She gasped for breath and turned her head with great effort, revealing a pale face and red, burned eyes.
Although he knew that she was sick, this look made Xu Qingyi feel that she was being wronged.
After reacting, Xu Qingyi sat down and pulled Gu Qingsheng's hand, but found that he didn't move at all, with stubbornness in his eyes.
"I'm not leaving."
Xu Qingyi saw what Gu Qingsheng was thinking and patted the back of her hand in a soothing voice, which made Gu Qingsheng slowly relax her hand.
Turning Gu Qingsheng over, Xu Qingyi tucked the quilt for her.
"When did the princess wake up?"
"I never sleep."
"Then, when did you find out it was mine?"
Gu Qingsheng took a few breaths to relieve the congestion in his chest, and frowned as he looked at Xu Qingyi.
"From the very beginning, when you appeared in my sight."
"I said... cough! cough!"
A violent coughing fit almost took her life, and the wound was excruciatingly painful.
He quickly stretched her back, and Xu Qingyi pursed her lips with an unpleasant expression.
"The princess won't say anymore."
"You still have a fever and your wound hasn't healed yet. It's not too late to talk to you after you recover."
"I will not run away..."
He spoke in a somewhat impatient tone, an emotion that Gu Qingsheng had never felt from Xu Qingyi before.
Xu Qingyi, the exiled immortal from Jin and Chu, turns out to have human emotions and desires, and knows how to worry about others.
Knowing this, Gu Qingsheng felt much better, and even his wound didn't hurt as much.
"You, why…"
Gu Qingsheng really wanted to ask why Xu Qingyi didn't come to see him during the day.
I also want to ask if I heard it wrong when he called my name at that time.
But all the words she wanted to say tightened when she saw Xu Qingyi's red eyes, and she could no longer ask.
"I don't have the face to see the princess."
Xu Qingyi was sitting beside the couch. The distance between them was so close that Gu Qingsheng could feel his breath as long as he raised his head slightly, but he felt very far away from him.
"The prince asked me to protect the princess, but he still let her get hurt so badly."
"So, I don't have the face to come to see the princess when she is awake..."
"You're such a stubborn person... This is my plan, what does it have to do with you... Besides, my injury is just my back, I had a special plan... It won't be a serious injury."
Even though Gu Qingsheng mustered up the energy to say these words, Xu Qingyi still kept his head down.
She was now unconscious, her eyes were confused, and her head felt heavy. The fever had invaded deep into Gu Qingsheng's body.
Neither of them spoke, only Gu Qingsheng's heavy and painful breathing was very obvious.
When Gu Qingsheng saw Xu Qingyi's guilty look for the first time, he was happy in his heart, but he didn't like it.
Whether in the past life or this life, Xu Qingyi should be worshipped in his eyes and the light in the eyes of all women in Jin and Chu.
In her previous life, she disliked going out even more after Bai Lu died.
At night she looked at the moon, and during the day she went to the National Temple to listen to Xu Qingyi's lectures. The scriptures were complicated and verbose, and she found them boring when she was young.
Maybe it was because he had experienced a lot, or maybe it was because this was spoken by Xu Qingyi.
But after listening to it, she felt much more at ease.
There were countless noble ladies in the classroom, and it was always packed.
Xu Qingyi was sitting in the middle of the crowd of heads. He was more mature then than he is now, but it was also those years that made his picturesque appearance more charming.
It is because of this that he never even glanced at himself in the corner.
Just like a god high above.
At that time, Gu Qingsheng felt that even touching it would be a desecration of this deity.
No, let him show such pain.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she said to Xu Qingyi in a hoarse voice
"Master, please lower your head. I want to tell you something..."
Xu Qingyi then raised his head slightly, then bent down according to Gu Qingsheng's instructions.
The two people were getting closer and closer, Gu Qingsheng's hot breath sprayed on Xu Qingyi's cheek, and the numbing feeling went straight into his heart.
Hiding the deeper things in his eyes, Xu Qingyi curled up his trembling fingers slightly, and then a pair of hands climbed onto his shoulders.
The fragrance of the woman's hair and body mixed together, hitting the heart and beating a very loud gong and drum.
“As for me…”
The sound of a cat whimpering echoed around Xu Qingyi's ears.
"I have always regarded the Imperial Master as a deity that cannot be desecrated, and I love him in my heart... He was also my only faith during those bleak years..."
"Master Imperial Master, please don't worry so much about my affairs..."
Her voice became softer and softer, her breathing became heavier and heavier, and then she fell asleep quietly.
His hands were still resting weakly on Xu Qingyi's shoulders, and Gu Qingsheng's red eyes had not yet calmed down.
Xu Qingyi maintained this posture for a long time.
Every word was like a thick rope that bound his heart tightly.
Keep tightening, relaxing, then tearing and piecing together.
Overwhelmed by huge emotions, he simply covered his eyes and looked at Gu Qingsheng cautiously, fearing that the scene before him was fake.
The outstretched hand stopped at Gu Qingsheng's cheek. Xu Qingyi held her breath and touched Gu Qingsheng's cheek tremblingly.
"Me too……"
"If you have someone you like, Princess..."
"Even if you're delirious and don't know what you're doing, please allow me to treat this moment as real..."
Someone was whispering in the night, and outside the window, pear blossoms mixed with moonlight were rustling all over the ground.
…
When I woke up, there was a bowl of very light chicken soup on the table, and the chicken fat on top had been rinsed clean.
There are several tonic herbs in the chicken soup, and steam is rising from it.
Last night, it seemed...
Has Xu Qingyi been here?
What exactly happened...
Gu Qingsheng racked his brains but couldn't remember a single thing.
Considering that I had a fever last night, it is actually quite normal that I can’t remember it.
Bai Lu pushed the door open and came in with a smile on her face. When she saw Gu Qingsheng sober, her smile deepened.
"Princess, you woke up just in time. I just made some chicken soup. Drink it while it's hot to replenish your body."
Gu Qingsheng's thoughts were interrupted by Bai Lu, and he remembered that they were in Luofo Temple.
The chicken soup in front of me is a bit strange.
"Bai Lu, where did you get this chicken soup?"
Luofo Temple is a place of asceticism. Even the queen is required to eat only vegetarian food here. Although she is injured now, she does not believe that the monks can make an exception for her.
If by chance, Xu Qingyi saw it again...
"No, no, Bailu, put the chicken soup away quickly."
