Chapter 168 (1/2)
”Miss Gu, your mother will let you in.”
”Thank you very much, sister.”
Gu Jiu takes a deep breath and goes into the bedroom.
The light in the bedroom was dim, and the maids were hiding in the dark, unable to see clearly.
A valet stood in front of the bed, heard the footsteps, immediately raised his head to look at her.
Gu Jiu also looked at each other, white face, 30 years old. If you can enter the Queen's bedroom at this time, you must be a trusted person.
Weiyang palace will be the list in the mind over again, Gu Jiu guessed the identity of the other side. This man must be the most powerful person in Weiyang palace, Fang Shaojian.
The empress lay on the bed, as if she had died with her eyes closed.
Gu Jiu stepped forward and bowed down to meet her, ”the courtier's daughter meets the empress, who is blessed with longevity and health.”
The empress suddenly opened her eyes and looked straight at Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu slightly droops his head, avoiding the eyes of the empress.
”Coming!”
Gu Jiu bowed and said, ”please teach me.”
The empress raised her hand, and Fang Shao Jian would stretch out the back of her hand. The empress put her hand on the back of Fang Shaojian's hand.
The empress pointed to Gu Jiu, ”living in the palace, are you still used to it?”
Gu Jiu was already ready to fight.
As a result, the empress is so pleasant, but it makes Gu Jiu a little uncomfortable.
She did not dare to relax her vigilance. She tightened her whole body and said cautiously: ”learning rules from Mammy every day has benefited a lot these days.”
The Queen's mother laughed, her skinny cheeks full of wrinkles.
A generation of queens, appearance is not there, life is about to end. However, her eyes, like the stars in the night, can not be ignored by anyone.
Her eyes were shining with wisdom.
Her life is bound to leave a strong mark in history.
Gu Jiu admires empress from the heart, this woman is too strong.
But she had to compete with the queen.
However, in the empress's mind, Gu Jiu is not qualified to be the most her opponent.
”You come here, and this palace wants to have a good look at you.”
Gu nine heart a jump, slowly step forward, from the edge of the bed is still a step away.
The empress grabbed her hand. ”You must have something special. I hear you recite it very quickly? ”
Gu Jiu said with a low eyebrow and a smooth eye: ”reply to the empress, the minister is only good at endorsements.”
”So you have a good memory?”
Gu Jiu said in a low voice: ”it's not much good, but willing to work hard.”
The empress laughed, and the other young supervisor said, ”look at the children today, how modest.”
Fang Shao Jian said with a smile: ”the empress said yes. Miss Gu has a good appearance and a clean family. As a girl's family, she is willing to study hard. It's no wonder that the young master always thinks about it. ”
The empress nodded, her eyes with a slight smile, staring at Gu Jiu, ”you have such a good memory, why did you forget things half a year ago so quickly?”
Gu Jiu's heart jumped and said calmly, ”please show me. I don't know what the lady said. ”
The Queen's mother laughed, ”now little girls, they are so stupid. What's more, when we were young, we would answer whatever the adults asked. We never knew how to pretend to be stupid. Even your majesty has said that the greatest virtue of this palace is honesty. ”
”Today's little girl, of course, is not as good as your mother used to be.” Fang Shaojian looks at Gu Jiu with a smile.
”Miss Gu, you dare to fool people in front of your mother. Are you afraid to die?”
A dead word, which was dragged long by Fang Shao Jian, is extremely deterrent.
Gu Jiu lowered her head and said in a hurry: ”I really don't know what the lady is referring to? I also ask your mother to make it clear that the minister must know everything and say everything. ”
”Oh? It's rare that you are willing to tell the truth in front of this palace. ” The empress's mother smiles and is finally willing to let go of Gu Jiu's hand.
Gu Jiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fang Shaojian stood up and said, ”Miss Gu, did you ever see the prince's edict when you were in Northwest China last time. Do you want to answer this question? ”
Gu Jiu made a bewildered expression, ”I don't understand. Last time my mother asked about this matter, my daughter has already said that she has never sent a prince's edict in the northwest. At that time, the minister's daughter lay in the room all day, even two doors have not been out. Moreover, at that time, the minister and daughter had not even heard of this man
Fang Shaojian snorted, ”Miss Gu, your mother has given you a chance, but you don't want to cherish it. You keep saying that you haven't been out of the house, but someone knows that you have been out for a few days and went to Tianmen temple with your brother to burn incense and pray for the dead mother. Did Miss Gu really forget about it? ”
Gu Jiu shows a look of panic, so that Fang Shaojian is not satisfied, thinking that he has grasped Gu Jiu's painful feet.
Gu Jiu deals with it and thinks that it is Xie's family that has leaked the news.She said helplessly and wrongly: ”reply to your mother, at that time, the minister girl just left the gate of hell, and I was afraid of it. On the day of his mother's death, he went to Tianmen temple to burn incense for his mother. At that time, the officials and women did not even know who the prince's edict was, and how could they know him. ”
”Your mother didn't say you knew gongzizhao. The empress just asked you if you have seen the prince's edict in the northwest Tianmen temple
Fang Shaojian stares at Gu Jiu fiercely.
Gu Jiu shakes her head. ”The minister's daughter has been in Tianmen temple for several days. Because of her weakness, she is either burning incense in the main hall or resting in the wing room every day. And always followed the servant girl to serve. I haven't met any childe in those days, but I have seen a few ladies. ”
Fang Shao Jian Leng hum, ”it seems that Miss Gu does not see the coffin, does not shed tears, will bring people in.”
People?
Who is it?
Gu Jiu is in a panic. Is Xie Xian here?
Can't!
Hearing the footsteps, Gu Jiu suddenly looked at the door, and then was startled.
The person who came was not Xie Xian, as she guessed, but mother Ping beside her wife Xie's.
How could she be mother Ping?
She's here? Is Xie's
No, it's not.
There must be something wrong with it.
”The maidservant kowtowed to the empress.”
Mother Ping didn't even look at Gu Jiu. She came in and knelt down on the ground to greet the empress.
The queen looked at mother Ping and asked, ”do you know Gu Jiu?”
Mammy Ping just looked at Gu Jiu and nodded, ”reply to your mother, know me.”
”It's good to know. What happened to Gu Jiu when he went to Tianmen temple in the northwest
”Yes, my servant.”
Mother Ping lowered her head and gave Gu Jiu a malicious smile. Then she began to say, ”at that time, the wife wanted to marry the second girl to Xie Xian, the fourth young master of the Xie family. Mr. Gu has been hesitating about this marriage. His wife wants to take advantage of Gu Jiu's opportunity in Tianmen temple to let Xie Xian cook cooked rice.
From the beginning, everything went well. Wait until the evening, under the medicine, critical moment, someone appeared to save Gu Jiu. However, Xie Xian was injured seriously, endangering his life. It is said that Xie Xian's injury was completely cured after half a year's cultivation. ”
After hearing this, the queen looked at Gu Jiu with a smile, and asked mammy Ping, ”who saved Gu Jiu?”
Mother Ping said, ”according to Xie Xian, he is a very tall bodyguard. The bodyguard is equipped with a standard waist knife at his waist. He is certainly not a bodyguard of ordinary people. ”
The empress looked at Gu Jiu and asked in a shrill voice: ”tell me who the bodyguard who saved you at that time?”
Gu Jiu's expression is agitated, ”Qizhi Niang, Ping mammy is pure nonsense. Although the minister's daughter was not born by his wife, she had been taken good care of by her wife, so she was lucky to grow to such a big age.
My wife's charity can never be as insane as mammy Ping said. Let Xie Xian go to Tianmen temple to harm me, tarnish my reputation and ruin my family's face.
