fall in love with one arrow

It was already autumn when the group rushed back to the capital.

Lin Yunzhi received the urgent report from the concierge at home, and quickly returned to Anguo Gongfu, reporting to Liang Jingsheng what he had gained during his trip to Yunzhou, and then handed it over to Gu Xian for handling.

As soon as he stepped into the gate of Duke An's Mansion, Lin Yunzhi was immediately welcomed into the hall.The subtle expressions of the servants who saluted him along the way made Lin Yunzhi suspicious.

There are two people sitting in the main seat in the center of the hall, talking and laughing happily.Lin Yunzhi squinted his eyes, quickly glanced at Princess Yiyi who was dressed in fine clothes on the right, and turned to Lin Xiaoquan to salute.

"My lord, you are back!"

Not caring about the seeming indifference, Princess Yiyi got up, dragged her long skirt and walked in front of Lin Yunzhi, looking at him with a smile.

"What's the reason for His Royal Highness's visit?" Lin Yunzhi calmly distanced himself.

Princess Yiyi paused, and said, "You will know soon." A slight sneer flashed at the corner of his mouth.

"Give a marriage!?"

Seeing Liang Jingsheng raised his eyebrows lightly, realizing his gaffe just now, Gu Xian closed his mouth tightly and lowered his head slightly.

"It's... what's going on?" Gu Xian tried his best to make his voice sound the same as usual.

"It was Yu Yi who personally went to ask the Queen Mother, saying that she was happy with Yun, and she would not marry unless he was the only one, so the Queen Mother came to tell me. You know that the Queen Mother loves You Yi very much, and she almost obeyed her words. Even though she was seriously ill, her Marriage has always been the empress dowager's heart." Liang Jingsheng got up and paced slowly in Yongxin Hall, his tone revealing a bit of helplessness, "It's just that it was decided like this without discussing with Yun. will blame me."

"Your Majesty Lin has always been a person who understands the overall situation and understands things well. He won't blame His Majesty. What's more, His Highness the Princess is of a noble family, and marrying the Prince of Anguo is a match made in heaven..." Gu Xian couldn't continue, he didn't Knowing what position he stands in to speak for the two, just treat him as a courtier and help the emperor solve problems.

But who will solve the worries in Gu Xian's heart.

Liang Jingsheng was silent for a moment, and said: "The imperial decree should have arrived at this moment."

Gu Xian raised his eyes and looked out the window, the sky was gray, and occasionally a lone goose flew by, honking twice, and then disappeared.

"The imperial decree has arrived—" a sharp voice came from outside the hall, "Princess Suyi and Duke Ang's son Lin Yunzhi are invited to come out to receive the imperial edict—"

Princess Yiyi walked two steps quickly, trying to pull Lin Yunzhi, but was dodged.Pursing her lower lip, she finally just smiled and left the hall first.

Lin Yunzhi stayed where he was, his handsome face, which had never shown any signs of happiness or anger, was full of surprise.He can't think of much about what it means to lead the decree with Princess Yiyi, but he doesn't want to think about the worst one.

"What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and go out to receive the order!"

Lin Xiaoquan's vigorous voice brought Lin Yunzhi back to reality.When he stepped out of the hall, the courtyard was full of people kneeling, and Eunuch Gao stood at the front with the imperial decree in his hand.Lin Yunzhi walked to the side of Princess Yiyi, hesitated for a moment, then knelt down.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said: My imperial sister, Princess Yiyi, is now in a weak crown, and it is suitable for marriage. I have accepted the order of the Empress Dowager, and I heard that the son of Anguo's mansion is dignified, of noble character, and has no family. The marriage of the princess can be said to be a match made in heaven. In order to make a beautiful woman, I hereby send Princess Yiyi down to the son of Duke Anguo. All the etiquette will be discussed by the minister of the Ministry of Rites and the supervisor of Qingtian. Announce the notice to the Chinese and foreign, and the salty envoys will hear about it. I respect this."

Princess Yiyi accepted the imperial decree with both hands, and thanked Long En.

"Yunzhi, hurry up and accept the order!" Lin Xiaoquan, who was kneeling beside him, reminded him.

Lin Yunzhi still lowered his head, motionless.

Seeing him like this, Eunuch Gao cleared his throat, raised his voice and said, "Please Mr. Lin to accept the order—"

Lin Yunzhi's fist on his knee was almost clenched with blood.

"My lord, if you don't accept the order, everyone will be embarrassed." Princess Yiyi turned her body slightly and said softly, "This is the Queen Mother's order, and even the emperor can't do anything about it. Besides..." lowered his voice a little bit , "Even if the son doesn't care about me or himself, doesn't he even care about Mr. Xiao?"

With a bang, Lin Yunzhi slammed his fist on the ground, and before everyone could recover, he used his hands.

"Sir, lead the order."

He raised his head, his handsome face was terribly gloomy.

A familiar face appeared in his mind, and a faint smile melted in the corner of that person's eyes.He should be in the palace at this moment, I don't know if he has learned about it.If he knew, how would he react, was it a blessing, didn't he care, or was he at a loss like himself?It turns out that the son of the world, who was well-clothed and well-fed and called the wind and rain since he was a child, would also have such powerless times.

Mo Ran hurried to Xiao Mansion and was taken into the study by Wang Feng.

Gu Xian was sitting at the table, studying ink for a while.

Mo Ran stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Gu Xian's eyes, but there was no response.After getting close for a few minutes, he shook again, and his hand was slapped away.

"Hiss...Brother Cheng Yu, is this ink you have researched to eat as sauce?" Mo Ran said, shaking his hands in pain.

"..." Gu Xian finally bowed his head, the black in the inkstone was so thick that it could hardly be melted away.

Just as Mo Ran was about to speak, Wang Feng ran in with a troubled expression.

"Master, Lin Shizi is here again, are you really not letting him in..."

Gu Xian shook his hands, some ink splashed on the paper: "Let's say Master Mo is here, it's not convenient for me to entertain guests."

Wang Feng hesitated for a moment, but trotted away.

Gu Xian casually crumpled the paper that had just been stained with ink, and threw it into the wastebasket next to him. He raised his eyes and met Mo Ran's playful eyes.

"Use me as a shield? Brother Cheng Yu, you owe me a meal."

"You come every day, ten meals are fine."

Mo Ran let out a chuckle: "If you play such a petty temper, maybe Lin Shizi will secretly have fun." After thinking about it, he added, "I still think you are cute."

Gu Xian had no expression on his face, and gave Mo Ran a slap in the eye, but obviously he used the wrong target.

Mo Ran didn't care, and continued: "I said, can't you be more honest? It's all over, what's so awkward."

"...It's a mess."

"Then why are you blushing?"

"..."

Seeing that the person in front of him was about to fall into his thoughts again, Mo Ran sighed and said, "Is that why you don't believe him?"

Gu Xian did not answer immediately.He picked up the inkstone again, only to find that the ink in the inkstone had already dried up.

Mo Ran thought that Gu Xian would not open his mouth anymore, and as soon as he thought of a new topic, he heard the man whisper: "It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, what has I to do with him." After a pause, the voice became softer, "I...it's really nothing, I just feel a little uncomfortable." The last sentence is like a cloud of smoke, almost inaudible.

Mo Ran wanted to deny it at first, but Gu Xian had a lonely look on his face, and he didn't know what to say.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the wedding between the prince and the princess.

The mighty welcoming team set off from An Guogong's mansion to the imperial palace, and almost circled the city before returning to An Guogong's mansion.

Gu Xian locked himself in the house, the doors and windows were closed tightly, and the sound of festive gongs and drums could still be faintly heard in his ears.

Probably because I care too much about it, I become sensitive.

Imagining Lin Yun's body riding a tall horse, dressed in happy clothes, the bright red color must make his face even more handsome.He took the hand extended by the princess, pulled it out of the sedan chair, and walked through the brazier together, worshiped the heaven and earth, worshiped his parents, looked at each other, promised his life, and then...

Gu Xian suddenly stretched out his hands and slapped his face hard.

Why do I have to brainstorm these things, it's really enough!

Gu Xian knew that if he didn't find something to do, his mind would be filled with the scene just now.So he quickly turned over and got out of bed, walked to the storage cabinet, opened the cabinet door, took out a few pieces of wood and a carving knife, and threw them all on the table with a clang.

With a bang, Princess Yiyi stepped on the brazier, and the maid who was nearby hurried forward to help her in shock.

Lin Yunzhi didn't even look at it, and walked over the threshold with his hands behind his back.

"Your Highness, Your Highness..." The servant girl carefully supported Princess Yiyi, and felt the person in her hand tremble slightly.

Under the red hijab, Princess Yiyi bit her lower lip tightly, her slender nails digging into her palm.

"It's okay." She steadied her voice and whispered.She doesn't care about these rituals, and she doesn't care whether everyone sincerely blesses her. She wants that person to belong to her, and only to herself.

When Princess Yiyi stumbled into the wedding hall, Lin Yunzhi was already waiting there.

Above the wedding hall, Liang Jingsheng and Wei Xianqing are on the left, and Lin Xiaoquan and the second wife of the Duke's Mansion Xiao are on the right.

When the two of them stood still, the bridesmaid handed over the silk flower.Princess Yiyi took one side, but Lin Yunzhi remained motionless.

"My lord, this..." The bridesmaid looked perplexed, and secretly glanced at Liang Jingsheng. Seeing that he was staring straight at him but didn't intend to speak, he sighed secretly, took back the silk flower, and sang loudly:

"Worship the heavens and the earth-"

The two turned to face the outside of the hall and bowed respectfully.

"Second worship high hall-"

Turning around again, Lin Yunzhi still had no expression on his face, and he bowed to the throne with Princess Yiyi.

Liang Jingsheng looked at Lin Yunzhi with an apologetic look in his eyes.Wei Xianqing on the side looked indifferent, with his eyes downcast, showing no emotion.Lin Xiaoquan, on the other hand, coughed lightly in embarrassment, as if it brought everyone back to their senses.

"Husband and wife greet each other—"

Finally... finally... Princess Yi Yi bowed down, her hands trembling, she didn't even care about Lin Yunzhi's unruly indifference, as long as this last bow was completed, he would be hers!

But for some reason, it took so long for the bridesmaid to sing the next line.

Princess Yiyi was covered with hi-gai, unable to see what was going on, and the long silence made her suddenly frightened.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps, someone ran into the hall quickly, and hurried out after a while.There was another sound of footsteps, but there was more than one person.

"My minister sees Your Majesty and Empress."

Princess Yiyi trembled all over.She was so familiar with this voice!But how come, isn't he already...! ?

In desperation, he lifted the cover, and the one standing between himself and Lin Yun was Fang Hao.

"You...you..." Princess Yiyi trembled her lips, unable to speak.

Fang Hao only squinted, then looked away.But just at this glance, the hatred seemed to be spurted out, which made Princess Yiyi's face turn pale, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.

Liang Jingsheng frowned, and said: "Fang Hao, it's inappropriate for you to enter the hall this time, but since the queen intercedes for you, I don't want to refute the queen's face, what's the matter, tell me quickly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for being open-minded. Since this is the case, I will speak directly. I object to this marriage."

As soon as Fang Hao's words came out, there were whispers in the hall, and Liang Jingsheng frowned a little deeper.

Fang Hao said: "The humble minister and the princess are in love with each other, and they are already close by skin. If she hadn't suddenly liked Lin Shizi and abandoned the minister, I'm afraid the two of us would have made a private decision for life long ago."

"You're talking nonsense!" Princess Yiyi screamed repeatedly regardless of her appearance.

Fang Hao ignored it, and continued: "The humble minister is a sixth-rank official, and the noble body of the princess should be more suitable for Lin Shizi. However, the feelings of the minister are treated as a trifling matter, and I am really unwilling."

"Fang Hao, you don't want to slander me!" Princess Yi Yi yelled at Fang Hao, then looked at Liang Jingsheng, "Brother Huang, don't listen to this madman's nonsense!"

"Does the princess still remember this thing?"

Fang Hao spread out his hands, holding a silver chain in his palm.

Princess Yiyi's face was pale beyond words.This silver chain had been hanging on her right ankle since she was a child, and she never took it off for a moment.It wasn't until more than half a year ago that it suddenly disappeared. They thought it had fallen somewhere, and they sent the palace staff to search the sky, but they couldn't find it. Fang Hao took it!

"If I hadn't been close to you, how could I have gotten it?" Fang Hao's mouth slowly curled up into a piercing smile.

Princess Yiyi's lips trembled, and then she turned to Lin Yunzhi, with an expression that seemed to be crying but also smiling: "Husband, don't listen to him, you understand my intentions, I really didn't—"

The person reflected in his pupils still stood with his hands behind his back, with a calm expression on his face, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

Lin Yunzhi's undisguised indifference made Princess Yi Yi lose his composure, and suddenly shouted like crazy: "Fang Hao, don't think I don't know, you are just using me when you approach me! To me, You are just a substitute, what kind of sympathy do you have, what qualifications do you have!?" After finishing speaking, he realized that he had been hit by a violent trick and actually revealed everything.

"enough!"

Liang Jingsheng roared in a low voice, the hall was suddenly silent, and a needle could be heard.

"Your Majesty, although the princess is still young and ignorant, she is a royal family after all. If outsiders find out about it, it will hurt the face of the royal family." Wei Xianqing said softly from the side.

"Queen, don't worry, I have my own measure."

Liang Jingsheng suppressed the anger in his heart, and said: "From now on, without my permission, Princess Yiyi is not allowed to step out of the palace. As for Fang Hao, he will be put in prison. It is a mistake."

"It's okay, it's okay, at least, you can't get what you ask for, it's more difficult than me! Hahahahahaha——" Fang Hao laughed like he lost his heart.Liang Jingsheng waved his hand and asked two guards to take him away.

It's over, it's over...

Princess Yiyi fell to the ground, completely lost.

Regardless of the chaos in the arena, Lin Yunzhi quickly changed into his wedding clothes and left in a hurry.

The door of the Xiao Mansion was closed.

Lin Yunzhi raised his hand, but put it down again after a while.

Gu Xian was still sitting under the window sill, with more than a dozen completed arrowheads strewn about on the table, holding a half-finished arrowhead in his hand, and was sharpening it with a carving knife.

The door was pushed open with a bang, Gu Xian suddenly turned his head, and a slender figure stood behind the light.

The two stared at each other closely, speechless.

I'm already terminally ill, do you think he's daydreaming?Gu Xian blinked his dry eyes and said to himself.

It wasn't until the man stepped into the door, stepped into the shadows, and his face gradually became clear, that Gu Xian realized that the person who should have been immersed in a good night's dream had actually appeared in front of him at this time.He stood up abruptly, forgetting that he was still holding a sharp weapon in his hand, and he was indifferent even if his fingers were cut.

"Why are you so careless!"

Lin Yunzhi walked in front of Gu Xian in two or three steps, grabbed the injured hand, but was pulled back.

Gu Xian became angry, without saying a word, he took a step to the side, passed Lin Yunzhi, and was about to leave.A strong force grabbed his arms and turned him around.

"Are you really going to piss me off! I don't see anyone for no reason, and I have to leave for no reason. Where are you going to run now?!" Lin Yunzhi waited straight for the person in front of him, as if he was about to burst into flames.

"I should be the one who should be angry, right?!" Gu Xian struggled, "Inexplicably entangled others, inexplicably retreated from the body, and finally inexplicably bridal with other people, what else do you want!" Shouting, spurning in his heart Why are you so nasty.

"I...I didn't!" Lin Yunzhi was stunned for a moment, and his voice eased, "I didn't have a bridal chamber with anyone else, and I didn't want to leave either."

Gu Xian turned his head away from looking at Lin Yunzhi, only to hear the man say again: "What am I talking about and what am I thinking, do you really not understand at all?"

Curling his lips, Gu Xian felt aggrieved: "I don't understand, what can you say directly—!"

Lin Yunzhi's face suddenly enlarged, and his normally stern eyes turned red with seriousness.Feeling the fine friction between his lips and teeth, and the entanglement of breathing, Gu Xian squinted his eyes halfway, thinking that this guy is really a good-looking foul.

Not too intense, but a long kiss.

Until Lin Yunzhi separated the two of them, he still held Gu Xian tightly with his hands, pressing his forehead against his: "Do you understand now?"

Gu Xian panted slightly, his eardrums clearly echoed the sound of his heart beating, his chest seemed to be about to explode.He could no longer hold back his inner emotions, slowly raised his hand, put it around Lin Yunzhi's fair neck, and pressed the man against him.
