Chapter 109 The feeling of speeding
Everyone became interested after hearing what Wen Ling said and were curious about what would happen tomorrow.
Wen Ling did not continue the topic. She moved closer to the princess and whispered, "Princess, I really have something to ask of you today."
When the princess heard this, she realized that something was finally happening to her. She perked up, sat up straight, came closer, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"
Wen Ling gestured to Qing Ruxu beside him and said, "When I went to the bathroom just now, I rescued this eunuch who was almost tortured to death in the woods, and then..."
She briefly recounted what happened next.
The eldest princess' mouth twitched after hearing this. You're right, this is indeed something Wen Ling could do.
However, it was not difficult for her to arrange a eunuch in the palace, and she agreed immediately: "I thought you came to me so mysteriously because you wanted to conspire with me on something big, but I didn't expect that such a small matter would make me excited for nothing."
"Don't worry, I'll take care of this for you," the princess said, and after thinking for a while, she said, "Well, doesn't he want to be powerful? The fastest way to climb up is to go to my brother's throne room. I happen to have an acquaintance there, so I can take care of him.
However, what he can do in the end depends on his own ability and luck. ”
Wen Ling looked at Qing Ruxu and said, "Is the Golden Palace okay?"
Qing Ruxu was already screaming like a groundhog in her heart. What do you mean by "Golden Palace"? Is that okay?
That's a place where you can't work without some connections or enough money to bribe people!
If we count all the "favorites" in front of the current emperor, except for the top eunuch Fulin, the rest all caught the emperor's eye after serving in the Golden Palace.
Qing Ruxu would take such a big risk at that time, take risks for one hundred taels, and do the dirty thing he was most unwilling to do, just to get the silver and enter the Golden Palace.
He wanted to kowtow to express his gratitude, but found that it was inconvenient because there were people around him, so he could only bow and salute: "Thank you for the arrangement, Princess. The place I want to enter most is the Golden Throne Hall. I am grateful for your kindness. From now on, Princess and Princess will ask me to do anything!"
The princess smiled and waved her hand: "No need, I'm just helping A Ling, but I don't mean to plant spies around my brother, just be yourself."
She didn't even ask about Qing Ruxu's origin, because she trusted Wen Ling instead of Qing Ruxu.
Soon, when no one was paying attention at the bonfire party, the eldest princess called a eunuch in charge and whispered a few words to him.
The eunuch in charge responded repeatedly, and when he left again, he took Qing Ruxu with him.
No one noticed when Qing Ruxu came, and no one noticed when he left.
This feeling was amazing for him, who used to be the center of attention wherever he went, and it was more of a feeling of relief.
Before leaving, Qing Ruxu turned back and looked at Wen Ling deeply.
Wen Ling no longer looked at him. She lowered her head and carefully finished a leg of lamb. Her cheeks were bulging from eating so much that she looked a bit childish and very adorable.
It's hard to imagine that a girl who looks so weak and harmless can have such powerful abilities.
Everything that happened tonight seemed like a dream to him...
Qing Ruxu secretly swore in his heart that he must survive in this cannibalistic palace.
He has to climb up to the highest place step by step from the bottom!
From today on, he will no longer ask the channel for clarity. He will change his name to Gao Deng, who only wants to climb up!
Not only does he want to avenge his family's blood feud, but he also wants to repay Wen Ling's kindness!
Wen Ling didn't think too much about it. After Qing Ruxu left, she began to concentrate on dry-roasting the whole lamb.
The rumors about her from the outside world have no effect on her at all.
She has her own balance when doing things. She only does what she thinks is right and will not do it for the comments of others.
What's more, she is well aware of the bad nature of the masses. No one can satisfy everyone. Even a saint will be pulled down from the altar if he does something unbecoming of a saint once.
When she was finally almost full, the bonfire party was coming to an end.
Everyone said goodbye to each other and went home.
There were also many loving couples. After the officials came back from the male guests, they took the initiative to go to the female guests and waited for their wives to come out from a distance in the aisle.
On the surface, no one said anything and might even make a few jokes, but how many ladies didn't secretly envy the ladies who had someone to pick them up?
Wen Ling felt nothing. She started to feel sleepy after eating. She quickened her pace on the way back, just wanting to wash up and rest early.
Just as she was walking quickly past an intersection, a familiar voice suddenly called out from the side: "A Ling."
Wen Ling stopped and looked over, and found that the person calling her was Gu Chenran.
She asked in surprise, "Hey, why are you here?"
Gu Chenran: “…”
He was silent for a moment, then said helplessly: "I'll come and pick you up."
"Pick me up?" Wen Ling was even more puzzled: "Why pick me up? I know the way back."
Gu Chenran again: "..."
He was choked and didn't know what to say.
"Puchi" the laughter of the eldest princess and the two marquises came from behind.
It turned out that they had been behind all the time and heard the conversation between the two people clearly, and they couldn't help but laugh.
No matter how thick-skinned Gu Chenran was, he couldn't help blushing.
Wen Ling was even more confused; she didn't understand what was so funny.
When Lady Zhenbei Hou passed by Wen Ling, she couldn't bear to watch any more and pointed at her, "Of course Prince Chen knew that you could go back alone. He came to pick you up because he wanted to see you in advance. What a silly girl."
Then she took the eldest princess and the wife of Marquis Zhennan and left with her, keeping her merits and benefits hidden.
She has reminded me to this extent, so there must be no problem.
Gu Chenran's ears were so red that blood seemed to be dripping out.
Wen Ling turned to look at Gu Chenran again, and she looked as if she had suddenly realized something: "So that's why, it's because you wanted to see me earlier."
Gu Chenran turned his head and scratched his neck as if nothing had happened, revealing his red ears.
He already had an evil look, and this shy look made him look even more shy.
Gu Chenran knew what made him look best, so he showed this scene to Wen Ling on purpose.
Now, Wen Ling must know something...
Wen Ling really knew it, she moved closer to Gu Chenran and whispered in his ear.
Even the warm breath sprayed on his ears.
At this moment, Gu Chenran seemed to be able to hear the sound of his heartbeat in his chest.
Wen Ling said in a low, magnetic voice, "Did you find out something about Xie Xin and Lord of the World, so you wanted to tell me earlier?"
“…”
Gu Chenran instantly felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over him from head to toe.
Speechless is no longer enough to describe his mood at the moment.
He took a deep breath and saw that Wen Ling's emotional insensitivity was even more serious than he had imagined.
No, this cannot go on like this, he must fight, a man must fight!
Gu Chenran looked up at Wen Ling, his pair of ink-black eyes sparkling as if there were stars twinkling in them.
"No, I didn't find anything. It's the same as what Lady Pingyang said. I just want to see you as soon as possible. Once I see you, I will feel at ease."
Well, is this direct enough? !
Wen Ling seemed to suddenly understand again, and Gu Chenran felt relieved. See, he really understood it this time.
He just said that we should speak more directly.
Unexpectedly, Wen Ling's next sentence was: "You must feel uncomfortable here, so you feel uneasy. You know I am powerful, so you feel at ease around me."
Gu Chenran: “…”
His bright eyes just dimmed.
Haha, isn't this just winking at the dog?
He was speechless and smiled. He stretched out his hand to scratch his hair and nodded: "Yes, you are right to understand it this way. This is one of the reasons why I want to see you."
Lu Jian, who was pushing Gu Chenran's wheelchair from behind, was pushing Gu Chenran with both hands, his head lowered deeply, and his shoulders were already twitching.
It's not because of anything else, I'm just trying to hold back my laughter.
Wen Ling looked at Lu Jian in surprise: "Why are you still twitching? Are you feeling unwell? If you are not feeling well, just take a rest. I will do the pushing."
In order to hide the fact that he could walk, Gu Chenran attracted too much attention outside, so he had to sit in a wheelchair.
When Lu Jian heard this, he quickly made way: "Yes, yes, yes, I have a cold today and I am weak all over. I am worried about others pushing the prince, so I am struggling a bit. I will be relieved to leave the prince to you."
Wen Ling nodded and pushed Gu Chenran's wheelchair towards the tent.
Gu Chenran turned his head and gave him a look that said "well done" from a perspective that Wen Ling couldn't see.
From the look in his eyes, Lu Jian knew that when he returned this time, he might be able to get another bonus!
However, the scene that Gu Chenran imagined of Wen Ling pushing his wheelchair and strolling along the winter forest path did not appear.
Because Wen Ling pushed his wheelchair forward very quickly.
With the speed of "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh", in just a short while, he overtook the eldest princess and the two marquises who were walking in front.
Then I overtook many people walking in front of me.
Many people just felt like a gust of wind blew past them, and when they looked forward, they only saw the back of a person pushing a wheelchair.
As for Gu Chenran, he just felt like there was a bull pushing him from behind.
The winter wind from the North Mountain blew towards his face.
He couldn't even open his mouth to speak, because as soon as he opened his mouth he would be filled with a mouthful of cold air.
When they arrived at the tent, the smile on Gu Chenran's face that he had just shown to Wen Ling was still frozen there.
He just felt that his face was so cold that it seemed like it was not his face anymore.
Wen Ling braked suddenly and stopped, holding a strand of hair, asking as if to take credit: "How is it, is this speed okay? Does it feel like driving at lightning speed?"
Gu Chenran: "...Yes, but why so quickly, are you in a hurry to go home?"
Wen Ling said proudly: "Don't you feel safer around me? I just want to show you my strength."
Gu Chenran really wanted to slap him in the face. Why did he say something else but that he felt safe around her?
"How is it? Is it amazing? Just look at this speed, can an ordinary assassin catch up with us?" Wen Ling asked again with a proud look.
Gu Chenran: "...very powerful, but don't do this next time. I'm afraid the assassin won't catch up and hurt me, and I'll get a cold first."
Wen Ling tilted her head: "How could that be? I feel very hot right now."
Gu Chenran bit his back teeth and said firmly, "That's because I'm in front of you to block the wind, and of course you won't feel hot when you run!"
Wen Ling suddenly realized: "Yes, you are right."
Gu Chenran: “…”
After entering the tent, Gu Chenran stood up from the wheelchair.
Wen Ling even felt that his steps were a little weak and his legs were shaking a little.
It seems that I was really cold in the wheelchair just now.
Wen Ling said a little embarrassedly: "Take a bath first, warm up your body first, and I will take a bath after you finish."
Next to the big tent is a small tent for bathing, with charcoal fire and hot water burning inside. There are special people guarding it, and it is very warm to take a bath.
The large and small tents are connected, which is very convenient.
Gu Chenran waved his hand: "It's okay, you wash first, I can follow you."
Wen Ling pushed him over there and said, "Okay, stop talking nonsense. You are already weak, don't let this catch you any more colds. Hurry up and wash, and I can do the washing."
Gu Chenran extracted the key words, stopped, turned around and asked: "Who said I'm weak?"
Wen Ling: "Before, when you were exercising, you could even fall off a tree stump. If you're not weak, then who is weak?"
Gu Chenran shouted in his heart, that’s how I attract you! I am not weak, I am not weak at all!
But he couldn't prove it, and he was pushed into the small tent by Wen Ling's strong arms.
He gave up struggling, okay, let him wash first.
Wen Ling looked at the big tent and saw only one bed.
Fortunately, the bed is big enough, probably almost three meters long.
She took the low sofa that was lying on the blanket on the floor next to her and placed it in the middle.
Such a large bed was divided into two, into two beds that could communicate with each other without disturbing each other.
When you go to bed, draw the bed curtains and even if someone suddenly breaks in, they won’t be able to see anything.
Just as Wen Ling was about to go out and ask someone to bring back an extra quilt, she suddenly heard a "bang" of something falling to the ground from the small tent next door, followed by a muffled groan of pain.
Wen Ling frowned when she thought of Gu Chenran inside, and quickly ran into the small tent to check the situation.
"Gu Chenran, are you okay?!"
She shouted as she walked inside.
There was only a rising fog inside the small tent. The fog was so thick that one could hardly see what was going on inside.
In the dim light, I could only see a bathtub with a thin and naked figure standing in the middle.
Her ink-black long hair just covers the mysterious part of her curvy back.
Following Wen Ling's loud shout, the figure stiffened noticeably, and then he squatted into the bathtub.
