As soon as September passed, news came from the Song family in Jiangnan, saying that King Jing had already set off for Beijing, and by the time the letter arrived in Beijing, King Jing was already halfway there.

The news naturally arrived at King Rui's Mansion first, and then reached the ears of Princess Jing. After the court learned about this, Princess Jing dared to show a little smile on her face, and she actually came to King Rui's mansion several times, saying that she was afraid that Gu Qingwan would be bored in the mansion to recuperate, so she came to talk to her.

On October 12, King Jing arrived in Beijing, although there were inevitably some troubles on the way back, but there was no danger. It's just that I want to meet Emperor Yufeng, and I have to discuss the affairs of Beijing with Empress Chen and Chen Guogong, but I have been busy with my feet for a while before I can finally stop and take a breath.

After Prince Jing returned to Beijing, because of the matter of the virtuous concubine in advance, Queen Chen and Chen Guogong's attitude towards Prince Jing changed a lot. Even when Chen Guogong and his subordinates discussed matters in private, he did not deliberately exclude Prince Jing.

finally waited for King Jing to be free, so in the name of Princess Jing, Zheng Rui and Gu Qingwan came to Princess Jing for a light meal.

Gu Qingwan only talked with Princess Jing outside, while Prince Jing went to talk with Zheng Rui in the study, and when the two came out, their faces were very solemn. Gu Qingwan's heart sank, but she didn't mention anything, she just resigned from Princess Jing and followed all the way out of King Jing's mansion.

Zheng Rui was also very silent in the carriage, until he entered the Wanjuan Hall, Gu Qingwan sent away the maids who were waiting in the house, and Zheng Rui said in a deep voice: "During this time, you will stay in the mansion under the pretext of recuperating from your injuries, and you will not go out easily, but I am afraid that I will not stay in the mansion often, and I have to ask you to help cover up one or two." ”

Gu Qingwan pursed her lips and nodded.

From the moment she learned that King Ke had raised a large amount of silver taels in Jiangnan, Gu Qingwan had a faint premonition in her heart. Historically, the most expensive thing is the military salary and grain grass for raising soldiers, and Prince Ke is secretly raising money at this time, I am afraid that he wants to break the kettle once.

Zheng Rui came out in a simple dress, and when he saw Gu Qingwan resting on the table with one hand supporting her chin, still thinking about it, she laughed: "It's not a good thing to think too much. It's not good to hurt yourself. ”

Seeing Gu Qingwan raise her head and glance at herself and quickly look away, Zheng Rui had a little more smile on his face: "I didn't want you to worry about these things, but now I don't think it's as good as I told you to come." ”

Gu Qingwan chuckled.

"You remember the last time I told you. After the year, the southern Xinjiang sent two warlocks to the palace? Zheng Rui thought about it, then sat down next to Gu Qingwan, and poured a cup of tea for himself and Gu Qingwan, which seemed to mean to sit often.

What Zheng Rui said was that General Zhenwei, the father of Concubine Li, found two warlocks who knew how to make elixirs from southern Xinjiang. Introduced to Emperor Yufeng by Concubine Li. Although Emperor Yufeng didn't believe it much, he still left the two warlocks in the palace.

He believed in those two warlocks more and more, and heard that he had eaten the elixir they had refined a while ago. The old diseases in the early years seem to have improved a lot, but now that I am unwell, I only remember to take pills, but I have never passed on the doctor. After speaking, Zheng Rui's face was a little sarcastic, "It's true that the older people get, the more confused they become, even if there is such an illusory thing as immortality, I believe it." ”

The more nostalgic I am for this world, the more I don't want to leave. Since ancient times, many emperors have sought immortality. It's just that he covets the power above all people, and wants to enjoy wealth and glory in his life.

"Two days ago, the imperial brother faced the saint, saying that his complexion really looked much better than before, but it was too wishful thinking to rely on the pill to prolong his life. But all such pills are more or less erysipelas, and the news was privately passed to the imperial brother in the hospital. His erysipelas is quite heavy, and now he looks so good, but it is only the end of the crossbow. ”

Gu Qingwan was a little stunned at this time, no wonder King Ke was in a hurry to go to Jiangnan to raise money, it turned out that he was just waiting for Emperor Yufeng to breathe. Naturally, there are also people from the virtuous concubine in the Tai Hospital, and it is normal to learn about these news in advance.

What is the condition of Emperor Yufeng's body, the concubines in the palace are afraid that they know better than themselves. If Emperor Yufeng knew, he didn't know if he would be cold. His wife, his old love, his brothers and courtiers all looked forward to his death, and his sons all looked forward to his death, hoping that they would die sooner and that they might take his place.

It's just that poor people must have something to hate, thinking of Emperor Yufeng's past, no wonder there is such a cause and effect.

Gu Qingwan thought in her heart, and then listened to Zheng Rui again: "Just two days ago, he heard that those two warlocks still had a teacher in Southern Xinjiang, and they said that they were some unborn masters, so he had some thoughts in his heart. Now that the holy decree is on the way, General Zhenwei must invite that worldly master to Beijing. ”

After speaking, Zheng Rui laughed in a low voice, and he couldn't tell whether it was more mockery or more emotion in his voice.

As soon as Gu Qingwan wanted to persuade Zheng Rui to say a few words, she heard Gui Ye raise her voice outside: "Princess, someone has been sent from King Huai's mansion, and it is the original big girl Fu Xia next to Princess Huai who brought the message. ”

This Fuxia Gu Qingwan still has some impressions, when she went to Huaiwang's mansion before she left the pavilion, Princess Huai let this maid named Fuxia follow her. When she arrived at Huai Wangfu as Princess Rui, she asked casually, only to know that Fu Xia had already left the cabinet, but she was also married to someone in the palace, and now she is the housekeeper in the inner courtyard.

But there are so many housekeepers and old grandmothers in the palace, but Princess Huai just sent Fu Xia over, and I am afraid that there are also her own thoughts.

Gu Qingwan saw Zheng Rui nodding at herself, and then said, "You take Hongying, invite Fu Xia to eat tea in the side hall, and then ask Wu Shun's family to accompany her to talk." If there is any news, let Hongying talk back again. ”

Hongying's family did Gu Qingwan's marriage, Wu Shun's family was Hongying's mother-in-law, Gu Qingwan paid attention to it for a while, and saw that she was very neat in doing things, and after Hongying raised it, she also reused Wu Shun's family. The few grandmothers who married her are all old people in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, and there is a little constant relationship with the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, and most of the things she is doing now are handed over to the big maids and housekeepers around her.

Guiye didn't come in, but just answered outside the curtain and went down.

Sure enough, after a while, Hongying hurriedly came over to reply, and brought an invitation written by Princess Huai, saying that the begonias in Huaiwang's Mansion are blooming just now, and she wants to invite Gu Qingwan to Huaiwang's Mansion to enjoy flowers and wine.

The invitation card was placed on the table, and Gu Qingwan nodded with her index finger: "It seems that I haven't seen it for more than a month, and the imperial aunt is afraid that she is worried about me." (To be continued.) )
