Chapter Seventy-Four: Trouble in the Qiankun Palace
It's Murong, the black light is blind, what is he doing here?
Thinking that he had fallen into his arms, his thick and powerful arms tightly encircled her, his heart warmed, and he didn't answer the question first, but asked, "Why are you here?"
Letting her jump out of his arms, Murong reached out and touched her hair, which was smooth in his hand, and after a while, he slipped out, and said to himself: "I heard that someone bullied you today?"
Bullying? Gu Qing thought about it with heavy eyes, and she had met with Su Guifei, Zhao Gonggong and Liancheng during the day, she understood what she was talking about, and smiled easily: "You mean Su Guifei's matter? It's just a trivial matter, so why hold grudges?"
Looking back at the back of the wall, he made a silent gesture and pulled Murong to walk away.
"It's so late, why are you still in the palace?" Gu Qing asked as he walked. Subconsciously, I didn't notice that the action of pulling him was so natural, even if it was only a small corner of his clothes, it could also make Murong feel that she didn't treat herself as an outsider.
"I heard that you were bullied in the palace, and you just came out of the Qiankun Palace, and I was about to go to Ningxing Palace to find you. He said.
Gu Qing was startled and stopped and asked, "Why are you going to the Qiankun Palace?"
"Concubine Su deceived you today, I will not watch quietly, I must stand up for you. ”
Wu sighed to himself, it was rare for Murong to take her so seriously.
Gu Qing didn't look at him, it was estimated that he didn't ask for benefits when he went to Qiankun Palace, so the two walked one after the other, and the night stretched the shadow very long, and her shadow was wrapped in it, and she couldn't tell who was who.
"Getting along with people, bumps and bumps are inevitable, I bumped into Su Guifei first in the daytime, and now I don't care about it, why do you care about this?" She was a little dissatisfied with him going to the Qiankun Palace, and there was some complaint in her words.
Murong could hear it, but he didn't care, and said to himself: "I can't watch others bully you, but where is it hurt?"
After his question, Gu Qing turned around and stopped, the two faced each other, the dim candle flame reflected on the face, with a dim halo, which made people's eyes wander, and her cheeks seemed to be dotted with thousands of stars.
"Murong, since I got to know you, your attitude towards me has changed so quickly that I can't get used to it at all. I still like you who were cold in the past, not the person who only follows me and talks about me now. "At the end of the day, it's just about his attitude.
"You also told me that if I had known you, I wouldn't have wondered all this. But I didn't know you before, and you never told me that your kindness to me and all your concern for me made me feel very frightened and uneasy, and made me feel very unreal. ”
Her words, word by word, entered Murong's heart, and there was silence in the air for a long time, and the cold outline became obvious in the shadows.
Thinking about it carefully, she was right, she was too anxious.
Gu Qing knew that after he said it all, he might make him unhappy, but if he didn't say it, if he didn't make it clear between the two, it would only make the hidden danger deeper.
"Ah Qing, my deliberate approach will not bring you any harm, but your experience makes me feel unbearable, so I want to protect you and give you a sense of security. ”
"My experience?" She has lived in Gu Mansion since she was a child, and although she was treated with willow leaves when she was a child, she didn't let others arouse sympathy, right? His words were really more and more inexplicable.
"You don't understand anything now, you don't know anything, and when the truth comes out, you will naturally understand what I have done. ”
Speaking of which, he still didn't want to say all the thoughts in his heart.
Gu Qing was helpless, maybe her appearance was very similar to his old friend.
"I take your words to heart. All the time, I'll keep an eye out. The gentle sprinkling of the sentence already represents his regression.
She shrugged, okay.
He asked again, "What did you say to the emperor?"
Murong paused, "It's nothing, I asked about the situation." It's late at night, you better go back to Ningxing Palace. ”
"What about you?" she asked.
"I'm going home, it's getting late. ”
“...... Well, be careful on the road. ”
Until he saw Gu Qing's figure disappear, Murong was still standing in place for a long time. I met Gu Lin yesterday, and under his coercion every step, I reluctantly said Gu Qing's identity, it was really her.
During the day, he ran to the Qiankun Hall in a rage, pushed the door without notification, and saw the first batch of changes buried in the city, and he didn't say a word, strode forward and lifted his bookcase, and the folds were everywhere.
Then there is the inaudible sound of breathing.
He had never been so angry in front of Liancheng, and even on the day of his father's death, he only calmly cut off relations with him. Thinking about it, he was too impulsive, so blatantly seeking justice for Gu Qing, didn't he clearly push her outside?
With a deep sigh, he still wanted to let Gu Qing leave the palace as soon as possible, as long as there was Liancheng in one day, he would not be able to feel at ease.

The candle flame in Ningxing Palace has been bright, Gu Ning leaned on the bed, couldn't close his eyes, and looked up from time to time to ask, "Is Qing'er back?"
Xiaoyu said: "Not yet." ”
"Which concubine did the emperor go to?"
"The emperor has been staying in the Qiankun Palace, and later I heard that the prime minister went to make a fuss, and the slave and maid are not clear for what purpose. ”
Gu Ning said lazily: "Ming'er will go to Gonggong Zhao to inquire." Also, you help me pay attention to the relationship between the prime minister and Qing'er, if the two are really as rumored, this palace will have this good marriage with my father early. ”
The three words of good marriage, coming out of her mouth, were calm and unremarkable. There will be no future troubles by her side, she only wanted a personal person to take care of herself, so she let Gu Qing stay by her side, but she also forgot that her young and beautiful sister has always stayed by her side, which is also a hidden danger.
When Gu Qing returned to Ningxing Palace, the inner hall had been quiet, Xiaoyu was guarding outside, and when she saw her coming back, she said with a smile on her face: "Today, Niangniang is tired, so she went to bed in advance, and specially instructed the slave maid to say, when the third lady comes back, let the third lady go to the side hall to live, Niangniang smiled and said, lest she be afraid of arguing with the third lady at night." ”
"Second sister really said that?" Gu Qing's question came from outside the hall, and Xiao Yu spoke unhurriedly until the voices of the two disappeared completely.
Gu Ning lay on the bed, listening to the sounds outside from beginning to end, and finally slowly closed his eyes.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, the tassel stood in the light and shadow, dressed in light blue clothes, standing gracefully, and his quiet side face was very good-looking. Wei Cai leaned on the railing on the side, with grass in his mouth, and sometimes glanced out of the mansion gate.
She had been standing here for an hour, a full hour, and there was still no sign of the man outside the gate. In the afternoon, he just heard that the people in the palace had come to the palace to report, so he hurriedly left everything and rushed to the palace, and he didn't know what he was doing.
Tassel knew that nothing could sway him with his indifferent temperament, and it was precisely because of this that she was more curious.
The legs and feet were numb, the heels were sore, the tassel felt tired, lifted the corner of the skirt and sat down on the cold floor, Wei Cai hurriedly said: "Sister be careful of catching a cold." ”
"Nothing. ”
No matter how cold it is, it's cold in her heart.
After entering the Prime Minister's Mansion for half a year, she was nominally given the title of Mrs. of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but in fact it was like entering the cold palace.
I really don't know what Murong thinks.
I also heard that he recently provoked the third lady of the Gu Mansion, and if it is true that men are all virtuous, looking at this, they are obsessed with that.
A figure finally came out of the gate, striding in the darkness, stepping on the night light and dreams, step by step, giving birth to ripples. Tassel's eyes lit up, and then he disappeared quietly, and with Wei Cai's support, he reluctantly stood up and said, "Childe is finally back." ”
"Why haven't you rested yet? ”
Waiting for so long, waiting for such a sentence in vain, the tassel eyebrows were crossed, and she was reluctant.
"Is there something going on in the palace? I hurried in the afternoon, and I didn't come back until now. She muttered in the hope that he would take the initiative to talk about what he was doing in the palace.
Murong glanced at his eyes faintly, stepped up, and saw Wei Cai also waiting in the corridor, and said with a sinking face: "Are you very energetic at night?"
Wei Cai put his hands behind his back, like a child who had done something wrong, pointed to the tassel, and muttered for her: "My sister has been waiting for Childe for an hour, why does Childe have such an attitude......"
After hearing this, Murong exhaled slightly, his tone softened, and ordered, "Wei Cai, you go down." The tassel comes with me. ”
Wei Cai and Tassel glanced at each other, Murong seemed to be in an inappropriate mood today, Wei Cai said yes, and retreated with his head down.
The tassel followed him to the bedroom, which was the tassel's room, and the ornaments in it were all things that his daughter's family liked.
In order to break the dull atmosphere, Tassel took off the wind chimes hanging on the bead curtain, and said with a relaxed smile: "Childe, you gave it to me on the day we first met." ”
That day, through the bead curtain, she danced and shadowed, and her slender figure made Hao Erlang fall in love when he saw it, and he recognized it when he looked back.
Tassel knew very well, why did she come to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and why did Murong bring her back?
Seeing her say this, Murong also remembered that day, if it weren't for Wei Cai's sentence, "Childe, look, that woman is like my sister." He wouldn't bring her back, and even when he gave her a name, it seemed that he was harboring a kind of guilt and wanted to make up for her.
Later, I found out that it wasn't her, but I blamed myself for being stubborn and not checking it out.
"I didn't expect you to remember it clearly. ”
Tassel lowered his eyebrows, leaned over his lap, hung his head lightly, and said in a gentle tone: "Childe, you also said it." How can the lifelong events of my daughter's family be easily forgotten?"
Yes, she figured it out, it was already good that she could live a safe life in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but it was better than being hungry and cold outside.
Now, she just wants to hold on to the rope in front of her, and she doesn't want to force it anymore. It doesn't matter who is in charge of this country, who can tell the story of the previous dynasty?
The warmth from his knees made Murong slightly stunned, except for Ah Qing, no woman touched him so closely.
Her voice came faintly: "Childe, the tassel can't wait." ”
