Chapter 864: Uninvited Guest
The next morning, when Chunxiang passed by Yunshu's house, she couldn't help but stop and look around for a while. 'The woman in the closed window can't be seen, at this time on weekdays, you should already be able to see that quiet and serious face from the window, is Miss sleeping so well today?
Chunxiang smiled and left slowly, not intending to disturb Yun Shu inside.
In the dining room, the two cooks were preparing the breakfast of the general and the young lady, and a tall figure appeared at the door.
"Isn't this Muber? Breakfast is not yet ready, so please wait a while. ”
I saw the man step in, but he lifted his sleeve. "I'll prepare Miss's breakfast today."
"This ...... Don't, you're a guest, it's not polite! The two cooks looked at each other, and this kind of thing had never happened before. The other party is a distinguished guest invited by His Royal Highness, and the general has explained that he wants to be entertained, how can he be allowed to do such rough work.
"Miss has not been sleeping enough these days, and breakfast is very important. I know how to regulate medicinal food, Your Highness has explained it, don't worry about leaving it to me. Yun Mu had already come to them, and he held the kitchen knife in a good manner, followed by the fast and rhythmic sound of chopping vegetables.
As the head of the Yun family, Yun Mu never held a kitchen knife in the past, and then lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests, in order to take care of Mrs. Yun's body, he often cooked by himself, this serious man is very talented, and soon practiced a good knife technique, and the two cooks couldn't help but look at this burly man with admiration.
Before they could say goodbye, the soup pot was already hot, and Yun Mu threw the diced vegetables into it, and soon a strange aroma came.
Yun Mu's eyes fell on the breakfast prepared by the cooks on the side, "There is no need to make such a hearty breakfast, just a bowl of vegetable chowder and medicinal soup is enough." ”
"Original...... I see...... "His Royal Highness said that this is a foreigner of the Wu family, and he must be more proficient than them in the way of health preservation. "In that case, let's send a bowl to the master too......"
"I'm only one lady, and you can just send it to the general as before. With that, the man strode out of the dining room, leaving only the two stunned cooks.
Yun Mu understood that he couldn't make up for his previous mistakes by doing this, but he just wanted to do something for his daughter, even if it was insignificant, it seemed to be able to fill the guilt in his heart.
The woman's brow in the quilt never stretched as before, and she had a long dream in which she and her sister Yunmei sat together at their desks, taught by their father himself. However, in this dream, there is no estrangement between sisters, and there is no distance between father and daughter, and not far away, their loving mother still walks with fresh fruit, and her face is full of loving smiles.
"Shu'er, don't sleep, get up and carry the weeds." Her father's voice sounded from the top of her head, and she woke up as a young girl, thinking that her father would blame her for being lazy during the banquet, but she didn't want that stern face to show a helpless smile after a while, "I didn't sleep last night, okay?" Remember to drink a bowl of potpourri ginger tea before going to bed. ”
Potpourri Ginger Tea ...... Yun Shu in the futon woke up faintly, and the room was already bright. Was she dreaming? How can I remember the things of my childhood.
His eyes fell on the empty medicine cup in front of the table, and a deep depth crossed his eyes.
The door creaked open slowly, and the sober air rushed in. I have to say that last night's cup of ginger tea was very effective, and she hadn't slept so peacefully for a long time.
"Miss, are you up?" Haruka had a smile on her face and held the breakfast she had brought from the dining room in her hand.
The refreshing aroma is accompanied by hot smoke, and the jade-colored soup is very appetizing. Yun Shu took a sip lightly, and her eyes suddenly lit up, "This soup is really refreshing today." ”
"Really? The slave maid thought it was simpler, but she didn't expect Mu Bo to have such good craftsmanship. ”
Yun Shu's hand holding the spoon paused slightly, "This is made by Mu Bo?" ”
"Yes, the cook said that Mubert made a cup for the young lady, and he didn't even have the general's share! His Highness is really careful. Chun Xiang thought that Yun Mu was so intimate because of Feng Ling's entrustment, but Yun Shu was quiet. She looked at the emerald soup and savored it.
The other end.
"Ahh......h
"Nightmares again?" Damn, ever since she met that man, Ling'er has been haunted by nightmares every night! Gu Xunfang hated her teeth itching, and wiped the cold sweat from Su Linger's forehead in distress, Miss Gongsun explained that she prescribed some tranquilizers to help eliminate the fright for Su Linger, but she is young, if she can use no medicine, try not to.
"Big brother go and help Ling'er get some food, and I'll be back soon......"
"Big brother, don't go, Ling'er is scared ......" Su Ling'er's big watery eyes were full of tears, and she pulled Gu Xunfang's sleeve and didn't let go.
He patiently coaxed for a long time, "Come on, why don't you bring breakfast to the young lady!" And then...... Boil another pair of medicines. Soon the maid came in, and after listening to the instructions, she withdrew. Ling'er is not afraid, there is a big brother here to protect you and will not let the bad guys bully you. ”
The cold appearance of that man often appears in my mind now, not to mention that I have seen him kill Ling'er, and I don't know when the fear in my heart will disappear.
This courtyard has arranged for several shadows to protect it in secret, afraid that the man will appear again. But the uneasiness in Gu Xunfang's heart never disappeared, and she always felt as if there was a pair of eyes staring at them behind her.
There was a knock at the door, and the maid had already boiled the medicine and brought it over. I didn't want to push the door open, but there was a muffled grunt.
"What happened?!" Gu Xunfang keenly turned her head to stare at the door, the maid no longer made a sound, and a pair of white hands fell to the ground at the slightly open crack of the door.
"Ling'er! Quick, hide! Gu Xunfang immediately lowered her voice and put Su Ling'er under the bed, "No matter what happens, you don't want to come out, you know?" ”
Su Ling'er bit her lower lip and shook her head, while Gu Xunfang couldn't care about anything else, "Good, big brother will be back soon." Releasing her little hand, he rushed out as soon as he flicked the hem of his clothes. When the door was opened, the maid fell to the ground bleeding from all her knots, looking very terrified.
"Who?! If you have the ability, come out, don't hide it! ”
Several black shadows immediately appeared in the courtyard, and the shadows looked at the maidservants on the ground in surprise, "Gu Gongzi, what's going on?" ”
"You didn't see anyone suspicious?"
The shadows were looking at each other, they were hiding in the shadows, and there was no movement, what was going on?
"Ahh
Su Linger's voice sounded in the room, Gu Xunfang secretly said that it was not good and immediately turned back, only to see a black-robed man standing next to the couch, carrying Su Linger, who had passed out on his shoulder, and a hoarse and smug laugh came, "The old man thinks about it, such a smart girl is really the best candidate for medicine." ”
"You! Bastard, don't hurry up and return Ling'er! ”
The shadows immediately grabbed the impulsive Gu Xunfang and protected him behind him, and several people immediately surrounded him.
The black-robed man was not afraid at all, one of his hands had already pinched Su Linger's neck, "As long as the old man moves slightly, this girl's head will fall immediately, if you take a step forward, the old man's hand will not obey the call." ”
"Stop!" Gu Xunfang yelled hatefully, "Don't go over, what do you want?" ”
The black-robed man had already expected Gu Xunfang's reaction like this, and he snorted proudly, "This son makes the old man very interested, if you can let the young lady of the Gongsun family come over, maybe the old man can consider letting this girl go." ”
What the? He wants Miss Gongsun!
"Wishful thinking!"
"Oh? It seems that this girl and the old man are really fateful, hehe......" The black-robed man's hand moved slightly, and Gu Xunfang immediately shouted, "Don't touch her!" You, you ......"
The Shadows glanced at each other, and one of them had retreated.
The black-robed man naturally knew that the shadow had gone to ventilate and report the news, so he turned around immediately, "The old man's patience is limited, so I will go to Gongsun Mansion and wait first!" ”
A gust of wind blew, and the figure of the black-robed man was no longer in front of him.
In Yun Shu's courtyard, Yun Mu was studying the prescription in her hand with her.
"If you add these herbs, you should be able to prolong the effect of the medicine for a period of time. However, if you can add a pearl grass, the effect should be multiplied. "It's just that pearl grass is extremely hard to find, and you can't find it for a while. As soon as Yun Mu's words fell, he suddenly pulled Yun Shu behind him with a cold look in his eyes, "What person!" ”
"Hahaha...... Miss Gongsun, don't come unharmed. ”
The hoarse voice accompanied by a strong smell of blood came from the front, and a black figure stepped out from behind the big tree in the courtyard.
For a moment, all the guards immediately recovered from their shock and surrounded him, watching the man's every move.
Yun Shu had already noticed Su Ling'er on his shoulder, and made a gesture to stop the guards from acting rashly. She took a step forward, "What does this senior do?" ”
"Hehe, this time, the old man is very sincere to invite Miss Gongsun to join, how about it, how did you think about it?" He smiled as he reached out and stroked Su Linger's silk. Yun Shu immediately understood that he was threatening Su Linger's life.
"Bold, how can the General's Mansion let you be presumptuous!" The guard shouted loudly, a ghostly light crossed the eyes of the black-robed man, and with a slight wave of his hand, the breeze spread quickly with the gray powder.
"Poisonous! Everyone, be careful! Yun Shu immediately reminded her, but several of the guards in front of her had already inhaled the poison powder and fell to the ground and convulsed, and there was no movement after wailing twice. The others covered their mouths and noses and retreated, and soon the archers wearing iron masks rushed forward and stood in a line, aiming at the black-robed man in the middle.
"Shoot the arrows! just helped the old man release the blood on this girl's body, and saved a lot of effort. He grabbed Su Ling'er on his back and blocked him in front of him, laughing arrogantly
