Chapter sixty-ninth words
She was behind and he was in front, and he couldn't see his expression clearly.
The wind stopped, the black clothes drooped and fell, and the body was stunned.
Gu Wanqing stared at his back, and her heartbeat suddenly became faster, and she didn't know what she was nervous about.
Seeing that he didn't answer, she asked again, "Do we know each other?"
After a long time, Bai Jue turned around.
The orange light of the sunset was flooding, and the light on the lake poured out, reflecting Bai Jue's side face melted into the tenderness of the edges and corners of the glacier.
"Why do you say that?" Bai Jue asked back.
Gu Wanqing frowned slightly, paused, and gently opened her red lips, "If I hadn't known each other, why did you believe me so much?"
Although she did have Ruohong and the handle in Bai Jue's hands, this is not enough to establish a reason for Bai Jue to relax his vigilance against her.
Political involvement and party, these are things that others will never mention.
He was dedicated to the Eastern Palace and would not joke about the prince's future. He casually told a female general who had just met for a while.
Bai Jue stared at her looking forward to and curious about getting the answer—
"yes."
A simple, plain answer.
Gu Wanqing's heartbeat accelerated. She raised her hand and pressed her chest, secretly calling herself to calm down.
"Where did we meet? When did it happen?"
She asked anxiously for the second consecutive question.
Her memory is not bad, and her mind from childhood to adulthood is even more different from that of normal people, so she will remember all the big and small things from childhood to present.
But she didn't have the character Bai Jue in her memory, and she had never seen this casual face of Junya.
Bai Jue's lips were a little hesitant, and finally said, "You don't need to care about these."
If she hadn't remembered it herself, it would have no meaning.
If she forgot, he would accept it.
"But--"
"General, let's go."
He said, the breeze rose, his eyes were blurred, and his expression was as usual.
Gu Wanqing followed his footsteps, and their figures were like confused silhouettes on window paper, gradually disappearing on the lakeside.
...
At night, Gu Wanqing finished washing and headed to the study.
Gu's study was originally used by Gu Dongqi, but now he is no longer there, so Gu Wanqing moved all the books and letters related to official affairs to the study.
Xuan Ming summarized the recent situation in Longcheng and discussed it with Gu Wanqing for a long time.
At the third day of the day, Gu Wanqing fell on the bed, listless.
Xuan Ming was about to step down, Gu Wanqing asked, "Xuan Ming, how long have you been with me?"
"It's been ten years. Is the general testing my memory?" Xuan Ming laughed.
"Yes, it's been ten years..." Gu Wanqing asked thoughtfully, "Have you ever seen Bai Jue before?"
Xuan Ming shook his head, "How could he have seen him? He has always been mysterious. He was able to deal with him this time because of an accident."
"Then, was it before I was eight years old?..." Gu Wanqing murmured alone.
"What did the general say? Did Bai Jue ask about Gu's family?"
"No, he didn't ask anything. He didn't even mention Gu Xi."
Gu Wanqing has only understood one thing yet. If Bai Jue knew her before, then he would have done it on purpose.
He must have not really asked for a marriage.
But what was the purpose, she really couldn't even think about it.
Assuming that Bai Jue’s purpose is to let Gu Wanqing help him do things, then every step of analyzing this should be within Bai Jue’s plan from the beginning of capturing Ruohong.
So, did he calculate that she would be forced to assassinate him because of Sister Gu Xi’s affairs and then capture Ruohong as a hostage?
Gu Wanqing shuddered.
It's impossible! He can't calculate so accurately.
Besides, why can he guess her thoughts and actions?
"Damn it, hate it, hate it!"
Gu Wanqing covered her face with a pillow and rolled in trouble on the bed.
Xuan Ming was stunned and quickly pulled the door and stepped back.
The general must be exhausted recently!
