Forget love

  The night was deep and the people were quiet, the cold streets were even more desolate under the cold moonlight. Huajunzi flew over from the top of a civilian house, stopped at a high place to look around, but still didn't see the person he wanted to find, and somewhat annoyed, landed back on the ground.

  A man in a green robe stood in the shadows, his handsome face expressionless, his clear and cold gaze fixed on him. Huajunzi steeled himself to report: "Young Master Gu, we still can't find Young Master!"

  Gu Jing frowned, glared at him and stood still. After a while, someone ran over from another direction, it was Gu Jing's subordinate Tong Cheng. He didn't even bother to greet Hua Junzi, and reported to Gu Jing: "Your Highness, there is news from the Third Prince's side, no one has been caught!"

  Hua Junzi's stone fell to the ground, and he stared at Gu Jing with wide eyes, asking: "The young master didn't fall into the hands of the third prince, where will he go?"

  "Are you following him every day and still don't know where he likes to go the most?" Gu Jing scolded, also starting to get a headache.

  Hua Junzi went out and lost Chu Qingkuang, and then found that Chu Qingkuang's whistle had startled Wu Mingyuan, who came to search for him after a big commotion. Afraid that Chu Qingkuang would fall into Wu Mingyuan's hands and be unable to explain it to Chu Yun'an, he hastily ran to find Gu Jing, asking Gu Jing to think of a way to quickly find Chu Qingkuang.

  At the first reaction, Gu Jing wanted to slap Chu Qing a loud slap. What's going on here? In the capital city, under the bright sky, he deliberately exposed his martial arts skills, shocking and astonishing everyone. What does he want to do after all?

  Everyone was gone, and there was no one to fight. He had to let his men hurry out to find him, and he couldn't let him fall into Wu Mingyuan's hands. This wasn't just for his own sake, but also for the foundation they had established in the capital!

  Chu Qing's crazy move might not be a big deal if he was the only one who fell into the trap, but since Wu Mingyuan had actually figured out his true identity, the secrets of the wine house and the garden behind it would no longer be safe. Heaven knows what Wu Mingyuan would uncover along this line!

  Gu Cheng's only hope was to resolve the matter before Chu Qingchuan made a big mistake, otherwise, he didn't know how to plead with Chu Yun'an either.

  Despite his own illness, Gu Xing also personally joined the search party. However, soon after they set out, he discovered that things were more complicated than expected. Not only one side was searching for Chu Qingkong, but it seemed that even the people from the Six Paths of Reincarnation had been alerted.

  Now that the situation has become more serious, all six reincarnations are top-notch killers, and it goes without saying that they were definitely hired by Wu Mingyuan to take Chu Qingkuang's head.

  There was a rumor circulating on the road that Wu Mingyuan had hired an assassin with 100,000 gold coins. At that time, Gu Jing was still joking with Chu Qingcang, saying that his head was worth money! Chu Qingcang also boasted that the person who could take his head hadn't been born yet!

  So many assassins are now in action, if Chu Qingxiang knew about it, I don't know if he could still laugh.

  It wasn't long before Gu Jing discovered the commotion, some people were clearly looking for Chu Qingyan, but there were also others who were neither friends nor foes, and they were deliberately creating a mystery in the city, making it impossible to tell where Chu Qingyan had gone!

  Gu Cheng didn't know whether these people were helping Chu Qing or trying to gain benefits for themselves, so he could only order his subordinates to be careful and not expose himself again until the other party's purpose was clear.

  One night of turmoil, it seems that no one has gained an advantage. Upon hearing that Chu Qingchuan is not in Wu Mingyuan's hands, Gu Jing slightly relaxed, but where did this guy go? If he can't find him, he knows that no one will be able to sleep well tonight!

  After some thought, Gu Jing let Hua Junzi go back and take a look first. Perhaps Chu Qingxiao had already returned on his own. He stood under the eaves, suddenly thinking of a place, and took Tong Cheng to hurry over there.

  Ran to the streets near Xiao Fu, Gu Qing slowed down his pace, looked around quietly, and then pulled Tong Cheng up onto the rooftop of a high building to wait. Crouching on the rooftop, looking far away, he saw someone's shadow flickering near Xiao Fu. He sighed, hoping that Chu Qingkuang wouldn't be stimulated by lost love and lose his mind again, stupidly rushing back once more.

  He turned his head, looked east again, and Gu Jing only took a glance before freezing in place, his face flushing with rage, wanting to cough but suppressing it with a stifled hum, he pulled Tong Cheng along and first descended from the rooftop, dashing towards the east.

  From a distance, Chu Qingkuang was seen hugging a wine jar and staggering over. On this cold winter's day, he wore white clothes and had drunk to the point of being half-drunk. Gu Jing scanned around, wanting to find a bucket of ice water to directly douse him awake.

  But there was no ice water, so he could only walk up and grab his collar, and gave him a slap on the neck, knocking him unconscious.

  Tong Cheng rushed over, wanting to hold onto the fallen Chu Qingkuang, but Gu Jing just shook his head and picked up Chu Qingkuang in one motion, saying "Let's go back!" before turning around and heading towards the Fourth Prince's residence.

  He put Chu Qingcang on his own bed, and had Tong Cheng bring hot water over. Gu Jing helped Chu Qingcang wash his face clean and changed into a set of clean clothes before sitting down to rest. Staring at that handsome face which was sleeping completely unaware, he slowly covered his own face with both hands and closed his eyes.

  The worry of a whole day finally fell down when I saw him sleeping soundly in his own bed!

  Xiao Jiu, did you know that apart from being annoying, you've also committed another crime... aren't you very much in debt for a beating?

  Is it worth it for a woman?

  He tried to imagine what it would be like to love a woman, was that feeling good? Could it make the normally calm and collected Xiao Jiu so flustered?

  Whenever she is mentioned, Little Jiu's eyebrows dance with joy, her eyes filled with an irrepressible smile!

  When she saw him, Xiaojiao's eyes lit up, and her eyes couldn't hold anyone else!

  And losing her, Xiao Jiu ended up drinking like this... When was the last time he got drunk? In his impression, it seemed like it had never happened before!

  Is this what you call love?

  With a loud and resounding noise, it shocked the heavens and the earth. Regardless of his own safety, he took responsibility for his actions and proclaimed this point of view. This unbridled passion was something that would forever be beyond the reach of others!

  So he should do a good job as the fourth prince for him, and let him soar high in the free sky. They always need someone to sacrifice, should he use his sacrifice to perfect him?

  Gu Cheng's tears fell into his palm!

  Isn't that poison called 'Forget Love'? Won't be moved by any woman!

  The chess pieces should not leave their own descendants everywhere, otherwise they would confuse the true royal bloodline!

  All these years he really hasn't been moved by any woman! Living a life of simplicity and few desires, like a puppet...

  But why didn't anyone tell him that "forgetting emotions" could also make men immune to women, including or excluding them from the category of "emotions"?

  This isn't liking! At least it's not that kind of heart-moving like! Like Chu Qingcang likes Xiao Congrong that kind of like!

  Gu Cheng told himself desperately! His fingertips brushed against Chu Qing's sleeping face, struggling to resist the palpitations in his heart...

  This isn't about liking him! You're worried that he's just your junior, and if something happens to him, Master will blame you! Your anxiety is only because you're afraid something will happen to him related to the great cause, not because of personal feelings!

  This isn't love! This is an unscrupulous, inhumane emotion that defies heaven and earth. You've just been poisoned, and once you're detoxified, you'll realize what a joke you are. In fact, you never really liked him at all!

  ——(

  He is your only friend, and you are as close as liver and gallbladder, cherishing each other! You don't want him to be far away from you, so cut off such a sprout, just treat him as your friend, your beloved little brother! Don't do something that you will regret for the rest of your life...

  Gu Cheng struggled with internal conflict, and after a long while, he resolutely withdrew his hand, covered Chu Qingcang with the quilt, and turned to leave the bedroom.

  Back in the study, he turned on the light and sat under it. As he picked up the book, he saw that his hands were shaking. His heart ached vaguely, once or twice he could bear, but how many times could he still bear?

  "Infatuation!" Who the hell created this poison, shouldn't it have made me forget all worldly emotions? How come I only forgot the feeling of loving women?! Yet, I've developed feelings for someone of the same sex!

  He tried hard to think of Water Pearl, to think of all the women he knew, but found that they didn't even have the charm of a casual joke in his heart.

  It's hopeless! He sneered, wanting to rush to the underground palace and ask Chu Yun'an: Do you know that your medicine made me uninterested in women, but I'm interested in your reckless hope? Do you think you're successful or failed?

  I don't want to take medicine, Xiao Jiu thinks I'm afraid of bitterness, how does he know that I've actually given up on myself, I simply don't want to live, don't want to see him struggling in such a contradiction!

  I want to live normally, like someone I can like, if I can't do that, what's the difference between living and dying for me?

  The only thing I couldn't let go of was him...

  Gu Cheng looked at the package of black sesame sugar that he had carefully wrapped and placed on the table, but couldn't bear to eat it.

  Your persistence is the meaning of my existence, you need me, I live!

  When you stand at the pinnacle of power and gaze out over the world, or when I am gone!

  I have buried this feeling deep in my heart, just to complete your happiness. You must live well for yourself and for me!

  Gu Cheng smiled wryly and opened the sesame sugar, carefully eating each one before opening a history book beside him and studying it seriously.

  "Huai Nan area has been a place for migrants to move back and forth throughout history, many of whom formed tribes and were accustomed to war, forming armed groups to protect themselves in the midst of turmoil..."

  Gu Cheng thought that if these refugees were well-managed, they would become a potential armed force that could be utilized. In the past, the Northern Garrison's elite troops led by Xie Xuan and Liu Yu of the Eastern Jin Dynasty had repeatedly defeated strong enemies in the north, demonstrating such power...
