General's humble stand-in

As humble as a peach, he was beaten and scolded when he was begging in the past.But most of the time it's just a slap or a kick and it's over, but kneeling in this Qionghua Pavilion, the pain on his face seems to be endless.

Caizhu looked thin and weak, but when she hit someone, she was very aggressive and didn't spare any strength in her hands.After a while, Tao Zhuo felt a burst of warmth in his mouth, and blood flowed down the corner of his mouth slowly.

"Take it outside to fight." Princess Pingnan started fiddling with the window paper again, with a sneer on her lips, "Everyone in the mansion has a long memory for the New Year's Eve, even if I'm around the general, I can beat and scold, who dares to disrespect This is what happens to me."

The clear and crisp slaps followed tirelessly one after another, Tao Zhuo's cheeks on both sides were already red, swollen and numb, the pain was not so strong, but the blood on the lips kept dripping.

Occasionally, a domestic servant passed by, with his head down and hurried around, not daring to take a second look.

Probably Caizhu was also tired from the beating, and she put her hands on her hips and cursed, "Idiot, think that those who serve by the general's side don't pay attention to our princess, our princess's identity is there, it's not your turn Asshole."

The shrill voice was like the sound of claws scratching across an iron plate, which made the scalp tingle, Taozhuo's ears were buzzing, and she was not sensitive to external sounds, as if there was a thick barrier.Tao Zhuo knew that the eardrum was damaged when he was beaten.

Let Caizhu scold again, "The old general and old lady in our mansion are still alive, they dote on our princess, let alone beat you today, even if they find a reason to drive you out, the general will not be able to say it." What, you will protect you as a general?"

The voice was about to fall, and a bone-piercing voice suddenly sounded from behind Caizhu, "If I want to protect him, what about your master and servant?"

Tao Zhuo raised his head against the wind and snow, and the ink-colored costume caught his eyes, like a god who saved the world.

His vision was instantly blurred, and the tears that he could hold back when he was beaten could not be held back now.

Caizhu was so frightened that her legs and feet became weak, and she knelt on the ground tremblingly, "Forgive me, the general. It's the servant who made a slip of the tongue. I beg the general to forgive me."

Gu Ye snorted coldly, "It's okay, who doesn't know the style of your Pingnan Palace, and it's not surprising that you can raise a ruthless girl like you."

Then he lowered his head to look at Tao Zhuo, a trace of pity flashed across the deep amber eyes.

"Can you still stand up?" Gu Ye asked softly.

Tao Zhuo nodded, supported his numb knee with both hands, and staggered up.Seeing that he was not standing still, Gu Ye hastily stretched out his hand to help him.

Holding Tao Zhuo steady, Gu Ye turned his head and said to Caizhu in a cold voice, "Just kneel here and slap your mouth. If you dare to stop without permission, I will drive you back to Pingnan Palace."

For a dowry girl like Caizhu, it's okay if she is married off, but if she is driven back, she will be ashamed of the palace, and she will never be forgiven.

How could Caizhu not follow, she didn't know the pain until she slapped her face, she cried while beating her, "I know I'm wrong, I know I'm wrong."

Back in Tingfeng Tower, Tao Zhuo was obedient like a doll, sitting motionless by the bed, only a pair of black jewel-like eyes followed Gu Ye around.

After digging out the ointment for dispelling pain and removing stasis, Gu Ye leaned down and gently wiped it on Taozhuo's red and swollen cheeks.

The tingling sensation penetrated into every tiny pore, as if being punctured little by little by thousands of needles.Tao Zhuo clenched her teeth, and her tight hands were wet with sweat.

"Does it hurt?" Gu Ye asked softly.

"No, it doesn't hurt."

The more Tao Zhuo forbears Gu Ye, the more he pities Gu Ye, and suddenly he thinks of Zi Yu, who also loves to be brave.His eyes darkened, and the movement of rubbing the medicine on his hands became more gentle.

The texture of the fingertips moistened the cool medicine and slid across the cheeks little by little, and the approaching breath rushed to the base of the ears, causing a bloody blush.

Tao Zhuo suddenly grabbed Gu Ye's wrist, and said without daring to look directly, "General, I'll do it myself."

The voice was low and depressing, as if trying to restrain the love that almost gushed out from the bottom of my heart.At this moment, Tao Zhuo is in a trance with hope, maybe the general's kindness is sincere, not because he is similar to someone.

The most ignorant and ignorant love, longing and sad.

Fortunately, although Gu Ye punished Caizhu, Princess Pingnan did not make a scene quietly.The mansion is peaceful and peaceful during the Chinese New Year, and it is peaceful and prosperous.

At night, Tao Zhuo was lying down, and suddenly heard a knock on the door.

"Taozhuo, did you fall asleep?"

It was Gu Ye's voice, Tao Zhuo hurriedly got out of the warm blanket, and replied while putting on his clothes, "No, I haven't slept yet."

Stepping on the cold floor tiles with bare feet, Tao Zhuo quickly ran to open the door.

Gu Ye was still wearing the black and embroidered costume, with a faint smile on his brows and eyes.The moonlight shone behind him, the light seemed warm but cold and boundless.

"The kitchen made a few new pastries today. I know you like them, so I brought them here for you."

After receiving the food box, the sudden sense of happiness made Tao Zhuo feel like he was floating on the clouds, and after a while he said stupidly, "Thank you, General."

"Eat it tomorrow, it's not easy to overeat at night."

The son is like jade, warm and moist.

Looking at the direction Gu Ye was leaving, he could no longer see the black figure, but Tao Zhuo couldn't look back reluctantly.

Until Gu Ansheng, who lived in the same room, reprimanded angrily, "The young master has left, and you still leave the door open to freeze someone to death, go back to sleep."

Only then did Tao Zhuo hastily close the door, the soles of his feet stepped on the cold and hard ground, belatedly arousing tiny tremors on his skin.

Hearing Gu Ansheng snorted coldly, Tao Zhuo hurriedly asked, "Do you want to eat?"

"The young master gave it to you specially, how dare I eat it." Gu Ansheng said in a muffled voice while huddling under the quilt, his tone full of yin and yang jealousy.

Tao Zhuo still carefully took out two pieces of pastries and placed them on the head of Gu Ansheng's bed, the fragrance immediately spread in this not-so-big room.Not long after, Tao Zhuo, who was lying on the bed, heard a clicking sound coming from the opposite side, as if he was venting his anger by eating, and his teeth were clenched.

Tao Zhuo covered her lips and snickered, thinking that Gu Ansheng sometimes acted like a child, which was kind of funny.

Another two days later, the general followed the princess to the Pingnan Palace, Gu Ansheng was close by, and Tao Zhuo was left behind in the General's Palace.

I was cleaning in Tingfeng Tower, when I heard a voice from outside, "Is Taozhuo here?"

Pushing open the door, the morning sun was slightly dazzling, Tao Zhuo narrowed his almond eyes slightly.

"You are Tao Zhuo?"

Taozhuo nodded.

The one who was talking stared at Tao Zhuo's fair cheeks for a few moments, and muttered softly, "No wonder Brother Ye is protecting you."

Then he continued, "On the Chinese New Year's Eve, the general fined the colored beads, and the princess went to the old lady to make a fuss. The old lady stopped the matter and suppressed it. The old lady wanted to know what happened. Come with me and explain the matter clearly."
