Chapter 372: Who Sent It
In the Qiu Ju courtyard, Mrs. Liu actually had a big sore on her nose.
The sore came out suddenly, only after she took a nap, as if she had been mischievoked by someone, and it grew next to the wing of her nose.
The reason is nothing other than that, because of the anger and emotional instability that have been too much in recent days.
There is no way, a few days ago, she was bent on revealing Gu Jinli's true face in front of everyone, but she miscalculated again, how could she not be depressed?
In addition, she was angry with Hexiang in the morning, and ate spicy meals at noon to vent, so this anger "puffed" went up and gathered at the nose.
With an ugly and disgusting sore, Mrs. Liu was even more unhappy.
In front of the rhombic mirror, she looked at herself in the mirror, eager to smash the mirror.
He slammed the table angrily, turned his head to the door, and said angrily: "Xueqin, why hasn't the doctor I asked you to find come yet?" ”
"Grinding and chirping, is it possible to wait until the sun goes down?"
The big sore was painful and itchy, but fortunately, Mrs. Liu restrained her desire to scratch it and endured it until now.
"Master, don't worry, the doctor will be here soon!" Xue Qin comforted Mrs. Liu while looking out of the courtyard.
When she saw that the doctor was walking here with a small medicine box not far away, she hurriedly ran over and urged, "Doctor, hurry up!" It's too late, and my master is going to lose his temper! ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" When the doctor heard this, he quickened his pace.
With a casual glance, Xueqin unexpectedly caught the figures of the Eighth Prince and Xiao Xiangzi who were walking towards the Fuyuan Courtyard.
The two figures walked farther and farther, Xueqin stretched her neck and looked, and she could vaguely see Xiao Xiangzi's little eunuch outfit.
"People in the palace?" Confused, she rolled her eyes, she had a count in her heart, and ran back to the room.
When Mrs. Liu saw Xueqin leading the doctor in, she raised her eyebrows and said, "You can't do anything so slowly, even if you eat, you can't catch up with the heat!" ”
Xueqin knew that Mrs. Liu couldn't vent her anger on the doctor, and could only vent her dissatisfaction on herself, so she smiled and said, "The master is angry." ”
Then, she said to the doctor: "Doctor, look at my master's sore." ”
The doctor looked at it and said, "Madame, don't worry, this sore is caused by fire, not a poisonous sore, and it will be fine if I prescribe a few herbs." ”
Mrs. Liu naturally knew that her sores were not poisonous sores, and said impatiently: "Then you should hurry up!" ”
The doctor hurriedly took a pen and wrote the prescription, and Xueqin sent him away after giving him the silver.
Seeing that Xueqin was holding the prescription in her hand and didn't grab the medicine, Mrs. Liu's anger came up again, "What are you doing with the pestle?" Don't go and grab the medicine yet! ”
"Master, guess who the slave saw just now?" Xueqin stepped forward mysteriously and smiled maliciously: "Someone from the palace has come to the Fuyuan Courtyard." ”
"Oh?" When Mrs. Liu heard this, she subconsciously sat up straight, and there was a brilliance in her eyes that could not be hidden: "Who sent it?" ”
"Queen Mother or Queen? Could it be the emperor? ”
"Isn't it, Gu's identity as a slut has been exposed? The people in the palace are going to ask the teacher for sin? ”
Without waiting for Xueqin to answer, Mrs. Liu asked one question after another.
Xueqin understood Mrs. Liu's anxious mood, and said in a low voice: "Master, the slave doesn't know who sent it, but I only saw a little eunuch." ”
"There is also a man, slender, a little thin, not as tall as the prince."
Mrs. Liu pondered Xueqin's words carefully, searching for such a person in her mind.
"The Eighth Prince!" patted her leg, and Mrs. Liu stiffened her neck, "Quick, go and find out, if it's the Eighth Prince!" ”
"If it's really the Eighth Prince, then you can tell Fen'er to let her ......"
The "Fen'er" in Mrs. Liu's mouth is the maid who exposed Qi Hao's call "Lin Sheng" as "Ah Gu" earlier.
She accepted a bracelet from Mrs. Liu, and under the coercion and temptation of Mrs. Liu, she became an eyeliner that Mrs. Liu placed in the Fuyuan Courtyard.
It's been so long, and I haven't really explained anything to her, but this is a great opportunity for her to show her own value!
"Master, this is the Eighth Prince, if you let the queen and the prince know that you are stabbing the Eighth Prince, you have to cut us!" When Xueqin heard this, her body trembled three times in shock.
Mrs. Liu snorted coldly, rolled her eyes and said, "The thing was done by Fen'er, what does it have to do with us?" ”
"Even if Fen'er confesses us, it's useless for her to have my bracelet in her hand."
"After all, there's no proof that the bracelet is mine."
"If she insists that it is ours, we can also frame her for stealing it."
"However, as long as you get involved with us, the prince will always suspect us."
"So, this Fen'er can't be kept."
"Yes, slaves know what to do." Mrs. Liu's last sentence, Xueqin instantly understood in seconds.
Only the dead are the most faithful and reliable.
With that, Xueqin quickly went to the Fuyuan Temple.
In the Hibiscus Courtyard, Gu Jinli sat at the table and looked through the medical books.
She couldn't touch the piano with her fingers for at least three days, so she had nothing to do but read a book.
Ah Qiao and Aiyue made autumn clothes for Gu Jinli together in the house, and Hexiang accompanied Xiao Hei, who had eaten at noon, for a walk in the courtyard.
Suddenly, I saw two more figures in the courtyard, and Hexiang and Xiao Hei stopped.
Two years ago, Hexiang had met the Eighth Prince and Xiao Xiangzi.
Although the facial features of the eighth prince have grown, faded away from the immaturity of the year, and exude a noble and alienated atmosphere that is different from that of the year, judging from the eyebrows and facial contours, it is still recognizable to Hexiang at a glance.
"The slave has seen the Eighth Prince." Not knowing the purpose of the Eighth Prince's sudden visit, Hexiang hurriedly raised her voice and saluted loudly.
In the room, Ai Yuehe, who was sitting on the bed threading needles, glanced at Ah Qiao, and then looked at Gu Jinli in unison.
Gu Jinli heard the movement outside, put down the book in her hand, turned her head to look out the window, and saw the young man in red at a glance.
The young man also felt a gaze from the window, and the hand behind his back tightened, and a layer of fine sweat appeared in his palm.
Under his feet, it was as if he had taken root and sprouted, and he felt that his legs were heavy and he could not move.
And the person who has been haunted by his dreams for two years is close at hand at this moment.
Even though her appearance has changed, her eyes are still clear, but there is an extra layer of defense.
Also, she came back in disguise with her identity deliberately, he came uninvited, how could she not be vigilant?
Seeing that the Eighth Prince had not reacted for a long time, Hexiang secretly raised his eyes to look at his expression, and said suspiciously: "The Eighth Prince? ”
Seeing that Gu Jinli had already stood up from the chair, as if he was about to go out to greet him, the eighth prince withdrew his gaze and waved his hand to Hexiang: "No courtesy." ”
"I don't know that the Eighth Prince is visiting, Lin Sheng is not welcome, and I hope that the Eighth Prince will forgive his sins." Gu Jinli didn't know the intention of the Eighth Prince, so she could only do a good job of face first.
Behind him, Ah Qiao and Aiyue also saluted in unison: "Slave maid to the eighth prince to say goodbye." ”
The Eighth Prince looked at this "Lin Sheng" with a shallow smile on his face, his throat rolled a few times, but the thousand words in his heart were blocked in his throat.
"Hmm", he didn't know what to say to her.
That day, he asked Xiao Xiangzi to check her identity, and secretly decided in his heart that when it was confirmed that it was her, he would no longer hide his feelings for her.
However, when he did see her, he seemed to be speechless.
Seeing this, Gu Jinli felt that the Eighth Prince's attitude was a little strange.
Stretching out her hand, she invited the Eighth Prince into the house, and did not forget to tell Aiyue to serve tea.
Xueqin, who was hiding in the shadows, pinched Fen'er's arm, and Fen'er followed Aiyue to the kitchen while everyone was not paying attention.
