In the thirty-third year of the Great Qi Dynasty, it was the middle of winter, and the heavy snow covered the entire capital in a blanket of silver.

Gu Qingxuan knelt down under the corridor outside the courtyard.

The north wind was howling, the snow was falling, and a little snow splashed down under the porch, and in a moment it turned into a water stain, and the cold air hit her face, and a few cold snowflakes fell on her face.

"Miss, let's go back, Your Highness won't see us." The maid Hongling held an umbrella, knelt down chokedly, and begged for the motionless woman beside her.

Gu Qingxuan raised her long eyelashes and shook her head gently, "No, now only His Royal Highness the King of Chu can save my Gu family." She stared steadfastly at the two doors of the study.

Hongling bit her lip, "But Miss, you've been kneeling for two hours." If you kneel down again, your body will not be able to stand it. There were tears in her eyes, "Miss, why don't we go back first, and then we can figure out a way when we go back." ”

"Hongling, you go to the concierge and wait, go quickly. If you don't listen to me, I'll sell you when I get home. Gu Qingxuan said in a low voice.

In the study, His Royal Highness the King of Chu, Xiao Chengyi, a man dressed in white, stood by the window, he looked at the woman kneeling under the corridor, frowned slightly, and said in a low voice, "Mo Yi, how long has she been kneeling?" ”

Mo Yi said in a low voice, "Master, Miss Gu has been kneeling for two hours. If she kneels like this again, I'm afraid she won't be able to stand it. ”

Miss Gu stood outside the gate of the mansion for three days in order to see her master, and the master read the loyalty of the Gu family before letting her enter the mansion and asked the housekeeper to persuade her to leave. It's just that I didn't expect Miss Gu to insist like this, kneeling under the corridor just to see her master.

"Since she likes to kneel, let her continue to kneel." Xiao Chengzhi spoke after a long time, his usual indifference, coldness, and ruthlessness.

Mo Yi glanced at Gu Qingxuan, the young lady of the Gu family, outside the door with some sympathy.

From the hour to the end of the day, Gu Qingxuan did not eat a drop of water or a grain of rice, and her legs were numb to her knees. The maid Hongling was also driven to the concierge by her, and she didn't let Hongling accompany her to suffer from the cold.

The door of the study slowly opened, Xiao Chengzhi slowly walked in front of her, staring at her condescendingly, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, the sharpness in his eyes flashed, and he said lightly, "What does Miss Gu want to ask this king for?" ”

Gu Qingxuan raised his eyebrows and looked at him, only to see him dressed in white, floating out of the dust. Her fingertips trembled slightly, and she said in a trembling voice, "Your Highness, please, please save my Gu family." As soon as she finished speaking, her eyes went dark and she fainted on the ground.

Xiao Chengzhi's brows furrowed slightly, staring at Gu Qingxuan, who had fainted on the ground, and sighed softly, "Mo Yi asked her maid to send her to the warm pavilion." There was a hint of concern in his tone.

Mo Yi bowed his head slightly and arched his hand, "Don't worry, master, I will let people take good care of Miss." ”

Xiao Chengzhi said "kindness" and walked towards the door.

The howling north wind blew the snow on the window lattices with a loud bang, and the icy cold wind blew in through the gaps.

Gu Qingxuan slowly opened her eyes and looked at the curtain a little sluggishly, she looked around hastily and struggled to get up.

Hongling walked in, saw her get up, and hurriedly said, "Miss, you lie down first, you have a high fever." ”

Gu Qingxuan grabbed Hongling's hand and asked, "What time is it, where is the prince?" Did he promise to save my Gu family? Her face turned pale, and word by word came out of her mouth.

"Chenshi," Hongling looked at her bloodless face and said distressedly, "Miss, you have a good rest, the third prince has not returned to Beijing yet, maybe there will be nothing to do when the third prince returns to Beijing."
