It would be a lie to say that he is not excited. Gu Zhao has earned his fame on his own, and his ability is definitely not low. If the emperor pays attention to him, his future will be bright.
He is young and has many opportunities.
Although he had shown some kindness at first and he remembered it, Jin Xin felt that it was not enough. She asked herself whether her kindness to him was really nothing.
"General Gu, why don't you elaborate on what you want? If I can give it to you, I won't be stingy."
Gu Zhao felt bitter after being asked this question. What did he want?
What he wants, he knows he can't get.
But in order to make the empress feel at ease, he naturally had to offer conditions.
"I want your Majesty to speak kindly to you in front of the Emperor. If I can support you in the clouds, it will also be a help to your Majesty."
After hearing this, Jin Xin breathed a sigh of relief. If this was the case, it would be nothing. It was normal to want to become famous.
"Can I trust you?" Jin Xin was still a little worried.
He did a lot of things for himself in the past, but now that he has power, Jin Xin can understand if he has greater ambitions.
Jin Xin would naturally be happy if they could collaborate on a song.
Gu Zhao immediately knelt down and looked at her with deep eyes, "My queen, please rest assured, I will not let you down."
Hearing this, Jin Xin smiled happily and immediately had someone help him up and serve him tea. He smiled and said, "The general is so open-minded. I will give you a word. If I can win something, I will definitely win it for the general." ."
The two looked at each other and drank the cup of tea.
Now that we've finished talking about cooperation, it's natural to talk about throwing oil.
"I checked all night yesterday. All the empresses in the palace were keeping their duties in the palace. There are a few suspects, including the queen, Concubine Xuan, Concubine Lan, Concubine Ying, and Concubine Fang, especially Concubine Fang. Although she last night She is in the palace, but her maid knows martial arts. I am a martial arts practitioner. I can hear her calm breath, silent walking, and the calluses on her hands. Do you have any doubts about the concubine recently? "
Jin Xin looked solemn, "She did intend to murder me. I didn't notice it before. It's just that she is about to be favored these days, and she can't bear it anymore. If you don't tell me, I really don't know that this maid is actually a Lian Jia Zi.”
The beauty next to her looks smart, her eyes are very sharp, and she looks very assertive, unlike ordinary maids who serve their masters.
"I checked all night, and some of the people in other palaces are not in the palace. Only the people in Cuiyuju are in my own palace. The more it seems that there is no problem, the more abnormal I feel. Please be careful yourself."
"Then there's General Lao."
"I am ordered to investigate the case and will do my best."
After chatting for a while, Gu Zhao looked at Jin Xin's headdress and seemed to have something to say. Finally he lowered his head and hesitated to speak, but in the end he said nothing.
Jin Xin saw the truth and immediately asked, "Does General Gu have anything to say?"
Gu Zhao opened his mouth and covered the thing in his arms. After struggling, he smiled bitterly and said, "No, I will leave."
Jin Xin hurriedly asked Lianrong to send him out.
Gu Zhao refused and left quickly.
After leaving the palace gate, he took out the rectangular brocade box from his arms. He sighed deeply and stuffed it back.
On his way back to Beijing, he rescued an old man in a small town. He gave the red blood jade hosta, saying it was a spiritual object enshrined in the temple and could keep him safe. He asked him to give it to his future wife as a gift for future generations. thing.
The first thing that popped into his mind was the appearance of the empress.
In addition to what happened last night, he felt that it would be difficult for her to be in the harem, so he thought of giving it to her while he was going back and forth this morning.
But in the end, he didn't dare to take it out.
He was afraid of scaring her.
After all, his intentions cannot be seen in person, it will only make her afraid of him.
Such things will drag her down.
Putting it back on his body, his expression returned to sternness and he continued to work.
After Gu Zhao went out, Concubine Fang came.
Watching Gu Zhao leave Chengen Palace, she frowned and looked over there, "General Gu is also a foreign minister after all. The emperor actually allowed him to enter and exit the harem and come here to answer questions early in the morning. This is really positive."
"The emperor appointed him to investigate what happened last night. It is clear that he is warning the people in the harem that we should act more carefully recently." Huarong reminded.
Fangbi snorted, "So what, what can he find out?"
"Your Majesty, don't be careless. If you move too frequently, clues will always appear. If we are really found out, we won't be able to avenge the eldest lady." Hua Rong said helplessly.
When Concubine Fang heard this, she curled her lips helplessly, "Okay, I understand."
People spread the news that Fang Concubine wanted to see her, and Jin Xin was playing with Hong'er. When she heard that Fang Concubine asked for an audience, Jin Xin said nonchalantly, "Let her go, I won't see you."
Her fetus was very active, and the imperial doctor did not allow her to move around. She could only keep her in the palace, lying down when she had nothing to do. She just wanted to nurse her baby safely until full term, and she ignored everything else.
Concubine Fang heard the reply outside and saw no guests. She immediately became anxious and stepped forward to look at Lianrong, "How could it be possible that my sister didn't see me? You didn't pass the message, did you?"
Lianrong looked impatient, "Your Majesty, I am pregnant now. I had fetal contractions last night, and I have to keep it up. I haven't recovered yet. Is there anything important that Concubine Fang is here to see me now?"
She just knew that Concubine De Gui's fetus was unstable, so she deliberately brought a sachet containing musk to sit here. With more stimulation, she would naturally be able to abort the fetus.
Concubine Fang looked disdainful and looked down on Lianrong, "Sister has always been close to me. She was frightened last night. What's wrong with me coming to visit?"
"Then why did Concubine Fang repay kindness with hatred?" Lianrong laughed and looked at her with a sarcastic look.
Concubine Fang was stunned for a moment, feeling guilty, and became angry, "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I repay kindness with enmity?"
"Our queen is not feeling well right now. If it is really for your own good, she should be allowed to take a good rest. If you are forcing me to see you, aren't you deliberately plotting to kill our queen and avenging kindness?" Lianrong said without any politeness.
"You...you are hurting me with your words, trying to sow discord between me and my sister!" Fang Bin gritted her teeth.
Lian Rong rolled her eyes, snorted, went to the foot of the wall, scooped up a spoonful of something unknown, and then poured it on top. Before Fang Concubine could react, Lian Rong poured the spoon onto her entire skirt, all over her skirt. There are also some messy things that smell very strong and look like...
"You bitch slave! How dare you throw shit at me!" Fangbi saw this thing clearly and smelled the strong smell that choked her nose, and she collapsed instantly.
Hua Rong was shocked and wanted to teach her a lesson, but Lian Rong quickly closed the door. Through the crack in the door, Lian Rong burst into laughter.
"If you continue to maliciously disturb our mother's pregnancy, I will splash it on your face next time!" Lianrong laughed.
Fangbi raised her hands and screamed wildly. She felt that she didn't want her feet anymore.
Hua Rong quickly took off her coat, took off the concubine's skirt, put her own on her, and advised, "Let's go back."
Even after changing into beautiful clothes, Fangbi was still extremely depressed, because a little of the culottes underneath had seeped in. She couldn't take off her skirt on the street.
"I must kill her!" Fangbi shouted in a broken voice and ran back.
