Value peace

Chapter 221

Gu Xiyan served Qi Maosheng to drink most of the pot of tea, then put the teapot on the foot of the kang, and got back on the kang.

Qi Maosheng hugged Gu Xiyan, who was full of gentleness, and loved him wantonly in his arms, but he didn't dare to do anything seriously.During this period of time, Gu Xiyan has lost too much weight.Gu Xiyan had a faint sense of guilt in her heart, so she followed Qi Maosheng more docilely than usual. Qi Maosheng only felt elated, a hundred times happier than usual, and swept away the haze of this period of time.

The two played lingeringly for a while, Qi Maosheng saw that Gu Xiyan's face was tired, and kissed her on the cheek: "I'll hold you, you take a good rest."

Gu Xiyan huddled in Qi Maosheng's arms tiredly, still thinking about one thing, and said in a daze: "Maosheng, have you been busy these two days!"

"Not busy!" It's almost New Year's Eve, I've finished my busy work, and everything else is just a matter of etiquette, you can go or not, you can do it or not. "What's wrong?"

Gu Xiyan was a little hesitant: "If you are free... can you accompany me to the Guangming Temple... I heard that there is also a lotus-bearing elephant of the great god who shows the sky, please..., it is very effective..." Afterwards, it gradually decreased.

"Xiyan!" Qi Maosheng hugged her in surprise.

This is the first time that Gu Xiyan is willing to do anything for her children.

"Although I'm a bit superstitious," Gu Xiyan murmured, "We're going to pay our respects too... Anyway, it's very close here... We'll also take Zhao Nanny's medicine..."

"Xiyan!" Qi Maosheng hugged that thin body tightly, "Okay, let's go together, let's go to Guangming Temple together."

No matter what happens in the future, now, even for the sake of life, we must actively cooperate with Zhao Nanny's treatment... When that day really comes, I won't regret it!

Gu Xiyan smiled sweetly in Qi Maosheng's arms.

Qi Maosheng froze all over.

"What's wrong?" Gu Xiyan wondered.

"It's nothing!" Qi Maosheng said indifferently, but he showed a guarded look.

Gu Xiyan listened carefully, and there was a faint voice.

She turned pale with shock, and pushed Qi Maosheng beside her: "Maosheng, it seems that you are talking about 'the mother's will'..."

Qi Maosheng nodded with a serious face, and called out "Siping", only then remembered that Siping had been kicked by himself and sent him down to treat his injuries.

He frowned and got up to get dressed, but there was already a young man on duty outside the house asking respectfully: "Master, what orders do you have?"

Qi Maosheng thought for a while: "Go and call Erping!"

The people outside responded.

Gu Xiyan tugged on Qi Maosheng's sleeve: "Maosheng, is it right? Did someone call 'Empress' will'?"

Xiyan couldn't hear clearly, but Qi Maosheng could hear clearly.

A woman yelled "Qi Hao, I've brought my mother's will" twice with all her internal effort, and the last syllable was forcibly interrupted... Besides Gu Chaorong, who else has anything to do with him?But a few days ago, I heard that she was proud of her spring breeze and contacted the courtiers to discuss the matter of the emperor's personal administration... Could it be that there was a sudden change... But Yandi's spy agency didn't get any news...

Thinking of this, Qi Maosheng couldn't help becoming anxious.

"Maosheng..." Gu Xiyan who didn't get an answer immediately sat up, "I'll go and see too...

Qi Maosheng looked at the thin Gu Xiyan, hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

If it's really...Xi Yan is a younger sister, she should also know the content of the will...

Both were absent-mindedly dressing.

Gu Xiyan only felt that her mind was in a mess.

how so?how so?The will of the empress... the emperor's woman, she only knows Gu Chaorong... But Maosheng said that she is a very powerful person, and she was chosen by the empress dowager Fang to assist the emperor in government affairs...

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but startled.

"Maosheng... is it Xizhao, what happened?" Gu Xiyan stared at Qi Maosheng in a daze.

Qi Maosheng saw that Gu Xiyan's hands were trembling when she put on her clothes, so he stepped forward to help her fasten her skirt, and said in a deep voice, "I haven't received any news yet..."

Gu Xiyan's face turned pale.

In this time and space, no one understands the importance of information more deeply than Gu Xiyan.Whoever has the correct information first will be able to formulate the correct strategy...Even Maosheng doesn't know, so it can be seen how unusual this incident is...Politics is the bloodiest thing. If Gu Chaorong dies, Mrs. Gu He Panxi...

Gu Xiyan held Qi Maosheng's hand that tied her skirt: "Maosheng, go and help me find out what happened to my brother and stepmother? If... is there any way... as long as you can survive..."

Qi Maosheng nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will take care of it."

Gu Xiyan only felt a chill in her heart.

Qi Maosheng trembled a little when he saw her, but he was worried about the person who shouted in his heart.

Judging from the situation, it is likely that he broke into the Duke of Yan's mansion at night and was stopped by the Shuramen in the backyard... Maybe they didn't know the severity and killed him.Or, let Duan Yingluo accompany Xiyan first, and he goes to see the situation...

Qi Maosheng was hesitating when he heard Erping outside respectfully say: "Master Guo, what are your orders?"

Qi Maosheng cheered up, and hurriedly said: "You go to the backyard first to see who the Shura gate intercepted? I want to live. Then go to Mr. Ding and the third master, I have something important to discuss!"

Er Ping went away in response.

Qi Maosheng turned his head and said softly to Gu Xiyan: "It's cold outside, why don't I go and see the situation?"

Gu Xiyan's face turned pale, and she shook her head firmly: "Maosheng...I'm going too...Maybe it's my sister who has something to tell me..."

Speaking of this, the image of Gu Chaorong suddenly appeared very clearly in her mind.

The leisurely and calm look, like the sunshine in the courtyard in spring, brings warmth and laziness... It's really gone like this...

The corners of her eyes suddenly became moist.

What Xiyan said also makes sense... Last time Gu Chaorong came to ask for the key... The Gu family is also a family with hundreds of years of history, maybe there is something secretive to tell Xiyan... Since I didn't ask Picking up Duanniang's key shows that the attitude is that she won't get the Gu family's things, so it's better to just throw it all away...

Having made up his mind, Qi Maosheng nodded and said, "That's fine... just need to add some clothes..."

When Xiyan came, she was only wearing a jacket... It was windy and snowy outside, and he was tossing her a lot just now... But don't catch a cold... Her body is so boned, but she can't get it anymore. I can't bear any pain.

Qi Maosheng looked left and right, found a piece of his own jacket from the kang cabinet, and put it on Gu Xiyan: "First use it to keep out the wind and cold."

At this time, Gu Xiyan didn't care about these things, she wrapped her robe indiscriminately, and followed Qi Maosheng out of the house.

The immaculate snowflakes were falling on their skirts one after another. The two of them took a shortcut and entered the backyard from the narrow path next to the pear garden. As soon as they stepped out of the corner door, they saw Mrs. Wei in a red dress standing on the corridor with a smile in the snow. .

"Qi Hao?" Someone next to him asked.

It was only then that Gu Xiyan realized that at the corner of a corner door in the corridor, there was a woman in white clothes standing with a sword. Because it was a snowy night and the distance was a little far away, Gu Xiyan didn't see who was coming, but I think this sound is very familiar.

"I'm Qi Hao!" Qi Maosheng who was beside him stepped forward a few steps and stood with his head held high, his gaze fixed and his expression fixed.

Mrs. Wei retreated to the wall beside her, and gave the dominance to Qi Maosheng, who was as imposing as a sword.

When the woman heard this, her upright body relaxed a little: "I want to see the second girl."

"Since Your Majesty asked you to bring your will, did you give you any tokens?" Qi Maosheng answered irrelevantly, and said harshly.

When the woman heard it, she proudly said: "You let the second girl come out to see me, she will know me when she sees me!"

Qi Maosheng hesitated for a moment.

Indeed, there are some things that only the Gu family knows.

When Gu Xiyan heard this, she walked out from behind Qi Maosheng without thinking too much: "You are looking for me, what is the matter?"

The woman stared at her carefully for a moment, then said in surprise, "Why are you so thin..."

Gu Xiyan still didn't recognize who the woman was, and when she heard her asking such a secret question, she said vaguely: "No, it's because I've been sick for a while... I haven't recovered yet... Who the hell are you... "While speaking, he held Qi Maosheng's hand, as if that was the only way to feel safer.

Although they said that the woman who broke into the Duke's mansion at night has been forced into a corner by them, but who knows what will happen to the dying person...

Bao Niang and Qin Niang couldn't help but took two steps forward, trying to get in front of Qi Maosheng.

Mrs. Wei, who saw the movement, waved her hand lightly, signaling them to leave it alone.

Bao Niang and Qin Niang retreated behind Mrs. Wei, but the woman took the initiative to come over: "Second Miss, I'm Cui Baoyi!"

"Master Cui!" Gu Xiyan exclaimed in surprise, and then she understood.

Based on the relationship between Cui Baoyi and Gu Chaorong, as well as her status in the palace, she is indeed the most suitable person to deliver the letter.

"My sister... She, she really..." Gu Xiyan stopped in her tracks, with a hint of disbelief in her voice.

Cui Baoyi didn't answer, but said: "My lord, the matter is very important, can you find a secluded place to talk."

Without hesitation, Qi Maosheng took Gu Xiyan's hand and walked towards the hanging flower gate of Gongshun Courtyard: "Let's go to Huaiyuan."

* * * * * *
The glazed chandelier still brightly illuminates the scarlet peony carpet, giving people a warm feeling in the snowy night.

Qi Maosheng sat in the first seat, Cui Baoyi sat on the grand teacher's chair on his right, Gu Xiyan took off the jacket wrapped around her body under Qinniang's service and sat on the grand teacher's chair opposite Cui Baoyi, Baoniang served Wei Madam went into the inner room, while Qin Niang stood at the second door with the people from Shuramen.

Qi Maosheng had a gentle attitude and said politely: "Miss Cui, tell me, you have brought the imperial concubine's will, and the imperial concubine..."

Cui Baoyi nodded, and said: "The emperor gave birth to scabies in June, and it has not improved over and over again. On November [-], the crown prince persuaded the emperor to stay in the royal palace in Shanglin for a while because Shengjing was not suitable for recuperation. Time. The emperor has been tossed by this scabies for several months, just when he was impatient, so he insisted on going to Shanglin Palace despite the dissuasion of the imperial concubine. The imperial concubine had no choice but to go together. Fifteen days ago , the emperor fell into a coma after taking a dose of medicine prescribed by Ma Taiyi. Because Ma Taiyi was ordered by the imperial concubine, the crown prince imprisoned the imperial concubine in a side hall of another palace... …Seven days ago, the personal lady next to the imperial concubine came to me suddenly. The imperial concubine had already been given Jiujiu…Before she died, she asked me to bring something to the Duke of the country. Fulfill a last wish for the imperial concubine!"

(Thank you for everything you did during May Day, which gave me the courage to calm down and tell a story that we are all interested in during the complicated moments of the world! Thank you!)
