N-A-A Chapter 605 People in the Bell Tower
Chapter 605 People in the Bell Tower
After coming out of the eldest wife's yard, Gu Chaoxi was temporarily at a loss.
I really can't figure out who that black shadow is playing tricks on.
If we say that it is someone in a certain courtyard, it seems that every lady is threatened by the black shadow.
But looking at this big house, who has such ability?
Pei Yan raised his head and looked into the distance. He could vaguely see the direction of the bell tower. There seemed to be a person standing on the second-floor city wall.
"Chaoxi." He raised his hand and pointed in that direction to remind her.
Gu Chaoxi raised her head and looked in that direction, pursing her lips slightly. That person looked like the fourth concubine.
Although I have not seen the Fourth Concubine very often, her slim and elegant temperament is unique in this mansion.
She turned and walked towards the clock tower, and Pei Yan followed behind her.
"Now that you've seen it, go over and say hello to the Fourth Concubine."
It took a long time to walk from the eldest lady's yard to the bell tower.
During the trip, he passed by the yard where Shen Yao was. He was taking care of the horses in the stable, which was something he had to do with his status.
After all, yesterday Ji Ze had someone tell him to take good care of the horses in the stable in the next few days and ensure that the horses had three meals a day.
Even though he was lying in bed seriously ill, he was still concerned about the horses in the stable. I don't know what he was doing.
However, in order not to violate the rules, Shen Yao still did things according to Ji Ze's instructions.
When Gu Chaoxi and Pei Yan walked to the bottom of the bell tower, the person standing on the second floor of the city wall poked his head down.
When he saw clearly who the two people were, he raised his hand and greeted them in a friendly manner.
Going up the side stairs, I saw the fourth concubine wearing a cloak and standing there looking at the scenery.
Her hands were hidden in a pair of warm gloves and her eyes were looking into the distance.
"When I first came into this house, you were all still young. Now, in the blink of an eye, seven or eight years have passed."
Her words sounded like an exclamation of emotion, and also like a sigh of sadness.
Gu Chaoxi could actually understand her feelings a little bit, but he didn't know what to say to comfort her.
Pei Yan walked to the side, leaned against the edge and looked into the distance, trying to figure out what the Fourth Concubine was thinking in this way.
She was obviously not very old, only six years older than the eldest young master in the mansion.
She moved into this house when she was eighteen years old and became the fourth concubine.
However, she has not yet conceived her own child, or perhaps it can be said that the Fourth Concubine simply does not want to have a child of her own.
What's the benefit of having your own child? To compete with other people for favors? Or to let your child have such a father?
Gu Chaoxi didn't say anything. He leaned against her and looked into the distance.
He stretched out his hand again, feeling the wind in the air, as if it could take him to a very far place.
The fourth concubine looked at her, and after a while she finally couldn't help but smile: "Second Miss, you are very cute."
This is a compliment, the purest kind of compliment.
Gu Chaoxi thanked her and said that the fourth concubine was also very beautiful.
She is indeed a very beautiful woman, otherwise she would not have been spotted and taken home by Ji Ze when she was only eighteen years old.
The fourth concubine leaned against the side and watched for a while, then suddenly turned her head to look at the locked bell tower.
"Second Miss, do you know the story of this clock tower?"
She looked at the locked door, her eyes revealing an incomprehensible emotion.
Before Gu Chaoxi answered, she had already lowered her head, as if her answer was not important.
The fourth concubine raised her head and gazed into the distance, then suddenly curled her lips and said, "You were young at that time, so it's normal for you to forget some things."
In fact, originally, the Fourth Concubine was not the Fourth Concubine, but the Fifth Concubine.
This story begins with the fourth concubine falling in love with Ji Ze.
At that time, the fourth concubine's family was still running a small business. When Ji Ze led his troops out to fight, her family suffered a disaster.
There was no other choice but to flee with his parents, and he met Ji Ze on the way.
But the fourth concubine felt that this man might be her savior, who came from the sky and instantly fell into her heart.
However, after hearing that this man was a general, his parents persuaded the fourth concubine to give up the idea of marrying Ji Ze. Even if she married him, the wives in his family would be more than she could handle on her own.
But she is naive, she thinks sincerity can be rewarded with sincerity.
Ji Ze said that he would treat her well for the rest of his life, so he would definitely treat her well for the rest of his life.
She insisted on joining the army despite her parents' objections, and rescued the wounded along the way, devoting herself completely to the cause.
Later, when Ji Ze returned to the city, he took her home.
When I came back, everyone in the house looked at me strangely, as if something very big had happened.
At that time, the fourth concubine thought that it was because of her relationship with Ji Ze that made these people feel jealous, until one night when she went out for a walk and heard a shrill scream coming from the bell tower.
The lights near the clock tower are on, so it's not difficult to walk over there.
She approached cautiously, then lay down in the corner, and finally slowly moved to the front of the door.
But you can't see what's inside directly through the crack in the door. This floor is just empty. The key location is to go up the spiral staircase that goes around the wall next to it.
The screams from inside never stopped. The fourth concubine wanted to help, but she didn't dare.
She also valued her life, so she could only eavesdrop from the side.
After a long time, a stream of blood flowed down the stairs and the woman's screams gradually stopped.
She was terribly scared because someone had died in the house.
My first reaction was to scream, but I quickly covered my mouth again.
Everyone inside can kill a person. If I were to be exposed, I would probably die too.
Feeling that someone inside was coming down from upstairs, she quickly ran back to the direction she came from and walked downstairs, but she did not leave completely.
There was a small hiding space under the stairs. She shrank into it like a cat, hugged her knees and stayed in the corner, not daring to move.
I just prayed silently in my heart that you wouldn’t see me.
The man who came out of the bell tower did not see the fourth concubine squatting in the dark, but the fourth concubine saw him.
It’s Ji Ze.
She was so scared that she couldn't speak. She didn't know who the woman in the bell tower was and why Ji Ze wanted to kill her.
Her thoughts were in a mess and she had no idea what to do.
After a long time, she finally emerged from under the stairs in a daze and walked upstairs in a daze.
She wanted to see who the dead person was in the clock tower.
There was blood all over the ground, but the fourth concubine didn't care and walked up on the clean ground.
Then she saw a woman lying upside down on the ground with her head hanging on the stairs and her eyes wide open.
His hair was disheveled, his clothes were messy, and blood kept oozing out of his head.
That was the fourth concubine in the past.
