Chapter 188: Night Attack
Spring is late, and the trees are blooming. Cang Geng, picking Su Qiqi.
"Although the spring is delayed, it is still here after all," Gu Qingwan whispered with a smile, turned her head suddenly, looked at the person who came, and asked, "Big cousin, what wind blew you here?" ”
Walking lightly, his clothes fluttering between walks, Li Yuanzhan walked slowly, he was wearing a cyan robe today, the wide clothes lined him with extra thinness, he smiled, his handsome but slightly pale face looked upright and sincere: "I want to come to see you." ”
Gu Qingwan looked at him worriedly, "Cousin, you sit quickly, why do you look so pale?" How does it feel? ”
Li Yuanzhan sat opposite her, looking at her quietly, and when his eyes fell on her bun, he was slightly stunned.
The girl opposite is still beautiful and thrilling, beautiful and refined, but she is now combing the bride's bun, which means that she is married.
Li Yuanzhan only felt like a dream, and sighed that time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, the little girl with pigtails in his memory had grown into a stunning beauty, and even married a wife.
"Cousin." Gu Qingwan called softly.
This cousin woke up Li Yuanzhan, who was in deep thought, his eyes returned to their original clarity, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, under the treatment of Dr. Liu, my leg has been completely healed." No, I can come to you alone. ”
"Wanwan." The smile on his face slowly disappeared, it was a seriousness and worry that Gu Qingwan rarely saw, "You still don't want to go out recently, it's not safe outside." ”
"What's going on?" Gu Qingwan said curiously. What could make her cousin so worried?
"Today's Turkic envoys enter Beijing ......" Li Yuanzhan told Gu Qingwan what happened in the court today, what happened in the court was only known to the emperor and courtiers, and the Marquis of Zhenyuan and the king of Yujiang also deliberately blocked the news, so Gu Qingwan did not know about this matter.
"And such a thing?" Gu Qingwan remembered the Turkic prince Helian Jin she had saved before, if he hadn't poisoned him, she would have handed him over to Chen Yuan a long time ago, even if she was clever in the end, Chen Yuan's people still didn't catch him.
Helian Jin really can't be underestimated, the last time Gu Qingzhao was kidnapped, it was also Helian Jin's handiwork, and the Guo family must have also participated.
"Cousin, I heard from my grandmother that my cousin-in-law is pregnant, and I will definitely visit the Prime Minister's Mansion another day when I have time."
Li Yuanzhan has already become a relative, married a concubine on the Sipin Beijing official mansion, this marriage was set when Li Yuanzhan's leg has not recovered, it was the Lin girl's willingness, the Lin girl did not dislike Li Yuanzhan could not walk, and was willing to marry, very much the blue eyes of the old lady Li and the eldest lady Fang, and they were very fond of this daughter-in-law, and the people in the house also respected the young lady Lin.
Now that the Lin family has been pregnant for more than a month, Mrs. Li is very happy.
Last night, Chen Yuan was ordered to go on the expedition, and her grandmother came to comfort her early in the morning and brought her the good news.
Gu Qingwan is really happy for Li Yuanzhan, now that his leg is healed, and his wife is pregnant, it is a double happiness.
Moreover, Li Yuanzhan plans to participate in next year's imperial examination, and with Li Yuanzhan's talent, being admitted to the top prize is like finding something.
Gu Qingwan still blamed herself in her heart, if Li Yuanzhan's leg was fine, with his talent, he should have participated in the imperial examination and entered the official career, and with the help of Prime Minister Li Cheng, the future must be limitless.
"Cousin, now that everything is fine, the mistakes I made at the beginning have been made up, and I finally feel less guilty in my heart." Gu Qingwan looked at him, her clear eyes were filled with tears, she blinked, lowered her head and reached out to quickly brush away the tears, bent the corners of her mouth, and had a light smile on her face.
Li Yuanzhan reached out and touched the top of her head, just like when he was a child, he was the brother who loved her the most, whenever she was sad and sad, he would always stroke her soft hair and comfort her.
Gu Qingwan was slightly stunned, how long has it been? She had forgotten the last time he had touched her hair so affectionately. It seemed like a long time had passed, so long that she couldn't remember it anymore.
"Wanwan, I often think sometimes that it would be nice if there was no accident at that time, then I still love your brother Yuan Zhan the most. I am the eldest son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, a young genius, and you are the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, and you are noble. Whether it is appearance or family background, we should be the most compatible. ”
"Cousin." Gu Qingwan looked at him with some shock, as if she didn't expect him to suddenly show her his heart.
"But it's too late, but I've always been unwilling, if there is no these, the person who will accompany you will be me, grow up with you, and it should be me who guards you, will the person you fall in love with also me?" He said what he had hidden in his heart for a long time, if, if there was no accident, he should have been with her all the time, he should have been her childhood sweetheart, and the person she married should have been him.
"But there's no if, isn't it?" Gu Qingwan's face was no longer smiling, it was indifferent and detached, "Cousin, you should also let go." From now on, we are just cousins, and the person your cousin loves should be your wife. ”
"Yes, there is no if......" Gu Qingwan's words were like a basin of cold water, which made him sober up suddenly, knowing that they were no longer possible, he should have kept those words in his heart, and he shouldn't have said it to increase her burden.
At bedtime, she lay on the bed, her thoughts were rushing. So much had happened lately that she couldn't sleep at all. She didn't expect that the legendary murderous, bloodthirsty and violent Turkic prince would like her, and even sent an envoy to Shengjing to find her. She regretted a little, she shouldn't have taken a shortcut back in the first place, so she wouldn't have met Helian Jin, and she wouldn't have caused such a big trouble. and her cousin's words today made her feel a little guilty. Chen Yuan is now far away at the border pass, he is facing the fierce Turks, and he doesn't know what happened to the front line?
When her mind was confused, a faint dark fragrance came, smelled into her nose, felt her body fluttering, her thoughts gradually sank, and she sighed so comfortably......
......
In the hazy dream, it seems that someone is hovering by her bedside, who is it?
No, it's not a dream, Gu Qingwan opened her eyes suddenly, sat up, a black shadow flashed in front of her, frightened, Gu Qingwan let out a low breath, and before she could fully react, the black shadow rushed out of the door, seeing him flashing, Gu Qingwan just breathed a sigh of relief, and heard a fight outside the door, knowing that it was the man in black who met the guard, Gu Qingwan got out of bed, stepped to the door, looked out, a cold wind hit her face, and found herself drenched in a cold sweat.
raised his eyes and looked into the courtyard, only to find that the man in black and the two people were entangled together, those two people turned out to be Zizhu and Ziping, although the man in black was strong in martial arts, the two maids were not bad at all, and their moves were ruthless, and they didn't drag the mud and water at all. The sound of the fight between the three spread, and after a while, the guards sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, surrounding the man in black, Gu Qingwan watched coldly, the more she looked at it, the more strange she felt, she didn't know martial arts, why did she think that the man in black's movements were familiar...... Seems to have seen it somewhere.
On a dark night, the three figures were fighting endlessly in the atrium of the Marquis Mansion, and a group of guards surrounded the three of them, Gu Qingwan watched the battle situation intently, Zizhu and Ziping cooperated tacitly and cooperated seamlessly...... Turning her eyes to the man in black, she was even more puzzled, judging from his actions, this mysterious man didn't want to hurt her, so what was his purpose?
Her thoughts were rolling, she stood at the door of the room obliviously, suddenly her body was warm, she had an extra coat, turned her face sideways, and looked at Ji Xu's slightly worried eyes, and a soft and warm voice came: "Come into the house, be careful of catching a cold." She looked at him in a daze, standing still.
"Why are you here?" Gu Qingwan asked with some curiosity. It was incomprehensible that Ji Xu was here late at night, and he was not half shocked when he looked at the scene in front of him, as if he had expected it a long time ago.
Gu Qingwan carefully observed the guards who were fighting with the men in black, and saw that they were not dressed like people who broke the Hou Mansion, could it be that these were Ji Xu's people, he had long expected that someone would break into the Hou Mansion at night, so he ambushed here early.
Ji Xu put on a coat for Gu Qingwan, helped her comb her slightly scattered hair, held her hand lightly, felt a little cold, and was secretly annoyed in her heart, suddenly took half a step forward, covering most of Gu Qingwan's sight, raised her hand lightly, and made a simple movement, the guards quickly spread out into a fan, raised the prepared bow and arrow, and aimed at the man in black in unison.
Gu Qingwan subconsciously broke away from Ji Xu's hand and said coldly: "Lord Wang, now that I am Mrs. Marquis, please pay attention to proportion. ”
Ji Xu withdrew his hand, his eyes were a little lonely, "You should have heard about what happened in the court today, Helian Jin is insidious and cunning, and if he can't ask for it, he will definitely not give up." I'm afraid that you will be worried, so I secretly laid a secret line around the Marquis Mansion. ”
Gu Qingwan nodded, "Thank you, Lord Wang." With that, she continued to look at the battle.
Seeing such a battle, Gu Qingwan also guessed that not long after, the man in black was only afraid of turning into a hedgehog, sighed secretly, turned around and wanted to go back to the room, just as she turned around, the man in black attracted her with an abrupt movement, the man in black was forcing Ziping to take two steps back, and suddenly reached out and took out an inch-long ornament in his arms, and a faint light silver light flashed, Gu Qingwan was stunned, this thing, she couldn't forget, it was a Turkic Gu poison......
The man in black picked up the piccolo and blew it on his lips, but no sound came out, Zizhu Ziping, the two maids and a guard were all surprised, and the memory returned, Gu Qingwan exclaimed: "It's not good." ”
