Gu Jiao heard Father-in-law Qin say that the relationship between His Majesty and his aunt was originally very close, but then somehow they slowly became estranged.

Father-in-law Qin himself couldn't tell what it was, in short, the two of them became more and more stiff, and Princess Ning'an was caught in the middle. After His Majesty ascended the throne, the Queen Mother lowered the curtain to listen to the government, and sent Concubine Jing to the nunnery, and the relationship between the two was completely broken.

Nan Xiang saw Gu Jiao's pensive look, and knew what she had in mind.

But she didn't ask too much.

She likes Gu Xiaoshun and is willing to become a family member with Gu Xiaoshun, so she will naturally treat Gu Jiao differently, but she will not really use the shelf of her elders to interfere in Gu Jiao's private affairs.

What Gu Jiao is willing to say, she listens; If it's inconvenient to confide, she won't ask.

Gu Jiao said again: "Nan Shi Niang, you just said that this herb is a medicinal introduction, which means that it needs to be used with medicine?" ”

"That's right, this medicine is very rare in the Six Kingdoms, it was originally ......" Nan Xiang paused, smiled, and said, "It's a kind of drug in the Tang Sect." There is a distinction between white medicine and black medicine, which was originally used to control some disobedient people, and later was forbidden by the elders of the Tang Sect because the means were too inferior. It's just that many people in the Six Kingdoms coveted this recipe and stole it from the Tang Gate. ”

Karamon.

Gu Jiao heard a new name again.

Nan Xiang continued: "However, even if there is a prescription, it is not so easy to refine the medicine, as far as I know, there is no doctor or pharmacist in the lower kingdom who can dispense the prescription for the time being. ”

Gu Jiao asked, "Has Nan Shi Niang seen this recipe?" ”

Nan Xiang sighed and shook his head: "It's a pity, I haven't seen it." ”

Gu Jiao nodded and asked, "So...... White medicine makes people feel good, and black medicine makes people disgusted? ”

Nanxiang said: "That's right. ”

After living for two lifetimes, she didn't know that there was still this medicine in the world, but she was lonely and unheard.

Gu Jiao became more and more interested, and then asked, "How does this work?" How do you make sure you don't get the wrong object? ”

Nan Xiang smiled warmly: "As long as it is fed by hand, it will generally not go wrong." ”

In this way, Gu Jiao understands that if this speculation is true, then Concubine Jing personally fed the emperor with white medicine, and her aunt fed the emperor with black medicine.

My aunt herself would definitely not be so pitiful to herself, at that time, my aunt had not yet fortified Concubine Jing, so she should have been pitted by Concubine Jing.

Gu Jiao said again: "What's the matter with the medicine introduction?" Is the introduction of black medicine and white medicine the same? ”

Nan Xiang smiled and nodded: "The medicine is the same." Some people have a firm heart and are not easily swayed by drugs, so they need drugs to induce effects. Of course, there is another situation, that is, after a long time, the effect of the drug is not stable enough, and the drug is also needed to deepen the effect. You don't need to take it, you can smell it from time to time. ”

At this point in the conversation, you don't have to think about it to guess who gave this money bag to Grandpa Wei.

Not to mention that Gu Jiao picked up the money bag and smelled it, there was a strong sandalwood fragrance on it, which was undoubtedly sent from the nunnery.

Gu Jiao flipped the money bag in her hand and said, "Nan Shiniang's nose is really spiritual, and the sandalwood fragrance is so strong, you can also smell the medicinal fragrance inside." ”

Nan Xiang smiled: "This is the same reason as your doctor to distinguish medicinal materials. ”

People are always very sensitive to things they are familiar with, and if it is aconite, I believe that this little girl can also smell it through sandalwood.

Gu Jiao looked at Nan Xiang and said, "If you can recognize this medicine, it seems that Nan Shiniang is not an idle person." ”

Nan Xiang smiled: "Each other." ”

This little girl is not a soft persimmon to bully, she hides her skills and is unknown.

Both are smart and intriguing, and the point of personal matters is respect, but also trust – respect for each other's identities and secrets, and trust that these secrets will not hurt each other's families and themselves.

From Nanxiang's mouth, Gu Jiao had a little more new understanding of this time and space, it turned out that there was not only a Turk outside the Six Kingdoms, but also a Tang Sect.

The Tang Gate lives in seclusion from the world, does not interact with the Six Kingdoms, and the Tang Gate is not allowed to leave the Tang Gate for the rest of their lives, nor is it allowed to step into the Six Kingdoms for half a step.

Of course, Nan Xiang and Gu Jiao popularized this medicine the most, whether it is black medicine or white medicine, there is no specific antidote, and the effect can only fade slowly with the passage of time, or it will never disappear.

Gu Jiao said thoughtfully: "What symptoms will occur when the effect of the medicine disappears?" ”

Nan Xiang shook his head: "I haven't seen the specifics, I only heard that there may be backlash, such as ...... Nightmares. ”

What Nan Xiang didn't say was that there might be some insanity, but she hadn't really seen it after all, and it wasn't necessarily someone else's nonsense.

Gu Jiao thought about it seriously, Gonggong Wei did say that the emperor couldn't sleep peacefully a while ago, could it have anything to do with this?

She looked at the dried flowers on the table and said, "Can the medicine stop the disappearance of the medicinal effect?" ”

"Theoretically, it's possible, but-" Nan Xiang touched a table of dried flowers, "One or two tablets of ordinary medicine are enough, and after using so much, it can only be said that the situation of the person who has been drugged is very unstable, and the effect of medicine is no longer able to return to the sky." Unless, the other party is going to give the person another medicine. ”

"Will it still work next time?" Gu Jiao asked.

Nan Xiang thought about it seriously: "There should be, but it's hard to say how many there are." ”

So Concubine Jing did go to buy medicine yesterday, and she planned to give the emperor the next medicine, because no matter how effective the medicine is, it will not be worse than now.

Concubine Jing brought the emperor to the nunnery for dinner last night, and she should have planned to drug him, but unfortunately Gu Jiao was also present, so Concubine Jing had no idea what to do.

But Concubine Jing will definitely not stop there, Gu Jiao feels that she will find another opportunity to get close to the emperor.

"I still have some business, so I'll leave first, and I'll visit you another day." After sitting for a while, Nan Xiang got up and said goodbye.

Gu Jiao took Gu Xiaoshun and sent her and Master Lu to the door.

Sitting in the carriage, Master Lu sighed: "Talking so much to that girl, aren't you afraid of revealing your identity?" ”

Nan Xiang didn't care much and said, "What are you afraid of?" Soon she will be our son's sister, and we can't stand idly by when something happens to her. ”

Master Lu held her hand and said earnestly: "It's not that I'm selfish, it's that you can put yourself in it again, that kind of thing more than ten years ago, I don't want to have a second time." The royal dispute is resolved by the royal family, so don't wade into troubled waters. ”

Nan Xiang touched his disfigured face through the veil, smiled, and said, "Got it." ”

At night, except for the small clearance that was taken to the palace, the whole family came back, and they were all happy for him when they heard that Gu Xiaoshun recognized Master Lu and Nan Xiang as half-brothers.

The old sacrificial wine personally cooked, burned a large table of good dishes, and celebrated Gu Xiaoshun's good life.

Gu Xiaoshun is embarrassed, he is still in the clouds, why did he become the son of the master and the master?

Gu Yan looked at the dishes in his bowl that were about to be piled up, and said seriously: "Look, I'm not wrong, the master just likes you." ”

Gu Xiaoshun: "......"

Is that what you mean?

After eating, Yu Ya'er put away the dishes and chopsticks to the backyard, and everyone began to do their own things.

Gu Yan went to help Xiao Qingkong slip the chicken, which was supposed to be slipped before dinner, but who made him procrastinate, and he didn't go out until it was dark.

Gu Xiaoshun went to pluck his own wood, Xiao Liulang went back to the study, and Gu Jiao watered the recipe in the front yard.

Yao walked over: "Jiaojiao." ”

"Huh?" Gu Jiao looked at Yao while watering.

Yao's hand was holding a box, and his expression was a little nervous and apprehensive: "Jiaojiao, come over for a moment." ”

"Okay." Gu Jiao put down the kettle and came to the stone table, Yao had already sat down on a stone bench, and Gu Jiao sat beside her.

Yao Shi put the box in his arms on the table and gently pushed it in front of Gu Jiao.

"What is this?" Gu Jiao asked strangely.

Yao's eyes lit up expectantly: "You open it and take a look." ”

Gu Jiao raised her hand and opened the box, and found that it was full of jewelry, exquisite and in excellent condition.

"This is ......" Gu Jiao didn't understand Yao's intentions.

Yao Shi calmed down, mustered up the courage to take Gu Jiao's hand and said, "It's for you." ”

"Why?" Gu Jiao asked.

Today is not a big day, why did you give her so much jewelry?

Yao Shi lowered his head and pinched the handkerchief, and said, "I have wanted to give it to you for a long time, and I have been worried that you don't want it." ”

These are not very expensive jewelry, although the condition is good, but they were all given to her by her grandmother before she left the cabinet, I don't know how many years have passed, and the styles are old.

It's not that she's really having a shabby life, it's just that the jewelry she bought outside isn't as meaningful as the jewelry her grandmother gave her.

But she felt it was meaningful, and she didn't know if her daughter would like it too.

Moreover, she didn't want any money and silver for her daughters except to make a few clothes a month.

Gu Jiao didn't speak.

Yao thought she was going to refuse, and hurriedly said, "No, it's not worth anything!" It's all old jewelry! ”

It's not worth much, so what's worth?

Gu Jiao didn't know much about ancient styles, but she still knew gold, a box of pure gold jewelry, all of which could be sold to buy a small mansion in the capital.

Gu Jiao sighed: "It's very old......"

Yao: "It's not very old!" ”

Oops, what the hell is she talking about?

It's too valuable, and I'm worried that she won't take it; It's too worthless, and it doesn't seem to be a weighty gift.

Yao had never been so entangled and distressed.

The corners of Gu Jiao's lips curled and smiled: "It's good-looking, I like it very much." ”

This is...... Promised to accept it?

Yao's eyes lit up, and his heart, which had been hanging all night, finally let go.

She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

In fact, it is not so much that she is worried that her daughter will refuse the gift she gives her, but that she cares more about her daughter refusing her kindness to her.

Gu Jiao returned to the East House and took out the jewelry in the box one by one to admire.

As a visitor from another world, she really likes these jewelry, they are all antiques.

She was admiring it, and Xiao Liulang stopped at the door.

Gu Jiao was keenly aware of the breathing outside the door, turned her head to look at him, and her eyes were shining: "Xianggong." ”

A habitual salutation that was not mixed with any thoughts, shouted so that Xiao Liulang's breathing was almost messed up.

Xiao Liulang covered his heart, his eyes swept over the jewelry on the table, and covered his right hand with his wide sleeve.

"What did you take?" Gu Jiao still found it sharp-eyed.

"Nothing." Xiao Liulang said, "I still haven't finished reading the book." ”

As he spoke, he turned and walked away.

Gu Jiao put down the pearl hairpin in her hand, stepped forward in a few steps, and grabbed Xiao Liulang's sleeve: "What did you take, show me." ”

Xiao Liulang said lightly: "It's nothing." ”

Gu Jiaocai didn't believe it, and reached out to grab his right hand hidden under the wide sleeve.

Even if he wants to hide, how can he be Gu Jiao's opponent?

Gu Jiao quickly took the red rope from his hand.

This is a hand-woven red rope, a few small jade, the color of the jade is not too good, but the handiwork of the red rope is exquisite.

"Was it given to me?" Gu Jiao asked.

If you get it, there's no point in denying it.

Xiao Liulang mumbled vaguely.

This was handmade by a grandmother he saw on the way home from Hanlin Academy, and the bright red color caught his eyes, and he almost immediately thought of her.

I didn't think much about it at the time, but I thought she would look good when she wore it.

But when I bought it home, I found that she had so many valuable jewelry, so her shabby bracelet ......

Gu Jiao handed him the red rope along with her left wrist: "Help me put it on." ”

Xiao Liulang's eyelashes trembled, took the rope, and his fingertips accidentally touched hers, and a crispy and numb feeling went straight from his fingertips to the bottom of his heart.

He placed the red rope on her slender wrist.

The condensed jade-like wrist was lined with a few touches of whiteness by the extremely bright red, and the temptation was extreme.
