Ao Li stood outside Jiang Yu's courtyard door in a daze, looking at the door in silence. Cast Cuiyun standing beside her for a moment, she didn't even notice.

It was Zi Su who pushed her elbow before Ao Li came back to her senses. "You're here too."

Cuiyun nodded slightly: "Sister Ao, what are you thinking?" How can you concentrate so much? ”

"I'm thinking, Madame's ......" The rest of the words were not declared, and Ao Li couldn't help but sigh lightly.

"Madame, I want to come to the master's own arrangement." Cuiyun also sighed: "Madame's health is also not good, and she will be sick in three days." This time she was sick for more than half a month, and she refused to see anyone until now, and the master blamed the people around her for not serving well, and even the maids born in the lady's family sent out of the house, which shows that she was really angry. Right now, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion still has to choose a competent housekeeper, does Sister Ao have any plans for this matter? ”

"I'm afraid I won't be able to make up my mind and be the master of this matter." Ao Li turned his head sideways, and just saw Princess Zhen leading the maid over, so he was silent.

"Suoyang, Dogwood." Princess Zhen called the names of the two maids.

The two maids hurriedly stepped forward: "Two aunts and wives, let me go." ”

Cuiyun saw that Ao Li's expression became a little stiff, and hurriedly stepped forward to help her: "Sister, let's not be in a hurry left and right, since the princess wants to see the master, let her invite her first." ”

Zhen raised his chin and proudly walked directly into the courtyard from the two of them.

Lu Yao's people did not stop him.

Ao Li was angry, but there was nothing to be done. Lu Yao didn't stop it, which means that it is Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu allowed Princess Zhen to be so self-contained, so what could she do as an aunt.

"Let's go see Madame." Ao Li gasped, and finally put the odds on Gan Peilin.

"Okay." Cuiyun then nodded: "It's time for us to meet Madame." ”

As soon as the two of them were together, they turned around and went to Gan Peilin's courtyard.

Suo Yang heard what they were saying, stepped forward, and replied to Princess Zhen.

"Just go." Zhen disagreed: "A sick seedling, what kind of wind and waves can be turned over." ”

"yes." Suo Yang and Zhu Yu glanced at each other and couldn't help laughing.

At this time, Jiang Yu finished reading the booklet in his hand and put it aside.

Zhen walked into the study and saluted lightly: "The husband has read the booklet for most of the day, and he must be tired." I've got some soup for you to enjoy in the summer. ”

As he spoke, Suo Yang took the soup cup from the little maid's hand and brought the table table with both hands.

Zhen opened it himself and placed the silver spoon: "Husband, taste how it tastes." ”

Jiang Yu took the spoon, gently scooped a spoonful of soup, and slowly brought it to his lips.

"Hmm, it tastes good."

"If you like it, then drink more." Zhen's face bloomed with joy.

Jiang Yu's face was not happy, and his expression was a little cold.

"Husband, do you have anything on your mind? Do you want me to play a song to relieve fatigue? "Zhen came prepared, and asked the maid to bring a lot of things with him. In addition to the nourishing soup, the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, none of them have been left behind.

The more she did this, the more uncomfortable Jiang Yu felt in her heart.

Why can other women put so much effort into trying to please him?

But it's been more than half a month, and there seems to be no Gan Peilin in this house, everything is so quiet. She never wanted to put a little thought into it, for him.

Lu Yao walked in quickly, his eyes full of anxiety.

Zhen glanced at him, guessed what was going on, and said deliberately: "Is something wrong?" ”

Lu Yao glanced at Jiang Yu before shaking his head slightly.

Raising his head, Jiang Yu said softly to Zhen: "You go back first." ”

Of course, Zhen was reluctant in his heart, but he maintained a decent smile on his face: "It's okay." Will you come and see me later? ”

She stroked her fingers, all the way to the ring, this action may not be understood by others, but Jiang Yu can understand.

It's time to prick your finger again for blood.

"Hmm." Jiang Yu nodded slightly, and motioned for Lu Yao to send people out.

When Lu Yao turned back, he closed the door before saying: "The Ao family army was flanked by the enemy and suffered heavy casualties, and it is suspected that the strategic deployment was snooped on by the enemy. It may be that there are details inside, or it may be that the people of the Ao family have colluded with the enemy army themselves, in short, this matter has been spread to the Golden Palace, and the emperor is furious. Because the master you have to mourn your deceased mother for three months, the emperor has not summoned you. However, Da Sima, King Yeqing, and the generals who held troops in the court were all urgently recruited into the palace. It seems that the emperor is planning to send reinforcements. ”

"Ao Xuan......" Jiang Yu looked at him slightly, and only after taking a deep breath did he say: "He is not such a confused person. How is it possible to strategically deploy other enemy forces to snoop? It is even more impossible to collude with the enemy army, he has always wanted to be on top! ”

"Master, should we do something?" Lu Yao said uneasily: "Madame has been trying to find Xu Baisen's whereabouts, but Yanzi has personally traced it, and there is no news so far, isn't it strange?" ”

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Yu glared at him.

Lu Yao didn't dare to say any more, so he bowed and withdrew.

He couldn't figure it out, why did the master refuse to admit it because he still cared about his wife......

When Qian Yun arrived at Gan Peilin's side, it was already a little dark.

"This time, Madame will drink it herself or will her subordinates feed you?"

In that gourd-shaped bottle, there was a bottle of deer blood, and Gan Peilin felt his scalp tingle when he thought of that taste.

"Can't you use other medicines?"

"Unfortunately, no." Qian Yun twisted the cork of the bottle, and a smell of blood gushed out.

Gan Peilin frowned, took the pill and stuffed it into his mouth, closed his eyes and drank a sip of deer blood, and the whole person was not good.

"Madam, in fact, it's nothing to get used to." Qian Yun couldn't help but want to laugh when she saw that she was drinking so painfully. "Look good at you these days. It seems that the deer blood is still effective. ”

Gan Peilin didn't care about speaking, and took a sip of warm water.

Subsequently, Qian Yun asked for her pulse and made sure that her condition was really better than expected, so she was a little relieved.

"Madame, have a good rest." Qian Yun had to advise: "It's still the same sentence, don't bother with it, it's better to recuperate." ”

"You wait." Gan Peilin called him and asked, "What's the situation outside?" ”

"Huh?" Qian Yun was puzzled: "Is it outside this yard, or outside this house?" ”

"What do you say?" Gan Peilin glared at him.

"Madam, I just said that I want to recuperate, in fact, whether it is outside the house or outside the yard...... It doesn't seem to have anything to do with you. ”

"I'm too lazy to go around in circles with you." Gan Peilin asked bluntly: "Why is there no news of Xu Baisen yet?" Your master promised me that he would bring him back. I've been waiting for more than half a month, why hasn't there been any news yet? ”

"Madame wants to know so much, it's better to ask the master yourself." Qian Yun shrugged slightly: "I'm just a Langzhong, I only care about curing diseases, and I can't do anything else." ”

Gan Peilin wanted to say something, but he still held back.

Seeing that she was silent, Qian Yun turned around and left.

Liulan dared to speak at this time: "Imperial Doctor Qian is right, eldest lady, you want to know about the son of the Xu family, why don't you go directly to the metropolitan governor." Although the Governor has removed the people who serve in our courtyard, he has never said that you are not allowed to go out. In the past few days, the crispy core has changed its pattern to make pastries and sent it in, and the Metropolitan Governor has not let anyone stop it. In fact, he still ...... in his heart."

"Don't talk about it." Gan Peilin interrupted Liulan's words. "We'll talk about it tomorrow."

As soon as Gan Peilin's words fell, the servants outside raised their voices to announce that the second aunt and wife were here.

"Madam, the second aunt has been here several times these days, and you refuse to see each time." Liulan was really worried: "Although you had some misunderstandings before, but when you are in trouble, you can see the truth, and I am afraid that she is the only one in this house who still remembers you...... It's not good to keep rejecting people. Otherwise, the slave and maid invite her to come in and sit down for a while. ”

"That's fine." Gan Peilin nodded: "Then invite her to come in and sit down." ”

Liulan nodded again and again: "I'll go now." ”

When Ao Li came in, she still had a smile on her face.

But when she sat down, her face changed suddenly. "I shouldn't have come to disturb Madame, but the more I think about this matter, the more strange the concubine feels."

"What's the matter?" Gan Peilin was puzzled.

"Ao Jue was betrayed, more than half of the army was lost, and the emperor has issued a strict order to investigate this matter thoroughly." Ao Li glanced outside the door before saying, "The purpose is to investigate this matter thoroughly, but my father sent a letter asking me to try to ask my wife the whereabouts of the son of the Xu family." At first glance, these two things seem to have nothing to do with each other. But think about it carefully, Ao Sue just had an accident here, and his father was going to try to find the whereabouts of the Xu family's son, could it be that the court suspected that the Xu family's son had something to do with this matter? ”

When she said this, she frowned and looked at Gan Peilin: "Madam, I don't mean anything else, I just ...... The more I thought about it, the more scared I became. ”

"It's scary." Gan Peilin was also brought into this terrible mood by her.

Xu Baisen has no whereabouts, but now he is suspected of being related to the betrayal of the Ao family, this matter is ...... It may not be the reason why Xu Baisen went to Jiyang.

"I see." Gan Peilin only said these four words to Ao Li.

Ao Li got up and saluted her: "Madam, the concubine should not be too talkative, but ...... Men are sometimes childlike, and it's good to coax them. No matter how Madame is, it's not good to keep her heart knotted, and if she continues like this, I'm afraid that she will hurt her feelings. ”

"I understand what you said." Gan Peilin smiled gently.

"The concubine said goodbye." Ao Li turned around lightly and walked away quickly.

Only then did Gan Peilin say to Liulan: "Groom and change clothes for me, I'm going to see Jiang Yu." ”

"Yes." Liulan was happy on his face, but this joy had not yet bloomed, and he was deeply worried. At this time, the Metropolitan Governor went to Princess Zhen's. If the eldest lady knows, her heart will definitely be uncomfortable. But it was not easy for her to go to see the Governor, and she couldn't be poured a basin of cold water over her head before she went.

"Wear ...... That misty blue dress. Gan Peilin walked to the dresser and took a golden hairpin that Jiang Yu had given her earlier. The sapphires set on it sparkle brightly, and the mist blue is the perfect touch. "You can't hide for a lifetime, you should always face it."
