The queen is charming, but powerful ministers lure her to seize power and usurp the throne

Probably because of the drunkenness, the ends of his eyes were flushed, like the last flowers that bloomed in late spring. From the time they bloomed to the time they faded, no one cared about them.

Gu Heng only drank. No matter how much Wen Santong made jokes, he never spoke again.

Why ask?

Bit by bit, I know it best.

Zhe Sang thought he was just worried about his child's safety.

She didn't know that the only one who could really mess him up was Su Zhesang. From beginning to end.

If he had to calmly watch her go through such a dangerous torment with a big belly, he couldn't do it at any time.

He couldn't give her a peaceful and comfortable pregnancy like other women, and he already felt guilty asking her to follow him from Kyoto to here.

Timing is important.

He admitted that what she said was not wrong. Perhaps as the gentleman who taught her all this, he should be happy for her.

There was nothing wrong with her trying to pursue everything she wanted, maybe it was him who was wrong.

He shouldn't indulge in her gentle land. In this case, she wouldn't have to carry his child, and she wouldn't have to work so hard and have so many worries, and she could let go.

Gu Heng smiled bitterly. She actually thought he was just worried about the child?
*
Zhe Sang turned over.

As soon as he closed his eyes, he could see Gu Heng's lowered eyelashes and that panicked back.

She knew she was taking some risks, but wealth could only be gained through danger. If she didn't plan and give it a try, what qualifications would she have to pursue that position?
It is true that she made a promise, but what is the current situation?
Zhe Sang looked at the other half of the empty bed and suddenly felt a little aggrieved.

Gu Heng had never been like this before, leaving her alone.

Is he really angry?

When the night drum sounded at midnight, Zhe Sang sat up and put on her clothes. Gu Heng had been waiting on her during this period. For the first time, she realized that her belly was so big that she was even more clumsy to put on clothes. She wiped her face with a handkerchief, lit the lantern and was about to open the door. Suddenly she remembered something and came back to get her cloak and wrap it up, so as to save him from scolding her for this.

Zhe Sang was not afraid of the dark and did not disturb the servants, so he went to the lit study by himself.

Regardless of the threats or reasons given by Wen Santong, Gu Heng didn't say a word. He felt bored and went back in confusion.

When Zhe Sang opened the door, there was only Gu Heng sitting with his head propped up and two empty wine jars on the ground.

She lifted up the chair that had fallen to the ground next to her and saw his state clearly: her eyes were slightly closed, covering three thousand peach blossoms, her long crow eyelashes were like cold branches under the moon, and her brows were furrowed, filled with anguish.

Did she make him so sad?
Zhe Sang's eyes were sore and he raised his hand to smooth his eyebrows, but to no avail.

Deep self-blame suddenly welled up in my heart, as if Gu Heng was always more worried than happy when he was with him, and more disappointed than expected.

Obviously, when he first broke in, he was so casual, elegant and without any worries. He drank tea at night, looked back at the window, pinched her face and said softly, "Smile, okay?" "

He bowed his head for her and looked up for her.

He always told himself to wear more clothes when it was cold at night, but he was sitting here wearing only a thin middle coat and getting drunk alone.

"Gu Heng."

Zhe Sang patted his shoulder and called him softly, wanting him to go to bed to sleep, but he remained silent.
It was raining. Gu Heng looked inside the house and wanted to ask the maid to close the window, but found that Zhe Sang was not inside. Where is he asking? The maid said that she had not returned from the city. Gu Heng was angry and anxious, feeling annoyed that she couldn't stay in the house honestly. He grabbed his clothes and umbrella and got on the horse. He wanted to take her home. One person and one horse kept running in the rain. The road seemed to be endless. He didn't know when he would be able to bring her back to the warm house. He was afraid that she would get soaked by the rain and that she would slip on the muddy road. fall.

"Gu Heng. Gu Heng"

Finally he heard her voice and she seemed to be right in front of him.

she cried.

Why are you crying? (End of chapter)
