Blissful Days After Widowhood - Chapter 206

Gu Yin’s eyes were sore. So she could only force herself not to look more, and gently rolled a boiled egg on his bruises, “There is no medicine now, so I can only disperse it like this. When we go out, I will buy medicine for you, the best kind… Then don’t go to other places, just go back with me. I’ll pay you to work, and I won’t let you be bullied again.”

The man obediently let her roll over one of sleeves, and Gu Yin asked him to roll up the other sleeve, but he refused.

Gu Yin no longer forced him and let him do it himself, while she supported her chin and watched.

The young man treated the bruise on the other arm, and when he raised his eyes, he gave a slight pause and pointed to his chin.

Gu Yin immediately understood, and took out the small mirror she carried with her to take a look – the pot ashes on her chin were wiped off, revealing her originally fair complexion.

But fortunately, the pot ashes she used were often smeared, so she just needed to smear it on.

The ashes of the pot were not resistant to water or rubbing. Those days, Gu Yin had “taken off her makeup” more than once. But fortunately, this young man reminded her every time, and had never expressed any curiosity or inquiry about her intentionally smearing her face, let alone any behavior that went beyond the norm. That was why Gu Yin asked Eunuch Shangshan to let him stay and do other chores.

Now she felt even more that she did the right thing. She helped him, and he helped her.

Later, Gu Yin boiled another egg for him and asked him to take it back and slowly rub it on the bruises at night.

After giving it, maybe because of his fancy eyes, she vaguely felt that the young man’s eyes were both helpless and smiling at her.

The guards at the back came to eat and drink again. Although they looked at the young man badly, luckily they didn’t embarrass him anymore, and they didn’t take Gu Yin as a gamble and joke again.

Late spring and early summer were the only rainy seasons in Hanshan Town.

It was raining heavily that day, and the Emperor rested early. Eunuch Shangshan also sent word that there was no need to cook that night.

After Gu Yin asked the young man to help boil a large pot of hot water, he left a fire in the stove, and then covered the stove.

The young man helped bring the hot water into the house, Gu Yin washed and washed her hair, and then wiped a handful of pot ashes while the water was being poured.

Those days, she couldn’t relax for a moment, and she had to smear the pot ashes before going to bed.

After doing that, she lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

Because of something in her heart, she had been sleeping uneasily those days.

Listening to the sound of rain that day, it was rare to get a good night’s sleep.

She slept until midnight when she was disturbed by the sound of footsteps in the yard.

“Search here, go there!”

The guards filed in with the torches, and Gu Yin immediately put on clothes and went out when she heard the sound.

Eunuch Shangshan also came out, and when he saw the crowd, he immediately inquired about what happened.

This team of guards was headed by Guard Rong. His face was ashen, and he said, “Catch the assassin, everyone come out!”

“God!” Eunuch Shangshan exclaimed, stroked his chest and said, “Is there anything wrong with his majesty?”

“His majesty is safe,” Guard Rong coughed up a mouthful of blood as he spoke.

The late Emperor left a hundred dark guards for Emperor Longqing. Those dark guards were loyal and strong in martial arts. Although more than half of them had been killed along the way, there were also twenty or thirty middle-level guards who took turns to protect Emperor Longqing.

In general, let alone assassins, even flies and mosquitoes couldn’t escape the eyes of those people.

But it was raining heavily that day, and an assassin wearing a mask escaped the eyes and ears of those people and went all the way to Emperor Longqing’s bedroom.

If it weren’t for Emperor Longqing still wearing the treasured soft hedgehog armor, and the other party only attacked with fists…

But even so, Emperor Longqing still suffered a lot of injuries, but only those close to him knew about it, and did not dare to publicize it.

Later, when they heard the sound, they naturally rushed over.

Those guards, who came from noble backgrounds, did not dare to fight with others, but just drew their swords and rushed in to pretend.

But they didn’t know what happened, the assassin came at them.

Although he was unarmed, his fist was like a dark cloud, and he was wrapped in a ten thousand force. Guard Rong was punched by him, and the pain in his internal organs was like a fire. The guards who fought with him were even more cunning than him, hiding as much as they could, but they were also more or less injured.
