Gu Yunxi slowly opened her heavy eyes, and a veil embroidered with cherry blossoms filled her entire field of vision.

The fragile consciousness regained a hint of consciousness, and she recognized that she was lying flat on a large shelf bed.

The strange sensation spread throughout the face, as if something was tightly covering it, heavy and burning, and the pain was unbearable.

Dizzy, his sore eyes turned, and Gu Yunxi wanted to see the surrounding environment.

Just tilted his head slightly, and the abnormal pain on his face immediately magnified and invisible.

The pain to the bones is indescribable, like countless sharp blades, wantonly cutting at every inch of delicate skin on the face.

With Gu Yunxi's slight movement of her body, the indescribable pain spread from head to toe, instantly eroding and occupying all the nerves around her body.

There was a low whine in her throat, she couldn't help but hold her breath, her whole body twitched violently, and her fingers trembled.

At this time, she no longer had the strength to raise her hand to touch her cheek, which was aggravated.

"It hurts...... Overseer ......"

Gu Yunxi didn't know that he was having a fever, and in the midst of a nightmare, his chapped lips moved weakly, and he muttered in a low voice:

"Overseer...... It hurts, I hurt...... Water, want to drink water......"

Bloodstained tears uncontrollably snatched out of the eye sockets.

In the fog, Gu Yunxi saw a figure landing on the head of the bed, and his head was tightly blocked by the hood of the ink-colored cloak, and he couldn't see his face clearly.

Sweet water is like nectar in time, diligently poured into the bitter mouth, like a number of long-dried deserts, and finally got the irrigation of the drizzle.

Gu Yunxi tried his best to suck the copper spoon that was touched to his lips again and again, glowing with a metallic cold texture, and devoured the elixir and jade dew inside, greedy and hungry.

The pain faded away, her head sank, and she fell asleep with her eyes closed again......

"Overseer...... I hurt."

In his ears, a poignant murmur woke up Leng Qingtang who was sleeping.

His body shook suddenly, he suddenly woke up, and "Huo" stood up.

"Girl"

The eyelashes are high, and there is endless anxiety and fear in the deep black eyes.

Looking around in a daze, his stunned eyes came into contact with the equally surprised gazes at the table, and he remembered that they were resting in the last official post outside the city at this moment.

Just now, Leng Qingtang seemed to hear Yunxi's voice, and the sorrowful and shallow moaning made his messy heart suddenly even more panicked, as if he had lost a corner in an instant, and it was difficult to be stable like sitting on pins and needles.

Is that a dream? Or is it an illusion?

Beside him, Xiao Xiaoshen saw that the overseer's face was not good, so he got up and asked respectfully:

"Overseer, what's wrong with you?"

A moment ago, in accordance with the instructions of the Governor, the five teams of Dongchang stopped at the Taichang Post Station outside Beijing for a temporary rest, and then hurried at dawn.

After the team dispersed and stationed outside the post station, Leng Qingtang led the five blockers and Xiao Xiaoshen into the post station, sat on the first floor and ordered some wine and food, and had the right to dinner.

The body may have only healed for a long time and experienced a long distance and a big battle, and Leng Qingtang couldn't bear to be tired as soon as he sat down at the table.

While waiting for the food, he propped one elbow on the table, put his hand on his forehead and closed his eyes to recuperate, and unconsciously took a nap.

A call woke him up.

Cold fingers wiped away a cold sweat, Leng Qingtang looked around with a hastily expression, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"What time has it been?"

He asked suddenly.

"Back to the Governor, just after the third watch."

Xiao Xiaoshen replied with his eyebrows furrowed, his eyes locked on the handsome face of the overseer.

Leng Qingtang sank his gaze, a pair of inky black eyes reflected the swaying halo of candle flames, the stars were full of light, and the lights were shining.

Speaking solemnly, he ordered:

"Tell me to go down, and the five gatherings will immediately go back to Beijing."

The leaders looked at each other, but no one objected, and they all turned around and walked out of the post station, and gathered the whole team to go......

Beijing, West Factory

Lu Qian's song played

The small leather whip in his hand, and his two fingers fell Minglan's dantian acupoint.

Minglan's expression suddenly relaxed, and his mouth, which had been swaggering for a long time, suddenly closed, as if he had just experienced a desperate battle and became tired.

Lu Qiange reflexively sat at the head of the bed, holding a cold dagger, clinging to Minglan's half-pointed thin cheeks, rubbing back and forth slowly.

Minglan was immediately frightened and didn't dare to take an extra breath, his eyes were stunned and followed the dagger past every inch of his facial features, and he couldn't stop wandering for a moment, and his frightened heart was already hanging high in his throat.

Seeing that the blade of the dagger was bright and dazzling, held in the hand of the beautiful man of unknown origin in front of him, he guessed with fear in his heart:

God knows if he will deliberately make it bad, slip and slip, and scratch his proud face?

"You, whoever you are...... Take the white altar first...... Give, give to the Governor to put down. ”

Minglan was so frightened that his voice trembled, and his fingertips trembled slightly, but his heart was still on the sweet white porcelain altar on Lu Qiange's right hand.

Minglan could only speak at this time, and his body was still unable to move freely, obviously, he was only partially unraveled by the other party.

Seeing Minglan's cowardice in his eyes, Lu Qiange smiled, and naturally knew the reason why Minglan cared about the small jar in his hand.

The eunuchs who entered the palace as a servant in Dayi will not be thrown away at will after his cleansing.

According to the traditional method, it is dried with lime powder, then soaked in sesame oil, and finally packed into a clean porcelain jar and sealed.

Choose the auspicious day of the zodiac, and place the porcelain altar on the main beam of the home, which is the way to keep it properly.

After a hundred years of eunuchs, the family members will take out the objects in the altar and sew them together with the body of the eunuch, so that when the deceased enters the underworld, he will have the face to see the ancestors and ancestors.

Minglan's baby jar was originally placed on the beam of the bedroom in the house, meaning "step by step".

Because the house is being repaired recently, the Minglan people went to the West Factory, and they were not at ease to leave the altar in the house, so they took it to the West Factory.

Unexpectedly, as soon as this baby came, the altar was targeted by Lu Qiange before it was hot.

"Father-in-law Ming, do you want a jar?"

The corners of Lu Qiange's mouth rose, and when he asked with a light smile, the dagger was picked up sharply, and a straight silver light broke in front of Minglan's eyes.

Minglan's pupils suddenly locked, and before he could open his mouth to shout, he felt a cold chill spread across his chest, and the pores of the cold man were cold.

Looking down tremblingly, he saw that the placket of the garment with hydrangeas had been cut by a sharp dagger.

However, the opponent's strength was just right, and the blade only broke his clothes, and he didn't hurt half an inch of skin and flesh at all.

"Self, Nature...... Hero, whatever you want, Ben Du satisfies you, don't touch my altar. ”

Minglan had a trace of cold sweat under the corner of his forehead and sideburns, and he whispered quietly, not daring to let his sharp voice go too far.

Most of the stunned eyes were whites, and the black pupils shrunk to the size of a little lacquer were straight and hooked onto Lu Qiange's evil and flamboyant face, with full vigilance and fear.

In case the jar in the other party's hand is really broken, it means to curse him to cut off his children and grandchildren!

"Good! Then eat a few whips from the master first! ”

The dagger was replaced with a small leather whip, Lu Qiange picked his eyes and smiled evilly, raised the whip in the air, and spun out a full circle.

"Whoosh" hung up with a gust of wind, and the whip immediately fell on Minglan's bare chest.

"Oh"

Minglan lay on his side at the head of the bed, crying out hoarsely, his body trembled, his facial features were cramped and folded, and he actually rubbed a little enjoyment in pain.

"Humph! The gelding fruit is a pervert! ”

Seeing this, Lu Qiange was angry, and the little leather whip was whipped down one after another.

Under the corridor, the two horsemen heard the unusual shouts of the lord in the room with a sultry trill, so they looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

……

The capital, the Imperial Palace, the Dawn of the Night

When Zhao An returned to the palace under the cold moonlight, he heard Gu Yunyao crying in the bedroom.

Don't dare to delay any longer, he went all the way

Hurry to the master's side.

It was already past the time of placement in the palace, but Gu Yunyao did not remove her makeup, and she was wearing a long skirt with blue smoke and purple embroidered scales.

The palace maid Songqin accompanied her and comforted her carefully.

Two days ago, rumors about the assassination of the Admiral of Xichang spread in the palace.

The news reached Gu Yunyao's ears, and she quickly guessed that the woman who was kidnapped by a mysterious person at the assassination scene was probably her sister, Gu Yunxi!

Gu Yunyao hurriedly sent Zhao An out of the palace in person, got in touch with the secret guards of the East Factory, and finally asked the truth from their mouths.

It turned out that in order to retrieve the antidote for Lord Leng, Yunxi went to Minglan's mansion and never returned.

Gu Yunyao, who was anxious, waited in the palace for a long time, and finally ushered in the news that her sister's whereabouts were unknown.

Since then, she has been thoughtless, does not dress up, and washes her face with tears all day long.

Zhao Anxin is Yun Yao, in order to cheer her up as soon as possible, he left the palace every day to inquire about the latest news about Gu Yunxi's whereabouts.

Tonight, seeing Zhao An coming in from outside, Gu Yunyao stopped her grief for a moment, wiped the pear blossom face with the brocade in her hand, and hurriedly asked:

"How? Is there a whereabouts of the clouds? ”

Zhao An's face was depressed, and after a glance at Song Qin, he slowly shook his head and said:

"Master, the slave is really incompetent, and he has not been able to find the little master so far......"

Before he finished speaking, Gu Yunyao's watery apricot eyes rolled over, and the person leaned back on the couch.

"Master"

Her fainting frightened Zhao An and Song Qin, and the two supported her, a rubbing of her chest and back, and pinched her a few times before she woke her up again.

Taking a sip of tea, Gu Yunyao burst into tears again.

For a moment of respite, Gu Yunyao turned her head with teary eyes and instructed Song Qin:

"You have served me for a day, go down and rest, just leave it to Zhao An to serve here."

Song Qin knew that the two of them had something important to say, so he hurriedly got up and blessed his master, turned his head and went out.

When there were only Gu Yunyao and Zhao An in the bedroom, Gu Yunyao grabbed Zhao An, tears rolled in her thin eyes, and she was unwilling and angry:

"I knew that Yunxi would be harmed by Leng Qingtang sooner or later, she didn't have a fever at all!

If it weren't for the accident of the Admiral of Xichang, we would have been kept in the dark by Leng Qingtang and credulously believed his nonsense! ”

Seeing Gu Yunyao crying with a gloomy face and a dull face, Zhao An only felt that his heart was broken.

He sat at the head of the bed, gently shook Gu Yunyao's wet hand, and explained softly:

"Master, don't be sad. The little master Jiren has his own natural appearance, and he will definitely be fine. Tomorrow I will find a way to go out of the palace again and continue to investigate. ”

Gu Yunyao shook her head, looking dejected:

"I blame me for this, I shouldn't have watched her go to Dongchang in the first place.

After entering the palace, I did not hesitate to fight with those women for favor, just to gain a firm foothold in the harem one day and pull Yunxi out of the fire pit.

Now that I don't have her, what's the point of me staying in this palace? ”

"Master, if you want to open everything, the little master will be fine."

Gu Yunyao's expression suddenly tightened, her eyes were cold, and she said to Zhao An solemnly:

"Tomorrow you want to find a way to take me out of the palace, I'm going to see Leng Qingtang in Dongchang!"

Zhao Anxin was shocked, knowing that Gu Yunyao found Leng Qingtang, he would not give him any kind words.

"Master, Lord Leng is not in the capital now, so why don't you wait for someone to come back......"

"If he doesn't come back for a day, I'll wait in Dongchang for a day! If he can't find Yunxi, I, Gu Yunyao, will no longer let him be sent for the rest of my life, and I won't do anything more for him to get power in the court! ”

"Master......"

Zhao An fell to his knees in a panic:

"Master think twice, at the moment, you and Lord Leng Du are already close to each other, and we don't have the ability to fight with him yet!"

Gu Yunyao's eyebrows grew cold, her eyes moved forward, and she was aggressive:

"It's a big deal, this palace and him...... The fish is dead and the net is broken! 2k reading network
