Mo Zhu couldn't make Gu Mingxiu quiet for a long time.

She got up with her makeup, and after a while, Gu Liyi accompanied An Li.

The little girl was wearing a light white coat, lazily leaning on the small table and her long hair was combed. The streamer cast a faint glow on her hair, and the hairpins placed on the table gave off a faint color. The little girl tilted her head, her eyes were calm and gentle, and her slender fingers rubbed the hairpin at will.

Her posture is lazy, puffing on the dignified and lazy beauty that only nobles have.

An Li was slightly stunned, and then stepped forward to call her with a smile: "Xiu'er." ”

"Mother." When Gu Mingxiu heard the voice, he looked back at her, and the smile in his eyes slightly shimmered a little pale color.

"Mother~ I said that Sister Xiu is fine, you don't believe me, you have to take a look for yourself." Gu Liyi cautiously looked at Gu Mingxiu's demeanor and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the other party, so he breathed a sigh of relief. She shook An Li's arm, pretending to be dissatisfied, and pouted, "Are you not believing what I say?" ”

An Li smiled and patted the back of her hand: "Where is this nonsense?" Your embroidery sister is not in good health, isn't it very normal for me to come and see her. Don't mess around. ”

Gu Liyi stuck out his tongue: "I don't make trouble." ”

An Li looked at Gu Mingxiu.

She carefully looked at her daughter's demeanor, did not let go of the slightest change in her demeanor, and said softly: "Xiu'er, you tell your mother honestly." Did you pass out last night because you were just tired? You have taken medicine these days, so don't hide it from me. She frowned slightly, and glanced at Qiao Wu outside the door, "Although Qiao Gongzi.... But your body, I don't feel at ease after all. ”

"Mother, don't worry." Gu Mingxiu said softly, "I've been under your nose all day, where do you feel uneasy?" The medicine is made in the small kitchen every day, and I am also drinking and replenishing it, where will it be bad. ”

"But what you did ....." An Li was silent for a moment, sighed, "I learned about last night's events from your uncle." Xiu'er, I know you have a claim, and your grandfather has told me this.... It's just, it's just Xiu'er, you're still a kid after all..."

"Mother." Gu Mingxiu saw that An Li was about to cry as she spoke, so she quickly sat up straight, stretched out her hand to cover the back of her hand, and said softly, "Mother, look, my grandfather believes in me, so don't doubt it, okay?" I'm just a kid... That's just in my mother's eyes, how many people see me as a thorn in their side, want to get rid of it, want to plot.... Where can I be a child? ”

She looked at An Li's expression, smiled slightly, leaned forward in An Li's arms, and comforted gently: "Mother, we have too many things.... I can't help myself. ”

An Li raised his hand to caress her back and sighed lowly.

"Xiu'er, mother... I just hope you can be well, and everything else is unimportant after all. ”

"Well, mother, Xiu'er knows."

She looked into the distance and closed her eyes slightly.

The news of Mulan's release spread throughout the courtyard in a matter of moments. At that time, the little maid was laboriously rubbing her clothes, and the two maids walking around in the corridor behind her with plates did not pay attention to her at all, but only exchanged their information in a low voice.

"I heard that Mulan was released?"

"yes.... You didn't see how badly she was beaten. I came with the people who brought her back, and I saw that the quilt was dyed red by half of the horns. I have to ask her for a doctor, and I don't know what the general thinks. ”

"Didn't she murder the girl?"

"I heard that it was cleared.... Not really. Although Mu Lan did some small things wrong, it was indeed that she was framed, and she did not really find out anything in her room. Thinking that she served the girl at the beginning, but now she is not bringing her back, I heard... I heard that there is still someone behind her who hasn't found out, otherwise, she would have been beaten to death a long time ago. ”

"Ahh It's really pitiful. ”

"Poor what, you don't have anything to do with her! The yard where she lives, no one dares to join her now, alas.... I don't know what kind of bad luck I had, I still have to help her deliver food, it's really unlucky! ”

"Then you'll have to be careful....."

Xiao Zhu's movement of rubbing her clothes slowly stopped, and she listened to the discussion behind her, her eyes flashed with a little surprise and a few thoughts. The little maid lowered her head and rubbed her clothes, but her mind flew away. She glanced around, and quickly got up to pick up the bucket next to the well.

The bucket was full, and Jull struggled to lift it up, but the next moment it slammed over—

The water was all over the floor, soaking her shoes. Xiao Zhu exclaimed, took a few steps back in a panic, and looked around helplessly. Her movements attracted the attention of the two people under the corridor, and they met each other's eyes, Xiao Zhu quickly turned her gaze, and lowered her head in a panic to clean up the overturned bucket.

The maid looked at her for a long time, suddenly smiled, walked over and scolded: "Where did the maid come from!" Clumsy with such rough hands and feet! It's so stupid to even do a laundry! ”

Xiao Zhu lowered her head in a panic: "Slave... The slave maid came from Yangzhou with the girl...."

The two maids exchanged glances, and one of them said "ah" and looked at her with a smile: "It turned out that she came from Yangzhou with the girl." That Mu Lan also came from Yangzhou with you, it just so happened that the girl asked her to bring her food, since you are together, you must have a good relationship, well, this guy will let you do it. ”

Xiao Ju's eyes widened: "Ah....? Deliver food to Sister Mulan? ”

"It's so affectionate, it must be really a good relationship!" The maid smiled and pushed her, stuffed the lunch box in her hand into her hand, saw the hesitation and embarrassment on Xiao Zhu's face, and said half-threateningly, "Go quickly!" If you delay your efforts and you can't wash the clothes when you come back, you just wait to starve! ”

"Sister, don't worry!" Xiao Zhu hurriedly picked up the lunch box and pulled down her sleeves, "I, I'll go!" Sister, don't tell Mama! ”

After she finished speaking, she ran in a panic along the path pointed by the other party, with an anxious and worried look on her face.

All the way to the small courtyard in the middle of nowhere, the more you walk, the fewer people on the road. When the road was almost out of sight, Xiao Ju paused, looked back again, and hurriedly ran over.

The small courtyard is remote and deserted, and when you walk inside, you can still smell the faint smell of blood.

Ju paused at the door, then pushed the door in. The furnishings inside are very simple, with a faint musty smell. Xiao Zhu walked in, and the smell of blood was reflected in her nose. When she walked in, she saw the girl lying on the bed.

Mulan's face was wiped clean, but there were still traces of being whipped. She was covered with a quilt and described as haggard and unfocused. She leaned back on the bed and stared into the distance, as if her whole body was trembling for me.

Xiao Zhu approached: "Mulan, are you okay?" ”

Mu Lan glanced at her, "What are you here for?" Her voice was hoarse, and she coughed more than a dozen times when she said a word, "You, cough cough, did you come to see me dead?" Or are you here to kill me? She looked at Xiao Zhu, her eyes glowing with a strange light, "Hehe, I'm useless, your girl wants me to die." ”

Somewhat hairy by her inexplicable staring, Xiao Zhu put the lunch box aside, avoiding her gaze: "No, Mulan, I'm worried about you." I.. Although I wanted to buy you at first, it's just that after so long, I have long regarded you as my sister, so how dare I kill you? She looked at Mu Lan cautiously, "The girl is so kind to you.... I feel so sorry for you. ”

"Heh, I want to take revenge on the girl, what I did myself, where do I need you to say something." The light under her eyes flashed, Mu Lan lay back and sneered: "What's so sad, I'm just a subordinate." ”

"But I'm a sister to you." Xiao Zhu said softly, "That... Was that girl really poisoned? That's what I did to you! ”

"Naturally, I was poisoned." Mu Lan said, and there was a bit of resentment in her eyes, "I obviously saw her drink it with my own eyes, but now she is still alive.....!" She seemed to have anger in her heart, and suddenly sat up straight and looked at Xiao Ju firmly, "That's not poison!" You don't want her to die?! ”

"Mulan, don't get excited!" Xiao Zhu was so shocked by her that she sat up, took two steps back, and was a little shocked, "That medicine, that medicine is not poison, our girl said that Gu Mingxiu must die, but the bottom of her eyes can't let her die so easily!" That's just trying to teach her a lesson, but don't worry, she'll die sooner or later! ”

"Why should I believe you?" Mu Lan sneered, "Although that medicine is useless, in the end, it still arouses suspicion for no reason, I advise you to go back and hide that medicine, don't be found." Scold.... lest you end up with me. ”

Xiao Zhu nodded: "Don't worry, I won't be found." Those medicines...," she said, looking around and lowering her voice, "Those pills are given every time, and there won't be any more." We already have connections in the General's Mansion, Mu Lan, if you are to be killed, he will also save you, and will never let you die! ”

Mu Lan sneered, without half a bit of belief on her face: "The dignified General's Mansion, where did you let Gu Changge say that he would release people?" Are you a fool to be General An? Although I don't read much, I'm not so easy to deceive in the end, and I won't betray you, why do you bother to fool me! ”

"What I said is true!" Xiao Zhu stomped her feet and said hurriedly, "My girl doesn't have that much ability, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does!" The girl made a covenant with His Highness early on, so she could naturally do these things! ”

She glanced outside and said in a low voice: "You have a good rest, I will come to see you next time, Mu Lan, you have to believe me, when the girl soars in the future, she will naturally have your benefits!" ”

Xiao Zhu said that, and hurriedly turned around and ran out.

Mu Lan watched her walk away indifferently.

In the middle of the night, someone casually walked out of the secret door on the other side.

When Mu Lan saw the comer, she restrained the emotions on her face and smiled slightly: "Girl! ”

Gu Mingxiu raised her eyes and looked at her lightly.

Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
