It was inconvenient for Gu Yun to quarrel with Shen Yi in front of all his friends, he had to wave his hand pretending to be generous: "How can there be anything that I cannot let other people know, I…"

He took out the note in the bag, it read: "What was the greatest consolation for you when you were at your lowest point?"

Everyone was very curious seeing how Marshal went silent after half a sentence of boasting. Shen Yi leaned over and said, "What did it say?"

Gu Yun closed his fist and hid the note away. He turned his head to look at Chang Geng. For a moment, his gaze was far away, no one knew what he was thinking of. He suddenly smiled.

Chang Geng did not understand, he blinked and asked, "What was written on it?"

The eyes of the young Emperor were clear and sparkling as if all the lights of the Northern Palace are concentrated in that pair of eyes.

"It wrote about you, silly," Gu Yun thought, "Forget it."

Then, one by one, he ate all the "eternal spring" in front of him.

Oh, the taste was very bad. Let's simply eat them for good fortune.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

According to Gu Yun's taste, he would bid farewell to sweet and sour pork slices in this life, I think this is one of his biggest regrets of his life.

Last time talked about how General Shen finally altered his fate and took advantage of when Marshal had been poisoned by vinegar to throw the flower ball to him so that he could draw that note.

If discussing only 'comfort', then Gu Yun had many. Of course, Chang Geng the Beauty ranked first, but apart from him, then delicious food, entertainments, then brothers who he had been through life and death with, playing tricks on Shen Yi, Uncle Wang growing flowers, Old Huo feeding the horses — everything in the world that could make him stop to appreciate and smile held a part of his feelings, and naturally they were his comfort.

But what did 'at the lowest point' mean?

When Gu Yun first saw this line of words, he did not think of the days when he was young when he lost his parents and became deaf and blind.

First, these things had happened a long time ago. Second, it had been this way for decades; he was long used to it anyway. Now, when he recalled the years when he was a child and inherited the title in the Marquis's Manor, they were all blurry in his memories. Sometimes, when he remembered some fragments, or when he listened to Uncle Wang mention a few words, he felt as if they had never happened to him.
