220, interrogation
Guan Jinghe was locked up in a secluded small courtyard in the palace, eating and drinking normally, as if under house arrest.
When they were still outside the door, they heard Guan Jinghe's voice constantly calling 'Brother Xuan'.
Bai Feng was very angry when he heard this, he stepped forward and pushed open the door, Guan Jinghe was sitting at the end of the bed, wearing only a belly pocket on his body, when he heard the voice, he raised his head, his cheeks were sunken, his eyes were extraordinarily large, and there was a weird and distorted smile on his lips, which made people look uncomfortable.
As if he didn't see them, Guan Jinghe's gaze swept over them, and then moved away, repeating 'Brother Xuan'. ’
Bai Feng took out a small pill from the purse on his waist and walked to Guan Jinghe's side, wanting to stuff it into her mouth.
As soon as Guan Jinghe saw someone approaching, he waved his hands and screamed non-stop, not letting people touch him, "Brother Xuan, help, there are bad people who want to harm me." ”
The subordinates behind Gu Nian hurriedly stepped forward to help Bai Feng trap Guan Jinghe's hands and feet, Bai Feng pinched her chin and stuffed the medicine into her mouth.
"You sluts, you want to kill me and Brother Xuan's children...... Dreaming......" Guan Jinghe pinched his neck, desperately trying to cough out the swallowed pill.
I coughed for a while, but when I saw that I couldn't cough it out, I reached in and picked it again.
Bai Feng stood aside with his hands and said coolly, "The pill will melt when it goes in, and your poison will be solved, so don't pretend." ”
Guan Jinghe laughed wildly as if he hadn't heard it, "You want to break up me and Brother Xuan, dreaming, you can't be separated from us." ”
She stared at Gu Nian and Bai Feng tightly, her eyes were as cruel as a poisonous snake, and her voice became weird and low, and after she finished speaking, she laughed wildly.
With this look, it looked like the antidote hadn't been solved yet, Bai Feng was surprised on the side, "Could it be that she's really crazy?" The madness I took was cured at the sight of the medicine, and it was impossible for it to be like this. ”
"Could it be that you gave the wrong antidote?" Gu Nian asked uncertainly.
When Bai Feng heard this, he immediately jumped to his feet and shouted, "Nian Nian, you also underestimate this girl, this girl is the saint of the Miao people, how could she give the wrong antidote." ”
Gu Nian laughed and said, "I'm sorry, I underestimated the Holy Maiden, but, what did she say?" She lifted her chin and looked at Guan Jinghe.
Bai Feng shook his head, "It only shows that she is really crazy." ”
Gu Nian was thoughtful, maybe it was true, after all, a big girl with yellow flowers was not only taken away from her body, but also looked naked by so many outsiders.
It's hard not to be crazy.
As if confirming the thoughts of the two, Guan Jinghe stopped after laughing wildly, and rushed over with an arrow, wanting to choke Gu Nian's neck, but was blocked by Aoba standing beside Gu Nian.
"You bad woman, it's you, you want to break up me and Brother Xuan, why don't you die? How do you not die? ”
Gu Nian took two steps back and looked at Guan Jinghe, who was crazy, with cold eyes.
She carefully watched Guan Jinghe's every move, watched her scream frantically, looked at her hideous expression, and watched her keep trying to pounce.
She had seen such a situation before, in Concubine Ji.
Bai Feng walked to Guan Jinghe, who was restrained by his subordinates, touched his chin, and walked around twice, "Nian Nian, she must be pretending to be crazy and stupid." ”
Gu Nian stepped forward, grabbed Guan Jinghe's arm hard, and said coldly, "Guan Jinghe, you are enough." ”
Guan Jinghe obediently quieted down, staring at Gu Nian, and after a while, he pounced coldly, and stretched out his hands straight to Gu Nian's neck.
Gu Nian had already taken precautions, and when Guan Jinghe reached out, he grabbed her hand and twisted it hard.
Guan Jinghe not only failed to do so, but was restrained by Gu Nian.
She shouted indiscriminately, "Let go of me, let go of me, you hateful people, even those who are pregnant with children, you will thunder and thunder." ”
Guan Jinghe struggled with all his might, and Aoba on the side wanted to step forward to help, but was stopped by Gu Nian.
Before she gave birth to Xu'er, she learned some physical fitness skills from Astragalus. These years have not fallen, so there is still some hand strength.
She grabbed Guan Jinghe, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she leaned closer and said, "Miss Guan, what's the use of you pretending to be crazy and stupid?" You should know very well why you are like this, you might as well say it early, and you can have a good end. ”
Guan Jinghe's body shook, and in just a moment, she screamed, "Gu Nian, you let go of me, you let me go." ”
Gu Nian firmly grasped Guan Jinghe's hand and looked at Guan Jinghe, Guan Jinghe's gaze dodged.
"No matter how much you pretend to be, don't think that you can fool others by saying a few words of nonsense, even if you strip yourself naked now, it's still not like it."
She let go of Jing Jing and her restrained hand, and Guan Jing and one fell to the ground by surprise.
Guan Jinghe pursed her lips vigorously, her eyes full of resentment.
She was pretending to be crazy, she didn't expect that the design of Zhou Yuxuan would not succeed, but she was designed and gave her body to her uncle.
She is also ashamed, what should she do after she messes up the affairs of Gangchang?
and her aunt, thinking of her seeing Princess Zhongyi's cannibalistic gaze, she unconsciously shuddered.
She hated Gu Nian, hated Bai Feng, hated Zhou Yuxuan, and hated everyone.
But she can only pretend to be crazy, so that she can survive and not be killed by her aunt.
Guan Jinghe raised his head to look at Gu Nian and Bai Feng, his eyes were still resentful, but he didn't have the slightest crazy appearance before.
Bai Feng sighed a few times, "It's okay, I almost lied to me." ”
Gu Nian laughed, Bai Feng's medical skills are very good, and she is also very powerful in using poison, but she has always been protected by her father and brother, and it can be said that she has never seen the sinister world before.
"Miss Guan, you should thank us, if we didn't keep you, probably today next year will be your death day."
"Your aunt's pain really hurts you, but when this happens, she really hates you, and there are many ways to die alone.
You've been with your aunt for so many years, you should have seen her methods of dealing with the affairs of the inner house. ”
"If you want to live, you can only show your usefulness."
Guan Jinghe gritted his teeth and pressed all his anger and resentment in his heart.
She wanted to live.
Her family is far away in Chungju, and it is impossible to take care of her.
She has no one to rely on now, and it is impossible for her uncle-in-law to help her, and the words she deliberately said in the lobby, although they were to save her life, were enough to make him kill herself.
Guan Jinghe closed his eyes, his face was calm, and tears fell, gradually turning into whimper.
Seeing this, Bai Feng shouted, "What are you crying for?" Are you still wronged? ”
Gu Nian watched coldly.
Guan Jinghe kept whimpering for a long time before he stopped, "My life is over, I can't cry anymore?" ”
"I don't even know who to go to, no, I know who to look for, but this revenge can never be avenged. How can I be willing?
You are the ones who started it, and you have swallowed me like a cancer. ”
Her voice was almost out of control, and tears would rain down.
However, no one comforted her.
Bai Feng was a little embarrassed, looked at Gu Nian, and whispered, "It seems that it is really because of us." ”
Gu Nian chuckled lightly and shook his head, who said that Miao women don't care about the life and death of others, the white phoenix in front of her is different, Guan Jinghe lowered her posture, and she immediately softened.
Also, if Bai Feng was like other Miao women, he probably wouldn't have saved Zhou Yuxuan.
"Miss Guan, one play is enough, don't come one after another, you are not tired, we are tired of watching." Gu Nian smiled, his tone mocking.
Guan Jinghe stopped crying suddenly, and the look of horror flashed on her face, but she quickly returned to normal, and said calmly,
"What if I don't get more chips for myself? Speaking of which, Princess Jin, you are really hard-hearted. ”
"How am I, beak, now you can tell me where that flying insect came from." Gu Nian was not in a hurry, sat down in front of Guan Jinghe with a big sting, and asked directly.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Guan Jinghe skimmed his face.
Gu Nian stared at Guan Jinghe, his gaze was like the coldest ice pick in winter, "You think it's okay if you don't say it?" When you were in Izumo Temple, you actually sprinkled incense powder on Xu'er's body, if it wasn't for the speed of dodging, would you have succeeded? ”
Guan Jinghe closed his eyes and stopped looking at her, "What evidence do you have that I did it, I don't know anything." ”
Bai Feng was on the side, and couldn't help but say, "The surname is Guan, if you don't say it, be careful that this girl gives you a good look." ”
Guan Jinghe didn't seem to hear the side, and his head turned to the side.
Bai Feng was annoyed that she dared to design Zhou Yuxuan, if it weren't for Gu Nian's staring at Guan Jinghe, who knows if Brother Xuan was designed by her.
She was annoyed in her heart, and stepped forward and slapped Guan Jing and a few second levels fiercely, she not only used poison well, but also learned martial arts, and her hand strength was not comparable to Gu Nian.
After a few moments, Guan Jinghe's face suddenly swollen.
Guan Jinghe didn't fight back, just stared at Bai Feng coldly, "Phew, you Miao girl, do you think that if you make me like this, he will be with you?" Don't dream.
He will marry any noble girl from Dongli, but he will not marry a poisonous woman from Miao Jiang like you.
Maybe your pores are poisonous, how could he want you? It's disgusting to sleep with a poisonous woman like you. ”
Originally, Bai Feng's heart was on fire because of Zhou Yuxuan's refusal, which would be poked by Guan Jinghe like this, and her eyes were fierce, "Since you are looking for death yourself, you can't blame me." ”
She quickly clicked on Guan Jinghe's body a few times, and then took out a cloth bag embroidered with intricate patterns hanging from her waist, "You say I'm poisonous, I'll let you see my little babies." ”
Guan Jinghe's 'ah' sounded, his eyes widened, with a painful look on his face, he looked at Bai Feng resentfully, and said to Gu Nian,
"You're going to let her do this to me? Do you want to know the truth? ”
She watched in horror as a scorpion crawled out of Bai Feng's cloth bag, black and red, crawling towards her from Bai Feng's hand.
Gu Nian didn't move, just looked at her coldly, without the slightest emotion in his eyes.
If she hadn't dodged quickly that day, how Xu'er would have been hurt, I don't know, when she sprinkled incense powder on Xu'er's body and put flying insects into the incense ash, did she ever have a trace of pity?
Why, then, should she sympathize with her today?
What can be used to repay virtue by repaying grievances with virtue?
Guan Jinghe watched in horror as the poisonous scorpion crawled towards her, soaked with cold sweat all over her body, as if she had just been brought out of the water, and her body kept leaning back.
"Ah...... I say, I say...... Hurry up, get this poisonous scorpion out of the way......"
Bai Feng didn't take the scorpion back, but sent his hand forward a few more points, "Speak quickly, tell the truth, otherwise, this little baby of mine will crawl on top of you, suck your blood dry, crawl into your flesh, eat up your flesh, and finally only a skeleton remains......"
Guan Jinghe looked at the poisonous scorpion, "That flying insect was given to me by my uncle." ”
"We know this, otherwise we wouldn't have left you behind, say something useful, why give it to you? How will it be given to you? What else do you know besides this......
Say everything you know. ”
Gu Nian said coldly on the side.
Bai Feng was not tired, but raised her hand like that, she patted the scorpion, and saw that the scorpion stopped there and did not move, but her head was still facing Guan Jinghe.
Guan Jinghe's face had long been as white as paper, and as she spoke, she looked at the poisonous scorpion cautiously, for fear that she would suddenly come over.
She wanted to escape, but just now, Bai Feng, a slut, clicked a few times on her, and she couldn't move.
"I don't know much, how can my uncle-in-law tell me a lot of things, even my aunt, thinks my uncle-in-law is a loyal and honest husband."
She looked at Gu Nian's face, her face was still expressionless, she couldn't see the slightest fluctuation of emotions, and when she saw the scorpion out of the corner of her eye, she shook her body, lowered her head, and continued,
"When I was in Chungju, I ...... after I met Brother Xuan"
"It's called Zhou Shizi, what Brother Xuan, is Brother Xuan also called by you?" Bai Feng interrupted her mercilessly, a strange smile appeared on her face.
Seeing this, Guan Jinghe hurriedly changed his words, "When I was in Zhongzhou, after I saw Zhou Shizi, I wanted to marry him, but at that time, the vassal king was not allowed to enter Beijing. ”
"My aunt advised me to take a break, but my uncle patted me on the shoulder and said that it wasn't necessarily."
"Later, he asked people to tell me a lot of things about Zhou Shizi, and of course, he also knew who the person in Zhou Shizi's heart was."
Saying this, she lifted her lips and said, "No matter how much you like him, he doesn't like you, but what he likes is the noble Jin princess next to you." ”
She sneered, her voice full of malice.
Bai Feng snorted coldly, his eyes were cold, and the scorpion was a few points closer to her, only a finger's distance from her face.
Guan Jinghe hurriedly hid back and stammered, "Wait...... Wait a minute......"
She gritted her teeth and said, "I said the wrong thing, my uncle-in-law told me a lot, and then asked me to wait patiently, saying that there will be a chance soon."
I didn't understand it at first, but it wasn't long before the emperor decreed that the vassal king should be allowed to enter Beijing. ”
"What did you say?" Gu Nian asked sharply, "You say it again." ”
How could King Zhongyi know that the emperor would order the vassal king to enter Beijing?
There are many princes in Dongli, but most of them are the same as the king of Qijun, who is a prince of peace in the capital, they have a fortune, a title, and an honor, but there is no fief.
And there are only a few vassal kings in Dongli, all of whom were divided by the founding Taizu, such as King Zhongyi, who has stayed in Zhongzhou for several generations.
The reason why the emperor ordered the vassal kings to enter Beijing was because the king of Changqing colluded with the four princes to rebel, and he was afraid that other vassal kings would follow suit, so he summoned the remaining few to Beijing and prepared to withdraw the vassal kings.
Until the will goes down, no one knows, so how did the king of loyalty know?
Whether he buried his eyeliner in the palace or colluded with the four princes, in short, he was already harboring evil intentions.
Gu Nian took a deep breath to calm his heart and motioned for Guan Jinghe to continue.
"I was very happy when I knew, but it was useless to have the opportunity, and I wanted Zhou Shizi to be able to look at me, so I was depressed.
When my husband found out, he called me over and gave me a box with the flying insect inside.
He said that this insect was useful to me, and he also told me how to raise it, but he originally asked me to put the insect on the eldest princess of the protectorate.
But after I saw you, Princess Jin, I was crazy with jealousy, and I used it on your son......"
"Okay." Gu Nian said, "It's getting more and more interesting." ”
"Where did that bug come from, you know?"
Guan Jinghe looked at Gu Nian as if he was looking at an idiot, "How could I know?" I'm just a little woman, how could he tell me? ”
"Then you have been in the Zhongyi Mansion for so many years, and you can be regarded as the favor of the princess, have you ever seen the eldest princess of Changning go to the door of the palace, or rather, the people in the mansion of the eldest princess of Changning have appeared?"
Gu Nian turned to another question.
Guan Jinghe is not a fool, after listening to Gu Nian's words, he immediately understood, "No, at least there is no interaction between masters, and the rest is not something I can know." ”
She thought for a moment and said cautiously, "However, when I lived in the palace, I often saw poor relatives from the palace coming to fight the autumn breeze.
Some relatives don't even know about their aunt, who is the head of the house. Every time, I would go to the palace to stay for a few days and then leave.
The uncle-in-law has a good temper, but he is willing to entertain them, and he also explains that the people in the palace, whether they are masters or subordinates, are not allowed to look down on poor relatives.
No one in the house looked down on those poor relatives, even the aunt was always entertained, but the strange thing was the uncle.
As long as those people come, no matter where they are or what they are doing, they will rush back immediately, hmph, who knows what the hell is going on. ”
In a family, only the eldest son can inherit the family business, and the palace is no exception.
And after so many generations of the Zhongyi Palace, it is normal to have a few poor relatives.
However, it is a bit inconceivable that King Zhongyi can come to receive him like this, regardless of the matter at hand.
Even if the loyal and righteous king is really the same as the face, he is very loyal and takes care of his family, but there is no such thing.
Not to mention, poor relatives who don't even know the head of the house.
"Are they talking about Chungju?"
Guan Jinghe was stunned for a moment, "It doesn't seem to be, I didn't pay much attention to it." ”
Gu Nian nodded and laughed, it was really getting more and more interesting.
Originally, I was just asking about the origin of the bugs, but who would have known that so many more were dug up?
She called Bai Feng and walked out.
Guan Jinghe saw that they were all gone, and shouted loudly behind him, "I told you everything, when did you release me?" ”
Gu Nian paused and looked at her sideways, "From now on, you stay in the house honestly and don't think about leaving, but if you want to die, you can go out." ”
"If you insist on seeking death, no one will stop you, no one cares whether you live or die."
After saying that, she turned around and left with the people.
Guan Jinghe collapsed weakly on the ground, "I curse you, you can't die well." ”
No one paid any attention to her.
……
After leaving from the courtyard where Guan Jinghe was being held, Gu Nian went straight to the courtyard of the eldest princess of the country, and the county lord of Jingning was also there.
"What's wrong?" The eldest princess asked.
Gu Nian hadn't spoken yet, but Bai Feng poured beans into a bamboo tube, and said everything.
The eldest princess of the Protectorate listened to this, and her face slowly became gloomy, "That poor relative, could it be someone from the Mo family?" ”
Gu Nian shook his head, "It's still unknown, but from my aunt's hurried arrival, there must be some kind of connection with the Zhongyi Palace." ”
"My mother stayed in Yanzhou before returning to the capital, which is the territory of the Mo family."
"Our family, have you ever offended Aunt Changning's grandmother?"
The eldest princess shook her head, "There shouldn't be, your aunt and grandmother have been in Yanzhou since she got married, and the Mo family doesn't pay attention to drilling camps in officialdom, but more to leave a good reputation among the literati." ”
"Your aunt's grandmother's husband is still a Confucian, who is respected among the literati."
Gu Nian felt that there must be something in this that he didn't know, or that he didn't pay attention to, and it was impossible for a person to do things for no reason.
Whether you love it or hate it, there is a reason.
Before there is real evidence, she doesn't dare to say that it must be done by the eldest princess of Changning, and she still needs to find solid evidence step by step.
However, now that the matter of the county lord of Cha Jingning and the matter of finding the fourth prince are concentrated on the Mo family, there are enough people, and there are good and bad in terms of difficulty.
Because they handed over the matter of asking Guan Jinghe to Gu Nian and Bai Feng, Xiao Yue and the others didn't pay much attention, but focused on finding the traces of the four princes.
Now that things have come together, it's natural to adjust your thinking.
It's just that I didn't expect that the emperor suddenly made a will at this time to let Xu'er enter the palace to learn from the Confucians.
said that he was talking about accompanying the prince, but who didn't know that the princes were already older, and what he and Xu'er learned was not at the same level at all.
For the emperor's will, everyone can't understand it again.
Xiao Yue also frowned, and Gu Nian was even more reluctant for Xu Er to leave him.
When I went to study in the palace, I couldn't see my son every day, and I had a break for ten days, just like the courtiers.
It would take her ten days to see her son, is this still her own son?
Gu Nian was not happy, she asked Xiao Yue to find the emperor, and Xiao Yue was also driven out by the emperor.
The county lord of Jingning comforted Gu Nian, "Xu'er is now older, it's time to let go, it's not a bad thing to go to the palace, after he enters the palace, the emperor will definitely take care of him."
You can rest assured. ”
Gu Nian felt strange and uncomfortable in her heart, she understood the reason, but she had been in her belly for ten months, and the child she gave birth to with great effort had not been kissed for a few years, and she was about to leave?
The county lord of Jingning glanced at her, and said angrily, "Since this is the case, why don't you have another one?" ”
"When the time comes, if you give birth to a daughter, you can keep it by your side until you are fifteen years old, and you can stay longer if you get married early."
Gu Nian was stunned for a while, and suddenly remembered that Zhang Chunzi should have returned to Beijing a long time ago, why hasn't he come back yet?
Xiao Yueke also took Zhang Chunzi's medicine, there is no antidote, how can they have children?
