The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 566: Chapter 566

Three seconds after Anjun Wang died socially in situ, Xiao Heng asked Yu Ya'er to send over a bottle of golden sore medicine.

King An wants to die even more...

Gu Jiao treated Mo Qianxue and Hua Xiyao's injuries in the medical center, and took a small medicine box back to Bishui Hutong.

Hua Xiyao was originally next door to Mo Qianxue, but in order to better monitor Hua Xiyao, Mo Qianxue directly asked Gu Jiao to bring them into the same room.

It's not Gu Jiao's house.

Mo Qianxue didn't want anyone else to live in Gu Jiao's house.

Hua Xiyao was lying on the small bed, her cartilage loosened, and she couldn't help herself, so she could only stare coldly at Mo Qianxue on the big bed: "Mo Qianxue, you traitor!"

Mo Qianxue didn't speak, she sat on the head of the bed, leaning against the soft pillow, silently knitting the red rope she learned from Xiao Jiangli.

Hua Xiyao hehe said: "What? Do you dare to do it but not admit it? The master shouldn't trust you so much! It was the master who picked you up! In the end, you betrayed the young master!"

Mo Qianxue stopped the red rope in her hand, glanced at her, and said, "Hua Xiyao, what do you know?"

Hua Xiyao said coldly: "Then tell me, what do I not know? Or did I say something wrong?"

Mo Qianxue paused: "You did nothing wrong, yes, I betrayed the young master."

Admitting some things would be a relief. She used to be unwilling to accept the fact that she had betrayed the young master, but at this point, there was really nothing to refute.

She did not carry out the young master's order, and in the eyes of everyone, she betrayed the young master.

No one thought about it, she could actually jump out to testify against the young master, she didn't do that, she couldn't kill Gu Jiao, she chose to run away or die by herself, but she couldn't push the young master to the ambush stage either, That was her master after all.

Mo Qianxue said softly: "Hua Xiyao, do you know? I almost died that night. In order to win Gu Jiao's trust, the young master ordered someone to ruthlessly kill me. I really almost died."

Hua Xiyao smiled sarcastically: "Aren't you well now? The young master is sure that Miaoshoutang can cure you."

Mo Qianxue shook her head: "You don't understand, if she hadn't given me her blood, no matter how good her medical skills are, she wouldn't be able to recover."

Hua Xiyao said indifferently, "It's just a matter of giving up a few drops of blood!"

Hua Xiyao is not a doctor, so she doesn't understand that not everyone's blood type can be transfused with each other, and obviously the young master of Xianleju doesn't know that either, so the young master really didn't care about her life back then.

Mo Qianxue said lightly, "I'm too lazy to tell you."

Women are probably like this,

It would be fine to have a quick quarrel, but half of this kind of quarrel is like punching a few balls of cotton.

Hua Xiyao said angrily: "Hmph, our lives belong to the young master, so what if we die for the young master? You are greedy for life and afraid of death!"

Mo Qianxue took a deep breath, got rid of distracting thoughts, and continued weaving the red rope in her hand.

Gu Jiao knew that she was an important witness, but Gu Jiao never forced her to testify against the young master, and she didn't even mention this request.

If it were the young master who knew that she had a chance to testify against Gu Jiao, would the young master be concerned about whether she was willing or not, and would it be embarrassing?

Certainly not.

Like Hua Xiyao, she used to believe that the whole meaning of life is to dedicate herself to the master, she is not an independent individual, she is just a vassal of the master.

Until I met Gu Jiao.

How could Hua Xiyao understand? What she doesn't get herself, she doesn't want others to get it, and she doesn't believe that others can get it.

After that, no matter how Hua Xiyao provoked Mo Qianxue, Mo Qianxue would go in one ear and out the other, making Hua Xiyao dizzy with anger.

There have been a lot of cases in the capital recently, and they have been repeatedly reversed. First, Xianleju colluded with the royal princess, but it was revealed that the culprit behind the scenes was the queen mother. The emperor wanted to risk the world's disgrace to deal with the queen mother, but who knew that the queen mother disappeared again?

As the empress dowager's minion, Xing Shangshu was imprisoned in Dali Temple. Li Shilang reported meritorious deeds and temporarily replaced Xing Shangshu's position, only temporarily. To officially become Shangshu, the emperor had to come forward to close the case, issue an order, and a series of procedures.

The dynasty was in turmoil and the people were uneasy.

Taifu Zhuang was also called sick.

The court memorials piled up like a mountain, and the pressure of the cabinet was all backlogged on Yuan Shoufu's shoulders alone.

The two secondary assistants are Taifu Zhuang's confidantes. This time when something happened, the performance of the two of them was very negative. Fortunately, with Yuan Shoufu's means, they can still hold back.

It's just that it was a bit hard to press, and Yuan Shoufu had the idea of ​​establishing Shaofu for the first time.

Under normal circumstances, the cabinet does not establish a junior assistant. After the first assistant leaves office, one of the two second assistants will be selected to become the new first assistant.

Only when two secondary assistants are not enough will the post of junior assistant be added.

The interests of Shaofu are in conflict with that of the second assistant and the powerful chain of interests behind the second assistant, because they are often strongly opposed by the cabinet ministers, but it is indeed a new way of change, so it has won the support of the emperor .

The monarch and his ministers competed with each other, and finally reached a delicate balance-agreed to set up a young assistant, but there are many restrictions on the position of a young assistant. First, the age of the young assistant must not exceed twenty; , Those who have made great contributions to this dynasty, or those who need at least two years of experience as a Hanlin official.

These conditions are so harsh that no one has ever met them.

No, not without it.

The Zhuang family, Zhuang Yuheng, was 20 years old. He was born as a Jinshi in two rankings. He was ranked second in the new division.

But one, he is a dealer; two, in fact, Yuan Shoufu has another candidate he favors in his heart.

"Unfortunately, the conditions were not met." Yuan Shoufu sighed regretfully.

...

Empress Xiao's two most troublesome things recently are the emperor's illness and the whereabouts of Empress Dowager Zhuang.

The emperor was injured in the head, and the imperial doctor couldn't tell when the emperor would wake up. As for the whereabouts of the Empress Dowager Zhuang, there was no progress.

There are checkpoints set up at the city gate, how high is the city wall, and how high is the wall of Renshou Palace? Empress Xiao did not believe that Queen Mother Zhuang had the ability to fly out of the imperial city, so Queen Mother Zhuang must still be in the city.

Empress Xiao ordered Commander Fu to intensify the search and arrest.

In the past few days, apart from staying with the emperor in Huaqing Palace, Princess Ning An also went to Kunning Palace to greet Empress Xiao.

What she did was not surprising to everyone. One of her two backers in the palace had gone, and the only remaining emperor was in a coma. She couldn't curtly curry favor with Empress Xiao. How could she gain a foothold in the palace in the future?

And in the past few days, her son Huangfuxian never came out to make trouble again.

It's really time-conscious.

In the afternoon, Princess Ning'an went to Queen Xiao's Kunning Palace again.

Empress Xiao was checking Qin Chuyu's homework in the Nuan Pavilion. Qin Chuyu stumbled and was absent-minded, and Empress Xiao had a headache for a while.

"Can you concentrate a little bit?"

"I want to see my father..." Qin Chuyu said aggrievedly.

"Didn't I take you to see it already?"

Qin Chuyu is the emperor's own son, how could Empress Xiao not take him to visit the emperor? The prince also took him there. The prince is an adult, no matter how sad he is, he just wiped his tears secretly. Qin Chuyu rushed over and howled like ghosts and wolves. If he didn't know it, he thought his father had passed away, and he was mourning for his father. ?

Empress Xiao didn't dare to take him there anymore.

There was a little eunuch poking his head at the door, Eunuch Su went over to ask him a few words, and came back to report: "Queen, Princess Ning'an is here."

Empress Xiao frowned: "Take His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince to the study, let him memorize it carefully, and I will check it later."

"Yes." Eunuch Su took Qin Chuyu's hand and went to the study.

Princess Ning'an stepped inside.

During the days of returning to the palace to recuperate, the well-clothed and well-fed people no longer suffered as much as they did during the frontier fortress. Princess Ning'an's face turned pale, and her hands became much more tender.

"How is your injury?" Empress Xiao asked, winking at the little maid, who moved a stool and placed it under Empress Xiao.

Princess Ning An looked at her right arm, and said with a smile: "It's okay, thank you sister-in-law for remembering."

"Sit down." Empress Xiao said.

Princess Ning An sat down slowly.

The little maid served hot tea.

Princess Ning An took the teacup with her left hand, took a sip lightly, and asked innocently, "Sister-in-law, is there any news about your mother?"

The original friendship between Princess Ning'an and Empress Xiao was not bad, it was because they hadn't seen each other for many years, and Huang Fuxian always bullied Qin Chuyu, which made Empress Xiao criticize Princess Ning'an quite a bit.

Now that Princess Ning'an has done a good job in saving her, and she treats her respectfully and obediently, and Princess Ning'an is on His Majesty's side, this makes Empress Xiao and Princess Ning'an's unhappiness dissipate a lot.

Empress Xiao shook her head and said, "Not yet."

Princess Ning'an paused, and said: "Sister-in-law, there is something I don't know whether to say or not."

Empress Xiao said, "Say it."

Princess Ning'an said in a low voice: "A few days before the incident, I met Mr. Xiao in the study of the empress. He came for the case of Xianleju."

Empress Xiao frowned.

Princess Ning An continued: "I have no doubts about Lord Xiao's intentions, but the Empress Mother has a very close relationship with Lord Xiao, will it be..."

Empress Xiao's eyes sank: "Could it be something? Are you suspecting that Xiao Liulang is related to the assassination of His Majesty, or that Xiao Liulang is harboring Queen Mother Zhuang?"

A look of astonishment flashed across Princess Ning'an's eyes.

Empress Xiao's affection for Princess Ning'an accumulated over the past few days was gone: "Xiao Liulang is the champion of the new discipline selected by His Majesty. He is loyal to His Majesty, and he will never collude with the Queen Mother to assassinate His Majesty!"

What are you kidding?

Your Majesty is Ah Heng's real uncle and uncle!

A-Heng will not harm His Majesty if he harms anyone!

Princess Ning'an lowered her eyes: "Sister-in-law, don't get excited. I'm too worried about the emperor. I hope that I can find my mother as soon as possible. After all, she hurt me a lot. I hope I can persuade her to return to the right place."

Empress Xiao said coldly: "Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with Xiao Liulang! I don't allow anyone to insinuate and slander him! Don't mention this kind of thing in the future, otherwise I won't be polite to you!"

Princess Ning'an looked at the tea in the cup, her tone was timid, but her eyes were calm: "Ning'an will remember."

Empress Xiao pressed her painful temple, stretched out her hand to pick up the tea on the table.

Bring tea to see off guests.

Princess Ning An tactfully handed the tea to the little maid at the side, stood up and bowed to Empress Xiao, and said: "Sister-in-law, Ning An is going to visit the emperor first, and I will come back tomorrow to greet my sister-in-law."

"Yes." Empress Xiao responded lightly.

Princess Ning'an was about to turn around, as if she had thought of something, she said: "By the way, sister-in-law, the servants who served Xian'er at the frontier fortress have arrived. The army was in a hurry, and they had to say goodbye to their families, so they were a few days late Let's go. I wonder if we can let them continue to serve Xian'er?"

Empress Xiao said casually, "Arrange it yourself."

It's just a few servants, just go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to register and that's it.

She would not embarrass their mother and son in such a trivial matter.

Princess Ning'an glanced at the aloof Empress Xiao, but Empress Xiao didn't look at her directly again.

Princess Ning'an lowered her eyes, bowed to leave, and left Kunning Palace.

Surprisingly, on the way to Huaqing Palace, she ran into Qin Chuyu who sneaked out.

Because he sneaked out, Qin Chuyu was the only one.

Princess Ning'an narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at him, Empress Xiao's arrogance flashed in her mind, she curled her lips coldly, and walked towards Qin Chuyu: "Xiaoqi, what are you doing?"

"Aunt Ning'an." Qin Chuyu greeted her.

Although Huangfu Xian was annoying, Ning An never bullied Qin Chuyu.

Princess Ning An smiled and said, "Did you sneak out?"

Qin Chuyu said aggrievedly: "Well, they don't allow me to come and see my father."

Princess Ning An asked again: "Did anyone see you on the road?"

Qin Chuyu shook his head like a rattle: "No! I'm very careful!"

Princess Ning An's smile deepened: "Are you sure?"

"En!" Qin Chuyu nodded, very sure!

Princess Ning'an raised her hand and gently touched Qin Chuyu's head, and said softly, "Xiao Qi is such a powerful prince, and no one has discovered this. It seems that no one knows that you have been here."

Qin Chuyu looked at her smiling smile, and for some reason, his heart trembled: "Auntie, why do you smile so strangely? I'm so scared."

Princess Ning'an pinched his chubby face: "Don't be afraid, Auntie will take you to a place."

Qin Chuyu resolutely refused: "I won't go! I want to see my father!"

Princess Ning An said softly: "On the way to meet your royal father."

Qin Chuyu thought for a while: "Well...that's fine."

Princess Ning'an took Qin Chuyu's chubby hand, and dragged him towards the pond expressionlessly.

The pond in the palace is not as deep as the Taiye pond, but it can drown people.

Qin Chuyu became more and more confused as he walked: "This is not the way to the palace."

"This is a shortcut." Princess Ning'an stopped on the edge of the pond, "Do you see anything over there?"

"what?"

Qin Chuyu took a step forward.

Princess Ning'an looked at his back for a moment, stretched out her hand coldly, and pushed it violently!

"Mother!"

A demonic voice suddenly sounded not far away.

The owner of the voice turned into ashes, Qin Chuyu, also knew it!

It's Huangfuxian!

That nasty little cousin!

Ahhh!

Qin Chuyu's hair exploded, and the fear of being bullied welled up in his heart.

He almost instinctively resorted to his own unique secrets - peerless running skills!

call out!

Qin Chuyu is out of the blue!

Princess Ning'an didn't expect the little fat man in front of her to run away. She wanted to take back her hand and it was too late. She pushed away, and suddenly fell forward, and fell into the icy lake with a plop——
