Chapter 202: Their Respective Plans
Chapter 202: Their Respective Plans
For Gu Lingge, there is not much difference between one more person and one less person, Zuo is just the difference between booking one room and two rooms, she has never cared about this kind of thing, so naturally she didn't say anything, but it was more or less different. I went back to the inn, walked to the door, and suddenly saw that it was dark next door, paused, and walked to my room.
As soon as he fell asleep, he heard the sound of rustling in the room, sat up in the thick night like ink, Gu Lingge waited, and then found that it was a letter crow entrenched on the table. Gu Lingge took down the letterbox, and there was only one sentence on it: "No return." The handwriting didn't match anyone she knew, so she didn't pay much attention to it.
After releasing the letter crow, Gu Lingge sat at the table and poured himself a glass of water, and before he could say anything, a voice quietly sounded next to him: "The owner of the village can be more and more idle day by day." Gu Lingge opened the teacup and poured another cup of water, "Isn't the pavilion master too, and he can do such a thing as breaking into the boudoir at night, is he also in a panic?" ”
"Yes, the idlers in this world should be just you and me." An Yan came out of the corner, dressed in plain linen and dust, and took a fan in his hand, although he didn't use it, he looked very charming. There was something in his words, and Gu Lingge naturally heard it, but since it had nothing to do with him, he didn't care about it.
"Isn't he looking for you to be a staff officer, you still have time to run out to find me." Gu Lingge didn't mention Qing Ruifan, and it was just one word when he said it, but he was still somewhat uncomfortable in his heart.
"I'm not the only advisor, and besides, do you think I'll be afraid of him?" An Yan didn't seem to pay attention to it at all, took a sip of tea, and his eyes were extremely clear. Qianji Pavilion and Liulizhuang, no one is afraid of the emperor, but no one will live long, they can make the emperor stand firm, and they can also help him stabilize his rule, but not they can sit back and relax, and their lives will be safe.
"Why are you alone? Liulizhuang is so big, it won't let you wander around alone. An Yan squinted slightly, and his speech was still sharp, but his eyes were wandering, and he didn't know what he was looking at. He only received a letter a few days ago saying that Gu Lingge was in Cangcheng, and he couldn't let go of it so he came to take a look, and it turned out that he was really alone.
"They're all on their own terms, and I'm not a three-year-old." Gu Lingge didn't care, and quietly shook his hand, but his face was not obvious, he just looked at An Yan, and there were stars flashing in his eyes. An Yan usually has a lot of things, and if she can leave the capital to find her, she is either really worried, or something is wrong in the capital.
"Don't worry, the city is calmer than Changling, I just came to send you a message, Gu Huai is back." An Yan frowned, he and Gu Lingge had been looking for this person for many years, but there had been no news, and the timing was really accurate. For what, no one knows.
"Huh? Says who? Gu Lingge's first impression was that he didn't admit it. At that time, Gu Huai said when he was separated from her that goodbye is the separation of life and death, why did he come back at this time? And judging from the description, it should still be a living person, and Gu Lingge didn't know how to say anything in his heart.
"What I saw." An Yan's words blocked the small struggle in Gu Lingge's heart. An Yan looked at her face that froze instantly, and it was so pale that it made people feel distressed. He was a little unbearable, but he continued, "He found a courtyard to live in, and he has been in peace for the past few days." "Gu Huai is a madman, the Gu Lingge he raised is still alive in his shadow, if he comes to the door again, what will Gu Lingge do.
Gu Lingge's eyelids jumped violently. What is Gu Huai? It is the root of her every nightmare, the skeleton on the other side that drags her into hell, and the fear and sadness that arise from her memories of her mother every time. How can she? Gu Huai raised her and cut off all contact with her by himself. is obviously a weak scholar, but in the end, he is the most ruthless and capable one.
"Just keep an eye on it, just because you don't move now doesn't mean you won't move later. You tell your own person to be careful, he's a madman. Gu Lingge thanked An Yan, but asked him to look at the person. After thinking about it, she wrote a note to An Yan and asked him to hand it over to Gu Liangyue when he went back. She didn't tell Gu Liangyue when she left, so it's better to explain to her now.
An Yan took the things and took them back, causing an uproar, and he didn't press it for the time being, but he stayed next door and accompanied Gu Lingge for one night.
But Gu Lingge slept very unsteadily, and went through Gu Huai's little over and over again in her dreams, every time Gu Huai whipped and beckoned to her, she felt that she saw the devil, and subconsciously shrank herself up and retreated, against the hard wall, and then thought in a daze that there was no warm chest behind her. This realization made her shiver fiercely when she was covered with the quilt, and she was pulled by the dream more and more hard.
finally managed to break dawn, An Yan came to say goodbye to Gu Lingge, knocked on the door and no one answered. An Yan felt strange, walked in lightly, and saw her sleeping on the edge of the bed, sweating, blood oozing from the corners of her mouth, and still shivering. An Yan pursed her lips, stepped forward, took out the mint given by Feng Yiluo from her bag, and crushed it between her noses, the fresh but slightly pungent smell made Gu Lingge struggle to open his eyes and sneeze.
"Nightmare?" An Yan poured water and put it in her hand, watching her sit up, last night's plain clothes were still on her body, and she had never taken off her clothes to sleep outside.
"Well, a little." Gu Lingge calmly rinsed away the bloody breath in his mouth and nodded. Looking at An Yan, he understood at a glance, and said, "When you go back, inform the three families of Yun Mufeng and tell them not to act rashly, but also prepare to protect themselves." Then, let Lu Nan not find someone to follow me, I don't want to. Also, I don't think you've finished what you told me yesterday. ”
As smart as Gu Lingge, he still guessed it. An Yan didn't hide it, and took out a dagger from his sleeve, "This is what he asked me to give you, saying that you will use it when you go out." "It was given to Qing Ruifan by Gu Lingge before, with complex patterns and simple shapes. But, it's sharp.
"I don't need it, you take it back. If he doesn't want it, you can just throw it away. Gu Lingge was suffocated in his heart, and tried his best to suppress his voice and pretend to be flat. She was actually quite worried, whether that person was still lacking in roots and tendons to do things, and whether he was still going to the dark one and not entering the harem. When you don't mention it, the wind is calm, but when you mention it, it is stormy.
What can be done?
"He's recently had the blue coat train a group of people, who don't know the details but seem to be quite reliable. Things are also well arranged, and there is nothing wrong with them. The backyard is quiet at the moment, and I don't know what is brewing. I saw him the day before yesterday, and although he was not in good spirits, he looked okay. An Yan knew what she wanted to ask, and answered them one by one. I don't know if these two people took the wrong medicine, and if they don't admit that they love each other, it's painful to watch.
"Hmm." Gu Lingge didn't know what to say, so he could only agree. Know how? What if you don't know?
"Okay, I'll go first, you pay attention to your own safety, and send me a message if you have something." An Yan stood up and really left.
Gu Lingge touched his forehead, finished washing, changed into an ordinary dress, and left the inn after checking out. She didn't know where she was going, but she subconsciously wanted to run. Renting a carriage, she asked the master to go south. Her current body could not support the cold farther north, so she had to go to the south, where the climate was warmer.
"Girl, let me tell you, in this Jiangsu and Zhejiang region, there are more scenes to see in winter......" The master said happily, Gu Lingge was not interested, and he was in a daze while responding.
Nine Princes' Mansion
When Gu Liangyue received the news, she was drinking tonic medicine under the supervision of Qing Ruiting. The taste of this tonic is getting worse than the bowl, she didn't want to drink it for a long time, but she couldn't resist Qing Ruiting, seeing him jumping up and down and worrying, Gu Liangyue was happy and helpless in her heart.
"What did you say?" Cui Qi watched her finish drinking the medicine before she spoke, but she still made Gu Liangyue almost drop the bowl. After listening to the news, she immediately turned her head to find Qing Ruiting, locked on him firmly, and her eyes were full of helplessness and fear for a moment. Even if Qing Ruiting didn't turn around, he stepped forward to see her like this, hugged her tightly, and comforted her softly.
"Ating ......" Gu Liangyue's voice trembled, and Qing Ruiting's heart trembled, he hugged the person tightly, patted her back over and over again, and the soothing syllables came out of his mouth, Gu Liangyue lay quietly in his arms, calming down for a long time before finally stabilizing his breath. Qing Ruiting was about to stare Cui Qi out of a hole on the side.
"What does it look like you're crying like this, your man. The makeup is all spent, and I'm not afraid to scare me. Qing Ruiting shook her hand, put it to her mouth and kissed it, then tightened it and pressed it to her chest. He didn't know what was going on, only that his woman was scared. She hadn't cried in front of her for a long time, so he was so distressed.
"Don't look at my makeup, I don't see you praising me, I still dislike you when I see it, I won't serve it." Gu Liangyue's mind calmed down, and when she heard Qing Ruiting burying her, she was angry and argued with him. Qing Ruiting saw her like this, so she smiled and hugged her tighter. This kind of Gu Liangyue is good. After all, in this capital, she is a well-known "shrew".
"Well, you man and I'm here, what's the matter you can't get by, tell me, I'll support you when the sky falls." Qing Ruiting picked up the person and took him to the pavilion. Cui Qi brought the kettle and pastries and followed. Liang Yue couldn't eat anything during this time, so Qing Ruiting changed her way to make pastries for her to eat, but she didn't lose weight.
"My stepfather has returned. He has always been very bad to my sister and me. In Gu Liangyue's version, she and Gu Lingge are sisters, this statement is right, Qing Ruiting did not doubt it, besides, Qing Ruiting is the one who knows everything, Gu Liangyue didn't say it, he just took what she said as true. Anyway, Gu Liangyue has already come out, so he has to cherish it.
"Then I'll tell the housekeeper to let him divide people between you and Cuiqi, and I'll go to the court less often and accompany you more. Anyway, now that I have you too, I can't be considerate of the Imperial Brotherhood. Qing Ruiting said it easily, but Qing Ruifan really cared about their children, and when he knew the news, he sent eighteen things at noon, and the long queue made people red-eyed for a while.
"Don't go around, stay where I can see, stay with me when I'm fine, and stay with me when I'm fine. During the day I will accompany you to the study to go somewhere else, and at night you will eat and sleep with me. Gu Liangyue babbled a lot, and Qing Ruiting also responded one by one.
Gu Liangyue is not a procrastinator, but looking at her performance, Qing Ruiting also knows that her stepfather is not a good thing. He hurt her now, so he naturally listened to everything, and seeing that she still looked uneasy, he smoothed her brows, and fed her a little sour horn cake.
In the evening, Gu Liangyue asked people to invite Yunshuang to come. Qing Ruiyang has been pretty good to Yunshuang recently, and Yunshuang has also seen it since she was locked up for a time before, and has arranged the house properly, Qing Ruiyang is also in a good mood, and slowly, the life of the two of them is still comfortable. Not to mention the affection, but the respect is deserved.
"The Ninth Princess shouted so urgently, but what happened?" When Yunshuang heard the report from the family, she was arranging the dinner arrangement, Qing Ruiyang was about to have a birthday, and the whole family naturally wanted to celebrate. Before he could figure out a clue, he saw Cui Qi being introduced, and invited her to come over without humility or arrogance. came in a hurry, and my heart was a little uncomfortable.
"Gu Huai is back." Gu Liangyue didn't talk nonsense, and said directly. The sooner it is explained, the better it will be for them. Gu Huai was always in the dark, and they had to plan a thing or two.
"The beast still knows to come back." When Yunshuang heard the news, she gritted her teeth and said. It's good that people like Gu Huai don't come back, Gu Lingge's whereabouts are unknown now, and Gu Huai is back. She wasn't worried about Gu Huai, but Gu Lingge definitely didn't want to hear the news. "Does Sister know about this?" Yunshuang has always called Gu Lingge's sister in private, and since the last time she went to the house, she has called her like this.
"Well, An Yan told her personally, and then came back to tell us." Gu Liangyue took a piece of paper in her hand and looked at Yunshuang with a solemn expression. Gu Lingge wrote a few sentences, in addition to informing them that Gu Huai was back, he also said that he had not been away for a long time, and everyone swept the snow in front of the door by themselves, leaving nothing to worry about her.
In this case, we should know each other, and it should be rewarding to be strict and stubborn. I'm not afraid that he will come, but I'm afraid that he won't kill us. "Yunshuang may have stayed in the palace for a long time and forgot what kind of person Gu Huai is. Gu Liangyue glanced at her faintly, and did not say a word on the surface.
"You are not alone now, you live a good life in the mansion, you don't have to go out if you have nothing to do, Gu Huai is in the dark after all. In addition, take back all the forces outside, defend yourself, and leave some of them to guard in Changling, and don't face them hard when you encounter them. Gu Liangyue said to Yunshuang as much as she could. She can see that Yunshuang is no longer the Yunshuang she used to be, and now she doesn't have to worry about everything, she is a qualified housewife.
"Did Sister say anything else?" Yunshuang saw that Gu Liangyue's face was still stiff after the arrangement, and her inner intuition was still unclear, and she was a little uneasy in her heart. The glance that Gu Liangyue glanced at her just now made her suddenly understand what kind of position she was in, and suddenly she felt that her appearance just now was very ironic.
"No, you just take care of yourself." Gu Liangyue didn't tell her anything else, and sent off the guest after a few words. Gu Liangyue looked at the strong wind blowing outside, frowned slightly and sighed, and was soothed by a pair of hands stretched out from behind. She put her hand in Qing Ruiting's palm, and the warm heat was endless.
Yongyuan Palace
The blue clothes stood aside, Qing Ruifan took the red pen in his hand to watch the folds, time passed little by little, and the silence in the entire hall was terrifying, only the sound of the hourglass was swaying. It's like this every day, and the blue coat is used to it. What Qing Ruifan does every day is very simple, get up early, criticize the fold, take a lunch break, criticize the fold, and go to Fenglan Palace for the night.
"Your Majesty, just take a break, it's almost dark." Lan Yi handed over a cup of ginseng tea and whispered comfortingly. After lunch, Qing Ruifan has been lying on the desk and has not moved, no matter who comes, he will not see, no matter who says, he will not listen. Looking at the folds vigorously, the lines of his pale face were cold and hard, and he was carved with a knife and an axe.
"There's no hurry." Qing Ruifan has always answered this way, and Lan Yi said that he couldn't move him, but it was not a matter to go on like this. Gu Lingge was not there, and the Queen Mother was also gone, and no one could persuade him at all. Although it is said that the whole country is in order during this time, and countless people praise him, but he is simply fishing with all his might, and he does not care about himself at all.
"Blue Yi, how did you say that Rui Ran suddenly rebelled at that time?" Qing Ruifan has been thinking about this question for a long time, and something in his mind seems to have awakened in the past few days, making him undecided. He had an idea in his mind, which he thought was impossible, but it was the most reasonable. That's one, if he says it, the last bit of love between him and Gu Lingge will come to naught.
"Wechen doesn't know." Qing Ruifan didn't mention it, but when he mentioned the blue clothes, he felt that something was wrong. At that time, he was taking care of the Prince's Mansion in Beijing, but until the day of the palace, he didn't find anything wrong with Qing Ruiran. "Weichen remembered that at that time, the third prince was busy every day for that person to seek medical treatment everywhere, and his feet did not touch the ground."
"Wechen once met the third prince in the pharmacy, and at that time he was described as haggard and in poor spirits, and Wechen also comforted him twice." Blue Yi's brows were tightened, feeling that there were doubts everywhere during that time. Qing Ruifan listened to him, but his mind was even more uncertain.
It may be pretended to be haggard, and being so busy that your feet don't touch the ground doesn't necessarily mean that you are seeking medical treatment. But no matter how he assumed it, he intuitively felt that his third brother would not be so bold in an instant, even if he forced the palace, he still ridiculed himself countless times. He wasn't like that before.
"Well, if I think about it again, you can go down first." Qing Ruifan stopped his pen and took a sip of ginseng tea, his eyes were far away, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Blue shook his head and bowed out.
Fenglan Palace
"The emperor should still come over today." Jiang Quanyue sat on the guest seat, looked at the empty main seat, and said to Li Xia who was standing on the side. She comes over every day, and she is getting more and more acquainted with Lixia, and she can already talk a lot. Lixia doesn't have much to do in the palace, in addition to taking care of it every day, Jiang Quanyue can also be regarded as a companion.
Since the queen was sick, the assistant harem was handed over to Yang Li'er and Jiang Quanyue, and the two of them decided to divide and conquer, and each divided the scope of management, and the well water did not interfere with the river water. There was no such precedent in the harem, but Qing Ruifan didn't have much to do, and as soon as Yang Li'er said it, he agreed.
Yang Li'er, who was standing with most of the people in the palace, gradually spread rumors. said that no matter how arrogant Murong Zhi is, now he can only go to Ci'an Hall to practice, don't look at Concubine Wan silently, but after all, she has been with the emperor for so many years, and now she has finally survived and won the emperor's favor, it must be a deep blessing, what if you don't attach to her?
But in fact, the grace they said was just that Qing Ruifan did not refuse Yang Li'er to enter the Yongyuan Palace, and there were only two times.
"I don't know about this, anyway, go about your business." Lixia is not interested today. When she watered Yuanluo in the morning, she found that the flowers had withered several times, only seven or eight in total, and now that they had withered, they looked even more desolate. Thinking of Gu Lingge's great love for this flower before, but now that she was taken care of by herself, she couldn't help it.
"This ...... After all, it's winter, and withering is normal, so it's time to talk to your mother. Jiang Quanyue was taken to see the flowers in the corner, and then looked at Lixia's sad expression, so he could only comfort her like this. Gu Lingge is not reasonable, he will definitely be fine if he makes it clear.
"The slave is just thinking, this flower is Niangniang's favorite, when Niangniang was in the past, she stared at it every day, and it was finally ruined like this when she raised it." Lixia sighed, she didn't say it was good or bad, and when she talked about this, she felt even more sad, "I don't know when Niangniang will come back, and if she is doing well outside...... Lixia is already about to lose confidence.
"Take it one step at a time, we'll know." Jiang Quanyue patted Lixia's shoulder, stood up and walked towards the main hall. She herself didn't have confidence, but she knew that if Gu Lingge came back, he would already be pointed out by thousands of people and targeted by everyone.
Yunhu Hall.
Lu Nan has been very frizzy for the past two days. Last night, all the people he sent out were forcibly recalled, and then they didn't move the place after guarding Yunhu Hall. Lu Nan lost all the channels of contact with Gu Lingge. Of course, he knew that it was Gu Lingge's handiwork, and he also knew that it was for his good, but at present, he didn't need it.
"Sister Luo, do you think I should send another team of people?" At lunch, Lu Nan asked, quite humbly seeking advice. Feng Yiluo glanced at him, bent his index finger and tapped on his head, "What kind of stupid thing, since Lingge doesn't want you to know, then you won't know anyway, why do you still find something to do for yourself." With this idle time, you might as well learn more martial arts from your Mu family brothers, don't make yourself hurt and make your sister feel distressed. ”
Lu Nan looked at the white rice in the bowl and always felt that something was wrong. "Sister Luo, who is that Gu Huai? Why don't you look good when you mention it in the morning, are you a big devil? According to the rumors he heard along the way to Beijing, the biggest demon in the world is his sister Wind Ghost Liuli Gu Lingge, Gu Huai has never heard of it at all.
"No, he's the Rakshasa who trained your sister, the big devil." Feng Yiluo sighed, silently put down his chopsticks, and said no more. Chang'an asked Lu Nan about his reading at the interface, and Lu Nan also knew that he didn't want him to ask again, so he also borrowed the donkey from the slope to change the conversation.
After lunch, Yun Mu and the five of them came over and talked about things in the conference hall, because Lu Nan was cultivated by Gu Lingge, so it was logical to huddle with them, seeing that they all had serious expressions, and he was also sitting in a precarious position, like a little adult.
"Yunshuang said that she and Liangyue have discussed and sent someone to guard the Changling, once there is wind and grass over there, we can all know." Yun Fan said. Yunshuang didn't travel because of her identity, and she told Yunfan everything she needed to say. Now that Gu Lingge is not here, Feng Yiluo is the core of this group of people, so naturally everything must be explained clearly.
"The people we sent out last night all came back, saying that it was the order of the owner. Most of them have already arrived, and a few are still finishing up on their way. Mu Yi thought for a moment and said. When he received the news last night, he arranged to come back in batches, even if they didn't know Gu Lingge's whereabouts, they couldn't let others know.
"Well, for now, let's guard their respective mansions, and from today on, as long as it's not a matter of total annihilation, don't interfere." Feng Yiluo knew Gu Huai, this person likes to torture others the most, and he can do anything to lure the snake out of the hole, "Recently, there are a small number of homeless people in the city, if they are worried that the target is too big, they will scatter and act. ”
"Remember, don't move, don't startle the serpent." Wind Iloh concluded. Feng Yiluo has been following Gu Huai for so long, although he can't fully know what kind of person he is, but he has heard him say more than once that sooner or later he will kill Gu Lingge, a "little rabbit cub who is a big enemy." ”
She has never figured out why, in the end, the father can be a killer to his daughter, never carefully educate, not to mention, when he grows up, he still lets his children die, and if he can't die, he has to do it himself, what kind of father is it, how can he be so ruthless?
"Can't you take the initiative? We're too passive to keep stuffing like this. "The third child of the Mu family is usually not very talkative, and he has always been dull and dull in the martial arts hall, and he is the person who has the least contact with Gu Huai among the people here except Lu Nan, and he has always been short-tempered, but he has never come forward, but he has not attracted attention.
"No, he is the same as Lingge, we can only find him if he makes us find him." If it was that simple, why should they be bored? Who is Gu Huai, is it a lobbyist who can move the three families in the capital to dispatch for him overnight, the owner of Liuli Village who can build Liulizhuang in two months and let the yamen come to congratulate him, or Gu Lingge sent a secret guard to chase after the hidden person who has not even seen a single hair for nearly eight years.
No one knows how much strength he has, and no one knows how powerful he is, he is like a bottomless pit that makes people feel cold all over the body.
