Chapter 151: Fear of heights
She was bent on favoring Wu Zixi, the master, and it was rare to meet such an opportunity to avenge Wu Zixi, and every palm of Zhaohua was firmly on the face of Old Madam Gu, leaving no room for anything, even if even her palms were filled with hot pain, Zhaohua still put every palm into practice.
……
"Ten."
Ten slap prints were quickly printed on Old Madam Gu's face, uneven, Zhaohua breathed a long sigh of relief, and took advantage of the situation to reveal what she said in her heart: "The county lord is the county lord in the end, no matter how restrained he is, it is not something that a person like you can bully wantonly!" Today is the fourth princess, otherwise, Old Madam Gu is now in the Punishment Division. ”
Old Madam Gu, who was sitting on the ground, didn't say a word, just glared at the three people in front of her with an extremely resentful gaze, she wanted to curse back, but Zhaohua's hand was too heavy, and she slapped her face so swollen and swollen that she couldn't even speak, let alone fight with others!
At this time, Old Madam Gu was indeed like a pig's head, but for herself, it was more like a boulder on top of her head, so she couldn't stand still, so she could only sit on the ground with a dizzy mind, and she couldn't even see a ghost when she saw Ye Qi and her party disappear from her sight.
"I'm just going to send you here, Zhaohua, do you still have similar clothes, lend me one time?"
Xiang Yeqi asked.
"Yes, yes, I'm afraid that the four princesses will dislike it."
As far as Zhaohua at this time is concerned, Xiang Yeqi gave her a chance to avenge Wu Zixi, which is no less than the kindness of her life, without saying a word, she began to rummage through the cabinets to find a clean dress for others, and handed it over: "Looking for it, it seems to be just such a piece, and it hasn't been worn yet!" ”
After thanking Ye Yu Tongzhao Hana, he went to change into the simple and simple maid costume, and handed over all his jewelry to Wu Zixi, leaving only a smooth bracelet.
Before leaving, Xiang Yeqi left Nan Chen together: "You stay here and watch the county lord of the Chang Dynasty, I will be in a while, if anything happens, you take the county lord of the Chang Dynasty to leave first." You can make a little noise then, and I'll sneak out when the time comes, and you can pick me up again. ”
"My subordinates understand." After the first few "cooperations", Nan Chen no longer doubted Xiang Yeqi's plan - he had nothing to doubt.
Xiang Yeqi held a small pot of flowers, wandered repeatedly at the moon gate outside the star-gazing tower, and finally waited for the purple-clothed woman who walked to the small courtyard with a bucket.
The purple-clothed mother-in-law saw that Xiang Yeqi had been wandering here for a while, and choked coldly: "I don't know how to do things, do I know where to carry this flower?" Hurry up, don't be lazy here. ”
"Yes."
Xiang Yeqi pretended to be afraid, and the woman walked to the courtyard with her front feet, and she followed with her back feet.
Before he had taken two steps, Xiang Yeqi fell to the ground with the flower pot in his arms, so frightened that the woman staggered a step, and half of the water in the bucket spilled out.
"Oops!"
The mother-in-law stomped her feet in shock, pointed to the night and scolded: "It's just to let you move the potted flowers, and you can't move the rope, what will I teach you in the future, can you do it?" It's really something that can't hold up the wall! ”
"Aunt Ning, what about training your subordinates again?"
The guards outside the stargazing tower began to look curiously as if they were watching the excitement.
The mother-in-law, who was called Aunt Ning, spat with disdain and said, "Now the girls in this house are becoming less and less smart!" ”
Xiang Yeqi cried silently, and very deliberately raised the hand that wore the bracelet and wiped his tears in front of Aunt Ning.
This one can't be wiped away, and it's rubbing on the tip of Aunt Ning's heart!
As soon as she grabbed Xiang Yeqi's wrist, she was shocked that it was a little abrupt, and let go a little, and asked in a low voice, "Where did you get this bracelet?" It couldn't have been stolen from the old lady, right? ”
"How so!" Xiang Yeqi was still crying, "This bracelet was given by the county lord of the Chang Dynasty before he left the house, how could it be that he stole the old lady!" ”
Aunt Ning's eyes rolled, and her reaction was a little slow, but the movements in her hands were sharp and sharp. She pretended to hold Xiang Yeqi in style, to help people get up, but Xiang Yeqi was not careful, and the bracelet on her wrist was taken away by this Aunt Ning and put on her wrist.
"You're ......"
"You're a handyman, and you deserve to wear such a good thing?"
Aunt Ning was actually in a righteous posture, and even wanted to bite back at the night: "The master has rewarded something, so you have to report it to the house, you can also get this thing?" This thing was given to me by the county lord of the Changchao Dynasty. It's really too difficult to let a girl carry flower pots, just that, you will rest here today, and I will take you away later, do you remember? ”
"Remembered."
Xiang Yeqi pretended to touch his tears twice, and nodded obediently under Aunt Ning's gaze.
After all, in Aunt Ning's eyes, she is a "slave maid", how can she wear such a good thing, and it is already a great gift to let Xiang Yeqi be lazy here with great mercy, what is it to accept her a bracelet?
Aunt Ning snatched a baby from Xiang Yeqi's hand, smiled so much that she couldn't even close her mouth, and walked into the study building with a bucket.
After a while, he patted the dust on his clothes to Yeqi, walked to the guard, and smiled softly: "I came with Aunt Ning. ”
The guard was still hesitating, and said to Yeqi: "Although I did something wrong just now, Aunt Ning also reprimanded me twice, but Aunt Ning is still very good to me, let her clean such a big study building by herself, I can't bear it, I am a little unbearable, I am tired of the two of you to let go, I will go after Aunt Ning now." ”
The two guards looked at Xiang Yeqi seriously, and what they said to her was naturally to see it with their own eyes, after all, Aunt Ning, who had always been fierce and vicious, personally helped people up, which showed that they "loved" her.
But the guard said, "We only recognize the token." ”
"When Aunt Ning went in just now, you didn't ask her for a token, did you?" Xiang Yeqi groped for his sleeve decently.
Before there was a big move, the guard argued for himself: "Aunt Ning comes every day, and a face like you is naturally different, if you really don't have a token, please ask Aunt Ning to come out and pick you up." ”
"Who said I don't have a token? I have. ”
Xiang Yeqi took out the token stolen from Aunt Ning's waist from his sleeve and handed it to the two guards.
The two of them were a little credulous about Xiang Yeqi, the reason was nothing more than Aunt Ning's unique attitude towards Xiang Yeqi, if to them, it was like Aunt Ning was cultivating a "successor", and now they had handed over the token to her for safekeeping, what did they have to doubt.
Therefore, the attitude of the two improved: "Go in." ”
Xiang Yeqi nodded politely, and passed between the two, and the huge study building turned out to be a dark scene, and even the lights were scarce.
She had to lift an oil lamp from the side and peer at the staircase that seemed to have no end in sight.
I don't know how long I walked, I finally arrived at the top floor of the stargazing tower, after ascending the stairs, the first thing that came into my eyes was a small viewing platform, if the long star was bright, when I could glimpse a touch of the sky here, I could see the leisurely Shengjing, the sunset was half set at this time, and it was not interesting.
But Xiang Yeqi felt that Gu Yanchao had made such a big effort, it was impossible for him to have a few elegant scenery to watch when he read the letter.
Sure enough, he walked to the end of the corridor and found an extremely hidden study.
Xiang Yeqi didn't dare to delay, and hurried to the study, otherwise when Aunt Ning finished cleaning and walked out of the study, she would definitely be exposed.
Probably because Gu Yanchao didn't expect someone to be so bold, he didn't put a lock on the study, or left some guards to guard, and opened the door of the study with a gentle push to the night.
The small kerosene lamp in his hand is the best in such a small space, only one can illuminate most of the surrounding scenery, Xiang Yeqi held his breath nervously, and rummaged between Gu Yanchao's desks.
"Boom."
Xiang Yeqi accidentally bumped into the corner of the table, and the wound on his forehead was innocuous and itchy, but there was no doubt that Xiang Yeqi also knocked down a small box, and a stack of letters that had been opened fell out.
After a brief review, most of them were Hu people who did not understand Xiang Yeyan, but the title of the payment was the mother consistent with the Chinese Chinese dialect.
This makes Xiang Yeqian a little strange, Old Madam Gu and Gu Yanchao are also in the Gu Mansion, why write a letter? Besides, it's still in the script of the Hu people.
Xiang Yeqi began to doubt the identity of Fang Cai, the "Old Lady Gu".
But with these letters in his hand, Xiang Yeqi is very sure that these are ordinary stacks of family letters, otherwise with Gu Yanchao's suspicious nature, the letters that have been opened will never be left until now, unless they are of special significance.
After fumbling in the bookcase for a while, Xiang Yeqi finally found a few letters sandwiched in the book, unopened and new.
After a few simple glances, Xiang Yeqi confirmed the queen's guess - Gu Yanchao was not a traitor to the enemy at all.
He is the Hu man who infiltrated Huaguo!
"Girl? What girl? ”
Aunt Ning's voice suddenly came from downstairs.
"When will you see that I'm here with a girl today? It's just nonsense, I forgot to bring out that token today. The adults will be back soon, how dare I neglect the errand in hand! Like you, you are lazy all day long. ”
Oops!
Xiang Yeqi never thought that Aunt Ning's hands and feet would be so sharp, and before she could investigate anything, Aunt Ning had already cleaned the Good Hope Star Tower! Although these letters were enough to indicate Gu Yanchao's identity, he could have found out more.
At the very least, you can escape from the Wangxing Tower one step ahead of Aunt Ning.
With a horizontal heart, he pushed open the window of the study to the night, and the direction facing this window was the outer wall of the Gu Mansion, which was opposite to the entrance of the Wangxing Tower.
But this height is ......
