Inside the Jian Zhi Palace, Chuntao took the ice pad and put it on Su Qing"s wound. She gritted her teeth trying to hold back her tears, as her heart ache so badly.
"What are you crying for, don"t you see I"m perfectly fine?" Su Qing pulled down her collar and looked down in the mirror, she then breathed out in relief. She patted the back of Chuntao"s hand and said: "Fortunately, it didn"t have red bubble burn, or else it would be a problem."
"Your Highness, the Seventh Princess has gone too far in bullying others." Chuntao unable to bear it and cried, "If …if His Majesty was here, he would never allowed this to happen…."
Su Qing flicking her eyes lightly, and just about to pull down the collar of her clothes further, the door inside the hall was kicked open with a bang from the outside, the door slammed on the wall on both sides and bounced back and a figure stretched out his hand to push it and walked in.
The sunlight outside was too dazzling, Su Qing blinked a few times before she could see clearly the person coming in. It was a young teenage boy, wearing white clothes, without any ornaments around his waist, but that immature face has cold expression, staring at them like a wolf trying to attack.
Chuntao got up in a hurry, and lowered her head did not dare to look at him: "This servant greeting His Highness the Ninth Prince."
Ninth Prince? The younger brother of the original body who is from the same mother?
Su Qing secretly sized up the person in front of her without making a sound.
"Get out!" Su Shisheng"s immature voice was full of coldness, a sudden simple sentence was enough to make Chuntao shiver: "If you can"t remember the rules of the palace, this prince will not mind teaching you again!"
"…..but …yes, this servant will retreat now." Chuntao looked at Su Qing full of worried, got up and hurried out.
As soon as Chuntao left, Su Shisheng turned around and closed the door and stood there without saying a word. But Su Qing could feel he let out a sigh of relief.
While she was in a daze, a white figure suddenly rushed into my arms. Fortunately, she quickly supported herself with her palm to prevent herself from falling down.
"Arg——" It ended up touching her burning wound, Su Qing took a breath of cool air.
"Ah Jie (older sister), are you a fool? Didn"t you know how to dodge when she splashed you hot water!" Su Shisheng hurriedly lifted his small head, and his eyes were covered with tears. He squatted beside her and look at the scalded place with heartache. That tender young hand did not dare to touch her wound at all, and could only bite his lip and looked at it with anxious.
He looks very pitiful.
Su Qing froze in the same spot. She hasn"t recovered from the huge impact just now.
……What is going on here? Didn"t Chuntao say this pair of sister and brother are not getting well with each other? Every Time they met were like seeing enemy and always quarrel with each other…..
Su Shisheng saw Su Qing did not say anything, he thought that she was scared by his appearance a moment ago, he quickly got up, scratched his head awkwardly, lowered his head and murmured with a red face in embarra.s.sment: "Ah Jie, I didn"t mean to scare you just now, in fact …in fact I"m not so fierce…"
If Ah Jie is also afraid of him, he really doesn"t know what to do later on.
Su Qing"s eyes slightly droop, reached out her hand to rub that small head. Seeing that he looked up at her with wet eyes, Su Qing couldn"t help but burst out laughing.
Su Shisheng also giggled.
She finally realized, the so-called brother and sister are in "odd", it"s just a show for outsiders. She has to admit, the original body also had some cleverness in her.
"Oh, by the way, I secretly brought some medicine to treat the wounds from my palace. Ah Jie will have to bear with it a little bit." As he said, Su Shisheng took out a piece of tightly wrapped cloth from his sleeve and the ointment was hidden inside.
"It doesn"t hurt, doesn"t hurt at all." Su Qing replied.
Su Qing felt very grateful, in this strange world at least she still a loved ones around. Nothing is more fulfilling than this.
After applying the medicine, Su Shisheng took out a dagger from inside his sleeve and handed it to her, and said with gritting teeth: "I know Ah Jie has suffered at Seventh Lord"s place and that old women at the Gu Mansion is also not a good thing. Although this dagger is not very good, at least Ah Jie can keep it for self-defense. When I grew up, I will certainly take you back, and build a big house for both of us to live."
Su Shisheng nodded firmly at her as he said that.
"Great, Ah Jie will wait for you." Su Qing smiled and put away the dagger. Feeling the softness just now, she couldn"t resist and touch a few more times on his head.
Su Shisheng glared at her and said in dissatisfied: "Ah Jie, you can"t touch anymore, I want to grow up to be a stand upright man who is able to support heaven and earth!" Even he said so, he didn"t move his head away.
Tsk, still a kid ah.
The siblings said a few more words before Su Shisheng had to go. After all, Su Shisheng was raised under a concubine, so it"s very convenient to stay longer. He repeatedly advised her like a little adult, before he reluctantly left her palace.
The minute Su Shisheng went out, Chuntao rushed in. She let out a sigh of relief when she saw Su Qing was safe and sound. But when she saw the medicine on the table, her heart jumped to her throat, and almost cried out: "Your Highness, how could you use the medicine from the Ninth Prince, what should this servant do if something bad happens to you?"
Hearing this, Su Qing didn"t know whether to laugh or cry.
This kid is still young, but his outside acting is not bad.
She hid the dagger in her sleeves not letting Chuntao to see it. Actually, it makes sense that the original body did not let Chuntao to know about this. Chuntao is timid, and has weak mind. Even though she will not betray her master, it would be easy for people to see the clues through her. One careless mistake would make the people in the palace find out.
At that moment, Su Yingruo showed up again, but coincidently, she happened to b.u.mp into the person sent by the Seventh Lord to deliver the message. Su Qing watched her tear the handkerchief in her hands into half.
Su Qing laughed at her face and said: "Seventh Royal sister is better to pray that my mouth is firm, otherwise, say something that shouldn"t be said.
Su Yingruo glared at her fiercely, but she couldn"t do anything to Su Qing and only watched the person left in front of her.
After walking for quite a far distance, Su Qing could hear the smashing sounds behind her.
————
At the main gate outside the palace, Su Qing saw Si Ting was waiting outside the carriage.
He jumped down from the carriage, took the small stool and placed it on the ground for Su Qing to go up. Chuntao wanted to follow in but was stopped by him. He shook his head and said with a shape of his mouth without making a sound: "Seventh Lord is inside."
Su Qing who was already inside, looking at the person lying lazily in front of her, there was a flash of blank in her brain.
Hiding her hands in her sleeves, she called softly: "Seventh Lord."
Seeing no response, Su Qing did not bother to wait, she simply sat near the curtain. When the carriage started to run, there was a wind blowing on her side neck, cool and comfortable.
"Come here." Gu Zifu opened his eyes.
Su Qing"s heart tightened, but still moved carefully toward him with her head hung down, like a kitten struggling in silence.
Who would have expected that the carriage was unstable all of a sudden, Su Qing"s body could not fight the gravity and slid forward uncontrollably. The pleasant smell came with the pain at the tip of her nose.
She she she……she unexpectedly fell into Gu Zifu"s arms?!!
Su Qing didn"t even dare to look up, she hurriedly wanted to get up but suddenly felt her waist was tightened, and she has pushed back again. The slender fingers gently caress around her waist. Even though it was separated by clothing, she still couldn"t help shivering.
"Seventh Lord?"
Gu Zifu chuckled and pinched her waist lightly: "The young lady"s body is really soft."
Su Qing was too afraid to move.
"Oh, the waist is very thin, the skin should be very smooth and tender as well."
"Su Qing: "……"
But Su Qing panicked the next second. She clenched on her dress and tried to make her voice as calm as possible, but because of panic, the sobbing tears unconsciously fell at the end of her sentence: "Seventh Lord….."
Gu Zifu thought that her appearance now is very fascinating. He slightly glanced at the back of that pure jade hand and clicked his tongue twice before saying: "The book says women are made of water. These words not false at all."
"……" Su Qing bite her lip and stared at him.
The book also says, go in vertically, come out horizontally. If falls into the hands of the Seventh Lord, it would be another matter.
Thinking of this, Su Qing felt more depressed, she simply let go of her body and kept her head down.
Gu Zifu felt that the little girl in his arms gave up resistance for no reason, and the smile on his face grew stronger. He simply pulled her waist and put the person on his thighs, his long fingers slid across her collarbone and finally landed in the burned area between her neck.
"Hurt." Su Qing struggled to get up.
"Don"t move." Gu Zifu pushed the collar aside, looking at the bright red spot on the tender skin and said with teasing voice: "The burned seemed quite serious."
Su Qing collected her tears and looked up in surprise: "Seventh Lord, you knew?"
Gu Zifu smiled, turned his body and knocked on a spot of the carriage wall, a small dark box suddenly popped out, there were several colored bottles lying inside.
Su Qing saw him took out the blue bottle, slightly nudged it at his fingertips and then applied it to the scalded area. The cold feeling made her subconsciously grasp the thing under her hands.
Gu Zifu"s clothes were loosely tied to his body, with such a pulled by her, his radiance chest was fully displayed in front of her, Su Qing was so scared quickly loosen her hands and lowered her head dare not to look up.
"Little rogue." A burst of low laughter pa.s.sed into her ears, and hot breathed sprayed into her ear at the same time, making Su Qing blushed, her eyes are more and more fluttering involuntarily glancing at his chest. She inwardly despite herself but her mouth did not stop.
"Seventh Lord is also a rogue." Su Qing muttered in a low voice.
Gu Zifu raised an eyebrow and moved closer to her neck. He said with an ambiguous smile: "That"s also a rogue who can make a fan from human skin and bone."
When he said that, he could feel the entire body of a little girl in his arms was tense all of a sudden, and her breathing became slow. Seeing her nervous and jumpy appearance like this made him could not help but wanted to tease her more. He reached out his hand to hook on Su Qing"s chin and making her looked at him. He said faintly: "Crying? This Seventh Lord will take back what I just said."
Su Qing blinked, and the teardrop fluttered along her eyelashes faintly wanted to shake down, but at the next second, she felt the warmth came from her eyelid. She looked up in shock and saw Gu Zifu was licking the corner of his lips.
"Um, salty."
Su Qing was full of tears at this moment, and the burning sensation has spread across her face to her neck and could not distinguish whether it was from the burned or her blushed.
She stared at Gu Zifu"s smiling face, grinded her teeth fiercely, and exclaimed in furious: "Hum, old rogue."
After that, she turned her face and looked away from him.
Gu Zifu burst out laughing. His chest moved up and down from laughing, making Su Qing felt even more embarra.s.sed.
Si Ting who was riding the hose outside, almost throwing out the reins in his hands from shocked.
Seventh Lord, he…hasn"t laughed like this for years.
