Chapter 185 The Fourth Prince Ping Wang

There are rumors outside that the former prince-in-law is a bit ungrateful. After hearing what Gu Hongchao said, Xiao Shu finally learned the lesson today.

But his face did not show any disdain for Gu Hongchao, and he said politely: "Young Master Gu, you are too polite. You need to take good care of yourself first. When you take good care of yourself, our family will find a suitable time to inform you." , Your Majesty has long wanted to see you."

Hearing what Xiao Shu said, Gu Hongchao's eyes suddenly burst into surprise, "Really?"

"Although our family is an eunuch, we never lie. But this place is just a residential house, and Young Master Gu may not be used to living there. Would you like our family to help inform Young Master Gu's parents to come and pick you up to recuperate. "

Gu Hongchao was not incapable of reading people's faces. He quickly realized that Xiao Shu disliked the trouble of taking care of him here. Since he was rescued by the fourth prince and had a relationship with the fourth prince, it was better not to cause trouble to others here and recover from his injuries. How could such a thing be done at home?

But what happened today cannot be told directly to his parents. If his parents knew about it, they would probably blame him for being reckless and unable to calm down.

After thinking for a while, Gu Hongchao said: "Then Lord Lao Xiao will send someone to Gu's mansion to deliver a letter to my concubine."

Although the Gu family recognized Bai Lingge as their main wife, when they first asked Bai Lingge to marry her, she was the side wife. After Qin Shuhuang divorced Gu Hongchao, the Gu family never recognized Bai Lingge as Gu Hongchao's first wife. .

In fact, there is not much difference between the side wife and the concubine, but the name is a little nicer.

At this time, Gu Hongchao specifically emphasized the title of Mrs. Side, which made Xiao Shu raise his eyebrows, but instead gave him a lower look.

"Yes, Master Gu, our family will take care of it right now."

In the Gu Mansion, Bai Lingge spent a lot of effort and gave a golden hairpin to Mrs. Gu. Mrs. Gu finally agreed to sell the food she had stored.

Because the sale was a day late, the original value of 500 taels of grain has dropped to 400 taels, but it has not been completely sold, and there is almost a quarter left, because the grain merchants dislike the poor quality of Gu's grain and refuse to sell it. Take it all.

But at least 300 taels of silver were recovered, allowing the Gu family to make an emergency response.

Butler Gu looked at the food that was brought back and suggested, "Madam, why don't you send the remaining food to your restaurant? The restaurant will reopen soon, and everything needs to be purchased. It's a good thing to save some money."

Bai Lingge thought Gu Gu's suggestion was a good one. Now we should save wherever we can. The Gu family couldn't be as lavish as before.

"Okay, you can have the remaining half of the grain transported to the restaurant and handed over to the shopkeeper, and tell him to use the grain when the restaurant opens in a few days."

Butler Gu took the order and left, and the maid hurried in to report, holding a letter in her hand.

The maid presented the letter to Bai Lingge, "Young Madam, the letter sent in by the concierge says it is for you, and it has the seal of Prince Ping's Palace on it."

Prince Ping's Mansion?
Bai Lingge was surprised and quickly took the letter and opened it to read.

When she learned that Gu Hongchao was injured and was rescued by King Ping's people, she was shocked and frightened. She hurriedly ordered people to prepare carriages and horses to go out, and personally took people to pick him up where Gu Hongchao was staying.

When Bai Lingge arrived, he found that the address given in the letter was an inconspicuous private courtyard.

The alley is deep, there are not many residents, and few people come and go.

The carriage stopped in front of a gray-walled courtyard. Bai Lingge ordered someone to knock on the door. After a while, a boy opened the door. Bai Lingge reported his identity and led the person directly into the courtyard.

After entering the simple house, the waiter led her and others into the room where Gu Hongchao lived in the backyard, and then left.

Bai Lingge hurried into the room dressed in a low-key but luxurious dress.

A half-open window in the dark was carefully closed.

Xiao Shu stood aside respectfully and listened to his master say: "Is this Gu Hongchao's wife who just came in?"

Xiao Shu said: "Yes, I have seen her several times in the dark. It is indeed her."

"Send someone to keep an eye on her and report everything to me in detail." "Yes, Your Majesty. What about Young Master Gu?"

The light from the doorway illuminated only half of the young man's face in the room, while the other half was hidden in the darkness. Looking from behind, only the outline of the man's profile could be seen, but his specific appearance could not be clearly seen.

Just listen to the young man say: "Fishing first, after all, he is the ex-husband of my queen, maybe it will be useful!"

In the small courtyard where Gu Hongchao was recovering from his injuries, Bai Lingge quickly walked to the bedside. Seeing Gu Hongchao's pale face, he felt distressed and said, "Hongchao, how are you?"

Gu Hongchao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Bai Lingge coming. He twitched his lips and said, "It's nothing serious, just some flesh wounds. I saw Xiao Naiguan next to Prince Ping, so the beating was worth it."

Bai Lingge was angry and helpless, and rolled her eyes at him, "In this case, do you still want to go back home?"

"Of course I do!"

Bai Lingge asked people to lift Gu Hongchao onto the carriage.

He did not elaborate on who beat him like this today. He did not want to lose face in front of Bai Lingge, but the resentment towards Qin Shuhuang in his heart deepened.

The young man observing in the dark watched the couple get into the carriage before riding away under the protection of the guards.

Princess Palace.

Even though he slept late last night, Qin Shuhuang still woke up at dawn.

Although I caught a cold and had a fever, I saw a doctor in time and took medicine. The fever had gone away the next morning. Even though my whole body was still weak and sore, I felt much better than yesterday.

Hearing the commotion inside, Shiyu came in to wait on her.

"Your Highness, it's still early, why don't you get some more sleep."

Qin Shuhuang shook his head, "I can't fall asleep even if I'm lying down, so I might as well get up and walk around. Maybe I'll get better faster."

Shiyu had no choice but to take her maid to dress Qin Shuhuang.

After eating a bowl of simple white porridge and a few side dishes in the morning, and then drinking medicine, Qin Shuhuang finally couldn't help it, coughed dryly and asked, "Is there any news from the next door?"

Shiyu shook her head.

Qin Shuhuang frowned, "The King of Zhenbei didn't come back?"

Shiyu said: "Our people didn't notice that the prince was back. I'm afraid he's still busy outside."

"Keep on staring."

"Yes, Your Highness."

In the afternoon, Song Yuan brought the Tang family and his wife back from the relief site.

Although the three of them have lost a lot of weight during this period, their eyes are as clear as a mirror and they are in good spirits.

Song Yuan returned to his yard, washed and changed his clothes, then came to see Qin Shuhuang and told her about the resettlement of the victims at the relief point. Because of early prevention, the disease was nipped in the cradle, so the flood was passed safely, and unexpectedly, It has not caused widespread disease.

Now the common people are gathered in several places where the houses are concentrated, and there is already a rudimentary market on the construction site. Many people who lived on small crafts before the disaster have started business on the construction site. He visited several construction sites. , I found that it was several times more lively than the usual county fairs!
After talking about the situation of the victims, Song Yuan soon discovered that Qin Shuhuang was not in good spirits. From his first pulse, he knew that she had contracted the cold due to being tired and busy.
