Chapter 21: A private meeting in the middle of the night

The night was as cold as water, the candle flame jumped slightly, and the figure was stretched and fell to the ground, and the light faded twice.

Gu Mingxiu supported his forehead with his hands, and was taking a nap with his eyelashes down. She was still dressed in a white dress, with an embroidered cloak tucked over it, and her hair was down, hanging lazily on her feet.

The tea on the small table has not been renewed, and it has cooled down.

She seemed to be sleeping a little deeply, her head tilted slightly, her arms fell on the table, and her fingertips accidentally wiped the cold porcelain cup all over, and then shrank back. Gu Mingxiu was awakened, and suddenly sat up straight, and the cloak slipped down his back.

She looked up a little dazed to look at the layout of the room, her hand fell on her forehead, and she was in a little trance, and for a moment she couldn't tell whether she was real or thought it was in a dream.

"Girl, or... Slept, right? Mo Zhu opened the curtain and walked in, and when he saw Gu Mingxiu who was drowsy on the couch, he couldn't help but feel distressed and stepped forward to put on the cloak for her again, and said worriedly.

Gu Mingxiu rubbed his forehead and said casually: "What time is it?" ”

"Ugly moment." Mo Zhu looked at his girl's pale little face and replied with a frown.

It was a good thing that Yilan Garden sent a post, but it was a plum blossom post, and even Mozhu was really shocked at that time. Before he could be happy, his own girl ordered him to keep watch carefully tonight, and someone would inevitably climb over the wall and enter the hospital.

Gu Mingxiu said too firmly, so that Mo Zhu's heart also followed.

"Almost." Gu Mingxiu tilted his head, a pair of dark eyes stared at the unclosed wooden window, if there was no smile, but it was a little frightening to look at.

As soon as the words fell, the door was hurriedly pushed open, and when the small screen was turned, Mu Lan lifted the curtain, with some nervousness and excitement in her expression: "Girl, girl, Agarwood has caught someone." She opened her eyes and was a little proud, "We brought several people to arrest them together, girl, what should we do?" ”

Gu Mingxiu smiled faintly, put his fingertips on the table, knocked lightly, and said slowly: "If you climb over the wall in the middle of the night, you are probably a thief." ”

Mo Zhu immediately understood, nodded and said: "The slave maid will tie the person and lock it in the firewood room, let people take strict care, and send it to the government tomorrow." Gu Ming embroidered her head, and she led Mu Lan down to deal with it.

The door was closed again, Gu Mingxiu listened for a moment, lowered his eyes and smiled faintly.

The person sent by Dong Qing was originally a ruffian hooligan, and he didn't dare to do any rogue work after receiving money. Although Gu Mansion is not a heavily guarded place, it is not so easy for one or two little thieves to come in, so she can only let them in.

Compared with Miss Gu Jiayan, who got the plum blossom post as soon as she returned home, the news that Miss Yan had a private meeting with her lover in the middle of the night is even more talked-about.

It's just that in this life, she started in advance, Dong Qing couldn't handle this matter, and she couldn't let go of the scoundrel in private, and she wouldn't give her the opportunity to send the scoundrel to the government in the future. But I don't know how she plans to end this play that will be sung in a while.

With a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, Gu Mingxiu smiled casually, and was about to get up after accepting the book in his hand.

Shang took two steps down, and someone suddenly approached behind him. Gu Mingxiu subconsciously felt that something was wrong, and before she could come back, two thick and powerful arms crossed her waist and easily hugged her into her arms, and someone approached her neck and whispered: "Beauty, you can't escape." ”

Hearing the sound, Gu Mingxiu did not panic. She just frowned slightly and said coldly, "Let go." ”

The person behind him chuckled lowly, and then he heard Gu Mingxiu say coldly: "We met in Merlin." ”

As soon as the words fell, the confinement on his waist immediately loosened. She took two quick steps forward, and only after closing the distance did she look back at the lazy young man standing next to Xiao Qiu.

Sword eyebrows and starry eyes, the very handsome young man born was indeed the person Gu Mingxiu saw in Meilin that day. Tonight, he was dressed in a dark brocade robe, covered with a dark cloud cloak, and there was a bit of a sharp chill on his body.

The young man casually looked at the furnishings in the room: "How do you know it's me?" Maybe you've got two thieves in this yard tonight. ”

He picked a place, sat down casually, scooped up his long arms, and brought the cold teapot over and poured himself a cup of cold tea. Gu Mingxiu stood in place and watched his behavior, and said lightly: "Although it was a deliberate teasing word, the meaning is also heavier, besides..."She paused, and her sharp gaze fell on him, "I have a good memory, I remember your voice." ”

"Good memory..... The young man played with the porcelain cup in his hand, repeated her words, chuckled lowly, and was slightly depressed, "I dare to say that your memory is good." ”

Gu Mingxiu frowned, and was about to ask again, when she suddenly heard a panicked scream, which sounded outside her courtyard.

When the young man heard this, he chuckled inaudibly, and turned his head to look at her with interest: "It seems that there is a big drama going to happen here tonight, and it is not the right time for me to come." He sighed and leaned back slightly, revealing the wound under his cloak.

Letting the wound on his waist ooze blood, the young man hooked his lips, revealing a touch of evil spirit: "But I just solved the little thief lying on the wall for you, and the wound was involved, and now you can't leave, what should you do?" ”

Gu Mingxiu didn't move, just looked at him fixedly.

"Mother...."I couldn't hear movement for a long time, and the girl sitting in front of the embroidery frame frowned uneasily, and looked at the beautiful woman sitting on the other side worriedly, "Is there really no problem?" ”

"Long song." Dong Qing put down the embroidery needle in his hand, raised his head to look at his daughter, and said softly, "I've told you a few times, your temperament is still uncertain, and you need to practice again." ”

The hands on his knees were clenched, and Gu Changge, who had always been gentle and dignified, showed hatred on his face in an instant: "But mother, I can't bear it." She's only been back for a few days, and she's almost finished stealing the limelight from me! I've been fighting hard for three years... Why did she get the plum blossom post when she came back? Is it just because she's a concubine?! ”

Dong Qing sighed and patted Gu Changge's hand: "Changge, it's okay, after tonight, she will be discredited." His eyes fell on his daughter's delicate face, and his tone became more and more gentle, "No one can compete with you, Changge." ”

Listening to the person's very determined words, Gu Changge was gradually appeased, slowly softened his face, and nodded.

Mingzhu hurriedly walked in from the outside, blessed her body, and said in a low voice: "Auntie, second miss, it's done." ”

Unconsciously a little joy floated in his eyes, Gu Changge pursed his lips and smiled, and immediately lost the overly obvious joy, with a little bit of worry, and said softly: "Aunt Hard, I will send you out at night." ”

Dong Qing stood up with her with satisfaction and walked to the door. As soon as the two of them reached the door, at this moment, a faint scream sounded.

The two of them turned their heads together, Mingzhu stood behind the two, glanced at them quickly, and said softly: "The cry came from Mingxin Pavilion, it was Xiaolan's voice." ”

Dong Qing frowned and looked in the direction of Mingxin Pavilion: "There is movement over there in Mingxin Pavilion, and I don't know if something happened to the fourth lady in the middle of the night." ”

Gu Changge said softly: "Don't have an accident, Mingzhu, bring more people, let's go over quickly, in case the fourth sister encounters any danger..... if I am too careful." ”

Mingzhu blessed her body, turned her head and gave an order, and a large group of subordinates and grandmothers followed.

Mingxin Pavilion is not far from Gu Changge's Zhilan Courtyard, and it will be there in a short distance. The two of them walked in a hurry, and when they arrived at the gate of the Mingxin Pavilion, they saw a little maid kneeling on the ground trembling, and Mu Lan stood at the door and stared at the maid, her face was not very good, and she was instructing a few grandmothers to pull the maid.

"What's going on?" Dong Qing stepped forward and looked at the group of people outside the courtyard in surprise, "I heard someone screaming just now, but what happened?" ”

Seeing the two of them appear, the pulling grandmothers paused, stopped their movements for a while, and stood in place together.

Mu Lan looked at Gu Changge and Dong Qing, frowned, but she was still blessed, and then she looked at the little maid angrily and said, "I disturbed the second lady and my aunt, is it a slave?" This maid has unclean hands and feet, and steals things in the middle of the night, so I will tie her up and let the girl deal with her tomorrow. ”

Hearing this, the two grandmothers immediately came around, and set up the maid to drag her into the yard.

Dong Qing frowned, and was about to say something. The maid suddenly broke free from a grandmother, and even crawled and rolled to Gu Changge's feet, crying repeatedly: "Second Miss! Second Miss Help! Not at all what she said she was! ”

Mingzhu, who was standing behind Gu Changge, suddenly spoke: "Isn't this Xiaolan, Xiaolan has always been the most obedient, how can she steal things?" ”

"You prodigal!" Mu Lan snorted coldly, but she was obviously a little flustered, "You guys are still stunned and don't tie her up!" I can't catch anyone, what should I do if I scare the second lady! ”

"Stop!" Seeing that the two grandmothers were about to come around again, Gu Changge opened her lips and shouted, she looked at Miao Lan gently, "Maybe there is some misunderstanding in it, she is just a little maid, why bother her like this." ”

Seeing this, Mu Lan was a little anxious and said: "Second Miss, this is a matter in our hospital, the girl will..."

Before Mu Lan finished speaking, Dong Qing interrupted her unhappily: "Miss speaks, is there room for you to interject?" Siniang has spoiled you on weekdays, and she has no appearance at all. ”

Gu Changge smiled: "Fourth sister's affairs in the hospital, I shouldn't have interfered. It's just that the fourth sister should be resting now, so it's not good to bother. Why don't I listen to what's going on, maybe it's really a misunderstanding. ”

The maid Xiaolan got up and knelt down, kowtowed to Gu Changge, and cried, "Second Miss! Miss Four hasn't slept yet, she... She must be awake. ”

"What the hell is going on?" Gu Changge soothed softly, "You speak slowly." ”

"The slave and the slave couldn't sleep at night, and felt a little hungry, so they wanted to go to the kitchen and find something to eat. But as soon as the slave and maid walked into the courtyard, they heard movement on the other side of the wall, and when they came to look, the slave and maid saw a man coming over the wall, and hugged a person! ”

Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
