The voice landed. Liuli and a few other girls all looked at Gu Ruoxi.

"Miss, eldest miss, I'm afraid ......"

"Nothing to be afraid of! Isn't it just a wound on the neck? Gu Ruoxi interrupted: "You don't need to be so nervous, there must be a way!" ”

Liuli glanced at her and said slowly, "Miss, aren't we nervous?" Are you nervous? ”

However, Gu Ruoxi didn't have the time to pay attention to them at all, she was thinking about how to save Gu Yuetong's life, this person couldn't die now! At least not yet.

She cleared her thoughts little by little, and couldn't help but think that the reason why Gu Yuetong had a fever was because of the inflammation of the wound, and of course, the restlessness in the mouths of the imperial doctors was also a reason. At the plum banquet, she was too stimulated after all.

Now, if you want to save her life, you can't just rely on drugs to do it.

After Gu Ruoxi figured out this matter, he couldn't help but sigh deeply. But she didn't regret that she ordered someone to do tricks on Gu Yuetong's clothes, the queen had already wanted to calculate Gu Yuetong, and at that time, it was a matter of taking advantage of the situation for Mama Zhang to slander Gu Yuetong, but if this incident did not happen, the queen would have another idea to persecute Gu Yuetong.

It ended up like this.

Gu Ruoxi closed her eyes, but found that she was at peace in her heart. After a long time, she opened her eyes and said to Liuli, who was waiting on the side, "You go and get the medical books in my study." ”

"Miss! Do you really want to think about saving the eldest lady? Ruri's face was full of reluctance.

Gu Ruoxi glanced at her, sighed and said, "Go quickly!" If something happens to my eldest sister. If I can't marry the prince, then I will be pushed out, I don't want to have anything to do with the prince! ”

"Miss! Isn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince bad? He is so protective of Miss you, every time he enters the mansion to visit the eldest lady, he will definitely come to Luomei Ju, and even for the sake of Miss You, he is angry in front of the eldest lady and the prince, such a person, what's wrong with marrying her? Jin Se interjected.

When Gu Ruoxi heard this, he couldn't help but look up at Jin Se.

"Miss, did the slave say the wrong thing......" Jin Se came into contact with Gu Ruoxi's eyes, his heart sank, and he immediately lowered his head, and he couldn't continue after saying half a sentence.

Gu Ruoxi retracted her gaze. Said slowly: "Do you know why my mother and eldest sister are so cold to me? ”

"Know! It's not because Madame and Eldest Miss are afraid that Mademoiselle has won the favor of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and you will replace the eldest lady......" Jin Se said without thinking, but as soon as she finished speaking, she was stunned for a moment.

Gu Ruoxi looked at her and said meaningfully: "You are right, they are afraid of this, and this is what I disdain." If I take advantage of the eldest sister's danger at this time, I run to seduce the prince and make him give up the eldest sister and choose me, then my mother and eldest sister will do it

Isn't that what you feared come true? ”

"But after all, the prince loves you, not the eldest lady! The people in the house, which one didn't understand? Ruri couldn't help but say.

Gu Ruoxi smiled slightly and said, "Jinse, you are still young, do you know what love is?" Xuanyuan Yan may not fancy me, he just doesn't want the women of the Gu family to marry into someone else's family, between us, there is nothing, it is not as deep as my eldest sister and his relationship. ”

Jin Se didn't seem to understand, but she understood one thing, even if the eldest lady was gone, their young lady would definitely not want to marry the prince, because of this reason, she would desperately think of healing the eldest lady.

Miss, this is not taking the prince to heart at all!

Jin Se sighed in his heart, but finally closed his mouth.

It didn't take long for Liuli to pick up a large stack of books from the study, and at this time the east wing room was finally a little warmer, because of the temporary addition of charcoal basins. Gu Ruoxi sat cross-legged on the kang, and on the kang table in front of her were those ancient medical books that she had read countless times. Jin Se saw that she opened one of the books, so he hurriedly went to light a few more lamps.

Gu Ruoxi raised his eyes and glanced at them, and said softly: "The night is already deep, you all go down and rest!" No need to stay here anymore. ”

"Miss! How can this be! When Liuli heard this, she immediately frowned and said, "Miss, you haven't rested, how can the slaves and maids go?" ”

Gu Ruoxi was about to answer, when a rush of footsteps suddenly sounded outside, and he walked to the door in an instant, Gu Ruoxi stopped talking and turned his head to look at the door.

It was Ping'er who came in, and she said to Gu Ruoxi with a happy face: "Miss, the high fever on the eldest lady has subsided!" People have also come to their senses! ”

"Oh? It's true? When Gu Ruoxi heard this, his face suddenly rejoiced.

"Nature is true! Mrs. has fainted with excitement at this moment, and the Ruyi girl in the Begonia Garden is feeding the eldest lady to drink bird's nest porridge! Looking at her appearance, she is still in good spirits. Ping'er tilted her head and thought for a moment.

"Why did it suddenly get better, which doctor saw the doctor?" Liuli asked in surprise.

Gu Ruoxi waved her hand, waved away Ping'er, who was about to explain, and turned her head to Liuli, who was confused: "Okay, as long as you know that the eldest sister is fine, what are you doing so much?" Alright, let's go down and wash and sleep! I'm sure I'll have to get up early tomorrow morning, so let's go! ”

"Yes! Miss!" Liuli and Jinse hurriedly responded, waited for Gu Ruoxi to take the book on the kang table aside, and served her to sleep, and then retreated.

Gu Ruoxi let go of the breath in his heart, and it didn't take long for him to fall asleep.

She didn't know until early the next morning that her father had not returned all night.

Gu Ruoxi couldn't help but worry, and she didn't know what happened to her father's entry into the palace yesterday, but unfortunately, she couldn't enter the palace gate at all, and she couldn't explore

Gotta the inside message. =$][]

After Yun Duo knew about this, he took the initiative to ask: "Miss, you want to know the situation in the palace, this is not easy, His Royal Highness King Jing can enter the palace at any time, as long as he enters the palace, don't you know what happened in the palace last night?" "Throw every wide death.

When Gu Ruoxi heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyes and glance at the clouds, and the other party was suddenly trembling with his fierce gaze.

"No need." In the end, Gu Ruoxi only said such a word, and his voice was so faint that he could hardly hear it.

After all, the news of the accident of the eldest lady of the ancient family at the plum banquet still spread, and it took less than a day to spread the streets and alleys, mentioning the fierceness of the future crown princess Gu Yuetong, the people of Kyoto praised them one by one, and felt that only such a woman could be qualified to be the crown princess.

Of course, the other protagonist of this matter, the queen, has gained a lot of criticism. The future crown princess who can be persecuted proves her innocence when she dies, and this queen is not as virtuous and generous as she usually shows.

But the queen's attitude towards this matter is a little unbelievable. She didn't seem to care at all.

At noon that day, the emperor personally recruited Jinye Hou and his wife, as well as Gu Xiaoye into the palace together, naturally, as well as Prince Lian Xuanyuan Shu and Prince Xuanyuan Yan, these people were the protagonists of the whole incident yesterday, and the emperor was ready to personally investigate the truth of this matter.

The place of interrogation was in the queen's Kunning Palace, and when everyone arrived, the emperor first asked with concern to Jinye Hou, "How is your eldest daughter doing now?" ”

"Back to the emperor, Imperial Doctor Liang said at the beginning that the little girl would be very dangerous last night, but I didn't expect it to be the case. The few imperial doctors invited by Weichen in advance were also helpless. In the end, it was Weichen who entered the palace overnight and invited Imperial Doctor Xu to go, so that the little girl could be regarded as getting through this life-and-death difficulty. Jinye Hou heard the emperor's question and hurriedly spoke.

When the emperor heard this, he nodded and said, "That's good, that's good." As he spoke, he turned his head, glared angrily at the queen sitting beside him, and blew his beard and glared, "Look at the good things you have done!" If it weren't for your slander, how could Miss Gu have suffered such a catastrophe? ”

"Your Majesty!" When the queen heard this, she immediately got up and knelt down in front of the emperor and said, "The concubine did not persecute Miss Gujia!" In the Huangzhuang that day, Miss Gu's clothes were torn, so the palace asked Mama Zhang to accompany her to change clothes, but she was halfway through. They met Prince Lian by chance, and the attitude between them was ambiguous, Mama Zhang came back to tell the palace, and the palace was curious to ask, but I didn't expect Miss Gu to find a short-term view, if the palace knew that things would be like this, she would never ask......" said, with a face of remorse and self-blame, and the circles under her eyes were a little red.

The emperor heard this. couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Prince Lian Xuanyuan Shu who was standing aside, his eyes were a little meaningful.

"Father! The retainers are wronged! Xuanyuan Shu saw the emperor's eyes, and immediately stepped forward

One step behind the queen, she knelt down straight and said: "On that day, Erchen and the Gu family were drinking together, Gu Shizi was a little drunk and dizzy, so he asked Erchen to send some people to take care of Miss Gu, and Erchen immediately sent someone out to take a look outside, but the next person came back to report that Miss Gu and Mama Zhang were standing outside, and they didn't know why they were arguing. ”

Erchen was curious, seeing Gu Shizi's dizzy appearance, remembering his entrustment, he decided to go out and take a look for himself, but when he got outside, Miss Gu saw Erchen. Then he dodged a few steps away, saluted from a distance and turned sideways, turning away the sons thousands of miles away, the sons didn't know why Mama Zhang said that there was an ambiguity between us, where did this come from? ”

When the emperor heard this, he immediately turned his head to Gu Xiaoye and asked, "Is what he said true?" ”

Gu Xiaoye didn't have many opportunities to face his face, and he was also nervous when he knelt in this hall at the moment, but when he heard this. He nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes!" Emperor! Because the minister drank a little too much wine at that time, he ......"

When the emperor heard this, he immediately turned his head to Mama Zhang and said, "What do you have to say?" "Throw just lived.

"Your Majesty!" Mama Zhang knelt down with a plop and said to the emperor: "At that time, the slave maid was ordered by the queen to take Miss Gu to the Ming Palace to change clothes, but halfway through, Miss Gu said that she would not go!" The slave asked why, but she didn't say, and then His Royal Highness Prince Lian came, and the two parties happened to meet. Your Majesty, if Miss Gu hadn't stayed at that time, wouldn't she have met His Royal Highness Prince Lian? This was the slave's first suspicion. ”

When the emperor heard this, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

But at this moment, Mrs. Jinye Hou, who was kneeling on the side, suddenly spoke: "Your Majesty." Can you get the courtiers to say a few words? The minister's daughter is now sick and lying in bed, and has just escaped from the Yama Palace, if she hears Mama Zhang's deliberate words of reversing black and white, she will definitely die of anger! ”

When the emperor heard this, he turned his head to look at Mrs. Kashiba Hou, but saw that her face was full of resentment, and tears were rolling in her eyes, but he desperately tried not to fall down, showing a kind and sad mother image vividly, and he immediately said: "Mrs. Kashiba Hou, if you have anything to say, just say it!" ”

"Yes! Emperor! Mrs. Jinye Hou replied and said, "The courtiers didn't enter the palace today, but fortunately, she has told the courtiers about what happened that day, and what she said is completely different from what this grandma said!" As he spoke, he glared at Mama Zhang fiercely, but the latter knelt there as straight as a stone statue, without any reaction at all.

"Madam Gu, what did Miss Gu say, don't sell it, I listen!" The emperor spoke.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Mrs. Kazuba Hou hurriedly collected her mind and replied: "Early this morning, the daughter of the courtier finally sobered up, but she was bent on death

It was to ask the courtiers to fulfill her, and the courtiers ninja grieved and listened to her daughter finish what had happened, it turned out that at that time, Mama Zhang took my daughter out of the hall where everyone was staying, and she was going to the palace where the men's guest seat was located to change clothes! ”

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was silent, and it seemed that a still needle could be heard when it fell on the ground.

However, the next moment, Mama Zhang burst out into a huge cry: "Your Majesty! The old slave has been wronged! Miss Gu is the future princess, and the old slave doesn't dare to do this even if he has a thousand guts! Please Emperor Mingjian! ”

However, without waiting for the emperor to answer, Mrs. Jinye Hou said coldly: "You say you don't dare? At that time, you insisted on taking the daughter of the courtier to the palace, but Tong'er refused, but you didn't stop her, but you didn't care about her anymore, Tong'er had no choice, so she had to let the maid take out the cloak from the burden and put it on, trying to block the hole in the skirt, yes or no? ”

"Your Majesty, the old slave has been wronged!" Mama Zhang turned a deaf ear to what Mrs. Jinye Hou said, and only cried at the emperor.

Prince Lian Xuanyuan Shu suddenly said slowly: "Father, Erchen can testify, what Mrs. Jinye Hou said should be true, when Erchen saw Miss Gu at that time, she was wearing a thick cloak. ”

When the emperor heard this, he immediately turned his head and said, "Empress, what do you say?" ”

The queen barely showed a smile on her face and said: "Your Majesty, the weather is cold now, and everyone is walking around outside, basically wearing cloaks, which doesn't mean anything." ”

When the emperor heard this, he nodded and said, "Yes, it's just a cloak, and it doesn't mean anything." As he spoke, he turned his head and said to Mama Zhang, "You go on." ”

Seeing that the emperor had this attitude, his eyes suddenly darkened, but in the end he didn't say anything. But this has long been expected by Jinye Hou, the emperor and the queen are one, how can he embarrass the queen for himself? The so-called justice, it is impossible to give it at all, at most the emperor will give some rewards to show Ye Wei, and this matter will pass.

But his daughter! It's almost time to be separated forever! Kazuba Hou's heart ached.

Mama Zhang listened to the emperor's words, and immediately said: "At that time, the slave maid was just suspicious, and she was not sure of anything, Miss Gu was indeed as Mrs. Jinye Hou said, as soon as she saw His Royal Highness Prince Lian coming down, she immediately took a few steps back, bowed from a distance and turned sideways, as if she didn't want to meet him at all, but after that, when Miss Gu left, she fell hard because of panic. ”

"My family didn't fall down because of panic, but because the cloak was too long." Mrs. Kashiba interjected.

Mama Zhang immediately nodded and said: "What Madam said is that the slave maid also saw that Miss Gu's cloak was a little long, and after falling down at that time, Prince Lian was the first to run up and prepare to help her up, but when he was about to touch Miss Gu's body, he withdrew his hand, said that he wanted to avoid suspicion, and then ordered the slave and maid to wait for Gu Xiao

My sister picked up from the ground. ”

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Shu shrugged his shoulders and said: "Brother Gu asked Erchen to take care of Miss Gu, she fell, Erchen's first reaction was to step forward to help, but men and women don't kiss, Erchen also stretched out his hand to think of this matter." ”

The queen smiled and said: "It's good to say it, Mama Zhang doesn't know that Prince Lian is entrusted by the ancient prince!" It's normal for people to have this suspicion, and at that time, Bengong just asked, and it didn't matter, who knew that Miss Gu suddenly died by herself, and Bengong was really guilty in her heart. Speaking of this, two tears fell from the queen's eyes at the right time.

When the emperor saw her appearance, he felt a little sorry for his own queen, of course, for the aggressive Jinye Hou family, he had a trace of unhappiness in his heart.

When Jin Yehou saw the emperor's expression, he knew what he was thinking, and immediately sneered: "Your Majesty! Weichen wanted to ask the queen, where did she and Mama Zhang ask the minister's daughter at that time? Such a trivial matter, there is not even a little evidence, what the little girl said, there is no evidence, is there evidence for what Mama Zhang said? The queen mother does not ask about the indiscriminate, at the plum banquet, in front of all the daughters and ladies, in front of the little girl and the lady, no matter how the little girl argues that she is innocent, but this matter has passed through the ears of so many people, and then word of mouth, what will it be like in the end, doesn't the queen mother know? What else can the little girl do except die to prove her innocence? ”
