Princess, please respect yourself

Tea poured water to feed fruit.

Long Gui sneaked into the house, and saw her mother lying on the bed, furious, but there was no one in the house—maybe they were all rushing out to announce the good news to the emperor.

Long Gui threw himself on the head of the bed, grabbed his mother's hand and shook it desperately, the skinny hand felt like holding a handful of dead branches.

Mother finally opened her eyes exhausted, but she didn't look at Long Gui, but looked at the door, "The Emperor...is the Emperor here?"

Long Gui clenched his lips and shook his head.

Mother was extremely disappointed, the eager flames in her eyes slowly burned to ashes and cooled down.

"Even if you give birth to a boy...can't it work?" The mother reluctantly said, looking outside the door, hanging there in one breath, every time she breathed, it was like a dilapidated bellows, making a wheezing sound, but until the end In the end, he didn't even look at Long Gui.

"He won't come." Long Gui said angrily, "He's at Concubine Ning's place! Even if you die, he will at most give you a grand funeral, but he will never come to see you again."

"No..." Mother trembled her lips, shook her head, and refused to believe her ears.

"You just gave birth to a son, so what? He can have a baby with you, and he can have a baby with someone else. What's so special?" Long Gui said what he had heard from others half-understood, delusional I can make my mother look at me squarely.

After hearing Long Gui's words, Mother's face could no longer be calm. Tears flowed from her sunken eye sockets, slid over her thin cheeks, gathered on her pointed chin, and then dripped onto the best silk in the entire Dragon Kingdom. superior.

"You know he won't come, right? His thoughts are all with Concubine Ning, you all know that! Even if there is no Concubine Ning, there will be other women. Why can't you wake up? Men's feelings It's unreliable!" Bitter words came out of Long Gui's mouth uncontrollably, but she refused to mention that her knees kneeling in front of Concubine Ning's palace were stiff, and her hoarse voice was still ignored by no one.

"Why can't you take a look at me? Isn't it okay if we are together? Why don't you believe me?" Long Gui knelt beside his mother and asked loudly. Fingers are cold.

Someone came to drag Long Gui away, Long Gui struggled to turn around, and saw her mother's eyes were still looking at the door, the light reflected from the tears in the corners of her eyes hurt her heart, and it was fixed in her memory, making her unforgettable forever.

(づ￣3￣)づ

"What happened later?" Ziluan asked while feeding Longgui some fruit, "Did you suffer a lot?"

"Later?" Long Gui frowned and thought for a while, then replied: "It's okay, my mother went away, and I was depressed for a while. At that time, I felt that my father was not close, my mother was not loving, and I had a younger brother who was ugly to follow." Monkey-like."

"Really?" Ziluan opened her eyes wide.

Long Gui said embarrassingly, "It's very pitiful..."

"It's so pitiful!" Ziluan said loudly, "It looks like a monkey!"

"……All right."

"and then?"

"Then I found out that I have to be strong enough to be free, so I had to work hard." Long Gui replied casually.

Ziluan asked suspiciously: "Free and easy? Don't you just do whatever you want?"

"Almost, the meaning is almost the same." Seeing Zi Luan tilting his head in thought while holding a piece of fruit, Long Gui had no choice but to eat it by himself.

"I thought you worked so hard to get your parents' approval and to protect your younger brother." Ziluan took another piece of fruit.

"It's almost there. If it's not strong enough, beautiful words such as protected, recognized, idealized, etc. are all empty words and meaningless."

Ziluan excitedly clenched her fists and said loudly: "You are right! I want to be stronger too! Sister Long, I want to learn from you and be strong enough to protect my family!"

"Hey~" Long Gui looked at Zi Luan sadly.

Ziluan asked cautiously: "Did I say something wrong?"

"I want to eat……"

"Oh!" Ziluan hurriedly opened her clenched fist, but the piece of fruit in the palm of her hand had already been smashed into a bad shape. Ziluan blushed and wanted to change a piece, but Long Gui quickly lowered her head and ate the piece of fruit, it was soft Rubbing Ziluan's palm with her lips, the numb itching feeling spread down her arm to her heart.

(づ￣3￣)づ

Before dawn the next day, Ziluan quietly got up to freshen up, and asked the maid who was watching the night at the door to take her to the training ground.

Although Longguo is more literary than martial arts, Longgui's mansion has an exquisite and complete martial arts field, with horse riding, archery, and all kinds of weapons.

When Zi Luan arrived, there was already a female teacher who taught riding there, and Long Gui's favorite horse was waiting there. Except for a small section of red on the horse's hoof, the horse was black without any stray hairs.

Ziluan tried to get close to the proud bloody horse. She was relatively thin, and the horse's head was so tall that she could hardly touch it with her hands.

Seeing her approaching, the horse impatiently tapped its hooves on the ground, snorted, and circled around the stable boy leading the horse.

Ziluan was a little frightened, hesitating and not daring to go forward.

"Don't be afraid, it is a good and loyal boy." Long Gui's voice sounded behind Ziluan.

Ziluan said pleasantly: "Sister Long, you got up so early?"

"I'm used to it." After finishing speaking, Long Gui took a step forward, put his uninjured hand around the horse's neck, and whispered in its ear: "She is Ziluan, and she will be your master from now on. You have to protect her well." she."

The horse lowered his head sadly and rubbed his head against Long Gui's shoulder.

Long Gui turned his head and said to Ziluan with a smile: "Come here and hug it, promise me that you will treat it as you would treat me in the future."

Zi Luan mustered up the courage to walk over, and reached out to touch the neatly trimmed mane on the horse's back. The mane was hard and slightly prickly.

"It's like a brush!" Ziluan became happy, touched it back and forth, and asked with a smile, "What's its name?"

Long Gui paused for a moment, then replied, "Treading blood."

"Treading the snow?" Ziluan exclaimed, "It's such a poetic name. If you are looking for red plums when you step on the snow, how many red plums do you need to dye the horseshoes red? It's so beautiful just thinking about it."

Long Gui smiled and said nothing.

Taxue seemed to understand her praise, and raised his head and hissed. Ziluan was no longer afraid because Long Gui was by his side.

Seeing that Taxue no longer disliked Ziluan's closeness, Long Gui backed away with a smile, sat on the recliner prepared by the side of the teaching ground, and drank tea leisurely.

"Sister Long, won't you teach me horsemanship?" Ziluan chased after her and asked Long Gui by the sleeve.

Long Gui pointed helplessly at his injured shoulder.

Ziluan lowered her head in disappointment, and obediently walked towards the equestrian master.

The equestrian master bowed deeply to Ziluan and said, "Just call me equestrian master, my name is not important."

Ziluan thought this man was weird, but this weird equestrian master taught Ziluan the most unforgettable lesson in his life with a ruler-Ziluan was spanked in public because of his poor movements.

Zi Luan was ashamed and in pain, looked at Long Gui with tears in her eyes, and found that Long Gui was lying on the recliner, falling asleep.

When it was time to rest, Ziluan ran to Long Gui's side, pulled Long Gui's sleeve tearfully and did not speak.

Long Gui was "woke up" and asked in surprise, "Why are you crying? Who bullied you?"

Ziluan pouted and did not speak.

"Who? Who is it?" Seeing that Ziluan didn't speak, Long Gui turned to the maid and asked loudly, "Who dares to bully her? Take it out and chop it up and feed it to the dogs!"

"Ah!" Ziluan was startled, "It's okay, it's okay! I just got sand in my eyes, and I want Sister Long to help me."

"Really?" Long Gui asked seriously, "Isn't someone bullying you?"

"No! Really not!" Ziluan replied firmly.

"That's it..." Long Gui smiled slightly, and said to Ziluan, "Let me blow your eyes for you."

After finishing speaking, she stretched out her hand to lift Ziluan's chin, approached slowly, and finally saw her little self in Ziluan's black and white eyes.

Finally someone is willing to look at me seriously...

It's a pity that the equestrian master was very puzzled and shouted: "It's time for a break!"

Ziluan hurried back to practice, while Long Gui smiled at her clumsy and serious look, feeling that life was peaceful.

At this time someone walked into Longgui and whispered: "Princess, Che Fei has been wandering outside the mansion, please give me instructions."

Long Gui pondered for a moment, then ordered: "Bring me back to the bedroom."

Four maids stepped forward, holding a leg of a reclining chair each, and carried Long Gui who had "sleeped" to the bedroom.

Long Gui finished his meal slowly in the bedroom, and ordered: "Bring me to that special carriage, I want to go out of the city to relax.

"Which dress are you wearing, princess?" the maid in charge of the clothes asked dutifully.

"I like that one!" Long Gui pointed with his finger.

The maid didn't ask any more questions, but just unfolded Long Guizhi's clothes and helped Long Gui put them on.

After Long Gui changed his clothes, he was still lying on the recliner, and was carried all the way to the gate, where he put the recliner into a super large carriage.

The carriage galloped all the way to the outside of the city.

Not long after leaving the city, someone followed behind on a horse. The man was wearing a bamboo hat, and when he looked up at the carriage, his face was revealed—it was Che Fei.

The closer Che Fei got to the carriage, the more he could feel the uneasiness in the long chain around his waist, and he couldn't help but secretly feel complacent: It really is a weapon that has been used for more than ten years, and he can feel his murderous aura!This time, the special envoy must be killed, so as not to leave future troubles.

Seeing that the distance to the carriage was getting closer and closer, Che Fei quietly reached out and took off the chain and threw it vigorously, the weapon gleamed coldly and went straight to the driver.

☆, see through

Che Fei fastened the other end of the iron chain to his wrist, and wrapped the rest tightly around his arm, clenched it tightly, waiting to cut off the coachman's head in one fell swoop.

It's a pity that there was a sudden change. The sharp blade barely touched the coachman, but the speed suddenly slowed down. The coachman just used the whip in his hand for a little bit, and the blade suddenly shifted towards the carriage, and it stuck to the carriage with a snap. The coachman took the horsewhip, poked it, picked it up, and lightly passed the horsewhip through the iron chain and pinned it to the window.

Che Fei was overjoyed, he didn't have time to think about it, he used all his strength to tighten the iron chain, intending to tear the carriage apart.

But the driver calmly and skillfully drove the horse around a circle, galloping back and forth, and unexpectedly passed by the horse that Che Fei was riding.

As Che Fei expected, he made repeated mistakes, and before he could untie the iron buckle on his wrist, he was directly carried by the iron chain out of the saddle and flew up. After turning around in the air, he felt that the surrounding scenery was spinning, and there was a sound coming from his ear. There was a whistling sound of wind and the crisp sound of wrist bones dislocated and broken, and then fell face down on the ground, gliding for a long distance, so that the part between the legs hit a pile of raised hard rocks , splashed a large cloud of blood.

Fortunately, the carriage stopped quickly, and Che Fei covered it with both hands, curled up like a fresh prawn, trembling with pain, unable to speak a word.

Long Guicong opened the car door, jumped out of the car calmly, stretched out the black night clothes on his body, and sighed "tsk tsk", "You really trust people too easily, who wears night clothes when going out in broad daylight? "

Reaching out his hand, he carefully took off the thin blade, tested the sharpness of the blade with his fingers, and praised: "It's really a rare good knife!"

After finishing speaking, Long Gui carefully walked towards Che Fei with the scimitar between his fingers, and the driver hurriedly persuaded: "Princess is precious, please be careful."

"It's nothing." Long Gui said with a smile, "It's all a misunderstanding. We both work for the emperor, so we are considered colleagues!"

After finishing speaking, Long Gui walked towards Che Fei and said, "Hey! Take heart, isn't that thing gone? What's the big deal? You are so desperate to live, let us not grow that much these days How do things live?"

Che Fei raised his head angrily with the last bit of strength, wanting to see who is such a scoundrel, but saw a handsome face.

"It's... you?!" Che Fei couldn't believe her eyes, and suddenly understood the connection between all the things.

Long Gui nodded sincerely and said, "It's easy if you recognize me. You just need to tell me how many sons King Mohe has, and I'll help you relieve the pain right away!"

Che Fei was so painful that he couldn't speak, lowered his head, and stretched out three fingers of his right hand tremblingly.

Long Gui nodded in satisfaction, adjusted the position and direction of the blade in his hand, let go of it lightly, and then retreated five steps in a row as if floating backwards.

The blade landed on Che Fei's neck accurately, and blood spurted out like an arrow. Che Fei wailed, and pulled out the blade with his backhand. His cut hand was covered in blood, but in the end he still had no strength to lift it up, and twitched a few times in the pool of blood. It was motionless.

Long Gui stood in the distance and shouted at Che Fei: "Is the pain gone?"

It's a pity that Che Fei has no way to answer her.

Looking at Che Fei's corpse, Long Gui shook his head and sighed: "The man can't bear the setbacks, but he just fell off the horse by accident and lost his face, so he couldn't think about committing suicide. What a pity!"

The coachman quietly covered his crotch with his hands, and glanced sideways at Long Gui.

"Do you have any questions? Qian Da." Long Gui glanced at him and asked coldly.

Qian Da hurriedly asked respectfully: "Isn't King Mohe's three princes known to all three-year-old children in Long Kingdom? Why did the princess ask him again?"

Long Gui chuckled, stretched out his hand and patted Qian Da on the shoulder and said, "To become an excellent person, you need to have a wide range of knowledge and a sharp mind. Don't just practice martial arts blindly. It's useless. Just look at Che Fei's martial arts. Isn't it tall? But how did he use his fingers to compare?"

Qian Da tried his best to recall, and after gesticulating with his fingers for a long time, he suddenly realized: "Ah! The way he gesticulates is wrong!"

Long Gui smiled, shook his head, and said, "It's not wrong, it's just that it's the Mohe tribe's way of making gestures."

Qian Da admired him, and asked, "When did the princess start to doubt him?"

Long Gui snorted coldly, "Don't you think the weapon he uses is too strange? Have you ever seen a meteor hammer, have you seen a meteor sickle like his?"

Qian Da was so embarrassed that he couldn't speak, Long Gui saw that he had nothing to say, so he walked towards the carriage, Qian Da hurried over, knelt down in front of the carriage door, and let Long Gui step on his back to get into the carriage.

After Long Gui sat down, Qian Dacai climbed to the driver's seat in front of the carriage and asked, "Princess, where shall we go next?"

"Go to the palace to present treasures. Father will definitely like this carriage."

Qian Da responded, and drove straight to the Imperial Palace in the capital.

When Long Gui arrived at the palace, the emperor had just come down early, Long Gui coquettishly called "Father Emperor" and rushed to the emperor's side.

The emperor frowned and scolded: "A girl's house, what's the point of making so much noise?"

Long Gui didn't care, just smiled and offered the treasure: "Father, what did I bring?"

A servant had already brought the carriage to show the emperor.

The emperor glanced casually, and said: "Now the treasury of the Dragon Kingdom is empty, and your simple and unpretentious carriage style is very satisfactory to me."

Long Gui shook his head and said: "It's not that simple, this carriage is made of magnet, it can absorb all iron objects that come close to the carriage, if you don't believe me, take a look!"

After finishing speaking, Long Gui casually took off the hairpin on his head and threw it over. As expected, the hairpin was attracted to the carriage and stuck to it.

The emperor was taken aback: "You are a dignified princess, and you actually wear iron hairpins?"

Long Gui smiled awkwardly. He didn't know how to explain that gold products can also be attracted, so he simply followed the emperor's words and said, "It's not that the treasury of the Dragon Kingdom is empty, so I take the lead in thrift..."

"Nonsense!" The emperor said angrily, "Aren't you disgracing the Dragon Kingdom? Let outsiders think that even the poor princesses of my Dragon Kingdom can't afford gold hairpins!"

The chief manager of internal affairs who was waiting at the side hurriedly handed over the account book in his hand, and said: "This is an antique utensil newly collected from various places, gold, silver and silk, and I just want to present it to the emperor for your review."

The emperor took it in his hand without looking at it, flipped it to about the middle and tore it in half, handed the front part to the head of internal affairs, and ordered: "The front part is for Princess Xianggui, you hurry up and make another booklet with the things attached to it." Send them to the princess mansion together."

Long Gui hurriedly knelt down to thank her, with a smile on his face but worried in his heart, the front of the booklet was full of big pieces, engraved with the inscription of the palace, and they could only be placed in the treasury when they were taken back, who would dare to use them?

The emperor gave Long Gui a little support, and then whispered in Long Gui's ear: "Many of these things are necessary for the palace, and you can sell them back when the time comes."

Long Gui was truly elated, and walked and chatted with the emperor to the palace.

"Father, what made you frown? Why don't you let me share it." Long Gui asked.

The emperor smiled and shook his head, "You are a girl, what can you do for me? Finding a husband's family while you are young is the right thing to do. It is so easy to wait for you to find someone you like. She looks thin and small, and she is still young." It's effeminate, it's just nonsense."

Long Gui said anxiously: "Father? Doesn't the 'marriage stone' you promised yourself not count?"

"Count it! Why don't you do it! I will marry you to whomever the stone is on!"

Long Gui laughed happily when he heard this, but the emperor continued: "Since you have a place in your heart, the day of your wedding must be approaching. Concubine Ning Guifei specially hired the best etiquette master for you to teach you how to speak and behave, and how to respond when you advance and retreat." , to ensure that you marry into your husband's family in the future and deal with it properly."

Long Gui scolded her in his heart, but with the same smile on his face, he replied: "Then I will thank Concubine Ning, and thank her eighteen generations of ancestors!"

☆, scare

"Stop being presumptuous! Concubine Ning's family members broke the law before. In order not to embarrass me, she not only refused to plead, but also asked me to deal with it strictly. It is rare to find a woman who is willing to sacrifice her family for me. I know you don't like her, but At least you have to respect her." The emperor said solemnly.

Long Gui lowered his head to hide the sneer at the corner of her mouth, secretly glad that there was a veil behind her, otherwise blind people could see her disdain.

When he arrived at the emperor's bedroom, he saw Concubine Ning Gui and Second Prince Long Min waiting at the door from afar.

After presenting the ceremony to the emperor, Concubine Ning made fun of Long Gui and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, the princess looks very happy, but what kind of plaything did you get?"

Long Gui blew on the veil covering his face, and said: "No matter how good it is, it can't compare to the heart of the imperial concubine!"

Concubine Ning said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? Everyone in the palace is watching. I didn't have any sweethearts in the yard!"

The emperor coughed heavily, and looked at Concubine Ning Gui dissatisfiedly, "What are you talking about? Why are you so respectful to the world?"

Long Gui wiped away the non-existent tears with his hands, and said aggrievedly: "I just want to say that nothing can compare to the concubine's feelings for Emperor Min, why did the concubine lose her temper so much? Did I accidentally say something serious?" thing?"

"You..." Concubine Ning was speechless angrily, Long Min hurriedly said aside: "Sister Huang, don't talk nonsense, saying the wrong thing will cause death."

Long Gui screamed, hugged the emperor's arm and began to cry, muttering: "Father, I'm so scared!"

The emperor didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and replied: "What are you afraid of? Obediently go and learn court etiquette. When the time comes, I will marry you to anyone who doesn't like me, and ruin his family for three generations!"

Long Gui was tugging at the emperor's sleeve and was making a fuss, and saw Prime Minister Liu Xian coming unannounced from a distance, seeing Liu Xian's solemn face, Long Gui quickly backed away, giving the emperor his central position.

Liu Xian knelt down in front of the emperor and reported: "Your Majesty, if you have something urgent, please play!"

"Quite!" The emperor replied succinctly.

"Che Fei, the left capital of the Military Patrol Academy, was murdered. Not only did the murderer ruin his face, but he also cut off his penis. This matter is related to the guards of the capital. I ask the emperor to investigate it strictly!"

Before the emperor could reply, Concubine Ning rolled her eyes and passed out. Fortunately, Long Min reached out to support her in time, and a group of servants came forward to help or hug or take smelling salts. Concubine Ning woke up leisurely.

The emperor asked with concern: "My concubine has been standing for a long time, and her body is weak?"

Concubine Ning was dazed for a while before replying: "I've been too lazy to move these days, and I want to eat something sour, maybe it's..."

"Really?" The emperor was overjoyed, "Dr. Xuan!"

A servant who passed on the message flew to the imperial physician who was in charge of gynecology.

The rest of the people panicked and sent Concubine Ning Gui back to her bedroom like worshiping their ancestors. Only Long Gui narrowed his eyes slightly and quietly remembered everyone's expressions in his heart.

When the crowd retreated, the emperor turned around and saw Liu Xian was still kneeling on the ground, then remembered what he had told him, and asked, "Who did you say was killed just now?"

"Che Fei, Zuo Dusi of the Military Patrol Academy was tortured and murdered. The scene is horrible. There are people who ignore the laws and regulations of the country and harm the civil servants of the country. Please send someone to investigate strictly!"

"Zuo Dusi? He is not a relative of the emperor. Besides, even if the prince breaks the law, he still has to commit the same crime as the common people. We should hand this case over to the Ministry of Officials and follow the procedures."

"Your majesty is wise! Just one word can solve your confusion!" Liu Xian kowtowed, and the words of praise and virtue flowed like water from his mouth.

The emperor was in a good mood, he didn't care about him, waved his hand, turned and walked into the bedroom.

Long Gui carefully changed his standing position, trying to stay in the blind spot of the emperor's vision, but unfortunately the emperor ordered without turning his head: "Take Princess Xianggui to see the master of etiquette! When the master of etiquette is satisfied, when will See you again."

Long Gui wailed, seeing that he really couldn't escape, so he followed the servant to see the master of etiquette, and he didn't have time to return home until it was dark.

Long Gui returned to the mansion, first dealt with important and important matters in the front hall, then went to the back hall to deal with private matters, and finally washed up and went to see Zi Luan with his hair down.

Ziluan and Yan's husband and wife lived in separate rooms on both sides, so someone led Long Gui straight to Ziluan's residence.

Seeing from the outside, the room was pitch-dark and the lights were not on. The maid leading the way whispered, "Mr. Yan didn't eat dinner after his equestrian practice, and he didn't come out after entering the bedroom. No one should call."

Long Gui nodded, and ordered: "I'll make some meat porridge later."

He stretched out his hand to push the door, and found that it was unlocked, so he pushed it open, shouting: "Ziluan, I'm here to see you, what are you doing?"

After pushing open the door, the maid got a wink from Long Gui, and hurried in to light the oil lamp on the table, quietly retreated to ask the chef to make porridge, and then waited at the door for orders.

At the door, Long Gui had already noticed that there was only one person breathing in the room, but he still cautiously approached the bed, and found that Zi Luan was lying face down on the bed motionless, her hair bun was not even opened, and she was still wearing the clothes she taught in the morning. The white clothes worn by the martial arts field have long been stained with dust, and the original color cannot be seen, and it also emits a strange smell.

"Little white rabbit~ The big bad wolf is coming~" Long Gui raised his hands in front of his chest to frighten Ziluan, and when he got close to him, he found that Ziluan was staring at her with wide-open eyes, frightened Long Gui He took two steps back to stabilize his mind, watched Ziluan's back rise and fall regularly with his breathing, and felt a little relieved, and asked puzzledly: "Since you are awake, why didn't you say a word when you saw me coming? "

Ziluan hummed like a mosquito.

"What?" Long Gui leaned his head closer, until his face was on Ziluan's lips, and then he heard her say: "It hurts..."

Long Gui nodded and said, "I heard, you said you were too lazy to move!"

"I'll help you!" Long Gui pulled Ziluan's arm forcefully with his uninjured hand and turned her over. Soon, Ziluan let out a shrill cry.

The maid who was waiting at the door looked in the direction of the bedroom sympathetically, then stepped back to wait at the entrance of the yard.

Meigu, who was in the other bedroom, heard Ziluan's cry and sat up distressed, pushed Yan Qixia, and said, "Don't spoil the child..."

"It's okay." Yan Qixia also sat up, hugged Meigu in her arms and comforted her: "However, that girl Longgui is also experienced, and she has to go through this step if she wants to grow up."

In the bedroom, Ziluan was crying with tears all over her face: "Sister Long, don't do it! It hurts..."

"It's okay!" Long Gui kept his hands on his hands, "Is it the first time, it's over, you're so afraid of pain that you will keep hurting!"

Seeing that no one came to save her when she begged for mercy, Ziluan could only keep her mouth shut and cry non-stop.

Long Gui pressed Ziluan's arm with his hands and pinched and kneaded until the muscles gathered together were loosened, and then switched to the other arm until all the limbs were kneaded, and then explained: "The first day of practice, it is inevitable Muscles gather together and the pain is unbearable. Only by persisting will the pain stop and become stronger. But rubbing it will make you feel better, how do you feel now?"

Ziluan twitched and tried to raise her arm, and replied: "Well, it still hurts, but it's much better."

Long Gui smiled, and said dotingly: "If you feel bitter, forget it."

Ziluan looked down at her blood-bubbled hands and hesitated.

Long Gui didn't force her to answer right away, he brought the oil lamp closer, took out the gold needle and after the wick burned, he took Ziluan's hand to help her push away the blood bubbles.After breaking through one by one, he took the wound medicine that had been prepared on the table and applied it on.

The medicine powder fell on the wound like a fire, and Ziluan trembled in pain.

Longgui noodles did not change color, and said while applying the medicine: "It's okay, the uninjured skin is tender after all, it can't stand beatings, and the wounds gradually turn into hard calluses, don't be afraid, just like the human heart, young When you have not experienced wind and rain, you are always tender, and when others look down on you, you think it is a big thing, and later you see more life and death, and your heart hardens."

Zi Luan forced a smile, Long Gui suddenly thought of Concubine Ning Gui, couldn't help laughing and said: "There are also some strange people who don't think much of the death of their relatives, and they fainted from fright when they heard that an irrelevant person died. It’s been funny.”

"How could there be such a person?" Zi Luan wondered.

"Why not, Li Qianjia is, she is ashamed to say that she is pregnant, I feel ashamed for her."

"Who are you talking about?" Ziluan grabbed Long Gui with her backhand and asked eagerly.

"Ning Guifei Li Qianjia." Long Gui replied, carefully opened Zi Luan's fingers, and said anxiously: "Oh, don't grab me too hard, you will hurt very much!"

But Ziluan was dumbfounded, as if her soul had gone out of her body, and she returned to the time when Li's mother taught herself to write when she was a child.

"My name is Li Qianjia, just these few words, you have to remember~ Maybe I will use them in the future."

☆, scars

At that time, Li's mother held Ziluan's hand and wrote stroke by stroke, but Ziluan only wanted to climb the tree to catch cicadas for fun, and after a few random drawings, she dropped the pen and ran away.

How many times did Mama Li have to work hard for Ziluan to remember these three words?Ziluan doesn't know, Ziluan only knows that Li's mother's embrace is warm, Li's mother is always gentle, never blames, never curses, never complains, even if Ziluan is naughty, she sneaks out and runs madly until dark After returning home, she just patted her butt lightly, shed tears before scolding herself, and then took out the warm food, urging Ziluan to fill her stomach quickly.

Mama Li was never married and had no children. Maybe she hoped that Ziluan could remember her name. After her death, she would be sent to Yizhuang in a thin coffin. As long as the name was written correctly, no one would pay homage to her. But now, no one knows where her bones are. Her father, mother, and those innocent servants don’t know where their bones are scattered. , maybe only Ziluan still remembers them.

Thinking of these, Ziluan felt her eyes sour, but she didn't have a single tear.

Seeing that Ziluan was just in a daze, Long Gui eagerly grabbed her shoulder and shook her vigorously, and asked, "Hey! What's wrong with you?"

Zi Luan came back to her senses, forced a smile, and replied: "It's nothing, I just feel that life is impermanent, those who deserve to die don't die, and those who don't deserve to die don't live long."

Seeing Ziluan speak, Long Gui breathed a sigh of relief, "It's really evil, but an irrelevant person died, and everyone who spoke out was like the death of his own parents."

Looking up and seeing Ziluan's miserable face, he realized that he had said something wrong. He reached out and patted his head vigorously, cursing: "Look at my bad memory! I'm quick to talk, don't take it to heart."

Seeing that Zi Luan was still silent, Long Gui had no choice but to persuade: "No one can escape birth, old age, sickness and death... How about I find a master to save them?"

Ziluan shook her head, gritted her teeth and said, "Blood debt can only be paid with blood! Maybe the master can save their ghosts, but the master will never be able to appease the anger of me, a living person! I will use the blood of the enemy to pay homage to the deceased, even if the enemy is dead , I also want to pull his corpse out of the grave and whip it vigorously! Only in this way can the hatred in my heart be relieved."

Long Gui asked cautiously: "The enemies you mentioned are those people?"

Ziluan clenched her fists tightly, the overwhelming hatred made her unable to feel the tingling pain on her palms, "Of course the first one is that Lu Ba! However, he is just a knife, and I still need to find out who used this knife , when the time comes, I won’t let any one go.”

Long Gui laughed a few times, and said to himself: Do you still need to check?Killing a city lord and the whole house is such a big matter, if the emperor doesn't agree, who would dare to do it...

Long Gui secretly had a headache, while Ziluan was thinking about how to kill the enemy, the room became quiet for a while, only the wick of the oil lamp crackled slightly.

Seeing that there was no movement in the room, the maid waiting outside stepped forward to gently knock on the door and asked, "Princess, do you want to bring in the hot water?"

Seeing that he finally had something to do, Long Gui was overjoyed, and without asking Zi Luan, he responded repeatedly: "Quick! Quick! Hurry up and send it in!"

In a blink of an eye, the maids quickly arranged the big wooden barrel in the bedroom, filled it with warm water, sprinkled it with fresh rose petals, put the hot porridge and refreshments on the table one by one before leaving.

Long Gui looked at the large wooden barrel for two people, nodded in satisfaction, and stretched out his hand to pull Ziluan up, "Come on! A hot bath is the most effective for relieving sore muscles."

Originally, Ziluan's heart was struggling in the swamp of revenge, but in a flash of time, there was a luxurious bathtub in the room, the water temperature was suitable, the petals were fragrant, and there was a sister Long with bright eyes looking eagerly at her. looking at her.

"Uh...it's so late, do you still want to take a shower?" Ziluan hesitated, then raised her arms subconsciously to smell her clothes, "It's not too bad~"

"You can't do this, come, let me help you." Long Gui stretched out his hand to gently cover Ziluan's mouth and nose, then let go after a while, and said, "Would you like to hear it again?"

Ziluan sniffed it suspiciously again, almost got smoked, took off her coat and threw it to a far leeward place, and asked Long Gui in pain, "Did you smell it early in the morning?"

"It's okay." Long Gui said with a smile: "I often run back and forth as a messenger, and it's not uncommon for me to not change my clothes for a few days."

Sometimes there are bloodstains on the body and swarms of flies will be around, but Zi Luan doesn't need to know about these hardships.

"It's hard work!" Ziluan looked at Long Gui sympathetically, "No wonder your family's bathtub is so big, you must like to take a bath very much, right?"

Long Gui nodded and looked at Ziluan with a smile.

"Then go clubbing."

Long Gui was very happy when he got the permission, and immediately started to undress.

"Sister Long..." Ziluan called embarrassingly.

"Oh, I can't wait." Long Gui just turned around and took off his clothes, then jumped into the bathtub first, stretched his arms by the side of the bathtub, and let out a long and comfortable sigh.

"..." Ziluan lowered her head, pouted and said, "Since Sister Long likes it so much, please wash it first."

After finishing speaking, Ziluan turned around and went out, leaving Long Gui alone in the large bathtub to think about life.

Long Gui meditated for a while, and deduced that Ziluan would not come back to take a bath with him, so he slowly crawled out of the tub, wiped himself casually, put on his clothes, and opened the door for Ziluan to come in.

After Ziluan entered the door, she drank meat porridge first, and then began to eat refreshments non-stop, but she didn't intend to take a bath.

Long Gui waited on the side for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking: "Why didn't you take a bath with me? Did the scars on my body scare you?"

"Hmm..." Ziluan was in a hurry to speak, so she stretched her neck and swallowed the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in her mouth. After drinking a few mouthfuls of tea, she felt a big stone with sharp water chestnuts slowly slipping down into her stomach, so she shook her head and said : "Why, I didn't see the scars on your body
