In the morning of these days, King Huai clearly felt that those sour scholars in the Imperial Academy were intentionally or unintentionally holding Gu Jinghong's stinky feet, especially the ever clear Qianzhan snow, and even exhaled with the emperor through one nostril.
Gu Xuanfeng was caught unprepared by this incident. He accidentally lost the construction right of the Ministry of works this year and fell into the hands of the South King of town.
When the weather turned warm, a lot of things were added in the imperial study. Aunt Cui, the maid in charge of the palace, was not relieved to give it to others, so she did everything by herself, so that she never stopped from morning till night.
Aunt Cui is an old man in the palace. She once served the first emperor. She is trustworthy.
Gu Jinghong saw that Aunt Cui had been busy and was so tired that he was sweating. He gave her the order of the tea cup that the palace man had just brought up.
"Thank you very much for your reward." Aunt Cui is very excited to take over the tea cup and drink it up.
Gu did not pay much attention to this matter, and continued to read with his head down.
Suddenly there was a sound of falling to the ground. Gu Jinghong raised his head abruptly. He saw aunt Cui lying on the ground, foaming at her mouth, and the cup of tea in her hand fell to pieces.
"Pass it on to the doctor!" Gu Jinghong immediately put aside his pen and went over.
When Grandpa an realized something was wrong, he took out the silver needle he had with him and put it into the tea on the ground. The silver needle suddenly turned black, which made him lose his color.
"Your Majesty, don't come!" Mr. an stopped Gu Jinghong from leaning over. "This tea is poisonous!"
Gu Jinghong's tea was poisoned. If it had not been given to Aunt Cui, it would have been Gu Jinghong.
Pei Zhuang came almost at the same time as Zhang Chaozong, but when they came, aunt Cui had lost her breath and could not be saved. The poisoner wanted Gu Jinghong's life.
"Your Majesty must order that the poisoners should be strictly investigated. They dare to poison the imperial palace. They must never let such a thing happen again." Pei thinks about it and feels scared.
Isn't this kind of behavior just being cut off by others at home?
Gu Jinghong looked at the cup of tea on the ground with a gloomy face and said coldly: "I know who made it. He is warning me not to do anything against his will. "
Those who can poison in the heavily guarded harem can't find anyone else except King Huai.
His action may not really be to kill Gu Jinghong, but to warn the other side that Gu Jinghong is not allowed to continue to buy power in the DPRK.
"Take aunt Cui down first, send someone to bury her, and then give her more pension." Gu Jinghong turns around and doesn't want to see another scene, which makes his heart chill.
Gu Xuanfeng is like a madman now. He does everything by any means. He doesn't even use the last piece of shame cloth rarely. He shows his ambition with a stab.
"The tea presented to your majesty can be poisoned easily. It seems that the people in the imperial tea house need to check it carefully, and all the people who handle this cup of tea need to check it." Pei Zhuang told grandpa an, "in addition, you need to pay special attention to any food presented to your majesty recently. You must not make any mistakes again."
This time, she was scared. The security around Gu Jinghong was like a sieve. Who can poison him.
At the end of spring and the beginning of summer, the weather became more and more inflamed and hot. Pei makeup has always been tired recently. After all, as an ancient people, even in summer, she had to wear at least three layers of long skirts. God knows how much she misses wearing a suspender skirt now.
Gu Jinghong orders people to take ice from the ice cellar and put it in the palace to cool down every day. In summer, the ice is very precious. Pei makeup is the only one in the palace.
However, as long as you leave the ice area a little bit, you will sweat all over again. Pei makeup admires the concubines who wear thick dresses and still keep elegant.
Princess Yu even said that the weather is getting warmer. She invited her to beat and beat the pill together. She was so scared that Pei Zhuang hurriedly hid, for fear that she would drag herself.
This day, Gu Jinghong went down to look for Pei makeup excitedly, and once in the door, he would hold her to talk.
"I have an idea. I want people to build a cool palace outside the Imperial Palace and lean on the west mountain and stream. Summer is the most suitable summer resort."
Pei makeup thought also don't want to refuse: "you don't have to work like this. There was a plague in the north a few days ago and a lot of relief money was appropriated. Now the Treasury is poor."
"Even if she is poor, she can't be wronged. I'll order Nanwang to find the craftsmen. I'll design a cool palace for her." Gu Jinghong seems interested in it.
This makes Pei Zhuang feel strange. Gu Jinghong's stingy man is reasonable, except for his generosity in national affairs. He is usually stingy with himself. How could he suddenly build a palace just to enjoy the cool.
"Do you think your majesty is possessed by a ghost?" Pei Zhuang asked Lan'er strangely.
Lan'er smiled and revered: "I'm looking forward to it. This cool palace must be a summer resort when it's built. Then I can spend the summer there."
"You have a big heart."
It's better to be a silly girl like Lan'er. She doesn't worry about anything as long as she has enough to eat and wear every day. She even has a big head when the sky collapses.
Gu Jinghong said that the plan to build the cool palace was soon put on the agenda. He worked all night to draw the design drawings, one for the craftsman and one for Pei.
Now that she has decided to do it, Pei Zhuang has some expectations when she gets the design drawing, but she can't help laughing when she unfolds the painting.
A big dome with two small circles seems to be a huge Mickey Mouse head. Little Honghong's idea is really avant-garde. This design is a match with the concentric circle of Lingxi stronghold.
"Lingxi stronghold?" Pei Zhuang suddenly noticed something wrong. In this way, Gu Jinghong's design is somewhat similar to Lingxi stronghold, but it is expanded into three concentric circles, which is more complicated and changeable.
It happened that Zhou LuHong also ate ice in Pei makeup palace. He glanced at the design drawing and said in surprise, "don't say, it's really similar to Lingxi stronghold. Does your majesty want to store weapons and soldiers?"
Very likely.
Pei Zhuang thinks that she despised Gu Jinghong before. According to his mind, it's impossible to build a useless imperial palace. As expected, Pei Zhuang is the original xiaohonghong. She was moved and guilty before.
"Looking carefully, the circular design of the courtyard wall makes it impossible to build a palace in many empty areas, which is suitable for hiding something inside." Pei Zhuang looks at the design carefully.
Zhou Huihong nodded: "I remember that in Lingxi stronghold, there were hidden weapons behind those houses. I also found out by chance that there are things we don't know in more places. "
Pei Zhuang thought for a moment, took the pen and added a pen to the drawing. In the middle of the palace, he added a huge glass platform, and then he asked people to take it to the emperor.
