[Red Mansion] Ronghua Road of Mrs. Hou's Mansion

Gu Xingchi stared at her, his peach blossom eyes were somewhat indifferent, as if he wanted to look into her heart through her eyes.

Sister Feng's heart skipped a beat, wouldn't he guess what she was thinking?

She was concerned: "When did you wake up and why didn't you call me?"

The corners of Gu Xingchi's lips curled up, and his voice was hoarse: "I just woke up, seeing that you are engrossed in your thoughts, I didn't dare to disturb you."

Sister Feng nodded, and said as if nothing had happened: "I was thinking that this assassination should have been planned for a long time. It seems that the first time it failed, and the people behind the scenes have not given up. Maybe they are still wandering in Jinling, so we can't Let’s go now. But that’s fine, you’re not fit to move until you’re seriously injured, and it’s not too late to leave after your injury recovers. I’ve already figured out a way to ask Aunt Xu to deliver the letter, and I have to report to Ping’er that I’m safe. But you Don't worry, for the sake of safety, I didn't tell Aunt Xu our real identity." Then, he explained, "Aunt Xu is the one who saved us."

After thinking about it, she told Gu Xingchi the story she made up, and told him not to let it slip.

The emotion in Gu Xingchi's eyes was difficult to understand, "So, I have the same surname as you now?"

Sister Feng was dumbfounded for a moment.

"Yes... yes. I made up that story on the spur of the moment and didn't think too much about it..." She frowned, "It's just temporary, why do you care so much about it?"

Gu Xingchi couldn't help laughing, coughed a few times suddenly, the wound was involved all of a sudden, his face turned pale from the pain.

Sister Feng hurriedly walked over, "Stop laughing, blood is oozing again."

As he spoke, he wanted to check his wounds.

Gu Xingchi saw her nervous face and dared not move.

Sister Feng only had Gu Xingchi's injury at the moment, and didn't think about other places.She bent down and stretched out her hand to untie the gauze, her long black hair fell down, and there was a faint fragrance.

"This time, Xifeng was lucky enough to escape, thanks to Lord Hou's full protection. Xifeng is extremely grateful."

Sister Feng stood up and went to the table over there to get the water basin, herbs, gauze and other things.

Gu Xingchi was taken aback for a moment, his lips moved, and he said after a while: "Those people came to assassinate me, and you were implicated only to save me. It is only right for me to protect you."

Sister Feng smiled faintly, "If it weren't for me, Master Hou would definitely be able to escape without risk of death. Although those who don't know are not to blame, I was a disservice in the end."

"You know everything?" Gu Xingchi said.

Sister Feng soaked the glued gauze with water, took it apart, and wiped the blood around the wound with a wet cloth.

"It's not difficult to guess. If you think about it carefully, you will understand everything. Speaking of which, you refused to go to Wang's house with me that day, and it was also for my sake."

Gu Xingchi shook his head, "But now it seems that your loss is greater than mine. It's just that the situation is unclear now, and you have to be wronged to stay here with me for a while."

Sister Feng had expected this a long time ago, her eyelashes flickered, "If Lord Hou is really sorry, when you return to Beijing, can your Majesty tell you everything truthfully when you ask?"

"Naturally." Gu Xingchi said without hesitation.

Sister Feng smiled and said, "Thank you, Lord Hou."

Gu Xingchi has always known that Sister Feng is a smart person and good at scheming, even in this situation, she is still figuring out how to get the most benefit.She knew that Emperor Tianshun valued Gu Xingchi very much. If Emperor Tianshun knew that Sister Feng had helped Gu Xingchi many times, even risked her life to save her, and that he would not hesitate to make the crown prince suspicious of the Wang family in order to protect Gu Xingchi from being searched by assassins, he would definitely It will change the view of the Wang family.After that, Sister Feng will slowly plan, and Emperor Tianshun will probably let go of the idea of ​​​​getting rid of the Wang family.

In fact, Sister Feng did nothing wrong.However, he felt a little lost.

Sister Feng didn't notice his abnormality and continued to treat his wound.

His shoulder was wounded, and half of his body was exposed for dressing purposes, so that the old scars showed.

Sister Feng put all her attention on applying the medicine and bandaging him, without blushing and heartbeat, and didn't ask any other questions, her attitude was completely irrelevant to her.

Gu Xingchi looked at her like this, and felt that under the light of the candlelight, her eyes were looking forward and shining brightly.Especially every time when she laughs, the tails of her eyes are raised, full of charm.

Her fingers are slender and fair, and it looks like she is used to being pampered.Now she is doing this for him with these hands, the movements are very gentle and careful, for fear of hurting him.It was like a feather passing through his heart, and he couldn't tell what it was like.

"Okay." Sister Feng helped him put on his coat, helped him to lie down, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Actually, I have never understood why you are following me. No, to be precise, it is the Wang family. We are also close friends, can't Master Hou reveal a thing or two?"

……

Early the next morning, Aunt Xu was very happy when she heard the news that Gu Xingchi had woken up. She personally saw Gu Xingchi and ordered Xu Yong to decoct the medicine.

When Xu Yonggang came back from chopping firewood, he went to the kitchen before he had time to drink.Sister Feng was very sorry, "Don't bother Brother Xu, I'll do it myself."

Xu Yong's face flushed red, "No...it's dirty here, Miss Wang, please don't come in."

Sister Feng's eyes were soft, "Brother Xu just came back from chopping firewood, and he will have to chop firewood later. It's really tiring. I can still do this little thing."

Xu Yong insisted: "I'm not tired, Miss Wang, just go back and rest."

He squatted down in front of the fire and blocked Sister Feng's view. Sister Feng couldn't laugh or cry, so she had to go out.

She walked around in the yard, and then returned to Gu Xingchi's room, only to find that he was leaning on the bedside talking to Aunt Xu.Seeing Sister Feng coming in, Aunt Xu said, "You're back, your brother just told me about you." Aunt Xu looked kindly at the two brothers and sisters, "Sure enough, they are brothers and sisters. It's also very good."

Gu Xingchi looked at Sister Feng, and said with a smile, "Young lady, I'm just a little sister. Naturally, I have to protect her."

Sister Feng twitched the corners of her mouth and refused to answer his words.

After a while, Xu Yong came in with the medicine, and Sister Feng was going to pick it up, so he dodged and said, "It's hot."

It doesn't matter if he dodges, because he moved quickly and urgently, the medicine spilled out directly, making his hands burnt.

Even so, he held the medicine bowl firmly, walked steadily step by step, and finally successfully put the medicine bowl on the table.

At this time, he called out "hot" and hurriedly blew his hands.

Sister Feng sighed, this person is really too naive, why is he a little silly?She quickly went out to scoop up a bowl of cold water and let him soak her hands in it.

"Brother Xu, does it... hurt? You soak it for a while, and I'll help you apply the ointment."

Xu Yong stammered, "No...it doesn't hurt."

Sister Feng felt guilty, and when Gu Xingchi saw that Sister Feng was so anxious and wanted to give him the medicine herself, his face darkened.

Seeing this, Mrs. Xu sighed, "Miss Wang, you can feed the prince medicine." Then she took over the work from Sister Feng.

Sister Feng smiled and said, "Okay."

Only then did Gu Xingchi's complexion turn around, and his voice was a little dissatisfied, "The medicine is getting cold."

Sister Feng: "..."
