Yuzhu Gongyuan, the front yard -

The people in the courtyard, all of them wearing purple sweatshirts, dark flat hats, and embroidered spring knives around their waists, are all guards in the East Factory. There was a lot of trouble here, and the courtyard was far away, so Gu Yunxi and the others didn't hear the movement of the team entering the courtyard.

Leng Qingtang was dressed in a unicorn pattern python robe with blue flowers and silver threads, and sat on the openwork red sandalwood Taishi chair in the center of the high platform of the main room. Behind him, standing were Xing Qianhu, the head of the East Factory, Cheng Wanli, and Gu's mother in the Gongyuan.

Leng Qingtang lowered his eyes and took a sip of tea, his face was calm, and he said without looking back:

"I said Gu's mother, there are people running away in your yard, and you actually worked the manpower of a whole team of Dongchang to find it, and the girl you trained with you is really good."

The voice was very soft, but the tone was unusually cold, which made the listener instantly feel like he was frozen, and he was terrified.

"Oops...... Oh, my lord, the old body knows that it is wrong, and the old body is really ...... Careless......"

Behind him, Gu's mother's body was already shaking, and she wiped her sweat with the handkerchief in her hand, and she was really frightened by his careless questioning.

Immediately, she changed into a smile again, and took the first two steps to flatter in a low voice:

"Who in this courtyard doesn't rely on your ability? The old body has been carefully inspected, but the girl's body is still innocent and complete, and the old body will definitely discipline her well, and see if she will not beat her to death for a while, so that she will have a long memory! ”

Leng Qingtang smiled lightly, and handed out the teacup in his hand unhurriedly, and an attendant immediately caught it.

"Okay, you're a little older, why are you still fighting? The girl's house is no better than the boy's, it's really broken, can you afford it? ”

"Yes! Be! The older you get, the more confused you get......"

……

"Sister! Sister Yun Yao—"

Gu Yunxi shouted all the way, carrying the big swing of the floral pleated water skirt all the way and ran from the inner courtyard to the front yard in one go.

The wall of the guards who separated the factory team squeezed into the encirclement, and she immediately saw Gu Yunyao, who was kneeling in the middle of the courtyard and was tied up with five flowers.

At this moment, the bun on Gu Yunyao's head has long been shapeless, leaving only a head of messy hair like artemisia grass hanging down at the shoulders at will, the dust on his face, and his appearance has been reduced much compared to before, which shows that he has suffered a lot all the way outside.

"Yunxi? …… Tides! ”

Seeing Gu Yunxi, Gu Yunyao burst into tears, and her knees took two steps on the hard bluestone ground, approaching her.

There was a man lying straight next to Gu Yunyao, his face couldn't be seen clearly, and his hair was also messy. Just after being beaten with a cane and 30 sticks, at this moment the person has already opened his skin and flesh, and he has completely fainted.

The white midday sun shone on his blood-stained body, and the scarlet color became more and more dazzling.

Gu Yunxi only glanced at the eye-catching color, and his stomach suddenly turned sullen. She bit her lower lip and held back to keep it from throwing it out. The "boom" in his head was dull, like a heavy thunder that had exploded.

"Sister Yunxi, you're running too fast......"

Xiao Xiaoshen plunged into the human wall to find her, and saw her bloody face when he landed. Knowing that she would faint, he immediately blocked her eyes with his body to prevent her from seeing the bloody body on the ground.

Gu Yunxi's body fell to the ground with a limp.

"Yunxi!"

Gu Yunyao knew her sister's physique well and exclaimed at her. saw her take advantage of the situation to turn around, and supported her to climb a few steps towards the location where Leng Qingtang was located.

"Overseer, Mother Gu, please spare my sister this time!"

“…… Clouds and tides? ”

Facing the first moment he saw Gu Yunxi, Leng Qingtang's indifferent face showed a slight surprise, he couldn't imagine that the girl in front of him was so weak.

The last time I heard that she was ill, she was not allowed to visit her, so she was summoned into the palace by the imperial concubine. But he clearly remembered that when he saw her more than half a year ago, her description was never as deranged as it is now.

Gu's mother moved two steps, her keen eyes had already noticed the surprise in Leng Qingtang's eyes, and explained with a dry smile:

"This girl...... If you're sick all the time, you can't get better......"

"Yunxi, this place is not where you should come, go back to the house, I'll talk to you later."

Treating Gu Yunxi, Leng Qingtang's tone of voice was always a little warm.

"Overseer, Master! You spare my sister this time, please! Yunxi promises that there will be no next time for her sister! ”

Gu Yunxi didn't leave, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, tears raining down:

"Please! For my sister's sake, who has lived with us in this courtyard for all these years, spare her this time! Please—"

More than a dozen heads slammed on the ground, the sound was as clear as a drum, and Yunxi raised his head again, rubbing a large blood mark on his forehead.

"Cloud and Tide ......"

Leng Qingtang's eyes widened slightly, and his right hand gripped the armrest of the Taishi chair fiercely, as if he didn't expect her to be like this. For a while, the cold breath in his eyes eased.

Xiao Xiaoshen is the best at observing words and doing things, and without waiting for the orders of his own overseer, he came up directly to pull her:

"Sister Yunxi, let's go! Let's go—"

Gu Yunxi struggled twice, enduring the discomfort, and his expression was still stubborn.

The scene in front of me was spinning like a fly, and everyone's figures became more and more blurred. Gu Yunxi's body was like a dead leaf blown by the wind, crumbling.

Leng Qingtang's position was directly opposite Gu Yunxi, he had already noticed her abnormality, and slowly got up from the Taishi chair, his eyes locked on the girl below.

She suddenly opened her mouth with a "wow", and a mouthful of blood spurted on the ground.

There was a commotion in the crowd.

"Oops! This is sick again, come and hold her! ”

Gu's mother ran down the steps, calling for people to come over and help with her hands open. In the past, she also fainted at every turn, but the vomiting of blood was really the first time she had never expected.

At this time, Leng Qingtang had already flown out, and a few people walked in front of Gu Yunxi, stretching out their arms to hold her in their arms.

She was as light as a fallen leaf, and her waist was not even tightened.

"Girl! Girl—"

Leng Qingtang called in a low voice, and with Gu Yunxi's slumping body falling to the ground, he landed on one knee and straightened her face to look over.

Gu Yunxi completely fainted, her face was like white paper, and wisps of red color seeped out from the corners of her mouth, ears and eyes.

This episode really made Leng Qingtang's heart tremble, even if he had been in and out of Dongchang Zhao Prison for many years and had seen too many faces after being ravaged by Yan Xing, he didn't seem to have such a shocking and terrifying feeling as now.

Xiao Xiaoshen was also frightened, and knelt beside the overseer with weak legs.

"Overseer, it's useless to be a subordinate! Damn it—"

Leng Qingtang glanced at Xiao Xiaoshen with a dark face, and then immediately picked up Gu Yunxi's cuffs and put Su Bai's two fingers on her veins.

I have a number in my heart......

He propped her up again, and quickly tapped his two fingers on the two points of the wind gate and the two points on her back.

Looking at Gu Yunxi's face again, Leng Qingtang's expression relaxed. Embraced her and got up, he left the people in the courtyard and walked quickly into the inner courtyard.

In the bedroom, Gu Yunjin was leaning on the table of the Eight Immortals eating snacks, she had always been obedient, and she would definitely not run to the front yard to mix with Gu Yunyao's.

The door was kicked open coldly, Gu Yunjin was so frightened that she trembled, and the sticky rice osmanthus dumplings that had just been swallowed were stuck in her throat, making her dance for a while.

"Get out!"

Leng Qingtang stared at Gu Yunjin viciously, and ordered in a cold tone.

“……”

Gu Yunjin hurriedly poured two mouthfuls of water and ran out with a red face.

Leng Qingtang put Gu Yunxi flat on the bed and instructed Xiao Xiaoshen, who came along:

"Close the door!"

Xiao Xiaoshen did as ordered, and then stood upright in front of the door, quietly watching Leng Qingtang take off his soap boots and get to bed.

Gu Yunxi was groggy at the moment, not knowing where he was. It was like a boulder pressed in her chest, so that she couldn't breathe, let alone open her mouth.

In a trance, he was gently helped up, sat upright with his legs crossed, and then put a pair of soft and warm palms on his back.

There was a strange breath that drilled from the skin on the back to the body, like a warm air flow enveloping the whole body, and it was a refreshing feeling that no words could describe. The stiff body seemed to be melted by the continuous flow of air, and gradually regained its suppleness.

After a pillar of incense, Leng Qingtang collected his internal strength, dipped his forehead in the sleeve of his robe, and turned around to get out of bed. Xiao Xiaoshen was very eye-catching, and hurriedly came over to kick the official boots for the overseer.

"Overseer, Sister Yunxi is okay, right?"

"It's not a big deal. She had the old symptoms of fainting blood, and when she bumped into Zhao An, who was being tortured, she was naturally overemotional, causing the blood flow in her body to go retrograde. You too, why did you tell her to run out? ”

"The subordinates are willing to accept the punishment." Xiao Xiaoshen lowered his head and said sullenly.

"That's it, you go to the front yard now, and tell the mother-in-law to cook a bowl of brown sugar sweet jujube water for the girl, make sure it is hotter."

"Huh?"

"Why don't you go-"

"Yes! The subordinates thanked the Lord for his grace of not punishing. ”

Xiao Xiaoshen stood up, smiled innocently, and ran out.

Leng Qingtang is one of the best martial arts masters in the Dayi Imperial Court, elegant by nature, all-round in civil and military affairs, and has also studied medical science.

Only then did he see Gu Yunxi's seven orifices bleeding, and only then did he know that she was about to menstruate, and he was bleeding again, which aggravated the symptoms and the blood flow in her body was retrograde.

Fortunately, he made a timely move, sealed her two key acupoints, and infused his true qi into her body, so that the retrograde blood flow was channeled back to the right track.

While Gu Yunxi was not fully awake, Leng Qingtang turned his back on his arms and walked around the boudoir of the three sisters.

The house is inside and out.

The rooms are spacious and well-lit. On the back, there is a sandalwood embroidery bed, on which is hung a pink and tender gold silk hydrangea flower curtain, and the 12 zodiac tassel sachets are hung on the gold hooks tied with Yingluo silk, and the fragrance of jasmine is faintly scattered inside. The bed is adorned with delicate pearl-trimmed floral pillows and a new rose brocade with a gold hibiscus futon.

To the west of the embroidery bed, a shiny golden basin is placed on the Xiangyun jujube wood basin frame from the purple fairy. To the south is the dressing table where the magpie kicks the plum. The furnishings next to it are a set of jujube wood eight immortal Ruyi tables and chairs and a set of golden silk nan carved wardrobes.

Leng Qingtang glanced at the three-fold luodian Qibao screen-style dressing mirror on the dressing table, needless to say, he could know that the owner of this house must be Gu Yunjin!

Leng Qingtang was silent and walked back to the outhouse.

The furnishings here are obviously not as luxurious as those in the interior. There is also an embroidery bed, two dressing tables and two sets of wardrobes at the north and south ends of the room. Regardless of the wood, judging from the simple carved bamboo patterns, there is no style of the inner house.

Looking at the head of Gu Yunxi's bed again, there was a cyan robe on the head of the rattan bed, with a hundred butterfly patterns woven with silk threads of the same color. Although the material of this coat is brocade, the color is very dull after repeated washing. There is a different kind of trim on the placket that attracts Leng Qingtang's attention, and if you look closely, where is the trim, it is clearly a patch on a piece of floral cloth.

Leng Qingtang felt a sullen mood in his heart.

As the chief chamberlain of the palace, how could he not know that this tribute court is the same as the palace inside, people are accustomed to praising the high and stepping on the low, bullying the weak and afraid of the hard.

Thinking about Gu Yunxi's weak body and gentle temperament, Gu's mother concluded that she could not enter the palace and could not bring benefits to the people in this courtyard, so she deliberately treated her harshly in terms of food and clothing. And the people under her also followed her, and they were snub and disrespectful to Gu Yunxi.
