With Prince Heng here, things for the Channing family are not easy, and besides, she has no one she can use except Sanqi.
She originally wanted to take advantage of the situation, but who knew that the Ning family's hand could actually reach out to Prince Heng. She really lost her wife and lost her troops.
Fortunately, the hidden danger around her mother has been eliminated, and she has more patience to wait for the person behind it to take action first.
The Sixteenth General checked all the people around Mr.
"Girl, I've checked all the servants around Madam. No one has any medicine on them. I'm afraid you're overthinking it." When Sixteen reported to Gu Mingmou, there was something unconscious in his tone. A bit mocking.
As expected, she was raised by a small family. She is so petty and will be startled when something happens. Those who don't know it think that everyone wants to harm her.
I really don’t understand how the master could fall in love with such a person.
Gu Mingmou asked Sanqi to bring a message to Shiliu, but instead of comforting her, it irritated her even more. She thought that this was a good master, and he acted much more recklessly than when he first came to the Gu family.
After hearing her words, Gu Mingmou paused for a moment while holding the snack, and looked at Shiliu with a half-smile, "I'm sorry to trouble you these days."
"You're welcome, girl, but my subordinates have different responsibilities from Sanqi. If the girl still has such things to do in the future, it's best to say hello to the prince first."
Behind the scenes, she was not qualified to give instructions to her. She only helped Gu Mingmou for the sake of Prince Heng.
Xiuyue, who was nearby, immediately turned bad after hearing Shiliu's words. She just took a step forward, but before she could speak, Gu Mingmou raised her hand to stop her.
Xiuyue glared at Shiliu, then reluctantly stepped aside to give Gu Mingmou a cup of hot tea.
Gu Mingmou twitched the corner of his mouth, "Okay, you go back and rest first."
Shiliu saw Xiuyue's dissatisfaction and was ready to give Gu Mingmou a blow, but who knew she could endure it.
If the other party didn't pick up the fight, she couldn't continue to provoke him, so she could only leave disappointed. As for whether Gu Mingmou would really go to Prince Heng to complain, she did not
Not very worried.
Even if Gu Mingmou wins the prince's favor for a moment, he is just a slutty servant. With the prince's temper, he will definitely not do anything to his subordinates for such a woman. Besides, the main reason why she came to the Gu family was for Gu Mingyue in the second room.
Gu Mingmou didn't know how long she could be proud. Maybe she would be replaced by her younger sister soon.
After she left, Xiuyue said angrily, "Girl, even if she was sent from over there, she is just a servant. Why give in to her everywhere and let her think that you are easy to bully and dare to do it all at once?" Provocation again and again.”
No one is a fool. Shiliu's attitude was so obvious that even Sanqi frowned when she saw it. However, Gu Mingmou's attitude was unclear, so she didn't dare to intervene.
Gu Mingmou was silent for a moment, and finally did not speak.
Even though Shiliu was very resourceful and had done her a big favor, it didn't mean that Gu Mingmou was willing to keep her forever.
A person who knew medicine was hostile to her. She didn't want to have to worry about her life one day.
It's not that easy to just push people back. Shen Guiye sent Sanqi to him. There was no need to send Sixteen again. It wasn't for her that he sent Sixteen here.
Recently, Sanqi had secretly followed Shiliu and indeed discovered that she had visited the second room several times. Since she has another purpose, it will not be so easy for her to send people back.
Shen Guiye indulged her in many cases, but she knew in her heart that it was just because her actions had no impact on him. She was far from important enough to touch the other party's bottom line.
This feeling of letting others control your life is uncomfortable, but it's not unbearable. As long as Shiliu doesn't cross the line, she won't take it to heart.
Sixteen walked out of the door, a proud smile flashed across her face. Gu Mingmou's repeated concessions today made her look down upon her. Thinking of going back to the palace to meet the prince today, her steps couldn't help but become more brisk.
Returning to the palace sixteen times, she thought she would be able to see the prince directly, but who knew that only the palace servants came to see her.
Although she was also someone close to the prince, it was obvious that she was still a little disappointed that he could not see the prince.
Shiliu did not stay in the palace for long, and was quickly sent away. The man who turned around
He rushed to the prince's study.
The study was built in a bamboo garden, and a path paved with bluestones led directly to the secluded place. When I reached the end of the road, I saw a two-story attic deep in the bamboo forest.
The attic door was closed tightly, and four guards in black armor were guarding the outside. Their attire was slightly different from that of the palace guards.
Huang Tong lowered his eyes, walked to a guard guarding the door, and asked in a low voice: "Is the prince inside?"
"Father-in-law, wait a moment, there is someone inside."
Huang Tong felt relieved and stood quietly waiting.
After waiting for a few minutes, the door was pushed open from the inside, and a woman wearing a white gauze dress came out.
The woman glanced at Huang Tong, her eyes flickered slightly, and her steps stopped for a moment.
Huang Tong saw the other party's appearance clearly, and felt convinced. He did not react to Ning Ziruo who suddenly stopped, but simply ignored the other party and walked past her.
Ning Ziruo gritted her teeth when she saw this, looked at the expressionless guard at the gate with some embarrassment, and strode away.
"Your Majesty, this servant is back." Huang Tong walked up to the second floor softly, and Prince Heng stood by the window with his hands behind his hands.
The cool breeze rustled the bamboo leaves, and blew away the dryness of early autumn.
"Um."
"Sixteen brought back news that the second lady of the Gu family seems to be eager to contact the Ning family. During this period, she has sent her maid to the Ning family three times, and once she met Miss Ning Ziruo."
"Where's Gu Mingmou?"
"Sixteen only said that Miss Gu sent her to diagnose Mrs. Gu's pulse and asked her to investigate the people serving Mrs. Gu."
"only these?"
For some reason, Huang Tong suddenly felt a little cold. He raised his head and glanced at his master, who had his back turned, feeling a little confused.
"Yes, that's all."
Shen Guiye looked at the greenery outside the window with a cold expression.
"Go and call Sanqi."
After hearing his master's instructions, Huang Tong was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly realized that he secretly hated himself for giving up the good. The master sent Shiliu there mainly for the eldest daughter of the Gu family, and the investigation of the second daughter was probably incidental.
Who knew that Shiliu would turn his attention to Gu Mingyue, causing his master to feel dissatisfied now.
