Chapter 1332 - 1332 Duke North 3
1332 Duke North 3
Gu Chaoyan did not look any different. She looked distant yet attractive.
She was still wearing a plain white dress, because the weather had suddenly become cold, and it was probably still snowing outside. Therefore, she was wearing a fox fur cloak, which was made of white fox fur, and looked extraordinarily beautiful. This cloak must have been given by Lord Huai, since not even the aristocratic family could get such a cloak before. It seemed that only Lord Huai was capable of thinking of this idea.
She had changed a bit since the last time they met. She had become more skinny than before, probably because of the cold weather, or because Lord Huai had not taken good care of her.
She felt his pulse with her slightly cold fingers.
That was probably the shortest distance that could exist between them.
He wished that he were sick all the time so that he could maintain this moment. That moment was too short, like a flash, as Lady Chaoyan withdrew her hand.
She looked colder than before, something that she would not show without a reason. Normally, she would wear a small smile or talk about something in detail. Her eyes were always sparkling as she talked, but at the moment, she looked a bit defensive against him.
He glanced at the book of the Anecdote of Saint Divine – was it all because of the book?
The guard put the book next to him, but he had not touched it since he woke up.
On that day… when he got injured at Ning County, he thought that he would not survive the battle and that he might die.
At that time, his mind was blank and he didn’t think about anything. He thought of the book, and he took it out from his sleeves, and held it tightly in his hand. He felt that everything was good and well, and he should let it be.
However, he woke up again.
She treated him! She gave him a second chance at life, but she also noticed the book.
He had not expected such a scene.
He wondered what Lady Chaoyan would think of him or how she would treat him, but he wanted to see her.
He just wanted to see her and tell her what the book meant, which had been his wish all along.
That was why he asked his guard to ask her to come.
And now…
She was sitting next to him.
She looked so pretty as she was writing the prescription for him.
He had no idea what the future would be like, but at the moment, he felt that his heart was burning with fire and he desperately wished that he knew what he should do.
“Chen Yangqing came down from Mount Changbai, where do you think he went, or was going. Wei Jie robbed the rich and saved the poor, do you think he was a thief or a hero? After Li Jin passed the examination, would he have a smooth life in court? Would he be able to marry the wife he loved, and what happened to the little beggar?” Duke North asked as he spoke calmly.
He was very curious about the answers to these questions.
He had read the stories repeatedly, and he could even recount in detail what happened to those people, but he wondered what happened to them after everything.
He had been wondering about this when he was reading the book.
He decided to speak with Lady Chaoyan about this as they discussed the stories seated in the sun and drinking tea.
Gu Chaoyan paused and looked at him.
