Chapter 59: Good Stuff
Ran, really ran away like this!
Gu Zhan's speed was as fast as a rabbit, and he disappeared without a trace after a while, leaving only Meng Xia with an inexplicable face standing in the wind inexplicably. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
After a moment, Meng Xia withdrew his gaze.
She shook the fluttering small porcelain bottle in her hand, estimating that there were very few things in it, and opened the cork of the small bottle and poured it into the palm of her hand to see, sure enough, there was only one one.
When I smelled it, it seemed to have a special fragrance, and I didn't know what kind of medicine it was made of.
Gu Zhan's appearance seems to be very precious, otherwise there is no need to wait for her here, just to give her such a pill.
It's just that this also ran too fast, and she didn't even have time to say a word before she was forcibly accepted.
I don't know if this thing is useful or not, but she wouldn't dare to use it under normal circumstances.
muttered to himself, but this was Gu Zhan's intention, it seemed that this guy was quite kind.
Presumably I heard that she was almost poisoned by Meng Jin, so he specially gave her an antidote in case of emergency.
"This Gu Zhan......" Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile, put away the small porcelain vase, and continued to walk back.
Just took a few steps, but Meng Xia was stopped again from behind.
This time, it was not someone else, but Liu Lida, who said that he had been ordered by the emperor to invite Meng Xia to go to the Huaide Hall to talk.
The emperor summoned him by name, Meng Xia changed his direction, and immediately followed Liu Lida to Huaide Palace.
"Father-in-law Liu, there's nothing special for my father to ask me to go, right?"
This is the first time that Emperor Meng Zhao has announced her alone, although she has been given the qualification to enter and leave the Huaide Palace freely, but she is not in a hurry to go.
Liu Lida affirmed: "The ninth princess just rest assured, there is no other special reason for the emperor to invite you over this time. I was probably tired, and I happened to think of you again, so I asked the servant to come over to talk to him and relax. This is a good thing, which shows that the impression of the ninth princess in the emperor's heart is getting closer and closer. ā
"Understood. Then, after a while, I wonder if my father-in-law has any advice for me? ā
Meng Xia humbly asked, wanting to see if Liu Lida could give some hints on this.
After all, the person who often accompanies his father and the emperor in this palace and understands his father's thoughts best is Liu Lida.
Of course, asking for advice is only one aspect, and it is more important to enhance the communication and tacit understanding with Liu Lida.
In the face of Meng Xia's inquiry, Liu Lida responded positively.
"The Ninth Princess is gifted and intelligent, and she has always done an excellent job when she faced the saint. There is no definite way to accompany you, just pay attention to the size, and everything else is according to what you have always thought. ā
He said frankly: "The ninth princess is bold and careful in front of the emperor, and frankly admits that she regards her as a father more than a king, and the trust and closeness that naturally flows out are the key to the emperor's treatment of you differently." ā
"Thank you father-in-law for mentioning it, Ah Xia should keep it in mind."
Meng Xia nodded, indicating that he understood.
In fact, these words are similar to what Concubine Ning said, and sure enough, the person who is at the top of the imperial power is also the loneliest person, but no one has ever been willing to admit it positively.
"Ninth princess, there is a sentence that the slave doesn't know whether to ask or not." After a while, Liu Lida looked at Meng Xia and said again.
"Father-in-law, please say, between us, there should be nothing that can't be asked."
Meng Xia smiled slightly, signaling that Liu Lida did not need to scruple.
Hearing this, Liu Lida said again: "When the slave came just now, he happened to see Gu Zhan, the son of General Gu's family, hurrying over, and I didn't see anyone next to him along the way, I don't know if that Gu Gongzi was with the Ninth Princess before?" ā
This question really seemed a little inexplicable, seeing that it was about Gu Zhan, Meng Xia didn't hide it, and directly took out the small porcelain bottle that he had just collected and handed it to Liu Lida.
"My father-in-law is right, you see, this was sent to me by Gu Zhan just now, saying that he had cured his father back then, and he could cure many kinds of poisons."
She thought about it for a while, and took the opportunity to ask: "I don't know exactly what kind of medicine this is, he stuffed things into me and ran away, without having time to say more." There's only one in it, and I don't know what kind of medicine it is. You're well-informed, just help me take a look, otherwise I wouldn't dare to use it indiscriminately. ā
Seeing this, Liu Lida nodded, stopped, took it first, and carefully examined the pill.
Soon, the inspection was completed.
Unlike before, Liu Lida carefully put the pill into the porcelain bottle and put it on the stopper, and then handed it to Meng Xia with both hands intact.
"Ninth Princess, you have to take good care of this." He looked quite serious and explained: "The slave has seen it, it is indeed a good thing, it can cure all kinds of poisons and has a lot of medicinal effects, it is rare!" ā
"Can you cure all kinds of poisons?" When Meng Xia heard this, he was immediately surprised, and subconsciously said: "I really didn't know that this thing was so good, no wonder I deliberately gave such a ......."
Hearing this, Liu Lida couldn't help laughing: "It is said that General Gu has only two in total, and he has been reluctant to take them out as a treasure." This time, Gu Gongzi can get one for you, and it is not easy to look at it according to the slave. ā
"There are only two in total, so if General Gu knows that this one is in my hands, won't Gu Zhan have to be unlucky?"
Liu Lida's words made Meng Xia even more surprised, he never thought that the pill in his hand was so difficult: "Since this is the case, then I will return it to him, I didn't want to come before, but he ran too fast and didn't have time to say anything." ā
"That's not necessary, no matter how precious something is, it's not unique and irreplaceable. However, Gu Gongzi's heart is commendable, if the ninth princess returns it, it will not be good, it is better to write down Gu Gongzi's favor, and return it when the right time is met in the future. ā
Liu Lida clearly expressed his opinion and did not agree with Meng Xia returning the things.
Not to mention that this pill is indeed very rare, the most important thing is to retain the exchange between people, which is more beneficial to the ninth princess in the future.
Seeing that Meng Xia was thoughtful, and seemed to be a little hesitant, Liu Lida said again: "The ninth princess doesn't know, the Gu family has a deep relationship with the Jiang family, the queen's mother's family, and at the same time, she is related to Liu Guifei's mother's family. Now it seems that the slaves are too careful, it is rare that Gu Gongzi is willing to befriend the Ninth Princess, why do you have to dismiss people's faces? ā
"I understand what my father-in-law meant."
Hearing this, Meng Xia nodded and put away the porcelain vase, no longer entangled.
Liu Lida is right, it is better for some people to owe than not to owe.
Seeing that Meng Xia quickly figured out what was at stake, Liu Lida nodded secretly, but didn't dwell on this matter anymore, and quickly led the way to continue to Huaide Palace.
After walking for a while, Liu Lida inadvertently turned his head to look at the back, retracted his gaze and gestured to Meng Xia: "The palace maid who followed behind was specially selected by the third prince for you?" ā
