The female supporting role turns over: the prince regent's favorite

Chapter 11 Gu Changgeng was punished

Hedge garden.

Gu Changgeng sat upright in front of the desk, with black hair in green clothes and a handsome face, but his picturesque eyebrows were slightly frowned.

Uncle Gu put the tea aside and said, "The young master has been sitting here since he came back from the mansion, is it because the repair of the general's jade pendant is not going well?"

"No, there was a skilled jeweler who used to make a living in the palace. He knew a way to restore his father's jade pendant."

Uncle Gu was surprised, "Really?"

Gu Changgeng nodded slightly, "Really, although it can't be completely restored, it can leave the smallest flaw on the jade pendant."

"This is a happy event. Why is the young master so worried when he comes back? But there is not enough money to repair the jade pendant? This old slave can..."

Gu Changgeng interrupted Uncle Gu, "The money for repairing the jade pendant has already been paid, and I made an agreement with that old master to pick up the jade pendant ten days later. I was just thinking..." After a long pause, "Uncle Gu, what do you think? , can people really become completely different from the past in a short period of time?"

"Is the young master talking about the third lady?"

Gu Changgeng remained silent, acquiescing to Gu Bo's words.

Uncle Gu thought for a moment, and said: "I heard that the fifth lady passed away early. When the third lady was young, when she was only five or six years old, she was often beaten by the second son. She was locked up in the firewood room and starved for several days. The old lady and the relative I don't care about it, I almost lost my life several times, until the young master entered the prime minister's mansion, and the second young master started targeting you, she... seemed to feel better."

When Lin Qingqian came to Liyuan the last two times, seeing that she cared about Gu Changgeng like a fake, Uncle Gu couldn't help but say something more, "Although Miss San is very hateful, she...is also a pitiful person."

Gu Changgeng looked at the pattern on the teacup indifferently, Gu Bo couldn't see through his inner thoughts.

After a while, as if he didn't want to continue this topic, he waved his hand and let Gu Bo go out.

……

After leaving the mansion that day, Lin Qingqian spent the past two days in Liuyuan eating, sleeping, and eating. She thought to herself, don't go up to trouble Gu Changgeng, and wait for the jade pendant to be repaired, so that she can find a way. On the other hand, after that time, Gu Changgeng's prejudice against her should not be so big.

But the sky was not as good as people wished, and in the morning, he tried his best to avoid Lin Qingyuan. When it was dark, Chun Xia rushed in in a hurry.

"Miss, miss... Something is wrong!"

Lin Qingqian lay on the couch and asked lazily, "What's the matter?"

"The slave girl passed by the front yard just now and heard that Gu Changgeng was fighting with the second young master and injured the second young master. In a rage, the old lady ordered the guards to whip Gu Changgeng thirty times, locked him in the firewood room, and said No one is allowed to bring him food for these two days."

Lin Qingqian told Chunxia to pay more attention to Liyuan, and when Chunxia learned about Gu Changgeng, she hurried back to report.

Lin Qingqian frowned, "Why did Gu Changgeng and the second brother fight?"

"I don't know, I heard people say that the second young master seems to be talking about Gu Changgeng, about... about General Gu."

Lin Qingqian understood without having to think about it, put her hands on her forehead, and let out a long sigh.

This Lin Qingyuan and Yuanchen are really brothers and sisters, and their mouth poison is probably hereditary. In the book, she is said to be the son of a traitor, and Lin Qingyuan often calls Gu Yun an adulterer and treasonous spy. One can imagine Gu Changgeng How angry.

Lin Qingqian subconsciously went to the front yard to find Mrs. Lin, but Chun Xia held her back, "What is Miss going to do?"

"I'll go to my grandmother, maybe I can intercede for Gu Changgeng."

As soon as Chun Xia heard this, she immediately became anxious, "The servant advised the young lady not to go, the old lady has always loved the second young master, and if the young lady went, not only would she not be able to help Gu Changgeng, but would also anger the old lady, and even the young lady would be punished. .”

Lin Qingqian shuddered and stopped in her tracks.

Gu Changgeng was fined, and her help was a good opportunity to gain favor, but she was a concubine who was not welcomed by the Lin family, so if she went to intercede for Chang Geng, it was too likely that she would not be favored.

After thinking for a while, Lin Qingqian said: "Chun Xia, go to the front yard and ask the other maids and mothers to see if Gu Changgeng is seriously injured and how the situation is. You'd better help me see how many guards are there in the firewood house. Gu Changgeng."

Chun Xia showed a hesitant expression, Lin Qingqian saw through her thoughts, smiled, and said: "Don't worry, I can go to the firewood room to rob people upright, I'm not stupid, I just want to understand the situation. "

"Alright then, servant girl, let's go to the front yard to inquire about it."

After two quarters of an hour, Chunxia came back and briefly explained the situation. Gu Changgeng was whipped thirty times. The servants present all said that he was beaten to pieces and his wounds were horrifying, but Gu Changgeng bit his lip in a daze to bleed From the beginning to the end, he resisted not saying a word, leaving only one person outside the firewood room to guard him.

Lin Qingqian couldn't help sighing, it really is hard to be a master, no wonder Gu Changgeng will become the powerful regent in the future, his patience at such a young age is unmatched by others.

"Chunxia, ​​do we still have medicine for trauma? Find it and give it to me."

Lin Qingqian, who was worried in Chunxia, ​​said, "Could it be that Miss wants to..."

"No, since Gu Changgeng's injury is not serious, he will be released from the firewood room in two days, and the injury will definitely not heal. I will send him the medicine when the time comes."

Chunxia believed it was true, and heaved a sigh of relief, "Yes, this servant will find out the gold warehouse medicine that was left before and give it to Miss."

"Well, let's go."

……

Lin Qingqian was uncharacteristically tonight, and rushed Chun Xiaqiu Dong to the side room to rest early, saying that it was cold and freezing and she didn't need to wait in the room, and she would yell loudly if something happened.

It was midnight, Lin Qingqian on the bed opened her eyes, listened carefully to the silence in the side room, opened the bed curtain, got off the bed, opened the door and slipped out.

Thinking of Gu Changgeng being punished and deprived of food for two days, Lin Qingqian made a special trip to the firehouse in the yard, took some steamed buns in the steamer with him, and then sneaked to the woodshed in the drizzle.

Thanks to these two days, Lin Qingqian kept a lot of conversations about spring, summer, autumn and winter, and made clear the buildings in the prime minister's mansion. In the dark night, she was able to find the firewood room accurately.

The guard outside the door was fast asleep, the door was locked and the key was hanging on his waist.

Lin Qingqian didn't think she could steal the key like in TV dramas. After thinking about it, she went around to the right side of the firewood room, opened the wooden window, and climbed in carefully along the window sill.

The moment his feet were on the ground, Gu Changgeng in the room noticed it, and shouted in a weak voice with vigilance: "Who!"

Afraid of waking up the guards outside, Lin Qingqian quickly responded, "Brother Chang Geng, it's me."

But it was still too late, the guard outside was awakened, and said in doubt: "It's strange, I heard something just now, it seems to be the sound of opening a window..."

The guard wanted to open the door and come in to check, Lin Qingqian was quick to wit, pinching his nose, "Meow...meow..."

The guard outside the firewood room put down the lock, and cursed in a low voice: "Damn wild cat, it's always wandering around in the middle of the night, so I'll have to catch it and drink it some other day."

After cursing and swearing, the door became quiet again, and the guards probably fell asleep again.
