After the Cannon Fodder's Rebirth

Chapter 17

When Gu Chen arrived at the crown prince's mansion, He Ziming was lying in Hesheng's arms drunkenly, allowing him to stuff grapes into his mouth and feed him wine.

He Ziming saw Gu Chen with drunken eyes, and sneered sarcastically: "Oh, isn't this Mr. Gu? Didn't you say that you would never set foot in the Crown Prince's mansion again? Go to the Three Treasures Hall if you have nothing to do today. What gust of wind is blowing to you again... Could it be that one of your brothers has entered the prison again?"

Gu Chen learned of all the misunderstandings and truths between himself and He Ziming from other places, so he ran to the Crown Prince's mansion to find He Ziming to make everything clear.

But unexpectedly, he saw He Ziming hugging the fuse that caused their breakup to be affectionate.

As soon as Gu Chen saw He Sheng, he couldn't help thinking of the way he and He Ziming hugged each other naked that day.

"Your Highness, eat." Piansheng Hesheng didn't know what to say, and stuffed grapes into He Ziming's mouth as if on purpose.

He Ziming seemed to want to hurt him deeply, with a smile all over his face, he hugged the grape that Hesheng couldn't help but stuffed into his mouth through Hesheng.

Gu Chen rushed to the top of his head in a burst of annoyance, his face was extremely gloomy, and he wished he could directly step forward to separate the two of them.But thinking of his mistakes, he still endured it, trying to be nice to He Ziming: "Changfeng..."

"Presumptuous! Who is your name, Young Master Gu... Gu is the crown prince of the current dynasty, and you can call Gu's name whatever you want?" He Ziming looked at him fiercely, his eyes were so red that he could almost bleed.

He once wished so much that Gu Chen could sincerely call him Changfeng...

But now, Gu Chen called, but he didn't want it anymore.

Gu Chen stared at him fixedly, feeling like a knife was piercing his heart, completely unsure how to face He Ziming who treated him so indifferently.I had no choice but to grit my teeth, let go of all my reserve and dignity, walked up to He Ziming, took his hand, and persuaded him with nice words: "Changfeng, I know I was wrong... I really, really don't You should do that, you—you calm down first, let's talk..."

"Don't...don't want to mess with such a thing just to anger me, and spread the word to ruin your own reputation." He just wanted to go back to the past with He Ziming and live a good life two months ago. But I don't know what to do to get back to the past.

He knew that he was wrong, and He Ziming was taking revenge on him...

But he still felt that such revenge was unacceptable to him, and it hurt others and himself.

"To annoy you? Mr. Gu, where did you get so self-righteous that you think Gu and He Nu are together to annoy you? Your skin is thicker than the city wall, hahahaha~" He Ziming Standing up suddenly, staring at him viciously, but laughing loudly.

Seeing him like this, Gu Chen felt very uncomfortable: "Changfeng..."

"Let me tell you plainly, Mr. Gu, the reason why I'm with He Nu is not because I want to anger you, but because Gu likes him." But He Ziming pushed him away and hugged him After seeing He Nu, he looked at Gu Chen with red eyes and said, "I want to live with He Nu for the rest of my life!"

Gu Chen knew that he was angry with himself, but he still couldn't control himself and felt as sad as a blunt knife cutting flesh: "Changfeng, don't do this again, if you hurt me like this, you will hurt yourself..."

"So... such an actor from a lowly background who is willing to accompany anyone as long as he is paid, how can you like it?" He looked at He Nu's almost uncontrollable vicious words at each other.

He Nu humiliated him for no reason, his face suddenly became extremely ugly, and he shouted dissatisfiedly: "Your Highness—"

"Actor, what's the matter with you? From Gu's point of view, he is much better than Mr. Gu. At least as long as Gu gives him enough money and treats him well enough, he will never betray Gu, and he will never be able to do anything. Pretend to be another person in your heart, and join forces with others for certain purposes to cheat the person next to you! Mr. Gu... the number one son in the capital, he can't stand alone, figured it out, Gu is suitable for such an actor " He Ziming stepped forward, protecting He Nu behind his back: "Because Gu can be sure that he will never have the courage to betray Gu, and you—Gu Ziqing, you are still the childhood sweetheart He Zisheng who is on top of your heart. Let's go."

Gu Chen's voice was trembling and he was about to explain: "Changfeng, I'm not, listen to me explain me and Chang'an..."

He wanted to explain clearly the relationship between him and He Zisheng.

"You don't need to explain, Mr. Gu, I don't want to hear it." He Ziming didn't listen to his explanation at all, so he interrupted him directly: "There is no room for sand in Gu's eyes, and he can't tolerate people who have betrayed him. I will not put people who have betrayed me on my pillow, and be on guard day and night!"

"Gu Ziqing, we are finished, completely finished."

He stared fixedly at Gu Chen, who was motionless, as if petrified, and returned to him all the words Gu Chen had said: "In this life, I don't want to see you and He Zicheng appearing in front of Gu, get out, Gu You are not welcome to set foot in the mansion."

After he finished speaking, he sent someone directly to drive Gu Chen out.

"Your Highness." He Nu called him softly, trying to comfort him.

But He Ziming let go of him directly, waved his hand, and ordered him weakly: "You go down first."

For the next month, Gu Chen waited day and night in front of the Crown Prince's mansion to see He Ziming, but He Ziming hardened his heart and never saw him again.

He Ziming saw that all the humiliation and pain that Gu Chen had given him had been returned to him, but Gu Chen's favorability for him hadn't diminished, and even under various entanglements and pains, he suddenly jumped to 85 points. It's amazing.

One day in the middle, when it rained heavily, some people from the Crown Prince's mansion came to report to He Ziming, and He Ziming sent someone to give Gu Chen an umbrella.

"Young Master Gu, His Royal Highness told you not to wait, go back. He said that he will never see you again in his life, let's go." The old butler held an umbrella and walked to the side of Gu Chen who was drenched by the heavy rain , conveyed He Ziming's words and his own advice.

Gu Chen, however, was resolute and refused to even move, saying: "I won't leave, I know he will see me one day sooner or later."

"If one day fails, I will wait two days. If two days fail, I will wait ten days. If ten days fail, I will wait ten years. One day, one day..." Gu Chen stared blankly at the towering courtyard of the Prince's Mansion Wall, as if seeing the person in the mansion.

What a gentle person!

Even if he did such a thing, he had already broken with himself, and he still remembered to ask someone to give him an umbrella when it rained...but he...

In the past, Gu Chen had never understood He Ziming, never understood Prince Li, and he was disgusting just in front of him. Even after being with He Ziming in this life, he still felt the same in his heart, and he always had feelings for He Ziming's uncertainties. Beware, don't dare to believe it all.

It wasn't until this moment that he really understood that the person's disgusting face was truly soft...

It's a pity that he knew it too late, everything was too late.

They can never go back to the past.

The housekeeper handed him the umbrella, but Gu Chen refused to pick it up.

The butler had no choice but to persuade him to leave, so he sighed and asked a servant to stand up and hold an umbrella for Gu Chen, waiting for the person who would not come out of the mansion.

-

He Ziming stayed behind closed doors in the mansion for several months, until the emperor couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to see him, so he held a palace banquet in the palace, and then he went out.

Although He Ziming went out, he was still in a bad mood, he just sat under the emperor's head and watched various performances while drinking wine.

He Zisheng and Gu Chen were also among those who accepted the invitation to the palace banquet, and they went up to toast He Ziming, the crown prince, thinking that He Ziming would not give them face because they were in front of others, but he didn't think He Ziming would not give face to the extreme. Looking at their faces, he just dropped the wine glass regardless of the occasion, bringing the uncertainty to the extreme.

Seeing that the party members who were hostile to He Ziming were even more dissatisfied with him, they almost wrote a memorial to join him in their stomachs.

He Ziming didn't care about it either, and continued to go his own way, drinking dull wine.

In the middle of the banquet, the old emperor at the top suddenly said: "Boss, you are not young anymore, it's time to stop having fun. Regarding your own marriage, what are you doing?" Thought?"

As soon as he said this, the hearts of He Ziming, He Zisheng and Gu Chen tightened at the same time.

When the emperor uttered such unclear words, it usually meant to grant a marriage.

"If you are not sure, I think the daughter-in-law of the Ministry of Rites is gentle and dignified, she is a good..." Sure enough, the old emperor then directed the words to his favorite daughter-in-law.

But before the old emperor finished speaking, He Ziming interrupted him first: "Father——"

"What's the matter? Boss." The old emperor loved him so much, and he didn't blame him for his crime of disrespect.

He Ziming said: "My minister also knows that the daughter of the Minister of Rites is very good-looking and beautiful, but please forgive me, my father, I cannot obey the order to marry the daughter of the Minister of Rites as his wife."

"What? Are you interested?" The old emperor's face changed, and he looked at He Ziming with sharp eyes.

He Ziming knelt directly on the ground, hesitated for a moment, but said straightforwardly: "I... I like men, only men, and I can't delay the good girls of other people. Please forgive my father."

The old emperor's expression turned extremely ugly.

The hearts of He Zisheng and Gu Chen also followed him, they never thought that He Ziming would have the courage to say such a thing.

"My son... My son still has something to ask Father." He Ziming kept on talking, gritted his teeth and spoke again.

The old emperor's voice was so cold that he could almost freeze to death: "What's the matter?"

Everyone at the palace banquet was panicked, and everyone held their breath unconsciously, for fear of being affected and offending the angry old emperor.

"My son thinks he is incapable and incompetent, and cannot be worthy of the heavy responsibility of being the crown prince of the country. I also ask my father to allow my son to resign as the crown prince." He Ziming did all the things that Prince Li had always wanted to do but was afraid to do.

As soon as he said this, everyone was shocked.

The entire palace banquet was instantly silent, and no one thought that the crown prince would do such a shocking thing.
