Chapter Thirty-Eight: Save Him Again
As soon as Princess Wuyang left, the atmosphere in the hall became lively again.
A lady said to the people around her at this time: "Strange, hasn't Her Royal Highness the princess been at the border?" How do you know the young lady of the Su family? ”
"Isn't that companion of His Royal Highness the eldest grandson the young master of the Su family? It seems to be from the second room, and this seventh lady should be brother and sister. The lady next to her said guessingly.
"In this way, His Royal Highness the eldest grandson is still very satisfied with this companion."
Many people present agreed with this statement, because there was really no other reason to think of other than this possibility.
Mrs. Lin also heard everyone's discussions, and frowned slightly, Su Zhan and His Royal Highness the eldest grandson have a close relationship, which is not a good thing.
Su Yunlai followed Princess Wuyang, the two were silent all the way, and the little maid who led the way was about to cry, why did this errand fall on her?
The two walked all the way through the garden, and suddenly heard a delicate voice: "Brother Sheng, I'm about to get married, and then I can get married, can you tell Uncle Huang to marry me?" ”
"Li Anning, I haven't seen you for so many years, what have you done, and now no one in the capital dares to marry you?" Princess Wuyang asked suspiciously.
Su Yunlai glanced at Princess Wuyang's face, as if she was really seriously questioning, and couldn't help choking.
Lord Anning's expression froze, and he saw Princess Wuyang's face distorted: "When did you come back?" I talk to Brother Sheng, what does it have to do with you? ”
Princess Wuyang thought for a while and said seriously: "Of course it matters, I don't want you to be my sister-in-law." ”
Lord An Ning looked at her with a cold look in his eyes: "Whether I can be your sister-in-law or not is up to you!" I will definitely marry Brother Sheng! Just wait and call me sister-in-law! ”
Princess Wuyang said lightly: "The mouth is on me, whether I call you or not, I have the final say, but I can't wait to rely on the man, I see you for the first time, Li Anning, you can really embarrass our royal family." ”
Su Yunlai lowered her head and tried to make herself have no sense of existence, but through this incident, she understood a truth, what is called a wicked person has a wicked man, I have to say, it is really very happy.
"Am I a disgrace to the royal family? You stay in a place full of men at the border, and you don't know how to avoid it, and the face of the royal family has long been lost by you! An Ning said maliciously.
Li Sheng's face suddenly sank: "County Lord, please be careful!" ”
An Ning heard that Li Sheng was angry, and looked at her with an aggrieved face, "Brother Sheng! ”
Li Sheng said lightly: "Since the county lord also knows that staying with a man will ruin his reputation, the county lord should leave as soon as possible, the county lord is clear and jade, and it is not good to be talked about." ”
An Ning didn't expect Li Sheng to actually drive her, she looked at Princess Wuyang, who was watching the show, and finally paused and walked away in shame.
As soon as An Ning left, Li Sheng was obviously relieved, and he looked at Su Yunlai: "I've let you see the joke today." ”
Su Yunlai hurriedly bowed, and said repeatedly: "Your Highness, don't worry, I won't talk too much." ”
Li Sheng was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but laugh a little, why is this girl always like this...... So peculiar?
Princess Wuyang looked at Su Yunlai and then at Li Sheng, and couldn't help but think thoughtfully.
Li Sheng looked at Su Yunlai with a smile: "Why are you with Wuyang?" ”
Su Yunlai said euphemistically: "The princess came to the Lin Mansion for the first time, and I had the honor to show the princess the way." ”
"I asked her to come over, didn't you say it, your companion has a very smart sister, I just want to see her." Princess Wuyang told the truth very facelessly.
Su Yunlai glanced at Li Sheng with some flattery, but he didn't expect His Royal Highness the eldest grandson to have a very high evaluation of her.
Li Sheng's ears were slightly hot, and his expression was a little uncomfortable, and he secretly glared at Princess Wuyang: "You are messing around again, do you know that this will bring trouble to Miss Su?" ”
"It's just a guide, what's the trouble?" Princess Wuyang looked unimpressed, then looked at him with disdain and said, "I really don't know what the brains of people like you think, how can you come up with so many twists and turns?" ”
Li Sheng's calm face was slightly tense, and he squeezed out a smile: "Wuyang, I also received a letter from my uncle today, asking me if I want to send you back to Wuzhou, do you say that it is better to send you back and let your uncle discipline you well?" ”
Princess Wuyang immediately said, "I know, brother, I won't be so reckless next time." ”
Li Sheng smiled at her with satisfaction: "I know that Wuyang is the most well-behaved." ”
Su Yunlai glanced at Li Sheng with some suspicion, she remembered that Princess Wuyang was willing to go to Wuzhou in the past, but when she heard this, she looked very reluctant.
Li Sheng saw Su Yunlai's doubts, and explained to her in a low voice: "Wuyang has reached her age, and recently my uncle is looking for a husband for her, and I heard that none of his generals have escaped. ”
Su Yunlai suddenly realized, and there was a smile in his eyes.
Princess Wuyang said unhappily: "Uncle, that's nosy!" This is that there is no war in Wuzhou, he is too idle! ”
Su Yunlai pursed the corners of his lips, but he was smart not to hear it.
Li Sheng obviously didn't have much to do with Princess Wuyang, he looked at Su Yunlai and said with a smile: "But Miss Su is here, it's a coincidence." ”
Su Yunlai glanced at him suspiciously.
Li Sheng said: "I have been looking for the 'people who do not return', known as the ghost doctor, hoping that he can see a doctor for Ah Zhan, recently I got the news, I heard that he will go to Fahua Temple to incense recently, and he has some friendship with the abbot of Fahua Temple, but, you know, my identity is a little special, I am afraid that I can't personally go to help Ah Zhan seek medical treatment, this matter still needs your Su family to come forward." ”
After all, there are too many people staring at Li Sheng, and if he goes to seek medical treatment for Su Zhan in person, it will let people know that the relationship between him and Su Zhan is much better than the outside world thinks, which is a trouble for Su Zhan.
Su Yunlai is a smart person, and naturally understands this truth, but this is enough to make her grateful.
The ghost doctor has superb medical skills, and there are many people who come to him every year to see a doctor, but because he is obsessed with studying medical skills, his whereabouts have always been erratic, and many dignitaries and dignitaries want to see him but can't find him.
In the past, Su Yunlai also thought about finding this ghost doctor to treat Su Zhan, but he never had a chance, but he didn't expect to be found by Li Sheng.
She stood up, gave Li Sheng a serious blessing, and said sincerely: "Thank you, Your Highness, Your Highness has done enough, I thank Your Highness for my brother." ”
Li Sheng hurriedly stretched out his hand to support Su Yunlai's arm: "Miss Su, please get up, it's not a big deal, Ah Zhan and I have already fallen in love, this is my fate with him, it's just a gesture, Miss Su doesn't have to be like this." ”
Li Sheng said it easily, but Su Yunlai didn't think so, after she experienced the use and betrayal of her relatives, she already understood that no one in this world would pay for anyone in vain, let alone someone like Li Sheng?
"I still want to thank Your Highness, Your Highness's kindness, I don't dare to forget it!" Su Yunlai said seriously.
Maybe it was helpless for Su Yun to choose to help Li Sheng at first, but now, she has gradually felt that Li Sheng is worth it, even if his motive for helping is not so pure, but at least there is concern in it.
Li Sheng's current situation can be described as embattled, but he is still distracted to help a companion to find a ghost doctor, at least it shows that he is not exactly a person who puts interests first.
This made Su Yunlai feel very emotional, so her gratitude was so sincere.
Li Sheng smiled slightly, his warm face was like a spring breeze: "We have to thank you like this, I'm afraid that when the banquet is over, we won't be able to thank you." ”
Su Yunlai also felt a little funny, touched his nose, and then realized that his hand was still holding her arm, and couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.
Li Sheng inadvertently became a disciple, his face turned red all of a sudden, he let go of his hand, and muttered, "Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." ”
Su Yunlai hurriedly said, "I know that Your Highness is unintentional, I don't blame you." ”
Seeing that she was not angry, Li Sheng quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly glanced at her face, which was a smile on the corner of her beautiful face.
Li Sheng looked at her and gently hooked the corners of his lips.
Princess Wuyang looked at Li Sheng's expression and couldn't help but show a thoughtful expression.
"It's getting late, and we should go." Princess Wuyang suddenly spoke, paused, and then answered expressionlessly: "If you stay any longer, Lord Lin is afraid that he will misunderstand that you are going to smash the field." ”
A smile flashed in Su Yunlai's eyes, but after a pause, she looked stunned and said to Li Sheng with a straight face: "Cousin, please rest assured, Your Highness." ”
Li Sheng raised his eyebrows, looked at her and asked jokingly, "Is this a thank you gift?" ”
"No," Su Yunlai replied without hesitation, and after a pause, she said meaningfully, "My thank you gift won't be so simple. ”
Li Sheng opened his mouth, and suddenly wanted to ask, then do you know what I want as a thank you gift?
Li Sheng smiled slightly: "Then I'll wait." ”
Su Yunlai nodded, looking serious.
Li Sheng said: "Then Wuyang and I will go back first." ”
Su Yunlai nodded, thought about it, and said, "But I have something to ask the princess for help." ”
Princess Wuyang blinked.
Princess Wuyang and Su Yunlai returned to the hall where they were entertained, and as soon as they returned, they attracted everyone's attention, and Princess Wuyang found Chen.
"Mrs. Su, I haven't been back to the capital for a long time, and I want to ask Su Yun to accompany me to the city." Princess Wuyang said to Chen.
The calm tone didn't give people any room for refusal at all, just like informing her.
Chen looked at Su Yunlai with some concern, and Su Yunlai nodded slightly at her.
The princess's invitation cannot be refused, even if the Chen family is not at ease, there is nothing to be done at this time, "The princess can see Ah Wan, this is her blessing." ”
Princess Wuyang had a deserved expression on her face, and then took Su Yunlai and left confidently.
Su Yun looked at Princess Wuyang's back, and couldn't help but be a little thoughtful, and always felt that Her Royal Highness the princess's style seemed a little familiar.
Su Yunlai successfully left the banquet with Princess Wuyang and went straight to Fahua Temple, she didn't plan to leave when she went to Fahua Temple today, anyway, there was Her Royal Highness the Princess as an excuse.
It's just that I didn't expect that Princess Wuyang didn't leave when I arrived at Fahua Temple.
"I haven't been back to the capital for a long time, so it's time to look around." Her Royal Highness the princess said solemnly.
Isn't that an excuse? Su Yunlai was speechless for a while.
Su Yunlai and Princess Wuyang stayed in Fahua Temple, and in the evening, Princess Wuyang personally sent someone back to Su Mansion to say goodbye, and everyone in the whole mansion except for the Chen family was really worried about Su Yunlai, everyone else was thinking about the meaning of this matter.
Su Yunlai didn't care about any of this, he just wanted to see the ghost doctor as soon as possible, sometimes it was stupid to wait for the rabbit, but it was the most effective way.
It's just that Su Yunlai waited for seven or eight days, during which the Chen family came once, and when he saw Su Yunlai, he was relieved, and then he was coaxed away by Su Yunlai without saying a word.
On this day, it was almost dark, and Su Yunlai was thinking in the wing room that the ghost doctor didn't come today, Jun Yao hurriedly walked in: "Miss, I heard the monk just now say that the abbot is going out." ”
Su Yunlai stood up suddenly, since she came to Fahua Temple, the abbot has never been out, he went out for no reason, could it be...... The ghost doctor is coming?
Su Yunlai couldn't sit still anymore, so she hurriedly stood up, put on a cloak and walked out, Jun Yao hurriedly stopped her: "Miss, you won't be going out now, right?" It snowed outside the day before yesterday, and it hasn't melted yet! ”
"I can't care so much, where did the abbot go?"
Jun Yao bit her lip, and then said, "I heard that I went to the back mountain......
Su Yunlai nodded, "Jun Yao, don't follow me, stay in the wing, if someone asks, just say I'm resting, do you know?" ”
Jun Yao, who has always been obedient to Su Yunlai, disobeyed her for the first time: "I want to follow Miss," After a pause, she said again: "This is a temple, as long as we blow out the lamp, others will think that we are resting and will not come in to disturb, anyway, I must follow Miss." ”
Su Yunlai didn't want to debate this with her anymore, so he agreed to take her with him.
The sky was not yet dark, Su Yunlai and Jun Yao left through the back door and walked up the back mountain, because there were few people coming and going on the back mountain, the snow on the mountain was very thick, and the two of them walked one foot deep and one foot shallow.
Further up, to pass through a forest, the woods are covered with shadows, looking eerie and terrifying, Jun Yao swallowed his saliva, but still bravely walked in front with a lantern.
……
Princess Wuyang was reading a book in the room, and suddenly the door was kicked open, Wuyang raised her head and couldn't help frowning: "Gu Junyan, do you know that you knocked on the door?" ”
Gu Junyan didn't care: "Didn't you enter my room like this?" ”
Princess Wuyang: "......"
The so-called wicked have their own wicked grinding, and Gu Junyan is the leader of the wicked.
"Where's Miss Su?"
"Not on your own vacation." Wuyang asked suspiciously, after a pause, she was surprised: "Not here?" ”
Gu Junyan turned his head and left, asked the little monk in the temple, and sighed in his heart: "She won't go to the back mountain alone, right?" ”
Gu Junyan hurriedly walked like a back mountain, and as soon as he walked into the woods, he suddenly noticed a light and shadow flashing in front of him, and his expression was awe-inspiring, it was the reflection of the sword!
Instinctively, he leaped and dodged the attack.
In an instant, seven or eight black shadows poured out of the woods, Gu Junyan's expression was grim, and the corners of his mouth showed a murderous coldness.
Su Yunlai ran back in a panic, and suddenly heard the sound of a fight in front of her, Su Yunlai hid behind a tree, and saw Gu Junyan fighting with people, she thought about it and quietly turned around and left.
After a while, I saw a burst of fire from the bottom of the mountain, and the sound of noisy footsteps.
Gu Junyan was taken aback, and said with a sneer: "My people have arrived, don't even think about running away today!" ”
When the man in black heard this, he glanced at each other, and invariably began to retreat, Gu Junyan stepped forward and chased after him twice, and Su Yunlai hurriedly ran out and grabbed him.
"Hurry up, what are you chasing!"
Gu Junyan was stunned when he saw Su Yunlai: "Why are you?" ”
"Who do you think it is?" Su Yunlai glanced at him, pulled him and walked out: "Let's go, don't talk about it, they will be in the law system in a while." ”
Gu Junyan looked back, it turned out that the fire just now was set by Su Yunlai, "What's going on with the footsteps." ”
"It's the sound of a stone hitting the ground." Su Yunlai replied casually.
Gu Junyan couldn't help laughing, looked at the nervous Su Yunlai, and muttered, "This is the second time you have saved me." ”
Su Yunlai didn't hear it, he pulled him away, and he didn't know if the group of people reacted, and they actually returned halfway!
Realizing that she had been deceived, the man in black became angry and attacked the two directly, Su Yunlai had never experienced such a thing in her life, but she couldn't do anything except control herself not to scream and cause chaos for Gu Junyan.
Gu Junyan took Su Yunlai to restrain his hands and feet, and retreated one after another, even so, he tightly protected Su Yunlai, and finally retreated to the edge of the cliff.
Seeing that the man in black was attacking, Gu Junyan flashed back, and his center of gravity fell directly, Su Yunlai instinctively grabbed his hand, and was actually taken down by him.
The moment she fell, Su Yunlai thought about it, and she didn't know if she had a chance to do it again, so she calmly closed her eyes and covered the unwillingness in her eyes.
When Su Yunlai woke up and found that she had been woken up by heat, she blinked and found herself lying in a cave-like place with a fire lit next to it.
And General Gu Shao sat on the side, and the firelight reflected his face, looking particularly handsome.
Su Yunlai sat up with her body propped up, and the last memory came back, she lowered her head to check herself, and didn't seem to find any pain, and then quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Of course you're fine, you hit me when you fall." Gu Junyan watched her movements and said calmly.
Su Yunlai thought about it, looked at him and said, "Seeing that the young general's movements are so agile, it shouldn't be a big deal to think about it, then I'll be relieved." After speaking, he nodded matter-of-factly.
Gu Junyan: "......"
Gu Junyan couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.
Su Yun looked around, and then said, "Where are we now?" ”
"We fell from above, but luckily there was a tree next to it, and we landed on the tree, and then climbed into this cave, and we didn't deserve to die."
Su Yunlai nodded, and suddenly she remembered something, and stood up suddenly: "No, I can't stay here, I want to get out quickly!" ”
Gu Junyan raised his eyebrows, when he met the killer just now, Su Yunlai had never been so flustered, why was he so anxious now?
"Get out? How can we get out, we are now inside the cave, and there is snow outside, and we can't climb out at all. Gu Junyan raised his eyebrows and said, "You're still dead." ”
Su Yunlai shook his head: "No, I must go out, Jun Yao is still trapped in the mountain!" ”
"Jun Yao?" Gu Junyan was stunned for a moment, only to know that she was talking about the maid beside her, and he glared at her: "You are really thoughtful, you actually brought a maid?" Didn't run up the hill by yourself! ”
The mockery in his tone was so obvious, Su Yunlai thought for a while, and whispered: "I wanted to come by myself, who knew she would have to follow." After a pause, she bit her lip: "Jun Yao fell into the trap on the mountain, I'm so worried about her, young general, please think of a way, she will freeze to death if she is alone in the trap." ”
Gu Junyan: "...... Do you know you're reckless now? ”
Su Yunlai bit his lip and didn't speak, but his eyes were full of chagrin, "Young General, no matter what, please think of a way." ”
Gu Junyan sighed and walked out to give a signal.
Su Yun watched his movements and couldn't help glaring at him: "Aren't you helpless?" ”
"yes, I just don't know if this signal is my men or those men in black." Gu Junyan said innocently.
Su Yunlai sat back with a dejected face, looking at the warm fire, she was anxious, and for the first time she had a sense of chagrin, she had always been smooth, so it was inevitable that she overestimated herself, this time she had an accident, she thought too much of herself and hurt Jun Yao.
"Now you know that you are wrong, don't be so reckless in the future, no matter how smart you are, you are just a weak woman, can't you rely on others?" Gu Junyan couldn't help but educate.
Su Yunlai opened his mouth, and finally turned his head and said, "If it were you, would you hand over your fate to others?" ”
Who knew that Gu Junyan actually nodded without hesitation: "Of course, on the battlefield, I will give my back to my comrades-in-arms, trust them as if I trust myself, if I can't do this, what kind of battle will I fight!" ”
Su Yunlai smiled bitterly: "Not everyone can do what you say you trust." ”
"You did it," Gu Junyan said, "Didn't you come back today to save me?" If you said that, you should have run away on your own, but you didn't, and you came back to save me. ”
Su Yunlai opened her mouth, but she couldn't say anything to refute it, at that kind of emergency, in fact, she should leave quietly by herself is the clearest choice, but she turned around to save him.
"This time, I didn't threaten you with a dagger." But Gu Junyan actually added with a smile, there was a light in those dark eyes, which was dazzling and she couldn't move away.
