Chapter 16 Lin Qingqian's Guilt

After last night, Lin Qingqian gained some insight into Gu Changgeng's temperament.

This time, there is no need to pinch your thighs hard, blink your eyes hard a few times, and your eyes will become watery, and your voice will have a hint of crying: "Brother Chang Geng, you haven't eaten for a day, if you don't eat, you will starve to death." Physically, would you like to eat a little?"

As she expected, Gu Changgeng opened his closed eyes, glanced at Lin Qingqian who was about to cry, and frowned.

After a while, Gu Changgeng had a stern face, his face smelled terrible, but he picked up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and put it in his mouth.

After Gu Changgeng ate it, Lin Qingqian smiled happily and said flatteringly, "The sweet-scented osmanthus cake is a bit choking, I'll pour brother Changgeng a glass of water."

There was a teapot and a broken porcelain bowl on the floor of the firewood room, which should have been specially given to Gu Changgeng. After all, Gu Changgeng was ordered by the emperor to be raised by Lin Langtian. If he died in the prime minister's residence, it would be difficult to explain.

Lin Qingqian poured out a bowl of water and handed it over, "Brother Chang Geng, drink water."

Gu Changgeng didn't want to take it at first, but when he saw Lin Qingqian's mouth puckered, and he pretended to cry again, he took a sip by accident, put down the bowl, his face became colder and colder as he thought of something.

Lin Qingqian ate one piece of the half box of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and the rest went into Gu Changgeng's stomach.

Gu Changgeng sat silently with a cold face, Lin Qingqian took the initiative to approach her, rolled her eyes, and asked, "Did brother Changgeng take medicine for the wound on his back? Does it hurt?"

Gu Changgeng didn't want to pay attention to her, and turned a deaf ear to her words.

"Brother Chang Geng, have you taken any medicine? Does the injury still hurt?"

"..." Gu Changgeng continued to ignore it.

"Brother Chang Geng, tell me, otherwise I won't be relieved, or..." A cunning flashed in Lin Qingqian's eyes, "Take off your clothes, how about I help you look at the wound?"

Gu Changgeng gritted his teeth, his face was gloomy, and he almost couldn't help blurting out, shameless!Men and women have different seats at seven years old, does Lin Qingqian understand the difference between men and women?

Gu Changgeng still didn't speak, Lin Qingqian tirelessly shouted: "Brother Chang Geng...Brother Chang Geng..."

Gu Changgeng was about to yell at him, when the guard outside the door suddenly shouted: "Who? Who's talking inside!"

Lin Qingqian was startled, the thunder roared last night and the guards didn't wake up, so she relaxed her vigilance and didn't pay attention to what she said.

There was the sound of a guard unlocking the door.

Lin Qingqian was burning with anxiety, thinking about what to do.

Now climb out the window, I'm afraid it will be too late!

Gu Changgeng grabbed Lin Qingqian's arm suddenly, before she could react, she was pulled to a pile of corn stalks and stuffed inside.

"Don't make a sound."

As soon as the voice fell, the door was pushed open. The guard squinted his eyes and scanned the firewood room, and asked sharply, "Who was talking to you just now?"

Gu Changgeng sat down pretending to be nonchalant, and looked indifferently at the guards.

"I'm the only one in the firewood room, who can I talk to?"

"Are you really the only one?"

Gu Changgeng snorted coldly, showing an expression of not wanting to waste his tongue.

The guards were half-believing, and looked around every corner of the firewood room quietly. Finally, their eyes stayed behind Gu Changgeng. After staring for a moment, he walked away.

The dull footsteps made Lin Qingqian's heart skip a beat. Are you going to be discovered?
The guard reached out to check the corn stalks, Lin Qingqian closed her eyes in despair.

At the critical moment, Gu Changgeng held the guard's hand coldly, causing the guard to curse loudly: "Stinky boy, are you looking for death! Let go!"

"I haven't eaten for two days. I was so hungry that I couldn't bear it, so I couldn't help venting a few words. I didn't want to wake up my brother. Can you do me a favor? Give me something to eat?"

Gu Changgeng had always been desolate, and he didn't say a word when he was beaten with [-] lashes, but now he humiliated himself in order to eat, and the guards were obviously very useful.

The guard laughed arrogantly, spat on his face contemptuously, and cursed: "Go away, you think you are still a son of a family! If you hurt the second young master, you deserve to be punished. I have to bear it even if I am hungry. I can't bear it." It’s just right to live and die!”

Gu Changgeng was kicked by the guard and fell to the ground in embarrassment.

When interrupted, the guard forgot the purpose of checking just now, kicked Gu Changgeng a few more times, and swaggered out of the firewood room.

Lin Qingqian couldn't see Gu Changgeng's face clearly, he was lying on the ground, his hands tightened a little bit, she could hear the sound of bones cracking.

The heart follows closely.

Lin Qingqian came out of the pile of corn stalks without saying a word, took a handkerchief and carefully wiped Gu Changgeng's face clean, and whispered, "Brother Changgeng..."

Gu Changgeng looked at the guilty Lin Qingqian expressionlessly.

What is she guilty of?It's not like she didn't do something more vicious like this!
Concentrating his complicated thoughts, Gu Changgeng said coldly: "Go back, otherwise he will not have the good luck this time when he comes in again."

Lin Qingqian walked to the window, hesitated to speak, and couldn't help asking: "Brother Chang Geng, your injury...are you alright?"

Seeing that the guard kicked him a few times just now was not light, she couldn't help worrying, besides, he was already injured.

Gu Changgeng didn't want to answer at first, but seeing Lin Qingqian hesitated to leave, he said coldly: "It's okay."

"That's good. I'll go first. When Brother Chang Geng returns to Liyuan, I'll go to Liyuan to see you."

Lin Qingqian left, Gu Changgeng thought to himself, who cares about her going to Liyuan to see him? He didn't want her to deliver the medicine just now, and also caused her to be punished by the old lady, and offended Lin Qingyuan, even though he hated it from the bottom of his heart. she.

Lin Qingqian went back to the willow garden and lay down, her thoughts were in a mess.

After a long time, she let out a long sigh, closed her eyes, and let herself fall asleep.

……

As soon as the sky was bright, spring, summer, autumn and winter came to wait for Lin Qingqian to wash up, because she was going to pay her respects to the old lady today, so she was very careful about her clothes and jewelry.

Seeing the spring, summer, autumn and winter seasons when she wished she could wear more than a dozen hairpins, Lin Qingqian sighed softly, and took off all the hairpins, leaving only one elegant butterfly silver hairpin on her head.

"Miss, why did you take it all down? The servant girl finally combed your hair for you."

"That's right, miss is going to see the old lady, how can she not dress up decently."

Lin Qingqian thought to herself that she would be disgusted if she dressed up and went to see the old lady.

Picking up two silver hairpins and wearing them in spring and summer and autumn and winter respectively, the two of them hurriedly wanted to take them off in fear.

"Don't take it off, you look good in it, wear it, grandma should be waiting for me, stay here in autumn and winter, come with me to Jinglanyuan in spring and summer."

The two were grateful and saluted, but they were afraid that Lin Qingqian would be blamed by the old lady for being late, so they stopped talking.

Jinglan Court.

When the old lady heard that Lin Qingqian had come, her eyes lit up, she smiled, and said, "Let Qingqian come in."

Lin Qingqian bowed and saluted, "Grandmother."

"Come on, sit down."

Leading Lin Qingqian to sit beside her, the old lady said with a smile, "After Qingqian massaged me yesterday, my chronic headache has improved a lot, and I won't be so painful that I can't sleep at night."
