Chapter 21: Something Happened

After staying in the villa for a week, Gu Qing was already familiar with this place, in addition to running around with Ke Lan, he was going to the princess to accompany him for dinner, and Yan Ze was also temporarily called away because of official business.

"What is Qingqing thinking? Aren't you thinking about the prince? Looking at Gu Qing, who was in a daze while eating, Gu Ning teased.

Although Gu Qing was really thinking about what Yan Ze was doing, she couldn't admit it in front of other people's wives: "No, I'm thinking about how this beef jerky tastes a little weird today." ”

Gu Ning tasted a piece, well, today's jerky is a little wet, "Maybe it's the reason for the humid weather on the mountain, let the jerky get wet, and wait for someone to take out your jerky and dry it, so as not to get moldy." ”

"Oh." Gu Qing thought about going back and arranged.

"What are you going to do this afternoon?" Gu Ning thought that Gu Qing had nothing to do all day long, and it was not good to run all over the mountain, so he thought about arranging something for Gu Qing to do. "The lunar day of the princess and concubine is also coming, why don't you copy a little Buddhist scriptures, and when the time comes to go to the sacrifice, you can burn it to her together."

"Huh? I don't write very well. Gu Qing replied awkwardly, just her chicken claw-like words, it was too hard to handle. Or I'd better do something else! ”

"It's okay, the word is to practice more, it will be good. I'll ask Mama Liu to send you some when I turn around. Gu Ning said.

Now that the princess has spoken, Gu Qing has no choice but to take over the project aggrievedly.

In the next few days, Gu Qing began his own calligraphy practice.

"Fangcao, Fangcao, see if I'm much better than before." Because the words are so ugly, Gu Qing is embarrassed to bother the princess with her broken words.

This made Gu Qing's maid beside him suffer, "Auntie, your words are indeed much better, every word before looked the same, and now the slaves and maids can see the difference!" With a word, the balls slapped the horse's ass and slapped the horse's leg.

"You know anything, you don't know a word, go and go." Gu Qing doesn't know this illiterate person in general, hum. "Fangcao, you show me."

Fangcao put down the things in her hand, picked up the words written by Gu Qing, and said, "Well, my aunt has indeed made great progress. ”

With Fangcao's approval, Gu Qing was finally satisfied, "Then let's show this to the princess." ”

"Okay, do you want to bring beef jerky?" Yerba asked.

Gu Qing thought about it, she hadn't been there for four days, and the princess should have finished eating it early, "Bring it, the princess likes to eat, bring all my inventory." ”

Gu Qing took her things and happily walked towards the princess's courtyard, thinking about how to accept the princess's praise tactfully for a while.

"What's going on?" As soon as Gu Qing walked to the door, he saw that the princess's courtyard was surrounded by soldiers.

Recently, Gu Qing has been practicing calligraphy, and she hasn't even gone out much with the maids around her, so she doesn't know what's wrong with the princess.

"This eldest brother, may I ask what is wrong with the princess? My aunt wants to say hello to the princess. "It's still Fangcao who has seen the world, and the first time he took the money bag and went to the guard at the door.

The guard weighed the bag in his hand and said, "I know that your aunt and the princess have a good relationship, but now the princess is sick and needs to recuperate." ”

"Is the princess sick?" Gu Qing leaned forward, "Wasn't it okay a few days ago?" ”

"If you go back to your aunt, the minions don't know what's going on?" The guards thought that Gu Qing was the most favored by the prince's side, so his tone was not as unpleasant as the person who came before.

Thinking that the princess was sick, Gu Qing felt that she should go and take a look, "Can I go in and take a look at the princess?" ”

"The slave was ordered by Mama Liu, who was next to the princess, to guard the door, and at present, it is said that no one can be allowed in." The guard said apologetically.

"Ah, it's Aunt Gu!" At this time, Yiren came out from behind Gu Qing.

Seeing that it was a person, the guards saluted, "Auntie, you are here." Hurry up and open the door. ”

"Why can she go in?" Gu Qing thought that everyone couldn't go in, but why did he let people go as soon as they came.

The guard replied: "Aunt Yi is ordered by the princess, of course, you can come and go at will. ”

"I'm sorry, Aunt Gu, the princess has been sick these days, and she needs to be served by the slave and maid herself." Yiren said with a smile.

Gu Qing thought about how Yiren said before, she was also the princess's favorite girl, and now as long as she was let in, she seemed to be able to understand, "Okay then!" By the way, this is the beef jerky I gave to the princess, you can help me bring it in! ”

Yiren looked at the beef jerky, his eyes flashed, "Okay, then I'll go in first." ”

couldn't get in, so Gu Qing had to go back with someone

"Auntie, according to the slave, you shouldn't give things to Yiren, who knows if she will do anything to things!" Thinking of Yiren's contemptuous appearance just now, Maruko was a little angry.

Gu Qing didn't think it was so poisonous, after all, she had been in the palace for so long, and she hadn't heard of any framing or anything like that, "Don't worry, it's okay." The palace is so peaceful, how can there be so many conspiracy theories, this is all managed by the princess. ”

What Gu Qing doesn't know doesn't mean that Fangcao doesn't know, Gu Qing was poisoned before, and the origin is vivid.

Back in the room, Gu Qing had nothing to do, thinking that the beef jerky was a little wet before, so he ordered the meatballs to take out the jerky and dry it.

In the afternoon, Gu Qing thought that the Buddhist scriptures had been copied, and she felt that she was still writing well, so she went to take a nap.

"Maruko, come here." Ever since she came back from the princess, she felt that something was wrong with her, and she always felt that she had neglected something.

Maruko put down the jerky, "What's wrong with you?" Did you not sleep well last night? Why don't you go sleep a little longer, it's fine anyway. ”

Fangcao thought about it, it was really nothing, and she was a little distracted, "Okay, I'll go take a nap, if my aunt wakes up, you can come and call me." ”

"Okay, there you go!"

Put down the things, Fangcao went back to the room, it was really tiring to run around the mountain with Gu Qing in the past few days, but I had to rest, if she was sick like the princess, she would not have anyone to guard her.

As soon as she lay down, Fangcao suddenly remembered that the guards guarding the princess Niangniang didn't seem to be the usual guards of the courtyard, it seemed that they were soldiers guarding the outer courtyard, no, if the princess was a common cold or something, wouldn't it be these people who came over, could it be ......

Fangcao scrambled up from the bed, no, something must have happened. Thinking about it, Fangcao quickly got dressed and rushed out.

"Sister Fangcao, what are you doing, didn't you mean sleeping? Why did it get up again? Looking at the fragrant grass rushing out in a hurry, the balls were a little strange.

Fangcao didn't have time to explain anything to Maruko, Fangcao felt that her premonition was very bad, "I have something to go out to see, you just close the door of the yard now, don't open the door easily, you know?" ”

"What? Why? What happened? "Maruko is a little incomprehensible.

"It's okay, you just have to do what I say, I hope I'm thinking too much." After saying that, Fangcao left in a hurry, leaving a blank ball.

"Did you check it out?" In the princess's courtyard here, everyone tensed their nerves, not why, just because of the princess's illness, it was not a cold, but actually poisoning.

The accompanying imperial doctor nodded and said, "It's been tested, and the problem is indeed the beef jerky." ”

"What? Did Aunt Gu really do it? Yiren, who was waiting on the side, exclaimed, "It's not like it, Aunt Gu and the princess are very good, and they are usually very favored by the prince, they shouldn't be!" ”

"If you don't believe in my medical skills, then invite another doctor, just this poison, the old man has been practicing medicine for more than 20 years, and this is not the first time he has encountered this."

"Slaves and maids naturally believe in the Imperial Doctor." Mama Liu opened her red eyes, "Our mother is still bothering you." ”

The imperial doctor was sent away, and the crowd in the courtyard was leaderless.

"Mama, since the culprit has been found, why don't you send someone to arrest it?" It was the little maid in the princess's courtyard who spoke.

Yiren then scolded: "Do you have a part in speaking here? Don't you know how much the prince loves Aunt Gu, Aunt Gu is missing a hair, and you are responsible? ”

"Slaves deserve to die, slaves deserve to die."

"Quiet it all for me." Mama Liu was angry, "I think she is right, Aunt Gu just relies on the princess and the prince to spoil her on weekdays, and raises her heart more and more, this scourge can't be left, come on!" ”

The guards guarding outside the door immediately entered, "At the mouth of the princess, Aunt Gu disturbed the order of the inner courtyard and poisoned the princess, the evidence is conclusive, and it will be sold immediately." ”

"Yes."

The guards who received the order immediately came to Gu Qing's courtyard.

At this time, Gu Qing was getting up and strolling around the yard, "Where did Fangcao go, why didn't you come back?" ”

"Auntie, don't squat, it's not good-looking...... Bold, who are you, how dare you break into the inner courtyard? Maruko scolded the guards who appeared in front of him.

"Take it." Under the leader's order, Gu Qing didn't know what was going on.

"What are you doing? Let me go. Gu Qing struggled, what the hell is going on? Gu Qing, who didn't know why, was very scared.

"Let go of my aunt." When Maruki saw Gu Qing being dragged away, she rushed forward angrily, wanting to solve Gu Qing, but how could she, a little girl in the inner courtyard, beat the prince's elite soldiers, and was pushed and hit the wall, and blood was splashed everywhere.

Gu Qing saw this kind of scene for the first time, "Maruko, Maruko, you let me go." No matter what, Gu Qing couldn't break free from the guards' clamps, and could only watch the pills lying in a pool of blood, and for the first time, Gu Qing felt hopeless.

With blood-colored eyes, Maruko stretched out his hand, "Auntie...... Auntie, don't, don't be afraid, Maruko...... Save your ......"

Gu Qing, who was being dragged along, had a jet-black handkerchief stuffed in her mouth, and when she passed by the gate of the manor, she saw Yiren waiting at the door, and the smile hidden under her handkerchief.
