Children of Loulan

Chapter 31 Everyone has their own thoughts

After the maid admitted her mistake, she continued, "Mammy, should we find that person directly next?"

The nanny took a sip of tea slowly, then slowly said: "No rush, let's observe for two days first." After that, she gently blew away the hot steam in the cup and continued to drink tea leisurely.

The maid nodded respectfully to show that she understood, and then stood quietly aside waiting for instructions.

Meanwhile, after Gu Lixian had the palace doctor check her pulse, she finally confirmed that she was not poisoned. The weight hanging in her heart finally fell to the ground, but she was still a little uneasy. After all, someone tried to poison her, and if she couldn't find the mastermind behind it, she might encounter more accidents in the future.

After sending the court doctor away, Gu Lixian decided to visit Dora in person. No matter what, she had to thank Dora for eating the poisonous meal for her. So, she tidied herself up and went to Dora's residence.

"Dong dong dong..."

Dora had just cleaned her wound and was about to lie down to rest for a while, but suddenly she heard a slight knock on the door. She turned to look at her maid with a hint of doubt in her eyes. The maid understood and immediately went to answer the door.

After a while, the maid led someone into the room. The maid said softly: "Miss, it's..." Before she finished speaking,

Gu Lixian had already walked quickly to Dora and asked with concern: "Sister Dora, are you feeling better? I came here specially to see you."

Before the maid could say who it was, the person behind her spoke first.

Dora endured the discomfort in her body and sat up from the bed with difficulty. She looked carefully and found that the person who came was Gu Lixian! At this moment, her heart was filled with resentment and disgust - if it weren't for this extremely stupid woman in front of her, who didn't know when she had offended someone and was poisoned and framed by jealous people, how could she have suffered such an unprovoked disaster!

However, Dora was told by reason that she must not act impulsively at this moment. After all, she might need the help of the forces behind Gu Lixian in the future, and before she knew who was behind her, she could not turn against this woman for the time being. So, she had to swallow the anger in her heart, forced a smile on her face and said, "Oh, it's my sister, thank you for coming to visit me."

Gu Lixian moved to the bedside, sat down slowly, reached out and held Dora's hand, and said with a guilty look on her face:

"Sister, what are you talking about? This is all my fault. I have implicated you..."

Humph, isn't it because of you, a fool? Not only did you not realize that you were being seen as a thorn in the eyes of others, but you were also arrogant and overbearing all day long! Dora cursed in her heart, but on the surface she still pretended to be calm and responded:

"Sister, you are too kind. What's the point of being involved? There's no need to be so formal between us sisters. As long as sister is safe and sound, that's all that matters."

Gu Lixian: "Don't worry for now, sister. I have already sent a letter to my family, asking them to find a good doctor. They will definitely cure you..."

Dora: "Thank you for your concern, sister. I'm afraid it will take two or three months for my injury to heal!"

After she finished speaking, Dora yawned. She really didn't want to be so hypocritical with this woman, so she could only drive her away in this way. Sure enough, when she saw that she was a little sleepy,

Gu Lixian said with a guilty conscience: "Hey, look at me, I have disturbed you for so long, so you should have a good rest first, I will go back first and come to see you another day!"

Dora also pretended to be a little embarrassed and said: "I'm so sorry, sister, I'm really a little tired!"

"It's okay, it's okay, then you can rest!" Gu Lixian said with a forced smile, then slowly stood up, walked out of the room with light steps, and closed the door.

However, at the moment the door closed, the two people who had smiles on their faces suddenly changed their expressions and collapsed at the same time like deflated balls.

Dora thought to herself, "Humph, you stupid woman, you are lucky today that someone is suffering for you, but one day, I will make you pay the price and pay you double!"

At the same time, Gu Lixian supported her personal maid and returned to her boudoir. As soon as she entered the room, Gu Lixian couldn't help but snorted coldly and complained indignantly:

"Humph, what an ignorant fellow, you actually dare to daydream here!"

Seeing this, her maid asked in confusion: "Miss, what happened? That girl..."

"Her face can't be healed!" Gu Lixian replied with gritted teeth.

"Ah? It can't be cured? But didn't the court doctor say that it can be treated with scar cream?" The maid opened her eyes wide in surprise.

Gu Lixian glared at her maid as if she was looking at a fool, and said unhappily:

"Although the court doctor said that scar removal cream can be used, did he ever guarantee that it would be cured?"

The palace doctor certainly didn't say it would definitely get better, but he also didn't say it wouldn't get better. Seeing the maid still looked puzzled

Gu Lixian sneered and said:

"If it could be cured, the court doctor would have told her not to worry and just to recover from her injuries. But the court doctor said at first that the original poison and the scratches were not a problem. But the combination of the two..."

The maid seemed to understand:

“It’s hard to combine the two?”

"It's not that difficult, but it's definitely not going to get better."

Gu Lixian picked up the teacup and said very firmly.

After Hanguli and her servant closed the door, Bayer still did not give up. He tiptoed to the door, then quietly lay down, trying to observe the movement outside through the crack of the door. Hanguli couldn't help but feel a little funny when she saw this, but she still said softly:

"Don't look anymore, you can't see anything."

Bayer turned around and asked in confusion:

“Why can’t I see it?”

Dahl rolled his eyes at her and said unhappily:

"Everyone has returned to their rooms to rest. If there was something important to discuss, why would anyone choose to discuss it in this courtyard? If you were to spy like this, at most you would only be able to see which servant went to which room."

After hearing this, Bayer felt that it was true, so he nodded thoughtfully, then turned his gaze to his young lady and asked curiously:

"Miss, do you think they can find out who the person who poisoned the animal is?"

Hanguli blurted out without even thinking:

"do not know."

Bayer was even more surprised when he heard this, and asked, "Miss, you are so smart, how could you not know this?"

Dahl couldn't help but roll his eyes again and said unhappily:

"Miss, if you say you don't know, then you don't know. Why do you have so many questions? Besides, why bother to speculate about other people's affairs and waste your energy for no reason?"

Hanguli looked at Dar with admiration.

"You understand me. If it's none of my business, I don't need to worry about it."

In another room

In another room, a maid whispered, "Miss, who poisoned you?"

The woman called Miss raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why, are you interested?"

Maid: "Miss, don't you want to know? Gu Lixian and Dora are both yours."

That’s right, this lady is the person behind the legend of Gu Lixian...Xilin!

After hearing what the maid said, Xilin sneered and said nonchalantly: "My people? They are not worthy of being my people. Idiots like them are not even worthy of carrying my shoes..."

The maid immediately smiled and said:

"Yes, yes, I was wrong. They are indeed not worthy of being my lady's people. But right now, my lady only has these two available. If they are gone, my lady will have to go look for them. How troublesome is that?"

Xilin said indifferently:

"Looking? Why should I look? What's the point of looking for these garbage?"

The maid was puzzled:

"Then Miss, you don't need it anymore?"

"Humph, just a bunch of idiots!"

"Then why did the young lady accept Gu Lixian's flattery?"

The maidservant was a little confused. If the young lady didn't care, why didn't the young lady refuse when Gu Lixian took the initiative to show her affection to her? Instead, she looked like she liked her very much. Anyone who saw her would think that she was the person the young lady wanted to use.

Xilin said helplessly:

"Hey! I have to stay in this Mo City for half a year, and I have to learn those crappy dances all day long. How boring! If there were a few clowns to perform, then life wouldn't be so boring!"

The maid seemed to finally understand: "Miss, you are wise, but I don't know if that fool has any hand in this."

Xilin: "Why? You think highly of her."

Maid: "What are you talking about, young lady? I think Gu Lixian's eyes are really not good. Although she knows that young lady is capable, she can't see what young lady is thinking. She chose four people for herself, two of whom are idiots, and she can't take down the other two. So I think this Han Guli is probably pretending to be stupid, and the poison was originally supposed to be given to her, but she gave it to Gu Lixian instead."

After listening to the maid's analysis, Xilin looked at her maid with great appreciation:

"Oh, that's good. When you think about a problem, you always think big!"

After receiving the praise from her master, the maid Weiwei smiled and bowed to Xilin:

"It's all because of the young lady's good teaching. Following the young lady means you learn more and learn faster."

Xilin looked at her maid with satisfaction, took out a silver ingot from her sleeve and threw it to the maid.

"You've been very good today, so I'll give you a reward."

The maid caught the silver thrown by her mistress and was very happy. She smiled and bowed again.

"Thank you, Miss, for the reward!"

As night fell, Hanguli stood in front of the window, watching the moonlight shining on the seemingly calm courtyard in front of her. No one was walking in the courtyard, and no one was making any sound. Such a quiet courtyard seemed particularly peaceful.

But she didn't know what the people in every room in this yard were thinking and what kind of calculations they had. Although she had escaped this time, what about next time, and the next time? She thought she could get away with it by playing dumb, but now it seems that she was overthinking.

But now that it has come to this, she can only cheer up and keep moving forward.
