Before Jing Yubai walked to the imperial palace, he saw Shen Shao coming out.
He was supported by the two servants, limping on his feet, holding a phoenix decree tightly in his hand, but the expression on his face did not show the slightest sadness, but a bit of joy, as if carrying infinite hope and joy, In this silent night, both eyes became bright.
He didn't see Jing Yubai, so he walked outside and thanked the two servants, "The two father-in-laws go back, I'm fine."
Knowing that what he did today would definitely make Emperor Qingxi unhappy, he also did not want to implicate others because of himself.
Those two servants had received his favor before, otherwise, they would not have helped Shen Shao to go on such a trip when they knew that Shen Shao's future was uncertain... But that was the only way. The two responded lightly, then let go of their hands and let Shen Shao walk forward alone.
When they turned around, they saw Jing Yubai. Looking at the new noble in the court and the son of a noble family, the two hurriedly stepped forward and greeted him, with a humble and respectful voice, "Sir Shaoqing."
"Um."
Jing Yubai nodded and looked at Shen Shao's leaving figure, his voice was as warm as jade, "Master Shen, is he okay?"
The two are the servants of the Emperor, although De'an is not as good at figuring out Emperor Qingxi's mind, but they are not stupid people who have served for so many years. They will listen to people's inquiries and hesitate to open their mouths, "Although Your Majesty has not spoken yet. , but I think the future of Lord Shen will not be good after coming here."
He added softly, "The princess said just now that she doesn't want to see Lord Shen again in the future."
If they were in the capital, they could always meet them in the future, so they could only send people out.
Thinking about it, Lord Shen is also pitiful. After finally accumulating merits outside, he won the eyes of His Majesty, and he was mentioned in Beijing as the second-in-command of the Metropolitan Court. Now this happens again.
If he is sent out again this time, I am afraid that he will not be able to come back in this life.
One of the inner servants couldn't bear it, and sighed softly, "Sir Shen, why is this, for a woman... ruining his own future, and also offending His Majesty and the princess."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was gently pulled by another servant.
The man knew he had made a blunder, and hurriedly lowered his head, "Sir Shaoqing, the servant will report to you for you."
Jing Yu Bai smiled, his face didn't change, he thanked his fellow man, glanced at the direction where Shen Shao was leaving, then withdrew his gaze and walked in.
At this time, the Dingguo Gongfu.
Gu Yu fell into a drowsy sleep last night and woke up this evening. Knowing that his illness must have caused his grandmother to worry again, after waking up, he asked someone to talk to his grandmother first, and learned that Manman and Qilang were also here yesterday. , and then someone sent a letter to them, asking them to be relieved.
I was busy with this business, so I leaned back on the lead pillow, took the soup and medicine handed over by Qiuyue and used it slowly, while taking the medicine, I asked, "What did grandma talk about yesterday?"
Qiuyue replied in a low voice, "The old lady asked you to go to Fengyang."
The movement in Gu Yu's hand paused for a while, but she was not very shocked. Soon she took the medicine again, and her voice was calm, "I may not have seen my grandmother for a long time, it's better to go to Fengyang... It's just like a tired grandmother. At my age, I have to work hard for me everywhere, which is really unfilial."
After she finished speaking, the medicine in her hand was also finished.
Handing it to Qiuyue but no one picked it up, she looked up and saw her look panicked, and frowned again, "What's wrong?" She dropped the soup bowl in her hand on the table beside the bed and asked her, "But there are still other things?"
When Qiuyue heard this, she bit her red lips and seemed to be hesitating, but she finally knelt down.
"you,"
Gu Yu frowned and reached out to help someone, "Okay, what is this for?"
"Miss… "
Qiuyue blushed and said, "Slave, I'm afraid I have done something wrong." Facing Gu Yu's doubtful eyes, she gritted her teeth and told her about what happened last night. She blamed herself: "The slave didn't want to say it at first, but the slave can't bear it anymore."
"You paid so much for Young Master Shen, but he doesn't know anything."
"Slave really can't bear it, this is..."
"you!"
"You are confused!" Gu Ting turned his back and coughed in anger.
Seeing her like this, Qiuyue's heart tightened. She hurriedly walked over to pat her on the back, but was knocked down by Gu Yu. She had accompanied Gu Yu since she was a child. "Miss… "
Gu Yu ignored her, coughed for a while, then turned to look at the person, and said in a hoarse voice: "We are going to Fengyang, why do you want to make extra arrangements? He has already been given a marriage, and I have made it clear to him. You know what kind of temper Shen Shao is, if you let him know, how can he marry Changping?"
"He finally regained his footing in the capital, and he has a bright future ahead of him. You, you are at this time..."
"If you don't talk about Shen Shao, what's wrong with Changping?"
"You have seen her before. Although she is from a royal family, she is extremely generous. I was fortunate to hear her call her sister. If I delayed her, how would you like me to see her again, goodbye savage?"
"Slave..."
Qiuyue wanted to argue, but couldn't tell, and in the end she could only cry with red eyes: "You always think about others, why don't you think about yourself? ... Doctors are wondering why you have been eating delicious food in recent years, neither sad nor happy, but your condition has gotten worse."
"The slaves are just not happy!"
"Why do they get everything they want, you are the only one who suffers so badly."
While wiping away her tears, she said in a hoarse voice, "The old lady thinks that you have left the capital and gone to Fengyang. If you are far away, you will be fine, but ask yourself, are you really all right? This servant doesn't want to look at it anymore. If you go on like this, why, why can't you live easier!"
"When you and Lord Shen were together, you were obviously so happy."
"Miss—" Qiuyue cried and held her hand, "The slaves have grown up with you since you were a child. If you say something disrespectful, the slaves would rather you live easily for a few years, and do not want you to be trapped all your life!"
"In the beginning..."
Gu Yu seemed to be a little stunned, probably thinking of his former self.
She was born with a disease from her mother's womb. She knew from a young age that she couldn't play like other brothers and sisters. When others were chasing and making trouble, she was used to reciting Buddhist scriptures with her grandmother in the Buddhist hall... But she also had a happy time. day.
She and Shen Shao had known each other since childhood, and later went to school together.
When I was young, there were always people who were greedy and longing for.
she…
not excluded.
But she has self-knowledge and knows that she is not in good health, no matter how much she likes it, she has never had any delusions... Who would have thought that her delusions, her greed, her longing would one day confess to her.
At first, she refused.
But Shen Shao looked gentle and jade-like, but his temper was extraordinarily stubborn, but she would never look back on what she believed... She was still too young at that time, and she had an expectation in her heart, so she was with her like this.
She was really happy during that time.
I am so happy that I have an unstoppable smile on my face every day, and I am so happy that I wake up in the middle of the night with a dream.
But the result
Gu Yu lowered her eyes, looked at the hand held by Qiuyue, and sighed in a low voice: "At the beginning, I was still young, now..." She closed her eyes, opened them again, and said solemnly, "You tell someone to give I have a carriage, and I have to go out."
She had to stop Shen Shao and couldn't let him do something irreversible.
She is already like this, and no one can accompany her into this abyss.
"Miss… "
Qiuyue persuaded: "You just woke up, and your illness is still not healed..."
Gu Yu said firmly: "Go!"
Qiuyue wanted to persuade her again, but she was a little afraid to see Gu Yu's face. As soon as she stood up, she heard footsteps behind her... Gu Yu always only let Qiuyue wait by her body, and no one else dared to come in without orders.
The master and servant followed the sound, and when they saw Shen Shao, their expressions changed.
Gu Yu was even more panicked, "You... When did you come here?" Thinking about the things in the past, he already knew it. It was not a big problem for people to hear what he said just now. He frowned again, just now. When I wanted to say "you shouldn't come", I noticed that something was wrong with his legs.
"Your leg… "
Her face changed, and she didn't care that she was still ill, so she got out of bed in a hurry. She didn't even have time to put on her shoes. When she got close, she realized that not only did he have problems with his legs and feet, but he even had a small hole on his forehead, which he could see even after cleaning. After a few bloodstains appeared, Gu Yu's heart tightened, and he quickly held the man's arm, "You, what happened?"
Seeing her in such a hurry, Shen Shao was happy.
It's been too long since he saw anything other than cold and respectful expression on this face, but his eyes fell on her bare feet, frowned again, and regardless of Qiuyue's presence, he directly hugged him. , put it on the bed and wrapped it with the quilt, and then said with the person: "Your health is not good, you are not afraid of catching a cold?"
Qiuyue quietly went out.
How could Gu Ting take care of anything else? Seeing people like this, a few thoughts ran through his mind, and he said anxiously, "What the hell did you do? What happened to the injury on your head and your leg?" After she finished speaking, she didn't see Shen Shao answering, only saw people staring at her for a moment.
It seems to be filled with endless joy and contentment.
She frowned and was about to speak, when she was hugged.
The man's arms hugged her tightly, and a slightly hoarse voice sounded in her ears, "Ah, I know, I'm sorry for you."
"You..." Gu Yu was dumbfounded, and then said in a low voice, "You didn't blame me. At the beginning, I did it of my own accord. Don't blame Old Shen Furen, she's not wrong."
Hearing these words, Shen Shao'er felt even more grief in his heart.
How stupid is he to doubt Ah Tho's intentions for him? She is obviously such a good person, and even now, she still blindly speaks to others. His eyes were a little red, he couldn't help it, and tightened his arms again.
It seems that the only way to be sure that he is not dreaming is to hold the person tighter.
"You haven't told me yet, what's the matter, are you..." Gu Ting had a bad guess in his heart.
really-
The next moment she heard someone say, "I have already told Your Majesty."
As Shen Shao said, he took out the phoenix decree that he was holding all the way, "This is given to me by Princess Changping, A-Chu..." He looked at her with bright eyes, like a child under the candlelight , holding his purest heart and showing it to the people he likes.
"We can finally be together."
"We... can finally be together."
The joy in the first sentence, the bitterness in the second sentence, and the two identical sentences fell into Gu Yu's ears, causing her eyes to suddenly turn red.
"Why are you doing this?"
Gu Yu looked at Shen Shao with clear eyes, and sighed in a low voice, "You obviously have a bright future, is it worth it to sacrifice everything for me?"
"It's worth it." Shen Shao said without any hesitation, he held Gu Yu's hand and pressed it against his face, like a cold person absorbing the only warmth, his eyebrows were soft, and he looked straight at her, "Ayi, fame Lilu is just the icing on the cake for me, only you are what I want in my life."
"Don't push me away again."
He said it a little pitifully, and even played a rogue, "I have nothing now, only you."
Gu Yu's eyes were a little complicated.
I don't know how long it took before she said softly, "... idiot."
half a month later.
Shen Shao was deprived of the position of deputy censor of the Metropolitan Prosecutor's Office and sent to a small county in Jiangyin to be the magistrate. Whether he knew it or not, he felt that Shen Shao was crazy, and he didn't want to put aside a great future, but he just sighed a few words. .
There are also people who are speculating on who Shen Shao is doing such a disrespectful thing for.
But no matter how they checked, they couldn't find it.
And on the day Shen Shao left the capital.
Dingguo's mansion also came out with a carriage, and it was said that the second lady of the Gu family went to Fengyang to visit her grandmother.
…
city gate.
Gu Wuyou looked at the distant carriage, and his mood was still very low.
Seeing her like this, Li Qinyuan, who was holding her shoulders, comforted her softly: "In a few years, when His Majesty and the others have calmed down, uncle and second sister can still come back... Even if they can't come back, we can go too. visit them."
Looking at the shriveled face of the man in his arms, he was worried again.
In just over ten days, Gu Wuyou visibly lost a lot of weight. She never thought that the person in Shen Shao's heart would be the second sister. Her Changping... She was in trouble for the first time in her life.
If you can't eat or sleep well, you will naturally lose weight.
She didn't know what to say or whether the outcome was good or bad.
Just thinking of her previous life, Changping Youri suddenly asked her, "What kind of person is the second Miss Gu family?"
At that time, Changping had already married Shen Shao, and she had also married Li Qinyuan. She didn't know why Changping suddenly asked about the second sister, but she only knew that her face was a little ugly that day... Later, she also Having met Shen Shao and Chang Ping several times, I always feel that the smile on Chang Ping has not been so bright since that day.
Maybe this outcome is good for the three of them.
Changping deserves a person who treats her wholeheartedly and deserves an unblemished love.
And the second sister...
Thinking of the sadness in her life, and there were few moments of relief, Gu Wuyou also hoped that she would be well, at least not to pass away in such a gloomy and unhappy way as in the previous life, and glanced at the carriage that went away, she gently held Li Qinyuan's Hand, looked away, and said to him, "Let's go."
"it is good."
The departure of Shen Shao and Gu Yu did not cause any splash in this huge capital.
Only Chang Ping was mentioned a few words in private, but it also hindered the majesty of the Tian family, so he did not dare to talk about it... Days passed by like this, Gu Wuyou received a letter from Gu Yu a month later, saying that it had already been done. to Jiangyin.
After all, His Majesty was kind enough to not assign Shen Shao to a place of extreme suffering.
Although Jiangyin has a long way to go, it is better than civilized people and simple people. Gu Tui said in the letter that he opened a small private school and taught some children to read and write, so that she could feel relieved... Gu Wuyou was able to pass the few sentences in the letter The words saw the second sister's happiness, and the big stone in her heart finally fell.
But just when she was writing to reply to the second sister's letter, the news that Bei Di sent troops came from outside.
