Not long after dinner, the mandarin duck put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, didn't say anything, and walked out.

"Ah Yang, the meal hasn't finished yet, where are you in such a hurry?" Mrs. Wen noticed that the mandarin duck suddenly got up, and her expression was a little worried.

"Study."

"Ah ......" Mrs. Wen sighed and wanted to call her to stop, but the figure of the mandarin duck had already disappeared outside the door.

General Wen put his arm around Mrs. Wen's shoulders and comforted, "Don't worry too much, Madam, Ah Yang is such a big person." ”

"But you obviously know that Ah Yang has been a little emotionally unstable by various things in the emperor recently."

"Okay, okay, don't talk about it, let's go with Ah Yang, Ah Yan is still here, let's eat."

The sky had cleared, snow was quietly covering the ground, and the moonlight was shining through the clouds into the study window and falling on the table by the window. The mandarin duck pushed open the door of the study, lit the oil lamp on the desk, and carried the oil lamp, so that he could barely see that the ancient books were still messily placed on the ground.

She stooped down and picked out the book she was reading from the stack and placed it on the table. Then he sorted out the rest of the books and put them back on the shelves.

She didn't linger much in the study, and when she had restored the shelves to their original state, she picked up the books on the table, blew out the oil lamp, and walked out. The study was plunged into darkness again.

She held the book and walked briskly in the corridor, Cuicui stood in the corridor with a wooden basin in her hand, watching the mandarin duck walk by her like a gust of wind, and could only wonder in her heart: What is the eldest lady going to do in such a hurry?

The mandarin duck pushed open the door of the account room and gasped against the door frame.

Steward Wen was obviously taken aback by the sudden appearance of the mandarin duck, and the pen in his hand was only a little short of drawing out of the account book.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?"

"Uncle, don't talk yet, let me slow down first." The mandarin duck reached out to stop Steward Wen, who was about to step forward and help her to her place to rest.

"Okay...... Yes. Steward Wen withdrew his hand and stood aside a little embarrassed.

The mandarin duck took a few deep breaths, trying to make her breathing no longer seem so rapid, and after a while, she put the ancient book in her hand on the desk, turned the page that had already been marked, and then stretched out her hand to greet Steward Wen: "Uncle, come and see." ”

"It's ...... Western Regions? Steward Wen lifted the glasses on the bridge of his nose and leaned closer to see where the mandarin duck was pointing.

"Uncle, you really know."

"Seven Life Gu? Where did you get this book? ”

"In my father's ancient books, there are many books about the Western Regions, I read some of them, and I saw these Seven Birth Gu, how about it, uncle, do you know about Seven Life Gu?"

"I don't know about it, I can only say that I have heard about it." Steward Wen looked away from the ancient books, straightened up his arched body, walked to the side of the chair against the wall and sat down, and then pointed to another position next to him and said, "Miss, will you sit here?" ”

He slowly made a cup of tea for the mandarin duck and pushed the teacup in front of her.

The mandarin duck picked it up and took a sip, the tea in his hand was still a little warm, and as soon as he entered his mouth, the aroma spread in his mouth.

"Uncle, can you tell me what you know about the Seven Lives Gu, does it really exist?"

"The Seven Lives Gu is just like what is recorded in the ancient books, it is a poison like a legend, just twenty years ago, the old man once thought that this thing did not really exist, but then by chance, the old man accidentally went to a small tribe in the Western Regions, where he met a wizard, he told the old man that there is indeed this Seven Lives Gu in the Western Regions, but this Gu source is very rare, and it takes a few people in a tribe to refine such a pair of Gu for decades."

"So, does this Gu really exist? If you want to find it, you can find it, right? ”

Steward Wen nodded: "Indeed, it's just ...... Could it be that the eldest lady wants this Gu? This is absolutely impossible, and the price to be paid during this period is conceivable! ”

The mandarin duck replied with a smile: "How come, uncle, don't worry about it, I'm just curious about the name of this Gu." ”

"That's fine, otherwise if the general and his wife blame it, it will be the old man's guilt."

"Don't worry, uncle, I will definitely not do this kind of thing, if there is nothing wrong, then I will go back first."

The mandarin duck stood up, closed the ancient books on the desk, and hugged them into his arms.

"Lady walk slowly." Steward Wen also got up together and walked to the door of the account room with the mandarin duck.

"Uncle, come in quickly, you don't need to send it."

"Eh, okay."

Steward Wen stood outside the door, watching the mandarin duck melt into the dark night, turned around and entered the account room, he sighed heavily:

"Seven Lives Gu, Seven Lives Gu, something harmful."

......

Wen Mu had just blown out the candle when there was a sound of the window opening in the darkness.

For a moment, she felt her heart beating as violently as a drumbeat, and she was afraid that a thin cold sweat oozed from her forehead, "What...... Who? ”

The whole room was dark again, and Wen Mu was used to the darkness, and then she saw a figure standing outside the window staring straight at her.

Yes......

Before the screams could be spoken, someone covered his mouth and gagged him back.

"Are you trying to call them all over to see the fun?" Xia Yuan's voice sounded in Wen Yuan's ears, and when she looked at it again, there was still a figure outside the window, and this figure was already standing behind her at some point.

"What are you doing here?" Wen Mu pulled Xia Yuan's hand down, led him to sit on the edge of the bed, and then went to light the candle again.

"Didn't I miss you, come and see you," Xia Yuan's smile looked a little scoundrel at this moment, and with just one glance, he tugged at Wen Yuan's heartstrings.

"Don't you know that men and women can't meet before a big wedding?"

"I haven't seen you in years." Xia Yuan hugged her from behind Wen Mu and buried his face in her shoulder.

"I've endured it for so long, and I still care about these days?" Wen Mu covered the hands that surrounded him with his hands.

"Then don't turn your head, so we don't know each other." Xia Yuan's voice was a little muffled, sounding like a child who had been wronged outside.

"Nonsense." obviously wanted to say this sentence fiercely, but the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't hide it, "Why is there no emperor like this?" ”

"What do you want in front of you?" Xia Yuan hugged Wen Mu and took her to the edge of the bed to sit down, "Soon, we will be together forever and forever." ”

The candle gradually burned to a pool of wax and solidified on the candlestick, and the two sat quietly on the edge of the bed together, and without much warm words, they could convey each other's thoughts to each other.

"Ah Yan, I have to go, I have to go to the morning court tomorrow, it's really hard to live without you."

"Still poor? Don't work too hard, don't burn your body out. ”

"Isn't this waiting for you to supervise me later?" Xia Yuan jumped up the window, turned his head and left Wen with a wicked smile, and then jumped out of the window and landed firmly on the ground, blending in with the night.
