I heard you want to let me down

After the banquet was over, Rong Jin and Gu Nian were talking, and from the corner of their eyes, they noticed that Rong Hui was looking at him with a calm expression and a smile on his lips.

Rong Jin understood Rong Hui's eyes, and tactfully pulled Gu Nian to stand up, took the initiative to walk to Rong Hui's side, and introduced, "A Nian, this is my elder brother."

When Gu Nian pulled him to Rong Hui's side, his heart trembled, and he tried hard to recall his attitude when he faced the elders in Chen Country.In my impression, the well-behaved person is always more liked by the parents. His eyelashes droop, and his handsome face looks extraordinarily docile and harmless: "Brother Rong."

Rong Hui's attitude is very kind, since Rong Jin has chosen someone, then this is his younger sibling.Although his status is a bit special, he is still a family: "Just follow Ah Jin and call him big brother."

Gu Nian curled up her fingertips slightly, and said obediently, "Brother."

"Yeah." Knowing that Rong Jin was anxious to be alone with Gu Nian, Rong Hui didn't say any more, and gave Gu Nian the meeting gift he had prepared a long time ago: "If you have time, go to the house with Ah Jin."

Gu Nian continued: "Thank you, brother."

Seeing that Rong Hui had finished speaking, Rong Jin said as expected: "Brother, you go first, I will send Ah Nian back."

Rong Hui complained in his heart, it's not Jiao Didi's daughter's house, two young men in their [-]th and [-]th year, what do they look like when they are sent back and forth, but his face is gentle and generous: "Okay. Remember not to miss the time to leave the palace."

Anyway, everyone knew they were a couple, Rong Jin held Gu Nian's hand generously.They deliberately avoided the main road and chose places with few people.The closer you get to Gu Nian's residence, the more desolate the road becomes. Halfway through, there are no other figures in front or behind, only the two of them and the bright moon in the sky are left.

The surroundings are very quiet, only the footsteps of the two people, and the occasional "squeaky" insects.Gu Nian wrapped Rong Jin's hand in his palm.The young people practicing martial arts are full of firepower, Rong Jin's hands are very warm, and the warmth has been transmitted from Gu Nian's fingertips to Gu Nian's heart.

Rong Jin felt a little sorry.The eldest brother only mentioned that he wanted to see Gu Nian when he was at the banquet, and later Rong Jin and Gu Nian sat together and didn't think about it, so he couldn't tell Gu Nian in advance: "Brother wants to see you today, I should have told you in advance Yes. Don't be angry, Ah Nian."

Gu Nian held Rong Jin's hand even tighter, shook his head lightly, and said, "Brother is very kind."

There is no family that would like their son to hang out with men, not to mention his status is so troublesome, Rong Jin used to have many confidants.Rong Jin said that he would take him back to the Rong family. Gu Nian was overjoyed by Rong Jin's promise, but his attitude towards the Rong family was not very optimistic.He once thought that the Rong family might treat him coldly, or even simply shut him out, or call someone to warn him, and tell him not to wishful thinking.

Thinking about it in his own shoes, he felt that this was the right thing to do, and it was the most normal and normal reaction of every wealthy family to such a thing.

However, the first Rong family he really came into contact with, the eldest son of Rong Youqing, the heir of the Rong family, Rong Hui who was able to fully express the position of the entire Rong family, treated him so kindly and close.

He originally thought that for Ah Jin, he would go through mountains of swords and seas of fire and thorns everywhere.But when he turned the corner, he suddenly found that all the thorns on the road had been leveled by his sweetheart.Rong Jin didn't want him to suffer.

This is Rong Jin's most precious wish for him.

Rong Jin shook the hands they held, as if he could feel the uneasiness in his heart, and said with a smile, "Everyone in my family is very kind."

The two walked side by side, Rong Jin and Gu Nian talked about some interesting things about the Rong family.Gu Nian listened silently, occasionally asking a few questions about everyone's temperament and preferences.

After a while, the small courtyard where Gu Nian was located appeared at the other end of the road.

Why is this distance so short?Gu Nianming knew that it was time to let Rong Jin go, but he still couldn't help but keep him, and came up with an excuse: "Ah Jin didn't eat much at the banquet, I prepared dumplings in my yard, would Ajin come in and eat some?"

Rong Jin also wanted to stay with Gu Nian for a while longer, but he knew it was getting late, if the palace was locked and he was locked inside the palace, it would be a lot of fun, so he shook his head cruelly: "No. I'll wait a few days Today, I will enter the palace to pay my respects, and I will come to see Anian when the time comes."

After hearing this, Gu Nian didn't say anything to keep him.

Rong Jin kept sending Gu Nian to the gate of the courtyard: "Then I'm leaving?"

Gu Nian nodded, but didn't let go of his hand.Rong Jin knew what Gu Nian meant, but looked at him with raised eyebrows and a smile, pretending to be puzzled: "Why doesn't Ah Nian let go?"

Gu Nian has long been used to Rong Jin teasing him like this, not as stupid as she was at the beginning, she just hugged Rong Jin in her arms and kissed him.

Rong Jin playfully avoided him: "In broad daylight, the sky is clear, doesn't Mr. Gu think it's insulting to the gentlemen?"

Gu Nian put her lips behind Rong Jin's ear, and said vaguely, "There is no broad daylight."

Rong Jin suppressed a smile: "Then there is also a bright moon in the sky."

Before the words were finished, coincidentally, a thick cloud floated over, just covering the bright moon.

Qinghui was completely blocked by the clouds, and his vision darkened abruptly. Rong Jin couldn't see Gu Nian's expression clearly. Before his lips were blocked, he only heard a gentle and eager sentence - "There is no Langyue now."

……

Gu Nian stood in front of the courtyard gate, watching the energetic young man trot away.Occasionally, Rong Jin would turn his head and wave his hands at him, urging him to go back.Gu Nian didn't move, until Rong Jin's figure completely disappeared from sight, then turned and pushed the closed courtyard door.

Liu Yi stood in the courtyard, Gu Nian opened the door and saw him immediately.When Gu Nian went to the palace banquet, Liu Yi naturally followed, but he sat in the subordinate's seat below.After the banquet, seeing Rong Jin and Gu Nian returning hand in hand, he wisely came back first.

He originally heard Gu Nian's voice and wanted to come out to open the door for Gu Nian, but just as he walked into the courtyard and heard the conversation between the two, he stopped in his tracks.Liu Yi knew that Rong Jin had good hearing, so he didn't move, and just stood in the courtyard for a while.

Liu Yi must have heard the conversation between him and Rong Jin, Gu Nian felt a little embarrassed, and just didn't know what to say, Liu Yi said in a low voice: "Your Highness, after New Year's Eve, I will go and throw the beads into the river for His Highness."

According to the custom of Chen Kingdom, a few days before the new year, copper plates, jade beads and other common small things in daily life should be threaded with colored silk threads and made to hang around the waist. Drop it, or throw it into the river, hoping to take away all the bad things this year, so that the new year will be smooth and free from evil.When in Chen country, these little things were made by the queen mother herself, but in Shao country, it was Liu Yi who did these things.

Gu Nian took off the string of miscellaneous ornaments from his waist, stroked it, removed the copper plate from it, and handed the string to Liu Yi.

Liu Yi didn't answer: "Your Highness, where are the copper coins?"

Gu Nian put the copper plate into his hand and said calmly, "Keep this."

Liu Yi took the string without saying a word, walked towards the door, took two steps, stopped, took a deep breath, and asked Gu Nian: "Your Highness, do you still want to go back?"

Gu Nian was caught off guard by this question, his face paled for a moment.

Gu Nian didn't speak, Liu Yi's heart was more than half cold.He gave a wry smile, didn't speak any more, and strode out of the courtyard with the string in his hand.Not far from their place, there is a moat passing by.

In Shao's palace, one must be cautious at every step.This string was woven by Liu Yi, and the copper plates, jade rings, Buddhist beads, and silk threads selected on it are all the most common things that can be found everywhere on the street.If it hadn't been necessary to throw it away at the beginning of the new year, Liu Yi probably would choose to take it out of the palace and throw it away.Liu Yi disassembled the string, and planned to take the silk thread back and burn it, and threw the bits and pieces into the turbulent moat.

Throwing something into the river sank to the bottom with a soft sound.After throwing things away, Liu Yi returned to the courtyard, Gu Nian was still standing there.

"go back."

Liu Yi closed the courtyard door, Gu Nian said, "I never thought about not going back."

I like him, I really, really like him, for him, I might even die.But I never thought about not going back.

Because it's not just about him.He is willing to give up all his ambitions for Rong Jin, and stay in Shao Country to be an idler, but what about others?Liu Yi gave up the dignity of a family member and insisted on following him, almost causing him to be expelled from his family, not to mention how much he suffered along the way; There are many people; and the queen mother is still waiting for him in Beijing, forbearance and planning in the daytime, gritting her teeth and weeping in her dreams, it is said that she has given birth to beautiful hair.

He has to go back.Either go back and fight, or die on the way back.

Gu Nian and Liu Yi entered the room and lit the lamp.Liu Yi said in a low voice: "Then why did Your Highness ask Uncle Feng to stop the previous arrangements?"

Uncle Feng was an illegitimate son of Gu Nian's grandfather who was living away from home. He was only found when he was ten years old. Although he was not included in the Feng family's genealogy, he had actually been raised in the Feng family and secretly worked for the Feng family.When Gu Nian was exiled, on behalf of the Feng family, he secretly followed Gu Nian to Shao Country, where he has been operating for several years. He is Gu Nian's most trusted and strongest force in Shao Country.

"Let's go another way." Gu Nian said with a calm face, "The previous method was not safe. Don't forget, our purpose is not just to go back, I want to fight, how can we escape back like a bereaved dog? The emperor of the country ordered to take it back."

Gu Nian's reason was very legitimate and reasonable, but Liu Yi knew in his heart that he suddenly changed his plan because he was afraid of implicating Rong Jin.Gu Nian never thought that Rong Jin would present their relationship in such an open manner, almost publicizing the court, treating him as half of the Rong family.It would be fine if he was picked up by Chen Guo in a fair manner, but if he left secretly, Rong Jin would definitely be investigated.

Liu Yi's expression was complicated: "Does Your Highness have a plan?"

Gu Nian's voice was very soft: "A few days ago, my grandfather found a hermit who was very good at stargazing and deduction. Next October, there will be a lucky star passing by in the sky. If there is a mountain collapse, a stone tablet appears and other strange things , the DPRK and China will naturally look for unethical and unreasonable things.”

Liu Yi hit the nail on the head: "What if the warlock is not accurate?"

Gu Nian looked at the flames jumping up and down: "If the destiny does not come, then we have to replace it with human power."

What Liu Yi wanted to say: "Your Highness..."

Gu Nian interrupted him: "A Yi, don't force me."

"I can't give him anything, but at least I can't hurt him."

Liu Yi also felt sorry for him.That's all.Although the risk is a bit higher, if you can be taken back in a legitimate way, it is naturally much better than going back without authorization.No matter what the original intention was, at least Gu Nian was still clear-headed.

Seeing that Gu Nian stopped talking, Liu Yi stood up and left.He knew that he had crossed the threshold tonight, but he still couldn't help but said with compassion: "Your Highness, we will go back after all."

Gu Nian didn't respond.

Liu Yi closed the door and left.Gu Nian sat in silence for a while, then lowered his head, glanced at the copper plate in his hand, and suddenly smiled with self-loathing: "I'm really sorry, no one is sorry."

I'm sorry for Liu Yi's following; I'm sorry for the loyalty of my subordinates; I'm sorry for the expectations of my grandfather and queen mother.

I'm also sorry, Rong Jin's sincerity.

"It's downright selfish."

If he doesn't leave, what will the queen mother, grandfather, Liu Yi do? But if he leaves, Rong Jin will be sad.

"Ajin."

Gu Nian leaned on the table, tightly clutching the copper plate in his hand.

"It was my fault."

If he hadn't been greedy for the time with Rong Jin at the beginning, and then greedy for Rong Jin's love, he wouldn't have come to where he is today.Rong Jin's sincerity, something he dreamed of and treasured, why can't he cherish it now that it is in his hands.

"Knowing that I am not worthy, I shouldn't, I want to reach out for it. It's too greedy."
