Chapter 221
The Queen Mother smiled leisurely after hearing Cui Zhu's words.

"It's Ai's family's trick, Gu Qingcheng is just a little girl, nothing to be afraid of."

The queen mother played with the white jade box in her hand, "Just use it as the imperial doctor said, the left and right are not harmful things, and Gu Qingcheng, the Ai family, doesn't have the guts to measure it."

However, it was ready in more than half an hour. The water for washing, the Queen Mother looked at the steaming water on a hot day, frowned tightly, and was reluctant to go down.

But for so many days, she has been tortured so weakly by the soreness and pain in her body, she finally gritted her teeth and walked down.

It's just that I hate Gu Qingcheng even more in my heart.

Ten days later, the Empress Dowager finally came out of the Compassionate Ning Palace.

Looking at the complexion on the face, it seems to be much better, but the whole person has lost a lot of weight, but it doesn't look haggard, and the whole person seems to be much younger.

But Cuizhu and the little girls around her became more and more careful in serving them.

I don't know what the pills given by the imperial concubine are for.

Every time the empress dowager took the medicine bath, she would feel unbearable pain, and almost every time she died, the hair and body did not know whether it was the cold sweat from the pain, or the water splashed during the medicine bath.

So now the Empress Dowager is recovering, even more comfortable than before, but when she thinks of her embarrassing appearance during the medicinal bath, the Empress Dowager's whole face begins to collapse.

Gu Qingcheng has been in the palace these days, inquiring about news outside the palace, and not inquiring about anything else, just to get to know He Yincheng.

Because sometimes some rumors become irrelevant as they spread.

Gu Qingcheng understood the truth that three people become tigers, and one mouth makes gold. She didn't want to kill one person with one blow.

But the more I checked, the more frightened I became.

He Yincheng really lives up to his name, but the word "Yin" probably needs to be written differently. "Yin" or "lewd" are perfect portrayals of He Yincheng.

Relying on the power behind him to lend usury outside, even if it is usually on the market, compared to the usury He Yincheng has in hand, it is simply a conscientious merchant.

He runs various casinos with the capital as the center, and he always deliberately lures gamblers to lose their fortunes. Afterwards, those gamblers want to stand up again, but they have no money. They have no choice but to succumb to He Yincheng's lust .

Casinos, loan sharks, brothels...

Gu Qingcheng couldn't help sneering when he saw the news he had inquired about.

This has almost become an industrial chain.

The people in the casino are designed to go bankrupt. If they want to turn around, they borrow usury. If they can't repay the debt, they push out their own daughters. He wanted to redeem himself, but the amount of money he paid for redeeming himself had already multiplied dozens or even hundreds of times.

He Yincheng was alone, but just because he was the heir of the minister of the Ministry of Industry, he had caused countless families to be ruined and displaced.

But those victims turned into rats crossing the street, and everyone shouted and beat them everywhere.

He Yincheng, the instigator, took the money that the victims exchanged for their wealth and lives, and committed crimes and squandered everywhere.

It is said that there are gods three feet above the head. If the gods have spirits in the sky, I am afraid that He Yincheng will not be able to see what he looks like.

"The empress dowager is too much, how can she propose such a marriage to the elder girl?"

Hua Yao could also read, so he followed along and finished reading. Suddenly, he couldn't help being filled with righteous indignation.

"Where does he want to give Eldest Sister a date for marriage? It's just that he wants to take advantage of your master and me."

As Gu Qingcheng spoke, the coldness between his eyebrows became more and more obvious, as if he lived on the top of a snow-capped mountain, and he could hardly see his popularity.

"I remember that the Empress Dowager's natal family has a niece who has always been very close to the Empress Dowager." Gu Qingcheng looked extremely indifferent: "I wonder if the Empress Dowager's niece is married?"

"Are you talking about the prostitute of the Earl of Zhongren's mansion?" Hua Yao thought for a while in his mind: "That girl Tan, among the noble girls in the capital, is also considered to be top-notch in appearance, but although he often enters Palace accompanied the Queen Mother, but there was no rumor that she was engaged to any son."

"Of course they won't be engaged. If I am the queen mother, I also want my niece and daughter, so that I can get the moon first."

As Gu Qingcheng said, a wicked smile curled up on the corner of his mouth: "It's a pity that I originally set my heart on Mingyue, but Mingyue shines on the ditch. The emperor would not want the niece of the empress dowager's natal family."

"But you also said that Miss Tan's family is a top-notch figure among the noble ladies in the capital. If she is buried in a lonely boudoir like this, how much excitement will be missed."

Hua Yao watched with a bit of trepidation. In the past, everyone in my family said that she was arrogant and domineering, willful and high-profile.

But now that he saw his young lady like this, he felt even more frightened for no reason.

In the past, this lady was happy and angry, who would make her unhappy?Will return on the spot.

But now the young lady always has a smile on her face, but when she turns around, there is no smile. This kind of contrast makes people feel trembling.

"Why don't you talk? Are you scared by me?"

Gu Qingcheng was keenly aware of the emotion of the girl beside him, turned around and smiled slightly.

"You have served your lady for so many years, you don't take it seriously, do you think your lady is kind and kind?"

Gu Qingcheng smiled but not a smile: "In the past, in the Taifu's mansion, I was pampered by my father above me and my sister spoiled me below, so I could naturally be happy and angry as I wished, but now the Forbidden City seems to be full of prosperity, but in fact it is full of traps. If I still like It’s as rampant as before, I’m afraid disaster will be imminent when I wake up.”

"Besides, ever since I woke up from a serious illness, all I think about is protecting the people around me, protecting my father, sister, and you."

"If the Empress Dowager says she wants to take me under the knife, then I don't mind fighting her casually with open flames. It's just a bruise and a loss of face."

The brisk and delicate voice slowly lowered, faintly tinged with indifference.

"But the dragon has reverse scales, and if you touch it, you will die. Since he wants to blackmail me with the elder sister's marriage, then I will see what kind of bad man his niece can marry."

Looking at Gu Qingcheng's appearance, Hua Yao felt relieved, but... "Miss, didn't you say before that you can't involve innocent people at will if you don't treat people right?"
