All his life

"How dare you hit me?"

"How dare you hit me!!"

He was slapped unexpectedly, and the right side of his face was in hot pain, not severe but unnegligible, and the sound of the slap echoed in his ears.

Aunt Ying couldn't believe her face, covering her red face with palm prints, her beautiful eyes were wide open, the red threads were staring out, she couldn't bear to be hit by a lowly person she didn't see in her eyes A slap in the face of the fact.

But the pain on her face really existed, Aunt Ying was so angry that she trembled all over, she suddenly screamed and waved her palm, ignoring the exclamation and obstruction of everyone present, she waved straight at Gu Jingyan.

The waving palm couldn't be shaken off for a long time, Gu Jingyan, who felt weird, took a closer look, but saw Duan Ce who suddenly appeared, caught Aunt Ying's waving hand with one hand, and tightly held Aunt Ying's tiny White wrists.

The expression on his face changed from normal, from expressionless to cloudy and dissatisfied, Duan Ce withdrew his outstretched hand and pursed his thin lips tightly.

"My lord, please make amends!"

When everyone saw Duan Ce with an ugly expression and a silent expression, everyone knelt down in fear, and the first thing they said was to beg for mercy.

"Does it hurt?"

Duan Ce took two quick steps and got closer, then grabbed Gu Jingyan who was about to kneel down, let go of Gu Jingyan's arm and slowly lifted it up, passing by the sharp and thin chin, he was caught touching Gu Jingyan with his fingertips The left side of his face was injured, he didn't dare to touch the wound, his fingers trembled slightly, for fear of hurting Gu Jingyan if he touched it hard.

"fine."

Gu Jingyan is not used to it, and doesn't like being touched by Duan Ce in front of outsiders, even though Duan Ce's status is there, the movement of avoiding it is out of instinct.

So Duan Ce was dodged before he touched Gu Jingyan, leaving his slightly open palm in midair.

"Come on, I don't want to see that beast again, and then I will bring Aunt Ying back to Xihua Pavilion. Without my order, you are not allowed to step out of Xihua Pavilion."

"Let's go back."

Withdrawing his hand, Duan Ce said to the back without turning his head.Then he supported Gu Jingyan and wanted to leave.

"Ah! My lord, save my concubine!!"

Before taking two steps, Duan Ce heard an exclamation from the side, the faintly audible voice was full of pain.

Looking back, I saw that Concubine Li's face and neck had turned red, covered with red marks from scratching with her hands, and Concubine Li was also scratching her neck with both hands, her small face wrinkled in pain expression.

Seeing this, Duan Ce frowned, not wanting to talk to Concubine Li, so he ordered to Duan Lei beside him.

"Call the doctor over and help Concubine Li go back."

"Yes."

"Why are you so careless, you don't even know the cat ran over! You deserve it!!"

Duan Ce returned the person to the room, lifted Gu Jingyan's chin with one hand, turned the left side of his face to his side, and carefully looked at the three scratched scars.

The cat's claws are very sharp, and with just one swipe, the marks are deep and thin, and a lot of blood is left behind.After the wind blows, the blood that flowed out has dried up, sticking to the face piece by piece.

"..."

Gu Jingyan, who couldn't see what Duan Ce was thinking, heard it in his ears but remained silent on the surface. After Duan Ce's reminder, Gu Jingyan felt that the place where the blood flowed on his face was stuck, and he felt uncomfortable when he moved.

"Who would have thought that a good cat would suddenly go berserk."

Gu Jingyan, who has always seldom talked to Duan Ce, said that he doesn't like Duan Ce's current behavior of adding insult to injury, so he turned his head away to prevent Duan Ce from touching him.

"Won't you pay more attention to your surroundings and stay vigilant?"

"will not!"

With his palm empty, Duan Ce looked up at the person who didn't know that he was unintentionally fighting against him, and was amused by his funny behavior, so he couldn't help laughing out loud.

There was a laugh at an untimely time, and the scratched little fire in my heart was turned into a big fire by the laughter, and I turned my head and yelled at Duan Ce.

"If you laugh again, believe it or not, I'll beat you up!"

As soon as the words fell to the ground, both of them were stunned. Gu Jingyan raised his head, quietly sat up straight and deviated from the range of Duan Ce's embrace.

There was no sound, the silence quickly filled the entire space, Gu Jingyan's eyes fell on the teacup on the table, he was waiting, waiting for Duan Ce's next move.

Duan Ce didn't believe in himself, Gu Jingyan knew it.Apart from the incident the day before yesterday, there were several secret letters from Shang Li Kingdom that Duan Ce almost discovered, all of which were for Gu Jingyan to find out about Duan Ce.

Although Gu Jingyan managed to avoid danger several times, but Gu Jingyan would not foolishly think that Duan Ce would not find anything.

"Don't move around, it won't be good if you touch the wound, the doctor is rushing over."

Duan Ce got up, changed direction with his feet, and walked to the pear blossom wooden cabinet which was tightly closed but which Gu Jingyan had never touched.

The dull sound of babbling exploded in the quiet space, which sounded a bit old-fashioned, followed by the sound of rummaging through things.

Dong dong dong, there was a regular knock on the door, and then I heard the voice of the butler Duan Lei.

"My lord, the doctor is here."

"come in."
