At the same time, in the guest room by the garden of the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion, Yang sat there thoughtfully, and Old Madam Yu lay unconscious on the bed.

Yang said to Mama Bi, "Sure enough, you still see the truth in adversity, you have already left your nationality, and you are still willing to take care of your mother." Ay. ”

Bi Mama said, "The old lady was very good to me back then, and now she is in trouble, of course I have to do my best to take care of her." ”

After speaking, she took the small table and put the food on the table, "Madam, you can use some first." The old lady doesn't know when she'll wake up, hey, but I don't know how sad she will be when she wakes up. In the future, I can only do everything in bed. ”

Yang took a few sips of bird's nest porridge and said, "Take it down, I don't want to eat it, has Xiaoci settled down there?" ”

The maids of the Gu family are all fenced off, and even the dowries of the various daughters-in-law are fenced off, it stands to reason that the dowries of the daughters-in-law are not counted in the private property of the Gu family, maybe they can go back tomorrow and beg their father, let him help the Gu family say a few words, and if it doesn't work, get out the dowries of the ladies first.

Mama Bi saw that the Yang family pushed the bird's nest porridge, and said, "Madam, the rest is enough, this bird's nest porridge was specially sent by the grandmother next to the eldest princess......"

Yang is not stupid, how can he not understand Bi Mama's voice, but now it is different from the past, and now that people are under the fence, people can't help but give face, so as not to be gossiped about.

When she thought of her mother's family, she refused to take in the Gu family, and only said that she would take her back, but how could she go back by herself?

She reluctantly drank the bowl of bird's nest porridge, and Mama Bi neatly took the bowl and went out.

Yang sat on the edge of Mrs. Yu's bed, and Mrs. Yu looked embarrassed in her sleep, her hair was scattered on the pillow, the skin on her face was furrowed, and her lips were chapped.

Yang's face twitched, this old lady, who has been selfish all her life, never felt that she was wrong, the fault was someone else, she had been calculating all her life, but in fact, she had not asked for anything good in her life.

She didn't want the old lady to wake up again, but thinking of the task her father had given her, she hoped that he would wake up.

Mrs. Yu woke up in the middle of the night, and when she woke up, she found an oil lamp lit in the bedroom, and there was no one around.

It's already so late? She remembered that it was morning when she received the decree, and then she vomited a mouthful of blood......

Did you just sleep all day?

This isn't her house, where is it?

She rolled her eyes, trying to look around.

She felt a tightness in her chest, a mouthful of phlegm in her throat, and a breath was like the 'hehe' sound of a beat-out bellows.

She felt that her mouth was dry and wanted to drink some water to moisten it, but she couldn't move her whole body, she didn't have any strength at all, she wanted to open her mouth and call someone to serve, but no matter how hard she tried, her throat just couldn't make a sound, and it was just a 'ho-ho' sound.

The door squeaked open, and Mama Bi quietly walked in, extinguished the lamp she was carrying, and saw the old lady glaring at her, her gaze seemed to be about to eat people, so she asked, 'Is the old lady awake?' But want to drink water? ’

Old Madam Yu wanted to let the slave who judged the master go away, but she couldn't say a word, so she could only turn her eyes to protest, and the eyes seemed to bulge out.

Mama Bi poured out a glass of warm water from the stove next to her, looked at the old lady's eager and angry eyes, and laughed,

"Don't worry, this water is too hot, be careful of hurting your throat, slave can count on you to get better, so that I can tell me those secrets."

Secret? Old Madam Yu's breath stagnated instantly, and the corners of her mouth suddenly twitched uncontrollably!

As if she hadn't seen it, Mama Bi blew the water in the bowl and asked, "You like to add a spoonful of honey when you drink water, but unfortunately, this is someone else's house, so don't be poor." ”

She tested the temperature of the water, gently lifted the old lady's head with one hand, and slowly fed her water.

After drinking a stick of incense, Mama Bi helped the old lady feed a bowl of water.

After drinking the water, she gently wiped the corner of the old lady's lips with a handkerchief, and said,

"Speaking of which, you are also blessed, the old lady has never had an outside heart until he dies, and he doesn't even have a maid in the room. But you can die to death. ”

When the old Qi Guogong was young, how many people admired him, he was in a high position, he was dignified, and he was clean and self-conscious, it was not difficult to like such a man.

But Mama Bi didn't have this idea at first, she only thought about her age, with her dignity in front of the old lady, how could she be a housekeeper, so that she didn't have to wait for people anymore.

However, at that time, Mrs. Yu didn't let her go, the master was the sky, and she couldn't say anything as a subordinate, so in this way, she stayed for another two years.

It's just that she didn't expect that one day Old Madam Yu asked her if she wanted to serve Old Qi Guogong.

At that time, she was stunned, as the person who served her closely, she knew how tightly Mrs. Yu was guarded, how could she easily open her mouth to find a woman for her husband?

She thought that Mrs. Yu was testing her loyalty, she quickly and firmly refused, but Mrs. Yu didn't know which way to smoke, the more she refused, the more she had to promote her, and finally she was moved.

It's just that when she fell in love with the old Qi Guogong in anticipation, Mrs. Yu seemed to have forgotten about it, and came to ask her if she liked which little guy or shopkeeper in the mansion did she like. She wants to marry herself off in style.

At that time, her heart was cold, she was full of old Qi Guogong in her eyes at this time, if she could look at the upper and lower people?

She hated that the old lady had given her a ladder, helped her up to the wall, and then took the ladder away, so that she could not go down or down the wall, so she chose a steward and married.

But when it came to her son, Mrs. Yu still didn't save her, she really hated her death.

Now, she has finally found an opportunity.

After listening to Mama Bi's words, Mrs. Yu didn't react for a while, but she felt that Mama Bi's face was very ugly at the moment, and she was scared for a while, and she screamed.

Mama Bi interrupted her call, "Don't scream, who will pay attention to you in the middle of the night?" Let's talk. ”

She stretched out her hand to tuck the corner of the quilt for Old Madam Yu, looked at Old Madam Yu with compassion, and said softly, "If you can give your husband a little more trust, you will not fall into the current situation." ”

"The old man doesn't want you to suffer the pain of losing a child, so he conceals the identity of your third master, if you are willing to ask more, maybe, today you are still happy to be your old feudal monarch, how can you fall to the point where such people hate dogs?"

"Your daughter-in-law and granddaughter refuse to come to serve you, oh, by the way, the second and fourth masters have been released, because they have divided the family, not only have the officials been reinstated, but they have also returned all the family property."

"Why don't I help you change your child, how innocent is the county lord of Jingning, just because he married into your Gu family, he died at a young age, you say, who is the person who met you?"

"Grandpa, there are four major dukes left in the capital, and if you remove the Qi Mansion, there will be only the British Princess, the Chengen Prince, and the Yasukuni Mansion."

"Cheng'en Gong is definitely not, he can't talk to you like this, then there are only the British Duke and the Yasukuni Mansion left, which one is it? You blink? ”

"Maybe it can make you feel better, and die decently."

Suddenly, Old Madam Yu didn't know where the force came from, and her neck suddenly bounced a fist distance from the pillow, and Huo Huo had a thick phlegm sound in her throat that couldn't be dissolved, "Don't think." ”

Mama Bi was indifferent to the strong reaction with the old lady, but laughed instead, "Do you know why the eldest prince wants to take you in?" ”

Old Madam Yu opened her mouth wide and couldn't speak, and her eyes were about to pop out of her sockets.

"You didn't expect the eldest princess to take in the Gu family, did you? I didn't expect that, but I knew she would know who the hell you were meeting with. ”

"You have to repay someone, right, and besides, it's about the death of someone's daughter."

Old Madam Yu glared at Mama Bi, and her thin hand wanted to move, but she didn't have the slightest strength.

After Bi Mama finished speaking, she lifted Mrs. Yu's quilt, the window opened, and the cool breeze of early September outside blew in.

Seeing this, Mama Bi laughed, turned around and went out, but the poor old lady froze all night.

After that, in addition to having a stroke and not being able to move, Mrs. Yu also had to face typhoid fever.

*

Gu Nian didn't know what the emperor would do with his father, and he didn't issue a decree to reprimand her resistance, as if there was no such thing.

She lay on the bed, closed her eyes, tears burst out, and in an instant she soaked the pillow, in order not to let the princess of the protector hear it, she had to endure it and not make a sound.

Tossed and turned all night, until the sky outside the window turned white, I forced myself to close my eyes.

When it was close to noon, Zhou Yan came to ask for a meeting, saying that Gu Nian could go with her to see Gu Shi'an.

Gu Nian was excited, she couldn't wait to see her father and see if he was doing well.

When he arrived at the gate of the prison, Zhou Yan stepped forward to take care of it, motioned for Gu Nian to follow, and entered the prison gate.

Entering the door was normal, and the jailer led them to the left into the separate detention area, until they reached the inside, where they saw a cage in front of them surrounded by guards, and a lone person sitting inside was sitting on his side, looking at what he was doing.

It's the father.

"Daddy." Gu Nian picked up her skirt and ran up, the guards outside the prison grabbed her and didn't allow her to get too close, Gu Shi'an turned around when he heard the voice, and said in surprise, "Niannian? ”

Gu Nian's tears burst out suddenly, and he took out a few ingots of silver from his purse and gave them to the guards outside, "I'm his daughter, I'm here to see, please be accommodating." ”

Zhou Yan also bowed down and said a few words to the people who looked like generals on the side, and then listened to the generals, "Since you are the county lord, you all let go." ”

The guards moved sideways, and Gu Nian approached the edge of the cell door, seeing that his father was not injured or in pain, and his hair and clothes were neat. Whispered,

"Grandmother outside will go to the palace to see the emperor today, Daddy, do you have anything to say?"

Gu Shi'an smiled and stretched out his hand to stroke the top of Gu Nian's head, "Daddy just begs you to take good care of yourself, Daddy is fine, wait for Daddy to go out." ”

Gu Nian listened to the tears falling big and big, and she wiped them with her sleeve carelessly, "Daddy, can you tell me, do you know?" ”

Gu Shi'an stretched out his thumb and wiped the tears on Gu Nian's face, and was afraid that his hands were too rough, so he wiped them on his clothes, "There are three bricks down the floor tiles against the wall on the bookshelf in my study, there is a dark grid, there are things in it, you can take it out and know it." ”

"But it's not all the stuff, you can show it to your grandmother, if she's willing to do it, then everyone is happy, if she doesn't want to, then don't complain."

Gu Nian nodded tearfully, "Grandmother will definitely help, Daddy, I won't let you have anything to do." ”

Gu Shi'an listened to Gu Nian's words like an oath, and laughed, he has a good daughter, if he can get out of here, he is willing to hold the world in front of her.

After Gu Nian came out of the prison, she went straight to the Gu Mansion in Liyu Hutong, she didn't go to the main gate, and now there must be someone in the house to handle each door, not to mention the main gate.

The sky was overcast and gloomy, as if there would be an autumn rain coming at any time, the pedestrians on the street were in a hurry, and Astragalus sat in the car, trying to persuade the girl to go back to the Marquis of Anyuan Mansion first.

Gu Nian asked Uncle Yang to drive the carriage to the locust tree in front of the alley of Gu Mansion, and asked Uncle Yang to wait for her in the car, she took the astragalus to walk along the wall of Gu Mansion, and sure enough, there were Jinyi guards guarding the gate, side door, and even the back corner door, and the two turned to the backyard of the house and looked at the wall.

Astragalus didn't know what she was going to do, so she followed behind Gu Nian and watched her walk around the wall.

Gu Nian looked at the wall less than a zhang high, and some branches poked out of the wall, now in September, it is golden autumn, and the scenery inside should be just right, and it took her a lot of effort to decorate this house at the beginning, but now, it ......

"County Lord, what are you going to do?" Astragalus couldn't help but ask.

Gu Nian looked up at the wall with a deep expression, thinking about how long it would take to walk from here to his father's study, and he didn't know if there was anyone guarding the house.

This is an alley in the Gu family's back house, usually no one walks around, as long as you are careful, you are not afraid that the next thing will be discovered.

"Astragalus, is your kung fu good?" Gu Nian asked cautiously.

When Huang Qi heard this, she felt that her scalp was about to explode, and she looked at the wall, and she already knew what her girl was going to do, and she was a little distressed, but she still nodded and said truthfully,

"Girl, this wall slave can climb over, and it can also take you over."

Gu Nian stroked his palms and patted the astragalus, "Fortunately, I have you." ”

Astragalus was slapped like that by her own girl, and her face showed a bit of suspicious red, but it was just a wall, which was nothing.

"How are you going to get up? Just like that, 'whoosh', just jump on it? Gu Nian asked, groping around the wall, as if she had to find another way if she couldn't turn it over.

Huang Qi knew that her girl was very sad because of the third master's matter, and she also knew that her girl was not an ordinary girl, but she climbed the wall or something......

"Girl, it's very simple." Astragalus gritted his teeth and said.

At this time, the sky began to drizzle, the autumn wind blew, the fallen leaves were scattered, Astragalus was not worried about the situation inside, she said to Gu Nian,

"Girl, you wait here for the slave maid for a while, and the slave maid will go inside to find out the situation first."

Gu Nian nodded, "Be careful." If there are a lot of guards, then forget it, let's find a way, or come back at night, it's the same, safety first. ”

She didn't know how high Astragalus's kung fu was, but if she broke into such a place guarded by Jinyi guards without permission and was caught, the consequences were a bit serious.

After she finished explaining, Astragalus first threw a pebble into it, and after waiting for a while, no sound came, so she jumped up and disappeared into the wall.

Gu Nian leaned against the wall, his father was in prison, although he was guarded by heavy soldiers, but fortunately, he was not tortured, and the treatment was good.

It shouldn't be a problem for the time being. Although King Su's name has the word 'anti', he is still grateful by many people, it is he who ended the battle between the princes and ended the more tragic bloodshed and sacrifice.

It's just that what I don't understand now is why it was characterized as 'anti' by the first emperor at that time, shouldn't it be King Qin? What went wrong?

Thinking that Gu Shi'an put things in such a secret place, it must be very important, what kind of information would be inside?

Gu Nian bit her nails, slowly and little by little to clear her thoughts, the wall suddenly moved again, she looked up and saw that it was the astragalus that came out.

"What's going on now?" She asked softly.

Huang Qi said, "There are not many people inside, probably all the people are distributed in various doors, and there are no people inside." ”

"The slave took you in, and the situation has been figured out."

Gu Nian nodded, and then Astragalus quickly jumped over the wall with Gu Nian, and then took her to float down the rockery in the back garden, and finally landed on the ground.

Gu Nian glanced at the quiet courtyard, and the garden was a decadent scene, as if it had not been cleaned up for a long time.

Looking at it, Gu Nian couldn't help but shed tears, although she lived here for a short time, it was her father's home with her, and she didn't know if she could return here.

Gu Nian followed behind Astragalus, and slowly touched Gu Shi'an's study in the front yard, "Girl, what do you want, hurry up." Although there are not many people in the house, it is also a key care object. The patrol came over in a moment. ”

Gu Nian pushed open the study, there was no trace of it being turned over, the paper, inkstone, pen and ink used by his father were all in the original place, there was still half of the written paper on the bookcase, and the bookshelf against the wall was also neat.

It's as if the owner of this place has just left.

Gu Nian didn't think about it so much, sniffled, and walked quickly to the place Gu Shi'an said, the bookshelf was too heavy, Gu Nian couldn't push it, she beckoned to the astragalus that was blowing outside.

Huang Qi looked around, closed the door after coming in, and helped Gu Nian push open the bookshelf together, fortunately, this bookshelf was added later, only one grid, three layers, and the two of them moved away without wasting too much effort.

After taking out the things, Gu Nian lifted the hem of her skirt and wanted to tie it to her legs, but Astragalus twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "Girl, I'll come." ”

Gu Nian thought about it, if he was tied to himself, he would definitely be difficult to walk, so he silently handed it to the astragalus.

After everything was done, the bookshelf was put back in place, Gu Nian looked at the dust on the ground, and patted it lightly with her hand, there were two marks in the place where she had just moved, and she had to smooth it out.

As soon as the master and servant were about to go out, they heard footsteps outside,

Gu Nian clenched her fists, and Astragalus pulled her to hide behind the screen in the study, behind which there was a soft collapse, which Gu Shi'an used for a nap.

The two of them cowered in the corner of the screen, not daring to move.

As soon as it was hidden, the door of the study was pushed open, and two brocade guards wearing flying fish suits walked in.

"I want to use this place to catch big fish, and I don't know when someone will come." The voice was rough, as if it had been run over by gravel.

"You say, Commander Gu is really the orphan of the anti-king? I've never heard of it before, how did it suddenly come out. "Listening to the accent is a young newcomer.

"What kind of commander, now that you are a criminal, you don't want to make a mistake in front of Lord Zhai, be careful that you can't eat and walk around." The rough voice kindly reminded the young man.

The two of them slowly walked to the bookcase while talking, and casually glanced into the room.

"Come and see once in a quarter of an hour, and if someone comes in, the brothers outside should give a warning. Let's go. The rough voice seemed to pull a companion from the same company.

"That's not good, didn't you say you can't make a mistake in front of Lord Zhai? I'll go inside. ”

"Look at what, you're here, I'll go and see, just right, I'll go inside for a little relief."

The young man's voice was full of disgust, "No one pours night incense here, you pull it here, won't it stink to death when the time comes?" ”

"No one comes here anyway, if someone really comes, wouldn't it be better to smoke to death, save some effort."

The rough voice casually pulled the trouser belt, turned the screen, and went to the clean room at the back.

Astragalus heard the rough voice getting tighter and tighter, and she was ready to go, as long as the rough voice screamed, she would pounce on him and solve him first.

It's just that I didn't expect the rough voice to ignore it, and went straight to the clean room, and then there was a murky voice.

Gu Nian's atmosphere didn't dare to come out, he couldn't tell what this rough voice meant, did he want to solve one of the three emergencies first and then solve them, or, did he really not see the two behind the screen?

The rough voice was walking and tying his trouser belt, and the young man outside was urging, "Okay, okay?" I want to pull it too. ”

"Okay, it's out, what's the hurry." The rough voice turned out, pushing the young man out of the study, "Go outside, go outside, it's stinking inside." ”

Then there was the sound of the door closing, the footsteps gradually faded away, Gu Nian let out a long breath, and Astragalus also put away the momentum on his body, stood up and pulled Gu Nian up.

"Girl, let's go, someone should come again in a moment."

Out of the study, Astragalus dragged Gu Nian out according to the original path, until he got out of the wall, Gu Nian's heart was still beating wildly.

"Do you know that person just now?" She asked Astragalus.

Xiao Yue is doing intelligence, and there will definitely be hidden piles everywhere, as a person who is also Xiao Yue's person, Gu Nian thought that person must know Astragalus.

Who knew that Huang Qi shook his head, "County master, the slave doesn't know that person." ”

Gu Nian was surprised, who could that be? Where are the two big living people shrinking, it is impossible for him not to see it.

The rain in the sky was falling in wisps, and it was not too big, but it soon dye his hair wet, and the air became clammy and cold.

Gu Nian straightened her dress, and heard a short exclamation from Astragalus, which made her feel shocked and thought that they had been discovered.

It's just that when she turned around suddenly, she didn't expect to see a man who shouldn't be here, a tall figure standing there against the light, dressed in a damp walking clothes, with a dusty face, a slightly pale face, and a tired color that could not be concealed in his eyebrows, a pair of boots were covered with heavy mud, and every step he took left a yellow mud footprint on the ground, and even the corners of his clothes were splashed with dots of mud.

This was not the first time Gu Nian had seen Xiao Yue, she could still clearly remember the first time they met in front of the carriage, his figure as if he had come from hell.

Her eyes were slightly moist, and there was silence in the alley, echoing his footsteps, "Niannian, I'm back." ”

Then, there was a sudden hug.
