Chapter 24 The stingy emperor

Gu Shengge seemed to see Chu Ci's confusion, so he patiently explained: "You have lost your memory, this is a normal phenomenon. It doesn't matter if you can't remember it for a while, I will tell you slowly in the future."

"Oh." Chu Ci then agreed lightly, picking several questions she was more concerned about, "What a great disaster? Why do you say my mother instead of your mother? You said that it was your father who called you back, that is, you have been outside and not here? How did you heal me?"

She asked many questions. If she were asked this herself, she would be annoyed. But unexpectedly, Gu Shengge's smile remained unchanged and he slowly answered it one by one:

"You have to ask your father about the so-called great disaster, but I don't know very well. Your mother is the father's wife, and my mother is not. I live outside because I live with my mother. As for the reasons, you will know in the future. The last point cannot be said."

"..." It was almost the same as not saying it. Chu Ci complained in his heart, thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "How old are you?"

"I'm nine years older than you." Gu Shengge smiled slightly.

In other words, her brother is only sixteen now, and only sixteen has such a glorious temperament. Chu Ci was a little surprised.

However, when he was surprised that his anger had ended here, Chu Ci suddenly smiled sweetly and said softly: "That's it, brother."

Chu Ci was like this in his previous life. He always smiled gently and softly, and then instantly sent a sharp dagger into the enemy's chest. Under the other party's astonished and panicked gaze, he pulled out the knife in a neat manner, wiped the blood-stained knife clean on the other party, and said a soft farewell. From beginning to end, his smile would not tremble, but his eyes were indifferent and calm.

She was used to wearing a mask to be a human being, and she understood that a gentle and harmless face would always be the most resolute and cruel murderous attitude.

And Gu Shengge was also smiling, but his smile was light and soft, just like his piano sound.

He looked at Chu Ci, and after a long time, he suddenly called out: "Little sister."

Little sister, little sister.

Chu Ci was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that when Chu Yun was still alive, she called her like this. Even before she died, she said, "My little sister, please help me, please...

This title suddenly made her feel disgusted.

But Chu Ci still smiled and asked with a very good temper: "Hmm? What do you want to say?"

Gu Shengge looked at Chu Ci's indifferent eyes and said word by word: "Don't call me before you really recognize me as your brother."

"..." No one has ever exposed her disguise so directly. Chu Ci was stunned, and then she smiled, "Don't call me little sister so disgustingly before you really treat me as your sister."

This is a little angry.

But Gu Shengge was lukewarm and said softly: "I understand. Little sister."

With just a few short conversations, the gentle Gu Shengge finally made Chu Ci feel unprecedented uneasy because she couldn't tell whether this man was really gentle or was disguised like her.

Chu Ci decided not to think about it anymore, remained silent for a while, and stopped laughing, and said lightly: "I'm hungry."

But Gu Shengge smiled deeper, nodded slightly and said, "Wait a minute."

A quarter of an hour later, he came with a small plate of exquisite pastries.

Chu Ci looked at the plate of exquisite milky white pastries for a long time, and Gu Shengge calmly picked up a piece and finished it in front of Chu Ci.

Then she started eating.

It was delicious, the pastries were still hot, and I felt much more comfortable after eating them, as if the pain and fatigue in my heart were slowly disappearing since I was killed by my brother whom I raised to traveling through time to becoming a waste lady.

When she was eating pastries, he was playing the piano beside him, and the pear blossoms fell down one after another, mixed with the fragrance of pear blossoms that filled Chu Ci's mouth, which was so intoxicating.

For several days, Gu Shengge brought a small plate of pastries to play the piano for Chu Ci every afternoon. They rarely spoke again, only Gu Shengge would occasionally tell her a few words to take a rest.

He still called her little sister, but she always listened silently.

In just a few days, Chu Ci felt that this body was slowly recovering strangely, and saw Gu Shengge's face appearing haggard day by day. Although Gu Shengge refused to say why, she vaguely realized that it was related to his piano sound.

Chu Ci felt that she felt as if she owed him a favor, but if he didn't say anything, she wouldn't want to say it out loud.

Until a few days later, a middle-aged man suddenly walked into the yard where Chu Ci lived.

Although he has been in this world for several days, Chu Ci has been recuperating in this yard as Gu Shengge's instructions. Apart from him, the second person in this world he saw was this middle-aged man, her current father, Gu Liancheng.

When Gu Liancheng walked in, Chu Ci was eating pastries and listening to Gu Shengge playing the piano, but the sound of the piano stopped abruptly. She looked up in confusion and saw a man with a serious face.

Seeing that she looked very good, Gu Liancheng looked at her daughter with relief first, and then didn't even have time to say caring words. He said to Gu Shengge in a heavy tone: "Your mother is in a bad situation... I want me to pick you up."

"..." The smile on Gu Shengge's face faded for the first time. He didn't say anything, but picked up Qin and followed Gu Liancheng out. Before leaving, he looked at Chu Ci deeply and left a sentence, "Take care, little sister."

"..." Chu Ci didn't say anything, but she could guess at the faces of the two of them. Perhaps Gu Shengge's mother would not live long.

In the evening, Gu Liancheng came back. As soon as he returned home, he went to Chu Ci's yard and asked her about her physical condition with concern, but he didn't mention why she was sleeping because of that "great disaster".

Chu Ci didn't ask, and saw that there was no one following him, he was silent for a moment and asked, "Where is him?"

Gu Liancheng's expression also dimmed and said with a sigh: "She has passed away, Sheng'er is there to accompany her and refuses to come back."

After hearing this, Chu Ci only asked one question: "Where is it?"

Gu Liancheng was very thoughtful at the time and didn't even think about it carefully before he mentioned a position.

It started raining that night.

Chu Ci didn't sleep all night, and when he closed his eyes, he remembered the scene of Gu Shengge playing the piano for her.

The next day, the rain was still falling, and Chu Ci left the mansion and asked the servants in the mansion to send him to the address Gu Liancheng mentioned.

It was a thatched house outside the suburbs of Dijing. From a distance, I saw a large pear tree planted next to the small thatched house.

The snow-white pear blossoms are flying all over the sky, and the beautiful scene is inexplicably beautiful.

Chu Ci walked in the rain with an umbrella and walked to the front of the small thatched house.

A new monument was erected there, and a young man in white clothes was kneeling in front of the small mound.

She stood behind Gu Shengge with an umbrella. After a moment, he turned around and looked at her.

Chu Ci held an umbrella for him, and saw a look similar to confusion and sorrow on his elegant face. His heart suddenly moved and said in a strange way: "Can you go back with me?"

As soon as she finished saying this, Gu Shengge suddenly rushed forward and hugged her.

At that time, Chu Ci's body was only seven years old and petite and thin. He knelt down and just hugged her.

Chu Ci asked him to hold him stiffly, feeling that his body was soaked by him who was already wet. However, she did not struggle because his white cheeks were rubbed against her neck, and she felt a warm liquid slipping off her neck.

He cried.

At that moment, Chu Ci was really worried, worried that Gu Shengge, who was hit hard at that time, would disappear.

Suddenly, a sigh inexplicably in my heart.

Then Chu Ci said in a low voice: "Go home with me... A Sheng."

=I am Mengmeng’s dividing line=

"Chu Ci... are you dead?"

Cang Ling suppressed his angry voice and pulled Chu Ci's thoughts back from his memories.

Almost instantly, Chu Ci immediately changed into a signboard and smiled and said, "Ah, Your Majesty, I was seriously considering Your Majesty's issue!"

"Well, are you thinking about it now?" Cang Lingyue looked obviously disbelieving.

Chu Ci hurriedly made a serious statement and answered: "I have finished thinking seriously."

"Hmm." Cang Ling snorted coldly, signaling her not to talk nonsense.

"I was originally from Jiangnan. Two years ago, I met Gu Xiang when he first visited Jiangnan. At that time, the bandits were in chaos. I was lucky enough to have Gu Xiang save him before I escaped." Chu Ci said while expressing his infinite gratitude.

Cang Lingyue scoffed at Chu Ci's appearance, with a little disdainful meaning, "That's it?"

Chu Ci thought for a while and added: "In the next few days, I met Gu Xiang again, and because of luck, I saved Gu Xiang's life, so I became a confidant with Gu Xiang."

Chu Ci's original idea did not include being involved with Gu Liancheng and Gu Shengge, but since Cang Ling had noticed the clue more, it would be better for her to generously admit that she had a good relationship with Gu Shengge, which could be regarded as expressing her position. This may prevent her from standing opposite to Gu Shengge in the future.

Fortunately, although Gu Shengge is the left prime minister and Ning Shikong, Gu Shengge is more reliable in Cang Lingyue's eyes than Ning Shikong, who is very ambitious and feared by the emperor.

This is not only because Gu Shengge is honest and well-received, but also because his father Gu Liancheng is a royalist party, which has a certain relationship.

Chu Ci once thought that a few years ago, Cang Lingyue was willing to resist the pressure of outsiders saying that the power of the Duke was too strong, and that Gu Shengge would be the left prime minister. In addition to checking and balancing the right prime minister, it also has something to do with trusting the old minister Gu Liancheng.

After all, there are rumors that Cang Lingyue once thought about marrying the youngest daughter of the Duke, but he never mentioned this after seeing Gu Luange's portrait.

And Chu Ci secretly glanced at Cang Lingyue, looking at him with an unpredictable look, and was glad again, fortunately he thought she was "ugly"...

Cang Lingyue was silent for a while after listening to Chu Ci's answer. As soon as he opened his mouth, he actually said, "I didn't expect that the chaos in the Jiangnan area was so serious."
