Chapter Forty-Eight: The Ming Mansion was detained
Lightning tore through the night sky, and heavy rain poured down.
On the ground, Xiao Xiaoshen roared angrily, suppressing the thunder.
"Don't touch her"
At the moment when he pulled out the embroidered spring knife, An Hong's eyes were sick, and he quickly waved his gesture, signaling Xichang Tiqi to rush up.
The two of them protected the overseer Minglan, and the rest each held a sword and surrounded Xiao Xiaoshen.
With the sound of "Zheng", the saber was unsheathed, and the cold light flowed through the blade, sweeping the rain curtain.
The fierce battle soon began, the swords and swords shuttled back and forth in the lightning storm, and the metal collided, friction and loud shouts swept through the thunder and roar, shaking the sky.
On that side, Gu Yunxi's figure was like sitting up from the rain puddle, with intense tinnitus and eyes full of Venus.
She gritted her teeth, forced her head numb by the dense rain line, and raised her gaze to meet Minglan's eyes.
Through the chaotic rain curtain, his eyes were unclear, and the slender and bright figure stood still at the moment.
"Give me the antidote"
Gu Yunxi shouted head-on.
"Smack"
Another slap on the side of the face, her emaciated body, fell into the rain again.
"Cloud Tide"
Xiao Xiaoshen shouted to this side, and the knife in his hand kept swinging and falling.
I can't remember how many people I fell, and I didn't care about how many injuries I had on myself, but I saw that the clusters of red flowers in front of me had just bloomed, and they were ruthlessly knocked down by the rain.
The intruders around him were like layers of impenetrable walls, no matter how frantically he fought back, he could never break through and approach the girl.
Ming Lan panted roughly, took two quick steps in front of Gu Yunxi, and the dusty golden silk python soap boots flew all the way.
The eunuch holding the umbrella followed closely with the overseer, and under Minglan's anger, he suddenly turned around coldly, flew at him violently, and kicked over with the umbrella.
The pouring rain poured on Minglan's body, wetting his hat and official robe, and drenching the carefully depicted makeup on his face.
At this moment, he seemed to ignore this, just stood in the rain without shelter, and raised his hand in anger again in the face of the girl who was covered in wet dirt.
The little man tossed and turned in the rain with difficulty, choked by the rain and coughed violently, and a mouthful of turbid blood spurted out.
The poison of the Soul Scattering in her was set in at this time. The strange pain of the internal organs is like cooking in oil, like deboning and cutting meat.
Her body twitched in the rain, and she rolled violently, letting out a terrible wail.
The blood, black and viscous, spurted out of the mouth and fell into the rain, immediately drowning in the water like ink, and the thousands of strands melted away, enchanting and weird.
Minglan looked at it in a daze, and his hand in the air was clenched into a fist at the moment it drooped.
There were several crisp sounds in succession, and the nails that had been cultivated for a long time were bent and broken four times. Blood oozed from the fingertips, pooled in the palms, and dripped down.
Dealing with the pain of the ten fingers and even the heart, Minglan didn't seem to feel it at all, and he didn't even frown. The cold and sharp gaze that looked down at the mournful fiery red figure finally softened inch by inch in the baptism of heavy rain.
"If you want an antidote, come to Bento. You beg me, and I will give it to you! But you, you...... He threatened me with his own life."
Minglan roared hoarsely.
In today's form, it is a situation in which the east and west factories check and balance each other.
Leng Qingtang's East Factory cracked the corruption and speculation case of Muyang Buzheng Shi Jia Shuren, and rescued two tribute girls who had wandered in a foreign country. One step further, you can get the handle to punish the entire Wan clan.
And Xichang did not show weakness, and directly controlled the antidote that determined Leng Qingtang's life and death in his hands.
Minglan knew that if he didn't hand over the antidote, Leng Qingtang would definitely die. His death can be regarded as a major political enemy of Xichang.
However, at present, the major problem faced by the West Factory is that the East Factory has made a big deal and introduced silver cars into the imperial city, so that Emperor Xiao and even the entire Jingcheng City are aware of the Jia Shuren case.
The criminal has been punished, even if Leng Qingtang is dead, Gu Yunxi is also dead, and all the 10,000 guards of the Quandongchang are dead, the imperial court will also send others to continue to pursue Jia Shuren's relationship network and continue the follow-up case. So one day, trouble will find Wan's head.
This is the cunning of Leng Qingtang's way of dealing with the world. He knew that for all of this, his opponents would not dare to put him to death easily.
On the other hand, aside from the case, let's just talk about the imperial concubine Wan Yuyao. As long as she didn't want Leng Qingtang to die, Xichang didn't dare to trespass, and casually disposed of Leng Qingtang.
But Leng Qingtang lives for a day, and his East Factory will be a threat to the Wan family sooner or later. If you want to blackmail Leng Qingtang, Wan Yuyao must have a powerful trump card in her hands.
In this way, if Gu Yunxi has a good deal, the Wan clan loses the chess piece that restricts Leng Qingtang, and the consequences are unbearable.
All of the above is that Gu Yunxi was able to stand outside the door of Minglan's mansion on a rainy day, and he was bold enough to raise his arm to ask for a solution
The reason for the medicine!
Minglan knew better that the reason why Fang Cai's self was so angry and scolded her like a demon was not because her self-harm would threaten Wan and Xichang, but because she could spare her life for the sake of Leng Qingtang. Minglan saw it in his eyes, and he was always uncomfortable in his heart!
That momentum, sour and vaguely painful, like the pain of being overwhelmed by an inexplicable sense of separation, just for her persistence, her persistence that refuses to give up, and the persistence of protecting the beloved in her heart
The torrential rain washed the land violently, and the water was no longer bare to the feet.
"Gu Yunxi"
Seeing that her face was so painful that her face was twisted, but she crawled towards him step by step, Minglan suddenly lost her heart, screamed and knelt down in the rain, stretched out her arms to pick her up and hugged her tightly.
"You're so stupid! For Leng Qingtang, did he really want to die? If you are a dead fellow, you don't know how to give in? You're trying to me off."
"Minglan, give me the antidote......"
Gu Yunxi's little face couldn't tell which was rain and which was tears. The cold and unwarm hand trembled and grabbed the hem of his clothes, and a mouthful of blood sprayed on him.
Minglan completely ignored this, and in a pair of crystal eyes, only the image of the miserable white and translucent little face was engraved.
"You don't know him at all......"
After finishing speaking, Minglan hooked his lips bitterly, and said quietly:
"Ben Du will give you the antidote immediately, and Ben Du will also teach you to recognize Leng Qingtang well!"
Overly decisive, he ordered his subordinates:
"Bring the antidote!"
An Hong didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly turned around and ran into the house. After a while, people turned back and held a small red glazed wooden box between their hands.
"Give it to him!"
Minglan hugged Gu Yunxi tightly and didn't let go, and shook his head impatiently at Xiao Xiaoshen.
The fight stopped as early as when Gu Yunxi's body was poisonous, and Xiao Xiaoshen was outnumbered and fell into the majestic rain due to physical exhaustion.
Dozens of wounds up and down his body were bleeding, and the bright red color soaked half of the torrential rain.
An Hong walked up to Xiao Xiaoshen in a few steps, raised his eyebrows proudly, and threw the box into the rain casually.
"Take it."
He looked directly at the loser condescendingly, and there was a hint of mockery in the corner of his mouth:
"When you rescue Father-in-law Leng, don't forget to remind him that his life was exchanged for his own woman."
Xiao Xiaoshen roared, lying in the water and rekindling his anger, his cloudy eyes widened, and the scarlet eyes seemed to be able to ooze blood.
Gritting his teeth and bracing his arms, he wanted to struggle to stand up and fight again. After stumbling twice, he was still paralyzed in the rain.
"Brother Xiaoshen, quickly bring the antidote back...... See the Overseer......"
Laughing at Xiao Shen and being tired, as if he had fulfilled his last wish, Gu Yunxi suddenly lightened his body and closed his eyes peacefully.
"Cloud Tide"
Xiao Xiaoshen raised his arm to her, and then he was involved in a pain in his armpit.
He couldn't move anymore, and sadly picked up the red glazed wooden box and held it tightly in the palm of his hand, his face full of cold rain and hot tears.
Seeing Minglan hugging her into the house, everyone in the West Factory followed.
The noisy street fell silent again. Between heaven and earth, only the rain curtain of white flowers fell non-stop, and the sound of "whooshing" water was deafening.
Imperial Palace, Dawn Night
Gu Yunyao woke up from the nightmare, with a shout of "ah", her upper body bounced up from the pear Arhat bed of the bamboo forest carved moon rabbit.
"Master! What's wrong with the master? ”
Songqin, who was on duty at night, heard the sound, lifted his skirt and ran into the dormitory with broken steps, and leaned in front of his feet.
The frightened complexion did not recede from Yingyue's face, and at this time, Gu Yunyao glared at the embroidered curtains that were blown and danced lightly by the wind, and the voice of inquiry trembled with timidity:
"What time is it?"
"Back to the master, it will not start until the time."
"Oh," Gu Yunxi closed his eyes slightly, stroked his palm over his chest, and asked, "What about Gonggong Zhao." ”
"Back to the master, Gonggong Zhao is not on duty tonight, and he has already slept in the ear room."
"Look at my memory...... At dinner, he once said......"
Gu Yunyao pressed her fingers to her eyebrows and whispered.
Song Qin walked to the table and poured a cup of tea, returned to the bed and delivered it to Gu Yunyao, and asked with concern:
"Master, did you have a nightmare?"
"Hmm," Gu Yunyao took a slight sip and moved her gaze to the candle flame on the table. The starry orange light swayed, lighting up the dim eyes on the bed.
"Hongu had just dreamed of Yunxi, who was trapped in a large iron cage with several vicious jackals. Those wolves are waving their teeth and claws at her. When she saw this palace, she cried: Sister, save me......"
There was a little wave in his eyes, and when Song Qin saw it, he hurriedly persuaded:
"Master, dreams at night are all reversed. You dream of the little master, and you think about it every day. When the little master encounters danger in the dream, it must be in reality
You don't have to worry about it. ”
Gu Yunyao sighed sadly and shook her head:
"Although Dongchang handled two major cases some time ago, Leng Qingtang has the tendency to restore power. But that's even weirder! It stands to reason that Yunxi is happy and must get in touch with this palace early in the morning.
If you are busy with official business and it is inconvenient to make an appointment, you should always send a message. Now that the past few days have passed, why can't I hear the slightest news from her?
She followed Leng Qingtang for a day, and the palace couldn't feel at ease. No, Songqin, you will let Zhao An get in touch with the outside early tomorrow morning, and arrange for Yunxi to meet with the palace as soon as possible. ”
"Yes, the slave has written it down."
Song Qin bowed his head, took the teacup in the little master's hand, and comforted:
"Master, the hour is still early, and the slave and maid will serve you to lie down and sleep again. Rest assured, the little master will be safe and smooth, and everything will be fine. ”
"Naturally, Hongu hopes so."
Gu Yunyao sighed again, and then Song Qin helped her lie down, tucked the corners of the quilt, slowly closed her eyes and continued to sleep.
Minglan House
In the bedroom, Minglan sat on the chair with roses inlaid with jade mountains and sea carvings, and his whole body was already soaked.
But he didn't change his clothes or take off his hat, he didn't care about his unkempt hair, he just looked straight at Gu Yunxi, who was asleep on the bed, and didn't move.
Beside him, a small eunuch was busy, bandaging and medicating the fingers of the overseer's broken nails.
The house was in a hurry, healing and pouring medicine, and finally pulled the poisoned Gu Yunxi back from the ghost gate.
An Hong stood diagonally behind Minglan with a dumbfounded expression.
What a crazy and sleepless night!
An Hong secretly wondered that his overseer had gone mad this night.
How could his overseer, such a beauty-loving and clean-minded man, allow himself to be drenched in the rain, and how could he allow the rain to spoil his makeup?
His overseer has always kept his boots dusty, and he cherishes every pair of soap boots. Every half a day must be replaced with a pair, and each time the old boots are changed, they must be dusted several times by their subordinates.
How could his overseer allow others to stain his white robe with blood? Even if you are overly emotional, how can you be willing to break your carefully polished nails?
How could his overseer allow a man covered in water and mud to lie on his carved frame bed scented with flower dew?
The Overseer is crazy! The Overseer is no longer the Overseer he used to be
At this moment, the figure of the lost soul hanging on the rose chair is even more sad and lost than the time when the spring banquet in the palace happened and Leng Qingtang was sent to the prison!
"Anzi ......"
There was silence for a long time, and the person in the chair finally had a voice.
Advent hurriedly approached.
I saw the overseer's pale lips squirming mechanically, and he said softly:
"Ben Governor, Ben Governor tonight...... I'm afraid I'm crazy......"
An Hong's body and mind were suddenly shocked, and it turned out that the Overseer also knew that he was indeed abnormal.
At this time, the governor was the most moody, and Anhong did not dare to speak rashly, but bowed his back and was a humble listener.
"Ben Du has been thinking just now, if there is no plan in advance, Ben Du only wants Leng Qingtang to die, at that time this little cat came to ask for an antidote, what should Ben Du do? Will it be on a whim that he really gave her the antidote and spared Leng Qingtang's life? ”
“……”
Ann Hong raised his eyes silently, looked at the Overseer, and then quickly lowered his chin.
At this moment, he knew this question in his heart, but he did not dare to speak out in front of the overseer. I'm afraid that he doesn't need to answer, and the Overseer's heart already has an answer at this moment.
Minglan's voice has always been gloomy and sharp, and it is rare to have a low and lonely voice at this time.
He looked at the person on the bed intently, and said slowly with a dazed expression:
"This little cat has always been arrogant and arrogant, and if it weren't for the pain of the poison today, she would never have let Ben Du hold her in her arms. When he hugged her, Ben Du felt as if he had been poked in the heart. ”
An Hong was speechless, his eyes turned, and he lowered his eyebrows and said:
"Overseer, this Gu ...... Isn't Miss Yun already in the house? You tossed around for her all night, and you were drenched in the rain and the wind and cold. If you let someone serve you to bathe and renew, you go to sleep, and your subordinates watch her for you. ”
Minglan didn't seem to hear it, got up slowly, and came to the bed step by step.
The fingers wrapped in the wounded cloth gently rubbed Gu Yunxi's swollen cheeks, and there was a slight soft feeling flowing in the deep eyes.
Looking at her sleeping peacefully, Minglan said to herself:
"Such a stupid little guy, in the deep palace in the future, that kind of place where people eat people, she is afraid that she will have to fight for a long time. Only in this way can she open her eyes and completely recognize the one in Dongchang. ”
p Let me catch up on my sleep and then check in for you. Goodbye my panda, goodbye my Xiaoqiu~ (The second half of the sentence has seen the crayon Xiaoxin knows ⊙_⊙)
