The snow fell heavily today, dyeing the whole world white.

Time flies, half a year has passed in a blink of an eye, and the end of the year is approaching.

The green-robed girl who was practicing sword in the snow was turning her sword back, her gaze inadvertently turned to the person resting in the lounge chair under the corridor.Ning Qilan slightly raised her sword and stood up straighter, it was getting late, the master who taught martial arts had already returned, after a while she had dinner, and Gu Yue would start to check the books she had learned today.

She looked at the man from a distance as if she had closed her eyes, but subconsciously withdrew her fierce eyebrows and eyes, and her eyes softened a little.The girl held the sword and wanted to walk towards the woman, but Fang stopped after taking two steps. He stuck the sword in the thick snow, brushed the ice water melted on the robe, and waited for the breath on his body to disappear. After being so cold, he stepped forward again and came to the woman's side in big strides.

Gu Yue's body was weak, especially unable to bear the cold and humid weather.In winter, her extremities often feel cold, and the cold air in her veins persists, so she doesn't go to court, and it is rare for her to ask those people to send memorial documents to the mansion.

Ning Qilan lowered her eyes and looked at this man wrapped in fox fur, with a soft blanket covering his abdomen, and the snow-white fluff clinging tightly to his cheeks. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether the fur was whiter or Gu Yue's cheeks Fairer.Such a color made her bloodless lips a little red, making them more delicate.

Ning Qilan couldn't help but bend her phoenix eyes, and squatted down to look at her carefully.

The man's bun was a little loose, and his black hair, as smooth as a crow's feather, fell on the recliner, making the prestigious regent look even more soft and peaceful at this moment.It's just that a few strands of hair hang down from the corner of the forehead, making Gu Yue's already pale cheeks look lifeless, like a delicate and silent glass doll, which will shatter when touched.

The girl pursed her lips, seeing that the jade hairpin in her bun was slightly tilted, she wanted to reach out to straighten her up.

Unexpectedly, she stretched out her fingertips to touch the woman's hosta, the man trembled his eyelashes and frowned slightly, retracted his cheeks into the thick fluff, and half-opened his eyes in a daze.

There was a thin layer of water mist unconsciously in the almond eyes, and Gu Yue tilted her head with some dissatisfaction. After Fang woke up, her voice was slightly hoarse, and she reprimanded in a low voice: "It's all cold, take your hands away."

In fact, it was slow and weak, without any deterrence.

Gu Yue was holding a small heater in her hand, which was completely covered by the wide long sleeves. At this moment, she was stabbed by the chill from Ning Qilan's fingertips, so she slowly lifted it up and covered it through the sleeves. own face.

"Go change into clothes later, and there will be no chill."

The girl was not annoyed, and continued to straighten the jade hairpin in her bun. Then she put down her hand and carefully looked at Gu Yue's lazy appearance like a snow-white cat after waking up. A little smile.

The regent is afraid of the cold and doesn't like being bored in the room, which is really distressing.

"It's time for dinner soon, Aunt Yue, let's get up and have a cup of hot tea to warm up."

Ning Qilan persuaded softly.

Gu Yue pursed her dry lips, nodded in response, raised her hand to pull the fox fur she was wrapped in, and sat up slowly.

Before she could do anything, the girl squatting beside her quickly took off the blanket covering her legs, and stretched out her fingertips to support her.

The woman paused, narrowed her eyes and glanced at her. Seeing that her phoenix eyes looked like a puppy waiting for praise, she couldn't help but slightly bent her lips, and said with a smile:

"Sleep well."

After spending nearly a year together, they are no longer so alienated.

Ning Qilan likes to watch women smile at her, she feels a little sweet in her heart, and obediently hugs the blanket to help her up.

"Just be nice to Aunt Yue."

After all, she was only an adult, unable to suppress the inexplicable emotion in her chest, she lowered her eyebrows and said in a low voice.

It shouldn't have happened if such ambiguity surpassed the proper boundary between them.

Gu Yue lowered her eyelashes, the smile on her lips faded, and she didn't make a sound, as if she hadn't heard it.

Ning Qilan had been watching her expression all the time, and naturally noticed this subtle change, the light in her eyes dimmed slightly, she also closed her mouth, helped the woman into the room and drank hot tea without saying a word.

It was almost the end of the new year, but the empress still hadn't returned, and the news from the frontline these days was much less, which inevitably made people feel uneasy.

It was snowing heavily outside, and Gu Yue was too lazy to move around, so she asked the servant to deliver the dinner to the house.

She didn't talk much when eating, even Ning Qilan wouldn't speak at this moment, she just ate her own food quietly.At the beginning, the child was quite restrained, but now he seems eager to squeeze into her side. If Gu Yue uses too little, he will boldly use the serving chopsticks to pick up food for her.

At this moment, the woman was both angry and funny, helplessly looking at the bowl that the child had filled for her at some point, she could only sigh softly: "Ah Lan, I can't eat it."

She just thought about it for a while, but when she lowered her head, she saw the vegetables protruding from the bowl, and she really didn't know what to say.

"If I can eat, my stomach will be empty and I will feel cold easily. Aunt Yue eats more to have the strength to check my homework."

The girl said solemnly, and quickly added another chopstick to Gu Yue's favorite dish.

The chopsticks held by the woman had no place to rest for a while, and she gave her a serious look: "It's making up nonsense."

Although Gu Yue seemed deserted and not easy to get close to, she still treated Ning Qilan very tolerantly on weekdays.At this moment, looking at the girl with some headaches, there seemed to be a pair of invisible upright trembling ears on the girl's head. After all, she didn't say anything serious to Ning Qilan, so she could only put down her chopsticks and slowly chew the stuffed food in the bowl.

Ning Qilan raised her eyebrows slightly, propped her chin and stared intently at her meal, with a deep smile in her eyes.

She had used it a lot just now, but this man seemed to be in a daze all the time, and didn't move a word at all.

It's not good to eat raw, and it's not okay to raise such a thin body that it will collapse when the cold wind blows.

Ning Qilan also likes to see Gu Yue's helpless and indulgent appearance towards her, which makes her feel that she is being cared about and makes her happy.

However, the dinner was not finished peacefully in the end, and when Gu Yue lowered her head and quietly ate the food in the bowl, there was a sudden noise from outside the courtyard.

The woman didn't like making noise, so she frowned and stopped what she was doing.The girl beside her also frowned and raised her eyes to look out, and she was about to get up first and go out to check, to see who was so brave enough to disturb her and Aunt Yue's meal.

But before she could stand up, an attendant suddenly ran in from the door, kneeling on the ground in panic, with a trembling voice, looking straight at the woman sitting on the main seat:

"My lord! It's...it's the news from the defenders outside the city... His Majesty entered the enemy's ambush by mistake and was seriously injured. Now he has secretly returned to the palace. At this moment, someone from the palace wants you to enter the palace to discuss matters!"

Snapped!

Ning Qilan narrowed her eyes and stared at the attendant with a cold and calm expression, but suddenly heard a sound coming from the side.When I looked sideways, I saw that the face of the most indifferent and calm person in the usual days changed drastically, and the anxiety between his brows could no longer be concealed, and he knocked over the teacup in a panic.

"Aunt Yue..."

The girl was taken aback, and called softly, trying to reach out to comfort him.

"Immediately prepare the sedan chair and enter the palace, don't let this matter get out!"

Gu Yue stabilized his mind, commanded his attendants sharply, with a fierce look on his brows:

"Anyone who dares to leak information will be killed."

She pinched her palms heavily, and stood up instantly, but her chest was suddenly congested, and the itching in her throat rose, causing the woman to prop up her sleeves on the table and cover her lips, coughing uncontrollably.

The severe cough made her eyes foggy, and Ning Qilan had already come to her side, circling her coughing body with some worry, pursing her lips and caressing Gu Yue's back, She is smooth.

"...You stay in the mansion well and don't go out, you understand?"

Gu Yue's forehead was also throbbing at this moment, and she tightly squeezed Ning Qilan's wrist to tell her, but there was a little blood on the corners of her lips.

"Aunt Yue!"

Ning Qilan noticed that her hanging fingertips were stained with blood red, and her expression changed suddenly.

"nothing."

Gu Yue closed her eyes, swallowed the itch in her throat, lightly patted the girl's fingertips, and told her again: "Don't go out, wait for me to come back."

She casually took the handkerchief from the table, and before she could see Ning Qilan's expression, she walked out quickly while wiping the blood from her palms and mouth.

The snow-white fur fluttered as she walked, and soon disappeared into the night.

Ning Qilan watched the woman's back gradually go away, her eyes couldn't help but dimmed a lot.The girl looked down at the half bowl of food left, her brows furrowed uncontrollably, she bent down to pick up Gu Yue's chopsticks, and unhurriedly took some food from the woman's bowl and put it into her mouth.

The glaring blood red at the corner of Gu Yue's mouth appeared in front of her eyes, and she recalled the appearance of a woman she had never seen so flustered, and felt extremely irritable and displeased for some reason.

To die is to die, why should Aunt Yue be so anxious?

The empress was seriously injured. When Gu Yue came in, she was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, and there was no blood on her cheeks.As soon as Fang approached, he could smell a very strong smell of herbs. How could there be any bravery in the past?

When Xu Shi heard the movement, the empress' eyes moved slightly, and she turned her head to look at Gu Yue.

The pair of phoenix eyes, which were very similar to Ning Qilan, were a little dazed, and after looking carefully for a long while, she slowly smiled, and said in a warm voice, "Ah Yue is here?"

"I haven't seen you for a long time, and I really miss you."

The Empress joked softly, as if nothing happened.

"His Majesty."

Gu Yue lowered her eyes, interrupted her, and saluted respectfully.

When she raised her head again, her expression had calmed down a lot, her eyes swept across the pale face of the Empress, and she asked softly:

"Your Majesty called me, what can I order?"

She didn't even ask how the Empress' body was.

From the acquaintance and fighting side by side when they were young, to the empress ascending the throne and assisting her around, Gu Yue is familiar with and understands the meaning of her every move, as if she is familiar with the palm of her hand and the back of her hand.

After all, she was once a counselor known for her resourcefulness, and insight into the minds of superiors is also an indispensable skill.

The empress looked at her silently, seeing that the girl whom she had loved as a brother and sister was still in full bloom, and also caught a glimpse of her cheeks that couldn't stop turning white in such a cold winter.

This was something that had never existed before. Gu Yue once carried a knife across the battlefield without any fear of cold and heat.

It's just that he blocked the sword for her later, and left the root cause of a life-long incurable disease.

Even the ruthless and cruel emperor couldn't meet Gu Yue's eyes openly at this moment.

There was already a bowl of slightly cooled medicine on the table not far away.

The empress lowered her eyes, not as proud and proud as she was when she was crowned king for Gu Yue back then, she concealed some guilt of lack of confidence, and said softly:

"Ah Yue, I'm leaving."

She raised her finger to point at the bowl of medicine, opened her lips again and again, and finally squeezed out the words that had been lingering in her heart for a long time.

"... just drink it."

The aloof emperor's speech has always been slamming Fang Qiu, sonorous and forceful, when has it been so powerless and pale?

After drinking this bowl of medicine, she can go there with peace of mind.

How could the empress' most trusted counselor fail to understand what she meant?

Gu Yue suddenly raised his eyebrows and smiled.

After the empress ascended the throne, she was always so calm and quiet, she no longer had the vigor and spirit of a young man like before, but she seemed to have completely restrained her mind overnight.

But now, she rudely and transgressively showed such a smile mixed with indifference and mockery in front of the emperor, shook her head slightly, without saying a word, walked to the side of the case silently, picked up the medicine bowl, and stood in front of the empress. Drink one in front of you.

After drinking the bitter soup, the smile on her face was also diluted.

"... Ah Yue..."

Gu Yue gently put down the bowl in her hand, knelt down and saluted the empress, her slightly loose hair bun fell quietly on her shoulders as she lowered her head, covering the expression on her face Mostly.

"Night is coming, Your Majesty should rest early, and I will leave now."

She was so presumptuous, she didn't wait for the empress to open her mouth, she stood up on her own, straightened her back, lowered her head and retreated silently.

"Ayue!"

The Queen's voice raised.

Gu Yue paused, didn't turn around to look at her, but just stood there quietly.

"...I'm sorry for you...you...help that child..."

This is a request from the emperor.

It's really... funny.

The woman's expression was extremely pale, and her eyes were empty, as if a heavy snow had fallen like outside, and there was nothing left in the vast expanse of whiteness.

"as you wish."

The emperor's heart is unpredictable, as long as she sits in the position of the regent who was supported by the empress for a day, she will suffer a day of speculation and doubts.

If the mother is like this, the child is naturally indispensable.

"Since this day is here, why bother?"

At the last moment when she stepped out of the dormitory, she still couldn't hold back, and opened her mouth in a low voice.

The emperor behind him lay slumped on the bed, but he had nowhere to refute.

People's hearts are fickle, and that's how it should be.

In the Prince Regent's Mansion, Ning Qilan waited in Gu Yue's room until late at night.

Ever since she fainted after being punished and Gu Yue took her to her room to resettle, she has become familiar with every decoration here.

Ning Qilan can clearly recall how the woman hugged her in her arms and rubbed her abdomen. At that time, the warm current from the abdomen inadvertently overwhelmed her pain and chill. Some nostalgia.

She also remembered how Gu Yue coaxed her to drink medicine and called her Ah Lan over and over again in her ear.

It can really take away people's souls.

I was confused at the time, but I remember it clearly afterwards.

The girl raised her hand and touched the tips of her ears, her thoughts drifted away, and she couldn't help but think about the scene of that night.

But it didn't take long for her to remember, when there was a sound of heavy footsteps outside the door, which was totally different from Gu Yue's usual movements.

Ning Qilan thought it was someone else, her face instantly turned cold, she narrowed her eyes and looked out, only to see a woman reeking of alcohol staggering in while holding on to the threshold.

"Aunt Yue?"

She had never seen Gu Yue drink like this before, she was surprised, and hurriedly stepped forward to hug this man with some worry.

"What's the matter? How did you drink like this?"

Ning Qilan half-armed the man to the table and sat down, poured a cup of tea to the woman's lips.

Gu Yue drank too much, and her consciousness was not very clear. When the tea was brought to her mouth, she just drank it all in Ning Qilan's hand.He must have heard the girl's question, a bit of bewilderment flashed in his almond eyes, he shook his head slowly and silently, and did not speak.

Even the fur coat on her body was a little crooked, Ning Qilan stretched out her hand to straighten her, seeing her rare and confused appearance, she curled her lips in a novel and amusing way, but she was casually thinking about what to do. Teach the servants who let her stagger back all the way.

The woman stared blankly at Ning Qilan's eyes, her lips pursed slightly.

"Aunt Yue..."

Ning Qilan's unspoken words were blocked in her throat by the woman's sudden kiss. She froze for a moment, then opened her eyes wide, really at a loss, and let Gu Yue raise her arms to hug her in a daze Her neck couldn't react for a while.

This kiss still smelled of alcohol, but it was extremely sweet and deep.

From being stiff and bewildered at the beginning, to being reactive and active later on, the little queen's extraordinary talent can be seen from it.

Ning Qilan was almost about to drown in such a sweet and soft breath, her eyes were already overflowing with strong emotions.

However, just when the green gauze was hanging down and the hairpins and hairpins fell to the ground, the person in her arms was in a drunken haze, crying in a low voice with resentment and grievance in her ear:

"...Zhitong...Zhitong...you are so cruel..."

The gentle and infatuated smile overflowing from Ning Qilan's lips froze suddenly, as if someone had poured a basin of piercing ice water from the top of her head, and her hot and soft heart felt cold in an instant.

Zhitong, Ning Zhitong.

This is the name of her mother, the current empress.
