Fly the wrong branch and become a phoenix

Clouds and haze shrouded the sky, gloomy, and the wind was bitter. The branches were bent over by the thick white snow, swaying in the wind, and from time to time, clusters of white fell.

In front of the gate of the hall, a white figure stood facing the wind, and the white fur on the padded robe was deformed by the wind.Dark eyes, with a touch of melancholy, fair skin that can be broken by blows, and those thin lips are particularly eye-catching, extremely bright red, with hints of lavender inside, so flirtatious that people can forget Breathing, the beauty is soul-stirring.

Standing behind him was a court lady and a servant-eunuch. They were looking at each other at the moment, with worry and fear in their eyes, and the anxiety was not concealed.

The court lady Cui'e and the eunuch Dong Yu are sent by His Majesty to serve the distinguished guests. As His Majesty's many years of experience in serving the palace, they all know that this distinguished guest is unusual, and His Majesty never even calls himself "I" in front of him.

It is precisely because they are aware of this that they became anxious after persuading Wuwang, the noble guest is delicate and delicate, how can he withstand the cold wind, if there is something wrong, they are afraid that they will not be able to bear His Majesty's anger.

"Master, it's cold outside, let's add something to keep out the cold." De Yuan left and returned, holding a fluffy cloak in his hand.

Deyuan's voice interrupted Gu Mengyu's contemplation, he nodded noncommittally, and let Deyuan put it on for him.The white-haired cloak is elegant without any variegation, just like the purest snowflake in the world, rich and noble yet elegant.

Cui'e and Dong Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and gave Deyuan a grateful look. After all, they had only been serving for half a month, and they still didn't know the master's temperament, but they didn't have the guts to interrupt the guest's meditation. Capable and anxious.

"Deyuan, come with me." Gu Mengyu said softly, gathering the cloak with both hands to block the cold wind from the white hair.

"Yes." Deyuan glanced at the path that had been cleaned, bent down to take the clogs under the corridor, and waited for the master to put them on.Cui'e also quickly handed over an exquisite hand stove.

Naturally, the Wanwei Imperial Palace cannot escape the resplendent style. It has a strong northern atmosphere, tall and majestic, with a kind of roughness in its splendor. Compared with the exquisite and graceful palace of the Chu Ming Kingdom, the buildings here are more shocking.

"These days are tiring for you and me to suffer, and also for Minglu." The red and purple lips parted slightly, and the soft and shallow voice drifted away with the cold wind, as lonely as a sigh in the wind, "Minglu I'm afraid she's already in labor, and I don't know if someone will take care of her?"

"It's Deyuan's honor to follow the master again." Deyuan smiled slightly and said, "Minglu has a strong body, and the first child has never had any difficulties, let alone the second child. The people in the village are very enthusiastic, and they help , Minglu will definitely make the mother and child safe."

Speaking of this, Deyuan couldn't help showing a hint of longing: "I don't know if it's a man or a woman, but my subordinate wants a girl, ha ha..."

The corners of the lips are slightly hooked, and the moist color makes the lips more plump and attractive. Gu Mengyu said softly: "If it is a girl, it will definitely be as kind and beautiful as her mother."

A smile involuntarily spread across his face, and Deyuan's eyes were full of happiness. Although he knew that his wife would not go on the road until at least her confinement, she still felt like a cat's paw scratching in her heart, and she just wanted to see Niang San as soon as possible.

Perhaps it was after the early morning, and the cold wind was much less, but the temperature did not increase accordingly, and it was still bone-chillingly cold.The sky is still gloomy, like the bottom of a pot turned upside down, giving people a depressing feeling.

Pursing his lips and looking at the distant sky, Gu Mengyu's mood was as gloomy as the weather. There was no trace of the antidote, and death still hung over his head.Although Kong Lingqun is the king of a country, he is holding the position after all, and he is usually fine, but now he wants to raise troops, but he is opposed by the ministers.However, the ministers were justified, and he thought that he would make the people unrest if he insisted on going his own way.

"Hey……"

The clogs make a crisp sound on the stone road, blending with the sigh in the heart, making it more empty, elegant figure, lonely person, who can share the sadness with?

"Master, someone is here." Deyuan, who had been watching his surroundings closely, reported in a low voice.

After clearing up his somewhat confused mood, Gu Mengyu turned his head and looked over, only to see Kong Lingyun in court uniform striding towards him. Gu Mengyu stopped and waited for the prince who was obviously coming for him.

"Young Master Gu." Kong Lingyun smiled and arched his hands, "Although it has just entered winter, the temperature in the north is not as low as that in the south. You must pay attention to your health, Young Master Gu, otherwise the emperor's thunderous anger will fall on you." on those servants."

The black eyes fluctuated a few times, and Gu Mengyu said calmly: "Thank you for your concern, Meng Yu's body will naturally be cherished."

Ever since he came to the Wanwei Palace, Kong Lingyun always mentioned Kong Lingqun intentionally or unintentionally in front of him. Although he knew that this was Kong Lingyun's affection for his imperial brother, Gu Mengyu was not very comfortable.But the situation was pressing, and it was not easy for him to show it, he just pretended not to know.

Glancing at Gu Mengyu meaningfully, Kong Lingyun pointed to the front left, and said, "There is a wintersweet forest over there. Although it hasn't reached the flowering season yet, there are some flowering seasons that are ahead of schedule. Even if there are not many, it is still a sight. Gu Mengyu Young master, do you have the pleasure to go and have a look?"

"Staying in the house all day long, I'm so bored. Since there is something to see, I naturally have to go and see it." Seeing that Kong Lingyun seemed to have something to say, Gu Mengyu agreed casually.

Playing with the small hand stove in her hand, Gu Mengyu followed Kong Lingyun to the wintersweet forest, but she was guessing in her heart why Kong Lingyun came.

The wintersweet forest stretches as far as the eye can see, and it is very spectacular. There are bare tree branches in sight. Even though a small number of them bloom early, there are only a few small flower buds now.

Gu Mengyu stopped by the wintersweet forest, feeling fluctuated.At that time, it was in this sea of ​​wintersweet flowers that he was startled by Kong Lingyun's hidden love. From then on, he pretended to be stupid, he avoided, and even the letters were deliberately reduced, but he didn't want to destroy the relationship between the two. camaraderie.

Unexpectedly, God's will tricks people, and now the one who can take him in is this person who has been running away.

Sighing silently, the hands holding the stove unconsciously strained, Gu Mengyu only felt a little bored in his heart.

Today Kong Lingqun still treats him politely, kindly and kindly, but the love he tried to hide before inadvertently flashes in his eyes, which puts a lot of pressure on Gu Mengyu.

He can't ignore, can't be indifferent, after all, he needs others, depends on others, and is a good friend.But he couldn't accept it, couldn't accept it, and didn't have the energy to accept it.His heart has long been riddled with holes and dripping with blood, but now it is only supported by hatred. When the hatred disappears, he will go looking for his relatives, go to the poor and fall to hell!

"Oh, it's really spoiling the scenery, the flowers haven't bloomed yet." Kong Lingyun said regretfully.

"The flower buds have come out, and the flowers will not be far away." Gu Mengyu walked under a wintersweet tree, looked at the buds wrapped in buds, felt the vitality inside, but thought of her own tender buds. The same son, a ray of sadness flashed in his eyes, but it was also fleeting, and his face was calm as usual.

"Although the flower buds have come out, they seem to be thriving, but if there is a sudden storm, I'm afraid that the fate of the branches will fall to the soil." Kong Lingyun smiled lightly, and said meaningfully, "The first branches need to be cared for, otherwise How can you see the brocade-like sea of ​​flowers?"

Knowing that these words had profound meaning, but didn't know where they were referring to, Gu Mengyu couldn't speak rashly, and looked into the distance calmly.

"Wanyu is like a flower bud, it's the time of rebirth." Kong Lingyun's voice suddenly became low, revealing a little anger, "But there are some people who can't see this prosperity, and intend to turn the blooming flowers into broken branches and leaves. Mr. Gu, What do you think the king should do?"

Looking up, he happened to see the coldness in Kong Lingyun's eyes, Gu Mengyu's heart shrank, vigilance surfaced in his heart, and he said coldly: "Of course the prince will protect you."

"That's right!" Kong Lingyun looked sharply at the man in front of him who was too beautiful to be in the world, and said coldly, "The courtiers don't know, but Ling Yun knows that His Majesty wants to go south for the sake of Young Master Gu. Right?"

Before Gu Mengyu could answer, Kong Lingyun took a step forward, aggressively: "Wanyi has not been stable for a few years, how can it withstand the hardships of war? If you want revenge, what Lingyun sees is a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. Wanwei is in turmoil. The common people are living in dire straits. Mr. Gu, how can you bear it?"

The red and purple lips squirmed a few times, Gu Mengyu didn't say anything, the guilt in his heart became more and more intense, and he turned his head to look elsewhere.

The north wind blows through the branches, bringing a biting chill, making people cold from the inside out.

Gu Mengyu's stubbornness stimulated Kong Lingyun, and his anger was rising: "You are just taking advantage of the emperor's feelings for you, how can you be so cruel? War is not a child's play, and Wanxi's chance of winning is less than [-]%. The name of the faint king has been recorded in the annals of history, and he will be infamous through the ages!"

The blood on his face was gradually fading, Gu Mengyu remained motionless, letting the wind curl his black hair like a waterfall, full of desolation.

"You are Empress Chuming, not Empress Wanwei, why should our soldiers work hard for you?" Kong Lingyun roared angrily, unable to restrain the grief and anger in his heart.

I just want to take revenge, as long as I can take revenge, I don't care if the sky falls apart and the floods torrent...

Gu Mengyu closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her pupils were icy cold: "If I become your Wanwei Queen, will your soldiers work hard for me?"

Kong Lingyun narrowed his eyes: "You have been blinded by hatred."

Gu Mengyu smiled coldly: "Not only the eyes, but also the heart is soaked in hatred and tormented together."

"I will stop this war." Kong Lingyun suddenly felt chilled, such Gu Mengyu subverted his impression.

Gu Mengyu said flatly: "I'm afraid you won't be able to stop it."

"I can't stop it, but someone can!" Kong Lingyun flicked his sleeves, turned and left without saying goodbye.
