Chapter 48: This Home Can't Hold Me Anymore
Shen Bai smiled stupidly, Gu Hengzhou didn't want to answer her question, he was about to leave when the medicine was delivered, how could Shen Bai just let him go, frowned, and exclaimed: "Oops, my hands hurt so much!" ”
Shouting in his mouth, Shen Bai flexibly bypassed Gu Hengzhou and used his body to block the window tightly.
Gu Hengzhou glanced at her indifferently, indifferent, Shen Bai's brows furrowed even tighter, and he forced out two tears: "Brother Gu, you said that the weather is so hot now, will the wound be inflamed and rotten if it is covered like this, I heard that a few years ago, someone was injured in the arm, and then his whole body was rotten, what if I did that?" ”
Shen Bai casually made it up and looked at Gu Hengzhou with blank eyes.
Shen Bai's eyes are moist, like a misty tea mountain after the rain during the Qingming Dynasty, full of water vapor, but fresh and pleasant.
Gu Hengzhou knew that this person was deliberately making an excuse to keep him, he could actually stun Shen Bai and leave, but being looked at by such a pair of eyes, Gu Hengzhou didn't do this, just said coldly: "The doctor of the Tai Hospital is not a charlatan, and he won't even be able to heal such a little injury." ”
Shen Bai raised his left hand, which could barely move, and said seriously: "But Brother Gu, the wound on my hand is so itchy, I feel like there are bugs biting the wound, will there be maggots?" ”
When he said this, Shen Bai was disgusted by himself, and he turned his head and retched.
Gu Hengzhou walked up to Shen Bai, helped her roll up her sleeves, and untied the gauze little by little.
The wound on the left arm was a little deep, five or six inches long, the wound was carefully cleaned, sprinkled with a medicine powder to stop bleeding and reduce inflammation, the powder had been soaked in blood, and the last layer of gauze was stuck with blood.
Afraid that Shen Bai would cry out in pain, Gu Hengzhou raised his head and wanted her to endure it, but inadvertently bumped into a pair of eyes that were as curved as crescents.
Shen Bai smiled and looked at him stupidly, as if he was not helping her check the wound, but sending it to the door for her to take advantage of.
The moonlight was as soft as a veil, Gu Hengzhou lowered his eyes and whispered, "Don't shout, I'm going to remove the gauze." ”
After speaking, she tore the gauze hard, and the blood that had been stopped gushed out again, Shen Bai gritted his teeth and snorted lowly, his breathing became short, Gu Hengzhou lifted his eyes to look at her, her brows were twisted into hemp rope with pain, she lost her smile, and became the lawless little overlord of Tai Academy again.
Gu Hengzhou took a handkerchief from the side to help her wipe off the blood from the wound, and sprinkled the bottle of medicine he brought on the wound.
This medicine was given to the Guogong Mansion by His Majesty, it has the best effect of stopping bleeding and reducing inflammation, and it also has the effect of removing scars, Gu Tingge never uses these, for so many years, the entire Guogong Mansion has only saved ten bottles, and this time Zhou Jue and Shen Bai got one bottle alone.
After all, it is a good medicine given by the emperor, as soon as the powder is sprinkled, Shen Bai feels that the continuous pain is replaced by a pleasant coolness, and there is a faint fragrance, and he can't help but say: "Brother Gu, this medicine is so fragrant." ”
Gu Hengzhou didn't say anything, he wrapped the gauze again, and when he finally tied the knot, his movements were light, and he didn't strangle Shen Bai anymore.
Shen Bai took an inch, and sent his right arm to Gu Hengzhou's eyes: "Brother Gu, this arm also hurts." ”
Gu Hengzhou lifted his eyes and looked at her heavily, and Shen Bai hurriedly changed his words: "I suddenly feel less pain, Brother Gu, don't be in a hurry to leave, talk to me for a while." ”
Gu Hengzhou put the medicine on the table, lifted his eyes and looked at Shen Bai indifferently: "Do you want me to sleep on the bed by yourself or do you want me to knock you out?" ”
"I can do it myself!"
Shen Bai nodded again and again, and jumped back to the bed like a rabbit to lie down.
There was a soft snap from the window, Gu Hengzhou left, Shen Bai lay on the bed for a while, and looked at the window with his neck stiffened, there was no Gu Hengzhou's figure there, only a piece of soft moonlight remained.
Shen Bai shouted tentatively: "Brother Gu, are you really leaving?" ”
It was quiet all around, and no one answered her.
Shen Bai licked his lips, and the corners of his lips rose again.
She really didn't like the wrong person.
I don't know if it's the effect of the medicine to help sleep, Shen Bai slept directly until three o'clock in the morning, if it wasn't for the hunger that was too much, she felt that she might sleep directly until the afternoon.
Both hands hurt so much that he couldn't use his strength, Shen Bai lay on the bed and yelled: "Where have all the people gone, what time is it, why don't you come in and wait for the master to wash and change clothes?" ”
After yelling, the door was knocked three times, and the person outside the door asked softly, "Young master, are you going to wash and change clothes?" ”
"I'm going to eat, I'm going to starve to death."
Shen Bai said lazily, the door was pushed open, and in addition to the little maid who served on weekdays, there was also a white young man wearing the clothes of the Taifu Mansion, the young man looked no more than thirteen or fourteen, his body was much stronger than Shen Bai's, and his face looked loyal and reliable.
Shen Bai has not been very close to people since she was a child, and Shen Ruxiu assigned her a little maid, but the little guy was only guarding the courtyard, and she was not allowed to enter her room without Shen Bai's permission.
This kid is a raw face, how dare he come in directly?
Shen Bai sat up suddenly, his little face was covered with frost: "Who asked you to bring him in?" ”
The young man was not frightened, calmly put the water away, then lifted the hem of his clothes, and knelt down in front of Shen Bai respectfully, and the little guy next to him immediately said: "Back to Young Master Shen, this person's name is Li Shan, he was born a mute, his family originally wanted to send him into the palace to serve, but the internal affairs supervisor refused to accept him after the inspection, his life was invalid, and Lord Taifu saw that he was pitiful, so he bought him back and let him serve the young master in the future." ”
A mute who was deprived of his life and was born unable to speak, it was like he was born specifically to serve Shen Bai.
How could there be such a coincidental good thing in the world?
Shen Bai looked suspicious, his eyes were like knives, sweeping inch by inch from Li Shan's body, with coercion and scrutiny, Li Shan'an knelt there quietly, motionless, but the little guy who served on weekdays was secretly frightened: The young master entered the captain's camp, how could his eyes look sharper than the old man and make people dare not look directly?
After looking at it for a while and not seeing anything abnormal, Shen Bai said in a deep voice: "Since it was sent by my father, then stay first, you retreat." ”
The little guy stepped back, Shen Bai got out of bed and was about to put on his shoes, Li Shan knelt forward directly, holding a shoe in both hands to help Shen Bai put it on.
This action is very familiar to Shen Bai, a few years after the new emperor succeeded to the throne, he directly summoned her to the dormitory several times, and the eunuchs in the palace waited for him to change his clothes in this way.
This person named Li Shan would know these things if he hadn't entered the palace?
Without thinking about it, Shen Bai directly kicked Li Shan in the chest and asked in a cold voice: "Who are you, who sent you here?" ”
Li Shan got up and knelt down, trying to open his mouth.
The mouth was empty, Li Shan's tongue was cut directly, and the wound looked a little old, and it should have been cut for several years.
Shen Bai frowned, Li Shan stood up again, untied his pants and took off his pants, he was indeed cleaned.
After checking his body, Li Shan put on his pants and knelt down again, made a movement to wipe his neck, and then kowtowed to Shen Bai, begging Shen Bai to accept him, if Shen Bai drove him away, he was afraid that waiting for him would only be a dead end.
Shen Bai pursed his lips, and the hand on his knee clenched into a fist.
Since someone sent Li Shan to her, it means that there are still people in the palace who know that she is actually a woman.
Who is that person? Is it Your Majesty or one of the princes? What do they want to do?
Shen Bai frowned and repeatedly recalled the memories of the previous life, she had not seen Li Shan in the previous life, after the death of His Majesty today, the new emperor succeeded to the throne, although there was a palace change, but it was quickly suppressed until she died, she also thought that her father was the only one in this world who knew that she was a woman.
If there really is one person who knows that she is a woman, why hasn't that person been exposed to her?
Shen Bai couldn't figure out how to think about it, Li Shan knelt for a while, and then cautiously stepped forward and tentatively helped Shen Bai put on his shoes.
Shen Bai retracted his feet in fright and said lightly: "I'll wear it myself, you can help me twist the handkerchief and wash my face." ”
Li Shan is very obedient, he will do whatever Shen Bai asks him to do, and he will not do what he is not asked to do.
After eating and drinking medicine, Shen Bai walked out of the courtyard slowly, and when he walked to the corridor, he saw the maid in Sun's yard sending a doctor out, his heart moved slightly, and Shen Bai turned his steps and went to Sun's courtyard.
Sun's courtyard is on the east side, next to Shen Ruxiu's main courtyard, in the past fourteen years, Shen Bai has stepped into here dozens of fingers can be counted, Shen Bai just walked outside the courtyard and heard Sun and the yard maid talking.
The maid's tone was very happy: "If the master comes back from the next court in a while, he will know that the lady is happy, he will be very happy, the Taifu Mansion has not had a happy event for a long time, and it will be lively now." ”
Sun was also happy, but he still pretended to be reserved and disgusted: "What's so joyful about this, I'm almost thirty years old, and I still have children at this age, I'm afraid I will be laughed at by the people in Beijing." ”
The maid was not convinced: "What's the joke about this?" The old man should be strong and strong, that is the ability that many people can't envy, and the lady is pregnant, and she will be able to raise her head in front of the young master in the future, if she gets a son in one fell swoop, the young master will have to change his mouth to call Mrs. a mother, and he will not dare to be disrespectful to his wife. ”
These words won Sun's heart, and Sun scolded with a smile: "Little hoof, just say it, let the master hear it, you will tear your mouth apart!" ”
This maid is used to pleasing Sun's family, laughing with Sun's family, and after a while, she said: "Madam, the young master doesn't wait to see you on weekdays, if you know that you are pregnant, I am afraid that my heart will be unhappy, for the sake of the fetus in the womb, Mrs. might as well ask the master to buy a Zhuangzi outside, and come back when the child is born safely." ”
This is said like Shen Bai is unhappy and will kill the child in Sun's belly.
Shen Bai hooked his lips to show sarcasm, didn't go in to argue with the two, turned around and took Li Shan out of the Taifu Mansion directly.
The maid said something very right, Sun is pregnant, Shen Bai will not be happy in his heart, living under the same roof, looking up and not looking down, no one is comfortable, so only one of them can be left.
Out of Taifu's Mansion, Shen Bai first went to the best restaurant in the city and ordered a table of delicious food, sat in the private room on the second floor, and listened to the storyteller in the lobby leisurely.
Zhou Deshan was injured, and the news that Gu Hengzhou, the prince of Zhenguo, killed dozens of thieves with one enemy and ten has spread all over the streets and alleys of Hanjing.
After the story was told, the hall applauded, Shen Bai asked Li Shan to take a certain amount of silver downstairs to give Mr. reward, and after a while, Mr. Storyteller followed Li Shan upstairs and entered the private room. ”
Shen Bai gave Li Shan a look, Li Shan immediately stepped forward to help the old gentleman up, Shen Bai smiled warmly: "Mr.'s story is told very well, the tone and frustration are just right, and it makes people immersive, these are what Mr. deserves." ”
The old gentleman looked up, but he didn't expect to see Shen Bai's two hands injured hanging down on his side, surprise flashed in his eyes, and Shen Bai smiled indifferently: "Let Mr. see it and laugh, I am the straw bale Shen Bai who dragged his feet in the story of Mr. Fangcai, fortunately, my life is big, and I was not cut off two arms as Mr. said." ”
The old gentleman's goatee trembled, and he hurriedly confessed: "The old man exaggerated and offended Young Master Shen, and asked Young Master Shen to forgive him." After speaking, he was about to kneel, but Shen Bai asked Li Shan to help the old gentleman up and didn't let him kneel.
Shen Bai smiled even more on his face: "The old gentleman said it very well, I didn't feel offended, but there are many inside stories behind this matter, I want to tell Mr. to listen to it, so as to make this story a little fuller and richer, Mr. shouldn't mind, right?" ”
How can the old gentleman mind at this time, nodded again and again, sat in front of Shen Bai and listened carefully, Shen Bai started from being punished into the lieutenant camp for training, and talked about it carefully.
After noon, dark clouds gradually piled up in the sky, the scorching sun was covered, but the heat did not disappear at all, and the whole Hanjing seemed to be put into a steamer, so hot that people could not breathe.
The clouds grew thicker and thicker, and gradually became black and oppressive, as if the whole sky was about to fall.
It was a precursor to a rainstorm, and all the people in the streets hurried back, and half an hour later, a hideous lightning bolt tore through the sky, and the wind rose violently, and the banners hanging outside the shops were blown to the sound of hunting.
Gu Hengzhou rode out of the palace on horseback, and galloped all the way to the Guogong Mansion, halfway through, bean-sized raindrops fell from the sky, and the wind whistled with a torrential rain, smashing people all over their bodies.
Gu Hengzhou lowered his body, waved another whip on the horse's buttocks, and walked against the wind.
The wind and rain were too strong, and it took Gu Hengzhou a quarter of an hour longer than usual to return to the Guogong Mansion.
The porter has been waiting, and when he saw him come back, he immediately opened the door and sent an umbrella, Gu Hengzhou threw the horsewhip to the porter, and was about to step in, when the afterglow suddenly swept to the stone lion at the gate of the Guogong Mansion There were two groups of unknown creatures squatting, and after a pause, Gu Hengzhou walked over with a calm face: "Who are you, who made you squat here?" ”
As the words fell, the two people who were squatting there raised their heads and looked at him like chickens, one of them was thin and weak, and his arm was still dripping blood after being wet by the rain.
Gu Hengzhou's face was expressionless, and for a moment he wanted to scold his mother.
With such a big wind and rain, this little liar can't stay in the Taifu Mansion to recuperate, what is he going to do in the Guogong Mansion?
Gu Hengzhou brought Shen Bai and Li Shan into Jingteng Courtyard, Shen Bai was injured, his body was still weak, and he sneezed several times as soon as he entered the door, Gu Hengzhou gave Shen Bai the hot water prepared by Gu San for himself to use first, and asked Gu Si to boil more ginger soup.
Shen Bai took a hot bath, changed into Gu Hengzhou's clean clothes, and obediently drank the ginger soup sent by Gu Si, and the tip of his nose was hot with a layer of fine sweat.
She couldn't use her hands hard, her hair was still wet, Li Shan finished washing before Gu Hengzhou, and immediately came to help Shen Bai wipe his hair after changing his clothes, Gu Hengzhou stepped into the guest room and saw such a scene, his heart was inexplicably stabbed, and he pursed his lips and walked over.
Shen Bai sniffed the tip of his nose and looked at him curtly: "Brother Gu, I'm sorry, I'm sorry to trouble you again." ”
Do you bother me less?
Gu Hengzhou glanced at Shen Bai, and his gaze fell on her hand: "Has the wound been re-bandaged?" ”
Shen Bai shook his head truthfully: "Not yet, the gauze is wet and can't be used." ”
Gu Hengzhou twisted his eyebrows, grabbed Shen Bai's left hand and glanced at it, the wound was soaked white and swollen, even more hideous and terrifying than before.
This can't go on like this!
Gu Hengzhou asked Gu San to take the medicine and gauze over, Li Shan helped Shen Bai wipe his hair half-dry, and when he saw this, he wanted to take the medicine from Gu Hengzhou's hand, Gu Hengzhou didn't give it, looked him up and down, and asked Shen Bai: "Have you changed your child?" ”
"Well, my dad changed it for me, and it's more obedient to say this." Shen Bai replied vaguely, with Gu Hengzhou here, he didn't want Li Shan to help him with medicine, so he said to Li Shan, "You go to rest first, I will call you if there is anything." ”
Li Shan bowed and exited the room.
Shen Bai took the initiative to roll up his sleeves and put his hand in front of Gu Hengzhou: "Brother Gu, I'm tired." ”
Gu Hengzhou looked at Shen Bai deeply for a while, slowly sprinkled the medicine powder on the wound, and then helped her wrap the gauze.
His movements are becoming more and more proficient now, Shen Bai looked at his slender and good-looking fingers and couldn't take his eyes off it, and only when he was about to finish bandaging it did he ask Gu Hengzhou: "Brother Gu, something happened to my family, can you take me in for a while?" ”
Gu Hengzhou neatly tied the gauze into a slipknot, looked at the sky and said, "When the rain stops, the Guogong Mansion will send a carriage to send you back." ”
These words were a clear refusal to take her in.
Shen Bai's head drooped, like a puppy begging for bones, and said sullenly: "It's better not to bother Brother Gu, when the rain stops, I can find the carriage back by myself." ”
Accustomed to seeing Shen Bai's skinless and faceless appearance, he suddenly became so obedient, Gu Hengzhou was not used to it, and he didn't know what new tricks this person was playing, but Shen Bai kept his head down and stopped talking.
The pouring rain brought a rare coolness, but the sound of the rain made Gu Hengzhou feel a little irritable, and he was silent for a long time, after all, he couldn't help but ask: "What happened to the Taifu Mansion?" ”
Shen Bai raised his head, his eyes were frighteningly red, and the rippling water had already reached his eyes, and he was about to overflow, and then Gu Hengzhou heard her voice about to cry or not: "Brother Gu, my stepmother is pregnant!" ”
Gu Hengzhou was stunned, his heart was suddenly hit hard, and he was a little distressed.
He suddenly remembered that the lawless little devil of Tai Academy, like him, was just a child born without a mother.
He knew better than anyone how panicked and sad this kid was at this time.
Involuntarily, Gu Hengzhou raised his hand and touched Shen Bai's head, she had just washed her hair, and her hair was as smooth as silk.
Like a feather falling lightly into my heart, scratching the bottom of my heart slightly itchy.
Shen Bai's eyes blinked, and he said with tears in his eyes: "Brother Gu, that home can't accommodate me anymore, can I borrow it for a while in the Guogong Mansion?" ”
