Chapter 183 Thoughts, Changes...
The sky gradually became darker, and Qu Feiyan rubbed his arms.
It is much colder at night than during the day, but two hours have passed and the princess is still inside.
Thinking of Jin Lehuang's experience, Qu Feiyan felt a complicated and inexplicable feeling again.
Not long after, footsteps suddenly sounded behind him. Qu Feiyan immediately stood up and turned around: "Princess..."
"Go to Huo Wenwu's house and tell him that the princess wants to see him! Ask him to come to the villa at the right time!"
Qu Feiyan was shocked when she heard this.
Huo Wenwu, one of the deputy commanders of the Imperial Guards.
When did his princess get in touch with the Imperial Guards? And it was Huo Wenwu, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards.
The imperial guards of the Great Xia Imperial City total 50,000 people, with one commander-in-chief and five deputies. Their main responsibility is naturally to guard the imperial city. How could the princess of our family actually extend her hand to that place?
The essential……
Judging from what the princess said, Huo Wenwu will definitely obey her orders.
After the slap in the face during the day and what happened just now, Qu Feiyan gradually felt that his princess seemed like a different person. He didn't dare to ask more questions, but just lowered his head and said, "I'll do it right away!"
……
Ning'anfang, the former residence of Gu Jingzhi.
Chen Yu stood under the eaves, quietly looking at Gu Jingzhi who had been sitting in the yard for the entire afternoon.
Ever since Gu Jingzhi came here, he has been sitting in the yard without saying a word, not eating or drinking, and not allowing anyone to disturb him.
Chen Yu felt a little distressed.
Although this man had not yet carried her back to the mansion, he had nothing to say to her.
Not only was the expenditure on equipment of extremely high standards, but the servants said that the standards were comparable to those of Gu Jingzhi. However, Gu Jingzhi had always been frugal and disliked extravagance, so the expenditure on equipment was exquisite and not excessive.
Compared to the luxury of the aristocratic families... it certainly can't compare, but even so, it is a hundred times more comfortable than their life in the Chen family.
This man even made a secret recipe to regulate his body.
You know what, in just those few days, even though it was already winter, she felt warm.
Although they had only known each other for a few days, Chen Yu was deeply touched by Gu Jingzhi's warmth. She had already decided that as long as Gu Jingzhi did not despise her, she would be willing to stay with him for the rest of her life.
Chen Yu felt gusts of cold wind coming. She raised her head and looked at the dark night sky. There was something floating in the air.
"Snowing?"
Chen Yu was slightly stunned.
The first snow of this year fell in this scene. She hurried back to the house and came out with a cloak in a short while. She walked quickly to Gu Jingzhi and put the cloak on him.
"Sir, it's snowing! You'd better go back to the house!"
"Snowing?"
Gu Jingzhi came back to his senses. He reached out to take a snowflake, and a hint of coolness came from his fingertips.
A blurry picture appeared in my mind.
"I remember the first time I saw snow. I think it was when I was two years old. My mother was standing inside the pavilion, and I was stumbling along..."
A hint of a smile appeared on Gu Jingzhi's face, but after a while, the smile gradually disappeared, replaced by endless melancholy.
He said, "After that, I never saw my mother again. I was locked up in the mansion all day long, with only an old servant by my side!"
When Chen Yu heard this, he also knew that Gu Jingzhi's mother passed away when he was two years old.
"A few months ago, Old Huang also passed away. He was murdered... I know who the enemy is, but he won't let me take revenge. What do you think I should do?"
"Is that person... His Majesty?" Chen Yu asked hesitantly.
Gu Jing was startled and looked up at her: "How could you guess it was His Majesty?"
"you……"
Chen Yu shook his lips and said, "I heard Xian'er and Yue'er say that you, my lord, are an official in the court. You are not afraid of the prime minister or the noble families. You behave according to your own preferences and public spirit..."
"I think carefully, if you really are like this, then the only ones who can restrain you are your family or His Majesty!"
"Then why can't it be the crown prince or the prince?"
"will not!"
Chen Yu shook her head: "Although I am a woman, I also know that a wise man like you will definitely not get involved in the royal family's disputes!"
"hehe!"
Gu Jingzhi took her hand and chuckled, saying, "It seems I was right. You are indeed a smart person!"
"It's just something I feel."
Chen Yu shook his head slightly.
Although the Chen family is not as powerful as the royal family, there are disputes within the family. In those disputes, the ones who suffer are often the servants or those insignificant people.
Only those who do not participate in it can protect themselves.
Gu Jingzhi heard this and knew that it touched upon some of her past memories. He thought for a moment and said, "It's getting late. You should go back to your room and rest!"
Chen Yu nodded silently.
Gu Jingzhi stood up, brushed the snow off her shoulders, and said, "The New Year is coming soon. After the New Year, I will ask my mentor to marry you back home!"
"Marry?"
Chen Yu was slightly stunned.
Gu Jingzhi was talking about marrying, not taking her in as a concubine.
Although there is only one word difference, the difference is huge.
Looking at Gu Jingzhi's back, she couldn't help but shout, "Sir..."
"what happened?"
Gu Jingzhi turned around.
"If you, my lord, want to do something for the people of this world as an official, I think you might as well follow your heart!"
"If one's inner self is not clear, how can one be steadfast in serving the people of the world?"
"If you are content with just getting by, your current position and authority will naturally be enough to ensure a worry-free life. However, if you want to remain true to your original intention, you will have to overcome all difficulties..."
Gu Jingzhi trembled all over when he heard this.
He has always been reluctant to produce Zhao Zhongli's confession, simply because once his identity is confirmed, his plot against the Gu family will not be morally condemned.
But Emperor Xia couldn't help but think more about it.
He is the descendant of a general from the Yun Kingdom, and Jin Lehuang is the princess of the Yun Kingdom. In the eyes of others, their positions are naturally the same.
Even if they are different, there is still a sense of connection.
Nowadays, people with a discerning eye only think that Jin Lehuang has a close relationship with the prince, and they don’t know everything behind her. Gu Jingzhi has had interactions with the prince before, and with this connection to Yun Country, it’s natural that he, Gu Jingzhi, must be the prince’s man.
Actually, it's nothing.
But Emperor Xia is still in good health now, and it is not acceptable for the emperor to have him come into contact with the crown prince too early.
After all, he is not a big shot like the Prince's Third Master.
Contacting the prince too early... Emperor Xia would certainly not want to see this, especially since he is a descendant of the Gu family. There are still people like Wu Song at the border. Even if Gu Jingzhi is loyal, the emperor will still restrain him.
Looking back at the thousands of years of history of the Great Celestial Empire, there has never been a capable monarch who would trust a minister wholeheartedly.
"My dear, no matter whether we are rich or poor in the future, since my heart belongs to you, I will never let you down. Just do your own thing..."
In the silence, Chen Yu's voice was heard again.
But this time the name has changed.
Gu Jingzhi looked into her sparkling eyes and smiled: "I know!"
