Luo Qingrou took Gao Zhen to her small courtyard and organized the room on the east side for him to live in.
"Caiyi, tomorrow you go to the street and buy some men's clothing materials. They should be thick." Luo Qingrou said.
Caiyi nodded in agreement, turned around and left the room.
Gao Zhen said calmly: "County Lord, there is no need to go to such trouble."
Luo Qingrou held his hand, pulled up his sleeves, and checked his injuries. Gao Zhen stopped him immediately, raised his voice, and said, "No need."
"Princess, why are you here so late?" Caiyi almost shouted at the door, fearing that the people in the house wouldn't hear her voice.
"I'm not worried. Let's see if Arou is back." Luo Qingzhi's cold voice came, and Gao Zhen subconsciously moved to get closer to the source of the sound.
Luo Qingrou pulled him over, lowered her voice and said, "Brother Zhen, you are in the house, I will go out to deal with my sister."
Luo Qingrou walked out of the room, turned around and closed the door. She met Luo Qingzhi's concerned eyes.
"Sister, why are you here?"
"When did you come back?" Luo Qingzhi looked at her sister who was obviously panicking in front of her.
"Just arrived a while ago." Luo Qingrou replied, suddenly thinking that she went out to buy sweet-scented osmanthus cake, but she was so focused on Gao Zhen that she completely forgot about it.
Worried that Luo Qingzhi would ask, she took the lead and said: "Sister, I didn't buy the osmanthus cake."
Luo Qingzhi took out a white porcelain bottle from her arms and said softly: "It doesn't matter." She handed the porcelain bottle to Luo Qingrou and said: "This is the ointment made by Zhixin. It is very good at activating blood circulation and removing blood clots. It can even embroider just now."
Broken finger, you hold this, just in case."
She patted Luo Qingrou's head and said softly: "Don't go out these days. It's not very safe outside. If you need anything, just ask Caiyi to buy it."
Luo Qingrou nodded and watched Luo Qingzhi take a few steps forward. Thinking that she didn't have much money left this month and maybe she would need to buy a lot of things for Gao Zhen in the future, she stopped her again and said:
"Sister, I..."
Seeing that Luo Qingrou was in a dilemma, she asked speculatively: "Is there not enough money?"
Luo Qingrou nodded without hesitation and said, "I was planning a wedding, so I used more."
"Tomorrow I will tell the accountant that you can pay as much as you want." Luo Qingzhi said, then added after thinking for a while, "After some time, you will slowly take over the management of the group leader's mansion."
When it comes to business, think of it as learning how to manage your own affairs.”
Seeing Luo Qingzhi trusting her so much, Luo Qingrou felt a little guilty. She wanted to tell her directly that she had brought Gao Zhen back, but she was worried that Luo Qingzhi would not care about him. After hesitation, she could only watch Luo Qingzhi.
Walked out of the small courtyard.
Back in the room, Luo Qingrou handed the porcelain bottle in her hand to Gao Zhen and said, "My sister gave me this. Brother Zhen, try it quickly."
Gao Zhen wiped the medicine, and Luo Qingrou asked tentatively: "I entered the palace yesterday and heard some rumors that the concubine really poisoned my sister. Was it you who detoxified her?"
"..." Gao Zhen did not answer.
Luo Qingrou's eyes were dim and she was a little disappointed. After thinking for a while, she asked tentatively: "Brother Zhen, do you like my sister?"
"Yes." Gao Zhen answered affirmatively.
Luo Qingrou listened to the answer she had guessed a long time ago. In those ten years, every time her sister sent her a letter home, Gao Zhen would always find a way to check the content of the letter and put his own letter inside.
She has seen these things for a long time, but my sister definitely doesn't like Gao Zhen, otherwise she wouldn't have not replied to him for ten years.
Gao Zhen said: "I have liked Aluo since I was a child. I have tried every means to survive just because I want to be by her side. In the past ten years, I have done all the humblest things..."
"Okay, brother Zhen, no need to say, no need to say..." Luo Qingrou naturally knew how Gao Zhen had survived in the past ten years.
Luo Qingrou said: "If sister likes you, I will definitely help you."
"I understand. I want to rest. You can go out." Gao Zhen said.
Luo Qingrou didn't want to stay, turned around and left, walked to the door, turned around and said, "Brother Zhen, my sister is my bottom line. I can do everything for you except hurt my sister."
Gao Zhen sneered, and the two parted unhappy.
Luo Qingzhi returned to her room, and Zhixin had been waiting for a long time.
Zhi Xin was lying on her bed. When she heard the door open, she slowly got up. When she saw Luo Qing Zhi walking in, she yawned and said, "If you don't come back, I will fall asleep."
"Arou has brought Gao Zhen back. I'll go take a look." Luo Qingzhi said as she took off her cloak.
Zhixin smiled evilly and said, "Are you worried about your sister or your lover?"
"..."
Luo Qingzhi turned around and looked at Zhixin and asked, "How did you know it was Gao Zhen."
She didn't say that it was Gao Zhen who helped her detoxify, but Zhi Xin seemed to know that, and she was a little curious.
Zhixin got out of bed and said, "Anyway, I've been with you for five years. I've learned a thing or two about those deductions. It's not difficult to guess."
Luo Qingzhi sighed and said, "It's good for you to know. Ah Rou and Feng Zinan must not let them know."
Then she asked again: "Is there really no cure for this poison?"
"You know, in the former Qin Dynasty, women were respected. Thyme was originally used to help those nobles control their disobedient political opponents. Otherwise, in just a few years, those great scholars would either surrender or hang themselves. This medicine is specially designed to treat those
Serious people, the more serious they are, the more repressed they are, the more unbearable they will be when they have an attack, the more they will be angry." When Zhi Xin said the last word, her eyes were clearly focused on Luo Qing Zhi.
Luo Qingzhi naturally heard her "ridicule", looked up at her and said: "If I die of shame without me protecting you, do you believe that that person can find you immediately?"
"..."
Zhi Xin's expression changed, she stopped laughing, and immediately changed into a look of aggrievedness.
"You're here again. Every time you fail to speak up, you threaten me with this matter."
Luo Qingzhi grinned and said: "I have been marching for many years, and what I have learned is to hit a snake within seven inches."
Zhi Xin clasped her hands and turned around pretending to be angry. Luo Qing Zhi just stopped and said no more.
After a while, Luo Qingzhi asked: "By the way, you haven't told me who the person you are hiding from is, and you are still unwilling to return to Yaowang Valley. I have protected you for five years. In order to cover up your traces, I spent a lot of time.
How much energy did it take?”
Zhi Xin pinched her hand, with tears in her eyes, and said, "A Luo, don't ask, I don't want to talk."
"Okay, okay, don't cry, I'll just leave it alone." Luo Qingzhi shook her head, came to the dressing table, took off her hair crown, and her black hair instantly fell down like a waterfall.
Looking at herself in the mirror, she thought of what Zhi Xin said just now. The more she suppressed, the more Meng Lang became. She blushed unconsciously. Although she was unconscious last night, she remembered that she was the one who took the initiative at the beginning. She was still a child.
I actually squeezed someone for a whole night, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt like an "animal".
"Let's find an excuse tomorrow and send some more medicine over there." Luo Qingzhi said in a low voice.
"What kind of medicine are you sending?" Zhixin's voice came from behind.
Luo Qingzhi said: "Gao Zhen is injured."
Zhi Xin shook her head and said, "He is too weak. Why is he always getting hurt? How can he protect you in the future?"
Luo Qingzhi smiled and said, "Do you think I still need protection from others?"
Zhi Xin seemed to be lost in thought. She looked Luo Qing Zhi up and down. Thinking of her bravery on the battlefield, she shook her head and said, "It doesn't seem to be necessary."
"Go back to your room quickly, I want to take a shower and rest." Luo Qingzhi said.
Zhixin nodded and prepared to leave the room. In the end, she was still worried and said: "Arluo, Thyme's attack is not a trivial matter. Don't make yourself miserable. The next attack will be in five days. I will prepare a hidden place for you. As for the candidate, you
Think about it yourself."
"......good"
Luo Qingzhi lay in the tub, relaxing, and finally felt the pain in her body. She didn't think that women should wrong themselves for the sake of chastity, but she didn't like this feeling of being controlled very much.
"Five days..."
"Gao Zhen..."
After relaxing, she fell into sleep. In her dream, she had her father, her elder brother, and her second brother. She kept laughing.
The cold water woke her up, and Huang Liang dreamed that there was no one around her.
On the second day, songs were being sung in the streets and alleys of Jinling City.
"After ten years of fighting for my daughter, I went to Beijing for a party night, and the emperor was furious and demoted the common people. The royal family's scandal was not exposed to the public."
When such remarks reached Gao Yan's ears, he smashed his favorite hand stove on the spot. The officials at Yushitai handed over one book after another, insisting on finding a reason why the prince was demoted.
"I have already said that the prince has lost his virtue. The prince has lost his virtue. Why do these old men still ask?" Gao Yan roared.
When Luo Qingzhi entered the Xianyang Hall, she heard such words.
Gao Yan casually picked up a booklet from Shangshu Ling Baili Xi. After taking a look at it, he got angry and said, "Does this Baili Xi think that I really don't dare to kill him?"
Luo Qingzhi was very calm and said: "Master Baili is the leader of civil servants in the world and a veteran of three dynasties. Moreover, he is my mother's nephew." She sighed and continued: "Everyone knows that,
Back then, my mother had a bad relationship with the family in order to marry my father. If you really killed him, wouldn't it be true for this rumor?"
Seeing Luo Qingzhi, Gao Yan's anger dropped a bit. After retreating, the door of Xianyang Hall was closed again.
Gao Yan was still very angry and said, "I didn't expect them to use such dirty tricks to ruin your reputation."
Luo Qingzhi said: "The various factions in the court are complicated. I haven't found out who did this yet, but I think it was either Empress Yang or the eldest princess. No one else can put people in the palace."
Gao Yan seemed to have different opinions from Luo Qingzhi, saying: "You didn't suspect that Gao Zhen did it himself."
"I have thought about it." Luo Qingzhi nodded and said, "But now he is just a deposed commoner and does not have this ability."
Gao Yan smiled and said, "Aluo, do you know how a wolf can live among a pack of wolves?"
"Work hard to become stronger and become the alpha wolf." Luo Qingzhi said.
Gao Yan said: "This is naturally a method, but as you become the alpha wolf, you become a thorn in the side. You must always beware of the plots of other wolves."
Luo Qingzhi asked: "Then, what is your Majesty's answer?"
Gao Yan said: "Disguise yourself as a sheep and get protection from hunters." This chapter has been completed!
