Chapter 330 A powerful official dressed as a man 1
The next day, Yuyan was still serving as a lecturer in the Imperial College, but she hadn't seen Gu Heng. She couldn't help but ask the eunuch beside her.
"Why didn't Minister Gu come today?" His class was on January 18th and he had never missed a class.
"Just now the eunuch at the palace gate reported that Prime Minister Gu was not feeling well and would rest at home today." The young eunuch saluted and replied.
"Uh..." Yuyan touched her nose guiltily.
It seems that he really caught a cold last night, but it shouldn’t be a big deal...right?
After all, in this season and in this weather, it's not the coldest time of the year. At most you'll just catch a cold.
In the evening, Yuyan finished her work for the day and prepared to go home.
As soon as she left the palace, she saw the Gu family's carriage parked at the palace gate.
Yuyan pretended not to see it and continued walking forward casually.
"Lord Yu, my young master wants to see you." Chu Er, who was standing outside the carriage, called out to Yu Yan.
Yuyan didn't want to pay attention to him, but she was afraid that Gu Heng would settle the score with her later, so she had to turn around and explain perfunctorily.
"It's getting late, and I still have some official business to deal with, so I won't disturb Prime Minister Gu from recuperating. Please help Chu Er report back."
After saying that, Yuyan bowed to Chuer, turned around and left.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Gu Heng's cold and indifferent voice was heard from the carriage.
"Master Yu is really busy, and he can't even invite me, right?"
"........."
Shit, why is Gu Heng in the carriage? Isn't he sick? He actually dragged his sick body to block him in person, does he have such a strong desire for revenge?
"Get in the car." Gu Heng spoke again.
Yuyan frowned, but finally got on the carriage reluctantly.
In the carriage, Gu Heng sat upright, and apart from his pale face, there was nothing unusual about him.
Yuyan sat down next to him and spoke first after thinking for a while.
"Minister Gu, I didn't mean to do that last night. I just had to act out of urgency. I did that for your health."
"So, I have to thank you?" Gu Heng said with a sneer.
It sounds so good, why don't you use yourself as the antidote?
"No need to thank me, but I hope the Prime Minister will not misunderstand me."
"Hmph." Gu Heng snorted lightly and stopped talking.
Yuyan originally thought that Gu Heng came today to settle accounts with her, but she didn't expect that he just took her out for a meal, drank some flower wine, and then sent her back home without mentioning what happened yesterday.
For a moment, Yuyan felt that she was too narrow-minded and mean-spirited, and she reflected on herself for a second.
You have to admit that the food that Gu Heng took her to eat today was quite delicious. Although it was not the signature dish of that restaurant, it also had its own unique flavor.
Especially the rose and red bean ice porridge was delicious, she would definitely go there to eat it again some other day.
In the following month, Gu Heng suddenly became a little strange. He either asked her out for dinner, gave her some strange things, or asked her to appreciate poetry.
This made her extremely nervous the whole day, fearing that she would accidentally fall into Gu Heng's trap.
Nangong Chen has been helping Emperor Qing deal with state affairs these days, and he has lost a lot of weight due to being so tired.
Yuyan couldn't bear it any longer and was afraid that her golden thigh would be exhausted, so she taught him some skills and methods of managing government affairs and reviewing documents.
Since then, Nangong Chen has gradually become more capable than before, and recently he has even had time to continue playing with Yuyan.
Inside the study room of Gu Mansion
Gu Heng stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, his brows furrowed and his face cold.
Not far away, Chu Er and other guards were standing in a row with their backs straight.
But they also looked sad and sweaty.
"What else can we do?"
Chu Er and other guards knelt on the ground and begged for their crimes in unison.
"My subordinates are incompetent. Please punish them, sir."
Gu Heng sighed and waved his sleeves, saying, "Forget it, go down!"
The guards then left feeling relieved.
Gu Heng looked at the lush trees outside the window, thought about Yu Yan's attitude over the past month, sighed again, and felt very depressed.
He had tried to show his kindness to him many times in the past month and used various methods to express his feelings to him, but he was ignored one by one.
He took him to eat red bean porridge, wanting to use the red beans to hint his feelings.
Yuyan was unaware of anything and even ate three bowls of red bean ice porridge, which she found extremely delicious.
Later, he gave her a lovebirds hairpin with a gold base and gemstones, hoping to express his love through the object.
Yu Yan's eyes lit up at that moment, and he immediately put the plug on his head. Just when he thought he finally knew his feelings, he heard Yu Yan muttering to himself thanking him.
"How can this be so embarrassing? Prime Minister Gu spent a lot of money. It was a lot of money."
Yuyan’s inner thoughts at that time: Now I have money to buy osmanthus duck again.
Later he even wrote him a love poem directly to express his love for him.
"My spirit is like orchid, it never changes. My heart is like orchid, it never moves."
After reading it, Yuyan looked at him with admiration and assured him with a righteous expression.
"Minister Gu, rest assured. I promise that no matter what happens in the future, I will be like you and always be loyal to His Majesty and the Kingdom of Qing."
At that time, Yu Yan's inner thoughts were: Anyway, she didn't want to be the emperor herself, so Gu Heng's request was not difficult for her, but there was an important prerequisite - she must be a powerful official. Otherwise, this kind of guarantee, ... whoever wants to believe it can believe it!
Thinking of all this, Gu Heng felt that her journey to pursue her husband was extremely difficult.
Gu Heng's repeated attempts to confess his feelings were blocked, which made him more and more depressed. He spent the whole day racking his brains with his guards to think of other ways to express his feelings.
Just then, Chu Er came in again to report.
"Sir, Dong Li sent a letter asking you when you will start and when you will return."
"Ignore it."
Gu Heng was already in a bad mood, so he had no time to think about other things. After giving Chu Er a casual order, he propped up his head with his hands and started to think about how to pursue his husband again.
Chu Er, who was standing by, nodded in response and was about to turn around and leave, but he couldn't help but remind Gu Heng in a low voice.
"Sir, Lord Yu is a man of high character. Is it possible that your metaphors have been too subtle so he still doesn't understand your feelings?"
After all, who could have thought that the handsome and elegant young man would have an affair with someone else.
Lord Yu would never guess that his young master was after his body.
These words woke Gu Heng up from his dream, and he suddenly understood.
Yes, why do we need to use metaphors? His love is open and aboveboard, so why should he hide it?
He wanted to tell Yu Yan his feelings in person, let him know his feelings, and stand with him openly.
