A thousand years

Qi Yanling left the meeting angrily, and set off to return home the next day.The whole court in Southern Chu was shocked, and everyone played.

As for Gu Ruofan, it was only after he sobered up the next day that he realized that at the banquet last night, Gu Huai actually made such a confession to himself to everyone in the world after rejecting Princess Beiqi.

When the emperor of Southern Chu angrily announced that he would send troops to Northern Qi, all the courtiers of Southern Chu wrote a letter to Gu Huai, begging His Majesty to change his mind. Still looking at himself, his eyes are calm and gentle.

"Ruofan, I've wanted to do this for a long time."

"I wanted to tell the world a long time ago, tell everyone that Gu Huai only loves Gu Ruofan in this life."

The self at that time, Gu Ruofan stood there, looking at the self in the previous life, without having time to think about the affection and determination between Gu Huai's words, instead he slapped him across the face.

"Now the Northern Qi Dynasty is going to send troops to the Southern Chu. The war is about to break out. Do you know how much disaster this will bring? For our own personal relationship, blood will flow into rivers, and the people will not be able to survive?"

Gu Huai's face changed almost instantly. Gu Ruofan looked at the back of Gu Huai who was waving his sleeves away. It was at this moment that he finally understood. Back then, Gu Huai ignored Qi Yanling and declared to everyone that he only loved himself in this life. One person, what a firm and profound mood he is holding.

And his own slap, I am afraid that his heart will be chilled.

When the war was approaching, almost everyone was shocked.After the admonisher was dismissed after playing with Gu Huai, the blood splashed on the hall, and all civil and military officials in the court fell to their knees. Everyone was begging Gu Huai to change his mind and marry the princess of Northern Qi, and not to disturb the world just because of a man.

When everyone was blaming Gu Huai and begging Gu Huai, Gu Ruofan was still dressed in white, but his face had lost a few rounds of weight in just a few days.

He knelt down on top of the main hall, and kowtowed three times to Gu Huai, who was aloof. The man's voice trembled imperceptibly, but he looked at Gu Huai with extremely serious eyes.

Gu Ruofan heard himself say: "I implore Your Majesty to marry the Northern Qi princess as my successor to Southern Chu. The harem has been vacant for a long time...it should have a master."

Gu Huai's eyes were so gloomy that water dripped out. He looked at Gu Ruofan, who was kneeling under the hall, calling him His Majesty, and begging him to stand up. His eyes, as sharp as a knife's edge, stared at him closely. After a long time, the corners of his lips finally slowly curled up. .

"Is that what you think?"

Gu Ruofan bent over and kowtowed, his voice was firm and resounded throughout the hall.

"Please Your Majesty marry the Princess of Northern Qi as Queen!"

Gu Huai laughed slowly, and stood up, with a pair of cold eyes with narrow and long tails, but the light that burst out from them was cold and indifferent.

The wind from outside blew into the hall, making Gu Huai's dragon robe rattle. He ignored Gu Ruofan who was kneeling below, but looked at all his courtiers, his voice was cold, with the air of an emperor who would not tolerate him.

"Emperor Huai of Southern Chu, in this life, he will never become a successor. Gu Ruofan is the only one in the world."

Gu Ruofan looked at Gu Huai who was standing above the main hall, and felt a dull pain in his heart that he couldn't help.His Ah Huai will always be like this.Those eyes refused to look at him, probably because he felt hurt at the time.

Gu Ruofan was still kneeling there, Gu Huai held his breath in his heart, and he didn't look at him after he got down, he waved his sleeves and walked out without looking back.

But not long after, he still came.Walking in front of him with a calm face, he stretched out his hand to Gu Ruofan.

"stand up."

Gu Ruofan lowered his eyes to hide the bitterness in his heart, but he refused to grab Gu Huai's hand and just knelt there.

The two of them were in a stalemate like this, Gu Huai stretched out his hand, Gu Ruofan lowered his head, I don't know how long it took, until Gu Ruofan's heart was filled with an uncontrollable sadness, Gu Huai stood in front of him and smiled slightly. He sighed imperceptibly.

He squatted down and hugged the person directly without any rejection.

All the way to the bedroom with a sullen face, he put the person on the bed, and after carefully checking that there were no scars or bruises on his knees, Gu Huai's face that was so heavy that it could drip water slowly softened a bit.

"Ruofan...don't force me."

There was an imperceptible hint of injury in the man's tone, which almost instantly made Gu Ruofan's eyes blush.

Forcibly enduring the soreness in his heart, Gu Ruofan turned his face away and refused to look at him, am I forcing you?

If I can't bear to see you being criticized by thousands of people, if I can't bear to see you stigmatized for thousands of years, if I can't bear to see the empire that you built with one hand, the people are devastated, how can I be willing, how can I be willing to give you who I love so deeply, forcefully push to others

The man clenched his fists tightly, raised his head without saying a word, but his heart was already overwhelmed.

Gu Huai was silent, without even smiling, stood up and stretched out his hand to Gu Ruofan, with a trace of emotion in his eyes that he couldn't understand.

Gu Ruofan hesitated for a moment, but still put his hand into Gu Huai's palm, followed him, and walked out together.

Speechless all the way.

On the city tower late at night, there was a strong wind and it was bitingly cold.Gu Huai silently borrowed the cloak from his body and put it on Gu Ruofan's shoulders. His slender and powerful hands gently hugged Gu Ruofan's hands, one by one, but the slightly cold fingertips were entangled with each other. In the middle, it gradually becomes warmer.

Gu Huai led Gu Ruofan to the top of the tower, and leaned on the railing to look into the distance.

"Ruofan, look outside, this is our country."

It seemed that it was because of this night that Gu Ruofan only felt that Gu Huai at this moment, standing on the tower and looking at him, was a gentleness that he would never forget for all his life.

Staring into Gu Ruofan's eyes, this young emperor who stands high above the world, has a little injury in his eyes, and his eyes are burning.

Gu Ruofan stiffened his fingertips, let Gu Huai hold him, opened his mouth, but seemed to have lost the ability to speak, and was speechless for a moment.

"Don't say anything that makes me a queen." Gu Huai shook his head, a self-deprecating smile curled up on his lips, "I never called myself "I" in front of you, but today, you knelt in front of me and called My Majesty."

Gu Huai's voice was flat, as if as long as the wind blows, he would be blown away, but Gu Ruofan felt sore in his heart, only feeling a tightness in his chest.

"I know what you are afraid of, Ruofan, why don't you understand?"

"There has always been a rift between Southern Chu and Northern Qi, and it is only a matter of time before the war breaks out. The root cause is not with you or me, do you understand?" Gu Huai explained in a gentle voice with rare patience today.

Gently closing the cloak on the man's shoulders, Gu Huai spoke softly, pointing at himself, looking at Gu Ruofan's extremely bright eyes.

"What's more, Ruofan, look at me."

"Even if the sky falls today, as long as I'm still here, what do you have to be afraid of?"

On that day, Gu Ruofan's emotions were rarely out of control. The self-blame, pain, and fear of so many days all broke out in Gu Huai's words.Yes, with him here, he is Gu Huai, he is the omnipotent Gu Huai, as long as he is there, he has nothing to be afraid of

On this night, the young emperor showed rare tenderness and accommodating, allowing the man in his arms who had always been gentle and self-sufficient to break down, feeling peaceful in his heart.Gu Huai was thinking, what are you afraid of?

With him around, Southern Chu would definitely defeat Northern Qi.

In his whole life, he just loved Gu Ruofan.So cherished, how can he be willing to hide in the dark and not see the light, even if he is not tolerated by the people of the world, even if the flood after their death.

Gu Huai looked at the back of the person in his arms who was dressed in white, and slowly raised the corners of his lips.

He just wanted to tell the world, let everyone know that Gu Huai only loved Gu Ruofan in his life.He wanted them to be written together in the history books even after they died, and they would live forever and never be separated.

That day Gu Huai was dressed in military uniform, but Gu Ruofan was still dreaming.

When he woke up, the army had already been marching for half a day, so even if he chased him on horseback, it would be futile.When Gu Ruofan opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was a letter that Gu Huai had left in front of the bed.

"Ruofan, I ordered you not to chase after him."

"This battle is a battle of fate, irresistible. I went out in person because I am the emperor of Southern Chu."

"I will definitely return in triumph and finish Northern Qi in one fell swoop."

"From now on, there will be no gap between you and me, and you don't have to blame yourself."

"Ruofan, when I come back, how about we go to see the peach blossoms in southern Xinjiang together?"

The scene changed abruptly, and Gu Ruofan looked at himself, who was dressed in white in the previous life, sitting in the hall instead of Gu Huai, handling all government affairs, busy every day until late at night, and getting thinner and thinner day by day.

The news uploaded from the front line is pitiful, and occasionally a little bit of news will be sent back.

Gu Ruofan was overjoyed when he saw that he was holding the note that Gu Huai sent someone to rush back: "I will return triumphantly soon, Ruofan, wait for me to come back".

Then I watched the accident suddenly, and it was bright red.

Intense pain struck Gu Ruofan's heart, as if someone had punched his heart, and his whole body twitched in pain.

Suddenly woke up.

Opening his eyes, he saw the familiar room. After a long time, Gu Ruofan finally got out of the dream. When he habitually wanted to reach out and hug Gu Huai, he was in vain.

The other side of the bed was icy cold, and even the tidy appearance of the bed showed that no one had slept here, only traces of the unique smell of Gu Huai lingering in the air.

Gu Ruofan reached out and hugged the pillow that Gu Huai used to sleep on, and looked at the ceiling with big eyes, which was a bit hollow.

Now, how he forgot.

Ah Huai has already gone to the army.

The last sentence I said to myself was the same as in the previous life.

Xiaofan, wait for brother to come back.
