The concubine is poisonous

Chapter 44 List
From a distance, Gu Xinning saw that Zhao's gatekeeper was someone she had never seen before, probably because Zhao Zhongran was worried that if Gu Xinning came back, the old servant would show his flaws, so he made another arrangement or dismissed him.

When Gu Xinning left the palace, she had already sent someone to inform Zhao Zhongran that she would be back soon, so that Zhao Zhongran should be prepared so that no one would suspect him. The old housekeeper was looking out through the crack of the door, and Zhao Zhongran was standing in the courtyard with his hands tied.

At this time, the old housekeeper saw Gu Xinning and Nian Se walking towards this side, and hurriedly shouted to Zhao Zhongran in the yard: "Master, master, miss, ah no, it's your mistress, your mistress is back."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhongran nodded, coughed lightly and started walking towards the door, as if preparing to go out.The old housekeeper stretched out his hand to open the door. As soon as Zhao Zhongran stepped out of the door, he saw that Gu Xinning had already walked to the door, so he pretended to be surprised and said, "Ah, Yu Ning, you, why are you back? The emperor allowed you to come out so soon. palace?"

Gu Xinning stepped forward, bowed and said, "Daughter pays respects to Daddy."

Zhao Zhongran hastily stepped forward and stretched out his hand to support Gu Xinning, saying: "No, no, you are now a concubine, how can you salute the subordinates."

"I'm still a father and a daughter in all identities. Is Daddy going to go out at this time?"

"Don't go out, don't go out, I was fine at first, I wanted to go out for a while, now that you're back, I won't go, come in quickly and tell me that I'm still used to living in the palace." Zhao Zhongran said enthusiastically He said, while letting Gu Xinning into the mansion, he undoubtedly wanted to let the new servants also meet Gu Xinning at the same time, let them know that this is Zhao Zhongran's daughter, the emperor's concubine, so that no one would ask who the lady who came to the mansion was in the future Sometimes, someone will say something like 'I don't know'.

Entering the mansion, Zhao Zhongran purposely summoned all the servants and maidservants to bow to Concubine Ning on the grounds of showing respect to Concubine Ning, so that everyone would recognize Gu Xining as Zhao Yuning.

Afterwards, he brought Gu Xining to the room where Zhao Yuning originally lived to chat.As soon as he entered the room, the expression on Zhao Zhongran's face, which was originally excited and enthusiastic, suddenly became indifferent, as if he was still jealous of what Gu Xinning had done before.

Gu Xinning glanced at Zhao Zhongran's expression on Zhao Zhongran's face, smiled lightly and said, "Daddy is still blaming my daughter? Daddy should have heard that someone wanted to poison me the first day my daughter entered the palace. If it wasn't me who went there , does daddy think Zhao Yuning still exists?"

Zhao Zhongran responded with a snort of disdain: "Hmph, then Zhao Zhongran would like to thank the mother for saving my life on behalf of the little girl."

Gu Xinning smiled and said: "Father, you are being polite, this is the daughter's business."

"You! Dare to ask when the empress will return to the palace?" Zhao Zhongran asked, suppressing the anger in his heart.

Gu Xinning raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "No hurry, my daughter wants to stay for two more days."

"Then empress, rest well, I will leave." Zhao Zhongran turned around displeased.

As soon as Zhao Zhongran turned around, Gu Xinning's silver bell-like laughter sounded from Benhou, and he said coquettishly, "Hahaha, okay, since daddy hates my daughter so much, it's fine for her to leave."

Zhao Zhongran thought that Gu Xinning was playing tricks again, but who knew that Gu Xinning really left as soon as he said that, before Zhao Zhongran recovered, Gu Xinning had already opened the door, and Gu Xinning turned around at the door and squatted down slightly towards Zhao Zhongran Said: "Daddy, my daughter still has things to do, so I won't delay Daddy's work. Next time my daughter has a chance to come back, I will spend time with you."

Only then did Zhao Zhongran come to his senses suddenly, and he smiled again and said, "Since the empress has something to do, then the officials don't dare to keep the empress, let the officials give the empress a ride."

Zhao Zhongran made a look of reluctance, and sent Gu Xinning out of the gate, and then followed him all the way to the corner of the street. Only then did the father and daughter reluctantly bid farewell to each other.

In the Hall of Qinzheng, Ye Junyan listened to the report of the guards sent to monitor Gu Xinning's actions, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "Who is following her now?"

The guard who came back replied: "Go back to the emperor, after watching the empress go out of the city gate, the little one came back first to report. Now following the empress are Zhao Gang and Chen Wu."

Ye Junyan nodded and said, "Okay, go down and receive the reward."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, this servant will leave." The guard bowed and exited the Qinzheng Hall as he said.

After watching the guards leave, Ye Junyan frowned and said to himself: "Did she not notice that she was being followed, or did she not want to find out at all? Zhao Yuning, I care more and more about you!"

The Three Mountains Plain is located in Yuangu Town, three hundred miles east of the capital.Gu Xinning and Nianse blessed the fast horse day and night to come to the Three Mountains Plain.

The Sanshan Plain is a large piece of flat land. Although the area is not very large, it only covers an area of ​​more than [-] mu. There is no way to grow plants on the land here.Because it is surrounded by mountains on three sides, it is just in the middle of the three mountains, so it is called Sanshan Plain.

Gu Xinning and Nianse rode to the middle of the Three Mountains Plain and stopped.

Nian Se looked at the surrounding environment, and asked curiously, "Ma'am, what is this place?"

Gu Xinning smiled and said, "This is called Sanshan Plain."

Nian Se said with an 'oh', "It's indeed quite flat, haha, Nian Se understands."

Gu Xinning looked at Nian Se with a smile and asked, "What does little Se'er understand?"

While looking at the surrounding environment, Nian Se said: "This place is hundreds of miles away, and there is no shelter or hindrance. If you want to monitor, you can only peek from a far away place. If you get closer, you will be found. The empress doesn't want to get rid of it." Those who fall off the trail don't want the other party to know who the empress met and what they said, that's why the empress invites someone to meet in such a place."

Gu Xinning giggled and scratched Nianse's waist and eyes, and said, "Oh, why did our little Se'er become so smart all of a sudden, let me check and see what magic medicines I have taken recently."

Nian Se was avoiding Gu Xinning's jade hand while smiling, when suddenly a soft cough "cough cough." Suddenly, a person appeared ten meters away from the two of them.A man in a cloak and a cape.

Gu Xinning stopped teasing Nian Se and stood up straight with a calm expression on her face, not surprised at all.On the contrary, Nian Se was very surprised.

Nian Se's martial arts are more than enough for walking in the rivers and lakes. If you want to be a heroine, a female mountain king, etc., it must be more than enough, but I don't feel any movement or breath of this person.This person is like a ghost, appearing suddenly and soundlessly.

Because he was wearing a cloak and a straw hat, Nianse couldn't see the person's face and figure clearly, and he couldn't judge his age, but from the cough just now, Nianse felt that this should be a man, and he shouldn't be too old .

Nian Se saw that there was suddenly a person on the flat ground, and she couldn't help but panic and said: "Ma'am, he."

"Nian Se, it's okay, you wait here, I'll go and have a few words with him." Gu Xinning Biang asked to be calm and natural, without any panic or fear.Ling Nianse felt that this person should be a friend rather than an enemy, so she couldn't help but relax a little, and thought in her heart: "It seems that this is the person the empress is dating." So she nodded obediently to reassure Gu Xinning.

Seeing that Nian Se had calmed down, Gu Xinning walked towards the man, the man turned around, and the two of them walked a certain distance before stopping.Gu Xinning spoke first and said, "The leader of the left alliance is safe and sound."

"You finally entered the palace."

Gu Xinning smiled and said, "That's right, otherwise how would you take revenge?"

"If you want revenge, you don't have to go to such trouble."

Gu Xinning continued to smile and said: "But a cup of poison is too cheap for them. Killing people will bring pleasure, isn't it?"

"But at the same time, you are betting on yourself. I hope you don't end up burying yourself in this hatred."

Gu Xinning said with a playful smile, "No, there is the leader of the left alliance to support me, don't worry, everything will be fine."

"Oh, what do you want me to do?"

Gu Xinning put away her playful expression and said, "Help me collect the evidence on this list that these officials are corrupt and broke the law." Gu Xinning said this while handing a roll of parchment to the other party.

After the man finished the parchment, he unfolded it and took a look. The names of 33 people were written on it with blood. The blood stains were of different shades. Obviously, they were not written all at once, but were added one after another.

Among the 33 names, 12 have been crossed out. Some of these [-] people have died of illness in the past [-] years, and some have had their homes ransacked or executed because of other crimes. Zhou Yu'an's name is also crossed out list of names.

Looking at the names written in blood, the man couldn't help but let out a long sigh, stretched out his hand to hold Gu Xinning's right wrist, raised Gu Xinning's hand in front of him, looked at the slight needle mark on Gu Xinning's index finger, and then It was a sigh and said, "Why are you doing this!"

Gu Xinning already had a smile on her face, but the smile at this time seemed to be mixed with a hint of wry smile and said: "Ten fingers connected to the heart, only when you keep the pain in your heart, can you have the courage and determination to overcome all difficulties and repay my Gu family's death. hatred."

"Okay, let me help you. Are these people the ones who participated in the frame-up of General Gu Jingzhou?"

Gu Xinning nodded and said, "Yes, among them, those with a dot on their names are the ones who have the closest contact with Ran Hai and the most relevant interests. Focus on investigating."

"Okay, is there anything else you want to say to me?"

Gu Xinning pursed her lips and shook her head. Gu Xinning knew that this reluctant person had always pretended to be herself in her heart. She had always been obedient to herself and protected herself in everything. I thought that if I was just an ordinary person without family hatred, I might have a warm family and a warm life with this warm person in front of me.

But Gu Xinning is not a lady from an ordinary family, not an ordinary carefree and innocent girl.

She has revenge!She wants snow with hatred!
She knew that the 42 dead souls of the Gu family were watching her underground day and night, waiting for the day when she would seek justice for them.

Gu Xinning kept telling herself in her heart that she must not let them down.
