Chapter 228: A Mutual Affection
"Good night."
Gu Feixue returned to the house with a smile.
She didn't waste resources and slept on the bed.
After being exhausted for days, she finally had a good rest today. She lay on the wooden bed with her arms and legs spread out, completely exhausted.
In the second half of the night, she was woken up many times by the deafening sound of thunder.
I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly someone broke in. Gu Feixue opened her eyes from her daze, and when she looked closely, she saw that it was Yuchi Shuo, she felt strange.
"What are you doing?"
"Go, it's dangerous."
He grabbed her and walked out without saying a word.
At this moment, the sky was shaking and the earth was trembling. A mysterious force made the ground shake. Without Yuchi Shuo's reminder, Gu Feixue knew that they could not stay here any longer. The two of them ran as fast as they could. Before they reached the door, the thatched hut had already collapsed with a loud bang.
Yuchi Shuo was in front and Gu Feixue was behind.
The beam of the hut came crashing down, hitting Gu Feixue on the shoulder. She screamed and fell to the ground.
As for Yuchi Shuo, he hurriedly turned back.
"Let's go, let's go."
The ground seemed to have turned into a flowing ocean, and she felt her body moving towards a dangerous place. She reminded him, but Yuchi Shuo dug the ground with his bare hands and quickly pulled Gu Feixue out.
He held her horizontally and jumped away.
The two rolled on the ground, and Gu Feixue could only hold Yuchi Shuo tightly.
When the roar gradually died down, she looked carefully and found that the hut had been swallowed up by a mudslide, and the place where the hut was had turned into a sticky swamp.
Those bamboo fences and those towering trees with lush branches and leaves were all sacrificed.
It is conceivable that if Yuchi Shuo had not sacrificed himself to save her, she would have been swallowed by the mudslide.
"Thank you." The voice was vague and hoarse, expressing the turmoil in his heart.
"What's the big deal?" Yuchi Shuo smiled complacently, seeming very proud.
Yes, how could he not be happy that he could save her from danger?
Gu Feixue noticed that Yuchi Shuo's hands were hiding, which made her feel strange, and suddenly she thought of something.
"Your Highness, let me see your hands." Yuchi Shuo didn't want to show her and deliberately hid his hands.
"Let me see!"
She gave the order in a dignified manner, and Yuchi Shuo had no choice but to extend his hand. When Gu Feixue saw it, she was immediately shocked. His fingers were covered with scars, bleeding, and there were some wood chips stuck in them.
“Oh, you…”
Her heart was broken, and she could not blame anyone, so she pulled him to a safer place.
The two of them sat on the ground.
He looked at her worrying about him and feeling anxious, and the injury on his hand suddenly stopped hurting. "Xue'er, you care about me."
"You're talking nonsense. How can I not care about you at this time?" Gu Feixue was very anxious. At this moment, the sky was getting light and the sky was a fraction of a second in the east. Gu Feixue took off her gold hairpin and polished it on a rough stone. Soon it became a sharp silver needle.
Then she tore open her sleeve to make a rag, soaked it in water and washed the mud off his hands.
Then he used a golden hairpin to pry open her fingers.
She was as careful as if she were doing archaeology, and would let out a long sigh every time she found something.
"In the palace," Yuchi Shuo sighed, "everyone is very kind to me, but their kindness is actually a kind of exchange. I understand clearly that this is a kind of exchange of interests."
"You and I are the same," Gu Feixue sneered, "You will have to pay me five hundred taels of silver later."
"Five hundred taels of gold is no problem." Since it was a joke, why take it seriously, so he took advantage of the situation.
Seeing that he was making fun of himself, Gu Feixue continued to say naughty words, but in fact it was just to divert his attention. It took her a quarter of an hour to finally clear out all the wood chips inside.
Gu Feixue breathed a sigh of relief in victory.
"How does it feel?"
"It's very comfortable, not painful at all."
"That also needs to be bandaged. You can't go out of the water for the next week. Whatever you need to do, I will do it for you." Gu Feixue pointed at herself, then washed the torn sleeves and bandaged his wound carefully with three layers of bandages inside and outside.
Seeing Gu Feixue taking care of him so wholeheartedly, Yuchi Shuo was deeply moved.
This night laid the foundation for the relationship between the two people. Perhaps not needing to express anything is also a kind of expression.
The two people showed up the next day. Gu Lang felt strange when he saw them.
In fact, he was happy to see it happen.
On the contrary, it was Madam Gu, who had witnessed many turbulent events in the court, and she developed an internal aversion to Yuchi Shuo in front of her.
Before, Gu Feixue thought that her mother was like every other woman of this era.
Their fate is closely related to men. They have no independent economy and thoughts. They have a miserable life but try hard to live. But later Gu Feixue discovered that her mother was completely different from those people.
She is well-educated and well-mannered, and she will support whatever Gu Lang wants to do.
"Your Highness." Madam Gu saluted Yuchi Shuo expressionlessly.
Gu Feixue has already grabbed her mother's hand.
"I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect you to come."
"I've been looking for you all the way. You left a signal, and your brother is here. So we just traced the source." Hearing this, Gu Feixue nodded.
She looked at Mrs. Gu and saw that the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were like a complicated wiring diagram. She suddenly felt sad. She also found that her mother's palms were very rough, which made her feel even more uncomfortable.
"Mom, my brother is now stable. You should also take care of yourself."
"What maintenance do you need?" Madam Gu smiled. "I'm really middle-aged now. As long as you are safe and healthy, I'll be happy."
After they chatted for a while, Gu Feixue sensitively realized that Mrs. Gu was unhappy.
"Mom, why are you so worried?"
"Xue'er, are you really going to the Imperial Capital?" Her mother's eyes were empty. Gu Feixue nodded. She had no idea why her mother would stop her. "Only by going to the Imperial Capital can we prove our innocence. Mother, we must redress our wrongdoings. Otherwise, the longer we stay outside, the more dangerous it will be, and the more schemes we'll face from all sides."
How could Madam not know all this?
She sighed now.
"Xue'er, you went to the capital half for him, right?" Mother said bluntly.
"What, what about him?" Gu Feixue blushed, trying to avoid the attack, but the lady continued to talk non-stop, "Xue'er, we are guilty, and the court doesn't think much of your father. There are some things you must understand. If you really get stuck in this mess, you will be the only one who suffers."
"I, I understand." Gu Feixue didn't agree with these words, but she didn't dare to sing a different tune either. "Mom, you're worrying too much. It's not time yet."
