This explanation is reasonable.

I have to admit that Grandpa Gao's adaptability is indeed very strong, he can find evidence to excuse himself in a short period of time, no wonder this person can stay in front of the emperor for so long!

Gu Ruoxi didn't say anything on the side, but showed a thoughtful expression.

"So that's the case, that's the wrong father-in-law. Please Haihan. Kagehahou's face softened.

Grandpa Gao smiled and said, "Master Hou, I don't blame you for this, it's because our family didn't explain it clearly." ”

Jin Yehou nodded and said, "Father-in-law Gao, please, let's go and sit in the study for a while, and let the two imperial doctors diagnose the pulse of the insider!" ”

"Why is that?" Gao Gonggong hesitated a little and said, "Could it be that our family guessed wrong?" In fact, Mrs. Zun did not die? Oh, what a sin! ”

"No, my wife is dead." Jin Yehou said with a sad face: "It's just that her death is a little strange, so Ben Hou wants to ask the two imperial doctors to help take a look......

"Strange?" Gao Gonggong raised his eyebrows and said, "Then we want to take a look!" When the time comes, when I go back to the palace, the emperor asks, our family also has something to say, right? "Tutubdi.

Gu Ruoxi couldn't help but speak on the side: "Father-in-law Gao, if you came to condole on the order of the emperor, then you have already condoled, can you go back?" If you want to participate in the investigation of the two doctors, can you help? Or did the emperor tell him so? As she spoke, she paused and said meaningfully: "I don't think that the emperor is high up and sitting on the Jinluan Palace, he can guess that the cause of my mother's death is a little strange, and send you to investigate!" ”

"Miss Gu Er's mouth is so powerful." Gonggong Gao turned his head to look at Gu Ruoxi with a smile, and said with a smile: "Of course the emperor didn't give orders, our family only chose to stay and help out of admiration for the Hou Ye, isn't Miss Gu Er willing?" ”

"Father-in-law Gao, this is our own family affair in the Hou Mansion, and we thank you for your kindness." Gu Ruoxi said in a light tone.

No matter what the purpose of Grandpa Gao came here today, it would not be a good thing, and Gu Ruoxi was reluctant to let him see the Ding family! She doesn't like this person at all.

Seeing that Gu Ruoxi said politely and bluntly, for fear that she would be hated by Gao Gonggong, she was busy playing a round on the side and said: "Gao Gonggong, I'm really sorry, this child hasn't woken up from the blow of her mother's death, and she doesn't want outsiders to disturb her, so she spoke a little rushed, but there is absolutely no malice, please Haihan." ”

"Master Hou, don't get in the way, Miss Gu Er is really temperamental, our family won't care about her." Father-in-law Gao smiled low and said.

Jin Ye Hou looked at the two silent imperial doctors behind him, turned around and said helplessly: "Father-in-law Gao, please go back!" Today, I suddenly had bad news, I and my family are in grief, and I can't afford to entertain guests, you still ......"

"Master Hou, since you have said everything here, then our family really has nothing to stay, farewell." Gao Gonggong said a word, and when he turned to leave, he turned his head and glanced at Gu Ruoxi.

This little girl's mouth is so sharp! How can I report to the emperor when I go back next time, so that I can appear unselfish?

It's not good, this girl is now the emperor's heart, no matter what he says, it will be useless, but it will provoke hatred, just note it down first, and talk about it when you have a chance in the future!

Gao Gonggong thought clearly in his heart, and slowly suppressed the breath in his heart.

As soon as he left, Jin Yehou hurriedly said to Imperial Doctor Xu and the others: "Two Imperial Doctors, come in and take a look!" My lady, she died abnormally! ”

When Xu Liang heard this, his face suddenly showed a solemn expression, and he hurriedly followed Jin Yehou and walked into the house.

Gu Ruoxi didn't go in, she stayed in the courtyard.

First, she was really not interested in everything in that room to take a second look, and second, when she saw Ding's corpse after entering, she had to make a scene and cry again, which she didn't want to do. It's quiet and quiet on the outside, but it's suitable for thinking about problems.

First of all, Ding can obviously hold on for a few more months, and she won't die until she gets married, but she is dead now? And the cause of death is not normal, if it is poisoned, then who is poisoned, and who is behind it? What is the purpose of him or her?

Before she could figure out one of them, there was movement in the room.

Gu Ruoxi immediately turned around, and saw her father Jinye Hou hurriedly walking out of the house, she hurriedly asked, "Dad, what's going on?" ”

"Xi'er, Imperial Physician Xu said that your mother was not poisoned, and her body is normal!" Jin Ye Hou said in a deep voice: "Moreover, the dark blue under her eyes, as well as the bruise on her lips, are gone." ”

"What? How could it be? Gu Ruoxi never expected that she would hear this result, she simply suspected that something was wrong with her ears!

"It's true." At this moment, Imperial Physician Xu slowly walked out of the room, glanced at Gu Ruoxi with a calm face, and said in a deep voice: "Both Xia and Imperial Physician Liang have diagnosed Mrs., and she is not poisoned. The body died because of the illness, and I don't believe that the second lady can go in and take a look. ”

When Gu Ruoxi heard this, she looked at Imperial Doctor Xu fixedly, and it wasn't until she saw a little sympathy in the eyes of the old doctor that she suddenly turned her head and rushed into the room she didn't want to go into.

The room was still filled with a smell of medicine, and a faint smell of death, after running into the house, Gu Ruoxi's pace couldn't help but slow down a little, and after a while, she walked to the bed, and her eyes fell on Ding.

Sure enough, the dark blue color under his eyes and the purple-black color of his lips all dissipated, Ding's lips

, even a little whitish. This should be the state of death she deserves.

Gu Ruoxi didn't need to test the silver needle, he knew that there was no toxin on Ding's body, otherwise, Xu Liang and the two imperial doctors would not have come to the conclusion that there was no poisoning.

When they got out of the house, everyone's eyes fell on Gu Ruoxi's body, and Jin Yehou was a little worried, and asked a little worriedly: "Xi'er, are you okay?" ”

"I'm fine!" When Gu Ruoxi heard this, he suddenly raised his head and smiled at Jinye Hou, and said, "I was wrong just now, my mother didn't poison, but this incident happened too suddenly, so I mistakenly thought it was poisoning." ”

"It's good that the second lady has figured it out." Imperial Physician Xu smiled slightly, turned his head to Jinye and said, "Master Hou, please mourn, if there is nothing to do, please allow me to retire." ”

"Two imperial doctors, please." Jinye Hou hurriedly said.

Jinye Hou called out two guards and personally sent the two imperial doctors out of the Hou Mansion.

As soon as they left, Gu Ruoxi's face suddenly sank, and she called the maidservant girl who had just been ordered to find the medicine residue, and carefully examined the pile of medicine residue she had found.

Jinye Hou instructed the housekeeper to quickly arrange the mourning hall, but when he came back, he saw that Gu Ruoxi was still investigating, and couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Xi'er, isn't everything clear?" Why are you still investigating? ”

"Dad, didn't you see that just now? Mother's lips are purple and black colors! Gu Ruoxi said solemnly: "The inexplicable disappearance must be for a reason!" Don't you think Grandpa Gao is strange? After he came, Rory said so much, but in the end he left, he seemed to be stalling for time! ”

When Jin Yehou heard this, he was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Xi'er, you mean that if Gonggong Gao didn't come just now, and Xu Liang and the two imperial doctors went in to check it, it was possible to find out whether your mother was poisoned?" ”

"That's right! Exactly! Gu Ruoxi said categorically: "I believe that my mother's death is not simple!" Hearing this, Jin Ye Hou gasped, and immediately turned to look at Ding on the bed, at this moment, the expression on his face was quite complicated.

Gu Ruoxi stood quietly aside, not disturbing him.

After a long time. Jinye Houcai sighed and said to Aunt Xu on the side: "Change your clothes for your wife!" If it drags on any longer, I'm afraid it will be difficult. With that, he turned around and walked out with a big stride.

Gu Ruoxi didn't catch up, but turned her head to look at Aunt Xu.

"Second Miss, what else do you command?" Without waiting for Gu Ruoxi to speak, Aunt Xu opened her mouth to ask.

Gu Ruoxi shook his head and said, "I'm fine, when those servant women come in to change my mother's clothes, I want to watch from the sidelines." ”

When Aunt Xu heard this, she was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Second Miss, you can actually avoid such a situation, no one will say a word about you......"

"Aunt Xu

。 Didn't you listen to what I just said to my father? There are some strange things about my mother's death, and I want to check it out by the way to see if there is anything wrong. Gu Ruoxi interrupted Aunt Xu in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Aunt Xu sighed and said, "Okay, the second young lady is watching from the sidelines, just don't stain your eyes, if the concubine doesn't agree." will be suspicious of himself. ”

"Auntie, don't worry, I have never doubted my aunt." Gu Ruoxi said lightly, and as she spoke, her eyes turned to the bed.

The color of Ding's lips seemed to be a little lighter.

"Then thank you Miss Two." Aunt Xu heard this. A trace of gratitude immediately appeared on his face, and he hurriedly called in a few mothers-in-law from the door and began to change clothes for the Ding family. It's also strange to say that Ding probably went in the middle of the night last night, but when the maids changed her clothes at this time, her body was still not stiff, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

In the process of changing clothes, Gu Ruoxi has been watching from the sidelines, not letting go of the slightest, but until the end, Ding's body was neatly dressed, and the person was also carried into the coffin that was hurriedly bought from outside early in the morning, and she did not find anything wrong.

There's nothing wrong with that. That's the biggest problem!

The person who planned this behind the scenes was indeed a person who covered the sky with one hand! No wonder she didn't notice anything!

Thinking of this, Gu Ruoxi sneered, if it weren't for the fact that Gonggong Gao came too timely today, she would not have contacted the emperor about this matter, but now, she is ninety percent sure that this matter was planned by the emperor!

As for the purpose, it is too obvious, as soon as Ding died, the first thing to bear the brunt of was her marriage, and next month's wedding date was bound to be postponed! I don't know if this push has been pushed to the Year of the Monkey.

It's really calculated!

"Second Miss, are you alright?" That's when it happened. Aunt Xu's concerned voice came, and she immediately pulled Gu Ruoxi's thoughts back to reality, she turned her head to look at Aunt Xu, and said in a deep voice: "I'm fine, auntie, my mother died suddenly, and I have to worry about you to take care of everything in the house, I'm really sorry." ”

"Second Miss, where is this? Now that the lady has passed away, it is the time to use the concubine body, and the concubine body will definitely take care of everything in this mansion properly, so that the Hou Ye and the second lady have no worries! Aunt Xu smiled lightly, raised her eyes to look at Gu Ruoxi, and said with a smile: "The concubine doesn't seem to feel very comfortable looking at you, I think it's too sad, why don't you go back and rest first?" ”

Gu Ruoxi didn't want to leave, but she didn't know what she should do if she stayed here, so she might as well go back and think about it, thinking about it, she nodded and said, "Then, auntie, everything here will be left to you." ”

"Second Miss be careful on the road." Aunt Xu said with concern.

"I know." Gu Ruoxi smiled slightly, turned around and walked out.

As soon as you step out of that threshold,

Everything in front of her surprised her, only to see that all the people in the courtyard had changed into white filial piety clothes, and even the trees in the courtyard were also wrapped with white silk, and there was a white and vast scene everywhere.

Aunt Xu's movements are really fast!

Gu Ruoxi secretly praised it, took Liuli out of the Jinghong Courtyard, and returned to the Zhiyu Courtyard, she was also going to change into a filial piety dress.

Along the way, you can see people wearing filial piety clothes everywhere, busy rearranging the Hou Mansion, and even the red lanterns under the eaves are covered with white veils, revealing a thick pathos. When Gu Ruoxi saw this scene, she felt a little sad in her heart. Whether it is a real mother and daughter, or a fake mother and daughter, at the beginning of her time in this world, the woman who had treated her so gently, Ding, left this world.

It wasn't until this moment that Gu Ruoxi felt that everything in the past didn't seem to be important, and the moment the Ding family left, it all disappeared. She had no reason to hate this woman anymore.

In the past, let it pass!

Gu Ruoxi finally turned his head and glanced in the direction of the Jinghong Courtyard, then turned around and walked forward without looking back.

And in the courtyard of Zhixi, Liuli and the others had obviously received the news of Ding's death, and they were also busy decorating the courtyard of the house, and when they saw Gu Ruoxi coming back, Liuli hurriedly put down the half-wrapped lantern in her hand, slipped down the ladder and ran to Gu Ruoxi: "Miss! ”

Gu Ruoxi saw that she was also white, so she nodded and said, "You go and prepare a filial piety dress for me, I will change it immediately." ”

"Miss, it's ready, just waiting for you to wear it." Liuli hurriedly replied: "When Aunt Xu sent someone to deliver the news, the slave maid was the first to prepare, and the first thing to prepare was the filial piety clothes of the young lady. ”

"Good." Gu Ruoxi nodded, raised his feet and walked into the room expressionlessly.

Liuli had rarely seen Gu Ruoxi's depressed expression, and seeing her appearance at this time, she was also very uncomfortable in her heart: "Miss, if you want to cry, just cry!" ”

"If I want to cry, I go to the mourning hall to cry, isn't it a waste to cry here?" Gu Ruoxi said with a reluctant smile, didn't stop in the hall, and went directly into the inner room.

Ruri tries to follow, but Amber gives her a look and she stays outside, and in the end, Amber is the only one who enters the house.

Just when Gu Ruoxi and Amber were discussing and quickly reporting this time to Xuanyuan Jingxi, an uninvited guest came in front of the Hou Mansion.

"What? The Holy Driver has arrived at the front door? How so? When Jinye Hou heard the guard's report on this matter, he was greatly surprised, but he couldn't care about it, so he hurriedly sent someone to inform Gu Ruoxi, he straightened his clothes, and went out to greet him.

When Gu Ruoxi heard the news, the expression on her face was much calmer than that of Jinye Hou, and she even sneered: "I really can't wait!" This is to immediately announce that my marriage date with King Jing has been postponed

Last year or two? Even if that's the case, if I go to the nunnery to be a sister-in-law, I won't let him succeed! ”

"Miss, maybe it's really possible." Amber heard this, and her face was very heavy.

Gu Ruoxi raised his chin and snorted coldly: "Then we'll see!" Do you really think that if you become an emperor, you can cover the sky with one hand? Is there anything in this world that the imperial power can't buy! As she spoke, she looked down at her snow-white filial piety clothes, went to the mirror and took off all the hairpin flowers on her head, and took the amber to the Jinghong Courtyard with only a snow-white hosta.

From a distance, Gu Ruoxi saw that the front of the Jinghong Courtyard had been surrounded by the Imperial Forest Army in snow-bright armor. And all the subordinates of the Hou Mansion retreated to the side. Obviously, the holy driver went into the courtyard.

Gu Ruoxi's eyes dimmed, and he kept walking towards that side. When she reached the door, before she could speak, the leader of the Imperial Forest Army lowered his head and said, "Miss Gu Er, please go into the courtyard!" The emperor has ordered, as long as it is you, there is no need to report. ”

"Thank you so much." Gu Ruoxi raised the corner of her mouth and smiled faintly, and strode into the courtyard, Amber followed her, and those people did not stop her.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, the voice of the house came faintly: "...... I have promised the crown princess, she will leave the palace tomorrow, serve her mother and filial piety, and will not return to Beijing until after Mrs. Hou is buried, as for Gu Shizi, I decided to recall him in advance, if he hurries up, he can still catch up with the day of Mrs. Hou's burial. ”

At this time, people are used to burying them three days later, or four days, but now it's June, when the weather is at its hottest, and it won't take that long. However, it takes at least half a month to rush back from the border gate.
