Chapter 465: Distress

It is said that the spring rain is as expensive as oil, and it has not stopped this night.

The cool breeze blew in from time to time through the window lattice, and Gan Peilin curled up, barely warming his feet in the second half of the night.

That's it, all night, she kept dreaming, as if she had been being chased by someone in her dreams. I couldn't see each other's faces clearly, but I felt inexplicably afraid.

When I woke up, my throat was dry and itchy, which was uncomfortable.

"Ahem." Gan Peilin coughed lightly twice and called Liulan to come in to serve and change clothes.

"The eldest lady woke up, why is she still coughing?" Liulan led the servants in and waited for freshening. Seeing that Gan Peilin's face was not very good, he couldn't help frowning. "But you didn't rest last night, okay?"

As soon as her words fell, before Gan Peilin could speak, he heard the sound of the wind blowing the window lattice.

"Hey, that's weird." Liulan walked to the side of the bed and frowned: "The slave maid looked at the rain, how could it be open when the window was closed last night." The eldest lady must have caught a cold by the wind, and the slave maid asked people to invite a miracle doctor to enter the house. ”

"Hmm." Gan Peilin nodded slightly. Originally, she also planned to find an excuse and see the miracle doctor again. I didn't expect the window to be blown open by the wind last night, and this opportunity came so soon. "But there's no hurry, I'll wait until everything on the swallow's side is taken care of."

"Hmm." Liulan cautiously served and dressed Gan Peilin, and the group rushed to Yanzi's room.

At that time, the swallow had already finished dressing up. Except for the hairpin with a full moon on her sideburns, except for the delicate makeup on her face, the rest are exactly the same as usual.

"Yanzi, why didn't you wear the wedding dress specially made for you?" Liulan couldn't help but wonder. "Didn't we try it last night? It fits perfectly! ”

"Madame, slaves and maids used to be like this. Huo Qing is familiar with slaves and maids, and if he changes his clothes rashly, he may feel unaccustomed to it. Swallow lowered her eyebrows: "Even if I don't wear fancy clothes, he likes me." I think that since today is a day for him, it is better to be the same as when he was there. ”

"It's fine." Gan Peilin nodded: "Today is your good day, you can do whatever you want, everything depends on your pleasure." ”

"Thank you, ma'am." Swallow smiled and nodded.

The bride led a group of servants into the house happily.

Inevitably touched Gan Peilin, and the swallow helped her to sit aside. "Madame doesn't have to send each other. I just married from the Prime Minister's Mansion to the Jiang Mansion, took a turn, went through the motions, and I came back again. ”

"Okay." Gan Peilin took out a pair of purses from his waist: "The two are comfortable, even if they are thousands of miles apart, their hearts are together." This pair of concentric purses with concentric knots will be given to you. ”

"Thank you, ma'am." Swallow's happy subordinates, laughing and singing, were surrounded by the Xi Po and the maids and left the wing.

The sedan chair at the door was also prepared by Gan Peilin. Carry the swallow from here to there.

Estimating that the sedan chair had not yet reached the road connected by the back, Chen Rui hurried back.

"Miss." Chen Rui frowned, glanced at the servant beside him, and then said, "The slave has something important to come back to." ”

"Hmm." Gan Peilin nodded slightly. Rulan ordered the men to stand down.

"Now I can say it." Gan Peilin said peacefully.

"The minion found out one thing, it was Xiangye's idea to hunt down and kill Wu Gongzi. Xiangye issued a reward for life and death. Chen Rui's face was very bad: "I heard that this life and death order is that if you can't kill Wu Gongzi, all those involved in this matter will kill themselves." If anyone can get Wu Gongzi's head, Xiangye will meet any of his requirements. ”

"But have you heard why?" Gan Peilin couldn't help but be curious.

"Not really." Chen Rui is also embarrassed here: "The slave took a lot of effort to investigate. But all those who received the order of life and death said that they only asked about the reward, not the reason. It has been a while since Wu Gongzi fell off the cliff of Wuhan Peak. Although his body was not found, it was not easy to live there if Wuhan Peak was a place. ”

"Wu Wei was thrown in an ice cellar by his parents since he was a child." Gan Peilin said solemnly: "He has endured this bitter cold since he was a child, and he may not be unable to live." ”

"What does the eldest lady mean...... Do you want to continue to look for Wu Gongzi? "Chen Rui's worries are here." It's not that the slave refuses to endure this hardship and continues to look for people, but that this matter is what Xiangye meant. Even if we find Wu Gongzi, what should we do? Miss, have you thought about it, are we going to save people, or are we going to push the boat down the river and send him to Xiangye? ”

"Naturally, it can't be handed over to Jiang Yu." Gan Peilin couldn't help frowning. "He must know why Jiang Yu wanted to kill him. Find him, and this matter may be solved. ”

"Miss, why can't you just ask Xiangye?" Chen Rui was a little incomprehensible: "Instead of going to Wu Gongzi to inquire, it is better to ask Xiangye directly." It's okay to go near and far, but Wu Gongzi's life and death are uncertain at the moment, and he is afraid that his efforts will be in vain. ”

"......" Gan Peilin didn't understand why he didn't want to ask Jiang Yu directly. Anyway, she just didn't want to ask Jiang Yu.

"Don't talk so loudly, and besides, you just came back from outside, and it's cold, so let's go and warm up, change your clothes and come over to see the eldest lady." Liulan was disgusted, and stared at Chen Rui with a stiff face.

Chen Rui was confused: "I also see the eldest lady like this every day, why can't I do it today?" ”

"It's been done in the past, but it's not possible today." Liulan straightened her face slightly, and said seriously: "The eldest lady is not as good as before, she used to be alone, no matter what." But now it's two people, and it's inevitable that they're tired. Naturally, you need to pay attention. ”

"Miss......" Chen Rui's expression changed from surprise to smile, but in fact, a subtle sadness was omitted in the middle. He unconsciously remembered the crispy core, and his heart was sour. But he was still happy for Gan Peilin. "Congratulations to the minion, this is great."

Gan Peilin smiled slightly, but he was not so sincerely happy.

On this day, it was stuffy, the head was heavy and the body was light, and the feeling was like floating headfirst on the clouds. I don't seem to know when it's going to fall.

Gan Peilin has been uneasy in his heart, and his hands are gently resting on his abdomen.

Until the evening, the miracle doctor did not enter the house.

Rulan asked her to send a copy of dinner to Yanzi. After all, over there in Jiang's Mansion, Princess Zhen now lives. They don't care if the swallows are hungry or not.

"Miss, let's eat some too." Liulan saw her lazily snuggling on the warm mat, and couldn't help but chuckle: "Since the eldest lady is pregnant, she has become more and more lazy, and she is like a little cutie all day long, nesting on the mat and unwilling to move." ”

"It's strange to say." Gan Peilin stroked the snow-white cat next to him and said with a smile: "Shouldn't it be the most lively time at this time?" I don't see it going out all day long. ”

"Xu knows that it is inconvenient for the eldest lady to go out, so he will accompany him here obediently." Liulan looked at the soft appearance of the little cutie, and she also liked it. "Listen, does it snore?"

"yes." Gan Peilin nodded: "When cats are comfortable, they will make such sounds." ”

The two of them were talking and laughing, and the maid outside gently called the door. "Madam, the slave has something to tell you."

"Come in and talk." Rulan got a gesture and said.

The maid pushed the door in and saluted Gan Peilin: "Madam, Sister Liulan asked the slave maid to bring some dinner to Miss Yanzi." But the swallow girl's chamber was open and empty, and the slave maid brought the supper in and put it down, and saw the golden hairpin at the table. ”

"This ......" Liulan glanced at the golden hairpin, and her heart tightened: "Isn't this hairpin the flower that the eldest lady picked for the swallow and the moon is full?" How did it end? ”

She picked it up and looked at it carefully, and said, "The hairpin is very neatly broken, and it seems to have been cut off by a sharp blade." ”

"You go and look for the swallow yourself." The uneasiness in Gan Peilin's heart suddenly increased. "Swallow is not a person who does not explain, maybe he is really in trouble."

"Okay." Liulan nodded: "The slave maid will go." ”

Before leaving, she didn't forget to say to the servant on the side: "You stay here and serve the lady for dinner." ”

"Yes." The maid nodded obediently: "The slave will take good care of the lady." ”

The dinner was prepared with some light food, and although Gan Peilin had no appetite, he also ate some for the sake of the children.

As she ate, she felt a little strange, and couldn't help but glance up at the little maid. "What are you doing?"

The little maid was serving her porridge on the side, but there was obviously something in her hand.

"No ......" the little maid subconsciously hid her hand behind her: "The slave maid wants to add a bowl of porridge to the lady first, and then it will be just right to eat." ”

Gan Peilin's face sank, and his tone couldn't help but be stiff: "Stretch out your hands and spread them out." ”

"Madam...... the little maid's face was a little pale: "The slave really didn't do anything." ”

"Someone." Gan Peilin didn't bother to talk nonsense with her, so he called directly.

It happened that Chen Rui was outside, and when he heard the movement, he walked in quickly. "What do you command?"

"Break her hands and see." Gan Peilin looked at the servant with a cold expression.

Chen Rui did not hesitate at all, strode past the meteor, and grabbed the back of the girl's neck with one brain. "Don't take your hands out yet, don't let me move."

The servant panicked, and hurriedly stuffed the things in his hand into his mouth.

This action angered Chen Rui, he pinched the servant's jaw and snatched the thing in his hand.

"It's a loss, it's a grab." Chen Rui frowned and glared at her: "If you swallow this thing, it's strange if you don't choke to death." ”

A small bamboo tube the size of a thumb with a piece of letterhead stuffed inside.

"It's a letterhead?" Gan Peilin thought she was going to poison the porridge. "Look at what's written on it?"

Chen Rui should have clicked on the acupuncture points of the servant so that she could not move, so he took out the letter paper and looked at it carefully.

"Ma'am, this ...... It seems to be Wu Gongzi's distress letter. ”

"A letter for help?" Gan Peilin took it from him, and when he looked at the note, he knew that it was written by Wu Wei. It's just that instead of ink, the writing is done with discolored blood.

"Who the hell are you? Where did you get this? Gan Peilin frowned and asked, "Since you want to send me a letter for him, why don't you give it to me directly, it's so sneaky?" Also, does the disappearance of the swallow have something to do with you? If you don't tell the truth, I won't spare you. ”
