"My body is fine now, this time it's really thanks to the princess."
An Yi smiled shyly, revealing two beautiful dimples.
Just looking at her like this, the experiences that Lin Song described were simply unimaginable.
Before Gu Qingsheng could speak, An Yi continued
"Mr. Lin's health has improved a lot. I didn't expect such a miracle to happen. I am so grateful to the princess."
When she mentioned Lin Song, she seemed very happy and her eyes brightened up.
Gu Qingsheng felt a little relieved, and seeing An Yi so happy, he felt a little emotional.
"You don't need to thank me too much. It's still up to you to save him."
"Actually, I asked you to come this time..."
He took out a wooden gift box from his sleeve and pushed it in front of An Yi.
“Actually, it’s because of this…”
An Yi was stunned for a moment, and opened the wooden box in confusion. A wooden fragrance came from inside. There were some very exquisite patterns engraved on the back of the box.
And in the box lay quietly a silver-inlaid jade hairpin.
There are two very delicate cat's eyes engraved on the top of the hairpin. It seems that there are some stars rotating inside the jade, shining and reflecting some of the light outside.
"I know. Although I saved Lin Song, it will be difficult for Madam Xi to pass on the news to me from Huaixiang Pavilion."
After all, Huaixiang Pavilion is a place where upper-class nobles go, and the people behind it are also extraordinary.
The last time the Shangshu Mansion sent people to conduct a forced investigation, they destroyed most of Huaixiang Pavilion. The scene was indeed bleak.
But what happened next was that the Shangshu was impeached by the ministers in memorials, and some old anecdotes were brought up. The emperor was furious and punished him with one month of confinement and three months' salary.
The punishment was neither light nor severe, but it was very much like a warning from the forces behind Huaixiang Pavilion to the Shangshu Mansion.
Poor thing, he used to look cheerful and cheerful, with his eyes slightly narrowed when he smiled, but these days he looks like he has aged thirty years.
Not to mention the pain of losing his son, the pressure from above also made him very depressed.
This is enough to show that the identity of the person behind Madam Xi is definitely not simple.
It would definitely not work to let such a person do things for him just to save Lin Song.
This hairpin is the Wei Bei hairpin that Gu Qingsheng bought from a merchant through his memories of his previous life.
As a dynasty that declined more than a decade ago, there are very few handicrafts handed down from Weibei, and they can almost be said to be extinct.
This hairpin was just an imitation made by a craftsman who had visited Weibei at that time.
"The last time I went to your room, I saw that your bronze mirrors and other things were imitations of the Weibei style. I think you may have some understanding and interest in the Weibei dynasty."
"I accidentally got this Weibei-style hairpin this time. I wonder if you will like it."
"There are some things in the warehouse that I want to give to Madam Xi. I'll ask Bai Lu to get them over later."
An Yi seemed to have not heard the following words. She just stared blankly at the things in the box, and her fingers seemed to be shaking.
She showed very strong emotions, and for a moment Gu Qingsheng fell silent. He looked at her and asked
"What's wrong with you, Miss Anyi?"
An Yi did not answer, her eyes were fixed. Gu Qingsheng pushed An Yi's arm, and she came back to her senses.
"Ah Princess."
Realizing his own impoliteness, An Yi paused and smiled awkwardly at Gu Qingsheng.
"I'm really sorry, I was just thinking about something."
"You saved Master Lin. The princess's kindness is so great that An Yi will never forget it. How could he still think of taking the princess's things?"
She pushed the wooden box, and Gu Qingsheng's eyes flashed slightly. He could notice that An Yi's wrists and palms were shaking very unnaturally.
"An Yi, take it."
Gu Qingsheng's voice swept through An Yi's heart like a gust of wind. Perhaps he also realized that his expression of the hairpin was too obvious. In Gu Qingsheng's understanding eyes, An Yi had nowhere to hide and could only sigh.
"The princess has a keen eye and sees through everything in An Yi's heart."
"Then I will accept the hairpin. Whatever the princess wishes for will be granted."
Holding the hairpin in your hand, you can feel the cool touch of the jade on it.
She took off the hairpin on her head, and her long hair cascaded down. The fragrance of her hair spread in the air, mixing with the scent of osmanthus outside the window.
With her plain face and black hair, An Yi looked very fragile. She did not avoid Gu Qingsheng being beside her, and she used both hands to tie her hair up neatly.
She has always dressed cleanly and simply, which makes her look even more appealing to people.
"How is it? Does it look good?"
The gem on the hairpin swayed with her movements. Gu Qingsheng's eyes flickered, but he just looked at her calmly.
"It suits you perfectly."
After the two chatted for a while, An Yi said goodbye.
After ordering the palace carriage to send her back, General Gu Qingsheng rested for a while.
The carps in the pond kept biting some baits floating on the water surface, each with its red mouth open and its tail making layers of circles on the surface of the lake.
"You seem to have made up your mind?"
When Miao Lanlan heard Gu Qingsheng chatting with An Yi just now, she seemed to know something.
Judging from Qingsheng's words and thoughts, he must have his own thoughts in mind.
"Confirmed."
Gu Qingsheng's eyes were cold, and a red carp in the pond jumped out of the water.
"I want to save her, but I still need your permission."
"It's you who's practicing the Gu, and it's your body that's being harmed."
"Originally, I didn't want you to refine this kind of large poisonous insect again..."
"She won't live more than two years."
Miao Lanlan continued, she understood Gu Qingsheng's current thoughts very well. Perhaps because the two of them had been together for a long time, Miao Lanlan could empathize with some of his thoughts.
An Yi's physical condition became even weaker after the heart bleeding, and Gu Qingsheng must have noticed this.
There is no way to cure venereal disease with medicinal herbs.
“That’s not the main point.”
Gu Qingsheng said.
"Just now, Anyi seemed to want me to know something. You are not from here, so you may not be able to tell."
"An Yi's hair-binding gesture..."
This is the gesture used exclusively by people in northern Wei.
He was not shy in front of Gu Qingsheng, probably because he wanted to make some of his identities clear.
Weibei was still a relatively new place. According to Lin Song, An Yi was a poor young lady. If she was from Weibei...
That would be very interesting.
Ten years after the fall of the Northern Wei Kingdom, the people fled everywhere and some folk crafts had long been lost.
At that time, the smoke of war in northern Wei lasted for a whole month, and rivers of blood flowed.
If Anyi is really from Weibei, then I must save her even more.
It was not because of anything else, but because he was the culprit who caused the war in northern Wei and the suffering of the people.
It was the current Fourth Prince who later colluded with Chu Zhiyao to commit treason and had evil ambitions.
The future new emperor of Jin and Chu.
Gu Yinghuai.
