Chapter 402: Mingzhu is assassinated
Yan Shaoxun couldn't cry or laugh, and couldn't help but complain: "Mingzhu, can you praise me for dying?" Dogs can't spit out ivory. ”
"I praise you! I want to see, if you spit out ivory, I will open my eyes. ”
Gu Fanghua glared at him back, Yan Shaoxun smiled heartily, and left with Bai Jinxiu. When leaving, he also raised his palm to his mouth and made a flying kiss to Gu Fanghua.
Yan Rongling glanced at Gu Fanghua deeply and said with a smile: "Don't leave the palace recently, there will be good things in the palace soon." ”
Gu Fanghua was thoughtful and watched Yan Rongling leave.
Zhong Taojiao leaned over and said a little strangely: "Mingzhu, have you noticed that after returning from Liaodong, the five princes and the six princes have changed?" ”
"Changed? What has changed? ”
Gu Fanghua didn't feel it, and asked Zhong Taojiao with a smile.
Zhong Taojiao touched the green vine on the moon door, pulled it off with her hand, and played with it in the palm of her hand.
Trying to organize the language, he said: "I think the six princes are silent and have become less cheerful than before. The Fifth Prince is the opposite, feeling that he is completely relaxed, and now he is what he is. I used to feel that he was polite and a bit fake. ”
Gu Fanghua didn't take it to heart, and asked Zhu Yuyao instead: "Sister Yu, what do you think?" ”
"Mingzhu, it's hard to say, after all, I don't understand."
Zhu Yuyao's shirk, Gu Fanghua was not satisfied, but said again: "Then tell me, what is your first impression?" It's okay, say it boldly. ”
Gu Fanghua said so earnestly, Zhu Yuyao couldn't shirk it anymore, sorted it out a little, and replied.
"Mingzhu, the impression that the six princes give me is already a bit of a prince. Joy and anger are invisible, calm and responsible. And the fifth prince, he is eager to prove himself, and it seems that he still wants to fight. ”
Gu Fanghua nodded in her heart, she is worthy of being a daughter from a scholarly family, a woman who reads poetry and books, and her comments are particularly accurate.
"Yan Shaoxun still wants to fight, I won't let him get his wish."
Gu Fanghua said fiercely, attracting Zhu Yuyao's side eyes. Gu Fanghua saw that she was still talking, and took the initiative to say: "Sister Yu is curious, Yan Shaoxun looks very good to me, why do I still stand in line?" It doesn't make a difference to me who is the prince, does it? ”
"Mingzhu is fast, that's what I mean."
Zhu Yuyao didn't hide it, Zhong Taojiao also interjected: "Mingzhu, I remember that you used to admire the Fifth Prince, and said that he was from a poor background and was self-reliant. ”
"Don't you allow me to look away from my youth and ignorance? Now that I think about it, Yan Shaoxun's background is destined to be distorted, he has lost too much, and he will want to get more. ”
This is what Gu Fanghua figured out by himself after he calmed down, and Yan Shaoxun's psychology thought.
After everyone went back to greet the Empress Dowager Zhong, they still returned to Qingzhi Palace. When he was about to arrive at the door, a little eunuch carried a bucket of water and rushed towards Gu Fanghua in a panic.
Gu Fanghua stood still, and his own little fun stepped forward and kicked him out.
Xiao Tuanzi stepped forward and held him down, and shouted in a low voice: "Which palace are you, you are frizzy and frivolous, and you collided with the master, how many heads do you lose?" ”
Gu Fanghua originally thought that it was just a little prank, but she didn't expect Xiao Tuanzi to suddenly be a little surprised: "Princess, he's dead!" ”
He's dead?
Zhong Taojiao stopped Gu Fanghua and stepped forward to check, only to see that the little eunuch was bleeding, and he actually died of poisoning.
"Mingzhu, Sister Yu, don't come here. Mo Lan, you go and call someone to see which palace he belongs to and what happened to him. Go tell Mama Cen again that it is best not to use other people in Qingzhi Hall recently. ”
Zhong Taojiao felt inexplicable, Mingzhu was not a murderous person, even if he splashed water on Mingzhu, Mingzhu would not want his life, why commit suicide?
Gu Fanghua also faintly felt that something was wrong, and said: "Jiaojiao, come back quickly, let's go back first, and Gonggong Wan and Mama Fang will deal with it." ”
At the turn of the road, an elderly eunuch came out, and saw a person lying on the ground from a distance, and walked over quickly.
"The slave Xiao Beech of the Grass and Trees Bureau has seen Princess Mingzhu and a few young ladies."
Gu Fanghua glanced at Xiao Lezi, who stepped forward with his head held high and said, "This assassin is your person?" ”
"Yes. No, no, no, it's not an assassin, he's from our Grass and Wood Bureau, his name is Xiao Guo. Today, I came to take care of the corner outside the Qingzhi Palace, and I am definitely not an assassin. Definitely not. ”
Xiao Beech knelt on the ground and kowtowed vigorously, Gu Fanghua couldn't bear it. took two steps forward and said, "It's okay, get up." Xiao Lezi, let people check the details of Xiao Guo. ”
This move moved Xiao Beech to tears, and after kowtowing vigorously, he raised his head and looked at Gu Fanghua flatteringly.
"Princess, the slave has something to report."
Gu Fanghua's feet, which were about to leave, paused, and nodded: "You say." ”
Xiao Beech took two steps on his knees, came to Gu Fanghua's three feet away, bowed his head and said, "Princess, someone wants to be unfavorable to you." ”
"Who?"
Gu Fanghua hadn't moved yet, and Zhong Taojiao was the first to shout.
Xiao Beech walked a few more steps, raised his head and said to Gu Fanghua: "Princess, it is the remnant of Chen Liu's palace~"
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Beech, who was kneeling on the ground, jumped up, and the dagger hidden in his sleeve in his right hand flew straight towards Gu Fanghua. With his left hand, he took out a handful of unknown powder and sprinkled it towards Gu Fanghua.
Fortunately, Xiao Lezi had been engrossed all the time, and seeing Xiao Zelkova burst up, he directly hit the dagger and kicked him in the chest, kicking him out a few feet away.
It's just that there is too much powder, although Danzhu and Zhong Taojiao are protecting each other, but Gu Fanghua's hand is still rubbed.
Zhu Yuyao reacted a step late, and also came over and hurriedly grabbed Gu Fanghua's hand to check. Fortunately, the powder fell off as soon as it was blown, and there was no discomfort.
It's not the poisonous powder as it imagined, although it has a little taste, it doesn't seem to cause any harm to the skin.
Everyone was somewhat stained with powder, patting their feet and hands, Xiao Lezi went to check on Xiao Beech and found that he had also committed suicide by taking poison.
Gu Fanghua had a calm face, looked at the two corpses on the ground, and secretly guessed who did it.
Lu Ju looked at Mo Lan, and took Mama Cen out of the Qingzhi Palace, and hurriedly shouted: "Quick! Someone stabbed the princess, quickly pass on the imperial doctor! ”
Hearing that someone assassinated Gu Fanghua, Mama Cen and the others panicked, and when everyone returned to Qingzhi Palace, the first thing they did was to wait for the imperial doctor to come and see.
Gu Fanghua's almost assassination in the palace quickly alarmed the Empress Dowager Zhong, and when Mama Fang helped her over, the imperial doctor had just arrived.
"Imperial Doctor Zhou, I am not injured, but the assassin sprinkled powder on my clothes before he died. There are also some stains on my hands, you see, is it toxic? ”
Imperial Physician Zhou was shocked when he heard this, and first carefully looked at Gu Fanghua's hand on the pulse pillow.
The palms are delicate, the fingers are slender and slender, white and silky, and there is no trace of flaws, so you can't find any abnormalities.
"Princess, do you remember, where did you get the powder?"
Gu Fanghua recalled: "Palms. ”
