Malicious Medical Princess of the Marquis House

I have no contact with her.

Gu Jiu's attitude showed toughness and indifference.

After a pause, she slowed down and said, I said long ago that she is not my maid. As early as when I sent her to Beijing, I had nothing to do with her. She is now Empress Shuyi, It's Your Majesty's woman.

Liu Zhao nodded expressionlessly, These gentlemen all know.

Gu Jiu stared at him suspiciously, You don't believe me? You know you still ask me?

She was angry.

The most important thing between husband and wife is trust. What is Liu Zhao suspicious of?

I didn't disbelieve you, I believed what you said from beginning to end. Liu Zhao said loudly.

Gu Jiu shook her head and smiled indifferently, Tell me, what do you want to do? Let me contact her to get news about Concubine Xue and King Zhao?

you misunderstood.

Gu Jiu sneered and remained silent.

Liu Zhao said with a serious face: I want to remind you that Jiang Yan's identity is not what it used to be, you should be prepared.

what to prepare?

Gu Jiu's attitude was a little more aggressive.

Liu Zhao's face sank, and he said, You should be ready, if one day she comes to the door, what position do you take to face her?

If one day, she becomes the knife in the hands of Xue Guifei and kills you, how will you deal with yourself?

Xiaojiu, some problems can be solved without escaping. When it comes to the palace, no small things can be taken lightly.

Gu Jiu looked up at the roof.

After a long time, she asked, You didn't tell anyone about my relationship with Jiang Yan, did you?

Liu Zhao nodded.

Gu Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, Very good! Please remember, this matter must be rotten in your heart, and don't tell anyone. Between me and Jiang Yan, the initiative has fallen into her hands. In the future, I and she will meet. I can't predict where I will go. So, don't expect me to win her over and help you.

Liu Zhao said with a blank face: I don't need your help to win anyone over. But I hope you can maintain your relationship with her. It's not easy to establish a relationship in the palace.

Especially after the Great Purge of the Palace. She didn't say cut off the relationship, so you shouldn't know.

Gu Jiu bit her lip, Li Zhaoyi is pregnant, if the prince is born, the situation will change drastically. You are all panicking. You would rather maintain the current situation than have a new competitor join the fight for succession. Fight. Especially when this competitor is still a child, but he can get all the favor of His Majesty. You, you are a little panicked.

Liu Zhao raised his eyebrows, neither denying nor admitting it.

Gu Jiu lowered her head and smiled, Guess what Li Zhaoyi is thinking?

Liu Zhao was silent.

Gu Jiu continued speaking to herself, From a woman's standpoint, let me guess what she thinks.

The things she is thinking about now are, firstly, give birth to a child safely, and secondly, this child should preferably be a brother. The last one, there is more Jiang Shuyi in the palace, and she must rely on her child to keep her pet.

As for the things you are worried about, with her current confidence, she doesn't dare to think about it.

But if the three ideas I just mentioned can be achieved one by one, in another ten or eight years, she will definitely give birth to the idea of ​​winning for her son.

The premise is that the Son of Heaven can live to that time.

The lifespan of the emperor will be the key to the struggle for succession.

Liu Zhao naturally knew this.

He heard him say to Gu Jiu: The imperial grandfather has recently listened to the doctor's advice and started to take care of his body. Moreover, there is a secretary department in the palace, and some young people who have learned from the three provinces and six ministries have been promoted to enrich it and handle various official affairs. Including reviewing memorials.

Gu Jiu said softly: With the Ministry of Secretaries, the emperor can save a lot of time. Believe it or not, in a few decades, this new Ministry of Secretaries will definitely surpass the three provinces and six ministries and become a terrorist organization with the greatest authority. After all, a person's energy is limited, and the Ministry of Secretary has done a good job of sharing government affairs for the emperor.

Liu Zhao frowned, Are you reminding this young master to seize the opportunity of the newly established Secretary Province and put your own nails in it?

Gu Jiu shook her head, I didn't say anything. I'm just guessing, you can listen too.

Liu Zhao laughed, I accept your love, thank you.

Gu Jiu pursed her lips, No thanks.

The concierge came to report that someone was asking to see him.

Gu Jiu asked, Who wants to see Mrs. Ben?

The person who came here said it was an old friend's request, and asked the servant to give this note to Madam.

Gu Jiu spread out the note and saw the word Jiang scrawled on it.

She quickly closed the note, Invite someone in.

The slaves obey.

Gu Jiu hurriedly lit the candle and burned the note.

what happened?

Liu Zhao asked.

Gu Jiu took a deep breath, Jiang Shuyi sent someone to see me. Do you want to avoid it?

Liu Zhao nodded, I'll avoid it first.

After a pause, he reminded: Have you thought about how to deal with it?

Gu Jiu looked at him and whispered two words, From the heart.

Liu Zhao took her hand, That's right. Just do it according to your heart, don't worry about others.

Gu Jiu gritted her teeth and asked, Why did you say she sent someone to see me?

It's nothing more than three things: wealth, power, and affection.

Hearing this, Gu Jiu laughed, You're right, it's nothing more than knowing it with affection, enticing it with profit, or coercing it with power.

If you're worried that you can't handle it, I can accompany you.

Gu Jiu shook his head, No need. I can handle it alone.

Liu Zhao squeezed her hand and got up to leave.

Zhou Miao was invited into the East Courtyard of the palace. He looked around, curious.

His attitude is very relaxed, and his attitude is like seeing an old friend, very comfortable.

When he arrived at the East Courtyard, after being informed and seeing Gu Jiu's first face, he sighed in his heart, As expected, she is the girl with sharp teeth and sharp mouth that she met in the broken temple.

Zhou Miao recognized Gu Jiu.

Back then, when Wang Yi jumped off the cliff, Da Zhuang stopped him, and Mr. Zhou made a sarcastic speech. As a result, he was beaten up by Gu Jiu's harsh words, which stimulated Mr. Zhou to leave the ruined temple decisively.

At that time, there was a little beggar beside Mr. Zhou, and he followed Mr. Zhou's footsteps and left the ruined temple to the capital.

Due to fate, the little beggar changed his body, entered the palace and made a small yellow door, and named himself Zhou Miao.

Gu Jiu did not recognize Zhou Miao.

The little beggar back then was so dirty that he couldn't see his face clearly. And after many years, the little beggar has grown taller and has become a talent.

In any case, Gu Jiu couldn't connect the little yellow door in front of him with the little beggar that broke the temple back then.

Zhou Miao did not reveal the relationship between the two. He smiled and said, Greet Mrs. Zhao.

No gift. Who are you?

The little one's surname is Zhou, and his name is Zhou Miao. Mrs. Zhao can call the little little Zhouzi, and all the little Miaos.

Oh! Gu Jiu pretended to be suddenly enlightened, Excuse me, where are you on duty?

The youngest is working in Shangshan Prison. The youngest is from the northwest, and Mrs. Shuyi is from the same town. Mrs. Shuyi asked me to bring a letter to Mrs. Zhao, and Mrs. Zhao would like to have a look.

Zhou Miao took out the letter and offered it with both hands.

Gu Jiu hesitated for a second before accepting the letter decisively.

Ms. Shuyi, what else is there to explain?

What Empress Shuyi wants to say is in the letter.

Gu Jiu calmly opened the envelope, took out the letter inside, and unfolded it.

Two pages of letter paper with lots of writing. Missing the past, thanking her for the opportunity she gave, and talking about how difficult the situation is now. In the end, he came to his own purpose.

After reading the letter, Gu Jiu folded the letter, put it back in the envelope, and said nothing.

Zhou Miao was suspicious, Does Madam Zhao have anything to say?

Gu Jiu smiled, Ms. Shuyi is not what she used to be, so she still mentions what happened in the past. I have long forgotten what happened in the past. Go back and tell her, no need to mention it again.

Oh? Could it be that Mrs. Zhao wants to make a clean relationship with Empress Shuyi? Zhou Miao stared at Gu Jiu with a half-smile.

Gu Jiu smiled softly, That's not true. You can deliver the letter for Empress Shuyi. I think you should be someone she trusts. I'll just ask, what's her plan next?

Ms. Shuyi wrote it very clearly in the letter.

Gu Jiu smiled and said nothing.

Zhou Miao lowered her head and smiled, as expected, it was not easy to fool.

He turned and said sincerely: Ms. Shuyi just wants to save her life.

Gu Jiu said, She is relying on Concubine Xue Gui to save her life.

Not enough. Concubine Xue Gui can't guarantee that she will be safe and rich forever.

Gu Jiu smiled, I live a stable and rich life. How many people can't achieve it in a lifetime. Don't you think your heart is a little bigger?

Zhou Miao said, When Empress Shuyi was in her late stage, Mrs. Zhao was willing to help her. Today she is Empress Shuyi, why is Mrs. Zhao so worried? Or is Mrs. Zhao afraid?

Gu Jiu nodded, Of course I'm afraid. As you said, now she is the empress Shuyi, she doesn't need my help, as long as she shows a little meaning, a lot of people are willing to give her money.

Other people's money is too hot, how can Mrs. Zhao's money be used with peace of mind.

Are you complimenting Mrs. Ben or scolding Mrs. Ben.

Madam thinks I'm complimenting, that's compliment. Madam thinks I'm scolding, that's scolding.

You are a bit interesting. It's strange that you can get so close to Empress Shuyi.

Things are divided into groups, and people are grouped together. Empress Shuyi and I are actually the same kind of people.

Gu Jiu smiled, Ms. Shuyi really just wants to be safe and rich for a lifetime?

Zhou Miao said with certainty: Of course it is. She is a rootless duckweed in the palace, how dare she expect too much.

Gu Jiu heard the words and said, I can give her money in my own name. I don't need her to pass on the news, and I don't need her to inquire about the imperial concubine and the king of Zhao. I only need her to promise me three things.

What's up?

Gu Jiu avoided answering, I will write a reply letter, and you will bring it to her. If she agrees, when you leave the palace next time, you will come back to Mrs. Ben for money.

Zhou Miao frowned, and said in disgust, It's too long-winded.

Gu Jiu ignored him, picked up a pen and wrote a simple letter, put it in the envelope, and sealed the opening of the letter.

Don't peek.

Zhou Miao grinned, Can't Madam trust me?

Gu Jiu asked him back, Will you trust the person you met for the first time?

Zhou Miao had nothing to say and left with the letter.

Liu Zhao silently appeared behind Gu Jiu, almost startling her.

He gently massaged her shoulders and asked, How?

Gu Jiu smiled and said, Ambition is as big as ever, and it's even getting bigger. But it's more stable than before.

Liu Zhao said without any emotion: She is in the palace, and it's a good thing to have ambition. People like her are best suited to survive in the palace.

Enjoying Liu Zhao's service, Gu Jiu closed her eyes comfortably.

Xue Guifei brought her up. It's only been more than a month, and she has already given birth to two hearts. You can't have a deep friendship. Gu Jiu sighed casually.

She may be thinking about your old love.

When Gu Jiu heard this, she laughed, Do you believe it? Now in her eyes, I am just someone who is useful to her but will not hinder her. If there is a conflict between me and her one day, I will There is no doubt that she will raise the butcher's knife to me.

So unsure of yourself?

I came to this conclusion after seeing her through. So, don't expect to use her through me, she can't be trusted.

Liu Zhao asked about another matter, What three demands did you make to her?

Secret for now.

...

A few days later, Zhou Miao came to Prince Ning's mansion again and took five thousand taels of silver from Gu Jiu.

These five thousand taels were taken by Gu Jiu from Zhenbaozhai.

If it weren't for Zhenbaozhai, a powerful tool for making money, she wouldn't be able to get 5,000 taels of cash for a while.

Before leaving, Zhou Miao said with a smile: Yesterday, there were a few more alchemists in the palace. Your Majesty chatted with the alchemists for two hours, and even missed the meal. The conversation was extremely speculative. The side hall was changed to the Temple of Asking Heaven, and Fang Shi Rong was in the imperial city to concoct alchemy and ask for longevity.

Gu Jiu's expression condensed, Alchemy asks for longevity?

Could it be that the emperor wanted to imitate the emperor of Qin and Han Wu, and was tricked by a group of alchemists.

Exactly! Longevity, who doesn't want it. Especially since you are the emperor, you want longevity even more.

Gu Jiu sneered, Does Your Majesty often summon Jiang Shuyi?

Gao, but most of the time, I let Jiang Shuyi wait on the pen and ink, or read and write, and I don't have sex. Madam, after all, Your Majesty is old. When you are old, your body is useless. If there is an elixir, eating it can make people savage and 20 years younger, even if they know there are side effects, they will swallow it.

Zhou Miao had something to say, and he didn't hide it.

Gu Jiu asked tentatively, Did Jiang Shuyi tell you to say that?

Zhou Miao smiled lightly, shook her head and said, Last time I had a good chat with Madam, and I want to make friends with Madam. I wonder what Madam would like?

Gu Jiu laughed, As long as Eunuch Zhou doesn't dislike the simplicity of this place, please come here if you have time. It just so happens that I have also lived in the northwest for many years, so I can talk about the customs.

Madam has insight. It's too late today, so I'll come back to harass Madam next time. Farewell!

Gu Jiu watched Zhou Miao leave.

This week Miao is not simple.

At first, she thought that Zhou Miao was attached to Jiang Yan and was Jiang Yan's pawn.

Now it seems that the two are simply attached to each other.

Gu Jiu called Qian Fu, thought about it, and then ordered: Send a letter to the son and tell him to pay attention to the alchemist in the palace. Maybe someone wants to start with the alchemist.

Qian Fu was obviously stunned, Is there an alchemist in the palace?

This matter is absolutely true. Since yesterday, there have been several more alchemists in the palace, and they have your Majesty's trust. Remind the son to be careful.

The old slave will send someone to send a message to the son.

Qian Fu bowed and left.

...

There was a wave of unrest in the palace, and one wave after another.

Before Li Zhaoyi's child was born, Jiang Shuyi and Li Zhaoyi fought openly and secretly. This is not over yet, there are another group of alchemists in the palace, all day long, they talk about alchemy and seek longevity.

Chaotang was very uneasy, and there were many discussions.

In the early days, they wrote books one after another and persuaded the emperor.

Call the Son of Heaven pro-virtuous ministers, far-flung villains.

Who is the villain is naturally those alchemists who confuse the public.

Of course, the emperor couldn't listen, and he reprimanded several courtiers who spoke the most rude words on the spot, and at the same time gave several alchemists official positions, full-time alchemy.

The courtiers stamped their feet in anger.

Your Majesty is confused.

Inside the Changchun Palace.

Concubine Xiao Shu sat opposite King Ning, and the mother and son were playing a game.

Concubine Xiao Shu said: Those courtiers are just too anxious. When the alchemist entered the palace, he hurriedly accused His Majesty of doing something wrong, and told His Majesty to stay away from the villain. Isn't this demolishing His Majesty's platform. How can His Majesty be happy?

Anyway, keep those alchemists for a while and let them do something. After the medicinal herbs are practiced, you can see if they are useful or not.

However, this palace estimates that most of the medicinal pills are useless, and even if they are useful, they are the medicine of tigers and wolfs. At that time, there will be a ready-made handle to drive those alchemists out of the palace.

Ning Wang laughed, It's still the mother and concubine who do things prudently.

Concubine Xiao Shu smiled, Bengong has been up and down in the palace for decades, and I have never seen anything. Your Majesty is old, old children and young children, you have to take care of your hair. The more you fight against His Majesty, the more counterproductive it is. You, next time If your father scolds you, don't talk back.

My son never talks back. King Ning was ashamed.

Concubine Xiao Shu glanced at him, and then said another matter, Don't worry about Li Zhaoyi's side. This palace has always sent someone to watch.

Son is not in a hurry. What is urgent is Concubine Xue and King Zhao.

Concubine Xiao Shu laughed, You are right.
