Malicious Medical Princess of the Marquis House

The first month of the first year of Jingming.

Emperor Chengzong Wende's funeral!

The funeral procession spread for dozens of miles, and the road was covered with whiteness.

As long as they are not dead or sick enough to be unable to get out of bed, all aristocrats, royal relatives, high-ranking officials and dignitaries will all be in the funeral procession to send the late emperor on his last journey.

Only the most important figure, Empress Dowager Pei, is missing.

Many people murmured in their hearts that it would be inappropriate for Empress Dowager Pei not to show up for the late Emperor's burial.

Your Majesty and the Queen Mother are at odds!

This rumor spread out somehow.

Everyone looked at the Pei family.

Whether there is a conflict between His Majesty and the Queen Mother, the Pei family should know better than others.

The Pei family, headed by Mrs. Lu Hou, turned a blind eye to all probing eyes.

They couldn't find any useful news from Pei's house, so everyone turned their attention to several adult princes, especially Duan County King Liu Yi.

Duanjun Wang Liu Yi walked in the funeral procession with a dull expression, his eyes had already lost their luster. He doesn't care about the attention of the outside world.

Why didn't Empress Dowager Pei show up?

Others don't know, but he can figure out the reason with his toes.

But he didn't plan to delve into the matter, nor did he plan to get ahead.

He is a loser, a complete loser, what right does he have to stand out.

Xiao Qin'er was a little sad.

In the past six months, Liu Yi lived like a walking dead.

Being denied by Emperor Chengzong Wende gave Liu Yi a fatal blow, and he still has no way to figure it out, and still feels sorry for himself.

...

Going to the imperial mausoleum, I walked for three full days.

The funeral took two more days.

When I got back to the capital, I counted back and forth, and it was delayed for seven or eight days.

Halfway through the first month, the temperature began to pick up.

Ouyang Fu went to Duanjun Palace as a guest, looking for Xiao Qin'er to do homework.

My prince doesn't go to court, he doesn't do errands, he writes and draws in the study every day. Everyone in the house waits, and everyone dares not breathe. The children are more careful in speaking and doing things than in the past. I don't know when this day will end.

Xiao Qin'er raised her eyebrows and said: To tell the truth, my second sister-in-law, I am also worried. The situation of my prince is more serious than that of your family.

Ouyang Fu frowned, The late Emperor's funeral is over, so Your Majesty has no plans to let the princes return to the court to serve as errands?

Xiao Qin'er pursed her lips and said: Second sister-in-law might as well ask the empress about this matter. The empress has always lived in Qin Wang's mansion, which is only two streets away, very close.

Ouyang Fu smiled awkwardly, The four younger siblings have a good relationship with the empress, and Prince Duanjun and His Majesty are brothers of the same mother. You two are closer.

Xiao Qin'er smiled, I don't agree with that. I remember that the second sister-in-law had a closer relationship with the empress in the past. When did the second sister-in-law become estranged from the empress? This is not very good.

Ouyang Fu held a handkerchief, covered her mouth, and coughed softly, Hey, every family has a difficult scripture to recite. I don't have as good a family background as my fourth sibling, and I lack confidence, so I'm bound to be restrained when I speak and do things. You know, Empress Dowager I like people who are bright and cheerful, and I am not very flattering in this state!

Xiao Qin'er sneered inwardly.

Who wouldn't pretend to be pitiful?

Back then, this princess could cry for three days in a row.

It's hard for me too! It's not much better than the second sister-in-law. There are a bunch of women in the backyard, plus a group of sons and daughters. Their heads grow bigger every day, and they look more and more like a yellow-faced woman. I don't have the confidence to talk to the empress. Rather than looking for me, Second Sister-in-law, why not think of other ways, such as the Empress Dowager.

Ouyang Fu's complexion tightened, and she said in a low voice: I heard that the empress dowager is not feeling well and needs to rest. She has not been out of the palace for many days, and no one has been able to see the empress dowager. Fourth sibling, you are the empress dowager's own daughter-in-law, so you are not as good as you Enter the palace to ask for a will...

Let the second sister-in-law down, I don't have time. Xiao Qin'er directly interrupted Ouyang Fu.

Ouyang Fu was extremely embarrassed, thought for a while, and said, Why don't we go to the palace together and ask to see the Empress Dowager?

Xiao Qin'er smiled, It's better to invite Concubine Shen into the palace for you and me to enter the palace. The effect will definitely be better.

Emperor Chengzong Wende passed away, Concubine Shen Xian was promoted to Concubine Shen, and went out of the palace to live with her son.

Ouyang Fu's face twisted instantly.

Concubine Shen lived in the palace, and she, the daughter-in-law, was the first to bear the brunt.

Ouyang Fu is used to being the master of the family, but now she is under the control of her mother-in-law, Concubine Shen, and her life is also in dire straits.

Asking her to beg Concubine Shen, Ouyang Fu felt so uncomfortable that she wanted to vomit.

She said to Ouyang Fu: The old concubine is not in good health, and it is not suitable for her to go out. Don't the fourth younger siblings want King Duanjun to go to court for business? It's not a problem to stay in the mansion all day long!

Going to court, it's my turn to talk about this kind of thing. If you want me to say, the second sister-in-law is thinking too much. As a man, if you don't prostitute, you can't ruin the family. If you stay in the room and get moldy, let him go.

Xiao Qin'er looked very thoughtful.

Ouyang Fu's face was a little ugly.

She rubbed the space between her eyebrows, To tell you the truth, my lord has nothing to do, and always loves to trouble me. In addition, the concubine is unwell and needs to be taken care of everywhere. I am in a dilemma, and I am not a human being. I just thought, Let my prince go to court to be an errand, at least the atmosphere in the mansion will be better, and my pressure will be less.

Xiao Qin'er let out a muffled laugh.

Ouyang Fu was forced to such a point that she would tell the truth regardless of her face.

Thinking of someone having a worse life than herself, Xiao Qin'er felt a little relieved.

She sincerely suggested, I have let my second sister-in-law down, and there is nothing I can do about it. You might as well go directly to the empress.

Ouyang Fu looked puzzled, I passed the greeting card to the Empress, and the Palace of the Prince of Qin replied, saying that the Empress is not free to see me for the time being. I had no other choice, so I asked the fourth sibling.

Ouyang Fu went all out and didn't even want face. He bluntly admitted that Queen Gu refused to see her.

Xiao Qin'er was surprised.

After thinking for a while, he said, As far as I know, the empress is indeed very busy every year in the first month of the twelfth lunar month. It may be true that she doesn't have time to see you, and it's not a perfunctory word.

Ouyang Fu didn't believe it, It must be something I did not do well, which annoyed the empress, so the empress refused to see me.

Second sister-in-law should relax and don't think too much. It's better to wait a little longer, and then hand in the sign to see you in February.

Ouyang Fu had no choice but to do so.

After sending Ouyang Fu away, Xiao Qin'er pondered for a while, and sent down one after another, Tell the concierge that my concubine is not feeling well recently and needs to rest. Anyone who sends a greeting card or an invitation card will be rejected.

The servants took orders and left.

Xiao Qin'er thought very clearly that if the Empress Dowager Pei did not come out of the Weiyang Palace for a day, she and Liu Yi would have to keep a low profile.

Although I don't know why the Empress Dowager Pei was forced to rest, it didn't prevent her from being cautious about it.

She also ordered her servants, Keep an eye on the lord, don't allow the lord to leave the mansion. If the lord insists on leaving the mansion, report to this princess immediately.

The grievances and hatred between brothers Liu Yi and Liu Zhao are not clear to others, but Xiao Qin'er is clear about it.

The three grew up together, and festivals were inevitable.

She would rather Liu Yi be an idle prince for the rest of her life than Qiang to offend Liu Zhao and be questioned.

Xiao Qin'er has only one idea, to preserve the glory and wealth of future generations.

...

Gu Jiu is indeed very busy.

As soon as she was busy finishing Emperor Zongwende's funeral, she went to Huanyu Iron and Steel in a carriage without stopping.

The steel furnace was re-ignited.

A new steelmaking furnace is under construction.

The surrounding area was confined, and the Jinwu Guards sent people to guard the periphery. The interior is guarded by the Four Seas Guards.

Qian Fu accompanied Gu Jiu.

Report to empress, the person you want to meet has arrived.

Gu Jiu looked at the steelmaking furnace under construction, feeling proud.

She said to Qian Fu, Bring people up.

Qian Fu winked at the people around him, and soon a man with a feminine and evil temperament and a sturdy figure was brought up.

Lan Xiang, long time no see. Gu Jiu looked at the visitor with a smile.

Lan Xiang, an actor in Prince Ning's Mansion back then, implicated tens of thousands of people because he uncovered the mystery of the kidnapping case.

Since then, Lan Xiang has disappeared from everyone's sight.

After more than ten years, Lan Xiang has completely become another person. If Qian Fu hadn't revealed his identity, Gu Jiu wouldn't have dared to admit it.

The untouchable Lan Xiang pays homage to the empress.

Lan Xiang knelt on the ground, extremely submissive.

Gu Jiu asked curiously, You didn't change your name?

Lan Xiang shook his head, The untouchables must remember the shame of the past.

Gu Jiu nodded, Tell me about your experiences over the years.

The untouchables obeyed! When they left the capital, the untouchables first worked in the Four Seas Trading Company for a while, and then went to sea with the fleet and stayed overseas for seven or eight years.

It's no wonder that his body has become so sturdy with evil spirits all over his body.

Go on.

After returning to land, under the order of Eunuch Qian, I hid in Jiangling Mansion for two years. Later, I went to the northwest, went to Xiliang with the caravan, and accompanied the Wuwang National Teacher. I just returned to the capital half a month ago.

Gu Jiu asked, How is Wuwang Guoshi?

The situation is a bit difficult, but fortunately, relying on the prestige of Wuwang Guoshi in Xiliang among the people, everything is safe and secure.

What's going on in Xiliang now?

The people are in dire straits! The Xiliang army was defeated, and then the royal court of Xiliang was mutinied. Fortunately, the prince who had no hope of the support of the national teacher successfully ascended the throne and became king.

Gu Jiu nodded, It's good news. What's Xiliang's next plan?

Lan Xiang said, Go west!

Very good!

It is in the interests of Da Zhou.

Gu Jiu asked again: Have you seen His Majesty?

Reporting to your majesty, I have seen His Majesty yesterday.

Do you know what to call you back for?

Lan Xiang shook his head, The untouchables don't know!

Gu Jiu looked at Qian Fu.

Qian Fu bowed and said: Your Majesty said that the matter is up to the empress. The empress thinks he is suitable, and your majesty has no objection. If it is not suitable, we will choose someone else.

Gu Jiu raised her eyebrows and stared at Lan Xiang, Tell me what you have learned these years and what you are good at?

Untouchables are good at lurking and assassinating.

How about the investigation?

The untouchables are at their fingertips in investigating cases and investigating people.

Gu Jiu nodded, Change your name.

She looked at Qian Fu, My palace gave you the surname Qian, Qian Xiang, would you like it?

Lan Xiang was dumbfounded.

Qian Fu kicked him, What are you doing in a daze, don't hurry up and kowtow to thank you.

Lan Xiang was overjoyed, Lan Xiang, the pariah, no, Qian Xiang, the pariah, thanked the empress for giving her a name. The empress has orders, and the pariah will go through fire and water, and will never refuse.
