No one in the entire Golden Palace dared to speak like this in front of His Majesty.
Duke Wei's expression changed.
Gu Jinyu's expression also changed slightly.
However, she is not because of the other party's inappropriate words.
She forced herself to calm down.
His Majesty gave Gu Jinyu a strange look, and said to the old blacksmith and carpenter, "She is Miss Gu."
The carpenter had never met Gu Jinyu, so it was difficult to speak.
But the old blacksmith remembered Menerqing, and he waved his hand: "She's not! Miss Gu doesn't look like this!"
Eunuch Wei smiled and said, "Could it be that you have made a mistake? Look again?"
The old blacksmith has been fighting iron all his life. He doesn’t know much about the world of people, and he is not smooth in his dealings. When his fiery temper comes up, he even forgets that he is talking to the emperor: “Don’t look at it! Miss Gu stayed in my shop for an afternoon. , how can I not remember what she looked like? Also, her voice is not like this! No, no! You are wrong!"
Eunuch Wei smiled and said, "Are you sure that the girl's surname is Gu, the daughter of the Hou's mansion?"
"Sure, sure!" The old blacksmith nodded hastily.
At that time, the little Sanzi went to the iron shop to help Gu Jiao get the farm tools. The old blacksmith insisted on giving a bonus to Gu Jiao, but the little Sanzi was too entangled, and accidentally said, "Gu girl is the daughter of the Hou's mansion, where is the money missing from you?"
The little third child said that he missed his mouth, and then he was extra cautious and didn't talk about it again.
Wei Gonggong said: "But she is the daughter of the Hou's mansion, and her surname is indeed Gu. There is no second daughter of the Hou's mansion with the surname of Gu in the world..."
When he said this, he suddenly stopped.
No, there is a second one.
Master Gu has two daughters.
One is his biological daughter who grew up in the countryside, and the other is his adopted daughter who grew up beside him. Although he was wrong, Lord Gu has always regarded the adopted daughter as his own, and this adopted daughter is also very good.
If it wasn't for the wrong thing to happen, I'm afraid no one would suspect that she is not the real daughter of a noble family.
What Eunuch Wei guessed, His Majesty naturally guessed it.
It's just that Lord Gu once swore that his biological daughter could not read a single character.
So who is lying
The old blacksmith's expression was magnanimous, but Gu Jinyu's face turned pale.
His Majesty cast a stern gaze on Gu Jinyu's face: "What do you have to say?"
Gu Jinyu squeezed her fingers tightly to prevent herself from showing her cowardice: "Your Majesty, the bellows was indeed invented by the servant girl."
The old blacksmith was anxious: "Oh, you little baby, how can you lie? You didn't go to my shop at all! If you don't believe me, call them all!"
Not only the old blacksmith was in the iron shop that day, but several other craftsmen also met Gu Jiao.
"Bold, this is the county master!" Eunuch Wei reminded in a low voice and solemnity.
The old blacksmith doesn't care what the county owner is or not, he only knows that she is not the person he is looking for, and she can't take credit for it!
"Your Majesty!" Gu Jinyu bowed and said, "It is true that the servant girl has never been to the iron shop, but the bellows was indeed designed by the servant girl."
His Majesty frowned, "Then what did you say at the beginning?"
Gu Jinyu lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty only asked the minister's daughter if the bellows was the invention of the minister's daughter, but did not ask the minister's daughter if she had been to the iron shop."
His Majesty's brows furrowed even tighter: "Then you're not curious about how someone made your own things?"
Gu Jinyu said, "I was curious, but it's not too surprising. After all, the minister's daughter has mentioned it to many people, and even the servant girl around the minister's daughter knows it."
His Majesty's eyes were already suspicious: "Do you mean that someone has stolen your achievements?"
"No, it's not like that!" the old blacksmith retorted, "Miss Gu won't steal anything!"
Gu Jinyu shook her head and said earnestly, "I didn't say that she stole something, maybe she was also kind and just wanted to help you, so I don't blame that person."
"Ah..." The old blacksmith was stunned.
Wisdom, generosity, and selflessness are all for her.
But the old blacksmith still felt wrong.
Irrelevant evidence is the intuition he has lived most of his life.
Gu Jinyu had already made up her mind, and she insisted that the inspiration was her own. His Majesty wanted to investigate the people around her. She had already made arrangements for the maids and would provide her with a favorable statement. More importantly, the father's side would definitely will favor her.
As for that girl, what evidence can she produce!
drawings
Oh, who hasn't
The principle of the bellows has already been mastered by myself, and it is really confrontational like who can't say that girl!
However, what Gu Jinyu never expected was that, just when she thought she was winning, bad news suddenly came from the Ministry of Industry - the iron-making furnace was blown up!
It was the stove with the bellows modified by Gu Jinyu.
It only took three days, to be precise, less than three days, the furnace blew up this morning.
The explosion of the furnace was so powerful that it directly destroyed the furnace that was built by the Ministry of Works.
This is not the most terrifying, the most terrifying is that there were many artisans from the court present at the time, all of them were seriously injured by the explosion!
The one who came to report was a deputy superintendent of the Ministry of Works. He came from the scene. He happened to go to the toilet and was not near the stove, otherwise he would be seriously injured at this moment.
"Bring people in." His Majesty said in a deep voice.
In an instant, he lost his pleasant atmosphere, and both the old blacksmith and the carpenter realized what the real power of the emperor is.
He sat on the wooden chair, exuding an unshakable aura, and the pressure was so strong that the two of them couldn't breathe.
The deputy governor Zansi entered the side hall in a daze, knelt down with soft legs, and briefly explained the incident. When it was said that it was the stove that Gu Jinyu remodeled, he glanced at Gu Jinyu beside him with a complicated expression.
Gu Jinyu's face quickly faded.
The old blacksmith asked anxiously, "Why did it explode? How big is your furnace? How many bellows did you use?"
The deputy superintendent did not know this commoner, but since he was able to appear in His Majesty's imperial study, and His Majesty did not stop it, he told the truth.
The old blacksmith was heartbroken: "Oh! Miss Gu explained at the time that such a large furnace can only use two bellows at most! Who told you to use six? Isn't this courting death?"
When Gu Jiao passed on the technique to the old blacksmith, she naturally explained the precautions, and the old blacksmith told the people in the court without reservation.
"Why are you making up your mind?" The old blacksmith was so anxious!
The deputy superintendent made a bitter heart, because it was the idea of the county master, she invented the bellows, and she wanted to improve it, who would question her
His Majesty's gaze towards Gu Jinyu suddenly turned cold!
Cold sweat broke out all over Gu Jinyu's body, she bit her head and said, "There will be no problem with my design... There must be something else wrong..."
The deputy superintendent said: "No, we all strictly follow the county master's drawings!"
Moreover, the operation of the bellows is very simple, as long as it is connected correctly, there will be no operational mistakes.
At this time, no one wants to take the blame.
His Majesty turned his head to look at the old blacksmith and carpenter: "Old gentlemen, please go to the scene for the two of you."
The old blacksmith and carpenter followed the Deputy Superintendent to the Ministry of Works, and Gu Jinyu also went.
The fire spread and the scene was full of smoke.
The injured craftsman was carried out by the guards on a wooden board, and the appearance of blood and flesh was terrible to see. Gu Jinyu only felt a tumbling in her stomach, she covered her chest, turned around and retched—
Gu Jiao rests today.
The four men in the family have all gone to school, and the old lady has also brought the old sacrificial wine out to play leaf cards. She was at home alone, and she planned to have a half-day free time, but before she had been free for a while, the little three came to the door.
"Girl Gu! Girl Gu! It's not good! Something big has happened!"
Gu Jiaoyun said lightly: "Is it Gu Chenglin who doesn't eat again, or is Gu Chengfeng in arrears for medical bills again?"
"Neither!" said the third son in horror, "The furnace of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce has exploded!"
In Zhao Kingdom, there was no public hospital like Gu Jiao's previous life, and the imperial court had limited doctors. The largest was the Imperial Medical Office, but there were not many people. The second was the medical officers of the military camp, who could not get close to fire if they were far away.
Usually, when such emergencies occur, the imperial court requisitions doctors from major hospitals in the capital.
Miaoshoutang is also within the scope of the requisition.
Gu Jiao took the medicine box and went to the scene with Doctor Song and two other doctors from the hospital.
The scene was even more chaotic than Gu Jiao had imagined. In the thick smoke, the wounded were carried out by guards from the collapsed smelting room from time to time. Doctors from other hospitals had already arrived and were treating the injuries of several injured people.
Gu Jiao was not in a hurry to heal the wound, but took out the cloth strips of various colors that were prepared early in the morning and handed it to the three doctors in Miaoshoutang: "Do as I said before."
"Um!"
The three nodded.
Zhao Shangshu was originally checking the city defense and launching, but when he heard that something happened to the yamen, he rushed back without stopping, with a dignified young man standing beside him.
The man was dressed in brocade clothes, tall and stern, with an air of superiority between his brows.
At this time, almost all the injured have been carried out, and there are dozens of minor injuries and serious injuries.
Doctors in major medical centers are treating the injured, but among this group of people, there are several doctors with different behaviors.
Instead of rushing to rescue the patients, they quickly checked the patients first, and affixed cloth strips of different colors according to the severity of their injuries.
The patient with the red strip is in critical condition.
The patient with the yellow cloth strip was not seriously injured, but conscious.
The green strips are for patients with minor injuries.
They prioritized patients with red strips, followed by patients with yellow strips, and finally those with green strips.
Compared with the chaos of other hospitals, their side seemed orderly and orderly.
The young man squinted slightly, and soon, he found a patient with a black cloth strip.
He lay quietly on the floor, doctors came and went, no one cared about his condition.
"Dead?" the young man asked.
Zhao Shangshu hurriedly ran over, probed the patient's breath with his hand, and walked back to report: "It seems that there is still gas, but why didn't you cure it?"
Zhao Shangshu expressed his incomprehension.
The old blacksmith and carpenter also joined the rescue team. Although the two did not understand medical skills, they could help to get people out of the ruins.
In the thick smoke billowing, there was a small figure that could not be ignored. She was dressed in green clothes and had a slender figure. Her cuffs were rolled up, revealing her fat-like wrists.
Her profile is as perfect as jade, but there is a red birthmark on her left cheek.
Her bare hands ran through the blood, she was calm, and there was no panic or disgust in her eyes.
The young man looked at her fixedly: "Who is that?"
Zhao Shangshu said: "Go back to your Highness, that seems to be the doctor girl of the Miaoshoutang."
The young man murmured, "Miao, Hand, Tang."
The rescue at the scene was in full swing, but Gu Jinyu was completely panicked.
She really didn't expect such a big accident to happen to the furnace she remodeled. Dozens of people were injured, and people kept being pulled out of the rubble.
At this moment, she was really scared.
She dared not think about how His Majesty would hold her accountable.
She seemed to be standing under a dangerous wall that could collapse at any time!
Her whole body trembled.
When the six gods had no masters, she noticed the injured person who was covered with black cloth strips.
As if seeing a life-saving straw, she hurried towards the injured person, ignoring the ashes and blood on the ground, and regardless of the corpse of the injured person, she knelt down beside the injured person.
"Here's someone! Is there a doctor here to save him?"
She cried out in despair, along with her inner hesitation. Her elegant and clean skirt was stained with blood, she took out a clean white silk handkerchief, held it in her hand, lowered her head and wiped it carefully for the injured person.
"Doctor! Doctor!" she cried, choked up.
She is a good person, not a person who cares about life, she has a conscience and a heart of compassion!
She gritted her teeth and roared: "I am the county master! I order you to save him!"
This area is the treatment area of Miaoshoutang. The doctors of Miaoshoutang are immersed in treating the patients at hand, and no one pays attention to her.
