Chapter 208 Intimidation
Qiu Lu nodded: "Young Master never deceives Madam, this time there is nothing you can do."

Falling from such a high pagoda, Gu Yunyan fell to pieces. If Gu Yunxiao wanted to see her, he might only see a pile of bloody corpses.

"Madam may not believe it, but what the young master said, she never doubted it."

Qiu Hong nodded slightly: "You are right, maybe Mrs. Xu knows it well, but she is more willing to trust the young master so that she can feel at ease."

Anyway, Gu Yunyan was already a dead person, and the Gu family had already mourned, but now it just became a fact.

"We will do good deeds to the end. Tonight, we will go to the grave of the second girl and put her body in the empty coffin. It is considered a merit." Qiu Hong narrowed her eyes. She is willing to accumulate virtue for the wife and the young master He can hide Gu Yunyan's body by the way.

In this way, no one would know where Gu Yunyan disappeared, and no one would have thought that she was in the coffin that was supposed to be empty.

Qiu Lu frowned: "Tonight we are going... to dig a grave?"

It's really bad luck to go to collect Gu Yunyan's corpse without sleeping at night!

"Otherwise, it can't be kept in the temple all the time, and it's impossible to really send it to other places. It's not that easy to hide a dead person."

Qiu Lu agrees, instead of letting people find out and hear it in Gu Yunxiao's ears, it's better to let the two of them do it for them.

Xiao Xilin had no objection to Qiuhong's proposal, and only asked them to call Xiao Yi, and after returning, they had to bathe three times before entering the meditation room.

Forget about the previous ones, one more person is more safe, but what is the last one?
Bathing three times, people still can't peel off their skin?

Qiu Hong didn't dare to object, and listlessly called Xiao Yi and Qiu Lu to the cemetery in the middle of the night.

Gu Yunxiao slept for a full day and night before waking up. Apart from being shaken awake by Xiao Xilin and fed with soup and medicine, and stuffed with two mouthfuls of easy-to-digest snacks, he had nothing to eat.

When she wakes up now, she just feels hungry. She looks up at Xiao Xilin who is sleeping with her eyes closed in front of the couch, knowing that he has been by her side for a day and a night, and she probably just closed her eyes to rest for a while.

Gu Yunxiao thought that he would have nightmares, but who knew that he could sleep well all night and never dreamed of Gu Yunyan's hideous appearance before he died.

She squinted her eyes, knowing that because of Xiao Xilin's reassurance, she was relieved.

"Are you awake?" Xiao Xilin's slightly hoarse voice sounded, holding Gu Yunxiao's hand, feeling the coolness in his palm, he frowned, and wrapped her catkin tightly in his palm with his big hand.

Qiu Hong outside heard the noise, and brought in the food that was hot in the stove, and set a table: "This is the handicraft of the head monk in the temple. The imperial doctor said that madam should eat lightly for now, and wait for the body to recover." Let’s warm up in a few days.”

Gu Yunxiao felt unwell, so Xiao Xilin told the host, and stayed in Huguo Temple to rest for a few days before returning to Xiao's mansion.

The host naturally agreed, and asked the head monk to cook a table of dishes specially.Although they are all vegetarian dishes, they are rare medicinal meals.

She took a sip, her lips and teeth were fragrant, and she felt even hungrier: "Good craftsmanship, thank you head monk for me."

"Use more if you like it. The imperial doctor will come to ask for a pulse later. If there is nothing wrong, we will go back to the house." Xiao Xilin didn't move much chopsticks, but picked up a lot of vegetables for Gu Yunxiao.

Seeing her eating deliciously, Xiao Xilin felt relieved.

"Okay," Gu Yunxiao nodded. No matter how good this place is, it can't be better than their home: "It's time to resign for bothering the host for two days. I'm fine now, and I don't need to work as an imperial physician anymore."

"It's okay, the emperor purposely left the imperial doctor in the nearby yard, just for the sake of caution, we don't want to take advantage of the emperor's kindness." Xiao Xilin picked up another chopsticks of vegetables and put them in her bowl.

Since it was the emperor who opened the golden mouth, Gu Yunxiao didn't say any more, and waited for the imperial doctor to take his pulse when he was full.

The imperial doctor stroked his beard and smiled: "Madam is recuperating well, and she can get up and walk around. Just rest on the couch a lot, it's best to take care of her for half a month."

With the imperial doctor's words, Xiao Xilin was ready to go back home.

As soon as the group of them left the yard, they met Ji Jiaqian who was coming towards her. She looked at Gu Yunxiao with a worried face and said, "I heard that Sanya passed out, but is she better now?"

"Yes, it's much better, thank you Madam for your concern." Gu Yunxiao responded with a slight smile, but before Ji Jiaqian approached, Qiu Hong stood in front of her.

"Madam Gu, the imperial doctor said that Madam is weak, and it's very cold outside now, so it's not easy to freeze."

The implication is to let Ji Jiaqian make way and tell Gu Yunxiao to get on the carriage as soon as possible, so as not to be blown by the cold wind.

Qiu Hong said it tactfully, how could Ji Jiaqian not hear it?

She showed annoyance on her face, she didn't say anything, she turned sideways to make way: "It's my fault, I only cared about asking the third girl, and forgot that you are a twin now, so you can't be sloppy."

Ji Jiaqian turned to Xiao Xilin again, and said in a low voice: "Master Taifu, can I take a step to speak?"

"No need," Xiao Xilin refused after hearing this, and supported Gu Yunxiao with one hand, while walking past her: "I'm afraid I won't be able to agree to what Madam Gu wants to do, and it's even more impossible for me to do it properly. Madam should do it another time." Please be wise."

Before she even opened her mouth, Xiao Xilin already knew what she was going to say?
Ji Jiaqian was startled, and she said unrelentingly: "This matter is of great benefit to the Grand Tutor, or is the Lord afraid? I can guarantee that it will never be handed over to the Houfu..."

She is determined to separate herself from Ji Keran, this thing is used to save her life, not to take advantage of that heartless man!

Xiao Xilin was still unmoved, shaking her head and said: "Madam Gu should understand that even if you find that thing, it is impossible to keep it. Instead of doing this, it is better to hand it over from the beginning."

Ji Jiaqian pursed her lips. He really knew something, and it was right to find the Taifu: "I mistrusted Ji Keran before, but now that my identity is revealed, I don't plan to go back to the Hou's Mansion. What I do has nothing to do with me. I just want what my biological parents left me, so I can think about it. Mr. Tai Tuo is not willing to accumulate virtue for Sanya and the child in her belly, and help me complete Such a wish is nothing more than a simple effort.”

Gu Yunxiao frowned, she didn't like Ji Jiaqian's words, as if Xiao Xilin didn't help, but instead hurt herself and her children.

Xiao Xilin was full of displeasure, and signaled Qiuhong to help Gu Yunxiao into the car first, lest the snow outside really freeze.Seeing that Gu Yunxiao got into the carriage and the curtains were tightly covered, his face turned cold, and he looked at Ji Jiaqian and said, "Madam Gu is too flattering, Madam knows where the things are, but I don't want to know. Madam has to do What, just do it, there is no need to involve the wife and children. After all, Madam and the Xiao Manor are not related, and the Gu Manor has long since lost Miss Gu."

Master Gu kicked Gu Yunxiao out, and later even wanted to slap her, but he had already used up all his affection.

Ji Jiaqian originally wanted to talk about things as the wife of the Gu family and Gu Yunxiao's stepmother, but now she was blocked for a while, and she was suddenly speechless: "My lord, how can I find things by myself? The Huguo Temple is so huge. Finding a small brocade box is easier said than done. If the adults are really unwilling to make a move, I can only do this. The second girl is said to have died a long time ago, but the day before yesterday in front of the pagoda, I saw the third girl pushing her down. ..."

Xiao Xilin turned her head and stared at her with a pair of black eyes.

Ji Jiaqian swallowed the following words, she had no choice but to offend the big celebrity in front of the emperor.It's just that I can't help it anymore. If it continues, Ji Keran will probably go to Huguo Temple to arrest her.

She used the excuse of praying for the marquis of An Guo's mansion, and the time limit was one month, and now it seemed that one month would pass, but she got nothing.

There is no other way except to find that thing with Xiao Xilin's hand.

After all, the Tai Tuo and the host had a very good friendship, so it was effortless to ask anything.

Just being stared at by Xiao Xilin's beautiful eyes, like a weak prey in the eyes of a beast, Ji Jiaqian's back felt a chill, and she couldn't stop her whole body from trembling slightly.

"Madam is not feeling well. She has been resting in the meditation room and never leaves the pagoda. It is impossible to go to the pagoda. Madam Gu must be dazzled and misread. After all, Miss Gu has been buried long ago, so why did she appear in Huguo Temple?" As she spoke every word, her eyes never moved away from Ji Jiaqian's face.

Ji Jiaqian was full of fear, as if she shook her head to deny it, Xiao Xilin would grab her by the neck: "Yes, maybe I really misunderstood..."

Wanting to threaten Xiao Xilin, she must be so impatient that she can't choose what to say!

"That's good, Mrs. Gu is still careful to speak out. This time it's just you and me. If others listen to it, it will be a slander to Mrs. Xiao Xilin finally looked away, Shi Shiran from Ji Jiaqian left in front of her, and she didn't dare to stop the Grand Tutor anymore, and watched him get into the carriage and drive away.

When the carriage left the Huguo Temple and was no longer seen, Ji Jiaqian's legs suddenly gave way and she fell to the ground, feeling her neck was cold just now, as if her life was saved at this moment.

She believed that as long as she said one wrong sentence just now, Xiao Xilin might not be merciful.

Everyone said that Master Tai Tuo was as handsome as a banished fairy, especially his eyes were so beautiful that many noble girls only hoped to be satisfied after being looked at by him one more time.

When Ji Jiaqian met those beautiful eyes just now, she was actually sweating from fright in the cold weather.

It was colder and more piercing than the snow on the ground, making her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave.Fortunately, the man left without doing anything to himself.

Ji Jiaqian let out a sigh of relief, and it was the worst decision she ever made to seek Xiao Xilin for cooperation.

She managed to suppress the panic in her heart, when a beautifully dressed servant girl approached, she came forward to help Ji Jiaqian with a face full of surprise: "What's wrong with this lady, are you feeling unwell? Do you want this servant to help you to the back?" Resting in the meditation room for a while, the master of the slave is drinking tea inside, why don't you go in and have a cup to warm your body?"

Hearing this, Ji Jiaqian wanted to decline her kindness, but she just opened her mouth, but she couldn't make a sound. She couldn't help but look at the servant girl in horror. The latter smiled, but her face was still full of concern: "It's cold on the ground, madam, get up quickly and go in." Drink a cup of hot tea in the room to warm up your body. Why thank your servant for such a trivial matter, and don’t make your servant flustered.”
