362 Breaking the Truth (2nd Watch)
A person can hide his skills, but he can't hide his illness, Gu Jiao gave Concubine Jing a pulse, and found that she was fine except for being a little weak.
In other words, her condition was far from the point where she needed to ask a Yan pharmacist for medicine.
She can't just go to someone to talk to.
Gu Changqing said that the pharmacist had a withdrawn temperament, was a loner, and never interacted with people, except for selling medicine.
So Concubine Jing must have gone to buy medicine today.
Mama Cai brought a plate of freshly cut melons and fruits inside, and Gu Jiao looked at her: "Mama Cai, you don't look very good lately, isn't there anything uncomfortable?" Shall I show you the same? ”
Mama Cai was stunned: "Ah, this ...... This ......"
"Let's see." The emperor said to Mama Cai.
"Huh." Mama Cai looked at Concubine Jing inexplicably, Concubine Jing looked as usual, and Mama Cai had no choice but to walk over and ask Gu Jiao to take her pulse.
To be honest, Mama Cai's recent body is really not very good, and when Gu Jiao saw that she had something wrong and wanted to diagnose her pulse, she was happy in her heart.
Just thinking that Gu Jiao is the queen mother's person, she was a little hesitant, now it's okay, the emperor gave an order.
"Mama Cai is overworked, and her liver has been hot recently."
"It's a little hot, and my mouth and tongue are sores!"
"I'll get you some medicine to eat, and you'll be fine." Gu Jiao turned around and opened the small medicine box, intending to get some bezoar antidote pills, but it didn't.
Are you still picky about patients?
Have a temper with you!
A cold wind blew, and the small medicine box was as quiet as a chicken.
Gu Jiaoba closed the box, coughed lightly, and said, "The medicine is used up, it's okay, I'll prescribe a prescription, and Mama Cai will go up and grab the medicine according to the prescription." ”
Gu Jiao gave a recipe for clearing the fire and handed it to Mama Cai.
Mama Cai looked at the brush words with chickens flying and dogs jumping, and was so frightened that a pair of eyebrows almost defected from her face!
Concubine Jing's henchman Gu Jiao didn't see a few in total, and Gu Jiao didn't dare to say that Concubine Jing didn't ask for medicine for anyone else.
Maybe it's for the Dragon Shadow Guard? Or maybe it's for someone else.
However, there is another possibility behind the medicine, that is, the medicine that Concubine Jing asked for is not necessarily used to treat people, but can also be used to harm people.
Gu Jiao stayed in the nunnery and had a fast meal.
Considering the unknown medicine, Gu Jiao paid special attention when eating, and she was sure that there was no poison in the food.
After eating, Gu Jiao had no intention of leaving, the emperor didn't want to leave Gu Jiao to talk to Concubine Jing, and after a few words of greeting, he walked out of the nunnery with Gu Jiao.
The emperor was delighted.
The little doctor still has him in his heart, and he came to diagnose his mother's pulse for him.
He couldn't hide his smile and looked at Gu Jiao: "I have a box of newly paid tribute ...... there."
Before he finished speaking, Gu Jiao's little face walked away coldly.
Emperor: "......"
Gonggong Wei sneered: "The slave went to send Miss Gu." ”
Just now, Gu Jiao glanced at him, and he felt that Gu Jiao had something to say to him.
The emperor didn't object, and Gonggong Wei followed Gu Jiao in a hurry: "Miss Gu! ”
Gu Jiao looked around vigilantly, made sure that no one was watching, and said to him: "You have to pay special attention to the food and drink in Huaqing Palace recently, don't eat anything sent by anyone outside Huaqing Palace, even if it is sent by the concubine Niangniang." ”
"Why is that?" Gonggong Wei asked puzzled.
"Nothing." Gu Jiaoyun said lightly, "Just in case the assassin will poison His Majesty." ”
Father-in-law Wei smiled dryly: "Do you have to guard against the concubine Niangniang's side?" ”
Gu Jiao said: "She has to be especially guarded against!" ”
Grandpa Wei was stunned.
Gu Jiao said quietly: "She is the most trusted person of Your Majesty, if someone does something in the food she sent, do you say, is it impossible to prevent it?" ”
Gonggong Wei thought of the jujube paste cake sent by the little nun beside Concubine Jing this morning, and His Majesty ate it without saying a word, and he pinched the cold sweat fiercely.
The jujube paste cake is non-toxic, if there is, then isn't Your Majesty......
Gonggong Wei was frightened, and hurriedly promised: "The slave knows, the slave will be on guard, and will never let His Majesty eat anything outside the Huaqing Palace!" ”
Gu Jiao didn't remind her aunt that Concubine Jing's hand was currently not in Renshou Palace.
Gu Jiao said again: "Just pay attention to this matter yourself, don't tell Your Majesty, so as not to cause dissatisfaction." ”
"Slaves understand." Gong Wei said fairly, "The slave arranged for the carriage to send Miss Gu back." ”
"Okay."
Gu Jiao got into the carriage back to Bishui Hutong, and Gonggong Wei turned around and went back to Huaqing Palace.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of Huaqing Palace, he ran into Mama Cai.
Mama Cai also came and greeted him with a smile: "Grandpa Wei! ”
Father-in-law Wei smiled politely: "Mama Cai, did the concubine ask you to come?" Is there something the concubine has to say? ”
Mama Cai handed the food box in her hand forward: "Your Majesty didn't eat much at dinner, and the concubine was worried that the food was not to your Majesty's appetite, so I asked me to send the white fungus soup she made herself to Your Majesty." ”
Gonggong Wei took the food box and said: "The concubine Niangniang has worked hard, and she is still recuperating from her injuries, so don't always cook, Your Majesty should worry about Niangniang when he knows it." ”
Mama Cai sighed: "I said the same too, but the mother didn't listen." Gonggong Wei also knows that there are only two children under Niangniang's knees, His Majesty and Princess Ning'an, Princess Ning'an is married far away, and there is only His Majesty by Niangniang's side, so how can she not be interested in Your Majesty? In the past, the mother lived outside the palace and couldn't help herself, but now that she is back, she wants to make up for the thoughts of His Majesty over the years. ”
Gonggong Wei also sighed: "Having said that, you still have to persuade the concubine to do something." ”
Mama Cai responded: "I know, I will, Grandpa Wei hurry up and bring the white fungus soup to His Majesty, I won't disturb Grandpa Wei, the concubine is still waiting for me to serve." ”
Grandpa Wei nodded: "Mama Cai walks slowly." ”
"Ah, I almost forgot." Mama Cai just walked a few steps, turned back again, took out a bag of silver from her wide sleeve and handed it to Grandpa Wei.
Father-in-law Wei hurriedly raised his hand to block: "What is this!" ”
Mama Cai said: "A little bit of the concubine's heart, Grandpa Wei just accepts it." ”
Father-in-law Wei refused again and again: "Where can I receive the silver of the concubine?" ”
Mama Cai forced it into her arms: "Take it, don't accept it, it's not good for me to go back and give back to the concubine!" ”
After Mama Cai left, Gonggong Wei took the fit to His Majesty's bedroom.
If in the past, he would have given the white fungus soup to His Majesty, but today......
The little miracle doctor's advice flashed in his mind, and he suddenly hesitated.
"Why don't I try it first? Try a poison? ”
Gonggong Wei scooped a spoonful of white fungus soup and tasted it as if he were dead.
After a while, he touched his heart.
He's alive and there are no problems.
This white fungus soup should be able to be eaten by His Majesty, right?
He walked a few steps, sighed, and went to the small kitchen to change a bowl of white fungus soup boiled in Huaqing Palace and sent it to the emperor.
Gu Jiao checked the pulse of Concubine Jing, and confiscated the consultation fee, as a thank you, the emperor asked Gonggong Wei to give Gu Jiao a painting of his own ink treasure the next day-autographed notebook.
The little divine doctor's handwriting was not very beautiful, so the emperor wrote a notebook overnight for the little divine doctor to copy, and stamped the emperor's jade seal on it.
This is much more precious than the original imperial pen, and the emperor thinks that the little divine doctor will definitely like it.
As a result, when the little doctor saw the copybook, his face turned black all of a sudden.
What kind of grievances did the emperor have with her?
Didn't she just give him a face, was it necessary to take revenge on her like this?
Gu Jiao scratched her little head irritably, and slammed her fist on the notebook.
Grandpa Wei was taken aback!
"Sister! We're back! ”
It was Gu Xiaoshun's voice.
Gu Jiao retracted her temper for a second, stood up and walked towards the door.
Gu Xiaoshun jumped down from the carriage with a large bag of things, and Gu Yan also jumped down.
That's right, he can jump now.
This is a newly bought car bought by my aunt and grandfather, and the driver is Gu Yan's dark guard armor.
Behind the carriage of the two, there was another carriage, which looked a little dumbfounded.
A middle-aged man in a gray and white robe got out of the carriage, and then he lifted the curtain and helped a woman in a white tunic skirt out of the carriage.
The woman's posture is graceful, her body is light, and her jade hands are as beautiful as jade carvings.
Her clothes were not gorgeous, and she had a simple bun on her head, and her only headdress was a wooden hairpin.
She wore a veil, revealing only a smooth and full forehead and a pair of calm and wise eyes.
"It's Master and Master." Gu Yan said to Gu Jiao.
This is the first time Gu Jiao has seen the master and mother of her two younger brothers, and she knows that one of them is Master Lu and the other is called Nanxiang.
Master Lu looks relatively ordinary, but Nanxiang is a little amazing, her gestures are full of the atmosphere of a famous lady, but she does not lose the heroic spirit of the children of the rivers and lakes.
The two came to Gu Jiao.
Nan Xiang smiled: "You are the sister of Xiaoshun and Ayan, right?" My name is Nan Xiang. She took Master Lu's hand, "This is my father-in-law, surnamed Lu, if you don't dislike it, just call him Lu Dazhuang." ”
Gu Jiao: "......"
Several people entered the house.
Gu Jiao introduced Master Lu, Nan Xiang and Father-in-law Wei.
"Father-in-law Wei is good." Nan Xiang greeted with a smile.
Father-in-law Wei looked at Nan Xiang, and somehow, he always felt that these eyes were a little familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere.
Yao's and Mama Fang went to the orchard for a walk, they were not at home, Xiao Qingkong also went out to play, and Xiao Liulang and Lao Saijiu worked overtime in Hanlin Yuan and Guozijian.
Gu Jiao invited people to the hall.
The big bags and small bags in Gu Xiaoshun's hands were given by Master Lu and Nanxiang, Gu Jiao has lived two lives, and she has only seen students give gifts to teachers, and the first time she saw teachers give them to students.
Gu Xiaoshun sat beside Nan Xiang.
Nan Xiang smiled at Gu Jiao and said, "I can't hide it, I came this time to discuss something with Miss Gu." ”
"What's the matter?" Gu Jiao asked.
Nan Xiang touched Gu Xiaoshun's head: "I like Xiaoshun too much, I want to accept Xiaoshun as a righteous son, I don't know if Miss Gu can agree?" Miss Gu, don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't like Ah Yan, but Ah Yan has her father and mother by her side, and it's inconvenient for me to take away someone's son. I have already learned about Xiaoshun's situation, and his father and mother are not in the capital. ”
She said this euphemistically, what does it mean that my father and mother are not in the capital? Gu Xiaoshun's father and mother didn't want Gu Xiaoshun at all, when Gu Jiao took away this useless oil bottle, and bought out his relationship with the Gu family for twenty taels of silver, Gu Xiaoshun's father and mother were very happy.
Nanxiang learned all these things from Gu Yan's mouth.
She felt more and more sorry for Gu Xiaoshun.
Gu Jiao looked at Gu Xiaoshun, to be honest, she was surprised, she didn't expect Nanxiang to like Gu Xiaoshun so much.
Let's put it this way, if the four of them stayed in the orphanage together, Gu Xiaoshun would definitely be the last one to be adopted.
"Xiaoshun, what do you think?" Gu Jiao decided to listen to his opinion.
"I listen to my sister." Gu Xiao said by the way.
This guy is also not open-minded, Gu Jiao changed the way of asking: "Then do you like Master Nanxiang and Master Lu?" ”
"I like it." Gu Xiaoshun said without thinking.
Gu Jiao continued: "Then in the future, if they are too old to support themselves, are you willing to take care of them?" ”
Gu Xiaoshun puffed up his chest: "One day as a teacher and a father for life, master and mother are like recreating fathers and mothers, naturally they have to take care of it!" ”
Gu Jiao has been his sister for so long, this is the last literary word she has ever heard from his mouth.
What he thought in his heart, Gu Jiao almost understood.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with having two more people to take care of Xiaoshun.
Gu Jiao was happy to hear it, and she nodded: "Okay, listen to me." Then why don't you pour tea for your father-in-law and mother-in-law? ”
Gu Xiaoshun was stunned: "Huh? ”
"Oops!" Gu Yan bumped his little shoulder on his shoulder, "My sister agreed!" ”
"This, this, this, this...... That's agreed? Gu Xiaoshun was directly surprised and stammered.
He actually only found out today, he hadn't digested the news yet, and then he ...... Becoming someone else's son?
The happiest is Nanxiang.
She has been greedy for Xiaoshun for a long time, and she can finally justifiably abduct people back to be her son!
Father-in-law Wei didn't expect to come to Bishui Hutong to deliver things to such a festive thing, saying that he didn't know that Gu Xiaoshun's background was so pitiful.
He suddenly felt a little pity for Gu Xiaoshun in his heart.
"Come on, come on, Xiaoshun, come here!" He beckoned to Gu Xiaoshun.
"What?" Gu Xiaoshun walked over.
Gonggong Wei untied the purse around his waist, took out a money bag from it, and took out a gold leaf from the money bag: "Give." ”
"Why are you giving me this?" Gu Xiaoshun didn't accept it.
Father-in-law Wei wants to say, congratulations to you for being a son, but why doesn't this sound right? He cleared his throat and said, "Caitou, Caitou, do you understand?" If you want to take it, you will take it! ”
He didn't know what to say.
"I don't want it."
Gu Xiaoshun resolutely refused to accept it.
Father-in-law Wei snorted: "Oh, you kid, you don't look down on it, do you?" ”
Gu Xiaoshun said stubbornly: "I don't look down on it, but I can't ask for it!" My sister said that you can't just ask for other people's things! ”
Gonggong Wei stuffed it into his hand, and Gu Xiaoshun pushed it into his hand.
Nan Xiang walked over: "What's wrong?" ”
Father-in-law Wei took the opportunity to stuff the gold leaf into Gu Xiaoshun's arms.
Gu Xiaoshun took out the gold leaf and said, "Father-in-law Wei wants to give me this, I don't want it." ”
Nan Xiang smiled, took the gold leaf, and was about to return it to Grandpa Wei, but suddenly smelled an unusual aroma.
She frowned, put the gold leaf to the tip of her nose and sniffed it.
"What's wrong?" Gonggong Wei asked.
Nan Xiang's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "This gold leaf is so chic, it is made the same as the real thing, is there still a father-in-law?" Can you lend me a look? ”
"Yes, yes! It's all here! Father-in-law Wei handed Nanxiang a bag of gold leaves given to him by Mama Cai.
Nan Xiang quietly flipped through the gold leaves in the money bag, and scratched his fingertips: "Oops, I'm sorry, my nails are too long, and I scratched the money bag of Grandpa Wei." ”
Gonggong Wei smiled: "It's okay! It's just a money bag! ”
Nan Xiang asked, "Is this money bag my father-in-law's own?" It's a beautiful suit. ”
Wei Gong said fairly: "The master in the palace is rewarded, if Mrs. Lu likes it, I will ask if there are many when I go back." ”
Nan Xiang smiled and said, "That's not necessary, this one was damaged by me, and I will pay you a new one." ”
Grandpa Wei: "No, no! ”
Nanxiang insisted again and again, and Father-in-law Wei still confiscated it, just a broken money, in his opinion, it was not worth anything.
Gu Jiao sensed that something was wrong and looked at Nanxiang.
Nan Xiang smiled: "Miss Gu, do you have a needle and thread?" I broke Grandpa Wei's money bag, and I'll make it up for him. ”
"No, no, I really don't!" Gonggong Wei said.
Gu Jiao glanced at Nan Xiang: "Yes, please come with me." ”
The two entered the East House.
Gu Jiao closed the door: "Is something wrong?" ”
Nan Xiang took out the money bag, tore it with both hands, and a bunch of dried flower fragments fell out of the mezzanine of the money bag.
Gu Jiao pinched a piece of dried flower and put it on the tip of her nose and smelled it: "What a fragrant smell, what kind of flower is this?" ”
Nan Xiang said: "This is not a flower, it is a grass, a kind of medicinal herb that grows in the territory of Yan Kingdom, which is colorless and tasteless, but after being soaked in medicinal juice, it will exude a fragrance similar to the fragrance of flowers." ”
Gu Jiao asked, "Is there a problem with this grass?" ”
Nan Xiang stared: "There is nothing wrong with itself, but after soaking, it becomes a medicine." ”
"Medicine?" Gu Jiao frowned.
Nan Xiang looked at Gu Jiao steadily, and said, "A medicine that can make people feel good and disgusting." Has this father-in-law suddenly been particularly close to or disgusted with anyone? ”
Grandpa Wei didn't ...... Your Majesty has!
