"That... crown prince, the eldest princess's father, is the late emperor."
A young eunuch beside him reminded him in a low voice.
Arranging the late emperor like this in the palace was, at worst, a capital crime of beheading.
Gu Shenghui was about to howl again, but when he heard these words, he immediately swallowed it back. Because he stopped it too quickly, he accidentally let out a gentle burp.
"I don't care, if you still stop me, I will chop off your heads."
Gu Shenghui's eyes were red, his clothes were loose due to the pulling, his eyes were obviously black and blue, and he looked very embarrassed.
If you look carefully, you will find that there seems to be faint traces of crying on his cheeks, which is obviously due to his great grievance.
"Brother Gu."
Just when Gu Shenghui and several young eunuchs were in a stalemate, a soft and waxy little voice suddenly sounded from outside the crowd.
Gu Shenghui's eyes suddenly lit up, "Jiu'er!"
The little eunuchs got out of the way one after another. Gu Shenghui suddenly saw the little man standing not far away. An indescribable grievance suddenly surged into his heart. He quickly came to the little man and squatted down.
He got up, hugged Su Jiu, and burst into tears.
"Jiu'er! Wuwuwujiu'er, Brother Gu, I'm not clean anymore!"
Gu Shenghui was really crying, and she almost got tears from her nose and tears, but it was Jing Yi's quick eyesight and quick hands that pulled Gu Shenghui away from Su Jiu by the collar, so that her new clothes were spared.
Su Jiu had never seen Gu Shenghui cry so inconspicuously. His little face wrinkled up and he asked strangely: "Brother Gu, what's wrong with you?"
Gu Shenghui opened his mouth and was about to complain, but from the corner of his eye he saw so many young eunuchs there. In the end, he didn't say anything and just kept crying silently.
Su Jiu tilted her head, thought for a moment, and said, "Brother Gu, brother Chu Xi is awake, and Jiu'er is going to the Tai Hospital to see him. Do you want to go with him?"
Gu Shenghui stopped crying, silently stood up from the ground, sniffed his red nose and said, "Go!"
**
The side hall of Taiyuan Hospital.
Chu Xi woke up early in the morning. At this time, she was leaning on the couch and looking at the people surrounding her, her expression still a little dazed.
"Xie'er, is there any discomfort in your body?"
Chu Bai put a hand on Chu Xi's wrist and asked with concern.
Chu Xi raised his hand and rubbed his temples, laughing a little, "Grandpa, from just now to now, you have asked this question dozens of times."
Chu Bai let go of his hand taking the pulse with some embarrassment, "Ah? Really?"
"Brother Chu, Grandpa Chu also cares about you. You don't know how worried Grandpa Chu was about you during the time you were unconscious."
Jian Li said softly from the side. As she spoke, her eye circles became red, but she was afraid that Chu Xi would see it, so she looked away.
Chu Xi looked at Chu Bai.
During these days, Chu Bai not only had to take care of Su Hongxuan, but was also busy with other matters at the Tai Hospital. Of course, the most important thing was watching Chu Xi unconscious. He was worried all day long, for fear that he would have to give birth to a white-haired man again.
people.
All of a sudden, my hair became a lot grayer, and my whole person looked much older and haggard.
"Grandpa, it's your grandson's unfilial piety that makes you worry."
"Just wake up and it'll be fine. Just wake up and it'll be fine."
Chu Bai raised his hand and wiped the corners of his eyes.
Chu Xi was unconsciously attracted by the flowers in the vase on the table facing the couch. Looking at the bright rose flowers, she was slightly lost in thought.
"This is what Princess Ninth gave to you, Brother Chu."
Jian Li saw it and said softly.
"Ninth Princess?" Chu Xi came back to his senses and seemed to have remembered something. He turned to look at Jian Li, "How many days have passed since the Flower Goddess Festival? Is the Ninth Princess okay?"
"Brother Chu, you have just woken up, so don't worry so much. You don't know that you have been lying down for several days. The Ninth Princess is fine, and the people who were injured during the Flower Goddess Festival have also been healed. What about you?
Just take good care of yourself."
Jian Li put the crutch aside, sat down on the couch, and lowered his voice, "You don't know how guilty Brother Su is because you were injured."
Chu Xi moved her lips and was about to speak when Su Yunqing walked in quickly.
He was still wearing court clothes, as if he was coming to court, so he hurried over after hearing about this.
For a moment, the two teenagers looked at each other.
Su Yunqing's chest rose and fell violently several times, and she raised her hand and patted his shoulder gently, "It'll be fine if you wake up, it'll be fine if you wake up."
Chu Xi nodded but did not speak. Jian Li looked at the two of them with slightly sore eyes.
An unspeakable tacit understanding spreads between the three of them. The three of them have experienced life and death together, and many things were all left unsaid.
The atmosphere in the hall was a bit dull.
Just when Jian Li was looking for something happy to talk about, a howl like a slaughtering pig suddenly came from the door.
Then, several people saw a figure running into the hall like a gust of wind and came to Chu Xi.
Gu Shenghui looked at the living Chu Xi, his lips trembled, then he let out an 'ouch', stepped forward, and hugged Chu Xi tightly.
Chu Xi had just woken up and was still very weak. When Gu Shenghui pounced on her, her head hit the couch. Her eyesight went dark and she almost didn't recover.
When Chu Xi finally regained consciousness, there was another loud voice suddenly heard in his ears.
"Wow! Brother Chu! It's great that you are still alive!"
Chu Xi:……
He felt that if he listened to Gu Shenghui howl a few more times, he would most likely not survive.
Su Yunqing was the first to react, grabbing Gu Shenghui's collar and lifting him away.
"Father is looking for you, why are you here?"
Hearing the word 'Father', Gu Shenghui's eyes flashed with guilt, and he shrank behind Chu Bai, "I don't want it, I won't marry that woman even if you kill me!"
Chu Xi and Jian Li looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
Before Jian Li could ask, Su Jiu walked in holding Jing Yi.
"Brother, Brother Jian Li, Uncle Chu, are you all here?"
Su Jiu was wearing a new set of clothes today, a goose-yellow double-breasted jacket, which made her skin look even more snowy. She wore two buns in buns, wrapped with goose-yellow ribbons, and the ribbons fluttered gently as the little person jumped around.
cute.
"Jiu'er, why are you here?"
Su Yunqing took a few steps forward to meet the villain, bent down and picked her up with one hand.
"I heard that Brother Chu Xi woke up, so I wanted to come and see Brother Chu Xi." Su Jiu turned around and looked at Chu Xi on the couch, "Brother Chu Xi, are you feeling well?"
Chu Xi had never seen Su Yunqing be so kind to anyone. He always had a cold face. Even these brothers who had been through life and death could not exude cold air at most.
Just when Chu Xi was slightly lost in thought, she heard the villain's soft voice and immediately came back to her senses. She looked into a pair of dark and bright apricot eyes, and her heart seemed to be pinched gently by a small hand.
"Thank you very much for your concern, Ninth Princess. I'm feeling much better."
Su Jiu nodded, then looked at Gu Shenghui, who was trying to reduce his presence behind Chu Bai, and asked doubtfully: "Brother Gu, who are you going to marry?"
"Didn't Uncle Huang just rescue you from the gambling house? Why do you want to get engaged to you so soon?"
