Leng Shuang's body stiffened. She didn't understand the meaning of Gu Tingyu's words.
Gu Tingyu felt a little annoyed. Was it too abrupt for him to say this?
Leng Shuang didn't understand Gu Tingyu's thoughts. She only knew that her heartbeat was already frighteningly fast at this moment.
"Cough..." Gu Tingyu coughed slightly and covered it up: "Let's go inside, it's cold outside."
Leng Shuang said "hmm", turned around, lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage.
Gu Tingyu then got out of the car. He glanced at Leng Shuang and saw that she was looking around with a curious look.
"What? Is the layout here strange?" Gu Tingyu asked with raised eyebrows.
"No, I just feel a little fresh."
Gu Tingyu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "This is the hill behind the palace. It is a place where the royal family specially provides imperial doctors to treat chronic diseases. Therefore, the layout here is very different from ordinary houses. On weekdays, except for His Majesty the Emperor and the Queen Mother, no one else comes here.
Qualified to come in."
"I see."
"You are the emperor's imperial physician, and this will be your home from now on." Gu Tingyu said calmly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Leng Shuang thanked him.
Although this place is very luxurious, it is a palace after all, and there is no sense of security living here. Leng Shuang couldn't help but become nervous.
"You don't have to worry. Since you were invited by the emperor to treat my father, I will naturally not treat you badly. Just tell the maid what you want to eat and drink from now on." Gu Tingyu said.
"Okay." Leng Shuang nodded.
Leng Shuang returned to the inn with Gu Tingyu. She paused, looked at Gu Tingyu and said, "Your Majesty, we... what are we going to do now?"
"Have a rest for a while. We will leave for Northern Xinjiang tomorrow. You don't have to be afraid. With me here, you will be fine." Gu Tingyu said, "I will ask the maid to take you back to your room."
The maid led Leng Shuang back to the room.
"Girl, the environment here is pretty good," the maid said.
"Yeah." Leng Shuang nodded and took out the things in the bag.
She rummaged at the bottom of the cage for a long time and finally found a cloak.
This is a winter coat she bought earlier. She originally planned to wear it after Gu Tingyu came to the capital, but she did not expect that Gu Tingyu would suddenly change his mind and not only send her out, but now he is on his way to Northern Xinjiang.
Leng Shuang's fingers brushed the snow lotus embroidered on her clothes, and her mood was extremely complicated.
The next morning, Leng Shuang and Gu Tingyu went out together. Gu Tingyu rode a horse and Leng Shuang rode a carriage.
Gu Tingyu looked at Leng Shuang aside and said: "Leng Shuang, I remember you used to like spicy food. This time we go to Northern Xinjiang, let's buy some meat on the way back. You can try the dishes cooked by our chef."
"Yes." Leng Shuang nodded, not rejecting Gu Tingyu's kindness.
The two of them arrived at the gate of Zhenguo Gongfu one after another.
As soon as Leng Shuang jumped off the carriage, she was welcomed in by an older nanny.
"Old slave, please see the princess." Mammy said respectfully.
Leng Shuang looked at the nanny in front of her and nodded slightly: "Who are you?"
"This old slave is Grandma Li who serves the wife. The master asked me to take care of the princess." Grandma Li said.
Nanny Li quickly stretched out her hand to help Leng Shuang and said: "Madam said that the princess is new here and is not as restrained as in the palace. If the princess needs anything, just tell me and I will try my best to satisfy you."
"Okay." Leng Shuang responded.
The two of them said a few words and then walked away in different directions.
Gu Tingyu stood in the distance and looked at Leng Shuang's back, his eyes dark and unclear.
"Your Majesty, the Princess has such a temperament that she rarely communicates with others." The guard on the side couldn't help but say.
"I know." Gu Tingyu's tone was calm, but his eyes flickered a few times, as if he was thinking about something.
"My lord, please forgive me for my stupidity."
"That's all, please step back." Gu Tingyu waved his hand, "Let Leng Shuang have a good rest."
"Yes." The guard bowed and retreated.
Gu Tingyu looked at Leng Shuang's leaving figure, his eyes getting darker and darker.
He was bound to get this woman.
Gu Tingyu's eyes fell on the scroll on the table.
"Master, aren't you going to Northern Xinjiang? Why don't you leave now?" Gu Tingyu's personal guard frowned.
"I have changed my mind." Gu Tingyu said.
"What?"
"I have decided to stay in the capital." Gu Tingyu said, "I want to see who is so bold and dares to impersonate me."
Gu Tingyu narrowed his eyes, "Send the order and ask someone to find out who stole my military talisman last night."
"yes."
There was a cold light in Gu Tingyu's eyes. The military talisman was related to whether he could successfully ascend the throne and become emperor. He would never allow any mistakes.
…
After Leng Shuang returned to the room, she couldn't wait to change her clothes.
"Miss, why are you back so early?" the maid asked in surprise.
Leng Shuang shook her head and said, "Nothing, I'll take a bath first."
"Yes, miss."
After Leng Shuang came out of the bath, the maid had already prepared the meal.
"Miss, please eat it while it's hot," the maid urged.
Leng Shuang held the bowl and ate slowly.
"Miss, the prince has sent three carriages for your trip this time. We only have one, and the other two are empty." The maid said.
Leng Shuang was stunned when she heard this. Only then did she remember that she forgot to remind Gu Tingyu to bring an extra carriage.
Leng Shuang pursed her lips, put down her chopsticks, and said to the maid: "I'm full, go get me some clothes."
"Oh, okay." The maid nodded immediately, ran to the cabinet to get a set of clothes, and handed them to Leng Shuang.
"You go down, I want to change clothes." Leng Shuang said.
"Yes." The maid responded and left the room.
Leng Shuang took off her thick jacket and put on a simple goose-yellow dress, which was the color she was used to wearing on weekdays.
After everything was tidied up, Leng Shuang opened the door and walked out.
Gu Tingyu had been standing in the yard waiting for her. When he saw her coming out, he smiled and waved to her and said, "Let's go."
Leng Shuang nodded slightly and walked outside.
Gu Tingyu and Leng Shuang got on the carriage, and the motorcade slowly drove out of the Zhenguo Palace.
"Princess, where are we going now?" the maid asked.
Leng Shuang thought for a while and said, "Let's go to the drug store now and buy some medicinal materials."
The maid heard this and nodded immediately, "Princess, I will accompany you."
Leng Shuang did not refuse, and the two of them walked towards the drug store together.
Gu Tingyu was sitting in the carriage. When he heard the carriage stop, he opened the curtains. He happened to see Leng Shuang coming out of the medicine shop. A smile appeared on his face. This woman was really cautious. She had not been exposed for so long.
whereabouts.
She had never thought about marrying Gu Tingyu, but during this period of time, she had become accustomed to Gu Tingyu's presence.
Leng Shuang felt a strange feeling in her heart. She was not unfamiliar with this feeling. She even knew what she was longing for.
"Your Majesty." Leng Shuang opened the car curtain and lowered his head and shouted.
"How's it going?" Gu Tingyu said calmly.
Leng Shuang was silent for a moment and said: "I did come from the countryside. During this time, the prince has taken good care of me. If the prince can trust me, I am willing to help him find clues."
Gu Tingyu raised his eyebrows, "That's fine, then I will believe you."
"Thank you, Lord." Leng Shuang lowered his eyelids to cover the sadness in his eyes.
…
"Your Majesty, you see, this drawing was left by the assassin when he escaped that day. His body looks quite strong, and his martial arts is very strong. The weapon he used has two rubies on the handle.
mosaic."
Gu Tingyu looked at the description on the drawing carefully, "Ruby?"
"Yes, it's Ruby. He should be a wealthy businessman or a person in the world." Gu Tingyu said.
"Your Majesty, what should we do now?" the adjutant asked.
A smile appeared on Gu Tingyu's lips. He stared at a spot on the drawing and said, "Hold your troops for now. I will arrange for someone to follow him secretly, and then capture this person when the time is right."
"yes."
"In addition, you can send someone to find out if there is a place called Lin's Medical Center nearby."
"yes."
"Okay, you go down." Gu Tingyu said.
After his people left, Gu Tingyu held the drawing in his hand and fell into deep thought.
At Lin's Medical Clinic, Leng Shuang's appearance appeared in Gu Tingyu's mind. If he saw it right that day, that woman was pretending to be stupid. In this case, it was up to him to reveal her hypocrisy in person.
Leng Shuang is not only a lady, but she was also close to the empress. I am afraid she knows many secrets in the palace.
Gu Tingyu suddenly felt that marrying Leng Shuang as a concubine was actually a good deal.
…
The next morning, after Gu Tingyu got up, he rushed directly to the military camp.
Leng Shuang still stayed in the room to recuperate. Although her body had recovered a lot, she was still a little tired.
"Princess, do you want some water?" the maid asked.
"Yes." Leng Shuang responded, and the maid immediately brought the tea over.
"Princess, this tea is the newly brewed Biluochun." the maid said.
Leng Shuang took a sip and found that the taste was indeed good. Unfortunately, she had not drunk tea for many years.
Over the years, her life in the Hou Mansion was not as glorious as it seemed.
Her parents were both dead, and her grandmother was partial to her concubine Leng Coral. Her life was very difficult, but she gritted her teeth and endured it. She knew that if her concubine Leng Coral found out, her parents and younger brother would definitely die.
.
"Princess? What's wrong with you?" The maid noticed that she seemed a little absent-minded.
"It's okay, you can go out." Leng Shuang said.
"Yes." The maid bowed out respectfully.
Leng Shuang leaned on the soft couch and closed her eyes. Her mind was filled with the past.
…
After a while, Leng Shuang opened his eyes, with a trace of confusion in his eyes.
She couldn't figure out why Leng Hualou could live a life of fine clothing and fine food, even though he was born to the same parents, but she had to endure such terrible pain. It wasn't fair.
Leng Shuang clenched her fists tightly, she must take revenge!
…
Leng Shuang stayed in the room for a few days, and her health gradually improved, and Gu Tingyu didn't seem to restrict her movements.
She was extremely bored at home, so she went shopping on the street.
As soon as she entered the street, she noticed someone following her, and Leng Shuang's heart beat suddenly.
"Princess, what's wrong?" The maid on the side looked at her worriedly.
When the maid saw this, she didn't say anything more and continued shopping while supporting Leng Shuang.
After wandering for a long time, Leng Shuang suddenly found that she had walked to the same alley again. She hesitated, but finally walked in.
After she walked in, she looked around and found no suspicious traces. She paused and realized that she was walking in circles!
She had been under surveillance for such a long time, and Leng Shuang's eyes suddenly turned cold.
This person's goal is her, and he has been luring himself in a certain direction!
There was a cold smile on Leng Shuang's lips, and she raised her legs and walked towards the depths of the alley.
This place is still some distance away from the suburbs in the north of the city. The further Leng Shuang walked, the more he felt that the surrounding atmosphere was a bit strange.
She couldn't help but frown. The alley was so gloomy, and she always felt like something dangerous was peering at her from the dark.
She looked around cautiously, and finally stopped in front of a dilapidated house.
This house seemed to have been abandoned for a long time. Half of the courtyard wall collapsed and was covered with weeds. It looked very desolate. Her heart skipped a beat. She always felt that this house was weird. This chapter has been completed!
