First Lady of the Crown Prince

  Chapter 368 Pit Toffee (two more)

   "Who is this silly boy?"

   Queen Mother Zhuang asked casually.

  Gu Chengfeng realized that the Queen Mother had also come, standing behind Gu Jiao.

  Gu Chengfeng and Queen Mother Zhuang had a two-sided bond, once in Bishui Hutong, and the other time when he and Gu Jiao were chased by Tang Ming near the imperial palace.

  Queen mother Zhuang “slashed” them as assassins, which made Tang Ming feel relieved ever since.

  I want to say that the inspiration for being killed pretending to be an assassin came from the Queen Mother.

  That time Gu Chengfeng wore a mask, so Queen Mother Zhuang did not recognize him as Gu Jiao’s "friend" that night.

  While Gu Chengfeng's face was full of mud at this time, the Queen Mother Zhuang did not recognize him as Gu Chengfeng.

  But in the next second, Queen Mother Zhuang guessed something: "Oh, the one at the Marshal's Mansion."

  Are the eyes so poisonous?

  Can this be guessed too?

  Obviously, his voice has changed!

  If the empress dowager Zhuang doesn’t even have the ability, it would be nothing to do in the harem of the court for so many years. She glanced at Gu Chengfeng indifferently: "What is the relationship between you and Jiaojiao?"

  How do you think this is a proposition?

  Gu Chengfeng looked at Gu Jiao.

  Gu Jiao broke her hands and watched with folded arms.

what! This girl, throw it away when you use it up! What a shame!

   "Enlighten the Queen Mother." He stood up and bowed his hands in a salute, "Cao Min Gu Chengfeng, I have seen the Queen Mother."

"Oh."

  Brother Jiaojiao, not wild flowers and weeds.

  Don’t bother her to hold her grandson.

  Then Queen Mother Zhuang left without asking why Gu Chengfeng learned martial arts and why he entered Gong Yunyun.

  It made Gu Chengfeng a little dazed: "...The queen mother's temperament is still, quite unique."

  Duke Qin’s **** really made them stunned. The **** was hard, and it was okay. It was just a little frightened and shrank in the shell all afternoon.

  Gu Jiao dealt with Gu Chengfeng's shoulder injury and asked him for one thousand taels of silver, which was called the consultation fee.

  Gu Chengfeng who hasn't gotten a thousand taels of silver notes: "..."

  Gu Chengfeng looked at her with a headache: "In other words, you would rather give up the imperial decree and rescue me from Long Yingwei. Wouldn't it be the one thousand taels of silver ticket, right?"

  After all, if he dies, the body will definitely be disposed of, and she won’t be able to get the bank notes.

  How could Gu Jiao look like this!

  Gu Chengfeng understood, he was a little moved in his heart, this girl turned out to be a little conscientious, she didn't just know how to squeeze him.

Gu Jiao analyzed seriously: "If you die, I will lose one thousand taels, but if you live, you can earn me more than one thousand taels! As for the imperial edict, aren't you the number one thief? Go steal it next time. Come back!"

  Gu Chengfeng: "……"

  So why should he be moved?

  The two had lunch in Renshou Palace of Empress Dowager Zhuang.

Gu Chengfeng couldn’t think of Queen Mother Zhuang as an ordinary aunt. She ate a meal with extreme restraint, but Gu Jiao kept talking, her cheeks were stuffed, which reminded me of the little one he had caught in the back mountain. Fat squirrel.

  In the hall, Jing Taifei waited quietly while knocking on the wooden fish and chanting sutras.

  However, she didn't wait for the news of Mother Cai to catch the assassin. Instead, she waited for the sad news that Mother Cai was detained and interrogated by the emperor.

"The Toffee Empress." The little nun who reported to her knelt behind her and looked at her nervously, "What to do? Mother Cai was taken away... Why did your Majesty arrest Mother Cai? Mother Cai is not us. Are you from the Nunnery? Your Majesty is not..."

  The little nun said a series of grievances in one breath, and she shed tears in the end.

  The palace has always been unable to hide things, and one thing can be said to be ten-eighth-eight.

  There is no need to spread anything in Renshou Palace. The arrest of Madam Cai is enough to make people guess whether the relationship between Jing Taifei and the emperor is really strained.

  "Tapas, let’s go and intercede with your majesty, please let your majesty Cai go... Madam Cai is getting older... I can’t bear the pain..."

  The little nun has not been in the palace for a long time, but she has not rarely heard of the torture in the palace where life is worse than death. She was arrested and interrogated. No matter whether she was able to get something out of the trial or not, she was at least skinny.

  She is worried.

  She is also scared.

  I was afraid that this big **** would collapse and crush her who was in the building to death.

  Night fell, the hall was silent, and the sobbing of the little nun gradually melted into the night.

  Tsao Jing did nothing. She didn't even send anyone to inquire about the news of Madam Cai. She just sat quietly in the Buddhist hall with her hands folded, as if she was worshipping the Buddha religiously, or as if she was just sitting withered.

  The little nun finally couldn't stand it anymore. She had only heard of the cruelty of the palace, but had not personally experienced it.

  She choked and ran to Huaqing Palace.

   "Let me see your Majesty! The empress dowager hasn't eaten or drink all day... if this goes on... if this goes on... she will get sick..."

  She cried very loudly.

  This is a taboo in the palace.

  She didn't know how lucky she was, and she was not dragged down by the rules of the palace.

   "What is arguing outside?" The emperor put down the zipper in his hand and pinched his eyebrows and asked.

  Wei Gonggong whispered: "It's the little teacher next to the concubine empress, saying it is... the concubine empress has not eaten all day."

  The emperor frowned.

  Gonggong Wei inspected his words and said: "Your Majesty, do you want to see if you are a slave?"

  The emperor opened his mouth.

  He hesitated unexpectedly, for a moment he wanted to nod.

   Then he was frightened by his own thoughts. In the past, when he heard the news of Concubine Jing’s mother, he would immediately put aside his official duties and visit her, but now that she hasn’t been dripping in all day, he is not so worried.

  He shouldn't be like this.

  He closed his eyes and said, "I will go to the temple."

  Duke Wei: "Yes."

  The emperor did not sit in a sedan chair, but walked over with Wei Gonggong himself.

  Quiet Toffee Xijing, so the site was very remote at that time, and because of the rush to use it overnight, the building itself was not large.

  Was engulfed by the night now, and it becomes more and more insignificant.

  The little nun saw the emperor coming, and she was surprised: "Your Majesty--"

  The emperor didn't look at her, only slightly raised his hand.

  The little nun was instantly shocked by the threat of the real dragon.

  The lamp in the Buddhist hall was on, and a lonely figure throbbed on the window paper, and the emperor stepped over.

  In the deserted Buddhist hall, Concubine Jing was sitting on the ground alone. She tried to straighten her back, but it seemed that she couldn't survive the passing of time and the passing of years. Her body had a trace of depression in her twilight years.

  The emperor’s heart suddenly became sour: "Mother Concubine..."

  Tsao Jing did not look back, she said coldly and flatly: "Your Majesty, please go back if there is nothing to do."

  The emperor listened to her moodless voice, and the sourness in his heart became stronger and stronger: "My concubine is blaming me..."

Concubine Jing laughed at herself: "What's the blame for you? Blame you for taking away Madam Cai, or for having your nightmare. When I am a scourge, the queen mother is your close mother, or you obviously took me out of the palace. I came back from the external connection, but hurriedly sent me out of the Huaqing Palace? Your Majesty, what am I? How many mothers are there in the world who want to be called a mother by my own son?"

  She said and turned around.

  There are no tears in her eyes, only endless sadness.

  The emperor looked at her like this, but he felt his heart hurt.

  How can he doubt his mother and concubine?

  How can she have her own secret?

  How could she send an assassin to assassinate the queen mother?

  Ning An is married, and she was forced to go to the nunnery again, and her only son couldn't bear the love of her. How did she spend all these years alone?

  Has he forgotten all about it!

  He stepped forward, sat down in front of her, and held his hand: "Hong'er will never go anymore. In Hong'er's heart, the mother and concubine will always be Hong'er's only mother."

  Taffles Jing's fingertips trembled, and her eyes were red.

  The emperor squeezed her hand guiltily: "Mother has not eaten yet, Hong'er will accompany you to eat."

  Tsao Jing calmly asked: "Then your Majesty...have you never doubted me anymore?"

  "I..." The emperor hesitated for a very short time, "I won't be anymore."

  Quiet Toffee lowered her eyes.

  ……

   "It turns out that Princess Jing hid so deeply." On the carriage returning, Gu Chengfeng couldn't help but sigh with Gu Jiao.

  Gu Jiao wouldn’t tell him this. Gu Jiao talked less. It was the revolutionary friendship that Gu Chengfeng helped Qin Gonggong feed Wang Ba. Qin Gonggong told him.

  Gu Chengfeng’s most surprised thing is that Princess Jing can even get rid of the emperor, but that is her adopted son, why is she willing to give him so many strange drugs? I'm not afraid to feed people stupid.

   "The most poisonous woman's heart!"

  He said this was a pun, and he wanted to take the opportunity to tease Gu Jiao.

  However, Gu Jiao didn't respond at all.

  Gu Chengfeng only felt a punch on the cotton.

  The carriage swayed, thinking of something, Gu Chengfeng suddenly smiled: "You just changed the black medicine and the white medicine? Then next time she drug the emperor, will it be counterproductive?"

  The moon was black and the wind was high, and the hall was secluded. Only the small kitchen made bursts of frying noise.

  The emperor went to another Buddhist room to wait.

Toffee Jing pushed open the door of her meditation room and walked in slowly. Then she waved her sleeve backhand and closed the door with her internal force.

  She opened the closet and took the black medicine and white medicine out of the small box.

  She pulled out the cork of the white medicine bottle, poured out a dark brown pill from it, and wrapped it in a white kerchief.

  After finishing this, she planned to leave, but she suddenly stopped.

  Her gaze fell on the small box, looked at the place where the imperial edict was originally released, and then looked at the two bottles—

  Suddenly, she put the medicine back into the white bottle and poured a medicine out of the black bottle.

  She took the medicine in the black bottle and went to the monastery next door.

  Zhai dishes are ready.

  The emperor sat on a cushion with her, and the emperor personally arranged dishes for her.

   "Your Majesty eat it yourself." She said.

"There is no majesty, no concubine, only Hong'er and Niang." The emperor picked up a piece of young bamboo shoots for Concubine Jing, "I remember my mother likes to eat bamboo shoots. It is not the time to eat bamboo shoots. Only pickled bamboo shoots. Wait for winter bamboo shoots. Come out, I have someone dig a big basket back."

  Jing Taifei said: "Where can I eat so much?"

   "Your Majesty, this is the mountain mushroom soup made by the lady herself!" The little nun happily held a bowl of soup and presented it.

  The emperor said: "Mother concubine, don't work so hard anymore."

  Jing Taifei said: "It's rare for you to come here."

  The emperor solemnly said: "I will come every day, every day."

  I don’t know if this sentence touched the heart of Princess Jing, and her expression finally became less cold.

   She sighed, took the soup spoon, and served the emperor a bowl of mountain mushroom soup.

   "You all retreat," she said.

   "Yes." The little nun and the servant girl gradually stepped out.

   "You also retreat." The emperor said to Wei Gonggong.

  Duke Wei: "...Yes."

  Only two people remained in the Buddhist room exuding sandalwood incense.

  The so-called white medicine and black medicine are not insisting on who feeds him. They are only used when the medicine is effective to let him see the person he sees. It is enough to remember yourself deeply.

   "Drink while it's hot." She handed the soup bowl to the emperor.

  The emperor took a sip and said with a smile: "My mother's cooking skills are as good as ever."

   "You like it."

   "Your Majesty! The Queen Mother calls you to discuss!"

  Wei Gonggong’s report was heard suddenly outside the door.

  Jing Taifei looked at him with her eyes slightly moving. The emperor's heart was hurt by her uneasy eyes. He said, "I'm having a meal, and I will discuss the matter tomorrow!"

   "...Yes." Grandpa Wei said helplessly.

  The emperor picked up the spoon and drank the mountain mushroom soup that his mother had made for him.

  After a bowl of mountain mushroom soup, the emperor put down the bowl and held his forehead: "Mother concubine, I am a little dizzy."

  Tsao Jing looked at him tenderly: “It’s okay. If you feel dizzy, go to bed for a while, just wake up.”

  The emperor lay on the table and looked at Concubine Jing dizzyly. In front of him was the smile of Concubine Jing, the voice of Concubine Jing in his ears, and the breath of Concubine Jing at the tip of his nose.

  All of this came into his mind deeply.

  He wants to remember this person, why remember he doesn’t know.

  He just remembered it deeply.

On the carriage, Gu Jiao leaned against the wall lazily: "I changed the black medicine and the white medicine, but I changed it back again."

  Gu Chengfeng was shocked: "What did you say? You, did you change back? So...the white bottle is still white medicine, and the black bottle is still black medicine?"

  Gu Jiao nodded: "Yes."

  Gu Chengfeng was stunned: "Why did you do this?"

  Gu Jiao said lightly: “Because the godfather said that in this world, there are always people who like to be clever but are mistaken by cleverness."
