Chapter 7: Ascendant

Gu Qingcheng slept beautifully, and the fatigue of the journey was swept away.

In the early morning of the next day, the morning light was faint, and Gu Qingcheng woke up.

As soon as she raised her eyes, she could see the delicate begonias in the courtyard.

Strands of gold, through the petals, through the window lattice, teased her face.

Her mood is like a begonia flower, blooming happily.

Yun Jin and Zhi Ruo came in to serve her to freshen up, and Zhi Ruo looked at Gu Tingcheng and said:

"Miss, you must have been frightened last night. Do you sleep well at night? ”

Gu Tingcheng looked at the careful Zhiruo, and suddenly thought about it, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly:

"It's okay, after all, I was too tired, so I fell asleep. I don't know how Sister Le Yao's injury is? ”

"I heard that it was called for a night, and it didn't stop until dawn." Zhi Ruo said, with an uncertain look on her face.

"Fortunately, we are also tired, otherwise, we would not have wanted to sleep all night due to the noise." Yun Jin said with luck.

"Sister Le Yao must be in pain." Gu Qingcheng looked at the two girls quietly.

Are they all Liu Rushuang's henchmen? Are they all against themselves?

Who was the girl in Xin Yao's mouth before she entered the door last night, or the two of them?

She hadn't noticed who had opened the door.

"Well deserved!" Yun Jin whispered, "I didn't expect that as soon as Miss Allure came back, they were uneasy and kind, and they actually wanted to cut off Miss Allure's hair." Without hair, how is it different from a nun? The third lady is so vicious. ”

Zhiruo suddenly laughed with a hint of doubt: "Evil has evil retribution, why did you say that the third miss stabbed the scissors into the fourth miss's shoulder armor." ”

Zhiruo seemed to be talking to Yun Jin, but her eyes glanced at Gu Qingcheng.

"yes, it's a pleasure to think about. You say, how can there be such a stupid young lady? Yun Jin stroked his palms and smiled backwards.

"Don't say that, let Madame hear it, and she will punish you." Gu Qingcheng slapped them lightly and whispered.

The two girls immediately fell silent.

"They are not very stupid, the door is locked well, and they can pry the door in, but they made a mistake in their busy work and accidentally injured Sister Le Yao." Gu Tingcheng seemed to say casually.

Gu Tingcheng noticed that as soon as his words fell, Zhi Ruo's brows frowned slightly, and he quickly glanced at the small door.

And Yun Jin hummed a little song softly, folding the futon for her briskly.

Gu Tingcheng glanced at Zhiruo thoughtfully.

In the morning, Gu Yuqing waited for Gu Tingcheng to get up before having breakfast together, and looked at Gu Tingcheng with guilt and said:

"Sister Allure, big brother knows that as soon as you come back, he will ......" he paused.

didn't say anything about Xin Yao Leyao going to assassinate her, and finally said:

"Xin Yao Leyao is not sensible, don't worry about them, the eldest brother will protect you in the future."

Gu Qingcheng nodded silently.

Gu Yuqing hastily ate breakfast and went to Guozi Taixue.

After breakfast, Gu Tingcheng saw Liu Rushuang.

Liu Rushuang looked tired and didn't sleep all night.

"Allure, did you freak out last night?" Liu Rushuang was duplicitous to appease Gu Qingcheng, this was Gu Zhongnian's consciousness.

Gu Zhongnian lost his temper last night, scolded Xin Yao Leyao for being ignorant, and scolded Liu Rushuang for teaching her daughter no way, which frightened Gu Qingcheng.

Liu Rushuang was extremely angry: "Master, what's wrong with you?" My daughter was injured, why did she frighten Gu Tingcheng? ”

"Foolish! After all, Allure and the King of Nan'an still have a baby kiss, although the family matter has not yet been finalized, Allure is the one who Lu Zuo Zhaoyi wants to invite back after all, what if there is a good Lu Zuo Zhaoyi and does not withdraw from the kiss? How do you make a hand?

I also understand that you want to take the initiative to withdraw from your relatives and give up your relationship with King Nan'an to Chu Yao, but everything has not yet settled, and you can't mess around.

Xin Yao Leyao is too much, cut off Allure's hair, even if she goes to withdraw from her family, how can we explain to Lu Zuo Zhaoyi. ”

"Master, it's not that I want Allure to take the initiative to withdraw from his family, it's that Lu Zuo Zhaoyi's words have this meaning, and I want our Chu Yao to take his place."

Liu Rushuang was aggrieved in every way at that time.

"You don't want to think about how a girl who grew up in the countryside is worthy of the king of Nan'an, who has a prominent status and is a dragon and a phoenix among people.

Our Chu Yao knows books and etiquette, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, all of which are all knowledgeable, and his talent has already spread throughout Pingcheng.

Moreover, my cousin Yihun is already a light cavalry general, and he is deeply respected by His Majesty and the King of Dongping.

No matter what you say, it will help Chu Yao, and it will also become the future support of King Nan'an.

Lu Zuo Zhaoyi weighed the pros and cons, so she had the intention of letting Chu Yao take her place. ”

"If you think about it, your words are not unreasonable." Gu Zhongnian's anger slowly subsided.

"Therefore, Allure took the initiative to withdraw from his family, and no one criticized the royal family for not believing in his words, and His Majesty and Niangniang would not lose face." The willow is like frost, and the tongue is like a spring.

"I can only be wronged." Gu Zhongnian said again, "No matter what, Allure is frightened, you can appease her tomorrow." After all, isn't this pro still not returned? ”

"Good, good."

She didn't dare to disobey, and listened patiently to the master's teachings.

She had not slept all night, she was very haggard, and she wanted to rest at home. Thinking about it, she can't drag it out for a day, she must send Allure to the palace today and withdraw from Zhaoyi Niangniang, so as not to have too many dreams at night.

Therefore, when I see Allure today, I will say comfort.

Gu Qingcheng was uneasy, and said in a cowardly voice:

“…… Last night, there was a lot of blood, I don't know what happened to Sister Le Yao's injury? She must have been in pain. ”

It's rare, this little girl still has some conscience, Liu Rushuang gritted her teeth:

"The bleeding has stopped, and the doctor said that it will take some time to recuperate, and it will be fine."

"That's good." Gu Qingcheng breathed a sigh of relief, her worry was written all over her face.

"Have you had breakfast?" Liu Rushuang asked with concern.

"I've eaten it." Gu Qingcheng replied obediently, and glanced at the girl holding the clothes beside Liu Rushuang.

"This is the new dress that your mother made for you, you change your clothes, and your mother will take you to Lu Zuo Zhaoyi's mother to retire."

Liu Rushuang glanced at her girl.

"Yes." Gu Qingcheng looked at the new clothes.

Cheesy pink.

Yun Jin took the clothes and went back to the room with Gu Qingcheng to change clothes.

Gu Tingcheng thought about the conversation between Xin Yao and Le Yao last night, and already understood that they wanted the beautiful and elegant Gu Chuyao to take her place and marry the king of Nan'an.

No wonder Liu Rushuang didn't sleep all night, and she had to take her to withdraw as soon as possible with a haggard face.

She is afraid of long nights and dreams.

I took off the dark green dress and came out with a pink dress.

Liu Rushuang was drinking water, and when she saw Gu Qingcheng in front of her, the water in her throat almost choked.

She originally made a wide cloth dress, which was still an unbearable pink, and she wanted to disgust Zhaoyi Niangniang when she saw it, and the family immediately retreated.

Unexpectedly, this little girl tied a delicate belt around her waist, and the skirt didn't look so wide.

And ordinary people wear the unbearable pink, her snow-white skin is so pink and tender, but it looks delicate and lovely.

She gritted her silver teeth in a smirk.

He clenched his fist fiercely.

In an instant, she changed her smiling face again, after all, she was going to the palace to withdraw from her relatives, and she couldn't make any extraneous branches.

"Allure, where's your Yujue?" Liu Rushuang looked at Gu Qingcheng's slippery neck and asked.

"Lost ......," Gu Qingcheng snorted.

"What?" Liu Rushuang's eyes widened angrily, and she had long since lost her pretending to be gentle and kind, "You actually lost it?!" ”

Yun Jin and Zhiruo were anxious next to them.

Yun Jin hurriedly helped explain:

"Madam, on our way back, we encountered a weapon fight at the Shuozhou border, and many people died, and we were almost killed.

Miss Allure was caught by them for a while, and I think that Miss Allure's Yujue was probably lost at that time. ”

"Yes, we've always seen Miss wear it before, it's a very precious phoenix blood jade." Zhiruo also explained, "Steward Li also saw it. ”

"Yes, yes, madam, I saw Yu Jue when I received Miss Allure," Steward Li, who was waiting next to him, also helped, after all, if there was no Miss Allure at that time, they would have become unjust souls, "It should have been caught and lost by those people on the way back." ”

"I'm sorry." Gu Tingcheng was soft and glutinous, as if Liu Rushuang scolded again, she was about to cry.

"Really?" Liu Rushuang glanced at Steward Li again.

Seeing Steward Li's affirmative nod, Liu Rushuang suppressed her anger.

Even if you don't have Yujue, you can withdraw from your family. She just wanted to replace Gu Tingcheng as soon as possible and give way to her precious daughter.

"Butler, prepare the car," Liu Rushuang finished speaking and squinted at the anxious Gu Tingcheng: "Let's go." ”
