Chapter Seventy-Four: Drugged
The sky is slightly cool, and the warm breeze is coming.
An Ting stood by the carriage bored, playing with the yellow tassels on the carriage, looking at the entrance of the prison from time to time, and kept muttering: "Why haven't you come out yet, why has it been so long." ”
She frowned, and thought in pieces: "Why haven't you come yet....did it take so long to say a few words?" ”
In her heart, the cousin Xiu'er, who looked soft and weak, seemed to be pinched to death by her, was a weak little girl, who should be pampered and coaxed by the whole general's mansion.
She wanted to go with her at first, but was stopped by An Yan, and Gu Mingxiu politely refused, so she had to wait at the door.
An Yan touched the horse, raised her eyes and glanced at her expressionlessly, and kindly reminded: "You don't need to worry so much, she just looks weak." The young man paused, and withdrew his gaze with some meaning, "Our cousin is not as simple as it seems. ”
Glancing at An Yan, An Ting didn't take his words to heart at all, just frowned and said, "Xiu'er is already weak, what if those people say something that stimulates her and she faints in prison?" ”
An Ting made a bitter face and shook his head again and again: "When I go home, I will definitely be scolded to death by my grandfather and father." ”
Thinking of Gu Mingxiu's frailty, An Yan also paused, and his eyes were a little worried. He hesitated slightly, withdrew his hand stroking the horse, and was about to take a look when he saw An Ting suddenly stand up straight, and waved his hand happily: "Cousin, cousin!" ”
Gu Mingxiu and Gu Liyi walked out of the prison, their faces were as usual - they were still exactly the same snow-white as before they went out, and they looked extremely weak.
An Yan frowned and said, "It's better for you to rest in the mansion?" Looking at the outside, it's no wonder that my aunt is not very relieved, even if I accompany you at the moment, I can't settle down. ”
"It's just you!" An Ting glared at An Yan unhappily, raised his hand to hold Gu Mingxiu, raised his chin and said, "If you are bored in the house every day, you will be bored if you are not sick." The little cousin said that Xiu'er usually didn't like to walk around outside, and today I finally came to take a walk, so that you can say that there is no more. ”
Ignoring An Yan, he took Gu Mingxiu and the two of them and turned around and got into the carriage, directing the coachman to leave.
An Yan didn't get into the car, and the carriage and horse naturally didn't dare to call the shots, but just looked up at each other with inquiring eyes. The silent young man frowned, only felt a little pain in his head, and only sighed after a while, got into the car and ordered to leave.
This time, I went to Yilan Garden, and the place where I could rest for a while made An Yan have no opinion.
An Ting left Yangzhou when he was a child, and he had long forgotten about the scenery and new and interesting things in Yangzhou. Although Jingzhou is rich, the people are fierce, and they are not as delicate and interesting as Yangzhou. After entering the house, An Ting flipped through the things written in the booklet, and was very happy to pull Gu Ming and asked, "Can you still throw pots and shoot arrows here?" Still winning? ”
She is heroic, and her face is full of antimidity and joy when she asks questions, which is very cute.
Xiao Er, who was waiting on the side, couldn't help but be infected, and replied with a smile: "Yes, you can participate in all the activities on the field, and if you win, you can win the money from our garden." It's just....the girl doesn't look like a person from Yangzhou? ”
Some of the games in Yilan Garden are not allowed to be entered by outsiders.
Gu Mingxiu smiled slightly and glanced at the ink bamboo behind him.
Mozhu immediately understood.
She took out the post, smiled and stepped forward to hold it to the little er, and asked, "Since my girl has a post, can I bring the girl's sisters to play?" ”
Xiao Er looked at An Ting with a smile, with a bit of hesitation on his face. At this moment, when I saw the hollow plum blossom on the post, I was surprised on my face, but I didn't answer the post, and said with a smile: "The girl has a post, and I won't say these begging words when I take it out earlier." ”
An Ting had heard about the Wenhui before, but he had only heard a few short sentences.
She glanced at Gu Mingxiu, who was pale in surprise, and blinked with a smile: "It turns out that Xiu'er is such a powerful character in Yangzhou, I want to listen to your skills." She pulled Gu Liyi up with a smile and said, "You are weak, I won't trouble you, I just pull my little cousin to play with me." ”
An Yan didn't stop them, but just told them: "Don't make trouble." ”
"Got it." An Ting waved his hand casually, and pulled Gu Liyi out of the Yashe quickly, of course, he didn't forget to take the post in Mo Zhu's hand - although the little two had already followed them and were waiting with him.
"She's always been noisy, don't worry about it." Completely understanding that An Ting didn't take his words to heart, An Yan sighed, turned around and explained to Gu Mingxiu, "If she comes to trouble you in the future, you just have to tell me, and I will treat her for you." ”
Gu Mingxiu glanced at An Yan curiously, then shook his head and smiled faintly: "It's okay, my cousin has a good temperament." ”
She glanced at the young brother who was playing vigorously below, and asked, "There are hundreds of weapons on the third floor of Yilan Garden, do you want to take a look?" She casually turned her gaze away and said, "There are also four treasures in the study, I also want to take a look, what about my cousin?" ”
The girl smiled brightly, her eyes were moist and smart, and once she looked at each other, she was unconsciously attracted. She has a soft voice and a sincere tone when she asks, and it's hard to say no.
An Yan was only slightly silent, and then bowed his head: "Okay." ”
Then they went upstairs and the two separated. An Yan was indeed very interested in weapons, but Gu Mingxiu suddenly became interested and wanted to visit the fat powder shop. The rouge gouache of Yilan Garden is made of fragrant materials, but the output is very small, and it is very rare to buy a few kinds.
An Yan saw that the agarwood beside her was martial arts, so she didn't hesitate to let go.
Gu Mingxiu turned around and walked up another staircase to another house.
Someone inside had been waiting for a while, sipping half a cup of tea, and looked at Wendou downstairs with interest. Hearing the movement, she turned her head to look at her, her big eyes flashed with a hint of unease, and she whispered, "Fourth sister." ”
"Third sister."
The wooden window was lowered to silence the noise downstairs.
Gu Qingyue paused, and then slowly put away the timidity in her eyes.
She sat upright, breathed a sigh of relief at the tea in front of her, and said, "Father has given up the idea of saving my eldest brother and aunt, but he is still coaxing Gu Changge." He seems to have sent a letter out of the house, but I don't know who to give it to. ”
"It's not coaxing, he will try to save the two of them before he is beheaded, but Gu Xuan is afraid that he won't be able to wait." Gu Mingxiu looked at the misty tea in front of him, and there was a little smile in his eyes, "No matter how much the letter is sent, it is useless, that person will not respond to him." ”
Gu Qingyue glanced at Gu Mingxiu, and also heard the determination in her tone. But she knew that she was not familiar with Gu Mingxiu to the point where she could share anything, so she didn't ask who that person was.
She just nodded: "Grandmother is sick, just recuperate and recuperate." I don't care about them, I'm just taking care of my grandmother, and I can't care about how the fire starts in Zhilan Courtyard. ”
"Grandmother can only get better, and when grandmother gets better, the person you want to cultivate is naturally you."
Gu Mingxiu casually looked at Gu Qingyue's quiet and well-behaved demeanor, and smiled slightly: "It's just the third sister, you think too easily." Looking at the other party's expression was slightly stunned, she said lightly, "In less than two days, Gu Qingyuan will think of sending you to the palace." ”
She smiled slightly: "He will let you serve the Son of Heaven and let you intercede for the eldest brother." ”
Gu Qingyue's whole body froze in place, looking at her in disbelief: "How is it possible ......?" My father doesn't even look down on me, how can he send me to the palace....."
He knew that the Son of Heaven had become suspicious of the Gu Mansion, so he naturally wanted to send someone into the palace to suppress it. Sending a daughter to the palace is a sign of loyalty. As for how you will be treated by the third sister, it is not within the scope of his consideration. Gu Mingxiu looked at Gu Qingyue, "After all, third sister, you are just a little cowardly, but your appearance is superior." ”
The Son of Heaven was almost as old as Gu Qingyuan, but she was still young.
Gu Qingyue only felt her stomach churning, and her eyes suddenly shot unwillingly: "Yes, the Son of Heaven doesn't like it, the harem is cruel, and the queen is even more jealous." Our father....he is not willing to send his precious daughter to suffer and is reluctant to Gu Changge, so he can only sacrifice me. ”
She smiled bitterly, raised her eyes and said, "If you are the third sister, you are still in the Gu Mansion....."
"Then the one who sacrificed should be me," Gu Mingxiu took her words and smiled softly, "Isn't it?" ”
"I didn't mean that." Gu Qingyue waved her hand, and her face unconsciously carried a little trepidation. She clenched her handkerchief tightly and said in a low voice, "I just think that you and I are just victims of Gu Changge." That person... The eldest brother is now gone, and there are still seven brothers left in the house, and his father will not hurt him, but he has more than one daughter. ”
Tapping lightly on the table with his fingertips, Gu Mingxiu looked at Gu Qingyue and said lightly: "Third sister, Gu Qingyuan is just looking at and loving them." She looked at the tea thoughtfully and smiled slightly, "Believe it or not, between life and death, no matter how much love you usually love, it will all turn into hatred." ”
Her eyes were pale, and the corners of her lips were slightly upturned, as if she was sarcastic: "After all, Gu Qingyuan is just a selfish person." ”
Gu Qingyue looked at her suspiciously, as if she was a little puzzled.
"Now that I'm not in the house, it's not very convenient to do many things." Gu Mingxiu sighed.
Immediately understanding the meaning of the other party's words, Gu Qingyue clenched her handkerchief: "No matter what the fourth sister wants to do, I can help you." Although I am not as smart as my fourth sister, I can do what you ask. ”
"Third sister," Gu Mingxiu called to her and said softly, "Do you dare to poison her?" ”
In her fluttering tone, Agarwood stepped forward and took out a packet of medicinal powder from her sleeve and put it on the table, and then stepped back silently, like a wooden man.
Staring at the medicinal powder on the table, Gu Qingyue's hand shook involuntarily. She stared at the packet of powder, and a little stunned and panicked flashed in her eyes.
"Don't be afraid, it's not poison." Gu Mingxiu spoke, "It's just some medicine that makes people feel uneasy and have a headache and can't sleep." It can only be interfered with, but it is not fatal enough, it is colorless and odorless when dissolved in water, and it cannot be detected. ”
Gu Qingyue was stunned for a moment, but did not hesitate too much: "This is?" ”
"For Gu Qingyuan."
Gu Mingxiu said.
Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
