"What else did you find out?"
Gu Qing looked at him and felt that they were gradually getting closer to the truth of the matter.
“It’s all here.”
Chen Zhizhou handed her a compiled booklet, which recorded everything about Aunt Huo in great detail.
"These two things..."
Gu Qing flipped through the book quickly, and finally his eyes stopped on two medicinal herbs.
"how?"
Seeing her reaction, Chen Zhizhou immediately moved closer and looked at where she was pointing. He looked again and again but didn't find any clues. He then raised his eyes in confusion and looked at her in puzzlement.
Gu Qing smiled and explained his confusion to him.
"If you look at these two things separately, there's naturally no problem. But if you put them together, they become toxic. While they won't kill you, they will harm your body over time."
"Are you saying that the poison of Lady Zhao and Zhao Qi was done by this so-called Aunt Huo?"
Chen Zhizhou's eyes narrowed and his voice became much heavier. He was not surprised, but seemed to have expected it.
Gu Qing nodded.
"Then it all makes sense!"
She had been in the study of Duke Zhao and was deeply trusted by his wife, so she would have had many opportunities to poison him.
"Now that I think about it, she probably received the news yesterday and was planning to use her old tricks to bribe the doctor, but she didn't expect Wu Xian'er's mother to accidentally stumble upon her, delaying her original plan."
That's why she appeared so cleverly.
"To have such a dangerous person buried right next to me, just thinking about it makes me break out in a cold sweat for Zhao Qi and his mother!"
Gu Qing was shocked, especially when he thought about how that woman tried to please Zhao Qi while poisoning and murdering him, fooling everyone in the Duke Zhao's mansion around. He became even more frightened.
"But, does Duke Zhao know about this matter?"
Chen Zhizhou was thinking about something else.
If Duke Zhao knew about this and tacitly approved of it, things would become much more difficult!
"If you want to know, just try it and you'll know!"
Gu Qing curled her lips and raised her eyebrows at him.
Without further ado, Chen Zhizhou immediately understood what she meant.
He immediately wrote a letter and ordered the best secret guard among his guards to sneak into Duke Zhao's mansion, and repeatedly instructed him to hand it over to Zhao Qi personally.
The paper contained his and Gu Qing's speculations, along with the evidence they had found.
After finishing everything, the sky gradually darkened.
When Chen Zhizhou returned to the room, Gu Qing had already taken off her hairpins and rings, and her long, shiny black hair was cascading down like a waterfall.
The lotus emerges from clear water, naturally without any decoration.
Her face, even after seeing it countless times, still makes people's heart beat faster.
Chen Zhizhou held her in his arms, buried his head in her neck, and sniffed the fragrance from her hair and body.
At this moment, the whole world became peaceful and quiet!
"Now it depends on what Zhao Qi chooses!"
Gu Qing felt a hot breath hitting his neck, and he shrugged uncontrollably, his voice soft and crisp.
Chen Zhizhou was so excited after hearing this that he had no time to pay attention to Zhao Qi.
"what you do?"
Gu Qing felt a chill on her chest and lowered her head. Most of her clothes had been taken off by that restless hand.
Chen Zhizhou had a triumphant smile on his lips as he carried her to the bed and casually pulled down the curtain at the corner of the bed.
The veil fell, covering the beautiful spring scenery on the bed.
…
The next morning.
Gu Qing opened his eyes and moved slightly, only to feel severe pain in his waist.
Thinking of Chen Zhizhou's bravery last night, her face instantly seemed to be burned by fire, and turned red like the colorful clouds in the sky.
This guy is not like a human being in bed, he seems to have no idea of tiredness.
If this continues, he will break her bones.
"Cui Ping."
Thinking that there were important things to do today, Gu Qing pursed her lips, gently called Cuiping in, and asked her to wash and change her clothes for her.
"Just tie up my hair, make my face a little yellower and dirtier, and find me a set of clothes for a servant in the mansion."
Cuiping was a little at a loss for a moment, and a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes.
"What are you going to do?"
Gu Qing narrowed his eyes and did not explain, but just ordered her to do as he wanted.
Cuiping worked quickly and quickly brought back a set of servant's clothes. She also tried her best to paint her face yellow and dirty according to her requirements.
“Yeah, not bad!”
Looking at himself in the mirror, who seemed like a completely different person, Gu Qing nodded with satisfaction.
She put the antidote that Mr. Huang had sent her yesterday into her arms, slipped out quietly from the back door, ran through the alleys, and finally stopped in front of the gate of Duke Zhao's mansion.
The vermilion gate of Duke Zhao's mansion was wide open, with four servants standing on each side to guard it.
Just as Gu Qing was about to step closer, he was stopped immediately.
"Stop! What are you doing?"
Gu Qingchao and the others smiled and said in a gentle voice, "Big brother, I am the medicine boy of the doctor that the eldest young master invited back the other day. I have come here specially to deliver medicine today. Please let me in!"
"Medicine boy?"
Upon hearing this, the leading man examined her from head to toe, then turned to look at his brothers behind him.
"The eldest son did bring back a doctor the day before yesterday, and the doctor was indeed followed by two pharmacists."
Someone who knew the inside story came up to him and whispered in his ear.
The man nodded and turned to Gu Qing, "Wait here, I'll go in and pass the message."
Seeing him leave in a hurry, Gu Qing stepped aside and waited patiently.
Not long after, not only did the man who had just reported come back, but Zhao Qi also came to the door. This scene really scared everyone. When they looked at the inconspicuous medicine boy, there was clearly a bit more respect in their eyes.
…
inside the house.
Zhao Qi dismissed his attendants and waited until he was sure it was completely safe before looking at Gu Qing with a complicated expression.
"What happened to those things yesterday?"
"Are you sure it's Aunt Huo?"
He received those things yesterday and looked at them over and over again. He couldn't accept it in his heart. He wanted to question his father and Aunt Huo, but he was afraid of alerting them and ruining all his plans.
But he couldn't help but feel that there must be a mistake.
How could my father and Aunt Huo have that kind of relationship!
In his heart, his father has always loved his mother deeply, and even for the sake of his mother, he kept himself chaste and never thought of taking a concubine even though he had no children.
Aunt Huo was gentle and loving, and took care of him in every possible way.
What Gu Qing and Chen Zhizhou gave him completely overturned his cognition and made him unable to sleep all night.
"There's no way I could be wrong!"
Facing his doubts, Gu Qing spoke in a firm tone.
She completely trusted Chen Zhizhou and his abilities.
"I... I know I shouldn't doubt it, but I just can't help it. I really can't accept this truth!"
Zhao Qi also knew that he had spoken out of turn. He fell into the chair in pain, covering his head in frustration.
"Does your mother know about this?"
