Qi Hao looked at Gu Jinli, looking at her sudden appearance of hanging high that had nothing to do with herself, and unconsciously moved in her heart.

I have to say that every time she is in danger, he is on the sidelines, and she always seems to be able to calmly and freely turn the danger into a disaster.

He didn't need to say or do anything, she would solve all the mysteries for him, or leave a gap for him to investigate slowly.

Perhaps, at the beginning or during this process, he had an attitude of watching or watching a good show, but in the end, he privately said that he still had a trace of appreciation for her.

In today's game of chess, she is witty and intelligent, she is eloquent, she attaches importance to the affection of master and servant, and she is also the one who can give up and abandon coldness and courage.

She used to be brave enough to stand in front of the maid, put down her self-esteem and identity and kneel and be beaten in public, and she could also fight back after being betrayed and deceived.

This kind of Gu Jinli is not like Wanwan, but it is more vivid and vivid than Wanwan's character......

Snorted coldly, Qi Hao blink of an eye, his eyes had already changed to anger, "Jin Mei, tell me honestly, who instructed you to steal the hairpin?" ”

Jin Mei had tears streaming down her face, and she choked up: "Wang ...... Lord, this hairpin ...... It wasn't stolen by slaves and maidservants, it was ...... It was stolen by Cui Ping! ”

"Huh, Cuiping?" Madame Yu rolled her eyes and pouted, "Cui Ping is obviously a girl working in the big kitchen, what does it have to do with you?" Could it be that she stole this hairpin and stored it with you temporarily? ”

"Woooooooooo......oo Slaves. The slave maid and Cui Ping ......" Jin Mei thought about the two of them's plan to lose their heads, pinched her sleeves and lost the courage to continue.

"Say!" Qi Hao glared at Jin Mei angrily, so frightened that she closed her eyes and said stiffly: "The slave maid and Cuiping have been oppressed by Mama Gui for a long time, so they made an appointment...... She is responsible for stealing the princess's hairpin, and I am responsible for poisoning the master and planting it for Mama Gui, so ......"

After explaining everything tremblingly, she kowtowed again: "Woo...... Lord Wang, the slave is wrong, the slave will never dare again! ”

"Woo...... Ask the prince and princess to spare their lives! ”

Mrs. Yu covered her mouth and smiled heartily at Gu Jinli: "Tsk, Concubine Gu." I really didn't expect that this little girl next to you is very powerful, and she knows how to kill people with a knife! ”

"However, no matter how you say that you are her master, even you have to take advantage of it, this heart is really vicious! Oh, that's not right, it's also possible to follow what kind of person you are learning to do! ”

When she said this, she was satirizing Gu Jinli for being calculated by her own people, and secondly, she implied that Jin Mei's ruthlessness was also learned from Gu Jinli, the master. In short, two words, deserved!

For Mrs. Yu's cynicism, it was like facing Qi Hao's ruthlessness, Gu Jinli had long been accustomed to it, so she didn't bother to have a war of words with her.

Anyway, whether Qi Hao punishes Mama Gui, Jin Mei or Cui Ping, it has nothing to do with him.

Madame Jade is willing to spit a little more and let her go!

"Okay, you Jinmei, you dare to put the basin on the old lady's head, I ......" When Mama Gui heard this, she was so angry that she couldn't wait to stand up immediately and throw a few big-eared scrapers to Jinmei. But he was stopped by Yin Suwan with her eyes.

Mama Gui was unwilling, and she also let go of her throat and wailed: "Woo...... Lord Wang, the old slave is really wronged! It's all Jinmei, a little slut, who wants to take revenge on the old slave, woo...... The old slave begs the prince to call the shots! ”

Here Jin Mei is begging for forgiveness, and over there Mama Gui is shouting wrongs, and the two slaves, one old and one young, instantly made the whole hall deafening.

"Don't cry, cry again and pull out the cane to death!" Qi Hao frowned, and then said to Du Jiang: "Go and bring Cuiping over!" Which is right and which is wrong, people coming? A piece to make it clear! ”

Compared with drugging and harming people, the crime of accumulating money is smaller, so Mama Gui has confidence at this time.

Hmph, the truth is revealed, everything is done by Cuiping and Jin Mei, the two dead girls, and it's the two of them who want to lose their heads!

Jin Mei sucked? Son, I just hope that Qi Hao can read it later for the sake of her confession and leniency, and let her hair fall lightly.

After a while, Cuiping was brought in by Du Jiang.

Seeing Mama Gui and Jin Mei kneeling on the ground with tears streaming down their faces, both of them had big bags swollen on their foreheads, one of them stared at him with old eyes and hatred, like a fierce tiger, he could eat himself with his mouth open, and the other looked at himself with red eyes, as if he was going to hell together next.

"The slave maid has seen the prince, the princess, Concubine Gu and the two ladies." Kneeling down quietly, Cui Ping behaved much calmer than Jin Mei, and it seemed that she had a plan in her heart.

Qi Hao nodded, and said coldly: "Cui Ping, you and Jin Mei framed Mama Gui out of revenge, harmed Concubine Gu, and stole some Cui hairpins, can you admit your guilt?" ”

Jin Mei is Gu Jinli's person, and Gui Mama is Yin Suwan's person, and their every move represents the master behind them.

Last time, it was Mama Gui who wronged Jin Mei, and this time it was Mama Gui who framed Mama Gui, on the surface it was a personal grudge between the subordinates, but in the depths, it was their master who was fighting each other!

The war between women starts with you coming and going, and then there will be a self-inflicted relationship.

And Cui Ping was instructed by others to provoke and worsen the contradiction between Gu Jinli and Yin Suwan.

But he didn't expect that Qi Hao had already gained insight into the intentions behind them, and sent someone to hide the hairpin in the Jinmei house.

Jin Mei was not exposed because of the medicine bag, but because of the hairpin that should have been in Cui Ping's hand, she was pulled into this game again.

At the critical moment of life and death, it is definitely oneself that needs to be preserved.

Therefore, if Jin Mei wants to get away with it, she can only confess Cui Ping.

Once Cuiping is bitten out, the mastermind behind Cuiping will be exposed!

Before coming, Cuiping was happy that she had succeeded in framing Mama Gui, but this happiness was less than half a cup of tea, and Jin Mei was passed on by Du Jiang to Yixin Courtyard again.

After that, Cui Ping has been restless, worried that she will be confessed by Jin Mei.

Sure enough, when Du Jiang reappeared, the person who took it away became her.

On the way to come. She deliberately walked slowly, in order to buy a little more time to think about countermeasures quickly, but as Qi Hao expected, she seemed to have no better choice than to talk to her.

Kowtowing heavily, Cui Ping took a deep breath, as if he had made a major decision, glanced at the left front, and whispered for a while: "Lord Wang, the slave is ......"

Suddenly, her face turned pale, she seemed to have seen a ghost, and her half-kneeling body was slumped on the ground as if someone had drained her strength all at once.

Closing her eyes, she said in a trembling voice: "The slave confesses, everything was done by the slave and the maid at the instigation of Jin Mei." ”

"Lord Wang, the slave and maid know that the crime is heinous, and they dare not ask for the forgiveness of the prince and Concubine Gu, but only ask the prince to raise his noble hand and let go of the slave's family."

Slowly kowtowed, Cuiping couldn't cry anymore.

"Oh?" After hearing this, Qi Hao's cold eyes darkened a little, and he said word by word: "Cuiping, is it really just your idea?" This king advises you to think carefully before you speak. ”

His tone was low and majestic, and there was a hint of warning in his hint, which made Cuiping's eyes flash.

Lowering her head, she swallowed her tears and nodded silently.

Compared with the previous Gui Mama and Jin Mei, Cui Ping is not noisy or noisy, and everyone feels incredible for such a happy confession.

She is like a "soldier" who knows the end of his fate and rushes to die, but she gives people the illusion of "heroic righteousness" and "seeing death as home".

Of course, it can also be a sign of willingness to be a scapegoat......

Jin Mei thought that Cui Ping would be like herself, begging Qi Hao to forgive her life, but she didn't expect her to confess her guilt so unstrutently, and she was stunned for a while.

Two people at the same time sympathy and pity must be more effective than one person, everyone makes bitter meat tricks together, desperately crying and kowtowing, what if Qi Hao's heart softens?

Cuiping, why didn't she say anything, was she stupid?

Tugging Cuiping's arm, Jin Mei whispered to Cuiping by pretending to wipe her tears: "Quick, beg the prince, hurry!" ”

However, Cui Ping was indifferent, like a wooden man who had been pointed.

"Woooooooooo......oo Lord, since the truth has come out, the old slave is innocent! Please give the old slave justice! "Now it's time for Grandma Gui to start-for-tat, her shrill cry so suddenly that it almost bursts people's eardrums.

No way, she had to strike first.

Only by grasping the initiative can we fully overwhelm these two little who dare to climb on their heads, so that they can't turn over!

complained about Cuiping in his heart. Jin Mei twisted her thighs hard, and the tears that had dried just now quickly welled up again, and she kowtowed again: "Lord Wang, the slave knows that she is wrong...... Woo, beg the prince to spare the slave and maid, the slave and maid really don't dare! ”

Gu Jinli looked at the endless posture of the two of them, and felt very bored.

Jin Mei had already given up asking Gu Jinli for help just now, so seeing that Cuiping was still lowering her head as if she had no soul, her head flashed, and she amplified her voice even more, howling even more than Mama Gui: "Woo...... Lord Wang, everything is mastered by Cui Ping! The slave and maid are just confused for a while, please ask the prince to be gracious! ”

Since even Cui Ping herself doesn't fight for a chance to live, then Jin Mei doesn't have to care about anyone's life or death, it is better to directly and cleanly push all the charges on Cui Ping's head, maybe there will be a turnaround!

Gu Jinli looked at Jin Mei, who was crying bitterly, and a sudden sadness arose in her heart.

exploitation, deception, betrayal, selfishness, cunning, hypocrisy......

You never know how ugly human nature can be......

If they were faced with such a situation with Aiyue and Hexiang, would they send her to the knife for their lives?

Pursing her lips, she clenched her fingers.

Aiyue and Hexiang are the two most important people to her after her mother's death.

She never treated them as slaves, but treated them like her sisters, and the two of them have really protected and cared for her all the way for so many years.

Therefore, her assumption just now is not valid.

The three of them, no matter what they face in the future, will advance and retreat together, and they will definitely not have such selfish behavior as Jin Mei......

Qi Hao caught a glimpse of Gu Jinli's eyes staring at Jin Mei with a faint sadness, and couldn't help but call: "Gu Jinxiu." ”

"Huh?" Gu Jinli raised her eyes and finally came back to her senses.

Qi Hao pointed at Jin Mei and said to Du Jiang in a deep voice: "Jin Mei and Cui Ping are heinous, drag them out and feed them to the dog!" ”

"Yes, lord." After hearing this, Du Jiang waved his hand outside, and immediately came in a few guards and took Jin Mei and Cui Ping out.

Cui Ping's eyes were blank, and he didn't shout loudly until he was about to be dragged to the door: "Please forgive the slave's family, please forgive the slave's family!" ”

And Jin Mei was fluttering and shouting: "Lord Wang, the slave is wrong!" ”

"Master, Concubine Gu! Whining...... The slave doesn't want to die! Whining...... Master! ”

As the voices of the two faded away, only one Gui Mama was left kneeling in the center of the hall, and Qi Hao looked down at her. Said slowly: "Mama Gui bullied her subordinates, greedy for money, and expelled her from the palace!" ”

When Yin Suwan heard this, she whispered: "Brother Hao, Mama Gui ...... her."

Qi Hao clenched Yin Suwan's hand, and his voice was cold: "The pleading person will be punished with twenty boards." ”

Among the people here, except for Yin Suwan and Mrs. Liu, who will intercede for Mama Gui, Mrs. Yu and Gu Jinli will not at all.

And Mrs. Liu learned to be obedient this time, just watching the play quietly, so it is impossible for her to speak for Mama Gui anymore.

Therefore, Qi Hao's words were actually said to Yin Suwan.

Of course, he wouldn't really beat Yin Suwan for twenty boards, but he was just hinting to her that he had made up his mind.

Yin Suwan also knew what Qi Hao meant, so she could only keep her mouth shut.

Seeing Qi Hao's resolute attitude, Mama Gui gritted her teeth, stood up "poof", and in the puzzled eyes of everyone, she rolled up her sleeves and said in a hoarse voice: "Lord, princess!" ”

With such a solemn and tragic tone, Qi Hao couldn't help but look at her.

"The old slave has been in the mansion for many years, this Ning Wangfu is the old slave's home, and now the prince wants to drive the old slave away, and the old slave can only obey orders!"

"But...... The old slave has betrayed the trust of the Queen Mother, and he is really shameless! ”

"Old slave...... The old slave might as well be dead! ”

With that, she slammed straight into the pillar beside her.

"Mama Gui!" Yin Suwan was startled and exhaled urgently.

Fortunately, Du Jiang was quick and stopped her in time.

It's just that Mama Gui's forehead still bumpersed with blood, and it seems that she was really strong just now.

"Too ...... Queen Mother, Old ...... The old slave can't stand you! With trembling hands, she exaggerated the little blood on her forehead, and Mama Gui said this sentence weakly. His eyes went black and he fainted.

Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Yu were really frightened, and their faces turned a little pale.

Madame Yu pinched the handkerchief and stammered, "This Gui ...... Mama Gui is still ...... Still a backbone...... No...... It's not going to die, is it? ”

Du Jiang probed Gui's grandmother? sighed, turned his head and said, "Don't worry, Mama Gui is fine." ”

After hearing that Mama Gui was fine, Mrs. Liu breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's okay." ”

Mama Gui mentioned the Queen Mother several times with death forgiveness, how could Qi Hao not know her thoughts?

Don't you want him to open up the net for the sake of the Queen Mother?

If the Queen Mother knew in the palace that Mama Gui was forced to hit the pillar by herself, maybe something would happen......

Yin Suwan squeezed Qi Hao's hand and said softly, "Brother Hao." It seems that Mama Gui really knows that she is wrong, so let's forgive her again, okay? ”

By doing this, she is giving Qi Hao a step.

After all, if Mama Gui really drives out, the Queen Mother will definitely be chilled.

Gu Jinli looked at Mama Gui, who was supported by Du Jiang, and sneered in her heart.

It's really an old man who came out of the palace, this trick is really good!

Raising her eyes and looking at Yin Suwan's empathetic face again, Gu Jinli admired her a little more.

At first, I didn't help Mama Gui speak, but now I help her intercede, this woman. The mind is not ordinarily deep!

Qi Hao's gaze met Gu Jinli for a moment, catching the coldness at the bottom of her eyes.

Taking a deep breath, he muffled and said, "Don't take it as an example!" ”

While Yin Suwan followed Qi Hao's line of sight, Gu Jinli had already turned her face away and looked in other directions.

Pulling her lips, Yin Suwan said in a low voice, "Thank you, Brother Hao." ”

After signaling Du Jiang to carry Gui Mama down, Qi Hao coldly swept around the people present, and said quietly: "In the future, if there are any more people with bad intentions and wrong thoughts, this king will be severely punished!" ”

Waving his hand, he rubbed his eyebrows. He looked tired and said, "Let's go back!" ”

Mrs. Yu and Mrs. Liu glanced at each other and blessed their bodies: "Yes." ”

Gu Jinli also saluted and walked out of the Pleasant Heart Courtyard with lotus incense.

On the way back, Gu Jinli recalled Cuiping's every move today, and her brows couldn't help frowning.

Cui Ping's calm was too weird not to say it first, but before she confessed, it seemed that she had changed the words that were about to come to her mouth in an instant.

And at that moment, there was a look of panic in her eyes, obviously because of what she saw.

So, what did she see?

Gu Jinli carefully peeled off the cocoon little by little, and something inadvertently overlapped in her mind.

If I'm not mistaken, Cui Ping was looking in the left front at the time.

The person sitting on the main seat is Qi Hao, Yin Suwan is on his left hand side, and his right hand side is the table.

Next to Yin Suwan were Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Yu, while she and Qi Hao sat across a table, that is, opposite Mrs. Yu.

In this way, the person watching Cuiping should be Yin Suwan or Mrs. Liu......

At that time, Yin Suwan had always held Qi Hao with one hand, and the other hand was flat on her knees, and the almost standard ladylike posture had not moved, but at the critical moment when Cuiping spoke, Mrs. Liu seemed to raise her hand and touched the bamboo hairpin on the bun, so what did she do when she touched the hairpin?

What exactly is a coincidence. Or is it a hint?

By the way, where did a maid in Cuiping get the poison of "three days of drunkenness"?

Therefore, the person behind this who instructed Cuiping must be Mrs. Liu......

The coldness in her eyes gradually deepened, Gu Jinli sighed faintly, and muttered: "People's hearts, it's really dark and ......."

Seeing that Gu Jinli's face was not good-looking, Hexiang said worriedly: "Miss, what's wrong with you?" ”

Gu Jinli shook her head and continued to walk towards the Fuyuan Courtyard.

After everyone left, after Qi Hao explained some things to Du Jiang, he hugged Yin Suwan back to the room.

Sitting on the bed, Yin Suwan lowered her head and whispered, "Brother Hao, I'm sorry, I'm ...... I'm too emotional today, it's my fault. ”

Qi Hao didn't expect Yin Suwan to apologize first, a smile was dyed in her eyes, she hugged her in her arms, and chuckled: "It's not your fault, it's the king's fault." It should be explained to you. ”

Neither of them mentioned anything, but they both knew it in their hearts.

Yin Suwan hugged Qi Hao tightly, "Brother Hao, I'm like this now, I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you to the banquet tomorrow...... Otherwise, you can take Concubine Gu with you, right? ”

Qi Hao shook his head and said lightly: "If this king doesn't go, just accompany you in the mansion." ”

When Yin Suwan heard this, she raised her head and said disapprovingly: "Brother Hao, Xuan Shizi has been away from Beijing for many years, and he finally came back once. The Qing King is at the border, King Xuan is seriously injured and has not recovered, the Seven Princes don't have much experience, and the eight years old are young, if you don't go again, what does this make the emperor and the ministers think? ”

Kissing Yin Suwan's forehead, Qi Hao sighed and muttered, "Wanwan, what should this king do if he just wants to take you?" ”

"Shuang'er has already grasped the medicine according to the prescription prescribed by Concubine Gu, and will accompany you when Wanwan is well." Women are always at odds, even if they hate. No matter how jealous you are, you still have to pretend to be generous and virtuous.

Qi Hao looked at her and asked, "You're not afraid that she will poison you?" ”

Yin Suwan nodded and said disapprerovingly: "With Brother Hao here, I am not afraid of anything, you will protect me." ”

Putting his head on Yin Suwan's shoulder, Qi Hao didn't know if it was a joke or if he really felt it, "Alas, there are too many women in the palace, and this king really wants to clean them all out." ”

Yin Suwan listened to it and teased: "Brother Hao." People can't wait to enjoy it? Blessings to man! Don't be born in bliss and be not satisfied! ”

"Three thousand weak water, this king just wants to take Wanwan's scoop to drink." Qi Hao lowered his eyes, his voice was very soft, but it was extremely serious.

There are four women in the palace, and it is very common for every noble disciple to be familiar with men and women, Mrs. Liu was forcibly allocated to Qi Hao by the Queen Mother, and Gu Jinli was admitted to the door under his impulsiveness.

Only Wanwan is the one he voluntarily wants to hold in the palm of his hand.

He doesn't envy those men who can sit on the beauties of the world, but he wants to sit on the world.

So, if you want to sit in that position, how can you take only one scoop by your own heart?

After all, the front faces the harem. Closely linked......

It's just a last resort to get to that point......

The woman is a strange and contradictory animal, no matter whether the sweet words are true or not, after listening to it, her heart will be infinitely sweet: "Brother Hao...... Thank you. ”

Seeing that Qi Hao was silent, Yin Suwan called again: "Brother Hao, what are you thinking?" ”

"Nothing." Qi Hao came back to his senses from his thoughts and said in a deep voice: "Wanwan, you are also tired, let's rest." ”

With that, he took off his shoes and went to bed.

Yin Suwan was stunned, and then obediently lay in Qi Hao's arms and closed her eyes.

Although Qi Hao also closed his eyes, his mind was thinking about today's events.

Du Jiang had checked Steward Zhou's records before, and Cuiping had a younger sister in her hometown, so someone must have threatened her with her sister......

Moreover, that person must have been there, otherwise Cui Ping's change of words would not have been so sudden......

Gu Jinli is victim, it can't be her, Mrs. Yu doesn't have the brain to plan so carefully, Wanwan is so kind, there is no need to sacrifice Mama Gui to get rid of Gu Jinli, then there is only one Mrs. Liu left......

Thinking of Mrs. Liu, Qi Hao opened his eyes, and there were two coldness in Peach Blossom's eyes.

Well...... I went to the hospital today and had 2 more tubes of blood drawn...... I'm so sad in my heart, my body is really the capital, I hope you take care of your health, girls, alas...... If I could go back in time, I would never stay up late again!! Good night, good night, good night, hope for a miracle
