In the hall of Guo's mansion, all the maidservants stood with their hands down, silent, while all the masters sat quietly, and their faces were solemn as they had never been.

"Is it really incurable?" Princess Chen Liu asked.

Qi Guogong shook his head, sighed and said, "Mother, the imperial doctor has done his best, but he said that Dao'er's right hand was too seriously injured and he will never be able to hold a sword in the future." ”

Guo Dun's eyes flashed with a different color, and he couldn't help but say with a frosty face: "I really can't imagine that the son of the dignified Chen family would make such a heavy move, and it is in vain that our two families are still world friends." ”

Qi Guogong glanced at him warningly and said: "The sword is naturally ruthless on the competition field, Chen Hanxuan's martial arts are better than your fifth brother, and the injury of the guide is also indistinguishable, what is the use of you strange people!" ”

Qi Guogong said this, his face was also very ugly, he didn't expect that things would develop to this point, but he was invited by the emperor to participate in the competition, how could he abolish his right hand? For a person like Director Guo, suddenly let him abolish his right hand, isn't the martial arts he has learned over the years in vain? I want to know how sad Qi Guogong is in his heart, but he didn't show this kind of affection in front of Princess Chen Liu.

Mrs. Guo's whole body trembled heavily, and then calmed down, but the corners of her eyes were red, and her eyes were always drooping.

Princess Chen Liu cried a lot when she heard the news yesterday, and at this time she was already crying without tears, she blamed herself and said: "It's all my fault for not being good, if I hadn't asked Dao'er to participate in the competition, things wouldn't have been like this." ”

The eldest grandson's daughter-in-law, Jiang, next to her, hurriedly persuaded: "Grandmother don't worry, although the imperial doctor said that the fifth brother's right hand can't be cured for the time being, but let's go to find a famous doctor again, it may not be that there is no way, everything must be good." ”

Princess Chen Liu's face did not improve because of this persuasion, but sat there in a daze with a long sigh.

Chen Bingbing's eyes were full of self-blame, and he knelt down in public to plead guilty: "This matter is all my third brother's fault, if he hadn't done it too hard, it would definitely not be like this!" I'm going to let my father discipline him—"

"No, it's none of your business, get up." Princess Chen Liu helped her up and shook her head.

Chen Bingbing felt that her heart was like duckweed floating on water, very restless, and she wanted to know that her own brother had hurt her brother-in-law, in case the Guo family pursued or remembered it in her heart, what should she do? I couldn't help but scold Chen Hanxuan fiercely in my heart, and at this moment, I saw that Princess Chen Liu and the others didn't mean to blame her, so I was a little relieved.

Jiang patted Chen Bingbing's hand, turned around and said, "Grandmother, the fifth brother is already an arrogant person, let's not show sadness in front of him, didn't you go to visit him yesterday, but were stopped by the imperial doctor?" Today, his love has stabilized a lot, and I'll accompany you to see him later. ”

Jiang's face was kind, his smile was gentle, and his tone of voice was also very calm and flattering.

When Princess Chen Liu heard this soft voice, she couldn't help but nod and said, "That's fine, you two can go with me." Saying that, she stood up, left the hall with the support of her two granddaughters-in-law, and walked to the door of the hall, but she suddenly turned her head and glanced at Mrs. Guo, who had been silent, and finally sighed. Without saying anything more, he turned around and walked out.

As soon as Princess Chen Liu left, Mrs. Guo turned her head and stared at Qi Guogong, and said very seriously: "Guo Su, you and I have been husband and wife for many years, and I have never heard you tell me a lie, what happened yesterday?" You tell me the truth, as a mother, I have the right to know the truth. ”

Qi Guogong looked at his beloved wife and didn't say a word for a long time.

Li Weiyang, like Mrs. Guo, had been silent since just now, and when she heard Mrs. Guo say this, she also looked at Qi Guogong.

Guo Cheng couldn't help urging: "Father, is there anything hidden in this matter?" Why don't you tell the truth? ”

Qi Guogong glanced at his son, and under his eyes, it seemed that something had dissolved, because there was too much emotion, but it was difficult to decipher. There was a dead silence in the entire hall, and everyone could only hear the sound of the wind blowing outside, bringing a chill that made people's hearts palpitate.

Li Weiyang said slowly: "Father, we are all a family, in yesterday's game, I saw that the fifth brother's martial arts were obviously superior, and Chen Hanxuan's sword did not hurt the fifth brother's meridians, why can't he use his right hand?" That Imperial Physician only told you the truth of the matter, why did you refuse to tell us for a long time, and chose to hide it from your grandmother? ”

Qi Guogong's gaze swept over everyone's faces, and Li Weiyang's words were like a heavy hammer, smashing his heart at the same time, and also knocking away all kinds of feelings in his heart. He knew that the matter would not be hidden for a long time, so he said: "Yes, Dao'er was not so seriously injured because of that sword, the fundamental reason why he couldn't hold the sword was because the long sword was smeared with poison." ”

Mrs. Guo only felt a huge force attacking her, and then, she forcibly tore her whole person from head to toe, she looked at Qi Guogong in disbelief, her voice trembled: "What did you say?!" ”

Qi Guogong looked at his wife, his heart was sad, but his face was suppressed with all his might, and he said word by word: "The imperial doctor told me that Chen Hanxuan's sword was smeared with poison that can paralyze people's muscles, and if it is not treated in time, I am afraid that Dao'er's limbs will be completely wasted, not just a right arm." ”

Everyone's faces showed shocked expressions at this moment, especially Guo Dun, who said in disbelief: "Is this Chen Hanxuan crazy?" What kind of friendship does our Guo family and Chen family have, how could he do such a vicious thing? Is it just for a princess of Shouchun? ”

Li Weiyang's crystal clear eyes became condensed, she glanced at Guo Dun, but shook her head and said, "In my opinion, this matter may not be the Chen family's doing. ”

Everyone's eyes were focused on Li Weiyang for a while, and Mrs. Guo couldn't help but take a step forward and ask, "Jia'er, what do you mean by that?" ”

Li Weiyang glanced at Qi Guogong, nodded lightly to her, Li Weiyang's eyes suddenly became painful, and continued: "The Chen family has always been good friends with our Guo family, for the sake of a position as a concubine, they definitely have no need to do this, not to mention that the daughter of the Chen family is a daughter-in-law in our family, if Chen Hanxuan's poisoning is exposed, how should the mother and father treat Chen Bingbing?" I think that no matter how stupid the Chen family is, it is impossible to be stupid to this extent, so Chen Hanxuan's sword must have been tampered with, and the purpose of the people behind this scene is to provoke the Guo and Chen families to turn against each other. ”

The muscles on Qi Guogong's face trembled uncontrollably, he gritted his teeth and said, "What Jia'er said is good, this matter must not be done by the Chen family!" ”

Mrs. Guo turned around suddenly, her eyes were as cold as a sword, like ice, like a sharp blade in the world, and she said sharply: "But that sword is Chen Hanxuan's hand, and Dao'er's injury has nothing to do with him!" "Even though I knew that the poison was not caused by the Chen family, this feud was concluded.

She is a mother, and she can't forgive Chen Hanxuan no matter what!

Li Weiyang's eyes were dark, and when she saw Mrs. Guo showing a coldness that she had never seen before, her eyes showed an indescribable sorrow, and she sighed softly. No matter how generous the Guo family is, but the matter involves the youngest son of the Guo family, Guo Dao, Mrs. Guo will not let go no matter what.

A little seed of resentment is planted in the heart, and it doesn't seem to be anything, but as long as the right time comes, this seed will take root, sprout, and bloom the flower of evil, and eventually destroy the alliance between the two families.

Thinking of this, Li Weiyang walked up, held Mrs. Guo's arm, and said softly: "Mother, for the sake of the fifth brother's affairs, you have exhausted yourself and are overworked, in my opinion, you should go back and have a good rest first, if there is anything, it is not too late to talk about it when you have rested." ”

Mrs. Guo looked at Li Weiyang, the fierce color on her face gradually disappeared, replaced by tears in her eyes, and finally, she said with tears in her eyes: "But your fifth brother ......"

Li Weiyang patted her hand and said with a reluctant smile: "Mother, don't worry, the fifth brother is naturally here with us, and we will never let him do anything stupid." ”

Mrs. Guo sighed for a long time, and now she has no other way. At this moment, the housekeeper hurriedly entered the hall, saluted everyone, and then said, "Grandpa Guo, the Chen family is here." ”

The expressions of Qi Guogong and everyone in the family changed slightly, and then Mrs. Guo said with an angry face: "Sue them, don't see the guests!" As soon as these words came out, the butler's face was extremely difficult, he glanced at Qi Guogong, Qi Guogong shook his head lightly at him, and the housekeeper continued: "Grandpa Guo, Mrs. Chen who came this time." ”

Even Chen Shang, who was already ranked as the third prince, came in person, and the matter was not trivial, and Qi Guogong already understood that this time he had to see him. He glanced at his wife, and then comforted him in a low voice: "Madame, if there is anything, let's talk about it later, I must go and meet the people of the Chen family, this matter is very important, don't act rashly." After saying that, he glanced deeply at his wife, and then walked out with the butler.

Mrs. Guo sat down on the chair dejectedly, her face was haggard, her eyes were red and swollen from crying, Li Weiyang looked at her appearance, her heart ached slightly, she unconsciously became happy and sad with Mrs. Guo's joy, and at this moment seeing Mrs. Guo so sad, all she could do was surging with anger. is not only against the mastermind behind the scenes, but also a trace of anger at the Chen family, this Chen Hanxuan has an undeniable responsibility for this matter, if he is not careful, how can he take advantage of the other party and let people poison his sword? This is not anger, but because in such a matter, the Chen family is indeed responsible.

Guo Cheng stood up at this time and said to the maidservant next to him: "You help Mrs. go back to rest first, I still have something to say to Miss." ”

The girl next to her came over and helped Mrs. Guo to walk towards the inner hall. Li Weiyang turned his head, his eyebrows were deep, and he said to Guo Cheng: "Third brother, do you have anything to say to me?" ”

Guo Cheng's eyebrows frowned, and then stretched out, but his tone slowly became stagnant: "Jia'er, what should we do now?" ”

Li Weiyang raised his eyebrows lightly and said, "What to do?" ”

At this time, Guo Dun's face was pale, his temper has always been irritable, it is not easy to stay sober after this kind of thing, he walked up quickly, looked at Li Weiyang and said: "How to find out the person behind this scene?!" Little sister, you are the smartest, we all listen to you. ”

Li Weiyang shook her head gently, the depth in her eyes gradually faded, and slowly there was a sharp light, she said: "Actually, the people behind this scene are not difficult to guess, Chen Hanxuan blamed himself for hurting Director Guo, and he didn't pay much attention to the competition later, so who won in the end?" ”

Guo Cheng and Guo Dun glanced at each other, Guo Dun's face was slightly pale, and he gritted his teeth and said, "It turns out that it's him again, Pei Hui!" ”

Li Weiyang continued to look at him, and said very calmly, word by word: "The Pei family and the Guo family are old enemies, this time it is not strange for him to poison the fifth brother, but this person is vicious and vicious He did not directly attack, but used Chen Hanxuan to hurt the fifth brother, in this way, no matter whether we guess who is behind the scenes, we will form a disagreement with the Chen family, so this time, the head of the Chen family knows that the matter is strict, so he will come to ask for the guilt, in my opinion, he is afraid that even Chen Hanxuan also brought it." ”

Guo Dun's face was covered with a layer of frost, and he asked, "How can we avenge the fifth brother?" ”

Li Weiyang's eyes were like a little spark, flickering brightly and darkly, she sighed and said, "Pei Hui just won the game, and he injured the fifth brother, so it's time to be vigilant." Now is not the best time to move him, and we can only do it until the enemy is complacent and relaxes his vigilance, so we have to wait. ”

When Guo Dun heard this, he was about to say something, but Guo Cheng next to him pressed his shoulder.

Guo Cheng admires Li Weiyang very much, he thinks that he is already a very smart and calm person, but Li Weiyang can distinguish the head and tail and see the essence faster than him, he sees that the fifth brother is injured and has been messed up, but she can think about things very long-term. He quickly adjusted his emotions and replied, "You're right, we can't act rashly in this matter. ”

Guo Dun held back this breath and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you!" We naturally have to clean up this Pei Hui, but for the fifth brother, we also have to be comforted, I look at him as if he is wrong. ”

Guo Cheng nodded and said, "Little sister, maybe you persuade him to be better than us." He said something strange, Guo Dun couldn't help but glance back at Guo Cheng, I don't know what he meant by saying this.

But Li Weiyang understood what he was talking about, and the hall was silent, and even the sound of breathing was almost inaudible. It was obviously a taboo that was clear in an instant, but Li Weiyang could only pretend not to know and said, "Let's go." ”

The courtyard where Director Guo lived was very quiet, as soon as he entered, there was a large martial arts field, Li Weiyang looked at the lush bamboo forest full of swords and wooden stakes, and couldn't help but shake his head. Guo Dao is a noble son who is both civil and military, and his temperament is very proud, if he knows that he can't use his right hand to raise a sword in his life, this is probably a great blow. Just as a scholar cannot take the imperial examination, a farmer has no land, and a shepherd boy's lambs are all dragged away by wolves, these are all the worst things in the world, not only related to livelihood, but also completely destroy a person's mind. Li Weiyang sighed softly, and then walked quickly into the inner courtyard, but before he entered, he suddenly heard Director Guo's voice.

"Who's out there?"

The voice was very hearty, as if nothing had happened, Guo Cheng and Li Weiyang glanced at each other, and they didn't make a sound for a while. But it was Guo Dun, who was the most unscheming, who opened his mouth first, and he said loudly: "Fifth brother, let's come to see you!" With that, he pushed the door open and walked in quickly.

Princess Chen Liu and her two granddaughters-in-law were sitting inside, and when they saw them coming, Princess Chen Liu said with relief: "Jia'er, you came just in time, Haosheng help me take a look, what's wrong with your fifth brother?" ”

Li Weiyang glanced at Director Guo, but felt that his expression was as usual, his peach blossom eyes were still affectionate, and his face was smiling, as if he had not been affected in any way. Suppressing his surprise, Li Weiyang smiled and said, "Fifth brother, are you okay?" ”

Director Guo smiled warmly and said, "Of course I'm fine!" I should have asked you what was wrong, why did you come to my yard to visit me, but it was only a small injury, and it will be fine soon. As he said this, he subconsciously glanced at his tightly wrapped right arm.

Li Weiyang followed his gaze, Director Guo was stunned for a moment, and then slightly unnaturally turned sideways, avoiding her gaze, Li Weiyang frowned slightly, Director Guo clearly knew a qiē, but why did he pretend to be nothing? Could it be that he really didn't care about such a blow in his heart? No, it's impossible.

Princess Chen Liu couldn't help but speak: "Look at him, he still has no heart and no lungs to smile, what kind of evil is it?" Princess Chen Liu said while crying, Guo Dao comforted with gentle eyes: "Grandmother, it's all grandchildren who are not good, I made you sad." In the final analysis, I am useless in this competition, otherwise I will not lose to the son of the Chen family, don't be sad, I will get better soon. ”

Princess Chen Liu cried louder and louder, as people get older, their ability to bear it often becomes very poor, thinking about how decisive she was when she was young. Except for being a little too merciful to the Ren family and her three children, no one has ever dared to have the slightest disrespect in front of Princess Chen Liu, but over the years, Princess Chen Liu's personality has gradually become very gentle, even when she encounters this kind of thing, she can't say anything good to comfort Director Guo except crying.

Li Weiyang saw that Director Guo's brows were deeply twisted, but with a wry smile on her mouth, she sighed and walked up, and softly comforted Princess Chen Liu: "Grandmother, the fifth brother said that he was fine, as for his injuries, ......" glanced back at Director Guo, and saw that he looked calm, before continuing, "Fifth brother's injury, we will naturally find a good doctor to treat him, grandmother don't worry, if you cry and break your eyes, won't the fifth brother be in a hurry?" ”

Director Guo said yes, and several people coaxed and deceived him, and finally sent Princess Chen Liu away. Guo Dun glanced at Director Guo and subconsciously said, "Fifth brother, don't worry, we will definitely avenge you." ”

Director Guo's voice showed a hint of surprise and said, "Fourth brother, what nonsense are you talking about?" Let this matter be over, and no one should pursue it anymore. ”

Guo Cheng's pupils began to contract, and after a long time, Fang looked at Guo Dao and said, "Since you know everything, why ......?"

He didn't finish his words, but he heard Director Guo say firmly: "It's about the Chen family, don't act rashly, no matter what we do, it will make the people behind the scenes proud, so for the time being, we can only stand still and find an opportunity to pay tribute." When he said the words "return", his voice was extremely low and slow, almost word by word spit out between his teeth, and a strong hatred burst out of his eyes.

coincided with herself, Li Weiyang's gaze softened, if Director Guo could figure this out so quickly, then she would be relieved. It's just that he knows that there is a black hand behind his injury, and even Guo Dun is so angry, but Guo Dao, who is the person concerned, is so calm, it can be seen how calm and wise he is, Li Weiyang found that he had underestimated the fifth son of the Guo family in the past, she smiled lightly and said: "Since the fifth brother is fine, let's go back, don't disturb him to rest here." ”

When he left the yard, Li Weiyang couldn't help but turn around, the sun was blooming with warm colors, and Director Guo was standing quietly in front of the window, looking at her for a moment, the wind blew his green silk fluttering, but there was a faint sadness in his expression, such a look made Li Weiyang's heart suddenly unstable.

Li Weiyang walked out of the courtyard, her face was plain and cold, but there was a hint of evil in her eyebrows.

Zhao Yue said in a low voice: "Miss, look at ......"

Li Weiyang said quietly: "Send someone to keep an eye on Pei Hui for me, if there is any trouble, report it to me immediately." ”

Zhao Yue immediately responded: "Miss, don't worry." ”

After this happened, everyone took great care of Director Guo, and the elders of the Guo family seemed to feel sorry for this son, and cared for him very much, such feelings permeated the sky over Guo's mansion, if Director Guo went out, Princess Chen Liu would keep saying in his ear, let him come back sooner, don't linger outside, in case something happens. And Guo Cheng and Guo Dun stayed by his side for a moment, as if he wanted to commit suicide without a meeting.

Such overprotection looked in Li Weiyang's eyes, but she secretly shook her head, in her opinion, Director Guo is a person with very strong self-esteem, and he shouldn't be able to stand such care. Sure enough, the excessive affection of the Guo family made Director Guo retreat from them, and they were often not in the yard, and Mrs. Guo went to look for them several times, but she didn't see Director Guo. Even once I went in the middle of the night only to find that Director Guo sneaked in from the small courtyard door next to him, still full of alcohol, Mrs. Guo was distressed and angry, but there was no way.

Li Weiyang knew that Director Guo must not be able to let go of the events of the day, and the love of the Guo family forced him further, so she wanted to find an opportunity to have a good talk with Princess Chen Liu and others, and not to hurt Director Guo's self-esteem with excessive care, but she didn't expect that it was too late to act at this time.

That night, the girl went to the courtyard of the fifth young master to deliver sweet soup, but found that the fifth young master was not in the house, so she was in a hurry and hurriedly went to inform Mrs. Guo. Mrs. Guo originally just thought that Director Guo was just going out to drink with friends in general, but she didn't care, but for three days, Director Guo didn't come back, Mrs. Guo couldn't help but get anxious, and sent someone to look for a friend who was familiar with Director Guo, and finally even went through the whole thing, but she couldn't find Director Guo. Things have come to this point, but they are very strict, Guo Cheng and Guo Dun are as anxious as ants on a hot pot, looking around all day long. In addition to arranging for people to search, Guo Su, the Duke of Qi, also wrote a letter to Jing Zhaoyi, asking him to lead people to search in the city, but no matter how he searched, Guo Dao was like a stone sinking into the sea, and he couldn't find it.

Li Weiyang knew that Yuan Lie was smart and cunning, and there were many channels that ordinary people did not have, so he entrusted the matter to Yuan Lie, so Yuan Lie secretly ordered his spies to search in Dadu for a long time, and suddenly gave Li Weiyang a message, saying that the fifth son of the Guo family was drunk in a very dilapidated restaurant. To put it very tactfully, it is not so much a restaurant, but a Qinglou Chu Pavilion, which is still a very inferior one.

Guo Su, the Duke of Qi Guo, personally went to the small restaurant to find Director Guo, but he was so drunk that he didn't know that the Guo family was looking for him. Qi Guogong couldn't wake up no matter how he screamed, so he forcibly suppressed his anger and asked Guo Dun to be carried back. When Mrs. Guo saw her son, who she hadn't seen for a long time, she burst into tears, ordered her maid to bring hot water, and then wiped his forehead herself.

Guo Cheng persuaded Qi Guogong to go back to rest, but Guo Su, the Duke of Qi, was as cold as frost, and he said coldly: "No need, I will wait for him to wake up and ask him in person what is going on!" ”

Li Weiyang just felt strange, she knew that Director Guo had been avoiding the excessive care of the Guo family recently, but he was a smart and restrained person, and he would never act excessively, this time he suddenly disappeared, and he was still found in that kind of place, which was really outrageous, not at all like Director Guo's style.

Director Guo fell asleep for three hours, and when he woke up again, his face was very haggard, and he looked at everyone with an incredible look on his face.

Guo Cheng saw that Qi Guogong's face was not good, and he hurriedly asked, "Fifth brother, what is the matter with you?" Why did you leave home for so long, but you didn't tell us, do you know how anxious my father and mother are?! ”

Director Guo only felt a splitting headache, he frowned slightly, shook his head and said, "I don't know either." He held his head as if he was in great pain.

Qi Guogong's eyes were extremely sharp, and he looked at Director Guo fixedly, forcibly suppressing the anger that was about to erupt. The son of the Guo family can not understand martial arts, he can be talented, but he must not be a bastard who is willing to degenerate!

Seeing that her husband looked extremely annoyed, Mrs. Guo hurriedly ordered someone to bring the sobering soup. Director Guo drank the sobering soup, but his head was not much clearer, he looked at his father and other family members, but his eyes were even more confused.

Qi Guogong said coldly: "Is it better?" If it's better, sit upright, I have something to ask you. ”

Director Guo opened his mouth, as if he wanted to explain, but Qi Guogong's expression of wanting to sentence him made him hold back and didn't say anything.

Qi Guogong's voice was very cold: "I have cultivated you for so many years, I thought that you were a child with a smart head, who knew the severity and would definitely not do foolish things, but this time you are too outrageous, can you leave home and make your mother sad if you hurt your hand?" What kind of truth is this, the Guo family's teaching to you for many years has gone there! So much so that you refused to go home even if you lingered in the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion?! Do you know that this matter is spreading everywhere, and it is already full of wind and rain in the city, are you sincere in trying to make the Guo family unable to raise their heads?! ”

Director Guo stroked his eyebrows with his hand and lowered his head slightly, but he was completely shocked.

Li Weiyang saw Director Guo's expression, but she didn't seem to understand what Qi Guogong was saying at all, and she couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in her heart, she looked at Director Guo and asked, "Fifth brother, have you encountered anything strange in the past few days?" ”

In Li Weiyang's view, Director Guo may be sad, sad, or debauched, but he definitely did not get to the point of slumping because of this incident, or even not returning for a few nights.

He loves his mother very much, and he cares about his family very much, and he will never do anything that makes them sad, so why did he get drunk in the Qinglou Chu Pavilion?

In fact, Qi Guogong inevitably misunderstood Director Guo, and had already sent someone to question those people carefully, but they all said that the sons of the Guo family had been drinking there for the past few days, and they had been drunk unconscious, and they didn't know anything else. Li Weiyang vaguely felt that there was something strange about this matter, but he couldn't tell what was strange.

Director Guo knew that no matter what he said, Qi Guogong would not believe it, so he shook his head violently, but he suddenly stood up and said in a cold voice: "I'm fine, you don't have to worry." With that, he staggered out.

Qi Guogong said angrily: "You stop me!" ”

Before he finished his words, Mrs. Guo stopped him distressedly: "The child has already returned, why do you still scold him, there is still something wrong with us in this matter." She said this, but Qi Guogong couldn't say a word.

Indeed, if they hadn't asked Director Guo to participate in such a competition, Director Guo would not have fallen to the point where he is now, and his son's current depression is very different from them. As a parent, he always takes all the blame on himself, and Mrs. Guo and Qi Guogong at this time are very guilty, and it is not good to blame him too much, so they can only let Director Guo leave like this.

Li Weiyang went back and thought about it all night, and felt more and more that this matter was very wrong, she thought about it and decided to find Director Guo to ask things clearly. So, early the next morning, she was ready to go to Director Guo, but she had just walked to the garden, but she almost collided with someone who walked on the bridge.

She stopped, but couldn't help but be surprised, the person in front of her was Director Guo, but his expression and clothes were very weird. In the past, Director Guo paid great attention to appearance, and his hair was meticulous, but now, there are a few strands hanging down from his forehead, faintly connecting with his long eyebrows. The eyes are slanted like peach blossoms, with depressed edges and corners. Although it was spring at this time, the weather was also a little cool, but Director Guo in front of him was just wearing a soft robe with fluttering sleeves, but he really had a dusty posture.

What's more, Director Guo's face was still a little red, very comfortable, as if he was drunk.

But - did you drink early in the morning? Or did yesterday's wine not wake up?

Li Weiyang was surprised: "Fifth brother, what's wrong with you?" ”

Director Guo laughed instead, he stepped forward, grabbed Li Weiyang's sleeve, and then asked with a smile: "Jia'er, why are you here?" I thought you hated me. ”

Li Weiyang frowned slightly, confused by his inexplicable question.

When Director Guo saw her displeasure, he seemed to be more awake all of a sudden, he immediately lowered his eyelids, and his thick, long and dense eyelashes covered the eye area thinly, covering up his slightly crazy gaze, Li Weiyang wanted to ask something, but Director Guo immediately let go of her, his face was a little sad, and he smiled slightly: "I should go." After he finished saying this, he suddenly walked over to Li Weiyang's side lightly.

At this time, the Guo family brothers, who were also worried about Director Guo, also came together, and when they saw Director Guo like this, they hurriedly went up to stop him.

And Director Guo just pushed Guo Dun away and said coldly: "Go away." ”

Guo Dun's face was stunned, and he rushed up to stop Guo Dao, the soft silk twisted and deformed under his fingers: "What's the matter with you?" If there is anything unhappy in our hearts, let's fight. This is the way the Guo brothers habitually solve problems.

At this time, Li Weiyang noticed that something was wrong, and she hurriedly said, "Fourth brother! Let the fifth brother go. ”

Guo Dun looked at Li Weiyang, looking very surprised, Li Weiyang shook his head at him gently, Guo Dun frowned tightly, but he still obediently stepped aside. Guo Cheng had already seen that something was wrong, he watched Director Guo leave, and turned to look at Li Weiyang, "What's going on?" ”

A hint of coldness appeared in Li Weiyang's eyes, she turned around suddenly, looked at the attendant who had been following Director Guo, but was timidly preparing to escape from her at this moment, and said coldly: "What is the fifth prince doing?" ”

As if he had made a big mistake, the attendant fell to his knees with a thud, "Childe...... Childe ...... "He didn't finish his words, but the sweat on his forehead rolled down in large pieces.

Li Weiyang's eyes were slightly dark, and his voice suddenly became cold: "Explain it clearly!" ”

The man lowered his head and said word by word: "Childe, this is a dispersion." ”

Guo Cheng's face changed suddenly, he walked up quickly, grabbed the man's collar, but his knuckles were faintly white, and said angrily: "What were you talking about just now?" Say it again! ”

The man lowered his head, but the cold sweat had already wet his clothes, and he trembled and said: "Childe took Xiaoyaosan, so he was in Xingsan just now" As soon as he finished speaking, Guo Cheng had already slapped him violently, and said sharply: "Nonsense, how could the fifth brother touch that kind of dirty thing!?" ”

Li Weiyang was stunned when she heard this, and then she looked at Guo Dun, only to see that her fourth brother's expression was very strange, and she couldn't help asking, "What does Xingsan mean?" What is that loose and scattered? ”

Guo Dun didn't speak, just stared at the attendant as well, his eyes bursting with fire.

Guo Cheng left the attendant and tried to calm his mood, "This Xiaoyaosan was originally invented by the divine doctor of the previous dynasty to cure typhoid fever, but later people discovered his wonders, and after taking it, his heart was opened, and he would not be bound by the mortal world, and he had a feeling of ascending to the fairy world, and he no longer had anything to worry about." So to the time of the first emperor, many famous nobles are very fond, free to scatter a good life swept for a while, such a wonderful elixir, but it is very dangerous to eat, after taking must eat cold food, drink hot wine, wear thin clothes, walk quickly to dissipate the heat of the body, must not stop, otherwise there will be a danger to life, so people call this behavior Xingsan. ”

Li Weiyang frowned, and she spoke: "Being able to forget your troubles and be in a fairyland, it's no wonder that the fifth brother will take it and scatter." ”

But Guo Cheng abruptly cut off her words and said, "No, this thing is absolutely inedible!" People who take Xiaoyaosan will become addicted after a long time, and this addiction can't be quit at all, after a long time, people will gradually lose weight, until they die as thin as bones, the fifth brother knows clearly, how can he be confused! ”

Li Weiyang's face changed, she didn't expect the effect of Xiaoyaosan to be so terrifying, but she heard Guo Dun next to her continue: "It's because Xiaoyaosan has so many harms, so in the first emperor's dynasty, it has been banned, I originally thought that this thing would never appear in Yuexi again, but I didn't expect that now the fifth brother is also taking this Xiaoyaosan." ”

When Li Weiyang heard them say this, his heart sank, and he frowned and said, "Did you just say that this medicine is a forbidden drug?" ”

Guo Dun nodded and said, "Yes, if you let others know that the fifth brother is taking this medicine, I'm afraid it will be ......."

Before he finished his words, Li Weiyang already understood that taking the medicine forbidden by the royal family was a great sin of disobedience, not to mention the harm of the medicine itself...... Even if it is not discovered by others, it must not be taken, why did Director Guo do such a foolish thing?

Guo Cheng took a deep breath, looked at Li Weiyang and said, "We must have a good talk with him." ”

Li Weiyang nodded lightly, and she faintly felt that there seemed to be a hand behind her that was pushing the development of this qiē......

Li Weiyang entered Director Guo's study, but saw a paperweight next to the desk, with a stack of rice paper pressed underneath, she took out the rice paper, flipped through it casually, and looked very seriously. Director Guo's painting is exquisite, the lines are even more beautiful, the woman depicted in black ink on the painting, the demeanor is cold, or lazy, or leisurely, or elegant, or graceful, or graceful, all of them are Chu Chu moving, slender posture, a few brushstrokes, her demeanor is vividly outlined.

Li Weiyang was stunned, although she herself is not very good at painting, but she is not completely ignorant of painting, although the skill of the person who paints is perfect, but looking at his feelings for the person in this painting, it seems that he is also emotional. If it weren't for that, how could you use a brush to vividly show the beauty of this woman.

The attendants who were waiting in the study lowered their heads, not daring to look at the young master of the Guo family, the fifth young master always painted day and night, as if he was enchanted, but he didn't know what he was painting.

Guo Dun next to him glanced at it and couldn't help but be surprised: "Little sister, isn't this you?" Then he couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Why did the fifth brother draw so many portraits of you?" "He was careless, but he didn't think much of it.

Guo Cheng next to him sighed slightly, and his voice tightened: "Fourth brother, you ......" is really stunned.

Li Weiyang was stunned for a long time, but in the end, he smiled lightly, as if he hadn't seen these paintings, and was ready to put them back in place. But at this time, Guo Dao was dispersed, and when he heard that they were here, he had already hurriedly walked in, and when he saw the rice paper in Li Weiyang's hand, his face instantly turned like ashes.

Before Li Weiyang could explain, Guo Cheng had already said: "Little sister, you can persuade the fifth brother, let's go." Saying that, he had already carried the inexplicable Guo Dun and walked out, and ordered the attendants in the study to also withdraw.

Guo Dun hurriedly said: "Hey, third brother, don't pull me!" I still have something to say to my fifth brother! Before he finished his words, he was pulled out by Guo Cheng, and then slammed the door shut.

Director Guo's face was unprecedentedly ugly, but Li Weiyang looked at him, his eyes were very calm, as if he hadn't discovered the secret he was hiding in his heart.

Director Guo's eyes fell on Li Weiyang's body, and he only felt that his throat was hoarse, but he didn't know what to say, until he heard Li Weiyang's voice say softly: "I know, the fifth brother has always liked me, right." ”

Director Guo looked at her in a daze, his face suddenly turned pale, and Li Weiyang said seriously: "I only ask you, yes or no." ”

The room was quiet, only two people breathed, very light and calm.

Guo Dao didn't speak for a long time, and in the end, he finally mustered up all the courage to look at her, and his voice had already become condensed: "It's me who is amorous, so what?" You don't know. ”

Li Weiyang smiled, but said sincerely: "Thank you." ”

Director Guo was stunned, almost dumbfounded. Li Weiyang's smile was as calm as usual, and she looked at Director Guo and said, "Actually, the reason why you haven't said it is because I'm afraid that we won't be able to get along as calmly and harmoniously as we do now, right?" You are special to me, I can see it a long time ago, this kind of thing can always be hidden, but I know that the fifth brother is a high-minded person, and sooner or later he will figure it out. If I were your sweetheart, one day this relationship would fade away, cool down, and become ugly. But if I had always been your sister, then we would always be together, and family ties could not be separated no matter what. You say, don't you? ”

Director Guo wanted to open his mouth to say something, but he couldn't say a thousand words, and looked at Li Weiyang in a daze, she said this in front of him frankly. Why did the other party not care at all when the things he had been trying to hide were exposed?

Unable to tell whether it should be loss or sadness, he looked at her fixedly, and after a moment, he understood.

When she suddenly found him, he felt like he had fallen under a cliff, and at that moment, he couldn't think, speak, or even forget to breathe.

A certain voice said in the bottom of her heart: You must hide it, if she knows, she will only get deep disgust.

But another voice was in my ear, seductively saying: Why can't you let her know? Didn't you paint her portrait day and night? If she knew, maybe ......

His hand clenched and loosened, and clenched again, but he still couldn't contain the trembling that came from his soul. In the end, he laughed, his eyebrows raised slightly, he had always been afraid that Li Weiyang would know, he was worried about destroying this harmonious atmosphere, and now Li Weiyang knew his thoughts, but he didn't care at all. There was only one reason for this: he really couldn't get into her heart.

In the past, the more he hid, the more uncomfortable he felt, but now that he said it all at once, and was seen through by the other party, he felt a sense of relief, and his heart did not have the tension just now, but there was a loss: "I thought you would blame me, or scold me angrily, isn't this what an ordinary woman would do?" Treat those who prey on you. ”

"Fifth brother is my relative, you like me, I'm very happy, why should I blame you for dealing with others?" Li Weiyang smiled lightly, "Also, these paintings are very well drawn, I don't know if they can be given to me." ”

Director Guo smiled again, and in his smile, something was slowly melting.

Li Weiyang's voice was a little sighing, "No one has painted me so beautifully, the fifth brother won't be reluctant, right?" ”

Director Guo waved his hand and said generously: "If you like it, take it all." ”

Li Weiyang looked at him and just smiled, but in fact, she breathed a long sigh of relief in her heart, and she was able to untie Director Guo's heart knot before she could continue to speak, and then she said with a straight face: "Fifth brother, what happened yesterday?" ”

Director Guo seemed to have expected her to ask like this, he looked at her quietly, and did not speak for a moment, Li Weiyang looked at him, and said quietly: "I believe that the fifth brother is an extremely smart person, and he has long known the danger of being scattered, and you will not take the initiative to touch this thing." ”

Director Guo's eyes suddenly brightened, he looked at Li Weiyang and said, "Do you believe me, do you really believe me?" ”

Li Weiyang nodded and said: "Fifth brother is exquisite, he will not be confused, and you are by no means the kind of person who worries my mother, so I feel very strange no matter how I think about this matter, yesterday because my father was angry, you are inconvenient to explain, now what can't we discuss?" ”

Director Guo sighed and said loudly: "In the past, the three of us went to eavesdrop on my father's words, why did you use this trick against me?" Stop eavesdropping and come out! ”

The window opened with a hula, Li Weiyang was slightly surprised, but when he saw the faces of Guo Dun and Guo Cheng, Guo Dun said curtly: "We don't care about you." As he spoke, two men jumped in from the window, one after the other.

Director Guo sighed and said, "I wanted to sue you yesterday about this matter, but I was afraid that my mother would be worried and didn't say it." ”

Guo Cheng saw his strange expression, so he immediately said: "Now just a few of us, everything can be said, and we will help you bear it together." ”

Director Guo finally nodded and said: "Actually, the last time, I always suspected that the Pei family did it, so I made an appointment with Chen Hanxuan and wanted to talk to him secretly, but I didn't know what was going on, I was kidnapped inexplicably, and the guards around me were all gone." For three days I was dizzy all the time, knowing only that I had been drugged, but I did not know what it was, and when I came to my senses, I found myself in the tavern, and when I came back, I carefully studied the powder on my clothes, and found that it was a loose thing. ”

After he finished saying this, he heard Guo Dun slam a hole in the table: "This person from the Chen family is really hateful!" The other three all looked at him with hatred. Guo Dun couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said, "What? Do you still think that this matter has nothing to do with the Chen family? ”

Director Guo immediately said: "Of course it has nothing to do with it, then Chen Hanxuan didn't come at all, so I suspect that someone had already premeditated this matter and deliberately lured me to get away with it!" ”

Li Weiyang looked at Director Guo, but sighed lightly: "The fifth brother obviously knows, but why do you want to touch that Xiaoyaosan?" ”

Director Guo didn't speak, but his eyes were deep. Guo Cheng gritted his teeth and said: "Once you touch this kind of thing, you will become addicted, if you want to quit, it is more uncomfortable than death!" There was once someone who wanted to quit Xiaoyaosan, and even wanted to cut off his head, and finally went crazy to death. The person behind him, his mind is too vicious, he doesn't kill the fifth brother, it is by no means merciful, but to completely destroy him! ”
