Chapter 20 Twenty days in prison

Gu Lingxiao went up the mountain the next day.

It was already night, and Yingying was holding a medical book in her room, looking for a way to relieve her lover's murmur.

A knock on the door came, and Yingying heard Xiao Dai's voice coming from outside the door. She yawned and said lazily: "The door is not locked, you can just push the door and come in."

Xiaodai paused and continued to slap the door, "Girl, I can't push it."

Yingying turned the book in her hand another page, without raising her eyes, "Push hard."

"I can't push even if I push hard."

"Girl, come and help me."

Yingying couldn't calm down because of the powerful sound of slapping the door. She was afraid that Xiaodai would disturb the nearby residents, so she put down her book and ran to open the door. As a result, the door opened with a light pull.

"This is a good door, why are you..." Yingying was wondering why Xiaodai couldn't push the door open, but when the door opened, she looked up and didn't see Xiaodai, but saw a young man in Jinyi holding a folding fan.

The man had long eyebrows, peach blossom eyes, and smiled with his mouth. Yingying was stunned when she saw his face.

This, isn’t this Gu Lingxiao?!

Xiaodai jumped out from behind Gu Lingxiao and asked her girl with a smile; "Is the girl happy or not?"

Yingying's brain was blank and there was no way to hear Xiaodai's words. Gu Lingxiao saw Yingying standing there stupidly, and sneered and tapped her head with a fan, "Yingying doesn't know her brother?"

Bang--

Responding to Gu Lingxiao was the rapid sound of closing the door.

Gu Lingxiao's smile froze on his face. He withdrew his folding fan and shouted in confusion: "Yingying?"

Yingying closed the door and pressed her back against the door, and her breathing made her eyes feel hot.

Gu Lingxiao is back, it’s really Gu Lingxiao is back...

Yingying can't remember how long it took for her to see Gu Lingxiao smile at her. Her last memory of Gu Lingxiao in her previous life was that he pointed his sword at her, and there were countless times Leng Bingbing warned her not to appear in front of him again. It was not until a long time after Gu Lingxiao's death that Yingying understood that Gu Lingxiao not only hated her, but also hated himself.

He hated that he had not taught his sister well, and he hated that he could not avenge his wife and children. He hated Yingying for doing so many wrong things but still couldn't bear to kill her.

"Yingying?"

"What's wrong with you girl?"

Gu Lingxiao thought he would get hugged by his sister, but he didn't expect to be turned away. Knowing that this girl had always been willful, he stepped forward and patted Yingying's door, and asked with a smile: "Are you angry that your brother has been away for too long, or are you angry that your brother didn't tell you the exact time of coming back?"

"Your Majesty has already given me a leave of absence. No matter where you say you want to play, how about my brother accompany you?"

Listening to Gu Lingxiao's careful coaxing outside the door, Yingying seemed to return to her original past life. A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. Yingying stirred her dress to adjust her emotions. She shouted: "Brother."

Gu Lingxiao heard Yingying's voice and replied with a smile: "Brother is here."

Listening to Gu Lingxiao's response, Yingying was much more stable. She told herself that this was not the brother who later hated her. She had not yet figured out how to face him, so Yingying found a reason to send him away and prepared to clear her thoughts and see him again tomorrow.

Forced herself to calm down, Yingying leaned on the couch with a medical book and continued to read it seriously. The medical book was lent to her by a young monk in Qingguang Temple, and it recorded many folk remedies. Yingying thought that her lover was about to have an attack in two days, and she had to find a way soon.

I don’t know how long I looked, but Changzhuan burned away a piece of wax marks left countless traces. Yingying saw that her eyes were blurred and drowsy, and finally fell on the pillow.

When the bell rang in the early morning, Yingying woke up with a sudden thrill. After seeing Gu Lingxiao, she had a rare sleep. She hurriedly washed up and pushed open the door, and went straight to the main hall of Qingguang Temple.

She went there a little early today. Before she arrived at the hall, she heard the Sanskrit singing coming from the hall.

This is the morning class that the monks in Qingguang Temple have to do every day. Yingying did not enter the hall and waited patiently outside. Listening to the low moaning of Sanskrit, Yingying's eyes flashed and held the long-lived lock in her collar. This was the first time she had touched it since she was reborn, and silently prayed for Gu Lingxiao to follow Sanskrit.

This long-lived lock was left by the original owner Gu Yingying's biological mother. There were two in total, Yingying and Gu Lingxiao each had one. After she killed Qiu An'an in her previous life, Gu Lingxiao smashed his long-lived lock in front of her. Yingying really thought Gu Lingxiao hated her to death, so when Gu Lingxiao died, he could not hold on to the long-lived lock that fell out of his arms.

No matter what he said, he would never care about her life or death. This big liar was so angry that she hated her but still couldn't bear to ignore her.

Yingying held her longevity lock tightly and waited until the monks left the hall after morning class, and then stepped in.

Just as he knelt on the cushion, Yingying folded her hands together and didn't wait to worship the Buddha. A bang came from her forehead. Yingying opened her eyes and saw Gu Lingxiao standing in front of her.

"What are you doing here?" Gu Lingxiao was very tall and leaned over to look at Yingying slightly.

Yingying kept her posture unmoved. Gu Lingxiao frowned when she saw this, raised Yingying's chin and looked around: "Xiao Dai said that you have been up to worship Buddha every day in the past few days. Could it be that you have been stimulated by some stimulation?"

Gu Lingxiao knows Yingying very well and knows that his sister is heartless.

When he approached the man and looked carefully, Gu Lingxiao saw Yingying still had no reaction, and he was worried and wanted to pull the person up. "Tell me about it with my brother, what's wrong with you?"

Yingying stood up obediently, and staggered because of her weak legs, and hit Gu Lingxiao's arms.

Gu Lingxiao's arms were very warm. Unlike Qin Rong's elegant fragrance, his clothes were stained with green grass and fragrant flowers. Yingying did not confirm that her former brother had returned until she touched Gu Lingxiao's body temperature.

"Brother." Yingying looked up at him, "I had a terrible nightmare."

When Gu Lingxiao came back, he heard Empress Gu mention this matter, otherwise he would not have rushed up the mountain.

"Be good, we're not afraid, brother will protect you." He patted Yingying's head and Gu Lingxiao comforted her, but Yingying had a follow-up.

"I dreamed that you became a kiss and no longer loved me."

"My sister-in-law treats you and me, and she always competes for my brother."

"That scares you to run to Qingguang Temple?" Gu Lingxiao felt funny and looked down at Yingying.

Yingying paused, "Then... I was very angry and killed your wife and children, and killed you."

As the words fell, Yingying saw Gu Lingxiao's smile froze. When she saw him raising her hand, Yingying's heartbeat faster and subconsciously closed her eyes. The imagined pain did not come. Gu Lingxiao took the person into her arms and pinched Yingying's cheeks hard, and said a little annoyed: "Brother, I have never offended Yingying recently."

"Why is Yingying and her brother so much? She even curses her brother if she dreams."

Yingying's cheeks were pulled into various shapes by Gu Lingxiao, and she was so whimpering that she couldn't speak.

Although her cheeks hurt, Yingying's heart was warm. Once upon a time, Yingying made a mistake and Gu Lingxiao pinched her cheeks like this. Yingying pulled away Gu Lingxiao's hand and threw it into his arms, hugged his waist and softly shouted to him: "Brother, Yingying misses you so much."

The longing for a lifetime of isolation is too long.

Gu Lingxiao snorted and laughed deliberately, "Brother, don't miss you."

"Don't you really want to?"

When Yingying raised her head and looked at him, Gu Lingxiao tskated: "Then just think about it for a moment."

If he really didn't want Yingying, how could he run to Qingguang Temple as soon as he returned to the imperial city?

...

Before Yingying and Gu Lingxiao could get close enough here, rain fell from the sky at noon, and everyone could only stay in the room.

Gu Lingxiao sat in the corridor with Yingying Hall, looking at the rain outside and pondered, "It's time for this rain, the mountain road will not be easy to walk."

Yingying nodded and said curiously: "Does my brother want to go back?"

"No, there is a noble person coming."

As he was speaking, the sound of horse hooves came from the mountain gate, and suddenly more than a dozen carriages were stopped. Hundreds of imperial guards entered Qingguang Temple in the rain. With the wait of the presidency and monks in the temple, an old lady dressed in luxurious clothes was helped off the carriage.

"Then, that's not too..." Before the empress dowager could say anything, Yingying was dragged to the mountain gate by Gu Lingxiao.

In addition to the monks in the temple, Qiu Yu and Qiu Anan also rushed over. Yingying didn't wait to be surprised, but saw another person coming down from the carriage behind the empress dowager, frosty white brocade dressed ink and jade crown, half of the man's face was covered by an umbrella under the rain curtain, and only his thin lips and jade-like chin were exposed in the rain.

Yingying knew who this man was at a glance. The sound of rain hit the ground. She heard Gu Lingxiao whispering beside her: "Why is the Queen Mother here too?"

“…”

This time, the rush of the great-looking man was because when she worshiped the Buddha this morning, the string of Buddha in her hand scattered for no reason, and one of the beads had cracks.

The Star Moon Bodhi was presented to her by the Qingguang Temple in the early years. Zhao Xuan happened to be unwell these days. Seeing this, he felt uneasy and hurried to Qingguang Temple and prepared to stay for a while.

Perhaps the damage to the rosary beads affected the mood of the empress dowager. After she came to the temple, she directly dismissed Yingying and the others for her greetings. Qin Rong came with the empress dowager, but Gu Lingxiao told Yingying that even if the empress dowager did not come, Qin Rong would come today because he specially invited Qin Rong to come.

"Why did your brother invite him?" As the group got farther away, Yingying ran towards the dormitory with her hands blocking the rain.

"It's not for you." Gu Lingxiao already knew about his lover's mutter. He was worried about Yingying's changes in Qingguang Temple, so he asked his aunt to pass on the message.

Today's rain came quickly, and the two of them had no time to put on umbrellas and their clothes were soaked. However, the dormitory was not close to the mountain gate. Fortunately, a servant hurriedly ran back to deliver the umbrella. Although he did not say who his master was, Gu Lingxiao could tell at a glance that he was the person beside Qin Rong.

After thanking him, Gu Lingxiao opened his umbrella to block the rain for Yingying. Yingying could roughly guess who gave them the umbrella. Both of them subconsciously looked in the direction of the attendant leaving. Under the cover of the heavy rain, Qin Rong held Zhao Xuan and never turned around. The group quickly disappeared from the corner.

After returning to the dormitory, he separated from Gu Lingxiao, Yingying felt cold all over and took a hot bath.

Facts proved that Gu Lingxiao's worries were right, because Yingying didn't expect that the lover, who should have had a day before the attack, suddenly had an attack early.
