Gu Qingwan and Xu Guobu took the matter of adding jade lotus nectar to the old lady's medicine, and when she saw her solemn response, she put down the matter and said, "In this way, I will see my grandmother again in a while, so I will say goodbye and leave." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Xu Guogong couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, his expression was slightly panicked, and he said, "Leave? Where is the late sister going, yes, is the late sister going back to the prince's mansion? ”
He thought that Gu Qingwan must have left Prince Li's Mansion because of his mother's affairs, and Yi Rong came to Guogong Mansion. But in an instant, he felt that something was wrong, if Gu Qingwan was like this, it would be impossible for him to appear as a medicine boy of the Great Yan Kingdom.
He looked puzzled, Gu Qingwan showed his identity, but he didn't hide what Xu Guogong meant, and said: "I left Prince Li's mansion a long time ago, and I can't make a side room for King Yan Guang for a lifetime." ”
Xu Guogong was stunned, and the shame on his face was even greater.
Indeed, if it weren't for Xiao's Gu, if it weren't for his partiality and belief, Gu Qingwan would not have been left behind, even if she retired from Lou Minning, she couldn't be helpless and was accepted as a concubine by Qin Yuqiang.
He felt more and more ashamed in his heart, and he didn't know what to say for a while, thinking that he must try his best to make up for it in the future.
"The younger sister can do whatever she wants, since the younger sister has left the palace of Prince Li, why leave the Guogong Mansion again, the Guogong Mansion is also the home of the late sister, the younger sister can rest assured, now your grandmother is all right, and your uncle is also in the capital all the year round, and she will not let the younger sister be wronged again......"
Xu Guogong said, thinking of his partiality to listen to and believe, his old face turned red again for a while, and his voice was broken.
Gu Qingwan didn't see his embarrassment and crampedness, only shook his head, and said: "King Yan Guang is still looking for me, I stay in the capital for a day, I need to avoid him for a day, I can't keep hiding my head and tail like this." What's more, I also want to see the world outside. ”
When Xu Guogong heard this, he wanted to say that Gu Qingwan only had to live in the Guogong Mansion, even if Qin Yu came to ask for someone, as long as Gu Qingwan was unwilling, he would definitely protect Gu Qingwan to the death this time.
But when I thought about it, Gu Qingwan was now a serious concubine of the royal family, and Qin Yu came to ask for someone, even if he fought to the death, he didn't pay attention to stopping others, and suddenly Xu Guogong sighed a little dejectedly.
Gu Qing saw this later, but said solemnly: "I have already made up my mind to leave, and I also ask my uncle to keep my whereabouts for me, except for my uncle and grandmother, don't let anyone know about this." ”
Xu Guogong didn't respond to her immediately, he hesitated a little, and said: "Late sister, since you are already the side concubine of King Yan Guang, why do you have to leave, where are you going to be from a girl's family, and how can you gain a foothold?" ”
Xu Guogong is a man in the end, he can't understand Gu Qingwan's behavior now, Gu Qingwan stayed in Xu Guogong's mansion and refused to return the prince's mansion, Xu Guogong can still support it. But Gu Qingwan is a woman, and she wants to leave Beijing, which has the intention of making a big move, and Xu Guogong is a little disappropriated.
Gu Qingwan's eyes were slightly gloomy, and she said: "Uncle, my aunt has become a duchess of the country, and I still have five children under my knees, but I haven't been able to get happiness, how does my uncle think that I can live well if I am a side concubine?" ”
Her words suddenly made Xu Guogong's face slightly pale, speechless, and silent.
Gu Qingwan said again: "Uncle Dang also heard about it, I will build it, Uncle also saw it this time, I can also heal and disguise, I Gu Qingwan can support myself, why should I be wronged to nest in Prince Li's Mansion as a side room?" Isn't it better for me to build my own kingdom with my own hands, to be the master of my own house, and to do whatever I want? ”
Xu Guogong had never heard of such a rebellious thing, it was too shocking, but he felt strangely that what Gu Qingwan said seemed to make sense, and he was still in shock, Gu Qingwan had already stood up and said solemnly: "Uncle has done something wrong once, I hope that this time my uncle will not make a mistake and reveal my whereabouts again and again, otherwise, I really can't forgive my uncle." ”
Gu Qingwan's words were obviously more effective than the previous reasoning, Xu Guogong hurriedly waved his hand and got up, and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, uncle won't tell anyone." ”
Gu Qingwan relieved his heart and said, "In this way, I went to see my grandmother and went back to Honglu Temple." ”
Xu Guogong asked again why Gu Qingwan became a medicine boy in the mission, but he didn't guess that Gu Xianzhen was Shen Shenlai, after all, Shen Shenzhen was a person, famous, not an idle person, how could he be replaced by someone else? Even if you hear such a thing, you can't believe it, and it's impossible to guess like that.
Gu Qingwan didn't know what the eldest brother's plans and arrangements were, so she didn't tell Xu Guogong about Gu Xianzhen, but just vaguely revealed the matter to Xu Guogong, went to Songhe Hall, and met her grandmother again.
This time, there was finally no need to be sneaky, Gu Qing entered the house late, and went straight to his grandmother's bed.
Old Madam Xu was already looking forward to it, seeing her coming, there was a bright light and smile in her eyes, Gu Qing sat on the edge of the bed before the night, held the old lady's hand, and said, "Grandmother is fine, it's all over." ”
She stroked the old lady's forehead with her other free hand, as her grandmother had comforted her when she was a child, and combed it back into her gray hair.
Old Madam Xu's eyes immediately moistened, and she said in a vague voice: "Grandmother asked my sister to ...... Accept...... Wronged. ”
Gu Qingwan knew that what her grandmother was talking about was being driven away before, and that the Guogong Mansion did not severely punish the Xiao family.
In fact, Xiao's confinement at home is also a kind of torture for Xiao's, and the children are obviously in front of him, but they are close to the end of the world and will never be seen. believes that this kind of torture will make her fall into the abyss of remorse, and she will be restless day and night.
Although Gu Qingwan couldn't forgive the Xiao family, she wouldn't force Mrs. Xu to punish the Xiao family severely, that would just embarrass her grandmother. My grandmother is the highest decision-maker of the Guogong Mansion, and she thinks about the Guogong Mansion and would rather wronged herself, which is also expected by Gu Qingwan.
After all, severely punishing the Xiao family is really harmful to the Guogong Mansion.
Gu Qingwan shook her head with a smile, and said softly: "Then grandmother will take medicine well, get better quickly, love me more in the future, compensate me, and my sister will be waiting." ”
Old Madam Xu said yes again and again, wanting to raise her hand to touch Gu Qingwan's face, but because she had no strength, she only moved her fingers. Gu Qingwan saw it, took the initiative to pick up Mrs. Xu's other hand, held her thin hands to her face, and leaned on to rub it a few times.
Old Madam Xu laughed, Gu Qingwan shook her hand tightly, and said, "Grandmother obediently takes medicine, and she will get better soon, but Sister Grandma can't accompany her grandmother anymore to recuperate." I'm going to leave later, my grandmother shouldn't worry about me and my brother, we're all fine. ”
As she spoke, she solemnly shook Mrs. Xu's hand, her expression was happy, her eyes were soothing, and she did not force a smile.
Although Mrs. Xu had countless things to say to Gu Qingwan, she had no strength for a long time, and she just held on to it, so she didn't fall asleep. When she heard that Gu Qingwan was leaving, she only thought that Gu Qingwan was going back to Prince Li's mansion, so she only said that she would be long, and moved her mouth slightly at Gu Qingwan and said hello.
Gu Qingwan covered her with a quilt and said, "Then grandmother close her eyes and rest, I'll wait for my grandmother to fall asleep before leaving." ”
In the past, it was the old lady who coaxed her granddaughter, but now it seems to be the other way around, and the old lady inevitably flashed some sighs in her eyes and closed her eyes.
The old man quickly fell asleep, and Gu Qingwan sat in front of the bed for a while before getting up to say goodbye.
She returned to Honglu Temple and briefly talked to Gu Xianzhen about the Xiaguo Mansion, then returned to her residence, washed off her face, and immediately felt a lot refreshed.
Letting go of a matter of heart, it was day and night, Gu Qing went to bed early, but in the middle of the night, for some reason, a clever woke up.
She woke up with a keen perception, so as soon as she woke up, she felt that something was not quite right in the house, and she felt like she was being stared at.
Sure enough, there was someone in the house!
A tall and long, but unusually silent figure stood not far from the curtain, and the gaze that forced it to look at was like substance, very familiar.
Gu Qingwan's face turned pale suddenly, she sat up all of a sudden, hugged her arms, instinctively moved into the bed, and said in a trembling voice: "Qin Yu? ”
Outside, Lou Minning was about to speak out, lest Gu Qingwan be scared, and he didn't want the words to still be in his throat, so he heard Gu Qingwan ask, his body stiffened slightly, and he was silent for a while.
Gu Qing shrank at the foot of the bed, and her heart jumped up in a panic. The people outside didn't speak, and they didn't make any other moves, so it couldn't be assassins and the like, so it should be Qin Yu.
What does he want? How did he find her?
After Gu Qingwan's panic, she slowly calmed down, she looked at the shadow, and said again: "You go, I won't go back with you." ”
Lou Minning was silent again, and then took a step forward and said, "Wanwan, it's me." ”
Behind the curtain, Gu Qingwan was stunned, and then leaned on the bed with a tense back, and said, "Lou Shizi? ”
Hearing Gu Qingwan call out such an unfamiliar and polite title, Lou Minning's heart shrank slightly, but he smiled and said, "It's me." ”
Gu Qingwan never thought that Lou Minning would find out her identity, and she was stunned again, so she couldn't help but speak: "Dare to ask how Lou Shizi knew that I was here?" In addition to this, what else does Lou Shizi know? ”
Lou Minning is such a keen person, Gu Qingwan asked like this, and he instantly heard the worry, vigilance and vigilance hidden behind her question.
He knew what Gu Qingwan wanted to ask, it was nothing more than whether he already knew that Gu Xianzhen had returned to the capital and was now staying in this Honglu Temple as Shen Shen.
Gu Qingwan was afraid that he would be unfavorable to Gu Xianzhen.
In the past, when she was pleased with him, she was full of dependence and trust, and she didn't know when it had become alienated and guarded now.
On the contrary, for Qin Yu, although she fled, although she refused to follow Qin Yu back, she was completely unguarded. Thinking that Gu Qingwan misunderstood that he was Qin Yushi, he just let him leave, and he didn't ask much about his reassuring posture, at this moment, Lou Minning had mixed feelings in his heart.
He knew more about Gu Qingwan than she knew about herself, just this kung fu, Lou Minning already knew in her heart that now Gu Qingwan, she has Qin Yu in her heart, but she has no him.
This realization made him stiff, and when he heard Gu Qingwan's muttering in the afternoon, and learned that she had left Qin Yu, the fiery emotions that churned like a magma eruption, as well as those impulsive and long-buried thoughts, were immediately suppressed by a frustration and hopelessness that was colder than an iceberg.
There were some things he thought, he didn't need to say again.
said that, it would only push her farther step by step and make the two more awkward.
Lou Minning froze for a moment, took a deep breath, and then stepped forward with a smile, and said: "I also went to the Xuguo Mansion today, because I noticed that something was wrong, and I was afraid that something would happen to the old lady, so I sneaked into the Songhe Hall, and just happened to see Wanwan coming out of the house, and I heard everything you said to yourself." Only then did I know that you had left Prince Li's mansion. ”
Gu Qingwan felt that talking to Lou Minning in the darkness like this made it even more embarrassing, so she found a coat and hurriedly put it on, and opened the bed curtain.
Looking at each other, she smiled, pointed to the table of the Eight Immortals and said, "Lou Shizi, sit down and talk, there is water on the table, redeem me for my disheveled clothes, and I won't pour tea for you." ”
Lou Minning turned to the table as she wished, poured a glass of water, but turned around first and handed it to Gu Qingwan.
Gu Qingwan was slightly stunned, then he hurriedly stretched out his hand to take it, and was just about to say thank you, when he heard Lou Minning say above his head: "How many months?" ”
Gu Qingwan was stunned for a moment, followed his gaze, and saw that because he raised his hand to take the tea, his shirt slipped away a little, revealing the lower abdomen wearing a white silk middle coat, which was already slightly bulging.
Gu Qingwan instinctively raised her hand and stroked her lower abdomen, and said with a smile: "It's been four months." ”
With a gentle smile on her face, her eyes were soft, and the movement of lowering her head and stroking her lower abdomen, she could see that she loved this child very much, and it was the child that she and Qin Yu shared.
Lou Minning seemed to be infected, but also smiled, nodded and said, "It's good." ”
After he finished speaking, he retreated to the Eight Immortals table, sat down in his robe, looked at Gu Qingwan and said, "Don't worry, I won't reveal your whereabouts." I'm visiting late at night today just to see you and ask if you can help with anything. Although I don't treat Brother Ning as my brother now, Brother Ning still thinks of me as my sister in my heart. I'm not going to do anything that hurts you or your family. ”
His eyes were gentle, with a smile like a spring breeze on his clear face, and a little deep tolerance in his eyes, the sincerity he showed made Gu Qingwan blush slightly, and he bit his lower lip slightly before half a sound, and said, "Thank you, Brother Ning, I ......"
Lou Minning saw that she was embarrassed, shook her head and smiled, and said: "I used to do something wrong the night before, and I loved to rub something when I was nervous, but now I am about to become a mother, but it is still like this, but it has not changed at all." ”
Listening to his words, Gu Qingwan found that she was desperately rubbing the embosses on the wall of the teacup with her thumb and fingertips, her face became redder, and she saw Lou Minning's smile burning, as if she had melted the moonlight in the room, but her mood improved, and the whole person relaxed, and said: "Small actions, they are made by people when they are not paying attention, and even if this is the case, I am afraid that I will still be like this when I am a grandmother." is like Brother Ning, who likes to raise his right side of the brow when he teased people since he was a child, but isn't it still like this now? Look, you're still picking! ”
Lou Minning raised his hand and touched his right eyebrow, and said with a smile: "It turns out that I still have such a problem." ”
Gu Qingwan nodded again and again, and after such a joke, the atmosphere became harmonious, and Lou Minning said, "It's going to follow the mission to Yan Country in a while?" ”
Gu Qingwan took a sip of tea, and then responded with a smile: "Well, I think it's good to be able to go out for a walk, and I'm looking forward to it." ”
Lou Minning looked at her abdomen, and said: "The road to Yan Country is far away, and it is very hard, Su Zili's plan to return to the country this time is very big, and he must be starry day and night, trekking and hurrying, you are like this...... What's more, Wanwan really wants to let the child and his father be separated from each other from now on? ”
Gu Qingwan didn't expect Lou Minning to persuade her, she was slightly stunned and said, "Brother Ning said this, do you want me to return to Prince Li's mansion?" ”
Lou Minning shook his head and said, "Naturally not, Brother Ning understands Wanwan's thoughts." Brother Ning just wants to tell you that you have to put your own body first in everything, and it doesn't necessarily have to be good to rush to Dayan. If there is a need, Brother Ning is willing to help. ”
Gu Qingwan laughed when she heard this, nodded her head, and said, "Okay, I know, if there is a need, someone will definitely tell you." ”
Lou Minning stood up, looked at Gu Qingwan silently, and said, "I will try my best to facilitate Su Zili's return to the country, don't worry." ”
Gu Qingwan knew that Su Zili had been in the Qin State for many years, and it was not easy to leave now, although Gu Xianzhen brought the envoys to mediate, things might not be smooth, and now Lou Minning is willing to help, which is naturally the best.
After only hesitating, she said, "Won't this make you embarrassed?" ”
After all, Emperor Qin Ying is the grandson of the Duke of Zhenguo, if Emperor Qin Ying doesn't want Su Zili to leave, Lou Minning will not be able to go against the Duke of Zhenguo and Emperor Qin Ying.
Lou Minning only smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have thoughts in my heart, not because of your concerns." You are also a double body now, rest, Brother Ning will leave. If you need it, you know where to take it. ”
Seeing Gu Qingwan nodding, Lou Minning turned around and walked lightly through the window.
