Chapter 202 (Discovered)
"Really you? My queen is back?" The emperor was suddenly excited.
Gu Chaochao instantly calmed down, leaving Shen Mushen's embrace and knelt down: "The slaves are just people serving in the palm print room, and even if they have the courage, they would not dare to pretend to be the empress.
" She knew it well, but no one would take it to the table and say it, Gu Chaochao was the same, but even though she didn't mention the right food, just one sentence 'the person who served in the palm print room' could let everyone know that she was Shen Mu. deep antagonism.
The emperor is the honor of the ninety-five above ten thousand people. The absurd may occupy the wife of a minister, but he will not be a woman who is used by the eunuch, just like ordinary wealthy people who occasionally want to eat porridge and side dishes, but will never go there. Eat the sour rice in the beggar's bowl.
So the emperor listened to her words, turned black and left in an instant.
Gu Chaochao looked at Shen Mushen worriedly, Shen Mushen was expressionless, he directly picked her up and walked towards Sili Jian in front of everyone. Gu Chaochao moved uneasily, but in exchange he held him tighter.
In desperation, Gu Chaochao had to remind: "...I hurt my hand."
Shen Mu turned a deaf ear, but instead quickened his pace. Gu Chaochao had no choice but to settle down.
When he returned to the Sili Jian, he had already invited the imperial physician in a smart way. Gu Chaochao sat down beside the bed, and saw the cotton cloth and liquor in the imperial physician's hands shrinking for a moment.
Shen Mushen sat down beside her and took her head into his arms: "Don't look at it."
"...Actually, I don't think it's fine without bandaging." Gu Chaochao trembled and didn't dare to look.
Shen Mu patted her back soothingly: "It will be fine soon, it won't hurt if you don't look at it."
Gu Chaochao twitched the corner of his mouth, just as he was about to say how it was possible, a piercing pain came from his palm.
"Hmm..." This was much more painful than the moment he rushed out to block the knife. Gu Chaochao couldn't help groaning, and his back couldn't stop shaking.
Shen Mu's heart ached when he heard it, the hand that patted her back suddenly stiffened, and veins burst out on the back of the hand.
"Just be patient, it will be fine soon." His voice was hoarse, as if he was the one who was hurt.
Gu Chao whimpered like a small beast, biting his clothes to endure the pain. Shen Mu held her expressionlessly, and didn't say a word, but the imperial physician and the people serving on the side broke out in a cold sweat, and acted more and more carefully. When the wound is properly treated, not only Gu Chaochao looks like he was just fished out of the water, but everyone else is no exception.
Gu Chaochao lay weakly on Shen Mushen's shoulder, struggling to even stand up straight, but he still had time to comfort him: "Fortunately, the wound is not deep, no need for stitches, and it will probably recover soon."
Shen Mushen laid her flat on the bed, pulled the quilt to cover her, and then looked into her eyes: "Who prepared the palace for you, and who let you out."
This is to settle accounts . . Gu Chaochao's heart froze for a while, but his face did not show any sign: "I insisted on following you secretly, you are not allowed to punish anyone."
Shen Mushen: "So you went out early in the morning, and the Fa meeting was there." He Always use declarative sentences.
"...Don't change the subject, promise me, don't punish anyone." Gu Chaochao was not led away by him.
Shen Mu looked at her expressionlessly.
Gu Chaochao was heartbroken by his cold eyes, opened his mouth but said nothing.
After a long time, she sighed and gently tugged at his sleeve with her intact hand: "Mushen, don't be angry, I'm not doing well, it's fortunate that I went, otherwise the knife stabbed, Even if you don't die, you have to go to Half-Life."
"I'd rather die than myself." His eyes were extremely cold, obviously he hadn't calmed down from the accident just now.
Gu Chaochao flattered: "Pah, pah, don't talk nonsense, who will protect me when you die? Besides, I have a sense of proportion. I didn't see that I didn't push you when I rushed forward, but I pushed the knife first."
"Your sense is Appearing in front of the emperor rashly?" After changing the usual time, Shen Mu gave in early, but today he has been holding on to it.
Gu Chaochao still didn't realize that he was wrong, but he was still angry when he saw him, so he could only beg for mercy: "I promise, in the future, I will never be as impulsive as today."
Shen Mushen didn't say anything.
Gu Chaochao's eyes moved, and he suddenly cried out in pain.
Shen Mushen really couldn't sit still, and immediately leaned forward nervously: "What's wrong?"
"Maybe it's the wound, it hurts." She pretended.
After having known each other for so many years, how could Shen Mushen not see that she was pretending, but she still felt distressed: "It hurts so deeply, naturally it will hurt."
"How can you have the deep knife you blocked for me back then." Gu Chaochao smiled.
She gave in again and again, and Shen Mushen was no longer able to attack, and after a long stretch, he sighed: "That's it."
This is not to be pursued. Gu Chaochao's smile became more and more sincere, in order to prevent him from getting sick, she also deliberately revealed some other information to make him happy: "Mushen, this is the last time I leak the secret, and this ability will no longer be available in the future. That’s it.”
The plot before the rebirth is all that’s needed, and after avoiding the assassination that led to the rebirth, it is a brand new future that the author has not written.
"Really?" Shen Mu looked at her deeply, as if to identify the truth in her words.
Gu Chaochao nodded earnestly: "Yeah."
Shen Mu felt better after hearing the only good news today.
Gu Chaochao looked at him and felt amused for a while: "Without this ability, I won't be able to help you in the future, are you still happy?"
Shen Mu gave her a sidelong glance, got up, locked the door, and opened the door after cleaning up. Lie down on the bed beside the floor.
In the darkness, Gu Chaochao quietly looked at the bed curtain, and took a long time to ask: "Mushen, I already told the emperor today that I am your counterpart, so he shouldn't hit me again, right?
" Emperor, why would you give the eunuch the idea of eating each other?" Shen Mu comforted in a low voice.
As soon as the two asked and answered, they stopped talking, but their hearts did not settle down.
One of them has been the lord of the harem for a long time, and the other has been reviewing memorials since he was thirteen years old.
Early the next morning, Shen Mushen was summoned by the emperor.
In the imperial study room, the emperor slumped his eyes to look at the book. Shen Mushen came and knelt down and said, "See the emperor." The
emperor turned a deaf ear and let him kneel on the ground. , but the back is straight.
The incense burner in the study was lit with a strong Zen incense, but it still could not hide the bitter taste leached from the soup in the house. The emperor felt tired after sitting for a while, and could only continue reading the memorials by leaning on the soft couch.
After a long time, a little eunuch trotted into the house: "Your Majesty, Lord Li asks to see you."
"Let him come in." The Emperor didn't lift his head, and didn't mention the words to ask Shen Mushen to get up.
The little eunuch gave Shen Mushen a worried look, and seeing that he didn't respond, he had to turn around and go out to spread the word.
After a short while, an official came in and was surprised to see Shen Mushen kneeling on the ground behind him, and quickly gathered his mind to discuss state affairs with the emperor.
During the morning, people kept coming in and out. Shen Mushen was always kneeling on the ground, grinding his knees with hard floor tiles. At first, it was just a needle-like pain, and gradually it became a piercing pain. .
It wasn't until noon that there was no third person in the study room, and the emperor looked at him: "I don't know, you are so talented."
"The servant doesn't know what the emperor is talking about." Shen Mu lowered his eyes.
"I don't know?" The emperor laughed angrily, "Your pair of food looks exactly the same as the first queen, how dare you say you don't know?"
"The servant only served the first queen for a few months, and then came to serve the emperor, and now The first queen has been gone for many years, and the servant does not know that they look exactly the same," Shen Mushen paused for a moment after speaking, then looked up at him, "Besides, when the servant knew the first queen, the first queen was over forty, and the servant had never met her. Her appearance when she was young, I don't know how she is similar to the slaves."
He answered reasonable, the emperor was persuaded a little, but still sneered: "For the time being, she was born so beautiful, you Instead of giving it to me, I will keep it for myself, what is the purpose of it? Don't forget, whose harem belongs to me!"
Shen Mu was silent, and a trace of disgust flashed in his lowered eyes.
Seeing that he didn't speak, the emperor thought that he had questioned him, and immediately felt a little complacent in his heart. In addition, after sitting in the imperial study all morning, he had already exhausted his energy, and gradually he began to speak more slowly.
"I think you're the first offender, and I'll spare you this time," he said calmly, "but she is so similar to the queen, I can't let her be you again, two days you Then let the wind go out, and say that she is not yours, just staying at your place temporarily according to my instructions, understand?"
As for what will happen after the explanation, he did not say any more.
Shen Mushen knelt quietly for a long time, and said, "Yes." The
emperor glanced at him with disdain in his eyes: "Okay, I don't need you to serve me here, go back."
"Yes."
Shen Mushen stood up in response, The moment he moved, a pair of knees suddenly felt severe pain, a layer of fine sweat quickly formed on his forehead, and his eyes were also black. However, he just staggered, then turned steadily and left.
He never left, and stayed in the imperial study for more than two hours. Gu Chaochao also waited for more than two hours at the supervisor of li. When he saw him coming back from outside, he rushed up to greet him: "Mushen, are you all right?"
"What can I do?" With a smile on Shen Mushen's lips, he lowered his head to look at the gauze in her hand, "It's very clean, it seems to be well maintained.
" You didn't do anything," Gu Chaochao said, hurriedly followed him back to his room, and locked the door as soon as he entered, "Is the emperor embarrassing you?"
"No." Shen Mushen replied.
Gu Chaochao didn't believe it: "He's not the kind of generous person, tell me quickly, what is he going to do with us?"
Shen Mushen looked at her anxious look, and then raised his lips after a moment of silence: "You can recuperate in peace, I'll take care of this matter. will take care of itself.”
"You hide everything from me, how can I feel at ease and recover from my illness? It's better to tell me everything." Gu Chaochao frowned. Seeing that he was silent, he pulled his sleeve with his uninjured hand, but it was too close to him. , accidentally touched his leg, and the next moment he heard a muffled groan overflowing from his throat.
Gu Chaochao was instantly alert: "Where are you injured?"
"No injuries." Shen Mu didn't change his face.
"Still lying!" Gu Chaochao was about to pull his robe.
Shen Mushen stood on the spot, and it was difficult to even retreat, so he could only reach out to stop her, and he had to be careful not to touch her hand. After several consecutive times, he had to compromise: "My knee hurts."
Gu Chaochao gave up.
A quarter of an hour later, Shen Mu sat on the bed after a long absence, with his robe unbuttoned and his trousers taken off. Only a quilt covered key parts, revealing a pair of purplish red and swollen knees. Because he had been kneeling on the brick floor for too long, blood splattered directly from part of his knee, which looked shocking.
Gu Chaochao made mental preparations early, but after seeing his knee, he still took a deep breath: "This bastard."
Shen Mushen looked at her angry expression, and the pain in her knee seemed to have eased a lot.
"A little injury will heal in a few days." He comforted in a low voice.
Gu Chao's eyes were red with vigor, and he didn't say a word, just lowered his head to apply medicine for him. Shen Mushen looked at her trembling eyelashes and the slightly messy hair on the temples. After moving her fingers, she couldn't help but lift it up to help her pin the hair behind her ears.
This action was too ambiguous. After he finished it, he woke up like a dream, and his whole body suddenly became tense. Just when he was about to say sorry, Gu Chaochao suddenly raised his head and glanced at him: "Don't move."
"...Well."
After applying the medicine, Shen Mushen lay down and rested under Gu Chaochao's order. He wanted to get his own floor, but was forced to give up by her look, so he could only lie on the bed obediently.
In just one night, the identities of the two seemed to be switched. Shen Mushen only found it interesting, but did not dare to laugh in front of her.
He has already told Gu Chaochao everything about what happened in the imperial study today, and Gu Chaochao frowned upon hearing it: "What can I do now, he wants you to go out to refute the rumors and eat each other, obviously he wants to bring me into the palace later.
" I won't let him succeed." Shen Mu comforted deeply.
But Gu Chaochao didn't hold out hope: "He's just giving him a slap right now, and you're hurt like this. If you don't agree, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult in the future."
At this moment, she suddenly regretted what she had rashly done yesterday. In this way, she should make herself ugly, so as not to be favored by him.
Shen Mu could see what she was thinking at a glance, and the corners of her lips raised involuntarily: "You are my person, you can't hide for a while, but he will see you sooner or later."
This sentence 'You are my person' said It was very natural, but after speaking, he couldn't help but look at her, wondering how she would react, but unfortunately Gu Chaochao was thinking about other things and didn't care about this sentence, Shen Mushen pursed his lips lightly.
"By that time, he will be confused and won't be tempted anymore." Gu Chaochao mentioned him with a look of dismay, thinking why he was always thinking about these wretched old men. In the first world, he was the father of the male protagonist. Now it's the old emperor again.
Shen Mu saw that she was still worried, and spoke a few words of comfort. However, Gu Chaochao was always absent-minded. He didn't read the cake if he didn't eat it. He was always sticking to his side. No matter what he did, he felt uneasy.
Shen Mushen originally thought that she would get better in a while, but she continued to do so until dinner. Seeing that she hadn't eaten two bites of rice, she began to stare at the bowl in a daze, Shen Mushen could only put down his chopsticks.
The sound of the chopsticks touching the bowl attracted Gu Chaochao to look at him. Just as he was about to ask why he was eating, he met Shen Mu's calm eyes.
"Chaochao, trust me." He said slowly.
Gu Chaochao was silent for a long time and nodded.
Shen Mushen didn't say much, picked up the chopsticks again to serve her dishes, Gu Chaochao ate silently, and suddenly asked, "Am I very useless?"
Shen Mushen raised his lips: "You will be afraid, I am happy. ."
Gu Chaochao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed when he understood the deep meaning.
Shen Mu was deeply aware of his blunder, and then raised his lips after a pause: "Eat quickly, you haven't rested all day, you should be sleepy.
" After eating for a long time, she glanced at him secretly, but was caught by him, and she quickly lowered her head in fright.
Shen Mu deeply restrained for a few times, but couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.
When resting in the evening, Gu Chaochao climbed into the bed first, and then made a large vacancy, the meaning is self-evident.
Shen Mushen stood on the spot, just thinking that he might sleep in the same bed, every part of his body began to scream at the same time.
"What are you doing, come here." Gu Chaochao urged.
Shen Mu's throat moved, and when she met her clean eyes, she suddenly felt dirty.
He is a person who rolls in the mud, even getting close to her will dirty her shoes, how can he dare to live with her.
"Twilight?" Gu Chaochao frowned.
Shen Mushen was silent for a long time, then said, "I'll go to sleep in a side room."
Gu Chaochao was stunned for a moment, and before he could speak, he turned and left. Gu Chaochao stared blankly at the door that was opened and closed, but did not speak for a long time.
After Shen Mushen left, the already quiet room became quieter. Gu Chaochao blew out the light and turned to lie down on the bed. He only felt that the room seemed to be much bigger than before, looking at the pleasing decorations and green plants before, Now, in the dark, he is showing his teeth and claws, like a ferocious evil spirit, seeing that Shen Mushen is not at this time, and wants to devour her alive.
It's really strange, Shen Mushen didn't have no sleepovers before, but it was the first time she felt this way. Gu Chaochao silently shrank into the bed, closed his eyes and forced himself to fall asleep.
On the other side, Shen Mushen went to the side room where no one lived for a long time, took out the musty-smelling quilt from the closet, threw it on the bed, and lay down straight. After applying the medicine for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis in the knee, the pain is not so much, but the side room did not burn the ground dragon, the quilt was damp, and after lying down for a while, the knee began to hurt like needles.
He lay quietly, as if the pain from his knees had nothing to do with him, and his mind was full of Gu Chaochao sitting on the bed softly looking at him.
Unable to think any more, he restrained his eyes and closed his eyes, but he didn't feel sleepy at all.
The musty smell on the quilt and the dust in the air were all pervasive. After a long time, he still opened his eyes, quietly looked at the dark roof, and laughed at himself for a long while: "I'm used to a good life, and even this bit of pain suffers. Can't you?"
He said that, but he knew in his heart that the good days he was talking about did not mean the conservatory and the soft quilt.
Time passed little by little, and he finally felt sleepy. He sighed and was about to rest when there was a sudden noise from the door of the room, and he opened his eyes again.
It's definitely not an assassin, an assassin can't enter the Sili Supervisor, and he never dares to enter through the main entrance, let alone make such a big noise. It wouldn't be the people who were serving in Supervisor Si Li. Now, in the middle of the night, they didn't dare to disturb his rest.
The answer is self-evident, Shen Mu raised her lips deeply, and opened her mouth when she quietly walked over: "What's wrong?"
"You haven't slept yet?" Gu Chaochao was pleasantly surprised.
Shen Mushen sat up: "Is something wrong?"
"I'm fine, I'm just here to take a look." Gu Chaochao waved his hand hurriedly.
Shen Mu didn't believe this, and quietly waited for her next words.
Sure enough, she was embarrassed and said, "I can't sleep alone, can I sleep with you all night?"
Shen Mushen's lips curled into a deeper smile, but he didn't answer her question.
Gu Chaochao hurriedly assured: "I promise not to disturb you, I will never disturb you, it really can't be done... I can also lay the floor."
"You know that I won't let you lay the floor." Shen Mushen's deep smile still came out of his voice.
Gu Chaochao wanted to pretend to be pitiful again, but he couldn't hold back his joy when he heard the words: "Yes, so you have to give me half of the bed."
After saying that, without waiting for Shen Mushen's answer, he just crawled into the bed, Shen Mushen said. Shen quickly stopped: "No."
"You want to drive me away?" Gu Chaochao couldn't believe it.
Shen Mushen was helpless: "The bedding here is too damp, and the earth dragon is not hot enough, so let's go back to sleep."
Gu Chaochao: "..."
After a quarter of an hour, the two of them lay side by side on the bed in the master bedroom.
Gu Chaochao sighed: "So you have nothing to do, why don't you rest early?"
Shen Mushen chuckled lightly without explaining.
With him by his side, Gu Chaochao quickly became sleepy and fell asleep after a while. She slept fairly honestly, she said she didn't move, and there was a distance of nearly two people from him. Shen Mushen stared at her sideways for a long time, and then slowly closed her eyes and accompanied him. The sound of her breathing fell asleep.
After a long tossing that night, Gu Chaochao woke up three days after the next day. When he opened his eyes, he realized that something was wrong. When he turned his head, he saw Shen Mushen still sitting on the bed.
"You didn't go to the top?" She was a little surprised.
"My knee is injured and I can't walk." Shen Mushen replied.
Gu Chaochao glanced at his knees and frowned: "Indeed, you need to take good care of your injuries."
Shen Mushen nodded solemnly. , the third day still did not go. For a while outside, it was said that Shen Mushen had lost the emperor's favor, and it would not be long before the palm print position was not his. At first, no one believed these words, but many officials came in and out of the imperial study that day and saw him. The appearance of being punished by the emperor to kneel.
As officials testified, the rumors became more real.
Gu Chaochao was a little worried at first, but seeing that Shen Mushen was as calm as ever, he quickly figured out the key points, so he stopped thinking about it. The two of them are both injured now. One raises their hands and the other raises their legs. They stay together all day to read books and eat cakes. Their lives are becoming more stable and smooth. Occasionally, Gu Chaochao even thinks that it would be good to be like this all the time.
"If you like it, I'll think of something and go straight out to establish the mansion, and I'll accompany you to spend such a leisurely life with you in the future." Shen Mu said with a deep smile. Now that he has reached his position, it is not difficult to go out and establish a government.
Gu Chaochao thought about it for a while and thought it was not bad: "Then raise a dog at home."
"More flowers and trees." Shen Mushen also followed the idea.
Gu Chaochao came to be interested: "I want to build a beautiful kitchen, I can make pastries to pass the time when I'm free." "
The mansion should be more guarded, preferably as tight as an iron barrel."
, The chat was very enjoyable, but the emperor in the imperial study was going crazy because of the mountains of memorials in front of him. He repeatedly sent people to let Shen Mushen come over, but every time he was rejected because of his serious illness.
After several times in a row, the emperor was busy with state affairs and sullen again, and fell ill directly.
"Aren't we going to piss him off?" Gu Chaochao was suddenly worried.
Shen Mu squinted her deeply: "Isn't it okay?"
Gu Chaochao was silent, and for a long time showed a subtle smile.
