Chapter 154: Old Things

I don't know who made a big fuss, but after half a day's effort, dozens of imperial doctors entered and exited the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the news of Gu Jiuge's serious illness spread all over the royal city. What's more, he bluntly said that Gu Jiuge Xu didn't have a few days to live, otherwise he wouldn't have invited so many imperial doctors and hadn't improved.

For a while, the people who came to visit almost broke the threshold, but they were all rejected by Mu Liang one by one.

The people from the General's Mansion also came several times when they got the news, but it was in vain, only Lu's mother, who had been frowning and suffering from the disaster, was by the bedside, and she didn't even return to the General's Mansion.

At the beginning, Gu Jiuge was afraid that the Jiang family would attack Lu's mother, so he sent her back to the General's Mansion, on the one hand, to protect her, and on the other hand, to let her accompany Mrs. Zhao.

Gu Jiuge was rarely awake, but his body and bones were so weak that he had to cough for a while every time he said a few words. Mu Liang saw it in his eyes, hurt in his heart, and looked a lot older overnight.

"Miss, are you feeling better?" Seeing that she was awake, Mother Lu held her hand and asked anxiously, her cloudy eyes full of tears.

Gu Jiuge wanted to tell her not to worry, but found that she didn't even have the strength to shake her head, so she only whispered: "I'm tired, I can't wake up." ”

She closed her eyes as she spoke, and her already fair little face became more and more pale because of the illness.

Seeing her like this, Lu's mother couldn't help but tremble with her hands, and her eyes widened slightly, as if she remembered something.

Gu Jiuge's current appearance is the same as Zhao Lin's back then......

The more Lu's mother thought about it, the more panicked she became, and suddenly hurriedly ripped off all the bedding and pillows on Gu Jiuge's body. Her actions made everyone a little stunned, Mu Liang quickly took Gu Jiuge into his arms, and wanted to be angry, but seeing that Mother Lu's hands were trembling and her face was frightened, she expected that there must be something hidden in it.

"Mother Lu, what are you doing here? What's wrong? As soon as Huachun entered the door, she saw such a scene, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, but Lu's mother looked around as if she hadn't heard it, and finally took a pair of scissors from the basket where Huiqiu did needlework on weekdays, and cut all the pillows and bedding indiscriminately.

Gu Jiuge leaned on Mu Liang's arms, frowning at the scene in front of him.

The pillow was cut to pieces, and things the size of broken tea leaves kept falling down, and everyone was shocked when they saw this, the things Gu Jiuge used had always been the best, and it was absolutely impossible for these dirty things to appear!

Mother Lu's hands trembled, her eyes were full of horror and she pulled up the corner of the futon, and after a slight shake, she saw that something had also fallen.

This kind of situation is something that everyone has never expected, and Huiqiu knows the seriousness of the matter, so she pulls Huachun to guard at the door, so that no one will approach.

There were only three of them left in the room, and Lu's mother sat down on a chair on the side, unable to recover for a long time. She suddenly covered her face with her hands and cried bitterly, Gu Jiuge and Mu Liang glanced at each other, not knowing why.

"Mother Lu, how do you know that there is something in Ge'er's bedding? What exactly are these? Mu Liang asked in a deep voice, he had too many doubts in his heart.

After a long time, Lu's mother eased up.

She held Gu Jiuge's hand and said slowly: "Before Madame passed away, she was just like you, Miss. At first, he was drowsy and couldn't eat, and finally it got worse and worse, and there was no way to hire any doctors. ”

At this point, her tears couldn't stop falling. Nearly...... Almost Gu Jiuge was the same as Zhao Lin back then.

After listening to her words, Gu Jiuge's heart suddenly set off a turbulent wave.

"At the beginning...... When my mother died, wasn't it because of illness? ”

She was furious, a mouthful of blood gushed out, and the whole person trembled with shock and excitement.

Mu Liang was frightened, and hurriedly hugged her, "Ge'er, calm down, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly." ”

When Mother Lu saw Gu Jiuge like this, she was distressed and self-blaming, but she was too impulsive and didn't take Gu Jiuge's body into account.

"Miss, calm down first, I don't know about this. Later, I found out when I was sorting out my wife's underwear and bedding, but before I had time to think about it thoroughly, I was sent out by Aunt Jiang with a random name of unclean hands and feet. Lu's mother whispered, mentioning that almost dark time, her eyes were still full of fear.

Gu Jiuge was suspicious, she was only nine years old when Zhao Ling died, and then she had a few serious illnesses, and her memory of many things was a little blurred. For so many years, she has never suspected the cause of Zhao Lin's death that year, but who knew that this time, it was by mistake.

"But my daily life is usually a two-person meal of painting spring and autumn, and no one else can enter my room at all, who can do anything in my futon?" Gu Jiuge seemed to be talking to himself, and after he finished speaking, he was tired and panting, and he looked like he would faint at any time.

As soon as these words came out, Mother Lu and Mu Liang also fell into deep thought.

The loyalty of Huachun and Huiqiu is naturally undoubted, if they can find out who wants to harm Gu Jiuge, maybe they can also bring out the truth of an old matter.

Gu Jiuge slowed down, looked up at Mu Liang and whispered, "Mu Liang, do me a favor." ”

"Hmm."

"It's not appropriate to startle the snake in this matter, you can send someone to investigate secretly. This time, I must find out how my mother died back then! She almost gritted her teeth, her eyes cold to her bones.

"Okay."

For her request, Mu Liang has never been undeserved.

Several people agreed that this matter should not be publicized for the time being, and Lu's mother waited to change Gu Jiuge's bedding, and even changed all the clothes for a round. She stayed in the Prime Minister's Mansion for half a month, and after leaving the source of the poison, Gu Jiuge's condition did not deteriorate again, and the imperial doctor in the palace took great care to recuperate, and her body slowly recovered.

It's kind of survived.

In the Hechang Courtyard, the Jiang family learned that Gu Jiuge was no longer in trouble, so he lost his temper in annoyance and smashed many things in the house. Seeing that it is about to succeed, who knows that it will still be discovered!

"Auntie doesn't have to be angry, although the eldest lady is fine, she didn't investigate the matter, I think those imperial doctors found a cure by mistake, and it may not be that the eldest lady found the clue." The maid twilight grass said comfortingly while giving Jiang Shi a good breath.

She has been with Jiang for many years, and she knows her temperament best.

The Jiang clan is so angry now, not just because he didn't succeed.

Thinking that Zhao Lin died like this in the first place, if Gu Jiuge noticed something, he would find out if he followed the vine to find out, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

Jiang Shi exhaled heavily when he heard this, and said in a low voice: "She is no longer the stupid Gu Jiuge of a few years ago, and if she doesn't investigate thoroughly with great fanfare, it doesn't mean anything." ”

At this point, she had to make a decision.

"Even if the eldest lady is suspicious, auntie, your hands are clean, and this fire can't burn you." Twilight said softly, as if to remind her of something.

Jiang's eyes flashed, yes, whether it was Zhao Lin's death or Gu Jiuge's poisoning now, she didn't handle it personally, and there was only one person who knew about it except for her master and servant.

If that person is dead, the matter will be lost in the sea, and nothing will be found.

Thinking of this, Jiang's anger calmed down a little, and he gently brushed away the broken hair around his ears, and lowered his head not knowing what he was thinking.

……

Gu Jiuge raised for a few more days, and her body gradually improved, and it happened that the Chen family ordered people to look for her, so she simply cleaned up, and then took the two girls to Songhe Courtyard.

In the house, the Jiang and Li families each brought their daughters and accompanied the Chen family to talk and laugh. Seeing Gu Jiuge come in with the curtain, he only glanced at it slightly, only Gu Qingwei greeted him with joy.

"Big sister, you're finally better, I've been worried about it these days." She said timidly, with tears in her eyes, which showed that she was sincere.

Gu Jiuge patted her hand and said, "I'm fine." ”

"The eldest sister made such a big disturbance a few days ago, and even the imperial doctor in the palace served you as if she had grown up in the Prime Minister's Mansion, such an honor is really unprecedented." Gu Qingxue glanced at Gu Qingwei with disdain, and then pinched her throat and said in a weird manner.

When she saw these two people, she became angry, especially Gu Qingwei!

Don't look at Gu Qingwei's cowardly appearance in front of people, but since that time she was severely reprimanded and scolded by the Li family because of Gu Jiuge's incident, I don't know which tendon was wrong, and she dared to confront her.

Gu Jiuge only glanced at her, ignored her, and stepped forward to greet Chen.

"Grandmother is well."

Chen raised his hand and motioned for her to sit down.

"I came to you today because the day after tomorrow is Lai'er's ceremony, and now that you are the head of the Prime Minister's Mansion, these things naturally have to worry about you. Although Lai'er is a concubine, but after all, it is the daughter of our Prime Minister's Mansion, and this is the decent and decent thing that the Lady must do, and she must not lose the face of the Prime Minister's Mansion. ”

Gu Jiu Ge said: "Grandmother rest assured. ”

"Big sister, you're bothered." Gu Qinglai raised his eyebrows and glanced at Gu Jiuge, and said with a smile on his face.

Gu Jiuge only smiled back when he heard this, and didn't say anything.

Everyone sat with the Chen family for a while before leaving, Gu Qingwei was worried about Gu Jiuge's body, so he reported to the Li family and followed Gu Jiuge to the drinking song garden.

"Miss, you are in good health, if you don't want to worry about these things, you can explain to the old man and the old lady. Since it is the second lady's courtesy, Aunt Jiang will definitely take care of it. Huachun said worriedly while pouring tea for the two.

Gu Jiuge had just recovered, and she didn't want Gu Jiuge to worry about these things.

"It's okay, little thing."

Gu Jiuge said, and suddenly glanced at Gu Qingwei sitting on the side stunned, and didn't respond even a few times, and couldn't help but be a little worried.

Nudged her and said, "Fennel? Uncomfortable? ”

Gu Qingwei came to her senses when she heard this, looked dazed, and hurriedly shook her head.

She lowered her eyes and saw that her eyes were dark again, she was also born as a concubine, and everyone could remember Gu Qinglai's day of harmony so clearly, but who could remember that it was also her ceremony three days later.

Li's mother doesn't care, and she has always been a character who doesn't dare to compete, so she doesn't even dare to mention it.
