This was the third time Gu Hua Jing had opened her eyes on this large carved bed.

The first time, she was awakened by the pain. It was as if someone was cutting her throat with a knife. The pain made her feel as if she was being cut apart.

But when she opened her eyes and looked around, she actually didn't care about the pain.

The top of his head was a lotus root colored bed curtain with exquisite and round creases. There were also some green lotuses embroidered on it, giving it a vivid and lifelike appearance.

His body was covered with a red-colored brocade blanket, and large clusters of Cloud Twisted Flower embroidered on it looked as if flowers had blossomed from the blanket.

Gu Hua Jing endured the pain and tried to turn her head. Not far from the bed, there was a screen embroidered with green bamboo mountain stones. It was elegantly decorated.

No matter which corner she looked at, what she saw would make her cry out in alarm again and again. Although the pain was so great that even her breathing was tormented, she could no longer make any sound.

All of these seemed like good stuff, but they were also things that she was completely unfamiliar with!

This strange thought made Gu Hua Jing's heart tremble. She couldn't control the astonishment in her heart and fainted again …

The second time she woke up, Gu Hua Jing was able to distinguish between what was important and what wasn't. So what if she wasn't familiar with it? Right now, the most important thing was the pain!

It was heart-wrenching pain. His temples throbbed, and even his breath felt like it was boiling hot! Gu Hua Jing was shocked to discover that she was still in the same posture as when she had fainted. Could it be that after so long, no one had come in to see her?

Judging from the environment he was in, it seemed that he had a pretty good family background. Why was there no one serving him in the room?

Would anyone care if she was going to die?

Gu Hua Jing, who had already experienced it once, insisted on waiting for someone to drink some water. However, she didn't see any movement, so she fainted once again …

Now this was the third time.

Gu Hua Jing's mind was still clear. Because she was too clear-headed, she was still afraid.

She had already died once. Because of her illness, even when she was dying, she didn't sound as good as she should have.

This suffering was really too unbearable. It was hard for her to endure the pain due to her thirst, but she still had the urge to cry.

Just as she was thinking whether she should faint or not, Gu Hua Jing suddenly heard a sound from outside. It was a hoarse and shrewd voice, probing the sound of the door as she spoke to the inside of the house.

"Fourth Miss Gu, you should admit your wrongs. It's not like the madame is unreasonable, but Gu Si xiaojie disregarded the Bai family's rules and charged at the old lady. She is still unrepentant, so the old lady must be angry."

Gu Hua Jing immediately felt goosebumps all over her body. What was wrong? She could admit it!

As long as someone came and gave her some water, she wouldn't hesitate to admit it no matter what!

The instinct to survive made Gu Hua Jing want to speak, but her throat was indeed too dry. She could only make sounds of "drink", which was her limit.

The people outside did not get a response. They seemed to be impatient.

"With Fourth Miss Gu's temper, it's inevitable that she'll suffer a lot." Senior Servant Tian, it's not that I don't want you to go in and take a look, but the madame has an order. No one is allowed to help her.

At this moment, another voice sounded, crying, "Qian Wen's family, I beg you, let them go. My Miss is still sick, if no one goes in to take care of her, she will die!"

"Aiya, aiya, Senior Servant Tian, what you're saying is too unlucky. It's just a mistake for us to recognize you. Look, she's still unwilling to lower her head. Where's she going to die so easily?"

"Don't, don't go too far!"

"Yo yo yo, don't tell me you want to call for reinforcements?" Where to? Could it be the Gu Family? "

"Have you thought about it? It's Fourth Miss Gu who forbade you from delivering letters to the Gu household, not us. If that happens, your young miss won't be able to think it through …" Can you afford it? "

"Let me go, let go …!"

Gu Hua Jing felt an incomparable headache listening to this, and her temples jumped to the point of bursting apart.

The conversation outside was getting more and more heated? Why didn't anyone enter to see if he was still breathing?! The rightful owner of this body, Fourth Miss Gu, had already passed away! If they continued to chat, her soul would be about to leave her body.

Gu Hua Jing didn't want to wait for death by herself. She turned her head and saw an incense burner by her bedside. Even though there was no incense burning inside, it looked heavy. This was what was important.

Gu Hua Jing took a deep breath as if she had made up her mind. She endured the pain and tried her best to reach out her hand towards the incense burner …

"BOOM!"

After successfully pushing the censer onto the ground, Gu Hua Jing didn't have any strength left, but she felt that it was still worth it because this censer was really heavy. The sound was so loud that it made the people outside stop talking.

"Fourth Miss Gu?" "Fourth Miss Gu?"

Come in quickly!

Gu Hua Jing was lying on the bed, gasping for breath, like a pile of mud.

If no one came to look after her, Gu Hua Jing felt that she would have to answer for herself. That's good too, this place on her left and right wasn't a familiar world …

At this moment, the door finally opened a crack with a creak.

Gu Hua Jing raised her head with much difficulty. Through the screen, she couldn't see the person's appearance clearly. All that could be heard was her soft, almost inaudible voice, "Fourth Miss Gu?"

Gu Hua Jing didn't even have the strength to reply. The ashes from the incense burner made the smell in the room very strange.

Seeing that there was no movement from inside the house, the person actually tried to turn his head back. Unexpectedly, he was pushed aside by the person rushing in from outside. He staggered two steps forward and bumped into the table.

"Miss! "Miss!"

This should be the crying Senior Servant Tian, right? Gu Hua Jing didn't know why, but she finally calmed down and let herself faint again.

When he woke up again, the pain in his throat had been alleviated by quite a bit. Only his body was still lifelessly heavy, and all the bones in his body were faintly aching.

The lotus root colored bed curtain was still on the top of his head, and the large bed with complex patterns carved on it was still on the bottom.

Gu Hua Jing's eyes were staring straight up at the sky. There was no focus in her eyes, so why was it in this strange place?

"Miss?! You're awake? "

When Senior Servant Tian entered the room, she saw the pleasant surprise on Gu Hua Jing's face. She hastily placed the medicine bowl to the side and walked over to the bedside, tears brimming from her eyes.

"But where else does it hurt? Miss, you scared this old servant to death, this old servant almost thought that … "I thought …"

Senior Servant Tian was already old and was constantly wiping away her tears with the corner of her sleeve. Her fearful appearance made Gu Hua Jing's empty heart feel a little more at ease.

It wasn't bad if there was someone who still cared about her, but the person she cared about had already changed …

After crying for a while, Senior Servant Tian seemed to feel that this wasn't a good idea and that there was no need to make the young miss sad to make her illness worse. She hurriedly wiped away her tears and turned around to take the bowl in her hands.

"Young miss drank the medicine. The doctor said that it was fortunate that young miss had a strong body, otherwise …"

As she spoke, a trace of resentment appeared on Senior Servant Tian's benevolent face. "Those people from the Bai Clan want to force you to your death!"

Gu Hua Jing's mind was blank. No matter what Senior Servant Tian said, she wouldn't be able to unite with her enemy. But since she was still alive, she didn't plan on wasting this opportunity.

"Senior …"

Gu Hua Jing wanted to use this as an excuse to see if she could get anything out of Senior Servant Tian, but she was stunned the moment she opened her mouth. Was this voice hers?

How did the low voice she was once so proud of become like this? Even though she was still hoarse from her severe illness, wasn't she too soft and gentle?

"Miss, don't be afraid. Even if I die, I won't let those people slander you! Drink the medicine first. "

"…" Gu Hua Jing maintained her shock as she lowered her head to look at the pitch-black medicinal liquid. It felt like ink, and it was even thicker and stranger. However, the medicinal smell it emitted was so familiar that it made her feel at ease.

The smell was too strong, making her nose sour and her body nauseous. Just when she was afraid that she might vomit, Tian mama quickly stuffed a sweet thing into her mouth.

It was a candied fruit. The taste was not outstanding. Other than a sweet taste, there was no other taste, but it was better than nothing. The disgusting taste was suppressed.

Senior Servant Tian took the empty bowl into her hands, a strange expression on her face. "Miss seems to have understood a lot more after getting sick. Previously, I had to break my lips and warm my mouth two or three times before I was willing to drink a little."

Senior Servant Tian unexpectedly had a face full of gratification. Gu Hua Jing was astonished. Why was Gu Hua Jing so willful in the past? However, this body doesn't look like a child. Didn't they say that the ancient people were intelligent long ago?

"Momo, I'm sick with a headache. Many things hurt just thinking about it. If Momo doesn't have anything to do, why don't you talk to me …"

Gu Hua Jing tried her best to adapt to her new tone and imagined the attitude of a lady from a noble family. She weakly leaned against the headboard, planning to pry into the military intelligence.

Senior Servant Tian didn't notice anything amiss. Previously, the doctor had said it was really dangerous, and he had also said that something might have happened to her.

Thus, Senior Servant Tian picked up an embroidery block and sat down on the edge of the bed, casually talking to Gu Hua Jing.

Gu Hua Jing was half lying on the bed, listening to a story. It seemed to be a terrifying one at that …

She had actually gotten married. When she had heard people call her 'Fourth Miss Gu', she had thought that she was still a girl, but she hadn't expected that she had already gotten married.

This form of address... Senior Servant Tian spoke with tears of heartache.

She was the first daughter of the Gu family in the capital, and also the only daughter. She had been doted on since childhood and had three older brothers. She was ranked fourth, and was the youngest daughter.

The Gu family was a Venerable family, and her father, Gu Yuan Pei, was the Minister of Revenue, so even if she had been a little willful and willful, she shouldn't have ended up in her current state.

Blame it on Gu Hua Jing being able to fall in love with the Bai Clan's second young master, Bai Lingtian, when she was young.
