The servants of Huaqing Palace didn't have the guts to give Qin Chuyu something to eat.
Empress Xiao looked at the emperor. The emperor was more ignorant than she was, and it seemed that he did not give Qin Chuyu food.
Then there is only one person left.
Queen Xiao bit her lip and didn't speak. She walked over and sat beside the bed, silently hugging her son, who was suffering from abdominal pain, into her arms.
The emperor pinched his sore brows and sighed helplessly.
It was already very late when the emperor returned to Huaqing Palace. Qin Chuyu had been making a fuss for a long time before falling asleep in Empress Xiao's arms. Everyone was still snoring after they had slept. Erchen, Erchen knew it was wrong.
Empress Xiao was so distressed that she burst into tears.
"Your Majesty, watch your steps." Eunuch Wei said with a lantern.
The emperor paused in his steps, then carried the cloth up the steps.
At the end of the corridor stood a thin figure, and when he approached, he recognized it was Concubine Jing, and he said, "It's so late, why doesn't the concubine rest?"
Concubine Jing held a string of Buddha beads in her hand, her eyes couldn't hide her worry: "I heard that Xiao Qi is ill."
The emperor nodded: "Ah, I ate too much at night, and my stomach was bad. It's not a big problem."
"Sin." Concubine Jing held the Buddha beads and closed her eyes. "I knew he was full at night, so I won't give him snacks and plum juice."
The emperor sighed and said, "I don't blame the concubine. The concubine doesn't know what he ate at night. This child is greedy and always wants to eat more, so he is so fat."
Concubine Jing looked at him and said, "Then I will pay more attention in the future."
Her eyes were full of guilt. Even though the emperor was a little worried at first, now he only felt distressed. He didn't take her back to make her angry.
She is her mother-in-law, and Qin Chuyu is her grandson. What's wrong with her feeding the grandson two bites
It's not always intentional to pit him, isn't it hurting him too much
The emperor said: "Mother concubine's injury has not yet healed. It's better to go back to rest early. When Xiao Qi is healed, I will let him come to greet you."
"Yeah." Concubine Jing nodded.
The emperor went to the imperial study to review the excerpts for a while before going to rest.
I don't know if it was because of too many troubles, the emperor didn't sleep very well all night, and he felt as if someone pushed open his door in a daze.
His eyelids were filled with lead and he couldn't open them. He tried to call the palace servants, but found that he couldn't make a sound.
He tried to sit up, but he felt that he couldn't do anything, and everyone seemed to be frozen.
With all his strength, he could only open a small slit in his eyes, and he saw the man slowly walking towards him.
Because of his immobility, he had the illusion of fish on the chopping board. The man's approach made him uneasy and made him feel the danger.
When the man got close, he found that the man was holding a dagger in his hand.
The cold light of the dagger pierced his eyes.
who are you
He tried desperately to ask, but his throat seemed to be completely paralyzed.
There was panic in his heart.
Finally, the man sat down beside his bed, raised the dagger high, and stabbed him in the heart!
At that moment, he saw the other's face clearly.
"Mother-"
The emperor screamed and woke up from his sleep.
He was drenched in cold sweat, and the sweat drops from his forehead, his heart beat violently, his breathing was disordered, and his eyes were full of terror from a nightmare.
Eunuch Wei got up from the couch, walked over to the emperor, picked up the bright yellow curtain, and asked worriedly, "Your Majesty, what's the matter with you?"
The emperor's face frightened him.
He hurriedly hung the curtain on the hook, went to brighten the wick on the candlestick, and then went back to the bed and asked, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
The emperor sat up, gasping for breath, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and said, "I'm fine, I just had a nightmare."
He actually dreamed that Concubine Jing came to kill him, which was too absurd.
It is said that there are dreams every day and night. Is it because these events have made him dissatisfied with Concubine Jing, or have doubts in his heart
That's too much of an asshole.
Anyone in the world can harm themselves, but Jing Mu Fei can't.
Wei Gonggong said earnestly: "Your Majesty has been busy with state affairs recently, and there are many things in the harem. Thinking about it, the pressure is too great. State affairs are endless, Your Majesty has to take care of yourself, and the servants do not know how many years they can accompany His Majesty. Be cherished."
The emperor said angrily: "How old are you? Why can't you stay with me for a few years? The surnamed Qin didn't say that he couldn't stay with the queen mother for a few years!"
The emperor is a long-term lover. Eunuch Wei followed him when he was at his worst, and he remembered him well in his heart.
Eunuch Wei smiled: "Yes."
But I said in my heart, you are really inseparable from the Queen Mother for three words now.
A nightmare made the emperor sleepless, and he was too lazy to go to the imperial study, so he asked Eunuch Wei to bring the book to the bedroom for review.
Eunuch Wei brought two clever little eunuchs, carried Zhezi on the desk, and held the lamp for the emperor.
The emperor took a shower, changed into dry clothes, and sat behind the desk to start reviewing the memorial.
"Go to sleep." The emperor said to Eunuch Wei.
Eunuch Wei is not as old as Eunuch Qin, but he is still a few years older than the emperor. The emperor listened to what he said, and was worried that he would drag his body down if he wasted so much.
How could Eunuch Wei not understand His Majesty's intention? He smiled and said, "That's what the servant said just now. Don't take it to heart, Your Majesty, the servant is in good health, and the servant is not sleepy at the moment."
The emperor knew that forcing him to sleep would not make him sleep well, so he stopped insisting.
After the emperor approved a few papers, the palpitation caused by the nightmare finally dissipated a lot, but he still had no sleepiness, so he went on to review the memorial.
After the rainstorm, the number of patients increased again, and the hospital was busy again. Gu Jiao received two visits, both on the same street.
Gu Jiao came out of the first patient's house and passed a chess club when she went to the second patient's house.
Generally speaking, the chess club is a relatively quiet place, but this chess club is extraordinarily lively today. It is full of people inside and out, and the sound of gasping air erupts from time to time.
Gu Jiao glanced strangely, because the patient was still waiting, she didn't go in.
There is a huge game going on in the chess club, and the reason why it is so powerful is because one of the players is the recently famous Moshan layman.
The monk Maoshan was in his early 40s and was not a native of the capital. He only traveled to the capital last year. He was invited by the Duojia Chess Club because of his good chess, and even a big family invited him to play chess.
He is extremely valuable, and all the chess players in the capital are proud to play against him. If he can beat him once or twice, he can be touted for several years.
It's a pity that there is no one who can defeat him yet.
The Crown Princess is excellent at chess, but unfortunately the two have never played against each other.
Mushan layman only plays one person a day, and that person has to spend a lot of money to buy the game, or defeat all the players in the chess club that day, in order to be eligible to play against him.
The chess player sitting opposite him now belongs to the latter.
To say that a chess player is not suitable, an old beggar is more appropriate.
However, it was such an old beggar in ragged clothes that actually sat in front of Layman Maoshan.
Wonderful wonder.
Whether the onlookers came to watch the chess game or to watch the excitement, it is unknown, in short, the lobby of the chess players was crowded, and there was almost no place to stay.
In a wing room, a female official dressed as a commoner said to the Crown Princess: "A powerful old beggar has come to play a game with the layman Mushan. When the layman Maoshan wins him, he can come to see the princess."
"No hurry." The Crown Princess didn't let anyone interrupt their game, "Wait until he's finished before calling him."
She came to find someone to play chess.
I heard that this layman in Maoshan is good at chess, and she needs to maintain her own level, so she needs to play against highly skilled chess players.
But to her surprise, in the end it was the old beggar who won.
The female official exclaimed: "No way? Layman Maoshan lost!"
"Winning or losing is a common thing in military affairs." The crown princess was strict with herself, but not so high on others.
The female official asked, "Then... Does the Crown Princess still want to play against him?"
"Yeah." The Crown Princess will not deny the opponent's ability just because the opponent loses once, nor will she immediately look at the old beggar just because the old beggar won a game. There are always some people in this world who have unusual luck, she still More trust in the accumulated fame, "Let him come in and play a few games of chess with this concubine."
"Yes!"
The princess played a few games of chess with the layman Maoshan. The layman Maoshan's chess skills were still good. After some games, the princess did gain something, but it was still a little far from the level of the master in her mind.
However, at present, there are not a few more skilled chess players in Zhao Kingdom.
"Thank you sir for your advice, I'll come back another day." The Crown Princess politely bid farewell to Lay Master Maoshan and left the chess club.
After getting into the carriage, the female official opened the curtain and suddenly said in surprise, "Prince Concubine, look!"
The Crown Princess took a look at the situation and saw an old beggar and a young girl in Tsing Yi squatting on the corner of the street across the street.
"It's her?" The Crown Princess looked stunned.
"It's him!" The female official thought that the Crown Princess was talking about an old beggar, and responded, "It was he who won the Mushan layman just now in the chess club!"
The Crown Princess didn't speak, she didn't look at the old beggar at all, her eyes were all attracted by Gu Jiao.
The scene she saw in the alley that night gave her too much stimulation. Now, whenever she sees Gu Jiao, she can't help but recall her ambiguous and emotional appearance when Xiao Liulang pushed her against the wall.
She was agitated.
Gu Jiao is playing chess with the old beggar.
She didn't wear a mask today, but the old beggar recognized her as soon as she made a sound.
Today, the old beggar is not in a mess. He has a serious game with Gu Jiao, who was hanged and beaten badly.
The old beggar laughed: "How is it, little baby? You know how good I am!"
Gu Jiao's face was completely black, she got up and left.
The old beggar exclaimed: "Hey—this is gone? Another game!"
Gu Jiao's indifferent face: "Twelve taels, only the next round."
Old beggar: "… "
Do you have to patronize the chess club's business tomorrow
Gu Jiao took the money and walked back. When she passed the Crown Princess' carriage, the Crown Princess opened the curtain and stopped her: "Doctor Gu, please stay."
Gu Jiao looked at her lightly, her calm face as if nothing in the world could surprise her.
"Is something wrong?" she asked.
The Crown Princess's attitude towards Gu Jiao was not too surprising, but she was not too accepting in her heart. After all, she was the Crown Princess, and she was just a doctor girl who didn't even have an official life.
She suppressed her anxiety and said calmly, "If Doctor Gu likes to play chess, he can go to the chess club, and he doesn't have to be in the company of beggars on the road. Doctor Gu is the daughter of the Marquis of Ding'an, also... Xiao Zhuangyuan's wife, and also the emperor. The celebrity around my grandmother, don't lose your identity when you do things."
Gu Jiao asked, "What are you doing?"
The female official said angrily, "What did you say? My crown princess looks down on you!"
Gu Jiao said, "I need her to look up to me?"
The female officer choked: "You..."
"Ping'er!" The Crown Princess frowned slightly at the female official, and the female official who was called Ping'er gave Gu Jiao a cold look and closed her mouth reluctantly.
The Crown Princess then said to Gu Jiao with a false tone: "If Miss Gu doesn't dislike it, I can introduce Miss Gu to the chess club. There are several powerful chess clubs in the capital, and the nearby Qinghuan Chess Club is not bad. Of course, if Miss Gu If you want to be closer to the medical center, you can go to Haotian Chess Club."
"No need." Gu Jiao said lightly, and left without any pretense.
Ping'er said angrily: "Prince Concubine, she is too much! Even if you rely on the empress dowager's favor, you can't ignore you like this!"
The crown princess was not angry. She had seen too many people who were pampered and arrogant. The moment is not important, but the beauty is the ability for a lifetime.
Isn't the former Gu Jinyu also in the limelight? In the end, it took only half a year of effort to fall into the dust. Now people in Beijing are still half as amazed and liked when they talk about where she came from
At the most, he was reluctantly relied on a marriage relationship with Anjun King.
Gu Jinyu is gentle, humble, and knowledgeable.
This Miss Gu's temperament is far worse than that of Gu Jinyu.
So how long can she be arrogant
