The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 603 Alone (Part 2)

Xiao Heng didn't know about Princess Xinyang, but there seemed to be an unspeakable tacit understanding between father and son.

The old concubine Liang came, but was kicked out by Xuan Pinghou.

This information is enough.

Xuan Pinghou looked confused, but he would never mess around in Princess Xinyang's territory, not to mention that the other party had such a noble status.

In the past, Princess Xinyang was always protecting him. Now that he has grown up, it is his turn to protect Princess Xinyang.

The father and son have a high degree of agreement on this issue, that is, no one can bully Princess Xinyang, not even the late emperor's uncles and uncles.

The old Concubine Liang was beaten up, and she will definitely send someone to the palace to file an imperial complaint.

Xiao Heng didn't stop doing anything, and directly led people to surround the old Liang Wang's mansion. The reason was that someone intended to misbehave the royal family, and the Ministry of Punishment was ordered to protect the old Liang Wang's family.

And for their safety, it is best for no one to leave the house until the assassin is caught.

"You are under house arrest!"

At the gate of Prince Liang's Mansion, Nanny Gui said to the officers and soldiers of the Ministry of Punishment angrily.

Li Shilang cupped his hands and said politely: "This mother is serious. The old Liang Wang is His Majesty's uncle. How dare we put his family under house arrest? This is not because the Ministry of Criminal Justice received a report saying that the old Liang Princess was attacked and injured halfway. We are also thinking about the safety of the old Concubine Liang, the prince, the concubine and others."

Nanny Gui said angrily, "What assassin! It was the Marquis of Xuan Ping who did it! Hurry up and catch that thief!"

Li Shilang said strangely: "Xuan Pinghou is a hero who draws his sword to help when he sees injustice. He is the one who drove away the assassin. Is Mammy confused?"

"you!"

Nanny Gui was stunned.

The murderer was obviously Xuan Pinghou, but why did he become a hero!

Is there such a reversal of right and wrong!

Naturally, the old Concubine Liang would not give up. At any rate, she grew up in the capital, her official position is gone, her foundation is still there, and she will always find a way to pass on the news.

It's a pity, Xiao Heng went to Kunning Palace to say hello earlier, Empress Xiao would not let those people have the opportunity to send the news to the palace.

"His Majesty."

Empress Xiao went to Huaqing Palace, "I heard that the old Concubine Liang was assassinated in the street, and it was the concubine's brother who rescued her. She was slightly injured, but it shouldn't be a problem. The concubine's brother has already gone to arrest the assassin. "

The emperor frowned and said, "How could there be an assassin to assassinate the old Princess Liang?"

Empress Xiao said calmly: "Who knows? The assassination happened outside Princess Xinyang's house.

Maybe the assassin wanted to target Princess Xinyang. Your Majesty, do you still remember those Yan people? Could it be that the remnants of their party have not been eliminated, so they came to seek revenge on their elder brother? It's just that it happened that the old Concubine Liang was present, so she was accidentally injured? "

The emperor said thoughtfully: "It's also possible."

Empress Xiao's eyes flickered, and she said with a smile: "I'm not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. The Ministry of Punishment has already protected Prince Liang's Mansion. Ah Heng will pay close attention to the movement of Prince Liang's Mansion. Don't worry about it, Your Majesty."

The emperor nodded: "I can rest assured that Ah Heng is doing business."

Empress Xiao pursed her lips, held back a smile, and said: "The concubine sent the imperial doctor and Eunuch Su to Liang Wang's mansion to take care of the old Liang Wang Concubine."

The emperor praised: "You are really meticulous and thoughtful."

Empress Xiao smiled brightly.

Isn't it thoughtful?

Not only are you under house arrest, but they also monitor you.

Empress Xiao actually didn't know what happened, but the trust between family members was unconditional, and she would not let anyone have the opportunity to discredit her brother in front of His Majesty.

Wait, it looks like her brother did do it.

Forget it, her brother can bully others, but others can't bully her brother.

...

There were so many patients today, Gu Jiao stayed in the clinic all day, and finally got some free time near the evening.

She returned to the small courtyard, checked Mo Qianxue's injuries first, and then checked Hua Xiyao's.

Mo Qianxue was injured earlier than Hua Xiyao, but she was also seriously injured, and has not recovered yet. On the contrary, Hua Xiyao's wound has already been removed, and the reason why she is still here is because she does not want to go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to go to jail.

"Why are you so helpless today? Do you have something on your mind?" Sitting on the bed, Mo Qianxue asked Gu Jiao.

She is still in the same room with Hua Xiyao, and Hua Xiyao sleeps in a small bed.

Gu Jiao asked, "Do I have any?"

Mo Qianxue looked at her and said, "Yes, you have frowned three times since you came in."

Gu Jiao didn't notice it herself.

Hua Xiyao chuckled: "Doctor Gu has just saved the Seventh Prince and made a great contribution, what is there to be sad about? Could it be... that you had a fight with your husband, right?"

Gu Jiao looked at her suspiciously: "How do you know?"

Hua Xiyao thought in her heart, I guessed wildly, who would have guessed it right!

Mo Qianxue suddenly sat up straight, coughed lightly, and asked, "Aren't you two on good terms? Why? Are you arguing?"

After living for so long, of course she is fully aware of the relationship between Gu Jiao and Xiao Liulang. She really didn't expect that, that guy said in Yan country that he would never marry for life, but turned around and pretended to be Xiao Liulang and married a Zhao. Country girl.

I don't know what he thinks.

Didn't it mean that my life is not long, so I can't harm other girls?

Could it be that he is greedy for Gu Jiao's medical skills, so he would rather sacrifice his luster?

No wonder she saw that his body was much stronger than when he was in Yan Kingdom.

Mo Qianxue's thoughts went astray.

Gu Jiao shook her head: "There was no quarrel, it's just that he ignored me."

"puff--"

Hua Xiyao laughed even worse, "I'm still willing to talk to you after a fight, but I don't talk to you anymore, it shows how dangerous your relationship is!"

"Really?" Gu Jiao didn't understand this.

Mo Qianxue hurriedly said, "Don't bother! Don't bother him!"

"But I want to talk to him." Gu Jiao said seriously.

Mo Qianxue's face darkened instantly.

Hua Xiyao laughed so hard that her branches trembled.

Mo Qianxue was not happy, but she was happy.

Mo Qianxue was not happy that the couple were close to each other, so she wanted to help them get back together!

Hua Xiyao sat on her small bamboo bed, shook the round fan in her hand, and said with a charming smile: "Why don't you tell me what happened to you?"

Gu Jiao was arranging the small medicine box. Hearing this, she paused and told what she had done for Liu Yisheng.

Except that Liu Yisheng's name was not mentioned.

Hua Xiyao said: "So you mean, your husband-in-law has never heard you play the piano, but you played it for other men?"

"Humph!"

Mo Qianxue angrily slammed the pillow on the bed!

Gu Jiao: Why does it feel like the backyard is on fire again?

Gu Jiao thought for a while: "It seems so."

Hua Xiyao said with a smile: "Of course he is angry, he is afraid that he has fallen into the vinegar vat right now, ten jars of old vinegar are not enough to drink!"

Gu Jiao murmured: "Is it so exaggerated?"

Hua Xiyao shook her cattail fan and said, "It's okay though, the young couple are fighting at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed. When he comes back at night, you just need to coax him more."

"How to coax?" Gu Jiao asked.

"Do you still need me to teach this? You are a young couple!" Hua Xiyao gave Gu Jiao a look, seeing that she was still confused, Hua Xiyao covered it with a cattail fan, and whispered, "He usually My favorite..."

"Hua Xiyao, shut up!" Mo Qianxue threw a pillow over her!

Hua Xiyao sideways dodges, she has finished speaking anyway.

But Dr. Gu's reaction was not quite right.

Hua Xiyao frowned and said, "You don't even know which... he likes the most? Have you two consummated the marriage?"

Gu Jiao's eyeballs rolled around.

Hua Xiyao's eyes widened: "Is it true that there is no consummation? I heard that he used to be crippled! Could it be that his leg is also broken, so he can't?"

Gu Jiao said seriously: "He can do it!"

Hua Xiyao's eyes were sharp: "You didn't answer the first question! You two really haven't consummated the marriage! There is only one possibility for a man not to consummate the marriage with his wife and that is - him! No! OK! Or... he thinks you are ugly !"

"You're ugly!" Mo Qianxue grabbed another pillow and threw it at Hua Xiyao.

This time with some internal strength, Hua Xiyao didn't dodge, and was hit so hard that her head buzzed.

Hua Xiyao rubbed her head and gasped: "Mo Qianxue, you must be sick!"

Mo Qianxue showed the silver needle, and said coldly: "Hua Xiyao, if you talk nonsense again, I will cut your tongue off!"

Hua Xiyao couldn't beat Mo Qianxue, so she could only roll her eyes back.

However, when Gu Jiao packed up her things and walked past her, she pulled Gu Jiao's sleeves indiscriminately, covered her face with a round fan, and whispered to Gu Jiao, "I'll teach you a way to make sure you coax good him."

Xiao Heng went to the Hanlin Academy after dealing with the matter of the old Princess Liang.

He has spent too many days in the Ministry of Punishment recently, and he has neglected the official duties of the Imperial Academy.

He was so busy that he didn't come out of the duty room until the next duty.

He was a little bored today, and wanted to go out for a walk, but as soon as he got to the door, he heard a familiar voice calling him: "Liu Lang!"

He turned around in surprise, but it was Feng Lin who happily jumped down from a carriage.

Feng Lin returned to Youzhou together with Lin Chengye a few years ago, and was supposed to return to the Hanlin Academy at the beginning of the year, but it was said that there was an urgent matter at home, so he took another month's leave.

Xiao Heng walked towards him, Feng Lin also ran towards Xiao Heng, and the two stopped on the bluestone path in front of the Imperial Academy.

Feng Lin patted Xiao Heng on the shoulder: "Long time no see, you have grown taller again!"

"Have you?" Xiao Heng said, "You seem to be getting stronger."

"That's it!" Feng Lin was in high spirits.

Xiao Heng originally planned to go for a walk alone, but since a friend came, it would be good to go out together: "You came just in time, I..."

Before he finished speaking, Feng Lin turned back to the carriage and said, "Lady! Get out of the carriage and meet Liu Lang! He is the number one scholar I told you about!"

Xiao Heng was taken aback, lady? Is Feng Lin married?

"I asked for leave just to get married. I didn't know why my parents were so anxious to let me go back for the New Year until I went back. They told me about a marriage..." Feng Lin explained with some embarrassment.

A young lady alighted from the carriage, she looked like she belonged to a wealthy family from her clothes, and she behaved decently.

"It's a daughter of one of our employees." Feng Lin whispered, "The surname is Hu."

Feng Lin's family was poor, but he was awarded two Jinshi in high school and successfully stayed in the Imperial Academy to study. The local officials saw his potential and married their daughter to him.

Hu Shi and Xiao Heng greeted each other: "I have met Mr. Xiao."

It was a woman with pure eyes, Xiao Heng bowed his hand in return.

Seeing that Mrs. Hu was physically and mentally exhausted, Feng Lin hurriedly said to Xiao Heng: "We have been driving for several days, my wife is tired, I will take her back to the house to rest, and then I will catch up with you later!"

Xiao Heng never expected that Feng Lin would go alone and come back with two people. Seeing the appearance of the two of them, they were clearly newlyweds, and their relationship was very strong.

After Feng Lin sat in the carriage, he opened the curtain and said to Xiao Heng: "By the way, Lin Chengye is also married! He will come back one month later! It seems that his father said that he is very smart, and he has to leave a few more queens for the Lin family. I guess So next time he comes to the capital, there will be three people."

One for Lin Chengye, one for his wife, and another for his wife.

Xiao Heng felt as if he had been shot in the knee by an arrow.

"Hey, Rokuro, haven't you gone back yet?"

Ning Zhiyuan came out from the Imperial Academy, looked at the carriage in the distance, and said, "Who is it?"

Xiao Heng said: "It's Feng Lin, he has returned to Beijing."

Ning Zhiyuan smiled and said: "Yo, I'm finally willing to come back, what about the kid surnamed Lin?"

"You mean Lin Chengye?" Xiao Heng said, "He will come back next month."

"Oh."

Xiao Heng really wanted to find someone to have a drink or two, and panicked in his heart: "Brother Ning, do you want to go for a walk?"

Ning Zhiyuan should be fine. He has been married to his wife for many years and their children are grown up. An old couple's mouth will not be as sticky as that of a young couple.

Unexpectedly, Ning Zhiyuan scratched his head, and said with a chuckle: "I'm afraid I won't be free today, my wife is happy, I have to go back to accompany her."

Xiao Heng, who cooked three bowls of dog food in a row: "..."

Xiao Heng was really panicked in his heart.

After Ning Zhiyuan left, he took a deep breath for a long time, turned around and planned to walk back, when suddenly, a carriage stopped in front of him.

The masked coachman jumped out of the carriage and saluted Heng Xiao: "Maybe this is Mr. Xiao from the Imperial Academy? My master is here to invite you."

Xiao Heng looked at him speechlessly, I don't know if you are wearing a mask, are you a mistress?

Change the carriage?

The third son thought he was pretending well and said, "I wonder if Mr. Xiao will show you some face?"

Xiao Heng looked at him indifferently: "Okay, I appreciate your face."

Little Sanzi: "..."

Is it that easy?

Shouldn't you ask who his master is? Did he memorize the rest of the words in vain?

"my home……"

The third son still decided to finish his lines, but Xiao Heng didn't bother to listen, and got into the carriage directly: "Let's go."

Little Sanzi: "..."

The third son drove to a gazebo on the outskirts of the city.

As night falls, the evening breeze blows slowly.

The gazebo is covered with hazy tulle, which flutters in the wind.

The lanterns hanging at the four corners of the gazebo emit faint candlelight, and under the reflection of the candlelight, a graceful and graceful figure sits behind the stone table, gently stroking the Guqin on the table with a pair of slender hands.

The third son wisely left the stage.

Xiao Heng stared blankly at the looming figure behind the tulle, and walked towards the pavilion step by step.

I have to say that this scene is really beautiful, people are in the scene, the scene is in the sound of the piano, the sound is touching and exciting.

Xiao Heng stood on the last step, and he could walk into the gazebo with one more step.

His heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

But at this moment, a gust of wind blew the tulle to his feet, and he stepped on it.

The tulle pulled the entire ceiling and smashed it down towards him——

He was knocked out on the spot——

Gu Jiao: "...!!"

To be honest, this ceiling is not heavy. The main material is tulle and several poles on which the tulle is hung, and only one of these poles is solid.

It happened that this solid stick hit Xiao Heng.

Gu Jiao raised her forehead: "What kind of luck is this?"

It was a quarter of an hour after Xiao Heng woke up. He was sitting on the stone bench of the gazebo, lying on the stone table of the gazebo.

The pavilion has been tidied up, even the Fuxiqin is gone.

Gu Jiao sat opposite him very obediently.

Xiao Heng touched his head that was still aching, looked around, and then looked at Gu Jiao: "You called me here just to beat me to death with one blow?"

Gu Jiao said seriously: "You don't need a pole to kill you, I can do it with one hand."

Xiao Heng: "..."

Gu Jiao picked up a box from the ground and put it on the table: "I'll show you something good. No one has seen this before. You are the first one."

When Xiao Heng heard that he was the first one, his eyes moved, but he still had a casual look on his face: "I don't care."

"It's fun." Gu Jiao said.

She opened the box and took out a small bamboo tube with a strange thread at one end.

She asked: "Is there any fire book?"

Xiao Heng took out the fire folder from his pocket and handed it to her.

Gu Jiao pulled off the hat of Huozhezi, blew on Huozhezi, and ignited the thread ends of the bamboo tube.

Immediately after she threw the bamboo tube out, there was a loud bang, and the bamboo tube exploded!

Xiao Heng was slightly taken aback: "This is...explosive...bamboo?"

No, firecrackers are bamboo, but the one just now is obviously not.

There was a strong smell of black gunpowder in the air.

Gu Jiao bent her lips and said, "This is a firecracker! It's made of black powder, but the ingredients are not exactly the same. It won't vibrate and explode, so it must be ignited! Do you want to try it?"

Xiao Heng looked cold: "What is there to try?"

Gu Jiao raised her eyebrows and said, "Are you afraid of getting blown up?"

Xiao Heng said seriously: "How could I be afraid!"

"Here." Gu Jiao took a small bamboo tube and handed it to him.

Xiao Heng's fingertips trembled, and he took it boldly.

"There's also Huodezi." Gu Jiao said.

Xiao Heng held a firecracker in one hand and a firecracker in the other, and his throat slipped.

Gu Jiao said: "The fuse I made is very long, there is enough time to throw the firecrackers out."

Xiao Heng didn't order.

Gu Jiao came up behind him and grabbed his two hands that were so stiff that they were so stiff: "This way..."

Gu Jiao guided him to light the firecrackers: "Quick, throw them out!"

Xiao Heng threw it violently, bang!

The firecrackers exploded!

Xiao Heng's eyes widened instantly.

Men have absolutely no resistance to things like firecrackers.

Gu Jiao handed him another one.

One, one, and another.

Someone is getting carried away.

When there was only the last firecracker left, Xiao Heng was overjoyed, lit the fuse, and threw the firecracker out——
