Chapter 21 Chapter 21 Perhaps she felt that sooner or later she would be able to...
In the carriage, Gu Shi presumptuously pulled Lingchuan's hair, and the hairpin on her head fell off and landed silently on the carpet.
"Gu Shi, what are you crazy about?"
She frowned, raised her eyes, and looked at him angrily.
"Lingchuan, you always make me feel unhappy."
Gu Shi sneered.
"That's your problem. I didn't do anything wrong."
After hearing these words, Lingchuan felt inexplicably happy.
Anyway, the two of them committed the sin together, but she has to bear all the consequences. Since she has taken responsibility, she is not wrong.
Gu Shi rushed over to bite her neck like a madman, and she pushed him away with her elbow.
"We are in a carriage, what are you doing?"
She whispered into his ear.
"I can't care less."
"Gu Shi, you're crazy."
"You're the one driving me crazy."
Lingchuan was angry and confused and found it funny. How could she force Gu Shi? It was almost Gu Shi who drove her crazy.
The seat in the carriage was narrow, and Gu Shi felt that he could not move freely, so he forcibly lifted up her skirt and half-knelt between her legs.
"If you don't want to be heard, keep quiet."
The cool breeze blew in and out between Lingchuan's pale and slender legs, and she felt ashamed and angry.
"Gu Shi, I'm going to scratch two bloody marks on your face, and then you'll have to face the civil and military officials with these injuries..."
Lingchuan reached out to grab his face, but he dodged impatiently, directly pulled off the silk cloth on her chest, and tied her wrists tightly.
"Don't move."
He brushed her hair back, revealing her angry eyes.
He wanted to calm her down, so he kissed her lips gently, but she bit him.
"Let's just forget it..."
He knew that what he did was wrong, and he untied the silk tied around Lingchuan's wrists with a guilty conscience. He touched her hair soothingly, simply tied her hair into a bun, and put the hairpin back in place.
He reached under Lingchuan's armpits, put her scattered skirt back on, fixed the clothes on her chest with silk, and kissed her face in a flattering manner.
"Don't blame me, I was impulsive just now."
Gu Shi reached out and hugged Lingchuan into his arms, letting her lie on his knees.
"Don't be angry, Lingchuan, talk to me."
Lingchuan gritted his teeth and secretly made up his mind to leave Gu Shi.
He could torture her and humiliate her at will, and when his conscience was against him he would pretend to be polite to her.
Whether it was good for her or not, it was all in his hands. He could do whatever he wanted without any consequences.
Even if he had a change of heart and treated her politely, it would just be a new way of playing.
If I were to burst into tears of gratitude for a tiny favor, then I would be truly despicable.
She sneered at Gu Shi and said sarcastically:
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness in treating my daughter well."
He held her very close, letting her rest her chin on his shoulder, and said in a low voice:
"Don't call me Prince... I like it best when you call me by my name."
Lingchuan smirked and kissed his face.
"Okay, Gu Shi, I'm not angry with you anymore."
Indeed, there was no need for her to fight with him. She just needed to leave him at the right time.
Lingchuan obediently followed Gu Shi back to the palace. Her hair was loose and she felt very uncomfortable in the palace.
She had no choice but to lower her head in the gaze of the palace maids. No one was a fool... They must know what was going on.
Gu Shi seemed to be really busy with official duties, leaving Lingchuan alone in Congcui Palace.
She curled up on the couch and yawned, and suddenly felt nauseous. She covered her mouth with a handkerchief and retched repeatedly. Suddenly, she remembered that her antiemetic medicine was still in the palace.
This palace is not like a prince's mansion. There are many people and eyes, and the palace maids are very sensitive to the symptoms of morning sickness in these women. Lingchuan feels that he will be exposed sooner or later.
A little girl bowed to her respectfully and presented her with a plate of lychees.
"Miss, these lychees were sent here expedited from eight hundred miles away. Your servant Xue'er specially requested them from the Ministry of Internal Affairs for you."
Seeing Xue'er's fawning look, Lingchuan felt embarrassed and kept tapping his thigh with his fingers in embarrassment.
I'm afraid she thought she would become the queen sooner or later, so she came here specifically to please her.
"I won't be in the palace for long and will leave soon. You don't have to worry about me."
"You can't just come and go as you please in the palace. Since you can stay here, you must have a place in the palace. Young lady, please feel at ease."
Lingchuan turned his face away and said coldly:
"As you please."
What did she take her for? The prince's concubine? She made it sound like she really wanted to live here.
She really couldn't stand the palace maid looking at her as if she were the future empress.
In order to avoid being noticed by the palace maids, she drove them all out of the bedroom and went to bed early.
The next day, Lingchuan woke up, washed up, and looked at the mirror coldly, thinking that today was her 20th birthday, and she would leave Gu Shi this year by any means necessary.
"Congratulations on the young lady's birthday."
Xue'er came in and bowed, smiling and saying:
"Look at that ivory carving. Do you like it? It's new."
"They are all the property of the palace anyway. I can't bring them with me when I'm born and I can't take them with me when I die. It's none of my business. I'm just taking a look at them for now. What's there to like or dislike about them?"
Xue'er was so choked by her that she didn't know what to say. She muttered to herself that this prince had really weird tastes.
Without saying a word, she got up and went to find Gu Shi.
An old palace maid stood in front of the hall. She stopped Lingchuan and said:
"The prince is busy with official business at the moment and will not see anyone. Please wait for a moment, young lady."
If she were in the prince's palace, she would have kicked the door open and rushed in, but now she was in the palace, and she didn't want to become famous in the palace, so she had to respond silently.
She sat in the pavilion for an hour before the old palace maid called her over.
The old palace maid had a layer of sweat on her forehead, with beads of sweat stuck in her forehead wrinkles.
The prince got angry with her just now, and she realized that Lingchuan was not on the list of people who "cannot be seen no matter who comes to look for him".
Gu Shi brought her a cup of cold tea from inside the house, handed it to her and asked:
"Why have you been waiting here so quietly for so long? I thought you were going to make a scene at the very least."
She drank the tea directly from his hand.
"I don't want to be famous in the palace."
Gu Shi couldn't help laughing.
"You are already famous in the palace."
"Today is my birthday, and I want to go out for a walk by myself."
After finishing her tea, she stuffed the teacup into his hand.
Hearing that Lingchuan was going out alone, Gu Shi felt uncomfortable again. He suddenly thought of Lingchuan's guilty look when he met Qin Sizhao yesterday, and the feeling of incongruity grew from the bottom of his heart like weeds.
"Heh, you want to go out alone so badly? Are you going to meet someone? Or are you secretly plotting how to get rid of me?"
As soon as the words fell, Gu Shi was shocked by his own thoughts. How could Ling Chuan be thinking about how to get rid of him in her heart? Without him, where can she go? Who else is willing to protect her and give her a luxurious life?
He immediately added:
"Oh, you speak as if it were true. It's impossible. Without my protection, you're nothing. You'll be kidnapped to a brothel in less than three days."
Lingchuan turned a deaf ear to his anxious sarcasm and yawned.
"Then I'm out."
He nodded indifferently.
"Go ahead, have fun on your own without me."
Looking at Lingchuan's back, Gu Shi spoke lightly:
"Jiang Jiuzhou, follow her and report to me where she went."
"yes."
Shadow guard Jiang Jiuzhou nodded respectfully.
Lingchuan got on a carriage and headed straight for the women's clinic. She only knew that she had to keep this matter a secret, but she had no idea that a shadow guard was following her.
She slipped sideways through a narrow door and entered a small room where the female doctor was sitting.
She stretched out her wrist, and after taking her pulse briefly, the female doctor spoke:
"Miss, your physical condition is pretty good, but you've been exerting too much energy recently. The fetus is showing signs of instability. You've been having too much sex."
She frowned and looked at Lingchuan with some blame, as if she had done something wrong.
The female doctor spoke bluntly, but Lingchuan's face showed no signs of embarrassment or shyness, and he spoke directly.
"To be honest, I'm a maidservant in a wealthy family. My master's wife doesn't allow me to get pregnant and have children, but I can't refuse her... so please be kind and help me beat the child."
The female doctor glanced at her sideways and pointed to the small door next to her.
"I can't help you with this. Go in and handle it yourself."
Lingchuan was nervous and walked in half-believing and half-doubting.
The air inside was stuffy, and the stench made her want to vomit. There was only a dirty little bed, which had obviously been cleaned, but the blood stains had seeped deep into the bed and could not be washed off.
There was a long, thick iron hook on the bed.
What does this mean...what does it mean to handle it yourself...
She thought of the cold look in the female doctor's eyes, and thought that she must be used to this kind of thing.
Lingchuan hesitated for a few times, then walked out of the hut and asked the female doctor:
"Doctor, what is this hook used for?"
The female doctor sneered:
"You've already had sex with men several times, why are you still pretending? That iron hook is naturally used to help you have an abortion."
“How is this an abortion?”
Lingchuan's face suddenly turned pale.
"You know how to seduce a man, but you don't know how to get rid of it? Naturally, you stick an iron hook into the uterus and hook the fetus out directly. All the women who come to us do this. However, you can't have sex for a month after the treatment. Please restrain yourself."
Lingchuan's lips and fingers were shaking.
“Okay… okay… I understand…”
She walked into the hut again with a gloomy face, rustled off her shorts, and sat down on the small bed covered with bloodstains, suppressing her nausea.
The cold wind blew into her skirt, and she had already aimed the iron hook at the area between her legs.
Her hand trembled and the iron hook deviated and hit the inside of her thigh. It was so cold that she couldn't help shivering.
