In the study, Qi Hao had just poured down a bowl of black bitter medicine when he saw Qin Feng come in, "Lord, the prince went to Xuanwang's Mansion with a gift today." ”

Qi Hao took a sip of tea, diluted the bitter taste in his mouth for a few minutes, and then said, "Xuanwangfu? ”

Qin Feng nodded, "King Xuan's injury has not healed, so the prince came to the door in the name of visiting the patient. ”

"Well, don't you say that this king actually forgot King Xuan." Qi Hao sneered and said slowly: "He has been sick for a long time, tell Ah Bao, it's almost okay." ”

Qin Feng said again: "By the way, last time, because we intercepted the letter sent back by the Qing King to Beijing, this aroused Concubine Li's suspicions, and she is now preparing to send someone to secretly go to the border pass." ”

"Heh, Concubine Li has really been spoiled by her father over the years, and she has become more and more bold!" Qi Hao listened to it, and looked disdainful: "It's okay, let her go!" ”

After hearing this, Qin Feng disagreed: "Lord Wang, if you let Concubine Li's people see the Qing King, in case you ......"

Qi Hao looked at Qin Feng coldly, "If Concubine Li's people don't go to the border pass, how can this king let the Queen Mother take action and cure the sins of Concubine Li and King Qing?" ”

"Uh...... What the prince said was that his subordinates were stupid. Qin Feng touched his nose in embarrassment, very embarrassed.

"Lord Wang." At this time, Du Jiang came in from outside the door.

Arching his hand, he said, "The second miss of the Gu family is here." ”

"Huh?" Qi Hao raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but think of the picture of Gu Jinxiu abusing Gu Jinli at the dinner that day.

Pursing his lips, he asked, "She came to Gu Jinxiu?" ”

Du Jiang said: "Yes, Miss Gu Er's face is not very good, so she went directly to the Fuyuan Academy." ”

"Du Jiang, you go to the dark and stare at this Second Miss Gu." As soon as the words came out, Qi Hao waved his hand again and changed his words: "That's it, it's better for this king to go over in person." ”

The person who came was not good, such a vulgar and rude Miss Gu Er, according to Gu Jinli's temperament, could she really handle it?

"Huh?" Qin Feng's eyes widened, and he looked Qi Hao up and down, "Lord Wang, the injury on your back is not healed yet!" Doctor Wei said that it is best to lie in bed and recuperate, and you can't move around at will! ”

"This king is tired from lying down, and it won't get in the way when he walks a few steps." Qi Hao lifted the quilt and motioned for Du Jiang to bring the robe on the hanger.

In the most remote corner of the entire palace, walking from the study, where is the distance of a few steps?

Du Jiang was also worried about Qi Hao's body, so he persuaded: "Lord Wang, my subordinates will definitely come back to you word for word about the words between Miss Gu Er and Concubine Gu, so you can rest in peace!" ”

Qi Hao frowned, and insisted on getting out of bed despite the persuasion of the two guards.

In fact, he went to Fuyuan not only to find out Gu Jinxiu's bottom, but also because he wanted to see Gu Jinli.

After all, her hand was injured because of Yin Suwan, and it was normal for him to visit her in the past, right?

Du Jiang had no choice but to put on his robe for Qi Hao.

Gu Jinxiu tossed all night because of resentment and anger, and Gu Jinli also didn't sleep all night because of the swelling and pain in her fingers.

finally waited until it was almost dawn, and she felt a little sleepy, but just a few hours after sleeping, she was pulled out of bed by Gu Jinxiu's neck.

Aiyue and Hexiang stood on the left and right and pulled Gu Jinxiu's arm, and said in shock: "Miss, let go of Miss quickly!" ”

"Miss, she's injured, let her go!"

Gu Jinxiu had a lot of strength, not only pinching Gu Jinli's neck, but also kicking the two maids respectively.

Gu Jinli's face was pale, it was difficult to breathe, and her hands were wrapped in thick gauze, so she couldn't struggle, so she could only say hard: "Gu Jin...... Jinxiu, you ...... again What's crazy again? ”

Gu Jinxiu stared at the beautiful but sickly face in front of her, gritted her teeth and said, "In the past, I only knew that you were good at clever words, but I didn't know that what you like most is to hook up with people behind your back!" ”

"You say, when did you covet King Xuan? What method did you use to get your father to agree to marry you to King Xuan? ”

In Gu Jinxiu's eyes, if it weren't for Gu Jinli's love for King Xuan and her father's consent in private, her father would never have been so firm in opposing his marriage with King Xuan.

Therefore, in the face of this woman who ruined her happiness, how could Gu Jinxiu not hate!

In addition, I didn't like it before, and I hated Gu Jinli so much that my teeth itched, so I hated it even more, and hated it even more!

Gu Jinli didn't know how she could have a relationship with King Xuan, who couldn't fight with eight poles, so she endured the pain on her ten fingers, and tried to push Gu Jinxiu away: "You...... What did you say? I...... I really don't understand! ”

"Miss, our young lady really has nothing to do with King Xuan, you must have misunderstood something!" Hexiang's brain turned fast, and as soon as she heard Gu Jinxiu's words, she immediately knelt on the ground with a "poof", and hugged Gu Jinxiu's thigh while defending Gu Jinli.

Aiyue had just been kicked by Gu Jinxiu in her lower abdomen, endured the pain, and stopped in front of Gu Jinli, and said loudly: "Miss, if you dare to make trouble again, slave maid...... The slave and maid went to find the prince! ”

After hearing this, Gu Jinxiu raised her hand to slap Aiyue, and said angrily: ", you dare to threaten me?" ”

Aiyue was beaten so that the corners of her mouth were bloody, Gu Jinli's eyes were full of distress, and she shouted: "Aiyue!" ”

Wiping the corners of her mouth, Aiyue stepped forward again, stalked her neck, and ignored Gu Jinxiu's fierce eyes.

He Xiang also got up from the ground, and the two of them protected Gu Jinli behind them.

Unable to touch Gu Jinli again, Gu Jinxiu pointed at the three masters and servants, trembling with anger, "Little slut, that Queen Mother's birthday banquet, if it weren't for Qi Hao, you would have entered the Hades Palace a long time ago!" Where is the place where you can still be rampant? ”

Gu Jinli had long known that the assassination was done by the eldest lady, and she stroked her chest, she gasped: "In the past few years, I think I have never done anything to be sorry for you. ”

"On the contrary, it's you, who can't get along with me again and again."

"If I really want to be difficult for you and the eldest lady, do you think you can still stand here and point fingers at me today?"

Just like a lover's eyes, in Gu Jinxiu's heart, King Xuan is a priceless treasure, but any woman will definitely have ill intentions towards King Xuan.

Every woman is her imaginary enemy, especially Gu Huai, who personally said that he would marry King Xuan.

"You touch your conscience, do you really have no intention of King Xuan?" While speaking, Gu Jinxiu was about to step forward to beat Gu Jinli again.

"Miss, this is King Ning's Mansion, you have to figure it out!" Seeing this, Hexiang hurriedly hugged Gu Jinxiu's waist and warned urgently: "If you continue to make trouble, if the prince knows, you will be the one who suffers!" ”

Gu Jinxiu heard Hexiang mention Qi Hao, and her face really changed.

Although she pinched Gu Jinli's neck just now, she also used enough strength, but Gu Jinli was not dead after all.

But if you are not reconciled, you are not reconciled, what Hexiang said is right, Qi Hao did not go to court today, if he really heard the movement, it would not be cost-effective to expose himself!

"If you can hide once, I don't believe you can be so lucky every time! We'll see! Pushing the lotus incense to the ground heavily, Gu Jinxiu snorted coldly and dropped a cruel word.

Knowing that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, Gu Jinxiu hurriedly walked out.

However, not long after she walked out of the courtyard gate, she bumped into Qi Hao dressed in black on the bluestone road that turned left.

Qi Hao put his hands behind his back and looked at Gu Jinxiu with a gloomy face, and his indistinguishable eyes made Gu Jinxiu's heart beat instantly.

She didn't know if he was going to enter the Hibiscus Courtyard or if he was just going to stop.

Or rather, Qi Hao went in and came out again, and deliberately waited for her here......

As soon as her legs were weak, Gu Jinxiu let out a "poof" and involuntarily knelt on the ground.

The momentum in front of Gu Jinli just now was gone.

In front of Qi Hao, in the blink of an eye, she turned into a panicked sheep.

Qi Hao didn't speak, but stared at her deeply.

Gu Jinxiu didn't dare to meet Qi Hao's gaze, so she hurriedly lowered her head and said in a trembling voice: "See...... I've seen Lord Ning. ”

Qi Hao looked at Miss Gu Er, who was trembling and her eyes were evasive, and narrowed her eyes.

As Qi Hao was silent for longer and longer, the area of sweat-soaked clothes behind Gu Jinxiu's back became larger and larger.

Without permission to get up, she could only continue to kneel in fear.

Unexpectedly, in response to the two crow mouths of Hexiang and Aiyue, she was so unlucky to meet Qi Hao here!

If she wants to settle accounts with Gu Jinli, she can wait for Gu Jinli to leave the house or return to the prime minister's mansion another day, why do she have to pick today?

While cursing the two dead girls in his heart, he secretly regretted that he was too impulsive and should not have come to Ning Wangfu.

The matter has come to this, and I can only pray that Qi Hao will not doubt anything.

"Get up." Just when Gu Jinxiu's heart was tormented, Qi Hao finally opened his mouth.

"Multi-...... Thank you, Lord Wang. Gu Jinxiu swallowed a mouthful of saliva and stood up tremblingly, but still buried her head very low.

Except for the slightly oily top of her head, Qi Hao couldn't see any expression on her face.

"Look up." His thin lips opened slightly, and his voice was cold.

This sentence is so familiar.

Just like that night's banquet, in the back garden, Gu Jinxiu's mood at that time.

Clenching her fingers, she slowly raised her head, but her eyes still didn't dare to look at Qi Hao.

Qi Hao's eyes became darker and darker, and he said to Du Jiang after a while: "Take a veil and come here." ”

Gu Jinxiu's heart was shocked, and her body unconsciously took a step back.

Du Jiang probably guessed what Qi Hao was going to do next, and happened to be wearing a black face towel used in the mission, and then glanced at Gu Jinxiu, whose face was a little paler, and took it out and handed it to Qi Hao, "Lord Wang." ”

Qi Hao unfolded the face towel and did not step forward, but held it up and gestured in the air.

Gu Jinxiu's heart rose to her throat, and she even cried in her words, but she still tried to smile on her face, "Wang ...... Lord, what are you ...... What does this do? ”

"Don't speak."

If the person who spoke at this time was Mrs. Yu, Qi Hao would definitely reply with the unceremonious word "shut up".

But because he wanted to be sure of something, he was a little polite to Gu Jinxiu's tone.

The face towel in his hand moved little by little on Gu Jinxiu's face, and it would stop every time it moved to the position under his eyes.

After repeating this many times, the panic in Gu Jinxiu's eyes gradually turned into fear.

The coldness in Qi Hao's eyes slowly turned into killing intent.

It's just that the killing intent is fleeting.

There was an answer in his mind, and he threw the face towel to Du Jiang, and Qi Hao stepped forward.

Sharp eyes fixed on Gu Jinxiu's face, and he said softly: "Gu Jinxiu." ”

His tone was flat, as if he were stating and as if he were tentative.

Gu Jinxiu's eyes widened, as if she had seen a ghost during the day, her body staggered, and she looked like she was about to stand again: "I...... I don't ......."

A flash of light flashed in Qi Hao's peach blossom eyes, as if she was panting as if she was speaking, and continued: "You are Gu Jinxiu's sister, what's your name?" The king forgot. ”

Gu Jinxiu listened to it and unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, "Little woman...... Look at...... Gu Jinli. ”

Qi Hao nodded and didn't say anything, but he didn't let Gu Jinxiu go.

"Lord, look." At this time, Du Jiang gave Qi Hao a look, and saw several figures hurrying towards this side.

"Mother!" As soon as she saw the eldest lady, Gu Jinxiu was overjoyed and greeted her.

"Jin...... Jinli! The eldest lady held Gu Jinxiu's hand tightly and looked her up and down, as if she had just escaped from the tiger's mouth.

Gu Jinxiu opened her mouth, then shook her head, but her eyes turned red with fear.

After all, the eldest lady is the daughter of Jiang Guogong, and she has seen big scenes and big people over the years.

Therefore, after making sure that Gu Jinxiu was fine, she protected her behind her without a trace, and the eldest lady respectfully saluted Qi Hao: "The courtiers have seen Lord Ning." ”

Qi Hao didn't miss the nervousness in the eyes of the eldest lady just now, hooked his lips, and said lightly: "Mrs. Gu is exempt." ”

After the eldest lady got up, Pi Xiaorou smiled and said, "I heard that Jinxiu was injured, so Jinli was too worried, so she rushed to the palace." If there is any disturbance to the prince, I hope the prince will bear with me. ”

After that, she glanced at Gu Jinxiu meaningfully, "Don't be so reckless in the future!" ”

Gu Jinxiu hurriedly lowered her head, as if she knew her mistake, and said, "Yes, my daughter remembers." ”

Listening to the "deep sisterhood" in the doctor's mouth, Qi Hao sneered in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

His gaze wandered between the eldest lady and Gu Jinxiu for a moment, and he suddenly said with interest: "It is said that Miss Gu Er's mother was raised outside by Gu Xiang, and today I saw that Mrs. Gu and Miss Gu were so intimate, it was really as deep as rumored!" ”

The eldest lady and Gu Jinxiu's expressions froze, and their expressions were very unnatural.

Pulling her lips, the eldest lady responded to all changes with no change: "Although Jinli is not from me, it is also the flesh and blood of our Gu family, and the courtiers treat her well, and it is also right." ”

Qi Hao's eyes were faint, and he said in a deep voice: "Gu Jinxiu is the biological daughter of the eldest lady, but if you look closely, Miss Gu Er's appearance looks more like Mrs. Gu than her!" ”

The eldest lady pulled her lips and smiled, but she didn't know how to respond, so she had to say: "I've been together for a long time day and night, and it's not strange that I look alike." ”

After a pause, the eldest lady was afraid that she would lose too many words, so before Qi Hao spoke again, she immediately said: "Lord, it's not too early, and the courtiers will go back with Jinli first." ”

Qi Hao said "um" and waved his hand.

After hearing this, the eldest lady quickly left with Gu Jinxiu and a few maids behind her.

Seeing the eldest lady and the others leave, Du Jiang said in a low voice: "Lord, it stands to reason that Concubine Gu is the eldest lady's concubine, why does she know that Concubine Gu is injured, but she doesn't even have a word of concern?" ”

"Moreover, judging from her words and deeds, the eldest lady is very nervous about Miss Gu Er, and her subordinates think this is very strange."

Qi Hao looked back in the direction of the Fuyuan Courtyard and sneered, "Why is it so simple? It's just weird! ”

From the time Gu Jinxiu mentioned the assassination of the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, he appeared at the door.

Signaling the people passing by in the courtyard to silence, he stood lightly under the window and heard the conversation between the two clearly.

Because he knew that the eldest lady secretly asked her brother Jiang Qing to kill and assassinate Gu Jinli last time, he listened to Gu Jinxiu's meaning, which shows that she also knows the inside story.

Thinking of Gu Jinxiu and Gu Jinli's identities again, the relationship between the concubine and the eldest lady is closer than that of the concubine.

Moreover, it is absolutely abnormal for the eldest lady to kill her own daughter with her concubine.

Also, the words of Hexiang and Gu Jinli also have a lot of hints and warnings......

Of course, what aroused Qi Hao's suspicion the most was Gu Jinxiu's reaction when he saw him.

Especially those evasive eyes, like the veiled man on the top of the main hall.

He will never forget that scene, he held a sword and pointed at Gu Jinxiu, and her veil covered half of her face, and the eyes that were only exposed were full of fear, just like Miss Gu Er today.

When he tried to restore the face towel to Gu Jinxiu's face, he was surprised to find that the pair of eyes in front of him were surprisingly consistent with the pair in the main hall that day......

Therefore, there is only one possibility, that is, the current Miss Gu Er is the daughter of the eldest lady!

Otherwise, the eldest lady would not have rushed to the palace in a hurry, and she would not have even said a word of condolences to Gu Jinli......

If it is as he guessed, then the person who really harmed Wanwan in the first place should be ......

Thinking like this, Qi Hao suddenly raised his feet and walked towards the Fuyuan Courtyard.

However, as soon as he took a step, he stopped again.

Du Jiang was the most observant, he thought that Qi Hao would question Gu Jinli, so he said, "Lord Wang, what's wrong?" ”

Qi Hao's eyebrows were furrowed, and he said sharply: "Go check again!" ”

Du Jiang understood, and responded: "Don't worry, your subordinates know what to do." ”

The waves in his heart were wild, and the qi and blood in Qi Hao's chest were also surging.

He coughed heavily, and he coughed up blood.

"Lord Wang!" Du Jiang was startled, so frightened that he hurriedly took out a handkerchief and immediately wiped the corners of Qi Hao's mouth.

Seeing that the wound on his back was also soaked with blood with a violent cough, he hurriedly said, "Lord Wang, my subordinates help you back to the study!" ”

Qi Hao glanced back at the Fuyuan Courtyard with a complicated expression, sighed lightly, and was carried back to the study by Du Jiang.

"Da da da", on the carriage back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Gu Jinxiu was shocked, patted her chest, and pulled the eldest lady's arm and said coquettishly: "Mother, fortunately you came in time, otherwise I would have died today!" ”

"Smack!"

The eldest lady didn't say a word, but gave Gu Jinxiu a resounding slap with her backhand.

Gu Jinxiu covered her face, the look in her eyes was even more shocked than when she was beaten by Gu Huai last night, and she was resentful: "Mother, why do you even want to beat me?!" ”

The eldest lady's pinky old face was very gloomy, she glared at Gu Jinxiu fiercely, and said sharply: "Kneel!" ”

When Gu Jinxiu heard this, she couldn't believe it even more.

Let's not say that this is in the carriage, even on the flat ground, she has never knelt for the eldest lady and Gu Huai since she grew so big.

Except, of course, for grand festivals such as New Year's holidays.

Seeing that Gu Jinxiu was stunned and didn't move, the eldest lady grabbed her by the collar and dragged her to the ground fiercely.

"Mother!"

Gu Jinxiu couldn't stand steadily, and she was caught off guard by the eldest lady on her knee, and she hissed and said, "My father has given up on me, and my mother doesn't even love me?" ”

The eldest lady pinched her handkerchief and said with hatred: "Because of you, your father almost had a stroke last night!" How dare you run out? ”

"Mother, if it weren't for that slut to marry King Ning for me, otherwise she would have been the one who married King Xuan!" Gu Jinxiu wiped her tears, her emotions were very excited, and her voice became sharp: "I don't know if my mother ever loved someone before my father." ”

"But I know that if you really love someone, you will never tolerate anyone coveting him!"

"Love is selfish, even if my father doesn't want me to marry King Xuan, I will never tolerate others! Especially Gu Jinli, she can't! ”

The eldest lady is also a person who came from girlhood, how can she not have a young and pregnant spring?

Looking at the face in front of her that looked like her when she was young, her heart was sour.

moved his lips, turned his face away, and said helplessly: "Jinxiu, do you know that if Qi Hao finds out your identity today, even if your father tries his best, he will definitely not be able to protect you." ”

"Your eldest brother has a cold temperament and is not close to his mother. You are the only person around your mother who can talk intimately. ”

"If something happens to you, what do you want your mother to do?"

With tears in her old eyes, she choked up and said, "Besides, our Gu family is struggling, and so many years of hard work will fall short because of you......"

"Jinxiu, all over the house, Zhulian Nine Clans, have you ever thought about your father and mother, and your eldest brother?"

Gu Jinxiu looked at the eldest lady who was wiping the corners of her eyes, opened her mouth, and was speechless for a long time.

The eldest lady took a deep breath, her face returned to her usual grace and dignity, and said in a hoarse voice: "Get up, don't take an example." ”

Gu Jinxiu sniffed and muttered, "Mother......"

The eldest lady gently stroked Gu Jinxiu's red and swollen face and helped her up.

"Mother, woo woo woo ......" Gu Jinxiu threw herself into the arms of the eldest lady and finally burst into tears.

The eldest lady patted Gu Jinxiu's back, and there was a touch of ruthlessness in her old eyes.

In the Luoxia Garden of Taifu's Mansion, the eldest lady's bed was full of people.

Wei Liao was checking the pulse of the eldest lady, while Mrs. Yin was walking back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back in a distraught manner.

Yin Zike saw Wei Liao frowning, afraid that Mrs. Yin would disturb Wei Liao's pulse, so he pulled his sleeve and whispered: "Father, don't worry too much, with Dr. Wei here, my mother will definitely be fine." ”

Mrs. Yin glared at Yin Zike, pushed his hand away, and sat down angrily.

Yin Suwan stared at the unconscious eldest lady without blinking, looking nervous, for fear of some accident.

Yin Suxi stood next to Yin Suwan, wiping her tears with a handkerchief, and sobbed: "Sister...... Do you think your mother will be okay? ”

I don't know whether to comfort myself or Yin Suxi, Yin Suwan said in a tight voice: "Mother Jiren Tianxiang, don't think nonsense." ”

The second aunt stood in the corner trembling and cowering like a rat crossing the street, even more restless.

First, the eldest lady was stabbed by Yin Penglin, if she really died, then Yin Penglin was the sinner of the entire Yin family!

Even her aunt, who is not very high-status, is estimated to be implicated.

Second, Yin Penglin was beaten to death by Mrs. Yin, and at this time she was also lying half-dead in the Moon Tower, how could she not feel distressed as a mother?

If you want to talk about the reason why Yin Penglin stabbed the eldest lady, it is very embarrassing to say.

In the thirteen days that Yin Penglin became a waste, his temperament became more and more eccentric and weird.

At first, he stuffed himself in the Moon Tower, and he didn't go out of the gate or the second door.

Beating and scolding subordinates and torturing handmaidens is like a little devil.

Probably completely accepting the reality that he was inhumane, Yin Penglin was willing to step out of the Moon Tower in the past few days.

As soon as he got out of the courtyard, he saw Yin Zike standing in the corridor and whispering to the little girl.

I don't know what the mood is, it may be the longing for seeing my sweetheart, or it may be the jealousy of seeing the little guy and Yin Zike close, in short, Yin Penglin strode forward and kicked the little guy to the ground.

Then, he pulled Yin Zike, who hadn't reacted yet, to the back garden.

Coincidentally, the eldest lady came over and saw Yin Penglin forcibly dragging Yin Zike, and she was in a hurry to speak.

The contempt and insult in his words made Yin Penglin feel embarrassed in front of his sweetheart, so he was annoyed and angry, so he directly took out a dagger and gave the eldest lady a knife......

The knife, fast and ruthless, stabbed directly into the chest of the eldest lady.

And because of this knife, Yin Penglin's admiration for Yin Zike also spread all over the house like stabbing window paper in an instant......

After a while, Yin Suwan saw that Wei Liao had finally withdrawn his hand to check the pulse, and hurriedly asked, "Imperial Doctor Wei, how is my mother?" ”

Wei Liao pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Fortunately, there is still a little distance from the heart, otherwise it would ......"

Shaking his head, he said, "When I prescribe a few pairs of medicines to Mrs. Yin, don't worry." ”

After everyone listened, a hanging heart finally fell.
