Chapter 203: Killing
The name of the useful medicine behind it, a total of more than a dozen bottles, Gu Banqin opened one bottle and put it on the end of his nose and smelled it, it was indeed a pungent smell, and before he could figure out what it was, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he understood.
This is the medicinal herb she brought to Duan's that day, Duan's spent a few days refining those medicinal materials into pills, if it was before, Gu Banqin would definitely find it hard to believe, but since Duan's saw through the poisonous rouge on Gu Banqin's face at a glance that day, Gu Banqin was impressed by Duan's face.
Gu Banqin took down all the bottles and put them aside, and under the bottles were several sets of belly pockets and underwear that he wore closely, all of which were the size of Gu Banqin, and Duan's made them with stitches and threads.
Gu Banqin took out all the clothes, unfolded them one by one and shook them one by one, hoping to shake out some notes and letters and other things in the clothes, but the result made Gu Banqin very disappointed, and she couldn't help but have no letters and notes, not even the silver tickets that Duan's favorite trustee brought her......
Thinking of the Duan family, Gu Banqin sighed faintly, she gave these things to Gu Banqin, does that mean that she should carry out her own plan next.
The Duan family wanted to leave Jiankang, and planned to leave her daughter behind and run to freedom alone.
Liu Wu took the ointment from the hall and came out to wipe Gu Banqin's hands, and saw Gu Banqin turning out all the things in the baggage, and asked Gu Banqin while cleaning up:
"Niangniang, what did my aunt give you, what are these bottles and cans?"
Picked up Gu Banqin's clothes that were open to the side, and saw that it was some underwear, and Liu Wu didn't dare to tidy it up in the yard, so he put it back in the package, Gu Banqin held two bottles of research in his hand, stood up, and walked to the hall, and Liu Wu took the burden for her and followed into the hall.
Gu Banqin went to the bedroom, Liu Wu followed, Gu Banqin sat on the swing in front of the bed, poured down a black pill and put it in the palm of his hand, Liu Banqin put the package on the bed, unfolded it, and sorted out the clothes in the baggage for Gu Banqin:
"Niangniang, these are the clothes that my aunt made for you, and the stitches are dense. Are you going to wear it? Slave and maid give it to you in the cupboard. ”
Gu Banqin nodded: "Well, let's do it." Put those bottles and cans in my treasure box. ”
Liu Wu couldn't help laughing: "Niangniang, what you put in that treasure box are silver tickets, gold and silver are soft or something, what are these medicine bottles going to do in it?" ”
Regarding the teasing of catkins, Gu Banqin has her own insistence: "Oh, what do you know, this is what my mother made for me, and it is naturally a baby." ”
"Yes, yes, slave and maid will let you go."
Liu Wu knew that Gu Banqin had a deep affection for Aunt Liu, so he stopped making fun of her, and took out a rosewood box from Gu Banqin's bedside table, which contained all the silver taels that Gu Banqin had 'saved' in the past two years and some unengraved jewelry, and put these bottles and jars in, and the space suddenly became narrow.
Gu Banqin walked over, put the jar in his hand, and said casually: "Oh, the boxes are full, now I am not afraid of escaping." ”
Liu Wu was very helpless about Gu Banqin's words: "Niangniang, why do you say these bad words." If the four seas are peaceful today, how can you have a time to escape? ”
Gu Banqin didn't speak, but sat on the edge of the bed, hugged the box on his lap, and clicked on his small treasury in a daze, and found that although he was not rich and rich, he could be regarded as a small savings over time.
The key is that her income is quite high, she doesn't need to give extra food, clothing, housing and transportation, and there is a surplus for the New Year's holidays, which allows her to accumulate so much.
Youyou sighed, if the Duan clan had discussed with her earlier about her leaving Jiankang, Gu Banqin could have given her all these things, at least to make her more comfortable on the road.
Thinking of the Duan family, Gu Banqin couldn't help but sigh.
Liu Wu didn't know what she was sighing, and she didn't dare to comfort her casually, so she gave all those underwear to the wardrobe that received Gu Banqin.
"By the way, Niangniang, the Inner Court Division also came to ask today, and said that the emperor will go to the mountain for winter hunting in a few days, is our Lihua Palace with him, I haven't been sure to return to him, Niangniang, you said, let's go back to accompany the driver?"
Liu Wu put the things away, walked out of the screen, and asked Gu Banqin.
Gu Banqin is holding a heavy gold bracelet on his hand for a gesture, this is the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, there are things in all palaces, there are no exquisite patterns, the Queen Mother's birthday words, that is, the subsidy to the palaces, after listening to the words of the catkins, Gu Banqin asked as usual:
"Then did the Taihe Hall come to inform us to accompany us?"
Liu Wu was stunned for a moment, and immediately knew what Gu Banqin wanted to say, and lowered his head in frustration.
"That's not true, alas, I don't know if the emperor is going to take the concubine Niangniang this time, you look at it, if the Lanyue Palace is closed to the mountain and winter hunting companions this time, and when they come back from the hunting ground, the noses of each one are designated to grow to the top of the head. It's enough to see no one now, and I don't know what to do when the time comes. ”
Gu Banqin looked at Liu Wu and smiled, but did not speak, obviously not wanting to respond to Liu Wu's sour words at all, Liu Wu's accusation was not satisfied, and the old man with a pouting mouth seemed to think of something, so he leaned over to Gu Banqin and asked in a low voice:
"Niangniang, why don't you seem to have moved on the peony matter? Didn't you have a showdown with her last time? After so many days of no movement, will she rebel again? ”
In fact, in the past few days, what worries Liu Wu is this, since Niangniang talked to Peony alone, she hasn't seen Peony doing anything, and she hasn't heard of anything happening, Niangniang remains mysterious, and even those who serve her personally don't know what Niangniang is thinking.
Gu Banqin closed the box, glanced at the catkins, and a smile curled up at the corner of her lips: "You don't care about this matter, I have my own plans, peony her...... It's not as bad as we think. ”
Liu Wu didn't understand: "Niangniang, the peony has murderous intentions towards you, isn't it bad?" ”
Gu Banqin smiled mysteriously, pushed the catkins in a different direction, pushed her to the door, and said: "Okay, okay, these things, don't worry about it, I have a number, you go and care more about the Lanyue Palace, see if the emperor took them to this winter hunt." ”
Liu Wu pushed Gu Banqin out, and wanted to say something more, but Gu Banqin had already turned around and closed the door of the bedroom......
For the catkins to worry about, Gu Banqin is not completely at ease, she doesn't want to uncover the peony matter at once, because if it is revealed in a bright light, then at most it is to fold a peony in it.
Gu Banqin didn't want to be so cheap Gu Nianshu, so she reached a consensus with Peony, and before the results were out, Gu Banqin didn't want to talk to anyone for the time being.
After returning to the room, Gu Banqin opened the box again, picked up the medicine bottle and looked at it again, if it wasn't for the recent discord with Helian Hongyi, she could apply to Helian Hongyi to leave the palace now, so maybe she could see the Duan family again.
"This mother and daughter did it, and they didn't say a word when they left, it's really ruthless."
Gu Banqin muttered, put the things back in the bedside table, and went out by herself.
The night before the winter hunt in the closed mountain, a vigorous figure appeared in the Taihe Palace, Bi Geng was on guard, the black shadow came out of the dark, Bi Geng saw that it was he who relieved his defense, and asked:
"Why are you here? Summoned by the emperor? ”
The shadow was expressionless, and nodded to Bi Geng, Bi Geng is the commander of the imperial guard, and the shadow is the leader of the dark guard, unless Helian Hongyi himself summons, under normal circumstances, it will not appear, and Bi Geng is directly subordinate to Helian Hongyi, and is only loyal to Helian Hongyi.
Helian Hongyi walked out of the inner hall, carried a lantern by himself, found a book in the inner hall and held it in his hand, the shadow stepped forward and saluted, Helian Hongyi raised his hand to let him get up, there was no extra words, only took a secret letter from the dragon case to him.
This is not the first time that Shadow has received this kind of secret letter, and knows that this is the emperor's intention to ask their secret guards to kill people.
Unfolded the secret letter in front of Helian Hongyi, and after taking a look, he closed it and confirmed to Helian Hongyi:
"Is it a murder?"
Helian Hongyi still didn't speak, and walked back behind the dragon case while reading the book for a while, and then slowly nodded, and the shadow took the order.
After the shadow disappeared into the darkness as if it came, Bi Geng stepped forward and asked Helian Hongyi:
"Who does the emperor want to kill?"
Helian Hongyi bit his jaw tightly, the hand holding the book seemed to tremble slightly, raised his eyes to look at Bi Geng, immediately put it down, and waved his hand to Bi Geng.
Even though Bi Geng was puzzled in his heart, he didn't dare to ask more, although Helian Hongyi trusted him, but this was not a reason why Bi Geng could overstep the distance, after bowing his hand, Bi Geng turned around and left the Taihe Palace.
When leading the team to patrol in the imperial garden, the more Bi Geng thought about it, the more wrong it became, since the founding of the Great Qi Kingdom, the secret guards led by the shadow have been dispatched twice, and the two times they killed traitors who brought disaster to the country and the people.
But this time, Bi Geng felt that something was wrong, he had been staying by the emperor's side, and he hadn't heard of any bad trends in the court recently, and there was no one who made the emperor appear like a fish in his throat.
It stands to reason that everything is peaceful now, and the shadow is the most useless, but the shadow appeared, and he also received Helian Hongyi's order to kill without forgiveness, so who will Helian Hongyi want to kill?
Bi Geng stopped and said to the adjutant behind him: "I'll go back first, and you will continue to patrol." ”
After speaking, without waiting for the adjutant to answer, Bi Geng quickly left, and after changing his clothes from the imperial guard, Bi Geng left the palace overnight and walked to Youchengfu.
After a night without saying anything, after Gu Banqin dealt with the snow and withered vines in her own land during the day, she felt that her whole body was about to fall apart, so she took a comfortable bath, changed into the underwear that Duan's made for her, and slept beautifully.
The next day, Helian Hongyi was about to set off for winter hunting, and what Liu Wu was looking forward to was finally in vain, Helian Hongyi did not send someone to invite Gu Banqin to accompany him.
