C60

This was just like the consciousness deep inside her bones. She actually knew how to pick, stroke, tick, and stab, and what kind of sound it would make. The zither strings obediently moved under her fingers!

Gu Hua Jing couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart, so she familiarized herself with it. Subconsciously, she played out the familiar yet unfamiliar tune in her mind.

Elegant, affectionate, and lovingly entwined, it seemed to contain boundless love and charm, stirring the softest melody in the deepest part of a person's heart.

The familiar sound caused Gu Hua Jing to forget where she was. It was as if she was still in that lifetime, as if she was surrounded by someone who doted on her, someone who had lived for so many years and engraved her memories into her bones.

But everything had changed, and she had long since realized that even in her dreams these days, she rarely dreamed of that concrete.

Gu Hua Jing's vision turned hazy, and she couldn't help but respond to the melody that came out of her mouth. She slowly opened her mouth and said:

"Don't bring up the past anymore. Life has been fraught with trials and hardships. Even if you can't erase your memories, love and hate will remain in your heart."

"It's really going to end tomorrow. Don't ask for my information so hard …" "It's really going to end tomorrow …"

"Love is a difficult problem. It makes people dazzle, it might be possible to forget the pain, but it is not easy to forget you."

"You haven't really left. You have always been in my heart. I still love you, and there's nothing I can do about it …"

The cool voice was filled with confusion and disappointment. It was just a few scattered words, but it seemed to be addicted to one's soul.

Feng Rong looked at Gu Hua Jing, who seemed to have woken up from her trance, and stopped singing. However, her previous appearance was very memorable.

What was she mourning? Was it Bai Lingtian who mourned so deeply in his heart? She still had love for Bai Lingtian in her heart, but she knew she was powerless. That was why she wanted to end the past?!

Gu Hua Jing's hand stopped moving, and the sound of the zither abruptly stopped. She smiled, somewhat unconcerned. "I made a fool of myself in front of His Highness. This little girl hasn't touched these things for a long time."

"Miss Gu, is there anything else after the song you just sang? "What song is it? Why have I never heard it before?"

Yingying seemed to have just come back to her senses, this was the first time she lost etiquette in front of Feng Rong, so she couldn't wait to ask about the song.

Gu Hua Jing smiled and shook her head, "It's just that I randomly heard it, the one behind …" I don't remember. "

"Yes …" "So it's like that …"

Ying Ying's eyes looked as if she lost something, but her regretful expression showed clearly in her words.

She asked herself if she had ever been one of the best since she had started practicing her vocal music. There were no melodies that she had never heard of, no little songs that she knew how to sing.

But what Miss Gu had sung just now was something she had never heard before.

She had never seen the Third Prince look like that before. He was focused and breathtaking, as if his soul was captivated by the song! That was something that had never happened to her when she was playing and singing …

Perhaps it was because of the memories of the past, but Gu Hua Jing's excitement from strolling in the brothel had dissipated quite a bit.

She had seen the beauty before, touched her hands, listened to the song, and watched the dance. Gu Hua Jing felt very satisfied.

So she got up and said goodbye to Feng Rong.

"Today, I am indebted to Your Highness for welcoming me. This little girl will be extremely grateful, so this little girl will not disturb Your Highness' elegant mood, and will take the initiative first step."

Gu Hua Jing had once again become that well-educated and refined lady. Although her clothes were still out of the ordinary, her conduct was still somewhat normal.

Green Plum and Green Branch almost had tears in their eyes as they followed behind her with teary eyes and bowed.

"Miss Gu sure is secretive. Today's song has made you look like a celestial person. Only this zither is a bit too ordinary."

An elegant smile appeared on Feng Rong's beautiful face, and her curved eyebrows seemed to have a bewitching charm to them.

"In the future, when I find a zither that matches the young lady, would young lady be willing to sing out the rest for me?"

"This little girl has really forgotten. I've ruined Your Highness' mood, so this little girl is terrified."

Gu Hua Jing gently refused and slowly withdrew with the little girl.

Her figure disappeared for a long time before Feng Rong retracted her gaze.

Yingge Xiuwu was his place to gather information. He had only come here today to take a look, but he never expected to see such an interesting one.

The fourth lady of the Gu family seemed to be very different from the rumors.

Was this stubborn and stubborn lady who wholeheartedly admired Bai Lingtian really this calm and unfathomable woman in front of him?

Feng Rong touched the jade ring on her pinky one by one. The oily warm jade ring seemed to be able to calm his anxiety, but it couldn't soothe the feeling of interest from discovering something new …

Today could be said to be a long day, but Gu Hua Jing's mood was lazy.

She sat in the carriage, her head on her hands, thinking about the bird song.

She wondered why the Third Prince would allow her to go upstairs. This was not logical.

A man shouldn't treat women like he wanted to share them with others. For example, if she was alone with Ying Ying and Xiuhong, she definitely wouldn't let anyone else appear.

But the third prince gave in, and …

Gu Hua Jing had no choice but to admit that she felt the great danger from the Third Prince, which seemed to have deepened it.

Although it was still her intuition and speculation, Gu Hua Jing still believed in her intuition.

When they returned to the garden, the servant said that Li Song had already been waiting for her for some time.

Gu Hua Jing hurried to the parlour and saw Li Song sitting there.

"Elder Li? "Why are you here, is it …"

Gu Hua Jing's eyes flashed, "Was it because I cooked this medicinal cuisine and that person didn't eat it?"

Li Song looked at her and forced a smile. "I ate it …"

"Then why do you look unhappy?" Gu Hua Jing suddenly came to a realization, "You can't be thinking that I'll only do it once, right? "Don't worry, it's written on the book. As long as you need it, I will make it for you."

Saying this, Gu Hua Jing pretended to tug at her sleeves, "What do you want to do today?"

Li Song's eyes dimmed, not at all amused by Gu Hua Jing's actions. He seemed to have a lot on his mind, but he didn't know how to say it.

Seeing this, Gu Hua Jing found a chair and sat down, instructing the little girl to bring a pot of good tea.

Elder Li, although I have not known you for long, I think it is very speculative. You know me very well, you do not like to beat around the bush and you know that the Imperial Dining Hall already has a small reputation in the capital.

Gu Hua Jing paused for a moment before adding, "If I can help, I definitely won't stand by and do nothing. If I can't, then … "Well, it could also help to come up with an idea."

Elder Li raised his head with difficulty. His lips moved a few times, but he didn't say anything. What was he going to say?

He didn't like to owe others favors, so he used Gu Hua Jing's recipe, accepted her favor, and directly sold himself to the restaurant.

But now, why did he ask Gu Hua Jing to go to the Third Prince's Mansion to make medicinal food?

After waiting for a long time, Gu Hua Jing didn't hear Li Song say anything. She had a premonition that Li Song was definitely struggling in his heart.

However, since he had come to the Flowing Garden, it meant that he was inclined to struggle.

"Elder Li, just say it. How unimaginable is this? "Even if it doesn't make sense, I can pretend that I've never heard of it before. If you keep on holding it in like this, you will be unable to hold it in."

Gu Hua Jing really had no other choice. She was practically begging for it.

Only then did Li Song shut his eyes tightly, "He was willing to eat that medicinal food, but he never ate the food that was reheated, and he felt like it was taken from outside the manor, so …"

"So …?"

"So …"

Li Song frowned, unable to continue.

However, Gu Hua Jing had already guessed more than half of it. Do you still think that the medicinal cuisine was brought in from outside the manor?

Was this a human? Is this our ancestor?

"So you want me to go to that person's residence and make medicinal food for him?"

Li Song looked apologetic, "I know this doesn't make sense …"

"Yeah, it's quite inappropriate."

He had never felt this awkward before, never had he made such a humble and unreasonable request before, it was just that …

"This old man... "This old man knows that forcing someone to do something is difficult. Even if you chase me out, I have no complaints. However, I am unwilling to accept it if I do not come asking for a favor …"

Gu Hua Jing looked at Li Song's flushed face and couldn't help but be curious, "You old friend's son, how did you manage to put in so much effort?"

"It's me …" "I owe him …"

Li Song's voice was like a specter, so low that it could not be heard.

"I owe his mother, and I owe him too. Originally, that child was naive and innocent, but now he's been forced by fate to such a state."

"Elder Li, no one can be forever innocent. Look at me, isn't that the case? What he is like now is only his own choice. "

"But if! If I hadn't tried to be brave at that time! He didn't get carried away by his own medical skills! Everything! Maybe it's something else! "

Gu Hua Jing jumped in fright. In front of her, Li Song's eyes were bloodshot and his hoarse voice sounded like a trapped beast. This was the first time she had seen this old man in such a state of mind.

The hall was so quiet that his ears hurt. He could only hear Li Song's hurried breathing.

After a while, his breathing gradually calmed down, and the red in Li Song's eyes also slowly faded away.

He stood up straight with his back slightly hunched, as if he had lost something that supported his self-esteem.

"Little girl Gu, I have nothing left now but my medical skills. I don't know if you're willing to or not, but I'm willing to give them all to you. I'll do whatever you want me to do, even if it goes against my will …"

Li Song spoke very slowly, but his voice was incredibly heavy.

Gu Hua Jing was startled, just what kind of past events could force an old man with her pride into a compromise …?

How important the son of an old friend must have been to him!

Gu Hua Jing stood up without a word. Li Song followed her movements and turned his eyes, watching her slowly walk in front of him. Her eyes were clear and bright, and her posture was dignified and elegant.

Two steps away from her, Gu Hua Jing stopped in her tracks. Li Song was waiting for her reaction, was he mocking her with his disdain? Or was it a tactful rejection?
