The concubine is poisonous

Chapter 7
"Ning'er, you're fine. What are you doing with such a temper? Come and sit beside Dad." Zhao Zhongran beckoned to his daughter kindly.Since childhood, my pair of children have no maternal love, and I am their only support.

Seeing that her father was coming, Zhao Yuning walked up to Zhao Zhongran and said, "Father, you have always loved your daughter the most. This time, you must vent your anger on me and deal with that Gu Xining." Zhao Yuning held Zhao Zhongran's arm and said coquettishly.

Zhao Zhongran sighed helplessly and said, "Your brother's situation can only be cured by Gu Xinning, the Zhao family has only this incense stick left."

"Daughter doesn't care, I want Daddy to fix that bitch. Daughter doesn't believe that there is no famous doctor in the world who can care more than her." Zhao Yuning saw Zhao Zhongran's thoughts, and before Zhao Zhongran could finish speaking, she hurriedly said.

Zhao Zhongran shook his head and said, "What if there is no one? What if there is, but we can't meet? Do you want your father to look after the Zhao family? Do you have the heart to let your brother become a useless person?"

"I don't care, my daughter must enter the palace. There are countless imperial physicians in the palace, all of whom are experts in medicine. As long as my daughter enters the palace and receives the emperor's favor, she will definitely be able to." Zhao Yuning begged her father with tears in her eyes.

"Shut up!" This time it was Zhao Zhongran who interrupted his daughter, Zhao Zhongran took a long breath of pain and said, "Father has decided to let Gu Xinning enter the palace instead of you, so it will be suspected by others. Afterwards, you will go back to the ancestral house in Taiyuan to stay temporarily. I will ask the best servants in the local area to take care of your daily life."

"No, my daughter doesn't want her. She's a pariah. Why should she enter the palace and replace me?" Zhao Yuning's voice gradually became hoarse. She really didn't want to believe how her father could be so ruthless to her.

Zhao Zhongran suppressed his emotions and continued to persuade him earnestly: "Daughter, what a dangerous place the palace is. The women in the harem are all scheming and poisonous like snakes and scorpions. What Gu Xinning said is right, you can enter the palace if you have a temperament like you." , and will be killed sooner or later without knowing it.”

Hearing her father say the words Gu Xinning, Zhao Yuning became more and more excited, "Gu Xinning! Gu Xinning! It's Gu Xinning again, why do you trust that woman so much? You listen to everything she says, but you don't listen to anything my daughter says."

Seeing his daughter crying and yelling hysterically, Zhao Zhongran knew that it would be futile to tell her more truths at this moment, so he shook his head and turned around and said, "Okay, I'll talk to Gu Xinning again, you're hungry too. Alright, I'll ask the kitchen to bring you some chicken soup." After finishing speaking, Zhao Zhongran walked towards the kitchen.

Zhao Yuning looked at her father's tone of voice slightly slower, thinking that her persistence had finally won her father's intolerance, tears stopped instantly, a slight smile appeared on her face, and she murmured to herself: "Huh, Gu Xinning, I guess it is Daddy's daughter, it's ridiculous that you are an outsider fighting with me."

Zhao Zhongran came to the kitchen and ordered someone to stew a bowl of stew for the young lady, and then bring it to his room, and deliver it to his daughter by himself.The kitchen handyman followed suit while muttering in his heart, "The master must have had a fight with the lady, and he wants to send chicken soup by himself to apologize to his daughter." '

The stove in the Zhao residence was specially built by a famous craftsman, and the fire was always very hot. After a while, the chicken soup was stewed and brought to Zhao Zhongran's room. Looking at the steaming chicken soup on the table, Zhao Zhongran trembled from his arms. Taking out the pill that Gu Xinning gave her, Zhao Zhongran stared at the pill, his whole body seemed to be petrified, motionless.

After a long time, the heat of the chicken soup had gradually weakened. Zhao Zhongran gritted his teeth, raised his hand and shook the soup bowl, and the pill fell into the soup. The originally calm chicken soup began to boil, and returned to calm after a while.

Zhao Zhongran wiped the tears from his face with his hand, stood up firmly, picked up the chicken soup and walked to Zhao Yuning's room.

Zhao Yuning has calmed down now, and the broken cups, plates and chopsticks in the room have been cleaned up by the servants.Zhao Yuning was sitting silently at the table alone, thinking about how to fix Gu Xining, so as to avenge the anger she received.

Seeing his father come in with broken chicken soup, he immediately showed his face and said: "Daddy, my daughter has thought of a way to treat that bitch well. Daddy will help me this time."

Gu Zhongran nodded and said: "Okay, Daddy will help you. Come on, you haven't eaten all day, so drink the chicken soup first, and we'll discuss how to deal with her after you finish the soup."

Zhao Yuning was overjoyed when she heard this and said, "Okay, my daughter will drink now."

Watching Zhao Yuning gulp down the chicken soup with 'one soul for the soul', Zhao Zhongran felt an inexplicable pain in his heart, and an unconcealable sadness appeared on his face.

After Zhao Yuning finished drinking the chicken soup, she put the bowl aside and said, "Daddy, let me tell you, let's wait for a while...ah... why does my stomach hurt, Daddy...chicken soup...it's you, Daddy...why? ?”

Zhao Yuning could no longer hear the answer, because she had passed out at the moment, and Zhao Zhongran's eyes were filled with tears again. He stood up and hugged his daughter on the bed, covered her with the quilt, looked at her daughter silently by the bed for a while, So she took the soup bowl and left Zhao Yuning's room.

After Zhao Zhongran left his daughter's room, he took the soup bowl to the kitchen and ordered someone to clean it, and then went straight to Gu Xinning's room.

After coming to Gu Xinning's room, he said to Gu Xinning, "The matter has been settled according to your wishes."

Gu Xinning sighed and said, "It's hard for Master Zhao."

Zhao Zhongran showed displeasure and said, "Don't dare, my daughter will be fine."

Gu Xinning nodded and said: "Lord Zhao, don't worry, your love will never have anything wrong except for the temporary need of someone to take care of her. After the matter is done, this girl will definitely give you the antidote so that Master Zhao's beloved daughter will be safe."

Zhao Zhongran sighed and said: "Tomorrow, everything will go according to plan. The sedan chair will be placed in the courtyard in advance, and no one will guard it. You can just play by ear."

Gu Xinning smiled and said, "Well, very good, and I want to ask about the selection process."

Zhao Zhongran thought for a while and replied: "Actually, it's nothing. First of all, the candidates will be ranked first, and after entering the palace in order, they will arrange to meet the emperor and empress dowager at Jingyunxuan. cards."

Gu Xinning pondered for a while and then asked: "Then what are the selection criteria for the emperor and empress dowager?"

Zhao Zhongran replied: "The emperor is very casual about these things and never asks, but the empress dowager is very careful when choosing a beautiful girl. I don't know what kind of beautiful girl she puts. Guess, the empress dowager has the same thoughts."

After listening to this, Gu Xinning thought for a while, nodded, and then said to Zhao Zhongran with a mischievous smile: "Okay, thank you, Mr. Zhao, for a long time from now on, you and I will be called father and daughter. Before we part, please accept my daughter's respect. " As Gu Xinning said, she bent her legs and squatted halfway to salute Zhao Zhongran.

"Hmph!" Zhao Zhongran obviously didn't like this so-called daughter. Seeing that she didn't seem to have any other questions to ask, Zhao Zhongran tossed his long sleeves, turned around with his hands behind his back and left the door of Gu Xinning's room.

Woke up at five o'clock in the morning, Gu Xinning got up to pack her things. Although she didn't live in Zhao's house for a long time, many things needed to be prepared in advance because she was considering entering the palace. Gu Xinning bought some miscellaneous things outside in advance. They all need to be tidied up and brought into the palace.

Zhao Zhongran also woke up very early, maybe he didn't sleep all night. Early in the morning, Zhao Zhongran came to Gu Xinning's door and knocked on the door. After getting permission from the people in the room, Zhao Zhongran entered the room and said to Gu Xinning: " I have already arranged for Yuning, the sedan chair is specially made. You can hide in the dark room below in a while."

After Gu Xinning hid in the sedan chair, Zhao Zhongran asked Nian Se to help the fainted Zhao Yuning into the sedan chair, and told the servants in the mansion that Nian Se was the young lady's new maid, and she would bring her into the palace to serve her.
