Curiously opened the wooden box, it was full of gold and silver ingots, and the top was a stack of silver tickets.
Qing'er's heartbeat seemed to miss a beat for an instant, her eyes widened to the fullest, and then she said, "X Twilight Sakura 　　　 barks only br/>
"Girl, you can't ask for this money slave!"
Gu Yunxi smiled Qingsu and pushed it to Qing'er again:
"You and I have gone through too many things together before, and I never treat you as an outsider. It is a big event for women to go out of the cabinet, so why should the maidens back up their gifts. But you know, we have been walking around in recent years, and I have been pretending to be men , I don’t have time to buy too many items from my daughter’s house. It may be too tacky to give you these yellow and white items..."
Qinger's heart filled with soreness, and she shook her head desperately, looking at the wooden box with moist eyes:
"The slave maid does not mean that. The slave maid thinks that you have to make more plans for yourself. You should keep these savings for yourself."
"You don't have to worry about me. I only tell you that there is a wooden box sealed on the top of the cabinet in my room in the Admiral's Mansion, and it contains all cash notes! Don't worry, I am not short of money."
Gu Yunxi leaned slightly and moved closer to Qing'er. He lowered his voice to pretend to be mysterious and finished. Then he grinned calmly, his slightly drooping eyes glowed under the firelight, and the delicate charm rippling on the lips made Qing'er clear. When facing the unfamiliar face in front of him, Er suddenly caught a touch of familiarity and kindness that had been missing for a long time.
"Okay, the slave and maid accepted it, thank you girl for the reward!"
Qing'er looked overjoyed, and no longer declined, she held the box beautifully. At the moment of lowering his eyes, the dark light under his eyes slipped quietly.
After plucking up her courage again, Qing'er raised her head and asked seriously:
"Girl, the medical sage can change your face, how can you not change your original face again?"
Gu Yunxi looked startled, then smiled bitterly:
"What you said is not simple, but if you want to change your face again, you have to find the original face. After nearly two years, my original dough has long turned into rot."
but……
Gu Yunxi suddenly curled his eyebrows and fell into thought.
The superintendent said that when Dongchang was at Yangfangkou and rebelling against the party, a woman laughed and helped Zun Shang to escape. o The woman appeared from the palace many times, and she covered her face with a black kerchief. Who is her identity?

In the early spring, the breeze passed a bit less the coldness of the winter, and the bare grass and trees in the garden were densely covered by new buds and buds at some point.
Immediately after lunch, Tu Muxue was secretly stopped by a low-ranking in Yongning Palace. Seeing that there was no one around, he quietly told her that there was an acquaintance waiting in the Ziqi Donglai Pavilion and told her to go quickly.
Could it be that Jingyang Palace got the bait?
Tu Muxue was overjoyed in her heart, her delicate eyebrows refused to show a half-hearted expression, she thanked her little father-in-law, and slipped out pretendingly.
At the beginning of entering the palace, she and the imperial concubine made a plan. The apparent physical punishment was a bitter trick, and it was done to show people, more accurately, it was done to Gu Yunyao. I didn't expect that the other side was hooked so quickly by the bait.
Ziqi Donglai Pavilion is a three-story Qionglou building. It was built at the beginning of Dayi's founding of the People’s Republic of China. It was built specifically to maintain the balance of the five elements based on the palace’s architectural feng shui. Surili is used to store ancient books and old objects, and not many people go here on weekdays.
Tu Muxue walked all the way to the meeting place, cast his eyes under the Liuli archway, looking around.
"Little master."
Not far away, a person whispered, Tu Muxue looked at him, and saw a man in a dark red inner tube official uniform, leaning out half of his body from the corner of the white marble fence on the west side of the building.
Is this Zhao An?
Tu Muxue did her homework before being sent to the imperial palace by Minglan, and kept in her heart the information about the people she was going to deal with, especially Yu Concubine Gu Yunyao and her men.
Tu Muxue looked at Zhao An's official uniform at the moment, and was able to conclude that he was the father-in-law of Jingyang Palace, so the exquisite facial features changed suddenly, overflowing with boundless grievances and overlapping depressions, which made people feel pity and love.
"Grandpa Zhao..."
The two approached each other quickly, one foot apart, and at the moment the girl spoke, Zhao An heard the familiar voice again. At this moment, he thought of the other person, who was in the harem not long ago. The short-lived aunt Mu.
It's strange, the girl in front of me is indeed the little master, but there is something wrong, it seems that something is missing. o
The sound of sobbing interrupted Zhao An’s speculation. The girl who was so thin and disoriented in front of her eyes suddenly fell soft and her eyes filled with distress:
"Little master, the slave is late, and you have suffered a lot."
The girl's eyes widened for a while, and she was incomprehensible, but she also knelt down in an instant, crying:
"Grandpa Zhao get up quickly, how dare the slave and maidservant be called the master, you have deliberately broken the slave and maid."
Tu Muxue didn't know the past of the two sisters of Yun Yao and Yunxi, so she still couldn't understand why a servant showed respect and obedience to her maidservant.
Opposite, Zhao An's expression was also slightly puzzled.
Two years ago, Yu Fei sisters met at the palace Kan Fangting. At that time, Zhao An and Song Qin regarded Gu Yunxi dressed in menswear as their master. After several meetings outside the palace, they did not address her. Change it again.
Thinking that Yunxi should have accepted it early in the morning, how did it seem to be shocked when we saw each other after a year and a half?
As if perceiving Zhao An’s astonished and stagnant expression, Tu Muxue was frightened, afraid that he might not be doing well, and there was a mistake in front of the people of Jingyang Palace. Then his face changed drastically, and he shed tears:
"Grandpa Zhao, it's great to see you, I thought I would never see Master Yu in my life..."
Zhao An got up and was always entangled with strange feelings in his heart when he supported Gu Yunxi, but he couldn't fault it for a while.
He only knew that when there were no outsiders in the past, Gu Yunxi would kindly call Gu Yunyao "elder sister". I think she suffered all the hardships in Yongning Palace, and since then she has been treated indiscriminately, and she is cautious in her words and deeds?
Looking at her slender face, Zhao An said with concern:
"Are you hungry, have you ever used lunch?"
The girl became more aggrieved, wiped tears on her cheek, and shook her head in a deep voice:
"Just when I was serving the meal, the name of the dish was reported incorrectly, so the lady punished me not to eat all day."
Zhao An sighed, turned around vigilantly, took out a package from his sleeve and stuffed it into the girl's hand, and whispered:
"Here, some snacks, you fill up your stomach first."
The girl pursed her lips and lifted the veil. Seeing a few soft spots inside, she grabbed it and filled her mouth without saying anything. She swallowed eagerly without chewing, and then choked with breath.
"Little master, you eat slower, slower..."
The girl's violent cough frightened Zhao An, he beat her back in panic, his throat became so tight that he could not help but choke.
Looking down at the patches of redness and swelling on her two trembling little hands, Zhao An’s eyes were moist, trembling inquiring:
"The imperial concubine still punishes you physically?"
The girl stared at her, and the next moment she hid her face and burst into tears, shrugging her thin shoulders was really distressing. Slowly rolled up the other cuff with one hand, the white arm was covered with blue and red patches, and the traces overlapped. It was obvious that the old injury was added to the new injury before it healed. Zhao An's spine was cold and he pumped suddenly. chill.
The girl burst into tears, pulling on Zhao An's wide sleeves, crying constantly:
"Grandpa Zhao, I beg you, please tell Master Yu a good thing, please save me from the sea of ​​suffering as soon as possible, I will repay my master's grace even as a cow and a horse. I am afraid if I keep going like this I don’t want to be in this palace anymore, ooh, I don’t want to die..."
Zhao An was moved and wiped his eyes with his hand.
It’s no wonder that my wife hated Leng Qingtang. It wasn’t for him that year. How could this weak girl go to Ming Palace alone, let alone be kidnapped in a strange way, and finally moved to the palace and suffered from Wan Yuyao’s hands. Tortured.
Compressing his inner grief, Zhao An exhaled a long breath on his face:
"Don't worry, the little master, the empress will never abandon you. She will figure out a way to rescue you as soon as possible. Therefore, you must know how to be patient and careful when working under the imperial concubine during this period."
After speaking, Zhao An took out a few more wallets.
Tu Muxue dodges in panic:
"You take the silver back, I, I dare not ask for it."
Zhao An forcibly stuffed the wallet and carefully ordered:
"Take it, there is no need to spend money in the palace. Master Yu said, you can keep this money to manage the people around you, and life may be better."
"Then you thanked the master for me."
The girl lowered her eyes and wept again.
...
Jingyang Palace
At one hour of the day, Gu Yunyao felt a little headache when she got up from the couch. In her first pregnancy, most of the time her body did not react much, but occasionally had headaches, as it is now.
Songqin saw that he was patiently grate the head with a water rhino horn enamel comb in hand to relieve the discomfort of the head.
Zhao An hurried into the palace in a panic, drew the curtain into the hall, knelt under the armchair, and cried out with his eyes down:
"Manny Wanan."
Seeing him come back to life, the woman's distressed eyes in front of the bronze mirror suddenly showed the light of her first awakening, she quickly turned her head, and asked impatiently:
"Is there anyone visible?"
Zhao An nodded:
"seen."
Gu Yunyao pursed her lips nervously:
"How, she's not doing well?"
Zhao An didn't dare to look up, and nodded briefly:
"Yes, the little master is in a bad situation in Yongning Palace, and every day he beats and scolds her, and keeps her hungry at every turn. Soon afterwards, Songqin reminded the slave to bring some food, and saw the little master devouring food. It really hurts people."
Songqin listened with trepidation, and said sadly:
"The imperial concubine is really cruel, is this deliberately trying to punish people to death?"
Gu Yunyao flushed her eyes and gritted her teeth for a moment:
"No, this palace can't stand it anymore. Zhao An, you can take some more money and find a way to go to Yongning Palace, so that people call Yunxi out, and this palace wants to meet her."
Zhao An thought for a while and objected:
"Master, this is not appropriate."
It's about Yunxi, Gu Yunyao always becomes impatient and shouts with a deep face:
"How inappropriate?!"
Zhao An nodded and patiently comforted:
"Master, you and the little master are in the palace nowadays. It is not as convenient to meet as the market. Now that she is working in Yongning Palace, you know that the master of Yongning Palace is dealing with her against you, so you shouldn't get out in person. If you are the imperial concubine. Knowing that the little master met you secretly in the palace, I am afraid that she will be tortured with more cruel punishments."
Gu Yunyao gradually calmed down, her expression a little embarrassed:
"You said it's true. It's just that my palace grew up with her, and now I have some rights in the harem. How can I not save her when I see her situation?"
Zhao An concentrated for a moment and said quietly:
"The minion once heard that there are two kinds of medicinal materials that have opposite properties, and that they can cause allergies such as smallpox if they are taken in hot water.
Gu Yunyao's eyes are blazing:
"Could it be that you want to..."
