Gu Banqin opened the things he brought to Duan Shi in the same way, Duan Shi was not very interested in cloth or anything, but was very interested in those precious medicinal materials, and picked up a two-palm-sized Ganoderma lucidum and looked at it again.

Gu Banqin whispered to Zhang's mother about the situation in the hospital, and Zhang's mother looked at Duan's and whispered the truth to Gu Banqin:

"Alas, when the girl first married into the palace, the aunt's life at home was still successful, but from the end of last year, the beginning of this year, the eldest lady learned that the girl was favored in the palace, and she was picky about her aunt in the house."

"First of all, I sent Xiaohong Xiaocui away, and then let my aunt do some rough work all day long, sewing and mending, washing and scrubbing, where is there a shortage of people in the house, the eldest lady will let the aunt go, if the girl comes back a few days earlier, the aunt is still feeding the horses in the stable."

Zhang's mother's words made Gu Banqin fall silent for a while, and Duan raised her eyes to look at Gu Banqin and Zhang's mother while looking at the medicinal materials that Gu Banqin brought back to her.

Gu Banqin walked to the side of the table and sat down in silence, Duan gestured to Zhang's mother, and Zhang's mother bowed and retreated.

After Zhang's mother walked away, Duan put down the medicinal herbs, pulled Gu Banqin to the Taishi chair on the side, and the two sat down side by side, Duan took Gu Banqin's hand and asked Gu Banqin:

"The emperor is very good to you?"

Gu Banqin's eyes rolled, then he lowered his head and didn't speak, and Duan laughed: "I think it's pretty good, if it's not good, you won't be so hated." ”

Gu Banqin was a little weak-hearted, picked a leaf from the potted plant next to him and played with it in his hand, and habitually put it in his mouth, but before he could put it in his mouth, he reached out for Duan's and took the leaf.

Duan Shi said coldly: "How many times have I told you, your habit of eating flowers and plants casually has to be changed!" Haven't answered my question yet. ”

"How can my mother see that I am hated?"

What came out of the palace was the news of how Gu Banqin was favored, and as for attracting hatred, no one should deliberately spread it.

Unless Duan's saw something, when he came back before, he was too excited to see Duan's and Zhang's mother, and he didn't think about other places, but now looking at Duan's attitude, Gu Banqin's eyes suddenly fell on the basin of washing water on the stone table in the courtyard outside the hall and on the stone table in the courtyard that Zhang's mother hadn't had time to pour out.

Subconsciously touched her face, and Duan saw that she was aware of it, so she took out the handkerchief that she had touched out of Gu Banqin's sleeve before, and the handkerchief was stained with the rouge that had been wiped off Gu Banqin's face.

Duan Shi put it under his nose and sniffed it twice, and then carefully handed it to Gu Banqin, but he didn't let Gu Banqin touch it with his hand, only let her look at it, and said:

"This smell must be problematic."

Gu Banqin seemed to understand a little in her heart, looked at the pale red on the white veil, and said calmly: "Poison? ”

Duan shook his head: "It just makes your skin red and itchy, not poison." ”

Listening to Duan's words, Gu Banqin took a deep breath and questioned a little: "It's not poison?" ”

The origin of this rouge, Gu Banqin couldn't be clearer, if it wasn't for poison, then for whom would the peony take such a big risk, just to make her face red and itchy?

Duan Shi pinched up the handkerchief and rubbed it a little for a while, then took it to the door, carefully identified it in the sunlight, and after making sure it, he said to Gu Banqin again: "Don't be too happy, although these things are not poison, but the things in them are all fatal, but the person who poisoned them should not dare to put too many doses." ”

After saying these words, Duan Shi glanced up at Gu Banqin's face again, and continued: "Fortunately, your face has been smooth in the past few days, there are no acne wounds, and you found it early, if you continue to rub rouge for a while, it is a trivial matter to ruin your face, and in the end, you don't even know how to die." ”

Gu Banqin took a deep breath and did not refute Duan's words, because he knew that what Duan's said was the truth.

She said that since the person behind the peony let the peony do it, it would never just be a prank, and it would be over if she was itchy and itchy.

Sure enough, the ultimate goal was to kill her, and it was this kind of poisoning that would penetrate through the ulcers of her skin, and then her face would be ruined.

Thinking that someone behind his back actually had such a vicious mind towards him, Gu Banqin shuddered.

Seeing that Gu Banqin was silent, Duan also exhaled a big breath: "Looking at you like this, who is behind it should also have a count, right?" ”

Gu Banqin nodded, with a serious expression: "There are counts." ”

Duan put the handkerchief on the table, walked to Gu Banqin's side, stretched out his hand and stroked Gu Banqin's hair, Gu Banqin looked up, and saw Duan's face showing a thick reluctance, Gu Banqin looked at Duan and comforted:

"Mother, don't worry about me, I can get to where I am today, and I am not a fish that can be slaughtered, I will always find out who wants to harm me behind it."

Duan Shi seemed to feel a little touched, and hugged the sitting Gu Banqin into his arms, let Gu Banqin lean against his henchman, held her head and patted her gently.

"You have the ability, my mother knows. There is also the emperor behind you to help you, and my mother can see it. ”

"It's just that the emperor is the emperor after all, he helps you today, he has affection for you, if he doesn't help you tomorrow, don't feel too sad, a man's feelings for women last for a short time, you still have to rely more on yourself."

Gu Banqin leaned on Duan's, it seemed that she was back when she was a child, she had just come through, she was very unfamiliar with everything around her, helpless and lonely, during those times, Duan's was like this, she held her in her arms, let Gu Banqin sleep on her body, and accompanied Gu Banqin through many lonely and helpless nights.

I always feel that seeing the Duan family again this time, she is very different from before, the expression on her face looks a bit like she can't bear to part, and her life in the Gu family must be difficult and difficult.

Looking up at Duan, Gu Banqin asked Duan, "Mother, how can you see that the rouge on my face is poisonous, and you can still tell the name of the poison?" ”

There are many mysteries about Duan's body, Gu Banqin used to feel that Duan's did not look like a real concubine, in Gu Banqin's opinion, Duan's Gu Fengmao regarded Gu Fengmao more as a safe haven, and through the name of Gu Fengmao's concubine, he was hiding some unknown secrets.

Today, the Duan family showed Gu Banqin such a hand, which made Gu Banqin's feelings stronger and stronger.

Regarding Gu Banqin's question, Duan was silent for a while, and then said something to Gu Banqin that he had never said to others in these years:

"I was born in the Hongmao Jiang tribe, and I came to Jiankang after being a dancing girl, and the people of the Hongmao Jiang tribe are very good at medicine and poisons, and the person who drugged you must also be a general practitioner."

"The rouge she gave you has added a lot of spices, layer upon layer, and the person who poisoned you seems to hate you so much that he not only wants to poison you, but also ruin your appearance."

Duan's words Gu Banqin listened like this, and his mind had already begun to lock on the person behind the scenes, and after his eyes narrowed, he regained his clarity slightly, broke free from Duan's embrace, and said to Duan:

"Mother, I know who it is. I'll have more ideas when I return to the palace. It's you, it's not good to live in the mansion, otherwise don't stay in the mansion, I'll ask the emperor to arrange another house for you outside and go out of the Gu family. ”

Anyway, the Duan family is a concubine, and there is no genealogy of the Gu family, so there are not too many restrictions if you want to leave or stay. And after Gu Banqin was favored in the palace, he was always worried about whether the Duan family was doing well in the Gu family.

But the Duan family always reported good news and not bad news, Gu Banqin asked Helian Hongyi to find Gu Fengmao, she was not willing to go out of the Gu family, in fact, who would not have thought of it.

The reason why the Duan family stayed in the Gu family was nothing more than that they didn't want Gu Banqin to look too thin and powerless when they were fighting with people in the palace, even if the other concubines in the palace knew that Gu Banqin was not favored in the Gu family, they were still members of the Gu family in the end.

Gu Banqin was very moved by Duan's hard work, but she was unwilling to let Duan continue to suffer in the Gu family for the sake of coveting such a little bit of false name protection from the Gu family.

The eldest lady Wang must have seen that the Duan family did not dare to leave the Gu family, so she tossed the Duan family in every way, thinking of this, Gu Banqin couldn't help but ask the Duan family again:

"Mother, what did the eldest lady say to you, you and I talk carefully, now I am not the concubine who let her bully, when she entered the palace when she saw her a year ago, I will have a showdown with her, I will not ask for any help from the Gu family, and the Gu family will not be able to help me, it doesn't make much sense for you to stay and suffer, you tell me, I will give you a vent when I go back."

Gu Banqin's words made Duan Shi shake his head: "The eldest lady didn't do anything to me, it's just some rough work, I can do rough work, I don't care about rough words, days are ordinary days, there is no big toss, and you don't need to be angry." ”

Duan reached out again and stroked Gu Banqin's cheek, looking lingering, Gu Banqin grabbed her hand, put it in front of her and looked left and right, and was very concerned about the few cracks on her hand, and said:

"Sometimes, I just can't be too kind, people are good at being bullied, horses are good at being ridden, if I don't have the ability, it's just that, but now that I have the ability, let me watch you being bullied like this, where do I live? I can't sleep at night without breathing! ”

"Besides, the rouge thing on my face is inseparably inseparable from Gu Nianshu. And Gu Nianshu is alone in the palace, if there is no one behind her to help her, she can't make any big waves. ”

"And if she can help her deal with me, she also uses such vicious methods, and I think the eldest lady will not be able to get away with it. She has dealt with our mother and son like this, if we still swallow our anger, then it is called a grievance. ”

Gu Banqin's words were filled with righteous indignation, her little face was already cute, but now she was puffed up, and she looked even more cute, Duan's family smiled at her daughter's expression, stretched out her hand and pinched her cheek, and said:

"Look at your fierce appearance, has the emperor seen it? You have the ability now, I know, what you do in the palace, the Gu family can more or less hear it. ”

"You are doing a very good job, and according to me, the emperor also knows that you are capable, and intends to let you preside over the overall situation in the palace, although I will not make you the queen, but I don't think a concubine will be able to run away from you in the future."

"Now you just have to be more mindful and pay more attention to the people and things around you, don't let some people take advantage of the loopholes, and nothing big will happen in the future. As for the eldest lady and the fourth girl...... I don't want you to stand out for these little things in my house, but if it's for yourself, no matter what you do, my mother will support it. ”
