Chapter 65: The Queen Mother's Relic
She looked at Cuixiang and said, "I'm not eating, you can take the dishes and chopsticks down, and tell the people in the kitchen that I don't have to have dinner tonight."
"But, girl, you didn't eat anything last night, and if you didn't, you'd be hungry, so go and tell the man in the kitchen." Cuixiang said worriedly.
"Don't worry, I don't have much appetite." Cold Frost said.
Cuixiang had no choice but to walk down with a plate.
Night falls.
Dressed properly, she sat on the dresser and let the maid paint her eyebrows and lips.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open.
"Who?" Cold Frost immediately shouted vigilantly.
Gu Tingyu walked in.
"It's me."
Leng Shuang raised his head and saw Gu Tingyu walking in.
Leng Shuang hurriedly got up and said respectfully, "See the prince."
"You don't have to be polite," Gu Tingyu said, "I just wanted to ask how your injuries are?"
Leng Shuang lowered his head and said, "The slave is fine, thank you for your concern."
"I have returned your deed of sale to you, and if you are willing to stay in the palace in the future, I will treat you well." Gu Tingyu looked at Leng Shuang and said.
"I still want to go back to the Prime Minister's House." Cold Frost said.
Gu Tingyu nodded, "Okay then, you can leave."
Cold Frost didn't say anything, turned around and walked outside.
"You're weak, so let me send you back." Gu Tingyu said.
Leng Shuang did not refuse, and walked out of the palace with Gu Tingyu, and then got into the carriage.
"Lord Wang, why do you want to help the slave?" Cold Frost asked.
"This king said that as long as you serve this king well, this king will be responsible for you, and if you behave well, this king will promote you." Gu Tingyu said.
Leng Shuang smiled and said, "The slave and maid have thanked the prince first, if there is a need for slaves and maids, the prince will give orders."
Leng Shuang stayed by Gu Tingyu's side for three days, she knew Gu Tingyu's temper, and the decisions he made couldn't be changed by others at all.
Therefore, the cold frost simply did not resist.
Gu Tingyu's status is noble, and he is extremely good to himself, so Leng Shuang stays by his side and serves him.
This banquet was a ceremony to celebrate Gu Tingyu's ascension to the throne and proclamation as emperor, and all the dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital gathered in the palace to wait for the canonization ceremony of the new monarch.
"The ministers participate in the prince's Chitose Chitose." The crowd fell to their knees.
Gu Tingyu looked at these court officials, and then waved his hand to signal everyone to be even.
Gu Tingyu looked at these people below, his face was not very good, he said: "You are all my ministers, you are in the court, you handle state affairs for me, you are conscientious, I remember your merits, you have merit, I will definitely reward you."
Gu Tingyu sat on the dragon chair, glanced at the people below, and then said, "After I ascended the throne, I rewarded you with the mansion of your lords."
"Thank you, Lord Long." Everyone said in unison.
Gu Tingyu continued: "This matter has been handed over to Zhang Zhongren, the head of the household department, to handle it, so you will cooperate with Zhang Qing's family and be sure to handle this matter beautifully."
"Yes, Lord." The crowd answered.
When Leng Shuang was serving tea to Gu Tingyu just now, he accidentally spilled on Gu Tingyu's chest and scalded him.
Leng Shuang hurriedly apologized: "The slave should die."
"Forget it, you go down."
Gu Tingyu waved his hand.
The cold frost subsided, Gu Tingyu looked at her back as she left, and then said to Fu next to her, "Go check her details."
Fu said, "Lord, are you sure?"
"Hmm." Gu Tingyu said, "I always feel that this girl has a secret hidden in her, so this king can't take risks."
"But my lord, what if this woman didn't hide it from us?" Forde asked.
"No, she wouldn't dare." Gu Tingyu said firmly, and then continued to look out the window.
"Lord Wang......"
"This king has his own measure, you don't need to say much, go down."
"Yes." Forde said.
After Fudd was gone, Cold Frost breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, she didn't want to marry Gu Tingyu, but this was the only way for her to survive.
She didn't want to die, so that's all she had to do.
And now Gu Tingyu is the king of Nanyang, if he follows him, then he will definitely have a better time in the Nanyang palace in the future.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of Cold Frost's mouth.
"Cold Frost, what are you laughing at?" Cuixiang asked as she looked at Cold Frost strangely.
Cold Frost said, "Nothing."
Cuixiang glanced at Cold Frost, and then said, "Cold Frost, don't forget what you promised me, if you lie to me, I won't spare you."
Cold Frost nodded: "I understand, don't worry."
"That's good."
After Cuixiang finished speaking, she went back to her room to rest.
In the past few days, her legs have hurt so badly that she can't sleep every night, and she often sweats.
"Sister Cuixiang."
Cuixiang was reading a medical book, heard the voice, looked up at the person, it turned out to be the little peach in the Cuixiang Courtyard, only to see the little peach in the hand holding a tray, on which there was a box of pastries.
"This pastry was bought from the street by a slave maid, so try it while it's hot." Little Pink said.
Cuixiang was slightly stunned and said, "What are you doing here?"
"Sister Cuixiang, you can eat it, otherwise, the taste will be far worse if it is cold." Little Peach said with a smile.
Cuixiang looked at the pastry, and finally picked it up and took a bite, the pastry was soft and delicious, and she couldn't help but eat two more pieces.
After eating, Cuixiang took a sip of tea, only to find that Xiao Taohong was still standing next to her.
She looked at Little Peach, and then asked suspiciously, "What are you still standing here?"
"Sister Cuixiang, the slave just wants to ask you, how does the prince treat you?" Little Pink asked.
"It's good." Cuixiang said.
"Really?"
"Of course." Cuixiang said with a smile.
A hint of disappointment flashed in Little Peach's eyes, and then she whispered, "Then the slave will leave."
"Oh, you walk slowly." Cuixiang said.
Cuixiang watched Xiao Taohong leave, sighed in her heart, and Gu Tingyu's appearance appeared in her mind again, she had a crush on Gu Tingyu for so long, but she didn't get half of the pity, she couldn't even get a step closer to him, she really hated herself.
But she has no choice, she just hopes that one day, she will be able to climb to a high position and become a superior person like this little peach.
"Princess, the slave maid found out the news today, it is said that in the spring of this year, many rare treasures appeared in the capital, which are of great value." Jade said.
"What kind of treasure?" Cold Frost asked.
"This slave maid doesn't know, but it is rumored that those things were brought into the palace by an old woman, and it is said that the old woman was the grandmother of the Queen Mother back then." Jade said.
Leng Shuang frowned and said, "The Queen Mother's grandmother?"
Leng Shuang's heart was shocked, could it be that those things were the relics of the Queen Mother?
But weren't the Queen Mother's relics burned down a long time ago?
"I don't know the specific slave and maid, I heard that the old woman is a mute, so she doesn't know how to speak, she only knows what her name is, and those rare treasures are personally selected by her." Jade said.
"You keep staring."
"Slaves obey."
Leng Shuang sat at the table, thought for a while, and then prepared to go to Xiahou Yi.
Xiahou Yi's birthday is approaching, so during this time, she is preparing gifts for Xiahou Yi.
She cleaned herself up neatly, wearing a blue dress, combing a simple double bun, and a turquoise hairpin on her head, although it was not gorgeous, it was refreshing, which was very in line with Xiahou Yi's character.
"Miss, the slave and maid will accompany you out, the slave and maid know where there is a road, it is more secluded, suitable for walking, and the slave and maid can also protect you."
"No need, I'll just go alone, don't worry."
"Okay then."
Cold Frost went out and headed towards the suburbs.
By this time, it was already approaching winter, and the trees had turned yellow, leaving only a few scattered branches.
Leng Shuang walked aimlessly, and before he knew it, he came to a mountain forest, Leng Shuang glanced around, and suddenly saw a crooked neck tree.
She looked at the crooked-necked tree, and an inexplicable sense of familiarity suddenly rose in her heart.
Cold Frost slowly crouched down, then stretched out her hands and stroked the trunk of the tree, as if an electric current had passed through her body.
"Who are you?"
A gloomy male voice sounded, and Leng Shuang stood up suddenly, and when he turned his head, he saw a black-robed man, this man was wearing a black cloth on his face, and his face could not be seen clearly at all.
It is still more than 200 miles away from the capital, and there are people here.
"Who are you?" Cold Frost looked at him warily.
The man said lightly: "Since you are here, why pretend to be stupid, no matter who you are or what your purpose is, you have already come, are you still afraid of being caught by me?"
Leng Shuang looked at the man, there seemed to be a strong coercion on this person's body, which made Leng Shuang couldn't help but tremble.
Cold Frost took a deep breath and said, "What exactly do you want to do?"
"Don't be nervous, I don't mean anything, I just want to ask you to do me a favor."
The man said.
Cold Frost's heart was a little calmer, after all, she had no choice in the current situation, so she said, "Say it."
The man smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not a bad person, but I need your help with something."
"What is it?"
The man took out a bottle and handed it to Cold Cream: "Pour it into this bottle, and the powder from the bottle will be sprinkled on the table in your room."
Cold Frost glanced at the man suspiciously, she took the bottle, examined it carefully, and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the bottle, and then sprinkled the powder on the table.
Immediately, the man disappeared before her eyes.
Cold Frost returned to her boudoir, and she took the bottle out, put it to her nose and sniffed it.
The smell is so light that if you don't recognize it carefully, you won't be able to detect it at all.
What is this?
"Ma'am, are you back?" The maid Qiaoyue greeted her and said.
