I can't afford it, it's super fierce!

Chapter 44 The king wants to be a fool

That night.

The moonlight was cool, and after dinner with Gu Jinzhi, they casually chatted about some interesting things about the world.Xinyu Tower is the best place to appreciate the bright moon, the crescent moon hangs high and casts bright and clear brilliance.

"I went to the palace today to listen to the emperor's brother talking about political affairs. General Ding may be returning to the border soon. I'm afraid I won't be able to return for a few years. How about this king going to the gate of the city with you to see him off?" Gu Jinzhi poured a glass for Jiang Li Clear tea, and handed over delicate and small snacks.

Jiang Li sipped his tea lightly: "I'll just go, what's the reason for the prince to go?"

"The king is going with you."

"The dignified Prince Shu sent the general back to the border in person." Jiang Li put down his cup and said, "It may not be what it will be like if it reaches His Majesty's ears."

Gu Jinzhi showed a wicked smile that he had expected for a long time: "Li'er is considerate, and this king readily agrees. But you have to come back soon, otherwise this king will be anxious."

Jiang Li was no longer surprised by his childish and coquettish appearance, when he raised his eyes to look at Gu Jinzhi, he found that his handsome face was a little pale under the moonlight, and he was about to say a word of concern.Gu Jinzhi suddenly started talking about something else: "Jinhua's birthday is coming soon, and this king is thinking about what to give her. Does Li'er have an idea?"

Jiang Li thought for a while, and said: "The princess doesn't have any special hobbies, so the prince just collects some weird gadgets for her, and she must be happy."

"Okay, just listen to little Li'er." Gu Jinzhi thought about it and said, "I remember that there is a Liuxia night pearl produced in the Western Regions in the warehouse. It has a natural fragrance, and it can emit colorful and dazzling light at night. .When the king finds it out tomorrow, I will show it to you to observe and see if it is suitable."

Jiang Li said: "The one chosen by the prince must be a treasure."

The smile on Gu Jinzhi's face deepened, and the evening wind blew into the room through the open window, bringing in the elegant and deep plum fragrance.

Jiang Li looked out the window, the moon and stars were sparse, and a few dark clouds floated in the sky at some point.

"It's getting late, my lord, please go back early to rest."

As soon as the eviction order came out, the smile on Gu Jinzhi's face froze obviously, and he was naturally unwilling to leave.Staring at Jiang Li for a long time, he didn't even move his finger out an inch: "Li'er, don't you want to stay with me for a while longer?"

Jiang Li's eyes rolled slowly, and Gu Jinzhi looked at him distractedly: "Then, this king wants to stay here, is it okay?"

Jiang Li's face was flat, and he said slowly: "This is the palace, whether it's your bedroom or the Xinyu Building, you can be anywhere you want."

Gu Jinzhi was delighted in his heart, with a smile on his face: "Then..."

"My lord, just stay in Xinyulou, I'll go to other places." After Jiang Li finished speaking, she made a gesture to get up.

Gu Jinzhi immediately became anxious: "Wait!"

Jiang Li stopped and looked back at him.

Gu Jinzhi no longer had the naughty look of a child in the past.At this moment, his brows were tightly furrowed, his face was gloomy, his thin lips were pursed into a line, his eyes shone with an unprecedented sternness, but there was also an indescribable sadness: "Do you just hate this king so much?"

Yu Tai who was waiting at the door skipped a beat.It was just now that they were chatting with each other in a warm atmosphere, why did they suddenly become so sullen?Yu Tai couldn't help being curious, and stuck out his head to peek inside.

"Yutai, stand far away!"

"..." Yu Tai backed away silently: "Yes."

The soft light in Jiang Li's eyes flickered, fleeting and undetectable.

Gu Jinzhi withdrew his gaze from the entrance, and stuck his eyes firmly on Jiang Li's face: "Ever since this king expressed his feelings to you, you have always seemed to keep a distance from this king. Maybe it's my wishful thinking, or Perhaps this king has frightened you by acting too hastily, but in any case, this king first apologizes to you."

Gu Jinzhi's tone was urgent, and he tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart.His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked confused and helpless: "If you are not happy living in the palace, if you have to wrong yourself to submit to this king because of the power and status of this king, then you are really trampling on this king." The king's sincerity. Now, this king only wants you to say a word. If you don't want to at all, then this king will... let you go."

In the last few words, Gu Jinzhi said very softly, almost inaudible, as if he was afraid that he would be heard by himself if he said too much, and he was afraid that he would not be able to bear it.

"If you stay in the palace not for this king, but for some other purpose...it doesn't matter, it is an honor for this king to be of value in your heart."

"Purpose?" Jiang Li, who had been silent all this time, suddenly changed his expression slightly: "What does the lord want to say?"

Gu Jinzhi chuckled, as if he had seen through something, as if he didn't care about anything. The three words "let you go" are like a bottomless pit, sucking away his blood bit by bit. He looked at Jiang Li and said lightly: "Although this king has no great abilities, he is still Dayu's prince. If you get close to me, you may have a chance to get close to the emperor in the future. It is natural for you to kill Ye Laiyou alone for revenge, but if you want to completely eradicate the entire Zhuhui, you must bring Jiushu back to life..."

Jiang Li's heart trembled heavily.

How did Gu Jinzhi know this?Guess what?Or……

Everyone present at that time, excluding myself and the emperor, the only one person was——

Jiang Li could only feel the chilling wind: "Eunuch Tang, the chief eunuch serving the imperial court, is it yours?"

Gu Jinzhi smiled silently, which was equivalent to acquiescing.

No big deal?

The person who accompanied the emperor the longest, the person who knew the emperor's character best, was also the person whom the emperor trusted the most. The chief executive, Eunuch Tang, was actually Gu Jinzhi's eyeliner!

The royal family has no family relationship, even if the emperor has a brotherly relationship with him, how long can he maintain it?All of these are based on the fact that there is no threat. What if Gu Jinzhi recovers from his illness one day?What if a famous doctor suddenly developed a special prescription to cure Gu Jinzhi's body?

Then the existence of Gu Jinzhi is the greatest threat to the current Holy Majesty!

This seemingly cynical idle prince who only knows how to eat, drink, play and play games is actually not idle at all.

He has his own city and plans in his chest, but he doesn't bother to understand those dirty plots.Clearly understand, but pretend not to understand.Secretly leaving a way out for himself, he is as wise as a fool.

"Why did you tell me this?" Jiang Li's fingertips felt a little cold.

"You seem cold and ruthless, but you actually don't like to kill, and you don't want to go against your father's wishes. So you refused the emperor's conditions for you." Gu Jinzhi seemed to sigh, silently: "Li You are perfect, except for your cold temper... no, this is also your advantage. Because of this, it highlights your unique temperament. There are three thousand beauties in the emperor's harem, each of them is as beautiful as a flower, and each is gentle and sensible , there is no one like you who exudes a stubbornness that cannot be violated and cannot be profane."

Although this sentence was very cryptic, Jiang Li could still hear the deep meaning in it.

Gu Jinzhi looked at the hazy drunk moon in the night sky, sighed, and smiled wryly: "Although we are both the sons of the main palace, there is a difference between me and him since birth. He is the eldest son, healthy, intelligent and virtuous. As for me, because of my second son and my physical disability, I have never fought with him since I was a child, even the supreme throne can be handed over to him. But, only you, I don’t want to give it up, nor Will let."

Jiang Li's heart hung in pain, aching and sore.Under the bleak moonlight, Gu Jinzhi's face became paler and paler.

"My lord is so stupid to treat me like this."

"This king wants to be a fool."

After the bright moon disappeared into the dark clouds, the night wind suddenly became cold.

Jiang Li stood by the window, her tea-white clothes rippling in the wind: "My lord knows my goal. So, just treat me as cold-blooded and ruthless."

Gu Jinzhi felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart, it didn't hurt, but it was bleeding.

Jiang Li's goal is revenge, and the person he wants to kill is Zhuhui Ye Laiyou, who has the title of an undefeated female devil.The last Xiangxuege battle, the danger can be imagined.He took revenge with the determination to die. His path was difficult, and his life and death were uncertain.If he really died of revenge, how could he respond to this person who was so kind to him at this moment.

He couldn't respond, or, he didn't dare to respond.

The young master survives with the will to revenge. If one day the revenge is avenged and his mission is completed, then...does he still have the motivation to live?

He lost himself. On the day when he got revenge, he thought of the tragic death of his parents, the destruction of his family, and walked alone. What joy is there in living.

The words of Qingyan suddenly appeared in his mind, and Gu Jinzhi's heart trembled. He looked up at Jiang Li's thin back, although it was standing upright, it was like a lonely little flower in the wind and rain. Down.

Gu Jinzhi clenched his fists secretly. He leaned on the corner of the table and stood up, looking at Jiang Li's back standing alone in the night wind: "You avenge the manchu family, I can't stop it, and I have no right to intervene. But you can't give up your life." Forget death, despise life."

Jiang Li's face was slightly startled, and he couldn't help turning his head to look at Gu Jinzhi.

In the cold wind of the lonely moon, the blood on Gu Jinzhi's lips faded completely. He looked tired, lowered his eyes and smiled wryly: "I thought I had nothing to worry about, and no fear of life and death. But because of your appearance, I have hope. Life is glorious, this king doesn't want to die."

"Jiang Li." Gu Jinzhi raised his eyes, his eyes filled with sadness and earnestness: "You are the only reason for me to live in this world. And I, am I not qualified to be your only concern in this world?"

Jiang Li's face turned pale, his heart seemed to be stabbed by something, it hurt, numb, and hot.Gu Jinzhi is like a ball of fire, a fire that cannot be extinguished by the three real fire.No matter how hard the heart is, no matter how cold the internal organs are, they will be melted by his fire, leaving a burn that will never heal for life.

"My lord..."

Gu Jinzhi suddenly reached out to stop Jiang Li's words, his face showed unprecedented fatigue, he took a few breaths, as if he wanted to relieve the depression in his heart.What could be replaced was a paler complexion and a slightly trembling body.

"It's getting late, since you're tired, you should go to bed early." Gu Jinzhi's tone was not as gentle as before, but a little stiff, as if he was holding back something: "It's cool at night, remember to close the doors and windows."

Gu Jinzhi glanced at Jiang Li lightly, turned around and left without staying too long.

After leaving the Xinyu Building, I happened to meet Yutai who was waiting in the courtyard.Yu Tai saw that his brows were slightly frowned, and his face was sombre, which was rare. Thinking of the tense scene between him and Jiang Li just now, Yu Tai knew that Gu Jinzhi had lost his temper.

While carefully following beside him, he couldn't help but mutter again.Gu Jinzhi is kind-hearted, childish, and generous to others.He rarely even speaks loudly to people, let alone getting angry.Besides, that was Jiang Li.Prince Shu is willing to get angry with Jiang Li?Tell the pigs, and the pigs will laugh.

"My lord..." The master was angry, and the servants accompanying him were also on pins and needles. Yu Tai didn't know whether to say something to comfort Gu Jinzhi: "Shall we go back to the bedroom, or..."

The wind was blowing under Prince Shu's feet, and he walked fast all the way, as if he only wanted to get away from Xinyu Tower as soon as possible.Yu Tai Xiao ran followed behind, he was very stupid, he was really not good at comforting people, after much deliberation, he choked out a sentence: "If the prince is not sleepy, then I can accompany you to the garden. The pear blossoms are blooming just right."

After Yu Tai said this, Gu Jinzhi's pace really slowed down.Yu Tai's heartbeat also missed half a beat on the spot.

Pear, Li, these two homonyms!

"Yutai."

"The little one is here!" Yu Tai hurriedly responded.

"You go to Xinyulou to take care of Li'er, no matter what happens, don't let him leave Xinyulou."

"Ah?" Yu Tai was puzzled.

"Then, you... call someone, go and call Zhou, Zhou Bitter Gourd to this king." Gu Jinzhi's body suddenly trembled violently, and Yu Tai turned pale with shock, and hurried over to help Gu Jinzhi, seeing Gu Jinzhi's expression, already Pale to the point of no human color.

"My lord, could it be that you are..." Yu Tai was shocked and said, "The poison of Huan Lan has broken out?"
