Chapter 199 (I said)
The atmosphere seemed to suddenly thicken.
Gu Chaochao stood stiffly for a moment, and silently pulled his fingers back. The hot and humid feeling when his fingertips came out of his mouth seemed to prolong the time he had drawn out indefinitely.
After a long time, she finally broke away completely, pulling the corners of her lips to reveal an embarrassing smile.
"Does it still hurt?" Shen Mu was deep and still as usual.
Gu Chaochao glanced at the small wound on his finger: "It doesn't hurt anymore."
Shen Mu responded with a deep response, then turned to look at the peppers on the table: "I'll fry this dish." The
topic was too natural, and Gu Chaochao was relieved . : "You can't, I'll just come."
After that, she was going to get a knife, but Shen Mushen stopped it directly.
Gu Chaochao had no choice but to instruct him to fry the last dish. Shen Mushen followed her instructions step by step. Although he was a little rusty, he didn't make any major mistakes. After a quarter of an hour, the two of them entered the house with the dishes.
"Dengdeng! This is the twenty-seventh birthday gift I gave you." Gu Chaochao stood in front of the table with a smile, and there was a faint smell of oil smoke on his body.
A smile flashed in Shen Mu's deep eyes: "Thank you, I like it very much."
"Sit down quickly, it's going to be cold." Gu Chaochao urged.
Shen Mu answered and picked up the chopsticks, tasted every dish under her expectant eyes, and finally nodded, "It's delicious."
"No matter what I do, you say it's delicious." Gu Chaochao slanted him at a glance.
Shen Mu smiled deeply and did not deny it.
The two chatted for a while, and then Gu Chaochao took out a small wooden box from his arms: "This is also one of the gifts."
"And a gift?" Shen Mushen was really surprised this time, after all, the person who served her didn't mention it. pass.
Gu Chaochao was quite proud when he saw his expression: "I'm hiding it on purpose."
Shen Mu took the box with a deep smile, opened it, and saw that it was a fringe.
"Although it's not very good, but compared to the one on your body, it can still be seen," Gu Chaochao said, looking at the jade pendant around his waist, "such a good jade, it always looks like an old tassel."
Shen Mushen followed her line of sight, and saw that the tassels on the jade pendant had long been ragged, and there were still some places where the thread was tangled, whether it was with the jade pendant or the robe, it seemed out of place.
"This ear is originally on the jade pendant, and I have never changed it." Shen Mushen replied.
Gu Chaochao clicked his tongue: "When I gave you the jade pendant, I didn't expect you to like it so much. If I knew it earlier, I would have found a better piece for you."
"This piece is very good." The nine-year-old jade pendant was removed from the body and handed to Gu Chaochao, who walked forward, "Chaochao put it on for me."
Gu Chaochao took it with a smile, untied the tassels on the jade pendant, tied it to his head, and turned his head. Just throw away the old one.
Shen Mushen quickly took it away: "Why lose it."
"It's useless to keep it." Gu Chaochao was at a loss.
Shen Mu pursed his lips deeply: "I want to keep it."
He said so, but Gu Chaochao didn't insist any longer. He talked with him while eating, and when dinner was almost finished, it was time to talk about business. .
Gu Chaochao carefully looked at his expression, and after confirming that he was in a very good mood at the moment, he slowly said, "Mushen."
"Huh?" Shen Mushen raised his head.
"On the second day of November, you will be assassinated, you must be very careful." Gu Chaochao quickly said what he had held back all night.
Shen Mushen's face flashed an obvious stun, and his face darkened instantly after he reacted: "I can't say for sure..."
"I know, you are not allowed to reveal the secret, I promise it will be the last time, and I will definitely not in the future. I will." Gu Chaochao hurriedly vowed.
Shen Mushen didn't listen, turned away with a cold face, Gu Chaochao quickly followed: "What are you doing?"
"With a pair of fearless, forget about tonight's events." Shen Mushen was expressionless.
Gu Chaochao had known him for so long, and he still knew the names of some of the prescriptions. Hearing him say Wuweisan, his eyes widened: "Isn't that the kind of medicine that will drive people crazy if you take too much?
" Some memories," Shen Mushen kept walking, "As long as I forget it, it won't count as you revealing the secret."
Gu Chaochao became anxious: "How do you know if the weight is appropriate? You are not allowed to go!"
Shen Mushen not only refused to listen , but increased the speed.
Seeing that he was about to leave the yard, Gu Chaochao was immediately annoyed: "Shen Mushen, stop me!"
Shen Mushen still walked out.
"Stop for Ben Gong!" Gu Chaochao came before him for the first time, calling himself Ben Gong.
Shen Mushen stopped abruptly and turned to look at her after a long time. The red blood in his eyes was clearly visible: "You are not the queen now."
"You also know that I am not the queen?" Gu Chaochao walked towards him with a stern face. "My only identity now is that of you, Shen Mushen. If you insist on forgetting about the assassination and don't make any preparations, what situation do you think I will be in if I die?"
Shen Mushen He lowered his eyes and refused to look at her.
Gu Chaochao took a deep breath: "Besides, my death had nothing to do with revealing the secret at all. If you forced these two things together because you were worried that I would die, that would be a big mistake.
" , she slowed down, "What's more, I came back for you. If you die, even if your enemies don't do anything, I won't live alone."
Shen Mu was stunned, and finally she was willing to look at her. .
"So instead of worrying about the secrets, you might as well find a way to live for a long time, you know?" Gu Chaochao's eyes were gentle, like looking at a child with a tantrum.
Shen Mushen stared at her for a long time before lowering his eyes.
Gu Chaochao knew that he had been persuaded, he smiled and held his hand as he walked into the room, when he was halfway there, he suddenly remembered something: "I shouted so loudly just now that no one will hear me, right?"
"No. , there is no one in the courtyard." Shen Mu replied absentmindedly. Every time he returned to his residence, those who served would leave one after another. Now that he has been back for so long, those people should have also left.
Gu Chaochao was not at ease, he stuck his head out of the room to inspect the circle, and he was relieved after confirming that there was no one outside.
"There are still some meals, let's finish them." She glanced at the table.
Shen Mu responded in a low voice, then sat down at the table, lowered his head and ate without saying a word.
Gu Chaochao stared at him for a long time, and finally said melancholy: "I should wait until after your birthday." She only thought about having a happy birthday, but he might not be so angry, but he forgot that a birthday only happens once a year. A good day should not be ruined.
Hearing the guilt in her words, Shen Mu pursed her lips: "It's my fault, you're good for me, but I lose my temper."
"When you say that, it seems to be the same." Gu Chaochao nodded solemnly.
Shen Mushen: "..."
Gu Chaochao couldn't hold back his joy when he saw his expression.
Shen Mushen also smiled, but the worry in his heart only increased.
In the blink of an eye, it was time to rest, Gu Chaochao went to the bed to lie down, Shen Mushen also laid the floor, and turned off the lights after she lay down.
Gu Chaochao fell asleep quickly, but Shen Mushen didn't feel sleepy at all, lying on the ground quietly and counting her breaths.
Maybe it was because the floor was too soft, or because the environment was too quiet, and he got sleepy after counting for a while. However, Shen Mushen refused to sleep, so she kept her spirits up, and every time she couldn't restrain her eyes from closing her eyes, she would hold on to her palms, relying on pain to wake herself up.
He stayed up all night like this, and when the first ray of sunlight entered the room in the morning, he got up and looked at the person on the bed.
did not disappear.
He chuckled lightly, went to the screen and changed his clothes before going on duty. He called a palace maid to follow Gu Chaochao during the day, and at night, he repeated what he had done the night before.
After repeating for a few days, Gu Chaochao only felt that Shen Mushen's complexion was getting worse and worse, and his spirit was getting worse and worse. Occasionally, he could fall asleep while talking to her, as if he was extremely tired.
"How is Chaotang lately?" Another time during dinner time, she asked with a frown as she looked at the dark blue under Shen Mushen's eyes.
Shen Mu looked up at her deeply: "It's nothing, why did you suddenly think of asking this?"
"Are you bored, I want to hear you talk about external matters." Gu Chaochao chuckled, but his heart became more and more doubtful, there was nothing in Chaotang, He also counts down on time every day, why does he look so tired?
When he was distracted, Shen Mushen suddenly said, "Do you still want soup?"
Gu Chaochao returned to his senses, glanced at the bowl he had emptied, and couldn't help laughing: "Today's soup is very delicious, so I couldn't help it. Take two more sips."
Shen Mu raised his lips and took the empty bowl of soup from her hand.
Gu Chaochao's eyes were sharp, and he immediately saw the pinch mark in his right hand, and immediately grabbed his wrist: "What's wrong with your hand?
" I accidentally bumped into something."
"Nonsense, I didn't touch it at all," Gu Chaochao frowned and pulled his hand over again. He felt distressed when he saw the different shades of traces, "Why are you pinching yourself?"
Shen Twilight pursed her lips.
But Gu Chaochao refused to let him fool him easily: "Also, why are you getting more and more tired recently?"
Shen Mushen still didn't speak.
Seeing this, Gu Chaochao was immediately annoyed, and stood up directly: "Shen Mushen! You can't talk about it!"
Before he finished speaking, a few palace servants came in to deliver the cakes. Hearing Gu Chaochao scolding Zhang Yin with his first and last name, he was immediately frightened. kneel down.
Gu Chaochao didn't expect that someone would suddenly come at this time. It would be difficult to ride a tiger for a while. Let's continue to attack. I'm afraid that if he gets his son in front of so many people, it will damage the majesty of his paw print. It would be too useless to stop halfway through.
She frowned when she was in a dilemma, but Lord Palmyra, who usually covered the sky with one hand, suddenly grabbed her hand and calmed down, "Don't be angry, I said."
Gu Chaochao: "..."
