Contract Prince

Chapter 51

Under Shang Guanlan's treatment, Xiao Muxue's poisoning was brought under control.Although it was impossible to completely force out the toxin in her body, at least it slowed down the spread of the toxin.

On this day, Shangguan Lan took Xiao Muxue's pulse as usual.After checking the princess's pulse carefully, Shangguan Lan said: "Although the speed of the poison's spread has been temporarily controlled, this poison is extremely strange. If it stays in the princess's body for one minute longer, the princess will be more dangerous. Therefore, it is still necessary to Get the snow spirit grass as soon as possible, and get rid of this poison as soon as possible."

"Of course I know that Master is right." Gu Yunjing said sadly, "But this snow spirit grass will not be so easy to get for a while. Regardless of the long journey to Xiliang, the two countries are now at war, and the border is full of smoke. , it is very difficult for people from the Xiao Kingdom to sneak into the territory of Xiliang. This time, we can only pin our hopes on Yu Wenyan."

"Yu Wenyan?" Shangguan Lan has lived in seclusion in Wangyou Valley for a long time, and has not asked about world affairs for many years, so naturally he does not know the existence of such a person as Yu Wenyan.He asked, "Who is Yu Wenyan?"

Gu Yunjing said: "The Lord of Southern Chu, a man who adores the sixth princess." She said with a blank expression, no joy could be seen on her face.In fact, what Gu Yunjing hopes most is that he can get the snow spirit grass by himself, instead of relying on Yu Wenyan's help.

Gu Yunjing always felt that it was a bad taste in her heart. Her Royal Highness was seriously injured to save her.But in the end, it wasn't her who could save His Highness.A sense of frustration rose in the son-in-law's heart for no reason.

"So, he is still your rival in love." Shangguan Lan understood his apprentice's inner feelings very well, and he said slightly, "No wonder you look so bitter and bitter."

Looking at Xiao Muxue on the bed, Gu Yunjing sighed and said: "It's hard to talk about bitterness and hatred, I just feel uncomfortable and useless. I can neither protect the safety of Her Highness the Princess nor do my part to save her." .”

"Looking at your appearance these past few days, I think you seem to have changed a lot."

"Why did Master say that?" Gu Yunjing asked suspiciously.

"In the past, you were a high-spirited and confident person, but now you have a very bad habit of dreaming and sighing every now and then, didn't you notice?"

Gu Yunjing lowered her eyes and remained silent. After thinking about it carefully, what Master said was indeed correct.From morning to now, she has sighed no less than dozens of times.

Seeing Gu Yunjing's getting thinner and thinner, Shangguanlan both loved and complained: "Since I came to the Hou's mansion, you have been out of your mind, and you stay by the princess' bedside every day. If you don't feel sorry for yourself, I have to It hurts."

"Look at you now, you are as thin as a bamboo pole! It took years of hard work for your teacher to take care of your body. It seems that you are going to completely destroy yourself now?" Seeing that Gu Yunjing didn't treat his body as a The more Shangguan Lan thought about it, the more angry he became.In recent years, he has worked hard to cure Gu Yunjing's stubborn illness.

Gu Yunjing bowed his head and said: "Master calm down, this disciple knows he was wrong."

Shangguanlan shook his eyebrows, "I prescribed two medicines for your body, and asked Caiyue to boil them. If you haven't taken any of them today, don't call me master in the future."

"Master, don't worry, I will be obedient in the future and won't let your old man worry."

Shangguan Lan snorted: "This is the best."

Gu Yunjing said in a flattering tone: "Then, will Master stop being angry?"

"Whether you get angry or not depends on the mood of an old man like me." Shangguan Lan said, "Since we are here this time, today there are only us master and apprentice. There are some things that I have to say to you properly as a master."

Gu Yunjing cupped his hands, respectfully performed a teacher-student ceremony, and said very humbly: "Master, please speak, and the disciples will listen carefully."

"Yun Jing, let me ask you this, do you really like Princess Six?"

Gu Yunjing did not hide her inner thoughts, and said word by word: "Yes, Tuer likes her very much. I like her very much, I like her very much."

"As early as in the Valley of Worry, your teacher and I noticed it. The two of us have worried about you a lot because of this matter. Do you know what it will mean if your identity is discovered?"

"It will implicate the Hou Mansion and suffer unreasonable disasters."

"You lost your mother when you were young, you are weak and sick, and you have a secret identity that suppresses you. Although it looks calm on the surface, but the teacher knows that you have suffering in your heart, but you just hide it all the time, and don't let others know it easily. "

"If you have someone you like, I'm happy for you as a teacher. Although I, Shangguanlan, am a wild crane and a villager, my mind is not rigid. Whether it is a man or a woman, as long as you like it, my teacher will bless you." Speaking of this, Shangguan Lan shook his head, "But the sixth princess can't do it. Your father has already suffered from suspicion. If your identity is discovered, the Zhenyuan Hou Mansion will not be far from being destroyed."

Gu Yunjing called softly: "Master." In just one word, it contained indescribable helplessness and sadness.

Thoughts were flying around on the wedding night with Xiao Muxue, Gu Yunjing pursed her lips, and said: "In that night when the red candles were flickering, when we first met, I already fell in love with the princess, but I didn't like it at that time. Know your own mind."

"Even, for a long time, I couldn't see my heart clearly." Gu Yunjing laughed at her own hindsight, "I only know that the one thing I want to do most every day is to be with the princess. Your Highness stays together. Even if we look at each other silently, as long as I can see the princess, I will be happy."

"I'm a person who doesn't like political tactics, but because of Her Royal Highness, I made an exception to help her brother again and again, and put myself in the vortex of political struggles. Even if I don't like to go Doing it may make the princess happy, so I am happy to do it."

"Because I think that making her happy is the happiest thing for me. Her Royal Highness is a person who doesn't like to laugh. As long as I can make her smile, I will feel very fulfilled. This sense of accomplishment surpasses that of reading thousands of books. , traveling thousands of miles."

The young man's slender eyes showed a clear, untainted smile: "It is because of the princess that I feel a different life. Suddenly, I feel that the life of the previous 18 years was very monotonous, far less than this. More than half a month has been wonderful, and my heart is throbbing."

"Now that I think about it, I realize that my love for her is so deeply rooted that I can't extricate myself." Gu Yunjing was looking at Shangguanlan, and said seriously: "Master, my feelings for the princess are not just liking, but love." .It’s the love that can’t be eliminated, the brow is lowered but the heart is in the heart.”

Listening to Gu Yunjing's words, Shangguan Lan seemed to have returned to the time when he and Yu Qingyou knew each other and fell in love. The taste of love is always unforgettable.Shangguan Lan, who fell in love at that time, is exactly the same as Gu Yunjing's performance now.

"I'm a teacher who has been here before, so I understand what you said. I always thought you were a pure-hearted person who didn't listen to things outside the window, and only read sage books. I didn't expect that you would love the princess." So deep."

Shangguan Lan and Gu Yunjing have been masters and apprentices for decades, and this is the first time he has seen his disciples look so affectionate.Shangguan Lan pondered slightly: "Yun Jing, you are so obsessed with the princess. I'm afraid it's impossible for you not to like her. I'll ask you again as a teacher, does the princess have you in her heart?"

Gu Yunjing's eyes hesitated, and after thinking about it, she still said uncertainly: "I don't know. Sometimes I feel that she is very kind to me, and sometimes I feel that she is very indifferent to me. I can easily spy on other people's minds, But I still can't guess what Her Royal Highness is thinking."

"On the night of the assassination, Her Royal Highness said that she liked me. I was very happy when I heard it." Gu Yunjing shook her head lightly, "Joy is joy, but I really don't know if it is true or not. Because at that time , she said it under special circumstances."

Shangguanlan and his wife live a life of glue and glue every day, Gu Yunjing is a fledgling in the world, so naturally she can't compare with her master.The old man said: "Based on my experience of seeing people, and my experience of people who have been here, the sixth princess probably also likes you."

Gu Yunjing's expression was soaring, and he felt as if he was stepping on a cloud, and he was so happy that he was about to float.He hurriedly asked: "Master, what you said is true? Did you lie to me?"

"Look how happy you are. If your master didn't have the ability to judge people, he would have spent so many years in vain. Why, don't you believe it?"

Gu Yunjing firmly believed in her master's eyesight, she nodded and said with a smile: "I believe, of course I believe, the master has always had a sharp eye and has insight into everything."

"Is this the truth, or flattery?"

"It's absolutely true, it's truer than gold."

When the son-in-law heard that the princess liked her, he immediately felt better. The gloomy feelings of the past few days were swept away, and his heart seemed to be cleared of heavy clouds.This meeting also learned to joke with Shangguanlan.

The apprentice's praise seemed to be very useful to Shangguanlan, he said with a smile: "This is what the teacher loves to hear."

"Master, how did you find out?" Gu Yunjing approached and asked curiously.

"As a teacher, I can see that the sixth princess is a woman with a cold personality. Logically speaking, she should be lukewarm in dealing with people. According to my observation, she really cares about you. During the few days in Wangyou Valley, When she sees Xi Ruo getting close to you, she always looks preoccupied."

Gu Yunjing suddenly felt enlightened, and she was overjoyed and said: "Master is right, no wonder I thought Her Royal Highness behaved a bit weird at that time. She and I mentioned the terms of the contract again, and it was mostly amicable." If it's about my sister."

"According to my teacher, it may not be a good thing for Her Royal Highness to like you." Shangguanlan finally expressed his inner worries, "She likes you, so she will naturally find ways to get in touch with you more, which means that the chances of your identity being exposed are greatly increased. .”

"Looking at how obsessed you are, it won't be long before you can't control yourself and take the initiative to contact the princess. Love comes from the heart, and the sage can't control feelings." Shangguan Lan said earnestly, "Yun Jing , besides love, there are more important things in life, and that is responsibility and responsibility.”

"You are the son of Marquis Zhenyuan, and everything you do must be considered for the family. Have you ever thought that one day, after Her Royal Highness knows your identity, how will she face this relationship? She loves the son of Marquis Zhenyuan, But you are a woman after all."
