Chapter 247 Liu

Prince Changxing sat in the front hall, and Liu accompanied him, bringing him a cup of hot tea.

"Prince, Master Mingjue has been treating Zhen'er's illness. Now that he is getting better, why do you want to change his doctor?" Liu looked at the man in front of her with a sturdy body and a heroic spirit, and couldn't hide her spring feelings. She wanted to find a few words to say to him: "Over the years, all the doctors and imperial doctors in Xiliang have treated Zhen'er, but there is no improvement."

Prince Changxing didn't say anything.

Liu said softly: "Prince, did you find a new doctor?"

"Go see Zhen'er." Prince Changxing sent Liu away.

The smile on Liu's mouth disappeared, and she pursed her red lips and looked at Prince Changxing with resentment: "Prince, do you think I'm noisy? Or are you blaming me and refusing to forgive?"

Prince Changxing was annoyed: "What do you want to hear? I said I was unwilling to forgive, and you are making yourself unhappy. I said I never cared, will you believe it?"

Liu's face turned pale and she tightly grasped the handkerchief in her hand.

Her mother was from Xihe Town, Guangling Prefecture, Great Zhou Dynasty. Before Liu got married, she only occasionally visited Xihe Town to visit her relatives. Later, less than a year after getting married, the man died. She never found another man to start a family, but just picked a good-looking guard to keep by her side to relieve her loneliness.

Until her grandmother's 60th birthday, she lived in Xihe Town for a while. When she met Gu Qingsong who came to her grandmother's house to sell wild game, she felt that her heart was alive.

She found out about Gu Qingsong's family and found that he had a wife and a son. After all, this man was nearly 40 and so charming that he couldn't be a bachelor.

Probably the more she couldn't get it, the more itchy she felt. Liu ordered the servants to tell Gu Qingsong to send wild game every day, as much as possible.

Every day when she couldn't eat it, Liu missed it more and thought that a fleeting love affair would be fine.

She calculated the day when Gu Qingsong came and specially fell into the river to call for help.

Gu Qingsong was an upright man and it was impossible for him to watch someone die without helping.

As Liu expected, he jumped into the river with a pole, tied her hands to the pole, and dragged her ashore, never touching anything other than her hands.

Liu was so eager to win that she really wanted to pick him off and taste him.

She showed her courtesy to Gu Qingsong, but Gu Qingsong didn't respond to her. Liu was angry, so she asked some hooligans to stop Gu Qingsong and beat him up, robbing him of his money, pretending to be robbed by bandits to vent her anger.

Gu Qingsong's boxing skills were very good, and those people not only didn't get anything good, but one of them had his leg broken by Gu Qingsong.

Her lover was ignored by her, and seeing this, he gave her an idea: "Since Madam wants to get him, this matter is not simple? He goes to the mountain to hunt every day. You find someone to ambush him on the mountain, beat him to a serious injury, and take him to Xiliang while he is still alive. Tell Gu Qingsong that he was revenged by the bastard with a broken leg and slaughtered his entire family for blood and hatred."

Liu was tempted. Gu Qingsong was a powerful man, and ordinary people could not do anything to him. She left the matter to her lover and hired a desperate man to ambush Gu Qingsong.

The lover was murderous and asked someone to kill Gu Qingsong. Gu Qingsong was seriously injured and fell off the cliff. She found him and asked someone to throw Gu Qingsong's bloodstained clothes and shoes on the mountain to create the illusion that he was eaten by wild beasts. She did not dare to stay and directly used silver to hire a doctor to go back to Xiliang together.

Liu was afraid that her lover would do something bad, so she killed him privately.

Gu Qingsong was injured so badly that he was in a coma for more than half a year before waking up. His legs could not walk. During the recovery period, Liu told him that someone was looking for revenge, his wife and children were dead, and she had to bring him to Xiliang to avoid disaster.

Gu Qingsong was grateful to her, but he wanted to return to Da Zhou.

Liu was lying, so she naturally couldn't let him go back alone. So she used the excuse that he couldn't walk and that she was going to her grandparents' house, so it would be convenient to take care of him on the way. She also knew where the two people's graves were, so Gu Qingsong didn't refuse.

It was raining heavily that day. They were in the carriage and went to the old house of the Gu family. They didn't get out of the carriage. The village chief and his family came out of the Gu house. Gu Qingsong's face changed immediately.

Someone returned to the village and passed by the carriage. The voice came intermittently through the rain curtain: "The old man Gu was too miserable... he couldn't be saved."

Liu's heart was beating like a pounding, and she almost thought she was going to be exposed. She regretted not hiring someone to kill his wife and children.

Fortunately, she heard the words of cutting off the beginning and the end, which just suited her mind. She had people watching the Gu family all the time. Of course, she knew that his wife had sold the old house and lived in a dilapidated thatched house. One of the two children she gave birth to was in poor health. Today, she took him to seek medical treatment. It must be that the child could not be saved.

"Don't be sad. When you have power, come back to avenge them." Liu didn't dare to stay any longer, fearing that Gu Qingsong's lie would be exposed as soon as he entered the village: "The enemies are still there. They know you are not dead, so they will definitely attack again. You are inconvenient to move and have no ability to fight back. Maybe they will implicate me. I will take you to see their tombs and then make a long-term plan."

The tomb was also a fake tomb made by Liu. It was made when Gu Qingsong was set up, so he didn't see any clues. The man guarded the tomb and was rained on for a day and a night. When he got back on the carriage, he fell ill and had a high fever.

Liu brought the man back to Xiliang. She redeemed the silver jewelry that the woman had pawned to treat the child and gave it to Gu Qingsong as a reminder.

The moment Gu Qingsong saw the silver ornament, he believed Liu's words.

He no longer thought about returning to the Great Zhou. After he was able to move freely, he refused her father's arrangement and joined the army.

Liu knew that he was asking about the news of Guangling Prefecture's success in the imperial examination. His eldest son was very good at studying. When Gu Qingsong got into trouble, he was already a scholar. With his talent, it would be very easy for him to pass the imperial examination, but he was not on the list. Gu Qingsong did not give up and waited for another three years. Gu Huaizhi's name was still not on the list of successful candidates.

At that time, Gu Qingsong had been crowned king and could not easily go to Da Zhou, so he sent his confidant to Da Zhou to investigate. Unfortunately, the confidant was won over by Liu, who lied to him and told Gu Qingsong that he had brought the desperado to justice.

Liu was gentle and considerate, and took care of Gu Qingsong meticulously, but she still could not warm Gu Qingsong's heart. Later, when he was drunk, she deliberately made up the fact that they were husband and wife. Gu Qingsong did not mention marrying her until Liu said that she was pregnant. Gu Qingshan gave her a name, but that was all.

Until the child was born, because of congenital deficiency and weak body, he was cherished by Gu Qingsong.

Over the years, Gu Qingsong's days in the capital were few and far between, and he didn't even have a chance to say a word to her.

Liu knew that Gu Qingsong blamed her for climbing into his bed while he was drunk, and didn't give her any respect at all.

Thinking of these past events, Liu felt extremely wronged. She didn't know what was so good about that woman, vulgar and barbaric, not as pretty as her, but why did he keep thinking about her?

"Qingsong, I said I didn't mean it, will you believe me?" Liu bit her lip, "You know how strong you are, I... I can't get away from you at all."

Gu Qingsong pulled his lip, revealing sarcasm.

Liu took a deep breath and wanted to change the subject, but she saw the door servant rushing over: "Prince, Princess, Doctor Su is here."
