late night song

Chapter 288
Ji He has been living in seclusion since his mother was laid to rest. Purple Yan Palace granted permission for the brother and sister to live permanently in Princess Helan's Mansion without any reduction in their duties.

Even though the turmoil with the Prince's Mansion subsided, her original engagement with Zhang Yehou's eldest son was still unknown.

This would have been a good home.

Zhangye is far away from Yunjing. Although it is cold and remote, he is at ease. The eldest son of Marquis Zhangye has good conduct and is diligent and motivated. He is a good entrustment. Ji He will inherit the title in the future and will be extremely noble as the princess.King Lao Ling also considered the candidate for a long time before deciding on it, but it was a pity that Princess Helan did not understand his painstaking efforts.

King Zhangye was also unhappy because Princess Helan's palace broke up their marriage. In order to appease his ministers, King Lao Ling changed the imperial edict and asked Princess Yanyang to marry Zhangye. King Zhangye was flattered.

In fact, this was what Old King Ling meant, but Ling Buhuo was behind it all.

Although his sister has not done anything bad, she has helped Princess Helan stir up a lot of muddy waters. She is also a simple-minded and careless person. She will suffer big losses sooner or later. It is better to marry her to a remote place. Being a prince and princess is not a bad treatment.

But Princess Yanyang loves vanity, and being trapped in the bitter cold of Zhangye is equivalent to cutting off her dream of imitating Princess Helan's officialdom, having a beautiful house, and enjoying wealth and wealth forever. Naturally, she is unwilling to do so.

For the sake of her own future, she thought twice, mustered up the courage, and begged Old King Ling to take back her life, even if he allowed her to marry any noble family in Yunjing.

King Lao Ling asked her to consider what she had done. Feeling guilty, she suddenly panicked and did not dare to say another word.

On the day when the eldest son of Marquis Zhangye got married, King Lao Ling specially ordered the ceremony officer to add half the dowry, which made her feel better.

When the huge procession of seeing off the bride was leaving the city, Miss Shi Shi, who had narrowly escaped death, was waiting anxiously outside the city gate. She was dressed in plain clothes without makeup, but her beauty could not be concealed.Not long after, a carriage drove slowly towards her, and when the curtain opened, it was her brother who was sent to the border area for crimes and was pardoned by Ling Buhuo and returned to Beijing.

The two siblings reunited after a long absence, hugging each other and crying with joy.

Her brother had sunken eye sockets and was very thin due to overwork, and he did not have the high spirits of a young man at all.Shi Shi accidentally discovered that he was walking with a limp. It turned out that he broke his leg while quarrying on the border and was disabled for life due to lack of timely treatment.

Shi Shi wiped away her tears. Gu Yuchu's promises to her were all fulfilled, and together with her own savings, it was enough for them to return to their hometown to find a stable job.

Just as the two siblings were getting into the car and heading back to their hometown, someone called her.

Shi Shi turned around and saw that it was Ji Huan who was the betrayer. His eyes were cold and scary for a moment, but he was used to being a lowly person and felt that doing more was better than doing less, so he still spoke respectfully.

"Sir, what else can I do?"

"Where are you going?" Ji Huan gasped, obviously coming in a hurry.

"Go back home." Shi Shi replied calmly.

"Are you coming back then?"

"No, the prosperity and excitement of Yunjing have nothing to do with me from beginning to end."

"Then can I go with you?"

"How can a noble man like me be associated with a lowly person like me?" Shi Shi refused.

"I know I failed you, but you also lied to me, and we are even. My family is no longer what it used to be, but it makes me see myself clearly. Although you are entrusted by others, your love for me I can see those sincere intentions, and my friendship with you at that time is also sincere, and it still lasts to this day. I wonder if you can give me another chance?" Ji Huan was a little anxious and quickly expressed his sincerity.

Shi Shi had doubts and did not respond. Although this man was cowardly, he did not dislike or ridicule her, who was stained by the world. She was grateful in her heart.

However, she couldn't believe his sincerity, because she clearly knew that even if the man in front of her fell from the glazed platform, he was not just a mediocre trafficker to her. If he wanted to, there would always be a way to easily let her Turn into ashes.

"You don't believe me?" Ji Huan lowered his eyebrows, thought for a moment, took out a golden key from his chest and stuffed it into Shi Shi's hand, "This is all I have."

The highest-level deed of Fengyun Bank was once shown off by a drunken patron in the Flower House. Shi Shi recognized it, but she knew her own weight too well. This was something she wanted but could not afford.

"Sister, aren't you leaving yet?" At this time, her brother opened the curtain and asked, interrupting her thoughts.

"This is my younger brother. He suffered from injuries to his legs and feet. I'm afraid he will never be a normal person again in this life."

"I can hire the best doctor for him."

Shi Shi shook his head, unfolding his future embarrassment, and politely refused again: "I will take good care of him in this life."

"With your permission, your brother will be my brother, and I am willing to accompany you and take care of him for the rest of his life."

The golden key of Fengyun Bank did not move Shi Shi, but the words "I do" aroused ripples in her heart.

"Thank you for your wrong love, sir. You are the moon among the clouds, and I am the water of the stream. Even if I am lucky enough to see the moon shining brightly, it is difficult to leave the glimmer of light between my fingers. Shi Shi, I wish you good health for the rest of your life and that you will get what you want."

After that, Shi Shi got on the carriage, leaving Ji Huan speechless and sad.

But one month later, Ji Huan took all his belongings and found Shi Shi's place of residence and settled next door to her house.

Shi Shi didn't know what was wrong, thinking that he was seeking revenge for this, so he sent out the signal Gu Yuchu left for her that night, and the messengers in embroidered clothes were dormant nearby, waiting for anything unusual to save her from fire or water.

For three months, there was no movement.

Ji Huan visited her noodle shop every day and served her customers when he was busy. He never looked like a noble son of the capital.

Since his mother passed away, the shackles on his throat have been lifted. Without the pressure and whipping to get ahead, without the sycophants who surrounded him, he has truly breathed a sigh of relief, and is tired of the prosperity and indifference of Yunjing. .

He just wants to be a useless person and live an ordinary life with the person he is passionate about. This wish that he never dared to express has now become easy to achieve.

So, he begged Gu Yuchu to tell him Shi Shi's whereabouts, and finally expressed his feelings in such a simple way.At first, Gu Yuchu couldn't worry about him. She sent people everywhere to check Ji Heng's whereabouts before leaving and leaving Yunjing, and sent people to follow him to Shi Shi's hometown. In addition to the embroidered clothes messenger to protect Shi Shi's safety, she also ordered people to follow him to Shi Shi's hometown. People secretly kept a close eye on Ji Heng for several months.

Half a year later, Shi Shi received a letter from Gu Yuchu, convinced that Ji Huanyuan had no intention of harming her, so she felt relieved and began to truly accept him.

"Why do you need to help him like this?" The warm winter sun shone on Ling Buhuo's shoulders. He put down the memorial and looked at Gu Yuchu, who was leaning against the window and reading letters.

"I'm not helping him, it's him letting himself go."

The woman smiled and rubbed the sunshine in her hands, her thoughts wandering: "I just felt sorry for Ji He and was alone, so I cruelly gave up all my thoughts and went to Lingshan."

"It's not that Ji Huan came back to pick her up and live with her, it's because she didn't want to."

"Girls, without their parents, have no home anymore..."

Feeling the same, Gu Yuchu's thoughts wandered for a long time before he came back to his senses and said to the man next to him: "You are so busy every day, and Shu Yuan sent him to another city to teach his son, Yan Feng, to practice his internal skills, and I have nothing to do." , I want to go to the academy and see Gu Fan."

"I thought you were going back to Hehe."

"The few people you selected for me are very capable. I don't need to worry about it." Gu Yuchu squinted at him, indicating that she had long known that Ling Buhuo's arrangement for Bole's visit to the Qiongzhou government office was the result.

"Yan Ting, Fang Kuan has the sun and the moon on your chest. It's your sharp eyes that know the pearls." Ling Buhuo smiled and said, "However, I think you should go back to Hehe to make some preparations. The Spring Equinox is the auspicious day for your wedding and mine."

"What are you planning? I don't have a dowry." Gu Yuchu responded domineeringly.

"As long as people arrive." Ling Buhuo lowered his head and smiled and opened an unreviewed memorial.

"Where's the betrothal gift?" The woman moved to the desk, leaned down close to him, spread her palms, and wanted to gain an inch but wanted to take another step further.

"Isn't being hired by the country enough?" Ling Buhuo raised his head and tapped her forehead with his knuckles, lovingly and tenderly.

"Who cares?" Gu Yuchu sat upright and raised his eyebrows slightly, with a look of disgust on his face.

"Then what do you want?" The man put down his official duties, stretched out his hand, and pulled her into his arms.

"I want the freedom to enter and leave Beiling."

"General Yuchi is invincible, and Ziyan Palace cannot trap you in the slightest. Besides, you still need to manage Hehe personally. What are you doing in that boring palace all day long? As long as Lord Yuchi always remembers that you have a husband like me. That's fine." Ling Buhuo lowered his head and rubbed her ear, telling her not to worry too much.

"Then I want something else?"

"Do you want Wutan Tower?"

"How do you know?!" Gu Yuchu rounded his eyes, tilted his head angrily, and stared at him and asked.

"Okay, okay, then ask again." Ling Buhuo suppressed his laughter and teased.

"I want Wutan Tower."

"No!" Before the words could be finished, the man immediately objected.

"Why?" The woman was so angry that she almost jumped up, but she couldn't resist the entanglement of the man's hands around her waist.

"You have serious things to do. Why are you always going to those places where people are singing and dancing? You have spent your mind carefully and you can't recognize the door home...Besides, the man playing the piano is really far behind me... "

"Are you very free today?!" Gu Yuchu knew his awkward thoughts, and most of his unhappiness disappeared, and he hit his forehead with his head.

"Then I'll allow him to come to the palace as a steward, so you can see him every day, okay?" Ling Bu was confused and said, squinting his eyes to please.

"What do I do when I see him every day?!" The woman rolled her eyes and deliberately provoked, "Forget it, forget it if you don't want to part with it. Could it be that the hidden beauty in the golden house doesn't want me to know."

"Ha, let's beat it up, you are the best. Wutan Tower is the gathering and distributing place for the Embroidered Clothes Messenger's information, you will be too busy."

"You Yanfeng, please help me."

"Aren't you afraid that she will become the second Helan?"

"Are you a laissez-faire brother?! Her brain really can't hold so many things. Besides, I just want to make money. I don't want to worry about the business behind it."

"You have already made a lot of money from the Daughter's Banquet in Yuquan Palace, so you don't have to worry about He He's finances not being able to make ends meet."

"Stop talking nonsense, are you going to give it or not?" Gu Yuchu pinched his ears with both hands and threatened.

Ling Buhuo shook his head, knowing that he would definitely lose if he fought against her, and then he readily took out a gold jade plaque inlaid with hibiscus branches from his waist and handed it to her.

"Wu Tan Tower and Xiu Yi Messenger will listen to your orders from now on, but one thing is, stay away from those men."

The woman happily took the token, smiled slyly, and replied soberly: "Whether the embroidered messenger listens to the order or not has nothing to do with this token, but thank you for your kindness. In addition, I will keep a distance from them, but long If you are too handsome and unrestrained, you can’t guarantee it.”

"After tasting my stunning beauty, they are just vulgar powder." Ling Buhuo smiled confidently, and then kissed her.
