Chapter 142

It seemed that it was only at this moment that Gu Yunxian realized that he was standing in the cold wind on New Year's Eve, and his whole body was completely cold.

One of her hands was still held by Cui Shuo, and just a moment ago, this man told her about his lovesickness for many years.The sound was still in their ears, and the tears on her face were still wet, but her husband suddenly appeared in front of them.

Such a scene is really like being caught and raped.

Gu Yunxian froze on the spot, watching the emperor come out of the darkness step by step.His steps are very slow, and it seems that every step takes a lot of effort.When he finally got a little closer, she saw his pale face without a trace of blood.

His eyes are so dark, like a bottomless abyss, swallowing everything.

Cui Shuo let go of her hand without leaving a trace, and called beside her, "Your Majesty."

The emperor ignored him, but stood still in front of Gu Yunxian, looking at her without blinking.

Gu Yunxian exchanged glances with him, then couldn't bear to look away, and met the crown robe on him.Such a majestic outfit looked so dazzling at this moment that she couldn't even open her eyes.

Seeing the emperor's expression, Cui Shuo wanted to stand up and stand in front of Gu Yunxian for a moment.However, the remaining sanity stopped him.He was familiar with the emperor's temperament, and knew that any action at this time might completely anger him.All he can do is wait.

The emperor slowly raised his hand and touched Gu Yunxian's cheek.It took her a moment to realize that he was wiping the tears on her face.

"Why are you crying?" His tone was soft and gentle, as if he was talking to his ignorant little daughter, "The last time I saw you crying was five years ago."

Gu Yunxian took a deep breath and explained, "Your Majesty, there is no innocence between my concubine and Master Cui."

"I know." He nodded with a smile, "I heard everything you said. I can probably guess what's going on."

"so……."

"But who did your tears shed for?" He said softly, "It turns out that you are so sad to marry me..."

Gu Yunxian's heart was instantly frozen by ice.

The emperor took a step back, looked at Gu Yunxian, and then at Cui Shuo, finally showing a trace of deep pain in his eyes.

This is the courtier he regards as his confidant, and this is the first wife he puts on the top of his heart, but they had such a lingering lovesickness in a place he couldn't see.

Just now he looked at them with teary eyes facing each other, under the bright moonlight, they looked like a pair of lovers.But he was hiding in the dark, passively listening to those moving words.

At that moment, he seemed like a total outsider, never able to get involved.

On the morning of the first day of the first lunar month in the 11th year of Yongjia, Ah Ci cautiously walked into the east hall of Jiaofang Hall, but saw Gu Yunxian sitting by the window with his hands folded around his knees, quietly watching the rising sun in the distance.

She hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and said, "Miss."

Gu Yunxian didn't look back, but still looked in the original direction.

"Miss, did you not sleep all night?"

After waiting for a while, I heard Gu Yunxian slowly say: "I slept for a while. Then I woke up, and I couldn't fall back asleep."

In fact, the moment she fell asleep was almost the same as when she was awake, and her mind turned over and over again about what happened next night at the Qing'an Hall.

A Ci's eyes turned red, "It's all my fault for my servant's badness. The servant was clearly guarding there, but I didn't see His Majesty and the imperial concubine, this servant..."

Gu Yunxian said lightly: "I already said it last night, I don't blame you."

Ah Ci was standing on the corridor, but the emperor and Yin Fansu came from the other side of the path, so she couldn't see them.

"Others do calculations with their minds but without their minds, how can we guard against it?" She taunted with the corners of her lips curled up.

"If you have a heart, you have no heart? What does Miss mean..."

Gu Yunxian's eyes were watery, and he didn't say a word.

Many things have to wait until later to discover the clues.Looking back now, everything last night was too unusual.She and Cui Shuo are both cautious, but why both of them lost their vigilance and said those words there.

She thought of those fine wines served in white jade cups, and smiled wryly.

No wonder she felt dizzy, hot and upset after only drinking a few glasses of wine last night. There must be something wrong with the wine.And that wine glass, she thought she didn't catch it, but now it seems that Gong'e dropped her hand on purpose when it was handed to her, in order to lure her to avoid the table and make up.And it was not a coincidence that Gong'e, who was serving her to change her skirt, suddenly proposed to let her go to the hair dryer to sober up.

This is the case with her, and it is probably the same with Cui Shuo.They all fell into someone else's trap.

The New Year's Eve banquet was organized by Fan Su.So, did she do these things too?

She thought of the way she held her hand with tears in her eyes, and she really couldn't believe that such affection was all just acting.

"Miss, what exactly did you and Master Cui say?" Seeing her in pain, Ah Ci thought she was troubled by the emperor's attitude, so she couldn't help asking, "Your Majesty, he misunderstood, right?"

Gu Yunxian buried his head in his sleeves, and after a long time slowly said: "Misunderstanding?" Shaking his head, "I don't know."

The words she asked Cui Shuo rang in her ears again, and she said, "Why? Why are we a step late?"

At that time, her tone was so helpless and regretful, as if she had missed the most precious thing in this world.He must have heard it.He didn't think she had any personal affair with Cui Shuo, but that sentence hurt him.He may think that he also has feelings for Cui Shuo, and regrets not being able to be with him.But in fact, she really regretted missing Cui Shuo, not because of him, but because of that relationship, which was too precious.

It was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen in this world.She possesses it when she is ignorant, and loses it when she is ignorant. When the truth is finally revealed, she will inevitably feel the shock.

But even so, it doesn't mean that she is attracted to Cui Shuo.

"Where is Your Majesty now?" She asked suddenly.

Ah Ci looked at the sky, "At this time, it's time to go to Huisheng Hall to participate in the Yuanri Grand Court Meeting."

Yes, today is Yuan Day.The ministers and foreign envoys will meet the Emperor of Jin in Huisheng Hall and send their congratulatory messages and gifts.

He is still sensible, even if he encounters such a thing, he will not delay such a grand court meeting.But obviously, he was so sad.

She thought of his red eye sockets and that fragile expression in the vast night, and she felt a sharp pain in her heart.

Since he was a child, he has been a nobleman above ten thousand people, and I am afraid that he has never encountered such a thing.No one dared to covet his woman, and no woman made him feel such a setback.In particular, he had waited so carefully for himself for so many years, but when he turned around, he saw such a thing.

Under such circumstances, it was really difficult for him to keep calm thinking and analyze her thoughts carefully.

She took a deep breath and made up her mind that when he came to see her again, she would explain it clearly to him.He might have misunderstood her own intentions, but she couldn't let this misunderstanding continue to develop.

Whether it was for the relationship between the two of them or for Cui Shuo, she had to make it clear to him.

After the Great Court Meeting on Yuan Ri, Cui Shuo stayed in the square outside Huisheng Hall for a while, and it was no surprise that he saw a eunuch serving in front of the imperial court coming in front of him.

"Lord Cui, Your Majesty has something to tell you." The eunuch said respectfully.

He nodded, followed the eunuch down the steps of Huisheng Hall, and walked back.

As the familiar palace got closer, his mood became more and more peaceful.Thinking about this life, all ideals and ambitions have been realized, and the only regret is that I can't stay with the person in my heart.But just last night, he had spoken out the demons that had been entangled with him for many years.Although this matter was not what he wanted, but thinking about it now, he felt a strange sense of relief.

His mind, the person who should know the most, has already known, so he can leave without any worries.He understood that his actions had brought her great trouble, so he decided to take full responsibility at all costs.

He won't let anything happen to her.

The door of the Dazheng Palace's study room opened, and the emperor stood with his back to him, looking at the portrait hanging in front of him in silence.That is the portrait of Emperor Taizu, galloping on the battlefield when he was young, and calming down the world when he was young, he is a peerless man who is rarely seen in the ages.

He remembered that, long ago, they had stood and drank together in front of this portrait, wishing their plans success.

After Cui Shuo entered, the eunuch closed the door behind him, leaving only the two of them inside.

No one speaks.

It seemed like a long time, and it seemed that it was just a short moment, the emperor turned around and looked at Cui Shuo calmly.

"Seeing this portrait, do you think of something from the past?" the emperor said lightly.

Cui Shuo said, "Naturally."

The emperor sighed softly, "Yes, how can I forget." Hei Mou stared at him, "Do you know why I called you here?"

"I know."

"Tell me."

"Your Majesty summoned his ministers to come here because of what happened last night." Cui Shuo said calmly.

"Okay. It's good that you know." The emperor nodded, and suddenly reached out and took off the sword on the wall, "I remember, the last time I was in this study, when I saw this sword, I once said with a smile that if we were not monarchs and ministers , but you can make a blood alliance and become brothers—just use this Emperor Taizu's saber."

Draw the sword out of its sheath, the cold light is cold.He slowly put the blade on Cui Shuo's neck, his eyes were so cold that there was no emotion, "At that time, I never thought that one day I would point the same sword at you like this."

Cui Shuo remained motionless, letting the iron-sharpening sword touch his skin, his eyes were calm and calm as expected, "Your Majesty wants to take my life, I have nothing to say. This matter is my responsibility." I'm sorry Your Majesty, minister..."

"Of course you are sorry for me." The emperor suddenly became angry, with an uncontrollable ferocity in his tone, "For so many years, I have regarded you as a confidant and a brother, but you have been thinking about my wife all the time!"
