The minions of Huaqing Palace didn't have the courage to give Qin Chuyu food indiscriminately.

Empress Xiao looked at the emperor, the emperor was even more unaware of the situation than her, and it seemed that he did not give Qin Chuyu food.

Then there is only one person left.

Queen Xiao bit her lip and didn't speak, walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, silently holding her son who was tormented by abdominal pain into her arms.

The emperor pinched his sore brows and sighed helplessly.

When the emperor returned to Huaqing Palace, it was already very late, Qin Chuyu made a fuss for half a night before falling asleep in Empress Xiao's arms, everyone was still smoking after sleeping, and his mouth was muttering that his father and emperor should not punish his sons, and his sons knew that they were wrong.

Empress Xiao was so distressed that she burst into tears.

"Your Majesty, watch your step." Father-in-law Wei said with a lantern.

The Emperor paused in his steps and walked up the steps.

There was a thin figure standing at the end of the corridor, and he recognized it as Concubine Jing when he got closer, and he said, "It's so late, why doesn't the concubine rest?" ”

Concubine Jing held a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, and her eyes could not hide the look of worry: "I heard that Xiao Qi is sick." ”

The emperor nodded: "Ah, I ate too much at night, and I broke my stomach, and it's no big deal." ”

"Sin." Concubine Jing pinched the Buddha beads and closed her eyes, "I knew that he was full at night, so I wouldn't give him snacks and sour plum juice." ”

The emperor sighed and said, "Don't blame the concubine, the concubine doesn't know what he ate at night, this child is greedy and always wants to eat more, that's why he is so fat." ”

Concubine Jing looked at him and said, "Then I'll pay attention to it in the future." ”

Her eyes were full of guilt, even if the emperor was a little uneasy at first, he was only distressed at this time, and he didn't make her angry when he brought her back.

She is her own concubine, Qin Chuyu is her imperial grandson, what's wrong with her feeding the imperial grandson two mouthfuls of food?

It doesn't mean to trap him, doesn't it hurt him too much?

The emperor said: "The mother's injury has not healed yet, so let's go back and rest early, and when Xiao Qi is well, I will ask him to come to greet you." ”

"Hmm." Concubine Jing nodded.

The emperor went to the imperial study again to review the folds for a while before resting.

I don't know if it's because of too many worries, the emperor didn't sleep very well this night, and in a daze, he seemed to feel someone push open his door.

He couldn't open his eyes, and he tried to summon the palace people, but found that he couldn't make the slightest sound.

He tried to sit up, but he felt that he could not exert his strength, and his whole body seemed to be frozen.

With all his strength, he could only open a small slit in his eyes, and he saw the man slowly walking towards him.

His inability to move gave him the illusion of fish on a chopping board, and the man's proximity unsettled him and made him feel dangerous.

When the man got closer, he found that the man had a dagger in his hand.

The cold light of the dagger stung his eyes.

Who are you?

He desperately tried to ask out loud, but his throat seemed to be completely paralyzed.

He was horrified.

Finally, the man sat down on the edge of his bed, raised his dagger high, and stabbed him in the heart!

At that moment, he saw the other party's face clearly.

"Mother-"

The Emperor screamed and woke up from his sleep.

He was drenched in cold sweat, beads of sweat from the corners of his forehead slipped down in large pieces, his heart beat violently, his breathing was disordered, and his eyes were still filled with horror from nightmares.

Father-in-law Qin got up from the couch, walked to the emperor's side, picked up the bright yellow curtain, and asked worriedly, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" ”

The emperor's face frightened him.

He hurriedly hung the curtain on the hook, went to brighten the wick on the candlestick, and then returned to the bedside and asked, "Your Majesty, where are you unwell?" ”

The emperor sat up, gasping for breath, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and said, "I'm fine, it's just a nightmare." ”

It was ridiculous that he would dream that Concubine Jing would come to kill him.

It is said that there are thoughts and dreams every day, is it because of these few events that I am dissatisfied with Concubine Jing, or is it suspicious?

That's too much of a bastard himself.

Everyone in the world can harm themselves, but Concubine Jing will not.

Gonggong Qin said earnestly: "Your Majesty has been working state affairs recently, and there are many matters in the harem, so I think the pressure is too great. State affairs are inexhaustible, Your Majesty has to take care of your own body, and the slave does not know how many years you can accompany Your Majesty, Your Majesty must cherish it. ”

The emperor said angrily, "How old are you?" Why can't you stay with me for a few years? The surname Qin didn't say that he couldn't accompany the Queen Mother for a few years! ”

The emperor is a long-term person, and Gonggong Wei followed him when he was most down, and he remembered him well in his heart.

Grandpa Wei smiled: "Yes." ”

But I said in my heart, you are really inseparable from the Queen Mother in three sentences now.

A nightmare made the emperor sleepy, and he didn't bother to go to the imperial study, so he asked Gonggong Wei to bring the fold to the dormitory for approval.

Gonggong Wei brought two clever little eunuchs to bring the fold and put it on the desk, and took the lamp for the emperor.

The emperor took a shower, changed into dry clothes, sat down at his desk and began to review the folds.

"You go to sleep." The emperor said to Gonggong Wei.

Father-in-law Wei is not as old as Father-in-law Qin, but he is still a few years older than the emperor, and the emperor listened to his words, worried that he would drag his body down if he was so sloppy again.

How could Gonggong Wei not understand His Majesty's intentions, he smiled and said: "That's what the slave said, Your Majesty, don't go to your heart, the minion is in good health, and the slave is not sleepy at this time." ”

The emperor knew that he would not be able to sleep well even if he was forced to sleep, so he no longer insisted.

After the emperor approved a few excerpts, the palpitations caused by the nightmare finally dissipated a lot, but he still did not feel sleepy, so he continued to review the folds.

After the rainstorm, the number of patients increased again, and the hospital was busy again, and Gu Jiao took two visits, both on the same street.

Gu Jiao came out of the first patient's house, and when she went to the second patient's house, she passed by a chess club.

Generally speaking, the chess club is a relatively quiet place, but this chess club is particularly lively today, full of people inside and out, and the sound of gasping from time to time erupts.

Gu Jiao glanced at her strangely, and since the patient was still waiting, she didn't go in.

There is a huge game going on in the chess club, and the reason for the great momentum is that one of the players is a recently famous scholar from Maoshan.

Maoshan is in his early forties, not a native of the capital, but only traveled to the capital last year, because he played a good chess hand by the Duojia chess club, and even a large family invited him to play.

He is extremely valuable, and all the chess players in the capital are proud to play against him, and if they can win him once or twice, it can almost be touted for several years.

It's a pity that no one has defeated him yet.

The crown princess has a unique chess skill, but unfortunately the two have never played against each other.

In order to be eligible to play against him, he had to spend a lot of money to buy a game or beat all the players in the chess club that day.

The player sitting across from him at the moment belongs to the latter.

It is more appropriate to say that the chess player is not very suitable, and the old beggar.

However, it was such a ragged old beggar who sat in front of the Maoshan monk.

A spectacle of the world.

It is not known whether the onlookers came to see the game or the excitement, but in short, the lobby of the chess players was packed, and there was almost no place to stay.

In a side room, a female official dressed as a commoner said to the crown princess: "A powerful old beggar has come to play against the Maoshan monk, and when the Maoshan monk wins him, he can come to meet the crown princess." ”

"There's no hurry." The crown princess didn't let anyone interrupt their game, "I won't call him until he's done." ”

She's here to find someone to play chess.

I heard that this Maoshan layman is good at chess, and she needs to maintain her level, so she needs to play against players who are skilled in chess.

But to her surprise, in the end, it was the old beggar who won.

The female officer exclaimed, "Won't it? Maoshan Jushi lost! ”

"Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers." The crown princess is strict with herself, but she is not so demanding of others.

The female officer asked, "What about ...... Does the crown princess still have to play against him? ”

"Hmm." The crown princess will not deny the opponent's ability because the other party loses once, nor will she immediately look up to the old beggar because the old beggar won a game, there are always some people in this world who have unusual luck, she still trusts the accumulated fame more over time, "Let him come in and play a few games of chess with the concubine." ”

"Yes!"

The crown princess played a few games of chess with Maoshan Jushi, Maoshan Jushi's chess skills are still good, and the princess did gain something after a game, but there was still a gap with the level of the master in her mind.

However, at present, there are few more exquisite chess skills in Zhaoguo.

"Thank you, sir, I'll come back another day." The crown princess politely said goodbye to the Maoshan monk and left the chess club.

After getting into the carriage, the female official opened the curtain and suddenly said in surprise: "Princess, look! ”

The crown princess took a look, and saw an old beggar squatting at the corner of the street and a girl in Tsing Yi with a small basket on her back.

"Is that her?" The crown princess looked stunned.

"It's him!" The female official thought that the crown princess was talking about the old beggar, so she responded, "He won the Maoshan monk in the chess club just now!" ”

The crown princess didn't speak, she didn't look at the old beggar at all, her eyes were all attracted by Gu Jiao.

The scene she saw in the alley that night stimulated her too much, and now whenever she sees Gu Jiao, she can't help but recall her ambiguous and emotional appearance when she was pressed against the wall by Xiao Liulang.

Her heart fluttered with irritation.

Gu Jiao and the old beggar were playing chess.

Today, the old beggar didn't go down in a mess, he took a game with Gu Jiao very seriously, and Gu Jiao was beaten very badly.

The old beggar laughed: "How is it, little doll? You know how good I am! ”

Gu Jiao's face was so dark that she got up and left.

The old beggar cried out, "Ah—this is leaving?" One more game! ”

Gu Jiao's indifferent face: "Ten taels, only one game." ”

Old beggar: "......"

Tomorrow I have to patronize the business of the chess club?

Gu Jiao took the silver and walked back, and when she passed by the princess's carriage, the princess opened the curtain and called her: "Doctor Gu, please stay." ”

Gu Jiao looked at her lightly, her calm face as if nothing in the world could surprise her.

"Something?" She asked.

The crown princess's attitude towards Gu Jiao is not too surprising, but she is not too acceptable in her heart, after all, she is the crown princess, and she is just a medical girl who doesn't even have a fate.

She suppressed her worries and said calmly: "If Dr. Gu likes to play chess, you can go to the chess club, and you don't have to be with beggars on the road." Dr. Gu is the daughter of the Ding'an Hou Mansion, and she is also a ...... Xiao Zhuangyuan's wife is also a celebrity around the emperor's grandmother, so it's better not to lose her identity when doing things. ”

Gu Jiao asked, "What are you doing?" ”

The female officer said angrily: "How did you speak? My crown princess looks up to you! ”

Gu Jiao said: "I can afford her?" ”

The female officer choked: "You ......"

"Ping'er!" The crown princess frowned slightly at the female official, and the female official who was called Ping'er glared at Gu Jiao coldly, and shut up unwillingly.

The crown princess then said to Gu Jiao with a false expression: "If Miss Gu doesn't dislike it, I can introduce Miss Gu to the chess club, there are several powerful chess clubs in the capital, and the nearby Qinghuan chess club is good." Of course, if Miss Gu wants to be closer to the medical hall, she can go to the Haotian Chess Club. ”

"Not necessarily." Gu Jiao said lightly and left without pretense.

Ping'er said angrily: "Crown Princess, she is too much! Even if you rely on the queen mother's favor, you can't be so ignorant! ”

The crown princess is not angry, she has seen too many pampered and arrogant people, the scenery is not important for a while, the scenery for a lifetime is the ability.

Isn't Gu Jinyu in the limelight in the past? In the end, it only took half a year to fall into the dust, and now people in the capital talk about where she came from, and she is still half amazing and liked?

At most, he relied on a family affair with King Anjun to barely save his respect.

Gu Jinyu is gentle, humble, and knowledgeable.

This Miss Gu's temperament is far worse than Gu Jinyu.

So how long can she be arrogant?
