Chapter 18: I'm so angry!
Xia Taozhi will never hear it wrong, it is the voice she has used for nineteen years, and she is next to the rockery at the moment, talking to Xiaocui.
She froze in shock, her eyes widening in disbelief, and a voice in her heart repeatedly shouted, "Is this possible?" Is this impossible? ”
When she came back to her senses and stumbled out, trying to see what was going on, there was no one in front of the rockery.
What about people? Could it be a hallucination?
"Mother, what's wrong with you? Why is your face so bad? Seeing that she hadn't returned to the backyard for a long time, Peony looked for her, but saw Xia Taozhi standing alone beside the rockery in the back garden, her eyes were stunned, her expression was abrupt, and her whole person was like a wandering spirit.
"...... Mother......
After shouting for a long time, Xia Taozhi reacted, but she grabbed the peony's hand and asked her in a trembling voice: "Today...... Today, Gu Shilang came to visit Xia ...... Visiting Daddy, and bringing a few handmaidens with him? ”
Peony was asked inexplicably by her, and said: "The slave doesn't know, the slave and the maid have been practicing swords in the backyard with the mother all morning......" She looked at Xia Taozhi carefully, and saw that her face was really not good, and she was sweating profusely, and thought she was sick, so she hurriedly grabbed her hand and wanted to probe her pulse.
Who knows, Xia Taozhi shook off her hand, turned her head and ran towards the study.
Gu Ziyi, just ask Gu Ziyi!
As she ran, she felt remorseful. Why are you so stupid, it's really stupid! That day, she and the tsundere prince visited Mibai Mountain at night, and obviously heard the man in black under the tree say that "His Royal Highness the prince is about to get married, and he has returned to Tubi City", she didn't think about it carefully at all, and it was natural to think that her original body must have returned to Xitu with the original body of the tsundere prince, and she didn't think about going to the Shilang Mansion to explore it clearly.
She ran in a hurry, stumbling along the way, knocking down several maids and servants. Peony kept chasing after her and shouting at her, but she turned a deaf ear.
More and more small details that she had ignored in the past were now recalled by her, forming more new questions that converged into her mind.
Needless to say, the one who swapped bodies with her was Miss Xia Er of this Prime Minister's Mansion, the original Princess Ling! Since she and the tsundere prince were both soul-piercing, all kinds of dangers and crises have followed, and they have been overwhelmed with them, and they have no time to think about other things.
However, it is understandable that she did not go to find her original body, why didn't this Miss Xia Er come to look for her? Put a serious famous lady, the dignified princess of the tomb does not do it, and is willing to stay in the Shilang Mansion to be a little maid? This makes too much sense! And she didn't appear early or late, but she didn't appear until Chu Jing broke the news that Xia Xiang was seriously ill. It can be seen that her appearance in the Prime Minister's Mansion today must not be as simple as following her son to visit the patient. A little maid who came to the Prime Minister's Mansion for the first time, how could she have the courage to run around, she must have found an opportunity to sneak away to see her father.
Prime Minister's House, in the study.
Song Yuanxi had just sent Gu Ziyi away, and was alone at the table facing the book "Hundred Arrays of Strange Soldiers", when he heard the hurried footsteps on the corridor from a distance, and he was in a hurry, with great eagerness. He couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, thinking that he had played tricks on the little peach just now, and secretly rejoiced in his heart, he couldn't hold it back, right? You're here to catch the rapist, right?
Unexpectedly, Xiao Taozi cared so much about him being alone with Gu Ziyi, and actually came to listen to the corner? was also teased by him, thinking, he was in a good mood, and even the haze brought to him by this "Hundred Arrays of Strange Soldiers" was swept away.
Xia Taozhi hurriedly pushed the door in, looked around, her eyes were obviously flustered, and she was uneasy. Song Yuanxi looked at it and laughed, and said, "I can't imagine that Little Peach is so nervous about being a husband?" The teasing words were about to be spoken, but Xia Taozhi didn't look at her, and called out "Master Gu" in a trembling voice, slapping him in the face.
It turned out to be looking for Gu Ziyi!
Somehow he was suddenly unhappy, and his face darkened.
Xia Taozhi ran over in a few steps, looked anxious, grabbed his hand and asked, "What about Master Gu?" What about Gu Ziyi? What about Childe? ”
She asked three questions in a row, and with each question, Song Yuanxi's face darkened. Okay, you little peach, you actually call other men's names in front of Lao Tzu, and you are closer than the other. Is Lao Tzu dead? The green tendons on the corner of his forehead jumped, and he suddenly thought in his heart, could it be because she made her misunderstand that Gu Ziyi was a broken sleeve, so she was so anxious that she didn't care about anything and wanted to confess her heart to Gu Ziyi?
Thinking about it, a nameless anger rose in his heart, his eyebrows furrowed, and he reprimanded sharply: "Presumptuous! It's not good to practice swords in the backyard, but I actually ran to the study and shouted, what kind of system! ”
Peony followed behind, running out of breath all the way, and finally just ran away, and before he could catch his breath, he heard Song Yuanxi's angry reprimand, and immediately frightened his soul away, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull Xia Taozhi.
"...... Niangniang ...... "Peony looks like she is about to cry, she has never seen His Royal Highness reprimand Niangniang so sharply. But Xia Taozhi still didn't know whether to live or die at this time, and pulled Song Yuanxi's hand, and asked eagerly: "What about the son?" Childe was obviously still here just now, where did he go? ”。
Song Yuanxi had a cold face, and said in a weird manner: "What son?" Which son? ”
"Gu Ziyi!"
"Gone."
"Gone?"
"Why don't you leave and stay for lunch?"
Song Yuanxi's voice was extremely sarcastic, cold and panicked, and Peony subconsciously shivered.
However, Xia Taozhi didn't care about anything else at the moment, as soon as she heard that Gu Ziyi had left, she turned around and ran towards the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and instructed Peony as she ran: "Go and inform the family to stop Master Gu for me no matter what, I have something to say to him!"
The peony was about to freeze to death by the cold and biting chill emitted by Song Yuanxi, and when he heard the words, he ran away in a hurry.
In an instant, Song Yuanxi was left alone in the study, his face turned pale, and Xia Taozhi's last sentence kept echoing in his head, "Stop Master Gu no matter what, I have something to say to him!" He was half angry, pounded the table hatefully, stood up, paced back and forth in the study, half loud, raised his foot and kicked over a stool, and scolded: "Phew! Isn't it just a little white face, a son's fart! I'm so angry! ”
Xia Taozhi ran all the way and was still a step late, the porter said that the carriage of the Gu Mansion had just left, and she wanted to chase it out immediately, but Peony dragged her and didn't let go, saying that she wouldn't let her go.
"...... Empress...... Don't go after your lordship, Your Highness is angry! ”
Xia Taozhi was inexplicable: "What is he angry about, why is he angry?" Just now in the study, she wanted to tell Song Yuanxi directly, but first, Peony was present at the time, and second, this matter was too unbelievable, after all, she didn't see her original body with her own eyes, there was no evidence, she was afraid that Song Yuanxi wouldn't believe it.
Gu Fu's carriage was in front of him, and the horse's hooves stepped lightly, rolling up puffs of dust, and slowly drove out of the alley.
She glanced at the peony that was still holding her hand and didn't let go, and sighed. That's it, anyway, people can't run away for a while, it's a big deal that she visits the Gu Mansion at night tonight, and she must find out.
All afternoon, she was absent-minded, lost and depressed, and she didn't have the heart to practice swordsmanship at all, and she made mistakes repeatedly. Song Yuanxi sat aside with his hands crossed, looking at the sky coldly, without saying a word, the entire backyard was as silent as death, and the atmosphere was terrifyingly cold.
In the end, Xia Taozhi made an excuse that she was not feeling well, so she went back to her room early to rest.
At night, Song Yuanxi didn't find a way to sleep with her in bed for the first time in the world, but lay down on the soft collapse early, with his back to her, and didn't seem to even bother to look at her. Although Xia Taozhi felt a little strange, her mind was not on this at all at the moment, and she was only waiting for the tsundere prince to fall asleep so that she could sneak out of the prime minister's mansion.
Finally, the sound of even and dense breathing came from the soft couch, and she quietly got up and felt out of the room lightly.
The moon and stars are scarce, and the four fields are lonely.
I have to say that after the training of Prince Tsundere in the past few days, her martial arts seem to have really improved by leaps and bounds. easily climbed over the wall and got out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, lifted his breath, and galloped all the way on the roof of Chu Jing. She was agile and fluttering, jumping straight over countless rooftops, not breathing, and fell directly into the backyard of the Gu Mansion.
She'd been here for three years, and she couldn't be more familiar.
I was familiar with the way and touched the lower room where I used to live, which was pitch black, and I obviously had turned off the lights and fell asleep. She quietly pushed open the window, rolled over, rolled on the spot, and quietly entered the house.
This is a spacious double room, and the Gu Mansion has always been very kind to its subordinates, even a low-level maid like her lives in a two-person room. Unlike the servants of other powerful families in Chu Jing, four or five people were crammed into one room, miserable.
It's just that it is Xiaocui who lives in the same room with her, so her life is not much better. At this moment, Xiao Cui was obviously sleeping very soundly, because her familiar snoring echoed throughout the room.
The bed by the window is hers, in fact, it was originally Xiaocui's, but after sleeping for a few nights, Xiaocui thought that the window was too windy and too cold, so she changed it with her.
She quietly touched it, and she had already planned in her heart, no matter what, she would knock people out of the Gu Mansion first. Who knows, when I reached out and touched it, the quilt was cold, and there was no one on the bed at all.
Now, she was completely stupid.
What about people?
Could it be that what she heard during the day was really a hallucination?
At this moment, her heart was flustered, fine sweat appeared on her forehead, and her heart seemed to have fallen from the clouds, hanging in mid-air and unable to get up and down, extremely uncomfortable.
After being stunned for a while, she skillfully took out a pair of scissors from the basket on the table, and said in her heart that since she had reached this point, she had to figure out what was going on no matter what was going on today!
She poured a pot of tea on Xiaocui to wake her up, and before she could scream, she lit her dumb hole, and then put the cold scissors between her neck, and said to her calmly: "Make a sound, I'll kill you, do you understand?" ”
Xiaocui was dreaming, and was suddenly woken up by someone pouring a pot of tea, and was about to jump up and scold her mother, but suddenly found that there was a masked man in black in front of her, and turned a pair of scissors sideways, and immediately paralyzed her whole body with fright, and she couldn't stop nodding her head tremblingly.
Seeing her nodding, Xia Taozhi reached out to relieve her dumb hole, Xiaocui really didn't dare to make a sound, only looked at her with frightened eyes, her hair was wet and sticking to her fat face, and she was still dropping water droplets, looking embarrassed and funny.
"I asked, you answered, no nonsense, no concealment, no lying, do you understand?"
Cui nodded.
"Who is living in the same room with you?"
“…… Yes, it's Jin Lian, we all call her Ah Jin. ”
Yes, when she came to Gufu to be a maidservant, she did use the pseudonym Jin Lian, just because she had a lotus-like birthmark on her shoulder.
"Where is she at this time?"
She ...... She's back to her hometown......" Xiaocui said in a trembling voice: "This afternoon, her family came with an urgent letter saying that her father was seriously ill and asked her to rush back immediately. ”
"Nonsense!" She doesn't have a hometown at all, her hometown is on Qingyang Mountain, and she doesn't have a seriously ill father, her father died when she was six years old!
"Did she tell me where her hometown was?"
"This ...... This...... I don't know, I didn't ask. ”
You know how to eat! Xia Taozhi scolded in her heart, it seems that she fled after hearing the wind...... Really alert and smart.
There are both carriages and coils, but I am afraid that I have already left Chujing at this time, and I don't know which direction to go. Xia Taozhi really couldn't figure it out, why did she do this?
At this time, I only heard Xiaocui tremble again: "...... Does this dead girl owe you money? There is a debtor and a debtor, you go to her, but don't hurt me, I don't know her well......"
"You're asking too much!" Xia Taozhi stretched out her hand mercilessly, turned her into a blade with her hand, and knocked her unconscious: "Am I very familiar with you?" ”
In vain, she was annoyed and in a terrible mood. I knew that this was the case, and this morning she would have to shake off Peony's hand and catch up and intercept the person no matter what. Now, in the vast sea of people, where are she going to find someone!
At the moment, I have to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion first, and then take a good measurement.
She jumped on the wall of the backyard with a gentle lift, and was just about to climb down, when she looked at it coldly, her legs were so frightened that she almost didn't roll down.
I saw a person standing at the foot of the wall outside Gu's mansion, looking up at her coldly at the moment.
