If he could give up, he wouldn't be like this now, and Su Rong wouldn't be able to come to him.
In his life, he could have a long and lasting relationship with anyone, but Su Rong, he didn't want to have anything to do with her.
Her path forward is beneficial to her, so she doesn't have to stop it, but he can make the decision for his path forward.
He stood up, walked to Su Rong, knelt down, looked up at her, his voice was very soft, but his face was stubborn, "Even if everyone thinks that I should not live up to my origin and grandfather, Taifu Qin
, the prince’s training for me, I should go on the Qingyun Road, the smooth road, be crowned king and prime minister, and be famous in history. Even you think that it is right for me to live such a planned life, for myself and for the protector of the country.
The government is for the country of Daliang and the people of Daliang. I used to think there was nothing wrong with this. It would avoid detours and lead a smooth life, which many people dream of. But who made me meet you? I met you..."
Zhou Gu paused for a moment, his eyes were full of color, and his voice was hoarse, "When I met you, I couldn't help but think about what you think and think about what you think. I have seen all the thousands of things and colors in this world.
I can't see, I can only see you. At first, I didn't feel too uncomfortable when you abandoned me, but gradually, my heart was scratched by hundreds of claws, scorched by fire, and tortured to the extreme. Afterwards, I realized that my heart was extremely empty and I couldn't throw it away.
I can't let go, unless my heart is torn out. I tried, and during this period of time, I not only can't let go, but I miss you more and more day and night. Compared with a planned life where I can see the way ahead.
, compared to the dullness of life without you, I want to be with you, even if everything is unknown, even if, as you said, swords and swords rain, and death is not far away, I will be happy to do so."
Su Rong moved the corners of her mouth, wanting to say something.
Zhou Gu stretched out his hand to stop her and said softly: "Listen to me! You want to say that the time is too short, right? But I know in my heart that it has nothing to do with the length of time. I can't let you go. Even if I can't let you go, there's nothing I can do. You guys
They all feel that I am giving up a great future, but how do I know that I am not giving myself a new life? I can’t say I like the path my grandfather chose for me. The name that goes down in history is just the name recorded in the historical archives. I am highly praised.
There is also admiration. But they are who they are. As far as I am concerned, if I were to focus on myself, I would spend my whole life. What others see as grand and magnificent may be nothing more than dull and tasteless to me."
Su Rong pursed her lips.
Su Rong nodded, "Then let's make jujube tea!"
Su Rong glanced at him.
Su Rong drank jujube tea, feeling warm and comfortable in her stomach. She asked Zhou Gu, "When will we leave? You lied to me earlier, saying you were going to Nanping."
Su Rong let go of him and said to him: "I promise you."
Zhou Gu whispered: "It's not that bad, my grandmother and my mother are here, and my grandmother is very powerful."
Zhou Gu immediately said: "But my grandmother and my mother know."
She looked at Zhou Gu and said, "You're right. I didn't give you a chance to break off the engagement. It's my fault. I shouldn't be the only one to act arbitrarily. It's unfair to you. Besides, I am also responsible for making you fall in love with me."
Zhou Gu looked up at her with serious eyes, "Su Rong, give me a chance, okay? You didn't give me a chance to say no to the engagement. I accepted it and backed it off. Now I can't let you go, no."
Please choose me again for Ye Guixue's marriage. I only want you. Don't stop me from going to Nanchu. If one day you fall in love with Ye Guixue, I will stay far away from you and never see you again in this life.
At that time, even if I can't do it, I still have to do it. I swear, you believe me."
Zhou Gu immediately said: "Don't drink this tea. I'll have someone make jujube tea for you. You don't look good. Have you not had enough rest in the past two days?"
Zhou Gu stretched out his hand to stop her, "It's still early, why don't you stay a little longer? I have Nan Chu's files here, do you want to read them?"
Zhou Gu had been squatting for a long time and his legs were a little numb. He was pulled up by Su Rong and managed to stand firmly while holding on to the table.
It was quiet in the house.
Zhou Gu replied to her again, "My grandfather will take me to the palace to report to His Majesty about my travels. If nothing happens, I will set off in no more than three or two days."
Zhou Gu stopped talking and looked at her.
Su Rong nodded. Indeed, if everything in Daliang was in chaos, the prince would have no time to care about her.
Su Rong clicked her tongue and put down the tea cup, "I'm leaving."
Su Rong looked at Zhou Gu silently.
"I have read the files you borrowed from His Highness the Crown Prince." Su Rong glanced at the sky and saw that it was indeed still early.
Su Rong laughed angrily, "If you can't clap with one hand, stop throwing a bunch of bad words at yourself."
"I'm not lying. I want to go to Nanping, first to Nanping, then to northern Hebei, and then to Nanchu." Zhou Gu said in a low voice: "Anyway, you said that you won't leave for a while, so I won't leave for a while.
If you are not in a hurry to go to Southern Chu, first deal with the Marquis of Nanping in Nanping and General Zhang Ping in Pingxi in Northern Hebei. After solving the potential hidden dangers in Daliang, you can also rely on Daliang's help in Nanchu. Otherwise, the internal affairs of Daliang will be uneven.
, there is no way to interfere with the many supports Nanchu has given you."
Su Rong did not comment on the fact that the eldest princess Sheng'an and the Duke's wife had no limit to doting on their children, because the eldest wife also doted on her in the same way, "If the old Duke knew your plan, I'm afraid he would be angry to death."
Zhou Gu wanted to twitch the corner of his mouth, but in the end he didn't make a move. He said softly: "I don't blame you, it's not your responsibility. It's my small-mindedness and narrow-mindedness that keeps pestering you."
Su Rong raised an eyebrow, "You have such a big idea, does the old man know?"
After a while, Su Rong grabbed Zhou Gu and said, "Get up."
She directed Zhou Gu, "My tea is cold and I can't drink it."
Zhou Gu immediately gave instructions.
Zhou Gu shook his head, "I don't know."
Midnight had been waiting outside, and after hearing the words, he responded and hurried away. After a while, he brought a pot of date tea, took a secret look at Su Rong and Zhou Gu, and found that they were not in trouble, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He retreated numbly again.
"If he is the woman he asked you to find in Jiangning County, it should be me." Su Rong said, "I am his savior."
Zhou Gu has always wanted to ask her about this, "How did you meet His Highness the Crown Prince? Is the woman His Highness the Crown Prince asked me to find you?"
Zhou Gu suddenly realized that no wonder the prince later sent a message telling him that he didn't need to look for it. It turned out that he had already found it at that time.
Su Rong briefly explained how she saved the prince and how the prince's people found her through Aunt Zhao.
Zhou Gu nodded and whispered: "That's it."
Some things suddenly became clear at this moment. He thought that no wonder when he first returned to the capital from Jiangning County, the prince talked to him, and there was something wrong with his words. It turned out that at that time, he was probably hoping that he would not like Su Rong to regret the marriage.
Right? But he didn't expect that Su Rong would cancel his engagement and soon engaged Ye Guixue.
