Leng Shuang looked at Gu Tingyu with some doubts in her heart. Gu Tingyu had always looked distracted these days, as if he was hiding something from her.
However, Gu Tingyu was indeed worried about something.
Ever since Gu Jingheng was canonized as the prince, he has never seen the jade pendant again.
The jade pendant is the only thought left to him by his father, and he will never allow anyone to take it away!
"General, why have you been so restless these past two days?" Leng Shuang asked softly.
Gu Tingyu sighed and said: "Leng Shuang, you also know that my father passed away when I was very young. Now I am alone and have no friends. Do you think I can stop worrying?"
Leng Shuang fell silent when she heard this. She couldn't refute this reason. After all, Gu Tingyu was right. He was an orphan and he had a younger brother. Now his younger brother was imprisoned. If there was no jade pendant left by his father,
, my brother may have died outside a long time ago.
"Leng Shuang, I hope you can understand my situation. Now we are dependent on others. We cannot behave differently in order to save our lives."
It is true that Gu Tingyu was unable to show the domineering power of a general, but Gu Jingheng was very ambitious, and there was no way he could stop Gu Jingheng on his own.
"Yes, I understand."
"Well, then you go down."
Gu Tingyu waved away Leng Shuang, then lay on the bed and thought for a long time. Suddenly he sat up suddenly and walked out quickly. As soon as Leng Shuang walked to the door, he heard Gu Tingyu calling her.
"Leng Shuang, come here."
Leng Shuang hurriedly walked over: "General."
"My waist hurts a little. Please help me squeeze it and rub it." Gu Tingyu said.
Leng Shuang's technique was very skillful. Gu Tingyu couldn't help but squint his eyes. Leng Shuang's technique was very warm and comfortable.
"Leng Shuang, whose girl are you from?" Gu Tingyu suddenly asked.
"I grew up in an orphanage. My family is poor and my parents have passed away." Leng Shuang replied, "I have grown up in an orphanage since I was a child. I have never seen my parents and I don't know what they look like."
Gu Tingyu frowned and said, "Have you ever thought about finding your parents before?"
"I dare not ask for it."
"Why?"
"Because there are rules in our orphanage. If we can't find our parents, we will never see the light of day."
Leng Shuang lowered her head and said: "Because after my parents gave birth to our brothers and sisters, my parents were arrested and beheaded, so I had no choice but to wander."
Gu Tingyu didn't expect that Leng Shuang would experience such an experience, which made him feel a little sad.
Gu Tingyu patted Leng Shuang on the shoulder and said, "Leng Shuang, you did a good job."
"Thank you for the compliment, General." Leng Shuang nodded slightly and said, "In that case, Leng Shuang will leave."
Leng Shuang walked out, feeling relieved. Fortunately, she changed her plan in time, otherwise, she really didn't know what to do.
After Leng Shuang left the room, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. Gu Tingyu, this man, is quite cute.
Leng Shuang stayed here for a few days and finally got the chance. Because Gu Tingyu's face had become much paler these days, she felt relieved. At least it proved that Gu Tingyu's injury was indeed serious.
"General, have you been exhausted recently? This slave looks distressed," Leng Shuang said.
Gu Tingyu shook his head, and then said: "It's nothing serious, you don't have to worry."
Leng Shuang pursed her lips. Whether it was really okay or pretending, she had to take good care of the general and never let anything happen to him.
"General, you have taken the medicine, drink the medicine." Leng Shuang handed the medicine bowl to Gu Tingyu, and then placed the medicine bowl on the table beside him.
"I don't want to take medicine." Gu Tingyu
He frowned. This was how he had been getting through these days. Although the medicine smelled bad, he couldn't refuse it. After all, he could heal faster after taking these things. So these days, he almost
They are all drinking this bitter and unpleasant decoction.
"General, just drink it, otherwise how can your wound be healed?" Leng Shuang persuaded.
Gu Tingyu frowned. This Leng Shuang usually rarely spoke. At this moment, how could she be so talkative that she actually persuaded him?
In fact, it wasn't that Gu Tingyu didn't want to drink, but because he was thinking about another thing. He didn't believe that the news of the missing jade pendant was groundless. Since his imperial uncle wanted to seek power and usurp the throne, he had to be fully prepared, so he
Decided to send someone to investigate.
He thought for a while and said: "Leng Shuang, go and get me a secret guard. I want to train the secret guard."
"Yes." Leng Shuang nodded.
"General, why are you so anxious to train secret guards?" Leng Shuang couldn't help but ask. After all, in the capital, ordinary officials had no way of training secret guards. This was because of the emperor.
Gu Tingyu's eyes flashed with determination, and then he said slowly: "Because one day, we must be the strongest weapon. No matter where we are, we can only gain a foothold if we have strong combat effectiveness."
"The general is wise, and I am willing to follow him, no matter what life and death." Leng Shuang said respectfully. She was really willing to follow Gu Tingyu because Gu Tingyu had a good personality and was very kind to her. She didn't want to let him down.
High hopes.
"Okay, thank you for the hard work." Gu Tingyu said with satisfaction. He needed such sincere subordinates.
"It's not hard." Leng Shuang said, her heart filled with excitement, Gu Tingyu was finally willing to use her.
"Leng Shuang, your skills are very good. From now on, let's work together to get revenge as soon as possible and kill the old lady!" Gu Tingyu said through gritted teeth.
Leng Shuang nodded: "Yes."
Gu Tingyu took a deep breath, closed his eyes, calmed down for a moment, and said, "Leng Shuang, go down and rest first."
"Yes, General."
After Leng Shuang left the house, Gu Tingyu opened his eyes, a sinister smile appeared on his lips, and then murmured: "Huangfu Lingyun, I don't just want to kill you, I want you to pay the price."
His eyes gradually turned red and he clenched his fists.
Gu Tingyu was reading the military book in the study when he suddenly heard the door being pushed open and a boy ran in and said urgently: "General, it's not good."
"what happened?"
"General, please go and take a look quickly. The princess is critically ill." The boy said anxiously.
Gu Tingyu's eyelids twitched fiercely, and then he said: "You stay here and don't let anyone get close."
"Yes, General."
Gu Tingyu hurriedly changed his clothes and ran towards the palace. By the time he arrived at the palace, it was already night.
When Gu Tingyu rushed into the courtyard, he saw that the princess was dying. He rushed over and stretched out his arms to hug the princess.
"Princess, what's wrong with you? Wake up."
Gu Tingyu called several times, but the princess didn't respond. The previous scene at the bottom of the cliff appeared in his mind.
He was probably too panicked, so he couldn't even find Leng Shuang's shadow. Gu Tingyu stood up angrily. His feet were sprained and he couldn't move at all. At this time, he suddenly heard someone calling him from behind.
Gu Tingyu turned around and saw Leng Shuang squatting on the ground, holding a bottle of hemostatic powder.
"Leng Shuang, why are you here?" Gu Tingyu looked at Leng Shuang in confusion.
Leng Shuang saw Gu Tingyu and said, "General, did you call me just now? I didn't hear you."
"It's okay, give me this hemostatic powder." Gu Tingyu said.
"Yes." Leng Shuang handed the medicine to Gu
Tingyu then stepped aside. Gu Tingyu opened the hemostasis powder and sprinkled it on her wound. As soon as the powder was sprinkled on her, the blood flow stopped immediately.
Gu Tingyu looked at his bandaged wound and nodded with satisfaction. Leng Shuang looked at Gu Tingyu and said, "General, let me help you lie down on the couch."
"Um."
Gu Tingyu was sitting on the couch, while Leng Shuang was kneeling beside the couch, helping Gu Tingyu deal with his wounds. Gu Tingyu looked at Leng Shuang who was kneeling on the ground. She lowered her head, revealing her long and straight neck. Under the dim light, she looked
Extraordinarily beautiful.
Gu Tingyu's eyes darkened slightly. This face always inexplicably touched a certain memory deep in his heart. Perhaps it was because there was always a vacancy in his heart that he became familiar with this face.
However, his heart has always been cold.
Gu Tingyu raised his hand and gently touched Leng Shuang's head, and said, "Silly girl, your hair is already soaked. Go wash it and then have a good sleep."
Leng Shuang nodded, then stood up and walked slowly towards the bath.
Gu Tingyu looked at Leng Shuang's back, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and a faint smile in his eyes.
After Leng Shuang entered the bathroom, the entire bathroom was filled with water mist. Leng Shuang soaked herself in the warm bathtub, closed her eyes, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
It would be great if this man had never betrayed her. Even if she couldn't marry him, she would still be his concubine.
It's just that this man is destined to belong to someone else, so she doesn't ask for anything more. If she can be by his side, she is willing to die.
She thought and fell asleep like this.
The next day, the sun shone in, and Gu Tingyu slowly opened his eyes.
He sat up and saw the woman lying on the bed, with mixed emotions in his eyes.
In these years, no one except Leng Shuang has dared to treat him like this, but now, he has actually softened his heart towards a woman. This woman is like a poisonous snake. Once she is infected, she will make people fall into the quagmire.
"Your Majesty." The servant's voice came from outside.
The boy's tone was a little surprised. The prince actually let this little maid sleep on his bed?
