Chapter 491 Where did you come back from
That's good, I see that the emperor treats you very carefully. "Lu Xuedao, although Beitang Jinyu is very indifferent, but in front of Gao Wei Lake, there is only a gentle and tender feeling.
Gao Weihu and Lu Xue talked a lot more considerately, and only when it was twilight did Gao Weihu get up and leave.
She looked at the sky, thinking in her heart that she had been in the Lu Mansion for an afternoon, Beitang Jinyu shouldn't be angry, right?
It's okay if she's angry, but she still has something to talk to him about.
She was walking on the road, and suddenly Xiao Chu and Lu Yao came head-on, Lu Yao lowered her head and pursed her lips tightly, she was unhappy at first glance, Gao Weihu walked up and asked, "General, Yaoyao, where did you come back from?" ”
"The Mansion." Xiao Chu said: "I'll send her back." ”
Lu Yao, who had been silent, suddenly stretched out his hand and tugged at his sleeve and said, "I don't want to go back to the house, can you accompany me to the teahouse to drink tea?" ”
Xiao Chu looked at the gradually sinking sky and said, "It's getting late, you should go back to the house for dinner, otherwise your parents should be worried." ”
Lu Yao's hand pulling at his sleeve slowly let go, and his eyes were full of loss and said, "That'...... I'll go back first. She hung her head and walked straight forward, without looking at the road, she almost fell several times, Xiao Chu's hand that he originally wanted to hold stopped in place, and he paused for a long time before retracting it.
"Let's go." He said, with a sigh.
Gao Weihu looked at him with a somewhat lost look, opened his lips but couldn't say a word, only a silent sigh in the middle of the sound.
Gao Weihu had no intention of arguing with him, but he was really aggressive in his speech, and Gao Weihu simply said: "I just think that you are really a little inappropriate in this matter, and how will everyone talk about you when it spreads." ”
There is a crazy woman in the general's mansion, and it is another storm when it spreads.
"Why am I afraid of outsiders, I ask you, if that jade design seduces me, you are indifferent and feel that you have wronged him?" Beitang Jinyu asked, looking closely at Gaowei Lake with a cold gaze.
Gao Yuhu sneered and said: "If that Zhang Yuqing in Water City made a mistake worse than Liuyu, but he is still unscathed, if he talks about seduction, Liuyu will not do such a thing as an aphrodisiac?" ”
"Your Majesty, the frontier is urgent." A guard hurriedly ran in and said, saying that a letter was handed to Beitang Jinyu, Beitang Jinyu opened the letter and looked at it, his face sank a little more and he got up and said to the guard: "Go and pass General Xiao, I will wait for him in the study." ”
The guard was ordered to leave, and Beitang Jinyu paused as he walked across Gaowei Lake, and without saying a word, he brushed his sleeves and headed towards the study.
The maid came in with tea, looked at Gao Weihu and looked not very good, and asked in a low voice: "Girl, why do you bother to be angry with the emperor, it's not worth it to hurt the harmony between you for the sake of a jade." ”
Gao Weihu took a sip of the tea, and sighed slightly: "How could I have thought so." ”
It's just that Beitang Jinyu has always been a clean and neat person, why do you want to torture Liuyu like this, he has his reasons, but he refuses to tell himself, if he doesn't provoke him, how can he know.
Gao Weihu suddenly coughed, and the maid hurriedly took a cloak and put it on for her: "Girl, it's late and the night wind is up, it's not good to catch a cold, go back to the house and rest early." ”
She nodded, and walked around the room with the help of the maidservant, and she sat on the warm couch and looked out the window at the dark night, thinking a lot.
There was only one candle in the room, which was a little dim, and the servants had all retreated one by one, and the room was silent and dull.
There were still screams in the garden where Liuyu was, and Gao Weihu felt more and more upset.
I don't know how long it took, the voice gradually listened, the night was silent, there was a sound of footsteps at the door, Gao Weihu thought it was Beitang Jinyu came back and looked at it slightly, but it was a maidservant's voice coming: "Miss Gao, do you want some snacks?" ”
"No need, I'm going to rest." Gao Weihu said lightly, then blew out the last candle, lifted the bed curtain and lay down, the maid stood at the door for a while before leaving, as if she was probing the movement inside.
Although Gao Weihu was bored and had no sleep, he couldn't hold it back after lying down for most of the day, so he fell asleep groggy.
This sleep Gao Weihu but sleep very unsteadily, always faintly feel that something bad is going to happen, sleep in the middle of the night, suddenly woke up from the dream, she looked sideways, Beitang Jinyu has not come back, or...... Let's stay somewhere else.
Feeling a little headache, Gao Weihu lifted the brocade quilt and got out of bed, the moonlight outside the window was a little bright, but it was not very dark, she poured a cup of tea and suddenly caught a glimpse of the guard standing at the gate of the garden.
She frowned, when did the guards come from this garden?
The tea was cold, and she felt even more cold in her mouth, so she put down the teacup and went out.
The maid who was waiting outside heard the movement of Gaowei Lake in the house, and just wanted to ask out loud, but she didn't expect the door to be opened.
"Miss Gao, it's not dawn yet, why did you get up?" The servant girl asked in a low voice, holding Gao Wei Lake in her arms.
"I got up and walked when I didn't feel comfortable sleeping, I saw that there were a few more guards at the gate of the garden, who sent them?" Gao Weihu asked casually, and the maid hesitated and said, "Yes...... The emperor sent them, and ordered them to keep them. ”
"Why?" Gao Weihu frowned, she suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart, she was about to walk towards the gate of the garden, and the maid hurriedly knelt down and said, "Miss Gao, don't go over." ”
Gao Weihu looked at the maid, she trembled and said, "It's the emperor...... The emperor sent him, saying that he wanted to guard the girl, and he couldn't leave the garden these days. ”
Gao Weihu frowned, and said in a deep voice: "You say, the emperor sent someone to guard me?" ”
The maid nodded, and hurriedly reassured Gao Weihu and said: "Miss Gao, the city in Jiangnan has not been peaceful these days, and assassins have appeared repeatedly, presumably the emperor is also worried about you, girl." ”
Gao Yuhu sneered, and said with mockery: "Then he is too worried about himself." ”
She turned and walked into the room and closed the door, the stuffiness in her stomach nowhere to go, and she took several deep breaths before it gradually subsided.
Isn't it enough to imprison her before?
She lit all the lamps in the room, and then sat down at the small table, and imprisoned it, anyway, it was not the first time it had been like this, in the palace before, the iron chain in the Qifeng Palace was much more painful than now.
"Miss Gao, you ...... Hungry? The maidservant outside the door asked cautiously, and Gao Weihu replied indifferently: "No need, let's make a pot of tea." ”
The maidservant hurriedly retreated, and Gao Weihu took out the book from the side to see that the candle in the room was burning, and it was just burned to the end at dawn.
In the second half of the night, Gao Weihu had been sitting quietly reading a book, and the maids waiting outside were very worried, for fear that Miss Gao would have a conflict with the emperor and sulk.
There was no movement in the room immediately, and just as Lu Xue was about to call again, Lu Yao's voice came from the room: "Sister, come in." ”
Lu Xue hurriedly pushed the door in, with concern in her eyes, only to see Lu Yao lying on the bed, staring at the top blankly, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Hungry or not? I'll have breakfast brought to me. Lu Xue was about to go and order her subordinates, but Lu Yao stopped her: "Sister, I'm not hungry." ”
Lu Xue turned to look at her, only to see her eyelashes flutter slightly, and said in a low voice, "I'm uncomfortable." ”
Before the words fell, tears fell.
Lu Xue sat down on the edge of the bed, carefully wiped her tears with a brocade and said, "Sister understands, but this matter cannot be changed, General Xiao is a minister of the DPRK and China, how can he stay in Jiangnan for the rest of his life." ”
"But......" Lu Yao lowered his eyes and said, "He can't stay, and he won't let me go with him." ”
"If you leave, your parents should be worried, General Xiao is a rational and thoughtful person, how could he let you be like this." And there is no name between her and Xiao Chu, if she follows her to the capital, she will also be discredited.
Lu Yao's tears kept rolling down, and he said angrily and helplessly: "Then what should I do?" Do you want me to watch him go? ”
"Yaoyao." Lu Xue doesn't know how to consol, emotional things have always been warm and cold.
"I'm going to the General's Mansion in a while, do you want to go together?" Lu Xue asked, Lu Yao's eyes lit up and quickly dimmed, she shook her head and said, "Presumably he doesn't want to see me, I still don't go, I don't have to deceive myself." ”
"Do you have to go to the General's Mansion to see General Xiao? Miss Gao left on the same day as General Xiao, don't you really want to say goodbye? Lu Xue gently stroked Lu Yao's long hair and sighed: "It's a long way to go to the capital, if you want to meet them again, Yaoyao, don't be rash." ”
Lu Yao thought for a moment, and finally nodded, "Okay, I'll go." ”
The two of them rode towards the general's mansion in a carriage, Lu Yao had always been sullen, and anyone could see that she had something on her mind.
Originally, Lu Yao thought that she was going to see Miss Gao, and she would pretend to be more happy no matter how unhappy she was, but she didn't expect to step into the General's Mansion when she stepped into the General's Mansion, and her tears fell and she was caught off guard.
On the side, Lu Xue was shocked and worried, and took her arm and said, "Yaoyao, you have to be calm, don't let people see jokes." ”
Lu Yao nodded, revealing an extremely pale smile.
"Miss Lu, Second Miss." When passing by the front hall, a maid asked for peace and said, "The second girl came to the house yesterday." ”
Lu Yao's heart was pulled again: "Yes, there were some things yesterday. ”
The maid was very enthusiastic and said with a smile: "Miss Lu Er, I was about to go to General Xiao's study to serve tea, and Miss Lu Er also stopped by today?" ”
In the past, Lu Yao tried her best to go to Xiao Chu's study, always snatching work from the maid's water, and everyone who came and went was familiar with it, and the errand to Xiao Chu's study was always handed over to Lu Yao.
Lu Xue looked at Lu Yao's sluggish expression and trance-like appearance, and was about to refuse politely, but Lu Yao reached out and took the tray from the maid and said, "By the way." ”
The maid thanked her and left with a smile, thinking that she had fulfilled Lu Yao again.
"Why are you in trouble?" Lu Xue said that she was going to take the tray: "Give it to the next person." ”
"It doesn't matter." Lu Yao took a step back to avoid Lu Xue's hand that was about to pick up the tray, she lowered her eyes and looked at the tea set and said, "Sister, since he is leaving, I will not have a chance to do this in the future." ”
Lu Xue didn't understand her thoughts, but she couldn't stop anything, so she had to sigh and say, "That's it, go, I'll wait for you at Miss Gao." ”
Seeing Lu Yao's voice disappear at the end of the corridor, Lu Xue walked towards the Gaowei Lake Garden, and when she passed by a garden, she suddenly heard a few maids talking about something.
"Did you see that last night? The steward ordered her to be carried out, and the white cloth was stained with a lot of blood. A maid lowered her voice, but did not reach Lu Xue standing under the tree.
"Is this something she can't think of herself, or is it ......"
"I heard that the housekeeper took the emperor's order and gave her poison."
