502 I won't show up
Gu Xiaoxi and Nanny Yang put on invisibility talismans and walked to the door. Nanny Zheng opened the door and saw the Seventh Prince and the servant Nanny Liu appear at the door.
As soon as the door opened, the seventh prince rushed in. Seeing the blood on the ground, he burst into tears.
"Young master, please don't get too close. Be careful not to get sick." Nanny Liu hurriedly grabbed the Seventh Prince.
When Gu Xiaoxi heard this, she couldn't help but look at Aunt Liu.
Then she took Matron Yang away and sent her out of Concubine Zheng's palace. She asked Matron Yang to go back first while she stayed to wait and see.
"You have to be careful. There are probably more than just Concubine Dong's people here, there are also the Queen's people." Nanny Yang reminded Gu Xiaoxi.
"Don't worry, I won't show up, I'm just here to take a look." Gu Xiaoxi didn't tell Nanny Yang about her suspicions, because she just felt that there might be something wrong with Nanny Liu, and it was hard to say anything about something without evidence.
"Okay, then I'll go back first." After saying that, Nanny Yang turned and left.
Nanny Yang had an invisibility talisman on her, so Gu Xiaoxi didn't have to worry too much. She jumped over the wall and returned to Concubine Zheng.
The news of Concubine Zheng vomiting blood spread out immediately, and Nanny Zheng invited the imperial physicians. After more than an hour of treatment, the imperial physicians finally left.
The Seventh Prince has been guarding here the entire time, and Concubine Zheng actually feels that her breathing has become much smoother.
After waiting for everyone to leave, Concubine Zheng asked the servants to leave.
Only the mother and son were left in the room. No, there was also Gu Xiaoxi, but they couldn't see her.
Concubine Zheng knew that her son was precocious because of her, so she whispered to him, "There's something wrong with the nanny next to you. Don't believe what she says. You can't trust anyone in the palace except Nanny Zheng."
"Mother, please don't scare me." The Seventh Prince became nervous when he heard his mother say that.
"Silly son, I'm much better now, but I was just pretending for them to see. Remember what I said, get closer to your father, and let him come to my palace often. Your father is the only one we can rely on." Concubine Zheng reminded her son of what Gu Xiaoxi had said.
The Seventh Prince nodded sensibly, "Don't worry, Mother. I understand what you said. Take good care of me, and I will make Father like me."
Seeing how sensible her son was, Concubine Zheng felt relieved. Gradually, fatigue came over her and she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
The Seventh Prince waited for his mother to rest before walking out of the room.
Gu Xiaoxi saw a feeling of youth and old age on the face of the Seventh Prince, a bit like when she first met Afeng.
After the Seventh Prince went out, he returned to his residence, and Gu Xiaoxi followed them.
After waiting for the Seventh Prince to fall asleep, Madam Liu came out of the room. Seeing that there was no one around, she went to the back yard and entered one of the rooms.
After a while, people came out. Besides Madam Liu, there was also a servant.
Gu Xiaoxi followed the servant out of Concubine Zheng's palace and came to the Queen's bedroom.
Gu Xiaoxi originally thought that Granny Liu was at most Concubine Dong's person, but she didn't expect that she was actually the Queen's spy planted in Concubine Zheng's palace.
It would be too obvious to kill Concubine Zheng, the Queen's man, directly, which would mean that this nanny would not be able to stay with the Seventh Prince.
She returned to Concubine Zheng's palace again and entered the room where Madam Liu lived. About half an hour later, she came out of the room and knocked on Concubine Zheng's door.
Nanny Zheng was guarding inside. When she heard the knock on the door, she got up and opened it.
She opened the door and found no one there. Just as she was about to close it, she heard a familiar voice.
"Madame Zheng, I just felt something was wrong with Madame Liu, so I followed her and discovered that she was the Queen's man.
I've already done something to her legs. When she becomes lame, replace her with someone you trust to serve the Seventh Prince, to prevent her from doing anything bad to him." Gu Xiaoxi finished the story in one breath.
"Thank you, Master. I understand now." Madam Zheng clasped her hands together gratefully.
"Okay, I'm leaving now. I'll come back three nights from now." After saying this, Gu Xiaoxi left Concubine Zheng's residence with peace of mind.
When I left the palace, it was almost dawn.
After a night of tossing and turning, I found a place on the roadside to have breakfast, and then went back to sleep after eating and drinking my fill.
On the other side, the man with a mustache went to Lairu Temple. After asking around, he found out where Gu Xiaoxi lived, so he went to the inn to ask.
The waiter at the inn told him that the guest had not returned after going up the mountain during the day, so he hurriedly followed the scent to look for him.
He found the back mountain of Lai Ru Temple, which was covered with forests. The air disappeared immediately. He went into the mountain without giving up and searched there for the whole night.
After dawn, he came down the mountain exhausted, had breakfast in the town, and then stayed in the inn that Gu Xiaoxi had mentioned before.
…
Three days passed in a flash, and Gu Xiaoxi came to Concubine Zheng's palace again.
After the poison in Concubine Zheng was removed, her complexion and appetite improved a lot.
The next day, Nanny Zheng found an opportunity to return to the Zheng family and brought back a nanny who knew medical skills.
The reason for this was nominally to show Madam Liu her leg that had suddenly become lame, but in reality, the new Madam Jiang was there to serve the Seventh Prince.
As night fell, Nanny Zheng asked Nanny Jiang to keep an eye on the old slave and told the Seventh Prince to sleep well in his room tonight.
In fact, even without his mother saying it, the Seventh Prince knew that a master must have come to treat his mother, otherwise his mother would not have recovered so quickly after being ill for so long.
"Don't worry, no matter what happens, I won't go out until I hear your call." The seventh prince said obediently.
"Seventh Prince, you..." Nanny Zheng didn't expect that the Seventh Prince had guessed it.
"Please go quickly and don't keep the master waiting for too long." The Seventh Prince urged Nanny Zheng.
Nanny Zheng nodded and hurried over to wait.
Gu Xiaoxi had arrived a long time ago and walked around the yard to see how many spies were there.
The yard was much cleaner than before. After looking at it, she knocked on Concubine Zheng's door quietly.
Nanny Zheng opened the door and waited for Gu Xiaoxi to show up before going to wait at the door.
Gu Xiaoxi first performed some examinations on Concubine Zheng and then gave her another injection.
Only after the acupuncture was completed did he start talking to Concubine Zheng.
"How are you feeling?"
"Your medical skills are amazing. I don't cough so much anymore. I was just pretending to do so." Concubine Zheng said with admiration.
"That's good. I will give you another injection in three days, and you will be completely fine then. You still need to take medicine to treat your cough, and it will take at least a month." After giving the instructions, Gu Xiaoxi gave Concubine Zheng a porcelain bottle.
Concubine Zheng told Gu Xiaoxi about what had happened in the palace in the past few days, because she found that Nanny Yang trusted this master very much, and maybe the master could give some advice.
After hearing this, Gu Xiaoxi said, "You can't kill this person yet, nor can you drive him away, because whether he dies or you take him away, the Queen will definitely send someone over again."
