Chapter 128: Rabbits are so cute, how can you eat them?
When Zhao Mingzhu woke up, Gu Qingheng was gone.
A question mark slowly emerged in Zhao Mingzhu's mind. It was not because she was worried that the other party would run away, but because she thought that people nowadays were too physically strong.
He had wounds on his chest and back and was running a fever, but he still had the energy to run around.
Zhao Mingzhu went to the water's edge and washed her face thoroughly, only then did she realize how dirty she was.
She thought carefully about the feasibility of taking a bath in the waterfall.
"Don't go down there. It's not clean."
I don't know when Gu Qingheng came back, I saw him holding a gray rabbit in his hand, it seems that this is the staple food today.
Zhao Mingzhu reluctantly turned her gaze away from the water and said dejectedly:
"Such crystal clear water cannot be used for bathing."
"This is wild water. There might be parasites like schistosomiasis in it. Just be patient and wait for Changhe to bring people over to find it."
Zhao Mingzhu thought about it and sat by the fire.
The hare that Gu Qingheng caught was still alive and kicking its legs, but the next moment its neck was broken, and he slashed with the knife, skinning and pulling out its bones.
It was obviously a very bloody scene, but he made it look pleasing to the eye.
As the slender fingers moved back and forth, the intact gray rabbit skin fell to the ground.
The two of them had almost revealed their cards, so Zhao Mingzhu was less hesitant and said casually:
"You're so skilled! Where did you learn that? No wonder you didn't even blink when you broke Zhao Mingzhu's neck on your wedding night."
This craftsmanship can be seen from this hare.
Gu Qingheng's eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings. He paused and said slowly, "I didn't know you would come."
Zhao Mingzhu waved her hand after hearing this: "I just said it casually. Besides, I didn't possess you when you got married in the dream. And when you did possess me later, you didn't actually strangle me to death."
He and Gu Qingheng in the dream are essentially not the same person.
Gu Qingheng slowed down his movements and said softly:
"Just like in your previous dream, I was imprisoned, but apart from the meal containing my mother's flesh and blood, no other food was brought to me."
He spoke calmly, as if he was telling someone else's story.
"I've eaten mice, snakes, birds, and even reptiles. I can't bite mice and snakes unless I skin them."
Gu Qingheng seemed to be amused himself. He put on a faint smile and watched Zhao Mingzhu joking.
"Is this what practice makes perfect?"
Zhao Mingzhu didn't know what to say after hearing this. She had only seen Gu Qingheng twice as a child, but he was dressed appropriately at the time, and in fact, his appearance did not show that he had been abused at all.
Zhao Mingzhu looked at his profile, her eyebrows and eyes like silver hooks: "Did Gu Xun and his people imprison you?"
"Yes and no. They were his maternal grandfather's family. When the emperor was on tour, they took the opportunity to rebel and wanted to support Gu Xun to take the throne."
"My mother and I were their primary enemies and should have been the first to die. After capturing us, my mother hanged herself to avoid humiliation. They were about to attack us, but unexpectedly, my father returned in time... and left me, Gu Yu, and the other princes and princesses behind as bargaining chips."
In the end, Gu Xun's maternal grandfather's family was changed from nine clans to five clans, and their children and descendants were enslaved for generations.
Gu Xun and his sister were expelled from the capital and sent to guard the imperial mausoleum.
Gu Qingheng roasted the rabbit over the fire, and the firelight shone brightly on his face.
Zhao Mingzhu fell silent. Gu Qingheng, the most valuable bargaining chip among the prince's daughters in this rebellion, became the target of public criticism.
They tortured the child to the maximum extent possible while ensuring his survival.
Even the body of the queen, who had committed suicide, was not spared, and her flesh and blood were chopped up and mixed into the daily cheese.
Killing someone and destroying their heart.
Zhao Mingzhu turned her face away. No matter when she heard it, she felt it was too cruel.
Perhaps sensing Zhao Mingzhu's bad mood, Gu Qingheng added, "It's all over, Mingzhu."
Judging from the dream, whether in the past life or this life, he will eventually take revenge.
He did not let any of those who had escaped the net go. He cut off their hands and feet, cut off their mouths and tongues, and turned them all into human pigs.
But the more nonchalant Gu Qingheng was, the more upset Zhao Mingzhu felt.
"Stop laughing, Gu Qingheng."
Gu Qingheng stopped turning the wooden stick, and there was some doubt in his usually sharp eyes.
A moment later.
"I am the crown prince, the heir apparent to a nation. I cannot cry."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Mingzhu blinked and tears fell like beads from a broken string.
Gu Qingheng can't cry, but Zhao Mingzhu can cry.
She didn't make a sound, just cried silently. Seeing this, Gu Qingheng felt a little helpless, and he reached out to wipe away her tears.
Finally, Gu Qingheng stood up, knelt in front of her, held her shoulders, and kissed away the tears with care.
He whispered, "Mingzhu, are you crying for me?"
Zhao Mingzhu also felt that her crying was embarrassing. She glared at Gu Qingheng and asked, "What does this have to do with you?"
She pulled up Gu Qingheng's sleeve and wiped it dry, then said in a domineering tone, "I want to eat the rabbit leg. Both of them must be left to me."
"Can you finish it?"
Gu Qingheng followed her instructions and cut off one of the rabbit legs and handed it to her.
Zhao Mingzhu looked at the golden rabbit leg with a fragrant burnt aroma, took a big bite and mumbled, "What's it to you?"
This was Zhao Mingzhu, who was rarely seen in the past, but now she seemed to have chosen to let herself go.
"Gu Qingheng, when will Changhe and the others arrive? I want to take a shower and change clothes quickly, otherwise my hair will get fleas."
Zhao Mingzhu ate in small bites while Gu Qingheng picked up wild fruits from beside him and squeezed the juice onto her rabbit legs.
"It's not tasty, so you'll have to make do with it."
"Changhe will come quickly when he sees the signal. Please wait patiently."
Gu Qingheng responded to every word he said, and Zhao Mingzhu enjoyed the service as she deserved, as it was all she deserved for her hard work along the way.
The original rabbit legs are indeed tasteless and a bit fishy, but the added juice is sweet and sour, although I can’t say it is very delicious.
But it is indeed more palatable than before.
"Gu Qingheng, if the killer arrives before Changhe, can we, who are weak and sick, escape successfully?"
Gu Qingheng placed the most delicious slices on the outer layer on a banana leaf and gave it to Zhao Mingzhu.
"Don't worry, you will definitely be the last one to die."
“Then I’m really touched.”
Zhao Mingzhu took two slices and ate them, then pushed them back: "I can't eat any more."
After hearing this, Gu Qingheng ate all the leftovers. The rabbit meat would taste even worse if it got cold.
He will catch some fish and roast them later. Fish tastes better than roasted rabbit.
After eating and drinking, Zhao Mingzhu leaned against the rock in the shade of the low waterfall, where no matter how strong the sun was, it could not shine in.
She was bored and looked up at the sky and began to count the birds flying by. As she was counting, she discovered a rainbow.
The rainbow above the waterfall is particularly bright.
It makes people feel good when they see it.
When Gu Qingheng came to her side, Zhao Mingzhu was already asleep. He reached out and tucked her hair behind her ears.
The tip of his finger fell on the mole, Zhao Mingzhu's eyebrows moved, and Gu Qingheng put it away.
He chuckled softly, "Good boy." He cried as well.
Changhe in the tree withdrew his gaze and took a bite of dry food.
Sometimes I wonder whether it is a blessing or a curse for the Crown Princess that His Highness is like this.
He sighed softly, then again, let alone the Crown Princess.
When it comes to strategy, few can rival His Highness.
