late night song

Chapter 46 Dare to ask your heart
After the banquet, Qi Jian returned to the palace with Gu Yuxin and Gun Nanxi.

Before departure, Gun Nanxi ordered the small kitchen to stew bird's nests and lotus seeds, and wanted to take the opportunity to invite Qi Zhan to her room.

Gu Yuxin was very sensible and did not get jealous with her, but she casually told Qi Jian that her sister had been bored in the house since she returned home, and she was worried that if she continued like this, she would be suffocated.

In this way, Qi Jian took this topic in mind and decided to go see the princess first, and at the same time told the two of them to go back to their own courtyards and rest early.

Seeing Qi Jian's leaving figure, Gun Nanxi gave Gu Yuxin a hard look, and cursed in his heart that this little bitch turned against him as soon as he returned home. He really didn't know how to repay his kindness.

Gu Yuxin smiled nonchalantly, was too lazy to pay attention to her, and went back to his own yard.

She knew in her heart that Qi Jian hadn't gone to see her sister for many days, and she was actually worried about her, but she couldn't find a suitable reason.

Now that she had this good opportunity, she naturally wanted to find a way for him. Firstly, she could help her sister reconcile with him. Secondly, she could make Gu Nanxi understand her sister's unshakable identity as the principal wife, and at the same time, it would also make her appear more virtuous.

This three-person situation is the best outcome that she has considered countless times since she was a child. She also sincerely hopes that both her sister and herself will be happy.

In Linyue Pavilion, after taking a bath, Gu Yuchu, with her hair disheveled, hugged her knees, sat on the corridor, staring at the moon in the sky in a daze.

Liansheng was afraid that she would catch a cold, so she refused at first, but then she was willing to give up when Gu Yuchu asked her to heat up a pot of rice wine.

At the turn of spring and summer, the climate is the most pleasant. The evening breeze is gentle and drinking some rice wine is very refreshing.

Gu Yuchu had a lot of thoughts, and she remembered the days she spent with Gu Fan and Xiao Ling in the military camp.

Gu Fan had been in a hurry to return to Beijing, but it was okay. The guard who had become Qi frame also came to Qidu. Although he could not see him for the time being, there would be many opportunities in the future. But Xiao Ling, she did not have time to say goodbye to him. , the sky will be high and the sea will be vast in the future, I wonder if we will see each other one day again.

Also in Qiongzhou, the capital of Hehe, the armies of Beiling and Dongqi were stationed on the spot at the same time. On the street, she once encountered a young man in the army of Beiling. Although it was just a quick glance, she felt extremely friendly. In a daze, she felt that that was her brother Yuchi Jingheng.

But when she went to look for him again, the boy had long disappeared. In addition, Qi Jie had issued a secret order that day asking her to return to Qidu immediately, so she did not dare to delay for a moment, and the clue was lost again.

Who is that boy?Could it be his younger brother?
Gu Yuchu was so deep in thought that he didn't realize that Qi Zhen had already been standing behind her, looking at her quietly for a long time. The moonlight was bright, the moon shadow was dancing, and the beauty was wearing no makeup, which was very charming.

Qi Lian walked towards her and gently sat opposite her.

Maybe it was because he drank too much rice wine, but Gu Yuchu was unusually calm tonight and did not behave awkwardly with him.

The woman didn't speak, she just raised the wine bottle and took another big sip. The rice wine was warm and just right. She smiled faintly at Qi Jian, this was her "fake brother", he was still so good-looking and outstanding. .

"What are you thinking about?" Qi Jian asked gently. Gu Yuchu looked really good-looking like this.

"Fake brother, besides that thing, do you have any other wishes?" Gu Yuchu rarely recalled the name he had called him when he was a child, his voice was soft, even a little coquettish.

"Drinking again?"

Qi Jian did not answer her question directly, but there was no trace of blame in his tone besides concern. If after drinking, Gu Yuchu could let go of his deliberate subservience to him and loosen the multiple constraints on himself, even if he was more willful or aggressive. , are all good, he doesn’t mind letting her have a few drinks every day.

Gu Yuchu didn't answer, he hugged his knees, rested his head on his knees, tilted his head, and just looked into his eyes quietly.

This was the first time in the three years since she returned to Prince Qin's Mansion that she had put aside her shackles and looked at him so calmly, not for anyone else or anything else, and not covering up her shyness to express but difficulty in controlling herself. emotion.Qi Jian was also surprised by her frankness today. He already had the answer to her question in his heart. He had been planning for many years. In addition to using this royal power to pay homage to his mother's soul, he also wanted to protect and cherish her forever. Chu's little sister has been in love with each other for a lifetime, but he still didn't say it out loud because he confidently felt that his Yu Chu would understand his sincerity one day.

"What are your wishes?" Qi Jian asked.

"its me?"

Gu Yuchu still smiled faintly, as if she understood the original intention of Qi Zhan's silence, and no longer struggled with whether she was included in his wish. She looked away sadly, looked up at the stars in the sky and said: "My fake brother's wish is my wish. My father’s wish is also my wish.”

"Other than that? Don't you have any wishes related to yourself?" Qi Jian frowned. He deeply blamed himself and regretted his cruelty back then, which made the innocent and romantic girl in front of him bear too much burden. Too much.

"Well, the world is so big. If possible, after the fake brother's wish comes true, can you let me go and have a good look?" Gu Yuchu said in a low voice, looking at the man sincerely, with stars twinkling in his eyes.

"impossible!"

Qi Jian's tone was stern and he refused. If she really wanted to see the beauty of the world, he would definitely be able to accompany her to trek through mountains and rivers and gaze at the stars and the moon when the power was restored.

However, it was obvious that Gu Yuchu's wish had nothing to do with him, which was what he could not accept the most. He was her husband, and she must have his protection and companionship by her side every day.

Gu Yuchu's eyes dimmed instantly and he lowered his head. The slight smile on his lips was still there, but it was a lot more bitter.

"Then forget it, just say it casually."

After that, the woman stood up gently, picked up the wine bottle, and walked directly to the West Pavilion.

But after taking a few steps, she turned around again, and Qizhen met her gaze. There was a lot of expectation in her eyes, but she said calmly: "I am slightly ill today, please come back, Your Majesty."

After she left, Qi Jian sat alone in the corridor and remained silent.

He stayed there for a long time, until the stars in the sky gradually dimmed, then he got up and returned to the study.

Since when did Gu Yuchu stop being as lively and cheerful as he was when he was a child?

Qi Zhen recalled over and over again when she was young, her eyes like stars, her smile like the warm sun, her little pout when she was at odds with him, her domineering behavior when she entangled her steps and wouldn't allow other little girls to get close to her. , and a willful attitude toward liking and disliking Ice and Fire.

But now, she really has no trace of what she used to be. Instead, she is incredibly regular and humble, with impeccable etiquette and ingratiation. She doesn’t particularly like anything, let alone dislike anything. She can even be so transparent when she doesn’t speak. Being noticed and being sensible makes people feel distressed.

Is it really my fault?

The two sisters had to choose one to send away to mountains of swords, seas of fire, and abyss and swamps. Then, in order to suppress their emotions, they forced themselves to ignore her for many years, which abruptly tore apart her feelings for home and love. His dependence made her feel exiled and accustomed to the darkness.

That's right, I was wrong, so wrong that it was so wrong that it was irreparable and irreversible.

Qi Zhi sighed deeply again and again.

But no matter what, he couldn't let her go again.
