The world is a bitter sea, and people struggle within it.
Is genuine sincerity always belittled? Are kindness and gentleness always bullied? Are ugly commoners always mocked? Is unparalleled ...
Chapter 513 The Princess Who Was Widowed Early (6)
Shi Yi approached him cautiously. He was also waiting to see what she was going to do, so he did not run away.
He had a hunch that she was not a bad person. Because there was pity and even heartache in her eyes when she looked at him.
No, he could not trust her. It was because he trusted others that he had all these scars on his body.
He suddenly jumped up, grabbed her hand, and bit it hard. In pain, Shi Yi subconsciously hugged him. He was about to bite and run away, but he froze in place.
"Are you stupid? How can you bite someone directly?" Shi Yi patted his back, signaling him to open his mouth, and reminded him, "If you bite someone directly, what if the other person has a knife? Are you going to die?"
He tentatively opened his mouth, and arched his back to look at her vigilantly like a little wolf being violated, and whimpered softly: "Who are you?"
"I really want to know?" Shi Yi stretched out her hand to brush away the messy hair on his cheek like dry grass, revealing his scarred face, and gently stroked it, "It hurts a lot."
Gu Changfeng stupidly held her hand and put it on his face, feeling that her hand was as delicate as the silk he had touched before, no, it was smoother than that silk.
"I brought you some medicine, I'll give you a simple treatment first." Shi Yi hugged him and sat on the broken box in the corner.
"Why are you nice to me?" Gu Changfeng never let down his guard, hiding his fierceness in his eyes, ready to explode at any time.
Thinking of Gu Ni, Shi Yi gently treated his wound and whispered, "I was entrusted by someone."
"Who?" Gu Changfeng turned to look at her, quietly holding the stone pieces between his fingers in case of emergency.
At the same time, he smelled the faint fragrance on the ends of her hair, which was not found in the palace. He concluded that she must have come from outside the palace.
"An old friend." Shi Yi gently held his palm, took off the sharp stone pieces, and stroked his back with the other hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm not a bad person."
"How can you guarantee it?" Gu Changfeng was a little frustrated. He didn't expect that the other party had already noticed his intention.
"I'm giving you something, you must keep it well." Shi Yi stuffed the brocade bag into his arms and continued to treat his wounds.
Gu Changfeng didn't take the brocade bag immediately, but carefully copied her face. He wanted to remember her, not because of her gentleness towards him today. But, she might know some stories about him.
"Okay, I've dealt with the serious part for you. Keep the rest of the medicine for yourself. Take it three times a day, and you should be able to recover in more than a month." Shi Yi patted his shoulder and touched his messy hair again. After thinking for a while, she took off her hair accessories and tidied his hair for him, and then used the hair accessories to fix it for him.
During the whole process, Gu Changfeng was unusually well-behaved. The child who never thought about his mother had sore eyes at this moment, imagining that if his mother was by his side, she might tidy up his hair like the other party.
"There is no hair crown, so you have to make do with it for now." Shi Yi stood up and looked at him with his hair combed. His neat jawline was already prominent, and his eyebrows were as thick as the black armor. He vaguely felt that he might inherit the outstanding appearance of his mother Gu Ni in the future.
Calculating the time, it was time to leave the palace. She reached out and patted the dirt on her body.
She came here secretly. If the spies in the palace knew that she was here, there might be new waves.
"Will you come again?" Gu Changfeng held the things she gave him tightly in his arms, with hope in his eyes.
"Do you want me to come again?" Shi Yi deliberately teased him.
Gu Changfeng turned his head away first, hesitated for a long time, and then turned to look at her, choking in a low voice: "Yes."
No one in the palace was good to him, but he couldn't leave the palace. Her kindness to him became the motivation to support him to continue living. Shi Yi
walked over quickly and touched his head, and whispered as if promising: "I will come again."
Gu Changfeng hugged her tightly, revealing his vulnerability like a fierce word, "Don't break your promise. If you lie to me, I will not let you go as long as I live."
"Okay." Shi Yi touched his back and answered solemnly.
"If you lie to me, I will really kill you." Gu Changfeng grabbed her wrist and bit it hard. Shi Yi frowned but didn't push him away.
Gu Changfeng felt that he had bitten into the bone and blood, and his mouth was full of the sweet and fishy taste of blood before he let go.
He wanted her to always remember what she promised him today. It would be best if she never forgot it.
"I should go back." Shi Yi patted his back again, and lightly shook the wide robe to hide the wound.
Gu Changfeng stared at the place where he had just bitten, and then ran away quickly.
He didn't want to see her leave here. But he had no reason to keep her. He could only not look at him.
After leaving the abandoned palace, Shi Yi deliberately stood at the door and waited for a while. Seeing that there were no palace servants looking around, he walked to another palace road.
When she left the palace, there was one more person beside the carriage than usual. She greeted the other person without changing her expression:
"Lord Song seems to be very free."
He didn't go home even after the court was over. It seemed that there must be no beautiful wife and concubines at home.
"Same here." Song Weicheng stared at her and laughed softly.
His figure was as tall and straight as a pine or cypress, but his temperament was as cold as a plum blossom. When he smiled, it was as brilliant as a hundred flowers in full bloom. His slight smile made the other palace maids who passed by blush. Only Shi Yi's face did not change at all.
He was a little disappointed that his beauty trick failed. Seeing that she had come out of the palace, he concluded that she had completed the responsibility he entrusted to her, and was in an unusually good mood.
"It seems that Lord Song is not young anymore. Does he have a beautiful wife and children at home?" She deliberately brought up this topic, and sure enough, the other party bowed to her and said, "I am not yet successful and famous, and I dare not delay the girl of a good family."
"Lord Song is really too modest." It was just a topic that came to mind casually, and it was not convenient to expand on it. The two exchanged glances and stopped there.
"These are some personal belongings that the prince consort left with me when he was alive. I was afraid that going to the Princess's Mansion would cause gossip. Knowing that you are going to the palace today, I specially sent it to you." Song Weicheng took out a letter from his sleeve and gave it to her.
The other palace servants who had been secretly watching the two of them heard his words and saw his trip, and then they understood why the two who had no intersection would meet here.
Shi Yi put the envelope back into his sleeve, his face heavy, and he said with sadness: "Thank you, Lord Song."
"Princess, you are embarrassing me." Song Weicheng made a gesture of invitation and personally helped her get on the carriage.
In a blind spot where no one could see, Shi Yi said two words to him using lip language.
