Chapter 431: Sudden Illness
Early in the morning, when Gan Peilin woke up, Jiang Yu was lying beside her.
One night, she slept so deeply that she didn't know when he came.
"Liulan, wait for freshening." She put on her clothes and got out of bed gently, her feet not touching the embroidered shoes. A pair of large hands reached out from behind her and wrapped around her slender waist. "Oops, don't be annoyed!"
Gan Peilin was afraid that Liulan and the others would come in and see something strange and embarrassing.
"It's still early, I'll go to bed again." Jiang Yu was a little reluctant and unwilling to let go. He just shoved her into his arms.
"Isn't it still early?" Gan Peilin turned to face to face with him. "Jiang Yin looked for you yesterday, what's the matter?"
"It's fine." Jiang Yu's tone was a little lazy: "It's just to ask Jiang Yishen about it." ”
"She thinks it's you......" Gan Peilin asked, and felt that he was asking inappropriately, so he closed his voice.
"What do you think?" Jiang Yu asked her rhetorically.
Looking at Gan Peilin's jet-black eyebrows, he was a little obsessed. It's been a long time since I've quietly admired her appearance, and it seems like it's been a long time since I've looked at her so closely.
"Actually, I haven't been able to figure it out......" Gan Peilin stopped here and didn't continue.
Xue Baoyun said to a scar that had healed, although it didn't hurt so much for the time being, but there was no need for her to reveal the scar herself.
Coincidentally, Liulan led the servants into the stream and waited for freshening.
Gan Peilin hurriedly broke free from Jiang Yu's arms, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Let's get up." ”
"He went with him." Jiang Yu seemed to say this in passing.
Gan Peilin was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "Maybe everyone has a different way of expressing it." ”
Jiang Yu didn't say anything, sitting on the edge of the bed and waiting to freshen up.
Although he was reluctant to continue this topic, Gan Peilin still couldn't help it. It turned out that Jiang Yishen still had love for Xue Baoyun. It's just that this kind of love has become a habit of hurting and torturing each other.
"What do you think?" Jiang Yu couldn't help but wonder when he saw her stunned.
"Nope." Gan Peilin retracted his thoughts and said gently: "The snow that has been falling for several days has finally stopped. It looks like it's going to be sunny outside. The snow is not cold, and it is always more to wear. ”
The two of them talked about something without a match, and had breakfast together. Jiang Yu went to the court with Lu Yao.
Gan Peilin took Ao Li's carefully selected gifts to Mrs. Su's house this time.
As soon as I entered the inner hall, I heard the sound of a child crying.
Mrs. Su was holding a boy fluttering wildly in her arms, his hair was loosely bunned, and his hair was hanging down his cheeks. In such a cold weather, she was sweating profusely in the heat, and she couldn't hold it back.
Seeing Gan Peilin coming in, he hurriedly said, "You sit down first." ”
Gan Peilin still walked over and saluted, frowned and took the child from Mrs. Su's arms: "Let me try." ”
Mrs. Su handed the child into her hand and sighed: "This child is also pitiful, on a cold day, crying every day, and his face is pale when he cries." Just like her mother thought. Alas! ”
I don't know if Gan Peilin has such a talent, anyway, the child is in her arms, and she really doesn't cry much.
A pair of bright eyes, before the tears dried, they blinked and stared at her.
"Looks like this kid likes you a lot." Mrs. Su couldn't help but frown: "Zeyi, call Auntie." ”
The boy didn't say anything, just blinked and looked at Gan Peilin.
"Thank you Madame for yesterday's incident." Gan Peilin couldn't help but sigh: "If it weren't for the help of his wife, I'm afraid things would be difficult to clean up." ”
"Your people sent a message, and I'll start doing it right away." Mrs. Su sighed faintly: "This kind of thing, of course, must be fast, accurate and ruthless, and it is too late for a moment." But you were unlucky, just a little negligence, and you almost got a life lawsuit. Peilin, seriously, have you ever thought about staying away from the court, away from these rights and wrongs, and living a simple and peaceful life? ”
"This ......" Gan Peilin shook his head lightly: "Don't hide it from Madame, I really haven't thought about it." ”
"Why don't you want to think about it?" Mrs. Su looked at her and said with a solemn face: "Your mother's revenge has also been avenged, Jiang Xiang treated you well, and he didn't pursue it after all." But if you have such a knot between you, can you really act as if nothing happened? He has his own ambitions in the future, do you still want to accompany him on his way? ”
"Madam, let's not talk about this today." Gan Peilin glanced at Liulan.
Rulan presented the gift list.
"These gifts are insignificant, please smile at them." Gan Peilin also sighed: "This incident made King Qin uncomfortable. But the more times like this, the more face-saving things have to be done. Madame, don't blame Pei Lin for scheming, I think I came here this time, and the outside of Su's house may follow the eyes and ears of the Queen Mother. ”
"You're doing the right thing." Mrs. Su nodded and swept the gift list presented: "It's just that the things are too expensive, just make a show." ”
"Speaking of which, I also really want to be grateful to Madame." Gan Peilin saw that the child in his arms was already asleep, and handed it to the nurse standing on the side. After the nurse took the child away, she said in a low voice: "The Queen Mother wants to separate the relationship between King Qin and my husband, if it doesn't work once, it's hard to guarantee that there will be a next time, and the play always has to be realistic......
"Yes." Mrs. Su nodded.
The two of them were saying this in the main hall, and when the nurse was walking under the porch with the child in her arms, a five-year-old girl suddenly ran from outside. She is Princess Qin's first child, Su Qizhe's daughter-in-law Su Xinxin.
"Brother, brother......"
"It's ...... Miss, right? The nurse leaned down and said softly: "Don't call the eldest lady, the young master is asleep." If you wake up, you will cry again, and you will not be able to cry. ”
As the nurse was talking, the girl Willow Branch came over.
"Isn't this the eldest lady? What are you doing here? Liu Zhi looked at her suspiciously: "Who brought you here?" ”
"Aunt Willow, where is my mother?" The little girl asked anxiously, "Was she really killed?" Am I never seeing her again? ”
Willow Branch's eyes turned red all of a sudden. Because Princess Qin was killed that night, there was no servant by her side. The maids and chamberlains who served the princess in Su Rili were all disposed of. And since she came to the imperial city, she has been staying in the Su Mansion to serve, so as to avoid a catastrophe.
Previously, when she was by Princess Qin's side, she always took this eldest lady with her.
"Princess Qin, she ...... She was indeed killed. Liu Zhi didn't know how to tell her, so he said to the nurse: "It's too cold, you take the little master back first." I accompanied the eldest lady to see Madame. ”
"Okay." The nurse nodded, hugged the child and hurried away.
"Did the lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion kill my mother?" Su Xinxin suddenly asked with a serious face.
"Miss, who are you listening to, you can't talk nonsense." Liu Zhi was serious: "The Queen Mother has thoroughly investigated this matter and has already arrested the real culprit." The man had also served the princess before, and he was a man. ”
"But ......" Su Xinxin was a little unconvinced: "The wife of the Prime Minister's Mansion caused her mother to be hit by a carriage and injured, so her mother would be killed." Although she didn't do it herself, she couldn't get out of the relationship. ”
Liu Zhi was stunned, she didn't expect a five-year-old girl to say such a thing.
It sounded so fierce that I couldn't seem to find anything wrong with it.
"Miss, don't say it, these words, whether they are right or wrong, you'd better just keep them in your heart." Willow Branch didn't bother to ask who told her this. "I'll take you to Madame."
"Hmm." Su Xinxin nodded and followed her into the inner hall.
Only then did Liu Zhi know that the prime minister's wife had come over early in the morning.
"Shin Shin?" When Mrs. Su saw her, she couldn't help but be stunned. "Aren't you in a fiefdom? How did you come here? Did your father ask you to pick you up? ”
Su Xinxin shook her head, blinked her eyes and threw herself into Mrs. Su's arms: "Grandma, my mother was killed, wasn't she?" ”
This sentence broke Mrs. Su's heart.
She hugged Su Xinxin and didn't know what to say for a long time.
But the child in her arms did not have any tears on her face. It's just very innocent to ask: "Then will I not see my mother in the future?" Won't my mother be able to braid my hair? ”
"Xinxin, don't be sad, my aunt and grandmother will comb your braids." Mrs. Su held back her grief and gently smoothed her back.
Su Xinxin suddenly turned her head, looked at Gan Peilin who was sitting on the side, and asked, "Who is this good-looking aunt?" Does she wear braids? ”
"Yes." Gan Peilin smiled and nodded: "If you like it, I'll comb it for you." ”
"She's your Aunt Peilin." Mrs. Su took her hand with a smile and walked up to Gan Peilin: "She is skillful, there is no pattern that she can't comb." She also makes a lot of petal sachets, which smell tight. ”
"Can my aunt braid my hair?" Su Xinxin tilted her head, her eyes bright and focused.
"Absolutely." Gan Peilin turned to Liu Zhi and said, "Give me a comb." ”
The willow branch answered and turned to fetch it. I was still a little worried in my heart, if the eldest lady knew that she was the prime minister's wife, would there be any trouble?
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard an exclamation from the inner room.
"Come on......"
Willow didn't bother to get the comb, so he quickly turned around and ran back.
Several servants hurriedly supported Mrs. Su, and her moon-white clothes were covered with red blood.
"Madame, what's wrong with you?" Gan Peilin was also frightened by this sudden change. I secretly wondered if it was the Queen Mother who poisoned her, right?
"Aunt and grandmother...... Su Xinxin's nose was sore, and she cried with a grin: "Mother don't be Xinxin, aunt and grandmother don't leave me and my brother ......"
"Liulan, you hurry up and ask the imperial doctor to come over." Gan Peilin couldn't help but panic.
Mrs. Su could hear the people around her talking, and she didn't feel any special pain, but she was dizzy. wanted to comfort Su Xinxin but couldn't say a word.
"Madam......" Gan Peilin watched her faint, feeling very uncomfortable. But he could only hold Su Xinxin in his arms: "Don't be afraid, Mrs. Su will be fine." ”
