"Blood, a lot of blood!"
Xu Cairen yelled and pointed at Wu Meiren.
"Wu Meiren is bleeding profusely."
"What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you hurry and carry Wu Meiren back to the room."
King Ning was furious.
The servants were at a loss, lifted Wu Meiren, and placed her in the wing.
Wu Meiren broke out in a cold sweat from the pain, her face was distorted, and she kept shouting, "My child, my child. My lord, save our child."
"Call the doctor quickly."
King Ning held Wu Meiren's hand and entered the wing room together, "Hold on, the imperial doctor will be here soon."
Wu Meiren was in so much pain that she couldn't speak, she shook her head again and again, tears streaming down her cheeks.
Ning Wang looked distressed.
Mrs. Pei followed into the wing room, "What's going on? When did Wu Meiren become pregnant? Why didn't anyone report to my concubine?"
Concubine Shen and Concubine Luo shook their heads together, expressing their ignorance.
Pei looked at the other beauties again.
Everyone also shook their heads, expressing that they did not know about Wu Meiren's pregnancy.
King Ning suddenly roared angrily: "What are you asking? I just knew she was pregnant. Why do you ask so many questions? Let me out."
Pei was furious, "My lord, this matter..."
"Shut up! I know exactly what you want to say, you go out first. I will explain this to you afterwards."
Nanny Qin, her confidant, tugged at Pei's sleeve and shook her head slightly at her.
Mrs. Pei snorted, and flung her sleeves out of the wing.
Gu Jiu stood at the door, and for a moment, she almost wanted to follow in.
It was Nanny Fang who held her back, and she woke up.
This is Wang's mansion, not Gu's mansion.
Wu Meiren was pregnant with Luohong, and Princess Pei didn't know about it beforehand, so it was quite strange.
She cannot participate in this muddy water.
At some point, Liu Zhao came to Gu Jiu's side.
He said to her: "You go back to your room first, I'll go back later."
Gu Jiu asked, "Is it appropriate for me to leave now?"
Liu Zhao squeezed her hand, "It's inconvenient for you to stay for the next thing. Listen to me, you go back to your room first."
Gu Jiu thinks about it too, as a daughter-in-law, it is naturally inconvenient for her to participate in Prince Ning's inner house affairs.
She said to Liu Zhao: "I'll go back to my room first. You go back early, and accompany me back to the door tomorrow morning."
Liu Zhao gave a rare smile, "Don't worry, we won't miss the business."
Gu Jiu took the maid and prepared to go back to her room to rest.
At the gate of the hospital, she met Imperial Physician Hu and Imperial Physician Wang who hurried over.
Gu Jiu could understand the arrival of Imperial Physician Hu. Why did Physician Wang come
As far as she knew, Imperial Physician Wang was good at surgery, but she hadn't heard that she was also good at obstetrics and gynecology.
Time was running short, and with only time to nod, Imperial Physicians Zhu and Imperial Physician Wang hurried into the Jinxiu Pavilion.
Gu Jiu stood at the gate of the courtyard, vaguely heard Princess Pei interrogating the maid beside Wu Meiren.
Gu Jiu said to the servants beside him, "Let's go back."
It's better for her to stay far away from this muddy water.
After returning to the upper room in the east courtyard, Gu Jiu was ready to go to bed and rest after washing up.
The past few days have really exhausted her. She didn't even have time to get to know the servants serving Liu Zhao.
Strange places, strange houses, strange people, big weddings, rendezvous, returning home, one thing after another, so busy that there is no time to catch your breath.
Now, she just wants to go to bed, close her eyes and have a good rest.
But really when she was lying on the bed, closed her eyes, and couldn't fall asleep again.
One picture after another flashed in her mind.
One moment it was Jiang Yan, another moment it was Wu Meiren, and Liu Zhao also came to make trouble.
Nanny Fang waited beside Gu Jiu, "Madam can't sleep?"
Gu Jiu simply sat up, "Is the Jinxiu Pavilion finished?"
Nanny Fang said softly: "The maidservant has asked Xiao Cui to inquire, but Xiao Cui hasn't come back yet, presumably it's not over yet."
Gu Jiu bit her lip, there were still too few people around her. In such a huge palace, it is unrealistic to rely on Xiaocui alone to inquire about the news.
She said directly: "I need to add a few people to my side. The father-in-law who was a servant in the palace mentioned by the mother last time, what's the situation now?"
Mother Fang hurriedly said: "It's still the same. If Madam likes him, can I ask the Shaofu to send him to Madam tomorrow?"
Gu Jiu said: "Let's add two more people. In such a huge palace, there are only a few more people, just a few messages."
"What madam said is true. If the servants are going to do this, they must choose honest and honest people."
At this time, Xiaocui came back.
She braved the cold wind and returned to the room with a frozen look on her face.
Qingmei brought her a hot towel, wiped her face and hands.
Xiao Cui asked, "Is Madam asleep?"
"Not yet. Talking to Mammy."
"Then I'll go in and see the girl."
"Drink hot tea before going, be careful not to bring the cold to the girl."
"It's Sister Qingmei who is more considerate."
Xiao Cui drank the hot tea, her whole body was warm, and then she entered the bedroom.
"Ma'am, the maidservant is back."
"Come in. What's going on?"
Gu Jiu waved at Xiao Cui.
Xiao Cui sat down on the footstool, and then said: "Wu Meiren had a miscarriage, and she was said to be two months pregnant. Except for Wu Meiren and her personal maid, no one knew about her pregnancy."
Gu Jiu said: "Since no one knows that Wu Meiren is pregnant, it is possible that her miscarriage today was just an accident?"
Xiaocui nodded again and again, "The princess also said the same thing. But the servants looked at it, and the prince didn't seem to believe it. The imperial doctor said that Wu Meiren had eaten contradictory food, which caused intra-abdominal bleeding, and then she had a miscarriage. But what Wu Meiren ate Drinking is what she usually eats, there is no problem."
Nanny Fang looked at Gu Jiu, "What does Madam think about this matter?"
Gu Jiu thought for a while and said, "Whether the news of Wu Meiren's pregnancy has been spread, in fact, you should know by asking the maids around Wu Meiren. The maids around her know her situation best."
Mother Fang said: "Ma'am, what you mean is that if someone uses the banquet tonight to harm Miss Wu, the news must be spread by the maid next to Beauty Wu."
Gu Jiu nodded, "After Wu Meiren was pregnant, she didn't have a baby day, so she didn't need to change the laundry. Does the maid around her know? The laundry of underwear can't be done by the maid."
"Ma'am is right."
Gu Jiu asked Xiaocui, "Did the princess and the prince have a dispute?"
Xiaocui nodded, "The princess seems to be suspecting that Miss Wu is unfaithful."
Gu Jiu was greatly surprised, "How could the princess suspect Wu Meiren's infidelity? Where does this come from?"
Mother Fang suddenly thought of something, "This servant may know the reason."
"Speak quickly, Mammy."
Nanny Fang thought about it and said, "As far as I know, there have been no additions to the palace for more than ten years. The concubines around the prince seem to have remained silent all these years."
I see. For more than ten years in the mansion, no woman has been heard of being pregnant. This will suddenly reveal that Wu Meiren is pregnant, no wonder Princess Pei suspects Wu Meiren of infidelity.
Gu Jiu hurriedly asked Xiao Cui, "What did the lord say?"
Xiao Cui shook her head, "My servant doesn't know. The princess has a loud voice, so this servant just listened to her. Afterwards, the voice became smaller and smaller, and the steward came to drive people away again, so this servant didn't hear anything."
Gu Jiu understood, and said to Xiao Cui approvingly: "It's very good to get some important news. It's getting late, you go down and rest first."
"Madam also rest early."
…
In the study room of Bixi Pavilion, there are only two people, King Ning and Imperial Physician Wang.
The light in the room was dim, and King Ning's figure became distorted on the wall, looking a little hideous.
He asked in a low voice: "Doctor Wang, how is my health?"
Physician Wang examined King Ning's pulse, and then he thought about it and said, "My lord's body has improved a lot after taking care of him for so many years, and it is possible to conceive a woman."
"Really? Why is Wu Meiren the only one who conceived?"
Imperial Physician Wang said: "Wei Chen checked Wu Meiren's body. One is that she is young, and the other is that she is in good health. So Wu Meiren can conceive."
King Ning's expression changed, "So this king's body has completely recovered?"
Physician Wang nodded, "It's almost ready. But the prince must not take good care of himself, and don't be addicted to women."
"Ha ha… "
King Ning laughed loudly, "This king knows the seriousness. I would like to thank Imperial Physician Wang for taking good care of this king's body these years, and for keeping a secret for this king. Please continue to keep this matter secret, and don't reveal a word to His Majesty." "
Physician Wang was a little surprised, "Your Majesty wants to hide it from His Majesty?"
King Ning's eyes were sharp, and he stared at Imperial Physician Wang, "Aren't you willing to keep a secret for this king?"
Imperial Physician Wang shook his head again and again, "I would like to follow the lord's order, and must keep my mouth shut. It's just that Wu Meiren's pregnancy is reported to the palace, and His Majesty may ask about it."
King Ning chuckled, "If Your Majesty asks about this, tell the truth."
"Tell me the truth?" Imperial Physician Wang was bewildered.
King Ning nodded, "Except for the matter related to this king's body, you should tell the truth. Including the suspicion of the princess, you can also tell your majesty the truth."
Physician Wang was inexplicably surprised, "But in this way, the prince's reputation will be damaged."
She would rather bear the burden of being cuckolded by a woman than admit that her health has improved. The thoughts of royal family members really cannot be understood by ordinary people.
King Ning didn't care, "I don't care if I have a mere reputation. Besides, does this king still have a reputation? In short, you just follow the requirements of this king. After everything is done, this king will naturally have your benefits." .”
"I obey. If the prince has no other orders, I will leave."
"Go."
The servant Chang En ordered someone to send Imperial Physician Wang out, and then went into the study to report, "My lord, the Eldest Young Master is asking to see you."
"It's so late, what is he doing here without going back to his room?"
"I don't know."
King Ning snorted coldly, "Tell him to come in."
Liu Zhao was invited into the study.
Everything in the study was as usual, if I hadn't seen Imperial Physician Wang come out of the study with my own eyes, I would have thought that Imperial Physician Wang had never been here.
King Ning sat on the couch, lazily, "It's so late, why are you asking to see me?"
Liu Zhao sat down on the chair and said, "Grandfather asked my father to enter the palace early in the morning. My grandfather also said that if I don't see my father tomorrow morning, I will let the Jin Wuwei come to the door."
"Hey, the old man has no other tricks except the Jinwu Guard. But this king is really afraid of the Jinwu Guard. Did the old man say why he summoned the King?"
"Naturally, it is to settle the inappropriate words and deeds of the father during the guarding of the imperial mausoleum."
King Ning looked disgusted, "The old man is really fast. He just drank and muttered a few words casually, and the old man will settle accounts after the autumn. Humph!"
Liu Zhao reminded: "Father Wang Minger remember to get up early."
"Okay, it's just you talking. I heard that the prince is seriously ill? When you see the prince, how far is he from death?"
Liu Zhao said solemnly: "My son is not a doctor, so I don't know how much life the prince has left."
King Ning took a sip of his wine, "The crown prince really has a long life. At the beginning, those people said that once Empress Cui Ruizhen died, the crown prince would be abolished within half a year. It's been almost a year, and the crown prince is still sitting firmly in that seat." position. Those people are really incompetent."
Liu Zhao said with a serious face: "The emperor's grandfather still has a little old love for the prince."
"The king knows. So we have to wait for the opportunity, until we can hit the opportunity with one blow. You should pay more attention to the movement inside and outside the capital, and report immediately if you have something to do."
"The son obeys. Does the father have any other orders?"
King Ning stared at Liu Zhao, "I heard that Fang Shaojian, who used to serve Ruizhen Empress Cui, is now hiding in the East Palace. Is this true?"
Liu Zhao nodded, "It is basically certain that Fang Shaojian is hiding in the East Palace."
King Ning asked, "Was it the crown prince or the crown princess?"
"What the princess did."
King Ning nodded, "My king guesses that it should also be the work of the Crown Princess. The Crown Prince doesn't have the courage, otherwise he wouldn't be fooled by the officials below. The Crown Princess..."
King Ning hesitated to speak, he almost married the Crown Princess Sun. Unfortunately, the Sun family chose the prince and gave up on him.
King Ning laughed, why bother with what happened decades ago.
He waved his hand at Liu Zhao, "Back off. My king must be quiet."
Liu Zhao stood up, bowed and retreated.
When he came outside, he told Chang En, "Tomorrow morning, the royal father will enter the palace to face the saint. Remember to wake up the royal father, don't be late."
"Your obedience, will you send someone to take you back to your room?"
"No. Take good care of your father."
Lin Shuping walked in front with a lantern, lighting the way for Liu Zhao.
Liu Zhao walked in the palace garden in silence.
He looked up, and it was a rare day, but there was a moon.
I don't know if Gu Jiu fell asleep.
She must have been exhausted these days, and according to her temper, she would definitely not wait for him to go back, and would go to bed early.
He played with the wrench in his hand, did Gu Jiu really care about her status as the grandson's wife
Regardless of whether Gu Jiu cared about the identity of the emperor's grandson's wife, she was already married to him. The two of them will be tied together for the rest of their lives, and neither can escape.
When I arrived at the east courtyard, I went to the upper room.
As soon as the gatekeeper woman sees him, she will go to the upper room to report.
He stopped the gatekeeper lady, "Don't wake Madam."
He walked into the upper room silently, where several servant girls were waiting.
"The servant has seen the young master."
"Is the lady asleep?"
Qingmei nodded, "Madam just lay down."
Liu Zhao went straight to the bedroom.
Gu Jiu had just finished flipping through two pages of the book and was about to fall asleep when she heard movement from the door.
She opened her eyes and saw that she happened to meet Liu Zhao's eyes.
Looking at each other, no one spoke for a while.
It was Liu Zhao who broke the silence, "Why is there no one?"
"Getting ready for bed. Why are you back so late?"
Gu Jiu sat up from the bed and asked.
Liu Zhao unbuttoned his belt and took off his outer robe.
"I had a conversation with my father, so I came back late."
Liu Zhao only wore his underwear and sat down on the bed.
He held Gu Jiu's hand and gently stroked Gu Jiu's slender fingers.
"Today in Ganlu Palace, is that court lady one of yours?"
It really is to overturn the old account.
Gu Jiu thought about it and said, "She used to be my maid, but now she's not mine."
Liu Zhao raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, "Since she is your maid, why did she enter the palace again?"
Gu Jiu said: "Her name is Jiang Yan. When she was in the northwest, she sold herself to the Governor's Mansion. I saw that she was good-looking, so I wanted her.
Although she is a maid, she is ambitious and has ambitions in her heart. I wanted to help her, and wanted to see how high she could climb, so I dragged my relationship and sent her to the capital.
I also didn't expect that she would work as an errand in Ganlu Palace, and she would be the lowest sweeping girl. When I saw her today, I was surprised myself.
I thought that with her beauty, if I make good use of it, I might really be able to climb up. "
Hearing this, Liu Zhao smiled, "You can't climb up the palace just by looking good."
Gu Jiu nodded, "I understand this truth now, but I thought things were too simple in the past."
Liu Zhao moved closer to Gu Jiu, and the breaths of the two were intertwined.
"You sent Jiang Yan to the palace, didn't you send her away because you were afraid of her beauty?"
Gu Jiu gave her a blank look, "Am I that kind of person? Or, did you take a fancy to Jiang Yan's beauty? How about I ask her for you tomorrow?"
"Little vinegar jar, did I say I liked her?"
"Hmph! Ask Jiang Yan as soon as you come back, who knows what you're thinking." Gu Jiu deliberately picked on him.
Liu Zhao lowered his head and smiled muffledly, "Jiang Yan is working in Ganlu Palace, is it really a mistake?"
"Of course. Do you think I have the ability to control the personnel arrangements in the palace? If I have such a great ability, why should I be insulted today?"
