The heroine Jiangshan

Chapter 181 I'm Going
A few days ago, when Gu Che was resting on duty in the palace, he heard the news.

At first, he laughed at the mysterious and mysterious companion who shared this "breaking news" with everyone.How could it be true? How could a princess like a tofu seller...

Gu Che's confidence was shattered when he heard Ye Shenyan's name.

He didn't know how he finished the rest of his duty that day, and he didn't show any strangeness in front of his companions, even when his companions winked and asked, "Gu Che, you are very close to the princess, why don't you know?" , but also showed a helpless expression in cooperation: "I really don't know."

He didn't know how he suppressed the urge to rush straight to Chonghua Palace and question Yun Ruochen—in fact, what qualifications did he have to question her?

Asked why she didn't discuss it with him?

Asked why she didn't choose him?

He is not worthy to ask.

He didn't know that after returning to the mansion, he even forgot to take off his duty armor, closed the door and fell into a coma all night, no matter how many servants knocked on the door, he didn't wake up.

The next day, he still appeared in front of Hetai Hall as usual, standing silently, patrolling...

He did not wait for her explanation.

News from the Clan Mansion is still coming in.The life of the guards in the palace is actually very boring. It is rare to have news. Even a group of old men can't help but keep talking about it.

Gu Che was also very gregarious, held his job bowl and listened to people talking about this and that, smiling, which disappointed many people who wanted to see his jokes - didn't it mean that Gu Che had an affair with Princess Huarong, it seemed that it was not the case at all thing.

I heard that Ye Shenyan doesn't look special at all.

The patriarchal family began to check his family tree, and it was going to list eighteen generations of his ancestors. It seemed that this matter was really going to happen.

You don't know yet, do you?Everyone in the Clan Mansion has said that the six rituals will start in one month!

Yes, yes, I have also received news that the Ministry of Industry has started to renovate the original Prince Jing's Mansion, saying that the Emperor is going to award the Prince Jing's Mansion to the princess to open the mansion.

What nonsense, Prince Jing's Mansion is so narrow.

The princess asked for it on her own initiative, hehe, otherwise how can I say that the princess is the most pleasing to the emperor?The emperor has feelings for Prince Jing's mansion.

Oh, it's all because we are too old to get the favor of the princess, hahahaha...

Gu Che watched helplessly as things developed step by step.eyes open.

He suddenly realized that in this matter, he should not wait for Yun Ruochen's explanation, but...he should explain it to Yun Ruochen.

That night, he went to find Zhao Xuan.Didn't go through the gate, went there in the middle of the night, with a jug of spirits.

"Didn't she tell you?"

"No."

Zhao Xuan's voice was harsh.

"Gu Che, do you know? She doesn't need to tell me, because I'm just an asshole."

Gu Che, who had been drinking heavily, suddenly came to his senses: "What did you do?"

"What an asshole I was, I didn't do anything."

Zhao Xuan's words pierced Gu Che's heart like a knife, making it difficult for him to breathe.

"There is one thing that you probably don't know. Although you were there that day..."

"what?"

"You have an elm head, you can't turn." Zhao Xuan looked at him sarcastically: "Why do you think Chu Qingbo deliberately pushed Chu Zhen in front of the princess?"

"Because the Chu family wants to 'dedicate' Chu Zhen to the princess as a son-in-law. Even if the princess doesn't choose him as a son-in-law, if they like him and are willing to keep him by their side, the Chu family is also happy."

"The princess is well aware of this, and later she directly told Chu Qingbo that she doesn't want Chu Zhen. She doesn't need a man who is like a plaything..."

"But she doesn't need it, cowards like you and me."

Zhao Xuan, who was always reticent, said a lot in one breath.Under Gu Che's dull gaze, he snatched Gu Che's flagon and took a few gulps.Drinking too fast, I couldn't help coughing.

Coughing and coughing, coughing up tears.

"We used to say we liked her, and we said we wouldn't give it up to each other, hahahahaha... But Gu Che, what did we do?"

"Fear the head and the tail, look forward and look backward..."

"I can't let go of the Zhao family, I don't even have the courage to say I like her."

"After what happened to Chu Zhen, I saw her once in front of the Jade Buddha Temple. She looked at me and smiled, with a touch of sadness in her eyes."

"She's blaming me... Gu Che, she's blaming me. Knowing that the Chu family is going to give her a man, I actually acquiesced. I fucking acquiesced!"

"Snapped!"

Gu Che slapped Zhao Xuan hard.

Zhao Xuan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly threw the jug out of his hand in a frenzy.

His external strength is far inferior to Gu Che's, but when it comes to hidden weapons, Gu Che is not as good as him either.The jug hit Gu Che's forehead accurately with an arc, and it shattered with a bang. The wine mixed with light red blood flowed all over Gu Che's face.

"It's not that we don't have a chance. We gave up first."

The two stared at each other as if confronting each other for a while, and after a while, they slid to the ground with their backs against the wall.

Gu Che didn't care about the wound on his head, and buried his head tightly in his arms, his body trembling slightly.

Many small fragments suddenly flashed by before the eyes, and each scene was so clear.

"Little girl, who are you?"

At that time, he had just been brought back from northern Xinjiang by his grandfather, and he was trapped in a house in the capital. He was extremely unaccustomed to this boring life, and had to fight with his servants every day—in fact, he was bullying his servants unilaterally—to vent his anger own excess energy.

He was so happy to suddenly find a very beautiful little sister at home.On a whim, he wanted Xiao Jin to scare her.

The servants in the family were scared enough by Xiao Jin, and all the maids cried in fear!
But she was not frightened at all, she was so calm that she even asked him to call Xiao Jin down to show her!
She is so special.

"...Ache, do you still remember that New Year's Eve night?"

Zhao Xuan's voice suddenly interrupted his memory.

"of course I remember."

Gu Che still didn't look up, and responded sullenly.

How could he not remember?On New Year's Eve that year, he took a lot of thought to ask her out to go shopping at the night market together.He wouldn't tell Zhao Xuan about throwing stones in her backyard to spread the word.

Originally, I had a good time shopping, but unexpectedly, I got into a group of hooligans who slapped flowers, and chased them for several streets.It was only after the lampstand fell that they rescued them, that is when they ran into Zhao Xuan who was passing by.

Oh, Ye Shenyan was there at the time.

Thinking of Ye Shenyan's name, Gu Che felt very complicated.

Zhao Xuan said to himself: "Then you should also remember that when we passed by the river, Chen'er suddenly wanted to set off the water lantern?"

"Remember. What are you talking about!"

Gu Che became impatient.

Can this person keep interrupting his good memories?

"Ha ha."

Zhao Xuan laughed, and there was an indescribable dejection in the laughter.Gu Che finally raised his head and looked at him. What on earth was this man trying to say?
Why does he have weird... bad premonitions?
"That day I accompanied Chen'er to release the krathong."

"You haven't seen what is written on Chen'er's water lamp, have you? She wrote a poem..."

"I was born before you, but I am old when I gave birth to you."

Gu Che had a headache: "Don't say things that I don't understand. I hate you guys who drop your books and are self-righteous."

"Okay, let me tell you. Gu Che, we have no hope from the beginning, do you understand?"

"You were born before I was born, and I was already old when I was born. I hate not being born at the same time, and being good to you every day. This is a poem written for an older lover. Oh, it may not be a lover, maybe it is just someone who admires..."

"Beside Chen'er, there are people who are older than her and whom she can admire, who else do you think?"

Gu Che was completely stunned.

Who else could it be?

Nie Shen.

He is stronger than any of them, knows Ruochen better than any of them, but has been willing to hide in the dark, and will automatically show up when she needs it...

Nie Shen.

"Impossible! You are talking nonsense!"

"I'm talking nonsense? Hahahaha... Ah Che, don't you believe me? Don't lie to yourself, do you think who it is? Do you think I'm lying to you?"

"Maybe Ruochen just scribbled!"

"When did you see her do something meaningless? Huh? Do you think she is a fool like you?"

"Who are you calling a fool?"

"I scold you!"

"impossible--"

Gu Che grabbed Zhao Xuan's clothes fiercely, pressed his head tightly against his forehead, his two pairs of burning eyes were almost pressed together, and each other's heavy breath sprayed on each other's face.

After a long time, Gu Che let go of Zhao Xuan, pushed open the window and jumped onto the roof, disappearing into the night.

He ran wildly in the dark, from one roof to another, running and running, running tirelessly...

When he woke up, he was lying on his bed, covered in dirt and dust.

It turned out that Zhao Xuan understood the deepest secret in Ruochen's heart so long ago.

It's because I'm dull, I don't know anything, I don't understand anything.That's right... Even what happened in front of his eyes, he couldn't see the Chu family's intentions. Is there anyone more stupid than him?
The person Ruochen has always admired is Nie Shen.

And after a lot of thinking, the one she chose to live together and face all the storms together was Ye Shenyan.

They all have one thing in common, which I and Zhao Xuan will never have.

That is... to live for her wholeheartedly.They're there when she needs them...

He couldn't even disobey his grandfather's wishes!

If he had the ability, he would leave the Gu family when his grandfather told him that he couldn't be with Ruochen. If he had the ability, he would tell Ruochen that he didn't care about anything, as long as she was there!

So, what qualifications does he have to be dissatisfied with?

Gu Che finally figured it out.

Then, he appeared in front of Ye Shenyan.

"I said, Ah Che." Ye Shenyan coughed twice, and took a few weak steps back.He may not be able to defeat Gu Che, but a person who loses his mind is scary, so it's okay to hide.

"Since you know it's her idea, don't bother me."

"...Did I trouble you?"

Yeah, what do you mean by opening your eyes and talking nonsense?Ye Shenyan despises Gu Che's behavior, rushing into other people's homes, pulling them aside and staring angrily, isn't that called asking for trouble?
Do you have to break your two legs and step on a few more feet to barely count?

"Oh, don't do this."

Ye Shenyan decided to speak up, so as not to be beaten to death with a sap in the back or poisoned to death in the future.

"You and Zhao Xuan like the princess very much, I know. But you should also be clear about your identities... right? Don't take your anger out on me."

"Be careful, I'm leaving."

"……what?"

go?
