I became my ex-husband's cat after rebirth

◎He doesn't have to die in the winter in the capital which he hates the most. ◎

When Gu Yetan returned to Gu's residence, Gu Yuan was playing chess with Gu Tingyue in the gazebo.

It was said to be playing, but in fact it was Gu Yuan who was playing with him. The little girl held her chin and watched intently from the side.

Gu Yetan paused, walked closer and looked at the chessboard, after a while, he moved a sunspot.

The originally evenly matched situation changed in an instant, with Heizi staring at him fiercely, threatening to annex Baizi together.

Gu Yuan was startled and raised his eyes.

After a while, he smiled and stood up: "Father."

Gu Yetan took a deep look at him and looked away.

"Your Majesty ordered you to go to the Ministry of Industry to work with Tang Shilang." He said, "How are you doing?"

A few days ago, Gu Yuan wrote an article about water control.The text is logical and rigorous, and the content is quite innovative.

This article later reached the ears of the emperor, who was greatly appreciated.So he ordered Gu Yuan to go to the Ministry of Industry to take a post as the chief, and then he was busy with the flood problem of the recent flood.

"For the past two days, I have followed Tang Shilang to read books on water control and research plans." Gu Yuan said, "If the disaster is serious in a few days, I may have to follow south."

Gu Yetan nodded.

"Don't be afraid of suffering." He said, "You are lacking in practice and experience now. You can learn a lot by following the adults and studying hard."

"Yes." Gu Yuan replied.

Just when the maid at the side came over, Gu Yetan glanced at Gu Tingyue and asked, "Miss, is it time to take medicine?"

"Yes, sir." said the maid.

"Then you can serve her a drink." Gu Yetan lovingly touched the little girl's head, stood up, "Yuan'er, come with me."

Gu Yuan paused, stood up, and followed Gu Yetan to the study.

"The news from the Northern Yin side has come. It is said that the patriarch of the Northern Yin clan was so angry that he passed out on the spot. After waking up, he wanted to come to apologize in person, but was rejected by the Holy One." Gu Yetan said, "However, the Holy Majesty heard that the patriarch From the appearance at that time, there was also compassion in my heart, and the words were much gentler than the words."

"In the final analysis." Gu Yuan said, "This is not what Northern Yin itself meant, and there is still room for change."

"That's right." Gu Yetan sighed, "In recent years, Suixi and Southern Liao have been eyeing us outside, and the weather is not good inside. We have been plagued by disasters, and the harvests in various places have not been good."

"Your Majesty must be unwilling to start another war."

He paused for a moment.

"Besides, the Holy Majesty is not in good health recently." He said.

Gu Yuan paused and raised his eyes.

The incident in the Northern Yin Dynasty happened suddenly, but in fact, after careful study, it was not accidental.

As the prince, He Lianjin, the more prestigious he was, the less he dared to act rashly before the East Palace was established.

He dared to investigate the matter of the Northern Yin Dynasty, and no one dared or was willing to think about who ordered it.

and……

From getting the news to when the incident happened, the time really went too fast.

if……

"Northern Yin has been powerful for a long time." Gu Yuan said in a low voice, "Your Majesty...doesn't want to leave this hidden danger behind."

Today's sage is the most proud son of the late emperor. After succeeding to the throne, he has worked hard to govern. It is only in recent years that he has been a little weak because of his health.

"Na Yu..."

He raised his head, but suddenly pursed his lips.

Gu Yetan glanced at him.

There was a moment of silence in the air.

After a while, Gu Yetan said, "The chess move just now was not because you couldn't think of it, but because your mind was disturbed."

"I heard from your mother." He said slowly, "You didn't read the portrait that was sent."

"...the child has a marriage contract."

"It can be solved."

"baby……"

"His Royal Highness Prince Yu has closed the door to thank guests."

Gu Yuan's fingers trembled slightly.

Gu Yetan looked at him with deep eyes: "He has been grounded, and no one comes to the door right now. Yuan'er, His Royal Highness King Yu doesn't want to see you."

Gu Yuan took a deep breath, curled his fingers unconsciously, and closed his eyes.

After He Liansheng said that sentence, at a certain moment, Gu Yuan's mind went blank.

When he came back to his senses, he had already stepped forward, reached out and grabbed He Liansheng's sleeve.

Liu Li's expression on the side became extremely ugly, but Gu Yuan didn't notice it, because...

Almost at the same moment, He Liansheng shook off his hand.

"Don't touch me." He said softly.

It was a look that Gu Yuan had never seen before.

Strange, embarrassing.

Fragmented.

This is the first time that He Liansheng said "包#哥#儿#全#理#No" to Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan's heart trembled.

An inexplicable fear suddenly surged up from the bottom of his heart, almost swallowing him to death.

This inexplicable emotion made him suddenly a little irritable.

He looked at He Liansheng and took a deep breath: "Your Highness, why should you have such a temper with the minister? Your Highness is at fault first. If this matter gets out of hand, it will also damage the face of the royal family. Although Ali's words are harsh, they are just Worried about Tingyue, you..."

"Having lost your temper?" He Liansheng seemed to have heard some funny joke, suddenly raised his eyes, and said softly, "You think I'm losing my temper?"

"Gu Yuan." He looked at the person in front of him and chuckled, "Who are you and who am I? I'm getting angry with you, are you worthy?"

This sentence is merciless.

In an instant, Gu Yuan remembered the moment when the marriage decree arrived at the Gu residence.

He became the laughing stock of the whole capital.

Rumors like "man's wife", "forbidden body", and "royal plaything" stabbed him like a knife, and stabbed Gu's face in the face.

He was finally aroused.

"Yes, Your Highness has a distinguished status." He sneered, "I am naturally not worthy of Your Highness."

"But don't forget, Your Highness. At the beginning, His Highness forced the Holy One to grant the marriage. Your Highness, why don't you reflect on yourself first. Isn't it..."

"Yes." He Liansheng said, "I'm cheap."

Gu Yuan suddenly stopped talking.

"How cheap I am, Gu Yuan." He Liansheng looked at him and smiled, "Knowing that you don't like me, I still beg you to marry me. Because of this, I still feel guilty towards you. What do you want?" What do I give you? If you want to become an official, I will kneel in the rain. I will ask a doctor to help you see your sister’s illness. In the end, you said that I poisoned her. You are right, I really should reflect on myself, yes I'm so cheap."

He looked at Gu Yuan, his lips trembled, and then let out a breath, remembering something: "Oh, that's right."

He smiled: "I got angry and drank too much, and I became more interested. You were going to sleep, so I fell asleep too. When I woke up, I was thrown in the room by myself, and I was coaxed casually, and then I was coaxed back to sleep."

"The young ladies in Furong Building are not as cheap as I am, at least they still have money after they sleep." He said softly, "You think so?"

...To this day, Gu Yuan still remembers He Liansheng's tone of voice when he said these words.

He wanted to say that even if he was angry, why should he be so self-deprecating, he is a high-ranking prince, he is just a commoner, and their status is extremely distinct, not to mention the difference between cloud and mud.

But he couldn't say it, because although He Liansheng didn't seem hysterical, it was more shocking than hysterical.

He is like a puppet that has been drawn out of its anger, looking straight at Gu Yuan with a pair of different pupils, it is clear that it is still his reflection inside, but it seems that there is nothing.

In the end, he moved his lips and said only one sentence: "Calm down."

Helenson paused.

Then, he smiled and turned away.

He thought...

He Liansheng was only annoyed by being punctured for a while, but the other party didn't see him on the second or third day.

That is Prince Yu's Mansion.

He Liansheng didn't want to see him, there were ten thousand ways.

He endured it for three days, and when he wanted to talk to He Liansheng again, he was invited out of Prince Yu's Mansion.

There was silence in the study.

Gu Yuan opened his eyes, Gu Yetan was still looking at him, he was silent for a moment, then opened his mouth:

"……Yes."

"The child knows." He said.

He Liansheng didn't want to see him.

he knows.

Gu Yetan hesitated to speak.

After a while, he said: "When I asked you to win the trust, as a father, I knew that you and King Yu would only have a temporary relationship. Although this matter was initiated by the second prince of Northern Yin, it was ultimately you who personally facilitated it." Due to the decline of the Dugu Clan, it is only natural for him to feel resentful because of this."

Gu Yuan moved his lips.

He remembered what He Liansheng said before.

Perhaps compared to this matter, He Liansheng only cares about him...

lied to him.

"Since that's the case." Gu Yetan said, "Choose a day and you will enter the palace with me, and before the Holy Majesty's heart softens, break up this marriage contract."

"Father!"

Gu Yuan blurted out.

Then, facing Gu Yetan's complicated eyes, his lips trembled.

"Father." He said softly, "Let me think again."

Gu Yetan looked at him for a long time, sighed, waved his hand, and let him go.

Gu Yuan stepped out the door in a daze.

Outside the door was pink and willows were green, he walked along the corridor for a while, when he came back to his senses, he found that he had reached the courtyard where He Liansheng used to live.

Although he moved away, He Liansheng's courtyard, Gu Mansion, has always been reserved for him.

Right now, the furnishings, flowers and plants in the yard are still there, but the inside is empty, with no one there.

It was a bright and sunny day, but this courtyard revealed an unspeakable desolation and bleakness for no reason.

A gust of wind blew by, and a few withered and yellow leaves were blown by the wind and fell to Gu Yuan's feet.

He snapped back to his senses, suddenly he didn't dare to look any more, and quickly left the gate of the courtyard.

It wasn't until he saw Gu Tingyue who had finished drinking the medicine that he heaved a sigh of relief and sat beside Gu Tingyue.

After Gu Tingyue finished drinking the medicine, her whole face was wrinkled together in bitterness, compared with the original expressionless face, it was a little more lively and angry.

Seeing Gu Yuan approaching, she wrinkled her nose and pulled Gu Yuan's sleeve:

"……bitter."

Gu Yuan smiled lightly, took a zongzi candy from his sleeve, and put it in her palm.

The little girl's eyes lit up instantly, but after getting the candy, she didn't eat it right away.

After a while, she said softly, "I want brother."

Gu Yuan was startled.

He thought for a moment, then told the maid next to him: "Go and invite Young Master Li over."

"I want... Brother Ah Sheng!"

Gu Tingyue raised her eyes and looked straight at him, her black and white eyes were clear and clean, a little more anxious.

Gu Yuan looked at her and stopped his hands on the spot.

After a while, he pursed his lips, and said to the maid beside him: "...Go and tell Ah Fu, let him go to Yuwang Mansion to ask again today, and say that I want to talk to His Highness."

The maid took the order and left.

Not long after, she brought the latest news.

"The people in Prince Yu's Mansion said that His Highness has entered the palace today." She said.

Gu Yuan was startled.

After a while, he exhaled: "Got it."

At noon, Xuanhe Palace.

At this moment, the brightly decorated and elegantly decorated inner room lost its former bustle and became particularly desolate.

Inside the soft and hazy gauze curtain, a woman with a bright face closed her eyes, her face was pale but calm.

Not long after, there were footsteps approaching, and she opened her eyes.

"Your Majesty." The maid said softly, "His Royal Highness Prince Yu has come to see you."

Duguya's eyelashes trembled.

After a while, a person dressed in moon white entered the door, knelt down outside the curtain, and opened his mouth softly: "Mother Concubine."

"You are so capable, you actually managed to get in." Dugu Ya opened her lips, "Going to kneel in front of the hall again?"

After the words fell, she raised her eyes, but was startled.

He Liansheng rarely wears such a plain color.

Her children are outstanding, and they are the most enthusiastic and good-looking in red.But right now, the other party was dressed in plain clothes, and that beautiful and flamboyant delicate face was rendered bloodless, pale and quiet.

"...that expression." She murmured to herself, "it looks like she's already crying. Your mother isn't dead yet."

She paused, "That's all."

He Liansheng raised his eyes in a daze, and was pulled into a warm embrace.

Ever since she could remember, Duguya seldom hugged him.

Both men and women in the Northern Yin Dynasty were raised to "fend for themselves". They firmly believed that only under the wind, frost, rain and dew could children grow into the most natural appearance.

When He Liansheng was learning to walk when he was young, he fell over and over again. The palace maids and eunuchs, because of Dugu Ya's threat, none of them dared to help.

After growing up, Dugu Ya let him solve all the big and small matters, whether it was encountering difficulties or making decisions.

"My concubine can't be with you forever." Dugu Ya said to He Liansheng like this.

He Liansheng closed his eyes, smelled the familiar fragrance from Duguya's body, and suddenly let go of all his strength.

"Mother Concubine." He said softly.

"It's okay." Duguya patted him on the back and gently coaxed him, "Mother Concubine is okay."

After a while, she let go of He Liansheng and looked at him carefully for a while.

"How did you get in?" she asked.

It stands to reason that no one should be able to enter Xuanhe Palace now.

Helenson paused.

"I asked someone to bring a letter to Father Huang." He said.

Nothing was said in his letter.It is only said that he misses Dugu Ya, since it is a foot restraint, there is not much difference between the foot restraint in the palace and the palace.I hope that the Holy Spirit will allow him to enter the palace to accompany his mother.

This requirement is not excessive.

The emperor agrees.

After hearing this, Duguya squeezed his face.

"You are his son." She sighed, a little helpless, "and almost never went back to Beiyin, at this time, try to separate the relationship as much as possible. Why come to this muddy water."

He Liansheng shook his head.

"I have the blood of the Northern Yin on my body." He said calmly.

Duguya was silent for a moment.

"Yes." She let out a breath, "Xiao Sheng, you are right. We all have the blood of Beiyin."

"Such a simple truth." She laughed, "You remember, but I forgot."

He Liansheng held her cold fingers.

Duguya patted him, and suddenly said: "Do you know why the concubine mother left the palace?"

He Liansheng was startled, and raised his eyes.

Duguya was only 17 years old when she married the emperor.

The Northern Yin people are a very peculiar group.

They are bold and open, they pay attention to doing what they want when it comes to love between men and women, and they are not surprised by Nanfeng.

But at the same time, they also celebrate fidelity.

The current Northern Yin patriarch only married one wife.

Duguya is pretty, and Beiyin has a lot of people pursuing her.

But liking this kind of thing is obviously not something that can be decided by oneself.

The person she likes is handsome, talented, and high-spirited, and she fell in love with him at a glance that year.

For this reason, she even endured that there were others between them.

"At that time." Dugu Ya said, "Although he has not yet married a concubine, he has already taken a concubine."

She paused, "He promised me that after me, he would never marry anyone else. But then..."

Later, her sweetheart became the emperor.

"Then." She curled her lips and smiled, "His promise became, not to be a successor."

The Northern Yin family is a foreign race. When the emperor wanted to make her the empress, there were voices of opposition from both the government and the opposition.

Later, it was Dugu Ya who took the initiative to back down a step.

He Liansheng was stunned.

"Empress Jiang is the niece of the Empress Dowager." He said, "Later..."

"Later, the empress dowager passed away, and the corruption of the Jiang family was exposed, and the Jiang family lost their honor and favor. This was a later thing." Dugu Ya said, and then smiled, "Xiao Sheng, look, why is it not the case now?"

That year, she left the palace in anger because of becoming a queen, but she still had some hope in her heart.

At that time, she should understand.

In order to appease his relatives, the emperor can use the same method to give honor to the Northern Yin Dynasty.

Born in an emperor's family, there has never been pure emotion at all, only eternal checks and balances and interests.

He Liansheng lowered his eyes.

"Do you think..." he said, "is he sincere to you?"

Duguya was silent for a moment.

"Perhaps," she said.

"Maybe, I didn't want to admit it, and I was wrong at the beginning."

She smiled.

What she wants is a good husband who treats her wholeheartedly, or, at least, when facing her alone, he can let go of his guard.

But her husband, it seems... has always regarded himself as an emperor on a high seat.

It's just that now, these are not important anymore.

"You're like me," she said.

He Liansheng paused with his fingers, showing a forced smile: "Didn't you keep saying that I look like my father?"

He didn't intend to tell Duguya about him and Gu Yuan.

In the past, I was afraid that she would make fun of me, but now I am afraid that it will make her worry unnecessarily.

"You are as smart as him." Duguya said indifferently, "On the surface, you pretend not to understand anything, but you are clear in your heart. You didn't learn half of our direct communication from Beiyin. Sometimes, I Seeing you makes my teeth itch."

He Liansheng laughed.

"But emotionally." Duguya looked at him and sighed, "You are also a muscle."

He Liansheng paused with his fingers placed by his side.

After a while, he pursed his lips and turned his eyes away.

In the end, Duguya still didn't ask He Liansheng what happened between him and Gu Yuan.

He Liansheng stayed quietly in Xuanhe Palace, in a trance, as if returning to the old days.

At that time, he hadn't been chasing Gu Yuan all the time, what he thought about every day when he opened his eyes was not what Gu Yuan liked or didn't like, the most fun was teasing He Lianheng.

correct……

he thinks.

I don't know how He Lianheng is doing now.

that idiot.

Maybe he is running around in a hurry at the mansion right now.

Thinking of this, he hooked his lips.

Then, he thought of the look in Gu Yuan's eyes that day.

In the past, he was actually very afraid of seeing Gu Yuan's eyes, because he was afraid of seeing the possible disgust in it.

But when this disgust was really in front of him, he was not as desperate as he imagined.

It is not difficult to guess who gave the medicine.It was precisely because he guessed it that he found it ridiculous.

Gu Yuan was right.

He should reflect on himself.

They are brothers who have grown up together for more than ten years. They trust each other and are indestructible.

It was he who insisted on getting involved and disturbed the century-old relationship between the righteous brothers.Perhaps, if it wasn't for him, Gu Yuan's younger brother who he called shy and well-behaved would have tied the knot with him long ago.

As for...

Why have you already decided that he is that kind of person, and you still spend time making false claims with him.

Probably because he annoyed Gu Yuan by sticking to it, he thought of a way to get it done once and for all.

After figuring this out, he stopped thinking about it, and waited for the order to dissolve the engagement with peace of mind.

A day passed, and he didn't wait.

three days passed...

Half a month later, the door of Xuanhe Palace opened.

The autumn wind has risen.

The old tree in the courtyard of Xuanhe Palace had lost all its leaves, and the withered and yellow leaves fell to the ground. When the wind blew, there was a rustling sound.

The servants in the courtyard performed their duties, but no one made a sound.

In the quiet courtyard, after Sang Gui finished reading the imperial decree and handed it to Duguya, she smiled kindly at her:

"Young concubine, you have suffered a lot these days."

Duguya also smiled: "Have you found out, Your Majesty?"

"I've found out." Sang Gui said, "Your Majesty has nothing to do with the Second Prince's matter. Northern Yin has re-sent envoys to negotiate, and now, the negotiation should be concluded."

The smile on Dugu Ya's face remained unchanged: "That's good."

After that, she turned around and went back to the room.

Sang Gui stayed where he was, the smile on his face was too late to take back, quite embarrassed.

Fortunately, He Liansheng at the side broke the silence.

"Eunuch Sang." He said.

He tilted his head, "When will my decree come down?"

Sang Gui was taken aback for a while, he hesitated and said:

"I've never heard of it..."

He Liansheng was taken aback for a moment.

"Where's Gu Yuan?" He asked.

"Lord Gu is working in the Ministry of Industry recently, busy with the flood in the south, if His Highness wants to go back..."

He Liansheng let out an "oh".

"I'm busy," he said.

No wonder there is no time to ask for an order.

"It's all right." He said, "Eunuch, please go back."

Sang Gui quickly pulled him back: "Your Highness..."

He Liansheng looked back and looked at him suspiciously.

"That's right." Sang Gui said softly, "A few days ago, the Holy One had no choice but to wrong the empress, and I felt very guilty. These days, I was ill and restless. The old slave knew that the empress was angry, so His Highness still persuaded the empress, If you’re free, you’d better… go to the Holy Majesty to take a look.”

He Liansheng was silent for a moment.

"Then why didn't he come by himself?" He smiled.

Sang Gui froze in place.

Before he came back to his senses, He Liansheng had already entered the door.

Day two.

The concubines came to Xuanhe Palace to pay their respects one after another, but were sent back one by one by Dugu Ya.

Day three.

The queen came to the door and gave some jewelry and jade, Duguya accepted them all, talking and laughing with the queen, it seemed like they became good sisters.

fourth day...

No. On the 17th, news came from the palace that the emperor was critically ill.

The moment she heard the news, Dugu Ya paused in front of the dressing table, raised her eyes, and looked at herself in the mirror.

"I'll go and have a look." He Liansheng said.

Duguya didn't speak, but closed her eyes.

The emperor's illness came violently.

According to the imperial doctor, he became sick from overwork, and dragged on for too long, until one day, he coughed up blood.

Since that day, he has been bedridden with illness, and all affairs in court have been handed over to He Lianjin.

When He Liansheng stepped into the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the air was filled with a bitter medicinal fragrance.

Everyone who came in and out was in a hurry, he lowered his eyes and saw He Lianjin coming out from inside.

After not seeing him for many days, the other party became more and more radiant. When he saw him, his face froze for a moment, and then returned to normal.

"Seventh brother." He said.

"Recently, it has been much less clear." He said in a personable manner.

"Brother Huang, you're welcome." He Liansheng smiled, "Brother Huang, thank you for this. Seeing you today, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat for a long time when you go back."

He Lianjin: "..."

After a while, he smiled: "Seventh brother is still so joking."

"I still have something to do." He said, "I won't accompany you."

After that, he smiled and looked away, and left the hall.

He Liansheng was silent for a while.

He found that he really admired He Lianjin's shameless face that would not change face when Mount Tai collapsed in front of him.

"Your Highness." The eunuch at the side said cautiously, "The Holy Majesty is waiting for you."

He Liansheng came back to his senses and stepped into the room.

There was a breathless silence in the room, the bright yellow bed curtain was pulled up, the emperor lay on the bed, coughing continuously, his face seemed to have aged ten years.

He Liansheng only took one look, and knew that the other party might not have much time.

He paused, lowered his eyes, and clenched his palms unconsciously.

After a while, he opened his mouth:

"Father."

The emperor looked at him with cloudy eyes, and then coughed violently a few times:

"... Sheng'er."

"You...cough cough." He covered his handkerchief and coughed in a muffled voice, "Where is your mother and concubine?"

He Liansheng was silent for a moment.

Seeing his appearance, the emperor also understood, and he closed his eyes.

After a while, he smiled slowly.

"She hates me," he said.

"Not to that point." He Liansheng said.

Duguya just didn't want to see him.

Because I realized something.

Helian Sheng knew.

But the emperor obviously didn't believe it.

There was a trace of injury in his eyes, but it was soon replaced by a more severe cough.

He Liansheng pursed his lips: "Speak less."

"Want some water?" he asked.

Before the emperor could answer, he took the cup beside him and fed him some water.

After drinking warm water, the emperor calmed down a bit. He raised his eyes, looked at the person in front of him firmly, and said in a hoarse voice:

"Sheng'er, do you hate me?"

Helenson paused.

He looked at the person lying on the dragon bed, he was very close to this person, even if the other person was the Nine-Five Supreme.

But back in the palace, he was also a father who allowed himself to pull his beard, but still smiled.

"I agree to marry Gu Yuan." He said, "Is there any reason why you don't want me to compete for the crown?"

The astonishment in the emperor's eyes was fleeting.

"Listen to the truth."

Helian Sheng said.

After a while, the emperor nodded.

The corner of He Liansheng's mouth curled up, but there was no smile in his eyes.

He remembered that when he was a child, when He Lianjin hadn't grown up to the annoying appearance she had now, she had complained secretly about the harshness of the emperor.

At that time, he still gloated and felt that he was the one favored.

"I don't hate you." He said.

"I just feel..." He smiled, "You are really tired from living."

If in this world, even liking someone and hating someone have to be carefully calculated.

So……

He didn't know the meaning of such a life.

"Recover well." He stood up.

"I...cough cough." The emperor suddenly became agitated, "I told your fourth brother that he won't...won't kill you, I'll let... cough cough, let him let you go back to Beiyin, you, You go back……"

He Liansheng stood against the light and looked back at him.

At that moment, for the first time in the eyes of the emperor, he saw the anxiety of being a father.

He was silent for a moment, swallowed the sentence "Do you believe it?", and smiled:

"it is good."

After all, he stepped out the door.

Everything after that came quickly.

The emperor's time was running out, and he didn't last long. Fortunately, the matter of the Northern Yin Dynasty was over and the border was peaceful.

When the edict was issued, He Liansheng dressed properly for the first time, and stood underneath for a long time, waiting for the cumbersome words to finish.

He raised his head and saw He Lianjin's perfect and kind smile at the end of the high steps.

He was so dizzy, he simply closed his eyes and felt the light of the sky that was no longer dazzling.

he knows.

After some time, he may never see such a beautiful sunshine.

When he was pushed into the limbo, he did not resist. He Lianjin stood in front of him, bent over to look at him, with a very calm expression:

"Seventh brother, can you plead guilty?"

He Liansheng raised his head and saw the dragon pattern embroidered on the corner of his robe.

He smiled: "The old man actually believes you."

He Lianjin's expression remained unchanged.

"I admit it, and I will let the concubine go." He said, "You are so smart, I don't need to say more."

Helian Sheng didn't speak.

He looked at the slightly open door not far away, outside the door was the bleak early spring.

Winter in Beijing is always very cold.

He once thought of going to the south with Gu Yuan, because the climate there is pleasant, he likes the sunshine, and doesn't like the endless haze.

He also thought about taking Gu Yuan to Beiyin, seeing the boundless snowfields of Beiyin, where people danced around the bonfire in the cold winter, and then gave the token of love to his beloved girl or boy.

fine……

he thinks.

He didn't have to die in what he hated most, the winter in the capital.

He let out a breath.

"Add a condition," he said.

He Lianjin readily motioned for him to continue talking.

"Decree to dissolve my engagement with Gu Yuan." He said, "give him back his freedom."

He couldn't wait for Gu Yuan's own request, and he was stubborn. After so many days, he didn't think about anything.

Gu Yuan must be very disappointed.

In this case……

He is tired.

So let's end here.

"Okay." He Lianjin responded, took a deep look at him, and said suddenly, "If you were He Lianheng, I might not kill you."

"Don't call him stupid at this time." He Liansheng smiled, "He will be sad."

He Lianjin smiled, turned around and walked out, closing the door for him.

In early spring, by the Nanqiang River.

The newly erected tent was thrown open abruptly, a handsome young man entered the tent, gulped down a bowl of water, and then breathed a sigh of relief:

"worn out."

"Hard work." Beside him, the man in white put down the blueprint in his hand and handed him the handkerchief, "How is the situation today?"

"In the past few days, the refugees have been properly resettled in nearby villages and towns." The young man said, "The porridge shed has also been set up. After a few days, the mud is cleared and the remaining dams are built. The rescue can be handed over to the magistrate. "

Gu Yuan let out a breath.

"That's good." He said.

"That's right." The boy said, "Master, today, someone came to ask you again."

Gu Yuan was startled.

"Miss from Zhifu Cao's family." The young man smiled and said, "You are born like a fish and a wild goose, a shameful flower in a closed moon. The young lady of his family caught a glimpse of you that day and asked her father to find out if you are married."

He is from Xicang, his home is on the bank of the Nanqiang River, and he works in the magistrate's yamen. When the imperial court said that he would send someone down, he dismissed it.

Unexpectedly, the person sent this time actually has some real talents. These days, he has been running around with Gu Yuan.

The more he talked, the more excited he became, but seeing that the person in front of him was calm, he lowered his eyes:

"...I already have a family, so go back for me."

"It's impossible to marry a wife." The young man said, "My lord, you can take a concubine. Could it be that the one in your family is really... jealous?"

He was really curious.

These days, everyone said that Mr. Gu had a family, but they all kept silent, which family's lady it was, even if he said he might not know him...

But every time he showed such a subtle expression, he became more and more curious.

Gu Yuan pursed his lips.

"You just go back for me." He said softly.

"Okay, then I'll continue serving porridge for them."

The young man pursed his lips, and when he had had enough rest, he got up and left the tent.

Inside the tent, Gu Yuan withdrew his gaze, but couldn't bear to look any further.

he already……

He hadn't seen He Liansheng for a long time since they broke up that day.

At first it was He Liansheng who didn't want to see him, and later, he entered the palace to accompany Duguya.

He wanted to let the other party calm down, so he didn't bother him.

When Dugu Ya's order to restore the position of noble concubine came down, he relaxed a little.

At least……

The matter of Beiyin has been resolved, and He Liansheng will no longer be under house arrest.

But at this time, there was a flood in Nanqiang.

He didn't even have time to inform Gu Fu, so he followed Tang Shilang and his party to Nanqiang overnight.

This stay lasted for several months.

The sky is high and the emperor is far away, and it is busy, so it is easy for people to ignore the passage of time.

When the news of the turmoil in the capital came, he suddenly realized that it had been so long.

And these days...

He would think of He Liansheng every day.

When he was by the Nanqiang River during the day, he thought of He Liansheng's coquettishness and was a little afraid of the water. If he was here, he would definitely pull his sleeves and act coquettishly.

When serving porridge, he saw the longevity lock on the child, and he would think of the silver bell tied around He Liansheng's ankle.

The silver bell was engraved with patterns that he couldn't understand, and it would make a crisp sound when he walked.

It matches Helian Sheng very well.

like him...

A flamboyant personality.

and also……

midnight.

When He Liansheng followed him all the time before, he always felt irritable, but when the other party was no longer by his side, he suddenly began to feel that the silence of the night was almost unbearable for him.

Today, Gu Yuan has to admit that he has long...

I don't hate He Liansheng so much anymore.

He knew that he was sorry for Gu Tingyue for thinking like this, but he couldn't go against his own heart.

... He was used to He Liansheng by his side.

He closed his eyes.

There are still a few days.

he said to himself.

In a few days, when the matter on Nanqiang's side is resolved, he will set off to return to Beijing.

then……

He will go to He Liansheng.

The other party may still be angry with him and doesn't want to see him, it doesn't matter, he can wait.

Although He Liansheng is headstrong, he is hard-spoken and soft-hearted. He knew that's how he was to him in the past.

He's going to tell him...

He is willing to forgive He Liansheng, as long as he doesn't do that again.

He was even willing, willing to try to...

love him.

then……

They can go south together and find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to live for a while.

He wanted to tell He Liansheng...

he will.

Gu Gou became affectionate, then... reward him with a dying wife (.
