Chapter 474: How haggard
Halfway through, Lu Yao always felt that his stomach was about to be turned upside down by the rickety carriage, and his face couldn't help but turn a little pale.
At this moment, a cup of warm tea was handed over, and in the small porcelain white cup was a fragrant light brown green tea, and a few pieces of sparse medicinal herbs were wafting at the bottom.
Gu Congyuan was holding the teacup, looking at her with a teasing face, raised her eyebrows, and motioned for her to quickly drink the hot tea to warm her body.
Lu Yao was a little embarrassed, just in order to hurry, he couldn't help but be a little anxious to eat, and suddenly passed by the carriage bumping, and it was inevitable that he was unwell.
She pulled the corners of her mouth stiffly, although there was a little shame on her face, but her heart was warm.
The palm of the palm also warmed the white porcelain teacup very comfortably, took a sip, and then lowered his head and said in a low voice: "The prince has a heart." ”
Gu Cong was a little at a loss when he saw that people were suddenly so polite, but he quickly endured the stunnedness, he gently knocked Lu Yao's head, and said, "Let you snooze and squeeze all the time together, is it uncomfortable?" ”
"You still laugh at me when you know it's uncomfortable?" Lu Yao frowned dissatisfiedly and glanced at the person with disgust.
When Gu Congyuan and Lu Yao were alone, they were closer than anyone else, and the relationship between the two was not only a husband and wife who loved each other, but also a friend who understood each other, which should have been extremely harmonious.
But since the last time Lu Yao heard the gossip about Sun Jianglian, he couldn't help but think about it from last night to now.
What if that Chu Huaiyu is really a hot potato that she can't hold?
Thinking of this, the folds in her eyebrows deepened.
Gu Congyuan looked at her preoccupied appearance, and couldn't help but reach out to soothe the frowning brows, but the person reacted quickly, dodged to the side, and complained: "What are you doing?" Newly painted eyebrows, will you paint them? ”
There is nothing in this world that His Royal Highness King Cong can't do, he withdrew his hand, and immediately felt good about himself and said, "Of course." ”
Lu Yao thought about the scene where the man's eyebrows turned into two black caterpillars some time ago, and he resisted from the bottom of his heart, and slapped the man's hand as if he was angry: "I believe your nonsense!" ”
Gu Congyuan smiled silently.
Lu Yao looked at such an approachable King Cong in front of him, and he was a little in a trance.
Thinking back to myself a year ago, I was not so intimate with him, and from time to time I needed to play some small tricks to keep this person in my small attic. Lu Yao subconsciously felt a burst of shame, although her methods were effective, they were vulgar.
Let's ask a woman like this, what is the difference between those flattering concubines?
The two willow eyebrows that she had just calmed down furrowed deeply again, and she was about to sigh with it, if it weren't for Gu Congyuan sitting beside her, she would have sighed in tune.
Lu Yao thought to himself, the emperor had never looked down on her, a small businessman surnamed Lu, from the beginning......
At the beginning, she replaced her unlucky sister Lu Xuerou and married into the palace of King Cong, and the purpose of the fight from the beginning was to help this person eliminate the emperor's concerns about him.
It's strange that the emperor can look down on her!
The old thing scattered on the top of the five stones is difficult to strengthen, it seems that it has become an irreversible thing, Lu Yao had no heart and no lungs before, but at this time, under the oppression of the emperor, he finally felt the unprecedented sense of crisis.
"Madame was full of sadness from the beginning," Gu Congyuan's deep voice suddenly sounded, startling Lu Yao, who was distracted, "What is it for?" ”
Lu Yao was agitated, she slapped him, and said angrily: "Why are you so sudden? ”
"......," Gu Congyuan said in his heart, "Am I sudden?" ”
He got a little closer, the thin lips were almost close, Lu Yao's face suddenly became hot, Gu Congyuan narrowed his narrow eyes, and said, "Madam, who are you worried about?" ”
Lu Yao was a mess in his head, and scolded secretly: "I'm worried about you, fool!" ”
"I ......" she turned her head away with a red face, swallowed her saliva, and snorted, "His Royal Highness King Cong, it doesn't seem like you and I are so close in broad daylight, right?" ”
Gu Congyuan got up, looked a little disappointed, and said in a low voice: "It's clear that there is still time to get closer." ”
Lu Yao really didn't want this vinegar jar to be overturned, but he couldn't help but ask: "I'm actually thinking about something, you know, we women have always been more delicate, right?" Seeing the disbelief in the man's eyes, she coughed and said, "You don't believe me? ”
Gu Congyuan bowed his head lightly: "I believe in Madame." ”
"The recent turmoil in Akagi Xinyang has just passed, and it seems that many dignitaries have returned to the capital, have you heard?" Lu Yao took a sip of warm tea and asked seemingly unintentionally.
Gu Congyuan has been busy dealing with the military affairs of the Xuanji Battalion that had been piled up before in the past few days, but he has not heard about these things.
Moreover, the three secret guards of the three divine dragons under him almost only reported extremely important news to him, and they almost avoided talking about those who were in the east and the west.
After talking about Gu Congyuan, he didn't want to listen to it, so Chang Shan, who had a broken mouth, honestly blocked these topics.
"I haven't heard of this, and they haven't reported it to the king." He sat upright, with a lot of implications, "For example? ”
Her jade white hand was holding the tea cup, gently scraping the tea foam that did not exist, and said, "For example, the Marquis of the Hou Mansion Chu who has been away from the world for a long time? ”
Gu Congyuan was slightly stunned, the expression on his face was stunned and dazed, and he blinked as if he was thinking about who this person was.
When Lu Yao looked at it, he probably didn't know the old gentleman......
He said honestly: "I don't remember who it is." ”
Lu Yaohu leaned over a few points suspiciously, and asked teasingly: "The prince really doesn't remember who the old marquis is?" ”
Gu Congyuan thought that this woman had discovered the clue of her identity, and her mind was racing, and she hurriedly pretended to be calm and said: "It's not that I don't remember it entirely, he is the emperor's former classmate and friend, and this king remembers that he has a daughter, who is quite talented like him." ”
Lu Yao didn't show a clear expression, but it was unexpected for him, revealing a little consternation and entanglement.
Gu Congyuan was even more confused, what should he say?
Lu Yao waved his hand in disbelief and said, "That's it." ”
“…… Madame, are you angry with me? Gu Congyuan asked humbly.
Lu Yao saw that people were so cautious, His Royal Highness King Cong, the person who made 10,000 people bow down in the three armies, actually held his tail in front of him, she naturally couldn't help but be a little ashamed, and said, "No." ”
She shook her head and said, "I just asked casually......" Looking at Gu Congyuan's reaction, she shouldn't have known that the emperor was going to forcibly pull the red line again, she changed her words and said, "I'm worried about Xiao Jiu's affairs, since the last time I came back, she hasn't contacted us, I'm really uncomfortable." ”
When Gu Congyuan heard this, he was relieved to see that people were not depressed because of themselves, and said, "When I returned to the palace, there were so many people to take care of me, and there would be no accident." ”
"The last time she went back, she was already delirious from crying, I ......" Lu Yao sighed again, "Even if the people can see her, how can they cure her heart disease?" ”
The carriage gradually stopped, and Lu Yao couldn't wait to pull Gu Congyuan straight to Xi'an Palace, walking fast along the way, Gu Congyuan saw that everyone was about to run, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Madame, slow down, can Xiao Jiu still fly away with wings?" ”
Lu Yao said worriedly: "Why aren't you a brother in a hurry for me?" Hurry up! ”
Under her repeated urging, Gu Congyuan quickly got up, almost ignoring people's greetings along the way, and just swept over and walked quickly.
It wasn't until they arrived at the gate of Xi'an Palace that the subordinates reported one after another, saying that King Cong and his wife had come to visit the Ninth Princess, and Lu Yao, who was out of breath, was a little relieved.
"His Royal Highness King Cong, Princess Cong, please use tea." The generous and decent palace maid brought tea and looked polite, but if you looked closely, you could see the deep black green under her eyes.
At first glance, it is that there is no good rest during this time.
Even the people are like this, so how much better will the ninth princess who is most worried about Li Yun be? What's more, Lu Yao and they had heard it a long time ago, and Li Shengshou had not come to his senses since he came back last time, and he was not even conscious.
Lu Yao leaned forward a little anxiously and asked, "When will the Ninth Princess come?" Where is she now? ”
At this moment, a weak voice came from behind him: "Sister-in-law, second brother ......"
This voice made Lu Yao stunned as if he had been struck by lightning, and His Royal Highness King Cong, who had a heart higher than the sky at the beginning, also involuntarily stiffened in his seat.
If it was placed on Gu Yunyue in the past, there would definitely not be such a weak and powerless voice, even when she was kidnapped by Akagi Xinyang and her life was in danger, she could talk a lot of nonsense, but now she is staying in the palace with a good look, but she is so haggard.
Lu Yao's eyebrows subconsciously began to hurt.
Her neck was almost stiff and twisted, and Gu Yunyue had already floated over like a ghost, appearing in front of the two of them without a sound.
Lu Yao almost couldn't believe that this skeletal woman was the glamorous Gu Yunyue in the past, if it weren't for the fact that the subordinates gave Lu Yao a vaccination from the beginning, and frequently said something "The ninth princess is not in a good mental state, but her body is tough, please don't worry", she was afraid that she would think that Gu Yunyue had some terminal illness!
The little girl in front of her, the baby fat on her cheeks faded, revealing an almost sharp jawline, her eyes were haggard and gloomy, her face was sallow and pale, and Lu Yao could see it even through the thin fabric......
She was under the wide sleeves, the thin arms.
The whole person was emaciated like a thin piece of paper, and he was about to leave as soon as the wind blew.
"Little Nine...... What's wrong with you? ”
