ecstasy

Tingshu and Ning Shiting got angry.

Someone in the mansion found out about this, and after a little inquiring, they found out that it was Ning Shiting who was going to send the listening books back to his family.

Tingshu and Ning Shiting were stubborn and unwilling, so they hid and cried for a while, and even got angry with Ning Shiting, shut the door, and ignored the affairs of the mansion.

Hulu and Lingjiao laughed when they talked about this matter. Although Tingshu has outstanding skills, he is usually cold and good at handling people, but he is still a child after all.

Hulu sighed and said: "After all, the young master treats him like a young master and spoils him. If he changed to someone else's house, let alone a servant who is angry with the master, if he says a wrong sentence, his life will be very sad."

Lingjiao sighed and said: "That's really good for him, the young master is still trying to coax him. But looking at it, do you think the young master is better for listening to books, or for the prince?"

"What are you talking about?"

A boy's voice came from behind.Although it is far away, it is cold and can scare people to death.

Hulu and Lingjiao hurriedly turned their heads to say hello: "Your Highness, you have come out."

Gu Tingshuang ate breakfast for more than two hours without doing anything else, so she ate slowly with the ice-skinned snowflake pastry she had exchanged for, and held the fragment of "Nine Layers of Spiritual Jue" in the other hand, feeling extraordinarily comfortable .

The little wolf followed him halfway, squatting at his feet very attached.

Gu Tingshuang didn't come out of the room until mid-sun.

As soon as I turned the wheelchair out of the room, I heard the two brothers discussing gossip quietly.

Gu Tingshuang couldn't get used to Tingshu, a little kid who worked for tigers.When he was in the Immortal Mansion, he heard the conversation between the black-faced Rakshasa and Su Yue, and knew that the soldier leader who passed by Xizhou this time was Tingshu's long-lost brother. At this time, he wanted to send him back to his family. There is nothing wrong with it.

Gourd and water chestnut didn't dare to hide it from him, and told him this little gossip.

Lingjiao said: "Young master who listens to the book is crying so pitifully, but the young master is really ruthless. He is angry when he listens to the book in the morning, and the young master writes the deed and letter by noon. The young master who listens to the book is probably going to be angry." died."

"That's all?"

After Gu Tingshuang finished listening, he looked interested.

He didn't care.

A servant is nothing more than a servant.Coming and going has its own definite number, and it is really not worth mourning for such a thing.

"Go down, I'll take the little wolf out for a walk."

The little wolf was very interested, lying under his feet and twisting its buttocks, it was asking him if he wanted to use its body to go out for a run.

Gu Tingshuang shook his head, and pushed the wheelchair out of the hospital by himself.

The little wolf followed behind him step by step.

After leaving the Shizi Mansion, one person and one wolf still followed the original habit, first walked a long road from the lotus pond and pavilion outside the Shizi Mansion, and then turned into the Baicao Garden.

The little wolf ran happily, and Gu Tingshuang controlled a butterfly to follow it, playing and playing together.

The sun shines in the forest, brushing the shiny fur of the little wolf, and the butterflies fluttering lightly.Although it wasn't snowing today, it was still a bit cold. Xiaolang found the hot spring pool that Ning Shiting had visited last time, and jumped into it with a plop. Gu Tingshuang also stayed on the water surface, slowly circling with the billowing heat stop.

The water in the spring pool is flowing slowly, and the bottom of the water is gurgling.From Gu Tingshuang's current perspective, the ground and the sky stretched out in front of his eyes, and a small pool of water became an impassable deep sea, full of large and small whirlpools with medicinal fragrance.

Everything is amplified many times, including the sound.He heard the roar of the ocean, felt the vibration in the butterfly's body, and understood that there was a gust of wind blowing through the treetops.

Next came a slight earthquake.

After such a long distance, the little wolf suddenly raised his head, and Gu Tingshuang stopped at the tip of its ear, making it tremble.

"Listen to the book? Are you inside?"

It was Ning Shiting.

The shark appeared on the other side, looking in anxiously.Obviously heard the noise inside, thought it was some child who lost his temper.

But when Ning Shiting walked over, he found that the little wolf was swimming and playing here.

When the little wolf saw him coming, he also jumped out of the pool and ran wetly to find Ning Shiting.

When he arrived in front of Ning Shiting, he just remembered something, and shook his hair, shaking Ning Shiting's body with water.

Ning Shiting subconsciously dodged back, closed his eyes, and the little wolf felt very sorry and lightly pounced on his knees with his paws, and rubbed his wet head against him.

But Ning Shiting didn't blame it.

He knelt down and asked, "Xiaolang, have you seen Tingshu? It's the kid who brought you back today."

The little wolf shook his head honestly.

The ice mayfly is invisible, because it is naturally controllable and transparent, and does not belong to the category of immortality, so it will take a lot of effort to find someone.

Ning Shiting was a little disappointed: "I see..."

After he was silent for a while, he patted Little Wolf's head through his sleeve: "That's all right, you can go and play. Are you here today for a walk with His Royal Highness?"

Little Wolf turned his head to look at Gu Tingshuang, groaned, and nodded.

Ning Shiting also saw the butterflies flying around behind it.He knew that there were often butterflies coming over to keep warm by the hot spring pool at this time, so he didn't care, and just said softly, "It's fun, I'll go first."

The little wolf shook his tail, squatted down obediently in front of him, and watched him walk out of the herb garden.

It obviously wanted to go after Ning Shiting, but because Gu Tingshuang was here, it was waiting for his instructions.

Gu Tingshuang flew to the sky to have a look, and saw Ning Shiting's leaving back.

Still alone, without Tingshuang's company, just walking like this.He is a little thin, and because he always has a little sickness, he looks a little pitiful at this time.

The little wolf looked at the butterfly above his head, his pale eyes were full of confusion.

However, the next moment, something changed suddenly in the butterfly, and then fluttered away.

The little wolf seemed to realize something—his master was no longer on the butterfly, so he turned around and ran back to find Gu Tingshuang who was sitting in a wheelchair.

Running to the end of the entrance of Baicao Garden, Gu Tingshuang waved to it: "Go, I'll take you to find him."

The little wolf jumped into his arms happily.

He just saw that Ning Shiting was heading not to the academy where he lived, but to a side courtyard in the north, which was also the pharmacy and spice room of Prince Qing's mansion.

This place is a bit out of the way, and he and Xiaolang never go there, but Gu Tingshuang knows that this place is occasionally Ning Shiting's territory.When he mixed the fragrance, he would make the servants retreat and stay there for a day and a half.

He drove the wheelchair over, and the little wolf nestled in his arms, laying down on his stomach and licking his fingers continuously. After being opened with a light slap, he licked Gu Tingshuang's face instead.

He just remembered that today his clothes were sent by Ning Shiting.Before sending it to the Exposure Clothing Building, it was smoked for a few days. The incense was probably made by Ning Shiting, and it smelled the same as the one he often carried on his body.So the little wolf also likes it very much.

Gu Tingshuang was annoyed by the little wolf's licking, so he picked it up and threw it on the ground lightly: "Eat the little bastard."

The little wolf seemed to know that he was not really angry, so he jumped back very naughtily, but this time he obediently didn't lick him again.

As Gu Tingshuang expected, Ning Shiting went to the pharmacy.

The drug boy who cleaned the pharmacy all the year round and was in charge of tidying up apparently quit the courtyard under Ning Shiting's order, and just watched from a distance outside the courtyard gate.

Seeing Gu Tingshuang approaching, they were a little flustered—this place is remote, and Gu Tingshuang had never been here before.

Appearing suddenly, they didn't recognize it at first, but later they became nervous when they thought about who would be the person in the wheelchair with the silver wolf in the mansion.

The guard stretched out his hand to stop him, his tongue almost tied up: "Your Highness, Your Highness, the young master is inside, no one is allowed to enter..."

Gu Tingshuang glanced lightly, and the cold light in those eyes made them shut up.

"It's best for you to find out whether the surname in this mansion is Ning or Gu. It's not up to him, an outsider, to say for sure about matters in the palace."

Seeing his bad tone, the little wolf also let out a ferocious howl.

The two of them didn't dare to stop them anymore.

Gu Tingshuang pushed the wheelchair into the yard.

The ground in the medicine courtyard is very soft, unlike other places, there are no magnificent Xiushan jade steps, it is the most common Dongshan fairy soil.

However, all the sorted and refined medicine dregs will be poured into the soil and buried. Over time, the whole courtyard has cultivated a deep aura, and the moment one steps in, there is a strong medicinal fragrance.

Among the various aromas, there is also the scent that Gu Tingshuang smelled yesterday.

In the clear and penetrating fragrance of soul-returning, the vegetation, sand and stones all over the courtyard seemed to be inducted, and the vines swayed and grew rustlingly.

Ning Shiting was sitting on the porch, beside a towering apricot tree, the leaves cast golden shadows on his side.

Occasionally, a gust of wind would blow his silver-white and bluish hair, as well as the incense on his hands.

Ning Shiting looked ecstatic, resting his chin on one hand, quietly looking at the slowly burning fragrance in his hand.

The sun shone on his cheeks through the golden shattered shadows of ginkgo, giving the edges of his cheeks a shimmering, slightly transparent golden color, which looked warm and delicate, with a hint of loneliness that could not be noticed.

Gu Tingshuang suddenly remembered what he said yesterday when he lowered his head and told Tingshu about the legend of Huihunxiang.

——Returning to the Soul Incense, it is said that people in the underworld can be smelled and revived. The fragrance can be smelled for hundreds of miles, and the dead body is on the ground.

——This incense was originally a divine object, but for some reason, it also flowed into the mortal world and was used as a tribute to the emperor.There are also legends in the mortal world. After ten years of enthronement, an emperor misses his deceased concubine, lights the incense of returning soul, and sees the old man in the incense...

Gu Tingshuang pushed the wheelchair and walked across the soft and fragrant ground.

It wasn't until the warm sun shining on Ning Shiting's cheeks through the gaps in the ginkgo leaves also shone into his deep eyebrows and eyes that Ning Shiting suddenly realized that someone else had come into the yard.

The boy in the wheelchair looked at him and asked, "Who do you want to see? You don't really think this incense can life and death, do you?"

The little silver wolf ran happily into Ning Shiting's arms.

Ning Shiting was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and smiled.

"It's just a legend. I find it interesting, and I want to know if it's true. I used to... know a lot of good and kind people, but they all died."

"So you made the Sandalwood Shocking But Death Incense first, and then came to study the Soul Returning Incense?"

Gu Tingshuang asked.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Shiting raised his dark and blue eyes, which were bright and slightly surprised.

Gu Tingshuang: "...The little wolf told me everything about yesterday."

The little wolf howled in dissatisfaction, using it to protest his lying.This little beast is very clever, and I'm afraid that Ning Shiting will think it's a little wolf who tells a story because of Gu Tingshuang's words, and will ignore it later.

After Ning Shiting listened, the surprise in his eyes subsided.

He still smiled like that, but there was no usual smile in his eyes, and he was slightly disappointed: "Zhen Tan can renew a person's life after death, and the soul-returning incense can indeed revive a dead Tengbai. But I tried Try... the legend is just a legend, people who have been dead for many years cannot be brought back to their side, and there is no way to see their souls again. Originally, I thought... the soul-returning incense would be useful."

"You are not a mortal, so you naturally know where the soul of an immortal will go after death. After a good fortune, you will still be an immortal in your next life. If you are a little bit human, then you will be a spiritless animal." Gu Tingshuang sneered, "You are such an adult. Don't you even know this?"

This time Ning Shiting didn't speak anymore, he continued to look down at the burning incense in his hand, with a slightly sad and dazed expression on his face.

The usual calm and self-possessed look is gone, and it reminds me of the heartbeat and slightly trembling fingertips when I got close to it yesterday.

And that almost dreamlike whisper, saying that he wanted to.

Gu Tingshuang felt the nameless irritability in her chest becoming more and more obvious.

This kind of irritability started shortly after Ning Shiting entered the mansion, and he has been stuffy and did not break out. Now seeing Ning Shiting's soft and weak appearance, he feels like something is choking his throat.

He said: "The dead are dead, and the living will settle their families for them. My mother told me that everything should look forward and not look back. Instead of seeking the method of resurrecting the dead, it is better to accumulate merit and merit for them. Have a safe life."

Ning Shiting said softly, "Yes, I know."

The irritability in Gu Tingshuang's heart was even worse: "Then don't put on such a face for others to see!"

"Ah?" Ning Shiting was caught off guard by his fierceness, and didn't know what to say for a moment, but just looked at him blankly.

Gu Tingshuang held back, feeling a little regretful for a moment—his tone just now was indeed not very good.

He calmed down, and said in a cold voice: "You don't have to be disappointed. I practice spiritual consciousness, and the soul-returning incense can only rekindle the spiritual fire of the poor and weak, which is about to dissipate. For those who have been dead for many years, the spiritual fire completely dissipates." It doesn’t work if you go away. If you are so free, you can try it, the soul-returning incense is not complete. The spiritual consciousness of ordinary immortals cannot see the activities of the five elements and spiritual power in the body of things.”

It was probably the first time he heard this statement, Ning Shiting was a little surprised: "Is that so?"

Without waiting for him to answer, he murmured again: "So it's like this... no wonder."

The spoonful of soul-returning incense was slowly burned, Ning Shiting took out a fragrant cloth from the wooden box next to it and wiped it gently, and put away the remaining spices.

The green smoke drifted gently with the wind brought by his movements, and when it touched the clothes, it turned into water mist and penetrated into the clothes and texture, giving off a bone-piercing fragrance.

Gu Tingshuang looked at him for a while, and then asked: "Little wolf told me that I met you looking for someone in Baicao Garden. The servant said, you want to send that ice mayfly away?"

Ning Shiting said, "Yes."

"Then are you in a bad mood because of this incident, or because of the matter of Huihunxiang?"

Without thinking, this sentence blurted out.

Gu Tingshuang wanted to slap himself to death - when did he care so much about Ning Shiting's situation?

Ning Shiting smiled lightly: "Maybe there are all of them."

He put away the incense box, got up from the corridor, and looked at Gu Tingshuang.

Gu Tingshuang narrowed his eyes: "That's why I say you are a hypocrite, you are obviously reluctant to give it away, and you still want to send it away. You obviously married in for fame and fortune, but you want to appear high-spirited in front of others."

Ning Shiting was slightly taken aback.

There was a little smile in Gu Tingshuang's eyes: "Why don't we make a deal? You and I join forces to get rid of my father. I will give you the fame and fortune of Prince Qing's Mansion, and I will kill him."

"..."

Ning Shiting's eyes widened slightly.

Gu Tingshuang waited quietly for his answer.

He thought about Ning Shiting's phrase "want to kill King Qing" last night for a long time.In the end, all he could think of was that Ning Shiting didn't love his father.

Entering the mansion as a concubine, once Qing Wang dies, all he can get is fame and fortune. The title of "Prince Qing's Continued String" inherits the interests of the entire Prince Qing's mansion.Gu Feiyin has never liked her own son, this is known to the whole world, if he is going to die, Ning Shiting will only handle the affairs behind him.

Gu Tingshuang never dislikes people who love fame and wealth, fame and wealth are good things, and people who have these two characters in their hearts are often more effective in doing things.

What he hates are people who chase after fame and fortune but refuse to admit it, such as hypocritical people like Ning Shiting.

Now that he has seen through his thoughts, Gu Tingshuang thought, he might as well take a step back and cooperate with Ning Shiting.

At least their immediate goals are the same.

However, to his surprise, Ning Shiting laughed "puchi", his brows and eyes curved.

The haze and sadness that were still in his eyes just now were swept away, as if he heard something very happy, he smiled wantonly and heartily.

He didn't hold it like this, but instead revealed a kind of free and easy and charming heartiness, his eyes were shining with stars, and the ginkgo continued to cast golden shadows on his body.

Gu Tingshuang remained motionless, looking at him coldly: "What?"

Ning Shiting restrained his smile, looked at him tenderly, and shook his head: "I didn't mean that, Yinbing. That's not what I want."

"I heard you, yesterday you told me...you told Little Wolf that you were going to kill my father."

Gu Tingshuang asked, "Aren't you afraid that I'll poke it out?"

"My son won't." Ning Shiting said quietly, as if he was a little helpless, as if he didn't know how to explain it to him.

"What I want is not this...or more than this." Ning Shiting said softly, "Don't worry, I will stand by your side. Your Highness, you will understand later."

This year, Gu Tingshuang did not encounter major events in his life.

In fact, he didn't know him well. In his previous life, Gu Tingshuang raised troops to force the palace, led his officials to abolish the regent, and used the very serious title of "King Jing Nanqin, eradicate evil spirits".

Such slogans were chanted every year, but he actually didn't know what was the real motive for Gu Tingshuang to kill his father.

He knew that the child hated Gu Feiyin, and he also knew that he was violent and paranoid by nature.

But at the same time, he also knew that Gu Tingshuang didn't love power in the first place, and he was always more willing to be with the wolves and the bright moon than to sit firmly in the country.

Compromise with others, and weighing the power of all parties, these are things that Gu Tingshuang hates, because it reminds him of his father's slippery and treacherous.He will never wrong himself, and this road is doomed, and everything he passes is a long dormancy and long grievances.

He didn't know why he became like that in the end. In this life, he could only do his best to resolve a little bit of hostility and paranoia in him.

At least I don't have to walk the tragic and lonely road in my previous life again.

Ning Shiting leaned over to pick up the little wolf, touched it, then walked over and put it in Gu Tingshuang's arms.

"The son came here today, are you worried about me?"

He still had his eyes bent like that, with a very gentle smile.

Before Gu Tingshuang could say the word "roll", he felt the shark's hand lightly caressing the top of his hair.

"Thank you."

"Your Majesty looks very good today. The color of this dress is worthy of your demeanor. If a lone pine stands alone, it is like a jade mountain about to collapse. In the entire Western Continent, there will be no more handsome and handsome young man than Your Highness."

He noticed that he had changed his face and tidied up his whole body.

Let go of your fingertips and slide down from his hair.

Ning Shiting passed him by, but the moment the shark left with his back turned, Gu Tingshuang heard his own heartbeat.

one more time.

Plop plop.
