Gu Pan Lanling

"What are you thinking, Ah Mo?"

"No... didn't think about anything..."

Gao Xiaolin picked up the water bag, took off the plug, and handed it to Gu Zimo, "Drink some water. When we get to the town ahead, let's find an inn to rest and buy you some delicious food to nourish your body."

Gu Zimo took a sip from the water bag, then lowered his head, feeling inexplicably empty.

Gao Changgong was so sure at the time that he would not let him go to see Gao Xiaolin.

Why am I in Gao Xiaolin's carriage now...

How did Xiaolin convince Gao Changgong?

"Ah Mo, are you feeling unwell? Would you like to stop the carriage for a rest?"

"No, I'm fine...I'm just..." Gu Zimo knew it wasn't appropriate to talk about Gao Changgong at this time, but he still wanted to figure out what was going on.

"What's the matter? Ah Mo and I don't have to hide it, just say what we have..."

Gao Xiaolin held Gu Zimo's hand, and noticed that his palms were full of sweat, "Ah Mo, I don't want you to hide your worries from me... tell me, is that okay?"

"Since you asked, let me tell you, Xiaolin, your previous injury was caused by Gao Changgong?"

Gu Zimo asked suddenly, Gao Xiaolin's complexion changed slightly, her eyes flickered, and she said after a while, "Actually, my injury..."

"Did he do it?" Gu Zimo asked Gao Xiaolin again when he saw Gao Xiaolin hesitating and frowning.

"I was not careful..."

"So, it's probably not him?" Gu Zimo was so worried about Gao Xiaolin at the time, that's why when he found out that Gao Xiaolin was injured, he would suspect Gao Changgong.

But just now he suddenly remembered that when he questioned Gao Changgong, Gao Changgong was at a loss.

Just as Gao Changgong objected to him going to see Gao Xiaolin, if Gao Changgong really did it, he has no reason to react like that.Therefore, Gao Xiaolin's injury is probably not caused by Gao Changgong.

"It shouldn't be the fourth brother. After all, it was the fourth brother's arrangement for me to take you away. The fourth brother is actually a very good person."

Gao Xiaolin said to Gu Zimo in a gentle voice.

Gu Zimo's heart throbbed with pain.

"He really let us go?"

But Gao Changgong clearly refused to let him meet Gao Xiaolin at that time, what exactly made him change his mind?

"Can you tell me everything that happened after I fell into a coma..."

Gao Xiaolin nodded, "If you don't ask, I'll tell you too. How could you be so stupid? To be with me, you cut your wrists and committed suicide. Do you know how dangerous it is for you to do this? I have saved you, I am afraid that I will never see you again in this life..."

With tears in her eyes, Gao Xiaolin leaned on Gu Zimo's shoulder, and said in a crying voice: "The fourth brother probably saw that you were moved by you when you cut your wrists to commit suicide just to be with me, that's why you let you be free and happy." I will fly away together...

Ah Mo, I really didn't expect that you would do this for me, with you loving me so much in this life, Lin'er has nothing to ask for..."

"It's because of this..."

Gu Zimo couldn't describe his mood at the moment.

Was Gao Changgong moved because of his suicide?

For some reason, Gu Zimo suddenly remembered the time when he was injured by gangsters in Yecheng, and Gao Changgong took care of him personally afterwards.

Suddenly, he noticed something was wrong.

It shouldn't be like this. Under normal circumstances, after Gao Changgong suffered such a serious injury, even if he intended to help himself and Gao Xiaolin, he would not let himself and Gao Xiaolin leave in such a hurry.

Could it be that something else happened?

"Xiaolin, turn the carriage around, let's go back to Quanyong City, shall we go back?"

Gao Xiaolin's hand holding Gu Zimo's arm froze suddenly, she raised her head, and looked at Gu Zimo in surprise, "Ah Mo, we came out with great difficulty, why did you..."

"I don't know, I don't know why... I feel very uneasy, something happened, something must have happened, Xiaolin, I must go back!"

Gu Zimo's eyes were firm, and Gao Xiaolin's hand holding his arm suddenly loosened weakly.

"Amo, do you know what it means for you to go back now? You are going to throw yourself into a trap. If the fourth brother changes his mind, you and I will never be able to leave again. Do you know what you are doing?"

"I know, but I have to go back, Xiaolin, Gao Changgong... If you really change your mind, don't worry, I will protect you with death and let you leave safely..."

"Amo, why are you so stupid! You..."

"Xiaolin, I'm sorry, if you don't want to go back, I'll just go back by myself and let the carriage stop here."

Gu Zimo was about to get up as he said that, but fell back into the carriage due to excessive blood loss and fatigue.

The tears in Gao Xiaolin's eyes finally couldn't hold back, "Fool, Ah Mo, you are such a fool."

Taking a deep breath, Gao Xiaolin wiped away her tears, and said to the groom outside the car, "Go back to Quanyong City."

It has been a few days since I returned to Quanyong City.

For some reason, Gu Zimo felt that the entire Yongcheng was inexplicably depressed even though he had not been away for a long time.

The original excitement had long since disappeared, but when the carriage stopped at the gate of the Lanling Palace, when he got off the carriage and saw the dilapidated traces of the Lanling Palace, he suddenly understood something.

something happened... really something happened...

If it wasn't for something serious, how could Gao Changgong let him leave.

He suddenly remembered the words Gao Changgong once said: "If one day, this king can no longer keep you, he will definitely set you free."

"Your Highness! Your Highness—"

Gu Zimo shouted loudly, but no one responded to him.

Gao Xiaolin got off the carriage, took a cloak and put it on for him, "Ah Mo, fourth brother should not be in Quanyong City anymore..."

"What happened! What happened..."

"Although I don't know what happened, it must be a major event. Otherwise, Fourth Brother's palace wouldn't be like this... Ah Mo, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time, let's leave quickly..."

"No, I won't go, I won't go..."

Gu Zimo pushed Gao Xiaolin away, and walked towards the palace, Gao Xiaolin chased after him, "Ah Mo, don't go."

Gu Zimo did not stop, as if he was not afraid of the palace in front of him, even if it was Yama Hell.

The scenery of the past in the palace has long since disappeared, not to mention a single figure, not even a trace of life.

The vegetation was withered and covered with dust, and even the plum trees in the courtyard were all withered.

When he came to the familiar Mo Garden and Gong Garden, the furnishings inside were still the same, but there seemed to be something that could never be restored.

"Your Highness... Your Highness... Zimo is back, where are you... where are you..."

Gu Zimo squatted on the ground beside the couch, staring blankly at the corners of the room.

Gao Changgong likes to sit on the chair by the window and read a book the most. When he reads a book, he is always used to frowning, seemingly serious, but he always finds that he is making small moves, and even pokes himself abominably.

That Gao Changgong who would read in his room until late, and would come in through the window and get into his bed...

I always feel that he will suddenly appear again, just like in memory, with a cold face, as if everyone owes him, but he will always tuck the quilt warmly for him.

However, Gu Zimo stayed here for three days and three nights, but he never saw him again.

"Your Highness...Your Highness...you really...won't come back?"

Before Gu Zimo felt his consciousness disappear, there seemed to be a familiar figure shaking his shoulders. He really wanted to see that face clearly, but he couldn't see anything.

When he woke up, he was already lying in a clean and tidy inn.

Rubbing his dizzy head, the door was pushed open, Gao Xiaolin walked in with the soup, saw that he woke up, and heaved a sigh of relief, "Ah Mo, you scared me to death..."

"Xiaolin... why am I here? Am I not in the Lanling Palace? I..."

Wasn't the familiar figure seen in the palace at that time Gao Changgong?

"You can't go there anymore, the palace has been sealed up, and now there are heavy soldiers in charge, so you can't get close."

Gao Xiaolin blew on the decoction and handed it to Gu Zimo. Gu Zimo took it, "I'll do it myself."

Gao Xiaolin watched Gu Zimo drink all the medicine, and then she showed a smile.

Gu Zimo looked preoccupied, and after a long time, he said, "Xiaolin, can you help me find someone?"

"Of course. Who are you looking for?"

"Chang Qing, you should know."

"He, no problem, I'll get someone to invite him here." Gao Xiaolin got up and walked out.

Gu Zimo leaned against the bed, frowning deeply. Will Chang Qing know what happened?

Gao Changgong, where did he go?

Why is the palace ruined like this?

Could it be that someone in the court made trouble?

But Gao Changgong had a heavy army in his hands, so he shouldn't have been hit so hard in just a few days.

In the end what happened……

Gu Zimo couldn't imagine what happened these days.

He could only guess like this, but he couldn't think of anything.

When it was dark, Gao Xiaolin opened the door and walked in.

Gu Zimo didn't see Chang Qing, Gao Xiaolin shook her head at him, "I'm sorry, Ah Mo, I couldn't find Chang Qing, he and his family seem to have disappeared suddenly... Going to Gu's house, your parents and the others... all disappeared..."

"Even Chang Qing is gone..." Chang Qing, who was the only one who could get a clue, also disappeared.

Gu Zimo's heart became heavier and heavier.

Gao Xiaolin sat beside him and held his hand: "Ah Mo, the whole Yongcheng is in chaos right now, if we continue to stay here, I'm afraid there will be many problems. Otherwise, we will leave here first, and wait The storm has calmed down and we are coming back..."

Gu Zimo didn't answer Gao Xiaolin. After a while, Gao Xiaolin said again: "Perhaps, we can go to Yecheng and find a chance to inquire about the situation. Maybe we can find out what happened! Now we stay in Here, I can't find anything, and I'm just worrying in vain."

Gu Zimo's eyes finally regained some clarity. He looked at Gao Xiaolin, saw Gao Xiaolin's sincere face, and nodded, "Let's go to Yecheng."
