famous eldest daughter

Chapter 79 Thank you

When the carriage swayed to a stop at the second gate of Chinanhou Mansion, the sky was already dark, and Ji Xiang helped Gu Yuqing get out of the car.

As soon as her feet landed on the ground, Gu Yuqing called to the boy who came to hold the horse to stop and asked: "Is the Marquis in the house?"

The young man stepped forward, stood with his hands down, and said respectfully: "If I want to answer to the eldest lady, the Marquis is not here."

"Go tell the housekeeper and ask him to take people to the Taoist temple in Beihuang Mountain. If you see the Marquis, you must invite him back to me no matter what." Gu Yuqing ordered in a deep voice.

The boy promised respectfully.

Seeing Gu Yuqing walking towards the inner courtyard, Ji Xiang turned around and left the house, heading straight for Fengtai.

A lantern half-baked in the mansion had been lit, and the gentle breeze blew by, fluttering the golden tassels under the lantern. The tassels swayed, as if telling a long story.

Walking all the way back to Tongyuan, Gu Yuqing took the medicine and delivered it to Ruyi personally.

When she went there, Ruyi was looking down at a piece of paper, gesturing and studying something. When she saw Gu Yuqing coming in, she stood up to greet her, "Miss."

Gu Yuqing looked at the piece of paper Ruyi placed on the small table. It was a map made from a sketch.

"Where is this?" Gu Yuqing asked, pointing to the map.

Ruyi said: "This is Prince Duan's Mansion. When I visited Prince Duan's Mansion last night, I was ambushed here." Ruyi pointed to a rockery on the map.

Ruyi's eyesight and memory are very good. Gu Yuqing was not surprised that she could draw a rough topographic sketch of Prince Duan's Mansion from her memory. She just looked at the place Ruyi pointed at and asked, "What's wrong here? "

There is obviously a reason why Ruyi is willing to take the trouble to think about this matter.

Ruyi nodded when he heard the words, "The servant squatted on the tree for a long time. When he saw that there was no one, he turned over and got off the tree. But just before he could stand firm, he was ambushed. And the person who fought with the slave was not from Prince Duan's Mansion. The soldiers are ruthless and cruel, like soldiers raised to die."

Dead man?

Gu Yuqing was startled, pointed at the map and asked Ruyi, "Where is this place?"

Ruyi replied: "It is Prince Duan's study. The place where the servant was ambushed is right next to the rockery outside the study."

Prince Duan secretly planted a dead soldier outside his study?

What is he watching out for!
"Are you sure you are a dead soldier and not a Jianghu person recruited by Prince Duan? The poison you were poisoned was Zhuyeqing from the Xiaosu sect. Isn't the person you fought with a child of the Xiaosu sect?"

Ruyi shook his head firmly, "It's not the Xiaosu sect. Although the Xiaosu sect is vicious and perverse, their biggest habit is that they never hide their identity. A pair of green-faced and gray-soled square-toed cloth shoes are the easiest to recognize. Furthermore, those who fight against slaves Man, his techniques and kicks are not the moves of the Xiao Su Sect."

Prince Duan not only has a personal connection with the Xiaosu sect, but also raises dead warriors with excellent martial arts skills. What is he going to do!
The word rebellion couldn't help but flash through Gu Yuqing's mind.

In her last life, Prince Duan died in a hurry at the Taoist Temple in Beihuang Mountain, but there was no chance to cause trouble. Therefore, she was reborn again but she didn't know what Prince Duan had in mind.

"What have you figured out?" Gu Yuqing collected her thoughts and asked Ruyi.

Ruyi pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and said: "I guess those dead soldiers should be hiding in this rockery. There may be another world in this rockery."

Gu Yuqing understood what Ruyi meant. She wanted to say that this rockery was a mechanism.

Just like the Chinanhou Mansion, there is an inconspicuous rockery in the back garden of the Chinanhou Mansion. On the edge of the rockery, a craftsman carved a lotus flower that can be mistaken for the real one, floating faintly on the water.

And a certain petal of this lotus is the button that triggers the mechanism.

However, there is no secret guard hidden in this mechanism in his home, but an escape passage to the suburbs, which was built by his grandfather back then.

Is the rockery at the palace at the end really a mechanism for hiding dead soldiers, as Ruyi said?
Are these dead men he hid related to the murder at his grandfather's house?
Gu Yuqing had a lot of thoughts in her mind for a while, but she couldn't figure out why.

"You still have toxins in your body that have not been completely removed. Don't worry too much." Gu Yuqing left the antidote that she had asked for from Abbot Taihong. Gu Yuqing told Ruyi in detail how to use it, and told her to pay attention to rest before leaving and returning home. His own bedroom.

After a tiring day, she didn't feel sleepy.

After washing, changing into homely clothes, and having a simple dinner, Gu Yuqing dismissed the serving maids.

The tea eggs were placed on the small table at hand. Gu Yuqing took off the jade pendant from her waist and placed them side by side with the tea eggs, waiting for them to appear.

If it hadn't asked for tea eggs today, I wouldn't have accidentally bumped into Mother Jiang, let alone know this shocking secret.

It can be seen that this is "Tianji" to eat tea eggs, and it is indeed guiding her.

For the first time, Gu Yuqing felt sincere gratitude to the divine jade "Tianji".

After putting away the jade pendant, Gu Yuqing poured herself a cup of hot tea, looking at the steaming steam rising from the tea, feeling slightly lost in thought.

Gu Yuhe, younger brother, Zhou Qingde, Prince Duan's Mansion...everything was like a mess, spread out in her mind, and she tried hard to unravel it one by one.

Now, everything seems to be just the tip of the iceberg.

When the iceberg melts one day, Gu Yuqing doesn't know what kind of nastiness and filth is hidden under the iceberg.

"You have a conscience and know how to thank me." Shen Yu's cold voice rang out before she had a cup of tea.

Gu Yuqing collected her thoughts and looked at Shenyu, "I really want to thank you today."

Shenyu snorted coldly, "Not only today, I gave you three tasks and helped you three times. You have to thank me today, but what about the first two times!" The voice was aggressive.

Gu Yuqing felt apologetic in her heart when it said, "Thank you for the first two times as well."

Shenyu immediately smiled proudly, "That's more like it." As he said that, he changed the topic, "Peel the tea eggs for me quickly and keep saying thank you. Is this how you treat your great favor? You want to give me Do I eat egg skins?"

Great kindness... Gu Yuqing was speechless.

Picking up the tea egg, placing a plain white silk handkerchief on it, and peeling it off little by little, Gu Yuqing felt that at this moment, she was just a little maid serving others.

No, it’s for serving jade.

Who asked her to reveal an earth-shattering secret to her today? Just let her be a maid, not a slave girl.

After the tea eggs were peeled, Gu Yuqing put the smooth eggs into the glass bowl at hand and said, "It's done."

Before he finished speaking, he saw a dazzling white light flashing from the divine jade in front of him, like lightning tearing through the sky.

The last time Shenyu ate porridge happened so suddenly that Gu Yuqing didn't see it clearly.

This time, even though Gu Yuqing was prepared in advance, her eyes were fixed on the jade pendant for a moment, but the white light flashed by, and she still couldn't help blinking.

Just as she blinked, a peeled tea egg disappeared from the table.

"It's too fast!" Gu Yuqing couldn't help but sigh.

While he was talking, there was a sudden strong wind outside and thunderous sounds.
