Tan Hua Floating Dream
Chapter 20 (1)
That day, Nangong Ci, who had been in the snow for a while, immediately fell ill as soon as he returned to Prince Xiang's Mansion, which shocked Zhao Xiang a lot.
The illness came like a mountain, and the illness went like a spinning thread. Because Zhao Xiang felt ashamed, he stayed in Prince Xiang's mansion to take care of him. Nangong Ci almost thought that he could go back to being cared for in the past, when the other party only had himself in his eyes.
But after a few days, he knew that all this was just a delusion. After a few days, he heard from the whispers of his servants that Zhao Xiang went to look for Marquis Changsheng again after his condition improved, but Marquis Changsheng didn't like to see Zhao very much. Xiang, after obtaining the emperor's acquiescence, let Zhao Xiang shut the door, but Zhao Xiang still did not give up.
Nangong Ci has been with him for these years, and he also understands Zhao Xiang's character to some extent. In addition, the recent series of situations made him think about it carefully, and he realized the inferior side of Zhao Xiang's character more deeply.
Zhao Xiang is a very typical person who the more he can't get the more he wants, but he doesn't feel how precious things are when they are in his hands. I lost it, but I couldn't restrain myself from wanting to get it back.
I never felt it when I was in a strong relationship before, but once the relationship is abnormal, the defect will continue to expand and become extremely obvious.
When listening to the young servant Mingxin groaning for her, Nangong Ci recalled in a trance that the day when she met Zhao Xiang for the first time in the temple, she originally accompanied her sister to ask about marriage, because that time The temple is said to be very effective in this regard, so my sister couldn't wait to find a good marriage, and let him ask for it by the way.
It's just that the brothers and sisters didn't draw any good lottery at that time, and the younger sister drew the lottery. The monk who unwrapped the lottery looked at it and said that the person she was thinking in her heart was not her beloved, and she would spend her whole life She didn't have a relationship with the person she liked, which made her look very ugly. If she hadn't been stopped by him, she might have lost her grace and yelled loudly.And what he drew was not a lottery, but to be honest, it wasn't a very good lottery.
At that time, the monk who solved the lottery looked at him again and again, and then told him after considering his words for a long time that although he did not sign the lottery, it was not a good lottery. Judging from the signed poem, he was destined to be childless and doomed. A life of ups and downs, although the bitterness will come in the future, but before the sweetness comes, his life will have ups and downs.
At that time, he and his sister were not in a good mood because they both got the lottery, so they didn't take it seriously, thinking that it must not work, but thinking about it now...
He suddenly wanted to go to that temple again, begging to see if he could bring some changes to his life.
Mingxin heard him say that he wanted to go to that temple. At first, of course, he said that he was not in good health and it was not suitable for him to go out, but he couldn't hold back his insistence, so he could only make arrangements for him. Before he left, he hesitated and asked him if he wanted to go. He asked if the prince would accompany him, but after hesitating for a while, he still shook his head slowly.
Although he was with Zhao Xiang, his treatment was not quite the same as Wen Qiufu's at the beginning. Wen Qiufu thought he was not a man's favorite but a lover, but the prince treated him like a man's favorite hidden in a deep courtyard. But it was a special pet who was put on the name from the beginning. I used to think that this meant that the prince didn't think he was shameful, but now...
He couldn't help but smile wryly in his heart, maybe it would be better if Wen Qiufu was hidden, instead of having nowhere to go like he is now.
※※※
That ancient temple is not too far from the capital city, it takes only half a day by carriage.When he stepped into the temple, the lottery-releasing monk in the main hall was still the same one at the beginning. He was taken aback when he saw him, and then said "Amitabha" like a sigh, then stepped aside without saying anything.
He stared blankly at the Buddha statue in front of him, knowing that the man would not flick his tears lightly, but he still wept silently, and asked the Buddha in his heart what was wrong with him to treat him like this.
"My son..."
Mingxin looked at him worriedly, but he just shook his head and said nothing, asking Mingxin to go out first.He wanted to be alone.
He asked for another lottery, and when he saw the sign on it, his whole body was as cold as ice, because that lottery was exactly the same as the one he and his sister had come here to ask for, and it was still the same bad sign .
What is this... telling him?He looked at the Buddha statue in a daze, with mixed feelings in his heart.
He didn't know how long he had been staring at the Buddha statue. He came back to his senses and wanted to take a walk in the temple, but he didn't see Mingxin when he left the main hall. After a moment of surprise, he thought that Mingxin might go to the latrine to relieve himself, and he also wanted to be alone. Being alone, he casually walked to the forest garden in the temple, staring at the misty white snow piled up on the black and brown branches.
He has always been like this recently, and when he looks at it, he will lose his mind and fall into the memory, thinking about how he met Zhao Xiang and how he fell in love with him, it seems that only in this way can he get rid of the emptiness and frustration of not having Zhao Xiang by his side disturbed.
When he was in a daze, a strange singing sound accompanied by an unprofessional piano sound suddenly caught his attention, as if there was a strange temptation that made him involuntarily follow the source of the sound.
It's strange because the song is soft but not like any tune, but the meaning of the words made him stop and listen attentively.
"...Because only the newcomers laugh, whoever hears the old ones cry, the word love, it's so hard. Do you have to ask to understand, or pretend to be confused, knowing more than knowing is difficult to be satisfied. Looks like a mandarin duck and butterfly, shouldn't The age of the world, but who can get rid of the sorrows of the world..."
Nangong Ci didn't know why, but felt that this strange song was like a sharp knife, severing open the wound that he thought he could pretend not to see, but it was actually festering, stirring back and forth in it, the pain was so painful that he couldn't speak talk.
Newcomers laugh, old people cry.
Isn't that exactly how I feel now?He wanted to pretend to be confused, but he couldn't.
Looking at the person who sang the strange song with tears in his eyes, he was shocked to find that it was Tang Tan, the Marquis of Longevity who was alone, who appeared here for some reason.
And that word... Nangong Ci felt that this moment was full of irony. Four years ago, he was the new person and Wen Qiufu was the old person, but now it was reversed. It's the new guy.
When he was dazed, Tang Tan's singing stopped abruptly, and he met his eyes.
Seeing those eyes that were still clear, Nangong Ci felt guilty for no reason, but when she entered the stage, she was full of jealousy welling up in her heart.
"Master Nangong?"
The other party's gentle and peaceful voice made him feel very complicated, and he couldn't help biting his lips. For a moment, he was quite annoyed and disgusted with this person, thinking that the other party's attitude was a posturing, imitating himself.
He must have resented that he snatched Zhao Xiang from him back then, and felt that he had to be like himself to get back Zhao Xiang, so he subconsciously imitated himself after amnesia?Her own personality combined with the appearance that Zhao Xiang had loved for many years...maybe it became the most perfect partner image in Zhao Xiang's mind.
"...Hou Ye." No matter how unwilling, Nangong Ci could only address him politely.
Tang Tan looked at Nangong Ci who was hesitant to speak, and just nodded to him, but didn't say anything more, because he didn't know what to say to Nangong Ci.It's not speculative, and it's too much, not to mention that the rival in love is extremely jealous... Although the rival in love only thinks one-sidedly.
"...Your Majesty, he...have you found Lord Hou again these few days?" Nangong Ci said in a sad tone, the tone full of boudoir resentment made Tang Tan tremble uncontrollably.
Is it necessary for a good big man to do this?For a person like that, Tang Tan didn't feel at all that the other party was worthy of being so desperate. In comparison, he felt that Nangong Yi's vision might be better, and he was looking for Gu Zhongyan.
"Mr. Nangong, I actually didn't meet your lord, that's why I avoided coming to this temple." Tang Tan sighed, expressing how much he didn't want to see Zhao Xiang, but this tone hurt Nangong Ci deeply. .
Tang Tan's troubled tone was heard in Nangong Ci's ears at this moment, as if he was showing off to him, ten years in the east of the river and ten years in the west of the river, although he was robbed of the prince's love at the beginning, but now the prince has not changed his mind and sticks to him. But he doesn't want it now.
It's like... It's like I'm just picking up something that the other party doesn't want but treating it as a treasure... That kind of feeling is as awkward as it is.
Why did the other party abandon what I longed for, and even snatch all Zhao Xiang's attention away?
"Are... are you taking revenge on me? Taking revenge on me for taking away the prince." Nangong Ci's face was ugly, as if he was about to cry, which made Tang Tan look at him in surprise, as if he was surprised that he would think so.
I don't understand why he made Nangong Ci think that he was taking revenge on the other party. He obviously tried very hard to avoid Zhao Xiang and Nangong Ci?
"Young Master Nangong, I don't understand what your so-called revenge is, but I really have no intentions towards the prince."
"Since it's not intentional, why do you want to imitate me even if you lose your memory? Don't you just want to change yourself so that you can win back the prince?"
Nangong Ci's tone was rare and sharp, which made Tang Tan realize suddenly. At the same time, he remembered that when he and Gu Zhongyan escorted Zhao Xu back to Beijing, and met Zhao Xiang for the first time on the way, Zhao Xiang also satirized him in a questioning tone to imitate Nangong Ci is useless.
He couldn't help muttering in his heart, what kind of pot should match what kind of lid, self-righteousness made him dizzy.
"Master Nangong thinks I'm imitating you?" Tang Tan asked with a chuckle after a while.
"Ben, it was... before you lost your memory... that impulsive personality."
Tang Tan shook his head lightly, looking at him with sympathy or pity, which made Nangong Ci feel uncomfortable.
"Mr. Nangong, I still advise you, that kind of man is not worthy of your heart and soul." Tang Tan said with a sigh, and he didn't want to speak ill of others, he could only express his opinion tactfully, he just felt like Nangong It's too wasteful for a docile little white rabbit like Ci to be paired with a scum like Zhao Xiang.
It's just that Nangong Ci's face changed drastically after hearing his words, and he looked at him with resentment and hostility.
"You really want me to leave the prince and sneak in, don't you?" Nangong Ci's indignation made Tang Tan feel dumbfounded, and finally shook his head with a sigh, and got up without further words.
He had already talked about this point, but Nangong Ci was still so obsessed with it, he couldn't believe that he had no intention of competing for King Xiang, nor having no intention of being with King Xiang.He couldn't say anything more. When a person has prejudice against another person, it's useless to say more.
"Why...why do you still appear in front of the prince...it would be fine if you didn't show up."
When Nangong Ci said this, tears were streaming down his cheeks. Tang Tan was amazed at the degree of crying as soon as he said it, but he also felt quite a headache, especially because the other party had completely misunderstood the point.
If he could, he wouldn't want to meet Zhao Xiang either!Why did he think that he had been living in seclusion for more than three years when he returned to the capital with Gu Zhongyan?Not just to avoid running into Zhao Xiang.He didn't know that if he traveled far away, he would save the emperor's life and even meet Zhao Xiang.
The feeling of being unreasonable and inexplicable made Tang Tan very dizzy. In his eyes, that calm and leisurely attitude was full of ridicule for some reason, and the feeling of being stimulated before became stronger and stronger.
He hates this person, and he really doesn't want the other person to disappear in front of himself and the prince, as long as the other person disappears...
"Be careful!"
Tang Tan felt that he had nothing to say to him, not to mention that he was not the one who was sorry for Nan Gongci, so he turned and left without thinking too much.It's just that he didn't expect that just as he was about to step out of the courtyard, two nervous male voices shouted. Before he had time to react, he was wrapped in the familiar warm embrace and turned around, and there was a collision sound in his ears.
what happened?He raised his head in astonishment to see Gu Zhongyan pursed his lips, looked down at him solemnly, and then looked over his shoulder to see Nangong Ci being beaten and fell to the ground, with a pale face spitting blood, and a face full of blood. The livid Zhao Xiang slapped him across the face.
"Ci'er, what are you doing? Are you crazy!" Zhao Xiang yelled angrily, while Nangong Ci just covered his face in disbelief, staring blankly at Zhao Xiang's furious face, speechless, his black eyes gradually stained. Dead silence.
Zhao Xiang hurriedly turned around to see if Tang Tan was safe and sound, but was obviously stunned when he saw him being hugged and protected by Gu Zhongyan.
Seeing Zhao Xiang appearing in front of him again, Tang Tan's first reaction was to be troubled, but before he opened his mouth, he realized that although Zhao Xiang's gaze was looking in his direction, it was not on him, so he stared in amazement. Looking at Gu Zhongyan's back, he seemed to see something that shocked him.
A fishy smell slid across the tip of his nose, and just now they yelled to be careful at the same time, Tang Tan's heart skipped a beat, with a bad premonition.
He stretched out his hand tremblingly, and touched Gu Zhongyan's back. As he expected, his fingertips were wet. He felt that his heartbeat seemed to stop, and panic flashed in his eyes.
"...Yan!" He looked at Gu Zhongyan's face in panic, but the man still calmly lowered his head and showed him a comforting smile.
"It's okay, don't worry."
nothing to worry about!Tang Tan slightly pushed him away, and looked behind Gu Zhongyan with his head, his face turned pale for a while.
On Gu Zhongyan's left shoulder, there was a silver hairpin, and almost half of the hairpin handle was submerged behind Gu Zhongyan's shoulder. At the junction of the hairpin and shoulder, the color of the silver hairpin could still be seen faintly.
There was a "buzz" in Tang Tan's head, he could hardly think, he was panicked and didn't know what to do.
"Yan... Zhongyan, don't scare me!" Tang Tan yelled helplessly, remembering that tears were about to fall.
How to do how to do?The position of the silver hairpin... won't hurt the heart, will it?
"Qiufu, let me help..."
Seeing that Gu Zhongyan was injured, Zhao Xiang's first reaction was to gloat, but seeing Tang Tan crying because of anxiety and fear, he felt very uncomfortable.First, he was annoyed that Tang Tan showed such an expression for other men, and then he rejoiced that the silver hairpin was not stuck on Tang Tan's body. With a flash of light in his eyes, he leaned towards them, but Tang Tan stared and shouted viciously. Rebuke.
"Go away, what do you want to do? Don't come here!" Tang Tan's angry red eyes were full of vigilance. The hatred and anger in his eyes were like the hairpin, piercing into Zhao Xiang's heart fiercely, making him freeze.
It was the first time that he was stared at with such sharp and hateful eyes, and that person was Tang Tan, and he suddenly felt as stiff and helpless as when he was scolded by his father when he was young.
"I just want to help..." Zhao Xiang said hoarsely, with a little guilt in his tone, he always felt as if he was being watched by the other party, and his underwear was wet with cold sweat.
"Help? Just don't be a waste of help, I don't care at all! If you hadn't pestered me, how could Zhongyan and I have encountered such a thing!"
Tang Tan's sharp and disgusting tone made Zhao Xiang, who was treated like this for the first time in his life, suddenly realize that Tang Tan's estrangement and impatience towards him these days was not just pretending, but that he really didn't want to see himself.
"Tan... Calm down, it's okay." Gu Zhongyan hugged him and kept comforting him, while quickly poking a few acupuncture points on himself to temporarily stop the bleeding, but his face still became very ugly.
"How can it be all right! You have bled so much, and the silver hairpin has changed color!" Tang Tan glared at Gu Zhongyan angrily, the man's pale face due to blood loss overlapped with Meng Chaoyin's dying appearance Together, it made Tang Tan even more frightened, fearing that he would lose the other party again.
"I can bear this little injury, let's go back to the wing." Gu Zhongyan held his hand, and could feel that Tang Tan's hand was colder than his wounded person.
Tang Tan nodded in panic and supported Gu Zhongyan. He knew that Gu Zhongyan was just holding on. Seeing Gu Zhongyan's eyelids gradually close, the tears in his eyes were like a faucet that couldn't be turned off. How can not stop.
Wei Yi and Wei Er came out to help Tang Tan first and helped Gu Zhongyan back to the room, with a very serious expression on his face.Wei Si, who had been following Tang Tan, was called away just now. He didn't expect Tang Tan to run into Nangong Ci just as soon as he lost his side. Originally, a powerless literati like Nan Gongci couldn't have done any harm. But he didn't expect that he would suddenly lose control of his emotions and attack Tang Tan.
Seeing that Gu Zhongyan rushed forward to block the hairpin for Tang Tan, they split up and asked the other hidden guards to find a doctor, and those who took the wound medicine to get the wound medicine, and then hurried back here to escort Gu Zhongyan Back to the wing.
"Qiufu, why is that guy worth your worry? Didn't you say you'll only like me forever?" Seeing that Tang Tan was about to leave before his eyes, Zhao Xiang grabbed his hand in a panic and asked.
He had a feeling that it was the first time he realized so profoundly after reuniting with the other party that he would completely lose this person who was once on the top of his heart but was abandoned by him.The other party no longer followed closely behind him like in the past, but let go of his hand completely, he could no longer hold the other party, this realization made him flustered.
Tang Tan looked at Zhao Xiang, took a deep breath, and his heart was full of disgust for this person.
"Prince Xiang, I'll just say this last time, I'm not Wen Qiufu, I don't like you and I don't love you, and your love is pitifully cheap, and your promises are worthless, and I don't care for your kind love , what I want is a couple for a lifetime, and you will never be able to give it in this lifetime.”
Tang Tan ridiculed that no matter how many promises he had made to Wen Qiufu and Nangong Ci, he had never fulfilled them, and his credit had already gone bankrupt.
It was the first time someone blamed him so bluntly, Zhao Xiang stared at him stiffly, even if Tang Tan pushed his hand away and turned to leave, he didn't make any move.
Nangong Ci has been looking at them for a long time. After hearing Tang Tan's anger towards Zhao Xiang, she began to shake her slender shoulders. First she smiled lightly, and then laughed madly and sadly, which made Zhao Xiang look around in astonishment. he.
Facing Shang Nangong Ci's desperate and mournful eyes, his heart skipped a beat.
"You..." Zhao Xiang didn't know what to say, she was a little ashamed of Nangong Ci in her heart, and also a little annoyed that she was seen by Nangong Ci with such a shameless appearance, and even secretly annoyed him in the bottom of her heart, thinking that if it wasn't for him being like this today Tang Tan won't hate himself if he makes a fuss.
After several times of hesitation, Zhao Xiang turned around and walked away without saying anything.
But just a few steps away from him, there was a chilling loud sound behind him, Zhao Xiang turned his head in a daze, almost stopped breathing.
Nangong Ci was lying on the side of the table, the edge of the emerald stone table and his forehead, glaring red blood slid down.
Tang Tan sat by the bed, looking at the pale Gu Zhongyan, his heart was very disturbed, afraid that he would lose this person again.
This man, how can the wound in his heart be said not to be serious?In order to reassure himself, he said it so easily, but when he closed his eyes, although he was still alive, he never woke up again.
Even though his injuries were treated properly by the hidden guards, he started to have a high fever that night. After the fever subsided, his condition did not worsen. The other party came to help Gu Zhongyan heal.
In this regard, the old Yixian seemed to have expected such a thing to happen, and soon, Tang Tan contacted the Yixian who happened to be stranded in Hangzhou Changsheng Medicine Store and invited him here.
Of course, he would also be very surprised that he could find him so quickly. You must know that it was this medical fairy who traveled all over the world at the beginning, and no one in the Changsheng Hou Mansion knew how to contact him except Tang Heng, the Changsheng Hou at that time. As an old man, because he delayed the best time to detoxify Tang Heng, he could only procrastinate like that in the end.
After learning about his problem, the Immortal Doctor told him with a wry smile that it was because he hadn't had time to heal the poison on Tang Heng's body that made him feel inexplicably guilty towards this apprentice, and he kept paying attention to the news of the Tang family all the time. Because this time he was able to catch up with the treatment of Gu Zhongyan in time.
When the Immortal Doctor saw Gu Zhongyan who was in a coma, he didn't particularly intend that Tang Tan would use the right to use the jade tablet on Gu Zhongguan, but just patted his head as if it was a pity.
But Tang Tan was very lucky to use the jade card to invite the other party, because the poison on Gu Zhongyan's body is not something that ordinary doctors can cure. The poison on Gu Zhongyan's body is quite rare, although it is not poisoned by Tang Heng. It is so fierce and intractable, but it is not without medicine, which is not difficult for medical immortals.
It's just strange to say that the poison was cured and the injury healed, but Gu Zhongyan didn't wake up for a long time and was in a coma all the time, which made Tang Tan quite nervous.But the Immortal Doctor just patted him on the shoulder, saying that Gu Zhongyan's body was in the process of self-healing, and he would wake up after he fully recovered, and left the Tang family to continue wandering after speaking.
And he has been quite busy these days. In addition to taking over the various property operations of the Tang family every day, he almost takes care of Gu Zhongyan without the hands of others, and moves all the documents that need to be corrected to the bedroom shared by a man. Please be able to notice Gu Zhongyan's situation as soon as possible.
The emperor was furious when he learned that Gu Zhongyan was stabbed by Nan Gongci and fell into a coma. Others may not know it, but he knew that Gu Zhongyan was his younger brother, and he was included in the genealogy.
Although nominally he had died long ago, he was still a member of the royal family anyway, and had saved his own life before. Zhao Xu had always been extremely guilty of Gu Zhongyan before, and after this incident happened, he completely stepped on his anger.
However, he couldn't order Nangong Ci to be killed. After all, there was Nangong Shangshu there. Gu Zhongyan's identity was only a domestic servant, and he couldn't kill the whole family for the reason of hurting the emperor's relatives. Secondly, Nangong Shangshu heard about this. He fell down after the incident, and he didn't know whether it was because of Nangong Ci's behavior, or because of the blow that Nangong Ci committed suicide by crashing into a stone table, especially because Zhao Xiang was the culprit of this mess.
In short, it is said that Chaoshang is in chaos every day, and the officials have remonstrated with Zhao Xiang again and again, which makes Zhao Xu quite dizzy.
But Tang Tan didn't care, he didn't hate Nangong Ci, because he felt that Nangong Ci was also a pitiful person who was driven to a dead end, and the worst was Zhao Xiang, so he only hoped that Zhao Xiang would never appear in front of him He didn't want to care about anyone in the other court who was implicated and fell because of this.
He only cares about when Gu Zhongyan can wake up, so apart from the various industrial affairs of the Tang family during this period, Tang Tan has never seen anyone who inquired about Gu Zhongyan's situation or came to speak for the Nangong family and King Xiangguan. .
"Why are you still awake..." Tang Tan looked at the peaceful sleeping face, feeling at a loss in his heart. Could it be that God is so cruel to him, and wants him to lose the same person twice in different time and space?
As long as Gu Zhongyan didn't wake up for a day, he couldn't feel at ease, he was afraid that Gu Zhongyan would be like Tang Heng, sleeping all day until the end of his life, or he would lose his breath in the next second.Day and night, I can't sleep peacefully, and people lose weight and haggard a lot because of this.
Sighing, Tang Tan picked up the half-carved jade beside the bed, and continued to carve Gu Zhongyan's face carefully, as if he was afraid that this person would really disappear, as if he really left him What was left before, but he paused after the engraving, staring at the jade carving in his hand in a daze, and after a long while, he let out a wry smile.
He himself can't tell whether the person he wants to engrave in his heart is Meng Chaoyin or Gu Zhongyan. The two have the same face, but because of the different growth environment and education they received, although they can be said to be exactly the same in appearance, but There are still slight differences in personality.
But at this moment, he couldn't tell whether it was Meng Chaoyin who was more or Gu Zhongyan more in his heart.
It is undeniable that at the beginning it was indeed because Gu Zhongyan had the same face as Meng Chaoyin that he had the idea of wanting to keep people by his side, but later, the two kept overlapping, the same and different Yes, but in the end, he could no longer tell who their habits belonged to in his memory.
He still hasn't forgotten Meng Chaoyin, his longing is only getting deeper and deeper, but the trace of Gu Zhongyan in his heart has never faded, and it is getting deeper and deeper, just like two streams converging and merging into a big river, and you can't tell you apart I.
The door was gently pushed open with a creak, Tang Tan turned his head and saw Tang Yao poking his head timidly, as if he wanted to come in but didn't dare to disturb him.
Compared with three years ago, the eight-year-old Tang Yao has grown a lot taller, but his round, white, tender and cute bun face is still quite blessed and pleasing, just like the beautiful boy Xiao Zhengtai in the comics, cute and soft, let Tang Tan see him Sometimes there is a feeling of being depressed and uncomfortable these days after being slightly cured.
"Brother? Can I come in?" Tang Yao said coyly, his well-behaved appearance made people feel affectionate.
Sometimes Tang Tan felt that this would not work, that Tang Yao was too pampered, and one day he would be too feminine like Nan Gongci, as if he needed someone to protect him.It is impossible for him and Gu Zhongyan to protect the child forever. If the old lady is gone, he will have the same accident as Gu Zhongyan this time... There is no absolutely impossible thing in the world.
Tang Tan put down the carving knife and waved to Tang Yao, Tang Yao immediately ran in with bright eyes, and was hugged by Tang Tan's thigh as soon as he stopped in front of Tang Tan.
"Uncle Gu...are you still awake?" He rubbed against Tang Tan habitually, then looked at the pale Gu Zhongyan on the bed, then at Tang Tan who was depressed and haggard, and asked in a low voice.
Tang Tan looked at Gu Zhongyan on the bed, showing a sad wry smile.
Why do I always look at his vulnerable side like this?Especially this time he blocked the thorn for himself, and he blamed himself more deeply than anyone else.
Seeing Tang Tan's dejected appearance, Tang Yao seemed to have made up his mind, and looked at Tang Tan seriously.
"Brother, I will work hard in the future, become very powerful, let me protect you and Uncle Gu!" Tang Tan was stunned by the childish promise, and then felt warm in his heart.
"Okay, brother will wait for Yao'er to protect us." Tang Tan responded with a smile and stroked Tang Yao's soft cheek, talking to him without saying a word.
After a while, Tang Yao leaned against his arms and fell asleep. Seeing that Tang Yao was in a deep sleep, Tang Tan summoned guards to send Tang Tan back to his room, while he lay wearily on the edge of the bed. Drowsily asleep.
He didn't know how long he had been asleep, but suddenly a feather-like stroke gently scratched his cheek, disturbing his restlessness.Frowning brows, he opened his eyes vaguely, met a pair of familiar quiet eyes, and suddenly froze, opened his mouth several times to call out to the other party but couldn't make a sound, he even wondered if he was thinking about it day and night , will dream that the other party wakes up.
I was looking forward to it too much, so I was afraid that this was just a dream.
The man looked at his hesitant and agitated expression, his eyes became deeper and deeper, and those calm eyes seemed to be loaded with more things than before.
"You... finally woke up..." Tang Tan bit his lower lip tightly, suppressing his inner excitement, and said with some difficulty.
He didn't really believe that the other party really woke up until he clearly felt the temperature of the other party's fingers touching his cheek.
The man seemed to have had enough touching, but he didn't withdraw his hand, and slowly evoked a rare and gentle smile, which made Tang Tan startled, as if he saw Meng Chaoyin smiling at him.
"Well, I'm back, Ah Tan."
In just a few words, Tang Tan was blown up like an atomic bomb, unable to move.
The final chapter
Hearing his words, Tang Tan's only reaction was to stare wide-eyed, staring blankly at Gu Zhongyan, not knowing how to react, after the initial shock, it was doubt and disbelief, and some close Nostalgic timid mood.
He really wanted to know if it was what he thought it was, but he was afraid that it was just his delusion, so he could only look at the other person stupidly and didn't know how to react.
"Why are you so stupid? Huh? You lost a lot of weight. Didn't you promise that I would take good care of myself? Why are you still so uneasy?"
It was different from the usual Gu Zhongyan, a little less restrained but more gentle and caring, directly poking at the most vulnerable part of Tang Tan's heart.
He immediately felt a sore nose, and his eye sockets turned red quickly, and he almost cried out of control, just like in that life, when he heard Meng Chaoyin confess his last words, his emotions collapsed, and tears rolled down like broken pearls.
He felt as if there was a string in his heart that had been tense since Meng Chaoyin passed away, and it suddenly loosened. The uneasiness that Yan felt after being injured was all vented at once.
"I'm sorry for making you worry and sad." The man propped himself up and gently hugged him into his arms, but his apology seemed to contain many other intentions.
This apology, not only did not stop Tang Tan from crying, on the contrary, he cried even more like a spring, like a child, which made the man feel extremely distressed.
And the hidden guards who had been guarding outside the room heard Tang Tan's cry, thought something happened to Gu Zhongyan, and rushed to the door and window one after another, but when they saw Gu Zhongyan wake up and caress Tang Tan in his arms, , They were also stunned.
The man looked up at the hidden guards with silly faces, waved to them and made a "retreat" gesture, and then they came back to their senses and retreated suddenly, and closed the doors and windows for the two of them thoughtfully.
He raised his hand again, and the gauze curtains on both sides of the bed fell down to cover the inside of the bed. Then he lowered his head and kissed Tang Tan's eyes, coaxing him tenderly and lovingly.
Tang Tan was tired from crying, and the tension he had been holding on for the past few days finally relaxed, and he felt tired all over his head. He almost fell asleep in the man's arms like this, but the question in his heart was getting bigger and bigger. Unsolved, he didn't want to just leave like this, so he grabbed the other party's skirt with some anxiety, and rarely stammered.
"That... you... now what the hell..."
Tang Tan's expression was slightly dazed, as if he was about to fall asleep but wanted to know the answer. In fact, the questions were not clear.And he actually didn't dare to ask too clearly, fearing that if he thought too much, such a question would cause the man to misunderstand, but the man seemed to know what he was going to ask, and kissed his forehead and lips comfortingly.
"Go to sleep, if you have anything to say, we'll talk about it when you wake up." The man said in a doting tone.
Under the hug full of his breath, Tang Tan fell into a deep sleep again.
After he fell asleep completely, the man put him down, moved his sleepy body, stood up and sank down, stood in the middle of the room and looked around the room for a long time, and the corners of his mouth formed a happy smile. smile marks.
He turned around and walked to the Baina cabinet next to him, took out Tang Tanzang from the bottom of the cabinet and put it in a box, then returned to the bedside, opened the box lid and took out the stack of portraits, his eyes became softer the more he looked.What I didn't understand and couldn't figure out before, I now understand.
He was a little thankful that he had never questioned Tang Tan about the existence of these paintings, because Tang Tan might not be able to answer his question, and there would be a grudge between the two of them.
"Little fool..." The man murmured whether it was distressing or pampering and tolerant, and he sighed softly for his lover's persistence and foolishness.
The man called Wei Yi, and he learned that he had been in a coma for a month and a half, and enough things could happen in this month and a half.
There are few major events than the assassination of Nangong Ci, who slammed into the table and committed suicide, but he became a wooden doll who said nothing, cried or laughed, and had no emotions. No one paid attention to him. Waiting, but I will never be happy or sad because of Zhao Xiang.
Knowing that her son is considered useless in this way, Nangong Shangshu can't afford to be sick, and Nangong Shangshu can't afford to be sick again. Mrs. Nangong also sadly asks another Shangshu to submit Nangong Shangshu's request to become an official, but the emperor temporarily put it on hold. up.
As for the chief culprit, Zhao Xiang, because of the emperor's wrath, Zhao Xu angrily reprimanded him for depriving him of his status as a prince and downgrading him to the rank of county king.
For the emperor's treatment, Zhao Xiang was quite unwilling at first, but after the emperor stayed in the imperial study for an hour, he silently withdrew, and then no longer complained about Zhao Xu's various treatment, and finally took Nangong Ci left the capital.
The dark guard said that Zhao Xu told Zhao Xiang his real identity, and Gu Zhongyan didn't say anything more about it.
Although Zhao Xiang seemed to be entangled with Wen Qiufu because he had no more affection for him, it didn't mean that he had no affection for Nangong Ci, especially in the face of Nangong Ci's decisive attitude, and Tang Tan's last words, which made him realize that yourself past and present, whether
The illness came like a mountain, and the illness went like a spinning thread. Because Zhao Xiang felt ashamed, he stayed in Prince Xiang's mansion to take care of him. Nangong Ci almost thought that he could go back to being cared for in the past, when the other party only had himself in his eyes.
But after a few days, he knew that all this was just a delusion. After a few days, he heard from the whispers of his servants that Zhao Xiang went to look for Marquis Changsheng again after his condition improved, but Marquis Changsheng didn't like to see Zhao very much. Xiang, after obtaining the emperor's acquiescence, let Zhao Xiang shut the door, but Zhao Xiang still did not give up.
Nangong Ci has been with him for these years, and he also understands Zhao Xiang's character to some extent. In addition, the recent series of situations made him think about it carefully, and he realized the inferior side of Zhao Xiang's character more deeply.
Zhao Xiang is a very typical person who the more he can't get the more he wants, but he doesn't feel how precious things are when they are in his hands. I lost it, but I couldn't restrain myself from wanting to get it back.
I never felt it when I was in a strong relationship before, but once the relationship is abnormal, the defect will continue to expand and become extremely obvious.
When listening to the young servant Mingxin groaning for her, Nangong Ci recalled in a trance that the day when she met Zhao Xiang for the first time in the temple, she originally accompanied her sister to ask about marriage, because that time The temple is said to be very effective in this regard, so my sister couldn't wait to find a good marriage, and let him ask for it by the way.
It's just that the brothers and sisters didn't draw any good lottery at that time, and the younger sister drew the lottery. The monk who unwrapped the lottery looked at it and said that the person she was thinking in her heart was not her beloved, and she would spend her whole life She didn't have a relationship with the person she liked, which made her look very ugly. If she hadn't been stopped by him, she might have lost her grace and yelled loudly.And what he drew was not a lottery, but to be honest, it wasn't a very good lottery.
At that time, the monk who solved the lottery looked at him again and again, and then told him after considering his words for a long time that although he did not sign the lottery, it was not a good lottery. Judging from the signed poem, he was destined to be childless and doomed. A life of ups and downs, although the bitterness will come in the future, but before the sweetness comes, his life will have ups and downs.
At that time, he and his sister were not in a good mood because they both got the lottery, so they didn't take it seriously, thinking that it must not work, but thinking about it now...
He suddenly wanted to go to that temple again, begging to see if he could bring some changes to his life.
Mingxin heard him say that he wanted to go to that temple. At first, of course, he said that he was not in good health and it was not suitable for him to go out, but he couldn't hold back his insistence, so he could only make arrangements for him. Before he left, he hesitated and asked him if he wanted to go. He asked if the prince would accompany him, but after hesitating for a while, he still shook his head slowly.
Although he was with Zhao Xiang, his treatment was not quite the same as Wen Qiufu's at the beginning. Wen Qiufu thought he was not a man's favorite but a lover, but the prince treated him like a man's favorite hidden in a deep courtyard. But it was a special pet who was put on the name from the beginning. I used to think that this meant that the prince didn't think he was shameful, but now...
He couldn't help but smile wryly in his heart, maybe it would be better if Wen Qiufu was hidden, instead of having nowhere to go like he is now.
※※※
That ancient temple is not too far from the capital city, it takes only half a day by carriage.When he stepped into the temple, the lottery-releasing monk in the main hall was still the same one at the beginning. He was taken aback when he saw him, and then said "Amitabha" like a sigh, then stepped aside without saying anything.
He stared blankly at the Buddha statue in front of him, knowing that the man would not flick his tears lightly, but he still wept silently, and asked the Buddha in his heart what was wrong with him to treat him like this.
"My son..."
Mingxin looked at him worriedly, but he just shook his head and said nothing, asking Mingxin to go out first.He wanted to be alone.
He asked for another lottery, and when he saw the sign on it, his whole body was as cold as ice, because that lottery was exactly the same as the one he and his sister had come here to ask for, and it was still the same bad sign .
What is this... telling him?He looked at the Buddha statue in a daze, with mixed feelings in his heart.
He didn't know how long he had been staring at the Buddha statue. He came back to his senses and wanted to take a walk in the temple, but he didn't see Mingxin when he left the main hall. After a moment of surprise, he thought that Mingxin might go to the latrine to relieve himself, and he also wanted to be alone. Being alone, he casually walked to the forest garden in the temple, staring at the misty white snow piled up on the black and brown branches.
He has always been like this recently, and when he looks at it, he will lose his mind and fall into the memory, thinking about how he met Zhao Xiang and how he fell in love with him, it seems that only in this way can he get rid of the emptiness and frustration of not having Zhao Xiang by his side disturbed.
When he was in a daze, a strange singing sound accompanied by an unprofessional piano sound suddenly caught his attention, as if there was a strange temptation that made him involuntarily follow the source of the sound.
It's strange because the song is soft but not like any tune, but the meaning of the words made him stop and listen attentively.
"...Because only the newcomers laugh, whoever hears the old ones cry, the word love, it's so hard. Do you have to ask to understand, or pretend to be confused, knowing more than knowing is difficult to be satisfied. Looks like a mandarin duck and butterfly, shouldn't The age of the world, but who can get rid of the sorrows of the world..."
Nangong Ci didn't know why, but felt that this strange song was like a sharp knife, severing open the wound that he thought he could pretend not to see, but it was actually festering, stirring back and forth in it, the pain was so painful that he couldn't speak talk.
Newcomers laugh, old people cry.
Isn't that exactly how I feel now?He wanted to pretend to be confused, but he couldn't.
Looking at the person who sang the strange song with tears in his eyes, he was shocked to find that it was Tang Tan, the Marquis of Longevity who was alone, who appeared here for some reason.
And that word... Nangong Ci felt that this moment was full of irony. Four years ago, he was the new person and Wen Qiufu was the old person, but now it was reversed. It's the new guy.
When he was dazed, Tang Tan's singing stopped abruptly, and he met his eyes.
Seeing those eyes that were still clear, Nangong Ci felt guilty for no reason, but when she entered the stage, she was full of jealousy welling up in her heart.
"Master Nangong?"
The other party's gentle and peaceful voice made him feel very complicated, and he couldn't help biting his lips. For a moment, he was quite annoyed and disgusted with this person, thinking that the other party's attitude was a posturing, imitating himself.
He must have resented that he snatched Zhao Xiang from him back then, and felt that he had to be like himself to get back Zhao Xiang, so he subconsciously imitated himself after amnesia?Her own personality combined with the appearance that Zhao Xiang had loved for many years...maybe it became the most perfect partner image in Zhao Xiang's mind.
"...Hou Ye." No matter how unwilling, Nangong Ci could only address him politely.
Tang Tan looked at Nangong Ci who was hesitant to speak, and just nodded to him, but didn't say anything more, because he didn't know what to say to Nangong Ci.It's not speculative, and it's too much, not to mention that the rival in love is extremely jealous... Although the rival in love only thinks one-sidedly.
"...Your Majesty, he...have you found Lord Hou again these few days?" Nangong Ci said in a sad tone, the tone full of boudoir resentment made Tang Tan tremble uncontrollably.
Is it necessary for a good big man to do this?For a person like that, Tang Tan didn't feel at all that the other party was worthy of being so desperate. In comparison, he felt that Nangong Yi's vision might be better, and he was looking for Gu Zhongyan.
"Mr. Nangong, I actually didn't meet your lord, that's why I avoided coming to this temple." Tang Tan sighed, expressing how much he didn't want to see Zhao Xiang, but this tone hurt Nangong Ci deeply. .
Tang Tan's troubled tone was heard in Nangong Ci's ears at this moment, as if he was showing off to him, ten years in the east of the river and ten years in the west of the river, although he was robbed of the prince's love at the beginning, but now the prince has not changed his mind and sticks to him. But he doesn't want it now.
It's like... It's like I'm just picking up something that the other party doesn't want but treating it as a treasure... That kind of feeling is as awkward as it is.
Why did the other party abandon what I longed for, and even snatch all Zhao Xiang's attention away?
"Are... are you taking revenge on me? Taking revenge on me for taking away the prince." Nangong Ci's face was ugly, as if he was about to cry, which made Tang Tan look at him in surprise, as if he was surprised that he would think so.
I don't understand why he made Nangong Ci think that he was taking revenge on the other party. He obviously tried very hard to avoid Zhao Xiang and Nangong Ci?
"Young Master Nangong, I don't understand what your so-called revenge is, but I really have no intentions towards the prince."
"Since it's not intentional, why do you want to imitate me even if you lose your memory? Don't you just want to change yourself so that you can win back the prince?"
Nangong Ci's tone was rare and sharp, which made Tang Tan realize suddenly. At the same time, he remembered that when he and Gu Zhongyan escorted Zhao Xu back to Beijing, and met Zhao Xiang for the first time on the way, Zhao Xiang also satirized him in a questioning tone to imitate Nangong Ci is useless.
He couldn't help muttering in his heart, what kind of pot should match what kind of lid, self-righteousness made him dizzy.
"Master Nangong thinks I'm imitating you?" Tang Tan asked with a chuckle after a while.
"Ben, it was... before you lost your memory... that impulsive personality."
Tang Tan shook his head lightly, looking at him with sympathy or pity, which made Nangong Ci feel uncomfortable.
"Mr. Nangong, I still advise you, that kind of man is not worthy of your heart and soul." Tang Tan said with a sigh, and he didn't want to speak ill of others, he could only express his opinion tactfully, he just felt like Nangong It's too wasteful for a docile little white rabbit like Ci to be paired with a scum like Zhao Xiang.
It's just that Nangong Ci's face changed drastically after hearing his words, and he looked at him with resentment and hostility.
"You really want me to leave the prince and sneak in, don't you?" Nangong Ci's indignation made Tang Tan feel dumbfounded, and finally shook his head with a sigh, and got up without further words.
He had already talked about this point, but Nangong Ci was still so obsessed with it, he couldn't believe that he had no intention of competing for King Xiang, nor having no intention of being with King Xiang.He couldn't say anything more. When a person has prejudice against another person, it's useless to say more.
"Why...why do you still appear in front of the prince...it would be fine if you didn't show up."
When Nangong Ci said this, tears were streaming down his cheeks. Tang Tan was amazed at the degree of crying as soon as he said it, but he also felt quite a headache, especially because the other party had completely misunderstood the point.
If he could, he wouldn't want to meet Zhao Xiang either!Why did he think that he had been living in seclusion for more than three years when he returned to the capital with Gu Zhongyan?Not just to avoid running into Zhao Xiang.He didn't know that if he traveled far away, he would save the emperor's life and even meet Zhao Xiang.
The feeling of being unreasonable and inexplicable made Tang Tan very dizzy. In his eyes, that calm and leisurely attitude was full of ridicule for some reason, and the feeling of being stimulated before became stronger and stronger.
He hates this person, and he really doesn't want the other person to disappear in front of himself and the prince, as long as the other person disappears...
"Be careful!"
Tang Tan felt that he had nothing to say to him, not to mention that he was not the one who was sorry for Nan Gongci, so he turned and left without thinking too much.It's just that he didn't expect that just as he was about to step out of the courtyard, two nervous male voices shouted. Before he had time to react, he was wrapped in the familiar warm embrace and turned around, and there was a collision sound in his ears.
what happened?He raised his head in astonishment to see Gu Zhongyan pursed his lips, looked down at him solemnly, and then looked over his shoulder to see Nangong Ci being beaten and fell to the ground, with a pale face spitting blood, and a face full of blood. The livid Zhao Xiang slapped him across the face.
"Ci'er, what are you doing? Are you crazy!" Zhao Xiang yelled angrily, while Nangong Ci just covered his face in disbelief, staring blankly at Zhao Xiang's furious face, speechless, his black eyes gradually stained. Dead silence.
Zhao Xiang hurriedly turned around to see if Tang Tan was safe and sound, but was obviously stunned when he saw him being hugged and protected by Gu Zhongyan.
Seeing Zhao Xiang appearing in front of him again, Tang Tan's first reaction was to be troubled, but before he opened his mouth, he realized that although Zhao Xiang's gaze was looking in his direction, it was not on him, so he stared in amazement. Looking at Gu Zhongyan's back, he seemed to see something that shocked him.
A fishy smell slid across the tip of his nose, and just now they yelled to be careful at the same time, Tang Tan's heart skipped a beat, with a bad premonition.
He stretched out his hand tremblingly, and touched Gu Zhongyan's back. As he expected, his fingertips were wet. He felt that his heartbeat seemed to stop, and panic flashed in his eyes.
"...Yan!" He looked at Gu Zhongyan's face in panic, but the man still calmly lowered his head and showed him a comforting smile.
"It's okay, don't worry."
nothing to worry about!Tang Tan slightly pushed him away, and looked behind Gu Zhongyan with his head, his face turned pale for a while.
On Gu Zhongyan's left shoulder, there was a silver hairpin, and almost half of the hairpin handle was submerged behind Gu Zhongyan's shoulder. At the junction of the hairpin and shoulder, the color of the silver hairpin could still be seen faintly.
There was a "buzz" in Tang Tan's head, he could hardly think, he was panicked and didn't know what to do.
"Yan... Zhongyan, don't scare me!" Tang Tan yelled helplessly, remembering that tears were about to fall.
How to do how to do?The position of the silver hairpin... won't hurt the heart, will it?
"Qiufu, let me help..."
Seeing that Gu Zhongyan was injured, Zhao Xiang's first reaction was to gloat, but seeing Tang Tan crying because of anxiety and fear, he felt very uncomfortable.First, he was annoyed that Tang Tan showed such an expression for other men, and then he rejoiced that the silver hairpin was not stuck on Tang Tan's body. With a flash of light in his eyes, he leaned towards them, but Tang Tan stared and shouted viciously. Rebuke.
"Go away, what do you want to do? Don't come here!" Tang Tan's angry red eyes were full of vigilance. The hatred and anger in his eyes were like the hairpin, piercing into Zhao Xiang's heart fiercely, making him freeze.
It was the first time that he was stared at with such sharp and hateful eyes, and that person was Tang Tan, and he suddenly felt as stiff and helpless as when he was scolded by his father when he was young.
"I just want to help..." Zhao Xiang said hoarsely, with a little guilt in his tone, he always felt as if he was being watched by the other party, and his underwear was wet with cold sweat.
"Help? Just don't be a waste of help, I don't care at all! If you hadn't pestered me, how could Zhongyan and I have encountered such a thing!"
Tang Tan's sharp and disgusting tone made Zhao Xiang, who was treated like this for the first time in his life, suddenly realize that Tang Tan's estrangement and impatience towards him these days was not just pretending, but that he really didn't want to see himself.
"Tan... Calm down, it's okay." Gu Zhongyan hugged him and kept comforting him, while quickly poking a few acupuncture points on himself to temporarily stop the bleeding, but his face still became very ugly.
"How can it be all right! You have bled so much, and the silver hairpin has changed color!" Tang Tan glared at Gu Zhongyan angrily, the man's pale face due to blood loss overlapped with Meng Chaoyin's dying appearance Together, it made Tang Tan even more frightened, fearing that he would lose the other party again.
"I can bear this little injury, let's go back to the wing." Gu Zhongyan held his hand, and could feel that Tang Tan's hand was colder than his wounded person.
Tang Tan nodded in panic and supported Gu Zhongyan. He knew that Gu Zhongyan was just holding on. Seeing Gu Zhongyan's eyelids gradually close, the tears in his eyes were like a faucet that couldn't be turned off. How can not stop.
Wei Yi and Wei Er came out to help Tang Tan first and helped Gu Zhongyan back to the room, with a very serious expression on his face.Wei Si, who had been following Tang Tan, was called away just now. He didn't expect Tang Tan to run into Nangong Ci just as soon as he lost his side. Originally, a powerless literati like Nan Gongci couldn't have done any harm. But he didn't expect that he would suddenly lose control of his emotions and attack Tang Tan.
Seeing that Gu Zhongyan rushed forward to block the hairpin for Tang Tan, they split up and asked the other hidden guards to find a doctor, and those who took the wound medicine to get the wound medicine, and then hurried back here to escort Gu Zhongyan Back to the wing.
"Qiufu, why is that guy worth your worry? Didn't you say you'll only like me forever?" Seeing that Tang Tan was about to leave before his eyes, Zhao Xiang grabbed his hand in a panic and asked.
He had a feeling that it was the first time he realized so profoundly after reuniting with the other party that he would completely lose this person who was once on the top of his heart but was abandoned by him.The other party no longer followed closely behind him like in the past, but let go of his hand completely, he could no longer hold the other party, this realization made him flustered.
Tang Tan looked at Zhao Xiang, took a deep breath, and his heart was full of disgust for this person.
"Prince Xiang, I'll just say this last time, I'm not Wen Qiufu, I don't like you and I don't love you, and your love is pitifully cheap, and your promises are worthless, and I don't care for your kind love , what I want is a couple for a lifetime, and you will never be able to give it in this lifetime.”
Tang Tan ridiculed that no matter how many promises he had made to Wen Qiufu and Nangong Ci, he had never fulfilled them, and his credit had already gone bankrupt.
It was the first time someone blamed him so bluntly, Zhao Xiang stared at him stiffly, even if Tang Tan pushed his hand away and turned to leave, he didn't make any move.
Nangong Ci has been looking at them for a long time. After hearing Tang Tan's anger towards Zhao Xiang, she began to shake her slender shoulders. First she smiled lightly, and then laughed madly and sadly, which made Zhao Xiang look around in astonishment. he.
Facing Shang Nangong Ci's desperate and mournful eyes, his heart skipped a beat.
"You..." Zhao Xiang didn't know what to say, she was a little ashamed of Nangong Ci in her heart, and also a little annoyed that she was seen by Nangong Ci with such a shameless appearance, and even secretly annoyed him in the bottom of her heart, thinking that if it wasn't for him being like this today Tang Tan won't hate himself if he makes a fuss.
After several times of hesitation, Zhao Xiang turned around and walked away without saying anything.
But just a few steps away from him, there was a chilling loud sound behind him, Zhao Xiang turned his head in a daze, almost stopped breathing.
Nangong Ci was lying on the side of the table, the edge of the emerald stone table and his forehead, glaring red blood slid down.
Tang Tan sat by the bed, looking at the pale Gu Zhongyan, his heart was very disturbed, afraid that he would lose this person again.
This man, how can the wound in his heart be said not to be serious?In order to reassure himself, he said it so easily, but when he closed his eyes, although he was still alive, he never woke up again.
Even though his injuries were treated properly by the hidden guards, he started to have a high fever that night. After the fever subsided, his condition did not worsen. The other party came to help Gu Zhongyan heal.
In this regard, the old Yixian seemed to have expected such a thing to happen, and soon, Tang Tan contacted the Yixian who happened to be stranded in Hangzhou Changsheng Medicine Store and invited him here.
Of course, he would also be very surprised that he could find him so quickly. You must know that it was this medical fairy who traveled all over the world at the beginning, and no one in the Changsheng Hou Mansion knew how to contact him except Tang Heng, the Changsheng Hou at that time. As an old man, because he delayed the best time to detoxify Tang Heng, he could only procrastinate like that in the end.
After learning about his problem, the Immortal Doctor told him with a wry smile that it was because he hadn't had time to heal the poison on Tang Heng's body that made him feel inexplicably guilty towards this apprentice, and he kept paying attention to the news of the Tang family all the time. Because this time he was able to catch up with the treatment of Gu Zhongyan in time.
When the Immortal Doctor saw Gu Zhongyan who was in a coma, he didn't particularly intend that Tang Tan would use the right to use the jade tablet on Gu Zhongguan, but just patted his head as if it was a pity.
But Tang Tan was very lucky to use the jade card to invite the other party, because the poison on Gu Zhongyan's body is not something that ordinary doctors can cure. The poison on Gu Zhongyan's body is quite rare, although it is not poisoned by Tang Heng. It is so fierce and intractable, but it is not without medicine, which is not difficult for medical immortals.
It's just strange to say that the poison was cured and the injury healed, but Gu Zhongyan didn't wake up for a long time and was in a coma all the time, which made Tang Tan quite nervous.But the Immortal Doctor just patted him on the shoulder, saying that Gu Zhongyan's body was in the process of self-healing, and he would wake up after he fully recovered, and left the Tang family to continue wandering after speaking.
And he has been quite busy these days. In addition to taking over the various property operations of the Tang family every day, he almost takes care of Gu Zhongyan without the hands of others, and moves all the documents that need to be corrected to the bedroom shared by a man. Please be able to notice Gu Zhongyan's situation as soon as possible.
The emperor was furious when he learned that Gu Zhongyan was stabbed by Nan Gongci and fell into a coma. Others may not know it, but he knew that Gu Zhongyan was his younger brother, and he was included in the genealogy.
Although nominally he had died long ago, he was still a member of the royal family anyway, and had saved his own life before. Zhao Xu had always been extremely guilty of Gu Zhongyan before, and after this incident happened, he completely stepped on his anger.
However, he couldn't order Nangong Ci to be killed. After all, there was Nangong Shangshu there. Gu Zhongyan's identity was only a domestic servant, and he couldn't kill the whole family for the reason of hurting the emperor's relatives. Secondly, Nangong Shangshu heard about this. He fell down after the incident, and he didn't know whether it was because of Nangong Ci's behavior, or because of the blow that Nangong Ci committed suicide by crashing into a stone table, especially because Zhao Xiang was the culprit of this mess.
In short, it is said that Chaoshang is in chaos every day, and the officials have remonstrated with Zhao Xiang again and again, which makes Zhao Xu quite dizzy.
But Tang Tan didn't care, he didn't hate Nangong Ci, because he felt that Nangong Ci was also a pitiful person who was driven to a dead end, and the worst was Zhao Xiang, so he only hoped that Zhao Xiang would never appear in front of him He didn't want to care about anyone in the other court who was implicated and fell because of this.
He only cares about when Gu Zhongyan can wake up, so apart from the various industrial affairs of the Tang family during this period, Tang Tan has never seen anyone who inquired about Gu Zhongyan's situation or came to speak for the Nangong family and King Xiangguan. .
"Why are you still awake..." Tang Tan looked at the peaceful sleeping face, feeling at a loss in his heart. Could it be that God is so cruel to him, and wants him to lose the same person twice in different time and space?
As long as Gu Zhongyan didn't wake up for a day, he couldn't feel at ease, he was afraid that Gu Zhongyan would be like Tang Heng, sleeping all day until the end of his life, or he would lose his breath in the next second.Day and night, I can't sleep peacefully, and people lose weight and haggard a lot because of this.
Sighing, Tang Tan picked up the half-carved jade beside the bed, and continued to carve Gu Zhongyan's face carefully, as if he was afraid that this person would really disappear, as if he really left him What was left before, but he paused after the engraving, staring at the jade carving in his hand in a daze, and after a long while, he let out a wry smile.
He himself can't tell whether the person he wants to engrave in his heart is Meng Chaoyin or Gu Zhongyan. The two have the same face, but because of the different growth environment and education they received, although they can be said to be exactly the same in appearance, but There are still slight differences in personality.
But at this moment, he couldn't tell whether it was Meng Chaoyin who was more or Gu Zhongyan more in his heart.
It is undeniable that at the beginning it was indeed because Gu Zhongyan had the same face as Meng Chaoyin that he had the idea of wanting to keep people by his side, but later, the two kept overlapping, the same and different Yes, but in the end, he could no longer tell who their habits belonged to in his memory.
He still hasn't forgotten Meng Chaoyin, his longing is only getting deeper and deeper, but the trace of Gu Zhongyan in his heart has never faded, and it is getting deeper and deeper, just like two streams converging and merging into a big river, and you can't tell you apart I.
The door was gently pushed open with a creak, Tang Tan turned his head and saw Tang Yao poking his head timidly, as if he wanted to come in but didn't dare to disturb him.
Compared with three years ago, the eight-year-old Tang Yao has grown a lot taller, but his round, white, tender and cute bun face is still quite blessed and pleasing, just like the beautiful boy Xiao Zhengtai in the comics, cute and soft, let Tang Tan see him Sometimes there is a feeling of being depressed and uncomfortable these days after being slightly cured.
"Brother? Can I come in?" Tang Yao said coyly, his well-behaved appearance made people feel affectionate.
Sometimes Tang Tan felt that this would not work, that Tang Yao was too pampered, and one day he would be too feminine like Nan Gongci, as if he needed someone to protect him.It is impossible for him and Gu Zhongyan to protect the child forever. If the old lady is gone, he will have the same accident as Gu Zhongyan this time... There is no absolutely impossible thing in the world.
Tang Tan put down the carving knife and waved to Tang Yao, Tang Yao immediately ran in with bright eyes, and was hugged by Tang Tan's thigh as soon as he stopped in front of Tang Tan.
"Uncle Gu...are you still awake?" He rubbed against Tang Tan habitually, then looked at the pale Gu Zhongyan on the bed, then at Tang Tan who was depressed and haggard, and asked in a low voice.
Tang Tan looked at Gu Zhongyan on the bed, showing a sad wry smile.
Why do I always look at his vulnerable side like this?Especially this time he blocked the thorn for himself, and he blamed himself more deeply than anyone else.
Seeing Tang Tan's dejected appearance, Tang Yao seemed to have made up his mind, and looked at Tang Tan seriously.
"Brother, I will work hard in the future, become very powerful, let me protect you and Uncle Gu!" Tang Tan was stunned by the childish promise, and then felt warm in his heart.
"Okay, brother will wait for Yao'er to protect us." Tang Tan responded with a smile and stroked Tang Yao's soft cheek, talking to him without saying a word.
After a while, Tang Yao leaned against his arms and fell asleep. Seeing that Tang Yao was in a deep sleep, Tang Tan summoned guards to send Tang Tan back to his room, while he lay wearily on the edge of the bed. Drowsily asleep.
He didn't know how long he had been asleep, but suddenly a feather-like stroke gently scratched his cheek, disturbing his restlessness.Frowning brows, he opened his eyes vaguely, met a pair of familiar quiet eyes, and suddenly froze, opened his mouth several times to call out to the other party but couldn't make a sound, he even wondered if he was thinking about it day and night , will dream that the other party wakes up.
I was looking forward to it too much, so I was afraid that this was just a dream.
The man looked at his hesitant and agitated expression, his eyes became deeper and deeper, and those calm eyes seemed to be loaded with more things than before.
"You... finally woke up..." Tang Tan bit his lower lip tightly, suppressing his inner excitement, and said with some difficulty.
He didn't really believe that the other party really woke up until he clearly felt the temperature of the other party's fingers touching his cheek.
The man seemed to have had enough touching, but he didn't withdraw his hand, and slowly evoked a rare and gentle smile, which made Tang Tan startled, as if he saw Meng Chaoyin smiling at him.
"Well, I'm back, Ah Tan."
In just a few words, Tang Tan was blown up like an atomic bomb, unable to move.
The final chapter
Hearing his words, Tang Tan's only reaction was to stare wide-eyed, staring blankly at Gu Zhongyan, not knowing how to react, after the initial shock, it was doubt and disbelief, and some close Nostalgic timid mood.
He really wanted to know if it was what he thought it was, but he was afraid that it was just his delusion, so he could only look at the other person stupidly and didn't know how to react.
"Why are you so stupid? Huh? You lost a lot of weight. Didn't you promise that I would take good care of myself? Why are you still so uneasy?"
It was different from the usual Gu Zhongyan, a little less restrained but more gentle and caring, directly poking at the most vulnerable part of Tang Tan's heart.
He immediately felt a sore nose, and his eye sockets turned red quickly, and he almost cried out of control, just like in that life, when he heard Meng Chaoyin confess his last words, his emotions collapsed, and tears rolled down like broken pearls.
He felt as if there was a string in his heart that had been tense since Meng Chaoyin passed away, and it suddenly loosened. The uneasiness that Yan felt after being injured was all vented at once.
"I'm sorry for making you worry and sad." The man propped himself up and gently hugged him into his arms, but his apology seemed to contain many other intentions.
This apology, not only did not stop Tang Tan from crying, on the contrary, he cried even more like a spring, like a child, which made the man feel extremely distressed.
And the hidden guards who had been guarding outside the room heard Tang Tan's cry, thought something happened to Gu Zhongyan, and rushed to the door and window one after another, but when they saw Gu Zhongyan wake up and caress Tang Tan in his arms, , They were also stunned.
The man looked up at the hidden guards with silly faces, waved to them and made a "retreat" gesture, and then they came back to their senses and retreated suddenly, and closed the doors and windows for the two of them thoughtfully.
He raised his hand again, and the gauze curtains on both sides of the bed fell down to cover the inside of the bed. Then he lowered his head and kissed Tang Tan's eyes, coaxing him tenderly and lovingly.
Tang Tan was tired from crying, and the tension he had been holding on for the past few days finally relaxed, and he felt tired all over his head. He almost fell asleep in the man's arms like this, but the question in his heart was getting bigger and bigger. Unsolved, he didn't want to just leave like this, so he grabbed the other party's skirt with some anxiety, and rarely stammered.
"That... you... now what the hell..."
Tang Tan's expression was slightly dazed, as if he was about to fall asleep but wanted to know the answer. In fact, the questions were not clear.And he actually didn't dare to ask too clearly, fearing that if he thought too much, such a question would cause the man to misunderstand, but the man seemed to know what he was going to ask, and kissed his forehead and lips comfortingly.
"Go to sleep, if you have anything to say, we'll talk about it when you wake up." The man said in a doting tone.
Under the hug full of his breath, Tang Tan fell into a deep sleep again.
After he fell asleep completely, the man put him down, moved his sleepy body, stood up and sank down, stood in the middle of the room and looked around the room for a long time, and the corners of his mouth formed a happy smile. smile marks.
He turned around and walked to the Baina cabinet next to him, took out Tang Tanzang from the bottom of the cabinet and put it in a box, then returned to the bedside, opened the box lid and took out the stack of portraits, his eyes became softer the more he looked.What I didn't understand and couldn't figure out before, I now understand.
He was a little thankful that he had never questioned Tang Tan about the existence of these paintings, because Tang Tan might not be able to answer his question, and there would be a grudge between the two of them.
"Little fool..." The man murmured whether it was distressing or pampering and tolerant, and he sighed softly for his lover's persistence and foolishness.
The man called Wei Yi, and he learned that he had been in a coma for a month and a half, and enough things could happen in this month and a half.
There are few major events than the assassination of Nangong Ci, who slammed into the table and committed suicide, but he became a wooden doll who said nothing, cried or laughed, and had no emotions. No one paid attention to him. Waiting, but I will never be happy or sad because of Zhao Xiang.
Knowing that her son is considered useless in this way, Nangong Shangshu can't afford to be sick, and Nangong Shangshu can't afford to be sick again. Mrs. Nangong also sadly asks another Shangshu to submit Nangong Shangshu's request to become an official, but the emperor temporarily put it on hold. up.
As for the chief culprit, Zhao Xiang, because of the emperor's wrath, Zhao Xu angrily reprimanded him for depriving him of his status as a prince and downgrading him to the rank of county king.
For the emperor's treatment, Zhao Xiang was quite unwilling at first, but after the emperor stayed in the imperial study for an hour, he silently withdrew, and then no longer complained about Zhao Xu's various treatment, and finally took Nangong Ci left the capital.
The dark guard said that Zhao Xu told Zhao Xiang his real identity, and Gu Zhongyan didn't say anything more about it.
Although Zhao Xiang seemed to be entangled with Wen Qiufu because he had no more affection for him, it didn't mean that he had no affection for Nangong Ci, especially in the face of Nangong Ci's decisive attitude, and Tang Tan's last words, which made him realize that yourself past and present, whether
