late night song

Chapter 30
For several days, Qi Jian was busy studying the defense of the northwest border and the deployment of generals. He did not return home. The war with Xirong could break out at any time, so he had to make early plans.

Gu Yuchu also took advantage of the opportunity of cultivation to carefully consider what happened after returning to Qidu.

When she was interrogated to the Xingxin Hall, she noticed the seismometer on the west side of the hall and realized the origin of the golden ball.

So how was it found in the belly of the ferocious beast? Was it a coincidence or someone did it deliberately?Emperor Ming seems to be particularly concerned about the golden ball, and has been holding it in his hands to polish it. So who stole it from the Xingxin Palace, and what is the story behind it?
She subconsciously felt that the story behind the golden ball was unusual and might even be related to the Northern Qi rebellion.

But there were too few clues to know, and it was even harder to deduce. Gu Yuchu was very upset.

This time he narrowly escaped death. Emperor Ming ordered the exile of King Hong and the death of Concubine Xian. This was obviously a sign of trust and favoritism. Does this mean that the injustice of Concubine Yi and the Yuchi family will soon come to light?
The flame of hope in Gu Yuchu's heart burned brightly. She paid attention to every imperial edict from the palace, hoping to hear news about the Yuchi family's rehabilitation soon.

…………

In the past few days when Qi Jian was away from the mansion, King Qi Jinyu of Han was very diligent. He sent Gu Yuxin new gadgets and exquisite jewelry every day. Even Gu Yuchu also benefited from it and got several earrings and bracelets. Chuan, I can't get it off even if I push it.

She knew what Qi Yiyu was thinking, so she couldn't help but stay between him and his sister without knowing it. She could stay in jail for several days, but she could hide in Linyue Pavilion because of her physical weakness, so as to save Qi Yiyu from talking about all kinds of things. The voice urged her to stay somewhere cool.

When Gu Yuxin saw her sister acting like this, she suspected that she was looking for an opportunity to bring him and King Han together. He was very anxious and even complained that his sister was afraid that she would forget her feelings and would often feel unhappy and sulky by herself.

The weather was very good today. In the pavilion of the inner pond of the palace, Qi Yiyu harassed Gu Yuxin to accompany him to feed the fish and chat. He saw that Gu Yuxin looked distracted, so he took out an exquisite wooden box from his sleeve and handed it to her. , but before the beauty in front of her opened the box, she hurriedly said:
"Sister, I knew my true feelings. I fell in love with you when I first met you, and I was even more overjoyed when we met again. The alliance of the Four Nations has ended, and Dongqi's country is peaceful and people are safe. I want to ask my father to betroth you to me. Do you like it?"

Hearing this unvarnished show of love, Gu Yuxin was so frightened that she quickly stuffed the box back into his hand.

"I also know that today is too abrupt, and I'm afraid my sister will be frightened by her gentleness, but I really don't want to wait any longer. Everything I said today is sincere, and there is absolutely no lies. No matter in the court or in the world in the future, I will always give my best. Love and protect her with all your strength, and we will never leave her until we grow old." Gu Yuxin's reaction was self-evident, and Qi Yiyu's heart dropped for the most part, but he still continued to promise without giving up.

"Your Majesty is sincere in every word, and Yu Xin is very touched. However, Yu Xin's status is humble, and she is so different from the royal family. She dare not expect your Majesty's pity and love." Gu Yuxin took another big step back, confirming King Han's infatuation. , and expressed his rejection tactfully.

"You know I don't care about identity and status, I just want to know that a beautiful woman will accompany me throughout my life." Qi Yiyu was still striving for it.

"But I am not King Han's confidant."

Gu Yuxin had no choice but to look up into his eyes and gave a definite answer, but at the same time, she was very touched in her heart.

Isn't it what she wants to spend the rest of her life with a husband who puts herself first in everything?This is also the wish of every woman in the world.

Although Gu Yuxin couldn't respond to him, she was very grateful for his wrong love, which made her feel affirmed and needed.

"Do you really belong to someone else?" Qi Jinyu asked dejectedly as the sparkles in his eyes dimmed instantly.

She bowed her head and remained silent.

"But what's the unspeakable secret?" He asked carefully without giving up.

Gu Yuxin remained silent.

"I also know that marriage is not a trivial matter. If you dare not respond because I didn't predict my third brother and my third sister-in-law, then I will confess my feelings to them immediately." Qi Jinyu was still making the final struggle. After saying these words, Take action immediately.

Seeing that the man in front of her was so impulsive, Gu Yuxin grabbed his sleeve, hesitated for a while, and then said:
"I...I have been dependent on my sister since I was a child. Regarding marriage...but my sister has the final say. I have already made a marriage contract."

"Who is it? I can go and ask Sister-in-law to change her mind."

Even after talking about it, some people were still stubborn. Gu Yuxin raised her eyes and secretly glanced at this man and sighed.

"King Qin."

Her voice was so soft that only she could hear it, but just this soft sound made Qi Jinyu stunned like thunder, and was stuck in place for a long time, unable to recover.

"Impossible! How could your sister betroth you to your brother-in-law?!"

Qi Yiyu, who had slowly come over, grabbed Gu Yuxin's shoulders and asked in a gloomy manner:
"Do you agree? How is this possible? You can refuse. I am here, so don't be afraid."

"I'm not afraid. My sister is my only relative in this world. Her wish is to protect me all my life. I understand, so I won't disobey her." Gu Yu replied firmly. She really couldn't give any more This man has no hope anymore.

"You can tell your sister that I can do it too! Isn't your own life important? Huh?" The man stared, trying to wake up the woman in front of him who he thought was obsessed and forgot about him.

"I just want her to feel at ease, so I've made a decision a long time ago." Gu Yuxin broke free from his entanglement, took a big step back, lowered her head and replied.

"What about third brother? How could he agree?"

Qi Jinyu put down his hands in a daze, muttering to himself in despair, and then laughed softly. "How could he disagree? Who would disagree? Gu Yuchu is a lunatic!"

"No, my sister has her own reasons. She is my only relative in this world."

Gu Yuxin, who had been relatively calm at first, felt a little guilty and a little panicked when she heard that King Han began to speak indiscriminately. Although she had lied for her own happiness and betrayed his deep love for her, she still couldn't bear to see him lose his mind. .

Also, although her sister stole her beloved, she was still her sister. She could not accept others slandering or even insulting her.

Qi Jinyu shook his head contemptuously, turned around and ran towards Linyue Pavilion. Gu Yuxin saw that he was in a daze, so he had to pick up the hem of his skirt and follow him, worried that he would do something ridiculous.

"Your Highness King Han, the princess is resting."

At the door of the West Pavilion of Linyue Pavilion, Liansheng tried to stop the aggressive King Han, but before he could finish his words, Qi Yiyu kicked the door open hard.

When Gu Yuchu heard the commotion, he felt helpless, wondering what kind of big event had happened, so that he was on fire.

"Gu Yuchu, how can you be so selfish?" Qi Yiyu's tone was sharp, and his eyebrows seemed to be on fire.

"Your Highness, King Han, what exactly made you so angry?" Gu Yuchu stood up from the couch with a surprised look on his face.

"I ask you, why did you marry Yu Xin to my third brother!"

"I..." Gu Yuchu didn't understand the situation and didn't know how to respond. At this moment, Gu Yuxin followed, panting heavily and holding on to the door of the west pavilion. Suddenly, she understood something.

"Have you ever asked Yu Xin about her thoughts? How could there be such a cruel sister like you in the world? You actually have the heart to let her be a concubine and serve your husband regardless of your sister's happiness."

Facing Qi Jinyu's question, Gu Yuchu glanced at Gu Yuxin, sighed secretly, and asked, "Why is King Han so sure that Yu Xin will not be happy if she marries King Qin?"

"That's also being a concubine! I can let Gu Yuxin be the upright princess of my Prince Han's palace!"

"Is King Han so sure that you can make the decision on your own marriage?"

Gu Yuchu grasped the key and asked another question, which made Qi Yiyu speechless for a moment. Before the man could respond, she continued:
"I'm afraid that she will fail Yu Xin in the end. If this is the case, it is better to stay in Prince Qin's Mansion and stay with me. I will be able to protect her throughout her life."

"How dare you promise that you are completely selfless? I think you just want Yu Xin to help you keep your position as princess!"

"Even if this is the case, it is my sister's business. I don't have to worry about the King of Han. If you have the ability to let me go with you willingly without borrowing the emperor's orders or asking the King of Qin, then I have nothing to say!"

Gu Yuchu seemed to be very powerful, but in fact she was very guilty. She didn't understand Gu Yuxin's thoughts, but she was also afraid that Qi Yiyu would actually go to Emperor Ming to ask for marriage in a fit of anger, or ask for Qi Zhen's approval through hard work and persuasion. If that happened, This is really the biggest disappointment to Gu Yuxin.

"You said that yourself!" Qi Yiyu seemed to see hope. He turned around and took Gu Yuxin's hands. Before he could speak, Gu Yuchu took the opportunity again.

"Yu Xin, my sister hereby promises that as long as you say what you want, I will go with you and personally ask the Holy Spirit to marry you. Today, you don't have to worry about the relationship between sisters, you only need to seriously consider yourself. .”

"You're shameless!" Seeing Gu Yuchu's preemptive strike and the sisterly affectionate threat, Qi Yiyu blurted out angrily.

"Your Highness, King Han, please don't make things difficult for me anymore. I will never disobey my sister in the slightest in my life!"

The two people were at war with each other. One was King Han who was deceived but still thought about himself, and the other was her sister who knew she was being kidnapped but still worked hard to cooperate with him. Gu Yuxin felt that she was nothing for a moment, and tears fell down. She was lying beside him. among them, begged.

Qi Jinyu stared at her blankly, frustrated and with red eyes. Then without saying anything, he stepped out of the door like a wandering spirit, leaving only the two sisters Gu Yuxin.

"Sister, I'm sorry." Gu Yuxin's face was full of guilt. She knew that she had coerced her sister and forced her to bear the bad name, but she could see Qi Zhi's plan clearly. For the sake of her own happiness, she had no choice but to take this step.

"No need to say it anymore, I know your thoughts. I will never let you down." Gu Yuchu's heart tightened, and the pain was beyond description. Although she wanted to control her emotions and behave as naturally and calmly as possible, But the harsh tone betrayed her.

"I didn't mean it..." Seeing that her sister's attitude was neither indifferent nor angry, Gu Yuxin felt even more guilty, and tears welled up unconsciously.

No one can control feelings, and she doesn't want to fall in love with the same person as her sister, but fate plays tricks on people like this, just like her mother and her sister's mother, serving the same husband, with the same deep affection, but no matter Whether it is to help others or to help yourself, there will always be people who are wronged, and there will always be people who shed tears and feel sad.

"No need to say any more, I'm tired, you should go back and rest."

Gu Yuchu was very upset and didn't want to hear anymore. She was even more afraid of seeing Gu Yuxin's tears. She promised her father to take good care of her sister, but this promise weighed on her heart like a mountain, making her breathless.

How could she betray her father's instructions and harm the only family around her for her own selfish reasons?
Love is the lightest thing in the world. If she can give it up, she can definitely do it.
