A thousand years

Chapter 40 Disappointment

Since returning from hunting in Nanshan that day, Gu Ruofan didn't know how to face Gu Huai. Since entering the palace at the age of 13, the two have been in the same palace, but now, Gu Ruofan deliberately avoids Gu Huai every day, and they don't see each other for a month.

Gently stroking Xuan Bing's scabbard, looking at the scrolls on the case, Gu Ruofan was inexplicably agitated.

It had been several months since he had seen Gu Huai, and he seemed to feel his dodge, and he never took the initiative to appear in front of him in the past few months, as if...waiting for an answer from himself.

However, he sent people to bring his favorite ancient books and classics, but it never stopped for a day.

Shaking his head, he tried his best to clear out the complicated emotions in his mind, lowered his head and immersed his mind in the open book, and after a short look, Gu Huai's sharp-edged face, with burning black eyes, It actually appeared in front of my eyes again.

He closed the book with a snap, a trace of embarrassment appeared on the man's usually gentle face, he stood up and walked out.

"Hey, have you heard that His Majesty is in poor health, and seems to be thinking about finding a Crown Princess for His Royal Highness."

"Yes, yes, I've also heard that the crown prince is already in his prime, but he is still unmarried. I don't know which family's daughter will be so lucky this time."

"I heard that she is the eldest lady of Prime Minister Huo's family!"

Gu Ruofan didn't go far when he heard a few court ladies muttering in a group, frowned, and was about to walk away, but was attracted by the words "His Royal Highness".

Is the princess...

Indeed, Gu Huai is already a weak crown. Normally speaking, a crown prince at this age should already have a concubine and a group of wives and concubines, but Gu Huai is an odd number.And now that His Majesty is not in good health, I'm afraid that something might happen... So, find a suitable concubine for Gu Huai now, and when he ascends the throne, he can be the mother of the country and the world at the same time. Cursing the corners of her lips, Gu Ruofan thought to herself that she should indeed become a concubine.

The maids who were talking about their master raised their heads and saw Gu Ruofan standing in front of them. They were all so shocked that their faces paled, and they all fell to their knees in panic.

Waving his hand to signal that he didn't care, Gu Ruofan raised his head and looked at the sky above him, it was gray.

I'm afraid it's going to rain.

Sure enough, when Gu Ruofan returned to the dormitory, it was already raining heavily, his hair and clothes were wet from the rain, his white clothes were wet, and he looked quite embarrassed.

As soon as he stepped through the door, before he had time to change his clothes, he was interrupted by a cold voice.

"Why are you going out of the palace when it's raining?" Gu Huai stood up and walked in front of Gu Ruofan.

Since hunting in Nanshan, they have not seen each other for three months.Naturally, he could feel that Gu Ruofan had been avoiding him since that night.Therefore, apart from collecting his favorite books and sending them here, he has not set foot here for three months.

However, after three months, after three months, the first thing Gu Huai saw was the man's body drenched by the rain.

Anger couldn't help steaming up from his belly, Gu Huai frowned and looked at Gu Ruofan, did he take good care of himself?

Perhaps it was because the anger in Gu Huai's eyes was too obvious. Although Gu Ruofan didn't understand where the man's anger came from, he looked at him condescendingly with anger in his eyes, and suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, and he couldn't breathe. There is a kind of inexplicable grievance and discomfort.

"What's the matter with you?" Gu Ruofan frowned, suppressing the anger in his heart, and the words turned into such sarcastic words.

Hearing the man's words, Gu Huai's brows were furrowed even tighter, his eyes were piercing, those deep eyes stayed firmly on Gu Ruofan's face, looking at the man's refusal to look at him, the corners of his lips sneered speak out.

I haven't seen him in three months, God knows how surprised I was when I first saw him.These days, ever since he recognized his own heart, Gu Huai's mind will always be filled with the gentle and smiling appearance of this man in white.But the alienation and disgust that flashed in Gu Ruofan's eyes just now made his chest ache.

"Ruofan..."

For some reason, Gu Ruofan thought of what he had just heard outside about Gu Huai's going to marry the princess, and felt that there was a stuffy spot in his chest. He was inexplicably agitated, and abruptly interrupted Gu Huai's words.

"My clothes are still wet, so I'll take my leave first. Your Highness, do as you please." As he said that, he bowed and was about to leave, but was grabbed by an extremely domineering force.

Gu Huai's face was gloomy, looking at the side face of the man with drooping eyelids and refusing to look up at him, and Gu Ruofan's voice calling him His Highness in a very alienated word just now, he laughed angrily.

Grabbing Gu Ruofan's chin, there was a biting cold in the cold eyes, and there were subtle injuries.

"You call me Your Highness" Gu Huai's face was gloomy. Since he came to him at the age of 15, now it has been four years. Ask yourself, he cares about him in every detail. All the warmth is given to the person in front of him.But today, he calls him His Highness!

Hunting in Nanshan, he saw how much he missed his dead father under his indifferent appearance. He even went through all kinds of troubles to find the finger wrench that Gu Yuan lost back then. After finally getting it today, he couldn't help but came to look for him !

Gu Ruofan felt a pain in his chest when he was provoked by his tone, he gritted his teeth, raised his head and refused to speak.

Seeing Gu Ruofan pursing his lips, hairline wet by the rain, slightly embarrassed but stubbornly refusing to look at himself, Gu Huai's throat tightened, he grabbed the man's head suddenly, leaned over and kissed him fiercely.

The black eyes bursting with a little bit of anger stared closely at the person in front of him, Gu Huai only felt that his heart was full of anger and hurt, and his heart was stuffed with pain.

Even if he refuses to accept his own feelings, so what? Gu Huai has been extremely proud all his life, and how could he possibly force the person he truly loves?

He is considerate of everything, wishing he could put all the things he wants and should have in front of him.

Well, he doesn't want to see himself, even if we are in the same hall, he can give him peace of mind, and suppress the longing in his heart not to see him.

why

Why do you show such disgust at yourself?

The fire in Gu Huai's heart was burning more and more, he lowered his head and bit the man's lip fiercely, tossing and turning, without any tenderness, completely punishing and plundering.When the eyes shifted to the painful face of the person in front of him, a trace of sadness and injury could not be suppressed in Gu Huai's heart.

Gu Ruofan, who was overwhelmed by another sudden kiss and his mind went blank, was awakened by the pain from his lips, and suddenly pushed Gu Huai away.

His eyes, which were usually gentle and clear, were burning with anger at this moment.

"Are you crazy enough?"

The black eyes were burning, Gu Huai's eyes were tightly locked on Gu Ruofan's face, his thoughts were turned, and the complicated and difficult emotions could not be calmed down in his mind for a long time.

After a long time, he finally sighed, and slowly raised the corners of his lips, smiling bitterly.

"It's the king who was rude, my son forgive me, this kind of thing... will not happen again in the future."

Feeling the wound on his lips, Gu Ruofan took two steps back, bowed his head and said in a deep voice: "I heard that His Highness is going to accept a concubine. To avoid suspicion, I'd better move out."

As soon as these words came out, Gu Huai's eyes sharpened suddenly, and he stared closely at Gu Ruofan, "You want me to accept the concubine?"

Suppressing the complex feelings in his heart, Gu Ruofan took a deep breath, clenched his hands under his sleeves tightly, raised his head to meet Gu Huai's gaze, and nodded word by word: "Your Highness is already in the weak year, so naturally you should Na Fei."

"Okay, okay, okay." Gu Huai took a deep breath. Anger, confusion, and injury flashed away in his black eyes. He gritted his teeth, suppressed all his emotions, and slowly Raising the corners of her lips, the light that burst out from her eyes was cold and lifeless.

He waved his sleeves away without looking back, and didn't even look at Gu Ruofan again.

When Gu Huai left, Gu Ruofan blinked slowly. Sure enough, it would be a bit cold if you didn't change your clothes in time after getting wet.

The clenched fist loosened, he felt a little cold, it was strange, there was a sharp pain in his chest, but he was surprised, it seemed that it was normal to feel such pain.

Walking to the desk in the middle of the bedroom, he sat down slowly, even forgot to change his clothes, and let the water drip off his body.

Shaking his head, his mind was in chaos. Just before Gu Huai left, the look he gave him was cold, disappointed, angry, and shocking.

Why is he looking at himself like this?

By what

Gu Ruofan was taken aback when his eyes touched a protruding object placed on the desk.

He didn't have it before he went out, but now it appears... that's what Gu Huai left behind

Opening the wrapped silk cloth, Gu Ruofan froze there.

finger wrench!

He recognized this finger wrench...it was a gift from his mother to his father, but it was accidentally lost.Gu Ruofan once mentioned it to Gu Huai by accident, but now, it unexpectedly appeared on his desk intact, and even the crack on a corner that his father accidentally knocked on was exactly the same as back then.

He came today...to give himself this finger wrench

Gu Ruofan stood there suddenly, holding the finger in his hand, feeling complicated and unspeakable in his heart. The expression on Gu Huai's face before he left was still in his eyes, piercing his heart like a sharp thorn.

"What's your business"

"The minister's clothes are still wet, so I will take my leave first. Your Highness is free."

"I heard that His Highness is about to accept a concubine. In order to avoid suspicion, I'd better move out."

"Your Highness is already in a weak year, so naturally you should accept a concubine."

Gu Ruofan, who had calmed down, finally realized what he had said from the beginning to the end, hearing every sentence in his ears!

He clearly didn't think so, he clearly didn't want to move out, he clearly didn't want Gu Huai to accept Concubine...

This thought suddenly appeared, Gu Ruofan's face suddenly turned pale, he stood there, his whole body was cold, his mind was dizzy and deafened by the sudden thought.

He didn't want to let Concubine Gu Huai get married, and he didn't want a strange woman to appear in this palace.

He didn't want Gu Huai to get married!

So...does he also like Gu Huai?

Shocked, complicated, joyful, bitter, all emotions rushed to my heart.

When Huo Qingyu stepped into the hall, what he saw was Gu Ruofan's frowning and smiling, and then shaking his head bitterly.

"My lord, are you alright?"

"Qingyu..." Gu Ruofan was pulled back to reality by Huo Qingyu's voice, and was startled. When he looked up, he saw Huo Qingyu standing in front of him. He couldn't help asking, "Why are you here?"

Although Huo Qingyu is the son of the prime minister, this is the prince's palace, so he shouldn't appear according to common sense.

Hearing this, Huo Qingyu replied with a smile: "Your Majesty summoned my minister and father into the palace today, thinking that since the last time I left Nanshan, I have never seen my son again, so I came to have a look."

Reluctantly pulling himself together, Gu Ruofan smiled at Huo Qingyu. The last time he gave him Xuanbing, Gu Ruofan naturally remembered it in his heart and was very grateful.

As if unintentionally, Huo Qingyu looked at Gu Ruofan's somewhat pale smiling face, then shifted to the finger wrench he was holding in his hand, his eyes darkened, subtly gloomy, and then quickly changed into a bright smile, as if Small talk is average.

"In the future when my sister marries into the palace, there will be more and more chances for my minister to meet the prince."

Gu Ruofan frowned, "married into the palace"

"That's right, did your son hear what His Highness said? Your Majesty intends to marry my sister to His Highness and become the Crown Princess of Southern Chu."

As soon as these words came out, Gu Ruofan's complexion suddenly turned pale again, and he raised his head with some reluctance, "That's right, it's a great event for the Huo family..."

Taking Gu Ruofan's expression into his eyes, Huo Qingyu smiled but not a smile, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and when Gu Ruofan raised his head, he put on a smiling expression again.

"By the way... I forgot about it. I wanted to be quiet just now, so I sent out all the palace people, and made you stand for so long without a cup of tea." Gu Ruofan stood up and prepared to give Huo a cup of tea. Qingyu pours tea.

Huo Qingyu stopped Gu Ruofan, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.

"My son, I am here today because I have something very important to tell you."
