Crown Jewels

Chapter 232 The Drafted Imperial Decree

Gu Baozhu locked the ventilated window of the bedroom, fed the soup and medicine made by Qian Yan to the empress, covered her with the bedding, then extinguished the lamp near the bed, and after tossing all night, she also felt a bit of a headache at this moment, so she simply let it go The beauty fell into a light sleep on the couch, but in a daze she heard the distressed voice coming from outside the bedroom.

Subconsciously looking in the direction of Gu Jun, she saw that the candles in the distance were illuminating her complexion, and her frowning brows were a little restless.

Gu Baozhu got up quickly, pushed away the bedroom door, and there was a cool wind gushing in, she quickly tightened the cloak around her body to get out, then closed the door of the hall tightly to block the cool wind from outside, then raised her chin, taking advantage of the trend Looking towards the source of the sound, he saw Jiang Hong, who was wearing an official robe, kneeling outside the bedroom at the moment, waiting for his eyes to show his authority to the palace official, and refused to leave in the midst of comfort.

"Let me tell you, my lord has something important to report to His Majesty. If the matter is delayed, even if you have ten heads, you won't be able to cut it off!"

As he spoke, Jiang Hong pulled back his robe, and kicked the eunuch who was obstructing him in every possible way. The way of strength directly made Xiao Shunzi curl up on the ground, covering his colic chest, until he saw Gu Shunzi walking out of the dormitory. Baozhu, now with a pale face, he saluted Gu Baozhu with all his strength.

Seeing that Xiao Shun was sweating all over, but did not dare to breathe, Gu Baozhu motioned for him to get up and not let anyone bother him outside the bedroom. This was what she meant. The little eunuch did not forget his mission, but a good one.

"Master Jiang—"

The woman's voice was slightly cool, soaked in the night rain and cold wind, soaked in the cold, and there was still impatience in being disturbed in her voice.

"My aunt is resting in the dormitory, and it's inconvenient to see people now. If Master Jiang is in a hurry, just submit the memorial directly and hand the orb to aunt. There is really no need to lose your demeanor outside the dormitory."

Although Gu Jun hadn't been to the court for a few days, the news of the injury was blocked by Lu Yi very well. Those courtiers who witnessed Li Che stabbing Gu Jun were all held in the side hall by Lu Yi's people at this moment, and other courtiers also thought it was because of With the addition of the sudden death of "Prince Gong" on Longsheng, Gu Jun didn't want to go to court, but it was normal. In order to prevent the people in the court and the public from panic, and make people have dirty thoughts in the gutter, Lu Yi never told the news. release.

Jiang Hong squinted, suppressing the disdainful emotions in his eyes. After all, he still had some scruples about her identity, but besides the news that came from the northwest border at night, his purpose for coming this time was another important purpose, which was Trying to find out what happened to the Empress Gu Jun, at this moment, being blocked by Gu Baozhu outside the bedroom, she was really depressed.

"The county master—"

"This matter is no small matter. The battle report came from the front line. Xia Kingdom raided at night in the northwest border and once again took down a border city where our Yan Kingdom was stationed. The old minister must discuss the countermeasures with His Majesty as soon as possible—"

What Jiang Hong said was impassioned, if Gu Baozhu hadn't suspected him for a long time, he would have been moved by his dedication and diligence.

What's more -

Gu Jun has a high fever repeatedly, and it is not suitable to be stimulated at this time. Whether to tell her aunt about such important matters needs to be considered. .

"Hard work Mr. Jiang, I will report this matter to my aunt later. If you don't have other things to do, Mr. Jiang will step back on his own—"

Seeing Gu Baozhu's reticent appearance this time, Jiang Hong's eyes were slightly cold. He would not retreat no matter what if he didn't see the Empress tonight. Looking worried about the people, but for no reason, he put the hat on Gu Baozhu's head.

"What is the princess doing?"

"It's a matter of course for ministers to visit the king. Today, the situation in Lin'an City is unstable. His Majesty will not go to court after the Long Birthday. However, the old minister wanted to see His Majesty but was obstructed by the princess in every possible way. I'm afraid it's not because the princess is too old. Even my thoughts became complicated, and while I and other courtiers were not paying attention, I wanted to hold His Majesty in order to order them, so I failed His Majesty's cultivation of you."

Jiang Hong's gaze swished like a snake, his words were very blatant, no different from accusing Gu Baozhu of wolfish ambition.

When the two looked at each other, although Jiang Hong avoided it, the complacency in his expression made him look even more hateful.

Seeing Jiang Shan's self-satisfaction hidden in his eyebrows after splashing dirty water, Gu Baozhu narrowed his eyes and suddenly smiled.

Gu Baozhu's red lips overflowed with sarcasm, it's really black and white, all kinds of monsters are coming out!
Faced with these accusations, Gu Baozhu raised the corners of her lips, her expression was frank and without any panic, and her embroidered shoes stepped on the puddles and circled around Jiang Shan who was kneeling on the ground.

"Master Jiang, you might as well use the orb as a mirror and look in the mirror, what kind of thoughts are hidden in Mrs. Jiang's belly?"

Gu Baozhu's gaze was like a torch, as if he could see through the skin, and saw his position lightly everywhere, Jiang Shan was flustered by the look, and quickly recovered his composure, his eyes also squinted, pretending to be puzzled, and said,

"What is the princess saying?"

Never expecting Jiang Hong to admit it, Gu Baozhu raised her lips indifferently, turned around, and her voice was undeniably firm.

"Your Majesty is resting now. I will bring the matter to my aunt. If Mr. Jiang still wants to kneel here, it is best to be quiet and not disturb His Majesty's rest—"

After finishing speaking, Gu Baozhu walked away, with such a high-spirited look, Jiang Hong turned his eyes and looked at the Jinyiwei who was guarding outside the bedroom hall and straddling the embroidered spring knife. Even though he was a little unwilling, he knew that tonight might be hopeless , The tone is wasting time here, it is better to take advantage of the night to discuss this matter with other adults, he does not believe that if the courtiers unite to see Gu Jun, someone will stop him.

Gu Baozhu, who turned around and left, did not enter the dormitory, but went to the side hall to find Qian Yan to get the medicine. Seeing that it was almost time to take the medicine, with Jiang Hong's departure, he did not notice that Jin Yiwei Commander Shi had entered the dormitory.

"His Majesty--"

Lu Yi frowned, brought the warm water in the thermos pot to Gu Jun's lips, and carefully wiped the water stains from her lips. Gu Jun was a little out of energy, and her head was a little dizzy. Thinking of the voice outside the hall just now, she wanted to hold on. As soon as the body raised his elbows, he was unable to let go.

Silently sighed, her body knew it, Gu Jun closed her eyes and heard a weak voice, the high fever in the dark made her a little confused about how many days and nights had passed.

"Lu Yi, how many days has it been since I went to court?"

Seeing that Gu Jun was worried about the court affairs again, Lu Yi frowned, and answered honestly under the empress' urging eyes.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the courtiers have not seen His Majesty for three days!"

Gu Jun's hands were hanging on the quilt, and the dormitory fell into a subtle silence again, the light of the candles flickered, and the faint tone sounded again as if she had made up her mind.

"Lu Yi, draw up an order for me—"

The door of the sleeping hall was opened from the outside, Gu Baozhu was holding a medicine bowl, and the bitterness of the herbs spread into the air, as if it could dispel the coolness of the night wind. Lu Yi looked at the princess of Nanping who walked in, got up decisively, took the pills, and carefully waited for Gu Jun to fall asleep Finally, he signaled Gu Baozhu and himself to leave the dormitory.

"Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu have already rested, and you can also find a side hall to rest for a few hours, so you can leave it to Baozhu and Imperial Physician Qian at ease here."

However, what surprised Gu Baozhu was that Lu Yi shook his head decisively at him, staring blankly at the bright yellow scroll handed over.
