For the next few days, the servants of the East Palace were all trembling.The princess has not spoken to the prince for several days.Although they still eat at the same table and attend classes together, they are no longer the same as when they laughed at Yan Yan at the beginning.

It is raining lightly, and the misty rain wets the green leaves and flowers, and the tiny water droplets condense. The air is full of moisture and moisture, and the distant scenery becomes hazy, as if a light is caged. yarn.

Gu Mingheng stood at the bottom of the steps, with his back to Azheng and Ayu, his eyes didn't know where he fell, "How is it these days?" He asked lightly, there was water vapor blowing down his hair and clothes along with the wind.

"Nurse Wu only administered the medicine to His Highness's meal once, but the people in the dining room discovered it and replaced it quietly." Ah Zheng reported back.Although Gu Mingheng was very indifferent to Lu Chengning during this period of time, he was still extremely cautious and considerate in every aspect.

"Well, well done." Gu Mingheng nodded after hearing this, "Be careful, I don't want any problems, and report back to me if there is any situation." After speaking, he walked towards the Chongwen Museum.

Walking through the corner of the corridor, I saw Lu Chengning walking in the same direction, followed by Jiang Bai and Wu Mama.Gu Mingheng stopped suddenly, and stood aside with his head slightly bowed.The faint shadow cast by the palace lantern hanging on the eaves of the corridor fell on him, making him dim.

His eyes fell on the wood grain on the ground, and he didn't look at Lu Chengning.

Jiang Bai stopped walking and saluted Gu Mingheng, he stopped when he wanted to say something, sighed, and followed quickly.Nanny Wu, who had been following Lu Chengning all the time, took a few steps forward, and suddenly turned her head to look at Gu Mingheng who was still standing still, with a slightly pale look on her face.

Seeing that she was full of sarcasm and smiles, Gu Mingheng didn't change her expression, and continued walking with the book, but kept a certain distance from Lu Chengning.

His figure was walking slowly in the long corridor, his frost-colored clothes swaying lightly, and his sparse but straight back suddenly made people feel sad.

When get out of class was over, Lu Chengning had already left with Jiang Baixian.Gu Mingheng put down the pen after writing the last word, and moved his wrist.Looking up, he saw Zheng Ruyuan was still sitting on the chair, looking at him.

"Teacher." Gu Mingheng stood up and said respectfully.

"Mingheng, I would like to ask, what happened to you and Your Highness recently?" He looked at Gu Mingheng's expression with concern, a little puzzled.On the day of the Qushui Liushang Wenhui, because he was the proponent of the Wenhui and needed to stay until the end, he did not go back to the East Palace with Gu Mingheng.

But what happened that day that made the relationship between the two of them suddenly stiff like this?

The most obvious thing is that Gu Mingheng no longer called "Lu Chengning", but respectfully addressed him as "His Royal Highness".

Gu Mingheng paused when he was packing the rice paper, he hesitated for a moment, and then said bitterly, "It's just that I suddenly discovered that, as the teacher said, he is the prince of Dayong." He stood up and silently faced Mr. Zheng Li, holding the book and rice paper in one hand, left the Chongwen Museum.

Zheng Ruyuan watched his frosty clothes disappear outside the door, twisted his beard and sighed.This child is still obsessed with too much, and his temper is twisted, and he doesn't know if this is good or bad.The emperor is ruthless, and the one who gets hurt in the end is the one who uses emotion after all.

Feeling a little emotional, he casually threw a few books into the bamboo basket and picked them up.To untie the bell, the person who tied it must be needed, so the old man should not get involved.

Gu Mingheng returned to the side hall, washed his hands with warm water and dried them, added a little water into the inkstone, and slowly rubbed the ink.His brows and eyes are calm, very focused, not disturbed by other affairs.

After that day, Gu Mingheng ordered Jiang Bai to clean up the side hall next to the Prince's sleeping hall, and moved here directly, and lived here during this period of time.But just in case, Gu Mingheng still left Ah Zheng in the Prince's bedroom.

Gently rolling up his wide sleeves, Gu Mingheng wrote ink on the paper stroke by stroke, his white porcelain-like wrists were bent and in beautiful shape.It took about two hours before he put down his pen.Everyone in the world knows that the ninth son of the Gu family in Puyang has only painted flowers and birds since he started to paint, not portraits.

But at this time, on the rice paper with wet ink in front of him, there was a boy in bright yellow clothes drawn.He was lying on the boulder by the lake, his brows and eyes were in a daze peacefully, the path beside him was full of fragrant flowers, and the sun was pouring down.

Gu Mingheng looked at Lu Chengning in his memory, and there was a complicated expression in his eyes for a moment, it seemed to be nostalgic and sad.

Ah Ning, I don't know how to untie this knot in my heart, just like I don't know what kind of existence Wu Mama is in your heart, so that you can directly and firmly want to protect her and prevent me from hurting her she.

So, if it is me who will die one day, will you protect me like this?

You must have been able to do it in your previous life, right?What about this life?I don't know, I have long since lost such certainty.

Gu Mingheng curled up his mouth and smiled inexplicably, tore the finished painting into pieces and threw them into the celadon altar.No matter what, I will fulfill my promise and help you ascend to the throne. That is what you deserve and what you must get.

With a slight twist of his wide sleeves, he turned and left the front of the desk, his black hair fell down on his increasingly thinner back, like a strong bamboo in the wind, neither bent nor bent, but something was missing.

When eating at noon, Gu Mingheng entered the main hall on time, and saw that Lu Chengning was already sitting at the main seat, and Madam Wu was serving him dishes.Gu Mingheng looked at the table full of delicacies, stopped in his tracks, and his eyes turned cold.

The people in the dining room waiting at the side saw him enter the hall and knelt down in panic, their faces turning pale.According to the rules, if the crown prince did not directly order the banquet to open, then the food could only be served after the crown prince arrived.This is the rule of the East Palace.

But this time, after the crown prince took the throne, Madam Wu kept urging him.His Highness did not speak, the manager of the dining room weighed it over and over again, and ordered all the dishes to be served on the table.

Recently, anyone with a discerning eye knows that Nanny Wu has regained the trust of the prince and served the prince directly.What is subtle is that the relationship between the crown prince, whom the crown prince has always relied on, and the crown prince has become estranged, even cold.

This kind of situation made many people start to be puzzled, and some palace servants who were always the most able to act according to their master's color began to curry favor with Madam Wu again.After all, she is the prince's nurse, and this will not change.

But this time, the palace attendant in the dining room looked at Gu Mingheng's sinking expression, and his legs trembled a little.

"Your Highness, did you order the food to be served?" Gu Mingheng asked Lu Chengning standing at the door.Lu Chengning looked at him when he heard his voice, without nodding or shaking his head.

Seeing that the people in the dining room were winking at her, Madam Wu said boldly after thinking about it, "Your Highness is hungry, so the servants first called the dining room to deliver the food." She was always a little apprehensive towards Gu Mingheng, Didn't even dare to look up.

"Here, it's not your turn to speak." Gu Mingheng glanced at Nanny Wu, and said again, "Your Highness, did you personally order it?" His eyes fell on Lu Chengning and did not move away.

The people in the dining room saw the crown princess's unwillingness to change their posture, glanced at Madam Wu and cursed a few words in their hearts.I sighed in my heart, it seemed that this punishment was inevitable.

"Those who should be punished should go to Jiang Bai to receive the punishment. Besides, Jiang Bai encouraged the master to break the rules of the Eastern Palace. You can do it according to such a slave." Gu Mingheng didn't say much, turned around and left Main hall, walk towards the direction of the side hall.

He didn't know why he suddenly lost his appetite. He just felt very tired. The exhaustion soaked his bones and muscles, making him feel like he couldn't hold on any longer.

Aning, do you understand in your heart?

After he walked out of the palace gate, Lu Chengning, who hadn't reacted at all, stared at the place where his back disappeared, and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Seeing that Gu Mingheng was not eating, Ayu ran to the small kitchen and brought a plate of pastries, which looked very delicate.Gu Mingheng put down the book in his hand, lay on his side on the couch and rubbed between his brows, "Put it there, I'm not hungry."

"Young master, no matter how uncomfortable you feel, you can't be hungry anymore." A Yu handed the snack plate in front of Gu Mingheng, his eyes were full of expectation, with hints of worry, "Young master, it seems that Zainu made a special trip to the small kitchen For the sake of such hard work, how about a taste?"

Gu Mingheng shook his head, stretched out his hand to take a piece, and glared at him with a smile, the depression in his heart suddenly dissipated a lot.

"Master, is it delicious?" Seeing that he finally ate a piece, Ayu made an exaggerated sigh of relief, while scratching the back of his head, "Master, you don't know, brother, he said before he left, if If you don’t take good care of you, son, and make you feel bad or eat or sleep well, then when brother comes back, slave will not be simply skinned.” He said and made a cut Neck gesture.

The three of them can be said to have grown up together, so they didn't care so much in private words.Gu Mingheng nodded, "Understood, I thought Ah Yu was worried about my body, but now I realize that I am just afraid of Ah Zheng's blame."

"Young master! Ayu's heart for you is a lesson to be learned from the sun and the moon!" Ayu roared exaggeratedly, and put his three fingers together to make an oath.Seeing that Gu Mingheng laughed sincerely, he was also very happy in his heart.

At this time, the voice of the palace servant reporting suddenly came from the door, "Report to the princess, the prince is here." After speaking, the voice of opening the door.Gu Mingheng's smile froze on his face.After a pause, Gu Mingheng stood up, straightened his clothes casually, and said softly, "Come on."

Only Lu Chengning came in, and Ah Zheng, Wu Mama, and even Jiang Bai didn't follow.Seeing this, Gu Mingheng felt a little annoyed, and left His Highness alone, so what if something happened on the way?

Thinking of this, I was stunned again, what happened to me?

Seeing the crown prince approaching, Ayu led the palace attendants to wait outside the hall, turned around and closed the door.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's noon now, it should be time to have lunch with Ah Heng after returning from the Chongwen Museum, and I can arrange other things in the afternoon.But Ah Heng wasn't there when get out of class was over, nor was he there when eating.

why?Ah Heng did not tell Ah Ning that the timetable should be changed.After half an hour, it will not be time to eat after noon, why doesn't Ah Heng eat?

More sharp voices came from my ears, voices I had never heard before, and there were people I had never seen before. Why did they talk to Aning?very noisy!Why should Aning listen to them?No!Ah Ning is going to find Ah Heng, to find Ah Heng——

Ah Heng is there!Who is speaking loudly again?Ah Ning couldn't hear Ah Heng's voice!Where is Ah Heng?I can't find it - where is A-Heng - it hurts so bad, my ears hurt so bad, my throat hurts so bad, my hands hurt so bad, Ah Ning don't hurt!Ah Ning wanted to find Ah Heng——

"Your Highness?" Suddenly the pain stopped, everything disappeared, it was Ah Heng, it was Ah Heng's voice, was he calling Ah Ning?But Ah Ning is clearly called "A Ning", why did Ah Heng call her "His Royal Highness"? Who is "His Royal Highness"?

Ah Heng came over, why didn't she hold Ah Ning's hand?Why ignore Aning?Why do you keep calling him "His Royal Highness"? Who is "His Royal Highness"?Who is Ah Heng calling?

Gu Mingheng looked at Lu Chengning with some concern, he stared at himself closely, biting his lips with his teeth, with a strange expression on his face, as if he was suppressing something.

"Your Highness?" Gu Mingheng called many times, but Lu Chengning didn't respond. Gu Mingheng stopped talking. Did Aning no longer want to pay attention to me?

After a long time, Lu Chengning suddenly pulled him to the desk, then picked up the pen, dipped in the ink and wrote stroke by stroke. His hands were steady and his expression was focused.

After writing a few sheets of paper, Lu Chengning picked up the rice paper and handed it to Gu Mingheng, with an expression of waiting for praise.

Gu Mingheng flipped through them one by one, and found that they were all words and sentences in the Thousand-Character Classic that he taught him, and the handwriting was much improved than before.After thinking about it, he still praised, "Your Highness's writing is very good."

After listening to Gu Mingheng's words, Lu Chengning's bright eyes gradually dimmed. The word was clearly written by Aning, why did Ah Heng praise "His Royal Highness"?He should have praised "A Ning".

The words were written by Aning——

Lu Chengning felt a sharp voice suddenly ringing in his ears, he covered his ears tightly and squatted down.
