Chapter 136 She Died, He Loved Her
Just after seven in the evening, the penthouse was completely quiet.
Gu Chengyu had just come out of the bathroom, wearing only a black nightgown.
The wet black hair was still dripping, and the water droplets slid down the neck, across the Adam's apple, and into the collar.
He was casually drying his hair with a towel.
Su Qianqian was already waiting for him.
She was holding a hair dryer in her hand and tilted her head to look at him.
Her voice was soft and eager, "Ayu, can I help you blow dry your hair?"
Gu Chengyu paused in wiping his hair and looked at her with raised eyebrows in surprise.
The little girl was used to being served by him and rarely took the initiative to do these things.
"So good today?"
"You've always been very well behaved." Su Qianqian's cheeks flushed slightly.
She reached out and gently pushed his shoulder: "Hurry up, sit down."
"and……"
She shook the hair dryer in her hand and smiled softly: "After drying your hair, we still have work to do."
"Business?" Gu Chengyu became interested, threw away the towel, and sat down on the stool at the end of the bed.
This height is just right for Su Qianqian to blow his hair.
"Yes, it's business."
Su Qianqian nodded in response and turned the hair dryer to the lowest setting.
Gu Chengyu enjoyed the little girl's service and squinted his eyes comfortably.
Su Qianqian played the flute attentively while saying, "It's the love scene between Lin Wan and the monarch Qi Heng in 'The War'."
"We're going to shoot in two days, and I want to practice with you and get the feel for it."
"Didn't you say last time that I should like you first and then pretend to like someone else?"
"How about tonight? I won't have time in two days."
She paused and added, "Sister Fang Qing printed out the monarch's biography for me. It's right next to you."
Gu Chengyu glanced at a bound booklet placed in the middle of the stool at the end of the bed.
"Okay." He responded straightforwardly.
At the same time, he stretched out his long arm, easily took the booklet, and opened it.
Because, from Lin Wan's perspective, there are only three emotional scenes between her and the monarch.
The first scene is when they were young, when he devoted himself to teaching her and she admired and worshipped him.
The second scene is when she was eighteen and she made a vow to him that she would never betray him.
The third scene is the final one, where they stare at each other in the sea of fire and die together.
So, Qianqian now doesn’t know how much Qi Heng loves her.
The hairdryer hummed.
Gu Chengyu's thoughts were already immersed in the world of the last monarch.
In the first scene, when he was teaching the girl Lin Wan, he felt her sincerity and love.
I also felt her kindness and purity.
He thought at that time: Such a clean person should not be the cold knife and victim of the monarchy.
So while he was teaching her, he also trained many people.
But none of them are as outstanding as her, nor as kind, nor as loyal as her.
Impure people will not be seen by the core figures of the new school who claim to be righteous, and will be exposed at the first sight.
He cannot trust those who are disloyal.
So, he finally chose her.
The second scene shows her kneeling on the cold tiles, with her little face tilted up and her eyes firm as she speaks of her vow that she will never betray.
His face remained stern.
But only he knew how fast his heart was beating.
He told her: You have to succeed.
But he was saying in his heart: You must come back alive.
Every subsequent communication was through letters.
Successful news came one after another.
He should have been happy, but he could see her bleeding heart behind the good news.
Because he understood her and also understood those righteous new factions.
So he knew that she had earned their trust by giving her sincerity.
He felt, very sorry.
But now that things have come to this, no matter which side she chooses, she can't turn back.
The last scene is the final battle.
When he learned that she had turned against him, he was actually very relieved.
In fact, he had long since stopped wanting to stay in this rotten monarchy and palace.
But behind him, there are still many people who believe in the monarchy and fight for it.
So he couldn't reveal any of his true thoughts.
Who made him the last monarch of the Qi family?
If you carry this surname, you must shoulder the glory and responsibility of this surname.
Sure enough, he lost, and he lost happily.
He set fire to the palace that symbolized glory and the last bloodline of the Qi family.
When the fire started, he stood on the platform and actually saw her.
She was already twenty-one years old at that time.
They haven't seen each other for three years.
He watched her walk step by step towards the sea of fire.
He wanted to shout at her to turn back and go back to the new faction.
But before he even said it, he knew that with her personality, it would be impossible for her to return to the New School and survive after the truth was revealed.
So, she came back.
He looked at her and finally fell down the stairs.
She is dead.
He himself was unable to breathe due to the thick smoke and slowly fell on the platform.
At the end of his blurred consciousness, he slowly reached out his hand in her direction.
He wanted to tell her: I'm sorry for ruining you.
I also want to tell her: Thank you for coming back and letting me see you for the last time.
Finally, he wanted to say: He didn't blame her, he loved her.
Qi Heng loves her.
The last monarch raised his hand, and finally slowly lowered it.
He, his loved ones, and his royal power all perished in the fire.
The hairdryer stopped.
Gu Chengyu had just finished turning the last page.
If he put Lin Wan in Qianqian's shoes, he felt like he was almost suffocating.
"Okay!" Su Qianqian turned off the hair dryer and touched his fluffy and dry black hair with satisfaction, feeling a little proud.
"Ayu, let's change clothes and rehearse the three emotional scenes."
Gu Chengyu breathed a sigh of relief, and the complex emotions in his eyes disappeared.
He stood up and pinched her watery little face: "Okay, let's go change clothes first."
"After the performance, I have something to tell you."
