Wei Yunlan recalled the black hem of clothing she saw before she lost consciousness, and the low voice “Miss Wei” she heard in a daze.
Is that the Guard Xiao that my father mentioned?
Once I can get up, I should thank him in person.
"Don't worry about these things for now." Wei Maolin said, "Doctor Yu said that your illness is because you worry too much and think too much. Now Mingxuan has been found, you can rest and rest, your parents will take care of the rest."
"Yes, sister, you must take good care of your health."
Wei Mingxuan said fearfully: "You don't know how scared we were these past few days, fearing that you would not wake up from this sleep..."
"Pfft, pfft, what a crow's mouth." Gao rarely said something that was not so elegant. She even patted Wei Mingxuan on the arm. "It's a happy day, what nonsense are you talking about."
Worried that Wei Yunlan had just woken up and might be exhausted after talking for a long time, the Wei family did not stay in the house for too long.
Only Gao stayed behind, watching Wei Yunlan finish drinking the medicine and lying down again, still sitting on the round stool beside her and watching over her.
Perhaps it was because he had slept too long the previous time, even though his body still felt weak, Wei Yunlan couldn't fall asleep after closing his eyes.
He suddenly opened his eyes and called out, "Mom?"
"What's wrong?" Gao looked over immediately with concern, "Are you feeling unwell?"
"No. I wanted to ask you...about my great-grandfather."
Gao was stunned for a moment, then handed the empty medicine bowl to Guixiang who was standing by, and asked her to leave before she spoke, "Lan'er, ask."
"Do you know the origin of the black cloud?"
When Heiyun heard Wei Yunlan say his name, he raised his head, which was resting on the edge of the bed.
"I remember the year I got married, I saw my grandfather raising a black dog. I can't remember what it was called, but I only remember that the dog was only raised for a few years and I never saw it again."
Looking at Heiyun, Gao fell into deep thought, and then asked: "Could Heiyun be the descendant of that black dog?"
No wonder he is so capable and willing to protect Lan'er.
"Do you remember when you last saw the black dog? Was it around the time I was born?"
Gao frowned and thought for a moment, with a hint of surprise in her eyes, "Lan'er, how did you know?"
Of course it’s because Heiyun is the black dog!
Around the time she was born, the space underwent a drastic change and the black clouds fell into a deep sleep.
So her previous speculations were all correct.
The late emperor was indeed a wise ruler who loved his people like his own children, and my great-grandfather was also a selfless person who cared about the people. They made great contributions to Dayong.
But she didn't know the meaning of this ancient jade left to her by her great-grandfather.
Did he calculate that she was destined to have this disaster, and leave her a chance to change her fate?
"Mom, did my great-grandfather leave anything behind when he was alive? Like manuscripts or something?" Wei Yunlan wanted to know more about this space and her great-grandfather.
"When your great-grandfather was alive, he often lived in Xiantai Mountain. There weren't many things left in the Tianshi Mansion. After your grandfather passed away, the Tianshi Mansion was taken back by the emperor. I ordered people to move all the things in the original mansion back to our house, but..."
Before Gao finished speaking, Wei Yunlan knew what she was going to say.
But now, the Wei family’s door has been sealed, and those things are also sealed inside.
Wei Yunlan suppressed the urgency in his heart.
This matter cannot be rushed, but when she has the chance to return to the capital, she must find a way to sneak into the Wei Mansion and put all the things her mother has hidden into the space.
…
"Is Miss Wei okay?" Seeing Wei Yunlan appear in front of him with a rosy face, Yu Qi revealed a faint smile on the corner of his stern mouth.
"Everything is fine." Except for a whip mark on his leg, everything else was fine. Looking at Yu Qi's arm that was still wrapped in gauze, Wei Yunlan asked with concern, "How is Captain Yu's injury now?"
"No bones are injured. You will be able to move normally in a few days." Yu Qi didn't care about these flesh injuries. As long as the muscles and bones were not injured, he didn't even need to rest specially.
"You still need to take good care of yourself." Wei Yunlan said, "I heard that a guard named Xiao saved me that day. I haven't had time to thank him yet. I wonder if Guard Xiao is here now?"
Guard Xiao...?
Upon hearing the title, Yu Qi almost didn't react. He was stunned for a moment before he remembered that the late queen's surname was Xiao, and this "Guard Xiao" was the new code name for his master.
"Miss Wei wants to see you now?"
"Is it convenient?" Wei Yunlan asked politely.
"Let me go in and ask." The master was really in the yard now. Not long after Yu Qi went in, there were two more people behind him when he came out.
They all look unfamiliar.
The taller one had an ordinary look, as if he had no memorable features, while the one who was half a head shorter had a simple and honest face.
"This is Guard Xiao... and Guard Feng." Yu Qi introduced Wei Yunlan.
The taller one is Guard Xiao. Wei Yunlan's eyes fell on his face and subconsciously felt that this face was somewhat inconsistent with the voice he heard that day.
This face doesn't seem to match that voice.
But it was a bit impolite to think so, especially since the other party had saved him before. Wei Yunlan despised himself in his heart and called him "superficial". Then he quickly clasped his hands and saluted the tall guard Xiao, saying, "Mr. Xiao, thank you for saving me before."
Qi Xu had heard so many names like "Guard Xiao" and "Mr. Xiao" in the past two days that he had already accepted them. It had to be said that the surname "Xiao" sounded much more pleasant than "Qi".
"No need to do that, just do it as it comes. Besides, Miss Wei is a regular customer of our Tianshu Pavilion."
“…”
Yes, twenty-five thousand taels of silver.
However, the money was well spent. Wei Yunlan did not expect that Tianshu Pavilion would send new people to fill the gaps after someone was injured.
"Thank you very much, Pavilion Master. Unfortunately, I cannot thank you in person. I would like to trouble you to pass on the message."
"Okay, we'll pass it on for you."
Yu Qi and Feng Ping looked at each other, and they couldn't help but glance at the "Guard Xiao" next to them.
Wei Gu forwarded the message. It has already been passed on.
"Oh, right." Wei Yunlan remembered what he had asked Yu Qi when he went up the mountain a few days ago.
He asked with some expectation: "I wonder if your Pavilion Master has agreed to my martial arts training?"
"This..." Yu Qi hesitated.
She did relay Miss Wei's request, but her master did not tell her the reply.
Pointing to his injured arm, Yu Qi explained, "I have been recovering from my injury these past two days, and Guard Xiao has been in contact with the master."
Wei Yunlan's expectant eyes fell on Qi Xu, "What is your master's reply?"
Yu Qi, Feng Ping, and the other Tianshu Pavilion guards in the courtyard all turned their eyes to Qi Xu.
Master, I’m asking you!
Qi Xu ignored the teasing in everyone's eyes and nodded to Wei Yunlan, saying, "I can teach you. Yu Qi is injured and it's inconvenient for him to teach you first."
