Chapter 143
"Perhaps it's not luck." The Queen Mother murmured in a low voice, "She should know that this pastry is poisonous, so she thought of such a way to take it away."
Nanny Zhou was amazed, how did Miss Gu see it, is she so powerful.
"Send this pastry and chicken to the emperor." The queen mother said again,
"Someone wants to poison Ai's family in the name of the emperor. I don't know if the emperor wants to take the blame."
"Yes, Empress Dowager." Mother Zhou replied coldly, "Your servant will deliver it in person."
It's so hateful!
Once something happened to King Ning, all kinds of ghosts and monsters appeared in the harem. Let these little bastards see that their Compassionate Ning Palace is not easy to bully.
With this poisonous pastry, the harem will also be cleaned.
"Wait." The Empress Dowager stopped Nanny Zhou who was about to leave, and said again,
"Tell the emperor that Miss Gu is dedicated to the Buddha and does not want to marry anyone, so the matter of giving the marriage is over.
However, Ms. Gu has a predestined relationship with the Ai family, and is blessed to be able to prevent disasters for the Ai family and save the life of the Ai family. The Ai family wants to adopt her as a righteous daughter and ask the emperor to make her a county lord. The decree will be announced tomorrow. "
The queen mother believes that the trace of King Ning has not been found, and the crime has not been convicted, so the emperor does not want to see something happen to him at this time.
Because she is King Ning's weakness, a hostage used by the emperor to restrain King Ning.
If something happened to her, the emperor was afraid that he would anger King Ning and make him go on the road of rebellion.
As long as he is still in this deep palace, as long as she is still the queen mother, King Ning will not force the palace to rebel.
Therefore, Gu Xi, who saved her own life, has value in the eyes of the emperor. At this time, please make her a county lord, and the emperor will agree.
Gu Xi saved the lives of their mother and child. The queen mother felt that the position of county head was still too small, but she couldn't give a better one at the moment.
Nanny Zhou responded and left in a hurry.
However, just in case, the Empress Dowager sent her servants to the Zhongyihou Mansion with a bunch of rewards.
One is to inform the pastry that it is poisonous, and the other is to make up a reward to support Gu Xi.
After arranging these things, the queen mother said again, "Go to Kunning Palace."
The queen can't manage the harem well, making people's hands stretch so long, she wants to take this opportunity to discipline her.
As long as she doesn't contact foreign ministers and only cares about the affairs of the harem, the emperor will not care about her.
-
Loyalty Marquis Mansion.
Everything was as Gu Xi expected, when he learned that she refused to marry Queen An Jun, Hou Zhongyi was furious, and the old lady's face was also very ugly.
"You really don't know what to do! Since you want to be an aunt so much, I'll send you to the family temple now, and you won't have to come back from now on!"
Zhongyi Hou pointed at Gu Xi, and shouted at her with a red face.
He really didn't understand how his daughter, who was so smart and filial in the past and made him proud, became so ignorant and disobedient!
I just want to piss him off!
She was so disobedient and didn't deal with her severely, she didn't know to be afraid at all, and thought that she would manipulate her like before.
"Master, put the fire out first." Madam Hou stood up with a headache, "The queen mother likes Xi'er very much, you can't deal with her."
"I'm going to deal with my daughter, the queen mother even wants to intervene in this!" Zhongyihou was so angry that he didn't want to take the queen mother seriously.
"Master, be careful!" Madam Hou frowned, and explained to Master Hou and the old lady,
"The queen mother really likes Xi'er, she said she would support her, and even rewarded her with two plates of pastries."
"You still dare to sue the Queen Mother?" Zhongyi Hou looked at Gu Xi in disbelief.
"Why don't you dare." Gu Xi said indifferently, "Father has an opinion and thinks that his daughter is disobedient, so he can also sue the queen mother and ask her to discipline her."
"..." Hou Zhongyi.
She was so mad that he didn't finish.
"My sister doesn't even look down on the county king and prince. What kind of person does she want to marry? Could it be that my sister still misses Prince Lu?"
When Gu Rong heard that Gu Xi had refused, she was quite happy when she thought of the consequences she was facing, and she felt gloating.
"I'm not thinking about it, you don't need to say it if you are thinking about it yourself." Gu Xi glanced at her.
Gu Rong's face twisted for a moment, her small face was pale, and she said timidly, "How can my sister ruin my reputation just by speaking?"
"Did I say something wrong? You are eager to please Mrs. Lu, not to marry Lu Heng?" Gu Xi raised his eyebrows lightly.
Unfortunately, this road was blocked by her.
Yesterday, Lu Heng probably heard about the Sixth Prince and King An's proposal to marry her, so he came to see her, but she was too lazy to see her, so she directly refused.
Later, she heard Xia Zhi tell her that Xia Rong pretended to go for a walk, but actually took the initiative to meet Lu Heng, and the two talked for a while.
Gu Rong's face became paler and she hurriedly argued,
"No, I didn't, I met by accident..."
"No need to explain, I'm not interested in hearing about the two of you." Gu Xi lazily interrupted her, and said to Mrs. Hou again,
"Mother, I'm going back to the yard to pack my things first, and I'll move out in the afternoon."
After walking a few steps, Gu Xi turned around and said,
"Oh, by the way, the pastries brought back are not edible, they are offerings, so they should be enshrined in the ancestral hall. With this reward, the Xie family will not dare to suppress the Hou family for a while."
After finishing speaking this time, Gu Xi left, not caring about Master Hou and the others who had particularly ugly faces.
Master Hou lost his temper again, and the old lady was also very angry, but they really had nothing to do with Gu Xi.
-
"The queen mother just rewarded two plates of pastries, which means that she doesn't value Gu Xi very much. After a while, when this matter fades away, she will just marry Gu Xi away!"
After lunch, the old lady pondered for a while, then spoke again.
Marrying far away requires more dowry, and choosing a courtier with some real power or a relative of the emperor in the fiefdom is also an option.
Anyway, in the eyes of the old lady, such a fairy-like granddaughter couldn't just throw it in her hands and fail to marry.
No matter how you want to get some benefits back!
Otherwise, it would be in vain.
"..." Mrs. Hou.
Her mother-in-law is really old, her mind is not clear, and she still hasn't recognized the reality!
After so many troubles happened, she still wanted to sell Gu Xi for benefits.
"Mother, it's not that easy." Zhongyi Hou shook his head and frowned.
"That unfilial daughter doesn't listen to us at all now. If she doesn't want to, this marriage is tantamount to enmity."
Mrs. Hou glanced at her husband with satisfaction. His mind was still clear, and he finally understood the crux of the matter.
"However, Mother is right. The Empress Dowager should not pay much attention to that unfilial daughter. After the matter is over, punish her properly so that she understands that she can only rely on the Marquis Mansion, and she will have no confidence to make trouble again."
Lord Hou said again.
Madam Hou frowned again, thinking that with Gu Xi's ability, she didn't need to rely on the Hou Mansion at all.
On the contrary, the Hou family may need to rely on her instead.
Master Hou and the old lady couldn't see this clearly, so they still wouldn't change their attitude towards Gu Xi. What the two of them have done these days has ruined their past family relationship.
