don't forget lovesickness

Chapter 18 A conspiracy

"Knock Knock Knock~"

Gu Qingqian was slightly taken aback, and got up to open the door, but she didn't expect that it was the man in black that she saw last night.

Shen Feng bowed his hands to Gu Qingqian and said, "See Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess, Shen Feng, Zhu Ling's captain, is also Ling Yang's elder brother."

"I don't know why General Shen is looking for me." Gu Qingqian didn't expect this person to be the son of Prime Minister Shen. When he saw Shen Lingyang, he wondered how she escaped from slavery. The eldest princess mansion, she knew that her aunt must have done something in it.

"The Eldest Princess welcomes you."

"Okay, please general lead the way." Gu Qingqian knew that everyone who should come would come, but now it seems that her aunt is hiding something. At present, the Shadow Pavilion and Xiuling Palace have a close relationship with the eldest princess, and The Shen brothers and sisters are also acting under her command, and there must be hidden secrets and even plans that she doesn't know about.

Gu Qingqian followed Shen Feng to the outside of Xiao Jihua's study room. She couldn't remember how long it had been since she had seen her aunt, who was a compatriot with her father, emperor and mother.Ever since she broke with the Gu family and the royal family, she didn't want to see anyone in the Gu family or the royal family other than Gu An. Even if she came to see Gu Shaoning every year, she had never met her.

Shen Feng stood at the door, cupped his hands and saluted, and said, "Eldest princess, the eldest princess is here."

After a long while of silence in the room, Fang heard a woman's voice from inside: "Well, let her come in, you go down first."

"Wei," Shen Feng turned around and saluted Gu Qingqian, "Princess please."

Gu Qingqian took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. She needed to gather all her energy to face her own aunt. After all, she was the one who helped her father ascend to the throne, and she was not comparable to ordinary people. And my impression of her since I was a child was strict, indifferent, and even a little scared.She opened the door and walked in, turned her head slightly and saw Xiao Jihua who was sitting behind the desk with closed eyes and meditating, she stepped forward to salute: "Greetings, aunt."

Xiao Jihua slowly opened his eyes, and there was a sharpness in his cold eyes. Although he was 50 years old, he didn't look lazy at all, but was very energetic, as if he was less than 40 years old.She looked at Gu Qingqian quietly, and couldn't remember how many years she hadn't seen her, and she only looked at her as a child, but she didn't expect that now that she had grown up, she didn't have the slightest impression of her imperial brother. Shadow's appearance and demeanor were very similar to her mother's queen Gu Wenyin, which made her a little dazed. After a long time, she nodded slightly and said, "Excuse me."

"I don't know why my aunt called me here." Gu Qingqian went straight to the point, she felt that there was no need to beat around the bush with her wise aunt.

Xiao Jihua looked at the seemingly obedient and polite niece in front of her, but she was actually the same as her mother. No one could learn to be neither humble nor overbearing in her bones. The corner of her mouth raised a faint smile, and asked: "You Don't you have anything to ask?"

Gu Qing was stunned for a moment, pursed her lips, lowered her eyes slightly, she really had too many doubts, why Gu An became the owner of the Shadow Pavilion, why the Shen brothers and sisters were under her command, why... Gu Shaoning To feign death, she wanted to ask her aunt what she planned for.However, she still couldn't open her mouth to ask, or rather, she didn't want to ask, and her heart was shrinking.

Xiao Jihua frowned slightly, and said: "You and your mother look very similar, not only that, but even the temperament in the bones is similar, no one can match that wisdom, not even me, but you have more emperors. This is your only flaw, brother's temperament of looking forward and backward."

Gu Qingqian suddenly raised his head to look at Xiao Jihua, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"If it wasn't for the imperial brother's foresight, maybe she was still alive..." Xiao Jihua looked at Gu Qingqian with deep eyes, but it didn't look like she was looking at her, but it seemed to be looking at another person through her, "Or, if it wasn't for At the beginning, I contributed to the flames, she would not marry the emperor, and she would live a more carefree life."

"The queen mother once said that every step she takes is chosen by herself, no one can force her to do what she doesn't want to do, and she never regrets every step she takes." Gu Qingqian said quietly , plain and steady, also like a silent argument, for her mother, the mother she respects so much.

Xiao Jihua was taken aback for a moment, she focused her eyes on Gu Qingqian, the indifferent face of the person in front of her was filled with inherent arrogance, in a trance, she felt as if she saw the carefree Gu Wenyin back then, for a moment, The shadows of the two overlapped, making it hard for her to tell whether the person in front of her was Gu Qingqian or Gu Wenyin.

Suddenly, Xiao Jihua laughed, but there was a bit of sadness in her laughter: "You will not become Wen Yin after all..."

"The queen mother is the queen mother, and I am me." Gu Qingqian looked at Xiao Jihua with an extremely firm tone, "The queen mother is the person I respect the most, but I don't need to be the queen mother, I have my own way to go."

Xiao Jihua retracted her smile, she looked directly into Gu Qingqian's eyes, and Gu Qingqian looked back not to be outdone.

With a bang, the door was pushed open.

Gu Qingqian and Xiao Jihua looked at the door together, only to see Yi Feiyue standing at the door in a daze, looking at the two of them, looking a little at a loss.

Xiao Jihua frowned slightly, looked at Yi Feiyue and asked indifferently: "Ning'er, when did you learn to be so ignorant of the rules? Mother is talking about something, why don't you just rush in and go out like this."

Yi Feiyue turned her head to look at Gu Qingqian, but saw that she was also looking at her. She hesitated and refused to leave. When she learned from Shen Feng that her mother had called Gu Qingqian, she rushed over, feeling faint in her heart. feel uneasy.

Looking at Yi Feiyue at this moment, Gu Qingqian felt warm in his heart, and smiled at Yi Feiyue reassuringly.

Yi Feiyue was stunned for a moment, then she closed the door reluctantly and retreated out, but she didn't plan to leave, but stayed in the courtyard, ready to rush in if something happened.

Xiao Jihua quietly watched the interaction between the two, and her brows frowned even tighter. She always felt that something was different from what she expected, and it was developing in a different direction.

Time passed by every minute, and Yi Feiyue, who was standing in the courtyard, still maintained the original posture. She stared at the door tightly, waiting for the moment when Gu Qingqian opened the door and walked out. Worried, even afraid, she would never know what her mother was thinking and what she was going to do, she just wanted to do her best to protect Gu Qingqian, that's all.

Gu Qingqian opened the door, and met Yi Feiyue's eyes at a glance. She was slightly taken aback, then smiled faintly, walked over, but didn't speak, just looked at Yi Feiyue.

Yi Feiyue looked at Gu Qingqian quietly, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "What did mother tell you?"

"What do you think my aunt will tell me?" Gu Qingqian asked back.

Yi Feiyue couldn't tell what Gu Qingqian was thinking, but seeing her very natural appearance, she thought that there should be nothing serious, so she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, took a step back, and said: "Since there is nothing wrong, then I will go first gone."

"Stop." Gu Qingqian shouted to Yi Feiyue who turned around and left.

Yi Feiyue stopped uncontrollably, sighed slightly, but didn't look back, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Gu Qingqian felt that what Xiao Jihua said was right, she was indeed looking forward and backward like her father, which caused her to stagnate, maybe she should learn from her mother and follow her own heart, at least let herself not be ashamed when she should have time. regret.She walked up to Yi Feiyue and looked at her, Yi Feiyue subconsciously moved her eyes away, Gu Qing smiled lightly: "Where are you going?"

"Go...to find Amu."

"Really?" Gu Qingqian stared at Yi Feiyue, watched her dodge unnaturally, with a shrewd smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Just in time, I want to find Yi'er too, let's go together."

Yi Feiyue just made up an excuse, but she didn't expect Gu Qingqian to go along with it, she quickly changed her words and said: "No, I suddenly remembered that I have other things..."

"Huh? What did you say?" Gu Qingqian asked softly, raising his brows slightly.

Yi Feiyue was slightly taken aback, she always felt that Gu Qingqian seemed to be different, but she couldn't tell what was different, finally she lowered her eyes and said softly: "No, I didn't say anything."

Gu Qingqian nodded in satisfaction, and directly pulled Yi Feiyue to go outside. Yi Feiyue stared blankly at the hand that Gu Qingqian held up, with a smile that she didn't even notice.

It's just that the two of them didn't go far when they met Mu Yi who was jumping up and down. Mu Yi stopped, glanced at the hands held together by the two of them, then looked at the two of them, and said with a smile: "I was just looking for you guys. Well, it’s better now that you don’t need to look for them one by one.”

"What's the matter with Yi'er?" Gu Qingqian let go of Yi Feiyue's hand, walked forward a few steps, and came in front of Mu Yi.

Yi Feiyue looked down at her hand that was suddenly let go by Gu Qingqian, and felt empty in her heart, and the smile on her mouth disappeared.

Mu Yi looked at Gu Qingqian's indifferent face, while Yi Feiyue seemed a little disappointed, and couldn't help admiring in her heart, Gu Qingqian was able to see it through, and she completely dominated the two in just one day. Fearing that Yi Feiyue would have to bear it, she went on to say: "I'm here to say goodbye to you, I've been out for some time, it's time to go back, otherwise the old man would think I'm missing."

Lu Qing smiled and nodded: "Then you should be more careful on the road."

"Don't worry, Ling Yang will send me off."

"You may have made a mistake." Gu An suddenly walked out from the side, came to Mu Yi's side, and said, "Ling Yang has something to do, so I will see you off."

"What?" Mu Yi took a few steps back, looked at Gu An warily, and said, "Is the Pavilion Master busy? If you are free, find something to do!"

"It's really free." Gu An looked at Mu Yi and smiled slightly, "That's why I took the task of sending you back to Nanxing Village. Speaking of which, I haven't visited Miracle Doctor Mu for a long time, so I should go."

Faced with such a rascal reply from Gu An, Mu Yi had no choice but to say unwillingly, "I can wait for Ling Yang to finish his work before going back!"

"Okay, it's so decided, let's go now." Gu An ignored Mu Yi's objection, grabbed her by the collar and dragged her away.

"No! You lolicon, let go of me!" Mu Yi was pulled by Gu An, and she couldn't get rid of it at all, so she could only yell loudly.

Gu An heard the word "lolicon" again, and couldn't help asking: "What exactly does lolicon mean?"

"The one who only likes young children!"

Gu An was thinking while walking, and after a while, Fang said: "Then I am a little different."

"What?" Mu Yi couldn't hear what Gu An said clearly for a while, "Oh, forget it, Qingqian! Fei Yue! Help me!"

"Little guy, give up struggling." Gu An looked sideways at Gu Qingqian and Yi Feiyue behind him, and said, "I will send her back safely."

The two just watched Gu An drag Mu Yi away, glanced at each other, and saw a smile in each other's eyes.

Gu Qingqian saw that there was no awkward atmosphere between himself and Yi Feiyue because of Mu Yi's quarrel, and he was very happy in his heart. After thinking about it, he said to Yi Feiyue: "Since Yi'er is gone, why don't we go?" Go fishing by the river and make fish soup for you to eat."

Yi Feiyue was very sure that Gu Qingqian was very different today, but she didn't dare to ask, so she could only nod her head and followed Gu Qingqian, letting her do the work.

The sun shone wantonly on the river, making the lake shimmer, and there were two people sitting by the lake, one red and one white, both holding fishing rods to catch fish, the surrounding was silent, only the wind blowing the bushes came. Rustle.

Although Yi Feiyue was fishing with a fishing rod in her hand, her mind was not on the fishing rod at all. Her eyes glanced at Gu Qingqian who was sitting by the side from time to time. She went up, and didn't care about Yi Feiyue who was absent-minded.

The autumn wind caressed past, causing ripples on the surface of the lake. The ends of Gu Qingqian's hair were also gently lifted by the wind, floating gently in the air. She subconsciously reached out to straighten her hair, but in the next second When she touched a hand, she froze for a moment, turned her head to look, and saw Yi Feiyue stretched out her hand and was staring at herself in a daze.

Gu Qingqian's restless broken hair made Yi Feiyue even more restless. She wanted to smooth it subconsciously, and stretched out her hand involuntarily, but she didn't expect that Gu Qingqian would reach out by herself. The people's hands touched together in an instant, and she stared blankly at Gu Qingqian who turned her head sideways to meet her gaze. After a while, she realized that she quickly turned around, retracted her hand, and stared at the fishing rod, pretending that everything was wrong. It hadn't happened, but those hands gripping the rod had given her away.

Gu Qingqian smiled softly, put her hands down, turned her head to stare at the fishing rod, and said, "Fei Yue help me to fix my hair, I feel like a fish is about to take the bait, I can't move my hands."

"What?" Yi Feiyue straightened up, turned to look at Gu Qingqian with surprise on her face.

"Help me get my hair down." Gu Qingqian said slowly without turning her head, maintaining the posture just now.

This time Yi Feiyue was sure that she had heard correctly, she pursed her lips and hesitated, and then slowly stretched out her hand after a while, but retracted when she was about to touch it, but Gu Qingqian did not urge her , just quietly waiting.After a while, Yi Feiyue seemed to have made up her mind. She stretched out her hand firmly, and gently placed the restless broken hair behind Gu Qingqian's ear, then quickly retracted, staring at Gu Qingqian. Even so, she still couldn't restrain the smile on the corner of her mouth, but she didn't even pay attention to it, and Gu Qingqian called herself Fei Yue instead of Shao Ning.

The corners of Gu Qingqian's eyes caught Yi Feiyue's every move, and the smile on the corner of her mouth deepened. She pulled up the fishing rod suddenly, glanced at the hook that had nothing, sighed, and said, "What a pity, Ran."

Listening to Gu Qingqian's words, Yi Feiyue felt a slight sense of loss in her heart, but she still turned her head and said to her: "It's okay, wait a little longer."

"Yes, you can wait a little longer, you will always catch it." Gu Qingqian turned to look at Yi Feiyue and smiled softly.

Yi Feiyue turned her head quickly, her complexion turned slightly rosy, when had she seen such a gentle Gu Qingqian, or she had never seen it before, it was different from the gentle smile of a sister in the past, in that smile just now With a bit of femininity, this made her heart beat faster involuntarily.

After the episode just now, the surrounding air became quiet again, and this time both of them were focused on the fishing rod.Suddenly, Yi Feiyue's fishing rod shook a little, she raised her brows slightly, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and with a sudden jerk, a fish rushed out of the water following her movements.Seeing this, Gu Qingqian quickly picked up the net bag on the side, caught the fish, and took it back.Yi Feiyue put down the fishing rod, reached into the net bag to catch the fish that was still jumping around, took out the hook, then took the fishing rod beside it, and put the fish in.

Gu Qingqian stepped forward, glanced at the fish in the fish basket, nodded in satisfaction, and said, "The size is just right, let's go back."

Yi Feiyue nodded, cleaned up the ground, and the two walked back together.

"Ping ping pong pong..."

The sound of banging pots and pans came from the small kitchen in Yi Feiyue's yard, and a faint fragrance wafted out after a short while, making people want to stop and see what is delicious after smelling it from a distance .

"It's delicious."

Gu Qingqian and Yi Feiyue looked up together, only to see Shen Lingyang standing at the door, and the phrase "true fragrance" came from her mouth.

"Ling Yang, do you want to try it?" Gu Qingqian extended an invitation to Shen Ling Yang.

Shen Lingyang took a look at Yi Feiyue who had a tense face, even with a hint of threat in his eyes, and suddenly felt a little helpless, this guy is too protective, I'm afraid she won't share what Gu Qingqian made with anyone. People eat, she shook her head and said: "The princess has something to do with Fei Yue, I'm here to pass on the message."

Only then did Yi Feiyue breathe a sigh of relief, but her frowning did not relax, and she asked, "Why did mother call me?"

Shen Lingyang shook his head again, saying that he didn't know the reason.

Yi Feiyue glanced at Shen Lingyang, then at Gu Qingqian, then at the fish soup, and said to Gu Qingqian, "I'll be back as soon as I go."

Gu Qingqian nodded.

Yi Feiyue hurriedly walked out of the small kitchen, stood up, and went directly to Xiao Jihua's study using lightness kung fu.

Shen Lingyang looked at Yi Feiyue's leaving back, frowned slightly, then stretched it out, turned to look at Gu Qingqian, and found that she was looking at the direction of Yi Feiyue's departure, frowning slightly, saw himself turning around, and then She raised her eyebrows and smiled at herself, she was stunned for a moment, then walked forward quickly, walked around behind her, blocked her behind, and said anxiously: "Miss Gu, get out!"

Gu Qingqian was taken aback for a moment, not understanding why Shen Lingyang said that suddenly, and subconsciously asked, "What happened?"

"There's a snake here, get out!"

Gu Qingqian was startled, and wanted to see what kind of snake it was, but was suddenly pushed out by Shen Lingyang.

"Leave it to me here, it's safer for you to stay here first." After Shen Lingyang finished speaking, he closed the door of the small kitchen.

Gu Qingqian took a few steps back, only to hear the sound of pots and bowls colliding inside, she hurriedly went to the small window on the side to look, her eyes were searching for the snake all over the room, but before she could clearly see where the snake was, she saw Shen Lingyang suddenly shouted "Be careful", and rushed in his direction, startled, subconsciously took a few steps back.

Shen Lingyang leaned against the window, and said to Gu Qingqian who was outside the window: "Miss Gu, don't go forward, this snake is more flexible, if you lean over, it may be dangerous, you'd better stand far away, wait for me to deal with it first." .”

"Then you have to be careful!" Gu Qingqian was a little nervous, hesitated for a moment, and said shyly, "Miss Shen, please be careful of fish soup."

Shen Lingyang was silent for a while, and said, "Okay. Don't worry."

There was another sound coming from the small kitchen, and it took a while before there was any movement.

Gu Qingqian was a little hesitant to go forward, but suddenly saw the door opened, and saw Shen Lingyang walking out, so she went forward, looked her left, right, up and down, and after making sure that the other party was fine, With a sigh of relief, Fang said, "Did you catch the snake?"

Shen Lingyang shook and said, "Run away."

"It's okay, as long as you're okay." Gu Qing smiled lightly, not paying any attention to what just happened.

Shen Lingyang was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "However, it's nothing serious, and I won't come again."

"Thank you Miss Shen."

"Then I will take my leave first."

Gu Qingqian nodded, looked at Shen Lingyang's leaving back until he couldn't see, then turned and went back to the small kitchen, came to the fish soup, opened the lid of the pot, took out a spoon to fill it up, put it in the In the bowl, I took a sip, nodded with satisfaction, and turned off the fire.

"Ok?"

Gu Qingqian looked up, and Yi Feiyue walked in, leaning towards her side, she smiled slightly, and said, "It's just in time to come back."

Yi Feiyue turned her head to look around, and asked, "Where is Ling Yang?"

"she left."

Yi Feiyue pursed her lips and frowned slightly.

"What's the matter? But what did my aunt say?"

Yi Feiyue shook her head, put her hand down, and said: "I didn't see my mother. When I went, I only met Shen Feng. Shen Feng said that there was an urgent matter in the army, so my mother left first, saying that she would wait later. Find me again."

When Gu Qingqian heard the word "Shen Feng", the action of serving the soup paused for a moment, and the movement of her hands continued, saying: "In this case, let's drink the soup first."

Yi Feiyue frowned and nodded.

Yi Feiyue set up the bowls and chopsticks on the stone table in the pavilion in the courtyard, and when she looked up, she saw Gu Qingqian coming over with fish soup, she quickly put down the bowls and chopsticks to pick them up, and put them on the stone table.Gu Qingqian served Yi Feiyue a bowl first, and handed it over.Yi Feiyue took a spoonful and took a sip, with a slight smile on her lips.

"Is it delicious?" Gu Qingqian looked at Yi Feiyue and smiled faintly.

"It's delicious, the same as before," Yi Feiyue drank one after another, and after a while, the bowl was gone, so she raised the bowl in front of Gu Qingqian, and said, "I still want it!"

"it is good."

Gu Qingqian filled another bowl and handed it to Yi Feiyue.

After Yi Feiyue took it, she was not in a hurry to drink it, but took the spoon from Gu Qingqian's hand, filled a bowl for her, and said, "You drink too."

Gu Qingqian looked at the scene in front of him, how familiar he was, he never knew how to cook, because at the beginning Gu Shaoning said he wanted to drink the fish soup he made, so he went to learn it, and every time the fish soup he made, Whether it was too salty or too bland, or it was too sweet because of accidentally using sugar as salt, Gu Shaoning always drank it all.

It's just that when I could really do a good job, Gu Shaoning was no longer around, and this became my regret at the beginning, and I never thought that there would be a day when I could really do it, and this day was actually Gu Shaoning who changed his identity, Maybe this is fate.

Gu Qingqian took a sip of the soup that Yi Feiyue gave her, and she was very familiar with the taste. Day after day, year after year, whenever she had time, she would make fish soup once. .The taste is still the same as before, but today is different from the past, as if there is a different taste floating around.

Yi Feiyue also drank the second bowl of fish soup, and was about to fill the third bowl, when she suddenly felt a little dizzy, she was slightly taken aback, and looked up at Gu Qingqian, but Gu Qingqian was still drinking the soup and didn't worry about it. What's strange, she shook her head, but found that her head was getting more and more dizzy, she stood up suddenly.

Gu Qingqian raised his head to look at Yi Feiyue, his eyes were full of doubts, and he asked, "What's wrong?"

Yi Feiyue hastily reached out her hand to take out the hundred pills from her bosom, but her dizziness became more and more severe, the medicine bottle she just took out suddenly became several in her eyes, and her hands began to lose her control, feeling very powerless , I couldn't even hold the medicine bottle, I could only watch it fall to the ground.

Gu Qingqian stood up quickly, and went to help Yi Feiyue, but suddenly felt dizzy, and before she could react, she passed out and lay down on the stone table.

Yi Feiyue tried to steady herself, but suddenly found that Gu Qingqian had fainted, she stretched out her hand to walk towards Gu Qingqian, but in the end she couldn't resist the dizziness and fainted on the ground.

At this moment, a blue figure came out from the corner of the wall, came to the side of the two, and looked at them quietly...
