Chapter 134: How to Gain His Highness's Trust?
Gu Hengzhou didn't allow Shen Bai to eavesdrop, Shen Bai could only stand obediently at the gate of the courtyard and guard, about a quarter of an hour later, Murong Xuan walked out of the house, Shen Bai didn't want to show his timidity, he looked over lightly with his hands behind his back, and then heard Murong Xuan say: "His Royal Highness the Prince let you in, he has something to say to you." β
Well? Why did you suddenly say something to me again?
Shen Bai was vigilant, grabbed Murong Xuan's hand and walked outside the courtyard, wrote in his palm and asked, "What did you say to Brother Gu just now?" Did you add fuel to the vinegar and falsely accuse me?
Murong Xuan withdrew his hand and said with a straight face: "I'm not the kind of person who will sue behind my back, you don't have to live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and stay away from me in the future, don't move your hands and feet, otherwise you will be beaten carefully." β
Murong Xuan shook his fist in warning as he spoke.
Shen Bai laughed angrily, yo, you regard Brother Gu as a backer, so you are not afraid of heaven and earth, are you?
Shen Bai secretly pondered how to make Murong Xuan honest, and Murong Xuan gloated: "His Royal Highness the Prince of the World is not speaking in a very good tone. You procrastinate like this, and you will be punished for a while. β
After Murong Xuan finished speaking, he walked away, Shen Bai punched and kicked his back, and then went back, politely knocked on Gu Hengzhou's door twice, and was allowed to push the door in.
It was already dark, the room was lit with a lamp, Gu Hengzhou was sitting at the table, looking at a bamboo slip, with a serious expression, similar to when he was dealing with official business in the lieutenant's camp.
Shen Bai carefully recalled the events that had happened in these days, confirmed that he had not done anything too excessive, and his heart was slightly settled, and he obediently walked to the table and waited for Gu Hengzhou to ask.
However, she stood for almost a quarter of an hour, Gu Hengzhou didn't speak, Shen Bai was a little unable to stand, and quietly stretched out his paws to dip his claws into ink to write, Gu Hengzhou said coldly: "Stand." Who made you move? β
Shen Bai retracted his claws, secretly complaining in his heart, but he didn't expect Gu Hengzhou to call her in to punish her.
Standing outside the door, she could occasionally move her arms and legs, but in front of Gu Hengzhou, she could only be as motionless as a bamboo pole.
Shen Bai stood up uncomfortably, and after another quarter of an hour, Gu Hengzhou closed the bamboo slip, lifted his eyes to look at Shen Bai, and asked, "Uncomfortable?" β
Shen Bai nodded vigorously.
But it's uncomfortable Brother Gu, when I was in Tai Academy, you knew that I couldn't calm down.
Gu Hengzhou picked up a new bamboo slip and opened it. While watching, he asked: "In the past few days, in order to coax Wei Xun, you have been in the same room with those three men, is this matter fake?" β
Shen Bai shook his head and raised a finger to emphasize.
Brother Gu, there is only one!
Gu Hengzhou asked: "So you have shared a bed with a person for nearly ten days, and you still feel justified?" β
Shen Bai ignored it and blinked pitifully.
Brother Gu, this is also forced by the situation, there is no way. On such a cold day, you can't let me go to the floor, can you?
Shen Bai felt that he was about to die of wrongdoing, Gu Hengzhou knew that she was pretending to be pitiful, and did not pay attention to her small movements, so he asked instead: "Do you know what the identity of that person named Ah Xuan is?" β
Shen Bai was about to shake his head, but Gu Hengzhou added: "I want to listen to the truth!" β
Shen Bai smiled bitterly, and obediently wrote down what he had guessed before with a pen and paper: he claimed that his name was Murong Xuan, and Murong Nai's surname was resumed, which was rare in Zhaoling. It just so happened that Murong Qi, the eldest prince of Nanxiang Kingdom, brought the princess to Hanjing to congratulate His Majesty on his birthday, and I boldly guessed that his true identity may be related to Nanxiang Kingdom.
The little liar really guesses.
Gu Hengzhou burned the piece of paper and asked Shen Bai: "Since you have this guess, you dare to share a bed with him, are you really not afraid of death?" β
I didn't treat him lightly, and I didn't treat him harshly, even if he was the royal family of Nanxiang Kingdom, he didn't dare to do anything to me.
Shen Bai slandered, knowing what Gu Hengzhou was worried about, and wrote on the paper: This person is brave and unscrupulous, a tendon, and he can't avoid the fact that I like men, and it is impossible to find anything abnormal, and it is precisely because I fancy this that I am willing to let him be in the same room with me, like Xuanyin and Hu Mi, who have been in the dust for a long time, I will definitely not have too much contact with them.
Shen Bai was very clear in this regard, Gu Hengzhou looked at her fixedly, and asked, "Have you heard a sentence?" β
Shen Bai blinked. With a puzzled look, Gu Hengzhou paused for a moment and said, "Most of the people who are drowned in this world are people who know how to water. β
Shen Bai: "??"
Shen Bai has indeed heard this saying, but she has always seemed to be exaggerated in her actions, but in fact she is cautious, except for the occasional bold and radical in matters related to Gu Hengzhou, she will think twice before acting.
Shen Bai still didn't want to admit this charge, so he hesitated and wrote: Brother Gu, I have studied in Tai Academy for so many years, and I have never been found abnormal, so I naturally have my own coping strategy, and I have known men since I was a child, and I will be fine if I pretend to be a man.
Gu Hengzhou raised his eyebrows: "You weren't found in Tai Academy because you are young and not much different from the boy's body, and in another year, you will still be able to hide?" β
Gu Hengzhou said and looked at Shen Bai's chest, she didn't have time to wrap the chest cloth, her chest was slightly bulging than usual, and she liked to raise her head and chest like a man, and the curvature became more and more obvious.
It's just beginning to grow, so how can you hide it in the future?
Shen Bai's old face was hot, because the person sitting in front of him was Gu Hengzhou, so he couldn't endure the "hooligan" and couldn't scold.
Of course, this is only the most obvious point, as well as her Adam's apple, and the Aoi water that she comes to every month, and her tall figure and rough voice that are never like a man.
When she was young, she could still cover it up, but when she was seventeen or eighteen, she would be suspicious. At that time, if you are caught by someone with a heart, the consequences will be unimaginable.
What's more, she has always been a woman, not to mention that she should be enclosed in the backyard between square inches and stay at home, and the huge Zhaoling Tomb should definitely not let her stand on the cusp.
She can't live a lifetime as the concubine of Taifu, she should restore the identity of the concubine of Taifu, face the world openly, and find a worthy Ruyi Langjun, Qin Se and Ming's life.
Since knowing that Shen Bai is daughter's body, Gu Hengzhou has thought about it a lot, and now seeing her standing in front of her, the idea of letting her restore her daughter's body has become clearer and firmer.
Not wanting to talk to Shen Bai anymore, Gu Hengzhou ordered in a deep voice: "Don't get too close to any man in the future." β
At this time, Brother Gu was right in everything he said.
In line with this principle, Shen Bai nodded immediately, but Gu Hengzhou knew that most of her heart was not clear about the boundary between men and women, and then added: "You are not allowed to hook your shoulders and put your back on your back, you must not speak at a distance of less than one meter, your hands and feet must not be exposed at will for people to see, you must not give your belongings to others at will, and you must not accept other people's things at will." β
Gu Hengzhou's regulations were very detailed, and Shen Bai was dumbfounded, I have always done these things in Tai Academy, and everyone is a man, and it is nothing to hook shoulders and backs.
Shen Bai retorted in his heart, and then lowered his eyes weakly, yes, she is not a real man.
Gu Hengzhou said and his eyes fell on Shen Bai's hand holding the pen again, these days in the state capital to eat and drink well, she seems to have gained a little fat, and her hands look more and more white and soft. Gu Hengzhou remembered the soft touch of her hand writing in the palm of her hand before, her throat rolled up and down, and said in a deep voice: "I still have to stay in Mozhou for a long time, these days you are not allowed to walk around with me at will, if you have anything to say to me, if you don't have a pen and paper on your side, you are not allowed to write in the palm of your hand." β
Isn't this what it means to only hold Brother Gu's handwriting?
Thinking of this, the corners of Shen Bai's lips rose uncontrollably, and his eyebrows and eyes were crooked. Nodded with special pleasure.
It's good to follow Brother Gu, and it's also good to hold Brother Gu's hand and write.
Shen Bai smiled a little silly, and Gu Hengzhou's face, which had been tense, was a little tense, and it softened a little.
The next person came in and spread the word that dinner was ready, Gu Hengzhou had punished Shen Bai for not eating in front of Wei Xun and stood in the north courtyard, so he didn't take Shen Bai to eat at this time, and went to the front hall by himself.
Knowing that the state capital has a lot of eyeliner, Shen Bai made a full set of acts, and after Gu Hengzhou left, he stood outside under the eaves and pretended to be punished. Not long after, a Praetorian Guard quietly came in carrying a food box over the wall, walked to Shen Bai and knelt down, and whispered: "Young Master Shen, this is the meat porridge that His Royal Highness asked his subordinates to buy in the best restaurant in Mozhou City, and charcoal is spread under the food box, it may be a little hot, Young Master Shen be careful." β
This Praetorian Guard was very meticulous, and Shen Bai stood still. The Praetorian Guard glanced at her suspiciously, and added: "The north courtyard is surrounded by our people, and others won't know what happened in the courtyard, so Young Master Shen can eat it with confidence." β
That's so sweet.
Shen Bai happily carried the food box into the house and ate the bowl of meat porridge in one go.
The Praetorian Guards estimated the time to come in and take away the food box, and after a while, they asked their subordinates to bring hot water and clean clothes to Shen Bai to bathe, and then brought a message to Shen Bai: "His Royal Highness said that he will discuss something with Lord Wei after he finishes eating, and I hope he will come back before he returns." Young Master Shen can put everything in order. β
This means that Gu Hengzhou will not come back until she finishes bathing and changing.
Shen Bai nodded, waited for the Praetorian Guards to retreat, entered the ear room by himself, and quickly took off his clothes and sat in the bathtub to soak comfortably.
In the past few days, because he was in the same room with Murong Xuan, although he knew that Murong Xuan would not do anything to peep, Shen Bai was also a little worried when he bathed, and now Gu Hengzhou sent someone to watch outside. Without worries, she can completely relax.
After taking a shower and changing into clean clothes, Shen Bai went out and asked his subordinates to carry out the used water and pour it out, and then clean up the ear room.
Gu Hengzhou didn't know when he would come back, so Shen Bai asked people to add some lamp oil, and combed through what he had seen and heard in Mozhou these days, and carefully recorded it.
Murong Xuan's appearance in Mozhou was also very strange, Shen Bai put this matter to the end, carefully considered his words, and considered how to tell Gu Hengzhou about it.
Combined with the memories of the previous life, Shen Bai felt that the most suspicious ones were the Tai Lieutenant Jiang De'an and the Prime Minister Li Deren.
Because of her rebirth, many things have changed in this life, Zhou Deshan is not dead, and the Zhenguo Convention can also avoid this death battle in Yuanfeng County, Zhao Che and the previous queen Miao Ruoxi met in advance, Su Xiaoqiu also intersected with Gu Hengzhou in advance, and Jiang De'an and Li Deren supported the fourth prince Zhao Chou's palace.
But she just said that the two important ministers of the two dynasties were going to rebel, Gu Hengzhou would probably only think she was crazy.
Shen Bai bit the tip of his nose and frowned and thought about what to say, when there were footsteps outside the door, and then the cold voice of the Praetorian Guard: "His Royal Highness the Prince is not here, what are you doing?" β
Who else will come to the North Courtyard at this time?
Shen Bai put the paper on which he had written at the bottom, and heard Su Xiaoqiu's soft voice say, "I'm here to find Lord Shen." β
Afraid that the Praetorian Guards would be too fierce to scare Su Xiaoqiu, Shen Bai pressed the paper and hurriedly walked over to open the door, the Praetorian Guards retreated sideways and saluted her, Shen Bai waved his hand indifferently, signaling that he didn't need to be nervous, and then pulled Su Xiaoqiu into the house.
It's cold outside. Su Xiaoqiu's hands were a little cold, and Shen Baicun wanted to win her over to marry Gu Hengzhou in the future, so he helped her rub her hands.
Su Xiaoqiu was flattered, her cheeks flushed slightly, she withdrew her hand crampedly, and said nervously: "Lord Shen, please respect yourself." β
Afraid of being misunderstood by Meng Lang, Shen Bai hurriedly took a pen and paper and wrote: I saw that Miss Xiaoqiu's hands were very cold, and I forgot the defense of men and women in a hurry, and I abruptly surprised Miss Xiaoqiu, and asked Miss Xiaoqiu to forgive me.
Shen Bai finished writing and made a confession.
There are many disciples in the world, but it is very rare to have a disciple who is so polite and thoughtful.
Su Tongqiu blushed and smiled, returned the salute, and said to Shen Bai: "My father's medical skills in Yuanfeng County are acceptable, I am fortunate that he taught by word and deed, and also learned some Qihuang techniques, this time I am really sorry for Lord Shen without saying goodbye, if Lord Shen is willing." Can you show me the wound on your tongue? β
Knowing that he was a bit overt when he said this, Su Xiaoqiu hurriedly said: "I know that Lord Shen has a good status, and there are imperial doctors in Beijing to help see the doctor, I just saw that Lord Shen has been inconvenient recently because he can't speak, so I want to do my best, if the adults don't believe it, then I will leave." β
If Shen Bai didn't know about the previous life, he would definitely not rashly believe what a woman of unknown origin said when he heard Su Xiaoqiu's words.
After Su Xiaoqiu finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave. Shen Bai immediately grabbed her and nodded like pounded garlic.
Miss Su, help me take a look, I want to talk so much, I will suffocate if I can't speak anymore!
Shen Bai couldn't even bother to write, pulled Su Xiaoqiu to sit down at the table, and made his mouth big so that Su Xiaoqiu could see the wound on his tongue.
Su Xiaoqiu also felt Shen Bai's eagerness, and said, "Then I'm going to offend adults." β
It was dark now, and there was only one oil lamp in the room, and the light was a little dim. It was not conducive to checking the injury, Su Xiaoqiu took a chopstick as an aid, and gently flicked Shen Bai's tongue, and Shen Bai snorted twice when he felt the pain.
After a while, Su Xiaoqiu finished checking and said softly: "Lord Shen's tongue is injured near the root of the tongue, and the wound is not neat, but is it my own tongue?" β
Shen Bai nodded with a bitter face, she really regretted her intestines, what did she do badly at the beginning, she had to bite her tongue to make a bitter trick?
Su Xiaoqiu didn't ask Shen Bai why he bit his tongue, and continued: "Lord Shen's tongue has actually recovered quite well, it should be the best medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor, and Lord Shen will only be able to follow the doctor's instructions to use liquid food. β
Shen Bai nodded again and again, in order to be able to speak again as soon as possible, she is now obedient.
Su Xiaoqiu asked, "Young Master Shen can bring the prescription prescribed by the imperial doctor with him?" Can you give me a look? β
Fang Zi Shen Bai didn't have it with him, but Shen Bai remembered what medicines were on it, and she quickly picked up the pen and wrote it down.
Su Xiaoqiu watched seriously beside him. Heartfelt praise: "Lord Shen's handwriting is so beautiful, and his memory is really good, so many flavored medicines can be remembered." β
Shen Bai smiled and accepted this wave of praise unceremoniously.
Su Xiaoqiu stared at the prescription for a while, picked up the pen and crossed out the three flavor medicines, replaced them with the other three flavor medicines, and said to Shen Bai: "This prescription prescribed by the imperial doctor is excellent, it can not only treat the wound on Lord Shen's tongue, but also strengthen the foundation of Peiyuan, help Lord Shen recuperate his body and replenish his vitality, I will replace it with these three flavor medicines, Young Master Shen will be able to speak after boiling and drinking for ten days, but it will not have the effect of those solid foundation Peiyuan." β
The master's body is very good, and he wants Lao Shizi to consolidate his foundation and cultivate yuan, as long as he can speak.
Shen Bai happily lifted Su Xiaoqiu's improved prescription and pouted to dry it, as if he had lost a big baby.
Su Xiaoqiu watched from the side for a while, and asked Shen Bai softly: "His Royal Highness the Prince of the World doesn't seem to believe a word of what I said today, but this matter is related to the safety of the mountains and rivers of Zhaoling, I think Lord Shen has a very good relationship with His Royal Highness the Prince, can I ask Lord Shen for some advice, how can I gain the trust of His Royal Highness the Prince?" β
Su Xiaoqiu asked cautiously, his face was full of worries about the mountains and rivers of Zhaoling, Shen Bai put the prescription aside, took the pen and wrote: Miss Xiaoqiu misunderstood, Brother Gu seems to be cold-hearted and ruthless, but in fact, he is warm-hearted and upright, what Miss Xiaoqiu said. Brother Gu will send someone to investigate thoroughly in the shortest possible time, Miss Xiaoqiu doesn't have to worry so much, there will be absolutely nothing wrong with Brother Gu.
"Really?" Su Xiaoqiu said softly, "Then I'll rest assured." β
Shen Bai nodded.
Rest assured, there is no more reliable person in the world than Brother Gu.
Shen Bai was bent on sitting in the Guogong Mansion with Su Xiaoqiu, and at this time he intended to match her and Gu Hengzhou, and hurriedly wrote: "Brother Gu is upright, just because he is too rigid, when he was in Hanjing, no girl dared to approach him, he didn't have much contact with girls, and now he is eighteen years old and hasn't discussed marriage, if Miss Xiaoqiu wants to gain his trust, you might as well find more opportunities to talk to Brother Gu, so that Brother Gu can understand your personality." β
Su Xiaoqiu hesitated and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince is busy with official business, if I look for him if I have nothing to do, will he be angry?" β
Shen Bai immediately wrote: Brother Gu is a great opportunity, and he still wants to eat, drink, and Lazar. What kind of medicinal food or snacks does Miss Xiaoqiu make? Don't look at Brother Gu's cold eyebrows, in fact, he likes to eat sweets, especially pastries such as osmanthus cake and glutinous rice crisp.
As soon as Shen Bai finished writing, the Praetorian Guards shouted outside: "Your Highness, you are back." β
Almost subconsciously, Shen Bai kneaded the piece of paper and stuffed it into his sleeve, Gu Hengzhou pushed the door in, Su Xiaoqiu looked at Shen Bai in surprise and asked, "Lord Shen, what are you doing hiding this piece of paper!?" β
Gu Hengzhou stood at the door, looking at Shen Bai with a cold look in his eyes.
Shen Bai: "??"
Brother Gu, this matter is not what you imagined!
