The night was dark and the moonlight was lonely.

In the Yixin Courtyard, Yin Suwan looked at the decoction in front of Shuang'er and asked in a low voice, "But the original prescription?" ”

Shuang'er nodded and said in a low voice, "Imperial Doctor Wei said that he should take the medicine according to the original prescription." ”

Yin Suwan covered her handkerchief and coughed lightly a few times, and then asked, "What about the prince?" ”

Shuang'er thought for a while and said, "After you fainted, the prince went to the Fuyuan Courtyard to settle accounts with Concubine Gu, and then stayed in the study. ”

"Still in the study after all this time?" Yin Suwan pursed her slightly white lips, and her eyes darkened.

Shuang'er said, "Well, it hasn't come out yet." It is said that he didn't even eat dinner. ”

Yin Suwan said "um", and said after a while: "Then does he know that I have woken up?" ”

Shuang'er looked at her face for a moment, and said thoughtfully: "Guard Du came to inquire, and he should have told the prince." ”

"Have you disposed of the previous residue?" Yin Suwan saw Shuang'er nodding, then waved her hand and motioned for her to stand down.

"Yes, Princess." Shuang'er blessed his body and withdrew.

After the door closed, Yin Suwan's eyes fell on the black medicine, and she was stunned.

She had wanted to use Gu Jinli's prescription to do her tricks, but she didn't expect to vomit blood when Qi Hao was about to make love to her......

The original plan should have been postponed for another two days, and she had always asked Shuang'er to grab the medicine according to the original prescription, and she didn't take the medicine prescribed by Gu Jinli, why was it poisonous in her body?

The original prescription was prescribed by Wei Liao, and it was impossible for him to harm himself.

So, who is it?

Lady Jade? Mrs. Liu?

It can't be Shuang'er, after all, she has been by her side for many years, and she is the most loyal slave besides Baozhu......

Besides, since Qi Hao already knew that he was awake, why didn't he come to see her?

Or did he go to the Shroud and find something?

If Gu Jinli opened her mouth to defend herself, she had no evidence to prove that Shuang'er poured the medicine, and she couldn't argue, Qi Hao shouldn't believe him, right?

can be thought of the previous two incidents of Mama Gui and Jin Mei, Gu Jinli can also spit lotus flowers in a critical situation and turn the crisis into safety, will it be the same this time?

Feeling irritable, Yin Suwan frowned.

In the dead of night, not only the lights of Pleasant Temple are on, but also the lights of Shō-in Temple are not turned off.

After Gu Jinli bathed, she went to bed.

Although she didn't feel sleepy, she still faced the wall and closed her eyes.

Hexiang was resting in the room, Aiyue knew that Gu Jinli was not asleep, and she was afraid that she would be cranky, so she talked to her casually.

However, she is not a person who is good at finding topics.

"Miss...... It's been a long time since we've been to the teahouse, so let's go and see it tomorrow, right? ”

Seeing that Gu Jinli didn't squeak, Aiyue said again: "Miss, the chef of Bai Yulou has recently developed some new dishes, let's try them tomorrow, right?" ”

Except for Aizuki's self-talk, there was silence in the room.

Aiyue's lonely mouth was deflated, and she knew that Gu Jinli was sad, so she quieted down.

She picked up the robe she had made for Gu Chengen during the day, and when she saw the red on it, her eyes became sour again.

Many people think that their young lady has already had sex with the prince on the night of the cave, and even she herself thinks the same.

After all, after that night, the Shougong sand on the young lady's arm was gone.

Of course, Qi Hao didn't pay attention to her arm, but Gu Jinli did, thinking that it was really because Qi Hao was occupying her body, so the palace sand disappeared......

In fact, no one knew that she was hit by the "eye charm" that night, and although the cold pool water relieved the toxins in her body, it also soaked the sand in the palace......

Looking at this smearing red, Aiyue knew that their young lady was still a virgin before......

Today, the prince is so angry, and it is the first time that he asked for a young lady under such circumstances, how rude should it be?

People say that "a moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold", and what cave room candle night is the most beautiful moment in life.

However, the cave room of their young lady was forced to go in the blue sky and daylight.

Moreover, it seems to be carried out in front of her and Hexiang, the two maids......

Although the two of them fainted and lost consciousness at that time, Miss was awake!

Miss, how can she stand such a clear and jade person?

"The robe made for the eldest prince is also dirty, woo...... How is this good? The more Aiyue thought about it, the more aggrieved she became for Gu Jinli, and she couldn't help choking up.

"Thrown." Suddenly, Gu Jinli's voice opened hoarsely.

"Thrown?" Aiyue was stunned for a moment, and said urgently: "Miss, this is what you have worked so hard to do, it's a pity to throw it away!" ”

"Something stained with blood, unlucky. Tomorrow, go to Yunshuifang to buy one for the eldest prince and send it back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Gu Jinli stood up, her eyes were cold, and although her complexion was not good, she looked at least much better than Aiyue imagined.

Aiyue reluctantly glanced at the robe, the blood had already coagulated, if it was washed, I am afraid it would not be clean, and there would be a mark on it, it seemed that it could only be thrown away......

Sighing, Aiyue folded her robe neatly and said sadly: "The slave knows." ”

After a pause, she tilted her head again and asked, "But, miss, Yunshuifang's clothes cost a lot of silver!" Aren't we going to buy a yard again? Where is there so much money to spare? ”

Gu Jinli lowered her eyes and said softly: "Don't worry, the teahouse has been open for a while, so you don't have to worry about money." ”

"Yes, miss." Aiyue nodded, quietly looked at Gu Jinli, and saw that she no longer spoke, so she retreated.

After Aiyue left, Gu Jinli moved, and the place under her was still aching.

With a chill in her eyes, she clenched her fists hard, shook her lips stiffly, and held back the tears that were about to fall.

If Qi Hao hadn't lied to her in the cave that night, maybe she wouldn't have been upset with him.

If Qi Hao hadn't broken her body in the daytime, maybe she still had a little nostalgia for him after leaving the palace.

However, after today, she and him can only be eternal enemies......

Tomorrow, she will leave the house and go to the teahouse to find Chen Liang to confirm the matter of the courtyard.

She wants to leave the palace, she must leave, leave as soon as possible!

Lifting the quilt, she took a deep breath, slowly moved off the bed, opened the cabinet, took out the jade flute in the brocade box, and sat down along the window.

Not far from the window, Qi Hao stood in the corridor for a long time, and just as he was about to turn away, he heard a mournful sound behind him.

The sound of the flute was sad and mournful, like a woman's low cry in the middle of the night, and as if she was pouring out something......

After a pause, Qi Hao turned his head, looking at the flickering candlelight stretching Gu Jinli's slender figure slender, as if someone had thrown a stone into his heart, he was very uneasy.

After Du Jiang left, he savored his words carefully, only to feel that his mood was getting heavier and heavier.

It is precisely because people are emotional creatures that his feelings for Wanwan for so many years cannot be completely lost because Wanwan used means to frame Gu Jinli.

However, it cannot be said that there is no impact at all.

The reason why he fell in love with Wanwan at the beginning was because he had seen a lot of people in the dark court, and he was deceitful, so he felt extremely precious when he saw Wanwan's rare innocence and kindness.

He wants to protect such a kind woman, protect her pure heart, and don't want her to be polluted by this world.

It's just that...... Now Wanwan has changed a little and has become scheming.

And Gu Jinli, who made him hate him before, has also changed, but it has become more difficult for him to wonder if the femme fatale woman at the beginning is her......

The thought that during the day not only seriously injured the two maids who were most important to her, but also did such a heinous thing to her, his heart hurt more than the lifeless face he saw at that time.

It's remorse, it's self-blame, and it's more distress.

He never thought he would ask for her in such a situation.

Or, at some point, subconsciously, he has seen her as his own woman.

After all, she still has the name of King Ning's side concubine on her head.

If one day, he has an intimate relationship with her, it is a matter of course.

Whatever happens, it's all natural.

And today, everything is too sudden......

He faced her, losing his mind and losing control of his emotions.

In the final analysis, he still didn't dare to face her position in his heart, he couldn't believe that Wanwan had been shaken in his heart, and he couldn't accept that in her heart, anyone was more important than him......

She can drink with Xuan Shizi with a smile, she can make robes for Gu Chengen with her own hands, and she can die for Aiyue and Hexiang many times, but she guards against him and stays away from him.

He is not as good as the two maids, and he is unwilling.

It was only in the moment of possession that he realized his selfishness.

Because, the promise he made to Wanwan was not fulfilled.

Because, he has broken Gu Jinli's wings in pursuit of freedom, and he should no longer be greedy for her body and mind......

Filled with guilt, he came to her yard.

Signaling the passing people to be silent, he stopped and stood in the corridor, watching the light in her room turn on, and he imagined what she was doing and talking about at this time.

He didn't dare to go in, because he didn't know how to face her, so he could only instruct Steward Zhou to pick out some good tonic tomorrow, and send them over with lotus fragrance and Aiyue.

When I was leaving, I didn't expect to hear her flute.

The sound of the flute started, and the sadness was born.

He couldn't see her expression, he couldn't see her expression, but he could feel the sadness and sadness in her heart from the sound of the flute.

Looking at the shadow on the window, Qi Hao's eyes dimmed.

Pursing his lips, he couldn't bear to continue listening, and left the Hibiscus Courtyard with his feet raised.

In the palace of the Nanyang Palace, Lei Zi saw that Chen Zexuan was not angry and laughed after hearing his words, and couldn't help asking: "Shizi, aren't you afraid that the old emperor and Prince Ning will be angry?" ”

Chen Zexuan raised his eyebrows and smiled while playing with the fan: "Why are you angry? ”

"Shizi, you are ...... Even if you really like that person, you must not be so blatant! How can you say that she is still the concubine of King Ning now, and if the rumors are like this, won't your reputation be ruined? ”

Even if Qi Hao ordered Wu Shen not to spread rumors indiscriminately in the palace, but Mama Gui, who had healed her scars and forgotten the pain, did not dare to make a big statement in the palace, but she sent people to secretly spread more and more widely outside the palace......

Qi Hao sent people to suppress the rumors in the first time, but it still gave people the feeling that there was no silver here.

Chen Zexuan sneered and said disapprerovingly: "How much is fame worth?" Will this son care about this? ”

"Besides, if Qi Hao can eat a lot of vinegar because of this, doesn't this also mean that she has a great influence on Qi Hao?"

After hearing this, Lei Zi's eyes widened, and he said tentatively for a while: "Shizi, it turns out that you are not really ...... to her"

Gently stroking the red plums on the fan, Chen Zexuan said faintly: "I really like it, but it's only because this son is interested in her." ”

This means that if he finds out that Gu Jinli is useless, she will become worthless......

Lei Zi opened his mouth, a little incredulous.

He has followed Chen Zexuan for many years, and he has seen too many women who love Shizi, and he can't count them, but it is the first time he has seen Shizi take such initiative with a woman.

On the way, she was deliberately sent back to the palace, and went to Qingshui Temple to find the master of the pure space to ask for the Tianshan Snow Lotus, and deliberately lost to her at the palace banquet, and personally sent "Baiguoxiang" to the door......

According to the nature of the son, he would never do these things for a woman.

Others may only see the usual smile of the son, thinking that his temperament is very optimistic and gentle, only Lei Zi himself knows that the real son of the world is not like this.

There is such a person in this world, who is like the sun in front of him, showing a bright and cheerful side, but the shadow and pain behind the sun are borne silently alone.

No one knows what the heart of the son of the world is like.

Even he didn't dare to say that he knew the world very well.

Just like now, Lei Zi looked at Chen Zexuan's appearance that he didn't seem to be telling a lie, and he dared to believe that the prince was not interested in Gu Jinli, everything was just a use......

It's just that the prince acquiesced in those gossips, in addition to testing Gu Jinli's influence on Qi Hao, is there really no selfishness?

For example, to deepen the misunderstanding between the two of them?

In this way, the son of the world can take advantage of the void to enter?

Seeing Lei Zi looking straight at himself and losing his mind, Chen Zexuan snorted coldly: "What? Is there a flower on the face of this son? ”

Lei Zi came back to his senses and quickly bowed his head, "My subordinates are rude, and I ask the prince to forgive me!" ”

Chen Zexuan thought of something, and asked again: "By the way, you just said that the teahouse was bought by her?" ”

Lei Zi nodded, "The name and decoration style of the teahouse were all from Concubine Gu's idea. Last time, before Concubine Gu was stopped by Yin Penglin on the street, she went to the teahouse to find the shopkeeper because she wanted him to help find a suitable yard again. ”

"The subordinates guessed that Concubine Gu wanted to leave King Ning's Mansion."

"Oh?" Chen Zexuan was a little surprised, glanced at Lei Zi with slanted eyes, and said slowly: "You go and tell Qingyao Pavilion and let them immediately reveal the best courtyard in the property under their name to the shopkeeper of the teahouse." ”

"The price is not low or high, as for the reason for selling the yard, it is said that the owner took his family to Jiangnan to do business, and it is a waste for the house to be vacant."

There is no such thing as pies falling from the sky, so this yard cannot be given to Gu Jinli for free.

If the asking price of the yard is low, it will inevitably make people wonder if the yard is unclean? Or the yard is unknown, the identity of the owner is suspicious, etc.

If the asking price is too high, it will increase Gu Jinli's burden.

Moreover, the assets of Qingyao Pavilion in his hands are all over Yun and Qi, and he is not short of money, so he doesn't need to sell houses to make money......

"Uh, my subordinates know." Lei Zi felt that Chen Zexuan even thought of the reason so flawlessly, and couldn't help but want to open his mouth to ask if he was duplicitous just now, but when he thought that Shizi didn't like people to ask too much, he retreated knowingly.

Early in the morning of the second day, Qi Hao left the palace with his front foot to go to the morning court, and Gu Jinli took Aiyue to the teahouse with his back foot.

There is still some distance from the teahouse, and I saw people coming and going at the door, and there were a lot of carriages parked.

And the teahouse that was originally next to the Baiyu Building is full of people at the moment, and there are few guests.

When I entered the hall, it was full of people, and it was full.

On the platform in the middle, the storyteller is a kind old gentleman, and his gray hair actually looks like a fairy.

I only heard him slap the table with the handle of the fan, and said in a deep voice: "If you want to listen to the follow-up, let's continue tomorrow!" ”

"Oops, why is it gone?"

"By the way, what happened to the real prince later?"

"Tsk, tanuki for the prince, do you need to say this?"

……

The old gentleman listened to the discussions of the tea guests, smiled and arched his hand, and got off the stage.

"Little ...... Childe, you are really like a god, the business of this teahouse is really hot! Aiyue was very excited, pulled Gu Jinli's sleeve, and said excitedly.

The good business of the teahouse means that they will have a lot of money in their accounts.

With silver, they no longer have to rely on others, they can make their own little life!

"Guest officer, please come in!" Because the business has been too good recently, there are too many customers to be busy, so Chen Liang hired a few more guys.

This newcomer hadn't seen Gu Jinli, but he was very enthusiastic.

"Guest officer, the hall is full, and there is a box upstairs that is empty." While leading Gu Jinli inside, the young man asked, "However, the box is in the innermost, and the ventilation may not be very good, I don't know if you mind?" ”

Following the young man upstairs, Gu Jinli shook his head and said, "It's okay." ”

She had just gone up the stairs, and before she turned the corner, she heard Chen Liang's surprised voice coming: "Childe?!" ”

Gu Jinli arched her hand and said with a light smile: "Shopkeeper, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

"yes, I haven't seen Childe for a while!" The shopkeeper waved his hand to the young man, and then bowed down to greet Gu Jinli and walked to the third floor: "Son, please go up!" ”

The third floor is rarely open to people, and when the young man saw the shopkeeper's attitude towards Gu Jinli, he felt that this person must be not small, so he said more attentively: "The little one will serve you tea!" ”

With that, he ran downstairs.

Gu Jinli walked to the third floor and asked, "Last time, I asked the shopkeeper to help me find a yard where I can live, I don't know if there is any news?" ”

"Childe, look at me when I saw you, I forgot about it!" Chen Liang patted his head and hurriedly said: "Just an hour before you came, a guest said that he wanted to take his wife and daughter to Jiangnan to do business, let me help ask someone if there is anything you want to buy a yard, the price is negotiable." ”

"I inquired about the location of the courtyard, not far from the main street of our capital, it sounds good. If Childe is free today, why don't we go and have a look? ”

Gu Jinli listened, her eyes moved slightly, "What about the price?" Is the owner of the house reliable? ”

Chen Liang said: "Don't worry, because that person is in business, he said that the house has only been newly purchased for half a year, and now he is leaving the capital, if it is vacant, it will be too wasteful, if it is rented out, and I am worried that people will not live carefully and make a mess of the house, so it is better to find a reliable buyer and sell the house." ”

Gu Jinli smiled and sat down: "I've only heard of people who cherish jade and love books, but it's the first time I've heard that someone has such feelings for a house." ”

"No, it's the first time I've heard of it." Chen Liang took the tea tray brought by the young man and poured a cup of tea for Gu Jinli himself: "Childe, if you want to go and see the courtyard, then I will take you there." ”

"If you don't want to move, I'll wait for the afternoon to take a look at myself, and I'll tell you when I have definite news."

Gu Jinli thought that after all, her identity was not easy to expose, so it would be safer to let Chen Liang come forward in the middle, so she nodded and said, "Okay, then please go and run for me." ”

"Childe, you're polite, this is what I should do." Chen Liang waved his hand again and again, looking at the first and second floors full of guests, he sighed: "If it weren't for Gongzi, this teahouse would have closed down a long time ago." ”

"Those of us all rely on Gongzi to live, and it is our honor to be able to contribute to Gongzi."

"The shopkeeper's words are serious, I just moved a few words, and you are the ones who really help." Gu Jinli took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "It was you who led the guys to get up early and be greedy for the tea house, and you were the hardest." ”

"Moreover, the guys are diligent and enthusiastic, and you are also the shopkeeper and you are well managed."

After hearing Gu Jinli's words, the shopkeeper was a little embarrassed and said, "It's a matter of the division, the shopkeeper must not say that." ”

The two chatted a few more words, and the shopkeeper went downstairs to let Gu Jinli read the locked ledger.

Each day's accounts are clearly written and organized, so that people can understand at a glance.

In just over ten days, this teahouse has a net income of 1,500 taels of silver, which is simply unbelievable to people's eyes.

This thousand five hundred taels of silver is a drop in the bucket compared to the money of Ning Wangfu, but for Gu Jinli and Aiyue, this figure is already excellent!

Over time, they'll make more and more money!

The house will soon be there, thinking that they will get better and better in the future, the smile on the corner of Gu Jinli's lips is even bigger.

When going down from the third floor, Gu Jinli actually met Yin Zike, who also pushed the door out of the private room on the second floor, and the person who was with him turned out to be Gu Nian, who he hadn't seen for many days, and couldn't help but be stunned.

And Gu Nianshi was overjoyed when he saw Gu Jinli dressed as a man, and couldn't help but forget Gu Jinli's identity, and blurted out: "Jinli, why are you here?" ”

Yin Zike obviously recognized Gu Jinli at first sight, but after hearing Gu Nianshi's words, a touch of surprise crossed his eyes staring at her.
