The sky gradually became dark, and Gu Qingcheng helped the cuckoo to walk out of the woods, because the cuckoo was seriously injured, and they did not walk fast. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Gu Tingcheng turned back as she walked forward, she didn't see anyone chasing after her, although she felt a little strange, but she couldn't care so much at this time, so they had already escaped from the palace.

When the two of them walked to the door of Feng Yazhai, it was already dark, for the sake of prudence, Gu Qingcheng cautiously entered first, and saw that there was nothing unusual in the room, so she beckoned Du Juan to enter the house.

Feng Yazhai was much quieter than before, Gu Tingcheng always felt that the atmosphere was a little strange, and he saw the shopkeeper Du standing alone by the candle flame, and the candlelight reflected on his face looked extremely thin.

"Princess, Miss Du." Shopkeeper Du put down the book in his hand and walked towards them, and when he saw them enter the house, he also deliberately looked outside the house to make sure that no one was following him, and then closed the door.

"Cuckoo, she's hurt." Gu Tingcheng helped the cuckoo to walk towards the inner room.

Shopkeeper Du saw that Du Juan's face was very pale and his body was stained with blood, he immediately prepared hot water and healing medicine, and he couldn't help asking: "Du Juan, your injury is also caused by the people of Anqing Palace." ”

"Yes." Du Juan nodded, and said with a solemn face, "The **** was going to go out of the mansion to find out the news, but when I was halfway there, I was arrested by the people of the Anqing Palace, and they tied me to the pillar without saying anything, and punished me with a whip every late at night." ”

When Gu Qingcheng heard her say this, she remembered the terrible screams she heard at night, that was what Shen Tianao asked people to whip the cuckoo and deliberately let her hear it, thinking about this, she felt that Shen Tianao's actions were outrageous, but he was her nominal husband, but he forced her to be like this.

She applied medicinal powder to the cuckoo, and the wounds on it were shocking to see, the originally smooth back was covered with horizontal and vertical whiplashes, those wounds were as ugly as earthworms, even if they scarred in the future, such injuries would be difficult to recover from as before, she sighed secretly, and cleaned the wounds for the cuckoo with the lightest force.

The cuckoo clung to the mattress under her, and the medicine powder was sprinkled on the wound when it was the most painful, in order not to embarrass Gu Qingcheng, she gritted her teeth and said nothing.

"Cuckoo, don't bear it, if you really hurt, just scream." Gu Qingcheng persuaded on the side.

The cuckoo said with a shudder: "No, it's okay, I can bear it." ”

When she finished applying the medicine to the cuckoo, the shopkeeper Du brought dinner and said, "Princess, Miss Du, come out for dinner." ”

Gu Tingcheng helped Du Juan to get off the bed, and Du Juan said embarrassedly: "Princess, your noble body, I really can't help you so much." ”

Gu Tingcheng has the thinking of modern people in her heart, how can there be such a respectful and inferior thought of the ancients, she shook her head and said with a smile: "Du Juan, you and I are sisters, since you entered the Regent's Mansion, you have been taking care of me, and then you came to this Puyang City to accompany me thousands of miles away, it would be too obvious for you to say these words again." ”

Du Juan's face softened, gobbling up the meal sent by the Du shopkeeper, Gu Qingcheng felt very distressed when she saw her appearance, she must not have eaten much in the past few days, those people had no intention of letting Du Juan live, they just wanted to use her to torture her.

"You eat more." Gu Qingcheng sent his own food to the cuckoo bowl.

The master and servant ate and drank enough, and changed into clean clothes, Gu Tingcheng felt a little relaxed, she saw that Feng Yazhai did not see Mu Yun and Jiang Chuan, so she asked the shopkeeper Du: "Have Mr. Mu and Jiang Chuan left Puyang City." ”

When this matter was mentioned, it was like a needle pricked in the heart of the shopkeeper Du, and he said slowly: "That day, Mr. Mu went to the military camp to burn grain and grass, but there was an accident, they fell into the enemy's scheme and were trapped in the army, as a result, only a few people escaped, and most of them died here. ”

Shopkeeper Du's voice became heavier and heavier, and Gu Qingcheng was also congested for a while, she covered her chest and whispered: "I was trapped in the palace, completely lost contact with the outside world, and I didn't even know that something like this happened. With pain on her face, she raised her head and said slowly, "There is one more thing I want to tell you, King Anqing is just pretending to be stupid, not only is he not stupid, but he arranged all this. ”

"Hey." Shopkeeper Du sighed, revealing a face full of grief, "It's a pity that King Anqing hid too deeply, and he didn't find his abnormality for so long, his move is really good, and he deliberately pretended to be crazy and stupid, just hoping to make the regent not suspect him like other vassal kings, and relax his guard against him." ”

Gu Qingcheng smiled bitterly, buried his head and said: "It's a pity, I only know his true face now, if I could have seen his clues earlier and passed on the news earlier, maybe the latter things would not have happened." ”

"Princess, you don't have to blame yourself like this, since King Anqing has been pretending to be crazy and stupid for so long, he naturally won't let you see his flaws easily." Du Juan comforted on the side, she tightened her expression and said, "The top priority is still the matter of us leaving Puyang City, this place has now become a place of right and wrong, and we really can't stay for a long time, so it's better for us to leave early." ”

Gu Tingcheng raised his head, looked at the shopkeeper Du and said, "You can also leave with us, King Anqing will have a big move sooner or later, I'm afraid it will implicate you." ”

Shopkeeper Du thought for a moment and replied: "What the princess said is very true, I will arrange to leave early tomorrow morning, except for a few people who are deeply hidden, I will take the rest with me." ”

Gu Qingcheng raised his head and asked, "Shopkeeper Du, do you know the news of Mr. Mu and Jiang Chuan, whether they escaped from the barracks." ”

The shopkeeper Du seemed to be unable to bear to mention the events of the day, and he said with difficulty: "Mr. Mu doesn't know where to go, but Jiang Chuan and the others are really under the sword of the soldiers, and they are hung on the city tower by the head of the owl to show the public, I can only watch, and I can't help him collect the body." ”

Hearing this, Gu Tingcheng's face turned pale, she couldn't believe what Shopkeeper Du said, and said intermittently: "Brother Jiang died like this, how could he die, he is a famous Jiang Yang thief, how could something happen if he is so agile?" ”

Hearing this self-questioning and self-answering, the hearts of the people present were sour, and the cuckoo raised his hand and gently stroked Gu Chengcheng's back: "Princess, don't be too sad, the deceased has passed away, what we have to do now is to escape from Puyang City, and when we are out of the sight of King Anqing, we will be safe when we return to Liangdu." ”

A few tears came from the corner of Gu Qingcheng's eyes, she opened her palm, and let the tears drip in the palm of her hand, these **** have always pretended to be herself, pretending not to know anything by Shen Tianao's side, until this moment, she dared to show her truest self. But what will tomorrow be like? She just wanted to get out of Puyang City as soon as possible. (To be continued.) )
