When she went outside, Miss Gu Er let the old lady board the car first, and she and Gu Zhirong got into the carriage behind. After all, she hadn't seen each other for too long, and she couldn't wait to say a lot to Gu Zhi, so urgent that she didn't even let go when she took the car back.

Gu Zhirong smiled, knowing that this second sister wanted to talk to herself, so she said yes. Just as they were about to board the carriage, a little eunuch walked quickly next to them and said to them, "May I ask you, are you the second and fifth ladies of the Yuanning Marquis Mansion?"

Gu Yuanfang glanced at the little eunuch suspiciously, feeling familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while.

The little eunuch held the dust in his hand, and said with a smile: "I am Xiao Ji next to the prince, our prince said, the weather is cold, and I am afraid that the two young ladies will catch a cold on the road, so let the little one change to another carriage, please get on the car." As he spoke, he pointed not far away.

Gu Yuanfang looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough, twenty meters away, there was an extremely luxurious royal blue canopy folding feather tassel carriage parked, and the coachman stood quietly, waiting for them to get into the car.

Gu Yuanfang hesitated for a moment, thinking about whether to get in the car. Gu Zhirong suddenly winked at Gu Yuanfang, turned to the little eunuch, and said with a smile: "This father-in-law, then thank you." ”

The little eunuch then invited the two of them into the car.

Gu Zhirong asked Cuihuan to return to the old lady, but of course the old lady had no opinion. So Gu Zhirong pulled Gu Yuanfang into the car.

When they got into the carriage, they knew the luxury of the carriage. The carriage was so generous that it was no problem to lie down and sleep in it, and the inside of the carriage was covered with brocade mattresses. The carriage was hung with a brocade tent. The dragon in the carriage is burning vigorously, although it is the middle of winter, the car is warm. There were two gold and copper hand stoves for fishing and farming in the car, Gu Zhirong was not polite, she carried one casually, holding her hand warmer, the injury had not healed, and she felt more and more afraid of the cold. As soon as his body was crooked, he leaned on the backrest pillow of the big red cloud dragon holding his longevity. Looking at Gu Yuanfang with a smile.

Gu Yuanfang was furious by her, and couldn't help but say angrily: "What are you looking at me like this?"

Gu Zhirong straightened up abruptly and leaned into her ear. raised his voice slightly and said, "The prince is so gentle and considerate to the second sister, which is really enviable." ”

With that, he turned sideways and left, leaning on the pillow and chuckling.

Gu Yuanfang's face turned red instantly. It's not entirely because of shyness. One is a normal reaction after being teased. The second is embarrassed by the prince's sudden care. She was at a loss. The third is that there is an inexplicable mentality, wanting to refuse, but not knowing how to speak. Shy and embarrassed, for a while, Miss Gu Er blushed and couldn't speak.

Gu Zhirong looked indifferent, looked at the second lady and said, "Second sister, it is the prince's heart. Don't be too reserved. I have heard that the prince is cold-blooded to the point of being almost unkind, and it is rare for him to have such a warm time. His rare kindness, you can accept it. ”

Gu Yuanfang said sullenly: "Who wants him to be courteous when he has nothing to do?"

Gu Zhirong was slightly stunned. Regarding the prince's enthusiasm, the reaction of his second sister seems to be a little cold.

If it were another woman, I was afraid that she would be ecstatic and scream, right? But the second lady's temperament is like this, cold and high, so Gu Zhirong didn't care too much about it.

Although the second lady is a person from the big house, her temperament is honest and kind, and she is not as cold and vicious as her mother, the eldest lady. In this regard, Gu Zhirong really thinks about her.

"Second sister, it seems that the prince is sincere this time. Gu Zhirong said sincerely, "He is in a high position, and he is in charge of the country on behalf of the emperor, so he must be very busy." It's rare that he can still think of you, the second sister, I'm afraid that in such a cold day, you will freeze, so people have prepared such a comfortable carriage, and the items on the carriage are readily available, and if you change it to other people, I'm afraid you won't be so careful. ”

Gu Yuanfang frowned, and glanced at Gu Zhirong with a complicated mood.

Gu Zhirong thought she was shy, so she didn't continue the topic, leaned on the pillow, tilted her body, and exhaled comfortably: "It feels so good to go home." ”

Gu Yuanfang looked at the fifth sister holding a hand stove in front of her, and finally said the doubts in her heart: "Is the fifth sister sick, why is her face so pale? The body seems to be much weaker, this is not like you in the past, you were the least afraid of cold in the past." Is it ......?"

She thought for a while and said, "Didn't my sister have an accident when she was in Jiangzhou?"

She tried her best to recall the rumors she had heard before: "I heard that something happened in Fanjiang, and I encountered water bandits, and all the boats passing by were not spared. At that time, the fifth sister was also in Fanjiang......"

Speaking of this, she looked at Gu Zhirong in shock. By the way, didn't He Ronglan from the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites say that the fifth sister had already been killed......?

She grabbed Gu Zhirong's hand suddenly, and when she touched it, she felt that her hand was extremely cold, and her heart couldn't help but tighten, frowning and said, "Fifth sister, tell me, what happened when you were in Jiangzhou? You were injured, right?"

Gu Zhirong no longer hid it from her, and nodded calmly.

Gu Yuanfang's eyes widened suddenly: "Is it in Fanjiang?"

Gu Zhirong smiled: "Second sister, don't be nervous, something happened suddenly that day, and we were unprepared, so we got started." But later, didn't the people from the government come and rescue us all, so don't worry, second sister, nothing happened. ”

"But......" Gu Yuanfang still looked frightened, "According to what you say, if you are rescued, there should be a record on the official register, why do they all say that you are dead?"

"Say I'm dead?" Gu Zhirong glanced at her, "Some people wish I died, don't the second sister know?"

Gu Yuanfang's eyes widened suddenly, looking at Gu Zhirong, the doubts of these days gathered and expanded more and more in her heart, she suddenly remembered someone, and her face suddenly turned pale.

Gu Zhirong thought that with the intelligence of the second young lady, she must have thought of something, she didn't say anything, closed her eyes, and quietly leaned on the pillow to pretend to sleep.

After a while, the carriage drove to the gate of the Yuanning Marquis's Mansion. The Gu Zhirong sisters thanked the carriage one after another, and Miss Gu Er asked Cuihuan to reward the carriage with silver and let him go back on his own.

The old lady returned to the mansion first and passed on Gu Zhirong's news one step earlier. The snow goose was waiting at the door early, and finally saw the familiar figure of her own lady, she couldn't help it anymore, and hurriedly ran over, helping her young lady to get out of the car and go towards the weeping flower gate.

Gu Zhirong asked with a smile, "Did Mingyue Lushui and the others come back together?"

Xue Yan said with a smile: "When you entered the palace, Miss, Mingyue had already sent a letter, and the slave maid didn't believe it at the beginning, so she was waiting at this door, but I didn't expect Miss to really come back." Oh yes, Mingyue and the others are all back, and they have all entered Liuyun Courtyard. Listening to Mingyue, the slave maid knew that the young lady had returned to Beijing a few days earlier, why didn't she inform the slave maid, causing the slave and maid to wait for so many days. ”

Gu Zhirong said with a smile: "Didn't Mingyue tell you, did you just have something delayed?"

Of course, Xue Yan knew what Gu Zhirong was talking about, and what he was referring to. looked around, lowered his voice and said: "The second lady has also been back for a few days, and she looks very good in good spirits, and she knows people, and she can eat some things, but she can't speak." ”

Gu Zhirong nodded: "Yes, the second lady's injury is not as good as Mingyue's, she is more seriously injured than Mingyue, and she is injured in the brain stem, her speech must be affected, this needs to be slowly restored, but her speech may have some impact in the future." ”

Xue Yan said in a low voice: "I remember the night when the second lady woke up, the old lady sent the maids in each room to take turns to be on duty, and the slave and maid were on duty at the door at that time, and the second lady looked at the slave and maid for a long time, and seemed to have something to say. Could it be that the second lady recognized it, and it was the young lady who treated her for the disease?"

Gu Zhirong pondered for a while. The effect of Ma Boiling Powder is not long-lasting, and the operation spans two days, and the second lady always wakes up, and it is not surprising that she recognizes herself. I saved her because of a moment of compassion, and then it depends on whether the second lady is worth saving. (To be continued......)
