504 I don't know if it's related
Gu Xiaoxi looked at the murderous look in the emperor's eyes and muttered, "You bastard emperor, do you suspect the queen did it?"
"Who else could it be except the one in the harem? But I can't understand why she would jump out at this time?" The emperor murmured.
Eunuch Lin thought about it carefully and suddenly remembered something: "Your Majesty, this old servant suddenly remembered something. I wonder if it is related?"
"Hurry up and tell me!" the emperor roared irritably.
Eunuch Lin then reported what he had remembered to the Emperor: "Your Majesty, for some unknown reason, the Empress sent two maids to Concubine Zheng."
Concubine Zheng?
The seventh prince's mother has been ill all the time.
The emperor's face darkened, and he immediately understood the queen's intention.
"Hmph! This old bitch seems to have a plan in mind, but doesn't he even look at the current situation?" He slammed the table angrily.
"If that's the case, I'm afraid Concubine Zheng..." Eunuch Lin knew that the Queen would definitely use any means to get what she wanted.
"Empress Zheng's health has not been good. I'm afraid she can't protect the seventh child. Order that the seventh child be sent to Queen Mother and raised by her until he reaches adulthood!" The Emperor thought this method was more appropriate. After all, it was not time for him and that old bitch to completely break up.
"Your Majesty is wise!" Eunuch Lin complimented him twice and then left.
Gu Xiaoxi pondered it carefully in the space and felt that the emperor's move was indeed wise, but she didn't know if Concubine Zheng could understand it?
In her opinion, the Seventh Prince was already twelve years old and would have his own palace in a few years. Besides, the Seventh Prince was precocious and understood what was happening.
The most important thing now is the safety of the Seventh Prince, and the Queen Mother will not treat the Seventh Prince unfairly.
Why……
The emperor took a deep breath and felt very annoyed thinking about the queen's affairs. He didn't know when it would end.
"Someone come here!" he shouted.
Two secret guards came out from the dark and stepped forward to salute.
"Since the queen feels too idle, find her something to do so that she won't have any wild thoughts in the palace," the emperor ordered.
"Yes!" they both answered at the same time.
"Deal with all those corrupt officials for whom there is evidence!" The emperor originally wanted to keep some people for a while before dealing with them, but now it seems there is no need to wait.
"Understood!" The two men saluted and retreated.
After this night's ordeal, the emperor felt like he was half dead. After all, he was old.
I originally thought that finding that treasure would restore my youth and allow me to live a few more years.
Now I'm afraid that things will go against my wishes. It would be good if I can find the next crown prince before I die.
Gu Xiaoxi looked at the sighing emperor and suddenly felt that he was also a pitiful old man. After all, it was the ancestral precept to let the princes fight, and he could not be unfilial.
The emperor went into the inner room and lay down in annoyance. Without all those messy things, he fell asleep quickly.
Gu Xiaoxi took the opportunity to leave the imperial study and leave the palace.
After leaving the palace, she realized that she had made a mistake. Should she have followed the two secret guards to see what they were going to do?
That’s all!
She is exhausted from all the daily work during this period, so she should have a good rest tonight.
However, when she returned to her residence, she found that the man with the mustache was waiting at the door.
When she saw the mustache, she turned around and left, finding a deserted place to sleep in her space.
The mustache man arrived shortly after dark and knocked on the door for a long time, but no one opened it. He couldn't see any formations overhead, so he was sure no one was home, so he simply sat at the door and waited.
Gu Xiaoxi slept in the space for a whole day, and when she came out of the space, it was dark again.
She walked around the street to the back door and knocked on Yingsan's door.
Even if Ying San is not at home, there will always be someone waiting there.
When he opened the door, he found out that Yingsan was not at home, so he had to ask the servants to bring Yingsan back.
Ying San took his men out to collect information, and when he came back it was almost noon the next day.
When Ying San came back, he packed a few dishes from the tavern and took them back to eat with Gu Xiaoxi.
While eating, Gu Xiaoxi told Ying San what happened in the palace yesterday and asked about the situation outside the palace.
Nothing happened outside the palace yesterday, and the night was relatively peaceful.
Just as Ying San was saying this, a servant came in and reported, "Third brother, several ministers in the capital had their homes raided this morning."
"This speed is really fast!" Gu Xiaoxi murmured.
Ying San asked the servants to withdraw and asked in a low voice: "Sister Xiaoxi, what should we do now?"
"The emperor is angry. Let's wait and see. Maybe the remnants of the queen and his subordinates outside the palace who want to stand out and take credit will do it for us." Gu Xiaoxi felt that since the emperor had sent people to take action, they didn't need to waste time on this matter.
If so, what is she going to do now?
She had to go back to the village, firstly to avoid the little mustache, and secondly to see if there was any news from Lao Ting.
"Tell Sixth Master that the Emperor's men outside the palace should take action, and we outside should hold our ground for now and wait and see what happens.
Let's go back to the village and rest for a few days so I can think about what to do next." She was indeed exhausted during this period.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Ying San responded.
After lunch, Gu Xiaoxi left through the back door and returned to the farm.
Lao Ting had not returned yet. He, Yuanhe and Yu were sorting herbs in the yard. When they saw their master coming back, they put down what they were holding and went to greet him.
"Has anyone come to visit while I've been away?" Gu Xiaoxi asked.
He Yuan replied, "That master came and left when he learned that you were not at home."
oh!
Gu Xiaoxi didn't expect that guy to come. Could it be that he couldn't cure the poison he had given him?
"How many times have you been here?" she asked.
"Just once!" He Yuan replied.
If it happened just once, Gu Xiaoxi thought that maybe there was no way to treat the poison at the beginning, and after a few days of research, the antidote was found, or the medicine to delay the onset of the poison would not come.
After thinking about the problem briefly, she didn't think about it anymore and went to the pharmacy to pack the herbs.
When Ying San and Ying Si returned to the manor, it was already dark. They deliberately took a detour around the manor where Concubine Yun lived.
In the evening, Gu Xiaoxi prepared a pig-killing dish. The wild boar was shot down from the sky by Dajiang and his friends during the day.
Ying San and Ying Si smelled the fragrance as soon as they entered the door. They quickened their pace and came to the gate of the yard where Sister Xiaoxi lived.
Gu Xiaoxi planned to treat everyone to a delicious meal, and since the weather was nice today, she cooked outside in the small courtyard.
The servants in the farm also gathered around, some helped add firewood, some helped chop meat, it was so lively for the first time.
"Everyone, eat more tonight. Don't be so polite." After Gu Xiaoxi finished speaking, she brought the large pot of braised pork that she had just prepared to the small stove next to her. She started making the marinade on the large stove and stewed the pork offal that had just been cooked.
Ying San and Ying Si also hurried over to help. They were so busy during this period that they even forgot what fireworks smelled like.
However, before they could start eating, there was a knock on the yard door.
