"What are you still doing?"

Yan Qing looked up at the dazed servant and said coldly, "Hurry up and help your young master in!"

"Green Branch, go get the doctor!"

She gave orders one by one with a cold face, and the shocked people reacted instantly. The servant immediately stepped forward and helped Gu Huaizhou into the bookstore together with Yan Qing. Luzhi also ran to the nearby clinic as fast as she could.

After entering the bookstore, Yan Qing asked anxiously, "Cousin, how are you?"

Gu Huaizhou shook his head: "Cousin, I'm fine..."

"Cousin, don't lie to me. You're vomiting blood."

Yan Qing felt extremely guilty and looked at Gu Huaizhou with red eyes.

He is the future emperor of Dayong. If he dies here because of her, there will be no one left to redress the Ye family's wrongdoings...

The more Yan Qing thought about it, the angrier she became, and tears began to fall.

"Cousin, please don't be in any trouble."

She took out a handkerchief and tried to wipe the blood from the corner of Gu Huaizhou's mouth, but the man suddenly grabbed her hand and sat up: "Okay."

Yan Qing: “?”

Tears were still hanging on her long eyelashes, but Yan Qing looked completely dumbfounded.

Gu Huaizhou had already let go of her hand.

She stared blankly at him as he took her light lotus-colored handkerchief and slowly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Gentle, handsome, calm and polite.

But Yan Qing inexplicably felt a burning sensation in his heart.

That's her personal belonging...

"Cousin, look."

Just as Yan Qing looked away awkwardly, Gu Huaizhou handed the handkerchief to her.

Yan Qing took a quick look but didn't see anything.

She looked at Gu Huaizhou in confusion.

Gu Huaizhou encouraged: "Take a closer look."

Yan Qing looked at the handkerchief again. Suddenly, she gasped softly and stared at the bloodstain in shock, "This isn't blood!"

The bloodstains on the handkerchief were darker than the blood itself.

Gu Huaizhou suddenly took out a ceramic jar from his arms and handed it to Yan Qing, with a sly look on his face: "It's plum juice."

Yan Qing suddenly opened his mouth wide.

I don't know whether I was shocked by the fact that he used plum juice to pretend to vomit blood, or by the fact that such a gentle and elegant face showed a childish and mischievous look.

Gu Huaizhou said, "Miss Lu has many followers and is very powerful. Cousin, you should be more careful in the future."

Yan Qing was suddenly ashamed.

If it weren't for Gu Huaizhou, Lu Wenhuan's stick would have hit her. He was injured for her.

"Cousin, I understand."

If she had brought guards with her when she went out today, this wouldn't have happened.

At this time, officials and doctors arrived.

Yan Qing asked the servant to help Gu Huaizhou go to the back to check the injury on his back, while she stayed with the government officials to report it.

"Second Miss Yan, this..."

The prefect was troubled by the mess on the ground.

The eldest daughter of the Wu'an Marquis's Mansion smashed the shop of the Yan Mansion. Both families have been in the spotlight recently, and he doesn't want to offend anyone.

Yan Qing said with a stern face, "My shop was smashed under the Emperor's feet. Will the prefect not do anything about it?"

“Control, control, control!”

The prefect was overwhelmed.

Even the emperor has moved out, how dare he ignore it? Lu Wenhuan of the Wu'an Marquis Mansion is not easy to mess with, and this Yan Qing is even harder to mess with!

Commit sin!

The prefect immediately called the shopkeeper to question him.

After searching for a long time, they finally found the bookstore owner and his clerk under the counter. They were all gagged and tied together, with wounds all over their faces and bodies.

The prefect: "..."

The officials conducted their usual inquiries and investigations, and Yan Qing stood aside and watched. After the inquiries were completed and the officials left, the shopkeeper said in awe, "Second Miss, this bookshop..."

"Let's close it for now."

Yan Qing asked Qingluan to take some silver and divide it among the people. He said slowly, "Opening a bookstore here is a loss-making business. Why not take this opportunity to change your livelihood? You should stay at home and recuperate for the next few days. Come back after the shop reopens."

The shopkeeper was flattered: "Thank you, Second Miss!"

They are all elders of the Ye family, running the shop for the wife, but the wife is not good at running the shop, so the shop is mostly in a loss-making state.

Today the shop was smashed in his hands. They were all prepared to be held accountable, but the second young lady not only did not blame them, but also gave them money to go home, which made the shopkeeper and the clerk very grateful.

Yan Qing asked the doctor to treat the men's injuries.

After everything was settled, it was already the end of the You hour and the beginning of the Xu hour. The sky was dark and there was no moon tonight.

"Miss, it's time to go home."

Qingluan led the carriage to the entrance of the bookstore.

Yan Qing had just stepped onto the carriage when he suddenly paused, turned around and asked, "Where's my cousin?"

After learning that Gu Huaizhou did not vomit blood, she felt relieved. When Gu Huaizhou was treating his injuries in the back, Yan Qing did not go to see him.

Luzhi said, "My cousin has already left."

Yan Qing frowned: "How did you leave?"

"Just...left?"

Luzhi didn't understand what was going on, so what else could she do?

My cousin is not a proper young master in the mansion, and is treated harshly by Madam Zhen. He does not have a carriage on weekdays and has to walk when traveling.

Yan Qing went up the driveway: "Catch up."

It was getting late and Gu Huaizhou was injured again. It would be bad if he got into any more trouble.

A moment later, the carriage caught up with the master and servant.

On the dim street, the servant supported Gu Huaizhou and limped towards Yan's mansion.

Yan Qing looked out the car window. The man had a broad back and looked like he was walking under the clear wind and bright moon. However, he had to stop after every step, as if the wound on his back was aggravating and it was very difficult for him to walk.

She suddenly felt that she had gone too far.

Gu Huaizhou helped her twice today and even got injured for her, but she actually let him walk home...

"cousin."

The carriage stopped in front of Gu Huaizhou, and Yan Qing said, "Let's go together."

Gu Huaizhou forced a smile: "It's okay, just a few more steps and we'll be there... cough... cough cough!"

In the night, his face was as pale as paper.

Gu Huaizhou's servant was trembling.

The doctor said the young master's back injury was not serious and he didn't even need medicine. But just now, after hearing the sound of the carriage, the young master suddenly became very weak and asked for help to walk...

Yan Qing didn't notice anything wrong with the servant.

Seeing Gu Huaizhou refuse, she ordered without hesitation: "Help my cousin get in the car."

"Yes."

Qingluan and Luzhi immediately got out of the carriage and helped Gu Huaizhou into it.

The man was tall, and the originally spacious carriage suddenly became cramped. Gu Huaizhou looked at Yan Qing with an uneasy look, his face flushed. "Cousin, this is not in accordance with etiquette..."

"No need to worry, cousin."

Seeing him insist on etiquette despite being so badly injured, Yan Qing secretly lamented her own petty mindset. She softly said, "You and I are cousins, so riding in the same carriage isn't considered impolite. Besides, you're injured, cousin."

"Just sit down and relax, cousin."

Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Gu Huaizhou could only smile bitterly: "In that case, I'll trouble you, cousin."

He sat obediently on one side.

Yan Qing's thoughts drifted to his previous life.

At that time, the battle for the throne among the five kings had just ended. As a member of the Qi Wang party, Lu Qiaonan was originally going to be liquidated, but he finally escaped because he killed the Qi Wang with his own hands and presented the jade seal.

However, the Wu'an Marquis Mansion no longer has the glory it once had.

Yan Tan ran to her and complained that the new emperor was ungrateful. When he was in trouble, it was the Yan family who provided him with food and clothing, and now it was Lu Qiaonan who helped him win the throne. Not only was he ungrateful, he even dismissed Lu Qiaonan from his position. He was repaying kindness with enmity and was unkind and unjust...

Later, these words somehow reached the ears of the new emperor.

Gu Huaizhou, who was the emperor at the time, actually ordered Lu Qiaonan to personally pull out Yan Tan's tongue...

Later, it was heard that he relied heavily on cruel officials and carried out large-scale killings. It was almost as if those who obeyed him prospered, while those who opposed him perished. Countless people were implicated and died every day, and everyone in the capital was in danger.

In his previous life, Gu Huaizhou was a complete tyrant.

So even though he rehabilitated her grandfather's family, Yan Qing was grateful, but when she saw him again after her rebirth, she still felt wary of him.

Especially with the Qingzhuyuan incident...
