313 Assassination
Because of the hot weather, many girls from school students had heatstrokes for several consecutive days. Gu Jiao was so busy that she didn't touch the ground. She didn't go to the palace to see her aunt for a few days. She didn't know that her aunt fell ill for the time being.
"...Yes, you don't need to take medicine, just drink some water soaked in Houttuynia cordata. It's just a folding ear root. Do you have it at home? If not, go to the medicine boy to get some." Gu Jiao finished the diagnosis and treatment of a female student daughter, and made records, "Next."
The door was pushed open, but Princess Rui, who had not seen him for many days.
Princess Rui did not go to the line this time and waited for half an hour honestly. No wonder she was still pregnant for five months.
"Why are you here?" Gu Jiao asked her to sit down.
Princess Rui's complexion was as rosy as ever. The baby's appearance was really good, but her eyes were a little red and swollen, as if she had just cried.
"Where is it uncomfortable? Show me." Gu Jiao gestured to her to reach out.
Princess Rui shook her head: "It's not me, it's Concubine Jing. I went to see her yesterday, and she was not doing well again..."
Princess Rui said, tears fell down.
The original Princess Rui was not so cute. It was only after she became pregnant that the tear glands became particularly developed. She would be unable to stop crying in small matters. She herself didn't know what was wrong.
Gu Jiao handed her a handkerchief for pregnancy hormones.
Princess Rui wiped her tears and looked at Gu Jiao with red eyes: "When will you finish your work today? Can you follow me to see Concubine Jing after you finish your work?"
Gu Jiao called Dr. Song: "Can a doctor come to the hospital today?"
Dr. Song said: "No, everyone is in the clinic today."
Gu Jiao nodded: "Okay, I'll go out and you can help me watch."
Doctor Song replied: "Yes."
Gu Jiao said again: "There are also medicinal materials, remember to let Xiaojiang pear harvest later."
Dr. Song said: "I can."
After explaining the clinic, Gu Jiao went to the nunnery near Puji Temple with Princess Rui.
On the carriage, Gu Jiao learned that Concubine Jing fell ill because she heard the news that the emperor was assassinated.
The emperor was the son she raised. Concubine Jing had only one daughter, Princess Ning'an, in her life. His Majesty was like her own son. When something happened to him, Concubine Jing was more worried than anyone else.
Princess Rui said: "The Empress Dowager was not so weak in her early years. One winter, the snowstorm was snowing. The temple was too cold. The Empress Dowager broke his body and then fell into the root of the disease. Over the years, the father thought of many ways to regulate the Empress Dowager, but it didn't work. Miss Gu, do you have a way to regulate the Empress Dowager's body?"
Gu Jiao said truthfully: "The Empress Dowager is getting older and focuses on health preservation and treatment as a supplement. There is no immediate effect."
Princess Rui is lost.
The two entered the temple.
Concubine Jing was lying on the hospital bed in the Zen room. She had just fallen asleep and the smell of peaceful fragrance in the room.
The personal nanny dressed in a master dressed in a teacher saw the two of them and bowed: "Princess Rui, Miss Gu."
While extinguishing the Anshen Incense in the stove, Madam Cai opened the window to ventilate so that the incense would not scent the pregnant Princess Rui.
Princess Rui looked at Concubine Jing's pale face and said, "Madam Cai, why does the Concubine seem to be weaker than yesterday?"
Madam Cai sighed, "The Empress of the Concubine was worried about Your Majesty, she was restless and could not sleep at night. From yesterday to today, I haven't had any rice in it... Seeing that it's so amazing, I quietly lit a little calming fragrance."
Princess Rui felt very distressed.
Princess Rui is from the lineage of King Ning, and King Ning is in the same camp with Queen Mother Zhuang. The emperor tried his best to pull Queen Mother Zhuang off the stage and helped Queen Mother Jing to the position of Queen Mother. However, this seemed to be just a game between the emperor and Queen Mother Zhuang and did not affect others.
The relationship between King Rui and Concubine Jing is quite good.
Madam Cai brought a stool and asked the two to sit down.
Gu Jiao sat down beside the bed to take her pulse for Concubine Jing.
Concubine Jing was not sleeping soundly, and as soon as Gu Jiao took her pulse, she opened her eyes.
She saw that it was Gu Jiao, and a smile appeared on her pale face: "Miss Gu is here." She looked at Princess Rui with red eyes and said helplessly, "Everyone said I'm fine, why have you been troubled again? She also troubled Miss Gu? Is it okay to have a baby in the mansion? I have to send a letter to King Rui and ask him to take care of you."
Princess Rui choked and said, "Your Highness will not let me come. Your Highness is more worried about your body than me."
"Oh, you guys..." Concubine Jing shook her head, as if she didn't know what to say.
Gu Jiao finished her pulse for Concubine Jing.
Concubine Jing looked at Gu Jiao and said, "I'm fine, it's just that the weather is too hot. It's like this every summer. Miss Gu doesn't have to worry."
Judging from the pulse, Concubine Jing is indeed not a serious illness, but a stagnant heart, a loss of blood and energy, and a weak body.
"You can't stop eating." Gu Jiao said.
Madam Cai hurriedly said, "Listen, listen, Miss Gu says so, don't you eat?"
Concubine Jing smiled and said, "It's hot, I can't eat it."
Princess Rui said, "Empress, Your Majesty has returned to the palace."
Concubine Jing was stunned: "Take it serious?"
Princess Rui said, "If you don't believe me, Miss Gu will not lie."
Concubine Jing's expectant eyes fell on Gu Jiao's face.
Gu Jiao nodded: "Your Majesty has returned to the palace."
Concubine Jing asked nervously, "Then his body... isn't he safe? I heard that he was assassinated and injured, but I don't know how serious it is..."
Gu Jiao said truthfully: "I'm cured, and your Majesty's dragon body is healthy."
Concubine Jing breathed a sigh of relief: "Amitabha, how good it is."
"Now you finally have an appetite? I'll have someone to go to some vegetarian dishes." Madam Cai smiled happily and turned to Gu Jiao and Princess Rui and said, "If Princess Rui and Girl Gu don't dislike each other, stay and accompany the Queen Mother to have a meal before leaving. I'm afraid you will leave like this, and the Queen Mother will stop eating again."
Concubine Jing angrily glanced at Madam Cai: "Where are the children used to eating the dishes in the temple?"
"I'm used to eating it! Miss Gu?" Princess Rui squeezed at Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiao has no objection.
She hadn't eaten ancient vegetarian dishes yet, so she was curious.
Facts have proved that Gu Jiao overestimated the cooking skills of the temple. Xiao Jingkong was basically a vegetarian at home. However, whether Gu Jiao or the old sacrificial wine, the vegetarian dishes he made were not only diverse, with all colors, fragrance and taste, but also full of childlike fun.
Gu Jiao looked at a bowl of boiled tofu in front of her, boiled bean sprouts in clean water, and mixed with cucumbers with green onions... She was not picky about food and thought that this meal was really too vegetarian...
Maybe she really felt relieved. Concubine Jing had a good appetite. She ate half a bowl of rice and a little vegetarian dishes, and drank a bowl of tofu soup.
Princess Rui really couldn't get used to it. She grew up with rich clothes and food. Eating this kind of dish is similar to eating soil. After eating a few chopsticks, she could no longer eat it.
Concubine Jing laughed at her: "Just say you can't get used to it."
Princess Rui cleared her throat: "I, I'm pregnant and have a bad appetite, but it's not that I can't get used to it."
Concubine Jing smiled.
After dinner, Princess Rui talked with Concubine Jing for a while. Concubine Jing was worried that it was too late and urged her and Gu Jiao to get on the carriage back to Beijing.
On the carriage, Princess Rui said with heartache: "The Concubine is so bitter. She has eaten such a bad meal over the years..."
"It's not too unpalatable," Gu Jiao said.
Princess Rui said sadly: "Isn't that bad? So vegetarian... so slight taste... she is so pitiful... she is the most pitiful woman of the late emperor..."
Gu Jiao paused and said, "Isn't the most pitiful queen?"
Princess Rui asked strangely: "What's the pity about the Empress Dowager? She is the lord of the six palaces and the overlord of the court. She is powerful and calls for the wind and rain. She is more glorious than her father. She has nothing to do with the pity."
Although Princess Rui is from the Ning lineage, from the perspective of her granddaughter-in-law, she prefers the gentle and kind Concubine Jing. Queen Mother Zhuang is too strong, has a cruel and inhumane method, so Princess Rui dare not get along with her at all.
Still being at the place where Concubine Jing is free.
But my aunt... is the loneliest person.
Gu Jiao did not argue with Princess Rui. Everyone had their own ideas and did not have to impose their will on others.
She just needs to care for her aunt more.
Together with the other person's portion, those many portions are loved by my aunt.
The carriage walked slowly, and Princess Rui gradually became sleepy, her little head tilted to Gu Jiao's shoulders, and she fell asleep.
Gu Jiao was also a little sleepy.
She closed her eyes slightly, and was about to sleep for a moment, suddenly her ears moved and she heard an extremely secret and extremely rapid sound of breaking through the air.
She suddenly opened her eyes, raised her hand, reached to Princess Rui, and grabbed a cold arrow shot in!
Princess Rui was awakened by the arrow and her body shook: "What's wrong?"
She opened her eyes and saw a metal arrow with a cold light!
She looked at Gu Jiao's hand who grabbed the arrow again, and cold sweat suddenly emerged.
If Gu Jiao hadn't reacted quickly, then she would have...
Her face turned pale: "Miss Gu..."
Gu Jiao's eyes chilled, she grabbed Princess Rui's head with one hand, pressed her into her arms and turned sideways!
Swallowing!
Three arrows flew past her long hair and nailed to the wall of the car they were just leaning against!
Gu Jiao looked at the car window that had broken several holes coldly, and the arrow in her hand flew out!
Chapter completed!
