Because Gu Qianxue had previously thought herself clever and found a barefoot doctor to treat the Second Prince.
Ultimately, this led to his poisoning, and now the Second Prince no longer needs Gu Qianxue to prepare his meals and medicines.
Rumor has it that Liu Xiaolan, sent by the Empress, is intelligent and skilled in serving the Prince, and is deeply loved by him.
"Hmph! Men are all fickle birds! Just a few days ago they said they wouldn't be alone with her, but today they can't wait for me to get away!"
Gu Qianxue's gaze was deep as she embroidered a purse, constantly complaining about the Second Prince's hypocritical behavior.
Upon hearing this, the nanny beside him tactfully chimed in,
"This Aunt Liu is quite cunning. Relying on the Second Prince's favor, she has always maintained her position with him."
According to the Second Prince's servant, Concubine Liu preferred to sleep on a small couch rather than leave the Second Prince's palace.
Consort Gu would better hurry! If she manages to give birth to a prince before us, all our efforts will be in vain!
As soon as she finished speaking, Granny Ying pulled something out of her sleeve and handed it to Gu Qianxue.
Her brow twitched slightly, and she reached out to pinch the pill, about the size of a jujube, asking suspiciously.
"This is?"
"These are pills from my family's side, specifically for treating male impotence. They are colorless and odorless when dissolved in water."
In our area, old men who have children late in life usually benefit from this!
Gu Qianxue gently rubbed the pill between her two fingers, then held it above her head to examine it closely. A question crossed her mind, and she murmured to herself, "..."
"But the Second Prince has been impotent for several years. What good can a mere pill do?"
"Oh dear! My lord! Whether it works or not, please give it a try!"
"Anyway, it's not poisonous, so even if it's useless, it can still nourish the body!"
Gu Qianxue was startled, feeling very annoyed. She put the pills into her sleeve and forced a smile.
"Granny Ying, if His Highness summons me for lunch, please say that I am ill and cannot accompany him."
Upon hearing this, Granny Ying raised her eyebrows and smiled slyly, "Don't worry, Consort Gu, this old servant knows what to do."
Granny Ying was a nanny brought from the Gu family, and naturally hoped that Gu Qianxue would gain the favor of the Second Prince.
Only when their master receives favors do these servants have a good life!
Seeing that Granny Ying understood her meaning, Gu Qianxue slowly walked to the bedside, took out a few taels of silver, and placed them on the round wooden table.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Granny Ying."
As soon as the nanny left, hurried footsteps sounded outside. Gu Qianxue was just about to lie down and rest when a maidservant announced her arrival.
"Miss! Miss! Something terrible has happened!"
Her eyes narrowed, anger welling up inside her. She raised her hand and struck the maid's delicate, fair face hard, shouting angrily, "..."
"In broad daylight, you come here early in the morning to say something bad has happened."
You're going to ruin all my good luck! If you can't speak properly, you can cut your tongue out!
Upon hearing this, the maid's eyes suddenly filled with tears, and she knelt on the ground, trembling, kowtowing and pleading.
"Please forgive me, Consort Gu! It was my fault for being so ignorant of etiquette. I beg you to forgive me this time!"
"Fine, say something nice to this concubine. If it pleases me, I'll let you off this time!"
The maidservant, quick-witted, wiped away her tears, straightened her back, and flattered her.
"Consort Gu, you are more beautiful than a fairy, and the Second Prince is even more suitable for you than a fairy."
Although Consort Liu is now favored by the emperor, the second prince does not like her staying overnight; it's all just wishful thinking on her part.
Consort Gu has a graceful figure; this servant believes you will soon be blessed with a prince and enjoy great favor!
As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Qianxue's depressed heart suddenly relaxed, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and she gently brushed off the thin blanket and got up.
The maid's eyes flickered slightly, and she knelt on the ground to serve her a cup of tea.
“Miss, this is a special fruit tea from my hometown. I brought it here today for you to try.”
"Alright! This concubine has learned her lesson! Remember from now on, you can only say good things, never bad things."
"Yes, ma'am!"
"Speak! What's the matter that's so urgent?"
"I heard that Miss Gu has gone missing!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Qianxue's eyes shone brightly, and her hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, causing the teacup to fall to the ground.
"Can you guarantee this?"
“Consort Gu, this is absolutely true!”
I happened to be passing by the pavilion when I overheard the Second Prince talking to the guard with the wind-related illness.
I heard that Miss Gu disappeared along with her husband's personal bodyguard, Zhu Ying.
Rumors are circulating that Miss Gu and Zhu Ying are having an affair. Three days have passed, and neither of them has returned to the capital.
It is said that the Marquis's family is now trying every means to cover up this scandal, fearing that it will affect General Chen who is fighting on the front lines.
Furthermore, Your Highness also told me not to tell you about this!
I suppose I was afraid you'd worry too much?
Upon hearing this, a glint appeared in Gu Qianxue's eyes. She slowly stood up and said, while inwardly thinking to herself,
Hehe! Gu Qianluo, Chen Jinheng has only been gone a short while, and you're already so impatient?
Since that's the case, you can't blame me this time!
Gu Qianxue waved to the maid and whispered, "Come here!"
The maid slowly rose from the ground, leaned against her, and asked curiously, bowing slightly, "What are your orders, Miss?"
She covered half her face with her sleeve, leaned down and whispered a few words in the maid's ear.
The maid first showed a surprised expression, then shuffled away.
The following day, the story of the second wife of the Marquis of Zhongyong's affair with a guard spread throughout the teahouses of the capital.
Naturally, the news quickly reached Jing'an Temple.
Inside Jing'an Temple, Lin Ruoyan was busy helping to clean the courtyard when her maid, Huamei, rushed in with breakfast, anxiously saying...
