Beijing 9
"It rained that night, and my legs were broken so I couldn't walk. People were coming and going on the road but no one noticed me. I put aside my pride and begged for help from early evening to midnight, but no one paid any attention to me.
I gave up. I thought this was my fate, but I didn't want to accept it, so I crawled forward desperately and finally crawled to a sedan chair.
In the heavy rain, I tried my best to look up, but all I saw was the sedan door that was too high to reach. I stretched out my hand but fainted before I could say anything.
When I woke up, I smelled a strong smell of medicine. When I opened my eyes, I saw a woman in front of me. She was very beautiful, with a face as red as the first peach petals.
When she saw me wake up, stars lit up in her eyes and she said to me: "You woke up. If you didn't wake up, I would dig a hole and bury you."
Huarui, her name, is as beautiful as she is.
I lived in Huarui’s small house. It was very small, so small that it was just a thatched house.
Huarui told me optimistically that she was making a lot of money now and that she would definitely renovate this small thatched house into a large house with three entrances and three exits in the future, so that I would not be laughed at when I returned home after winning the imperial examination.
After my leg healed, I planned to work to earn money to buy books, but Hua Rui stopped me and said she would support my studies.
She basically brings back a book every day, all kinds of them. Every time she delivered a book, she would leave. I really hoped to stay with her for a while longer, but she always said that I would have plenty of time after I became the top scholar, and the most important thing now was to study hard.
Hua Rui didn't let me go out, so I didn't go out either. I stayed at home and studied hard every day. This went on for two years. I took the ten taels of silver that Hua Rui gave me and went to Beijing to take the exam.
God favors me and I really won the top spot in the imperial examination.
But God did not always favor me, and Hua Rui died.
There is a small grave in the thatched hut where I lived for two years. It was the home that Huarui had longed for all her life.
At that time I understood, what is a prosperous age? What peace? It's all bullshit.
How can the person sitting high on the throne create the world that the lower class people want without experiencing their suffering? I just want to create a world where everyone is happy, regardless of their status. What's wrong with me? ”
Gu Qingqu didn't say anything. He looked at Xue Linfeng for a long time before he stood up and walked out.
"His Majesty"
Gu Qingqu stopped at the door and answered Xue Linfeng's question, "The kind of world you want will never exist. You have met too few people."
Xue Linfeng smiled, as if he already knew Gu Qingqu's answer. And that was not what he wanted to say. What he wanted to say was, "Your Majesty, please grant me death. I want to go and accompany Hua Rui."
Gu Qingqu paused for a while, but ultimately did not reply to him. He went straight out of the prison. When he raised his eyes, he saw Qin Yan waiting at the door. Gu Qingqu looked at him and suddenly laughed.
Qin Yan walked up and asked, "What are you happy about?"
Gu Qingqu replied: "Nothing"
The two walked side by side on the palace path. The lights on the wall stretched their shadows very long. In the silent night, the only sound was the sound of their idle chat.
"What did he say?"
"Telling a story"
"What's the story?"
"Bad story"
.......
The two returned to Weiyang Palace. Qin Yan fetched some water to wash up. Gu Qingqu sat on a chair. The light shone on his face, and he looked tired and weak. He said, "Qin Yan, I'm so tired. Can you wash my face for me today?"
Qin Yan naturally agreed, "Okay, I will not only wash your face but also your feet."
Gu Qingqu pursed her lips and smiled, "Qin Yan, you are so nice"
Qin Yan twisted the handkerchief and walked up to him, "I have many good points, you can explore them slowly in the future."
Gu Qingqu laughed again. Qin Yan covered his face with a handkerchief and did not see the reluctance in his eyes.
After washing his face, Qin Yan fetched water to wash Gu Qingqu's feet. Actually, it was called washing feet, but he just took off his socks. When the two of them were washing together, Qin Yan rubbed Gu Qingqu's feet with his feet. Gu Qingqu smiled when he looked at their feet stacked together, and Qin Yan smiled along with him.
"If you are tired, go to bed early"
"Um"
Qin Yan poured the water, blew out the lights, went to bed and hugged Gu Qingqu, "Don't get up so early tomorrow, there is always a lot to do, take your time and don't tire yourself out."
Gu Qingqu hugged him tightly, burying his head in his chest. After a long while, he said, "Qin Yan, let's get married."
"Ah?" The words came out so suddenly that Qin Yan didn't react for a moment.
"If you don't want to, forget it"
Gu Qingqu let go of him angrily and turned over to sleep next to him. Qin Yan hugged him from behind and said, "You are willing. Anyone who doesn't want to is a fool. I dream of seeing you in your wedding dress again. Okay, don't be angry. I'm just too excited. I have prepared a proposal gift, but you have been busy all this time and I haven't found the right time."
Qin Yan rubbed Gu Qingqu's neck with his chin, which made Gu Qingqu's neck itchy. He couldn't help laughing, "Since you are so sincere, I will reluctantly agree to you."
Considering Gu Qingqu's health, Qin Yan didn't bother him too much, "Well, go to sleep, we'll talk tomorrow."
"Um"
Gu Qingqu slept very uneasily and was always waking up in surprise. Every time he woke up, Qin Yan would wake up too. This was the first time this had happened. No matter how scared he was before, he would still sleep soundly.
When Gu Qingqu woke up again, Qin Yan asked, "What happened?"
Gu Qingqu opened his eyes and looked at the darkness in front of him. His voice was a little weak and sober, "It's okay, I just had a nightmare."
Qin Yan guessed that this was the sequelae of using the Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner, so he didn't think much about it, and just comforted him: "It's okay, it's all over, I will protect you"
Gu Qingqu closed his eyes and said, "Go to sleep."
Gu Qingqu got up early the next morning. Qin Yan was so sleepy that he couldn't even open his eyes. They didn't sleep much last night, and he was worried that Gu Qingqu's body couldn't take it. "Why don't you not go? How can you bear this?"
Gu Qingqu put on her clothes and said, "I'm not sleepy. I want to announce our marriage in the morning court today."
Qin Yan was no longer sleepy after hearing this, and he immediately got up and said, "I'll go too."
Gu Qingqu held him down and said, "What are you going to do? You should prepare the proposal gift for me. I will be back soon."
Qin Yan was successfully persuaded, "Then come back early"
"Um"
Gu Qingqu went to the morning court. Qin Yan got out of bed energetically and grabbed Fu Ze who was still sleeping. "Don't sleep. I want to propose to Gu Qingqu. Come up with a romantic idea for me."
Fu Ze was sleeping soundly, but he was so frightened by his words that he woke up completely. He stared at him with eyes as big as copper bells and asked him, "Young Master, you didn't come to tell me a joke so early in the morning, did you? I'm almost freezing to death."
Qin Yan said: "Who is telling you a joke? I am serious. I will use it later."
Fu Ze pushed up his glasses and said, "Young Master, let me tell you something you don't want to hear. You and..."
"If you know you don't like it, don't say it. Don't force me to slap you on this beautiful day." Qin Yan interrupted him forcefully. Fu Ze was very dissatisfied. "You are being arbitrary. Even the demon lord is not as domineering as you."
Qin Yan said: "I'm really sorry, please give me some advice quickly."
Fu Ze shook his head, "I won't go out. If the demon master knew that I suggested you marry Gu Qingqu, he would kill me no matter how many of me there are."
Qin Yan said: "I will keep it a secret for you"
"The Demon Lord knows everything. Don't lie to me. Just listen to my advice. You and..."
Qin Yan interrupted him, "He doesn't know who my mother is."
Fuze was shocked and looked at him in disbelief, "You said something like this?"
Qin Yan said: "This is not something shameful, why can't we talk about it?"
Listening to his righteous words, Fu Ze held his forehead with his hand. How should he tell him that this matter is very embarrassing?
However, Qin Yan had no idea what was going on in his mind, and just urged him, "If I hadn't been an orphan since I was a child, I wouldn't have come to ask you."
Fu Ze's hard heart felt a little sad after hearing these words, "Isn't the Demon Lord both a father and a mother? How come he has been without a mother since he was a child?"
Qin Yan asked him back, "Just tell me whether you will help or not."
"Hey, you..." Fu Ze sighed, beat his chest and stamped his feet. Just when Qin Yan thought he was about to piss himself off to death, he said, "Hey, there's really nothing I can do. Help, help, help."
Fu Ze finally made up his mind. "Tokens of love are usually jade pendants or jade rings. Anyway, whatever is valuable should be given. I think the token of the young master of the demon world you have is good. Give it to me."
Qin Yan thought what he said made sense, but, "When I went out, my father took the token from me to prevent me from giving it away to anyone."
"The Demon Lord is really foresighted," Fu Ze praised sincerely, and then said, "Actually, I was just joking with you just now. Isn't Gu Qingqu afraid of demons? Didn't you drive him away by giving him the token?"
Oh, there is this. Qin Yan almost forgot that he was a monster. He said every day that he was a monster catcher and he even believed it himself.
Finished.
Qin Yan said: "Okay, let's put the proposal gift aside for now, and now let's talk about Gu Qingqu's fear of monsters."
Fu Ze didn't quite understand what he meant, "What's there to say about this? He can only live for a short time, why don't you just hide your identity?" Fu Ze realized something was wrong after he said that, and quickly changed his words, "Oh, no, I mean, since he is afraid of monsters, and you are a monster, then you two are totally not suitable for each other. What if one day you lose control and turn into a monster and scare him to death?"
Qin Yan said angrily: "I told you to read less novels. My demon body is also in human form. How can I scare people to death?"
Fu Ze said: "But your demon body is 2.6 meters tall. Where in the world can there be someone so tall?"
Qin Yan said: "You still don't understand the value of being a master of illusion. No wonder you are still single after thousands of years."
“No personal attacks allowed.”
Qin Yan snorted, "The same goes for hens."
"Uneducated," Fuze complained about him.
Qin Yan said: "It's OK as long as you have a wife."
Fu Ze rolled his eyes in annoyance, and Qin Yan pulled off his glasses and said, "If you can't think of a solution, I won't return it to you."
Fuze was speechless, "Young Master, please don't be so childish, okay? You are already five hundred years old."
Qin Yan asked him, "What should I do? Give you 400 years?"
Fuze couldn't argue with him, "Let's talk about the gift-giving thing. Take out the valuable things on you so I can see them."
"No need to look, I have already knitted the quilt, you just need to think of a romantic way to propose."
"A small quilt?" Fuze couldn't believe it. "Propose? Isn't this for your own child?"
"Never mind me"
"Then I'll go back."
"The glasses were broken"
Fu Ze turned his head angrily and looked at the glasses in Qin Yan's hand. His tone softened instantly and he compromised: "I think, I think"
