Chapter 8 Is the wine delicious?
After a long time, Shen Zhao finally stopped and knelt on the ground, pounding the ground weakly with his hands.
The rain soaked him.
I don't know when an umbrella appeared above my head.
Chen Zhao turned around in a daze and saw the Prime Minister who was like a towering mountain to him.
"If literature fails, martial arts will do."
"Chen Zhao, do you want your elder sister to protect you for the rest of your life?"
An almost cold voice sounded, and Gu Huailing lowered his eyes to look at Shen Zhao, without a trace of warmth in his eyes.
"Only by passing the imperial examination can I protect my sister. I really study hard every day, but I really can't remember."
Shen Zhao's voice choked.
"If the road is blocked, try another one. There are barbarians invading from the northwest, and we need men right now. Do you dare to go?"
Chen Zhao suddenly fell silent. He looked at Gu Huailing's stern profile.
His heart was beating fast. He was not interested in literature but in martial arts. The battlefield was a place he wanted to go in his dreams.
The sound of rain colliding.
The boy's firm voice rang out, "I dare."
Gu Huailing nodded and left with an umbrella.
Chen Zhao watched Gu Huailing leave, and finally mustered up the courage to ask loudly, "Why did the Prime Minister help me?"
Gu Huailing did not answer and stepped onto the carriage.
When the carriage passed by Shen Zhao, the curtain was lifted.
Gu Yao smiled and threw an umbrella to Chen Zhao, "Brother Chen Zhao, catch the umbrella."
Through the rain curtain, the girl's bright smile is like a ray of light.
Shen Zhao clenched the umbrella in his hand and watched the carriage leave.
As soon as Gu Huailing arrived at the palace gate, guards came rushing over, "Sir Prime Minister, the Emperor has an urgent decree."
The next day.
Gu Jingchu came out of the ancestral hall with a dark face.
Qingmu took the cloak and quickly put it on Gu Jingchu.
"How's things going in the prison? Did Zhao Wenyuan let Yuan'er out?"
Aoki hesitated to speak.
Gu Jingchu glanced at him and said, "Just say it if you have something to say."
"Sir, you should go and see for yourself. It is said that Young Master Zhao was thrown into the death row and tortured beyond recognition."
"Early in the morning, Mr. Zhao went to the death row to pick up his grandson. He almost fainted when he saw his grandson like that."
Gu Jingchu's expression changed. "What about Yuan'er?"
Qing Mu shook his head, "Our people haven't seen Miss Shen, she should still be in prison. Prince, please slow down."
Before Qingmu could finish his words, Gu Jingchu disappeared.
There was no trace of Shen Yuan in the prison.
Outside the death row, Gu Jingchu looked at the mess and blood in the room, and leaned against the wall to retch.
He realized belatedly that Gu Huailing's appearance yesterday was not a coincidence.
The woman he saw in the carriage in a trance was not an illusion.
That was Yuan'er, Gu Huailing came to save her.
Gu Jingchu ran towards the bluestone lane like a madman.
The door in front was closed. Gu Jingchu raised his chin and motioned Qingmu to knock on the door.
“Miss Shen, open the door. My prince has come to visit you specially.”
Aoki knocked on the door loudly, but no one responded from inside.
Gu Jingchu looked at the closed door and didn't take it seriously.
"Perhaps the person is still asleep. Keep knocking. Yuan'er would be delighted if she knew that this prince came to see her."
Aoki glanced at his red palms?
Are you sure you didn't hear it?
Or did Miss Shen deliberately not open the door?
Aoki didn't dare to say this in his heart.
I could only knock on the door harder.
"Clap, clap, clap, I'm going to die so early in the morning." Gu Yao walked over from behind with her arms folded.
"Third sister, why are you here? Yuan'er hasn't gotten up yet. I have something to talk to her about today. You should go back."
Gu Jingchu was unhappy when he saw Gu Yao.
"Stop, don't call me Third Sister. I'm afraid stupidity is contagious."
Gu Yao rolled her eyes at Gu Jingchu, stepped forward, pushed Qingmu aside, and knocked on the door.
“Sister Shen, I’m Yao’er.”
After knocking twice, the door was opened.
Shen Yuan walked out and looked at Gu Yao with a faint smile, "Sister Yao'er is here, please come in."
From beginning to end, Chen Yuan didn't even give Gu Jingchu a glance.
Qingmu looked at Gu Jingchu with sympathy.
Shut up and step back, not daring to speak.
"Yuan'er! You are deliberately ignoring me so that I know you are still angry, right?" Gu Jingchu suppressed anger in his voice and took a step forward.
However, just as he took a step, Taozi stood in front of him, holding her waist.
"My daughter said that not everyone can see her, and not everyone can come in."
After saying that, he slammed the door shut with a deafening "bang!"
Gu Jingchu's face darkened and he clenched his fists in anger.
Qingmu glanced at his master cautiously and said softly: "Maybe Miss Shen is still angry, so the prince might as well go back first."
Seeing that Gu Jingchu was indifferent, Qingmu said again:
"You see, Miss Shen just came out of jail, and she must be angry. The prince went back to prepare some gifts for Miss Shen to calm her down. Once Miss Shen calms down, she will definitely be willing to pay attention to the prince."
Gu Jingchu sneered, "Does she still need this prince to please her? In the past, this prince would just wave his hand, and she, Shen Yuan, would come running over eagerly."
Gu Jingchu stared at the tightly closed door, his expression extremely bad. "You don't want to see me, right? This prince will make her regret it!"
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and turned away angrily.
Aoki sighed and thought to himself, Prince, if you continue like this, who knows who will regret it.
But he didn't dare to say it, so he could only quickly catch up with his own prince.
“Sister Shen, you already don’t like that idiot Gu Jingchu, right?”
Inside the house, Gu Yao held her chin and looked at Chen Yuan with anticipation.
Shen Yuan nodded, picked up a cup of tea and took a sip.
Then Gu Yao asked again, "What about my elder brother? Do you like my elder brother?"
Shen Yuan almost spit out a mouthful of water.
Gu Yao counted on her fingers and said, "Although my eldest brother is a bit cold, he is in a high position and has great power. If you marry my eldest brother, you will be the wife of the Prime Minister or Gu Jingchu's sister-in-law. He will have to kneel down and greet you when he sees you in the future."
“Also, my eldest brother doesn’t like women, so the backyard must be clean. I also like Sister Shen, so we will definitely get along harmoniously in the future.”
"Besides," Gu Yao suddenly came over with a sly look.
“Don’t look at my eldest brother as a civil official, in fact, he can also do martial arts, and in the future, Sister Shen will also be able to enjoy sex.”
Shen Yuan's face flushed red, and she picked up a piece of cake and stuffed it into Gu Yao's mouth, "Shut up."
He really dares to say anything.
Gu Yao choked and swallowed the cake with her neck stiff. "What's so delicious about cakes? I'll take my sister to calm her down tonight."
The room was filled with the fragrance of cosmetics and the sound of stringed instruments and bamboo pipes continued.
Gu Yao held the wine glass in her hand and looked at Chen Yuan with blinking eyes.
Pointing to the row of young men in front of him, he asked, "Are you satisfied, Sister Shen? Are these young men good-looking?"
Chen Yuan drank several cups under Gu Yao's constant persuasion, and his head was dizzy.
A young waiter beside him came forward with great tact and poured a glass of wine for Shen Yuan. He looked at Shen Yuan with a frivolous look and said, "My lord, are you satisfied with my service?"
Then another waiter came over from the side.
He should be the top star here. He has a pretty good-looking face, but he looks too much like makeup.
He poured a glass of wine, bit it in his mouth and handed it to Shen Yuan, looking at Shen Yuan with seductive eyes, "Why doesn't this noble man drink? Are you drunk? Do you want me to help you to rest?"
The young waiter's eyes were fixed on Shen Yuan's face.
Such a beautiful woman, even if he had to pay her money, he would still be willing to spend the night with her.
The thick smell of powder made Shen Yuan feel dizzy. She was just about to wave her hand to let the waiter go.
Then I heard a cold and heavy voice behind me.
"Is the wine good?"
