I Married Female Lead's Crush Chapter 26

"Me?"

Su Qing was half kneeling on the chair in front of the table, playing with the delicate gadgets she bought from East Street today. Once she heard what he just said, her clean little face without applying powder lifted up from the pomegranate-color cloak, her black hair disheveled, making her white small looking even more beautiful and attractive.

Her current appearance making him could not help but wanted to pinch a few times.

Gu Zifu stood up and tossed the book in his hand to the side. His fox-like eyes slightly glanced at her and said casually, "People in the palace are clumsy and as timid as a mouse. This lord feels upset just by looking at him."

Su Qing lowered her head, because her face was buried in the cloak's collar, unable to see her expression clearly. 

After waiting for a while, Gu Zifu didn't hear her answer, her corner of his mouth twitched followed by a snorting laugh, picked up the book next to him and threw it on the table, smashing all the organized wood carving figures into a mess.

"What, you don't want to?"

Su Qing quickly shook her head in fright, wringing her hands and said in a low voice, "No, there is no such thing. I only felt that the Seventh Lord wanted to take me to the palace …." has surprised me.

"Um." Gu Zifu responded lazily, seemingly a little sleepy, rubbing between his eyebrows, lifted up the quilt and ready to lie down.

As soon as the quilt was lifted halfway, Si Ting's voice came from outside, "Madam. The Seventh Lord's medicine is ready."

Gu Zifu paused his movement, narrowed his fox-like-eyes revealing a creepy smile that makes one's hair standing on end.

Damn drinking medicine again!

And damn Si Ting!

"I'll go get it." Su Qing jumped off the chair hastily causing the cloak on her body to fall, but she didn't care and quickly rushed outside.

She opened the door and saw Si Ting standing outside with a tray of medicine bowls and a small plate of pine nut candies.

She breathed a sigh of relief, reached out to take over the tray and said, "Thanks for trouble, Si Ting."

"Madam is too courteous." Si Ting scratched his head in embarrassment, "By the way, where did the madam buy plum preserves from, the sour and sweet taste is just right."

"Oh, it's on the far side of East Street….."

"Clang" a bang sounds came from the inside room.

Su Qing looked back carefully, and lowered her voice, "Let me bring this medicine for the Seventh Lord first, I'll tell you tomorrow."

When she closed the door and entered the room, she found that it was the chair beside the bed that had been kicked down. She put down the tray and moved the chair to one side. Thought about it for a moment and said with hesitation, "Seventh Lord, it's better to cut down your short-tempered in the future."

Gu Zifu lifted his eyelids.

"Being angry will harm your body, and if your body is not good, you will get sick. When you are sick, you will have to drink medicine."

"Don't drink." Gu Zifu got into the bed completely covered with a quilt, only showing his long black hair, not even his head was exposed.

Next to his quilt were the two ugly stuffed tigers. Su Qing specially chose the bright red color for festivity. Now looking at the cute tiger's heads, making her heart moved. Walking light steps toward the bed and touched the small head of the tiger, gently squeezed its small ear.

The Seventh Lord doesn't like hrt tigers, she's not willing to give them to him either.

She waited for a moment, still has no movement. Su Qing reached out her hand to shake his body a little bit and said with a cute voice, "The Seventh Lord, time to drink medicine. There are pine candies here, you take one it will not taste bitter."

Still no movement.

Su Qing sat on the bed, her little face crumpled with distress and tried to coax in a soft voice, "How…how about I let the Seventh Lord eat three pieces? I usually eat only two pieces when drinking medicine."

Gu Zifu who was inside the quilt suddenly moved, he turned around and fixed his eyes on her.

She has to admit that Gu Zifu's eyes are really beautiful and attractive. But after looking at it for a long time, she seemed to see the teasing smile underneath his eyes.

Teasing smile? This man is playing with her again.

Su Qing's face was slightly annoyed, she got out of the bed, picked up the pomegranate-colored cloak on the ground and then blew out the candles. After going to bed, she copied Gu Zifu and shrank herself into a ball under the quilt.

A low laugh came from behind her, making Su Qing felt somewhat annoyed and ashamed.

This person likes to make fun of her. If she coaxes him to drink medicine again, she, she's….no, then the Seventh is a pig.

A fat pig like Da Bai. 

————

The next morning, Su Qing woke up early. After washing up, she stomped out of the room and went to the kitchen. She stayed outside for a while and then went inside. Seeing Gu Zifu was still sleeping, she shook his exposed arms outside the quilt. 

"Seventh Lord, we are going to the palace today."

Gu Zifu frowned, rolled over and continued to sleep.

Su Qing shook his arms again, "Don't need to drink medicine this morning."

He also didn't drink it last night anyway.

Gu Zifu opened his eyes and sat up reluctantly, his eyes then stayed on her face for a while. 

It was dark in the room last night, he didn't see her face clearly with makeup on. Now looking carefully, it felt inexplicably beautiful. He yawned lazily, slowly got out of the bed and let Su Qing wait on him to wash up and dress.

Today, Gu Zifu picked the clothes himself. He was dressed in all black, revealing his slender tall body even more handsome. Or to say he looks even more demonic. 

Su Qing remembered that Gu Zifu was appointed as a great general by the previous emperor. Based on his official position, he should wear an official uniform when entering the palace. She only thought about this in her heart but didn't dare to ask.

After having breakfast, the two got on the carriage. Su Qing deliberately asked Si Ting to drive the carriage around East Street. She remembered that there was a stall at the entrance of the street with some delicious pastries and sweets.  Su Shisheng should like it. If it was not because she wanted to see Su Shisheng, she would not have agreed with Gu Zifu and came to the palace with him to suffer again.

Su Qing took the oil paper bag handed to her from outside the carriage, the pastries were still warm. She just sat down and saw Gu Zifu leaning there and looking at her.

His gaze that looking at her has made her feel goosebumps. Su Qing thought about it for a moment, hesitantly passed the oil paper bag over and said in a low voice, "Seventh Lord, would you like to have a piece?"

Gu Zifu only took a quick glance at it and looked away disgustingly, "Don't eat, only little girl would eat these kinds of stuff."

Little girl, little girl!

Su Qing turned around sullenly holding the oil paper bag in her hands and looked out of the window, no longer wanting to look at him.

Until they arrived at the front gate of the palace, both of them got out of the carriage, and there were already people waiting for them.

"The Seventh Lord has kept this servant waiting." It was eunuch Changsheng.

As for others, as soon as Gu Zifu got down from the carriage, they knelt on the ground, keeping their head low the whole time. Su Qing was standing close to him but she still could see the little eunuch's legs trembling violently. 

"You're not going to die from waiting anyway." Gu Zifu said coldly. 

Eunuch Changsheng was not annoyed by his comment, he turned to look at Su Qing who was standing behind Gu Zifu and addressed her in respect "Your Highness," he then led them into the palace. While on the way there, he mentioned the recent situation in the palace, "….the Crown Prince has a good moral character and ability. Originally it shouldn't' be a problem, but a few days ago, because his discipline toward his personnel was not strict, they not only committed a big mistake in the palace but let those old ministers get a chance to catch his weakness and bite on it unwilling to let go. Even the prime minister personally stepped in still didn't manage to settle it. Adding with …." He paused and looked around. Seeing that there were fewer people around, continued with a lowered voice, "Adding with King Hong's people mixed in, especially those who were suppressed by the Crown Prince have been making all kinds of efforts."

"Just kill them, there is no need for such trouble." Gu Zifu sneered.

Changsheng smiled bitterly, "The Seventh Lord's word is too simple to say. If they were killed, I'm afraid the Crown Prince's seat might really be insecure."

"Well, if it wasn't for the old man has only these two sons that can be used, it'd be better to have them f*** off a long time ago."

"Seventh Lord, this is in the palace, please speak carefully." Changsheng sighed after warning him. Forget it, with the Seventh Lord's character, it's no use to warn him. It's better for him to talk less.

Su Qing also followed them and lifted up her head to look at Gu Zifu. She was a little curious: What kind of person…. the Seventh Lord before?

Gu Zifu seemed to notice her gaze staring at him. He looked down and just in time to see Su Qing also lowered her head, his thin lip slightly curved up, then placed his fingers on her dimple and heavily pinched it.  

"Keep up, I'll let you see later, who the Seventh Lord really is."

Uh?

"It hurts…." Su Qing looked up in pain and blinked her eyes looking at him in confusion, did not understand his meaning.

The Seventh Lord is the Seventh Lord, who else could he be?

Eunuch Changsheng was walking in front of them, when he heard the two of them stopped, he turned around and looked back, seeing Gu Zifu smiled and said a few more words to Su Qing. There was a shock in Changsheng's eyes, and then immediately shook his head, dismissed the idea and continued to walk forward leisurely.

Sigh*, I'm really old now.

At first, Su Qing didn't understand what Gu Zifu just said, she rubbed her face and cursed him in her heart, but when she reached the main hall, the cloudy fog in her heart suddenly blew away. She looked at the scene in front of her, her fingertips quivering, then with her arms crossed and ran to hide behind the pillar. Even the pain in her face was completely thrown behind her head.

The Seventh Lord, he…..

 ——Actually killed people.

"Say, why don't you continue talking? Didn't you say it very nicely just now?" Gu Zifu snorted slightly, and his beautiful fox-like-eyes were slightly raised. His soft and very magnetic voice passed into everyone's ears, bringing some trace of evilness.

He moved his right hand back, only to hear the sound of a sharp weapon pulling out of the meat with blood gushing out and groaning sound falling to the ground. Everyone who was presented watched the minister in official uniform with his eyes wide open fell to the ground unwillingly.

"You, you will suffer retribution, retribution…"

Gu Zifu didn't dodge and the blood from the sword splashed on his face. He raised his hand to wipe it in disgust.

"Dirty."

Everyone looked at him in horror, even the fiercest one in the hall had also shut up.

The Crown Prince who was standing under the throne, with prime minister Chi was on his right side, the two looked at each other, both understand from their hearts what the matter is but do not choose to say so in public and remained silent.

"….Gu Zifu, this is the main hall, your presumptuous behavior can't be tolerated here!"

"One, two, three….."

Gu Zifu counted with his blood-stained on his fingers and clicked at the corner of his lips, facing the man who was talking to him as if taking him as a joke.

"There are only three people, what to do minister Liang, it seems too little?"

The person who spoke just now was one of the most important confidants of King Hong. Although his official position is not high, he has a good mouth and a smart brain with many schemes. This time he also played a big rule in suppressing the crown prince.

Seeing Gu Zifu approaching him, Minister Liang was sweating heavily, painting violently and retreated in panic.

A glance at the corner of his eyes seemed to think of something, Minister Liang hurried hid behind prime minister Chi and said in fluster, "Prime minister, prime minister…. you have to save me, save me…."

Gu Zifu held the sword rubbing it with the bluestone brick and made the grinding sound, every who heard this having their hair stood up straight with heat pounding.

"I think I have been in the military for decades and made countless contributions to the country, fighting with blood against the foreign enemies, and successfully defeated them. Based on that, this Seventh Lord doesn't even have the right to choose a new emperor?"

He said word by word slowly, but his action was very fast, his big hand grabbed minister Liang and the right-hand holding sharp sword directly cut off his head. The crowd looked at the head rolling on the ground in front of them in shock.

Some newbies who just joined the court could not handle it and fainted.

The crown prince and prime minister Chi were standing closest to them, the blood ended up splashed all over them.

Gu Zifu wore black clothes today, if it was not because of a strong odor of blood, it would be hard to tell the blood strain on his body.

The black garment can only be matched with this person.

Gu Zifu turned around and threw the cold sword in his hand to the ground. He looked around and finally his gaze fell on the figure who was hiding behind the pillar trembling with horror, only a small head was exposed. That person is no other than Su Qing.

He smiled playfully, and said with a proud expression: "Qing Qing, you must remember to be obedient okay…."
