Chapter 44 Chapter 44 Rumors at 1,000 decibels

Gu Xiaochun hurriedly stretched out his fingers to make a silent gesture around his mouth, pulled Qingchuan and ran outside in a hurry.As soon as he was about to leave the courtyard, he saw a few eunuchs coming from the other side of the corridor. Qingchuan was so frightened that he dragged Gu Xiaochun to dodge and hide behind the courtyard gate. After the eunuchs walked over, he asked Gu Xiaochun in a low voice : "Why are you wearing eunuch's clothes?" Gu Xiaochun looked nervous, but his tone was extremely firm, and he replied: "This is really not a place for people to stay. If you stay here, something will happen. I decided to take you away."

Qing Chuan opened her eyes wide in astonishment: "Take me away?" Gu Xiaochun nodded heavily, and without saying a word, he pulled Qingchuan and walked out, avoiding people as much as possible along the way, and pulled Qingchuan behind the wall near the gate of the palace.At this time, Qingchuan recovered from the shock and panic, and said anxiously: "Xiaochun, you are crazy, this is the palace, not the vegetable market, how could you take me out just as you said?" However, Gu Xiaochun said confidently: "Don't worry about this, I know that every evening in the palace there will be water trucks going out from the Shenwu Gate, and then go to Yuquan Mountain to transport water. At that time, we will put you in the interlayer of the bucket, and you will be free when you leave the palace."

But Qingchuan still couldn't believe it, so she could sneak out of the palace? Seeing Qingchuan's hesitant expression, Gu Xiaochun hastily assured him: "Qingchuan, you believe me, even if I die, I will protect you." Qing Chuan was moved when he heard this, hesitated for a while, and finally decided to take a risk: "Okay! I'll go out with you!" After a while, I saw some eunuchs pulling waterwheels coming from a distance. When they passed by the wall, they made a detour and stopped behind the wall.The eunuch who carried the water winked at Gu Xiaochun, Gu Xiaochun hurriedly pulled Qingchuan to the side of the car, opened the lid of one of the buckets, and said to Qingchuan: "You should be wronged first, it will be fine soon. "

I don't know if it's because of nervousness or fear, Qingchuan only felt that his head was a little more dizzy, and it took a lot of effort to step one foot into the bucket. Before he could step on the other leg, he suddenly heard a voice urgently calling Said: "Qingchuan, absolutely not!" Qingchuan was stunned for a moment, then turned her head to look over, and saw Suyan chasing up from behind very anxiously, stepped forward and pulled her off the car, and said anxiously: "Qingchuan, are you crazy? You were found by the guards, It is to beheaded!" Qing Chuan wondered: "Su Yan, why are you here?"

Su Yan pulled Qing Chuan a few steps away from the waterwheel, and said in a low voice: "Just now when you went out ahead, I saw Wan Yue follow you out, and I was surprised, so I also followed you secretly, and have been chasing you all the way to here I don't know who Wanyue reported to, I'm afraid someone will come to investigate in a while. Qingchuan, let's go back quickly, and then we will die and refuse to admit it!" Qing Chuan was startled and frightened when she heard this, fortunately Su Yan came to report the news, otherwise she would just hide in the bucket like this, and she would have to be found out by the guards, then both she and Gu Xiaochun would have to die!Qingchuan broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly turned around and said to Gu Xiaochun: "Xiaochun, I understand what you mean to me, thank you for your kindness, but we can't take such a risk, I have to go back to Ganxi No. Way to hide for a while."

Su Yan pulled Qing Chuan anxiously from the side, "Let's go, it will be too late!" Qing Chuan didn't have time to say more, so he had to follow Su Yan to the fourth Ganxi Institute.As soon as the person entered the courtyard, he suddenly felt the world spinning, his legs gave way and he sat down on the ground.Su Yan was startled by her, quickly squatted down to support her, and asked, "What's wrong with you?" Qingchuan didn't know what was wrong with her, she just felt dizzy, her whole body started to hurt, and she moaned, "I feel bad, my head hurts."

Su Yan quickly stretched out his hand to try her forehead, but withdrew his hand in fright, and said in surprise: "Oh my god, it's scalding to death, how could this happen?" Qingchuan's sanity was a little blurry, she couldn't even hear Su Yan's words clearly, she could only vaguely see her mouth opening and closing, and then her eyes went dark, and she didn't know anything.In a daze, she seemed to hear Su Yan's crying, telling her not to sleep, don't sleep.But she was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyelids. I don't know how long it took, as if someone picked her up from the ground. The embrace was generous and warm, making her want to snuggle involuntarily...

When Qingchuan opened his eyes again, it was already late at night, the lights on the candlesticks were dancing gently with the wind, and the dim light reflected the figure lying beside the bed a little blurry. Qingchuan couldn't believe it, she rubbed her eyes subconsciously, and opened them again, the person in front of her was still there, not a phantom! The person next to the bed was awakened by her slight movements, looked up at Qingchuan, paused for a moment, and then asked in a hoarse voice: "Are you awake? Do you want a drink?" Qing Chuan was still staring in shock, and it took him a long time to speak: "Eight, eighth brother!?"

The eighth elder brother didn't answer, just stretched out his hand to touch Qingchuan's forehead.Qing Chuan was startled, and subconsciously turned her head to the side to avoid it, and Eighth Brother's hand fell into the empty space.His eyes dimmed, but he stretched out his hand stubbornly, finally touched Qingchuan's forehead lightly, and then withdrew his hand. Qing Chuan was full of question marks, why did this person appear in front of her bed?She quickly turned her head and looked around, yes, it was her own room.Then why did an elder brother appear in Ganxi No. 4 Institute?In a court lady's room?

The eighth elder brother seemed to see Qingchuan's thoughts, and the corners of his lips twitched mockingly, stood up from the bed, and said: "You have a high fever, and that court lady named Su Yan begged me. Even if you served me at bedtime, I couldn't just watch you die, so I called the imperial doctor over, and now that you're fine, it's your own fate." Qing Chuan still reacted in a daze, and said angrily after a while: "Where did I sleep with you?!" Eighth Prince raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you still want to argue about this issue?"

The two were staring at each other like cockfights, when there was a light knock on the door, Su Yan's voice came from outside: "Brother Ba, Qingchuan's medicine is ready." The expression on Brother Ba's face changed, and he returned to his usual gentlemanly appearance, and said in a gentle voice, "Come in." Su Yan came in from the door with a medicine bowl, and bowed his head to say hello to Eighth Brother.Eighth Brother said: "I'll go first, you take care of Qingchuan, I will greet you at the Tai Hospital." After speaking, he glanced at Qingchuan with a smile on his lips, turned his head and left the room.Qing Chuan was as uncomfortable as he was covered in long hairs from his gaze. Seeing that Brother Ba had gone out, Su Yan rushed to the bed and asked in a loud voice: "Qing Chuan, how do you feel now? Is it that uncomfortable? Do you want to eat something?" Su Yan's eye circles were still a little red, obviously she had just cried, and her concern for her was beyond words, Qing Chuan was very moved when she saw it, she shook her head with a smile, and replied: "It's okay, I feel much better now, By the way, why is Eighth Brother here?" Su Yan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, and while feeding Qingchuan the soup, he explained: "You suddenly developed a high fever yesterday, and you couldn't get it back, and then you started talking nonsense. I was terrified and ran away." I went to the imperial doctor, but they heard that they were just maids of honor, no matter how much I begged, they refused to come and see, so I ran to the study to ask the fourth elder brother for help..." "Fourth elder brother?" Qingchuan was a little surprised, "Are you going to ask fourth elder brother for help?" Su Yan's complexion changed slightly, he quickly lowered his eyes, fed Qingchuan a tablespoon of medicine, and then continued: "Oh, I was also in a panic at the time, remembering that I heard people in the palace say that the fourth elder brother is kind, so I just wanted to try my luck. In the end, I couldn’t find the fourth elder brother, but I met the eighth elder brother. He heard that you were sick, so he asked someone to invite the imperial doctor.” Qing Chuan was very surprised when he heard this, and couldn't help being stunned for a moment, unexpectedly, this time it was her deadly enemy, Eighth Brother, who saved her life. The concubine Xi in Chuxiu Palace was also surprised, "What? Eighth elder brother specially hired an imperial physician for Qingchuan?" Nanny Jin lowered her head and narrowed her eyes, and replied: "Returning to the mother, not only did I invite the imperial physician, but the eighth elder brother personally guarded Qingchuan at the Qianxi No. 4 Office for most of the night, and waited until she woke up before leaving." A look of surprise flashed across Concubine Xi's face, and she asked, "When did Qingchuan get involved with Eighth Brother?" With an imperceptible sneer on the corner of Nanny Jin's mouth, she replied: "I heard that there has been a secret relationship for a long time. Earlier, Qingchuan and Gu Xiaochun, who made clothes in the monk's clothing room, were involved together. Eighth brother heard that he was jealous. Dafa, and even sent someone to beat Gu Xiaochun severely. Everyone said that Qingchuan had gotten lucky, and won the favor of the eighth elder brother, and would fly to the branches sooner or later." After hearing these things, Concubine Xi stopped talking, and just stroked the long armor lightly with her hands. After thinking for a moment, she suddenly smiled, "I never thought that Lao Ba would do such a thing. It seems that this Qingchuan is really interesting. Mother Jin, go and bring Qingchuan to Chuxiu Palace, and then invite all the best imperial physicians to treat her. I want to serve her like a princess." Nanny Jin originally wanted to make a show without showing any traces, but she had such a result, she couldn't help being stunned: "Huh?" "Go, go. Do you want me to order you a second time?" Xi Concubine said impatiently. Grandma Jin didn't dare to delay any longer, she hurried to Qianxi No. 4 Office, and called a few court ladies to help Qingchuan move.So, before Qingchuan figured out what was going on, he was helped to Chuxiu Palace and lived in a wing room in the backyard. When Concubine Xi came to visit in person, Qingchuan was so frightened that she quickly got up from the bed to salute, but Concubine Xi pushed her down, and said softly, "You are still weak, lie down quickly, don't get up." It was rare for Qingchuan to see such an amiable concubine Xi, and she always suspected that she had a fever again and had a phantom.But the concubine Xi who was beside her turned her head and told Nanny Jin, "These days Qingchuan's food is prepared by the small kitchen of Chuxiu Palace, we must take care of her health as soon as possible." Qingchuan was overwhelmed by flattery, and hurriedly declined: "No, no." Concubine Xi smiled, "You are my confidant maid, you are different from others, you will be raised here these days, and you can tell me directly if you need anything." After finishing speaking, he comforted Qingchuan a few more words, and then took Jinmao out.Nanny Jin followed behind Xi Concubine, and after some hesitation, she still asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, isn't it too much to spoil Qingchuan like this?" "Oh?" Xi Concubine smiled, brushed her hand lightly across the pillars of the veranda, and said softly, "But, not at all. Where are the pair of pearl earrings that the emperor gave me on my birthday last year?" "Your Majesty is reluctant to wear it, the slave has already been put into the box." "Find it quickly, I want to give it to Qingchuan as a present." Jin Momo was even more surprised when she heard it, and couldn't help asking: "Ah? Why?" That pair of earrings was Kangxi's birthday gift to Xi Concubine, Xi Concubine has always valued it very much, and she was reluctant to wear it, why would she suddenly give it to Qing Chuan now? Xi Concubine turned her head and glanced at her lightly, then asked with a smile, "You have stayed in the palace for so many years, can't you figure out why?" Nanny Jin pondered for a while, then asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, is it because of Eighth Brother?" Concubine Xi nodded with satisfaction, and replied: "Yes, it is precisely because of the eighth elder brother that I have no children now, and the eighth elder brother's biological mother, Concubine Liang, has been imprisoned in the cold palace all year round. It’s a great thing to have the best of both worlds.” After hearing this, Nanny Jin immediately praised: "Your Majesty is smart! Besides, Qingchuan's background is unknown, and if it is found out, it will definitely be a capital crime. As long as we hold this handle well, the more Eighth Brother cares about her, the closer he will be to us. " Concubine Xi smiled triumphantly, and asked, "Do you still think it's not worth giving Qingchuan that pair of earrings?" Nanny Jin shook her head again and again, "Your Majesty is wise, I will look for you now, I will look for you now." In the elder brother's office, the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother also found the eighth elder brother's place. The old ten couldn't hide his words in his heart, so he met him and asked straightforwardly: "Myna, have you gone to the Ganxi No. 4 office?" Brother Ba had just changed into dry clothes and sat down in the chair. Hearing this, he nodded and replied very normally: "That's right, we're going." Brother Nine and Brother Ten couldn't hide their astonishment on their faces, and the old ten even asked in a low voice: "Do you really like that girl Qingchuan?" Brother Eight looked up at Brother Ten, and asked back, "What's wrong?"
