Palm pet

Chapter 79 Jingzhou
I thought that after taking the medicine, she should recover.

But she didn't expect that in the middle of the night, she would start to turn cold and green all over, her face was colorless, and her breath was frighteningly thin.

Gu Chengyu naturally knew that it was because of the abortion pill.

Looking at her pitiful appearance, almost heartbroken, he couldn't help but feel guilty and remorseful.

What he didn't know was that the doctor remembered that the pulse was more than three months old when he came for the first time, and his wife refused to check the pulse again, so he gave the abortion medicine for the corresponding month as a matter of course.

But when the fetus really fell, the doctor knew at a glance that it was clearly a fetus that was not more than a month old.

Although he didn't know why he misread the pulse last time, but he also knew that he had caused a catastrophe, so he dragged his family and fled away in a hurry that day.

-

After coaxing her to take the medicine, Gu Chengyu didn't dare to sleep again.

Just stand aside, warm her up, and watch.

On the way, he poured half a cup of warm ginseng soup for her, and when she regained her complexion, he took a hot handkerchief and wiped her hands again.

Seeing that she was so weak, Gu Chengyu thought, take a rest for a while, and wait for her to finish confinement before he goes to work on the affairs of the court.

Unexpectedly, it was only the next day that the palace issued an emergency call.

Because it is said that the smallpox is particularly ferocious this time, and it has spread from the capital to other places.

However, the two disaster relief funds and medicines allocated by the imperial court were exploited layer by layer by corrupt officials.

In the filth of officials and officials protecting each other, and the court knows nothing about it, the people who suffer are naturally the people.

Fortunately, there are still a few innocent people in the mud, who risked their lives to send impeachment papers and bits and pieces of evidence.

As the saying goes, the achievement of a thousand miles is destroyed by an ant's nest, and this matter soon attracted Xiao Tingyi's attention.

After several rounds of rectification, most of the corrupt officials were finally found out, and the smallpox disease was gradually brought under control.

It is said that Ziwei stars are in opposition, and the sky will not allow fate, which leads to the reappearance of natural disasters that have not been seen for many years.

Everyone knows what Ziweixing means and what these words mean.

Naturally, such rebellious words did not dare to be put on the table, but they were quickly spread through improper channels.

Slowly, through word of mouth, these words were gradually processed into ambiguities about the new emperor's throne, and even mentioned some famous names of the former Shao Wang, the current new emperor killed the king and father, and mutilated brothers and feet.

At the beginning, the government would suppress one or two, but the rumors are as fierce as tigers. After such a disturbance, the words that were only secretly poking at the back became more and more bold. Now, not to mention street jokes, it is teahouses and taverns. Goulan Washe can be heard everywhere.

Things have developed to this stage, it is not good for the government to intervene too much. First, the more the suppression is more obvious, the more obvious it is. Second, too tough methods will inevitably arouse public anger and make those who want to be more rampant.

Xiao Tingyi said that the rumors were strange, and wanted to assign his uncle to find out who was behind the scenes.

Then he said that the only thing he can trust and use now is his uncle, so please ask his uncle to help him.

Gu Chengyu didn't refuse, so he agreed.

Because it was this nephew who united with him when he was asking for posthumous titles for Yun's family a few months ago, it was this nephew who united with him to suppress the dissenting voices of the officials. Personally, he owed Xiao Tingyi a favor.

Yu Gong, he holds a lot of power now, and it is only right for him to come forward to suppress the investigation at such a critical moment.

Yu Li, no matter how high his meritorious status is, Xiao Tingyi can't do without him, and they have to talk about monarchs and ministers first.

This time it seemed that Xiao Tingyi had something to ask of him, but in fact he had no choice at all.

It is said that Gu Chengyu is impulsive and absurd on weekdays, but when it comes to business, he is particularly prudent.

After a thorough investigation, he quickly found some clues.

After further investigation, the evidence points to the remnants of the former British Duke.

Yes.

Half a year ago, she was a female family member who was assigned to the Jiaofang Division.

And their leader is the fourth wife of the British public who escaped from the Jiaofang Division in the chaos as early as March, and her whereabouts are still unknown.

However, Gu Chengyu has always been very skillful, so on the same day he was referred to the Secretary of Jiaofang, and went to the British family to torture and interrogate the remnants of the relatives of the British family. Within half a day, he was convinced: Jingzhou.

Although Gu Chengyu had always acted resolutely and decisively, but this matter went so smoothly, he couldn't help becoming suspicious again.

Let's not talk about how this person escaped the strict guards of Jiaofang Division and escaped smoothly.

Let's talk about a woman who lives in seclusion, relying on her own strength, how can she come up with a strategy.

The more Gu Chengyu thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, so he packed his bags and planned to go check it out.

Before leaving, he hesitated.

Not for anything else, just for the little bean sprouts.

I don't know if the abortion hurt her body during this trip, or if the illnesses that she didn't recover from before got worse. Since the two of them reached an agreement for the time being, she has been ill all day long, becoming more and more depressed and decadent.

Gu Chengyu knew that her appetite was extremely poor now, but what he didn't expect was that during the two days when he was too busy to take care of her, she almost didn't have enough food.

After hearing the letter, Gu Chengyu was angry and distressed, so he stayed specially to supervise her breakfast this morning.

But he barely ate half a bowl of porridge, and if he pressed her to eat more, she would feel nauseated and vomit.

Faced with this situation, how can he rest assured.

After careful consideration, he decided to stay in Beijing Yamen.

He thought that even if he was busy on weekdays, at least he could go back and see her every day.

As for foreign missions, it is considered reliable that Shi Yi has been with him for so many years, and the same is true for entrusting him.

On the same day, Shi Yi went there with his cronies.

As soon as he arrived in Jingzhou, Shi Yi first set up a net with the Jingzhou government and secret guards, waiting for the fourth wife to be arrested on the spot as soon as he showed up.

But he didn't want to set up a scene, but what he caught was a dead body that had already been completely cooled.

Lying alone on a hard bed in a clean farmhouse, there were no signs of stretching or fighting on his body, his face was calm and gentle, and there was nothing else except the half pack of medicine powder left at hand.

Preliminary identification was suicide.

I came here all the time, but it was all in vain, and I was a little unwilling to pick up more or less.

I just want to check and see if I can find some useful information.

It's a coincidence that the case didn't make any progress, but instead, I ran into Nanny Kong who brought her grandson to visit relatives in Jingzhou.

When meeting an old friend in a foreign land, both of them are inevitably a little surprised, and then they inevitably want to exchange pleasantries.

From the conversation and laughter between the two, I learned that her grandson was not suffering from smallpox, but urticaria caused persistent high fever. She also took her grandson to seek medical treatment after returning to her hometown, only to find out that the trouble was caused by an inexperienced village doctor who misdiagnosed The oolong that came out.

After finishing speaking, Nanny Kong hurriedly asked Du Jiaheng how his son's illness was, but he was cured, how is Lord Hou and how is his wife?

After so many things have been squeezed these days, Shi Yi felt uncomfortable. Now that he meets this absolutely trustworthy person, he should talk to each other and give a general account of the tragedy that the Du family suffered. Mrs. Zui's miscarriage.

But after following Gu Chengyu for so many years, he naturally knows what to say and what not to say.

At this time, the wife was pregnant at the wrong month and was given abortion pills by Lord Hou. It also became the case that everyone did not know that the wife was pregnant, so they accidentally miscarried.

When Nanny Kong heard this, she, who was still feeling sorry for the Du family brother, felt even more distressed.

"Blame me, blame me for this matter, if I didn't focus on family matters and neglect my wife, maybe..."

There were tears in her eyes, and every sentence contained tears. Apart from her heartache, she blamed herself and regretted more.

Shi Yi hurriedly said: "This is just an accident. Nanny has already helped Lord Hou enough, so don't worry about yourself."

Nanny Kong just shook her head: "The first three months of pregnancy are the most cautious. I have always collected a lot of Madam's underwear, but if I pay more attention, the young master may..."
