A thousand years

Frightened, flustered, trampled by horseshoes.

With the sound of the arrow piercing the muscles, Gu Ruofan's white clothes were stained with blood, and he lost his center of gravity and fell off the horse.

severe pain.

Burning general, dizzy.No one even saw clearly where the straight arrow that pierced Gu Ruofan came from.

"There are assassins! There are assassins!"

Everyone shouted in panic, and the dust in the paddock was flying, everyone was shocked.

Gu Huai, who was concentrating on the black bear rushing violently in front of him, moved his ears slightly, and heard the word Gu Ruofan was assassinated, the hand holding the bow and arrow shook suddenly, and the arrow flew out uncontrollably, shooting crookedly. .

Turning his head, Gu Huai didn't even have time to look at the black bear that was rushing towards him. The first thing he saw when he turned his head was the scene where Gu Ruofan fell from the horse.

Cardiac arrest.

"Be careful!" Huo Qingyu rode his horse and galloped over, roaring with an arrow in his hand, but Gu Huai seemed to have never heard of it.

boom!

The black bear slapped it down, directly on Gu Huai's shoulder, and a whole piece of flesh was torn off abruptly, bloody and bloody!

Bright red blood stained his cheeks.

Unconsciously, there was a cold light in his eyes, with a murderous aura.

With a muffled snort, Gu Huai was furious. He took out an arrow from his back and used all his strength to shoot it directly into the black bear's eyes. The beast roared in pain.

Looking at the angle, Huo Qingyu took the bow and shot the arrows, and fired five arrows at once.

Shua! Shua! Shua! Shua! Shua!

The black bear fell to the ground, covered in arrow marks.

Ce immediately stepped forward, and when he was about to check the wound on Gu Huai's shoulder, Gu Huai raised his eyes, as if he didn't feel any pain at all, he raised his hand and rejected the wound medicine that Huo Qingyu handed over, and he didn't even have time to hastily bandage it.

"Qingyu, thank you, I'll go and see Ruofan first!" As he said that, he rode away directly, with dust flying up.

Looking at Gu Huai's back without turning his head, Huo Qingyu stood on the horse and stood in place with deep eyes for a long, long time.

When Gu Huai arrived, Gu Ruofan had already been rescued from the ground by the guards and placed in a temporary tent.

Only after seeing it with my own eyes did I know how badly the man was injured when he ran to hunt the bear.

His pale face was bloodless, and he was dressed in white, but his back was soaked in blood, like a beautiful flower blooming.The blood flowed out along the arrow, and the flesh and blood turned outwards, which was extremely frightening.

Standing in the tent, all the blood in his body poured into his scalp, looking at Gu Ruofan's pale face without a trace of blood, seeing that pair of usually clear and gentle eyes now closed lifelessly, looking at the slack on his back. An arrow with an extremely sharp handle that penetrates extremely deep into the bone.

For the first time, Gu Huai, the decisive, cold and cruel Crown Prince of Southern Chu, felt fear.

A fear that goes deep into the soul.

"Your Highness...this...you can't shake the prince violently..." The imperial doctor who hurried over stood aside with a medicine box, looked at Gu Huai who had a gloomy expression, and said tremblingly.

"Draw the arrow! Why don't you draw the arrow!" Gu Huai stood up suddenly, his eyes were bloodshot, pointed at Gu Ruofan's sweaty face, and said coldly.

"...This arrow is shot too deep. If it is not done well...I'm afraid it will hurt the internal organs, and my life will be lost..." Considering his tone, the imperial doctor was sweating profusely, and Gu Huai was terrified. His momentum was so shocking that he couldn't speak.

"Could it be that it hurts him so much?" Gu Huai grabbed the imperial physician's clothes, almost suppressing his anger, and said darkly.

"He is my life, he is dead, none of you can live."

With dark eyes, suppressing the gushing panic, Gu Huai knelt down and stared at the unconscious Gu Ruofan.

On the shoulder, where the black bear had grabbed off a whole piece of flesh just now, blood dripped down the black clothes, Gu Huai didn't seem to notice it.

"Your Highness...your shoulder..." The imperial physician beside him stepped forward with trembling hands, trying to bandage Gu Huai first.

Taking a deep breath, Gu Huai tried his best to calm down his voice.

"How sure are you to draw the arrow?"

"...three floors"

Even in a coma, Gu Ruofan's brows were tightly frowned, his complexion was pale, dripping with cold sweat, as if he was enduring great pain.

Gu Huai's heart tightened.

"Your Highness, although the arrow is shot from the back, the force is too great. If the strength of the arrow is slightly unstable, it may hurt the heart, and there is no way to recover..." The imperial physician saw Seeing the arrow wound on Gu Ruofan's back, he could only speak hesitantly.

Stretching out his hand to smooth the wrinkles between Gu Ruofan's brows, Gu Huai remained silent.

At this time, Gu Huai still didn't understand.

I, who had never changed my color before Mount Tai collapsed, unexpectedly saw Gu Ruofan lying there as pale as paper, lifeless, with a bright red behind him, so panicked that he almost lost his mind.

Of course, under the current situation, his head was in a mess, and he didn't have the time to think about his abnormality.

It wasn't until later that he finally realized it.

In his entire life, Gu Huai had been sitting on the top of the world, aloof, extremely deep in the city, and extremely indifferent.

But as long as he meets Gu Ruofan, even if he makes steel every day, he will turn into soft fingers in an instant.

The existence of some people is like this, he is your weakness and your armor.Even though you are as hard as iron and proud of all living beings, once you meet him, even a frown is like a thorn in the flesh, making you sleepless and hard to restrain.

"I'll draw the arrow." After a long silence, Gu Huai's expression seemed to have completely calmed down. He took the dagger from the guard and tore off the clothes on his left arm. The blood hadn't been treated for too long. The solidified, dark red blood scab was on Gu Huai's shoulder, coupled with the man's extremely cold face, which seemed to be completely painless, it was inexplicably terrifying.

At the moment when he held the arrow handle, Gu Huai felt for the first time what hesitation and intolerance were.

As if feeling something, Gu Ruofan murmured a few times in a coma, with a pained expression, profuse sweating, and his face was as pale as paper.

"Ruofan, don't be afraid, trust me." Gu Huai held the arrow handle in his hand, as if even breathing by himself could move the arrow handle, pulling Gu Ruofan's flesh and blood.

He turned his face away, he couldn't bear to look at it.

Talking to Gu Ruofan is not so much comforting him, but comforting himself.

On Gu Huai's face that was always aloof and extremely cold, there was a crack, unbearable, heartache, and complicated and incomprehensible emotions mixed together.

Almost all the imperial physicians, guards, and palace personnel standing in the tent were silent.Until later when Gu Huai ascended the throne as emperor, some people mentioned today's events by word of mouth, recalling Emperor Huai of Southern Chu, such a man who was born to be above the world and was decisive in killing and attacking all over, unexpectedly showed such an expression.

He couldn't bear it.

Even though it wasn't me who was hurting, it seemed to be more uncomfortable than my own experience.

Gu Huai lowered his eyelids, pursed his lips, and focused all his attention on the arrow in front of him. He became ruthless, gritted his teeth, and pulled out forcefully.

Blood flowed.

Gu Ruofan felt a sharp pain.

The imperial physician immediately stepped forward, and after examining it, he finally showed a relieved expression, turned around, and bowed respectfully, "Your Highness, sprinkle the golden sore medicine, and the prince will wake up before tonight."

Gu Huai has been guarding in front of the tent.

An accident happened to Gu Ruofan, and an assassin appeared in Nanshan Hunting. Gu Hongwen was furious and ordered a thorough investigation of the matter, and the assassin was bound to be found out.

Gu Huai didn't pay attention either. In his eyes, Gu Ruofan's safe waking up is the most important thing. As for the assassin, a stern light flashed in the man's eyes.

Silently looking at Gu Ruofan's closed eyes, pale as paper face.After pulling out the arrow, he couldn't move randomly, so he didn't even change the blood-stained white clothes. The mottled blood reflected the bloodless face, which was extremely frightening.

Gu Huai didn't even change his posture, and kept that posture all the time, sitting in front of the tent, refusing anyone's visits, and guarding Gu Ruofan quietly.

I don't know how long it took until the dusk fell.

feel sleepy.

Gu Ruofan felt pain in his body.

Slowly opening his eyes, the first thing he saw was Gu Huai's figure.

"...cough cough, Ah Huai?"

Hearing the sound, Gu Huai's eyes lit up suddenly, and he leaned over to hold Gu Ruofan's hand, and gently stroked his forehead. Feeling that there was no sign of fever as the doctor said, he slowly let go of his heart.

"How is it? Does it hurt?"

Gu Ruofan's head was in a daze, and he was silent for a long time before he finally came to his senses, "Did I get hit by an arrow?"

Hearing this, Gu Huai's eyes suddenly darkened, as if mixed with some violent wind and rain.He shook Gu Ruofan's hand, "I have already sent someone to investigate, and I will not let anyone go."

Don't let anyone who hurts you feel better.

Gu Ruofan didn't speak, and raised his head to meet Gu Huai's dark eyes, feeling the warmth from his palm, his heart skipped a beat, and there was a strange yet familiar sour chest pain.

"What's wrong with your shoulder?" Although it was already night, Gu Ruofan still saw the bloody wound on Gu Huai's shoulder at a glance, and he didn't even bandage it.

Holding down Gu Ruofan's movement of getting ready to sit up, Gu Huai shook his head, his voice was low and firm, "I'm fine, I'll go bandage up in a while."

Gu Huai sat in front of the tent, quietly staring at Gu Ruofan's pale face, and after a while, gently lifted the quilt covering him up a little.The rare gentleness in the eyes, the cold and sharp outline, softened a bit in such a smile, "Go to sleep for a while."

Gu Huai pursed his lips. When Gu Ruofan opened his eyes and called him Ah Huai, he didn't even know how to describe the feeling in his heart at that moment.

The ecstasy of lost and found.

The emotions that were stirring in his chest were forced to be suppressed on his face, Gu Huai looked at Gu Ruofan quietly and did not speak.

"Looking at you like this...I can't sleep."

Gu Huai, who felt that tonight was very different, had a hazy mist in his eyes, and was a little at a loss. He adjusted his body, but accidentally touched the wound.

"hiss..."

"What's wrong? Did you touch the wound?" Gu Huai sat up suddenly, lowered his head to fix Gu Ruofan's body so that he would not move around.

The eyes meet, and those who are close can even feel each other's breath.

Gu Huai's black eyes were burning, looking into Gu Ruofan's eyes, they were as deep as water.

Being stared at by him like this, Gu Ruofan's expression became a little dazed, and a heartbeat in his chest jumped up uncontrollably.

Gu Huai stretched out his hand, and slowly covered Gu Ruofan's eyes with his palm.

The man's voice was low, as if he was afraid of disturbing something, and he murmured softly, as if it was a low-alcohol wine.

"Ruofan, when I saw you got hit by an arrow today, I felt like my heart stopped beating."

"When you pulled out the arrow for you, you were frowning and sweating profusely."

Gu Huai said to himself, Gu Ruofan was blindfolded, only heard the man's deep and slow voice echoing in the air, his heart jumped up inexplicably.

"I was thinking how nice it would be if instead of hunting bears I was by your side."

Gu Huai lowered his head, and under the candlelight, Gu Ruofan's face glowed with a warm yellow light, which seemed to be due to excessive blood loss. His lips were extremely pale, but unexpectedly, Gu Huai's heart beat extremely fast, as if Bewitched by something.

Come closer, come closer, come closer.

Slowly covering those pale pale lips.

"I seem to know what is the reason for today's abnormality."
