"Tell me!"
"He concealed such a large sum of money from the prince. If he secretly gave the money to the wise prince, then the prince... would be in danger!"
"Okay... okay... okay..."
King Rui was so shocked that he took a few steps back and smiled coldly, "I want him to eat it and spit it out."
Yu Qing took a step forward and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, it's not time to fall out yet. We must be polite first and then fight."
King Rui understood the profound meaning of these words. The old King of Qi knew many things about him, so it was definitely not the best idea to have a stalemate rashly.
"In your opinion, what should we do?"
Yu Qing thought: "My lord, why not test it first? As long as the old King Qi is willing to hand over the treasure, my lord will turn a blind eye."
"What if he refuses?"
"What..." Yu Qing's expression tightened, and a fierce light shot out of his eyes, "Then... we can't keep it!"
These words touched King Rui's heart. He rolled his eyes and sneered: "Let the queen come out and try it out. If he really has second thoughts, huh, I would rather destroy this old dog than never Let him be used by the third child."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The next day.
The queen's request to invite Princess Qi to the palace was conveyed to Prince Qi's mansion.
The old princess put on her court clothes unhurriedly and entered the palace from the south gate.
In Yichun Palace.
Empress Qin had already been waiting for everyone to sit down. She didn't say any greetings and just said straight to the point: "I invite the old princess to come over because I want to ask you something."
Princess Lao Qi bowed slightly and said, "If you have anything to say, please just ask. I will tell you everything I know."
Empress Qin stroked the phoenix hairpin on her head and spoke after a while, "I heard that the prince went to the south a few days ago?" The old princess' heart skipped a beat and she respectfully replied: "Go back to your Majesty, the palace has some business in the south. In the past few years, the palace has been too lazy to take care of it, and the scoundrel has become more and more rampant, making false accounts to fool the master. This time it was really not good, so the prince got angry and asked the prince to take care of it.
Down. "
A smile appeared on the corner of Queen Qin's lips, and she said meaningfully: "According to the rules, servants who fool the master should be beaten to death. The prince is not soft-hearted this time."
The old princess didn't know what the meaning of these words was, so she could only follow the words: "I beat a few to death with random sticks."
"It should be so!"
Empress Qin picked up the tea cup, moistened her lips, and said, "I heard that the prince got a lot of good things when he returned to the south?"
The old princess's face changed slightly, "I did bring some specialties from the south. I'll wait until I've sorted them out. I'll order someone to bring some to the Queen for a taste."
Humph, the show was really well performed. If I hadn’t already known about it, I would have been deceived by you.
Empress Qin no longer had the patience to beat around the bush, put the tea cup aside, and said seriously: "How did I hear that the prince brought back to Beijing not local products, but boxes of gold and silver!"
The old princess was so shocked that her hands and feet were cold.
After a few cold rains, the parasol trees fell and rustled down. The tree tops were already quite bare, except for the branches and vines, only the thick branches could be seen.
In the Imperial Hospital, Qingguan was holding a medical book, but his eyes fell outside the window.
Ah Li had just summoned the matter, and things were progressing step by step in an orderly manner. All people and things were under control.
If the predictions were correct, the old Princess Qi should be called into the palace at this moment. I don’t know what methods the queen will use to test and question her. With the old princess’ ability, she should be able to handle it.
In this way, he seems to be one step closer to the truth six years ago.
At this moment, someone came to the hospital.
"Female Doctor Gu, the queen has invited me."
Qingguan's heart froze, and after her expression changed several times, she picked up the medical bag and walked out calmly.
Qingguan stood at the gate of Yichun Palace, the wind blew up and was biting.
Qiu Ju brought a cup of tea over and said with an apologetic look: "Female doctor, please be quiet for a moment. The queen is talking to the old Princess Qi at the moment."
Qingguan took the tea cup and said calmly: "It's okay."
"The female doctor has such a good temper, no wonder even the Queen likes her." Qiu Ju had nothing to say.
Qingguan smiled and didn't answer. She is a queen, she is a medical officer, how can she lose her temper for the sake of her job
Suddenly, a little palace maid hurried out and said, "Female doctor, come to me quickly. The old lady fainted."
Qingguan's expression became solemn and he hurried in.
At this moment, the old lady was completely surrounded.
"Get out of here quickly!"
Qingguan shouted fiercely, holding his pulse with one hand and opening his eyelids with the other to take a look. Immediately, she took out the silver needle and inserted it into the acupuncture point.
The strange thing is that after just one injection, the old concubine suddenly woke up. After turning her eyes in a circle on Qingguan's face, she struggled to get up and tremblingly tried to kneel down. A maid was busy beside her to support her.
"Queen, please retire."
Empress Qin did not get up, she was still sitting at the top with a cold expression, "Good go, old concubine."
The old princess bit her silver teeth secretly, looked deeply at Qingwan, then staggered away.
Qingguan lowered his head, understanding in his heart, and respectfully stepped forward to salute the queen.
"What's wrong with the Queen?"
The queen's face was slightly green, she suppressed the anger in her heart and said forcefully: "Female Doctor Gu, please step back. I feel much better now."
Qingguan nodded, without making any movement, stood up and saluted, "Qingguan, please leave."
When they left, Empress Qin became furious. She swept her sleeves and the tea cup fell down. "What an old witch, with a mouth as tight as a river clam. I want to see what Prince Qi wants to do." ?”
The queen was angry, no one came forward, and everyone in the hall fell silent.
Queen Qin took a few deep breaths and said sternly: "Come here, send a message to Prince Rui's Mansion..."
General Qingguan walked a few feet away, and when he heard the movement behind him, his feet did not stop.
The queen invited the old princess to ask about the money.
The old princess had a deep mind and must have been very tight-lipped. When she was forced to panic, she used a move to pretend to be stunned.
Unexpectedly, she was right next to her. Once the needle went in, the old princess couldn't bear it and had to wake up.
Otherwise, there would be no need to gouge it out so harshly with one glance.
With the queen's pressure, the old Prince Qi's palace was afraid that he would take action, so the smart thing was to kill the three Gu family members to silence them.
After a long silence, she sighed softly, "Silver Needle!"
"What are your orders, Miss?"
"Go to Prince Shou's Mansion and talk to the prince. On the other side of the prison, you can't relax for a moment. The show is reaching its climax!"
Yinzhen understood, "Yes, Miss."
Qingguan waited for the people to leave, then he looked up at the sky with a smile on his lips. The old King of Qi and the King of Rui are going back and forth with each other. With such methods, I don’t know who is better.
"Miss Sixth!" A voice that she least wanted to hear sounded from behind, warm and mellow.
Qingguan looked back, and a few feet away, Su Ziyu came walking in a moon-white robe, with a touch of concern on the handsome and elegant face.
When Qingguan was sizing up Su Ziyu's Si, Su Ziyu was also sizing up her.
Different from what he imagined, her eyes were green, her expression seemed tired, and the look on her eyebrows was far less bright than before.
The two looked at each other, but neither spoke.
After a long while, Su Ziyu clasped her fists and said, "Sixth Miss, I don't know about my mother's illness..."
Qingguan was slightly shocked. I have been busy with the Gu family these days, and I have completely forgotten about this matter.
Counting the days, I haven't been to that mansion for more than twenty days.
She never returned the gift, her eyes were lowered and she said: "I broke the promise, let's go, go now."
Su Ziyu looked at the green color in her eyes and said, "In this case, Miss Lao Liu is here."
Qingguan glanced at his face, her heart was as calm as water, and she turned and left.
After leaving the palace and getting on the carriage, the clatter of horse hooves struck people's hearts.
Qingguan lifted the curtain, his eyes fell on the moon-white figure on the horse, and his thoughts wandered between reality and past lives.
Su Ziyu was keenly aware of a line of sight behind her, and couldn't help but turn around to stare, but only saw the slightly swaying curtain of the sedan.
He stared for a long time and felt something weighing heavily on his heart.
The backyard of Su Mansion.
Ye held the Buddhist beads in her hand, put down the scriptures, and sighed, "That girl hasn't been here for a long time."
Qisu put away the scriptures, put the ginseng tea into Ye's hands, and said, "Madam, the three masters of the Gu family are in prison. I'm afraid the sixth lady is busy with other things."
Ye said "Oh" and stopped talking.
Seeing that she was not in a good mood, Qi Su did not dare to say anything. She picked up the needlework basket on the pit and started a few stitches when she heard Mrs. Ye say: "The Gu family will not end well."
Ye's voice was low and old, which startled Qi Su. She hurriedly whispered, "Madam, you can't say such things carelessly."
"The rewards of good and evil follow each other like a shadow; the cycle of cause and effect in the three lives is never lost. No one can escape, and the same goes for the Su family."
Qisu was shocked and quickly interrupted her conversation: "Madam, I'm going to see if the medicine is ready."
After opening the curtain and going out, she looked up and saw Qingguan walking over. Qisu turned back overjoyed, "Madam, Miss Six is here."
Ye's eyes were empty at first, but after hearing the news, he suddenly stood up, hurriedly put on his shirt and said, "Quickly, help me to welcome you."
Qisu smiled and said: "We are already at the front door. I will help Madam up."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qingguan was already inside. Seeing Ye coming out, he took two quick steps and held her down.
Ye's eyes moved slightly, and after staying on Qingguan for a moment, he said, "I have actually lost weight."
Qingguan never thought that Ye's first words would be like this. She was silent for a moment and said: "Madam's face doesn't look good either. Sit down and I'll check Madam's pulse."
Mr. Ye smiled, his old face vaguely showing the look of the past. Qingguan tried not to look at her face and focused on diagnosing her pulse.
"Madam, have you taken good medicine these days?"
When Qi Su saw Miss Six looking at her, she hurriedly said: "Three meals a day, never miss a meal."
Qingguan frowned, glanced at Mr. Ye calmly, and said, "Madam's medicine must be delicious. I'll go outside and write a prescription for Madam."
"My child, don't leave in a hurry, let's talk a little bit." Ye suddenly took the initiative to hold her back.
Qingguan sighed in his heart and said, "That's fine. Qisu, go and see if Madam's medicine is ready. I'll feed Madam the medicine myself."
"Hey, slave, let's go now!"
Su Ziyu stood under the window, watching the old man and the young man in the room talking in low voices, feeling increasingly dazed.
This scene often happened in the past. Ziqi and his mother often left him alone, and the mother and daughter got together to talk about themselves.
Why are they so similar. Su Ziyu watched quietly, his melancholy eyes filled with pain. He had the illusion that Gu Qingwan was Qian Ziqi, and Qian Ziqi was Gu Qingwan.
