There were only two people left in Nuan Pavilion, and even the air seemed to have an unusual smell.
Zhao Jingyan looked at her downcast face quietly, coughed slightly, and said: "I will leave early tomorrow morning. If you need anything, just go to Hongwen. I will explain everything to him."
Gu Qingguan raised his head and took out a letter from his sleeve, "This is for my sworn brother. After reading the letter, he will help you."
Zhao Jingyan took the letter elegantly, her eyes became darker, and her usual careless and graceful look was gone at this moment.
"You've done all the math for me."
Gu Qingwan said: "It will be beneficial to you to act this way. Once Zhang Hua falls, I will take over the emperor's request. I will be extremely careful. Just don't worry. Yueniang."
Yueniang entered in response, put the bundle in her hand on the table, looked at the two of them with complicated eyes, and then quietly exited.
"These are some things I have prepared. You will need them when you join the army. You have no eyesight for swords and guns, so be careful in everything."
The corners of Zhao Jingyan's mouth felt bitter.
Her eyes were so clear and bright, like the stars in the night sky, that he felt like he was about to sink into them. Such eyes, for him, are only in memories.
The woman in his memory was three years older than him. She had a clear appearance but was not very beautiful. She was petty in nature and liked to climb high and low. She knew nothing about music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but was gentle, virtuous and perfect.
However, the woman's eyes were also so clear-cut in black and white. Once she looked at them, she didn't want to look away.
The woman had a stubborn temper and would cry occasionally. When she cried, her beautiful eyes would be filled with moisture. He looked at it from a distance once and felt distressed.
Zhao Jingyan looked at the night outside, her smile softening.
"Wan Wan, check my pulse!"
"Reach out!" The voice was still cold.
Zhao Jingyan squinted at her, and her delicate outline was like a backlit silhouette, engraved in his heart, overlapping with the woman in his memory.
The fingers against his skin were still cold, so cold that he couldn't help but shiver. He chuckled and looked towards the night sky outside Nuan Pavilion.
"Wanwan."
Zhao Jingyan's voice was faint and seemed to float far away.
This was the first time Gu Qingguan saw him like this, and his mood when diagnosing the pulse was suddenly confused.
"My pulse, is there something wrong with me?"
Gu Qingguan said calmly: "It's nothing serious, it's just that the deficiency fire is a bit strong, just take a few pills to remove the fire."
The light in Zhao Jingyan's eyes brought a smile, "No, you didn't diagnose it."
Qingguan was slightly startled and hurriedly concentrated on identifying his pulse.
Zhao Jingyan stared at her, eyes gleaming, and took a deep breath.
"The symptoms of this disease include palpitations at the beginning and being full of curiosity about everything about her; heart fluttering again and thinking about her all the time; heartache at the end, wanting to put her properly and preserve her carefully to avoid her shock, pain and suffering. She has no support."
Qingguan blinked, feeling that his vision was getting blurry.
Sighing inwardly, he slowly took his hand back, but was grabbed by him. The palm of his hand was very hot, making her tremble with fear.
"There is nothing to say about this disease, there is no solution, there is no way to get rid of it, and the disease is terminal and dying. Wanwan, tell me how to treat it."
Zhao Jingyan leaned down, a cluster of afterglow dancing between his eyebrows.
Gu Qingguan raised her eyes, met his burning gaze, and said: "The person suffering from this disease is really a fool. The woman has been engaged for a long time. A brother's wife is not to be played with. Doesn't he understand?"
Zhao Jingyan was shocked, with a hint of pain in her eyes. It was just an expedient measure at the beginning, and she had long regretted it.
"His brother already knew about this illness at the beginning and never tried to hide it from him, so he was willing to be a beautiful man."
Gu Qingguan's eyes showed surprise, and his expression was in a trance for a moment.
It turned out that Jiang Hongwen had known it for a long time.
"Wan Wan." He called out in a low voice, "Are you willing to take action to cure me?"
Gu Qingguan's body gradually trembled, but she tried her best to suppress it. She looked at him, the burning pain in her heart getting bigger and bigger.
The oath is still there, but the love is dead.
Don't you think it's ridiculous
The girl's hand was soft and fragrant, and she felt inexplicably at ease in her palm. Zhao Jingyan held it firmly and waited for her answer quietly.
The world seemed to be still, and she just looked at him like this without saying a word.
Zhao Jingyan felt her heartbeat speed up and her breathing become a little short. There were some things in the clear black and white eyes that he couldn't see through.
After a long time, Gu Qingwan spoke and called him by his name.
"Zhao Jingyan."
With a pair of brilliant water eyes, distant and profound, Zhao Jingyan said softly: "Wan Wan, I'm here."
"I can't cure your illness."
Zhao Jingyan opened her eyes suddenly, looked at it in disbelief, and said word by word: "Why?"
"I don't have any affection for you. There is nothing you can do about this disease."
"You are lying!"
Qingguan stared back, obviously weak, but still stubborn in his eyes.
In her whole life, she had only wanted revenge, and had never thought of involving an affair between a man and a woman. Because of the pain of gouging out the heart and scraping the bones, she did not want to experience it again in this life, the next life, and the next life.
Without love, there will be no pain; without affection, there will be no hurt. I'm sorry Zhao Jingyan, your love is destined to be let down.
"I'll say it again, I have no sympathy for you."
The woman's cold words and stubborn eyes burned Zhao Jingyan's consciousness. He suddenly tightened his hands, took her into his arms, pinched her chin, and lowered his head!
Qingguan was shocked, his hot breath could be felt between her nose and lips.
He wanted to kiss her for a long time.
"Snapped!"
Zhao Jingyan received a solid slap on the face, and a cold light burst out from Zhao Jingyan's eyes.
However, the cold light only flashed for a moment before turning into a soft color. He stretched out his long arms, held her in his arms, and hugged her tightly.
"Wanwan, why is this so?"
The subtle changes in her expression clearly revealed her thoughts. He had been walking in the wind and moon for a long time and had seen countless women, and nothing could be hidden from his eyes.
She had feelings for him.
Gu Qingwan was tied in his arms and could not move. The unknown emotions in her heart made her inexplicably angry.
This anger doesn’t know where it starts or where it ends.
She was also asking in her mind: Why is this so
"Wanwan, if you enter my heart, I will never let you out again. If you don't believe me, just give it a try."
Zhao Jingyan buried her head in her neck and took a deep breath, "I will wait for you to grow up."
The woman in her arms smiled softly, "Zhao Jingyan, brother, do you want to pay homage to Buddha?"
"Um!"
The sudden words caught Zhao Jingyan off guard. By the time he reacted, he had already responded with a "hmm".
"Zhao Jingyan, I only use you, and you also use me. Since we are both using each other, don't talk about affection or love. It sounds fake. It's just that we each get what we need."
Gu Qingguan slowly pushed the man's chest open, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, "You are so sick, I'm sorry for my poor eyesight, but I can't see anything that is life or death. Find a woman in Wanhua Tower, sleep for a while, and let off some steam. Fire, this disease will be cured."
Zhao Jingyan stared at her dumbfounded, the shock in his eyes gradually replaced the warmth, and a strange look changed, as if he had just recognized her tonight.
Gu Qingguan didn't care about his expression, "In this life, I will not talk about romance or love. I will only talk about revenge. If you don't mind this, I will stand by your side to help you or the person behind you. Man, ascend to the highest position.”
"What if I mind?"
Zhao Jingyan asked in a low voice, with a cold look in his eyes. He was a prince, aloof, but she was just a woman. The world was so big that she could hide wherever she could.
There is no escape.
The sneer on Gu Qingguan's lips grew louder, "Zhao Jingyan, are you forcing me to die?"
The heart was stabbed hard by a knife, the pain was unstoppable, and Zhao Jingyan's eyes dimmed instantly. If she dies, will his disease be cured
In the courtyard of Wanhua Building, there was a small table and several bottles of liquor. Jiang Hongwen looked at the slender figure of the dead tree and sighed softly.
"Tinglin, if you feel unhappy, I'll drink a few drinks with you. Brother, there's nothing else I can do to help you, I can only get drunk."
Zhao Jingyan looked back, with a handsome face and watery eyes.
"Hongwen, I can't imagine that I fell into the hands of a woman under the age of fifteen."
"You deserve it!"
Jiang Hongwen poured wine by himself. When he saw Gu Liu for the first time, he knew that she was an extraordinary person. Tinglin would have to carry her there sooner or later, so there were many reminders in her words. Never thought…
Still failed!
"I also want to be a heartless person... I only talk about romance, not about love. I only need one thing in my heart, and I won't be hurt by others." Zhao Jingyan smiled sadly, "Who has ever thought that your heart will be moved? Once you are moved, how can you take it back. "
Jiang Hongwen smiled bitterly, "In this case, you can only deserve it."
"You deserve it!"
Zhao Jingyan also smiled bitterly, and the cool voice dispersed with the night wind, and the woman's face became clearer and clearer in front of her eyes.
Like a dream, like an illusion, like real, like sentimental, like heartless.
"Hongwen, I get closer and closer, but I still can't see her heart clearly. Is she really only fourteen years old?"
A fourteen-year-old woman should be innocent and full of youth, but he saw vicissitudes of life in her.
That's right, it's about seeing through the vicissitudes of the world after a thousand sails have passed; it's about the desolation after being washed away by pessimism in the world of mortals.
It seemed as if she had experienced thousands of lifetimes of love.
Jiang Hongwen drank two glasses of wine and sneered, "Tinglin, let's get through this year first. After this incident, the emperor's health has become worse and worse, and we don't have much time. You and her have a long future."
There was deep and shallow sadness in Zhao Jingyan's eyes.
That woman, as early as the moment he first met her, took root in his heart, sprouted, and then spread its branches and vines to his internal organs.
He had even thought about it. As long as she agreed, all the women in the house would disperse, and from now on, he would only stay with her.
There was a dull pain in my heart, as if it had been torn apart. Zhao Jingyan said seriously: "She is mine, don't even think about escaping her in this life."
Jiang Hongwen squirted out all the strong wine in one gulp and looked at him in disbelief, his heart beating faster. This was the first time that he and his brother of twenty years had heard him say such words. Are you crazy
