Chapter 129: Telepathy
Mu Junyan led the two hundred black-armored guards who followed him back to the capital and rushed all the way until it was dark.
We chose a secluded mountain village to set up camp and rest.
Mu Junyan was looking at the letter that Chi Yan had sent by carrier pigeon in the tent. After reading the contents, he frowned slightly.
"Akabane, did you find any traces of spies from Southern Xinjiang in Yichunyuan?"
"Yes." Akabane was helping him sort out his armor. Upon hearing this, he put down his work and walked over.
"Chi Yan found out that the silver-faced man is the adopted son of the leader of the Nanjiang Yifeng Hall. They all call him Young Master."
Akabane was shocked: "So the people in Xinghua Theater are spies from Southern Xinjiang?"
Mu Junyan narrowed his eyes slightly and had a bad feeling in his heart.
"This time the alliance of the southern border countries attacked our border, and their spies have already penetrated deep into Bianjing. It seems that this is not a simple matter."
Akabane's face turned serious: "My Lord, what you mean is that they are making a feint to the east and attacking in the west?"
"It's possible." Mu Junyan placed the letter under the candlelight and burned it.
Mu Junyan looked at the ashes in the copper basin, thought for a moment, then called Chiyu over and whispered instructions.
Chiyu immediately shook his head: "How can that be possible? Neither I nor Chiyan are with the Lord."
"Military orders."
Mu Junyan looked over with cold eyes and Chiyu hurried away.
He thought about it, walked to the desk, picked up a pen, wrote a letter to Gu Huan, sealed it with wax, and handed it to the guard.
…
When Gu Huan woke up from her lunch break, it was already early afternoon.
Dong Qing quickly got up and walked in when he heard the voice. "Madam, are you awake?"
"Yeah. Has Chiyan come back?"
"I'm back. I've been waiting at Lanyue Pavilion."
Gu Huan was overjoyed: "He came back alone?"
"I brought a bunch of people." Dongqing combed her hair and put on makeup for her.
Soon, after finishing dressing, Donghua came in holding a bowl of medicine, "Madam has woken up. It just so happens that Miss Shen has made some medicine for you to drink."
Gu Huan frowned when she smelled the Chinese medicine: "I'm not sick."
"Miss Shen said that you need to take care of your health and wait for the master to come back. The whole mansion is waiting for a young master."
Gu Huan didn't expect her to say this. Her face turned red and she reached out to tickle her.
"Bad girl, don't be ashamed."
Donghua quickly put down the medicine bowl and chuckled, "What's there to be ashamed of? You are the wife of our Duke's Mansion."
Gu Hua's face was burning, but...
Mu Junyan is about to die in battle.
Thinking of this, my eyes turned red.
Is it possible to change the trajectory of the past life?
But in her previous life, she was a bird in a cage, knowing nothing, especially government affairs and wars.
Gu Huan was worried.
“Drink it while it’s hot, or Miss Shen will feed you herself.”
Gu Huan felt threatened, so she picked up the bowl of medicine and drank it in one gulp.
Well, it's not too bad, a little sweet.
In a dark room in the back room, Nanny Lu was tied up and her mouth was stuffed with a cloth strip.
Gu Huan came slowly, surrounded by people like the moon surrounded by stars.
The door was pushed open and the guards dragged the person out of the small dark room.
Gu Huan sat upright on the armchair and looked at her.
Nanny Lu knew that she could not escape the death penalty, so she just became tough and stiffened her neck and didn't look at her.
Gu Huan didn't say anything. She waved her hand and Donghua led the maids and old women to bring up a table, and then served a table full of dishes.
Nanny Lu had been hungry for a day and a night. When she smelled the fragrance, she couldn't help but turn her head to look.
"Are you hungry?" Gu Huan asked softly.
Nanny Lu glared at her fiercely.
Gu Huan smiled and said, "Well, Madam Lu has something to say. I also have something to ask."
The guard took the cloth out of her mouth, and Madam Lu couldn't close her mouth for a long time.
"Madam Lu, what kind of poison did you and Pei give my mother? Tell me, and you can enjoy this table of delicacies."
"This was done by me alone. It has nothing to do with you, Auntie."
Gu Huan sneered: "Wow, what a tough and good dog."
She nodded to Chi Yan.
Chi Yan brought in a group of people, young and old, from outside the door.
When Madam Lu saw the person coming, she was immediately terrified and struggled hard. The guards who were holding her down were so strong that she couldn't move at all.
"Fu'er! Douhua! Old man, old man, you, you..."
Young and old were all in panic, and the younger ones burst into tears when they saw Madam Lu.
"Mother, mother, save us."
Madam Lu swept away her previous stubbornness and begged, "Second Miss, Second Miss, why did you arrest them? I was the one who poisoned them, it has nothing to do with them."
"You were the one who poisoned me, but Pei was the one who gave the order."
Gu Huan smiled harmlessly: "Every wrong has its perpetrator. Pei's crime is not enough for her to die a hundred times, and you are her biggest accomplice. How many times do you think you have to die to be satisfied?"
Nanny Lu felt that the person in front of her was not the Second Young Lady, but a demon who came for revenge.
"It's all my fault. I accept the punishment. You can do whatever you want to calm down, Second Miss."
"Even if I beat you to death, it's just one life. How can you pay for all the sins you've committed?"
Gu Huan's smile did not reach her eyes.
But she had such a harmless face, and her cold words made people even more scared.
Nanny Lu looked at her in a daze, not knowing what she was going to do.
Gu Huan pointed at a table full of food and wine: "I'm hosting a special banquet today to treat your family to a meal. It's all delicacies from land and sea. I can't eat them on weekdays."
Nanny Lu didn't know what she was up to, but she had no other choice.
She watched helplessly as the guards forced her family, young and old, to sit around the table and forced them to eat. The young and old did not dare to disobey and had to eat.
What’s more, they were all top-notch delicacies from land and sea. The children immediately forgot their fear and started eating happily.
Nanny Lu, who had done so many evil things, was so frightened that her heart was in her throat.
Before she could shout "Don't eat it, it's poisonous", Gu Huan's voice floated over.
"Yes, it was poisoned."
The adults who were eating were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They didn't dare to spit or swallow.
The children were unaware and continued to eat like crazy. Their parents slapped them in the face, but they didn't dare to say anything and could only stare at them. The children were so scared that they didn't dare to eat anymore and didn't know what was going on.
Gu Huan has never been a bad person in both of her lives.
This trick was taught to her by Chi Yan.
Gu Huan smiled and said, "I just want Madam Lu to tell me what kind of poison you put in my mother? There are seven or eight kinds of poison in the food. They were all found by my guards. They are very good at it."
Nanny Lu was almost frightened to death, and she banged her head on the ground while crying.
"I beg you, please save my family first. They are innocent."
"Innocent?" Gu Huan's smile disappeared.
"Madame Lu's monthly allowance is two taels of silver. Your husband and two sons work in Pei's dowry shop, and their monthly allowances add up to only four or five taels. But you have bought two farms and three large courtyards, and you live better than the average official family. Didn't you get your money by doing evil for Pei?"
"Do you want to go to hell alone or take your whole family with you? It's up to you."
Nanny Lu's forehead was bleeding. She looked at the whole family, young and old, and everyone was terrified.
"I said it was the Zuilihong that I bought from Yichunyuan."
Gu Huan looked at Chi Yan: "Have you ever heard of it?"
Chi Yan nodded. "It is often used by brothels to control disobedient girls. It can cause depression and headaches at first. If taken for a long time or in large doses, the internal organs will be damaged and bleeding will occur. The symptoms are a bit like those of the red-crowned crane. But because the poison is extremely concentrated and made with strong liquor, if someone checks it, it is often mistaken for poisoning by ingesting strong liquor."
Gu Huan felt a chill in her heart.
So vicious!
Gu Huan smiled and said, "Where is the detailed account book of Pei's dowry and the personnel details of each shop?"
How could Madam Lu dare to keep anything to herself? She just spilled the beans.
Gu Huan glanced at Chi Yan, and he immediately understood.
These things are the support of Wenchang Marquis Mansion.
"Do you have any more Zuilihong?"
Madam Lu cried, "Yes, I didn't poison Madam enough, and after I was discovered, I didn't dare to use it again. There is still a whole bottle in the secret compartment at the bottom of the closet in my room."
"good."
Gu Huan stood up and smiled gently and harmlessly: "There is no poison in the food on this table, so don't waste it."
When Nanny Lu was untied, the whole family hugged each other and cried bitterly.
Gu Huan walked out of the small door with a smile on her face.
"Can you get them all back tonight?"
Gu Huan looked at Chi Yan.
"Don't worry, ma'am."
This kind of thing is a piece of cake for Chi Yan.
As soon as Gu Huan came out of the back room, Dong Mo ran over.
"I can find you."
Seeing his forehead covered in sweat, Gu Huan became nervous subconsciously: "What's wrong? What's wrong with the master?"
Dong Mo was stunned: "Hey, how do you know that the master has sent you a letter?"
"This is what they call a stream in the heart, hehe." Donghua shook her head.
Dong Qing patted her forehead and said, "We are so close, it's the sea, what's the stream?"
Donghua rubbed his forehead and said, "I understand. The master only has his wife in his heart."
Gu Huan's heart was at ease, and she was overjoyed when she realized what was happening: "A letter? So soon? Are they in Southern Xinjiang?"
Dong Mo handed the letter over with a smile: "How can that be possible? It's on the way."
Gu Huan blushed as everyone looked at her. She took the letter and complained deliberately, "Isn't it scary to receive a letter before it arrives?"
