"Congratulations to Master Gu on being promoted to open the mansion!"

Gu Qingning visited Zhijingting, Zhongli was feeding the fish by the pond, and when he saw her, he jokingly said that he was happy.

"Today, an Lord Gu opened a mansion, and a Lord Gu was promoted, which 'Lord Gu' are you congratulating?"

Gu Qingning's tone was very sarcastic, standing next to Zhongli, he reached out and grabbed a handful of big fish food, and threw it directly into the pond, ending Zhongli's interest in feeding the fish early.

When I heard this, I knew that something was wrong, there was a conflict between the Gu family, Zhongli didn't ask much, and instead said: "I heard that you haven't moved into the new mansion yet, so you let people go around looking for beautiful men and women to raise in the mansion?

Recently, rumors about this matter have been spreading, and there are voices criticizing and accusing Gu Qingning both openly and secretly, but she doesn't care anymore, and when she heard Zhongli ask, she just chuckled and asked rhetorically: "What's the matter, High Priest, do you think there's anything wrong with it?"

"It's not right. Zhongli raised his eyebrows and smiled, leaned in front of her, and teased: "I just think, Master Gu, you want to recruit a beauty to raise a face, how can you not miss this high priest?"

Gu Qingning turned to look at him, the two stood by the pond fence, very close, Gu Qingning did not avoid his playful and straightforward gaze, but smiled at him affectionately, and suddenly became very soft, and turned around, forcing Zhongli to lean against the fence, leaning forward, Zhongli had to lean back, and the fence only reached his waist, so his upper body was suspended.

She was still approaching him, caressing his face, thoughtfully, and said casually: "The posture of the high priest Zhongli is indeed a must, enough to compare how many faces...... However, no matter how greedy and lustful I am, I don't dare to compete with Your Majesty for favor, so High Priest Zhongli, you and I have no chance......"

Zhongli was shocked when he heard this, his body was unbalanced, and he almost fell into the pond, but after Gu Qingning finished speaking, he turned to the side and no longer looked at him, his face was full of indifference.

"You...... How do you know? You have long doubted me? You think I am Your Majesty's person? Have you never believed me?" He seemed to be in a hurry, and asked the indifferent Gu Qingning.

Gu Qingning snorted and sneered: "Yes, I have long found out about the relationship between you and Your Majesty, I have never believed you, but I can't talk about believing or not, at least you have not deceived us so far, you are just using us to achieve your purpose, it just so happens that our purpose coincides with you, so we have our own selfishness and achieve each other." Your life experience, your hatred, by Your Majesty, was used by us to eliminate the Yin family, and we will help you avenge your hatred while achieving this goal for Your Majesty. Your Majesty uses your secrets and uses you to approach us and spy on us...... Isn't that what it is?"

Zhongli's face froze, and he couldn't open his lips for a long time, and then turned his back and faced the remnant sun in the sky: "Yes, that's it." ”

Gu Qingning glanced at his back, "In short, it couldn't be clearer." I just want to talk about it, in the future, you and I will go our separate ways, don't talk about personal relationships, so it's more calm, otherwise if you keep pretending, I'm tired, and you're tired. ”

He didn't respond, Gu Qingning was about to leave after speaking, Zhongli suddenly looked back and said to her, "Qingning...... It's not that clear, not everything can be clearly distinguished...... I know that I have something that His Majesty can use, but I also truly love Your Majesty, and Your Majesty also treats me with true affection!"

It was only then that she realized that Zhongli was really the most innocent person she knew.

"What's the use of telling me? Don't forget, you once said that you loved the second prince, and then it was ...... Your Majesty, Zhongli, perhaps, you are really different people from us, but please understand what you are doing, and then ...... Just do what you want. ”

Gu Qingning turned around and walked towards Fusu, who was waiting for her at the gate of the garden, she came this time to pick up Fusu and leave Zhijingting, Fusu was naturally very happy, and immediately went to pack up her things and go to her Shilang's Mansion with Gu Qingning.

After packing up their things, it was already late in the evening, and the sparse lamps were lit in the Zhijing Garden, and they came to the pond again, and saw Zhongli sitting alone on the fence, holding up to the moon, drinking cup by cup.

Fusu walked over there, stopped in front of him, waited for him to turn his eyes and saw him, and then the two looked at each other for a moment, he smiled at Fusu, and Fusu bowed to him to thank him for taking him in for so long, and to say goodbye.

He raised his glass to Fusu and drank it all.

A silent farewell drew the curtain.

After they left Zhijing Garden, the man in the garden, leaning on the railing and looking down at the moon in the pond, raised his hand and poured down half a pot of old wine, invited the fish to drink, and drunk a pool of koi......

……

The government and the opposition are rumoring that she is a female official who is dissolute by nature and rampant with filthy things, she never explains, she does not hide it, she just does what she has to do, and she also enjoys watching those who talk about her behind her back becoming more and more afraid of her in front of her, she finds that in this way, in fact, many things are simpler.

For example, she didn't have to think of excuses to prevaricate, why didn't she attend her father's promotion banquet?

Still moved out of your house the night before?

And why did he open a new mansion but didn't hold a banquet to entertain his colleagues?

Does a smudgled person care about that? wouldn't it be strange that she was going too far?

Fusu arrived at her new mansion and became her housekeeper, taking care of her affairs, and sharing another more important task for her - finding and training beautiful young girls.

The beauties she bought into the mansion were all cultivated by Fusu for a period of time, and the more excellent ones continued to be trained and observed, and the inappropriate ones stayed in the mansion as ordinary subordinates.

As for what these beauties are used for? Only she and Fusu know.

She is busy in the government office every day, and the affairs of the house are handed over to Fusu, and Fusu is not just taking care of the affairs of the house for her, Fusu still has his own things to do, that is, researching prescriptions and refining medicines.

After Hua Ruotian died, the Hua family of the king of Western medicine was extinct, and just at this time he met with Fu Su, the orphan of the family of the king of Eastern medicine, and Hua Jingting accepted Fu Su as a righteous daughter and passed on her Hua family medical skills. Before moving into Gu Qingning's new mansion, Fusu often went to Hua's house to study medical skills with Huashen Doctor, and now she also runs to Hua's house whenever she has free time, and also set up a pharmacy in the new mansion to refine and test medicines all day long.

Gu Qingning came to the door of the pharmacy, Fu Su was sorting medicinal materials next to the medicine furnace, preparing to clear the furnace for rerefining, she came, Fu Su only looked up and smiled at her, and then continued to do things.

She walked in and saw the pile of drug names piled up on the table, only to feel dizzy by the dense drug names on it, and flipped through it casually, she was simply amazed, and said with a smile: "These ...... It's almost comparable to the piles of articles on the public case in the political hall...... Fusu, don't you have a headache with these all day long?"

Fusu nodded in response, shrugging indifferently.

She understood, and raised it casually, "Okay...... You mean, you're just going to pile them up here and not even take a second look?"

Fusu smiled and nodded again.

"That's exactly the same as the statement on the public case of the political affairs hall. She was happy, too.

In this full case of prescriptions, Gu Qingning glanced over and noticed not only one person's handwriting, but also another person's handwriting, and that handwriting was particularly familiar. She is good at imitating people's handwriting, so she pays more attention to these, finds a few and carefully checks them, and finds that she has indeed seen this handwriting, which is from Hua Jingting, a Chinese divine doctor, and she has read the prescription he wrote.

"These prescriptions were written by Dr. Hua, why did he give you so many waste prescriptions?" she asked casually.

Fusu paused what he was doing, looked back at her, and said nothing.

Gu Qingning guessed: "These are all written by him...... But he doesn't know how effective it is, so let Fusu match him with you, right?"

Fusu nodded.

"Is Dr. Hua Shen trying out any new prescriptions, and what diseases are being cured?" she couldn't help but ask.

Fusu lowered his head and thought about it, as if he felt that he shouldn't hide anything from her, so he put down the medicine basket and took a pen and wrote a few words on the paper to answer.

Gu Qingning watched her write, and read out one by one as she wrote: "Male...... Child...... No...... Educate...... Hide...... ...... symptoms"

"Is it to cure this disease?How is Doctor Hua studying this disease......" She couldn't help but think about it.

After thinking silently for a while, she cautiously asked Fusu: "Fusu, did Doctor Hua tell you, is he dispensing medicine for whom?"

There is nothing abnormal in the doctor's study of pathological prescriptions, but Dr. Hua Shen used to work in Tai Hospital after all, and the patients he came into contact with were either rich or expensive, which easily made her suspicious.

Gu Qingning thought about Doctor Hua, and then remembered a question that she didn't understand before, because there were so many things, she almost forgot about that question, and at this moment she had to think deeply.

Hua Jingting had just passed the age of confusion, so why did he retire from the Tai Hospital so early? Even two years earlier than the old imperial doctor Tang Zhiqian of his uncle's generation. Isn't this strange? Doctor Hua's medical skills have reached the pinnacle, and at his age, and with his own arrogant nature, he can completely enter the future. Why don't you even fight for the position and honor of the chief physician of the Tai Hospital?

The more he thought about it, the more weird Gu Qingning felt, yes, it was weird.

Contact all kinds of things she knows about Hua Jingting, what is the medicine king, what is the elixir of the longevity sect, and the early death of Hua Ruotian, the only descendant of the Hua family...... It's really unusual.

Thinking about it further, she naturally thought of someone.

It is the Holy One today.

Gu Qingning read as he spoke, "This medicine ...... Won't it be for ...... Who's got it?"

While looking up at Fusu, he met Fusu's penetrating gaze unexpectedly.

The moment they looked at each other, Fusu just nodded.

She didn't speak, didn't make any sound, but Gu Qingning seemed to hear something loud in her ears, and she couldn't slow down for a while.

His Majesty is nearly thirty years old, and although there are not many concubines, there are many concubines, and there are no heirs so far......

Gu Qingning figured this out, and he was frightened by his own conjectures, not to mention Fusu's silent hints.

She didn't know how much Fusu knew, or if Doctor Hua had told Fusu anything, or if Fusu had guessed it herself. In short, the secret is amazing......

She immediately tore up the piece of paper on which she had written, threw it into the fire and burned it to ashes, and finally looked at Fusu and said solemnly: "Fusu, maybe you already know something, I won't ask you, but you have to remember that these must be kept secret, and from now on, don't have too much contact with Hua Shenyi...... Do you understand? Can you promise me?"

Fusu also looked at her, as if he had understood something, pursed his lips and thought for a moment before nodding his head in agreement.

……

In June, the summer day is difficult for people to be safe, even in the most quiet private room of Jiangyue Tower, there are herbal tea, fresh fruits, ice jian, paper fans, and ventilation windows...... But it still can't make people sit down peacefully, at least Jiang Hechuan, the shopkeeper of Jiang Yuelou, can't do it.

He paced back and forth in the room, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat and he didn't bother to wipe it, just like an ant on a hot pot, completely lost his soul, lost his way, anxious and with no way out, he could only go round and round like this.

There is another person in the private room, that is, Gu Qingxuan.

He drank Jiang Yuelou's special summer tea, but he couldn't relieve the impatience brought to him by Jiang Hechuan, and there was nothing he could do, so he could only watch him pacing back and forth in a circle.

"Why hasn't there been news yet? It's been a long time...... Something can't be wrong, right? God, don't happen...... You have to ...... smoothly," he muttered as he spun around.

Gu Qingxuan shook the paper fan lightly and sighed, "I haven't seen you so messy for many years." ”

……

At the same time, in Chang'an City, there is a place that is even more "chaotic", that is the Jin Palace.

Because Princess Xiao is giving birth today.

The princess screamed in the room for a long time and still failed to give birth to the child, and the doctor Wenpo changed a few batches but still did not improve, and the prince almost fainted several times, and the whole house was messed up.

At three o'clock that night, the princess finally gave birth.

……

At the moment of the second watch, a small servant of Jiang Yuelou was in a hurry, without knocking on the door, and directly broke into the private room where the shopkeeper was located, and delivered a brief letter to Jiang Hechuan, and then went out without saying a word.

Jiang Hechuan opened the letter tremblingly, and Gu Qingxuan couldn't sit still either, so he walked next to him.

A short sentence on paper made Jiang Hechuan sluggish for a long time.

He looked at Gu Qingxuan, a little surprised and at a loss: "It's born, it's born, it's a boy...... Mother and child are safe ......"

Gu Qingxuan breathed a sigh of relief, but as soon as his mind turned, he couldn't help frowning.

Jiang Hechuan finally sat down and said to Gu Qingxuan in disbelief: "I have a son?" Brother Qingxuan, is this true? I have a son......

Gu Qingxuan sat down on the ground opposite him, was speechless for a long time, and then put one hand on his shoulder and said heavily, "No...... Brother Hechuan, you have to remember, it is the prince of Jin who has a son, it is the palace of the king of Jin, and he has a son......"

The smile on Jiang Hechuan's face disappeared, and he looked at Gu Qingxuan blankly, listening to him keep saying to himself: "For the safety of their mother and son, you can't let this child have anything to do with you, you and her affairs must be like they have never been." Brother Hechuan, do you remember? That child will become the prince of the Jin Palace, the future prince ......"
