Wanfu, the Reborn Empress

Chapter 203 Pox Outbreak
Walking out of the long cell corridor, Gu Yanchao, who had been waiting by the carriage, walked up quickly from the moment Gu Yanxi was on the couch.

First, he took a serious look at Gu Yanxi, and after realizing that there was nothing unusual about her, he said, "How is the matter resolved? Are you all right?"

"Of course it's okay. I came here today just to hear what she said to me. I didn't expect to repeat those few words over and over again. I really don't have any intentions. But fortunately, I have expressed clearly what I want to say. From now on, this A woman I never want to see again."

Gu Yanchao tightened the brocade belt tied around Gu Yanxi's neck, and said to her like a promise: "Don't worry, you won't see her again."

As he said that, Gu Yanxi glanced at Chifeng, Chifeng smiled slightly, and nodded his head, as if to reassure him that nothing unpleasant happened in the cell.

Gu Yanxi looked at the bustling street that was gradually becoming bustling, and looked everywhere full of a strong sense of the New Year. Only then did he realize that his elder brother had been with her for a long time, and it was time to enter the palace to be on duty, so he urged repeatedly: " Brother, since Chifeng is here, let him take me back home. Don't worry, I won't go anywhere along the way, I won't delay, and I will go back obediently; you hurry to the palace, don't delay your duty. "

Gu Yanchao was naturally at ease with Chifeng, after hearing Gu Yanxi's words, he handed her over to him, rode on his fast horse, and headed straight for the palace.

Gu Yanxi was supported by Luo Mei to make the carriage back, just like when he came here, leaning lazily on the comfortable cushion, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

When the wheels of the carriage rolled, the long-cherished wish accumulated for two lifetimes was finally fully understood today; as Gu Yanxi said, from now on, Li Rou and Li Qian's brothers and sisters are just strangers to her Just people.

However, what Gu Yanxi didn't know was that shortly after she left the prison, Li Rou, who was locked up alone in the cell, bit her tongue and committed suicide.

It is embarrassing to hear that this woman who was once a sensation in the capital finally chose to use such a tragic means to end her own life; after hearing the news of Li Rou's death, the Li family thought about what she had done during her lifetime. The scandal was just that a steward was sent to take care of her funeral; I heard that Li Shangshu did not bury her in the Li family cemetery after Li Rou died because he was angry with his unworthy daughter and dragged down the entire Li family. , but randomly found a place that was barely enough to bury her.

From then on, a piece of loess and a tombstone became Li Rou's everything.

Of course, these are all things to say, now Gu Yanxi is no longer interested in Li Rou's affairs, so naturally he doesn't want to know more about her affairs.

Because Gu Yanxi was secretly taken out of the mansion by Gu Yanchao, when returning to the mansion, Gu Yanxi and his party also sneaked back through the back door.

Fortunately, she has been taking care of her body for the past two days. Considering that she is allowed to recuperate, almost no one in the mansion dares to disturb her casually; therefore, the fact that she left the mansion quietly today, except for a few confidantes around her, is a secret. Parents and grandfather in the Fuchu.

After Gu Yanxi returned to the Furong Courtyard, he said to Chi Feng who was following behind him: "Thank you for protecting me today, now that I have returned safely, you can go back and return to your life; by the way, tell Feng Yichen that I am fine , let him not worry."

Chifeng took the lead, and after saying goodbye, he turned and left.

Gu Yanxi got up early today in order to block Gu Yan, and her eyelids were fighting with exhaustion on the carriage back. Now that she can go back to her warm and comfortable bedroom, her exhaustion is overwhelming.

After a brief wash, Gu Yanxi lay down limp all over, and soon fell into a dark and sweet dreamland.

However, no one expected that after Gu Yanxi fell asleep, he never got up again.

In the beginning, it was Luo Mei who noticed Gu Yanxi's strangeness.

She knew that the girl got up early today and was somewhat tired from going to and from the cell, so she waited carefully outside the door with Xiaokui, listening to the movement in the room at any time, so as to take good care of the girl as soon as possible; but, slowly She found that the girl's sleep was too long and heavy.

Seeing that from the early morning to the afternoon, when the servants who held the lamps started to arrange the lights in the courtyard, Luo Mei felt that something was wrong.

Immediately took Xiaokui into the room, opened the bed curtain and saw that the girl was hot all over, her face was burning red, her whole body seemed to be soaked in a pool of water, it was very shocking.

It was the first time for Xiaokui to see a girl in such a dangerous situation, and she was a little confused on the spot. She grabbed Luo Mei's arm and began to shake: "What should I do? Girl, why are you so ill suddenly? We are responsible for taking care of the girl. by her side, but did not take good care of her, if the master and wife knew, they would definitely take our skin off."

Hearing Xiaokui's trembling voice, Luo Mei seemed much calmer.

She immediately turned her head and told Xiaokui, "Hurry up and inform the madam of the girl's situation, and ask the madam to call for Dr. Wen to come quickly; I need fresh water now, and I need to change the wet clothes on the girl, you go." Call the women who serve the girls on weekdays and ask them to help me."

Xiaokui was already in a state of confusion at the moment, listening to Luo Mei's order, she stared blankly at the unconscious Gu Yanxi, but kept nodding, her legs seemed to be nailed to the ground, and she didn't move for a long while.

After removing the brocade quilt covering Gu Yanxi's body, Luo Mei turned her head and saw Xiaokui still standing behind her in a daze, she couldn't help but speak a little harder: "What are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and do what I told you to do."

"Okay, I'll do it right now."

Awakened by Luo Mei's reprimand, Xiaokui rushed out of the room, the anxious look on her face was almost hard to hide, and the panic in her eyes was clearly engraved in her wide-open pupils.

It's not that she is really so timid and cowardly, but just now, when Luo Mei was wiping the third girl's sweat, she glanced at the thin white neck of the third girl; It made her break out in a cold sweat.

It was because she seemed to see a small water bag between the third girl's neck. The water bag was plump. Although it hadn't fully grown up, she could be sure that she could see it clearly.

Xiaokui did not sell into Gu's Mansion at a very young age, but entered Gu's Mansion as a maid when she was about seven or eight years old; before entering Gu's Mansion, she lived in Dongliang Village outside the city. When I was young, there was an outbreak of pox in the village, and many people died.

Although she was young at that time, she had also seen what the patient who had the pox epidemic looked like. The small water bag on the girl's neck looked exactly like the initial symptoms of the patients who had the pox epidemic in the village before. They look exactly the same.
