Chapter 72: Screaming in the middle of the night (begging for the first order, begging for a reward)
Gu Qingcheng spent a few days anxiously, but Du Juan never returned to the mansion, and she didn't want to sit still, so she continued to dig a hole at night until the hole was dug enough to accommodate a person, and she settled down. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In the middle of the night, Gu Qingcheng suddenly heard a scream in the distance, it seemed to be a woman's terrible scream, she heard it terribly, she thought that the sound only appeared in her sleep, but when she opened her eyes, she found that the voice was still there.
"Lady, what's wrong with you?" Shen Tianao looked at her sleepily.
"No, nothing." Gu Qingcheng struggled to get up and said, she was sweating profusely, her expression was obviously panicked, as soon as her eyes touched Shen Tianao, thinking of the scene of him pretending to be crazy and stupid in front of her these days, she shuddered, she tightly grabbed the mattress under her, and said with difficulty: "Lord Wang, don't worry, I just had a nightmare." ā
Shen Tianao didn't say anything more, there was a strange look in his eyes, it seemed to be a smile and a sigh, he wrapped his arms around Gu Qingcheng's thin shoulders and wrapped her in his arms.
She was originally in a panic, but because of this cold hug, she trembled even more, she pursed her lips, not daring to look back at Shen Tianao's face.
Screams poured in from the window, especially infiltrating in the dark night, Gu Qingcheng plugged his ears with his hands and forced himself to sleep.
A few days have passed like this, and Gu Qingcheng feels more and more that this cry is very poignant, and now there is no one in the palace who can be trusted, whether it is Tsing Yi or Lu Yi, or Steward Chen and Shen Tianao.
At ten o'clock in the middle of the night, Gu Qingcheng pretended to sleep, she waited for Shen Tianao to fall asleep, quietly put on her clothes and walked out, in order not to alarm the people around her, she didn't dare to light candles, groped her way forward, only to see the terrible screams getting closer and closer, as if ghostly haunting around her.
As she drew nearer and nearer to the voice, sure it was coming from the low room in front of her, a place she seemed to have never been to before, and seemed extremely unfamiliar, and she stepped down the path by the dim moonlight, and approached the house.
Gu Tingcheng stood cautiously outside the house, she pierced the paper window and looked inside, the light inside was very dim, and the small candle flame was flickering, as if it was going to be extinguished at any time. She saw a man with a long whip in his hand, swinging it fiercely at a woman.
She covered her mouth in surprise, she didn't think that there was such a secret place in the palace, she continued to look inside, only to see that the woman who was tied to the pillar was covered in blood, and part of the blood had coagulated into dark red, she was looking up at the face, the messy long hair was on the pale little face, although the face was unkempt, Gu Qingcheng still recognized her at a glance.
"Cuckoo!" She let out a soft snort, her right hand clasping tightly on the eaves.
What the hell is going on? The more Gu Tingcheng thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, the first few **** obviously saw the cuckoo leave the palace, why did he appear here again at this time, and was treated like this, could it be that Shen Tianao found out about it? The more she thought about it, the more panicked she felt, as if a huge net was coming at her.
The long whip continued to swing towards the cuckoo, and the screams coming from inside the house made Gu Qingcheng feel distressed, she couldn't wait to rush in immediately to rescue the cuckoo, but she knew very well the consequences of going in like this, it was nothing more than hitting the stone with an egg, and even exposing her, although things became like this, she and Shen Tianao did not break the relationship on the surface, if even she was under house arrest, then no one would rescue the cuckoo from here.
She whispered, "Cuckoo, wait for me." ā
Shen Tianao had already found out that she had slipped out, this time he did not follow, but waited quietly in the dormitory for Gu Qingcheng, she went out for a long time, until she heard the sound of opening the door, Shen Tianao squinted at her slightly, only to see her face panicked, and the expression in her eyes was particularly pitiful, like an injured little beast.
is really a woman who makes him unconscious, but running around with his child, he feels that Gu Qingcheng makes him angry and makes him feel distressed, if it weren't for the plan for the future, he really didn't want to continue pretending with her.
Gu Qingcheng sat quietly on the edge of the bed like a puppet, her chest seemed to be blocked, about to suffocate her, she never expected Shen Tianao's city to be so deep, now it seems that it was just his ploy to let her marry to the Anqing Mansion from the beginning, thinking about the days they spent together these days, her mood was extremely complicated.
A pair of hands gently wrapped around her waist, this intimate action made Gu Qingcheng tremble all over his body, his hands were so cold, as if a pair of invisible shackles were tightly restraining her.
"Let go of me." She desperately pulled away his slender fingers, Shen Tianao still looked at her with a stupid expression, looking at his smirk, Gu Qingcheng suddenly remembered that they hadn't completely torn their faces yet, at least now in name she was still his princess, and he was still a fool.
"Lady." He whispered her name and looked at her pitifully, "Do you dislike me?" ā
"Nothing." Gu Qingcheng barely pulled a smile, there was nothing more uncomfortable than pretending, she didn't know why Shen Tianao had such a strong mental quality, but she couldn't do it, she felt that her face was about to tense together, she just wanted to escape from the Anqing Mansion as soon as possible, this place that suffocated her.
Shen Tianao stroked her smooth face little by little, and he whispered in her ear: "Lady, stay by my side obediently." ā
This sentence sounded like sweet words on the surface, but it sounded like a warning to Gu Qingcheng, and she didn't say anything about his words, and even silenced.
Shen Tianao's eyes showed a slightly meaningful smile, he returned to the bed and continued to sleep, while Gu Qingcheng tossed and turned, all she thought about was how to solve the cuckoo, if she didn't save her, according to this degree of torture, the cuckoo wouldn't last long at all.
The next day, Shen Tianao left the bedroom early, and Gu Qingcheng watched him gradually disappear in front of him, and the sense of oppression was slowly relieved.
She was absent-minded all day, Tsing Yi called her several times, she came back to her senses, only to see Tsing Yi smiling and handing a bowl of soup medicine into her hand and said, "Princess, you better drink this bowl of medicine while it's hot." ā
The bowl of brown decoction in front of her was full of warmth, Gu Tingcheng took the bowl nervously, drank the medicine in one gulp, the bitter taste spread in her mouth, and she couldn't help retching.
"Princess, eat some preserves." The green dress came with a plate of candied fruit.
Gu Qingcheng picked up a candied fruit and bit it gently, she looked at the empty medicine bowl, and suddenly had a plan, no matter what the outcome was, she was ready to give it a go, even if it completely angered Shen Tianao, as long as she and Du Juan could escape and ascend to heaven, she felt that it was very worthwhile.
