Chapter 168

"Miss Gu, your mother will let you in."

"Thank you very much, sister."

Gu Jiu takes a deep breath and goes into the bedroom.

The light in the bedroom was dim, and the maids were hiding in the dark, unable to see clearly.

A valet stood in front of the bed, heard the footsteps, immediately raised his head to look at her.

Gu Jiu also looked at each other, white face, 30 years old. If you can enter the Queen's bedroom at this time, you must be a trusted person.

Weiyang palace will be the list in the mind over again, Gu Jiu guessed the identity of the other side. This man must be the most powerful person in Weiyang palace, Fang Shaojian.

The empress lay on the bed, as if she had died with her eyes closed.

Gu Jiu stepped forward and bowed down to meet her, "the courtier's daughter meets the empress, who is blessed with longevity and health."

The empress suddenly opened her eyes and looked straight at Gu Jiu.

Gu Jiu slightly droops his head, avoiding the eyes of the empress.

"Coming!"

Gu Jiu bowed and said, "please teach me."

The empress raised her hand, and Fang Shao Jian would stretch out the back of her hand. The empress put her hand on the back of Fang Shaojian's hand.

The empress pointed to Gu Jiu, "living in the palace, are you still used to it?"

Gu Jiu was already ready to fight.

As a result, the empress is so pleasant, but it makes Gu Jiu a little uncomfortable.

She did not dare to relax her vigilance. She tightened her whole body and said cautiously: "learning rules from Mammy every day has benefited a lot these days."

The Queen's mother laughed, her skinny cheeks full of wrinkles.

A generation of queens, appearance is not there, life is about to end. However, her eyes, like the stars in the night, can not be ignored by anyone.

Her eyes were shining with wisdom.

Her life is bound to leave a strong mark in history.

Gu Jiu admires empress from the heart, this woman is too strong.

But she had to compete with the queen.

However, in the empress's mind, Gu Jiu is not qualified to be the most her opponent.

"You come here, and this palace wants to have a good look at you."

Gu nine heart a jump, slowly step forward, from the edge of the bed is still a step away.

The empress grabbed her hand. "You must have something special. I hear you recite it very quickly? "

Gu Jiu said with a low eyebrow and a smooth eye: "reply to the empress, the minister is only good at endorsements."

"So you have a good memory?"

Gu Jiu said in a low voice: "it's not much good, but willing to work hard."

The empress laughed, and the other young supervisor said, "look at the children today, how modest."

Fang Shao Jian said with a smile: "the empress said yes. Miss Gu has a good appearance and a clean family. As a girl's family, she is willing to study hard. It's no wonder that the young master always thinks about it. "

The empress nodded, her eyes with a slight smile, staring at Gu Jiu, "you have such a good memory, why did you forget things half a year ago so quickly?"

Gu Jiu's heart jumped and said calmly, "please show me. I don't know what the lady said. "

The Queen's mother laughed, "now little girls, they are so stupid. What's more, when we were young, we would answer whatever the adults asked. We never knew how to pretend to be stupid. Even your majesty has said that the greatest virtue of this palace is honesty. "

"Today's little girl, of course, is not as good as your mother used to be." Fang Shaojian looks at Gu Jiu with a smile.

"Miss Gu, you dare to fool people in front of your mother. Are you afraid to die?"

A dead word, which was dragged long by Fang Shao Jian, is extremely deterrent.

Gu Jiu lowered her head and said in a hurry: "I really don't know what the lady is referring to? I also ask your mother to make it clear that the minister must know everything and say everything. "

"Oh? It's rare that you are willing to tell the truth in front of this palace. " The empress's mother smiles and is finally willing to let go of Gu Jiu's hand.

Gu Jiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fang Shaojian stood up and said, "Miss Gu, did you ever see the prince's edict when you were in Northwest China last time. Do you want to answer this question? "

Gu Jiu made a bewildered expression, "I don't understand. Last time my mother asked about this matter, my daughter has already said that she has never sent a prince's edict in the northwest. At that time, the minister's daughter lay in the room all day, even two doors have not been out. Moreover, at that time, the minister and daughter had not even heard of this man

Fang Shaojian snorted, "Miss Gu, your mother has given you a chance, but you don't want to cherish it. You keep saying that you haven't been out of the house, but someone knows that you have been out for a few days and went to Tianmen temple with your brother to burn incense and pray for the dead mother. Did Miss Gu really forget about it? "

Gu Jiu shows a look of panic, so that Fang Shaojian is not satisfied, thinking that he has grasped Gu Jiu's painful feet.

Gu Jiu deals with it and thinks that it is Xie's family that has leaked the news.She said helplessly and wrongly: "reply to your mother, at that time, the minister girl just left the gate of hell, and I was afraid of it. On the day of his mother's death, he went to Tianmen temple to burn incense for his mother. At that time, the officials and women did not even know who the prince's edict was, and how could they know him. "

"Your mother didn't say you knew gongzizhao. The empress just asked you if you have seen the prince's edict in the northwest Tianmen temple

Fang Shaojian stares at Gu Jiu fiercely.

Gu Jiu shakes her head. "The minister's daughter has been in Tianmen temple for several days. Because of her weakness, she is either burning incense in the main hall or resting in the wing room every day. And always followed the servant girl to serve. I haven't met any childe in those days, but I have seen a few ladies. "

Fang Shao Jian Leng hum, "it seems that Miss Gu does not see the coffin, does not shed tears, will bring people in."

People?

Who is it?

Gu Jiu is in a panic. Is Xie Xian here?

Can't!

Hearing the footsteps, Gu Jiu suddenly looked at the door, and then was startled.

The person who came was not Xie Xian, as she guessed, but mother Ping beside her wife Xie's.

How could she be mother Ping?

She's here? Is Xie's

No, it's not.

There must be something wrong with it.

"The maidservant kowtowed to the empress."

Mother Ping didn't even look at Gu Jiu. She came in and knelt down on the ground to greet the empress.

The queen looked at mother Ping and asked, "do you know Gu Jiu?"

Mammy Ping just looked at Gu Jiu and nodded, "reply to your mother, know me."

"It's good to know. What happened to Gu Jiu when he went to Tianmen temple in the northwest

"Yes, my servant."

Mother Ping lowered her head and gave Gu Jiu a malicious smile. Then she began to say, "at that time, the wife wanted to marry the second girl to Xie Xian, the fourth young master of the Xie family. Mr. Gu has been hesitating about this marriage. His wife wants to take advantage of Gu Jiu's opportunity in Tianmen temple to let Xie Xian cook cooked rice.

From the beginning, everything went well. Wait until the evening, under the medicine, critical moment, someone appeared to save Gu Jiu. However, Xie Xian was injured seriously, endangering his life. It is said that Xie Xian's injury was completely cured after half a year's cultivation. "

After hearing this, the queen looked at Gu Jiu with a smile, and asked mammy Ping, "who saved Gu Jiu?"

Mother Ping said, "according to Xie Xian, he is a very tall bodyguard. The bodyguard is equipped with a standard waist knife at his waist. He is certainly not a bodyguard of ordinary people. "

The empress looked at Gu Jiu and asked in a shrill voice: "tell me who the bodyguard who saved you at that time?"

Gu Jiu's expression is agitated, "Qizhi Niang, Ping mammy is pure nonsense. Although the minister's daughter was not born by his wife, she had been taken good care of by her wife, so she was lucky to grow to such a big age.

My wife's charity can never be as insane as mammy Ping said. Let Xie Xian go to Tianmen temple to harm me, tarnish my reputation and ruin my family's face.

The truth of the matter is that Xie Xian's behavior is dissolute. He has no awe of the Buddha in his heart, and he intends to embarrass the great monk of Tianmen temple. In the middle of the night, he took his servant to Tianmen temple to steal the treasures of Buddhism, but he was found by the great monk of Tianmen temple.

Because he said that he was a relative of the Gu family, the great monk of Tianmen Temple looked at the faces of our family. It happened that my brother and I were in Tianmen temple again. The great monk of Tianmen Temple gave Xie Xian to our brother and sister for disposal.

My brother was angry at Xie Xian's disgrace, so he punished him severely and threw him directly to the second master of the Xie family. As for Xie Xian's little boy, he left it to the government's legal office.

There is a record of the case in the Yamen of the governor of Jinzhou. Every sentence said by the minister is true, and he dare not have half a false statement.

I don't know whether it is the lie of mother Gu Meiliang who wanted to ruin her family's reputation. I'd like to ask your mother for a good example

Mother Ping couldn't believe to look at Gu Jiu. She was almost shocked by Gu Jiu's words.

As soon as Gu Jiu's voice fell, she cried out, "I'm not lying. Niang, what the maid said is true. Xie Xian and the second master of Xie family can testify. "

Gu Jiu pointed to mammy Ping's nose and yelled: "mammy Ping, shut up! Where in the end do you feel sorry for your family, which makes you lose heart and madness to make up such vicious lies to slander my wife, me and even the Xie family.

Are you still a human being when you do such things that are not as good as dogs and pigs?

Are you more trustworthy than yamen files?

Ridiculous!

Where do you place the dignity of the court when you do such a thing?

Betray the Lord, slander the government, be merciless, unfaithful and unfilial, you should die! "

Mother Ping was scolded by Gu Jiuyi and flustered, "no! I mean it. Ma'am, you must believe in maids

Gu nine cold hum a, "Niang's wisdom is matchless, how can you be deceived by such unkind people as you? Give up your heart."Mother Ping is still arguing.

But the queen didn't want to listen. Her eyes closed slightly, and Fang Shao Jian waved. Immediately someone came in and blocked mother Ping's mouth and dragged her away.

Gu Jiu watched mother Ping dragged away.

She watched with her own eyes the light in Mammy Ping's eyes faded away, her tears streaming down her face, her eyes full of hatred, panic, struggle and begging for mercy.

Mother Ping is dead!

Gu Jiu was indifferent.

The queen laughed.

Laughter into Gu Jiu's ears, let Gu Jiu shiver, feel very bad.

Empress empress stares at Gu Jiu, "according to your saying, what bodyguard saved you."

Gu Jiu bowed down and said, "that's it! Everything is made up by mother Ping. "

The empress sneered, "I really underestimated you before this palace. The black and white, who will die, said that the survival, the ability is not small. It's no wonder that you are in love with you

Gu Jiu looks frightened.

The empress said with a smile: "I want to thank you. Now we can confirm that the young master lived in Tianmen temple during his stay in Northwest China. As long as you send someone to Tianmen temple to check it, you may find traces of gongzizhao living there. "

Gu Jiu faces the empress at a loss.

At this moment, however, her heart beat so fast that it would jump out of her throat.

Is she self defeating?

No, no, no!

She could not watch mammy Ping slander her family and her reputation, and implicate Liu Zhao in it.

Fight back at mammy Ping, which is what she has to do.

Obviously, the empress calculated this point and deliberately provoked her to fight with Mammy.

Gu Jiu clenches his teeth secretly. What should we do now?

The empress looked at Gu Jiu with a smile and said, "if you deny the existence of that bodyguard so hard, if you can't guess the truth, this palace has been a queen for so many years in vain."

Gu Jiu's face turned white, but he still had to hold on to it. "The officials and daughters told me the truth. There are files in Jinzhou's provincial magistrate's office."

"I believe there are files in this palace. Why don't you listen to the truth of this palace's conjecture? "

Gu Jiu is nervous.

Fang Shaojian laughed and said, "my mother is resting. Let me talk about it. In order to promote the marriage, Xie sent Xie Xian to Tianmen temple to cook raw rice.

It happened that gongzizhao secretly left Beijing and lived in the backyard of Tianmen temple. In the middle of the night, I heard a cry for help and sent out bodyguards to help.

Because of this opportunity, Miss Gu met with the young master.

On the other hand, in order to block the crowd and Miss Gu's reputation, Mr. Gu deliberately made the case that Xie Xian stole the most valuable Buddhist treasures from Tianmen temple, and was beaten after the incident. Finally, the case is settled by the boy.

Miss Gu, do you feel familiar with the story we tell you? "

Gu Jiu was frightened and frightened. As expected, all the people in the palace were human spirits, and none of them could be fooled.

However, Gu Jiu can still maintain calm.

"The story told by Fang Shaojian is well founded. It sounds like it is true. But that's not what the courtiers and daughters have experienced. Please give me a good example. "

Fang Shaojian said with a smile, "at this meeting, Miss Gu still refuses to tell the truth. It's true that she doesn't see the coffin and tears.

The imperial edict of the young master did not intend to leave the capital. He should be demoted to the common people and banned. At that time, you can imagine how miserable it will be if you are so smart.

We advise Miss Gu to draw a clear line with the prince's edict before it is too late.

For the sake of your hard work, my mother will guarantee you, and give you a marriage, such as the town government. How about it? "

Gu Jiu face aggrieved, tears suddenly fell down.

Fang Shaojian frowned. What happened? He was fine just now. How did he burst into tears.

Little girls are just annoying and cry.

However, this shows that Gu Jiu is scared, which is a good phenomenon.

Fang Shaojian pressed her step by step, "Miss Gu, it's time to say it. Your mother's patience is limited. You can't offer a toast without eating or drinking. "

Gu Jiu is crying and procrastinating while thinking about countermeasures.

As Liu Zhao said, without definite evidence, the empress did not dare to take the plunge and say that Liu Zhao had no intention to leave Beijing.

They are pressing step by step, which is a race against time.

Before the empress passed away, Liu Zhao's accusation should be carried out, so that Liu Zhao would never turn over.

Because of the time, they had no time to go to the northwest to investigate and collect evidence. They could only bully and entice them, and they tried to force Gu Jiu to provide evidence.

Obviously, they believed that Liu Zhao had gone to the northwest secretly. It is also believed that Gu Jiu and Liu Zhao knew each other since they were in the northwest.

It has to be said that the Queen's guess is very accurate.

However, it is impossible for Gu Jiu to tell the truth.

Gu Jiu cried and said, "what I said is the truth. I really don't know childe Zhao. I, I Fang Shaojian, no matter how hard you force me, I still say this. I can't make up things that haven't happened. "Gu Jiu cried very sad.

Fang Shao Jian snorted coldly, "it seems that the empress is too kind to you, so that you don't know how good or bad. Come on, will... "

"I said, I said..."

Gu Jiu interrupts Fang Shaojian's words with tears.

She's afraid of pain. Don't torture her.

Fang Shaojian smiles with pride, "go ahead. Where are you in the northwest? When did you see the imperial edict. Tell me the whole process of your meeting

Gu Jiu sobbed twice, then said: "I'm in the northwest, I haven't seen childe Zhao."

"What do you say?"

Fang Shaojian was furious, "Gu Jiu, are you kidding me?"
