Chapter 20: Temptation (12,000 Pushes and Changes)
"What's wrong?" Ji Xiao felt that Zhuo Qing's mood had changed.
Zhuo Qing muttered, "Childe, it's dead." ”
Ji Xiao's expression froze, and he said, "Make it clear." ”
"The stone lion outside the mansion is wrapped in a white scarf, it must be a dead person in the mansion. "Zhuo Qing is not stupid, only the prefect and his family have passed away, and they are qualified to mourn in the mansion, and everyone else is not qualified. And he learned that the prefect's family was only the rumored Miss Gu, who looked like a fairy, and there was no one else.
Either something happened to the prefect, or something happened to the prefect's daughter.
What he can think of, Ji Xiao can naturally think of.
At this time, it was still early, and the white scarf on the stone lion was also newly wrapped, so I am afraid that there were still very few people who got the news, so only the servants went in and out inside and outside the palace.
Ji Xiao wanted to know the truth more and more, got out of the carriage, and walked towards the gate.
Menzi stopped him.
Ji Xiao frowned and said, "I'm Ji Xiao from Four Seasons Villa, haven't you seen it before?" ”
Menzi is a local, how can he not know the Four Seasons Villa, not to mention that the prefect of the prefect can personally bring the son in front of him into the mansion the day before yesterday, he didn't dare to offend, nodded busily, and squeezed out tears and said: "Childe, my young lady just left last night, and no one wants to see it." ”
Ji Yu pressed Menzi's shoulder and said slowly, "Who did you say left?"
He couldn't help but stiffen his hands, and the shoulder of the menzi he pinched hurt. Menzi exclaimed bitterly: "It's my young lady." ”
Ji Xiao let go of his hand, his expression was a little dazed, and then he calmed down and said gently: "I'm sorry, I lost my temper for a while, and I ask you to report to Master Gu, just say that Ji Yu is visiting." ”
Menzi begged: "Ji Gongzi, let go of the little one, I really don't dare to go in and report it." ”
Ji Xiao said lightly: "You have to think clearly. ”
He didn't say a word of threat, but a pressure was exerted on Menzi, not to mention that the prestige of the Four Seasons Villa was deeply rooted in Cangzhou, Menzi really couldn't resist, and said helplessly: "I'll go in and report it, if it doesn't work, don't blame me." Menzi knew that if the prefect was angry, he would eat a meal at most, if the prince of the Four Seasons Villa was angry, Cangzhou Mansion was afraid that someone would clean up his family.
The door went in to report, and Ji Xiao stood outside the door, without saying a word. He didn't believe that Gu Weirui was really dead at all, and he didn't want Gu Weirui to die.
............
Gu Rong stayed alone in his daughter's boudoir, and his daughter was lying quietly on the bed, but her face was no longer bloodless, and he didn't know why her daughter left suddenly. The daughter has been in poor health since she was a child, which is the root of the disease that fell from the mother's womb. blamed him for not preventing his wife from becoming pregnant at that time, so that his wife was very injured after giving birth to her daughter and left early, and her daughter was also born weak and suffered a lot of torture.
He used his clan connections to find the medical saint Li Jing and begged him to cure his daughter. Li Jing put forward the condition at that time to accept his daughter as an apprentice, he thought that his daughter would not be able to take the imperial examination after all, and whether she studied medicine, at least she could have a healthy body in the future.
Her daughter has been studying medicine with Li Jing since she was a child, and Gu Rong doesn't know how good her medical skills are, but her daughter is indeed getting healthier day by day, and she likes flowers and trees as much as he does. But the daughter didn't have the true inheritance of his master, otherwise how could she suddenly fall ill and die. The doctor who was found in the middle of the night last night was put on his neck with a knife, and he still trembled and told Gu Rong that his daughter Gu Weirui's heart was dead, and the immortals couldn't save her.
Gu Rong laughed miserably, why wasn't he who died. Why did his wife and daughter leave early, but he was still very healthy. He has been practicing the five poultry dramas passed on to him by Li Jing all these years, just to watch his daughter grow up in good health, so as not to be old and weak in the future, and have to drag down his daughter.
But why was this, what mistake had he made, or what god had he offended, and he had to be punished in this way.
When Gu Rong fell into deep grief, someone knocked on the door gently, and Gu Rong said angrily: "Didn't I say that no one is allowed to disturb me." ”
The servant outside said softly: "The Four Seasons Villa's Ji Xiao Ji Gongzi is asking to see him outside. ”
"Nobody was seen. Gu Rong almost shouted.
The servant whispered, "Yes." ”
Gu Rong said again: "Who do you say?"
"The Four Seasons Villa's Ji Xiao Ji Gongzi. The servant amplified his voice slightly.
Gu Rong was silent for a while, it turned out to be the young man, and he said, "Ji Xiao knows about the affairs of the house?"
"I just knew. The servant said softly.
Gu Rong said: "You bring him." ”
He thought of Ji Xiao's magical ability to rejuvenate the grass and trees, and he had some expectations in his heart, and he always looked at this young man a little differently.
After a while, Ji Yu followed the servants of the mansion in, he couldn't see the plain white arrangement around him, but he could feel the sorrow in the mansion.
He came to Gu Weirui's boudoir, and on the night before he put the girl back here, and at this moment he would see the girl again. The girl who was still alive the night before seems to be a cold corpse now.
He couldn't be sure, and he didn't want to test Gu Weirui in front of Gu Rong without scruples. Because he didn't feel Gu Weirui's breathing and heartbeat last night, and he didn't feel it at this time.
Gu Rong said: "Sit down." ”
Ji Xiao subconsciously replied: "Uncle's Day mourning." ”
Gu Rong said: "Ji Xiao, can I ask you for one thing." ”
Ji Xiao said with a straight face: "Uncle just orders." ”
"Look at the way we can still save it, just like you saved those two potted plants. Gu Rong's eyes were full of hope.
Ji Xiao said: "People and plants are different. ”
Gu Rong said: "You try it, I know you must have some special abilities, don't worry, I will never ask, and I will not tell others." ”
Ji Yu sighed in his heart, Gu Rong can be admitted to the second-class jinshi, he must be extraordinary, he really guessed that it is not so simple for him to save the potted plants, but his ability is limited to grass and trees. However, he really didn't try it on people, and there might be an accident, so he said, "Then I'll try." ”
Gu Rong said: "Okay, good." He had cuffs to wipe the tears from his eyes, he didn't dare to have any hope at this moment, but he couldn't be more desperate, otherwise why would he ask Ji Xiao.
Ji Yu arrived at Gu Weirui's bed and said to Gu Rong: "Uncle forgive me for offending Ling Ai." ”
Gu Rong said: "It's okay. ”
Ji Yu put an index finger on Gu Weirui's wrist, just like Gu Weirui gave him a pulse in the garden yesterday, and even the technique was exactly the same. He has a certain amount of plant essence in his body in case of emergency, and at this time, all of it is vented through his index finger and enters Gu Weirui's body.
The essence of the plants and trees passed, like a stone sinking to the bottom of the sea, and it could not be shocked for half a minute. No, a very cold aura actually went down his index finger and entered his meridians, and when he thought that this cold aura was going to wreak havoc in his body, it was suddenly absorbed by something and disappeared into nothingness.
His fingers trembled slightly, and he was shaken away by an invisible force, and Ji Xiao was silent for a long time. He couldn't figure out whether Gu Weirui was dead or not, judging from the pulse, it was indeed a broken heart, but that extremely cold breath was obviously not simple.
