Tao Ran pressed Xuanyuan Yan and ran amok in the shadow of the trees. Gu Yinglian waited for Tao Ran for a long time and didn't see him come back, and he didn't hear anything, so he was a little worried. But on the one hand, he was afraid that he would miss Xuanyuan Mo if he walked away, and on the other hand, when Tao Ran left, he also asked him to wait there.
Gu Yinglian was extremely anxious, but she still stayed where she was.
On the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, the full moon hangs high, and the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus is very strong.
Xuanyuan Mo drank a little too much, it's not that she didn't want Gu Yinglian, nor did she dislike him in the past few months. It's just that Xuanyuan Yan's words stuck in her heart like a thorn that day. She has been a high-ranking princess since she was a child, and she can get whatever she wants. Later, when she became the emperor, she felt that there was nothing in the world that she could care about. Until she met Gu Yinglian, Gu Yinglian nourished her dry heart like a clear spring.
Make her happy, make her sad. She wanted to see him all the time, wanted to hold him in her arms, and she wanted Gu Yinglian to give her the most sincere affection. So when she knew that Gu Yinglian would participate in the draft, she was overjoyed.
She thought that Gu Yinglian liked her, otherwise why did he take the initiative to participate in the draft after rejecting his imperial sister so resolutely
Xuanyuan Mo was very satisfied for a time, until Xuanyuan Yan said something like that in front of her. As the emperor, she naturally has her own intelligence agency, so she found out easily. Xuanyuan Yan and Gu Yinglian did enter the private room of Baiweilou together that day. Still sneaking in one after the other.
She couldn't help but think about it, but she couldn't let go of Gu Yinglian, so all she could do was ignore him. Many days passed, as if she really would never think of her again, but she didn't want to be drunk today, and she thought of that person again.
Seeing that Xuanyuan Mo was a little drunk, the queen said, knowing her past habits, "Your Majesty might as well go to the Osmanthus Garden to enjoy the flowers, and sober up by the way."
In previous years, there was always a Xuanyuan Yan beside you when you went to admire the longan flowers, but this year...
Well, going alone is the same.
Gu Yinglian had been waiting for Tao Ran for a long time, he was afraid and cold, timid and dared not go back alone. I followed Tao Ran's direction and carefully searched for it. After walking for a while, the light was dim, and only the moonlight shone on the road ahead.
There are quite a lot of osmanthus trees here, and the shadows of the trees appear mottled under the moonlight. Gu Yinglian couldn't see the way clearly, so she could only squint her eyes and lower her head, walking forward cautiously.
He opened his mouth and called Yetan a few times in a low voice, but he didn't dare to amplify his voice. Because this is the imperial palace, on the first day he entered the palace, an elderly servant had told him not to make loud noises in the palace.
After taking two steps, he tripped over something and fell to the ground with a plop. At that time, he was so scared that he didn't feel any pain. When he got up, he found that his right leg was excruciatingly painful every time he took a step. He insisted on walking two steps forward, feeling pain and fear, and couldn't help crying.
He covered his mouth with his hand, and while trying to shed tears, he suppressed himself not to cry out.
Suddenly someone said in front: "Who is there?"
Gu Yinglian was startled, and remembered what the elder servant had said, that many ignorant concubines ran around and ran into nobles and died unexpectedly. He was trembling all over, ignoring the pain in his body, he ran as soon as he turned, and before he ran two steps, his legs were weak, his body tilted and he fell to the side.
Gu Yinglian desperately closed her eyes, waiting to touch the cold ground. In the next moment, he fell into a warm embrace. A woman's voice smelled of alcohol said, "Who are you? Why are you here?"
God, I was hugged by a woman...
Gu Yinglian was stunned for a moment, and after realizing it, she struggled violently. Xuanyuan Mo hugged him, and he couldn't break free. Today's various grievances hit his heart, and Gu Yinglian couldn't help crying.
"Wow..."
Xuanyuan Mo was stunned for a moment, his head ached from the crying. She frowned and said, "Don't cry, don't cry."
Gu Yinglian couldn't stop, she just cried. And the more I cried, the more sad I became, and there was a faint tendency to become more and more unable to live.
Xuanyuan Mo's entanglement, she stretched out her hand to try it, and the person in her arms was very light. She hugged Gu Yinglian and walked out of the Laurel Garden. The stone roadside of the Royal Garden was lit with lights, and she could see clearly that the person crying like a cat was Gu Yinglian.
At this moment, Gu Yinglian was in a terrible state of distress, her clothes were all dusty, her moon-white clothes were stained with blood at her knees, and a crying red face appeared in her messy hair.
Xuanyuan Mo was stunned for a moment, and said, "What's wrong with you? Why are you here?"
Gu Yinglian rubbed his eyes and looked at her, and found that this person was Xuanyuan Mo, he was stunned for a moment, and said in a daze, "Yetan is gone."
"Who is Ye Tan?" Xuanyuan Mo frowned at him, then reached out to touch Gu Yinglian's knee.
Gu Ying flinched in pity, Xuanyuan Mo said: "What happened?"
Gu Yinglian still said blankly: "I couldn't see the way clearly, I fell."
Not knowing how he felt in his heart, Xuanyuan Mo stretched out his hand through Gu Yinglian's leg, and carried him to Fuxi Palace.
Gu Yinglian cried with a hoarse voice, "Where are you going?"
"Go to your palace."
Gu Yinglian: "Yetan hasn't been found yet."
"Who is Ye Tan?"
"My servant, brought from outside the palace."
"I sent someone to look for it."
"But… "
"What else is there?"
"Gone."
In the imperial garden, the clouds gather and the rain rests. Tao Ran and Xuanyuan Yan got up from the ground and hurriedly got dressed. Seeing that Tao Ran's belt couldn't be fastened properly, Xuanyuan Yan reached out to help Tao Ran fix it. Tao Ran was thinking badly, and he didn't know what happened to Gu Yinglian, so he turned around and was about to leave.
How could Xuanyuan Yan let him go? He stretched out his hand to grab Tao Ran and said, "You did that to me just now, and you want to run away now?"
Tao Ran said: "I am Gu Yinglian's servant now, and I don't know how he is doing now."
Thinking of Gu Yinglian, Xuanyuan Yan felt a lot lighter than before. She said: "I begged Huang Jie to give me Gu Yinglian, but Huang Jie has refused to agree to me."
"How could she agree." Tao Ran said: "Xuanyuan... Your Majesty, she liked Gu Yinglian a long time ago. The last time he rescued Gu Yinglian from the prison was designed by His Majesty. It was not easy for Gu Yinglian to enter the palace. How could I give Gu Yinglian to you?"
Xuanyuan Yan was startled, and a lot of cold sweat broke out on his body. Before, she always felt that Gu Yinglian's leaving the prison was a bit strange. If what Ye Tan said was true, then she would have done something to die. She even said in front of Huang Jie that she and Gu Yinglian had a physical relationship. Based on her understanding of Huang Jie, Huang Jie probably kept this matter in mind.
She grew up with Xuanyuan Mo since she was a child, and she knows what Huang Jie is thinking best. She is very concerned about the relationship between sisters, but once something violates her taboo, she will definitely not let it go easily.
If she knew that Xuanyuan Mo also liked Gu Yinglian, she would not have dared to say that to her no matter what. There are thousands of mistakes, and the mistake is that she doesn't know Xuanyuan Mo's thoughts.
Xuanyuan Yan looked at Tao Ran with a pale face and said, "Is what you said true?"
"Of course." Tao Ran saw her change of expression, and said, "Actually, there are so many good men in the world, so why should you insist on Gu Yinglian? As your prince, what kind of man do you want?"
Xuanyuan Yan forced a smile and said, "If you had told me a few months earlier, I would probably have felt better."
Tao Ran didn't know what she said to Xuanyuan Mo, he just thought that Xuanyuan Yan's affection for Gu Ying was deeply rooted, and now he couldn't extricate himself. Thinking that his task was becoming more and more difficult to complete, Tao Ran felt restless and said impatiently: "I'm leaving, you should go back soon."
Yi Ren turned around, as if there was a dark fragrance left behind.
Xuanyuan Yan said: "Do you want to stay in the palace forever?"
Tao Ran turned around, "What do you mean?"
Xuanyuan Yan said: "Why don't you go out of the palace and follow me back to the palace, the king will treat you well."
Tao Ran said, "It's as if I can go out if I want to."
After speaking, he ran to the place where he and Gu Yinglian were separated before, and when he went there, Gu Yinglian was nowhere to be seen. Tao Ran was still wondering if he had gone back, when he saw a few maids and servants walking over with lanterns, "But Mr. Yetan?"
Tao Ran said, "I am."
"Go back quickly, Young Master Gu has been looking for you so hard, His Majesty sent the servants to come and find you."
His Majesty? So Gu Yinglian hooked up with Xuanyuanmo
Tao Ran didn't have time to think about it, so he hurried back.
Xuanyuan Mo returned to Fuxi Palace with Gu Yinglian in his arms, which alarmed all the servants and maids in Fuxi Palace. Xuanyuan Mo put Gu Yinglian on the table and said, "Please come over with the male doctor."
Gu Yinglian was trembling in fear, shock and fright, but in fact, the injury on her knee did not feel any pain. Seeing him trembling, Xuanyuan Mo thought he was in pain, and said, "If you don't rest well in the palace in the dark night, what are you doing going out?"
Gu Yinglian is also a talented person. Although she is afraid, she also knows what to say and what not to say. He said: "I have lived in the palace for a long time and missed my mother and father. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I wanted to go out to enjoy the moon and pick some sweet-scented osmanthus flowers to make tea."
"Osmanthus tea?" Xuanyuan Mo said, "Didn't the House of Internal Affairs send tea to your palace?"
Gu Yinglian lowered her head slightly, Xuanyuan Mo's heart was shocked. She also knows the usual methods in the palace, and she also knows a little bit about the lives of those concubines who have no rank and no favor. Previously, he only thought about avoiding Gu Yinglian, but he didn't want to make things difficult for him without any favor in the palace for a few months.
Xuanyuan Mo felt a little guilty, and she said again: "Where are your servants and maids? Why don't you let them accompany you?"
Gu Yinglian asked each question and answered each sentence: "It's late at night so I don't want to disturb them. I... my concubine took Ye Tan who came into the palace with me. Ye Tan said that he seemed to hear something, so he went to see it, and waited." I haven't seen him back for a long time, and my concubine wanted to find him, but fell down."
Xuanyuan Mo nodded, his remarks were reasonable.
The male doctor came over to clean up Gu Yinglian's wound. Gu Yinglian burst into tears in pain, and was afraid that he would be too embarrassed in front of Xuanyuan Mo, so he held back his tears.
Xuanyuan Mo looked at him, and suddenly felt impulsive, hugged Gu Yinglian and walked towards the bed.
After Tao Ran came back, he saw the servants and maids guarding the door, and asked, "How is the young master?"
A maid named Rose smiled and said in a low voice: "The young master has finally fulfilled his wish this time, and he is with His Majesty inside. It seems that we are going to prepare for the young master's body."
