"Qi Qing, do you really want to eat something?"
"ah… "
Gu Qiqing, who was sitting by the window, turned around and saw Zhu Chengxuan standing in front of her, asked her tenderly, got up hastily, shook his head and said, "Your Highness, you don't have to worry if you can't eat more."
"oh… "
Zhu Chengxuan was a little disappointed.
He just heard that there are filthy things in Yikun Palace, when the imperial concubine asked him to take Qiqing and Xinping sister back to his Yikun Palace, he was overjoyed, and finally he was able to entertain her as a landlord.
So, as soon as I came back, I put exquisite refreshments on the table.
But Gu Qiqing didn't eat any of it.
She just sat by the window all the time, looking at the gradually darkening sky outside, with a very worried expression on her face.
He thought for a while, and then said, "Then, let's have some hot tea."
"..."
"I see that your face is not very good either."
Seeing his sincerity, Gu Qiqing was too embarrassed to refuse, so he reached out for a cup of tea and said with a smile, "Thank you, Your Highness."
Zhu Chengxuan just smiled.
Turning around, he saw Xinping was already sitting at the table, eating his mouth full of dim sum, couldn't help laughing, walked over and hugged her on his lap, and wiped her mouth.
Seeing this scene, a smile appeared on Gu Qiqing's face.
But in my heart, I still can't relax.
Just now in Yikun Palace, Zhu Chengxuan may have been ecstatic when she heard Ran Xiaoyu say that there were filthy things inside and asked them to come to Chengqian Palace, but she suddenly became worried.
filth
What filth
When she remembered that when they went ashore after skating, she found that the imperial concubine had already left, and hearing that Si Muzhen had left a long time ago, she felt even more uneasy.
Faintly felt that this matter might have something to do with Si Muzhen.
This sister, I don't know what happened in the palace again.
If you behaved mischievously at home, you would be beaten or kneeled in the ancestral hall at worst, but if you behaved mischievously in the palace, you would be beheaded.
Even more terrifying, it will harm relatives!
Although there is no news yet, Gu Qiqing's palms are already covered with cold sweat.
"Qingqing."
Suddenly hearing Zhu Chengxuan's gentle voice from behind, Gu Qiqing turned around and saw him smiling at her gently, and then said: "No matter what happens, you don't have to worry."
"..."
"There is a noble concubine."
"..."
Gu Qiqing looked at him, his eyes flickered slightly.
Although Zhu Chengxuan didn't say it clearly, he seemed to have seen something from the very beginning, but he didn't say anything.
Come to think of it, as the king of Wei, why hasn't he experienced it
Hearing his comfort, Gu Qiqing felt a little relieved and nodded, "Thank you, Your Highness."
Zhu Chengxuan looked at her and slowly turned his head away again, still looking outside, there was actually a word in his heart that he didn't say—
As a last resort, there is me.
However, as the king of Wei, he is only a king of Wei, and he can't do anything for her at all.
So this sentence, still did not come out.
And at this moment, the young lady of Yikun Palace heard that Fu came in from the outside, and kowtowed to them and saluted: "My maidservant pays respects to His Royal Highness King Wei, and to His Royal Highness Princess."
Seeing him, Gu Qiqing immediately stood up.
Zhu Chengxuan asked: "Tingfu, what happened to Yikun Palace?"
Ting Fu smiled and said, "It's nothing."
"Then you are-"
"The imperial concubine told me that it's getting late, and I'm sending Miss Qi Qing out of the palace."
"ah… "
Hearing this news, Zhu Chengxuan couldn't help but sigh.
Although he knew that it was impossible for Gu Qiqing to stay in the palace overnight, he still hoped that she could stay a little longer, even if she didn't speak, it would be better if he stayed by her side.
He said, "Let's go so soon."
"..."
Hearing what he said, Ting Fu could only laugh along with embarrassment: "It's getting late, and the imperial concubine is worried that the road will be difficult."
"Oh, that's right."
Zhu Chengxuan smiled embarrassingly.
Seeing him like this, Gu Qiqing felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
However, this was not what she was most worried about. As soon as Ting Fu came over, she was asked to leave the palace and go home immediately. What about Si Muzhen
So she stepped forward and asked, "By the way, where is sister Muzhen?"
"Her?"
When Si Muzhen was mentioned, even Ting Fu showed a look of disdain.
Being a servant in the palace, naturally I see a lot of everything, and I am not surprised, but as the younger sister of the imperial concubine, she is also a lady of a famous family, if she does such a thing, don't say that the imperial concubine is angry, even their slaves will feel it Next work.
Seeing his expression, Gu Qiqing's heart skipped a beat.
Quickly asked: "Her, what's wrong with her?"
Ting Fu only said: "The imperial concubine has explained, the carriage is already ready over there, let Ms. Gu go first, and Ms. Si will be there soon."
"oh… "
Hearing that Si Muzhen was still able to leave the palace, Gu Qiqing was slightly relieved.
She is still young, and she only thinks that if a person is still alive, nothing major has happened, but she doesn't know that the undercurrent under the calm lake is the most dangerous and deadly.
However, she looked back again.
Sure enough, Zhu Chengxuan showed a look of reluctance on his face.
But it's hard to say anything, so I can only say softly: "Your Highness, the girl will leave."
"You, are you leaving now?"
"The imperial concubine has already explained."
"oh… "
Zhu Chengxuan was a little downcast, but Gu Qiqing felt that his hand was being grabbed, looked down, but Xinxin Ping ran up to him at some point and grabbed his fingers.
"Miss, come and play with me often."
Seeing her so cute, Gu Qiqing couldn't help laughing.
"As ordered."
After saying goodbye to them, he followed Ting Fu and left Chengqian Palace, walked a long way in the twilight, and arrived at the gate of the palace, where the car was already parked.
However, unlike when we came here, there are two carriages here.
Gu Qiqing was stunned for a moment: "This is—"
Ting Fu said: "This is the order of the imperial concubine. Miss Qi Qing and Miss Si will take separate cars on this trip back."
"..."
This sentence, this arrangement, seemed to tell Gu Qiqing that something had happened.
She became more nervous about her mood, and didn't dare to ask any more questions, and obediently got into the carriage in front of her.
As soon as she sat down, she heard footsteps coming from outside. She hurriedly moved to the window and opened the curtain to look out. She was startled.
Si Muzhen came over.
She was wrapped in a wind cloak, which was tightly wrapped from head to toe, like a rice dumpling.
what happened? Are her clothes dirty
Just when Gu Qiqing was puzzled and was about to ask, Ran Xiaoyu came with Si Muzhen. She walked to the window of Gu Qiqing's carriage and handed a letter to Gu Qiqing.
"This is-"
"Miss Gu, this is what the concubine concubine told you, please hand it over to your lord Gu."
