Chapter 71

Great suffering and deep hatred

Author: Naughty Gu Gu

Great suffering and deep hatred

It took too long to recover from this illness. After midnight, the imperial doctor said that the medicine could be stopped.

The trip to Ningzhou had been delayed for too long. As soon as she was ready, the prince couldn't wait to come.

When Shen Qiqi arrived at Changfeng Pavilion, she happened to hear the prince roaring in the study.

Eleven people were waiting outside the door. She looked at the food box in her hand and didn't know whether to go in or not.

"Your Majesty, the girl is here."

While she was hesitating, Eleven had already gone to report.

Shen Qiqi lowered her head and pursed her lips, waiting for the person inside to reply before stepping forward with her skirt in one hand.

"Girl, please come in."

Eleven helped open the door, waited for her to go in, and then carefully closed it again.

Standing at the door, Shen Qiqi looked up at Gu Tingshu sitting behind the desk, and then turned to look at Mu Chengze standing by the window.

The two of them were at war with each other, and the atmosphere was tense. No one was willing to say a soft word first.

Shen Qiqi bowed to Mu Chengze first, and then carried the food box towards Gu Tingshu.

"Mama Lin learned a new kind of pastry. When I ate it, I thought it tasted great, so I thought about giving it to my cousin to try."

As she spoke, she took out the cakes. After she finished speaking, she took a few breaths, then turned around and asked, "Your Highness, would you like to use some too?"

Although Mu Chengze was still angry in his heart, he was concerned about her presence, so he had to hold back. Now that he heard her question, he responded in a dispensable manner.

"My cousin speaks so highly of this pastry, so it must be extremely delicious. Just use some of it."

As he said this, he walked over and saw Shen Qiqi giving a piece to Gu Tingshu. He rolled his eyes and took the plate over.

"Ashu doesn't like to eat these, so just help him eat them if you can."

He was not polite at all. Shen Qiqi still held the cake in her hand and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Gu Tingshu.

The pastry, which is about the size of two fingers, melts in your mouth and is full of flavor. It is fresh and not greasy. No wonder she sent it to you.

After eating the cake, Gu Tingshu took another sip of tea before letting Shen Qiqi sit down.

"You are not in good health. Don't stand for a long time. Go sit down."

"Cousin, do you want to eat more? I still have some over there."

Mammy was afraid that she wouldn't like to eat, so she didn't cook much. When she came over, she didn't know that the prince was here, so she only brought a small plate.

I originally thought it would be a good way to cushion my stomach, but I never expected that the prince would take it all away.

"No need, just sit down."

She was still breathing a little when she walked in. If she were to move back and forth again, she might collapse from exhaustion.

With Shen Qiqi there, Mu Chengze couldn't say anything. After finishing the cake, he clapped his hands and left.

"Ashu has something to do today, so Gu'er will come back tomorrow."

This man was also surprised. In the past, if such a thing happened, he would have wanted to rush to solve it, but now he kept putting it off.

As expected, this matter between men and women is the biggest hindrance.

Fortunately, he didn't listen to his mother's advice and find a girl, otherwise he would be held back now.

"Farewell to Your Highness."

Gu Tingshu answered simply, regardless of whether Mu Chengze would be angry or not, he just asked Eleven to give it away.

After he left, Shen Qiqi turned to look at Gu Tingshu, "What did my cousin just say to the prince? I heard his voice as soon as I entered the yard."

Gu Tingshu was not in a hurry to answer. If his eyes were on her face, his fingertips would rub the jade pendant around his waist from time to time.

Although she was almost feeling better, her complexion was not as good as before, and her flaming lips also turned a light red.

She was even thinner, as if a gust of wind could blow her away.

"It's nothing. I just wanted to ask when I will go to Ningzhou."

The trip to Ningzhou was already announced two months ago, but now that it has been so long since it has not started, I can’t blame the prince for being anxious.

"I'm fine now. If my cousin has nothing to do, I should give His Highness the Crown Prince a reply, so that he doesn't have to bother me every day."

Gu Tingshu responded, but did not say whether to go or not. He just reached out and gave her a travel diary.

"The people below just found him. Just watch and pass the time."

Wen Hua took it and flipped through it several times, then smiled and thanked her.

"Cousin, if you have something to do, go ahead and get busy. It's getting late, so it's time for Qi Qi to go back."

It was almost lunch time, and she thought about hiding away again.

Gu Tingshu's eyes flashed when he thought that she had acted out of character after waking up and used various excuses to refuse to eat with him.

"On the 11th, send the girl back." Seeing that Shen Qiqi didn't notice, he whispered again: "Ask Aunt He what the girl ate after she woke up, and how her appetite is different from before."

Shiyi took the order and left, and when he came back, he took back the notebook that Aunt He used to record.

"Mama He said that although the girl has eaten less these days, it is still considered normal."

"It's just that among the dishes that were served on the table, the girl didn't eat any meat. She even didn't eat the meatballs that she used to love."

"My grandma Qian'er secretly put some shredded chicken into the porridge, and the girl vomited as soon as she ate it."

Gu Tingshu flipped through the notebook that recorded the amount and type of food she ate, and it took a long time before she put it down.

"Go tell the girl that I will go to Qingzhu Xiaozhu for lunch."

It would be fine if she didn't use it once or twice, but now her body is so weak. If she doesn't eat more meat, how long will it take to make up for it?

"Stop by the East Palace and bring out the milk cake that the prince mentioned."

"yes."

After Shiyi left, Gu Tingshu picked up the small book again and read it carefully for a long time. He didn't stop until lunch time.

Most of the meat was placed on the table, and the smell was extremely fragrant, but Shen Qiqi felt like vomiting just from smelling it.

She clutched her chest, her eyes were slightly red, and she looked pitifully at Aunt He through the fog.

"Why didn't you refuse when Master Eleven came to you just now?"

She really didn't want to eat meat now, so she could eat whatever she wanted, but if she shared it with her cousin, she would have to eat whatever he put in it.

Her bitter and resentful look made Grandma He laugh. She helped her tie up her hair and then said with a smile: "Why don't you say no, girl?"

"The old slave has a low status. How can he dare to refuse the Marquis? Even if the old slave has the courage to refuse, the Marquis can still listen to the old slave?"

"What a girl wouldn't dare to do, an old slave would even dare not do."

After she finished speaking, she let out a long sigh, and Shen Qiqi also sighed as she listened.

Yes, the cousin who didn't even give His Highness the Crown Prince's face was the one who had the courage to refuse. How could he just listen to what he said?

"Then will grandma wait in the house later?"

Aunt He shook her head, "Girl, please don't say it's a joke. The Marquis knows how to hold chopsticks. Now that he's grown up, his servants are not allowed to stay in the house."

"If I stay in the house and don't go out, I'm afraid I'll get a beating."

"If I were as young as Jinbao Yinbao, I would have suffered this blow. But now that I am old, I am afraid my life will be gone if I get this blow."

After she said this, Shen Qiqi was really speechless and could only nod along with her words.

"Yes, yes, what mama said is absolutely correct. Then mama, let's go and rest for a while. The gold and silver treasures are still outside. It'll be good if they can take care of you."
