Chapter 391 Take the Money and Spend It
The Tai Hospital finally got rid of the poison on Concubine Xiao Shu.
congratulations.
How did the hospital find the antidote? I heard that the records were found in an orphaned and remnant recipe.
Mr. Pei recited Amitabha Buddha no less than a hundred times, thank God, thank God and God Buddha.
Gu Jiu rubbed his shoulders and neck wearily.
She, Xiao Qin'er, and Mrs. Pei had lived in the palace for so many days, and the three of them all looked disheveled.
Too tired, poor appetite, people have lost a circle.
Madam Fang quietly came to Gu Jiu's side and whispered, "Eunuch Zhou is here."
Is this news?
She got up and walked outside.
Sure enough, Zhou Miao came.
Zhou Miao smiled and said, "I'm glad to hear that Concubine Shu's health has improved."
"Eunuch Zhou is polite."
Gu Jiu smiled and went directly to the wing.
Zhou Miao knew the machine and followed behind.
The two entered the wing room one after the other to talk.
"Have things been checked out?"
Gu Jiu asked straight to the point.
Zhou Miao looked around, and then whispered: "The person who poisoned is the same as the person who assassinated Prince Renxuan."
Gu Jiu frowned, "Are you sure?"
Zhou Miao was unhappy, "I bought this news for thousands of taels. If Madam doesn't believe it, I can't help it."
Gu Jiu waved his hand, "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that this thing is weird."
Isn't it strange that Concubine Shu's poisoning is actually linked to the assassination of Prince Renxuan?
She asked, "Is there any other news? Has Jin Wuwei caught anyone?"
Jin Wuwei blocked all the news, it was mysterious and seemed to be a dark thing.
As for the poisoning case of Concubine Shu, many people were arrested, and the Changchun Palace was cleaned.
But still no conclusion.
Liu Zhao secretly investigated this matter in private.
It's like a cloud of fog that obscures the truth. False and true, true and false.
Liu Zhao is also difficult to draw conclusions.
They need more clues.
Zhou Miao whispered: "Jin Wuwei is re-investigating the case of Prince Renxuan's assassination, and he also went to the palace to arraign the people."
Gu Jiu nodded, "Is there anything else?"
"Jin Wuwei seems to believe that the case was done by the remnants of kidnappers."
Gu Jiu looked at Zhou Miao with a half-smile, "That's all?"
Zhou Miao raised her eyebrows, "Madam is not satisfied?"
"After so many days, Eunuch Zhou heard this news. Is it because you are not capable or are you unwilling to do things for this lady?"
Gu Jiu smiled sarcastically.
Zhou Miao snorted coldly, "This piece of news is not cheap, we bought it all with money. If Madam is not satisfied, please ask another clever man."
Gu Jiu smiled, "Does Eunuch Zhou still need to spend money to buy news? You said that there were many vacancies in the palace, and you took money from me and planned to install your own people. Now it seems that the money for daring love has not been spent. what!"
Zhou Miao gritted her teeth, "Madam is thinking of things too simply. I am a small person, how can I put people in the Xingqing Palace, do I die?
It is not easy to hear these news. If Mrs. is not satisfied, then you can find Chen Dachang and see if he will reveal a word. "
Gu Jiu raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Eunuch Zhou, don't be impatient. My request was to find out the truth and find the real murderer. Where is the truth, and where is the real murderer?"
Zhou Miao snorted, "Whether it's the truth or the real murderer, it takes time. Back then, our family didn't say how long it would take to find out the truth."
Play word games with her.
Gu Jiu raised her eyebrows and smiled, "The implication is that Eunuch Zhou can neither find out the truth nor the real murderer, right?"
Zhou Miao smiled contemptuously, "I wonder if Prince Ning's mansion has found out the truth?"
"There is a clue. Jin Wuwei has a rubbing in his hand, a body tattoo rubbing. If Eunuch Zhou can get this rubbing, the previous things will be forgotten, and we can continue to cooperate in the future."
"Are you trying to kill our family?" Zhou Miao was furious.
Shang Jinwuwei stole something, what a joke.
Gu Jiu looked at him with a half-smiling smile, "Why should Eunuch Zhou belittle yourself. Li Dalang, you can easily solve it. A mere copy of the rubbing book is probably not a problem. Even if you can't do it, the people behind you will definitely be able to do it."
Zhou Miao had a pale face, and her expression changed again and again.
Gu Jiu was very straightforward, took out a stack of silver bills and placed them in front of Zhou Miao.
"This is hard work. When the rubbing is in hand, Mrs. Ben will be very grateful."
Zhou Miao glanced at the silver note on the table and estimated the thickness of it at 10,000 taels.
He loves money, and when he sees money, his heart beats faster, and his breathing becomes a little short.
However, this money is not so easy to get.
He sneered, "Is Madam going to use this money to buy my life?"
Gu Jiu said softly, "How could it be. I'm looking forward to Eunuch Zhou's long life."
Zhou Miao didn't believe a word.
"A rubbing copy is not difficult for Eunuch Zhou."
"Once Jin Wuwei is aware of it, our family will only have a dead end." Zhou Miao said fiercely.
"Why didn't you see Eunuch Zhou so nervous about the death of Li Dalang?"
The muscles on Zhou Miao's cheeks twitched, staring at Gu Jiu with red eyes, "Mrs. Zhao doesn't like me, does she want to kill me with a knife?"
"If you are caught by Jin Wuwei, tell them directly that I made you do this. So, does Eunuch Zhou still suspect that I used a knife to kill?"
Gu Jiu looked at each other calmly.
"Madam is not afraid of death." Zhou Miao sneered.
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "No one is not afraid of death. Is it really going to die? You didn't do it, how do you know you would die?"
"Madam doesn't have to use aggressive tactics. I can't help you steal the rubbing, but I can give you a piece of news that is not true or false."
Gu Jiu raised her eyebrows, and she knew that Zhou Miao was still hiding a hand.
"you say!"
Zhou Miao stared at the silver note on the table and smiled.
Snapped!
Gu Jiu's hand pressed directly on the silver note, "Eunuch Zhou first tell you about your hearsay. If it suits my heart, everything can be discussed."
Zhou Miao smiled and said, "Madam knows my heart, I want money."
"I can give it to you." Gu Jiu was very straightforward, "On the premise that your news is worth the price."
Zhou Miao said, "Don't worry, Madam, my news is guaranteed to be valuable."
Gu Jiu raised her eyebrows and waited for Zhou Miao's next words.
Zhou Miao was obviously a little nervous.
He glanced around habitually, and then said, "I have definite news that Concubine Shu's poisoning was definitely not the work of the kidnappers."
Oh!
Gu Jiu asked calmly, "It's not the remnant of the kidnapper, who did it?"
Zhou Miao laughed and said nothing.
Gu Jiu knew it in his heart, and pushed the bank note forward, "Please have your father-in-law drink tea."
Zhou Miao grinned, and quickly put away the bank note, "It's still madam. According to the information I got, the person who poisoned the kidnappers is most likely a spy. As for who placed the spy, this is unknown. The matter of the previous dynasty, after so many years, our family can't figure it out."
Hearing this, Gu Jiu's heart skipped a beat.
She pretended to be dissatisfied and asked, "Is there anything else? This bit of news is not worth so much money."
Zhou Miao thought for a while and said, "I only know the leader behind these mysterious people. No accident, it should be an eunuch. More news is gone."
Gu Jiu raised her eyebrows, "You are sure that the group of people who poisoned Concubine Shu is the eunuch leading the way."
"Our family has worked hard to find out this news. If Madam doesn't believe it, I can't help it."
"Can you find this eunuch?"
Zhou Miao shook his head, "I can't find it, no one can find this person. Because everyone who has seen this person is dead. Those who haven't died must not know the true identity of this person."
"This person you are talking about has nothing to do with the mysterious power behind the kidnapper?"
"Even if there is a relationship, it should be a hostile relationship. In short, I don't know the specific situation, I only know so much. I hope it will help Madam."
Zhou Miao plans to leave.
"and many more!"
Gu Jiu stopped him.
She took out another stack of silver bills and put them on the table.
Zhou Miao was speechless, how many banknotes did Gu Jiu carry?
Don't you just live in the palace for a few days and bring so many banknotes, are you trying to kill someone with money?
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Inquiring about this leader for me and collecting all relevant information, I must be very grateful."
"Can't hear."
"Father-in-law, don't belittle yourself."
Gu Jiu flicked the silver note on the table, and she didn't believe that Zhou Miao was not interested.
Zhou Miao was very moved.
But you have to spend your life if you take the money.
Where is this money, it is clearly a hot potato.
He shook his head again and again, "Don't count on me, Madam, I don't have the ability. Madam, please ask another wise man."
After speaking, he hurriedly left the wing. Look at his steps, as if running for his life.
Gu Jiu raised her eyebrows, Zhou Miao's leading eunuch was really so terrifying?
Then what was his intention to poison Concubine Shu?
Have a personal vendetta? Or do things for people?
Or is it really using a knife to kill people, using the knife in the hands of the emperor to kill the remnants of the kidnappers?
Zhou Miao personally said that the leading eunuch had a hostile relationship with the kidnapper's remnants.
Gu Jiu rubbed his brows.
Worry about clues when there are no clues.
Now that there are clues, there are countless possibilities.
Manpower is exhausted, and it is impossible to check all possibilities.
Gu Jiu was angry.
Zhou Miao definitely knew something.
However, Zhou Miao had concerns in his heart, and even the banknotes could not impress him. It could be seen that the concerns in his heart were already related to his life.
Forget it, she didn't force Zhou Miao.
In the future, when the time came, she would not believe that Zhou Miao would not reveal the truth.
...
After confirming that Concubine Shu was in good health, Mrs. Pei led Gu Jiu and Xiao Qin'er back to the palace.
These days, Gu Jiu was exhausted.
Returning to the familiar East Courtyard and making a trip to the soft collapse, she didn't want to move anymore.
I'm hungry and tired, but I don't want to eat.
Because I was too tired to eat.
At this time, only sleep can satisfy her.
She closed her eyes, but within a few seconds, she had fallen into a deep sleep.
This time, she slept soundly.
Even if there is thunder, it is impossible to wake her up.
When I woke up, the sky was still bright.
She rubbed her eyes, hey, lying on the bed.
She clearly remembered that when she slept, she was on a soft slump.
Look at the sky, she hasn't slept for a long time.
Qingmei came in with hot water and said, "My wife slept for a day and a night."
"One day and one night?" Gu Jiu was surprised, she thought she hadn't slept much.
After feeling it for a while, the feeling of drowsiness is gone, and there is a sense of satisfaction after a full sleep.
Sure enough, the effect is only after sleeping for a day and a night.
She got out of bed to wash and asked, "How did I get on the bed?"
"Of course it was the son who carried the madam to the bed. The son also instructed the servants not to wake up the madam and let the madam get a good night's sleep."
When Gu Jiu heard this, the corners of his brows and eyes were full of smiles.
She asked, "Where is the son?"
"My son went to the yamen on business. The son said that when the wife wakes up, she should remind her to eat quickly. I have been hungry for a day and a night, and my stomach must be very uncomfortable. Eat something soft first to warm the stomach."
If you don't say you're hungry, you don't know if you're hungry. Gu Jiu's stomach growled when he mentioned hunger.
Qingmei covered her lips and smiled, "Qingzhu made porridge for Madam, and also boiled old duck soup, all warm."
"Drink the soup first."
Gu Jiu would really want to eat a big meal.
Porridge doesn't match the temperament of a big meal, so she refuses to drink it.
She wants soup and a big meal.
After taking a shower, my body is full of fragrance. Putting on cotton home clothes, lying in a warm little study, drinking small wine and eating a big meal, this is the life people live.
In just a few days in the palace, I couldn't eat well, I couldn't sleep well, I couldn't rest in peace every day, and it wasn't a human life at all.
In that place in the palace, the temperament is not in line with normal people's living.
Even if a normal person lives in it, it will be perverted.
Sure enough, his own little days are still enjoyable.
After eating and drinking, she was a little sleepy again.
"I'll take a break. When the son comes back, remember to wake me up."
Qingmei asked, "Can't Madam get up and move around to digest food?"
Gu Jiu was sluggish and unwilling to get up, "I won't walk around to digest food today, it's the same as lying down."
When Qingzhu heard it, he laughed, "In the past, Madam used to say that you will grow flesh while lying down. Now Madam is not afraid of growing flesh."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "I lie down twice every now and then and I won't gain weight. Even if I do gain weight, I can still lose weight."
She is young now and has a fast metabolism. It can be digested and absorbed quickly after eating, and it is really not easy to grow meat.
But wait another ten years, twenty years, when you are old, you can't dare to do this.
Older people will grow fat if they are not careful.
Gu Jiu couldn't accept the fact that he was covered in fat.
After chatting and laughing with the maids, she yawned and slowly closed her eyes.
Xiao Cui came in from the outside and shouted, "The eldest brother is about to turn one year old, and the concubine said that she will hold a birthday banquet for the eldest brother, so that you are not lucky."
Gu Jiu suddenly opened his eyes, "You want to hold a birthday party for eldest brother?"
"That's what the lady said."
Gu Jiu sat up from the soft slump and rubbed his brows, "I remember that it's not a few days since my eldest brother turned one year old."
Qingmei said, "There are still three days left."
Three days is not enough time to organize a banquet.
It's too late to post.
How can there be an invitation only two or three days before the banquet is approaching, it is too careless.
Gu Jiu asked, "Did the princess tell you what to do with the birthday banquet?"
"The princess said that the time was tight, so she would have a meal with her family to celebrate for the eldest brother."
It turned out not to be a big banquet, but just a meal for the family to celebrate.
Think about it too, only three days away from the first birthday. No, there are only two days left after today. Such a short time is really not enough to organize a banquet with hundreds of people.
Because it was too late to prepare.
Gu Jiu rubbed his brows, his head a little dizzy.
I was really tired when I entered the palace this time. It will make her feel sleepy after eating a meal after sleeping for a day and a night.
She instructed Qingmei, "Go to the warehouse and look for it to see if there are any items that are suitable for your eldest brother as a birthday present."
"The slave is going here."
Xiaocui asked, "Madam, do you want the servants to go out and inquire, and see what the second and third madams have given away."
"No. It's so cold, don't go out. Be careful of catching a cold."
"Thank you for your concern, madam, you are not afraid of the cold."
"Don't go out if you're not afraid of the cold."
Qingmei selected several items, please take a look at them.
There are jade carvings, longevity locks made of red gold, jade pendants, and a little tiger made of red gold.
"The slaves searched the warehouse and found these. Please let the madam make the decision."
Gu Jiu thought for a while, then pointed at the little red-gold tiger, "Send this."
The red gold little tiger, the size of a child's slap, is very good.
As for the Chijin Longevity Lock, she gave it once when the eldest brother was washing his third. This time it's one year old, it's not good to send the longevity lock again.
After choosing a gift, Ome went to choose a wooden box for packaging.
I finally found a suitable wooden box, put it on a black lining, and put the red gold tiger in it. It's really beautiful.
"Ma'am, do you think this is okay?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "It's good. Put it away, and send it to my eldest brother tomorrow."
Qingmei takes the lead.
Madam Fang sighed next to her, "It would be great if Madam also had a brother. The slaves make clothes for him every day, let Xiaocui play with him, and Qingzhu prepares food for him. Qingmei needlework is good, Together with the slaves, I will make clothes for my brother."
After speaking, Fang Mo couldn't help but look at Gu Jiu's abdomen.
Gu Jiu rubbed his abdomen and smiled, "There will be such a day."
