Bixia palace is closer to Renshou palace. Duke Wei first sent xiaojingkong back to Renshou palace, and then took the aggrieved Qin Chuyu to Kunning palace.
As soon as Qin Chuyu saw empress Xiao, she could no longer help being a little man.
Looking at his tears falling down, empress Xiao didn't know. So she hugged her son and asked him, "what's the matter?"
Qin Chuyu cried out of breath.
Empress Xiao then looked at Duke Wei.
Duke Wei had no choice but to tell the whole story: "the seventh highness said that Mr. xian'er had pushed, and Mr. Xian said that he had not pushed. The child... Just lost his father and was disabled. His legs were gone. His majesty could not bear to scold him, so he asked the slave to bring him back."
This is very skillful. It makes people feel that your majesty doesn't believe in Qin Chuyu. It's just that the child is too poor and a guest. Your majesty didn't investigate his responsibility in person.
Empress Xiao sighed: "well, don't cry."
"He pushed me! I didn't lie... "Qin Chuyu cried miserably.
"Well, well, he pushed you, and the mother believed in you." Empress Xiao comforted her son painfully.
After Wei Gonggong retired, Qin Chuyu cried for a while and fell asleep.
Empress Xiao told Duke Su to go to the Bixia palace and give some gifts to Princess Ning'an. She also took a look at the child.
"The lower leg is empty..."
Su Gong reported.
Looking at her sleeping son, empress Xiao touched his forehead and sighed slowly: "I know. Step back."
In her early years, the relationship between empress Xiao and Princess Ning'an was more harmonious than that between empress Xiao and Princess Xinyang.
Princess Ning'an is innocent and lively. She is a girl who can make people warm when she laughs.
It's just that I haven't seen each other for so many years, and they have been separated. Maybe empress Xiao is still empress Xiao, but Princess Ning'an is no longer that naive little princess.
Today's Ning'an is just a poor woman who has been betrayed by her husband, and her only son is disabled. If empress Xiao quarrels with them, she will lose her status, not to mention offending her majesty and the Empress Dowager.
Empress Xiao frowned and said, "in the future, keep an eye on your seventh highness. Don't go to the Bixia Hall any more. Today, take the dog and keep it. Don't let your seventh highness see it again."
Su Gong said, "yes."
But xiaojingkong said that after returning to Renshou palace, she said goodbye to her aunt and planned to go back.
Because he was one year older, he firmly believed that he could go in and out as freely as his bad brother-in-law, so he came here today in Liu Quan's carriage.
I'll take Liu Quan's carriage when I go back.
He is an independent little man
"Goodbye, Auntie!" He waved his little hand.
"Wait a minute." But empress dowager Zhuang grabbed the little guy, put him on the chair beside him and asked, "what's wrong with your feet?"
Little clearance: has this been discovered?
I walk very well!
"Nothing. It hurts a little." Small clearance said with a small hand.
Empress Dowager Zhuang took off his shoes and showed a swollen back of her feet. Empress dowager Zhuang frowned: "how did you do that? It's all swollen. "
Xiaojingkong is naughty. He bumps on his body. Bruises and falls are also common, but swelling is rare.
Xiaojingkong said the matter carefully and honestly. In the end, he added his own point of view: "it seems that the little brother doesn't like to play with others."
Duke Qin gave empress dowager Zhuang a worried look.
Empress Dowager Zhuang put down her trousers, put on her shoes and said, "if you don't like it, you can play by yourself."
"But why does his chair have wheels?" Small clearance is still thinking about the big wheel.
The Empress Dowager Zhuang would feel sad when she mentioned these things. Duke Qin said, "clear space, I'll take you outside to sit on the swing."
"Well... OK." Small clearance jump to the ground, with a small foot jump ah jump to go!
Several clever maids stayed in the yard to play with him. Duke Qin came back. Looking at empress dowager Zhuang, who seemed to be old and haggard for several years, he said: "empress dowager, don't take it too seriously. That child is so physical, it's inevitable that he has a strange temperament, and just lost his father... It's inevitable that he will be in a mood. What's more, when he sees a normal man, his incomplete body is more or less uncomfortable. "
On this point, Duke Qin can be too empathetic.
He is a eunuch, and his body is also incomplete. At this age, he naturally has figured out what should be understood and accepted what should be accepted. However, when he saw a normal man in the early years, he would be envious, resentful, unwilling and inferior.
So is huangfuxian.
Qin Chuyu did not lie, two people know the stomach.
Empress Dowager Zhuang closed her eyes and said, "I'm tired. I'll ask someone to send me back for a moment."
"Yes." Duke Qin should go down.
Bixia palace.
The emperor went back to Huaqing Palace first. Princess Ning'an and huangfuxian were sitting in Shuming's open bedroom. All the palace people were rejected by Princess Ning'an, and only lian'er was with them.
Huang Fuxian was sitting in a wheelchair, playing with the flowers in a vase carelessly.
Princess Ning'an sat down opposite him, looked at him for a moment and said, "xian'er, why do you do this?"
"I like it." Huangfuxian said, looking at the flowers in his hand.
Lian'er looks at her Princess in fear.
Princess Ning'an took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and said: "huangfuxian, this is not a frontier fortress, it's a palace. A little thing may make you lose your head."
Huang Fu Xian pinched a petal: "Oh? Is it? Who dares to cut my head over his majesty and the Empress Dowager? "
Princess Ning'an looked at him for a long time: "huangfuxian, no one owes you. Your majesty and the Empress Dowager will not spoil you all the time. You'd better put away your bad temper and don't be in the middle of happiness and don't know your fortune!"
Huangfuxian looked at Princess Ning'an sarcastically: "what if I don't? Will you send me back to the frontier? Or do you just treat me as a remnant of the previous dynasty? Ah, I almost forgot that you are the princess of Zhao state. You can kill your relatives and give up your husband. What is a disabled son in your eyes? Why don't you get rid of my burden as soon as possible, or you can choose another husband to marry! "
Pop!
Princess Ning'an slapped him in the face!
Huang Fu Xian was beaten too far.
Lian'er was so frightened that she rushed over and hugged Huang Fuxian. She said to Princess Ning'an: "Princess! Don't do that! "
"Get out of here!" Huang Fuxian didn't appreciate it and pushed lian'er away impolitely.
Lian'er staggers a few steps and bumps into the table behind her. Her back is bruised.
Huang Fu Xian wiped the blood on the corner of his mouth with his slender fingertips. He looked at the blood. With a hook on his lips, a trace of satirical pleasure flashed through his eyes: "good fight, my mother."
……
Gu Jiao went to the hospital today.
When the second owner saw her, tears almost came down. He didn't care for many doctors and patients in the lobby. He took Gu Jiao's hand and looked at her for a while: "Xiao Gu, are you really OK?"
"I'm fine." Gu Jiao said.
"You lied! Don't tell me when you are so sick! He was taken away by his son-in-law! "
The people from the hospital also went to the frontier fortress, so they were able to bring back some news about Gu Jiao. For example, after Gu Jiao came back from lingguancheng, she was isolated for seven days, and doctor song knew that she was infected with the epidemic.
Doctor song won't hide it from the second master.
But doctor song didn't know about being taken away by his son-in-law.
She didn't say.
Gu Changqing did not say.
She didn't say it because she was too lazy to say it. Gu Changqing didn't say it because of her reputation. Gu Changqing only reported everything truthfully in his letter to his majesty.
In addition to her and Gu Changqing, only princess Ning'an's master servant and Tong Yiguan knew about it.
Gu Jiao's eyes cross the medicine table and fall on someone who is taking medicine for the patient.
About feeling Gu Jiao's eyes, Tong Yiguan turned around, gave Gu Jiao a smile and waved: "doctor gu!"
As one of the heroes who saved Princess Ning'an, Tong Yiguan came to Beijing because the emperor wanted to reward him face to face.
But he didn't live in the Royal post station, but came to the hospital to do chores for free.
"Dr. gu!"
He grabbed the medicine for the patient and walked over with a smile. "You left the army that day. I've been worried about you."
"Well." Gu Jiao light should be a, "hard you."
It's about him doing odd jobs and not getting monthly payment.
Tong Yiguan waved his hand: "no hard work, no hard work!"
He aimed at Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiao knew what he was aiming at and said, "in the basket."
Tong Yiguan's eyes brightened.
Gu Jiao said: "I won't touch you."
Tong Yiguan
During the Spring Festival, there are not many patients who come to see a doctor, and there are no complicated diseases that Gu Jiao needs to deal with.
Gu Jiao went to Liu Yisheng's house in the afternoon.
She didn't go on New Year's Eve. She went on the first day of the new year, but Liu Yisheng wasn't there, and neither was Anu and the old mother.
Gu Jiao once again knocked on the door of the Liu family.
Surprisingly, there is still no response.
"No one? Did you go out again, or have no one been here these days? "
Gu Jiao listens to the news quietly. Liu Yisheng has a special identity. There are too many people in the capital who want to bully him. Gu Jiao is not sure if something has happened to him. She grabs the tree trunk with her left hand and drags it over the wall.
There was snow in the yard and no strange footprints.
The gate of the courtyard is bolted from the inside, but it is not locked outside. However, if you come to the back door through the hall, you will find that the back door is locked from the outside.
So they really went out.
There was a little dust in the house, but there was no sign of fighting.
Gu Jiao basically ruled out the possibility of Liu Yisheng being abducted.
Gu Jiao thought about it, but she took out her small notebook and left a note for him. She asked him to come back to the hospital to find her. She had something to bring to him.
After Gu Jiao left Liu Yisheng's house, she went to Qinghuan chess club again.
She didn't want to play chess, but wanted to meet the old beggar nearby.
She left in a hurry at the beginning and didn't say goodbye to the old beggar. She didn't know what had happened to him recently.
He looked around the street where the old beggar used to haunt, but did not see the figure of the old beggar.
All of a sudden, a scholar came out from the Qinghuan chess club opposite. She called each other: "brother, have you ever seen an old beggar playing chess in the opposite street?"
Gu Jiao is used to dressing up in men's clothes at the frontier fortress. Today she goes out in men's clothes.
After three months with Gu Chengfeng, she learned some skills of phonics, which is not very pleasant, but her young voice can still try to fool laymen.
The scholar was very knowledgeable. He was not frightened by the young man's face. He said with good words, "Oh, that man, he's gone!"
"Gone?" Gu Jiao was slightly surprised.
"Yes, I haven't seen him for more than two months! It's not gone. What is it? Ah, maybe... "The scholar blocked his mouth. He realized that the Chinese New Year's Eve should not say bad luck words. He skipped the last few words and said directly," he's old. It's snowing so hard in the capital this year. You know. "
"Well."
Gu Jiao knows.
It's freezing cold. An old beggar who has no one to rely on may die of freezing in the street on a cold and windy night.
This is the scholar's guess.
It's not Gu Jiao's.
An old beggar can earn money. He can't die of hunger or cold.
Of course, we don't rule out murder or accidents.
"It's not so bad, is it?"
Gu Jiao murmured.
"What did you say?" Asked the scholar.
Gu Jiao said: "nothing. Thank you. Goodbye."
"Ah -" the scholar couldn't stop Gu Jiao and scratched her head in confusion. "It's strange that someone would come to inquire about the whereabouts of a beggar in the Spring Festival? In other words, it seems that the beggar really knows how to play chess, and he has won the Maoshan Jushi of Qinghuan chess club. "
"Tut, what's the matter with me?"
The study shook his head, wrapped his cotton padded jacket tightly, and walked through the snowy street.
……
The coincidence in the world is so strange. It's like an appointment if it's all there or not.
Gu Jiao walks on the quiet streets. The capital is the most prosperous place in the whole country. However, the streets of the Spring Festival are still cold and quiet.
Gu Jiao side for a long time will be so one or two carriages passed.
Gu Jiao didn't care and walked forward.
However, when passing by an alley, a very noisy sound came from the other end of the alley.
Gu Jiao fixed her eyes on the direction of xianleju.
Gu Jiao and xianleju are not very familiar, just to investigate some things have been a few times.
Princess Jing is probably the owner of xianleju. After her death, Gu Jiao doesn't stare at xianleju any more.
But what happened to xianleju?
Gu Jiao pauses and walks towards xianleju.
