Chapter 378: The Beginning of Planning
This night, there was a torrential rain.
The rainstorm washed the entire Governor's Mansion anew, and in the morning, the sun shone in the eastern sky, and the green leaves in the courtyard shone spotlessly silver.
Gan Peilin didn't sleep all night, standing by the window lattice and watching the rain.
His clothes were soaked, but he didn't move.
I still found out when I was waiting for Liulan to freshen up. "Miss, you...... Sleepless night? ”
"yes." Gan Peilin smiled at her: "A whole day of stuffiness in exchange for a shower." Unfortunately, it didn't take long for the rain to cool down, and the sun came out, and it was another hot day. ”
"Miss, you are not in good health, why are you ......" Liulan really didn't understand what Gan Peilin wanted.
"You don't have to worry too much about me." Gan Peilin took Liulan's hand and exerted himself slightly: "When it comes to human life, I always have to suffer something." The resentment and anger he had in his heart had to find a way to vent it. ”
"Yes." Liulan nodded, she understood what Gan Peilin meant, but she was unwilling: "If the Metropolitan Governor wants to punish you, the slave is willing to bear it with you." But Princess Zhen, what qualifications does she have to do it to you? What she wants, you don't know, Miss. ”
"I know." Gan Peilin took a cotton towel from her hand and threw it into the warm water of the copper basin. "It is because I know that I have to lend her hand. What she wants is Jiang Yu's favor, and what I want is Jiang Yu's distress. We serve the same husband and love this thing, and we will benefit from the other. There is no better fit than her. ”
Gan Peilin said these words calmly, but Liulan was in awe.
Her seemingly emaciated face and slender posture contain a tenacious strength.
"Miss, don't blame the slave for being too talkative, what do you want?" Liulan always felt that she didn't seem to be here for the favor of the Grand Duke.
"I want a different ending." Gan Peilin twisted his cotton towel and wiped his somewhat cold face: "I don't want others to decide my fate." ”
Although Liulan still didn't quite understand, she didn't say any more, but smiled and said, "Which set of clothes does the eldest lady want to wear?" The slave and the maid go and get it. ”
"I want that pale gray suit." Gan Peilin thought for a while: "It's good to match that set of amethyst jewelry." ”
"Yes." When Liulan turned around to get it, Gan Peilin had already finished washing.
Then he changed his clothes and combed his hair in a normal bun.
"The mother-in-law in the small kitchen will only be lazy. Let her boil a porridge, the smell of smoke has gone into the porridge, and she is choking on food. Liulan Rao sighed: "The slave and maid will prepare the food by themselves, and the eldest lady will wait a minute." ”
"Just get one." Gan Peilin said gently: "When there is a time, as long as you can live, nothing else matters." ”
"Yes." Liulan retreated, and after a while, the little guy outside the door walked in quickly.
Gan Peilin looked at him puzzled, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "What's the matter?" ”
"Miss Yin is here." The little guy lowered his eyebrows and said, "I said I wanted to see you." ”
Jiang Yin?
What did she come to do?
Gan Peilin was curious and nodded: "Please come in." ”
So the two servants helped Jiang Yin, who was not good at walking, to come in. Although she is dressed very gracefully, her slender figure is indeed good. But her gait still makes people feel uncomfortable.
"Sister-in-law, you haven't suffered much in the past few days, right?" Jiang Yin chose a place, sat down by herself, and ordered the person who helped her to retreat first.
"It's fine." Gan Peilin said gently: "This has freshly brewed tea, don't dislike it." ”
"It's okay." Jiang Yin glanced at her lightly and said, "There are not even many people around you who are waiting now, and it is not easy to have a sip of hot tea to drink." ”
"It seems that there are no impermeable walls." Gan Peilin poured her tea and looked at her intently: "You came here on purpose, is it just to ridicule me?" ”
"Of course not." Jiang Yin said calmly: "There are rumors that Jiang Yu's mother was killed by you, but King Qin personally handled this matter, and you were not held accountable, that is what you said is untrue." What's more, Jiangmen Xue is just my mother-in-law, not my mother-in-law, I don't care how she died! ”
"You're straightforward." Gan Peilin likes Jiang Yin's temperament. Compared with those nine-song exquisite hearts, such straightforwardness can make people use a lot less brains to guess.
"It's not straightforward." Jiang Yin looked at her and frowned slightly: "I will tell Jiang Yu that I am here to talk to you." But I came back this time to tell you that the emperor has issued a secret decree to arrest Xu Baisen. Many ministers of the DPRK and China unanimously believed that it was he who betrayed Ao Suo, and his life and death were uncertain now, and he was also suspected of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, and he was in danger, so if he wanted to save him, he had to act in time. ”
"How do you know this?" Gan Peilin's face became a little cold.
"You forgot, my husband is Wu Wei." Jiang Yin deliberately said Wu Wei's name, and his eyes looked at Gan Peilin's expression for a moment.
Her expression barely changed, and the worry in her eyes was thick, and Jiang Yin breathed a sigh of relief a little.
"As long as you ask Jiang Yu to help, he will definitely save Xu Baisen." Jiang Yin said this deliberately.
Gan Peilin didn't say a word, and nodded slightly.
"Actually, I don't have to come." Jiang Yin said thoughtfully: "But my husband asked me to go on this trip, and I can't refuse." ”
"Thank you." Gan Peilin said politely: "Thank you Lord Wu for me." ”
Lord Wu, this title made Jiang Yin feel that Gan Peilin was deliberately drawing a line with him.
Although I don't know if she still remembers him and the past in her heart, as long as she has a clear attitude, it is not in vain.
"Alright, that's all I have to say." Jiang Yin was just about to call her maid in to help her go, but she suddenly glanced sideways at Gan Peilin. "You have such a deep contradiction with Jiang Yu now...... Will he help you save your cousin? ”
Gan Peilin didn't know how to answer this, but was silent.
"Do you want me to help you?" Jiang Yin asked thoughtfully.
"How do you want to help?" Gan Peilin asked along with her words.
"I guess, Jiang Yu must still care about you. Otherwise, this matter will fall on the heads of others, regardless of whether he is true or not, he would have been in a different place a long time ago. Isn't it just right for you to take advantage of this and make your wish come true! Speaking of this, Jiang Yin turned his wrist, and when he stretched out his hand again, a poisonous scorpion with a tail cocked in his palm was facing Gan Peilin's face.
"Hmm......" Gan Peilin subconsciously covered his face and took a step back.
"This is not an ordinary poison, I guarantee that if you are poisoned, Jiang Yu will definitely feel distressed." Jiang Yin fiddled with the scorpion in his hand and said with a smile: "You should be your last wish before you die, and ask him to help you, so that it can just be done?" Don't worry, I won't want your life, and when the matter on your side is resolved, I will naturally ask someone to give you the antidote. ”
"Thank you for your kindness." Gan Peilin stretched out his hand.
The poisonous scorpion really cooperated and stung her hand.
It really hurts, Gan Peilin frowned and retracted his hand. The blood squeezed out of the wound was still red.
"This ...... It's impossible! Jiang Yin looked at Gan Peilin in surprise: "How is this possible!" My scorpion is ......"
"So, I can only live up to your kindness." Gan Peilin smiled at her helplessly.
Jiang Yin looked at her and fell silent, and didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
"I'm here, it's not as good as it used to be, and there's nothing good to give in return." Gan Peilin got up and walked to the dressing mirror, picked out a beautiful bracelet, put it in the brocade box, and took it instead: "This is a thank you gift, thank you for bothering me so much." ”
Jiang Yin didn't want it, but the thing was stuffed into her hand by Gan Peilin.
"Someone." Gan Peilin called.
Liulan led Jiang Yin's two maidservants in and helped her get up.
"Send the voice delivery lady for me." Gan Peilin said this to Liulan.
"Yes." Liulan responded, accompanied the two maids, and sent Jiang Yin out.
When she turned back, her heart was a little uneasy. "Miss, Miss Yin, this is ......"
"You go and prepare a fast horse, and then when Jiang Yu leaves the palace, I will leave." There was a glimmer of light in Gan Peilin's eyes: "You must wait for him to leave the Dadu Governor's Mansion before he can leave." ”
Liulan read something from her eyes in a trance, so she nodded vigorously.
"Well, the slave will arrange it carefully." Liulan handed the boiled egg to Gan Peilin. "Miss, eat some of this to cushion your stomach first. Turning back, the slave and maid tried to get some food. ”
"Hmm." Gan Peilin cracked the egg, lowered his head and slowly peeled it.
Only then did Rulan withdraw.
The people who locked Yang followed Liulan out of the house, watched all the way, and soon came back to restore their lives.
When Zhen got the news, he changed his clothes and went to Jiang Yu's courtyard, shouting that he wanted to go out of the house to incense and pray for his mother.
Originally, Jiang Yu knew that Jiang Yin had come, and there must be something strange, and then looking at Zhen's reaction, he also had some idea in his heart, so he ordered Lu Yao to arrange it.
Sure enough, his carriage left the Dadu Governor's Mansion with its front feet, and Gan Peilin followed out with his back feet.
When Lu Yao received the news, he hurriedly coughed outside the carriage.
"Turn around and go home." Jiang Yu said these four words coldly, but he jumped out of the carriage and jumped onto the chestnut pony that was prepared on the side.
His movements were so fast that Zhen didn't even react.
By the time she came back to her senses, the carriage had turned around and headed in the direction of the Grand Governor's Mansion.
"Suoyang, you hurry up and keep up." Zhen immediately commanded.
"Yes." Suo Yang hurriedly went around to the back of the carriage, led a horse at random, and was about to chase Jiang Yu.
"Princess." Lu Yao stopped Suo Yang and said to Zhen in the carriage: "My subordinates advise you not to do this, the master ordered to turn around, you just have to go home." ”
Zhen lifted the curtain and looked at Lu Yao with a frown: "Your master didn't say that he wouldn't allow my people to follow him to protect his safety." ”
Lu Yao didn't hold back and snorted lightly: "Princess, my master doesn't need your people to protect you. If the master is reduced to your people to protect him, unless we, our subordinates, are dead. But lo and behold, I'm still panting! ”
"......" Zhen was stunned by his gaze, and forced down the car curtain. That's it, lock Yang, go home. ”
At this time, Jiang Yu rode a chestnut horse and galloped all the way to chase Gan Peilin.
The anger in my heart was like dust trampled by a horse's hooves, growing thicker and heavier, spreading in all directions.
"Gan Peilin, I see how you escaped from my Five Finger Mountain."
