On the second day, when Hexiang pushed the door in with a basin, Gu Jinli had already woken up and was looking straight at the gauze tent with her eyes open.

Seeing that her eyes were slightly blue, Hexiang was worried: "Miss, didn't you sleep well last night?" Is it a wound on the body......"

Gu Jinli shook her head, sighed softly, and sat up with her body propped up, "It's okay." ”

There was a lot of pressure on things in her heart, and it was a mess, so she had been in a state of seeming to be asleep all night.

As soon as I felt a little sleepy, it was dawn.

"Miss, do you have something on your mind?" While waiting for Gu Jinli to wash and change clothes, Hexiang quietly looked at her expression.

Gu Jinli looked at her sickly white face in the mirror, and said softly: "Hexiang, I want to leave the house." ”

Ning Wangfu has never been a place for her and these girls to settle down.

Regardless of whether Qi Hao's hatred for Gu Jinxiu has diminished now, she must hurry up and prepare now.

After using the previous 150,000 taels to buy the teahouse, the money in his hand can buy another courtyard.

As for the bracelet of the eldest lady yesterday, she had thought about selling it for money, but just now, she thought that this bracelet had other uses......

Hexiang was stunned and puzzled: "Miss, do you have anything to do when you leave the house?" The slave can do it for you. ”

Gu Jinli pondered for a moment and asked in a deep voice, "What about the prince?" ”

Hexiang said: "Just now I heard the girl in the courtyard say that the prince went to the court. ”

Noticing the silver bracelet on Gu Jinli's wrist, she asked curiously, "Miss, when did the bracelet on your wrist change?" ”

Her eyes flashed, and Gu Jinli didn't answer.

I took medicine and applied ointment, and the place where I was injured by the poison dart was no longer so painful.

And Qi Hao had many wounds on his body, so he didn't rest in the house for a few more days......

It seems that today is a good opportunity.

Hooking the corners of her lips, she said lightly: "Hexiang, you will go to the princess's courtyard to ask for instructions in a while, and say that I want to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”

Hexiang was even more puzzled: "Ugh." Back to the Prime Minister's Mansion? ”

Gu Jinli took the comb from Hexiang's hand, combed her hair, and said slowly: "There was such a big incident last night, I should go back to the house as soon as possible to report the safety of my father and mother, so as not to worry about my safety." ”

Hexiang thought about it for a while, and then understood the meaning of Gu Jinli's words, "Yes, the slave understands." ”

The young lady must have something important to do when she leaves the mansion, and the princess seems to be better talking than the prince, and then she uses the return to the prime minister's mansion as a pretext, the princess should not stop the young lady in her affection......

Glancing at Hexiang appreciatively, Gu Jinli said again: "Take the 150,000 taels of silver in the cabinet." ”

He Xiang inserted the hairpin into Gu Jinli's hair. Respectfully, "Yes." ”

Sure enough, as Hexiang thought, when she went to Yixin Courtyard to ask for instructions, Yin Suwan happily agreed.

The master and servant went out of the house smoothly, and on the carriage, Hexiang opened the curtain, and saw that it was going in the direction of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and whispered: "Miss, let's really go back?" ”

Gu Jinli said "um", turned a few pages of the medical book, and said with a smile: "Although Yin Suwan did not embarrass us, it does not guarantee that Qi Hao's people are not following behind. I have to do all the plays, or I want to come out again in the future. But it's not that easy. ”

Since the first day they entered King Ning's mansion, Qi Hao arranged for someone to pay close attention to her every move, after all, she was a member of the Gu family, and the Gu family chose King Xuan.

If you take a hostile position, you are the enemy.

Even if Qi Hao doesn't kill her for the time being, it doesn't mean that she is a free person.

Her words and deeds are still being watched by many people in secret.

Hexiang nodded and lowered the curtain.

"Da da da", soon, the carriage stopped at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Because Gu Jinli decided to come back this morning, the subordinates guarding the door suddenly saw her get off the carriage of King Ning's mansion, and couldn't help but go to the courtyard of the eldest lady in a panic to make a statement.

Gu Huai and Gu Chengen went to the court, and in addition to the eldest lady and two aunts, several other sisters and sisters were also in the house.

The eldest lady was in a hurry because of Gu Chengen's incident last night, and at this time, a handkerchief soaked in cold water was applied to her head, and she looked sick.

Mama Liu held the medicine bowl and persuaded bitterly: "Madam, just drink the medicine, your body is important!" ”

The eldest lady waved her hand and said in a sullen voice: "I have raised my son for nearly twenty years, and my status in his heart is not as good as that little slut!" What else do I drink, I'm going to die! ”

"Madam, the eldest prince may ...... Maybe he misunderstood you for a while, just wait for him to figure it out. Mama Liu sent the medicine bowl forward. continued: "You have paid so much for the eldest prince and eldest lady over the years, and for our prime minister's mansion, the lord and the eldest prince both understand it in their hearts!" If you fall, won't it be cheaper for those people in the side courtyard! ”

Where did Gu Chengen misunderstand the eldest lady, obviously he saw her true face, so the eldest doctor couldn't accept that his usual dignified and gentle image in front of his children was damaged, this is angry!

"Madame, ma'am!"

At this time, a little maid hurriedly ran in, out of breath and said, "Second ...... The eldest lady is back! ”

Mama Liu glared at the maid, "What are you screaming in the early morning, didn't you see that Mrs. was resting?" ”

The little girl shrunk her neck and pointed to the door: "But, the eldest lady, she has already arrived at the gate." ”

"Miss?" As if something was wrong, Mama Liu put the bowl down, gently pushed the eldest lady's arm, and said urgently: "Madam, madam!" ”

"Yes...... It's Gu Jinli! Concubine Gu, she's back! ”

"What?!" The eldest lady stiffened a carp and turned over, and the speed was so fast that Mama Liu and the little maid were stunned.

The eldest lady's old face, which had not yet been coated with grease powder, was folded, and her eyes were burning with anger: "Mama Liu, serve me to change clothes!" Shaking the handkerchief on her forehead, she snorted coldly to the little maid: "Xiaocui, you go to the front hall to greet first!" ”

As soon as Xiao Cui turned around, she heard the eldest lady add, "By the way, invite a few young ladies over!" ”

"Yes, ma'am." In response, Xiao Cui retreated.

"When there are many people, it is lively!" With a sneer, the eldest lady said faintly: "Falsely deceived my bracelet and bewitched my son, Gu Jinli, since you sent it to the door today, then don't blame me for being unkind!" ”

Secretly glancing at the eldest lady, Mama Liu was frightened by the grim smile on her face.

I have to say that the maids around the eldest lady are all numb people.

When Gu Jinli arrived at the door of the hall, the eldest lady ordered Xiao Cui to invite everyone was already seated.

The eldest lady was dressed neatly, and because of Gu Jinli's arrival, both her complexion and spirit were as exciting as if she had been beaten with chicken blood.

Gu Jinxiu was dressed in a peach-colored long dress, with red lips and pink face, and the beads on her head were slightly crooked, obviously she had just gotten up from bed not long ago.

Next to her, sat two young girls.

The fourth lady, Gu Jinyao, was wearing an orange long skirt and had good facial features. It's just that the cheekbones are slightly high, giving people a tricky and mean feeling, and the skin is slightly dark, and she likes to put on a thick layer of fat powder, and her face looks contrived and stiff.

The third lady Gu Jinyu's appearance is not outstanding compared to Gu Jinxiu, but it is also beautiful.

On the seat next to Gu Jinyu, there was a woman in her forties, who was the third aunt Hu Shi.

After sweeping around, Gu Jinli knew it in her heart.

With so many people, dare to be in love with three sessions?

"Mother." Slowing her pace, she smiled and nodded to the eldest lady. Then his gaze stayed on the other people, and he said, "The three sisters and the third aunt are also there?" ”

After the Queen Mother's birthday banquet that night, Gu Jinli's "Phoenix Dance Nine Days" had already spread throughout the capital, and now everyone knows how amazing and gorgeous she is.

Of course, the premise is to forget about Gu Jinxiu's mistake and injury to Yin Suwan for the time being.

She is now a person from Ning Wangfu, although she is a side concubine, but in front of these concubines and sisters and sisters, she has a much higher status.

Therefore, the third aunt smiled, gave Gu Jinyao and Gu Jinyu a look, and blessed her body: "I have seen Concubine Gu." ”

Gu Jinyao pursed her lips. was very reluctant, but he was still pulled by the third aunt and saluted.

Gu Jinxiu sat still and snorted coldly, her face was not very good-looking.

Gu Jinli helped her for a moment, and then sat down, "It's all my own family, the third aunt and the two sisters are polite." ”

Outsiders don't know about the identity exchange of Gu Jinxiu and Gu Jinli, that's because Gu Jinxiu has never shown her true face outside.

And the people of the Prime Minister's Mansion, except for a few aunts and young ladies here, those who know the truth were sent out of the Prime Minister's Mansion behind their backs by the eldest lady for various reasons.

Life or death, then only the eldest lady knows in her heart.

On the day Gu Jinli agreed to marry Qi Hao, the veil that bound Gu Jinxiu could be completely removed, and she was free. But she also lost the identity of the prime minister's daughter, how can she feel comfortable?

The eldest lady and Gu Jinxiu can not be polite, but the third aunt and her concubine don't dare, but they are afraid that the eldest lady will be angry, so they are a little worried.

Subconsciously and secretly glanced at the eldest lady, the third aunt decided that it would be better to talk less later.

Gu Jinli's buttocks just touched the chair, only to feel as if there were dense needles on the cushion, piercing her clothes and piercing into her skin.

Frowning slightly, she moved without a trace, trying to sit on the edge of the chair.

Seeing that Gu Jinli's face was not different, and she endured her anger, the eldest lady gritted her teeth and smiled: "Why didn't you send someone to notify you in advance when you came back?" ”

Gu Jinli said lightly: "A few days ago, I wanted to come back to visit my father and mother, as well as my sisters, but I was not free because I had to prepare for the Queen Mother's birthday banquet. It's okay today, so I'm back. ”

Gu Jinyao's eyes rolled, covered her mouth and smiled: "In addition to Princess Yin in the palace, it is said that there are two other ladies, should the eldest sister be kicked back after being used by King Ning?" ”

This "big sister", she deliberately aggravated her tone, sounding so unfortunate and schadenfreude.

Gu Jinyu tugged at Gu Jinyao's sleeve and whispered, "Fourth sister." ”

Knowing that Gu Jinyu is cowardly. On weekdays, she is as timid as a mouse, and she is most afraid of getting into trouble, Gu Jinyu slapped her hand away and said disdainfully: "What I said is the truth, third sister, what are you worried about?" ”

The eldest lady's face sank with feigned anger, "Jin Yao, don't talk nonsense. ”

The third aunt was worried that Gu Jinli was to blame, so she immediately licked her face and made amends: "Jinyao likes to joke, Concubine Gu, don't be surprised." ”

She took a bite of Concubine Gu, and in Gu Jinyao's ears, it was plain to lower their mother-daughter status.

poked the third aunt's waist, she rolled her eyes: "Mother, I didn't say anything wrong." Why are you apologizing? ”

Blowing the tea that the maid had just served, Gu Jinli called, "Lotus fragrance." ”

He Xiang presented the gifts one by one and said respectfully: "Mrs., the concubine of our family specially selected the emerald green bracelet for you in the Qimeng Pavilion. ”

"Third aunt, this is your three-color bracelet."

"Second Miss, this is your Smoke Cloud Shadow Hairpin."

"Third Miss, this is your glazed star hairpin."

"Fourth Miss, this is your white feather lotus hairpin."

After a pause, Hexiang touched a gift box again: "This is a Hanyu exquisite bracelet for the third aunt, and I ask the eldest lady to accept it on my behalf." ”

After giving the gift, Hexiang stood behind Jinli again.

Qimengkaku is one of the best jewelry shops in Beijing. Not only is it fashionable, but it is also exquisitely made, and most importantly, everything inside is not cheap.

Let's just say that an ordinary peach wood hairpin costs at least fifty taels of silver.

And the two bracelets and three hairpins given by Gu Jinli, looking at the texture and style, should be the best quality, how much silver does it cost!

Stretching out her hand not to hit the smiling person, the third aunt swallowed her saliva, her hand holding the box trembled a little, and her face couldn't hide her joy: "Thank you Concubine Gu!" ”

"Thank you, Concubine Gu." Gu Jinyu was flattered, and also whispered thanks.

Gu Jinli is not close to these sisters and sisters. The only thing that may have an intersection is Gu Jinyu's mother, the fourth aunt, and the second son, Gu Nianshi.

After all, when she returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion at the beginning of the year, because of Gu Jinyao's pranks, she was pushed into the cold pond in the winter, and her legs were scratched by sharp stones.

It's just that even if she was rescued, her body finally fell ill......

Sensing the caution in Gu Jinyu's tone, Gu Jinli said gently: "Is the fourth aunt's typhoid fever good?" ”

She remembered that before she got married, the fourth aunt seemed to have contracted typhoid fever again. It's really sick and sick.

Gu Jinyu smiled reluctantly, still restrained, "My mother, she...... It's still the same. ”

Gu Jinli nodded, didn't speak again, and thought about leaving after a few more greetings.

Gu Jinyao glanced at the hairpin a few times, and said in a sour tone: "Tut, the eldest sister is really generous, it seems that the little life is really good!" ”

It stands to reason that Gu Jinli married Qi Hao with a guilty body, and last time she came back covered in blood, how could she have so many gold, silver and jade ornaments this time?

It seems that this little slut took down Qi Hao so quickly!

Knowing this, he should really take the initiative to marry Gu Jinxiu!

In terms of appearance, she thinks that she is no worse than Gu Jinli, as long as she survives the two days when Qi Hao was angry, and now she is eating and drinking spicy food in Ning Wangfu, and the person who raises her eyebrows in front of these sisters and sisters is her Gu Jinyao!

Thinking like this, Gu Jinyao began to be unwilling.

Gu Jinli took a sip of tea, she wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and said meaningfully: "The fourth sister said that she laughed, being able to marry King Ning is all thanks to her mother and second sister." ”

"You're welcome." Gu Jinxiu raised her eyebrows, looked at the third aunt and the others with disdain, and she secretly scolded in her heart.

Disdainfully opened the box, and her face turned white with anger for a moment. I almost didn't throw the hairpin out!

Clenching her fists, she just wanted to open her mouth to scold, but was stopped by the fierce eyes of the eldest lady.

Seeing Gu Jinxiu staring at herself, Gu Jinli raised her lips and smiled brightly: "What, the second sister doesn't like this gift?" ”

Taking a deep breath, Gu Jinxiu told herself in her heart that she had to be calm and calm, she couldn't be provoked by Gu Jinli!

Except for her mother and eldest brother, these two dearest people, she can't lose the image of the lady in front of anyone!

"Such a valuable gift. How could you not like it? Gritting her teeth, she said word by word: "I like it, I like it very much!" ”

What jade green face bracelet, what smoke cloud shadow hairpin, obviously all those jewelry that Gu Jinli brought to her in her dowry when she got married!

The third aunt and the two concubines don't know the goods, but she and the eldest lady will definitely not be mistaken!

changed a few lofty-sounding names, and then took their things to borrow flowers to offer Buddha?

Hmph, Gu Jinli's skin is really getting thicker and thicker!

The eldest lady looked at the lip prints on Gu Jinli's teacup, her eyes lit up, and she said kindly: "I heard that you and the prince were assassinated?" Can the assassin be caught? ”

Gu Jinli put down the teacup: "Caught it." ”

The Grand Lady knew last night that the assassin had been caught, so there was no surprise. After saying "just catch it", she said tentatively: "Can you interrogate the person behind the scenes?" ”

Gu Jinxiu looked at Gu Jinli with a blank look, and when she saw that her brows were furrowed, her heart unconsciously lifted.

"That man was severely tortured by the prince, and he couldn't stand the torture, so he recruited him." In an unhurried tone, Gu Jinli stood up, slowly walked to the eldest lady, and asked softly, "Mother, guess who wants to harm me?" ”

Although her gaze was calm, there was a cold behind the calm, which made the eldest lady feel cold behind her.

Pinch the handkerchief. The eldest lady said in a dry voice, "Yes...... Who is it? ”

Gu Jinli's eyes lit up deeply, and he said after a while: "The prince found a purple jade bracelet on the assassin's body, and the owner of the bracelet is the person behind the scenes. ”

Qi Hao caught the assassin, and it was Hexiang who listened to the maid on the way to Yixin Courtyard.

And the eldest lady's question just now shows that she has no bottom in her heart and wants to hear some news from herself.

Since the eldest lady dares to poison herself, she should think about the consequences after she misses!

If you don't give up in the future and want to harm yourself endlessly, then the purple jade bracelet is the evidence of the eldest lady's crime!

The third aunt, Gu Jinyu, and Gu Jinyao didn't know about the purple jade bracelet at the birthday banquet, and they weren't interested in who wanted to kill Gu Jinli.

But as soon as Gu Jinxiu heard it, she immediately understood.

Originally. Gu Jinli is holding a bracelet to blackmail the eldest lady!

If she didn't mind the image in front of people, according to her temperament, she really wanted to slap Gu Jinli in the face.

The eldest lady narrowed her eyes, and a wave of murderous intent poured out of her phoenix eyes.

It was she who asked someone from the Guogong Mansion to do it, but she didn't expect this little slut to make a fuss from the purple jade bracelet, damn it!

looked at Gu Jinli's wrist, the sleeves were too long, and she couldn't tell whether she was wearing the purple jade bracelet or really gave it to Qi Hao, the eldest lady said quietly: "That bracelet is the key, you go back and tell Lord Ning, don't lose it!" ”

"Although you are a wife, you are still too young." After a pause, she said in a tone that could not be refused: "You come to the room with me, I have something close to me to explain to you." ”

However, Gu Jinli didn't give face to the eldest lady, looked at the bright daylight outside, and said with a smile: "Mother, I haven't been out for a short time, it's time to go back." ”

"It's still a long time in the future, so let's have a chance to talk slowly."

Before a few people could react, she had already left the hall with the maid.

The eldest lady's hidden trick has not yet been used, but Gu Jinli has given her an army, and her face is bruised.

Gu Jinyao looked at Gu Jinli's back in a daze, stretched out her fingers and said in disbelief: "She...... She actually ...... How dare you have such an attitude towards your mother? What an elder! ”

The third aunt put down the hand that was stroking the bracelet, and also echoed: "Yes, it's only been a few days since I married into King Ning's mansion, why are you so presumptuous!" ”

Their mother and daughter are dependent on the eldest lady and Gu Jinxiu to survive in the mansion, so they have always grovelled and been cautious in doing things and talking, and Gu Jinli's behavior is simply a big rebellion!

Seeing that the eldest lady's chest was rising and falling in anger, Gu Jinyao slapped the table angrily and said angrily: "Mother, don't be angry, I'll take that girl back and apologize to you!" ”

With that, she hurried out.

Mama Liu poured a cup of tea. "Madame, you are discouraged."

The eldest lady pinched the handkerchief, and the resentment in her heart turned into a sneer after seeing the teacup.

"No problem." Gulping down the tea, she exhaled a heavy breath.

"Stop!" Just as Gu Jinli and Hexiang were passing by the pond, Gu Jinyao shouted and stopped them.

Gu Jinli was stunned, turned around and looked at Gu Jinyao with an angry face, and said puzzledly: "Fourth sister, do you still have something?" ”

Gu Jinyao said angrily: "Go back and apologize to your mother!" ”

"Huh?" Gu Jinli had a smile in her eyes, and asked knowingly, "Did I do something wrong to make my mother angry?" ”

The real Gu Jinxiu is delicate and selfish, and narrow-minded. But she has the eldest lady behind her back.

Moreover, if she hadn't seen through her face, she would have always been the perfect concubine.

Compared with Gu Jinxiu, Gu Jinyao is like a simple-minded clown.

A concubine, often doing some stupid things in order to please the eldest lady, mother and daughter, thinks she can make people look up, but she is used as a gun!

Just like now, Gu Jinyao seems to have forgotten that the person standing in front of her at this time is no longer Gu Jinli from Liuli Courtyard......

"Mother didn't let you go, how dare you go? If you are so disrespectful to your mother, what should you do according to family law? As she spoke, she rudely pulled Gu Jinli's arm, and was about to walk in the direction of the hall without saying a word.

Seeing this, Hexiang was afraid that Gu Jinyao would touch Gu Jinli's injuries, so she hurriedly stopped her and said, "Fourth Miss, let go quickly, our young lady still has injuries on her body!" ”

Gu Jinyao just wanted to drag Gu Jinli to the eldest lady to ask for credit, where did she care about the injury, pushed Hexiang away, raised her eyebrows and said, "Hexiang, you have only been to King Ning's Mansion for a few days, so you dare to yell at me?" You dare to shout again. I'll let my mother punish you in a while! ”

"Lotus fragrance!"

Hexiang was pushed, didn't stand firm, and almost fell into the pond, but fortunately, Gu Jinli quickly used her other hand to hold her.

Her eyes suddenly turned cold, Gu Jinli shook off Gu Jinyao, and said coldly: "Fourth sister, on the elder and younger, you should call me a sister; In terms of identity, I am now the concubine of King Ning given by the emperor. ”

"You were so rude to me just now...... I don't know what will happen when it reaches the ears of my father and the emperor? ”

"What?" Gu Jinyao didn't expect Gu Jinli to use the identity of King Ning's concubine to suppress herself, and said with a pale face for a while, "Gu Jinli." What kind of concubine are you Ning Wang? If it weren't for the eldest sister, she would ......"

Suddenly, she quickly looked around.

If the eldest lady knows that she almost leaked her mouth and leaked Gu Jinxiu's identity, then not to mention that the eldest lady's promise to find her a wishful husband is going to be blown, I'm afraid even her head will fall off!

patted her chest, but fortunately there was no one, and she was relieved.

Gu Jinli naturally knew Gu Jinyu's thoughts, and smiled slightly, "What if it wasn't for the eldest sister?" Why didn't you say it? ”

Gu Jinyao was so angry that she couldn't refute, so she could only say again: "Go back and apologize to your mother!" ”

Gu Jinli shook her head, too lazy to pay any more attention.

Gu Jinyao saw that she was about to leave, so she stepped on Gu Jinli's long skirt and wanted to trip her.

Hexiang exclaimed, "Miss! ”

Gu Jinli's body was crooked, but the next moment she hugged Gu Jinyao with her backhand.

"Bang", Gu Jinyao fell into the pond due to inertia.
