Chapter 036: A Wisp of Incense Scatters (5)
When Gu Yunjin and Gu Yunxin came to Shi'an Garden, they saw Pan's maid Mu Xueying walking around the door from a distance, looking very anxious.
"Xue Ying." Gu Yunjin shouted and quickened his pace.
When Mu Xueying saw them, she hurriedly greeted them, "Hello eldest miss, hello second miss." ”
Gu Yunjin asked, "What about Madame?" What are you doing here? Why don't you serve by Madame's side? ”
"Madame is in the room, and Madame said that she wants to stay alone for a while, and not let the slave and maid serve in front of her."
Gu Yunjin frowned and asked again, "Madame's breakfast is available?" ”
Mu Xueying said worriedly: "No, the slave maid was worried about this matter just now, the lady didn't get a drop of water in the morning, and the slave maid was thinking about whether to tell the young lady, but the young lady came, please persuade the young lady." ”
"When did the general enter the palace last night?"
"At the end of the covenant. The general left in a hurry, and when the slave and maid got up to see the noise, the general was already dressed and preparing to go out. ”
After Gu Yunjin finished asking, he instructed again: "Xue Ying, you go and prepare some breakfast for Mrs. again." ”
At this time, Gu Yunxin, who had been silent on the side, opened his mouth and said, "Sister, let's go, I'll go and make my mother's favorite dishes and soups." ”
Gu Yunjin nodded and advised: "It's okay, but the speed should be fast, and it doesn't have to be so troublesome, just do it simply." "In this case, even the best food will not have an appetite.
When Gu Yunjin came to the room, he saw Pan sitting alone at the table in a daze.
"Mother." She screamed, then walked in and sat down beside her.
Pan Shi looked tired and said with a sad expression: "You are here, if you want to drink tea, pour it yourself." ”
"Okay." Gu Yunjin responded softly, was silent for a moment, and then said: "My daughter heard Xue Ying say that her mother didn't eat breakfast, and my sister went to make it for her mother. ”
Pan sighed heavily, and said sadly: "Where can I eat, your father was summoned into the palace by the emperor in the middle of the night last night, and now I don't know what the situation is." ”
Speaking of this, Gu Yunjin couldn't help but be depressed and dull in his heart, and after a long time, he whispered: "I really didn't expect Princess Yunli to go like this." Why the fire? Didn't anyone at the inn find out when the fire broke out? Let Princess Yunli ...... alive"
Pan sighed helplessly, "No one knows what's going on, so I can only wait for your father to come back and ask him." The matter of the remnants of the north has not been resolved, and then something like this happened, and now it is really eventful. ”
It didn't take long for Gu Yunxin to walk in with two side dishes and a bowl of healthy porridge.
Gu Yunjin took the porridge and handed it to Pan Shi in person to persuade him: "Mother, this is specially made for you by my sister, hurry up and eat it." ”
Pan had no appetite, but in order not to disappoint his daughter, he reluctantly ate some.
Then, several people silently drank tea and waited for the general to return.
It was almost noon, and General Gu finally returned home.
"Master, how's the situation?" Seeing him come back, Pan couldn't wait to greet him and ask.
General Gu glanced at her, did not speak, and sat down on the chair with a solemn face.
Gu Yunxin handed over a cup of tea at the right time.
General Gu took two sips before he said in a deep voice: "Everyone is already dead, what else can I do?" The imperial court can only do its best to save the situation while preparing for the worst. ”
Gu Yunjin asked, "Dad, has the cause of the fire in the post house been found out?" ”
"No, the room was all burned down, nothing could be found, and nothing suspicious was found at the scene, now I can only guess that the candle in the room is burning something."
The more Gu Yunjin thought about it, the more suspicious he felt, and frowned and said: "Princess Yunli is not in good health, and she needs the maid to guard every inch, even if the candle flame is crooked and burns something, hasn't the maid found out, why don't you run away?" Why not call for help? ”
General Gu replied: "Someone heard the maid's cry, but at that time the whole room had become a sea of fire, and no one who rushed in to save it could come out. ”
Gu Yunjin's brows became tighter and tighter, and at the same time, the doubts in his heart became bigger and bigger, "Dad, I always feel that this matter is strange, it always takes a process for the candle to burn things, it is impossible for the entire room to burn in an instant, and there is no chance for people to call for help." Could it be that someone didn't want Dacheng and Qingxiao to marry, so they hurt the princess and provoked a war between the two countries? ”
The more Pan listened, his eyes widened, and he looked at General Gu and said in a trembling voice: "Master, could it be the remnants of Beishu?" ”
General Gu glanced at her coldly, and scolded in a deep voice: "Don't always scare yourself, you think of everything to go back to the north." ”
In fact, Pan's idea was also Gu Yunjin's idea, because, apart from this, she really couldn't think of anyone who could justify murdering Princess Yunli at the feet of the Emperor of the Great Cheng Dynasty. But hearing General Gu say this, she couldn't insist on her thoughts anymore, so she had to keep silent.
Following the assassination of the remnants of the royal family in the north at the birthday banquet of Empress Dowager Jiang, the death of Princess Heqin in the sea of fire quickly became a huge sensation in the whole country, and for a time became the focus of discussion among the people after tea and dinner.
Under the strange situation of wind and clouds and turbulent waves, the Gu family had a happy event on this day. Under the expectation of everyone, the fourth grandmother Xu gave birth to the little master safely, which dispelled the clouds that shrouded everyone's hearts.
Wenyuan Pavilion.
"Mother, let me see." Gu Yunjin saw Pan's coming out with the newborn young master in his arms, and couldn't wait to step forward to take a look.
Pan Shi looked happy and said with a smile: "What are you anxious about, I'm afraid that you won't have time to watch it in the future?" ”
Gu Yunjin argued with a smile: "The future is the future, and the present is the present." He asked again, "How is the fourth sister-in-law?" ”
"She's very weak now, and she's just fallen asleep."
Gu Xiaowen, the fourth master of the Gu family, was full of the ecstasy of being a father, he stretched out his head to look at his son, carefully touched his face with his hand, and then said, "I'll go in and see her." ”
Gu Yunjin looked at the little person in the swaddling clothes, full of love, feeling that her heart was about to soften into water, and it seemed that she couldn't satisfy her just by looking at it, "Mother, let me hug me." ”
Pan Shi hugged and said, "You haven't taken care of the child, he is so young, what if he falls." ”
Grandma Li said with a smile: "This brocade sister also likes children very much, mother, although she has never taken care of children, but she is careful, and she will fall after holding for a while." ”
Pan Shi was no longer entangled, smiled and put the child in Gu Yunjin's arms, and repeatedly advised: "Be careful." ”
"I know." Gu Yunjin carefully took the child, then sat on the chair and watched the sleeping little man in swaddling clothes with Gu Yunxin.
"Sister, he's so young, are all the newborn children so small?" Gu Yunxin lightly touched the villain's face and asked in disbelief.
"yes, I've seen anything smaller than that."
"Really?"
……
When I came out of Wenyuan Pavilion, it was already sunset.
After the excitement, loneliness hits.
In the afterglow of the sunset, Gu Yunjin looked up at the sky and exhaled a long breath, and a sense of desolation and loneliness hit his heart.
Yue Liushao saw that her expression was a little wrong, and asked strangely, "What's wrong with Miss?" Wasn't it just a pleasure? Why are you unhappy all of a sudden? ”
Gu Yunjin shook his head lightly, and walked towards the Splendid Garden without saying a word, his figure in the sunset was thin and thin.
