Zhou Gu galloped back to the Protector's Mansion, feeling a sense of depression in his heart that would not dissipate no matter what.
He went directly to the old Protector.
The old protector of the country leisurely moved the books out of the study to dry in the sunny weather. In late autumn, near noon, the sun was still strong, the wind was not strong at this time, and the weather was not too cold. He had several military books.
No one was allowed to move, so I held it and spread it out under the window to dry in the sun, then sat under the window and stared at it myself.
Seeing Zhou Gu rushing in with a gloomy look, the old Protector raised his eyes and saw his ugly face.
The old Protector had a headache, thinking that he had gone to Duke Cheng's Mansion to join in the fun, but he had just gone and came back so soon, and with such a look, he was afraid something might happen again.
His grandson used to be the one who didn't like to get close to him when nothing happened. He couldn't find anyone else even if he wanted to, but now it's good that he can see him and look for him every day. But he wants to hide away and is not happy to see him anymore.
.
"Grandfather." Zhou Gu stood in front of the old Protector, blocking a shadow.
The old Protector sighed inwardly, "You bastard, you're blocking the sunlight."
Zhou Gu stood still and said, "I have something to tell you."
The old Protector wanted to say, "Wait until I finish showing the books." But seeing Zhou Gu standing in front of him like a wooden stake and showing off all the books, he didn't trust others, so he simply packed up the books and put them away.
Take him back to the study.
After closing the door of the study room, the old Protector put the books away, turned around, glanced at Zhou Gu, sat down, and said, "Let's talk!"
Zhou Gu looked at him, "If Su Rong is engaged to Ye Guixue, what should I do?"
The old Protector was stunned.
Zhou Gu suspected that he didn't hear clearly and said again, "Grandpa, if they have a marriage contract, what do you think I should do?"
The old protector opened his mouth and wanted to say it was impossible, but he thought, what is impossible? Su Rong is the princess of Southern Chu, and Ye Guixue is the second son of the Prime Minister of Ye. If Su Rong goes to Southern Chu to seize power, it will definitely happen.
The Ye family cannot be circumvented. The Ye family's power in Southern Chu is not as strong as that of the relatives of the two queens of the Nangong family, but it cannot be underestimated. Su Rongruo marries Ye Guixue, no, Ruo Ye Guixue is the master.
possible.
On the contrary, this will allow Su Rong to gain the support of the Ye family, and the road to seizing power will be much smoother.
So, he was silent for a while.
Zhou Gu stared at the old Duke Protector, "As soon as I stepped into the living room of Duke Cheng's mansion today, I heard Ye Guixue tell Yan Li and Yan Lin that his father had sent a letter today and had arranged a marriage for him.
After he returns to Southern Chu, the King of Southern Chu will grant him a marriage."
He sarcastically said, "Today is the day. Grandpa, do you think this is true? Isn't it possible that he and Su Rong have reached some agreement and used the marriage contract as a deal?"
The old Protector finally spoke, "Did he really say that?"
"Um."
The old Protector was silent for a moment, "If he said that, he should be right. But it must not have been some agreement reached in private, nor was it a transaction with a marriage contract. I am afraid that he came with the royal order of the King of Southern Chu, and also conquered
With Ye Xiang's agreement, the King of Nan Chu wants to win back his daughter, and the Ye Xiang Mansion is loyal to the King of Nan Chu, but it needs to be tied to death with this rope. After all, seizing power is dangerous, and the Ye Xiang Mansion doesn't want to be ruined. The so-called high risk is necessary with high risk.
The rewards are equal, so Lord Ye Guixue, this is the agreement reached between the King of Southern Chu and Ye Xiang, for Ye Guixue to be the future king's husband."
Zhou Gu's face was dark, his eyes were dark, and he was full of depression. At this moment, he seemed to be about to burst. He asked the old protector again, his voice was extremely hoarse, "Isn't it really my illusion?
Grandpa, what should I do?"
The old Protector looked at Zhou Gu and couldn't answer for a while.
Zhou Gu stared at him closely, "I should just let go, give up on Su Rong, break off the engagement involuntarily, and now even my heart is going to die, should I take it back?"
After all, with his upbringing, he couldn't think about someone else's fiancée and stayed awake all night, tossing and turning.
The old Protector sighed deeply and said helplessly: "Take it back!"
"If a person can be the master of his heart, then how can he still have so many hearts that he can't help but control and can't help himself?" Consultant Zhou: "Grandpa, do you think I can do it?"
"If you can't do it, you have to do it." The old protector said in a serious tone, "Brother Gu, do you want to go to Nanchu to be the prince's husband? Even if you go, compared to Ye Guixue, compared to Nanchu Ye Prime Minister's Mansion,
What can you do to help Su Rong? Don't tell me that you have the backing of the Protector's Office. In Nanchu's territory, the beams are thousands of miles away, and our Protector's Office cannot reach in or get in enough. As for Su Rong,
She may not be willing to let you do anything for him, otherwise she wouldn’t just decisively break off the engagement with you without discussing it with you.”
Zhou Gu's body stiffened, his expression a little bit dejected and helpless.
The old protector of the country naturally felt sorry for his grandson, and said: "Don't do anything you regret, and don't do anything impulsive. Grandpa regrets it now. He shouldn't have chosen you to be engaged to Su Rong, but Zhou Che should have been chosen. This is also true.
That's all. If I had known that the Queen of Nanchu had sent people to Jiangning County to kill that little girl many years ago, I shouldn't have kept my promise to Zhenmin and should have taken the initiative to regret the engagement. And I shouldn't have sent you to Jiangning in person.
What kind of relationship did Jun and Su Rong develop? The so-called wrong step, wrong step after step, made you fall into it."
The old Protector regretted it too late, and said sincerely and sincerely: "Brother Gu, can't you imitate that little girl Su Rong? You are a man, are you not as good as a daughter? She can be so decisive and decisive.
, you can too."
Zhou Gu wanted to say "I can't". If I could, I would have been able to do it as early as the day Su Rong broke off the engagement. He wouldn't have heard Ye Guixue's words and his head was buzzing at that moment.
, he almost hated himself for being too smart. He couldn't wait for a moment, and he couldn't do anything like normal people. He went inside, met each other with Ye Guixue, greeted each other politely, and said hello to each other. He couldn't do it. He was afraid that he would draw his sword.
, because he knows that he has no position to draw his sword.
He fell silent, and his whole body seemed to be drained of energy. For a moment, he felt extremely depressed.
The old protector couldn't bear to look at him. No matter how much he said now, what was the use? Because Zhou Gu knew what he wanted to say and what he had been taught since childhood. He understood and understood it without him having to say it.
He knows the road better than anyone else.
But understanding clearly is one thing. In the past, it was not difficult for him to do it. Now the only mistake is Su Rong.
Therefore, the old protector regretted it, but it was of no use now. He could only hope that Zhou Gu would look away, but looking at him like this, he had no idea.
There was silence in the study room for a while. Among the two grandfathers and grandsons, one was silent, and the other was extremely decadent, as silent as death.
After a long time, Zhou Gucai said in a hoarse voice, "Let me try it!"
Try to imitate Su Rong, she can be decisive and decisive, why can't he?
