Chapter 180 Gu Yu x Bo Ling
When Bo Ling first met Gu Yu, he had just arrived in the Central Plains and had all his belongings swindled out of him.
These people from the Central Plains are so evil, Bo Ling cursed and prepared to torture the liar to death with a poison.
But Gu Yu arrived first.
The phoenix on the pomegranate skirt spread its wings, casting a shadow before him:
"Is this yours?"
A gray bag was placed in front of Bo Ling. He took it with surprise. It was his.
"Thank...thank you."
Bo Ling looked over and saw the person in front of him with bright eyes, white teeth, and eyebrows that were green without any makeup.
Bo Ling stumbled a little and her face turned red. She was really pretty.
“Cough…cough.”
Gu Yu nodded and coughed a few times, then was helped into the carriage by a maid.
After everyone left, Bo Ling came back to his senses, and he felt a faint sense of joy in his heart:
"It would be nice to see her again."
A year later, Bo Ling saw her again.
Gu Yu sat in front of his stall and said, "I've been coughing a lot lately and my whole body aches. Do you have any medicine?"
Bo Ling put the book down immediately after seeing her. He looked at Gu Yu's expression:
"The girl can't sleep at night?"
Gu Yu nodded after hearing this: "Yes, there are some. Do you have a prescription?"
Bo Ling bent down to look for it, then said:
"Yes, yes, please wait."
He took out all the bags, big and small, and gave them all to Gu Yu:
"These include cough relievers, blood stasis removers, ventilation products... and beauty products."
Bo Ling explained the effects of each one to Gu Yu, and then told the maid behind her.
Gu Yu just nodded throughout the whole process and didn't say anything.
Finally, she asked the maid to accept it, and then said:
"How much are these?"
“No money!”
After hearing this, Bo Ling quickly waved his hands and said:
"Thanks to the girl's help last time, otherwise I would have had to sleep on the street that night."
"Consider these as a thank you gift."
Gu Yu's eyes swept across those old and tattered books:
"You also want to take the imperial examination?"
Bo Ling blushed a little when he saw this: "Just taking a look."
His mother said that the capital is the most lively place in the world, and Bo Ling likes hustle and bustle the most, so he wants to settle down here.
After arriving in the capital, I discovered that almost all men aspired to be on the list of successful candidates in the imperial examinations.
Bo Ling thought that since he had nothing to do, he could take the exam slowly.
But it's too difficult and the competition is too fierce, comparable to when the tribe is selecting a saint, everyone is trying their best to fight for it.
Even an eighty-year-old grandmother refuses to admit defeat.
"It's always good to have ambition." After saying this, Gu Yu left with the maid.
Bo Ling stared at her back, wondering when they would meet again.
But Gu Yu came back again and put a box on the book:
"This is medicine money, it's not worth anything."
When Bo Ling opened it and took a closer look, he saw that it was a jade pen that was completely green, transparent and flawless, and looked like a valuable item.
This thing looked valuable, so Bo Ling refused.
"Thank you..."
But when he looked over, Gu Yu had already left without him noticing.
Bo Ling held the jade pen and felt an urge in his heart. He wanted to know who the other person was and why he treated him so well.
So he used the insect to follow the scent and followed it all the way to the palace gate.
He couldn't get any closer, but he more or less guessed in his heart that the other person was a noble person.
Bo Ling looked down at the jade pen in his hand, feeling somewhat dejected. He became even more dejected when he saw the patch on the corner of his clothes.
Half a year later, Bo Ling found a good job for himself and entered the Eastern Palace.
The first thing Bo Ling did when he entered was to ask the expressionless Changhe who the girl was.
Chang He frowned after hearing this: "Women, wearing gorgeous dresses. There are so many of them in the palace, how would I know?"
"You come in here and don't work properly, but just think about random things."
Bo Ling was not convinced after hearing this:
"Why do you care about me? Which eye of yours saw me not working properly? You wanted those people in the dungeon to live until three o'clock in the morning, but when did I let them die?"
Chang He took a few steps back: "You spit on my face."
Changshu came out and heard what the two said:
"Your scope is too broad. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack. If there's anything she made, there's usually a mark on it."
Bo Ling instinctively grasped the jade pen at his waist, then picked it up and looked at it carefully, but in the end he found nothing.
"This is the jade pen she gave me, but there's no writing on it."
Chang He glanced at it, then said, "Your Highness may know, but you take such a small matter..."
Bo Ling had already knocked on the door and entered the study.
But half a cup of tea later, he came out.
Chang He raised his eyebrows: "Why, have you figured it out?"
Bo Ling frowned and said, "Your Highness told me to get out."
Changshu burst into laughter after hearing this:
"You really are! There are so many items like this in the palace, and they're not the most precious. How would His Highness know about them? Changhe deliberately said this to lure you in, you fool!"
Bo Ling was furious and chased Chang He and kicked him.
Days passed, and Bo Ling no longer held out hope, but hope seemed to be coming quietly again.
When Bo Ling went out and returned to the East Palace, he saw a carriage disappearing from the corner. Ah, it was the girl's carriage!
"Changhe, whose carriage is that?"
Bo Ling had a feeling that he would be able to figure it out this time, but Chang He turned and walked away:
"You are going back to your hometown and are no longer considered a member of our Eastern Palace. Why should I tell you?"
Houses in the capital are too expensive, and the master of the East Palace is a very cunning person. Bo Ling thinks it would be better for him to return to the village.
So he handed in his resignation.
Bo Ling immediately said, "That's not true. I'm just not used to it. Tell me now, tell me now!"
Changhe was so annoyed by him that he left Princess Ju Zhaohua's carriage and walked away quickly.
Changshu appeared out of nowhere, and he was more humane than his younger brother.
"Princess Zhaohua is your highness's biological sister."
Bo Ling's world collapsed.
It's a princess, he will never have a chance in this life.
"Changshu, if I want to..."
Changshu said simply: "You are dreaming."
Bo Ling: ...
"Is there really no chance at all?" He tried to find a way.
Changshu thought for a moment and said, "I think he became the top scholar or the second best scholar. That's what storytellers say."
"But His Highness has already let you go. You won't have any chance after you leave the Eastern Palace... You won't even be able to see him in person."
Bo Ling listened silently, and then an idea came to his mind.
He won't leave. He will die in the East Palace in this life.
Life is life, we are born to work.
Mom, don't worry about your son.
Bo Ling wrote on the letter and then released the white dove.
After watching the white dove fly away, he turned and went to the study. As long as he could stay, he was willing to sell himself and work like a slave.
And so, Bo Ling stayed in the Eastern Palace.
The first thing he did every day when he got up was to pray that Gu Yu would come to the East Palace.
But two years passed and she didn't come.
During this period, he also learned some inside information and the reason for the estrangement between the brother and sister.
But Bo Ling was very optimistic. He felt that sooner or later they would meet again, and when the time came he would definitely seize the opportunity to express his feelings.
Even if she doesn't accept it, I will die without regrets.
He thought that day would be far away, but it happened at the beginning of the new year, not long after the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace got married.
Gu Yu came to visit.
But the other party was indifferent and left without giving him a chance to explain.
