Wanfu, the Reborn Empress

Chapter 209 The Broken Brother

It was already noon the next day when Gu Yanxi woke up from the groggy state.

Opening her eyes, before she could say a word, her nose was irritated by the smell of medicine coming towards her, it can be seen that the smell of medicine in this room is especially strong.

And Luomei Xiaokui and others who were serving her explained that they were wearing veils and white gloves sewn urgently on their hands. Although there were many people walking around in the room, no one made any movement; the atmosphere was low And depressing, dignified like a ball of ink that cannot be melted, pressing heavily on people's hearts.

Noticing the trembling of Gu Yanxi's eyelashes, Luo Mei, who was guarding the bed, let out a cry of surprise, and looked back with joy at Gu Yanchao, who was dozing off with his head propped up by the table: "Second son, the girl is awake, the girl is awake!" Already!"

As soon as he woke up, Gu Yanchao, who had been working all night and took a break just now, suddenly opened his eyes.

At this moment, he was also wearing a face scarf, but his exposed eyes shone brightly because of Gu Yanxi's waking up.

Rushed to the bed in three steps at a time, Gu Yanchao grabbed Gu Yanxi's hand that was stretched out from the brocade quilt, and his tone was full of joy and slight trembling: "Jiaojiao, don't move, you need to rest now, don't be afraid , Big Brother is with you."

Gu Yanxi didn't notice the scarf on Gu Yanchao's face until he approached, turned his head and looked at Luomei and Xiaokui who were guarding by the bed, and also saw the white scarf, which made him not know anything She couldn't help being curious: "What's wrong with you? Why are you wearing a face scarf? And me, am I sick again?"

Speaking of this, Gu Yanxi squeezed a reassuring smile on his face, dragged a slightly hoarse voice, and continued: "Brother, don't worry about me, I'm fine, just let me rest for two days, and I'll be fine soon it is good."

Seeing that Gu Yanxi was still comforting the people around him at this time, Xiaokui was young after all, so she couldn't help it first, lowered her head, and sobbed softly.

Hearing Xiaokui's cry, Gu Yanchao couldn't help being upset for a while. For him, the moment is the most sensitive. Jiaojiao is obviously fine, but why are everyone around him so lifeless, as if Jiaojiao really couldn't hold on? Live the same?And this cry, is it an early mourning?

Thinking of this, Gu Yanchao lost his face. Even if he knew that Xiaokui was the maidservant of his little sister, he immediately put on a straight face and said to Xiaokui angrily, "If you want to cry, get out and cry, don't cry." Make trouble for me here."

It was the first time that Xiaokui was reprimanded by the good-tempered Second Young Master, and she raised her head in fright on the spot, opened her eyes with red circles and tears, and looked at Second Young Master pitifully.

Luo Mei was also aware of Xiaokui's gaffe at this moment, and she was afraid that the second son would punish Xiaokui afterwards, after all, the woman whose tongue was pulled out in front had a miserable end; if the second son took his anger on Xiaokui because of the girl's situation , I'm afraid Xiaokui can't bear the anger of the second young master.

Therefore, Luo Mei hurriedly pleaded for Xiaokui: "Second son, calm down, Xiaokui is too worried about the girl, so she lost her composure; please give her another chance for the sake of the girl's sake. When it's time to employ people, if you leave Xiaokui by the girl's side, she can help, right?!"

There was still restless anger in Gu Yanchao's eyes, obviously dissatisfied with Xiaokui's crying just now.

Gu Yanxi sensed the violence of her elder brother, and didn't understand why the always gentle elder brother would suddenly dislike the maid in her room so much, but seeing Xiaokui's frightened look and Luomei's nervous appearance, she also I know, things should not be as simple as she imagined; it seems that during the time when she was sick and drowsy, other things should have happened, which is why the elder brother became so sensitive and violent.

Right now, keeping Xiaokui is the most important thing.

So, looking at Xiaokui's frightened snow-white face, Gu Yanxi smiled helplessly, and said to his elder brother: "I remember, before, your servant at Wanfengyuan accidentally gave away a painting you liked very much. On the ground, it was stained with mud and water, and it was destroyed. At that time, the boy knelt on the ground and kept trembling, for fear that you would send him off; but you not only did not blame him, but also comforted him who was frightened; You know, my eldest brother is a man who is different from ordinary rich men. He is proud and self-confident, but he is tolerant towards others. This kind of elder brother makes me feel extremely proud and is also a role model for me to learn from; elder brother, can you destroy that man? The servants of your beloved paintings are tolerant and tolerant, why are you so fierce to the loyal little girl beside me? Look at you, she was so scared that she didn't even dare to breathe. "

Gu Yanchao naturally knew that Gu Yanxi said these words to intercede with Xiaokui, and he also knew that his temper had become a little bit stronger these two days, but he just couldn't control himself; seeing her lying on the bed with weak breath, Seeing her pouring down bowl after bowl of medicine, but the pimples on her body kept coming out, he wished he could rush out and brandish his long sword to destroy the world.

Under such circumstances, how could he allow the people around him to sing a little bit badly?Even if someone beside him sighed, he felt that his tense nerves seemed to be stirred up by someone, his heart was overwhelmed, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

Right now, when he heard the little girl pleading for mercy, he naturally couldn't refuse, but he still had a calm face, and said to the trembling Xiaokui: "The girl is not feeling well right now, as personal maids, you have to take care of the girl carefully, not only Take care of the girl's body and mood; how can you not be annoying when you cry and cry at every turn? Go down and wipe your face, and wipe all the tears on your face."

Having said that, Gu Yanchao turned back to the servants in the room and said: "I just said what I said just now for you. From now on, when you are with the girl, you are only allowed to make the girl happy. If anyone dares to show depression, be careful." I make you look good, understand?"

"The servant understands."

Xiaokui also quickly knelt on the ground and replied: "Your servant understands, I will go down and wipe my face clean."

Seeing Xiao Kui walking away with her head hooked, Gu Yanxi then turned her eyes away, looked at the elder brother who was standing by her side, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Brother, I am no longer a child, tell me, what have I gained?" Illness, don't worry, no matter what it is, I can bear it."

Although Gu Yanxi said this now, she felt a little uneasy in her heart; according to the memories of her previous life, she should have been smooth and smooth at such an age, without even a minor illness, so how could she be so seriously ill?

But now there are too many situations that are different from the previous life, so she can no longer define this life according to what happened in the previous life; some sudden situations, such as her current physical condition, are that she has to Faced with the 'accident'.

However, she felt that her situation should not be very bad, otherwise the current Gu Mansion would not be so peaceful.

Gu Yanchao looked at the younger sister's crystal clear eyes, his eyes were full of pity; how could he not feel sorry for such a lively and lovely younger sister, how could he tell her that she had pox?

However, Gu Yanchao was well aware of his little sister's ice and snow intelligence, so he couldn't stop such a thing at all.

Instead of hiding it and not telling her to make her guess wildly, it is better to tell the truth. No matter what, he will support her and will never let her have any really worrying accidents.

Gu Yanchao stretched out his hand, gently stroked Gu Yanxi's head, combed her slightly cold and damp hair back, looked at her snow-white face, and said, "Jiaojiao, do you know that you have acne? "

Pox?

Gu Yanxi's eyes widened suddenly, apparently she did not expect to get such an answer from her elder brother. She has lived for two lifetimes, so she naturally knows what the word 'pox epidemic' stands for, but she is so good, how could she get it? This epidemic?
Gu Yanchao felt that his throat was blocked with cotton, and he looked up and down at his elder brother with powerful eyes, as if he still couldn't believe what he just heard, and asked repeatedly: "Apox? Are you sure? Is it true?"

Gu Yan looked at the little girl with a surprised face, closed his eyes in distress, and squeezed out a voice from his nasal cavity: "En."

Then, he took a deep breath, as if mustering up a lot of courage, and said: "Do you still remember that your body temperature has been very high during this time, and you can't even take medicine to suppress it? Doctor Wen finally gave an explanation." He said that everyone's physical condition is different, and the symptoms of the disease will also be different. Your body should have been unwell for a long time, but the people around us all ignored it until you came back from the cell. , fell asleep, and the pimples on my body came out completely."

Speaking of this, Gu Yan showed pain on his face, he put his little sister's hand on his forehead, his voice was trembling: "Jiaojiao, maybe I hurt you, if I didn't take you out of the house, I didn't agree When you enter the cell, you won't be contaminated with dirty things in the cell, and you won't get sick and hang your life now; Jiaojiao, it's my fault, all of this is my fault..."

Gu Yanxi looked at the painful and guilty elder brother, her heart felt sour, and her tears were almost forced out; she knew that if a man as strong as her elder brother was not extremely guilty and painful, how could he Showing such vulnerability in front of her sister.

It seems that during the period of her coma, the elder brother was as if being roasted on the fire, and the pain was far beyond her imagination.

"Why did the elder brother take all the mistakes on himself? Don't forget, but I begged you to take me out of the mansion, and I begged you to lead me to the prison cell. I am willing to do all of this , Eldest brother is scared by me, so he has no choice but to agree. Why does elder brother take the mistakes I made on you now that I am sick? Eldest brother, is it because you are really confused now? "

"But I..."

"No, but, brother, I am very clear and sober. If I was really infected with dirty things in the cell, it would be me who was wrong, not you, brother; besides, I don't think my disease was caused by the cell. stained."

Having said that, Gu Yanxi narrowed her eyes, and a ray of light flashed through her clear pupils, carrying her usual cunning and keen insight.
