Chapter 160: It was Du Yi who calculated
Seeing these blocking the way, Gu Caiwei's face sank. "Didn't I already talk to Sima Huan about it? I won't see him again. ”
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the sound of cigarette butts swishing. Immediately after, another man wearing a mask and dressed in darkness walked out.
As soon as she saw this figure, Gu Caiwei blurted out, "Sima Huan." ”
"It's me." Sima Huan walked up to her, "Long time no see." ”
Gu Caiwei don't overdo it. "We're all this old, and we all have our own children and grandchildren, so it's not appropriate to play this set now, right?"
"You think too much, I'm here to find you this time for something important!" Sima Huan said busily.
Gu Caiwei heard that his tone was full of anxiety, and it didn't look like he was looking for trouble. She immediately frowned slightly: "What's the matter?" ”
"It's Ah Xuan, he's sick!" Sima Huan said.
Gu Caiwei suddenly had a rumbling in her head.
The eldest son born to Du Yi and Yan is nicknamed Ah Xuan. This name was set before the child was born, and Du Junqing gave it to him, saying that if it was a little Langjun, he would be called Ah Xuan, and the little lady would be called Ah Xuan. At the beginning, before the child was born, Du Junqing had already asked people to tie the little gold locks, one for men and one for women, and the names were engraved on them.
After Xiao Axuan was born, Du Junqing hugged the child, and then personally put the small golden lock engraved with the word Xuan on his neck.
Then, this little golden lock and this name became the only two things that Xiao Ah Xuan brought to the young master, and this was also the only request that Du Yi made to the young master.
After that, they all subconsciously forgot about the child. Unexpectedly, after such a long time, she heard the name again!
And...... Although she deliberately didn't think about it for several years, but now when Sima Huan mentioned the name, she immediately thought of the child, and didn't think about it anywhere else at all.
"What disease did he have? Didn't your physician show him? Gu Caiwei asked hurriedly.
"Yes, but it's useless. Why else would I come to you? Sima Huan said helplessly.
Gu Caiwei clenched her fists. "But we said at the beginning that we would never get along with each other in the future."
"I know. But now Ah Xuan is really sick, we have asked the doctor for medicine for a long time, but there is no effect. In the end, even the imperial doctor didn't come, and bluntly said that unless the high divine doctor came forward, the child was afraid that he would be hopeless. Otherwise, why should I come to you? Sima Huan's voice suddenly lowered, "And since Ah Xuan got sick, Ah Brother has been by his side, and now Ah Xuan is so sick that he doesn't know who to do, and Ah Brother is guarding him day and night, and he doesn't even do official business." However, from the beginning to the end, he did not ask to come to you, because I couldn't stand it anymore, so I came to you. And didn't I look for anyone else? Now you're going to come with me as a doctor, okay? ”
He's really in a hurry, and he's so anxious!
Gu Caiwei looked at the few people blocking her way, as well as the man in front of her who was holding a big knife, and she sighed. "If I said that the kid didn't matter to me whether he lived or died, and I wasn't going, would you agree?"
"No!" Sima Huan replied categorically, "Ah Xuan, he is the only descendant of my elder brother, and he is the lifeblood of my brother, so he is also my lifeline!" I can't let anything wrong with this kid! ”
Gu Caiwei smiled lightly after hearing this. "You've changed."
"No, I haven't changed. I still like you in my heart, but after all, you are still not as important as my brother and the family business accumulated by the ancestors of our Sima family for generations. If I had to choose one of you, I would surely choose my brother and abandon you. Sima Huan said fixedly.
"So, you've just changed." Gu Caiwei insisted on her own opinion.
Sima Huan's face changed slightly, but Gu Caiwei became happier the more she smiled: "This is good." You finally find out that you don't care about me the most, which means that you don't have that much obsession with me anymore. I can go with you. ”
After a pause, she added: "As a healer." ”
Sima Huan's eyes flashed slightly, and he immediately nodded. "Okay." He immediately turned around and showed her the way.
The two of them entered the dungeon together. But Gu Caiwei clearly found that the path they took this time was different from the last time.
"It's the path." Gu Caiwei said.
"Yes." Sima Huan nodded happily and admitted, "You don't want people to know that you came to the underground palace, do you?" Especially the Chen family and the people of the Yin family. ”
The Chen family is the family of Sima Huan's brother's mother, and the Yin family is the maiden family of the current young master's wife.
Gu Caiwei nodded helplessly. "Yes, it's good to take the trail."
Sima Huan nodded, and turned his head to show her the way.
However, seeing this situation, Gu Caiwei's heart shrank slightly, and she always felt that something was a little weird.
It's just that now that they have all boarded the thief ship and the people have arrived here, she can only continue to go down. By the way, it can be regarded as helping Du Yi and them come to see the child. Gu Caiwei said secretly in her heart.
The road was smooth, and they soon entered the underground palace through the back door, and then came to the young master's bedroom.
As Sima Huan said, now the young master is sitting on the edge of the bed, bowing his head to take care of the little person on the bed.
In a blink of an eye, it has been more than three years since this child was born. Three years ago, I just saw him in his infancy, and when I waited for a second look, it was already three years later.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, the young master immediately turned his head. When he saw Gu Caiwei who appeared in front of him, his eyes immediately turned cold. "Brother, what did you do?"
Now that it was getting late, and he was in the inner room, he was not wearing a mask, so a face that was six or seven points similar to Du Yi was presented in front of Gu Caiwei with a big grin.
Seeing this face, Gu Caiwei couldn't help but feel dizzy in front of her.
This person, he and Du Yi are becoming more and more similar!
No, no, it should be said that as Du Yi grows bigger and bigger, and now he holds an important position in the court, he is becoming more and more similar to the young master in terms of appearance and bearing! Fang Cai just glanced at it, and she almost recognized this person as Du Yi!
What's going on? Gu Caiwei's eyebrows twisted slightly.
After being taught a lesson by him, Sima Huan immediately stepped forward: "Brother, I will ask the little lady to come and see Ah Xuan." Sima Huan stepped forward and replied, "Anyway, I've already invited the person over, and she will definitely not be able to leave for a while." Whether you're happy or not, it's already a fact anyway. ”
What did he mean by that? Gu Caiwei noticed that something was a little strange.
When the young master heard this, he immediately stood up, and then sighed faintly. "That's it. Since you're here, let's show it to your children! ”
Sima Huan hurriedly pushed Gu Caiwei.
Gu Caiwei took a few steps forward and saw a small child lying on the bed. His eyebrows and eyes don't look much like Du Yi, but some of Du Yi's shadows can still be seen from the contours of his face and small mouth.
Now, the three-year-old child is lying motionless on the bed, his face is flushed, and his body is trembling slightly.
Gu Caiwei glanced over, and her face sank. After checking the child's pulse and touching her forehead, she immediately turned around: "Isn't this child just an ordinary fever?" Your imperial physician can't cure him? ”
"It's not that they can't be cured, it's that they don't want to be cured." The young master replied lightly.
Gu Caiwei looked at him in surprise, and the young master nodded at her. "You give him a fever first! I'll let you know the details in a moment. ”
Gu Caiwei really couldn't rest assured that this child who was burning all over his body. She nodded hurriedly, then took out two pills of different sizes from her purse and handed them over: "Spread this pill into a bowl of water with warm water, and send it to me." This pill is small into a pot, and after it is finished, it will also be sent to me, the sooner the better! ”
Sima Huan hurriedly took the pill in person.
Gu Caiwei took out a few more small needles and stabbed them a few times on the child's head and temples.
After the needle is pricked, the water is ready. Gu Caiwei picked up the small bowl first, gently opened the child's mouth and wanted to feed him. But unexpectedly, as soon as she made a move, the child hummed in a low voice, twisted his little head and refused to cooperate.
At this time, the young master next to him took the initiative to speak: "It's better for me to come!" ”
Gu Caiwei gave up her position, the young master picked up the bowl and handed it to the child, whispering a few words to him, and the child really opened his mouth obediently and began to drink!
It was easy to feed a bowl of medicine, and Gu Caiwei handed over the basin of water again. "Don't bother the second master, now please use this basin of water to scrub his body! Apply it externally and take it internally, so that he can be burned off as soon as possible. ”
"Okay." The young master nodded immediately, soaked the towel in the basin of water, moistened it, wrung it out and wiped it from head to toe for the child.
His movements were meticulous and careful, and although the child had been humming uncomfortably in the middle of the process, he did not have much resistance to make movements. After he rubbed all the child's body with this pot of potion, the child's reddened body slowly began to return to its former whiteness.
Gu Caiwei stepped forward to take another look. "Almost. I'll feed him another time, eat something good, and he'll be fine. ”
After saying that, she set her eyes on the young master and Sima Huan brothers: "When the young master wiped the child's body just now, I saw a few scars on his body. Children have a good ability to recover, and unless they are deeply injured, it is impossible to fall such a visible scar. Can you explain this to me? ”
"Here's the thing......" Sima Huan immediately spoke.
But the young master waved his hand. "Let me tell you!"
Sima Huan shut up, and the young master said, "It was the Yin family who did it." ”
"Young Lady." Gu Caiwei nodded, "She doesn't like Ah Xuan, does she want to get rid of him?" ”
"Yes." The young master nodded.
"So that's why you're taking care of him yourself now without pretending to be someone else's hand?"
"Yes." The young master nodded again.
Gu Caiwei's heart tightened. "Can't you find any cronies to take care of him?"
The young master shook his head slowly. "I'm at the point of betrayal now."
Gu Caiwei was stunned. "Why?"
"Naturally, I was disobedient and disobedient to their mercy." As the young master spoke, a light smile appeared on his face, "Especially when I didn't give birth to a child for a long time, and I brought back a child from outside, and insisted on making him my heir, they were all angry. By now, they've put me in the air. Even now, there are not many people in this dungeon who listen to my command, including the imperial doctors in the dungeon. ”
"They want Ah Xuan to get sick and die, right?" Gu Caiwei asked in a low voice.
"Yes." The young master nodded.
Gu Caiwei's face immediately sank. "In that case, why did you insist on bringing this child back in the first place? If he had stayed with us, he would have lived a good life now. ”
"I know." The young master nodded, but did not say why.
Gu Caiwei looked at him like this, and she was about to ask to the end, when she suddenly heard a sound of footsteps outside.
Sima Huan's face changed, and he hurriedly pulled Gu Caiwei to hide.
They had barely hid behind the screen when they heard a creak, and the door of the main hall had been pushed open.
Through the gap in the middle of the screen, Gu Caiwei saw that the young master's wife led a group of people and walked in violently. I haven't seen her for a few years, and the young lady has become more imposing. Now there is a group of people behind her, which makes her even more imposing.
It's just that no matter how aggressive she is, she doesn't have much of the upper hand when she faces the young master who is alone.
After all, from the moment she saw the young master, she lost.
"Husband." Seeing her standing still in front of the young master, she couldn't help but change her voice.
The voice is cold and hard, but there is still a touch of tenderness in the end note.
The young master didn't say a word with a cold face, and he didn't even look at her.
Seeing this, the young lady immediately set her eyes on the little doll lying on the bed. Immediately, the warmth when facing the young master disappeared, and was replaced by a full hatred and malice.
"This little bastard isn't dead yet?"
Gu Caiwei's heart immediately tightened, she almost couldn't help but want to rush out and scratch this woman's face!
When the young master heard this, there was a wave in his eyes.
"God have mercy, Ah Xuan's fever has begun to subside. If nothing else, he will survive this fate. ”
"Really?" When the young lady heard this, she couldn't help but smile coldly, "Sure enough, you are only willing to say a few words to me when you mention something related to this little bastard." ”
The young master immediately pursed his lips again, and turned his head to take care of the little Ah Xuan who was still humming in a low voice because he was unwell.
The young housewife saw this scene in her eyes, and her eyes were cold again: "Husband, you must have put a lot of thought into him again, right?" So, are you taking my confession as a deaf ear? ”
The young master only took care of Xiao Ah Xuan and ignored her.
Seeing this, the young lady suddenly quickened her pace and walked over, reaching out to grab the little doll on the bed. But the young master seemed to have eyes behind his back, and just as her hand was about to touch Xiao Ah Xuan, he slammed his hand and grabbed the young master's wife's soft, and then threw it back with his arms.
The young master's wife suddenly staggered a few steps, and instantly distanced herself from them.
"Don't touch him." The young master spoke coldly again.
"Good, good!" The young master's wife sneered when she heard this, she said several good words in a row, and then her face became more and more gloomy and terrifying, "Just for this little bastard you brought back from outside, you don't care about anything now, even I don't even look at it!" ”
When the young master heard this, he said, "I don't care about anything, isn't it just what you want?" Anyway, even if I don't care about it now, won't everything work properly? ”
"Haha, yes, everything is still working without you. In that case, what else do we want you to do, the young master? What do you want you to do as the heir of the young master? The young lady sneered.
The young master was silent again, and the young master's wife laughed to herself for a long time, and soon the entire hall was filled with her crazy laughter and scolding. When Gu Caiwei heard it in her ears, she couldn't help but get goosebumps on her arms.
She couldn't help but glance at Sima Huan beside her: "I think the person who really needs to be treated is her, right?" ”
It's only been a long time since the woman has become more and more crazy. Moreover, she could still pretend to be gentle and elegant when she entered the door just now, but in the blink of an eye, she couldn't hold back. Especially at this time, she was already shouting at the top of her voice like crazy: "You speak! You're dumb, aren't you? I talked to you well, why did you just ignore me? Sima Xun, do you have to force me to throw this little bastard to death in front of you? ”
The young master turned his head again. "I have nothing to say to you."
"Good! What a thing to say! Since you have nothing to say, then I'll whip this little bastard to death now! The young lady screamed, she suddenly pulled out the whip from her waist, and swung it towards Xiao Ah Xuan.
Her whip was filled with untold rage. As the whip swung over, the whirring wind could almost be heard hunting. Gu Caiwei's heartbeat couldn't help but slow down, she almost wanted to jump out and stop that woman!
But Sima Huan grabbed her.
Immediately after, a snapping sound was heard, the sound of a whip sinking into the flesh.
Then, the young lady screamed again: "Why? Why? ”
She asked more than a dozen whys in a row, each louder and crazier. By the end, her voice was as sharp as a knife, and the desperate person stabbed it in the ear, and Gu Caiwei could only cover her ears with her hands to avoid her ears being hurt.
But even if she was so crazy, the young master didn't say a word.
However, the people around the young master's wife couldn't stand it anymore, so they hurriedly stepped forward and took the young master's wife away.
With a bang, the door of the main hall was slammed shut, and peace was restored here.
Then, Sima Huan hurriedly dragged Gu Caiwei out. "Quick, you take medicine to treat my brother's wounds!"
Gu Caiwei was pushed by him to the young master, only to find that the young master now had a long blood mark on his arm. The marks penetrated deep into the skin, breaking the epidermis, revealing the bright red flesh inside.
Needless to say, it must have been the whip of the young lady who was forcibly carried by him.
The whip was not light, and if it was any heavier, his bones would have been broken. But the young master was stunned and didn't react at all.
Sima Huan watched from the sidelines, he was about to die, and he was busy urging Gu Caiwei: "Hurry up and get him medicine!" You've got a lot of this medicine on hand! ”
"It's true that I have a lot of this medicine in my hands. But before I take the medicine, I have to ask the young master a few words. Gu Caiwei said coldly.
The head of the young lord's jaw. "You ask."
"I see that the injuries on Ah Xuan's body should have been beaten by the whip of the young master's wife, right?"
"Yes."
Although I had expected that the answer would definitely be so. But now that she heard the affirmative answer from the young master's mouth, Gu Caiwei couldn't help but feel dizzy for a while.
She regretted it. Knowing that this child had suffered so much here at such a young age, she really shouldn't have let them bring the child in the first place, and she had been ignoring it for three years!
"So, now you want to try your best to get me over secretly, in fact, the real purpose is not to let me treat Ah Xuan, but to use me as an introduction to lure Ah Yi over." Gu Caiwei said again.
She looked at the young master's eyes, and continued word by word: "Actually, while the Li Tang royal family is in chaos, you will take advantage of the chaos to arrest me, this is what you have arranged a long time ago." Moreover, this is what you mean, young master, Sima Huan is just a pawn under your hands. ”
"What nonsense are you talking about? It's obviously something I'm happy with! When Sima Huan heard this, he hurriedly shouted.
But the young master waved his hand at him. "Brother, she's right, in fact, I planned this incident single-handedly. You're going to get this step now, and that's exactly what I planned. Everything about you is under my control. ”
Sima Huan's face turned white in an instant. "Brother......
The young master had already turned his head to look at Gu Caiwei again. "What else do you see?"
"I can see that you deliberately dug a pit to lure my family Ah Yi to jump this way!" Gu Caiwei gritted her teeth and roared, "Sima Xun, you are shameless!" ”
When the young master heard this, he bowed his head slightly and bowed to him. "Thank you little lady for the compliment."
There is chaos in the underground palace here, and there is no better in Chang'an City over there.
Princess Taiping took advantage of the fact that the saint led people to surround and suppress her henchmen and sneaked into the mountains, and disappeared for three days. Three days later, she finally appeared in the eyes of the public, and the Royal Forest Army, who searched for her everywhere, hurriedly detained her in the car and sent her back to the princess's mansion to guard.
Then, on the question of how to deal with Princess Taiping, the government and the opposition quarreled.
Some people advocated that she should be kept in solitary confinement and not allowed to go out again for the rest of her life. Some people demanded that she be released, give her a fief and distribute her far away, and she was not allowed to return to Chang'an in the future. But there are also ruthless ones, who directly wrote to ask the saint to give her death. After all, with Princess Taiping's skills and connections, it is not impossible for her to make a comeback in the future. Therefore, in order to prevent trouble, Princess Taiping can't stay!
Because of different views, these three factions quarreled together, and even the Emperor Taishang was implicated.
However, these people quarreled with them, but the entire Ningguo Mansion was worried about another thing - Gu Caiwei was gone.
After Princess Taiping came down the mountain, she specially told the guards who escorted her back to the princess's mansion that Gu Caiwei was on the back mountain and she was safe and sound. However, they stared at her for two days, without waiting for her to come down the mountain.
Du Yi and Gu Tianyuan also took people to the mountain temple where Princess Taiping lived for three days to look for it several times, and there were traces of Gu Caiwei and Princess Taiping staying everywhere. However, now, Princess Taiping has returned to Chang'an and is temporarily detained, but Gu Caiwei is nowhere to be found.
They asked people everywhere, only to hear an old farmer who went up the mountain to chop firewood said: "After Princess Taiping was caught that day, the people who were under martial law at the foot of the mountain left, I hurried up the mountain to cut wood, and saw a black carriage driving in front of me, and the person who drove the car was also black, with a mask on his face, and it was strange and scary in the evening!" ”
"People on the black market." Hearing this, Du Yi, Gu Tianyuan and Du Junqing said in unison.
It's just that as soon as the words came out, several of them fell into deep thought.
"Why are they showing up again? Haven't they all disappeared in recent years? And Sister A...... It stands to reason that she shouldn't get into their car. Gu Tianyuan took the lead in expressing his opinion.
"But it can't be ruled out that there is some unexpected situation that forces her to get in the car willingly." Du Yi said.
As soon as his words fell, Du Junqing spit out two words-"Ah Xuan." ”
Immediately, Du Yi's face became extremely complicated.
"It should be him." He nodded, "A-Niang has always loved me, much more than my brother and sister, I love the house and Wu, and she also cares about my children." Even Ah Xuan is the same. Now as long as they tell her that Ah Xuan is sick, she will inevitably rush over to treat Ah Xuan desperately. ”
"In that case, let's go to the Black Market Underground Palace!" Gu Tianyuan immediately stood up.
However, Du Junqing and Du Yi did not agree. Especially Du Yi, his face has become more and more complicated now.
Gu Tianyuan saw it in his eyes, and his face changed slightly: "Little nephew, don't tell me, you have been hiding other things from me all these years?" ”
"Yes." Du Yi nodded briskly.
"It's an agreement between you and the young master, right?" Du Junqing asked.
Du Yi nodded again.
"You, you, you!" When Gu Tianyuan heard this, he suddenly jumped three feet high in anger, "How can you be like this?" Keep saying that I am your best friend, and we have nothing to talk about between us, but it turns out that such an important matter, for three years, you have not mentioned a word to me! ”
"How do you ask me to mention this? I thought that as long as I insisted on ignoring them and not asking for any news about the child, I would never have anything to do with them again. As a result, who would have thought that they would be so despicable and directly attack A-Niang! Du Yi gritted his teeth and roared,
He was so angry that his face turned pale, his hands were clenched into fists, his finger joints hit each other, making a crisp sound, and the green tendons on the back of his hands burst out, you can imagine how angry he was.
Du Junqing's face was still calm as usual at this time. He only asked lightly, "What is the agreement between you and him?" ”
"It's not a matter of three." Du Yi replied, "We said okay, the first time I went to the underground palace, he could protect me and let me come and go freely." However, if I take the initiative to find it the third time, he will not care about me. Whether I live or die, whether I go or stay, it all depends on my own ability. ”
"Is that all?" Du Junqing's eyebrows twisted slightly.
"It's definitely more than that!" Du Yi continued to roar, "That person is a madman!" His wife is even more! Since he said such a thing at the beginning, he must have expected such a situation a long time ago, otherwise why would he deceive A-Niang? He's just going to make sure I'm going to go! ”
"Are you going or not?" Du Junqing asked again.
"I ...... Go! Du Yi fixed his head.
Du Junqing immediately bowed his head. "Then I'll go with you."
"And me, I'll go too!" Gu Tianyuan also hurriedly raised his hand.
Du Yi nodded. "Okay, let's all go back and prepare now, I will take leave from the saint, count the men and weapons, and set off early tomorrow morning. Now, whatever they're secretly planning, I'm going to find out for myself. Anyway, the big deal is to give up this life, but even if I don't die, I will never allow them to hurt my mother! ”
Gu Tianyuan nodded hurriedly. "Of course! If they dare to touch a finger of my sister, I will fight with them! ”
"They won't. Their purpose is you. Du Junqing immediately said.
Du Yi snorted lightly. "I'm leaving!" Just turn around and leave.
He huffed out of Du Junqing's study, and when he returned home, he quickly wrote a letter and asked Ah Zhong to send it to the saint. Then he began to wipe his weapons and armor himself.
was busy, and suddenly a light footstep came, and his lady Yan came in.
Over the years, the young couple have been in love with each other in Chang'an, and now their relationship is very harmonious. Therefore, seeing Yan's, Du Yi's cold complexion immediately eased a little.
"Why are you here?" He asked in a low voice.
"I'll bring you something." Yan said in a low voice.
As she spoke, she walked slowly to Du Yi and handed him a small thing wrapped in a handkerchief in her hand.
"What is this?" Du Yi looked puzzled.
Yan said, "You can open it and see for yourself." ”
Du Yi took it and opened it to take a look, only to find that the handkerchief was wrapped in a tiger talisman!
He immediately looked up at Yan, but Yan lowered his eyes. "The young master has explained, as long as you make up your mind to kill you one day, let me hand over this thing to you. However, whether to accept it or not, this is your decision, and neither he nor I will interfere. ”
Du Yi looked down at this tiger talisman again, and a wry smile suddenly appeared on his face: "He really dug the pit for me a long time ago, and now he is still standing aside, watching me take the initiative to jump down." And if I jumped, then I was willing, and had nothing to do with him. This man is indeed despicable and cunning, he has been calculating me, and my deeds are so far inferior to his! ”
As he spoke, he slowly closed his eyes, and finally his five fingers slowly tightened, wrapping the tiger talisman firmly in the depths of his palm.
"But now, do I have any other choice but to take this? I...... Picked up. ”
