211 A side concubine is not as good as gold
Prince Li guarded the princess during the day, and after Prince Li woke up in the evening, he and Qin Yi went back to rest, so when Gu Qing arrived late, only Qin Yu was there.
Hearing that she was coming, Qin Yu hurriedly greeted her, and saw that Gu Qingwan really woke up, his face was also ruddy, and he seemed to be illuminated by the light, and his spirit suddenly improved a lot.
He stepped forward and took Gu Qingwan's hand, and there was a gentle light flowing in his heterochromatic eyes, like a stream flowing silently, clear and long.
Gu Qingwan was a little uncomfortable by him, tilted his head slightly, and said, "Your Highness can rest today?" ”
Qin Yu saw that her first sentence was to care about herself, and her heart became more and more comfortable, only to feel that this day and night had really experienced great ups and downs, great sorrows and joys.
He held Gu Qingwan's hand and said, "During the day, my father and eldest brother guarded my mother's concubine, and my lord went back to Xuejing Courtyard to sleep for two hours, but it was Qingqing, but you were tired, so you didn't rest for a while." ”
Gu Qingwan shook her head and said, "I've slept enough, I'm very energetic this time, come and see the princess." ”
The two entered the inner hall while talking, and when Gu Qing looked over, he saw a strange-looking maid kneeling beside the bed, moisturizing the lips of Prince Li with a handkerchief dipped in warm water.
There were still a few maids standing in the room, but they were all a little dumbfounded, Gu Qingwan knew that Xiang Xue and the others, who were usually waiting, had probably been detained and waiting for interrogation, so she remained silent, but she didn't see it, and stepped forward.
The princess's face was a little flushed, Gu Qingwan touched her tentacles, and her forehead was a little hot.
In order to slow down the blood flow last night, the princess was thrown into the ice water on a cold day, and the princess's typhoid fever was inevitable, Gu Qingwan pursed her lips, sat down and checked the pulse of the princess again, seeing that Qin Yu had been staring at herself intently, she put the princess's hand away, and then said with a smile: "Your Highness, don't be so nervous, the princess is fine." Even now, I have some typhoid fever and my body is also very weak, so I will be fine after a while. It's just that the princess has suffered so much, and the person who poisoned her is really hateful! ”
Qin Yu's face was a little cold, his eyes were cold and cold, and he said, "Find out, if you don't cramp her thin skin, it's not enough to vent your hatred!" ”
Gu Qingwan covered Qin Yu's hand and shook it vigorously.
The person who poisoned him was indeed hateful, seventeen or eighteen years later, not only deprived the Qin Yu brothers of their right to enjoy mother's love when they were young, but also made the princess suffer so much every year, scheming, insidious and vicious.
If she was Qin Yu, she probably wouldn't be able to peel her skin and cramp it, but it would not be enough to vent her hatred.
However, if it is found out that it is really the work of Prince Li's concubine, presumably the relationship between Prince Li and the princess who has just eased up will have twists and turns.
Gu Qingwan pursed her lips and said, "Your Highness may not know that this time the princess was poisoned and fainted, and maybe there is a role for me." ”
Seeing Qin Yu's puzzled look, Gu Qingwan said again: "Some time ago, the princess had a headache, didn't I come over every day to serve the decoction?" I actually added some medicine to the princess's decoction, which I also used when I detoxified the princess last night. ”
Mama Chen stood aside, and also heard Gu Qingwan's words, she couldn't help but clap her hands, with a look of surprise, and said: "Why didn't my aunt say it earlier, the princess and the old slave were still wondering how the princess's head stroke disease could get better so quickly this time, and it never recurred after it got better, I couldn't figure it out, it turned out that the reason was my aunt." However, how did the aunt add the medicine to the princess's decoction? Why didn't the slaves find out? Did my aunt suspect that the princess was poisoned at that time? Why didn't my aunt say it? ”
Mama Chen didn't mean to blame Gu Qingwan, after all, Gu Qingwan saved the life of Prince Li, and she had done tricks and feet in Princess Li's medicine before, and also treated Princess Li, she was just shocked and scared, surprised by Gu Qingwan's previous way of hiding everyone, and was also a little scared, they didn't even notice Gu Qingwan's actions when they served the princess, what a big mistake this must be.
Gu Qingwan didn't want to say it, but she felt that this incident might be related to her previous treatment of Princess Li's head wind, so she opened her mouth.
She smiled at Mama Chen and said, "Mama didn't notice that I was doing anything, that's because I put in the decoction is a very small pill, and the decoction will melt immediately, and it is not easy to be discovered." The most important thing is that I have no reason or motive to murder the princess, and both the grandmother and the princess believe in me, which gives me the opportunity to get close to the princess's decoction. This is not a dereliction of duty and mistakes on the part of the grandmother and the maids, and there is no need for the grandmother to panic and blame herself. ”
After she finished speaking, she looked at Qin Yu and said, "Your Highness also knows, when the princess's head wind attacked, I hadn't studied medicine with Master Lonely Sky, and even if I took out that pill at that time, I might not be able to use it." I was also afraid of trouble, so I secretly added it to the princess's decoction. It's good that it works left and right, but even if it doesn't work, I can guarantee that it will definitely not be harmful to the princess's condition, so I hid it. However, I really didn't find out that the princess was poisoned at that time, and my pill was a cure for head wind. ”
Seeing Qin Yu nodding to say that he didn't blame her, Gu Qing smiled and said: "However, many medicines have multiple effects, the flower poison caused the princess's headache, but the medicine used to treat the head wind disease relieved the headache, it is obvious that the medicine for the treatment of the head wind disease has a certain detoxification effect." So my pill may be more effective, so I accidentally solved some of the poison in the princess's body at that time. ”
Hearing this, Qin Yu already understood what Gu Qingwan meant, and said, "The master said that the person who was poisoned for seventeen or eighteen years has not been exposed, why did there be such a big difference this time." It turns out that here's why. ”
Gu Qingwan nodded and said: "The human body can also be resistant to poison, just like the two years when that person just poisoned the princess, the princess had a very severe seizure, and she couldn't go out for many months as an adult." Slowly, the princess adapted to this poison, and the appearance of the head wind was controlled. This year, I accidentally solved some of the princess's poison, but the person who poisoned it didn't know this, she only thought that the princess was no longer sensitive to this kind of flower poison, so she must have increased the weight of the flower poison, thinking that only in this way could the princess have a headache again. But who knows, after increasing the weight, the princess couldn't stand it all of a sudden, and broke out, but was almost poisoned by that person. Therefore, I am also responsible for the disaster of the princess this time, if I hadn't solved part of the poison, the person who poisoned would not have been ruthless, and the princess would not have been poisoned so strictly. ”
Seeing Gu Qing's apologetic face, Qin Yu pulled her into his arms, stroked her head, and said, "How can I blame you, don't think nonsense, you saved the life of your mother, and you remember it in your heart." ”
Mama Chen also hurriedly spoke, "Auntie, don't say that." This time, the princess can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, otherwise, the flower poison has not been discovered, and the princess has been treated as a disease of head wind, and she suffers from head wind every year, and the toxins have accumulated, and she may not be able to see what will happen in the future. What's more, the person who poisoned it cannot be exposed, and such a scourge is hidden in the shadows, and sooner or later it will lead to greater calamity. ”
Even Mama Chen can figure out the truth, Prince Li and Qin Yu naturally understand it very well, how can they blame Gu Qingwan.
Gu Qingwan breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, looked at the princess of Li, who was still asleep, and said, "Have you found out, how did the princess get poisoned?" ”
Qin Yu shook his head and said: "The mother concubine has not really come to her senses, the people who should be tried have been imprisoned, and those who should be stared at have been stared at, and the mother concubine will be investigated when she is sober." ”
Obviously, Prince Qin and Prince Li both counted this matter, so Gu Qingwan didn't ask any more. It just so happened that Imperial Physician Feng heard that Gu Qingwan was coming, so he came over to discuss the matter of changing the prescription, Gu Qingwan and Imperial Physician Feng discussed the condition of the princess, and took the opportunity to ask Imperial Physician Feng a few questions, which caused Imperial Physician Feng to be confused and couldn't figure out whether Gu Qingwan's medical skills were high or low.
Gu Qing slept too much during the day, and he was very energetic at night, Qin Yu wanted to stay in the Qingshuang courtyard to keep vigil this night, so Gu Qing simply stayed at night.
It was day and night, Qin Yu directly asked Mama Chen to spread the futon on the pedal, and he slept on the pedal next to the bed, but let Gu Qing rest on the Luohan bed by the window at night, and Mama Chen and the maid were left outside.
At night, there was only one horn lamp left in the inner room, and after Gu Qingwan lay down, she didn't fall asleep after she tossed over, thinking that Princess Li was still a little hot when she lay down, so she got up, bypassed Qin Yu who was stepping on her feet, went to the side of the bed, and leaned over and touched Princess Li's forehead.
The tentacles were warm, but there was no burning feeling, Gu Qingwan gave Prince Li another pulse, and the pulse was much more stable.
She put Prince Li's hand back into the brocade quilt and looked at the sleeping princess in a daze.
I don't know how long she sat silently before she suddenly came back to her senses and stood up, but she didn't want to turn back and met Qin Yu's clear eyes lying down.
Gu Qingwan was stunned, Qin Yu had already moved to the side, and stretched out his hand at Gu Qingwan.
Gu Qingwan put his hand in his palm, and was taken by him to lie down beside him, the two of them were huddled together on the narrow footrest, their eyes facing each other under the dim light shadow, the candlelight swayed slightly, and there was a kind of quiet peace.
Qin Yu's gaze was gentle like the warm sun in winter, he stroked Gu Qingwan's cheek, and said in a low voice, "Can't you sleep?" ”
Gu Qingwan shook her head with a smile and said, "I slept a lot during the day, I won't be sleepy at all, Your Highness hasn't slept for long, why haven't you slept yet?" Did I wake you up? ”
Qin Yu didn't answer, just stared at Gu Qingwan with deep eyes, gently groped the corners of her eyebrows with his thumb, and said after a while: "What are you thinking about sitting on the edge of your mother's bed just now?" ”
Gu Qingwan was stunned, instinctively glanced at the princess and princess on the bed, and said, "I didn't think about anything, I just slept a lot during the day, my mind was a little heavy, and I was in a daze unconsciously." ”
Qin Yu's eyes shone slightly, he just looked at her back sitting in front of the bed, and clearly saw that she was low and resistant, and she unconsciously clasped her hands, as if she was seeking self-protection.
Qin Yu looked at Gu Qingwan with slightly drooping eyes, holding her face, forcing her to look at herself, looking at each other, he said word by word: "I'm not my father, I won't let you face such a situation like your mother, believe me!" ”
Qin Yu's voice was very low, but it was loud, slightly shaking his eardrums, his expression was very serious, his heterochromatic eyes were firm and calm, like a deep sea.
Gu Qingwan believed in his determination, but she still had no confidence in the future. Prince Li even gave the princess the position of the main room, but so what? The princess has not suffered all the grievances and suffering. Qin Yu couldn't even give her the position of the main room, how could he guarantee that she would not be free from grievances and suffering like Prince Li in the future.
He's wronged enough for her right now, enough to suffer. If there is a love, but let her exchange self-esteem and pride, and exchange it for compromise and self-loss, she will choose to discard this love.
Gu Qingwan smiled and pillowed his head on Qin Yu's shoulder, his heart was as hard as iron, and said, "I know, Your Highness, go to sleep." ”
Qin Yuyuan was extremely tired, so he held Gu Qingwan in his arms at this moment, smelled the familiar and warm fragrance on her body, closed his eyes, and fell asleep in an instant.
The next day, before dawn, Prince Li and Princess Li came to her senses, and Gu Qingwan took her pulse, and her body was much better. Mama Chen had already instructed the maid to inform Prince Li and Qin Yi.
When Prince Li arrived, Imperial Physician Feng was in the house to ask the princess for a pulse, and Gu Qing avoided the outer room in the evening, preparing to take Wen Qing back to the Snow Courtyard.
When Prince Li saw Gu Qingwan, he smiled and said, "Did the princess really wake up?" Nothing more."
Gu Qing blessed her body in the evening and said, "The princess is fine, don't worry." ”
Prince Li suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, the smile on his face expanded, and he said again and again: "Okay, good." Thanks to you for saving the princess's life this time, Ah Yu, this stinky boy, will pick women! Okay, this concubine is good! ”
Gu Qingwan, "......"
Gu Qingwan also felt that Qin Yu was really good at robbing women, and she felt that she had the potential of the Holy Mother. Qin Yu forcibly accepted her, she didn't take advantage of the night to give him a knife, and built the Fuyun Hall for Prince Li's Mansion for free, helped Prince Li take care of the flower room, taught the secret guards of Prince Li's Mansion to disguise herself, and also acted as a doctor to detoxify the princess.
It's simply a model of repaying grievances with virtue! If you get the selection of the best virtuous concubine of the year in Daqin, how can she be awarded like this.
But in an instant, Gu Qingwan laughed self-deprecatingly, there has always been only the saying of a good wife and a beautiful concubine, as long as the concubine is responsible for her beauty, if she is a virtuous person, it is not professional, it is not her duty. If there is really a selection, she is the public enemy of the main family, and the scum of the anti-society, so she can only be spurned.
"Don't worry, this time you have made a great contribution, this king must be rewarded heavily, today this king will go to the Zongren Mansion, and first put you on the position of side concubine."
Prince Li's voice sounded again, Gu Qingwan smiled dryly and blessed Prince Li again, and said, "The prince should reward him with more gold, I prefer gold." By the way, the princess has woken up, so go in and visit, and I will retire first. ”
With that, she bypassed Prince Li and walked out.
Prince Li was stunned for a while before he reacted, and muttered, "Prefer gold? Sure enough, the temperament and hobbies of the miracle doctor are weird. ”
Prince Li shook his head and entered the inner room, Gu Qing came out of Qiushuang Courtyard late, but Wen Qing was very happy, and followed behind Gu Qingwan step by step, and said: "How can the girl tell the prince that she prefers gold, what if the prince takes it seriously!" ”
Gu Qingwan glanced back at Wen Qing in surprise, and said, "It's good to let the prince take it seriously, do you think I'm joking with the prince?" ”
Wen Qing, "......"
She stood still in a daze, and seeing that Gu Qingwan had already walked out of the distance in front of her, she looked slightly anxious, chased after her, and said, "Girl, what do you think?" Although the gold is also very good, the position of the side concubine is not something that can be bought with gold. The side concubine is going to go to the royal jade butterfly, and she has a fateful grade, and she will be able to enjoy incense after death in the future. The girl is not short of silver, how can she not be a concubine for the sake of gold! ”
Wen Qing said energetically, but Gu Qingwan didn't respond, her steps were faster, she was a head taller than Wen Qing, and her legs were long, and she threw the long-winded Wen Qing behind her in an instant.
Wen Qing's forehead was sweating, and she lifted her skirt, "Girl, girl, don't go so fast, girl, think about what the slave said, you can't lose the watermelon and pick up sesame seeds, girl, why don't you speak......"
Prince Li and Princess Li came to their senses, and Prince Li began to investigate the poisoning of the princess. The maids who had served the princess earlier had been imprisoned.
There is no news from the outside world, and I don't know what happened to the princess, so that these maids are simply living like years, and they don't know what they are facing.
Now that a day and night have passed, there is still no one to interrogate them, so that they are all speculating that the princess may be dead, so the palace is so busy with grief and funeral that it can't take care of them anymore.
Just when the maids were on the verge of collapse, they were released, kneeling in the dazzling sun, and they were all so tormented that they were all emaciated, trance-like, and terrified.
Prince Li entered the courtyard with a calm face, stood on the steps with his hands in his hands, and said, "The princess was poisoned, who did what or knew something, stand up now." This king only gives you one chance, and if you miss it, everyone will have only one result, death! ”
The maids immediately sat down in panic, and then someone spoke.
"The prince spared his life, and the slave didn't do anything. The princess suddenly became ill after eating a bowl of bird's nest porridge, and the bowl of bird's nest porridge was made in the small kitchen and served to the princess to Mei. ”
As soon as the maid spoke, the maid named Xiang Mei slammed her head in horror and cried: "Lord Mingjian, the slave maid brought bird's nest porridge to the princess, but the slave maid really didn't do anything, and the slave didn't know anything." ”
Prince Li's eyes were sharp, staring at Xiang Mei without saying a word, and kowtowing to Mei even more, "Lord, the slave really doesn't know anything, it's not a slave, it's not a slave." The bird's nest porridge was made by Dong's mother in the small kitchen, it was her, and she must have poisoned it. ”
Mother Dong stared at Xiang Mei with hatred on her face when she heard this, and said sharply: "Little hoof, if you talk nonsense again, the old lady will tear your mouth apart!" You black-hearted and rotten lungs, slandering the old lady! You don't have to die well! ”
Prince Li's brain hurt from the noise, and he had already instructed Mama Chen to check all the things that Princess Li had touched on the day of her poisoning. Although the princess was poisoned not long after eating the bird's nest porridge, Prince Keli did not think there was anything wrong with the bird's nest porridge.
Although the flower poison is very domineering, the princess is considered a chronic poison, and the flower poison is a little bit, which has been sent into the princess's body for many years. Therefore, whether it is poison in food or in the things used, this kind of thing should be accessible to the princess every day.
And this kind of thing, Prince Li never loved it, and rarely ate it, and on the day of poisoning, Princess Li just used it on a whim.
Sure enough, Mama Chen came over soon, but she shook her head at Prince Chongli and said, "The things that the princess ate that day, plus the small kitchen of Qiushuang Courtyard, the slaves and maids have all been carefully inspected by the minifigures, and indeed no problems have been found." ”
Prince Li frowned when he heard this, and his eyes looked over the silent maids in the courtyard, and said, "You don't want to say anything? Good! Okay, then they will all be tied up and thrown into a private prison by this king, and interrogated one by one! ”
Prince Li's Mansion has a private prison, and if you go in, it is not a means like a court cane, all kinds of criminal laws and various torture tools, do not lose the prison, and if you enter, don't think about coming out alive.
The maids and ladies of the inner house have never been in a private prison, but they have heard of a private prison, and they can't stand the punishment when they hear that the secret guards of the palace have entered.
They knew that if they entered, life would be worse than death, and suddenly they were all colorless.
"Lord, slave maid...... The slave and maid have something to say. ”
At this time, a maid finally opened her mouth tremblingly.
T
