"Let's talk. [Your bear heart and leopard courage, dare to secretly replace the sweet soup for Miss Gu's family." In the tent of the eldest princess, the lights were brightly lit all night, and she sat tall on a grand master's chair carved from pear blossom wood , with four confidants standing beside him. On the rug in the center of the tent. Kneeling a little eunuch, rather than saying that he was kneeling, it would be better to say he was lying on the ground.
The dark blue eunuch's uniform behind him has already revealed a dark red water in the light of the candlelight.
The little eunuch's face was pale and his whole body was trembling.
"You are stubborn." Princess Pinghu smiled coldly, "You should kill me and not say anything. Is it true that I can no longer punish you?"
"Returning to Your Highness, everything is small and I can't understand Miss Gu's family." The little eunuch refused to let go, and took all the blame on himself.
What a joke, he, a little eunuch, has any grievances with Gu Yuqi, just because he can't get used to it, he wants to exchange his sweet soup. Princess Pinghu didn't know that the servants were so courageous now. The reason for this is to say it to three-year-old children. He won't believe it.
"Okay, okay, I don't see that you have a backbone." Princess Pinghu laughed out of anger. She clapped her hands, and a guard came in from outside the tent, holding a green leather bundle in his hand.
The little eunuch lying on the ground glanced at the burden, but his whole body trembled even more. He struggled to get up, his eyes were red.
"It's good to recognize this burden." Seeing the little eunuch's reaction like this, Princess Pinghu calmed down. Others don't necessarily mean that others ride on her head, and she won't fight back.
Everyone grew up in the palace since they were young, and the means of rectifying people are worse than others if no one sees them. It just depends on who is willing to pull down that figure to do it.
Maybe it's because she's been kind for a long time, so cats and dogs dare to put their paws under her nose and eat them!
In exchange for the sweet soup given to Gu Yuqi in her tent, he wanted to pour dirty water on her, without even looking at where she came from!
After Liang Shi and Gu Yuqi were sent away, Princess Pinghu coaxed Princess Jingcheng to let Yunyi and Yunke send away the three little girls including Princess Yunhe, and went back to her camp to investigate. If people really don't want to know, unless they do nothing, they will find out the little eunuch in the tea room after a few clicks.
He was the one who changed the tea for Gu Yuqi halfway through.
He was just running errands, how could there be such a precious thing as Ningshenhua, let alone such a large dose. If no one was behind him, she wouldn't believe that Princess Pinghu was killed.
Ningshenhua is also a special product of Daqi, and its rarity is no less than that of Dendrobium dendrobii. If the concubines in the palace want to use some Ningshenhua spices, they have to get special approval from the imperial hospital.
Even if the little eunuch refuses to say anything, Princess Pinghu still has a way to continue the investigation, but she doesn't want to make a big deal out of it. If she goes to the imperial hospital to check the status of the application, it will definitely alarm the doctor, and the current queen will know If she knows it, His Majesty the Emperor will know it too.
It was originally just a harmless little gamble, and there was no loss to anyone, but if it really got big, no one would look good.
Therefore, while Princess Pinghu captured the little eunuch, she also controlled all his fellow countrymen and other people who had come into contact with him.
Sure enough, the little eunuch was tough, but the people he knew were not tough.
The guard took the green leather bundle, walked up to Princess Pinghu, and whispered to Princess Pinghu. Princess Pinghu raised her eyebrows slightly. She looked at her fingers slowly, and then gave the little eunuch a sidelong glance.
"If you say it now, I may still consider giving the contents of this package to your parents." Princess Pinghu said lightly, "If you still insist on killing me, I will not be merciful." Already!" Discussed sarcastically.
"Your Highness... the slave said... the slave said it's fine..." The little eunuch finally couldn't bear the torment in his heart, "I just ask Her Royal Highness to keep her promise and send the money in the bag to the slave's hometown and give it to the slave's parents."
Princess Pinghu snorted coldly, "You really dare to negotiate conditions with Ben Gong, well, Ben Gong is in a good mood now, and you should know that you will not survive, and the money will be given to you." Treat it as your hard-earned money. Don’t worry, I always do what I say, and since I promise you, I will never break my promise, but if you have a half-truth, don’t blame me for going back on my word!”
The little eunuch gritted his teeth, with a pale face, and told the whole story.
It's only three hundred taels of silver, and you can buy off the eunuchs around you. Princess Pinghu suppressed the anger in her heart while listening.
What a princess and concubine, at such a young age, this calculation has hit Aunt Huang.
Speaking of which, this little eunuch is also pitiful. His hometown suffered a disaster. After the winter, his parents sent letters many times to say that the family could no longer survive. His wealth was sent back to his hometown, but a few days ago, he sent a letter saying that his mother fell ill and needed money for medical treatment. He borrowed a lot of money from someone, but it was not enough for medical expenses. His situation happened to be inquired by a maid under the Crown Princess When it arrived, the princess concubine started with this little eunuch, and it was a coincidence that she replaced Gu Yuqi's sweet soup.
"Honestly speaking, is it the princess' maid who came into contact with you?" Princess Pinghu asked calmly.
"Yes, it's all the servants who are next to His Highness the Crown Princess told this slave." After the little eunuch finished speaking, his face turned paler, and he tried his best to make himself kneel down a little more decently, "This servant knows that the mistake I made is already I can't live anymore, it doesn't matter if the slave dies, and I ask Her Royal Highness, for the sake of the slave's filial piety, to send the slave's money to my hometown and hand it into the hands of the slave's parents." After he finished speaking, he respectfully turned to Princess Pinghu Knocked his head. "The slave is willing to lead to death."
Princess Pinghu looked at his thin body for a long time, her eyes flickered for a moment, her brows slightly relaxed, she hooked her fingers to the maid beside her, and the maid approached, Princess Pinghu whispered a few words to the maid, The palace lady understood, stepped forward a few steps, and picked up the little eunuch with one hand. The palace lady walked lightly, and she was actually a connoisseur. She carried the little eunuch and walked out of the tent directly. No one knew where they went .
Princess Pinghu said to the guard, "Just go to his hometown."
After the guards clasped their fists and saluted, they also left the camp.
Princess Pinghu then leaned on the back of the grand master's chair and let out a long sigh.
She rubbed her slightly swollen brows. This matter would actually involve the Crown Princess. She didn't know whether it was the Crown Princess' own intention or His Royal Highness instructed her to do this because she couldn't afford to lose.
After all, it was all her fault to go to the bottom of it. The gamble she made on the spur of the moment almost killed Gu Yuqi. If something really happened to Gu Yuqi here, she might not be able to clean it up.
It was also because Gu Yuqi was a lucky person. Imperial Physician Ning happened to be dragged here by her. If she had changed to another imperial physician, she would be at a loss what to do.
It's just that she said she would give Liang an explanation, but now that the Prince's Mansion is involved, how can she give this explanation
Headache!
Princess Pinghu found out about this matter, she still had a headache, and when the prince returned to his tent, the princess was already waiting there, and in good time brought the fragrant tea that the prince liked to drink.
The news of Gu Yuqi's fainting had already spread throughout the camp. How could the Crown Princess, who had been concerned about the hunting situation, not know about it.
Others only thought that Gu Yuqi had a relapse of the cold, but the Crown Princess knew the real reason well. When the prince came back, there was no joy on his face, which made the princess who was in a good mood feel uneasy.
"His Royal Highness, is the lady of the Gu family all right?" She first tried cautiously.
If Gu Yuqi was really injured, there's no guarantee that Princess Pinghu would investigate the matter. At that time... no, would she have to get rid of that little eunuch first!
Just when the princess was thinking wildly, the prince slowly shook his head, "She was poisoned. It's strange to say, how could she be poisoned by Aunt Huang? Fortunately, Doctor Ning was here and saved her life in time. .”
After hearing this, the princess felt her whole body stiffen, poisoned? There are quite a few Ningshen flowers that she asked people to release, but they are not enough to poison people. Ningshen flowers are not poisonous, but eating too much will make people weak and weak. Don't talk about competing for the first place, even whether you can hunt something is a problem.
How did you get poisoned
"Is Concubine Ai not feeling well?" The prince raised his eyes inadvertently, but found that his wife's face was a little pale, and asked casually.
"No." The Crown Princess came back to her senses, she hurriedly lowered her head, concealed it, and said with a smile, "It's just that I didn't rest at noon."
"Oh." The crown prince nodded without suspicion, "My concubine should pay attention to her health, everything will be smoother outside than in the mansion."
"Yes. Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern." The crown princess felt as if fifteen buckets were pumping water, and she quickly bent her knees, "Your Highness, this concubine has prepared dinner for Your Highness, and this concubine has to go and see Check it out, and leave first."
"En. You go." The prince nodded.
The princess then backed out, and hurriedly called her confidant maid, "Go and find out where the little eunuch is, if..." She gave the maid a look, and the maid nodded, turned and left in a hurry.
In the middle of the night, the princess was a little restless, the maid had been there for too long, and it made her start to jump in fear.
Sure enough, in the middle of the night, the maid came back with a disheartened face, and passed the news that the little eunuch had been captured by Princess Pinghu to the ears of the crown princess.
The Crown Princess was like thunder, her face turned pale with fright, and she broke out in a cold sweat all of a sudden. Just when she was walking around in the tent like a rat with fried fur, the prince came in through the curtain. The princess was only thinking about her own affairs, and she didn't even see the prince standing in front of her.
The crown prince frowned, feeling displeased, but still asked patiently, "What's wrong with my concubine?"
Only then did the princess realize that the prince had already stood in front of her, and she knelt down in fright, "Your highness the prince," she grabbed the hem of the prince's clothes and raised her face, which was already stained with tears. Staggered. "The concubine did something stupid." After thinking about it, she decided to tell His Royal Highness the matter.
"What's the matter?" Seeing his princess crying pear blossoms with rain, the prince's heart softened, he picked her up, and asked softly, "What happened?"
The princess gritted her teeth and told the prince what she had done.
The more the prince heard it, the more ugly his face became, until the princess was sobbing and weeping as she finished speaking, he didn't even know what to blame his wife for!
"You really are!!!" He flicked his sleeves and brushed away the princess who was pulling the hem of his clothes, "You are such a lonely and good princess!" He almost said these words through his teeth, eyebrows Uncontrollable anger! "If you lose, you lose! No matter how poor you are, you can afford the money! You are lucky now, what kind of person is Aunt Huang, you dare to put eye drops on her! You are really afraid that the world will not be chaotic!" After finishing speaking Afterwards, he turned around and was about to leave, but the Crown Princess was shocked and hurriedly pulled out his sleeve, "Where is Your Highness going?"
"Where are you going?" The prince snorted coldly, and pushed Li Shi away, "Naturally to help you deal with the aftermath!"
After speaking, he walked out of his tent angrily, and went to find Princess Pinghu.
