Momo, who changed clothes for Su Qing, came in again to deliver food and drink for them. Holding the tray of food and drink, as she was going to put them on the table, she took a glance at them and saw the two were sleeping on the bed, their postures were very intimated, her face turned terrified, quickly put down the tray and left the room.
Su Qing woke up from hunger and stared at her surrounding in confusion. Looking at the bed curtain that seemed to be put down by someone, blocking the sunlight from outside making the room looked a bit gloomy.
The bowl on the table was steaming hot, she tried to smell it carefully, it was the smell of meat. She didn't eat much this morning before she left for the palace. As for the pastries she bought, she asked the eunuch Changsheng to bring them to Su Shisheng. Changsheng is a smart person, Su Qing knew some matters she cannot hide from him.
At this time, lunch time has already passed. She fell asleep in the middle of feeling frightened. Now her stomach is growling.
Su Qing was sleeping sideways, her mind gradually cleared up and as she was about to get up, lowered her head and realized that she was resting on Gu Zifu's arm.
She was taken aback, looking at it again and screamed out "ah" and dragged the quilt as she fell off the bed in panic.
There was no cover on his body, Gu Zifu's nice body was fully displayed in front of her, his big shoulder and long legs. A slender figure combining with his broad and white chest has made Su Qing's face and switching back and forth from red to white.
Could not tell if she's angry or ashamed.
"You, you, me…. I….."
Su Qing was sitting on the ground in surprise, pointing her finger at him, "You, you, me, me." She said for half a day but lost for word.
There was a small slit in the window, the cool breeze blew in, making Gu Zifu's eyelids moved a little and slowly opened his eyes.
As soon as he opened his eyes the scene greeting him was a little girl clinging to the guilt tightly and her hair was messy. Her face flushed as she sat on the ground staring angrily at him. Her pink and tender lips also became moist with tooth marks.
Gu Zifu's eyes stayed on her lips for a while, then licking his lip as he's going to get up slowly. As soon as he moved, Su Qing screamed out "ah" again, with both hands covering her tightly, said with gritting teeth, "The Seventh Lord is a shameless old rogue!"
"Huh?" Gu Zifu's body reclined to the bed and lowered his head to inspect his body, he then finally realized the reason why the little girl was blushing. The corner of his mouth slightly curved up and pointed at the piece of cloth that tied to his waist and said: "How can there be the rogue, look, isn't it covered?"
He added at the end of the sentence, "It's just a bit revealing."
The moment she heard his remark, Su Qing's face turned redder as if dripping blood, it spread from her neck to the earlobe. The adorable red that makes people want to take a bite….
Su Qing was so embarrassed and angry at this moment. Her mind gradually recovered and remembered what happened in the morning. She remembered she was very terrified and crying non stopped. After that she was carried back by Gu Zifu, and at the end she cried herself to sleep.
Reluctantly to part her fingers, lowered her head to check the clothes on her body and found that she was dressed neatly, but not the same clothes she wore in the morning.
Her heart skipped a beat.
Could it be the clothes were changed by……
Su Qing didn't dare to think anymore, feeling the hot sensation on her face, she once again covered her face tightly and did not dare to look up to see Gu Zifu. Afraid to see what should not be seen.
"Qing Qing, this lord is cold. You quickly come up to warm me." He's deliberately teasing her and calling her name lazily.
Su Qing really couldn't imagine that a big man shamelessly called her pet name in such a sweet way, it's really…really…..
She thought for a long time but still couldn't come up with any good words to put it. Forcing herself to stop having crazy thoughts, but the fascinating scene just now seems to be stuck in her mind, and she can't get rid of it.
Cold?
Really wished to see him frozen to death, so there will be one less scourge in this world.
While Su Qing was in a deep thought, she suddenly felt moist hot air blew across her neck, making her heart tremble.
Su Qing moved her fingers away tremblingly, and her watery eyes peeped out from her fingers. She carefully looked before her, and did not expect Gu Zifu to rush forward. His magnificent handsome face has startled her, and her eyes wandering around in flustered. That fair seemed to be exceptional dashing in the dark room, as if bringing a ray of light, making it hard to move the eyes away.
"You go away! Go away!"
"That can't do." Gu Zifu licked his lips, simply reached out and hugged Su Qing into his arms with a quilt. Casually picked her up from the ground like holding a baby, and carrying the person back to the bed.
Su Qing subconsciously grabbed his shoulder, but the smooth slippery touch made her suddenly retract her hand like the hot potato. Afraid to look at him, as her eyes fluttered to look elsewhere.
Shame on you!
But after the fuss, the fear that she had in the main hall seemed to be calmed down by a lot.
Gu Zifu placed the person down on the bed, and laid down the quilt to cover her slender legs. He then stared at Su Qing for a while before squeezing the little girl's red cheek, the delicate and soft cheek making him fond of it so much that his hand cannot bear to part with.
"Calmed down now?"
Su Qing looked up at him hesitantly, and after a while nodded in uncertainty.
Gu Zifu only said "Uh" lightly without any meaning. The room was very quiet, as he was thinking what to say next, and saw the corner of the quilt was pulled lightly by a small white hand, lowered his head, he saw the little girl's tense expression as she looking at him and uneasily opened her mouth, "The Seventh, Seventh Lord, let's talk a normal way, I'm timid."
Stop scaring me.
Gu Zifu narrowed his fox-like eyes, and lightly smiled as he looked at Su Qing's apparently staring at him with uncertainty.
Not bad, she finally has learned to bargain with him now.
"This lord killed those old men, it has nothing to do with you, what are you afraid of?" He spoke.
Su Qing frowed but did not say a word.
After a long while, he head her muffled back, "But all of them are the high officials of the imperial court, the crime of killing the official is to be beheaded, and …. and the Crown Prince is a not a good person, there's only a throne and power in the head."
Gu Zifu stunned a little, and then immediately climbed over and cheerfully smiled at Su Qing as he placed his face closer to her, "Qing Qing, are you worried about the Seventh Lord?" Maybe he thought it was fun, and then turned to puff a soft warm air in her ear.
Su Qing felt itchy, rubbed her ear with her shoulder, and avoided him—— she's not worrying about him. The Seventh Lord has unpredictable temperament. If he wanted to kill someone he would kill without a second thought and his mood changes as he feels like it. Beside, she's not stupid, she could tell even if the Seventh Lord's brain suddenly has a smoke and doesn't to live, no matter what Su Shizhuo would go as far as to wail calling upon heaven and earth and begging his ancestor to recure the Seventh Lord and bring him back.
There are only a few powerful officials in the court. If the Seventh Lord is gone, who will help him to protect his throne?
Not getting her response, Gu Zifu became more and more pestering her and unwilling to let her. This man is still undressed, his upper body is completely naked as she felt his smooth skin touching hers. Su Qing does not have a thick face like him, it's hard to deal with him directly. Trying to hide her blushing face to the side but at that moment she heard Si Ting knocked on the door and said from outside that the Seventh Lord's clothes had been delivered.
Su Qing immediately pushed the person on top of her away to release the weight on her body and hurried to get out of bed panickingly, without even having time to wear her shoes.
Su Qing scratched her fingers, thinking about the smooth skin she touched just now, Seventh Lord's skin is really good, nothing like a thirty-year old man at all.
Si Ting brought over a few sets of clothes from the Gu Courtyard. When he looked up and saw Su Qing only wearing a thin garment, without saying anything he hurriedly gave the clothes to Su Qing and quickly turned around and ran without turning back leaving Su Qing staring in confusion.
She closed the door, put the clothes next to bed, and then went to look at the mirror, apparently she seemed to look nothing out of ordinary except her hair a little bit messy.
"Do I look so terrible…." Su Qing asked as she pouted her cheeks.
Gu Zifu was picking his clothes, and casually said "um", and chose a white set to set aside and said, "The blood of those people is really dirty, has ruined the Seventh Lord set of clothes."
Su Qing: "……."
The Seventh Lord, your face is really thick.
While dissing him inside her mind, the stomach suddenly growled. Su Qing lowered her head and touched her belly, and then remembered that there is food on the table that she eats to fill her stomach. As she was about to waked over to the table, the corner of her eyes inadvertently glanced at the mirror, it felt as if a "bang" hammered her head, and followed by a loud "Pow", Su Qing fiercely slammed the mirror on the table.
Gu Zifu was wearing the pants, he was surprised by her sudden movement and asked, "What are you doing?"
"The Seventh Lord is an old rogue!"
"Rogue?" Gu Zifu fastened his belt, raised his eyes lazily, as his fox-like eyes looked at the mirror on the table. The corner of his lips curved up with interest, revealing an elegantly smile and whispered to himself, "Um, also a young rogue."
Standing outside the Jian Zhi Palace, her cheeks bulging as she's using her hand as a fan waving back and forth for the cool air to help herself calm down. After taking a few mouthfuls of cold air, she is finally able to calm herself down a lot but the image is still stuck in her mind, making her unavoidably still feeling bashful and upset.
Because she ran out in a hurry, Su Qing only wears thin clothes, and with no shoes. Now that it's summer time, she doesn't need to worry about the cold. No matter what, she won't go back having Gu Zifu toying with her again.
After thinking like this, Su Qing remembered seeing a swing in the remote corner of Jian Zhi Palace. She should go there to calm herself down.
The swing is very shabby. After brushing off the dust, she sat down and started to hear the squeaky sound from not using it for a long time, yet Su Qing's mood has become better. She pushed it with the tip of the toes, swinging it higher and higher, she could catch sight outside the Jian Zhi Palace, seeing the palace maids laughing and playing with each other while walking by the small road.
The wind blew her clothes and also seemed to appease Su Qing's restless heart.
This morning at the main hall, she was really frightened, a large piece of blood spread everywhere, very disturbing to look at.
"This official has found Your Highness." A soft and pleasant voice came from the side while she was in a trance.
Su Qing stopped the swing and turned to look.
That man is wearing the official uniform, his look is not the best, but he has a pair of eyes that are as warm as a spring breeze, and a warm smile on his face. Just standing there already makes people feel an inexplicable sense of warmth and security.
"Who are you?" Su Qing asked, tilting her head.
"Your Highness is still so cold and heartless as before." The man laughed helplessly, and immediately took out a thick envelope from his sleeve, walked to Su Qing and handed it to her, saying, "These are the banknotes that Your Highness secretly has this official kept at the bank outside the palace. Now Your Highness is married, I should return them to the original owner. Before because Your Highness has always been by the Seventh Lord's side, this official had no opportunity to go near you. I was thinking about sending someone to give to you, but afraid of acting rashly and alerting the enemy. If I have caused Your Highness to suffer these days, this official admitted the mistake, and asked Your Highness for punishment."
