Gu Nian received the news on the morning of the third day, and the maid in Concubine Ji's courtyard came over and asked Gu Nian to pass, saying that the original spreader of the rumor had found it.

Let Gu Nian go and watch the interrogation together.

When Gu Nian took the astragalus to Concubine Ji's mountain and moon residence, Cai'er was kneeling on the ground, her face was pale, and her body was shaking like sifting chaff.

Concubine Ji sat on the top, saw Gu Nian coming in, slapped the table heavily, and shouted, "Until now, you are still stubborn, looking at me, I can't do anything about you?" ”

"I have the means to make you speak, but for the sake of your family being a slave for generations, I will tell you politely now that you can spare your family if you confess."

"If you really want to wait for me to ask, your whole family will follow you and walk around without eating."

Cai'er's face turned gray-black, fear made every bone tremble, she opened her mouth, but she couldn't say anything, her face was white and transparent.

"Mama Tian, take her down to be tortured, let the backyard from the steward to the rough envoy come to watch the punishment, I see how long she can be hard-mouthed, and then sell her old son and mother to Yantian."

Concubine Ji commanded coldly, just a minion, can she still clean it up?

"Don't." Cai'er is terrified, only the minions who have made a big mistake will be sold to the salt pans to work as coolies, and they will never think of it for the rest of their lives, so they can only die there.

Concubine Ji raised her eyelids, "Don't want to hurt your family?" Then how do you have the courage to pass on the tongue of the prince? ”

Cai'er, who was cold all over her body, broke down and cried, "Concubine, the slave doesn't want to, it was Mama Yu beside the cousin who asked the slave to do this, and the matter was also what she said to the slave and the maid." ”

When Concubine Ji heard this, she tightened her hands, her eyes were sensitive, and a teacup smashed over, "Dog minion, do you still dare to climb?" ”

Cai'er cried breathlessly, and pointed to a grandmother behind Ji Yu and said, "Concubine, it's really not a slave, it's Mama Yu who said that the princess has just entered the mansion, and she must not know such a thing, and if she knows, she will definitely have an awkward relationship with the prince, and at that time, the cousin will have a chance to get close to the prince." ”

Ji Yu also followed Cai'er to Shanyueju when she was arrested, and when she heard Cai'er say, she was stunned, and the mama behind her had her pupils shrunk.

Cai'er's voice was terrible, and she glared at Mama Yu with hatred, "Mama Yu, you are hiding there, but you are saying something, did you tell me to let me do this." She turned to Concubine Ji, "What the slave said is true, otherwise let the slave and maid thunder and thunder, and it will not be good to die." “”

Mama Yu fell to her knees with a 'plop' and shouted loudly, "Concubine Mingjian, the slave and maid are not." ”

She hated to strangle this thing that was not enough to achieve and more to lose.

Ji Yu also flatly denied it, "Auntie, it is impossible for Mama Yu to do such a thing." You know. ”

Concubine Ji nodded, "Aunt understands." She stared at Cai'er and said angrily, "Drag it out, gather all the subordinates over, tear off your pants and hit the board, there are two crimes, one is to spread rumors and cause trouble to people's hearts." The second is to die without repentance, climb indiscriminately, and increase the sin by one degree. ”

Some maids and wives in the house have already suffered from their homework, and their mouths are still swollen.

Gu Nian glanced at Ji Yu vaguely, and saw that she frowned, wanting to speak, but stopped talking.

Gu Nian didn't think about really finding out the real rumor-monger, who the rumor started, she didn't care, what she wanted was to stop this trend in time, cut off it before it led to more rumors, and at the same time expressed her attitude.

Let the other party know that it is not that he does not know what happened back then, but since Xiao Yue has admitted it, he will no longer pursue it now. But it is absolutely intolerable that someone will again make something out of nothing.

Now, her goal has basically been achieved.

In fact, Xiao Yue returns home every day, and he won't know what happened in the house, but since Gu Nian is kind and doesn't want her to know, then he pretends not to know.

In this way, you can get more benefits on the bed at night.

From Cai'er being beaten to her family being sold, no one dared to mention half a sentence from the girl's mother-in-law, and the entire Jin Wangfu completely stopped.

On this day, Gu Nian went to Suwang's Mansion to see the progress of the repair, and before he reached Suiyuan Hall, he met Ji Yu.

She didn't pay attention, nodded her head as a greeting, and continued in the direction of the courtyard.

Ji Yu came in front of her and greeted her, "Princess." ”

Gu Nian was surprised and said, "Miss Ji is waiting for me?" ”

"Yes, because I have something to say to the princess, so I am waiting here."

"Then why don't you go to Suiyuan Hall and wait? It's so cold outside, how can it be good if it's freezing Miss Ji? ”

"I went to Suiyuan Hall for fear that the princess would misunderstand, so I simply waited here."

Misunderstand?

Gu Nian raised his eyebrows and did not speak.

Ji Yu said, "Princess, let's talk and go." ”

Gu Nian nodded.

The two walked forward side by side like this, and Ji Yu glanced at the people behind him, meaning that it was best to keep these subordinates away.

Gu Nian also had Astragalus and Ah Jing behind him, "It's okay, the people around me have very strict mouths." ”

When she said this, Ji Yu didn't force it, and went straight to the point.

"Waiting for the princess here today, I actually want to explain."

"My aunt once wanted to marry me to my cousin as a wife, but later the emperor issued a decree for marriage, and my aunt wanted to retreat and let my cousin take me as a concubine."

"However, I don't have such thoughts, and I ask the princess not to blame my aunt, as for Cai'er saying that what she did was indicated by my grandmother next to me, I also interrogated it, and it wasn't Mama Yu who did it, and I asked the princess not to listen to Cai'er's nonsense."

Gu Nian said 'oh', "So you are waiting for me here, just because you are afraid that you will meet the prince when you go to Suiyuan Hall, so that I will misunderstand that you are close to the prince?" ”

"Exactly."

Gu Nian chuckled, "Miss Ji, you think too much, I don't care." ”

She replied quickly, her tone was natural and relaxed, and her demeanor was free.

Ji Yu stopped, subconsciously glanced at her, and then said with a smile, "That's good, I'm afraid that the princess will misunderstand me and affect the relationship between you and the prince." ”

"How so?" Gu Nian said.

"There are only a thousand years of thieves, there is no thousand years of thieves, if a man can't control his lower body, no matter how strict his wife is, he will still loosen his belt."

"If the prince can't even pass your level, then it's not worth my kindness to him."

"I'm sure the prince won't let me down."

"So, you're really overthinking."

Ji Yu has been in the palace for so many years, if he really had thoughts about Ji Yu, he would have nothing to do with himself for a long time.

He has been in his twenties in recent years, some of them got married early, and their children were already running all over the ground, if Xiao Yue really wanted to look at someone, he would have been married a long time ago.

Gu Nian thought about this very clearly.

Ji Yu frowned, was silent for a moment, and then said slowly, "Doesn't the princess like the princess?" ”

Otherwise, she would have been unable to tolerate her.

Gu Nian glanced at her and said with a smile, "I don't have to worry about the matter between me and the prince, so I don't have to worry about Miss Ji." ”

This is not something that she should ask as an outsider.

The place where the two stopped was a fork in the road, one side was to go to Suiyuan Hall, and the other was to return to the mountain and moon residence.

Ji Yu still wanted to say something, Gu Nian said, "If I finish speaking, I will go back to Suiyuan Hall first, Miss Ji will also be in the mountain and moon residence soon, it's cold outside, don't freeze." ”

After speaking, he will not go in the direction of Suiyuantang.

Ji Yu was stunned, but still stopped her, "Princess, please listen to me again." ”

Gu Nian frowned and turned around, "What else does Miss Ji want to say?" ”

Ji Yu sighed lightly and said, "Although my cousin doesn't live much in the palace, according to my understanding, he is a very good person, and there are countless people outside who want to marry him, and the princess should still cherish her cousin." ”

Gu Nian looked at her, "I know." With that, he turned around and walked away, without stopping for a moment.

Ji Yu looked at her back as she left and didn't move for a long time.

The maid behind her said indignantly, "Girl, why are you persuading her, it's really hypocritical, what do you say to believe the prince." When the prince really accepted the side concubine into the door, she didn't know where to hide and cry. “

Ji Yu glanced at her and said, "If you say a few words, do you want to be like Cai'er?" ”

When the maid thought of Cai'er's final fate, she pursed her lips and helped Ji Yu back to Shanyueju.

*

In Shanyue Curie, Concubine Ji leaned on the couch, and a maid half-knelt on the footrest to help her beat her legs.

Concubine Ji sighed and asked, "Biru, do you think I'm too partial." ”

knew that it was a man-made thing around Ji Yu, but for the sake of Ji Yu's face, he didn't find out, but ordered Cai'er's board.

"yes. The concubine is indeed eccentric. ”

Concubine Ji froze, only listening to Nianru continue, "However, this is also not to blame the concubine's partiality. Miss Sleep Table is painful and lovely. ”

"If you change to a slave, the slave must be much more partial than you."

Eccentricity is normal, but it is not wrong not to be eccentric.

Biru's words are very good, and they also speak to Concubine Ji's heart, although the prince is the prince, but he has been with the concubine for a few days, and he is a man.

But Ji Yu is different, she has been with her for so many years, and she originally said that she would marry the prince, but because of a holy decree, she was in vain.

Who is more pitiful? Who is more innocent? If it is rumored that Ji Yu's grandmother is a long-tongued woman at this time, even if the grandmother is a subordinate, the person who said that she is close will still have to weigh it, who knows if Ji Yu has learned the bad habits of grandmother?

Concubine Ji pondered for a long time, sighed, as if she had fallen into some kind of thought, she said, "I don't know why, as soon as I saw him, I hated him in my heart, so I hugged Yu'er and raised it, sure enough, my daughter is my mother's little padded jacket, who knows." ”

Concubine Ji closed her eyes slightly, Biru stopped, and saw that Concubine Ji's face was very gray, she had been waiting in the main courtyard since she was five years old, and she knew this concubine very well.

So, she explained, "Don't be angry, concubine, in fact, you can't blame Miss Cousin, it's really Mama Yu who doesn't know what to do." ”

"My cousin is soft-hearted, so naturally she can't see that her grandmother, who has been taking care of her since she was a child, has something to do, so she won't intercede with Cai'er that day."

Yes, that's it, although she loves Yu'er, in the end, it is still Mama Yu who has been with her for a long time, and Mama Yu is used to relying on the old and selling the old.

Concubine Ji's eyes lit up, "Mama Yu is a foolish person, but fortunately, she is loyal to Yu'er, Biru, you are a good one, are you willing to go to Yu'er's side?" ”“

Biru lowered her eyes and said, "The slave maid is the concubine's person, so naturally she listens to the concubine's arrangement." ”

Concubine Ji thought about it and shook her head slowly, "You are too young, I'm afraid you can't shake Mama Yu's old goods." ”

"Forget it, the next time I enter the palace, I will go to the Queen Mother to ask for a grandmother in the palace and teach Ji Yu etiquette rules.

Serve Concubine Ji well, Biru lifted the curtain and went out.

She looked at the gloomy weather outside, and Dark Xiang was fortunate that she was improvised, leading the conflict to Mama Yu. Otherwise, if the old lady is so short-sighted, she will definitely be unlucky for the princess and princess at that time.

Biru is already seventeen years old, and at most she can wait for the concubine for another year or two, and then she will be released to match someone.

The mansion will be the world of the prince and the princess in the future, to put it mildly, Concubine Ji is about to die, and her good days are still very long.

At this time, she showed favor to the princess, and in the future, the princess will not be able to talk about her indiscriminate matching.

Concubine Ji on the couch was groggy, as if she had seen Xiao Yue when she was born, small, her face was red and wrinkled, crying like a kitten, the imperial doctor said that because he stayed in the stomach for too long, he might not be able to support him in the future.

The pain when she gave birth to a child has always remained, and she has to wake up every time she dreams back in the middle of the night, and with every pain, she hates the child once.

Why did she hate him so much? Is it because the doctor said she couldn't give birth in the future, or what? She couldn't tell why she hated him.

Obviously, it was the child she had been looking forward to, and the child who landed safely, and she was willing to pay anything for him, but why did she hate him? She always felt that the evil obstacle had robbed something, so she hated him when she saw him.

The more Concubine Ji thought about it, the more she had a headache, and sure enough, when she thought of that evil obstacle, her head hurt, and she should have said that he was locked in a cage. Keep it far away, so that it won't appear in front of her.

Concubine Ji buckled the edge of the couch, her nails were pressed and deformed, and even the index finger of her right hand was directly cracked. She didn't realize it.

*

After Gu Nian and Ji Yu finished speaking, they went back to Suiyuan Hall, Xiao Yue had not returned, she went to the clean room to wash first, and then took out the layout plan of King Su's Mansion, although now only Gu Shi'an lives alone, it is difficult to guarantee that he will continue to play in the future, maybe there will be children.

She drew some marks on the layout plan, preparing to be sent over there tomorrow for the repair of the steward, Xiao Yue strode in from the outside, saw her buried in the drawing, first changed out of the outer coat, sat on the side, hugged her waist,

"Why is my lady so powerful? I heard that you told people that you were relieved of me? There was a glint in his eyes.

Gu Nian glanced at him, thought about it, and when he was talking to Ji Yu, only Astragalus and Ah Jing were there, that painting was definitely not what Ji Yu said to her, could it be that these two girls with their elbows turned up?

Gu Nian ignored him, slapped his hand away, and wanted to stand up, but he smiled brightly, but there was a bit of jealousy hidden in his tone, "Are you so relieved of me?" Aren't you nervous at all that I'm going to mess around outside? ”

"Do you like your cousin? So I don't care if I have another woman? ”

He really lost his image like this, Gu Nian looked at him quietly, and suddenly laughed out loud, "I won't tell you." ”

Xiao Yue let go of her in frustration, Gu Nian walked to the wardrobe and took out a set of purple begonia brocade robes, "The clothes are ready, do you want to give it a try?" ”

"Yes." Xiao Yue immediately stood up and smiled.

Gu Nian shook her head and helped him get dressed together, during this period of time, her ears and temples were grinding, so that she could easily grasp his emotions, and at this moment, she felt a faint apprehension and uneasiness in his heart.

She whispered, "It's not that I don't care about you, it's because you once expressed your determination in front of both your grandmother and father, so I must believe in you with all my heart." ”

"Do you still want me to ask questions? Treat you like a thief? ”

"I don't worry, it's because I trust you."

"Also, next time you are not allowed to talk about your cousin, now that I am your wife, since I have promised you this life, then life and death will follow, I will do what I say, you don't believe me?"

Xiao Yue grabbed her hand, dragged her into his arms, and pressed her head to his chest, this action was skillful as if he had done it thousands of times, and said,

"Nian Nian, you are a beautiful and wonderful existence for me, you have given me the feelings that I desire and urgently need, this time of beauty is too unreal, so I will be afraid in my heart."

"I'm afraid it's just a daze, and you'll be gone when you wake up."

Gu Nian looked up at him and said with a smile, "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, who is not afraid of heaven and earth, will also be afraid?" ”

She pinched his cheek, "It's true, it's not a dream, you don't have to be afraid that I will leave, if you don't leave, I won't give up, unless you don't need me, otherwise, I will always be with you." ”

Although Xiao Yue has always been soft in front of her, and she is not as hard as she appears on the outside, but his words like this make Gu Nian feel sullen all of a sudden, once the person is provoked, it is really unbearable.

She said softly, "I haven't liked any other man except you......"

Zhang Yiping said that her continuous death may be due to the wrong way of heaven, and she has never met the right person, or thing, or thing.

She clearly felt at the moment that she was just because she didn't meet the right person, and the right person was the man in front of her.

Although Gu Nian's words were very low, how could Xiao Yue's ears not be able to hear clearly, a strange joy surged in his heart, as if he was going to drown him, he lowered his head and kissed it, and only after half a sound did he move away and stroke her red and swollen lips,

"It's me who was wrong, I'm sorry, Niannian, I'm no longer afraid, and I won't think about it."

He thought that he would not have any other feelings at this time, because he had been looking forward to his mother's concerned eyes like that, but in the end, he asked for nothing.

Therefore, he didn't even want to ask for other things, just concentrated on running errands for the emperor.

But now, his heart is full, like soaking in vinegar water, sour and sour, his eyes are soft and about to drip water, and he also said softly and solemnly,

"Niannian, I only like you."

Gu Nian nodded and said, "Let go of me, change this shirt, and wear it tomorrow." ”

Xiao Yue happily went to the back of the screen to change clothes, and Astragalus came in outside, and when he saw Gu Nian's face flushed, he smiled ambiguously.

Gu Nian glared at her, the astragalus in the past was not smiling, but now it is becoming more and more narrow.

However, the words spoken by the promotional astragalus were extremely solemn, and she asked Gu Nian suspiciously, "Princess, have you made any child-avoiding pills by yourself recently?" It's a medicine that is three points poisonous, and it's not good to eat too much of that thing. There is no shortage of medicine in the pharmacy. ”

"Moreover, the poison in your body has limited your possibility of getting pregnant, and now if you take the child-avoiding medicine, even if you find Zhang Chunzi in the future, it will be difficult to recuperate."

Astragalus said with a serious face.

Although Gu Nian has been learning medical skills with Astragalus, she is only half a bucket of water now, although she likes to tinker with various pills, but after she is done, she will give Astragalus a look.

Xiao Yue listened to Astragalus's words and suddenly turned out from behind the screen with his clothes scattered, "Niannian, don't you want our children?" ”

Gu Nian was shocked, "I haven't." ”

How could she not want children? She and Astragalus have studied medicine, so she naturally knows that most of the child avoidance pills contain tiger and wolf medicines, and it is not good for the body to use them.

She knows that she doesn't know when she may be poisoned, so she wants to give Xiao Yue a child as soon as possible, no matter what happens in the future, it is always good to have a child to accompany Xiao Yue.

So, how could she possibly take child-avoiding pills?

Xiao Yue was shocked when he saw Gu Nian's fright, his face sank, and he only heard Astragalus continue, "The princess may not feel it herself, but the slave maid is soaked in the potion, and it is not invaded by a hundred poisons, but the same smell of medicine can't escape my nose." ”

"I didn't feel it at first, but now the smell of safflower on your body is getting stronger and stronger, and it is mixed with a bit of rhubarb smell."

At first, she thought that it was accidentally contaminated when Gu Nian was tinkering with the medicine, but these days it is getting stronger and stronger, especially just now, so she asked suspiciously.

Xiao Yue said in a deep voice, "Who made your soup these days?" ”

Gu Nian hurriedly said, "Although the concubine has sent someone to come over to wait, but the important places are still my own people, and the kitchen from the cook to the fire girl is my dowry, there will be no problem." ”

She frowned, and her expression couldn't help but feel a little defeated, "I thought I would manage Suiyuantang very well, but I didn't expect such a mistake." ”

Astragalus said on the side, "It may not be food, but something else." ”

She walked around the room and shook her head again, "There is no smell of medicine in the room." ”

But what went wrong?

Xiao Yue thought for a while and said, "You go and ask someone to pack all your recent dishes and chopsticks, don't move too much, just come to the inner room and let Astragalus see if it's a problem with the dishes and chopsticks." ”

When Huang Qi heard this, he also suddenly realized, "Yes, two days ago, didn't the concubine say that the palace rewarded two sets of porcelain, which looked very good and was very suitable for the princess, so I asked people to send them over." ”

Xiao Yue pursed his lips, his eyes were full of slaughter, and he was about to go out when he raised his feet, but Gu Nian hurriedly stopped him.

"Let's wait for Astragalus to see those dishes and chopsticks first."
