The moon is bright and the night is still young

Chapter 15

"Well, what did the doctor say about this box of ointment?" Gao Qi drank it leisurely while holding the medicine bowl, his body recovered and his complexion became much healthier, "This ointment is mixed with a lot of sunflower, If it is applied on the skin for a long time, women will not be able to conceive, and pregnant women are prone to miscarriage." Mu Xiwen looked at the soothing ointment in his hand, and threw it on the table with disdain. "My elder brother is really careful. He really wants to do everything in detail. Even if he knows that I am already sick and can't get off the ground, he still has to prevent the one-ten-thousandth probability that the imperial concubine will conceive an heir." Gao Qi sneered, "Chenqie Although the ointment is suspicious, the purpose is not mainly the ingredients of the ointment.”

Mu Xiwen stepped forward and pointed to the imprint that looked like a vine tree on the ointment box. "I know this imprint. This is the imprint of the Hengyuan store run by Gao Wei. The Hengyuan store collects all kinds of rare things in the world. As long as you enter the store, you will have this imprint on it, so that you can transfer it out of the store." "Gao Yanzong He said that this ointment was originally from another country, and he got it from Gao Wei, and the mark on the box indicated that this soothing ointment was from Hengyuan Store, and Gao Yanzong had frequent private contacts with Gao Wei. ""It's really strange. The monarch is old, and the situation in the palace is clear at a glance. At this time, both the queen and the noble concubine are still calm on the surface. Although the queen and the noble concubine have given birth to imperial heirs, the queen is already old. After being spoiled for many years, Gao Wei is not much inferior to Gao Yanzong except that he is a bit of a reckless man. It stands to reason that the two sides should have been fighting openly and secretly, so how could they have close contacts in private." Shang Glory is willing to serve as a stepping stone for others. Weaknesses will be exposed sooner or later, Your Highness, don't worry." Gao Qi looked at Mu Xiwen who was sitting by the window with complicated eyes as if he was thinking about something, but he still didn't say anything and hummed in a low voice.

Mu Xiwen sent a letter to Mu's mansion with a pigeon, explaining the reason in general, and asked General Mu to select the best manpower and send it to investigate Gao Wei's Hengyuan store.

It has been a long time since I got the reply, General Mu informed Mu Xiwen that someone had broken into the store, and there seemed to be clues inside, so Mu Xiwen was relieved to wait for the follow-up news.Mu Xiwen was very relieved of his father's actions, and it was rare for him to be free enough to take good care of Gao Qi.Gao Qi's life began to get on the right track. He took medicine on time every day, soaked in medicinal baths, and took a walk in the warm sun in the afternoon. Mu Xiwen often took out his Kong Ling long whip to exercise in the courtyard.Gao Qi often stood quietly not far away, looking at Mu Xiwen who was waving a long whip in a heroic manner. Mu Xiwen, who was waving a whip, had a unique charm, a free and easy way that women in the harem never had. conspicuous.

It didn't take long for the days to calm down. One night, shortly after Mu Xiwen and Gao Qi had dinner, the attendants informed Chen Ning Palace that a maid had come, saying that Concubine Qi was obsessed with cooking cakes recently, and she made some new cakes to invite the third concubine to come. taste. "Only me?" The attendant thought for a while and said, "Looks like the queen and a few concubines were also invited." Mu Xiwen and Gao Qi looked at each other, and Gao Qi smiled and said, "It's the hour, and you're still invited The noble concubine is so elegant." Mu Xiwen straightened her hair, "Tell her, I will go right away." The attendant bowed and then retreated, Gao Qi took Mu Xiwen's hand and frowned slightly: "You I shouldn't go hastily, I know who the imperial concubine is best, I'm afraid this invitation is a fraud." Seeing Gao Qi's nervous expression, Mu Xiwen felt warm in his heart, patted his hand gently and said: "Don't worry, she Since she insists on going there, she must have her own plan, if she doesn't go, there will definitely be other things to come to her in the future." Gao Qi thought for a while and found it reasonable, so he hurried to the shelf On the side, he took the long whip and handed it to her, "Hide this on your body, if there is danger, you can use it for self-defense." Mu Xiwen was very moved, took the whip, stretched out his hand to pinch Gao Qi's face, and said with a smile: " Don't worry, Your Highness, the concubine will return safely."
