Chapter 72, the angry Shen Huai
After Agarwood and the others moved everything into the General's Mansion, under the arrangement of the Xu family, they quickly vacated the small building in the South Courtyard, cleaned up and let Gu Mingxiu move in. When An Li came back with General An, it was two hours later, and at that time, Gu Mingxiu drank the medicine and rested, An Li secretly came to see it, sighed and left.
"You didn't see it, girl, how long the faces of the second lady and Aunt Dong were-" Miao Lan couldn't help but be quiet when she saw Gu Mingxiu sitting quietly at the head of the bed after waking up, and couldn't help but describe the matter of Gu Mansion to her during the day, "Old Madam Gu got the news, so she was angry and sent someone to stop her." But those people in the General's Mansion are so powerful that they didn't let half of them hinder us from packing up our things. ”
She said that she was colorful, and she also learned from Gu Mingxiu that Dong Qing gritted her teeth.
Gu Mingxiu smiled, shook his head and said: "That's for others to see, Gu Qingyuan and his mother are reconciled and separated, Gu Changge and Dong Qing are very happy to think about it." ”
"Girl, why do you think that?" Mu Lan frowned and said with a smile, "General An is such a powerful person, that is much better than the Gu family's backer!" The second lady wants to bully you in the future, and she has to think about it again, and she is naturally very uncomfortable in her heart! ”
Glancing at Miao Lan thoughtfully, Gu Mingxiu said: "Without a mother, then Dong Qing is naturally not wrong to be put in the position of a wife, and Gu Changge and Gu Xiaodie are naturally no longer concubines, but serious concubines, and they are naturally happy." ”
"It's just that Gu Xuan is in prison now, and I'm afraid they won't laugh much." She smiled slightly, and then when she turned to Mu Lan, her voice faded, and she said lightly, "You lost your words, the general's mansion's mother's home, the backer and the like....don't let anyone know." ”
Gu Mingxiu rarely looked at them coldly, and there was no anger at this moment, and he unconsciously felt a little chill in his heart.
Mu Lan was stunned, and then came back to her senses, with a little grievance on her face: "Yes, girl, the slave knows." ”
She didn't speak again, Agarwood happened to walk in, and replied in a low voice: "Girl, the general's mansion has given orders to the people in the prison, I'm afraid that Gu Xuan's life will not be easy these days." ”
Gu Mingxiu said "um" and asked her, "Can you sneak into the prison without being discovered?" ”
Agarwood thought for a while and replied: "The slave can give it a try, and it is about seventy percent sure." ”
"That's enough." Gu Mingxiu pointed to a small box on the dresser, and said lightly, "You give that thing to Gu Xuan, it's best to feed him, if you can't, it doesn't matter, do what you can." ”
Agarwood picked up the small box on the dresser and shook her head: "The slave knows." ”
When the agarwood retreated, Gu Mingxiu lowered his eyes and fell into contemplation. Mu Lan stood silently and looked at her girl, and did not speak for a long time. Mo Zhu opened the curtain and walked in, and said softly: "Girl, it's time to rest, if there is anything, just do it tomorrow." ”
Gu Mingxiu nodded, and only after the two of them served themselves to change their clothes did they turn off the lights and retreat.
The night was dark, and there was a faint incense in the air. In the moonlight, the wick of the candle that had just been extinguished was still surrounded by pale white smoke, flying upwards and disappearing into the air.
Gu Mingxiu quietly stared at the half of the candle and the smoke on the candle. She was half-leaning on the couch, not lying down, her eyes faint, not knowing what she was thinking. His eyes fell into the smoke, and suddenly the white smoke twisted to the side, as if it had been stirred.
She sighed softly and said lightly, "I thought that the General's Mansion would be able to stop you," her gaze slowly moved to the extra person in front of the table, and her voice sank again, "His Royal Highness King Xiao." ”
Casually flicked the cloak on his shoulders and accurately draped it on the person on the bed. The careless young man sat on her couch casually, and his black jade-like eyes were cold and gloomy, with a little displeasure: "It turned out that I was allowed to move the Gu Mansion because I drew a clear line with the Gu Mansion." ”
The girl looked at him and did not speak.
"It's just that how do you know, the General's Mansion...."Shen Huai curled the corners of his lips and stared at her with a smile, "Is there any of the Jinyi Guard's list now?" ”
"How much the Son of Heaven trusts His Highness, how much he trusts the General's Mansion." Gu Mingxiu spoke slowly, she raised her eyes to meet Shen Huai's gaze, and her voice sank slightly, with a little displeasure, "My alliance with His Highness should also end here, and what happens after that, it should not matter." ”
Sensing the annoyance in the person's tone, Shen Huai raised his eyebrows and looked at her, and sneered: "What, Miss Gu not only doesn't plan to repay her kindness now, but also plans to be a hands-off shopkeeper?" This king has to retreat when he runs out of this chess piece. ”
Shen Huai came inexplicably today, but Gu Mingxiu intuitively felt that this person would definitely come.
"The courtiers don't dare." Gu Mingxiu moved back a little quietly. She could see that Shen Huai was inexplicably angry now, and this anger was a bit fierce, but it was indeed aimed at her.
Shen Huai looked at her fixedly for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "Gu Mingxiu, do you love the prince?" ”
The tone of the words was very strange.
The young man asked casually, his voice was cold, there was no smile in his eyes, and it was dark and frightening. He saw that the girl opposite was silent for a moment, and his eyes were cold inch by inch, as cold as soaked in frost and snow. The corners of the girl's lips lifted slightly, and her voice was gentle and indifferent: "His Royal Highness King Xiao, you are too wide." ”
Shen Huai was laughed at by her: "This king thought about it carefully, you showed a little cleverness in front of the prince to attract his attention, and openly put yourself on the cusp of the storm at the palace banquet. Although Gu Xuan is a chess piece of the Gu family, he is not as good as the treasure knife of the General's Mansion. If Gu Xuan is abandoned because of you, the prince has nothing to lose. ”
"You sent Gu Xuan to prison, and you returned to the General's Mansion at this moment."
"Do you dare to say that you don't love the prince and want to marry him?"
Shen Huai smiled very gently, but his tone was very cold. Without waiting for Gu Mingxiu to react, he got up, stared at her for a long time, brushed off his robe and turned away, his steps were hurried and full of anger: "This king will never agree!" ”
Gu Mingxiu: "........"
King Xiao is simply sick! Be all abroad!
Gu Mingxiu almost didn't sleep all night, and soon after getting up the next day, Gu Liyi came over.
As soon as she entered the door, she ran to Gu Mingxiu's side happily, looked at her happily and pulled her hair, and said to her: "Sister Xiu, Dong Qing was arrested and put in prison by Jing Zhaoyin, and Gu Mansion is now in chaos like a pot of porridge." Gu Qingyuan couldn't see Jing Zhaoyin, and he couldn't go to see Dong Qing and Gu Xuan. ”
"The General's Mansion is not called the General's Mansion for nothing, don't say that it was from the man's mouth that Dong Qing was tortured." Gu Mingxiu lowered his eyelashes, his tone was very cold, with a faint smile, "Dong Qing still thinks that he can be a wife, and Gu Changge also thinks that he can become a concubine, they don't mind this, then I want them to remember." ”
Gu Liyi nodded, and the smile in her tone couldn't be hidden: "Teach her to be arrested before she was straightened, with the things she did, I can't think of it." It's a shame that a good show is coming to an end before you can watch it closely. ”
Gu Mingxiu bent the corners of his lips and did not speak.
There was a bit of hesitation in his expression, and Gu Liyi looked at Gu Mingxiu without speaking. Sensing that something was wrong with the person, Gu Mingxiu glanced at her and said lightly: "Mu Lan, you guys go out first." ”
Mu Lan, who had just come in, was stunned, glanced at Mo Zhu, who had already combed Gu Ming's hair and was about to go out, silently put down the things in her hand and went out with her.
Looking back at the closed door, Mu Lan whispered: "Do you say that the girl is angry with me, in the past, Miss Fifth talked to her in the room, and she never drove us away." ”
Mo Zhu comforted her: "Where is the matter, there must be some side reasons." Okay, let's do things, don't think about it. ”
In the room, Gu Liyi sighed and said softly: "Sister Xiu, yesterday you fainted at the gate of the mansion, and I met a Taoist priest. She paused, hesitated for a long time before making up her mind, "He said that we shouldn't have survived here, and that our lives were borrowed from others, not our own." ”
After she finished speaking cautiously, the girl in front of her looked faint and asked, "Oh? What else did he say. ”
Carefully observing Gu Mingxiu's expression, Gu Liyi said slowly: "At that time, I was worried about you in my heart, and besides, I was still at the gate of the General's Mansion, so I didn't dare to say more to him." He said that he embroidered his sister's life and asked others to borrow it, and the borrowed things were not his own, so he naturally had to pay them back, and said... He also said that the track has deviated from its original destiny. ”
"He spoke strangely, like he was joking, but when I looked at him, I felt that he was not lying."
Gu Mingxiu lowered his eyes and didn't speak for a long time.
Raising his hand to hold her hand, Gu Liyi asked softly: "Naturally, if it's still not true....Sister Xiu, is our life really someone else's?" If we pay it back, will it be gone, will we still end up like the previous life? ”
"Is that man telling the truth?" Gu Liyi asked in a low voice, there was already a little mist in his eyes, his voice was aggrieved, and he seemed to be about to cry when he saw it.
Raising his hand and touching Gu Liyi's head, Gu Mingxiu smiled slightly: "Naturally not, Gu Xuan is going to die soon, and Dong Qing can't escape." The General's Mansion is fine now, his mother is alive, and he has reconciled with his grandfather, how can it be exactly the same as in the previous life? She smiled faintly, "We should go and send my aunt off." ”
"After all, she won't see her children before she dies, and she won't be able to see Gu Qingyuan, so we should go and say goodbye to her."
Gu Mingxiu paused, wiped away the tears that fell from the corners of Gu Liyi's eyes, and coaxed her with a smile: "Just go and see the Taoist priest who pretends to be a ghost again, whether he is a liar or not, you will know the truth after a try, Yiyi, do you know where he is now." ”
"I know, he said that when Sister Xiu woke up, he would look for him under the shade of the willow tree on Dongxiang Street."
