Chapter 13: Want to get something for free? No way
The next day.
Before daybreak, Zhao Mingzhu's eyes were dark and bloodshot, and it was obvious that she had not slept all night.
As soon as she arrived, Gu Qingheng sat down.
He would never meet her at this time in the past, not to mention that she arrived earlier than him. Gu Qingheng's eyes flashed with surprise.
"Princess, I didn't sleep last night. If you feel unwell, please call the imperial physician."
Zhao Mingzhu looked at Gu Qingheng. In front of him was half a bowl of lily porridge, a plate of honey soft rolls, and a bowl of sweet pumpkin soup.
These are all sweet, and it’s no secret that Prince Edward likes sweet things.
Zhao Mingzhu's mind replayed the numbness he felt when he ate that bowl of cheese. She straightened her lips and said suddenly:
"Feel sorry."
Gu Qingheng paused holding the porcelain spoon, and Changhe behind him was even more surprised by Zhao Mingzhu's sudden apology.
Could it be that she was planning to murder him and she was feeling ashamed?
Gu Qingheng asked calmly, "Why?"
Zhao Mingzhu reached out and took all the dessert in front of him and ate it himself, wiped his mouth and shrugged and said:
"Because I'm hungry, I want to take yours."
Zhao Mingzhu tried her best to act normal, she couldn't say why.
She kept telling herself it was just a dream.
That was not a dream, it was real.
It was the first time that Gu Qingheng looked the person in front of him in the face. His thin lips were pursed into a sharp arc, and his eyelashes were thick and long, covering his ink-black eyes, which were slightly cold.
Chang He looked at Zhao Mingzhu and said dissatisfiedly, "His Highness didn't eat last night. Today, these are his favorite dishes. If the Crown Princess wants to eat, she can ask the kitchen to make an extra portion."
Zhao Mingzhu said nothing, just ate in silence, even eating like a whirlwind.
Chang He was so angry that he could only stare blankly.
After a depressing meal, Zhao Mingzhu and Gu Qingheng walked out of the East Palace gate side by side. Zhao Mingzhu said weakly:
"Your Highness, don't force yourself if you don't like it. The most important thing in life is to be happy."
This call was even more incomprehensible. Zhao Mingzhu knew it, but she had to say it out loud, otherwise she would be suffocated to death.
After she finished speaking, she turned around and returned to the East Palace. Gu Qingheng pondered: "Let Yinzhu come to see me."
Changhe: “Yes.”
Gu Qingheng sat upright in the carriage, and Yinzhu stopped outside the carriage and said respectfully:
"Master, what do you want me to do?"
Gu Qingheng came back to his senses and looked at the travelogue in his hand, which was still on the first page:
"Who did the Crown Princess meet?"
Yinzhu said without hesitation: "Your Highness, Jinzhu and I have been guarding outside the palace all night, and the Crown Princess has not gone out."
Gu Qingheng's expression became much calmer. The golden sunlight cast a soft glow on his skin, which now seemed faint and distant.
"Prompting them to resume correspondence with the Crown Princess."
Yinzhu was shocked when she heard this. She was a secret guard trained by the Eastern Palace. Over the years, His Highness had not given any orders personally for a long time.
A voice came from the carriage curtain with Lanzhi patterns again: "Any doubts?"
Yinzhu held his breath and said respectfully, "No, I will obey your orders."
Changhe, who witnessed the entire process of the order being issued, was very impatient. Zhao Mingzhu should have died long ago, and letting her live until now was already a mercy outside the law.
Her time of death has come.
While in the carriage, Gu Qingheng recalled the words: The most important thing in life is to be happy.
There was a faint smile on his lips, which dissipated like mist.
Zhao Mingzhu climbed back into bed and began to take a nap. Fortunately, the nightmare that tormented her all night did not recur.
So when she woke up again and looked at the colorful clouds outside, she didn't react for a moment.
"Qiao'er, gold beads, silver beads?"
Yinzhu appeared first, holding water and said:
"Daughter's Day is coming soon. Sister Qiao'er and Jinzhu have gone out to buy fireworks, paper-cut lanterns, and other things. Princess, I will serve you."
Zhao Mingzhu didn't have any suspicion about this. She sat in front of the dressing mirror, yawning, and watched Yinzhu tie her hair for her.
Zhao Mingzhu supported herself with her hands and squinted her eyes. After a while, she saw the bun on her head and felt a little uncertain.
After comparing them again and again, she was silent for a moment: "Why don't you just find a red rope to tie it up."
In a way, Yinzhu is really a genius. After all, not everyone can comb their hair into a toad shape.
She didn't want to go out with such a mess on her head.
Yinzhu also knew that her hands were only suitable for killing, so she did as she was told without saying a word.
Seeing that she didn't answer, Zhao Mingzhu thought that her self-esteem was hurt.
Zhao Mingzhu turned around and patted her hands: "It doesn't matter. Being ugly and unique is also a skill."
Immediately, she was attracted by Yinzhu's hand and said in surprise:
"Aren't you the Crown Prince's first-class maidservant? Why are your hands so rough?"
Yinzhu paused after hearing this: "I have been tied like this since I was a child... Madam, do you think it is okay to tie it like this?"
Zhao Mingzhu looked in the bronze mirror, but couldn't see the back of her head.
“It looks good.”
Zhao Mingzhu fiddled with her jewelry box out of boredom and suddenly pulled out a ball of pink paper. She asked, "?"
She suddenly remembered the 'adulterer' who had never seen his true face in Cangyun Temple.
This man is truly omnipotent. He was able to enter the East Palace quietly and put the paper ball in her jewelry box quietly.
Zhao Mingzhu pulled the jewelry aside to cover herself up again, wondering if there was anyone in the world more extraordinary than Gu Qingheng?
The damn plot is not mentioned at all.
After Yinzhu left, Zhao Mingzhu picked up the paper ball and slowly opened it.
really.
Meet in the back alley of the East Palace at 11:30 PM.
Zhao Mingzhu took just one look and then tore it to pieces. She pointed her index finger at the sandalwood table, wondering how to properly and thoroughly resolve this matter.
…
My head itches. It’s so good. I don’t have a brain at all.
Zhao Mingzhu collapsed on the bed, feeling really embarrassed.
The night gradually deepened, and dark clouds obscured the crescent moon. Zhao Mingzhu opened the door to the back alley and looked around.
She was standing in front of the door. She heard a cat meowing in the corner of the door, so she lifted her skirt and walked over.
"Now that you're here, why are you hiding?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a masked man in black appeared. He looked around vigilantly and finally stopped at Zhao Mingzhu.
"Miss Zhao, have you forgotten your agreement with our master?"
Zhao Mingzhu was of course unaware of this agreement. She didn't show any fear and said nonchalantly, "Why rush?"
The man in black frowned after hearing this: "Are you really in love with Gu Qingheng? Do you want to betray our master?"
To be honest, Zhao Mingzhu had thought of thousands of possibilities, but this sentence still made her feel like a cat scratching her heart.
What is going on? What is going on?
She remembered clearly that the original owner of the book was madly in love with Gu Qingheng, and for this reason she had a quarrel with the original owner and used all means to marry into the Eastern Palace.
This all sounds fake. Did she marry into the family to become a spy?!
Is this adulterer a real adulterer? But the toad blood on her arm is still there.
Before Zhao Mingzhu could get out of bed due to the wind, the man in black threw a bottle of medicine into her arms.
"Master can't wait any longer, so I want you to use this Heartbreak Powder to send Gu Qingheng to the west."
This sentence made Zhao Mingzhu vaguely guess that she bought the mother-child Gu not because she loved Gu Qingheng, but because she wanted to control him to achieve other goals.
"etc."
Zhao Mingzhu stopped the person who was about to leave, blew on the non-existent hair and said:
“That’s another price.”
"What do you mean!" The man in black looked fierce after hearing this.
Zhao Mingzhu snorted. Who are you trying to scare? Am I really scared?
She stretched out her hand: "Let me work, you can't let me do it for nothing, right?"
If you want to get something for free, no way.
