Spring Girl's Notes

Chapter 464 Half Truth, Half False

In a blink of an eye, it was the first day of August.

The election of the Kings Pavilion also had results.

Yuan Xun was not one of the three consorts to be selected.

Gu Jinzhi found out the news, and the next day, he immediately went to the palace and gave the medicine to Empress Tan.She even sent a lot more.

She didn't know how Empress Tan did it.

Gu Jinzhi didn't ask either.

Seeing the medicine sent by Gu Jinzhi and smelling the familiar smell, Empress Tan almost wept with joy.During the whole day on the first day of August, she used the amount for three days, and was immersed in the wishful ointment and couldn't extricate herself.

Gu Jinzhi didn't know about this.

She went to the palace to deliver medicine to Empress Tan, and also went to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager asked her: "Have you seen Concubine De?"

She knew Gu Jinzhi's purpose of entering the palace.

Gu Jinzhi shook his head, and said: "First come to pay respects to the queen mother, and then go to sit with the concubine de concubine."

The Queen Mother nodded.

Then, she gave Aunt Cheng a wink and asked Aunt Cheng to bring out all the attendants, leaving only Gu Jinzhi to speak in the inner hall.

The Empress Dowager's expression changed from the previous gentle and kind, and she looked at Gu Jinzhi with sharp eyes: "Xiao Qi, what method did you use on the Empress? Aijia asked you today, don't lie to Aijia. If you have half The words are nonsense, once Aijia is found out, you will have good fruit to eat..."

Gu Jinzhi glanced at the queen mother.

She paused, bit her lower lip lightly with her white teeth, revealing deep tooth marks.

She did not answer, and the queen mother waited silently.

Time is as still as still water, wandering through the inner hall without a trace.

finally.Gu Jinzhi took up his position lightly, walked up to the Empress Dowager's couch, knelt down with her big belly out, and said, "My Empress, from the first time we met, I knew that you loved me. We have a destiny. All these years, you have been my mother." You are like a daughter, I know it well, and I am very grateful to you."

The Empress Dowager narrowed her sharp eyes slightly.

She seemed to want to help Gu Jinzhi up.

Then, her hand retracted again.

"Get up and talk." The queen mother was still cold.said, "What are you doing kneeling?"

Hearing this, Gu Jinzhi got up obediently.

She didn't wait for the queen mother to speak, she sat next to the queen mother and looked at the queen mother earnestly.

When the queen mother was looked at by her like this, her heart softened half at first.

"Mother, I didn't use any means against the queen..." Gu Jinzhi sat next to the queen mother and said.

The queen mother's anger rushed up again.

This is lying to your face.

The queen mother was sullen, but she didn't lose her temper.

"...It's just my medicine. Taking it can indeed strengthen your body. But if you don't take it, you will feel very uncomfortable." Gu Jinzhi continued.

The queen mother was stunned.

She thought of the queen's crazy appearance, and beat the palace servants until her nose was black and her face was swollen.

If you only listen to Gu Jinzhi's words.The Queen Mother didn't quite believe it.

But thinking of the queen's appearance, the queen mother knew it well.Gu Jinzhi [-]% did not lie.

"Why do people feel uncomfortable?" The Queen Mother finally spoke and asked Gu Jinzhi.

Gu Jinzhi said: "Just... take it, and I can't leave it anymore. The empress has taken my medicine, and she can't leave me for the rest of her life."

The queen mother only felt a chill down her back.

She looked at Gu Jinzhi with an extremely strange gaze.

Since this medicine is inseparable, it means that Gu Jinzhi can manipulate the queen at will.

No wonder the queen is willing to do things for the third princess.Torn faces with the prince, and even detained all the prince's wives and concubines in Kunning Palace.

this is too scary.

"You... who else have you given this medicine to?" The queen mother thought of herself.

She always takes Gu's medicine.

She treats Gu Jinzhi.There is no defense at all.

Could it be that Gu Jinzhi also used tricks on her?

But when she didn't take the medicine, the queen mother didn't feel uncomfortable. She didn't go crazy like the queen, so the queen mother knew that she was thinking too much.

Although Gu Jinzhi used tricks against the queen, he was sincere towards the queen mother.

The Queen Mother is sure of this.

"Only the Empress..." Gu Jinzhi said, "This medicine came from the Western Regions, and I got it by accident. It is extremely precious. I am reluctant to use it for other people."

The queen mother looked at Gu Jinzhi again.

"Is that true?" she asked.

Gu Jinzhi nodded, looked up at the Queen Mother: "Seriously."

There was another silence in the inner hall.

The Empress Dowager's expression was unpredictable.

Gu Jinzhi didn't know what the Queen Mother was thinking.

She was sitting upright, not daring to make any movement.

"Why do you only give this medicine to the queen?" the queen mother asked again.Her voice sounded colder than before, it was already at the end of its strength.

Her anger was already half gone.

"Queen, this medicine strengthens the body." Gu Jinzhi said, "The empress's body is already empty. If there is no powerful medicine, she won't be able to survive the past few years. With my medicine, she can save her life. Empress, this extraordinary medicine has both advantages and disadvantages."

The queen mother was speechless.

Now, she finally understood Gu Jinzhi's thoughts.

Gu Jinzhi used this medicine for Empress Tan absolutely out of selfishness.And her selfishness is to take advantage of the disadvantages of this drug to control Empress Tan and make Empress Tan obedient;

But if someone pursues her, she has reason to prevaricate.

Empress Tan is very ill, and she needs to drink poison to quench her thirst.

Gu Jinzhi's medicine indeed saved Empress Tan's life.

Therefore, she is not afraid that someone will trouble her.

The queen mother understood this and sighed slightly.

When she thought of the crown prince's hostility towards Zhu Zhongjun and the emperor's dislike for Zhu Zhongjun, she couldn't let go of it a hundred times.In case he goes away someday, how can Zhu Zhongjun rely on him?

Now, Gu Jinzhi has completely climbed up to Empress Tan.

Although her means are a bit mean.

But after being in the Forbidden Palace for a long time, any despicable means are commonplace for the Queen Mother.Empress Tan herself has killed countless people. She shouldn't have lived so long in the first place.

It is understandable for Gu Jinzhi to save her life and gain benefits from it.

In her heart, the queen mother still favored Gu Jinzhi and Zhu Zhongjun.

She gently took Gu Jinzhi's hand, and said, "You gave the queen this medicine. The disadvantages are so serious, and the queen will realize it sooner or later. You must be extremely careful when you do things. The matter of the third princess is up to you." There is Aijia. If you don’t let the Queen take action, Aijia will also plan one or two, it’s not worth your exposure so early..."

She wanted to use all her tricks and let Empress Tan become Zhu Zhongjun's life-saving talisman in the future.

The Queen Mother did not believe in miracles.

She also needs to be prepared and ready for everything.

She was very afraid that Zhu Zhongjun would be like fish on a knife in the future.

Gu Jinzhi nodded and stopped looking at the Queen Mother.

This conversation is over.

The Empress Dowager told Gu Jinzhi again: "...these days, you should seldom go around the palace."

She hoped that Gu Jinzhi would avoid the sharp edge.Don't offend the queen and prince.

This time, when the empress thought about it afterwards, she would definitely blame Gu Jinzhi; and the crown prince was full of anger and had nowhere to vent it.

Gu Jinzhi laughed.

She knew that the Queen Mother had already stood by her side.

It is impossible to tell the truth.

Such half-truths are deceitful.But there is no malice towards the Queen Mother.

Gu Jinzhi said: "Mother, my younger brother will get married at the beginning of next month, and my baby will be ready in the middle of the second half month. At that time, I won't be able to go to the palace to greet you."

The Queen Mother nodded.

After talking for half a day in Renshou Palace, the doubts in the Empress Dowager's mind were solved, and Gu Jinzhi went to Jinghe Palace again.

The third princess is also in Jinghe Palace.

She showed Concubine De her newly drawn picture.

"Mid-Autumn Festival, I want to make a big lantern for my grandmother. I drew this myself. Auntie has a look. How is my drawing?" When Gu Jinzhi came in, the third princess warmly greeted her and pulled Gu Jin away. Let her read her own words.

Her paintings are mature and subtle.

A picture of eight beauties, she painted lifelike.Eight beauties.They stand or sit, frown or smile, in different shapes.

Gu Jinzhi looked at it and praised: "The power of the princess. It is no less than a generation of Danqing masters."

The third princess blushed slightly, and said with a smile: "Auntie's praise."

Concubine De was also full of joy.

Together with Concubine De, Gu Jinzhi highly praised the painting of the third princess.

The third princess wanted to go back to polish it, so she asked someone to tidy it up, and said: "Concubine mother and aunt are talking, I will leave first."

Defei nodded.

After the third princess left, Concubine De smiled and took Gu Jinzhi's hand, and said, "I heard about it, thank you, Seventh Sister. You helped a lot this time."

"I didn't help much." Gu Jinzhi said with a smile, "I heard that the empress didn't like Yuan Xun and the crown prince was filial, so she replaced it."

This is a private rumor.

Since Yuan Xun was selected for the first time, everyone felt that with the Prince's love for Yuan Yuye these days, there was no suspense for Yuan Xun to be elected as the third princess.

How would you know, in the blink of an eye, Yuan Xun lost the second selection.

This caused speculation in the DPRK and China.

Could it be that Yuan Yuye offended the prince somewhere and is about to fall out of favor?

But the palace said that it was the queen who helped.

This word has not been spread, only the people in the palace know.

The instigator, Gu Jinzhi, also knew it.

"The Empress is kind and loving, and the Crown Prince is filial." Concubine De said, "But I know the inside story. I accept Seventh Sister's love. In the future, Seventh Sister has something to ask for, and I will spare no effort."

The empress doesn't like the third princess, let alone the concubine De.

The queen doesn't care about the life and death of Concubine De and the third princess.

As for the crown prince, he tried his best to promote the Yuan family.

Beating down the Yuan family's children at this time will undoubtedly damage the reputation of the Yuan family, and it is also a loss for the prince.

If there is no strength in it, the prince will not give up for no reason.

It has been more than half a year since Gu Jinzhi saw a doctor for the queen. The queen is in good health, and she has lived a life of staying out of the house.

The queen also turned a blind eye to major and minor matters in the palace.

This is Gu Jinzhi's credit.

Concubine De has been in this forbidden palace for a long time, although she hasn't suffered any big losses, she still has a thorough understanding of the worldly affairs in the palace.

There is no benefit in the palace.

Without Gu Jinzhi, this matter would not have been possible.

"Your Majesty, you don't need to be like this." Gu Jinzhi smiled, "We are related by blood. Besides, I don't contribute much. No matter how much the queen makes trouble, if the prince insists on refusing to listen, the queen will have nothing to do. I'm afraid the outer court will also use my strength. Uncle contributes even more."

This also makes sense.

Concubine De had previously suspected that her uncle hadn't contributed at all, and felt resentful.

At this moment, her daughter doesn't need to marry into Yuan's family, Concubine De feels good and forgiving.

She didn't know about the affairs of the outer court, but she still agreed with Gu Jinzhi's words.

She is going to give something to her aunt during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
