Queen is fearless

Chapter 51
Imperial Physician Hu inspected very meticulously, it took more than half an hour just for one inner room.

From the inner room to the main hall, as long as it was used frequently by Gu Jinzhi, he carefully checked it. Fortunately, there was no other problem except the meal this morning.

"Mr. Hu has worked hard." After hearing Mr. Hu's reply, Gu Jinzhi said with a smile.

Imperial Physician Hu hurriedly saluted, and as soon as he got up, he saw Hongxiu handing over a bulging purse.

"Now that the Queen Mother and Concubine Xing have just returned, I don't want others to know about Fengyang Palace."

When the Queen's voice came, Imperial Physician Hu hurriedly responded, he was a little afraid to accept the purse in Hongxiu's hand.

"Physician Hu, don't worry, you do your best for this palace, you deserve it."

"Thank you, Madam, please rest assured, Madam Empress, the purpose of coming to Fengyang Palace is to give Madam a peace pulse, and I don't know the rest."

After receiving the heavy purse, he put it away and saluted the queen again.

After ordering Hongxiu to send Imperial Physician Hu out, Gu Jinzhi looked at Bai Zhi.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. During the examination by Imperial Physician Hu, the servants followed and checked carefully. There is no problem."

This is the purpose of letting Bai Zhi follow. Gu Jinzhi did not fully trust Imperial Physician Hu.

To be precise, in this harem, she trusts herself the most, followed by Qingluan and Hongxiu.

As for the others... don't rush to draw conclusions yet.

She had already made up her mind that when she had the opportunity, she would send a letter to her family, asking her mother to bring in someone with good medical skills the next time she entered the palace, and then check it out carefully.

…………

"Reporting to Concubine Qi, the letter has been sent out, and there must be news in the next few days."

In Ci'an Palace, Madam Yan bowed to Concubine Xing, and after she finished speaking, Concubine Xing nodded.

"I haven't been here for a long time, and I don't know what's going on in the harem right now. Let me inquire, and I'll know everything when I come back."

Before the empress dowager left the palace, Concubine Xing accompanied her, but she kept someone in the palace, but because she was often with the empress dowager, she seldom contacted the palace.

Now that I'm back in the palace, the people I arranged before should also come in handy.

After receiving the order, Madam Yan withdrew, Concubine Xing tidied up and took someone to pay her respects to the Queen Mother.

On the other side, Gu Jinzhi also went to Shoukang Palace.

It stands to reason that she should get up early to pay her respects, but Shoukang Palace sent someone to ask her to go there around noon, and she happened to be having lunch at Shoukang Palace.

So after breakfast, she had enough time to investigate the affairs in Fengyang Palace.

When the phoenix chariot stopped, Gu Jinzhi saw Concubine Xing, she was standing at the gate of Shoukang Palace, waiting for Concubine Xing to approach.

As a queen, besides the queen mother and the emperor, she has the highest status in the harem.

Even if Concubine Xing is a concubine, she is not as valuable as the empress.

However, because she was the first emperor's concubine and also a concubine, Gu Jinzhi would give her enough to save face.

As long as Concubine Xing doesn't do anything out of the ordinary, she will look good in face.

"Concubine Tai." Seeing Concubine Xing get off the sedan chair, Gu Jinzhi greeted her with a smile.

"It's this hour, and the empress is here?" Looking at the sky, Concubine Xing said with a half-smile.

"I should have gotten up early to pay my respects, but my mother was sympathetic and asked me to come near noon. I heard that the sisters' greetings were also omitted. From now on, I only need to come to Shoukang Palace to pay my respects on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year."

Responding to Concubine Xing, the two walked towards Shoukang Palace together.

Because of giving face to Concubine Xing, Gu Jinzhi deliberately took a step behind and let her go ahead.

Concubine Xing was not polite, she walked forward while listening to Gu Jinzhi.

"So that's how it is. If I have a beautiful daughter-in-law like the queen, I will definitely cherish it very much."

After listening to Gu Jinzhi's words, Concubine Xing spoke again. When she was still a concubine, she gave birth to King Rui for the former emperor. Right now, King Rui's mansion only has side concubines and no concubine.

When she comes back this time, there is another important matter, which is to choose a concubine with a suitable wealth for King Rui.

The two entered the hall one behind the other, and the queen mother had already received the notification and was sitting on the soft couch.

Seeing Gu Jinzhi walking behind Concubine Xing, he nodded secretly in his heart.

As the empress dowager, she naturally knew that the status of concubine Xing was not as good as empress.

But the queen gave her face so much, it can be seen that she is a sensible person.

"Excuse me, you all sit down." Seeing that the two wanted to salute, the queen mother smiled and waved her hand, and gave them seats.

Gu Jinzhi blessed Fushen and sat on the chair. The Queen Mother looked at her, asked her what she liked with a smile, and then told Nanny Liu to go to the small kitchen to let her know.

"The Ai family kept the empress, and have lunch in the Shoukang Palace, and my sister will come with me, right?" Turning to look at Concubine Xing, the smile on the Empress Dowager's face remained unchanged.

"The Empress Dowager eats with her daughter-in-law, so my sister won't bother me, otherwise my heart will be too sour." Sitting on the chair, Concubine Xing also had a smile on her face.

Those who didn't know it thought that the Queen Mother and Concubine Xing were really sisters.

"You, this mouth is powerful, don't worry, there will be a daughter-in-law sooner or later, and this time when you come back, you should also confirm King Rui's concubine."

Although Concubine Xing is the biological mother of King Rui, the Queen Mother can speak for King Rui's marriage.

"At that time, I have to trouble the Queen Mother to help me choose. Appearance is not the most important thing, but character and family background. After all, she is a princess. If she is too beautiful, she will always feel uneasy."

When saying this, Concubine Xing glanced at the queen, "This ruby ​​pendant looks really good on the queen."

He talked about King Rui's concubine before, but then he talked about himself. Gu Jinzhi, who was listening to the two of them, looked at Concubine Xing.

"Toffee's eyesight is really good. It's also the first day I wear this ruby ​​pendant." When I put it on yesterday, it was already very late, not a day.

"The queen's skin is fair, and she will look even better when she wears this ruby ​​pendant." The queen mother's eyes fell on the pendant that Gu Jinzhi was carrying.

She knew that pendant. It seemed that the emperor really liked the empress.

"Thank you mother for your praise." Stretching out his hand, he touched the pendant. Thinking of what Concubine Xing said just now, Gu Jinzhi lowered his head and calmed down the coldness in his eyes.

After sitting for a while, Concubine Xing got up to leave, and the Queen Mother didn't stay any longer, and ordered Mother Liu to send her out.

"You don't have to take what Concubine Xing said to you." Seeing Concubine Xing leave, the Queen Mother withdrew her gaze and looked at Gu Jinzhi.

Gu Jinzhi didn't expect that the Queen Mother would suddenly mention this, and quickly responded with a smile, "Don't worry, Queen Mother, I know about it."

"She...she was very smart when Ai's family was the empress, but since the late emperor left and she became a concubine, she is not the same as before."

After listening to Gu Jinzhi's words, the queen mother spoke again, "Although she is a concubine, but you are a queen, as long as you don't go too far, you don't have to care too much. If there is anything, the Ai family will take care of it."
