Chapter 329 The Enemy of the Enemy Is a Friend

"I won't embarrass you today."

Gu Jiu lowered his head.

You are embarrassing people like this, and you still say that you are not embarrassing, do you want your face?

"When Liu Zhao returns to Beijing, I will take care of him. You husband and wife are one, and your business is his business."

Gu Jiu shed tears of sympathy for Liu Zhao.

"Talk today, don't mention it to anyone. If you let me know that someone is talking about this, I will not let you all go."

Gu Jiu, Shaofu Family Order, and Chen Dachang all bowed and said yes.

"Gu Jiu, you should reflect on it after you go back. This time the merits and demerits are equal, and I will neither reward you nor punish you. Next time, if you think that it will be beneficial to the economy and people's livelihood, you will ask Liu Zhao to write a report in this newspaper."

Gu Jiu: Liu Zhao was not at home, so she couldn't find anyone she tried to find.

The emperor seemed to know what she was thinking, "Don't worry, within half a year, I will recruit Liu Zhao to serve in the DPRK. By then, the two of you will be able to meet every day."

Another half a year?

Can I still have a baby this year? Or put it off until next year.

However, it will be postponed until next year. It is estimated that from the palace to the palace, from the palace to the Gu family, all of them will be anxious to get angry.

Why don't you give birth? Why are you still not born?

She could imagine the expressions on everyone's face when they gave birth, a distressed and sincere look.

"Don't think that half a year is too long, Liu Zhao has errands to do."

The emperor must have a mind-reading radar, and he can accurately guess what she thinks every time.

The emperor waved his hand and dismissed her.

Gu Jiu bowed and retreated, heaving a sigh of relief.

It's not easy to finally walk out of Xingqing Palace alive!

She called the Shaofu Family Order, "Old Ancestor, congratulations!"

It is a great event for the old man that the Shaofu family has the power to control it, so it is natural to congratulate him.

The commander of the Shaofu family stroked his beard and laughed, and the two walked out of the palace together.

"Thanks to you, Xiao Jiu, this old man has this opportunity. What's your problem?

Although, as long as the old man can do it. "

Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, "The younger generation really needs the help of the ancestors for two things, but it's all a little effort."

"you say!"

"I want to buy the section of Yuhua Lane on the Inner City River. I also ask my ancestors to accommodate this matter."

Shaofu Jialing looked at her intently, "Do you really want to remodel Yuhua Lane?"

Gu Jiu nodded, "This matter is still being kept in the dark by the Li family, so please keep it a secret for me."

The Shaofu family made a laugh, and he couldn't stand the Li family. A nouveau riche, relying on the favor of Concubine Li De, he showed off his power all day long, and he did not even pay attention to this young mansion.

Concubine Li's elder brother was on duty in the Shaofu, and there were many conflicts with the Shaofu family decree on official matters.

The Shaofu family was too old and could not afford to toss and avoid his edge. If you ask him if he is depressed? Of course frustrating.

Gu Jiu calculated the Li family, and the Shaofu family was happy to see it succeed.

As the saying goes, the enemy of the enemy is the friend.

He asked, "Can Yuhua Lane really make money?"

Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, "A day ago, did the ancestor think that His Majesty would allow the Shaofu to lend money?"

"Haha... You're right. Okay, the old man will help you with this matter. From the inner city gate to Yuhua Lane, the old man will get it all for you. All you need to do is prepare the money."

Gu Jiu was pleasantly surprised, "Thank you, ancestor. This second little request is about the bank."

The commander of the Shaofu family became serious, "Tell me, old man, listen."

Gu Jiu lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty asked the ancestors to kill chickens to warn the monkeys. As far as I know, the Li family also opened a bank, and the monthly interest is 40%. Do you think this chicken ancestor is enough?"

When Gu Jiu first fooled the Shaofu family order, he never thought of using the Shaofu to clean up the Li family.

But now that the opportunity came, she naturally wouldn't let it go.

Not only did she want the Li family to bleed, she also wanted the Li family to cut the meat.

Dare to fight against her, do you really think she is a soft persimmon? If they don't fight back fiercely, the Li family will intensify their bullying.

The Shaofu family order pondered and seemed to hesitate.

Gu Jiu asked, "Is the ancestor worried about where Concubine Li De is?"

"Exactly. Concubine Li De gave birth to a little prince and is currently being favored. It is unwise to take action against the Li family at this time!"

"The words of the ancestors are right and wrong. The Li family is now cooking oil. It seems unshakable, but in fact it is vulnerable."

"how do I say this."

Gu Jiu asked softly: "In Your Majesty's heart, what is the most important thing? Naturally, it is Jiangshan Sheji, and the people of Limin.

The Li family opened a bank and made loan sharks at high interest rates, forcing the small people's family to break down, and some people have even become pirates. Should such a banker be killed as an example?

With so many banks, which one can match the weight of the Li family bank?

It can be said that killing ten banks and a hundred banks is not as good as killing one Li family bank. This is the weight of the Li family Qianzhuang, and this is the real example of killing a hundred people.

Also, the Li family is not equal to Concubine Li De. I dare to say that the ancestors moved the Li family's bank, and as long as Concubine Li De is not stupid, she will never dare to come forward. "

"Why don't you dare to come forward?"

"Because she wants to accumulate virtue for the little prince! If she dares to come forward, she is condoning the father and son of the Li family to commit rape and crime. You say, can your majesty allow the little prince to have such a grandfather? The Li family's hand is cut off. This is for the sake of the Jiangshan community and the little prince."

The Shaofu family order seemed to be moved by Gu Jiu, but he still hadn't made up his mind.

Gu Jiu gritted his teeth and simply expanded his moves, "Does the ancestor really think that the little prince can ascend to the throne?"

This topic was too bold, and it stunned the Shaofu family.

Gu Jiu lowered his voice, "The old ancestors didn't want to leave a name in the history? Don't want to please the future emperor? Don't want to work in the position of the Shaofu family for ten or twenty years?"

The Shaofu family made his heart beat faster and looked around. Seeing that there was no one around, he felt relieved.

"You're too bold to say such things in the palace. Don't pay attention to the occasion."

Gu Jiu smiled lightly, "Most of the people in the palace actually have the same position as you and me. The ancestors don't need to be too nervous."

"Even so, you shouldn't talk nonsense regardless of the occasion."

Gu Jiu bowed and bowed, "What the ancestors taught is that the younger generation will definitely pay attention to the occasion of speaking in the future."

The commander of the Shaofu family was silent for a moment, before he said, "I can think about this matter. You said just now that the Li family forced the Xiaomin family into ruins and turned the grass into a bandit. Is this true?"

"Of course it's true. I have evidence, the ancestors need it, and I can provide it at any time."

The witnesses and materials were collected by Liu Zhao.

Gu Jiu picked up a ready-made one and used it first.

The Shaofu Family Order nodded, "Okay then. You have prepared the witnesses and physical evidence, and when the old man needs it, you can deliver it immediately."

"Junior understands."

Gu Jiu went out of the palace satisfied, and this time it was a big victory, provided that he ignored the emperor's torture and wanted to clean up Liu Zhao's remarks.

She boarded the carriage to go back to the palace.

A man swooped in front of the carriage, startling Ma Xiaoliu and the driver.

"Mrs. Zhao, we meet again."

Zhou Miao looked at Gu Jiu with a smile.

Gu Jiu had a headache.

Without saying hello, Zhou Miao took the initiative to board the carriage and sat opposite Gu Jiu.

Gu Jiu coughed lightly, and the driver knew what he was interested in, and hurriedly waved the whip, and the carriage slowly left the palace gate.

She stared at Zhou Miao, her eyes probed, "Eunuch Zhou is not working in the palace, how can you leave the palace when you have time?"

Zhou Miao smiled and said, "I heard that Madam entered the palace, so I kept waiting. I finally waited for the Shaofu family order to leave before I came together. Madam, don't worry, I was very careful not to let outsiders know about the relationship between you and me. ."

Gu Jiu looked at each other with a half-smile but not a smile, "The relationship between you and me is really something to worry about, but it's just a business relationship."

Zhou Miao was stunned at first, and then laughed in a suppressed manner.

"Madam's statement is wonderful. The word "buy and sell" really explains the relationship between you and me since we met."

Gu Jiu smiled indifferently, "Eunuch Zhou is really busy, could it be that you have been following my movements?"

"That's natural. Madam has said that you and I are in a business relationship. You are my gold master. Can I not care about the whereabouts of the gold master?"

Zhou Miao looked at her with a smile.

Gu Jiu lifted the curtains of the car and looked outside.

In front of the square is the market. The market is very lively and extremely noisy. Also a good place to talk.

She stopped going around in circles and asked directly, "Eunuch Zhou asked me why?"

Zhou Miao smiled and said, "Does Madam think that I'm going to ask you for money again?"

Gu Jiu didn't say anything, just looked at each other with a smile.

Zhou Miao didn't give in, he continued, "Don't worry madam, I came today not to ask madam for money. I came to send news to madam."

Gu Jiu raised her eyebrows and waited for Zhou Miao's next words.

Zhou Miao lowered her voice and said, "When Jiang Shuyi was sleeping in the bed a few days ago, the emperor was briefly in a coma."

Gu Jiu put away her smile and looked solemn, "Really?"

"The news of this matter was blocked in the palace, and I also heard from Jiang Shuyi. In such an instant, the emperor fell directly to the ground, frightening Jiang Shuyi to death. In the blink of an eye, the emperor stood up again, It's like nothing happened. But Jiang Shuyi is very sure that the emperor lost consciousness at that moment."

Gu Jiu's face is serious, does the emperor have high blood pressure? Cerebral infarction? Or some other disease symptoms?

In short, the situation of suddenly losing consciousness and falling to the ground obviously sent a strong signal that something was wrong with the emperor's body.

Small problems can become big problems if they are not taken seriously.

Gu Jiu asked, "Is the emperor still taking the medicine pill?"

Zhou Miao laughed, "I don't know about this. Madam is disappointed."

Gu Jiu looked at him with a half-smile, and directly took out a thousand taels of silver.

She is rich now, not less than a thousand taels.

She threw a thousand taels directly in front of Zhou Miao and asked again, "Is the emperor still taking the medicine pill?"

Zhou Miao said with a smile: "I also took one last month."

"You mean you didn't take it this month?"

"As far as I know, I haven't taken the pills this month. But I have summoned alchemists to discuss the Tao for three consecutive days."

Zhou Miao stretched out her hand and held a corner of the bank note, but Gu Jiu hadn't let go, and the bank note still didn't fall into his pocket.

Gu Jiu stared at him, "Didn't you lie to me?"

"Madam can really joke, we have worked together for so long, I have said a nonsense to Madam."

Gu Jiu smiled and let go of her hand gently.

Zhou Miao hurriedly put the thousand taels in his arms in his arms, looking like a money fan.

Gu Jiu asked as if talking at home: "How is Empress Shuyi doing recently?"

"Ms. Shuyi died recently."

Zhou Miao said slightly exaggeratedly: "The Empress was sandwiched between Concubine Li De and Concubine Xue Gui, and her life was really miserable. Concubine Xue Gui never gave her a good face. Concubine Li De thought that Empress Shuyi had stolen her favor, and she treated Shuyi well. Niangniang is just for face, and it's not very good."

Gu Jiu raised her eyebrows and smiled, "It's okay to coax a three-year-old, so don't take it to me and coax me."

Zhou Miao laughed, "Actually, Empress Shuyi's life is not bad, but she is bitter."

Gu Jiu narrowed her eyes slightly, "She is favored by His Majesty, has Concubine Li De as her backing, her family has settled down and she has been given an official position. What pain does she have in her heart? She should laugh now."

I can't even laugh at this time, so what will I do when I encounter real hard times in the future?

Zhou Miao said, "Not everyone can think like Madam."

Gu Jiu looked at him with a half-smile, "Eunuch Zhou, if you don't want to tell the truth with Mrs. Ben, Mrs. Ben won't force it. There is a restaurant in front of us, so we might as well separate in front of Eunuch Zhou, take the money and have a meal. yes."

Zhou Miao smiled, "Madam thought I was lying to you, but I don't know what I said was true. Madam really thought that Concubine Li De would treat Empress Shuyi as a confidant? Do you really think Empress Shuyi is not bitter?"

Gu Jiu snorted softly, "Jiang Shuyi may be really bitter in her heart, but the reason why she feels bitter in her heart must not be what you said. There should be an agreement between you and Jiang Shuyi. Besides me, Jiang Shuyi There should be other ways to go. Right?"

Zhou Miao was absent-minded for a moment, thinking that Mrs. Zhao had a keen insight.

In a blink of an eye, he laughed nonchalantly again, "Jiang Shuyi and I do have an agreement. As for whether she has prepared other ways, Madam had better ask Empress Shuyi in person."

Gu Jiu understood it in his heart and smiled: "In any case, today I would like to thank you for sending the news in person. It's getting late, I should go back to the palace, father-in-law, please do it yourself."

Zhou Miao looked out of the carriage, "I heard that Madam opened a pharmacy. Recently, my godfather is not feeling well. As a son, I want to honor his old man."

Gu Jiu was very straightforward. She knocked on the wall of the carriage, raised her voice and instructed the driver, "Go to the pharmacy."

The carriage slowly turned a corner and drove towards the pharmacy.

When they arrived at the drugstore, Gu Jiu asked Qingmei to pass a message to Er Zhuang, and Zhou Miao could choose the herbs in the drugstore.

"Thank you ma'am, I'm welcome."

"Just don't let the pharmacy go bankrupt."

"Don't worry ma'am, I am a very measured person."

Zhou Miao jumped off the carriage and entered the pharmacy. Dr. Tian dropped the matter at hand and greeted him personally.

Er Zhuang came to the carriage and said, "Madam, does this Eunuch Zhou want a special treat?"

Gu Jiu said, "Don't be too polite. Whatever other guests greet, they will do with him."

Zhou Miao is best at pushing her nose on her face, so she must not be soft.

Before Zhou Miao finished picking the herbs, Gu Jiu returned to the palace in a carriage.

She went to the tourmaline pavilion first to recover her life.

King Ning stared at her, "This trip has been delayed for a long time."

"Father is right, it really took a lot of time." Gu Jiu bowed slightly.

King Ning pondered for a moment. Seeing that Gu Jiu didn't intend to speak out, he simply asked, "Why did the old man call you into the palace?"

The emperor's threat was still in his ears. Gu Jiu couldn't say anything about the Shaofu, about lending, and about establishing reserves.

She considered it for a while and said, "Your Majesty asked the daughter-in-law about the son."

"Liu Zhao?"

Ning Wang frowned, unable to figure it out, and also surprised.

Gu Jiu said nonsense seriously, "It's really about Young Master."

"What exactly did the old man ask?"

"I asked about my daily life, and I also asked about my son's pastime when he has no errands on weekdays."

"That's all?" Ning Wang stared at Gu Jiu suspiciously, always feeling that she wasn't telling the truth.

Gu Jiu said sincerely: "That's what I asked. Apart from the matter of the son, my daughter-in-law can't think of anything else that your majesty needs to consult her daughter-in-law."

Ning Wang frowned, "Which old man did he sing? Why did he suddenly ask Liu Zhao."

"The daughter-in-law doesn't know the reason. If the father has nothing else, the daughter-in-law wants to retire first."

King Ning waved his hand in distress, and Gu Jiu took the opportunity to get up and say goodbye.

"Are you telling the truth when you look at the eldest daughter-in-law?" King Ning asked Chang En, the servant beside him.

Chang En bowed slightly, "The old slave thought that the eldest lady didn't tell the truth."

King Ning laughed, "Of course she didn't tell the truth. But if the old man didn't ask about Liu Zhao, why did he call the eldest daughter-in-law to the palace? The eldest daughter-in-law is just a housewife, so what reason does the old man have to call her into the palace? ?"

This was also the reason why Ning Wang was willing to let Gu Jiu go easily.

He realized that the reason why the emperor asked Gu Jiu to enter the palace must be very simple, and the emperor must have issued a gag order.

Now that he knew that Gu Jiu couldn't tell the truth, King Ning didn't bother to waste time.

Chang En made a bold guess, "Could it be related to Lichu?"

King Ning's heartbeat accelerated instantly, "You mean the old man is investigating the emperor's grandson? Watching the emperor's grandson on the establishment of the heir?"
