Concubine enchanting: mistakenly provoked the mad prince

Chapter 47
The next day, just after dawn, it began to rain heavily.

Gu Changge dismissed Shuangxiu and Ruyi with an excuse, and sneaked out through the back door holding an umbrella.When she came to the street, her clothes and hair were a little wet, and she didn't care too much. She hastily wiped off the rainwater from her face, and walked into the foggy street with an umbrella.

When she came to Zhixiangzhai, the shop waiter already recognized her, so she warmly greeted her to go upstairs.Gu Changge was not cautious, went straight upstairs, found a seat by the window and sat down.

Drinking a cup of hot tea finally dispelled some of the chill.

Because of the rain, there were not many people on the street, so it was particularly conspicuous if someone passed by, but Yin Luohan did not appear for a long time.

"Miss, the tea is cold, let me give you another cup."

"Ah."

Gu Changge sat upright, like a statue.

Her face was indifferent, and she couldn't see any emotion, but her eyes were getting colder and more dead.

Although she knew that her deeds would be revealed if she went back late, Gu Changge had no choice but to wait here. If she won this bet, everyone would be happy, and if she lost, she would also lose her own future.

"Madam, slow down, slow down." Gu Changge heard the sound of someone going upstairs, she looked sideways, and saw a young woman walking upstairs with a white-haired old man.

"Ma'am, it's full. Let's change." The young woman said.

The old lady was dressed luxuriously, although she had white hair and pale face, she was very energetic.She kept silent, glanced around, and then pointed at the location of Gu Changge with her dry fingers, her voice was old and cracked.

"Aren't there still seats here?"

Gu Changge noticed that someone was looking at her, so he immediately looked over and met the eyes of the old man. Before she could react, the old man had already walked over tremblingly with the support.

"Little girl, my old man is tired from walking, can I sit with you?"

"It's okay, old man, you don't have to be polite." Anyway, I don't know when Yin Luohan will come, so it doesn't hurt to let an old man sit.

Respecting the old and caring for the young are the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation, what is it to compete with others?
The shop waiter quickly served tea, and Gu Changge poured a cup of tea for the old man.

"The little girl is waiting for someone?"

Gu Changge didn't want to have a conversation with him at first, but since the other party had already spoken, it would be impolite for her to ignore her.So she nodded slightly, as a tacit consent.

"It's raining, and the person the girl is waiting for may not come."

"Whether he comes or not is his business, and whether he waits or not is my business."

The old man froze for a moment, then laughed. "The little girl is really interesting, my old man likes it very much, she is very kind to me! Will the little girl be willing to be my old man's apprentice?"

apprentice?

Gu Changge couldn't help being puzzled.

Sudden strike up a conversation and stop talking, and after a few words, he wants to recruit apprentices, either abruptly or for other purposes.Thinking of this, Gu Changge couldn't help but look at the other party more.

The old man was already an octogenarian, with white hair and a pale face. His face was wrinkled and sagging. At first glance, there was nothing abnormal about his face, except that his piercing eyes did not match the whole face.

Although she didn't know who it was, but since the other party wanted to approach, she took another look.

Gu Changge lowered his head and took a sip of tea, but did not answer.And the old man was also full of smiles, as if he was not in a hurry to wait for Gu Changge's answer.

"I see that your body is thin and your complexion is uneven. Has the little girl ever been poisoned?"

The old man's words could not help but make Gu Changge more alert.

"Who are you?" she asked bluntly.

"Looking at your complexion, the symptoms of poison must be the same as those of ordinary wind and cold. It's just that after a few days, you become drowsy and fall into a daze, and finally die in a coma. It can be said to kill people invisible. I don't know if I mean it ?”

"You are Meng Shen." Gu Changge used a declarative sentence.

"Haha, you are smart! You are more and more satisfied with teaching me. Why don't you follow me and be my apprentice. I promise to teach you everything. With your intelligence, you will be famous in the world within three years!" Meng Shen said first. Startled, then laughed loudly, but the voice was still old.

"Since you want me to be your apprentice, why don't you show your true face?"

"How do you know that my current appearance is not true?" Meng Shen looked at herself, she was sure that there was nothing she missed, and it was impossible for others to see the flaws.

The young woman beside her also sized her up and shook her head to show that she didn't see any flaws.

"How did you tell?"

"Eyes." Gu Changge looked directly at the other party.

I was poisoned not long ago, and I was struggling to find the person who poisoned me, so this dream came uninvited.

"Eye?"

"Although you have put a lot of effort into your appearance, there is nothing to hide. Your appearance may be able to deceive people, but your eyes can't deceive you anyway. The eyes of older people must be cloudy, but your eyes are clear, this is you flaws."

I used to watch TV dramas and watch those actors pretending to be old, and I felt that the make-up skills were too superb. I never imagined that there were such masters in this ancient time when technology and tools were backward!If it wasn't for her being extra careful, I'm afraid she would be fooled.

However, why did Meng Shen take the initiative to find her?
Could it be that the poison didn't kill her last time, so now continue to poison her?
"Since you know that I am Mengchen, then I won't pretend anymore. The effort I spent two hours on will be easily seen through by you. It's meaningless at all." Mengchen's voice immediately became crisp and delicate.She flattened her mouth and put her hands on the table, revealing her plain white arms.

"Are you that person from last night? Who are you!" Gu Changge recognized the other party by hearing the voice.

Meng Shen squinted at Gu Changge, and said lazily, "Don't you already know who I am?"

"..."

"Okay. I'll tell you." Meng Shen shook her body, stretching her body like a lazy cat.

"If I tell you that the reason why I went to Gu's mansion is to find out who poisoned you, would you believe it?" Seeing that Gu Changge obviously didn't believe it, Meng Shen was very frustrated. "I'm really here to find out the truth. I, Meng Shen, have always hated someone to use my name to do bad things!"

"But Xiao Yusheng said that you have a strange temperament. If you are not happy, you will poison and torture people no matter whether they have enmity with you or not."

Meng Shen's face flushed, and there was a hint of embarrassment on his old face.

"Listen to that kid's nonsense! You just have to believe that I didn't poison you. It just so happened that you helped me last night, so I think it's necessary for me to explain it to you."

Gu Changge really wanted to say two words to the other party: Hehe.

"Xiao Yusheng said that you developed the poison, why would someone else have it?"

"The past is unbearable!" How can a person walk in the rivers and lakes without getting wet shoes?Once she got into a dispute with a rich man in a tavern, she was out of breath and prepared to poison her, but she didn't know how to do it, she was caught by the other party, and the poison was confiscated.

She is an expert in making poison, so she knows the consequences of poison falling into the hands of others. No, she has been tracking down whose hands the poison fell into?Accidentally learned that the sixth miss of the Gu family had a serious illness, she felt something was wrong and tracked it down, but she was unlucky yesterday and almost found her whereabouts.

"Last night I heard that your fifth sister was dying, but do you need me to help you and save her life? It's my reward for helping me last night, how about it?"

"Can you save her?" Gu Changge looked at Mengchen.

"I can't save the child in her womb, but I'm sure I can save her. Of course, I've always only poisoned people and never rescued them. If you want to be my apprentice, I'm still willing to save your Fifth Sister." Meng Chen said with a smile.

"You make me think about it."

"Then you have to hurry up. If I don't save her, your Fifth Sister will survive tomorrow night."

Meng Shen was right.The top priority is to find a way to save Gu Xiuning's life, and then find a way to get Gu Yuancheng to spare her.If life is gone, all these efforts are useless.

However, she still needs Yin Luohan's help.

Just wait until he doesn't come, presumably he doesn't want to save her.

Forget it, let's take a step at a time.

"It's fine to be your apprentice. Since I saved your life, you should repay me."

"Okay. I can save your Fifth Sister first. You can think about it first. It's not too late to tell me when you figure it out." Meng Shen stood up and wanted to leave.

"Aren't you going back with me?" Gu Changge called her in surprise.

"Don't worry. Since I promised to save your fifth sister, I will definitely save her. Before she is about to die, wait!" After saying that, Mengshen left with her personal maid.

As Xiao Yusheng said, this Mengshen is really a strange person!

Gu Changge didn't see Yin Luohan coming to the appointment until the rain stopped. She stood up slowly, unable to tell what emotion she was in at the moment.Just inexplicably depressed.

She bet that Yin Luohan liked her, was nervous about her, and would come to the appointment, but it turned out that she was overthinking.

That's right, she never even fell in love with Yin Luohan, so why should she take it for granted that he likes her?

Walking slowly along the street, she never even heard someone calling behind her.It wasn't until she came to an alleyway that her body was suddenly pulled back, and she suddenly came back to her senses.

Taking a closer look, it was Wan Jun who came.

"Chang Ge, have you lost your soul? Why do you ignore me?" Wan Jun's eyes flashed with joy.

"Oh, distracted. Didn't hear."

"Where are you going?"

"go home."

Every time I look back on Changge, he treats Wan Jun lukewarmly. Although Wan Jun is a little disappointed, he is still deeply attracted by Gu Changge.

He couldn't tell what it was like, but he liked to see her cold eyebrows, as if everything was calm and calm, compared with other girls in the boudoir, she was really different.

"I heard from Changwan that you were sick a few days ago, but you're better now?" Who in Yuecheng doesn't know about Gu Changge's illness?

What Wan Jun wanted to ask was the matter between that idiot prince Yin Luohan and her, but he couldn't ask no matter what.

"It's all right."

"Changge, I'm worried about you."

Gu Changge grinned, with a bit of alienation and politeness.

"Please be more concerned about Mr. Wan." She stepped forward, not wanting to pay attention to Wan Jun.

But suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, she paused, and couldn't help but feel happy.
