Chapter 49: Death Day
"Seventh Master, the princess doesn't seem to be in the West Courtyard." Jiang He and Ye Yanqi reported.
Ye Yanqi was reading a book and said disappreciably: "Isn't this normal? ”
Gu Fenghua was busy with the affairs of the pharmacy, he was all dressed in stars and moons, and he was used to it.
"Maybe it's because of the continuous robbery, Miss Plum Shadow seems to be very anxious." Jiang He said again.
"She handled it pretty well." Ye Yanqi turned a few pages of the book disapprenosingly, paused suddenly, seemed to remember something, and frowned slightly, "Go to the West Courtyard and have a look." ”
When they arrived at the West Courtyard, the two saw Mei pacing back and forth like headless flies, but they didn't notice that they had entered the hospital.
"Where's the princess?" Jiang He asked out loud.
Mei Ying was taken aback by these words, and when she saw Ye Yanqi and Jiang He, she said hesitantly: "Master...... Probably in ...... Anhetang, is there something wrong with the prince looking for the master? ”
"Today is the death day of my father-in-law and mother-in-law, right?" Ye Yanqi asked.
Does the prince know?
When Mei Ying heard Ye Yanqi ask like this, she couldn't care so much, and said anxiously: "Yes." In previous years, when this day came, the young lady was sad in her heart, and always found a place to hide alone. In Jiangnan, we know where she went, but now in the capital, we don't know where to find it. Lord Wang, can you send someone to secretly go back to the mansion with me to find out? But don't alarm the old lady. ”
Mei Ying was in a hurry, and directly called out the old name of Miss.
Ye Yanqi didn't care about these false claims, his face showed a rare sadness, but he still asked calmly: "Don't worry, when did you find out?" ”
"Around midnight, I was about to serve the young lady to rest." Mei Ying replied.
"You rest first, and leave this matter to me." After speaking, Ye Yanqi and Jiang He turned around and walked out.
"Check it out, is the princess out of the house?" Ye Yanqi gave Jiang He an order and returned to the East Courtyard on his own.
He gave Gu Fenghua great freedom, and there were no restrictions on entering and leaving the palace, but this did not mean that the guards of the palace were useless.
It didn't take long for Jiang He to come back, "Go back to the seventh master, the princess has not left the house." ”
The entry and exit of the palace are recorded, and even if you climb over the wall, you can be found.
Although Gu Fenghua is strong in martial arts, it is not difficult to avoid the eyes and ears of the palace and leave the palace, but she does not have to do this.
Ye Yanqi thought carefully, and after half a moment, he pushed his wheelchair out of the small door of the east courtyard.
If you say that the least ear-eyed places in the house are your own east courtyard and the surrounding area.
Out of the small gate was a larger courtyard, with a few old trees that could not be hugged by two people, and the branches were luxuriant, and it was a good place to hide.
He searched slowly, tree by tree, until he reached the deepest tree, but there was still no one to be seen.
Isn't it here? He doubted his own judgment and pondered it.
A breeze blows, the branches and leaves rustle, and the smell of wine enters the nose.
When he looked up, he saw a woman sitting on a thick branch, holding a jug of wine in her hand, and seemed to be asleep.
In addition to the wine in his hand, he saw about seven or eight wine jugs resting on the branches of the tree next to him.
He turned out to be an alcoholic.
He leaned down and picked up a pebble and bounced it at her with some force. He had calculated that the stone would bounce her off, but with her skills, the moment she fell, she could use light skills to protect herself.
But for some reason, the woman in front of her actually fell straight down, and it seemed that she really didn't react in her sleep.
Ye Yanqi quickly moved the wheelchair forward and took her in his arms.
The speed of this scene is jaw-dropping, and if anyone sees it, they can tell that the man in the wheelchair is a master.
This is also the first time that Ye Yanqi can't help but show his martial arts for so many years.
Gu Fenghua, who fell in Ye Yanqi's arms, was woken up, she opened her eyes dimly, looked at the man in front of her, and laughed out loud, "You are so good-looking, are you a fairy child in the sky?" ”
A smell of wine came to his face, Ye Yanqi frowned, he was really drunk.
I saw the woman in his arms stretch out her hand, touch his eyebrows one by one, and murmured: "Don't worry, fairy child, why do you frown as much as my father." ”
Ye Yanqi wanted to open her hand and throw the drunkard out of her arms, but she hesitated because she mentioned "Daddy".
When General Gu and his wife died, she was only ten years old, what kind of grief was that? Her pain is definitely different from his own, after all, he has never had the care of his father, and she has had it, but she lost it suddenly.
"Fairy Child, are you here to take me to see Daddy and Auntie?" Suddenly, the woman in her arms choked, her eyes were filled with water, and she looked pitiful.
"I have a lot to say to them, a lot to ask them."
"Do they remember my troublesome daughter?"
"Did they miss me? I...... I miss them so much, I miss them so much. ”
Tears crawled all over the beautiful face, Ye Yanqi's heart ached, he pulled out his hand and gently wiped her tears, and coaxed softly: "Don't cry, your father and aunt miss you too." ”
Hearing the response, the woman in her arms suddenly laughed, "Xiantong, you can speak, I thought that the secret of heaven could not be revealed!" ”
After saying this, her head was close to Ye Yanqi's chest and wiped all her tears on the placket of his clothes.
Ye Yanqi's face darkened suddenly, but he still resisted the urge to throw her out.
Fenghua wiped away her tears, and there was still a deep drunkenness in her eyes, and she spoke to herself.
"I was ten years old that year, it was the season of spring flowers in Jiangnan, and my father and aunt promised to come back to help me catch the bear blind, but I was looking forward to it, but I waited for the news of going to the northwest to mourn."
"From the red flowers and willows to the yellow desert, I walked on that road when I was young, I was very used to it, but for some reason, it was so long and so strange, and the yellow sand in the sky was overwhelming us, as if it was going to swallow us up."
"At that time, I thought, engulfing will be engulfed, so that I can see Grandma and Daddy. I deliberately lay down, but my brother picked me up with one hand and carried me out of the dust. ”
"When I arrived in the northwest city, all I saw were two coffins, and I cried and cried to see my mother and my father, but they said that the northwest was bitterly cold, and there was no ice to preserve, so it was unrecognizable. But what about being unrecognizable? I just want to see them again, no matter what they become, they will always be my favorite parents. ”
"In the end, I still didn't get to see them. I only remember that many people were blowing and beating, and the people all over the city were crying, and I followed the whole process in a daze, walking corpse, but now I have forgotten all of them, and I don't even remember how I got back to Jiangnan. ”
After a period of silence, Fenghua's drunken eyes moved to Ye Yanqi, and asked self-deprecatingly: "Xiantong, do you think I am very unfilial?" I forgot something so important. ”
Listening to the sad past and looking at the sad face, Ye Yanqi's heart was pulled up one by one, and his face was sad.
He stroked her face, wanting to wipe away the sadness on that face, and said softly: "You are very good, your aunt and father will not blame you." ”
