Chapter 310

Gu Jiao first went to the hospital and changed her clothes before returning to Bishui Hutong.

My aunt has returned to the palace. The emperor is injured and can't take care of the government. As the empress dowager, she can't really idle all day.

After playing the cards, they broke up.

Lao Jijiu also went to the Imperial College to deal with today's official business.

There was no news about the emperor's assassination, nor did he mobilize people from the palace, but let Gu Changqing stay with him.

Gu Changqing lived in Bishui Hutong aboveboard.

At this moment, Xiao LIULANG and his three younger brothers haven't come back. Gu Jiao goes to see Duke Wei next door. He is seriously injured.

"I took the medicine in the afternoon, and then I went to sleep." Yu ya'er said, "Miss, is there anything wrong with the maidservant? Why doesn't he wake up? "

Gu Jiao gave Wei Gonggong pulse, said: "you do very well, he is too weak, need to support a few days."

Listen to Gu Jiao say so, jade bud son put down heart.

Gu Jiao went to her aunt's house again to feel for the emperor.

The emperor also went to sleep. There was no sign of inflammation in his wound for the time being, but it should not be taken lightly.

Gu Changqing had nothing to do in the afternoon, and he was not easy to practice his sword. He was afraid that the sound would disturb the emperor's sleep. Seeing that there were corn cobs hanging on the rope, he took some down to collect them.

He had seen his aunt and Gu Yan collect corn cobs in this way before.

If the people in the barracks saw Yan Luo sitting on the stone bench in the backyard collecting corn cobs, they were afraid that his eyes would stare off.

Gu Jiao went over, sat down beside him and asked about the southwest corner of the palace: "who lives in the southwest corner of the palace?"

"Why did you ask this all of a sudden?" Gu Changqing collects corn cobs.

"I just went out to get some information. The assassin seems to have something to do with the southwest corner of the palace." Gu Jiao did not say that she went to the brothel to inquire.

But Gu Changqing is not stupid. He can't find such big news outside. The only place he didn't go is xianleju.

Gu Changqing squinted, put down the corn cob in his hand, and his face became serious: "did you go to xianleju?"

Gu Jiao said seriously, "no, I'm a gentleman. I don't go to that kind of place!"

She had changed her clothes, and if she didn't admit it, she didn't go!

Gu Changqing's eyes fell on her small throat: "the Adam's apple hasn't been taken off yet."

Gu Jiao

It's like a tornado!

Gu Changqing is angry and helpless. Although he knows that she is good at it, xianleju is not an ordinary place. It's heavily guarded and the experts are like clouds. He doesn't know the depth of it.

"Don't go to such a dangerous place in the future." Gu Changqing said that she should not be obedient and said, "if you want to go, please call me together."

Gu Jiao thought and nodded.

Gu Changqing then said, "how did you get in?"

"I picked up a token from xianleju." Gu Jiao said without changing her face.

Can you even pick up a token? What tone does Gu Changqing want to say? But when I think of Empress Dowager Zhuang and the emperor, I think this girl really has this kind of luck.

He didn't doubt anything, but said, "so you heard about the assassin?"

"Well, the assassin has something to do with the southwest corner of the palace. Do you know this spike?" Gu Jiao took out the tassels that Qian Xue had given her.

This is a piece of tassel hanging on a jade pendant. It is exquisitely made. There are many such hand-made tassels that can be bought in every street.

The only difference is that this spike is colored.

Gu Changqing said: "the general ears are red, your majesty and Empress Dowager's ears are bright yellow."

It's not that there are no colorful spikes, but they are rare.

Gu Changqing had never seen anyone who knew wear this kind of tassel.

Gu Jiao asked, "can concubines in the harem wear colorful tassels?"

Gu Changqing thought seriously: "maybe."

Colorful tassels are not taboo, just not very popular.

"But." Gu Changqing then said, "there are no concubines living in the southwest corner of the palace. It's a place where bees and flowers are kept. There is only one bee garden and one flower shed."

Does that note mean people who will appear in the southwest corner of the palace instead of people who live in the southwest corner of the palace?

"Jiao Jiao!"

Gu Jiao thought, Xiao Jingkong came back from school.

He jumped out of Liu Quan's carriage, ran into the yard, passed by the front yard and the hall, came to the backyard, and plunged into Gu Jiao's arms.

The little head rubbed in her arms.

Recently Gu Jiao is busy. Xiaojingkong hasn't seen her when she comes home from school for a long time.

Of course, xiaojingkong didn't forget to say hello to Gu Changqing and called big brother crisply.

Small clearance of the small bald head grew a little hair, is a handsome small inch.

Gu Jiao touched his little head, sweating.

It's too hot to wear.

Gu Jiao simply went to the kitchen to get water, to give him a bath.

Gu Changqing said, "I'll come."

Gu Changqing has rich experience in taking care of his younger brother. He takes xiaojingkong back to the house and bathes him.

Xiaojingkong changed his clothes. After wearing pants, he seemed to have found a new world. He came to Gu Jiao bravely and pointed to his little pants and shoes: "Jiaojiao! I've grown tall

The trousers are short.

It used to cover shoes, but now it's on the upper.

Not much, just two inches.

But two inches is also tall!

Gu Jiao nodded: "well, it's growing tall."

"Oh dear!" Xiaojingkong was so happy that he began to announce all over the yard. When he saw people, he said that he had grown tall and showed off his short leg.

It's just that everyone is out today and hasn't come back yet.

Xiaojingkong has never looked forward to his bad brother-in-law, brother Yan and brother Xiaoshun like this.

He wants to show off to the whole world, he's long, tall and beautiful!

But wait and wait, Xiao LIULANG worked overtime in the Hanlin Academy. Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun went to Nanxiang and Master Lu to study arts. Even Yao, who went to the temple to offer incense, took mammy Fang to stay in the temple for the night.

Oh, I'm worried about him!

There's no place to show off!

Xiaojingkong sighs, with his hands behind him, pacing up and down the yard, walking out of the pace of Uncle Zhao's worry that the price of rice will rise tomorrow!

"Cough..."

A low cough came from my aunt's house.

Xiaojingkong's eyes brightened: "huh? Is my aunt back

He ran over and pushed the door open: "aunt! Why? Not my aunt? "

He saw the man on the bed. His head was crooked. He was surprised and said, "Uncle Chu?"

Qin Chuyu's waistcoat is very well covered. Up to now, both Xiao Jingkong and Xu Cong think that his surname is Chu, and his father is an official in the imperial court.

As soon as the emperor woke up, he still didn't think about it. When he saw Jingkong, he remembered that he was resting here.

"It's clearance." He said hello weakly.

"Uncle Chu, are you sick?" Xiaojingkong came to the bed and looked at him with wide eyes.

Gu Jiao is a doctor. It's not surprising that he came to take care of the patient. It's strange that he actually lived in his aunt's house.

"Why does uncle Chu live in his aunt's house?" Asked little clearance.

Children don't have as many twists and turns as adults, so they ask what they think.

"Why doesn't uncle Chu live on my side?"

Then he can go to sleep with Jiaojiao at night!

The emperor did not expect that this room was the house of Empress Dowager Zhuang. He was very surprised: "this is too... Your aunt's house?"

"Well!" Little clearance nods like garlic.

"What's here..." the emperor stopped in the middle of his words.

He was rescued by the little doctor in the middle of the night. His life is dying. The little doctor is busy rescuing him. Where can he go to decorate the room for him?

A table, a chair, a lamp and a candle here have been arranged before.

At the thought that everything here was arranged by Empress Dowager Zhuang, the Emperor didn't like it at all.

Xiaojingkong didn't know what the emperor thought. Seeing that he was suddenly decadent, xiaojingkong thought he was suffering. He patted his hand and said, "Uncle Chu, you will be fine. Jiaojiao's medical skill is very good. He will cure you. Don't worry about it!"

The emperor looked at the little hand on the back of his hand, and a four-year-old child comforted him.

All of a sudden, the emperor could not laugh or cry.

Soon, he realized that his clothes were untidy and his hair was in disorder after a sleep, which was detrimental to the majesty of a country, so he wanted to have his appearance cleaned up.

However, Duke Wei was injured, and there was no other palace man around him to wait on him.

Xiao Jingkong asked, "Uncle Chu, what's the matter with you?"

"I..."

Forget it. He'll do it himself.

The emperor reached for the crown on the bedside table.

Xiaojingkong said, "Uncle Chu, do you want to comb your hair? Let me help you! Don't move when you are sick

"Will you?" Asked the emperor.

"Of course I will!" Small clearance patted small chest said.

He gives Xiao Ba dog hair every day!

Xiaojingkong went to the dressing table to get a comb, stepped off his shoes, climbed into bed, stood behind the emperor, and began to comb his hair for the emperor.

He combs well.

The emperor was happy and talked a lot: "can you recite poems?"

"I will, but I don't like reciting poems," he said

The emperor laughed: "what do you like?"

Xiaojingkong said, "I like singing."

I just learned some new songs with Jiaojiao recently.

"Oh?" The emperor said with a smile, "can you sing? Sing two songs

"Well..." xiaojingkong thought about it seriously, and stopped combing her hair.

He brewed a little emotion, raised a small hand, started to sing: "the north wind blows, the snowflake floats, the snowflake floats, the new year comes, dad goes out to hide, the whole seven days ~"

The emperor smoked at the corners of his mouth.

How can it be such a sad song?

Do you think his mood is not miserable enough?

Xiaojingkong sang with great devotion. Her eyes were sad and there were tears in her eyes.

The emperor couldn't bear to look directly at him: "can a child sing something joyful?"

"Yes Xiaojingkong switched his mood for a second, and while tying the emperor's braids, he shook his head and sang, "someone else's daughter has flowers to wear ~ your father and I have little money to buy ~ tear off the two foot red headrope ~ tie up Xier for me ~ ah ~ tie up ~"

The emperor with a big pigtail has a black face!

What a mess!

The emperor felt that he could not listen any more. If he listened any more, he would be hurt by his anger.

"I... I have another song!" Xiaojingkong cleared his throat, grabbed the emperor's braid, and shook his body, "ah!"

Too much force, the emperor's hair was pulled, the scalp was almost pulled down!

"Cough, it's wrong. Come again!" Small clear space brewed for a while, look one Lin, exhausted whole body strength——

"Ah, uncle Ba and uncle Xiao~

Gee, if you give it to Lhasa, don't show your wealth~

Dead, I didn't say anything about killing his father~

It's probably to kill ma~

Dad's dead. "

In fact, there was no "one" in the last sentence, but xiaojingkong felt that the singing was not smooth enough, so he added a "one".

He's such a smart boy!

The emperor doesn't have a little space to enjoy.

What do the kids sing? Is it really good to sing such a cruel song at a young age?

He looked back and asked Huo Xian what he had taught his children!

Also, sing as you sing. Can you stop pulling his hair?

Is it easy to grow such a thick hair at an old age? Be careful to drag him bald!

Xiao LIULANG first came back from the Imperial Academy, and xiaojingkong finally ended the double destruction of the emperor's hairline and longer.

He went to show off his height to his bad brother-in-law.

After showing off, he sat at the door, stretched his legs, and put his trouser legs in the most prominent position. He showed off everyone in the family.

Gu Xiaoshun touched his nose and said, "did you raise your trousers up?"

Gu Xiaoshun pulled the belt back to the position of his navel: "you see, can't this cover the shoes again?"

Small clearance:

Small clearance cry out!

Real world Gu Xiaoshun!

Finally, Gu Jiao measured the height of the small headroom, and showed him the data he had recorded before to make sure that he was really tall, but not as much as two inches.

"An inch higher." Gu Jiao said.

Xiaojingkong is sitting in Gu Jiao's arms, playing with Gu Jiao's hair: "is one inch tall?"

Gu Jiao touched his small head: "of course."

Small clearance head to finger: "that, that should reward a kiss."

Gu Jiao kisses his head.

Xiaojingkong jumped to the ground, covered his head with his hands, and ran back to the house quickly.

At night, when Gu Jiao went to change the emperor's dressing, she asked if the emperor had seen the tassel.

The emperor shook his head: "I haven't seen it."

The next day, Gu Jiao went to the palace.

Empress Dowager Zhuang went to court. Gu Jiao took Sui Zi and asked Duke Qin, "Duke Qin, have you seen this Sui Zi?"

Duke Qin shook his head: "I haven't seen you before."

"Duke Qin, there's a place to collect honey in the palace, isn't there?" She asked.

Duke Qin said: "there is a bee garden in the southwest corner. Does Miss Gu want fresh honey? I'll let you pick them. "

"No, I'll go myself." Gu Jiao pause, "can I go?"

Qin Gonggong said with a smile: "nature."

Qin Gonggong took a jar to Gu Jiao: "there is a bee craftsman over there. If Gu girl is tired, she can give it to them."

"Good." Gu Jiao takes the jar.

Worried that she would get lost, Duke Qin specially asked the eunuch of Renshou palace to send her.

Gu Jiao decided to wait here.

After waiting all morning, no one passed by except the gardener and the bee maker.

Just as Gu Jiao was about to leave, several women's figures came to the end of the path.

The first is Princess Ning.

Princess Ning followed two eunuchs with flower baskets, followed by four little maids.

Princess Ning had just had a miscarriage a while ago, and her face was still puffy. It was hot in June, but she was still wrapped in a cape.

Princess Rui said that this was the third miscarriage of Princess Ning.

Every miscarriage does great harm to a woman. Besides, she has been pregnant three times. In ancient times, when medical conditions were not developed, it might be very difficult for her to get pregnant again.

She lived in King Ning's residence outside the palace, and she didn't know why she came to such a remote southwest corner.

Is... She the one to wait for?

Gu Jiao was in a cabin, but her eyes fell on Princess Ning through the window.

"Princess, just leave this kind of thing to your maidservants. Why bother to come by yourself?" Asked a maid in waiting.

Princess Ning said, "you don't understand. You're blind. Call the beekeeper

"Yes

The maid in waiting went to the bee garden and called the bee craftsman on duty.

The bee maker saluted Princess Ning respectfully: "I've seen Princess Ning."

Princess Ning asked, "what honey have you picked today?"

The bee maker replied, "if Princess Huining wants to talk about it, there are jujube nectar and Robinia honey, and half a pot of hundred nectar."

"I'll try it." Said Princess Ning.

"Yes The bee maker poured a small cup of each of the three kinds of honey.

Princess Ning tasted it one by one with a spoon and said, "it's still jujube honey."

"How much does Princess Ning want?" Asked the bee maker respectfully.

"Two cans." Said Princess Ning.

The bee maker filled two pots of honey for Princess Ning. The eunuch next to Princess Ning took it, and then they went to the garden to pick up some potted plants.

Looking at the back of Princess Ning, Gu Jiao came out and said to the bee maker, "I picked up a spike on the ground. Does it belong to Princess Ning?"

"Ouch." The bee Maker took the spike to catch up with Princess Ning.

Gu Jiao saw that the bee craftsman presented the spike to Princess Ning, but Princess Ning shook her head with a look that didn't seem to be cheating.

"Girl, Princess Ning said it wasn't his." The bee maker gave the tassel back to Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao is not the dress of empress concubine or palace maid, but she is a person from Renshou palace. The bee maker still dare not neglect her.

Gu Jiao took over Sui Zi and asked, "is there anyone else here?"

The bee maker said with a smile, "there are many bees here. It's easy to be wise. Generally, few people come here."

Is that Huakui of xianleju amusing himself?

Gu Jiao pondered the five words "imperial palace, southwest corner" in her mind.

In addition to bee garden, the southwest corner is the garden. She has been staring at the garden, and there is no movement.

Gu Jiao touched her chin.

When I couldn't figure it out, someone came again.

This time it's the princess.

The crown princess has been staying in the East Palace since she was beaten by Gu Jiao with a sack. She was completely recovered yesterday and went out of the east palace again this morning.

The bee maker was scared. Even if Princess Ning came, how could even the Crown Princess come?

The bee craftsman hastily went forward with a salute: "the slave knocks at the crown princess!"

The princess nodded lightly.

Gu Jiao stood at the gate of the bee garden. Before she could get back to the cabin, the princess saw her.

The crown princess knows Gu Jiao. After all, she has seen Gu Jiao far away.

And Gu Jiao also knows the princess, after all, she deeply beat the princess.

But in their impression, they should not know themselves.

This is their first formal meeting.

As a woman who can charm the prince, the appearance of the crown princess is impeccable. It's not too much to say goodbye to the country at the sight of the city.

In contrast, Gu Jiao, who has a big red birthmark on her cheek, is much inferior.

At least in the eyes of others.

The crown princess is the cloud moon in the sky, and the beauty of the harem can be eclipsed in front of her, not to mention the girl in front of her?

"Who are you? Why don't you kneel down when you see the princess? " Asked the eunuch beside the princess.

If it was the crown princess's official, she would probably recognize Gu Jiao.

Unfortunately, the eunuch had never met Gu Jiao.

The bee maker said in a small voice: "father-in-law, this girl is from Renshou palace."

The eunuch's face changed, but it was only a moment when she raised her voice: "the people in Renshou Palace are the most polite, that is, Miss Zhuang has to salute respectfully when she meets the crown princess!"

This is obviously telling Gu Jiao that empress dowager Zhuang's niece and granddaughter have to salute when they see the crown princess. Regardless of her identity, can she still cross Zhuang Yue Xi?

The Crown Princess looks at Gu Jiao.

She suddenly wanted to see the woman salute in front of her.

Gu Jiao refused to salute her.

As a member of the East Palace, the eunuch naturally didn't deal with Renshou palace, but he couldn't go up and punish Gu Jiao. He still had to press Gu Jiao with rules: "does the Empress Dowager know you are so rude?"

"Does the Empress Dowager know that you can manage it?"

It's Duke Qin.

The eunuch's face changed and his head dropped two points.

The same is the master's confidant too long, but he can't compare with Duke Qin, but Duke Wei can compare with Duke Qin in identity.

The crown princess also showed a puzzled look when she saw Qin Gonggong.

Qin Gong came to Gu Jiao and saluted respectfully: "Miss Gu, the Empress Dowager has gone to court. Why don't you go back to Renshou palace to have dinner?"

With that, he turned around and saluted the crown princess, "I've seen the crown princess."

His smile and manners are not wrong, but he said hello to Gu Jiao before he saw the princess. He was already in the face of the princess.

The crown princess's eyes flashed a subtle wave, and her face was as usual: "Duke Qin is free."

"Miss Gu, have you got the honey you want?"

"Well." Gu Jiao nodded, "in the room."

Duke Qin himself took out two pots of honey and said with a smile, "is there anything else Miss Gu wants? There are many flowers in the garden. Does Miss Gu have any that she likes

Gu Jiao shook her head: "I don't raise flowers."

Duke Qin said with a smile, "OK. Let's go back. If we don't, the Empress Dowager should be worried. "

The eyes of the princess could hardly hide her surprise.

She has known Duke Qin for such a long time, and she has never seen him be so polite to anyone.

Even in front of empress Xiao and concubine Zhuang, he was just polite, but his politeness to Gu Jiao didn't seem to be just polite.

There seems to be a little love and love in that respect.

During the whole process, Duke Qin took the crown princess as the air, and only asked Gu Jiao questions, as if he had an endless heart.

In the past, Duke Qin didn't talk so much.

The Crown Princess frowned.

They left.

As she passed by, Gu Jiao suddenly pointed to the ears on the ground and said, "your ears have fallen."

The crown princess looked down: "it's not from this palace."

Gu Jiao: "Oh."

It's not the princess.

People who appear in the southwest corner of the palace today have nothing to do with this spike.

Why is that?

Gu Jiao left with doubts.

The crown princess's doubts are no less than Gu Jiao's. she looks at Gu Jiao's back and always feels that something is wrong: "isn't she the wife of the new champion? How could it be so close to Renshou palace? "

"Crown princess!" The little maid suddenly thought of something and said, "do you remember that the fifth prince was pushed into the water two days ago? Shufei wanted to punish the man, but she was picked up by the empress dowager, and the man sat on the Empress Dowager's Phoenix

This matter is making a stir in the palace. Although the crown prince and Princess stay at home, they still hear about it.

That person is Shu imperial concubine's direct close niece daughter, real Ding an hou mansion big young lady.

It is said that she has excellent medical skills and is regarded as a guest of honor by Empress Dowager Zhuang.

The look of the crown princess is tiny a Zheng: "is she?"

What Xiao LIULANG married was not an ordinary peasant girl, but a real Marquis's daughter?

At this moment, the princess's heart suddenly did not know what it was like.

The little maid murmured: "in other words, is this Marquis's daughter crazy? The Marquis of Ding'an is his Majesty's confidant, and Xiao LIULANG is also his Majesty's newly appointed number one scholar. Her father, brother and husband are all his Majesty's people, but she prefers to be with empress dowager Zhuang! Is she not afraid of being rejected by her father and brother, or by her husband? "

Yeah, isn't she afraid?

How could she... Live so fearlessly, so recklessly?

Gu Jiao went back to Renshou palace and made a honey crispy duck for her aunt. The taste of the duck is similar to that of sugar skin duck. It's not so sweet, and there's a little more acid in the honey, so the taste is richer.

The Empress Dowager ate happily without the emperor's heartless son and his family.

After dinner, Gu Jiao took out the tassel: "aunt, have you ever seen anyone wear this tassel?"

Looking at Sui Zi, Empress Dowager Zhuang frowned: "I've never seen such an ugly Sui Zi!"

It's not ugly, Gu Jiao thinks.

"Wait, I think I've seen it again." Empress Dowager Zhuang looked up at the sky, recalled it carefully, waved her hand, "I can't remember."

Well, the clue just arrived suddenly broke again.

"Where did you get the ears?" Asked empress dowager Zhuang.

"I picked it up." Gu Jiao said without changing her face, "this spike may have something to do with the assassin who assassinated your majesty."

"Hum." Empress Dowager Zhuang snorted with disgust. "It's not clean to kill people!"

Gu Jiao

Gu Jiao went to the bee garden again in the afternoon, but still got nothing.

She was out of the palace at dusk.

She carried a small basket and walked alone in the bustling street.

She was still thinking about the murderer in her mind. Suddenly, there was a sound of fists and kicks in the alley, and she inadvertently swept it with her eyes.

I saw a group of big men were beating a skinny man.

The man's arms protect what, was beaten black and white, also don't let go.

Gu Jiao went over, grabbed a strong man, three under five divided by two, put down a piece.

Several people see not Gu Jiao's opponent, piss off.

Gu Jiao squats down beside the man. The man doesn't know what happened. He thinks there will be another round of attack. He protects his head with one hand and holds the burden in his arms with the other.

Gu Jiao stretched out her slender index finger and poked him on the shoulder: "it's me."

Liu Yisheng smell speech take away to protect the hand of the head, surprised to see to her.

Gu Jiao sighed: "how can you be bullied again?"

Liu Yisheng awkwardly got up from the ground and said, "isn't that normal? It's not the first time you've seen it. "

There's no one who makes it so easy to be beaten.

Gu Jiao looked at him, half of the burden was scattered in his arms, and said, "you finally decided to study?"

Liu Yisheng said, "just read it casually."

Gu Jiao: "Oh."

Liu Yisheng

Liu Yisheng's lips moved and said, "nothing. I'll go first."

"Here you are." Gu Jiao threw him a bottle of golden sore medicine.

Liu Yisheng subconsciously took it in his hand. After a pause, he wanted to give it back to her: "I have no money on me."

Gu Jiao said, "it's for you. No money."

Liu Yisheng still didn't want to take her medicine in vain. After thinking about it, he chose a book from a pile of precious books and gave it to her: "medicine money."

Gu Jiao said: "Jinchuang medicine is not so expensive."

Liu Yisheng said: "before also count."

This man's self-esteem is too strong, and he is always unwilling to receive favors in vain. If not, he might have gone to the state of Chen to take refuge in a rented family.

"Yes." Gu Jiao took his book.

They said goodbye.

Gu Jiao's step stops, takes out that tassel from the bosom to call him: "this, have you seen?"

"Well? My tassel... "Liu Yisheng said, looking down to touch the jade pendant in his arms.

When he took out as like as two peas with a similar head, he apologized and said, "I am not my fault. I am still there."

Gu Jiao pointed to his tassel: "does this tassel always exist?"

Liu Yisheng nodded: "well, what my mother left me has been hanging on this jade pendant."
