Chapter 5

Although Gu Qingquan inquired about a lot of secrets in the palace, he never had any in-depth contact with anyone. He was just the one who listened and never expressed any opinions, so during this period of time Gu Qingquan almost thought that he had become dumb.

He also invented another way of survival, which is "dodge". As long as he sees people of higher rank than himself or other unidentified people tending to approach from a distance, he will not obviously dodge. Hide as far away as possible.This ostrich policy also allowed him to spend more than a month safely.

Even so, Gu Qingquan also found a little bit of fun in this deep palace, that is the flowers and plants here.He found that many of the flowers and plants here had medicinal properties, and many of them were rare species. Living in a small mountain village, had he ever seen so many precious medicinal materials?He opened a small garden in a very remote place in the harem, planted the medicines he collected along the way, and transplanted many species in the palace;

Tonight, he went to his beloved mysterious little garden to weed again. Watching those herbs grow up day by day, he was imagining that if he could escape one day, he would definitely take these rare herbs with him.Thinking about it, the more I think about it, the happier I am, I don't even know if someone is approaching.

"What are you doing?" A low, magnetic male voice suddenly sounded from behind.

"Wow──" Gu Qingquan yelled in fright, and even threw the tools in his hand away.

Gu Qingquan turned his head and saw a man in guard uniform holding a pot and a cup, looking at him with a smile.The man was tall and tall, with a graceful bearing and an extraordinary temperament; when he smiled, there were two dimples on his face, and a pair of phoenix eyes and sword eyebrows, making his eyes sharp.The man was handsome, with a straight nose and thin lips that seemed to love to smile.

"My lord, please forgive me." Gu Qingquan knew from his clothes that this person must be of high status. With a "poof", he immediately knelt down and lowered his head to beg for mercy. Although he didn't know if he was at fault, begging for mercy was always right.

"What did you do wrong?" The guard asked with a smile of unknown meaning.

"I don't know." Gu Qingquan's whole body was shaking so badly that he didn't dare to lift his head.Gu Qingquan was not a tough guy with strong bones, he was a cowardly ordinary commoner, he was kind, and he would take risks to save people, but that doesn't mean he wasn't afraid of things.

"If you don't know, why beg for mercy?"

"..." Gu Qingquan really didn't know how to answer.

"Look up and let me see you."

Gu Qingquan raised his head slowly, met with a pair of sharp but playful eyes, Gu Qingquan was so frightened that tears glistened, he wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry, the tears rolling in his eyes looked even more pitiful.

The guard couldn't help being stunned when he saw the pair of clear and watery eyes. Those eyes shocked him so much that he felt like an electric shock for a moment.Those were a pair of talking eyes, and those sparkling pupils were looking at him pitifully.It's a pity, it's a pity that such star-like bright eyes grow on an ordinary face, no, it is a face that can be described as ugly.

After regaining his senses, the guard walked under a big tree and began to drink by himself; after taking a sip of wine, he said leisurely, "What's your name?"

"The slave's name is Koizumi."

"Hmm. You tell... me, what are you doing?" The word "望" that I almost said was blurred; the person who came was our great emperor Yuan Wenlie.

"My lord, the servant is planting flowers."

"I remember that this place used to be a wasteland overgrown with weeds. You took care of this garden?"

"Returning to my lord, this servant is responsible for the flowers and plants in the palace and cleaning the fallen leaves. I have loved flowers and plants since I was a child, so I will cultivate this place privately. Please forgive me."
