Powerful

Chapter 2
The sun is slanting to the west, and the spring breeze in February is still chilly. When it blows in through the diamond-patterned window lattice, it makes people feel soberly chilled.

At this moment, Gu Yan was quietly looking at himself in the carved bronze mirror, with an expression of crying and smiling, which looked very creepy.

The bronze mirror in front of her is in the style of peonies with tangled branches and pistils, which looks very rich.Gu Yan knew that this was a trick favored by noble girls from Jingzhao, and it lasted for a long time.Only four years later, no girl is using it anymore.

All because, at that time, everyone liked a cool and lonely flower, a lonely and thin plum tree, or a jackdaw with a withered branch, in order to please that person.

The little girl in the mirror looked about twelve or thirteen years old, but her expression was sad, her brows and eyes were full of joy, her pale face and the gauze tied on her forehead made her look even more pitiful.

Gu Yan remembers that she, who was pampered by her parents since she was a child, fell off the rockery at home when she was 12 years old.

That was the first time she was injured, and it was also the starting point of the Gu family's tragedy.She recalled and hoped countless times in the future, if she didn't fall off the fake, it would be fine...

If she hadn't fallen, she wouldn't have been unconscious, and her anxious parents wouldn't have gone to Xishan overnight to ask Mr. Zhang, and they wouldn't have been ambushed and killed in the middle of the night. will gradually wither...

The source of everything was because she fell off the rockery.

She was thinking about what happened back then, so she went back to that time, didn't she?
After she killed Qin Ji, she became seriously ill, and within three to five days, she was dying.The vengeance was avenged, and she had no love in life, and she didn't even drink the medicine, until she closed her eyes unconsciously.

She thought she was dead, so she could go see her parents and loved ones with peace of mind, but she just opened her eyes and went back to her room in the boudoir.On the dressing table, there are the flower decorations of jade swallows that I loved when I was young, the dragonfly chasing flowers to comb the back, and the purple jade on the red sandalwood table on the left. in the boudoir.

Is this a dream or real?

Just as Gu Yan was in a daze, there was a rustling sound at the door, the curtain was pushed open, and a round face and two swirls watched the very festive maid walk in.

Seeing Gu Yan sitting in front of the dressing table, she froze for a moment, then said happily. "Thank God, girl, you've finally woken up! Great, great! The maidservant informs the wife and the master!"

Gu Yan stared straight at the happy maid, not knowing how to react.

This is the big maid Shui Lu, Shui Lu who has long been dead!
Back then, Shui Lu followed her parents to Xishan to seek medical treatment, and also died in that ambush.Why is she still standing here alive?This scene never happened back then.

Also, Shui Lu said that the wife and the master are father and mother?What's going on here, could it be, did she go back to the time?Back when I was 12 years old?
Shui Lu looked at the dumbfounded Gu Yan, the smile on her face stopped, and she called cautiously: "Girl, girl..."

Seeing that Gu Yan still didn't respond, Shui Lu was frightened. The girl fell from the rockery and fell stupidly, right?
Immediately, her voice became tense: "Girl, don't scare the slaves! Xinghuang, Xinghuang, hurry up and tell the master and wife that the girl is awake, and tell them not to go to Xishan!"

Hearing Shui Lu's cries, Gu Yan blinked, tears fell down, and then slowly broke into a smile.

That's right, she is back at 12 years old, not dreaming, it's real!Not only Shanzi and comb back are not damaged, even Shuilu is alive!Shuilu is still alive, isn't it, father and mother are still alive?

Gu Yan anxiously wanted to go outside the door to see what happened, but just stood up, and staggered a bit.She was already a delicate girl, but she fell down from the rockery again, and she will be weak now.

"Girl, go and lie on the bed, go and lie on the bed." Seeing this, Shui Lu hurriedly said, helping Gu Yan onto the bed.

Not long after, hurried footsteps sounded outside the door, the curtain at the door was pushed open again, a middle-aged couple walked in, followed by several servants.

These two people are Gu Yan's parents, Gu Chong'an and Fu Shi.

They looked worried, Fu's eyes were red, and his steps were unsteady.It wasn't until she saw Gu Yan with her eyes open that she unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

"A Bi, you've finally woken up, you scared my mother to death!" Fu Shi took three steps in parallel, and quickly approached Gu Yan, her voice choked up.

Gu Yan's nickname is A Bi, which was given by his grandfather Fu Tong himself.The only ones who would call her that way were the elders.

"It's fine, don't scare Ah Bi." Seeing this, Gu Chong'an coughed twice and said.

After hearing this, Mrs. Fu hurriedly let go of Gu Yan, looked Gu Yan from head to toe, and kept asking: "How do you feel now? What's wrong? Father and mother are going to invite Zhang Lao gentlemen……"

Fu's non-stop talking at this time is actually a deep fear.

Earlier, Gu Yan had been in a coma, and even the imperial doctor in the palace was helpless. He said helplessly that maybe Mr. Zhang from Xishan could wake Gu Yan up.

Mr. Zhang Lao was former imperial pharmacist, and lived in Xishan when he was old. He is skilled in medicine but has a weird temper, so he can't be easily invited.Hearing that he especially sympathized with being a mother, Mrs. Fu planned to follow Gu Chong'an to go to Xishan.

Unexpectedly, they heard the servant girl rushing to report that Gu Yan had woken up, so Fu Shi and Gu Chong'an rushed over.

"Father...mother..." Gu Yan's eyes moved, and he called out, with just one cry, tears fell like rain.

She looked at the woman in front of her, her face was round and graceful, this was her mother, the mother in her memory.There is also the father, the father has a concerned face at the moment, with a broad forehead and long eyebrows, and a friendly look.

In the previous life, after Gu Yan fell off the rockery, she never saw Gu Chong'an and Mrs. Fu again.When Gu Chong'an and Mrs. Fu died, they were stabbed dozens of times, and their faces were blurred, which was horrible.

Grandfather Gu Zhan took pity on her, and nailed up coffins for Gu Chongan and Mrs. Fu early on to prevent her from seeing her parents' miserable conditions, so the parents Gu Yan remembered were just like this.

She only slashed Qin Ji about ten times, and his neck was bloody. His parents were hit by dozens of knives. It can be seen that the people who ambush them have a deep-seated hatred for the Gu family!
Gu Yan's tears seemed unstoppable, making Fu Shi's nose sour and his eyes wet.

When Gu Chong'an saw the tearful mother and daughter, he didn't make a sound to disturb them.He knew that both Fu Shi and Gu Yan needed to vent their inner panic.

Crying is the best way.

"My lord, I feel that I should go to Xishan and invite Mr. Zhang to come. Although the girl is awake, she has a head injury after all. I don't know if there will be any future troubles. It is not appropriate to delay."

Suddenly, when Gu Yan heard someone say this, she quickly raised her head and looked at the speaker.

Gu Fu, the second steward that his father relied heavily on, was now respectfully asking Gu Chong'an for instructions, no, to be precise, he was persuading Gu Chong'an to go to Xishan.

That's right, what Gu Fu said, both inside and outside the meaning, is to persuade Gu Chong'an to go to Xishan.Since Gu Yan knew that she would definitely die if she went to Xishan, this made her pay special attention.

Gu Yan didn't know if Gu Fu was loyal or traitorous.

In the previous life, Gu Fu did not go to Xishan with him, but Gu Yan remembered that Gu Fu fell into the water and drowned a few days after his parents' funeral.

He persuaded his father to go to Xishan because he was really worried about her illness, or did he have other plans?Does he know Xishan's murderous intent?
