On New Year's Eve, they put on the new clothes that they had bought earlier and lit the first string of firecrackers to send off the year that was about to pass. It was said that people were in high spirits when they were happy. Their faces were rosy and full of energy. In addition, most of the red on their bodies looked festive. However, the weather was not good. On the last day of the year, they woke up to find that the sky was gray. It did not take long for it to snow.
The dense snowflakes drifted down and almost filled the line of sight. It also made the originally bustling streets less festive. Although the vendors were still gathered, although the lanterns and silks were still red, they were especially eye-catching under the white snow. Only the children who loved to play were not affected by the weather. They gathered near their homes and played with the snow. They had snowball fights, built snowmen, attacked and defended... The laughter brought back the memories of the adults, and the corners of their mouths could not help but curl up.
At this moment, the Lan Mansion in the west of the city was shrouded in a layer of haze. Overnight, everyone in the mansion knew that Lan Xi had made a move on Gu Moxi. The purple scratch marks on his neck were the best evidence. Although it was not clear what had happened, the positions of the servants were more distinct. The Prince's Mansion naturally felt that Lan Xi had repaid kindness with ingratitude. She was a Prince and doted on you, but now she strangled her neck. No one could justify it.
The other party did not think much of it. Although they were the subordinates of the Soul Eater, they knew that Lan Xi was their master's master when they were transferred to protect her secretly. In addition, during this period of time, her style of never taking the initiative to cause trouble was well known. Therefore, Gu Moxi's neck had a scar because he had angered his master. If they were to say that this scratch was too light, they would definitely kill him, regardless of whether he was a prince or not.
If they were already like this, the Five Ghosts were even more so. They were not optimistic about Gu Moxi and now they were causing all kinds of destruction, hoping that he would take the initiative to move back to the Prince's mansion. Among them, Tao Yao was the most enthusiastic, but he tried his best to provoke the other party, but the other party did not budge. After half a day, he returned without success.
Gu Moxi didn't care about the attitude and comments of anyone in the residence. The only thing she cared about was Lan Xi. Unfortunately, she hadn't seen her since she got up. Thinking that she would bring her to the palace for a banquet in the afternoon, she took advantage of Mei Sheng and Yuanyuan's absence and entered Xi Garden. When she entered the house, she didn't see Lan Xi who was supposed to be sleeping. She frowned and thought, did she really scare her away yesterday?
When he returned to the Yiran Residence, he found Butler Zhu and instructed," Xi 'er isn't in her room. Have someone search the residence. Tell me if you find her."”
"Yes, Your Highness." A hint of surprise flashed across Housekeeper Zhu's face. He did not understand why they were asked to look for it, but he still gave the order.
Actually, Housekeeper Zhu had been angry in his heart when he had been staying in the Lan manor for the past few days. Those servants did not put their manor in their eyes at all. Other than providing accommodation and equipment, they paid for everything else themselves. Usually, they would just watch helplessly and not help. Forget about this, but even the courtyard where the prince lived was built by his subordinates. Could this be the way a wealthy family treated their guests? His Highness should feel honored to be staying here. This group of people really didn't know what was good for them. And those five servants with high status, how could they eat at the same table as their master? It was clear that the identity of master and servant was confused.
An hour later, Housekeeper Zhu reported that he had not found her. Gu Mo Xi was anxious and hurriedly took off her cloak and put it on. She took off her sword and left the Lan Mansion regardless of the heavy snow. She turned a deaf ear to Housekeeper Zhu's cries behind her, and her white figure quickly blended into the snowflakes.
Only when Gu Mo Xi's shadow disappeared did the Bamboo Housekeeper shake his head and walk back. His weathered face had a bitter smile, thinking that His Highness really loved that girl. He didn't even care about his own body in order to find her, not to mention that he was strangled by that girl yesterday.
In the room of the Sunset Garden, a black shadow jumped down from the beam of the room and silently landed on the table. It had a streamlined and elegant body, black and smooth fur, a pair of fluffy inverted triangular ears on its small head, and black cat eyes that seemed pure and bottomless. Its small nose was very cute, and its furry tail silently swept across the table. It lay down lazily, licking its claws with its small tongue.
The black cat was Lan Xi, who had turned back into her real body. Before Gu Moxi came in, she jumped onto the beam to hide, but she didn't expect to fall asleep with her eyes closed. At this time, she was woken up by Housekeeper Zhu. Her furry cat ears were turned to the side. Listening to his shouts, it seemed that Gu Moxi had left in a hurry. As for what she was going to do, it was not within her scope of concern.
She narrowed her eyes. She didn't believe that the man would molest a cat. She didn't think that it was wrong to strangle him yesterday. How could she be safe if he dared to do this to her? If it were anyone else, they would probably die. However, she couldn't understand why he didn't do it in the end. She couldn't understand the complicated feelings she had when she heard that he would think of her even if his life was in danger. It was like a muffled knock on her head, reminding her that if she did it, she would regret it for the rest of her life.
The black cat seemed to be getting frustrated from thinking about it. It raised its paw and scratched its ears. Then, it turned around and continued to sleep. Just let that man search the entire city in the snow, hmph!
The room was warmed by the stove, and the black cat was sleeping very comfortably. The cat ears on its head trembled from time to time as if it was having a beautiful dream. Looking at it, it unconsciously smacked its lips in its sleep. It was obviously dreaming about delicious food.
It was comfortable, but Gu Moxi, who was out looking for it, was pitied. The heavens seemed to be deliberately tormenting him. Not long after he left, the snow intensified and a blizzard began. In his memory, it had only snowed once ten years ago when he was ten years old. Tian Sheng was hit by a snowstorm that rarely happened in a hundred years. His father was so busy with disaster relief that he did not have time to sleep. After the disaster stabilized, he seemed to have aged by more than ten years. It was also because his father caught a cold that he did not take care of it properly that he fell ill and finally passed away two years later. When his brother succeeded to the throne, he was conferred the title of King Jing. Now that he thought about it, many things had happened that year.
The world was left with a vast expanse of whiteness. The street vendors promptly cleaned up their stalls and hid back home. The wind was howling in their ears, and his voice could not travel far. In such a harsh environment, Gu Moxi struggled to find the love in her heart. The white fox fur cloak fluttered in the wind and snow, which could not keep out the cold. He was also focused on finding people, and soon he was shivering from the cold. His black hair was covered with a thin layer of snow, and his feet in cotton boots stepped forward step by step.
In the Lan Mansion, Housekeeper Zhu watched as the blizzard continued for the entire morning and did not see his highness return. He was so anxious that he was like an ant on a hot pan. He did not know whether to sit or stand. He walked around the house and could not calm down. All the servants in the Prince's mansion had been sent out to look for him, but he did not know if they could find him. Just as he was anxious and did not know what to do, he happened to see Yuanyuan holding an umbrella as she passed by the courtyard door. Thinking that she had a good temper, he might be able to ask her for help, so he hurriedly chased after her.
Butler Zhu braved the wind and snow to catch up with Yuanyuan. It was unknown whether he was in a hurry or was panting for some reason. He did not have the time to speak slowly," Miss Yuanyuan, this old servant has a request. Please agree."”
Yuanyuan naturally had a prejudice against the servants of the Prince's mansion. However, seeing that Housekeeper Zhu was old, she could not help but think of her grandfather who had been very good to her when she was alive. She smiled and said," Housekeeper Zhu is too polite. If you have anything to say, just say it. I will do my best."”
"Good good, this old servant will first thank Young Lady. It's like this, earlier his highness went out to look for Young Lady Lan and hasn't returned yet. This blizzard has been falling for four hours and this old servant is worried that something will happen to his highness outside. Could Young Lady please tell Young Lady Lan to send someone to look for him?”When Butler Zhu heard that the other party was willing to help, he quickly said, and his prejudice against them lessened.
Yuanyuan frowned, thinking that there was no need to bother the Miss about such a small matter. Couldn't Gu Moxi take care of her? With such a heavy snowstorm, they should have gone to the wall to avoid it first, so they perfunctorily told Housekeeper Zhu to continue to Li Luo, where Mei Sheng lived.
When she saw Mei Sheng, she brought up the matter of Housekeeper Zhu's request. Mei Sheng's thoughts were different from Yuanyuan's. She thought that this prince was very popular in Tian Sheng and was now living in Lan Mansion. If anything happened, it would cause trouble for the young miss. I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me. It was a sin for an immortal cultivator, so he told Lan Xi about it.
Lan Xi almost lost her temper when she was woken up. She was dreaming of countless Golden-scaled Phoenix Fish, but her heart sank when she heard Mei Sheng's words. She looked at the vast snowflakes outside and ordered the Soul Eater to bring a few people to look for them. However, she was no longer sleepy.
The waiting time was always annoying. Butler Zhu could only wait for news from Miss Lan when he returned to the Prince's mansion. Ya-er stood behind him and was anxious. Her jealousy towards Lan Xi increased.
Finally, at the end of the day, the unconscious Gu Moxi was carried into the Yiran Residence by the servants of the Lan Mansion. The servant left him behind and left the room without looking back. Housekeeper Zhu looked at his master who was lying on the bed and frozen. He was so anxious that he cried. Fortunately, he had life experience. He called for Ya 'er to help take off Gu Moxi's cloak and coat and pulled the brocade blanket on the inside to cover her tightly. Even so, it could not warm his cold body up immediately. He ordered Ya' er to bring hot water to wipe it, and then he heaved a sigh of relief. He thought to himself that he had finally found her and that he could only send someone to inform the Emperor about the palace banquet tonight.
However, Housekeeper Zhu was obviously relieved too early. Gu Mo Xi, who was originally fine during dinner, suddenly had a high fever. Her whole body was burning hot as if she was burning. She hurriedly sent someone to call the imperial doctor, but the snowstorm did not seem to stop for the whole day. He was worried that the prince would not be able to hold on until the imperial doctor arrived.
On the other side, Lan Xi had also heard from the servants that Gu Moxi was seriously ill. Thinking that he had fallen ill because he had gone to look for her, she asked Mei Sheng to take her to have a look. She also instructed Yuan Yuan to find Tao Yao to have a look. Tao Yao was famous for her use of poison when she was alive. As the saying goes, a family that treats poison, a small cold and fever should not be a problem for him.
When Tao Yao heard that he was going to treat Gu Moxi, she pouted and was obviously very unhappy. In the end, she still followed Lan Xi's instructions. When she arrived, she saw Mei Sheng standing by the bed with an expressionless face. When she came closer, she saw a black cat sitting on the bed, its soft black paws on the man's hot forehead. She suddenly held her chin with both hands and her eyes were red. Xiao Xi Xi's real body was really cute!
The black cat retracted its paw and rolled its eyes at Tao Yao." What are you standing there for? Take her pulse?"”
Tao Yao was startled by the worry in Lan Xi's words. She pondered for a moment but did not ask the question in her heart. Her fingers that were prettier than a woman gently rested on Gu Moxi's wrist. After a moment, she withdrew them and walked to the table to sit down and write a prescription." Xiao Xi Xi, don't worry. He just caught a cold. He will recover after taking three patches of medicine."”Of course, he could not let him off so easily.
