Gu Banqin gestured to Caiping to want to lie down, and Caiping tidied up the pillow behind Gu Banqin, and Gu Banqin said to Liu Wu:

"If they go too far, they will let them go too far, I still say the same thing, if you can, you won't provoke it."

After Gu Banqin said this, she continued to lie down and close her eyes to recuperate, turned over, turned her face to the inner bed, opened her eyes slightly, and finished the second half of the sentence that she did not finish talking to Liu Wu in her heart: Gu Nianshu, she has to deal with it personally.

Gu Banqin was wrapped in a thick blanket, sitting in the corridor and watching the snow, the whole person was like a ball, leaving only half of his face, and his two eyes were black and bright, moist, which was the condition for Liu Banqin to agree to Gu Banqin sitting on the corridor.

The yard was white, the wind was clear and cold, Gu Banqin's nose was a little better, and taking a breath of this cold air was simply refreshing.

Peony held a bowl of medicine, Shinobu gave her an umbrella through the yard, and sent it to Gu Banqin, Gu Banqin looked at Peony, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a smile:

"On this snowy day, you can't send it back."

Peony and Ninja smiled, and Peony said: "Niangniang, if you drink less medicine, you will give up all your efforts, and the hospital will send it over with a stove, and you are still waiting for Niangniang to drink it and go back to her life." ”

Gu Banqin took out a hand from the blanket, took the medicine, held her breath and took a suffocation, and then tearfully handed the empty medicine bowl to the peony.

Peony couldn't help but smile when she saw Gu Banqin like this, and Gu Banqin said to Ninja Cao: "Ninja Cao go and return the bowl." Peony told me if the rouge was ready. I thought that when I got better, I would go to see the eldest princess and bring it to her by the way. ”

Ninja Cao took the order, and the peony waited next to Gu Banqin, and replied as usual: "Niangniang, it is estimated that you will have to wait for two days, and this rouge will also have to be dried, it will snow for these two days, and it is not suitable for drying things, the humidity is too heavy, and when the snow is all melted, it will be done in a good sun." ”

Gu Banqin nodded naturally: "Cheng, you step up by yourself." ”

Peony Fu said yes, Gu Banqin leaned back on the chair, her eyes fell on the sundial in the courtyard that was covered by snow, exhaled a breath of mist, and asked again leisurely:

"By the way, you said before that your uncle's family moved to Jiankang, and your sister now lives in your uncle's house?"

Hearing Gu Banqin suddenly ask about her uncle's family, Peony subconsciously narrowed her eyes, and reacted after a pause:

"Yes, why does the mother suddenly want to ask the slave maid this?"

Gu Banqin nestled in the chair, and when she heard Peony ask her this, she couldn't help laughing: "Just ask casually, otherwise why are you sitting here, why are you reacting so much?" ”

Peony's face flushed, and she smiled reluctantly at Gu Banqin: "Oh, yes." ”

Gu Banqin turned his head and glanced at Peony: "Peony, why are you reacting so strangely today?" Isn't there something you're hiding from me? ”

Peony's heart tightened, and she hurriedly denied: "Niangniang is too worried, the slave maid didn't sleep well last night, and her spirit is a little wrong, if Niangniang doesn't have any instructions here, the slave and maid will retreat." ”

Gu Banqin didn't speak, stared at Peony, then nodded, Peony blessed her body, turned around, straightened her back and left slowly.

Liu Wu came out of the dormitory, handed a candied fruit jar to Gu Banqin, Gu Banqin took one and put it in his mouth, and then hooked his finger to Liu Wu, and Liu Wu bent down and attached his ear.

Gu Banqin whispered a few words in Liu Banqin's ear, and saw that Liu Wu's face changed, and then handed the candied fruit jar to Gu Banqin, bowed to Gu Banqin, and went to do something.

Liu Wu's work efficiency, under Gu Banqin's deliberate cultivation, has been significantly improved, and with the assistance of Jia Jinlu and Zhang Yuzhu, Gu Banqin inquired about what Gu Banqin wanted to know that night.

When Liu Wu was waiting for Gu Banqin to fall asleep, he reported with Gu Banqin there:

"Niangniang, the slave maid specially went to check the palace entry book of Peony, which shows that Peony does have a sister, and now she lives in Fujia Lane outside the city, living with her uncle's family, this Peony did not deceive Niangniang."

"The slave maid asked Jia Jinlu and Zhang Yuzhu to take the sign of Lihua Palace out of the palace and go around Fujia Lane, only to know that there are mixed fish and dragons in that area, everyone has three religions and nine streams, and Peony's uncle is surnamed Fan, who is a bastard who does not learn and has no skills, and he is famous in that area."

"My aunt Wang is also a wicked woman, and Peony's sister lives in such an uncle's house, and life is not very easy, but listening to the neighbors around her, the family seems to have developed recently, and Wang has made two gold bracelets in the gold shop in the city one after another, and Fan Cha has also made a generous move."

Gu Banqin climbed onto the bed, leaned comfortably on the two overlapping soft pillows, held the soup woman who had been poured into her by catkins in her hand, and asked suspiciously:

"Does anyone know where the money came from?"

The Fan family will not get rich for no reason, combined with what Peony did in the palace, Gu Banqin exhaled, and finally believed in Peony's betrayal.

"How the money came from, I can't find out for a while, because the Fan family hasn't said it outside, but Zhang Yuzhu and they still found out about it."

"That is, I heard a while ago that the Fan family and his wife found a family for one of their nieces, who is a butcher, in his fifties, very short-tempered, and has killed three wives, but the butcher's dowry is very high, it is said that there are three hundred taels."

"The Fan family and his wife agreed, accepted the butcher's money, and said that they wanted to marry their niece and daughter who ate and drank for nothing at home, but this matter ended without a problem, and the niece who said that they would marry will not marry."

"This butcher came to the door to make trouble, and threatened to kill everyone in the Fan family, but this matter seems to be solved the next day, and the butcher continues to do business as usual, and he will never mention the matter of marrying a wife."

Liu Fu told Gu Banqin everything that Jia Jinlu and Zhang Yuzhu heard in Fujia Lane one afternoon, Gu Banqin looked up and stared at Chengchen for a while, but did not speak, as if thinking about something.

Liu Wu tucked the corners of the quilt for Gu Banqin, and said to Gu Banqin hesitantly:

"Niangniang, did you suddenly ask Peony to be investigated because Peony did something? Does it have anything to do with the awkward falling out with the emperor the night before? ”

Gu Banqin was stunned for a moment, and then shook her head decisively: "No, no, it has nothing to do with that." ”

"Uh-oh." Liu Wu's appearance of wanting to speak attracted Gu Banqin's attention, and asked, "You can just say what you want to say, and you are still polite in front of me?" ”

Listening to Gu Banqin's words, Liu Wu smiled embarrassedly: "Also...... It's nothing, that is, the slave wants to ask Niangniang, what are you going to do with the emperor? ”

"You can't just be so stiff, the slave maid sees that Niangniang is sick, and the emperor is still willing to come to see Niangniang, it can be seen that he cares about the old feelings for Niangniang in his heart, but he can't think about it for a while, if Niangniang can lower his stature and go to accompany the emperor, maybe, the emperor can change his mind. If it drags on for a long time, the slave and maid will only be afraid of ......"

Liu Wu's words were not finished, and Gu Banqin couldn't help urging: "What are you afraid of?" ”

"I'm afraid that the emperor will really empathize with Concubine Shu. You don't know, in the past two days, Concubine Niangniang has also changed her cold appearance in the past, serving by the emperor's side, never leaving an inch, people's hearts are flesh and blood, Concubine Niangniang has appeared a lot under the emperor's nose, it is difficult to guarantee that the emperor will not forget Niangniang. ”

Liu Wu's words were very pertinent, and even Gu Banqin couldn't help nodding again and again when she heard it, but she didn't express her opinion, Liu Wu was anxious:

"Mother, you are talking. What the slave said is true, a man's heart can't stand the consumption the most, even if the emperor prefers Niangniang more now, but he can't get along with Concubine Niangniang for a long time, so he will change his mind. Don't make a big deal of it, it's evil. ”

Gu Banqin couldn't help but snort, and smiled at Liu Wu: "I found out that you are really worried about it, you also know that the emperor is annoying me now, I rushed over, it will only make him hate me more, it doesn't matter if it's a little cold for a few days, let him and I be calm and calm, think about how to get along in the future, isn't it good." As for Concubine Shu......"

Gu Banqin didn't continue to say the following words, but the coldness in his eyes shocked Liu Wu's heart.

Thinking of when her own mother was Zhaoyi, she and other people in Lihua Palace felt that Niangniang couldn't last a few spring and autumn, but Niangniang proved her ability to everyone with facts, and Liu Wu exhaled helplessly and put down Gu Banqin's bed tent from both sides.

Gu Banqin looked through the bed tent, looked at the shadow of the catkins going out the lights, and exhaled faintly.

Why didn't she want to renew the old friendship with Helian Hongyi, after all, she still had to work under Helian Hongyi in the future, because she did one thing and was alienated by the emperor.

Gu Banqin knew that what she was going to do now was definitely not to go to the emperor to brush up on her sense of existence.

Gu Banqin felt that she had miscalculated Helian Hongyi's tolerance for her, which led to being kept away by Helian Hongyi now, and it didn't matter whether Helian Hongyi liked her or not.

Just because, Gu Banqin brought unprecedented fear to Helian Hongyi, Helian Hongyi is suspicious and thoughtful, and his trust in a person will be established for a few years, or even more than ten years, although Gu Banqin and him have a tacit understanding, it is still far away to talk about real trust.

Gu Banqin was indeed a little anxious, she hoped from the bottom of her heart that she could establish a sense of mutual trust faster than others in Helian Hongyi's heart, so she took this opportunity to do a big thing for Helian Hongyi.

But in the end, it turned out that she was in a hurry, and the consequence of pulling out the seedlings was to wipe out all the credit for her previous hard work.

Helian Hongyi is now suspicious of Gu Banqin, what Gu Banqin has to do at this time is to keep a low profile and wait, low-key not to appear in front of Helian Hongyi, wait for a while, and wait for the dissatisfaction with Gu Banqin in his heart to ease a little, Gu Banqin will rebuild trust.

And before that, it was just right to give Gu Banqin a period of time to deal with his own private affairs.
