Value peace

Chapter 242

Duan Yingluo pushed open the door sweating profusely, and saw Gu Xiyan curled up lazily on the big pillow like a stuffed cat.

"Gu Xiyan," Duan Yingluo couldn't help complaining, "What the hell are you doing? Why did you leave with Qi Hao without saying hello, which made me look around... If Qi Hao's guards didn't find me, I'm still wandering around the market now..."

Under the light, the corners of Gu Xiyan's eyes and brows are full of charm, charming and seductive.

Duan Yingluo stopped halfway through her words.

What else can I do...

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but twitched the corners of her mouth, and sighed: "Forget it, it's good that you come back safely!"

"Sister Duan," Gu Xiyan looked at her with a smile, without a trace of guilt, "You must not tell anyone about Maosheng's coming to Spring...he came here secretly..."

Duan Yingluo waved her hand weakly: "I know, I know..."

Duan Yingluo was asked to keep it a secret, mainly because Qi Maosheng went to the place called Jiangsha to have a secret meeting with the other three princes... If the news is leaked, I am afraid that someone with a heart will guess something because of it, which will ruin Maosheng's major event !

Looking at Duan Yingluo's helpless look, Gu Xiyan smiled and said "Thank you".

"However, to be honest, he really has a lot of intentions!" Duan Yingluo knew that Qi Maosheng's whereabouts were of great importance, but she couldn't help but sarcastically said, "Do you know that he didn't supervise the battle in He County at all... From Shannan County to Chunli, it's such a long way... If he is the emperor, he will be a lustful and stupid king!"

After hearing this, Gu Xiyan didn't refute, her eyes narrowed into a crooked smile.

Maosheng told her that according to the agreement between Xizhao and Yandi this time, when Yandi sent troops to Liangdi, Xizhao would bear all the military pay, food and grass. The supplies were delayed and prevaricated.However, Jin, who had already reached a private covenant with Yan, secretly contacted Liang and Shu at this time, so he decided to lead his own troops to attack the three states with lightning speed. The second reason to warn Xizhao is to intimidate the land of Jin.It's just that I didn't expect to achieve unexpected results. Liangdi wanted to exchange the city of the two states for the temporary suffocation of Yandi, and jointly deal with Xizhao... After the Jiangsha meeting, he will return to the county. However, this guy has never spoken well. Honestly, I don’t know if it’s true or not!

Seeing her unmoved look, Duan Yingluo shook her head angrily, and said, "Take a good rest, I won't bother you anymore!"

"Sister Duan," Gu Xiyan called her softly, "Everyone hasn't come back, I'm bored by myself, let's chat!"

"Chat?" Duan Yingluo was stunned.

Gu Xiyan nodded with a smile: "We haven't talked together for a long time..."

Looking at the face blooming like a flower, Duan Yingluo couldn't help but said in doubt: "Qi Hao came to see you, you are so happy!"

Gu Xiyan nodded without hesitation: "Of course I'm very happy!"

Duan Yingluo was speechless immediately, and said: "I'll wash my face, and I'll come to talk with you!"

Gu Xiyan stretched her neck and said, "Then hurry up!"

Duan Yingluo shook her head in confusion.

Gu Xiyan's appearance today is so strange... Although the reunion of husband and wife is a happy thing, she is too happy... That smile has been hanging on her face, and it has never stopped...

Confused, when Duan Yingluo went out, she saw Hongyu and Xingyu walking towards this side talking and laughing.

In the dim light, Hongyu and Xingyu also saw Duan Yingluo standing by the threshold.

They went forward to salute Duan Yingluo, and Hongyu smiled and said: "I didn't see Madam at the market, nor did I find Sister Duan, so we guess Madam came back first!"

"Just the two of you?" Duan Yingluo looked around.

"Yeah." Xing Yu said with a smile, "Seeing that everyone is having a good time, the two of us are afraid that there will be no one to serve Madam, so we came back first."

* * * * * *
When Duan Yingluo washed up before going, Gu Xiyan was actually eating egg custard.

She was startled, and said, "You never eat at night, do you?"

Gu Xiyan actually smiled and said: "Now I want to eat!"

I'm afraid he was tired from "fighting" with Qi Hao!
But seeing Xing Yu and Hong Yu at the side, Duan Yingluo swallowed the teasing words.

Duan Yingluo read under the lamp for a while, and when Gu Xiyan finished washing, the two of them lay on the bed.

"What do you want to tell me?" Duan Yingluo put down the book in her hand, and looked at the white and quiet face under the lamp.

Gu Xiyan changed her cheerfulness just now, and there was some hesitation in her eyes.

She looked at the glass lamp on the small table in some confusion, remained silent for a long time, and suddenly held Duan Yingluo's hand tightly.

"What's wrong with you?" Feeling the trembling of Gu Xiyan's fingertips, Duan Yingluo couldn't help asking with concern.

Gu Xiyan looked up at Duan Yingluo, and said with some trepidation: "Sister Duan, I just hope that you can bring me good luck again!"

"What?" Duan Yingluo asked puzzled.

Gu Xiyan suddenly laughed.

Her bright eyes shone like jewels under the light.

* * * * * *
From that day on, Duan Yingluo felt that Gu Xiyan had become unreasonable.

First of all, she stopped all treatments, let alone decoctions, and even the ginger tea used for treatment; secondly, she newly adjusted her diet. Not only did she no longer use almonds and barley, which she used to like most, but And in the golden autumn of September, crabs are not allowed to be eaten... Besides, she spends most of her time lying in bed, only occasionally going out to bask in the sun.

Liu Meier was also very worried about this: "What's wrong with you? Why didn't you take your medicine? And those recipes you ordered, it's so strange, they are all made of tofu and cabbage, how can it work..."

Gu Xiyan smiled and interrupted Liu Meier's words: "Your words are too exaggerated... I ate fish for lunch today..."

Just as he was talking, Xing Yu came in with a small rattan basket.

Seeing the rattan basket, Liu Meier found the topic again: "Someone even sent someone to send high-quality walnuts from Lianyun County... You never ate these things before."

"People's tastes are always changing!" Gu Xiyan changed the topic indifferently, "How does the black rice cake with lotus seeds that I asked someone to make yesterday taste like?"

Speaking of this, Liu Meier said honestly: "I think it's good, Brother Sheng really likes to eat, I asked Hongyu to make some more today."

Gu Xiyan covered her mouth and smiled: "I'll have someone cook golden rice today!"

Liu Meier was startled: "What is that?"

In fact, fried rice with walnuts and eggs.

"You will know after eating." Gu Xiyan looked at her and smiled.

"Only you are more weird." Liu Meier frowned with a smile, "But you made the fig you brought from Gaochang delicious."

Gu Xiyan laughed loudly: "Then you still hate things!"

"I don't care about you!" Liu Meier said angrily, "If you don't get pregnant soon, let me tell you, things like the Shi family will happen again."

Gu Xiyan smiled slightly.

She used to be very worried, but since Maosheng kicked Zhenniang, she no longer has any hesitation... She feels that she is very lucky to meet Maosheng, to be his wife, and to live together...

Yun Chang came in and told: "Ma'am, Siping is here!"

"Let him in!" Gu Xiyan nodded.

After a while, Siping came in with a small bowl on a lacquer tray.

He put the bowl in front of Gu Xiyan: "Madam, take a look, is this the bamboo fungus you mentioned?"

A tiny mushroom.The hat is dark green, the handle is snow-white, the holder is pink, and there is a delicate white net, which is bright in color and very beautiful.

"That's it!" Gu Xiyan said happily, "I asked Hongyu to ask everywhere, but no one knew how you got it."

A slightly proud smile appeared on Siping's face: "This is a specialty of Sichuan, and there is no other place at all... let alone bought it, even if not many people know about it. I still ate it with my master once, As soon as you mentioned it, I vaguely thought of something..."

Gu Xiyan thought of Qi Maosheng.

Could it be that he asked for it from Shen Shiya, Duke of Shu?

She couldn't help sweating on her forehead: "Does Master know about this?"

Siping hesitated.

Gu Xiyan frowned: "You have to be a little bit more measured when you do things..."

Hearing Gu Xiyan's bad tone, Siping hurriedly explained: "This is made with Sanping's help..."

"Sanping?"

The Sanping that I have never seen before?

Gu Xiyan wondered, "Why are you involved with him again?"

Siping's expression was a little awkward, and he whispered in Gu Xiyan's ear: "Sanping, where is the spy agency in charge of Yandi?"

Gu Xiyan frowned lightly: "Do you usually keep in touch?"

In the clear weather, Siping broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly said: "No, I never contacted... This time, because the young lady couldn't buy something, I entrusted Erping, and Erping asked Sanping to help I found..."

Gu Xiyan smiled thoughtfully and let Siping go down.

* * * * * *
In the evening, Duan Yingluo came to see Gu Xiyan, and the two of them talked for a while alone.

"I took your prescription to famous doctors from all over the country to have a look. No one saw anything wrong, and the conclusion I got was as you expected."

Gu Xiyan pondered: "That is to say, at the beginning, everything was normal, but later on, the dosage became smaller and smaller!"

Duan Yingluo nodded.

Gu Xiyan lowered her head, staring at the white porcelain teacup in her hand without making a sound.

Snow-white and delicate fingers tightly pinched the teacup, and the knuckles looked a little white.

It seems that Mother Zhao knew exactly what would happen...

Duan Yingluo hesitated and said, "What are your plans!"

Gu Xiyan smiled, and answered irrelevantly: "Do you know where Aunt Gao has gone?"

Duan Yingluo hesitated for a moment and said, "It's in Huguan Town."

Gu Xiyan laughed and said, "Huguan Town? Where? What did you do?"

"In Guanwai County, it's [-] days away from here. If you hurry up, you can get there in more than ten days. This time Yandi attacked Liangdi, and it was set as a pass."

"Pass, what do you mean? What is Aunt Gao doing there?"

"Whenever there is a war, Yandi will set a place closer to the battlefield as a pass, and some soldiers who were injured on the battlefield and hope to be healed will be sent there for treatment and recuperation... Aunt Gao is here It helps to treat the wounded soldiers there.”

Gu Xiyan was stunned.

Duan Yingluo's smile was also a bit bitter: "It is said that since the fourth year of Xizhao 290, whenever there is a war, she will go to the pass set up by the Yan army..."

War, soldiers, orphans, churches, Father Bai, Mrs. Han, Aunt Gao... all revolved in her mind like a revolving lantern.

She seemed to have caught something, but felt very vague...
