The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 313 Assassination (two more)

Due to the hot and dry weather, many girls who were studying in the school had suffered from heat stroke for several days. Gu Jiao was so busy that her feet could not touch the ground. She didn't go to the palace to see her aunt for a few days.

"...Yes, you don't need to take medicine, just drink some water soaked in Houttuynia cordata. It's Zheergen. Do you have any at home? If you don't have it, go to the medicine boy to get some." Good record, "Next."

The door was pushed open, but Princess Rui, who had not been seen for many days, came.

Princess Rui didn't cut the queue this time, and honestly waited in line for half an hour. It was difficult for her to be five months pregnant.

"Why are you here?" Gu Jiao asked her to sit down.

Princess Rui's complexion was as rosy as ever. The pregnancy of this child was really good, but her eyes were slightly red and swollen, as if she had just cried.

"What's wrong? Show me." Gu Jiao motioned for her to reach out.

Princess Rui shook her head: "It's not me, it's Princess Jing. I went to see her yesterday, and she's not well again..."

Princess Rui said, tears falling down.

The original Princess Rui didn't cry so much. It was only after she became pregnant that her lacrimal glands became more developed. She couldn't stop crying over a little thing, and she didn't know what happened.

During pregnancy, Gu Jiao handed her a handkerchief.

Princess Rui wiped her tears and looked at Gu Jiao with red eyes: "When will you finish your work today? Can you follow me to see Princess Jing after you're done?"

Gu Jiao called Doctor Song: "Is there a doctor today?"

Dr. Song said, "No, everyone is in the hospital today."

Gu Jiao nodded: "Okay, I'll go out, you can help me watch."

Doctor Song responded: "Yes."

Gu Jiao said again: "There are still medicinal materials, remember to let Xiao Jiangli collect them later."

Doctor Song said, "I will."

Gu Jiao went to the nunnery near Puji Temple with Princess Rui after explaining the medical center.

On the carriage, Gu Jiao learned that Concubine Jing fell ill because she heard the news of the emperor's assassination.

The emperor was the son she raised alone, and Concubine Jing had only one daughter, Princess Ning An, in her life. His Majesty was like her own son. When something happened to him, Concubine Jing was more worried than anyone else.

Concubine Rui said: "The concubine's body was not so weak in the early years. There was a winter snowstorm and the nunnery was too cold. The concubine froze her body, and the root of the disease has since fallen. Over the years, the father and the emperor have thought of many ways to be the concubine. The concubine's body conditioning, but it doesn't work much, Miss Gu, do you have any way to conditioning the concubine's body?"

Gu Jiao said truthfully, "The concubine is getting old,

There is no immediate way to focus on health preservation, supplemented by treatment. "

Princess Rui is lost.

The two entered the nunnery.

Concubine Jing was lying on the bed in the meditation room. She had just fallen asleep, and the room smelled of soothing incense.

A close-fitting maid dressed as a teacher saw the two of them and bowed: "Princess Rui, Miss Gu."

While Mama Cai put out the soothing incense in the stove, she pushed open the window to ventilate her, so as not to let the incense stick to the pregnant Princess Rui.

Princess Rui looked at Concubine Jing's pale face and said, "Mother Cai, why does Empress Dowager seem to be weaker than yesterday?"

Madam Cai sighed: "The concubine is worried about Your Majesty, restless in bed and restless, can't sleep at night. From yesterday to today, there is no drop of rice... Seeing that it is going on like this, the servant girl quietly placed a little soothing incense."

Princess Rui was very distressed.

Princess Rui is from the line of King Ning, and King Ning is in the same camp with Empress Dowager Zhuang. The emperor tried his best to pull Empress Dowager Zhuang down and put Concubine Jing to the position of Empress Dowager, but this seems to be just the two The personal game did not affect others.

The relationship between Rui Wang and his wife Jing Taifei is quite good.

Mama Cai brought a stool and seated the two of them.

Gu Jiao sat down beside the bed and took the pulse for Concubine Jing.

Concubine Jing didn't sleep peacefully, and as soon as Gu Jiao caught her pulse, she opened her eyes.

When she saw it was Gu Jiao, a smile appeared on her pale face: "Girl Gu is here." She looked at Princess Rui with red eyes, and said helplessly, "I said I'm fine, why are you struggling again? Trouble Miss Gu too? Can't you just have a baby in the house? I have to send a letter to King Rui later and let him take care of you."

Princess Rui choked and said, "Your Highness will not forbid me to come. Your Highness is more worried about your body than I am."

"Oh, you guys..." Concubine Jing shook her head, as if she didn't know what to say.

Gu Jiao took the pulse for Concubine Jing.

Concubine Jing looked at Gu Jiao and said, "I'm fine, it's just that the weather is too hot. It's like this every summer. Miss Gu doesn't have to worry about it."

Judging from the pulse, Concubine Jing was indeed not seriously ill, but was stagnant in her heart and qi, depleted in blood and qi, and weak and weak.

"You can't stop eating." Gu Jiao said.

Madam Cai hurriedly said: "Listen, listen, Miss Gu said so, don't you eat?"

Concubine Jing smiled and said, "It's too hot to eat."

Concubine Rui said, "Empress Concubine, Your Majesty has returned to the palace."

Concubine Jing was stunned for a moment: "Really?"

Princess Rui said: "If you don't believe me, ask Miss Gu, Miss Gu won't lie."

Concubine Jing's expectant gaze fell on Gu Jiao's face.

Gu Jiao nodded: "Your Majesty has returned to the palace."

Concubine Jing asked nervously: "Then his body... is he okay? I heard that he was assassinated and was injured. I don't know how serious it is..."

Gu Jiao said truthfully: "It's healed, Your Majesty's dragon body is healthy."

Concubine Jing let out a long sigh of relief: "Amitabha, good is good."

"Now you finally have an appetite, right? This servant will let someone cook some fast food." Cai mama smiled happily, turned to Gu Jiao and Princess Rui and said, "If Princess Rui and Miss Gu don't dislike it, stay with us. The concubine, the concubine, have a meal and then go, I am afraid that if you leave like this, the concubine will not eat again."

Concubine Jing gave Madam Cai an angry look: "Where are the children in the nunnery used to eating?"

"I'm used to eating, I'm used to eating! Miss Gu?" Princess Rui winked at Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao has no opinion.

She has never eaten ancient vegetarian food, which is strange.

Facts have proved that Gu Jiao overestimated the cooking level of the nunnery, and Xiao Jingkong is basically vegetarian at home, but whether it is Gu Jiao or the old sacrifice wine, the vegetarian dishes made are not only varied, full of color, aroma, and childishness. .

Gu Jiao looked at the bowl of boiled tofu, boiled bean sprouts, shallots mixed with cucumbers in front of her... She was not a picky eater and felt that this meal was really too vegetarian...

Xu Zai was really relieved. Toffee Jing had a good appetite. She ate half a bowl of rice and a little vegetarian food, and also drank a bowl of tofu soup.

Princess Rui really couldn't get used to it. She grew up with brocade clothes and jade food. Eating this kind of food is almost like eating soil. After a few chopsticks, she can't eat it anymore.

Concubine Jing laughed at her: "Just say you are not used to it."

Princess Rui cleared her throat: "I, I have a bad appetite when I'm pregnant, so I'm not used to it."

Concubine Jing smiled.

After dinner, Princess Rui chatted with Princess Jing for a while, and Princess Jing was worried that it was too late, so she urged her and Gu Jiao to get on the carriage back to Beijing.

On the carriage, Princess Rui said distressedly: "The empress is too bitter, she has been eating such unpalatable meals all these years..."

"It's not too bad." Gu Jiao said.

Princess Rui said sadly: "Isn't that unpalatable? So vegetarian... so bland... She is so pitiful... She is the most pitiful woman of the late emperor..."

Gu Jiao paused and said, "Isn't the most pitiful queen mother?"

Princess Rui asked curiously, "What is there to be pitiful for the queen mother? She is the lord of the six palaces and the overlord of the court. She is powerful and calls the wind and rain. She is more beautiful than the emperor. She has nothing to do with the pitiful."

Although Princess Rui is from the line of King Ning, from the point of view of her grandson's daughter-in-law, she prefers the gentle and kind Concubine Jing. Empress Dowager Zhuang was too strong, her methods were cruel, and she was inhumane, and Princess Rui didn't dare to get along with her at all.

Still feel at ease here with Princess Jing.

But my aunt...is the loneliest person.

Gu Jiao did not argue with Princess Rui, everyone has their own ideas, and there is no need to impose their will on others.

All she had to do was hurt her aunt more.

Together with other people's share, that many shares, I will give it to my aunt.

The carriage walked slowly, Princess Rui gradually became sleepy, her little head tilted on Gu Jiao's shoulder, and fell asleep.

Gu Jiao was also a little sleepy.

She closed her eyes slightly, and was about to sleep for a while, when suddenly her ears moved, and she heard a very secret and very fast cracking sound in the air.

She opened her eyes suddenly, raised her hand, stretched out to Princess Rui, and caught a cold arrow that shot in!

Princess Rui was awakened by the arrow, and her body shook: "What's wrong?"

When she opened her eyes, she saw a metal arrow flashing with cold light!

She looked at Gu Jiao's hand, which had grabbed the arrow, and cold sweat broke out suddenly.

If it wasn't for Gu Jiao's quick response, then she would have...

Her face turned pale: "Girl Gu..."

Gu Jiao's eyes turned cold, she clasped Princess Rui's head with one hand, pressed her into her arms and turned sideways!

shhhhhh!

Three arrows flew past her long hair and nailed it to the wall of the car that the two of them were leaning against!

Gu Jiao looked coldly at the car window with several holes, and the arrow in her hand turned and flew out!
