For the next few days, Gu He has been searching for traces of the bellyband demon in the palace.

She is a concubine, so it is quite convenient for her to move around in the palace.Some eunuchs and guards who knew her were quite respectful when she tried to question her.He didn't give her face for talking too much.

On the prince's side, she didn't rush to investigate.The prince is precious, and there is a lot of power behind each of them. If someone sees her contacting the princes in private, it may attract the attention of those power groups.

During the day, Gu He works conscientiously.When night fell, after Han Ningzhi had finished handling the government affairs, she would go to the East Palace to study poetry and songs.I study an average of eight hours a day, which is very inspirational.

After staying in the palace for so long, Gu He was used to the idle life, and he suddenly became motivated. Not only was he not tired, but he also found it quite interesting.

On this day, when Gu He came out of the eunuch's office, seeing that it was getting late, he didn't go back to the Leng Palace to rest, and went directly to the East Palace.

Before Gu He entered the East Palace, in order not to attract people's gossip, he would use all kinds of sorcery to sneak into Han Ningzhi's bedroom quietly.

However, after several days of observation, Gu He discovered that Han Ningzhi's position in the court was much more secure than she had imagined.She entered and exited Han Ningzhi's bedroom as a court lady, at most she would attract some ambiguous looks, and no one would make a fuss about it.

According to those people's thinking, it is understandable for Her Royal Highness to have several concubines.

Regarding the fact that others regarded her as Han Ning's concubine, although Gu He felt a little uncomfortable, he was not overly disgusted.

After all, it is better to be treated as a concubine than to be found out that Han Ningzhi's godmother is a cabbage monster.

Gu He swaggered into the East Palace.

Qiu Yan was trimming flower branches in the yard, when she saw Gu He walking in, she hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "Miss Gu, you are here."

Gu He helped Qiu Yan up, and said with a smile: "You don't have to be so polite, you salute every time you see me, I'm embarrassed."

Qiu Yan smiled gently, "You are a friend of Her Majesty the Empress Dowager. As a slave, it is normal for me to salute you. You don't need to feel embarrassed. When you become a formal master, I will treat you with more respect. .”

Gu He supported Qiu Yan's arm, looking at Qiu Yan's delicate face, the more satisfied he looked.

She is good-looking, understands etiquette, and can take care of others. She is simply the perfect candidate for a daughter-in-law in her mind.

After Qiu Yan got up, she asked Gu He in a low voice, "Miss Gu, are you free?"

Gu He nodded, "What is it?"

Qiu Yan pulled Gu He's arm, glanced at the backyard, and signaled Gu He to follow her.

Gu He didn't think much, he raised his heels and walked over.

Further into the backyard is the warehouse, where some tools that are not commonly used are kept. Usually, no one comes, and it is very secluded.

Qiu Yan looked around, saw no one around, carefully took out a sachet from his sleeve, and handed it to Gu He, "I asked for this from a familiar imperial physician. , can add to the fun."

Add to the fun?

Gu He couldn't laugh or cry, Qiu Yan really regarded her as a bed-warming concubine.

Qiu Yan looked at Gu He with concern, "You and I are both court ladies, I know it is not easy for a court lady to climb up, Her Royal Highness is cold-hearted, since you have fallen into His Highness's eyes, you should be more Work hard, don't let the blessing you get slip away like this."

That's a good point.

But she is not the concubine of His Royal Highness, so she doesn't need this sachet at all.

and……

In the harem, it is taboo to use this method to compete for favor.

It doesn't matter to her, the identity of the concubine is just a cover.If Han Ningzhi had other concubines in the future, Qiu Yan was as kind as he is now, and if he wanted to help those concubines consolidate their status, and offered to send sachets, those concubines would definitely accept them for the sake of their position.

There is no impenetrable wall in the world. As long as this sachet is accepted, it will be discovered sooner or later.Once discovered, it is a felony, the kind of felony that will be punished with death.

Gu He raised his eyes, looked at Qiu Yan's clear gaze, and shook his head.

She must have thought too much. A kind girl like Qiu Yan must be asking the imperial physician for this sachet because she is not familiar with the rules of the palace.

Gu He was afraid that Qiu Yan would do this again in the future, so he kindly reminded Qiu Yan, "In the harem, it is a felony to use warm incense to compete for favor. You should not ask the imperial physician for such things again. If someone with a heart grasps this trick, You will suffer too."

Qiu Yan's expression suddenly became flustered.

She gripped the sachet tightly and explained urgently, "I don't understand these things, so I thought this sachet could be used. Miss Gu, trust me, I really didn't mean to harm you, I'm sorry, I'm too ignorant, you Don't take it to heart."

Gu He smiled reassuringly, "It's okay, you also made an unintentional mistake."

Qiu Yan looked at Gu He gratefully.

Gu He said to Qiu Yan: "Hurry up and destroy the sachet, Ning Zhi is still waiting for me, I'll go there first."

Qiu Yan nodded and couldn't help but thank you, "Thank you, Miss Gu, this time I really thank you."

Gu He smiled, turned and left the backyard.

Qiu Yan, with reddish eyes, kept staring at Gu He's back. After confirming that Gu He would not come back, she let go of her clenched hands, looked at the sachet in her hand, her eyes gradually became cold, "Unexpectedly, this Gu He , quite smart."

Although Gu He seemed careless and had no intentions, after the test just now, she was sure that Gu He was not what he showed, just a weak concubine who didn't understand anything.

It seems that it will take a lot of effort to get rid of Gu He.

After Gu He left the backyard, he went straight to Han Ningzhi's bedroom.

The palace maids and eunuchs who passed by looked down on Gu He, a nameless concubine, all showing unkind eyes.

As Gu He walked all the way, he couldn't help sighing in his heart.

It's better to be Qiu Yan, who is kind-hearted and never shows her face.

Gu He decided that no matter how much the Empress Dowager objected, after Han Ningzhi came to the throne, she would push Qiu Yan to the position of imperial concubine.

In fact, with Qiu Yan's character, it is also possible to be a queen.It's just that this royal marriage, the most important thing is family status, Qiu Yan is just a maid in charge, her status is low, even if she supports her, Qiu Yan is not qualified to sit in the back seat.

However, the noble concubine is also good, as long as Qiu Yan can win the favor of Han Ningzhi, Qiu Yan, the noble concubine, can completely stand up to the queen.

Thinking of this, Gu He became inexplicably excited.

When the first emperor passed away, the thing she regretted most was that she could no longer fight in the palace.If Qiu Yan really wanted to climb up to the position of imperial concubine, then as Qiu Yan's godmother, she would definitely do her best to help Qiu Yan.

Gu He rubbed his hands.

She, a young expert in palace fighting, is finally about to come out of the arena again.Thinking of this, she was more than excited, she was in tears.
