it was extremely lethal.It's also thanks to Gu Shaoyan that he didn't feel disobedient when he made it with such a big body.

Gu Yangqing was expressionless.Did Gu Shaoyan think that he would still be defeated by the same tactic?

half an hour.

Gu Yangqing closed his eyes and turned his head. He was defeated by the same trick again, which was a shame.On the other side that he didn't pay attention to, the father and son looked at each other with a very treacherous smile.

……

Gu Yangqing sighed and said: "You are the king of a country, no matter what you should attend."

"Xia Guo is my defeated general. If I don't go, how dare he fight over?" Gu Shaoyan curled his lips and didn't care, his arrogance reached the extreme.

"..." Even though he said it so domineeringly, the main reason was that he was too lazy to go.

Gu Yangqing rubbed her forehead, and said helplessly: "Also, how long has it been since you went to court?!"

Gu Shaoyan's originally domineering expression froze, and immediately changed his expression, weak and pitiful like a small white flower swaying in the wind, "I have a headache~"

He is tall and what the hell is this tone of voice!

Gu Yangqing was about to vomit blood, but there was nothing he could do.

Speaking of which, this person said at the beginning that he had a headache and Gu Yangqing was still nervous. He was afraid that it was the aftereffect of the previous medicine. While he was going to ask for a genius doctor, he brought over the political affairs to let Gu Shaoyan take a good rest.Later, the genius doctor said there was no problem at all, but Gu Shaoyan complained of a headache again and again, and Gu Yangqing slowly came to terms with it.This person is worried that he has been paying attention to the mistakes he made in the past, and in this way, he will slowly look down on himself.

Gu Yangqing used to think that he was smart and pretentious, but now he understands Gu Shaoyan's wisdom, which is not derived from extensive reading, but from his own deep feelings.Be careful, be considerate because you care.

...but then it was all because of laziness! !

Gu Yangqing looked at the giggling Gu Shaoyan, but his eyes were complicated.Many times he wanted to ask why he still trusted him so much, but he didn't dare to bring up those past events again.It was an ugly scar, and bringing up this topic would undoubtedly tear his scabbed wound open, so in the end, he often kept his mouth shut.This seems to have become a tacit understanding between them, but no matter how harmonious they usually get along, there is always that rift between them.

Gu Yangqing often lamented her good luck.After all, not every mistake can be undone.But he was also afraid, afraid that when the bad blood between them would break out.But at least, he will never take the initiative to plunder again.

If it was in the past, he would never have imagined that he would be so worried about gains and losses, cowardly and timid as he is now.Perhaps this is the reason why he subconsciously let himself act first, to cut off these weaknesses of his own.But in the end he was still reluctant, and he was glad that he was reluctant.After he understood his feelings, he didn't know what he would do and what he would become if Gu Shaoyan left him.

Fortunately.

Faced with Gu Shaoyan's poor acting skills, Gu Yangqing couldn't even pretend to scold him, and could only say: "You must go to the dinner party." and left in a hurry.

If he stayed longer, he believed that he would never be able to stand his ground, and would let this person skip the banquet.

Gu Shaoyan could only look sadly at the disappearing figure of Gu Yangqing.Glancing at the little boy who was biting his finger, he howled: "Imperial Son~Father is so miserable~" Then he rushed over and hugged his little boy without any image.After confirming that the debris at the corners of the mouth was wiped clean, he ended the hug in satisfaction.

The little boy looked at the dirty clothes silently, blinked his round eyes, and was about to cry when his mouth shrank.

My father immediately slapped him on the forehead mercilessly, saying: "It's useless to me." He was completely ruthless.

The little boy immediately put away his tears and said, "Oh." Then he continued to eat pastries as if nothing had happened.

If Gu Shaoyan's colleagues read it, they would probably shake their heads and sigh again. Another future flower of the motherland was ruthlessly killed by Gu Shaoyan.

******

The red gauze flutters, the palace lanterns are hung high, the strings and bamboos are messy, and the cups and cups are intertwined.

Twelve large lacquered gold pillars stand on both sides, painted with auspicious beasts and colorful clouds, which are exquisite, gorgeous and elegant.There are fine wines and delicacies at the banquet, and court ladies of various styles are waiting on the sidelines.In the middle is a square platform with a height of one person, on which singers and dancers perform.

And on the throne on the high platform, Gu Shaoyan was dressed in gorgeous clothes, unparalleled in luxury, but his expression was out of place.

The visiting envoy this time is Xia Guo's most favored Seventh Prince.The Seventh Prince has always been good at guessing people's hearts. Seeing Gu Shaoyan's behavior like this, he secretly thought in his heart that it is fortunate that he was prepared.Gu Shaoyan's reputation as a romantic is known all over the world, even though he has been sent to the harem, he still has no connection with the powerful King Qi.But the Seventh Prince didn't believe those rumors, how could a cat be so stealthy, even if Gu Shaoyan really had something to do with that King Qi, it was just a taste for fun.After all, a tough man is no match for a soft woman.

The seventh prince who thinks he knows Gu Shaoyan very well, but put a lot of effort into this visit.He said a few words to the subordinate at the side, and saw that subordinate nodded and retreated.Not long after that, the people on the stage stepped off the stage and walked up to a group of graceful and beautiful girls.The long skirt in the middle is ethereal, with a pink gauze covering her face.As the saying goes, still holding the pipa and half covering the face (note*), this kind of dress is more mysterious and arouses people's curiosity.Coupled with those sparkling and moist eyes, it is not difficult to guess that this woman has a stunning appearance, which is definitely the most beautiful among this group of girls.

The master of ceremonies at the side said: "The dancer of Xia Guo dances - "Wu Shuang Dance"."

This is a novel name, at least those present have not heard of this dance.

Gu Shaoyan was startled by the shrill voice of the master of ceremonies, and when he raised his eyes, he saw the dancers on the stage start to dance.

The dancers are like butterflies wearing flowers, with light steps, sleeves raised, and gauze fluttering, like a fairyland girl.Everyone in the audience was intoxicated by this beautiful and soft dance.Gu Shaoyan had seen a lot of these things, so he didn't feel much, but he just woke up from wandering thoughts, his eyes were a little dull, and it seemed to others that he was indulging in this singing and dancing.

Gu Yangqing in the audience withdrew his gaze from Gu Shaoyan, with a calm expression, and took a sip of tea, looking calm and breezy.But if someone looked carefully, they would find that Gu Yangqing was clenching his fists tightly at this moment, his knuckles were white, and his nails were probably sunk in the flesh.

But even Gu Yangqing himself might not be able to describe his own mood.

Fear?Yes, he started to be afraid very early on, how could someone like Gu Shaoyan only focus on him alone, let alone he was still a man.

pain?Yes, he won't be fooling himself like he used to.He loves Gu Shaoyan, but love is often accompanied by pain.In the past, he couldn't tolerate the person he admired cast his eyes on others, so he snatched it.He was vicious and vicious by nature, and he never denied it.But if it was Gu Shaoyan, then he wouldn't dare.

He didn't dare to hurt this person anymore.As long as he imagines Gu Shaoyan looking sad and sad, he will feel uncomfortable and suffocated.

How could he, Gu Yangqing, be so proud of him, love him so humblely?But he was afraid, afraid that Gu Shaoyan would hate him and stay away from him.His arrogance in the past made him so cautious now.

At this time, the most eye-catching dancer walked off the stage while dancing. Looking at the direction of the dancer, everyone said "Oh" in their hearts, and there was nothing wrong with it, or it should be said that it was most natural. .

Gu Shaoyan didn't want to cause these troubles, he wanted to stop the dancer from coming forward, but he glanced at Gu Yangqing who looked down and couldn't see his expression clearly.As soon as he raised his eyebrows, he had some plans in his heart, and a frivolous smile appeared on his face.Everyone else had expressions of "as expected", and the dancer was overjoyed.Walking up to the high platform, his slender waist softened and he fell into Gu Shaoyan's arms. At this time, the veil "accidentally" fell off, revealing a beautiful face that I still feel pity for. How many.

Gu Shaoyan dealt with the shy dancer perfunctorily, but his attention was on Gu Yangqing who kept bowing his head.

Tsk, so the villain is troublesome, because he is outspoken and inconsistent.

Halfway through the banquet, Gu Yangqing left on the grounds that he was unwell.As soon as the other party left, Gu Shaoyan also found a reason to leave, ignoring the seventh prince's eager eyes and the dancer's resentful eyes.

With two young eunuchs, he abducted to Shanghua Palace without even thinking about it.Sure enough, there were Gu Yangqing's servants waiting outside the courtyard, Gu Shaoyan didn't let them make a sound, and signaled that the people behind him were also waiting outside, and then walked in alone.

The brilliance is light, and there are only a few broken stars.

It's not a beautiful night sky.In the solitary courtyard, the noisy voices of people in the distance can be faintly heard, and the dim lights can be seen. In comparison, this place is extremely lonely.

The cool night wind rolled up the fine sand, and the frail branches swayed gently.Gu Yangqing looked back as if feeling something, and saw Gu Shaoyan standing there, looking at him quietly, his eyes filled with the tenderness of moonlight.

Gu Yangqing was stunned suddenly, he was surprised in his heart, he thought that Gu Shaoyan would be with that dancing girl...

Gu Shaoyan smiled slightly and said, "Surprised?"

"……A little."

"You thought I'd be with that woman?"

It was embarrassing and uncomfortable to admit such words, Gu Yangqing simply chose to remain silent.

Gu Shaoyan seemed a little helpless.In the past, Gu Yangqing didn't pay much attention, but now he found that this arrogant person often showed a helpless expression when facing him, which was a kind of silent tenderness.

"You should tell me."

tell him?Gu Yangqing didn't know if he deserved it, or he didn't know if he was qualified, he didn't dare to put his position too high, for him now, as long as Gu Shaoyan was happy.

Gu Shaoyan came over, took his cold hand, and said: "I don't know what you think, if you don't know, tell me, I can't understand, and you also know that I am not a careful person."

He continued: "I know you still care about that."

Gu Yangqing trembled.

"In fact, I also care about it." Gu Yangqing's face turned pale, but Gu Shaoyan just continued: "It's not that I don't complain, and it's impossible for me not to complain." He stared at Gu Yangqing, "But I still accept you, Is it because I don’t feel hurt enough? Absolutely not. It’s because I believe in you.”

Gu Shaoyan stroked his cheek, "I'm glad to see you awake again."

Gu Yangqing looked at him, yes, this person actually knows everything, he just pampered him, and even pampered him with his life.

"I'm sorry..." Gu Yangqing finally muttered, following the words, tears flowed down his cheeks.A weak, repeated apology followed.

Gu Shaoyan was still smiling, he didn't show panic or pity because of the other party's crying, but a calm and gentle smile.

He said softly, "You know that's not what I want to hear."

After a long time, he heard Gu Yangqing say: "I love you, Chenggui." Gu Yangqing was still standing, but his head was lowered, unable to see his expression.Gu Shaoyan heard him say again: "I love you so much."

Gu Shaoyan lifted his chin, and saw Gu Yangqing's face was criss-crossed with tears, and his expression was fragile.He said softly, "Well, I heard it."

Then he said: "Can I trust you?" His expression was still gentle, without aggressive questioning or vigilance, just quietly waiting for him to say the answer.

Gu Yangqing's lips moved slightly, but he seemed to have exhausted all his strength, "Yes."

Xinghan is far away, and everything is silent.

From then on, life is long, and I am willing to join hands with you, and I will live in Chang'an forever.

The author has something to say:

Midnight Wen Jungui (BE version extra)

[All kinds of feelings here are gone. 】

The past cannot be traced.

When they have already happened, people are often powerless to change.

So even if Gu Yangqing's eyes were red and she knelt in front of Gu Shaoyan's bed, she couldn't stop the other party's life from passing by.Like running water, like air, like fine sand, it flows slowly away in his powerless hands, no matter how much he screams and begs, it is just in vain.

Gu Shaoyan's relapse was so sudden that no one expected it.

The time he stole from Lord Yan seems to be finally time to return it.This is the medicine to kill people, how can anyone be so lucky to escape?

But it's just a self-deception.

It was a drowsy afternoon, the sun was neither strong nor weak, it was as gentle as a layer of tulle.

The strong smell of medicine filled the entire room, and fine dust floated in the light.

The eyeballs under Gu Shaoyan's eyelids moved slightly, his slender eyelashes trembled, and he slowly opened his eyes.Shen Jing's eyes were a little loose and dim, and his gaze wandered for a long time before stopping on the tired man beside the bed.

His face was pale, weak and tired, and the faint blue under the eyelids showed that the master had not had a good rest for a long time.His clothes are disheveled, and it seems that he hasn't had a good rest for a long time.

Gu Shaoyan stared at him like he had done countless times in the past, but there was no tenderness in these eyes, only indifference.

After a while, he opened his mouth and said, "Come here..." His voice was hoarse.

Gu Yangqing, who was originally in a light sleep, was suddenly awakened. Looking at Gu Shaoyan, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and a sickly blush appeared on his pale face, and he said, "Chenggui, you finally woke up." on the arm.

Gu Shaoyan just glanced at him lightly, his gaze was contemptuous and indifferent, as if he was looking at an inconspicuous ant on the ground or the dirt and grass that can be seen everywhere.

Gu Yangqing was startled by this gaze, let go of his hand, and said loudly: "Come here! Your Majesty is awake!"

The servants rushed in, Gu Shaoyan slowly closed his eyes, and refused to give alms to Gu Yangqing even after staring at him for half a second.

Gu Yangqing's lips were so white that he could only stand aside awkwardly and stiffly. His heart seemed to have fallen from a high altitude, and it seemed to be tightly strangled by thousands of silk threads, making him breathless.

He had no choice but to comfort himself in his heart: Cheng Gui hated him is natural, as long as it takes a while...

But the truth slapped him hard.

The thin and thin man sat on a high throne, with a sickly but majestic face, peach blossom eyes, and a half-smile.

Gu Shaoyan looked at the dark guard kneeling in the main hall, sneered, and threw the paper in his hand towards the dark guard.The fluttering pieces of paper were like white snow, and the forehead of the kneeling person was covered with cold sweat.

Gu Shaoyan's tone was unpredictable, and he said lightly: "You mean that I gave up my beautiful family in the harem for a white-eyed wolf who I didn't know well, and gave up this great river and mountain, and I foolishly offered everything, but was ignored Did you fall to the ground with no regrets?"

The dark guard dared not speak.

Gu Shaoyan seemed to be extremely angry, and couldn't help coughing a few times, his face became paler.

He calmed down a bit, and then said leisurely: "No matter what you say, at least in my memory, there has never been Gu Yangqing."

There was a small sound in the corner, Gu Shaoyan's eyes drifted away, and then he looked back as if he hadn't noticed anything.

It wasn't until everyone dispersed that Gu Yangqing came out from the corner.His nails sank deep into the flesh, but he didn't realize it.He just felt cold, so cold that it hurt like a needle prick.The sun outside the Mingming Hall was bright, but it couldn't shine into his shadow.

Gu Shaoyan actually forgot about him.

How could he forget him.

Those sweet words of his were still whispering in his ears, how could he say he was forgotten, how could he...

Gu Yangqing woke up suddenly.

It turned out that Gu Yangqing really couldn't enter Gu Shaoyan's world anymore.

******

Although there was news from the palace, the officials were still surprised when they saw Gu Shaoyan sitting on the throne.They couldn't help but glanced at the place that was supposed to be Gu Yangqing, but it was empty.

Gu Shaoyan had an unconcealable sickness on his face, but his eyes were so piercing that no one dared to despise him.

He dealt with Gu Yangqing's faction quickly and simply, but surprisingly, no one complained of injustice or dissatisfaction.The eunuch's high-pitched voice wafted through the hall, otherwise there was a deathly silence.

After the arrangements were made, Gu Shaoyan raised his hand to signify his retreat.

Gu Shaoyan ignored the others who looked at each other in blank dismay, and slowly left with the help of the maid.

His actions were quick and merciless, as if he knew that he would not have a few days to live, and he was very impatient.But Gu Yangqing's faction just flinched blindly.

……

Gu Yangqing didn't go back to Qi Palace, but stayed in the deserted Shanghua Palace.Unlike in the past, there are not many people here anymore, and those who serve are all the people he brought.Occasionally, when walking in the palace, the servants' eyes would be unavoidable, but Gu Yangqing didn't seem to notice them at all.

He just wanted to be closer to Gu Shaoyan.

It's not that he didn't suspect that Gu Shaoyan pretended to have amnesia, but no matter how he behaved, the other party really forgot about him.

Suffering and pain may not be enough to express his mood.

It was a kind of coldness that had been burned to ashes.

The body is like floating clouds, the heart is like flying catkins, and the breath is like gossamer. (Note*)

All kinds of feelings here are gone.

……

Not long after, Gu Shaoyan summoned the First Prince.

The incense is strong, and it can't hide the herbal smell.The ignorant first prince approached this lonely and cold hall alone. The colorful gauze curtains overlapped one after another, as if deliberately exaggerating the atmosphere of peace and joy, but the cold air made everything obvious.

The eldest prince walked towards the dragon bed in the center of the hall, and Gu Shaoyan was lying on it.His face was paper-colored, his eyes were tightly closed, and he opened them slowly when he noticed the arrival of the eldest prince, his eyes were a little out of focus.

"Father." The voice was childish and cute.

Gu Shaoyan showed a faint smile, "Emperor." His voice was weak and dry.

"Father is about to die, and this country will be handed over to you. The Prime Minister and General Zhenyuan are trustworthy people. Although they are dissatisfied with Father now, as long as you ask sincerely, they will help you. "

The eldest prince was still young, but he could still feel that sadness, his big eyes were filled with tears.

Gu Shaoyan's gaze was very gentle, and he continued: "Father can give you only one sentence: Emperors are ruthless and loveless, never fall in love with anyone."

The eldest prince also heard some gossip in the palace, so he said cautiously: "Has the father forgotten King Qi?"

But Gu Shaoyan chuckled softly: "Have you forgotten? I don't know." His eyes were gentle and his tone was soft, "I only know that if it is love, I wish I never loved."

Not long after, the hoarse cries of children resounded through the hall, and the bell sounded from afar.

Gu Yangqing had no sadness or joy on his face, and silently took everything into his eyes.

He vaguely remembered that day in the Bihua Pond, when the sky was bright and the air was clear, and the green leaves were all over the sky, the man's eyes were bright and his smile was warm.

"Gu Shaoyan only has Gu Yangqing in his heart."

Probably all good things are just short-lived, and sincere promises will end hastily.

But who could he blame?He has only himself to blame.

I can't believe it, I can't pay.When he faces the world with a mask, what he gets can only be false.It's ridiculous that he can't see clearly, but he can understand it at this moment.

It's not that Gu Shaoyan forgot him, it's just that he doesn't want to remember him.

He knelt in front of Gu Shaoyan's coffin for three days.

When everyone thought that he would be the little emperor's formidable enemy, he handed over his letter of resignation, handed over all his power to the little emperor, and left cleanly alone.

No one knows where he went.

For Gu Yangqing, this bustling and beautiful capital city no longer has anyone or anything he misses.

On the bumpy carriage, Gu Shaoyan's voice seemed to ring in his ears.

"Don't seek fame and wealth, but be well-known to the princes, only green pines and white snow, winding water and quiet pools."

It's a pity that there is no one by his side.

……

A leaf light boat, the night wind blows slightly.

Gu Yangqing opened his eyes, Gu Shaoyan sat on the bow of the boat, smiled slightly, and said softly, "You're awake."

Gu Yangqing hummed and laughed, her beautiful eyes bent into crescents.

He sat beside Gu Shaoyan and held his hand.

"I miss you."

Gu Shaoyan smiled and said, "Me too."

Gu Yangqing looked at him quietly, and burst into tears.

"Why are you crying?"

Gu Yangqing leaned her head on his shoulder and said, "Because I'm so happy."

"Are you uncomfortable?" Gu Shaoyan seemed to ask without thinking.

"Uncomfortable." Gu Yangqing smiled, "It's too uncomfortable, the chest hurts badly."

"Is this going to continue?"

"Hmm..." Gu Yangqing looked up at him, tender and tender, like a thousand trees in full bloom, bright and shining. "Because that's the only way I can see you."

Gu Shaoyan stroked his face and said, "Is it okay to be fake?"

"It's ok."

Gu Yangqing knew that he was dreaming the moment he opened his eyes.

Because it was impossible for Gu Shaoyan to smile gently at him again.

He lost the soft-spoken Gu Shaoyan, and there was only one Gu Shaoyan who hated him deeply.

Even Gu Shaoyan, who hated him so much, couldn't hate him anymore.

The past has become empty, but also a dream. (Note**)

Gu Yangqing closed her eyes and smiled, but that was not joy, only endless sadness.

Just let this dream continue.

Even the smiling Gu Shaoyan made his heart hurt more than the hating Gu Shaoyan.

But at least, I have you in my dream.

Flowers fall, clouds disappear, people disperse when the moon is missing, and the lonely boat drifts away in the cold river.

In Gu Yangqing's life from now on, there will never be such a person again.
