The man didn't know whether he believed Xie Yugui's words or not, so he only looked at her for a moment, and then asked Xie Yugui and Mrs. Liu to take him out of the room.

After arriving in the courtyard, the two found that there were already many female dependents standing in the courtyard of the West Wing.

Most of them were suddenly awakened in the middle of the night, disheveled, with their hair disheveled, and their faces even more panicked.

Many people didn't know what was going on, but they saw that the people who had swarmed into their respective houses were rummaging around, as if they were looking for something, and only after asking each other did they know about the theft of the imperial tomb.

These ladies were immediately angry, thinking that these eagle guards were simply mad dogs.

They just came to offer incense, so what does the theft of the imperial tomb have to do with them?

These people actually broke into their rooms without reason, and if they were seen or bumped into something that should not have been bumped into, wouldn't they have no honor.

It's a pity that in the face of the eagle guards guarding around them, they are angry and dare not speak.

No one dared to provoke this group of madmen.

The cold wind was blowing around, and everyone was shivering from the cold.

Mrs. Liu came out in a hurry before, and only put on a cloak on the bedgown, but at this time, she was blown by the cold wind, her knees hurt a little unsteadily, and her lips were also blue from the cold.

"You lean on me."

Xie Yugui hugged her, pulled the fox cage on Mrs. Liu's lap, let her whole body stick to herself, and kept rubbing the back of Mrs. Liu's hand as if she wanted to warm her up, and when she looked at Mrs. Liu, there was a look of guilt in her eyes.

Mrs. Liu couldn't help but wonder, "What are you doing with all the guilt on your face?" ”

"If I hadn't come to see you, I'd have been scared half to death if they broke into it while I was resting."

I didn't see the old lady of the Sun family, who was the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, was still pale at this time, and the little girl in her family had already fallen asleep and was awakened, and came out of bed in a hurry, and she was embarrassed and embarrassed by tears at this time.

Mrs. Liu patted Xie Yugui's hand, lowered her voice and said, "Don't be afraid, although the people of the Eagle Guard are unscrupulous, but after all, we are the families of courtiers, as long as it has nothing to do with this matter, they will not be embarrassed." ”

Xie Yugui hummed lowly.

A group of people stood in the courtyard, watching the eagle guards go in and out, and the sound of things tossing and turning could be heard in the wings.

After a long time, the Eagle Guards, who had been scattered, retreated, and someone stepped forward and whispered a few words to the leader.

The man's eyebrows furrowed: "All searched?" ”

The man said: "I have searched everything, except for some blood stains in Mrs. Gu's residence, there is nothing wrong with anything else, and I have not found anything missing in the mausoleum." ”

Everyone looked towards Xie Yugui.

Mrs. Liu was startled first, and hurriedly said: "My lord, it is impossible for Mrs. Gu to steal the imperial tomb, don't say that she has been with me tonight, how can such a weak woman as she enter a place like the imperial tomb, even the bloodstains are also for a reason." ”

"Gu Shizi's life and death are uncertain, Mrs. Gu Shao copied the scriptures in blood to pray for Gu Shizi, the adult who went to find us before this matter should be clear, and the Buddhist scriptures are still in the room."

Mrs. Liu was afraid that Xie Yugui would be targeted by the Eagle Guard, so she hurriedly took her hand and said:

"She is very stupid, she only thinks about praying for her husband, and she is stupid to copy the scriptures with her own blood, if I hadn't stopped her before, she didn't know what she would have tossed herself."

Xie Yugui was wrapped in Mrs. Liu's handkerchief, and there were blood stains on the handkerchief.

After Mrs. Liu untied the veil, she revealed the criss-crossing wounds underneath.

The wound is both new and old, the old one has long been scabbed, but the new one is still oozing blood, obviously it is not the first time that Xie Yugui has copied the scriptures with blood.

The eyes of the people around him have changed.

Xie Yugui seemed to be embarrassed and embarrassed, and hurriedly pulled his sleeves to cover it.

The person who had gone to thank them before also stepped forward and whispered in the ear of the leader: "My lord, there are indeed Buddhist scriptures in her room, and the inkstone on the ground is full of blood. ”

"The subordinates just led someone to search, and there is nothing else in her room."

The leader looked at Xie Yugui for a moment before retracting his gaze.

"There is a lot of trouble tonight for the search for thieves, please forgive me."

"Only the thief is rampant, if you see a suspicious person in the future, please report it immediately, and if there is nothing else, please stay in the room and rest early, lest we wait for the search and arrest to have a collision."

When the man had finished speaking, he bowed his hand and said in a deep voice:

"Let's go!"

The Eagle Guard came and went fast.

After the noisy departure, the Big Buddha Temple was quiet again.

Although everyone was afraid, they were even more surprised by Xie Yugui, and many people looked at her, with curiosity, admiration, and sympathy in their eyes.

Xie Yugui's hand had already withdrawn from his sleeve, his body stiffened slightly against all kinds of eyes, and he helped Mrs. Liu back to the house as if she was fleeing, and after she left, the people in the courtyard whispered.

"This Xie family has a deep affection for the Gu family."

"Isn't it, I heard earlier that the Gu family has postponed the marriage date again and again, and many people in Beijing feel that the Xie family is afraid that they will quit their relatives and find another lover for the Xie family, but they didn't expect the Xie family to keep their promise and wait for four years."

Nearly 20 years old to get married, how many can there be in this Beijing?

"That Gu Shizi is a good fate, it's a pity to find such a person who has a deep affection for him......"

Everyone in the courtyard knew what this pity was for.

The old lady of the Sun family is soft-hearted, and Xie Yugui's appearance of copying the scriptures with blood obviously touched her, she whispered to the girl next to her, and asked someone to take some wound medicine for Xie Yugui.

……

After Xie Yugui helped Mrs. Liu back to the room, he waited for her to wrap the quilt around her body and the room to warm up, and then said in a low voice: "Mrs. Fang Cai shouldn't have mentioned this matter." ”

Mrs. Liu didn't understand at first, but when she figured out what Xie Yugui said, she suddenly glared at her: "If I don't say it, will it be difficult to wait for the Eagle Guard to arrest you?" ”

"They won't."

"How not?"

Mrs. Liu said, "Who is the Eagle Guard?" Who is King Li? When have they acted reasonably, if they are really targeted, don't say it's you, even the Xian'an Hou Mansion and the Xie family will suffer. ”

"Besides, do you know who the eldest princess is, she's ......"

She paused, as if she was afraid of something, and swallowed back the words that came to her lips,

"Anyway, you have to remember, don't have anything to do with tonight's incident."

"As for the rest, aren't you copying the scriptures doing anything bad, so that people know what you are afraid of?"

Xie Yugui pursed his lips: "I just want to pray for the prince, I don't want people to gossip." ”

Mrs. Liu nodded at her in vain, and her face was angry: "You, you, you, you have done all this foolish thing, and you are still afraid of people gossiping?" ”
