Chapter 19: Blood Collapse

"Could it be that she's the sweetheart of an adult? But why are you being locked up here? Just thinking about it, the sedan chair stopped, opened the curtain and looked, it turned out to be the room where he was just now.

"This service is good, I've only seen people carried to the door before, and you actually carried me into the house." Gui Longqin teased.

"The lord told his subordinates to take care of the girl, and if the girl minded, she would be carried to the door next time." One of the guards finally spoke.

"It turns out that you can speak, but I'm not so squeamish, the children of poor families are in good health, you don't have to deliberately accommodate me"

The guard didn't answer Gui Longqin's words, but just clasped his hands into fists and returned the salute and withdrew with the palanquin man.

There were only two people left in the room, her and Ziyan, and Gui Longqin couldn't help laughing anymore.

"They are so cute, they carried the sedan chair into the house because of the adult's words, but it's not fun to turn around, and I don't know how long I will stay here."

"If the master finds it boring, you can go up to the top of the attic to take a look, there is a starling raised by an adult, who can learn to speak, which is very interesting."

"There's this kind of fun stuff, then I'll have to check it out."

Along the stairs to the top of the attic, only to find that the air here is so fresh, looking at the whole courtyard in full view, pavilions, trees and flowers, everything, but such an exquisite place is surrounded by a small island surrounded by water, it seems that this adult is determined to lock her up here from being discovered.

"Hello, hello." Suddenly, there were several strange sounds.

Following the sound, Gui Longqin finally found the legendary talking starling in a purple birdcage.

"You're the talking bird, you're so pretty."

Gui Longqin greeted it excitedly, but the bird didn't seem to hear it, and turned away to ignore her.

"Hey, didn't you say you could speak, why didn't you move now?" Gui Longqin slapped the birdcage.

"Master, like a human, this bird needs to be fed before it has the spirit to talk to you."

Ziyan picked up the bird food on the table and teased the starling, but he didn't expect the bird to turn around obediently and say hello several times in a row.

"Hey, you bird bullies me too, but you're pitiful enough, locked in this cage like me, and I don't know when I'll get out, why don't I give you freedom today?"

As soon as the words fell, Gui Longqin opened the birdcage and released the starling.

"Go where you want to go, don't come back." Gui Longqin waved at the birds. The bird seemed to understand her, flapped its wings, and flew away.

In the next few days, Yiran was as calm as when she first came, and she lived a very well-behaved life every day, which made Gui Longqin's heart feel an unprecedented panic, and she was very worried that she would spend the rest of her life like a woman in the palace who was beaten into the cold palace.

"Master, come and see," Ziyan shouted upstairs.

"What's wrong?" Gui Longqin thought something was wrong, and rushed up to the attic. As a result, I saw Ziyan teasing the starling who flew away.

"Didn't I let you go, why did you come back again, couldn't you find your mother?" Gui Longqin touched its feathers, this touch didn't matter, but unexpectedly found that the bird's feet were tied with a bamboo tube the size of a small thumb, opened it and looked closely, there was a letter inside.

"Whoever you are, please be sure to save me out" Looking at the font is so beautiful, and the letter paper has a faint fragrance, most of the people who wrote the letter are women, but where is the person from this remote place asking for help, it is the one in the west attic.

"When will the old woman who sent supplies from Ziyan come again?"

"Today is the fifth day of the new year, and there is probably an hour before it comes, what are you going to do, master? I guess the one who really wants to save the West Loft. ”

"She's the only one here who knows the most about the adults, and if we can get in touch with her, we might be able to figure out a way to get out of here. You wait for the old woman to come and sprinkle this packet on her rouge, remember to be careful not to be discovered. Gui Longqin took out a packet of powder from the waist seal around his waist.

"Master, don't worry, Ziyan will naturally do it."

Sure enough, an hour later, the old woman arrived as promised, and Ziyan received the things in the east attic under the guard of the guards as usual.

"Mama, what does this thing smell so good?"

"This is the rouge prepared by the adults for the master of the West Attic, it is said that this small box will cost one or two gold, and the gold is very expensive."

"Didn't you say that the master of the West Attic couldn't get up when he was sick, what else do you want these things to do?"

"The girl doesn't dare to talk nonsense, this adult values the master of the West Attic the most, and he won't let her have anything to do."

"That's right, such a precious thing must be reserved for people with good lives, it's good for people like me who don't hurt anyone to smell it, can Mama let me take a look, and let me feast my eyes."

The old woman looked up at the guards around her, and didn't seem to have any intention of stopping her, so she agreed to Ziyan.

"Wow, you see this color is really beautiful, gentle and not cheesy, you can smell the fragrance through the box just now, and now it is even stronger when I open it, ah. What is that" Ziyan suddenly shouted, and the surrounding guards quickly surrounded him.

"What's the matter, girl?"

"There's a black thing just popping out of the grass over there, it's running so fast."

"It can't be a mouse, that thing bites people very well." The old woman was so frightened that she jumped to the side, not daring to move.

"Is everything alright?" asked the guard.

Ziyan pretended to check with the old woman, and quickly put the medicine into the rouge while the guards were not paying attention.

"It's fine, it's all intact."

"Since it's okay, you should hurry up and clean up, and don't delay any longer." The leading guard said.

Watching the guards put the rouge in the basket and send it to the west attic, Ziyan was relieved.

Gui Longqin, who was waiting in the east attic, was not idle, she wrote down the reaction and measures after using rouge on the letter, tied it to the starling's feet, and the bird was also very obedient, flapping its wings and flying to the west attic.

At night, Gui Longqin sat motionless on a recliner in the middle of the room, as if waiting for something very important.

"Master, why don't you just rest, if you go on like this, your body will be burned."

"Don't get in the way, wait, that pack of medicine is what I usually keep with me just in case, only the last pack, whether you and I can get out of here depends on tonight." Gui Longqin's heart seemed to be very sure that the medicine she had prepared would work.

Sure enough, after half an hour, the yard suddenly became noisy. Ziyan walked out and asked the guard.

"What's going on, did someone break in?"

"No, it was the master of the West Attic who suddenly collapsed, but the doctors in this courtyard are all men, and the master insists on not letting them in, and if it continues like this, it will really kill people."

"I've been practicing medicine with my father for many years since I was a child, but I've encountered the same situation, so why don't I try it." Gui Longqin walked out of the back room and replied.

"Here, the lord has instructed the two attic masters not to meet, I'm afraid it's not in accordance with the rules."

"Confused, you know that adults attach the most importance to the master of the West Attic, if you can't survive this time and lose your life, will you still be alive, if my master can save her life, you will also have merit at that time."

"Okay, come with me." The guards weighed it and finally agreed.

Trotting all the way and crossing the big iron gate that usually separates the two attics, Gui Longqin finally came to this mysterious west attic. Gently pushed open the door, only to see that the woman who was tied to her heart by the adult was lying on the bed at the moment.
