late night song

Chapter 74 But I know the warmth and coldness
On the night of the palace banquet, Gu Yuchu sat under the extinguished lamp for a long time, unable to sleep peacefully at all.

Having escaped into Xunmen for a long time, she has long been accustomed to the darkness, but tonight she felt a chill in her back. Zhang Mengyi's words, the situation that she could discern at the moment, and her own guesses were intertwined, and she was actually a little scared. stand up.

So she lit all the lights in the room, but she didn't feel any better.

Ever since she came out of Anxiang Tower, she knew clearly that Qi Zhan was following her from a distance. She didn't make a sound, but hoped that he would stop her. But until she returned to Linyue Pavilion, she didn't wait for that opportunity. .

In fact, she didn't know what kind of explanation she hoped to get from Qi Zhan, but as long as he came, even if he didn't say anything, maybe she could feel relieved.

However, he did not appear after all.

Gu Yuchu smiled bitterly. After all, she was not qualified. He didn't have to explain to her, so why should she be persistent.

It wasn't until the fifth watch that the last candle in Linyue Pavilion was blown out.

She lay quietly on the bed, looking at the dim light of dawn on the window lattice, but her heart did not feel as stable as before. Instead, it became heavier, like a hot iron stone, penetrating her body and falling towards purgatory.

Whether it was about the old case of Yuchi or the sincerity of King Qin, she was eager to get a simple answer, a statement that did not involve any right and wrong, cause and effect, speculation and delusion, no misinterpretation of criticism, concealment of reservations, no reluctance, or insincerity, just a certain statement. At a certain time of year, month, and time, who and whom had what intentions, what choices each made, and the final outcome, good or bad.

However, the truth is wrapped up in countless interlocking secrets and conspiracies, and it has long been different from what it was before.Time is irreversible, so how can she clarify the past and restore the story to its original appearance?

I don't know when Gu Yuchu fell asleep. When she opened her eyes, it was already bright.

While Liansheng was dressing up, she learned that Princess Chaoyang had sent people to the palace early in the morning to deliver all kinds of supplements, drinking utensils, silks and satins, as well as four aunts with experience in taking care of childbirth.

The snow station was more lively than before, and there was an endless stream of people coming and going to congratulate her, but everyone tacitly skipped her, the so-called "mistress of the house."

Since everyone felt that her position was on shaky ground and that she was dispensable as King Qin's wife, she fulfilled their wish and went into hiding, never showing up from the beginning to the end.

Not having to worry about taking care of someone he didn't want to take care of, and not having to deal with all the people in his house who were so sophisticated, Gu Yuchu couldn't ask for more.

After a simple wash, Liansheng inserted the hairpin she wore every day. Gu Yuchu frowned slightly, but he hesitated and did not take it off. Then she got up and went to Anxiang Tower.

Gu Yuxin also stayed up all night, her eyes were red and swollen. Coupled with the cold night and heavy dew, she caught a cold and felt dizzy. She lay in bed and didn't even have the strength to get up and wash herself.

"Everything was fine when I left yesterday, why did she end up like this again?" Gu Yu felt heartbroken when he saw her like this for the first time.

"After crying, I feel better." Gu Yuxin told the truth without being harsh.

"Can you have something to eat?"

"No appetite."

"How can this happen? Feilin, go and wait in the front yard. If the prince comes back from the palace, he can come and see your master when he has time." Gu Yuchu ordered the maid who was waiting.

"No need, Anxiang Pavilion is not as good as staying on the snow platform." Gu Yuxin couldn't hold it back, tears welled up again.

"Give up so soon?"

Gu Yuchu sighed, feeling helpless at his sister's willfulness and anger, but her agitation received no response, so he simply changed his suggestion: "Then why don't you go with your sister?"

Seeing her sister say this, Gu Yuxin was stunned for a while, and then found an excuse to politely refuse: "There is still a family feud that has not been avenged, not to mention that we are already homeless."

Gu Yuchu smiled bitterly, they had indeed been homeless for a long time, and the past was a mystery. It was uncertain when the family feud would be avenged.

"I meant to take you to the market, where do you want to go? I see that you just can't bear to leave him." She joked casually, but Gu Yuxin's thoughts were exposed and he hid angrily. Close to her arms.

"If that's the case, then brace yourself. If you feel sorry for yourself and feel tired, you won't be beautiful anymore." She then consoled her.

"Yeah, yeah." Gu Yuxin nodded in agreement, "Sister, are you really going to the market today? Then let me freshen up quickly. I want to eat wonton noodles under the old camphor tree." "Forget it today, It’s not too late to have a good rest and be refreshed next time. I’ll buy wonton noodles for you.”

Gu Yuxin was really tired, so she stopped pestering her sister to take her with her, and quickly fell asleep.

Then Gu Yuchu left Anxiang Tower, and she wandered around the palace. She was just thinking about how to pass the useless time, but Gu Fan suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

"Sister, sister, sister." He called Gu Yuchu several times with a smile and excitement.

"I haven't seen you for a few days. Why are you free to see me today?" When Gu Yuchu saw it was him, most of the worries in his heart disappeared.

"You don't know, Xiao Yuan, that little Hell King, keeps me busy every day, and even pulls me to practice at night. I really have no time to spare at all." Gu Fan explained quickly, not forgetting to complain about Xiao Yuan. .

"Little King of Hell?!" Gu Yuchu was speechless, thinking about the King of Hell himself also made her mentally and physically exhausted.

"Don't worry about him yet, I've worked hard."

Gu Fan originally wanted to talk about his miserable life, but before he could finish speaking, Gu Yuchu struck him with a palm. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and avoided it completely.

"Sister, don't..."

Gu Yuchu had no intention of stopping, and then pressed his shoulders with both hands, flew upside down, and was behind him for a moment, then reached out to strangle his neck. Fortunately, Gu Fan leaned over and kicked him with a roundhouse kick, and was able to avoid the attack from behind.

Gu Yuchu jumped up again and kicked him in the nose with her feet. Gu Fan blocked it with her left hand and barely managed to avoid being hit. However, she grabbed Gu Fan's right arm and buckled it behind him.

"Have you tried it? Sister, you are really not gentle at all." Gu Fan turned his head and looked at her resentfully, with a look of helplessness on his face.

"I've heard this many times." Gu Yuchu didn't take it seriously and smiled and relaxed his restraint, "My kung fu has improved a lot. It seems that the little King of Hell has trained him well."

"Sister, let's go out and play. I heard there is a lantern festival on Water Street tonight." Gu Fan moved his arm that was clamped for a while, no longer entangled in what he had just done, and suggested happily.

"It's not the Lantern Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, so there's no lantern festival."

"Don't you know this? It's been ten years since the Qidu Private Chamber of Commerce was founded. In order to celebrate the prosperity of all businesses and the prosperity of business, this lantern festival was held with special approval from the imperial court. I heard that all the merchants wanted to show off their appearance. The talented craftsman has purchased many unique lanterns."

"It's not that I'm too busy, I still have time to ask about these things."

"Oh, let's go quickly. I also want to eat Yipinju's roast goose. Sister, you must have brought enough money."

Before Gu Yuchu could react, Gu Fan hurriedly pulled her out of the mansion.Although Gu Yuchu couldn't bring himself to do it, he didn't refuse. After all, it was better to go out and relax than to stay at home pretending to be virtuous.

The market is bustling with people, vendors peddling and hawking, pedestrians stopping to bargain, and the sound of wheels and horse hooves passing by, creating a scene of prosperity and prosperity.

"Sister, that's Tofu Weijie's stall over there. I heard from the brothers that their tofu curds melt in your mouth and are the best in Qidu!" Gu Fan dragged him around the market, taking a good look. When I eat, I look like my mouth is about to drool.

"When you talk about people, you still talk about Douhua." Gu Yuchu was still listless and followed lazily.

"You're not as good-looking as me, sister, why are you so lustful?" Gu Fan turned around with a look of disgust.

Gu Yuchu could only curl her lips. She was indeed more interested in people than Douhua. She thought that if Lan Ye were here, she would be the same as herself.

"Let's go, wipe your saliva, don't be in a daze." Gu Fan didn't care about the defense between men and women, and took her hand and went straight to the stall.

Douhua is indeed good, and Tofu Weijie is also okay. He has a delicate appearance, and his skin is whiter and tenderer than that of a woman. However, he is too feminine. Gu Yuchu is not interested at all, and mutters in his heart that Lanye will definitely not like him.

After that, they ate Yipinju's roast goose and drank jasmine sweet soup at the end of Feiying Street. Finally, after eating and drinking enough, they sat on the roof of the highest restaurant in Qidu City, stroking their round bellies. Enjoy watching the sunset.
