Fake concubine, real queen

The corner of He Gu's mouth twitched, and for a moment he didn't know whether to ask his aunt how much money the Taoist extorted, or what he had fooled her.

but……

He Guke still remembers that weird piece of "Thinking and Everything Comes into Jade". This jade led him to have strange dreams, and then disappeared even weirder. The jade must be famous, and the Taoist priest may really understand it spirits……

He Gu was curious, so he asked his aunt. As expected, although Lu Shi was a little bit embarrassed at first, and refused to admit it, but He Gu only asked a few more questions, and finally she couldn't resist her nephew's sincere eyes. admitted.

"500 taels?!"

He Gu's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe it: "Even if it's such a trick, my aunt gave him 500 taels?!"

Lu's face was obviously a little uneasy.

It turned out that these days, Mrs. Yan was worried because of her grandson's death of his wife, and she threatened not to marry for life, so Mrs. Lu accompanied her to the Guanyin Temple by Guangting Lake.

When Mrs. Yan was chatting with the aunt in the temple, she was waiting outside the temple gate, walking for a walk, and somehow met a yellow-faced Taoist priest. The Taoist priest only saw her once, and explained Lu's heart at that time. Worrying and thinking, he immediately made a divination for the "young boy" in the lady's family. The yellow-faced Taoist frowned, pinched his fingers and muttered silently, and opened his mouth to tell Lu, this little son of yours will be born in the future. If you have relatives, don't worry about it, but he is going to suffer a catastrophe soon, and I'm afraid he will be hurt to some extent, and if he doesn't make trouble, he will see blood——

Mrs. Lu was glad when he said that his nephew was related. After all, her mother-in-law said that the old lady was worried about this. It was an auspicious word, but before Lu could be happy for a long time, he was frightened by the bloody words of the Taoist priest, and his smile froze on his face.

The disaster of blood and light is something everyone is afraid of, how to resolve it?

That is naturally the magic weapon sold exclusively by Taoist priests——

Gui He Dan.

500 taels a piece, no deceit for old people, my wife buys it back to resolve disasters for nephews, you can't buy it at a loss, you can't be fooled.

buy it buy it!

The Taoist said so.

He Gu took a small celadon vase handed to him by Mrs. Lu, shook it for a while, and heard a round thing rolling around in it. It didn't weigh much and was light.

His expression was indescribable.

Well, he also knows that Aunt, who is always careful and frugal, is willing to take out 500 taels in order to "resolve" some "disaster" for him. It can be seen that He Gu first asked Yan Zhiya to give it to his uncle. Seeing a doctor also solved Yan Dingye's problem of going to the house all day long, so that he could enter the Imperial College to study, Lu always remembered it in his heart.

but……

But no matter how I think about it, I still feel that buying such a medicine pill for 500 taels... What a loss!

Master He Xiaohou, who lived frugally for more than half a year, felt heartache from the bottom of his heart.

Madam Yan said: "Forget it, after all, it's your aunt's wish, so Gu'er will accept it."

He Gu: "..."

Having said that, how could he not accept it?How can you still not understand?

In short, the whole Yan family, young and old, are so earnest that thousands of words can be combined into one sentence - we have broken our hearts because of you, so you can hurry up and continue!

After Lu's finished speaking, Yan Dingye was also forced to persuade him, but he was clumsy and had nothing to say. He racked his brains and scratched his head, and finally he could only choke out one sentence: "Cousin, what are you talking about?" ... As the saying goes, if the old does not go, the new does not come."

He Gu: "?"

... If at the beginning of the year in Zongshan, the one who died was really the "Eldest Princess", and He Gu married Sister Yu'er, then at this moment when he heard Yan Dingye's words, he would definitely curse someone.

Fortunately, He Gu was patient, and finally persevered and listened to the nagging. Seeing that he insisted on going his own way, Old General Yan and Mrs. Yan really had nothing to do with him, so they had to agree to let him accept the military dispatch document and go to Kunqiong Mountain , I'll talk about the continuation later.

Only then did it finally subside, the family had a good meal, General Yan and Mrs. Yan were finally able to talk to their grandson, at the dinner table, although it was unavoidable, they complained more or less. Those who feel sorry for their grandson, afraid that he is still sad because of the death of the eldest princess, will comfort him from time to time intentionally or unintentionally.

But this time around the bow and horse meeting, He Gu can be used again, and the old general Yan is still happy for his grandson, after all, he is a general, no matter how gentle the country is, it can't compare with the military camp on the battlefield It made people's blood boil, and before leaving, he specially handed He Gu a letter, saying that he was told to go to Kunqiong Mountain, but this letter can be handed over to a general surnamed She——

When He Gu saw the letter, he knew that it was probably from old general Yan's old department, or had a friendship with him, so his grandfather specifically asked him to take care of him.

He Gu didn't refuse, he readily accepted it.

After all, in a place like a military camp, there are many people with multiple connections. It may be a little bit of sweetness for those who do other jobs, but for them, it is equivalent to an extra life.

Although there is a distance between Kunqiong Mountain and Chenghe River, they are both in the Northland after all, and the route is the same. Before He Gulin left, he told Yan Dingye to pack his bags at the beginning of the morning tomorrow. Meet in front of the Hou Mansion, and be a companion on the road.

It's just that He Gu didn't expect that he was waiting for Yan Dingye, and Yan Dingye was waiting for someone else, and it was a coincidence that it was none other than the heir of the Korean government, Liu Jianshan.

Looking at Yan Dingye's temperament, he couldn't match Liu Jianshan's style, but He Gu didn't ask much about how he got an appointment with him.

I have to ask for an explanation, but Liu Jianshan is probably the only one who has a weird temper. Seeing a fool like Yan Dingye, he thinks it's easy to clean up. Let's tease him with a possibility, right?

Forget it, Lord He Xiaohou has no time to worry about this right now, he is thinking about going back to the mansion quickly so that he can see His Highness the last time before he leaves.

However, when they went back, they saw horses and horses scurrying in the front yard of the Princess Mansion, busy packing boxes, while Lan Xiao took a list and checked the packed boxes and cages one by one.

He Gu was taken aback, and said, "Why are there so many? I'm going to the military camp, and I'm not carrying a dowry to be a wife."

Lan Xiao heard He Gu's voice, turned around, and hurriedly explained: "No, no, the Lord Hou ordered you to ride lightly and simply, the slaves will naturally remember that only the first two carts belong to you, and the rest are from the shop assistants. Things to use to open a branch in Beidi."

He turned around and shouted, "Jiang Dahong, come here."

Sure enough, a thin man with a stature like a bamboo pole came over. When he saw He Gu, he didn't talk much, he just saluted and greeted him immediately, and he seemed to know the rules.

Lan Xiao said: "Da Hong is old, I taught him to open a branch of the silk and satin shop this time, if Hou Ye has any orders, you can find them..."

The two of them hadn't spoken yet, but a little maid came rushing in from the gate of the mansion, bowed her head when she saw He Guna, and said repeatedly in a crying voice: "It's not good, it's not good, the girl is not good, my son-in-law Grandpa, go and have a look!"

This came out suddenly, and He Gu didn't understand what was going on for a while, who was the "girl", but Zhengye who had been following him saw at a glance that it was Chuntong, the maid beside Miss Yan, and immediately changed his face, He asked anxiously, "What's wrong with Miss Yan?"

Chun Tong was so anxious that she almost bit her tongue, she didn't speak very quickly, she was so anxious to hear that it took a long time to understand what she said.

It turned out that it was Yan Zhiya's medical clinic, who came to destroy the place.

Although the Yan Zhiyana Medical Center has been open for a short time, it is already well-known in the capital. The doctor's business is based on seniority, especially in a place with a long history under the roots of the imperial city. Every industry also has its own "rules". If newcomers don't abide by the rules, they will be squeezed out more or less.

After all, Yan Zhiya was only eighteen or nineteen years old, and she was a daughter, so she had already attracted the attention of a group of people since the day Huichun Hall opened. I don't mind.

When Huichuntang first opened, there were many people with the mentality of watching a joke, especially colleagues, who secretly held their strengths, waiting to see the film of this little girl from the countryside who didn't know how to be beaten by reality in the capital. However, it turned out that not only did Huichuntang not close its doors, but it could not continue to open, but it became more and more prosperous in the past half a year, and there were many people seeking medical advice.

Not only that, but in just half a year, the reputation of Huichuntang spread as fast as the ripples created by a stone thrown into the water, especially among ordinary people.

Now some people couldn't sit still, and hurriedly asked people to either disguise themselves or observe secretly, staring at the medical center day and night, scaring Chun Tong to the point of fear.

Yan Zhiya was very calm.

Because Huichuntang can continue to do so, there is actually no secret, only "cheap" and "diligent", that's all.

——Even if you let them know, if they can't be bothered, it's as cheap as her, waiting for a doctor in person at twelve hours a day, always on call, and never rejecting anyone, it's useless to know.

Even if they could do it, they couldn't do it better than her.

Miss Yan originally had this self-confidence, because she felt that her liver was very good.

However, the facts proved that Yan Zhiya was still too young, and her assumption was that the other party was still willing to be reasonable and be a human being, but she never expected that in fact, she had no intention of being a human being at all.

When He Gu arrived at Huichun Hall, the well-organized shop was in a mess. The drawers and cabinets containing herbs were overturned, and the bottles and jars were thrown all over the floor. , scattered medicinal materials were thrown all over the ground, it seemed that after a scuffle and pushing, Yan Zhiya fell to the ground, her hair was also messed up, and there was a clear five-finger print on the left face, which was very glaring.

A dozen servants gathered in front of the clinic, and in the middle was a wife in her fifties and a woman of about the same age.

When He Gu and Zheng Ye came, what they saw happened to be the woman raising her hand to grab Yan Zhiya's hair.

Seeing Yan Zhiya's appearance, Zhengye immediately gasped.

He Gu shouted angrily: "Stop! At the feet of the Son of Heaven, is it possible that you don't have the law of the king in your eyes!"

The woman was taken aback by the yelling, and turned her head to see a handsome young man in royal blue brocade clothes looking at him with a cold face. Before she could react, she was about to ask her wife for instructions, but suddenly Feeling a pain in her wrist, she was held tightly by a hand. The owner of that hand was so strong that she was pinched like an iron cage, and she was in pain, unable to move.

The mother-in-law hardly saw clearly how the young master approached her in just two breaths, but let out a painful cry.

Seeing this, the lady sneered and said, "Which family are you? My family handles private affairs, what has nothing to do with you, and you want to meddle in your own business?"

He Gu Han said: "Since it's a private matter of Madam's family, how can lynching be used in broad daylight and in public?"

The madam said: "She diagnosed my own daughter-in-law to death and took her life. Such a crime is heinous. Why, I just asked someone to slap her twice, that's enough?"

Chun Tong has followed since just now, and when she saw Yan Zhiya's appearance, she rushed to her side, sobbing and calling girl, while brushing her loose hair, seeing the red marks on her face, she couldn't help but immediately raised her head when she heard the words, and looked Looking at the lady, she said angrily: "You are talking nonsense, your young wife clearly had a dystocia by herself, so what has she to do with the girl?!"

"The girl said earlier that your young lady's fetal position is not right, she is depressed during pregnancy, she doesn't eat well on weekdays, and her health is very poor. If she doesn't marry a child, she will only let the young lady If it’s too late, then it’s more likely to be bad than good, it’s Madam you don’t agree with, and then your young wife is gone, how can you blame the girl?”

Mrs. Zhao sneered and said: "Even if my daughter-in-law didn't go there when she personally delivered the baby, didn't this little hoof surnamed Yan take care of the fecundity medicine and see the doctor in person? Wan'er had dystocia, don't blame her now , and who am I to blame?"

The corner of Yan Zhiya's mouth was soaked with blood, she raised her finger and tapped the corner of her mouth, glanced at the blood stain on her fingertips, then stood up and said: "Young Madam was born weak, not enough since she was born, and her temperament is weak and sentimental , when she was pregnant with a child, there was almost only a skeleton left. Seeing that she was pregnant, your family didn't care about her physique, and just gave her all kinds of nourishing herbs and meals, and forced her to have After eating, it doesn't take too much trouble to have an abortion, but there are so many medical clinics in Beijing, every family has checked her pulse and asked Madam to ask another expert, don't you really understand why?"

Mrs. Zhao snorted and said, "Don't talk about it with me. As long as you admit that it was you who prescribed the medicine, I should send you to the official today and pay for my daughter-in-law and grandson's life." !"

He Gudao: "Mr. Yan is a citizen of a good family, not a slave. If you don't see an official, Madam should go and report to the official first, and the Yamen of Bianjing Prefecture will come and fetch him in person. How can the emperor let you carelessly care about human life?"

Mrs. Zhao frowned and said coldly: "Which younger generation are you? It's your turn to meddle in business? If you really want to, ask your elders to come out and talk. What do you know?"

He Gu said: "That's not a coincidence, I am the one who decides in my family, if Madam has anything to say, just say it straight."

Finally someone at the side couldn't stand it anymore and reminded me.

"... Ma'am, this is Changyang Marquis He Xiaohou, that's... that's the son-in-law."

Mrs. Zhao froze in place when she heard the words.

---------

Mrs. Zhao, who took the lead in making trouble today, is actually not a stranger. He Gu met her son, Zhao Mo, who made a mess and angered the emperor when he was choosing a son-in-law earlier.

After all, Xu still cared about his identity, Madam Zhao finally gave up today, only made a few bluff threats, and left in despair with her family and servants.

After they left, He Gu saw that Yan Zhiya took out a small jar from the drawer very skillfully, and applied the medicine on her face——

...That movement is so skillful that it makes people feel distressed.

He Gu said: "Isn't it the first time?"

Yan Zhiya knew what he was asking, and said: "No, there are always people who are provoked to make trouble in the shop, but today this one is extraordinarily stupid, she believes everything others say."

He Gu said: "Someone asked her to do this?"

Yan Zhiya said: "Yes, they eat and sleep all day thinking about how to kill me, and it's not unusual for them to make trouble for no reason every now and then."

He Gu said: "Why didn't you tell me?"

Yan Zhiya said: "It's useless, even if they are all caught and beaten, there will always be new ones in two days."

Zhengye couldn't help frowning and said, "Who did it? Why do you hate the girl so much?"

Chuntong wiped her tears and said: "Of course they hate it. Other medical centers in Beijing don't accept intractable diseases, stubborn old diseases, and girls who are not accepted by others. People say that our doctors in Huichuntang, The medical skills are better than all of them, so they naturally refused."

He Gu frowned and said: "So that's the case, why are you so despicable? If you can't cure yourself, you don't allow others to treat you. Is it possible that those who are sick must lie in bed and wait to die?"

Yan Zhiya said: "It's not that they can't cure them, they just don't want to cure them. The medicinal materials for these diseases are costly and dangerous. It's hard to guarantee a slight chance of winning. They spend so much time and energy taking risks. They only make this little money, and they don't want to do this loss-making business."

He Gu said: "I asked someone to renovate the shop for the girl. Tomorrow I will leave for the north. The girl should have heard Lan Xiao say it. How about I keep a few people and help the girl when the time comes... ..."

Yan Zhiya suddenly sighed and said, "No need."

He Gu was taken aback, and said: "What, no need?"

Yan Zhiya spread her hands and said: "To tell you the truth, business in the capital is too difficult. Just for the little money of the medical clinic, I will be beaten up every now and then. I really don't want to do it. After the calculation, just return it to Lord Hou."

What Yan Zhiya said is indeed true, these days are only counted as the rewards given by Empress Chen, and they are enough for her to eat for several lifetimes.

Yan Zhiya had made up her mind, and He Gu didn't persuade her, but as soon as she heard that He Gu and Zheng Ye were going to the Northland tomorrow, she suddenly felt lucky, and said that she wanted to go to the Northland with the young master, so she had better look around. Scenery, to comfort her fragile heart that was inexplicably beaten.

He Gu didn't think too much about it, after all, Yan Zhiya is a doctor, and she is not afraid of not being able to make a living wherever she goes, so she immediately agreed.

When he returned to the princess' mansion, it was almost mid-moon, and the boy told him that the third prince had been waiting for him for a long time, so he had already rested.

These two have a good relationship. The Third Prince lived in the Princess Mansion for a period of time before. He Gu has been ordering his servants to clean Pei Zhaoheng's yard on time and leave it empty for him. Hearing this, He Gu immediately went to that courtyard. courtyard.

But no one.

Not only did he not see His Highness the Third Highness, he also did not see Brother Chengwei, nor did he even see the servant girl who was keeping watch at night.

He Gu had already told Zhengye to rest, and he didn't allow the servant girls to follow him, so at this moment, he went to the courtyard of His Highness the Third Highness, but he was in vain, and he was the only one left facing the half-round bright moon.

At this moment, He Gu heard the soft sound of the strings being plucked.

The voice is very small, but Master He Xiaohou's ears are sharp——

The voice actually came from the main courtyard.

The place where "Sister Yu'er" lives.

Of course He Gu knew who was playing the piano, but he suddenly remembered the night before the Qixi Festival banquet last year, the appearance of "His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess" playing the piano under the moonlight in only his middle clothes.

As soon as he thought of that scene, He Gu's heart beat a little faster, and he went to the main courtyard by accident——

Entering the door, bypassing the courtyard wall, and sure enough, in front of the courtyard under the moon, I saw a tall and straight figure sitting upright.

Cheng Wei was not there, and there were no servants waiting for him, the moonlight was like dancing, and the sound of the zither was soft and melodious like running water, which further made the figure of the third highness's back look lonely, showing a bit of loneliness.

In fact, He Gu didn't like this feeling very much, but at the moment he was reluctant to break this atmosphere.

Pei Zhaoheng still heard his footsteps.

The sound of the piano stopped, and he turned and stood up.

He Gu looked at the violin, then at Pei Zhaoheng, and said, "...I have always kept this violin."

Pei Zhaoheng didn't answer him, but walked up to He Gu in two steps, raised his hand to touch the strands of hair falling from his temples, and said in a low voice, "It's too late."

He Gu said: "Something happened temporarily today, I..."

But before he finished speaking, he was pulled into his arms.

He Gu's head rested on Pei Zhaoheng's shoulder, and he happened to be able to smell the faint sandalwood fragrance of His Highness the Third Highness.

The third highness hugged him quite tightly, and He Gu felt a little uncomfortable.

On weekdays, Pei Zhaoheng's feelings are always restrained, and He Gu has never felt so many complicated emotions from his hug.

Today is the first time.

Pei Zhaoheng whispered in his ear: "...I don't want you to go."

He Gu felt Pei Zhaoheng's warm breath pat behind his ear.

Pei Zhaoheng's voice was very low, and He Gu's earlobe was bitten lightly by the sharp and neat teeth, and his scalp felt numb all of a sudden.

"...Zihuan, do you know why?"

The voice of the Third Highness is already very low, but very soft, it sounds like bewitching to He Gu's ears, He Xiaohou Ye has never seen such a Third Highness, neither the serious appearance before, nor the two times before When it's cloudy and rainy, don't say a word and just be ruthless.

He Gu felt His Highness's hand moving on his back, and there was a downward trend, and his head was buzzing even more.

...Who can stand up to this? !

Even though he was still apprehensive, he couldn't refuse such a Third Highness!

He Gu held back for a long time, finally couldn't hold it anymore, and said: "Let's go back to the side courtyard first..."

"Why do you want to go back?"

"This is the place where you and I got married. Zihuan and I drank wine and made oaths... don't you remember?"

He Gu was taken aback when he heard the words, but the image of him and the "Eldest Princess" drinking that glass of Hebei wine together on the night of his wedding quickly came to mind.

……

"Sister Yu'er, after drinking this glass of wine, in the future, you and I will be a husband and wife, sharing weal and woe, and sharing weal and woe. In this life, I will never let go of your hand, and I will never let you suffer any grievances and let others bully you." You have every penny, and this heart is unswerving."

"Let's grow old together and raise our eyebrows together, okay?"

……

Master He Xiaohou remembered it all, and his face turned red like a monkey's ass, but he was right in front of His Highness the Third Highness, and there was nowhere to hide, so he could only look sideways and not look at him, in order to escape.

"At that time, I didn't know that His Highness was... a man."

As soon as He Gu said this, he felt that the Third Highness above his head stopped breathing, and suddenly fell silent.

After a while, he spoke again.

"...So, what Zihuan said back then doesn't count now?"

He Gu was startled, looked up, and happened to bump into the eyes of the Third Highness's pair of peach blossoms that shone like water, but at the moment he lowered his eyes to look at He Gu, his eyes were a little wordless and gloomy.

Master He Xiaohou suddenly softened his heart.

He was ruthless, and said: "Then... Of course not, I said it, so it still counts."

Pei Zhaoheng paused and said in a low voice: "Since that's the case... I'll be here today, okay?"

He Gu: "..."

Can he say bad!

...Naturally, if it is not good, it will be good.

However, when he was about to set off on the second day and get on his horse, Master He Xiaohou realized——

...fuck, he's bad.
