Chapter 16 Chapter 16 In this case, let me call my benefactor to listen...
Song Siyun waited for a while, but no one responded. Just as he was wondering, he suddenly saw the person in front of him fall forward with his body straight.
She was startled and hurriedly reached out her hands, trying to help but was hindered by something. Seeing that the man was about to fall to the ground, she made up her mind and grabbed the man's neck and pulled him up.
While pulling, he muttered: "Gu Yanzhou, you really should lose weight!"
He helped the person sit up straight, gasping for breath from exhaustion.
She immediately disregarded all etiquette and simply placed her hands on his shoulders, grumbling through gritted teeth, "I seriously suspect you were the one who broke the wood on the cliff edge."
After a long time without anyone answering, he couldn't help but push it.
A person this big would fall into the river with just a slight push. Song Siyun couldn't sit still any longer, so he stood up with a start and checked his breath.
When I felt the heat at my fingertips, I felt a huge sense of relief.
She hesitated again and touched his forehead, which was burning hot.
He actually fainted from the fever!
I just don't know if it's the cold that's entering my body or...
Song Siyun remained silent, slowly looking at his back where the skin and flesh were rolling, his brows furrowed tightly.
Fever can be serious or minor, and can be fatal if not treated promptly. But now, in the middle of nowhere, what can I do?
If she didn't have to support him, she would be wandering around at this moment.
Song Siyun knew no medical knowledge. When he was young, he followed his mother to the charity hall and saw his mother helping a doctor treat patients with fever by wiping them with cold water.
Right now, we can only grit our teeth and try our best.
Once you have an idea, you will no longer hesitate.
With one hand supporting the person, he reached into the river with the other. He soaked a handkerchief in water, wrung it out until it was half dry, and then gently patted the person's neck and armpits.
Over and over again, in a cycle.
At first, even when the handkerchief was used to hit the body, no water could be wiped out. Later, a few splashes of water began to fly, and then water droplets flowed down the neck to the armpits.
In the end, twisting it made no difference, as cold water trickled down through his fingers. Song Siyun's movements gradually slowed down, and the palm of his right hand, clutching the handkerchief, felt both hot and cold for some unknown reason.
The hand that was supporting Gu Yanzhou had long lost its strength, and now she was relying entirely on her left shoulder for support.
I don't know how long it took, but when the water turned red, the burning breath on my neck slowly cooled. I felt a sudden sense of relief, and then my whole body ached.
The handkerchief soaked in the water seemed to be relieved and slipped out of his hand and floated away with the current.
Song Siyun said "eh" from a distance, but he failed to catch it and had no choice but to let it go.
She thought she would be fine after the fever subsided, but not long after, the person behind her came over again and held her in his arms, unable to move.
If it weren't for the familiar smell at the tip of his nose, Song Siyun would have almost sent him to death with a hairpin.
After reacting, he struggled left and right and warned sternly: "Gu Yanzhou! Don't push your luck any further, let go!"
The hands around the waist tightened again.
Even through his clothes, you can feel the bulging muscles on his chest and the texture of his abdomen.
Song Siyun clenched her hands, she felt that she might be sick too.
Otherwise why would it be so hot?
He raised his hand to touch his forehead, but it was the same as usual. He was puzzled, but none of it could compare to the rage that was surging in his chest.
He suddenly stretched out his arms, hoping to catch the enemy off guard.
Unfortunately, the difference in strength between the two was too great.
He even pressed himself against her from behind, and kept burying his head in her neck.
The man's hairy mess made people want to run away, but this bastard was incredibly strong.
Song Siyun was so angry that he was shaking. Just when he was about to throw him into the river to sober up, he suddenly heard a low murmur in his ear: "Brother, I'm scared."
The rage in my heart stagnated. My heart felt like it was blocked and I felt very depressed.
She thought again of the first time she met Gu Yanzhou. He was wearing a robe that was not even as long as his wrists, and his body was covered in mud. He was holding Gu Yansheng, whose leg was dangling in the air, and he was following behind her sister, looking like a beggar.
He is clearly one year older than his elder sister, yet he is half a head shorter than her. Even so, his eyes are surprisingly deep.
She didn't understand at the time, she just felt that the look in her eyes made her back cold, so she scolded him and told him to get out.
It was not until today that she realized that this was not a little beggar, but a wolf.
A lone wolf waiting for an opportunity.
After that day, Gu Yanzhou entered the palace and became the prince's companion. The families who had deceived him were either demoted or sent out of the capital.
Later, his career was very successful and His Majesty the Crown Prince valued him very much; later, he won a great victory in the northern border and was appointed as the Minister of Justice and granted the privilege of purple robe and flying fish.
At that time, he was only twenty-one years old.
His life had been so smooth that Song Siyun even forgot that he lost his parents at a young age, and being beaten and starved was a common occurrence for him.
At that time, the only person supporting the Gu family was Gu Yansheng, who was only thirteen years old and waiting to take the palace examination to enter the officialdom.
But fate played a trick on him and he broke his left leg, leaving him disabled for life.
I will not be able to enter the officialdom in this life.
That day, my father locked himself in the study and did not come out for the whole day, sighing that God was jealous of his talent.
The next day, he entered the palace wearing his official hat and threatened to resign.
In the evening, he returned wearing his official hat. Later, Gu Yanzhou entered the palace. The Gu residence gradually became prosperous.
Song Siyun didn't know what his father had done, but he only knew that from then on, whenever he saw Gu Yanzhou again, he always had a gloomy face with a variety of colors on his face.
Every time, he would hide behind her, as if someone had bullied him. Occasionally, when she looked back, he would hide everywhere.
At the time, I thought he was a bad guy, but knowing that my sister was kind, he pretended to be wronged. But now that I think about it, maybe he was just ashamed to let others see his bruised face.
I thought he was just being petty, but now I realize that he has always been stubborn.
How could a boy who has to support the door lintel at the age of eight easily show weakness?
A heavy sigh escaped from his throat. Song Siyun raised his hand, gently supporting the man's thin, sharp face, and soothed him gently, "It's okay. Gu Yanzhou, don't be afraid."
"I am here."
Patting the man's shoulder, she softly repeated, "Don't be afraid." Gradually, the breath in her ear became long and deep.
Song Siyun knew that he was asleep. She smiled, leaned her head against his, and squinted her eyes.
When the first ray of sunlight shone from the sky, Gu Yanzhou opened his eyes.
There was no sun at the bottom of the cliff, but now that light was visible, it was already noon outside.
It was daylight now and the wild animals in the forest were resting, making it a good time to explore the way.
After thinking for a while, he was about to get up.
Just as she stood up, she was slapped down by someone softly. The girl twitched her lips, a little impatient: "Don't move, she's sleeping soundly."
It was at this moment that he realized the posture the two of them were in, not to mention that his upper body was not even naked!
He suddenly stood up as if by reflex, and the person who was sleeping soundly against him suddenly fell down and woke up with a start.
Song Siyun rubbed his eyes, not even awake yet. He was about to scold him, but when he saw him so energetic, he was delighted and quickly raised his head to ask, "Are you okay?"
Gu Yanzhou was puzzled and frowned and asked, "Is there something wrong?"
"You don't remember?!" Song Siyun sat up with a gurgling sound, heartbroken: "You really are a bastard. You don't even remember your savior."
"You know you had a sudden high fever last night and fainted from the fever. Thanks to my kindness and intelligence, I put aside my past grudges and painstakingly wiped your skin for half the night, saving your life!"
Song Siyun said as he poked him forward.
Finally, she placed her right hand, covered in redness and wounds, before his eyes and said, "Look! This is all evidence! Don't even think about denying it!"
"Then..." Gu Yanzhou stepped back and spoke from behind her palm, "Thank you, Madam, for saving my life?"
"Do you admit it?" Song Siyun suddenly moved closer and looked at him through his fingers. Seeing him nod, he withdrew his hand, crossed his arms leisurely, and looked at him with a smile: "In that case, call me benefactor."
After waiting for a long time without receiving any response, she became impatient and was about to urge someone to come when she suddenly heard someone calling her, "Ah Yun!"
She turned around and saw Song Sishu in a goose yellow riding suit.
"Sister! I'm here!" She waved and responded happily, and the next moment, she was embraced by the person who came.
"I'm so glad you're okay."
Song Sishu hugged her, feeling a little scared.
Tian Zhizhi saw the Yun family's maid fall out yesterday in a state of disfigurement, and she almost fainted from fright. After learning the whole story, she hurriedly begged the Queen to allow her to go and look for her. The Queen had no say in the matter, and the matter was not allowed until the return of His Majesty.
She followed the guards all the way to the edge of the cliff and saw the dark mud stained with blood. Fortunately, Peilan helped her up and she did not lose her composure.
But when she saw the bottomless black cliff, she lost her composure. She could no longer hold back the fear she had been holding in all the way, and she fell to the ground and started crying.
Until now, she has persisted only with the thought of seeing the corpse before her death.
Now, seeing her standing in front of him alive, and calling her "sister" in a crisp voice, the tears that he had held back with great difficulty once again blurred his eyes.
He pulled her around carefully, and seeing that she was really fine, he wiped his tears and complained: "You girl, you have been reckless since you were a child, and this time..."
She paused, swallowed her ominous words, and only poked her between the eyebrows and complained: "Do you know how worried my parents and I are? Mom even fainted from crying and hasn't woken up yet."
"Have you asked the imperial physician to see it?" she asked repeatedly.
Seeing this, Song Sishu glared at her and said, "Are you anxious now? Why don't you think more about your parents when doing things? If something really happens to you, will you let us live?"
Finally, unable to bear her pitiful look, he softened his tone, "Don't worry, Mom is fine. She's just worried too much. The imperial physician has prescribed a prescription, and Dad is taking care of her. But you—"
As he was speaking, a piercing scream suddenly came from behind him, startling all the birds in the forest.
The words that were about to come out of their mouths were interrupted. The two sisters looked over and saw Yun Wanqiao in a light blue uniform.
At this moment, she was covering her face, running and shouting, "Where did this lecher come from!"
Song Siyun and Song Sishu looked at each other, then turned to look at Gu Yanzhou, who was shirtless behind them.
He was obviously a little embarrassed as well. The moment his eyes met, he let out a frightening laugh, looking rather helpless.
Before she could even laugh out loud, she heard a gentle voice teasing with a smirk, "Who is so bold as to act like a hooligan in front of our Madam Gu? It turns out to be you, Yan Zhou."
As he said this, he took off his cloak and put it on him.
Gu Yanzhou quickly gathered himself together, not revealing a single trace of his presence. Then he looked at Yun Wanqiao, who was following closely behind him, with a questioning look.
Mu Jingheng understood and quickly explained with a smile, "Miss Yun was just frightened by the lecher and happened to run into me."
Several people nodded to show that they understood, but Yun Wanqiao was the only one with a face full of gratitude.
After they left the forest and returned to the tent, Song Siyun took the opportunity to grab her and asked wickedly, "Is what the prince said just now true?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the man's shoulders slumped, and he slumped against the wall of the carriage. He said weakly, "Don't say it anymore. I would have knocked him into a tree. Fortunately, Your Highness was kind and didn't blame me. Otherwise, he would have been buried in the ancestral hall for three days."
"Who told you to be so strong from hammering and cooking?"
Song Siyun covered his mouth and laughed. Song Sixu beside him couldn't help but curl his lips. Only Yun Wanqiao clenched his fist and pretended to hit her, "You don't eat it on weekdays, right? Besides! I won't give you roasted deer legs tonight!"
Hearing this, Song Siyun hurriedly grabbed her wrist and exclaimed, "Did you catch it?"
The man lowered his fist and said proudly, "I didn't have it, but His Majesty did. He said he would leave it for you yesterday."
Upon hearing this, Song Siyun immediately turned to look at Song Sishu, pouting and looking resentful: "Sister, didn't you say that His Majesty didn't have it?"
"Ah? Ah──" Song Sishu, who was being stared at by her, smiled awkwardly and changed the subject: "Daddy is still waiting for my reply, I'm leaving first."
"Sister—!"
Behind her, Song Siyun frowned, his mouth so puffy that a lantern could be hung on it.
Not far away, Gu Yanzhou, who was about to apply medicine, turned his head and saw it, and couldn't help but curl his lips.
Mu Jingheng, who was standing beside him, saw it and let out a light "eh". He wanted to join in the fun, but he had to be glared at by him before he behaved himself.
There weren't many people around. Gu Yanzhou frowned and got down to business: "Did you capture the assassin alive?"
Mu Jingheng frowned as he tightened his brows and said truthfully, "I did have it originally, but I was in a hurry yesterday and temporarily locked it in the tent. I just found out that -"
As he was speaking, he suddenly saw the person next to him raise his hand to stop and signal with his eyes that someone was coming.
Mu Jingheng raised his eyes, and when he saw the person coming, his pupils suddenly constricted and his eyes became complicated.
After a while, he leaned over to his ear and whispered, "They're all dead."
"One sword cuts the throat."
