An Ning smiled and said:

"Mr. Gu, do you know who spread the rumors outside? Don't worry, Mr. Gu, I have solved this matter. The person behind it spreads the rumors."

Gu Qingzhao only replied with a faint "Yes."

An Ning looked at his expression. Maybe he didn't sleep last night, and his eyes were a little blood red, but there was no sign of fatigue on his face.

It's just that the "hmm" he just replied seemed a little dissatisfying.

"I hope it didn't cause any trouble to Mr. Gu."

Gu Qingzhao said another faint "Yeah."

An Ning felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere at the moment.

Why did he only reply one word?

She didn't seem to do anything this time.

···

"I've finished speaking, what do you want to say, Mr. Gu?"

Gu Qingzhao's eyes became colder than before, "The prince came to see you yesterday?"

An Ning nodded, "What's wrong?"

A rhetorical question made the air seem to get colder.

An Ning frowned, the air conditioning... seemed to be coming from Mr. Gu...

Why...

She asked directly:

"Is it...the prince has tricked you again?"

Gu lowered his eyes to cover up the dark light flashing in his eyes, and then he looked into An Ning's eyes.

"The prince is still evil towards you."

Thieving?

An Ning was a little doubtful at this moment.

Master Gu said that the prince is evil-minded?

She burst out laughing.

Gu Qingzhao frowned and said, "Why are you laughing?"

"Master Gu? Are you saying that the prince is evil-minded?"

It's not funny when someone else says this, but when it comes from Gu Qingzhao, there's a contrasting sense of joy.

Gu Qingzhao is a gentleman and a pure scholar.

Only rebellious ministers and traitors can be described as traitors.

Gu Qingzhao looked at An Ning smiling in front of him and sighed helplessly.

"In the future, don't go see him alone."

An Ning was stunned for a moment, and then thought about why Gu Qingzhao said this.

It must be because of the Sun Palace Banquet that he was afraid that she would be tricked again.

An Ning nodded.

"Okay, there is no need in the future, I won't see him alone."

Gu Qingzhao used the word "um" again, but this "um" has a little more warmth than the previous "um".

An Ning thought of tomorrow's Spring Festival and , so she said:

"Tomorrow is , Mr. Gu, it would be too lonely for you to be alone. Why don't you come to the mansion to celebrate the festival."

Gu Qingzhao looked at the girl in front of him. She was obviously young, but she was always so mature.

It wasn't until she laughed at him that she showed the coquettishness she should have at this age.

The words he wanted to refuse came to his lips but he couldn't.

"good."

It has been many years since he celebrated the Spring Festival.

Every winter is a cold winter. The Spring Festival has nothing to do with him, the excitement has nothing to do with him, and everything has nothing to do with him.

Only loneliness, heartache, and Lingchi were related to him.

It's not that God treats him well, it's that the people in front of him treat him well.

···

Gu Qingzhao didn't sleep all night after returning. He was so sleepy that he squinted briefly for a while.

He was a little afraid, afraid that everything would be like a dream and everything would be empty when he first woke up.

Until he stood outside the general's mansion again, looking at the girl dressed in red who came to greet him.

Only then did he feel the reality.

An Ning looked at him strangely, why did Master Gu's eyes become redder after a night passed, as if he didn't sleep well last night.

"Master Gu, give me your hand."

Gu Qingzhao slowly raised his hand.

An Ning's fingertips touched his pulse.

Boiling Qi and blood, stagnation, insomnia, tachycardia...

An Ning raised his eyes and saw that his heartbeat was getting faster and faster.

An Ning said nervously: "Mr. Gu, are you okay? Is your heartbeat always the same as usual or..."

It's not right for her to ask this. If the heartbeat keeps beating so fast, it means there is something wrong with the heart.

But if you can dance fast alone...

That's even more wrong.

Gu Qingzhao took out his hand and said, "I'm fine. I didn't get a good rest last night. I wouldn't be like this on weekdays."

An Ning breathed a sigh of relief, that was enough.

If you don't get enough rest, you will also have tachycardia.

"Mr. Gu, I will prescribe you two pills later. After drinking it, you can sleep well. You should relax and don't be too depressed."

An Ning lowered her eyes, and the shadows on her eyelashes fell on her lower eyelids.

Why would a person like Mr. Gu be depressed? It could be because of the person he loves.

An Ning thought for a while and then persuaded: "Although you shouldn't ask about adults' personal affairs, if you keep it in your heart for a long time, it will be very bad for your health and you will often suffer from insomnia. In life, you must...always be open-minded."

That was all she could say.

"When did Miss An learn medicine?"

An Ning stopped just about to leave.

When did you study medicine?

Normal people would usually say, why didn't they know she had studied medicine? She actually studied medicine.

Only when he was sure that she had never studied medicine would she ask when she would learn medicine.

Something is wrong.

This is so wrong, but what is wrong with this?

She never knew Gu Qingzhao before.

An Ning turned around, looked at his eyes that were redder than before, frowned and said, "Mr. Gu, have we known each other before?"

In case she forgot.

Gu Qingzhao did not answer.

He continued to ask: "What if I can't see it?"

This is a continuation of the previous topic.

"If you can't look away, then you will do your best to obey fate."

"Is Miss An a person who obeys fate?"

For some reason, Gu Qingzhao's tone was a little aggressive at the moment.

"no."

"Gu, neither."
