I Married Female Lead's Crush Chapter 22

Perhaps it is from the effect of the mind soothing incense, the two slept until noon time.

Su Qing woke up still feeling confused, opened her hazy eyes and saw Gu Zifu was sleeping next to her, Su Qing was taken aback. It took her awhile to come back to her senses after almost having a heart attack a moment ago. Subconsciously wanted to sit up, but found that Gu Zifu's legs did not know since when pressing on her legs and his big hands also tightly around her waist. Her actions have disturbed Gu Zifu.

Sleeping Gu Zifu was awakened, issued a tired nasal sound, moved his big hand and brought the person back closer into his arms, he then murmured: “Don't move, let this lord hold for a while.” 

It was fine if he didn't say it, the moment he opened his mouth, Su Qing's body instantly became stiff, slightly bit her lower lip and followed his movement to lie down. The corner of her eye accidentally fell on Gu Zifu's half open chest, Su Qing's face completely turned red. She had to move a little bit away, so that there is some gap between them. 

Su Qing was wide awake, looking at the tent above her head  in shock and shame.

G.o.d, is the Seventh Lord a pig? How can he's so good at sleeping?

Su Qing silently waited for half a day, but didn't the signs of Gu Zifu wanted to wake up at all. She bit her teeth and gently removed Gu Zifu's hand that was wrapping around her waist, but before she could even pull it out, there was a sudden "pop" sound smacking on the back of her hand. Although it was not painful, it was enough to startle Su Qing. 

"…..Seventh Lord, are you awake?"

"No." The voice was faintly weak.

"……" Su Qing stared at his side face for a long time, very familared of the current situation and quickly shut up. However, she was still brave enough to continue to carry the hand that was placed on her waist and said, "then the Seventh Lord continues your sleeping, I'll go to the kitchen to see Shuangqiao to look for something to eat."

Feeling her movement getting out of the bed, Gu Zifu reluctantly opened his eyes, his sudden actions has caused Su Qing who was about to get up paused for a moment.

"Seventh Lord?"

Gu Zifu raised his eyelids, kneading between his eyebrows and replied lazily, "En, not dead yet."

The word "dead" frequently hangs at the Seventh Lord's mouth, his words are really unpleasant to hear.

Su Qing lowered her head, quietly dissing him inside.

Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered what eunuch Changsheng said when he came to see her at Gu Family last time. Seeing Gu Zifu still in a confused look after just waking up, she asked softly, "Seventh Lord, I heard from the eunuch Changsheng that your body has injury, how come I didn't see you drink medicine?"

It seemed like the Seventh Lord returned to the capital because of his injury at the border and then he was promoted as the the North border general.

Gu Zifu was too lazy to answer her and insteady lay down ignoring her. He wanted to sleep but Su Qing didn't want to.

Hearing no response, she opened the quilt and ready to get up, lowering her head and happened to see her front clothes were opened apart, exposing her clavicle, the redness from shyness has spread from her face all the way to her earlobe, didn't have to care much, she hurriedly put on her coat with her bare feet and left the room after a simple tiny up. When she opened the door, she saw Chuntao was waiting outside, the moment she saw Su Qing she let out a sigh of relief.

Chuntao reached out her hands to smooth the wrinkled on Su Qing's dress. She took a peek inside and wishered, "Your Highness are you hungry?"

"En, a little bit."

At first, Su Qing wanted to let Chuntao go to the kitchen to get the food, but when she thought about Gu Zifu's body injury, she decided to go asj Shuangqiao herself.

As she pa.s.sed by the yard, she saw Si Ting was practicing his sword there. When he noticed her there, he almost fell on the gra.s.s and looked at her in surprise, "….did the sun rise from the west today?"

Shuangqiao and Si Ting have an easy going personality, normally Su Qing also doesn't like to put on airs of the princess. In short, the relationship between them has become more and more harmonious.

"No." Su Qing shook her head. Seeing the two staring at her in shock, Su Qing lowered her head in embarra.s.sment and looked at her shoes as she continues, "Just that the other day I heard eunuch Changsheng mentioned a few words about his injury and today I asked the Seventh Lord, but he didn't answer me and went back to sleep. I'm thinking since both of you have served him for a long time, you should probably know something."

"Well, indeed the Seventh Lord has stopped drinking medicine for a long time."

On the south side of the Gu courtyard has an open s.p.a.ce, which is normally used for planting flowers and gra.s.ses, as well as some vegetable seeds that were planted earlier by Su Ting. At this moment, Shuangqiao was cleaning the vegetables that just picked up, upon hearing Su Qing, she thought to herself for awhile and said, "The last time war at the northern border, one of the Seventh Lord's confidant colluded with the enemy, he was not only put poison in the military camp, but during the time the two armies were fighting each other, he took the opportunity and stabbed the Seventh Lord from behind. While describing it, Shuangqiao shook off the water droplet on her hand and pointed at her shoulder, "I heard that the cut  was very severe, one could see the bone clearly. If it wasn't for the Seventh Lord reacted to it on time, I am afraid his arm would….."

"Shuangqiao." Si Ting retracted his sword and interrupted her from saying.

Shuangqiao smiled lightly, "This has been more than a year since it happened. It's no harm to say it now." She then added, "Great, the Seventh Lord's medicine is still left. Let me go prepare it. If the madam brings it over, perhaps the Seventh Lord would drink a mouthful or two."

Su Qing who was in trance while listening. Once she heard Shuangqiao's suggestions, she was taken aback and looked up at her, "Ah?"

There is a saying, the fingers are far away from the hard, but just a single broken finger, it was already extremely painful not to mention if an arm was cut by a sword exposed the bone, how painful it was?!!

Beside, based on the Seventh Lord's conceited and proud personality. if his arm really broke, one afraid that….

Su Qing did not dare to think further and only left them with a sentence, "I'll come to take the medicine in a bit." She then turned to leave the yard.

After she left, Shuangqiao finished washing the green vegetables and put them on the table. Taking the handkerchief to wipe her hand and asked Si Ting, "Why did you interrupt me?" 

Si Ting furrowed his brows, "That's the Seventh Lord's matters, you shouldn't tell her."

"She's our madam and her marriage was bestowed by the emperor. She's not an outsider."

"But she's not really the Seventh Lord's wife" Si Ting argued back.

In his heart, the Seventh Lord is more important than his life. Even if he has to die, he has to protect this master till the end.

Shuangqiao softened her eyes and said, "Let me ask you, if you say by the Seventh Lord's bed while he was sleeping, what would the Seventh Lord react?"

"……" Si Ting looked up staring strangely at her for a while and said it without even changing his face, "Seventh Lord doesn't hit women…."

Shuangqiao seemed to hear the world biggest joke, she bent over and laughed until her stomach hurt before stopping, then walked over to get the basket of wood and handed it to him, "Go makes fire. This is not a woman's job."

"Si Ting, "……"

When Su Qing came to take the bow of medicine, she also took a plate of pine nut candy along. Because the scent of pine sugar was too attractive, Su Qing couldn't help but snuck a piece into her mouth. The candy just pa.s.sed the corner of her mouth, she happened to see Gu Li viciously staring at her, cousin almost choked with the pine sugar stuck in her throat. Coughing softly, her little turned slightly red.

Everyone in the mansion is still busy making arrangements for the evening party. The Old Madam was specially asked the maid to take out the jade bracelets that she hasn't worn for many years, so she could wear them to join this lively occasion. However, did not know what this Young Master was thinking, once he overheard that the banquet would not invite the people of Gu courtyard, he was furious and immediately rushed to the Gu courtyard.

Others are afraid of the Seventh Lord, he is also afraid.

G.o.d knows how much courage it took for him to say those words earlier that morning.

Gu Li stared at the medicine now in her hands, as he stepped forward and said to her in a fierce way: “You poisonous little girl, are you going to give the seventh uncle poison!” 

A second ago called her a poisonous woman, this time called her a poisonous little girl.

Su Qing is afraid that he will throw away the medicine in a moment of furious, thus she moved sideways avoiding him, slightly furrowed her brows and said: “What poisonous little girl, this is the medicine for the Seventh Lord, be careful.” 

“Medicine for seventh uncle?” “Gu Li was taken aback, "Is the Seventh uncle not feeling well?” 

Su Qing did not want to entangle with this child, she pushed him out of the way with the medicine in her hands making Gu Li keep retreating unknowingly. It was not until he saw Su Qing pushing the door and went inside, he finally realized it. Scratching his head in embarra.s.sment, walking back and forth and at last squatted down on the doorstep looking  at the sky foolishly.

When Su Qing crept to push the door in, she saw Gu Zifu wearing the inner robe, standing barefoot in front of the window, hearing the movement and only turned and looked at it, and then turned back.

She did not know why this man looked so listless. Probably because he is a moody person who only likes to play around.

Although it is almost June, Su Qing somewhat still feels cold.

She put the tray on the table, stared at Gu Zifu's back and whispered, “Seventh Lord, it's time to drink medicine.” “

“Don't drink.” “The answer this time is clear-cut.

Su Qing also does not like to drink medicine, but she thought of Shuangqiao's expression, she can not help but shiver. With GuZifu's att.i.tude, did not know how many times this medicine has been put off.

En, if Gu Zifu died of illness, it has nothing to do with her anyway. However, he was injured, he should properly drink medicine, she still hopes to see his smiling face. 

Well, the brain has a problem, it also needs to drink the medicine.

Su Qing put the medicine next to the window and left the pine sugar on the edge of the tray. She then carefully pulled the edge of Gu Zifu's robe, timidly asked: “Seventh Lord, I brought you pine sugar and medicine, you drink it ok?” 

The Seventh Lord lowered his gaze looking at the thick black hot medicine on the table and glanced at the little girl behind him.

“You're sick, like to cry, you drink it.” “

Su Qing: “……" You are the one who is sick!

She thought about it for a bit, her eyes suddenly glowed with a shimmer, and the corner of her mouth bloomed with a smile exposing her cute dimples, "Seventh Lord, are you afraid of drinking medicine?” 

Gu Zifu lowered his head, narrowed his fox-like eyes and slightly bent his body to be at Su Qing's nose level, reaching out his slender fingers to poke her dimple, all of sudden his fingers switched to pinch her cheek instead and said in a teasing sounds: “Say it, did you eat something behind this lord's back?” 

“No, no…” Su Qing was feeling pain, with tears br.i.m.m.i.n.g in her eyes, she subconsciously raised her hand to separate his hand, suddenly a “pop”, her hand was beaten back.

This time she's really crying, “… Seventh Lord, just one candy…”

Gu Zi fu released his hand and picked up one of the pine candy looking at it with interest. The amber color reflected with the sunlight looking very good.

"Seventh Lord,” Su Qing murmured, "I heard Shuangqiao said your shoulder is injured, also refused to drink medicine, the body is yours, it's better not to be willful."

Willful?

Gu Zifu sneered, loosened his fingers and the pine candy dropped to the ground.

Su Qing looked at him at a loss.

“Clear out.” He declared.

His voice was a little colder than before.

Su Qing saw his abnormal appearance, she did not dare to say anymore, bit the lower lip as she bowed his head and closed the door on the way out.

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Gu Zifu picked up another pine candy, put it into his mouth, slightly narrowed his eyes as he looked out of the window in trance.

The whole person was covered in a violent aura. 

Have been recuperated for more than a year, if continuing resting there is no different from a waste.
