Chapter 59: The Long Night is Silent
After the killers left, a woman's scream came from the back house of the Gu Mansion, which seemed a little infiltrating in the long silent night.
In the courtyard, the maid Peihuan looked at the man who fell asleep in front of her with a panicked face, and the lamp and candle in her hand fell to the ground, almost burning the dead leaves on the ground.
She just got up all night, how could she see such a thrilling scene?
A man, covered in wounds, collapsed outside the courtyard of the second lady, unconscious?
Peihuan is a rough maid in the backyard, and she is young, so she naturally doesn't know that the man who fell to the ground now is the famous His Royal Highness King Shu Lu Chengxiu, who just said whose son was retaliated by the enemy and fled here, or which Jianghu ranger passed through here.
In the end, Peihuan didn't care about the Venerable Master's three urgencies, but ran towards Tingyuntang.
"Madam, something is wrong!"
Peihuan was bullied in the mansion in the past, and she had the help of Yunqi, so she was more kind to the second lady, but today, everyone in the mansion knew that the second lady had not returned to the house for two days, so Peihuan went to find the He family as soon as possible.
It's almost time.
The candle flame that had been extinguished for a long time in Tingyun Hall was lit again, and it became the brightest courtyard in Bianliang City at this time.
Peihuan waited anxiously in the courtyard, and he was too panicked to check on the man's injuries and what to do if he died.
Through the thin curtain, you can see the figure inside.
Mrs. Ho had already gotten up.
But everyone who listened to Yuntang knew that Madame was forced to quarrel with the rough maid outside, so Madame was not in a good mood.
The He family attaches great importance to her own prestige, as long as the Holy Lord does not come to the Gu Mansion in person, all the big things have to be ranked after she finishes washing.
It's no wonder that she has a big shelf, now that it is eventful, Gu Jiangyuan alone can indeed resist the military generals of Wenchen in the court, her son is a young and promising young general, and her daughter has made a marriage with His Royal Highness King Xian early, and if she can't guarantee that she can ascend to the queen's throne in the future, the He family is naturally satisfied.
In the house, Mrs. Liu dozed off to comb He's hair, Mrs. Hair is rich and difficult to comb, after combing the bun, you have to choose the crown of He's hair one by one, and after combing the hairband and jewelry, and wearing the clothes and powder, it has been half an hour.
If there were no autumn rains, the sky would have been white.
He took a lazy sip of morning tea, and then asked: "What is a man coming in the backyard, is it restrained?" ”
Mrs. Liu bowed down and replied: "It was said that the person fainted in the backyard of our house, and there were still injuries on his body, and the old slave had already sent the guards of the house to check." ”
He Shi frowned, feeling that this matter did not seem to be a trivial matter, so he got up and ordered: "You come with me to take a look, don't alarm the old lady, and don't tell Xiang'er, so as not to scare her." ”
Mrs. Liu and a few maids hurriedly responded, and He went out of the house.
Under the eaves outside, the legs of the wearing ring and others were sore.
"Is it your business?"
He's voice came from his ears, and Peihuan was frightened and quickly replied, "Yes." ”
He stroked the beads on his head, and the tail note was long: "Lead the way." ”
Peihuan bowed and hurriedly took the He family to the evening window pavilion.
The sky seemed a little dim on a rainy day, because the lady got up early, the candlesticks on Gufu Road were lit up, and the road ahead could be seen clearly along the way, but the rainy day was a little troublesome.
Mrs. Liu walked behind with an umbrella for He's family, and wore a ring without holding an umbrella, so she was drenched in the rain in front of He to lead the way, but fortunately, although the autumn rain has not stopped in the past two days, it has not rained much.
After walking the tea kung fu, we arrived at the path leading to the evening window pavilion.
He Shi frowned, she thought that the backyard that Peihuan was talking about was referring to the back garden of Gu's house or a place in the back lake, how could it be in the evening window pavilion, I'm afraid it wasn't Gu Jin's private meeting with some man, right?
"Why is it in the Evening Window Pavilion?" Mrs. Liu saw He's doubts and asked Peihuan before He spoke.
Peihuan's face wrinkled into the color of bitter melon, how did she know why she was in the evening window pavilion, she was just getting up all night!
But Mrs. Liu asked, and she couldn't help but reply.
"Return, Mrs. Hui, not in the evening window pavilion, just under the courtyard wall."
He Shi was unmoved when she heard this, in her opinion, it was related to Gu Jin.
After walking a few steps, you can vaguely see the guards holding torches in front of you.
It was raining, and the torch would be easily extinguished by the rain, but in order to see the man clearly, the guards of the Gu Mansion still reluctantly lit the torch.
Looking at it from a distance, I saw that the guards were surrounded by the courtyard wall, and one person was lying on the ground, which was not the same as He imagined.
He snorted coldly: "Who has such courage that even the courtyard wall of my Gu Mansion dares to over!" ”
One of the guards frowned and hesitated, "Madam, this seems to be ......"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by He Shi again: "Do you think that our general is far away in Shuobei, and this Gu family is easy to bully, when I find out your identity, I will definitely sue you for an offense!" ”
Before He finished speaking, he was worried that the person on the ground would hurt her again if he didn't faint, so he didn't dare to get too close.
"Ma'am, this seems to be ......"
"Seems like what?" He rolled his eyes.
"It seems to be His Royal Highness King Shu!"
