Chapter 68: I'll take care of this alone
"You remember the man who saved you and me last time."
"It's him!"
Bai Ruoshui replied thoughtfully.
Gu Nuan nodded.
"I'm not in good health, so you really have to thank him on behalf of the two of us."
Indeed, she should have thanked him well.
It wasn't until the night was getting late that Gu Nuan sneaked back into the courtyard.
"County Lord, you're finally back."
Gu Nuan nodded, and suddenly asked, "During this time, has anyone come to me?" ”
Green Yi frowned slightly, and then replied: "The queen mother asked you to come over for dinner together, but the slave refused according to what the county lord said." ”
"However, the slave maid has a little doubt, the queen mother not only did not ask, but also ordered her subordinates not to disturb the county lord."
Gu Nuan was shocked and did not speak.
Early the next morning, Gu Nuan received news that it was the prince of Beiyang Hou who was kneeling in front of the emperor's palace at this time.
Frightened, the pen in Gu Nuan's hand was a little unstable, and he hurriedly left everything in his hand and hurried to the front hall.
"Your Majesty, taking away the county lord without permission is my responsibility alone, and I am willing to bear it alone."
Lu Boting knelt on the ground and said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Well, since the son is so generous, why don't you ......"
"Wait a minute."
Gu Nuan panted and ran into the hall, and everyone was shocked.
Glancing at Lu Boting who was kneeling on the ground, Gu Nuan walked to his side, knelt down on both knees, and said: "It was my own idea to leave the palace without permission, and the prince had to take me out of the palace because of my persecution, and it has nothing to do with the prince." ”
Lu Boting looked at the person beside him with some amusement, lowered his voice, and couldn't help asking, "Why are you here, aren't you afraid of death?" ”
"Life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky."
Gu Nuan gave him a look and spit out a few words lightly.
Come on! I'm really not afraid of death.
Lu Boting was happy and said casually: "It seems that we are going to make a pair of outlaw mandarin ducks today!" ”
"Phew! Stick less gold on your face. ”
Lu Boting pursed his lips, his face still showing that carelessness.
"Ugly, this little master can't look down on it."
The interaction between the two was naturally seen by Xiao Min, and he slapped the table angrily and shouted loudly: "What are you two supposed to be here, one by one desperately wants to take responsibility, since this is the case, it is better to be punished together." ”
"Your Majesty."
The Queen Mother slowly walked into the hall with the support of her grandmother, Xiao Min's face softened slightly, and said, "The Queen Mother is here, isn't it for the two of you?" ”
"Your Majesty doesn't ask the reason, and he punishes the crime one by one, which is spread out to be indecent."
Although Gu Nuan didn't know why the Queen Mother came here, but now because of the Queen Mother's presence, her heart is a lot more stable.
"Then I'll ask the county lord, why did you leave the palace without permission?"
"Back to Your Majesty, Miss Bai Ruoshui of Baifu was infected with wind and cold due to the courtier's daughter, and she was sick in bed, and the courtier's daughter felt ashamed, so she had to go out of the palace to visit, and it had nothing to do with the prince."
The Queen Mother made it clear that she intended to protect Gu Nuan, and some time ago, Gu Nuan also made a lot of plans for the imperial court, so Xiao Min had to breathe a sigh of relief.
"The county lord is also a grateful person, since there is a reason for the incident, this matter will be stopped, but in the past, I asked the county lord to report it, and I am not such an unreasonable person."
Gu Nuan naturally could see that the emperor's words were just to give each of them a step, and he responded: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
This incident can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, not only was it not punished, but the emperor also returned the exit token in the Empress Dowager's palace.
When the two of them left the palace, Lu Boting suddenly asked, "Ugly monster, why did you come forward just now?" ”
"This incident started because of me, so naturally I can't move others."
Gu Nuan said indignantly: "Also, I don't call it an ugly eight......
"I know, Gu Nuan!"
It turned out that he listened.
The two looked at each other and smiled, speaking of which, this can be regarded as not knowing each other, because of these small turmoil, the relationship between the two has gradually become familiar.
"Gu Nuan, there will be a period later."
"Still, I think it's better to be ugly."
Lu Boting waved his hand, suddenly turned around and winked at her, and then walked away.
On the way back, I walked with the Queen Mother.
After being silent for a long time, Gu Nuan couldn't help but ask: "Queen Mother, you already know that I left the palace yesterday." ”
The Queen Mother just smiled and didn't answer, but the answer was already obvious.
"No matter what, Nuan Nuan still has to thank the Queen Mother."
Approaching the door, the Queen Mother said: "I knew you wouldn't give up easily." ”
Gu Nuan has lived in the Queen Mother's bedroom for half a year, and the Queen Mother is also seven or eight points familiar with her temperament.
As soon as the news was revealed, she knew how Gu Nuan could obediently listen to her and stay in the palace.
Now that he knew that Bai Ruoshui's body was fine, Gu Nuan didn't have anything to worry about, and from time to time he soaked in the bookcase and dozed off.
After the incident last time, Lu Boting ran to the palace as soon as he had some free time.
"Oops!"
Looking at the purple grapes rolling down on the ground, Gu Nuan covered his head and gritted his teeth and shouted, "Lu Boting! ”
"Oops! was discovered. ”
Lu Boting, who was sitting on the palace wall, ate the last bite of grapes, clapped his hands, raised his head high, and looked down at the people under the palace wall.
It was still a dazzling red, with a wanton smile, and the tear moles at the corners of his eyes were particularly dazzling.
"A dignified son, he doesn't learn literature and martial arts, but he runs to this palace three times in two days, doesn't this make people laugh out of their big teeth?"
Lu Boting didn't refute for the first time, propped himself up, jumped off the wall, and stood steadily in front of Gu Nuan, with a smile in his eyes, approaching the person in front of him step by step.
Gu Nuan's face was a little flustered, she reached out to his chest, and asked suspiciously, "What are you doing?" ”
Seeing Gu Nuan's flustered appearance, Lu Boting instantly became interested and pretended to tease her, until Gu Nuan's back touched the wall, Gu Nuan gritted his teeth and stepped on his instep fiercely.
Lu Boting was in pain, took a step back, and the wreath behind his back fell to the ground.
Gu Nuan was stunned for a moment, pointed to the garland on the ground, and asked with a puzzled expression, "This is?" ”
Seeing this, Lu Boting pursed his mouth a little aggrieved, picked up the garland on the ground, caught a glimpse of Xin Nuan on the side, pretended to sigh, and said: "It was a kind intention to send a garland, but it was misinterpreted by someone, and it was stepped on by someone, which is really sad!" ”
Gu Nuan's eyes were white, and there was a black line on his head, this guy was talking about someone, wasn't she talking about it?
Somewhat helplessly, he took the garland from his hand, and then put it on his head, raised his eyebrows at him, and said, "Thank you for the kindness of the prince, the little woman is grateful." ”
She was about to vomit when she said this.
Lu Boting looked at his masterpiece with great satisfaction.
