However, because of this conversation, the atmosphere between the two people was not as tense as it was at the beginning.
I picked up the book in front of me and started reading again, but found that I couldn't concentrate on the content of the book no matter what I did.
After half an incense stick of time, Xu Qingyi sighed imperceptibly, rubbed his brows, and turned to look at Gu Qingsheng, who already looked sleepy.
"The county lord is tired and can take a short rest. We still have some time to go to Luofo Temple."
Gu Qingsheng forced himself to look up, his smile a little forced.
If it was Bai Lu sitting next to her, she would have fallen asleep long ago, but now there was an old fox sitting next to her, how could she sleep peacefully?
"I'm not tired, please keep me in mind, Imperial Master."
After saying that, he turned his head away.
To be honest, Gu Qingsheng felt a little regretful.
Even if I fought to the death with Chu Zhiyao in the carriage, it might be better than the current situation.
He was in extremely poor health due to falling into the water a few days ago, and yesterday he had another fight with Lin and fell into the water again, which aggravated his illness.
She was actually so tired that her bones were about to fall apart, but she still forced herself to stay awake and refused to fall asleep.
While I was drowsy, a strange fragrance wafted over.
It looks like sandalwood, but it's not sandalwood.
But this smell was like a tempting provocation that made people feel itchy. Because of this smell, Gu Qingsheng became even more sleepy, and his eyelids drooped in a short while.
She threw herself into Xu Qingyi's arms, feeling the pleasant fragrance inside, and subconsciously found a comfortable position and arched her back in his arms.
He adjusted Gu Qingsheng so that she could rest her head on his shoulder, but she couldn't prevent herself from leaning against him. A warm fragrance spread, along with some slightly bitter herbal smell, which was the scent of the medicinal herbs used to bandage her leg.
"We finally have some time alone, why did you put her to sleep?"
The woman in his arms looked at Gu Qingsheng sleeping soundly and asked Xu Qingyi.
Breaking the incense stick in his hand, Xu Yanqing said
"She has a cold and isn't very responsive to the elements. She gets up early and comes back late at Luofo Temple, so she might be overtired."
"Besides..."
His eyes darkened
"Even if she just sits next to me, I can't calm down."
…
The surroundings are hazy and unreal.
When Gu Qingsheng opened his eyes, he was already in the bloody execution ground!
Heavy rain! The whisper of blood!
She stood in the middle of the crowd in her prison uniform. A chill suddenly crept up her body and into her heart. Her eyes gradually widened, and the raindrops falling from the sky felt cold to the touch.
This seems real.
Myself, back? Or...
Back again.
Hugging his arms with both hands, Gu Qingsheng's expression turned into horror.
"don't want……"
That kind of overwhelming regret!
That kind of hatred is extremely evil!
Don't let her experience it again!
Slowly squatting down, Gu Qingsheng kept shaking. The rain hit his face, hit his eyes and fell down. He could no longer tell whether it was rain or tears.
In the midst of this rainy night, a few soft calls and moans came through the messy raindrops.
"Chiang Saen, Chiang Saen."
The voice sounded familiar, but the man's voice was too bleak and low, and Gu Qingsheng couldn't make it out.
She looked up blankly, and then she saw the oil-paper umbrella in the corner.
The man in white was thin and had long hair hanging down. He faced away from Gu Qingsheng, but the person in his arms had already closed his eyes and was no longer breathing...
she?
A chill ran from his feet to his head, making Gu Qingsheng's heart tremble.
Is this what happened after she died?
"Who are you……"
She walked towards the man with heavy steps. The man murmured in a voice so oppressive that even Gu Qingsheng's breathing became disordered.
"Kiyomori... I shouldn't... I shouldn't..."
"Kiyomori... If you're not here, what use is there for me in this world..."
“Chiangmori…”
The painful screams brought hot tears to Gu Qingsheng's eyes. She walked faster, making loud splashing sounds in the rain!
The man seemed to notice and turned his head slightly, and Gu Qingsheng's hand also reached his shoulder——
"you--"
Suddenly, everything in front of me went dark.
The scene just now had disappeared, leaving only the sound of Gu Qingsheng's own breathing, which was as quiet as it could be.
A clear female voice suddenly rang out in the dark air.
"Ayue, you can't forget me. You must remember me forever."
"Even if—"
"Princess, wake up."
Gu Qingsheng opened his eyes instantly.
A cauldron of incense is burning slowly in front of me. Although the fragrance is faint, it has a calming effect.
The elegant fragrance beside her also made her feel at ease.
What on earth was that dream just now about...?
Who is that man? Who is Ayue?
"My Lady, are you feeling better?"
Xu Qingyi's caring and pleasant voice came from his ears. Gu Qingsheng was stunned while thinking. He immediately knew what he was pillowing on. He raised his head stiffly and did not dare to look at him.
"Excuse me, Imperial Master..."
"Nothing."
A handkerchief was handed over, and the fragrance beside me seemed to be closer to me.
"Princess, did you have a nightmare? You're sweating a lot."
Only then did she realize that because of her dream, the sweat she had just experienced had soaked Xu Qingyi's shoulders.
Feeling a little embarrassed for a moment, Gu Qingsheng pursed her lips, as if she wanted to say something. But before she could open her mouth, her forehead was gently wiped by a handkerchief.
Seeing that she didn't take the handkerchief at all, Xu Qingyi didn't waste any words and started wiping her directly.
The words of refusal choked on his lips. Gu Qingsheng sighed, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, clenched his hands, and whispered
"I have already used the handkerchief given by the Imperial Master."
Xu Qingyi, who was about to put away the handkerchief, blinked and looked at Gu Qingsheng, who lowered his head uncomfortably, and then smiled softly.
"Nothing, there are plenty of handkerchiefs."
“Ouch—”
A very urgent sound of pulling horses came from the front, followed by the sound of surrounding objects sliding down. Countless pieces of debris fell and hit the horses. The horses lost control and the carriage began to shake. For a while, all kinds of screams were heard.
Before Gu Qingsheng could grab the edge of the carriage, his arm was firmly held by Xu Qingyi. Seeing him frown and speak in a calm tone,
"Don't be afraid."
Being dragged, Gu Qingsheng avoided rolling out of the carriage. Bai Lu's vigilant voice came from the front.
"Princess, don't make a sound, this is a robbery."
Of course she knew it was a robbery.
Not only did she know it was a robbery, she also wanted to take advantage of it.
In her previous life, Luo Zhaozhao saved the queen from the robbers and became a hostage in her place, and then she caught Chu Zhiyao's eye.
That's how the two met.
After returning to the capital, Luo Zhaozhao caught the Queen's favor and received a large number of rewards. Not only did her family members get promoted, but she also had Chu Zhiyao's love, and her life afterwards was very prosperous.
but…
The horses finally calmed down under the driver's control, and the sound of the landslide above gradually subsided. A sturdy man's voice came from behind the curtains.
"Don't move! Robbery!"
