"You close your eyes, inhale deeply and exhale, and let your breathing soften slowly."

Under the guidance of Liansheng, Gu Yimo recalled the events before falling into the water little by little, while Xu Yan stood aside and watched curiously.

"You and Miss Gao, come out along the Imperial Garden and turn onto a path, who pointed you the way?"

"A palace maid, I don't know who she is."

"And then, how did you get there?"

"Follow that path, it's a long road, and we're a little tired from walking." Gu Yimo began to recall very smoothly.

Xu Yan looked at Liansheng and Gu Yimo in surprise, she thought this method of slowly guiding people to reminisce was really great.

"Yes, the road is very long, there are pine trees all around, the breeze blows and the smell of pine needles everywhere, and the little squirrels are jumping around in the trees, do you see the squirrels?"

"See, it's so cute, the fur is smooth, and the back is black with vertical stripes."

"That's a chipmunk, and the squirrel has brown fur. You see the squirrel see the chipmunk, and then you go into the little courtyard on the hillside, where there is the official house. ”

"The courtyard was quiet, there was no one, we came out of the official house and bumped into a small child."

Child? Lian Sheng and Xu Yan glanced at each other, both wondering if there was no young prince in this palace, where did the children come from? There must be a problem.

Sure enough, when Gu Yimo said this, she opened her eyes and looked at Lian Sheng in a panic: "Little child, we bumped into a little child!" ”

"Yes, little kid, what kind of clothes is that little kid wearing?"

Liansheng thought that since he appeared in the palace, could it be that the relatives of which palace brought him into the palace?

"Clothes?" Gu Yimo's eyes looked up. Trying to remember.

"It seems to be dressed very ordinary, similar to the color of the little eunuch's uniform, it should be a boy. Miss Gao was unsteady on her feet, and she was hit by him and almost fell, but I held her. Then she slapped the kid in anger. ”

Gu Yimo lowered her head a little embarrassed when she said this. Miss Gao is the daughter of the servant of the ministry, and everyone is beautiful, and she actually slapped a five or six-year-old child, which is a bit excessive, and Gu Yimo feels very embarrassed when she thinks about it.

"She hit that kid? How big does that kid look like? ”

"Hmm. Five or six years old. ”

"Miss Gao hit a five or six-year-old child. It's disgraceful. Xu Yan followed up.

"It's her wrong thing, but she can't drown us just because of this." Gu Yimo suddenly became excited, her breathing was short, and Lian Sheng hurriedly grabbed her hand: "You calm down." Breathe deeply. Come follow me. I inhale, I exhale, and that's it. Take a long breath, spit it out again, come, and do this three times. ”

Liansheng's voice was soft, Gu Yimo took a few deep breaths as she said, and her feelings slowly eased down.

"No one blames Miss Gao, you talk about yours slowly."

Liansheng glared at Xu Yan, Xu Yan knew that she had made a mess, and stuck out her tongue at Liansheng.

"The kid started crying."

Gu Yimo really settled down and continued to tell what happened.

The child fell to the ground and cried, Gu Yimo complained: "The children in the palace are either rich or expensive, you are going to cause trouble." ”

Miss Gao held her hand and said with a smile: "Look at his clothes and shoes, where is a little rich, maybe he is a little eunuch on an errand." ”

"How can there be such a small eunuch."

"You don't know, I heard that the younger the better." Miss Gao whispered in her ear, Gu Yimo patted her, "Look at you, what nonsense." ”

"Isn't it no one else? Those rules are for whom? ”

The two walked out hand in hand, and the two ladies from famous families did not even help the child up, allowing him to sit on the ground and cry.

The two of them walked down for a while, but because of their small feet, they couldn't breathe anymore, and had to rest against the pine tree.

At this time, a middle-aged eunuch ran down from above, stared at them and asked, "The two young ladies just came down from the courtyard above?" It's easy to find our house. ”

"yes." Gu Yimo pinched a handkerchief in her hand and kept fanning: "This father-in-law has something to do with us?" ”

The eunuch looked at them and said, "Niangniang, please come with me." ”

"Concubine Niangniang?" Miss Gao's eyes lit up and she smiled: "Did the concubine Niangniang ask us to go?" ”

"It's the concubine."

Miss Gao happily took Gu Yimo's hand: "Sister Gu, let's go." ”

Gu Yimo looked at her worriedly, and said in a very low voice: "It's secluded here, and it's really strange that Niangniang suddenly sent someone to summon her." ”

"What weirdness can there be, this is the palace, a place where a guard can appear with a casual shout, you just love to think nonsense." Miss Gao leaned on her shoulder and bit her ear: "I heard that this time Niangniang called us into the palace to get married, do you want to be with those people...... Summoned by the mother alone, this is a rare opportunity. ”

Gu Yimo was moved by Miss Gao's words, and seeing the middle-aged eunuch's honest and loyal appearance, she nodded, and Miss Gao hurriedly took out her purse, poured out a few gold leaves and stuffed them into the eunuch's hand. The eunuch pushed, but finally accepted it.

The eunuch pointed to the pine forest and said, "Niang Niang is in the Fengbo Building, we have to go through this forest, the two young ladies are daughters, but they have to follow me closely." ”

The two of them did not suspect him, and followed all the way, and immediately came to the opposite side of the forest, and a lake appeared in front of them. The eunuch smiled and said, "The two young ladies are afraid that they are tired of walking, so let's rest here." Gu Yimo asked, "Why does the mother want to see the two of us?" Are you from Guan Ju Palace? ”

The eunuch didn't answer, and suddenly reached out and grabbed Miss Gao's neck, Miss Gao didn't have time to call for help, her eyes were round, her mouth was slightly open, and she was out of breath when she saw it, and was pushed into the water by the eunuch. Gu Yimo saw that the big thing was not good, and she turned around and was about to run, but how could she run with a pair of small feet? As soon as she ran two steps, the eunuch grabbed her by the arm, carried her and dragged her to the lake. Gu Yimo shouted for help, the eunuch covered her mouth with one hand, and also pulled her collar with the other, Gu Yimo struggled desperately, the man's finger reached out to Gu Yimo's mouth, and she bit hard. The man was like crazy, and pressed Gu Yimo's head into the lake. Gu Yimo choked on a few mouthfuls of water, her consciousness gradually blurred, she deliberately let go of her hand, closed her eyes, her arms even hung down, and her whole body looked extremely weak, the eunuch saw that she was not resisting, and threw her into the lake with force, Gu Yimo endured the horror in her heart, her hands and feet did not move, she only held her breath and concentrated, and sank like that. The eunuch was also worried that someone would come, and when he saw that Miss Gao and Gu Yimo were sinking into the lake, he turned around and ran away.

"You know the next thing, I just feel groggy, the water poured in, I would be ...... when I was a child" Speaking of this, Gu Yimo secretly glanced at Liansheng, and found that there was no other expression on her face, so she quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Maybe it's because of the water, I woke up after the person left, and found that I was wrapped in a ball of aquatic weeds in my hair so I didn't sink, I struggled out of the aquatic weeds, slowly swam to the shore, and saw ...... Lord Yu. Speaking of the three words of Lord Yu, her face turned red, her pupils dilated, and her tone was extraordinarily soft. Liansheng sounded very awkward, and asked with a cold face: "What are the characteristics of the eunuch?" ”

"Features? What is the meaning? Gu Yimo asked suspiciously.

"It's what the face looks like, tall, short, fat and thin. Are there any moles, birthmarks, etc., are there any other places that are different from others? ”

"None? I can't remember clearly, a very ordinary eunuch, looking in his 30s? Or in your 40s? White face, not tall or low, speaking voice is not high or low, not to say that people with black moles and birthmarks can't enter the palace, can't lose their manners in front of the palace. ”

The eunuchs in this palace have been strictly selected and trained, and their speaking voices are neither high nor low, this is a basic skill, Gu Yimo said this, and any eunuch over thirty years old is like this.

"He has no grievances with you, why should he do such a poisonous act?" Liansheng couldn't figure it out.

"We don't know him at all." Gu Yimo didn't know why.

"Hmph, you boast that you are a beautiful lady, but you end up worrying about the child, I see, this person is fighting for the child." Xu Yan was angry when she heard Gu Yimo say that Miss Gao gave the child a slap, and she was indignant when she finished listening to her.

"yes, is it for that little kid?" Liansheng also felt that the crux of Yiqiē might be because of that child.

"No, just because Miss Gao hit that kid, she's going to kill us all? This is too cold-blooded and ruthless, isn't it? Gu Yimo's eyes widened when she heard this, not believing that this would be the case.

"What if that kid has a problem? Not because Miss Gao hit him, but because of what you saw? What do you hear? This is the reason why he was killed and killed! ”

Lian Sheng stared at Gu Yimo's eyes, she shook her head blankly: "In that courtyard, we really only met that child, and we didn't see anything else." ”

"Then it can only be because of this." Liansheng stood up: "The noble concubine Niangniang ordered me and Lord Wang to be in charge of this case, and you still need to wait in this courtyard for a few days." ”

Gu Yimo nodded: "Eldest sister, ...... there"

Liansheng suddenly smiled: "Your good sister, naturally you have to go to Niangniang to comfort Niangniang, don't be angry and angry about your idea." ”

Gu Yimo's face darkened: "Don't think that I will believe you if you sow discord." ”

Liansheng probe pointed at her face: "It's really sowing discord, don't believe it." She lowered her voice: "Gu Yimo, do you believe in the reincarnation of heaven?" ”

"What do you mean?"

"Ten years ago, you caused me to fall into the water, and ten years later, you yourself tasted almost drowning, it's very comfortable."

Gu Yimo patted the carved bed angrily: "Gu Liansheng, you came to investigate my today's matter on the order of Niangniang, and this is how you did things for Niangniang?" Do you want to take revenge privately? ”

"How can you repay virtue with virtue? I'm just reminding you that I'm not a person who doesn't distinguish between public and private, today's matter is a business matter, and I will naturally handle it, and I won't give up on your personal grievances just because you almost drowned. ”

Liansheng suddenly smiled, but his eyes were still cold: "Gu Yimo, just wait and see." (To be continued......)
