Chapter 17 Chance encounters
It is a terrain that is slightly wider than the prime minister's courtyard, but this pattern, this taste, in the eyes of outsiders, is cold and cold, and it is almost the same as the cemetery.
Gu Nanqin and Xiao Zi'an looked at each other a little helplessly: they were really as cold and miserable as before.
But what made Gu Nanqin a little unbearable was that such an old-fashioned courtyard could teach such an interesting girl as Nangong Changle? What kind of water and soil are these?
Xiao Zi'an actually regained her strength not long after she came out, but Gu Nanqin still firmly put his unilateral body on her weak shoulder, although she was quite small, she was actually quite reliable.
The faint fragrance of pear blossoms lingered on the tip of the princess's nose along the breeze, Xiao Zi'an involuntarily tilted his head to see her, but for a moment of hesitation, he finally looked away.
Gu Nanqin was praying not to run into the rest of the Nangong family, Leng Buding was tripped by a bluestone platform under his feet, and he almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, he was quickly dragged back by Xiao Zi'an.
"Uh, thank you." Gu Nanqin was dragged by him like this, and the two of them were close together for a while, and they were a little embarrassed for a while, but they suddenly remembered something, and pushed him violently, and at the same time turned their heads to look at him in surprise, "Alas? Are you alright? ”
Nangong Changle quietly paid attention to the movements of the two of them, and he had been holding back his laughter, but now, he could be regarded as laughing directly.
Gu Nanqin was a little embarrassed by the laughter, but Xiao Zi'an, who had pretended to be sick all the way, was calm and indifferent at the moment: "...... Be careful, someone's coming. ”
Gu Nanqin chuckled in her heart: I'm really afraid of something. Raise your eyes and take a closer look, it is actually Changle's stepmother Wang Jing.
"Changle?" Wang Jing was holding a small milk dog in her arms, she was going out for a walk, but she didn't expect that it would be dark and windy in this month, and she looked at such three people.
Especially the girl in the middle, her face is a little familiar, but this bun is ...... Wang Jing couldn't help frowning: What a girl, why is this hair tossed like a chicken nest?
Seeing Wang Jing's reaction like this, Changle quickly guessed what she was thinking: "Well, this is the eldest princess of Yongjia, and the one next to her is her guard." Today I was going on an outing with her, but I met robbers on the road, and narrowly avoided a catastrophe, which was a little embarrassing, and I hoped that my mother would let me go back to the house and find some tranquilizers for the princess. ”
Hearing Changle say this, Wang Jing's originally leisurely and gentle face changed suddenly at this moment, as if she remembered where this familiarity came from: "It's the eldest princess?" The woman was so frightened that her first reaction was to kowtow to meet Her ......Royal Highness the princess, but Gu Nanqin's bun at the moment was in a mess due to the crazy running just now, and she threw most of the hairpin in Wanhualou, and there was nothing to tie her hair at the moment, she was really embarrassed: "No need, few people know about this princess's departure from the palace this time, and my aunt doesn't have to make such a big ceremony." …… Hey, this puppy is cute. ”
Gu Nanqin couldn't help but get a little closer to Wang Jing as she spoke, reached out and stroked a handful of dog hair, with a smile on her face: "This coat color and variety are special............ Special, expensive.
Of course, in the second half of the sentence, Gu Nanqin deliberately suppressed his throat and did not blurt out.
The Nangong family, which has always been known for its diligence and thrift, doesn't seem to be as harsh as rumored...... Anyway, he is willing to treat his stepwife.
The person who spoke seemed to have no intention, and the person who heard the word changed his face with fright: "This dog is just a wild dog obtained by a folk woman by chance, and it is not an unusual thing." It's just that, Your Royal Highness the Princess, it is more exposed here, and it will damage your phoenix body if you stand for a long time, so it is better for the women to dare to prepare a room for you first......"
"No need, just let her go to my house." Changle interrupted without saying anything, not caring at all about the mother-daughter relationship with Wang Jing.
Wang Jing said "yes" in a panic, and then asked someone to lead the way for the three with a lantern, and quickly found an excuse to hold the puppy and retreat.
"Your mother is interesting, she is reluctant to buy you a few clothes, but she is willing to buy herself such an expensive puppy." Gu Nanqin went to the side room in the courtyard of Changle, but he didn't give medicine to his arm first, but just asked the doctor to take a look at Xiao Zi'an's injury first.
Changle shrugged helplessly, but he didn't bother to say anything.
"It's okay, it's just that I've been drugged and rested for a while, and it doesn't matter." Xiao Zi'an decisively refused, and easily led the doctor to Gu Nanqin, which was half respectful and half forced, "The princess has a golden phoenix body, but you can't be lazy, the doctor should take the pulse of the princess first." ”
Originally, when the people in Changle invited the doctor over, they didn't say much who was seeking treatment, but only said that it was a distinguished guest, but now that Xiao Zi'an suddenly demolished it, the doctor was so shocked that even his hands began to tremble.
Gu Nanqin raised his hand to avoid his kneeling, but glared at Xiao Zi'an with slight annoyance.
Xiao Zi'an just didn't see it, and turned his head slightly to look away. If he didn't say so, the doctor might have to be pushed to his own place by the princess, and his diagnosis and treatment would have to be delayed. It's better to expose it in advance, and let this doctor decisively take the pulse of the princess, and he naturally doesn't dare to slack off.
How could Gu Nanqin not know what he was thinking, and even Changle raised his eyebrows slightly.
The two glanced at each other, and both saw a hint of complexity in each other's eyes.
Gu Nanqin's arms were covered with some external injuries, and after the doctor saw it, he hurriedly bandaged her, and asked the little boy to grab the medicine and make soup, so busy that his head was full of sweat.
It was Xiao Zi'an, who stood beside him indifferently, but his eyes were staring at the doctor without blinking, and he stared at the doctor until he broke out in a cold sweat.
"How are the guards of Nangong Mansion checking? …… Hey, did you find a chance to go up to the fourth floor? Gu Nanqin was stimulated by a medicinal powder, and her face twitched in pain.
"No, since we left, the fourth floor has been more heavily guarded. But my people saw a man go upstairs, although it was not a fancy official uniform, but it seemed to be a lot of money, and even the flower sorrow who grabbed you could only walk behind. Changle's mind turned slightly, and he sorted out his words eloquently.
Because Gu Nanqin chose not to wait for the people of the Nangong family to come to help, Changle also withdrew his guards, just asked them to pay attention to the movements of Wanhualou and come over to report at any time.
In addition to the flower sorrow, there must naturally be other people in charge in Wanhualou, but I didn't expect it to appear so soon.
"Man, ......" Gu Nanqin pondered with his eyes, the bandaging on the doctor's side had also been completed, and he wiped his sweat before he trembled and said: "Princess Qiyu, it has been bandaged, the decoction is boiling, and the little boy will bring it to the princess later, and the princess should drink it while it is hot." ”
Gu Nanqin nodded at Xiao Zi'an, and said with a smile: "Then you have to trouble the doctor to see for that person, he is the princess's guard, and the life and death of the princess are mostly in his hands......"
The doctor responded with a tight throat, and turned to take Xiao Zi'an's pulse.
Xiao Zi'an's face did not change, as long as the princess was cured, the rest was arranged by her.
