Gu Shiyi was startled. He turned around and saw that the lion also turned to look at him. The two stone eyes were still spinning in their sockets. He asked again,

"...Why do you want to come to my yamen?"

Gu Shiyi smiled with him,

"Um... may I ask... is Lord Situ Xiao here?"

"Situ Xiao..."

The stone lion's eyes were dazed for a while before he replied,

"Situ Baiwei went out today and was not in the Yamen!"

The Qing Ling Guard is just like a mortal government office. There are people on duty every day. Those who are not on duty can go out, but Situ Xiao is not here today.

"Oh...thank you, thank you!"

Gu Shiyi hurriedly cupped his fists and saluted the stone lion, then turned around and left in disappointment.

That’s all, I’ll ask after a few days, anyway, I won’t leave Huangjing City for a while!

She still hasn’t seen Brother Cheap!

Now that she was here, she went around to the Qitian Temple to have a look, but she said that the emperor had passed away and the imperial master had gone to the palace to preside over the funeral. All the disciples in the temple were taken away, leaving only some of them. If the little Taoist boy wants to see the imperial master, he has to wait until the emperor's funeral is over.

This meant that there was no telling when Senior Brother Xiang would be able to leave the palace. Gu Shiyi returned disappointed again, so he simply stayed in Fangguanzhong, walking around the capital every day during the day, removing evil spirits from people, and looking after minor illnesses at night. Just sit cross-legged and meditate. Apart from worrying about Yan'er in Pu Mansion, my life is comfortable and carefree.

And Pu Yanlan's condition in the Pu Mansion is getting better day by day. She can get out of bed and walk around, and she can eat. Her face looks rosier day by day, and she has gained weight. She is a person who has died once. , having a second life, of course I cherish it very much. I eat when I am told to eat, and take medicine when I am told to take medicine. I am not shy at all, which makes the two elders of the Pu family very happy.

Pu Yanlan spent some time with these two elders and found that they were really good to her daughter. She had not been loved by her parents since she was a child, but now that she has parents who treat her very well, she treats them sincerely.

On this day, Pu Yanlan was reading in her boudoir, but suddenly she heard a thunder in the sky outside. The maid Ling'er was startled and went to close the window.

"Miss, I'm afraid it's going to rain!"

Pu Yanlan frowned, shook her head and said,

"Don't close the window!"

Ling'er followed the instructions and did not close the window. She just stood in front of the window and looked at the sky.

"Eh... I'm so surprised. It's a sunny day and there's thunder. It doesn't look like it's going to rain..."

Pu Yanlan put down the book in her hand, walked slowly to the window, looked at the sky, and felt an inexplicable palpitation in her heart.

"No, this is not thunder, but something is in the sky?"

She didn't speak, just frowned and looked. Sure enough, after about a stick of incense, a black cloud suddenly appeared over the imperial city, and then quickly filled half of the sky in Huangjing.

"Oops! It's really going to rain. With such a big black cloud, I don't know how heavy the rain will be."

Xi'er also came over to take a look. Pu Yanlan's brows became more and more tense. Not long after, there was a sudden rumble in the sky and bursts of thunder. The maids were all frightened and turned pale. Only the young lady remained calm and leaned against the window. In front of me, I looked up and saw the black clouds rolling in, and something seemed to be sticking out of it. The maids didn't see it, but Pu Yanlan saw it clearly. It was clearly a huge ghost head, and there was another one standing under the ghost head. The person, looking at the back, is thin and thin, she looks like a woman!

Pu Yanlan's heart was shocked,

"This is not a celestial phenomenon. It is clearly a battle between cultivators!"

She had heard Eleven talk about this kind of thing and had seen it herself, but this was the first time she had seen such a huge fight.

Pu Yanlan became a little worried.

"If you don't say that cultivators are not allowed to fight in places where mortals gather, why would they fight in the sky above this city?"

It's a pity that the red fox is not here now. Otherwise, if you ask it or Eleven, you might know something?

Of course she didn't know that Gu Shiyi wrote a thick letter to her that night describing the fighting that day.

At this time, a woman hurriedly ran into the front yard and came in and said,

"Miss, my wife sent an old slave over to take a look. She said it was a strange thunderclap in the sky. She was afraid that you would be frightened, so she asked the old slave to come over and ask..."

Pu Yanlan smiled,

"Go back and tell your mother that there is nothing wrong with me, it's just a few droughts, and my daughter is not that squeamish!"

The old woman nodded when she heard this, and then told the two maids,

"The madam said, if the young lady is afraid, please stay with her and don't run around!"

"Yes!"

The two maids looked at each other and thought to themselves,

"You see, the lady doesn't look scared at all, but the two of us were quite frightened. Every time the thunder struck, we would tremble. If it wasn't for the lady, we would have hugged each other and got under the covers. It’s in!”

The mother-in-law left and went to the front to report back to the madam. The madam smiled and said,

"This child has been afraid of thunder since he was a child, but now that he has grown up, he is not afraid anymore..."

The mother-in-law said,

"Miss, you are a person who has gone through a catastrophe of life and death. People say that if you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed later. With the blessing of the gods, Miss, there are no taboos!"

Mrs. Pu laughed after hearing this.

"You're such a mouthful, it's really aggrieved that you won't be rewarded!"

The mother-in-law said,

"It's the slaves' blessing that the master wants to reward you, so the old slave will naturally follow suit!"

"Bah, bah...you shameless person!"

Mrs. Pu smiled and said, she really asked someone to take the money and give it to the mother-in-law. While the master and servant were chatting and laughing, the thunder in the sky finally stopped and the black clouds dispersed. The lady breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Finally no more thunder." "It's been ringing for a long time but no raindrops have fallen. It's really strange!"

The mother-in-law said,

"There are times when there are droughts and thunders. I remember that it was the same when His Majesty ascended the throne. There were droughts and thunders for a long time..."

"You said that, but now I think about it, this really happened..."

Just as he was talking and shouting, a boy came running in to report.

"Madam, there are guards from the palace coming outside to announce that the master has entered the palace!"

Mrs. Pu frowned when she heard this.

"What happened?"

The boy shook his head,

"The people from the palace didn't say anything, but I looked at the official with a solemn expression. I'm afraid it's not a good thing!"

Mrs. Pu's heart skipped a beat after hearing this, and she hurriedly gave instructions,

"Quickly send someone to the back to report to the master and ask him to change into official uniform!"

"Yes!"

Not long after, Mr. Pu came out in a hurry. He had been in the officialdom for a long time and had already become a master. And the black clouds in front were rising from the imperial city. He had a premonition that something happened in the palace today, so he said goodbye before leaving. His wife said,

"You and Lan'er must not leave the house. Instruct the servants to close the four doors tightly and not to move around at will!"

Mrs. Pu nodded,

"Master, do you want to send someone to deliver a message to Tian'er?"

Mr. Pu thought for a moment and shook his head.

"No need, he has been in seclusion in the Temple of Prayer for Heaven since he returned to the capital. With the relationship between the Imperial Master and the palace, we don't need to send the letter. He might know it earlier than we do!"

Mrs. Pu nodded and watched her husband get on the sedan chair and leave. Then she turned around and ordered everyone,

"Close the door, no entry or exit allowed!"

"Yes!"

Master Pu did not return home that day. Pu Yanlan received a letter from Gu Shiyi in the evening. Only then did she understand what happened in the sky above the imperial city today, and thought to herself,

"No wonder dad was called to the palace not long after Lei Ting stopped. It seemed that it was because the emperor was about to die..."

It would be no shame for such an emperor to die!

I really envy Eleven. I actually know such an expert and got a gift from her. Now that I have a body, I don’t know if this body can cultivate. If it can, I will cultivate with Eleven in the future. We will have a long life together. Be sisters for a long time!

So in the middle of the night, someone sent a message saying that the emperor had passed away, and every household in the capital was asked to mourn. Mrs. Pu gathered people overnight to sew mourning clothes. After hearing the news, Pu Yanlan also went to the front yard. When Mrs. Pu saw her coming, she Feeling distressed, he came over and touched her hand.

"My daughter, you are so naked in the middle of the night. What are you doing out here?"

Pu Yanlan said,

"I heard that my mother asked people in the house to work all night. My daughter wants to come and see if there is anything I can do to help her."

Mrs. Pu was greatly relieved after hearing this.

"My son, you are doing me a favor!"

Then someone brought a chair over for Pu Yanlan to sit on, leaving her to watch from the side.

"You are weak and can't stay up late. Just watch for a while and then go back to sleep!"

Pu Yanlan nodded and sat with him for an hour before going back to sleep.

After that, everyone in the mansion was on a vegetarian diet and wore mourning clothes for several days, except for Pu Yanlan. Mrs. Pu was worried that her daughter had not recovered from her serious illness, so she secretly cooked some meat dishes to replenish her daughter's health. Although Pu Yanlan was in the mansion, Red foxes would come in every night with messages, and they knew a lot about the outside world. The emperor didn't hold his breath for long, and only hurriedly explained his funeral affairs before he died. Logically speaking, the prince should succeed him, but the emperor was the last person who died during his lifetime. I'm happy that the third prince has a strong mother's family, and many ministers in the court support the third prince...

What's more, on the night of the third day after the emperor's death, a riot broke out at the west gate of the imperial city. Thanks to the general protecting the country, he led the garrison outside Beijing to suppress it, and the matter was calmed down. I heard that the third prince was dissatisfied with the crown prince's succession and launched a riot. mutiny...

Why is it that the third prince is under house arrest and his mother and concubine hang themselves in the palace...

But some people say that the prince is not your majesty’s biological son, but the son of the late empress and someone else...

Anyway, when it comes to killing people like this, Gu Shiyi heard a lot of the news spread all over the capital, and wrote all of them as anecdotes to Yan'er. Pu Yanlan read them as current news every night, and wrote back to Gu. Talk about things in the house on the eleventh day.

After five or six days, Pu Yanlan's eldest brother Pu Yuntian, who had not been seen since returning to Beijing, returned home. On this day, Pu Yanlan was accompanying Mrs. Pu to settle accounts and calculate the expenses for the funeral in the past few days. I saw someone coming to report.

"Madam, the young master is back!"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Pu quickly put down the account book in her hand and said with a smile,

"Just come back!"

I looked at the courtyard gate, but saw no one coming in, so I asked immediately,

"Why don't you come in?"

The boy who reported the news had a bitter look on his face.

"Madam, the young master has been carried back. He's walking slowly. I'm afraid he hasn't reached the second gate yet!"

"what?"
