Chapter 243 His World
There was no need to waste words talking to Li Xiaoyu. Qing Liang felt relaxed, yet not relaxed.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "You are very similar to that brat in some ways."
Li Xiaoyu put his feet on the recliner, crossed his left leg over his right leg, and swayed his toes.
He asked two words lightly: "Is there?"
There are many things that the parties involved don’t realize, but as a bystander, Qing Liang sees them very clearly.
"You both know what you want, and you will go for it no matter what the cost. You are such a person, and he is also such a person."
Hearing this, Li Xiaoyu's eyes paused slightly.
"When he was a child, I brought him back to the valley to live for a few years. At that time, I was worried that he would be harmed after returning to the palace, so I found some ways to teach him how to protect himself. He learned very quickly."
Li Xiaoyu knew about this; they had talked about it in the kitchen that time.
"He was unwilling to do so at first, but I forced him to fight back. His mother didn't love him, his father passed away long ago, and his half brother became the emperor."
"Although I have never been to the palace again, there are patients from the palace. I heard from them that Gu Fei was locked in a dog cage after returning."
When Li Xiaoyu heard the word "dog cage", his heart skipped a beat.
Qing Liang didn't want to say these things, but he also had his own selfish motives. It was hard to find someone who was willing to devote himself to his eldest disciple.
He wanted to fight for Gu Fei.
"Just because he made a mistake in reciting a word, his so-called mother put him in jail."
"You also know that he is only gentle on the surface. He is not pretending to be gentle on purpose. It is his mother and the emperor who deliberately tamed him to behave like that."
"They want Gu Fei to be an obedient dog. He didn't volunteer to be in the Ministry of Justice, nor did he volunteer to guard the border."
"Whenever they can't handle something, they give it to Gu Fei to do, and they often give him a slap in the face and a sweet treat."
Thinking of these things, Qing Liang's eyes became moist.
He is not a noble person. Unfortunately, he lacks the ability to protect his own shortcomings.
Otherwise, he really wanted Gu Fei to stay in the valley for the rest of his life and never go back to that place where people were eaten without leaving any bones.
Li Xiaoyu felt as if a stone was pressing on his chest.
She puffed out her cheeks and exhaled heavily.
"So his hands and feet?"
Qing Liang sighed and said, "During the years of guarding the border, he may have come into contact with different customs and practices. This kid gradually developed his own ideas. His efforts to turn the tide have threatened them."
"No one loved him since he was little. Although he didn't show his mother's love, he longed for it in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't have been deceived into it."
Having said that, Qing Liang turned his head to look at her.
Seeing her staring at the mountain opposite with her eyes motionless, after hesitating for a long time, he finally told her the conversation she had with Gu Fei that day.
"I told him to be honest with you, but he said he didn't dare because you don't like complicated life."
"He said that since you don't want to go to his world, he can only come to your world."
As soon as these words came out, Li Xiaoyu was shocked.
She didn't know what was wrong with her nose, it felt like she smelled a pungent smell, so sour that she couldn't help but frown.
"As his master, I know that kid is extremely paranoid. I also know how scheming he is. His relationship with you is not honest either."
"You are alike, but you are not alike."
"No matter how difficult the road ahead is, you will always choose to live in the sunshine, while he will choose to hide in the bottomless dark corners because he is afraid of losing."
Qing Liang thought about it and felt that he had never asked anyone for help in his life.
No matter how old you are, you have to go through it once.
After a pause, he said in a hoarse voice: "I want to ask you to give Gu Fei a chance, just like the letter he left behind, so that he can learn how to be a qualified lover."
The kind voice was very gentle. After listening to it, Li Xiaoyu had only one voice in his mind.
His world...
He sat up from the recliner, put his hands in his arms, and remained silent for a moment, suppressing the soreness in his throat.
He replied calmly: "Master, let me think about it."
Qing Liang nodded. It would be best if he could ask for a chance for his apprentice. If not, he could only say that it was not destined to be together.
Unable to sleep outside, Li Xiaoyu picked up his small blanket and went back to his room.
She lay on the bed, staring at the beams.
The sentence "You don't want to go to his world, so he can only come to your world" kept circling in her mind like a movie replay.
He bit the flesh on his cheek gently and murmured, "His world..."
At the same time, the news that Gu Fei, who had hardly had any rest, was riding back to the imperial city at full speed reached Gu Lin's ears. The uncle Wang he had been thinking about for a long time had finally returned.
After finishing his study, Gu Lin ran to find him.
As soon as he entered the hall, he shouted enthusiastically: "Uncle Wang, you are finally back."
The next moment, a gust of wind blew.
In the blink of an eye, he was carried by Gu Fei with one hand to the desk, looking at a blank imperial edict placed on it.
Without waiting for him to ask curious questions, the man put him down and walked to the desk.
His index finger tapped a piece of letter paper on the table, and he said in a low voice without any ripples: "Copy it word for word, and then stamp it with the imperial seal."
Gu Lin glanced at the paper on the table, then looked at Uncle Wang with his unshaven beard.
He couldn't believe what Uncle Wang had experienced.
How could I get myself into such a... mess in just a few months?
The moment he peeked, Gu Fei frowned slightly and said in a colder tone: "Didn't you hear clearly?"
"I heard it clearly."
Uncle Wang is in a bad mood right now, so it’s better not to ask too many questions.
Before he came, Gu Fei had already ground the ink, dipped the brush in ink, and handed the brush to the little emperor.
After taking the brush, the little fellow took the paper to his side. He didn't even have time to think about what was written on the paper, and hurriedly copied it down.
As he was writing, a sentence caught his attention.
"Men cannot take concubines, but women can keep prostitutes. If a man takes a concubine, he will hang himself."
He paused for a moment and glanced at the beginning, which read: "Gu Fei, please grant..."
Just from these four words, he instantly understood who the person who committed suicide by hanging was referring to.
He looked up at the gloomy man in horror and called out cautiously, "Uncle Wang, you..."
Gu Fei knew what he was going to say and interrupted him coldly: "Continue copying, I'm in a hurry."
Meeting his uncle's cold eyes, the little emperor couldn't help but complain in his heart.
What kind of woman could make Uncle Wang suffer like this?
Humph, don’t wait until I meet you. When I do, I will definitely avenge Uncle Wang.
He was dissatisfied with Gu Fei in his heart, but he copied the documents obediently.
The moment the jade seal was pressed down, Gu Fei disappeared in the blink of an eye as if the wind was under his feet. Gu Lin was so anxious that he shouted behind him without caring about his image.
"Uncle Wang, when will you be back?"
When Gu Fei returned to the palace to get something, Old Han quickly followed.
Gu Fei was searching in the study, and he was busy persuading her: "My Lord, when will you come back? Your brothers have united and are planning to seize Shu first, and then regroup to seize the imperial power."
After stuffing everything he found into his bag, Gu Fei left the palace quickly after saying a few words.
"You take care of Gu Lin's homework, I will kill them."
