Chapter 43: A philandering woman who still has affairs outside after getting married.
But Zhao Mingzhu still sneaked back late at night.
Zhao Mingzhu, who was climbing over the wall, sighed silently. She had two children at home and as a mother, she was always worried about them.
Who understands this feeling of concern?
When Zhao Mingzhu crouched down and groped her way back along the wall, she found that the light in her bedroom was on.
She looked through the gap and saw two cats meowing around Gu Qingheng.
Gu Qingheng sat under the window, teasing them with his hands:
"Are you looking for your mother? She won't be back tonight, so I'll take care of you."
...A strange sense of guilt arose in Zhao Mingzhu's heart, and she felt like a philandering woman who was still having affairs outside after getting married.
He is not a good person, just like those philandering men.
Zhao Mingzhu didn't know whether to go in or not, but if she didn't, she would feel like a thief. She wanted to lie down and observe for a while, and then go in after the person left.
Soon the two cats fell asleep side by side, and Gu Qingheng brought some gauze to cover them.
Zhao Mingzhu looked around and wanted to hide aside, but unfortunately she knocked over the vase. There was a loud shattering sound, and Qiao'er, Jinzhu and Yinzhu came running with lanterns.
"Your Highness."
Gu Qingheng looked at the vase in the corner and said, "It must have been blown down by the wind. You guys can go down."
Qiao'er looked around. Zhuye clearly didn't move much, but she still obediently bowed and left.
Gu Qingheng returned to his side hall. He closed the door and took off his outer coat. Under the dim candlelight, he stood tall and straight, like a green bamboo.
Zhao Mingzhu, squatting behind the screen, was filled with regret. Why did she have to hide in the side hall?
From the moment she stepped into Tingchao Courtyard, Zhao Mingzhu felt like she was possessed by another spirit. She was in a state of panic, especially when she saw Gu Qingheng.
What now?
The image of the angel Zhao Mingzhu and the devil Zhao Mingzhu fighting appeared in my mind.
Angel Zhao Mingzhu: "Don't worry, wait until he falls asleep, then leave quietly."
Devil Zhao Mingzhu: "Why bother? Just pick up the vase and knock him unconscious! That would be fine!"
Angel Zhao Mingzhu: "You are too violent. Mingzhu is already ashamed of climbing into someone's bed, and you even want to hit them."
The devil Zhao Mingzhu put her hands on her hips and said, "What's wrong with climbing into his bed? It's his honor. Why doesn't Mingzhu climb into someone else's bed? It's because she treats Gu Qingheng as a family member!"
Zhao Mingzhu: ...
She used her mind to send the demon Zhao Mingzhu away, sister, don’t create a new account.
She had just crawled out of the shadow of having her neck twisted on her wedding night and really didn't want to seek death again.
Zhao Mingzhu squatted there obediently and waited until Gu Qingheng fell asleep before leaving.
He shouldn't have noticed me before I climbed onto his bed yesterday, otherwise how could I have gotten on top of him? This meant I could leave quietly later.
So Zhao Mingzhu waited and waited, but the glass lamps showed no signs of going out except for being swayed occasionally by the wind.
And what about Gu Qingheng?
Gu Qingheng was wearing a thin round-necked brocade robe with a flying crane pattern and silver edges. His black hair was loose, like a piece of warm and unpolished jade. He was writing something at his desk.
God, if you heard my prayer by chance, then let him go to sleep... This is the eighth time Zhao Mingzhu has prayed.
Half an hour later, Zhao Mingzhu sat down in despair. Her legs were numb from squatting.
It was already late at night when they returned, and Zhao Mingzhu had been waiting for so long that she began to doze off.
When people are sleepy, they tend to relax. Let her discover what she wants to discover. Even if you think she is a pervert, wait until she wakes up.
Occasionally, thunder would explode in the candlelight. Gu Qingheng finished his last stroke and looked at the rose stand outside. It was now in full bloom, and the fragrance of the flowers flowed into the hall with the wind.
...When Zhao Mingzhu opened her eyes again, the room was pitch black except for the moonlight. She yawned silently.
Crouching down, she walked towards the door. When she opened the crack, she saw the long river leaning against the pillar.
…
A long river?!
No, why is he here again?
Qiao'er didn't mean that he was lazy, but that he was able to climb into bed successfully because he was lazy!
Zhao Mingzhu's lips moved: "Braise."
She was now in a difficult situation, with Gu Qingheng inside and Chang He outside. She could almost imagine that if she went out through this door again, rumors that shouldn't have appeared would appear.
Zhao Mingzhu closed the door. Was she going to sleep on the floor tonight and look for another opportunity tomorrow?
Zhao Mingzhu looked at the cold blue bricks and woke up with cold legs.
Just as she turned around, Gu Qingheng appeared behind her holding a candlestick, wearing white clothes and with long hair. Zhao Mingzhu was instantly shocked.
"..." A large, warm hand stopped the high-pitched scream from her throat.
"Crown Princess, if you call me now, I really can't explain it."
Gu Qingheng's words perfectly hit Zhao Mingzhu's sore spot.
Zhao Mingzhu understood, nodded like a little chicken, and rubbed her soft lips against his palm, causing a slight itch.
Gu Qingheng kept his expression calm as he put his hands away and put them behind his back.
Zhao Mingzhu felt very uncomfortable. She leaned against the door with a vague look in her eyes, wondering how to respond to the next words.
How should she explain the reason for her appearance in the side hall in a way that would seem normal?
But Gu Qingheng didn't ask anything: "It's a little dark, be careful with your steps."
Zhao Mingzhu listened and followed him slowly, thinking that Gu Qingheng was planning to ask in another place.
"Sit down." Gu Qingheng blew out the candle and said calmly, "Is it because I offended the Crown Princess last night that I don't want to go back to the East Palace today?"
Zhao Mingzhu sat on the edge of the bed, her legs undoubtedly swinging because she was a little nervous.
She shook her head instantly after hearing this. Perhaps it was because the other party was really calm, or perhaps it was because the dark space was more comfortable at the moment, which made Zhao Mingzhu tell the truth.
"I offended His Highness. I feel guilty and ashamed to face him." He was still a little scared.
Gu Qingheng walked out of the darkness under the moonlight:
"I'm not offended by you, nor am I angry. You don't have to hold a grudge against me and be afraid to even go home."
He knew that Zhao Mingzhu had always been wary of and afraid of him, and probably saw through his intentions on their wedding night.
She has been avoiding being close to me, which is normal and the right choice.
Zhao Mingzhu looked up at him. His face was serene, and his eyes were calm, which made people convinced.
Zhao Mingzhu lowered her head again and said nothing, but she swung her legs less frequently.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your magnanimity."
She felt that she should be frank about the bed-climbing issue, and whispered:
"What happened last night was the result of a mistake I made in the past, and I reaped the consequences."
Although she still couldn't figure out why she drank both cups, she was greedy for Gu Qingheng instead of herself.
Is it the law of first sight?
Anyway, the fact is, after the last hot spring trip and this time climbing into bed.
It is certain that she will become greedy for Gu Qingheng because of the poisonous insect. As long as the poisonous insect problem is not solved, this situation will occur again in the future.
"On our wedding night, the wine I drank was poisoned. That's why what happened last night happened."
She vaguely mentioned the Gu worm, then hurriedly said:
"The next time Your Highness sees me having an attack, please have someone tie me up. That way I won't offend Your Highness."
"Will you feel uncomfortable when you get sick?" Gu Qingheng suddenly asked.
After hearing this, Zhao Mingzhu recalled that she could not remember most of it, but she seemed to feel no pain in her body.
She shook her head: "No."
