Chapter 232: VIPs
His eyes did not look at Gu Banqin, he lowered his eyebrows, picked up the palace silk on Gu Banqin's waist and put it in the palm of his hand to play with it, looking like he was leisurely, but Gu Banqin saw the answer to her question from the way he showed it.
snatched the palace silk that fell into his hands, and then Gu Banqin sat on the other side, far away from Helian Hongyi, and didn't seem to want to continue talking to Helian Hongyi, Helian Hongyi saw this, crossed his fingers, looked at Gu Banqin for a long time, and said:
"Do you want Gu Nianshu to die? Cheng, it's a matter of your words. ”
Gu Banqin heard Helian Hongyi's words, raised her eyes and glanced at him, and only replied after a while:
"It's not that I want Gu Nianshu to die, it's that the emperor doesn't want her to die, these are two different things. What I asked the peony medicine to use was the poison that Gu Nianshu asked her to use on me, that kind of poison my mother has seen, as long as it penetrates into the skin, she will definitely die. ”
"But Gu Nianshu's poisonous gas invaded until now, and he only spit out foam, and then he has been asleep, it can be seen that the poison and medicine that cost people's lives have been replaced, and the emperor insists on letting Gu Nianshu return to the palace for treatment, if Gu Nianshu will definitely die, and there is no solution to the poisoning, why should the emperor do more? So what I want to ask now is, when did the emperor drop the peony medicine? ”
For Gu Banqin's question, Helian Hongyi did not answer immediately, Gu Banqin took a deep breath and continued to guess:
"Or rather, Peony is your person from beginning to end?"
Helian Hongyi raised his eyebrows, shook his head decisively, and said, "She is not my person. However, her poison, I did send someone to change it, if Concubine Shu dies in your hands, then you will not be able to get rid of this crime no matter what. Even if I protect you from death, this matter will become a suspicion and a stain on you. ”
Gu Banqin looked at Helian Hongyi, as if judging the truth of his words, according to what Helian Hongyi said, it sounded like it was for her sake, but why did Gu Banqin feel so awkward, frowned and asked Helian Hongyi:
"Then you're not afraid that I will die at the hands of Gu Nianshu?"
Helian Hongyi hooked his lips and smiled: "Don't think nonsense, I have confidence in you." Gu Nianshu's means are not enough to kill you! ”
“……”
Gu Banqin gathered her mind, turned her gaze to the side, looked out through the curtain, and replied faintly: "That's not necessarily ......."
This sentence is a fact, if it weren't for Duan's discovery of the toxicity for Gu Banqin, then Gu Banqin would have found that something was wrong with the peony, but at that time, the poison on her body must have accumulated, if she was unlucky, where was there an injury on her body, it was not impossible to die immediately.
It can only be said that Helian Hongyi's blind trust will not make Gu Banqin feel at ease.
Helian Hongyi saw Gu Banqin's face turned around, his eyes looked calmly outside the curtain, he reached over and grabbed Gu Banqin, and said to her:
"I admit that I really didn't save you at the first time, at that time, because of hypnosis, I had a knot in my heart for you, and I couldn't be sure of my feelings for you, and now I think about it, I am really scared, but I promise that there will never be a second time for something like this."
Helian Hongyi's truth seems to sound a bit logical, because I didn't love at the time, so it doesn't matter if you live or die, and now that you feel loved, you promise that there will be no second time.
But how does Gu Banqin know how long Helian Hongyi's so-called 'love' can last?
Kings are merciless.
However, Gu Banqin would not tell Helian Hongyi these thoughts stupidly, so after Helian Hongyi said that, Gu Banqin smiled at Helian Hongyi very familiarly.
Helian Hongyi saw her smile in his eyes and didn't say anything, but squeezed Gu Banqin's hand tighter.
"So, does the emperor have any plans for Gu Nianshu? Gu Fengmao will not give the result you want, at most push Gu Xiuxian out to take the blame, the emperor wants to use this to send the Gu family, it may not be enough. ”
Gu Banqin can now be roughly determined that Helian Hongyi wanted to use the Gu Nianshu incident to put pressure on the Gu family, but Gu Banqin couldn't think of what Helian Hongyi's reason for doing this was.
Helian Hongyi leaned on the pillow, raised his eyes and looked at the top of the sedan chair, his eyes were deep, and after a moment of silence, he spoke:
"It's not to send the Gu family down, it's to give the Gu family a warning, Gu Ziqian has a handle in the hands of others, and others use it to threaten Gu Fengmao, with Gu Fengmao's temperament, there is a chance that nine times out of ten he will do stupid things for his son, if I don't knock it first, when he really does something in the future, he can't get it back."
Gu Banqin didn't understand: "Forgive me for being clumsy, I really didn't see it before, the emperor was so good to the Gu family." ”
Regardless of family and blood, Gu Banqin really felt that Gu Fengmao had mixed with the status of the prime minister of the two dynasties, relying on definitely not his own pedantic and old-fashioned strength, but relying on the century-old prestige of the Gu family, and he was protected by his ancestors to have his current appearance.
But since Gu Fengmao's generation, the big tree of the Gu family has begun to decline, Gu Ziqian and Gu Bohou are the more outstanding among Gu Fengmao's sons, but once they enter the office, they can clearly know that their excellence under the protection of the family does not make them smarter than others in their careers.
Although the family history is beneficial, it doesn't have many special talents, and in the end, it is a mediocre person with a better background.
Such mediocrity, the Gu family can't last three generations, and they don't need others to do anything to them, the big tree of the Gu family can casually encounter a little wind, a thunderstorm, and this century-old tree can collapse with a bang.
Therefore, Gu Banqin really couldn't figure out why Helian Hongyi mentioned the Gu family like this.
Regarding Gu Banqin's words, Helian Hongyi smiled silently, held her hand, his eyes fell on her side face, and he couldn't take his eyes off for a long time.
After returning to the palace, Helian Hongyi asked Gu Nianshu to be sent back to Changle Palace, and asked the Tai Hospital to send someone to treat him, and that night, the Tai Hospital stabilized the poison on Gu Nianshu's body, except that the wound on the skin was eroded by the toxin and could not heal quickly, but there was no danger to his life.
Gu Xiuxian's marriage was completely delayed because of the Gu Nianshu incident, when Tian Yongnian called Ma to propose marriage, but what he waited for was the news that the bride was imprisoned in the firewood room, and the Tian family only knew what had happened after asking, and the Tian family was furious, and immediately gave Gu Xiuxian a letter of resignation in front of the Gu family.
An uncle and elder of the Tian family who came to greet Tian Yong blew his beard and glared, and said angrily to Gu Ziqian, who was sent to receive him:
"What's the point? If the Gu family doesn't want to marry with my Tian family, I should have informed it earlier, even if my Tian family is not good, I won't do what is difficult for a strong man, but the marriage date is set, the dowry is down, and the Geng post is changed, but on the day of the wedding, I gave us such a play, saying that your Gu family didn't do it on purpose, I don't believe it. ”
Gu Ziqian looked guilty, looked left and right at the people of the Tian family, and the uncles and brothers behind him also stepped forward to persuade the Tian family, but it was useless.
Gu Ziqian looked at Tian Yongnian, who had been standing behind his back, and wanted to go past the fierce Tian family uncle to talk to Tian Yongnian in person, but before he could get to Tian Yongnian, he blocked the way for the uncle, pointed at Gu Ziqian's nose and said angrily:
"Say, what do you Gu family mean? Do you look down on our Tian family, or do you want to embarrass us? ”
Gu Ziqian knew that the Gu family ignored it, even if he was dissatisfied with the uncle of the Tian family, he had to endure a smile: "Uncle Tian, don't get excited, this happened really suddenly, our Gu family and the Tian family got married, it was a great thing for the two families to be happy, if there was a little unwillingness, how could my father invite the two ladies in the palace back to the Gu family to participate in the wedding banquet." ”
"But who knows that the people in the house are not sensible, and they hurt the lady concubine, but this hairy person is from Sister Xian'er's room, if it is usual, we apologize to Niangniang in private, and Niangniang will also look at Sister Xian's happy day and don't care."
"However, the emperor loves Concubine Niangniang with affection, and when he saw Niangniang injured, he was very distressed, so he must ask Niangniang for an explanation, no, after a few processes, what the people around Sister Xian did, Sister Xian'er, the master, has to take some responsibility, but Brother Yongnian don't worry, this is just a formality, and after Ming'er's father goes to the palace to explain this matter clearly, it will be fine."
Gu Ziqian has a handle in the hands of the Tian family, so he doesn't dare to speak too arrogantly to the Tian family, his attitude has to be very pious, and he can't help complaining in his heart, why did he let him receive these people, it really hurt his face.
But here, Gu Gongzi felt that it hurt his face, and the Tian family over there also questioned his words, and asked:
"Since something happened to the maid in the fifth girl's room, just send it away and deal with it, how can you still lock up the five girls, there must be something else, your Gu family has something to hide, hmph, originally I didn't agree to let Yongnian marry the daughter of your family, but for the sake of your father's face, our Tian family will endure it."
"I thought that the woman from the hundred-year-old Gu family, even if she was a concubine, should be better educated than the average concubine, but now it seems that it is really disappointing, even the people in the room can't manage it well, and she actually committed such a big rebellious crime, and it also harmed the master."
"Such a stateless behavior, not to mention that my Southeast Tian family has never appeared, even ordinary officials and eunuchs may not have it, it can be seen that your Gu family is not strict in governing the family."
Gu Ziqian couldn't say the bitterness, and he couldn't fully tell the truth to the Tian family, so when he was very anxious, Gu Fengmao walked out of it.
When the Tian family saw Gu Fengmao, they reined in some noisy momentum, Tian Yongnian also turned around and saluted Gu Fengmao with a fist, a fiery red robe lined his face like a crown of jade, heroic, Gu Fengmao nodded to Tian Yongnian, and said:
"Today's incident is indeed caused by Gu's lax governance of the family. But there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, people have good fortune and misfortune, no one expected such a thing to happen, but since it happened, my Gu family will not shrink their heads and tails, Gu Mou is here to apologize to the rank, and after this matter is dealt with, Gu Mou will personally go to the house to ask for guilt. ”
