Chapter 22: Awakening, Weiyang

Gu Qiqiao trotted to the selected door, his slightly trembling fingers pinching the silver spoon and aiming it at the cylinder of the big lock.

"Heaven ...... Bless! ”

Gu Qiqiao closed his eyes and poked the silver spoon into the lock cylinder, and then heard a 'click'.

Open, open?

Gu Qiqiao couldn't believe his luck, and opened his eyes to stare at the silver key in his hand that was deeply embedded in the lock cylinder......

Haha, it's really open!

Gu Qiqiao was overjoyed, immediately took off the lock and pushed the door open, and then turned around to tell Gu Yanran the good news.

"Girl, the door opens...... Uhhhh Gu Qiqiao's unfinished words turned to screaming, and his eyes widened and he looked at the empty tree. What about people?!! ”

She obviously placed Gu Yanran under the tree just now, why did she disappear now?

Gu Qiqiao ran under the tree in a panic, and after turning around the trunk, he didn't even see an ant.

"Could it be that he sobered up a little bit and left the tree by himself?"

Gu Qiqiao thought so, spread her legs and looked for Gu Yanran's figure around.

On the right side of the dark alley is an official road leading to the Imperial City of Yeyu, and on the left side is a secluded forest path that stretches straight to the large bamboo forest behind it.

But whether it was the official road or the secluded forest path extending to the bamboo forest, Gu Qiqiao didn't see Gu Yanran's figure anywhere.

Back under the tree, Gu Qiqiao, who was already exhausted, sat down on the ground.

"It's over, I lost Miss Yan......" Gu Qiqiao looked around blankly, and suddenly couldn't hold back crying anymore. Wow, girl, where are you? ”

Gu Qiqiao cried heartbreakingly, causing the man standing on the high wall behind the tree to frown.

It's not because the man is a person who is reluctant to see the woman crying, it's really because Gu Qiqiao's crying is too noisy, and his head is too big when he listens.

"Idiot." The man flew off the wall, landed exactly behind Gu Qiqiao, and roared a little impatiently. "Stop howling!"

β€œοΌοΌοΌβ€ Gu Qiqiao was startled by the sudden sound behind him, and suddenly bounced off the ground.

It's just that Gu Qiqiao's unexpected move caused two people, including her, to receive heavy losses.

"Ahh Gu Qiqiao wailed, holding the top of his head in severe pain and fell back to the ground.

The man snorted, turned around and silently pressed his forehead against the trunk of the tree beside him...... His eyes were hollow, and he seemed to be rolling his eyes.

"It hurts me." Gu Qiqiao controlled not to let tears flow out of his eyes, stood up and fired at the man in black robes. "Who ?!!are you who you dare to do a sneak attack?"

Man in black robe...... That's right, it was the night forgetfulness that Gu Yanran saw in the governor's courtyard earlier.

"My name is Night Forgotten, the man of the Netherworld." Ye Wangchen revealed his identity and turned to face Gu Qiqiao. "Your sister-in-law is in the Netherworld Mansion at the moment, I'm here to ......"

Before Ye Wangchen's words were finished, he saw Gu Qiqiao as if he had been hit by an indescribable impact, and his eyes closed and fell back.

……

###εΉ½ε†₯府, in a wing room in the West Charm Courtyard

On the finely carved bed, Gu Yanran, who had been asleep for nearly two hours due to drunkenness, lay down.

Suddenly, above Gu Yanran's closed eyes, her eyelashes, like a feather fan, trembled slightly.

The woman who was ordered to take care of Gu Yanran stayed by the bed, and when she saw that she was about to wake up, she turned around to serve the decanting soup simmering on the medicinal stove on the dining table behind her.

The woman placed the decanting soup at the head of the bed, and it happened to meet the scene of Gu Yanran opening her eyes and looking at it.

"The girl is awake?" The woman smiled slightly, picked up the decanting soup and sat on the side of the bed. "You shouldn't be drinking yet, get up and drink some decanting soup."

Gu Yanran sat up when she heard this, but she didn't drink the sobering soup, but looked at the woman a little defensively. "Who are you? Where is this? ”

Although she was drunk, she remembered clearly before she fell asleep...... It should be in the back alley of the new house with Gu Qiqiao.

The woman knew that Gu Yanran would inevitably have doubts when she woke up in a strange place, so she put down the sobering soup in her hand and said.

"The slave's name is Weiyang, and the master's family name is 'Night', and here's ...... It is the West Charm Temple in the Netherworld. ”

Netherworld, surnamed Night...... Gu Yanran was immediately taken aback when she thought of these two known pieces of information. "You mean this is the mansion of the Night Netherworld?"

Why did she run to the National Teacher's Mansion next door to her new house?

A trace of fear crossed Ye Weiyang's eyes, but he didn't expect that there would be a woman who dared to call her master's name.

"Girl, listen to the persuasion of the slave family, although the master is kind on weekdays...... But I don't like women to call him by his name, in order to avoid incurring unwarranted disasters for yourself, don't call him in front of outsiders or the master himself. ”

"Can't call?" Gu Yanran was puzzled. "I remember calling him like this in front of him at noon, and I didn't see anything disliked by him."

"......" Ye Weiyang breathed sluggishly, and then quickly concealed his feelings. In this way, the slave family is too talkative, so please forget what the slave family just said. ”

Gu Yanran saw that Ye Weiyang lowered her eyes and thought that her unintentional words hurt her, so she hurriedly waved her hand. "Oh no, no, no, don't say that.

If it weren't for your reminder, I wouldn't have known that the National Teacher didn't like others to call him famous, and today he may have let me go because he was in a good mood, in short, I will pay attention in the future, thank you, Weiyang. ”

Ye Weiyang smiled, didn't speak, and then handed the decanting soup to Gu Yanran. "Drink the decanting soup while it's hot, this is what the master personally ordered the stove to stew for you."

"Night ......," Gu Yanran realized that she had made a mistake, and immediately changed her words. What did the National Teacher order? ”

"Hmm." Ye Weiyang nodded.

Gu Yanran drank all the decanting soup in the bowl, and then asked Ye Weiyang. "May I ask why I ended up in the Netherworld? By the way, there are also tangrams...... Where's that little girl of mine? ”

"You fell drunk under the locust tree at the back door of our Netherworld Mansion, and it was the master who was worried that you would be contaminated with the wind and cold, so he personally hugged you tightly in the mansion.

As for your little girl, she fainted earlier, and now she is in the opposite room. ”

"Fainted ?!!" Gu Yanran lifted the brocade quilt on her body and got off the ground, and ran out of the house without even putting on her shoes.

"Hey, you haven't put on ...... yet" Before Ye Weiyang's words were finished, Gu Yanran's figure had disappeared from her sight. …… Shoes. ”

Ye Weiyang looked at the direction in which Gu Yanran disappeared, and then looked at the pair of satin shoes embroidered with gold silk peonies on the ground, so he had to bend down and take the shoes and chase them out.

However, it was already a step too late to chase him out at night.

Because Gu Yanran, who was only wearing a pair of cloth socks, was running out of the house, and was about to walk through the small flower garden to visit Gu Qiqiao in the opposite room......

Because he didn't pay attention to an abrupt pebble under his feet, he stepped on it.

"Ahh
