Chapter 120
In the evening, there was a heart-piercing cough in Weiyang's palace.
People in the palace come in and out, everyone looks worried. I'm all worried about the Queen's body, can I survive it.
Father Fang, the servant and young supervisor, came to Weiyang Palace. He first asked the palace lady who was guarding the door, "How about the empress?"
"Returning to Shao Jian Fang, Niang Niang coughed all afternoon. It was too medicinal, and I got a needle, but it didn't get better."
Shaojian Fang frowned, hesitated for a second, and walked into the bedroom without hesitation.
The imperial doctor is pulling out the needle.
Fang Shaojian bowed and stood aside and waited.
After pulling out the needle and drinking the medicine, Empress Cui finally felt better and didn't cough that much.
She looked at the imperial doctor, "How long can the body of the palace support?"
How dare the imperial physician answer these words, and just said: "The empress still needs to relax and calmly recuperate."
Empress Cui squinted, "The body of the palace is clear to the palace itself. It is a blessing for the palace to survive until now. Right now, the palace just wants to listen to the truth."
This……
How dare the imperial physician tell the truth? Had no choice but to ask for help from the young supervisor.
Fang Shaojin walked out of the shadows and stood under the candlelight, "please greet the empress."
"You came."
Shao Jian Fang said: "Niang Niang, Gong Zi Zhao went to Yin Yamen of the capital to report the case today."
"Oh!"
Empress Cui smiled meaningfully.
With a wave of her hand, the imperial physician was pardoned, and hurriedly bowed to leave the sleeping hall.
The maids also filed away.
The queen urged to wave to Young Supervisor Fang, "Come here and let this palace see more clearly."
Shao Jian Fang bent over to the bed and asked worriedly: "Manny, are you getting better?"
Empress Cui smiled and said, "This body in this palace is just going through the day. It is going through the day."
"The empress, take care, and be relieved."
Empress Cui sighed, "Now in this situation, you have also seen how this palace can relax. The prince... hey... this palace is now doing everything it takes to his destiny."
Fang Shaojian's expression darkened.
Empress Cui looked at him and asked: "You just said that the son of the emperor went to the Yamen to report the crime?"
"Exactly."
"what happened?"
Fang Shaojian cleared his throat and said: "The son Zhao was eating at the Tongfu restaurant today. It is said that he lost a piece of jade pendant, so he went to the Yamen to report the case."
"Has the Yamen accepted it?"
"The yamen dare not refuse to accept it."
Empress Cui laughed, "That's what I said. Tongfu restaurant, if my palace remembers it correctly, behind the restaurant is Concubine Xue's family."
"From the face of it, the Xue family is behind the Tongfu Restaurant, but it is actually His Royal Highness King Zhao."
King Zhao is the son of Concubine Xue and the biggest competitor of His Royal Highness.
Empress Cui narrowed her eyes, "What is the significance of this action? Is it possible that King Ning can't sit still."
King Ning is Liu Zhao's father and ranks second among the princes.
Fang Shaojian said: "There is no real conflict between King Ning and King Zhao, at least for the time being. It stands to reason that King Ning does not need to target King Zhao at this time."
Empress Cui half closed her eyes, pondering the matter.
"Do you think King Ning and Gongzizhao, the father and son, have something to do with this move?"
Fang Shaojian said: "On the surface, the son of the edict is pointing at His Royal Highness Zhao Wang. But I am worried that their drunken man's intention is not to drink, but to His Royal Highness."
Empress Cui nodded secretly, "Send someone to stare at this matter and directly intervene if necessary. Make sure to let King Ning and King Zhao fight, so that the prince can...cough cough..."
Before she finished speaking, Empress Cui coughed violently.
Supervisor Fang suddenly became anxious, "Manny, do you want it? Come here."
The imperial physicians and palace people ran in well-trained, piercing the needle, taking medicine, and holding water.
After tossing for a long time, Empress Cui finally stopped her coughing and returned from the ghost gate.
Her face was gray and exhausted, she was unable to speak.
Fang Shaojin became more worried.
He winked at the doctor Wang, and then he took the lead to leave the sleeping hall.
After a while, the doctor Wang came out of the sleeping hall.
Shaojian Fang asked, "Doctor Wang, how long are you going to be honest with our family?"
Physician Wang was sweating coldly, "Shao Jian Fang..."
"Just tell me how much time I have left for my mother. You will not mention the gossip next to me."
Physician Wang wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, looked around, and then whispered: "The empress trusts Shao Jian Fang, and the officer does not hide it. Niang Niang's body is possible at any time... In short, please prepare Shao Jian Fang as early as possible."
Shaojian Fang's face changed slightly, "Manny, it's really possible at any time..."
The doctor Wang nodded, "It is a miracle that the empress has been able to survive until now. Originally, the hospital judged that the empress would not be able to survive this autumn. It is already a cold winter.
If the Niang Niang can survive this winter and the weather gradually warms in the coming spring, there may be a ray of life. "
"Is there really a chance for the empress?"
Doctor Wang sighed, "Difficult, difficult. I'm afraid this winter..."
The unfinished words, Wang Taiyi did not say, but it has already explained everything.
Empress Cui's body was exhausted.
Can survive till now, all depends on that breath.
If that breath is gone one day, Empress Cui will naturally not be able to survive.
All that should be said, the doctor Wang went back to the sleeping hall to take care of Queen Cui, just in case.
...
In the Ganlu Palace, Concubine Xue looked in the direction of Weiyang Palace and smiled triumphantly.
The queen can't make it anymore.
After so many years, that woman was finally dying by her.
The person who lives to the end is the biggest winner. Why the empress does not understand this truth.
A palace official came in to report, "Niangniang, just got the news, the son-in-law went to the yamen to report the case, saying that he lost a piece of jade pendant while dining at the Tongfu restaurant. The yamen has accepted the case."
Concubine Xue Gui frowned, "Is Liu Zhao looking for death? Doesn't he know that the Xue family is behind Tongfu Restaurant?"
"The son Zhao did this, maybe there are other deep meanings."
Concubine Xue Gui snorted coldly, "Tomorrow, I will go to see Concubine Shu, and let Concubine Shu take care of her grandson. It's really shameful."
All the thoughts of Concubine Xue's thoughts were used to pay attention to Queen Cui in Weiyang Palace, and she really didn't have the energy to think deeply about Liu Zhao's intentions.
It was originally just a small case of losing the jade pendant. After some brewing and fermentation, coupled with the fish in troubled waters of all parties, in the near future, it will shake the pattern of the entire capital.
...
The disturbance outside did not affect the inner house of Gu's house.
To talk about the impact, it is that Master Gu comes home more and more later.
Gu Yue's marriage, the things that had already disciplined Gu Yue, were all thrown to the Xie family.
On this day, the Xie family visited Gu Yue at Zizhuyuan.
The injuries on Gu Yue's body, as Doctor Zhu said, were skin injuries, and no bones were injured.
In a few days, the injury had healed seven or eighty-eight, and the wound had become scabs. Gu Yue could get out of bed and move around at will.
However, when Gu Yue saw Xie's, tears fell.
Xie frowned slightly, "Why are you crying again."
"Mother, will my injuries leave scars?"
"No. Doctor Zhu prescribed a scar medicine, you won't leave scars."
"But my daughter is so scared."
Xie said blankly: "Since you know you are afraid, don't mess around in the future."
"Daughter dare not." Gu Yue looked pitifully, talking and sobbing.
Xie looked at her and said, "I have discussed with your father, and I will tell you about a marriage as soon as possible. I have prepared the dowry for you."
Gu Yue looked up, surprised, unexpected, apprehensive, anticipating, and all kinds of emotions flashed through her eyes.
"Mother, Hexibo Mansion..."
Xie's eyes were sharp as a knife, and he stabbed directly at Gu Yue.
Gu Yue had to shut up, and couldn't speak the rest of the words anyway. She was really scared, and her half life was gone if she hit the five boards.
It hurts.
Gu Yue cried again at the thought of being hit with a board.
Xie took out her handkerchief and wiped her tears, "Don't cry. At the Hexibo Mansion, I will plan for you, as long as you don't regret it."
Gu Yue burst into laughter, "I don't regret it, and my daughter will never regret it for the rest of my life."
Xie's mouth twitched, revealing a mocking smile.
"You are still young, don't say this for a lifetime. When you reach my age, you will know what a lifetime is."
Gu Yue nodded repeatedly, and took Xie's arm, acting like a baby: "My daughter listens to her mother, and my mother is so kind."
Xie's smile was short-lived.
In a blink of an eye, she regained her dazed expression, "At the Hexibo Mansion, don't report too much hope. This marriage may not be possible."
Gu Yue lowered her head with a sad expression on her face.
"The mother has worked hard, and the daughter understands it."
Gu Yue was slapped with a board, and she was a good student. A concubine who is not dead or alive must marry Zhao Erlang.
But all of this is appearance. Only she knows what she thinks in her heart.
The little maid came in from outside, "Mrs. Qi, the girl, the eldest girl, the second girl, the fourth girl, the fifth girl, and the sixth girl come to visit the girls."
"Hurry up and invite them in." Xie Shi said.
The little maid took the order and left.
Xie's mentioned Gu Yue again, "Seeing the sisters, be polite."
"Daughter knows."
Gu Jiu took the lead, and the girls from the Gu mansion filed into the bedroom.
For a while, the bedroom was full of people.
"I have met my wife."
"I have seen my second aunt."
Xie's smiled and nodded, "You are thinking about Yue'er, and you are interested."
Gu Jiu asked first: "Sister, are you better?"
"Thank you for your second sister's concern, I'm much better. I heard that you all learned housekeeping from your elder aunt."
Gu Jiu nodded and smiled: "Exactly."
Gu Yue said, "When I get better someday, I will also learn about housekeeping from my aunt."
Xie said: "You are not young anymore, you should learn to be a steward."
Gu Yue lowered his head and said, "What my mother said. But why didn't my mother go to the housekeeper? Auntie is in charge of the huge mansion alone. How tired. Mother, you are with us and share the worries for the auntie."
Gu Yue looked at Xie with an innocent look.
Xie's laughed, "Don't worry, when I finish my work, I will discuss the housekeeping affairs with your elder aunt."
Now she still asks for Zhang's, so she doesn't want to tear her face apart with Zhang's.
When the marriage between Gu Zhen and Gu Yue is settled, she will have a good talk with Zhang and talk about housekeeping.
Since Dafang and Erfang have not separated yet, this family will not be Zhang's turn to cover the sky.
Gu Jun was a little embarrassed.
At this moment, she was like a redundant outsider.
Erfang was discussing things, and she seemed to be an eyesore.
Gu Jun thought for a while and deliberately pretended to be stupid and asked: "Sister Third, I heard that you were kicked by your second uncle, why?"
Cough!
Everyone turned their attention, or bowed their heads, or pretended not to hear. But he was paying attention to Gu Yue's reaction.
The fact that Gu Yue was slapped can't be concealed, but why he was slapped? Many people are still confused and have everything to say.
Gu Zhen lowered her head, the corners of her mouth were upturned, and her expression on her face was triumphant.
Gu Yue was hit with a board, which is really pleasant.
Have a good time. Have a good time.
only hate not crippling Gu Yue.
Gu Jiu noticed Gu Zhen's expression, and Gu Zhen turned her head, pretending to be serious.
Gu Jiu smiled secretly, Gu Zhen finally took a breath, and Gu Yue was finally cleaned up.
Everything is evolving as Maojiu expected.
Gu Yue flushed, and took a look at Gu Jun.
She must have embarrassed herself deliberately if she didn't open and lift which pot.
Gu Yue bit her lip, how would she answer.
Xie’s rescued Gu Yue, “Jun girl, your third sister was out of character, and she said the wrong thing, so she was kicked by your uncle. Yue'er has learned a lesson, and this matter is all over. Don’t mention it in the future. ."
Gu Jun looked timidly, "My niece listened to my aunt. I blamed me and brought up the sadness of the third sister. Third sister, I apologize to you, don't care about me."
Xie patted the back of Gu Yue's hand and said with a smile: "Jun girl, don't worry, Yue'er won't care about you."
Gu Yue followed with a hum.
Gu Jun laughed, "Thank you third sister. I know you are the best."
Gu Yue blushed, she was a little self-aware at any rate, knowing that she could not bear the reputation of generosity.
Looking at Gu Jun's silly appearance, Gu Yue bit her lip and said nothing.
Xie said: "Yue'er's body hasn't healed yet and can't be tired. When she gets better another day, I will set up a banquet for you, and your sisters will eat and drink together. Wouldn't you be happy?"
This is Xie's eviction order.
Gu Jiu said:
Gu Jun smiled and said, "The third sister takes good care of herself, and we will see you another day. Madam, we will leave now."
"Go, follow your elder aunt and learn how to be a housekeeper. After you have learned your skills, you will come to your husband's house so that you won't be rejected by others."
Gu Jiu smiled and withdrew.
The other sisters all followed Gu Jiu out of Zizhuyuan.
The weather is cold, but everyone is not in a hurry to go back to the room.
Gu Jun looked around and knew that the sisters in Erfang had something to say.
So Gu Jun took the initiative to say: "Sisters, I'm going back first. You can come and play with me when you have time."
"Sixth sister walk slowly."
Gu Shan looked at Gu Jiu, "Second sister, would you like to sit in my room?"
"Okay!" Gu Jiu readily agreed.
"Big sister, come on too. Fifth sister, you are still young and weak, so let's go back to the room first."
Gu Lin stomped aggrievedly, "Why do you talk with me behind your back."
Gu Shan said, "I didn't carry you on my back. I haven't seen Aunt Bai for many days, how is she?"
Gu Lin was stunned for a moment, and suddenly came back to her senses. He smiled and said, "Thank you Sisi Sisi for your concern. Auntie is okay. Then I'll go."
Gu Lin left sadly.
She knew why Gu Shan avoided her, it was all because of Aunt Bai.
Gu Lin was sad, but helpless.
Gu Jiu and Gu Zhen followed Gu Shan to her room.
Just sitting down, saw Gu Shan solemnly apologize to Gu Zhen.
"Big Sister, I apologize for Sister Third. I know that my apology won't do much, but I still hope that you don't hate Sister Third. Her person is sometimes inadequate."
Gu Zhen sneered, and said sarcastically: "Gu Yue is not short-minded, she has too many mindfuls."
Gu Shan looked embarrassed and sighed.
Gu Jiu looked around, and unexpectedly, Gu Shan, who was quiet, knew the truth. don't know where her news came from.
Gu Shan said again: "The third elder sister has learned the lesson, and I hope that the eldest sister will feel better in her heart."
Gu Zhen asked Gu Shan bluntly, "Sister Si, what qualifications do you have to say? Are you really clear about what Gu Yue did?"
Gu Shan nodded solemnly, "I know exactly what the third sister did."
Gu Zhen was stunned.
Then he asked with an angry face: "Since you know, why didn't you stop her in the first place, and why you still speak for her."
Gu Shan said, "Big sister misunderstood. I only learned the truth afterwards. At that time, it was done and it was too late to do anything. The reason why I spoke for the third sister was that I didn't want to see you and the third sister have a grudge. After all, we are sisters., You can’t write two Gu characters in one stroke."
Gu Zhen angrily scolded: "Enough! Fourth sister, you should not worry about these things. If you have time to persuade me, it is better to persuade Gu Yue. Tell her not to be so cruel and selfish. Anyway, leave someone a way to survive."
