"Why haven't you seen the girl out of the yard for the past few days?"

"You're from the outer court, so you don't know much about that. The girl is a little sick these days, and the general ordered her not to go out. ”

"It is true that the outer court has not received any of these messages... It's better to be the sister in the inner courtyard, and she knows more or less about the girl. I haven't seen the girl in the past few days, and I haven't seen Miss An and them come to visit, and the slave and maid thought that something was going on, and the girl was punished. ”

"What are you thinking? The girl is so favored, how can she be punished. How long has it been since you've been paying attention to what's going on in the yard? The girl was sick a few days ago, and the doctor ran to the house again and again, didn't you notice it at all? ”

"That's what my sister said. The slave maid really didn't pay attention to this, she used to be Miss Mulan—"

"Shh

Next to the small tree against the wall in the front yard, a maid who was embroidering the pattern in her hand grabbed the younger maid next to her, and pulled her sleeve hard, and the bluffing little maid stared wide-eyed and did not dare to squeak. The maid glanced left and right, then looked at her, and lowered her voice: "You still dare to mention her name?!" What the hell are you doing all day long, I don't know what happened to such a big thing. ”

"Ahh Slaves and maids are sweepers in the backyard and find some chores to do. Sister Tingshui, is something wrong with you being so cautious? Miao... Did she do anything to teach you such a taboo look..."

The little maid's blank expression taught Tingshui to roll her eyes, shook her head and said, "Where did the stupid girl come from, she only cared about doing things silently?" Remember, in the future, don't mention that person's name in the yard! ”

"Uh-huh, I remember!" Xiao Zhu nodded like garlic, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes, and said in a low voice, "But Sister Tingshui, you haven't said anything yet." We in the outer courtyard know that there are people who come and go every day, but they are not as smart and clever as Sister Tingshui and can serve the girl, something happened... But they don't know the details. ”

Ting Shuiyuan didn't want to talk to her, but he couldn't help but feel a little proud when he heard her envy and praise herself in such a tone. She looked at Xiao Zhu and said with satisfaction: "Well, look at your good behavior, I'll tell you." ”

She looked left and right, and when she saw that no one was paying attention, she was relieved. Ting Shui said to Xiao Zhu while playing with the tricks in his hand: "The girl is indeed sick, but she is not guilty of the old disease like the next day. After the doctor came to see it, he said that someone deliberately ate unclean things for the girl, which caused the girl to get sick! ”

Xiao Zhu was startled, and her eyes widened involuntarily.

She covered her mouth and made a voice in disbelief: "How dare anyone do this to a girl?" ”

"No, isn't that deadly?" Ting Shui sneered, "Look at the people in the mansion, which one is not a treasure of this girl." But there are really people who are a little tired of living and have hit the girl with their ideas. ”

Ting Shui lowered his voice and said: "You don't know about the outer courtyard, the general took care of all the subordinates that day, in order to thoroughly investigate this matter!" I searched every maid's house and things! In the end, it was the girl Mulan who found out! ”

"Huh?! Miss Mulan is not... Haven't you been following the girl? ”

"But isn't it, the medicine that the girl drinks only passes through her hands, who else but her? The general was almost furious, and ordered someone to drag Mulan down and beat him half to death, and now he will be thrown in prison, I heard..."

Ting Shui lowered his head and glanced around quickly: "I heard that Xiao Tao, who delivered the meal, said that he had been beaten and was not human, so he was about to run out of gas!" ”

When Xiao Zhu heard this, she couldn't help but turn pale: "That, so cruel? ”

"Ho! Murdering the master is a capital crime, where is the cruelty. Ting Shui sneered and gave her a strange look, "You don't have to be blindly sympathetic, if you let the general think that you have something to do with that Mulan, I'm afraid no one will worry about you." ”

After that, Ting Shui patted the corner of his clothes and shook his head: "Alas... It's..."

"Oops! I still haven't swept the ground! Xiao Zhu woke up like a dream, and jumped up suddenly, startling Ting Shui.

Ting Shui looked up and saw that Xiao Zhu had already run out quickly, and even forgot to take the broom on the side, as if someone was chasing her. Ting Shui frowned, lowered his head and muttered: "This girl is frizzy and frizzy in how she does things, and she still loses her ......."

Xiao Zhu ran all the way back to the courtyard and hurried back to the wing. There was only one maid resting in the room, and it was a little strange to see her restless appearance: "Xiaozhu, what's wrong with you?" Was he reprimanded by Mama? ”

"Nope." Xiao Zhu came back to her senses and smiled reluctantly, her eyes rolling, "I was startled when I saw several fish dead in that pond. Have you fed the fish today? ”

"Huh?!" The maid's face turned pale when she heard this, and as soon as she put down the things in her hand and walked out, "Don't scare me!" If the fish dies, Mama won't have to pull out my skin!" It's miserable—"

Seeing that the maid was leaving in a hurry, Xiao Zhu stood at the door and watched her go away before she breathed a sigh of relief. She turned around and closed the door, walked over to the bed, crouched down, and fumbled to remove the loose brick.

After taking out all the things inside, Xiao Zhu carefully counted them, and then relaxed slightly. She clutched the letter, glanced back at the door, and shoved it back.

"Little Dog, you're scared me to death, where are any fish dead?"

As soon as she stood up, the little girl returned. She frowned, looked at Xiao Zhu who had just stood up very dissatisfied, and said strangely, "What are you doing squatting?" ”

"I'm a little dizzy, I think I just read it wrong." Ju smiled slightly.

"Since you're not feeling well, let's sit down and rest." The little maid stepped forward to help her sit down with concern, and smiled with bent eyes, "There is a guest coming to the door today, and Mama asked us not to walk around outside, so as not to collide with others." ”

"Oh?" Xiao Zhu blinked her eyes and asked casually, "Who is here, so careful." ”

"Where do we know these things?" The little maid pursed her lips, "It must be some kind of big man, otherwise Mama wouldn't have told us so nervously." Forget it, it has nothing to do with us. ”

Xiao Zhu smiled: "Yes." ”

She rolled her eyes, but she knew very well in her heart: what can make the General's Mansion so vigilant and careful, now there is only one character in Jing Zhou...... The person that her master misses in his heart, the crown prince Shen Yang.

"What is he here for?" Gu Liyi picked up a handkerchief and wiped the medicine stains from the corners of Gu Mingxiu's mouth, frowned and waved his hand, "No, no, no." ”

Raising his hand to support the corner of his forehead, Qiao Wu looked at Gu Liyi with a disgusted look, and pointed: "It's really ruthless... They were still relatives with you. ”

Gu Liyi glared at him fiercely.

Mo Zhu and the others didn't understand what they said, so they simply didn't pay much attention to it, just looked at Gu Mingxiu.

"Just see." Gu Mingxiu covered her lips with a handkerchief, coughed lightly, and looked faint, "He wants to test me, why don't you make a show for him and let him be confused once." ”

She smiled leisurely: "Shen Yang thinks he is smart and a master of acting, why don't you compare it today to see who can do it." ”

Gu Mingxiu got up and smiled slightly: "Mozhu, give me makeup." ”

Shen Yang asked to see Gu Mingxiu, and naturally got General An's response. Although he didn't know what his granddaughter was thinking, General An didn't think that the prince would be bold enough to dare to do something to her in the mansion, so he simply listened to Gu Mingxiu's orders.

When Shen Yang followed people into the backyard, Gu Mingxiu was flipping through a book next to the small pool.

The beauty in purple is half leaning against the wooden railing, and the light yarn is on the wooden railing, swaying lightly on the water. The girl's posture is lazy and elegant, and her temperament is leisurely and light. She flipped through the scrolls, her face ruddy.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Gu Mingxiu raised his eyes.

The purple-clothed beauty has watery eyes, red lips and white teeth, and she doesn't see half of her sick color. She stared at the people who came from afar, showing her face, like a fairy painting in Yaochi, with a smile and a graceful demeanor.

Shen Yang's footsteps paused slightly, and a little surprise flashed in his eyes.

With the usual gentleness on his face, Shen Yang saw her and smiled slightly: "I heard that you are sick, why are you blowing the wind here?" ”

"Saying that you are sick is for outsiders, so why bother to make a show in your own yard." Gu Mingxiu smiled lightly, his voice was clear and light, without the slightest sign of weakness, "Besides, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a smart person, so it's not interesting to play with you." ”

She was half-drooping and languid.

"I heard that you were sick, and I was very worried, so I wanted to come and see you. Now that you are fine, I am naturally relieved. Shen Yang was stunned in his heart, and looked at her quietly: "You... But what happened? If you have any difficulties, you can tell me and I will definitely help you. ”

Shen Yang said softly: "I'm very happy that you don't want to make a show in front of me." ”

The heart was cold, Gu Mingxiu didn't look at him, and looked lacking in interest: "Hmm... Now that you see it, I'm fine, and I don't have any illness. Those are all deceived outsiders, but I don't dare to deceive Your Highness. ”

The girl curled her lips, and a few banters were fleeting.

Shen Yang's heart tightened, and the look of doubt jumped into his eyebrows. His face was even more gentle, and he did not show any anger: "You don't need to talk to me like this and try to provoke me. What I said before... It's all true, and I know that you don't believe in me and have some misunderstandings about me, and I will slowly make you trust me. ”

Gu Mingxiu tugged at the corners of his lips, not wanting to deal with him.

Shen Yang paused, and said softly: "That's the case... I won't bother you, you're not in good health, it's better to rest. I have brought some medicinal herbs and have already sent them to your yard. ”

Shen Yang sighed, turned around and walked away slowly.

He walked out of the distance and suddenly looked back.

The girl in purple just got up, closed the scroll casually, and walked towards the backyard. The light veil fluttered behind the girl, and her steps were light and steady, showing no weakness at all.

Shen Yang's eyes were slightly dark.

Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
