Chapter 59: The Chamber of Secrets

Ma Xiuying smiled slightly, and then urged: "There may be people who come over and think that I have asked for instructions in the house, although Cui'er is outside to cover me, it can't be delayed for too long, I'll wait soon." ”

Chu Liuyan agreed, followed behind Ma Xiuying, and went down the stone steps.

Ma Xiuying turned a few times on a stone bench on the side of the stone steps, only to hear a rolling sound, and the dark passage that had just been opened slowly closed up, and finally closed tightly in one place. The light dimmed. But fortunately, there was still light ahead, and with the light in front of him, Chu Liuyan could vaguely see that there seemed to be several stone chambers not far away. The road is very long, and I don't know where it leads.

Chu Liuyan couldn't help but admire: "This organ is really ingenious, if outsiders break in, it is really impossible to see it." ”

Ma Xiuying said in a low voice behind Chu Liuyan: "This official residence was originally the official residence of the former Taishou, after I moved in with Wu Guogong, I also unintentionally discovered the mechanism here, this secret passage may be used to escape or avoid disaster, and it actually passed to the side of a mountain outside the city, even Wu Guogong didn't know that there was such a secret place in the mansion." Miss Chu, Sister Biyi is in front, these days, Li Ningluo's servants have always come to my side to snoop, I think it is the goblin who has also inquired about some rumors, if she learns that I secretly hide Sister Biyi underneath, I must come to murder Sister Biyi, I am afraid that there will be more trouble in the house. ”

When Chu Liuyan heard this, his heart moved, and he suddenly remembered that when he first arrived outside the house, Ma Xiuying came out to greet him, and when he was greeting himself, his eyes were inadvertently over his shoulder, and he still felt a little strange. At the moment, it must be Ma Xiuying who was afraid that the secret that she hid Xu Biyi here would be broken by Zhu Yuanzhang's new favorite Li Ningluo's maidservants, so she was careful and took precautions.

Thinking about it like this, Chu Liuyan's heart was relieved, and he was very surprised by Ma Xiuying's strange actions today, and he vaguely felt that the Ma Xiuying girl in his heart was really amazing, but when he brought her and her mother back, she still looked like she had never been in the world.

For this ability to adapt to changes without leaving a trace, Chu Liuyan felt ashamed of himself, and he was also quite admired in his heart.

Therefore, Chu Liuyan quickly followed Ma Xiuying to the door of the stone room, there was a huge stone door in the stone room, Chu Liuyan pushed it, but there was no response. When I got close to the stone gate, there was no sound, but I could smell the pungent smell.

Chu Liuyan didn't notice anything wrong, so he pinched his nose and looked at Ma Xiuying beside him, Ma Xiuying was also stunned, and blurted out: "A few days ago, Sister Biyi was still in a coma, and she woke up yesterday, but after hearing that the fetus in her womb died of suffocation, her expression and demeanor became dull, and she didn't say a word for a long time. ”

Hearing this, Chu Liuyan's heart sank suddenly, and his heart was shrouded in a shadow, this time he was entrusted by Xu Da to come to Wu Guogong's mansion to see Xu Biyi for Xu Da, if Xu Biyi had any accidents, he didn't know how to think of Xu Da to explain the matter. Therefore, Chu Liuyan hurriedly took a step back, stretched out his palm to push the stone door, Ma Xiuying also stepped forward to help, and with the joint efforts of the two, the stone door squeaked, and then it was pushed open.

Chu Liuyan and Ma Xiuying rushed into the stone room, and by the light of the ever-bright lamp in the stone room, they found that there was no Xu Biyi on the opposite bed.

Ma Xiuying and Chu Liuyan were shocked when they saw this. Ma Xiuying took a few steps forward, walked to the bed, stretched out her hand to touch it, and felt that there was still residual warmth on the mattress sent by her life Cui'er, so she exclaimed: "Miss Chu, the bedding is warm, Sister Biyi must not have gone far, I will go and chase it back soon." ”

"Okay, I'll go find ...... Bi right away." Chu Liuyan hadn't finished his reply, but he felt that his throat was tightly choked, and then he couldn't say a word.

A terrible cry suddenly sounded in his ears: "Li Ningluo, you poisonous woman, quickly return my child's life, quickly return my child's life." ”

Ma Xiuying had already sensed a hint of something wrong from Chu Liuyan's words, and hurriedly looked back, only to see Xu Biyi standing behind Chu Liuyan unkempt, and pinched Chu Liuyan's neck hard, and was shocked when she saw it, but she immediately came back to her senses, hurriedly ran to Xu Biyi and Chu Liuyan, and reached out to break Xu Biyi's wrist.

But Xu Biyi looked crazy, and the strength in her hands was many times higher than that of Pingsu, Ma Xiuying used all her strength, and she couldn't break Xu Biyi's hands that were getting tighter and tighter, seeing that Chu Liuyan was about to be pinched by the crazy Xu Biyi.

Ma Xiuying was in a hurry, and suddenly shouted at Xu Biyi. "Sister Biyi, she is not Li Ningluo, she is the Chu Liuyan girl who saved your life that day. Thou shalt not harm her life. ”

As soon as Ma Xiuying heard the shouting, a trace of clarity suddenly appeared between the crazy Xu Biyi's spiritual platform, and the crazy and angry look on her face also converged a lot, and then slowly calmed down, just said to herself: "She is not Li Ningluo, not Li Ningluo, she is Chu Liuyan, Chu Liuyan, Chu Liuyan is a good person, Li Ningluo is a bad woman." ”

Xu Biyi said these words upside down, and her hands gradually relaxed.

was choked by Xu Biyi from behind, and was almost caught by the hoop's back Chu Liuyan only felt that the power of Qianjun on his neck was light, and he rushed forward, broke free from Xu Biyi's hand, coughed a few times, and hurriedly adjusted his breath on the side.

After adjusting his breath, Chu Liuyan turned around and stepped to Ma Xiuying and Xu Biyi's side, only to see that Ma Xiuying was already gently patting Xu Biyi's back, and Xu Biyi, who almost killed herself just now, seemed to be greatly frightened, and had already thrown herself into Ma Xiuying's arms, but she said over and over in her mouth: "She is not Li Ningluo, not Li Ningluo, she is Chu Liuyan, Chu Liuyan, Chu Liuyan is a good person, Li Ningluo is a bad woman." Li Ningluo killed my child, and I will kill Li Ningluo. Li Ningluo killed me, I killed Li Ningluo. ”

From Xu Biyi's upside-down words, Chu Liuyan had already heard some clues. After Xu Biyi lost her beloved son, she was sad and indignant, and remembered in her heart that she was framed by Li Ningluo to end up like this, so she held a grudge against Li Ningluo, and she didn't want to kill him quickly.

Today, when she and Ma Xiuying came to visit, Xu Biyi was in a trance, and she regarded herself as Li Ningluo, the enemy of the enemy, so she attacked herself.

Thinking of the situation where Fang Cai was almost killed here, Chu Liuyan was secretly afraid, if Ma Xiuying was not present today, I am afraid that he would already be dead and alive, since Chu Liuyan had a good impression of Ma Xiuying, and he admired it.

However, in the current situation of Biyi, Ruosi has no time to thank Ma Xiuying. Therefore, Chu Liuyan opened his mouth and asked: "Sister Biyi, what is wrong with this, could it be that she has some kind of illness such as madness." ”

Ma Xiuying frowned, thought for a moment and said, "According to the doctor, after taking the medicine, Sister Biyi will recuperate for a period of time and be cured. However, the doctor also explained that Sister Biyi is in a trance at the moment, and the fetus in her womb is no longer protected by this drama, so she told me and Cui'er not to inform Sister Biyi about this matter for the time being, so as not to stimulate her and make the condition recur. It's just that after Biyi's sister woke up yesterday, when I ordered Cui'er to come here to deliver food, Cui'er was entangled by Biyi's sister, and she had to tell her what was happening to the fetus in her womb. But Biyi's sister Bingxue is smart, but she got some clues from Cui'er's panicked expression. is even more deliberate to ask endlessly, after a while, the more omissions in Cui'er's words, the more Biyi's sister believes in Cui'er's words about the safety of mother and son, and she has to ask Cui'er to bring the baby to see it. ”

When Chu Liuyan heard this, he unconsciously lost his voice and said: "Sister Biyi is so stubborn, how can this be good." ”

Ma Xiuying said in a deep voice: "Although Cui'er is well-behaved, she will give her words, after all, she is not deeply involved in the world, she has not been involved in such a big event, and she is also benevolent by nature. Under the repeated pleading of Biyi's sister, she unconsciously moved her compassion, put aside the doctor's warning and her words, and told Biyi's sister the truth. Cui'er panicked, hurriedly came to me, I served with Cui'er, and after Sister Biyi woke up, she didn't think about tea and rice, water and rice didn't eat, no matter how I persuaded Cui'er, we refused to eat. He sat quietly all day long, and refused to speak. In desperation, I had to ask Cui'er to deliver meals on time once a day, and I didn't dare to send more, for fear that Li Ningluo's gang of servants and maids would find out something from the cook, but it was not beautiful. ”

Chu Liuyan thought about it and felt that Ma Xiuying was properly disposed of in this way, but when he raised his eyes, he saw that on the table at the head of the bed, although the meal had not been moved, it was very hot in the cellar, and it was already bad.

Chu Liuyan was sad in his heart, and felt that Xu Biyi was still placed in the dark stone room underneath, which was extremely pitiful. Therefore, he whispered to Ma Xiuying: "Wu Guogong has already agreed, and I will not stop Biyi sister, do I want to send Biyi sister back to the courtyard where she originally lived." The cellar is not ventilated, and it is dark, which is probably not good for Biyi's sister's condition. ”

Hearing Chu Liuyan say this, Ma Xiuying was stunned, lowered her head and thought for a moment, and then said to Chu Liuyan: "What Miss Chu is worried about is not unreasonable, but it can't be done right now. ”

Chu Liuyan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked: "Could it be that there is any hindrance, please make it clear." ”

Ma Xiuying sighed and said: "It's not that Xiuying doesn't want to believe people, it's just that the body of Biyi's sister is still not cool enough right now, and her expression is even more trance-like, as Chu Liuyan just saw, sometimes she will have a sudden attack and hurt people." If Sister Biyi is sent back to her original yard to live like this, first, I don't worry about Sister Biyi's condition, and secondly, I still beware of those vicious snakes and scorpions in the house, who still refuse to let go of Sister Biyi, and will come up with any conspiracy to assassinate Biyi. ”

As soon as Ma Xiuying's words came out, Chu Liuyan was shocked, and secretly regretted in his heart why he was so confused, fortunately, Ma Xiuying thought it through, if she got Xu Biyi out of the cellar stone room and placed her in the original mansion according to her own wishes, it would certainly help Xu Biyi's condition a little. It's just that the current situation in the house is treacherous, and even if you take precautions, you may fall into the ill-intentioned plot of hiding in the shadows. The best way is not to let the other party find Xu Biyi, let Xu Bi recuperate here for a period of time, and wait until the situation is clear, and then make the next step, so that Xu Biyi can be safe.

Thinking of this, Chu Liuyan solemnly turned his face and said to Ma Xiuying: "What my sister said is reasonable, Liuyan has been taught." If you act according to the way you are smoking, I am afraid that there will be a big mess, but fortunately, my sister mentioned it in time, and now it is better to place Sister Biyi here. ”

Ma Xiuying felt a little embarrassed when she heard Chu Liuyan's words, so she said: "Miss Chu doesn't have to be too humble, I'm just putting myself in Biyi's shoes, Miss Chu has everything for Biyi's good, but the current situation doesn't allow me to wait for a little mistake, otherwise I will regret it for the rest of my life." ”

This remark contained a slight warning, and Chu Liuyan naturally heard it, but he didn't care about it. In Chu Liuyan's mind, the most worried thing is Xu Biyi's safety, after all, Xu Da is kind to him, and Xu Biyi is Xu Da's sister-in-law, Xu Da asked himself to come to Wu Guogong's mansion to visit Xu Biyi this time, just to know what Xu Biyi's current situation is.

Therefore, Chu Liuyan didn't want Xu Biyi to make the slightest mistake anyway, now Xu Biyi had already lost the unborn fetus in her womb, if she couldn't even save her mother, Chu Liuyan wouldn't have the face to go back to see Xu Da. Protecting Biyi is also an opportunity for him to repay his kindness, Chu Liuyan feels that if Biyi dies in the mansion, not only will Xu Da be heartbroken, but I am afraid that he will also be to blame.

Because of this, Chu Liuyan has no objection to Ma Xiuying's arrangement. opened his mouth and said: "My sister is very worried, Li Ningluo is a person with ill intentions and bad intentions, if she sees Biyi's sister like this, I don't know what kind of trick she will come up with to murder Biyi's sister." ”

Without warning, Xu Biyi, who was in Ma Xiuying's arms, heard Li Ningluo's three words, raised her head, and suddenly shot out hatred in her blurred eyes, and blurted out coldly: "Li Ningluo, you murdered my child, I have to break your body into ten thousand pieces, if you have a child, I will not let it go." Li Ningluo, I'm going to skin you alive, sleep on your skin, and eat your flesh. ”

Chu Liuyan looked at Xu Biyi's crazy situation, and knew that it was not good, so he warned Ma Xiuying and said, "Get out of the way, Sister Biyi has another seizure." As he spoke, he stepped forward to pull Ma Xiuying and Xu Biyi apart.

But I didn't expect that as soon as Xu Biyi finished speaking, she immediately lowered her head and took a hard bite on the arm of Ma Xiuying, who was holding her.

Ma Xiuying saw the opportunity very quickly, as soon as she heard Chu Liuyan's warning, she was already shocked, and pushed backhanded, wanting to push Xu Biyi away, but she was already a step too late.

only listened to the sound of "snort", Ma Xiuying's arm was still bitten by Xu Biyi, and after a slight struggle, red blood was revealed.

Ma Xiuying couldn't help it, she pushed her backhand violently, and her body also struggled backwards with it, and then she broke away from Xu Biyi's bite. Xu Biyi was pushed by her, and her body fell down later, but fortunately, Chu Liuyan had already reached the side, and she quickly supported the crumbling Xu Biyi.

At this time, Xu Biyi seemed to be a little sober, just raised her words, looked at Chu Liuyan who was supporting her, and said: "I recognize you, you are my savior Chu Liuyan, is it not my savior Chu Liuyan." Then he muttered a few words about my poor child, you were harmed by Li Ningluo, and some inexplicable words. Some of the words were even more vague, and even Chu Liuyan, who was beside her, had no way of knowing what Xu Biyi was saying.

Chu Liuyan listened to her inarticulate and incoherent words, and her heart was in a hurry, and she was suddenly a little at a loss.

Ma Xiuying, who had retreated to the side, saw this situation, and she didn't care that she had been bitten on the arm by Xu Biyi just now, so she rushed to Chu Liuyan's side and said to Chu Liuyan: "Miss Chu, quickly help Sister Biyi to put on and lie down." Don't mention Li Ningluo in front of him, Biyi's sister hates this person to the core, and as soon as she hears this name, she starts a crazy demon and wants to fight with someone. ”

When Chu Liuyan heard this, he immediately understood Ma Xiuying's intentions, Xu Biyi's situation is very bad now, but according to the current situation, he still followed Ma Xiuying's advice and helped Biyi's sister to the bed to rest first.

Chu Liuyan made up his mind, so he grabbed Xu Biyi's hand and said softly to her: "Sister Biyi, I'll help you go to bed first, and go to bed to sleep for a while, you see how it goes." ”

Xu Biyi replied stunned: "Okay, Biyi will listen to Chu Liuyan's benefactor and go to the bed to lie down." ”

As soon as Ma Xiuying saw Chu Liuyan help Xu Biyi to the bed, she also followed to the side of the bed, and then reached out to probe Xu Biyi's forehead, only to feel that it was very hot.

Ma Xiuying was startled, turned her face, and said to Chu Liuyan: "It's not good, Sister Biyi may be sick." ”
