Chapter 41: I'll Help You

The ancestral hall was silent, and unknown insects made a brief chirping sound. There was a slight rustling sound of wind blowing between the branches and leaves. The quietly burning candle flame flickered inexplicably, startling the young man.

He turned his head to stare at the dancing candle flame for a while, then turned his head to look at the young man, and said with a haha: "Okay, okay, don't make trouble, we all saw Miss Gu Si jumping around, what is a dead man....." He shook his head and looked at the other party nervously, "You, you, are you saying that Miss Gu Si is dead now?!" We're lateβ€”"

"Shut up."

Shen Huai's tone was as cold as ever, but it contained a bit of compelling momentum. There was a cold sweat behind the man's back, and when he touched Shen Huai's sight, he realized what he had said, and quickly closed his mouth and silently moved a few steps back.

Glancing at Luo Feng lightly, Shen Huai's gaze fell on the young man again, with a little scrutiny.

The young man's hand that was taking the pulse trembled involuntarily, and he raised his courage and rolled his eyes: "What is the matter if you tie people back and stay here to be punished by the cold?" What's the use of you staring at me, her body is so bad, it stands to reason that she shouldn't be alive now. ”

Taking his hand away, the young man's eyes looked at Gu Mingxiu in his arms, frowned and said: "This girl's physique is very special, and there is a strangeness that I can't say....her heart pulse is extremely weak, and she should not be able to detect anything when she is diagnosed on weekdays. ”

Shen Huai said: "Keep her." ”

The young man glared at him: "I am not Hua Tuo's reincarnation, she is not poisoned and sick, but an old illness for many years, where can I keep it?" It needs to be nourished, and it can be cultivated quietly. ”

Shen Huai was silent, he lowered his head and packed up his things, suddenly looked up and looked around, and glanced at Shen Huai meaningfully: "I heard that the fighting method in the house is the most powerful, seeing that she is now punished to kneel in the ancestral hall, and there are so many people guarding the door, if you want to cultivate yourself here, it looks impossible." ”

Luo Feng nodded silently behind him.

Judging from his intelligence, Gu Mansion is a tiger's den, and the people in it are all jackals, tigers and leopards, all of whom are people with bad intentions who are difficult to treat each other sincerely, and they can't tear their faces if they are alive. In his opinion, this matter is much more difficult to fight than the battlefield.

The breathing of the girl in her arms gradually stabilized, Shen Huai lowered her eyes, and a little unclear emotion appeared in her eyes. His big hand quietly held Gu Mingxiu's hand and placed it on his chin, his eyes were light and indescribably complicated.

Seeing this, Luo Feng arched his hand: "Master, let's retreat first." ”

After that, he turned a deaf ear to the protests of the young man, stretched out his hand and dragged the other party's collar out of the ancestral hall neatly, and stepped on a few stones in the courtyard and flashed out easily, without making a sound.

The ancestral hall is back in peace.

Shen Huai closed his eyes and took off half of the mask on his face, revealing a handsome face.

His dark eyes were slightly pale, and the cold jade generally did not contain half of his feelings, mixed with cold and cold feelings. However, when his gaze slipped slightly, and when he fell on the person in his arms, he swept away all the coldness, and his dark eyes rose with a little inconspicuous brightness and tenderness, as intoxicating as delicious wine.

"Can't you remember me?" The boy asked in a low voice, his fingertips slid onto the girl's quiet face like greed, "Little liar." ”

It seems to be said through gritted teeth, with a little imperceptible trill.

Her face was cold to the touch, Shen Huai frowned, and a bit of internal force appeared around her body.

The warmth wrapped the whole person under the big cloud, and the sleeping and somewhat unstable person moved his head slightly, leaning on Shen Huai's arms to find a more comfortable posture and quiet down again. Xiu's eyebrows frowned slightly, a little uneasiness swept up her eyebrows, the girl raised her hand and grabbed the clothes on Shen Huai's chest, and murmured in a low voice: "Your Highness..."

A tear ran down her cheek.

Stretching out his hand to wipe away the tears, Shen Huai's eyes became colder and colder.

Gu Mingxiu looked back again in his dream.

In the cold and lonely hall, the man stood behind the desk in a gorgeous dress, with the usual tenderness on his face. She knelt barefoot on the cold ground, her long hair uncombed and scattered behind her as she slipped and hung down on the ground. The ground was cold, and she was thinly dressed but unaware of it, just begging softly: "Your Highness, please." ”

"Xiu'er, they committed the great crime of rebellion, it's not that I won't help...."

Gu Mingxiu shook his head: "Your Highness, you know, you know that General An is not that kind of person, please Your Highness." ”

The palm of the hand touching the ground is a chill to the bone, but it is far less than the bottom of the heart. She straightened up, tears streaming down her face, and stared at the person with a gentle smile: "Your Highness! Mulan is dead, I can't protect her, just because the wings are dissatisfied, and now we can obviously save General An, Your Highness, you-"

"Xiu'er." The man interrupted her in a gentle voice, "You know, if we make a move at this moment, we will anger my father, and our previous plans will be in vain. ”

The plan was in vain..... Gu Mingxiu looked at the person behind the table in a daze, but at this moment he felt that the other party was so strange. Her center of gravity was unstable, she sat back slightly, and laughed at herself: "Your Highness, all the calculations were made by me, you know clearly whether I know whether it is okay or not...you know it, as long as you agree, we will be able to get out of it!" You're planning to force the palaceβ€”"

"Ill-groomed, running barefoot to make a lot of noise, have you forgotten your etiquette?"

"Someone, send the crown princess back to the palace."

Her eyes changed slightly, and hatred burst out. Gu Mingxiu also got up, and was about to rush towards the man. It was dark all around her, and she suddenly couldn't move, and she was firmly tied behind her, and in front of her was a noisy and dirty crowd, through which she saw dozens of headless corpses lying on the cold ground.

She saw General An's dead head.

My heart contracted for a moment, and my fingertips trembled. Gu Mingxiu suddenly straightened up and opened her eyes, her breathing was still a little chaotic, her body was trembling slightly, and her eyes were scattered around without focus and purpose. There was cold sweat rolling down his forehead, wetting his somewhat messy sideburns.

"Slow down your breathing, you're just having a nightmare." A pair of hands rested on her shoulders, and a deep voice softly soothed her.

Gu Mingxiu clenched her fists and slowly slowed down her breathing. She blinked, raised her eyes to look to the side, and immediately met a pair of eyes with a little carelessness, and there was even a bit of a wicked smile at the end of her eyes: "What a coincidence, the fourth miss of the Gu family." ”

The young man was wearing a dark coat, and at this moment he gave her half of it. He sat lazily beside her, one leg crossed, the other bent, his arms resting casually on his bent knees. They were so close to each other that she seemed to have slept on his shoulder all night.

A little annoyance flashed in his heart, and Gu Mingxiu quickly took two steps back. She didn't have the strength yet, and she felt that she was too collapsed to stand up, so she simply sat like that, with a little coldness on her face: "Unfortunately, His Royal Highness King Xiao, this is the ancestral hall of my Gu Mansion." ”

Shen Huai raised his eyebrows: "Gu Mingxiu, you treat your life-saving benefactor like that?" ”

Seeing her eyes sank, Shen Huai smiled lazily: "I passed by last night, I came down to rest, I don't want to see a person who is about to die here, this king is in a good mood and saves her life, and he kindly guards her for one night..... but he doesn't want to be treated like that." ”

Gu Mingxiu frowned, she knew that she had fainted last night, but she was not sure of King Xiao's intentions.

Facing the other party's meaningless gaze, Gu Mingxiu said lightly: "His Royal Highness King Xiao, what do you want?" ”

In the previous life, there was no contact with Shen Huai, the king of Xiao. This Royal Highness is the younger brother of today's son, ranked twenty-one, after the Son of Heaven ascended the throne, he was the only one who survived, but he rarely participated in political affairs, and preferred to stay at the border to fight with the army.

Xiao Wang Shen Huai is young and promising, but he is extremely handsome, and there are countless admirers in Beijing, but this person has a rather bad personality, indifferent and ruthless, and has never saved any face for anyone. He lives casually and freely, the Son of Heaven has never criticized him harshly, and the officials don't like him but dare not say anything.

Shen Huai's Jinyi guards are all iron-blooded soldiers, without exception.

King Xiao is a man of the Son of Heaven.

Gu Mingxiu helped that person murder the Son of Heaven in his previous life, but he would definitely not do so in this life. She and Shen Huai have no conflict of interest, and they can't talk about any friendly relationship. If she could have made less trouble, she would have been reluctant to provoke this person.

When Shen Huai heard this, he sneered: "The Gu Mansion has been moving a little bit lately. ”

Gu Mingxiu realized in an instant, she had regained her composure, and she still had that calm look on her face. Stretching out her hand to straighten her sideburns, she said: "Gu Qingyuan has not stood in line now, but he is quite friendly with several ministers in the DPRK and China, and the prime minister's family must pay attention to it." Facing Shen Huai's gaze, Gu Mingxiu said lightly, "If you want to move the Gu Mansion, I can help you, but not now." ”

"You want to pull out?" Shen Huai asked.

Gu Mingxiu glanced at him: "I'm so tired of being here, but I won't send myself to death with me." It's not worth it to have a Gu mansion. ”

Shen Huai raised his eyebrows and sneered: "General's Mansion? ”

Gu Mingxiu bowed his head: "At this moment, the General's Mansion has nothing to do with the Gu family, and it will not have anything to do with it in the future, His Royal Highness King Xiao, if you want to move the Gu Mansion, please feel free, but the General's Mansion....I still hope that His Royal Highness will consider it again." ”

She said very calmly, but Shen Huai heard the threat underneath.

The smile in his eyes became thicker: "You are not afraid of this king at all." ”

"Why should I be afraid of a ....." Shen Huai's gaze fell on her face without scruples, with a bit of deliberate lightness. Gu Mingxiu clenched the fists on his knees, and his voice was cold, "Dengzi, what?" ”

A stone was thrown at the other side of the wall, and it slammed lightly against the lamppost with a slight sound.

The two looked at each other at the same time, Shen Huai got up and said: "If you want to fight for your life, I will leave some strength, in the end, it will hurt your body, I will hand over this medicine to your maid who is guarding outside, and remember to take it after cleaning up the person you want to clean up." ”

Shen Huai's eyes were dark, and they fell lightly on her face.

"As long as you ask, I will always help you."
