Chapter 135 Dead Qi (Part 2)
The Gu family's carriage soon stopped outside Yimen. After they got out of the carriage, they saw a young man in brocade clothes waiting there in his twenties.
The young man is tall and strong, with a square face and well-defined features, and his facial features are handsome. Just standing so quietly, there is a youthful vigor rushing towards his face.
"This junior has met Mrs. Tai." Murong Yong stepped forward a few steps, clasped his fists, bowed his hands to Mrs. Gu politely, and smiled boldly.
Mrs. Gu looked up and down the heroic young man in front of her, with a satisfied expression on her face, she said lovingly: "Good boy, don't be too polite."
That demeanor, that tone reveals affection.
In the second carriage behind, Gu Yunzhen and Gu Yanfei got off one after the other.
Murong Yong's eyes naturally looked at the two sisters, first at his fiancée Gu Yunzhen, and smiled at her, with neat and white teeth, and one side of the canine was a little sharp.
Murong Yong's gaze then passed over to Gu Yanfei who was one step behind Gu Yunzhen, the smile froze on his lips, and his expression was obviously stunned.
His pupils fluttered a bit, and one of his sword eyebrows also raised, thoughtfully.
The "boy" I saw in the Tianyin Pavilion that day overlapped with this beautiful and refined girl in front of me.
is her!
Murong Yong fixedly looked at Gu Yanfei who was walking with Gu Yunzhen, and recognized that this girl was the girl who disguised herself as a man and rescued Duke Wei.
On that day, Murong Yong suspected that the young man who was with her was not simple, and later found out from King Kang that it was the eldest prince.
"Mrs. in-law, forgive me for being late!" Not far away, a plump woman in her forties, with jewels and jewels, walked towards this side quickly, with one-line eyebrows, hanging eyes, and a sharp smile on her face.
Her voice was slightly high-pitched, quite a bit of a head start.
While speaking, her smiling eyes swept across Gu Yanfei's delicate face calmly: "This girl is also your granddaughter, she looks like a flower with icy muscles and bones, you really know how to raise a granddaughter!"
The last half of her sentence was like praising Gu Yunzhen.
Mrs. Gu was quite pleased with what she heard, she smiled kindly, and said: "My in-laws are overwhelmed. This is my second granddaughter."
It turned out to be the Gu family. Murong Yong said in his heart, staring at Gu Yanfei with deep eyes for a long time, and greeted him as if nothing had happened: "Eldest Miss Gu, Second Miss."
Mrs. Murong looked Gu Yunzhen up and down, the more she looked at her, the more she liked her, took her hand and praised her well, with a gentle and loving expression, sometimes praised her for being gentle and beautiful, sometimes praised her for being well-behaved and sensible, and sometimes praised her for being filial and virtuous.
The atmosphere was joyous.
After Mrs. Murong talked for a while, Murong Yong interjected in a timely manner: "Mother, it's freezing cold today, and it's windy here, let's talk inside."
He spoke and acted well, and looked handsome.
Mrs. Murong gave an apologetic smile, and hurriedly sighed: "Oh, blame me for being rude."
"It's rare for my in-laws to come to the mansion. I should treat her well. Hey, my mother-in-law is seriously ill these days. I really..."
"My in-laws don't need to be too polite." Mrs. Gu interrupted the other party in a hurry, and said earnestly, "The old lady in your house is seriously ill, and I am also very worried. I also want to visit the old lady this time."
"Speaking of which, we haven't seen each other for some years. At our age, it's really one less time to see each other."
As she spoke, Mrs. Gu sighed, her eyes showing sentimentality.
"My wife's wife really has a heart." Mrs. Murong wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and sighed, "My mother-in-law has been in poor health since the beginning of winter, and she spends more than half of the time lying on the couch... these things God, it's cold, it's even worse for her old man to watch."
Everyone surrounded Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Murong and walked towards the inner courtyard.
Along the way, Mrs. Gu asked a few more questions about Mrs. Murong's condition, but she never said anything about Gu Yanfei's knowledge of medicine.
If this is a boast, if it makes people happy, it is not beautiful.
Gu Yanfei casually looked at the mansion as he walked.
The main hall at the front of the inner courtyard seems to have been refurbished, the green tiles under the snow are not covered with moss, and the red paint clusters on the beams and columns are fresh and bright like flames.
Although it is a severe winter day, the yard is not inferior in any way. There are various plum blossoms, camellias, nandina and Clivia, etc. everywhere. The flowers are colorful and colorful.
The servants who came and went all lowered their eyebrows and were pleasing to the eye. When they met the master, they silently stood aside with their hands down, in a state of silence, appearing to be orderly and strict.
A group of people walked through half of the mansion and came to a courtyard located in the northwest of the mansion.
The old lady's courtyard was unusually quiet and lifeless. As soon as she entered the courtyard, she could smell a smell of medicine that could not go away.
Gu Yanfei immediately felt that the uncomfortable feeling in his heart became stronger.
A wrinkled old woman greeted her, and after saluting, she respectfully led the group of people into the house, her brows were deeply furrowed, and she looked worried.
As Gu Yanfei walked forward, he casually observed the surrounding environment.
On the west side of the courtyard, an ancient and vigorous old pine withered;
The water in the small pond beside the old pine has dried up to the bottom;
In the Dongji room, there was not a single fish in the big blue and white porcelain fish tank on the desk...
Gu Yanfei's eyes were deep and eerie, she pursed her lips quietly, and pressed the fingers of her right hand on her compass in her sleeve, a little curious, a little interested, and a little eager to try.
Soon, several female family members passed through two or three curtains and came to a dimly lit inner room, Murong Yong stayed outside and waited.
They could see at a glance that there was a motionless old woman lying on a cantilever bed against the north wall, and several women and girls were sitting around the bed and were attending to her.
Mrs. Gu sighed and praised Mrs. Murong: "Murong's family is really upright and their children are filial."
"It's as it should be." Mrs. Murong smiled and said in a modest manner.
Gu Yanfei, who landed at the rear, quietly looked around the room.
Obviously this room is very spacious, but when Gu Yanfei walked in, it was like walking into a narrow and cold environment, as if the roof and walls were pressing towards her, within reach.
There were two charcoal basins burning in the room, and the window on the east side was only opened a small gap, and there were a few talismans pasted on the window, but the light in the room was dim, and the distance was a bit far away, so she couldn't see what was drawn clearly. symbol.
The dull air is mixed with the smell of medicine, sandalwood, musty and other inexplicable smells.
Gu Yanfei put the sachet between her mouth and nose and sniffed it.
From the moment she stepped into this room, she felt bored, just like the dull and depressing feeling before the summer rainstorm.
Seeing a distinguished guest visiting, the sick people in the room got up one after another, and went forward to greet Mrs. Gu.
After exchanging pleasantries with each other, the female relatives of Murong's family avoided the side, and the old lady who was lying on the bed clearly came into sight of Gu Yanfei and the others.
The haggard old woman in her sixties had mostly gray hair, and she was unconscious at the moment, revealing only an old face as pale as paper outside the brocade quilt, her eyes were closed, her lips were dry and flat, and her cheeks covered with brown spots were slightly pale. sunken in.
The dull gray-blue bed curtain above made the old woman's face even more gloomy.
Even people who don't know medical skills can see that the old lady of Murong's family is seriously ill.
Gu Yanfei frowned involuntarily, and stared deeply at the old matriarch for a long time.
It was a gray-black dead air.
Gu Yanfei squinted her eyes slightly, she could see that the gray-blue bed curtain was full of this gray-black dead air, like the layers of dark clouds before a storm.
The thick dead air wrapped the old woman on the bed like a cocoon, and the dead air was so strong that it almost covered her face.
Gu Yanfei is a medical practitioner, and he is most sensitive to death energy. He watched the wisps of black air floating out of the canopy bed, baring its teeth and claws like the tentacles of an octopus.
A wisp of black air floated onto her skin, and the hairs stood on end, and she immediately got goosebumps all over her body.
Gu Yanfei touched his wrist lightly, his dark eyes became sharp.
She was convinced that this kind of dead energy was not that of a sick person, but that of a dead person!
But the problem is...
Gu Yanfei's eyes fixed on the area between Mrs. Murong's mouth and nose. Although the other person's breathing was very weak, she could be sure that the other person was still breathing and alive!
This is not unusual.
Gu Yanfei twirled her fingers in the wide cuffs thoughtfully, and the color of her eyes gradually became darker, like the surface of a lake without waves, and the depth in her eyes was unfathomable.
Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Murong walked to the sick bed together.
Looking at the unconscious Mrs. Murong on the couch, Mrs. Gu said with a bit of sadness:
"I have known my old sister for more than 20 years. The last time I met was three years ago. At that time, my old sister looked more energetic than me. It has only been three years..."
The last sentence ends with a faint sigh.
Mrs. Murong wiped the red corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, sighed and said: "We have invited all the famous doctors in the capital, and the imperial doctors have also visited, and they all said that the old lady is not good."
"Later, the Shangqing Daoist was also invited to visit the mansion."
Hearing Mrs. Murong mention the "Shangqing Daoist", even Mrs. Gu was slightly moved, with a solemn look on her face, and sighed: "The Daoist Daoist is profound."
Mrs. Murong wiped the corners of her eyes again with a handkerchief, then turned around, grabbed Gu Yunzhen's right hand, looked at her sincerely, with hazy eyes, and said: "Sister Zhen is also I watched her grow up, and I have always liked this girl."
"Sister Zhen has been educated and reasonable since she was a child, filial and sensible, and has a good temper... I also want such a daughter in my dreams."
Mrs. Gu's fingers gently stroked the string of beads, noncommittal.
Mrs. Murong lowered her voice and said: "My in-laws, Mrs. Tai, please take a moment to speak."
Mrs. Gu stroked her sleeve, knowing that what the other party wanted to say was about joy.
She calmly gave Gu Yanfei a wink, and told her to go and see Mrs. Murong, and then went to the green gauze cabinet with Mrs. Murong.
Gu Yanfei didn't pay attention to Mrs. Gu's eyes at all, her attention was all on Mrs. Murong who was on the bed, her eyes were burning.
The other party's closed eyelids trembled slightly at this moment.
Mrs. Murong is awake? !
The dead air in the bed curtain became even thicker, so thick that it was about to drip ink.
Gu Yanfei took another step closer to the other party, and when she took a closer look, she saw the old woman's dry and dull lips move a few times...
The other party didn't make a sound, but Gu Yanfei could read lips, and he read it all at once.
What the other party said was——
kill... me.
In an instant, death energy surged from Mrs. Murong's body.
