Chapter 237 Love is insignificant
"Master Gu is so generous that he will not take my unintentional mistake seriously."
"Why don't I pay for the doctor to stop the bleeding and bandage the wound for the prince?"
Gu Huai was sweating coldly from the pain, his fingers were trembling as he stretched out his fingers, but he couldn't utter a complete sentence.
"Walk!"
Gu Huai endured the pain and raised his voice to give the order.
Before dawn, he must catch up with the supporting team returning to Beijing.
The wheels rolled and the carriage moved slowly forward.
This road is not very smooth after all.
Every click was a great torture for Yu Guhuai.
The corner of Lu Mingchao's mouth twitched.
Gu Huai's family background was too important, so she controlled the force of the knife very well. It would hurt but not break.
If Gu Huai's toes were really chopped off, Lady Gu Shen, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, would turn into a mad dog and chase after her and bite her.
She couldn't guarantee that if she continued to rub again and again, Gu Huai would become disabled.
"Prince Gu, why don't you let your sneaky guard pull out the kitchen knife and simply stop the bleeding?"
"Are you concerned about me?" Gu Huai was sweating profusely and his face turned pale.
Lu Mingchao's expression was as if he had swallowed a fly and was indescribable.
"It's mainly the smell of blood that makes me sick."
Lu Mingchao patted the wall of the carriage and shouted, "That big fool who can't even put out the smoke properly, your prince is dying."
There was a muffled sound, and the carriage fell forward.
There seemed to be a figure kneeling outside the curtain. "Prince."
"Come in." Gu Huai was in unbearable pain.
Guards on duty will carry golden sore medicine with them.
Lu Mingchao moved a little further away, leaned on the cushion, covered his nose, closed his eyes and dozed off.
She was too close and was afraid that blood would splash all over her when she drew her knife.
Suddenly, she felt her sleeve tightened, and a warm palm tightly grasped her wrist through the thin clothes.
Lu Mingchao opened his eyes wearily and said mercilessly, "Let go."
Man in black: Cruel!
The man in black silently put a label on Lu Mingchao.
Gu Huaijin stared at Lu Mingchao with extremely stubborn eyes.
She bit her lower lip tightly, and drops of blood rolled down, blending with the sweat, adding a touch of vivid beauty.
Seeing the knife drawn, Lu Mingchao shook off Gu Huai's arm.
The carriage was filled with the smell of blood, and the smell was not very good.
Lu Mingchao was groaning continuously and had no choice but to open the car window and stick his head out.
"It's not safe." Gu Huai's voice was hoarse.
Lu Mingchao rolled his eyes at Gu Huai without saying anything.
Gu Huai trembled as he took out a white porcelain bottle from his purse and handed it over. "Green Jade Cream."
"It drives away the odor and refreshes the mind."
Lu Mingchao glanced at Gu Huai suspiciously.
Green Jade Cream, specially made by Wu Xing Shen, has the greatest effect of soothing the body after taking aphrodisiacs.
The effect of removing the smell is false, but the effect of reducing heat is real.
Good stuff!
After a little thought, Lu Mingchao took the green jade ointment and threw over a bottle of hemostatic powder.
Gu Huai stroked the medicine bottle, his eyes flashing.
His Ah Chao is tough on the outside but soft on the inside, and he still cares about him a lot.
Lu Mingchao: Bullshit!
It's clearly brothers settling accounts!
The man in black treated Gu Huai's wounds and then respectfully got off the carriage.
The bright moonlight poured in through the car window, making Gu Huai's pale face seem transparent.
"A Chao, you chose to go with me."
"I can't regret it."
Lu Mingchao found it difficult to describe his feelings.
"If you can't speak, you can shut up."
"It's late at night, aren't you afraid that the fire will burn down Sheung Hei Village?"
The noble and wealthy prince's behavior reveals the arrogance and indifference deep in his bones, which reflects the strict hierarchy of those below him.
In the eyes of those in power, ordinary people are not even as important as a piece of brocade or a piece of jewelry.
Gu Huai said softly, "A Chao, you forced me to do this."
In an instant, Lu Mingchao's expression became frighteningly cold.
What's with the domineering boss forcing her to love him and making it impossible for her to escape from him even if she had wings.
"A Chao, Xie Yan gave up on you."
"Between the people of Changxi Village and you, Xie Yan chose the people of Changxi Village."
Lu Mingchao lowered his eyebrows and said, "Prince Gu, love and selfishness are never more important than human life."
"Prince Gu stands too high up, unable to see the hardships of the people who are struggling on the edge of survival like ants."
"Your fire burned down their shabby house that sheltered them from the wind and rain, and burned their life savings."
"If no one helps them, they can only bear the injuries they suffered in the fire, watch the wounds rot and then cut off, and use some unfounded folk remedies to let themselves die."
"The old man, who had lost all hope, chose to die in order to relieve the pressure on his children."
"The fire in your eyes is fueled by the flesh and blood of ants."
"An ant's life is also a life."
"Prince Gu may not know that many families in Changxi Village migrated here to escape the famine. When there were tree barks and weeds, they ate them; when the sky was dry and the earth was cracked and no grass grew, they forced themselves to eat Guanyin soil to fill their stomachs."
"Can you imagine, Prince Gu, a skinny person eating dirt and mud, with swollen hands and feet and a bulging belly?"
"They survived the famine, settled in Changxi Village, and started over."
"It changed from a thatched hut to a mud house, and was burned down by your fire."
Gu Huai suddenly felt his throat tighten.
It seemed as if he had really swallowed the turf Guanyin soil.
"A Chao, if you had followed me back to Beijing obediently from the beginning, I would not have resorted to such a desperate measure."
Lu Mingchao did not raise his eyes, but just sneered, "Look, you are still deceiving yourself."
"I don't think Ah Yan was wrong to choose the people of Changxi Village."
"My feelings for him should not override the lives of innocent people."
“No matter how gorgeously a flower irrigated with the blood of innocent people blooms, it deserves neither praise nor complacency.”
“He did the right thing.”
"Otherwise, tonight will be the end of the world for the people of Changxi Village."
"I am honored to be here."
She really liked someone who was already a very good person.
When mentioning Xie Yanzhi, Gu Huai observed that Lu Mingchao's eyes changed from indifference to an indescribable tenderness.
This change made Gu Huai's heart feel as if it was repeatedly pierced by countless tiny needles, and it was as if he was stirred by a sour emotion, making it difficult to calm down.
"But he should have left someone to protect you instead of taking you away."
Gu Huai did not give up.
Lu Mingchao asked back, "Then, did you just kill him?"
"Gu Huai, you and I are not on the same page, so there is no point in talking if we don't agree."
It's difficult to find like-minded people.
"Achao, why can't we be like before?" Gu Huai felt inexplicably guilty and changed the subject stiffly.
Lu Mingchao sighed quietly, "A mayfly lives for a day, born in the morning and dead in the evening."
"No matter how unforgettable and regretful you may think the past is, to me it is just a dead mayfly, ashes on the corner of my clothes, and rotten meat."
"I would love to bury it, brush it off, and gouge it out."
"Gu Huai, believe it or not, Lu Mingchao, who was so happy to see you, died on the day when everyone forced her to dislike and abandon her."
"Let's not talk about love anymore between you and me."
"I am going back to Beijing with you, not because I am soft-hearted or because I cannot forget our old love, but because I do not want to implicate an innocent person."
"You hurt your foot and the pain is unbearable."
"What about the people in Changxi Village who were destroyed by the fire?"
Don't argue with idiots.
