Chapter 40 Chapter 40 You are the father of the truth!

Gu Xiaochun was stunned for a moment, just as he was surprised, Qingchuan threw himself into his arms, pressed his head against his chest and began to cry in a low voice.Hearing her suppressed choked sobs, Gu Xiaochun also felt a pang in his heart, for such a spirited and lively Qingchuan, it must be very difficult to live in this dreary but murderous Forbidden City. Gu Xiaochun didn't say anything, just put his arms around Qingchuan's shoulders lightly, and patted gently to comfort the weeping person.Unexpectedly, when I raised my eyes accidentally, I saw three people who looked like noble sons standing on the other side of the veranda, also looking at him.One of them was tall and tall, with a handsome face, the corners of his lips were turned up like a smile, but his eyes were cold and scary.

Gu Xiaochun was taken aback, and just wanted to remind Qingchuan in his arms, but the man turned around and turned towards another path, followed by the other two men in fancy clothes. Maybe it's a nobleman passing by, anyway, Qingchuan has been lying in his arms all the time, with only one back facing them, it may not be possible to be recognized, Gu Xiaochun thought secretly. Qing Chuan didn't know all of this, she lay in Gu Xiaochun's arms and cried for a while, only to feel that her heart, which had been depressed for a long time, was finally relieved a lot.She raised her head from Gu Xiaochun's arms, smiled with the corners of her mouth bent, and said with a fist: "Okay, it's okay, I can survive anywhere, no matter how tired or difficult, I can survive." In the past, do you believe it?"

Gu Xiaochun couldn't help smiling, nodded, opened his mouth and was about to speak, but suddenly there was a gurgling sound in his stomach. Qing Chuan was startled, then smiled and asked, "Are you hungry?" Gu Xiaochun readily admitted, and replied: "I came here early in the morning, and I haven't eaten anything yet!" Qingchuan smiled and said: "Then just wait, I still have the cakes that Empress Xi gave me in my room, they are very delicious, just wait here for me, I'll go get them to you." Gu Xiaochun felt that it was so easy to see Qingchuan once, and he didn't want to waste time on it, so he stopped him: "Forget it, no need."

Qingchuan turned around and took two steps, turned around and said with a smile: "It's okay, I live in Ganxi No. 4, it's not far from here, I'll be back in a while." She excitedly ran back to Ganxi No. 4, packed some snacks out of the room, and before she could go out, the little palace maid Ping'er who had gone to the dressing room with her just now ran in anxiously and shouted: "Qingchuan, it's bad, the little tailor who was with you just now was beaten!" Qingchuan was taken aback, and quickly asked: "Xiaochun? Who beat him? Well, why did he get beaten?"

Ping'er shook her head and said: "I don't know too well. When I passed by, I happened to see him being held down and beaten by some young eunuchs. They said that he ran into Eighth Brother and the others in the imperial garden." His grandma's is that guy from Eighth Age again!Qingchuan was angry and hated after hearing this, and hurriedly dropped the snacks in her hand and ran into the imperial garden.In that corridor, several young eunuchs were beating Gu Xiaochun with sticks, Qingchuan rushed forward and stopped him, shouting loudly: "Stop beating! Stop beating!"

Those little eunuchs were afraid of hurting Qingchuan by mistake, so they had to stop their hands, and one of them said to Qingchuan with a embarrassed face: "Miss Qingchuan, don't make things difficult for us, we are also following orders, if we don't fight, We are the ones to be punished." Qingchuan still stood in front of Gu Xiaochun and refused to leave, turned around and asked him in a low voice: "Why did you offend Eighth Brother?" Gu Xiaochun's nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and he felt very wronged, so he said: "I don't know, I just sat and waited for you, and they suddenly came up and beat me."

Qing Chuan frowned, turned back to the eunuch in charge and said, "Don't hit me, I'll go to Eighth Brother to argue." After finishing speaking, he turned his head and said to Gu Xiaochun in a low voice, "Go back to the Shangyi Room first, and don't come out these few days, so as not to be caught by them again." Gu Xiaochun grabbed Qingchuan's sleeve and refused to let go, he said anxiously: "No, don't take risks for me." Qing Chuan pulled his hand away, and comforted in a low voice: "It's okay, it's not because of you, but you are dragged down by me, you don't know, I have old grievances with that eighth elder brother before. "

When she said this, Gu Xiaochun became even more worried.Qing Chuan stood up, and said to the eunuchs: "I'm going to find Eighth Brother, you can let him go back to the clothes room first, anyway, he can't run away." The eunuchs looked at each other, thinking that what Qingchuan said was right, and they also didn't want to offend Qingchuan, so they nodded and let Gu Xiaochun leave.Qingchuan watched Gu Xiaochun return to the clothes room with three steps and three turns, and then he turned around and came to elder brother's place. In the yard, Brother Ba was sitting leisurely on a rocking chair under the shade of a tree, flipping through a book in his hand.He seemed to have guessed that Qingchuan would come, there was no surprise on his face, he just glanced at her indifferently, then turned his head to read the book again.

Qing Chuan forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, greeted him, and then asked: "Brother Ba, I don't know why Xiao Chun offended you, and called so many people to beat him." Brother Ba was lying on the rocking chair, his body was motionless, he just put down the book in his hand when he heard the words, looked up at Qingchuan with a chuckle, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you here to ask my teacher Xing?" Qing Chuan took a deep breath, and said calmly: "I don't dare, I just came to ask, he sat there properly, how could he bump into you, Brother Ba?"

The eighth elder brother laughed, and replied indifferently: "If you collide, you will collide. You are just a slave. Don't say you just beat him, even if you kill him with a stick, what does it matter?" Qingchuan was so angry that he almost couldn't hold back his anger, and said in a cold voice: "In your eyes, the slave's life is naturally nothing, but you have to care about your own reputation to some extent. I heard that the eighth elder brother is famous in the palace. You treat people generously, but you don’t know that there are times when you punish people without asking indiscriminately!”

Brother Eight narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Qingchuan, and asked lightly after a long while: "You like him? Otherwise, why would you stand up for him?" Qingchuan was taken aback by his question, and thought, where did you sing, what did you say, it's none of your business whether I like it or not, so she snorted coldly, and asked back: "Is it so?" Can you stand up for him only if you like it? I can't see him being punished innocently." The eighth elder brother sneered lightly, "There are so many things in the palace that you can't see, and you want to stand out in everything?" Not to be outdone, Qingchuan looked at him for a moment, and replied stubbornly: "People live not just for that bite of food and drink, it's fine if they don't see it, but since I see it, I can't pretend not to see it. If people in the world If you are all afraid of power and only care about protecting yourself, then sooner or later, when you are being bullied, no one will stand up and say a fair word." The eighth brother couldn't help being a little surprised when he heard that, he looked at Qingchuan for a long time and then smiled suddenly, nodded slightly and said: "Very good, very good." Qing Chuan only thought that he was moved by his own words, so he continued to plead loudly: "Eighth Brother, Xiaochun is honest and kind by nature, even if he accidentally bumped into you, it was completely unintentional, please forgive me Hold your hand high and let him go this time. This servant thanked you for him here." Unexpectedly, the eighth elder brother turned cold again when he heard this, and only gave a cold snort softly, without saying a word. Qingchuan was about to ask again, but he heard him ask unhurriedly: "Qingchuan, do you know why I beat Gu Xiaochun?" Why?Is it not that you are narrow-minded and take the opportunity to retaliate?But Qingchuan didn't dare to say these things, so he could only say in a low voice: "Because he accidentally bumped into you." Eighth Brother sneered slightly, and said: "You don't think so, Qingchuan, you didn't tell the truth, I want your truth." Qing Chuan gritted her teeth, and said: "Because I have offended Eighth Brother before, and Gu Xiaochun is my friend, so Eighth Brother beat him on purpose to avenge my slave." As soon as the truth was told, Qing Chuan immediately felt relieved, and only lowered his head to wait for the eighth elder brother's reaction.The eighth prince was silent for a long time, Qingchuan couldn't help but secretly raised his eyes and glanced over, and saw that his face was even more gloomy than before, and he said coldly: "Qingchuan, I really overestimated you, you are a real man! stupid woman!" Am I apologizing to you?Okay, why are you scolding people again?Qing Chuan looked up in astonishment, and looked at Eighth Brother in puzzlement. Eighth Brother snorted coldly, glanced at Qingchuan sullenly, and said, "You go back first, think about why I beat Gu Xiaochun!" Qingchuan was also worried that the eighth elder brother would still hit Xiaochun once she left, so she endured and endured, and asked carefully, "Then where is Xiaochun?" Brother Eight could no longer hide the anger in his heart, and said coldly: "Hit! Once you see him in the future, I will hit him once!" Qingchuan was also in a hurry. After talking in a low voice for a long time, he was still so unreasonable, and couldn't help but angrily said: "Aixinjue Luo Yinhu! Are you unreasonable?" As soon as she got angry, the eighth elder brother lost his anger, and leisurely rocked the rocking chair again, looked at Qingchuan and said, "You stayed in my dormitory for half the night and went out that day, and you still flirt with other men like this." What the fuck, where do you tell me to put my face? It’s still light to beat him, and next time, it won’t be as simple as being beaten.” After hearing this, Qingchuan couldn't help being stunned, staring blankly at the eighth elder brother who was unable to speak for a long time, and could only point to him and say: "You, you, you..." Eighth Prince laughed and asked back, "What's wrong with me?" Qing Chuan was so angry that her face was flushed, and she said angrily: "I was robbed by others when I came to your dormitory, and, even though I stayed in your dormitory for a while, we obviously didn't do anything!" The eighth elder brother raised his eyebrows pretending to be surprised: "But everyone doesn't think so, since you have come out of my bedroom, you are my woman, and you must take my face into consideration when you do things in the future!" Qingchuan was so angry that she was almost speechless, she just said "You are simply unreasonable!", turned around and left, never thinking that when she was about to walk out of the courtyard gate, she could hear the voice of the eighth elder brother in a leisurely manner It came lightly from behind: "If you miss me in the future, just come to Elder Brother's place to look for me. You don't have to find an excuse." Qingchuan was trembling with anger, and wanted to turn around and go back and spit at him in the face, but Xiaochun would definitely suffer again if he did so, so he forcibly held back the bad breath and didn't let it flare up again, only quickened his pace and walked outside run away.After walking out of elder brother's office, Qingchuan slowed down, supported the wall and panted heavily, and stepped on the ground vigorously while venting, cursing in a low voice: "Crazy, I don't know why, but you are still a man. If you were a woman, wouldn't I have to be responsible for you?" After cursing like this, Qing Chuan felt relieved, and thought of Gu Xiaochun again, intending to go to the clothes room to have a look at him, but she was a little afraid that Brother Ba would really do what he said, so she went to see Gu Xiaochun. On the contrary, Xiaochun will bring him trouble in the past.Qingchuan thought and thought, but gave up, turned around and went back to Chuxiu Palace to be on duty. Concubine Xi was not in Chuxiu Palace, the maid Ping'er said: "Your Majesty has changed into new clothes and went to the Imperial Garden." Qing Chuan was still a little unsure, just said "Oh", and sat in the side hall waiting, wondering if Xi Concubine could "encounter" Kangxi when he went to the Imperial Garden, and whether he could attract Kangxi's attention. Just as she was thinking like this, she heard a commotion outside, Xi Concubine came back angrily, followed by a few palace maids.Qing Chuan was startled, and hurriedly grabbed a maid behind her secretly, and carefully asked: "What's the matter? Why is your empress angry?" The little palace maid hurriedly explained in a low voice what had happened in the Imperial Garden. It turned out that Xi Concubine had put on new clothes and went to the Imperial Garden after dressing up. Kangxi attracted the past.Kangxi was a little surprised when she saw Xi Concubine dressed up, but when things were developing according to Xi Concubine's design, her new upper body clothes suddenly opened, revealing her fair shoulders. In modern times, this kind of behavior is at most a small oolong, but in the Qing Dynasty, it happened to the emperor's concubines again, so it has to rely on indecentness. Xi concubine was very embarrassed for a while, Kangxi saw it He even reprimanded, "As a concubine, how decent is it to be naked in public?" After finishing speaking, she walked away in a huff. Concubine Xi was shocked, angry and wronged, and brought a group of concubines back to Chuxiu Palace angrily. When Qing Chuan entered the room, the room was already packed with people kneeling on the ground, Xi Concubine was interrogating coldly with a pretty face.Qing Chuan didn't dare to make a sound, and quietly knelt down behind her, and then heard Xi Concubine say in a cold voice: "It was a good opportunity, but you slaves messed it up, saying, what the hell is going on with this dress?" ?”
