Since the lord of Yushu arrived in Beijing yesterday, the queen held a banquet in the palace in the name of welcoming the lord of Yushu today.

The ladies of the noble family in Beijing will naturally not let go of such a good opportunity to show up, but Gu Jinli hates such an occasion the most, and she has already participated several times every once in a while, so she took advantage of the excuse that Qi Hao said that she was sick at Gu Huai's birthday banquet yesterday, so she did not participate directly.

Anyway, Qi Hao took Yin Suwan to go, and it doesn't matter if she, the side concubine, goes or not.

The sun in July is no longer as hot as before, and the afternoon sun is also warm, lying on the rattan chair in the courtyard, Gu Jinli rarely closes her eyes and rests comfortably.

The book was upside down on his face, the breeze was blowing, and there was a faint scent of flowers wafting in the air.

It's been a long time since I've felt at ease.

Suddenly, there was an extra layer of warmth on her body, Gu Jinli took away the book on her face and raised her hand to block the sun.

Seeing that it was Hexiang who covered the blanket on her legs, she said gently, "Are you feeling better?" ”

Hexiang smiled and nodded, "Miss, don't worry, Miss Lin's medicine is very effective, I'm fine now." ”

Gu Jinli saw that Hexiang's face was really much better than a few days ago, and she was completely relieved.

Suddenly remembering that she hadn't seen Aiyue in the afternoon, she asked again: "Aiyue, why don't you see her today?" ”

Hexiang poured Gu Jinli a cup of tea and said with a smile: "Today, the princess followed the princess into the palace for a banquet, so Miss Lin didn't have to go to Yixin Courtyard again. ”

"This month of love." Gu Jinli took the teacup and shook her head helplessly: "Although Miss Lin doesn't have any bad intentions, but in the end, there are many people who talk nonsense, in case you let others know, you will cause trouble again." ”

After Gu Jinli took a few sips of tea, Hexiang hesitated: "Miss...... When are we going to see the yard that Shopkeeper Chen said? ”

Gu Jinli naturally knew which courtyard Hexiang was referring to, and her hand holding the teacup tightened, and she said after a while: "It's too late today." Wait for tomorrow. ”

He Xiang caught the struggle that flashed in Gu Jinli's eyes, and whispered, "Miss, will you be reluctant to give up the prince?" ”

Gu Jinli lowered her eyes and laughed at herself: "People are self-aware, what is my identity, and what qualifications do I have to be reluctant to give up?" ”

"Besides, haven't we been thinking about leaving for a long time? As soon as the princess's leg is healed, we will leave. ”

I don't know why, Hexiang suddenly felt a little distressed.

She didn't know what she was distressed about, maybe Gu Jinli's words were too insincere, which made people feel powerless.

Hexiang opened her mouth and took the cup handed over by Gu Jinli. He swallowed back what he was about to explain.

Seeing her looking down at the book, Hexiang had no choice but to leave with the tea tray and no longer bother.

The palace banquet ended in Shenshi's time, and it was not too late, because the old emperor still had important things to say to Qi Hao, so he left him alone in the imperial study, while Yin Suwan was sent back to Ning Wangfu by Du Jiang and others.

In the imperial study, the old emperor looked at Qi Hao deeply for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "What do you think about the sudden arrival of the county lord of Yushu in Beijing?" ”

Qi Hao thought for a while and said in a low voice: "It is said that the county lord of Yushu has a deep relationship with Xuan Shizi, and he likes to stick to Xuan Shizi since he was a child. Maybe...... She came for Xuan Shizi. ”

The old emperor said "um", and then said slowly: "Lord Yushu is the pearl of the king and princess of Nanyang, although he has been weak and sickly since he was a child, but he is good in terms of birth and temperament. ”

Qi Hao didn't know what the old emperor meant when he said this, so he could only echo: "Well, Lord Yushu is indeed good. ”

The old emperor's old eyes flashed with a bright light, and he smiled kindly: "In that case, how about I marry the two of you?" ”

"Huh?" The old emperor's words were so sudden that Qi Hao's head didn't react a little, "Father, don't be joking, Lord Yushu is only thirteen years old this year." In the eyes of Erchen, she is just a little sister, how can she ......"

After hearing this, the old emperor said disapprovingly: "Thirteen years old is not young, and when the queen married me, she was only fourteen years old. ”

"Father ......" Qi Hao immediately understood the old emperor's intentions, his eyes darkened, and he said slowly: "Marrying the lord of Yushu does not mean that you can form a strong alliance with Nanyang. ”

"After all...... A hundred years after Uncle Nanyang, Nanyang is still in the hands of Xuan Shizi. ”

"If Nanyang rebels one day, how can it be controlled by a Yushu county lord?"

"There's some truth to what you're saying." The old emperor was silent for a long time, and sighed heavily, "Okay, let's talk about this matter later." ”

Qi Hao saw that the old emperor was relieved, and his heart, which seemed to be pressing a big stone just now, suddenly became much easier.

"That's right." Suddenly remembering something, the old emperor yawned and said vaguely: "Jiyang has been in trouble recently, I plan to let Gonggong Jia draw up a holy decree instead of me, and send Gu Shilang to Jiyang tomorrow to suppress the bandits." ”

Qi Hao had no objection to the old emperor's arrangement, and said in agreement: "Well, Gu Shilang has outstanding ability, and he will definitely not disappoint his father." ”

Waving his hand, the old emperor looked a little tired, "It's okay, you can step down." ”

"Yes." Qi Hao answered, then closed the door and left.

However, after walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped, and looked back at the imperial study, his eyes crossed with a touch of coldness.

Because, if it weren't for his profound skills, he wouldn't have heard the unusual, subtle sound coming from inside.

That delicate pant is definitely a woman!

"Lord Ning?" Father-in-law Jia, who was guarding the door, saw Qi Hao standing in place and didn't leave, and subconsciously became nervous.

Qi Hao swept away the coldness in his eyes, and said with a smile: "This king remembered that there are still things that have not been told to his father, so let's wait for another day!" ”

With that, he strode away.

Jia Gonggong watched Qi Hao go away, unconsciously stroked the old heart that was about to jump out of his chest, and exhaled heavily.

In the imperial study, a little eunuch walked out of the cabinet on the side after Qi Hao left.

He straddled the old emperor's lap, wrapped his hands around the old emperor's neck, licked his red lips, and said in a bewitching voice: "Your Majesty...... Let the concubine give you a boost? ”

The old emperor's hand reached into the little eunuch's clothes and groped up and down, and as the little eunuch swayed back and forth, the tiredness on his face was swept away.

"Goblin, see how I clean you up!" Pressing the little eunuch on the table, the old emperor rudely ripped his clothes apart.

The little eunuch's hair spread out like a black waterfall, and his hat fell to the ground, revealing a beautiful face.

This woman. It was Concubine Yao who had an affair with the Seventh Prince a few days ago.

As soon as the old emperor entered, Concubine Yao groaned......

On the carriage back to the Ning Palace, Qi Hao was holding a teacup and drinking tea, while his brain was running rapidly.

There was a woman in the old emperor's study? It's incredible!

And looking at Father-in-law Jia's unnatural look, he should also know the inside story.

Gonggong Jia has been with the old emperor for decades, and he is the most loyal, if you ask him, you will definitely not be able to ask anything from his mouth.

However, which woman in the palace dared to be so bold and seduce the Lord in the study?!

went through the favored concubines in the harem one by one in his mind, and Qi Hao denied them one by one.

He couldn't figure out who it was, so he rubbed his brow irritably.

"Lord Wang, there are assassins!" Suddenly, a shout from the guards outside made Qi Hao's body tense up instantly, and he subconsciously pulled out the soft sword on his waist.

"Whoosh, whoosh", a rain of arrows broke through the air.

Qi Hao flew out quickly, and sure enough, he saw a group of men in black surrounding the carriage.

Because Qi Hao wanted to go home earlier, he didn't take the main road, but chose a path that seemed remote, but saved time.

However, I didn't expect to be stopped here.

With a sneer, Qi Hao was shaped like lightning, raised his sword, and fought against the man in black.

At the same time, in the Yixin Courtyard, Yin Suwan changed out of the clothes she wore to participate in the palace banquet, took a sip of tea, and frowned: "Baozhu, how did you make this tea?" ”

"Wang ...... Princess, is there anything wrong? Baozhu's heart jumped, and he hurriedly asked cautiously.

"Bang", put the teacup on the table heavily, Yin Suwan's face was gloomy.

"What's wrong?" Her sharp eyes were like knives, scratching at Baozhu's body little by little, and she said sharply: "The water temperature is not enough, and the tea leaves are not soaked at all!" ”

"You've been with me for so many years, and you can't even do something as trivial as making tea?"

After hearing this, Baozhu immediately lowered his head and explained: "Princess, the water slave really boiled before making tea, how could she hold the water that couldn't be boiled......"

"Shut up!" Throwing the teacup towards the jewel, the anger on Yin Suwan's face became heavier, "Okay, you dead girl, now that I say a word, you dare to talk back?" ”

"The courage is getting fatter and fatter, am I usually too indulgent to you, so that you have forgotten who is the master and who is the slave?"

The hot water splashed all over Baozhu's body, and she didn't have time to dodge, so hot that she "Ah! A scream.

Shuang'er on the side looked at the jewel so painfully that tears fell out, and the corners of his lips were hooked gloatingly.

Baozhu trembled his hands and rolled up his sleeves, only to see that his arm was red and full of blisters.

"Get on your knees!" With a loud shout, Yin Suwan's anger did not disappear.

At his feet was a fragment of a teacup, and if he knelt on it, he would only kneel on the porcelain shard.

Biting her lip, she didn't move.

Seeing this, Yin Suwan burst into flames even more "poof": "Shuang'er! ”

Shuang'er knows, but he doesn't care about the slightest sisterhood. A kick on the calf bone of the orb.

Baozhu was in pain, and knelt down with a "bang".

"Hiss", the porcelain piece pierced into the flesh, and she subconsciously wanted to stand up in pain, but was held down by Shuang'er.

"The princess told you to kneel, but you didn't listen?" Shuang'er Ke seized an opportunity to bully Baozhu, so he wanted to put her to death.

Baozhu also knew that her arms couldn't twist her thighs, she couldn't fight with Yin Suwan, let alone obey Shuang'er's slut's wishes, so she could only show weakness for the time being, and choked up: "Princess, you are the master of the slave, what you say is what you say, how dare the slave dare not listen?" ”

"Humph!" Yin Suwan squinted her eyes at the treasure bead with a handful of snot and tears, and sneered: "Treasure bead, don't think I don't know what you're thinking these days!" ”

"What is the identity of the prince, how can he be coveted by you?"

"You'd better give me the mind to die, don't think about flying on the branches and becoming a phoenix!"

Blood, pouring from the wound, stained Baozhu's turquoise pants red.

Wiping away a handful of tears, Orb nodded.

"Are you mute? Speak! Yin Suwan was dissatisfied, and slapped the table hard.

Shuang'er's hand on Baozhu's shoulder pressed a few points without a trace, and the blood on Baozhu's leg flowed more and more.

A wave of hatred welled up in his heart, and the tears on Baozhu's face flowed more and more.

Gritting her teeth, she said word by word: "Yes, the slave remembers." ”

"Get out of here, don't get in my way!" Yin Suwan's evil breath came out in her heart, and she drove the jewel out.

The orb sniffed and retreated in embarrassment.

Shuang'er lifted her chin and gave Baozhu a smug look as she closed the door.

Baozhu glared at Shuang'er fiercely, and then went to his room in anger.

"Twins." When Shuang'er turned around, Yin Suwan looked at her coldly.

was stared at by Yin Suwan's cold eyes, and Shuang'er's heart suddenly became furious.

Hurriedly stepped forward, she sneered: "Princess, what do you command?" ”

Yin Suwan pondered for a moment, and said quietly: "Baozhu, this girl, is too heavy, I'm afraid I can't keep her by my side anymore." ”

"Princess, what do you mean......" When Shuang'er heard this, his eyes radiated a thousand lights, and then he made a movement to wipe his neck.

Yin Suwan shook her head and said slowly: "I can't kill Baozhu yet, no matter what, she came with me." ”

"If she were to die now, she would have to draw many more pairs of eyes to me."

Although Yin Suwan did not directly say that she killed the treasure bead, she listened to the meaning of this, and it was just a matter of time or time.

With great joy in his heart, Shuang'er nodded again and again: "The princess is wise." ”

Yin Suwan knocked her leg twice, and then slowly stood up on her own while holding on to the table.

Tried to move a step forward. She found what she felt before the accident.

"Wang ...... Princess, you ...... Can you go? Seeing this, Shuang'er's eyes widened in disbelief.

Yin Suwan took a few more steps, and she couldn't suppress a complicated expression on her face, both happy and melancholy, in short, it looked very complicated.

"Princess!" Shuang'er burst into tears with excitement, covered her mouth and choked quietly.

Yin Suwan sat down and looked at her like this, and her heart was very moved.

Sighing, she patted Shuang'er on the shoulder, "Okay." You don't have to ...... that."

Before she could finish speaking, she coughed heavily.

Shuang'er immediately patted Yin Suwan on the back, poured a cup of tea again, and handed it over.

After Yin Suwan came over, Shuang'er whispered tentatively: "Princess...... Who do you say will be the last time you were poisoned? ”

Yin Suwan narrowed her eyes and said coldly: "There are so many people who want to harm me, but I haven't found any clues, how can I be sure?" ”

After hearing this, the uneasy look between her eyebrows gradually faded, and she comforted: "Princess, it's okay, anyway, with Miss Lin here, your poison will definitely be solved." ”

"Lin Sheng?" Yin Suwan shook her head and pouted: "She didn't even prescribe medicine to me, only gave me needles, saying that she was afraid that taking antidote medicine would affect the recovery of my legs." ”

"Now that she is so close to Gu Jinxiu, it's not bad if I don't ask her to take the opportunity to kill me, how dare you ask for this, ask for that?"

Shuang'er nodded, crouched down and began to clean up the mess on the ground.

"Princess, princess!" Suddenly, there was a loud shouting outside.

Yin Suwan didn't have to guess, just listening to the voice, she knew that it was Mama Gui's old thing.

A flash of disgust flashed in her eyes, she pulled down the hem of her skirt and said coldly, "Come in!" ”

"Princess, the prince has been assassinated!" Mama Gui hurriedly saluted, and then gasped and said.

"What?" Yin Suwan listened, and the reflex "poof" suddenly stood up from the chair.

"Wang ...... Princess, you ...... Can you stand up?? Mama Gui was so surprised that she could stuff an egg into her mouth, and her hand pointing to Yin Suwan's leg trembled uncontrollably.

Yoon So-wan realized her gaffe and sat down slowly.

Clearing her throat, she pretended to change the topic calmly: "Mama Gui, what is going on?" What happened? ”

Mama Gui rolled her eyes, and immediately understood that Yin Suwan had been able to walk a long time ago, but she had been deliberately delaying time!

"Princess, that's right." As an old man in the palace, how could Mama Gui dismantle Yin Suwan's platform, so she pretended not to see anything just now, and continued: "On the way back to the palace, the prince met a group of assassins. ”

"However, princess, please rest assured, Du Jiang went back in time, and the prince was only slightly injured."

Yin Suwan asked again, "Where is the injury?" ”

Mama Gui said: "The injury is on the arm, Du Jiang said that it was a skin injury, and it is not a big deal." ”

"Oh." Yin Suwan nodded, and when she saw that Mama Gui had nothing to say and didn't leave, she asked, "Mama Gui has anything else?" ”

"Princess......" Mama Gui piled up an old face like a blooming chrysanthemum, and stepped forward and said: "Just now the old slave looked at the jewel and went back to the room, didn't she do something to make the princess unhappy?" ”

"It's okay, she broke the teacup, and the princess reprimanded her a little, and she cried and wiped her tears." Although Yin Suwan was dissatisfied with the jewels, after all, they had been masters and servants for many years, and if there was anything they had to do privately, they would naturally have to settle it privately.

And although Mama Gui is also devoted to her, in the end she still just wants to find a backer to rely on, if she is squeezed down from the throne of the princess in the future, then presumably Mama Gui will also find a new master, right?

Therefore, Yin Suwan was reluctant to let Mama Gui come in in this matter.

Mama Gui knows that Yin Suwan is the most important on weekdays, Shuang'er and Baozhu, and if she wants to gain a firm foothold by Yin Suwan's side, she can only get these two maids down, so that she can take advantage of the loophole and become Yin Suwan's henchman.

Just now, she was going to go to the backyard to teach those lazy maids a lesson, but when she saw that Baozhu not only had red eyes, but even her legs were red with blood, so she stopped her and asked a few questions.

Baozhu's answer was the same as Yin Suwan's, and he only said that he had done something wrong and made Yin Suwan angry, but he didn't elaborate on what it was.

It just so happened that Steward Zhou sent the news to Yixin Hospital, so she took the opportunity to tell Qi Hao that she was injured.

However...... Still haven't found any useful information.

"Oh, it's okay, then the old slave will go down first." Mama Gui's old face was a little disappointed, and she withdrew.

Shuang'er saw that Yin Suwan was staring at the teacup and didn't know what she was thinking, so she asked, "Princess, do you want to go to the study to visit the prince?" ”

Yin Suwan hesitated for a moment. Unexpectedly, he shook his head: "Since it's a minor injury, then I won't go." ”

Seeing that Shuang'er was puzzled, Yin Suwan said slowly: "At the palace banquet today, you also saw the prince's attitude towards me. ”

"Although he is polite, he is very rusty. I have no place in his heart now, and if I go to see him now, maybe he will think that I am courteous. ”

Turning her head to stop looking at Shuang'er, she leaned on the table and walked towards the bed little by little.

In the study, Qin Feng wrapped gauze around Qi Hao's wound and said with a palpitating look: "Lord Wang, when my subordinates heard that you were injured, they immediately ran back from the Dongshan military camp. ”

"Oops. Don't you know, when I received the news from Du Jiang, I was almost scared to death! ”

Qi Hao looked at Qin Feng's wide-eyed eyes, trembling his lips with a very exaggerated appearance, and frowned: "The danger that this king faces on the battlefield is more serious than these assassinations, what is this small injury?" ”

"Lord Wang, you can't say that, you ......" Before Qin Feng's sensational words were finished, he saw Du Jiang coming back from outside.

"Lord Wang, I found it." Du Jiang wiped the fine sweat on his head and said in a low voice: "The person who wants to assassinate you this time is Gu Shilang." ”

"Oh? Is it really him? Qi Hao listened, and a strong cold wind burst out from his body.

Du Jiang nodded and said slowly: "Those assassins are dead soldiers, the one who was finally caught, otherwise I would have spit out the poison in his mouth in advance, and I am afraid he would have committed suicide." ”

"It seems that it is wise for my father to transfer Gu Chengen to Jiyang." Qi Hao hooked his lips and sneered: "He is too obsessed, going there to suppress bandits is also convenient for him to vent his grievances!" ”

If you suppress the bandits, there will be a great number of deaths.

According to a paranoid person like Gu Chengen, he is definitely going to start killing people......

"Lord Wang. Gu Shilang is the kind of person who doesn't shed tears when he doesn't see the coffin, he doesn't die of a thief to Concubine Gu, otherwise let's take the opportunity to ...... Gu Shilang on the way to Jiyang" At this time, Qin Feng rolled his eyes and said with a smile.

"Just you?" Qi Hao glanced at Qin Feng coldly, his expression disdainful.

Qin Feng scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "Huh...... It's definitely not enough to rely on just one subordinate, isn't there still those brothers in the secret camp? ”

"Those people sent by Gu Chengen today are all masters among masters, if they are ruthless, even this king may not be their opponent!" Qi Hao brushed away Qin Feng's hand to tie the gauze for himself, and his tone was so cold that Qin Feng trembled: "This king doesn't want so many brothers to follow you to death!" ”

Qin Feng shrunk his neck, not daring to speak more.

"Alright, you can step down too." Qi Hao pursed his lips and waved his hand to signal the two guards to go out.

Qin Feng and Du Jiang glanced at each other, then closed the door and left.

In the Fuyuan Courtyard, Aiyue happily held the book given by Lin Sheng and came back in a hurry.

Gu Jinli looked at the new supernatural book published by Cha Cha Rabbit, and rubbed her eyebrows speechlessly: "Aiyue, you really took my words as a deaf ear!" ”

"When will you take my words to heart?"

Aiyue stuck out her tongue and said with a red face, "Miss...... I restrained myself for a long time, and just when I was about to succeed in thinking that I could forget about Cha Cha Rabbit, I suddenly learned that she was going to give me a new book, how can I not be excited? ”

"That's it, that's it, I don't care about you anymore." Although Gu Jinli is not interested in Chacha Rabbit, she also knows that everyone has their own cherished and favorite things, you can not understand or disagree, but at least learn to tolerate and respect.

After hearing this, Aiyue saw that Gu Jinli didn't seem to be angry and said it, so she stepped forward and hugged Gu Jinli. Huan Xi said: "Thank you, Miss! ”

"Miss, the prince has been assassinated." Hexiang came in from outside with her clothes in her arms and said respectfully.

Gu Jinli was stunned, and her tone unconsciously became urgent: "How are others?" ”

Hexiang said: "The prince was injured in the arm. ”

"That's good." Gu Jinli took a deep breath and said softly: "Go and tell the kitchen, stew some tonic for the prince, and you or Aiyue will send it to the study later." ”

"Miss, the princess hasn't moved yet, how can she send it...... Isn't there something wrong? Hexiang pondered for a moment and asked.

Gu Jinli was silent, and only said after a while: "Whether she sends it or not is her business, and it has nothing to do with us." ”

"Yes, miss." Hexiang answered, left the room, and went to the kitchen.

"Tsk, miss, I really can't see it, you still feel very sorry for the prince." Aiyue tugged Gu Jinli's arm and said with a smile: "Miss, are you not going to leave King Ning's Mansion?" ”

"I ......" Gu Jinli moved her lips and smiled reluctantly: "The tea house has come down, and the yard has long been buried, how can you stay any longer?" ”

"That's right, if you don't live in that house, it's a waste of money!" After thinking about it seriously, Aiyue nodded and said, "Then let's really leave quickly, otherwise there will be many long nights!" ”

With a smile, Gu Jinli clicked on Aiyue's head and said jokingly: "It should be a long night and a lot of dreams!" Why don't you still read books all day? What are you looking at? ”

"Hmm...... I'm reading all the books of tea and tea rabbits. Aiyue touched her nose in embarrassment, and said with little confidence: "There are no such unfamiliar words in it!" ”

Gu Jinli couldn't continue to talk to Aiyue anymore, so she had to say, "That's it, I'll go out of the mansion tomorrow to see the courtyard, and you and Hexiang will stay in the mansion." ”

Aiyue had just gotten the book, and she hadn't read a few pages yet, so when she heard that she could stay in the house, she thought that she could read in the house tomorrow, so she readily agreed.

After a while, the tonic stewed in the kitchen was boiled, and Gu Jinli thought that Hexiang was calm, so she didn't let Aiyue send it.

When Hexiang appeared in front of Qi Hao with a soup cup, Qi Hao's eyes couldn't hide the surprise.

He didn't think that Gu Jinli would send someone to send tonic soup.

This feeling is actually a little touching......

It was rare to show a smile to Hexiang after the iceberg melted, and Qi Hao drank the soup in a good mood.
