Chapter 113
Chapter 113
For some reason, Gu Zizhan's temperament has indeed changed recently.
This change was slow and silent, but when both of them calmed down and compared it with the original situation, these changes were also revealed.
The most obvious change is that when Gu Zizhan handles affairs, his methods are more severe and ruthless.This is an external change. From Gu Zizhan's heart, she also found that she has no scruples about other people's lives and vital interests.Even in terms of getting along with Chu Lan, it was better when he was outside, but once he returned to his own world, his possessiveness and suspicion became a little difficult to control.
Because of this, those unreasonable words just blurted out.As if unknowingly, a ferocious beast had been hidden in her heart, with violence and impatience surging in her veins.
And Chu Lan even noticed that when Gu Zizhan came in, he babbled less and less in his sleep, but his expression was no longer the tranquility of the past. There was always a trace of hostility that slowly climbed onto her face after she was asleep.It's just that the mole on the end of Gu Zizhan's eyebrows remained dim, and even showed signs of dissipating.Chu Lan couldn't tell for a while whether Gu Zizhan's slowly changing personality had anything to do with what Daoist Yuan Hui said about Gu Che's lingering spiritual consciousness.
Chu Lan was still a little worried, and she didn't know if she was right or wrong in quietly putting the blood jade under Gu Zizhan's pillow.After thinking about it, Chu Lan asked, "Zizhan, have you had any strange dreams these days?"
Gu Zizhan didn't know why, and he was a little reluctant to say more, as if he had some inexplicable emotions in his heart, and he didn't want Chu Lan to see through her at a glance.Subconsciously shaking his head, Gu Zizhan said in a slightly annoyed tone, "It's nothing, I never dreamed of Gu Che again."
Seeing Chu Lan's worried expression, Gu Zizhan looked at her with a half-smile, "Why, I didn't dream of her, do you feel a little regretful?"
Chu Lanxiu frowned slowly, feeling a little annoyed by her words.This is wrong, her Cheng'er would never talk to her like this.
To calm down the emotions surging in her heart, Chu Lan took Gu Zizhan's hand and took her to sit down on the Luohan couch together.With a serious expression, "Cheng'er, you have something on your mind, don't hide it from me."
Unexpectedly, these words annoyed Gu Zizhan again.Gu Zizhan stood up suddenly, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and there seemed to be a dark red flash at the end of his eyes.
"Oh, I have something to hide from you? Ah Lan doesn't want the villain to sue first! If there is deception between us, then you should have deceived me first!"
"I want to ask you, you clearly know that Taoist Yuan Hui and Gu Quan belong to the same faction, and she lives in Gu Quan's house, why don't you tell me! Why, could it be that you prefer your master and win Pass me? How many things are hidden from me between you, and how many things are hidden in your heart that I don't know! You face me day and night, but you hide it for those who want to harm me. How can you question me without guilt!"
After all, Gu Zizhan was already extremely angry, he flicked the sleeve of his robe violently, and swept the white porcelain teacup placed on the table to the ground.
Chu Lan's expression suddenly turned cold.
"Gu Zizhan, do you know what you're talking about?"
In the end, Chu Lan turned and left without delay with a cold face.
Looking at her back, Gu Zizhan slowly climbed into bone-like fear.
For a moment, Chu Lan's back overlapped with what she saw in her dream.In the dream that had lingered in her heart for a long time, Chu Lan turned and left without any regrets.And the moment he left, it became a forever farewell.
After Chu Lan left, Gu Zizhan sat back on the couch.
She lowered her head, and the long hair on the sideburns fell down, covering her face and the tears falling from the corners of her eyes.
It's really not right, it's not right anywhere.Just now when she talked to Chu Lan like that, it seemed as if she split into two people.There is a thought that is forcing her to say those hurtful words aggressively, while another thought seems to be floating in the void, trying to stop it, but it is illusory and has nowhere to go.Half of her heart was severely controlled, and the other half was occupied by anxiety, and the tension between the two made her have a splitting headache.
There is a stove burning in the room, and the flickering flames burn the charcoal, and occasionally there are a few subtle crackling sounds, which set off the quietness of the empty room, which is even more unbearable.Gu Zizhan covered her face with her hands, her heart softened, and she finally admitted that something was wrong with her.
There was also a problem between her and Chu Lan.
Seeing that it was already time to go to Hekun Palace for dinner, Gu Zizhan was really exhausted, so he sent the servant waiting outside to send a message, telling the queen not to wait for her.
She wanted to wait for Chu Lan to come back and apologize to her sincerely.He was also determined to tell Chu Lan what was wrong with him.She didn't do it on purpose, it's just that sometimes she really can't control herself.Thinking of the stupid things he said earlier, Gu Zizhan felt a deep sense of guilt and distress for Chu Lan.
But until Haishi, Chu Lan did not come back.
Gu Zizhan sent his servant to Hekun Palace to inquire about the news, but when the servant came back, he told her that the lights of Hekun Palace were still turned off, and it seemed that the Crown Princess was going to stay there today.
The regret in Gu Zizhan's heart was even worse.It seems that A Lan was really hurt by her.
Laid down on the bed alone, Gu Zizhan lazily took off his shirt, hugged Chu Lan's pillow, his eyelids pulled, but he didn't feel sleepy.
Rolling on the bed a few times, Gu Zizhan rubbed the pillow aside.Suddenly, he saw something flashing under the pillow.Curiously, Gu Zizhan reached out his hand, and took out a jade stone that looked like blood and radiated coldness from under the pillow.
Putting the jade in the palm of his hand, Gu Zizhan suddenly frowned and felt a sharp pain in his head.It was as if someone took a rusty blunt knife and split her head inch by inch!
A chill rising from the bottom of her heart enveloped her, as if she fell into the deep sea in an instant, and was submerged by the boundless cold sea water, surrounded by this cold feeling from head to toe.He was about to suffocate, and it seemed that something was about to break out of the cocoon
No one saw that the already dim red mole at the end of her eyebrow seemed to come alive suddenly.The blood jade in her hand became more and more colorful, reflecting each other with the mole on the end of her eyebrow, giving Gu Zizhan's face a tinge of sternness and treachery.
With shuffling feet, Gu Zizhan walked stiffly to the dressing table.She gently picked up a bronze mirror, and the faces in the mirror were both familiar and unfamiliar.Suddenly, the corner of the man's mouth was drawn up, and when his eyes met, a smile appeared.
Willing to win.
When Gu Zizhan woke up the next day, he had completely forgotten what happened last night.
Her head hurt a little, her body was a little limp, and she couldn't exert any strength.Rubbing the forehead, Gu Zizhan vaguely remembered that in the dream last night, his eyes were bloodshot.It seemed that someone was bewitching her, pulling her step by step towards the sea of blood.But at the same time, there seemed to be a voice calling her anxiously, and a gust of breeze came from time to time, calling back her half-moment of clarity.In a pinch, stop her from falling into that abyss.
It seemed that something was slowly waking up from the depths of the soul.
When the court came down today, Gu Zizhan remembered the quarrel with Chu Lan yesterday, and was a little absent-minded.
Emperor Tianshun looked at her from the side, and saw that the pen in her hand had not dropped for a long time, the ink had collected to the tip of the pen, and then dripped onto the paper, forming clusters of ink.
With a light cough, Emperor Tianshun called Hui Zizhan's attention. Seeing her pale face, he couldn't help asking: "Ache, what's wrong with you today? Are you tired and feeling unwell?"
Gu Zizhan was startled, only to realize that he had been in a trance for a long time.Putting the pen on the pen mount, Gu Zizhan rubbed his temples with his hands and sighed, "I'm sorry."
Emperor Tianshun didn't care, "There's no need to be so polite." After a pause, he said, "Since you call the queen mother and you have officially recorded it under our name, in the future, you can also call me emperor father."
Gu Zizhan hurriedly clasped his fists, "Thank you for your kindness." He wanted to get up to complete the etiquette, but was stopped by Emperor Tianshun. "It's okay, no need to be polite."
After thinking about it, Emperor Tianshun asked her: "I heard that You'er stayed in Kunning Palace last night. Are you two having trouble?" Excuse her, "Oh, there is no overnight feud between husband and wife. You are both good children, and there will never be any major conflicts. If you quarrel, as a man, you should have some tolerance. My daughter-in-law, be soft. , say something nice, and you can pass."
Gu Zizhan's expression softened, but thinking of Chu Lan's cold expression when he left yesterday, he couldn't help sighing again, "Father, I said some stupid things that annoyed her. She doesn't want to talk to me, and I don't want to bother her." She, let her get in the way again."
Seeing her like this, Emperor Tianshun seemed to recall some past events when he was young, and couldn't help chuckling. "You guys are still young. Young people are always temperamental, and they are all arrogant people. It's not uncommon for them to get angry when they rush to talk."
Afterwards, some sadness appeared on his face, Emperor Tianshun changed the subject and his tone became solemn. "But when you encounter something, you still have to explain it clearly to the other party. You must not hide it. Whether it is good or bad, you have to be honest with each other. Sometimes, things are hidden too much. When you want to say it, you can’t say it clearly anymore. Once a estrangement really arises, it will be difficult to go back to the past, and in the end, it is my own size who is sad."
"You are still young, don't leave any regrets for the future."
Gu Zizhan was slightly stunned, followed Emperor Tianshun's words, and murmured: "Yes, I shouldn't have kept it from her." Then he was a little annoyed, "But it's a matter, she was the one who kept it from me first."
Tianshun Dilang laughed: "Silly boy, how can we talk about this kind of thing? Even if You'er has something to hide from you, you should express your opinion to her first, and explain the matter clearly first, and she will naturally tell her what's on her mind. you."
He smiled nervously again, "Furthermore, the girl's thoughts are heavier, maybe you are too negligent on weekdays, and you can't tell if you are negligent." Gu Zizhan didn't see the expression of Emperor Tianshun, but he heard what he said. Makes sense, and nodded obediently, "Father is right, maybe I ignore her on weekdays. Ah, how stupid I am! There are some things that I can ask directly, but I just keep thinking about them in my heart. Frighten yourself!"
Emperor Tianshun laughed, picked up the memorial and tapped Gu Zizhan's head, "Why don't you go now? Hurry up, I'll read these memorials for you today! Hurry up and get your wife back!"
Gu Zizhan also laughed, he was not polite at all, he stood up and was about to run.
After taking a few steps and then stopping, Gu Zizhan turned around again.Emperor Tianshun glared at her, annoyed, "What's the matter?"
Gu Zizhan raised his eyebrows, "Father Huang just said something that was inaccurate. It's not that girls are naturally thoughtful, and men shouldn't just think about coaxing when things happen. Husbands and wives should also support and rely on each other Yes. We should be considerate of each other's emotions and thoughts."
After finishing speaking, Gu Zizhan ran away like a gust of wind.
Emperor Tianshun let out a "hey" from behind, seeing her impatient back, stroked her gray beard, and said to himself, "Hey, that's right."
Gu Zizhan left the imperial study room and ran towards the Hekun Palace.The servants behind him ran all the way, out of breath from exhaustion, each stumbling around.
When he arrived at the fork in the road leading to Hekun Palace and East Palace, Gu Zizhan saw from a distance that Chu Lan was leading the maids coming from Hekun Palace, and he should be walking towards the East Palace.
Not caring about much, Gu Zizhan strode forward and trotted to Chu Lan.Taking Chu Lan's hand, Gu Zizhan ordered the servants behind them, "You don't have to follow."
After finishing speaking, he and Chu Lan took a few quick steps to get rid of the crowd. Gu Zizhan looked at Chu Lan and sincerely apologized: "Alan, I was wrong."
Chu Lan still had a cold expressionless face, just like when Gu Zizhan first saw her in Angzhou City.But her attitude didn't frighten Gu Zizhan, who was no longer Wuxia Amon, the thick-skinned man in front of him still held her hand tightly.
Frowning his good-looking eyebrows, Gu Zizhan said, "Alan, something is really wrong with me recently. I shouldn't hide it from you. Let's go back to the East Palace, and I'll tell you everything. Don't ignore me, okay?"
Seeing the sincerity of what she said, Chu Lan thought that he had indeed kept something from her.Although it was out of good intentions, it is better to be honest now.Feeling softer, Chu Lan nodded in response, "Okay. That's right, I have something to tell you."
Gu Zizhan's brows and eyes suddenly relaxed, revealing a warm smile.
However, Chu Lan's expression suddenly changed.
She looked at the blood jade tied around Gu Zizhan's waist, her voice trembling with panic.
"Zizhan! Why do you wear this jade on your body!"
Gu Zizhan followed her gaze and looked at his waist.Immediately also startled.
How could this jade be here!
