Han Changmu was wearing a sky-blue tunic, with slightly darker dark patterns of auspicious clouds embroidered on the collar and cuffs of the same color. His long hair was still wet with moisture, and the water dropped on the ground.
He was holding a cup of tea in his hand, and the hot steam was mingling with the remaining heat on his hair.
Jin Yu was behind him, wiping the water on his hair with an absorbent plain handkerchief. While wiping, he whispered: "Qing Qian asked my subordinates several times today to come to the outer study to see the crown prince, but my subordinates didn't respond. The secret guard came to report, and the light in her room stayed on all night."
Han Changmu said calmly: "Let the inner guards keep an eye on her and not allow her to come to the front. Don't worry about the others." He paused and thought of what he had gained at Jianfu Temple today, and his voice became more gloomy: "If she wants to go to Jianfu Temple, Fukudera, while arranging a car for her, the secret guard must stay at all times."
Jin Yu said lowly.
At this moment, the secret guard knocked on the door and said, "Your Majesty, Gu Dalang is awake."
Han Changmu put on some clothes without haste and called the secret guard to come in and answer.
The secret guard lowered his head and said, "Back to the prince, Gu Dalang is awake. He seems to be more awake than the few times he woke up before."
Han Changmu's heart moved slightly: "Has Li Erniang gone back?"
"No."
"Go and have a look." Han Changmu put on his clothes, tied his long hair neatly at the top of his hair, raised his legs and walked out the door. As soon as he stepped out of the threshold, he suddenly remembered something, turned around and entered the inner room, and took it from the secret room. He picked up something and put it into the pouch on his waist, and then he took the secret guard and Jin Yu into the room where Gu Dalang lived.
There were only one or two lamps burning in the room, and the long candles were burning awkwardly, and the light was a little dim.
Hearing someone coming in, Gu Dalang hurriedly raised his head, and a clear light suddenly appeared in his cloudy eyes. It disappeared in an instant, and then was lost in the endless chaos.
Han Changmu narrowed his eyes, his heart skipped a beat, and waved Jin Yu and the secret guards to retreat.
He was sitting on the bed not far away, tapping the armrest with his hand. He was not looking at Gu Dalang, but his eyes seemed to be wandering around Gu Dalang's body from time to time.
The night before dawn was dull and dull, without a trace of wind. The gentle knocking sound suddenly sounded and fell.
Han Changmu remained silent, but the atmosphere became increasingly tense and tense. The pale light shone on his expressionless face, and a chill overflowed from his brows.
Gu Dalang moved his body very uncomfortably, as if he had thought of something, his frown suddenly relaxed, he bowed with difficulty, and said honestly and sincerely: "Young master saved the common people, and the common people thanked you. A life-saving grace.”
Han Changmu remained calm. During the days when he moved into the Han Mansion, he gave Gu Dalang medicine regardless of the cost. The man finally woke up several times, but each time he woke up, he was always in a daze. Gooey.
As for today, it does seem that he is much more awake than when he woke up several times before, but it is not enough.
"Look up." He said calmly with no expression on his face.
Gu Dalang was very confused and didn't understand why he was asked to raise his head, but he still raised it at a glance.
Jin Yu and the secret guard were guarding the door. When they heard Han Changmu's words, they looked at each other in surprise.
The inner guard moved his mouth silently, pointed to the room, and asked something.
Jin Yu's face was complicated and ugly, and she shook her head.
Han Changmu had no idea
The two people guarding the gate outside the road had some dirty thoughts, and they just looked at Gu Dalang intently, looking at the muddy and weathered eyes.
According to Yao Yao, this person is a few years older than her, in his mid-twenties, but why does he have such eyes at the age of twenty-five or six.
Even after going through a disaster, he shouldn't be so old and depressed, without any transparency.
He became suspicious and asked flatly: "You are not Gu Dalang."
He said he was asking, but there was an undoubted certainty in his words. After speaking, he looked at Gu Dalang coldly and sternly.
Gu Dalang trembled, and there was unconcealable panic in his eyes, but he calmed down very quickly, and said calmly as usual: "Master, what are you talking about? Common people, you can't understand."
Han Changmu raised his lower lip, hearing what Jin Yu said when Gu Dalang was unconscious, Jin Yu pushed away Li Erniang and searched his back to report back. Then he quickly stepped forward and rolled up Gu Dalang's sleeves to his shoulders, revealing a light blue cloud pattern. He sneered: "Didn't anyone tell you who I am?"
Gu Dalang was caught off guard and was stunned. He did not expect that Han Changmu would have such a move, nor did he expect that he even knew the mark. He couldn't help but take a quick breath.
He didn't know who this person was. The few times he woke up, he was in chaos. He only vaguely heard Li Erniang say that this person saved him and Li Erniang. Now looking at the furnishings in the room, this person The person's background should be very wealthy.
He was very surprised, how could a handsome young man from a wealthy family know such a secret thing.
You must know that this mark on his body has never been shown to anyone.
Han Changmu didn't give him a chance to think. He took something out of his bag and waved it in front of Gu Dalang's eyes.
Gu Dalang's expression changed, and he couldn't hide his shock and said, "Common people, I wonder what you mean by this?"
"Have you never seen this thing?" Han Changmu sneered with narrowed eyes.
Gu Dalang said with difficulty: "No."
Han Changmu laughed angrily, threw the thing at Gu Dalang, and said coldly: "Since you haven't seen it before, let's take a closer look."
Gu Dalang hesitated for a moment and glanced at that thing.
It was a bright red jade pendant, carved into the shape of auspicious clouds, exactly the same as the mark on his shoulder, even the texture was exactly the same.
In fact, he had already seen this thing clearly just now. Even if he didn't look at it now, he knew what it was, but he just didn't want to believe it. He didn't believe that after decades, someone could still find him, let alone that after dozens of years, he could still find him. Years later, there are still people who know about this.
He remained silent, using silence to resist Han Changmu's questioning.
Han Changmu smiled unhurriedly: "The prison of the Department of Internal Security has received a few new torture instruments, but they have not been used yet. We just need a person to try them out."
Gu Dalang trembled, his face turned pale, but he still gritted his teeth and did not speak.
Han Changmu laughed again: "As a chamberlain, it's not easy for you to leave your own flesh and blood. What do you think will happen to Li Erniang if I hand her over?"
Gu Dalang suddenly raised his head and looked at Han Changmu's smiling face. His eyes suddenly turned red. He struggled up from the bed and growled angrily: "You are not allowed to touch Er Niang. You cannot touch Er Niang. She doesn't know anything. ,do not know anything."
"Oh? She doesn't know anything, so you know?" Han Changmu smiled and stepped back to Hu
Sitting down on the bed, that smiling face seemed to Gu Dalang like the death-rushing Yama in hell.
Gu Dalang was discouraged, sat back and said dejectedly: "If I told you, would you let Er Niang go?"
Han Changmu narrowed his eyes: "It depends on what you said and how much you said."
Gu Dalang raised his eyes, his eyes were covered with red bloodshot eyes, and he already looked stern and dejected: "I will tell you everything, please keep my second mother safe."
Han Changmu tapped the bed lightly: "Okay."
The lights in the guest room were brightly lit. Mrs. Liu and Li Erniang worked together to clean up more than a dozen wounds, large and small, on Yao Yao's body. They were shaking their hands and crying, sobbing.
Mrs. Liu couldn't stand it anymore and coaxed in a low voice: "Er Niang, don't cry. Yao will be fine if he joins the army."
Li Erniang's nose and eyes were red from crying, and her voice was very nasal and buzzing when she spoke: "I know, I, I, am just sad."
Ms. Liu patted Li Erniang on the shoulder and said, "You have stayed up all night. It's almost dawn. You should go back and sleep for a while."
While he was talking, Bao Cheng came in with medicine. The dark medicinal soup exuded an extremely bitter smell, and suddenly filled the whole room.
Mrs. Liu hurriedly added a stick of incense to the Boshan stove. The quiet smell of the fine agarwood could not cover up the medicinal smell.
She sighed: "Why is this medicine so bitter?"
Bao Cheng pinched his nose and sighed: "If Han Fengyu's wealth and life hadn't been in the house, I would have thought that he was going to die of misfortune."
Li Erniang was so sick by the bitter smell of the medicine that she endured it again and again. Finally, she endured it and said, "Good medicine is bitter. Maybe if you drink this bowl of medicine, Sister Ayao will be fine."
Bao Cheng nodded and came forward with the medicine: "I'll feed you, you guys have a rest." Seeing Mrs. Liu wanting to step forward, he hurriedly said: "Please, Mrs. Liu, please make a bowl of sugar water. A Yao has finished drinking it." The medicine also helps clear the mouth."
Ms. Liu smiled, without thinking too much, she said "ok" neatly and went to the kitchen.
Li Erniang couldn't stand it any longer, and since Bao Cheng was her husband, she couldn't stay in the room with him for too long after Mr. Liu left, so she bowed and said, "Then I'll have to help Mr. Bao."
Bao Cheng nodded with a smile, lifted Yao Yao up and leaned against the bedside. As soon as he put the medicine to her mouth, he noticed that his hand was heavy. He looked down and saw Yao Yao pinching his hand softly. Hands on.
He was stunned for a moment, ecstatic, and almost screamed, when he heard a weak whisper in his ear: "Don't scream."
Bao Cheng quickly shut his mouth, and then whispered softly: "A Yao, you woke up, you scared me to death."
Yao Yao closed her eyes and shook her head. Just as she was about to speak, she heard the sound of hurried footsteps, and she suddenly stopped making any sound.
The door curtain moved, and Leng Linjiang barged in, still smelling of moisture after bathing. Seeing Bao Cheng feeding Yao Yao medicine, he quickly came over to take the medicine bowl: "Go away, I'll feed him."
Bao Cheng was stunned, and noticed that Yao Yao squeezed his hand again. He immediately understood, grasped the medicine bowl tightly, and said with a smile: "I'll feed him, Mr. Shaoyin, please go to the nursery." I went to the kitchen to see if Liu's sugar water was ready, and I brought it over just in time to clear Ayao's mouth after giving her medicine."
Leng Linjiang did not doubt that he was there. He nodded, glared at Bao Cheng, and said angrily: "Then you feed him well. If you let him go, I'll break your hand."
