Sharp-tongued, Softhearted, Tsundere Lin Still Obediently Carried This Prince Back to Her Room
He pointed to the tabletop.
"Since the meeting has already been held, then I, your husband, will set three conditions."
Everyone looked at him.
Gu Moran looked at Shen Ling'er: "First, no one is allowed to overstep the bounds of the government and interfere with the Shun'an Lane case."
Shen Ling'er, clutching the medicine box, nodded reluctantly.
"OK."
Gu Moran then looked at Liu Ruyan: "Secondly, we should discuss all the information before deciding where to send it."
Liu Ruyan pressed her fingertips against the envelope.
"Can."
Gu Moran continued, "Third, anyone who wants to use their family members, caravans, former subordinates, or disciples should tell me or Su Yao first."
Lin Qingdai snorted coldly.
"I went to the Grand Commandant's Residence; Su Yao has already agreed."
Gu Moran noticed the faint scab on the side of her neck.
"You can go."
"Don't scare Grand Commandant Lin anymore."
Lin Qingdai turned her face away.
"I don't need you to teach me."
"And don't ask for soldiers or guards on my behalf."
"And don't let Grand Commandant Lin think I'm planning a rebellion."
Lin Qingdai snorted.
"I'm not that stupid."
Murong Xue looked at her.
You're not often seen being smart.
Lin Qingdai's hand touched the hilt of the sword.
Murong Xue also placed her hand near the knife.
Su Yao placed the tea lid back on the cup.
clatter.
A very soft sound.
The two of them stopped at the same time.
Gu Moran found it rather strange.
"Can Madam Su keep you under control now?"
Shen Ling'er answered quickly.
" Sister Su is now our temporary leader."
"Temporary?"
"That's right," Shen Ling'er said, "We'll make you a full-fledged employee after your accident."
"..."
Thanks.
That's quite auspicious.
Gu Moran looked at Su Yao.
Su Yao sat beside the main seat, her sleeves tucked under the case files, offering neither explanation nor denial.
She definitely has the ability to command the scene.
Murong Xue raised her chin.
"Then I shall be the Prison-Breaking Hall."
Gu Moran looked at her.
" The Prison-Breaking Hall must be sealed off; just hearing about it is bad luck."
Murong Xue wanted to retort, but seeing the look Su Yao gave her, she snorted and shut up.
Gu Moran turned to Su Yao.
You cannot go to the Hall of Supreme Ultimate and the Eastern Palace in person.
Su Yao said, "I will ask my father for help."
"He won't let anything happen to you in order to protect himself."
Gu Moran nodded.
Su Wenyuan might not be willing to save his son-in-law.
But I will definitely save the Su Clan.
That's enough.
Just then, footsteps sounded outside the hall.
The servant knelt at the door, holding a sealed container from the palace.
"Your Highness, an urgent message has arrived from the palace."
Uncle Fu took the sealed container, which Gao Fu had delivered. He opened it, glanced at it, and his expression changed.
Gu Moran reached out and unfolded his hand.
There are only two lines of text above.
His Majesty will personally interrogate Chu Tianxing tomorrow.
The second prince was to enter the palace on the same day to present the elixir.
Shen Ling'er leaned over to look at it, and then pressed the lid of the medicine box shut with a click.
"Goodness."
"A miracle doctor in one case, a filial son who offered his elixir."
Gu Moran folded the letter, looked up, and gazed at the six people in the hall.
"Tomorrow at the Hall of Supreme Ultimate, I want to see how my second brother gets the elixir to Father Emperor's lips."
Shen Ling'er blinked.
"Then what?"
Gu Moran placed the letter on top of the case file.
"Then see if he's a filial son."
"Still a funeral attendant."
He yawned, his eyelids drooped, and he couldn't hold them open for long.
"We'll deal with tomorrow's problems tomorrow..."
He swayed to the right halfway through his sentence.
Shen Ling'er was the closest, but because she was short, she couldn't reach it when she stretched out her hand.
Gu Moran's head slammed into Lin Qingdai's shoulder.
Lin Qingdai stood frozen in place, her hands still on the scabbard, her legs rooted to the spot, like a stunned goose, completely at a loss.
Gu Moran's forehead was pressed against the outside of her collarbone, and his breath sprayed onto the fabric of her collar, so evenly that it didn't seem fake.
The six women in the hall looked at each other.
Shen Ling'er leaned forward and squeezed Gu Moran's wrist, then flipped his eyelids.
"His pulse is weak, indicating deficiency of both qi and blood; he hasn't slept well for several days."
She let go of his hand, opened the medicine box, and stuffed a ginseng slice into Gu Moran's mouth.
"I was genuinely exhausted, I wasn't faking it."
Murong Xue walked over and bent down to look at Gu Moran, which was hanging on Lin Qingdai's shoulder.
"Is his health that bad?"
Shen Ling'er rolled her eyes at her.
"You think everyone eats beef every day like you?"
Su Yao stood up and looked at Lin Qingdai.
"Help him back."
Lin Qingdai's neck stiffened as she turned halfway towards Su Yao.
Why me?
Su Yao glanced at the head on her shoulder.
"Because he's already clinging to you."
Lin Qingdai gritted her teeth.
I'll put him on the ground; whoever wants to hug him can do so.
Murong Xue immediately reached out her hand.
"I helped you move him to your yard, and he chose to faint on you; this is the will of the Eternal Heaven."
She grabbed Gu Moran, preparing to throw him onto her back.
Su Yao reacted quickly and stopped her.
"Don't use the motion of carrying a sheep."
Murong Xue was puzzled.
Is there a difference between carrying a person and carrying a sheep?
Seeing her serious expression, Shen Ling'er swallowed back the smile that was on her lips.
"The difference is that once the sheep wakes up, it won't hold a grudge against you."
Xie Wanqing stood to the side and whispered something.
"Let Sister Lin do it. Sister Lin is strong enough and can carry it steadily."
Lin Qingdai glared at her.
" Xie Wanqing, why are you so talkative? Have you never been beaten before?"
Xie Wanqing took a step back, holding the plain paper in front of her chest.
Liu Ruyan got up from the window, walked to Lin Qingdai, and steadied Gu Moran's head, which had been tilted to the side.
" Iron Plum Courtyard is closest to the main hall."
She looked at Lin Qingdai.
"Take him back to rest first. We don't trust outsiders to take care of him at a time like this."
"It's not too late to send him back to the main courtyard tomorrow morning."
That's a perfectly reasonable statement.
Lin Qingdai could find no reason to refute it.
She looked down at the man leaning on her shoulder.
His eyelashes covered his face, his lips were chapped, and his complexion was paler than candlelight.
He had just returned from the Hall of Supreme Ultimate, and although he was extremely tired, he didn't go straight to his room to sleep.
He even came to the main hall, attempting to stop them, and said he would personally intercept the knife.
Lin Qingdai gritted her teeth a couple of times, bent down, put Gu Moran's arm around her neck, supported his waist with one hand, and placed the other hand on the back of his legs.
She effortlessly performed a princess carry.
"Nobody come with us."
She carried the person and took two steps toward the door, then stopped.
"Especially you, Murong Xue."
Murong Xue frowned.
I'll take it to your door.
"Need not."
Without turning her head, Lin Qingdai carried Gu Moran and disappeared at the end of the corridor.
(๑·̀ㅂ·́)و✧
Shen Ling'er lay on the table, her chin resting on the lid of the medicine box.
Do you think Sister Lin will kick her husband out of bed tonight?
Su Yao tidied the table without replying.
Murong Xue answered seriously.
"No, she's too strong; she'd kick someone and hurt them."
Shen Ling'er looked at her.
" Sister Murong, you really are a very honest person."
Xie Wanqing put away the letter, walked to the door, and glanced back at Su Yao.
Su Yao picked up Gu Moran's empty teacup, wiped the rim with a handkerchief, and put it back in its place.
"Go back and rest."
"There might be a tough battle tomorrow."
Iron Plum Courtyard.
Lin Qingdai threw Gu Moran onto the bed, using considerable force.
Gu Moran's head hit the edge of the pillow, and he mumbled something indistinctly before turning over and burying his face in the blankets.
Lin Qingdai stood by the bed, panting.
I'm not tired, I'm angry.
This person weighed over 140 pounds. From the main hall to the Iron Plum Courtyard, they passed through two corridors and a corner.
The short sword at her waist struck the door frame three times.
My shoes sank into two puddles.
A red mark was left on the heel of his right palm from the brass buckle on his belt.
That jerk! He clearly has feelings for me, that's why he deliberately fainted on me. Don't think I don't know.
Lin Qingdai looked down at the unsuspecting man on the bed.
Gu Moran lay on his side, one arm pressed under his body.
The belt was half loose, the collar was open, revealing the old, still-fading scar between her neck and collarbone.
It was left behind at the Grand Commandant's Residence's drill ground.
Lin Qingdai's gaze lingered on the scar for a couple of moments before she sighed.
She turned around, fetched a basin of warm water, and hastily washed Gu Moran's body.
Then he turned around, went into the closet, pulled out a thin blanket, flung it out, and covered himself with it.
As the blanket fell, Gu Moran rolled over again, and a hand emerged from under the blanket, landing squarely on her wrist.
The five fingers are loose and lack strength.
Lin Qingdai didn't pull her hand away; instead, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
That jerk was asleep, but he was still trying to take advantage of me.
She stood there for a few more moments.
He then removed the short sword from his waist and placed it beside his pillow, took a bath, changed his clothes, and lay down.
Lin Qingdai closed her eyes, turned over twice but couldn't fall asleep.
The rain outside the window lessened a bit, but the water droplets on the eaves accumulated little by little.
She felt the damp heat of the person next to her breathing against her collar.
My mind is filled with Gu Moran.
