Chapter 4: Nightmares, Strange

## #月色高挂, in the Moon Pavilion of the Protector's Mansion

"Don't ...... Tangram ...... Tangram ...... No...... Yes!!! ”

Gu Yanran, who was on the bed, suddenly turned over and sat up, and the huge beads of sweat on her forehead dripped down her slightly pale cheeks and fell onto the silk brocade quilt under her, blooming into flowers.

In front of Gu Yanran's eyes, the picture of the seven-trick falling into the water is still vivid.

Such a fright made Gu Yanran unconsciously hold her breath.

It wasn't until she felt an unbearable pain in her chest that Gu Yanran really came back to her senses.

"Hah...... Ha ......" Gu Yanran greedily sucked the air nearby.

However, because she was too anxious to make up for the lack of air, Gu Yanran choked and coughed violently for a while.

"Ahem, ahem...... Ahem, ahem, ahem, ahem, ......"

Gu Yanran coughed heartbreakingly, but heard a rush of footsteps from far to near.

Before he could raise his eyes, he heard a familiar and concerned voice ringing in his ears.

"Miss Yan!" Gu Qiqiao rushed to the side of the bed and knelt down, and couldn't help but panic when she saw Gu Yanran's slightly embarrassed appearance. "Miss Yan, what's wrong with you?

Could it be that you are not feeling well?

You wait, slave maid, let people go and ask for a doctor! Gu Qiqiao stood up and prepared to send others outside the Yingyue Pavilion to ask for a doctor.

Gu Yanran saw that Gu Qiqiao was about to leave, and subconsciously grabbed her hand.

"Tangram!" Gu Yanran's voice trembled and called Gu Qiqiao, and tears flowed uncontrollably. "Don't, don't leave me, don't!"

Gu Qiqiao looked at Gu Yanran who seemed to be afraid of something, so she sat on the edge of the bed and held her hand.

"Okay, good, slave and maid won't leave." Gu Qiqiao deliberately lowered her voice and coaxed Gu Yanran, took off the silk handkerchief hanging on the bedpost, and wiped the sweat droplets on her body for her. "Miss Yan, you're a nightmare, aren't you?"

"Nightmare...... Whew, it turned out to be just a nightmare. After Gu Yanran breathed a sigh of relief, she met Gu Qiqiao's sight, but she found something unusual. Tangram you ...... I look a lot younger than I did yesterday. ”

"Huh." Gu Qiqiao laughed out loud when he heard this. "Miss Yan, you are really, the slave maid only passed the twenty-eighth (sixteenth) birthday half a decade ago, if you are young, shouldn't you become a milk baby?"

"Twenty-eight?" Gu Yanran's eyes widened suddenly. "Aren't you almost twenty-nine (eighteen)?"

Gu Qiqiao frowned slightly, realizing the seriousness of the problem. "Miss Yan, aren't you frightened by nightmares?

No, the slave will call Dr. Cui immediately! ”

"Hey! Tangram! Gu Yanran wanted to stop Gu Qiqiao, but she couldn't even grasp the corners of Gu Qiqiao's ethereal skirt.

In the middle of the night, Gu Qiqiao hurriedly sent someone to find a doctor outside the mansion to diagnose and treat Gu Yanran, and the matter was spread in the Protector Mansion.

Since Gu Yanran was a noble relative of the Protector Mansion, several people had already poured into Gu Yanran's house before the doctor arrived at Yingyue Pavilion.

The wife of the head of the family, that is, Gu Yanran's mother, Lin Wanzhi, sat on the edge of the bed.

"Yan'er, you're uncomfortable, aren't you?" Lin Wanzhi raised her hand to caress Gu Yanran's bloodless and almost transparent face, feeling distressed. "Bear with me, the doctor will be here soon."

Gu Yanran didn't want Lin Wanzhi to worry about her, so she barely put a smile on her face. "Don't worry, mother, I'm fine."

"And said it's okay!" The majestic voice of the head of the family, Gu Jingnian (Gu Yanran's father), resounded throughout the entire Reflecting Moon Pavilion. "Look at your face, how haggard you are?!!"

Although Gu Jingnian's tone of voice is not good, it sounds to anyone as 'the deep responsibility of love'.

"I ......" Gu Yanran bit her lower lip and didn't speak.

Lin Wanzhi saw her daughter's tears in her eyes, and immediately lost her good face to Gu Jingnian. "Gu Jingnian, what are you doing fiercely?"

"Enough!" Gu Changtai (Gu Yanran's grandfather) scolded Gu Jingnian and Lin Wanzhi for their noise. "Is this the time for you two to get angry?"

As soon as Gu Changtai's words fell, he heard Gu Qiqiao's panting voice in the distance.

"The doctor is here, the doctor is here! Let's go, let's go! ”

Gu Qiqiao dragged the man who looked to be in his thirties around the few people standing in the room, came to the bed, and then pressed the man to sit on the empty round stool.

"Dr. Cui, hurry, hurry!" Gu Qiqiao hadn't relieved himself yet, but he only remembered to urge the doctor. "Hurry up, hurry up and treat my sister-in-law!"

Under the gaze of several masters of the Gu family in the Protector Mansion, Dr. Cui couldn't take care of breathing.

"Yes, yes, yes." Dr. Cui reached out and put his hand on Gu Yanran's wrist, and it took a while before he withdrew his hand.

Lin Wanzhi saw Dr. Cui standing up and asked eagerly. "Doctor Cui, what's wrong with Yan'er?"

"Mrs. Gu rest assured, Miss Chang is fine, but her pulse is slightly disturbed, which should be caused by the shock." Dr. Cui took out a small porcelain bottle from the medicine box. "There is a peace of mind pill here, just feed it to the girl."

"Just leave it to the slave and maid." Gu Qiqiao took out the small porcelain bottle in Dr. Cui's hand, turned around and went to a slightly farther place to pour tea for Gu Yanran.

Seeing this, Lin Wanzhi summoned the maid ring who was waiting outside the door. "Chunying, take Dr. Cui to the account room to pay for the medical fee, and reward an additional ten taels of silver."

"The slave obeys." Chun Ying blessed her body and led Dr. Cui out of Yingyue Pavilion.

At this time, Gu Qiqiao came to the bed with a cup of warm tea.

"Girl." Gu Qiqiao handed the pills and tea to Gu Yanran's lips. "While the tea is still warm, take the medicine quickly."

Gu Yanran didn't want everyone to worry, so she had to open her mouth and swallow the pill under Gu Qiqiao's service.

After taking the medicine, Gu Yanran turned her head to look at Gu Changtai and the others, arousing a sweet smile.

"Grandpa, father, mother, I'm really sorry to wake you up in the middle of the night, Yan'er was just scared by the nightmare, and now it's much better, you go back and rest."

"Nope." Lin Wanzhi shook her head. "My mother is here to accompany you, so if you have a bad nightmare, you can take care of it."

"Mother~~~" Gu Yanran called Lin Wanzhi coquettishly, and pleaded with her gaze. "Go back, Yan'er wants to be alone for a while."

Although Lin Wanzhi couldn't rest assured, Gu Yanran had a firm attitude, so she had to leave with Gu Changtai and Gu Jingnian.

Gu Qiqiao thought that Gu Yanran really wanted to stay alone, so she wanted to leave. "Miss Yan, the slave and maid will retire first, please ...... earlier"

"Tangram, don't go!" Gu Yanran grabbed Gu Qiqiao again and patted the bed under her. "Sleep with me tonight."

Gu Qiqiao was surprised. "Didn't Miss Chang say she wanted to be quiet for a while?"

"Fake." Gu Yanran curled the corners of her lips and smiled. "I said I wanted to be alone, but I actually wanted to talk to you alone."

"Hey, hey, hey." Gu Qiqiao smiled extremely brightly, took off her shoes and jumped on the bed, leaning side by side with Gu Yanran at the head of the bed. "What do you want to talk about?"
