First Lady of the Crown Prince

  Chapter 532 Face Slap (one more)

  Bixia Palace was closer to Renshou Palace, and Duke Wei sent Xiaojingkong back to Renshou Palace before taking the aggrieved Qin Chuyu to Kunning Palace.

  Qin Chuyu could no longer help himself as a little man's golden beanie when he saw Empress Xiao.

  Looking at his teardrops falling down, Empress Xiao didn’t know, so she took her son over, wiped his tears with the veil, and asked, “What’s wrong?”

  Qin Chuyu cried out of breath.

   Empress Xiao looked at Wei Gonggong.

Father Wei had no choice but to tell the story of the matter: "...His Royal Highness said that Master Xian'er had pushed, and Master Xian said that he hadn't pushed again. That child... just lost his father, has a disability, and has no legs. Your Majesty cannot bear to be harsh. He asked the slave to bring His Highness Seven back."

  This is very skillful, and it makes people feel that your majesty does not believe in Qin Chuyu, but that the child is too pitiful, and he is a guest, so his majesty did not hold him face to face.

  Queen Xiao sighed: "Okay, don't cry."

   "He pushed me! I didn't lie..." Qin Chuyu cried miserably.

  "Well, well, he pushed you, and the mother believed you." Empress Xiao comforted her son distressedly.

  After Grandpa Wei retired, Qin Chuyu cried for a while and fell asleep.

  Empress Xiao ordered Grandpa Su to visit Bixia Hall and gave some gifts to Princess Ning'an, and she also looked at the child along the way.

   "The trouser legs below are all empty..."

  Su Gong reported.

   Empress Xiao looked at her sleeping son, touched his forehead, and sighed slowly: "I know, get out."

  The relationship between Empress Xiao and Princess Ning'an in the early years is still more harmonious than that of Princess Xinyang.

  Princess Ning'an is innocent and lively, and she is a girl who can make people feel warm when she laughs.

  It's just that I haven't seen each other for so many years, and they have shared each other. Empress Xiao may still be Empress Xiao, but Princess Ning An is no longer the naive and childish little princess.

  Now Ning An is just a poor woman who has been betrayed by her husband, and her only son is crippled. If Empress Xiao cares about them, she will lose her status, let alone displease her Majesty and the Queen Mother.

  Queen Xiao frowned, and said: "From now on, please pay close attention to His Royal Highness Seven. Don't go to Bixia Hall anymore. Take that dog and raise it today. Don't ask His Highness Seven to see it."

  Gong Su responded: "Yes."

  But said that after Xiao Jingkong returned to Renshou Palace, he said goodbye to his aunt and planned to go back.

  Because he was one year older, he firmly believed that he could go in and out as freely as his bad brother-in-law, so he came here today by himself in Liu Quan’s carriage.

  I also took Liu Quan’s carriage when I went back.

  He is an independent little man! :

   "Auntie, goodbye!" He waved his little hand.

   "Hold on." The Queen Mother grabbed the little guy, put it on the chair next to her, and asked, "What happened to your feet?"

  Small clearance: Has this also been discovered?

  I am obviously going very well!

   "It's nothing, it hurts a bit." Xiao Jingkong waved her hand and said.

  The Queen Mother took off his shoes, revealing a small swollen instep. The Queen Mother's eyebrows frowned: "How did you do it? It's all swollen."

  Small clearance is naughty, just knock on the body, bruises and falls are also common, but swelling is rare.

  Xiao Jingkong rigorously and honestly said the matter before, and at the end he added his own point of view: "...that little brother doesn't seem to like playing with others."

  Duke Qin looked at Queen Mother Zhuang worriedly.

   Queen Mother Zhuang put down her small clearance trouser legs, put her shoes on, and said, "If you don't like it, you can play by yourself in the future."

  "But why does his chair have wheels?" Xiao Jingkong is still thinking about the big wheels.

  The Queen Mother would be sad to mention these things. Gonggong Qin hurriedly said: "Jingkong, I will take you outside to sit on the swing."

   "Um... okay." The small headroom jumped off the ground, bouncing with one little foot!

A few clever little palace ladies stayed in the yard to play with him. Duke Qin turned back and looked at the old and haggard Queen Mother Chuang for several years, and said distressedly: "Queen Mother, don't take it too seriously. Now, that child has such a body, it is inevitable to have a weird temperament, and he just lost his father...it is inevitable that he will be emotional. Besides, his incomplete body, seeing a normal man, is somewhat uncomfortable in his heart. "

  On this point, Duke Qin felt so empathetic.

He is an eunuch, and his body is also mutilated. By this age, he naturally figured out everything that should be accepted, and accepted everything that should be accepted. However, when he saw a normal man in the early years, he would be jealous, hate, and unwilling. Will feel inferior.

  Huangfuxian is the same.

  Qin Chuyu didn't lie and the two knew that.

  Queen Mother Zhuang closed her eyes: "Ai's family is tired, please remember to ask someone to send Jingkong back later."

   "Yes." Duke Qin responded.

  Bixia Hall.

  The emperor returned to the Huaqing Palace first. Princess Ning'an and Huang Fuxian were sitting in Shu Ming's open bedroom. All the palace members were rejected by Princess Ning'an, and only Lian'er was with them.

  Huang Fuxian was sitting in a wheelchair, casually playing with a flower in a vase.

  Princess Ning'an sat down opposite him, looked at him for an instant, and said, "Xian'er, why did you do this?"

   "I like it." Huang Fuxian said, looking at the flower in his hand.

  Lian'er looked at her princess in fear.

  Princess Ning'an took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and said sternly: "Huangfuxian, this is not a frontier fortress, it's the palace. A little thing may make you head off."

  Huangfuxian pinched a petal: "Oh? Really? Who would dare to cross my majesty and the queen mother and chop my head?"

  Princess Ning'an looked at him steadily for a long time: "Huangfuxian, no one owes you, and your majesty and the queen mother will not always spoil you, you'd better put away your bad temper and don't be ignorant of the good fortune!"

Huangfuxian looked at Princess Ning’an sarcastically: "What if I don’t? Will you send me back to the border? Or just treat me as a remnant of the former Dynasty? Ah, I almost forgot, you are the princess of Zhaoguo. You can righteously destroy your relatives and abandon your husband. What is a crippled son in your eyes? It's better to get rid of my burden earlier, and you can choose a son-in-law to marry another!"

Snapped!

   Princess Ning'an slapped him on the face!

  Huangfuxian was beaten too far.

  Lian'er was so scared that Hua Rong was pale, she rushed to hug Huangfuxian, and said to Princess Ning'an: "Princess! Don't be like this!"

   "Get away!" Huang Fuxian didn't appreciate it, and pushed Lian'er away unceremoniously.

  Lian'er staggered a few steps and hit the table behind her, her back was blue.

  Huangfuxian’s slender fingertips wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth. He looked at the drop of blood, his lips twitched, and a sneer flashed through his eyes: "It’s a good fight, my mother."

  ...

  Gu Jiao went to the hospital today.

  The second owner almost came down with tears when she saw her. He ignored the many doctors and patients in the lobby. He held Gu Jiao's hand firmly and looked up and down for a while: "Xiao Gu, are you really okay?"

   "I'm fine." Gu Jiao said.

   "You lied! You didn't tell me if you were so sick! You were kidnapped by horsemen!"

The people in the   medical hall also went to the border, so they were able to bring back some of Gu Jiao’s news. For example, after Gu Jiao returned from Lingguancheng in self-isolation for seven days, Doctor Song knew that she had contracted the disease.

  Doctor Song will not hide from the second owner.

   was kidnapped by the consort, Dr. Song did not know.

  She did not say.

  Gu Changqing did not say either.

  She didn’t say it because she was too lazy to say it. Gu Changqing didn’t say it was probably because of her fame. Gu Changqing only reported everything truthfully in a letter to her Majesty.

  Apart from her and Gu Changqing, only Princess Ning’an’s master servant and Tong Yiguan knew about this incident.

  Gu Jiao's gaze crossed the medicine table and fell on someone who was grabbing medicine for the patient.

  Yomo felt Gu Jiao’s gaze, Doctor Tong turned around, smiled brightly at Gu Jiao, and waved: "Doctor Gu!"

As one of the heroes who saved the princess Ning'an, the medical officer    entered the capital because the emperor wanted to give him a face-to-face reward.

  But he doesn't live in the Royal Post, so he wants to come to the hospital to do miscellaneous things for free.

   "Doctor Gu!"

  He finished grabbing the medicine for the patient and walked over with a smile on his face, "You left the army and left that day. I have always been worried about you."

   "Hmm." Gu Jiao replied indifferently, "Thanks for your hard work."

   was talking about his miscellaneous work and not receiving monthly money.

  Doctor Tong waved his hands hurriedly: "No hard work, no hard work!"

  He glanced behind Gu Jiao.

  Gu Jiao knew what he was aiming at and said, "In the basket."

  Tong doctor's eyes lit up.

  Gu Jiao said again: "I won't let you touch it."

  Child doctor: "..."

  There are not many patients who come to see the doctor during the Chinese New Year, and there are no intractable diseases that Gu Jiao needs to deal with.

  Gu Jiao went to Liu Yisheng’s house in the afternoon.

  She did not go on New Year’s Eve. She went on the first day of the new year, except that Liu Yisheng was not there, and Anu and the elderly mother were not there.

  Gu Jiao knocked on the door of Liu's house again.

   Surprisingly, there is still no response.

   "Is there no one again? Did you go out again, or has there been no one these days?"

Gu Jiao listened quietly to what was happening inside. Liu Yisheng's identity was special. Too many people in the capital wanted to bully him. Gu Jiao wasn't sure if something had happened to him. She grabbed the tree trunk with her left hand and pulled it over the wall. .

  There is snow in the yard, and there are no unfamiliar footprints.

  The courtyard door is a latch inserted from the inside, and the outside is not locked, but if you go through the hall to the back door, you will find that the back door is locked from the outside.

  So they really went out.

  There was a little dust in the house, but there was no sign of fighting.

  Gu Jiao basically ruled out the possibility of Liu Yisheng being abducted.

  Gu Jiao thought for a while, she still took out her notebook and left a note for him, asking him to come back to the hospital to look for her, and she had something to bring him.

  After leaving Liu Yisheng’s house, Gu Jiao went to Qinghuan Chess Club again.

  She is not going to play chess, but she wants to touch the figure of the old beggar nearby.

  She left in a hurry and didn't say goodbye to the old beggar, and she didn't know how he was doing.

  He looked around on the street where the old beggar had been haunted before, but he didn't see the old beggar.

  Suddenly, a scholar came out from the Qinghuan Chess Club on the opposite side, and she stopped the opponent: "This brother, have you ever seen an old beggar who is playing chess on the other side?"

  Gu Jiao is accustomed to dressing up in men's clothing at the border, and she is also in men's clothing when she goes out today.

  Being with Gu Chengfeng for three months, she learned some pseudo-phonic techniques, which is not very pleasant to say, but her juvenile voice can barely fool the layman.

  The scholar was very knowledgeable, and was not frightened by the boy's face. He said in a good manner: "Oh, you said that person, he is gone!"

  "Are you gone?" Gu Jiao was startled slightly.

"Yeah, I haven't seen him for more than two months! Didn't you leave? What is it? Ah, maybe..." I skipped a few words and said directly, "He is getting older, and this year it has snowed so much in Beijing, you know."

"Ok."

  Gu Jiao understands.

  The sky was freezing, a helpless old beggar, maybe on a cold and windy night, he froze to death in the street.

  This is the scholar’s ​​guess.

   is not Gu Jiao's.

  The old beggar can earn money, and he won’t die from starvation or freezing.

  Of course, murder or accident is not ruled out.

   "Should not be so unlucky, right?"

  Gu Jiao murmured.

   "What did you say?" the scholar asked.

  Gu Jiao said: "Nothing, thank you, goodbye."

"Hey—" The scholar couldn't stop Gu Jiao, and scratched his head with a confused expression. "It's strange that someone will come to find out the whereabouts of a beggar during the New Year's Eve? By the way, that beggar seems to be really good at playing chess. He also won the Maoshan layman of the Qinghuan Chess Club."

  "Hey, what is this doing to me?"

  The scholar shook his head, wrapped the cotton jacket tightly, and walked through the snow-covered street.

  ...

  Coincidence in the world is so bizarre. It has to be there or not, as if an appointment has been made.

  Gu Jiao walked on the quiet streets without hesitation. The capital is the most prosperous place in Zhaoguo, but the streets during the Chinese New Year are still deserted.

  It takes a long time for Gu Jiao to see one or two carriages passing by.

  Gu Jiao didn't care, and walked forward sullenly.

  However, when passing by an alley, a very noisy sound came from the other end of the alley.

  Gu Jiao looked intently, showing the direction of Xianleju.

  Gu Jiao and Xianleju are not too familiar, but only to investigate some things a few times.

  Jing Taifei was probably the owner of Xianleju. After Jing Taifei died, Gu Jiao stopped staring at Xianleju.

  But what will happen to Xianleju?

  Gu Jiao paused before walking towards Xianleju.
