Chapter 27 Who wants him dead?
"Madam, you, what did you mean by resurrection from the dead..."
Seeing that Chen Fenfang still refused to admit it, Gu Qingning was not in a hurry. She took off the jade bracelet on her wrist, held it up and looked at it in the candlelight.
"In fact, there have always been clues. For example, this bracelet. When I first received it, I didn't think much about it. But one time, Feng looked at the bracelet with envy and jealousy. Then I realized that this thing must be very precious."
"Since it is such a precious thing, you will not give it to me easily, unless the young master gives the order."
"And Mo Yu, I see he doesn't really listen to you. The reason he came to protect me should be because of the young master's order, right?"
Gu Qingning looked at Chen Fenfang's expression and said, "On the day I first got married, the sadness on your face was very obvious. But the next day, when I saw my aunt again, there was no such heart-wrenching sadness on her face."
Chen Fenfang still pretended to be calm, "Madam, these are just your guesses."
Gu Qingning: "Oh, then let me tell you it's not a guess. When I was in the palace, before I fainted, I was sure that the person who looked like the young master was alive. Although the poisonous incense affected my mind, I know a little about medicine, so I stayed awake for a moment."
"After all, a man suddenly broke into the room. If I couldn't protect myself, I could still commit suicide."
Chen Fenfang was shocked when she watched Gu Qingning talk about the affairs in the palace in a light-hearted manner.
I have long known that their wife is not an ordinary weak woman, but now I am even more shocked to hear these words.
But even so, she knelt down and said, "Madam, I cannot tell you about the young master's affairs. There are many important matters involved. Unless, unless he tells you himself!"
This was within Gu Qingning's expectations. After all, Chen Fenfang had always been loyal to the young master.
It is enough to make sure that the young master is still alive. As for the reason, that is another matter.
I didn't expect that the young master is actually still alive?
Gu Qingning: "Don't the Duke and the others know?"
Chen Fenfang shook her head. "No one in the Duke's Mansion knows about this."
Gu Qingning immediately understood that it must be the accident that happened to the young master before, or some huge conspiracy, so the other party temporarily concealed the fact that he was still alive and secretly investigated something?
What's going on behind the scenes is definitely not something she can find out now.
Gu Qingning reached out and helped Chen Fenfang up. "Well, let him tell me about the young master himself. I can keep it a secret for the time being. But there is one thing I want to ask you, Aunt Chen. I was poisoned and unconscious later. How did I get rid of the poison?"
When she woke up, the toad blood on her arm was still there, but her clothes were in a mess.
Chen Fenfang understood what Gu Qingning meant. She hesitated for a moment and said, "He used his internal strength to force the poisonous fragrance out... The young master is a gentleman!"
Gu Qingning looked at her hurriedly explaining and felt a little helpless.
Putting aside other things, she and the young master are nominally husband and wife, so even if they really had physical contact, it is understandable.
She just didn't want anything to be unclear.
At the same time, Gu Qingning was also very curious about how to use internal force to force out the poisonous fragrance that she had inhaled. However, she probably had to ask the young master about this.
After being busy for most of the day and being poisoned, Gu Qingning was actually feeling a little tired.
But there was still one thing she didn't understand.
"Aunt Chen, why did the prince consort make love with that woman in there? Also, who is that woman? I don't know her."
Seeing that Gu Qingning didn't ask any more questions about the young master, Chen Fenfang breathed a sigh of relief and immediately told him everything she knew.
"The incense that Tao Ye left in the incense burner in the house is enough to stir people's emotions. The prince consort must have passed by there. As for the woman disguised as a palace maid, someone heard the prince consort call her cousin."
Gu Qingning: "So the Prince Consort and his cousin were already in love, and they accidentally walked into it, and then were poisoned by Tao Ye's aphrodisiac fragrance?"
Chen Fenfang: "That should be the case. However, they wanted to plot against you, Madam, but I don't know what method they used."
Gu Qingning narrowed her eyes, then she would have to ask Shen Ruoying.
Gu Qingning suddenly remembered the malicious gaze from before, and always felt that things would not be that simple.
But at the moment, she does not have the ability to get involved in the affairs of the palace. It seems that she has to think carefully about how to deal with Shen Ruoying!
**
Smoke was rising from the sandalwood incense burner in the Yiku Palace.
Concubine Su leaned lazily on the soft couch, while the steward Sun Jiufeng knelt beside her and massaged her legs.
Concubine Su: "Jiufeng, what do you think happened today? Did that Gu Shi notice something, or was she lucky enough to avoid it?"
Sun Jiufeng: "Madam, I think that the second young lady of the Duke's Mansion was not skilled enough. She only had someone put incense but did not intend to put a man in. Gu noticed it in advance and avoided it."
"Although our people led the prince consort there, who could have imagined that the prince consort's cousin would disguise herself and sneak into the palace."
Concubine Su: "It seems that Gu is indeed smarter than Shen, but it's a pity that she became a widow."
She thought of something pleasant and the corners of her mouth raised high.
"What a pity! Today's game was so perfect, but it was ruined because of that idiot Shen. But poor Mingyue, I have to take better care of her from now on."
After all, she is related to her by blood, so she should just regard it as a gesture of care and concern for her.
Sun Jiufeng: "Your Majesty, be merciful."
Concubine Su: "By the way, how did the people in Duke Qin's mansion deal with that maid?"
Sun Jiufeng: "I heard that in order not to offend Princess Jin'an, they sent the maid to the princess's mansion, where she was whipped to death by Princess Jin'an."
Concubine Su: "Did Mingyue not beat the Prince Consort's cousin to death?"
Sun Jiufeng: “No.”
Concubine Su sneered, "She is so weak, she deserves to be eaten alive by men!"
Thinking of something, she gave another order: "His Majesty is very angry today. Anyway, our biggest goal has been achieved. Next, let's make our people behave themselves."
"Yes, madam."
"My calves are sore, please massage them for me."
"yes……"
The two of them were talking there and didn't notice a figure flashing by outside the window.
The man cleverly avoided everyone in Yikun Palace and dodged the patrolling imperial guards in the palace, and finally entered the room where Gu Qingning had stayed before.
At this moment in the room, Lu Jingyu frowned and looked at the secret letter in his hand.
Originally, I thought that Prime Minister Xu was behind Wei Kang, but the information obtained from the secret letter pointed to the Ninth Prince who is now in a high position of power?
Who exactly wants him dead?
