Gu Qingsheng paused slightly, turned his head slowly, and his eyes were sharp.
"What did you say?"
An Yi suffers from venereal disease. Logically speaking, it is not surprising for a woman of her status to have this disease. In the capital of Jinchu, there are countless prostitutes suffering from this symptom.
But no matter what, this disease should have nothing to do with Gu.
She was a little hesitant, and Miao Lanlan interrupted her concerns
"There is no poison that can cause syphilis."
What Lin Song said...
It must be said that she was somewhat interested in what Lin Song said.
"You can tell me what I want to say, but as for whether to save An Yi or not, I still don't dare to make a decision."
When it comes to Miao Lanlan's safety, Gu Qingsheng cannot make a decision casually. An Yi is important, but so is Miao Lanlan.
With this breakthrough, Lin Song was very satisfied, but his face was a little painful, as if he had thought of something very desperate.
"I also heard about this incident by chance from someone at Huaixiang Pavilion."
"An Yi, it seems, was once a daughter of a certain family. Her family was very powerful, and she had always lived a happy life, but..."
"Later, her family fell into poverty and was implicated in the royal family's struggles. Everyone was thrown into prison, and she was sold into a brothel."
The word "brothel" made Gu Qingsheng stunned for a moment.
That place is different from Huaixiang Pavilion and ordinary brothels. It is truly dirty and frivolous, and its sex life is ostentatious.
The characters in those dramas all have a miserable end, often with one woman serving multiple men. This also explains why An Yi has this disease.
Thinking about her tragic experience, Gu Qingsheng felt a sudden pain in his heart.
It's so similar to falling into water.
But falling into the water was such luck.
She thought that An Yi's experience ended here.
But Lin Song continued to speak
"However, the madam at the time might have had some connections with An Yi's old friends, so she wasn't as bad to her as the rumors said."
"Then... An Yi's illness wasn't contracted there?"
Gu Qingsheng asked this question, and it was this question that made Lin Song's eyes become profound.
"Yes and no."
"At that time, envoys from the Western Regions were paying tribute to Anyi's country. It's unknown whether it was the current Prince Leiman, but what is known is that the two envoys from the Western Regions behaved very badly."
"With the new emperor turning a blind eye, they searched the city for people to practice Gu, and finally found An Yi."
"That night, a huge fire broke out in that place, and most of the people inside were burned to death, except An Yi."
After hearing Lin Song's words, Gu Qingsheng didn't dare to believe it, but he still asked tentatively.
"Did those Western Regions envoys use An Yi to practice Gu?"
Lin Song's eyes were complicated, and the moonlight in the sky made his face look miserable and lonely.
"An Yi was captured and brought back to face a group of men driven mad by the poisonous insects. It was also because of that night that she developed this illness..."
The more he spoke, the quieter his voice became. Suddenly, he squatted on the ground with his hands on his head, grabbing his hair and pulling it, wailing in pain.
"I...I don't really want to talk anymore..."
"Mr. Lin!"
After receiving Gu Qingsheng's eye signal, Bai Lu stepped forward and patted Lin Song's back to comfort him.
"Are you okay?"
However, Gu Qingsheng felt an indescribable chill in his heart.
It was the coldest wind that night, breaking people's nerves one by one.
Gu Qingsheng seemed to be able to imagine how those men who had eaten the poisonous insects and went crazy would treat such a weak woman.
There was even a thin figure in front of me, crying, howling and struggling under the torture of everyone.
My brain felt stinging and my heart felt clenched.
When he first met An Yi, Gu Qingsheng felt that although she was a brothel girl, she had the cleanest smile and the purest soul in the world.
When she learned about An Yi's experience at this time, she actually felt a little sad.
There is no need to say much about what happened later. It was mostly by chance that Madam Xi picked it up.
Pursing his lips, Gu Qingsheng looked at Lin Song who was shaking on the ground, his eyes gradually darkening in the night.
"Mr. Lin, I...let me think about it."
Miao Lanlan also fell silent. Because of the insect, too many people in this world are experiencing things they shouldn't be experiencing.
An Yi's life was ruined just like that.
Even Miao Lanlan couldn't help but admire and sigh at his ability to maintain such a calm temperament.
"Let's go back and think about it."
She said to Gu Qingsheng.
…
After Lin Song returned, Gu Qingsheng also returned to the palace.
Lying down in the moonlight outside, she could see the big moon through the window beside her couch.
What a pity that today is Mid-Autumn Festival.
A good day just passed by in such a muddle.
Prince Duan has already gone to bed. It would definitely seem strange if I said now that I wanted to visit him to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.
On the first reunion day after she returned, she learned something that made her feel uneasy.
Just as I was about to close my eyes, there was a sudden sound from my door.
The sound was neither small nor loud, but it was enough to create a ripple in the quiet atmosphere.
She stood up from the bed, frowning.
With her long black hair draped in front of her, she put on a cloak and walked slowly towards the door.
At this time, Bai Lu had already gone to bed. Zheng Xueyi had been ordered to go out for the past two days, so it was impossible for her to be here.
Who on earth could come here at this time?
He took very light steps, as if afraid of making a sound and startling the person outside.
When he reached the door, Gu Qingsheng opened it a crack, but could not see anything.
She was very alert and slowly opened the door. From the tiny gap in the door, she was greeted by a strong scent of gardenia.
Just like the one next to my ear at the palace banquet today.
The aroma released all the tension in her mind, and the door opened wide.
Under the huge sycamore tree in the yard, a man was standing under the tree, holding a huge bunch of gardenias in his hand.
The petals are slightly curled, and the fragrance fills the entire yard.
All the gardenias have some white silk wrapped around their bases to add some color.
People surrounded by gardenias are the most beautiful scenery in the world.
He had a gentle demeanor and a cold face, but there was a faint curve at the corner of his mouth.
The whole person was reflected by the white moonlight, and for a moment she seemed so beautiful that it seemed unreal. She blended into the moonlight, making the surrounding scenery ashamed.
Her long hair was tied up loosely and draped behind her head, and her dark hair was as smooth as satin.
When he saw Gu Qingsheng for the first time, he smiled, raised the bouquet in his hand slightly, and stood in front of her.
"Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, Qingsheng."
"Today, I am reunited with you. Can you dislike it?"
Gu Qingsheng's eyes suddenly turned red.
Miao Lanlan couldn't help but nodded.
The child is teachable.
Flowers have always been the embodiment of romance throughout history.
“You really are…”
