Ending 3
In the process of working, Qin Yan quickly found out about their current situation.
This is the Palace of Prince Ping'an. The current prince is named Sima Ling, who is forty years old this year. Three months ago, the old lady caught a cold and has not recovered but has become increasingly serious. The imperial physician has come to see her but has not been able to cure her. So Sima Ling decided to go to Xiangguo Temple and fast for three days to accumulate blessings for the old lady. Qin Yan and his friends are now preparing their luggage for tomorrow's trip to Xiangguo Temple.
I started working at nightfall and didn't finish until midnight.
Qin Yan and Gu Qingqu are currently servants in the palace, so they do not have their own rooms. They live in one room, which is very simple, with only toiletries and two beds.
The lights were dim. Qin Yan walked over and looked at the dirty bedding on the bed with disgust. "Can you tell Miyue to let me be the prince?"
Gu Qingqu replied: "She said she couldn't do it."
“So soon?”
Gu Qingqu replied: "She knows everything that happened in the inverted moon."
Qin Yan added: "It's ok to change the bed and get a new quilt, right?"
Gu Qingqu conveyed Miyue's words, "She asked you to rob"
Qin Yan turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Gu Qingqu, "If you create chaos, you will be forced out."
"Didn't you tell me to rob?" There was an unpleasant damp smell in the room, it was extremely unpleasant. This was still a royal palace. The places he had lived in in the small mountain village were more decent than this.
Gu Qingqu advised him: "Since we are here, we should make the best of it."
Qin Yan stared at him for a while, and finally compromised, "Okay then."
Qin Yan was so sleepy that he fell asleep on the bed. He felt a soft quilt covering his body while he was half asleep. Qin Yan wanted to open his eyes to see who was so sensible, but he was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes at all.
The next day, when Qin Yan woke up, it was already bright. He was awakened suddenly. The housekeeper told them last night to gather before dawn, but when he sat up, he realized that he was sitting in the carriage and it was moving forward. He was the only one in the car, where did Gu Qingqu go?
Qin Yan lifted the car curtain and looked out. Before he saw Gu Qingqu, he shouted, "Stop the car!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the carriage stopped. The butler lifted the curtain and asked at the door, "My Lord, what do you want?"
Prince? Qin Yan looked down at his attire, a plain linen shirt, not his own. He said, "It's stuffy in the carriage, bring the horse over."
"yes"
The housekeeper went to get the horse, and Qin Yan took the opportunity to get off the car to find Gu Qingqu. Fortunately, there were not many people going to pray for blessings this time. Soon Qin Yan saw Gu Qingqu in the team. He was wearing the coarse linen clothes of a servant and was looking at him.
Qin Yan called him, "Come here"
At this time, the butler brought the horse over, "Your Majesty, the horse is here."
Qin Yan asked the housekeeper, "What's his name?"
Gu Qingqu came over and bowed as a greeting. The housekeeper replied, "Oh, his name is Gu Qingqu, and he is a surrogate son of the palace. Is there any problem?"
Qin Yan replied: "No problem, he looks familiar."
The housekeeper replied: "Yes, he looks exactly like his father."
Qin Yan thought he was talking nonsense. How could there be someone in this world who looked exactly like Gu Qingqu?
There were many people here, so Qin Yan didn't say much. He got on his horse and went straight to Xiangguo Temple.
After walking for half a day, they arrived at Xiangguo Temple, where they were received in person by the abbot. It was not until after lunch that Qin Yan found an opportunity to speak quietly to Gu Qingqu.
"How did I become a prince?"
Gu Qingqu replied: "Don't you want to be a prince?"
Qin Yan was surprised, "No one noticed the change of personnel?"
Gu Qingqu said: "In their eyes, you are now Sima Ling, and I am just an ordinary servant"
Qin Yan asked again: "What about Sima Ling?"
Gu Qingqu said: "Fainted"
This was really going to be a mess, Qin Yan quickly said: "I don't want to be a prince anymore, change it back"
"Alright"
The next moment Sima Ling appeared in front of them. Qin Yan was a little shocked when he saw his face. Isn’t this the crazy beggar? Oh, that’s not right. Sima Ling is already forty years old, and the crazy beggar is at most twenty years old. They are definitely not the same person. Could it be that the crazy beggar is the son of Sima Ling?
Sima Ling was a little confused about why he was suddenly here, but he didn't think much about it and went back to his room to take a nap.
After arriving at Xiangguo Temple, Qin Yan still lived with Gu Qingqu, but the conditions here were much better than those in the Xiangfu. At least there was no unpleasant smell and compacted quilts.
Qin Yan and Gu Qingqu didn't have the habit of taking naps, so they sat in the yard to bask in the sun. Qin Yan told Gu Qingqu about his previous guess, but Gu Qingqu just listened and didn't say anything.
Qin Yan soon felt sleepy under the sun. He originally wanted to ask Gu Qingqu for his opinion, but before he could ask, he fell asleep on the stone table.
It was already dark when Qin Yan woke up. He suddenly remembered that the housekeeper said that all of them would follow the prince to the Buddhist temple to kneel and recite scriptures in the afternoon. He sat up abruptly and found that he was sleeping on the bed in the room. Gu Qingqu was sitting by the window reading a book. The moonlight sprinkled on his shoulders, as if they were coated with a layer of silver frost.
Qin Yan got up and asked, "Didn't you kneel down to pray this afternoon?"
Gu Qingqu turned his head to look at him and replied: "Kneel down"
Qin Yan asked again: "Why didn't you call me?"
Gu Qingqu said: "I made two clay figures to go for us."
Qin Yan stopped working immediately, feeling relieved and happy. "That's great, we are free."
Seeing him laugh, Gu Qingqu also smiled slightly, which stunned Qin Yan, "Wow, you can laugh again." After saying that, he felt very stupid. Seeing Gu Qingqu's smile, he quickly said, "That's not what I meant. What I meant was that I have never seen you laugh. Oh, that's not it. Although I have seen you laugh, it's not that I have seen you laugh before."
The more he talked, the more confused he became. Qin Yan paused for a moment and spoke again, "What I mean is..."
Gu Qingqu replied calmly, "You mean I am gentle and natural in the human world, but cold and distant in the heavenly world?"
"Ah?" Although Qin Yan agreed with what he said, he felt it was a bit strange to hear Gu Qingqu say this himself. "Actually, I think you are still pretty good now, although a little cold and distant."
Gu Qingqu said: "Thank you for your compliment."
Qin Yan was so embarrassed that he could only laugh, "I didn't say anything."
Gu Qingqu stood up and said, "Miyue said there was something going on in the back mountain."
"Let's go and have a look"
Qin Yan breathed a sigh of relief. This situation came at the right time.
The two went to the back mountain together. The moonlight was bright tonight, and walking on the mountain path was quite enjoyable.
There is a cool pond at the back mountain, and beside the pond a handsome man is washing his feet. He is dressed coolly, wearing only a thin white shirt, which is wet by the water and sticks tightly to his body. The moonlight is reflected on him from the water, giving him an otherworldly beauty.
Qin Yan and Gu Qingqu hid behind a tree. After just one look, he turned his back and stood face to face with Gu Qingqu. Seeing that Gu Qingqu was still looking, he subconsciously wanted to cover his eyes. He stretched out his hand, but when he realized something was wrong, he quickly retracted it and whispered, "Gu Qingqu..."
Gu Qingqu retracted his gaze and looked at him. Qin Yan asked, "Why do you keep looking at him?"
Gu Qingqu replied: "Isn't it just for him that you came here?"
Qin Yan couldn't refute this, but... "He's dressed like that, it's not very ethical for us to spy on him here."
Gu Qingqu frowned slightly, seemingly disagreeing with what he said. Qin Yan secretly sighed in his heart that Gu Qingqu's moral bottom line was too low, "What's the difference between him wearing that clothes and not wearing it?"
Gu Qingqu replied: "Really? I think it's pretty good."
"He is pretty good, but what am I? A cicada pupa in an extremely cold land?" Qin Yan was so anxious that he almost cursed.
Gu Qingqu was even more surprised, "Aren't you all wearing the same clothes?"
Qin Yan was shocked. "In your eyes, have I been running naked?"
Gu Qingqu was puzzled, "What do you mean by streaking?"
Qin Yan pointed at the person next to the pool and asked, "If that's not streaking, what is that?"
Gu Qingqu looked in the direction of his hand, but quickly retracted his gaze after just one glance, "I'm talking about Sima Ling."
"Is he here?" Qin Yan stuck his head out and saw Sima Ling who was also standing by the cool pond.
“It’s definitely not streaking.”
Qin Yan was so embarrassed that he almost scratched the bark.
At this time, Sima Ling's voice rang out, "Who are you? How did you fall into the water here?"
The man replied, "My name is Xuezhu. I didn't fall into the water. Who are you? Why are you here in the middle of the night?"
Hearing the man's name, Qin Yan winked at Gu Qingqu, and Gu Qingqu nodded to indicate that he understood.
As Xuezhu was wearing too cool clothes, Sima Ling was afraid that he would catch a cold, so he offered to take him to change his clothes. Qin Yan was afraid that he would go blind if he looked at her too much, so he went back to the room with Gu Qingqu before them.
Qin Yan heaved a sigh of relief after returning to the room. He poured a glass of water for each of them and said the result of his observation, "That Xuezhu is not a human."
Gu Qingqu nodded and said, "It was the Tianshan Snow Lotus that sneaked down to the mortal world from Yaochi."
Qin Yan didn't see that much, "Do you know him?"
Gu Qingqu said: "I was born in the Milky Way, and all the knowledge in the world is in my brain"
"Oh," Qin Yan nodded in sudden realization, and then asked, "So do you know him?"
Gu Qingqu paused for a moment before shaking his head, "I don't know him."
"Oh," Qin Yan nodded again, "Fortunately I don't know him."
Gu Qingqu asked: "Why?"
Qin Yan also shook his head, "Nothing, nothing, it's too late, let's go to bed."
"Um"
Qin Yan quickly took off his clothes and got on the bed, about to fall asleep with his eyes closed. Suddenly, the bed moved. He opened his eyes and saw Gu Qingqu sitting on the edge of the bed, ready to sleep. Qin Yan was so scared that he almost rolled off the bed.
"This...this bed is occupied," Qin Yan quickly reminded.
"I know"
Gu Qingqu's voice was still as calm as usual, but Qin Yan was not calm, "Why don't you go sleep next to me?"
Gu Qingqu looked at him, and Qin Yan looked to the side, only to see that there was no bed next to him.
"Well...can't we sleep together?"
Qin Yan tried to awaken Gu Qingqu's reason, but the effect was not significant, because Gu Qingqu asked him: "Men should not touch each other?"
