Zhou Gu galloped back to the Duke Protector's Mansion with a feeling 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 took 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 would go to Duke Cheng's Mansion to join in the fun. He just left and came back so soon, and with such a look, he was afraid that something would happen again.
His grandson used to be the one who didn't like to come near him when nothing happened. He couldn't find anyone else even if he wanted to, but now it's good that he can be found every day. But he wanted to hide out, not happy to see him.
"Grandfather." Zhou Gu stood in front of the old Protector, blocking a shadow.
The old Protector sighed inwardly, "You brat, 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 hadn't heard 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 also thought, why is it impossible? Su Rong is the princess of Nan Chu, and Ye Guixue is the second son of Ye Xiangfu. If Su Rong goes to Nan 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 generations of empresses 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 private agreement, nor was it a marriage contract. I am afraid that he came with the royal order of the King of Nanchu, and also conquered With the consent of Prime Minister Ye, the King of Nanchu wants to win back his daughter, and Prime Minister Ye's Mansion is loyal to King Nan Chu, but it needs this rope to tie it up. After all, it is dangerous to seize power, and Prime Minister Ye's Mansion does not want to be ruined. The so-called high risk must be combined with high risk. The rewards are equal, so Lord Ye Guixue, this is the agreement reached between the King of Nanchu 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 up 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?" Consultant Zhou said: "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, are you going to Nanchu to become the royal husband? Even if you go, compared to Ye Guixue and Nanchu Ye Xiangfu, what can you do to help Su Rong? Don't tell me that you have the backing of the Protector's Palace. In Nanchu's territory, the beams are thousands of miles away, and our Protector's Palace cannot reach in or get in enough. And Su Rong may not be willing for you to do anything for him, otherwise she would not 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 marriage. 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, how can you not be 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 now, and his mind would be buzzing at that moment. , he almost hated himself for being too smart. He couldn't stay 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 he couldn't do it. He was afraid that he would draw his sword. , because he knew that he had no position to draw the 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 all without him having to say it. He knew the path he wanted to take 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. Between the grandfather and grandson, one was silent, and the other was extremely decadent, as silent as death.
After a long time, Zhou Gu finally spoke in a hoarse voice, "Let me try it!"
Try to imitate Su Rong, she can be decisive and decisive, why can't he?
