C257 Xianfu Gui Ning(1)

"If you don't believe me, it's not a favor. You just need to be told to cooperate. You have no other choice." Gu Qing Li's smile was gentle and beautiful. She lit up her jade-like palm, and specks of silver light reflected off of the candlelight, illuminating everyone's eyes.

"What are you doing?" Before Gu Qingli even understood what was going on, she had already reached out her hand and slapped the Bai Hui, Shan Zhong, and Giant Que acupoints on her head a few times before quickly withdrawing her hand.

Although Gu Qingxiao knew that the situation was bad, her mental reaction was much slower than Gu Qingli's movements. She instantly felt the fatal acupoints become alarmed, as if something sharp and cold had drilled into their skin.

"As long as I move, the silver needles in your body will dart around like fishes until your flesh and blood are drained and your Profound Qi is drained." Gu Qingli said casually. Although the silver needle could follow the meridian path to a wounded person, she had made up her own words just to frighten Gu Qingxiao.

"You … What exactly do you want me to do? " Gu Qingxiao felt the cold sensation of the meat drilling through her body. She subconsciously shivered as she swallowed all of the obscenities and obscenities in her mouth.

"Return to the Residence of Prime Minister and return to the city. Make sure to be the third lady of the Prime Minister and the second wife of the Prince Mo." Also, you must remember that the child in your womb has miscarried. " Gu Qingli explained a few things that needed her attention.

After all, he couldn't predict everything in the scene. Fortunately, he couldn't sit next to her in time to remind her so that she wouldn't show off.

"I... You really can get out? "

"Just out for a birthday feast." Gu Qingli carefully sized her up. "But you can leave the dungeon today. I still need to dress you up and adjust your state of mind."

Gu Qingxiao followed Gu Qing out of the dungeon in silence and obedience. When she saw the light outside, she subconsciously covered her face with her sleeves, as if afraid that she would blind her eyes and lose sight of the daylight for a long time.

Gu Qingli knew that those who had just come out of the darkness couldn't see the light, in case they were blinded, so she threw a handkerchief at Gu Qingli's eyes, revealing only half of it. She squinted her eyes and carefully followed Gu Qingli to the Birch Pavilion.

Xiao Yixiu didn't want to get along with Gu Qingli, so his disgust for Gu Qingxiao increased by a bit. He stayed in the living room of the Vermillion Bird Courtyard, allowing Gu Qingli to accompany her inside.

Although the room was illuminated by the sunlight, it was still much more gentle and warm in the end. It was no longer like a needle that could prick one's eyes with tears. Gu Qingli untied the handkerchief covering Gu Qingxiao's eyes and allowed her to get used to it for a while before summoning the maidservants in. She instructed the secondary concubine to wash herself properly and change her clothes.

Although no one was abusing Gu Qingxiao in the dungeon, they couldn't treat her like their ancestor. Since the water supply underground was limited, the caretaker naturally couldn't boil such a large barrel of water every day for her to bathe in. Therefore, it was already extravagant for her to wipe off the warm water on her body once or twice a month. If there were too many, he would be scolded and even ridiculed by the shadow guard.

She had been underground for so long that she stank. She had washed and changed her clothes in two sets, and they were all greasy and smelled of all sorts of things. The cuffs of her sleeves were worn out.

She had to change the water in the tub three times, and the one who served Gu Qingxiao was Xing'er. White-eyed was about to flip over to the sky, but when she went out to change the water, she secretly took the time to complain to Jinshu, saying that after she served this secondary wife, she would have to wash herself thoroughly from top to bottom to get rid of that rotten smell.

Jin Shu and Yu Ying covered their mouths as they secretly laughed, their faces full of schadenfreude. The two of them were the senior maids, so they naturally would not do such a thing.

Gu Qingxiao's long hair had formed into many lumps and could not be washed away. Thus, she could only trim them slightly. Fortunately, the amount of hair she had was not obvious.

Xing'er dressed her in a brocade gown, a dress of beautiful flowers and a fairy dress. She dried her long hair, rubbed it with scented hair oil, and put on a brocade bun. She finally looked like a miss, except that her face was pale and very thin, completely different from when she first married.

However, the current Gu Qingxiao seemed to have restrained herself a lot. She was cautious to the point of almost being timid. She carefully sat there and didn't even dare to assign Xing'er a task.

While Xing'er went out to take care of herself, Gu Qingxiao carefully examined the courtyard. She knew that this was where Xin Ziyao had lived in the past. It was an extremely unlucky place, but she also knew that there wouldn't be a good place for her to live.

Stepping out of the bedroom, she would look left and right, afraid that the shadow guards would notice her misdeeds. Only after seeing that no one was around did she dare to come out, squinting at the winter sun, taking in a deep breath of the biting cold air. The cold air pricked her lungs to the point where it hurt, but she happily inhaled a few more breaths.

Gu Qingxiao could see the trees in the yard, the sun's shadow mottled, and even smell the fragrance of the Phoenix-Tail Vine, as well as the cool aroma of the first sprouts of the plum blossoms.

Haha …" "AHH!" Don't come over here... Woo woo … * "So scary …" Suddenly, the sound of a woman's voice could be heard from the neighboring courtyard. There was a loud laugh, a miserable scream, and mixed crying sounds. It was unknown what kind of emotion she was trying to express.

Gu Qingxiao trembled and listened quietly. Only then could she identify that it was the same woman's voice. Originally, it should have been crisp and sweet, but now it sounded inexplicably strange.

Then, a servant girl's soft and gentle voice seemed to be persuading her of something. After persuading her for a bit, she lost her patience and sighed, "Alright, Madam Wu. As long as you don't come out of this courtyard, I won't bother with you."

Gu Qingxiao had heard this voice before. It was that of a servant girl from the past, but she didn't know who the woman who sounded crazy was.

She was about to listen to what she had to say when someone walked through the yard. The small footsteps were smooth and gentle, the rhythm neither fast nor slow.

The woman who walked into the courtyard was also well-mannered and elegant. Although she was not a beauty of the country, it was still easy for people to put down their guard and feel a sense of familiarity from her.

"Greetings, Imperial Concubine Gu." The woman saluted her gracefully.

Gu Qingxiao was stunned for a moment. She couldn't remember when he had seen her before, but she immediately understood that Gu Qingli often walked around the estate with her face covered in a red veil. Very few people could distinguish her from Gu Qingli.

"Oh." Gu Qingxiao retracted her happiness from being intoxicated by the sunlight and flowers. Thinking of Gu Qingli's instructions, she coldly replied, recognizing that one of the maidservants behind her was Rui Zhu of the mansion.

"Madam Gu, Madam Zhou heard that you had moved here, so she came to pay her respects. She just happened to drop by to chat with you." Rui Zhu seemed to be overly quick-witted, but her bright eyes clearly hinted at something for Gu Qingxiao.

Gu Qingxiao took the hint and said a few words of courtesy, then welcomed Zhou Zhen into the room. She then called Xing'er over to pour some tea.

However, Xing'er was hiding in the side room, cleaning herself up, so where would he hear her call out to him?

Gu Qingxiao called out twice, her expression turning slightly awkward. Rui Zhu, on the other hand, helped her out. "Xing'er might be busy. This servant will go to the kitchen to bring some tea for the imperial concubine."
