Chapter fifty-five
Gu Jia, slightly chubby, with a faint smile on his face.
A middle-aged man in his forties and fifties in a blue brocade robe stood by the candle and looked at the letter in his hand, his dark but smiling eyes flashing slightly.
He said slowly to the man in black who was kneeling on one knee next to him: "As usual, I secretly sent a message to Rou'er, telling her not to act rashly, I am useful for that woman!" She just needs to do what she has to do! ”
When the man in black heard this, he said respectfully: "Yes!" ”
Then he saluted the middle-aged man who was standing, and disappeared in a flash.
Gu Zuoxiang picked up the lit letter, threw it into the charcoal basin, looked at the burned letter and smiled slightly.
That's right, this person is Gu Zuoxiang-Gu Yi of the current dynasty.
Gu Rou, that is, Concubine Gu, has secret contact with him, and her way is very secretive.
It doesn't matter if someone else gets their hands on it, their letters have a special way of dealing with them, at least on the surface, and they haven't been discovered yet, at least for now.
Concubine Gu received the letter the next day.
She read the contents of the letter carefully, and her face did not change. Raising her hand, she threw the letter into the charcoal basin, Concubine Gu looked at the burned letter and said softly: "Hongyu, go tell the people of the "Xianying Pavilion" to let them move faster!" I can increase my pay, but within a month I want to see results! ”
Concubine Gu said this, with a hint of ruthlessness and resoluteness in her eyes!
Hongyu lowered her head and said respectfully: "Yes!" After saying that, he bowed and withdrew!
The days passed so calmly for two or three days, and Chu Wu did not leave the palace for these two days.
Occasionally, I will walk around the palace, since the last time Chu Wu and Xiao Jingmo returned to the palace in a carriage.
Chu Wu found that the attitude of the subordinates of this palace towards her was changing day by day, so to speak, to her.... It's getting more and more respectful!
And she even ran into Xiao Jingmo's concubine twice, and I don't know if it was a real coincidence or intentional!
These concubines' attitude towards Chu Wu was also respectful and polite, and on the second day, two concubines came to greet her!
It made Chu Wu feel very uncomfortable, and Chu Wu didn't want to deal with them, so she could only send them back on the grounds of her body.
According to Cai Wei, there are a total of four concubines and one side concubine in King Xiao's Mansion.
However, Xiao Jingmo didn't come to the backyard many times a month, and even if he came, he didn't go to other concubines much, and it was Concubine Gu who went the most.
But what makes Cai Wei a little strange is that Concubine Gu has been in the mansion for three months, and she is not pregnant under such grace!
It is not surprising for Chu Wu to do this, even if Chu Wu has only been in contact with Xiao Jingmo for a long time, she is also vaguely aware of Xiao Jingmo's personality.
According to what Xiao Jingmo said to himself before, the Gu family must die for Xiao Jingmo and the current emperor.
So, why would Xiao Jingmo marry Concubine Gu? And why did Gu Zuoxiang marry his daughter to Xiao Jingmo? Is it really as others say?
Chu Wu thought secretly, and the thought that instantly popped up in her heart was: "These people have a conspiracy!" ”
Xiao Jingmo may not be as he seems to Concubine Gu, maybe he is favored.... It's just for another purpose! It's like marrying yourself!
So, how could he possibly impregnate the enemy's daughter!
As for Xiao Jingmo's purpose? Chu Wu doesn't know, and she doesn't want to know!
However, what surprised Chu Wu was a little.
Xiao Jingmo is an adult man after all, and she doesn't think it's strange that there are other people and women.
What is strange to her is that in this era, Xiao Jingmo is a dignified prince of a country, not only in a high position, but also handsome, and there are only such a few women in the backyard!
However, although Chu Wu had only seen the three concubines of the palace. However, I have to say that these women are all one in a million beauties, even compared with Concubine Gu, they are not inferior!
This man really enjoys the blessings of all people! No wonder people in this era are trying their best to seize power, rivers and beauties, which man doesn't like it?
Chu Wu secretly marveled in her heart for a while, and then didn't pay attention to these anymore.
During this period, in addition to visiting the palace, Chu Wu spent the rest of her time practicing her skills and tinkering with her own things in her own small courtyard.
However, Yin Li was also in the mansion in the past two or three days, and from time to time he would come to Chu Wu for this trip, and often sat down for less than two quarters of an hour and then left.
Every time I come over, I often bring something to eat, what a roast chicken! Roast duck! Even the wine is available.
Chu Wu also did not refuse to eat, except for not drinking.
Yin Li didn't have any idea of avoiding suspicion at all, and strangely no one said anything about him.
Yin Li saw that Chu Wu didn't drink, so he pulled Eleven to accompany him.
When she was in the courtyard before, Chu Wu asked Eleven not to hide in the dark anymore, just go directly to the courtyard.
That way, she wouldn't always feel like she was being watched, which made her uncomfortable.
At first, Eleven didn't agree, so Chu Wu could only take a step back and let him choose a corner in the courtyard that was not easy to be found, as long as Chu Wu could know exactly where he was.
Later, when Yin Li looked left and right to walk around this broken yard, he accidentally found Eleven, so he pulled Eleven out.
However, Eleven was very unhappy with Yin Li in his heart, and he didn't pay attention to his invitation.
Chu Wu has always been not too restrictive about her "subordinates".
And she was also scared of Yin Li's fight, so she directly asked Eleven to accompany Yin Li to drink.
Anyway, Xiao Jingmo said that she could mobilize Eleven.
Eleven was still a little restrained and reluctant at first, but after getting along with Yin Li, she didn't hate him so much, and Chu Wu didn't care so much about the dignity of the "master and servant".
became bolder, and he was even more open to Yin Li.
Yes, every time Yin Li came, he would pull Eleven to accompany him to drink a little wine, even if Eleven didn't drink much.
However, Eleven's preferential treatment still made the secret guard hidden in the shadows very envious, jealous and hateful!
Fortunately, although Chu Wu's side is an inner courtyard, it is still quite far from the real inner courtyard of the palace. Yes, no one else can hear the noise here.
When Yin Li first came to Chu Yuan's courtyard, he was still full of righteous indignation, blaming Xiao Jingmo for why he gave Chu Wu such a dilapidated house to live in! Later, I saw that the environment here was also good, and Chu Wu also lived very well, so I didn't talk about this anymore.
This made Chu Wu cry and laugh.
And Xiao Jingmo didn't come to Chu Wu again in the past two or three days.
When Chu Wu inadvertently asked, Yin Li gnawed on the chicken legs, and said with a look of disinterest that he was going to do something!
During this period, Chu Wu also received a letter from Sima Wu.
Most of the letters sprinkled with this spill were praising how powerful Chu Wu was, and the bow and crossbow opened his eyes and praised how much of a sensation this weapon would have in the Xiao Kingdom, which made Chu Wu very embarrassed!
As for the last sentence, he said that he was now studying the drawings given to him by Chu Wu behind closed doors, and asked Chu Wu if it was okay to change these parts like this or fill in this part!
Chu Wu replied to some suggestions in detail about his questions, and wrote a letter back with her slightly modified charcoal.
On this day, the weather was a little muggy, but there was no sun, it was cloudy, but it was not cool.
The weather is now very close to summer, and the summer solstice is still a month away.
Yin Li came to Chu Wu's courtyard again today, sat on the stone bench in the courtyard, and ate the pastries he brought with him.
smiled at Chu Wu, who was sitting opposite him, and said, "Master, come, taste!" This is the pastry of "Zuifangzhai", which I can't usually buy, but today I went to line up early to buy it! ”
Chu Wu looked at these amber eyes and this beautiful face, a little helpless.
Reached for a piece of crystal clear pastry from the plate and tasted it.
He nodded lightly and said with a smile: "Not bad!" But.... I think it's still delicious to roast chicken! ”
Yin Li smiled a little proudly, and looked at Chu Wu with some surprise when he heard Chu Wu's next words.
Then he smiled and bent his eyes, nodded straight and said, "That's it!" It is! I also think roast chicken is more delicious. ”
"However, the roast chicken is too greasy. Special Master, you can't eat more! Then he said in a tone like coaxing a child to take medicine, and said to Chu Wu with a slightly straight face. He also stretched out a finger and shook it at Chu Wu.
Chu Wan: "....."
"Master, I've been observing a little bit in the past few days. You are a little lacking in qi and blood, and your body seems to be a little weak inside. Although he looks like a normal person, he usually doesn't have anything to do! However, if you have a child with Amo, it is very dangerous for your body to become pregnant! Yin Li frowned slightly, and said to himself with a pensive face.
He raised his head again and comforted Chu Wu with a serious face: "Of course, master, don't worry, if I have an apprentice, it won't be a problem for me to go out!" And it's okay to do it on a regular basis! ”
The corners of Chu Wu's mouth twitched: "......" pregnant? With Xiao Jingmo?
Chu Wu felt her scalp tingle just thinking about it! And she was very suspicious of how Yin Li's brain grew! How did you think of this?
However, Cai Wei happened to be worried when she came over with tea, and hurriedly put down the tea in her hand.
Anxiously went up and asked, "Ah! Doctor Yin, what should I do? ”
At this time, Cai Wei completely lost the idea of beating Yin Li at the beginning, and looked at Yin Li like a savior!
Yin Li said to Cai Wei with an unhindered face: "It's okay, with me to make a move, it's not a problem!" ”
Cai Wei let go of some hanging hearts.
"Master, please stretch out your hand and let the apprentice take the pulse!" Yin Li looked at Chu Wu with a smile on his face.
Chu Wu was stunned by his beautiful and angry smile, rolled her eyes a little indecently and said, "I'm fine, don't bother you!" ”
Yin Li looked disapproving: "How can it be okay!" Master ......
"Shut up! Besides, I'll let Eleven throw you out!" Chu Yu narrowed her apricot eyes slightly, and interrupted Yin Li's words with a faint smile.
Yin Li was given a cold look by Chu Wu, secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, shrunk his neck, and closed his mouth very wisely.
I felt in my heart that the eyes of Master Xiao Wuwu were as scary as Ah Mo! But, forget it, there's no rush anyway!
Master Xiao Wuwu must be shy! Yin Li's affirmation in his heart.
