Chapter 164 (2/2)
Miss Cui came out with red eyes. Everyone looked at her. Miss Cui just sat on the chair in silence, ignoring the eyes of others.
Next is Miss Wei San.
Wei San wants to be sister-in-law with Miss Cui in the future, but they have never made eye contact during the whole process.
Wei San went in for a quarter of an hour. After she came out, she changed to be the girl who gave marriage to Prince Zhao.
When Wei San looks at Gu Jiu, Wei San doesn't respond to Gu Jiu's eyes. He just lowers his head and looks thoughtful.
The girls took turns to go in, and soon it was Gu Jiu's turn.
Gu Jiu takes a deep breath and follows the maid into the bedroom again.
I don't know why the light in the bedroom hall is darker than before.
The empress lay on the bed and looked at her with her head on her side.
If it wasn't for the bright eyes, Gu would have thought it was just a corpse lying on the bed.
There is a stool beside the bed, and the maid in law signals Gu Jiu to sit down on the stool.
Gu Jiu stepped forward and sat on the Wu stool, ”Chen Nu pays homage to the empress.”
”Look up and let the palace have a good look. Last time I saw you, I didn't have time to look at you carefully. At a glance, she is really a symbol of the girl. ”
”The Queen's mother praises me falsely.”
Gu Jiu droops her eyes and does not look at the empress.
Empress mother silent smile, ”you ice and snow smart, should have found that in many girls, on the number of your family background is the worst.”
Gu Jiu's face is calm, ”the empress said right, the minister daughter's family background is the worst.”
The other girls are not the daughters of nobility, but also the first and second grade senior officials. In the end, no one has a bad family background.
The empress said, ”your family background is the worst, but the childe Zhao chose you from so many girls. Have you ever thought why? ”
Gu nine slowly shakes his head, ”reply to Niang, Minister female never thought.”
”If you marry me, you can't get any help from your mother's family. I can't understand why he doesn't care about his marriage, or he has a secret love affair with you, or he has other plans. For example, to marry you is just to confuse the eyes of the world. When the wind blows, you will die of no disease. Then he can marry another beautiful wife and concubine. ”
Every word from the Queen's mother's mouth carries deep malice. It's like a viper spitting out a message, which is frightening.
Gu Jiu finally understood why the empress wanted to talk to everyone alone.
She is not only demagogues, but also sowing seeds of suspicion.If she was really a girl who grew up in a boudoir with little insight, she would be shaken by the Queen's words, and she would be terrified all day. Maybe one day it'll end without a disease.
Gu Jiu properly showed a flustered look, lowered his head, and said: ”the minister does not know.”
The empress picked up her eyebrows and laughed. She suddenly stretched out her hand and squeezed Gu Jiu's mandible.
Gu Jiu micro frown, blink of an eye and smooth the brow.
Her eyes, carefully looking at the empress, seemed particularly weak and helpless.
At this time, we can't fight with the queen.
Although the empress is going to die, she can also take Gu Jiu's life before she dies, and only needs a word. After that, no one will ask about it.
Dead is dead!
The reality is so cruel.
With a smile in the eyes of empress, Gu Jiu sees full of malice.
The empress asked, ”the young master Zhao chose you specially. Have you met him before?”
Gu nine busy denied, ”the minister daughter only a few months ago to follow my father back to the capital, the minister's daughter before this has not been the son of the imperial edict.”
The empress sneered, ”this palace is not talking about the capital, but the northwest.”
Gu Jiu's heart suddenly jumped. How could empress think of the northwest.
Gu Jiu settled down and said cautiously: ”in the northwest, because of the acclimatization and weakness of the officials, they seldom went out. I'm sure I haven't seen it before. ”
The queen laughed. ”You're not telling the truth.”
Gu Jiu's heart jumped again. She was wondering if the queen knew something?
”What the minister said is true. I dare not deceive my mother.”
The empress's finger belly gently stroked Gu Jiu's cheek, as if a cold snake slipped from her face, making Gu Jiu uncomfortable and tense.
”According to our understanding, there was a period of time in the first half of the year when the young master declared that he was ill and did not enter the palace. Calculate the time. At that time, your family was still in the northwest. ”
Gu Jiu nodded, ”in the first half of the year, my father was still in the northwest as governor of Jinzhou.”
”Jinzhou is a good place. I heard that Jinzhou is only a hundred miles away from Lu Hou's military camp. You can get there in half a day on horseback. ”
”No, I haven't been to the camp.”
The empress suddenly laughed, ”you are not afraid of this palace.”
”I'm afraid.”
”If you are another girl, you will be questioned by the palace. You can't speak clearly, let alone have a clear logic. But you, in your face of fear, answered the words of this house without a drop of water. You are not afraid of this palace. ”
”My mother is a good example. I'm afraid of you now. But when I came, my father told me again and again that I must reply well when I saw the empress. I have always remembered my father's instruction and dare not lose the face of caring for the family. ”
Gu Jiu's tone was anxious and afraid, and she was afraid that the empress would not believe it.
The Queen's wife laughed, ”I believe you once. Tell me about it. Have you ever seen the imperial edict of the prince when you were in the northwest? ”
Gu Jiu shook his head again and again, ”my daughter is in the northwest, and I have never seen the prince's edict. If I were to die, I would die
People in this era, the most important oath.
However, Gu Jiu did not have that taboo, and vowed to blurt out.
She said salt, while still secretly shouting in the heart, God, you can never take my girl's oath seriously. I just said it casually.
The empress stares at Gu Jiu suspiciously.
She got some specious news and suspected that Liu Zhao had secretly gone to the northwest, but she was suffering from no evidence.
Originally wanted to knock out some truth from Gu Jiu. Now it seems, is it true that he thinks too much? During that time, Liu Zhao was really in the capital city and didn't go to the northwest?
The empress was a little annoyed. In the past, she only paid attention to the princes and princes, but ignored the activities of the princes and grandsons.
As a result, people made all kinds of small movements under her nose.
The empress's mother was angry and let go of Gu Jiu.
Gu nine mandible eats pain, but sits upright does not move.
The empress gasped for breath, but she didn't have time.
If she had enough time, she would send someone to the northwest to investigate. As long as she grasped the handle of Liu Zhao, she could take off the skin of Liu Zhao and his son.
The empress waved, and the maiden came forward and said to Gu Jiu, ”Miss Gu, please step back.”
Gu Jiu quickly stood up, bowed to leave the terrible place.
The queen took a few breaths in succession, ”go and call Fang Shaojian.”
It doesn't matter if she's dying, but the clue can't be given up.
The empress laughed.
Fang Shaojian came to the bedroom hall and said, ”I've seen your mother. How is your mother feeling today
”It's getting more and more painful,” said the queen weaklyFang Shaojian is full of worry, ”Niang's better stop taking medicine.”
The empress shook her head. ”Don't worry about the body of this palace. This palace can live for a few days. You immediately send people to the northwest to investigate secretly. No matter what method you use, we must find out whether Liu Zhao secretly left Beijing for the northwest.
At that time, the Palace should be gone. Once it is found out that Liu Zhao didn't intend to leave Beijing, he went to the northwest. You know what to do. ”
Fang Shaojian accepted the order, ”Wei Chen obeys the order!”
The empress gasped and continued: ”in addition, if you want to buy off some people around Liu Zhao, you must always pay attention to Liu Zhao's movements. This boy, in the past, our palace ignored him, only thought he was an inferior grandson. Now it seems that this palace has lost sight. This son of a bitch, he's hiding deep enough. ”
Fang Shaojian bowed down to accept the order, ”does Niang have any other orders?”
The empress frowned and thought deeply, ”this palace always feels that the little girl named Gu Jiu knows something. We have to find a way to pry a few words out of her mouth. ”
Fang Shaojian thought, ”Niang, this can be done with the help of Xie Mao's hand. Xie Mao and Mrs. Gu are brothers and sisters. I don't think anyone knows more about the whereabouts of the Gu family in the northwest than Xie Mao. ”
The empress nodded, ”you go to Xie's house in person. You must ask for something.”
”Comply with the order!”
