Outside Mu's room, Chen Zhizhou paced with his hands behind his back.
Cui Ping glanced outside and handed the clean underwear to Gu Qing: "Madam, it seems that the young master has been waiting outside."
"What is he doing here?" Gu Qing asked curiously while changing clothes.
I've never seen him like this before, but now it makes me feel a little uncomfortable.
Cuiping thought for a while, then suddenly covered her mouth and laughed.
Gu Qing was a little confused and said deliberately: "Tell me quickly."
"Perhaps the young master is too worried about the lady, so he has been waiting outside. Even though the young master has a bad reputation outside and hangs out in red-light districts, the lady knows best what kind of person he is. Besides, he is a man and doesn't understand much about women's bodies." Cuiping is young, but she analyzes things very clearly.
Gu Qing glanced at Chen Zhizhou's hazy figure through the screen, and his heart suddenly felt much warmer.
Yes, in their previous life, they had no communication at all, except that he would occasionally show some kindness to her and want to be closer to her, but she would always reject him coldly.
In this life, out of guilt towards Chen Zhizhou, she maintained her identity as the wife of the third young master of the Chen family, considered Chen Zhizhou in everything, and never refused his requests.
But now the more I get along with him, the more I really like him in my heart.
I like his sincerity, integrity and love, as well as his careful care for me. Few men in the world can do that.
"You go down first." Gu Qing said softly.
"Yes, Madam." Cuiping left with the soiled clothes in her arms. Gu Qing turned and left the bathing room. Seeing Chen Zhizhou still standing at the door, she couldn't help but smile and asked, "Are you waiting for me?"
"I heard that women always feel uncomfortable and have lower abdominal pain during their menstrual period. Do you have these symptoms?" Chen Zhizhou looked worried. He leaned over, picked her up horizontally, strode into the house, and carefully placed her on the bed.
He then brought in a heater and put it in her hand: "Warm your stomach."
After saying that, he slowly lay down beside Gu Qing and gently massaged her lower abdomen.
Gu Qing was touched. She kept watching Chen Zhizhou busying around. She felt much more comfortable underneath her. She leaned into Chen Zhizhou's arms and said, "Thank you."
"You and I are husband and wife, so please don't talk about this anymore. I'm a warrior and I'm worried that I can't take good care of you." Chen Zhizhou's hands became lighter.
Gu Qing smiled and said, "How could that be? Although our dynasty values culture, the frontiers need brave soldiers like you to protect the country."
Her words stirred up waves in Chen Zhizhou's heart.
Chen Zhizhou pursed his lips and said, "Marrying you is truly my blessing. There is actually a woman in this world who understands me."
Gu Qing's smile grew wider, and she placed her palm on Chen Zhizhou's chest: "I know who you are, and I also know your ambitions."
"I, Gu Qing, will live for you in this life."
"For me?" Chen Zhizhou paused, then said, "Madam is not a canary kept in the inner courtyard. You don't have to live for anyone, not even for me."
He spoke seriously, but Gu Qing didn't want to explain, worried that Chen Zhizhou was too smart and would question him further.
She just responded and said nothing more.
Perhaps because she slept too much in the afternoon, Gu Qing did not fall asleep for a long time. Seeing that Chen Zhizhou was also not sleepy, she talked about Bai Shi coming to see her this afternoon.
Chen Zhizhou narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice, "This stupid woman has actually become a little smarter."
Gu Qing had the same idea as him and subconsciously asked, "What do you think, my husband?"
"The third branch is easier to deal with than the second branch. The Bai family has finally figured it out. It's good to see them fighting each other."
These words touched Gu Qing's heart. She curled her lips and smiled, "I think so too. Now that the Bai family has expressed their stance, I'm afraid the mansion will become more and more lively from now on."
Hearing this, Chen Zhizhou frowned slightly: "Madam, are you troubled? If so, I can help you get rid of them."
Gu Qing immediately said: "How could it be? I must seize this great opportunity."
"Outside is your world, and the inner courtyard is the women's battlefield. We have to take it slow and steady."
Chen Zhizhou pinched the little fox's cheek and said, "In that case, Xuanfeng will stay with you."
"Okay." Gu Qing was also a little excited and wanted to see what the Bai family would do.
While thinking, Chen Zhizhou also brought up the matter of Zheng Jun, "The Third Prince has already submitted a letter to His Majesty regarding Zheng Jun's matter."
"Oh?" Gu Qing raised an eyebrow, a little nervous: "What did His Majesty say?"
Chen Zhizhou's eyes revealed a deep meaning: "In today's world, His Majesty's mind is deep and difficult to fathom. He wants to curb the two princes' attempts to seize power to prevent one of them from being too outstanding and ostentatious. Naturally, he will not seize the Third Prince's post."
Gu Qing recalled that when His Majesty had handed the Huaishui City issue to the Fifth Prince, the Third Prince instantly became weak. After hearing about this, the Fifth Prince had more and more followers.
In the capital, countless officials tried to curry favor with Li Xiangsheng, and the Fifth Prince's mansion was crowded with people every day.
Gu Qing sneered: "The Fifth Prince really doesn't know how to avoid the limelight."
If Chen Zhizhou had not been framed and killed in his previous life, the third prince had lost an important assistant, and the old emperor had died suddenly, the throne would never have fallen into Li Xiangsheng's hands.
She raised her head and met Chen Zhizhou's gaze, saying firmly, "He will not become the emperor of the world. He is not worthy."
Chen Zhizhou saw determination in Gu Qing's eyes, and even some resentment and unwillingness, as if he had experienced something.
This feeling always made him feel that Gu Qing in front of him seemed a little unreal, as if he and she had been separated for a long time in the long river of time.
"The Third Prince's men will raid Zheng Jun's residence tonight." After Chen Zhizhou finished speaking, Gu Qing smiled and said, "There will be good news tomorrow morning."
......
The next day, when Gu Qing woke up, the person next to him was gone.
She felt a little disappointed. The next second, Chen Zhizhou pushed the door open and came in just as she sat up, his face looking a little cold.
Gu Qing's heart trembled, and he held his arm: "But what went wrong with Zheng Jun again?"
Chen Zhizhou calmed her down: "It's nothing serious. Mr. Zheng is dead."
This news is neither good nor bad.
Her original intention was to kill Zheng Jun, but it would also be good if she could use Zheng Jun to slightly attack the Fifth Prince.
"Where is the fifth prince?"
Chen Zhizhou picked up the person and carried him into the bathing room. He waited outside with his hands behind his back, his voice piercing through the swirling mist.
"Mr. Zheng left behind a written complaint, stating that he had embezzled money and framed the Chen family. He had nothing to do with the Fifth Prince. He regretted betraying the Fifth Prince and felt ashamed to live in this world."
In the bathing room, Gu Qing poured warm water over his body and pondered for a moment before saying, "It seems that the Fifth Prince is very quick to get news."
In the capital, Li Xiangsheng has more eyes than she imagined. Although this man has no big ambitions, after all, he has so many retainers and powerful backers that it is difficult to shake him.
Gu Qing came out of the Mu room, and Chen Zhizhou put her outer garment on again: "Be careful not to catch a cold."
"Does His Majesty know about this?"
Chen Zhizhou nodded: "Today, His Majesty will punish Zheng Jun and his entire clan with the punishment of his entire family."
