Back in the dormitory, Gu Yunxin and Zhuo Qian have been staying in the house and chatting, Hong Xuan and Hong Ling are guarding the door, in order to facilitate the protection of Gu Yunxin's safety, Hong Xuan specially brought a stove from the kitchen to boil water at the door of the room.

At this moment, a female voice sounded outside the door, "The slave maid is Concubine Wen's maidservant, and she is here to bring snacks to the princess." ”

Concubine Wen? She has never had any contact with this Concubine Wen, how could she think of sending snacks to herself?

"Fifth sister-in-law, who is this Concubine Wen, why haven't I heard of this person's name?" Zhuo Qian lowered his voice.

"I don't know, maybe it's my father's concubine." Gu Yunxin lightly tasted the milk in his hand.

"Father's concubine? My father is old, how can I still take a concubine, and if a young girl marries him, it will be a loss. Zhuo Qian pouted.

Hearing this, Gu Yunxin patted Zhuo Qian's shoulder with a chuckle, "Don't talk nonsense, my father is the Son of Heaven, and the woman in this harem was originally my father's woman." ”

"It's all my father's woman, it's too much. Besides, not all women want to be the emperor's woman. Zhuo Qian pouted.

Although Zhuo Qian was open-mouthed, what she said was the truth, even the concubines who entered the palace may not all like the emperor, they only entered the palace for their own family.

Competing for favor in the harem, but also to survive safely, and also to work hard for the prosperity of his family.

It is naturally lucky to be favored by the emperor, but there are still many people who have never seen the emperor several times in their lives, and even, after the emperor is favored, they are left behind.

In the long days in the deep palace, they wasted their years, wasted their lives, and even trampled on others.

"There are some poor people in this harem, in fact, they are also quite pitiful, as soon as they enter the palace gate, they are as deep as the sea, and the interests of the family and their lives are all tied together." Gu Yunxin sighed.

"That's no way, if the fifth brother becomes the emperor in the future, you have to persuade the fifth brother not to let him take too many concubines." Zhuo Qian's eyes rolled slightly.

"Okay." Gu Yunxin said with a smile.

Where is this that she can control, if it really comes to that day, even if King Rui wants to balance the power of the court, he must include the daughters of the courtiers in the palace.

"Hongxuan, go and see what Concubine Wen has sent." Zhuo Qian said lightly.

"Yes."

Hongxuan turned around and walked out of the room, and saw a woman in light blue clothes standing in the courtyard, her hands were red from the cold, and she was still holding a food box and standing in the cold wind.

"Leave it to me, my master thank you for your mother, I don't know which house my mother is, and my master is also thankful." Hongxuan said lightly.

"My master is Concubine Wen of Liuhua Palace." The woman curtsied.

"Okay." Hongxuan said lightly. Immediately, he entered the house with a food box.

After entering the house, Hongxuan did not directly put the food box on the table, but handed it over to Hongling for inspection. Hongling is good at treating poison, whether this thing is poisonous or not, it can't escape her eyes.

When Hongling opened the food box, there was a musty smell coming out, but those pastries were very exquisite. Immediately, Hongling took out the silver needle from his sleeve and pierced it on each piece of pastry, and saw that there was no change in the silver needle, so he said lightly: "Master, there is no problem with this pastry, do you want to taste it?" ”

"No, I don't have much appetite, and I have to feed my baby, these things are not easy to digest, so I still don't eat them." Gu Yunxin glanced at the food box and said lightly.

Zhuo Qian on the side couldn't help but smash her mouth, "Fifth sister-in-law, if you don't eat it, then give it to me?" I was just watching the fireworks, and I didn't eat enough. ”

"Okay, you can eat it if you like." Gu Yunxin said with a light smile.

Zhuo Qian happily hugged the food box, picked up a piece of dim sum and was about to eat it, but was slapped to the ground by the servant girl next to him.

"The master can't eat it, there's something wrong with this pastry." Ah Nian frowned.

"Having a problem with the pastry? Hongling checked it just now, and there is no problem. Zhuo Qian said reluctantly.

"This pastry was poisoned by someone, and the silver needle can only detect the poison, but it can't be almost Gu." Ah Nian patiently explained.

"Ah Nian, this pastry has Gu? How did this Gu get in? Hongling was surprised.

If she can't identify Gu poison, then the next time someone harms her master like this, what can she do?

"This Gu poison is a kind of thing in Miao Jiang, originally this Gu can also cure diseases and save people, but some people have bad intentions, so they use it to harm people. This pastry doesn't look like anything, as long as you bake it on the fire, there will be bugs. After speaking, Ah Nian picked up a piece of pastry, put it on the candle flame and roasted it gently, and sure enough, just as she said, a few tiny insects came out of the pastry after a while.

Gu Yunxin and Zhuo Qian were instantly frightened, this Concubine Wen actually used such vicious means, isn't it very dangerous for such a person to stay in the palace?

If they go to Concubine Wen now, then Concubine Wen can not admit it at all, after all, she did not come in person, as for the maidservant, she can kill her, or buy someone else to do it.

Thinking of this, Gu Yunxin said lightly: "Zhuo Qian, now we can only calculate it." ”

"Will it be calculated? The fifth sister-in-law means ......"

"I mean, since the other party uses such a covert method, then let's pretend to be a Gu so that she can jump out by herself." Gu Yunxin raised his eyebrows slightly and said.

"Good idea, but how do you pretend to be?" Zhuo Qian said lightly.

"Don't we have Ah Nian? Ah Nian can see that there is Gu poison in the pastry, so he knows what the Gu poison looks like. Gu Yunxin smiled lightly.

Immediately, Gu Yunxin and Zhuo Qian looked at Ah Nian together, Ah Nian sorted out his words, and then said lightly: "There are thousands of kinds of Gu poisons, the slave and maid look at the worms in the pastry, this Gu poison should be this worm egg." There should be unbearable abdominal pain, and the rest of the slaves and maids don't know. ”

"Ah Nian, is it just that the abdominal pain is unbearable?" Gu Yunxin asked.

"Well, the slave only knows that it will be like this, and these are also what the slave's grandfather told the slave." Ah Nian said lightly.

"Hongling, what kind of medicine is harmless to the body and abdominal pain, but the cause can't be found?" Gu Yunxin looked at Hongling Dao.

"Back to the master, there is, but this kind of medicine will cause some damage to the body, and the slave will not give it to the master." Hongling said firmly.

"That's right, fifth sister-in-law, you still have to breastfeed the child, don't eat it, let me eat, anyway, everyone knows that I am greedy, so they say that I ate your pastries." Anyway, Concubine Wen can't escape. Zhuo Qian patted his chest and said.

"Princess Hui, in fact, you don't need to take medicine, it's the same if the slave maid pierces a few acupuncture points for you." Hongling smiled lightly.

"Alright, come on." Zhuo Qian rolled up her sleeves and stretched out her arms towards Hongling Dao.

Sometimes, Gu Yunxin really finds it hard to imagine that she and Zhuo Qian can become good friends, I still remember that in the previous life, Zhuo Qian was married to King Ding as a side concubine, and Zhuo Qian, whom Gu Peiqing often instigated, was looking for trouble for herself. Now, it's the other way around, and things in this world are really impermanent.

"There's no need to be in such a hurry, at least, we'll wait until tomorrow morning." Gu Yunxin said lightly.

That night, King Hui and his wife also stayed in the side hall of King Rui's original dormitory. The next morning, the two went to the court, and after Zhuo Qian woke up, she ran to Gu Yunxin and asked her if she wanted to start pretending to be sick.

Looking at Zhuo Qian's serious look, Gu Yunxin took her hand and said, "Zhuo Qian, then I will work hard for you this time." ”

"Oh, it's okay, I actually have to thank you, if it weren't for you, I might have married the wrong person. They all said that King Hui burned his face, which was terrible, but I thought he was very good, so that no other woman would take her husband with me, and King Hui was also very good to me. Zhuo Qian said with a happy face.

"You think it's good to be happy, wait a little longer, in half an hour, the prince and they should go down to the court, with them, we will have confidence." Gu Yunxin gave Zhuo Qian a look and said.

After King Rui and King Hui went down to the court, they wanted to come to the harem to pick up their wives and go back to the house, but as soon as they returned to the palace, they saw Ah Nian crying and crying and ran over and said: "The prince is not good, the princess has unbearable abdominal pain, and the imperial doctor and Miss Hongling can't find out anything, what can I do." ”

Hearing that Zhuo Qian's abdominal pain was unbearable and he couldn't find out the reason, King Hui was very worried, and rushed into the house in a few steps, "Qianqian, how are you?" What's so uncomfortable, what have you eaten here? ”

Gu Yunxin and Zhuo Qian waited for King Hui's words, otherwise, if they directly talked about the pastry, it would be a bit of a deliberate slander.

"I didn't eat indiscriminately, I ate breakfast with my fifth sister-in-law, and my fifth sister-in-law has nothing to do." Zhuo Qian said with a look of grievance and tears.

"Is there anything else?" King Hui worried.

He, the princess, is just a snack goods, as soon as he heard that there was something delicious, he ran over in a hurry, of course there would be no problem with what he ate in the palace, not to mention, it was still in the original palace of King Rui.

"Others? That was last night's pastry. Zhuo Qian said with an innocent face.

"Pastries? What pastry? ”

"It's said that it was a pastry sent by Concubine Wen in the palace. The pastry is so delicate and delicious, I couldn't help but eat more than half of it as soon as I ate it, and a few pieces are left for you. Zhuo Qian said aggrievedly.

When I heard Zhuo Qian mention Concubine Wen just now, King Hui and King Rui were stunned at the same time, and then the two looked at each other. How is this possible, where is there any Concubine Wen in this palace, that Concubine Wen is simply a person who has been dead for many years.

"Zhuo Qian, you're not wrong, are you sure it's Concubine Wen?" King Hui took a deep breath and said.

"Yes, it's Concubine Wen, if you don't believe it, you can ask the fifth sister-in-law, the maid who delivered the pastries claimed to be the maid of Concubine Wen of Liuhua Palace." Zhuo Qian said with a blank expression.

Hearing this, King Hui thundered in his mind, this is simply impossible, could it be that it is because of that reason?
