Chapter 334

How could it be... Her?

Gu Changqing said inconceivably: "she... Assassinated Jiaojiao... What happened to marshal yuan's mansion and Hou's mansion before that?"

Lao Jijiu knew about it. After all, it was Lao Jijiu who put Gu Changqing at home when Gu Changqing escaped from prison to see Gu Yan.

The old toaster said: "although there is no evidence for that, from the motive point of view, it really looks like her. Except for her, probably no one is so anxious to see your majesty and the Empress Dowager reconcile. "

Even if the makers want to cover the sky with their hands, they don't think it's a bad thing if Zhuang Jinse has a good relationship with his majesty. On the contrary, if they can win over his majesty and let his majesty promise more benefits to the makers, Zhuang Taifu will be happy.

It's just that your majesty always doesn't get on the bandit ship of the dealer.

"I guess she's still worried about the Empress Dowager. She wants to be the empress dowager, and she wants to get rid of Zhuang Jinse. It's just that she hides herself so well that she is the most suspect, but no one doubts her. "

Gu Changqing's eyes flashed something. He clenched his fist and his eyes were cold.

"I'm afraid she's also targeting LIULANG recently." After a moment's hesitation, the old man said, "and... When the young Marquis of zhaodu was poisoned by the empress dowager, I suspect she did it."

Gu Jiao's eyes also cooled down.

Seeing that his brother and sister were going to go to the palace, he quickly advised them, "don't be impulsive. Don't go to the palace to kill people! With the dead of the former Emperor, you can't kill them. On the contrary, you may be injured. Secondly, even if you are killed, your name will not be right and your words will not be right. Your majesty will not forgive you, nor will the law of our court forgive you. "

Gu Changqing cold voice way: "let her so carefree go on?"

The old toaster hehe said: "to deal with this kind of people, of course, the sword has to be biased!"

"How can the sword go sideways?" Gu Changqing asked.

The old man gave an enigmatic smile: "of course, it is... To treat people in their own way!"

It's easy to say, but it's not easy to do.

In particular, the old white lotus is deeply hidden, and even the old sacrificial wine is not as good as it is.

However, Lao Jijiu always refuses to admit defeat. You can surpass me in learning and official position, but you can't surpass me in tea!

Life is like a play. We play each other!

Gu Jiao touched her little basket silently.

The old man said, "it's so late. Where are you going?"

"To see my aunt." Gu Jiao said without changing her face.

Old wine: "back basket down."

Gu Jiao blinked and put down the basket.

"Take out the dagger."

Gu Jiao took out a black black black iron dagger.

"The other three."

Gu Jiao felt the three daggers hidden in her body again.

"Take out the sack."

"Take out the concealed weapon."

"Take out the needle."

"And that crackling thing you made."

Gu Jiao curled her lips: "that's gone."

Old wine: "poisonous insects."

"Viper."

Gu Changqing heard the temple jump behind, do you have so many tiger and wolf things in a girl's little basket? Even poisonous snakes!

Gu Jiao will be small basket of things out clean, leaving only a small medicine box.

The small medicine box can't hide living things and things that don't belong to it, otherwise they will disappear. Gu Jiao tried.

Lao Jijiu knows this girl too well. If she doesn't stop her today, she can go directly into the palace and put Princess Jing in a sack.

But it's too risky.

He didn't allow her to take risks.

Gu Changqing ignored the strange things in his sister's basket, looked at the old wine and said, "what do you plan to do with Huo's wine?"

The old sacrificial wine touched his beard: "well..."

He has a way, but he still needs a tool man!

This person needs to be highly trusted by the emperor and can enter the palace easily.

The second point alone was not too difficult for him, but since the emperor found out that he had been his father for some time, the emperor had a lot of resentment against him.

I don't believe in him as much as I used to.

It's not easy to be a minister.

Just as he was sighing, the sound of horse's hooves and wheels came from the alley. The sound stopped at the door next door, and then the roar of small clearance was heard in the whole alley: "ah! I'll never go out with you again! No fun, no fun! It's not fun at all

The old man muttered, "what's the matter? Who did he go out with? Is it so angry? "

Gu Jiao and Gu Changqing do not know.

The three went out.

Xiaojingkong jumped down from a big carriage and stamped his feet angrily after the jump!

"Clearance." Gu Jiao called.

Xiaojingkong sees Gu Jiao coming out of her grandfather's house. Her mouth shrivels wrongly and runs to Gu Jiao's arms.

Gu Jiao squatted down, wiped the sweat on the little guy's forehead, and touched his collar. Her clothes were soaked with sweat.

Xuanping Hou came down from the carriage, picked his eyebrows and looked at the little guy. He said, "I'm not grateful to take you to such a high-end restaurant to eat."

"Marquis." Gu Changqing arched his hand.

"Well." Xuanping Hou answered lightly.

Xiaojingkong is very angry: "you still talk, you still talk! Such a big restaurant! So many good dishes, you ordered an egg for me

Xuanping Hou coughed softly: "it's the stewed eggs with abalone juice. It's very expensive. Besides, can you eat so many things for a child? Didn't I take you boating

"What a wreck! It's leaking! I scooped all the way! Woo woo Xiaojingkong was wronged to death, "Jiaojiao, my arm is sour."

There were twenty bronze boats and fifty bronze boats, and as they went up, there were also one or two silver canopies.

Marquis Xuanping rented the cheapest boat. He didn't have any sheds. When he rowed half the way, he still missed the bottom.

In the end, I don't know whether it's a man rowing or a boat rowing.

Gu Jiao picked up Xiao Jingkong, who was lying in her arms.

What a thrilling day it is!

He will never go out with this little monkey again!

"I'll take clearance in first." Gu Jiao said, turning into the house.

Gu Changqing and Lao Jijiu looked at Xuanping Marquis, and their looks were beyond words.

I know you're stingy, but it's not as stingy as that!

Xuanping Hou coughed and said, "what are you doing looking at me like this? I am also very hard! Hou Ben didn't even bring aheng when he was a child. He worked hard to bring the little guy for a day, but he didn't even call his master

"Do you want to be a master for xiaojingkong?" The old sacrificial wine looked up and down at Xuanping Marquis, and his eyes lit up one by one. "This is simple. If you do something for me, I'll find a way to let Jingkong call you master!"

Xuanping looked at the old sacrificial wine suspiciously.

It rained at night, which dissipated a lot of summer heat. The heavy rain stopped at dawn, and the palace was full of fragrance, mixed with the smell of moist soil, which made people relaxed and happy.

Empress Xiao got up early.

According to the palace rules, she should go to Renshou palace to greet empress dowager Zhuang. But who let empress Zhuang not be an ordinary empress dowager? She had to go to the early court, which saved her daughter-in-law from making rules in front of her.

However, not to greet empress dowager Zhuang does not mean not to greet Princess Jing.

"Niang Niang, this peacock looks good on the jade hairpin." Said the maid in waiting, who combed her hair for Empress Xiao.

Looking at her family in the bronze mirror, empress Xiao sighed: "time is aging, beauty is dying, what's the use of a beautiful pearl hairpin? I'm old, and I don't wear anything. "

"How can the queen be old?" said the little maid? You are the peony in flowers, the fragrance of the country, and the pine and cypress in the mountains! You will only look better and better! "

Empress Xiao lightly a smile: "on your lips sweet." She raised her hand and motioned to the maid of honor to put the Pearl hairpin on for her.

The maid in waiting put on the peacock and picked out some white jade beads for her.

"The empress is the queen. If she doesn't serve others with lust, why are you afraid of wasting time?"

Mother Liao came in with a pot of water soaked in petals.

Empress Xiao laughed: "what mammy said is very true."

She is the queen and Her Majesty's first wife. Different from those yingyingyanyan's concubines, she and her majesty have been married, worshipped and had a real friendship with husband and wife.

As for men, they can give some thought to other women, but getting married is getting married after all.

Empress Xiao dipped her hand into the Petal water.

"Niang Niang, Xuanping marquis is here," Liao said

"Here comes my brother?" Empress Xiao's eyes brightened.

Mother Liao sighed, and only in front of Marquis Xuanping could she show the girl's side before leaving the pavilion.

"Come on, please!"

It's not a quick announcement. It's a quick invitation.

Empress Xiao has great respect for this elder brother. Of course, Marquis Xuanping treats his younger sister well.

Empress Xiao met Xuanping marquis in Qingyou Pavilion, where she was visiting.

Xuanping Marquis bow hand salute: "minister, have seen the queen."

Empress Xiao stopped talking. She glanced at the eunuchs in the palace and said in a deep voice, "you all step down. Let's have a word with Xuanping."

"Yes

The palace people retreated in turn.

Empress Xiao then stood up with a smile and came to Xuanping: "brother!"

Xuanping Hou looked at her in disgust: "how do you dress like a bird today?"

Empress Xiao splashed with a basin of cold water

Take a deep breath.

Brother, this mouth has not changed for decades!

Empress Xiao and Marquis Xuanping sat down on the chair. Instead of sitting on the main seat on the steps, she sat beside Marquis Xuanping.

Empress Xiao asked, "how is my brother?"

Xuanping said, "it's very good. Where's the queen?"

Empress Xiao said with a smile, "I'll be fine."

Looking at her delicate makeup and cumbersome jewelry, Xuanping Hou asked, "do you regret entering the palace?"

"How?" She doesn't regret it. Is it not good for her to have a mother? What's more, although your majesty has three thousand harem beauties, she has never really been ignored.

It was her intention to marry the emperor at the beginning, but it was she who cut off Princess Zhuang's Hu.

Zhuang Guifei was the emperor's imperial concubine, but after the emperor ascended the throne, he only named Zhuang Guifei the second grade, but made her the queen.

For this reason, she and the Xiao family suffered a lot from empress dowager Zhuang's troubles, which were carried down by her brother.

So she was grateful and respectful to her brother.

She asked with a smile, "why did my brother come to see me today?"

"I have something to ask you." Xuanping said.

"What's the matter?" Asked empress Xiao.

Xuanping Hou said: "an old friend asked me to bring something to Princess Jing. It's very precious. Let me hand it to Princess Jing."

Empress Xiao laughed and said, "what's the big deal for me? What's the difficulty? I'm going to Huaqing Palace to greet Princess Jing. Why don't you come with me? "

"Good." Xuanping Hou nodded.

Brother and sister went to Huaqing Palace.

Since Princess Jing moved here, Huaqing Palace has become more and more lively. All the empresses who are qualified to send greetings to Princess Jing are here. It's true to please Princess Jing, and it's not false to want to meet the emperor by chance.

Empress Xiao doesn't have to meet the emperor by chance, but the emperor regards Princess Jing as her biological mother, and empress Xiao naturally respects her as her mother-in-law.

But what empress Xiao never expected was that concubine Zhuang also came.

The two most powerful concubines of the harem met at the gate of Huaqing Palace. With their eunuchs and maids, the atmosphere seemed to solidify.

They used to be the same in the harem, but today Xuanping Marquis supports empress Xiao. Empress Xiao's aura is stronger than usual.

"Xuanping marquis." Princess Zhuang said hello with a smile.

"Lady." Xuanpinghou arched his hand perfunctorily.

He was so pissed in front of the emperor that Princess Zhuang didn't care about his attitude. Princess Zhuang looked at empress Xiao with a smile and said, "is the empress here to greet the empress?"

"Isn't your concubine?" Empress Xiao asked.

Princess Zhuang laughed: "the king of Ning suppressed a group of mountain bandits a few days ago. The people in the village are grateful for your kindness. They specially made some tea cakes and asked the king of Ning to bring them to your majesty. King Ning is still taking care of the aftermath in the mountains. He can only let the bodyguard send him back and let his palace do the work for him. "

King Ning, King Ning.

It is clear that her son is the prince. His majesty always asks the prince to study in the study. However, King Ning is often entrusted with the important task of helping his majesty govern the world!

Now, the reputation of King Ning in the common people is about to surpass that of the prince!

Empress Xiao's fingers tightened, and the cold light flashed in her eyes.

"Let's go in." Xuanping said.

Empress Xiao gives concubine Zhuang a white eye and walks into Huaqing Palace with Xuanping.

Concubine Zhuang bowed slightly and was very perfunctory.

It was not until empress Xiao and Marquis Xuanping entered the bedroom of Princess Jing that Princess Zhuang's look cooled down.

One side of the female official cold hum way: "what's great? If your majesty hadn't broken with the empress dowager, the Empress Dowager would have been in her pocket! "

What's the use of sitting in the back seat? It's hard to be a great man to have two sons

Concubine Zhuang also entered the Huaqing Palace. She did come to deliver tea cakes to the Emperor today. The folk things were not particular about and clean, but the Emperor didn't really eat them.

He only needs to know the mind of King Ning and the people.

No matter how many meritorious deeds the king of Ning established outside, he would tell the people that he was ordered by his father, and it was not he who protected the people, but his father and the emperor of Zhao state.

How can the emperor not love such a son?

The emperor was really happy to see the tea cake, and he didn't eat it, but he really praised King Ning.

"Your concubine is good at teaching children." The emperor Longxin was very happy. He thought of something and sighed in a low voice, "if the prince had half the sense of his elder brother, I would not be so worried."

Zhuang Guifei said with a smile: "if the prince doesn't dislike him, his elder brother will be happy to take him out for training."

He didn't flatter the prince or belittle his son, but told his brother Yougong, which was very helpful to the emperor.

"It's time to go out and practice. I'll find a job later and let the two brothers work together." The emperor paused and asked, "I haven't seen Yan'er and Xin'er for some time. You can let them enter the palace another day."

Qin Yan and Qin Xin are two little princesses in the palace of King Ning. They were born by the side imperial concubine. One is three years old and the other is two years old.

"Yes." Princess Zhuang answered with a smile.

The emperor put down the fold and said, "since you are here, please go with me to see the concubine Jing."

Concubine Zhuang was not respectful.

In Qiuhua Pavilion, empress Xiao and Marquis Xuanping have already invited Princess Jing to have a rest.

Empress Xiao sits next to Princess Jing. When she sees the emperor coming into the room with the young lady Zhuang, empress Xiao's face stinks.

"Hello to Princess Jing." Concubine Zhuang saluted.

"What are you doing here?" The emperor looked at Xuanping marquis.

Xuanping Hou said: "I have something to hand over to the empress."

He said, taking out a small brocade box from the wide sleeve.

Mammy Cai came over, took the brocade box and presented her hands to Princess Jing.

Princess Jing is still very ill. She doesn't look well. She coughs twice with a kerchief and takes the box.

"Who is the old friend?" Jing asked with a smile.

Xuanping Hou said: "the old friend said that if the princess opened the box, she would know."

Static too imperial concubine smell speech to nod, opened the box.

Xuanping marquis is the emperor's confidant, he can be trusted, he will not harm himself.

But no one expected that a dart came out the moment the box was opened!

Everyone's face changed!

Xuanping Hou was also shocked by the tiger's body. He never expected that the box was filled with concealed weapons, but he didn't have time to do it.

Princess Jing is old, weak and sick. She's going to die!

The dart was directed directly at the face of Princess Jing. She caught the dart with her eyes and fingers!

The crowd looked at her in a daze.

The hall was quiet.
