Chapter 59 Night Trial, Deterring Palace People

The night was dark, and the wind and snow were flying.

Gu Qingluo was soundly asleep when she was suddenly awakened by Cui'er.

"Miss, it's not good! The Empress sent someone to invite you to the Prince's Mansion."

"Empress? Prince?" Gu Qingluo was a little puzzled, "Is something wrong?"

"The prince's decoction was poisoned, and now they say that you poisoned the Xuezhi grass." Cui'er was so anxious that she was about to cry.

A wave is flat, and a wave rises again.

Why is the big girl's life so rough?

"It's impossible for me to poison you." Gu Qingluo woke up from her drowsiness.

Cui'er asked: "Miss, this is obviously a frame-up. How about asking the old lady to come forward?"

"No, don't disturb grandma." Gu Qingluo said, "Who knows what happened in the middle of the night?"

"No! According to the elder girl's previous instructions, report anything to our courtyard first." Tweety said.

"very good."

Gu Qingluo breathed a sigh of relief, "I'll get up, and you ask someone to prepare the car."

"Miss, do I really want to go there?" Tweety asked uneasily, "Since someone has framed her and alarmed the Queen, if we go there like this, I'm afraid we'll fall into a trap..."

"If I don't go, I'm avoiding the crime." Gu Qingluo sneered, "It's okay, let's go, so that they don't disturb my mother and grandmother."

The corners of Cui'er's eyes twitched at the thought of the crying lady, and she hurried to prepare the car.

Gu Qingluo got out of bed to get dressed, tidied up a bit and then went out at night.

The confidant Song Eunuch sent by the queen is waiting outside Gu's mansion, ready for the next move: If Gu Qingluo is sick and sleepy and refuses to see anyone, he will lead someone to force his way in!

As a result, Gu Qingluo came out.

There are only two maids with me, not even a nursing home!
Eunuch Song was secretly surprised when he saw her calm and unobtrusive appearance.

After such a big incident, why didn't you ask Mrs. Gu for asylum?
"Eunuch Song, is Nanny Kong okay?" Gu Qingluo asked as they walked.

Eunuch Song was shocked: "Which Madam Kong is Miss Gu talking about?

"The one next to the emperor. Because of He Qinlan's matter, I worried about Madam Kong for a long time." Gu Qingluo said.

Eunuch Song's eyes flashed. As the confidant eunuch next to the queen, he certainly knew the ins and outs of Nanny Kong's incident.

But it turned out that Gu Qingluo was behind the scenes!
This girl is not easy!

Eunuch Song leaned back and said, "Nurse Kong is no longer on duty with the emperor, and was transferred to Shang Yi Bureau to teach the princesses etiquette."

"That's good too." Gu Qingluo secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

What happened to He Qinlan was that she entrusted Nanny Kong with her grandmother's favor.

Nanny Kong is really capable, she can still become a female officer in the Shangyi Bureau after killing He Qinlan.

"Miss Gu, please!" Eunuch Song made a gesture of invitation, and his attitude towards Gu Qingluo was not as arrogant as before.

"Let's talk while walking, I need to know the current situation of the prince." After Gu Qingluo got into the carriage, he opened the window.

Eunuch Song followed the carriage, and said as he walked, "The medicine the prince took before going to bed tonight is poisonous, and it almost killed the prince. The imperial physicians agreed that the toxin is in the Xuezhi grass presented by Miss Gu."

"The whole box is poisonous?" Gu Qingluo frowned.

"Yes." Song Gonggong said, "The crown prince has not woken up until now, and the empress is furious. She must investigate to the end."

"It's a pity that those Xuezhi grass..." Gu Qingluo sighed softly, "Have you asked Chu Yu to come and see it?"

"When my mother came, someone had already invited someone to the Prince Chen's mansion. I don't know if they have been invited."

Gu Qingluo took out a plum blossom order and handed it to Eunuch Song: "If you can't get it, you can use this order to try!"

"Plum Blossom Order?" Eunuch Song was taken aback.

Thanks to Prince Rui's blessing, now the whole capital knows that Gu Qingluo is the lord of Baimei Villa.

Once the Plum Blossom Order comes out, the entrusted task will be accomplished.

"Go!" Gu Qingluo closed the car window.

"Thank you Miss Gu!"

Song Gonggong was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered someone to send the plum blossom order to Chenwang's mansion.

There are charcoal basins and thick blankets in the carriage, which is very warm.

Cui'er was still worried that Gu Qingluo would catch the cold, so she stuffed a Mrs. Tang to hug her: "Girl, it's important to take care of yourself first."

"I know." Gu Qingluo nodded.

Is there someone behind Mu Jinshu?

She was worried that she couldn't let the person behind the scenes show up, so he was poisoned.

Compared to her who was just framed, that person is more nervous, right?

I don't know if he will show up tonight...

"Girl, Dr. Chu has superb medical skills, and he will definitely prove the girl's innocence." Tweety said forcefully.

Gu Qingluo asked amusedly: "Are you comforting me? Or comforting yourself?"

"Both." Tweety frowned.

If she can't get rid of the crime, what will the queen do with the eldest girl?
I hope that the note she left in the room can be seen by the old lady sooner.

I hope that Chu Yu can come sooner to prove that Xuezhicao is not poisonous.

She didn't know that Gu Qingluo's plum blossom order was not for seeking medical treatment.On the contrary, she didn't want Chu Yu to appear too early.

The carriage was supposed to drive quickly in the snowy night and arrive at the Prince's Mansion as soon as possible, but Eunuch Song told the driver to focus on safety.

The corners of Gu Qingluo's lips twitched: Look, Eunuch Song has been suppressed by Madam Kong's matter!

Therefore, when Gu Qingluo arrived at the Prince's Mansion, it was Yin time.

The Prince's Mansion was brightly lit and the atmosphere was tense.

Gu Qingluo went in, first performed the emperor's ceremony to Empress Li, and then asked: "Your Majesty, what poison did the Crown Prince suffer from?"

Queen Li glanced at Eunuch Song, and Eunuch Song lowered his head silently, admitting that he had revealed the whole story in advance.

Empress Li said with a sullen face, "The poison was sprayed on the Xuezhi grass you gave me, don't you know what poison it is?"

"Your Majesty, the servant girl sent the medicine only because she sympathized with the poverty of the prince's family, and she couldn't even afford the medicinal materials for curing the disease. A box of Xuezhicao is worth tens of thousands of gold. If the servant girl wants to poison, she can just send a few sticks. There is no need to catch so many Xuezhi grass.

Moreover, if the crown prince has something to do, Prince Rui will definitely gain power.Given the current situation of the courtiers, how could they possibly harm the Crown Prince if they were afraid that Prince Rui would gain power? "

Gu Qingluo was neither humble nor overbearing, and she didn't panic in the slightest. Everything she said made sense.

Empress Li said: "What you said has some truth, but the facts speak louder than words. The toxin is on the Xuezhi grass. Since you delivered the medicine, the medicine has been kept by the crown princess, and no one else has the opportunity to touch it. It's not you, is it the crown prince?" concubine?"

Li Rong became nervous.

Will Gu Qingluo slander her in order to exonerate herself?

"Impossible." Gu Qingluo smiled slightly, and looked at Li Rong, "The Crown Princess and the Crown Prince have a deep affection and share weal and woe. They will never harm the Crown Prince."

Li Rong was startled, she never thought that Gu Qingluo would say such a thing.

"Then tell me, who injected the poison?" Queen Li asked.

Gu Qingluo spit out two words lightly: "Prince Rui."

Empress Li's complexion changed drastically.

"The empress did not torture the courtier's daughter, so she must have guessed in her mind. Madam, please rest assured, the courtier's daughter and Prince Rui are like fire and water, and it is absolutely impossible for him to bet on the Gu family to poison the crown prince." Gu Qingluo said.
