The moment Gu Qingli saw Li Yue, she couldn't shift her gaze away. The eyebrows outside the red veil, the plum makeup between her eyebrows … Today, she had changed her style to a three-petal plum shaped like a flame. It looked more like her red dress.
Clearly, Li Yue had also noticed her gaze. With a proud smile, she turned her face to the side, silently announcing that it was Xiao Yi Xiu's handiwork. So what if he saw it, so what if he was unhappy? Then his gaze landed on the mosquito bun on Gu Qing Li's forehead, frozen and motionless.
Suifeng obviously noticed that the atmosphere was not right. He took two glances and saw the makeup on Li Yue's forehead. Knowing this, he began to move his feet, cautiously and imperceptibly retreating out the door. If a gentleman was not in danger, it would be better for him not to stay in this battlefield where fire blazed in their eyes.
Gu Qingli took a deep breath and silently said to herself that she had to remain calm. Then, she turned around and walked out the door. She asked Suifeng, "Where's Jin Shu?"
Suifeng looked up at her and burst into laughter, then quickly withdrew his smile with a twisted expression. The wangfei was the prelude to a volcanic eruption, laughing was not seeking death. However, when compared to the space between Li Yue's eyebrows and that of the wangfei's, he really couldn't help it.
"Is the princess looking for Jin Shu? I'll take you there. "
Gu Qingli couldn't stand the stiff, twisted expression on Suifeng's face as she forced a smile. She snapped, "If you want to laugh, laugh!"
"Esteemed wangfei, are you really not angry?"
"Why should this wangfei be angry?"
Wind Following Sword threw his head back and laughed out loud three times. Then, he covered his stomach and said, "I'm sorry, consort …" I can't help it, haha … "
Gu Qingli ignored him with a darkened face. She saw Jinshu sitting in the room with her pants rolled up high. She took the medicine she had gotten from Liu Yanyu this morning and was applying it on her own knee.
"Jin Shu …"
Jin Shu jumped in fright. She wanted to get up and kneel, but Gu Qing Li placed a hand on her shoulder and sat her down. "Come, this wangfei will take a look."
Jin Shu looked doubtfully at Suifeng, her face showed some fear, but Suifeng shrugged at her, indicating that it was none of my business, then left.
"What's wrong with your knee? and accidentally kneeled on some broken glass? " Gu Qingli used the soft and wet cloth to slowly clean the wound, then she took out the embroidery needle from her clothes and slowly picked at the bright glaze fragments in the wound.
"Princess, you can't …" "Your humble servant's body …" Jinshu was nervous and frightened, unable to figure out what was going on with her. In fact, after the new wangfei had entered the palace, she had never had any interaction with her. For Xiao Yixiu's sake, she had a cold expression on her face when she saw wangfei.
Gu Qingli didn't think too much about it. It was just an occupational attack on her part. When she saw Jin Shu clumsily treating her wounds, she couldn't bear to watch any longer and took it over.
"Cleaning up this wound is the most important thing. If you don't clear the broken glass, the medicine would infect you. I can't kneel anymore these few days. I'll explain it clearly to the prince later. It's best for me to lie down for a few days. "
Seeing that she didn't seem to have any ill intentions, Jinshu bitterly smiled and said, "How can we, as servants, have the chance to lie down for a few days?" He didn't have time to clean up his wounds last night, so he went to help Lady Li Yue take a bath … "Later on, he picked out pieces of glazed glass under the lamp. The light wasn't good, so he didn't pick them all."
"Hmm?" It was clear that Xiao Yi Xiu hadn't noticed that she was kneeling on the broken glass. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so heartless.
"Why didn't you tell him?"
Jin Shu bit her lower lip and didn't speak, but she remembered what Li Yue had said last night.
"Why has the wangfei come to find me?"
"Oh …" Actually, since he's not here looking for the prince, he might as well come over to ask you, or maybe Feng Zhaoxuan has a mosquito repellent scented bag, can you find a few for me? " Gu Qishao suddenly didn't want to tell her to do it personally. He had to wait for her to tell him.
Jin Shu looked at the red packet on her forehead and nodded her head in understanding, "For such a small matter, you can just ask Yu Ying to do it, there is no need for you to do it yourself. This servant will find it for you in a while. "
Gu Qingli smiled, but didn't say anything. She cleaned up the wound and applied medicine to her at the same time.
Jin Shu limped over to get a few scented packets for her, then asked curiously: "Isn't there a cloud curtain in the Princess's room? Why do you need a sachet to repel mosquitoes? "
Gu Qingli's expression stiffened. I can't say that your prince pulled the blame on him, it's too easy for people to let their imaginations run wild.
Jin Shu blinked, instantly understanding. It was unknown what she understood, but she suddenly said carefully, "Esteemed wangfei, you … "Be careful of Miss Li Yue."
"Hmm?" Gu Qingli didn't understand. She's your Prince's savior, so what should we do with her? "
Jin Shu looked around, gritted her teeth and whispered into her ear, saying what she had said to Li Yue when she was bathing.
This fake Li Yue was actually so vicious, which surprised Gu Qingli the most. She thought for a moment. "Jinshu, Miss Li Yue didn't seem to be this kind of person before?"
"In the past, she also had a cold and prideful face, disdaining to talk to others too much. But, she really doesn't look like she does now … It is said that she has lost her memory. "
"You've never thought about it. What if this Li Yue is not the same as the previous one?"
Jin Shu's expression changed, and she said in a low voice, "Royal Consort, you absolutely cannot say such words in front of the Prince! Even if you are an imperial concubine … "Ai, even if she isn't, no one has ever seen her face before, how can they tell?"
"Why doesn't she let people see her face?"
"This servant thinks, or is she ugly?" Jin Shu guessed, then covered her mouth.
Gu Qingli smiled. She had already achieved her goal, so she turned and left.
There were very few guests from the Mo King's Manor who came to visit early in the morning, and this was most likely related to their position. How could a civil servant who had taken office in the imperial court have free time all day long? He would always be busy until the evening when he could rest. Therefore, this matter was an urgent one that needed to be discussed.
As Gu Qingli thought of this, she decided not to wait for Xiao Yixiu any longer and prepared to leave.
When he arrived at the entrance of the study, he was stunned to see Xiao Yixiu and Assistant Minister Lin coming out together.
Vice Minister Lin respectfully bowed and said, "This official will go see Liu Xin first." Judging from his hurried footsteps, the hardships of these days of yearning must be unbearable. She didn't want to stop even for a moment.
"Does Your Highness not plan on letting Liuxin return to Assistant Minister Lin's estate?"
Xiao Yi Xiu said calmly, "As long as the crown prince takes the lead, Liu Xin will not be able to return to the assistant minister's mansion. I also do not wish to do so."
Gu Qingli curled her lips. "The house of wealth has already been filled for months. Could it be that your highness wants Liu Xin to stay there forever?"
Xiao Yixiu's brows furrowed as if he was displeased, but his tone slowed down in the end. "Liu Xin has changed the fate of the entire Lin Family. As long as she appears, she will be used as a weapon to attack Lin Zhihan."
"But there are still a lot of people in the Palace with ulterior motives. If Prince Chen found out about it last time, wouldn't he be afraid of the rest of the people in the Palace finding out?"
Staring at her, Xiao Yixiu's heart quivered, and he felt that she was hinting at something.
"Princess Wangfei couldn't have come here on purpose to remind This King of this, right?"
Gu Qingli waved the perfume bag in front of his eyes. "Come and ask Jinshu for a few mosquito-repellent perfume bags."
Xiao Yi Xiu was startled, but when he saw the red packet on her forehead, he couldn't help but smile like Suifeng did. In the end, he couldn't hold it in and reached out his hand to pat her forehead and smiled, "Other people's hearts are adorned with the red packet of ambrosia or the imperial concubine's forehead. "It's also very pretty."
Gu Qing Li's face darkened. She gritted her teeth and said in a low voice, "How can you be in a good mood, Prince? You've already painted someone else's face so beautifully early in the morning?"
She brushed past him without looking back, leaving behind Xiao Yixiu who frowned with a puzzled expression on his face.
