Chapter Forty: Choose One of Two
Gu Yanjing reflected on it very seriously.
As for what happened last night, it wasn't really a big deal for him.
The enemy was so bewitched that they lost their very soul.
Lu Lingjun had already gone to court. Gu Yan was paralyzed on the bed. He yawned, still feeling like he hadn't slept well, and lazily hugged the quilt and fell asleep.
Gu Congxin was left outside by the barrier, feeling wronged and chilled to the bone by the cold wind.
Gu Congxin: ...Damn it, you two are just sleeping, why are you locking me out to starve? And why are you making me eat all the time?
You two are really something, are you even going to stay together?
Gu Yanjing was asleep, while Nan Wan'er had already been lifted up by the palace maids to deliver food to the madman.
After the madman hurt Nan Wan'er that day, Nan Wan'er became very afraid of him and would always put the food far away when she brought it to him.
Today, Nan Wan'er couldn't help but sit on the steps and giggle foolishly, thinking about the handsome young man she was about to meet who was exactly her type.
The madman asked her, "What are you laughing at?"
Nan Wan'er's smile vanished instantly, all her good mood gone.
"It's nothing," she replied casually.
She's sitting right next to the door; opening it is easy for her.
“Speak, or I’ll kill you,” the madman stood up and threatened.
Nan Wan'er trembled with fright and stammered out what had happened that day: "I, I'm going to see Gu Shiyue later. Gu Shiyue is going to teach me to play the zither."
The madman's eyes widened: "You said you've seen Gu Shiyue?"
Nan Wan'er nodded fearfully.
"Gu Shiyue is going to the palace today? Bring him here." The madman suddenly lunged at Nan Wan'er and grabbed her hand tightly.
Nan Wan'er burst into tears in fright, pitifully hiding behind her: "No, His Majesty won't let anyone else in."
As if remembering something, the madman suddenly pushed Nan Wan'er out of the hall, yelling, "Get out! Get out of here!"
Originally, he was Gu Shiyue, and his Wan'er was supposed to be his empress.
But now everything has changed. Why is that?
Could it be because of this Nan Wan'er who suddenly appeared and looks exactly like Wan'er?
If there could only be one Wan'er in this world.
Does that mean that if Nan Wan'er dies, his Wan'er will come back?
Nan Wan'er ran back to her palace crying, followed by a whole bunch of palace maids, eunuchs, and nannies, but they couldn't catch up with the wind-like Nan Wan'er.
Nan Wan'er lowered her head and didn't look where she was going, figuring that everyone would make way for her anyway. But she bumped into someone's arms right at the doorway.
Standing on the roof, Gu Congxin looked at the scene of lovers below and felt it all looked so fake.
Both of them are fake, a fake female lead and a fake male lead, tsk tsk tsk.
His Majesty really knows how to have fun.
However, it was also because the real Nan Wan'er died young; otherwise, His Majesty would probably have gone for something even bigger.
"Your Majesty the Empress." Seeing the girl rush into her arms, Gu Shiyue felt extremely frightened, but she instinctively stopped, took a step back, and bowed very politely.
He is now the eldest son of the King of Qi, and although he holds a low-ranking official position, he can still act with impunity in the palace.
Nan Wan'er looked at Gu Shiyue with her eyes full of tears.
It's the guy she likes.
How did she end up being seen in such a disheveled state by that young man?
That's really embarrassing.
Gu Congxin rarely looked at it again. He calculated the time and realized that Lu Lingjun would soon be leaving court, and his emperor should be waking up soon. He also needed to go back to his emperor's side.
The host you chose, you have to serve them even if you have to kneel down.
