It means Jiuxiaoxu long sword

Chapter 254
"If you don't meet the spring breeze, cut off the peach blossoms with the bottom of the sword."

Hearing that someone was coming, Chu Xi swiftly put away her sword, with a slight smile on her lips.

"How did you come?"

Eight years have passed, the thin young man in the past has grown into a handsome gentleman, if not because of his hostage status, many girls would throw flowers at him to welcome him.

"The man sent a letter saying yes, he wants to welcome me back to China." Gu Yuan pursed her lips, "I don't want to go back."

"Why don't you want to go back? That's your home." Chu Xi put the long sword back into the scabbard, and sat down at the stone table with Gu Yuan, "After all, you are just a guest here, you should know that not everyone is like me look at you."

Gu Yuan looked at Chu Xi fixedly: "I can't bear you."

Chu Xi laughed dumbfounded.

"What do you miss from me?"

Gu Yuan seemed to bear it, and struggled for a long time before finally plucking up the courage to hold Chu Xi's hand.

"I am pleased with you."

Chu Xi smiled: "Do you know who I am?"

"I know." Gu Yuan looked at her, "You are the Empress of Zhaohe, the Crown Prince of Great Chu, and the future Emperor of Chu."

"Since that's the case, what's the point of telling Gu about this?" Chu Xi's eyes turned sharp for a moment, and she also began to call herself "Gu", "Gu is the future Emperor Chu, and you are the prince of Gu Dynasty. Gu I was originally hostile to you, but Gu initially protected you, only to protect the weak."

"What if I don't want to be the prince of Gu Chao?" Gu Yuan looked very pitiful, "If I'm just Gu Yuan, are you willing to accept me?"

"..."

Chu Xi was silent.

It's just this silence, not because of being tempted.

In these years, Chu Xi treated Gu Yuan well, but in her own opinion, it was just raising a dog that was pleasing to the eye.

But now, this dog has overstepped.

Gu Chao's letter should be in line with Emperor Chu's wishes.

But Gu Yuan didn't want to leave, and wanted to play some tricks.

Innocent?innocent?
Chu Xi didn't believe that a person from the royal family could be so simple.

After a while, Chu Xi calmed down and suggested, "Today is the Flower Festival, do you want to go outside the palace?"

Gu Yuan naturally agreed: "Okay."

Chu Xi broke free from Gu Yuan's hand holding her without a trace, and turned around.

"Gu Yuan, have you really made your choice?"

Gu Yuan: "I know."

That being the case, there is nothing to say.

Chu Xi suddenly found things interesting. Apart from giving Gu Yuan some shelter, what else could she give him?

Do you want to take a place in Dachu by virtue of her identity?
Still want to take advantage of her to attack Gu Chao.

The world has been divided for too long, maybe it's time for the world to unite.

Chu Xi smiled lightly, and began to look forward to it.

This time during the Flower Festival, Chu Xi chose to leave the palace at night.

In order to avoid encountering each other again, Emperor Chu and Empress Chu deliberately chose another location far away from Chu Xi and Gu Yuan.

Don't ask, asking is a psychological shadow.

The Huachao Festival at night is bustling and lively. The streets are decorated with lanterns and festoons, and fireworks and tricks are everywhere. The river that runs through the imperial city is also covered with lit lanterns.

"Whether you want to release lanterns or not, flying lanterns is also fine." Chu Xi put a ghost mask on her face, "But if you want to release flying lanterns, you need to go outside the city, which may be a little far away."

Gu Yuan turned his head sideways, looked at the bright lights lit up in the sky, thought for a moment and said: "Flower lanterns, if the lanterns are flying, it's very good to see them from here."

Chu Xi took Gu Yuan to the river, where there were many people.Chu Xi likes to be lively, but hates crowds.

This is a very contradictory matter. Gu Yuanxu has been with Chu Xi for a long time and knows her.

"There are few people there, let's go there."

Chu Xi let Gu Yuan take her away without taking anything.

Gu Yuan originally took two lanterns, but when he heard that one of them was for himself, Chu Xi didn't want it.

Gu Yuan asked, "Why don't you let go?"

Chu Xi shook her head: "I have no wish."

Because, if she wants something, she can just get it herself, why bother to make these illusory wishes.

It's just a trick to trick the little girl.

When the lantern was lit, Gu Yuan carefully folded a piece of paper and stuffed it into the center of the lantern.

The light was weak, and it took a long time to completely ignite the paper.

Burned down to ashes, Chu Xi and Gu Yuan sat side by side by the river, enjoying the wonderful scene of Hua Chao comfortably.

"What wish?"

Gu Yuan: "If you say it, it won't work."

"Then I won't ask." Chu Xi said, "However, I really want to know why you like me. I have a domineering temperament. If I were an ordinary man, I'm afraid I would have avoided it long ago."

"It's not domineering, but because you are an emperor, that's the arrogance you should have when you were born." Gu Yuan looked at Chu Xi seriously, "I first saw you in the garden of Shangshuyuan. People bullied you, but you stood up and saved me. In the following years, it was you who protected me all the time. I was born dirty, but you pulled me out of the mud and gave me so many bright years."

Chu Xi wanted to laugh, but still looked at him with a little distress.

"You must have had a hard time living in Gu Dynasty's palace before, right?"

Gu Yuan lowered his eyes: "It's over."

"My biological mother was just an unfavored court lady. When she died, she just found a straw mat and threw it into a mass grave. No one knew about it. I was raised in the palace of a childless concubine since I was a child. If I have been childless It was okay, but in the second year, the concubine gave birth to a prince, and I became dispensable. In fact, I got used to the so-called bullying."

A person who has never seen the sun will naturally not hope for infatuation.

But if you have seen it, how can you tolerate losing it again.

However, Chu Xi is not Sunshine, and Gu Yuan is not the harmless person he said he was.

Chu Xi reached out and grabbed Gu Yuan's hanging sleeve.

"If you want to stay in Dachu, then stay." Chu Xi looked at him, "Actually, I like you quite a bit too. But you also know that I am the heir apparent of Dachu, and there are too many people. I am approaching with impure thoughts. So, can I trust you?"

Gu Yuan hugged Chu Xi's shoulders, affectionately: "In this life, I will spend it with Qing."

What Chu Xi didn't know was that Gu Yuan wrote these eight characters on the lantern.

After the Huachao Festival, Chu Xi went to find Emperor Chu and Empress Chu in person, and told them the whole story.

"Gu Yuan doesn't want to look back at the court, but just wants to stay in Dachu. He even showed his heart to me."

Empress Chu leaned on the soft couch: "Do you believe it?"

"It's half believable." Chu Xi sat down on the carved wooden chair beside him, "People's mouths can deceive people, but the heart can't. Maybe I was too kind to him in the past, which caused him to give birth to something that shouldn't be said. I have thoughts."

Empress Chu sneered: "Beware of playing with fire and setting yourself on fire."

Emperor Chu reluctantly interposed between the two women: "What Gu Yuan wants is nothing more than the word 'status', but he is not someone who is willing to be inferior to others."

"The royal family of the Gu Dynasty is in chaos. It is not Emperor Gu who wants to take Gu Yuan back, but a group of courtiers who want to support puppets. They just think that Gu Yuan is weak and can be bullied, but they don't know that Gu Yuan is not at the mercy of others. White Rabbit." Chu Xi took a sip of the tea in hand and stretched her eyebrows, "It should be that she wants to use my influence to fight for power."

"On the other side of the border, it's extremely quiet." Empress Chu put away her playful face and said seriously, "Someone is planning behind the scenes in Gu Chao."

Chu Xi looked at Emperor Chu: "I also hope that Emperor Father will secretly order Uncle Qingyuan to return to Beijing."
