Gu Jiao is a person who was abandoned by her biological parents in a corner. In her cognition, no relationship is strong, and the trust between people does not come from the relationship itself.
Her world is simple, black and white, and all solidity comes from mutual liking and inner strength.
But she also understands that not everyone is like her, and maybe even most people are different from her.
They have their own criteria for judging, mixed with the complexities and trade-offs of human nature.
Gu Jiao frowned.
Eunuch Qin was keenly aware of her small expression, and couldn't help but ask, "Miss Gu, what's wrong with you? Are you uncomfortable?"
"No." Gu Jiao shook her head, "This question is out of scope, I can't answer it."
Eunuch Qin: "..."
However, even if she can't answer, it will not affect her further plans.
Not everything in this world has to ask for the reason. Take medical treatment as an example. If a patient catches a cold, even if she doesn't know how he contracted it, she can cure the other person.
The same goes for Concubine Jing.
No matter what the reasons were for her drugging the emperor in the first place, Gu Jiao would never allow her to succeed again.
She shouldn't buy only one medicine, she knocked it over so neatly, it looks like she has something behind.
Gu Jiao went to the study to say goodbye to her aunt, and then left the palace.
She didn't deliberately conceal her whereabouts, and even the emperor quickly got the news. The emperor thought that she had entered the palace to treat himself, and waited for a long while with anticipation, but only to the news that she had left the palace.
The emperor's face turned green.
Eunuch Wei returned from the nunnery and came to the dragon couch to return to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the imperial doctor has seen the imperial concubine, and it is still an old problem. It's fine, just rest."
The emperor was not satisfied with this reply: "The mother's hand is burnt, is it really okay?"
Wei Gonggong said: "No injuries, just a little redness. The imperial doctor has prescribed medicine, and it will be cured in a few days."
The emperor said solemnly, "I'm still worried." As he said that, he was about to lift the quilt and get out of bed.
Eunuch Wei hurriedly stopped him: "Your Majesty! What are you doing!"
The emperor said: "I went to see the mother-in-law. The mother-in-law was wronged in Huaqing Palace today. I must be sad. If I don't show up again, there should be rumors in the palace that I don't value her anymore."
Eunuch Wei has been in the palace for many years, how could he not understand this truth
But the emperor's body was still empty, and the imperial doctor told him to rest and recuperate.
Eunuch Wei said bitterly: "Your Majesty, your priority is to take care of the dragon's body. The concubine must be sympathetic to you. As for those palace servants, the concubine is your mother-in-law, who would dare to show her face?"
Except for the one from Renshou Palace.
Eunuch Wei added in his heart.
He continued: "If you are really worried, the servant will take you a few more trips."
Eunuch Wei is the emperor's confidant, and his appearance represents the emperor's position to a large extent. His frequent walks in the nunnery will make people feel jealous of Princess Jing.
The emperor still insisted on going, but as soon as he lifted the quilt and went to the ground, he felt dizzy for a while, and he fell down on the dragon couch.
It seems that I can't go there for a while.
"Your Majesty." Eunuch Wei helped the emperor to lie down and tucked a thin quilt for the emperor. He suddenly thought of something and asked, "Your Majesty, did you tell the Empress Dowager about your nightmares today?"
The emperor said, "No, what's wrong?"
Eunuch Wei smiled embarrassingly: "Ah... No, it's just that the queen mother came to visit your majesty, and the concubine immediately said that you had a nightmare. How did she know that you had a nightmare? The servant doesn't remember mentioning it to her."
The emperor frowned.
After a while, he didn't care much and said: "Xu is the mother-in-law who heard the conversation between you and me outside the door when she brought the medicine."
Yeah
Why did he vaguely feel that Empress Dowager's expression was a little strange at that time
Eunuch Wei didn't dare to say this, maybe he was wrong.
After Gu Jiao left the palace, she didn't go to the hospital or Bishui Hutong, but went to Qinghe Academy.
Gu Chengfeng had just finished going to the thatched hut and was still lifting his pants when a small hand stretched out and dragged him out!
Gu Chengfeng's pants almost fell to the ground!
He grabbed his trousers tightly, looked back at someone who was dragging him against the wall, his face turned into a pig's liver with anger: "Stinky girl! How can you have such a hobby! Peeking at the man taking off in the blue sky and daytime Pants!"
Those who know say that this is his sister, and those who don't know should be considered a thief!
Gu Jiao glanced at him with disgust: "Who wants to watch you take off your pants? Do you think you look good? That's it."
Well, then
Gu Chengfeng fell from the wall with a thud!
He was planted outside the Qinghe Academy, just in line with Gu Jiao's wishes. Gu Jiao tipped her toes and landed lightly beside Gu Chengfeng.
With her small hands behind her back, she bent over and stared at Gu Chengfeng, who was paralyzed on the ground.
Gu Chengfeng felt that one day he died young, and he must have been pissed to death by this girl.
Killing is no more than nodding, what does it mean to say that he is so nodding
Gu Chengfeng's self-esteem as a man was ruthlessly crushed, and he wished to ask her if you were blind!
He always felt that his own was extremely ferocious, until one day in a certain month in a certain year, he accidentally caught a glimpse of Xiao Liulang's...
Since then, he has remained silent.
Gu Jiao didn't deliberately go to the latrine to arrest people. It was because there were too many people in other places in Qinghe Academy, and Gu Yan was everywhere.
This is probably the telepathy of the dragon and the phoenix, as long as she gets close, Gu Yan will feel it.
There was only one place where Gu Yan wouldn't come to look for her, and that was the man's toilet.
It turned out that Gu Yan still underestimated his sister's face.
Gu Jiao has no habit of cleanliness, but she still threw Gu Chengfeng by the river to wash her hands.
Gu Chengfeng, who was disliked by the repeated flips: "..."
After getting on the carriage, Gu Chengfeng asked Gu Jiao, "I disappeared from the academy without even saying hello. This has a very bad influence. I am a student and I want to study."
Gu Jiao took out a 500 taels silver note and put it on the table.
Gu Chengfeng opened his mouth and said, "Even if the academy doesn't hold it accountable, but if it comes back to my grandfather, I can't help but be punished."
Gu Jiao took out another 500 taels silver note and put it on the table.
Gu Chengfeng silently took the bank note into his arms: "It doesn't matter if the bank note is not a bank note, I mainly want to help you out. Tell me, where are you going this time?"
Gu Jiao: "The Imperial Palace."
Gu Chengfeng suddenly felt that the banknotes in his arms were hot... Is it too late to regret now
Gu Jiao entered the palace openly and honestly, but Gu Chengfeng was not so lucky. He is a foreigner and it is not easy to enter the harem. He has no obvious relationship with Renshou Palace. The second son of the government.
More importantly, he couldn't reveal his identity, he could only grit his teeth and turn over from the high palace wall.
The two meet near the nunnery.
As soon as Gu Jiao's front foot arrived, Gu Chengfeng's hind foot also arrived.
Gu Jiao raised her eyebrows, her movements were fast, and she was very skilled in business.
"Have you been to the palace?" Gu Jiao asked.
"How is that possible? You think the palace is a place where you can enter casually?" Gu Chengfeng took out a map from his arms, "This."
"The map of the palace?" Gu Jiao's eyes widened, "Why do you have this?"
Gu Chengfeng said: "My father is the servant of the Ministry of Works, and the Ministry of Works maintains the large and small palaces in the palace. Even the concubine's nunnery this time was built by the Ministry of Works."
So this guy knows the topography of the various government offices like the back of his hand, and he comes and goes without a trace, all because he stole his father's blueprints
Gu Chengfeng said coldly, "It's your father too!"
Daddy: Ha ha ha.
Gu Chengfeng: Forget it, she is not the real Gu Jiao Niang.
"What are you trying to steal from the palace?" Gu Chengfeng was actually very puzzled. This girl is both favored by the queen mother and highly regarded by His Majesty. Does she want any treasures? Need to steal it yourself
Gu Jiao didn't answer, and took him to the vicinity of the nunnery.
Looking at the unpretentious nunnery not far away, Gu Chengfeng fell into confusion: "What's a nunnery to steal?"
Gu Jiao asked, "There is Long Yingwei in there, can you go in?"
Gu Chengfeng almost urinated!
He frowned: "What, what did you say? Long Yingwei!"
Gu Jiao said strangely, "You know?"
Gu Chengfeng snorted: "I am the number one thief in Zhao Kingdom, how could I not even know about Long Yingwei? The dead warriors of the late emperor were extremely talented in martial arts. That's it, how can there be a dragon shadow guard guarding it?"
Oh, forget that this guy doesn't know about Princess Jing.
Gu Chengfeng said thoughtfully, "Could it be that His Majesty sent it over? His Majesty is too filial to Princess Jing? In order to fear that the Queen Mother will be unfavorable to her, even Long Yingwei has been dispatched."
Listen, the whole world thinks that auntie will be unfavorable to Concubine Jing, but no one thinks that concubine Jing will be unfavorable to aunt.
Gu Chengfeng asked, "What are you trying to steal from her?"
Gu Jiao said, "Medicine."
"Medicine?" Gu Chengfeng looked her up and down, and said suspiciously, "You are a doctor yourself, so you still use it to steal other people's medicine?"
"Can you go in?" Gu Jiao was annoyed.
"I haven't tried it yet..." Gu Chengfeng has never even been to the palace, let alone the nunnery guarded by Long Yingwei.
You can't beat him-
But on the hidden breath—
Gu Chengfeng took a deep look at the little girl beside him, looked up at the sky, and sighed helplessly.
Seriously, one day he died, either by the girl's anger or by her.
Gu Chengfeng embraced Gu Jiao's slender waist: "Don't make a sound or breathe for a while."
Gu Jiao nodded.
Gu Chengfeng looked at the nunnery that looked like a dragon pond and a tiger's den, stared at it, and dived in with Gu Jiao's figure.
Gu Jiao didn't expect that he could really bring her in under Long Yingwei's nose. The old man couldn't help but disturb Long Yingwei when he was alone.
Gu Jiao suddenly had a new understanding of Gu Chengfeng, this guy's Qinggong is really good.
The nunnery that was temporarily rushed out was not too big, and the terrain was not complicated. Gu Chengfeng found the house of Concubine Jing without much effort.
Perhaps the two of them were lucky. At this moment, Concubine Jing happened to be not in the house, and she went to the small Buddhist hall to recite sutras.
Gu Chengfeng led Gu Jiao into the house.
"What does the medicine you're looking for look like?" Gu Chengfeng asked.
"I don't know either." She forgot to ask Nan Shi Niang, "but she's not a doctor, so there shouldn't be a lot of medicine in her hand, so find them all."
The two began to rummage around the house.
However, he quickly found some scalding creams and medicines for golden sores, or pills for nourishing qi and nourishing blood, and there were no unfamiliar medicines that Gu Jiao had never seen before.
"Shouldn't it be on me?" Gu Jiao murmured.
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Chengfeng patted her shoulder and motioned her to look at the wardrobe.
Gu Jiao's eyes fell on the wardrobe. The wardrobe seemed ordinary, but for some reason, it always gave Gu Jiao the illusion that something was wrong.
Gu Chengfeng whispered: "You also think it looks strange, don't you?"
Gu Jiao nodded.
She stared at the wardrobe for a while, instead of going over to take a closer look, she took a few steps back.
She said, "I know what's wrong. The pattern on the cabinet door is reversed."
Half of the patterns on the two cabinet doors should face each other to form a full moon, but the full moon that has been cut in half now looks back to back to both sides.
It's so uncomfortable to look at, and I don't want to take a second look.
Gu Jiao stepped forward and touched the two moons that had been cut in half with both hands. With a twist of the backhand, the moon was turned upright, forming a lustrous full moon.
With a click, the cabinet door opened.
This wardrobe had just been opened by Gu Chengfeng, and there were clothes in it, but at this time it had changed to a different look—the door was so thick that it almost opened together with the cabinet.
And on the innermost side is a hidden compartment embedded in the wall.
Gu Chengfeng had long arms, he stretched out his hand to open the hidden compartment, and took out a small box inside.
"Someone is here!" Gu Jiao suddenly said!
Gu Chengfeng didn't have time to open the small box, and he couldn't take it away, otherwise, once someone found it missing and Long Yingwei was alerted, the two of them would be dead.
Gu Chengfeng put the small box back, closed the cabinet door, restored the pattern, and led Gu Jiao to perform light work on the roof beam.
The door was pushed open.
Mama Cai walked in.
"Okay, just give me the clothes for the goddess. Go and see if the soup for the goddess is ready."
"Yes!"
The two accompanying little nuns handed the dried clothes to Madam Cai, turned around and stepped back.
Mama Cai closed the door, went to the wardrobe, opened the door and put the clothes in.
Then she closed the cabinet door and turned to leave.
But just two steps away, she turned back and frowned at the wardrobe.
Gu Jiao and Gu Chengfeng on the roof beam held their breath.
No, you found out that the wardrobe has been moved so quickly
Gu Jiao pinched a silver needle with her fingertips.
Mama Cai reversed the pattern, opened the secret door of the wardrobe, brought in a stool, stood up, took out the small box, and checked the contents of the box.
Gu Jiao looked down and saw two medicine bottles, one black and one white!
Man, it's really here!
Mama Cai took out the two medicine bottles and put the small box back.
No, she's going to take the medicine away
Mama Cai came to the door.
Gu Jiao slowly raised the silver needle in her hand.
Gu Chengfeng grabbed her wrist: it will be exposed!
Long Yingwei is not a vegetarian, as long as Gu Jiao makes a move, he will immediately be noticed by Long Yingwei!
Medicine or death!
Gu Jiao's killing voice will not be louder than their voices, but Long Yingwei is a dead man, and his brain circuit is different from normal people.
However, Mama Cai hesitated for a while, shook her head and sighed, and put the medicine bottle back in its place.
After Mama Cai left, Gu Chengfeng took Gu Jiao back to the ground.
Gu Jiao can jump down herself, but she can't be as extreme as Gu Chengfeng, and will be noticed by Long Yingwei.
Gu Chengfeng took out the small box in the dark compartment, opened it and said to Gu Jiao, "Are these two bottles of medicine you're looking for?"
Gu Jiao pulled off the corks of the two bottles and poured out one pill each.
Gu Chengfeng said strangely, "They look the same, why are they packaged in two bottles?"
They do look alike, both dark brown pills.
"Smell it." Gu Jiao handed the two pills to Gu Chengfeng's nose.
Gu Chengfeng smelled it: "It's the medicine, what's wrong?"
"Is there a difference?" Gu Jiao asked.
"No." Gu Chengfeng shook his head decisively.
In fact, there is a difference, but the difference is very subtle, and it is difficult for people who are not proficient in pharmacology to identify.
Gu Chengfeng couldn't even recognize it, and Concubine Jing should not be able to.
Gu Jiao wickedly curled the corners of her lips. She originally wanted to steal the medicine, but now she has changed her mind.
When it's over, this girl starts to mess up again, and I don't know which unlucky person is going to be unlucky again.
Gu Chengfeng shook his head and continued to study the small box. He suddenly let out a loud noise and said, "There is still something in the box."
He opened the interlayer of the box, and actually pulled out a rolled up bright yellow imperial decree.
Gu Chengfeng was stunned: "Why does Concubine Jing have an imperial edict here?"
He had never heard of any decree that His Majesty had given to Concubine Jing.
This decree is a few years old at first glance.
Gu Chengfeng's mind flashed: "I suddenly remembered something... This thing is just a false rumor among the people."
"What's the matter?" Gu Jiao asked.
The little girl is always so impatient.
Gu Chengfeng curled his lips and said, "Before the emperor died, he ordered Empress Dowager Zhuang to be buried with her. Concubine Jing risked her death to steal the imperial edict and burn it, which saved Empress Dowager Zhuang."
He suddenly laughed, "You said, could the box contain the same decree that was burned at the beginning... The imperial decree that could put the Empress Dowager Zhuang to her death?"
Did you forget that I just exploded? One by one, they are urging more explosions in the comment area. Okay, now, the editor really came over again.
Editor: "You can do it again, you don't need to do it too much, it's good to double the amount this time."
I:"… "
