The figures of those people kept turning around in Xu Qingyi's mind like ghosts, and countless cold words made his whole body begin to tremble.
The bright moon and the fresh breeze are him.
He is gentle and compliant.
He is surrounded by pure beauty and kindness.
But at this time, who will rescue him?
I still remember that long time ago, that person looked at me coldly.
"Poor, pathetic."
"The Imperial Master who pardoned the world cannot redeem his own sins. How pitiful and tragic."
He hunched over, constantly pulling at his hair, and lost his balance, falling to the ground.
The pain in my bones is so obvious, and the loneliness in my heart is gradually magnified.
…
After a few days of rest, when Bai Lu's injuries were almost healed, they finally set out on their journey back home.
Between Xu Qingyi's carriage and Lin's carriage, Gu Qingsheng decisively got on Lin's carriage.
Seeing Gu Qingsheng coming up, Lin, who was about to stuff the grapes into her mouth, was a little flattered.
The people of Jin and Chu were open-minded, but they also deeply understood the differences between men and women.
However, because that person is Xu Qingyi, no matter how Gu Qingsheng and Xu Qingyi get along, others will not think too much.
Just because that person is Xu Qingyi.
Seeing Gu Qingsheng's attitude towards him this time, Lin Shi didn't bother him much in the past two days. He originally thought that Gu Qingsheng would definitely not go with him on the way back, but he didn't expect...
Xun Huan quickly collected the grapes and stepped aside
"Meet the princess."
Gu Qingsheng glanced at her, sat down far away from Lin, and closed his eyes.
Bai Lu ignored the two of them, covered Gu Qingsheng with a blanket and said nothing.
She did not greet Lin, and Xunhuan looked at Bailu with great resentment, but seeing Lin's eyes, he suppressed his emotions.
"This is the cake I brought from the capital. Isn't Qing'er's favorite from this place? Thinking about how you've been in Luofo Temple for so long and you're injured, you must be craving this, so I bought it in advance. You can try it."
The pastries were made into the shape of osmanthus flowers, with red hearts wrapped in crystal skin and sprinkled with icing sugar, which made people's mouths water just by looking at them.
However, Gu Qingsheng did not even raise his eyes, and said coldly
"Don't waste your time. It's not too late to eat these things when you get back. It won't be too late in the next two days. You can eat them yourselves."
Lin's expression was dull for a moment, and he put his hand back awkwardly, feeling a little uncomfortable.
"Well, it's not too late to eat it when Qing'er wants to."
The whole journey was filled with an awkward atmosphere.
The journey back from Luofo Temple was fast. Since Gu Qingsheng was here, Lin didn't dare to interfere. No matter what happened along the way, she had to look at Gu Qingsheng's face.
The officers and soldiers also found this scene very interesting. On the way here, Lin acted superior to everyone, as if the whole world belonged to her.
Now that Gu Qingsheng was here, she became obedient instead, which made the soldiers marvel at her and they called the princess a deity in their hearts.
After three days' journey, they arrived in the capital.
Because Xu Qingyi was already in the imperial city in the eyes of the people, no one paid attention to the two carriages escorted by officers and soldiers this time.
First, Gu Qingsheng and Lin were sent to Prince Duan's Mansion. From a distance, they could see Prince Duan and his men waiting in front of the gate to greet them.
Before going to Luofo Temple, Prince Duan had a strong and steady figure, and walked with a breeze. But now, when he lifted the curtain and looked out, he felt that his figure had become a little thin.
It must be because the news of my injury was reported back to the capital, so I was worried about myself.
Her eyes softened and she sighed softly.
Seeing this, Lin took over
"When the prince heard that Qing'er was injured, he was so worried that he couldn't eat or sleep. He went to the palace as soon as he heard the news and asked the emperor to let him go to Luofo Temple to pick you up. However, considering your father's old leg injury, the emperor did not agree."
As he spoke, he looked at Gu Qingsheng's expression, but no matter how he looked, the other person's face was still calm and no emotion could be seen.
Lin felt more and more that she couldn't see through Gu Qingsheng, which made her feel as if things were out of her control, and she felt uncomfortable.
"Father."
When they arrived at the gate of Prince Duan's mansion, Gu Qingsheng got off the carriage first and was supported by Bai Lu. The moment he saw Prince Duan, he couldn't help but tremble in the last part of his voice.
Prince Duan went forward and supported Gu Qingsheng. He was obviously very emotional, but after a tense inquiry, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and patted her shoulder.
"Just come back safely, just come back safely."
He looked towards the relatively low-profile carriage at the rear, stepped forward and made an order to the carriage.
"Thank you, Imperial Master, for your help again..."
In return, a breeze lifted the curtain, and a light and elegant fragrance came from inside.
"No problem."
Then I heard such a calm sentence coming from the carriage.
Gu Qingsheng turned his back to the carriage and walked into Prince Duan's mansion after hearing this, without any desire to continue listening.
When the two of them were in this situation, Miao Lanlan had no choice but to sigh in resentment.
She left a note for Xu Qingyi, planning to stay with Gu Qingsheng, so Xu Qingyi did not pursue Miao Lanlan's choice.
After a while, the rewards from the palace began to flow into the Prince Duan's Mansion.
Gu Qingsheng saved the Queen's life, which was an incomparable feat. The rewards were so great that they filled up two courtyards and couldn't even hold them all.
What made Gu Qingsheng feel somewhat relieved was that his brother Gu Fengnan, who was in the frontier, was promoted to deputy general because of his deeds.
I wonder what Gu Fengnan thought when he heard this news in the border area.
The matter has been settled.
At night, a small carriage came in from the back door of Prince Duan's Mansion.
Under the dim light, Gu Qingsheng's face glowed softly. Under the heat of the fire, the needle was burned red and then pierced into the handkerchief in her other hand.
Zheng Xueyi still had the smell of weathered weather on her body, and the dusty journey made her look a little vicissitudes of life.
"Is your injury feeling better?"
When Gu Qingsheng asked this question, Zheng Xueyi took a long time to realize that she was referring to the bite on her arm by Du Wensa. She immediately waved her arm.
"They are all minor injuries and have healed long ago."
"I brought that woman back with me. She's now imprisoned in the dungeon. What should we do with her?"
"Why punish her?"
In this cold night, her words are a little cold
"Just lock her up first. I'm afraid no one knows she was captured alive yet. So let's take advantage of the situation and make everyone think she's dead."
Zheng Xueyi frowned, and tried her best to figure out what Gu Qingsheng meant. It was not until she leaned over to Zheng Xueyi and whispered a few words that her frown finally relaxed.
