Chapter 394: The Old Lady Princess's Past
And at this moment, the voices of Concubine Jing and the maid who entered the inner room also came at the same time, and the maid's panicked voice shouted Concubine Jing, "Niangniang, Niangniang!" What's wrong with you, Miss! ”
When Ruan Xuchen rushed over, he saw Concubine Jing spitting blood from her mouth and falling into the maid's arms.
Sure enough, Concubine Jing's wine also has a problem!
Just now, Ruan Xuchen felt that Concubine Jing had been drinking, but Concubine Jing's condition just now was fine, she didn't think much about it, she didn't expect it......
Concubine Jing was in the maid's arms, "You ...... You already knew...... Will my dad do it? Ahem......"
While speaking, Concubine Jing's mouth still had blood flowing out.
Squatting beside Concubine Jing and seeing Concubine Jing's appearance, Ruan Xuchen was silent for a moment before saying, "Yes, we thought that Rong Xian would send someone to kill, but we didn't expect it to be so fast...... Not only did the killer poison him! It was my fault that I didn't anticipate this possibility. ”
A miserable smile froze on Concubine Jing's face, and she said with a smile, "I knew early on that I would have such consequences, since the time I entered the palace, my father said that once I entered the palace, I can only control everything by myself, and there is no other possibility." ”
It's just that Concubine Jing never thought that Rong Xian would really be willing to do it.
She thought that there was still some friendship between father and daughter.
I thought that Concubine Jing would definitely die, but Concubine Jing was okay except for spitting blood in her mouth, the whole person was sober, and her face was not pale, Concubine Jing was in the maid's arms, and chuckled, "The queen is really prescient." ”
As she spoke, Concubine Jing took out a small porcelain bottle from her arms.
If Ruan Cailing saw it, she would be able to recognize it, this is the antidote pill made by Meng Tianlong for the emperor and queen, but I didn't expect that Ming Yuxuan had already helped Concubine Jing stay, and before drinking, Concubine Jing had already drunk the medicine.
In the end, the poison did not enter Concubine Jing's heart smoothly, she just vomited blood.
The maid hurriedly wiped the poisonous blood off her cheeks, and Ruan Xuchen saw that Concubine Jing was fine, so she was relieved and got up to go out.
"How?" Mu Bai and Gu Jinxi asked anxiously.
Ruan Xuchen raised his hand, "It's okay, Concubine Jing has eaten the antidote pill sent by the queen mother before, and she has no worries about her life, just ask Uncle Long to come and see it tomorrow." ”
That's good, Ruan Cailing agreed to Dong Li to take Concubine Jing out after all, if Concubine Jing really died like this, how should Ruan Cailing tell Dong Li.
Perhaps, Dong Li will completely lose the meaning of survival.
As long as people don't die.
The person who had just been subdued by Mu Bai was still kneeling on the ground, and the poison that remained in his teeth had been removed, and this person could not die for the time being.
Gu Jinxi said, "Since everyone has been caught, our mission will be completed, but at this time, we will definitely not be able to get out, stay in the palace for one night, and Concubine Jing will completely disappear from this world tomorrow." ”
"Hmm."
In the early morning of the next day, Ruan Cailing almost didn't sleep all night, and when she came out for breakfast, Gu Qushi looked at Ruan Cailing's face was not good, and helped her fill a bowl of porridge and said worriedly, "Ling'er, Jinxi and your brother will be fine, you can't worry too much, your face is too ugly!" ”
Ruan Cailing held her forehead and looked a little tired, and said lightly, "It's okay, mother, you don't have to worry, by the way, Daddy said that he would take you to Jiangnan for a tour, when will you leave, have you decided?" ”
Originally, Gu Yu had no intention of going to court, and he had long wanted to retire and give his identity to Gu Jinxi.
But recently, there has been a lot of turmoil in the court, and he can't mention it to the emperor at all, and Mu Yizuo is the new emperor who has ascended the throne.
Gu Yu didn't dare to leave easily.
Even the Emperor Taishang said that Gu Yu and Ruan Qi would leave as soon as they could.
After Ruan Cailing had breakfast, she went to the ancestral hall to find the old princess.
"Grandmother, I heard Grandma Sun say that you ate a piece of hibiscus cake and drank a bowl of soy milk in the morning, what's wrong, do you have a bad appetite? Why did you eat so much? Ruan Cailing knelt beside the old princess.
After the old lady and princess put on the incense, she still knelt.
"People are old, and they are full after two bites, but you, I recently heard that your health is not good, and you are afraid that I will worry and dare not come to see me, how is it, are you better?" The old lady and princess glanced sideways at Ruan Cailing.
From the eyes of the old lady and princess, Ruan Cailing saw an old man's tolerance for juniors.
In fact, Ruan Cailing has long felt that the old princess actually knows everything, everything they do can't escape the eyes of the old princess, they kill people and save people, everything they do is for the court, for themselves, for everything, the old princess seems to be like watching a play.
But she was an extremely intelligent old man who never spoke.
If the old lady and princess didn't have this kind of wisdom, how could she sit in the position of Princess Xuan for so many years?
Ruan Cailing heard about it from Gu Qu's side.
Lao Xuan Wang also has some wives and concubines, some are rewarded by the emperor, and many are stuffed in by other officials, although the old princess is deeply loved by Lao Xuan, but most men in the world like gentle and lovely women, and they like beautiful women even more.
It's impossible not to have a heart for someone else for decades.
But the old princess has always sat firmly in the position of the princess, and even the original emperor told the old king Xuan that no one can shake the position of the old princess!
It can be seen that the old lady and princess are in a hurry.
Today's court is no different from back then, it is all swords and swords.
The old princess is used to seeing everything.
She was helped up by Ruan Cailing, raised her hand and patted the back of Ruan Cailing's hand, still in a kind and kind voice, "I, when I was young, I had the same personality as you, the harem and even our palace, everything had to be worried, just because of my special identity, but there are many things that cannot be solved directly, so ah, it is even more annoying." ”
But she has always liked to pretend to be deaf and dumb.
Once, when court officials stuffed people into King Xuan's mansion, they still said that it was for the concubine of King Xuan.
But that person was not a fuel-efficient lamp at first glance, and when he came to serve tea to the old princess, he also had a cold face, and there was a kind of 'I will replace you'.
If it were another woman, I wouldn't have been able to bear it for a long time, but who is the old princess?
When you bring tea, you drink it steadily.
The man sneered, saying that the prince was in her room, or that he had rewarded her with something, and the old princess gave her something more valuable in the blink of an eye.
And said that this was rewarded by the emperor and the prince.
The meaning is simple.
I have what you have, I also have what you don't have, and I have a lot of things rewarded by the emperor and the prince, and it is not your turn to show off here.
In addition to his love for the old lady and princess, the prince respects her.
Even if King Lao Xuan has passed away for many years now, the old princess is still full of old things when she mentions King Xuan.
That's what she always called the old prince.
After all, they are the couple.
The old lady and princess dare to do whatever others don't care about.
Ruan Cailing smiled when she heard the old princess say this, she was indeed very similar to herself, she was always not afraid of Gu Jinxi.
It was the same in previous lives.
There were so many women who followed Gu Jinxi in her previous life, everyone liked Gu Jinxi, and they were also afraid of Gu Jinxi, because Gu Jinxi was ruthless.
But Ruan Cailing is just not afraid.
In her previous life, Ruan Cailing did not have the ability she has now, nor does she have the courage she has now, but Ruan Cailing is not afraid.
Most of the time, she will also give advice to Gu Jinxi.
Maybe Gu Jinxi will fall in love with her for this reason!
Seeing Ruan Cailing's smile, the old princess knew that Ruan Cailing remembered about herself and her grandson, and how she liked Ruan Cailing, her granddaughter-in-law.
Because Ruan Cailing is full of Gu Jinxi.
The old princess said, "Men like to be gentle and beautiful, but they don't like to be too smart, because for men, women who are too smart will overshadow their edge, especially men like Jinxi, but Ling'er is very smart and very distinctive." ”
"Huh? What does it mean to be distinctive? Ruan Cailing asked with a smile.
"You seem to know what to know, you are smart when you should be smart, and you are faster than anyone else when you should be stupid." The old princess said.
In terms of pretending to be stupid, no one can compare to Ruan Cailing.
She smiled embarrassedly, "Grandmother said this, because she thinks I'm not smart enough, and I still need my grandmother to wake me up for some things." ”
"Do you know why I'm here to be?" The old princess said again.
This made Ruan Cailing stunned, not understanding what the old princess meant.
Helping the old princess to sit down, I heard her cough lightly and said, "I know that you are always unwell because you are overworked, and your daughter-in-law is also worried about you. ”
In the old age of the old princess, she began to enjoy happiness.
The number of people in the palace is getting more and more day by day, although the purpose of that group of women approaching the prince is not pure, but she doesn't care.
Since she is here, she can't be the only one who pays for the palace and worries about the palace.
So she divided the affairs of the palace, everyone took care of the same, and then verified it every month, so that not only would there be no problems, but in order not to become the target of public criticism, she would do a good job.
"At that time, the relationship in the court was even more complicated than now, the prince needed me in the previous dynasty, and the palace was our home, so I couldn't help but worry, I didn't have a sister like your family Qingtian, there was only one person, plus the grandmother next to me, I could only rely on myself."
She gave away her rights, but not just to one person.
Let everyone hold each other accountable.
All of them have a tie-down connection.
Since then, the old princess has been much more economical.
Hearing the old princess talk about the past, Ruan Cailing realized how difficult it is to govern a family.
Fortunately, the current emperor will not give Gu Jinxi people, and the officials of the imperial court will not dare, and there will be no other people between her and Gu Jinxi.
Ruan Cailing is indeed a little selfish, she can't allow Gu Jinxi to have three wives and four concubines, she can only let him have his own person in his heart.
