First Lady of the Crown Prince

Chapter 774 Auntie is here (Second update)

 At midnight, with the crescent moon hanging high in the sky, the Renshou Palace was completely silent.

On the phoenix bed, Empress Dowager Zhuang woke up from her sleep with excitement.

 She opened her eyes and saw the familiar tent roof. She was in a trance for a moment.

"Queen Mother, what's wrong with you?" Eunuch Qin, who was on duty outside the door, heard the noise and hurriedly opened the door and came to the Queen Mother Zhuang's bed.

He opened the curtain and hung it with the hanging hook.

This year's summer was not as hot as in previous years, and there was an ice basin placed in the bedroom. Eunuch Qin only felt cool when he came in, but Queen Mother Zhuang was sweating all over.

 Empress Dowager Zhuang gasped in shock.

Eunuch Qin looked at her worriedly: "Queen Mother, did you have a nightmare again? Did you...dream about Miss Gu again? I just seemed to hear you calling Miss Gu's name."

 Empress Dowager Zhuang lifted up the thin silk quilt on her body. Duke Qin knew that she was about to get out of bed, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand to help her.

Empress Dowager Zhuang took his hand and sat up. Eunuch Qin was about to kneel down and help her put on her shoes. She waved her hand: "Okay."

 She has no one to take care of her in Bishui Hutong, she still has to work, she is used to it.

 Empress Dowager Zhuang walked to the window wearing her shoes.

Eunuch Qin put down the curtain, walked over, opened the window, and lit a piece of incense that Gu Jiao made before leaving.

 Empress Dowager Zhuang looked at the stars in the sky and the lonely crescent moon, and sighed sadly: "I have been gone for so long, and I don't know what the situation is like over there? Did that child Gu Yan survive?"

Eunuch Qin said with a smile: "Young Master Gu is a lucky man, and he will definitely be able to turn disaster into good luck. What's more, Miss Gu and Mr. Xiao are by his side. Isn't the Queen Mother worried about their abilities?"

Empress Dowager Zhuang's eyes were distant: "The State of Yan is an unshakable mountain, and an individual's ability is insignificant and ridiculous in front of this mountain. But even so, these two children will not give up, right?"

 What is the Queen Mother...saying? Why can’t he understand it clearly?

 Empress Dowager Zhuang said calmly: "How ridiculous is it that a mayfly shakes a tree?"

Eunuch Qin became more and more confused the more he listened.

 Empress Dowager Zhuang looked in the direction of Yan State: "The Ai family has been dreaming about bad things these days."

Eunuch Qin asked respectfully: "What...did you dream about?"

Empress Dowager Zhuang said with lingering fear: "The Ai family dreamed that Jiaojiao fell in a pool of blood, fell on the land of the Yan Kingdom, and could never return to the Ai family."

Eunuch Qin said hurriedly: "You are too worried about Miss Gu. You think about her every day and dream about her at night! Besides, dreams are the opposite. You see blood in your dreams, and windfalls come from outside your dreams!"

 Empress Dowager Zhuang nodded thoughtfully: "That seems to be the case."

Eunuch Qin smiled and said, "Where can I coax you?"

Empress Dowager Zhuang still stared into the distance: "I remember I told you that Ai Jia was the legitimate daughter of the Zhuang family before she was sixteen years old. After that, she was the queen of Zhao State. She became the regent of Zhao State at the age of forty. All my life I have been living for the banker, for the court, and for the state of Zhao. At this age, the Ai family has few years to live, and the Ai family wants to live for themselves."

Eunuch Qin was so frightened by these words that he hurriedly said, "Queen Mother, you want to live a long life!"

 Empress Dowager Zhuang said calmly: "I don't want the thousand-year-old Aijia. The Aijia only wants to return to the Aijia's Jiaojiao."

 …

 Bishui Hutong.

 Lao Jijiu finished writing the last memorial and put it on the table and pressed it with an inkstone.

He took a long breath: "It should be gone, right? Everything that needs to be explained has been clearly explained... But it doesn't seem to matter much even if it is not explained clearly. Originally, it was not me who had to be in charge of the court."

 He is good at the thick and black science of officialdom.

When it comes to making people and things happen, he alone is better than thousands of troops. But to assist the emperor in governing the country, he still needs a talent like Yuan Shoufu.

“If I make any oversights, Lao Yuan will take care of it for Your Majesty, so I don’t need to worry about it here.”

 As the old Jijiu talked, he took out the already packed baggage from the cabinet.

 Finally, he picked up the document on the table that took more than a month to successfully forge, and said as if he was dead: "Aheng, my teacher is here to find you!"

 He put his luggage on his back and left the house.

Thunder rumbled in the sky, and it looked like it was going to rain.

 He had to go to the inn quickly, where the carriage and horses were already prepared.

 He took off the latch and carefully opened the courtyard door.

A bolt of lightning struck, illuminating the old lady's eerie little figure at the door.

 Old Jijiu was so frightened that he almost went to see the late emperor on the spot!

 Lao Jijiu swishly grabbed his three souls and seven souls back into his body, and said with fury: "Zhuang Jinse! What are you doing!"

Zhuang Jinse said expressionlessly: "I want to go too."

 Lao Jijiu's eyes flashed and he hid the baggage behind his back: "Go, go, go...what are you going to? Where are you going? I can't understand what you are saying in the middle of the night!"

Zhuang Jinse held the baggage in one hand and raised the kitchen knife with the other hand, his eyes full of murderous intent: "Take it with you or not? If you don't, I'll kill you."

 Lao Jijiu: “…”

-

Dayan, Guoshi Palace.

The king was very angry with the prince, and his headache became more and more severe. The master asked his disciples to boil a bowl of soothing and analgesic soup for him. After taking it, the king became dizzy and fell asleep under the effect of the medicine.

 Gu Chengfeng, who had washed off his disguise, was wandering in the corridor outside the secret room.

He said nothing, but he was so nervous that he bit his fingers.

Xiao Heng stood quietly opposite the secret room. Everyone in the Imperial Master's Palace had left. Even the two dead men guarding the secret room were standing outside the gate of Qilin Palace.

 Xiao Heng looked calm on the surface, but in his heart he was very worried about Gu Changqing's situation.

But the monarch arrived earlier than expected, and the rescue of Gu Changqing was also carried out earlier. There should be... hope of a cure, right?

"My eldest brother will be fine, right?" Gu Chengfeng said.

 This is the thirty-seventh time he has asked.

Xiao Heng answered him patiently as he had done thirty-six times before: "Believe in your elder brother, and believe in her."

Gu Chengfeng bit his finger and murmured: "Well, yes, that girl is not good at other things, but her medical skills are okay. She will definitely be able to cure my eldest brother. My eldest brother can survive it... Yes... My eldest brother is not married yet... We can't just leave it like this died…"

 Xiao Heng did not disturb his soliloquy.

 He looked at the dark clouds in the sky.

 The road they are going to take is an extremely difficult and dangerous road, full of unknown dangers, and everyone may be sacrificed at any time.

They were already very weak, and Gu Changqing's accident undoubtedly made their already weak camp even worse.

 Just to pull the prince down, he paid such a heavy price, it is foreseeable that the next road will be very difficult.

 But even so, they still have to go on without hesitation.

Three full hours passed before Gu Jiao finally came out of the secret room.

As soon as the iron door opened, Gu Chengfeng rushed in and said, "How is my elder brother?"

Xiao Heng walked in immediately.

Gu Jiao took away the small medicine box and closed the passage to another dimension. At first glance, the secret room returned to its previous empty state.

 But both Xiao Heng and Gu Chengfeng had seen the operating room when they sent Gu Changqing in.

　　is real.

 But it has truly disappeared.

 This was the first time that they felt the secret from Gu Jiao so clearly.

Gu Jiao said: "He is in the intensive care unit and is not out of danger yet."

Oddly enough, in the past, she could only see the operating room when she came in. There were several doors in the operating room. In the past, she could only open the door connecting the secret room.

Today another door opened, and behind it was an intensive care unit.

She guessed that with the recovery of her strength, the damaged brain waves had also been repaired to a certain extent, which allowed her to have more connections with the small medicine box, which also allowed the small medicine box to open more dimensions. .

"My brother will get better, right?" Gu Chengfeng had never looked at Gu Jiao with such pleading eyes.

Gu Jiao said: "I will do my best to treat him."

 Even if there is a glimmer of hope, she will not give up.

Gu Changqing, don’t give up yourself either.

I don’t want you to be a brick under my feet, I want to fight side by side with you.

 “How are you?” Xiao Heng asked Gu Jiao.

 Gu Jiao shook her head: "I'm fine, let's go out first."

“Hmm.” This was not the place to talk. Xiao Heng carried the sleeping Shangguan Yan out of the secret room.

Gu Jiao had to go back to the house and change her clothes before going back in.

 Gu Chengfeng is the last one.

He looked at Gu Jiao's back, which was obviously frail and slender but seemed to be full of endless power, and thought of the secrets in her that he could not understand.

 He opened his mouth and called to her.

 “Are you a **** in heaven?”

Gu Jiao paused, turned around and looked at the shadow on the ground: "Maybe it's just a demon."

Gu Chengfeng was stunned.

This road is very dangerous. I can walk on it alone. Don't come closer and don't make any more sacrifices.

"It doesn't matter!"

 Gu Chengfeng clenched his fists, looked at her back and said, "It doesn't matter whether you are a human or a ghost, a **** or a devil..."

"Aren't you afraid?" Gu Jiao stopped and asked him.

Her abilities and knowledge are beyond the understanding of people in this time and space, and it is easy for people to regard her as a monster.

Gu Chengfeng was extremely frightened in his heart, but he refused to give up: "How could the demon be injured? And it bleeds the same blood as us."

 Gu Jiao: "Really?"

Gu Chengfeng coughed lightly: "Hey, eldest brother is injured. I will protect you from now on."

Gu Jiao continued to walk forward, lightly twitching the corners of her lips: "Hit me first and then talk."

 Gu Chengfeng’s face darkened.

   There will be no double at the end of the month, so you don’t need to keep your monthly votes, you can vote now.
