Rebirth: The flatterer prince I raised couldn't be so clingy

At noon, Gu Qingzhi sent some food to Feng Zhanye and boiled some medicine for him to drink.

The servants and maids were still nowhere to be seen, so she came back, cleaned up a room, and slept until the evening.

In her dream, she returned to the night of her drowning and was swallowed by the endless water. She only woke up from suffocation, her whole body soaked with sweat.

It was almost time to change shifts, so she washed her face to wake herself up before going to the back hall.

Although the villa is dilapidated, it has been carefully renovated. There is a pond in the courtyard, a small pavilion beside the pond, and a freely growing cotinus tree next to it.

The leaves of the cotinus coggygria are slightly red in the autumn, the setting sun is hanging over the pavilion, and the young man is dressed in white. Although his whole body is stained by the afterglow, he is also drenched in a bit of desolation.

Feng Zhanye noticed someone standing at the door. He turned around, his eyes dim and distant, as if filled with solid ice that could not be melted.

Dinner was prepared by the other two maids, Qiu Jiang and Qiu Hong. Naturally, it was a hundred times more exquisite than that made by Gu Qingzhi. Wu Fang had already served it to him.

Gu Qingzhi stood by and accompanied him for a while, and then the sun set completely.

"Your Highness, would you like to take a bath?"

Gu Qingzhi had boiled some hot water in advance, and when the water was about to boil, she gave a reminder.

Feng Zhanye nodded and said, "Okay."

Watching him walk towards the side room, Gu Qingzhi followed him. When they reached the door, Feng Zhanye did not let her in.

"I can do it myself. You wait for me outside."

The young man closed the door quickly and cautiously blocked her outside.

Although Gu Qingzhi was a little worried, she did not refute him. She leaned against the door and said, "I'll be waiting outside. If your highness needs anything, remember to call me."

Feng Zhan Ye was not shy. He had lived in the palace before and had servants around him, but many people died because of the evil spirit in him, so it was better to be careful.

He took off his clothes and put a towel around his body. Feng Zhanye climbed along the wooden stool to the edge of the bathtub. As soon as his toes touched the water, he pulled them back like lightning. It was so hot!

He subconsciously wanted to stretch out his hands to support the edge of the bucket so that his feet could quickly escape from the water.

But in his haste, he forgot about the injury on his hand. When the blister was pressed, the pain went through his palm to his brain. The severe swelling and pain made it impossible for him to keep his feet steady.

The wooden stool suddenly fell over, and his forehead hit the wooden barrel.

With a loud bang, a huge noise filled the whole room.

Feng Zhanye was hit so hard that he saw stars and his head was dizzy. The pain was so severe that tears came out instantly.

Gu Qingzhi, who was standing outside the house, naturally heard it as well. She was already worried, so she immediately opened the door and rushed in.

"what happened to you?"

Through a screen, Gu Qingzhi could only vaguely see a figure next to the bathtub. Unable to make out the exact situation, she had to ask as she walked in.

"Who let you in? Get out!"

Feng Zhanye covered his forehead which turned red instantly and scolded hurriedly, but the more he tried to remain calm, the more his voice trembled.

Gu Qingzhi could tell something was wrong with him and didn't intend to listen to him anymore. She took two steps at a time and went around from behind the screen.

When Gu Qingzhi saw the boy with red eyes, covering his forehead and glaring at her, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she immediately realized that he had been hit.

"let me see."

She reached out to pull Feng Zhanye's arm and leaned towards him.

Unexpectedly, Feng Zhanye seemed to be suddenly provoked by something. He suddenly waved his arms away and yelled, "Don't touch me!"

In a hurry, he pushed Gu Qingzhi away, hugged himself and shrank back a little.

His hand was numb with pain and his forehead was burning. Feng Zhanye was shivering from the cold and leaned against the wall covered with a thin layer of spider webs, gasping for air.

Gu Qingzhi was pushed for no apparent reason and felt furious. For the first time, she felt that this child was really ungrateful. Even when Gu Fengping was a child, he was not so difficult to raise.

Ying frowned and asked seriously, "Why don't you let me touch you?"

"Do you really want to die? I have evil spirits. I told you not to touch me. Are you deaf?"

The boy's voice became a little hoarse. He held his head stubbornly with tears welling up in his eyes.

He knew that his words and actions just now were a bit excessive, but he didn't understand why the person in front of him didn't take it seriously even though he was carrying a bad aura.

"I hugged you last night. Did you see me die?"

A slightly cool hand covered his wrist, and tears fell. He saw the face of the person in front of him clearly, and met those deep eyes like black jade.

There seemed to be a whirlpool hidden in Gu Qingzhi's eyes, and he fell into it without even realizing it.

The young man was slightly stunned, "But..."

"The evil spirit is not that scary. I won't die. Believe me."

There was no wavering look in his eyes and firm words, as if there was some special force pulling him.

"But what if you die?"

Thinking of those people who died serving him in the past, Feng Zhanye still struggled.

"Then why not make a bet that I can survive."

Gu Qingzhi held his wrist tightly. The warmth from her palm was not warm, but it made people feel peaceful and relieved.

"Be good, stop crying, let me see where you're hurt."

Gu Qingzhi coaxed Feng Zhanye softly, wiped away his tears, and finally removed his hand from his forehead.

Fortunately, the impact was not serious, and the edge of the bucket only scratched a red and swollen area on the skin.

She reached out to test the water temperature for him. It was hot, no wonder he got hurt.

She added a few more buckets of cold water into the bucket, and when she felt the temperature was finally right, she helped him into the bucket.

The room was filled with mist and as the heat rose, the temperature in the room gradually increased.

Feng Zhanye raised his hands embarrassedly, his skin was steamed white with a hint of pink, his limbs were extremely slender, and his shoulders and back were thin, looking fragile, with a kind of morbid beauty.

Gu Qingzhi stood behind him and showered him, her slender hands holding a towel and gently wiping his back.

The eunuchs in the palace all avoided him and were unwilling to have any contact with him. It was the first time for him to be taken care of like this by someone other than his mother, and Feng Zhan Ye was still somewhat uncomfortable.

But he was also thankful in his heart that Guard Gu was a man. If he was a woman, he would probably be blushing with shame now.

Gu Qingzhi didn't think too much about it. It's not like she had not taken care of her younger brother when she was young. Gu Fengping is fourteen years old now, so she is familiar with doing these things.

"Your Highness should eat more in the future."

She changed the scoop in her hand to pour water, grabbed his skinny arm, and muttered something casually.

Feng Zhanye's ears turned red. Even though Guard Gu was a man, he had to feel shy. This man was actually observing him intently from behind.

"You... you just wipe my back, why are you looking at me?"

Feng Zhanye's already rosy little face turned as red as a spring flower. He shrank back hesitantly, picked up the towel with his fingers and covered the water in front of him.

Gu Qingzhi could tell that he was shy, so she pretended not to understand and asked him, "How do you wipe it if you don't look at it?"

Feng Zhanye was choked and his face turned even redder.

Gu Qingzhi secretly laughed in her heart, little kid, how will you find a wife when you grow up if you are so easily amused?

Although Feng Zhanye had no idea what she was thinking, he knew that she was teasing him. Seeing her turn to him to wash his arms, a bad idea came to his mind.
