Gu Mingke said the most irritating words in the most innocent tone? Jiao Wei was almost overwhelmed with anger, but at this moment, the atmosphere in the main courtyard of the Princess Mansion was also very tense.
The maid of the Princess Mansion quietly left, and quietly closed the door behind her. This is in the Princess Mansion, Li Chaoge was not polite, he found a comfortable place, sat down and asked, "Tell me, what are you doing here again?"
again? Pei Ji'an laughed at himself, a person's likes and dislikes can't be hidden, when he likes it, no matter what the other person does, it's good, but when he doesn't like it, it's annoying to see him again.
Li Chaoge sat in the bright hall piled with gold and jade, she knelt on an embroidered cushion and poured tea, the hem of the town demon's black uniform was scattered on the ground. This suit was chosen by Li Chaoge himself. There are dark patterns circling on the black silk surface, unicorns with precious flowers embroidered with gold thread on the shoulders, and a large auspicious cloud peony on the hem.
After the cloth was wet by the rain, the unicorn on it was shining golden, as if it was about to jump out immediately. The collar of her collar was tightly attached to her neck, and a section of white lining was exposed inside. The clothes were completely attached to her body, and her neck was slender, her limbs were slender, her hair was black and her skin was slender, and she was extremely beautiful.
Pei Ji'an stood at the door and looked at Li Chaoge from a distance. Even in his previous life, when he hated Li Chaoge the most, he was often intimidated by her appearance. In this life, his love and hatred have been eliminated. Looking at Li Chaoge again, Pei Ji'an feels that she is unique and unparalleled in the world.
Other women use clothes and jewelry to enhance themselves, but Li Chaoge does not need any decorations, beautiful crowns, even her appearance is used as a foil for her. This dress is just the daily casual clothes of the town monsters, but it is all embroidered with gold thread, and the cost is expensive. Among the town monsters, only Li Chaoge can wear it, and she is the only one who dares to wear it.
Both black and gold are domineering colors, and this outfit can be described as fierce and beautiful. Girls love to be pretty, but most of them like red, light yellow, emerald green, very few? Some girls will like this color scheme. But Li Chaoge was never an ordinary woman.
Li Chaoge poured her a cup of tea. After running around in the rain for so long, she was really thirsty. As a result, she finished her cup of tea, and did Pei Ji'an speak? Li Chaoge was impatient, and suddenly heard the door saying: "Chaoge, I'm sorry."
Li Chaoge was in a daze for a moment. After being reborn, the two of them turned against each other. She called Pei Ji'an by name in a weird way, and Pei Ji'an called her princess in a distant manner. Li Chaoge almost forgot that they were husband and wife in the previous life, and he called her Chaoge when they just got married and their relationship was not completely broken.
However, in just a moment, Li Chaoge woke up. She put the teacup on the table, straightened the creases on the sleeve lightly, and said, "Pei Shiyi has never had any contact with? I? What are you saying sorry to me?"
She still refused to admit it, Pei Ji'an sighed in his heart, and said, "I'm sorry, I owe you this. I didn't dare to face the reality in my previous life, and let my prejudices expand, as if I just want to push all the mistakes on you , I? It is a last resort, I? Don't have to face my own failure in life. In fact, I? Why is it wrong? The defeat of the Changsun family and the Pei family in the previous life was a political struggle, but I? ...to take revenge on you. I? I have no intention of arguing for myself. If I did something wrong, I did it wrong. In the end, that sword was my? Unable to shirk my mistake. I? Willing to do anything to make up for it, as long as you forgive me?. "
Li Chaoge laughed softly, thinking that men and women love these things? The fact is that it is extremely boring. When she treated her attentively in the previous life, Pei Ji'an dismissed her. In this life, she let go as he wished, and he wanted to bring her back. Love is priceless, but untimely love is worthless.
It was almost dusk, and with the rain, the sky was very dark. The light in the main hall was hazy, and Li Chaoge's face was washed clear by the rain. In the half-drowsy background, his side face was like a jade carving, shining brightly: "Pei Ji'an, it was you who said that I would never love you again in the next life."
Pei Ji'an's face turned pale all of a sudden, his lips twitched, and his voice trembled uncontrollably: "But I regret it."
He regretted it, he couldn't pretend that he never met Li Chaoge, and marriage between a man and a woman in this life is irrelevant. He struggled for so long, and when he was only half a step away from victory, he completely collapsed, desperately trying to recover.
He realized that Li Chaoge didn't love him at all, and that his previous life was a one-man show from beginning to end. Pei Ji'an couldn't let go, and felt that he deserved it. In the previous life, he failed Li Chaoge. If he paid more this time, would it be different
Li Chaoge couldn't help laughing when Pei Ji'an said he regretted it. Li Chaoge put down his sleeves, turned his head slowly, with snow-white insight and sarcasm in his eyes: "Pei Ji'an, are you regretting it, or are you unwilling? You thought it was me? I love you so much that I can't help it. ?Actually, you are not so involved, and you are just a substitute for other men. You feel that you have lost face, so you come to me to mess around here, trying to find a place for yourself. If I still like you in this life , will you talk to me about these things?"
Li Chaoge's eyes were clear, his expression was indifferent, and he was as inviolable as the Nine Heavens Xuannv. When an ordinary woman hears the confession from someone she could not love in her previous life, she will feel a little complacent and joyful, but Li Chaoge is not.
There was no weakness or hesitation in her eyes, she saw everything clearly, her rationality was almost cruel. Pei Ji'an's face became paler, his lips were cold, and he asked in disbelief: "Do you think I came to you because of my pride?"
Li Chaoge sneered: "Isn't it?"
Pei Ji'an felt startled, his blood froze inch by inch from the inside out. I heard Li Chaoge say that he is a stand-in earlier, but this sentence? Give? He hurt more. He put all his eggs in one basket for her, and personally cut out a heart for her to see, but Li Chaoge didn't accept it, and she didn't even believe his feelings.
With despair, Pei Ji'an asked? "No matter what I? Do, you won't forgive me?"
"Never." Li Chaoge's lips parted slightly, his voice was light, but he said the most decisive words, "I? Not going back."
Across the door, it was raining heavily outside, as if even the Lord of Heaven was laughing at him? Pei Ji'an. Pei Ji'an smiled bitterly, opened the door, and walked out in a daze.
That's right, it's not like he hasn't seen her ruthlessness before, so why do he still have expectations? Pei Ji'an walked down the eaves, and there was a rain gear at the door, but he turned a blind eye and walked straight into the pouring rain.
Pei Ji'an was drenched in an instant, he walked for a while and stopped suddenly. With his back facing the main hall, separated by half of the misty rain and the glitzy room, he asked: "In the past life, have you ever been sincere to me for even a moment?"
Li Chaoge didn't want to answer this kind of question. Everyone dies? Once in a while, does it matter whether you have loved or not? But if she didn't answer, Pei Ji'an didn't leave, as if it wasn't his own body that was suffering in the rain. Li Chaoge didn't want to? Let Pei Ji'an faint in the princess mansion, otherwise, she would have to ask him a doctor. Li Chaoge could only reluctantly, with a slight smile, said mockingly: "No."
"Never?"
"Never."
Pei Ji'an stood in the rain, his eyes suddenly turned red. The rain slid down his cheeks, and it was impossible to tell whether it was rain or tears. She never believed in others, nor did she trust Pei Ji'an. He gave up his family for her and risked the world's shame to intercede in front of the saint, but she didn't even want to listen? Listen. Everyone said that a couple can be reunited even if they are married for a day, but he tried his best to repair it, but she had already given up.
Li Chaoge's voice came out from the bright hall, passed through the rain curtain, and hit Pei Ji'an's eardrum like a nail: "I? I?, I? Don't blame you. But in this life, I? won't be merciful to you again. After leaving this door, what you said today? I? I've never heard of it. The grievances and grievances of the previous life are wiped out. You treat it as yours Concubine, I? Be my princess. Whoever wins or loses in a political battle depends on ability. By the way, in the future, if it is not necessary, please don't come to my house again. I will marry Gu Mingke soon. You are both a brother-in-law and a cousin, and you frequently come and go to my princess mansion, I'm afraid that Gu Mingke will think too much."
Pei Ji'an closed his eyes hard in the heavy rain, and replied in a voice that he felt unfamiliar with: "Okay."
Pei Ji'an's body? He seemed to have lost consciousness. Although he walked forward step by step, he was unconscious, as if he had become a walking dead. When he reached the main entrance, Pei Ji'an was about to pull the door, but the door was pushed open from the outside. Pei Ji'an raised his head, and saw Gu Mingke appearing outside the door like a fairy on a cloud, wearing a bodice and a high crown.
Pei Ji'an and Gu Mingke looked at each other, but neither of them spoke? The two passed each other, one walked in dry, and the other walked into the rain soaked.
Jiao Wei followed behind Gu Mingke, his eyes wandering, looking at his son and then at his cousin, which one? He didn't dare to say hello. Jiao Wei lowered his head silently, shrinking his sense of existence.
It's not that Jiao Wei is mean, he really thinks that the young master's move is a little bit like a demonstration. Jiao Wei was originally wandering with the young master in the bitter wind and rain, but the young master was walking, and suddenly said, it's almost done.
Then just go back. Walking to the door, he bumped into Pei Ji'an head-on.
When the two met, neither said a word, but Jiao Wei felt that silence was better than sound. The moment the young master pushed the door, he was very much like a gentleman who went to the outer house to find a hangover. He was calm and confident, as if he was saying that no matter how fragrant the wild flowers are, the husband will always go home.
The young master's whole body is full of that calm and dignified formal style.
Gu Mingke and Pei Ji'an brushed past each other, the sound of rain? Lili, Pei Ji'an was soon gone. Gu Mingke walked into the main hall unhurriedly. Seeing that Li Chaoge was still wearing those wet clothes, he frowned and said, "You have injuries on your body, be careful of catching a cold, go and change first."
The corner of Jiao Wei's mouth twitched, well, it looks more like it.
Li Chaoge nodded. If Pei Ji'an hadn't interrupted her, she would have gone to take a shower and change. Li Chaoge raised his voice and ordered, "Prepare water."
Many maids appeared out of nowhere in the empty main hall just now. The maids bowed and bowed in their half-arm skirts: "Yes."
The maid shuttled through the hall, busy and unhurriedly preparing the bath products. Li Chaoge stood up and took two steps towards the bathroom. Suddenly he remembered something, turned and said to Gu Mingke, "Tonight...isn't it convenient? You are temporarily staying in the main room. Courtyard. Wait until tomorrow, I? Let someone clean up the guest room for you."
Gu Mingke nodded, obviously mentally prepared: "Okay."
Standing alone in the palace full of maids, Jiao Wei felt at a loss at first, but when he heard Li Chaoge's words, Jiao Wei's eyes gradually widened.
Lonely man and widow, living in the same yard... Is that what he wanted
What's even more frightening is that the young master agreed. His tone was unremarkable, as if similar things had happened many times.
After Li Chaoge finished speaking, he was greatly relieved, and walked briskly to the inner room to take a bath. Gu Mingke turned around and saw Jiao Wei, glanced at him lightly, and said, "It's just for one night, don't think too much about it?"
Jiao Wei's face is almost out of control, what do you mean by just staying for one night? A pair of young men and women sleep on the same bed, is it just for a nap
When Gu Mingke saw Jiao Wei's expression, he knew what he was thinking? What, Gu Mingke didn't want to? Explain, and simply sent him down, out of sight: "I don't need you to serve tonight, you go back and rest."
Jiao Wei watched Gu Mingke quietly, and after a while, he replied with a bit of resentment: "I? Got it."
Their son has grown up and doesn't need him anymore. Even before going to bed at night, he had to be sent far away.
Jiao Wei understands.
Li Chaoge was drenched in the rain for a long time today. She had a good soak in the bathroom? It was a hot bath, and then she changed into clean clothes and came out. The sound of the rain outside? Gradually diminished, has come to an end? Li Chaoge has been used to being alone for many years, but when he came out today, the outer hall was lit, and Gu Mingke was sitting on the couch reading a book outside a window.
Seeing someone outside, Li Chaoge was stunned for a moment before slowly recalling it. Right, Gu Mingke was here today, and she was forced to stay there. Li Chaoge put on a coat, walked to the outer hall, and sat calmly opposite Gu Mingke: "What are you looking at?"
After finishing speaking, Li Chaoge scanned the words above and raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Isn't this the dossier of the demon town?"
"Well." Gu Mingke didn't raise his eyes, nodded his head invisibly, and said, "I left in a hurry today and didn't bring the file of Dali Temple. Wait until tomorrow, you send someone to Pei's house and take all my books and scrolls Bring them all."
Li Chaoge was taken aback when he heard that, Gu Mingke? His tone of indifference and bluntness, without any sense of being robbed, made Li Chaoge wonder if she had been deceived.
Had he really been robbed by the rich and powerful, and had no choice but to commit the crime? His appearance clearly looks more like he moved here on his own initiative.
But everyone is sitting here, it's useless for Li Chaoge to doubt. Li Chaoge thought that she was robbed by everyone, and he didn't care about offending the Pei family again, so he nodded in response. Li Chaoge saw that Gu Mingke's eyes were fixed on the records of the Zheng family, and was about to tell him about what he found at the Zheng family today, when a maid's call suddenly came from outside.
The female officer stayed outside the partition, looking at Li Chaoge hesitantly: "Princess."
Gu Mingke's brows were light and unwavering, as if he hadn't noticed the female official's scruples. Li Chaoge glanced at Gu Mingke, remained silent? He got up and led the female officer outside: "What's wrong?"
The female officer quickly saluted Li Chaoge, moved closer, and said anxiously: "Princess, Pei Shiyi just entered the palace and rejected his marriage with Princess Guangning."
Li Chaoge's eyes widened suddenly, what, he refused to marry
How could it be, in his previous life he clearly never forgot about Li Changle, but in this life, as soon as he was reborn, he immediately asked to marry Li Changle. This is his long-cherished wish for two lifetimes, his life-long wish, and it will soon come to fruition, why did he refuse
What's more, this is not just a matter of refusal to marry. The emperor kept his promises, and Pei Ji'an dared to break the marriage contract bestowed by the emperor himself. Isn't this a blatant slap in the face of a saint? He has been Zuo Suyi now, and after one or two more years, he will enter the six departments, and after that, he will accumulate qualifications, get promoted, and the road to Qingyun is already under his feet. With a good situation in hand? Why would he destroy his future
Li Chaoge thought? Seeing Pei Ji'an's strange behavior just now, he seemed to understand something, but when he thought about it carefully, he didn't understand anything. The female officer stopped aside, waiting for Li Chaoge's order. Li Chaoge thought for a while, and said to the female officer: "You should step down first, and let the people in the palace be careful and stay put. Watch carefully the movement of Wencheng Hall, the Queen of Heaven The action? It's only two days."
The female officer squatted down: "Your servant obeys."
After the female officer left, Li Chaoge didn't go back to the house, but stood alone in the corridor. The menacing rain finally stopped, and the sky cleared after the rain, revealing the dark blue sky behind the dark clouds. The evening wind carried water vapor, which felt cool on the skin. Li Chaoge moved? Still? Standing in the wind, his thin sleeves rolled back and forth like sails. She stayed in the wind for a long time, and waited for the inexplicable restlessness in her heart to dissipate, and she regained her senses before turning back to the main hall.
In the hall, Gu Mingke was still reading, as if he didn't notice that Li Chaoge disappeared for a long time. There was no one serving in the palace. Li Chaoge finally felt embarrassed when he saw Gu Mingke after entering the room.
The play had to be a complete set, since she snatched Gu Mingke into the mansion with great fanfare, she had to finish singing the scene of robbery. On the first night of robbing someone, if the two of them slept in separate rooms, that would be too fake.
Li Chaoge was able to sit calmly opposite Gu Mingke just now, but now she realized the embarrassment and could no longer get close. Li Chaoge let out a cough, and said, "It's getting late, and there are still many things to be busy tomorrow. I'll go to rest first."
Gu Mingke nodded lightly. Through a carved window, his figure was blurred, and his expression was unclear: "Okay."
Li Chaoge had never experienced such an embarrassing scene. In the previous life, Pei Ji'an took the initiative to leave at the wedding night in the bridal chamber. Afterwards, the two lived their own lives. Li Chaoge became married as if he were unmarried. He had never felt what it was like to be in the same room with a man late at night. She never expected that what was lacking in the previous life would be given to her in this life once and for all.
Li Chaoge was going to play tonight, and no one could be left in the bedroom, so after she took a bath, she chased all the maids away with an excuse. Now Li Chaoge regretted it a bit, she shouldn't drive people away, at least one or two maids should be left behind, otherwise why would there be one
Li Chaoge bit the bullet, and continued: "Do all the acting, otherwise the palace won't believe it. I? Sleep on the bed in the West Hall, I? I’m wronged and you’ll just settle down.”
Li Chaoge said, do you really want to roll up your sleeves? Gu Mingke moved to sleep. Gu Mingke turned over a page and said lightly: "No need, I? Just here. It just so happens that there are many suspicious things about the case of the cat demon. Let me deliberate a little bit more."
Li Chaoge paused, raised his head involuntarily, and took a careful look at Gu Mingke. Under the light, Gu Mingke's brows and eyes were peaceful, his demeanor was graceful, and he didn't show any signs of being in the same room with a woman or being shy or distracted, just reading a book very purely.
Li Chaoge's awkwardness just now was swept away. Other men are not sure, but Gu Mingke has nothing to worry about. Gu Mingke doesn't even think of herself as a man, so what is she trying to do
Li Chaoge took a reassurance, and his demeanor instantly became more generous. She even had a faint feeling that Gu Mingke might have thought about it a long time ago? He moved, and lived under the same roof. In Pei's mansion, he has to deal with the morning and night, the nagging Gu Pei, and the cousin and the blind date that pops up from time to time. But in the Princess Mansion, no one cares about Gu Mingke. He can finally let go of his hands and feet, and he can work overtime as long as he wants, and it doesn't even matter if he stays up all night.
This idea is very weird, but Li Chaoge somehow feels that it is true. She glanced at Gu Mingke without saying a word, raised her eyebrows, and went back to the west hall to sleep.
Li Chaoge lay down on the bed calmly, pulled up the quilt, closed his eyes and prepared to go to sleep, completely unaware that there was one in the room? What does a man need to be on guard against. No matter how lawless she is, she still knows that she has been stabbed today? Big Louzi, waiting for tomorrow, there will be bloody storms waiting for her.
Li Chaoge closed his eyes, and couldn't help thinking about what the emperor would do tomorrow, what the prince would do, and what the empress would do. She was trying to piece together elements that were beneficial to her, when she suddenly heard a voice from outside: "Have you taken the medicine yet?"
Li Chaoge was stunned for a moment, then opened his eyes in astonishment: "What?"
Gu Mingke originally thought that she had changed her medicine while bathing, but judging by her reaction, it was obvious that she hadn't. Gu Mingke secretly sighed, put down the book, and said to Li Chaoge: "The body is the foundation of all planning. You haven't completely cured your demon poison, and you've been drenched in rain for a long time today. Don't be careless. Get up and take the medicine first."
Li Chaoge was a little dazed. She hugged the quilt and got up, completely unable to understand Gu Mingke's train of thought: "You asked me to get up just to take the medicine?"
Gu Mingke didn't answer, he got up from his seat, stretched his long sleeves, and swept his clothes lightly, walking in the dark without the slightest stagnation: "Where is the medicine?"
"There is no medicine." Li Chaoge moved his right arm slowly, and said indifferently, "Medicine in the world is useless to monsters. The monster's poison is almost gone, no need to take medicine, and it will be fine in two days."
Gu Mingke couldn't help sighing: "You don't like taking medicine when you're injured, and you just want to fight hard. Who did you learn from?"
After finishing speaking, Gu Mingke thought? Li Chaoge was lost when he was six years old, and was brought up by Zhou Changgeng. Gu Mingke and Zhou Changgeng are not familiar, but they met each other in Heaven, how much? Know Zhou Changgeng's temperament. With Zhou Changgeng's rough way of life, it doesn't seem surprising that Li Chaoge was cultivated into this kind of temperament.
Gu Mingke heard that Li Chaoge didn't prepare the medicine for healing at all, so he stopped looking for it, but resigned to his fate and went inside, bypassing the screen, and said, "Give me your injury."
