Chapter 381 You look a lot like my older sister who died many years ago

Gu Qingquan didn't say anything, and Si Linglong didn't urge her. After Shuhong brought clothes for her to change into, Gu Qingquan washed off all the makeup on her face, and only then did she reluctantly restore her usual cool look.

Si Linglong asked Shu Hong to wait outside, and then she moved to the side of Gu Qingquan, pretending to know nothing, and asked her,

"Sister Quan, why are you dressed like this? Don't worry, even if you don't tell me, I won't tell anyone about it."

Gu Qingquan had just picked up the teacup on the table. When she heard the call "Sister Quan", she paused and looked at Si Linglong with a strange look in her eyes.

Wasn’t she still “Sister Quan Fei” just now?

However, Gu Qingquan could indeed see that the emperor's new favorite did have some special feelings towards him.

Others had to pay for the ointment from her, but she gave it to them for free.

There were so many concubines out on this winter hunt, and she preferred to have them around her.

Even when the carriage broke down, people would crowd in towards her.

Even when she was obviously behaving strangely, I immediately covered it up for her...

The sisters in the harem always call each other affectionately, but no one knows what they do behind the scenes, and she has never believed in it.

But when Si Linglong called her sister, she felt that she really treated her as a sister.

If Gu Qingquan had not known that she was the only daughter in the family, she would probably have really thought that she had a younger sister.

Still a bit clingy.

"Thank you for today, but please keep today's events confidential."

Si Linglong nodded vigorously, she would definitely keep it a secret.

Gu Qingquan raised his arms again, "And this dress, I'll have someone wash it and return it to you later."

"Uh-huh."

【Continue, then what? 】

Si Linglong looked at her encouragingly.

Gu Qingquan only felt that her eyes were inexplicably eager. After a long silence, he stood up and said, "I'll go back first."

The eagerness on Si Linglong's face faded instantly when she heard this, and she suddenly hugged her arms with both hands.

"Are you leaving now?"

[You have to tell me about Wu Lie, so that I can help you.]

Gu Qingquan was puzzled, "What else?"

After thanking her and making sure she didn't tell anyone, he washed the clothes and returned them to her another day. Gu Qingquan was sure that he had not made any mistakes.

Si Linglong was almost helpless when she saw her sister Quan, who was so cold and upright.

Gu Qingquan's attitude showed that he had no intention of asking her for help.

[A Yue really doesn’t understand me, Sister Quan. In the end, I still have to take the initiative.]

"Sister Quan, I don't want to pry into your private affairs, but what you did is actually quite dangerous. You see, we just encountered an assassin, and the guards around us are very alert. If you are dressed like that, if you are discovered, it will cause chaos."

Gu Qingquan just looked at her, his expression unchanged, and said, "I won't dress like that again, don't worry."

She will never use an idea that failed a second time.

"But you must be in trouble, and this matter may cause you trouble."

Si Linglong tried to guide her, but seeing that Gu Qingquan was completely unmoved and even gave her a look that said "this palace is never afraid of trouble", she suddenly felt that this task was a bit difficult.

Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she added righteously, "You may not be afraid of causing trouble, but you are the emperor's concubine. If something happens to you, it means something happens to the emperor. No matter what your original intention is, the emperor's reputation will be damaged!"

The so-called negotiation requires you to learn how to grasp the other party's weak spot.

Sure enough, when talking about Helian Yue, Gu Qingquan's face suddenly darkened, and it was obvious that she had figured it out.

She could act recklessly, but since it involved the emperor's reputation, she had to be considerate.

Seeing that she had taken the bait, Si Linglong immediately continued, "As the saying goes, one person's plan is weak, two people's plan is strong. Two people are always better than you alone. For example, in a situation like the one just now, I'm by your side to cover you, at least it won't arouse suspicion, isn't it good?"

Seeing that Gu Qingquan still didn't give in, Si Linglong once again used her ultimate move, "It's not just me, there are people behind me, if that doesn't work, I have another one!"

Lie Yi was the secret guard assigned to her by Helian Yue, but he was not in charge of the affairs of the secret guard camp and had to obey her instructions.

Gu Qingquan was obviously a little loose in this regard.

But the matter was serious, so she would not give in easily. She just asked her, "Why are you so determined to help me?"

She believed that when she was in the palace, she was not treated any differently from other concubines. Even if her father had given her instructions later, she was just secretly caring for her a little more.

Judging from her attitude towards other concubines, Gu Qingquan did not think that she was a simply enthusiastic and naive person.

Especially in the palace, excessive kindness will only arouse suspicion.

Although Si Linglong was prepared, she still remained silent when she was asked this question out of the blue.

[I can't say that you and Wu Lie are the regrets in my heart now? ]

[I can't make peace with the main story, but I can always make peace with the side story, right? ]

Si Linglong was muttering to herself, but seeing that Gu Qingquan was clearly saying that she would not talk to him unless he explained clearly, she gritted her teeth and looked at him with a worried look in her eyes and spoke in a low voice,

"Because you make me feel like my older sister who died many years ago..."

Gu Qingquan: ???
