Chapter 370: Aftermath
The hall is swirling, and the white floating smoke hovers upward, disappearing in the air little by little, leaving only a light and light taste, faintly fluttering at the tip of the nose, making people's complicated mood a little calmer.
On the soft collapse, a touch of beautiful and beautiful back is shrouded by the halo of the eight-treasure glass lamp, like a treasured picture, and the beauty can make people forget the melancholy heart for a short time.
When Xiao Yi stood behind the screen fan, he saw such a warm and delicate picture, and the frowning brows that he didn't know when were naturally stretched, and the haze in his heart was gradually illuminated by the warm light.
Gu Yanling, who had never noticed it, sat diagonally beside the desk with her legs curled slightly, and the plain but complicated palace skirt happened to be at the woman's ankle, and the tail of the skirt fell on the edge of the collapse so softly.
There was silence in the room, except for the soft sound of the "clanging" of copper spoons.
Gu Yanling's left elbow was lightly propped up on the edge of the case, and between the slender fingers of his right hand he held a small copper spoon, gently reaching out and playing with the faintly red incense ash in the incense burner.
It seems that she is at ease in her hands, but the bottom of the woman's eyes is deep in calm, and her eyebrows have an indescribable meaning.
"Your Highnessβ"
When she looked up, she saw the man standing behind the screen, and immediately bowed her head respectfully.
This call broke the silence in the hall, Xiao Yi nodded indifferently when he heard the sound, and just turned to look at the collapse again, he saw the gentle smiling eyes.
"It's back. β
Xiao Yi smiled "um" and walked towards Gu Yanling, only to see that Gu Yanling seemed to be about to get up, and his steps were faster, and he stepped forward and gently pressed Gu Yanling's body down.
The corners of Gu Yanling's lips pursed, and when she got closer, she saw the thin sweat on Xiao Yi's forehead, and immediately took out a silk handkerchief to wipe it for him.
"I've been busy outside all day, and I don't know how hot it is, so I changed my clothes and bathed so that I wouldn't sweat. β
Xiao Yi let Gu Yanling wipe his sweat for him, and responded with a smile, Fang stood up straight and wanted to call Tan Mo to come in and wait for him to change clothes, but when he saw that the person in front of him also got up, he reached out and gently untied the tie on his collar for him.
"You rest, let Tan Mo come. β
Seeing Xiao Yi holding his hand, Gu Yanling raised his eyes with a smile, and still untied the belt and said, "Even though I am pregnant, I still do this." β
Seeing Gu Yanling say this, Xiao Yi didn't stop it, and only the corners of his lips turned into a warmer smile.
When Xiao Yi came out of the bath, he saw Gu Yanling being served by Libi and Jiang Zhu to disperse his cloud hair, and while walking towards the dormitory, he said two words to Tan Mo behind him.
"Find a plain dress and follow me to Cui's Mansion tomorrow. β
The words fell, and the figure in front of the dressing table paused slightly, and then Gu Yanling raised his hand and took off the pendant on his ear and said indifferently: "You go down and rest." β
When Libi and Jiang Zhu heard this, they immediately comprehended the response, and when they withdrew, they bowed to Xiao Yi who entered the door, and then retreated outside the hall.
"Tomorrow to mourn?"
Seeing Gu Yanling get up and turn his head sideways, Xiao Yi's dark color gradually calmed down and became serious, and then nodded: "It's summer now, and Mrs. Cui's coffin should not be placed in the mourning hall for too long, so the day of entering the earth will be advanced." β
Gu Yanling lowered his eyelids when he heard this, and his butterfly-like eyelashes suddenly covered with an indistinct shadow, and the next moment, he could hear Gu Yanling's slightly cold voice.
"Pity Miss Cui. β
There is no sadness or sadness in the words, but it is full of sorrow.
In her previous life, she also experienced such a scene, she still remembered that when Xie left, it was a cold winter wax moon, her face was peaceful as if she was asleep, but it was cold and pale, at that time, she was like having no heart, and that kind of pain was something that others could not understand.
She still remembers the bright smile of the Cui family girl, but she doesn't know how much of that smile can still be left after such a thing.
"Regarding the marriage of the Cui Xie family, I should have gone with you. β
Hearing the helplessness in Gu Yanling's words, Xiao Yi stepped forward slowly, comfortingly landed his palm on his slightly lowered shoulder, and comforted him: "Your heart, Mrs. Cui will also know it under the spring, I will mourn for you tomorrow, now that the matter has happened, you don't have to be too sad, take care of your body." β
Gu Yanling nodded when she heard this, and when she lowered her eyes, she saw her slightly bulging lower abdomen, and couldn't help but raise her hand to cover it.
"Ah Yi, I always feel that something is wrong. β
Hearing this, Xiao Yi saw Gu Yanling's eyebrows frowning, and immediately squatted down gently, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Xie Yun also thinks so." β
Gu Yanling's eyes immediately moved when he heard this, and when he looked at Xiao Yi, he saw him say slowly and in a low voice: "Last night, Xie Yun went to investigate the place where the incident occurred, because it was the sudden pit viper that caused trouble, so he looked for traces of the carriage out of control, searched in that wood, and finally found a branch on a tree that seemed to be due to too long of gravity, and there were faint traces of breakage. β
As soon as the words fell, Gu Yanling's eyes suddenly brightened.
In this way, it is very likely that someone ambushed the tree in advance, and when Mrs. Cui's carriage was about to pass a sharp bend, the two pit vipers were dropped, and everyone naturally couldn't think of anything unusual overhead, not to mention the dense woods, as long as they dressed up a little, they were afraid that they would not be able to recognize it.
"killed Mrs. Cui, the relationship between the Cui Xie family will be postponed for three years, and the murderer is here for this marriage?"
Hearing Gu Yanling's speculation, Xiao Yi nodded silently.
And almost at the same time, a thought flashed in Gu Yanling's mind.
can do murder so well, naturally, except for that person, she really can't think of a second person.
Xiao Yi seemed to see Gu Yanling's thoughts, and held Gu Yanling's hand comfortingly and said in a deep voice: "The Xie family is famous, the Cui family is in charge of the transfer of military attachΓ©s, and Gu Xie has an in-law relationship, so it is inevitable that the Cui family will also be friendly with the Gu family because of this, Xie Yun's marriage with the Cui family girl this time is undoubtedly a threat to Xiao Yan." β
Hearing Xiao Yi's words, Gu Yanling's hands couldn't help but tighten, and his eyes were slightly cold.
Because of this, he Xiao Yan easily took a person's life.
Xiao Yan is really the same as in his previous life, he is still the madman who can do anything for the sake of power.
Just when Gu Yanling was disgusted in her heart, a thought suddenly flashed in her mind, which made her face pale for a moment, and then spit out a cold sentence.
"Three years of filial piety did not hurt this family business. β
Hearing this, Xiao Yi couldn't help frowning, and his eyes were calm, and he already understood what Gu Yanling meant.
Keeping filial piety for three years is just a delaying tactic, Xiao Yan, and there are still follow-up moves.
"He wants to deal with Cui Shangshu. β
Hearing Xiao Yi's voice, Gu Yanling immediately responded: "Once something happens to Cui Shangshu, not only will it threaten the marriage, but Xiao Yan can also take this opportunity to place his own people in the position of this Shangshu." β
Xiao Yi's face gradually became serious, and when he heard this, he immediately stood up and said comfortingly to Gu Yanling in front of him: "I'll go to Xie Mansion to find Xie Yun, you have a good rest." β
Gu Yanling knew that she was pregnant now, and this matter was related to the court, so she didn't say more, and only nodded her jaw, which was considered a response.
Xiao Yi gently imprinted a kiss between Gu Yanling's eyebrows, and immediately turned away, leaving a room of cold moonlight.
At this moment, Gu Yanling watched Xiao Yi walk away, his eyes became more and more calm, and he became more and more cold.
"Pearls. β
As soon as the words fell, the girl walked in from outside and saluted.
"Prepare as planned. β
Huaizhu was slightly stunned when he heard this, then raised his head and asked carefully, "Do you want to tell Your Highness." β
"No need. β
Gu Yanling tilted his head slightly, looking at himself in the mirror, his words were full of calm.
If he had known, he would not have agreed. β
Speaking of this, Gu Yanling turned to stand up and walked slowly towards the bed.
"Let's go down. β
When the hall was quiet again, Gu Yanling sat quietly on the edge of the bed, silently concentrating, and his eyes became more and more determined.
Let her and Xiao Yi be inside and outside, abolish Xiao Yan's right-hand man, and let him be seriously injured even if he doesn't die.
