The Road to Peach Blossoms

Xuanwu Kingdom, Forbidden City, Imperial Palace, Dungeon.

Gu Haiyan came out of the dungeon in a dazed and dazed state and was once again woken up by the pepper water. There was no pain anywhere on his body, and no part of his skin was intact.He hadn't even seen Bei Chenjin's face. Before the effect of Ruanjinsan was cured, he had gone through a series of tortures. His mind was in chaos. Only Jue'er's innocent smiling face scattered in the spring breeze when he was young It played continuously in fragments in my mind: Brother Gu Qi~ From today onwards, you are my new reading companion!

Smiling eyes, smiling, pitiful, wronged, angry, cute and arrogant... every frown and smile, he loves all of him to the bottom of his heart.

The jailer put down the bucket and ruthlessly swung his whip again.It seemed that a new round of torture was about to begin.

At this moment, the heavy door of the dungeon suddenly opened, and a figure walked slowly against the thousands of lights.

Gu Haiyan closed his eyes weakly.

The man casually ordered the jailer to untie the chain, stood in front of him covered in bruises, pinched his chin forcibly, and let out a soft snort, the hot air sprayed on his cheeks, making the hairs all over his body stand on end slightly.

"Look at your distressed look."

Gu Haiyan still closed his eyes and did not speak.

Bei Chenjin didn't care either: "I'll still say what I said before, if you're willing to admit that you don't like Jue'er, I can let you go."

——To be as ruthless as autumn wind sweeps fallen leaves to enemies, especially rivals in love.

The rules of survival since he was a child told him that compassion for the enemy is cruelty to himself, and Bei Chenjin has long lost his original innocence and soft-heartedness in the long-term murderous scheme.If Gu Haiyan admits that he doesn't like Jue'er, then he has failed from the bottom of his heart, and he can't even pass his own test. At this time, it makes no difference whether this love rival exists or not.

Bei Chenjin let go of the hand that restrained him, took out the silk from the sleeve robe, and slowly wiped the five fingers of her right hand four times before throwing away the silk; the silk fluttered into the dark and damp dungeon Bei Chenjin stomped on the ground and crushed her hard.

Gu Haiyan still ignored him, looking disgusted even to look at him.

Yes, if he didn't open his eyes, he could see Jue'er smiling back at him, but when he opened his eyes, he had to face this vicious and vicious man.Everyone knows how to choose.

Bei Chenjin saw that he looked like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, suddenly became furious for no reason, he swung his hand and slapped Gu Haiyan hard, Gu Haiyan's face was turned to one side, and even half of his cheek swelled up quickly.Bei Chenjin still felt puzzled, her chest heaving up and down sullenly.

"Why do you want to live in this world, why do you want to get in the way of my eyes?!"

The jailer was already trembling with fear, and the moody young emperor seemed to have completely lost his usual calmness.But without the emperor's order, he couldn't escape in advance.But something even more terrifying happened. The prisoner who was tortured half to death spoke, and he taunted half-happily and half-crazily:

"Have you shown Jue'er what you look like, Bei Chenjin?"

Hearing these words, Emperor Xuanwu's anger swelled up like a balloon that was about to blow up, but the jailer waited tremblingly for a long while, covering his head, and then opened his eyes to see that the emperor's anger disappeared again inexplicably, and his expression remained the same. Calm, with no emotion in his deep, pitch-black eyes.

— moody!Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger!

The jailer's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe that a person's mood could change so much in a short period of time?He touched his chilly neck, feeling sad in his heart, fearing that his life would be lost at any time.

"What do I look like?" Bei Chenjin repeated softly, almost whispering, "Gu Haiyan, do you think you look good? When others praise you as gentle as jade, elegant and timeless, do you really believe it?"

"Otherwise, what do you think?" Gu Haiyan laughed inexplicably, "Could it be that you are a hideous and hideous devil who has been devoured by jealousy beyond recognition? Jue'er doesn't like me, but still likes you?"

Unrecognizable, ferocious and ugly?

What would happen if Jue Er bumped into him like this?

Just thinking of such consequences for a moment, Bei Chenjin's eyes darkened, his body shook slightly, his hands trembled and slowly clenched into fists, and the veins on the back of his hands jumped out violently.

"Gu Haiyan, let's wait and see." He tried his best to calm down, and slowly let go of his fists under his sleeves, because he had already thought of a brilliant idea, a brilliant idea that would make Gu Haiyan irreversible.

Five days later, Emperor Xuanwu ordered Gu Haiyan to be released.

A palace official handed him an exquisite silver mirror. The silver mirror clearly reflected his ugly and disgusting face like a ghost. There were countless red, swollen and large pustules on his face that was originally elegant and jade-like. As soon as he touched it, disgusting pus flowed out. In the mirror, his eyes were filled with unbelievable and extreme panic. He opened his mouth, but no sound came out; he lost his strength and couldn't hold the silver mirror, which moved forward The ground hit the smooth floor with a loud noise, but he seemed to come back to his senses suddenly, pushed the palace man away, and ran out of the palace in a panic.

Gu Haiyan staggered and staggered through the street, his hair was disheveled and his clothes were disheveled, he just kept his head down the whole time, but he didn't want to collide with the pedestrians opposite. The pedestrians just wanted to say something, but when they saw his terrifying face, they felt bad luck , Without saying a word, he pushed him away cursing and left.

He staggered and fell to the street, subconsciously trying to cover his face, but he was still seen by many people. They pointed at him, and a little boy was scared and cried and only called mother, I am afraid.

How to do?

Gu Haiyan closed his eyes and collected himself. He stood up slowly amidst the pointing of pedestrians. When pedestrians saw him stand up, they had to give way and walked out of the encirclement. He came all the way to Taiwei's Mansion.

Taiwei's mansion is now very desolate, and two big seals are pasted on the Zhumen.

Gu Haiyan lifted the seal expressionlessly, and calmly entered the Taiwei's mansion under the gaze of passers-by.

"What did he do in the Taiwei's mansion?"

"Didn't the whole family of the Taiwei's Mansion be overthrown last autumn? There is no one there anymore."

"Poor Young Master Gu Qi..."

"...how many girls' male god he was back then..."

"It seems that only Mr. Gu Qi was not executed. If...he escaped to my house, I might..."

"Tsk tsk, just dream about you! Don't forget that you still have a husband and children. Does the male god like you?"

"I hate it! You can't let me have a dream! After all, the smile of the male god at the beginning can really be remembered forever!"

"Shh! Stop talking, let's go!"

"But... this ugly monster..."

"The Holy One will deal with him, this is not something we can manage."

After Gu Haiyan closed the door tightly and put the latch in place, he leaned against the door panel, but he lost his strength and slowly slid down to squat down on the ground. He listened to the whispers outside the door, but couldn't help but bury his face in his arms Li, the corners of his eyes are moist.

A good man does not cry; a man does not flick his tears easily.

But... Bei Chenjin is really cruel/venomous!

His face was completely destroyed, and he seemed to be unable to make a sound, and became a mute.

In this way, even if he can find Jue'er, Jue'er will never recognize him, and even if Jue'er is willing to recognize him, does he have the face to recognize him?The only way left is to commit suicide in a place where no one knows.

This was what Bei Chenjin hoped for, and it made him ten thousand times more uncomfortable than killing him directly.

As for...the legend about the shark bead and Guanyin tears in the legend, it is really unbelievable; besides, it is just a legend, and the unit price of a shark bead is enough to reach sky-high prices, unless...unless he sells his property, but The souls of his father, mother, brothers and sisters have not gone far, and he did such a thing, it is really...

While thinking about something like this, there was a louder commotion outside, the door of the Taiwei Mansion was pushed open forcefully, and a large number of officers and soldiers poured in. They pretended to ask first: "Who is that?" Trespassing on a forbidden place?"

Then he pretended to have just discovered Gu Haiyan, and cursed loudly: "Where did you come from? This place is sealed?! Is this a place for you to stay?! Get out of here!"

The tall and strong officers and soldiers directly grabbed him with a pair of iron tongs, lifted him up, and roughly pushed him outside.

Gu Haiyan staggered and fell again, accompanied by the sneer of the officers and soldiers, the onlookers let out a burst of shouts.But he brushed off the hem of his clothes calmly, stood up by himself, kept his head down, didn't argue with them, and left here without hesitation.Regardless of the common people who had always looked at him strangely, he kept leaving the Forbidden City.

Heifenglin.

He went around in the forest, and he saw a tall tree with a horizontal branch that looked very strong. He tore a strip from his clothes, tied it to the branch, and picked it up again. There were many stones on the soles of his feet. He pulled the cloth strip under his neck and kicked the stones away.

however--

The strip of cloth was torn suddenly, and he fell directly, hit his head on the stone, and passed out unconsciously.

In a coma, he quietly had a faint smile on his lips.

In the first year of Tianbao, Jichun.Xuanwu Kingdom, Forbidden City.

After "that incident", the Forbidden City was considered calm for a while.A few months ago, in order to keep his youngest son safe, Chu An, the Prime Minister of Chu, had to exile his son out of the city overnight, hoping to avoid the limelight in the barren land on the border.Therefore, after a few months, the matter of the Ninth Prince's accompanying reading had to be put on the agenda again, which needed to be resolved urgently.

Chu Xinglan, the youngest son of the Chu family, was the former companion of the Ninth Prince. Because of a big mistake, he was exiled overnight by his father.Gu Taiwei intends to let his son compete for the position of the Ninth Prince's companion. The Ninth Prince is really favored by the Holy Family. Being his companion is only good. Not only can he show his face in front of the Holy One, but he can also have a good relationship with the Ninth Prince. There is no need to say more about the benefits to the future official career.Among these sons and daughters, only the seventh son, Gu Haiyan, made him the most proud, and he also wanted to push him the most in this matter, but the attitude of the seventh son really made him puzzled.He knew that the Seventh Prince's character was somewhat disinterested in associating with these dignitaries, and he especially didn't like those delicate and domineering children from aristocratic families. When he hadn't met the Ninth Prince, his attitude towards the Ninth Prince had always been lukewarm.

"I've already explained the truth to you!" Gu Taiwei blew his beard and stared at him authentically, "How many children from aristocratic families have fought so hard to do this companion reading, you really don't want to go?"

Gu Qi didn't pay attention to his father.

Gu Lian walked up and down the room irritably, and suddenly thought of a good idea: "If you don't go, father will not agree to your marriage with that child He Qing!"

Xiao Qi has always been close to the young lady of the Chu family, and they often walk around.

Gu Qiyi frowned: "My son has nothing to do with her, you were the ones who got married at the beginning; we were just exchanging literature and literature, and she is more transparent and intelligent than ordinary men."

Gu Lian winked at him: "You have praised her like this, and you still say it's nothing?"

Gu Qi helped his forehead helplessly: "Father, what are you thinking? My son really has no love for He Qing."

"Father doesn't believe in any pure relationship between men and women." Gu Taiwei stroked his beard and proudly raised his chest, "After all, father and your mother were..."

"Cough cough!"

Suddenly there was a warning cough from behind, Gu Taiwei was startled, he turned around quickly and saw his wife glaring at him dissatisfiedly, so he had to put on a flattering gentle smile: "Madam, look at our son, don't listen His father's words from the bottom of his heart! This kid used to listen to your words, you persuade him..."

Mrs. Gu moved lightly with lotus steps, knelt down in front of her son, raised her face and looked at him softly, she gently stroked his son's cheek, and said in a gentle voice: "Yan'er, are you and Qing'er good friends? Is it a family friend?"

Gu Qi looked down at his mother: "Yes."

"Then do you think we should help them?" Mrs. Gu gently guided him, "The Holy Majesty has not yet decided what to do with that child Xinglan, but you know how important Xinglan is to Uncle Chu, if you become His Highness Ninth Prince If you speak a few words in his ear, and His Highness Jiu whispers a few more words in the ear of the Holy Master, maybe Xing Lan will be able to escape, and even return to the capital. After all, His Highness Ninth Prince is kind, and he Although your ex-partner made a big mistake, he will definitely not ignore it. Who is His Highness the Ninth Prince, you will know after a little contact with him? You... don't be afraid to contact people, you only know your mother, father, brother and sister You and He Qing are not allowed."

Gu Qi lowered his eyes, his eyelashes trembled slightly: "...OK."

Mrs. Gu smiled softly, with pride in her son in her eyes.

Gu Qi also laughed.
