Chapter 56: He pretended to be in pain, wanting more attention from her
The magpie brought a basin of hot water for Chu Ling to wash his hands, so that the princess could wash up and go to bed early.
I'm afraid that the princess will be greatly stimulated because of today's events.
"No, the slave has never been to the black market, let alone met the black market lord."
"But the slave maid has also heard that the lord is also a powerful character, and he dares to do anything against the sky, even if the court does not dare to provoke him."
"The emperor even turned a blind eye and treated it as if he didn't see it."
It can be seen that the status of this black market in Western Chu.
Chu Ling hummed softly and lay down to rest.
She began to think that she could make a deal with the black market lord, especially ...... Cicada and apricot, she must hurry up and get her hands on it.
The magpie washed her and cleaned up.
When Chu Ling was in a daze, she noticed that someone was touching her face.
The man's fingers were clearly still calloused, and they were the hands that held the sword all the year round, and they were surprisingly gentle on her side face at this time.
Chu Ling wanted to pretend, but she felt that the man who had touched his face suddenly got up to leave, and she hurriedly opened her eyes and grabbed his wrist.
For a moment, it was difficult to hide the anxiety.
She just acted subconsciously, because she knew it was her, so she would be so bold to catch it.
She gripped his wrist hard, her eyes quickly catching his mask from the fog just now.
"Did this king wake you up?"
Seeing her open her eyes, Gu Yechen was immediately about to withdraw his hand, but was grabbed more tightly by Chu Ling.
"Where has the husband gone?"
"Looking for you." He gave an answer as soon as she finished asking.
Chu Ling's expression was slightly stunned, and he stared at his face for a long time before he whispered: "So that's the case, then I'll get up and give you medicinal bath and acupuncture now." ”
She stood, and he grabbed her shoulders.
Lonely Yechen's strength is not light, and Chu Ling can't get up even if he thinks about it.
"You don't have to do it today, you can rest."
"How's that going to happen......" Before she could finish her sentence, he was already lying down beside her.
It was not uncommon for the two of them to share the same bed, but today, Chu Ling felt that his state was a little different.
What is the difference, Chu Ling can't say for a while.
After all, when the man lay down, she had been unmistakably encircled in his arms and held firmly.
She leaned on his chest, listening to the sound of her heartbeat close at hand, and suddenly felt that the atmosphere at this time was very subtle.
……
Chu Mansion.
Because the whereabouts of Chu Ling were searched all day long, the people of Chu Mansion naturally learned the news early.
At this time, the night was thick, and Chu Changqing couldn't sleep a little, pacing back and forth in the courtyard.
"Big Brother ......"
Suddenly, Chu Wushuang's soft call came from behind him.
Chu Changqing, who was originally pacing back and forth with his hands in his hands, suddenly paused, he immediately lowered his expression, and nodded calmly, "What's the matter, Wushuang?" You still haven't slept so late? ”
He looked at her deeply.
In the night, the faint light of the hanging lanterns reflected on each other's faces.
Even under this dim light, Chu Wushuang looked extremely weak, as if the night wind would fall down.
She stepped forward lightly and grabbed Chu Changqing, "Big brother, aren't you still asleep, aren't you worried about your sister?" ”
Chu Changqing, who was suddenly hit by the thought, immediately brushed off his sleeves and said stiffly: "Nonsense, how can I worry about her?" ”
He snorted coldly, his face deliberately filled with impatience.
Even in the face of Chu Wushuang, he would never admit that he was worried about Chu Ling.
If he said it, it would seem that he cared too much.
Chu Wushuang pretended to smile in surprise, "Big brother, I'm your sister, you don't have to hide it like this." But I've heard that the regent has sent someone to look for her sister, and she will be fine. ”
She sighed, "I just heard that my sister was robbed by some robber, isn't that the robber fancy my sister's beauty?" ”
"Alas, my sister is really, I told her on weekdays that I must cover my beauty when I go out on the street......"
If he had heard Chu Wushuang say this before, Chu Changqing would have echoed nonchalantly, "She deserves it, this woman is deliberately going to the street to attract bees and butterflies", but at this time, he actually felt that what Chu Wushuang said was very harsh.
From the bottom of my heart, it made him feel uncomfortable.
"Wushuang, it's not too early, you should go back and rest."
Chu Wushuang was so keen, how could she not detect Chu Changqing's attitude towards her, her eyes immediately turned red.
She pursed her lips, "Okay, big brother, don't worry, I'm leaving." ”
She turned away aggrievedly.
Chu Changqing saw her weak and thin body in the night wind, as if she was about to fall down as soon as the wind blew, he suddenly felt guilty and immediately wanted to catch up......
But, in the end, I endured it.
He was annoyed that he had just spoken too much.
Chu Wushuang returned to the room, never expecting that Chu Changqing would not catch up and comfort her.
At this moment, she suddenly felt a crisis, and she suddenly felt that Chu Ling would snatch her eldest brother away......
How can that work, she has to stop it.
……
Chu Ling heard the magpie coming over to report the news when he was having breakfast.
"Princess, the slave maid heard that the carved villa was burned, it was so funny, the owner of the village heard that it was carried out in a hurry, and it was really his blessing that he was not almost burned to death."
This news made Chu Ling feel very good.
"I heard that the prince ordered it to be burned, the prince is too powerful!"
The magpie seemed to have seen that the princess would inevitably ask, so she told Chu Ling the truth without blinking her eyes.
Chu Ling really wanted to ask, but she didn't expect this little girl to say it directly before she could ask.
"I see......"
She also thought that it was the black market lord who did it.
Thinking of something, combined with the fact that Gu Yechen came back very late last night, she actually had some bold guesses in her heart.
"Today, the prince is retiring from the dynasty, isn't it? I'm going to see him. ”
She went to the study.
The man heard the movement and raised his head slightly.
"Why are you here?"
Chu Ling glanced at the medicine bowl in his hand, it had already bottomed out, she smiled and walked to Gu Yechen's side.
"There was no medicinal bath and acupuncture last night, and I was worried about my husband's body, so I came to make up for it today."
"Make up ......"
As soon as a word came out, Chu Ling bent down slightly and deliberately knocked on his knee.
Seeing that his long straight legs didn't react, she pinched his thighs even harder.
It was originally a temptation, but it hurt a little as she pinched.
The brows behind the mask of Lone Yechen frowned fiercely, she was really pinched by her, and even wondered if she had seen something?
"Husband, doesn't it hurt?"
Hearing the first words of his daughter-in-law's question, the man suddenly looked up and met her concerned gaze.
The words that were about to come out of Lonely Yechen finally became: "It hurts, it hurts." ”
He could have continued to be in a wheelchair and received more care.
But in the face of the concern in her eyes, he couldn't pretend anymore.
