Gu Zibei said subconsciously: "I have been wandering in the rivers and lakes before, and I have seen the methods of some people in the market."
At this point, he suddenly stopped, as if he realized that he had talked too much.
Tingtong asked hurriedly: "My innocence has been preserved, what will you do?"
When the queen saw him appearing in the private room where the ladies were resting, she would definitely take her anger out on him.
Gu Zibei looked nearby, never looking at Ting Tong.
He is like a vigilant leopard, reacting to the environment anytime and anywhere.
I just heard him say: "I am an insignificant person, I can only be punished. Compared with your women's innocence, I don't care much."
Tingtong still wanted to speak, but Gu Zibei suddenly frowned deeply.
"Someone is coming."
After saying this, he pushed Ting Tong hard.
"ah--!"
She let out a sweet cry and threw herself into the water like a butterfly with broken wings!
Wow.
The Praetorian Guards looking for the princess heard the sound of someone struggling.
He quickly ran over to check.
I saw Tingtong's clothes soaked through, and he kept thrashing: "Help!"
It happened that Concubine Liu and many palace maids also found the place nearby.
She immediately ordered two palace maids who knew how to swim to drag Ting Tong up.
A farce against Concubine Liu ended hastily.
In the end, the emperor just verbally reprimanded Concubine Liu.
However, Tingtong was the least favored princess after all, and she also suffered from asthma. The emperor did not have much affection for this daughter.
Later, Ting Tong inquired about Gu Zibei's whereabouts in many ways.
But she was shocked to realize that she didn't know the other person's name.
If you want to ask, there is nowhere to ask.
But after a while, I learned from the tone of the palace maid’s conversation——
There was a young general of the sixth rank who broke into a female guest's room to sleep at a banquet, so he was punished by the emperor with thirty strokes of lashing.
Now he was demoted to a seventh-rank official and exiled to the capital.
…
After hearing these experiences, Gu Nuoer opened her pink lips and was amazed.
"This queen is so irritating, how can she use your innocence to fight for power!"
Her watery eyes were filled with angry waves, which made her pretty face even more lively.
If you put someone like the Queen in her home, I guarantee that your mother will take care of her!
Mentioning the past, Tingtong smiled faintly.
"Yes, although Concubine Liu is my adoptive mother, she raised me because she wanted to prove to my father that she was kind-hearted."
"But..." Tingtong's eyes dimmed: "It's very difficult to live under someone else's roof."
Gu Nuoer patted her hand in understanding.
"But in this case, the fate between you and Brother Fourteen should be very deep. How did it get to this point?"
She tilted her head curiously.
Just as Tingtong was about to answer, she heard a call coming from a distance——
"Noel!"
Gu Nuoer raised his head and saw Gu Zibei standing not far away with a serious look on his face.
He waved and motioned for Gu Nuoer to come over.
Tingtong quickly lowered her head: "Princess, please go back quickly."
Gu Nuoer hesitated for a moment, but Gu Zibei walked over directly and held her hand.
And he spoke solemnly to Ting Tong, as if giving a warning.
"My sister is kind-hearted, please don't harm her."
Gu Nuoer was startled and said hurriedly: "Brother, I'm here to deliver ginger soup to Sister Xiaotong and have a conversation by the way. It's not what you think!"
Gu Zibei pursed his thin lips and tightened his jawline.
"Come back with me, Marquis Yongye is looking for you."
He didn't say anything else and directly took Gu Nuo'er away.
Gu Nuoer turned around and saw Tingtong's thin body floating in the wind, like a green leaf that could fly away at any time.
On the way, Gu Nuoer couldn't help but said: "Brother, Tingtong is a girl after all, can you not be so fierce!"
Gu Zibei's tone was cold: "Sister, there are some things I can't say, but I won't hurt you. Just listen to me, don't get close to her, and don't believe what she says."
Gu Nuoer was confused.
She could feel that Tingtong was clear and shy at heart and was not a bad person.
But why does Brother Fourteen regard her as a scourge?
What misunderstanding is there!
When Gu Nuoer was stunned, someone suddenly handed a chicken leg to her from behind.
Ye Siming turned his head and looked at her, his long eyebrows slightly raised and his smile bright.
