Chapter 27

"Come quickly, the young lady has fallen into the water, come quickly and save my sister..."

The little maid yelled at the top of her voice, like a starling whose tongue had been cut off, it was so sad that it didn't sound like a human being could make.

The emerald green lake was above her head, and in the cold winter months, the warm cotton coat became an obstacle, dragging her body and falling deeper into the lake.

Underwater, as soon as Gu Nian possessed this body, he was faced with a catastrophe. He couldn't breathe underwater, and the remaining oxygen in his chest was about to be exhausted.

Time waits for no one, Gu Nian chose to save himself.

She took off her little jacket in the water, and only wore her inner garment. The piercing chill was consuming her body's heat little by little.

Not waiting any longer, Gu Nian exerted her tenacious will to relax herself underwater as much as possible, let her body float up slowly, and float out of the water.

With a "crash", Gu Nian crawled out of the lake full of crushed ice and fell on the stone steps, exhausting all his strength.

"Miss, miss? Miss Nian..."

Gu Nian passed out, and the last thing she saw was a tear-stained and mournful face.

In the dead of night, there was the sound of insects chirping outside the window, Gu Nian opened his eyes, the moonlight shining through the window lattice, sprinkled on the curtain above his head, it was gray.

There were rustling sounds in the distance, someone was walking towards this side, and there was a soft murmur: "Mother Li, do you want to report back to the second lady in the mansion when Miss Nian fell into the water this time? Now she is the head of the General's Mansion, our eldest lady, I'm afraid we will never be able to return to the General's Mansion..." sniffing and snorting, there was obviously no respect for the eldest lady in her tone.

"Shut up, are you able to say these words?" With a warning, the voice was calm and solemn, with a calm tone. Judging from the tone alone, it should be quite old.

The voice in the ear became more and more clear. Gu Nian had just woken up, and before he could figure out the situation, he heard the wooden door creak, and quickly closed his eyes.

Luo Wei lifted one side, and the steady voice was still calling Gu Nian softly: "Miss Nian, Sister Nian..."

Gu Nian didn't respond, until the footsteps faded away again, she sat up from the bed, sorting out the memory of the original owner in her mind.

The original owner, Yuan Nian, is the daughter of General Yuan Zhengguan of the State of Zhou. Twelve years ago, he was just a lieutenant of Jianzhong. .

With this power, Yuan Zhengguan quickly ascended to the position, and his official position was higher than that of Gu Hua. The ambitious Yuan Zhengguan was not satisfied with this. one floor.

Because of this, Gu Qingyue became a victim of Yuan Zhengguan's subordinates, and she was abandoned in Yuan Zhengguan's old house without the title of Da Furen. The name was to pray for him when he went out to battle, and this prayer lasted for ten years.

In the past ten years, Yuan Zhengguan accepted Liu Yunshan, the prostitute's daughter-in-law of Shangshu Youcheng, saying that she was a concubine, just to prevent the royal family from being jealous, and to block Youyou's mouth, but Liu Yunshan held the power of the general's house.

In the past ten years, the original owner has not seen his father or mother, but in this deep courtyard, it is just a waste of time.

When the original owner was 14 years old, Yuan Zhengguan won a great victory in the Yinshan Mountains. The six-year-old grandson was supported by the regent Wang An Chuzhuo. In order to prevent Yuan Zhengguan from overshadowing the master, the regent Wang An Chuzhuo promulgated a series of laws under the guise of the emperor. .

Set up offices, divided into inner office and outer office. The inner office leads directly to Tianfu, and the civil servants and generals in the outer office check and balance each other. During the whole process, the royal family took back the military power of the general Yuan Zhengguan, seized the power of the prime minister, and controlled the secretary team of the inner office.

The three legs stand together and coerce each other. In order to better check and balance the forces of all parties, the regent chooses a concubine for the six-year-old emperor to fill the harem. The original owner was pushed out by Yuan Zhengguan and stood on the cusp of the storm.

The fight between women is like killing without blood, and geese passing without leaving traces.

The original owner once asked his father for help, the six-year-old emperor, what he needed was a playmate, not a puppet destined to become a political puppet.

Yuan Zhengguan used the original owner's mother to threaten her, but she had no idea that the original owner, who was Gu Qingyue's spiritual pillar, had committed suicide by taking poison the moment Yuan Nian entered the palace.

The beauties hidden in the deep palace, the chess game loses itself.

The original owner hated her father. Not only did she not get his father's favor since she was a child, but she also locked herself firmly in the palace for his official career. She became a pawn, and only by dying can she have real liberation.

"Master Death, I use all the luck in my life in exchange for my mother's life, and let my grandfather's family be wronged. I hope that I have nothing to do with Yuan Zhengguan in this life!"

Gu Nian looked at the blood-stained woman floating in the sky, and sighed, "I can also fetch Yuan Zhengguan's life for you, don't you need...?"

The woman shook her head, the torment of the woman in the deep palace made her devastated, even so, she was still like a lotus flower, noble and upright, "...no need, although he was sorry for me and my mother, but after all he fought for Zhou Guo Victory has prevented countless people from being displaced, and in this life, we will never meet again..."

"make a deal!"

The original owner was soft-hearted and let Yuan Zhengguan go, only asking himself and his mother to get rid of Yuan Zhengguan's restraint in exchange for a free and unfettered life.

The memories came to an abrupt end, and now there are still four years before being forced into the palace, every step Gu Nian takes after that must be cautious.

This is a feudal society, and the status of women is not as good as that of men. The current plan is to protect ourselves first.

The night was getting deeper, the wind was howling outside, and Gu Nian shivered under the blanket in the tent, drenched in sweat, the chill of falling into the lake water, and the aftereffects of choking on the water, all came out now.

"Water... Is there any water?" Gu Nian hoarse, her voice was completely blocked in her throat, and she couldn't make a sound.

The little face was flushed with heat, but the limbs and bones were filled with waves of coldness, and the whole person was in a groggy state.

In the dimness, someone lifted her from the bed, half hugged her, and a cup of water moistened her thirsty throat.

Swallowing, when the clear water slid through the throat, there was a strong tingling pain, and when the dry mouth feeling passed, when the fourth cup of tea was brought, Gu Nian lightly opened the corners of his lips, and couldn't help switching from gulping water to swallowing in small sips.

A lot of clear water was exchanged for a moment of sobriety. Gu Nian opened her eyes and saw a beautiful woman sitting sideways on her bed, wiping the sweat from her forehead with a veil.

"Mother..." Gu Nian opened his mouth, but didn't shout out.

Her black hair was tied neatly behind her head, her calm and peaceful face was full of classical beauty, and her every move, every frown and smile carried a dignified and elegant temperament.

Her body exudes a touch of sandalwood, and she eats fast and recites Buddha all the year round, which makes her exude a peaceful atmosphere all over her body.

"The doctor prescribed some medicine in the afternoon, but seeing that you haven't woken up and the medicine is still warm in the kitchen, I'll ask Nanny Li to bring it to you later. I hope the fever will subside early in the morning."

Gu Qingyue's voice was like a shenghou solo, melodious, soft and clear.

Gu Nian nodded obediently, Wusi fell on her chest, and was hooked back to the back of her head by a pair of dexterous hands.

Indigo-colored glazed bowl, black and brown Chinese medicine ripples in the bowl, and the medicine bowl emits a bitter taste.

Gu Nian closed her eyes in pain, she now misses the capsules and tablets from her previous life very much.

"Miss Nian, can Mama feed you?" Nanny Li held a spoon and made a gesture to feed her mouthful.

Gu Nian described the character of the child in his mind, as if making trouble for no reason, he stretched out his hand and pushed the other person, and the dark brown liquid medicine poured on Gu Nian's body and the bed.

The bitter taste immediately filled the air, Gu Nian threw the quilt on the ground, and frantically pulled the curtain on Ba Bu's bed.

"Miss Nian, don't mess around like this. Women should be quiet and kind. If you insist on doing this, you may be disliked by the general. It's better for a girl to keep her own place."

If these words were put in normal times, it would be the most common sentence Li Nanny said when reprimanding the original owner, but the original owner also thinks that Li Nanny's words are correct.

Father didn't come to see her just because she was not well-behaved and obedient.

Now that she has become Gu Nian, these words are no longer a threat to her.

Gu Nian still went his own way, but caring about the original owner's body, Gu Nian happily downed the second bowl of medicine that was brought.

It's just that during the whole process, except for Gu Qingyue, she didn't show any kindness to anyone else.
