Chapter 658 Opening the Back Door
The old man's desire to survive suddenly exploded. He felt that he couldn't die so soon. He had to live a few more days to torment this ignorant guy in front of him.
Liu Ji licked his face and said, "It's better to eat well before going on the road, teacher, don't you agree?"
Gong Liangliao said elegantly: "Go away."
"Okay, then I'll come back in a few days." Liu Ji grinned, quickly picked up the empty bowls, and jumped out of the back window with the snack box.
Qin Yao glanced into the window and saw Gong Liangliao rubbing his head, looking like he had a headache because of his disciple's anger.
She shrugged, closed the window, and left with Liu Ji, whose smile disappeared in an instant.
After leaving the Imperial Master's Mansion and walking to the center of the crowd, Qin Yao noticed that someone was getting more and more depressed, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy to see the master today?"
Liu Ji tilted his head to glance at her and said sadly, "The teacher told me to get out."
Qin Yao asked tentatively: "Are you feeling wronged?"
Liu Ji shook his head. What was wrong with this? He was just sad. "My dear, do you know that the teacher won't live much longer?"
Qin Yao nodded. She had guessed it long ago. The room was filled with a rotten smell that could not be covered up by the incense and medicine.
Liu Ji pursed his lips and said, "Teacher's leg is still in serious trouble."
Qin Yao hummed, "Medical facilities are limited. It is difficult to heal wounds after amputation. And with his age, it is almost impossible for him to heal on his own."
Liu Ji felt a lump in his throat and he sniffed hard to hold back the moisture in his eyes, then fell silent again.
Qin Yao didn't say anything else. The couple walked home in silence. Halfway through the journey, Liu Ji suddenly yelled, which startled Qin Yao. She punched him hard on the shoulder, "Why are you yelling? Are you sick?"
Liu Ji sucked in a breath of cold air while excitedly pulling Qin Yao into the alley, "I understand, my lady, I understand, I know why the teacher doesn't allow me to go to the Imperial Master's Mansion."
Qin Yao looked like she wanted to kill someone, "Speak."
Liu Ji seemed to not sense any murderous intent, and leaned close to her ear and said in a shocked and frightened tone:
"We must have been discovered by the people in the Imperial Master's Mansion. That's why the teacher forbade me to visit him again. If we go again tomorrow, we will definitely fall into the trap set by the Imperial Master!"
Qin Yao listened with a blank expression, "That's it?"
"Yeah, that's it." Liu Ji finally realized that his wife's reaction to kissing her was not normal, and asked suspiciously:
"Aren't you surprised? Aren't you afraid? He is a favorite of His Majesty, a national teacher respected by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Qin Yao calmly walked out of the alley, mockingly saying, "You just discovered it."
Liu Ji paused. Wait, what does that mean? What do you mean by just discovered? Should he have discovered it long ago?
Seeing that the person was about to go far away, Liu Ji came to his senses and quickly ran after him, asking in horror: "Madam, do you mean that we have been discovered a long time ago?"
Qin Yao nodded, "You are not too stupid."
"Don't you think that we have been too successful in finding the master these days?"
Moreover, even though they had been exposed as maids, the defense of Puyuan did not change at all, and the two servants were not replaced. It was simply too abnormal.
Qin Yao still remembered that when she first went to the Imperial Master's Mansion, two servants were immediately dragged away because Gong Liangliao choked on his porridge.
Now someone who didn't know the details had gotten close to the master and was feeding him food. This was such a huge negligence, and the servant was not hurt at all.
There must be something wrong when things are abnormal, but Qin Yao was too lazy to guess the twists and turns behind it, so she pretended to be confused and continued to take Liu Ji to see the teacher every day.
It was obvious that the other party did it on purpose. Since everyone wanted Gong Liangliao to eat and get better, why bother to say it out loud?
Liu Ji nodded wildly, "I felt that, I felt that too much, it was so smooth that I was a little scared, but then I thought, my lady, you are so capable, it is normal for it to be smooth, and I felt that I was overthinking it."
"After all, my lady, I am very confident in your ability." He did not forget to make a joke.
Qin Yao sneered and said nothing.
Just said: "Mr. still loves you."
Gong Liangliao had probably seen through it a long time ago, and the reason he was willing to cooperate was probably just because he didn't want Liu Ji to be in danger.
Of course, it is not ruled out that he is indeed hungry.
But the people who gave them a break might change their attitude one day, so they should quit while they are ahead.
You never know when you’ll go in and not be able to get out.
"Listen to your teacher and don't go for the next few days. Let's see how things go."
Qin Yao teasingly grabbed a handful of Liu Ji's hair that was scattered on his shoulders, and when he turned around in shock, she said with a smile:
"I think you've made Mr. want to live. He should cooperate with you in eating and taking medicine. You and I can relax for the time being and do our own things."
Liu Ji coughed twice to hide his embarrassment. He didn't mean to anger his master. He asked curiously, "Madam, who do you think opened the back door for us?"
Could it be the one he was thinking of?
Qin Yao nodded at him, that's the one you were thinking of.
Liu Ji was confused, "No, why did he do that?"
"Who knows him?"
Qin Yao shrugged, called the vendor selling candied haws, and bought eight at once, so that everyone in the family of eight could get one.
At the same time, inside Puyuan.
As soon as Qin Yao and his wife left, a voice came from outside the courtyard door: "Master Imperial Master, you are here."
Gong Liangliao, who was leaning against the head of the bed rubbing his temples because his head hurt due to his anger at his little apprentice, suddenly became gloomy.
Soon, the door was pushed open, and the dazzling sunlight shone in. Si Kongjian strode in wearing a black robe and asked with a smile, "Teacher, are you feeling better?"
I raised my nose slightly and smelled the lingering mung bean fragrance in the air. My eyebrows raised, and it came as expected.
Looking at Gong Liangliao lying on the bed, whose complexion was obviously much better, Sikong Jian sneered in his heart: I really underestimated that country bumpkin!
Sikong Jian had expected someone to come, but he didn't know when they would come, so he deliberately left a loophole to make it easier for them to come in.
He did this, firstly, so that the teacher could cooperate with him in taking medicine and eating, and recover.
After all, if people have something to look forward to, they will want to live, right?
Secondly, it was to test the strength of the village woman who made Bai He shudder at the mention of her.
Facts have proved that the village woman who made Bai He shudder at the mention of her is indeed terrifyingly powerful.
For several days in a row, the guards of the entire Imperial Master's Mansion, plus the five imperial guards, did not notice when the couple entered the Imperial Master's Mansion.
Every time, she would come to report to him after everyone had left that there was a smell of other food in the master's room.
With such strength, Si Kong Jian felt his scalp tingling just thinking about it.
If this woman wants to kill him tonight, then won't he never see the sun tomorrow?
So he urgently stopped the stupid act of opening the back door and came here in person to see if he could find any loopholes.
As expected, everyone had left long ago, leaving only Gong Liangliao in the room, who was troubled by his young apprentice.
