After being dressed as the original match of cannon fodder, she was spoiled by a powerful minister

Chapter 421 I just feel like I'm in a steamer

Taoer felt very uncomfortable.

Originally, if Gu Mingzhu hadn't come, she would have found a chance to get close to the son.

But when Gu Mingzhu came, Shizi's eyes all fell on her, and he would not give it to others at all.

She sat in the room for a while, listening to the voices of servants talking secretly outside, and felt even more irritable.

"...that girl is really beautiful, she should be the prince's favorite..."

"No, that's Miss Gu, Shizi's younger sister."

Before the servant girl finished speaking, she was interrupted by Tao'er who came over suddenly.

Facing the sharp eyes of the other party, the servant girl shut her mouth resentfully.

Tao'er hated these gossiping people, took a deep breath, and said sternly: "Are you all doing nothing?"

The servant girl saw that she was holding on to the matriarch's demeanor, and she felt very disapproving, but she was a little apprehensive because the other party was from the capital, so she responded and hurriedly dragged her companion away.

When Tao'er couldn't see them anymore, they couldn't help talking behind their backs.

"Do you really think you are superior to others? You have been here for so long, and Baba has been waiting for your lord to come back, but how many times has your lord come back? Every time your lord comes back, you don't even pay attention to her. Pooh, I can't carry things clearly!"

"Isn't that right? I think the adults are very nervous about that Miss Gu. He personally served and fed the medicine and food. I just went in to clean up and saw the adults coaxing the girl so tenderly.

How could they be brothers and sisters like this.Taoer must be jealous of Miss Gu and talk nonsense! "

Tao'er didn't understand the discussions of the two maids behind their backs, so she calmed down and went to Gu Mingzhu's room.

At this moment, Gu Mingzhu finally finished drinking the medicine.

She is most afraid of taking medicine, especially when there are relatives around her, she will not take medicine properly.

Just now when Gu Xiao coaxed her, her body was splashed with medicinal juice.

A bowl of medicine, half of which was poured out, before I barely drank it.

Gu Xiao's face was dark, and he wanted to reprimand her, but seeing her lying weakly on the couch, he couldn't bear it anymore.

He must have owed her in his previous life.

"Your Majesty, your clothes are dirty." Tao'er came in, saw his appearance, exclaimed, took a handkerchief and went forward to wipe him.

Gu Xiao lowered his face, "Go out, don't disturb Mingzhu."

Tao'er's raised hand stopped abruptly, and she glanced at Gu Mingzhu who was on the couch, the jealousy in her heart seemed to annihilate her.

She lowered her eyes and said softly: "Young Master, let's go and rest for a while, and let the servant take care of the little..."

"No need." Gu Xiao interrupted her in a deep voice.

Tao'er had no choice but to nod and backed out.

Gu Xiao glanced at Gu Mingzhu, saw that she had taken the medicine and had fallen asleep, so she felt relieved, went back to the room and changed clothes, and then came to her room again.

Maybe the medicine had an effect, she started sweating, couldn't bear the heat, and kicked the quilt off.

Seeing Gu Xiao, he hurried forward and pulled the quilt for her.

"It's so hot..." Gu Mingzhu fell into a drowsy sleep, feeling like she was in a steamer, subconsciously pulling the clothes on her body.

But she was so heavy that she couldn't move, and couldn't help crying.

"Mom, brother bullied me..."

She obviously didn't see Gu Xiao, but she opened her mouth and said that he bullied her.

Gu Xiao was so angry that he ground his teeth, if he hadn't cared that the girl was still sick, he really wanted to pick her up and beat her up.

But then, Gu Mingzhu's ravings made him fall silent.

"...No, brother is not my brother..." Gu Mingzhu murmured.

"He's not my brother, not..."

There was a wry smile on Gu Xiao's lips.

In fact, he already knew about this matter earlier.

When he was young, he was ignorant, and he found a crescent birthmark on his left arm, so he ran to ask Mrs. Gu why he had such a birthmark.

At that time, Mrs. Gu was vague, saying that it was something he was born with.

But as he grew older, he discovered that the birthmark was not born with him, but branded on it the day after tomorrow.

Moreover, that is not a crescent moon, but... a wolf's tooth.

He searched all over the classics, and finally found relevant records in a classic.

The wolf teeth carved on the left arm is the unique symbol of the Xianbei people who were brutally exterminated by Qiangwu more than ten years ago.

It is said that when a boy of the Xianbei nationality is born, the imprint of wolf teeth will be branded on his left arm, implying that the boy should be as brave as a wolf.

At that time, he had doubts about his own life experience, so he took this classic book and went to find Mrs. Gu.

Ask her, is he from the Xianbei tribe, and she picked him up from outside?
He still remembered that Mrs. Gu's complexion was very ugly at that time, she snatched the classic book, threw it into the brazier, and severely warned him not to talk nonsense, he was born by her, not picked up from outside, and he will not be allowed in the future Look at those messy books again.

But he obviously felt that since then, Mrs. Gu's attitude towards him has become colder.

He also clearly felt that there seemed to be something between the mother and son.

When he was young at that time, he only thought that he made her unhappy, so he never mentioned the Xianbei people again.

But this matter has always been in his heart, and he has never let it go.

It's just that he deliberately didn't think about it all these years.

It wasn't until the letter sent by Fu Jingchen that the fog that had lingered in his heart for these years finally became clear.

He was indeed not born to Mrs. Gu.

And he is very likely to be a descendant of the Xianbei clan...

He frowned and thought, suddenly, his hand touched a piece of smooth and hot skin.

"Brother, don't leave me behind..."

He froze for a moment, looked down, and realized that at some point, Gu Mingzhu broke free from the quilt, grabbed his hand, and placed it on her face.

Seeing the restless girl in her sleep, he paused, pulled his hand back, and patted her on the shoulder instead, "Mingzhu, my brother will not leave, nor will I leave you."

I don't know if his reassurance had an effect. The person who had been writhing restlessly had finally calmed down.

Looking at the girl's peaceful sleeping face, Gu Xiao was full of thoughts.

Knowing what happened to the Gu family, she has endured a lot, and she must have suffered a lot when she came here.

He sighed softly, there was a tenderness and pampering in his eyes that he hadn't even noticed.

How could he be willing to leave her behind?

How to relax and let her be alone?

This girl was born to conquer him.

Gu Xiao rubbed his eyebrows.

……

In the evening, Gu Mingzhu's fever finally subsided and she became sober, but she was still very weak.

When Gu Xiao came in with the food, she curled up in the quilt, a petite ball, with a pair of black eyes open, staring at him.

"See what I'm doing?" Gu Xiao was annoyed.

"I didn't mean to have a fever." Gu Mingzhu whispered.

Gu Xiao was stunned for a moment, and his voice was a little gentle, "I know."

He sat down by the bed, his expression and tone were rare and gentle, "Get up and eat something first."
