Chapter 251: The One Standing in the Center Is Not a Stranger It is the lady in their mansion who is not a person
The county lord of Xianghe was shocked in his heart, but his exclamation was suppressed in his throat. Because she found that the figure was so familiar. That figure, that eyebrows, that flamboyant smile, have appeared in her memories thousands of times, and they are unforgettable.
The county lord of Xianghe suspected that he was hallucinating. But what about the hallucination, she always saw him again.
She walked over and sat down on the circle chair in front of the window, beside the apparition. She tilted her neck slightly and raised her face to look at him. Just like when she was young, she sat under the flower tree in a panic, and the young man with a bright smile jumped off the tree, and handed over the shawl that had been blown away by the wind.
The sun was shining brightly that day, but nothing could compare to the smile on his face.
The corners of Xianghe's eyebrows, eyes and lips became soft and curved because of the memory, and she slowly stretched out her hand to trace the outline of the phantom. The moment her hand touched the phantom, it suddenly changed into a different form.
It was a woman with a beautiful face, white clothes like snow, and black hair like a waterfall. Her eyes were like broken ice on a snowy mountain, and the blood stained her white clothes red in an instant. Her eyes remained the same, just looking at the county lord of Xianghe coldly.
The expression of the county lord of Xianghe instantly froze. She looked at the woman in front of her hatefully, but she couldn't make a sound no matter what. Seeing that "Yun's" strangled a pair of bloody hands around her neck.
The county lord of Xianghe finally couldn't help but scream.
The two girls on night duty in the house had been looking at the abnormal behavior of Xianghe County Lord in astonishment, and when they saw her exclaiming, the two girls rushed over.
"County Lord."
"County Lord, what's wrong with you?"
When the county lord of Xianghe heard someone calling her, he immediately jumped up and ran towards the source of the sound. Under the shadow of the lamp, what the county lord of Xianghe saw was not the faces of the two girls, but the two girls who had followed her before. Because the two little girls helped her do some things that she couldn't see people, she killed them one after the other.
The exclamation of the county lord of Xianghe became more and more terrifying, and she grabbed something casually and threw it at the two girls, while calling out the door loudly: "Come on, come on!" ”
Her voice was mad, as if it had been torn apart.
Seeing that this was wrong, the two girls hurriedly ran towards the door. This movement quickly brightened up the courtyard of the county lord of Xianghe. A group of girls and mothers-in-law hurriedly stopped the county lord of Xianghe who rushed out of the house.
At this moment, no one noticed that the refreshments and incense burner lids in the room had been silently replaced with identical sets.
When finally the mother-in-law calmly commanded the girls to come in and search, there was nothing suspicious in this room.
In just a few moments, the lights of the entire eldest princess's mansion turned on. The small corner door of the house was hastily opened, and a young attendant led the horse out of the door. He was in such a hurry that he stepped on horseback almost as soon as he went out.
The sound of hurried horses' hooves resounded through the streets of the cold night, galloping all the way to the Dingbei Hou Mansion.
The silence in the Dingbei Marquis' Mansion dissipated with the arrival of this attendant. First of all, the lights in the gatehouse became brighter and brighter, and as the lanterns moved quickly, the outer study, the inner courtyard door, and Qi Ao Zhai also brightened up in turn.
Wan Wan felt a little sleepy, and she heard those movements. Feng Qingcheng obviously heard it, but he was still lying flat and steady, until Hongwen hurriedly called "Hou Ye, Madam" outside the door, he lazily responded: "What's the matter?" ”
Hongwen replied outside the door: "Someone from the eldest princess's mansion came and said that the old lady was suddenly ill. Lord Yang wrote a handwritten letter, begging his wife to invite a Huangmen medical officer to come over. ”
Not everyone can ask for the medical officer of the Yellow Gate. In addition to the official family, there are only those who speak effectively in the four gates.
As the county lord of Xianghe and Yang Shao, Yang Shao can also invite the Huangmen medical officer when he goes to the official's house. He called someone to beg her, which only showed that he was in a hurry. And those people in the Yellow Gate right now are more proficient in poison than medicine.
Wan Wan remembered what Feng Qingcheng said, and had some guesses in her heart, so she first threw an inquiring look at Feng Qingcheng.
Feng Qingcheng was getting up and dressing, as if he knew she would look at her, and at the same time as she cast his gaze, he turned his head and nodded at her.
Wan Wan got up, wrote a simple handwriting, and then buckled the mark and handed it to Feng Qingcheng.
Feng Qingcheng put away the handwritten letter, leaned over and whispered in her ear: "Go to Songhe Courtyard to arrange it first, and then go out to the eldest princess's mansion in two moments." ”
Wan Wan nodded in understanding.
Feng Qingcheng looked at her and smiled again, then fastened his cloak and turned around and opened the door and walked out.
His movements of opening and closing the door were extremely fast, and the series of movements that disappeared into the night were even faster. Hongwen was obviously a little confused, she was stunned for a moment and then called outside the door: "Madam, do you need a slave to serve?" ”
Wan Wan said: "Let's call everyone up first." ”
Redstreak said, "Yes." Then he turned and called the others in Kio to get up.
In the room, Wan Wan yawned, and secretly despised Yang Shao in her heart while dressing. came to wake her up in the middle of the night, obviously not daring to wake up the official's house. I didn't even dare to face the official's anger when I got up, and what else did I do Kyoto Yin.
The people in the courtyard quickly got up, and Wan Wan went to Songhe Courtyard first according to Fengqingcheng's dialect.
Matsuzuruin was not alarmed. The mothers-in-law who were on vigil did not take a nap, they gathered in one place and quietly fought the leaf cards. When they heard someone outside the courtyard gate calling softly, they calmly hid the cards in their hands, and then the loser of the previous game came out to take a look.
The woman walked to the courtyard gate, and when she looked out through the crack in the door, she was immediately frightened.
There were six girls and two mothers-in-law outside the door, and the four glass lanterns were unusually bright. It was not a bystander standing in the middle, it was the lady in their house who was not a person.
The girl who called the door heard the footsteps in the door approaching, so she said softly: "Auntie, be lighter, don't alarm Mrs. Tai." only quietly called Sister Tangerine and Aunt Mei to come out to see Mrs. ”
The woman's heart trembled, but she didn't dare to delay for a moment to open the courtyard door. She saluted Wan Wanfu, and then turned around and tiptoed to call out to Tangerine Xiang and Aunt Mei.
Wan Wan told the two people that the county lord of Xianghe had a sudden illness, and told them to be vigilant tomorrow, so that no one could spread the matter to Mrs. Tai's ears. After the two of them expressed their understanding, Wan Wan turned around and returned to Qi Ao Zhai.
Tangerine Xiang and Aunt Mei respectfully blessed themselves, and they didn't straighten up until Wan Wan's figure completely disappeared from sight. The two looked at each other, each uneasy in their hearts. As soon as she entered the courtyard gate, Aunt Mei warned the vigil woman waiting behind the door: "Watch your tongue carefully. ”
The woman hurriedly said, "I haven't heard anything, I don't know anything." ”
Aunt Mei nodded, and went back to rest with Tangerine. The night watchwoman re-closed the courtyard door, but she didn't have the heart to play cards.
After tossing and turning in the middle of the night, it seems that the old lady's illness is not trivial. In the future, I am afraid that the wind direction in this house will completely change.
