As he thought about it, for some reason, Lu Que suddenly thought of Gu Qingcheng. Thinking about what happened in the academy yesterday, for some reason, Lu Que felt a sense of warmth rising up from the bottom of his heart. He wasn't sure why this was the case. Although it was their first time meeting, he had a better impression of her than his cousin Yu Tianxiang.

Remembering that pair of soft and delicate hands were pinching his face, Lu Que blushed once again and rubbed his face with his right hand.

At this moment, Lu Que noticed that his cousin Yu Tian Xiang's behavior yesterday was a little strange. At the very least, it was different from what he had expected. Compared to the dignified and graceful image from before, she was much more lively and talkative, so much so that the entire scene was dominated by her words. Lu Que couldn't figure out if it was due to her personality or something else.

Especially when he was leaving, Gu Qingcheng had once said two words to him in silence. Now that he thought about it, it should have been 'careful', and she had even glanced behind her. At that time, only Yu Tian Xiang and Wu Yun Chang could be seen turning around and walking towards the Snowy Flower Valley. Was she telling him to be careful of Yu Tian Xiang, or Wu Yun Chang? And why would she say such things to him the first time they met? After that, he had just left the academy when he encountered an assassination attempt. Could this have something to do with his cousin or the dancers' daughter? How did she know? And why tell yourself to be careful?

Lu Que suddenly felt that he was plagued by countless questions. The more he thought about it, the more troubled he became. However, he was certain that what happened outside the academy yesterday had nothing to do with these three.

As he thought about it, the sun had already risen outside. He could clearly hear that there were already people who had risen up to sweep the courtyard. Occasionally, a few whispers could be heard.

Soon, the door of his house was pushed open, and two familiar footsteps sounded out. Lu Que knew that the people who came were his father and mother. Lu Que's heart skipped a beat and he immediately shut his eyes and adjusted his breathing.

"Huh?" Lu Chun walked up to the bed and found that his son Lu Que's pulse was steady and strong. He looked much better than yesterday. Other than the fact that his vital energy and blood had been depleted, his internal organs were all healed.

"Brother Chun, what's wrong with Que?" "Whether or not my injuries have worsened, I will now invite Teacher Yao over." Hearing Lu Chun's strange voice, Yu Chuqing was anxious. She thought that her son was in a bad condition, so she turned around and walked towards the door.

Lu Chun held his wife's hand and looked at his son, who had his eyes closed and was breathing in an orderly manner. Lu Chun held his wife's hand, and looked at his son, who had his eyes closed and was breathing in an orderly manner.

Lu Chun lifted Lu Que's right hand, rolled up his sleeves and untied a medicinal cloth that was wrapped around Lu Que's arm. On the cloth, there were some dried up ointment and blood scabs. Looking at Lu Que's arm, the wound caused by the saber light had actually healed completely. The wound was as clean as new, not even a scar remained.

"How is this possible?" She clearly remembered that there was a wound a few inches long there. Yesterday evening, she sent out all her servants to change the medicine for her son, and even secretly shed a lot of tears.

"Stinking brat, you're still pretending?" Seeing Lu Que roll his eyes, Lu Chun knew that Lu Que must have woken up a long time ago. With a flick of his finger, a chestnut landed on Lu Que's forehead.

"Husband!" Yu Yuqing quickly stopped him. One must know that her son was still injured. Was there really a need to be a father? However, before she could finish her sentence, she saw her son sit up on the bed with a 'whoosh'. His hands were covering his forehead as he was crying out in pain. He couldn't help but be shocked and then feel overjoyed. Fei'er, you're awake? "Where do you feel uncomfortable, mother will call the imperial physician over right now."

"Mother, your son is fine." After kneading for a long time, Lu Que finally let go of his hand. Just now, he felt as if his forehead had been pierced by a needle. Only then did he sit up.

"Husband, look." Yu Chu Qing looked at Lu Chun.

"Other than the fact that my Qi and blood have been slightly damaged, my internal injuries have already healed." Lu Chun nodded, then said to Lu Que, "Brat, your injuries are all healed now, but you're still lying on the bed pretending to be asleep. Do you know how worried your mother is about you? Last night, your mother didn't even sleep, and as soon as the sun rose she dragged your father here to see you. "

"Then isn't father worried about me?" Lu Que looked at his father and blinked.

"Em ~" Lu Chun couldn't help but be a little speechless. He was naturally worried about his son, but to say it in front of his son was something he couldn't do.

"Your father also spent the night here and there. Naturally, he's worried about you." Seeing that her son was fine, Yu Yuqing put down the big rock in her heart, and revealed a knowing smile on her face. At this moment, she felt that as long as the two most important men in her life were safe and sound, then it was the most important to her. She was now regretting that she had never returned to the mountain. Even though her life there was a bit difficult, not as luxurious as it was now, she was still more at ease and did not have so many worries. It was only at this moment that she truly felt that the stability of the court and the doing of the world were not as important as these two people.

Hearing his wife say this, Lu Chun looked a little embarrassed. He quickly changed the topic, "Jian-er, why did you recover from your injuries in one night?"

"It's Big Violet and Little Violet. When I left, they gave me two drops of phoenix tears." Lu Que thought about it and felt that there was no need to hide it.

Lu Chun and Yu Chu Qing looked at each other, finally feeling relieved. With the protection of the phoenix's reincarnation ability, recuperating from injuries like this in one night was normal. With the miraculous power of the Phoenix's Tears, his son would have more methods to protect himself in the future.

"Ju'er, many people know about your injuries. You recovered completely in a single night, and some of them are just too shocking. So you're going to be in bed for a while. " Seeing her son nod in agreement, but feeling depressed, her face twisted into a bitter expression. She couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, "I will take away your maid and servant in the yard and leave only guards outside. If you want to eat, you can let them notify the kitchen to cook, tell them whatever you want to read, other than not being able to leave the yard, you can do anything else, can you do this?"

"Fine." Lu QIu nodded his head unwillingly. Even though he rarely went out, he still wanted to get to know a lot of the students who were staying in the capital after the exam ended. Especially Ye Zhiqiu and Yan Zheng, he had read their essays and was quite curious about them.

"Right." Lu Que suddenly thought of the assassination attempt yesterday and asked, "Father, Mother, who saved me yesterday? "Also, how are Zhuge and Duanmu's group doing?"

"It was Duke An who appeared in time to save you." Lu Chun said. " "Zhuge Yan and Duanmu Ye only suffered some superficial wounds. It was nothing serious."

"They're fine, so I'm relieved. Half a month later. Your son is going to the Luo Residence to thank Duke An Guang. " Lu Que nodded and relaxed. If Duanmu Ye and Zhuge Yan hadn't delayed the masked man's two moves, he probably wouldn't have been able to take so many blows. After all, there was a difference of two realms between them. On top of that, he had to show his sincerity by coming here to repay the debt of gratitude and saving his life.

"That's only natural. After you've recovered from your injuries, prepare a gift for your father to accompany you to the Duke of An's estate." Lu Chun nodded his head in satisfaction.

"What about the masked man? Have you caught it? " Lu Que asked again.

"The masked man had already committed suicide by taking poison when An Jiu arrived." Seeing that her son kept asking, Yu Yuqing interrupted, "Jiu'er, you don't need to care about this matter anymore. Leave it to your father and me. No matter who is behind this, your father and I will find him."

"Your mother is right. You don't need to think too much about it. Leave it to me and your mother. Even though your internal injuries have already healed, your vital energy and blood have not recovered, so you should stay in your room to rest. " Lu Chun took out an embroidered gold note from his sleeve and said with a strange expression, "Yesterday, I heard that you were injured and many people wanted to come visit. However, they were stopped by your mother and me. Your mother and I heard that the two of you chatted very well yesterday. Or is it not to be seen? "

"Em ~" Lu Que rubbed his nose awkwardly.

Seeing her son's embarrassed expression, Yu Yuqing also teased, "That little girl from the Gu family, her character, looks, and talent are all excellent among the younger generation in the capital. I met her once a few days ago, and she really was a beauty that could topple empires just like her name. If you intend to, Mother and your father will propose marriage to the Duke of Dingguo's estate.

Hearing his mother's words, Lu Que felt even more embarrassed. He lowered his head and whispered, "Mother, your son is only 14 years old. He's still young."

Seeing Lu Que's actions, Yu Chuqing and Lu Chun smiled at each other.

"Since he's still young, let's wait for another two years." Yu Chu Qing smiled and said, "I heard that you were injured and will be visiting the mansion today. Fei'er, what do you mean by that? Or is it not to be seen? "

"See you then." Seeing that the smile on his parents' face was growing more and more bizarre, Lu Que lifted his head up instead. His eyes regained their clarity and there was no longer any hint of embarrassment in them.

Lu Chun and Yu Chu Qing nodded in satisfaction when they saw their son like this. They left their posts and reminded him to rest before leaving.

Not long after, someone brought over a bowl of blood and qi replenishing porridge, which was made from a variety of dietary ingredients. Lu Que finished eating and lay back down on his bed. He then picked up a copy of the < Eastside Classic > and started flipping through it. Perhaps it was due to the loss of his vital energy and blood, but before he could turn two pages, Lu Que had already fallen asleep.

He did not know how long he slept, but Lu Que felt that he was beside him and that there was a tiny sound of breathing. Only then did he wake up. When he opened his eyes, he discovered a pair of bright and beautiful eyes staring at him unblinkingly. He shook his head, and realized that Gu Qingcheng had already appeared out of nowhere.

"You're awake?"

A voice that belonged solely to Gu Qingcheng rang in Lu Que's ears. Her gentle and melodious voice was so piercing to the heart. Although it was only a short word, there was a hint of indescribable charm within the gentleness of the word.

"Sister Gu, you came. Why didn't you wake me up?" Lu Que feigned to get up, but was held back by Gu Qingcheng.

"You just got injured, so don't move."

"Sister Gu, when did you arrive?" Lu Que did not persist in getting up as well. He still remembered that he was "severely injured".

"I've been here for a while." Gu Qingcheng's face turned slightly red as she recalled the situation when she first entered. At this moment, the Grand Princess and the Duke of Wei were both not in her residence. That old housekeeper, Uncle Fu, was extremely attentive to her. When they arrived at the entrance of Lu Que's small courtyard, the guards called out for their little mistress in unison. Without even asking, they let them in.

"Thank you, Sister Gu, for coming to visit me. We just met yesterday for the first time, and I'm really sorry for troubling you." Lu Que sat up in his chair. Seeing that he was about to sit up, Gu Qingcheng carefully helped him up. She then picked up a few cushions and placed them on his back.

"To you, it was the first time you saw me yesterday, but to me, it is not." Gu Qingcheng looked at Lu Que with a complicated expression in her eyes.

"Huh?" Lu Que was taken aback, but he couldn't remember when or where he had met this beautiful sister.

"You certainly don't remember. You were very young." A flash of reminiscence appeared in Gu Qingcheng's bright eyes as she continued, "The first time I saw you was when you were one year old. At that time, I was five years old. Father brought me to the Marquis of Martialism's estate to attend your capture ceremony. "

"Huh?" Lu Que's mouth was agape. He had captured Zhou, so it was normal for his father to send a good friend over, but he really hadn't thought of it. If this elder sister of the Gu family was also present, then wouldn't she have seen his open crotch? As he thought of this, Lu Que couldn't help glancing at his waist.

Upon seeing his expression, how could Gu Qingcheng not know what he was thinking? She reprimanded him, "What are you thinking? It was winter then, and you were wearing a lot."

"It's okay, it's okay." Lu Que heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. If this sister had seen him in his open pants before, then he really didn't know how to get along with her anymore.

Gu Qingcheng rolled her beautiful eyes at Lu Que and continued, "Back then, my brother wasn't even born yet and this is also the first time I've seen someone capture Zhou. I'm very curious. I remember that the couch was full of things. There were ink, pens, ink, paper, daggers, swords, military strategies, literary classics, as well as the official Tiger Tally. There was also an abacus of money. The Grand Princess carried you out, and everyone stood in a circle, waiting for you to pick them. "

"Then what did I choose?" Lu Que was also very curious as he had never heard his parents talk about this before.

"You …" A blush appeared on Gu Qingcheng's cheeks. "You didn't choose anything over those things."

"Nothing?" Lu Que was surprised. So many things, he had not chosen anything back then.

"Well, you didn't choose any of those things." Gu Qingcheng repeated.

"Those things?" Only then did Lu Que notice Gu Qingcheng's words, "Then what did I choose?" Lu Que asked curiously.

"You …" Gu Qingcheng bit her lower lip, hesitating for a moment before she slowly said, "You chose me."

"Huh?" My God! Lu Que had never thought that it would be such an answer. He could not help but feel his heart tremble and his eyes widened.

"You also heard about it from Tian Xiang yesterday. It was that day when my father told Marquis Wu Ping, oh "Gu Qingcheng paused for a moment," To the Duke of Wei that he wanted to betroth me to you as his wife, and even asked if I was willing. At that time, I didn't understand what you meant, and seeing how cute you are, I agreed. "

"Yes?" Lu Que's eyes widened.

"Yes, I agreed." Gu Qingcheng glanced at Lu Que, feeling very dissatisfied with the expression on his face. She then extended her right hand and pinched his face, staring at him with her beautiful eyes as she said, "You promised, what's wrong? Do you think it's a loss to marry me? "

"No, I didn't mean that. "No, I don't feel like I'm losing out." Lu Que's face was in pain as he stammered.

"Hmph ~" Gu Qingcheng let out a sweet snort before lowering her hand, "Now that you're injured, I'll deal with you after you've recovered."

"Sister Gu, although what happened was right, it was still something that happened when she was young. Daqian people are open, unlike the previous dynasty, the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker. Besides, our two families don't have a contract for marriage. Sister Gu, you are a peerless beauty. You will definitely be able to find a fated one. " He had lived in the mountain of no return since young and was young, so he was not very familiar with the affairs between men and women. Although he had a good impression of this big sister from the Gu family, he had never thought of marrying her into his family. That was why he said this.

"We have never been engaged, and I never thought of marrying a little kid. But my father has always told me that when I grow up, I will marry into the Lu family. I want to be virtuous, virtuous, and virtuous. If you were me, what would happen to you? " Even so, her voice was still as melodious as the sound of a bird, pleasant to the ear.

Lu Que glanced at Gu Qingcheng and rubbed his nose, sighing in his heart. This Lord Prefect was truly a believer. His family had been trapped in the mountain for 12 years, and after knowing that his family had disappeared, he still told his daughter this. He didn't know if he was being honest or stubborn.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Gu Qingcheng saw that Lu Que had no reaction at all and was only looking at her. She felt a little angry in her heart. She had been harboring grudges against the Lu family's Little Que for more than ten years. Even now, she wasn't sure what kind of relationship she had with Lu Que.

Lu Que's ranking in the Grand Examination had been pushed down to third place by the Grand Princess. This was not a secret among the rich and influential of their family, especially her father, who was now one of the top three ranks in the military. When she heard that Lu Que was the leader of the group, she was inexplicably excited for a period of time. Yesterday, when she heard that Lu Que had been assassinated and heavily injured, she had even accidentally sent a name scroll over to visit him. Last night, she had been tossing and turning and did not fall asleep even after most of the night.
