"Are you going to kill Xie Xian?"
Gu Jiu asked nervously, she lowered her voice very low.
Liu Zhao has been silent, is this troublesome
Liu Zhao shook his head, "Xie Xian is nothing to worry about."
Gu Jiu frowned, not understanding why Liu Zhao said that.
It doesn't matter if Xie Xian saw Zhao Huwei's face
Liu Zhao continued: "Either Master Xie or Xie Xian, they have never seen this young master with their own eyes. As long as they haven't seen him, they would not dare to stand up and identify this young master if he had ten guts. The only one who has seen this young master The son's person, besides Luhou, is you."
Gu Jiu opened her mouth, "And Sister Pei Yun."
Liu Zhao raised his eyebrows, "When did you and Pei Yun get along so well? Why didn't I know."
Gu Jiu secretly rolled his eyes, "It's impossible for you to know everything about me. Besides, Sister Pei is a very nice person."
"Don't think too much, I have nothing to do with Pei Yun."
Gu Jiu blinked her eyes, she didn't think about the relationship between the two before, so Liu Zhao is not asking for it
"What kind of eyes do you have?" Liu Zhao frowned, staring at Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu asked gossipingly: "You really don't like Sister Pei?"
Boom!
Gu Jiu was hit on the forehead, clutching the hit forehead, tears almost fell down.
She frowned, gritted her teeth in pain, and said, "Liu, you've been told not to touch me."
"You used to call me Mr. Liu, but now you call me Liu. Gu Jiu, can you stop being so realistic?"
Liu Zhao sued Gu Jiu, he wanted to talk about the title last time.
Ever since the two got engaged, Gu Jiu's attitude towards him has undergone a 180-degree change. How polite she was before, how disgusting she is now. Not even a decent name, it is too much.
Gu Jiu bared his teeth at Liu Zhao, "If you do it again, I won't be polite to you."
Liu Zhao was amused, "How are you going to be rude to me?"
Gu Jiu smiled softly, "Guess!"
Liu Zhao couldn't guess, very depressed.
Gu Jiu snorted, and finally won a round, not bad, not bad.
She asked, "Is it really okay with sister Pei?"
"You should worry about yourself first. You don't need to worry about Pei Yun. As Luhou's daughter, this status is her amulet. At least no one dares to touch her, not even the queen."
Liu Zhao said loudly.
Gu Jiu understood.
Liu Zhao continued: "The empress wants to know whether I have gone to the northwest or not. You are the key person. She can't touch Luhou, but she will target you. As long as you say that you have seen me in the northwest, I will definitely be punished by the empress." Peel off a layer of skin. Can you bear it?"
Gu Jiu was a little unsure, "I don't know if I can handle it. If the Empress uses a killer method, I don't have confidence."
Gu Jiu is really afraid of pain. If the empress said that she would be tortured, Gu Jiu could be 100% sure that she would tell the truth before the whip fell on her body.
Well, it's just so unstable, there's nothing wrong with it.
Liu Zhao thought for a while and said, "Forget it, I will settle this matter. You just need to remember that when the Empress asked about this matter, you just need to say that you don't know."
Gu Jiu looked at him, "This way we can handle it?"
The empress is not so easy to deal with.
Liu Zhao said blankly: "Of course it won't be that easy to deal with, so I said that I will find a way to solve this matter."
"Are you going to take the bottom line?"
Liu Zhao smiled, "The empress is racing against time, how many days do you think she can survive?"
Gu Jiu's heart was pounding suddenly, his mouth was parched, "Don't act recklessly, this is a terrible thing."
"My son never comes here randomly, he always comes with a plan." Liu Zhao said seriously.
Gu Jiu frowned, and said with a serious face: "My surname is Liu, I warn you that if you die, I will not end well. So before I die, I will definitely curse you ten thousand times, and I will put You dig out and whip the corpse."
Liu Zhao looked displeased, "You can't hope for my son's well-being? Do you still want to whip my corpse? They say that the most poisonous woman's heart is true."
"I learned everything from you."
Gu Jiu snorted coldly, scolding Liu Zhao ten thousand times in his heart ten thousand times. He is risking his life to death!
Marrying this man, Gu Jiu felt that she was going to have a heart attack every minute.
Liu Zhao smiled, a faint smile. He raised his hand and caressed Gu Jiu's cheek, "I haven't married you yet, how could I be willing to die. I advise you to stop wishing for my early death as soon as possible. You want to be a widow, but I don't agree."
Gu Jiu secretly rolled her eyes, turned her head, and shook off Liu Zhao's hand.
Liu Zhao took Gu Jiu's hand, "Don't worry, I promise you will be fine."
"I'm threatened and frightened every day in the palace, so what's the deal?"
Gu Jiu made Liu Zhao laugh with his appearance of being settled after autumn.
But he just secretly smiled in his heart, without showing any trace on his face, instead he put on a very serious and disgusted look.
"When you pass the door, I will pay you all the money from my private house, are you satisfied?"
Gu Jiu rolled her eyes left and right, and asked in a low voice, "Do you have private money?"
Liu Zhao had a straight face, "You look down on me?"
Gu Jiu whispered, "I heard that the emperor's grandsons are relatively poor."
The son of heaven is relatively stingy with granting titles to the royal family. So far, no grandson of the emperor has received the title of a serious son, only one grandson of the emperor.
The identity of the emperor's grandson looks noble, but the benefits are useless. Two or three thousand taels of flowers a year is not enough to support people, let alone do something, you have to fight famine.
Although there are subsidies from the princes and concubines, it is still a drop in the bucket.
In fact, not only the emperor's grandsons are poor, but many princes who are not knighted are also poor, and have to enter the palace every three days to fight the autumn wind.
Liu Zhao said expressionlessly: "No matter how poor I am, I still have enough money to support you. Don't worry about it."
Gu Jiu felt relieved. It would be very sad if after getting married, a dowry would be needed to support her and Liu Zhao.
As long as Liu Zhao has a property under her name, she will have a way to make the business bigger and stronger, and become a little rich woman, enjoying herself all day long.
Liu Zhao can see that Gu Jiu is a little money fanatic. Giving her anything is not as good as giving money directly.
Liu Zhao touched his body, he entered the palace today without any money on him. The thought of wanting to show off in front of Gu Jiu was instantly shattered into scum.
Liu Zhao felt overwhelmed, and simply took off the jade pendant around his waist, and put it in Gu Jiu's hand, "Take it, you can save it for emergency use."
"I do not want."
With a cold face, Gu Jiu sternly refused.
Being disgusted, Liu Zhao was upset, "Why don't you want the things I gave you?"
Gu Jiu stared at the jade pendant in his hand, "It's too precious, I'm afraid of losing it."
Liu Zhao was very frustrated, and asked out of words, "Would you like some money for you?"
Gu Jiu nodded, and then asked a very poignant question, "Do you have any money?"
Liu Zhao had a gloomy face, like the cold winter of March and September, which could freeze people to death. Sure enough, Gu Jiu picked up which pot he didn't open, and stabbed his heart with a knife.
"I didn't bring any silver with me today, so I'll send someone to send it to you tomorrow."
Oh!
Gu Jiu remained expressionless.
No money to talk about wool.
Anyway, she didn't want the jade pendant. She remembered very clearly that Mr. Gu was imprisoned because of a big case caused by a piece of jade pendant.
Wearing the jade pendant that Liu Zhao wore with him, Gu Jiu was worried that it would cause trouble.
In the palace, it is better to be careful.
There was movement outside, and Liu Zhao said: "I have to go. You are not familiar with the palace, so don't wander around, and don't just follow people you don't know. You should also be careful about food and drink."
Gu Jiu's heart skipped a beat, "Will someone really poison me?"
"Be careful making the ten-thousand-year ship."
Liu Zhao tugged at Gu Jiu's hand, finally let go, turned and left, walking very simply.
Gu Jiu stood by the window and watched Liu Zhao leave through the gap.
Liu Zhao left in a hurry, as if something had happened.
Gu Jiu was a little worried, could it be that the empress has already made a move
Liu Zhao lost the opportunity, can he still deal with it calmly
Qing Mei came in from the outside, and Gu Jiu took the opportunity to leave the window.
"Girl, are you okay?"
Gu Jiu shook her head, "It's okay. It's very quiet outside, isn't Miss Xiao here?"
"Miss Xiao heard that she went to the front hall to talk with Concubine Shu. Young Master Yi is also there."
"Is the prince out of the palace?"
"Your servant doesn't know, do you want me to inquire about it?"
"Can you hear it?"
Qingmei told Gu Jiu in a low voice, "Girl, this servant spent fifty taels of money to establish a relationship with a little maid here. I can still get general news."
Gu Jiu thought for a while, then shook his head, "Forget it, don't act rashly. After all, this is the palace, and you are walking around aimlessly. I'm worried that you will be caught. If something happens to you, I'm afraid I haven't got it yet." news, you will be killed."
When Qingmei heard this, she couldn't help shivering.
She still thought things were too simple before. He thought that everything would be fine with the help of money. But he forgot that this is a palace, and the rules are too strict. Walking around aimlessly, being seen, arrested and beaten to death deserves it.
Qingmei trembled twice, "Your servant listens to the girl."
Boil the time until three o'clock in the morning for dinner.
In front of Concubine Shu, no one can eat comfortably.
Even Miss Xiao strictly abides by dining etiquette and dare not make any mistakes.
Concubine Shu is getting older and has a small appetite. After eating a little, she put down her chopsticks.
Seeing Concubine Shu put down their chopsticks, Gu Jiu and Miss Xiao quickly put down their chopsticks too.
Concubine Shu leaned on the chair and said: "I'm tired, let's all step down."
"yes!"
Gu Jiu stood up and retreated, Miss Xiao seemed to have something to say, so she stayed.
After leaving Changchun Palace, Gu Jiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She followed the palace servants to Weiyang Palace. This road is when she is most comfortable.
When she arrived at Weiyang Palace, it was like entering the battlefield, and she had to be on guard all the way.
Back at Weiyang Palace, lived in a small wing, washed up a bit, and then Gu Jiu lay down on the bed.
"Girl, Miss Wei San is here."
Gu Jiu sat up from the bed.
"Sister Wei San, you are here."
"My sister is tired."
Gu Jiu smiled, "I can still hold on."
Wei San said in a low voice: "The life in this palace is really too boring. I have sent a message to my family to see if there is a way to leave the palace early."
Gu Jiu asked softly, "Did the empress not talk to Sister Wei San?"
Wei San shook his head, "Your Majesty is not in good health. I heard that there will be a nanny to teach us the palace rules tomorrow."
Gu Jiu was surprised. After thinking about it, I understood again.
It's not a problem for them to live in the palace and have nothing to do all day. Find something for everyone to do, and you can also observe everyone's temper and character by the way.
Learn the rules, memorize the family tree of the royal family, at least you can pass the time.
If the next few days were spent learning the rules, Gu Jiu would be willing.
This is much better than facing the empress.
Nothing to say all night.
In the early morning of the next day, a nanny came to teach everyone the rules of the palace.
Mammy is strict and finds fault with everyone.
Study palace rules in the afternoon and practice embroidery in the afternoon.
Gu Jiu's embroidery skills are simply appalling, and she has received a lot of attention from her mother.
For a while, Gu Jiu's life can be described as dire straits.
In the evening, they had to recite the royal family tree by candlelight.
Tired all day during the day, and had to continue reciting books at night, Gu Jiu was so tired that he almost fell to the ground.
Qingmei found someone and brought hot water to relieve Gu Jiu's fatigue.
Two small yellow doors came in carrying a bucket of hot water, "Ms. Gu, please use water."
"Thank you for your hard work."
"Miss Gu is polite."
When Xiao Huangmen exited, he dropped a purse on the ground.
Qingmei picked it up and wanted to return it to the other party, but when she went out, she couldn't see anyone.
Qingmei murmured, "Why did you walk so fast, the person disappeared in a blink of an eye."
"What did you pick up?" Gu Jiu asked casually, ready to wash up.
Qingmei said: "It's a purse, it looks quite delicate. I never thought that the small yellow gate in the palace can also use a purse embroidered with gold thread."
Embroidering purses with gold thread costs several taels of silver alone.
It's weird that Xiao Huangmen, the lowest status in the palace, can afford such a purse.
Gu Jiu hurriedly said, "Bring me the purse."
Qing Mei handed the purse to Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu took the purse and took a look, and realized something was wrong.
This is a double fish embroidered purse, not everyone can use it.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she made a bold guess. I hurriedly opened the purse and saw that, as expected, there was really a thousand taels of silver bills in it, plus a small note.
There are five words written on the note, and the handwriting is strong and powerful.
"My son will support you!"
Gu Jiu's mouth twitched.
If you want to be so naive, you just mentioned it casually yesterday, but Liu Zhao took it seriously. Did he write these five words on purpose to show his financial strength
Gu Jiu raised his forehead, such a childish man, is her fiancé
Give 10,000 taels if you have the ability!
One thousand taels also wanted to support her, but underestimated her ability to spend money.
For making money, Gu Jiu dare not say how good he is.
Spending money, huh, huh, but she has never been in vain.
The next time she sees Liu Zhao, she will definitely laugh at him and despise him.
"Girl, this purse..."
Gu Jiu put away the smile at the corner of her mouth, and said to Qingmei: "This is from Liu Zhao, you accept it for me."
The note was put on the candle and burned.
Gu Jiu watched the note burn to ashes with her own eyes.
Qing Mei was shocked when she heard that the purse was sent by Liu Zhao.
She whispered: "I didn't expect that Young Master Zhao could bribe even the people in Weiyang Palace."
Gu Jiu said softly: "It's just a small yellow door, it can't handle big things."
With the shrewdness of the empress, Gu Jiu did not believe that Liu Zhao could bribe the people around the empress.
At most, he can only bribe a few peripheral personnel, such as the little yellow gate.
However, as the situation changed, the empress's health deteriorated, and what was impossible in the past became possible now.
Gu Jiu looked in the direction of the main hall of Weiyang Palace, Liu Zhao wanted to cut the bottom line, what would he do
Directly bribe the people around the empress? Or bribe the imperial physician
No, it's too easy to leave a clue to bribe the imperial physician. It seems to be the easiest to operate, but in fact there will be endless troubles.
Or, does Liu Zhao have other methods
Gu Jiu soaked in hot water, fell asleep after thinking about it.
In the end, she was woken up by Qingmei, and hurriedly put on her clothes and returned to the bed to lie down
It's still the two small yellow doors, and the hot water bucket is carried away through the door.
Xiao Huangmen, who was throwing his purse, didn't even look at Gu Jiu, with an honest and loyal appearance.
Gu Jiu nodded secretly, only such a person can deceive everyone's eyes.
The little yellow gate left, it was already late at night.
Gu Jiu pulled Qingmei up, and the two of them huddled together on the same bed to sleep, it was warm.
In the next few days, Gu Jiu studied the rules during the day and memorized the royal family tree at night. The time passed quickly.
In a blink of an eye, it is the tenth day of the first lunar month.
During this period, I have not seen the Empress Empress.
Gu Jiu hoped that the Empress would completely forget about her, but in the end she would do whatever she wanted.
The maid came to invite, saying that the empress empress had summoned her.
Gu Jiu collected herself, put down the work at hand, and followed the maid to the bedroom.
Along the way, I hardly saw a few people. It seemed that the entire Weiyang Palace had disappeared.
The closer he got to the bedroom, the more disturbed Gu Jiu felt.
She had a bad feeling that the Empress must have come prepared today.
Where is Liu Zhao ready
