Gu Shichong took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears from his face: "What's wrong? If you are tired, go back to the palace and rest."
The Ninth Prince shook his head and said, "Ying'er is not tired. Ying'er hasn't seen Third Brother for a long time. I want to stay with Third Brother for a while longer."
Ever since Concubine Ge's death, Gu Shiying's personality has become much more taciturn. Having lost his mother and seeing his father dying, such a little child regards his brother from the same mother as his only support.
