Hearing Gu Qingsheng's voice, Du Wensa waved away the dust, coughed twice, and ran over.
Su Huai on her back had her head covered with a square scarf, but her body was covered in blood.
Gu Qingsheng hurried to meet him
“What are you doing!”
"Don't say anything! Save her! She's dying!"
The situation was urgent, and Du Wensa didn't have much time to reminisce with Gu Qingsheng. She just carried Su Huai on her back again.
Xu Qingyi stepped forward and grabbed Su Huai's drooping arm to take his pulse. When he felt the weak breath, he couldn't help but frown.
"Yan Hui Villa is not far from here, hurry up and move her over there!"
…
In the palace, a lamp was still on in the middle of the night.
In front of Gu Miao, there were countless albums of Lin Song's life stories, one of which contained his information.
She yawned tiredly and turned another page of the book in her hand.
"Princess, it's so late, don't look at it, go get some rest first."
Lan Xuan brought a bowl of bird's nest to Gu Miao and comforted her.
Gu Miao then looked up at the window. The moon was already high in the sky. He couldn't help but feel impatient.
"I've been thinking about what Zhao Zhao said today. Lin Song is indeed talented. Otherwise, the old tutor wouldn't be so sad after his death and wouldn't have missed court for several days. But he was a bastard after all..."
When she mentioned the word "bastard", Gu Miao suddenly recalled the stunning glimpse she had seen at that time.
The man's face in the sunlight was incredibly beautiful.
He slowly closed his mouth again and began to stroke the rim of the cup with his fingers, as if he was thinking about something.
Lan Xuan naturally knew what Gu Miao was thinking, so she came closer and patted her shoulders.
"In fact, in my opinion, Princess, there is no need to worry too much."
"I know what the princess is worried about. On the one hand, Mr. Lin is a bastard, and on the other hand..."
She rolled her eyes and spoke in a low voice
"Princess, you're just thinking about our Imperial Master..."
After the words in his heart were spoken, Gu Miao coughed and his face turned slightly red.
The love I had for Xu Qingyi at first sight has not changed until now.
But maybe because I've been rejected too many times, or maybe I'm tired of being looked down upon, I haven't really cared about it these days.
Rumors about Xu Qingyi and Gu Qingsheng were rampant in the capital. She was angry all day long and had even gone to the National Temple to question Xu Qingyi, but was ignored.
Thinking of these things, he couldn't help feeling sad again, and his proud face rarely showed a look of worry.
Seeing that what she said was right, Lan Xuan continued
"But Princess, think about it, this isn't such a bad thing."
"Even if the Imperial Preceptor and the princess are in love, he is still an Imperial Preceptor after all. Do you think that the Emperor would allow such a person to become his consort?"
"Although Lin Song is a bastard, he is deeply loved by the old minister. Moreover, he already has such a close relationship with the Grand Tutor. His future is limitless. If the princess chooses Lin Song as her consort, the position of the Imperial Preceptor can allow the old minister to make some moves..."
"If we can completely pull him away from the emperor, what should we do then? Isn't it up to the princess to decide?"
Lan Xuan said these words with a smile, but it made Gu Miao feel frightened.
Even though he heard such an outrageous thing, a glimmer of hope ignited in Gu Miao's heart.
She even imagined how Xu Qingyi would kneel down and beg her when he was in despair.
Immediately, a faint light flashed in his eyes, and a strange smile appeared at the corner of his lips. He threw a hairpin on the table directly to the man.
"reward."
"Thank you, Princess! Thank you, Princess!"
…
When we arrived at Yan Hui Mansion, there were not many people there. It was probably a branch house, so there were not many people assigned there.
The boy who opened the door rubbed his eyes and twitched his mouth when he saw Xu Qingyi.
"Sir! Why are you here..."
Xu Qingyi immediately recognized the servant as someone close to Yan Hui, and immediately understood what was going on. Looking at the flickering candlelight in the distant courtyard, he couldn't help but ask,
"He's here?"
The servant felt a little embarrassed for a moment, scratched his head and blocked the door, as if he didn't want them to go in.
"Young Master, he... Young Master, he..."
The sound of a woman's laughter happened to come from the courtyard, which made the servant even more uncomfortable. Xu Qingyi looked calm and didn't seem surprised. He dodged the servant and went into the house. With Su Huai on his back, he said to the people behind him:
"To the side room."
Lady Xi looked at Su Huai's wounded appearance with tears in her eyes, and she kept patting Su Huai's back.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay Su Huai..."
Because she couldn't keep up with Xu Qingyi's pace, Madam Xi almost jogged along beside him, losing all her usual charm.
Finally they arrived at the side room. Xu Qingyi placed Su Huai on the couch. She had a headscarf tied around her face, so her features could not be seen.
Seeing this, Lady Xi wanted to untie her headscarf, but was stopped by Du Wensa.
"You have to... be prepared."
She knew it when she saw Gu Qingsheng's hand tremble.
Su Huai wore a headscarf to cover her face, there must be some other reason...
Thinking of her usual sweet and charming face, she felt sad and slowly lowered her head.
Holding Gu Qingsheng around him, Xu Qingyi also sighed.
When Xi Niang heard what Du Wensa said, her hand paused for a moment and then she quickened her movements and untied Su Huai's headscarf.
Under the headscarf, the originally plain and beautiful face was covered with scars of varying sizes, and covered with horrific blood scabs.
The gentle eyes were covered with scars, and the whole face was extremely miserable, without the solemn look of that time.
Xi Niangzi's hand stopped in the air, An Yi's face turned pale, and she collapsed to the ground. She stared at Su Huai's face in a daze, and finally tears fell from her eyes. She almost crawled to Su Huai's side and touched her face tremblingly.
"Su Huai...Su Huai, your face...you..."
"I……"
At the end, Lin Song saw Su Huai like this and seemed to be in a long period of self-blame.
"It's all my fault...it's all my fault..."
As if he had decided something, he suddenly turned around and pushed the door open, and the rest of his words seemed to be
"I'll go and beg the princess to come after me alone..."
“Don’t go!!!”
Lady Xi, who was standing beside Su Huai, had her back to Lin Song. Her eyes were dark, and her long hair obscured her expression. She was trembling all over. She kept clenching her handkerchief as she walked, gritting her teeth and saying,
“You’re not allowed to go…”
Judging from the sound, she must have been crying. Her slender hands hammered down on the couch.
"Don't go!"
"Do you know what this face means to Su Huai? You know... you know how much she..."
"And she destroyed her face without revealing your whereabouts! You go back now! Are you planning to make all of Su Huai's endurance and hard work go to waste?!"
