Fly the wrong branch and become a phoenix

The wind is strong, rolling up the fallen leaves, shaking the branches, and getting colder and colder.

Standing quietly under the wintersweet tree, Gu Mengyu had extremely complicated emotions in his heart.Every sentence of Kong Lingyun's words was like a knife, wishing to tear him apart, but every sentence was true and pierced his heart, making him so depressed that he couldn't breathe.

Why?

Gu Mengyu has been thinking about it, he can't do any benefit to Wanyi country, and he is not from Wanyi country, so why should he let others work hard for him?

why...

There were complex emotions in the dark eyes, and the sound of sighing turned into a puff of white mist and swayed in the wind.

Just because of Kong Lingqun's love!This is enough!

The bright red and purple lips pursed slightly, and then a self-deprecating smile appeared, Gu Mengyu raised her feet and walked back slowly.mean!Selfish!Is this me now?I reached out and touched my cheek, my fingertips were cold, and my cheek was also cold, numb, I didn't feel it...

The self-mockery on the lips became a bit stronger, exuding a trace of sadness, the inescapable madness of people at the end of the road...

But Gu Mengyu is kind by nature after all, so Kong Lingyun's words put too much pressure on him, making him unable to calm down now. Although he understands that revenge requires sacrifice, his mood fluctuates violently.

Deyuan followed a few steps behind, his eyes stopped for a moment on the lonely back of his master, full of worry, full of resentment towards the aggressive prince.

"Meng Yu." Her clear voice was warm.

Gu Mengyu raised his head in response, still in the midst of thousands of thoughts, his eyes were dazed, and he didn't focus for a while.

Seeing the helpless look of the person in front of him, Kong Lingqun felt a little pain in his heart. He said with a smile, "Why did you go out for a walk so early? It's freezing outside, so go back home."

The person opposite has already taken off the dragon robe, and is also dressed in elegant white, like a green lotus standing proudly in the cold wind, with a tall and straight figure and a warm smile, giving people a kind of warmth and stability.

His eyes flickered slightly, and Gu Mengyu lowered his eyes, and said softly: "I'm so bored, come out for a walk."

Facing Kong Lingqun, he always felt guilty involuntarily, and he didn't even dare to look into this person's eyes.

Seeing Gu Mengyu's evasive eyes, Kong Lingqun sighed softly in his heart, with the same smile on his lips: "I heard from your palace people that you haven't eaten breakfast yet, and I just had a bowl of porridge early, so I don't mind going to you." How about some food and drink over there?"

His Majesty Tangtang uttered the words of eating and drinking, which somewhat disrespected his dignity.But Kong Lingqun didn't mind it in order to let the person he admired frown a little.

"This is your palace, where you want to eat and drink, you can get me to talk." Gu Mengyu moved forward, his tone as relaxed as possible.

Kong Lingqun turned around gracefully, and walked side by side with Gu Mengyu, walking without haste, with maturity and confidence exuding in every gesture.

Gu Mengyu's residence is not far from the emperor's dormitory. There are all kinds of pavilions, pavilions, rockery and small pavilions in the garden, which is somewhat southern style.

Back in the bedroom, taking off the clogs under Dong Yu's service, Gu Mengyu said to Deyuan: "You go down to eat, you don't need to be waited on."

"Yes." Deyuan bowed and retreated respectfully.

After going back to the room and taking off his cloak, Gu Mengyu looked sideways at Kong Lingqun: "Is there anything you want to eat?"

"Feel free, there's nothing you want to eat in particular." Kong Lingqun sat down on the chair and replied with a faint smile.

Gu Mengyu also walked over and ordered: "Your Majesty is eating here, so bring it up immediately."

"Yes."

Cui'e went down to pass the meal, Dong Yu moved the brazier to the feet of the two masters, and stepped back to wait on it.

Stretching out his hand on the brazier, watching the edges of his fingers turn red by the flames, Gu Mengyu asked in a low voice, "Is there a lot of opposition from the court?"

Kong Lingqun also looked down at those flawless jade-like hands, resisted the urge to hold them in his palms, and replied softly: "There are indeed some, most of them are civil servants, but there is not much resistance, Meng Yu doesn't have to worry, I will take care of these things good."

How much pressure was taken lightly like this, and the affection was expressed without words.

"En." Gu Mengyu responded softly, and his eyes stayed on Kong Lingqun's slightly thin face for a moment and then moved away.Gu Mengyu knew in his heart that although Kong Lingqun was not mentally exhausted during this time, it was not easy. He never said these difficulties, and always let himself not have to worry...

"I can't stop it, but someone can!"

Kong Lingyun's categorical words came to mind, and Gu Mengyu felt a little uneasy. Can anyone stop Kong Lingqun?Empress Dowager?Or his grandfather Fan Xingzong, the old general of Wanwei Kingdom?

Although Gu Mengyu didn't know much about Wanyu Kingdom, he had also heard that the relationship between Kong Lingqun and his queen mother was not very good. The queen mother must be incompetent, right?As for the old general, Kong Lingqun really respected him very much, but he was more than seventy years old, his physical condition was not optimistic, and he had long since stopped paying attention to court affairs...

All of a sudden, Gu Mengyu was in a state of confusion, and fell silent.

The breakfast was served quickly, and when the two of them were halfway through, someone came to report: "Old General Fan has entered the palace and wants to see His Majesty."

Come so fast?The spoon stopped near his lips, Gu Mengyu felt a little flustered.There is no doubt that the old general holds a very important weight in Kong Lingqun's heart. Can he match him?If not... Thinking of this, his flustered heart gradually sank, because he didn't know how important he was to Kong Lingqun.

Kong Lingqun frowned slightly, and said, "Let the old general wait in the imperial study for a while."

The emperor still dined gracefully, but the speed was a little faster. Gu Mengyu was carrying a heavy mind, until he had scooped up the fish soup in the bowl without realizing it, and was still stuffing the empty spoon into his mouth.

"Meng Yu..." Wiping his mouth with a wet towel, Kong Lingqun looked at the absent-minded man and smiled calmly, "Use it slowly, I'll go to the imperial study."

How could Gu Mengyu's worry escape Kong Lingqun's eyes? He sighed secretly, I'm afraid this person didn't understand his feelings...

"Ah?" Gu Mengyu seemed to be awakened, raised her eyes to look at Kong Lingqun, and slammed into a pair of eyes full of pity and love, "Oh, you go."

Gu Mengyu looked away in embarrassment, but the panic in her heart calmed down a little.

When Deyuan came over, he saw his master sitting in front of the fire cage with his head down, motionless, like a sculpture. The tea on the desk had lost the smoke that represented the temperature. It was so quiet that he could hear the sound of snow falling outside the house. boring.

In silence, Deyuan walked over, refilled a cup of hot tea, and stood beside him quietly.

"Deyuan..." A faint voice sounded in the empty hall, "Why do you think General Fan entered the palace?"

Has General Fan entered the palace to face the Holy Spirit?Deyuan shook the hand hanging by his side, and couldn't help feeling worried, maybe something bad happened here.Gathering his mind, Deyuan replied cautiously: "Maybe he came for the master."

"The king of a country has too many worries. I was too confident at the beginning." Gu Mengyu said in a low voice, "I don't have a bargaining chip in my hand. It's too naive to make such a choice rashly."

"However, I have nothing. Empty promises are not attractive to all the ministers in Wanwei... If the whole country opposes it, even if Kong Lingqun wants to help me, he will be powerless." Gu Mengyu raised his head slowly with a deep bitterness in his faint voice. Looking at the window reflecting the white snow, "Besides...he has already repaid my kindness to him."

Looking for traces of dreams, the immortal wine that is hard to find in the world, Gu Mengyu's physique has been getting better and better in the past few years, thanks to this thing that washes the blood.If he hadn't given out a pot, he wouldn't have been poisoned this time and his life would have been saved, the degree of preciousness is self-evident.Gratitude is enough!

With life running out, Gu Mengyu became less and less confident.Kong Lingqun did have affection for him seven years ago, but seven years later, he doesn't know how much of this affection is left.Is it really enough to rely on this unknown love?not enough!Never enough!

It seemed that some decision had been made, the blank eyes gradually became clear, and the figure in white clothes straightened his back: "Deyuan, go and have a look, if Emperor Wanxi is free, please come and sit down, I have something to talk about."

"Yes." Deyuan bowed, and for some reason when he stepped back, he felt a little flustered in his heart.

Watching Deyuan go out, his eyes fell on the white skirt when he retracted, he closed his eyes lightly, opened them in a short while, and his eyes were clear: "Dong Yu, change clothes."

Dong Yu, who was waiting in the wing room, appeared quickly, and before he could ask for instructions, he heard the beautiful master order: "Red."

A red shadow stood quietly by the window, let the cold wind blow like ink black hair, and the sleeves of the clothes fluttered, surpassing the crimson of the sunset, surpassing the beauty of a hundred flowers, like a proud plum in full bloom in the wind and snow.

"Sorry……"

The faint, inaudible voice dissipated in the oncoming wind. No one knew who the sorry was for, it was a little hoarse and heavy.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Hong Ying turned around, with red clothes and red lips, picturesque eyebrows, flirtatious and dazzling, glanced behind De Yuan, frowned and said: "Didn't you come?"

De Yuan paused, as if surprised by Gu Mengyu's attire, since he left the palace he has never seen his master in red, what is the reason for this attire now?Thinking of the act of inviting Emperor Wanwei, Deyuan's heart gradually sank, a little angry, a little sad, and then under the watchful eyes of his master, only a deep sense of powerlessness remained.

"General Fan fainted in the imperial study, he was in a hurry, and his subordinates did not see Emperor Wanwei." Lowering his eyes, De Yuan replied softly.

Although he really wanted to avenge His Majesty and the Crown Prince, he was just a small bodyguard and had no ability.Now seeing that the master wants to use his own method to walk on the road of revenge, even if he is unwilling, he has no choice but to follow closely and protect him to the death.

"Having fainted..." Gu Mengyu walked slowly towards the soft couch, step by step, getting heavier and heavier, her face getting paler, and she muttered lonely, "I'm afraid something has changed..."

The cold wind blows from the open window, the veils in the house dance, and the warmth of the room gradually fades away. The brazier seems to be nothing under the ravages of the cold wind, and it is as cold and silent as in the cold sky and ice, piercing the heart.
