After hearing Gu Qianxue's words, Gong Lingyu felt his heart was being twisted like a knife.
What had she experienced that made her express such vicissitudes of emotion.
He was guilty of not protecting her well.
"Sorry for making you suffer." He leaned down and hugged her from behind.
Gu Qianxue smiled lightly, and chose a hairpin, "What are you talking about? Isn't it the end of all hardships?" There was some resentment in her heart, but it wasn't him, she didn't even know who she was blaming.
Gong Lingyan reached out and took off the hairpin, and stuck it in her bun, "In the future, I won't let you suffer again, I swear."
An hour later, the motorcade from Prince Li's Mansion arrived at Gu Shangshu's Mansion.
He is still Jun An's guard, but Jun An has long since lost the youthful arrogance he had before. His whole body exudes an inexplicably calm demeanor, and his eyes are full of thoughts, but he has changed from a carefree young man to a person full of thoughts.
"My lord, the Shangshu Mansion is here." Jun An said respectfully.
The coachman placed the carriage bench, opened the carriage door, and lifted the pure black carriage curtain embroidered with gold silk. King Li got out of the carriage first, and then went to pick up Gu Qianxue who was following.
Gu Qianxue was wearing a light red cloak with a dress of the same color inside, like a hibiscus, adding a touch of spring to the winter.
After getting out of the car, Gu Qianxue wanted to let go of her hand, but her hand was still held tightly by someone, and she couldn't let go.
Gu Qianxue struggled a few times but failed to get free, and finally had no choice but to let it go.
The family member of the Gu family came forward to pay his respects, and someone ran to inform Mrs. Gu, Mrs. Zheng.
Although Princess Qianxue didn't need to mobilize people like this when she came back, but there was still Prince Li and Prince coming, who would dare to neglect? Not to mention His Royal Highness Li Wang.
Although Gu's mansion is not small, it is not too big compared to Prince Li's mansion. After walking a few steps from the entrance, there is an intersection, turning left is Peony Courtyard, and walking further is Tingxue Courtyard. However, Gu Qianxue did not go back Instead, he dragged Li Wang straight to the Manfuyuan.
Zheng was originally chanting scriptures, using the method of chanting Buddhist scriptures to calm down his inner irritability.
Don't blame Zheng Shi for being in a bad mood. In the past two years, everything has not gone well for her. Every time she improved slightly, the situation changed again.
Hearing that King Li and Gu Qianxue came back, Zheng could only grit his teeth angrily, "You don't care, what crime did our Gu family do? We married a fool and gave birth to a lunatic. Fortunately, there is a thousand intentions..." After a pause, "I don't know what will happen to Qianyi in the future. When I think of Qianyi crawling out of that woman's belly, I feel cold and have no hope."
Normally, Nanny Sun would have said a few nice words to coax Mrs. Zheng, but "Princess Qianxue County" slapped her old face so vividly, she didn't bother to say anything nice about her in the end, so she just kept silent.
However, there is no way to complain. They dare not offend King Li if they offend anyone.
So Nanny Sun waited for the servants to quickly tidy up Mrs. Zheng, and then helped Mrs. Zheng out of the room.
As soon as he walked outside the door and hadn't left the courtyard, he saw two figures approaching holding hands not far away.
However, he saw that King Li, who was dressed in black, was tall and imposing, with a dignified aura. Beside him, Gu Qianxue, who was dressed in light red, had faded from her aura, and her face was as soft as an ignorant girl.
But Gu Qianxue's eyes and demeanor were completely different from before.
Although Mrs. Zheng and Nanny Sun couldn't think of anything wrong.
Seeing Mrs. Zheng greet her, Gu Qianxue was about to walk over quickly, but found that someone was still holding her hand, so she couldn't help but give her a blank look, "Let go, I'm going to greet grandma."
King Li only raised his sword eyebrows, and tightened his hand.
Gu Qianxue couldn't help but smile, "His Royal Highness Li Wang doesn't know what it means to respect the old and love the young?"
King Li snorted coldly, "It seems that someone said, never say anything that this king doesn't like to hear."
"..." Gu Qianxue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she could only soften her voice, "His Royal Highness, can you let me go to meet grandma?"
"His Royal Highness?" Li Wang frowned slightly, "Don't you feel out of touch?"
"Will you be fined if you toast?" Gu Qianxue glanced sideways.
King Li had no choice but to let go.
Gu Qianxue hurried away, rushing to Zheng Shi before she could speak, but stretched out her arms to hug her.
Everyone was stunned - what's going on
Grandma Sun was dumbfounded, worried in her heart, looked vigilantly at King Li who was walking slowly, and wondered what kind of tricks Princess Qianxue was playing
Zheng Shi was also surprised, "You..."
"It's great to see you again!" Gu Qianxue hugged her tightly, lowered her eyes, and felt her nose sore.
Everyone was confused at first, but because of Gu Qianxue's words, everyone was even more confused.
Gu Qianxue closed her eyes, smelled the incense on the old man's clothes, and finally couldn't help shedding tears, "I really thought I would never come back and see you again."
This is the truth, not a lie.
At that time in the Roland Palace, Gu Qianxue recalled the short experience of Nanyue Kingdom repeatedly, but she didn't know whether it was the inertia of thinking that the scars were healed and the pain was forgotten, or because of the contrast with the strange soul change and life and death in Chu Yanguo. Every day spent in the country is sweet.
Although the Zheng family, Gu Shangshu, and Zhao family were not her family members, at least they never thought of killing her.
Rather than missing the Zheng family and the Gu family who used to be despised, it is better to say that it is nostalgia for a stable life.
You don't feel good when you get it, but you want to cherish it when you lose it.
Mrs. Zheng was dumbfounded, it's really strange that things happen every year, especially this year, didn't this girl lose her temper like crazy a few days ago and beat and scold the servants? How come such a reunion after a long absence
It was precisely after glancing at the plain-faced Li Wang that he thought to himself, maybe it was another trick.
Zheng stretched out her hand and patted Gu Qianxue on the back, "It's good to be back, it's good to be back, it's cold outside, let's go into the room and talk."
"Okay." Gu Qianxue let go of her arms and personally helped Mrs. Zheng into the house.
But she didn't know whether it was because her mentality had changed or Zheng Shi was really getting old, she only felt that Zheng Shi was faltering slightly.
The age of sixty is nothing in modern times, but in ancient times, it was really a white-haired old man.
Everyone entered the hall, Mrs. Zheng was sitting at the top, logically this seat should belong to King Li, but King Li insisted on sitting at the bottom.
Status is status, not respecting the old and loving the young can change, not to mention the Zheng family, the prince even sits in the same position as his grandfather.
The reason why King Li sat in the lower position regardless of his status was very simple - he just wanted to sit with Gu Qianxue, that's all.
Mrs. Zheng was trembling, but she didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in that lunatic's gourd, so she could only wait and see what happened.
Gu Qianxue asked, "How is grandma doing recently?"
"..." The whole room was filled with a strange atmosphere, because everyone knew that the two met a few days ago, why did they pretend to be reunited after a long absence
"It's okay." It was a very polite answer, but it didn't seem like answering to one's own relatives, but to an outsider.
