Chapter 110: Drunk Love
Chapter 110: Drunk Love
Gu Nianzhi hurried back to the mansion and went straight to Sima Yao's study.
There was no one in the room. I pulled the maid over and found out that Sima Yao was in the bedroom.
"The prince was in a bad mood today and drank a lot of wine. He didn't want anyone else to serve him and only left Guard Lin by his side. I seemed to hear the prince yelling something at first."
Could it be that Sima Yao was offended in the court today? After Sima Ye ascended the throne, he did target Sima Yao in everything, but since Sima Yao asked to leave the capital and guard the border, the situation has improved a lot, so why is there a problem again today?
Gu Nianzhi hurried to the bedroom.
Lin Heng was holding a basin of water and handing it to the maid outside the door.
When Lin Heng saw Gu Nianzhi appear, he felt like he had seen a savior.
"Mr. Gu, I'm glad you're here."
"Did Your Majesty suffer any offense in the court today?"
Lin Heng looked at Gu Nianzhi, the instigator who had an innocent look on his face. He couldn't help but sigh deeply.
"You should wait until the prince wakes up and ask him yourself. It's not that he got mad at the court, but someone made him feel uncomfortable."
"Who could make the prince so angry? The emperor?"
Lin Heng didn't say anything.
"Or maybe it's someone from the Bai family?"
"Mr. Gu, you should wait until he wakes up before asking. There are some things that I, as a subordinate, cannot say."
Lin Heng gave instructions as he walked towards the door.
"Oh, Mr. Gu, the prince drank too much and has vomited twice. I just cleaned him and changed him into clean clothes. I don't know if he will vomit again. I'm afraid you will have to watch over him tonight. I'm afraid he will fall asleep and choke on his trachea with the vomit. That could be fatal..."
Seeing Lin Heng's face full of despair, Gu Nianzhi knew that Sima Yao must have tormented Lin Heng a lot before he came, so she quickly agreed: "Don't worry, I'm here, you can take a rest first."
Lin Hengben had already walked to the door, but after thinking about it, he turned back.
"Mr. Gu, there are some things I shouldn't say, but our prince and I grew up together, and I really can't bear to see him in such pain."
Lin Heng pointed to a plate of peach blossom cakes on the table.
"I took this out of the prince's arms when I was changing his clothes. He was drunk but kept saying it was for you. I guess he went to the palace to pay his respects to the Grand Empress Dowager today and thought the peach blossom cakes there were delicious. He knew you loved sweets, so he brought them back specially for you."
Gu Nianzhi followed where Lin Heng pointed and looked at the table.
On the table, the oil paper had been unfolded, and the peach blossom pastry inside had become a little loose.
In addition, there were some items taken from Sima Yao scattered around, including jade pendants, silver bags, and the phoenix-inlaid kingfisher hairpin that Gu Nianzhi had always dreamed of!
Gu Nianzhi slowly shifted her gaze from the peach blossom pastry to the hairpin.
She could no longer hear a word Lin Heng said.
She could only hear the voice in her heart - "We can go back now! We can go back now!"
As soon as Lin Heng left, Gu Nianzhi immediately stood up, grabbed the hairpin from the table and held it in her hand.
She wished she could travel back in time and continue her unsatisfactory but routine life.
Here, there are swords and sabers every day, and every step is difficult. If she is not careful, she will lose her life. She really can't hold on any longer.
Just hold the hairpin, walk a few more steps, go directly into the dark room of the bedroom, pierce your finger with the spear, use the hairpin as the key, the spear as the door, and the blood as the energy. After experiencing a short moment of pain, you can return to real life.
Everything here is just like a dream.
Dreams always end someday.
Gu Nianzhi walked to the door of the dark room. She thought she would leave without hesitation, but at this moment she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Sima Yao on the bed.
He was very drunk and fell into a deep sleep.
"This farewell should be forever."
Gu Nianzhi actually stopped.
"Take one last look at him. Just one look."
As if possessed by some mysterious force, Gu Nianzhi put down her hairpin and walked to Sima Yao's bedside.
Sima Yao looked like he had had a nightmare, his brows were tightly furrowed.
Gu Nianzhi stroked Sima Yao's hair and gently smoothed the small lines between his eyebrows.
"Don't frown all the time. You'll ruin all your good luck."
"Nianzhi..." Sima Yao in the dream seemed to sense something and murmured Gu Nianzhi's name.
"fool."
Gu Nianzhi couldn't help but feel tears welling up in her eyes.
When Sima Yao wakes up from his dream, will he often think of himself?
Gu Nianzhi intertwined her fingers with Sima Yao's, just like the two of them did on the street at dusk that day, with their fingers intertwined.
I was reluctant to leave. I didn't expect that when I was leaving, all I could feel was reluctance.
The last kiss, just treat it as a goodbye kiss.
While thinking about it, Sima Yao was sleeping very soundly, and he had this bold idea.
She leaned down, closed her eyes, and covered Sima Yao's lips with her own.
His lips are so soft.
There is still a hint of tea and a hint of wine in the mouth.
"We'll never see each other again, Sima Yao."
After making the final decision in her heart, Gu Nianzhi opened her eyes, only to see Sima Yao in front of her had already woken up.
Gu Nianzhi tried to get up in a panic, but Sima Yao grabbed her neck.
Their lips touched again.
After a brief moment of confusion and sweetness, Sima Yao spoke.
"Nianzhi, don't leave me."
Gu Nianzhi was shocked. How could he know her plan?
Her hand secretly reached for the hairpin in her sleeve, and it was still there.
"You, what are you thinking about? How could I leave you?"
Gu Nianzhi forced a smile.
Sima Yao hugged Gu Nianzhi and was unwilling to let go.
"I thought you wouldn't come back tonight at Jiya Pavilion... I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Gu Nianzhi couldn't see Sima Yao's face, but she could feel his body trembling slightly.
"What happened to you today? Did the emperor embarrass you in the court?"
"Not really. I didn't meet the Emperor today."
"Who offended you? I heard from Lin Heng that you drank a lot of alcohol."
Gu Nianzhi gently pushed Sima Yao away from her, looked into his eyes, and asked carefully in her most gentle voice, fearing that she would touch upon his sorrow again.
"Who else could it be?"
Sima Yao lowered his eyes, like a bullied wife, stepped his legs off the bed, put on his shoes, and stood up.
Gu Nianzhi stood up from the bed, stood beside Sima Yao, and followed him all the way to the table and sat down.
"Who is it? I can't figure it out no matter how hard I try."
"Don't you really know?"
Sima Yao tore the oil paper a little further, looked at it, and finally picked out a complete piece and handed it to Gu Nianzhi.
Then he picked up another piece of broken peach blossom cake and stuffed it into his mouth.
Sima Yao never thought that he would be so angry about another person that he would not eat anything.
Now that he saw Gu Nianzhi by his side, although he was still angry, he felt much better than before.
