The Tip of the Gangster’s Heart

————————————————————————

"I heard... her name is Gu Sheng?"

"……yes."

Gu Qianqi didn't know what to think of, his lips twitched, and his face was gloomy.

"My youngest daughter didn't live long. She accidentally fell into the water when she was five years old... she is no longer alive."

"No, not here?"

Eunuch Li was surprised, "Why didn't I hear you mention it?"

Gu Qianqi shook her head and sighed, "I only told my relatives about the loss of my daughter, and didn't make it public."

"My wife washes her face with tears all day long, and I don't want to say more."

"...Sorry." Eunuch Li patted him on the shoulder, apologetic.

"It's okay, it's all over."

Gu Qianqi smiled,

"Eunuch Li, if nothing happens, then I'll leave first?"

"Okay, okay."

Eunuch Li has already passed on the message, so it is inconvenient to keep him longer.

After watching him leave,

Eunuch Li turned around and went back to the imperial study.

...

...

now,

In the royal study,

A touch of ambergris fills the room, and the sun shines through the hollowed-out tallow window, making it warm and bright.

desk side,

The handsome and gentle man was wearing a clean and bright white brocade suit, which was loose on the inside and tight on the outside, and his jet-black hair was crowned with fine flawless jade.

His eyebrows and eyes are extremely beautiful, deep and serene, and somewhat indifferent.

When Eunuch Li came in, he was calmly holding a pen and drawing carefully on white paper.

Between pen and ink smudges,

The painting shows a slender woman.

She was wearing a bright red cloak with a beautiful palace dress underneath.

Plain white fingers rest quietly on the side of the cloak, gentle and clean.

The jade hairpin is gently holding the dark green silk, and the tassels are slightly swaying, beautiful and moving.

This is a very complete picture,

Apart from,

that face.

The palm-sized face was blank, with no eyebrows, no facial features.

After the man drew the last line, he slowly put down the pen.

He stared intently at the woman in the portrait,

Obsessed with eyes.

Even though he had no face, he still stretched out his hand and touched it gently, his fingertips attached.

Eunuch Li stood aside as usual, quietly acting as a transparent person.

Since your Majesty could paint with a brush,

He paints a similar portrait every day.

The content of the painting has never changed, it is always a woman.

A woman who is extremely important in His Majesty's heart and unparalleled.

Eunuch Li once looked at the portrait secretly, but he couldn't tell who the person in the portrait was just by looking left and right.

After all, there is no face, and it is difficult to confirm just by looking at the figure.

soon,

The ink on the paper has dried.

The emperor carefully placed it by the table,

Just tilt your head and you can see it.

"Has the word arrived?"

he asked quietly.

Eunuch Li quickly bowed and replied, "Return to Your Majesty, it has arrived."

"Well, back off."

The emperor never took his eyes off the portrait.

He gently traced the outline of the woman with his fingertips, and the familiar appearance seemed to have been deeply engraved in his mind.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch Li withdrew.

Before closing the door, he looked at the emperor inside, feeling puzzled in his heart,

Since there is someone in His Majesty's heart, why don't you go to her? Still agree with Na Fei?

Could it be...

This woman...

Eunuch Li was shocked, and immediately stopped his thoughts.

Don't ask too much, guess too much, or think too much about the affairs of the Tian family.

Do your best to live in peace.

Eunuch Li stood in danger.

...

...

half a month later,

The draft ceremony officially began amidst much anticipation.

The people who were selected this time were all Miss Officials.
