All his life

"I can't go back yet."

After covering the wound evenly and the scar was no longer visible, Duan Ce put away the Ningyu ointment, casually threw it on the table next to him, and then sat down next to Gu Jingyan.

"why?"

"Now it's approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the Chinese New Year will be coming soon, and the palace is also busy, so I don't have time to spare."

"In this case, then I can go back by myself, and I don't need to bother the prince."

"I haven't accompanied you back to the door either, I'll take this opportunity to go back with you."

"It's so troublesome, and there are still many things here that need the prince. I can go back by myself."

"Is it because you don't want to be with me so much because of something over there?"

Seeing that Gu Jingyan kept evading and refusing to go with him, Duan Ce put down the teacup in his hand.With a soft sound, the teacup knocked against the table, making a slight crashing sound.

"No. I'm just afraid that things here can't be separated from the prince."

Hearing this, Gu Jingyan squeezed his thumb and index finger together, with a very embarrassed expression on his face.

"Then it's settled. I've heard back from Guoshuo Palace. Let's leave after the new year!"

"Yes, my lord."

Faced with Duan Ce's firm tone, Gu Jingyan knew that Duan Ce was a must for this trip back, and he hoped nothing would happen on the way, so he could only droop his eyelids and move his lips.

"You are always so silent, are you thinking about some secret that you can't eat, or do you really don't like to speak out?"

Suddenly, Duan Ce leaned in front of Gu Jingyan, his face enlarged quite a bit in an instant, successfully startled Gu Jingyan, and stuttered a bit.

"No, no... I don't like talking all the time."

Gu Jingyan turned his eyes away and landed on the teacup that Duan Ce casually threw on the table, not daring to face Duan Ce's deep gaze.No matter that he had faced many people with different faces in the Guoshuo palace before, Gu Jingyan felt guilty when he met Duan Ce's eyes.

Gu Jingyan always has a feeling that Duan Ce has seen through himself early on, and knows everything he thinks.

"Hope it's true."

Duan Ce, who has always been aware of Gu Jingyan's reaction, has no fine lines. After leaving this inexplicable sentence, he got up and sat back in his seat.

The slender and beautiful fingers tapped and patted on the table indefinitely. Gradually, Gu Jingyan was able to find the melody from Duan Ce's slapping rhythm, a melody that he was familiar with but couldn't remember.

"I told you yesterday that I would take you out for a stroll, isn't it boring to stay in the mansion every day?"

"If the lord has something important to do, he should be busy. It doesn't matter if I leave the palace or not."

When it comes to leaving the mansion at the beginning, Gu Jingyan is very happy, because he has never stepped out of the mansion since he was a child, the Guoshuo Palace is like this, and the Ce Palace is also at this time.

The descriptions on the street were all learned from his mouth and books, so when Duan Ce said to take him out, Gu Jingyan was very moved.

But now, things on Concubine Li's side haven't improved yet, and she just learned that she and Duan Ce are going back to Shang Li Kingdom, so Gu Jingyan is no longer in that mood.Go out, maybe something bad will happen again.

"We'll go out after dinner. If you want to go anywhere, you can tell me, but you can only go to one place. The time is too short, and we can go again later."

"Concubine Li, is it alright?"

Regarding Duan Ce, who asked questions that were not answered, Gu Jingyan said that he is very tired now, and he hasn't had time to think about what to do next, and he has to go out with this master again.

"Her? There is an imperial physician here, so it doesn't matter."

As soon as Duan Ce heard Concubine Li's name, he remembered that Concubine Li had been involved in everything that happened in the past two days.

And the idiot next to him thought he didn't know what was going on with Concubine Li.

That's how the itinerary was finalized by Duan Ce, and then he stayed in the main courtyard to accompany Gu Jingyan.

Now, the study.

"What other books have you read?"

Duan Ce was sitting in front of the desk very unhappy at this moment, watching with great interest the thin figure shuttled back and forth among the bookshelves, as soon as he came to the study, Gu Jingyan started looking for books, it was not the same as before Sit and chat with yourself.

"It's all there, just a cursory look."

Gu Jingyan focused all his attention on finding the book, and it took a while to respond to Duan Ce's question, and then he answered while looking for the book, not even bothering to turn his head.

"Piano score? It's still Yuling Q&A!"

While searching, a yellowed and worn-out book caught Gu Jingyan's attention, and when he pulled it out, he found that it was a very old music score, and he couldn't help but cry out in surprise.

"what happened?"

Hearing Gu Jingyan's exclamation, Duan Ce couldn't sit still, got up and walked quickly to Gu Jingyan's side.Standing firmly behind Gu Jingyan, his tall body completely covered Gu Jingyan's thin body. Looking from behind, it looked like Duan Ce was holding Gu Jingyan in his arms.

"This piece of music has been passed down for a long time, but its score was put somewhere by the author. I didn't expect you to have it!"

Gu Jingyan's attention was all attracted by the music score, and he didn't even know that Duan Ce came behind him, and kept turning the pages of the book while whispering softly.

"I don't know which time I bought it back, do you like it?"

Duan Ce is not interested in the old music score that Gu Jingyan is holding in his hand, but is very interested in Gu Jingyan's white ear.His eyes fell on Gu Jingyan's sharp hand again, and he answered incompletely, but saw that Gu Jingyan translated it with great interest.
