"Do I seem to be lying?" Gu Qingcheng smiled.

Bai Linxian looked at Gu Qingcheng quietly, as if he wanted to see from her eyes that Gu Qingcheng was perfunctory, even insincere and hypocritical.

But her eyes were clear, just like what she said, revealing the truth.

Bai Linxian lowered her eyes and smiled: "The younger sister is very grateful to the princess. I think it would be better for the flower to grow here with the princess. I will go first and come to see the princess some other day."

Gu Qingcheng nodded and said, "Lianqiao, send the third lady out."

Bai Linxian blessed himself and walked out.

The rain outside was still falling, even much heavier than before. The rain fell on the eaves, like pearls with broken strings, dripping down in big drops.

"Forsythia." As soon as Lianqiao sent Bai Linxian away, Gu Qingcheng called her.

Lian Qiao walked to Gu Qingcheng's side, and asked inexplicably, "Miss, why did you give that flower to the third lady?"

Gu Qingcheng raised his eyes, met Lianqiao's eyes, and said solemnly: "Lianqiao, from now on, don't mention the good things about the prince to me in front of anyone."

Lian Qiao was even more puzzled, and asked: "Why? The prince is very kind to the young lady, he comes every night, and if there is anything good, give it to the young lady..."

Gu Qingcheng's eyes became colder and colder, Lianqiao immediately closed her mouth, lowered her head and looked aggrieved.

Gu Qingcheng said: "I don't know what Wei Muyu has in mind for me, but I know my own position and situation. I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at me in this palace, and how many people want to harm me." You know, I am in the open. They are in the dark. They want to kill me. It's easy. There are more women, and there will be more right and wrong. You don't know what other people think, and you don't know who will have the intention to harm you. What we can do is keep a low profile, even more low profile, so that everyone will feel that you will not become their obstacle. You have to hide your strength so that you can give the enemy a fatal blow at the end, understand?"

Lianqiao looked at Gu Qingcheng in admiration, and said: "Miss, Lianqiao admires you more and more, Lianqiao understands."

Gu Qingcheng just shook her head and smiled, but she was just trying to survive in adversity. If possible, she hoped that she would never understand it for the rest of her life.

In fact, she only wants to live a simple and happy life, but simple and happy life is the most extravagant life in the world.

at dusk.The rain finally stopped, and the dark clouds were gradually blown away by the wind. At night, the night sky was clear.

Wei Muyu walked slowly from the clear night, Gu Qingcheng stood in front of the door and watched him quietly.

Today's Wei Muyu is wearing a white long gown, which is very conspicuous in the clear night, and the hair hanging on both sides of his body is fluttering in the wind.

The closer he got to Gu Qingcheng, the deeper the smile on the corner of Wei Muyu's mouth became.

"Are you waiting for me?" Wei Muyu smiled happily.

Gu Qingcheng nodded and said, "I'm waiting for the prince."

Wei Muyu stretched out his hand to Gu Qingcheng, but Gu Qingcheng just looked at it lightly with downcast eyes, and instinctively stepped back.

Wei Muyu's brows frowned immediately, looking at her retreating position, Wei Muyu's heart was a little indescribably dull.

Gu Qingcheng said: "My lord, you married three wives on the day of your wedding, should you move to the residence of other wives now?"

"Are you trying to drive me away?" Wei Muyu's voice turned cold in vain.

Gu Qingcheng nodded without fear, and said: "I don't want to be the target of public criticism, so I ask the prince to visit other wives more."

Wei Muyu sneered: "The target?" He shook his head, his eyes were sad: "Gu Qingcheng, why do you always poke me hard every time I want to treat you well and truly accept you? King's heart, is your heart made of stone?"

Gu Qingcheng's heart ached unconsciously, she still smiled and raised her head, and said: "I don't deserve the lord's kindness to me, lord, please leave."

Wei Muyu's palms were clenched together, and his joints made a rattling sound. He gritted his teeth and said, "Gu Qingcheng, you don't know how much this king hates you, and how much he wants to kill you!"

Wei Muyu tossed off his long coat and strode away.

The moon was also covered by dark clouds, and it seemed that there was another heavy rain coming this night.

"Miss, you really drove the prince away."

"Do you still remember what my mother said before? A person, only if he is not emotional, will he not be hurt, and will not be doomed."

Gu Qingcheng turned around and walked into the house. In fact, every night when she was having nightmares, Wei Muyu would hug her tightly, and when she woke up from the dream, he would quietly leave her.

All this, Gu Qingcheng knew that she had never dared to face Wei Muyu's kindness to her, because she was afraid that her heart would fall.

If you don't love, you won't be in pain, you won't be sad, if you love, you will be forever.

Wei Muyu finally stayed in Rufeng Pavilion, but this night, Gu Qingcheng suffered from insomnia.

She was sitting by the couch by the window, quietly looking at the dark night sky without a ray of light. She didn't feel sleepy for a long time, and kept her eyes open until dawn.

In fact, there was a pair of eyes watching her from a place not far away that she couldn't see.

The next day was very clear, the blue sky, not even a trace of white clouds, blue eyes dazzling.

Gu Qingcheng took Forsythia and left the palace.

The servant told Wei Muyu about this, and Wei Muyu immediately called Su Ye and asked her to quietly follow Gu Qingcheng to protect her safety.

"If you hide everything in your heart, don't say it, don't show it, sooner or later, you will lose her."

Li Mo walked in with his hands behind his back, and looked at Wei Muyu playfully.

Wei Muyu frowned immediately, and said: "You have something to say, so say it directly."

Li Mo gave him a blank look, and said: "You obviously like him, but you still pretend not to like him."

Wei Muyu's lips were tightly pursed into a line, and he said: "This king doesn't like her, she's just someone I use."

Li Mo squinted at him, shook his head helplessly, and said, "Anyway, if you get snatched away, don't regret it."

Only two people know about the transaction between Gu Qingcheng and Wei Muyu, one is Li Mo and the other is Liu Qingshan.

Thinking of how Gu Qingcheng chased him away yesterday, Wei Muyu's eyes turned cold.He wouldn't like Gu Qingcheng, how could he like that woman who was full of calculations and could turn everything into a deal.

If you like someone, you have a weakness, and he must not have a weakness.

Gu Qingcheng brought Lianqiao to the gate of the General's Mansion, and Lianqiao said to the servant who was guarding the door: "Please inform that Princess Mu wants to see the General."

The servant immediately saluted Gu Qingcheng respectfully and said, "Princess, please come in."

"Don't you need to report?" Gu Qingcheng asked suspiciously.

The servant smiled and said: "No, the general said, as long as you come, you can enter the mansion at any time."

"This way, please." The servant stretched out his hand in a gesture of invitation.

Gu Qingcheng nodded and walked forward, did Liu Qingshan know that she would come?

Walking to the door of the study, the servant went in to announce, Liu Qingshan walked out of the study immediately, and said with a smile: "You are here, come in quickly."

His words were as if he knew that Gu Qingcheng would come sooner or later, with a happy smile on his face.

Gu Qingcheng stretched out his hand and said, "General, please first."

"Qingcheng first." Liu Qingshan did not call Princess Gu Qingcheng, but her boudoir name.

Gu Qingcheng's face blushed unconsciously, and she hurriedly lowered her head and walked in.

"Go and make a pot of good tea." Liu Qingshan said to his servant.

"The general seems to know that I will come." Gu Qingcheng asked.

Liu Qingshan smiled and said: "I knew you would definitely come."

Gu Qingcheng couldn't help but frowned: "Why does the general know?"

Liu Qingshan smiled without saying a word, stretched out his hand as a gesture of invitation, Gu Qingcheng nodded and sat on the couch by the window.

Liu Qingshan took the tea from the servant and put it in front of Gu Qingcheng, and then said: "You are a person who always repays your kindness, so you will definitely come to the door to thank you personally."

Gu Qingcheng smiled and took out a purse from his cuff. The purse was embroidered with majestic green mountains and picturesque landscapes.

"I embroidered this with my own hands. Thank you General for saving your life last time. I hope you will not be disgusted with it."

"No." Liu Qingshan took the purse from Gu Qingcheng's hand, stroked it gently with his fingers, his face couldn't hide the joy.

He said: "I like it very much, very much."

After finishing speaking, he took off the purse from his waist and pinned the purse sewn by Gu Qingcheng to his waist.Still stroking fondly.

The corner of Gu Qingcheng's mouth curled up into a faint smile, and when Liu Qingshan raised his eyes, he happened to meet her sincere smile, and couldn't help but be amazed.

Gu Qingcheng hurriedly avoided Liu Qingshan's gaze, but a blush gradually appeared on his face.

She quickly picked up the tea and took a sip to suppress her beating heart.

She put the teacup on the table, took a deep breath and said, "Actually, I have something to ask the general for help today."

"You said, as long as I can do it, it is absolutely incumbent on me." Liu Qingshan said with certainty.

His fingers were always on the purse at his waist, rubbing gently with his fingers.

"General, do you remember that day on Chang'an Avenue, when I was almost trampled by a horse?"

Liu Qingshan's face immediately sank. If he hadn't happened to pass by that day, I don't know what would have happened to Gu Qingcheng. Thinking about it now, he is a little scared.

"Remember."

"Does the general remember that man?"

"Remember." These two words Liu Qingshan almost squeezed out from between his teeth.

If there was something wrong with Gu Qingcheng back then, he might have solved him on the spot, no matter who he is.

"I want the general to help me investigate this man."

Liu Qingshan frowned, and said: "Does this person have any grudges with you?"

Gu Qingcheng shook his head, and said without concealment: "He bought the official from Gu Changlin."

"Really?" Liu Qingshan's complexion became more and more serious, he always hated the trading of officials the most.

"Yes, I want the general to help me investigate the evidence that he bought officials, as well as the evidence that Gu Changlin accepted bribes. What the emperor hates most is the insatiable greed of officials."

Gu Changlin has become more and more greedy since he became the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. Many official positions are clearly priced, and if you have money, you can have everything.

What others owed her should be paid back bit by bit.

Liu Qingshan thought for a while, and then said: "Okay, I will definitely find out as soon as possible."

After Liu Qingshan agreed, Gu Qingcheng frowned slightly and said, "Will the general not ask me why?"

Liu Qingshan smiled and said: "You must have your own reasons for what you do. If you want to talk, I'm very happy to listen. If you don't want to talk, I won't ask."

He paused, looked straight into Gu Qingcheng's eyes, and said, "But no matter what happens, as long as you need me, I will be by your side."

Gu Qingcheng's heart was like the warm wind of early spring blowing gently, filling her whole body with warmth.

She bowed her head and said, "Thank you, General."

"You and me, no need to say thank you."

Liu Qingshan's smile was like the warm sun in winter, it dazzled Gu Qingcheng's eyes and warmed her heart.

"Then I'll go first."

Gu Qingcheng got up, and Liu Qingshan sent her out.All the way to the gate of the general's mansion.

Gu Qingcheng said: "The general doesn't have to send him far away."

"I watched you leave." Liu Qingshan's eyes followed Gu Qingcheng's slender figure.

Gu Qingcheng nodded and left.Liu Qingshan looked at the back of Gu Qingcheng leaving, but still did not leave for a long time.

It wasn't until Gu Qingcheng's back disappeared that he lowered his head and took the purse from his waist and put it in the palm of his hand, and gently stroked the lines on it with the other hand.

Thinking that it was stitched by Gu Qingcheng stitch by stitch, the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously. In the end, like a baby, he kicked the purse into his chest, the place closest to his heart.

After returning to the Palace, Su Ye told Wei Muyu about Gu Qingcheng going to the General's Palace.

Wei Muyu frowned slightly, what is this woman doing with Liu Qingshan?Thinking of what Li Mo said in the morning, he couldn't help feeling restless.

He was just using Gu Qingcheng, and he would never have half-parting feelings for her.

Zhao Junfeng walked in, clasped his hands together and said, "My lord, I found the family member who framed the shopkeeper of the Fourth Madam last time."

Zhao Junfeng gave a wink to the outside, and then two people walked in carrying a person. This person's left leg was completely useless, bloody and bloody.

Zhao Junfeng said: "When we went, only one person was left alive, and the rest were burned to death by the fire."

The man knelt on the ground with a plop and cried, "My lord, please save me, save me!"

"Speak out for any grievances, and the prince will definitely make the decision for you." Zhao Junfeng said to the man.

The man cried and said: "Some time ago, my father said that he took over a big business, but the business was dangerous, so we had to move out. I thought we would have a better life in the future, who knows, just moved into the new At home, I received the bad news of my father's death, and then there was a big fire that night, and the whole family of [-] people, old and young, were burned to death, and I was the only one who survived the fire."

"Then did your father say who took the business?" Zhao Junfeng asked.

The man wiped his tears and said: "Father didn't say anything, but he left this ingot of gold, and said that there will be more gold in the future, and he can go to any place to live better. Father must have been cheated. The prince can find the person who deceived my father and avenge the eighteen members of my family."

The man fell on the ground and cried, his voice was extremely sad.

Zhao Junfeng took the gold from the man's hand and handed it to Wei Muyu. Wei Muyu carefully looked at the ingot of gold until the end.His gaze became colder, his thumb stroked the line of small words under the gold, and he sneered.

"It seems that someone couldn't hold back anymore." He clutched the gold tightly in his hand, and a cold smile curled up on the corner of his mouth.

"Take him down and show him the burn on his leg. This king will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly."

The man cried and kowtowed: "Caomin thank you, my lord, thank you, my lord!"

Wei Muyu then got up, took the gold and went straight out.

Qingfeng Pavilion is as cold as before, just like Gu Qingcheng's people, who will never radiate warmth, and no one will ever warm her heart.

Wei Muyu stepped into Qingfeng Pavilion, where Gu Qingcheng was sitting at the side reading a book.

Seeing Wei Muyu walking in, she put down the book in her hand and looked directly at Wei Muyu, but didn't speak.

Wei Muyu walked into Gu Qingcheng, and put the ingot of gold in front of Gu Qingcheng, Gu Qingcheng glanced down, and said: "My lord, what does this mean?"

"This ingot of gold can prove that Yuzhu has nothing to do with this matter." Wei Muyu stood with his hands behind his back, his whole body was icy cold.

Gu Qingcheng couldn't help but hooked the corners of his lips, stretched out his hand to pick up the gold, kept looking at it before his eyes, and said with a smile: "Why are you so sure, my lord?"

"This ingot of gold was sent by the person who framed Yuzhu last time. Its source is the imperial palace, and only a very few people can use this kind of gold. Yuzhu will never have it, so this matter is definitely not Yuzhu. made."

Gu Qingcheng smiled, put the gold on the table, and said: "As long as the prince believes, what's the use if I believe it or not?"

Wei Muyu did not speak, stared at Gu Qingcheng for a long time, and said: "It seems that you only believe in yourself."

Gu Qingcheng took out a handkerchief and wiped her fingers.Said: "Isn't it the same for the prince?"

She looked into Wei Muyu's eyes without fear, the two of them were the same kind of people, they only believed in themselves.

"But why do you trust Liu Qingshan?"

Gu Qingcheng's face changed color in an instant, then he sneered and said, "Who I believe is my business, just like it is the prince's business to believe that the fourth lady is the prince."

"Why, you never believed me." Wei Muyu's eyes were filled with sadness.

Believe?

She raised her eyes and asked, "Why do you trust the prince?"

Wei Muyu tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, clenched his fists together, and said word by word: "Gu Qingcheng, is your heart made of iron?"

Gu Qingcheng still smiled indifferently, what is her heart made of?she does not know.

"My lord, if you have nothing else to do, please move on to other wives. I don't want to be the target of public criticism."

Wei Muyu sneered, the target of public criticism?Could it be that if you want to be nice to her, just make her so disgusted?

Wei Muyu left angrily in a pair of long clothes. The white long clothes swayed gently with the night wind, and his figure was as cold as a cold light in the night.

Gu Qingcheng cast his eyes on the gold on the table again, picked it up and looked at it carefully.

If it really came from the palace, who would it be?Who can't wait for her to die?

The night was getting dark, no matter how much Gu Qingcheng thought about it, she couldn't think of who it was, so she simply put away the gold, looking at the dark night outside the window, she just curled her lips and smiled.

She suddenly felt very tired, that kind of tiredness rose from the bottom of her heart, and she couldn't suppress it no matter what, it was the fear and helplessness of life.

Why is it always so difficult to live.

In the chaos, Gu Qingcheng felt that her body was chilling, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. She was so cold that she kept shivering and curled up into a ball.

Later, it was like being in a big fire again. The hot flames scorched her body. She called for help, but her voice was hoarse, and no one came over.

Whenever it was late at night and Gu Qingcheng was sleeping soundly, Wei Muyu would quietly watch Gu Qingcheng who was sleeping soundly in the room in the dark.

Tonight he came as usual, but tonight she seemed to be a little different from usual, her brows were tightly furrowed, and sweat dripped from her forehead.

His body was trembling constantly, Wei Muyu immediately strode in, walked to the side of the bed, he stretched out his hand to stroke Gu Qingcheng's head, his brows suddenly became a pimple.

"Forsythia!" Wei Muyu roared.

Lian Qiao, who was sleeping soundly, got up from the bed immediately, ran into the room in a hurry, her eyes were still half-closed, and asked, "My lord, what are your orders?"

"Go to Zhao Junfeng, let him find Li Mo!"

When Lian Qiao heard that she was looking for Li Mo, she wondered if Gu Qingcheng was sick, so she ran out quickly without delay.

"Thirsty, thirsty, water, water..." Gu Qingcheng kept murmuring.

Wei Muyu immediately poured a cup of tea and helped Gu Qingcheng who was lying on the bed up. Her whole body was like a big stove, and her cheeks were hot and red.

Wei Muyu put the cup to her lips, and said, "Drink slowly."

Gu Qingcheng still had her eyes closed, feeling the warm and moist water coming out, she opened her mouth and gulped it down.

"Cold, I'm so cold, so cold!" She instinctively reached out and hugged Wei Muyu tightly.

Wei Muyu's body stiffened for a moment, and the teacup in his hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

"Mother hold me tight, I'm so cold, so cold!" Gu Qingcheng was still murmuring.

Wei Muyu reached out and hugged Gu Qingcheng tightly into his arms, feeling the scorching temperature of her body, his brows were tightened like a pimple, and his eyes were full of distress.

"With me here, nothing will happen. I hold you tight, don't worry."

Wei Muyu patted Gu Qingcheng's back lightly, comforting him softly.

Gu Qingcheng was like a helpless child, shivering in his arms, reaching out to hug him tightly, absorbing the warmth of Wei Muyu's body.

In fact, he is very similar to her. They both put themselves in a safe corner that they can control, unwilling to trust others, and afraid of being hurt.

If there is any difficulty, I will bear it by myself. Even if I am injured, I will quietly lick the wound, never needing the sympathy of others.

They seem to be strong, but they are actually very fragile. Their hearts are as hard as stone, but also as soft as cotton.

At this time, Gu Qingcheng was very much like Wei Muyu who was in a difficult situation, so helpless, with no one to rely on.

Wei Muyu suddenly wanted to protect her and never let her get hurt again.

Li Mo hurried in and asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"

"She has a fever, it's very hot." Wei Muyu wanted to put Gu Qingcheng on the bed, but Gu Qingcheng hugged him tightly and never let go.

The softest part of Wei Muyu's heart was touched again.

Li Mo reached out to touch Gu Qingcheng's forehead, and he couldn't help but gasp, it was so hot that he could cook soup.

He grabbed Gu Qingcheng's arm, put his fingers on Gu Qingcheng's pulse, and began to feel the pulse.

In the end, Li Mo's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and his face became even more gloomy, like the prelude to a violent storm.

"What the hell happened to her?"
