The news that Lu Jingyi was going to meet princess Nanming was soon officially announced through the mouth of the emperor. A team of 300 people led by Lu Jingyi, including envoys, palace maids, eunuchs, merchants and Guard soldiers, was quickly formed and was about to leave in three days.

Bu Qingyi, who has just left the palace, originally planned to see Lu Jingyi off. Unexpectedly, after being summoned by Empress Dowager Jiang, the seeing off turned into a colleague.

"In fact, it's not the Empress Dowager's intention to let me go, but the emperor's request. On the face of it, it is said that there should be some women's family members of the royal family to accompany, so as to avoid the inconvenience of the princess on the way, and a group of big men can't get involved. In fact, I think it should be a trap again, otherwise there are so many treasures in each government, why do you have to look for me? "

In the inn, bu Qingyi, who is finally able to return, is not happy. Mo GUI, who has prepared a table of food for her early, is also very helpless. While Qian Hua is cursing and the dishes are jingling. Only Qin Chuan is as calm as ever, eating a meal slowly.

"Pei Zan has many tricks. I'm afraid you can't cope with them alone. Mo GUI, you go with her. " A bowl of rice into the stomach, Qinchuan put down the chopsticks, indifferent way.

Bu Qingyi and Mo GUI look at me. I look at you. I look at Qinchuan with suspicion.

Did the sun come out in the west? Qin Chuan, who has always been against the two of them together, shouldn't he block them. Even if Mo GUI offered to go with him, should he argue against them?

"What am I doing? My face is full of money? " Qin Chuan glanced at them coldly. "One of the duties of the Deputy cabinet leader is to protect the cabinet leader. What's the problem? Or, you don't want to go? "

"How can it be? The Deputy cabinet leader who doesn't want to protect Princess Qingxiang is not a good husband. " Mo GUI answers quickly and hides far before Bu Qingyi's fist falls.

"Bu Qingyi quickly picked up two mouthfuls of rice and looked up at Mo GUI:" go I'm afraid it's inconvenient, isn't it? "

"There's nothing inconvenient for me, unless there's something inconvenient for you."

“…… I didn't tell you a tongue twister. It's serious. " Bu Qingyi rolled his eyes. "I promised the Empress Dowager that I would protect King Jin along the way. As far as your magnanimity is concerned, I'll say a few more words with him, and you'll be jealous. Will you be drowned by vinegar all the way

Mo GUI sat back at the table, holding his cheek and looking at Bu Qingyi, with a careless smile on his face: "people are going to meet their daughter-in-law in Nanming country this time, do I still need to be jealous of him?"

Bu Qingyi blinked and thought about it. He turned his mouth and said, "well, he said that he would not pester me any more."

Although Lu Jingyi has always been affectionate towards Bu Qingyi, he doesn't care to express his love for her in front of Mo GUI, but he knows what responsibility is and what commitment is. If the marriage with Nanming Princess becomes an established fact, even if the only one in his heart is still Bu Qingyi, he will hide this infatuation and give all tenderness to his wife.

On this point, bu Qingyi has no doubt.

Seeing her compromise, Mo GUI nodded with satisfaction: "that's a happy agreement. I will go with you as a family member at that time."

"Do you still want to get on the front line? Have you eaten the gall of ambition? I guess Pei Zan is looking for you all over the world at the moment. Do you want to take the initiative to stretch out your neck and let him chop? " Bu Qingyi took it back.

"I support Mo GUI on this point." Qin Chuan rarely took the initiative to declare his position, and even more rarely stood on the side of Mogui. "This trip is very likely to be a trap set by the emperor and Pei Zan. Now that you know the danger, you must avoid it as much as possible. After all, Mo GUI has been with Pei Zan for more than ten years. He knows his methods very well. It's safer to have him around you. "

Mo GUI echoed: "if I follow you in the dark, I'm afraid I can't get there in time if anything happens. After all, Pei Zan used to be the deputy leader of Luan Xue Pavilion. If he did, he would live and die in an instant. He must not take this risk. "

Even Qinchuan has opened his mouth, and bu Qingyi has no reason to insist on opposing it. She frowned and finished the remaining half bowl of rice. Suddenly she raised her head and said, "what about the South candle?"

Mo GUI said without hesitation, "is that still a question? With us, of course. Do you think he will agree to let Nanzhu stay here, or let him go with Uncle Qin? "

That is to say, this trip to Nanming, not only with Mo GUI who wants to show his identity all the time, but also with the same Southern candle as a child?

Bu Qingyi was sad and sighed.

It's nothing to take them. The key is that there are three other people on this trip - Liu Xiaoyi, Bai yuelang and Lei Yunwei.

This trip is escorted by Lei Yunwei's father. It's understandable that his apprentice son goes with him. Liu Xiaoyi is not on the list of her peers. When she heard that Bu Qingyi was asked to join, she had to go with her. Bai yuelang naturally came with Liu Xiaoyi.

Liu Xiaoyi has a heart full of gossip, let her know that Mo GUI and bu Qingyi go together, just afraid that the problems and teasing along the way will be endless.No need to think about it. Her ears are going to suffer from a long time of noise.

Dong.

Bu Qingyi was startled by the sudden noise. She looked up in surprise. She saw lead China with angry face and round eyes, sweeping from their faces one by one: "one by one, they are either straight faced or downcast. Can they do it? What day is tomorrow? Don't you count in your heart? You have to make me angry, don't you? "

"Tomorrow? What day is tomorrow? " Bu Qingyi's eyes were blindfolded.

Mo GUI pinched his eyebrows and said with a wry smile, "I forgot if I didn't tell you about lead China. Tomorrow is new year's Eve! The most important festival of the year should really be happy. No wonder lead Hua is angry. "

Bu Qingyi suddenly realized, but also a little disappointed.

For Qianhua, or even for Mo Huihui, new year's Eve should be a celebration, right? That's why they attach so much importance to it and hope to spend the day with the best attitude.

But not for her.

"Well, tomorrow is new year's Eve. What are you doing today? It's getting late. Go to bed. " Qin Chuan suddenly had a bit of anger, a reprimand, drove the people away from the table to return to the room.

But in a twinkling of an eye, Mo GUI, who was supposed to go back to the room to have a rest, ran to the room in Qinchuan.

"Did anything bad happen on New Year's Eve? The expression of Qingyi, uncle Qin, you deliberately digress from the topic, which makes me very concerned! " Mo GUI leans in front of the door, embracing his shoulders with both hands. He never leaves until he reaches his goal.

Qin Chuan motioned to him to close the door. After drinking two cups of tea in a row, he opened his mouth low: "the birthday of the Lord of the pavilion is new year's Eve."

Mo GUI didn't speak, but the expression on his face was no longer so natural.

He knew that all the memories related to Gu would only bring pain to bu Qingyi.

Bu Qingyi didn't understand? Since she listened to Liu Xiaoyi's persuasion and accepted her feelings for Mo GUI, her headache and amnesia disappeared when she thought of Gu Chaoxi. However, this does not mean that the pain brought by Gu's experiences also disappeared.

New year's Eve

She used to remember his birthday very clearly. As soon as he entered December, she began to scratch her head and think about what gift to give him. A straw hat stained with fingertip blood, an ugly Embroidered Purse, and a Jasper Pendant that I secretly saved for more than half a year At that time, she naively thought that Gu Chaoxi was her world and would always leave the best things to him.

But he never thanks.

Gu Chaoxi always said that he hated birthdays, which would remind him of time, make him one year older, the gap is also growing. Bu Qingyi didn't understand what he called the gap at that time, but he answered several times in silence.

Later, she stopped giving him birthday gifts. She left the brothers alone on New Year's Eve to celebrate. She came to his room alone, holding the wine jar in her hand, and accompanied him to drink the last meal of the year and the first meal of the next year.

This habit lasted four years.

The last time she drank with him, she was no longer the timid little girl in those years. She gradually understood what feelings were, and gradually realized that the relationship between them had changed. On weekdays, she would hide from Gu Chaoxi without any trace, but this day is his birthday after all. She didn't want him to spend it alone, so she ran to his room with wine as usual, intending to spend the end of the year with him.

That time, Gu was rarely drunk.

He drank a lot of wine, said a lot of words, sat on the ground and leaned on Bu Qingyi's shoulder, nagging how difficult it was to take care of the disordered snow Pavilion. Bu Qingyi listened to his words, sometimes laughing, sometimes sighing, and felt that the new year's Eve was so good that he could see him completely different from usual.

I don't know whether the wine is too fragrant or I'm in a good mood. Bu Qingyi sleeps in Gu's nagging voice.

Until I was awakened by a wonderful feeling.

Gu Zhaoxi still leans by her side, her head buried in her ear, warm and soft feeling with a little moist, from her earlobe to her neck.

Bu Qingyi suddenly wakes up. In a panic, she pushes Gu Chaoxi away and crawls backward. Then, regardless of his retention, she turns and rushes to the door.

The moment the door opened, the body with wine and heat came up, the palm with long fingers closed the door again, and another long arm pulled her into the solid embrace behind her.

To this day, bu Qingyi still can't remember what Gu Chaoxi said at that time. The unprecedented panic made her feel like a weak child. She could only slap the door with her palm in vain.

Who doesn't know he likes her? Who will forget that he is the head of a cabinet? And who would offend a cold dragon for her?

Bu Qingyi couldn't get away from him. Instead, he turned over and pressed on the door. His chest was too heavy to breathe. Her mind was blank, and she could not remember how long the time had passed. Her loss of consciousness was ended by the cry of looking for her South candle outside the courtyard.

Gu Chaoxi's impulse finally came to an end in this depiction.

He let her go, pushed her out of the door and trapped himself in the room until three days later.When Bu Qingyi saw him again, Gu Chaoxi seemed to have forgotten what happened that night. His words and deeds were the same as those in ordinary times.

But bu Qingyi understood that they could never go back to the past.

For this reason, she even secretly hated him, and always had a bad temper and treated him coldly.

And just three months after it happened, he personally put her in the ice coffin, and gave her all the hope of living and the pain of staying alone in the world.
