Chapter 157: Obey Your Word
Lu Xiaotian stayed in the palace for three days and three nights, during which he had at least 100 stitches with Gong Xiru, and finally on the third day, he walked out of the house sweating profusely and tired.
Gong Sheng's face turned pale, he hadn't entered the house for three days, and he didn't know what the situation was inside, so he waited for Lu Xiaotian to come out, and hurriedly held the latter's hand and asked, "What's wrong with our eldest young master?" The poison has been cured? β
Lu Xiaotian rubbed his bloodshot eyes, and said angrily: "Go in and see it yourself, let me rest first, and report the life-saving grace later." β
Gong Sheng held his breath and finally relaxed, happily asked people to prepare hot water, meals and guest rooms, let the maid take Lu Xiaotian to wash, and ate some porridge to pad his stomach, and then made a soft bed for him to rest.
Gong Xiru had just woken up, and she didn't seem to know what was going on, she only felt tired and weak, and she was in pain all over her body.
Gong Sheng told him the cause and effect of the matter, "Doctor Lu didn't close his eyes for three days, and he was resting in the guest room at this time. β
As soon as Gong Xiru got dressed and got up, he heard the news from the little maid outside the door that "Princess Haining has arrived".
Gong Sheng's face sank: "She still dares to come, young master, the little one will send her away." β
Gong Xiru waved his hand to stop: "No, I'll go out to see her." β
"Young master, you just woke up, this kind of woman, you can't guard against it, what else do you see her do." Gong Sheng disagreed.
Gong Xiru didn't explain, but there was a cold light in his eyes.
Gong Sheng had no choice but to help him go to the front hall.
Seeing Gong Xiru three days later, it was obvious that the latter's complexion made Princess Haining very satisfied.
"Not long ago, I heard that the little marquis was sick, and I was really worried. Is the little marquis okay? Princess Haining was dressed in goose yellow clothes, and her delicate face was worried.
Gong Xiru smiled at her for the first time: "Thank you princess for your concern, it's no big deal." It's just that the body is a little tired, so it's not in the way, just rest for a few days. β
It was the first time for Princess Haining to see Gong Xiru speak so softly to her, and she was a little unaccustomed to it for a while, but she soon eased up, and a sense of accomplishment arose, even if Gong Xiru was such a cold person. It can't withstand its own means.
She wanted to test a thing or two, Shi Shiran sat down, and said with a smile: "I heard that the eldest lady of the Ling family also came to visit. Presumably, the little marquis and Miss Ling have a lot of relationship, you two are world friends, and you have known each other since childhood, which makes me envious. β
Gong Xiru's expression was faint. Asked Gong Sheng: "Has anyone come to the Ling Mansion?" β
Gong Sheng nodded: "The Ling Mansion has sent someone here." However, young master, you have been in a coma, and the little one can only send them away first. β
Gong Xiru snorted, thought for a while, and said, "If there is nothing to do in the future, there is no need to let them come." The two of us are not world friends. β
Gong Sheng nodded respectfully and said yes.
Princess Haining became more and more satisfied, got up and walked to Gong Xiru's side, and stroked the sleeve of the latter's hand intentionally or unintentionally.
Gong Xiru's eyes changed slightly, as if he was smiling but not smiling. Distinctly unusual.
"Today is not the time, the little marquis is unwell. Why don't you take me to the streets another day? β
Gong Xiru arched his hand and smiled: "It's an honor." β
At this moment, Princess Haining has completely determined that Gong Xiru is now her person. In the future, as long as she asks, the latter will definitely agree to herself.
She made an appointment to come back to Gong Xiru in two days, and then left.
After waiting for Princess Haining to leave, Gong Xiru's expression instantly cooled.
Gong Sheng was puzzled: "Young Master, the little one doesn't understand, even if you pretend to cater to it, what's the benefit of this?" β
Gong Xiru's face was cold, and she said lightly: "She didn't just come to make peace, there have been a large number of foreign merchants in the capital, if you can find their gathering place and defeat her with one blow, forgive her for not being able to do anything harmful-besides, what did you call me just now?" β
Gong Sheng was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "The little one is talking about Master Hou, you heard it wrong." β
Gong Xiru snorted, "There is something to investigate over there in Wu County, and Wuying has been following me for the past few days." β
Gong Sheng blinked, and cautiously tentatively said, "Master Hou, you don't want the little one to go." β
"Anyone else besides you?" Gong Xiru looked at him like an idiot.
Gong Sheng's eyes were dull, and there was a little resentment, "Shao-Hou Ye, are you doing it on purpose, you were disgusted by Miss Ling for giving a gift, so you will blame the little one, and you want to take the small one out of anger." β
Gong Xiru looked at him squintedly, and after a long time, he stood out with one word: "Yes".
Gong Sheng immediately cried with a sad face: "Master Hou, it will take more than a month to go to Wu County, can you bear to let the little one leave you like this?"
Don't you know how to give gifts to please women, the little ones know, it's not the small ones that blow, there are small ones that give you ideas, not to mention one Miss Ling, it's ten, it's not a problem. β
Gong Xiru glanced at it again, looking quite suspicious, "Leave tomorrow, in addition, the few Yang Yue lone books in my room will be sent to the Ling Mansion tonight-"
After a pause, he said, "Send it over in person, don't be discovered." β
Gong Sheng knew that what he said was not to be detected by Princess Haining, so he couldn't help but pout: "Since Master Hou wants to send the little one away, why don't you let Wuying send it, if it is him, it will not be noticed." β
"There you go." Gong Xiru no longer gave him a chance to speak, and walked straight to the study.
Gong Sheng had a crying expression and followed silently, "The little one doesn't know where to put those lonely books, Master Hou, why don't you take them out for the little one." β
*
Ling Yi received the book from Gong Sheng at night, and seeing the latter's expression, he thought something had happened, and asked, "What's wrong?" Could it be that Hou Ye's illness is very tricky? β
Lu Xiaotian hadn't come back at this time, and she was still a little worried in her heart.
Gong Sheng sighed, and respectfully presented the book prepared by Gong Xiru, "Doctor Lu is still resting in the palace, he is really tired these days, as for the little one, Hou Ye asked the little one to go to Wu County to check the matter, and he will leave tomorrow." β
The weaving fan was still squirming and hiding behind the door, and when he heard this, he immediately jumped out and said, "Wu County, are you going to Wu County?" β
Gong Sheng became more and more depressed, and muttered, "So." If you offend anyone, you can't offend the master, the master wants to please the girl, and the little one is troublesome. In the end, it's too small to do something wrong, and it's obviously the master's own fault-"
Zhi Yu patted his head in astonishment: "You dare to say bad things about your master in front of our young lady, are you very bold." β
Gong Sheng smiled: "Hou Ye has always said that the little one is bold, but the little one is actually very timid, Miss, in front of the Hou Ye, say good things for the little one." Don't let the little ones go to Wu County. β
Ling Yi really couldn't help it, even the corners of her eyes were smiling, she seemed to understand. Why does Gong Xiru often have a cold face.
"Since he asked you to go, he is sure that the affairs of Wu County are not idle things, and he just trusts you."
Gong Sheng sighed, "That's what the eldest lady said. The little ones know it too. It's justβ" He looked at the fan with reluctance in his eyes.
The fan coughed lightly twice and turned his head away.
Ling Yi saw the truth, it seemed that the two of them, Weaving Fan and Gong Sheng, had no less contact in private, so he deliberately teased: "If you don't want to go alone, why don't you call someone else." β
Gong Sheng's eyes lit up, "Really? Anyone can? β
"Anyone can do anything. You're thinking too much. Lu Xiaotian didn't know when he had already walked into the house, and said with some kind of hatred.
Ling Yi pursed her lips and smiled. Pretending not to know, drinking tea without saying a word.
Gong Sheng was immediately displeased: "Why can't it, the eldest lady said that she can bring it, why not?" I don't listen to you. β
"Anyway, it just doesn't work." Lu Xiaotian counted with his fingers in his heart, he went out so many times, and he didn't see Ling Yi ask him to bring Zhiyu or something.
Ling Yi is very happy to see these quarrels, she thinks that life should be like this, you quarrel with me over trivial things, and it is also funny.
Lu Xiaotian said to Ling Yi again: "Miss, you can't be so partial, you can't treat him special because he is the Hou Ye's person." β
Gong Sheng immediately stopped talking, jumped up and said, "Why can't it work, you are jealous, obviously jealous." β
Lu Xiaotian raised his eyebrows, extremely provocative.
"Okay, don't argue either." Ling Yi had seen enough of the excitement and stopped him.
Gong Sheng sighed again, "Master Hou asked the little one to bring a message to the eldest lady, 'What you see with your eyes may not be true', and please relax the young lady." β
Ling Yi thought for a moment and nodded.
"The small ones shouldn't stay longer, so I'm leaving."
Ling Yi kindly asked the weaving fan to send him.
*
Two days later, Princess Haining, dressed in fancy clothes, appeared in the palace as scheduled.
Gong Xiru is still dressed in a black suit, looking cold and unapproachable.
"I called one more person, Master Hou doesn't mind." Princess Haining asked with a smile.
Gong Xi Ru smiled slightly and said that he didn't care.
"She's waiting for us at Lang Tingxuan." Princess Haining abandoned the sedan chair and walked side by side with Gong Xiru.
The two came to Lang Tingxuan, and Xiao Er enthusiastically took the two to the private room on the second floor, and there was already one person sitting in the room.
"Miss Ling came early, and there was a delay on the way, so I've been waiting for a long time."
Ling Yi got up and shook his head with a smile: "I didn't wait long. β
Princess Haining pulled Gong Xiru's sleeve and let him sit next to her.
Taking advantage of Xiao Er's time to serve food, Princess Haining said with a smile: "I said that I was shopping with you today, but I happened to meet Master Hou, so I came together, Miss Ling doesn't mind." β
Ling Yi smiled gently, "It's good if the princess likes it, how can I mind." β
The two began to talk about where the clothes were beautiful and the jewelry was beautiful on the street, and Gong Xiru was silent on the side, like an outsider.
"Master Hou, I want to eat Sixi duck." Princess Haining looked at Gong Xiru with big watery eyes.
Gong Xiru immediately served her vegetables, without even looking at Ling Yi.
Princess Haining looked at Ling Yi with a smile: "Master Hou is a considerate person. β
Ling Yixiao's sincerity, but no matter how deep he delved, it was like watching a child play a prank, "A lovely person like a princess, no matter how cold a man is, he will become a finger twister." β
Princess Haining's smile froze, and she seemed to be very dissatisfied with Ling Yi's performance, if she followed her guess, seeing Gong Xiru being attentive to herself, the latter would be uncomfortable in her heart, but this kind of Ling Yi seemed to be too calm.
But how did she know how open-minded this woman who was only fourteen years old. This kind of childish trick is harmless at all. (To be continued......)
