Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 473 Chatting in the Temple
After the man in gray left, a thin figure appeared at the door of the courtyard, following the man in gray out of the yard from a distance.

After Gu Ruizhou returned to the wing with everyone, he didn't see Mr. Ran, so he went out to look for him. He just came out of the yard and met Chu Chengyao who was walking.

"Second Highness."

Chu Chengyao took two steps forward and gently lifted Gu Ruizhou's saluting hand:

"I've said it before, it doesn't have to be like this. I just have nothing to do and walk around the temple. It's rare to meet General Anbei. If we have nothing to do, why don't we come together? If General Anbei feels inconvenienced, just pretend that I didn't say anything."

Chu Chengyao's humble gesture made Gu Ruizhou unable to refuse:
"No inconvenience, Your Highness."

Chu Chengyao: "General, please."

The two walked side by side three steps apart, taking slow steps and chatting politely and distantly.

"I heard that His Highness comes here every year to worship the Moon Concubine?"

"Yes, my biological mother was born as a palace maid. She only got the title of concubine after giving birth to me and is not qualified to enter the imperial mausoleum. I can only set up a tablet for her here, come here to talk to her and worship her."

"Your Highness is a truly filial person."

Chu Chengyao looked at the sunset in the distance with longing in his eyes and said helplessly:

"I can't help myself when I am born into the royal family. There is only so much I can do for my biological mother. I only hope that after the emperor ascends the throne in the future, he can let me be an idle prince. At that time, I can also set up a memorial tablet for my biological mother in the palace. Worship every day..."

After saying this, he made a speechless statement and explained in a panic:
"General Anbei, don't think too much. I don't mean to be disrespectful to my father. I just worry about it every day in Kyoto and don't dare to relax. When I came here to see my mother and concubine, I couldn't help but relax, so I said I made some inappropriate remarks, and I have always hoped that my father would live a long life."

Gu Ruizhou: "It is human nature for Your Highness to miss your biological mother. I have not thought about it too much. I am not a talkative person either. Your Highness can just rest assured."

When Chu Chengyao heard this, he carefully looked at Gu Ruizhou's expression. When he saw the relieved smile on Gu Ruizhou's face, he breathed a sigh of relief and clasped his fists and said:

"Thank you, General Anbei."

Gu Ruizhou hurriedly returned the courtesy and said: "Your Highness, you don't have to be like this. You are a prince, and I am just a general."

Chu Chengyao said in a lonely tone: "What about the prince? Just because he is the prince, even if I don't want to fight, I am still hard to guard against overt and covert attacks over the years."

The two sat down on the stone bench in the pavilion, and Chu Chengyao sighed. The warm light of the setting sun reflected the sadness and helplessness on his face.

"Don't mention anything else, let's just talk about Miss Lin's assassination. How could it be such a coincidence that a palace maid drugged me to get involved, and then Miss Lin was taken to the side hall by the palace maid to witness me doing Meng Lang's deeds. Then, Miss Lin's city When he encountered a gangster outside, Zhong Yi's lost belongings happened to fall into Miss Lin's hands. From beginning to end, it was a coincidence."

Gu Ruizhou looked at Chu Chengyao and saw that the aggrieved and sad look on his face did not seem to be fake, he cupped his fists and saluted:

"What happened back then involved my little sister, so the General's Office was so resolute. Fortunately, His Majesty's keen eyes found out the truth and restored Zhong Yi's innocence. I'm really ashamed that His Highness was involved."

Chu Chengyao waved his hands and exhaled a long breath:

"I have always respected the great generals and the Taifu, and I know in my heart that both the General and the Taifu have been used as swords by others, and I have never complained. Now that I hear the General say this, I feel much better, at least for the General. In the eyes, I am not that dissolute and unscrupulous person."
