One hundred and three
After leaving the Marquis' Mansion, Gu Shixing entered the Imperial Palace to look for the Crown Prince.
Seeking the prince's help is the most convenient way to find out whether there is Zhao Yong in the imperial guards.
Within an hour, it was discovered that there was indeed a man named Zhao Yong in the imperial guards.
Zhao Yong is currently the deputy lieutenant of the infantry, and he does have a scar on the back of his neck, but the shape of the scar has not yet been verified.
I walked to the top of the pavilion with the prince and looked in the direction of Zhao Yong.
Just at this moment, Gu Shixing suddenly had a sense of déjà vu.
Without anyone pointing it out, his eyes fell accurately on a guard in the distance below.
The guard beside the prince pointed out: "That is the infantry captain Zhao Yong."
Gu Shixing narrowed his eyes slightly. For a moment, he seemed to have experienced such a scene before. However, when he thought about it carefully, he had no memory of it. So where did this sense of déjà vu come from?
"What do you want to do with this person, cousin?" asked the prince.
Hearing this, Gu Shixing was in a trance for a moment.
Why did he feel that the prince seemed to have asked the same question, and he also had an answer. He replied - this man had plotted against him.
"Cousin?" the prince called out suspiciously.
Suddenly, another shout brought Gu Shixing back to his senses from his bizarre memories.
Gu Shixing came back to his senses, looked at the prince, and said, "There is a case involving this person, but now is not the time to alert the enemy. I'm troubling you, Your Highness."
The prince smiled and said, "My cousin and I don't need to thank you."
As he said this, he turned to look at the deputy captain named Zhao Yong, and his smile faded: "Cousin, please rest assured. As long as this man is still in the palace, he will not have a chance to escape."
Gu Shixing also followed the prince's gaze and became even more confused about the fact that his wife knew about Zhao Yong.
It was not yet noon when I came out of the palace.
Gu Shixing asked Mo Tai to find Bei Yan and then asked Su Changqing to meet him at a restaurant.
When Su Changqing came to keep the appointment, Gu Shixing was already sitting in the private room.
After entering the private room, Su Changqing said, "It's been a long time since we last met. Why did you suddenly think of asking me out?"
Because the marriage between the two families was not glorious a few years ago, both families had some resentment in their hearts, and their overt interactions became less and less, and their relationship was not as good as before the marriage.
Gu Shixing poured another cup of tea and pushed it in front of Su Changqing when he lifted his robe and sat down.
He said calmly: "The food will be served soon. Before that, I would like to ask for your help."
Su Changqing was about to drink tea, but when he heard what he said, he first put down the tea he poured, then pushed it aside, and teased: "Why is it so difficult to drink a cup of tea you poured?"
She raised her eyes to look at him and said, "Tell me, what's the matter that you specially asked me out for a date?"
Gu Shixing: "I would like you to help investigate someone."
Su Changqing was surprised and said, "You are the Junior Official of the Dali Temple. It is much easier for you to investigate someone than for me, who is on duty at the Honglu Temple, right?"
"It's someone from the Su Mansion."
Hearing that this person was from the Su Mansion, Su Changqing's face became serious, frowned slightly, and asked, "Who?"
"A kitchen helper named Liu Wuniang, about thirty years old. When checking, be careful not to alert the enemy."
"What's wrong with this guy?"
It was naturally impossible for Su Changqing to remember all the servants in the house clearly, so he had to go back and ask the manager.
After all, what his wife said has not been confirmed, so Gu Shixing would not say it easily.
"I will explain it to you after I find out the truth. I can't tell you now."
Su Changqing didn't force it. He nodded, took a breath, and asked, "Is Sixth Sister doing well?"
Gu Shixing was silent for a moment.
Su Changqing seemed to understand something when he saw him like this, and asked with a frown, "Sixth sister is sick?"
Gu Shixing nodded slightly, and then said: "I went to see Doctor Fu today. He said that I was under too much pressure and my temperament became a little unpredictable."
After hearing his words, Su Changqing was silent for a long time.
After a long time, he said earnestly: "Shi Xing, you have always been cold and aloof. I don't ask you to treat Sixth Sister well, and I don't care what happened in the past, but you are husband and wife after all, so please treat her well."
He stood up, sighed, and said, "I'll help you check the people. I won't drink tea or eat. You just need to treat Sixth Sister well."
Gu Shixing didn't keep him and stood up to see him off.
*
Doctor Fu came today, and Su Yun had an excuse for feeling unwell, so she didn't have to leave the room.
Gu Shixing came back around dusk.
Su Yun was waiting for him to have dinner together. The food on the table was cold, so Su Yun asked someone to heat it up again.
The two of them would dine together on weekdays, but they didn't communicate with each other.
But today, Su Yun put some food into Gu Shixing's bowl several times.
Gu Shixing looked at the food in the bowl, thought for a moment, and said "Thank you."
His attitude was very polite.
Su Yun raised her eyes to look at him, then placed the bowl in his direction, her meaning was obvious.
Gu Shixing remained silent for a few moments, then picked up a piece of food and put it into her bowl.
Su Yun smiled and said "thank you" softly.
The interaction between the couple was seen by the servants who were waiting on the side. They looked at each other and said they didn't know what was wrong with their masters today.
They had been serving for several years, but had never seen the couple talking at the dinner table, let alone picking food for each other!
Moreover, there was a faint smile on the lady's face. Could it be that they had seen it wrong?
Otherwise, how could a couple who had been cold to each other for four years have the illusion of being "in love"?
After dinner, Gu Shixing went to the study.
After Su Yun walked around the yard, he went to take a bath.
After coming back from the bath, she picked up the account book of her whole life and looked at it in the house.
At about 11:00 p.m., the door was pushed open and it was Gu Shixing who came back.
Su Yun didn't look up either.
Gu Shixing glanced at her before walking in and closing the door.
He walked up from behind her and sat down on the couch with a serious expression.
He picked up the travel notes beside him and started reading. After an unknown amount of time, he raised his eyes from the notebook and looked towards the round table.
However, I didn't expect to meet those bright almond eyes.
Su Yun held her chin and smiled at Gu Shixing.
In just a moment, Gu Shixing subconsciously withdrew his gaze and returned his eyes to the book.
The hand holding the scroll also loosened its strength slightly.
What kind of pressure could make a person change so much in just one day, and even become a little...improper?
While thinking, Su Yun had already stood up, glanced at Gu Shixing who was pretending to be serious, and shook his head helplessly.
He stretched his body, then walked into the inner room and got on the couch.
He told her that he went to bed later than her because she couldn't relax knowing he was in bed with her at the same time.
About half an hour later, when Su Yun was almost asleep, Gu Shixing put down the book and walked into the inner room.
He stopped outside the bed, took off his outer robe, and then climbed onto the bed quietly.
No matter how light the movement was, Su Yun could feel it.
During the dozens of days and nights he was in a coma, she was greedy for his body temperature and his breath, so she would always lie on top of him, and now it has become a habit.
Just as he lay down and covered himself with his own thin quilt, the person inside him suddenly turned around and put his arms around his waist.
Gu Shixing's body stiffened, and his voice was slightly lowered: "You didn't sleep?"
Su Yun opened her eyes, met his gaze, then half-raised herself, and the next moment, her upper body rested on his chest.
Gu Shixing: ...
The two were silent for a long time. Gu Shixing gradually relaxed his body, but did not push her away.
After a long time, he finally grasped her waist, just like the "tacit understanding" they had had for so many years, and pulled the belt around her waist, and asked in a low voice: "Are you sure you want to do it tonight?"
Su Yun was stunned for a moment after hearing what he said before she realized what he meant. She felt the belt around her waist had been pulled up by him.
Su Yun suddenly remembered that he didn't remember anything after his rebirth, so wouldn't that mean he was...
Thinking of those years of married life that were too painful to recall, Su Yun's body suddenly stiffened.
"No." She answered without any hesitation.
These two words directly made Gu Shixing's heart stagnate. If she didn't do it, then what was the purpose of her actions now?
She never liked to be close to him, but today was a complete contrast, which really puzzled him.
After staying in this position for a long time, he said, "It's late, it's time to rest..."
Before she finished her words, she rubbed her body against his chest slightly, and her body, which had finally relaxed, tensed up again in an instant.
Su Yun's body was very soft and had a faint floral scent, which lingered in Gu Shixing's nostrils from time to time.
In July and August, the weather is not too hot after nightfall, but it still makes people feel inexplicably hot.
Gu Shixing frowned slightly, with confusion in his eyes - he was not a lustful person, so how could this happen?
He looked down and saw that the person lying on his chest had his eyes closed and was breathing shallowly, obviously asleep.
He stretched out his hand and placed it on her shoulder, trying to gently move her away from his arms, but as soon as he moved slightly, the person in his arms suddenly hugged him tighter, and even put her legs on him...
……
For some reason, he subconsciously stopped all movements and did not move her again.
I closed my eyes, but I couldn't fall asleep for a long time.
The night was deep and everything was quiet. I gradually felt sleepy.
As soon as he fell asleep, his wife lying on his chest appeared in his dreams.
-
In the dream, there was a small courtyard with one or two crabapple trees outside the courtyard. A cool breeze blew and the crabapple flowers fell to the ground.
In the dark courtyard, he was talking to his wife.
Ah Yun looked a little excited, vaguely telling something. He frowned and walked closer, then he heard her excitedly say -
"You always think that I didn't agree to marry you because of my little mother's matter, and because I was misunderstood by you and everyone else, and I felt wronged! But you don't know anything at all, you don't know how tired I am. You also don't know how, how... how bad you are in that sex!"
"You have no idea how uncomfortable I felt when I did that with you!"
Every word was like a blade, piercing into Gu Shixing's ears.
At this moment, Gu Shixing suddenly opened his eyes, stared at the ceiling of the tent for a moment, then looked down at his wife who was still lying on him, and then he realized that he had just dreamed.
But a moment later, he felt as if he had experienced the scene in the dream, and her angry expression still appeared before his eyes, and even the accusatory words seemed to linger in his ears.
Every word and sentence is extremely clear.
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then opened his eyes, looking at the ceiling of the tent with a bit more thoughtfulness.
Not only did she become incredible, but he also seemed a little strange.
After thinking for a long time without any answer, I thought back to the dream I just had.
In the dream, were the words she said true?
——Is he really that terrible when it comes to sex?
In the second half of the night, Gu Shixing really didn't feel sleepy at all.
Perhaps because Gu Shixing was out of danger, Su Yun felt more relieved and slept much better. When she woke up the next day, she felt more energetic than the day before.
She was in better spirits, but she noticed that Gu Shixing, who was getting dressed, looked a little tired, and even had a hint of blue under his eyes.
Su Yun thought for a moment and asked, "Husband, did you not sleep well last night?"
It can’t be her...reason, right?
Gu Shixing's face was expressionless, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
He just shook his head: "I slept well."
Su Yun glanced at the faint blue color under his eyes, but didn't say anything.
They have to go back to the Su Mansion today.
Su Yun felt even more depressed when he thought about seeing his mother again in this life, so he didn't think about why he couldn't sleep well.
