Since Concubine Xie Guifei handed over the two major cases of the palace to Yu Ruyan, compared to An Lan's child, Yu Ruyan had more headaches about Gu Qing'er's death, because she knew that An Lan's child had an accident, with An Lan's temperament and the degree of cherishing of that child, she herself would never let go of the murderer who killed her child, and as long as she helped her in the back, I believe that she would soon be able to find out who was behind the scenes. 【Fengyun Reading Network. 】%d7%cf%d3%c4%b8%f3

On the contrary, it was Gu Qing'er's death, not only had it been too long, but there was not a trace of clues, and even someone as shrewd as Mu Lingzhi was at a loss.

In the past few days, Yu Ruyan has also been very sad, and she doesn't know where to start with the case in Ziluo Courtyard?

It wasn't until last night in the Okra Courtyard that she saw Yuan'er who wanted to stop talking, and a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she suddenly remembered that there was no one else who had a direct relationship with Gu Qing'er and was also in contact with the outside world, except for her Yahuan Dongcao!

And these seemingly obscure girls in the house, many dark things can't escape their eyes.

So, think before and after. In the case of Gu Qing'er in Ziluo Courtyard, she could only start from Dongcao.

Dongcao suddenly heard Yu Ruyan's words, and his whole body shuddered, as if he was startled, and raised his head to look at Yu Ruyan with a frightened face!

In the next second, Dongcao's actions startled Yu Ruyan, who had been staring at her.

Dongcao seemed to remember the tragic situation when Gu Qing'er died, and suddenly held his head and trembled in fear, looking extremely frightened and frightened, and then, he fell straight to the ground with a 'plop', foaming at the mouth, and his whole body convulsed.

This sudden change really scared everyone in the room half to death.

Yu Ruyan reacted quickly, and while repeatedly ordering people to hurry up and invite Dr. Wu to come over, she asked people to lift the winter grass on the ground and put it on the couch.

There was an older girl on the side who seemed to have seen this kind of disease, and hurriedly said: "Princess, the slave maid has also seen this kind of disease when she was in her hometown before, and I heard the doctor say that when the patient is sick, she is not allowed to move her body."

Listening to what the girl said, the girls who just wanted to step forward to carry the winter grass were too frightened to do anything, and Yu Ruyan was also afraid that moving her without permission would hurt her, so she had to watch the winter grass twitching on the ground at a loss, and the appearance was really terrifying.

Brother An was frightened from the beginning, but then he seemed to think of something, and whispered in Yu Ruyan's ear: "Princess, looking at her appearance, she must have done something bad and was afraid, maybe the poison of arsenic was caused by her, and the Gu clan and the child in her womb were also killed by her, and the princess quickly ordered someone to arrest her."

Yu Ruyan's heart was also full of doubts, but the thoughts in her heart were exactly the opposite of Brother An.

If Dongcao was really afraid of being timid because she had done something bad in her heart, then as early as when Mu Lingzhi interrogated her, why didn't she show symptoms or abnormalities, but now she suddenly became scared after so long after the incident?

In an instant, many thoughts flashed through Yu Ruyan's heart----

Dongcao's reaction was indeed very strange, making it easy to be suspicious of her, but Yu Ruyan remembered her previous intimate care and loyalty to Gu Qing'er, but she didn't want to believe that the murderer was her!

If she really wanted to harm Gu Qing'er, she didn't need to put arsenic in Gu Qing'er's medicine at all, and directly ignored her when An Lirong gave Gu Qing'er yellow heart grass, just stood by and let her become a living dead.

And Yu Ruyan also thought that when Gu Qing'er was poisoned by arsenic, she still ran to ask Yu Ruyan for help, and Gu Qing'er mentioned one thing to Yu Ruyan before, that is, Gu Qing'er was stiff and weak by the poison of yellow heart grass, and when she tripped and tripped over for a walk in the yard, she almost fell on the child in her belly, but it was Dong Cao who used her body as a cushion for Gu Qing'er to protect the master, so as to save the child in her belly

All of this shows that Dongcao can be said to be sacrificing his life to protect Gu Qing'er, how could such a loyal servant of the Lord put arsenic in the medicine.

Having said that, when she heard that Yu Ruyan was going to investigate the matter of Ziluo Courtyard today, she was unexpectedly flustered and excited

The fog in my heart is getting bigger and bigger, and the truth seems to be about to surface, but it is becoming more and more blurred. Yu Ruyan fell back into the chair and sat down with a headache, and said to Brother An: "Before there is no evidence, everything can only be speculation, now let's wait for the doctor to come and cure her illness." ”

At this moment, Dr. Wu rushed over with the medicine box, and when he entered the house and saw the winter grass lying on the ground, he frowned, and couldn't help muttering: "Hey, why is this girl sick again?" ”

After that, it was too late to ask Yu Ruyan for peace, Dr. Wu was already kneeling on one knee on the ground, and did not check the pulse of Dongcao, directly took out the silver needle from the needle bag, and applied the needle to her very quickly, and opened her eyelids to look at it, and after a quarter of an hour passed, Dr. Wu pulled out the silver needle, at that time, Dongcao had stopped twitching, and no longer foaming at the mouth, but returned to normal.

Dongcao woke up and sat on the ground in a daze, not coming to her senses for a long time, as if she didn't know that she had just been sick, let alone that she had taken a trip from the ghost gate, and stayed stupidly until she saw Dr. Wu, and then remembered that she was sick again just now, and snorted: "Dr. Wu, I'm causing you trouble again." ”

Doctor Wu said to Dongcao very worriedly in front of Yu Ruyan: "I once told you, don't get too emotional, keep your mood relaxed. Otherwise, it is very dangerous to start the disease. ”

Dongcao hung her head weakly and didn't say anything, Yu Ruyan saw that she was stained with vomiting sloppy things, asked her to go down to wash and rest first, and after she left, she opened her mouth and asked Dr. Wu: "What kind of illness did she get, and how long has she been sick?" ”

After Dr. Wu respectfully greeted Yu Ruyan and told her that Dongcao had a rare convulsive disease, and at the onset of the disease, the whole body was convulsed and unconscious, foaming at the mouth, and he was delirious, and he would lose his life if he was not careful, and there was no cure.

looked at Yu Ruyan's surprised expression. Doctor Wu said: "There is no way to find out how long she has been ill, but in the half year of this palace, Xiao Ke has seen her sick three times." Looking at her appearance, it is estimated that this disease has followed her for some years. ”

Yu Ruyan's eyes flashed slightly, and she asked, "I don't know when her first two episodes were?" Do you remember Dr. Wu? ”

Doctor Wu thought for a moment and said solemnly: "I remember, the first time was about half a year ago in Bihe Courtyard, she was sick, but when I rushed over, she had already woken up; The second time was in the handyman's room not long ago. And then today it got sick again. ”

Hearing him mention Kuang Qinqin's Bihe Courtyard, Yu Ruyan's expression was slightly stunned. Doubts flashed in her eyes, she frowned unconsciously, and said in a deep voice: "Then Doctor Wu still remembers that the first time she became ill in Bihe Courtyard was before and after the Gu clan died of arsenic in Ziluo Academy?" ”

"After that." Doctor Wu replied firmly without thinking about it, "This Xiao Ke remembers very clearly, because when there was an accident in the Ziluo Courtyard, Xiao Ke accompanied His Royal Highness to inspect the corpse of the Gu family, and this little girl was also there at the time, and I heard that she was the only maid serving by the Gu family's side." His Royal Highness also asked her a lot of details about the Gu family's accident at that time, and Xiao Ke still remembered that at that time, she also avenged the princess in front of His Royal Highness, saying that the princess would not harm her master, and the princess was a good person. ”

"Later, about half a month after Gu's accident, Xiao Ke was called to Bihe Hospital for treatment, and she was the one who became ill, so the memory is still deep."

After listening to Dr. Wu's words, Yu Ruyan's doubts deepened, and she couldn't figure out a clue at all.

Although she didn't think that Dongcao was the murderer of Gu Qing'er, she vaguely felt in her heart that Dongcao knew some hidden secrets about Gu's affairs.

It's just that if she really knows something as she expected, then with her loyalty to Gu Qing'er, she should tell Mu Lingzhi what she knows when he investigates the murderer, and cooperate with him to find out the murderer who endangered Gu Qing'er, why should she hide it?

In Yu Ruyan's previous perception of Dongcao, she was a very simple and kind girl, when the Gu clan lost power. She has been loyally guarding Gu Qing'er's side, and when she saw her master tripping, she actually used her body to cushion her master, and in order to save Gu Qing'er, she knelt in the mud and begged herself. When Gu Qing'er was poisoned, she also cried with grief, such a real feeling, Yu Ruyan believed that she would not be mistaken.

Doctor Wu had already left Yunsong Courtyard and went back, Yu Ruyan held her forehead and frowned, and after a while, her eyes flashed, and she asked Brother An to call Mother Liu again.

Mother Liu was brought to Yu Ruyan again, she didn't understand what was going on, she was uneasy in her heart, and she only dared to kneel obediently.

Without waiting for her to say goodbye, Yu Ruyan, who was at the top, had already slowly spoken: "I heard that since Her Royal Highness established the mansion, Mother Liu has been managing the deployment arrangements of the subordinates in the mansion, and she knows every subordinate who enters the mansion to serve. Since this is the case, Mother Liu will explain the origin of the winter grass and its performance in the house over the years. ”

Mother Liu, a ghost-like person, saw that Yu Ruyan looked for herself twice today for the sake of Dongcao, and Dongcao was a person who had served the Gu clan before, and suddenly understood in her heart. The new princess seems to be going to find out about the headless case in the palace.

Thinking about behaving well in front of Yu Ruyan, Liu Ma didn't dare to be sloppy, and carefully told Yu Ruyan about the winter grass in detail----

"About five years ago, the palace recruited a group of servants from outside, at that time this little girl volunteered to enter the house as a slave, but at that time she had no guarantor, and no parents and relatives came forward, the old slave saw that she was unknown, and did not dare to let her enter the house, but she begged to enter the house, and said that she did not sell herself for money, nor did she need to be paid, as long as she could enter the house as an errand."

"The more she is so old slave, the more strange she feels, afraid that she entered the house for another purpose, and forced her to tell the truth, and later she admitted that she entered the house to repay the original master, but as for who the original master was, she didn't say it, just a strong guarantee, absolutely obedient and obedient."

Later, when the old slave saw that she was pitiful, he let her in, and after entering the house, he had been doing chores in the kitchen. But as she herself said, she was very well-behaved and obedient, diligent and honest, and the old slave gradually became relieved of her, so she didn't pay much attention to her. ”

"But later, after the closure of the Ziluo Courtyard, the maids in that courtyard were ordered by His Royal Highness to be beaten and driven out of the palace, but the Gu clan still had to be served because she was pregnant, so she had to re-select the girl to serve in the Ziluo Courtyard, but at that time, no girl was willing to go to the Ziluo Courtyard to be an errand in a place where there was no future, and the old slave was in trouble. Unexpectedly, this girl took the initiative to come to the door and said that she was willing to go to Ziluo Courtyard on an errand. ”

"She is willing to go, of course the old slave can't ask for it, and she usually does things in a down-to-earth manner, so the old slave allowed her and let her go."

"After Gu's death, the old slave thought that she was honest and well-behaved, and originally wanted to arrange her to go to the courtyard of other aunts on an errand, but everyone disliked her for coming out of the obscure place of Ziluo Courtyard, and no courtyard was willing to accept her, but Aunt Kuang of Bihe Courtyard took the initiative to ask her to go to Bihe Courtyard on an errand. But I didn't expect that this girl didn't want to go, and she asked to go to the most bitter place like the miscellaneous room."

Hearing that Mother Liu also mentioned Bihe Courtyard, a bright light suddenly flashed in Yu Ruyan's mind.

Her eyes sank, and she interrupted Liu's mother's chattering words, and said coldly: "Dongcao is usually in the house, is it the closest to the people in Bihe Courtyard?" ”

Mother Liu was stunned by her abrupt words, and said with an embarrassed face: "This old slave doesn't know, because usually these slaves and maids are in private activities, but the old slave can't control so much, but it's ----"

She frowned and thought for a while: "When Dongcao was on an errand in the kitchen before, she seemed to have learned to cook a dish with the guys in the kitchen very seriously, called Su Sanxian, and then there was a cold and flu in Aunt Kuang, she seemed to have made this dish and sent it to Ziluo Yuan."

Hearing the name of this dish, Yu Ruyan's whole body was shocked, her eyes were cold, and she seemed to feel that something she hadn't expected was about to break through the ground

She suppressed the coldness in her heart and asked word by word: "Does Mother Liu know which Qinglou in the Eastern Capital was born in Aunt Kuang before she was good?" ”

Mother Liu said with a sneering face: "It is said that Aunt Kuang was the top Qing Qi'er of the most famous Qin Xianglou in the Eastern Capital before Congliang, and later gave it to His Royal Highness because she was ransomed by His Royal Highness. ”

As soon as he heard the three words of Qin Xianglou, Yu Ruyan's whole body sank. But Brother An changed his face when he heard this

At noon, Tong Qian returned home and told Yu Ruyan that Mu Lingzhi was going to accompany Concubine Xie to dine in the palace and couldn't come back. Yu Ruyan thought about her heart and hummed gently.

In the past, she knew that Mu Ling would be very busy when he returned to the Eastern Capital, the government affairs of the court, and the military affairs, and now that he was on the altar, he was very busy, so Yu Ruyan understood him very much, and she didn't want him to worry about the affairs of the palace anymore.

Had lunch. Yu Ruyan didn't have time to rest, so she asked Brother An to wait for her to change her clothes and prepare to go out.

Brother An took her a lotus lotus dress, Yu Ruyan glanced at it, and asked her to change her akane swirl yarn embroidered dress, Brother An was slightly stunned, and couldn't help asking: "Doesn't the princess usually dislike bright dresses, such a red swirl pattern yarn embroidered skirt has always been too gorgeous since it was made, and she doesn't like to wear it very much, why do you think of wearing it today?" ”

Looking at the curiosity in Brother An's eyes, Yu Ruyan said in a cold tone: "Today I want to meet the enemy from before for a while." So. It has to be done with momentum. ”

Brother An was even more curious after hearing this, his eyes sparkled at her, and Yu Ruyan said coldly: "If it weren't for hearing Mother Liu mention Qin Xianglou today, this princess would have forgotten that this princess used to be there, but she had a big heel, and you"

If Brother An's life was ruined in the hands of Mu Ziyang, then Qin Xianglou's old bustard Qiu's mother and those nursing homes who helped in the abuse were also the most hateful accomplices.

The words that came to her mouth were taken back by Yu Ruyan stiffly, thinking of Brother An's previous experience and unsatisfactory life, Yu Ruyan's eyes flashed slightly, and she couldn't help but take her hand and said, "You and I have both suffered losses in Qin Xianglou." Now, it's time to ask Qin Xianglou for it. ”

Hearing that she was going to Qin Xianglou, Brother An took a step back when he heard the tiger----

That place was the nightmare of her life, and although she hated it, she was afraid to face it again.

Just at a glance, Yu Ruyan understood the panic and fear in Brother An's eyes, she sighed, looked at her with pity in her eyes, and said softly: "If you don't want to go, wait for me in the mansion, I'll take Dongcao there." Don't worry, I'll help you get back those debts. ”

Dongcao changed her clothes and followed Yu Ruyan out of the house, Yu Ruyan didn't tell her where to go, so she naturally didn't dare to ask.

Kankan walked to the gate of the palace, Brother An panted and chased after him from behind, his eyes were full of tenacity, and he said to Yu Ruyan seriously: "Princess, I will go with you." ”

Yu Ruyan's trip was still very simple and low-key, except for the driver who drove the car, he brought two maid rings by his side, and he didn't bring one more person.

Brother An couldn't help but be a little worried when he saw her, and saw that she didn't bring anyone. If Qin Xianglou's mother Qiu initiates a ruthless attack, those nurses in Qin Xianglou are all outlaws.

Yu Ruyan didn't pay attention to Brother An's worries, and closed his eyes all the way, Brother An looked worried, and Dongcao was also worried.

She was just worried because she was afraid that Yu Ruyan would continue to ask about Gu Qing'er.

But later, seeing that Yu Ruyan didn't ask about it again, she relaxed a little.

The carriage came to Qin Xianglou unimpeded all the way, and when he got off the car, when he saw the destination, Dongcao's face turned white.

Kankan's feet stepped out of the carriage and involuntarily retracted, and she trembled: "Princess, the slave and the slave are a little uncomfortable. Slaves and maids waiting for their masters in the carriage"

Her reaction was in Yu Ruyan's expectation, her eyes swept over her face, and Yu Ruyan said coldly: "When you get here, how many things do you think I don't know?!" ”

Hearing this, Dongcao's whole body trembled like chaff, and his face was already white as a piece of paper, but he didn't dare to say anything more, gritted his teeth and lowered his head to follow Yu Ruyan.

In the afternoon, before Qin Xianglou officially opened, the girls in the building began to dress up and prepare for the evening business.

When Yu Ruyan led Brother An Dongcao to step in, it was too late to stand firm in the lobby, and the thugs in the nursing home in the building thought that it was a lady who came to the building to find her husband to make trouble, and was ready to come up to pick up people, but seeing that they were dressed very luxuriously, they didn't dare to drive people away. A big-shouldered and thick-waisted dang, with hanging eyes and a toothpick in his mouth, stepped forward to let them out in an unkind tone, saying that Qinglou did not accept female guests.

Yu Ruyan's half-constricted eyelids lifted slightly, and a cold gaze swept over, Brother An understood. Without saying a word, he stepped forward and slapped the man in the face of the tall nurse.

'Smack! With this slap, Brother An used all his strength, so he beat it firmly, and beat the nursing home with a bad attitude to the stupefied, looking at the three young girls in front of him in disbelief, and the toothpicks fell out of his mouth in shock.

This crisp slap was particularly loud in the quiet lobby, and everyone couldn't help but look sideways, Qiu's mother was coming from the back hall, and when she saw this scene, she was stunned, but her face was dyed with anger in the next moment. Hurry up and walk towards the lobby----

Qin Xianglou has been standing in the Eastern Capital for decades, not to mention its famous name, but also got acquainted with countless dignitaries and nobles in the Eastern Capital, even the eldest prince of the dynasty is a guest in the building, and her mother Qiu is really not afraid of anyone!

Besides, this competition is jealous, and the main owner of the family has not seen her less than she has found trouble in the building, not to mention a year, she has to meet several times in a month, so, these chick-like owners of the back house. Her mother Qiu is even more invisible.

Before Qiu's mother had time to walk into the lobby, the beaten nursing home had already come to her senses, and rushed forward angrily, and the hammer-like fist was about to smash down on Brother An's body.

The sturdy body of the nursing home knocked over several tables in the lobby, and he couldn't stand up straight on the ground for a long time!

This sudden change not only surprised Qiu's mother, but even Yu Ruyan was shocked, and the others looked at the scene in front of them in amazement. Stupidly stunned.

After the black shadow kicked over the nursing home, he had already dodged and stood behind Yu Ruyan, ready to protect her at any time.

The black shadow man Yu Ruyan is no stranger, it is the secret guards beside Mu Lingzhi, but what she didn't expect was that these secret guards were protecting themselves in the dark anytime and anywhere, which really surprised her.

Qiu's mother had noticed that the situation was different, and she couldn't help but look at Yu Ruyan, but after such a long time, she couldn't remember who Yu Ruyan was, but she felt a little familiar, and Brother An kept standing with her back to her, so Mother Qiu didn't recognize Brother An.

Yu Ruyan's dress and the fierce momentum exuded from her whole body made her inexplicably timid. A bad thought flashed in her heart, feeling that something big was going to happen in this building today, and she dared to reappear there, and was about to sneak away to the backyard to call someone, but at this moment, a cold voice sounded slowly behind her----

"Mother Qiu, don't come unharmed!"

Qiu's mother was shocked, and she suddenly understood that this menacing woman did not come to the building to make trouble with her husband, but to seek revenge against her!
