Gu Tingyu frowned, "You don't need to know about this. In short, you can't leave the house. Even if you want to go out, you can only accompany me."
"Why?" Leng Shuang was a little annoyed, "I am a free man."
Gu Tingyu looked at Leng Shuang, with a sarcastic smile on his lips, and then said lightly: "I don't like you getting close to other men."
"You!" Leng Shuang gritted his teeth, "Gu Tingyu, don't forget, you actually did this to me?"
Leng Shuang's tears fell down. At this moment, she suddenly realized that she seemed to have lost something.
"I said, you have to stay by my side, even if you are a concubine." Gu Tingyu looked at Leng Shuang and said.
Gu Tingyu sneered, and then said: "Being a concubine? I would rather die than wrong myself."
After saying this, Leng Shuang wiped away her tears, then turned and walked outside the house.
Leng Shuang walked out of the house and saw the maid beside her.
When the maid saw Leng Shuang coming out, she immediately came up to her and asked with concern: "Girl, are you okay?"
Leng Shuang looked at her, then shook her head and said, "It's okay. You can go out first. I want to stay alone for a while."
The maid hesitated for a moment, then lowered her head and said, "Girl, I don't trust you."
Leng Shuang looked at the maid, and a warm current surged in her heart. She reached out and patted the maid's shoulder, then smiled softly and said: "It's okay, I'm really okay. You can go out first."
When the maid saw Leng Shuang's resolute look, she sighed, then walked out and closed the door.
After the maid left, Leng Shuang sorted out her mood before walking out.
Leng Shuang walked out of the room and then found out that Gu Tingyu was in the study at this time.
Leng Shuang walked into the study and looked at Gu Tingyu sitting on the chair.
"Your Majesty, I want to see the Emperor."
Gu Tingyu glanced at Leng Shuang, and then said: "The emperor's condition is not stable now and it is not suitable to see guests."
"How is the emperor's health?" Leng Shuang asked.
"The Emperor is still bedridden, but the Emperor has told us not to disturb him, so you just stay here quietly." Gu Tingyu said.
"I must see the emperor." Leng Shuang said stubbornly, "I have something to tell the emperor. If you don't let me see him, the emperor will definitely be in danger."
Gu Tingyu's expression changed slightly, and then he said: "I have to deal with government affairs now. If you have something to do, please talk about it later."
Leng Shuang frowned and said: "My lord, do you really want to do this? You have caused trouble this time. Aren't you afraid of being punished by the emperor? Do you know why your father was imprisoned? It was because he disobeyed.
You have violated the imperial edict and now you have injured the emperor like this. Even if you can escape, your father will inevitably die!"
"Leng Shuang!" Gu Tingyu gritted his teeth and said, "Don't forget what I did to you back then! Don't be ungrateful!"
"I have never forgotten it." Leng Shuang said, "You saved my life, so I naturally want to repay you, but how do you want me to repay you? What do you want me to do for you?"
"It's very simple, I want you to be my wife." Gu Tingyu looked at Leng Shuang and said, "The engagement between us is cancelled."
When Leng Shuang heard what Gu Tingyu said, she frowned and said, "My lord, what you do is not good for any of us."
Gu Tingyu stood up and walked slowly to Leng Shuang. His eyes flickered, "So, you are unwilling to marry me?"
"I..." Leng Shuang opened her mouth and finally said: "You know, I don't love you."
Gu Tingyu sneered and said, "That's your business. Since our marriage has been decided, you can't change your mind unless you don't want your sister."
Leng Shuang was silent. After a while, Leng Shuang looked up at Gu Tingyu and said, "Okay, I promise you, but you must ensure that the emperor's life is safe."
"Don't worry, I will do my best to treat the emperor."
Leng Shuang nodded, then turned and left.
After Leng Shuang left, Gu Tingyu immediately called his men, and then said: "I want you to send someone to keep an eye on Leng Shuang. I want to know what she did."
The adjutant nodded and said, "I understand."
After saying that, he turned and left.
After Leng Shuang returned to her room, she lay on the bed, feeling confused for a while.
She knew very well what kind of person Gu Tingyu was. Although this person was gentle and gentle on the surface, in fact, he was a cold-blooded and ruthless person.
He used to do whatever it took to achieve his goals.
Moreover, Leng Shuang thought of what he had just said, that he wanted to make her his woman, and also asked her not to regret it. How could Leng Shuang agree to such a thing!
In this life, her heart has already been given to another man, and it is impossible for her to accept anyone else.
Gu Tingyu, she didn't hate him. After all, if it hadn't been for him, she would have died long ago.
But, she doesn't want to be his woman.
Leng Shuang closed her eyes and let out a long breath.
Leng Shuang didn't sleep long when she heard the noise coming from outside. Then, the maid ran in and said to Leng Shuang: "Girl, it's not good. The old lady came with a group of people and said she wanted to see you."
.”
Leng Shuang frowned, and then said slowly: "I understand, let her wait a moment."
After Leng Shuang finished washing herself and getting dressed, she walked towards the old lady's yard.
When Leng Shuang walked to the door, she heard crying inside and the old lady's scolding.
"You beasts, what on earth have I used to raise you for so many years? How dare you murder my grandson!" The old lady's voice was mixed with anger.
Leng Shuang pushed the door open and saw that the old lady was holding a whip in her hand and waving it towards the women kneeling on the ground.
"Grandma," Leng Shuang shouted and quickly stopped her, "Don't be like this anymore. Your body and bones are not good to begin with. What if you tire yourself out again?"
"You bastard," the old lady glared at Leng Shuang, "my grandson is already dying, how can you still be so indifferent!"
"Grandma, Brother Huang is just in a coma, not dead." Leng Shuang said, "I believe Brother Huang will wake up."
The old lady didn't care, and dragged Leng Shuang outside: "You unfilial thing! Your brother is already like this, and you are still making sarcastic remarks to me!"
"Grandma, stop making trouble," Leng Shuang shook off the old lady's arm, "I don't blame you for this matter."
After hearing Leng Shuang's words, the old lady immediately cursed: "You bitch, how could you say such a thing!"
"Grandma, calm down first," Leng Shuang said, "I have already promised the prince."
The old lady was stunned. She opened her eyes wide, looked at Leng Shuang, and then said: "Leng Shuang, what did you mean just now?"
Leng Shuang sighed and said: "Don't ask me why. In short, I agreed to marry the prince, but he must help the imperial doctor to save the emperor, and he will also protect the emperor's safety."
"Then if you marry the prince, won't you become a widow?" The old lady looked a little flustered.
"Grandma, no," Leng Shuang shook her head and said, "I just hope you won't interfere. I will handle my own affairs."
The old lady sighed, then sat down. She patted Leng Shuang on the shoulder and said, "Good boy, grandma won't force you. If you need grandma's help, just ask grandma."
Leng Shuang nodded.
"Also, don't hold your wedding to the prince hastily. At least wait until your parents come over to discuss the date, and then you two go to complete the wedding. This is more in line with the rules. Otherwise, the emperor will find out when he wakes up and will blame us.
From the Gu family." The old lady advised Leng Shuang.
Leng Shuang nodded: "I know, grandma, I understand."
The old lady breathed a sigh of relief, then patted the back of Leng Shuang's hand and said, "Good boy, I have wronged you all these years."
Leng Shuang smiled bitterly, then turned and left the room.
After Leng Shuang left, the old lady suddenly sighed and murmured to herself: "My son, you must not let anything happen to you. If something happens to you, what should I do?"
Leng Shuang left the old lady's yard and went to find Gu Tingyu.
"How is it?" Gu Tingyu was sitting at the desk reviewing the memorial. He raised his head and looked at Leng Shuang and said, "Do you agree?"
Leng Shuang nodded: "Yes, I agree."
"Very good." Gu Tingyu laughed, "You should tidy up now and we will leave the palace tonight."
Leng Shuang nodded. She knew that Gu Tingyu was going out to do something, so she wouldn't stop him.
However, there was a trace of sadness on Leng Shuang's face. She looked at Gu Tingyu and asked: "What will the emperor do? Are you really ready to give up your position as emperor?"
"Don't worry, I have my own plan," Gu Tingyu said.
Leng Shuang nodded.
She also believed that once Gu Tingyu made a decision, he would not change it easily.
Gu Tingyu took all his pen, ink, paper and inkstones to the table, then spread out the rice paper and began to practice calligraphy.
Leng Shuang stood beside Gu Tingyu, accompanying him quietly.
In fact, Leng Shuang felt sad. She really liked Gu Tingyu, but unfortunately, her identity meant that they could not be together.
It was late at night, and the entire Gu Mansion was shrouded in darkness.
Leng Shuang lay on the bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
She kept thinking in her heart, how beautiful this world is, but how sad she is.
"Alas," Leng Shuang couldn't help but sigh, "Why is it me? Why..."
A flash of light suddenly flashed in Leng Shuang's mind.
Yes, this time she went to Northern Xinjiang to provide disaster relief, which was a good opportunity. It not only kept her away from the capital, but also allowed her to avoid the princess.
However, what she is most worried about now is her parents.
Her father has been bedridden since he came back from the battlefield. Although her mother has been taking care of her, after all, she is a woman and cannot do many things, and Leng's father rarely mentions his previous occupation.
, there are even some taboos to mention it.
So Leng Shuang didn't ask further questions, perhaps because she was afraid of hurting her father's scars.
Leng Shuang closed her eyes and slowly fell into sleep.
When she woke up the next morning, Leng Shuang found that her room had been cleaned spotlessly.
Leng Shuang was a little surprised. This kind of thing must have been done by the maid.
However, since Gu Tingyu doesn't like her, she won't take the initiative to please him.
In the past two days, she had carefully observed that the maid did not look like an ordinary maid.
Leng Shuang guessed that this maid was probably the one serving Gu Tingyu.
She couldn't help but think of the days she spent with Gu Tingyu.
He was very kind to her, not only gave her many precious medicinal materials, but also taught her many methods to treat bruises.
These are the secret books he brought back from the military camp.
At that time, he was very gentle to himself, and he did not reject him.
However, who would have thought that in such a short period of time, it would become what it is now!
Leng Shuang sighed, then continued to sit in front of the bronze mirror and put on her makeup.
She looked at herself in the mirror, and then murmured in a low voice: "I will never marry any man in my life. I want revenge. I want to avenge my parents and younger siblings!"
When Leng Shuang said this, her eyes were moist. This chapter has been completed!
