The gentle words reached his ears, and Chaoli shrank slightly, as if he was struck by Gu Hanzhang's tone of voice.
I have to say that Gu Hanzhang is really good at seducing people, and he can do it anytime and anywhere, making people almost unable to control their heartbeats.
Chaoli suppressed his excitement and looked calm.
"It doesn't make sense if I know. After all, I will leave in a few months. The prince should not have told me."
Every time when he felt a little relaxed, Chaoli's heart would cool down just by thinking of the one-year appointment.
Gu Hanzhang could not hide his disappointment, and his face seemed even paler.
"Even if you don't want to know, I still want to tell you, that's all."
The room fell into an eerie silence, and neither of them spoke anymore. They stood up and said goodbye after a long time, and returned to the main room.
Gu Hanzhang did not fall asleep so early. He was a little confused and took advantage of the night to slowly walk to the albizia tree.
After Zhaocai found out, he carefully brought him a chair to sit on.
Gu Hanzhang sat under the albizia tree for a full hour, until his body was already a little cold, and then he returned to the study to rest.
After falling asleep, Gu Hanzhang finally dreamed of some of the scenes he had been thinking about.
"I'm sorry, brother, I was not good to my sister-in-law. I made a lot of petty tempers and hurt her." Gu Xiyue knelt in the study with tears on her face. "If I had been more sensible and hadn't listened to Hong Yu and hurt my sister-in-law,
If I hadn't brought Shen Lianyi and Chaozhen, my sister-in-law wouldn't have been so ill. I'm sorry, brother, it's all my fault, I was too confused."
Gu Hanzhang wiped the spiritual tablet in his hand numbly. He used teak, the national wood of the Buddhist country, to carve it.
For Gu Hanzhang, it was still difficult to carve such a spiritual tablet. He knew nothing about carving, so his hands were covered with bloodstains. He didn't know how many pieces of teak wood he had damaged during carving.
In the eyes of Daqi people, the national wood of the Buddhist kingdom was only used as a material for the Li Ling tablet in Gu Hanzhang's hands.
Even if every piece of discarded teak wood was stained with a lot of his blood, he never thought about discarding it.
Only now did Gu Xiyue realize how important Chaoli was to her eldest brother. Unfortunately, it was too late, Chaoli was already dead.
It was because she was too arrogant and unreasonable, and because of Hongyu's instigation to bully Chaoli, she ended up in the current situation.
Gu Hanzhang fell into silence, focusing only on the carving movements in his hands.
Seeing that she couldn't get an answer from Gu Hanzhang, Gu Xiyue spoke again.
"Brother, I'm sorry. I already know very well in my heart that my sister-in-law loves you very much, and she has put herself at the lowest level for you. It is only now that I understand why my sister-in-law tolerates my unruly willfulness so much, and the second aunt's
The bullying is actually all because of you. Our Gu family is sorry for her and owes our sister-in-law, she has paid a lot for you." Gu Xiyue choked with sobs.
"It's meaningless to say this now, get out." Gu Hanzhang said coldly.
It is undeniable that he now also has some resentment towards Gu Xiyue.
Of course, the biggest reason obviously lies with him, and he is the culprit that caused Chao Li's death.
Gu Xiyue almost couldn't stand still, "Brother, I'm sorry, I don't know what to do. I feel very uncomfortable now, and my mother is also in pain. The death of your sister-in-law has hit you hard. You look so decadent, which makes your mother and father
It’s hard to accept that my grandfather is also ill, do you really want to be unfilial to your sister-in-law?"
"I've gone to see my grandfather. It doesn't matter. It's the same if you take care of your father and mother." Gu Hanzhang said calmly.
It was clear that Gu Hanzhang was right in front of her, but Gu Xiyue felt as if she couldn't touch him. Knowing that he couldn't listen to anything now, she had no choice but to leave.
Gu Hanzhang didn't care about Gu Xiyue's departure. After a long time, he carved the spiritual tablet and then silently held it in his arms.
"You haven't had a dream with me in the past few days. I know that you were very disappointed with me before you died, so I asked Qing Yi to return the silk handkerchief to me. You blame me for not having a good talk with you and not telling you anything. I just thought about women.
You shouldn't get too involved in matters in the court, otherwise it will cause more trouble. I didn't expect that what I thought was good for you turned out to be a reminder for you."
"Don't worry, I won't let you face hell alone. It's almost time. Everything is almost done. The matter is about to be solved. But how can you be so cruel? I thought you wanted to go to Leng Yuan to have some peace and quiet. It just so happened that I also had something in my hand.
Many things happened, some princes finally counterattacked, I...
