The Tang family left, and Gu Chengfeng also left under the escort of Eunuch Qin.
Empress Dowager Zhuang took Gu Jiao back to Renshou Palace.
Gu Jiao was dressed in black, and she was digging into the cabinet and running away, making her whole body dirty.
Empress Dowager Zhuang took Gu Jiao to the bath of Renshou Palace to wash up. Although she knew that Gu Jiao did not like to be served by strangers, but the pool was too big and some things she had not used before, Empress Dowager Zhuang arranged for two clever little palace maids to serve her closely.
Gu Jiao soaked in the palace pool for the first time and felt strangely fresh.
Shu Ming's open hall, surrounded by golden pillars with dragons towering into the beams, the bath is located in the center, covered by veils on all sides, and the scene inside is looming.
Four candlesticks with branches and loose leaves were lit in the four corners outside the gauze curtain. From top to bottom, the candlesticks on each floor increased in turn.
There is no open fire in the gauze curtain, but very large night pearls are inlaid on the floor and the wall of the bath.
The pond is sprinkled with freshly picked petals, each exuding a fragrant fragrance.
Gu Jiao soaked her whole body under the petals, revealing only a small round head.
The palace maid knelt by the pool and said to her, "Miss, this servant will comb your hair for you."
"Hmm." Gu Jiao nodded, rarely rejecting the approach of strangers.
The palace maid took the wooden comb, dipped it in the fragrant essential oil, and let down the long hair that Gu Jiao had wrapped around her head.
Her movements were very gentle, as if she didn't dare to break one of Gu Jiao's hair.
Gu Jiao closed her eyes with enjoyment, she didn't brush her hair so lightly.
The hair was smooth and shiny, and then the maid took the soap pancreas to clean for Gu Jiao. This soap pancreas is not the ordinary saponin that is used in the market. It has a lot of spices added to make it a taste that ordinary people can't use. .
It was so comfortable that Gu Jiao almost fell asleep.
It was more than half an hour after Gu Jiao finished washing, and she was busy catching the murderer. The food she ate at night had already been digested, and her stomach was hungry.
She came out wearing a lavender ice silk nightgown. At first glance, this nightgown was not Empress Dowager Zhuang's nightgown, it was suitable for her age.
Empress Dowager Zhuang looked at her in a trance as she walked out of the candlelight surrounded by palace maids.
"Auntie." Gu Jiao stepped forward.
Empress Dowager Zhuang returned to her senses and pointed to the stool beside her: "Sit down and have something to eat."
Gu Jiao was just hungry.
When I saw a table full of food, I almost couldn't hold back my saliva.
She blinked and sat down: "Auntie, how do you know I'm hungry?"
Empress Dowager Zhuang snorted: "Humph, with your little belly, is it hard to guess?"
Gu Jiao bent her lips happily, picked up chopsticks, and had a delicious meal.
Dining in the palace is very disciplined. On weekdays, there is a special person who prepares the dishes, what to eat, and only a few mouthfuls of each dish. Empress Dowager Zhuang has strictly followed the rules for so many years.
But when Gu Jiao was here, she still removed the palace servants who served the meal.
This is something Gu Jiao doesn't know.
"Are you full?" Queen Mother Zhuang asked Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiao put down her chopsticks and burped a little: "I'm full."
The Empress Dowager Zhuang gave another cup of hawthorn tea for digestion and tranquility.
Holding the flower tea, Gu Jiao asked, "By the way, auntie, why did you suddenly leave the palace?"
Empress Dowager Zhuang snorted: "Can Ai's go for a walk around?"
Gu Jiao snorted: "Does my aunt want to play cards?"
Empress Dowager Zhuang's brows twitched: "Nonsense! How could Aijia be... going to play cards?"
Aijia obviously just came back from playing cards!
Empress Dowager Zhuang hurriedly removed the spear from herself: "You are too embarrassed to ask how Aijia left the palace, and Aijia also asks you, what happened? What did you go to Tang Mansion for in the middle of the night?"
Gu Jiao glanced at her aunt, lowered her head, and matched her fingers: "Catch the murderer."
Empress Dowager Zhuang took a deep breath: "What murderer did you catch and go to the Marshal's Mansion?"
Gu Jiao said, "Someone wants to kill Tang Ming and put the blame on Gu Changqing."
The Empress Dowager Tang Mingzhuang knew. She was Tang Yueshan's nephew. She was quite handsome.
Most of the memories that Empress Dowager Zhuang recovered were related to Gu Jiao and Xiao Jingkong. Gu Changqing came too rarely, and she didn't remember much at once.
Seeing Empress Dowager Zhuang's bewildered look, Gu Jiao thought about it and said, "It was the first time he played cards, and he won a lot of money from his aunt."
Empress Dowager Zhuang's face darkened.
There is a picture.
This matter is complicated. In fact, Empress Dowager Zhuang heard a little bit of wind. After all, the movement in the barracks was so loud, how could she not know that Tang Ming's arm was cut off by a commander of the Marquis of Ding'an
But she, like all the soldiers, believed that the captain was fighting for the original Gu family army.
The Marquis of Ding'an was the emperor's power, so naturally she couldn't stand up for the other party, not to mention the fact that the other party had done too much.
Tang Ming's punishment was unfair, but his arm was not cut off.
He hurt Tang Ming badly in the name of martial arts, no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't be kind.
"It's not for Gu Jiajun." Gu Jiao hesitated for a while, but told the truth, "Tang Ming bullied Ayan, he took Ayan and locked him up... We searched for half the night before we found it. It was Gu Changqing who found him. Yes, just one step away from…”
Just what.
Gu Jiao didn't say anything.
Who is Queen Mother Ke Zhuang
She has eaten more salt than any other rice.
Can she not guess what happened
Empress Dowager Zhuang had only one request for Gu Yan, and that was to live.
It can be seen that this child is fragile, and this kind of thing is no less than half his life.
Empress Dowager Zhuang's face sank: "Is only one arm broken?"
Gu Jiao blinked: "Also... After a lesson, Tang Yueshan found out, so he wanted to arrest me."
Empress Dowager Zhuang expressed doubts: "Just to arrest you for this? I think he wants to kill you at all."
That's because I also heard his secret, but it's not bad. Tang Yueshan won't let her go even if he hears the secret.
This night, Gu Jiao and Queen Mother Zhuang chatted a lot. Gu Jiao is not a person who is good at communicating with people. She doesn't talk much, and she usually doesn't bother to speak when she knows something.
But auntie is such a kind of ability, she can let her down the line of defense and self-esteem awkward, and also be a little trumpeter.
When Eunuch Qin returned to Renshou Palace, Gu Jiao had already fallen asleep on Empress Dowager Zhuang's phoenix bed.
Her little face was facing the Empress Dowager Zhuang, her cheeks were pressed to the point of flesh, her mouth was slightly open, and crystal saliva flowed out.
Empress Dowager Zhuang wiped her, then gently pulled the quilt to cover her, picked up one of her hands, and sighed, "It's broken again."
"The Queen Mother." Eunuch Qin bowed in a low voice, "I have been delivered."
Empress Dowager Zhuang hummed lightly.
Eunuch Qin brought the gold sore medicine and handed it to Empress Dowager Zhuang.
Empress Dowager Zhuang's fingertips stuck a little, and she rubbed the medicine on Gu Jiao's palm where the reins were frayed: "Go and deliver a message to Bishui Hutong, tell that boy not to wait, Jiaojiao will rest at Ai's house tonight. already."
"Hmm~" Gu Jiao was so hot that she kicked off the quilt dissatisfied in her sleep.
Empress Dowager Zhuang carefully covered her.
Eunuch Qin suddenly laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" Empress Dowager Zhuang asked in a deep voice.
Eunuch Qin said happily: "I haven't seen the empress dowager so human for a long time. It seems that you lost your memory and recovered many things that were lost in the past."
"What was lost back then?" Empress Dowager Zhuang murmured.
Eunuch Qin smiled and said, "Yes, the last time you were so human was when Princess Ning An was by your side."
Speaking of Princess Ning'an, Empress Dowager Zhuang's expression turned cold.
Eunuch Qin realized that he had said something wrong, so he hurriedly lowered his head: "The servant made a blunder."
Empress Dowager Zhuang lowered her eyes, stroked Gu Jiao's fingers, and said lightly, "Go down."
Eunuch Qin responded: "Yes, the servant will go to Bishui Hutong."
"Wait." Empress Dowager Zhuang stopped him.
Qin Gonggong turned around and said, "What else is there to order from the Queen Mother?"
Empress Dowager Zhuang said, "Ai's family remembers that there are some masks in the storeroom from tribute?"
Qin Gong said: "Yes, does the queen mother want a mask?"
Empress Dowager Zhuang looked at Gu Jiao, who was sleeping soundly, and said, "Bring it all. For the princess..."
Eunuch Qin was shocked.
Empress Dowager Zhuang paused: "Choose for Jiaojiao, tomorrow morning."
