Gu Qingsheng’s mind is not on Miao Lanlan’s witchcraft right now.
Her clothes and bags were tied in a mess as she hurried out of the door. As soon as she went out, she saw a large number of officers and soldiers surrounding Xu Qingyi's door.
Seeing Gu Qingsheng coming out, the officers and soldiers who were watching from behind made way for her. They scratched their heads and were about to call her, but Gu Qingsheng stopped them by shaking his head.
Gu Qingsheng walked through the crowd and reached the front row.
Through the gap in the crowd, she saw Xu Qingyi sitting very weakly on the couch, and Jingyuan was quietly taking his pulse beside him.
These officers and soldiers were obviously a group of rough people on weekdays, speaking in loud and argumentative voices, and eating meat with big mouthfuls and being unrestrained and free-spirited on the battlefield.
And now, everyone was watching this scene nervously as if holding their breath, as if the slightest noise would disturb Master Jingyuan.
Because of the atmosphere, Gu Qingsheng also breathed lightly.
Just looking at that pale and cold face quietly.
Ever since coming to Luofo Temple, Xu Qingyi has been getting thinner day by day. This kind of fragility has a unique beauty on him, so when those young ladies from official families were still there, they all admired his beauty, and no one cared about his body.
Even Gu Qingsheng himself only had an unattainable sense of respect for Xu Qingyi at the beginning.
As if sensing the slightly painful look in Gu Qingsheng's eyes among the crowd, Xu Qingyi slowly straightened his eyes and then raised his head, looking into Gu Qingsheng's eyes without any deviation.
That look was as gentle, kind and soft as usual.
And alienation, and indifference.
It was so cold that it made one's teeth chatter, just like the ice surface of the Grand Canal during the coldest winter.
Gu Qingsheng suddenly bit his lower lip.
Sure enough, everything that happened in the cold spring was caused by the poisonous insects.
She suddenly felt a little amused and helpless about herself.
After experiencing Hanquan throwing himself into his arms, Xu Qingyi probably wanted to get rid of him very much.
Gu Qingsheng lowered her eyes, and the light in them dimmed. She turned around swiftly without looking back.
"Are you really not going to go see him?"
Miao Lanlan naturally felt the indifference in Xu Qingyi's eyes towards Gu Qingsheng, so she was very cautious when asking these questions. Xu Qingyi's eyes were undoubtedly slapping her in the face.
She had been speaking for Xu Qingyi in front of Gu Qingsheng, but she was so unable to seize the opportunity.
Then again, Gu Qingsheng didn't spend much time with Xu Qingyi, so he didn't know her very well.
But Miao Lanlan was different. She knew clearly that Xu Qingyi was in a bad mood. However, Xu Qingyi had just woken up. What kind of temper could he have?
Does the national teacher also have a bad temper when waking up?
"Hasn't this already been seen?"
Gu Qingsheng answered, she returned to the room and closed the door. Just as she was about to take off her outer coat, she realized that she had gone out in too much of a hurry and had tied the bag into a knot.
The knot was fat and big, and it looked quite ugly hanging on her chest. She finally understood why some soldiers had cast strange glances at her just now.
After trying for a long time, the knot became bigger as Gu Qingsheng tried to untie it. Several of her pink lacerations were torn. Feeling anxious and frustrated, she prepared to find a pair of scissors to cut the knot.
While looking for scissors, Miao Lanlan said
"It's different. Alas, he's really not like this usually..."
"He's really..."
“Crack.”
A sudden sharp sound came from Gu Qingsheng's chest. Miao Lanlan slowly stopped talking, looked at Gu Qingsheng who had a calm expression, and suddenly swallowed her saliva.
"Hmm? What did you say?"
Gu Qingsheng asked Miao Lanlan.
“Nothing… nothing…”
Miao Lanlan didn't dare to say anything.
This time she really got scared.
A note was thrown in from the window that had never been closed, attracting Gu Qingsheng's attention.
She walked over, picked up the note, looked at it, then walked over and opened the window.
Zheng Xueyi was hanging on the beam with one hand, her legs against the wall, and her high ponytail looked free and easy.
This is nothing. What is more worrying is the fainted vendor she is holding.
“You are…”
Pointing at the vendor, Gu Qingsheng looked at Zheng Xueyi calmly.
Based on her understanding of Zheng Xueyi, she never does meaningless things.
The streets below would soon become bustling with activity in the early morning. Zheng Xueyi glanced down and nodded her chin.
"Let's go in first."
He first threw the vendor in his hand through the window. It hit the floor with a thud, which was creepy just to hear.
Even so, the merchant still didn't wake up.
Zheng Xueyi had come back to her senses at this moment and flipped over, brushing the dust off her hands.
"I beat him up pretty badly. He might not wake up for a while."
The man who came forward turned over and saw a man with bruises and swellings all over his body, like a pig's head.
The corners of Gu Qingsheng's mouth twitched.
This wasn't even considered a hard enough beating; this was a beating to death.
The more he looked at this man, the more Gu Qingsheng felt that his swollen facial features were very familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before...
After thinking for a long time, Gu Qingsheng finally remembered that this fat and big-eared vendor was the one who threw apples at Liu Yanqiu last time!
If Gu Qingsheng hadn't looked at him twice more at that time, he really wouldn't have recognized him now.
"I just passed by here and found him sneaking around downstairs, and he was always asking people about the people in this inn."
"One of the people staying in this inn is you, and the other is the current imperial tutor. His inquiring into this is already very suspicious, so I wanted to go up and find out what's going on. Who knows?"
Zheng Xueyi's tone rose in vain
"This guy ran away when he saw me, like I was a ghost! I might as well just beat him up and carry him back!"
What I said is as simple as throwing a stone and walking on the road.
Gu Qingsheng did not hide the current situation and the fact that he and the Imperial Master were here from Zheng Xueyi.
The two of them were connected because of the village tax issue. The interests involved were complicated, and it would not be a good thing to hide it from her too much.
"You beat him like this. As you said, he might not wake up in a short time. We may have to wait for a while."
“No need.”
Suddenly, Zheng Xueyi seemed to be motivated. She rolled up her sleeves and let her hair float freely behind her head.
"I'll go get a bucket of water and splash it on him. I guarantee he'll wake up right away."
Seeing Zheng Xueyi's attitude, she seemed to be serious. Gu Qingsheng stopped her.
"Or maybe we should wait..."
Listening to Zheng Xueyi's method, it feels like the torture she uses on criminals in prison.
We don't know the merchant's purpose yet. If we act rashly, it will be difficult to deal with if any trouble arises.
