Chapter Forty-Nine: The Palace's Exchange of Blood
"Mother, Gu Shuiyue is too much, why do you have to tolerate her?" Meng Xiyu slapped the old lady's shoulders and asked.
The old lady's eyes were closed, and there was no expression on her graceful face: "Do you think the old lady is tolerating her?"
"The mother concubine assigned all the profit maids around her, didn't she tolerate her? I heard that she has been very expensive recently, I am afraid that it is because the mother concubine is afraid of her. Meng Xiyu said softly.
She knew that she had to wait, but the prince was getting better and better to Gu Shuiyue, and he actually stayed in Gu Shuiyue's courtyard, the old lady not only didn't take any measures, but also sent the maids around her to Gu Shuiyue's side, no matter how she looked at it, it seemed that she was currying favor with Gu Shuiyue. The actions of this mother and son are disturbing, and Meng Xiyu really can't wait.
She can't wait for Gu Shuiyue to die now, and she will take the position of the princess by herself. Otherwise, when the prince really has feelings for Gu Shuiyue, she won't be able to move if she really wants to move at that time.
"Xiyu, think about the question of the old body just now. The old lady's face became serious, and her dark eyes stared at Meng Xiyu.
Meng Xiyu was not such a stupid and reckless person, she was just anxious in her heart, so she lost her mind. Looking at the old lady's eyes, Meng Xiyu calmed down, thought about it again, and quickly figured it out: "Did the mother concubine install someone next to Gu Shuiyue?"
The old lady nodded.
"Is it Qingping's girl?" Meng Xiyu said, "Qingping is close to Gu Shuiyue, as long as she moves her hands and feet a little, ......" said, Meng Xiyu was suddenly happy.
The old lady glanced at her expressionlessly: "Everyone knows that Qingping went out of the courtyard of the old body, what Qingping did, isn't it all attributed to the old body, do you think the old body is so stupid?"
The old lady's words were a little heavy.
Meng Xiyu hurriedly took two steps back and knelt down towards the old lady: "Mother, Xiyu thought things too simply, Xiyu was wrong." ”
"The person arranged by the old body is naturally not Qingping, Qingping is just a trick, no matter how smart Gu Shuiyue is, he can't see it. The old lady said, "Gu Shuiyue did this just to provoke the old body to attack her? Compared to Gu Shuiyue, the old body even ate a few years longer, how could she fall into her trap? Gu Shuiyue thought that the old body wanted to do something to her, but the old body didn't do it. The old body asked her to be uneasy day and night, and she was uneasy at night, and she couldn't even eat well. ”
She was like a cat, keeping the mouse in a cage, torturing it and watching it suffer day by day.
The old lady said, and her mood became extremely happy.
Compared with her, Gu Shuiyue is still too young and immature.
Green smoke curls, and the woman's boudoir is filled with a layer of fragrance.
The woman dressed in red sat on the edge of the bed, her fingers as white as green onions twisting spices, thinking about something, as if she was in a trance.
Yinzhu was lying on the bed uncomfortable: "Niangniang, the slave maid should get up and serve." ”
After drinking Zhu, she wanted to turn over and get out of bed, but was held down by Gu Shuiyue.
"You're a sick person now. ”
"The slave's illness has long been cured, and even if the slave and maid are sick, they can't let the master guard it!"
Yinzhu still wanted to speak, Gu Shuiyue's finger was on her lips, and she let out a 'shhh', and Yinzhu hurriedly silenced. Footsteps rang out from far and near, and soon there was a knock on the door.
Gu Shuiyue opened the door and walked in with the doctor. Gu Shuiyue closed the door.
An Xian lowered his voice: "I am an old acquaintance with this doctor, and I can trust him as much as possible." ”
The doctor glanced at Gu Shuiyue, hiding the shock and excitement in his eyes, and arched his hand towards Gu Shuiyue. If you are at ease, combined with the doctor's actions, Gu Shuiyue will know that this old doctor is her own person.
The doctor did not go to see the patient, but took the teacup on the table, put it between his nose and sniffed it. The doctor put down the teacup, condensed his eyebrows and thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Niangniang, this tea is non-toxic." ”
"It's not poisonous?" Gu Shuiyue's face was a little surprised, "But I've felt a little unwell in recent days. ”
"Mother, the old man will check your body for you. ”
Through a layer of handkerchiefs, the doctor put his hand on Gu Shuiyue's pulse and felt it carefully.
"Niangniang's pulse is normal, and she is not poisoned. ”
Yancui is not an ordinary maid, she has been making tea in recent days, Gu Shuiyue thought that she had put a chronic poison in the tea, and let her die quietly. Now it seems that Yancui was not poisoned.
Keeping such a maid by her side, Gu Shuiyue always felt that it was difficult to sleep and eat. However, if she drives the smoke away, the old lady will send countless smoke and green, and this matter must be completely resolved to be at ease.
"I'm poisoned. Gu Shuiyue said.
The three of them looked at Gu Shuiyue with some stunned eyes, and they didn't understand the meaning of her words.
"Someone poisoned the concubine with the intention of murdering the concubine. The doctor found the poison from the tea that the concubine drank daily. Gu Shuiyue said.
An Xian reacted first, and said with a solemn face: "Who dares to be so bold and want to murder Niangniang!"
Yinzhu also hurriedly got up from the bed and stumbled to Gu Shuiyue's side: "Niangniang, are you okay?"
The doctor stroked his gray beard and said: "This poison accumulates day by day, and it will kill the mother in less than a month, and then there will be no power to return to heaven." ”
Gu Shuiyue's eyes suddenly sharpened: "Go to the main hall, call the people of the entire courtyard, and call the old lady and the two side princesses over!"
When Gu Shuiyue arrived, a group of people had already arrived. Meng Xiyu's eyes were inquiring, and the old lady's eyes were as calm as ever. As soon as Ashina Yan saw her, he floated to her side like a butterfly, and when he saw her face, he almost jumped up in surprise: "Sister, what's wrong with you? I haven't seen you for a few days, and your face is so bad?"
Gu Shuiyue was dressed in white, the robe was originally a loose style, and it was empty on her, which made her even more delicate, her face was very pale against the background of her black hair, her lips were slightly black, her complexion was very ugly, and she walked like floating.
Ashina Yan helped Gu Shuiyue to sit down in a position second only to the old lady.
The old lady didn't know which one Gu Shuiyue was singing, so she hurriedly called many people over. Looking at Gu Shuiyue's face again, she was just scaring and scaring Gu Shuiyue, could it be that Gu Shuiyue was so small that she was scared like this?
"Since you are not feeling well, you can rest well, why do you have to come out to work?" said the old lady in a gentle voice.
"Mother, Shui Yue can still walk around now, but Shui Yue is lying on the bed and can't move, and today I will deal with this matter and give an explanation to my mother and the entire palace!" Gu Shuiyue said righteously.
"What happened?" the old lady's brow furrowed.
Gu Shuiyue nodded towards the door, and the old doctor with the medicine box on his back walked in from outside, followed by a maid holding a cup of tea in his hand. The tea was already cold.
The old lady knew something in her heart.
"Mother, the concubine has felt a little unwell recently, so she invited a famous doctor in the capital to take a look at the concubine. The doctor said that the concubine was not sick, but poisoned, and after the doctor's investigation, he found that the poison was in the tea. Gu Shuiyue said.
The old lady's originally relaxed fingers suddenly hooked.
"Who poisoned it?" asked the old lady in a deep voice.
She didn't let people poison her, could it be that the girl in Qingping was smart?
When she asked Qingping to serve Gu Shuiyue, she didn't explain anything else, only asked her to serve Gu Shuiyue well. If Qingping really did something, it was also her personal behavior.
There is another possibility. Gu Shuiyue no longer sat still, but deliberately wronged Qingping. Qingping went out of her yard, and Gu Shuiyue's move was aimed at her. Of course, if she tore her face, she didn't have to be afraid of Gu Shuiyue.
The old lady squinted her eyes slightly, and when she opened her eyes again, she was already calm and calm.
"Bring the poisoned person up!" Gu Shuiyue said.
A maid was escorted in, and when she saw that it was Yancui kneeling on the ground, instead of Qingping, the calmness in the old princess's eyes could no longer be maintained.
Arranging the girl Yancui by Gu Shuiyue's side took the old lady's thoughts. The real Yancui is a rough girl, who has been released from the house, and this girl is actually the old lady's maiden family, who came from the impostor. Investigating Yancui's past has nothing to do with her at all, and besides, this girl is calm and introverted, no matter how suspicious Gu Shuiyue is, she shouldn't be suspicious of this maid.
When the old lady was pondering, Gu Shuiyue had already spoken: "This maid looks honest and honest, but the concubine didn't expect her to dare to poison the concubine's tea!"
The old lady couldn't figure out why.
She couldn't figure out Gu Shuiyue's intentions.
If you really want to deliberately wronged a person, then you should wronged Qingping, and it can be said that she instigated it at that time.
Could it be that Yancui really poisoned the tea?
The old lady was confused by Gu Shuiyue, so she simply didn't want to think about it, and followed her words and asked, "Why did she poison her?"
Gu Shuiyue said: "She was poisoned, but she refused to admit it, and she did not confess that someone instructed her." ”
"So what?"
"It is precisely because the person who can't find the mastermind is that the concubine feels terrible. The person who served the concubine closely wanted to kill the concubine with such a vicious mind. The concubine couldn't help but think, how many such people are around the concubine, whether there will be the side of the princess, whether there will be the side of the old lady, whether there will be the side of the prince, and how many such people are in the palace. As long as she thought of this question, the concubine felt chills all over her body. Gu Shuiyue's face showed a frightened expression, as if she was really frightened by her own thoughts.
"This is the palace, heavily guarded, if you really do this, are you not afraid of death without a place to be buried?" said the old lady.
But such a thing did happen, if it weren't for the doctor's timely discovery, the concubine would have been more than lucky. Gu Shuiyue said.
"So what?"
"The concubine thinks that the past of all the subordinates in the palace should be thoroughly investigated to ensure that no one does anything to endanger the prince and the concubine!" Gu Shuiyue said, "The concubine will personally deal with this matter, as long as the concubine is alive for a day, no one will be allowed to hurt the prince and the concubine!"
It was only at this time that the old lady finally understood Gu Shuiyue's intentions.
The subordinates of this palace are all her people, in charge of the family, Gu Shuiyue is in charge of the accounts of the palace, but she does not manage the subordinates of the palace, so her behavior is restricted everywhere in the palace. Gu Shuiyue just wanted to use an excuse to check the subordinates of the palace and replace them with her own people!
She had always been wary of Gu Shuiyue wronging her by poisoning, but she didn't expect it, so she didn't see the move. Now, when it comes to such a thing, Gu Shuiyue is so righteous and righteous, she has no reason to refute Gu Shuiyue's words at all!
