Xie Ruotong frowned.

I was still a little unhappy.

Gu Xingchuan continued, "Did you see the little girl An Youyou of the Emperor's arms? She is the woman's daughter."

"Are they all so easy to replace?" Xie Ruotong asked Gu Yukikawa, with sarcasm.

"Before I saw that woman, I felt that people could not be replaced, but after seeing her, I understood the emperor a little." Gu Yukikawa said, "Except for the fact that her face was not similar, the others felt almost exactly the same, and I almost admitted my mistake."

"So it can be replaced?" Xie Ruotong still couldn't understand.

"I also advised the emperor not to bring the woman back. That woman actually rejected the emperor, but the emperor seemed to be unable to let go." Gu Xingchuan sighed, "Forget it, let's not talk about his affairs, I'm in a hurry."

Xie Ruotong smiled, obviously Gu Xingchuan was also contradictory.

After being with the emperor for many years, perhaps he had an understanding of the emperor and had more tolerance for what he did, but when he thought of Ye Qichi, that tolerance would become very uncomfortable. So, he simply stopped thinking about it.

"You really don't plan to get married?" Gu Yukigawa changed the subject.

"Are you planning to get married?" Xie Ruotong asked back.

"What, can you fall in love with me?" Gu Yukikawa joked.

Xie Ruotong suddenly fell silent.

She said slowly, "If it were you, I think I should be acceptable."

"..." Gu Yukikawa widened his eyes.

Xie Ruotong smiled, "Are you scared?"

"Somewhat." Gu Yukikawa didn't hide it and said bluntly, "If you insist on marrying me, I don't seem to be able to refuse. For the sake of..."

"For Ye Qichi's sake," Xie Ruotong answered.

Koo Yukikawa nodded.

"Don't worry, I have no inappropriate thoughts about you, don't worry." Xie Ruotong said bluntly, "I just think that you can actually consider your personal problems. I don't believe that your parents didn't urge you."

"I always feel that I will live alone in this life, as if it is fate." Gu Xingchuan said lightly, "I know very well that I can't fall in love with anyone except Ye Qichi."

"The vision is too high." Xie Ruotong commented.

"Maybe." Gu Yukikawa smiled and returned to the topic, "Aren't you talking about your marriage? The emperor has arranged a blind date for you in person."

"Just go through the motions."

"Song Yanqing is actually good, I have been waiting for you for many years." Gu Xingchuan finally talked about the topic.

Today, when he went to attend the palace banquet, the emperor summoned him in advance and asked him to match Xie Ruotong and Song Yanqing.

The emperor is still somewhat selfish about Song Yanqing.

I also know that most of the reason Song Yanqing stayed in the palace for so many years was because of Xie Ruotong.

In fact, he had no bad impression of Song Yanqing.

In the five years of assisting the emperor in managing the government affairs, he often discussed state affairs. The emperor would summon him and Song Yanqing to the palace alone. Even if Song Yanqing made it clear that he would not participate in the affairs of the court, he would express his views and opinions when the emperor really called him. Deep down, he actually admired Song Yanqing's talent. The top scholar in the current academic field is not a false reputation.

Moreover, Song Yanqing is neither fighting nor robbing, and is indifferent to fame and fortune.

Such people generally don’t have any bad intentions.

So the emperor asked him to persuade Xie Ruotong, but he did not refuse.

Although Song Yanqing is still seriously deficient in appearance and his body is weaker than ordinary people. He can always hear him and his endurance coughing sounds, after all, compared to a person's appearance, character is naturally more important.

"I will never be able to do anything with him." Xie Ruotong said frankly, speaking very firmly, without leaving a trace of retreat for herself.

"Do you don't love anymore? Or are you too hateful?" asked Koyukikawa.

Xie Ruotong frowned.

Obviously I don’t want to talk about Song Yanqing.

"I actually talked to Song Yanqing in private." Gu Xingchuan said, "I will see you occasionally in the palace after all."

"So you're going to say good things to him."

"Of course I choose you and Song Yanqing. I just didn't intend to know something about you and Song Yanqing's past, and something you might not know." Gu Xingchuan said bluntly.

"I'm not interested in knowing."

"If you really have no feelings for this person, you won't be so repulsive."

"..." Xie Ruotong looked at Gu Xingchuan.

"Anyway, just have a drink, just chat." Koyukikawa had a gentle tone, but his attitude was firm.

Xie Ruotong chose to remain silent.

Gu Xingchuan also knew that Xie Ruotong would not usually refuse him.

So the emperor always knew wisely who would use to do what.

Gu Xingchuan took a sip of wine and said, "When Song Yanqing married you, he firmly wanted to marry your sister Xie Ruilin. It was just because he mistakenly regarded Xie Ruilin as his savior back then. He gave him all the promises of his savior, so he would be so repulsive to you and protect Xie Ruilin so much."

Xie Ruotong smiled.

Gu Xingchuan looked at her smile and knew that Xie Ruotong was actually not easy to persuade.

"I'm looking for excuses." Xie Ruotong said sarcastically, "What did Song Yanqing tell you?"

"He won't lie, I believe in his character." Gu Yukikawa rarely affirms a person like this.

Even the emperor has never determined this way.

Of course, it is because I have some deep-rooted repulsion towards the emperor.

But in the end.

People identified by Gu Xingchuan are generally not too bad.

Xie Ruotong pursed her lips lightly and did not refute.

"And he didn't tell me on purpose. Once I came out of the emperor's bedroom with him. When dinner was right, I came together and had dinner. I sat in this position. After he got drunk, he said that he must have been holding it in for many years, many years, and never told anyone." Gu Yukikawa explained, "That night was probably because he really couldn't hold it in, because he said that that day happened to be the day when the child in your belly was slimming. That day, he was the loneliest and most desolate look I've ever seen!"

Xie Ruotong is still indifferent.

She almost forgot that she once gave birth to a child for Song Yanqing.

There are many things she doesn't want to remember again, and she will make herself no longer remembered.

"And he really knew nothing about your grandmother's death." Gu Xingchuan said, "He said that if he knew in advance, even if he turned against the King of Chu in the end, he would not let the King of Chu frame your grandmother."

Xie Ruotong's eyes were a little red.

It was not because of Song Yanqing's everything, but because she remembered her grandmother.

"When you ask about the whereabouts of the King of Chu, he will not tell you that it is not just loyal to the King of Chu. If you really insist on knowing that he can violate all his beliefs, dignity and conscience and be a traitor. But he gritted his teeth and did not say it, just because he was afraid that you would pursue the Northern Mu Kingdom desperately for revenge. Once you step into the border of the Northern Mu Kingdom, you will definitely go without a return!"

In fact, Song Yanqing is still quite miserable.
