Not long after Qu Yu returned home, less than a month later, Gu Xingji packed his son and sent him here.There were also twenty carrier pigeons.

"My lord has ordered, if you feel that the pigeons are useless, you can kill the pigeons and make the soup, and the meat of the pigeons will be added!" The guard who answered said with a painful face, afraid that Qu Yu would really stew these pigeons.These pigeons are specially sent out by the army to feed them. They eat better than ordinary sergeants. They are only used to convey news in emergencies. There are only a hundred of them in total. Only……

"This carrier pigeon is well raised, very energetic!" Qu Yu said with a smile, and the meaning in the guard's ear was "it's good for eating!" Qu Yu saw enough of the guard's expression with a smile, "These pigeons are well raised , it’s the best way to send messages!”

The guard breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to leave, but suddenly remembered that the prince had ordered something to be handed over to Mr. Qu before leaving.The guard took out a small wooden box the size of a palm from the lapel of his chest, and handed it to Qu Yu, "Your Majesty ordered you to hand it over to the Young Master!"

Qu Yu opened the wooden box suspiciously, and there was only a fiery red maple leaf inside.The guard thought that the prince's solemn explanation must be something valuable, but he never expected it to be a leaf, so he knelt down in panic, "This subordinate has never opened the box, and this subordinate does not know that the contents inside will change. into a leaf!"

"Hey? Why are you kneeling down? Get up quickly! It's none of your business, the prince gave me a leaf!" Qu Yu had a smile on his face that couldn't be concealed.

The guard got up from the ground suspiciously, he didn't understand how the prince would give Mr. Qu a worthless broken leaf!And Mr. Qu looked very happy?

Seeing the doubts on the guard's face, Qu Yu said flamboyantly: "This leaf is also called Acacia leaf, which means 'a leaf sends lovesickness from a thousand miles away'!"

The guard had an epiphany expression on his face, he was still a prince, it was much better than sour poems and embroidered handkerchiefs!The guard silently kept it in his heart, so that he could please his daughter-in-law in the future.

Qu Yu couldn't stop being happy, so he immediately wrote a short letter and sent it to the guard in charge of feeding the pigeons.Because there are only pigeons flying to the capital, and none of them can fly back, Gu Xingji's reply can only be delivered through the post station, which is very slow.So, Qu Yu searched for pigeons everywhere, raised them and prepared to take them back to the capital when Shao'er returned to Beijing.

The days passed quickly in this kind of writing and receiving letters every now and then, and it was winter and February in a blink of an eye, and the Chinese New Year would be over a month away.Qu Yu thought about it, and prepared a New Year's gift for Yao'er to bring back when he returns to Beijing for the New Year.

Yao'er wanted to leave, Shao'er was the first to be reluctant, Qu Yu thought for a while, "Then you can go together, accompany Yao'er, and also go to see your Uncle Gu, and give the New Year's gift by the way." Although it fell, there are still many other relatives in the Zhang family, and they all gave New Year gifts one by one.

"Don't uncle go with you? The emperor has spared you from punishment, why does uncle still stay here?" Although Shao'er is precocious, he is still too young and there are many things he doesn't understand.

"Uncle promised you, Uncle Gu, to wait for him for three years. Now that I see you, Uncle is afraid that I won't be able to wait any longer!" Qu Yu murmured, not as if explaining to Shao'er, but as if explaining it to himself.

Shao'er saw that her uncle's mood dropped in the blink of an eye, and realized that she had said something she shouldn't have said, so she immediately changed the subject.Qu Yu also followed Shao'er's words and changed the topic, and by the way, asked Shao'er a few words.In the end, Qu Yu gave Shaoer a small box and asked him to pass it on to King Ning.

On the 22nd of the twelfth lunar month, the day before the first year of the year, Shao'er and Yao'er returned to the capital.Before the two brothers entered the city, they saw Song Xuan waiting outside the city gate.Shao'er didn't go back to Duke Ning's mansion either, and was directly taken back to Prince Ning's mansion by Song Xuan.

In the palace, Gu Xingji had already ordered the cook to prepare the two children's favorite food. He watched the two children gobble up the food with a smile in his eyes, and without saying anything, he ordered his servants to take the two children to rest.Before Shao'er left, he took out a small wooden box from his purse and handed it to Gu Xingji, "This is from Uncle!"

Gu Xingji was stunned for a moment, Shao'er had already left after returning to his senses, only Song Xuan beside him had an ambiguous smile on his face. "My lord, why don't you open it soon?"

Gu Xingji cast a sideways glance at Song Xuan, "Aren't you afraid that you will be killed if you know too much?"

Song Xuan waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "I'm a loyal king now, and it's not your turn to silence the prince. Besides, if the prince wanted to silence the mouth, he would have killed him long ago. How can I let my subordinates live until now!"

Gu Xingji had no words to refute, and could only pretend to open the wooden box indifferently.Inside was a goose feather.

"Feather? Why would Mr. Qu give the prince a feather? Feather, feather?" Song Xuan felt that he had an epiphany, "Does this feather refer to Mr. Qu himself? Mr. Qu Yu is giving himself to you, the prince. gone?"

"Don't say that you went out from my house when you go out in the future!" Gu Xingji gave Song Xuan a disgusted look, "Also, although you are a bodyguard, my elder brother prefers poetry to swordsmanship, so, Read more books when you have time, this is the meaning of 'Gifts of goose feathers from thousands of miles are less affectionate'!"

"No, the affection in this word is not..." Song Xuan didn't continue.No one can say that this "affection" cannot be the love between men and women!

This year, Gu Xingji had a very happy time, although he declined the emperor's banquet on the pretext that he was still ill, but when the emperor came to the door, he didn't show the emperor any more face.

Just after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Gu Xingji packed a bunch of things and sent the two children away. "Go back, your uncle is having a good time by himself, you go back early to be with him. Tell him that everything is fine in the capital, and write to me if you have anything to do!"

Gu Xingji sent the two children out of the house, and then Song Xuan sent them out of the city.After half a day, Song Xuan came back to reply, but Gu Xingji was still standing at the gate of the palace, the same as when they left.Song Xuan felt a little swollen in his heart, "My lord, my subordinates don't understand that the emperor has exempted Mr. Qu from punishment, and has not restricted his freedom. Why doesn't your lord visit Mr. Qu?"

Gu Xingji looked at Song Xuan for a while, then turned and left.Before leaving, Gu Xingji left a word in a low voice, "Seeing him, I'm afraid I can't help but drop everything and take him away!"

In the days to come, Qu Yu and Gu Xingji would still often pass a small note with a pigeon.Every year during the New Year, Shao'er and Yao'er would go back to Beijing to accompany Gu Xingji to celebrate the New Year.

In the third year of the emperor's accession to the throne, there was a celebration of offering sacrifices to heaven as usual.When the emperor was busy reviewing the memorial, the eunuch Gui Xi came to report, "Your Majesty, King Ning is dead..."

"Pa~!" The vermilion pen in Gu Xingji's hand, which was used for imperial criticism, fell to the ground.Gu Xingge suddenly slumped on the chair, and said weakly: "Guixi, did you report the death of the bird? Why did you report the death of the father, the death of the mother, the death of the queen, and the death of the emperor? Ah? You said it?" !” At the last sentence, Gu Xingge suddenly became furious, picked up the memorial on the table and threw it at Gui Xi.

Gui Xi didn't avoid it, but just lowered his head and said in a flat tone: "Your Majesty, please take care of the dragon body!"

Throwing away everything on the table, Gu Xingge leaned back on the chair as if he was exhausted, and ordered in a hoarse voice, "Go down, tell the people below, I will go to Prince Ning's Mansion to express my condolences in person."

Gui Xi bowed and stepped back.Gu Xingge was the only one left in the imperial study room. Gu Xingge suddenly raised his head and laughed loudly. Two crystal clear teardrops slipped into his temples, and no one noticed.Now, he has finally ascended to the seat that symbolizes the highest power, and he has firmly grasped the power in his hands, but there is no one around him, father, queen mother, brother, and grandfather's family. Now he is really a lonely person, understand The feeling of being extremely cold at the heights, I understand that maybe the father was not dazzled by the beauty at the beginning, but was afraid of the icy cold taste, and turned to seek warmth in the harem, right?

Gu Xingge, who had had enough laughing, changed into plain clothes and went to Prince Ning's mansion in a low-key manner.As soon as he entered the gate of the mansion, he saw a pigeon cooing in the center of the front yard. It was not afraid to see people coming, and it tilted its head to look at people coming.

The butler of the palace was taken aback, and quickly stepped forward to grab the pigeon, and handed it to the people around him to take it down. "Wait, what's tied to the pigeon's leg?"

"Back to the emperor, this is, this is..." The butler has been working in the mansion since the establishment of King Ning's mansion, and knows a little about the affairs of the masters.He knew that his master was rejected by the emperor because of his friendship with Mr. Qu. If the emperor knew that his master had been writing letters to Mr. Qu, would he be angry?However, he didn't dare to lie to the emperor. After weighing things up and down, he decided to tell the truth. Anyway, since the master is gone, the emperor should not attack Prince Ning's mansion on a day like today. letter."

"Bring me to have a look!" The emperor stretched out his hand, but no one dared to say no.The housekeeper hurriedly handed the note tied to the pigeon's foot to the father-in-law next to the emperor, and then handed it over to the emperor.

Gu Xingge glanced at the note calmly.The letter was very short and didn't say anything special, not even mentioning the word "missing", but the emperor clearly felt the intimacy and slow friendship between the writer and the recipient.The emperor rubbed the note in his hand, "Why did your lord reply to Qu Yu's letter? Do you also use carrier pigeons? I also write a letter and send it to me!"

A few days later, Qu Yu picked up a carrier pigeon from the capital in the backyard as usual.The joy in my heart dissipated completely after reading the contents of the letter, and my heart hurts like being run over.Qu Yu's face turned pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

This scene happened to be seen by the two brothers who came to the backyard to pay respects to Qu Yu.Yao'er and Shao'er immediately ran to Qu Yu's side, protecting him from left to right, "Uncle, why...?"

Shao'er hadn't finished her sentence when she saw the letter in Qu Yu's hand, her tone changed immediately.There are only three words on the letter, "King Ningxiu".

Yao'er snatched the note and tore it up, "It's fake, it must be fake, father must be fine! Daddy, it's just fake!"

Qu Yu nodded with difficulty, "That's right, that's right, he promised me..." Qu Yu suddenly couldn't continue, he suddenly found that Gu Xingji had never promised him anything.Even if he said that he would wait for Gu Xingji for three years, Gu Xingji only said that he believed him.When he left the capital, Gu Xingji didn't even say a word!Although they have been communicating constantly over the years, Gu Xingji has never made a single word of promise!

Could it be that Gu Xingji had long since wished to die?Or because the emperor refused to allow Gu Xingji to leave, so...give him death?Thinking that Gu Xingji was no longer alive, Qu Yu's chest seemed to be blocked by cotton, and he wished he could cry loudly! "I'm going to find him, I'm going to find him!" Qu Yu rushed to the stable, leaving the town where the Zhang family was located for the first time since he was demoted from the capital.

Shao'er and Yao'er were afraid that something would happen to him, so they immediately led their horses and chased after him.Sure enough, not long after leaving the town, Qu Yu fell off his horse...

Qu Yu seemed to see Gu Xingji in his confusion.He lost a lot of weight, he looked at himself with concern, and he stroked his forehead with his hand... Qu Yu closed his eyes again, and murmured: "Xing Ji, walk slowly on Huangquan Road, I'll just walk slowly." Come, I will chase you!"

"Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu, are you awake? Don't sleep anymore! Open your eyes, look at me, look at me, I'm still alive, don't sleep anymore!" Gu Xingji clearly saw that Qu Yu opened his eyes , just closed it again in the blink of an eye, if it wasn't for Qu Yu's lips moving slightly at this time, he would have thought he was hallucinating.

After waiting for three years, looking forward to it for three years, I thought that I could stay with my lover from now on, but what I waited for was that my lover fell asleep.Gu Xingji regretted it very much at this time, why he didn't tell his daughter-in-law in advance that he would come to him, why he only wanted to surprise his lover but didn't think of talking to him.Now it seems that there are no more surprises, but there are a lot of shocks, and I still give it to myself!

It took another three days for Qu Yu to wake up completely. When he saw Gu Xingji for the first time, Qu Yu thought he saw a ghost, "Xingji, are you here to pick me up?"

Gu Xingji was so angry and funny, he didn't speak at all, and kissed his lover whom he hadn't seen for three years.The entanglement of lips and tongues silently tells the thoughts in their hearts.Gradually, the taste of this kiss changed. Gu Xingji endured it for three years, and when he touched his little wife again, he felt that the suppressed beast in his heart suddenly woke up, and shouted, "Own him, own him!"

Gu Xingji exhausted his last shred of reason and let go of his daughter-in-law.He told himself that his little daughter-in-law hadn't recovered yet, so he couldn't be such a beast!However, just after a kiss, Gu Xingji was startled and unconsciously lifted the quilt off the little daughter-in-law, and somehow the obscene clothes were untied.

There were two bright red fruits embedded in the white chest, which made Gu Xingji's throat move uncontrollably, as if he could hear the sound of crackling.Gu Xingji silently recited the Mantra of Purifying Heart, and then straightened up the lapel for the little daughter-in-law without looking away.

Qu Yu suddenly reached out and grabbed his warm palm, "Xingji, is it really you? If it's really you...hug me, let me feel you!"

"Wow~!" Gu Xingji heard the collapse of the pagoda of reason in his mind.He couldn't restrain his desire anymore, and possessed himself to suppress the person who had been thinking about it for three years...

Gu Xingji was still concerned about Qu Yu's body in his heart, he did not let go of eating, and he tried his best to be gentle and considerate during the process.After the affair, Gu Xingji hugged his little daughter-in-law in satisfaction, feeling that he was finally consummated.

Gu Xingji kissed the little daughter-in-law's forehead, "Stop doing stupid things again, you don't know how scared I am, I'm afraid you won't wake up from sleep!"

"I thought you were dead..." Qu Yu leaned against Gu Xingji and whispered.

"I'm sorry!" Gu Xingji gently kissed the little daughter-in-law's forehead, nose, and lips, "If there is such a day, I will definitely outlive you, and I can't bear you to be sad again!"

Qu Yu closed his eyes and smiled, "No, I think we will die in the same year, the same month, and the same day, and walk together on the road to hell!"

Gu Xingji smiled dotingly, "Okay, it's up to you, you can do whatever you want!"

Another month, Qu Yu took good care of his body.On a sunny day, a family of four left the land of the Wu Dynasty by boat, and went to the small island where Qu Yu discovered the Liaodong King hid his wealth, and never set foot in the Central Plains again in this life.

A hundred years later, Gu Xingji and Qu Yu were buried together by Shao'er and Yao'er, fulfilling their wish to be together before and after death...
