When Qingyu stretched out his hand to grab the medicine, the bowl of medicine in Yu Xiaoxiao's hand failed to splash out of the window, but all went onto Qingyu's face.
There was silence in the bridal chamber for a moment, then it was broken by Qingyu's scream.
Yu Xiaoxiao asked Nanny Wang in confusion, "Isn't this medicine hot?" It won't disfigure him, so why is he screaming so miserably?
Nanny Wang sneered at Qingyu who covered her face with her hands.
Yu Xiaoxiao pulled Qingyu's hand and said, "Okay, stop shouting. Let me see your face."
The medicine was warm and Qingyu's face was not hurt, but her makeup was completely ruined. The powder mixed with the dark brown medicine made even the most beautiful face look like a ghost.
"Your Highness, this is the medicine that the Third Young Master wants to drink," Qingyu cried to Yu Xiao, "Even if you are angry with me, you can't throw away the Third Young Master's medicine."
Nanny Wang was furious. She just thought that the Gu family was a good family, but she didn't expect that little devils would be everywhere!
Yu Xiaoxiao was even more confused and asked, "Why should I be angry with you? What did you do?"
Qingyu was choked by Yu Xiaoxiao's question. She wanted to climb into the Third Young Master's bed. How could she say this tactfully?
"Mammy," Yu Xiaoxiao pushed Qingyu towards Mammy Wang and said, "Take her out to wash her face."
Nanny Wang grabbed Qingyu's clothes and walked out of the bridal chamber.
Gu Xingnuo and Gu Xinglang did not speak a word. Qingyu was given to Gu Xinglang by the old lady. Although the two of them did not succeed in prison, Gu Xinglang could not abandon this maid and ignore her after he got out of prison and married the princess. The Gu family would not do such a thing. As for Qingyu, the Gu family knew that she would be taken into Gu Xinglang's room sooner or later, but how to tell Princess Linglong about it? No one in the Gu family knew what to say.
"You're not burned, right?" Yu Xiaoxiao sat down on the bed and asked Gu Xinglang.
Gu Xingnuo said, "Princess, please talk to Xinglang first. I will leave first."
"Okay, see you later, big brother," Yu Xiaoxiao nodded at Gu Xingnuo.
Young Master Gu turned around and ran away.
"Speak up, didn't the new house get burned down?" Yu Xiaoxiao didn't care about Brother Gu's escape and asked Gu Xinglang again.
"I'm not injured," Gu Xinglang watched his eldest brother leave, and then said to Yu Xiao: "Second brother took me out of the room."
"What about the two little ones?" Yu Xiaoxiao asked again.
"They are fine too," Gu Xinglang said, "Your Highness, the Qingyu just now was..."
"Qingyu?" Yu Xiaoxiao didn't wait for Gu Xinglang to finish his confession before she said, "That's a nice name. Is she your maid?"
"she is……"
"I'll treat your foot injury for you," Yu Xiaoxiao lifted the quilt covering Gu Xinglang, rolled up the trouser leg of the third young master Gu, and began to lean over to carefully examine the wound, while saying to Gu Xinglang: "The operation is a bit difficult, but it's not the first time I've done this kind of operation, you don't have to be afraid." During wars, the most common injuries are external injuries such as bone injuries. If Gu Xinglang suffered internal injuries, Yu Xiaoxiao couldn't guarantee that it would heal him. Her Royal Highness the Princess said that it was no big deal to just connect the tendons.
Gu Xinglang said: "Princess, you don't have to comfort me."
Yu Xiaoxiao looked up at Gu Xinglang and said, "I never comfort people."
Yu Xiaoxiao's words were so serious that Gu Xinglang was stunned for a long time before he said, "You, you can also treat?" He had heard that this person was beautiful and virtuous, and then he heard that this person was extremely brave, and now this person has become a miracle doctor? All the famous doctors in the capital have been invited by the family, and they all said that their legs were already disabled, so what could this person do?
Yu Xiao: "If you kill someone, you have to bury him."
Gu Xinglang was silent, what does this have to do with medical skills?
"don't know?"
Gu Xinglang shook his head.
"If you can kill someone, you must be able to save them," Yu Xiaoxiao went a step further to explain, "So the instructor, uh, that's my master, my master also taught me medicine, or medical skills?"
There were a few terms that Gu Xinglang still didn't understand, but he understood what was said. The hermit master not only taught the princess martial arts, but also taught her medical skills.
"I know you were wronged," Yu Xiaoxiao said to Gu Xinglang, "Let's heal your wounds first, and then we can take revenge and settle our grievances."
"Do you believe me?" Gu Xinglang asked.
Yu Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "If you are a bad person, I will not care about you."
Some strange emotions surged into Gu Xinglang's heart, some joy, some bitterness. Whether it was sadness or joy, Master Gu San couldn't tell for a moment. His little wife was sitting beside him with her back to the light, still wearing the bright red wedding dress. Her face was still expressionless, but her eyes were gentle, like the warm sun. Master Gu San sighed and looked at Yu: "Princess, thank you for believing in me."
"I seem to have seen you before," Yu Xiaoxiao looked at Gu Xinglang's face carefully and muttered to herself.
Gu Xinglang finally laughed and said, "I saw you in the imperial palace when your highness was three years old." It was during that time when she accompanied her mother to the palace to pay a visit to the empress dowager that the empress dowager took a liking to the seven-year-old boy from the Gu family at first sight and made the decision to arrange the marriage.
Yu Xiaoxiao said casually: "Three years old? What did I look like then?"
Gu Xinglang shook his head and said, "I didn't see what Her Royal Highness the Princess looked like." Princess Linglong was only a three-year-old child at that time, sleeping soundly in the Queen's arms. Her face was covered by her quilt, and Gu Xinglang really couldn't see what the three-year-old Princess looked like.
"Zhenguohou Mansion," Yu Xiaoxiao muttered to herself again, and then stared at Gu Xinglang's face for a few more times. She finally remembered who this person was. After the cruel empress proclaimed herself emperor, she ordered people to dig up several skeletons from the barren mountains in the eastern suburbs of the capital, and ordered monks to perform rituals for these skeletons and rebury them. One of the skeletons was placed in the imperial mausoleum prepared for her by the empress, in preparation for a classmate after death. That person was called Gu Qinghui. "Who is Gu Qinghui?" Yu Xiaoxiao asked Gu Xinglang.
Gu Xinglang frowned and said, "Qinghui is my pen name." Didn't anyone tell the princess about this before the marriage?
"So Gu Qinghui is also your name?" Yu Xiaoxiao asked.
"Yes," Gu Xinglang nodded.
Yu Xiaoxiao raised her hand and touched the top of Gu Xinglang's head. She remembered that when the skeleton was taken out of the barren mountain, a long nail was nailed into the top of the skull, meaning that the deceased would never be reborn.
"What's wrong?" Gu Xinglang asked Yu Xiaoxiao. He didn't think much about it and just thought that maybe his hair was messy because he had been lying down for a while.
"It's okay," Yu Xiao said, "It's great that you're alive."
Gu Xinglang hesitated for a moment, then placed his hand on the back of Yu Xiaoxiao's hand and whispered, "Thank you."
"Things will get better," Yu Xiaoxiao leaned over and kissed Gu Xinglang on the forehead, saying in a joyful tone, "Gu Xinglang, let me tell you, some things are destined."
The cruel empress and the third son of the Gu family could not live together, nor could they study together in death, but she came here and married him. In this way, the first regret of the cruel empress's life was fulfilled. Yu Xiaoxiao believed that her life in this world would get better and better, and she would never repeat the empress's life path.
