After finishing breakfast, Tao Mo asked Gu Xiaojia to come in and take away the dishes.
He went out to rinse his mouth, and then came in with mouthwash to shoot Gu.
Seeing that Gu She finished rinsing, he said carefully, "Xianzhi."
Unexpectedly, Gu She said at the same time: "Tao Mo."
The two stopped at the same time.
After a while, Tao Mo said, "Say first the string."
Gu She shook his head: "You speak first."
Tao Mo said: "I just want to tell you about my past, and then ask you how your mother and your brother died."
Gu She couldn't help smiling: "Actually, that's exactly what I wanted to say. But before I say it, you still owe me a little debt."
Tao Mo asked in surprise, "When did you owe the debt?"
"Before dinner." Gu She reached out to catch Tao Mo's chin, "Let me kiss again."
Tao Mo was so startled that he was about to jump up, but suddenly remembered Gu She's injury, and obediently let him catch him.
"Close your eyes."
Gu She looked at Tao Mo who obediently closed his eyes, his long eyelashes trembled slightly, his petal-like lips were tender and soft, he had never found him so good-looking before.
He kissed contentedly, and as soon as his lips touched his lips, it felt like an electric shock.
He couldn't help taking a sip, and immediately felt an unprecedented sweetness, and found that Tao Mo also shuddered.
He was about to take another sip when Gu Xiaojia knocked on the door: "Master."
He still couldn't bear to let go of Tao Mo, and felt that Tao Mo wanted to break free, so he couldn't help using a little force with his fingers.
Unexpectedly, Tao Mo opened his fingers the next moment.
He could only ask resentfully, "What's the matter?"
"Old Tao bought vegetables and asked me and Hao Guozi to help."
He quickly said: "Go!"
Gu Xiaojia responded and was about to leave when Gu She called again, "Come in."
After Gu Xiaojia came in, Gu She ordered: "Pour out the mouthwash. After buying vegetables, go back to the house and bring a cook and a man who does rough work."
Gu Xiaojia happily agreed and left.
Seeing that Gu Xiaojia had glanced at Tao Mo's chin several times, Gu She was puzzled, and when Gu Xiaojia left, he asked Tao Mo to come over, but when he saw it, he felt that the blood all over his body rushed to the top of his head.
It turned out that there was a faint green fingerprint on Tao Mo's chin.
Tao Mo still didn't know it, and asked in surprise: "Xianzhi, what's wrong with you? Could it be that you have a fever?"
Gu She dodged Tao Mo's hand reaching towards his forehead, and asked sullenly, "Is your skin always delicate and prone to bruises?"
Tao Mo wondered, "How did you know?"
Gu She said: "Guess."
Seeing Tao Mo's puzzled expression, he quickly changed the topic: "You haven't told me how your father died."
Tao Mo then talked about how he met Shang Lu, got acquainted with Lian Jian, met Huang Guangde at Shang Lu, and then Lian Jian competed with Shi Guangyao. Shi Guangyao died strangely. The ins and outs of capital crime.
He thought that these things had already scarred his heart, but he didn't expect that when he said it, he was still dripping with blood.
When it comes to Shang Lu's refusal to redeem her body, his heart aches; when it comes to his refusal to Lian Jian, tears glisten in his eyes;
Gu She sat up, stretched out her left arm to hold him in her arms, and rubbed his face against his.
In the end, he talked about the first time he met Gu She in Mingcuiju, and because he looked almost the same, he recognized Gu She as Lianjian.
He wiped his tears vigorously: "You know what will happen next."
Wiping away the tears, Gu She looked at him so tenderly in his eyes, and there was still such an inexplicable emotion in his eyes, like pity, gratitude, helplessness, and some pity.
He called blankly: "Xianzhi?"
Only then did Gu She come back to his senses, and sighed softly: "So you are Tao Wuwen."
Tao Mo asked in surprise, "Didn't Shang Lu mention my original name?"
"?when and where?"
"On the day she committed suicide, she was in the study."
Gu She blushed: "I saw that you hugged her and felt unhappy, so I walked away for a while."
Tao Mo was puzzled: "Then how do you know that I belong to Tao Wuwen? I remember I didn't say it just now."
Gu She asked back: "There is a jade tablet, where do you put it?"
Tao Mo took out the jade tablet from his pocket.
Gu She took it over: "You wear it next to your body all the time?"
Tao Mo shook his head: "It was put together with my parents' memorial tablet. In the morning—" His face turned red, "I just took it out just now."
After Gu She realized that he was the one who showed his love, Tao Mo wanted to tell him the past, and he couldn't help but sigh Tao Mo's innocence, and felt more and more lucky.
Gu She stroked the jade tablet: "I haven't seen you for three years." Looking up at Tao Mo, "The other one is in the Gu residence."
Tao Mo suddenly realized: "It turns out that even the person my elder brother entrusted to take care of me is you! No wonder I didn't mention the original name just now and you know it!"
Gu She laughed at himself: "At that time, I thought, how long will it take to take care of this? Is it possible to take care of it forever? My brother Lian Jian died because of you. I feel a little bit resentful towards you in my heart, so I searched for you for a year, but I couldn't find you." , I didn’t look for it anymore. I didn’t expect that after going around in circles, your life will still fall on me.”
Hearing the words "my brother Lianjian", Tao Mo was startled: "You and Brother Lian look so similar, are you brothers?"
"We are twin brothers."
Tao Mo opened his eyes wide: "Why is his surname Lian and your surname Gu?"
Gu She took a deep breath: "It's a long story.
My grandfather had two daughters, and my grandmother died of dystocia when giving birth to my aunt. My grandfather felt uncomfortable and didn't want to marry again, and he didn't want to take a concubine. He said that it would be good to find a son-in-law for my mother.
Later, my mother and Gu Huankun fell in love with each other, but Gu Huankun was unwilling to marry.
My grandfather was about to separate my mother and Gu Huankun. At that time, my mother really liked Gu Huankun, so she ran away from the house at night, went to Gu Huankun's house, and worshiped him.
In a fit of anger, my grandfather severed the father-daughter relationship with my mother.
Later, my mother gave birth to my elder brother and I, and after weaned my elder brother, my mother and Gu Huankun sent my elder brother to the General's Mansion.
My grandfather forgave my mother and Gu Huankun for this, and kept my elder brother by his side, so you know that your elder brother is the son of General Lian's mansion, but you don't know that he is also Gu Huankun's son. "
Tao Mo couldn't believe it: "Why did Prime Minister Gu kill his own son?"
Gu She sneered: "Brother killed Shi Guangyao by accident, and Shi Taiwei wanted his brother to pay for his life, otherwise he would rebel. Three to four out of ten military powers in the country are in his hands, and other military powers are scattered all over the place. If Shi Taiwei rebels, The emperor's throne will not be guaranteed. Do you know what the emperor did? He asked Gu Huankun to try this case!"
"Why did the emperor ask Gu Xiang to try this case? The person being tried is the son of the judge, shouldn't he avoid suspicion? Could it be - Gu Xiang is trying to keep the emperor's throne? But murder by mistake is not a crime of death! Look after him—"
Gu She said coolly: "If ordinary people tried this case, my brother would definitely live. But because the emperor wanted my brother to die, with Taiwei An Shi's heart, he handed over the case to Gu Huankun! Hmph! Good! Your majesty! Good servant! My brother’s life is Gu Huankun’s vote of honor to the emperor! You asked me if I hated Princess Jing, but to tell you the truth, when I saw Princess Jing, I wanted to eat her flesh and sleep with her skin! She was the one who came here back then As the emperor's lobbyist, let Gu Huankun sentence brother to death! After killing brother, Gu Huankun will become the prime minister!"
Tao Mo thought to himself, so Gu Huankun was the prime minister like this. He couldn't help shivering: "The people in the royal family are really terrible... They gave their own sons to die and poisoned their own daughters... So they don't think it's cruel to let Gu Xiang kill their own sons. I—"
Gu She interrupted him: "Promise me, try not to have any contact with the royal family in the future. This time I will go to Beijing to file an imperial petition, and I will go to my grandfather for help and let him submit the petition for you. As for you - try not to come forward. Ban Junru Companion tiger, you are so simple, you can't stand their finger snapping. Back then, either Huang Guangde or Shi Guangyao could destroy your family, let alone the royal family?"
Tao Mo nodded, imitating what Gu She did just now, rubbing away the teardrops on Gu She's face with his face.
Gu She felt warm in his heart, and hugged him more tightly with his left arm. With such a fresh and warm body in my arms, I feel that this desolate life is not only no longer desolate, but also full of beautiful hope.
"I fell ill the day my brother died. Maybe it's because of the blood connection between the twin brothers! Gu Huankun sent me to Wutai Mountain to recuperate. I was ill for three months. When I recovered, My mother was lying on the bed. It turned out that Gu Huankun killed his elder brother. My grandfather hated him very much. My mother also hated Gu Huankun, but my mother defended him and said that he didn't want to, so my grandfather scolded my mother. He said that he never had this daughter again. My mother fell ill when she came back from Lianfu. When I went to see her, she was as thin as a child. You must know that my mother was originally very tall. My hand said that she regretted it. If she could do it all over again, she would never marry Gu Huankun! After my mother died, I left Gu’s mansion and searched for you everywhere in the capital. At that time, I was in a bad mood and I also blamed you , I didn’t even bother to find it. I searched for a year and didn’t find it, so I came to Danyang and swore I would never see Gu Huankun again!”
Tao Mo looked at his expression, and said worriedly: "Many people in this world make us angry, and even want to kill him, but if we really do this, it will be the joy of loved ones and enemies. We must live for those who are good to us, and live well. You—you and me. You are so angry, I am really afraid that your wound will open again... "
Gu She's heart was agitated, and he called out: "Wu Wen."
Tao Mo murmured: "I understand why everyone says Dali Temple Minister Gu is just and honest, but he hastily sentenced Brother Lian and my father to death. And why doesn't my father let me take revenge?"
"Just and honest?" Gu She sneered.
"No, there is one more thing I don't understand." Tao Mo asked Gu She, "How did Shi Guangyao die, do you know?"
Gu She shook his head: "My brother always said that he hurt Shi Guangyao very lightly."
Tao Mo nodded: "Shi Guangyao rode back by himself, but I don't know what happened to him on the way home."
Gu She pressed his forehead against Tao Mo's: "This time the imperial court is over, let's investigate this matter together."
Tao Mo was a little shy, but still gave a firm "hmm".
Hearing someone's voice outside, it was Gu Xiaojia, Hao Guozi and the others who came back from shopping for vegetables with Lao Tao. Gu Xiaojia and Hao Guozi were fighting and fighting, which seemed quite lively.
Tao Mo took a look outside and said, "I'll go wash my face and twist a towel for you."
Gu She stopped him: "Don't go."
Tao Mo didn't understand: "Your face is full of tears, I think so too."
Gu She looked at the green fingerprints on Tao Mo's chin, hesitated for a moment, met Tao Mo's expectant eyes: "I'll go too."
Tao Mo said meekly, "I'll help you."
Gu She acted like a fool: "I want you to carry me on your back."
The Gu She in Tao Mo's memory was always unsmiling, had he ever seen such a Gu She? Surprised, but also secretly happy: only he can see this kind of Gu She.
