Chapter 34: Wound recurrence
Spring in April, the end of the month.
A few spring rains are continuous, the grass grows and the warbler flies, the flowers and trees are fragrant, it is a good time to enjoy the flowers in spring.
At dusk, the lanterns at the gate were lit up one after another, and they were blown from side to side by the gentle evening breeze.
Looking at the streets and alleys from afar, the lights are flickering in the dusk of the night, winding back, like a glowing and dormant dragon.
Gu Yunxi received the news and rushed to Baoyue Restaurant as promised, and met Gu Yunyao, Zhao An, and Song Qin in the private room.
These three people are all dressed as ordinary chamberlains.
"Yunxi!"
"Sister!"
The sisters met again and held each other's hands.
Gu Yunxi's dark eyes lit up, he looked Gu Yunyao's outfit up and down, a little happy look rubbed a trace of worry, and frowned:
"It's too risky to do this, my sister shouldn't have come out at this hour!"
Gu Yunyao's eyes, reflecting the candle flame, the luster was different:
"Our sisters miss each other, last time you entered the palace to see me, this time I came out of the palace to see you. Next to this restaurant is the gambling house, I heard Zhao An say that every time the palace changes its value at night, there are internal servants who buy the palace gate guards and secretly let them out of the palace to gamble. Zhao An used this as an excuse to take me out in disguise to visit you. ”
"But it's late, what if the emperor looks for you? Now that our sisters have seen me, you can see that I am doing well, so I am relieved! At this moment, you better go back to the palace quickly. ”
Gu Yunxi thought about it, but he was always frightened, so he picked up Gu Yunyao and dragged him outside the private room.
"Hey!"
Gu Yunyao stopped halfway, and her soft palm fell on the back of her sister's hand, patting it softly, and comforting:
"Don't worry, the emperor has already made arrangements, I will visit the little prince in Chuxiu Palace tonight, and I will never go to Xiaoye again."
Yibi said, and Yibi led Gu Yunxi back to the table and sat down. Songqin gave the hot tea to Gu Yunxi.
The sisters sat down, Gu Yunyao raised her glass and took a sip of tea, and her quiet eyes fell on Gu Yunxi on the side of the table, looking at it seriously.
Gu Yunxi noticed that her sister's expression was strange, and immediately her eyebrows fluttered, and she put on a joyful look, grinning:
"It's all because the letter came suddenly, and I didn't have time to prepare. If you have enough time, I will make a few dim sum for my sister, I think you haven't tasted my craft for a long time! ”
A moment of silence
Gu Yunyao looked at her sister firmly, the shallow light under her eyes was soft, and gradually turned into sparkling water waves, covering a thin layer in front of her eyes.
No matter how Gu Yunxi suppressed and disguised her emotions, her complexion could not deceive people.
It's only been a month, and the high-spirited and heroic little Fanwei who was in the Kan Fang Pavilion of the palace has long since disappeared.
At this moment, she is so depressed and lonely, her complexion is yellow, and her eyes are dark and dull.
Gu Yunyao's eyes were red, and she said in a slow voice:
"I always think that you and I must have been a pair of sisters with a good relationship in our last life. When I was reincarnated, I drank Meng Po soup, and then I was separated on the path of reincarnation, and I didn't be a sister again in this life.
However, the affection between you and me is closer than that of sisters. If you have something to do now, how can I stand by and stay in the palace with peace of mind? ”
Gu Yunxi lowered his eyes in an instant, the long eyelashes of the crow feathers fluttered down, and the wings of his nose fluttered a few times, and a few tears immediately rolled into the steaming teacup.
Zhao An stood behind Gu Yunyao with his hands down, and when he saw it, his expression sank one by one, and he sighed secretly.
Regarding the fact that the Admiral of Dongchang and the people of Kunning Palace were fighting against each other, it had already been rumored in the palace.
Today, Gu Yunyao took the risk of disguised out of the palace for this matter. She knew that her sister Yunxi's heart must be tormented at this moment, and she urgently needed someone to be by her side.
Gu Yunyao looked at Yunxi, held the teacup in her hand, and said softly:
"I said at the beginning that Father-in-law Leng is too scheming and cannot be entrusted to a lifelong person. Now, you should always take my word for it, right? ”
Gu Yunxi's eyes were slightly sluggish, and he smiled astringently:
"He has his difficulties, in order to relieve the siege of the East Factory, I understand......"
Seeing that my sister is still
is obsessed and unrepentant, Gu Yunyao couldn't help but sigh in annoyance, and said in a deep voice:
"Zuo is not in his heart, you are far less important than his Dongchang!"
Gu Yunxi heard a sharp shock in his heart. My sister's words are really to the point!
Gu Yunxi felt that her body was being bullied by countless swords at this moment, and only she knew what the pain of a thousand swords felt like.
……
After a cup of tea, Gu Yunxi told Gu Yunyao about what happened in the cold mansion after the spring banquet.
Gu Yunyao listened carefully and was amazed. After Gu Yunxi finished speaking, Gu Yunyao was silent, concentrating on contemplation.
Suddenly, she asked:
"The woman named Yan Wan, have you checked her details?"
Gu Yunxi's eyes were slightly pale, and he replied firmly:
"I heard the overseer say that he sent an informant to carefully check before, and it was indeed clean, and he had been in the palace for less than a year. If you want to hire people in Queen Qian's palace, you will also strictly control the selection process. Sister, do you feel that something is wrong? ”
Gu Yunyao frowned, her complexion was dark:
"I have a feeling that this woman is not a good person. When she came out of the Queen's Palace, why did she come to your room and be so heartfelt with you? Even the queen thinks that she is a chess game, and other things have to be put on the table, don't you think it's inappropriate? ”
Gu Yunxi lowered his eyes with a cautious expression:
"I can't fault anything. Originally, when she first entered the palace, everyone knew that she was an eyeliner sent by the palace. I thought it was the second time she came back, and she also knew that her identity was not a secret, so she simply tried to protect herself, so she did a little low in front of me. After all, I have been following the Overseer for a long time, and I know his habits best. ”
Gu Yunyao waved his hand and instructed:
"You need to be careful. The women in the palace live all day long in your fight for me, and they are used to seeing me deceive, which one is not born with a delicate heart? Yunxi, be sure to keep an eye on yourself! ”
"Well, sister rest assured."
Gu Yunxi nodded slightly, his eyes farther away.
Zhao An saw that the hour was not early, and reminded on the side:
"Master, it's time to go back."
The two sisters got up one after another, holding their fingers together. Parting is imminent, and it is reluctant.
Gu Yunyao cried again, and then her expression turned into a state of anger.
The eyes narrowed, and the light suddenly became as sharp as a blade, quenching the hatred of Sensen. She said in a dark voice:
"I won't let Leng Qingtang go! At the beginning, he forced me to enter the palace, ruined me, and harmed Zhao An. Now that he has lost you again, I will definitely not have a good time with him when I meet in the palace in the future."
"Sister!"
Gu Yunxi looked panicked, grabbed her arm, and prayed with a sad expression:
"You can't blame him for this! He lost the position of the master of ceremonies, and if he lost the East Factory again, he would really have nothing! Don't deal with him, I never blame him! ”
"Silly Sister ......"
Gu Yunyao's clear eyes shone with water, and her slightly trembling jade hand was raised, caressing Yunxi's blood-soaked cheeks, and her voice was affectionate:
"Even if he loses the position of palm print and Dongchang, he still has you. And you...... In your heart, losing him is losing everything, isn't it? ”
"Sister......
Gu Yunxi had nothing to say, tears swept his eyes wantonly, and he plunged into Yun Yao's arms, crying bitterly.
Gu Yunyao hugged her quietly and said lightly:
"I hate him! It's just because he couldn't love him, but he wants to leave you hope. ”
Gu Yunxi returned to Lengfu and ran into the little eunuch Kang Hai head-on.
"Why did you come back?"
He was in a hurry, and he looked anxious about something.
"What's wrong? But what's the matter with the Overseer? ”
Gu Yunxi couldn't help but feel nervous.
"Oh, isn't it? I'll tell you......"
Kang Hai suddenly paused, saw that there was no one around, then approached, and whispered to Gu Yunxi:
"The scab of the master only fell off a few days ago, and I thought it was so neat. After noon today, the master said that something was wrong with him, so let me send Imperial Doctor Jiang. When I checked the wound, there was a rash and pus in the place where it had just grown. The one in the palace said, "Yes."
After drinking the lamb bone and pork liver soup you made, send me around to look for you. No, I've been tossing back and forth four or five times! ”
"How so?"
After Kang Hai complained aggrievedly, Gu Yunxi picked him up and went straight to the governor's room.
Imperial Doctor Jiang, Cheng Wanli, Xiao Xiaoshen, Qing'er and Yanwan were all there, plus the two little eunuchs who were waiting, and they stood in a room full of people.
Seeing Gu Yunxi come in with Kang Hai pushing the door, Yanwan's lips twitched, and she wiped her tears with a handkerchief.
Qing'er walked up to Gu Yunxi, looking resentful, and lowered her head to hug one of her arms.
Gu Yunxi looked around the room blankly, Jing Yan was crying at night, and she was a little nervous at the moment.
Leng Qingtang leaned sideways on the bed, propped up on the high cushion with one arm. Seeing this, his face sank, and he said in a low voice:
"What to cry about! Ben Governor is not dead."
Yan Wan stopped abruptly, her body trembled twice, and she silently hooked her fingers and stirred the handkerchief in her hand.
"Overseer......"
Gu Yunxi walked to the head of the bed in a daze, and his skinny face with an improper complexion immediately rushed into her eyes. She was so shocked that she didn't know what to say for a moment.
Imperial Physician Jiang was on the side, and asked with a smile:
"Yun Guan'er, what kind of ingredients are put into the lamb bone and pork liver soup you prepared for the governor for lunch, and how to cook it, tell me about it."
Gu Yunxi bowed his head and replied truthfully:
"A pound of mutton bones, blanched in hot water, and stewed in boiling water and fire. Slice the pork liver in two pairs, blanch the blood and marinate in ginger juice for a moment, put in the mutton bone soup, and stew the horseshoe, grass root and perilla leaves. When you are young, serve soup, salt, sesame oil, and chopped green onions. ”
As soon as Gu Yunxi finished speaking, Yan Wan exclaimed in surprise, and a pair of beautiful eyes widened:
"Yun Gongzi, you have been taking care of the overseer's diet for a long time, and you should know that in the warm spring season, food supplements are the most taboo. The Overseer's wound is healed now, and you are a lamb bone and ginger juice, how can you not bring out the old troubles? ”
"I ......"
Gu Yunxi was just about to speak, when Imperial Doctor Jiang suddenly raised his voice and said:
"There is nothing wrong with this dietary remedy. Sheep bones and pig liver are warmed into the spleen meridian, which is the most important way to nourish blood and qi and strengthen muscles and bones. Although everything is fluffy in the warm spring season, Yun Guan'er supplemented the soup with perilla leaves, grass roots and horseshoe to cool and defeat fire, which can play the effect of counteracting the warm and cold. It stands to reason that it will not cause the Overseer's old wounds to flare up. ”
Yan Wan bit her lower lip unwillingly, and said again:
"So, what's the reason? I just went to the palace to serve the overseer when something went wrong, if someone from the palace asked, how do you want me to excuse me? ”
As he spoke, his sharp eyes looked straight at Gu Yunxi.
Gu Yunxi's complexion changed suddenly, the meaning of nervousness and shame was obvious, and his heart fluctuated.
Leng Qingtang's face straightened, and he said sharply:
"If you don't say it, it won't reach the palace, and you don't need to excuse yourself"
Yan Wanjiao's face condensed into an innocent face, and suddenly knelt on the ground.
"Get out ......"
Leng Qingtang glanced at her in annoyance, lowered his eyes and said to everyone:
"All go out, Yun Guan'er stays!"
Everyone left the house one after another.
Gu Yunxi stood still for a moment and asked in a panic:
"Does your wound hurt?"
“……”
He raised his eyes suddenly, staring at her little yellow and thin face.
"Where have you been? Lately, you seem to be enjoying running out. ”
He suddenly asked without a word.
Gu Yunxi's lips moved, but he didn't answer.
She didn't want to tell him about Yu Zhaoyi's venture out of the palace to meet her at this time. In my sister's mouth, I couldn't say a good word about him.
After waiting for a while, Leng Qingtang leaned over, took out something from under the pillow, held it in his hand and stretched it out to her.
It's the red rope she's missing.
Gu Yunxi's eyes immediately showed a clear glow full of surprise:
"Where did you find that?"
Leng Qingtang locked her facial features firmly, as if closely examining the rapidly changing expression, and asked again:
"Where have you been on the fifteenth?!" 2k reading web
