in the sound of swallows

Chapter 63

Gu Chengxiang closed his eyes and said, "I always thought you were a sensible person, and you should be able to understand these things."

I can't figure it out!It is a matter of human life, and they are both sons, why is Prime Minister Gu so partial?Shen Guiyan wanted to say more, but Gu Chaobei had already held her hand.

"Yan'er will figure it out." Gu Chaobei abruptly pulled her back: "Father, don't worry too much."

Prime Minister Gu's expression softened a bit, he looked at Gu Chaobei and said, "It's a good thing you can figure it out."

Gu Chaobei smiled lightly, seeing Shen Guiyan still wanting to say more, he pulled her behind him.

"It's a good thing that you can secure the position of Minister of Criminal Affairs." Prime Minister Gu said, "But that position naturally requires a lot of you. Have you ever thought about changing it?"

Gu Chaobei raised his eyebrows: "What does father think?"

"You are not suitable to be a civil servant." Prime Minister Gu turned his face away and said, "General Yuwen has an idle job under his command. Thinking about your father is more in line with your unrestrained temperament. If you want, you can go to the emperor for your father , replace you."

Shen Guiyan opened her eyes wide and took a light breath.

Gu Chaobei was frightened and tried his best to take down the position of Minister of Punishment, but now the prime minister asked him to change it with a single word?

In exchange for what?Give up the seat to Gu Chaodong?

Tightening her hands suddenly, Shen Guiyan frowned and looked at Gu Chaobei.The latter was hurt by her pinching, so he looked at her amusedly, and then said to Prime Minister Gu: "Since father thinks it's appropriate, it must be appropriate. My son doesn't like official flattery, so it's good if he can go to General Yuwen's command."

Did you just agree? !
Prime Minister Gu smiled: "Good boy, after marrying a daughter-in-law, he has grown up a lot."

Gu Chaobei smiled but said nothing.

Shen Guiyan was half-dragged and half-carried all the way back to the North Courtyard. It was the first time in her life that she was so restless. She wanted to seek justice for Gu Chaobei with thousands of words, but Gu Chaobei had to cover her mouth. Don't let her say anything.

After the door closed, Shen Guiyan shook off his hand, but pulled her back too hard, grinning in pain.

"I told you not to contradict me. Why can't you hold back today?" Gu Chaobei sighed, came up to hold her shoulders, and helped her lie on the bed: "You are so smart, can't you see Come out and father wants to cover up?"

"I can see it." Shen Guiyan stiffened her neck and said, "But why cover it up?"

Even if Gu Chaodong is more outstanding, but the tiger poison does not eat its children, does he not care about Gu Chaobei's life or death?
"If there is a big trouble, wouldn't it be a troublesome thing to let people know that Young Master Gu is going to kill me?" Gu Chaobei took out the ointment and pointed to her clothes: "Take it off."

These days, Gu Chaobei has been personally administering the medicine to her. Shen Guiyan was angry, and she didn't feel awkward. She just tore off her robe and skirt, and lay down again in a bellyband in a cool and cool manner.

Gu Chaobei smeared the ointment on his hands, and gently massaged Shen Guiyan's back, like smoothing a cat's fur, repeatedly.

Shen Guiyan became less angry, and said sullenly, "Unhappy."

"I know you're unhappy, and I'm not happy either." Gu Chaobei chuckled and said, "But what can I do? People are under the roof."

Slightly taken aback, Shen Guiyan looked back at him: "People are under the eaves?"

This is his own home, why do you say such words of living under the fence?
"It's nothing." Gu Chaobei looked at the redness and swelling on her back, and it has healed a lot, but some bruises are still there, which looks a little shocking.

"I plan to give up the position of Minister of the Ministry of Punishment according to my father's words, and then go to work under the command of General Yuwen."

Shen Guiyan slapped the pillow: "Why should you give it up? You didn't steal it, and no one fought for you. It's your own ability."

It's rare to see her so angry, Gu Chaobei felt very strange, couldn't help but stop and look for a while: "Don't you think that elder brother is more suitable for officialdom than me?"

"...suitable is suitable..." Shen Guiyan was a little discouraged: "But it can't be like this, it seems that in the eyes of the prime minister, Gu Chaodong is a treasure, and you are grass. You are obviously more capable than him."

Gu Chaobei was taken aback, put down the ointment in his hand, his eyes lit up a little: "Do you think I'm better than elder brother?"

"Naturally." Shen Guiyan nodded.

Gu Chaodong is talented, but not to mention too pedantic, he is also very selfish and arrogant.In her eyes, the ruffian looked much better.

Couldn't help but smile, Gu Chaobei moved closer to her, his eyes were like the vast sea: "Then you are so angry now, is it because I am about to lose the position of servant, or is it because of something?"

Shen Guiyan didn't see what was in his eyes, she frowned and thought about it for a while, and said: "Today I lost my composure, probably because they used arsenic to harm people again. I was angry because the prime minister's attitude towards you made my concubine It's as if I saw myself in Shen's residence."

Just like she used evidence to sue Shen Guiya countless times back then, but her mother turned out to be partial, every time Shen Guiya was fine, and would come back to take revenge on her.

The master said that there is a righteous way in the world, which is axiom and lies in the hearts of the people.But for so many years, she has never seen where the justice lies.

Others can't give her justice, she can only find it herself.

Gu Chaobei paused for breath, let out a low laugh, and slowly leaned over to kiss Shen Guiyan's lips.

"They don't value me, so what?" He said softly, "Don't you have a wife as your husband now?"

Shen Guiyan opened her eyes slightly, her body was hugged into her arms, her heart skipped a beat suddenly.

She was only wearing a bellyband, and when he hugged her, the warmth of her skin seemed to be transmitted to him through the clothes.

Only then did Shen Guiyan recall that the two had been married for such a long time, and they hadn't had time for the bridal chamber yet.

The first time it was because some people in the house listened to the corner, and he didn't like it.Later, he was interrupted by one thing after another, even if he slept with her, Gu Chaobei hadn't had time to perform the ceremony of husband and wife with her.

If the injury on the back is more careful, it shouldn't hurt, right?Shen Guiyan forgot to be angry for a while, and her cheeks were slightly flushed.

Gu Chaobei's Adam's apple moved up and down, and he reached out to hug her in the soft brocade quilt, and then put down the curtain.The warm breath filled her neck, and Shen Guiyan couldn't help shivering slightly.

"I was a little hesitant about being a husband." Gu Chaobei said softly, "Fortunately, I still look more attractive than my elder brother."

"Huh?" Shen Guiyan grabbed the quilt nervously, still unable to stop her curiosity: "What do you mean?"

"It's nothing, my lady just pretend she didn't hear." Gu Chaobei smiled like a ruffian, raised her chin and said, "Little lady looks very delicious."

It's not serious!Shen Guiyan was shy at first, but was amused by his words like a hooligan in the market, and stretched out her hand to pinch his waist.

"Hey." Gu Chaobei smiled and begged for mercy, then lowered his head and kissed her lips again.

Shen Guiyan couldn't help swallowing her saliva.She was a little shy, thinking that Gu Chaobei had seen countless girls, so this night shouldn't hurt her too much, right?

So she relaxed, and hugged Gu Chaobei's neck very affectionately.

It is a rare person in the world who takes you seriously and cares more about whether you have been wronged than anyone else.

When Gu Chaobei married Shen Guiyan, he was always hesitant, and he didn't like a woman who always had someone else in his heart, so instead of consummating the house reluctantly, he might as well get rid of it.

But today it was serious... I didn't hold back.

Does she have him in her heart?So treat him so well, protect him like this, and make him feel warm like this.

No one has ever stood by his side unconditionally, and no one has made him feel as trustworthy as she is.Even if it was Zhuiyun, he didn't confess his heart.

But today, he actually had the urge to tell her everything, why the prime minister was like this, why he had to abdicate, so that she would worry less and the wrinkles between her brows less.

No wonder Ye Wenwen said that people who fall in love are fools.

Shen Guiyan closed her eyes and thought, when she is free tomorrow, she must go to Zuihuayin to ask, a group of girls have been with Gu Chaobei for so long, why is he still so ignorant of compassion?

The candle was about to go out, and the hibiscus was fragrant in the bed tent, Shen Guiyan gritted her teeth and did not cry out.Gu Chaobei lowered his head and was about to laugh at her, but suddenly there was a commotion outside.

"It's flooded—the North Courtyard is flooded—" a house slave yelled so loudly that the entire North Courtyard could hear it clearly.

Then Gu Chaodong came here for some reason, and walked in while calling for his fourth brother.

Bao Shan was guarding the gate, and when he heard this movement, he frowned tightly, went forward and stopped in front of Gu Chaodong: "What is Eldest Young Master doing?"

"There's water at the gate of the north courtyard! Quickly let the fourth brother come out and follow me!" Gu Chaodong said.

Baoshan looked at the gate of the yard, there were many people, but there was not a wisp of smoke.

"Did you run away? Seeing the momentum, it shouldn't be serious. You don't need to let Fourth Young Master go out, right?" Bao Shan stood in front of him and refused to budge. He raised his face and said, "Fourth Young Master and Young Madam have serious business to do."

"What business is more important than life?" Gu Chaodong looked anxiously at the closed door, clearly thinking of something, his face turned pale.
