The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 361 Applying eye medicine (one more)

After the hat of the cloak fell off, she put it on quickly, and then was escorted by a man in black into a room hung with gourds.

Gu Jiao planned to follow, but just after walking a few steps, someone grabbed her by the shoulder.

Gu Jiao slashed with a knife in her backhand, but let the opponent grab her wrist.

"it's me!"

The other party also wore a mask like Gu Jiao, but the voice was too familiar to Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao put down the knife in her hand, and looked strangely at Gu Changqing who was dressed as a knight: "Why are you here?"

Gu Changqing put down his hands, looked around, and asked her: "I should ask you this, why are you here?"

Gu Jiao touched her mask, yes, how did you recognize her?

The corners of Gu Changqing's mouth twitched. He recognized her as early as when she fooled him into calling him daddy, okay?

Except for her, there is no one in this world with such a wicked taste.

"You haven't said, why did you come here?" Gu Changqing looked at her seriously.

This kind of place is not what she should come to, even if she knows how to do it, it is still too dangerous.

Gu Jiao paused, and said: "I said I was passing by and came in to borrow a toilet, do you believe me?"

Gu Changqing: "..."

Without waiting for Gu Changqing to respond to her, Gu Jiao asked bawlingly, "What about you? Are you here to borrow the toilet too?"

Gu Changqing said again: "..."

Many people looked towards Gu Changqing, their eyes were not unfamiliar, as if it was not the first time they saw him appear here.

"Why are they looking at you?" Gu Jiao asked.

"It's nothing." Gu Changqing grabbed Gu Jiao's wrist and led her into a room diagonally opposite.

Gu Jiao noticed that gourds were also hung on the door of this room.

That's great.

It's not like she broke in by herself.

The furnishings in the house are very simple, a screen, a bed, a pair of tables and chairs and some antique furniture, with a simple and heavy feeling, it is easy to make people feel chilled.

Gu Jiao was more curious.

Gu Changqing looked at her like a newborn calf not afraid of tigers, and shook his head helplessly, knowing that she came to the most dangerous place in Zhaoguo, but not knowing that she was just visiting the vegetable garden.

"sit down.

" Gu Changqing said, and he sat down on the chair by the table.

Gu Jiao sat down opposite him, looked around and looked at him: "Are you really here to borrow the toilet?"

Gu Changqing paused while pouring tea, the corner of his mouth twitched, and said, "I'm here to find someone."

Gu Jiao snorted: "What a coincidence, so am I."

Gu Changqing looked at her inexplicably: "Didn't you just say you came to borrow the toilet?"

Gu Jiao waved her hand: "It's almost the same."

Gu Changqing couldn't continue talking.

Gu Jiao usually doesn't talk much, but who let this underground martial arts field really arouse her curiosity, she asked: "What kind of place is this? Is it an ordinary martial arts field?"

ordinary……

Probably only this girl would think so.

Anyone who has really understood this place is at least a little apprehensive, if not frightened.

Gu Changqing put the poured tea in her hand, and said: "We mainly focus on martial arts competitions, but we also do some other business. Many people choose to come here to trade. First, it has good confidentiality, and second, it has high security. Take 20% of the profit."

Gu Jiao said: "Twenty percent? That's a lot."

If the transaction is 10,000 taels of silver, you have to pay 2,000 taels of silver to Wuchang.

Is it so profitable to open a martial arts field?

but--

What is that man doing here?

Is it to watch the competition or find someone to make a deal?

While thinking about it, bursts of excited roars and shouts came from outside.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

There are four arenas in the underground martial arts arena, east, west, north, and south. At this time, all four arenas have masters competing in martial arts, but the one with the most onlookers, the most ferocious betting, and the most fanatical voice is the east arena.

Coincidentally, their house is facing the East Arena.

Gu Jiao saw a shirtless muscular man pin down another master and beat him up, his face was ferocious, and he was merciless.

If this level of fighting continues, I am afraid that the opponent will be beaten to death.

If it was in the Taihe Martial Arts Hall, the competition would have been stopped long ago.

As if aware of Gu Jiao's doubts, Gu Changqing explained: "All the masters here have signed life and death certificates, and they are at their own risk."

This reminded Gu Jiao of the underground fighting arena in her previous life, which was full of blood and violence just like the underground martial arts arena, no one cared about the life and death of the fighters, they even hoped to see someone being beaten to death.

Gu Jiao was also one of the many fighters.

The youngest and the weakest one.

She was sent to the fighting arena by the godfather together with her companions. After half a year, Gu Jiao came out, and her companions stayed behind forever.

Gu Jiao looked at the cruel and violent scene on the ring, without the slightest emotion in her eyes.

"It's a person's clothes, so strange." Gu Jiao's gaze moved away from the east arena and landed on the south arena.

Gu Changqing looked around and said, "That's a Turkic man."

Gu Jiao murmured: "There are Turkic people here?"

Turkic is a big family outside of the Six Kingdoms. Although it claims to be a country, it has never been recognized by the Six Kingdoms.

It's just that the Turkic people are extremely brave and have produced many masters.

The Turkic master on the ring stunned his opponent, stomped his opponent's face on the ground with one foot, and raised his arms provocatively and ostentatiously, causing screams from the audience.

Gu Jiao's eyes fell on the master who was stepped on by him: "Is the one who was defeated also a Turkic? His clothes are also strange."

Gu Changqing's eyes narrowed slightly, and he obviously didn't agree with the behavior of the Turkic master: "No, that's a swordsman from the Zhao Kingdom."

Turkic master, Zhao Guo swordsman...

This underground martial arts field was beyond her expectations.

"Who were you following just now?" Gu Changqing returned to the subject.

Who said military commanders have no brains? From Gu Jiao's point of view, Gu Changqing's carefulness is not less than that of Gu Yan's trickster.

Just now, instead of chasing after her to ask questions, he gave her news for a long time, and then let her guard down before suddenly asking.

Forget it, there's nothing you can't say.

Gu Jiao said: "I seem to have seen Concubine Jing just now."

"Concubine Jing?" A hint of surprise flashed in Gu Changqing's eyes, "Why did she come here? Isn't she in the palace? Are you sure you read it right."

"Sure." Gu Jiao said.

She also knew that bad woman turned into ashes.

Gu Jiao continued: "She is wearing a cloak and looks sneaky, she should have left the palace secretly."

As Gu Jiao said, she waved her hand and pointed, "She entered that room."

Gu Changqing took a look and frowned.

"What's the matter?" Gu Jiao asked, "By the way, I forgot to ask you, what does it mean to hang a gourd on the door?"

Gu Changqing said seriously: "It means that in this martial arts field, you must never provoke him."

Gu Jiao snorted, but didn't take it too seriously, she said: "You also have a gourd on your door, how can you get it?"

Gu Changqing looked at Gu Jiao coldly: "You still want to do this? Be careful, I'll tell Liu Lang."

Gu Jiao: ...you are ruthless, you won.

Gu Changqing looked at the diagonally opposite room again, and said, "If I remember correctly, the current owner of that room seems to be a pharmacist."

Gu Jiao rubbed her chin: "Pharmacist? Doctor?"

Gu Changqing thought for a while: "It can be said that, but it seems inaccurate. Doctors save lives and heal the wounded, while pharmacists only refine medicine."

Gu Jiao thoughtfully said: "So why did Concubine Jing find a pharmacist? Is she sick? Or does she want to do something? Can we stop her?"

Gu Changqing vetoed it without even thinking about it: "Absolutely not! There are Dragon Shadow Guards beside her! Besides, aside from the Dragon Shadow Guards, the underground martial arts field also has its own masters, and they will not allow anyone to break the rules of the transaction in the martial arts field."

Gu Jiao hesitated for a moment, but did not give up: "Then...can you catch that pharmacist?"

Gu Changqing shook his head: "That's a pharmacist from the Yan Kingdom. There are so many masters around him, and it's not easy to get one."

"How do you know?" Gu Jiao asked.

Gu Changqing said: "I bought medicine from him and met his subordinates."

As for what medicine he bought, Gu Changqing didn't say anything.

Concubine Jing didn't stay in Yan State Pharmacist's room for too long, she came out from inside while the two were talking, she was covered tightly, even her walking posture was different from what she saw in the past .

If Gu Jiao hadn't told Gu Changqing that she was Concubine Jing, Gu Changqing might not have recognized her no matter what.

And the man in black next to her should be the Dragon Shadow Guard.

Neither Gu Jiao nor Gu Changqing thought that their legs could be faster than the Dragon Shadow Guard, so they gave up the idea of ​​going to the palace to expose that Concubine Jing was not in the palace at this time.

But Gu Jiao still went to the palace.

She had someone call Eunuch Wei to the Royal Garden.

"Miss Gu!" Eunuch Wei was overjoyed when he heard that Gu Jiao was looking for him, "Why did you come here? Did you come to see His Majesty?"

Ever since Miss Gu said she would never come to Huaqing Palace again, His Majesty has been depressed for a long time.

Gu Jiao shook her head: "No, I'm here to find Eunuch Wei."

"Looking for a slave?" Eunuch Wei was flattered.

Huaqing Palace has no doubts about Concubine Jing at present, so Gu Jiao is not in a hurry to give eye drops: "I want to ask Concubine Jing's recent situation. Wasn't she assassinated last time? I heard that she was injured. Is she better?"

Eunuch Wei sighed: "I'm still recuperating. The imperial doctor said that the concubine is getting old, and she might not recover from the shock for a long time."

Hehehe, I don't know who the old hag was walking like flying in the martial arts field just now.

Eunuch Wei snorted, and said, "Why does Miss Gu suddenly care about the concubine?"

Gu Jiao said without changing her face: "I know that she has a bad relationship with my aunt, so I am worried that someone will suspect my aunt?"

Eunuch Wei smiled: "Miss Gu, please rest assured, Your Majesty did not suspect the Queen Mother this time."

Of course Gu Jiao knew, she nodded: "That's good! If Concubine Jing is seriously injured, I can take care of her!"

Eunuch Wei was surprised again: "Miss Gu... didn't you say that you won't treat people in Huaqing Palace?"

Gu Jiao turned into a logic genius in a second: "But she has already moved out of Huaqing Palace!"

Eunuch Wei choked, this, this is okay?

Eunuch Wei went to report to the emperor.

The emperor thought that Gu Jiao was taking the opportunity to reconcile with him, and he didn't doubt Gu Jiao's motives at all, and said with a smile: "Okay, she will let me step down, and I will just come down."

Eunuch Wei: ...But why do I feel that Miss Gu doesn't think so?

The emperor was coming to the nunnery to have dinner tonight. Concubine Jing ordered the small kitchen to prepare a large table of Vegetarian Vegetables, but who would have expected that there would be an extra person beside the emperor when he came over.

"Miss Gu?" Dowager Jing was slightly taken aback.

"Ms. Taifei." Gu Jiao greeted.

The emperor said kindly, "My concubine's body hasn't healed yet, so I'll bring the little genius doctor here to show my concubine."

Concubine Jing smiled helplessly: "My body is already fine. It's all because the imperial doctor exaggerated, which made His Majesty worry. It's nothing, so don't bother Miss Gu."

Gu Jiao hurriedly said: "It's just a pulse diagnosis, don't bother."

The emperor was very satisfied with Gu Jiao's filial piety. He held Concubine Jing's hand and said, "Let the little genius doctor diagnose the pulse of the concubine mother. I can't believe everything the imperial doctor says. Let the little genius doctor read it, so I can see it." rest assured."

Concubine Jing couldn't refuse, so she had to sit on the chair and agreed to Gu Jiao's pulse diagnosis.

Gu Jiao caught Taifei Jing's pulse with three fingers.

There are internal injuries.

She didn't beat her internally last time.

Gu Jiao asked suspiciously: "Is the empress dowager assassinated again recently? Her tendons are all broken."

The emperor turned pale with shock: "Mother's concubine's veins are broken?"

Gu Jiaoyun said calmly: "It's just a few broken roots, minor injuries, not serious, but he should have vomited blood. Didn't anyone find out?"

The emperor suddenly remembered the night that the old Hou Ye eloped with Concubine Jing, he left angrily, and then his servants came to report that Concubine Jing had vomited blood.

Could it be... that was when Concubine Jing's tendons were broken?

But he hadn't heard that she had been assassinated—

Concubine Jing squeezed the handkerchief, and said: "My heart is stagnant and my tendons are hurt."

Gu Jiao raised her eyebrows: "Oh, the empress dowager don't hurt her own tendons in the future, it will hurt her body very much."

Concubine Jing's face turned pale, she glanced at the emperor, and said, "I didn't damage my tendons! It's because of anger...sadness!"

The emperor also thought it was impossible, otherwise? Why did Concubine Jing do this? Does making bitter tricks soften his heart?

His mother and concubine Jing are the most innocent and kind-hearted people in the world, and they don't understand these conspiracies at all.
