Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 716

"suffering?"

Zhao Xiwei smiled in his heart, didn't you ask for this suffering?

"There are all kinds of tastes, life is like this, no one can escape." After thinking about it, she still suppressed the sarcasm, because Gu Yuci suffered such humiliation, and she didn't want to do anything to make things worse.

She looked at Gu Yuci with eyes as soft as water, and said slowly: "You choose the path yourself. If you insist on choosing this path, you must be prepared to endure hardships."

Gu Yuci's expression changed.

In a trance, there seemed to be a lightning strike in her heart, causing her to "buzz", and scenes of familiar scenes flooded into her mind instantly.

That year, he held his sword against her, and the sharp blade almost pierced her neck.

However, he finally let her go, and only said coldly: "Don't let me see you again."

She fled in embarrassment and sadness. The palace walls on both sides were sandwiched, and the sun was shining coldly. She held up the hem of her skirt and walked barefoot. She didn't dare to look back with tears until she went out of the double palace gate. On the high platform.

His eyes fell far away, and he didn't look at her. The breeze blew by, his sleeves fluttered, lonely and calm, like a bright moon, untouchable, unthinkable.

However, even so, she still cut off that strand of love.

The mother said that she was too impatient and too impatient, and the marriage of the children should be a matter of course.

They grew up together as childhood sweethearts. His mother and queen were her only aunt, and her father was his only uncle. They were supposed to be together.

She didn't believe that he had no affection for her.

She made the mistake of taking the first step too early, and he made the mistake of getting in touch with the government too early. It was when he was familiar with the emperor's mind, the first thunder of anger and the first rectification of the government, it started from the Gu family.

My father didn't complain too much about this, he just thanked him calmly, with a solemn tone: "I hope that your highness will get what you ask, and I will say goodbye to you forever."

Gu Yuci didn't hold any resentment either, she didn't even cry, she only opened the curtain of the carriage to take a look outside when the carriage drove out of Chang'an City Gate.

She knew that she would definitely come back.

Four years later, she and he met again.But this time, she was half a step too late.

She learned that he had already married the princess, and her background was extremely humble. She was just an illegitimate daughter raised in the countryside, but she was held in his hands and loved by everyone.

When she heard the news suddenly, she couldn't believe it.

He is so proud and so indifferent, how would he bow down for a woman?
Until she saw it with her own eyes.

In front of that woman, he did not hide the light in his eyes, nor did he evade his affection.

It turned out that he also had a gentle side and a smiling side, but it wasn't facing her.

She refuses to admit defeat.

God knows how hard she has worked these past few years, and she never slackens up for a moment, just to amaze his eyes when they meet again.

But who knows, she is half a step late.

This feeling of being just a little short of success is even more unacceptable than being a million miles away.

She didn't want to give up, and the Gu family didn't want to give up either.

Huang Tian lived up to it, she finally waited for the Zhao family to be suppressed, and waited for the emperor's edict of bestowing marriage.

Although she knew it was just a temporary trade-off, she still accepted it without hesitation.

He tacitly allowed her to live in the East Palace, and then he abandoned the woman he loved so much.

The outside world began to spread that she was about to become the new crown princess.

But she understood better than anyone else that he didn't have her in his heart.

She didn't want to watch the opportunity go by like this, so she had a bold idea again.

After five years, once again, his sword touched her neck.

This time, he was no longer the youthful young man of the past, he was now the powerful prince, colder and more determined than before, the tip of the sword mercilessly pierced her skin and wounded her body.

She knew what he meant.

He is using such a cold way to warn her not to overstep.

……

"Yeah..." She pulled away from her memories, looked at the woman opposite, and said with a light smile, "You are right, since you have chosen this path, you should bear no matter how much suffering you suffer."

She cut to the chase and said: "The conversation has already been made, so it's meaningless to go around again... Zhao Xiwei, I'm looking for you this time to negotiate with you—" her tone paused, her expression darkened, "Prince Your Highness has a deal with me."

"Oh?" Zhao Xiwei didn't even think about it, and asked casually: "Is it about the capture of the Queen Mother this time? Let me guess..." She thought for a while, then laughed: "He let you go deep into the tiger's den, Pretending to be a hostage, while holding back the queen mother, it also held off the reinforcements of the Wang family and the Pei family. If you did not accompany the queen mother to act, I would not have the opportunity to enter the palace; if I did not have the opportunity to enter the palace, you and my father would not be able to either Set up an ambush; if the two of them hadn't set up an ambush, then the soldiers from the northern and southern battalions would not be able to rush into the inner court smoothly..."

Zhao Xiwei's tone was flat, and he spoke in a calm manner, which surprised Gu Yuci a little.

"I have to say, His Royal Highness is really a master mover. This plan is linked together. If any part is missing, the whole game may be lost..." She took the chopsticks and tapped the porcelain plate lightly, Question: "Since it's a deal, then there is a bargaining chip. In return, what did he promise you?"

Gu Yuci stared at her, and after a while, slowly spit out a few words: "He promised me that after the matter is completed, he will let me be the princess—"

Zhao Xiwei's hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly, and a pastry almost fell off.

This subtle change did not escape Gu Yuci's eyes, she curled her red lips, smiled with pleasure, and asked again: "Do you believe it?"

Zhao Xiwei put down his chopsticks, and said in a calm but direct tone, "I don't believe it."

"Oh?" Gu Yuci raised the corners of his eyes, bright and charming, with a style of his own, "How long have you been together? Do you trust him that much?"

Zhao Xi's breath froze slightly.

Gu Yuci's smile deepened, but with a hint of desolation: "I have known him since I was a child, read and written with him, rode horses and hunted together for more than ten years..." She sighed softly, "It's not that I haven't seen him through... ...You have only been his concubine for half a year, so you trust him so firmly?"

"..."

Zhao Xi was slightly silent.

After thinking about it, she slowly said: "Actually... I don't trust him firmly, I just think that there is no need for him to do this."

After a pause, "You are obsessed with him. This is something everyone in the world knows. Even if you don't use the title of princess as a bargaining chip, you will definitely be willing to go through fire and water for him."

As soon as the words came out, I suddenly felt a little astringent in my heart.

Why is she not?
Her heart...her love...is with him, so even if he didn't promise anything, even if they have parted ways, she is still willing to turn the tide for him.

For a moment, she didn't know whether to sympathize with Gu Yuci or herself.

Women, you can't get rid of love in your life.As cautious and calm as she was, she couldn't break free completely.

"No." Gu Yuci's short word pulled her back from her thoughts to reality, "You guessed right but you didn't guess right either."
