Chapter Ninety-Eight: Consultation
Qiao Wushang was on the battlefield when he saw Shen Huai.
The smoke is full of eyes, and the bones are pooled. The languid man was dressed in a black robe, his pitch-black cloak resting on his shoulders, and the soft fluff was blown by the wind. And he just leaned against the wooden pillar, standing lazily in front of the camp, his posture casual and elegant. After a while, the man casually lifted his eyelids and looked coldly at the kneeling captive in front of him.
He looked at it for a long time as if admiringly, and the corners of his lips slowly provoked a cold and seductive smile.
The man didn't make any moves, not even say anything. But the king-like overlord posture on his body is hard to ignore, and even a little awe in his heart.
Originally, it was discussed to use the captive to threaten the enemy, but because of the captive's angry scolding for two or three sentences, His Royal Highness King Xiao sneered and casually raised the sword on the side.
Qiao Wu didn't see it clearly, and the captive's head had fallen to the ground.
The man with a smile on his face casually threw his sword to the attendants on the side, and walked leisurely towards him. The dark eyes fell on him carelessly, with an air of nobility. The smile in his eyes was full of stubbornness: "This king never believes in any destiny technique, but if you insist on following, this king doesn't matter." β
"Then please ask Your Highness to give Qiao a chance." Qiao Wugong said slowly.
That was the first time Qiao Wu had seen King Xiao in his previous life. Then, Shen Huai ran in the middle of the battlefield, and there were few opportunities for Qiao Wu to see him. It's more about listening to others chatting, and learning from other people's mouths what His Royal Highness King Xiao has done, what he is doing, and where he has gone at the moment.
The next time I saw Shen Huai was in the palace.
He rushed back with his troops, surrounded the imperial city overnight, and ripped the new emperor who had been on the throne for less than a month from the throne, and His Royal Highness King Xiao hardly blinked his eyes. In the face of the three thousand light horsemen, Shen Huai just made a random move and began to slaughter all night.
He followed Shen Huai into the palace and saw the embarrassed new emperor and queen on the ground.
Shen Huai didn't care at all, just asked him to change the life and rebirth of a girl who had been dead for several days and couldn't even find her bones, the new emperor's wife, Queen Gu Mingxiu. The loss of this kind of spell is too heavy, Qiao Wu said that he wanted to pay for his life, but Shen Huai didn't care; said that it would cost Shen Huai's imperial life, but he didn't care.
Qiao Wubian learned about this Gu girl from Shen Huai because of the need for magic.
Shen Huai's girl in purple clothes and light shirts is smiling and looking forward to it.
Reborn in a lifetime, Qiao Wu saw Gu Mingxiu. The girl in purple is dignified and calm, intelligent and resourceful, but she is no longer innocent and innocent in her previous life. The spirit is as clear as before, but there are also nightmares.
And Shen Huai is too young than the previous life, but he is a little less angry. However, seeing it again today, Qiao Wufang found that although the person in front of him was younger, the stubbornness in his bones had never changed.
The affection is still the same, regardless of the spring and autumn.
Qiao Wu sighed slightly and bowed: "The suffering of the little girl in this life is not in her life, but in her body. Your Highness has this heart, I must not interfere, and there is nothing I can help, but I hope Your Highness.... You can get what you want. β
Shen Huai raised his eyebrows, and the light in his eyes was full of confidence.
His Royal Highness King Xiao visited Qiao at night, and Gu Mingxiu naturally couldn't know about it.
Early the next morning, before An Yan came over, Gu Mingxiu got up an hour earlier than usual. Mu Lan instructed his subordinates to prepare their clothes, and then entered with the medicine bowl. Mo Zhu was pulling Gu Ming's hair for embroidery, and Agarwood stood aside quietly, his eyes hanging as if he was still in a daze.
Mu Lan took the medicine in: "Girl, while it's hot." β
Gu Mingxiu raised his eyes, glanced at the dark medicine bowl, and frowned slightly: "Changed the prescription?" Her long hair hung down and her face was snow-white, "The smell of this medicine is stronger than usual." β
"It's the medicine that the new doctor invited by the lady, and I have also shown it to the old doctor in the past, and there is no problem. The previous medicine could no longer stop the girl's condition, so she changed the prescription. Muran replied.
Gu Mingxiu nodded, she stretched out her hand to pick up the medicine bowl, and suddenly her eyes were fixed on one place. His eyes fell to the side, Gu Mingxiu frowned slightly, and his voice sank lightly: "What's going onββ"
A few people followed her gaze and saw that the body of the guqin that was originally placed on the piano table was slightly slanted, and the long strings hung down on the table. But I don't know who made it, the piano was cut off three strings, moved its position, and quietly placed it on the piano table.
Mo Zhu's face changed on the spot, and he hurriedly stepped forward to check the guqin: "The slave remembers that this qin was still good before going out yesterday... How, how did it become like this?! β
Agarwood stood beside her and looked at it for a while, before she said slowly: "It was cut by a knife." β
"The girl was not here yesterday, you went out with the girl, and I and Mu Lan were guarding the yard." Mo Zhu touched the broken string and felt distressed. She frowned, slowly thinking about yesterday's events, "The girl's house... No one else can come in, and Mrs. Yesterday didn't come. When I come in the morning to change the incense, this piano is all good....."
The little maid who had been guarding the room with water glanced at the anxious Mo Zhu, and then secretly glanced at Gu Mingxiu, and then quickly lowered her head, looking a little embarrassed on her face.
Noticing her look, Gu Mingxiu's gaze fell on her, and said lightly: "If you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly." β
The little maid was taken aback, and subconsciously looked up at Gu Mingxiu's expression. She bit her lip and glanced at Mu Lan with some embarrassment, and the other party was a little nervous: "When the slave and the slave were sweeping the floor on the south wall of the backyard yesterday, they saw that there was no one in the backyard, but the girl's door was hidden. I came over to take a look out of curiosity, but... But the slave saw nothing but Muran..."
The little maid quickly glanced at Mu Lan and said the rest of the words: "I only saw Sister Mu Lan coming out of the girl's room, and she looked quite nervous, as if she was doing something weak-"
"You talk nonsense!" Mu Lan interrupted the little maid's words, her face nervous.
She looked at Gu Mingxiu with a pale face, but saw that the other party's expression was faint. Mu Landen's heart was a little cold, she opened her mouth, only to feel that tears were about to fall: "Girl, do you believe in slaves?" It's really not the slave who did it, the slave and the maid have been here, but they haven't done anything like this. β
"Sister Mulan, I saw you with a knife in your hand!" The little maid was so frightened by Mu Lan that she almost cried, and at this moment she was accusing Mu Lan with tears in her eyes, and choked up, "If the girl doesn't believe it, go to Sister Mu Lan's house and search it!" β
Mu Lan was angry: "You .....!" β
"Shut up!" Mo Zhu shouted loudly, and the two of them didn't dare to speak again. Mo Zhu glared at the little maid, and then at Mu Lan, his eyes were very complicated. She turned to look at Gu Mingxiu, "Girl, it's time to go and ask the general for peace, and leave this matter to the slave." Don't delay, girl. β
Gu Mingxiu's expression was faint: "It's okay." β
She handed over the matter to Mozhu and went out with agarwood. Coincidentally, as soon as I arrived at the door, I saw An Yan coming slowly. Seeing her, the young man had no expression on his face: "Let's go." β
Gu Mingxiu didn't say much, so he followed An Yan to the study together.
Early in the morning, General An followed the two uncles and waited for her in the study.
After saluting one by one, General An let her sit before he said softly: "Xiu'er, we are looking for you to discuss a matter with you." Originally, we went back to Yangzhou just to report some official business to His Majesty, and we didn't plan to stay longer. Now that the official business is over, we will move back to Jingzhou. β
"The road to Jingzhou is not very far, of course, it is not in a hurry, you can slowly see the scenery on the road." An Zhixingdao, he cautiously looked at Gu Mingxiu's expression, and said with a smile, "Jing Zhou, you must not have been there, that place is fun." If we pass, we will be the biggest official in Jing Zhou, and no one will dare to bully you. β
"I mentioned it to your mother, and your mother said to look at what you two sisters mean. Yiyi's side, I asked Tingting to persuade her, Xiu'er ....." An Zhikang paused, and said softly, "We know that you have your own opinions, and we don't want others to interfere with you too much." So I asked you here today to ask, would you like to go back to Jingzhou with us? You can come back at any time if you want to come back in Yangzhou, and we won't stay in Jingzhou for the rest of our lives, just for official business. β
An Zhikang pondered for a moment and said: "There are many doctors in Jing Zhou, and there are quite a few Taoist priests who know some magic and ghost techniques like Qiao Gongzi, but we haven't confirmed it." But it doesn't matter, everything is easy to say when I go back to Jingzhou. β
Gu Mingxiu half-lowered her eyes, and her mood was a little complicated: "Where my mother goes, Xiu'er will follow." Besides, the mother is now back next to her grandfather, and of course Xiu'er is also following her grandfather to advance and retreat together. β
She knew why her grandfather was looking for her so alone, and she knew why An Yan had said those things last night. It's just that An Yan's worries may not be false, and now she really can't organize anything to protect the General's Mansion.
Shen Yang now has no half-point to let her catch it again, and she will not be pushed to the forefront again. Gu Changge would not be able to recover from the blow for a while, and Gu Mansion was left with Gu Qingyuan to measure whether he could continue to cooperate with the prince. And Gu Qingyue and Gu Jing are both in the Gu family, and she can't move the Gu Mansion anymore.
Yangzhou is indeed no longer worth staying.
Only by staying away, whether it is Gu Fu or Shen Yang, they need to lie dormant secretly for a period of time before they can gather all the horses' feet. She had to wait until then to kill them with one move.
Gu Mingxiu raised his eyes and smiled slightly: "Grandfather doesn't have to worry, everything is fine with Xiu'er." β
When General An heard this, he smiled happily on his face: "Good! Good! β
Gu Mingxiu sat quietly on the side, with a faint smile on her face, but she was solemn in her heart.
She wouldn't be so naΓ―ve to think that Shen Yang would really stand still during this time, nor would she think that Gu Changge would lose completely. These people are people who never give up, and so is she.
When she leaves, Yangzhou will be turned upside down.
When she returns, it's the same.
Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
