"Think about it."
Gu Qingsheng threw the broken jade aside casually.
"Think about it, she said she found this jade pendant in the spring. What's under the spring?"
The spiritual spring in the back mountain is not deep, and there are layers of white pebbles underneath the spring.
Bai Lu thought about it, but couldn't think of anything else, so she could only frown.
"My lady, are you talking about those stones?"
"That's right."
"Baolan said that when they found this jade pendant at the bottom of the spring, there were so many pebbles underneath. If the jade pendant was so fragile, how come it didn't break even with the pebbles, but was crushed by my foot instead?"
Her smile made Bai Lu seem to understand something, and suddenly she clapped her hands.
"That's right! How could something given by the emperor be so fragile? It belongs to the emperor."
"so."
Gu Qingsheng smiled helplessly.
She really knows Luo Zhaozhao and Baolan too well.
"The real thing must still be in their hands. I wonder what they are up to. We just need to be prepared to welcome them."
These words made Bai Lu look serious.
"Understood, Princess."
…
Baolan ran out of Gu Qingsheng's room with a swollen face, but she attracted a lot of attention and was pointed at by people along the way.
Moreover, after the slap just now, her face was only slightly swollen, but now the skin has reacted, becoming red and bright, with half of her eyes squeezed inwards.
These courtyards were filled with the girls' personal maids. Baolan was trembling all over as she endured their strange looks.
However, at the same time, a ray of light flashed across her eyes.
She walked very quickly and didn't even knock on the door when she arrived at Luo Zhaozhao's room.
It was a beautiful spring day, and the peach blossoms outside the window were in full bloom. Luo Zhaozhao leaned on the couch, fanning herself with a small round fan.
The sound of Baolan entering the room startled her. Before she could frown or complain, she was suddenly startled when Baolan turned around.
"What happened to you?! Did they hit you?"
Luo Zhaozhao suddenly stood up, walked quickly forward, gently held Baolan's face and looked at her.
I couldn't help but gasp when I saw the injuries on her face.
"They are really going too far! How could they beat you up like this?"
After saying this, there was an indignant expression on his face.
"Let's go! Let's go find the Queen and ask her for justice! Even if she's a princess, it's not right for her to hit someone!"
Pulling Baolan's hand, Luo Zhaozhao frowned, which made Baolan's eyes wet. She held Luo Zhaozhao's hands with both hands and shook her head.
"It's okay, miss."
"I never thought they would be so dissolute, but... fortunately, the matter was settled. This slap in the face was worth it."
After hearing that the matter was settled, the anger between Luo Zhaozhao's brows obviously dissipated a lot, covering up the light bursting from the depths of his eyes. He held Baolan's hand and said earnestly:
"Baolan, you've been wronged."
"I will definitely give you justice in this matter."
…
As the night deepened, the sound of string music became more and more obvious.
There is an independent courtyard in the remote courtyard of Luofo Temple.
At that time, Xu Qingyi had just taken a bath. His long hair with some water droplets fell on his chest, and the outer robe he was wearing was a little loose. As Bai Lu said, his figure was indeed much thinner, his eyebrows were drooping, and his stunning eyes were full of fatigue.
He hadn't put away the guqin in his hand when a loud noise from the door disturbed a few of the strings and a few inappropriate syllables flowed out of his hand.
Looking at the door that was slammed open, Xu Qingyi was surprised for a moment, then coughed and his expression softened.
"Why are you here? Are you feeling better now?"
He stood up and looked at Gu Qingsheng head-on. Without any surprise, he walked forward and carefully locked the door.
This weak look made Gu Qingsheng even more certain that something must have happened to Xu Qingyi.
"Master, I am feeling better now."
Gu Qingsheng replied coldly, and suddenly took a step forward and approached Xu Qingyi, his eyes full of inquiry.
"Why does it feel like the Imperial Master is getting weaker and weaker? Huh?"
Gu Qingsheng could only barely reach Xu Qingyi's chest, but he felt that the girl's aggressive look was a bit oppressive.
I couldn't help but turn my eyes away, put my fingers to my lips and coughed softly.
"Just caught a cold, nothing serious."
Although that's what he said, Xu Qingyi's weakness is not just caused by a cold.
Because he was unwilling to tell himself now, Gu Qingsheng felt some anger in his heart for no reason, and slowly pulled the ocarina off his neck and slammed it on the table.
"The Imperial Master has been a bit elusive these past two days, and I haven't seen him much."
"I saw the wonders of this ocarina in their entirety yesterday, and the wound on my back has almost healed. All thanks to the Imperial Master's concern. However, this gift is somewhat unusual and valuable, so I cannot accept it."
"Now that I see the Imperial Master is still breathing, I feel relieved. I will return this ocarina to the Imperial Master. If there is nothing else, I will go back first."
She said all these words in one go and turned to leave. Xu Qingyi was a little dazed looking at the ocarina on the table, then turned around and stretched out her hand towards the angry Gu Qingsheng's back.
But with just this one arm raised, a long red whip mark appeared from the edge of the inner garment from the sleeve! It was as glaring as a poisonous snake climbing on the wrist!
The wound made Xu Qingyi feel like he was electrocuted and he hurriedly withdrew his hand. He coughed even more violently and the whole room was filled with his hoarse voice.
Gu Qingsheng, who was about to open the door to leave, finally couldn't bear it. He walked to the table and poured a glass of water for Xu Qingyi, stuffed it into his hand somewhat forcefully, and then sat down on a chair beside him without saying anything else.
"Princess..."
Xu Qingyi took a sip of the water in the cup and her expression improved a little. She frowned, and it was not known whether it was Gu Qingsheng's illusion, but there was a hint of grievance and helplessness in Xu Qingyi's voice.
"You are, why are you mad at me?"
It would have been fine if he hadn't said this, but once he said it, it was like he had exposed the little secret in Gu Qingsheng's heart. Gu Qingsheng immediately glared at him.
"How dare I be angry with the Imperial Master! The Imperial Master is so brave! He single-handedly faced off against over 2,000 people and slaughtered them in the Cliff Valley! And he didn't even allow me to know about this!"
"How dare I get angry?! I hope the Imperial Master isn't angry with me!"
Xu Qingyi's brows were already a little serious when Gu Qingsheng finished speaking these words. His eyes kept dodging and he didn't even know where to put his hands.
"You...how did you know that?"
Miao Lanlan, who had been ignored at the table, said softly
"The truth will come to light sooner or later. I'm telling you this. She'll find out sooner or later."
"yes."
Gu Qingsheng Road
"It's just a matter of knowing it sooner or later. I don't know if the Grand Master intended to tell me from the beginning."
