The prince loves me like his life, but I force him to rebel

Cen Yu stood up by holding the corner of the table. When he just stood up, the pain from the broken limb made his expression slightly distorted. This scene did not escape Shu Huaiyuan's eyes, and he quickly glanced at Cen Yu's legs.

If it was just a guess at the beginning, at this moment, he was almost completely sure that Cen Yu was the man in the wheelchair who tricked Gu Nianzhi into the moat during the explosion that day.

Cen Yu took out a brocade bag from his bosom and placed it solemnly in Gu Nianzhi's hand.

"Whether you are in Dasheng or Qiangyi, in Modong or Xichuan, as long as you are in danger, open the brocade bag. Even if it is not me who comes, there will definitely be someone to help you."

Gu Nianzhi held the brocade bag and glanced at Shu Huaiyuan secretly. Seeing that he did not stop her, she put the brocade bag into her pocket.

Cen Yu warned: "There is only one of these, you must use it when life and death are at stake."

"Yes. In that case, thank you very much."

After Cen Yu finished his instructions, he walked towards the door.

Shu Huaiyuan stretched out his hand to stop him: "Shouldn't you tell me something about trespassing into the military camp?"

"General Shu, I am just visiting a friend. You don't need to be so nervous."

Cen Yu used the back of his hand to brush Shu Huaiyuan's hand away. His expression did not change, and he did not seem to have used any strength. Shu Huaiyuan was caught off guard, and his arm, which was stretched across Cen Yu's front, was suddenly bounced away by the other party.

His expression changed.

The inner strength of the man in front of him was totally inconsistent with his scholarly appearance.

In Shu Huaiyuan's opinion, this man's internal strength can at least rank among the top three among those he has fought.

What’s even more terrifying is that Cen Yu doesn’t seem to have used all his strength yet.

Unfathomable.

This person is unfathomable.

"General Shu." Seeing that Shu Huaiyuan seemed to be trying to embarrass Cen Yu, Gu Nianzhi quickly stepped forward and stood in front of Cen Yu.

Cen Yu looked at Gu Nianzhi. This woman always stood in front of him like this, as if she wanted to be his protector. She was so overestimating herself.

But Cen Yu just likes her "overestimation of one's own abilities".

She is the only person in the world who will stand in front of me and protect me regardless of why or if I am right or wrong.

This "overestimation of one's own abilities" is so precious, and it is this "overestimation of one's own abilities" that makes Cen Yu have improper thoughts about her.

He did many things that went against his principles.

He was even willing to put aside goals that he could achieve immediately, for one reason only: he didn't want Gu Nianzhi to hate him too much.

It seems like it was all worth it.

Because now she is still willing to stand in front of him without hesitation.

"He is just an old friend of mine. He risked his life to come to the military camp because he was worried about my safety. I hope General Shu will let my friend leave in a dignified manner for my sake."

After saying that, Gu Nianzhi pulled Cen Yu's sleeve, placed himself between the two of them, and escorted Cen Yu out of the room.

"Don't come to see me again in the future." Gu Nianzhi walked to the door and couldn't help but remind him again.

"If I hadn't been busy, I would have stayed near the army, but I really..."

The two of them had walked some distance apart, and Cen Yu's words made Gu Nianzhi very nervous.

She knew that Cen Yu knew that she was a girl. She had read so many romance novels that even if she had never eaten pork, she had always seen pigs run. If she used her brain a little, she would know what Cen Yu's special love for her meant.

Although she didn't know the origin of Cen Yu's rootless love, she was very clear that there was only one reason why a man was nice to a woman without any basis, and that was liking or loving her.

Gu Nianzhi has never been a woman who likes to pull strings. In her heart, love is love, and not love is not love. She hates the ambiguity between love and not love the most, and she doesn't like the feeling of not loving someone but not making it clear.

"I don't like you doing this to me. Cen Yu."

Gu Nianzhi felt that it was time to make things clear.

"Why?"

Cen Yu looked at Gu Nianzhi, and he seemed to have understood what Gu Nianzhi meant by these words. His expression became visibly gloomy.

Gu Nianzhi didn't dare to look him in the eye, so she had to look away, looking around aimlessly, avoiding Cen Yu's gaze.

"If you treat me like this out of love, I advise you to put that thought aside."

“Why put it away?”

"Because I already have someone I love, no matter how good you are to me, there is no possibility between us. You might as well get rid of the feelings you shouldn't have as soon as possible to avoid wasting your time."

Gu Nianzhi looked towards the crescent moon on the top of the mountain.

The moon today is definitely different from yesterday.

Even though the moon waxes and wanes, its changes follow certain rules, but this is not the case with human hearts.

People's minds always change so quickly and seemingly without any basis.

"The person you love now is my incompetent nephew Sima Yao?"

Cen Yu was unhappy and had a sarcastic look on his face. Although he had known for a long time that the relationship between Sima Yao and Gu Nianzhi was different from that of ordinary people, but now hearing Gu Nianzhi mention it in person, he still felt as uncomfortable as if an arrow had been shot in the heart.

If he had not promised Concubine De to keep her son safe, Cen Yu could have sent out his secret guards to kill Sima Yao. But now and even in the future, he could not do anything to Sima Yao because of Concubine De.

"In short, I don't even have ordinary friendship with you. That's all I have to say. Take care of yourselves."

"Since you are not special to me, why do you worry about my life and death again and again?" Cen Yu grabbed Gu Nianzhi who was about to leave. His wrist was very strong, causing Gu Nianzhi some pain.

Gu Nianzhi used all his strength, but Cen Yu's hands were like iron clamps and it was difficult to break free.

Gu Nianzhi looked at Cen Yu, and he seemed like a different person. The elegance that he once used to disguise himself had long since faded away, and his eyes were full of ruthlessness.

This kind of look frightened Gu Nianzhi for no reason.

Gu Nianzhi suddenly realized that there was a big deviation in his understanding of Cen Yu from the very beginning.

The lonely and desolate figure of Cen Yu sitting alone in a wheelchair by the lake was Gu Nianzhi's first impression of him, but that was not the real Cen Yu.

He was terrifyingly powerful.

Not only does he not need anyone's sympathy, on the contrary, his ambition can swallow up the world.

Gu Nianzhi suddenly became a little worried about what Cen Yu would do to Sima Yao.

She felt a little regretful about her direct refusal.

She began to consider how she could get out of this situation safely without completely angering Cen Yu.

"Tell me, why do you care about my life or death?"

Cen Yu's tone was more urgent than before, but his tone became slightly calmer.

He seemed to see Gu Nianzhi's fear, so he tried his best to adjust his attitude.

"I just acted subconsciously. It's not as complicated as you think." After saying that, Gu Nianzhi pressed Cen Yu's wrist with his other hand and asked softly, "Can you let go? Your hand is too strong and it hurts."

Cen Yu hurriedly let go of his hand, grabbed Gu Nianzhi's hand, and looked at the red circle on his wrist that he had pinched, feeling guilty.

"I subconsciously used force, but I didn't expect a girl's wrist to be so... so delicate."

Gu Nianzhi pulled his hand out of Cen Yu's and took a step back.

"Men and women should not touch each other, please respect yourself, Brother Cen."

After Gu Nianzhi finished speaking, he turned around and left without caring about Cen Yu's reaction.

Cen Yu did not get the answer he wanted. He was about to step forward to ask, when he saw Shu Huaiyuan holding a lantern and walking towards him with a group of people. It seemed that Gu Nianzhi had not returned to the camp for a long time, so he brought people to look for him.

In order to avoid too many people knowing his whereabouts, Cen Yu did not linger. He quickly reunited with the guards in the dark and disappeared into the night together.
