Chapter 97: Eavesdropping
"Liu'er is not worried, Yuan'er is also a child from a poor family, but she has been trapped in the Hou Mansion, presumably she can be more comfortable here in Liu'er." Gu Jinshu said gently.
Jiang Yuanliu looked at Gu Jinshu's expression and didn't look like she was joking, she gasped and pulled Gu Jinshu to the backyard where no one was around.
"Why did you suddenly put her with me? It's not like you didn't see it just now, this eldest lady is very disgusted, and asked her to come back to the Spring Hall to help, isn't it causing me trouble? ”
"Liu'er's wish is not unreasonable, but it is precisely because of what I said just now that I woke up, Yuan'er will marry after all, but my mother died early and can't teach Yuan'er, if Yuan'er has been as arrogant as just now, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get married."
Gu Jinshu made a decision after serious consideration, Song Yuyuan is nominally the righteous daughter of the Hou Mansion, but his sister-in-law is not welcomed, let alone such a righteous daughter.
It is basically impossible for Song Yuyuan to marry a noble family in the capital as a wife, and he doesn't want Song Yuyuan to be a concubine, so he can only find a small family to marry, so it is inevitable that he will take care of housework.
Standing on the street, I dislike the smell of pedestrians, how can such a character be suitable for marriage?
"Jinshu, you look up to me too much, don't forget, I am also my mother's early death and no one to educate me!" Jiang Yuanliu's voice was cold, Gu Jinshu would be worried, but why did he push the trouble to her.
Hearing this, Gu Jinshu's expression froze, and he forgot ...... Because of Jiang Yuanliu's optimistic personality and smile that never had a hint of gloom, he forgot that Jiang Yuanliu had no mother since he was a child.
What he said just now was undoubtedly poking Jiang Yuanliu's heart with a steel needle.
"I ......" Gu Jinshu felt guilty in his heart, and his eyes were full of distress.
Jiang Yuanliu interrupted him, "What am I, anyway, I can't put any Yuan'er girl here, if you feel sorry for her, go find a nurturing grandmother, a dignified mansion, you won't even find a nurturing grandma." ”
"It's me who didn't think it through." Gu Jinshu let out a long sigh.
"I'm still busy, I can't send it slowly." Jiang Yuanliu's face was expressionless, she was self-reliant and self-reliant, but it wasn't that her heart didn't hurt, she really regarded Gu Jinshu as a friend, but Gu Jinshu didn't treat her as anything?
Gu Jinshu was at a loss and hurriedly said; "I have another thing here, there is a banquet in the Mid-Autumn Festival Moon Viewing Palace, and you are also on the invitation list."
Every year, the palace holds a banquet in the Mid-Autumn Festival, firstly to show that the king is happy with the people, and secondly, to win the hearts of the people.
"Got it." Jiang Yuanliu was happy in his heart, it was the imperial palace, the most gorgeous place in the entire Qingqi Kingdom.
Gu Jinshu completed the task and left with Song Yuyuan.
"Brother Jinshu, are you unhappy? Yuan'er, where did she provoke you? I...... I don't know if I have a heart disease, but I think my stepmother asked the imperial doctor in the palace to do the diagnosis and treatment for me......"
Song Yuyuan deliberately said that when she saw a doctor back then, she was sure that she had a heart disease, but it was the imperial doctor in the palace!
What kind of thing is Jiang Yuanliu? It's just that after reading a few medical books, you dare to brag about yourself, can you be more clever than the imperial doctor's medical skills?
Gu Jinshu is so smart, with a seven-trick exquisite heart, he can guess a person's thoughts clearly with just a few words, and he has always known Song Yuyuan's careful thoughts.
It's just that the father and son of the Song family died for his mother, and he always had to remember this kindness, so he always pretended to be deaf and stupid.
"Liu Er cured the eldest princess the day before yesterday, and the middle-aged man in the Rejuvenation Hall just now is the doctor of the Tai Hospital! Yu Imperial Doctor is still respectful to Liu'er, which shows how superb Liu'er's medical skills are! Gu Jinshu said lightly.
Song Yuyuan twisted her sleeves with her fingers, hating her teeth, but she didn't dare to refute Gu Jinshu, so she could only pretend to bow her head obediently.
"You go home first."
Seeing off Song Yuyuan, Gu Jinshu led people quietly into an inconspicuous courtyard, and a man who was thrown in the crowd and would never be noticed by anyone walked over.
"Little Hou Ye, I saw Gu Hongxiao just now, and after investigation, Gu Hongxiao is the second time to return to the Spring Hall." The man frowned and said.
Gu Jinshu's eyes suddenly lit up, "Check, continue to check for me, you must find out what Gu Hongxiao is trying to do!" ”
"The second son, please." The hunched old man walked over and said to the two of them.
Gu Jinshu bowed slightly, and under the leadership of the old man, he walked around for a long time before he came to a pavilion, a man had been waiting in the pavilion for a long time, and he didn't look at the footsteps when he heard them, but looked at the chess game on the stone table intently.
"Ahem, ahem!" The man coughed twice in pain.
"Second son, it's windy outside." Gu Jinshu asked the old man to fetch his clothes and handed the cloak to the man at the stone table.
Zhao Jinhuai said with a smile: "You are here, come and look at the chess game, I can't solve it." ”
"Your Highness! You are seriously injured and have not healed, you should cultivate, you shouldn't come out at this time! Gu Jinshu frowned disapprovingly, not only because the second prince had not recovered from his serious injury, but also because of the turbulent situation now.
Zhao Jin frowned, and he said in a deep voice: "Jinshu, I can't help it now, do you know what were stuffed in the stomach of the two divine fish that died in the eldest princess's mansion the day before yesterday?" ”
"What?" Gu Jinshu's eyebrows sank when he heard this, he only knew that that thing caused half of the people in the Eldest Princess's Mansion to die!
"It's the edict of the emperor."
Gu Jinshu gasped, the emperor's edict? His Majesty is the younger brother of the former emperor, and because the former emperor died suddenly and did not leave any heirs, he will be succeeded by His Majesty immediately.
It's just that the legend says that the emperor rebelled and succeeded to the throne, and his name was not right.
"Fake, how could the emperor leave a posthumous photo!" Gu Jinshu said with great certainty, whether it is true or not, it can only be fake now, because he touched Jiang Yuanliu with the east and west.
Zhao Jinhuai smiled slightly, "Whether it's true or not, it always touches some people's heads, and my father ordered a thorough investigation, and someone must pay for the lives of the two divine fish of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess." ”
Although Zhao Jinhuai's face was smiling, there was no trace of smile in his eyes, except for sarcasm, it was full of coldness.
"Don't mention this matter, I got a good errand for Jinshu, the captain of the Praetorian Guard." Zhao Jinhuai said.
Gu Jinshu was stunned for a moment, the Captain of the Praetorian Guard and the Zhonglang General jointly supervised the Janissaries, as the pro-army of the Son of Heaven guarding the capital, the Captain of the Cavalry could only be the confidant of the Son of Heaven, how could it fall on his head?
"It was recommended by Gu Hongxiao." Zhao Jinhuai said that he threw down a thunderbolt.
Gu Jinshu said with a smile: "Gu Hongxiao and I are called father and son, but we are really enemies, how could he recommend me as the captain of the cavalry?" There must be a conspiracy in this. "The relationship between him and Gu Hongxiao is already like fire and water, and it is impossible for his father to sincerely give him an official position.
"It's to spy on you, the cavalry captain doesn't have the right to take the army, but only exists as an assistant lieutenant general, and you went to find the daughter of the protector this time, which made Gu Hongxiao suspicious."
After all, there is no impermeable wall in this market, and although Gu Jinshu pretended to be a gentleman as always after returning to the capital, it finally made Gu Hongxiao suspicious.
Gu Jinshu narrowed his eyes, "If Zhonglang is about to die, the cavalry lieutenant can take over the Praetorian Guard in the name of righteousness, it seems that Gu Hongxiao has been arrogant and lascivious for a long time, and even his brain is not good." ”
"The book is the same as I thought."
Three days later, the Mid-Autumn Festival feast.
The palace is full of lights, the pavilions and pavilions are luxurious, Jiang Yuanliu followed behind Qi Jingxian in a blue shirt, his tall figure and beautiful appearance attracted others to look at him frequently as soon as he entered the palace.
Qi Jing gritted her teeth gracefully, she naturally didn't want to take Jiang Yuanliu with her, but Jiang Yuanliu was protected by the eldest princess, but the eldest princess was named in person, how dare she not bring it.
"Mother, don't be angry." Qi Ruge gently held Qi Jingxian's arm, although her appearance was not as good as Jiang Yuanliu, but she was calm and relaxed, and she didn't panic at all.
Sometimes, beauty is not a good thing.
"If the two of you enter the temple together, your name as the first beauty will be gone!" Qi Jingxian was angry and anxious, she didn't expect Jiang Yuanliu to run out all day long, how could her skin be delicate, more beautiful than her carefully raised daughter.
"Mother, what's the use of beauty? The first beauty in the capital has never been compared to appearance, and character and talent are indispensable. Qi Ruge said lightly, the curvature of the corners of his mouth was the most generous and dignified smile that he had chosen after thousands of tempers.
Qi Jingxian put her mind at ease and said with a smile: "My son is right, a wild girl who grew up in the countryside is also worthy of fighting with my son!" ”
"Ahem, you speak quietly, I can hear you clearly ten steps away, and no one else is deaf." Jiang Yuanliu reminded helplessly.
She doesn't care about Qi Jingxian's mother and daughter, the two embarrassing people, mainly because they are in the palace now, one is not good but will lose her head, she has been the Duchess of the Protector for so many years, don't you know if she is cautious in her words and deeds?
"You ......" Qi Jingxian's face turned pale, and then she realized that she was already in the palace and didn't dare to say anything.
"Hurry up, this imperial garden is good-looking, and there are a lot of mosquitoes, don't you feel panicked?" Jiang Yuanliu kindly suggested that she had a bag of herbs on her, and mosquitoes would not bite her, but it was a little annoying to fly around.
Jiang Yuanliu didn't say that it was okay, but when she said this, Qi Jingxian suddenly felt that the red envelope on her wrist was itchy and painful, and she couldn't help but scratch it.
"Let's go!" Qi Jingxian hurriedly walked forward.
Zhao Jinhuai looked at the backs of the three of them leaving, and lightly tapped his fingers on the rockery twice, and a black-clothed guard immediately appeared beside him, "Who is that woman in a blue shirt?" ”
The guard was stunned for a moment and said, "The concubine of the Protector of the People." ”
Zhao Jinhuai had naturally guessed Jiang Yuanliu's identity, he just wanted to make sure that this world was really small, but he didn't expect that the much-rumored princess of the protector turned out to be her savior.
"What an interesting woman."
Saved him and didn't repay him, but left early, without any nostalgia, I thought it was a tall woman, but just now I listened to the conversation between the three of them, and it was obviously a narrow girl.
