Chapter 68: Honesty
Gu Huanyi was originally suffering from a cold at night, but when she saw that the Qingming Festival was approaching, she still didn't have any news of her brother, so she was too anxious, and under the internal and external attacks, she actually launched a high fever.
She didn't get better even after burning for a few days, and Mama Miao stayed by the bedside and didn't allow her to go out again, but she had to go to find Cheng Zhi, and the master and servant argued.
Gu Huanyi said stubbornly: "I'm just cold and feverish, and it's not a bad disease, why can't I go out?" I went to see the master and went back, and the carriage went back and forth, very quickly. ”
Mama Miao said anxiously: "You get out of bed and walk all the way, where do you want to go?" You have to go to see General Cheng every day, where do you have so much to say, what can you do if you don't go for a day, take care of your body first! A few days later is the Qingming Festival ancestor worship ceremony, how can you go to worship your ancestors like this? ”
"She's like this, she doesn't have to go anywhere!"
The master and servant didn't pay attention to the outsiders in the house, and followed the reputation, it turned out to be Li Congxin who suddenly arrived in Liangzhou!
Mama Miao saw the savior, and leaned in front of Li Congxin and said: "It's so good that you are here, I can't persuade Miss, you can take care of her!" ”
Li Congxin nodded, asked Mama Miao to step back, and walked into the house with a cold face.
Gu Huanyi was shocked and didn't come to his senses, until the person walked up, he stammered and asked, "You, why are you here?" ”
In a few days, Li Congxin wants to preside over the sacrifice of the clan, which must not be absent.
Li Congxin didn't speak, reached out and touched her forehead, and it was really hot!
Gu Huanyi was inexplicably weak-hearted, and couldn't wait to say, "It's just a small illness with a headache and brain fever, it's fine." The spring cold is precipitous, I didn't pay attention to it for a while, it must have been Uncle Liu who made a fuss and wrote to tell you. ”
Li Congxin sat on the edge of the bed, looked directly at her and asked, "I asked Lang Zhong outside, and he said that your liver is depressed and uncomfortable, and you are so anxious that you can't sleep and eat, and the evil wind is hard to drive, is this just a cold spring?" ”
Gu Huanyi concealed: "Since the sacrifice day, I have always dreamed, and I really haven't slept well. ”
Li Congxin sighed, she clearly had something to hide from him.
He didn't want to force her, the most important thing at the moment was to cure the disease and take care of her body, and talk about it later.
With Li Congxin guarding, Gu Huanyi didn't dare to mention going out again, and after obediently drinking the medicine, he was on bed rest.
Li Congxin watched her drink medicine and leave the room after falling asleep, and called Liu Pei and said, "I ordered you to protect her, although it is not intended to be monitored, but if she is abnormal, how can you not mention it?" What happened to her since she returned to Liangzhou, you told me as it was. ”
"It's a dereliction of duty on the part of a subordinate." Liu Pei confessed to the crime, and then reported them one by one.
Li Congxin was very surprised when he heard that Gu Huanyi had talked to the princess of Beiyi alone!
Li Congxin had heard about the fact that the prince of Beiyi was going to come to Liangzhou to pay respects, but he specially took care of the Ministry of Rites to stagger the day of Beiyi's memorial with the day of Gu Huanyi's sacrifice.
After that, Liu Pei didn't mention this to him, and he thought that Gu Huanyi didn't collide head-on with the Beiyi people.
He frowned tightly, Gu Huanyi not only met the princess of Beiyi, but also talked privately, and then met with Cheng Zhi every day......
There's clearly something to do with that.
What does she want to do to the Beiyi people?
"What has Cheng Zhi done recently?" Li Congxin asked.
Liu Pei said: "General Cheng has frequent contacts with Qi Da of the Horse Gang. ”
Li Congxin estimated that Gu Huanyi was asking about something in Beiyi, but why didn't she tell herself?
Just asked Liu Pei, Li Congxin couldn't ask anything more detailed, so he sent the little servant Hu Shen to go to the horse gang.
And Li Congxin accompanied Gu Huanyi to recuperate, and did not take the initiative to mention anything.
Gu Huanyi looked at Li Congxin who was not in a hurry to return to Beijing, and was a little anxious.
After dinner, she persuaded Li Congxin: "Shizi, my health is really fine, you can go back to the capital quickly, the matter of worshipping ancestors in the clan is not a joke, you can't be absent like this." ”
Li Congxin looked at her worriedly and said, "But how can I feel at ease to go back to the capital with your appearance?" When you left Beijing, you promised me to come back with all your beard and tail, but if I hadn't come to you, would you have returned to me safe and sound? ”
Hearing that there was something in his words, Gu Huanyi seemed to have done something wrong and was discovered, and he was inexplicably empty-hearted.
She lowered her head, knowing that Li Congxin had come from the capital specially and must have noticed something.
If he really wanted to investigate her, what she was going to do in Liangzhou couldn't be concealed at all, even if she had found out, it was better to tell her calmly.
"Actually...... On the day of the festival, the princess of Beiyi, Wanyan Zhen, came to me. ”
Li Congxin finally waited for her to speak and asked, "What did she tell you?" What do you want to do? Why did you keep it from me? ”
Gu Huanyi looked up at him and saw that he looked unhappy, and somehow, tears rolled out uncontrollably.
In the past half a month, when she thought that her brother might fall into the hands of the Beiyi people, she couldn't sleep and eat, but she had nothing to do, and she didn't find out any real news.
And she didn't dare to tell Li Congxin, for fear that this was Li Chengxu and Wanyan's real plan, and if Li Congxin was lured into the game, she would get into trouble; Second, I was afraid that he would be angry if he knew about "harmony".
During this period, she endured all kinds of hesitation, hesitation, and uneasiness, and endured it alone.
As soon as she was forced to ask by Li Congxin today, she couldn't control her emotions.
As soon as Li Congxin saw Gu Huanyi crying, his face softened, he hugged her into his arms, and coaxed: "I didn't say anything to you, why did you cry?" Tell me what is going on. ”
Gu Huanyi sobbed and said, "Wanyan really said...... My brother is still alive, and the people are in her hands! ”
Li Congxin was particularly shocked.
At least in his previous life, he had not heard of Gu Jiayi's "resurrection from the dead".
Li Congxin asked calmly: "Regardless of whether the news is true or not, what is the purpose of her telling you this?" What conditions were proposed? ”
Gu Huanyi covered his mouth with a handkerchief, looked at Li Congxin with tears in his eyes, and stopped talking.
Li Congxin raised his eyebrows and asked, "What conditions did you put forward?" ”
Gu Huanyi whispered: "She wants me to marry Beiyi and ......make peace with them in the name of the Gu family."
No wonder!
It seems that this is the reason why she is hiding it from herself.
Li let go of Gu Huanyi in his heart and turned his back angrily.
"It seems that you have considered agreeing to this condition!"
Gu Huanyi said aggrievedly: "No...... I just want to find out if this news is true or false first......"
Li Congxin turned around and asked, "What if it's true?" If she threatens your brother's life, are you really going to get married? ”
His voice was a little loud, so frightened that Gu Huanyi's tears that had just stopped flowed down again.
"I didn't! I'm not stupid, she put forward such strange conditions, what's important about me, I have to marry her? She's not up to me, I just haven't figured out what she's going to do......"
Li Congxin took a few deep breaths, calmed down, strode up to Gu Huanyi, and hugged her tightly.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have killed you, but Huanyi, you should understand my sadness and apprehension!"
