Chapter 154 Something Big is Going to Happen
The old lady and Zhou Zhilan surrounded Gu Huan's bed. She had been unconscious for more than an hour.
Seeing that the old lady didn't look very well, Zhou Zhilan advised: "Old lady, why don't you go back and rest, I'll take care of her."
Yi Niang also advised: "Old Madam, you must take care of yourself, otherwise when Madam wakes up and sees you looking haggard, she will be worried again."
The old lady's eyes were red. "It's my fault. I knew she was weak and timid, but I still allowed her to use herself as bait. They are the extremely vicious Yifengtang."
Zhou Zhilan knew that Gu Huan didn’t faint because of this, but she couldn’t say it.
I can only persuade her: "Madam is very strong and courageous now. It's because she is too tired these days. Just take a good rest."
"Yes, old lady, once the lady wakes up and you have rested, we can discuss the next step."
The old lady sighed, "Okay. Report to me as soon as she wakes up."
Gu Huan was in a daze and didn't know where she was.
"Sister Huan."
A gentle voice sounded from behind, and Gu Huan turned around suddenly.
Before my eyes was a dense forest shrouded in mist, and a slender figure was vaguely visible.
"Brother Ji! Is that you? Brother Ji?"
Gu Huan hurriedly chased after him.
The figure suddenly disappeared.
Gu Huan cried anxiously: "Brother Ji, please come out quickly. If you are not dead, why haven't you come to see Huan'er for three years?"
"Sister Huan."
A soft and laughing voice came from the fog.
Gu Huan lifted her skirt and hurried after him.
The wind whistled in her ears, and the messy branches caught on her skirt and scratched her skin, but she didn't care at all.
Suddenly, the view in front of me became clear and the fog in the forest disappeared.
On the top of the mountain, a man stood with his back to her.
"Brother Ji!" Gu Huan ran out of breath and her heart was about to jump out.
The man slowly turned back.
That face... was wearing half a silver mask.
Gu Huan's steps that were about to run over paused, her heart stagnated, her hands unconsciously clutched the collar of her shirt on her chest, her lips trembled, and she was unable to speak for a long time.
"Sister Huan, you are here?" The man's eyes were warm and tender.
Gu Huan asked with a trembling voice, "Are you Brother Ji?"
"Yes, I am."
The man curled his lips into a soft smile.
He slowly stretched out his hand: "I will take you away, take you away from the fire pit of Gu Mansion, I will take you far away.
"Would you like to?"
Something sharp pierced into Gu Huan's heart, causing her to feel unbearable pain, and her internal organs were tangled together.
She held her chest tightly, feeling so heartbroken that she couldn't utter a word.
Seeing that she didn't move, the man's smile faded and his voice became sad: "Are you unwilling? Don't you want me anymore?"
Gu Huan could no longer control herself and burst into tears. She felt such pain in her heart that she could not stand. She bent over and cried.
"Brother Ji, why are you the young master of Yifengtang? Why did you betray your country and become a spy in Southern Xinjiang? Brother Ji, what's wrong with you?"
The man's smile suddenly disappeared, and his gentle jade eyes suddenly turned red.
"You betrayed me, didn't you? You fell in love with someone else, didn't you?"
He suddenly opened his arms: "Then I'd better die!"
"No, Brother Ji, it's not like that."
Gu Huan straightened up in panic and rushed towards the man.
There was a bottomless abyss under his feet. Seeing her approaching, he turned around and leaped into the sky like a soaring bird.
Gu Huan rushed over frantically, stretched out her hands to grab him, and screamed sharply: "No!"
"Sister Huan."
Zhou Zhilan was startled when Gu Huan suddenly sat up.
"Go call the court doctor."
Donghua ran away.
Zhou Zhilan used her handkerchief to wipe Gu Huan's sweat and coaxed her softly, "Don't be afraid, you had a nightmare, didn't you? It's okay now."
Gu Huan looked at her blankly, and it took her a while to come to her senses.
My eyes were filled with tears and I couldn't see anything clearly.
She bit her lip tightly, the dream just now kept circling in her mind.
The scene in which Brother Ji jumped off the cliff in front of her made her heart ache.
Zhou Zhilan knew why she was sad, but she didn't dare to touch her sad spot easily.
She was also in a difficult situation.
Gu Huan’s childhood sweetheart is back, what should the master do?
"Have they... caught the person?" Gu Huan looked at Zhou Zhilan with tears in her eyes.
She was there just now and she knew Ji Xuanyu.
"We caught a few people, but unfortunately they all committed suicide on the spot."
Zhou Zhilan looked at the nervous Gu Huan and hesitated for a moment.
"That young master was not caught."
Gu Huan's heart relaxed a little, but when she thought that he was Brother Ji, her heart was gripped again.
Zhou Zhilan wanted to comfort her: "Sister Huan, you have been apart for so many years, people will change."
Gu Huan wanted to speak, but her heart ached so much as if something was blocking it, and she couldn't say anything.
After Gu Huan calmed down, she thought about it carefully and said, "Actually, I'm not sure if Yaoyao lied to me. Because Brother Ji's face doesn't look like her anymore."
Zhou Zhilan thought for a moment and said, "It's possible that Yaoyao wants to sow discord."
"But how did she know that?"
"Could it be that Gu Wanru told her?"
Gu Huan was thinking when she heard footsteps outside.
"I have something important to see my wife about. Why won't you let me see her?"
Donghua's voice: "Madam is not feeling well. Please come back tomorrow if you have anything to ask."
Gu Huan wiped away her tears: "It's Jasper."
Zhou Zhilan stretched her head and looked out: "It's Jade."
Unless Biyu has something important to tell her, she won't come to her easily.
Gu Huan and the old lady kept their plan to lure the snake out of its hole a secret, and other people who were not involved were completely unaware of it.
When Biyu hurried over, she found something wrong. There were many guards guarding outside. Donghua, Dongqing, and several maids were guarding the door with serious expressions.
Biyu's face turned pale and she asked in a low voice, "What happened? Is Madam okay?"
Donghua and the others would not say a word unless the lady gave any instructions.
"Biyu, come in." Zhou Zhilan walked to the window.
Donghua then pushed the door open and let her in.
Biyu came in and was shocked when she saw Gu Huan’s red and swollen eyes.
"What's going on? What happened?"
Gu Huan calmed herself down and said in a hoarse voice, "It's okay. Tell me what you want to say."
Biyu walked to the bedside and lowered her voice and said, "This morning I heard Master and Yaoyao talking about intercepting the military rations of the Mu family army."
Gu Huan grabbed Biyu's hand, and her hands began to tremble nervously: "Mu An said so!"
How dare he, such a heartless person, harm Mu Junyan who raised him?
Jade snorted.
"Yaoyao said that the young master wanted to do something big, saying that the young master did not do a good job with the winter clothing, so he had to make amends, and then Mu An gave her a route map for delivering military rations or something like that."
Gu Huan was so angry that her face turned pale.
It is not enough to tamper with winter clothes, we also need to make changes to military rations.
This is to beat the Mu family army to death.
No wonder…
Gu Huan's eyes suddenly widened.
Could it be that Mu Junyan’s death in battle was related to the lack of winter clothes and food supplies?
Winter is coming soon, and southern Xinjiang is colder than here.
The soldiers will be hungry and cold, and their fighting capacity will surely be weakened!
Zhou Zhilan was extremely shocked: "Then why didn't you say so earlier?"
"I can't leave. Yaoyao made the master angry and he kicked me out of the room. He then tormented me and only let me go just now."
Jade's eyes turned red.
Gu Huan suddenly noticed bruises on the back of her hand, so she quickly let go of her hand and rolled up her sleeves.
The entire arm was either burned or bruised.
She hurt Biyu when she grabbed her just now.
Gu Huan was so angry that she cursed, "Beast!"
Zhou Zhilan felt distressed when she saw this and quickly told Donghua to call the court doctor.
Biyu hurriedly shouted, "Don't shout, the master will find out. I'll go back and apply some medicine and it will be fine."
She stood up quickly: "It's okay, I have to go back so as not to be discovered."
"Biyu." Gu Huan called out hurriedly, "Don't go back."
Biyu looked at her and said, "It's okay. The military rations issue is a big deal. I'll keep an eye on it."
Gu Huan watched her slender figure staggering away into the night, and clenched her fists in anger.
"Sister Zhilan, can you think of a way to protect her? Don't let her get hurt again."
Zhou Zhilan patted her on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I'll do it."
Gu Huan lifted the quilt and tried to get out of bed, but was stopped by Zhou Zhilan.
"Where are you going?"
"I need to discuss this with my mother. This is a huge matter!"
