"Bai Lu, are you going to lie to me too?"
Bai Lu's reaction further confirmed what Gu Qingsheng was thinking. She suddenly sighed. It was this sigh that made Bai Lu unable to hold back and she knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to Gu Qingsheng.
"That's not the case, Princess, that's not the case! I didn't mean to hide anything from you, Princess!"
"It's because of this matter that the Grand Master warned us. If we tell it, it will bring misfortune to ourselves and those around us!"
"It's nothing that I'm such a servile person! I was just afraid that it would have a bad influence on the princess, so I didn't say anything!"
Gu Qingsheng's eyelids jumped when he heard this.
She felt helpless. No matter what, she couldn't imagine that the Imperial Master would say such lies to children.
Bai Lu and the others actually believed it one by one, without any objection or telling her.
It's so weird.
What magic does Xu Qingyi have?
"Never mind."
Bai Lu said that, how could Gu Qingsheng blame her? He immediately waved his hand
"Actually, I already know all these things, but you don't need to know where I learned them."
"Since you're afraid that speaking out will bring misfortune to me, then I won't let you speak. I'll ask you questions and you'll answer them. Do you understand?"
Although he didn't tell Gu Qingsheng, Gu Qingsheng still knew about it.
In an instant, several ways to bring misfortune to Gu Qingsheng came out of Bai Lu's mind. She was frightened and looked at Gu Qingsheng in horror.
"Princess! Who on earth told you this?! They're just hoping for your well-being!"
The little girl's sharp voice came through, and Gu Qingsheng frowned.
How much she wanted to tell Bai Lu that this was not true at all and that what they heard were all rumors!
But he didn't want to call Xu Qingyi a liar, so he could only swallow his anger and deal with Bai Lu.
"It's okay. This is... what Master Jingyuan told me. It won't hurt me anyway. I ask, you answer. Do you understand?"
In fact, she was skeptical about this matter, but Gu Qingsheng seemed very anxious, so Bai Lu had no idea what to do.
My princess should always be able to find a way.
Bai Lu swallowed and nodded hesitantly.
"Okay, let me ask you, after I fainted, did Xu Qingyi... the Imperial Master go on a killing spree?"
As if thinking of something terrible, Bai Lu's eyes were dull for a moment, then she nodded, her lips moving for a while.
"yes."
really.
What Chu Zhiyao said was not false.
Xu Qingyi really broke the rules for himself.
"So, how did we get to Luofo Temple? Where is Xu Qingyi?"
"After the princess was injured, the Imperial Master took all those bandits..."
Her words trembled for a moment, and she continued
"Kill them all. After killing them all, I will carry you, the princess, and leave first."
"We were escorted all the way to Luofo Temple by General Chu, and were three days behind the Grand Master."
"After arriving at Luofo Temple, you, my princess, have been settled in. The rest of us haven't seen the Imperial Preceptor since."
Gu Qingsheng seemed to understand what the others meant.
Even though no one else had seen Xu Qingyi again, she had.
Bai Lu's ear room is at her door, so Xu Qingyi will definitely be seen by Bai Lu when he comes in.
That’s why Bai Lu said that.
"However, I have seen the Imperial Preceptor come to the Princess's room a few times to deliver chicken soup. I originally wanted to stop him, but then..."
Speaking of this, Bai Lu actually felt a little guilty. Gu Qingsheng could tell at a glance what Bai Lu felt guilty about.
"You originally wanted to stop him, but then you thought about how powerful the Imperial Master was and you were afraid of being cursed, so you..."
Bai Lu felt embarrassed for a moment when her worries were spoken out.
"My princess, you can't say that. I was more concerned about what would happen if the princess was cursed by the Imperial Preceptor! That's why I didn't dare to stop her. And after the Imperial Preceptor left that night, I had already tested the poison with a silver needle. I was relieved to find out that the chicken soup was not poisonous!"
"It's strange, though."
Bai Lu pondered
"The Imperial Master always comes in the middle of the night, and for some reason, it seems like every time he comes, he becomes weaker. The last time I saw him, he had lost a lot of weight and seemed to be walking lightly."
"I even asked him if he hadn't been eating well recently. The Imperial Master said that since he had just arrived at the temple, he needed to follow certain rules, so I didn't ask any more questions."
Bai Lu didn't notice that when she said these words, Gu Qingsheng's face became more and more serious. Before Bai Lu finished speaking, he asked excitedly:
"You said he seems to be getting weaker and weaker? Is there anything wrong with his body? Is there anything different?"
She suddenly interrupted Bai Lu so excitedly that Bai Lu was frightened.
"It seems, it seems that I remember that the Imperial Master loved to wear light-colored clothes, but recently he has been particularly fond of wearing dark colors."
Gu Qingsheng pursed her lips to digest this information, then slowly stood up and supported herself with her arms. However, the force was transmitted to her back in the moment she exerted force, causing her to scream in pain.
"Princess!"
Bai Lu hurriedly stood up and went forward to support Gu Qingsheng, then slowly put her down again
"Princess, what are you doing? You're still injured and your wound opened up last night. I didn't even know when you ran away. It's only thanks to Master Jingyuan that you were brought back."
"I'm still recovering from my injuries. How can I keep moving? I'd better rest for a few more days."
"I want……"
Naturally, he understood that what Bai Lu said was right, but Gu Qingsheng still felt like there was a stone falling high in his heart that couldn't land on the ground.
What exactly did Xu Qingyi go through? She really wanted to know.
"Just calm down."
Just as Gu Qingsheng was about to try to get up and struggle for the second time, a warm current suddenly flowed through his brain and reached his ears.
Miao Lanlan's voice was like a twig in spring, wrapping up Gu Qingsheng's nervous mood and soothing him.
"He'll be fine. He's not an ordinary person."
Only then did Gu Qingsheng remember that they had been together before Xu Qingyi gave Miao Lanlan to him, and Miao Lanlan must know exactly what happened to Xu Qingyi.
Why didn’t I think of asking Miao Lanlan?
She cursed herself for being so anxious, then waved to Bai Lu.
"Bai Lu, you go down first. I'll call you if there's anything else."
After looking at Gu Qingsheng worriedly, Bai Lu retreated hesitantly.
Miao Lanlan's voice became louder after Bai Lu left.
"Why are you so anxious? He's fine for now, don't alert him!"
Just now, Miao Lanlan's voice penetrated his ears but was not heard by Bai Lu. Gu Qingsheng was curious about this, but he was more concerned about Xu Qingyi.
"What do you mean by temporarily alright? What does temporarily alright mean? What on earth did he go through?!"
