Gu Jingchun looked at him and suddenly smiled.
"So it was you!"
Ye Wenxi nodded, then stood up straight and respectfully bowed to Gu Jingchun.
"My name is Ye Wenxi. I have come here specifically to find you, young lady, hoping to follow you and repay your life-saving grace."
Gu Jingchun smiled.
"Follow me?"
"You should think this through carefully. If you follow me, you probably won't be able to become an official."
Ye Wenxi nodded.
"Thank you for your help before, but now I'd rather follow you than become an official."
Gu Jingchun looked at him, and after a long while, smiled again.
"Fine, since you've come all this way, I'll help you one more time. I've already secretly brought down that official who bullied you before."
Now, all you need to do is go back, and I can have someone recommend you.
Ye Wenxi shook her head.
"Thank you for your kindness, young lady, but right now, I only want to follow you and I don't want to become an official."
"If I didn't have the girl's help, I wouldn't even be able to save my life, so how could I become an official?"
"Now, even if the girl helps me get an official position, I have no background or support in the court, so I certainly won't last long."
As he spoke, he took another step forward.
"If I'm not mistaken, the young lady is probably short-handed!"
"These bandits are all strong but brainless. They can do mindless things, but they can't really help you."
He said this with a slight smile.
"But I can."
“I have studied for many years, but I am not pedantic. I also have knowledge to support me, so I can definitely help you.”
Gu Jingchun curled the corners of his lips into a smile.
"A smart person."
"However, I don't like people who are too smart. I don't want the foundation I've worked so hard to build to become someone else's stepping stone in the end."
Ye Wenxi bowed again.
"You can rest assured, young lady. You saved me and my mother. In my eyes, you are my savior."
Since he is a benefactor, one should repay him with one's life.
From this moment forward, I am your person. I will only have reverence for your legacy and will not have any desire to possess it.
If the girl is still worried, Ye is willing to sign a contract of servitude.
Gu Jingchun looked at him and suddenly smiled.
"Indeed, it seems to be genuine. In that case, let's keep him."
Ye Wenxi was overjoyed and went back with Gu Jingchun.
He's been following him ever since.
This has been going on for many years.
He started from the bottom, gradually gaining Gu Jingchun's trust and eventually standing by Gu Jingchun's side.
Over the years, he also learned that Gu Jingchun had been wronged by a man, leaving behind this child.
Even so, he didn't dare to hope that Gu Jingchun could be with him.
He has always been insecure.
His background and his wretched state always kept him from getting any closer.
He only dared to hide his feelings, and tried his best, and even harder, until he could stand by her side.
But just as he had prepared everything and rushed back to tell her his feelings, he learned that she had gone to the palace.
He was struck dumb, and after preparing everything, he wanted to break into the palace and bring her back.
But when I saw her, I saw a completely different person.
One he had never seen before.
Her eyes sparkled.
She probably didn't even realize that her eyes looked different when she was with Shen Hechuan.
It was at that moment that he realized he had absolutely no chance.
However, he didn't want to give up just like that.
He didn't trust this man, even though she liked him.
Even though she was the father of her child at that time.
However, he still couldn't bear to let go.
He was always waiting, waiting for the moment she would back down.
He wanted to be her support, her first choice when she needed to retreat.
Even so, he didn't dare to hope that he could be with Gu Jingchun.
He just wanted to stay by her side, to be there for her, so that when she wanted to turn back, the first person she would see was him. That was enough.
But even that tiny bit of hope is gone.
Because as time goes by little by little.
He was certain she wouldn't turn back.
It was at this time that Mo Junxing found him.
Mo Junxing saw through his disguise and his love for her, and used this love as bait, hoping that he could help him.
It was at that moment that he suddenly realized that what he thought was love might become a sword piercing her at some point.
So, at that moment, he decided to let go completely and protect her in a different way.
Therefore, he became her sworn brother, climbing the ranks in the imperial court step by step, becoming her support and backing, giving her complete peace of mind.
Time flies, one year, two years, three years...
He watched her grow step by step, watched her rise higher and higher, and become a true queen.
And he rose step by step, eventually reaching his highest position.
He became the prime minister.
Standing in this imperial court, I became the official I had always longed to be when I was young.
They truly lived up to their mission of serving the people.
Of course, he was also the knife in her hand, and the shield in her hand.
She would come up with all sorts of policies for the benefit of the people.
He would then implement her policies step by step.
Fortunately, she has always been doing well and has always been happy.
