When Gu Qingyuan looked at her face in the makeup mirror, Princess Rongchang was also sitting on the Arhat couch, her heart churning.
Xu was in the prison that day and blurted out to Gu Shao that he had refused to save the Qin family until death.
I often think of that scene these days.
The more I thought about it, the more chills ran down my spine.
When I saw Gu Qingyuan's face today, the more I looked at it, the more I felt that it resembled Mr. Qin's.
She also watched Gu Qingyuan grow up, and this was not the first time she saw her face.
I've never had this illusion before.
Or is it true that there are gods in this world, and the short-lived Qin family leaned over Gu Qingyuan.
Princess Rongchang felt a chill in her heart. She suddenly clasped her hands together and murmured Amitabha.
If it is true, then the short-lived Qin family should not come to trouble her.
It's not like she let Uncle Ming insult her innocence.
She just didn't step forward to stop it in time.
What's wrong with her?
Besides, she already admired Gu Shao at that time. Should she rescue the Qin family and then watch helplessly as Gu Shao and the Qin family were in love with each other?
But what makes people vomit blood is that even though Mrs. Qin behaved like that, Gu Shao still gave her his true feelings.
After Qin's death.
If she hadn't joined forces with the old Zhen Guo Gong and his wife, how could she have successfully married into the Zhen Guo Gong's mansion.
When she first saw who Uncle Ming had seized from the Qin family, no one else knew except for a confidant.
Maybe it's because I've been having a rough time these days, that's why I'm dazzled.
Princess Rongchang wanted to go to Tantuo Temple to offer incense, but in this situation, it was difficult to even leave the house.
Not to mention the incense.
Princess Rongchang endured it for two days, but on the third day she couldn't bear it anymore.
She called the guards who were guarding them and ordered them to have a statue of Guanyin.
After hearing this incredible request, the guard looked blank, but he had to ask King Qin what he meant.
Gu Qingyuan smiled when she heard the news that Princess Rongchang asked King Qin for a Guanyin statue.
Princess Rongchang has done something wrong and wants to ask for blessings from the gods.
She thought of the past events she heard in the prison and touched her face.
When Pei Jinting came back in the evening, she went into the inner room, stood next to him, and told Pei Jinting her guess.
"Tell me, should I scare her? Maybe I can dig something out."
Pei Jinting hadn't enjoyed her taking such initiative for a long time. She sat on the couch and responded casually.
After agreeing, she remembered that she still set her sights on Princess Rongchang.
Pei Jinting raised his eyes to look at her and heard Gu Qingyuan continue, "When she sees me, it's like seeing a ghost. It can't be that I'm too ugly to scare her."
Which ghost would have such a beautiful round face? Pei Jinting thought and smiled.
Gu Qingyuan's breath hit his neck, and her slender and soft hands hung on his shoulders.
Pei Jinting did not reach out to push her away, but let her hug her like this, "How do you want to scare her? Give you the manpower to dispatch?"
Ever since Gu Shao was imprisoned, Gu Qingyuan's mood has been depressed, and it is rare to see her smiling.
It would also be good if Princess Rongchang's affairs could divert some of her attention.
Gu Qingyuan was indeed a little happy that he had everything going smoothly.
She put her arms around Pei Jinting's neck, leaned up and kissed him hard.
Pei Jinting's breathing was suppressed. He held her face in his palms and laughed hoarsely, "I'm afraid you'll be too sad these days, so don't bother me."
He bluntly moved his hand to her waist, teasing Gu Qingyuan, and pressed the tip of his nose against her skin. What he meant was very clear.
Gu Qingyuan's fair skin touched the bridge of his nose and slowly turned red inexplicably.
Without waiting for a word, Pei Jinting's long and strong arms lifted her up from the Arhat couch.
With unhurried steps, he turned around the screen and took Gu Qingyuan to the clean room.
"Come take a bath with me."
The clothes fell to the floor.
When he came out of the clean room, he also carried Gu Qingyuan, who was very sleepy.
With tears hanging on her curled eyelashes, she leaned against Pei Jinting's chest and said in a lazy voice, "Can you lend me your He Zheng tomorrow?"
Pei Jinting pulled the quilt around her and extinguished the lamp outside. The bright moon outside the window fell on the ground, reflecting a clear brilliance.
He lowered his eyes and looked at Gu Qingyuan's thinner face, and a low voice escaped from his thin lips, "Yeah."
When she woke up the next day, Gu Qingyuan touched the outside and found it was cold. She thought Pei Jinting had left.
Outside, Shuangwu heard the movement on the couch and came in with hot water.
"Girl, do you want to get up? It's snowing outside. You need to wear thicker clothes."
Gu Qingyuan looked at the falling snow outside and thought of the day Qin passed away.
It’s also a snowy day.
At that time, she was standing in the corner of the room, watching people coming and going.
After breakfast, she saw He Zheng among the guards.
Taking advantage of the break between shifts, He Zheng met Gu Qingyuan quietly.
"Did Jingheng ask you to be my helper?" Gu Qingyuan asked.
He Zheng nodded repeatedly, "I said it. I said it."
Gu Qingyuan felt relieved, "That's good." As she said that, she looked at He Zheng up and down.
"I have something to trouble you with tonight."
He Zheng suddenly had an ominous premonition.
He grew up with the young master and did both good and bad things. It can be said that he has experienced a lot.
This time I was a little nervous.
Gu Qingyuan took out a picture scroll from the box on the side.
"He Zheng. Please go scare someone tonight."
He Zheng looked at the person in the painting, who looked a bit like Mrs. Gu. He was older than Mrs. Gu, with a gentle face and a smile.
"It's hard for you. You're good at it. It's still a bit troublesome to sneak into that yard at night."
Especially now that there are many guards sent by the King of Qin coming and going from the Zhenguo Palace.
He Zheng held the portrait, no wonder the young master wanted to keep him.
Apart from him, there really is no one who can do this.
It snowed all day during the day. The snow outside was so thick that there was no time to shovel the snow on both sides of the road.
Princess Rongchang knelt in front of the Guanyin statue and chanted sutras for a whole day, and her voice became hoarse.
She dragged her sore feet and climbed up from the futon.
"Here, help me back." Princess Rongchang shouted hoarsely.
The two maids standing not far away immediately stepped forward, supported Princess Rongchang, and slowly moved out of the small Buddhist hall.
Although Princess Rongchang believes in this, she has never been so enthusiastic before.
This was not to comfort myself at all, but to sincerely hope that Guanshiyin Bodhisattva could save her.
After kneeling on the futon for days, Princess Rongchang's feet were numb, and it took a long time before she slowly regained consciousness.
She breathed a sigh of relief. Since she invited the Guanyin statue and chanted sutras and meditated, she had indeed slept soundly.
It must be that all the monsters and monsters in this yard have been cleared away.
What is that short-lived ghost from the Qin family?
Thinking of this, Princess Rongchang's heart dropped a lot, and she relaxed much faster than before.
She exhaled comfortably.
I don't know whether the window was closed too tightly, or the charcoal was burning too brightly in the house, so the window was opened a little.
Unexpectedly, when she looked out the window, she saw a woman standing outside the window who looked exactly like Mrs. Qin.
Princess Rongchang didn't have time to scream, her voice was stuck in her throat, and she fainted.
