Chapter 194: Murder in the Shadows

Gu Qingyi could detect Shao Yanjin's gaze, but she noticed that she had too much line of sight, she didn't want to cause trouble, she didn't squint the whole time, and finished the celebration of the ministers with difficulty.

It's just that she didn't expect that she was stopped by Shao Yanjin after the banquet, and inexplicably instructed her, "Be careful of the prince." ”

Shao Yanjin's personality has changed dramatically recently, and Gu Qingyi thought that he was stimulated by the news of Yan Shunhua's death, but when he learned that he had taken refuge with the prince and was doing things for the prince, he became uncertain again - after all, compared to the future, a dead woman would have no impact at all.

It's just that he has now become the prince's person, and reminded her to be careful of what kind of business the prince is?

Gu Qingyi suppressed the strangeness in her heart, and cautiously didn't say much, "Thank you Shao Shizi for reminding me, if there is nothing else, I will go first, and it will inevitably lead to misunderstandings if lonely men and widows stay together." ”

Shao Yanjin wanted to say something, but the call of the county lord of Yu'an came from afar, and a look of forbearance flashed on his face, but he didn't say anything after all, but retreated to the side and watched Gu Qingyi leave.

Gu Qingyi didn't take this episode to heart, and continued to close the door, before Shao Huiwan would occasionally come to the mansion to see her, but since her marriage with King Qi was decided, she concentrated on staying in the mansion to prepare for marriage, except for correspondence, there was no chance to see her.

Although she couldn't go out, Gu Qingyi was not lonely, and stayed with Xiao Tuanzi all the time, so when Xiao Tuanzi was abnormal, she noticed something was wrong as soon as possible.

Xiao Tuanzi has always been well-behaved, but this day he was crying unnormally, and his body even had an abnormally high fever, Gu Qingyi thought that Xiao Tuanzi was catching a cold like last time, so he immediately ordered Han Dong, "Xiao Tuanzi is not in good health, call Dr. Zhou quickly." ”

Doctor Zhou hurriedly came, and after diagnosing Xiao Tuanzi, he frowned, "Princess, the little county lord has been exposed to unclean things, and the fever caused by external evils is high. ”

Gu Qingyi's face sank instantly, "The people and things that come into contact with Xiaotuanzi today, give me a thorough investigation!" ”

Xiao Tuanzi had an accident, and she suspected the prince for the first time.

Shao Yanjin reminded her at the palace banquet to be careful of the prince, Gu Qingyi didn't take it seriously at all, because she didn't need him to remind her, she had always been on guard, but she never expected that under her strict guard, the prince could still put his hand into King Qin's mansion and murder Xiao Tuanzi.

The child is weak, he was sick again a while ago, and it is not uncommon for him to fall ill again at this time, if it weren't for Gu Qingyi discovering that something was wrong with Xiao Tuanzi in time, and Dr. Zhou was very skilled, he thought she was catching a cold like last time.

It is now certain that there is an inner ghost around her.

Yujingyuan entered a state of first-level alert, the clothes and utensils that Xiao Tuanzi came into contact with were all checked, and Gu Qingyi and the two nurses were not left behind, but they didn't find any problems on their bodies, as if Xiao Tuanzi's high fever was just sudden.

Gu Qingyi didn't believe this result, and continued to ask, "How are the two nurses eating?" Did they eat anything unclean? ”

Mama Xu had already asked people to check it, and hurriedly said, "Princess, Mama Guo and Mama Yang's meals are all separated from your share, and no problems have been found." ”

Gu Qingyi's eyes fell on Mama Guo and Mama Yang, these two were raised plump and white because they used the princess's share, their faces were ruddy, they looked healthy and energetic, and they didn't look like servants at all. Their net worth and disgrace are tied to the little county lord, and their faces are all anxious at this time, but Gu Qingyi is keenly aware that in addition to being anxious, Mama Guo also has a trace of anxiety and uneasiness that is not easy to detect, her eyes flickering and wandering, and she feels uncomfortable under her gaze.

If you have a ghost in your heart, you will be afraid of the scrutiny of others.

"Mama Guo."

Coldly called by her name, Mama Guo was obviously startled, and when she met Gu Qingyi's sharp gaze, she realized that her reaction seemed to be too big, and she quickly lowered her eyes and said softly, "The slave is here, I don't know what the princess commands?" ”

Gu Qingyi's face was extremely ugly, and she said directly to Mama Xu, "Mama, leave her behind, check inside and out." ”

Mama Guo's face turned pale, and it could be seen that she was holding on to her composure, and Mama Xu also noticed that something was wrong, and immediately escorted someone to the back of the screen, and soon came out with a blue face, and she was still holding a plain belly pocket in her hand, "Princess, Mama Guo's belly pocket is stained with unclean things, which seems to be the thick phlegm of a seriously ill person." ”

Mama Guo wants to feed Xiao Tuanzi, there is thick phlegm on her belly pocket, and Xiao Tuanzi will be infected with diseases when she feeds, such a silent method can be described as extremely ruthless.

The people in the room all changed color, Gu Qingyi was even more angry and trembling, and went directly to flash a slap from Mama Guo, her eyes were red, "Say, what is the illness of a person who coughs up phlegm?" ”

If it is an incurable disease, how can her little group survive? Thinking of the possible result, Gu Qingyi's heart was boiling, and the whole person was as uncomfortable as a fire, and she couldn't wait to eat Mama Guo alive.

Gu Qingyi's slap was not light at all, Mama Guo was beaten to the ground, bursts of tinnitus, it took a long time to come back to her senses, knelt on the ground, and summoned her voice tremblingly, "The princess spares her life, the slave and maid know that it is wrong, and the slave and maid are also forced to do so, a man in black grabbed the slave's son and threatened the slave and maid to take the initiative against Xiaojun, the slave and maid are such a son, they can't watch him have an accident, they can only agree to the other party's request." It's just that the slave and maid have also taken care of the little county lord for so long, and the princess is kind and kind, and the slave and maid have no reason to take the life of the little county lord, so the thick phlegm of the person with lung disease provided by the person was quietly replaced by the slave and maid, just an ordinary wind and cold patient, and the slave and maid only want to be able to deceive the other party so as to save their son. Princess, for the sake of the slave and maid not causing a big mistake, you can bypass the slave and save the slave's son. ”

"You hurt my little group, and you still want to beg for forgiveness, is it really muddy to be a concubine?" Gu Qingyi sneered, not at all grateful for her so-called kindness, if she was really the center and felt sorry for Xiao Tuanzi, she shouldn't have agreed to that person to murder, if she reported the situation to her in time, why would there be today's result?

Thinking of Xiao Tuanzi's unwarranted disaster, her heart was even more angry, "Mama Xu, hand over the people to the Feng guards and let him thoroughly investigate the people behind the scenes." ”

Mama Guo was quickly taken down, leaving Mama Yang trembling in place, Gu Qingyi's gaze just fell on her, and she immediately knelt down in fright, "Princess, the slave maid swears to the sky that she has never been unfavorable to the little county lord, please let the princess know and spare the slave and maid's crime of poor supervision." ”

Yes, Mama Guo and Mama Yang live in the same room, she didn't find Mama Guo's abnormality, it can be said to be an accomplice in the serious, and at the slightest is poor supervision, so she will be implicated.

Gu Qingyi didn't believe in the fluttering oath at all, and asked Mama Yang to check it again to make sure that she was really innocent, and her face was a little gentle. It was not a wise move to change the nurse at this time, she had to appease Mama Yang, "Mama Yang, I was offended, it's just an extraordinary period, I can't help but be careless with this concubine, so let's take your family into the mansion later, it just so happens that your daughter is not very old, and she can also be a playmate for Xiaotuanzi." ”

When Mama Yang heard this, instead of resentment, she kowtowed gratefully, "Thank you for the grace of the princess, the slave maid will let people bring the letter back, let the slave and maid pack up their things and take the child to live in the palace." ”

After listening to Mama Guo's statement, she was terrified, afraid that her family would also be threatened by others, if she could live in the palace, it would be safe, not to mention that her daughter could grow up with the little county lord, with the princess's style of acting, she would definitely let her daughter eat and live with the little county lord, which is a blessing that others can't ask for!

Gu Qingyi waved her hand and let her go down, and anxiously returned to the warm pavilion, Mrs. Zhou was looking at Xiao Tuanzi, and when she saw her coming back, she asked, "How is it, have you found out?" ”

"Someone secretly contacted Mama Guo to do tricks, and I'm not sure who is behind the scenes, but I suspect that it can't be separated from the prince." Gu Qingyi explained simply, lowered her head to probe Xiao Tuanzi's body temperature, she was still very hot, and she hummed uncomfortably in her sleep, which made her feel so distressed, "Auntie, how is Xiao Tuanzi's condition, when will the fever subside?" ”

Mrs. Zhou's distress didn't have to worry about Qingyi at all, she tucked the quilt for Xiao Tuanzi, and it was difficult to hide her worry between her eyebrows, "Xiao Tuanzi is young after all, and she doesn't want to drink medicine, so I reluctantly fed her some to drink, and fell asleep crying, and when I woke up, I refused to drink medicine, and the situation was probably more difficult." ”

Gu Qingyi hurriedly said, "Let's boil another bowl, I'll drink it, and it will be the same to feed Xiaotuanzi when the time comes." ”

"Thank you for your hard work."

Mrs. Zhou did not refuse, and asked her to bring another bowl of medicine, Gu Qingyi drank the black and bitter decoction without blinking her eyes - in the past, she couldn't stand the suffering of the decoction the most, but now she is strong as a mother, and she can even endure the bitter decoction.

Gu Qingyi's method of drinking medicine and then feeding was right, Xiao Tuanzi's condition gradually improved, and after half a month, he finally got rid of the medicine and regained his vitality, but he was just the messenger behind the murder of Xiao Tuanzi, but there was no progress.

Feng Ming took the blame, Gu Qingyi had already expected it, "The other party only sent irrelevant people to contact, and then disposed of the people, it's normal that you can't find it, I probably know in my heart, it is the top priority to tie the fence of the Qin Palace, you take someone to investigate, see if there are any suspects in the palace, but if you find it, you will be imprisoned, and you will wait for the prince to come back." ”

Feng Ming nodded with a serious expression, "Yes, my subordinates know." ”

After this incident, the Qin Palace's garrison became stricter, and the subordinates were even more peaceful, and no abnormal things happened, and the palace was settled on the surface.
