Chapter 183: Don't Guess What Women Think
Gu Muqi shook his head, looked at Zhao Guifei's eyes, and replied, "Don't hide it from my sister, I really don't know how my sister is now." After that day, I spent the night hastily in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and before dawn my father arranged for a carriage and horse to be sent back to the palace, I guess, they must have thought that I had absconded in fear of sin. I haven't been in touch since. ”
Zhao Guifei was surprised, "Huh? With a sigh, she was suspicious by nature, and she was afraid that Gu Muqi was lying to herself, and then asked, "You can't be so ruthless, right?" What about Lord Xuan? Isn't he in charge of all the forces outside the imperial city? Didn't find out about this matter and return your innocence? ”
Gu Muqi heard that Zhao Guifei was saying this, she frowned hurriedly, put on a sad look, and shook her head.
She said to Zhao Guifei, "It's really so ruthless." Didn't the leader of Fengqi come to me to receive the monthly payment that day, I was worried that Gu Muqing had asked about it. The chief of Nafengqi only told me that the assassin had indeed come out of my palace maids, and had been executed by them. This matter is said to be too hurtful to Princess Xuan's heart, and their prince instructed no one to mention it in the future, since this matter has already executed the person who should be executed, it will be done. ”
"Then, the leader of Fengqi was hostile to me and the Xuanwang Mansion to me, sister, you also saw it." Gu Muqi wiped away her tears again, "I don't know why that dead maid lost her mind and did something like that for a while." I've really become a sinner who has no face to go home. ”
Zhao Guifei looked at Gu Muqi like this, and she didn't want to lie to herself. She listened to Gu Muqi's words and thought that she really hadn't heard any rumors recently. Tianqing has been doing things neatly and without leaving a mark since he was a child, and it seems that he can't find out if he wants to. She was also relieved, and accompanied Gu Muqi to comfort her for a while, and then took a lunch break and went back to her concubine pavilion.
Gu Muqi saw that as soon as Zhao Guifei left, she hurriedly called Man'er to bring Zhinan up from the utility room behind, she asked Man'er to guard at the door, and no one was allowed to get closer, if Zhao Guifei turned back halfway, let her cough loudly a few times, and remind herself first.
The barbarian didn't know his master, who was still miserable a few days ago, why did he suddenly feel like he had been beaten today. She didn't have much new, just do what her master told her to do.
She took Zhinan all the way from the utility room behind the Yongbao Pavilion to a path paved with cobbles in the middle of the bamboo forest, like the Yongbao Pavilion.
"I heard that you are the new palace maid that Niangniang received today? My name is Man'er, and I am Niangniang's personal maid, you will follow me more these days, and I will teach you some rules in the palace. ”
This man is also a warm-hearted person, Zhi Nan lowered his head and followed the footsteps of the man, thinking in his heart. She whispered to Man'er, "My name is Zhinan, and I will ask you to take care of me in the future." ”
Man'er said to her, "Zhinan? It's really a gentle name, and there's nothing to care about. Our master's journey is not easy, if you sincerely serve by the master's side, there are no other messy things, everyone will get along very peacefully, after all, we and Niangniang are the most one-hearted people. ”
Zhinan nodded and closed his mouth. She thought in her heart, it seems that this Gu sister is really a blessing from her previous life, Chunyu and herself are really loyal to Gu Muqing, looking at the maid who claims to be a barbarian in front of her, she also has absolutely no second heart for Gu Muqi.
Before she walked to the big point of Yongbao Pavilion, Man'er told Zhinan that the concubine Niangniang only ordered her to enter alone, and instructed her to know some etiquette in the palace, so she walked into the hall of Yongbao Pavilion alone, and brought the door from the outside, as Gu Muqi ordered, and guarded the door.
Gu Muqi watched Zhinan come in, quickly got up from the chair, and dragged Zhinan to the dormitory behind the main hall.
Zhinan whispered to Gu Muqi, "Guifei Niangniang, I am now your maid of the Yongbao Pavilion, and there should be a number of courtesies." ”
Gu Muqi shook his head, did not let go of the hand that was tugging on Zhinan's cuffs, and still walked towards his inner dormitory with her, and said to Zhinan, "When is this now, what are you talking about etiquette and etiquette, I will die of sorrow these days, you tell me about your plan." ”
Zhinan followed Gu Muqi all the way, bypassed the pillars of the main hall, walked into a screen that could be flipped on both sides, and passed through the corridor by two gaps, and finally pushed open a rosewood door carved with a pair of exquisite mandarin ducks in Gu Muqi's bedroom.
Although the Xuanwang Mansion is one of the largest families in Kyoto, the food and clothing are also the best. But in terms of style, there is still no way to compare with the palace. Zhinan looked around Gu Muqi's bedroom, the luxurious and exquisite decoration, and couldn't help but be amazed.
Gu Muqi didn't have the heart to let Zhinan watch in this room, she hurriedly dragged Zhinan, who was standing in the middle of the dormitory, to the chair next to her and asked her to sit down.
"Guifei Niangniang, I am your slave, how can I be on an equal footing with you?" Zhinan looked at Gu Muqi who was so enthusiastic, and he was simply frightened. On weekdays in the Xuanwang Mansion, no matter how well Mrs. treats herself, she never talks about being on an equal footing with Mrs.
Gu Muqi waved his hand, telling Zhinan not to care so much, although it was the most important thing to hurry up and say his plan.
Zhinan looked at Gu Muqi and was really anxious, so she didn't excuse herself, looked around, and asked, "Guifei Niangniang, are you sure that no one else can hear what the two of us are saying here?" ”
Gu Muqi nodded.
Zhinan cleared his throat and said to Gu Muqi, "This specific matter is still discussed between me and my wife. Madame told me about the two corpses in Chengbei Prison, the one that was assassinated had a birthmark, and the other body that was smuggled out of the palace by the head of Fengqi did not. ”
"Also, it seems that in Zhao Guifei's Guifei Pavilion, there has always been a mysterious man wearing a night suit. The lady and the prince estimated that this assassination in prison was done by this man. But what is uncertain now is whether the man is working for Zhao Guifei, if so, it should be Zhao Guifei's doing, if not, there may be someone else behind it. ”
Hearing this, Gu Muqi asked, "Miss Zhinan, what do I need to do?" ”
"What Niangniang needs to do is to run more to Zhao Guifei's place. I listened to Zhao Guifei's words today, and I also intended to get closer to my mother. This matter is a long-term matter, if it is really owned by that person Zhao Guifei, it is impossible not to show his feet. ”
