Chapter 166: Pretending to be a ghost
After Feng Jinglan left, Chu Jiaorou had no reason to continue to pretend that she was not fighting or fighting, and at this time she was sitting at the stone table outside the palace pavilion drinking tea leisurely, with a look on her face that everything was under her control.
"Qinglan, do you say that those maids will really lock Gu Tianyan in Yang Pinglan's Qingyan Residence?" Chu Jiaorou took a sip of tea and asked.
"That's natural, it's too late for the people of the prince's mansion to convince the master now, how can they disobey the master, you deserve it, then Gu Tianyan also deserves it, who is right with him, he has to get along with the master, just send her to the underworld to be with that Yang Pinglan."
Chu Jiaorou smiled lightly and said: "If I didn't want His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to know what I did, I really wanted to go and see Gu Tianyan's appearance this night, if only I could drive her crazy in Qingyanju, I wouldn't have to do everything possible to guard against someone in the future." ”
Qing Lan naturally understood the meaning of Chu Jiaorou's words: "All the things of the slave and maid are ready, and when it comes to the evening, the slave and maid will definitely not let Gu Tianyan feel better." ”
Listening to what Qing Lan said, Chu Jiaorou nodded with satisfaction and said, "You are smart, even if I don't say it, you can guess my mind, and you are not a person who has served by my side since childhood." ”
"Qinglan can only do such a meager effort for her master." Qing Lan smiled innocently.
……
Mr. Qingchen finally found an opportunity to meet Feng Jinglan, so naturally he would not miss it. It's just that this prince's bedroom, Mr. Qingchen will not be able to enter for a while, so he can only wait outside, waiting in the place where Feng Jinglan has gone.
The emperor lived up to his wishes, and Mr. Qingchen waited for the rabbit, and finally saw Feng Jinglan's side.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, I have something to ask to see here." As he spoke, Mr. Qingchen hurriedly saluted in front of Feng Jinglan.
Feng Jinglan paused slightly, looked at Mr. Qingchen and said nonchalantly: "If Mr. doesn't talk about Gu Qianyan, it won't be difficult for Mr. Bengong to sit down and talk with Mr. ”
Mr. Qingchen nodded a little helplessly, he also knew that things about Gu Tianyan had to be done slowly little by little, if he tried his best to clear his name for Gu Tianyan by Feng Jinglan's side, he would lose his fair position in front of Feng Jinglan, and it was more likely to cause him to be disgusted.
Mr. Qingchen led Feng Jinglan to sit down at the stone table.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, didn't the emperor trouble His Royal Highness the Crown Prince because of Yang Pinglan's matter?" Mr. Qingchen asked.
Feng Jinglan shook his head and said: "Some time ago, the Yang family made a lot of trouble in the Four Princes' Mansion because of Yang Pingzhi's death, but in the end, it was over. Now that Yang Pinglan is dead again, her ears are very quiet......"
Hearing Feng Jinglan say this, Mr. Qingchen nodded and said, "Then what does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince plan to do next?" Isn't there still a suitable candidate in mind? ”
"There is one, Tanhualang Zhang Xianzhi, this palace has both talent and virtue in Zhang Xianzhi, and has always had private dealings with Zhang Xianzhi, he has been idle in the household department for a long time, this time if the palace is recommended in front of his father, and there are four emperors' younger brothers, Zhang Xianzhi is probably not difficult to sit on the household book." Feng Jinglan said, looked at Qingchen and said: "But this position is more than that of you, after all, Mr. is the most trusted person in this palace." ”
"I don't have a position in the palace, not to mention that I am too young, and I am a strategist by your side with His Royal Highness the Prince, it is definitely not the best choice, but it will make the current saint have some doubts, and this saint is not sure who will call the emperor between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Four Princes, so it is only now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has developed his own power."
"Because my father loves Concubine Yu, my heart has always been biased towards the Four Princes' Mansion, and this time the Chu family not only brought down the Yang family, but also affected the Four Princes' Mansion to some extent, and the Yang family made a big fuss in the Four Princes' Mansion without knowing the seriousness, so my father had to temporarily dispel this idea." Feng Jinglan looked at Mr. Qingchen and said lightly: "I think that my father should allow this palace to cultivate his own power." ”
"But I heard that the current saint has begun to practice the elixir of immortality at the instigation of the jade concubine." Mr. Qingchen said.
Feng Jinglan couldn't help but glance at Mr. Qingchen lightly, and couldn't help but admire Mr. Qingchen's ability to know the world without leaving home: "My father is old and frail, and it is inevitable that he is a little greedy for life and afraid of death, and this alchemy is also a common thing, but I am afraid that the foundation of this body will definitely be hollowed out faster." ”
Mr. Qingchen looked at Feng Jinglan and shook his head: "What I'm worried about now is that the current saint mistakenly thinks that he will live longer if he takes those pills. ”
As he spoke, he sighed and said: "In this way, the Holy Lord naturally does not dare to delegate power to you now, so His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is definitely not suitable to go to the household department, and His Royal Highness must be very cautious, lest the good situation that he has won so hard fall short." ”
"What Mr. said is very true, the position of the head of the household book was decided after thinking twice about the palace, you can think so to make the palace forget that Mr. is not a person who is attached to the powerful!"
"If the current saint thinks that he can live longer, and even really thinks that he can live forever, he will naturally be jealous of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so that he will not be able to be the emperor of this generation. If not, why would he need to take the elixir? "Although Mr. Qingchen is not in the court, he can figure out the emperor's thoughts thoroughly.
Just like Feng Jinglan said that he wanted to recommend him to be the head of the household department, wouldn't it be a temptation and temptation for him?
Feng Jinglan pondered for a moment, just as Mr. Qingchen just said, if his father didn't have the mind to control the government anymore, how could he be guided by Concubine Yu to practice what elixir?
In the final analysis, not everyone can give up the things and rights in their hands at will, after all, there are absolutely very few people who can really regard fame and fortune as floating clouds.
In this way, it can be seen that the father not only wants to live a long life, but also has been fascinated by Concubine Yu, and even such a thing is convinced.
Although Feng Jinglan felt that his father's move was a bit stupid and ridiculous, he didn't dare to have any contempt for the person who was still the most powerful person in the Great Xuan Kingdom.
Mr. Qingchen seemed to see through Feng Jinglan's thoughts, and said, "Maybe one day, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will also cultivate the elixir of life like the current saint, just to stay in this world for a little longer." ”
He looked at Feng Jinglan's hand and gently smoothed the silk silk in front of his knee, and said: "Everyone has such an obsession, if you want to come to the body of the saint today, I am afraid that it will not last much longer." ”
Mr. Qingchen said indifferently, and then got up and left without saying anything.
It was not only to remind Feng Jinglan not to be too anxious, but also to warn him, Feng Jinglan fell into deep thought, and it took a long time to sort out his thoughts: since the time of the saint is running out today, then he Feng Jinglan should cultivate his own power as soon as possible in these remaining days.
On the other side, by the time Gu Tianyan finished cleaning the room, it was already dark.
Gu Tingyan didn't dare to stay outside the door for long, he was still a little worried about Yang Pinglan's soul in his heart, and he might appear, after all, now Gu Tingyan had palpitations when he thought of the quarrel between the two under the rain that day and the appearance of Yang Pinglan's corpse.
There was the sound of footsteps in the corridor, accompanied by the sound of the water, which made Gu Tianyan inevitably shrink into the palace pavilion, looking at the gorgeous decorations around him, his heartbeat was especially obvious in this silent room. Gu Tianyan gasped and shrank in the corner with his eyes closed.
Gradually late in the night, there was a crackling sound outside the door, Gu Qianyan didn't know what magic barrier he was and walked slowly towards the door, the bloody handprint outside the door made Gu Qianyan inevitably take a few steps back, even Gu Qianyan never thought that he would face such a scene one day.
"Give me back my life...... Give me back my life......" A strange voice came from outside the door.
Gu Tianyan looked at the gloomy atmosphere around him, and his body couldn't help but tremble.
There was another sound of water accompanied by a slap on the window, and a water paw print fell, and the sound of birds chirping came from outside the door, as if the canary in the cage had not woken up yet, Gu Tianyan held the door and shook it again.
"Is there anyone! Is there anyone out there? Gu Qianyan shouted loudly outside the door.
No one answered, and there was a deathly silence.
After a long time, a terrifying-looking face approached the screen, Gu Qianyan's hand hurriedly withdrew and took a few steps back, only to see the swollen hand with water stains constantly tapping the screen, whining and saying something, but unable to say a complete word.
Gu Tianyan gasped, only to feel that his back was also starting to hair slightly, but he pretended to be calm on his face: "Who is pretending to be a ghost outside the door!" ”
A water paw print slapped on the screen window, the look on Gu Qianyan's face did not change, biting her thin lips and watching the figure disappear outside the house, slowly Gu Qianyan realized that someone was using her inner demons to fool herself, pretending to be a ghost to fool herself, Gu Qianyan looked outside the door and slowly sat down against the wall.
Thinking about it in his heart: the only person in the prince's mansion who would dare to do this was Chu Jiaorou, if it didn't work out this time, it would be difficult for Gu Qianyan to think of what tricks Chu Jiaorou would use to trick her again, but Gu Qianyan also thought about it in this situation, it was obviously impossible for him to pretend to be crazy and stupid, but he would put himself in a predicament that was even more difficult to drag.
"Give me my life!" There was another paw print left on the screen window, as if he was pretending to be Yang Pinglan.
If Chu Jiaorou hadn't taken Gu Tingyan to see Yang Tinglan's appearance before, Gu Qianyan might have been frightened in Yang Tinglan's Qingyan Ju because of the pretending to be a ghost outside the door, and would not have looked at the door quietly for a long time like now, so she found a place to sit down slowly, lying on the table and watching the person continue to hide the terrifying drama.
Seeing that there was no movement of Gu Qianyan in the house, a handmaid from the Chase shop gathered around and said: "Look at how to get it now, I look at Gu Tianyan, I don't worry about what will be in it now, is it possible that we will continue to pretend to be ghosts?" I don't think it's going to work. ”
"After lighting the fire, fan the cigarette inside the door, even if you can't scare her, you can choke her and cut her arrogance." One of them came up with an idea.
The idea was easy, and several of them glanced at each other, and asked one of them to bring the fire, and let the two of them gather around the fire and fan the smoke inside.
Gu Qianyan, who was sitting by the wall, naturally noticed that something was not quite right, but he didn't expect that the smoke had slowly drifted in through the crack in the door, and the feeling of choking made Gu Tianyan's face change.
"Could it be that you can't scare me, so you want to burn me to death in Qingyan Curie?" Gu Tianyan covered his mouth and nose and walked towards the door covered by the thick fog, the expression on his face couldn't help but become more ugly, and he slapped the door and shouted.
"I don't know what you think now, but if you accidentally set Qing Yanju on fire, you can't afford to lose ten lives, I advise you not to pretend to be a ghost outside, so as not to cause any unnecessary trouble."
The people outside didn't make a sound, but the smoke inside the house was getting thicker and thicker, and Gu Tianyan couldn't help coughing a few times along with the smoke.
Gu Qianyan also knew in her heart that they were doing this, but they were just instructed by someone to make her suffer a little, but maybe they didn't think that if something happened to Gu Qianyan in the house accidentally, this group of people would lose their lives.
Those people didn't know if they didn't hear her, or if they deliberately ignored her, and they kept fanning their cigarettes inside.
There was no water in the house, but there were some clothes and bedding, but after a while, it would be overwhelming.
Gu Tianyan was so scented that tears kept falling, and he only felt that his head was slightly dizzy, and his vision in front of him became more and more blurred.
She quickly crawled to the only screen window in the room, only to find that it had been sealed, picked up a chair and slammed it against the window.
The chair fell to the floor, the window just shook, and there was no reaction.
Gu Tianyan inhaled a few puffs of smoke, coughed violently, and hurriedly stood by the window and breathed a few hard, thinking: Although there will be nothing to do here for the time being, if those people outside the door continue to fan the smoke inside, she probably won't last long......
Thinking of this, Gu Tianyan turned around and looked at the door, only to see that there was a smoky appearance, except for the stars in the furnace, he couldn't see anything at all.
Gu Qianyan grabbed the chair that had just fallen to the ground with one hand, covered his mouth and nose with the corner of his skirt with the other, and slowly groped towards the door.
The smoke at the door was too thick, and Gu Qianyan didn't dare to get too close, so he raised the chair in his hand with both hands and fell towards the door.
Just listen to "Bang! There was a thud and there was a brief silence outside the door.
"You go to the door first...... Ahem...... Open, or else...... Just put the cigarette ...... Cough...... Take it away, otherwise, if something happens to me in the house, I think you will not be able to eat and walk around. Gu Tianyan couldn't care about the smoke anymore and shouted loudly.
The new little maidservants outside the door glanced at each other, a little uncertain.
"Otherwise, we will remove the stove, I heard that this person inside is still Liangdi, if there is really any injury inside, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows, I'm afraid it will not be good."
"What are you worried about, since sisters, let the two of us stay and clean her up, if we don't clean up, we will both leave, maybe after we go back, we won't be able to eat and walk around."
After speaking, the maid looked at the stove in front of her, and said: "How much smoke can a small stove produce, you are too worried, and besides, Gu Tianyan's life may not be so big." ”
