I became my ex-husband's cat after rebirth

◎"It's... just make do with it."◎

On the day of arriving in the capital, it was a slightly gloomy weather.

Autumn has entered, and the temperature has also dropped. The past few days have been boring for a long time, and there was a heavy rain in the evening.

The rain was powerful and came suddenly. Fortunately, they had already reached the outskirts of the city, so they dispersed to avoid the rain.

He Liansheng was wearing a loose coir raincoat and a bamboo hat, which made his whole face a bit smaller.

He frowned and wiped the rainwater off his face with a handkerchief, then remembered something, and glanced at Gu Yuan who was beside him.

When it just started raining, Gu Yuan stuffed him into the coir raincoat at the first time, and he didn't even care about it. Now it looks like he's already half soaked.

He was silent for a moment, and his mood became worse.

"What can you do?" He pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "I haven't healed from my injuries."

After all, he hesitated for a moment, and pushed the person under the eaves, and stood outside.

Gu Yuan was startled for a moment, then his eyes moved, and he looked at the profile of the person in front of him.

Helian Sheng is always like this.

Although he said he hated and said he didn't forgive, but after he really crossed that hurdle, many things he did subconsciously made people feel so soft-hearted.

He didn't reject He Liansheng's kindness, and just stayed beside him silently, waiting until the rain stopped.

After the rain stopped, the army temporarily stationed outside the city, He Lianxiao and others sent He Liansheng to the post house first, and then entered the palace.

Before leaving, Gu Yuan looked at He Liansheng, frowned, and stopped.

"What's wrong?" He Liansheng raised his eyebrows.

"He can't stay here." Gu Yuan said suddenly, and the person facing him was He Lianxiao, "Is there any other hidden place for him to go?"

He Lianxiao was startled.

After a while, he hesitated and said, "What's the matter?"

Gu Yuan let out a breath.

He didn't know either.

...He just suddenly had a very strange premonition.

This premonition came from his understanding of He Lianjin.

During the days when they returned to Beijing, the capital seemed to be calm.The imperial court was full of joy for the victory of the war, among which there was no lack of praise for Wu Cen and He Lianxiao.

However, He Lianjin suppressed all the papers requesting a reward for the two of them.

He Lianjin didn't say much, she even had a pleasant face on the surface, but said that it would not be too late to award the reward after the two returned to Beijing.

The courtiers naturally had no objection, but this was too inconsistent with He Lianjin's style.

"If you want to pick a mistake, in the early stage, Liang Chu was forced to retreat steadily." Gu Yuan said, "Zhao Chungui returned to Beijing early, presumably to blame his uncle and His Highness for all the mistakes at this time. He shouldn't be silent."

Because, it is impossible for him to let He Lianxiao gain real power while gaining prestige.

Therefore, he will definitely use this matter to build momentum early so that he can naturally reduce the reward for He Lianxiao.

But He Lianjin did nothing.

"Unless..." Gu Yuan frowned.

"He has a better one." He Liansheng took his words and said calmly, "A reason that can directly bring you down."

Gu Yuan looked at him, and the moment their eyes met, both of them read the same thing from each other's eyes.

After a while, he whispered: "Go to my house?"

He has opened a mansion alone, and now he lives alone.

"No need." He Liansheng said, "I have somewhere to go."

He paused, then gave a name and asked Gu Yuan to find her.

Gu Yuan was taken aback for a moment: "Is this the maid of my house?"

He Liansheng smiled lazily at him: "Yes."

"Master Gu's eyesight is really not very good." He passed by Gu Yuan, patted him on the shoulder, leaned closer, and whispered in his ear, "If you were smarter, maybe I really couldn't leave, I just had to You've been 'hidden in the golden house'."

Chu Niaoyou came very quickly.

After four years, she has matured a lot.The rich businessman she married died suddenly two years ago, so she left the house.Now, I am helping out in a medicine shop.

And this medicine shop is also their contact point in the capital.

After hearing the whole story, she nodded: "Your Highness just stay with me, don't worry about safety."

He Liansheng blinked at Gu Yuan, like a cunning little fox.

Gu Yuan watched him go out with some helplessness, then called for a servant to give some instructions, followed He Lianxiao to find Wu Cen and Jing Chi, and they entered the palace together.

The journey went smoothly, and when they entered the palace, He Lianjin exchanged some pleasantries with them, neither too warm nor cold.After all, it was not a formal award, and the atmosphere was obviously much more casual.

Gu Yuan raised his head and saw the heavy shadows in his eyes.

After the greetings were over, He Lianjin suddenly spoke, leaving behind He Lianxiao and Gu Yuan.

"It's been a long time since I, my fifth brother, and Xing Zhou." He said with a smile, "You two, stay and catch up with me."

The two looked at each other and agreed.

The idlers retreated, and the eunuchs and maids closed the palace door.The afterglow of the setting sun was shut out, casting faint light and shadow on the ground through the window.

Gu Yuan lowered his eyes, and heard He Lianjin's more gentle voice.

"Come on." He said, "Fifth brother, go sailing and sit down."

For some reason, Gu Yuan thought of the He Lianjin that He Liansheng was talking about for no reason.

"The brighter he smiles at you, the worse your death will be." He shrugged. "A hypocrite, that's what it is. You have to hold back when you do black things, and it seems like it will kill him if you don't pretend."

He paused, "I am the only one in the whole palace who is not used to his stink, probably because of this, he hates me very much."

Actually not.

Gu Yuan thought.

because of the different levels of threat.

He Lianjin fears He Liansheng even more than He Lianxiao who holds military power. Even if some people cover themselves with gray dust, the inside is still emitting light.

The corner of his mouth curled up, and he sat down on the seat.

"It's been a few months." He Lianjin sighed, "You two have lost a lot."

"Especially Xingzhou." He looked at Gu Yuan with concern in his eyes, "How is your injury feeling better?"

Gu Yuan regained his senses.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern." He nodded, "It's all over now."

"That's good." He Lianjin said comfortingly, "When the news reached the capital, I was really worried when I heard it. Xingzhou, this time, you have done a great service for us Liang Chu."

...It's really worrying.

Gu Yuan chewed these four words in his heart and almost laughed.

"Your Majesty's words are serious." He said, "It's a matter of my duty."

The two chatted back and forth for a few times, and the atmosphere in the hall became more and more harmonious, but Gu Yuan didn't feel relaxed, instead, his heart became more and more heavy.

He noticed that He Lianjin was looking for a topic.

He Lianjin left him and He Lianxiao behind, but on the surface, he didn't know He Lianxiao very well.

There was only one reason why the two stayed at the same time, and that was that he suspected both of them at the same time.

As for now...

He raised his eyes and smiled: "Your Majesty, it's getting late. I see that Eunuch Zhao is outside, and he seems to be preparing a meal."

This is a tactful reminder.

He Lianjin was stunned.

"I was too busy talking, you see." He smiled, "I forgot that it's almost time for dinner."

"Forget it." He said, "Then..."

He looked at Gu Yuan and smiled kindly: "It's getting late, Xing Zhou, you and Fifth Brother, why don't you stay and have dinner with me?"

Gu Yuan paused.

He raised his eyes and saw He Lianxiao's stunned gaze.

While the maids and eunuchs were serving dinner, He Lianjin looked at Gu Yuan who was sitting down, and smiled.

"Rowing a boat." He said, "It's a bit deserted today. I recall the number one scholar banquet that day in your high school, it was really beautiful."

Gu Yuan smiled: "It's hard for Your Majesty to remember."

He Lianjin drank a cup of tea slowly.

"How can I not remember?" He said, "Fifth brother, you were not in Beijing at the time, but you didn't know. On the day when Xingzhou High School passed by on horseback in the capital, all the ladies from the aristocratic families on the street were looking at him at the window. Those are all people who admire him. It's a pity..."

He shook his head, didn't continue, and took a sip of his wine with a smile.

He Lianxiao frowned.

The smile on Gu Yuan's face faded, but he didn't speak.

He Lianjin looked at him with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Lan Yun just came to the palace to talk to the queen mother for a while this afternoon." He said slowly, "Xing Zhou, I wonder if you met her when you came?"

He smiled, "She told me personally that she admires you very much."

He Lianxiao glanced at Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan's expression remained unchanged, and he said, "Thank you Princess for your love."

"How can this be love." He Lianjin turned the wine glass in his hand, expressing a lot of meaning, "A man with a talent and a woman with a beautiful appearance is clearly a good match."

This time, Gu Yuan did not answer.

He just lowered his eyes and looked at the wine glass in front of him. Today, he still hasn't drunk a drop.

He didn't want to get drunk.

He didn't speak, and what He Lianjin said was obviously not a question.

If you can't make a mistake, you can only let the silence spread.

After a long time, the palace door suddenly opened slowly, and a person hurried in.

He Lianjin's chopsticks snapped.

He slowly raised his eyes, looked at Zhao Chungui who was approaching him, and then saw the slightly nervous expression on the other party's face.

Gu Yuan only moved his chopsticks when Zhao Chungui was whispering beside him.

"Why doesn't Your Highness eat it?" He whispered, "This egg custard is smooth and tender, and the craftsmanship is good."

He Lianxiao pursed her lips.

He didn't understand how Gu Yuan was still in the mood to eat.

"You eat." He said.

Gu Yuan smiled, and ate spoonful by spoonful.

When the bowl of egg custard bottomed out, Zhao Chungui stepped aside, leaving only He Lianjin with an ugly face who managed to maintain his expression.

Gu Yuan put down the bowl and chopsticks slowly.

"Your Majesty." He said, "I've run out of ministers."

He paused, "I am in such a difficult situation, the elders in the family are bound to be concerned about it, please Your Majesty allow me to retreat temporarily, and go back to see the elders."

He Lianjin looked at him and smiled slowly.

"It should." He said.

Gu Yuan got up and left the hall with He Lianxiao.

Once out of the palace gate, Gu Yuan quickened his pace.

He Lianxiao hurriedly followed him out, and opened his mouth while walking: "Today, he is..."

Gu Yuan stopped in his tracks.

He suddenly raised his head, looked at He Lianxiao, and smiled.

To be honest, they didn't know each other very well.The only intersection is He Liansheng.

But after getting along for a long time in the army, He Lianxiao and him couldn't help but have some comradeship.

In He Lianxiao's memory, Gu Yuan has always been gentle and refined, and he has never shown it like this...

Almost a strange look.

He hesitated and said, "Master Gu."

"Your Highness Fifth, don't be nervous." Gu Yuan smiled, "I just want to ask you a few questions."

He paused, "Today, His Highness should have noticed that the Holy One intends to force him to stay. At this moment, the Imperial Forest Army should have turned the post house upside down in order to find someone."

He Lianxiao suddenly raised his eyes.

Gu Yuan pulled the corners of his mouth: "If today, the Imperial Forest Army found His Highness the Seventh Highness in the posthouse, then there are all witnesses. You and I, together with His Highness, will be sent to the prison for treason. Your Highness , do you believe it or not?"

However, the Royal Forest Army did not find anyone.

No matter what, Gu Yuan and He Lianxiao are also heroes.He Lianjin needed a high-sounding reason.

Tonight, he failed.

He Lianxiao moved his lips: "I..."

"I believe it." He let out a breath and said.

Gu Yuan smiled: "Then believe it or not, this day is not far away."

Helian Xiao closed his eyes.

"What do you want to say?" He said, his face pale.

Gu Yuan paused.

"I don't want to say anything." He took a deep look at He Lianxiao, "I just want to ask, after knowing this, will His Highness hate His Highness the Seventh?"

"Of course not!" He Lianxiao blurted out.

Xiao Qi shouldn't have died at all.

Not to mention spending his whole life hiding in the Northern Yin, the capital is his home.

How could he blame him for hurting himself just because Xiao Qi went home.

Gu Yuan looked at him, and was rarely moved.

Then, he said slowly: "Then..."

"Your Highness clearly has done a lot of military exploits, and he was born and died for Liang Chu, yet he still has to be framed by such suspicion. Does Your Highness feel unwilling?"

He Lianxiao suddenly raised his eyes.

Before they even left the palace, the long official road was deserted. Behind Gu Yuan was a cold lonely moon, which was strangely desolate.

He moved his lips: "Gu Yuan, you are, you want to..."

There was finally a hint of shock in his eyes: "Aren't you always his?"

Gu Yuan looked at him and smiled.

"His Highness seems to have misunderstood the subject a little bit more." He said softly.

He Lianxiao took a deep breath of Qi and closed his eyes.

... Are you unwilling?

he thinks.

There should be.

He went to the border when he was eleven or twelve years old, and he didn't have a chance to live a life of luxury and clothing, but he felt lucky.

Intrigue is not his forte, and he has no intention of being in that high position.

If he can, he just wants to guard the border, be an ordinary general, and guard the water and soil of this side.

but……

His elder brother obviously didn't want to give him this chance.

He thought of his first wife. When she was under house arrest, she was in charge of all the affairs in the mansion. It was clear that she was once an untouchable young lady who was forced to learn how to live a life of hardship. Cooking, laundry, cleaning.

He thought of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers at the border, and many of them had light in their eyes.

Some of them died on the battlefield this time, and some were lucky enough to survive.

At that time, the imperial court was discussing peace talks with Sui Xi.

Is He Lianjin a tyrant?

Can't be called.

But he was by no means a good emperor.

If it wasn't for Liang Chu's declining trend in the past few years, Sui Xi wouldn't have found an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Occasionally, he would complain about his father, why did he hand over the country to such a person, but that's it, he never thought about another possibility.

and so……

Do you want this?

Willing to give up his ideal of defending his family and the country, willing to watch his wife and children suffer along with him, and innocent people to die in vain, willing to watch the Helian family's country gradually decline in his hands...

Do you want this?

Is there another possibility?

The moon was as bright as water, and his thoughts were almost in a trance. In the confusion, he heard a soft sigh.

"Master Chen Zhonghai, Master of the Cabinet." Gu Yuan said softly, "Your Highness Fifth, do you still remember him?"

He Lianxiao managed to separate his mind, thought for a while, and said hesitantly: "I remember."

"Old Chen is upright." He thought for a while, "He has a high reputation in the court, but I heard that he fell ill a few years ago and passed away."

"When he took the poison." Gu Yuan said lightly, "I was also there, and I gave him the medicine."

He Lianxiao suddenly raised his eyes and looked at him in disbelief.

Gu Yuan smiled.

"Are you surprised?" He said, "In these years, there have been many such things in the court. Why did you take poison? Because back then, when the court was full of civil and military affairs, he was the only one who stood up, pointed at the Holy Majesty's nose, and scolded him for killing his brothers and using vicious means. .”

He paused: "I tried to save him, but Mr. Chen refused."

He said slowly and word by word: "He said...he is a crippled body, whether he is dead or not is not that important anymore, I just hope that the younger generation will not be involved, and the prosperous world created by the late emperor should not be defeated by Helian In Jin's hand, let me pull it up no matter what."

"I pulled it." He looked at He Lianxiao and smiled, "I didn't pull it."

"I don't plan to pull it anymore." He said, "But I also don't want to disappoint Old Chen's entrustment. Your Highness, what do you think I should do?"

He Lianxiao pursed her lips tightly.

He didn't speak, Gu Yuan just looked at him like this, for a long time, He Lianxiao closed his eyes and clenched his palms tightly.

"...I want, how do I do it?" He said.

hoarse voice.

The expected answer.

Gu Yuan looked at him and smiled.

"You don't need to do anything." He sighed softly, "Your Highness, Liang Chu's elite soldiers are still waiting outside the city. They listen to your words, and that's enough."

When Gu Yuan stepped into the pharmacy, He Liansheng was playing with Chu Niaoyao identifying the medicinal materials.

The shop was already closed, and only a light was on in the lobby on the second floor. The two people sitting under the light were both outstanding in appearance.

Gu Yuan was silent for a moment, then stepped forward.

He Liansheng pushed the few small plates in front of him, proudly: "I won."

Liu curled up laughing.

"It's been a few years." She said, "Your Highness's memory is still so good. It's even more talented than me who has been here for a long time."

Helian Sheng smiled.

He laughed halfway, turned his head, saw Gu Yuan walking up, and withdrew his smile again.

He stood up lazily: "Yo."

"Isn't this Master Gu?" He said, "Why, is the wine in the palace good?"

This is because he came back late.

Gu Yuan thought.

He glanced at Chu Niaoyou, who knew what was going on, saluted and then withdrew.

Gu Yuan walked to the table and saw a variety of medicinal materials.

"Guess the name of the medicine?" he asked.

Then, he paused, "No drink."

Helenson paused.

"You don't even drink He Lianjin's wine." He glanced at Gu Yuan, "Aren't you afraid that he will chop you off if he gets angry?"

Before Gu Yuan could answer, he dragged out the tone: "Ah, I forgot."

"Master Gu is a big celebrity in front of the Holy One." He said with a smile, "Naturally, he is different from us grassroots. The Holy Majesty is reluctant to kill you, and it is too late to curry favor with you, isn't it?"

Gu Yuan originally wanted to ask him about the post house, but when he saw a note on the table, he knew that He Liansheng already knew about it.

It was tacit to each other that He Liansheng still had the energy to fight with him, so he knew that the other party was not frightened in any way.

He lowered his eyes and smiled helplessly: "Your Highness, are you jealous?"

He Liansheng immediately raised his eyes, like a cat whose tail has been stepped on.

"Why are you jealous?" He snorted coldly, "How could I be jealous of you? It's none of my business who you like to have dinner with."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, but Gu Yuan grabbed his sleeve.

He paused, and said fiercely: "What are you doing?"

"He Lianjin and I." Gu Yuan said, "We are monarchs and ministers from beginning to end. If you have to say, I want to kill him. Now he probably wants to kill me too."

He Liansheng looked at him, sour.

"It sounds like this." He said, "You two are quite a match."

His wrist was pulled violently, and he was pulled close to Gu Yuan.

While breathing, He Liansheng suddenly forgot the words of the next sentence. He opened his mouth, his voice stuttering: "You, what are you doing. I haven't promised you yet."

Gu Yuan paused.

He was just helpless at first, and wanted He Liansheng not to say such things, but He Liansheng's words made his throat tighten for no reason.

"Your Majesty knows." He said softly, "Then Your Highness, have you performed well these days?"

He Liansheng choked.

After a while, he rolled his eyes and said softly, "It's... let's make do."

It's not that he's worthless.

...was that he really couldn't find anything wrong.

Gu Yuan took a deep breath.

"...You let me go first." He Liansheng was really uncomfortable being stared at by him, all the arrogance just disappeared, and only a trace of panic remained, "I, I will give you an answer tomorrow, okay?"

One day can be delayed.

His Highness the Seventh Prince is in his early twenties this year, but he seems to be back in his eighteenth year.

Facing the sweetheart, the other party just looked at him intently, and his ears would turn red.

He turned his eyes hastily, thinking that Gu Yuan would let him go after saying this sentence, but he couldn't move his hand.

Holding the back of his neck with one hand, he raised his eyes and bumped into a pair of bottomless eyes.

"Okay." Gu Yuan said, his voice hoarse, "Then... can I advance part of the answer?"

……what.

What advance?

He Liansheng was still a little confused.

In the next second, his vision suddenly went dark, and Gu Yuan held his waist with his other hand, moved him in front of him, and kissed him down.

The author says:

Maybe two or three more chapters...?
