Gu Xiyan sat on the toilet and continued to stumble.

A girl's clear voice suddenly came from outside: "Aunt Duan, Deacon Ding is asking for a meeting!"

"What are he doing?" Duan Niang's voice was tense, as if she was very unhappy to see this person, "Just say the second girl has already fallen asleep."

"I said it. But Deacon Ding said that if the girl goes to bed, she will make her aunt scream, saying that Master Shengjing has been sending a message."

Duan Niang was silent for a while, suddenly turned into the screen and appeared in front of Gu Xiyan. She looked at Gu Xiyan with a strange expression, and wanted to say something, "Second Miss..."

Gu Xiyan sighed in her heart.

Deacon Ding is the one who wants to sell the disobedient girl! He doesn’t know anything, what should he do when he sees it?

Gu Xiyan stroked her forehead with a headache and said, "You said I was sleeping and couldn't wake up." She looked evasive.

Duan Niang looked at her for a while, then said "Yes".

Not long after Duan Niang went out, Gu Xiyan heard a quarrel.

"The second girl was fine two days ago. Why did she get sick if she says she is sick? You have to make it clear..." She was a man, and she seemed to be young when she heard her voice.

"I have been in the Gu family for almost twenty years. Will I still lie to you?" There was a hint of contempt in my voice, which was Duan Niang's voice.

"Since that's the case, why don't you dare to hand over someone!"

"How did you learn the rules? The girl went to bed, and the servants couldn't scream!"

"I'm going to bed. I think there is something wrong with you, right? Don't think I don't know what happened to that corpse?"

"You, what are you talking nonsense?" Duan Niang's voice was very panicked, and she knew that it was trying to cover up the truth at the first time.

Gu Xiyan felt nervous when she heard this and raised her head in panic.

The little girl who had been waiting for her all the time comforting her and said, "Miss Second, don't be afraid. My aunt Duan and I have moved her to Heming Hall. Can't Deacon Ding find out?"

Gu Xiyan nervously held the girl's hand: "What corpse? Why don't I know?"

The little girl showed a sudden enlightenment expression and shook her head in panic: "I didn't say anything, I didn't say anything!"

Gu Xiyan immediately wiped her hands and stood up, saying, "You ask Deacon Ding to come in!"

But the little girl knelt in front of Gu Xiyan with a "barrassment" and said, "Miss Second, don't believe that Deacon Ding, he is uneasy, he is the wife's family..."

Gu Xiyan thought about it, and said with a stern face, "Tell me what's going on, I'll believe you for the time being."

The little girl murmured for a long time before she said intermittently: "That day, the second girl and Duan ran out angry, so we went around to find it. In the second half of the night, we finally found the girl in the camphor forest next to the Qifu Tower of the Houguan Houguan... But there was another person next to the girl, wearing a robe dress... I was so scared that I had to find Aunt Duan... Aunt Duan said this was too strange, I was afraid that there was a story in it, so I told us not to make a sound and carry the body back... The girl was unconscious, and the doctor in Qixia Temple went in and out of the room. Aunt Duan was afraid that someone would see it, so she moved the girl to Heming Hall with Talang last night..."

Gu Xiyan asked in a mess: "Is Heming Palace safe?"

The little girl nodded and said, "This is the place where Qixia Temple specially worships the coffin for pilgrims. She gave Jimin a 200 tael of silver in the indulgent oil money... and she also specifically instructed her to hand it over to the owner..."

Gu Xiyan's heart gradually had a look of eyebrows. She walked out of the screen, and the little girl followed her and murmured: "Miss Second, you promised me..."

The quarrel outside seemed to have stopped. Gu Xiyan walked out of the house and found that there was a main hall outside. The bamboo curtains hanging on the main hall door were purple spots, as if they were made of Xiangfei bamboo. Through the bamboo curtains, you can see that there was a small courtyard outside. There was a wisteria planted in the middle of the yard, with oil-green branches and leaves, and a full of white jade-like flowers, and the fragrance of flowers was overflowing in the air.

When Gu Xiyan looked out, she happened to see a thin and tall man stepping out of the gate of the courtyard, while Duan Niang walked towards the hall with anger on her face.

She quickly returned to the house, and the little girl next to her followed her back to the house without any hesitation. Gu Xiyan chose a chair by the window and sat down. As soon as Duan Niang came in, Gu Xiyan looked at Duan Niang with sharp eyes and said straight to the point: "Take me to Heming Palace, I want to see the girl's body!"

Duan Niang was shocked and glanced at the little girl beside Gu Xiyan with a sharp look.

Gu Xiyan obviously felt the little girl tremble with fear.

Duan Niang said with a kind face: "It's getting late, let's go tomorrow!"

I sneered: "If Aunt Duan doesn't have time, then I'll go to Deacon Ding."

The blue veins on Duan Niang's fair forehead were clearly visible, and her face was very scary. She whispered to Gu Xiyan: "When is it now? Why are you still so ignorant? Don't think that Deacon Ding is really helping you. Think about it, I'm leaving, what are the benefits of you?"

Gu Xiyan was unmoved and said in a cold voice: "I will not wiping my mind!"

When Duan Niang heard this, she looked like a deflated ball and didn't say a word for a while.

Gu Xiyan took the initiative first and said sadly as Duan Niang said, "I don't know what happened that day, so I want to see you. You have been waiting for me for so many years, and you still stop me everywhere. What do you make me think? How do you make me believe you?"

After hearing this, Duan Niang looked at Gu Xiyan like a monster.

Gu Xiyan's heart trembled, knowing that something was wrong with what she said, but she was really anxious to understand the truth of the incident and could no longer care about it. She insisted: "Take me to Heming Palace."

Duan Niang had to click: "Okay, but I have to wait a little later."

Gu Xiyan didn't know what she was concerned about, but she was just a little bit old and it would never be too outrageous to get more experiences from older people. She agreed to go later.

Seeing this, Duan Niang seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

The dinner was very delicate, with a bit of a Japanese-style rack. A small white bone porcelain dish, two golden yellow croaker, four green and verdant cabbages, and a bowl of white porridge as white as jade. It was placed in a small fan-shaped red paint tray, making people's index fingers move. Gu Xiyan ate a small bowl of white porridge under the girl's servitude, and the sky gradually darkened. Gu Xiyan remembered to go to Heming Hall, and his anxious expression floated on his face.

The little girl who had been waiting for her by her all the time asked her in a low voice: "Miss, do you want me to accompany you!"

In fact, Gu Xiyan was always worried. After hearing what the little girl said, she felt that there were many people and power. If there was something to deal with, she nodded.

The little girl asked the people outside the bead curtain across the room: "Tonight I will serve the girl's house. Mo Ju, you are in the first half of the night, and Xinghong is in the second half of the night, and you are on the waves to come for me at dawn."

Gu Xiyan thought for a while in her mind, thinking that this might be called Hengyue.

A few little girls heard the crisp responses outside.

Gu Xiyan tried to call out "Hengyue".

The girl turned around and asked, "What advice did the second girl give?"

Gu Xiyan had no choice but to show a hesitant look.

When Hengyue saw this, she misunderstood Gu Xiyan and hurriedly stepped forward and explained: "Miss, don't look at Mo Ju, who is so smart. Let's go out and let her be on duty. There is nothing to do."

Gu Xiyan didn't expect Hengyue to be so thoughtful. She was so young that she looked a little bit despised. After hearing Hengyue said this, she gave Hengyue an encouragement smile: "Don't worry if you do things. I'm just a little worried about going to Heming Palace later..."

After all, this body is pretending to be a mature soul. If you say something, you will naturally do something much better than the ignorant Xiao Xiyan. To be honest, Gu Xiyan has been waiting for four or five years for four or five years. She either wants her to take the blame for her master or is dissatisfied with her work. Whenever she heard such thoughtful words of praise, she felt warm in her heart, and a tear came from the corner of her eyes, and she lowered her head and murmured: "Second Miss, don't worry, what's the matter with me..."

Gu Xiyan just regarded this as a polite word, but Hengyue over there thought: Hengxu is a life, if there is something wrong with the girl, she will not have any good results. If something really happens, she will just take the blame. Maybe the master will be able to take care of the widowed mother who stays in Shuzhou with this merit.

After a while, Duan Niang came in. Her face was solemn, she held a white lantern that was so angry, and told Hengyue: "Put on the second girl a dark cloak, it's windy outside."

Hengyue entered the back of the screen and took out a black cloak, and then went to pick up the lantern in her mother's hand.

Duan Niang raised her eyebrows in surprise.

Hengyue smiled and explained, "I'll go with you too. If you have any questions, you'd better have a helper!" After saying that, he looked at Duan Niang with a deep look.

Mo Ju and Xinghong are newly selected, Hengyue and Talang were taught by Duan Niang. One was wise and the other was loyal. At this glance at Hengyue, Duan Niang immediately understood that she thought she would take the blame if something happened!

Duan Niang felt sad. Hengyue was using her life to help her overcome this disaster!

Gu Xiyan was grown up since she was a child, so how could she not know her personality? If she showed nothing, she would be fine. If she showed concern for Hengyue at this time, Gu Xiyan would be even more disobedient and acted with her in a mess with her. Even if you said that she would go west... At this critical moment, Duan Niang dared not reveal anything, nodded coldly and said, "Let's go!"

When he left the door, the sky had completely darkened, but with the moonlight, Gu Xiyan found that she had lived in a forest, and outside the door was a bluestone passage with mottled shadows and silent voices.

Hengyue was holding the lamp, and Gu Xiyan followed Duan Niang calmly on the passage. Every other section of the way, Gu Xiyan would see a single courtyard, like a huge black shadow under the moonlight, like a monster lurking in the dark, which made Gu Xiyan feel scared.

She silently remembered the road.

When they walked past the thirteenth courtyard, the trees in the forest turned into camphor. The special fragrance stimulated Gu Xiyan's nerves from time to time. After walking for a few minutes, a very tall palace-style building appeared in the camphor forest. When they approached, Gu Xiyan saw a black lacquered plaque under the eaves of the main entrance of the palace with three lacquered gold characters "Heming Palace".

Gu Xiyan felt a terrified.
