Chapter 175: A God-given Opportunity
Today's Gu Qianyan seems to be a trapped beast in a cage, although he seems calm and normal on the surface, but he is in a panic in his heart, and he really doesn't know when this kind of low-voiced and frightened days will come to an end.
Whenever she heard someone talk about the prince of the Western Regions, she couldn't help but tighten her heartstrings, but unfortunately, most of those people were also hearsay, and it was rare to have any reliable news, which made Gu Qianyan experience hope again and again, and disappointment again and again......
During this period, Gu Qianyan also heard a lot of gossip about her, but she turned a blind eye to it, listened to it and lived it carefully, and even she didn't know if it would be lost in the next second.
As time went by, the maidservants and guards in the prince's mansion were no longer afraid of her, and they were no longer as afraid of her words and actions as before.
On this day, Gu Tianyan went to the firewood room to carry firewood, she was too tired and fell asleep, and when she woke up, she heard the faint sound of someone talking outside.
Soon, she heard that it was two guards chatting, and she was a little relieved, so she didn't pay much attention. But when he heard them talk about the prince of the Western Regions, Gu Tianyan immediately cheered up and pricked up his ears to steal the sound.
"I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been running around the palace and the market these days, and even Concubine Chu rarely goes anywhere, so I am afraid that the illness of the prince of the Western Regions is getting more and more serious."
"I don't know what happened to this prince of the Western Regions in my dynasty, whether it will cause a war, and whether we, the guards, will resist to the death."
"Just put your heart in your stomach, the capital is far away from the Western Regions? If we let the people from the Western Regions fight here, I'm afraid that our Great Xuan Kingdom will be destroyed! ”
"Then maybe, if the frontier is in an emergency, who knows if it will let us die?"
"Are you scared?" The guard on the left asked with a smile.
The guard on the right did not evade, looked at the guard on the left and sighed: "If it were you, would you want to become a victim of this palace, everyone just came to this palace to survive, since one day this great Xuanguo is going to be in the chaos of war, why do we ordinary little guards still have to worry about that idle mind?" ”
"You're right, anyway, now that this Great Xuan Country is rotten, in the future, we people will always have to find a way out for ourselves, is it true that we will perish with the Great Xuan Kingdom? That's nothing more than what stupid people do. ”
"You keep quiet, and you are not afraid of these things being heard, if someone uses our words to talk nonsense in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and seek a future for himself, won't the two of us die in vain?"
The guard on the left looked nervously left and right, and didn't see half a figure, so he smiled reassuringly: "Don't worry, where will anyone come at this time?" ”
Leaning on the back of the door, Gu Qianyan couldn't help but touch his nose with his fingers, and said in his heart: No one will come, but someone is here early in the morning! I can't imagine that the matter of this prince of the Western Regions has put everyone in the entire Great Xuan Kingdom in danger, even the guards in the palace think so, and I don't know if the people in the frontier will be in a mess?
It's not good to make a little noise at this time, so as not to misunderstand them.
Although Gu Tianyan would not spread these words to the ears of others, let alone chew these gossips in front of Feng Jinglan's ears, not to mention that even if she had the opportunity to say it in front of Feng Jinglan, he might not believe it, but who knows what they would think after they knew that she was eavesdropping behind the door?
"Then I'll rest assured, I heard that this is a lot of rewards for the prince of the Western Regions to see a doctor, ten thousand taels of gold, and there can be a thousand families to do, I don't know what those people think in their hearts, they are not moved by such a great reward, and no one dares to reveal the emperor list for so many days."
"This is a good doctor, it is indeed a thousand taels of gold, but have you ever thought about what if the doctor is not good? Don't you even care about your own life? ”
Gu Tianyan listened to the two of them say this, and his eyes suddenly lit up, could it be that the mysterious pharmacist still didn't appear? This is undoubtedly a great opportunity for God to give her Gu Qianyan, so can she take the risk of giving it a try?
If it fails, it will be death at most, and it will not be much worse than now.
But if she can really cure the prince of the Western Regions, then Gu Qianyan is a great hero of the Great Xuanguo, not only can she boldly ask Feng Jinglan to make demands, but also seek a great benefit for the Gu family, and even it is not impossible for her to get out of the whirlpool of the prince's mansion.
Thinking of this, Gu Tianyan was a little excited in her heart, at this time, Feng Jinglan estimated that she had already forgotten her to the clouds, and she definitely couldn't wait for him to come to her stupidly here, otherwise she would miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Gu Qianyan only hoped that the two guards outside would leave quickly at this time, and she would find a way to leave here to find Feng Jinglan, but the two were still chattering.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince are now looking for a doctor inside and outside the palace, and they are all heartbroken about the matter of this prince of the Western Regions."
"Don't speculate on the meaning of His Royal Highness the Prince, if others listen to it, chew the tongue of the two of us in front of His Royal Highness the Prince, do you think I don't want this life?"
Gu Tianyan couldn't listen to anything else, she only knew that she couldn't lose the opportunity in front of her, even if it wasn't for herself, for the sake of the Gu family, she had to gamble, even if it might take her life!
As long as there are no big waves in this court, even if it is just 10,000 taels of gold, it is enough for the Gu family to live a life without worrying about food and clothing in the future.
Gu Tianyan thought like this, her face was full of smiles, as if Feng Jinglan had now begged her to treat the prince of the Western Regions.
Next, Gu Tianyan faced a more urgent question, how should she let Feng Jinglan set her eyes on herself?
Gu Tianyan understood that Feng Jinglan was still worried about her fake pregnancy, and it was already Feng Jinglan's great kindness to her that she could leave her alive.
After these years of observation and understanding, Gu Tianyan didn't trust the other people around him, but the little guard Duanmu Qingfeng seemed to be vain, and it shouldn't be a big problem to ask him to help deliver a letter.
If it really doesn't work, the only way to do it is to go to Luping and Qiuting, although Gu Tianyan doesn't want to implicate the two of them anymore, but if he is forced to be helpless, he can only do so.
That night, Gu Tianyan had been sitting behind the courtyard gate, quietly waiting for Duanmu Qingfeng to appear. I felt nervous for no reason, as if I was doing something unsightly behind someone else's back.
Looking at the tall walls around him, he was ready to go out over the wall to ask Duanmu Qingfeng for help, no matter how difficult the current situation was, Gu Tianyan had to fight hard for this opportunity.
I don't know if this matter was deliberately prepared by God for Gu Qianyan, Duanmu Qingfeng shouted Gu Tianyan's name in front of the round window in the backyard of the palace pavilion at this time.
Hearing this, Gu Tianyan hurriedly ran to the window and knocked on the wall in response.
"It's okay, you can talk casually, I've seen all four weeks, and no one ......"
Seeing that Gu Tianyan didn't respond for a long time, Duanmu Qingfeng said hesitantly: "Have you thought about it and are ready to leave here?" ”
Gu Tianyan was thinking about whether to open this mouth to him, in case of failure, it would be nothing if she lost her own life, if it was even if Duanmu Qingfeng was involved, it didn't seem to be good.
But listening to him bring up the old story again, Gu Qianyan instantly made up his mind and said, "I want to leave here, but before that, can you help me do something?" ”
"You say, I'll do it for you." Duanmu Qingfeng said with a resolute expression, and he didn't ask Gu Tianyan what was going on, and he was resolute and resolute.
"The prince of the Western Regions is getting worse and worse, I need this opportunity, otherwise I'm afraid I will really die of old age in this deep palace, I don't know if you can help me with this matter, little guard, help me find an opportunity to get close to Mr. Qingchen, and let Mr. Qingchen say a few kind words for me in front of His Royal Highness the Prince." Gu Tianyan said earnestly.
This is her last chance, Gu Tianyan can't let go easily, maybe others don't understand, Duanmu Qingfeng thought of Gu Tianyan being bullied by public maids in those days, and his heart was inevitably a little moved, his hand was close to the wall, and he took a long breath.
"I'll do it for you, but in the future, you can't alienate me because you climb the high branches again, can you promise that?"
Gu Tianyan couldn't cry or laugh in his heart when he heard this, if the Gao Zhi he said was Feng Jinglan, it was estimated that it would be impossible. No matter whether Feng Jinglan will be more kind to her, she will no longer be rare, and nodded: "Little guard, how could I be alienated from you, when I was the most sad, I was the only one by my side." ”
After Duanmu Qingfeng turned to leave, Gu Tianyan leaned against the wall, and he didn't know if Duanmu Qingfeng would do such a thing for himself, after all, the current scene was on the cusp.
If others knew that Duanmu Qingfeng had private contact with her, maybe Duanmu Qingfeng would lose his life because of this, but Gu Qianyan couldn't care so much at this time.
As long as she can seize this opportunity, she can bargain with Feng Jinglan, at least she can keep the freedom of Luping and Qiuting, and she can also benefit the Gu family a lot, as for whether she can get out smoothly, it will not be too difficult.
However, Gu Tianyan waited for a day and a night, but there was still no news, and her heart gradually sank.
After Duanmu Qingfeng agreed to leave, he searched for two days in a row and failed to see Mr. Qingchen as he wished, he knew that the matter was urgent, so he had no choice but to sneak into Yalanju at night.
Now in the huge Yalanju, there are only two maidservants living in it, these days, Lu Ping and Qiu Ting are worried about Gu Tianyan's situation, and they can't sleep all day and night.
Lu Ping saw a man in black in a trance, only to say that someone wanted to harm them, and let out a scream in fright.
"Ahh Someone ...... coming."
Duanmu Qingfeng hurriedly ripped off the black mask on his face, and said in a low voice: "Don't panic, Gu Tianyan called me!" ”
Qiu Ting rushed over early when she heard the movement, she saw Duanmu Qingfeng, and said suspiciously: "You came to Yalanju at this time, what's the matter?" ”
I thought: This person appears here at this time, if he is seen by others, I am afraid that a few of them will not survive, and it is not a trivial matter for this maid and the guard to teach each other privately. Just heard him say that Gu Tianyan called him, and he couldn't help but hesitate.
Duanmu Qingfeng secretly shouted that it was dangerous: Fortunately, there are no other people in this Yalan Residence, and no one cares about the life or death of the people here! didn't get close to the two of them at the moment, so he said: "Gu Tianyan wants to treat the prince of the Western Regions, let me go to Mr. Qingchen for help, but I haven't found it for a long time, so I'll tell you and see if I can go and see if I can go and see the prince?" ”
Hearing him say this, Lu Ping and Qiu Ting believed it seven or eight points, after all, Gu Qianyan was born as a medicine girl and was well known in the Prince's Mansion, but Gu Qianyan had a bad relationship with Mr. Qingchen, and there were very few people who knew about it.
Qiu Ting looked at Duanmu Qingfeng and said hesitantly: "The prince of the Western Regions has been sick for some time, why does the master only say that he wants to treat him now?" ”
"Gu Tianyan may not have known this news before, and even if she did, she may not be sure that she would be able to cure the prince of the Western Regions!" Duanmu Qingfeng was slightly stunned, and said: "I will go to find Mr. Qingchen again, you can also help think of a way, if you are worried that I will lie to you, it will be better if I have not been here." ”
As soon as the words fell, the figure had already drifted away, leaving only Lu Ping and Qiu Ting looking at each other.
Lu Ping broke the silence and said, "Sister Qiuting, do you think this person is reliable?" ”
"There should be no problem, there is no need for him to lie to us, I remember seeing him with his master before." Qiu Ting said thoughtfully, "But what is the relationship between this person and the master, why didn't the master come to us directly and let him pass the word?" ”
Luping muttered to herself, "Passing the word? Hey, something seems wrong? Then he thought of something, and said, "Could it be that the master is sick?" ”
"Don't think about it!" Qiu Ting suddenly interrupted her and said, "Listening to the meaning of what he said just now, it seems that the master doesn't want us to know that he can't find Mr. Qingchen, and he is very anxious, so he will come to us." ”
Lu Ping suddenly realized: "As soon as you say this, I understand, the master must not want to affect the two of us, so he deliberately didn't come to us, didn't the person just now also say that the master may not be able to cure the prince of the Western Regions?" ”
"Looks like that's probably how things are!" Qiu Ting nodded.
Lu Ping said with both worry and expectation: "Sister Qiuting, what should we do now?" ”
"Since the master asked people to go to His Royal Highness the Prince, I think it is a little certain, let's go to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now, the big deal is death!" Qiu Ting pondered for a while, and then turned his heart to the side.
Lu Ping thought of the suffering and sins that Gu Tianyan had suffered over the years, and said emotionally: "Okay, I'll listen to you!" Shall we go now? ”
"Yes, now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must be in this palace, and if we go over now, we won't be empty." Qiu Ting nodded and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is running around during the day, who knows if he will be in the palace, and only now he will risk his life to see, neither will he miss the master's affairs, and we will not lose our lives in vain." ”
After the two little girls finished speaking, they went to the prince's bedroom, and there was a faint momentum of a strong man who would never return.
