Fortunately, she came to see him tonight. Otherwise, would she not have known that Chen Zhizhou was so seriously injured?
After all, the old lady had said that from now on, no one was allowed to set foot in the ancestral hall, and no one was allowed to bring medicine to Chen Zhizhou or visit him...
"Does it hurt?" Gu Qing gently helped him take off his clothes. She dipped a little ointment on a handkerchief and wiped Chen Zhizhou's back carefully and gently.
Chen Zhizhou sighed from time to time and nodded in agreement, "Madam, please take a good look at this. It's so bloody, how can it not hurt? I'm just an ordinary person."
Liangran leaned against the treetop, watching the scenes happening in the ancestral hall from afar, and couldn't help feeling emotional.
If this were to get out, who would dare to believe that the dignified third young master of the Chen family had become so "delicate" at this moment? Back then, he... was covered in wounds, but he never cried out in pain. When the poisonous arrow was pulled out of his chest, he didn't even blink.
Gu Qing bit her lower lip tightly. While applying medicine to Chen Zhizhou, she murmured apologetically, "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have come up with this stupid idea. I wouldn't have caused you so much suffering. I'll go back and talk to my grandmother and tell her that I misunderstood you before..."
Suddenly, Chen Zhizhou's handsome face turned cold. He turned around with a heavy expression and raised his big hand to grab her wrist. "Qing'er, don't say such nonsense at this time. Just do whatever you want. What's the big deal about this little injury?"
"It's all my fault..." Gu Qing's eyes were filled with tears, and she didn't even dare to raise her head.
Think about it, in the previous life, the entire Chen family died innocently because of her, and Chen Zhizhou's death was horrific...
Her heart felt like it was about to be torn apart!
Gu family, Li Xiangsheng, she must take back everything that belongs to them from their hands bit by bit, and make them pay a price that is ten times or a hundred times more painful.
"Why are you still crying? The ancestors of the Chen family are watching us. If they don't know, they will definitely misunderstand whether I, Chen Zhizhou, have really done something stupid to betray Qing'er." Chen Zhizhou put his arm around her waist and held her in his arms.
He leaned over and sniffed her shoulder affectionately...
The tenderness between the two lasted only a moment, but it was enough.
They didn't say anything, but they understood each other.
"Qing'er, when the world is stable and life is peaceful, you will accompany me to go out and see the world, to travel and enjoy the mountains and rivers. We will find a paradise on earth. You like to eat peaches, so I will plant a large piece of peaches for you..." Chen Zhizhou's voice was magnetic, and he whispered in her ear.
For some unknown reason, at this moment, Gu Qing felt an ominous premonition in his heart.
"If something happens to my husband one day, I have already signed the divorce agreement with you today. You will not be implicated by then. It is our Qing'er who has thought it through."
Chen Zhizhou raised his head, his starry eyes fixed on her face without blinking.
Let him take a good look at this face again, and imprint it deeply in his mind...
Gu Qing nervously grasped his arm and blurted out subconsciously, "There are rumors outside that His Majesty has been ill and unwell lately. Is this true?"
Chen Zhizhou didn't say anything, so this is true!
Not only that, there are rumors outside that for some unknown reason, the emperor has become increasingly irritable and moody in recent days.
This is completely different from the previous life!
But the palace night banquet was not long ago, and it was normal to see the emperor that night. Could it be that there is some conspiracy behind this?
Gu Qing thought about how he had done a favor to the Fifth Prince by taking advantage of the disaster relief money. Li Xiangsheng smiled so brightly, he was so happy that he didn't know what to say...
If Li Xiangsheng was secretly plotting something...
What an emperor needs most is not the support of powerful officials, but the support and opinions of the people.
Gu Qing didn't dare to think about it too much.
"It's not peaceful here now. I'll feel at ease if you go back to your parents' home and stay for a few days. It's a good opportunity for me to take good care of myself." Chen Zhizhou said this ambiguously, but a fierce look flashed in his eyes.
"I..." Gu Qing wanted to say something, but it felt like something was stuck in his throat.
Suddenly!
Tears welled up in her amber eyes, and the golden beads could not stop falling. "Chen Zhizhou, I don't care. You just said that you would take me to travel and enjoy the mountains and rivers. If you break your promise, I will not let you go even if I become a ghost in my next life. You..."
"What nonsense are you talking about? I, Chen Zhizhou, swear in front of all the ancestors in the Chen family ancestral hall that as long as I live in this world, I will treat you well." Chen Zhizhou looked at her sincerely and spoke every word seriously.
His words, carried by the wind, dissipated in the ancestral hall.
There was a rustling sound of footsteps not far away. From a distance, it sounded like a woman's movement?
Gu Qing paused in wiping her tears, and looked suspiciously in the direction of the voice.
Chen Zhizhou nodded to her and said, "No matter what, you are the person I trust most in this world. No matter what you do, I will do my best to help you. We are a couple with one heart."
She understood his intentions.
No matter when or where, as long as the two of them trust each other wholeheartedly, that is enough.
Gu Qing clenched the handkerchief tightly in one hand. After she let out a long sigh, she walked out even though she felt reluctant.
She vaguely guessed that the person coming to the ancestral hall was most likely Pei'er.
only--
If a person has feelings, he or she will be bound by invisible shackles. Although she was curious and wanted to peek, she did not have the courage.
As long as she completely trusts Chen Zhizhou and knows that he will never do anything out of line behind her back, that is enough.
Gu Qing hurried back to the bedroom without stopping for a moment.
In the ancestral hall, Chen Zhizhou had already put away the food and medicine that Gu Qing had brought...
"Third Young Master."
A soft female voice came from behind him.
The night was quiet and lonely. Tonight, Pei'er had specially changed into a washed blue gauze skirt and a light green tulle shirt. She walked slowly towards Chen Zhizhou and said, "The young lady asked me to bring food to the third young master."
Pei'er didn't even blink when he told lies.
Chen Zhizhou played with the jade pendant on his body, glanced at Pei'er suspiciously, and said faintly, "Oh?"
Pei'er bit her lower lip tightly. After she realized that she had said something wrong, she was too nervous to speak again, fearing that if she said more, she would make more mistakes...
"She complained to Grandma and was clamoring for a divorce. What's she up to now?"
