In one room, withered grass was scattered, torn to pieces and scattered all over the floor, making it a mess. There were also some scone crumbs and water bottles scattered among them. A toilet in the corner was also knocked over, and the stench filled the room.
A disheveled woman wearing a white cotton robe was crawling around on the ground, giggling alone, as if looking for crumbs among the weeds and lint, but turning a blind eye to the two people who came to the door. turn a deaf ear. Occasionally she would find some crumbs mixed with soil, and she would giggle a few times in surprise and swallow them with one mouthful.
He was so dirty and smelly that he was even more disgusting than the lowest beggar!
"General, general..." The eunuch hurriedly explained for fear that Qin Mubai would be angry, "His Majesty the Emperor said that he was afraid that the princess would hurt someone with something she brought, so she only sent cakes for meals and water only in leather bags. Thrown in through the window..."
"Get out! -" Qin Mubai roared angrily, slapped the eunuch in the face with his backhand, and threw him out of the door. He screamed several times and fell heavily into the yard. He spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with blood. Broken teeth.
This loud roar also shocked many people. There are women in coats, and there are also these eunuchs on duty. Everyone was shocked and could only stand and watch from a distance.
Qin Mubai frowned and took a few steps into the hut.
The roar just now finally attracted Princess Gao Yang's attention. She suddenly stopped moving, still lying on the ground and raising her head blankly. Most of her face was covered by messy and dirty hair. She used to have a pair of smart and beautiful eyes, looking at Qin Mu blankly. white.
Qin Mubai walked over and squatted down.
"Your Highness Princess..." Qin Mubai stared at him and called softly.
Princess Gao Yang rolled her eyes twice. Her face was as pale as paper, stained with a lot of mud and cake crumbs, and she stared blankly at Qin Mubai without saying a word.
"Gao Yang, don't you recognize me anymore?" Qin Mubai's voice became softer and deeper, mixed with endless sadness and guilt.
Princess Gao Yang rolled her eyes twice again, tilted her hand, and put her right index finger to her lips, as if thinking hard.
"Ling'er, I'm Mu Bai." Qin Mubai stretched out a hand, slowly touched Princess Gao Yang's face, wiped away some dirt and cake crumbs for her, and pushed the loose hair behind her ears.
"Mu Bai? Mu Bai?... You are Mu Bai! Wow wow wow!!!" Princess Gao Yang suddenly shouted with excitement, desperately threw herself into Qin Mubai's arms, and hugged him with all her strength. , and then burst into laughter!
"Mubai!"
"You are Mu Bai!"
"You are really Mu Bai!!!"
…
Princess Gao Yang was really very strong, and Qin Mubai actually felt suffocated when she was holding him!
At this moment, tears almost burst out of his eyes...
"Yes, it's me! Ling'er, I'm back!" Qin Mubai hugged her too.
"Woooo! I'm so scared! I'm so scared!" Princess Gao Yang buried her head in Qin Mubai's arms, repeating the words 'I'm so scared' all the time!
“Don’t be afraid, I’m here, I’m here, don’t be afraid!…”
…
The eunuchs and women who were watching were all shocked!
Princess Gaoyang didn’t know Concubine Yin or the emperor—she actually knew this Qin Mubai!
At this moment, she seemed not crazy again!
"Why are you still standing there? I'll go and inform the Imperial Concubine and His Majesty the Emperor that Her Highness Princess Gaoyang's condition has improved greatly!"
"Yes! If you report this good news, you might be able to get a big reward! Go!"
Several eunuchs whispered urgently, and then ran away together, not caring about the situation here.
…
Princess Gao Yang hugged Qin Mubai tightly, wishing she could embed her body into his bones and flesh and never leave him again. His little hands used all their strength to grasp until his knuckles turned white, and he cried loudly, with tears streaming down his face!
The cry was so heart-breaking that it let out all the suppressed emotions in her heart.
Six out of ten of the women in clothes who were watching covered their faces and sobbed, while the others who were more mature shook their heads and sighed, lamenting endlessly.
"Linger, be good, stop crying, ha!" Qin Mubai patted Princess Gaoyang's back and whispered in her ear softly.
"You are finally back. If you don't come again, I'm afraid I won't be able to see you again." Princess Gao Yang poked her head out, her face looked pale and withered, her hair seemed dry and yellow, and her lips were gone. The color of the blood was dry and scabbed, but I still couldn't stop crying.
"I'm back, aren't I? And, hold you tightly, don't be afraid, don't be afraid of anything." Qin Mubai said with a smile.
"Thief military academy, stinky man, I hate you!!!" Princess Gao Yang suddenly shouted angrily, opened her mouth and bit Qin Mubai's shoulder.
pain! ! !
It hurts so much! ! !
Princess Gaoyang's bite was really painful to the bone!
But Qin Mubai didn't move at all, and even reached out to gently stroke her hair, saying softly: "Vent, let it all out. Once you've finished venting, you'll be fine."
Princess Gao Yang seemed to be biting his shoulder with all her strength, even her cheeks were trembling. Upon hearing these words, his movements suddenly stopped. She raised her head, still staring blankly at Qin Mubai with her mouth open and wide eyes, tears streaming down her face.
"You!... Why didn't you avoid it?! Why didn't you stop me?!"
"Why should I avoid it?"
"Don't you know that hurting you hurts me more than hurting myself?"
"If it can make your mind more stable, I would rather be bitten by you and keep biting you."
"Idiot, idiot, you are a pig! I hate you, you are the stupidest man in the world!" Princess Gao Yang cried loudly again, and fell into Qin Mubai's arms again, crying like a mess.
All the women in clothes covered their faces and sobbed together. Several younger girls seemed to be crying more sadly than Princess Gaoyang. The older Huanyi girl finally had some ideas and hurriedly dismissed these people to do their own business, leaving two or three people waiting outside the hut, waiting to be served.
"Linger, be good, don't cry now." Qin Mubai held her in his arms, wiped the dirt and tears from her face with his hands, and said softly, "Are you hungry?"
"I'm so hungry!! So hungry!" Princess Gao Yang nodded repeatedly in Qin Mubai's arms.
"Then what do you want to eat?"
"I want to eat Jishan's braised lamb tripe and braised fish, as well as large steamed buns stuffed with salty dried meat!"
Qin Mubai turned around and waved to the woman in clothes outside the door. Those people nodded in agreement and trotted away to prepare meals.
"Then do you want to take a shower and change clothes?"
"I want it, I want it!" Princess Gao Yang continued to sob softly in Qin Mubai's arms and muttered vaguely, "I want to be washed clean and wear the big cloak you gave me. The unicorn-embroidered war robe is so majestic and warm!”
"Okay, everything is fine." Qin Mubai stroked her hair and said, "Then let's leave here first, okay?"
"I don't!!!" Princess Gao Yang showed strong resistance and hugged Qin Mubai tightly, "I don't want to go outside! People outside don't like me, don't want me, and there are devils who want to kill me! "
"Where is the devil in broad daylight? Don't worry, I'm here, don't be afraid of anything!"
"I don't, I won't! I won't go out even if I die, I will stay here!"
…
Qin Mubai had no choice but to obey her, and asked the women in clothes to bring a large chair, put clean and comfortable bedding inside, and then put Princess Gaoyang in and wrapped her tightly. The weather was cold, and she rolled around on the cold and damp ground. Her skin was bruised and bruised in many places on her body, and she became purple with frostbite. Then, the enthusiastic laundry ladies hurriedly came in, cleaned up the hut, and filled a large bathtub with steaming warm water.
"Your Highness, please take a bath and change clothes!"
Princess Gao Yang, however, held Qin Mubai's hand tightly and refused to let him go out. She looked at him eagerly and almost begged, "I want you to help me wash it."
Qin Mubai looked embarrassed, bent down and stroked her face, and said with a smile: "Be good, let the sisters-in-law here wash it for you, okay? I'll wait outside the door and won't go far."
"No! I want it!"
"If you don't listen, then I really have to lift my foot and leave, right?"
"Okay!..." Princess Gao Yang curled her lips and nodded reluctantly, "Then you are not allowed to go far, I will call you, you have to agree!"
"OK!"
"Also, after I take a shower, you have to come in and help me dress up!"
"That's okay too!"
"You have to comb my hair, apply powder, put on earrings, necklaces, gold hairpins, and jade rings, and you have to draw my eyebrows!"
"Okay, everything is okay!"
…
For half an hour, Qin Mubai stood outside the cabin, answering Princess Gaoyang's calls from the inner room from time to time.
"Mubai, are you here?"
"exist."
"Are you really here?"
"It is indeed there!"
"Hehe, I'm almost done washing it!"
Qin Mubai took a long breath and finally showed a slightly happy smile: Finally smiled!
At this moment, a large group of people came forward. Qin Mubai turned around and saw that the emperor was at the head of the queue, followed closely by Concubine Yin, followed by several eunuchs from the Huanyi Bureau and the palace maids.
Li Shimin waved his hand, and everyone retreated. Only she and Concubine Yin stepped forward.
"Mu Bai, how is the situation? I heard that Gao Yang's condition suddenly improved, but what's the truth?" Li Shimin asked in a low voice, impatiently.
Qin Mubai said: "On the surface, it does seem to have improved, but she is still very excited. She is taking a bath and changing clothes. She has to eat later, and she has to let me... dress her up."
"Okay, if you are willing to eat and care about your dignity, things will really get better." Li Shimin nodded happily, "Everything is done as she asked. Concubine Yin and I... can't hide. Don't let her know that I'm here yet. , otherwise she might have another attack."
"I obey the order."
Li Shimin took Concubine Yin and turned around and walked towards a hidden place in the small courtyard. Concubine Yin never said a word, but when she turned around, she glanced at Qin Mubai with an extremely resentful look, as if tears had already reached her eyes.
Qin Mubai nodded to her to express comfort. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. The woman who was so dignified, dignified and elegant before now seemed to have turned into an old woman who was old and lifeless...
At this time, Princess Gaoyang had finished bathing and changing clothes, and she couldn't wait to shout from inside: "Mubai, come in, come in quickly! I'm done!"
"Okay, here we come." Qin Mubai walked into the house. The ladies in the laundry cleaned out the dirty clothes and bath water, took out the jewelry powder box and a large bronze mirror, and invited Princess Gaoyang to sit down. In front of the dressing table.
At this time, Princess Gaoyang smiled, her face was pink and her cheeks were pink, her complexion was already a hundred times better than before, and her eyes also had a bright look. Through the reflection in the mirror, she looked at Qin Mubai with tender eyes, holding his hand on the side of her face, and murmured: "Mubai, have I become so ugly? "
"No. You are still as beautiful as a fairy before." Qin Mubai touched her hair and said, "It's easy to catch cold when your hair is wet. Can I comb it and dry it for you?"
"good!"
Qin Mubai picked up a few towels, patiently dried his hair, and combed it neatly. While saying: "I don't know how to comb your commonly used 'Wangxian bun', so I can only comb it for you like this."
"Put it on like this, it looks good, I like it." Princess Gao Yang said with her eyes closed, as if she was enjoying it.
Just after combing her hair, Princess Gao Yang suddenly grabbed Qin Mubai's hands and covered her face.
Qin Mubai's hand felt wet and cold. Princess Gao Yang closed her eyes, and her tears rolled down like broken beads.
"Thrush my eyebrows..."
With that said, Princess Gao Yang turned around, threw herself into Qin Mubai's arms and lay down on her back, with a small face with delicate and beautiful features facing up. Tears kept falling from the corners of his eyes.
Qin Mubai held Princess Gaoyang firmly, took a deep breath to suppress her throbbing mood, picked up the charcoal eyebrow pencil, and said: "Okay, I will draw your eyebrows. But I have never drawn eyebrows on a woman. It must be very ugly."
"As long as it's drawn by you, it looks good. In this life, I only want your eyebrows!"
…
In the courtyard outside the door, Concubine Yin covered her mouth with tears in her eyes, and suddenly turned her head and ran away.
Li Shimin still stood like a mountain with his hands cut behind his back.
Tears were already streaming down his face...
