When Sheng Ling woke up, it was already night.
She sat up from the bed in a daze, and was dazed for a while. Finally, she remembered something, and slowly covered her cheek. She breathed silently for a long time, and finally slowly lowered her hand.
Sheng Ling sat on the edge of the bed, raised his head slightly and looked out the window. He raised his fingers and gently wiped the wet tears from the corners of his eyes. He tried his best to open his eyes wide and prevent himself from falling into sadness again.
She calmed down and opened her mouth to summon the people below to come in for questioning.
After the servant came in, he told her that a carriage had brought her back, but the coachman did not say who told him to take her back, only that he was a very handsome young man.
After hearing this, Sheng Ling didn't say anything. He just said "I know" and slowly lay back down.
She clutched the corner of the quilt to wrap herself up a little warmer, but she still felt very cold, so she hugged the quilt even tighter. She turned her head and looked out the window, seeing light rain falling outside, and the air was cold and cold. It's quite cold.
Sheng Ling closed her eyes. For a moment, she wanted to lie down and fall asleep instead of waking up like this.
She also wanted to comfort herself, but in the end the only excuse she could give herself was that winter was coming, which was why it was so cold.
…
The yard was covered with rotten leaves, which were wetted by the rain falling from the eaves. There were a small row of small puddles on the ground, but the yard was exceptionally quiet. Apart from the sound of rain, there was no sound around.
Li Yu sat on the stone pier beside the door, lowering his head slightly to look at a piece of transparent snow-white jade in his hand. His fingertips gently rubbed the sharp edges of the jade. In the center of the jade, there was a beautiful engraved feathered bird.
A man came out of the door, looked at him and lowered his head and sighed: "Actually, the past has long passed, and you don't have to keep it in mind. It's just that you and the princess from the North are not the same people after all. It’s better to leave.”
Li Yumo rubbed Yujue, his eyes were warm and indifferent, but without focus, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he said in a very soft voice: "I destroyed her innocence."
When Gu Chengxuan heard this, his face darkened, and his whole expression became a little fierce: "Li Yu, do you know what you are doing?"
Li Yu slowly leaned against the door, closed his eyes, and said slowly and casually: "In this way, she can remember me forever."
"She is Princess Shengling!"
Li Yuleng snorted and said nothing. He stood up and walked into the rain.
Gu Chengxuan stopped him with a stern face, "You go back to your mother, she can arrange a way out for you."
Li Yu's eyes became even colder, "My mother, she died long ago."
"You can hate your mother for abandoning you and the king, you can hate her for betraying the king and remarrying Prince Zhou, but she was pregnant with your brother back then. If she didn't leave, she would have killed two people."
Li Yu raised his eyes coldly: "So the fact is that she can leave her husband and son for a little bastard."
"Li Yu, Gu Xue Kingdom has been destroyed. You must recognize the fact clearly."
"I recognize it clearly, so I live well, isn't it uncle?" Li Yubing raised his lips and smiled coolly.
Gu Chengxuan was silent for a moment, and then continued to speak slowly: "Prince Zhou has been very good to your mother over the years. They found out that you are still alive and have already set off from the fiefdom to the north city."
Li Yu narrowed his eyes: "Uncle told them?"
"If not, are you allowed to continue doing this nonsense? Li Yu, some things cannot be understood by just looking at the surface."
Li Yu remembered that day on the street, when Gu Chengxuan called him "Li Yu" from the carriage. He was completely stunned. He forgot to avoid it for a moment, and was knocked to the ground. His head was broken and bleeding, and all his memories came back to life. , he never told his uncle. At that moment, he felt worse than death, and it was more uncomfortable than death.
Because he discovered that as Ayan, the person he was thinking about was Sheng Ling, who Li Yu thought he could escape from body to heart after playing tricks.
During the days when he lost his memory, his whole heart was filled with Sheng Ling.
It was the person he thought he would never take to heart.
He opened the notebook, and every word in the notebook was related to Sheng Ling, and every word was about liking Sheng Ling.
He remembered the sweet smile the little princess gave him, and every time he waited quietly outside the academy, waiting for her seriously and willingly.
Looking back on those scenes, every scene was something Li Yu could not accept about himself.
The uncle said that he saw him outside the academy. Because he was not sure at the time, he investigated him several times and finally came to his door.
Li Yu wanted to walk into the rain, but in the end he didn't. He just clenched the Yujue in his hand, pointed at the rainy day and said, "I wish I could still be Ayan now."
Gu Chengxuan looked at him and said in a deep voice: "Come back with me."
It seemed that Li Yu had no choice but to follow him. Only by following Gu Chengxuan would the connection between them not be broken.
Gu Chengxuan is a figure in the court whose reputation is comparable to that of the young prime minister Wen Jian. The new policies he implemented in the past few years satisfied the emperor very much, and he was awarded the title as a result. He is a very powerful king in the court and the public. , and because he has become more and more powerful in the past two years, even the king of Zhou who married his sister, Li Yu's mother, is living much better in the fiefdom than before.
Gu Chengxuan knew that Li Yu had done something stupid. If it were another girl's family, he would have tied up Li Yu and asked Li Yu to marry that girl, but that person was not an ordinary girl. She was Sheng Ling, whom the emperor had loved since childhood. little princess.
Gu Chengxuan could only take Li Yu back to the palace first and then make long-term plans.
Li Yu got on Gu Chengxuan's carriage, which was driving in the rain. Li Yu lowered his eyes and looked at the rain outside the carriage window, and suddenly asked softly: "Uncle, do you have someone you like?"
Gu Chengxuan said calmly: "What do you think?"
Li Yu chuckled mercilessly: "Definitely not. After so many years, I haven't seen your palace add a princess."
Gu Chengxuan just smiled lightly and didn't say anything.
"But let's find one. You are already... in your thirties."
Gu Chengxuan said expressionlessly: "You should clean up your own mess first and then worry about uncle."
Li Yu shrugged: "I'm young, I have plenty of time to worry about."
After he finished speaking, he thought of Sheng Ling and felt a stabbing pain in his heart.
He squinted his eyes again and looked away.
However, after a while, Gu Chengxuan's voice suddenly sounded again: "My uncle doesn't want to interfere with your emotional affairs, but that person is Princess Shengling. I hope that as an adult, you can handle this matter properly."
