"You know? For so many years, you have been my only support. I don't know how to express my feelings for you, but I really love you. Whether you believe it or not, I will never marry you unless you are in this life."
!" Gu Tingyu said.
He didn't want to deceive Leng Shuang, and he didn't bother to deceive Leng Shuang. Since he decided to be with Leng Shuang, he shouldn't hide it.
Hearing Gu Tingyu's words, Leng Shuang's heart sank suddenly. She had been looking forward to such a scene for so many years, but when this moment really came, she felt fear and sadness.
"Gu Tingyu, I..." Leng Shuang said hard, but her throat seemed to be tighter and she couldn't say anything.
"Shuangshuang, don't reject me. No matter what choice you make, I respect your decision." Gu Tingyu said softly.
"I..." Leng Shuang stopped talking.
When Gu Tingyu saw Leng Shuang's appearance, his heart ached, but he still waited patiently.
Leng Shuang closed her eyes and said after a long time: "I'm in a mess right now. I want to go back to my house and think about it. If we really want to be together, you must promise me two things, otherwise we won't be together."
Together, they will also torture each other."
When Gu Tingyu heard Leng Shuang say this, he felt a surge of joy in his heart. He held Leng Shuang's cold hand and said, "I will definitely promise you. Don't worry, I won't force you."
"Yes." Leng Shuang responded softly.
When Gu Tingyu saw Leng Shuang's appearance, he sighed and took Leng Shuang into his arms.
Leng Shuang leaned in Gu Tingyu's arms and slowly fell asleep. She was really exhausted this time. Although her body was fine, the poison still made her exhausted.
When Leng Shuang woke up, it was already the second night. She opened her eyes and looked at the unfamiliar houses. She knew that she was getting farther and farther away from the capital.
"Miss, you're awake." When the little maid saw Leng Shuang woke up, she walked in and helped Leng Shuang wash up.
Leng Shuang drank the hot porridge handed over by the little maid and felt much better, but she was still unbearably hungry.
"Miss, please go to the kitchen to get some food. Please wait a moment." The little maid said with a smile, and then withdrew.
After a while, the little maid came in with food.
Leng Shuang asked while eating, "How long have I been unconscious?"
"It's been six hours." The little maid replied.
"It's been so long, where are we?" Leng Shuang asked while eating the food.
"I don't know what I'm doing. When I went to the bathroom last night, I saw that Miss you had been kidnapped. I immediately ran to report it to the officials. Unexpectedly, the government servants came and it didn't help. Later, they tied the Miss to a tree, and then
He took the lady to fly over the wall, but in the end the robbers seemed to be injured, and then the lady fainted. Where are we now?" Leng Shuang continued to ask.
The little maid replied: "I don't know. Anyway, this inn is very remote and there are not many people on weekdays. Miss, why don't we find an inn to stay in first and wait for the old lady's people to come and save us."
"Okay." Leng Shuang nodded. She also felt that in this situation, they could only stay here temporarily.
Gu Tingyu and Leng Shuang rested for half a month and finally recovered their strength. At this time, the old lady also arrived.
"Old lady, you are here." Leng Shuang saw the old lady coming and quickly knelt on the ground to salute.
"Get up quickly, don't be too polite. How is your child?" The old lady took Leng Shuang's hand and asked with concern.
"I'm fine. I made you worry. I don't know who sent those gangsters. They dare to disturb Tai Sui. It's so disgusting!" the old lady cursed angrily.
Leng Shuang lowered her eyes and said, "Old madam, I..."
"Don't worry, leave this matter to me. I have wronged you during this period. You can recuperate here first.
Leng Shuang, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhen, was framed in her previous life. In this life, she came to the Duke of Zhen to use her identity as the eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhen to find her enemies and avenge her dead relatives.
"I will not let you down, I will definitely find those gangsters." Gu Tingyu said.
Leng Shuang nodded. After spending the past few days together, Leng Shuang discovered that Gu Tingyu was indeed a man worth trusting.
"Tingyu, I want to go to a banquet." Leng Shuang suddenly raised her head and looked at Gu Tingyu and said.
Gu Tingyu raised his eyebrows and asked, "What? You changed your mind so quickly?"
Leng Shuang shook his head and said, "Not really."
The reason why Leng Shuang wanted to attend this banquet was actually because she wanted to take this opportunity to meet the emperor and expose Lin Wanrou's mask.
"I want to see the emperor." Leng Shuang looked at Gu Tingyu and said.
Gu Tingyu was slightly startled, "Meet the emperor? What are you going to do?"
"I have my own plans for this matter, so don't worry about it. Just help me find out how my parents were wrongly accused in the first place. I always feel that this matter has something to do with Lin Wanrou."
Leng Shuang said through gritted teeth.
"Okay, whatever you want to do, I will support you. If you want to kill her, you can do it at any time." Gu Tingyu looked at Leng Shuang's determined eyes. He knew that once Leng Shuang decided, there was nothing he could do about it.
stop.
"What about you? You have to go with me. I don't want you to get involved. You are a dignified prince. If you are recognized by others, you will definitely get into trouble." Leng Shuang said.
"I wish they all knew me." Gu Tingyu said.
Leng Shuang glared at Gu Tingyu and said, "Don't be ridiculous. This banquet is a palace banquet. The emperor will announce my marriage to you."
Gu Tingyu's face turned pale and he asked in disbelief: "Is this the emperor's will?"
"Yes." Leng Shuang said.
Just as Leng Shuang finished speaking, there was a knock on the door: "Dong dong dong."
"Come in." Leng Shuang shouted.
"Girl, the old lady asked me to tell you that the clothes for this palace banquet have been prepared. I want you to change and go over." The little maid said respectfully.
"Yes, I understand." Leng Shuang responded.
The maid turned around and left.
Leng Shuang stood up and went behind the screen to change clothes.
After Leng Shuang finished changing her clothes, she came out from behind the screen and looked at her appearance in the mirror. Leng Shuang's face instantly turned pale.
This face is not my original face at all!
Leng Shuang took a deep breath, then walked to the table and sat down.
Gu Tingyu looked at Leng Shuang, stretched out his hand and pinched the tip of Leng Shuang's nose, and said dotingly: "Shuang'er, this banquet is prepared for me. You can attend it with peace of mind. No matter what happens, I will protect you."
you."
Leng Shuang looked at Gu Tingyu, nodded, then took Gu Tingyu's hand and said, "Well, I listen to you."
…
The palace banquet was held in the Ziyun Palace to the west of the palace. This Ziyun Palace is a palace specially designed to receive distinguished guests and usually does not open its door to anyone.
Outside Ziyun Palace, Leng Shuang held Gu Tingyu's hand tightly.
At this moment, Leng Shuang's heart was beating like thunder. She was afraid, but she couldn't help but look forward to it.
"Relax." Gu Tingyu patted the back of Leng Shuang's hand.
Gu Tingyu led Leng Shuang and walked inside. Along the way, Leng Shuang lowered her head for fear of being seen by others. Although Leng Shuang's scandal was spread throughout the capital, she still did not dare to show her face. She was afraid of causing an uproar.
.
Leng Shuang held Gu Tingyu's hand tightly, and the two finally walked to the hall of Ziyun Palace.
"I, my concubine, send my regards to the Emperor."
Leng Shuang looked at Lin Wanrou who was kneeling on the ground, clenching her fists tightly and her eyes full of anger and resentment.
Gu Tingyu protected Leng Shuang behind him. He glanced lightly at the people kneeling on the ground, and then rested his eyes on Lin Wanrou.
"My lord, why are you here?" Lin Wanrou said in surprise.
Gu Tingyu curled his lips and said with a smile: "I am here to pick up Shuang'er. Why, don't you welcome me?"
After Gu Tingyu finished speaking, the people kneeling on the ground cast envious and jealous looks at Leng Shuang.
A smile appeared at the corner of Leng Shuang's mouth. She walked slowly to Gu Tingyu's side and took Gu Tingyu's arm.
"Of course you're welcome." Lin Wanrou forced out a smile.
Leng Shuang glanced at Lin Wanrou, and then said: "Sister, since you said so, I will go back with Ting Yu first."
"Let's go slowly without seeing you off." Lin Wan said with a soft smile.
Leng Shuang smiled, then turned to Gu Tingyu and said, "Let's go."
After saying that, Leng Shuang took Gu Tingyu and walked outside. When the two of them walked out of the hall, they happened to see Lin Yanran coming in from the door.
When Lin Yanran saw Gu Tingyu and Leng Shuang, she paused slightly and stared straight at Leng Shuang.
Leng Shuang also looked at Lin Yanran blankly.
After not seeing each other for four years, Lin Yanran still looked like she was sixteen or seventeen years old. Her skin was as tender as jade, and her facial features were delicate and beautiful. However, her face lacked some warmth and instead had a touch of coldness.
Seeing Lin Yanran's appearance, Leng Shuang suddenly felt a strange feeling in her heart. She always felt that Lin Yanran seemed different from before.
Gu Tingyu looked at Lin Yanran and frowned slightly.
Lin Yanran noticed Gu Tingyu's gaze, calmed down her thoughts, walked to Gu Tingyu's side with a smile, and said, "Brother, why did you come to the palace banquet tonight?"
Gu Tingyu frowned and ignored Lin Yanran. Instead, he turned to look at Leng Shuang and said, "Shuang'er, let me take you back to your room first."
Leng Shuang nodded, "Well, okay."
Watching Gu Tingyu and Leng Shuang leave, a look of sinisterness flashed across Lin Yanran's face.
"Princess, let's go back to the room." Cuixiang walked to Lin Yanran and lowered her voice and said, "Gu Tingyu is really stupid. He actually brought Leng Shuang to the palace banquet."
"Humph, this Gu Tingyu is nothing to be afraid of. His parents died young and he climbed to the position of prince by relying on the power of the Gu family. However, he is just a commoner. He is no better than our Lin family." Lin Yanran said disdainfully.
.
"Yes, Miss Yingming." Cuixiang said flatteringly: "I am also happy for our Lin family. Although Gu Tingyu has a noble status, he is a useless dandy after all."
Lin Yanran pursed her lips and smiled and said, "Let's go."
The two of them walked towards the house.
"Shuang'er, you see you have lost a lot of weight recently." Gu Tingyu touched Leng Shuang's thin cheek and said worriedly: "Shuang'er, you have to remember that you are not only the eldest lady of the Gu family, but also the Princess of Zhennan. You
Learn to be strong."
"Yes, I understand."
Gu Tingyu nodded and said: "You are the only legitimate daughter of the Gu family. There will be a long time to come. You don't have to be afraid. I will always be by your side to accompany you."
"I believe you." Leng Shuang's eyes turned red. She knew that she was not worthy of Gu Tingyu, but as long as she was willing, she could do anything for Gu Tingyu.
"Fool, why are you crying?" Gu Tingyu raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of Leng Shuang's eyes.
His movements were very gentle, as if he were wiping a rare treasure.
"Tingyu, I...I'm afraid that I've done something wrong." Leng Shuang's tears became more and more fierce, as if she was going to faint from crying in the next second.
"Fool, you can't be wrong, trust me."
"Yes." Leng Shuang nodded vigorously with tears in her eyes.
"By the way, what happened to your arm?" Gu Tingyu suddenly remembered something, his tone suddenly became sharp, and he asked.
"I..." Leng Shuang bit her lip and was speechless.
"You don't need to explain. I believe you. As long as you promise me a word, I will promise you whatever you say."
"What words?"
"No matter what happens, we must trust each other." Gu Tingyu said softly.
"Yeah." Leng Shuang responded obediently. This chapter has been completed!
