Chapter 72 Rattan
"Well, actually, I suspect that these silk threads were not deliberately messed up by His Majesty."

Cui Ling raised his eyes, and when his eyes touched a pair of black boots and the two golden dragons on them, his body froze involuntarily.

"What do you think?"

Cui Ling hesitated for a while, first coughed twice, and made great movements to straighten the thread.

But Zuo Qiuju didn't notice anything strange at all, and asked after hearing Cui Ling's answer, "What do you think His Majesty is using silk thread for? It's impossible to sew and mend it?"

Cui Ling: "..."

In order not to let Zuoqiuju's life end here, Cui Ling could only continue to cough.

"Lord Cui, you..." Zuo Qiuju frowned in surprise, and even slowly leaned back.

Seeing this, Cui Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment, he heard such a sentence.

Zuo Qiuju continued to speak, with a slight panic in his tone, "...Isn't it a cold? It's not right, it may be lung disease if you keep coughing, Mr. Cui! Go see the imperial physician, I'm here!"

Cui Ling: "..."

He did try his best, no wonder he did.

"Since you are here, you will be able to untangle all these threads." The man said lightly, and then walked into the hall.

This time the panic and fear on Zuoqiuju's face was real, his brows and eyes drooped, like an eggplant beaten by frost.

Before he was about to speak or complain or anything else, Cui Ling stood up immediately and left at an extremely fast speed.

Even when he left, Zuo Qiuju felt a gust of wind blowing by his side.

……

Gu Quyan was taken out of Shuntian Mansion. His injuries were serious, but most of them were flesh wounds. In addition, the medicine he used at a young age was good. In just two or three days, he was able to walk into the garden with the help of the servants. Go to the sun.

Seeing Gu Ruzhen approaching from a distance, she lowered her head a little guilty.

"Sister, why are you here? I'm actually fine."

Gu Ruzhen approached, lifted the cloak sewn with thick rabbit fur, and sat in front of Gu Tongyan.

Facing Gu Ruzhen's gaze, Gu Yanyan lowered his head lower and lower, until finally he could almost only see the back of his jet-black head and the red hairband tied on his bun.

Both ends of the hairband were embroidered with white cranes. After looking at it for a while, Gu Ruzhen's eyes softened.

When his mother was seriously ill, Que Yan was still very young, and because his hair was short, he only tied the longer hair with a thin rope.

In the garden at home, there were still two white cranes at that time. In the winter, Que Yan was wrapped up like a ball, pointing to the white cranes and expressing her love to her mother.

So during this period, my mother embroidered 24 headbands with different patterns. Among these patterns, there are seven or eight embroidered with white cranes.

Over the past ten years, the color on the hair band has actually faded a lot.

"Sister, I know I was wrong."

The boy drooped his head and did not dare to raise his head, because he was too nervous, and his hands were tightly clenched together.

In the past, there was no mistress in Gu Xiang's mansion, and it was impossible for the servants to have the courage to discipline them. The nuns left behind by his wife doted on Gu Quyan so much that he didn't know how powerful he was, and he was not afraid of anyone, and he was more courageous than the sky.

Even Gu Xiuwen couldn't control him, only Gu Ruzhen and the cane in her hand could control him.

"Stretch out your hand." Gu Ruzhen's face was serious, and she didn't feel any softening because of the young man's slump and pity.

Gu Quyan was trembling, but he stretched out his right hand without hesitation.

The palm of the hand is facing up, and the skin of the palm still has traces of being whipped.

Seeing this mark, Gu Ruzhen paused for a moment with the right hand holding the cane, and then hit it hard.

One, two, three...

"Do you know it wrong?"

Gu Yanyan hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, "Sister, if I encounter such a thing again, I will still choose to help."

Although he doesn't know whether the person he wants to help is good or evil.

"When did I ask you this?"

Gu Quyan was stunned for a moment, raised his head in confusion and asked, "What's the question?"

"You were taken into custody by the people of Shuntian Mansion, so you can obviously escape. Those people's skills are no match for you, aren't they? And they asked your name, as long as you say your name, you can come out."

Gu Quyan tightly pressed his lips together, his bright red lips were bitten to the point where they were bloodless.

"Gu Yuyan!"

"Sister, just think I'm stupid, I don't know how to work around."

It took a long time before Gu Ruzhen took out the ointment she had prepared, and wiped it carefully with a ball of cotton.

Halfway through wiping, she opened her mouth slowly.

"I know what you are doing, you are afraid of hurting me, right?" She paused, and then dipped some ointment, "Qianyan, you have to try to treat this place as your own home, my father and I are all you Relying on you, your dearest relatives, how can you talk about getting involved?"

Not far from the garden of Taishiling Mansion, there are many out-of-season flowers. The sun is shining warmly, making people feel that this is not a cold winter, but a spring full of business.

"Sister, our home is in Qing... in Shun'an, not here, is it?"

This sentence has been hidden in Gu Yuyan's heart for a long time. He misses his home in Qingxuan very much, whether it is the prime minister's mansion or the place where he lived with his father in the countryside.

Rather than now, both he and his father had an official position and a residence because his sister was favored by Emperor Tianqin.

He wanted to be a guard of honor for his elder sister and his father, not a burden that needed elder sister to save him.

"Gu Yuyan, do you know what you're talking about?"

Gu Ruzhen's brows and eyes sharpened, she became cruel, and stretched out her hand to slap the young man across the face, "I said I'm a close relative, so why bother? If one day sister and father can't help you, then we will be too Is it a drag on you?"

It turned out that he accidentally spoke out his heart.

"Sister, but..."

"You and father are here, this is our home." Although hesitant, Gu Ruzhen stood up, turned her back to the young man, and said softly, "Qianyan, in the future... he will also be your reliance. "

"Rest well, I'll come see you tomorrow."

After the person walked away for a long time, Gu Yuyan finally realized that he was the Emperor Tianqin that sister said.

But, is this really the case?
Not only the outsiders didn't understand, Gu Yuyan himself didn't understand either.

At that time, my sister was forced to marry into the Qingxuan royal family, Chu Lichen faced the Gu family's tablet face to face, and swore to his father and him that he would treat my sister well in this life, otherwise he would be struck by lightning , not a good death.

What is such a heavy oath?

Chu Lichen's good thing was to threaten the elder sister with the lives of the Gu family to enter the palace, and to accept the concubine after the elder sister entered the palace, and even accepted the second elder sister as a concubine.
