() Gu Chen is the commander of the guards in Ouchi, although he doesn't have to get up early like the previous court, he also needs to change guards with other guards in shifts, but when others are on duty at night, he has to take care of the day.

When Gu Chen entered the palace, the emperor had already made an early dynasty.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to report." Gu Chen entered the imperial study and bowed to the emperor.

The emperor sat in front of the desk and stared at him: "Aiqing has something to report, get up and talk about it." ”

Gu Chen stood up and asked politely: "I heard that the Queen Mother is sick?" I wonder if it's better? ”

As soon as the emperor heard about the Queen Mother's illness, his majestic face suddenly relaxed, and he sighed and said: "It's good, it's good, but this disease is a little strange, and none of the quacks in the Tai Hospital can find out." ”

When Gu Chen heard this, it was indeed so.

So, he said: "Since it's okay, it may be that the Queen Mother has been staying in the palace recently, and she is stuffy, and after a few days it will be completely warm, and it will be good to go to another palace for a vacation." ”

When the emperor heard this, he was immediately relieved, nodded and said, "I hope so." After that, he asked, "What did you just want to report?" ”

Gu Chen glanced at the emperor deeply and said: "Yesterday, the minister received a letter, saying that the minister was in the hands of the other party, and asked the minister to go to the valley outside the city alone to save people, but after the minister arrived there, he did not see the cheap, but saw a large number of private soldiers, and originally wanted to come back to report to His Majesty, but the Queen Mother happened to be sick again, so she didn't see Your Majesty, and the minister didn't dare to be careless, so he let people stare at that place, but today, the soldiers in that place have been reduced by nearly thirty percent, and the minister didn't dare to be specialized, so he came to report to His Majesty. ”

When the emperor heard this, he was stunned at first, and then laughed: "You said this, the prince told me, it was his personal soldier who trained for me, and it will be used as a special force to protect the palace city in the future, Aiqing is too worried." When he had finished speaking, he asked, "You mean you were tricked out of the city?" ”

"Yes, the letter is still here, please look at it, Your Majesty." As he spoke, he handed the letter to the emperor's case, and then respectfully retreated, "When the minister came back, he met the fourth princess, and she said that she had actually stayed with Concubine Hua and had never been anywhere else. ”

Speaking of this, Gu Chen didn't say more, and left the rest to the emperor to think about for himself.

Those who can take the throne are not stupid people, so in Gu Chen's words, he understood a little, someone deliberately lured him out, and then let him find those private soldiers, if it wasn't for the Queen Mother's illness, he would definitely report to him immediately yesterday, and sent troops to collect it, the terrain in that place is not clear, what can they really see?

What Gu Chen saw was just what others wanted him to see.

But if the emperor knew about it and sent someone, it would be a different situation.

"Your Majesty, in addition to seeing a large number of private soldiers, the minister also saw a lot of iron ore, which seems to be used to make weapons, if Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can send a secret envoy to check it quietly." Gu Chen didn't want to take the initiative to take this job, lest he be charged with framing the prince in the future, and it would also make everyone think that he was selfish in dealing with the prince.

After all, he and the prince are fighting for the same woman, and now no one in the capital knows it, but they don't dare to say it clearly.

"Mrs. Ling has been with Concubine Hua?" The Emperor asked again.

Gu Chen nodded yes, and the emperor pondered.

Although he liked that Miao Jiang saintess very much

, that woman is also full of methods in order to make him happy on weekdays, and she has long heard that the people of Miao Jiang are good at using drugs, and this saint is especially good at it.

Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they quickly sprout.

The emperor quickly remembered the illness of the queen mother, and all the imperial doctors could not find out the cause of the disease, and then he recovered automatically.

Come to think of it, it's not without reason.

"Yes, because the fourth princess also looked for Cheap Nei yesterday and wanted to play two games with her, but I sent someone to ask several times and got the news, and the person is still in Biluo Palace." Gu Chen said with an impassive expression.

The emperor pondered for a while before he said, "I know, you should go and get busy first." ”

"Yes." Gu Chen retreated.

The crown prince wanted to provoke him to sue the emperor for his black state, and then rebelled against him, but he sued, but at the same time, he also mentioned to the emperor that he was deceived out of the city and the queen mother was strangely ill.

Once a person is suspicious, he will no longer believe in the future.

The crown prince has been favored by the emperor for a long time, he doesn't expect to be able to bring him down in one go, and it is impossible to find evidence to accuse him in such a short time, but he can slowly plant a seed of doubt in the emperor's heart.

This way.

Qin Niang got up in the morning and repaired the drawing, and finally finished, she stretched her waist and called Qiu Tao to come in to change her clothes and comb her hair, she also specially puffed on some powder, and covered up the bad complexion caused by not sleeping well all night, and finally printed some red on her lips.

"Miss, where are you going to go when you are dressed so exquisitely?" Qiu Tao asked while combing her hair.

"I heard that the fourth princess did us a great favor yesterday, and I always have to thank them." After speaking, she took pictures of herself in the bronze mirror, and then stood up, "Bring a few medicine sachets made by Mama Jin, and take two jars of peach nectar I made before." ”

Anyway, she doesn't have any gifts to give in this palace, only some homemade things can be taken out and given to others, to show her heart.

The master and servant took their things and quickly walked out of the Lanxi Palace, walking towards the Splendid Palace of the Four Princesses.

Song Ru seemed to have expected her to come, so as soon as she arrived at the gate of the palace to sign up, the palace people directly let her in, and Qin Niang raised her eyebrows in surprise.

These four princesses are really smart people, and the squeamish and brutal and willful appearance they saw before is really pretending.

The palace people led Qin Niang into the side hall, the fourth princess was sitting there with a game of chess, tea and snacks had been served, as soon as she saw Qin Niang, she said with a smile: "Miss Yang made the palace easy to find, I didn't find anyone after looking for a day yesterday, and today you can be regarded as coming." ”

After Qin Niang saluted Song Ru in a proper manner, she ordered someone to present the things she brought, and said: "This is some small toys that the courtiers do in the palace when they have nothing to do, the medicine bag can prevent mosquitoes and insects, can help sleep, I asked people to take a few more, if the fourth princess thinks it is easy to use, you can also take some to give away, and the other two cans of peach nectar are freshly brewed, and it may take some time to eat, I hope the fourth princess will not dislike it." ”

Qin Niang saw that there were other palace maids around, and she also knew that Song Ru was giving her a round for yesterday's events, so she didn't want to ask carefully, so she politely presented the things first.

Song Ru accepted it generously, and then took the person

was sent out, and left a personal confidant palace maid, the one who stopped Gu Chen at the palace gate yesterday to report the news, called Ping'er.

Qin Niang asked Qiu Xue to guard outside, leaving Qiu Tao and Jin Mama aside.

All of a sudden, there were only her own people left in the hall, and Qin Niang didn't say anything in front of them, and after being ordered to sit down opposite Song Ru, she said: "Yesterday's matter, there is the fourth princess Lao." ”

She knew that Gu Chen would tell the emperor that it was because the fourth princess wanted to play chess with her that she learned that she had been in Biluo Palace, and when she entered the door just now, Song Ru also deliberately jokingly said that she was easy to find, but also to hide people's eyes.

"Sister Qin is polite, I said, I want to make friends with you, there is no need to say these words, I also know that you came to me today not necessarily just to thank me, there must be something else, right?" Song Ru said, gave her the sunspot, and motioned for her to continue.

Qin Niang lowered her eyes and glanced at the chess game, and the sunspot was about to lose.

"The fourth princess is a smart person, I came today to ask the fourth princess to help take it out of the palace and hand it over to Lin Yao, this thing is very important and cannot fall into the hands of outsiders." Qin Niang said, then took out a plain purse, the drawings were packed inside, she solemnly handed it to Song Ru, and repeatedly advised, "If this falls into the hands of others, it is likely to bring disadvantages to Donglin, the fourth princess must be careful." ”

When Song Ru heard that the things in it were so important, her face suddenly became solemn, she pinched the purse, and nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, the palace will go out of the palace in person later." ”

But she is a princess, so it is not easy for her to go to the Lin Mansion, but she can send someone to invite Lin Yao to sit in the teahouse on the street, in short, it is still easy for her to go out of the palace to send a letter.

"Then there's Princess Law." Qin Niang saw that she didn't even look at it, so she put the purse away and asked, "Isn't the princess curious about what's inside?" What if I write some palace secrets in it? ”

Song Ru laughed: "Sister Qin, you are really interesting, I like you like this, but you usually stay in the Xi Palace, what secrets can you find out in the palace?" Besides, I don't believe you're such a person. ”

For Song Ru's trust, Qin Niang's heart warmed up for no reason, and she didn't say much if she was polite, anyway, as Gu Chen said, their current relationship is on the same boat, and it is useless to say that those virtual things are useless.

"Princess, be careful, I'm coming." Qin Niang picked up a sunspot, found a place and fell.

There was a "snap" sound, which pulled Song Ru's consciousness back, her eyes widened slightly, and she exclaimed: "Ah, why didn't I expect to go like this just now, it seems that Sister Qin is really a master of chess, no wonder those children of the family who often go to Baoling Pavilion want to meet Sister Qin." ”

Qin Niang smiled gracefully, but she was not modest: "The fourth princess should be careful, as soon as I enter the chess game, it will be like entering the battlefield, and I will not turn back if I don't kill a bloody person." ”

Song Ru's heart sank, and she suddenly didn't dare to joke, and studied the chess game with a solemn face.

Although she has the upper hand in the battle now, the one that Qin Niang fell just now almost immediately changed the situation of the battle, if she is careless, maybe the good situation will make her lost.

Just like the current crown prince, he has obviously taken advantage of all the time, place and people, if he is not careful, he will be defeated one day.
