"Yes, Hongu watched her drink that porridge with her own eyes, why is she okay?" Concubine Jing immediately turned her head.

The palace maid immediately lowered her head: "Back to the mother, the slave and maid don't know, they just think it's strange." ”

Concubine Jing heard this and thought carefully for a while. But he impatiently instructed: "You call you a palace maid, look at her a little, when necessary, you can knock people unconscious, anyway, what the emperor needs is not a sober Gu Ruoxi!" “

"Yes! Empress! The palace maid answered, and immediately took a few palace maids and eunuchs to chase Gu Ruoxi.

Concubine Jing couldn't sit still in the hall at all, and after going back and forth a few times, she immediately took someone to the gate of the Changqiu Palace, thinking that if the emperor came, she would also tell the emperor that Gu Ruoxi might have smallpox in advance.

For such a woman, the emperor should try not to get contaminated as much as possible!

In front of the Qianqing Palace, the imperial chariot has been prepared, and the palace people are waiting quietly outside.

"Your Majesty, it's cold outside. Wear an extra cape. Gao Gonggong happily handed over a mink fur, put it on the emperor's body, and helped him to get into the chariot.

The emperor nodded and said in a deep voice: "Let's go!" Go to the Changqiu Palace. ”

Gao Gonggong immediately turned around and sang: "The emperor is driving-"

As soon as the words fell, on the palace road not far ahead, a guard hurriedly rushed over, with an anxious look on his face, and came straight towards the holy car.

"Hey, isn't that the little Guizi in the Jing Concubine Palace? How did he get here? The Emperor glanced at it. Asked with some confusion.

Gonggong Gao narrowed his eyes and glanced at the little eunuch who was running over, nodded and said, "Is it really him, the emperor, do you want him to come over for questioning?" ”

The emperor nodded immediately.

Gao Gonggong motioned for the guards to step back. Let Xiao Guizi run directly to the holy car.

"Minion little Guizi! See the Emperor! Long live the emperor, long live, long live! With a plop, Xiao Guizi knelt down directly three feet away in front of the emperor's chariot.

"Excuse me, did Concubine Jing send you?" The emperor asked lightly.

"Back to the emperor, Concubine Jing sent a servant over!" When Xiao Guizi heard this, he hurriedly raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, Niangniang instructed the slave maid to come over and bring a word to Your Majesty!" ”

"What?" The emperor was very curious, obviously the leaves were already arranged, and now that the arrow was ready, how could she suddenly send a eunuch over? Could it be that something really happened?

His heart was immediately lifted.

"Tell me! What do you want to do? Father-in-law Gao on the side couldn't help but urge.

Xiao Guizi was startled, and hurriedly replied, "Yes, yes!" Slave just said! The palace maids who were waiting for the second lady of the Gu family to change their clothes said that this girl's right arm was covered with dense red bumps, which looked like smallpox! ”

"What nonsense are you talking about?" When the emperor heard this, he immediately became angry

"Those are old diseases! If it hadn't been touched by water, how could it have relapsed? What a damn thing! ”

Father-in-law Gao also scolded on the side: "You don't make a fuss there. Those are just old diseases, not smallpox! ”

The emperor had sent him to personally send medicine to the Jinye Houfu several times, and several prescriptions for Gu Ruoxi's medical treatment, Gao Gonggong, had also seen it with his own eyes, and he knew that Gu Ruoxi's arm was only good recently, and he couldn't touch the water. And how could a good person be infected with a fatal disease like smallpox?

"When, Miss Gu Er also said so at that time, but, but her arm was so terrifying, our mother was scared, and I thought it would be better to ask the imperial doctor to take a look first!" Xiao Guizi replied tremblingly: "Your Majesty, I'd rather believe it than not!" ”

"Get out! Pull him down! When the emperor heard this, he immediately became angry, if he really invited a few imperial doctors to go to the Changqiu Palace, wouldn't all this everything he had painstakingly planned today be in vain?

"Yes! Emperor! Soon, two guards with knives came up and set up the little Guizi who was kneeling on the ground, pulled him and retreated.

Xiao Guizi was already scared stupid. Don't dare to say a word more.

But fortunately, he is timid, otherwise, if he continues to make noise, the emperor will cut off his head!

When such an incident happened, the emperor's good mood that he had just looked forward to immediately discounted, and he was a little impatient and ordered to the father-in-law on the side: "Okay, don't delay any longer, let's go." ”

Gao Gonggong nodded, waved his hand, and everyone got the order and hurriedly moved forward.

But the emperor's chariot had only taken a few steps forward, and there was a chaotic sound of footsteps in front of him.

Who's here again this time? The Emperor raised his somewhat gloomy eyes and glanced forward.

First a group of palace people, and then the tall imperial chariot appeared from behind the palace wall, and its array was no worse than that of the emperor.

In this palace, there is only one person who can be compared with the emperor.

That is the current Queen Mother.

When he saw the gradually approaching emperor clearly, the emperor's face couldn't help but slowly change, he stared at the queen mother's emperor with a gloomy face for several times, and then turned to Gao Gonggong and said expressionlessly: "Help me down." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Gao Gonggong hurriedly stepped forward and carefully helped the emperor to walk down from the chariot.

In this way, the Queen Mother and her entourage have already arrived at the front.

"Sons see the queen mother!" The emperor first knelt down and asked for a leaf, and then got up to support the queen mother, and the palace people on both sides stood with their heads down, and no one dared to speak.

"Emperor, the mourning family misses you, so come over and take a look, you won't blame, right?" The Queen Mother was supported by the emperor and walked towards the Qianqing Palace, and looked at him with a smile.

The emperor was extremely impatient in his heart, but the person in front of him was the queen mother, not a young person, he was not at all

You can't just mess around!

"The queen mother laughed, you can come, it's too late for the sons to be happy." The emperor smiled reluctantly and said.

"That's good, the mourning family is still afraid of disturbing the emperor!" The Queen Mother glanced up and down at the emperor with a smile and said, "Emperor, look at your dress, you are ready to go out!" “

"Yes, I'm going to go see Concubine Jing, I heard that she's sick these days." The emperor said in a sullen tone.

"Really?" When the Queen Mother heard this, she immediately stopped and pondered: "Then why don't you go back to Cining Palace and come to visit the emperor another day?" ”

"How can this work? Concubine Jing wants to see it, but the mother concubine and the ministers can't help but accompany it! The muscles on the Emperor's smiling face stiffened a little.

He has been acting as a filial emperor for so many years, can he not continue to act? He can't let the world say he's ungrateful!

"Alas, it's the mourning family who can't live with Jing Concubine." The Queen Mother said apologetically.

When the emperor heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "The queen mother must not say that!" In my heart, there can be thousands of concubines, but there is only one queen mother, and that is you! Of course, it's important to accompany you! ”

When he said these scenes, the emperor really wanted to rush out of the door and go to the Changqiu Hall desperately! He's been planning a plan for more than a month! If you fall short today, you won't have a chance in the future!

Jin Ye Hou must have noticed something, and if he wanted to easily invite Gu Ruoxi to the palace, I am afraid it would not be so easy......

At the same time, in the Changqiu Palace.

Concubine Jing waited left and right, the emperor just didn't come, so she couldn't stop sending the palace maids around her to go out to find out the news.

"Go and see! Why didn't the emperor come until this time! ”

"Yes, sis!" The palace maid who was ordered answered and turned and retreated.

"Niangniang, maybe the emperor heard what Xiao Guizi said, so he changed his mind and didn't come, it's possible?" At this moment, the palace maid Xiaomei on the side opened her mouth to persuade that she was one of Concubine Jing's henchmen and palace maids.

When Concubine Jing heard this, she looked at her fixedly, nodded and said, "Yes, it's very likely." ”

After saying this, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

As the emperor's concubine, she naturally doesn't want the emperor to favor other women, although the emperor made tempting conditions for her to agree to help do this, but in her selfish heart, Concubine Jing didn't want this matter to succeed, now that the emperor is not here, Miss Gu Er's body has revealed that kind of oozing red spots, things are really developing as she hopes, can Concubine Jing not be happy?

Of course, in front of the emperor, she would never show such an expression of herself.

"Has Miss Gu Er's clothes been changed?" Concubine Jing looked at Xiaomei and asked, "Is there anything abnormal about her?" ”

"Not really." Xiaomei thought with a frown.

At this moment, there is a palace

The woman hurriedly ran out of the inner hall and said, "Qi Qi Niang! Miss Gu Er fainted! "Take the medical pit number.

"Fainted?" Concubine Jing was taken aback.

The little palace maid nodded immediately: "Yes, she has fainted, no matter how much the slave screams, she can't wake up." ”

When Concubine Jing heard this, she immediately understood that it must be the medicinal effect of that spoonful of porridge, so Gu Ruoxi fainted.

Hum! She thought that this second lady of the Gu family still had any skills to reach the sky! It turns out that everything just now is just a strong support!

Concubine Jing was proud in her heart, but she said to Xiaomei: "Since she fainted, let her rest in the guest room first!" ”

"Yes, sis!" Xiaomei answered and retreated.

Concubine Jing sat there, racking her brains about how to solve this matter perfectly, first, she couldn't make the emperor suspicious, and second, she wanted to find a way to stuff out the second lady of the ancient family, so that she would never have the possibility of being favored by the emperor in the future!

In other words, she had to find someone to take Gu Ruoxi away, and that person had to be a man.

Who to look for?

Concubine Jing squeezed her brain to think in her heart, and suddenly her eyes lit up!

How did you forget about him? Xuanyuan Yu! Didn't he just ask to marry this second miss Gu in front of everyone in the Qianqing Palace? Wouldn't it be nice to have someone quietly hand over a letter and ask him to pick up Gu Ruoxi?

However, the candidate for the three princesses, the emperor seems to have been decided, not Gu Ruoxi, but Zhang Yan. If she really handed over the letter to Xuanyuan Yu, I am afraid that she would have wronged this second Miss Gu to be small......

Whatever! The third prince loves her so much, he must not let her be wronged!

Concubine Jing made up her mind, and immediately called a trustworthy confidant, explained to her, and ordered her to send a letter to Xuanyuan Yu.

But as soon as the palace maid who delivered the letter left, a eunuch rushed in in front of the door of the Changqiu Palace, and said with a shocked face: "Qi Yu Niangniang, His Royal Highness King Jing has come down!" ”

Concubine Jing had just picked up the teacup and took a sip, when she heard the words, she squirted.

"You, what did you say? King Jing is coming? Why did he come to me? Concubine Jing asked in shock.

"Back to Niangniang, this, the slave doesn't know......" The eunuch was silent for a while, but said hurriedly: "Niangniang, His Royal Highness King Jing's chariot has arrived at the door!" He's going to break in soon! ”

"Breaking in?" Although Concubine Jing was still very flustered when she heard this, she suddenly sneered: "Where am I here, how dare he, a prince, break in?" Isn't he afraid that the emperor will pick his skin? ”

As soon as the words fell, a lazy voice came from the door: "Really? Concubine Jing, it seems that you know the emperor better than me! ”

Concubine Jing's face turned grim, and she hurriedly turned her head.

Xuanyuan Jingxi was dressed in an ink-colored robe, with a jade crown on his head, and his face was cold, and he strode in from outside. Or rather, break in, Changqiu

The palace maids and eunuchs of the palace all followed tremblingly, and no one dared to stop them.

"A bunch of wretched!" Jing Concubine scolded angrily, but turned her head to Xuanyuan Jingxi and asked, "Lord Wang, what are you doing trespassing on my Changqiu Palace?" “

"I'll pick up Xi'er and go back." Xuanyuan Jingxi's words were concise and to the point, straight to the point.

"What?" Concubine Jing didn't understand a little, but it took her a lot of effort to understand that the stream that Xuanyuan Jingxi was talking about was referring to Gu Ruoxi.

"Where are you going to pick up Miss Gu Er?" Concubine Jing asked.

"Go to Cining Palace, the queen mother wants to see her." Xuanyuan Jingxi glanced at Concubine Jing lightly, and said impatiently: "Where are the people, and they are still bothering the mother to show the way!" ”

When Concubine Jing heard this, she gasped for a long time, she glanced at Xuanyuan Jingxi in disbelief, and the anger in her heart gradually surged up, this guy trespassed into her dormitory, and now even the apse has to trespass?

"It seems that Concubine Jing is not ready to show the way, what are you hiding here with Second Miss Gu?" Xuanyuan Jingxi's eyes were cold, and he said coldly: "Or does Concubine Jing think that your mother's father's brother's little fourth-grade adjutant can compete with Jinye Housho?" If you dare to hide his daughter, aren't you afraid that Jinye Hou will demolish your Xuanyuan family? ”

When Concubine Jing heard this, she couldn't help but shudder, she looked at Xuanyuan Jingxi in disbelief, but said in a deep voice: "So what?" The concubine was ordered by the emperor to bring Miss Gu Er back, if Jinye Hou wants to blame, then go to the emperor! Whatever! ”

"Not bad! Very good at passing the buck! Xuanyuan Jingxi glanced at Concubine Jing with a mocking face, and asked coldly, "Niangniang, are you really not going to say it?" ”

Concubine Jing turned her face away, but in her heart there was a war between heaven and man.

To pay or not to pay?

With King Jing's violent and unscrupulous temperament, he came here to snatch away the second lady of the Gu family, that is the best, and when the emperor asks, she will have more reason to shirk her responsibility, isn't it?

However, she has already ordered someone to inform Xuanyuan Yu!

No matter! Solve the matter in front of you first! Who let His Royal Highness King Jing come down just right?

Concubine Jing made up her mind in her heart, but she refused to relax at all in her words, she glared at Xuanyuan Jingxi hatefully and said, "His Royal Highness King Jing, the concubine advises you to leave early!" Before you came, my people had already gone to invite the emperor to come over! When the time comes, he will definitely be furious when he sees you trespassing into the Changqiu Palace! ”

Is this a reminder that the emperor is coming? Xuanyuan Jingxi hooked the corners of his mouth to show a smile, and in the next moment, the saber on his waist was in his hand, and before the palace people could react, Xueliang's sword blade was already on the neck of a palace maid.

"Ahh His Royal Highness King Jing spares his life! Spare your life! "That palace maid is Xiaomei, Xuanyuan Jingxi's move frightened her and she almost fainted.

"His Royal Highness King Jing, what do you want to do?" Jing Concubine shouted in shock, shouting and retreating, but her heart was full of joy.

I didn't expect that His Royal Highness King Jing is still very good!

Xuanyuan Jingxi sneered, and shouted coldly at Xiaomei: "Where is Xi'er, why don't you show the way to this king?" If you don't say it, this king wants your dog's life! ”

"Jing, His Royal Highness King Jing, Miss Gu Er is here, and the guest room is ......," Xiaomei replied tremblingly.

"Lead the way!" Xuanyuan Jingxi said coldly.

"Yes, Lord Wang!" Xiaomei was so frightened that she was about to cry, but she saw that Concubine Jing retreated so far, the palace people and eunuchs in the Changqiu Palace were all around Concubine Jing, and no one was willing to protect herself, in order to survive, she could only follow Xuanyuan Jingxi's wishes.

Putting aside Xuanyuan Jingxi's identity, he himself has a good martial arts, and the sword on his body is also a peerless sword, which eunuch palace person in this palace doesn't want to live anymore and dares to rush up to stop him?

Soon, Xiaomei took Xuanyuan Jingxi all the way to Gu Ruoxi's changing room, but she stood at the door and didn't dare to enter.

Concubine Jing also ran over accompanied by the palace people, but she stood far away and didn't dare to approach.

"The brook is inside?" Xuanyuan Jingxi asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, yes......" Xiaomei replied tremblingly.

Xuanyuan Jingxi withdrew the long sword in his hand, and when Xiaomei was just relieved, he flew his fingers and quickly clicked on her acupoint.

"Wait for the next person to be out there, and this king will come out to settle accounts with you!" Xuanyuan Jingxi snorted coldly, left Xiaomei and pushed open the door in front of him and walked in.

As soon as he entered, he smelled a sweet aroma.

Xuanyuan Jingxi's face immediately sank, his eyes looked around, and when he saw the incense burning in the incense burner in the corner, he immediately rushed over and kicked it over, and said angrily outside the door: "Dignified concubine, you actually made such an unsightly little trick!" ”

Not far from the door, Concubine Jing stood across a flower tree, but Xuanyuan Jingxi's voice was still clear, word for word came into her ears, and she couldn't help shrinking her neck.
