"You've already left me once! Not again! Not again!"
She clutched her sleeves very tightly, as if she was really afraid that she would disappear.
Xu Qingyi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he moved closer to her and touched her forehead.
Because both of them had just come back from being caught in the rain, their bodies were still cold. Gu Qingsheng was fine, as his body warmed up after drinking ginger soup, but Xu Qingyi didn't even have time to change his clothes.
Now when two people touch each other, they just feel cold and their eyelashes collide with each other.
"I won't leave you, Kiyomori."
"Not now, and not ever."
"I've already repaid the favor I owed the governor's daughter. I gave her a deer antler from her body as a token of my gratitude for saving my master when I was little."
"I won't let you worry about gains and losses again, never."
A tear as big as a bean suddenly rolled down from the corner of Gu Qingsheng's eye.
She had experienced everything in her previous life, but to see life and death again would only make her more sad.
The scent of sandalwood mixed with the smell of rain in front of her became stronger. She raised her eyes slightly and met a pair of warm eyes full of autumn water.
The closer the smell got, the softer the lips slowly touched. Gu Qingsheng's eyelashes trembled, and he opened his eyes wide, but his tears continued to fall even harder. His hands climbed onto Xu Qingyi's shoulders, supporting him and deepening the kiss.
…
"Zhao Zhao."
Chu Zhiyao observed Luo Zhaozhao's expression carefully, holding her hand and asking softly:
"Are the girls we sent to you recently not to your liking?"
"I carefully selected them, and they are very reliable in taking care of people, but you sent them back to me. You are not in good health now and need someone to take care of you."
Looking at the autumn rain outside, Luo Zhaozhao let Chu Zhiyao pull her, but she didn't even give him a look. Autumn was coming, and she felt a little sleepy. She yawned.
"No matter how well you take care of me, it's not as good as Baolan's."
He glanced at Chu Zhiyao pretending to be unintentional.
"You said Baolan did something wrong last time and was locked up by the emperor. I don't know if she will ever get out. Without her, no one can serve me to my satisfaction. It seems I have to ask my father to write a letter to the emperor and plead for Baolan's release."
She said this seemingly unintentionally, but Chu Zhiyao was in a very complicated mood. His palms were sweating as he held Luo Zhaozhao's hand, but he hid it well on his face.
"That's right. Baolan has been locked up for such a long time without any movement. The emperor may have forgotten about her a long time ago. I think we should urge her to do something. You don't have to trouble father about this. I will personally send someone to urge her tomorrow. She's just a maid. The emperor should agree."
Having said this, Luo Zhaozhao turned around and smiled happily at Chu Zhiyao. She put her hand on his face and rubbed it carefully. Something seemed to be flashing in her eyes.
"Really? Thank you so much...husband..."
After Chu Zhiyao left, Luo Zhaozhao watched his figure disappear in the rain, slammed the door shut and began to retch.
He went to the basin and rubbed the place where Chu Zhiyao had touched frantically, as if it was stained with something dirty, and the expression on his face became more and more disgusted.
"It's so dirty, so dirty, so dirty, so dirty, so dirty!!!"
Only after washing his hands until they were all red and still felt a stinging sensation from time to time did Luo Zhaozhao stop.
She stood up and opened the cabinet above her head. Inside the cabinet was a letter and a box.
The letter contained the entire story that the stranger had told him last time.
Inside the box, a finger with its bones exposed was an unusually terrifying green color.
The sound of gnashing teeth was heard, and Luo Zhaozhao was now a little crazy.
"Baolan, Baolan."
"Look, this evil guy is still pretending nothing happened, even though I already know everything."
"I know my eyes are yours. I know he hired someone to pretend to be you. I also know that he hurt you badly."
"And now, I'm about to marry this culprit! What a shame! Baolan!"
"I will use the eyes you gave me! Watch carefully how he pushes himself into the abyss step by step."
The next day, Chu Zhiyao came back from court to see Luo Zhaozhao and asked a maid at the door:
"How is it, has Madam eaten today?"
"No."
The maid who cleaned the house shook her head
"Madam didn't eat a single bite today either. She only drank a few sips of the deer antler soup given by the Imperial Master."
"Yeah."
Chu Zhiyao frowned and sighed
"I see. I'll go in and see her first."
He pushed open the door and saw Luo Zhaozhao sitting by the window just like yesterday. The rainy weather continued and his mood didn't improve much either.
Turning around, she saw Chu Zhiyao pushing the door open. Luo Zhaozhao smiled, showing her weakness.
"So, is there any news about Baolan today? Did the Emperor agree to release her?"
Sadness appeared on Chu Zhiyao's face. He sighed slowly and sat down next to Luo Zhaozhao. He looked at her questioning face.
"Well, the Emperor said that what Baolan did last time was very serious, and I'm afraid it's impossible to release her."
"And the Emperor also said that it's not convenient for a maid like that to serve you. You're already in poor health, and if she holds a grudge against you and tries to do something bad, wouldn't that be even more worrying?"
The last incident could be said to be Luo Zhaozhao personally sending "Baolan" in, so it was not surprising that Chu Zhiyao used this as a shield this time.
Without showing disappointment, Luo Zhaozhao nodded sensibly.
"Yes, the emperor is right, so that's how it is."
…
"Is this the place?"
Gu Miao appeared in casual clothes at the door of Huaixiang Pavilion and looked around.
Luo Zhaozhao smiled beside her
"Yes, I heard that there is an old acquaintance of the Imperial Master here. Princess, you can go in and take a look."
Before she could finish, Gu Miao ran in.
When Gu Miao ran in, the secret guard behind Luo Zhaozhao appeared and looked at Luo Zhaozhao's gloomy face.
"Madam, why is this..."
"Why else?"
Luo Zhaozhao sneered.
Chu Zhiyao's arrival in the morning made Luo Zhaozhao more certain that her plan should be carried out as soon as possible.
"As long as you can find out whether one of the two sisters Chunguo and Xiguo is among them, that will be enough."
She learned about Chun Guo and Xi Guo's story by chance from Master Jing Yuan when she was a child. In order to bring Xu Qingyi back, Jing Yuan knew everything about his past.
I heard that two people recently came from a small remote mountain village to look for a high-ranking official. It would be interesting if they were these two sisters.
If Gu Miao could get to know these two sisters, would she still need to use her hands to deal with Gu Qingsheng?
It seems that these two sisters were the only pair who were rescued and escaped at that time, so they were considered smart.
Killing someone with a borrowed knife is often the plan with the highest probability of success.
Gu Qingsheng, so what if she's a princess? You have plenty of people to deal with her.
