C54 (2/2)

”I know.” Gu Yicheng quickly replied as he took the oil-paper umbrella from Qiu Yue's hands and walked towards the person who was standing in the snow and refused to move.

Seeing that, Qiu Yue gave up and ran back to the Cloud Water Pavilion.

Under the roof, Chun Hua was holding onto an umbrella, preparing to come out, but seeing the situation, she had no choice but to put it aside.

”Chun Hua, what exactly do you think Gu Xiang wants to play?” Qiu Yue patted the snow on her head, puzzled.

”I don't know.” Chun Hua forced a smile, the worry in his eyes grew deeper, but there was nothing he could do. ”I'll ask Shui Qin to make some soup to warm his body, so that Madam won't catch a cold.”

With that, Chun Hua opened her umbrella and walked towards the kitchen.

”I wonder when this snow will fall and whether it will affect my journey. I need to prepare more …” Yun Qianliang retracted her hand, and placed her right hand on the red plum tree branch between his left arm, turning around, wanting to turn back. But just as he was about to do so, her voice suddenly stopped, a look of surprise and worry flashed past his eyes, and then, he hid his strange emotions.

”You didn't realize it was me.” Gu Yicheng saw through her disguise with a glance.

With her sensitive ears, she should have recognized the sound of footsteps a long time ago, but she didn't.

”A moment of absent-mindedness.” Yun Qianliang explained while smiling, and easily changed the topic, ”Gu San even asked me to go find you just now.”

”You talk too much.” Gu Yicheng chided in dissatisfaction, ”Your health is not good, once it snows you should go and hide.”

He held onto his umbrella and turned around. After waiting for a while, he finally walked away, and Yun Qianliang had no choice but to follow behind him.

”How could the prime minister understand the strange hobbies women have?” Yun Qianliang frowned, his words revealed his mischievousness, ”Also, Master doesn't think that if I were to sacrifice my beauty for you to see, it will make the next step go even smoother?”

”Your body isn't suitable to go.” Without waiting for Yun Qianliang to explain herself, Gu Yicheng rejected him with a serious face.

”Of course I will.” Yun Qianliang was also a strong leader. She would never be able to get back what he had decided to do no matter how hard he tried.

The poison in her body had already affected her body more and more. She had to find the antidote as soon as possible, she had to go to Tan Yue City.

Gu Yicheng stopped in his tracks, and stared at the person beside him. The coldness in his eyes was like snow, ”Would you rather drag this body to Song Shujin to get the antidote than talk to me about it?”

Did she really need to do so much of the stuff that caused him to be at a disadvantage?

In a matter of life and death, she restrained her superb acting skills and let her take advantage of the loophole.

”Gu Yicheng, I am a person who has been hiding myself in the darkness all year round, I know better than anyone else how to survive in the darkness. You pulled a person who has always been living in the darkness into the light and gave me an important order badge, then you told her, you can trust me and rely on me. You might think that you have trusted me, but the other party should understand your intentions, but I have no way of making such a hasty decision.”

”In this precarious situation, I have no one to rely on. If I want to live, I have to fight for my life myself, so I can't afford to lose at all.”

In the silence of the snow, she withdrew her playful thoughts as her words resounded with force.

”Even if I said I would get you the antidote, would you still go?” Gu Yicheng felt helpless in his heart, it was the first time he felt that the person in front of him had a strength that could not be destroyed, and he was unable to control it.

Using a secret to exchange for the antidote was originally a transaction between the two of us, but right now I have no bargaining chip, so you taking the antidote for me is unfair, it's my fault for scheming against Song Shujin, I have a clear conscience, but I can scheme against someone who has saved me, I will feel uneasy. Yun Qianliang lowered his eyes and avoided the burning gaze.

If he hadn't saved her, she probably wouldn't have been so constrained.

”In the end, you still won't believe me.” The emotions in Gu Yicheng's eyes faded like the tide, and he once again took a step forward.

”Yes.” Yun Qianliang was indeed honest.

”The reason.” Gu Yicheng asked, his tone returning to his usual relaxed joke.

Yun Qianliang was silent for a moment, her thoughts unknown, but in the end, she still answered truthfully, ”There are two of them. Firstly, I do not understand you well enough, and secondly, you let Wen Meng do as she pleases to contradict my principles.”

Although she endured these things, she would not allow such actions to cross the line.

After that, Gu Yicheng no longer spoke, and sent his back to Cloud Water Pavilion in silence.

Gu Yicheng put away the umbrella and walked towards the Qing Hu Tong without saying a word.

”Before I leave the capital, I want to make a trip to the House of the Marquis of An.” Yun Qianliang said to his back.

”I'll arrange it.” Gu Yicheng replied without turning his head.

Yun Qianliang retracted her gaze, turned and went back into the hut, and the two of them seemed to nod casually.
