Chapter 7: See Gu Xiu again
I poked my head out of the curtain, chose the most lively place, unscrewed the bottle, and quietly scattered the soft tendons.
The hand holding the white porcelain vase trembled slightly, and I waited uneasily for the sedan chair to start staggering, and I could hear the tall maid outside cursing. I gritted my teeth, rushed away the sedan chair that was still hanging in the air, staggered away from the tall maid, and quickly got into the crowd.
Where do you run? I do not know. I knew I couldn't stop, and the people behind me were more terrible than jackals and beasts.
My boots were replaced by high-soled boots, and I don't know where my running boots have fallen all the way. The soles of my feet have been sharpened by small sharp stones, and I don't know how many people I have bumped into and how much abuse I have received along the way.
I followed Gu Xiu's mansion in my memory, fell and got up, broke my palm, wore out my knees, and even this valuable gold thread skirt was made out of shape by me.
The people behind me were still chasing after me, and I cried, my heart full of despair.
Several times I was paralyzed and didn't have the strength to run again, but when I thought of Xiao Changfeng, I seemed to see a light, and at the end of the light was Yuan Changfeng's warm smiling face.
Fortunately, the gate of Gu's Mansion was not closed, so I crawled to the gate with my skirt and knelt directly on the ground with my legs sore.
The two guards at the gate seemed to remember me, so they ran to help me.
The tall maid behind him had already caught up. I looked at them and gasped and said to the guards, "Help me, save me." ”
"Girl, don't make trouble, Miss is still waiting for you at home, don't you make her anxious." The tall maid said.
I grabbed one of the guards by the sleeve, crying and begging him not to hand me over to them.
Another guard said to the tall maid, "This girl is the woman of our little prince, and if your young lady wants to take her away, please wait for me to tell the little prince and see what he says." ”
The tall maid smiled: "No need. Since it is the little prince's person, I will tell our young lady when I go back. ”
Hearing her say this, I breathed a sigh of relief. The hand that tugged at the guard's sleeve loosened, and he lost his strength.
The first thing I saw when I woke up was Gu Xiu holding my hand, staring at me without blinking. His eyes were slightly bloodshot, and his nose was already blue, and he had grown a beard.
Seeing me wake up, Gu Xiu's grip on my hand suddenly intensified, and there was uncontrollable joy in his eyes: "Thank God, you finally woke up." ”
I opened my mouth, only to find myself speechless.
I looked at Gu Xiu and grabbed his clothes tightly.
"Don't be afraid, you're just stimulated and can't speak for the time being." Gu Xiu comforted me.
I breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was Chop Ling'er who poisoned me, leaving me speechless forever.
"The guard at the gate told me that the man chasing you belongs to the prime minister's family. How did you get involved with them? ”
I really want to say that I don't know anyone from the Prime Minister's Mansion at all, and it was the wicked man who took me to curry favor with the emperor. But I can't speak now, so I can only gesture with my hand to Gu Xiu.
His eyes were confused, obviously he couldn't read.
I gritted my teeth and thought I couldn't say it, but I could write it down by hand.
I asked Gu Xiu for a piece of paper and a pen.
Both of my palms are wrapped in gauze, and I feel pain when I hold them gently. I think it was a fall while running away.
I couldn't care so much about it, so I endured the pain and wrote the name of Chop Ling'er on the paper.
"The prime minister's youngest daughter, Chop Ling'er?"
I nodded.
Gu Xiu frowned slightly: "How do you know her?" ”
I sketched down what had happened on a piece of paper again.
After Gu Xiu finished reading it, his brows furrowed even tighter, and he seemed to think of something again and gradually relaxed.
"It's strange that she is in her thirties, but she will always have a baby face, and her body is the same as that of an eight- or nine-year-old child. It is said to have been poisoned when he was a child. Gu Xiu said to me. I could see that he was very disdainful when he talked about this slashing spirit.
I know that there is a poison in the rivers and lakes, called mandala pollen, as long as it is contaminated with a little bit, that person's face and figure will stay at that time forever. It's just that this kind of pollen is very precious, and his father doesn't know where it is.
Thinking about it like this, the viciousness of the method of killing Ling'er also makes sense.
I didn't tell Gu Xiu the reason why Qi Ling'er sent me to the palace, because I clearly remembered that the moment before I passed out, the two guards were talking about their prince. Gu Xiu is a prince. Or maybe I should have thought of it a long time ago.
Gu Xiu asked me, "Good and decent, why did you come to the capital again?" ”
I wrote on the paper "Looking for Xiao Changfeng".
"Did you find it?"
I shook my head.
He has obviously been settling down in the capital, why did I search all over the capital but didn't run into him.
"You are a weak woman, you came to the capital penniless, what should you do if you encounter some danger." Gu Xiu was annoyed with me, and his words were full of anger.
I bit my lip, and a wave of fear came over me, and I shed tears of dismay.
I don't want to, what can I do, I want Xiao Changfeng again, I don't want to stay in Licheng for a moment, I just want to find him. Who knew that as soon as he arrived in the capital, he met Qi Ling'er and ended up in such an embarrassment.
"Don't cry." Seeing me crying, Gu Xiu wiped me with a handkerchief in a panic.
I pressed the pain in my heart and wrote "Help me find it" on the paper.
I have no choice, on my own, I don't know if Ma Yue can find Xiao Changfeng in the Year of the Monkey. Gu Xiu is a prince, and it is much easier to find someone than me.
Gu Xiu sighed, pressed me on the bed again, and helped me cover the futon: "You have a good rest first, you don't have to worry about finding someone, take care of your body first." ”
I was relieved to hear from him, and I fell asleep without even writing thanks.
Early the next morning, before the coolness of autumn had passed, I was pulled up by Gu Xiu.
My clothes were already in tatters, and the maid in Gu Xiu's mansion brought me a red skirt. Looking at this extremely colorful dress, I couldn't let go of it a little, I have never worn such a bright dress in my memory, I think it is too eye-catching. When I put it on, I found a surprising fit.
"The girl is really beautiful, and this pleated skirt is also very suitable for the girl." The maid helped me comb my hair in a bun and asked me what kind of hairpin I liked.
I casually chose a hairpin with the appearance of magnolia white jade, and I couldn't help but look at the dazzling ornaments on the dresser. All of them look exquisite and valuable. I was speechless in my heart, and I finally determined in my heart that Gu Xiu was really the prince.
After some dressing, the maid put on a light blue tassel for me and helped me tie it around my waist.
I would love to say that I don't have to bother so much, and I want to say thank you to her. But I couldn't make a sound, so I could only sit in silent silence.
