The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 444: The Originator of Deceiving People (Part 1)

After leaving the East Palace, Gu Jiao checked and accepted Gu Chengfeng's study results.

Gu Chengfeng refused in his heart.

Gu Jiao took out a bottle of hair restorer, and it was done easily.

After confirming that there is nothing wrong with Gu Chengfeng's main prop, Gu Jiao then started to prepare to lure the prince to take the bait.

First of all, she had to pick a moment when the princess was alone, and she could not let the princess have proof of her absence, and then she could guide the prince to "catch the traitor."

It was also a coincidence that in the evening, Empress Xiao asked the princess to go to Kunning Palace for dinner. Recently, there were a lot of things in the East Palace, and Qin Chuyu was taken back to Kunning Palace to be raised.

After dinner, Qin Chuyu wanted to go to Kunning Palace to find a little space, and Empress Xiao asked the crown princess to accompany Qin Chuyu.

The princess did not dare to refuse, and went with Qin Chuyu.

It's not too crazy for two little bastards to get together. From Renshou Palace to Yuhuayuan, and from Yuhuayuan to Taiye Pond, the crown princess was ordered to watch Qin Chuyu, so she had to follow her all the time.

But she couldn't keep up with the two little guys, she lost it after a while.

Chunying was the only one left beside the princess, which was too good to be dismissed.

Gu Jiao walked over directly: "Do me a favor, take it over there for me."

The princess frowned: "Why is it you again? Are you haunted?"

Gu Jiao raised her eyebrows: "Do you want to help?"

If the Crown Princess came to ask Gu Jiao, Gu Jiao would definitely not help her, but the Crown Princess was different, she had someone to set her up, she had status, so she had to help.

The Crown Princess looked at Gu Jiao's basket, and said to Chunying, "Help Dr. Gu take it."

"Yes!" Chunying reluctantly took the basket, and walked towards the gazebo together with Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao walked halfway, and said to Chunying: "You can take it directly to Renshou Palace, I still want to pick some fruits."

Chunying choked, didn't she just get the gazebo? Why has it changed to Renshou Palace now?

"My princess is there alone, I don't worry."

"I'll ask her to pick fruit together, okay?"

Is it because you told me to worry? Chunying muttered in her heart, but she didn't dare to attack her on the face.

This is the imperial palace, Qin Chuyu and the palace servants are nearby, Chunying forgives Gu Jiao for not daring to mess around, so she carries the basket and leaves.

Gu Jiao wouldn't really ask the princess to pick the fruit, she turned around and headed towards the imperial study.

The prince is in the imperial study today,

The news from Eunuch Qin.

When Gu Jiao arrived at the imperial study, the prince had just come out, and the prince gave her a strange look: "Why are you? What are you doing here?"

It seems that a royal study is a place where people like you can come?

The crown prince's impression of Gu Jiao remained at the level of Xiao Liulang's messy wife, ugly appearance, growing up in the countryside, being a lowly little medical girl, who somehow got lucky enough to be favored by His Majesty and Empress Dowager.

Anyway, I don't think highly of Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao didn't mind the Crown Prince's attitude towards her at all, since he came out, she saved herself from making up excuses to bring him out.

"I... pass by." Gu Jiao said without changing her expression, "Is the prince going back to the East Palace? I just met the princess near the Taiye pool."

The prince wanted to go back to the East Palace, but when he heard that the princess was in Taiye Pool, he changed his mind and went directly to Taiye Pool.

Gu Jiao is in the same direction as him.

The prince frowned, and asked impatiently, "Why are you following Gu?"

Gu Jiao raised her eyebrows and said: "I didn't follow His Royal Highness, I also want to go to Taiye Pool, my younger brother is playing with the Seventh Prince near Taiye Pool."

The prince had also heard of Qin Chuyu's new friend, the little guy named Jingkong.

The prince frowned and said nothing.

The two entered the harem together, and when passing by a rockery between Kunning Palace and Yongshou Palace, Gu Jiao's steps suddenly stopped.

"His Royal Highness!" she called her in a low voice.

The prince was very impatient, and asked her angrily, "What are you doing?"

"Shh~" Gu Jiao pressed her fingertips on her lips, making a silent gesture, "There is movement behind the rockery, listen!"

Generally speaking, the prince is not a very indifferent person, and he will not ignore what is happening around him. After hearing Gu Jiao's words, he frowned and stopped walking.

Then, he really heard movement from behind the rockery not far away.

That rockery was actually the former "crime scene". The difference is that the corner where Gu Jiao chose to eavesdrop is not the same as the original one.

At the beginning, the big tree where she and Princess Rui stood was too far away from the rockery, so she couldn't really hear it. Now she is standing with the prince on the path, half the distance from the rockery.

As long as the prince is not deaf, he should be able to hear everything behind the rockery.

"It's you? You... why are you here?"

This is the voice of the princess.

"I don't want to come either, but I can't."

This is not King Ning's voice.

King Ning was seriously injured on the bed, and he was lying in Prince Ning's mansion to recuperate. It would be a ghost if he could come here.

"I think you are crazy. This is the imperial palace. If you come to see me in broad daylight, you are not afraid of being discovered!"

"Don't worry, I'm very good at martial arts, and I won't let anyone find out."

"you go."

"I will leave after telling the master, the master wants you to remember that you are his woman, remember your identity! Don't always avoid him, if there is another time, he will not guarantee that he can take your relationship to the end gone."

"Are you threatening me?"

"The words have been brought, and I am leaving."

"Wait! He...how is his injury?"

Concerned and worried tone.

"If you are really worried about the master, you might as well visit him in person. I haven't seen the master for so long, don't you want to?"

She sighed bitterly: "What's the use of thinking? Is it because I want to go out of this deep palace? What should I do if I'm suspected?"

"Don't worry, as long as you want, the master will make arrangements for you."

In fact, it was gone when I asked about the injury. The next few sentences were played by Gu Chengfeng on the spot, and he added lines indiscriminately.

Gu Jiao was observing the prince's expression from the beginning to the end, the prince didn't react at all when he heard the first two sentences, and only frowned slightly when he heard the third sentence.

And when he heard the phrase "Leave after telling the master", his brows frowned even tighter, as if he was a little angry.

No, that's the only reaction to being cuckolded?

Isn't something wrong?

Based on the crown prince's feelings for Wen Linlang, he should have drawn his sword and rushed forward, not the adulterer who killed Wen Linlang, or both of them.

But no.

Gu Jiao asked strangely: "Prince, did you hear that man's voice just now?"

The prince snorted coldly: "How can Gu hear it? I don't know Gu!"

Gu Jiao opened her mouth: "You... don't know him? Don't you think Cai Cai's voice sounds familiar?"

Like a princess, is there any?

"Familiar?" The crown prince thought about it carefully, and then said, "It seems to be, it's a bit like Lin Lang's voice, but it's still far from it."

Gu Jiao: ...How did you hear that?

Or is it that this man's trust in the princess has been blinded to an unshakable level?

"Besides, Lin Lang will not betray me." The prince said.

Sure enough, it was the latter.

Prince, prince, you are really blind, and you are also really green.

The original plan was that the prince heard Wen Linlang's voice and suspected that she had an unclear relationship with a man outside the palace, so Gu Jiao secretly threw a few perjury evidence against King Ning.

As long as the crime of adultery with the princess is confirmed, King Ning will be powerless.

Who would have expected that the prince, a pig teammate, would be so weak?

Gu Jiao didn't want to talk to him anymore.

The prince said coldly: "I have to go and see, who is actually messing up the harem here!"

Go, go, you can only see ghosts!

Of course the crown prince couldn't see it, Gu Chengfeng used his lightness kung fu to leave after finishing his performance.

The prince clenched his fists: "Damn it, Gu will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly!"

Gu Jiao rolled her eyes.

The first plan fell through.

It didn't take long for this matter to reach King Ning's ears.

Since King Ning was beaten up by Gu Jiao, he secretly sent someone to watch Gu Jiao's movements.

King Ning was drinking medicine, and he squinted his eyes when he heard the words: "... She really took the prince to catch the traitor?"

Qi Fei said: "It should be catching traitors. She did not know where to find a very good ventriloquist, imitating the voice of the Crown Princess, that person is wearing a mask, and the subordinates don't know who he is."

King Ning sneered: "With this little means, I'm worthy of fighting with this king. Keep staring at her!"

"Yes!"

Staring at Gu Jiao for the past few days, King Ning has gained a lot.

Unknowingly, at the end of the month, King Ning recovered from his injuries and went to the palace to pay his respects to the emperor.

Gu Jiao and the prince are also there.

Gu Jiao came to feel the pulse of the emperor, and the prince came to report to the emperor the progress of the investigation of Xiao Liulang's whereabouts in the past few days.

After such a long time, there was still no news from Xiao Liulang. Both the prince and the emperor began to speculate whether something unexpected happened to Xiao Liulang.

Gu Jiao came to Huaqing Palace more times, the emperor understood that she was also anxious to know Xiao Liulang's whereabouts.

The emperor didn't dare to tell Gu Jiao his guess, for fear that Gu Jiao would be upset and couldn't bear it.

Because of Xiao Liulang's matter, the emperor's heart was heavy, and he was not very happy to see the recovered King Ning.

"My son is fine, and I can go out with my second brother to look for Xiao Xiuzhuan in a while."

The emperor sighed, recovering from his serious injury, he should rest in bed, but the emperor did not reject King Ning's proposal, he really wanted to find Xiao Liulang as soon as possible, even if it was just a corpse.

"By the way, have you caught the assassin who sneaked up on you last time?"

King Ning glanced at Gu Jiao indiscriminately. Gu Jiao had no guilt at all. The corner of King Ning's mouth twitched, and he said to the emperor, "I don't have any for now."

The emperor said coldly: "Continue to investigate, the emperor's feet assassinate the prince, I'm afraid it's against the heavens!"

King Ning said: "This matter has been handed over to the Jingzhao Mansion. I believe there will be news soon."

Gu Jiao's expression remained unchanged, she withdrew her hand to feel the emperor's pulse: "Your Majesty, you have been very angry recently, so you need to eat lightly."

Eunuch Wei said: "Your Majesty can't eat it at all recently! Miss Gu, you can help persuade Your Majesty, the old slave's words will not work!"

Eunuch Wei is really the best God teammate, no one has such a tacit understanding of the lines!

Gu Jiao sighed and said: "Then why not, I will stay for a while to accompany His Majesty to have a meal, and it happens to celebrate His Royal Highness Ning's recovery."

King Ning took a deep look at Gu Jiao.

The emperor didn't notice the undercurrent of the two, so he nodded, "Okay, you two brothers can stay and have dinner too." After a pause, he said, "Call Xiaoqi here too."

Eunuch Wei laughed and said, "Your Highness the Seventh Highness has class today, and he is at the Imperial College."

The emperor patted his forehead amusedly: "I was so busy that I forgot."

Gu Jiao said: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager likes the flower cakes I made very much, and I will make some for Your Majesty."

The emperor smiled and said, "Okay."

Not long after lunch, Gu Jiao's flower cakes came out of the oven. She personally took the steaming flower cakes to the study. The flower cakes were served in delicate small plates, and they were also accompanied by dried flowers and fresh flowers. They looked good. Extremely.

"Your Majesty." Gu Jiao picked up a piece of flower cake and handed it to the emperor, and another piece to the prince.

The emperor knew Gu Jiao's craftsmanship, so he ate it without saying a word.

The prince is a little disgusted, how delicious can a country girl cook?

He glanced at his father, but he still ate it bravely.

With just one sip, his whole body was refreshed.

How is this girl's craftsmanship so good!

King Ning sat far away, and Gu Jiao finally handed it to him.

King Ning didn't move after taking it.

Gu Jiao asked: "Why doesn't His Royal Highness Ning eat it? Is it because I dislike my craftsmanship?"

King Ning smiled: "How come?"

As he said, he picked up the flower cake and tasted it slowly.

"Is it delicious?" Gu Jiao asked.

"It tastes good." Ning Wang said softly.

He said so, but when Gu Jiao turned around, he took out the handkerchief in his hand, and wiped his mouth to spit it out without a trace.

Oh, small tricks!

After lunch, King Ning bowed his hands to the emperor: "Father, it's getting late, and I'm going to find Xiao Xiuzhuan first."

The emperor nodded: "You go."

Although the father is very distressed about his son's body, after all, there is no fear of his life, and finding Xiao Liulang's whereabouts is the top priority right now.

King Ning was already looking for someone, so the crown prince naturally couldn't lag behind, so he also stood up and cupped his hands to the emperor and said: "Father, my son and minister have gone too."

"En. Be careful on your way." The emperor was a little worried that the master who secretly injured King Ning would make a comeback.

"Your Majesty, I'm going back too." Gu Jiao said.

The emperor nodded: "Okay, you can go."

Gu Jiao left Huaqing Palace with a small basket on her back. She first went to Renshou Palace to say goodbye to her aunt, who packed her some snacks from the imperial dining room.

Gu Jiao took some snacks and left the palace. Surprisingly, King Ning was waiting for her at the gate of the palace.

"Doctor Gu, His Highness King Ning is here to invite you." King Ning's coachman came over and said politely to Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao looked sideways at King Ning's carriage, King Ning lifted the curtain of the window, and showed a gentle smile at Gu Jiao: "Doctor Gu doesn't ride in this king's carriage, is it because he is afraid that this king will harm Doctor Gu?"

Gu Jiao didn't say anything, and strode into the carriage.

She is not like an ordinary woman who pays attention to her manners, and her gestures reveal a youthful heroic spirit.

King Ning smiled faintly: "I really admire Doctor Gu's courage."

Gu Jiao found a seat beside King Ning and sat down, and said nonchalantly, "I should say this to King Ning."

"Oh?" King Ning looked at her amusedly, "Just because you were lucky enough to sneak attack me once? That's just because I didn't defend myself. In a real fight, you are no match for me."

Gu Jiao didn't speak.

Ning Wangquan regarded her as acquiescing.

After the carriage traveled for a certain distance, Gu Jiao suddenly said, "His Royal Highness Ning, don't you feel any discomfort?"
