"It's a big trouble..."
In the courtyard in the other corner of the General's Mansion, Mrs. Sun sat cross-legged on the heated kang in front of the window, looking at the night falling outside, her eyes, which were stained with some vicissitudes, were already gloomy.
Feng's mother was also worried, thinking of the rumors and rumors that had spread all over the streets in Beijing in recent days, she wanted to persuade her, and finally sighed.
"Ma'am, old slave..."
Halfway through, I got stuck again.
Mr. Sun looked back, only lowered his head, and the silver hairpin on his gray temples looked more and more dim under the light, and only said, "What did you hear?"
"Ugh… "
Feng's mother had lived for so many years, and it was the first time that she felt so indescribable.
"You can hear it wherever you go. At first, it was just rumored from outside. Now even the servants in our house are talking about it, and I can't stop scolding. This gossip can be said even if there is nothing at all, let alone. It really looked like something. Madam, this is not the way to go."
More than ten days ago, Mr. Lu said that he was going to a Zen temple to worship Buddha.
After Xue Kuang left, she began to believe in Buddhism.
Therefore, when this matter is brought up, naturally there will be no objection. Who would have thought that, on the way back, they would be robbed by mountain bandits and taken hostage!
At this point, it can only be said that it is a very unfortunate thing, but it is not enough to cause people to talk about it so much today.
But it's more than that.
This matter, inexplicably later, has something to do with Gu Da Gongzi of the Taishi Mansion, and Gu Jue, the head of Lifan Hall, who is now being used by the emperor!
After the incident, the news spread to the capital.
The emperor immediately sent Fang Shaoxing to lead the officers and soldiers to secretly go to suppress the bandits.
In the process of suppressing the bandits, the Lu family was a weak girl who was injured accidentally, but who would have thought that there was another Gu Juefei who was sent back to the capital so quickly!
The day when the bandits were suppressed, after all, there were many people with different eyes.
Where in the world can there be an airtight wall
With the return of the officers and soldiers who participated in the bandit suppression that day and the advance of the tribunal of the three divisions, all kinds of speculations and rumors, as if they had grown wings, spread throughout the capital within half a day.
The mountain bandits robbed the general's wife Lu, how could Gu Juefei, the head of Lifan Hall, also appear there
It's okay to appear over there, why is it still seriously injured
And according to rumors, he was not only present on the day of the bandit suppression, but also rescued Mr. Lu and shared a ride with her!
Was it not good for him to stay in the capital originally
What's the matter with him
Now, in order to protect the general's wife, he almost risked his own life, and he is still in a coma without waking up!
It is conceivable that the boring ordinary people have never been able to spread something out of nothing, not to mention that this matter is too ambiguous and too strange.
One is the grand master Gu of the Taishi's house, who was famous and promising in the past; the other is the madam of the general's house, who was a beauty in the capital in his early years and was widowed and widowed.
Even if Xue Chi's apprenticeship was in front of him, no one would ever link these two people together!
- After all, the eight poles can't be hit together, and I know it's impossible.
But now...
If you don't pass it, it's already amazing.
As soon as the bandit suppression thing came out, the big guy thought about things like Gu Juefei accepting Xue Chi as a student before, and suddenly he had eyes and noses.
On weekdays, widows out of the wall have always been the most talked about by everyone.
Not to mention, the status of this widow is very precious now, and it is not small; the person she "goes out of the wall" is even born in the capital's leading noble family.
All of a sudden, anything is said.
Some people think that this should be a coincidence, maybe Gu Juefei was sent by the emperor to suppress the bandits; some people think that the two are ganging up, but they don't know that the eldest son, who has always been very virtuous, covets the beauty of the old Beijing and China. The beauty, or the loneliness of the widow in the deep house, seduces the talented and unparalleled son.
Of course, there is no other way of saying it.
For example, what if the husband and his concubine intentionally look at each other
After all, counting on his fingers, this Lu family married early, and he is only twenty-seven years old this year, and he is two years younger than Gu Juefei, who has lived in seclusion on the mountain for six years and has not married yet!
Male talent and female appearance, what's the matter with love
All in all, if you walk around the street now, it sounds good or bad, and you can say anything.
It's just that the Lu family is a widow after all.
Even if some people think that this matter has nothing to do with Lu Jinxi, most of the rumors outside are against her.
Without Mommy Feng's careful explanation, Mrs Sun can guess it.
After listening for a while, she slowly turned the beads in her palm and closed her eyes silently, feeling a rare upset in her heart.
After a long time, he asked, "Where are the people from the palace?"
"I came down with some precious medicinal herbs as a reward, and I wanted to ask questions, but you know that the second young lady hasn't woken up yet, so she can't ask anything, so she left not long after."
It's a big deal, but it's not that simple.
Because before the news of the mountain bandits robbing Lu Jinxi reached the capital, the news of the destruction of the Xiongnu mission also spread to the capital.
Coincidentally -
Fang Shaoxing counted the number of the bandits after following the order to suppress the bandits, and found the corpse of a Huns among the piles of corpses!
It wasn't anyone else, it was the only Hun envoy who escaped the disaster and disappeared, Huyanqi!
Two bloody cases, one Huyanqi who did not die in the right place.
There's just too much involved here.
No one knows what the connection between these two murders will be, and whether Lu Jinxi and Gu Juefei have any ulterior ties to these two murders.
All in all, the chief clerk of the three divisions in charge of investigating this case has to visit the General's Mansion twice a day, and even the palace sends people down to inquire every day to see if Lu Jinxi is awake or not.
Sun's is not someone who has never seen a big scene.
But even with her extensive knowledge, she couldn't guess what was the connection between these two appalling tragedies and what purpose they wanted to achieve.
"The soldiers will block the water and cover the soil, and wait for her to wake up."
"Then the old slave will send someone over to take a look."
Feng's mother also sighed. Although she had a lot of criticisms against Lu Jinxi in her heart, she felt that she had really ruined the reputation of the General's Mansion.
But the person's life and death are still uncertain, so he had to suppress those criticisms.
She lifted the curtain and went out the door, and she was about to instruct the little maid outside the door to go to the East Court to inquire, but she just happened to see another maid hurried over, panting and saying, "Mother Feng, Mama Feng, East Over there, the second grandmother woke up!"
In the east courtyard, Lu Jinxi, who woke up, didn't know what was going on outside, let alone the Hun embassy.
Even when she saw Wei Xianlai, she didn't have much reaction.
A calm gaze swept across her face, and in the end it was all silent.
Are you in big trouble
Needless to say she knew it.
The origins of the "mountain bandits" who held her were not ordinary: not only did they beat the secret guards of the Taishi Mansion, but they also had more or less connections with the Xiongnu or the Huns, and finally ran away a few...
"You said that you are too, so what kind of incense should I put on the Zen temple?" Wei Xian sat on the embroidered pier moved by the maid, "As soon as this happened, the words outside were really ugly. It's ugly. If I were you, I'd be so ashamed that I would have committed suicide. Second sister-in-law is so good, she looks like a normal person! "
"Third grandma, you..."
Again, speaking of sarcastic words, the egret couldn't bear it any longer.
Wei Xian squinted at her, and snorted, "but the second sister-in-law is fine, what should I do? Now that the mid-feeder, the wife has been handed over to me again, the second sister-in-law just relaxes. If you're concerned, let's just take care of the injury. Inside the palace and the government's side, people are still sent to ask questions every three days, but some suffer."
"… "
Lu Jinxi still didn't answer, just lightly, but looking at Wei Xian, she already felt that she was noisy.
It's just that Wei Xian hasn't felt the slightest bit yet.
The opening remarks were almost finished, she turned her eyes slightly, and wanted to open her mouth to inquire about a part that she was most interested in.
"Speaking of which, there are rumors that there are noses and..."
Unexpectedly, before she could fully ask this question, Lu Jinxi, who was leaning on the bed, waved to Qingque next to her impatiently.
There are only two cold words at the exit—
"see a visitor out."
"you!"
The arrogant Wei Xian was once again stunned and speechless!
Compared to the past, at any rate, she would still be tit for tat with her theory, such indifference and ignorance with no interest at all, obviously makes people feel more insulted!
I really can't see the coffin without tears!
She suddenly felt that the little pity she felt in her heart was just blinded by lard! I still want to inquire about it, and then help her come up with ideas!
Right now, it's still up to her to lose her reputation!
Wei Xian is also a person who wants face. Thinking like this, he is too lazy to stay, sneered, and got up directly.
Xiudun didn't even sit hot yet, so he turned around and left.
The back looked at it, somewhat annoyed and angry.
Both the blue sparrow and the egret were stunned.
They almost couldn't remember how long it had been since their wife had been so angry with anyone, not to mention the third grandma Wei Xian, who ostensibly visited the Sanxian Temple together a while ago.
The two didn't speak for a while.
However, Lu Jinxi directly reached out and took the medicine bowl that Qingque was holding into his own.
Then the empty bowl was handed back.
At the end, he raised his head and asked, "Master Gu, how is it?"
