Chapter 139: Retreat as Advance
The next day, when Gu Qingyi woke up, there was no one around him, and he asked the slave maid to find out that King Qin was performing martial arts. He has always had the habit of morning exercises, and yesterday because she was unconscious, he stayed by the bedside.
Thinking of everything last night, Gu Qingyi was stunned for a while, and then got up under the service of Qiu Yan and Han Dong, and waited until she finished washing up, and the dining room prepared breakfast, and still didn't see King Qin come back, she had to send the little maid to ask, "You ask, if the prince is coming back for dinner." ”
The little maid came back soon, "Princess Niangniang, someone is in the palace, the prince lets you eat by yourself, you don't have to wait for him." ”
It seems that the saint sent someone to inquire about the situation.
Thinking that King Qin was punished because of her, Gu Qingyi suddenly lost her appetite, but for the sake of the child in her womb, she still forced herself to eat a lot of things. The dishes and chopsticks were put down, and Dr. Zhou came again, and he still had a bowl of medicine in his hand, which was not the familiar fetal medicine.
"Doctor Zhou, what is this?"
Doctor Zhou handed the medicine to Han Dong and replied, "Princess Niangniang, this is the tranquilizing medicine that the prince ordered the villain to boil this morning." ”
Gu Qingyi was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect that King Qin didn't give up her idea, and still instructed Dr. Zhou to boil medicine for her, and it was also said that no one could change what he decided, even if she refused, it would be useless.
"It's a three-point poison, I'm fine, I don't have to drink it."
"This ......" Doctor Zhou was a little embarrassed, "the prince has ordered, princess, you must drink it." ”
Gu Qingyi's stubborn temper came up, and he poured it directly into the flower pot, and looked at Doctor Zhou with an inexplicable meaning, "You can go and reply to the prince, just say that I have already drunk the medicine." ”
Doctor Zhou was sweating profusely, he didn't dare to anger the princess, and he was even more afraid of lying to King Qin, so he was so anxious that he hurriedly threw his eyes at Mama Xu for help.
Mama Xu had a good impression of Dr. Zhou, and knew that the princess had been frightened and unconscious the day before yesterday, thinking that she was angry with King Qin, so she hurriedly persuaded, "Princess, the princess is also for your good, why don't you drink the tranquilizer." ”
Gu Qingyi sighed, "Don't persuade me, I have my own decision." ”
Until then, all her nightmares were in the baby in her womb, and all these worries dissipated after the baby's movements. And the reason why I had nightmares in these two days was nothing more than because I was frightened by King Qin. If he could restrain his temper, why would she drink medicine?
Mama Xu already knew something about her current temperament, and knew that she couldn't be admonished in this matter, so she had to shake her head helplessly at Dr. Zhou, who suddenly had a bitter face, and didn't know how to tell King Qin.
Gu Qingyi didn't care how Dr. Zhou would reply, and directly waved his hand to let him retreat, originally thinking that King Qin was not there and could be idle, but there was a noise outside, and she immediately frowned.
"What's going on out there?" Mama Xu hurriedly asked.
The maid who opened the curtain at the door hurriedly reported, "Mama Xu, it's the girls from the backyard who came, saying that they were looking for the princess." ”
"What are they doing here? The prince said that if there is no summons, they must not disturb the peace of the princess, but they have eaten leopard gall and dare to make noise in Jiyue Courtyard. Mama Xu almost didn't write her disgust on her face, she glanced at Gu Qingyi, saw that she looked dazed, and had no intention of summoning, so she immediately said, "The princess is unwell, I don't have time to see them, let them go back." ”
The little maid hurriedly responded, but before she went out to finish speaking, instead of leaving, someone shouted in the courtyard, "Princess Niangniang, you want to make decisions for the slaves and maids." ”
Mama Xu was so angry, "It's just a nameless girl at the time, and she is still wild in Jiyue Courtyard, princess, you have to set up rules for them." ”
Gu Qingyi's face sank into the water, "Call someone in." ”
She wanted to see what the gang was trying to do.
As soon as they entered the lobby, they knelt down to Gu Qingyi, who was sitting on the top, and pleaded guilty, "The slaves disturbed the princess and the princess, and asked the lady to punish her." ”
Gu Qingyi was disgusted by their fake appearance of wanting to advance and retreat, and did not call people up as they wished, her eyes were indifferent, and her voice was cold, "Say, you guys are making trouble in Jiyue Courtyard, what is the so-called matter." ”
The group of people was not called, their bodies shook, and their kneeling posture became more and more pitiful. The one who replied was the head of everyone, Jiang Yuanyao, her eyes were slightly red, the mist was filled, but her voice was as crisp as a ball falling on a jade plate, "Princess Niangniang, please forgive me, we have to offend you, we are really being mistreated, if we don't show you this, it won't take long for us to freeze to death." ”
Gu Qingyi's eyes were cold, "What's the matter?" ”
Jiang Yuanyao looked up at Mama Xu, she seemed to be very jealous, she wanted to speak and stopped, and she was very embarrassed, Gu Qingyi's expression was even colder, and she really came for her.
Since the other party intended to pretend, Gu Qingyi was not in a hurry, Shi Shiran leaned on the pillow on the back of the chair, and was too calm - the soldiers came to block, the water came to cover the earth, and it was not her who was most anxious at this time.
Kneeling on the ground is not a comfortable thing, this group of delicate girls showed a look of pain when the house was very open, Jiang Yuanyao didn't expect the other party to sit still so much, no longer pretending to be mysterious, and hurriedly said, "Princess Niangniang Mingjian, last month, the house distributed autumn and winter clothes, and it looked like there was nothing wrong, until the weather was cold in the past two days, we found out the undergarment to keep out the cold, although the clinker this year's jacket was heavier than in previous years, but it could not resist the wind and cold, the slave and maid had the courage to take a look and found that the jacket was not cotton wool, but catkins that did not have the effect of keeping out the cold. Princess Niangniang, this is clearly someone who has filled his own pockets and is shoddy, and please find out the truth and make decisions for us. ”
Gu Qingyi knocked on the chair handle, "Where is the undergarment?" ”
"The slave and maid have been brought, so they are waiting outside the courtyard, and they are also asked to summon the princess."
Gu Qingyi chuckled, but the smile didn't reach the bottom of his eyes, "Biography." ”
But in the blink of an eye, a maid walked in with a jacket in her arms, and kowtowed to Gu Qingyi tremblingly, "Slave Momei, I've seen the princess." ”
Gu Qingyi asked her to get up, "Whose slave are you?" ”
Mo Mei glanced at the master who was still kneeling on the ground, and her face turned even paler, "Back to the princess's mother, it is Miss Jiang who is serving the slave." ”
Gu Qingyi nodded and asked her to bring her undergarment. The seams of the hem of the undergarment were disassembled, revealing the white flocculent inside, Gu Qingyi took it out and found that the filling inside was indeed catkins.
Putting the undergarment aside, Gu Qingyi looked at the group of women kneeling on the ground and asked, "Your undergarments are also like Jiang Yuanyao, they are all catkins filling?" ”
Everyone should be in unison, "If the princess doesn't believe it, even if you let people go for spot checks, I just hope that the princess can make decisions for us and not let us suffer this grievance in vain." ”
"Not necessarily." Gu Qingyi coldly refused, since she came prepared, how could she leave loopholes, she asked directly, "Who is responsible for distributing this year's autumn and winter clothes." ”
Mama Xu knelt down suddenly, her face was pale, "Back to the princess, it was issued by the slave." ”
Sure enough, it was for her.
Gu Qingyi knew Mama Xu, even if she hated this group of girls whose identities were unknown, she would not deduct their share, after all, they had just arrived, and it was too late to make a reputation, so why bother lowering their worth to trouble them?
Maybe I've found someone else's way.
"Mama, the cotton wool in the jacket has turned into catkins, do you know what's going on?"
Mama Xu kowtowed, "Princess Niangniang Mingjian, after the winter clothes of the girls in the house were bought, the slaves and maids have personally checked them, and they are filled with cotton wool Undoubtedly, and now they have become catkins, someone is definitely going to frame the slaves and maids, and ask the princess to be the master of the slaves and maids." ”
Jiang Yuanyao glanced up at Mama Xu with a sad expression, "Listen to Mama's meaning, are we going to frame you?" ”
Mama Xu didn't speak, but the look in her eyes was enough to explain everything.
Jiang Yuanyao's eyes were red, and the tears brewing in her eyes finally fell, she bowed to Gu Qingyi Yingying, and choked up, "Princess Niangniang, the slave knows that she is inferior, and she is not as noble as your nurse Mama Xu, since she said that she issued a cotton jacket, it should be regarded as a cotton jacket." If you embarrass the princess because of the mistakes of the slaves and maids, the slaves and maids will be to blame even if they die. ”
"Sister Jiang!"
The others didn't seem to expect Jiang Yuanyao to say this, and immediately screamed in disbelief, but Jiang Yuanyao looked at them stubbornly, and forced a smile, "Sisters, we don't need to go out in winter, just hide from the cold in the house, why embarrass the princess." ”
Listening to her words, those girls were both angry and sad, and when they looked at Gu Qingyi again, they were already resentful and unwilling, although they wanted to seek justice, but they felt that Jiang Yuanyao was reasonable, they couldn't even compare to Mama Xu's fingers, how could they let the princess administer justice for them.
Immediately learned from Jiang Yunyao to kowtow and admit her mistake, "It's the slaves and maids who are wrong, please forgive the princess." ”
Gu Qingyi looked at the scene they staged, and was immediately laughed angrily, and her cold gaze fell on Jiang Yunyao, and her voice was like a cold stream, "Jiang Yuanyao, what do you mean, is this concubine going to shield the nurse and deduct your money?" ”
Saying that I don't want to embarrass her, it's just a means of retreating and advancing, otherwise they wouldn't have made trouble here! If she really suppressed this time, maybe her reputation for shielding the nurse, treating the maids of the palace poorly, and being vicious and jealous would spread.
What a vicious mind.
Jiang Yuanyao hurriedly bowed her head, "The slave doesn't dare, the princess and the princess are well aware of righteousness and compassionate, how can they deduct our share, it's just that the subordinates took advantage of your recuperation to deceive the superiors and subordinates and damage your reputation." ”
This is about to start coercion, so Gu Qingyi has to admit Mama Xu's crime and cut off her right hand. She gave Gu Qingyi two choices, reputation or nursing mother, and calculated in every possible way, but she was really cunning and sinister.
Gu Qingyi suddenly sneered, where did Jiang Yunyao get her confidence, she felt that she would be forced to have no way out, so she could only choose one of the two?
