Gu Qingyi didn't know that the danger was approaching, and took Siqing and Zhilan all the way back to Yusheng Courtyard, and the slaves and maids who were waiting in the courtyard heard the movement and came out to salute, all of them looked excited and emotional, and the eyes of the first old lady and maid were already full of tears, and their mouths kept saying, "God bless, girl, you finally returned safely." ”

"Mama, Handong, I've worked hard for you these days."

Mama Xu is Gu Qingyi's nurse, Han Dong is her daughter, she grew up with Gu Qingyi, the mother and daughter have an extraordinary relationship with her, and it is estimated that only they are sincerely worried about her in the entire Yusheng Academy, and the others are just pretending. In her previous life, she knew that her cousin was surrounded by these two caring people.

Mama Xu wiped her tears with a handkerchief, her eyes were almost glued to Gu Qingyi, and she kept saying that she had lost weight, and choked up, "The slave maid was entrusted by Mrs. and did not take good care of the girl, so that the girl was victimized by the villain, and suffered so much in vain." ”

"Mama is silent, I'm just going to live in the nunnery and recuperate my body, why should I suffer." Gu Qingyi saw that Mama Xu couldn't control her emotions, her eyes swept over the people who had stretched out their ears around her, and her eyebrows faded, "You guys go down." ”

The subordinates were reluctant to leave, Gu Qingyi's eyebrows and eyes were sharp, his dark eyes seemed to contain swords and frost and snow, with a terrifying coercion and coldness, everywhere he looked, everyone was terrified, they didn't dare to stay anymore, they hurriedly retreated, and disappeared in an instant.

Mama Xu found out that Gu Qingyi's mood and bearing were different, not only did she not think about it, but she became more and more distressed, if it wasn't for a major setback, how could her original soft temperament become such a sharp appearance, and I don't know how much suffering she has endured outside to have this transformation.

Hiding her sadness and worry, she hurriedly held Gu Qingyi's hand and said, "Girl, don't stand outside, go back to the room to rest." ”

Even after two months away from home, the boudoir is still clean and tidy, without the slightest dust, which shows that it is often cleaned. Gu Qingyi walked around the room and found that the room was as before, no different from the last time she visited.

On the desk there is a book "Huainan Miscellaneous Notes", which is a travelogue of the mountain dwellers, recording the mountains and rivers in the Huainan area and the customs of the characters, which was originally her collection of books when she was Yan Shunhua, and was later borrowed by her cousin.

Time flies, as if in another world.

Mama Xu saw her red eyes, and she was a little puzzled, "Does the girl miss the princess?" ”

Seeing that her expression was wrong, Mama Xu immediately fell silent, and the rumors outside were uproaring, even the subordinates of the Gu Mansion had heard of it, she didn't understand how the good sisters who had a lot of friends in the past became today's enemies of life and death, but the young lady was obviously depressed in her heart, otherwise she would not have seen things sad.

She hurriedly changed the topic, "The girl must be tired after a long journey, so it's better to go and rest first." ”

Gu Qingyi shook her head, took off her shoes and sat on the soft floor, picked up the miscellaneous notes again, and looked at the miscellaneous notes, there were small notes from her and her cousin, the cousin wrote a hairpin flower in small letters, and the handwriting was graceful and graceful, like her shy and timid character, but between the small characters in this line, she occasionally saw the coquettish jokes, and always taught her to think of her cousin who was holding her arm and coquettish, and tears couldn't help but fall.

"Girl, you are not in good health now, you must not hurt your mind."

Zhilan was startled by her, and hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears for her, and seeing that she was still in a state of mind, she hurriedly looked at Mama Xu for help.

Although Mama Xu didn't know the two new maids, she saw that the worry in Zhilan's eyes didn't seem to be fake, so she carefully persuaded Gu Qingyi a few words, Gu Qingyi barely stopped her tears, and the depression in her heart more or less dissipated.

She didn't like to shed tears before, but she got into her cousin's body and cried at every turn, and I don't know if it was affected by her cousin's temperament or because of pregnancy. Thinking of this, she touched her lower abdomen, which had not yet bulged, and a soft color flashed in her eyebrows and eyes that she had not noticed.

Han Dong came in with a basin of hot water, waited for her to wipe her face, Gu Qingyi recovered her spirits, and truthfully introduced the identities of Siqing and Zhilan, when she got married, she would have to bring a slave and maid to accompany her, Mama Xu and Han Dong must be included, the identities of these two people can't be hidden, it is better to be honest as soon as possible. Besides, she is now constantly taking medicine, and she still needs Mama Xu to cover up.

Mama Xu's face was full of suspicion, Gu Qingyi gave her a look, waved several people away, and only briefly told her what had happened in the past two months, before she finished speaking, Mama Xu couldn't cry, hugged her and cried, "My poor girl, those people have been tortured by a thousand knives and thieves, how can they bear to treat you like this." Why didn't God open his eyes, let my girl suffer so much in vain. ”

"Alright, Mama, it's all over." Gu Qingyi patted her on the back and kept comforting, and at the same time did not forget to instruct, "Mama, this is a secret matter, you don't want to spread it to the outside world." ”

Mama Xu wiped away her tears, her eyes were red, "Girl, please rest assured, the slave knows the depths." After speaking, his eyes fell on her flat lower abdomen, his face was both happy and uncomfortable, and he asked worriedly, "Did King Qin say when he would take you in?" If you delay it any longer, you won't be able to hide it when the month is old. ”

"It shouldn't be far off."

With King Qin's meticulousness, she will not ignore this, but now she is glad that she is only married as a side concubine, if it is a concubine, the etiquette and procedures will be more cumbersome and cumbersome, and if you want to get married, you have to wait until next year, and I don't know if she still has a life at that time.

Losing discipline before marriage and having children before marriage, any one of them is enough to sink her.

Mama Xu was a little relieved, and told her to rest well, so she went out to decoct medicine with Siqing, there are many people in the yard, and many mothers-in-law are experienced, just smelling the smell of medicine can guess one or two, if there is no cover from her, exposure is only a matter of time.

Zhang's mother is unkind, it is Gu Qingyi who is a thorn in the flesh, I don't know how many spies are planted in the yard, and it is difficult to survive if you are not careful. After spending an afternoon sorting out the relationship between the people in the courtyard, Gu Qingyi realized how difficult her cousin's life was, no wonder she had developed such a weak temperament.

At night, Gu Qingyi only left Handong to be on duty at night, maybe because of the change of environment, she always remembered her cousin, she couldn't sleep, and she didn't know how long it took to fall asleep in a daze, and she woke up in the middle of the night feeling thirsty, so she shouted, "Handong, water." ”

The sound of the kettle pouring sounded, and a glass of water was handed over in a moment, the water temperature was a little cold, she swallowed it in her mouth for a while before swallowing, and drank a glass of water slowly, just about to pass the cup over, she was startled by the person in front of her.

The falling cup was quickly caught by the other party's eyes, and even the exclamation was suppressed in the thick palm, Gu Qingyi was shocked, his chest rose and fell violently, his eyes widened and looked at the man who was close at hand, and took advantage of the gray moonlight to vaguely see the man's angular face.

"Don't be afraid, it's the king."

The man's voice was low and hoarse, with an innate coldness and indifference, which was even colder in the middle of the night, but it miraculously soothed Gu Qingyi's restless heart - seeing the man's tall and blurred figure in the middle of the night really frightened her.

The hand covering his mouth had already been removed, and Gu Qingyi breathed a sigh of relief, and asked in a low voice, "Why is the prince here?" ”

King Qin didn't reply to her words directly, but asked, "Has Gu Kangwen ever embarrassed you?" ”

Hearing him call his uncle's name, Gu Qingyi was a little uncomfortable, but he also knew that he was caring about her, and his heart became more and more complicated, and he shook his head gently, "No." ”

"Has the child ever tossed you?"

"Nope."

Asked and answered dryly, the two of them had nothing to say, the atmosphere suddenly became weird, King Qin's momentum was too strong, even if he didn't say a word, he had a tendency of oppression and coercion, Gu Qingyi's hair all over his body was on guard, his fingertips unconsciously picked at the patterns on the brocade, and his head was thinking messily, why didn't he leave?

Although she has accepted her future, she still can't get close to King Qin.

Just thinking about it, King Qin suddenly mentioned the wedding date again, "The date is set for the ninth day of the sixth month." ”

I counted on my fingers, and there was only a month left. Gu Qingyi didn't know what to say, it wasn't a matter of good fortune that the left and right were not three media and six hires, and they didn't need to worship their parents. However, she still squeezed out a smile on her face, "Thank you for reminding the prince, the courtiers know." ”

Although it is a side concubine, the wedding dress still has to be embroidered, but it can't be red, it's just pink, and it's not very grand, a month's work is more than enough, and she has time to sew a few purses as a reward.

In the dark night, he couldn't see King Qin's expression clearly, and vaguely noticed that he was a little unhappy, and his whole body was cold, Gu Qingyi pulled the quilt tightly without moving, only to hear King Qin's voice that didn't distinguish between joy and anger and said, "After paying homage to your relatives the day after tomorrow, you will stay at home to get married, no matter what happens outside, don't pay attention to it." ”

Gu Qingyi frowned, and finally couldn't help but say, "Now that the case of the crown princess's theft has not been solved, it is difficult to guarantee that Fu Yin will not send me to ask questions." ”

"What does it have to do with you if there is no evidence." King Qin said lightly, "You can raise the fetus with peace of mind, don't worry too much." ”

Gu Qingyi thought about it, and finally nodded, "Got it." ”

King Qin finally had nothing to say, and after staying for a while, he left, there was no trace in the dark night, and he went silently, Gu Qingyi woke up, and thought that last night was just a dream.

It wasn't until she tentatively asked Han Dong who was keeping vigil and listened to her panicked plea that she knew that she had slept dead last night, presumably drugged, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to hear the sound of talking.
