It was not obvious in the dim candlelight, and when King Qin approached, he could see the bloodshot spreading in his eyes, and his usually clean and neat chin had a cyan stubble coming out, looking haggard and tired. He sat in front of the bed with the medicine, his voice was as concise and clear as usual, so low and flat that he couldn't hear any emotion, "Get up and drink the medicine." ”

His handsome face like a knife and an axe is cold and diluted, and his deep eyes contain broken light, and the pupils are as dark as ink, so deep that they are not shocked. Instead of being angry and irritable because of her search for death and life, nor was he overjoyed by her escape from death, he returned to the coldness and indifference he had when he first met, making it unpredictable for people to understand his thoughts.

Caressing her still flat lower abdomen, Gu Qingyi lowered her eyelids to hide the complex emotions in her eyes, but the corners of her lips hooked up a bitter and embarrassing arc.

She is now struggling and has nothing but the child in her womb.

The atmosphere in the room seemed to be frozen, almost suffocating, Zhilan endured her fear, helped Gu Qingyi, who had been lying on the bed for a long time without moving, and half leaned on the bed, worried that the prince would be angry, and explained, "The girl has slept for two days, she must have no strength, Lord Wang, let the slave feed the girl medicine." ”

She stretched out her hand, and when she saw that King Qin did not react, she immediately understood, stepped back and stood aside, and stood aside respectfully, but Yu Guang was still paying attention to the two masters, afraid that they would have conflicts again.

Bai Muyun tasted it, then scooped half a spoonful and handed it to Gu Qingyi's lips, the dark brown smell of the decoction rushed to his nose, Gu Qingyi's brows frowned slightly, but he still opened his mouth and drank it.

I don't know if it's an illusion, just the moment she drank the medicine, the climate in the room suddenly changed from cold winter to warm spring, and the atmosphere became warm and warm, but she didn't think much about it, the soup in the entrance was extremely bitter, mixed with an indescribable strange smell, the nausea feeling went straight to the throat, and suddenly there was a sweet thing against her lips, she subconsciously ate it, chewed a few bites and found that this was candied fruit.

When he looked up, he saw King Qin's expressionless face, if it weren't for the fact that his fingertips were still stained with the residual red and sweet smell of candied fruit, it almost made people suspect that the person who handed over the candied fruit was not him, he just calmly scooped a spoonful of decoction again and handed it over, Gu Qingyi had no choice but to swallow the candied fruit in his mouth, suppressed the nausea in his throat, and drank it again.

It took a quarter of an hour to finally drink the small half bowl of medicine, and King Qin didn't say a word, left with the bowl, and never came back.

Slowly, Gu Qingyi noticed that something was wrong, and King Qin seemed to be deliberately avoiding her.

Before she got sick, she would always see King Qin a few times a day, and even eat lunch together, but after she recovered, she would never see King Qin again. He left the court early in the morning, ate in the study in the front yard at noon, and went to bed early in the evening, so naturally there was no chance to meet in the day.

Gu Qingyi naturally didn't think anything of it, she still went her own way, listening to the wind and watching the clouds as always, but the attitude of the people in the courtyard gradually changed, and their eyes were full of mockery.

One day when she was strolling in the yard, she saw two sprinkling women muttering together, and listened carefully, it turned out that they were discussing her fall from grace.

"But isn't it, how can a girl from a white family live in so nameless and scoreless, look at what they are called, the girl is long and the girl is short, not even an aunt, she is really not ashamed."

"That is, if it were me, I would have bitten my tongue a long time ago to protect my name, but she would still live in peace."

"Let me tell you, that Miss Gu must be pregnant, and the medicinal soup that has been boiled all day is not a fetal medicine?"

"Hey, no matchmaker, it's really shameless."

……

Siqing glanced at Gu Qingyi's expressionless expression, and hurriedly stood up and scolded, "Don't die, you dare to chew the root of your tongue, come on, take it down and play the top ten boards." ”

The two mothers-in-law even called for mercy, and were soon dragged down by the mother-in-law in charge of the criminal law, listening to the sound of the board snapping outside, Zhilan pouted unwillingly, "It's too cheap for them, Sister Siqing, this kind of person should cut off his tongue and sell it." ”

"The girl is now raising the fetus with peace of mind, and there should be no blood in the house, so as not to collide." Siqing explained, then looked at Gu Qingyi, pondering her expression, "Girl, what do you think of this treatment?" ”

Gu Qingyi glanced at her lightly, with a bit of sarcasm on her face, and said with a smile, "These two mothers-in-law are bold, knowing that I go to the yard at this hour every day, and dare to chew the root of my tongue, I don't know if it is an unintentional mistake or fearlessness." ”

Siqing's face changed, and she said calmly, "These two mothers-in-law are vulgar and uncivilized, so they offended the girl by unintentional mistakes, and asked the girl to relax and not take it to heart." ”

Gu Qingyi sneered, "Miss Siqing, please rest assured, I won't definitely not think of looking for a short time." ”

Siqing's face had regained her former calmness and composure, and she lowered her eyebrows and said, "This is the best, and the slaves and maids can be regarded as living up to the prince's entrustment." ”

Some time ago, no matter who was with her for King Qin, she was bound to turn her face, but now her expression was light, her eyes did not fluctuate, and she took Zhilan's hand and went back to the room.

Zhilan was afraid that she would be bored, so she secretly asked someone to buy a script on the street and come back to let her pass the time, Gu Qingyi probably flipped through it, the content is much the same, either an infatuated woman is a negative man or a lover will eventually become a family, most of the joys and sorrows of women are dominated by men, no matter how amazing and beautiful or noble, if it is not a person, it will be a miserable life.

In this world, women are always harsh.

The words in his hand have not been turned for a long time, Gu Qingyi was in a daze at the heroine's resistance, and did not look away until the lights dimmed and saw King Qin, who had not been seen for a long time.

She didn't panic at all when she peeked at the script and was caught, and only the stupid girl Zhilan felt that she was unaware of the fact that she was stealing the script, and her every move was under surveillance, how could King Qin not be aware of it.

Sure enough, King Qin's expression remained unchanged, her deep black pupils reflected her figure, and she was silent for a long time before she opened her mouth to inform her, "This king has asked to marry you as a side concubine, and my father has already complied." ”

Gu Qingyi held the book and suddenly clenched it, her fingertips began to white, and now, she didn't even have a way out. I couldn't think of anything in my head, and it wasn't until I bit my lower lip hard that I woke up from the stinging pain and barely had an idea.

"The courtier's virtue is lacking and she dare not take the position of the side concubine, and then she is willing to give birth to a child for the prince, and please be magnanimous and let me live."

Bai Muyun's calm face was dyed sharp, and he was frozen all over, "Let you live?" Did the king's child become an outer chamber of unknown origin? ”

Gu Qingyi was stunned, and her hands subconsciously touched her lower abdomen, and her expression was blank.

A complicated look flashed in Bai Muyun's eyes, and he glanced at her again and left, but Gu Qingyi was broken by this news to maintain his reason and calm, and he tossed and turned all night, until the third watch suddenly fell asleep.

On the second day, just after waking up, Zhilan came in to report to her, and said happily, "Girl, the prince has instructed you to go to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city today to recuperate, and wait until you have chosen a good day and an auspicious day before marrying you." ”

She dreamed like she was leaving the Qin Palace, but this news couldn't make her feel the slightest excitement at all, just changed to another cage and waited for the Autumn Queen to ask for a killing.

Even if she doesn't agree, so what.

Seeing her lack of interest, Zhilan suddenly became anxious, and hurriedly said good words, "Girl, the prince cares about you, the two mothers-in-law who chewed the root of their tongue a few days ago have now been beaten to death with sticks, and the prince can't see that you are wronged, and he specially entered the palace to ask the saint for a decree, how can ordinary people have such treatment." ”

Gu Qingyi was noncommittal, like a marionette, she asked the maids to wash and groom for her, probably knowing the news that she was about to become a side concubine, and they were all dedicated today, a little more cautious and complimenting than before.

The parcels and luggage of all sizes have been packed properly, and a total of ten maids and women have followed her to take care of her daily life, and Dr. Zhou, who has been taking care of her, is also going to go, and has taken the lead in the journey, and I heard that it has arrived in Zhuangzi.

Gu Qingyi was carefully helped out by Zhilan, and saw a blue-topped sedan chair parked at the gate of Jiyue Courtyard, and the four little servants stood in the corners with low eyebrows, their eyes did not dare to glance at them, and there was also an acquaintance, that is, Feng Ming, King Qin's personal guard.

As soon as he saw her, Feng Ming curts, his voice was cold and hard, and it seemed to carry a sense of resentment, "Girl, the prince asked his subordinates to protect your safety, the hour is not early, please get on the sedan chair." ”

It turns out that there are also stalking guards.

Gu Qingyi can confirm that she can't escape this time.

The little servants pressed down the sedan chair one by one, she could only put on the sedan chair with a wooden face, Siqing and Zhilan followed on both sides, only to listen to a low word, the sedan chair was lifted steadily and walked out, about a quarter of an hour later, it finally stopped at the gate of the palace.

The carriage was ready, and the other maids and women made a few more cars with their salutes and customary utensils, while Gu Qingyi took Siqing and Zhilan, who were waiting closely, to a Bao Gaihua car headed by him, but it was not the frame that King Qin was accustomed to, there was no sign of King Qin's mansion, and even the coachman was not Feng Ming.

But also, the dignified prince's personal guards were sent to monitor her and her women, and if she condescended to be her coachman, it would surely add to her resentment.

Even if Feng Ming is a guard, he is also a military attache of the grade.

Gu Qingyi didn't know that after the convoy left the street where the palace was located, a carriage with the brand of Qin Wangfu passed by her, and someone opened the curtain to look, revealing the two men sitting inside, who were the current crown prince Bai Xuanyu and Qin King Bai Muyun.
