Chapter 38: A Mysterious Death

When she woke up the next morning, Xia Chutao felt that her world had exploded.

The position next to him was still empty, and Fu Rin had already gotten up and gone out as always.

When her mind cleared up a little, Xia Chutao was stunned and looked at the barrage frantically swiping the screen, she calmed down, and saw that the barrage said everything about last night.

"Little Peach, are you awake?"

"How does the general feel?"

"I'm such a sour little peach.... My love ended before it even began. ”

Xia Chutao looked at this, and suddenly realized that last night's incident was not a dream.... It's all true, thinking of this, Xia Chutao's face suddenly turned red.

"You.... You don't see everything, do you? ”

She was more worried about whether she had staged an indescribable scene for her fans if it was true. So after hearing fans say that the platform has a black screen with its own health system, Xia Chutao's heart is a lot more relieved.

Xia Chutao couldn't help but think: I didn't expect this garbage platform to do a good job in these aspects.

Xia Chutao can still feel some soreness in his body, but because his consciousness was really blurry last night, Xia Chutao can't remember some specific things no matter what he thinks.

But even so, Xia Chutao still felt a little fluttery in his heart, and he always felt that it was unreal.

Just as Xia Chutao was still pondering, Cuiyan came in with a basin of water, and when she saw Xia Chutao sitting up, Cuiyan's heart didn't mention how happy she was.

"Little lady, are you awake?"

Cui Yan happily put the basin on the shelf on the side, happily came to the front of Xia Chu Tao, and said with some grievances,

"I was scared to see my little lady last night."

Xia Chutao didn't remember what she was like last night, looking at Cui Yan so worried about herself, Xia Chutao smiled and reassured,

"Isn't it okay for me, silly girl, don't think about it."

Cui Yan happily waited for Xia Chutao to get up, and after she finished dressing up Xia Chutao, Cui Yan said,

"By the way, little lady, I heard that the general rewarded the emperor with some new satin patterns earlier this morning, all of which were sent from the southern weaving side. The general said that he would send them to you. ”

Cui Yan didn't say how proud she was when she said this, who doesn't want their master to be taken seriously?

Fu Rin has been staying like a guest in spring, and the peach of the beginning of summer like this is really the first one.

Xia Chutao was also happy when she heard it, it seems that Fu Rin has always remembered that she likes to cut new clothes.

"It's fine." At the beginning of summer, the peach showed a satisfied smile, with a little pride. "Seeing that it's about to enter autumn, it's not bad to cut a few new clothes to wear."

"Yes, I also think about it for my little lady." Cui Yan was busy with the way, "Then the maid will go down to the treasury and bring it to Xiao Niang, Xiao Niang, you are so picky and then send it to the tailor for you." ”

"Go ahead."

Sent away the green smoke, Xia Chutao yawned and stretched his waist to the table, looked at a few koi fish in the porcelain jar on the table, grabbed some food and threw it in.

The koi fish grabbed the food, and the tank suddenly became lively and sparkling.

And Cui Yan, who took the satin from the treasury, walked back happily holding the satin, thinking:

If I go faster, the little lady will definitely be very happy to see these delicate and beautiful satins.

Thinking of this, Cuiyan chose a path that no one usually walks, but it is much faster to go to Shenlian Pavilion here than those smooth roads.

The General's Mansion was originally renovated many times, and some of the old mansions that were uninhabited in the past were abandoned here. That's why it's so deserted, and no one usually passes by here.

But in order to be able to see these satins quickly for Xia Chutao, Cui Yan couldn't care so much, so she jumped back with the satin in her arms.

"What?! Zhao Yong was arrested? Where did you go?! ”

"Small.... I don't know. ”

"Useless stuff! I thought I could completely drive out the slut of Xia Chutao this time! As a result, you can even get it back from the brothel! ”

Just as Cui Yan was walking, he seemed to hear someone talking behind the old grassy rockery.

Cui Yan's ears were smart, and he immediately heard the name that seemed to mention his little lady. She felt strange that someone would discuss the affairs of her master in such an old East Garden, so she cautiously went in the direction of the sound.

She only poked out half of her head, but she could already see the two people who were talking.

It's actually broken jade and a strange man!

This man's face was very raw, and Cui Yan concluded that he was definitely not from the mansion.

As the general's concubine, she met with the man outside the mansion privately in the unmanned Dongyuan, and Cui Yan felt that if she reported this matter, it would be enough to eat a pot of broken jade.

"No, this early summer peach is a thorn in the flesh, and it will be a scourge if it is not removed for a day."

Broken Jade probably hated Xia Chutao, and his tone was fierce, and even his eyes were full of fierce light.

"What does the little lady want to do?"

The man asked tentatively, cautiously.

"Be thorough this time." Broken Jade touched his chin and pondered for a moment before he said, "In a few days, someone will take you into the mansion and find a way to insert you next to the slut in Shenlian Pavilion." ”

Thinking about it, Broken Jade also took out a packet of medicine-like things and stuffed it into the man's hand, and instructed,

"When the time comes, you can add some of this medicine to her diet every day, you can't see it for a day or two, but sooner or later you can drag down this slut's body, and then the death will be extremely ugly!"

When Cui Yan heard this sentence of broken jade, she was directly frightened and gasped, and the whole person couldn't help but take a step back, which Cheng wanted to kick a stone at his feet, and made a big noise.

Cui Yan's heart suddenly chuckled, she was very scared, knowing that she had been exposed, she immediately hugged the satin and stayed away from here.

"Who's there!"

The sharp-eyed broken jade saw the water-green clothes of the maid flashing behind the rockery at a glance, and hurriedly urged the man beside him,

"Go! If she runs away, you and I won't survive! ”

The man naturally understood what he meant, and immediately chased him out.

Xia Chutao was lying on the window bored, she had been waiting for Cui Yan to get back the satin of the roll tailoring, but it was already afternoon....

It's been too long, right? Can't get a few pieces of satin back in half a day?

Just when Xia Chutao was puzzled, it happened that she saw Bizhu come in with a narcissus that had been exchanged for water, and Xia Chutao hurriedly stopped Bizhu.

"Bizhu, have you seen Cui Yan?"

Bizhu, who had just put the vase down, blinked and looked at Xia Chutao, obviously not understanding what it meant.

"Little lady.... Cuiyan wasn't in the house for a day today, and we all thought you were supporting her to do something. ”

"I did tell her to go to the mansion for the satin, but the matter of a few satins won't be gone for that long, right?"

Xia Chutao felt very strange, and when she heard what Bizhu said, a trace of uneasiness rose in Xia Chutao's heart.

"Cuiyan, didn't she really come back?"

"No...."Bizhu shook her head, looking at Xia Chutao's worried look very helpless, "Does the little lady think that something happened to Cui Yan?" ”

"There are only a few places where the girls in the house can go back and forth, how can it take so long."

At the beginning of the summer, the more Tao thought in his heart, but he felt that something was wrong, and immediately said to Bizhu,

"Bizhu, hurry up and let them find someone."

"Okay."

Bizhu has been working with Cuiyan for so long, and after feeling a little wrong here at the beginning of Xia, she immediately went to find someone.

A large group of people searched back and forth in the general's mansion for a long time, and Xia Chutao fidgeted in his room and waited for news.

Finally waited for Qiaoyun to come in with a solemn face, Xia Chutao asked nervously,

"Is there any news from Cuiyan?"

"Little lady, mourning." That Qiaoyun gave Xia Chutao a formal salute, and his tone was also very heavy.

"Condolences? What is the mourning? ”

Xia Chutao doesn't understand, what does this festival mean? Why did she mourn? Or is it that Cui Yan really had an accident?

"Cuiyan found it, found it in Dongyuan." Qiaoyun lowered her eyes, she couldn't see the emotion in her eyes clearly, and her tone was very heavy and steady. "It is said that Cuiyan fell down when he passed the Lion Bridge in Dongyuan..."

"How is it possible...."Xia Chutao couldn't accept the news, and was still chattering in front of him in the morning, and the bouncing person said that it was gone?

Xia Chu Tao only felt that this matter was simply unreal...

East Garden?

In addition to the shock, Xia Chutao also felt strange,

"Isn't the East Garden abandoned a long time ago? Why did Cui Yan go over there to get a satin? ”

Dongyuan still used to wander around there at the beginning of summer when Tao was bored, after all, it was indeed quite close to Shenlian Pavilion.

But that Lion Bridge ....

Because it has been uninhabited for many years, there has long been no water under the Lion Bridge. That piece is artificially landscaped, and all the rockeries under the Lion Bridge are strange rocks.....

Xia Chutao covered her mouth in fear, a little overwhelmed. She didn't understand why Cuiyan had to walk over there, and she didn't know why she fell off the Lion Bridge, which was in disrepair but the guardrails were still sturdy, and it was impossible to fall like this....

"Emerald Smoke ....."

Xia Chutao even felt that she had hurt this girl for a moment, and the self-blame and guilt in her heart suddenly spread to her whole body.

Although she has not been with Cuiyan's master and servant for a long time, this girl is the most sincere to her, but the result is such an end....

Xia Chutao only felt that there was a flower in front of him, and he almost didn't stand firm, and Qiaoyun on the side immediately supported Xia Chutao with a worried face.

"Little lady, be careful."
