228, unexpected
"Stop, where are you going?" The eldest princess of Changning walked in from the outside with a calm face, followed by Mrs. Mo.
Young Master Mo looked at the housekeeper, only to see that the housekeeper was unnatural, and whispered, "The princess that the old slave asked people to call." ”
"There's something wrong with this letter, why are you going?" The eldest princess of Changning scolded.
Since Master Mo's entourage had already reported that the person who delivered the letter had been robbed, it was impossible for the fourth prince to know so quickly, and it was impossible for him to send another letter right away.
It's not that Young Master Mo doesn't know that there is a problem with this letter, but he has to go, because there is also a half chance that it is really a letter sent by the Fourth Prince.
"At this juncture, there is no other way out, and my grandson always has to give it a try." Young Master Mo said seriously.
The eldest princess of Changning's eyes were deep, and she stared at Young Master Mo fixedly for a while before she said, "This is very risky." ”
"Since you already want to reap the benefits of the fisherman, let's wait until it's a little more messy."
Young Master Mo smiled and said, "Grandmother, there is no way to do it now, if it is really the emperor who robs the letter today, soon, if we don't move, the emperor will also move......"
"When the time comes, it will fall behind."
The eldest princess of Changning fell silent, "What is in grandmother's hand, you should know that the water is not muddy enough now, you don't want to cut off the way back, but you should make the water even more muddy." ”
"The Four Princes and you were just using each other at the beginning, so you don't need to risk your life for him.
Now, it is in our hands that we hold more, and the fourth prince is just a 'dead' person, and he still depends on us to do things. You can stay at home with peace of mind, and you don't have to worry about the four princes anymore! ”
Young Master Mo's face immediately turned ugly, "Grandmother, isn't this treachery?" How is this different from what happened to my grandfather? ”
"Why are we getting involved with the four princes, don't we just want to avenge our grandfather? Why? ”
The eldest princess of Changning did not have any impact at all because of being questioned, and still said, "Butler, don't let him go out, from now on, everything will be subject to my scheduling." ”
The housekeeper has followed the eldest princess of Changning for a lifetime, and naturally listened to her orders, so he immediately sent someone to look at the young master Mo and prevent him from going out.
Young Master Mo watched the eldest princess of Changning resolutely go, holding her head and sitting in the circle chair, grandmother locked him up, thinking that there was a way out?
The road ahead is always a cliff.
There is no way to retreat behind him, behind him is the oil pot, the sea of fire, the jackal and the beast, and he will definitely die if he retreats at this time.
……
The third watch has passed, Gu Nian leaned on the head of the bed, looked at the door, Xiao Yue went out after sending the letter from the dark thirteen, and he has not come back yet.
The mind of Gu Nian is apprehensive.
After Dark Thirteen handed over the letter from the Fourth Prince to Young Master Mo, she felt that this might be a good opportunity.
took advantage of the difference in time to lure Young Master Mo out.
Xiao Yue, Gu Shi'an, and Zhou Yuxuan all thought it was a good idea, and immediately asked the secret guard, who had already prepared it and was good at imitation, to prepare another letter and send it to the Mo family.
The location chosen was the courtyard house that had been destroyed in the original City God Temple, and Xiao Yue took people to ambush around.
Now that the three watches have passed, Xiao Yue has not come back, and he doesn't know if he has succeeded.
There was a noise outside the door.
"The princess is asleep?" It was Xiao Yue who was asking Aoba on duty at night.
Gu Nian lifted the quilt and got up from the bed, before the shoes were put on, he saw Xiao Yue walking in from the door, and saw her standing there in single clothes, so he hurriedly stepped forward and pushed her onto the bed and covered the quilt.
"It's almost winter, so be careful about catching a cold. Now it's not just my father-in-law and grandmother looking at me, but I have another mother-in-law......"
It's hard to imagine that people who were so quiet and spoke badly are now talking like this.
Gu Nian looked at him with a smile in her eyes, and only when he covered the quilt without leaking a trace of wind did she speak,
"How? Is someone over there coming? ”
Xiao Yue shook his head and kissed her on the forehead, "No, you go to sleep first, I'll go change into clean clothes." ”
After saying that, he scooped up the robe from the cage and went to the clean room.
It seems that Mo Dashao did not fall into the trap, too, he was able to ambush so deep, and he was so calm, if he didn't seize the opportunity, it would be impossible to lure Mo Dashao out.
When Xiao Yue went to the clean room, Gu Nian called Qingye to come in and asked her to go to the small kitchen to see if there was anything to eat, bring some over, and pad Xiao Yue's stomach.
When Xiao Yue came out of the clean room, Gu Nian put on his robe and sat on the edge of the couch, with a bowl of chicken noodles on the small table on the side.
Seeing this, Xiao Yue didn't rush her to lie on the bed again, but said while eating noodles, "The Mo family's side is now a little stricter than before, and our people wanted to go inside to take a look, but they were all discovered." ”
Gu Nian's brows furrowed, "Then it seems that there has to be another way first." ”
"Don't worry, I've already asked the painter to paint the portrait of the person who delivered the letter, and the thirteenth side has also arranged for people to secretly visit the street where the letter was robbed.
Visiting all the way, you should be able to find the place where the four princes stayed. ”
Gu Nian groaned, "It's not that I'm in a hurry, but if I don't find him out for a day, I won't be at peace for a day." ”
There are many things, not only the matter of the four princes, but also the person who smuggled his mother out of Beijing back then has not been found.
If the purpose of the fourth prince is very clear, the person who hurt his mother, his purpose is not clear!
It's just that the rice must be eaten one bite at a time, and the enemies must be eliminated one by one.
The four princes already have clues here, and they can be found first, except as soon as possible.
She looked out of the dark window, the whole person was solemn than usual, and as she grew older, she gave birth to Xu'er, and there was no childishness between her eyebrows.
Xiao Yue's gaze inadvertently fell on her face, and she couldn't turn away.
"With so many hands sprinkled in, even the rat nest can be found, let alone a big living person." He wiped his mouth with a handkerchief to comfort Gu Nian.
Gu Nian also felt that he was a little impatient, and seeing that Xiao Yue had already eaten all the noodles, he asked his subordinates to come in and put away the dishes and chopsticks, and the two went to bed without mentioning it.
When Gu Nian woke up on the second day, he touched his side, it was already empty, and when he opened his eyes, the sunlight outside shone in front of the bed through the window lattice.
She pulled the bell at the head of the bed, and the lord of Jingning came in first, and then Aoba.
Seeing the county lord of Jingning, she was still a little hazy, and suddenly came to her senses, "Mother, why didn't you wake up your daughter when you came?" ”
The county lord of Jingning said angrily, "Your good husband specially told you not to wake you up before going out, how dare your mother?" ”
Gu Nian's face suddenly turned red, and his heart was sweet and ashamed.
"Aoba said, you were like this when the old lady was there in the past, you ......" The county lord of Jingning sat on the edge of the couch with a doting look and watched her dress.
When the washing was finished, Gu Nian sat down next to the county lord of Jingning, holding her arm and getting tired, "Mother, why did you come here so early?" Xu'er had already gone to the palace yesterday. ”
She thought that the county lord of Jingning had come to see Xu'er.
Lord Jingning nodded her forehead, "It's still so early?" You don't look at what time it is, no one cares about you emotionally, and your son-in-law indulges you again.
I'm sitting at home and having nothing to do, so I'll come and see you. ”
Gu Nian glanced at the county lord of Jingning, and said with a smile, "You have to feel bored at home alone, and you and your father will have another younger brother and sister for your daughter." ”
"In the past, my father refused to continue the strings, and he still wanted to succeed our children, but now you see, we are only one of them. Anyway, you're back, and you and your dad are still young. ”
The eyes of the county lord of Jingning darkened, lowered his eyes, and a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, "Mother is counting on you, you and Yue'er compete for more energy, and have a few more." ”
Gu Nian saw that her words were dim, so she didn't continue, but reached out and touched her veiled face, "Why didn't Bai Feng come with you, is the medicine good?" What happened to the scar on your face? ”
Originally, he wanted to wait for Zhang Chunzi to come back and then help the county lord of Jingning heal the scars on his face, but after Bai Feng saw the county lord of Jingning, he patted his chest and said that she could heal the injuries on the county lord of Jingning's face.
Therefore, her residence was also moved from the Jin Wangfu to the Su Wangfu.
The county lord of Jingning stroked his face through the veil, and said a little worriedly, "Bai Feng is tinkering with those insects, scorpions and scorpions at home, and said that he won't go out with me."
My mother hasn't looked in the mirror for a long time, and I don't know. ”
It's really a bit long for the scar, and she was determined not to go home at that time, and the wound was a little deep.
If it had been treated at that time, it might have been cured, but now after so many years, the wound has long healed, and if you want to recover, where is it so easy?
But she couldn't live up to Bai Feng's kindness.
Besides, it is a surprise that it can really be cured, and if it can't be cured, it will not be disappointed.
Gu Nian said, "My cousin said that Bai Feng's medical skills are very good, you don't dare to look at it, I'll come and see." ”
She reached out to take the veil from the face of the county lord of Jingning, and said curiously, "My father didn't see it?" How could he endure it? ”
The county lord of Jingning didn't speak, Gu Nian only took one side of the veil, and was about to take the other side, when the little maid outside came in in a panic to report,
"Princess, the eldest princess of Changning came to the door with someone menacingly, saying that she wanted to find you for an explanation."
Gu Nian frowned, and his hand was taken back from the ear of the county lord of Jingning, looking for her to explain? What do you want to say?
She said to the county lord of Jingning, "Mother, my daughter is going to take a look, you are waiting for me here." ”
The county lord of Jingning wrapped the veil, stood up and said, "Mother will go with you." ”
Gu Nian knew that the county lord of Jingning was reluctant to see outsiders, so she asked her to wait in Suiyuan Hall, she pointed to the veil, and the county lord of Jingning glared at her, and said,
"People have come to the door to bully you, can my mother sit here with peace of mind? No matter what, I'm your mother, how can I protect you. ”
After saying that, she walked out first.
Gu Nian followed her, no matter why the eldest princess of Changning came to the door, she was not afraid of anything.
It's really nice to have a mother's taste.
Before the mother and daughter arrived at the flower hall where they were entertaining, they heard the voice of the eldest princess of Changning gritting her teeth from a distance, "What about Gu Nian?" Let her get the hell out. ”
There was a little anger in her voice, which was not at all different from the wisdom in the reflection of Gu Nian in the past, the quiet eldest princess of Changning.
The county lord of Jingning patted Gu Nian's hand soothingly, and walked in first, she gave the eldest princess of Changning a salute, "I don't know if the princess has arrived, and she has missed the distance, what is the matter with the princess coming to find Nian Nian today?" ”
The eldest princess of Changning sat at the top, followed by Mrs. Mo and Miss Mo.
Seeing the county lord of Jingning, the eldest princess of Changning snorted coldly, raised her chin, and said, "It's you, it's really rare, it's the first time I've seen you after coming back for so long, right?" ”
She looked at the veil on the face of the county lord of Jingning meaninglessly, and sneered, "Pretending to be a ghost and wearing a veil, how many bad things have you done, and you can't see people?" ”
"It just so happens that you are also here, knowing that you have been staying in the temple and lacking education for your daughter, today, it just so happens that I, an old immortal, will teach your daughter a lesson instead of you."
The county lord of Jingning smiled and asked calmly, "It's my business to do something wrong, and I can't repay you, so I don't need you to care."
I wonder what we have done that we need you to teach you a lesson? I don't have any teachings for Niannian, but my daughter, with the teachings of her grandmother, is so good that no matter what she does, she doesn't need an outsider to teach her! ”
The eldest princess of Changning glanced at the county lord of Jingning contemptuously, "Really? So what kind of enmity does our family have with the daughter who is very good in your eyes, and you want to force her to death like this? ”
Gu Nian stepped into the door and gave the eldest princess of Changning and Mrs. Mo a salute, and then said with a smile, "Your Highness is looking for me?" ”
"You're just in time." The eldest princess of Changning sank her face, "Let me ask you, the rumors outside were spread by you?" ”
I don't know why, rumors? She never does these things, she can do it, she never talks about it.
Moreover, she didn't know what rumors the eldest princess of Changning was talking about.
She replied, "I haven't been out for a few days, and I really don't know what rumors are out there, so why don't Your Highness make it clear?" ”
"It's about our Xun'er having a holiday with Bai Feng in the palace."
"You pretended to be confused with me, saying that the rumors came out of you, if you don't give our Mo family an explanation today, make amends to us, and clarify this matter to the outside world, you don't blame me for putting the elders' score."
The eldest princess of Changning looked at Gu Nian with a calm face.
"What else is going on with your girl in the palace? Does she mean that she wronged Bai Feng for pushing her into the water, or did she bring me tea to make amends? Or maybe the poison in my teacup has something to do with your family? ”
"These are clearly facts, why did they become rumors? Was it that all the people present that day were blind? ”
Gu Nian sat diagonally opposite the eldest princess of Changning and looked at her coldly.
The eldest princess of Changning was furious, "Less blood, how can the poison in your tea cup be related to our family?" ”
"Why isn't it closed? If it weren't for the girl in your family who wronged Bai Feng, if it weren't for Mrs. Mo's calf protector and a bet with me, would there be a matter of serving tea to make amends? Will it give those bad guys a chance?
Isn't this about your family?
It's true that you're an elder, but why are you embarrassed to come to the door? If it were me, I would have locked up the troublesome daughter a long time ago. Will it still be released to disgusting people? ”
"Although it is said that it is said that the Zhongyi Wangfu did it, isn't the Zhongyi King called Qu? I'm helping to find out the real murderer.
When the time comes, we will know who did it......"
The eldest princess of Changning pointed at her angrily, and when Mrs. Mo saw this, she stepped forward, "The princess is angry, blame us for protecting the daughter, and didn't make it clear." ”
"It was early this morning, and the people of the princess's mansion went out to buy, and when they came back, they said that there were some rumors on the street that were not good for my girl."
"Your Highness interrogated, this rumor is said to have spread from your mansion, so we would like to ask what is the origin of these rumors."
"How did it fall on our Kaoru'er's head?"
"If the princess knows, it would be good to give us a clear word. Let's go to the right Lord to settle the score. ”
Mrs. Mo said the words without being humble or arrogant, neither angry nor annoyed, very calm, with the meaning of settling accounts and protecting her daughter.
Gu Nian glanced at Mrs. Mo, who was judging the two of them in the palace that day, and said, "Not only did I not say this, but it was not said by anyone in our palace. ”
The eldest princess of Changning shook her eyes coldly, "Who are you if it's not you?" ”
The lord of Jingning said, "The princess is so funny, you ask us, how do we know?" ”
"Although I didn't go to the Mid-Autumn Festival last time, I know what happened at that time.
The cause of the incident was your girl and the horse girl, and our family was the victim. Until now, my daughter is too scared to go out. ”
Although we are soft-spoken, we cannot allow our children to be wronged for no reason.
Your Highness is in a hurry for your great-granddaughter, I can understand that.
It's just that if the prince of our family and my mother go to the top for the sake of longing, then please ask Your Highness to endure it. ”
The eldest princess of Changning's face changed slightly, looked at the county lord of Jingning without saying a word, and said, "Don't talk about this and that here, if it's not what you said, you go and find out the person who said it." ”
The county lord of Jingning protected Gu Nian and sneered, "We don't owe you anything, why should we find out the people?" ”
"Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if we say that? Did we say something wrong? Have you wronged her?
Since it is the truth, what can not be said? ”
"The people of your Mo family are really good, everything has been done, and you are still afraid of what people say? really responded to that sentence, not only want to be a watch, but also to set up a memorial arch. ”
The county lord of Jingning slapped it on the table, and with a 'snap', his face was already full of frost when he spoke.
The whole room was shocked by her words!
Gu Nian looked at the county lord of Jingning with admiration on her face, this is how her father was attracted to her mother back then, a smile appeared on her lips.
What Miss Mo did in the palace that day, they should have been prepared for the leakage of the rumors, but the Wupin officials and family members were present that day, and now they don't close the door to hurry up and deal with the aftermath.
Instead, he came to the door to find trouble with them, and wanted to force Gu Nian to come forward to help clarify, but Bai Feng's grievances at that time had not yet come to Miss Mo to come back.
They are not something that a cat or a dog can provoke casually.
Gu Nian was already annoyed because Mo Da Shao fell into the trap, this would be a belly of fire, and he originally wanted to vent it on the body of the eldest princess of Changning.
This will make the words of the county lord of Jingning poisonous and spicy, which makes her feel happy in her heart.
However, she didn't show it on her face.
"Today, you came to the door with such a fierce attitude, pointing your nose and saying that we are spreading rumors and causing trouble, and the people outside don't know what to think.
Your Royal Highness, you are an elder, you should know these things better than us, and you should lead by example, the gate of the Jin Palace's mansion is exhausted, but it is not so good. ”
The eldest princess of Changning was stunned when she heard this.
The grandson was locked up in the mansion by her, temporarily cutting off the connection between him and the fourth prince, and in the palace, it is now impossible to muddy the waters for the time being, and if you want to mess with her, you can only do it outside.
She had already made two preparations and sent a gift to the Marquis of Anyuan's Mansion, and the Marquis of Anyuan's Mansion would also be a good show at that time.
On the Jin King's side, she thought of what happened in the palace that day, and it was impossible to hide what her great-granddaughter did, so she just took advantage of this incident to make a fuss.
She didn't want to do anything, she just wanted to make the momentum bigger, forcing Gu Nian to admit her mistake in desperation, make a loss, and complete her great-granddaughter's reputation, and at the same time, she also did it for outsiders to see.
When the time comes, Gu Nian will come to the door to apologize and clarify, which is also a common way for people on the scene, but whenever the Jin Wangfu still cares about a little affection, after they come to the door, they will generally help cover up and say a few words to the outside world.
But I didn't expect Gu Nian to be so difficult to gnaw this bone, and with the addition of the county lord of Jingning, he was so sparing.
However, anyway, apology is not her ultimate goal, the eldest princess of Changning covered her chest and said, "Since you said that it has nothing to do with you, then forget it."
When the Mo family invites you to come over for tea, I hope you can enjoy it. ”
Having tea at home?
When Gu Nian heard this, he immediately sneered unabashedly.
She was still aggressive just now, but suddenly she softened, there was no cat in it, and her surname was written backwards.
When the time comes, will you ask them to go to tea and give Mo's family face?
Gu Nian lowered her eyes, slowly picked up the teacup, and the eldest princess of Changning changed her appearance again, and said bitterly to the county lord of Jingning,
"Speaking of which, it's been a while since you came back, and I haven't seen you take care of the Su Wangfu, nor do you go out to meet people, the veil on your face is ugly?
What's wrong with you? Why the veil? Your husband has been guarding you for so long, you have to be worthy of him. ”
The eldest princess of Changning's words were clueless, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of her lips, "Jingning, you have served the Buddha for so many years, your body should be clean, this is a good thing, it should be generous, why do you use a veil to cover your ugliness?" Did you do something shady?
Come, let me see what's unclean on your face, so that no one can see it? ”
When the county lord of Jingning heard that 'his body should be clean', his face turned pale. She couldn't help but take a step back, dodging the hand stretched out by the eldest princess of Changning.
Seeing her dodging, the eldest princess of Changning withdrew her hand disappretently, smiled and showed a kind smile, and said, "Shi'an is a good boy, it's a pity." ”
After speaking, she beckoned Mrs. Mo and the others to leave.
"Could it be that His Royal Highness has played enough prestige in the palace today, and he wants to leave?"
The room suddenly remembered this deep shout, and the chaotic room instantly calmed down.
Gu Nian sat on the chair, and the blue and white porcelain bowl on the coffee table next to her was shocked by her slapping the table.
The eldest princess of Changning turned around slowly, looking at Gu Nian with a faint gaze.
"What? Are you trying to stop me today? The eldest princess of Changning asked.
Gu Nian looked back lightly, "Of course you can, I have no opinion, it's just that His Highness cares so much about my mother's face, if you don't let you get your wish, it will be a dereliction of our duty." ”
After speaking, she walked in front of the county lord of Jingning and said softly, "Mother, Your Highness is so curious, we as juniors always have to satisfy her curiosity, right?" ”
The eyes of the county lord of Jingning who were exposed outside, looked at Gu Nian, and bowed slightly.
I saw her raise her hand to remove the veil from below, her hand trembling, trying to calm herself.
The eldest princess of Changning sneered and looked at the mother and daughter, and a strange smile appeared on her well-maintained face, "This palace is waiting to take care of it." ”
It's just that the moment the veil was removed, she looked at the county lord of Jingning like a ghost, and said in a lost voice, "How is it possible?" ”
The scars on the face of the county lord of Jingning have disappeared, and his face is fair and red, as beautiful as a young woman with a flower letter.
Gu Nian was keenly aware of the gaffe of the eldest princess of Changning, and asked urgently, "Your Highness said that it was impossible?" It's hard to ......"
Before she finished speaking, the eldest princess of Changning said in disguise, "Buddha bless, your mother's face has not changed much from before, but it is as beautiful and ......clean as before."
Gu Nian only felt that the eldest princess of Changning had something to say, but she couldn't say what it was for a while.
The eldest princess of Changning said with a cold face, "Can I leave now?" ”
Gu Nian bowed his head and picked up the tea cup to send off the guests.
When the eldest princess of Changning left, Gu Nian smiled and said to the lord of Jingning, "Mother, it was my daughter who was reckless just now, I shouldn't have done that, fortunately, it's already good."
Mother, you are so beautiful......"
The county lord of Jingning touched his face and said with a smile, "Is the scar on his face really healed?" ”
Gu Nian nodded hurriedly, and asked his subordinates to fetch the mirror, "You don't believe it, you can just look in the mirror and know it." ”
The county lord of Jingning's face was not very good, and said, "No need, it's just that after so many years of facing the scarred face, it suddenly got better, and I'm still a little unused to it." ”
"Mother, has the eldest princess of Changning seen your previous appearance? I mean the appearance of a scar on the face......" Gu Nian thought of the gaffe of the eldest princess of Changning, and asked the county lord of Jingning.
The county lord of Jingning shook his head and said, "No, although she was also in Yanzhou in the past, that person didn't let me contact anyone, and after I came back, I have always lived in a simple place, and she should not have seen her." ”
Gu Nian was thoughtful, the gaffe of the eldest princess of Changning couldn't be erased, and just thinking about it, Aoba came in from outside and reported,
"Princess, Mama Su from the princess of the Marquis of Anyuan is here and is waiting outside."
"Mama Su? Come over at this time? Gu Nian only felt that today's things were one after another, Mama Su was the person who served her grandmother closely, and she would not leave easily, she came over at this time, there must be something important.
She hurriedly asked someone to bring Mama Su over, Mama Su was in a bit of a hurry, and after coming over in a hurry, she didn't even have time to see the ceremony, so she said,
"Cousin, Madame somehow was sent back."
Madam? Gu Nian didn't realize who this lady was for a while.
Mama Su explained, "It's the girl's aunt, Mrs. An Yuanhou......"
Gu Nian was taken aback, and Mrs. An Yuanhou ......
This man is on the verge of being forgotten.
How did she come back? At that time, Zhou Yuxuan said that she should go to the family temple in Jinling for ten years, but it was not time yet......
And, being sent back? Sent back by whom?
At that time, Mrs. An Yuanhou said that she was going to the family temple, but in fact, she was sent to another place by Xiao Yue halfway. How was it found?
