His Highness Liu Yan was obviously stunned.
He obviously didn't expect that Xiao Qin'er would directly push him away regardless of face.
what can he do
Can he squeeze through
A good man doesn't fight a woman.
Even if he is a sick and delicate man, he will not have the same knowledge as Xiao Qin'er.
He would just cover his heart, look pale, and cough twice. It seemed that he had been severely injured, but he held back and kept silent.
Xiao Qin'er: Damn it!
Gu Jiu couldn't hold back anymore, she was about to laugh out loud.
Can't laugh, can't laugh.
There must be no laughing on this occasion, or it will be over.
Empress Dowager Xiao is old and refined.
"You all have a heart. Come, help His Highness to sit up and give him a seat. His Highness is not in good health, how can he keep kneeling."
The palace people took orders.
His Highness Liu Yan coughed lightly, and said: "The grandson is unfilial, and the grandmother is worried."
"Your body is important. Your filial piety is known to the Ai family."
The Third Highness Liu Yan was obediently helped up by the palace servants and sat on the round stool.
Gu Jiu and Ouyang Fu both came forward to pay their respects.
"Queen Mother, granddaughter-in-law greets you."
"Okay, let's all sit and talk. Qin'er is also sitting. You are young and you will have children in the future. How can you kneel for a long time?"
"Granddaughter-in-law is fine."
Empress Dowager Xiao's face was serious, "Don't you even listen to Ai's family?"
Xiao Qin'er lowered her eyebrows and said, "Granddaughter-in-law listens to grandma, so don't be angry, grandma."
Several juniors, sitting on round stools, surrounded the city in a row.
Empress Dowager Xiao smiled, "The Ai family has recovered a lot, so you don't have to worry. Your filial piety has been received by the Ai family."
"I don't know which ruthless person has killed the queen mother." Ouyang Fu blurted out suddenly.
Gu Jiu lowered her head and looked at Ouyang Fu calmly.
Ouyang Fu looked filled with righteous indignation, wishing to rush to the imperial dining room, arrest and slaughter all the imperial cooks that day.
Gu Jiu didn't feel very good.
Xiao Qin'er answered, "Daughter-in-law heard that many people have been arrested in the palace recently. I wonder if we can find out the truth."
Ouyang Fu said: "Sooner or later the truth will come to light, but the Queen Mother has suffered and suffered an indiscriminate disaster."
Xiao Qin'er frowned, "Could it be that someone at Shangshan Supervisor has dirty hands and feet?"
Ouyang Fu said: "This kind of thing can't be said for sure. Knowing people and faces but not knowing the heart. Although the harem has undergone several major cleansings, there is no guarantee that there will be no fish that slipped through the net, and there will be no guarantee that no one will hold a grudge."
What do these words mean
A fish that slipped through the net? When did it leak
With a grudge? Why hate.
Ouyang Fu's words hit a wide range. Are you going to start a big case in the palace
Empress Dowager Xiao looked calm, Gu Jiu was not sure if her old man was affected.
She said aloud: "Don't say a few words, the Queen Mother needs to rest. Your Majesty will send someone to investigate this matter."
Ouyang Fu looked nervous, "Empress Dowager, don't take offense at grandson's daughter-in-law's unintentional remarks."
"That's all. You are all filial, how can the Ai family blame you."
After speaking, the queen mother slightly closed her eyes.
The nanny stepped forward, "The Queen Mother is tired, everyone, please come to pay your respects another day."
"Then we're leaving."
Several people filed away.
After leaving the Palace of Compassion and Ning, Third Highness Liu Yan glared at Xiao Qin'er, flung his sleeves and left, and went to Xingqing Palace to pay his respects.
Xiao Qin'er gritted her teeth, "What does he mean? What exactly does he mean? A big man, imitating the same methods as women, does he want face?"
"Fourth sibling, don't say a few words. After all, he is His Highness." Gu Jiu reminded Xiao Qin'er in a low voice.
Xiao Qin'er was very annoyed, "I think he has already been spoiled by Mrs. Cai, and he is petty like a bitch."
Gu Jiu reprimanded softly, "Don't talk nonsense. If this word gets out, your Majesty and the Queen Mother will punish you."
While speaking, Gu Jiu looked at Ouyang Fu intentionally or unintentionally.
Ouyang Fu echoed Gu Jiu's words, and persuaded her from her background: "Fourth sibling, don't be fussy with the third highness. He is sick now, so he is naturally different from others."
Xiao Qin'er snorted, "I'll go to Weiyang Palace first, sister-in-law, hurry up too."
Xiao Qin'er took the lead to leave.
Gu Jiu smiled at Ouyang Fu apologetically, "Second sibling, don't mind."
"The relationship between the sister-in-law and the fourth sibling is much better than before." Ouyang Fu said meaningfully.
Gu Jiu has a frank face, "Is it okay? I go to the palace with her every day, and we go to the mother to say hello together. After getting in touch with a lot, we will naturally become familiar with each other. On the other hand, the second younger sibling has become more sensitive since you were pregnant. You have thought of everything that other people can't think of. It seems that this child must be a brother."
Ouyang Fu stroked her abdomen lightly, "I don't believe that my sister-in-law can't think of what I said. It's just that my sister-in-law likes to keep a low profile and doesn't like to show off. As for me, I don't think as far as my sister-in-law. Naturally, I say what comes to my mind."
Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, "Second brother didn't tell me, who is holding grudges?"
Ouyang Fu laughed, "I don't know who is holding grudges in my heart. We know all the things in this palace, but we don't know anything about it."
Gu Jiu smiled and nodded, "Second brother and sister are right. So it's better to keep your mouth shut about matters in the palace."
Ouyang Fu lowered her head and smiled, "Sister-in-law is right. It's all my fault, the mouth is faster than the brain."
Gu Jiu watched Ouyang Fu leave, and she guessed in her heart that what Ouyang Fu said today was her idea, or Shen Xianfei instructed her to say so.
…
When I arrived at Weiyang Palace, I saw the palace servants kneeling on the ground wiping the floor.
The water in the bucket was cloudy and dark, reminiscent of something bad.
Gu Jiu's heart sank, and he asked, "What happened?"
"Madam Qi, someone touched the wall to die, shed a lot of blood, and stained the ground. The servant was ordered to clean the ground."
Gu Jiu hurriedly asked, "When is it?"
"Just, it just happened."
"Is the person still alive? Is it the maid or the little yellow gate?"
"It's a female history elder sister who has been serving in front of the empress. She is still alive, but she doesn't know if she can survive."
Gu Jiu's mood sank.
Did Queen Pei find out the traitor
That day Empress Pei held a banquet, and indeed someone was deliberately guiding them, and then took the opportunity to attack Empress Dowager Xiao.
Gu Jiu walked into the hall.
Both Liu Yi and Xiao Qin'er were there.
Empress Pei's face was ashen, with anger burning in her eyes.
Xiao Qin'er spoke quickly, "Sister-in-law really expected that someone betrayed the master in Weiyang Palace. This matter must not be taken lightly."
Liu Yi said softly: "The most important thing now is to find out who is behind Wu Nushi."
"People are in a coma now, so how to ask. If you want me to say, continue to investigate along the line of Wu Nushi." Xiao Qin'er came up with an idea.
Empress Dowager Pei was noncommittal about what the two said.
Gu Jiu coughed lightly, and focused everyone's eyes on herself.
"After reporting to my mother, my daughter-in-law thinks that the next thing should be handled by His Majesty. Interrogating Wu Nvshi and investigating the relationship behind Wu Nvshi, His Majesty has professionals there, and they can deal with it faster. This move can also win His Majesty's attention." The trust of the mother shows that the queen mother is open and selfless."
Xiao Qin'er objected: "Hand over the person, and the subsequent affairs will be out of control. What should I do?"
With a sullen face, Gu Jiu said: "It's about the Empress Dowager, no matter right or wrong, the Empress Dowager should not get too involved in this case. It is the best policy to withdraw in time to show her innocence.
If it was not the empress dowager who happened this time, but the concubine, the empress mother would investigate deeply, and the daughter-in-law would never object. But it is about the queen mother, and the daughter-in-law thinks that she should be more cautious. "
Liu Yi looked around, and then said: "Sister-in-law is right. It's about the Empress Dowager, so we must be cautious."
Empress Pei nodded secretly.
In her selfishness, she wanted to continue the investigation and find out who was behind the scenes. She had to peel off the opponent's skin.
But it is about the Empress Dowager, if she continues to intervene in the investigation, will the Empress Dowager believe her investigation results? This
Will Emperor Wende believe her innocence
Would the mother and son think that she played a trick and pretended to be innocent
Empress Pei didn't dare to gamble, she was afraid of losing the bet.
So she made a decision, "Wen Zhong, take him to Xingqing Palace to meet His Majesty. When His Majesty asks, report everything in detail, and don't hide it."
"The old slave complies."
Eunuch Wen bowed to accept the order and hurried to take care of things.
Xiao Qin'er was a little dissatisfied, "Mother, don't you really want to investigate this matter?"
Empress Pei heaved a sigh of relief, and leaned softly on the Arhat couch, "At this point, there is no need for me to continue to investigate. Everyone just wait for the news from Xingqing Palace."
Liu Yi said: "As long as you can prove your mother's innocence, it doesn't matter if you can find out who is behind the scenes."
related.
Empress Pei was eager to know who was killing her.
Emperor Wende had only been on the throne for a few months, whoever was in such a hurry couldn't bear to do something to her.
However, she also knew that this matter should not be rushed.
What she has is patience, she will wait slowly until the day when the truth comes out.
"This time the eldest daughter-in-law has contributed a lot. Boss daughter-in-law, let me tell you what you want, and I will definitely satisfy you."
Empress Pei looked at Gu Jiu with great satisfaction.
Xiao Qin'er gritted her silver teeth, but she still wanted to congratulate her on the face: "My sister-in-law is very kind and has a heart, and she can always think of situations that others ignore. It's really amazing. The queen mother must reward my sister-in-law heavily."
Empress Pei nodded, she naturally wanted to reward Gu Jiu heavily.
Gu Jiu said with a smile: "The empress loves her daughter-in-law so much, why don't she give some gold and silver vulgar objects, and the daughter-in-law saves for Brother Yu."
"Hahaha… "
Gu Jiu's request was unexpected and expected. Empress Pei laughed out loud, her mood was delicate.
"I know that Brother Yu likes gold and silver utensils. Come here, pick out gold and silver utensils without the imperial mark and send them to Brother Yu. As a grandmother, I have the responsibility to save for Brother Yu."
Gu Jiu smiled happily, "Thank you, Queen Mother. Queen Mother is more considerate than daughter-in-law."
Gold and silver utensils without imperial markings are not hindered if they are given away or melted and recast.
If there is an imperial mark, it can only be placed in the warehouse to shed dust. It can neither be given away nor used as money.
Empress Pei not only gave a gift to Brother Yu, but also gave a gift to Xiao Qiner's son and Ouyang Fu's daughter.
It's just that Brother Yu's portion is doubled.
Back at the palace, Xiao Qin'er complained to Liu Yi, "The queen mother was generous to brother Yu, and gave two sets of gold and silver utensils. The eldest brother is obviously the eldest son, but he only got one set, and it was a small one. .”
Liu Yi frowned slightly, a little impatiently, "You know that the Queen Mother rewarded Brother Yu for the purpose of rewarding sister-in-law for her efforts this time. The older brother and the younger sister are both incidental, and they have a set of gold less than Brother Yu. Shouldn't silverware?"
Xiao Qin'er snorted, "You can think about it."
Liu Yi was dissatisfied, "It doesn't make sense to you. Sometimes you are too petty, you don't like other people's kindness, and you just want to put on a magnanimous appearance, so you don't feel uncomfortable if you don't agree with your appearance."
Xiao Qin'er burst into tears, "I'm not what I look like, and who am I wronging myself for? Besides, don't you just look the same? You're not the same."
Liu Yi snorted coldly, "But I never complain."
Xiao Qin'er was furious, "I know, you just dislike me. I'm a woman and I like to complain by nature, why don't you let me complain. Liu Yi, you bastard."
"you shut up!"
Liu Yi's face was livid, "You'd better control your mouth, don't speak freely all day long, dare to say anything. If you can't control yourself, I will ask my mother-in-law to discipline you."
"Are you trying to force me to death? How old is the child, and you humiliate me like this, have you ever thought about what the child will think after seeing it?"
"His Highness is too lazy to talk nonsense with you."
After speaking, Liu Yi shook his sleeves and left.
Xiao Qin'er burst into tears.
The servant girl wanted to comfort her, but she was scolded by Xiao Qin'er as soon as she started.
Xiao Qin'er was tired from crying, so she lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
After sleeping, he even developed a low fever.
The imperial doctor was invited to check, and the imperial doctor said: "Madam has been pregnant for a month, and today's stimulation will cause a low-grade fever."
Xiao Qin'er is pregnant
Liu Yi couldn't believe it at first, and then he was ecstatic.
The couple has been working hard, but there has been no movement before, and they almost gave up.
I didn't expect to plant flowers deliberately but not to bloom, but to plant willows and willows unintentionally to make shade.
When they stopped thinking about having a baby so much, Xiao Qin'er was pregnant.
Ha ha…
Liu Yi was overjoyed.
