He Shenghen

Gu Qing'an didn't know how she got back to the mansion.

The mess in his heart that hadn't been sorted out became more tightly entwined because of Yan Xiu's words, and he actually felt a little bit of sweetness from it.

This sweetness made him face up to his emotional home, while resisting, he wanted to absorb that warmth.

Although he didn't want to admit it, but seriously looking back at the details of his relationship with Yan Xiu in the past three years, he was actually very greedy for the days when he was by Yan Xiu's side.Even if it is the battle in the court hall over and over again, even if he knows that it is an abyss that swallows people's bones, he still wants to jump into it without hesitation.

He likes himself...

Every time this thought flashed in his mind, the sweetness became even more intense. The first taste of this sweetness made him eager to appear in front of Yan Xiu and tell him his heart even though he was imprisoned by the world.

Yes, he's gonna tell him, he's gonna let him know!

He rushed out the door recklessly, causing the guard at the door to yell anxiously: "My lord! My lord! Where are you going so late? You need me..."

The breeze outside the house cooled his feverish mind a bit, and he took a deep breath to calm down his restless heart.It's really inappropriate to interrupt so late, and Yan Xiu even felt that he was not reserved if he couldn't handle it well.After careful consideration, Gu Qing'an felt that since the distant problems had not yet been resolved, it would be better to deal with the near ones first.He raised his hand to call for the servant: "Master and Madam, please come to the lobby and say that I have something important to announce, don't forget to call Qingcheng."

"Son, what's the important announcement?"

Gu Qing'an looked at her father's serious face, then at her mother's loving eyes, and after a long silence, she made up her mind and said: "Father, mother, the child has a sweetheart."

The younger sister Gu Qingcheng's face was full of surprise: "Brother, brother, is sister-in-law beautiful?"

"Which family's girl? Why don't you take it back to the house sometime?" Mrs. Gu also had a smile on her face.

"The other party...the other party is a man."

The air was frozen, and time seemed to stand still at this moment forever.Gu Qing'an's heart beat "suddenly", and he looked at his father's face that suddenly changed color and became stiff with some anxiety. Even though he had already prepared for the storm, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart.

There was silence all around, Gu Qingcheng tried his best to cover his mouth that was about to scream, and watched his father's complexion turn from white to blue, and then to terrifying black with wide eyes.

"Bastard! How could you... How could you say such a thing!" Master Gu pointed at Gu Qing'an with trembling hands. He covered his heart with one hand, and his body trembled violently, obviously out of anger. "I don't care what happened between you, from now on, you must break with him completely, don't disgrace my Gu family!"

"Father! I told you that I respect you, but what you asked just now," he turned aside, "it's hard to obey."

"you--"

"Master, calm down, don't get too angry." Mrs. Gu rushed forward and gave her son a disapproving look.

Perhaps there was too much commotion, and the servants at home quietly gathered outside the lobby door, poking their heads, as if they wanted to know but didn't dare to know.Master Gu didn't pay attention when he was angry, but Gu Qing'an could clearly see that their twinkling eyes were filled with contempt for inferior species.

"I'll ask you one last time, are you going to fight him or not?!"

"I will answer you again for the last time, sorry!"

"You, you bastard..."

"Get out - I don't have a son like you!"

Gu Qing'an was kicked out of the Gu Mansion just like that, the gate of the Gu Mansion was closed tightly, wondering if it would be opened to him again in a while.

The Gu family has been an official for generations, and they pay attention to a person who can be upright, and what they care about is to establish a good prestige in the hearts of the people. Face is of course extremely important.Mr. Gu is rigid and upright by nature, and he can't accept this fact.

Thinking of her father's serious and tough attitude, and the undisguised contempt of the servants at home, Gu Qing'an couldn't help feeling a little distressed, and even wave after wave of chills appeared in her heart.It seems that if he wants to get his father's nod and the world's approval, he will have to work hard.Gu Qing'an was walking alone in a deserted alleyway, and unexpectedly saw Yan Xiu standing alone under the moonlight.

Could this not be the fate that the women in the shop talk about?

The gloom in Gu Qing'an's heart was swept away, he suppressed the secret joy in his heart, and said in a pretentious manner: "The moonlight is alluring tonight, Brother Yan is so elegant."

Hearing Gu Qing'an's voice at first, Yan Xiu's back stiffened. Could it be that Gu Qing'an was trying to laugh at him for letting his own defenses fall early with the attitude of a winner?Yan Xiu knew that Gu Qing'an had a deep grudge against him for a long time, and the various temptations in the past few days finally made him realize that they are not the same kind of people.He took a deep breath, and quickly returned to that indifferent and calm look.

"I can't sleep at night, just come out for a walk."

"Oh? I don't know what is bothering Brother Yan?"

Yan Xiu pondered for a while, but finally closed his eyes, and blurted out words against his will:

"It's not a worry, it's a happy event."

"My mother found a marriage for me, and my father liked it very much when he saw it. And I... I am very happy..."

He finally turned around to face Gu Qing'an, who had a pale face and slightly trembling fingertips.

"Then... what about the words you said today?"

"It's just a joke. Do you think I really... like you?" Yan Xiu closed his eyes, uttered these words with difficulty, then turned and left.

So be it, this relationship is doomed from the beginning to an unending fate.

"Hehehe..."

"Hahahahaha..."

Gu Qing'an only thought it was ridiculous, he kept laughing, constantly.His eyes were covered with tears at some point, and in his misty vision, there were occasional woodcutters who came back at night, watching him avoid him like watching the plague, with a look of confusion on his face.

"Hahaha..." He was still laughing, laughing at his stupidity, his impulsiveness, and his blindness.

He tasted the saltiness of the tears, his legs were unsteady and he knelt down straight.He looked up at the sky, and the dark sky was not as shining with stars as usual, and the depressed people couldn't breathe.

The father's trembling hands, stern tone, and the servant's extremely mocking eyes flashed through Gu Qing'an's mind, and he could only laugh at his own stupidity over and over again.

"I have been cast aside by everyone, but in exchange for a joke..."

"Hahaha—hahaha—"

The next day.

A eunuch leaned over and whispered something in Duan Ling's ear, saying that Gu Qing'an was too ill to face the saint.Duan Ling remained calm on the face, but gave Yan Xiu a hard look in his heart.He knew that he could no longer sit idly by.

He left Yan Xiu alone when he retreated that day, and said without waiting for the other party to speak: "I don't care what happened between you, here, I am the emperor, do you think... do you have the capital to compete with me?"

Yan Xiu's heart was shocked. He tried his best to hide his emotions, but lowered his head slightly and remained silent.

"Yan Aiqing, I hope you will always be the Yan Aiqing in my heart, and not a traitor who deserves to be punished with a cane." Duan Ling turned the wrench in his hand, squinting his eyes slightly, full of warning.

Yan Xiu still kept his head down, so that people could not see his eyes, let alone find out what was in his heart.

For Yan Xiu, Duan Ling has a little awe, different from Gu Qing'an's impulsive and straightforward, three years in the court, until now he has not been able to understand the mind of the person in front of him, it is really a bit frustrated.

I don't know how long the stalemate lasted, Yan Xiu finally raised his eyes and looked at Duan Ling calmly: "Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."

After that, without waiting for Duan Ling's answer, he saluted and left.

When Gu Qing'an finally collected his thoughts and returned to the court hall, he only felt that the atmosphere was unusually weird.

Not only did Yan Xiu return to his previous look of being nothing to do with himself, but even Duan Ling had a serious face.

After finally surviving the early court, which had to be cautious when speaking, Gu Qing'an decided to give herself another chance.

"Brother Yan," he called to stop Yan Xiu, "how are you doing these days?"

"I'm fine, but Gu Cheng has not been able to go to court recently due to illness, and now his complexion is rosy, and he must have recovered quite well."

He suddenly approached him: "Are you caring about me?"

"You and I have worked together in the court for three years, and I should greet you if it is reasonable." Yan Xiu lowered his eyes, and his tone was calm and calm.

"What are you running away from?" He pressed on every step of the way. Although he really had no idea whether Yan Xiu liked him or not, he still wanted to take a gamble. He was playing tricks on him, trying to force him to nowhere. Hide away. "You like me, don't you?"

"What is Gu Cheng talking about? How can the habit of breaking sleeves be a joke? If Yan has done anything to misunderstand Gu Cheng before, I would like to express my deep apologies, but please stop Gu Cheng from making jokes." Yan Xiu Looking into his eyes, there was nothing but ice-cold in those usually calm eyes, his words were firm and his voice was like a knife, piercing Gu Qing'an's already broken heart full of holes.

"Okay, okay, very good..." Gu Qing'an's eyes were red, he staggered back, and still spoke unwillingly, as if he wanted to be hit harder and more thoroughly, "Say it again if you have the ability !"

"I hope that Gu Cheng will stop making jokes." Yan Xiu raised his hands in a bow, and then left with a flick of his sleeves.

Looking at the back of Yan Xiu's leaving, Gu Qing'an only felt that it was a joke that she kept Yan Xiu in her heart all the time.

On the night of the full moon this month, Duan Ling organized a large number of people to hunt in the wild forest in the mountains, and Gu Qing'an and Yan Xiu were among the invited ones.

While walking, Gu Qing'an was sitting on top of a steed, looking at Yan Xiu's tall back from time to time, and at the same time paying close attention to the movement of the surrounding dense forest.

Thinking of what he said to the assassin yesterday - "Night of the full moon, kill." He couldn't help showing a weird and decisive smile.

Since we can't stay together, let you stay in my memory forever.

The night wind gusts, the leaves are blown "rustling", the sound of horseshoes is heard from time to time in the forest, the sound of animals fleeing in panic and the cheers of the people are mixed with the cheers of the people, awakening the sleeping wild forest.The torch burned fiercely, and the flames soared into the sky, illuminating a night scene.

Yan Xiu never liked such lively scenes, so he drove his horse to the deserted stream by himself, dismounted and stood up.Let everyone laugh and amused, he kept himself quiet.

But there are people who want to disturb this rare quietness.

There was the sound of a sword being unsheathed, and Yan Xiu didn't need to turn his head to feel the sharp blade cutting through the tense air and was about to attack him.

Then there was a heart-piercing sound: "Be careful—"
