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

Chapter 147 Don't be afraid, I'm here

Taoist Ling Xiao felt a chill on his back, swallowed, and said, "No, if I lose my life, it's useless to take more money. I'll pack it up now and find a chance to slip away later."

After Taoist Ling Xiao made up his mind, he still did not forget to wander around the house, thinking: "These ornaments look quite valuable, if you take two more out, you should be able to exchange them for a lot of silver..."

……

The night came, and a cool wind blew at this time, and the night sky was dark, which was a sign of heavy rain.

Hedge garden.

Gu Changgeng took some pastries, changed into black night clothes, and walked out of the garden with light steps.

The dark night sky was illuminated by a flash of lightning.

Gu Changgeng frowned, remembering Lin Qingqian's fear of thunder, he hurried towards the firewood room of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

When we got outside the woodshed, it was not like usual, the door was guarded by two guards, but there were guards all around the woodshed. If you wanted to go in, you would definitely alarm the guards.

It started to rain patter, Gu Changgeng lowered his eyes, thought for a moment, then his eyes suddenly fell on the roof.

There is a skylight on the roof for light and ventilation, maybe he can enter from above.

Gu Changgeng took advantage of the fact that there were no guards not paying attention, and jumped onto the roof of the firewood house with a little force. In the dark, he searched carefully, and soon found the location of the sky.

In the woodshed.

Lin Qingqian curled her body up in a corner, covered her ears with her hands, closed her eyes tightly, and her breathing became rapid due to fear.

The night outside was constantly illuminated by lightning. In such a weather, without any accident, there would definitely be thunder.

Lin Qingqian comforted herself with a trembling voice: "It's nothing serious...it's just thunder, cover your ears, if you can't hear it, it's okay, it's okay..."

Suddenly, there was an explosion of thunder outside, Lin Qingqian was so frightened that she trembled all over, biting her lips tightly, not daring to make a sound, the corners of her eyes were moist, and tears began to flow out uncontrollably.

"Woooo..."

Gu Changgeng pried open the ceiling, jumped down, and landed lightly in the woodshed.

Looking around anxiously, he saw Lin Qingqian squatting in a corner, huddled in a ball, sobbing, his heart tightened suddenly, he walked quickly to her side, and whispered: "Qingqian, don't be afraid, I'm here .”

Lin Qingqian's body froze, and she raised her head, seeing Gu Changgeng's chiseled face in the dim candlelight.

Dazed, she threw herself into Gu Changgeng's arms, clung to Gu Changgeng's waist tightly, and said with a sob: "Brother Changgeng, you are here, woooo... It's thundering, I'm afraid, don't push me away, I'm afraid." It's good to hold you for a while, and let you go after a while..."

Gu Changgeng stiffened his body in bewilderment, and subconsciously wanted to push Lin Qingqian's hand away, but after hearing her choked up voice, he finally let it go, her clothes were covered in blood, and he never disliked it.

Gu Changgeng whispered: "Don't be afraid, it's nothing, it's just thunder."

Lin Qingqian held Gu Changgeng in her arms and cried for a stick of incense, before she managed to stop her sobbing, let go of her hand, and turned to grab Gu Changgeng's sleeve.

When it thunders, she doesn't grab something, she doesn't feel safe.

Lin Qingqian whispered: "Brother Chang Geng, how did you come in? The window was nailed to death by guards from the outside, and there were guards around the woodshed."

"I came in from the sky on the roof."

Lin Qingqian followed Gu Changgeng's gaze upwards, only to realize that there was a window on the roof, which should have the same purpose as a modern skylight.

Gu Changgeng opened the cloth bag he brought and put it in front of Lin Qingqian, "You must be hungry. I brought the hawthorn cake and sweet-scented osmanthus cake I bought today. Eat something to fill your stomach."

Lin Qingqian nodded, after eating breakfast today, she didn't eat half a grain of rice, she was really hungry.

After eating two cakes in a row, Gu Changgeng saw that she was choking a bit, so he thought of getting up and pouring her a bowl of water. As soon as he moved, Lin Qingqian clenched his sleeves tightly, her black and white eyes sparkling, okay? looked at him pitifully.

"Brother Chang Geng, are you going back?"

Gu Changgeng couldn't help stroking the top of her hair, "If you don't go back, I'll pour you a bowl of water. The pastry is a bit dry, so I'm afraid you'll choke on it."

Only then did Lin Qingqian let go of her hand, and said embarrassedly, "Thank you Brother Chang Geng."

After filling his stomach, the thunderstorm outside the house also stopped, and Lin Qingqian remembered the business.

"Brother Chang Geng, after I was brought to the woodshed today, did mother and the others make things difficult for you?"

"No."

Lin Qingqian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she was still worried that the Xu family would punish Gu Changgeng severely.

She frowned and said: "Brother Chang Geng, don't be so reckless next time, it's better not to let others know about your martial arts practice with Grandpa Feng."

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Lin Qingqian nodded, and asked again: "Brother Chang Geng, why did you come back so early today? Didn't you see Grandpa Feng?"

"Master and Han Ye went to the mountains to collect herbs, and it took two or three days to come back. I didn't see him in Taohua Village, so I came back on horseback."

"Oh, so it's like this..."

Gu Changgeng took out a small white porcelain bottle from his bosom and handed it to Lin Qingqian. Lin Qingqian blinked her eyes in doubt, "Brother Chang Geng, this is..."

"I took the plaster from Master last time. It is very useful for treating trauma. You apply it to the place where you were strangled by the rope today."

When Gu Changgeng mentioned it, Lin Qingqian only belatedly remembered the injury from being strangled by the rope.

She smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, Brother Chang Geng."

Gu Changgeng gave a soft "hmm", and after Lin Qingqian took the ointment, he took the initiative to turn his back, "Call me after applying the ointment."

Lin Qingqian couldn't help chuckling, maybe she has never seen a man who strictly guards against men and women in modern times, and at this moment, she finds Gu Changgeng inexplicably cute.

Lin Qingqian raised her sleeves and applied the ointment to the reddened area of ​​her arms.

The ointment has a refreshing and cooling feeling, which is very comfortable and relieves the discomfort.

……

The East Wing of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Outside Taoist Ling Xiao's wing.

The guard yawned, lowered his voice and said impatiently: "This priest is too troublesome, he has gone to the latrine four or five times tonight."

"Be more energetic, the old lady can tell you that you must follow the Taoist priest. If he suddenly disappears or something happens, we will lose our heads!"

Another guard wiped his face, forced himself to cheer up, and said, "Don't worry, I know."

Taoist Ling Xiao in the room turned around anxiously.

He originally wanted to sneak away in the middle of the night, but now the guards outside followed him every step of the way, let alone sneaking away, he couldn't even disappear from their sight for a moment.

"What should I do? The people who went to Zhenyuan Temple came back after dawn, and everything must be concealed. There is also that maid and wife. They don't seem to be good. Nothing will end well..."

……

woodshed.

After Lin Qingqian had eaten her fill, she couldn't resist the drowsiness that hit her. She was sleepy and tired. She leaned her head against the wall and said, "Brother Chang Geng, I'm a little sleepy. I want to sleep for a while. There is no thunder outside. Hurry up." Go back soon."

"I'll wait before leaving."

Lin Qingqian was so sleepy that her upper and lower eyelids were fighting, and said vaguely: "Well, then you remember to go back before dawn, be careful... Be careful not to be discovered by others..."

Before she finished speaking, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Looking at her slightly pale face, Gu Changgeng couldn't help but feel distressed, so he took off his black shirt and gently covered her body.
