The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 363 Major Discovery (Part 1)

Gu Jiao heard from Eunuch Qin that the relationship between His Majesty and Auntie was very close at first, but they gradually drifted apart for some reason.

Eunuch Qin couldn't tell exactly when it started. In short, the relationship between the two became more and more rigid, and Princess Ning'an was caught in the middle. After His Majesty ascended the throne, the Empress Dowager listened to the government behind the curtain, and dispatched Concubine Jing to the nunnery, the relationship between the two was completely shattered.

Seeing Gu Jiao's pensive look, Nan Xiang knew what she was thinking of.

But she didn't ask much.

She likes Gu Xiaoshun and is willing to become a family member with Gu Xiaoshun, so she will naturally treat Gu Jiao differently, but she will not really use the airs of an elder to interfere in Gu Jiao's private affairs.

If Gu Jiao is willing to say, she will listen; if it is inconvenient to confide, she will not ask.

Gu Jiao said again: "Master Nan, just now you said that this herb is a medicinal herb, that is to say, it needs to be used in combination with medicine?"

"That's right, this kind of medicine is very rare in the six countries. It was originally..." Nan Xiang paused, smiled, and said, "It's a kind of drug for the Tang Sect. It can be divided into white medicine and black medicine. At first it was used to control some disobedient people, but later it was banned by the elders of the Tang Sect because the method was too low. It’s just that many people in the Six Kingdoms coveted this recipe and stole it from the Tang Sect.”

Tangmen.

Gu Jiao heard about a new name.

Nan Xiang continued: "However, even if there is a prescription, it is not so easy to refine the medicine. As far as I know, there is no doctor or pharmacist in Xiaguo who can make the prescription."

Gu Jiao asked, "Have Mrs. Nan seen this prescription?"

Nan Xiang sighed and shook his head: "Unfortunately, I haven't seen it."

Gu Jiao nodded, and asked: "So... white medicine makes people like it, but black medicine makes people hate it?"

Nan Xiang said: "That's right."

After living for two lifetimes, she didn't know that there was such a medicine in the world, she was ignorant and ignorant.

Gu Jiao became more and more interested, and then asked: "How does this work? How can I ensure that I don't get the wrong person?"

Nan Xiang smiled warmly: "As long as it is hand-fed, there is usually nothing wrong."

In this way, Gu Jiao understands, if this guess is true, then Dowager Jing fed the emperor the white medicine with her own hands, and her aunt gave the emperor the black medicine with her own hands.

My aunt herself certainly wouldn't cheat herself like this. At that time, my aunt hadn't set up defenses against Concubine Jing, so she should have been cheated by Concubine Jing.

Gu Jiao asked again: "What's the matter with Yaoyin? Are the Yaoyin of black medicine and white medicine the same?"

Nan Xiang smiled and nodded: "The medicines are all the same.

Some people have a firm personality and are not easily influenced by drugs. At this time, drugs are needed to stimulate the effect. Of course, there is another situation, that is, the effect of the medicine is not stable enough after a long time, and medicine is needed to deepen the effect of the medicine. Yaoyin does not need to be taken, it is enough for people to smell it from time to time. "

At this point in the conversation, it is no longer necessary to guess who gave the purse to Eunuch Wei.

Not to mention that Gu Jiao picked up the purse and smelled it, and there was a strong scent of sandalwood on it, no doubt it was sent from the nunnery.

Gu Jiao weighed the purse in her hand, and said, "Master Nan's nose is really sharp, and the sandalwood fragrance is so strong, you can smell the medicinal fragrance inside."

Nan Xiang smiled: "This is the same as your doctor's identification of medicinal materials."

People are always very sensitive to things they are familiar with. If it contains aconitum aconitum, I believe this little girl can smell it through the sandalwood.

Gu Jiao looked at Nan Xiang and said, "It seems that Mrs. Nan is not someone who can recognize this medicine."

Nan Xiang smiled and said, "To each other."

This little girl is not a soft persimmon to be bullied, and she has hidden skills that are unknown to everyone.

Both of them are smart and witty. As far as private matters are concerned, it is respect and trust—respecting each other's identities and secrets, and at the same time trusting that these secrets will not hurt each other's family and themselves.

From Nan Xiang's mouth, Gu Jiao has a new understanding of this time and space. It turns out that there is not only a Turkic, but also a Tang Sect outside the Six Kingdoms.

The Tang Sect lives away from the world and does not communicate with the Six Kingdoms. People in the Tang Sect are not allowed to leave the Tang Sect, and they are not allowed to step into the Six Kingdoms.

Of course, it is this kind of medicine that Nan Xiang and Gu Jiao have popularized the most. No matter whether it is black medicine or white medicine, there is no specific antidote. never disappear.

Gu Jiao thought about it: "What symptoms will appear when the effect of the medicine wears off?"

Nan Xiang shook his head: "I haven't seen the specifics, I only heard that there may be backlash, such as... nightmares."

What Nan Xiang didn't say was that there might be some insanity, but after all, she hadn't really seen it, and it wasn't necessarily someone else's nonsense.

Gu Jiao thought about it seriously, Eunuch Wei did say that the emperor had trouble sleeping a while ago, could it be related to this?

She looked at the dried flowers on the table and said, "Can Yaoyin prevent the effect of the medicine from disappearing?"

"Theoretically, it is possible, but—" Nan Xiang touched a table of dried flowers, "One or two tablets of ordinary medicine are enough, and after using so much, it can only be said that the condition of the drugged person is very unstable. The effect of the medicine has been unable to recover. Unless, the other party is planning to give that person another medicine."

"Will it work again next time?" Gu Jiao asked.

Nan Xiang thought about it seriously: "There should be, but it's hard to say how many are left."

So Concubine Jing did go to buy medicine yesterday, and she planned to give the emperor another medicine, because no matter what the effect of the medicine would be, it would not be worse than it is now.

Concubine Jing led the emperor to have dinner in the nunnery last night with the intention of drugging him, but it happened that Gu Jiao was also there, so Concubine Jing couldn't do anything.

But Concubine Jing will not stop there, Gu Jiao thinks that she will find another chance to get close to the emperor.

"I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first, and I'll visit you another day." After sitting for a while, Nan Xiang got up and said goodbye.

Gu Jiao took Gu Xiaoshun to the door with Master Lu.

After getting into the carriage, Master Lu sighed, "Aren't you afraid of revealing your identity after talking so much with that girl?"

Nan Xiang didn't care much and said: "What are you afraid of? Soldiers come to cover up the water and earth. Soon she will be our son's older sister. When something happens to her, we can't just stand by and watch."

Master Lu held her hand, and said earnestly: "It's not that I'm selfish, it's that you can put yourself in again. I don't want to have a second thing like that happened more than ten years ago. The royal family has its own royal family. The people who need to solve it, don't go into the muddy water."

Nan Xiang touched the disfigured face through the veil, smiled, and said, "Got it."

At night, except for Xiao Qingkong, who was taken captive to the palace, the whole family came back, and they were all happy for Gu Xiaoshun when they heard that Gu Xiaoshun recognized Master Lu and Nan Xiang as adoptive father and mother.

Lao Jijiu cooked the kitchen himself, cooked a large table of delicious dishes, and celebrated Gu Xiaoshun's good life.

Gu Xiaoshun felt embarrassed, he was still in the fog, why did he become the son of the master and his wife?

Gu Yan looked at the dishes in his bowl that were about to fill up, and said seriously: "Look, I'm not wrong, my wife just likes you."

Gu Xiaoshun: "..."

Is that what you mean?

After dinner, Yu Ya'er took the bowls and chopsticks to the backyard, and everyone started to do their own things.

Gu Yan went to help Xiaojing Kong go out with chickens. He was supposed to go out before dinner, but who made him procrastinate, so he only went out after dark.

Gu Xiaoshun went to tidy up his logs, Xiao Liulang returned to the study, and Gu Jiao watered the vegetable garden in the front yard.

Yao Shi came over: "Jiaojiao."

"Huh?" Gu Jiao looked at Yao Shi while pouring water.

Holding a box in Yao's hand, he looked nervous and apprehensive: "Jiaojiao, come here."

"Okay." Gu Jiao put down the kettle and came to the stone table. Yao Shi had already sat down on a stone bench, so Gu Jiao sat beside her.

Yao shi put the box in his arms on the table, and gently pushed it in front of Gu Jiao.

"What is this?" Gu Jiao asked strangely.

Yao's eyes looked expectant: "Open it and have a look."

Gu Jiao raised her hand to open the box, and found that it was full of jewellery, exquisite and in excellent condition.

"This is..." Gu Jiao didn't understand Yao's intention.

Yao shi collected himself, summoned up the courage to take Gu Jiao's hand and said, "It's for you."

"Why?" Gu Jiao asked.

Today is not a big day, why did you give her so many jewelry?

Yao lowered his head, squeezed the handkerchief, and said, "I've wanted to give it to you for a long time, but I've been worried that you don't want it."

These are not very expensive jewelry, although they are in good condition, but they were all given to her by her grandmother before she left the court. I don't know how many years have passed, and the style is outdated.

It's not that she's really living poorly, it's just that the jewelry bought from outside is not as meaningful as the ones given to her by her grandmother.

But she thought it was meaningful, but she didn't know if her daughter would like it too.

Furthermore, apart from making a few clothes for her daughter every month, she doesn't want any money or silver for her daughter.

Gu Jiao didn't speak.

Yao Shi thought she was going to refuse, so he hurriedly said: "No, they are not worth anything! They are all old jewelry!"

This is not worth the money, so what is worth the money?

Gu Jiao doesn't know much about ancient styles, but she still knows gold. If you sell a box of pure gold jewelry, you can buy a small house in the capital.

Gu Jiao groaned: "It's very old..."

Yao Shi: "Yeah, it's not very old either!"

Geez, what the hell is she talking about?

It was too valuable, and I was worried that she would not accept it; it was too cheap, and it seemed that the gift was not worth enough.

Yao Shi has never been so entangled and distressed.

The corners of Gu Jiao's lips curled up, and she smiled: "It's pretty, I like it very much."

This is... I promised to accept it?

Yao shi's eyes lit up, and his heart that had been hanging all night finally let go.

She couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

In fact, she is not so much worried that her daughter will refuse the gift she gave her, but rather that she cares more about her daughter's rejection of her kindness to her.

Gu Jiao went back to the east room and took out the jewelry in the box to admire one by one.

As a visitor from another world, she really likes these jewelry, they are all antiques, antiques.

She was admiring when Xiao Liulang stopped at the door.

Gu Jiao was keenly aware of the breathing outside the door, she turned her head to look at him, her eyes were shining brightly: "Sir."

Xiao Liulang's breathing was almost messed up by a habitual address that didn't contain any charming thoughts.

Xiao Liulang covered his heart, glanced at the jewelry on the table, and covered his right hand with his wide sleeve.

"What did you take?" Gu Jiao still noticed it with sharp eyes.

"It's nothing." Xiao Liulang said, "I still have books to read."

He said, turned and left.

Gu Jiao put down the pearl hairpin in her hand, stepped forward a few steps, and grabbed Xiao Liulang's sleeve: "What did you take, show me."

Xiao Liulang said lightly: "It's nothing to say."

Gu Jiao didn't believe it, she stretched out her hand to grab his right hand hidden under the wide sleeve.

Even if he wanted to hide, how could he be Gu Jiao's opponent?

Gu Jiao quickly took the red rope from his hand.

This is a hand-woven red rope, with a few small jade stones thrown into it. The quality of the jade is not very good, but it is better than the exquisite handwork of the red rope.

"Is it for me?" Gu Jiao asked.

Once you get it all, there is no point in denying it.

Xiao Liulang hummed vaguely.

This was made by a grandma he saw on his way home from the Hanlin Academy. The moment the bright red color caught his eyes, he almost immediately thought of her.

I didn't think too much about it at the time, but I thought she would look good wearing it.

But when she bought it home, she realized that she had so many precious jewelry, and her poor bracelet...

Gu Jiao handed him the red rope together with her left wrist: "Help me put it on."

Xiao Liulang's eyelashes trembled, he took the rope, and accidentally touched hers with his fingertips, and a numb feeling went from his fingertips to his heart.

He put the red string on her slender wrist.

The creamy and jade-like wrists were highlighted by a few touches of whiteness from the extremely bright red, which was extremely seductive.
