After the eldest daughter was reborn, she became a crazy output

midnight

The crowd gradually dispersed. Cheng Cheng and the others chose to stay overnight at the Marquis' Mansion.

Shen Zhuo was also sent back to the attic by Gu Jue.

Seeing Shen Zhuo putting on the chains again and falling asleep unable to hide his exhaustion, Gu Jue left with peace of mind.

After leaving the attic, Gu Jue did not return to his room, but went to the roof of the attic.

On the roof, Lanxing was already waiting there, with many cans of liquor beside him.

Sitting on the roof, Gu Jue picked up the wine can and took a big sip, "Good wine."

Lan Xing also took a sip and explained casually, "This is the wine from your house. I asked Ayi for it."

Gu Jue nodded and sighed, "It's been a long time since I had such good wine!" It's also been a long time since I felt so happy.

The two chatted on the rooftop, enjoying the cool breeze and strong liquor.

until

"Ashi and the others have changed a lot."

Gu Jue was stunned for a moment, then replied, "Yeah. Have you gone to see the attic at the back?"

"Yes." Lan Xing turned to look at Gu Jue, "It is well built. Both attics are very good, and every aspect is perfect. There are no flaws."

Gu Jue did not respond to Lanxing's praise and continued drinking the wine in his hand.

The wine cans were soon emptied and replaced. There were already several empty wine cans around the two men, but they seemed completely unaware.

"He is the prince of King Xiang, a prodigy that all the noble families of Dayan are paying attention to. Do you plan to keep him locked up like this?" Suddenly, Lanxing's hoarse voice came from beside him.

Gu Jue paused for a moment, raised his head, took a sip of wine, and slowly laughed.

"Aren't you going to ask me why? Aren't you going to scold me?"

Lan Xing frowned, looked at Gu Jue's obviously hazy eyes, and sighed softly.

"Linglong, he is not suitable for you. His whole life is destined to be devoted to the court, and destined to be devoted to the people of the world without reservation. He cannot give you what you want."

Looking at Gu Jue who kept drinking, Lan Xing hardened his heart and said, "Linglong, let go as soon as possible and withdraw in time. It will be good for both you and him."

"You can't lock him up forever. As long as there is a chance, he will definitely return to his own world. You two are not from the same world."

Hearing this, Gu Jue suddenly stopped drinking and looked at Lan Xing with deep eyes.

"Before the palace banquet, Shen Zhuo will be assassinated on the way back to Beijing and disappear. He can belong to me forever."

Lanxing was shocked, "Linglong!"

"No, absolutely not! The imperial city will be in chaos then." He understood what Gu Jue meant, and it was because he understood it that he felt horrified.

Hearing this, Gu Jue just raised his head and took a sip of wine, then looked at Lan Xing. A brilliant smile slowly blossomed on his face, proud and wanton: "So what?"

"Linglong," this was the first time that Lanxing was deeply certain that Gu Jue had changed!

He had felt it before, but it was not obvious. Until this moment, looking at Gu Jue who was so confident and unrestrained, yet gloomy, Lan Xing's heart suddenly ached.

Lanxing didn't speak for a long time.

It was not until dawn, when the two were about to go back, that Lan Xing called out to Gu Jue, "Linglong, think twice before you act."

After that, he paused for a moment before adding,

"We are always here." So don't be afraid, don't be lonely, and don't be like this.

Gu Jue understood what was left unsaid. He looked at Lan Xing with hazy eyes and chuckled, "I've always known."

In the few days after the winter solstice, Gu Jue was in a very good mood.

Since the wintersweets bloomed two days ago, Shen Zhuo did not refuse the plum branch she gave him, and even took the initiative to talk to her.

It was rare to see Shen Zhuo like plum branches so much, his love was beyond words. Gu Jue was also very happy, and he personally picked beautiful plum branches for Shen Zhuo every day.

Today, Gu Jue once again gave Shen Zhuo a branch of plum blossoms in full bloom.

Gradually, the whole room was filled with the refreshing fragrance of plum blossoms.

The scent of cold plum blossoms in winter always gives people a light, fresh and comfortable feeling.

So when Shen Zhuo unconsciously said, "It would be nice to see clusters of plum blossoms," Gu Jue's first reaction was to look for the place where there were clusters of plum blossoms in his mind.

He had already found the place in his mind, but Gu Jue didn't want to take Shen Zhuo out.

Looking at Shen Zhuo looking out the window with envy in his eyes, Gu Jue's heart moved.
