Chapter 4: The Place of Death

"What's wrong?"

Gu Qinghuan was puzzled, she saw that Zhiqiu's expression was unusual, so she asked, "If there is anything important, just say it." ”

"Miss, your grooming skills are so high-"

When Zhiqiu heard this, his eyes lit up, and his face was full of expectation: "Can you dress up the slave maid as the first beauty in the world?" ”

Gu Qinghuan: "......"

Syllable!

In the next second, Zhiqiu covered his reddened forehead with teary eyes.

"When is it, do you still have time to think about this?" Gu Qinghuan was impressed by the rough nerves of his maid.

"Didn't Miss say, just say anything important......" Zhiqiu is very aggrieved, isn't a woman's appearance the most important thing in the world?

"You're a ...... Well, let's talk about these things later. ”

Gu Qinghuan sighed and gave up treating his maid, "Let's go, let's ...... Go home! ”

Thinking about her previous life, it was precisely because she missed the opportunity to defend herself that her already unbearable reputation was not broken at all, and it also affected her father and brother in the court.

It was also at that time that the Gu family showed signs of decline.

She must not repeat the old path of her previous life, and must redeem everything before the decline appears!

……

Gu Qinghuan and Zhiqiu walked out of the room and towards the courtyard.

"As long as you hide the two mothers-in-law sent by the old lady at the gate of the courtyard, no one else in Guining Temple will recognize the young lady."

Zhiqiu whispered, came to the courtyard with Gu Qinghuan, and raised his voice: "Hey, thank you so much, Sister Cirrus, who specially accompanied me to the kitchen to bring dinner for Miss." ”

As he spoke, the two crossed the threshold of the courtyard, and two chatting mothers-in-law were guarding the door.

Zhiqiu's back is dripping with cold sweat, as long as he crosses here, he can leave......

Praying in his heart, Zhiqiu hugged Gu Qinghuan's arm tightly, and the two crossed the threshold and took a few steps.

Farther away from the door, Zhiqiu gradually relaxed, which can be regarded as a ......

"Wait a minute!"

At this moment, a voice sounded from behind, it was the mother-in-law guarding the door!

Hearing the voice, Zhiqiu's heart suddenly tightened, and he grabbed Gu Qinghuan's sleeve.

Gu Qinghuan signaled her to calm down with her eyes.

Zhiqiu took a breath lightly, turned his head, his face remained silent, and asked the two mothers-in-law, "What's wrong?" ”

"Are the girls going to the kitchen?"

One of the mothers-in-law flattered: "Why don't you leave this kind of strength work to us?" ”

When Zhiqiu heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it turned out that he didn't see the problem, but wanted to please her and "Cirrus".

"No need."

Zhiqiu said: "You two stay at the door, just don't let the young lady run out." ”

"Yes." How dare that mother-in-law offend Zhiqiu? She's the celebrity in front of the eldest lady!

At this time, the mother-in-law next to her stared at Gu Qinghuan's back for a long time, and couldn't help but say, "Miss Cirrus ...... today." It looks a little different. ”

It's just that I can't tell you what the difference is.

Zhiqiu's expression froze, although Gu Qinghuan's disguise skills were high, her size could not be changed, and this woman was very sharp-eyed......

"Cirrus Girl?" The mother-in-law saw that Gu Qinghuan didn't speak, and couldn't help but wonder if she cried.

Zhiqiu's heart tightened, no! As soon as the young lady opens her mouth, she will reveal the filling! She's got to fool this womanβ€”

"I look different?"

At this moment, a voice as crisp as a yellow oriole sounded next to Zhiqiu's ears.

It took a lot of effort for Zhiqiu to not write the shock on her face, and as soon as she turned her eyes, she saw Gu Qinghuan beside her turn her head slightly, and showed the two mothers-in-law a plausible silhouette: "It's probably because the weather is bad, you're dazzled." ”

Hearing this voice that was no different from usual, the woman put away her suspicions and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, it's probably because I'm dizzy, but now I look at it, Cirrus Miss is no different from usual......"

Another mother-in-law gloated, and let you break your mouth and say that you have these things that you don't have, offending people, right?

"Zhiqiu, let's go." Gu Qinghuan said, squeezing Zhiqiu's hand from an angle that no one could see.

Zhiqiu came back to his senses and nodded again and again: "Okay, okay." ”

With that, the two walked away.

It wasn't until the two mothers-in-law behind him couldn't see it that Zhiqiu let out a long breath and looked at Gu Qinghuan with surprised eyes: "Miss, how did your voice turn into a cirrus cloud just now?" ”

Gu Qinghuan's voice was quiet and gentle, but it was born with a faint style, while Cirrus Cloud's voice was as crisp as a yellow oriole.

But just now, the voice of Gu Qinghuan and the two mothers-in-law was not quiet and indifferent at all, but crisp and lively, exactly the same as the voice of Cirrus Cloud!

Zhiqiu felt his brain dizzy, "You can't be guided by an immortal, right?" How could it be...... Such a miracle? ”

"It's just a small skill of carving insects, just practice more." Gu Qinghuan said lightly, without explaining too much.

Zhiqiu's eyes looked at Gu Qinghuan more and more adoringly, worthy of being a young lady, this kind of magic skill, in the eyes of young lady, is just a small skill of carving insects!

Miss is amazing!

Awesome!

Gu Qinghuan was not shocked, she had seen a lot of this kind of look in her previous life.

Someone always asked, how did she practice this false sound without a trace, Gu Qinghuan didn't bother to explain, so she only replied, carving insect skills.

It's just that to put it lightly, only she knows the hardships.

In order to protect her throat, she was born with a spicy taste, and after entering the theater, she didn't taste the slightest spicy taste for several years, even when the banquets were staggered, she didn't drink a drop of wine, and what could enter her mouth was only the tasteless lightness.

This is only the most basic, in order to practice the change of voice, learn the tone of others, pause and turn the sentence......

Gu Qinghuan forgot how many days and nights she had stayed up, to study, to figure out, excessive practice almost ruined her throat, and it took a small success!

All of this is not enough for outsiders.

Thinking about it, she and Zhiqiu had already left Guining Temple and arrived on the road outside.

It's just that the makeup took too long, and the sky was getting dark, and if they wanted to return to the city before the curfew, the two could only take a shortcut.

Walking in the dimly lit and treacherous forest, Gu Qinghuan felt inexplicably uneasy, she always felt that she had forgotten something important.

"Ahh

At this moment, Zhiqiu let out a low breath.

"What's wrong?" Gu Qinghuan looked around vigilantly.

Zhiqiu said: "The slave just figured out one thing. ”

Gu Qinghuan looked at her suspiciously.

Zhiqiu looked at Gu Qinghuan with little stars in his eyes: "The magic skills of changing your face and changing your voice, in your eyes, Miss, are just small skills of carving insects, no wonder those people outside say that you don't learn and have no skills, and you don't refute it!" So that's it! Miss, your realm has long been on the same level as those ordinary ladies and ladies! ”

Gu Qinghuan: "......" should remind my maid that she wants to go wrong?

In an instant, her face was solemn: "It is worthy of being my personal big girl, you guessed it." ”

"Hehe...... Zhiqiu scratched his head embarrassedly and smiled, "Miss has won the award." ”

Gu Qinghuan's eyes were complicated, Rao was as thick-skinned as her, and she couldn't bear to look at Zhiqiu's innocent expression at this moment.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Hell......"

Just then, a fluttering voice sounded in the distance.

Zhiqiu trembled, hugged Gu Qinghuan tightly, a pair of apricot eyes rolled wildly, and took the surrounding situation into his eyes: "Miss, did you hear any sound?" ”

Fluttering, ghost-like!

At this moment, a cold forest wind swept by, and Zhiqiu shivered.

A voice, carried by the wind, clearly came into Gu Qinghuan's ears-

"Helpβ€”"

Gu Qinghuan was stunned at first, and then his eyes widened-

She finally understood why she was uneasy after entering this path, and what she had forgotten!

It was a message that she had heard by chance in her previous life, and later when she was collecting information about that person in the theater, she saw it on a piece of paper with secret information written on itβ€”

On March 10, the 21st year of Yongren, when the left prime minister of the dynasty, Yan Jin, the daughter of the Duke of Yasukuni, died in the dense forest three miles east of Guining Temple, and the murderer is still unknown!

Today......

It's March 10th!

And the path she copied with Zhiqiu, the dense forest that she passed, was the place where Yan Jin died in her previous life!

According to the secret report, there should have been two killers who were chasing and killing Yan Jin at that time, and the methods were ruthless, killing with one blow, which was definitely not something that ordinary people could deal with!

"Smack!"

Subconsciously, Gu Qinghuan grabbed Zhiqiu's wrist, "Hide!" ”

She finally lived again, and she must not be planted here!

However, Gu Qinghuan was just about to pull Zhiqiu into the reeds next to him, when a pair of ink pupils flashed in his mind for no reason.

Although his eyes still look as deep as usual, they are as deep as an ancient well, but there is an indescribable undercurrent.

He had fought openly and secretly with that person several times, and what Gu Qinghuan saw the most was his dangerous sight hiding the cold knife, as if he was going to kill himself in the next second!

Only that night, Gu Qinghuan saw the emotion called "sadness" in the pupils of that person's eyes for the first time.

"If I'm not mistaken, three days later will also be your twenty-first birthday, right? I went out in a hurry in the middle of the night, and I didn't bring anything, so you can take this golden hairpin...... If you think it's too strange to accept a gift from a sworn enemy, how about taking it as a token of your and my cooperation? ”

Three days later, Gu Qinghuan wore the golden hairpin, and when he saw Si Xiuyuan, who was already the prince and was proud, he stabbed the poisonous golden hairpin into his heart!

It was also at this moment that Gu Qinghuan suddenly thought of the secret thing written on the paper, and then reacted-

How could the little grandfather, who is notoriously not close to women, carry the golden hairpin used by a woman with him?

The reason is simple, it was his sister's thing.

The sister who has been dead for many years, Yan Jin's ......

Relic!

"Words ...... Clear"

Gu Qinghuan paused, unconsciously pronounced the person's name, she turned her head sharply to look into the distance, and a figure fleeing in a panic could be seen in the shadows.

Her eyes flickered, hesitant and tangled.

In the end, Gu Qinghuan gritted her teeth and said to herself in a voice that only she could hear: "I didn't take the risk to save your sister for no reason...... I want you to remember that after today, you owe me a favor! ”
