The days when I skipped school and opened a restaurant in ancient times

Consciousness gradually disappeared, Gu Chao closed his eyes tightly and fell into a coma.

At the moment when the pool water enveloped him, distant memories were awakened again, fear, despair, and powerlessness surged like tides, wrapping Gu Chao firmly inside, unable to breathe.

15 years ago.

Gu Chao was three years old that year, and Yang Zhaorong, who gave birth to him, died of illness.Not long after, the first emperor Gu Chuan agreed to Queen Shen Shu's request and adopted Gu Chao under her name to comfort her for losing her eleventh prince.

It was also from then on that Gu Chao gradually became less like a person.

At the beginning, it was the people around him who were tortured by his "mother queen" one after another, and then turned into him.

His mother always finds some so-called mistakes from time to time, whips him over and over again, and asks over and over again, "Do you know what's wrong?"

Did he realize his mistake?

Gu Chao didn't know, he only knew that the other party didn't even look for reasons anymore, but after venting his anger, he asked, "Did you know you were wrong?"

The boy knew he was wrong, and that was the only answer he could say.

Not saying a word or not knowing will result in a heavier whipping.The young Gu Chao had only two questions in his mind, why did the queen mother treat him like this?Did he really do something wrong?

He has no way of knowing the answer, and can only bear it silently.

Gu Yunlan was still the eighth prince at that time. After Yang Zhaorong passed away, Gu Chao was sent to the empress's side, and Gu Yunlan followed the emperor.Sometimes Gu Yunlan would sneak a look at Gu Chao in his busy schedule, but Gu Chao dared not say anything.

"If you say half a word, Gu Ning will die."

These words are like shackles that cannot be broken, fastening the little Gu Chao in the cage.In his heart, the queen is an omnipotent devil, and he was afraid that if he said it, his brother would really die.

Just like the people around him before, after experiencing painful torture, they died one by one.

He thought that if his father knew, he would be able to save himself.But the emperor didn't come, not even once.

The three-year-old Gu Chao grew up to the age of eight amidst endless abuse. Five years have transformed him from a lively, cheerful and mischievous child to a gloomy one.He would get angry with the maidservants around him, and beat them with a whip, just like his mother queen beat him.

In this way, he kept everyone away from him, because those who were too close to him died.The lord of the harem has plenty of ways to make these servants disappear silently.

But his heart also gradually produced tyranny.

Gu Yunlan has been really busy these years, sometimes not in Ningjing City for a year or so.His father entrusted him with many things, and the crown prince had an easier life than him.

It was too late when he realized that his younger brother was different, he just thought that the deep palace had locked up the child's nature, and no one could do anything about it.The only thing I can do is to take my younger brother out of the palace to have a look, get in touch with children of the same age more, and find some of the nature that belongs to children.It happened to be the sixth birthday of the young master of the Youxiang Mansion, and a banquet was being held in the mansion.

He had a good friendship with Lu Yu, the eldest son of the Lu family, so he asked the emperor to bring Gu Chao to the banquet.

At this time, the powerful emperor seemed to have just remembered that he still had the twelve princes at the empress' knees.

It was a cold winter in the twelfth lunar month, and it was very cold outside, but the Right Prime Minister's Mansion was very lively.

The snow lanterns of different shapes showed the exquisite craftsmanship of the craftsmen, and the children gathered together to pinch snow rabbits and build snowmen.Only a cute and delicate doll made a snowball, and then smashed it like the people around him.

So the children stopped pinching snow rabbits and making snowmen.They all started to snowball and start snowball fights.

Gu Yunlan originally wanted to take her younger brother out to a banquet, to have more contact with peers and play together.But he looked at his younger brother who sat silent and expressionless in his seat.Looking at the other half who were laughing and laughing, and chasing and playing with each other, Gu Yunlan sighed deeply.

"Zhizhi has been mischievous since he was a child. Everyone is making a snowman with rabbits, but he is the only one who is making snowballs and having a snowball fight. This birthday will be six years old, but it is still the same as in previous years. There is no change at all. Hey, I don’t know. When can I grow up?"

Lu Yu drank the warm wine, although he complained about his younger brother's immaturity in every word, but his expression and tone revealed infinite pampering.

Gu Yunlan didn't answer, and drank a glass of wine in suspense.This is really the death of the drought and the death of the flood. He hoped that Gu Chao would be more naughty, at least he would be popular.Lu Yu hoped that Lu Zhi could be calmer, and that he could no longer play around like a three-year-old at the age of six.

Both older brothers had unrealistic expectations of their younger brother.

Lu Yunnan was covered in snow, and most of his crazy clothes were wet, so he was taken down to change.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Gu Yunlan looked like a gourd who had been immobilized, so she urged him to find the craziest Lu Zhi he had just played with.

"Chaochao, your main purpose today is to make friends." Gu Yunlan taught her younger brother earnestly, "If you want to make friends, make friends with the one who can play the most. Look at how capable you are, and you can lead a group of children to have a snowball fight. You Do you want to learn from him?"

After finishing speaking, he pushed Gu Chao away, "Hurry up and change clothes while Zhizhi is not disturbed by anyone, and take the opportunity to talk to him and make friends. When he comes back, there must be many people around him. You can still squeeze in." !"

Gu Chao stared at Gu Yunlan for a while, and Gu Yunlan's face was full of eagerness.He didn't speak, and still had that lifeless expression, turned around and left with his head down.

Lu Yu poured himself a glass of wine, but he didn't fill up Gu Yunlan's empty glass, "The one who knows how to play the most has to be a flirtatious dude, don't spoil my brother's reputation."

Gu Yunlan was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly: "Yes, yes, the younger brother of a great talent will definitely be a great talent in the future, it's my slip of the tongue, I shouldn't use words indiscriminately, and punish myself with a glass." After filling himself with wine, he drank it all. Gu Yunlan smiled and looked at Lu Yu with a sincere look, "Yunzhong, can you forgive me?"

Lu Yu took his gaze away from Gu Yunlan, drank a glass of wine, and hummed as a response.

The woman who changed Lu Yunnan's clothes carefully put on the red coral beads that are more expensive than life and gold.Lu Yunnan rubbed his neck, he has been six years old recently, he can finally give this thing out.After so many years, he still hasn't gotten used to having a big bead hanging around his neck. His family members are afraid that he will wander off again, so they don't take it off when he sleeps.He would be woken up from time to time, especially in summer.

After changing his clothes, Lu Yunnan didn't wait for the followers to react, and ran out quickly. If he was caught by them, he would definitely be sent to his elder brother, and let his elder brother watch him, and not let himself play anymore.

Halfway through the run, Lu Yunnan found someone standing in front of him.That person was also a little doll, but his face was expressionless, and he exuded an aura that made people afraid to approach him.

Lu Yunnan has always been raised in the Lu residence in a delicate way, and he has never seen anyone show such a frightening appearance.Even in his previous life, he had always lived on the mountain. Even in the half a year when he went down to participate in the cooking competition and went out for fun with the bonus, he had never seen anyone with such an expression.

Perhaps it was because he died before he could meet him.

Lu Yunnan was instantly as quiet as a chicken, neither running nor jumping.He moved slowly towards the side, it felt like meeting a snake in the mountains, he couldn't run away quickly, for fear that the snake would rush up and bite him in the next second.But he didn't dare to stay where he was, because he was afraid that the snake would rush up and bite him in the next second.

This feeling of fear welled up in his heart, Lu Yunnan looked at the eyes that moved with him, and felt that it was really as cold as a snake.

Lu Yunnan, who was already frightened by his own imagination, reached its peak when Gu Chao stepped forward and blocked him.

Gu Chao is eight years old, taller than Lu Yunnan.They were not that tall, but Lu Yunnan felt that the other party was tall and big because of fear, and could kill him with a single punch in the next second.

Seeing that the other party blocked him again, staring at him with that sinister look, Lu Yunnan's mind went blank for an instant.Instinctively wanting to run, Gu Chao grabbed the fringe of his collar.

Gu Chao remembered the task assigned by his elder brother in his heart, to make friends with the person in front of him.According to the meaning of the eldest brother, if you talk, you are a friend, but he hasn't spoken yet, so people can't leave.

Lu Yunnan's heart went cold, he was going to die, the master once told him that there is a kind of trafficker.They will abduct other people's children and sell them for money. There are many methods.Some of them will find children of the same age to deceive people away, so that they will not arouse suspicion at all.

Thinking of Gu Chao's gloomy and terrifying appearance, which is different from ordinary people, Lu Yunnan can basically be sure that he has encountered a small human trafficker!Human traffickers came to the official's house to steal children!

Lu Yunnan, who was afraid that he would be stolen and sold, yelled loudly, and then lay down on the ground, making it more difficult for the other party to move.

Gu Chao was a little confused when he saw the villain lying motionless on the ground who suddenly called for help.The ground is covered with snow, so it's not good to lie down for a long time.So he squatted down and wanted to pull him up, but Lu Yunnan didn't think so, he thought that the other party was going to be hard finally.

Lu Yunnan saw that on the side were small bricks used to surround the grass, with snow falling on them, like rolling snow mountains.Lu Yunnan stretched out his hand, maybe it was by God's blessing that he touched a small brick on top of the loose soil.

Lu Yunnan, who had a brick in his hand, saw Gu Chao squatting down and approaching him, closed his eyes and slapped the brick on it.Gu Chao was slapped by the sudden brick and sat on the snow, covering his head and staring at Lu Yunnan.

Lu Yunnan shuddered from the cold eyes, it seemed that he was not alive in that person's eyes.Because of the angle, the sharp part of the brick scratched Gu Chao's forehead, and the blood dripped slowly through the gap between his fingers.Coupled with Gu Chao's expressionless face, it scared Lu Yunnan enough.

This scene happened to be seen by the followers who came from behind, and also by Lu Yu who ran all the way to hear his brother's cry, and Gu Yunlan who was afraid of something happening.

When Lu Yunnan was picked up from the snow by Lu Yu and stood up, Gu Chao didn't wait for Gu Yunlan to lift him up, and stood up by himself.

During this period, Lu Yunnan also knew that Gu Chao was not some perverted and vicious little trafficker, but a little prince, who came to make friends with him.

Such a big oolong, Lu Yunnan looked at Gu Chao's bleeding head with a guilty conscience.

Without even thinking about it, he took off the red coral beads hanging around his neck and gave them to Gu Chao. These beads were of great significance and could be regarded as his apology.

Gu Chaomu looked at the person in front of him with a straight face, and finally had a chance to take a closer look at the person his brother insisted he talk to and make friends with.

On the head of the other party was a tiger hat made of brocade satin, with snow-white mink fur rolled around the outside, fluffy and warm to the eye.The sides of the ears protrude a bit, and the fluffy ones just cover the ears. Long threads are sewn on both sides, and the ends are decorated with soft and cute little white pompoms, which reach the child's chest.

He is covered with excellent satin with auspicious and wishful dark patterns, and the outer jacket has a delicate pattern of five bats embroidered in the middle, which is excellent, and the pattern on it seems to fly out to pray for the child.Because it was lying on the snow before, some snow has not melted away.

Snow-white mink fur was also rolled around the clothes, and the circle around the neck lined the child's face even more cutely.

He was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed snow satin embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns on his feet. At this time, because of nervousness, the toes of the left and right shoes were replaced with the ground. superior.The front part of the idle foot is already deep, and I don't know if the snow has penetrated into it.

From top to bottom, from head to tail, you are wearing a whole body of blessings.

It's a lucky baby, very different from him.

Lu Yunnan was tired from raising his hands, Lu Yu looked at the red coral bead dangling in mid-air, and wanted to tell Lu Yunnan not to mess around and take it back, but after counting the days past five years old, according to Shengdao, he didn't need to wear it anymore.

But the elder brother is still worried after all.

Gu Yunlan wholeheartedly wanted Gu Chao to have a child of about the same age to play with, and seeing that Gu Chaohuo was nailed in place like a stake, she took it for him and stuffed it into Gu Chao's arms.

Lu Yunnan was afraid that the other party would be forced to throw him back, so he thought about making another sincere apology.I was cowardly and misunderstood others, and I was injured in the head by others, which is really unreasonable.

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to speak, he heard a voice next to his ear, 【Fighting with people is very interesting. 】

Lu Yunnan was taken aback, who?what sound?He hallucinated?

Seeing that there was no abnormality in the people around, Lu Yunnan let go of his doubts, looked at Gu Chao again, and apologized to him.

Gu Chao replied indifferently, "Yes."

However, Lu Yunnan felt that it was an honor to go back to him, so he looked at Gu Chao's face and smiled.

The next second the voice came again, 【We talked, we are friends now. 】

Lu Yunnan's smile instantly froze on his face, is this not an auditory hallucination, is he a psychic?

No, he is afraid!

Before Lu Yunnan could figure it out, Gu Yunlan took Gu Chao to treat the wound.If it was a little later, Gu Chao's wound would probably heal.

There is no way to hide the wound of the white cloth wrapped around the head, and the crime of inadvertently injuring the prince is light but serious.Lu Sheng and Lu Yu father and son discussed for a long time, and decided to let the perpetrators solve it themselves, and they seemed sincere.

Let Lu Yunnan enter the palace to take care of Gu Chao until the injury is fully healed. Gu Yunlan agreed a hundred times, and went to the emperor to ask for it on the same day.After hearing that Gu Chao was injured, the emperor didn't change his mood. He only told Gu Yunlan that it was freezing cold, and don't let the young master of the Lu family freeze.

Gu Yunlan could tell that his father didn't care about his younger brother, so he gave a muffled answer and left.

With the efforts of many parties, Xiaodouding Lu Yunnan started his journey as a nurse.In order to take care of him more conveniently, he will eat and live with Gu Chaotong for the next few days.

Because of Lu Yunnan's arrival, Gu Chao also had a few days of normal life.Lu Yunnan originally wanted to meet the queen, but the queen didn't see him, so that's good, and he doesn't have to worry about offending a nobleman because of his lack of etiquette.

When Lu Yunnan came here, he brought a lot of seasonings, he was afraid that he might not be used to the dishes in the palace.After six years, he clearly realized that people in this world are limited by various reasons, and the taste of food is basically only salty.

Gu Chao looked at the small figure who was pointing Jiang Shan in the small kitchen, did not speak, and let the other party act.

For dinner, under Lu Yunnan's command, the small kitchen cooked a bowl of chicken porridge overflowing with salty fragrance.Lu Yunnan personally brought the porridge in front of Gu Chao, and said with a smile, "I made it for you, please taste it quickly."

Gu Chao lowered his eyes, the aroma of the porridge was tangy, and the cooking time was just right.Attracted by the aroma, Gu Chao took a sip, moved his eyes, and looked up at Lu Yunnan, he didn't speak, but Lu Yunnan heard a voice.

【tastes good. 】

Lu Yunnan was already sure that this was Gu Chao's inner voice.He thought for a while, he heard the voice of the other party after sending out the coral bead, Lu Yunnan carefully looked at Gu Chao's body, but did not find his own coral bead, so he asked tentatively: "Twelve princes , is the coral bead I gave you still there?"

Gu Chao didn't speak, and Lu Yunnan didn't hear Gu Chao's voice.After thinking about it carefully, what I heard before was when the two looked at each other.

So Lu Yunnan seized the opportunity to look at Gu Chao.

"Twelve princes, does your head still hurt?"

[It doesn't hurt anymore. 】

"Twelve Princes, shall I make you some pastries?"

【eat. 】

"Where is the Twelve Princes' coral beads?"

[In arms. 】

"The Twelve Princes..."

[The servants and maidservants call me Twelve Princes. 】

Hearing this, Lu Yunnan blinked, then what's his name?The name of the twelve princes is Gu Chao.He can't call her by name directly, and the baby name is called by the elders.In addition, although he was older than Gu Chao in his previous life, he is actually two years old now.

Brother Gu, brother Chao is not what he is called at his current age.After much deliberation, Lu Yunnan finally thought of one, and with some embarrassment, he blushed and called out, "Brother Chao Chao."

Gu Chao still didn't speak, staring at Lu Yunnan with a straight face.

[I know brother. 】

Lu Yunnan's face turned redder.

In the eyes of outsiders, the young master of the Lu family has been talking to himself.He asked the twelve princes many questions, but the other party didn't say a word.Young Master Lu didn't seem to care whether the prince answered him or not, he just kept asking on his own.

When they heard "Brother Chao Chao", the maidservants who were waiting on the side couldn't help but glanced at Young Master Lu, deeply admiring the other party's iron courage, how dare he dare to fight with the famous little devil in the palace. The headgear is almost.

Perhaps it was because the little devil also knew that the other party was not a lowly servant in the palace, so he couldn't do anything about it.Just looking at the other party with cannibalistic eyes, the poor young master of the Lu family blushed with fright.

But it's strange to say that this young master Lu dared to call out to his elder brother one after another after being frightened.No matter how the Twelfth Prince glared at him, he would never change his words.

What they didn't know was that every time the little devil twelfth prince glared at someone, he would yell inwardly, "Brother Zhizhi".

The two small beans are greasy and crooked, but no one can see it.

During the recuperating period, Lu Yunnan would prepare delicious food for Gu Chaobian every day, even though he was the one who instructed others to cook.

"Add more honey to the sweet soup."

The waiter who made the soup scooped up another small spoonful of honey, Lu Yunnan tasted it and asked someone to serve the soup.

Gu Chao loves sweets, it was only recently discovered by Lu Yunnan.The cake made that day was much less sweet than before because there was no honey.Gu Chao didn't say anything while eating, and there was no expression on his face, but his inner voice betrayed him.

[I want something sweet. 】

After speaking, he still sighed in his heart, missing the sweet pastries.Lu Yunnan held back his laughter for a long time.

Now that the honey was offered again, Lu Yunnan made a sweet soup to make Gu Chao sweet enough.

Gu Chao drank the soup much faster than usual, and drank a lot.With such a big can, Lu Yunnan only drank one bowl, and everything else went into Gu Chao's stomach.

After drinking the soup, it began to snow outside.The snowflakes were falling, and the people in the house drank the sweet and hot soup and looked at the flying snow scene.

Lu Yunnan admired the snow for a while, and found that Gu Chao was still looking at it. Lu Yunnan rarely saw a touch of emotion on Gu Chao's face.

"Brother Chaochao, do you like snowing?"

Gu Chao retracted his gaze, looked at Lu Yunnan, and shook his head.

【You used to make snowmen, pinch snow rabbits, and play snowball fights.very funny. 】

Lu Yunnan understood, this is gluttonous snow wanting to play with the snow.

However, the snow is not very thick at this time, and it will have to fall again.

By the time the snow had fallen enough, the sky had already darkened.The lights in the courtyard were also turned on, and the warm light shone on the pure white snow, melting the coldness of the night cast on the snow, making people feel warm.

When Gu Chao was pulled out by Lu Yunnan, he was still a little dazed.The servants in the palace were afraid that their master would suffer from the cold, so they quickly took out their cloaks and put them on.

Lu Yunnan was rolling the snowball, and seeing that Gu Chaoming clearly wanted to play, but stood motionless, he dragged him along to help him roll the snowball.

The two worked together to make a little snowman, Lu Yunnan found branches and stones to make the snowman's arms and facial features.After he piled it up, he felt that something was missing, so he put the little tiger hat on his head on top of the snowman's head.Looking at Gu Chao with a grin, "Does the snowman look good?"

Gu Chao looked at the little white snowman wearing Lu Yunnan's little tiger hat, and nodded seriously.

After making the snowman, Lu Yunnan took Gu Chao to pinch the snow rabbit again.But he didn't pinch it well, the snowball in his hand had only two ears that could tell it wasn't a simple snowball.

This must be some kind of creature, but no one can tell what it is except Lu Yunnan himself.

Gu Chao was led by him to imitate the example, making an unknown snow ball.

Failed to pinch the snow rabbit, Lu Yunnan didn't want to waste the hard-pressed snow rabbit, so no one connected and started a snowball fight.

There was a thin layer of snow piled up on the servants and maidservants who stood aside, watching the two little nobles who were squatting on the ground suddenly stand up and have a snowball fight.Although there were only two of them, they came and went, and it was very lively.

Lu Yunnan smiled happily, and Gu Chao finally showed a real smile.Lu Yunnan almost thought that he had misread it, he was stunned for a moment and forgot to hide, and was hit by Gu Chao's snowball.

Gu Chao was worried that he had hurt someone, so he hurried forward to check.Unexpectedly, as soon as he approached, Lu Yunnan slammed the snow down.

The two played crazy, and finally they were too tired to collapse on the soft snow.

The snow had stopped, Lu Yunnan looked at the sky, and said to Gu Chao: "There is Uncle Wang Liu who drives a carriage in my family. He is very good at making snow lanterns. The snow lanterns he makes are lifelike. They look like what they are made of, and they are also very strong. On my birthday, he made all the snow lanterns in the yard. Next time I will ask him to make some snow lanterns for your yard, and you don’t have any in your yard.”

After a pause, Lu Yunnan turned his head to look at Gu Chao, and said, "After I go back, I will learn more from Uncle Wang Liu, and I will definitely teach you how to make a beautiful snow rabbit next time."

Gu Chao didn't move, just looked at the sky, Lu Yunnan couldn't hear his heart, so he looked away.

After a while, a very low voice came from my ear, which I couldn't hear unless I listened carefully.

But Lu Yunnan heard it, this was the first time he didn't know Gu Chao's thoughts through his heart, Gu Chao said to him personally: "Okay."

Lu Yunnan smiled and narrowed his eyes, and decided to work hard to learn how to pinch a snow rabbit after returning home.

But what Lu Yunnan and Gu Chao don't know now is that there will be no next snow lantern and snow rabbit between them.

Even though Lu Yunnan has already learned how to pinch a snow rabbit, he also learned to pinch many other small animals.Even if he was so proficient at kneading the dough, it was still round and lovely, and he never saw Gu Chao again.

And Gu Chao's Qixi Palace has never added a snow lantern in winter.

During Gu Chao's recuperating period, getting along with two boys of similar age was also a new experience for Lu Yunnan.

He is the youngest in the Lu family, and the youngest six elder brothers are all five years older than him.Seventh Sister was only two years older than him, but she was a girl, so he was embarrassed.

Gu Chao is his first friend, no matter in the previous life or in this life.For Lu Yunnan, Gu Chao is different.

On the day of leaving, Lu Yunnan was still very reluctant, holding Gu Chao in his arms and not wanting to let go, tears flowed out unsatisfactorily.

If it hadn't been for too long, and Lu Yu was waiting for him outside the palace, Lu Yunnan could have delayed.

Gu Chao didn't want to leave either, but his injury was healed, and the Chinese New Year would be a few days away, so Lu Yunnan could no longer stay in the palace.

Lu Yunnan turned his head three times and left, and was escorted to the gate of the palace by three servants.

Not long after Lu Yunnan left, the empress who had been behind closed doors for many days came to the Qixi Hall in person.

The servant wanted to report but was stopped by Nanny Chang's eyes. Gu Chaozheng was sitting in the hall, holding a red coral bead in his hand and stroking it around. It's precious.

Obviously there is no expression on his face, but Shen Shu can tell that Gu Chao is very happy.

"Are you happy to have made new friends?"

Shen Shu's voice made Gu Chao straighten his back instantly, and his eyes looked at her like knives.

Shen Shu glanced at Nanny Chang, Nanny Chang understood what she meant, and went forward to snatch the coral beads from Gu Chao's hand.Gu Chao lost his strength, his hands were covered with scratches from Nanny Chang's nails, and he still couldn't hold the beads that Lu Yunnan gave him.

Playing with the coral beads, Shen Shu curled her lips and said with a smile: "The benzoin can't suppress the life-threatening ghost, and neither can this Buddha treasure."

After finishing speaking, Shen Shu handed the bead to Nanny Chang, and had someone control Gu Chao, smashing the coral bead to pieces in front of him.

Gu Chao couldn't move, this situation happened many times.Shen Shuzhong can see his emotions keenly, he obviously no longer expresses any emotions, but Shen Shu can still see it.

She will destroy everything she cares about, people and things.At the same time, it will destroy those who care about themselves.

Gu Chao seemed to have thought of something. Regardless of the destruction of the beads, he looked at Shen Shu and asked coldly, "What did you do to Lu Zhi?"

"It's nothing. I'm going to take you to see it. It's meaningless if you don't see everything."

With a wave of Shen Shu's hand, the servant who controlled Gu Chao supported him and followed behind.

There is an old tree in the imperial garden, and some small shrubs are planted beside the old tree.At this time there was a person standing behind the bushes, and Shen Shu pointed to the frozen Yueming Pond in the Imperial Garden, "Look carefully, watching the people you care about die in front of your eyes, but you can only watch helplessly." .”

"Help! Help!" A sharp cry for help came from the frozen Yueming Pond, Lu Yunnan was led by three servants and heard someone calling for help, so he hurried to check.

Seeing someone jumping in the water, the three servants quickly dispersed to find someone, "Someone fell into the frozen lake!"

Lu Yunnan stood by the lake and watched anxiously the people in the water, thinking about how to save them.But he didn't want to feel a sudden pain in his foot, and he fell into it.

Gu Chao watched helplessly as one of the three servants blew from a small bamboo tube, and then Lu Zhi fell into the lake.

The water in winter is bitterly cold, and people who are frozen can't move even if they want to.On the surface, it looked like there were two drowning people jumping in the water, but Gu Chao could see clearly that the person who called for help at the beginning was also arranged by Shen Shu.He wasn't thumping for help, but was pressing down on Lu Yunnan everywhere, pushing him into the water.

The cries for help became weaker and weaker. Gu Chao's eyes were red. He desperately wanted to break free and rushed into Yueming Pool to rescue him, but he was tightly restrained and could only watch helplessly, watching Lu Zhi in front of his eyes. die.

Just like the maid who secretly gave him medicine before.

A few days after the maid gave him the medicine without Shen Shu's order, Shen Shu let him go to the Buddhist hall.

He knelt in front of the Buddhist hall, and Shen Shu looked at him and said, "You look relaxed today, and your wounds are already much better. It's always pleasant to have someone care about you."

Gu Chao didn't dare to speak, and she didn't need Gu Chao to answer, she just said: "You are too obviously happy, and your smile is piercing, Buddha doesn't like it."

"Last night, a court lady was caught hiding a lot of medicine. I suspect that she wanted to put medicine in the food and murder the Twelfth Prince."

Shen Shu looked at Gu Chao, smiled lightly and said, "Bring him up."

Gu Chao knelt on the ground, watching several servants dragging a palace maid in.It was the person who secretly drugged himself before.

"Empress, I have been wronged by this servant! I dare not murder the prince! I beg the empress to learn from you..."

The door of the Buddhist hall was closed, and several people in servant clothes came out from the pillars in the dark.

Gu Chao looked at Shen Shu fiercely, and Shen Shu also looked at Gu Chao, and she smiled.Like the Guanyin Bodhisattva enshrined in the sky, it is merciful to help the world.

She said, "Since you are so considerate of you, it is not too much to be punished for ignoring my order."

Those people moved, and Gu Chao wanted to stop them, but was firmly held down.He didn't dare to look, but his head was fixed.

Tears clouded his eyes, and after many years, he cried again.

"I hate crying the most. If you cry, one more person will be added."

Gu Chao didn't dare to cry anymore, his lower lip was dripping with blood, and he didn't make a sound anymore.

Shen Shu recited Buddhist scriptures, and the sound of wooden fish gradually sounded.

He looked at the servant girl who had been kind to him, being played around and treated like a livestock.He had seen the most essential evil in this world, the maidservant was bleeding profusely, her body was bruised and purple, and the tears in her eyes had dried up.

The sound of chanting scriptures and the sound of wooden fish finally stopped. The fragrance of the Buddhist hall mixed with the smell of heather and blood blended with each other, making people sick.

Shen Shu was supported to stand up, glanced at the palace maid who died in pain, and only said "Amitabha".

Looking at the numb Gu Chao, Shen Shu smiled brightly, "She looks as dirty and despicable as your dead biological mother now."

From then on, Gu Chao never dared to show his emotions again.

After that day, Gu Chao fell ill, very seriously ill.He developed a high fever and fell into a coma.

There was a lot of movement in the Buddhist hall, and the queen didn't want to hide it.It only said that a court lady who tried to poison the prince was dealt with, and the prince was frightened and fell ill.

Looking at Lu Zhi who was gradually losing his voice, Gu Chao was so anxious that he couldn't bear the pain of Lu Zhi's death, and passed out.

Shen Shu saw that the person was dizzy and couldn't wake up, so she had to take the person back.

After Gu Chao woke up, his eyes were scarlet, he took the dagger that Gu Yunlan had given him for fun, rushed into the Buddhist hall, and stabbed it into Shen Shu's waist with all his strength.

Shen Shu looked at the dagger at her waist and laughed maniacally, "You actually killed your mother hahahahahahahahaha! Gu Chao, Gu Chao, you really deserve to be reincarnated by a ghost. It's not enough to take my Xing'er's life, but you want me to kill you!" Fate hahaha."

Gu Chao no longer remembers what happened afterwards, he only knows that his elder brother is here, his father, who has never been to see him, is here, and even the emperor's grandmother is here.

He doesn't remember what everyone said or did, and he doesn't care.But when the imperial doctor said that the queen was fine, he drew out the guard's sword and wanted to give Shen Shu another sword.Such a long sword must be able to kill her completely.

But he failed, he was kicked to the ground by his father.The elder brother jumped on him and took several blows for him.

Later, my brother told him that Lu Zhi was fine.Lu Yu waited at the gate of the palace for a long time without seeing anyone come out, and he was flustered all the time, so he took the palace card and entered the gate of the palace.It happened that he ran into the servant who was looking for someone to save him, and when he knew that Lu Zhi was in Yueming Lake, he rushed over.I rescued people in time and came up, and now my life is fine, but the water is cold in winter, and I have been in a coma.

Gu Chao didn't have any emotional changes, it was more serious than before.

When his grandmother said to take him to the palace to recuperate, Gu Chao did not refuse.

It's been ten years since he left. In the two years since he first went to the palace, every time he received a letter from Lu Zhi, he didn't even dare to look at it.Later, there were no more letters from Lu Zhi in the palace, and he was finally forgotten by Lu Zhi.

Shen Shu looked at the teardrops falling from the corners of the unconscious Gu Chao's eyes, and couldn't help asking Nanny Chang, "Look, he cried. What did you say he dreamed, crying so sadly?"

Nanny Chang lowered her head and replied, "It must be repentance."

Shen Shu was very satisfied with Nanny Chang's answer. She sat by the bed and looked at the other person through Gu Chao. Xing'er lost her breath in my arms, but he was born at that time.

The palace was really lively that day, with the sound of gongs and drums, and the grand scene of iron trees and silver flowers celebrating his arrival.

His life was bought in exchange for my Xing'er's death. As long as one of Sun Yuanjuan and Imperial Physician Hua was there that day, I, Xing'er, would not die.He should repent, I want ten times a hundred times to let Gu Chao personally experience my pain that day, and watch the person he cares about leave in front of his own eyes. "

Shen Shu touched Gu Chao's face and said with a smile, "So don't die, don't die."

When Gu Chao woke up, Gu Yunlan was on the sidelines dealing with official business. He himself did not expect that the good dragon boat race, celebrating with the people, would end because of his stupid brother diving into the water.

"Brother, how is Lu Zhi?"

Gu Chao was worried that Lu Zhi was terribly worried. Gu Yunlan put down the paperwork in his hand and said angrily, "Lu Zhi's water quality is no worse than that of the naval instructor. You were brought up by him from the second dive."

Gu Yunlan looked at the bewildered younger brother, and sighed, "Although Lu Zhi has fallen into the water before, he is not afraid of the water because of it, but he has learned it for many years, and his water skills are very good. But you, a landlubber, think about it." Jump down if you don’t want to! If Lu Zhijiu hadn’t rescued you in time, you would have been queuing up at the Palace of the King of Hell.”

After Gu Yunlan finished speaking, she suddenly thought of how Lu Zhi rescued Gu Chao, her ears turned red, and she felt a little uncomfortable, "Anyway, after you take care of your body, you'd better come to thank you in person."

Glancing at her strong and strong younger brother, Gu Yunlan couldn't hold back and added, "Lu Zhi really sacrificed a lot to save you."

The sun came out in the west, red rain fell from the sky, and gold ingots grew in the ground.

Song Mingxi, a scholar of the Wenyuan Pavilion of the cabinet, and Song Huizhi, a co-organizer of half of the cabinet scholars, came to the opposite right minister's mansion.

Lu Yu is okay, after all, he was born in Hanlin and has a lot of connections with the cabinet.Lu Sheng could only keep drinking tea, then
