Chapter 87
Qiao Suyi was sitting on the small stool at the door in a daze, when Mrs. Gu's sedan chair stopped at the door, she realized it belatedly.

She peeled off all the silk wrapped around her hands, and saluted Mrs. Gu respectfully.

Mrs. Gu nodded slightly, and said: "Go into the room, I have something to say to you alone."

The last time Mrs. Gu came, she was asked to be Gu Shao's concubine. She didn't agree. Although in the end she had an unpleasant fight for face, after all, Mrs. Gu was an elder, and she didn't neglect her.

When the two entered the house, it was actually colder inside the house than outside.

Mrs. Gu just wanted to take off her cloak, but she put it on again because of the cold, she frowned, "Why don't you light a fire in such a cold day?"

Qiao Suyi was startled, and said in a low voice, "Sorry, I forgot."

As she spoke, she was about to start a fire, Madam Gu said: "It's okay, come here, I'll talk to you."

Qiao Suyi sat beside her and looked at her quietly, without any expression on her face.

Madam sighed, "My Shao'er is ill, do you know about this?"

sick?

Qiao Suyi's eyes suddenly widened a little, and her expression became tense, but for a moment she felt that this was not something she should care about, so she continued to lower her eyes and shook her head.

Seeing her reaction, Mrs. Gu could easily guess that this girl was not heartless towards Gu Shao.

Madam said: "I can see that you have Shao'er in your heart, and Shao'er also has you in his heart. Why are you so stubborn and refuse to be a concubine?"

Qiao Suyi smiled wryly, and said, "Ma'am, are you happy?"

This sentence made Mrs. Gu's head dumbfounded.

She added: "Whenever Gu Chengxiang goes to other women's rooms, or stands with other women, do you feel happy because of his happiness? Or do you feel pain and hate those Women, they took your husband away?"

Mrs. Gu was in pain when she asked, is there any woman in the world who is generous enough to share her husband with others?
Naturally, there is no such thing. If there is, then he must not have any love for his husband.

Mrs. Gu sighed, and said: "You know, when I was your age, I had the same idea as you. I thought that if someone could marry me, he would only be good to me for the rest of his life. But the truth is In reality, many things cannot be decided by oneself. Men’s love is different from women’s. When they love someone, they are vigorous, just like Shao’er is doing to you now, looking for death and life. But their love is not long-lasting. Maybe today’s love You, maybe tomorrow, maybe love you for a month, maybe a year. But there is always a deadline, even if he only marries you now, he will fall in love with someone else in the future. "

Qiao Suyi cannot deny that there are such people.

But such a person is not what she wants.

"But it's not fair."

Mrs. Gu shook her head, "There is nothing in this world that is absolutely fair, just like why women can't be emperors, why can't they be officials, why can't they be pampered?"

Qiao Suyi said: "But I don't accept unfairness. If he loves me, he can only have me alone. If he falls in love with someone else in the future, I will not stay with him. To me, this is my Only fairness can be achieved."

Madam Gu probably never saw a person who spoke to her like Qiao Suyi, nor heard such rebellious remarks.

But for some reason, at this moment, she has a little admiration for this Qiao Suyi.

Perhaps because she is also a woman, she is also envious of Qiao Suyi's courage.

The two couldn't convince each other, Madam Gu said, "Gu Shao is sick and dying."

Qiao Suyi stared at her blankly, but those trembling eyes and her tightly clenched hands betrayed her master's fear.

Mrs. Gu: "It's because of you that he's sick. He doesn't eat, drink, or sleep. The doctor said he won't live for more than a month."

Qiao Suyi stood up with a bang, and subconsciously took a step back, almost tripping over the small stool behind her.

She staggered to her feet, shook her head, and said, "Impossible, he...he obviously..."

He's obviously fine.

No, he is not fine.

Qiao Suyi remembered that when Gu Shao came for the last time, she was already in a trance, her face was pale, like a seriously ill person.

Has his health been bad since then?
How...how could this be?
Mrs. Gu saw her worry, and said: "Now he only has one month left, are you still unwilling to marry him? He's already near the end of his life, do you still care about those titles?"

Qiao Suyi had the idea of ​​compromise for the first time.

Yes, he was dying, what was she fussing about?
She sniffed, tears rolled in her eyes, "I want to marry him, just for a day."

Madam Gu was waiting for this sentence, she continued to ask: "Even as a concubine?"

The tears in Qiao Suyi's eyes had already slid down, falling to the ground drop by drop, with a pathetic despair.

"Even as a concubine!" She said firmly.

This is the result Mrs. Gu wanted.

She also stood up, took Qiao Suyi's hand, and said: "Good boy, good boy, I'll go back and prepare now, Shao'er's days are numbered, and tomorrow... Tomorrow, I will marry you. It's just this concubine's room." The etiquette should not be too ostentatious, can you understand?"

Qiao Suyi didn't care about that at all, she just wanted to see Gu Shao now and be with him, even for a while.

"It doesn't matter, I want to marry him now, right now!"

Mrs. Gu was stunned for a moment, and said, "This... okay!"

There is no bright red wedding dress, no guests, not even a husband.

Qiao Suyi bowed to a rooster that replaced Gu Shao, and hurriedly sent it to Gu Shao's room.

After a long time, when she saw Gu Shao again, the man no longer had the strength to open his eyes.

He lay there quietly, like a fragmented corpse, without a trace of life.

Qiao Suyi sat on the edge of the bed and pulled his hand out from under the quilt.

A little stubble grew on the boy's face, but it couldn't hide his thin cheeks.

And his hands, which were originally slender and slender, seemed to have only joints left at this moment.

"Gu Shao, don't you want me to marry you? I'm married to you now. Open your eyes and look at me!"

Her vision was already blurred, and she took his hand to cover her cheek.

Give that cold body a little warmth.

The boy seemed to have heard her words and moved his fingers.

Qiao Suyi stared at him blankly, and continued: "Don't you look at me? Don't you want to marry me? Then I won't marry you either, Gu Shao, did you hear that?"

She put down Gu Shao's hand cautiously, but the man held her tightly.

The boy's pupils opened with difficulty, the pair of peach blossom eyes that were extraordinarily beautiful, but at this moment they became a little pitiful because of haggard.

In the next second, those eyes were already filled with tears, and he opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but couldn't speak.

Such a scene was like when he was lying in Qiao Suyi's house when he was so hurt that he couldn't speak, looking at her quietly.

But the difference is that at that time, she always had an indifferent face towards him, but at this moment, she was indeed tearful and distressed.

Qiao Suyi wiped away tears casually, and said: "Gu Shao, you won, I married you, and I will be yours from now on."

Although talking about the future, there may not be any future.

He can't live long, and she can accompany even less.

The young man raised his hand with difficulty, trying to wipe her tears, but he couldn't lift his arm at all, halfway through the lift, it fell straight down.

Qiao Suyi was willing to marry Gu Shao.

After getting married, she took care of Gu Shao with all her heart and soul every day, and did not leave anyone behind.

It's strange to say that on the day of their wedding, Gu Shao looked like he was about to die.

But under Qiao Suyi's care, he miraculously recovered.

A month later, Gu Shao not only did not die as Mrs. Gu said, but became more energetic.

It's hard for Qiao Suyi to think that he was going to die, so she planned to go with him.

The first thing Gu Shao did when he was strong was to hug Qiao Suyi to the couch by the waist, hold her tightly in his arms, and bury his face in the crook of her neck.

With a whimpering sound at the end, he said lightly, "Why are you so cruel?"

Qiao Suyi held his hand, "Am I cruel? You are dying, I'll marry you, and you still think I'm cruel?"

The boy hummed, "You pity me?"

"I like you."

In the hollow of the neck that Qiao Suyi couldn't see, the boy finally showed a smile.

He whispered: "I like you too, you are finally mine."

Qiao Suyi turned around slowly, looked at his face, and pressed a kiss on his lips lightly, "Well, I'm yours now."

The young man blushed immediately, his peach blossom eyes trembled, showing a little shyness and pity.

"I'll be good to you forever."

"Well, forever."

At first, Qiao Suyi thought that the lifetime that Gu Shao said was out of reach, because they didn't have a lifetime to get along with each other.

But gradually, as Gu Shao's health improved, she began to have a glimmer of hope that maybe they could really be together for a lifetime.

Until a month later, she heard that the prime minister's mansion was going to marry Gu Shao a wife.

On that day, Qiao Suyi dressed up very beautifully, and she and Gu Shao agreed to go to the countryside to play.

When I was about to go out, I heard a few servants talking.

"Master, are you really going to Miss Guo?"

"That's right, the date of marriage has already been set, and next month, it will be very difficult to coincide with this auspicious day."

"Where's Mrs. Joe?"

"That's just a concubine's room."

When Qiao Suyi heard these words, her head was in a daze.

She remembered what Mrs. Gu had said to her before she married Gu Shao.

At that time, she just said that Gu Shao didn't have a few days to live.

Qiao Suyi married Gu Shao in such a haste because she didn't want to leave any regrets.

But now, Gu Shao's health is getting better, she didn't expect this, he... After he gets better, he will still marry a wife.

A chill gradually climbed up Qiao Suyi's back, and she couldn't help shivering.

Suddenly, the boy pushed the door open and came in, "Su Yi, are you ready? I specially asked someone to bring the horse over. I will take you out on a horse ride today."

There was a bright smile on Gu Shao's face, and that beautiful face was even more radiant against such a smile.

Qiao Suyi looked at his face, wanted to ask something, but suddenly couldn't say it.

Maybe he didn't know it yet.

Qiao Suyi pursed her lips, resisted the doubts in her heart, and said, "Well, well, I've never ridden a horse before."

Gu Shao smiled and nodded her nose, took Qiao Suyi's hand, and ran out.

A maroon-brown horse was being led by a servant and stopped at the door.

Gu Shao's movements were crisp and neat, and he jumped up.

He held out his hand, "Give me your hand."

Qiao Suyi held his hand, and the man exerted a little force, and she was pulled onto the horse by Gu Shao.

She always thought that Gu Shao was that kind of delicate and weak image, but she didn't expect him to be quite strong, so she was a little surprised.

He asked, "Why are you looking at me like this? Look ahead."

Only then did Qiao Suyi realize that she was turning her head and staring straight at his face.

She cleared her throat in embarrassment, and sat up straight.

Gu Shao whispered in her ear: "I know I'm good-looking, you like to see it, we close the door, you can look at it however you want, even whatever you want. There are still people here, don't be ashamed , I'm still ashamed."

Qiao Suyi was amused by him and said hello.

The boy drove the horse forward, all the way to the mountains.

It was the first time for Qiao Suyi to sit on the horseback, and she was inevitably a little scared. She tightly held Gu Shao's hand holding the rein with both hands, and leaned on his back.

After entering the forest, Gu Shao's horse slowed down a bit.

He remembered the incident when he fell into the pit while riding a horse. Now that he was not the only one on the horse, he had to be more careful.

The horse walked forward slowly, Gu Shao hugged her from behind, and spoke in her ear deeply.

"I wanted to ride around with you a long time ago, to show you, and I'm not useless."

She never felt that he was useless.

Qiao Suyi looked back at him, the man's eyelashes drooped, and said: "You look at me like that, I can't help but want to kiss you."

Gu Shao was a man of his word, he lowered his head and kissed her.

Qiao Suyi's heart suddenly felt like a rope, with several knots tied in it, which could not be untied no matter what.

She wanted to ask Gu Shao if she really wanted to marry a wife.

But she is also very clear that in such an atmosphere, this kind of topic must destroy the atmosphere.

At noon, Gu Shao helped Qiao Suyi get off the horse. He tied the horse to a tree and accompanied Qiao Suyi for a walk beside the stream.

That stream was so clear that you could even see a few small fish swimming back and forth clearly.

Qiao Suyi squatted down, tapped the calm water surface with her finger, and suddenly there were layers of ripples.

The fish that had been staying underwater also scattered in all directions.

Gu Shao squatted beside her and held her hand.

"The water is too cold, stop playing, what if you catch a cold?"

Qiao Suyi looked back at him and said, "Gu Shao, if I'm not by your side one day, will you be sad?"
