Gu Moxi was in a coma for the whole night. When the sky turned gray, the heat subsided. Housekeeper Zhu and Ya 'er, who had been guarding the house for the whole night, were relieved. Housekeeper Zhu told Ya' er to go out and prepare breakfast. Her thin figure walked with heavy steps. As she walked, she beat her waist. After all, she was not as old as young people who could stay up late.
Ya-er took off the handkerchief on Gu Moxi's forehead and put it away. Her eyes involuntarily fell on the lazy black cat on the table. She didn't know how to feel when she saw its two front paws resting on its chin. She remembered that the first time she saw it was because His Highness wanted to choose a maid for it. Later on, it was because of it that she was ridiculed by the other servants in the Prince's mansion. Then this time.
When she was in the Prince's mansion, Ya 'er had heard a lot about the black cat. She had heard that it had already left. Why was it here now? Why didn't Miss Lan come to visit the Prince? She couldn't help but step forward and approach the black cat. Her outstretched hands couldn't help but tremble. Her expression was absent-minded, and no one knew what she was thinking.
The black cat cast a cold glance at him. There seemed to be disdain and mockery in its eyes, which made Ya-er tremble. She suddenly retracted her outstretched hand. Surprise flashed across her slightly beautiful face. Was she seeing things just now? Why did she see the expression of a person in the eyes of a beast?
Lan Xi ignored the human woman next to her and turned to look out the window. The blizzard had lasted for a day and a night and had just stopped not long ago. There should not be any natural disasters. Yesterday, there seemed to be a banquet in the palace. Gu Moran sent her an invitation for some reason. In the end, not only did she not go, even Gu Moxi said that she was ill and did not appear. According to the relationship between the three brothers, they should come to visit soon.
It was precisely because of this that Gu Moran invited Lan Xi into the palace to attend the banquet to ask her what reward she wanted. She heard from her third brother, Gu Moyan, that she had contributed a lot to the plague in Liao City. As a monarch who had a clear reward, he could not pretend not to know. He also thought that she really did not know what to reward. Presumably, she would not care about the gold, silver, jewelry, splendor and wealth that people liked. Therefore, he asked Gu Moyan to pass the invitation on her behalf.
As for handing the invitation to Gu Moxi, it was Gu Moran's idea. Lan Xi was a demon, who knew if she would give him face, but he couldn't let him, the Emperor, lose face in front of all the officials. He handed the invitation to Gu Moxi, believing that his second brother could bring her into the palace, and things would naturally be much easier. However, who would have thought that yesterday in Ming De Hall, he would wait and wait for the news of his illness. Today, after the court session ended in advance, he went to visit Lan Mansion with Gu Moyan.
Sitting in a gorgeous carriage, they arrived in front of the Lan Mansion. Unlike other wealthy families, there were no stone lions here. It was an ordinary door with a black plaque with the words 'Lan Mansion' written on it. Two red lanterns swayed in the wind beside the vermilion pillar. There were no couplets on the door. It really did not look like a festival.
After getting off the carriage, Little Yuanzi went up to knock on the door. Not long after, someone came to answer the door. The person was expressionless and looked at Gu Moyan, who was among the three people outside. He had already guessed their identities, but he still pretended not to know and asked," What's the matter?"”
"Go and tell your master that he will come out immediately to welcome a guest.”Probably seeing that the person who came did not know manners, Little Yuanzi was a little arrogant. He pointed his orchid finger at the other party as he spoke.
Who knew that not only did the other party not open the door and run to inform them, but he also asked about their identity. That cautious gaze was as if he was guarding against an enemy. As the Emperor's personal eunuch and the head of the Internal Affairs Office, Little Yuanzi would have to smile and bow to anyone who saw him. When he saw this attitude, he immediately rebuked angrily," Impudent! Do you know what identity my master has? Hurry up and inform him!"”
This time, the other party was even more ruthless. He didn't even say a word and directly closed the door. No matter how much Little Yuanzi knocked on the door, there was no response. What a joke. He was the number one killer in the world of killers. Opening the door for him was already giving him enough face. He actually dared to shout at him like an ordinary servant. So what if he was the emperor? With his master, he wouldn't dare to do anything.
Gu Moran was depressed that he had been given the cold shoulder the first time he came. His long and narrow phoenix eyes revealed a bitter smile when he saw Little Yuanzi come back dejectedly. However, there was a faint light hidden under the bitter smile. Although his martial arts were not as good as his two younger brothers, it was not difficult for him to deal with ordinary Jianghu heroes. The servant who opened the door knew that he was not simple. After closing the door, he did not even hear the sound of his footsteps leaving. Clearly, he was skilled in martial arts. This small Lan Mansion was indeed full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons.
"Big brother must have noticed it too. When I left the day before yesterday, I deliberately circled around the surroundings. Guess what I discovered in the end. It was a formation. If I rashly charged in, it would be very difficult to escape. Moreover, the servants in the residence all had steady auras and light footsteps. I have a feeling that if they deliberately concealed their auras, they would not be discovered.”Gu Moyan said after noticing his brother's gaze. His handsome face was in high spirits, and his peach blossom eyes shone with the light of an opponent.
"Oh, you mean those servants are killers or secret guards who are used to hiding?”Gu Moran raised her eyebrows and asked. Her red phoenix eyes were filled with an expression that said,"I've seen through you."
Gu Moyan was about to answer but suddenly stopped. The closed door was opened by Yan. He strode over to Gu Moran and was about to kneel but was stopped by the other party. Only then did the group enter the residence.
After entering the residence, even the ruler of a country, Gu Moran, was mesmerized by the scenery in the residence. Withered vines, old trees, crows, small bridges, flowing water, ancient roads, west winds, and thin horses. As the sun set, the heartbroken man was at the end of the world.
Although the location, season, and time were all wrong, looking at the Jiangnan scenery, Gu Moran couldn't help but think of this poem. If it was at dusk in autumn, wouldn't the first two sentences be fulfilled? However, winter naturally had its beauty. He really didn't expect that Miss Lan would dress her residence like this. If he didn't know her identity, he would really think that she was a gentle and graceful woman.
Under Yan's lead, the three of them came to the Yiran Residence where Gu Mo Xi lived. On the way, they saw some servants clearing the snow on the goose egg path. Gu Mo quietly observed and found that it was indeed as his third brother said, so he put the Lan Mansion in his heart.
Stepping into the warm room, Gu Moran took off her mink cloak and handed it to Little Yuanzi. Gu Moyan handed it to Yan. Ya-er bowed to them and calmly answered Gu Moran's question.
At this time, Gu Mo Xi, who was sleeping on the bed, suddenly screamed and got up. At the same time, she opened her closed phoenix eyes." Xi 'er!”
Gu Moran and Gu Moyan frowned at the same time when they heard their brother call out his name. Ya 'er lowered her head and hatred flashed in her eyes. She had stayed by His Highness' side the entire night, but the first person His Highness called out to when he woke up was another woman. All kinds of envy and jealousy rose in her heart, and her expression of wanting to eat someone up fell into the black cat's eyes.
"Second brother, you're awake. Are you feeling better?”Gu Moran sat on the edge of the bed and reached out to help him lie down.
"Yes, Second Brother. What do you think?”Gu Moyan also walked closer and asked worriedly, his peach blossom eyes flashing with warmth.
However, Gu Moxi ignored them. Her phoenix-like eyes swept across the room, her eager eyes seemingly searching for something. When she saw the black cat lying lazily on the table, her lips couldn't help but curl up. She pushed away her brother's hand and pulled the blanket off the bed. Ignoring her weak body, she walked to the table and carefully picked up the black cat with trembling hands. She stroked its soft fur with her fingers and her handsome face softened. She then lay back down under the urging of her brothers.
Gently covering the black cat with a satin blanket, Gu Mo Xi then looked up at the brothers who came to visit him. Her indifferent tone was kind," I've made Eldest Brother and Third Brother worry. I just caught a cold because I wasn't paying attention. I'll be fine after a few days of rest."”
Gu Moran looked at his satisfied second brother and felt helpless. She lowered her eyes and looked at the black cat that only showed its small head. She did not know how to persuade him. If she was not afraid of hurting the brotherhood, she would have already attacked the black cat. Was it too late now?
"Second Brother, you really made me worry all night. I wonder if those servants know how to serve people?”Gu Moyan, who had always been simple, believed everything he heard. If his second brother said it was fine, then it was fine. He let out a small complaint, but when he heard his second brother ask him to be quiet and not disturb the black cat, he felt aggrieved. Why did he feel that there was nothing more important than the black cat in his second brother's heart?
There was a moment of silence, and the room fell into silence until Butler Zhu came in with breakfast and medicine. He put down the tray in his hand and bowed to Gu Moran and the others. Butler Zhu brought porridge and said to Gu Mo Xi," Your Highness must be hungry after sleeping for the whole night. Have some breakfast first before drinking medicine."”
Gu Moxi nodded and was about to get up. Gu Moran quickly went over to help her up and took the porridge from Housekeeper Zhu's hands. She took a sip and suddenly asked," Housekeeper Zhu, did you prepare Xi 'er's breakfast?"”
"Hmph, do we need to specially prepare a beast?”Ya-er, who had been silent all this while, suddenly opened her mouth to mock him. Her tone was very bad, but she heard an ice-cold " get lost ". She looked up at Gu Moxi in shock, as if she didn't expect him to be so cold.
His beloved daughter had angered his highness. Housekeeper Zhu hurriedly bowed and begged for mercy." Your highness, please calm down. This old servant did not teach my daughter well. This old servant will take her out now."”
Gu Moxi snorted and did not say anything else. In his opinion, it was not too much to do anything for Xi 'er. Besides, Ya' er had evil intentions. He could take this opportunity to prevent her from entering the house again. Moreover, when he woke up, he saw that Xi 'er was happy. How could he tolerate any bad comments about her? The smile on his lips deepened.
Ya 'er was dragged out of the house by Housekeeper Zhu. Gu Moyan and Gu Moran found their seats and sat down. They looked at their brother who was lying on the bed with happiness in his eyes. When they saw him lying down, they leaned close to the black cat and called it softly,"Xi' er, Xi 'er, wake up. Eat something before you sleep, Xi' er ~"
Disgust, this coquettish voice was made by Gu Moxi? The two brothers rubbed their arms.
The black cat opened its eyes unwillingly. There was a thin layer of mist in its dark eyes, and it was obvious that it was not awake yet. Hearing the soft voice above its head that was comparable to the demonic sound, it could not help but get angry. It opened its mouth and bit the finger beside it. Immediately, it tasted blood.
Gu Moxi didn't even frown when her finger was bitten. Instead, she complained," Xi 'er is so naughty. She either scratched or bit me. Stop biting me. Aren't you afraid of a toothache? Come, eat something before you sleep."”
Hearing this, the two brothers sitting at the side were shocked and petrified. What kind of knockout powder did this black cat feed Gu Moxi? She didn't care about being scratched and bitten, but she was still worried that it would have a toothache. Speaking of which, how hard were your fingers?
The black cat opened its mouth but ignored the porridge. It looked at Gu Mo Xi as if she was an idiot, then turned its head and continued to sleep. Its meaty paws covered its inverted triangular cat ears to isolate the magic sound.
The two stone statues continued to listen to Gu Mo Xi coaxing the cat. That " I beg you " really made their hair stand on end!!
