Malicious Medical Princess of the Marquis House

Pei ordered people to set up a small Buddhist hall in Chunhetang.

Since the Son of Heaven had a stroke, she has been restless and can only pray for the blessing of the gods.

Every morning and evening, she burns incense and prays in the small Buddhist hall, asking the Buddha to bless King Ning to return safely.

It has been more than half a month, and the news of the capital should have been delivered to King Ning.

Why!

King Ning was too far from Beijing.

It took more than half a month to send the news quickly.

After receiving the news, I set off to return to Beijing, I am afraid it will take a month or so.

People are not horses after all.

Even a horse cannot run continuously for twelve hours a day.

After reading a Buddhist scripture, with the help of the maid, Mrs. Pei stood up from the futon.

She asked the maid, Have the eldest son and fourth son come back?

Niangqiang, the fourth son has just returned to the mansion, and the eldest son will not come back until it is dark.

Invite the fourth son, this princess has something to ask him.

The slaves obey.

Pei Shi left the Buddhist hall and returned to the flower hall. The scent of incense has been washed away.

Liu Yi greeted her, Please be safe for the concubine. How is the concubine these days?

Mrs. Pei motioned for him to sit down and speak, If your father does not return to Beijing for a day, this princess will not be better for a day. These days, my mind is restless, for fear that your father will have three strengths and two weaknesses.

Relax, concubine mother. Big brother has sent someone to protect the safety of the father and the king, and with Chang En and the others by the father's side, nothing will happen.

Two fists are hard to beat with four hands, so many ants kill elephants, don't be careless. By the way, when did your elder brother send someone?

Liu Yi shook his head, I don't know about this son. I have to ask my eldest brother to find out. My mother and concubine also know that my eldest brother never told me about this. My father and eldest brother also hid some of the arrangements made in private by our palace and refused to let me know. let me know.

Pei said, That's because you were still young and you didn't care about things in the past, but you liked to go out and drink and make a fool of yourself. I wouldn't tell you if you were not strict with your mouth and would be stereotyped when you were drunk.

Liu Yi lowered his head and smiled.

Now that my son has rehabilitated, my father and elder brother should give me a chance.

When your father comes back, you behave well, and I will talk to your father well.

Thank you mother-in-law.

It's also up to you to fight for yourself.

After Pei Shi finished speaking, he sighed.

Why did the concubine sigh again? The son has already said that there is no need to worry about the father. The father is a hundred years old, and he will return to Beijing safely.

Pei Shi frowned, I hope so.

Have you ever thought about the future? What if the father and the king...

Don't think about it. Pei shi decisively interrupted Liu Yi, Yi'er, listen to your mother-in-law, don't think about anything. Thinking too much is not good for you. Just pretend that nothing will change, and then you can maintain a normal mind. .

Liu Yi was stunned for a moment, then smiled, Mother and concubine are right, the son has to think about nothing.

Pei shi smiled comfortably, That's right.

Mother and concubine must be deeply touched.

Mr. Pei sighed, So many people were so good back then, and they all had the chance to become the Great Treasure. In the end, all those people were defeated, at the hands of your imperial grandfather. Why do you think? It's because they thought too much and refused to do so. down to earth.

Liu Yi thought thoughtfully, The concubine will tell me more about what happened back then.

But Mrs. Pei shook her head, This princess doesn't know much. If you have a chance, you can go to Lantai Temple. If some materials were not destroyed, it must have been in Lantai Temple.

Yeah?

Liu Yi immediately became infinitely curious about Lantai Temple.

Although Lantai Temple is an unpopular yamen that can no longer be unpopular, being an official in Lantai Temple is equivalent to being put into the cold palace, breaking the dream of promotion and fortune for a lifetime.

Thank you mother-in-law for telling me that my son must go to Lantai Temple to see if there is a chance.

Mr. Pei nodded, Look at the experience and lessons of the predecessors, there is no harm.

Liu Yi smiled gently, his face innocent and innocent.

...

Every day that time passes, there will be more undercurrents in the peaceful capital.

The Eight Immortals crossed the sea to show their magical powers. Everyone is racing against time, hurry up and make arrangements.

Liu Zhao suddenly disappeared.

Ask the yamen, the yamen said the tolerance.

No one in the yamen knew exactly where to go on a business trip.

Ask the palace, and the palace even asks three questions.

Pei Shi was very worried, and everyone lost weight.

She called Gu Jiu to Chunhetang for questioning.

Where did Zhao'er go? Why didn't he say hello to this princess when he went out. The situation in the capital is getting more and more tense. If he goes out at this time, what if something happens in the palace.

Gu Jiu bowed his head and said, Reporting to the mother-in-law, the son only said one business trip before going out, and he didn't say a single word. My daughter-in-law asked him, and he just asked me not to ask more.

Pei Shi was angry, You are his wife, you don't know where he went out. How did you become a wife?

Gu Jiu bowed her head and smiled, My father often goes out for three or five days and doesn't come back, and my mother and concubine also don't know where my father is. But my father and my wife get along very well, and my father did not say that my mother and wife did a bad job.

You are presumptuous! Who are you talking to? Are there any superiors or inferiors? Pei slapped the table and scolded Gu Jiu angrily.

Gu Jiu sighed softly, My daughter-in-law knows I'm wrong, and I ask my mother-in-law to forgive me. My daughter-in-law also kindly reminded my mother-in-law that some things are really not what we want to do. Men are doing things outside, where is our turn to intervene. Mother-in-law, daughter-in-law is right.

Pei shivered with anger, You are getting more and more presumptuous now. Do you really think that the imperial concubine would not dare to use the family law with the imperial edict to support you?

Gu Jiu bowed her head and smiled, and said, Mother concubine calm down. Before mother concubine uses the family law, think about what time it is now. Our Ning Palace can't be messed up.

Then be honest, you can answer whatever this princess asks you.

My daughter-in-law has already said everything she knows. The mother-in-law also told me to say, I can't just make things up out of nothing.

Gu Jiu was also aggrieved.

Pei Shi was in a hurry, if the timing was not right, she really wanted to clean up Gu Jiu.

Before Zhao'er went out, did he say how long he would return to Beijing?

Pei still took the initiative to return to the topic.

Gu Jiu shook his head, I didn't say it. It is estimated that this trip will be at least half a month, and as long as one or two months.

So long? Pei's expression changed.

At this time, I have been out for such a long time. What should I do if there is a change in the palace during this period.

Gu Jiu gave her an idea, Mother concubine might as well go to the palace and ask Concubine Shu for instructions.

Pei Shi was worried, This princess will enter the palace to give her condolences. If I ask you anything, you don't know what to do with you. You leave me.

Gu Jiu didn't have the same knowledge as Mr. Pei, and it was understandable that Mr. Pei was a little grumpy when King Ning hadn't returned to Beijing.

She bowed and stepped back, leaving Chunhe Hall.

Before Liu Zhao left Beijing, he did not tell Gu Jiu where he was going.

Gu Jiu speculated that Liu Zhao might be there to meet King Ning.

King Ning may have encountered an ambush, encountered danger, and was stumped by something on the way, unable to return to Beijing in time.

In short, anything is possible.

Everyone is blocking news now.

Whoever gets the first chance wins half of it.

Gu Jiu is self-aware. She knows what she is good at and where her weaknesses are.

She didn't bother Liu Zhao, so she didn't ask where Liu Zhao was.

Even at Qian Fu's place, she didn't ask too much.

However, she successively gave two huge sums of money to Qian Fu to make a turnaround.

Gu Jiu was always very happy when he gave money.

She handed the money to Qian Fu, and said only: Young Master trusts you, so Mrs. Ben also trusts you. I hope the money can be used on a knife's edge.

Madam, rest assured, the money must be used on the edge of the knife.

Gu Jiu snorted, and didn't forget to dig people at the critical moment, If it's too tiring to stay by your son's side, why don't you come to me as an errand. I live here easily and earn a lot of money.

Thank you ma'am, the old slave is used to being an errand by the son's side, and I'm afraid I won't be able to adapt to changing places.

Forget it, I won't force you.

Although not reluctant, but also will not give up.

High-end talents like Qian Fu are hard to come by. Gu Jiu would not give up easily.

Autumn is over and winter is coming.

As time passed, the atmosphere in the capital became more and more tense.

When the weather became cold, the emperor's symptoms worsened, and he could only be bedridden every day.

In the past, I was able to handle a little government affairs and criticize memorabilia.

I can't do it now, I'm exhausted.

After all, the emperor is old, and his health is not good, and his vitality is gradually passing away. The various organs of the body are also irreversibly failing.

Birth, old age, sickness and death, everything is doomed.

The emperor lay on the bed, breathing lightly.

After waking up, he beckoned, and Chen Dachang bowed and stood by the bed, Your Majesty, you are awake.

The emperor nodded and said vaguely, Help me up.

Together, a few servants helped the emperor up and sat on the bed.

The emperor gasped, and first asked the imperial doctor to check his body, and then he took medicine.

After drinking the medicine and feeling better, I asked, Are the princes back?

not yet.

How long has it been, why haven't you come back?

The journey is long, it will take time for the decree to be delivered to your Royal Highnesses, and it will take time for your Royal Highnesses to pack up and set out for Beijing.

The emperor frowned.

The decree urges to urge the bastards back to Beijing. I'm afraid there is not much time.

Your Majesty! Chen Dachang was shocked.

The emperor waved his hand, I can see through the matter so far.

Chen Dachang bowed to take orders, and when he was about to withdraw, he turned back and said, Today, the courtiers are discussing the establishment of the crown prince. What should the old slave do, please show your majesty.

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, The crown prince will have to wait.

As for what to wait, maybe only the emperor knows.

Chen Dachang bowed and said, Old slave understands.

After a pause, he said again: Master Gu, the minister of household affairs, was found to be greedy for ink, and now he has been dismissed for investigation.

The emperor was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses, Gu Jiu's father?

Exactly.

When did this happen?

It was the decree jointly issued by several elders of the political affairs hall this morning.

The emperor frowned, At this time, they still have the time to investigate a minister of the household, what are they at ease?

Your Majesty, rest your anger. The evidence of what Lord Gu has committed is conclusive, and it cannot be concealed. Several adults in the political affairs hall have no choice but to dismiss Mr. Gu first and investigate. How to judge and how to judge, it is still up to Your Majesty to decide. .

The Son of Heaven snorted coldly, Pass on my oral order to take Gu Zhili into custody at Dali Temple, and Dali Temple will thoroughly investigate the case.

Chen Dachang was surprised for a moment, then bowed to take orders, and exited the palace to convey the emperor's decree.

...

Wangfu.

Ma'am, something is wrong.

Xu Yousi hurried back to the East Courtyard.

Even though it was winter, he was sweating profusely.

What happened? Take a breath and speak slowly. Gu Jiu was very calm.

Xu Yousi gasped and said, Master Gu has an accident.

Gu Jiu's face changed, What happened, sir?

Xu Yousi took a sip of tea and breathed evenly before continuing: Master was detained by Dali Temple. It is said that Master is greedy for a lot of money, and several adults in the Political Affairs Hall ordered him to be dismissed and investigated.

Hearing this, Gu Jiu frowned.

Master Gu is greedy for ink, she is not surprised.

Master Gu is not a very clean official, and it is even more irrelevant to the word incorruptibility.

Greed for huge sums of money, this matter is doubtful. Depends on what the standard is for huge sums of money.

What made Gu Jiu uneasy was that this matter came at such an opportune time.

When is this.

Everyone stared at the palace, stared at the princes rushing to the capital, and stared at which prince the emperor would appoint as heir.

At this time, the case of Master Gu's corruption of ink suddenly occurred, and the Political Affairs Hall also ordered the dismissal of the office to investigate and deal with it very efficiently.

Such efficiency is illogical.

It stands to reason that no matter what the case is, at this time, it should be pushed as soon as possible, and it should be delayed if it can be delayed. It's not too late to cook until the crown prince is established.

In the end, everyone didn't care about the palace, and all stared at a little Master Gu.

Gu Jiu took a deep breath.

Mr. Gu is afraid that he has become cannon fodder.
