CHAPTER XXIX

However, it is a strange thing to encounter bandits in the suburbs!

Qu Muge thought that Feng Hu had brought the post to arrange for her to participate in the Buddhist meeting, so he asked, "Has Feng Hu returned to the city?" Is he okay? Why don't you see anyone? ”

Xin's mother said: "Guard Feng is injured, and he will deal with his injuries in the front yard." ”

Qu Muge was suspicious in his heart, and after sending Xin's mother to rest, he immediately ran to find Feng Hu.

Feng Hu had some knife wounds on his body, and there was a pile of blood-stained gauze on the floor of the room.

Qu Muge ventured in and was startled when he saw the blood and injuries in this place, and only then did he realize how ferocious this battle was during the day.

"It doesn't matter if you are injured, why didn't you ask Lang Zhong to take a look?"

Feng Hu waved his hand and said, "I'm fine, it's all skin injuries, just rub some medicine, Lang Zhong is helping the seriously injured brother to heal." ”

They are all strong soldiers who have been born and died on the battlefield, and the people who can hurt them must not be some three-legged cat bandits.

"Is anyone seriously injured? What about Hou Ye? He's back, is he okay? Qu Muge asked with concern.

Feng Hu smiled: "Master Hou is busy, it's okay." ”

Qu Muge helped him hand him the potion gauze and asked, "Who is the one who hurt you?" Is it the hand of the brocade guard named Bai Yuanhui? ”

She really wanted to figure out Bai Yuanhui's position.

Feng Hu shook his head and said, "It's not him, he only went up the mountain later." Looking at Hou Ye's attitude, although Bai Yuanhui is not a friend, he is not an enemy, so the girl does not need to be afraid. ”

Qu Muge breathed a sigh of relief and asked again, "Then who dares to attack the Gu family?" ”

"It's the person who wanted to arrest you before, but seeing that he couldn't catch you, he sent a lot of killers to Jinling this time, and the Hou Ye was impatient to prevent thieves for a hundred days, so he simply set up a bureau and wiped them out."

Qu Muge's face turned pale, it turned out that he was coming at her.

Seeing that everyone was injured and Xin's mother was still frightened like that, Qu Muge blamed herself a little.

"It turned out that I caused trouble to the Gu family......"

Feng Hu couldn't bear the little girl's sadness, and planned to comfort her, but suddenly caught a glimpse of the figure at the door.

He immediately got up and shouted, "Master Hou." ”

Gu Nanye walked in from the door, and the brocade clothes and hair tips on his body were stained with blood, which made people shudder.

Qu Muge immediately turned around to look, his eyes wandered up and down, and asked in a low voice, "Master Hou...... You're not hurt. ”

Gu Nanye shook his head and said in a familiar cold tone, "You come with me." ”

Qu Muge honestly followed him and went to his Siqi Courtyard in the Gu Mansion.

Gu Nanye took off the bloodstained coat on his body, hastily put a piece of clothing on his body, and said, "I heard that you have already seen Bai Yuanhui." ”

Qu Muge nodded silently.

Gu Nanye said calmly: "He will return to the capital in a few days, you can go with him." ”

Qu Muge never thought that the first thing Gu Nanye did when he returned to Jinling was to let her go.

“…… Why let me go? Qu Muge was full of reluctance, thought for a while, and asked reproachfully: "Is it because I caused trouble for the Gu family?" ”

Gu Nanye shook his head, looked at her and asked, "Don't you remember who you are?" ”

Qu Muge turned sideways, avoided Gu Nanye's eyes, and said, "I've dreamed a few bites, I'm not sure, but I guessed a few points...... However, didn't I return to the palace at the age of seventeen? ”

I thought that I still had three or four years to adapt, to learn to be independent, to control my own destiny, but I didn't expect Gu Nanye to send her back to the palace so early.

Gu Nanye said: "Some things will happen sooner or later, so choose the most appropriate time for it to happen." ”

Qu Muge didn't understand what Gu Nanye meant by "the most appropriate time", so he could only return to the room in despair and sit on the edge of the bed in a daze.

From the time she found out in her dream that Ye Taohua was the emperor's daughter who had left behind the people, she was worried about the arrival of this day.

As a princess, she may be able to worry about food and clothing, but she is also destined to have no personal freedom.

What's more, there is no one in the palace that she can trust and rely on.

She didn't want to leave Mrs. Gu, she didn't want to leave Gu Nanye......

In the days after the Midyear Festival, Qu Muge always felt inexplicably irritable, and when practicing calligraphy every day, a post would make mistakes if he couldn't write a line, so he could only rub it and rewrite it.

Huanhuan came to see her with sour plum soup and said, "Xuan'er, drink some soup and rest." ”

Qu Muge glanced at the sour plum soup, and thought that Ye Taohua also liked to cook this soup to cool off after returning to the palace, so he turned his head and said, "I don't like to drink it." ”

"Huh? Didn't you like it before? Huanhuan asked in surprise.

She squatted down to clean up the paper ball on the ground, looked at Ye Taixuan's frowning brows, and said, "If the girl doesn't want to write, let's not write." Lord Hou and Mrs. Hou held a reception banquet today, and the white master who met in Xianle Fang before also came, don't you think you have a fate with him? Let's take a look. ”

Unexpectedly, Qu Muge slapped the brush on the table and lost his temper: "Why is he here again?" Last time I came to the house to handle the case, I interrogated my wife and me, and now I am embarrassed to come as a guest? ”

Huanhuan was stunned.

She had never seen Qu Muge lose her temper, and she still lost her temper like this for no reason.

"Then, I'll go ahead and help......" Huanhuan silently retreated.

Qu Muge sat in the study by himself, anxious and angry, but there was nothing he could do.

Can she stay on her laurels? Maybe go and beg Mrs. Gu, Mrs. Gu will keep her, but she is embarrassed to rely on the Gu family to make trouble for them.

I injured so many guards this time, will there be a killer in the house next time?

But if you go back to the capital, every step is a gamble.

The emperor and everyone in the harem can manipulate her fate, who to marry, what kind of life to live, and what she can do.

Thinking of the end, she secretly wiped away her tears.

In the study of Siqi Courtyard, Bai Yuanhui and Gu Nanye were talking.

"The physique of those mountain bandits is specially trained, and the knives they use are of high quality, and they should be specially raised dead soldiers. Who has Hou Ye offended recently? ”

Gu Nanye saw that Bai Yuanhui was still talking about himself, so he glanced at him and said, "Ben Hou thought that the white guards were here to thank him today. ”

Bai Yuanhui's face turned red, a little embarrassed.

He vaguely guessed that those dead soldiers were not coming for Gu Nanye, but for Ye Taixuan.

The Gu family and Ye Taixuan are not related, but they saved her and protected her, and the Bai family should indeed thank Gu Nanye.

Bai Yuanhui stopped detouring: "It seems that Hou Ye already knows her life experience, Hou Ye can save Taixuan, and the Bai family will be grateful in the future, but ...... Hou Ye did not hesitate to offend the Zuo family for her, what is his plan? ”

"What can I do for a helpless little girl? It's just royal blood, and you can't watch her go to the people and be humiliated, so when you encounter it, you will help. Gu Nanye said lightly.

Bai Yuan smiled back: "Master Hou is so kind? ”

Gu Nanye glanced at him coldly, and Bai Yuanhui realized that he was too much, so he immediately put away his sarcastic smile.
