Wanfu, the Reborn Empress

Chapter 276
On the third day after Gu Yanxi asked Feng Yichen for help, news about Gu's mansion finally came from the capital, and this news was definitely not good news for Gu Yanxi, because her grandfather suddenly fell ill. He fell down, and his condition became menacing.

When he heard the news, Gu Yanxi was accompanying Feng Yichen to bask in the sun in the yard, and Gu Yanchao also sat on the side with rare cooperation, drinking fragrant tea leisurely, enjoying the peaceful time at the moment.

Therefore, when hearing the news suddenly, one can imagine how shocked Gu Yanxi and the others were.

"As far as I know, my grandfather's body has always been very healthy, and only before I left Beijing to recuperate, my grandfather had some cold symptoms because of a cold, and then my elder brother came to write a letter and told me that I was safe. Could it be that my grandfather's Your health has been bad? Big brother, you have hidden it from me in order to make me feel at ease? "

As soon as Gu Yanchao heard this, he knew that Gu Yanxi had misunderstood himself, and hurriedly said: "Jiaojiao, don't worry, grandfather's cold is indeed cured, before I come here, I will ask my grandfather to resign, and he even told me Many things, looking at his spirit at that time, did not seem to be sick at all."

"Since you are in good health, how could you suddenly fall ill?" Gu Yanxi muttered these two words in his mouth for a while, then suddenly his eyes widened, and he looked towards Gu Yanchao, and Gu Yanchao seemed to have thought of something, She also looked at Gu Yanxi in astonishment.

The scene before her grandfather's death in her previous life is vivid in her mind, and she will never forget how deep the grief in her heart was when the elder who loved her the most passed away.

So after being reborn, she tried her best to protect the relatives around her and try to keep them from being persecuted, but she never thought that after she had worked so hard for so long, her grandfather might still be raped by villains Violent hands.

Thinking that this might be the work of her good second uncle, Gu Yanxi couldn't sit still anymore, and immediately stood up to rush out of the yard.

Seeing Gu Yanxi's movements, Feng Yichen hurriedly called out to her, but how could she hear Feng Yichen's shouting at this moment, at the critical moment, it was Gu Yanchao who caught up and grabbed her, controlling her excitement : "Jiaojiao, calm down, if you run out in such a panic, something may happen."

Feng Yichen also leaned over with the wheelchair pushed by Mo Ying, and said, "Jiaojiao, this is not a time for chaos, I know what you are worried about, but we have to make things clear."

"When the matter is clear, grandfather's life will be gone. You don't know how much this illness is a blow to grandfather. He was like this last time. Suddenly, without warning, he just left me like this left alone."

"Last time? Jiaojiao, what did you say last time?"

Gu Yanchao was startled, and immediately knew that his little sister had missed something in a panic. Seeing Feng Yichen's puzzled look and wanting to ask more questions, he hurriedly stood up and said haha: "Jiaojiao said it last time. When I was petite and petite, once my grandfather was seriously ill and almost couldn't afford it, but at the critical moment, my father went to the palace and invited the imperial doctor to save my grandfather's life."

"Is that really the case?" Feng Yichen looked at Gu Yanxi with a strange expression and asked.

Gu Yanxi's sleeve was pulled fiercely by Gu Yanchao, and only then did he come back to his senses. Looking at Feng Yichen's expression, he realized that he had said something wrong, suppressed all kinds of uneasiness in his heart, nodded, and said, "Yes. In this way, when I was young, my grandfather also suffered from a serious illness, and since then I have been very worried about my grandfather's health and health, and now I suddenly heard the news, and I was flustered for a while, so I couldn't express it clearly, don't misunderstand."

Although Gu Yanxi said that what she said just now was caused by her inability to express clearly in a panic, Feng Yichen felt that things were far from as simple as she said.

Otherwise, Gu Yanchao wouldn't be so nervous, and his Jiaojiao wouldn't show such an obscure expression.

It's just that right now, it's not the time for him to ask about these things, he can only deal with the important things first, "Jiaojiao, I will send someone to pay attention to Grand Master Gu's physical condition, don't worry, I can assure you, I will never Let Gu Taishi have an accident like this; right now, you need to be calm, so that we can know where Gu Taishi's illness started. Only when we understand the whole matter, can we judge the matter Was it an accident, or someone did it on purpose."

Looking at Feng Yichen's steady eyes, Gu Yanxi's uneasy heart finally calmed down under his comfort.

She turned her head to look at the subordinate who brought the news from Gu's mansion, and after taking a few deep breaths, she asked, "Grandfather suddenly fell ill, what did the doctor who invited him say? And the situation in the mansion, now How about it?"

Seeing that Gu Yanxi could ask these questions in an orderly manner, Gu Yanchao and Feng Yichen looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

The neat man half kneeling on one side was Feng Yichen's eyeliner in Gu's mansion. He clearly knew the importance of the third girl in Gu's mansion in his master's heart, so when he answered Gu Yanxi's question, he didn't dare to answer Gu Yanxi's question. There is neglect.

"The old grand master suddenly fell ill. Uncle naturally invited a famous doctor in the city to take care of him, but the old grand master's illness was too dangerous. Even if a famous doctor took action, he could barely maintain it. The moment before the subordinate came down, the old grand master The grand master is still in a coma; as for the second room where the young master wants his subordinates to pay attention, there is no big movement, but what is interesting is that two days ago, a young man who was in charge of cleaning the courtyard suddenly drowned in the Hengguang courtyard; This servant is a servant who was bought by the housekeeper from outside a few years ago, and he is quite smart, but because there are no relatives or brothers in the family, even if the subordinates send someone to investigate the details of this person, they still can't find anything."

"The servant drowned in Hengguangyuan? Why is it at this time?" Gu Yanxi held his chin, frowned and turned his head, "Looking at the time, it is indeed some coincidence. Did you really find out nothing?"

The subordinate said: "It's because the subordinate is incompetent. Ever since that young man was bought back to the mansion, he has regarded the Gu mansion as the focus of his life. Apart from activities in the mansion, he rarely has the opportunity to go out. He is just helping the people in the mansion to do some work of purchasing assistants, so from these aspects, there is really nothing to be found out from him."

Gu Yanxi said: "What you said is that you can't find out his communication with people outside the mansion, what about the people in the mansion? Hasn't he made good friends with each other in the years he has been in the mansion, or he can talk to each other? companion?"

"My subordinates have checked, and this young man has two good friends in the mansion, one is Lao Wu who is in charge of the carriage and stables, and the other is Liu Chuan who is in charge of the porter; I asked these two people, They can all prove that there is nothing strange about this young man, he has always been well-behaved in the mansion, and even because he is quite clever, the second master still has a good impression of him."

Hearing this answer, Gu Yanxi's eyes lit up immediately, "You mean, my second uncle has a good impression of a servant?"

"That's right, this is what Old Wu told his subordinates. Old Wu said that in the past six months, this young man has obviously enjoyed a lot of success. He is obviously only doing cleaning work, but he can take out some money from time to time to give them money. This group of friends bought some wine and meat and came back to treat guests to dinner; everyone thought he was going to get rich, but he said that he helped the second master to do a few beautiful things, and the second master praised him, so he gave him some Reward. As for what he did for the second master, the big guy didn't ask much, just thinking that with the second master's romantic character, he probably asked him to help the second master because he was smart and smart. A few times', anyway, many people in the mansion know about this kind of thing, so they are not surprised. Everyone said that this young man is about to climb up the high branch of the second master. You must know that the second master Although it is not a good weapon, but fortunately, the status is there, and if you serve well with such a master, you can get a lot of benefits."

Listening to this eyeliner's eloquence, Gu Yanxi always felt that the situation here was not as simple as it appeared on the surface. She could guarantee that the death of this servant was probably related to her grandfather's sudden illness.

Gu Yanchao also felt that the situation was not that simple, and there was a hint of weirdness in the whole thing.

After some thought, he said, "Second Uncle has a romantic personality. Everyone knows this. Second Uncle likes to set up an outer room outside, and also likes to have ambiguities with some women in the building. This is everyone's opinion. Er is more aware of the matter. It's just that although the second uncle acts absurdly, he has his own style of doing things. This is why he has done so many absurd and unruly things, but he can still guarantee that he will not make trouble. The reason for making such a big joke. If this servant really helped Second Uncle deal with those Yingying and Yanyan outside, then he would have been promoted to be Second Uncle’s confidant long ago, instead of continuing to be as simple as a servant So, I think he definitely didn't help Second Uncle deal with the affair, but became the most secret pawn under Second Uncle's hands and did other things."

When Feng Yichen thought about it, he also felt weird, and looked at Gu Yanchao, "That's right, with Gu Shen's heart, if he really wanted to do something shameful, he wouldn't use the well-known confidants around him, Instead, he will choose to take a slant and use some people we can't think of to achieve his goal. No matter from which point of view, this young man fully meets the conditions for being selected."

"First, there are no relatives or brothers. Even if he dies in the future, no one will make trouble for him; second, the friends around him are relatively simple, and their status is relatively low. These friends are honest and honest. , will not cause too much doubt about the cause of his death, and even if there are doubts in the future, as these people, they will not be able to cause any trouble; thirdly, and most importantly, the death of a humble servant is right. For the huge Gu family, it is not a surprise at all, especially during the period when Grand Master Gu was seriously ill, who cares whether the servant died in vain or really accidentally?!"
