"Zhinan, we must take this matter without further ado, it just so happens that I haven't moved the clothes you made, so I will take out a few, and I will take you to the Guifei Pavilion to see Zhao Guifei's reaction."

As soon as the morning dawned, Gu Muqi sent away Zun Motian, who was about to leave the early dynasty, and hurriedly asked Caini and Man'er to clean up for him, and went to Zhinan to discuss countermeasures.

Zhinan was sweeping the yard, looking at Gu Muqi looking for herself like this, afraid that others would see her gossiping, she pretended to continue cleaning, moved to Gu Muqi's side with a broom, and whispered, "Niangniang, there are many people here, you and I should not discuss this subtlety again." ”

In the past few days, Gu Muqi's mood has been as exciting and nervous as riding a roller coaster, originally thinking that his sister was really cut off with him, and he was still a sinner in the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, and he received a secret letter from Gu Muqing who was secretly sent into the palace, and now he has more Zhinan around to take care of.

She was a little carried away with joy, thinking all day long about how to handle the case well and catch the culprit behind the scenes. Even when he served Zun Motian last night, he deserted a few times.

Therefore, I came over early this morning to discuss with Zhinan, and I forgot my identity with Zhinan now.

She understood the "Oh! With a sigh, he pretended to be walking in the yard, hovered around Zhinan, and secretly told her, "After you clean the front yard in a while, enter the dormitory through the secret door, and I'm still waiting for you there." ”

When Zhinan heard it, he silently took the broom and walked away.

Gu Muqi was thinking about how to solve the current problem all the way, and bumped into the barbarian who was about to enter the main hall.

"Oops!" Gu Muqi covered his forehead and screamed.

The barbarian knelt on the ground, "Niangniang forgive the sin, just now the slave maid didn't walk long-eyed, pretending to be you, please punish the barbarian." After saying that, she slapped herself several times in a row.

Gu Muqi touched the big bag that was knocked out of her forehead, thinking that she was thinking about things just now, maybe there was something that distracted her, and she hit her head like this, and it is estimated that she hit it very hard.

She looked at the brute who was kneeling on the ground and was still whipping herself, and said, "Okay, get up." It's not a big deal, so why treat yourself like this? ”

She pulled the brute up from the ground and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry, I'm thinking about things, I didn't see you, why did you go with me." ”

Man'er lowered his head and said sadly, "Just now I went to pick up something, passing by the Guifei Pavilion, and listening to the maids in the courtyard all talking about it, the Queen Mother is about to celebrate her birthday, I think Niangniang, your relationship with the Queen Mother has never been as good as Zhao Guifei, if we don't have a snack in this matter, there will be no more places to be picked by the Queen Mother." ”

Gu Muqi then remembered that it was true that when Zun Motian came to spend the night a few days ago, he mentioned that the Queen Mother was going to celebrate her birthday. Now as a concubine, she is in charge of all matters in the harem together with Zhao Guifei, and this queen mother's birthday is not a trivial matter. It's just that recently, all my thoughts have been on this case, and I have long forgotten about this stubble.

"You girl really dare to speak, aren't you afraid to say that I don't like to hear this, I will condemn you?" Gu Muqi saw that Man'er was in such a bad mood, and deliberately teased her.

Man'er didn't know what to do because he had just collided with Gu Muqi, but now when he heard his master speak to him like this, he knelt on the ground in fear.

Gu Muqi smiled and pulled her up from the ground, and said, "I'm teasing you, look at your scared look." If you don't say it, I have long forgotten about the Queen Mother's birthday. She said and touched her forehead that had just been hit, "Indeed, as you said, the relationship between me and the Queen Mother is not as good as that of Zhao Guifei, and I am afraid that the entire harem is not the Queen Mother's least favorite concubine." ”

Last time, the Queen Mother looked for Gu Muqi alone, took Gu Muqi to revisit her hometown, told her about the previous palace fights, told the story of Changchun Palace, and deliberately mentioned Gu Muqi, so that she could kill the fetus in her sister Gu Muqing's womb. Who knew that not only did she not do it, but instead informed the emperor of the matter. This made the Queen Mother even more disappointed in her, feeling that she was a piece of mud that couldn't support the wall and was useless to herself.

Since then, the Queen Mother, who originally regarded the Gu sisters as a thorn in the eye, did not like Gu Muqi who was promoted to a high position. When Gu Muqi became a concubine and went to ask the Queen Mother for peace, the Queen Mother didn't give Gu Muqi any good looks.

This time the Queen Mother's birthday is also a good opportunity for Gu Muqi to show his relationship with the Queen Mother. After experiencing this incident, she also knew the importance of being able to gain a firm foothold in the harem.

When she thought of this, she couldn't help but have a clever plan in her heart.

She said to Man'er, "Now I am also half the master of the harem, and it is not a way to be so discordant with the Queen Mother, you will take Caini to the Guifei Pavilion to inquire and see how Zhao Guifei wants to celebrate this birthday for the Queen Mother, if you happen to meet Zhao Guifei, it is better to invite Zhao Guifei over, and the two of us will discuss it together." ”

After saying that, she sent away Man'er and Caini, and returned to the dormitory alone, and Zhinan had already entered the house through the secret door, and stood respectfully waiting for Gu Muqi.

"Mother, this time we can discuss this matter." Zhinan poured a cup of freshly brewed tea for Gu Muqi, who was sitting at the table, and said in a low voice.

Gu Muqi took a sip, pursed his mouth, and said to Zhinan, "Coincidentally, I met Man'er at the door just now, and I had a plan, I will come as you say now, how about you take a look?" ”

Zhinan nodded, waiting for Gu Muqi's next step.

"Man'er told me just now that the Queen Mother's birthday is coming, and in the past, the Queen Mother's birthday banquet was organized by Zhao Guifei alone, but this year is different from usual, and now I am also sitting in the position of this concubine, so naturally I also have a reason to hold this banquet."

Zhinan interrupted and asked, "Is that why we also hold a birthday banquet for the Queen Mother?" ”

Gu Muqi shook his head and said to Zhinan, "No, what I think is that we will do it together with the Guifei Pavilion. We, the Eternal Treasure Pavilion, can lower our bodies and go over to give them a hand. ”

"Why is that? Niangniang and that Zhao Guifei are now on an equal footing, so why bother? ……”

Without waiting for Zhinan to finish speaking, Gu Muqi continued, "When the time comes, Zhao Guifei will naturally come to me to discuss this matter with me, and when that time comes, I can find the right time to reveal to her that the assassin was caught, and in that kind of place where there is no one but the two of us, it is estimated that her disguise will be a little less, and her reaction will be known at a glance." ”
