Chapter 31 There are still smart people in the Gu Mansion
Fu Dong acted quickly, taking Jiang Xue's token, and returned to Wen Qingxuan to find Xiang Lu and Xu Chong. He conveyed Jiang Xue's order in full, sent them both to the gate of Gu's mansion, and ordered the servant to harness the carriage.
She reiterated to Xianglu and Xu Chong:
"All the guards in Changle Palace must be transferred here."
Ever since she came to the Gu Mansion, she saw that Jiang Xue's style of doing things was completely different from the past. Even if she was careless, she could understand that Prince Consort Gu was not someone she could trust.
She had to help Jiang Xue keep the Gu Mansion under guard, and also find a way to avoid dangerous accidents like last night.
Not long after, a servant came out from the side door leading a carriage. After Xianglu got on the carriage, the servant took the initiative to hand the reins to Xu Chong, indicating that he would not follow.
Fu Dong originally planned to stop the servant and not let him go with them.
Seeing his action, Fu Dong was a little surprised and asked, "Aren't you going to drive?"
The servant bowed respectfully and replied, "This elder brother looks strong and sturdy, so he must be able to drive."
"There is still work to be done in the stables. I was worried that I would be punished if I couldn't finish the work. In this case, could you please help me, big brother?"
He works for the Gu family just to live a peaceful life.
These were all people from the palace, and he didn't want to follow them.
Knowing too much usually doesn't end well.
Xu Chong reached out and took the reins, saying, "No problem."
The servant said, "Thank you very much, big brother!"
Fu Dong smiled and said, "You are quite clever. What's your name? Do you only work in the stables?"
The servant was flattered and said, "Miss, my name is Xu Rong. The job that Huang Zongguan assigned to me is to take care of the horses and harness the carriage. If the noble lady goes out, I will help drive the carriage."
Fu Dong said, "I see. This is a reward for your carriage."
She took out a piece of silver from her sleeve and handed it to Xu Rong.
Xu Rong didn't dare to accept it, and said, "This is my work, how dare I accept the reward."
Fu Dong said: "Driving is also a job, why didn't you do it just now?"
Xu Rong said cautiously: "I dare not ask about your affairs."
"Take it. This is a reward for you. You know when to advance and when to retreat, and you know your limits. His Highness will like it very much."
Fu Dong pulled his hand over and put the silver change in his hand.
"Keep it away and don't let anyone see it. If the prince consort knew about it, he might not be happy."
Fu Dong looked at him with a smile, implying something, and he immediately put the silver away.
"I didn't expect there are smart people in the Gu Mansion," Fu Dong smiled, covering his mouth, "If there is nothing else, go back to work as soon as possible."
"Yes." Xu Rong bowed his head and left quickly.
He put the silver in his pocket, thinking about something.
Fu Dong was just about to turn around and go back when suddenly a loud shout stopped her.
"Miss Fudong!"
Fu Dong looked up and saw He Zhilin running towards him from a distance.
Jiang Xue had already told them last night that Yan Zhe was He Yuanzheng's eldest grandson He Zhilin.
Fu Dong opened his mouth and shouted: "He..."
Suddenly, alarm bells rang in her head and she immediately looked around. The two servants guarding the door of the Gu Mansion were standing inside the door, some distance away from her. She wondered if they had heard what she had just said.
She stammered and laughed awkwardly, "Haha, Doctor Yan is here. Are you here to bring medicine to His Highness?"
He Zhilin trotted to her side and said, "Yes, today's medicine has been prepared in advance. I'll deliver it."
Fu Dong said, "Then I will take you in first. His Highness and the Prince Consort are still having dinner. You will have to wait for a while."
He Zhilin showed hesitation on his face.
He didn't want to see Jiang Xue at the moment.
As for his grandfather's affairs, he didn't know the real cause of his grandfather's death.
Even if he was certain that his grandfather would not blame Jiang Xue, he certainly would not want him to blame Jiang Xue for this matter.
But after he learned about Jiang Xue's connection with his grandfather's death, he was unable to completely let it go in this short period of time.
If Jiang Xue gets into trouble, he will still help her.
If he had any clues about Gu Lintan, he would tell the truth.
But if there was nothing else, he didn't want to meet her.
He Zhilin didn't know how to face Jiang Xue.
He forced a smile and said to Fu Dong, "I have something else to do today, so I'll trouble you to bring the medicine to His Highness."
He stretched out his hand, and in his hand was a small medicine bottle.
He handed the medicine bottle to Fu Dong and said, "There are three pills in this bottle. Your Highness, take one with warm water after lunch and dinner, and take the remaining pill after breakfast tomorrow."
Fu Dong saw that he was surprised, so he took the pill and said, "Wait a moment, sir."
She said, "I didn't hear the instructions clearly just now. Please explain it again, sir."
Fu Dong approached He Zhilin and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Master He, someone peeped into your residence last night. Your Highness is in a state of panic today. I'm afraid you may need help."
She was telling the truth. Jiang Xue was in the mansion, and since He Zhilin had a doctor-patient relationship with the mother and son, if they wanted to investigate, they could only rely on him.
He Zhilin paused for a moment and said, "Okay."
The two stood a little apart, and He Zhilin said loudly: "Let me give it to Your Highness. This medicine is very particular. If the young lady gets the dosage wrong, I will be dead."
Fu Dong responded: "Then I'll trouble you, sir."
Then he turned around and walked into Gu Mansion with He Zhilin.
Wenqingxuan's small side hall.
After Jiang Xue's outburst, she looked very unhappy. She sat in her seat without eating, just staring at the food in front of her with hatred.
Gu Lintan saw that Fu Dong had already left and there was nothing else he could do.
But at least the warehouse accounts and inventory were blurred, so even if Jiang Xue wanted to check in the future, she would have no way to start.
Secondly, he thought he had tested Jiang Xue's attitude, but he didn't expect that he had stimulated her too much, causing her to call more people from the palace to come to Gu's house to attack him.
It wasn’t all in vain, Gu Lintan thought.
He pretended to be helpless, looked at Jiang Xue, picked up a piece of fish with his chopsticks and put it into Jiang Xue's bowl.
Gu Lintan tried to make his voice softer, and said to Jiang Xue as if he was coaxing a child:
"No matter how angry Your Highness is, you can't starve yourself."
"Your Highness, if you want to change the guards, then change them. As long as it can make Your Highness feel at ease and happy, Lintan is fine with anything."
"If Your Highness doesn't eat more, it would be a waste of the delicious dishes that Miss Fudong has prepared."
Gu Lintan coaxed Jiang Xue patiently in her ear, thinking that Jiang Xue was still angry.
In fact, Jiang Xue has been thinking in her heart.
She wanted to search the mansion, not only the storehouse and servants, but also the whereabouts and origins of Suxi and her son.
Now that the warehouse has been robbed by Gu Lintan, I'm afraid it's a mess with no way to fix it.
After the servants have finished questioning their meal, Xiaochun and Fudong will start to cook.
As for the whereabouts of Suxi and her son, Jiang Xue had a headache.
She didn't want to use He Zhilin anymore.
But in this situation, if she didn't find the person quickly, once Gu Lintan discovered that she knew about the existence of this mother and son, he would soon take the person away again.
Jiang Xue had a headache while hearing Gu Lintan's hypocritical mumbling in her ears.
She was a little irritated by the noise, as if there were thousands of flies flying around her, and was about to ask him to shut up.
Fu Dong suddenly came into the small side hall and said to Jiang Xue, "Your Highness, the doctor named Yan has brought the medicine."
