famous eldest daughter

Chapter 584
The sharp claws shone dazzlingly in the candlelight, like steel knives, grabbing Xiao Jingyu's head and face one by one. Suddenly, Xiao Jingyu, who had been arrogant and angry just now, screamed with disheveled hair.

"Quick, get it away!"

Qinghong took the opportunity to stand on one side, keeping a certain distance from Xiao Jingyu in order to avoid accidental injury, but did not move to save her. She only maintained her confession and kept her head down.

The other maids beside Xiao Jingyu had long been accustomed to everything starting with green and red. Seeing that green and red didn't move, they followed suit until Xiao Jingyu's hair ornaments were scratched by the manic cat and scattered all over the place. It was only later that he came back to his senses, his eyes passed over Qing Hong, and he pounced on Xiao Jingyu in astonishment.

The cat was like a crazy beast. Although it was only a small ball, when it got angry, a group of palace maids had nothing to do with her.

Qinghong looked at it coldly, sneering in her heart.

If Xiao Jingyu hadn't been really mean to others, how could these palace maids not be able to deal with a cat at this time? It's just that everyone didn't want to be at the forefront and didn't want to show their sincerity.

The cat was so crazy under the influence of the drug that no one would be afraid of its sharp claws.

Finally, when the time was right, Qinghong turned around, came in with a bucket of ice water, and poured the bucket of water on Xiao Jingyu's head.

Immediately, the frantic cat suddenly fell to the ground, and the dying Xiao Jingyu collapsed with it.

Her miserable condition was much more miserable than Cui Wei, the queen's personal maid at the banquet.

The cat at the banquet kept attacking Cui Wei's belly, but Qing Hong sprinkled the powder on Xiao Jingyu's hair ornaments. The cat did not attack anywhere else, but only held her head and refused to let go, even scratching her. With bite.

Soon, the story of Hehuan Palace spread throughout Hegong.

Concubine Hui was having dinner when she heard about it, and when she got the letter, she was in a good mood and asked the maid to add another bowl of rice. It turned out that this was the three days of peace that Gu Yuqing had planned for Qinghong.

The body and mind were traumatized, and a basin of ice water was poured over her head. Next, Xiao Jingyu was afraid that she would have to stay in bed for more than three days.

If she can stay awake for three days, that's considered good.

These three days were enough for her to arrange for Qinghong to leave the palace.

In the imperial study room, the emperor was sitting in a large wooden chair, his eyes closed tightly, rubbing his eyebrows, thinking about today's events, with a feeling of powerlessness on his face.

Suddenly hearing that the chief chamberlain was anxiously reporting what happened to Xiao Jingyu, the emperor's hand rubbing his eyebrows suddenly paused, but his eyes did not open. However, his movements only paused for a moment. The next moment, he continued to rub. Between the eyebrows.

"Let the imperial doctor show her."

No more words.

Even though he had served the emperor for several years, at this moment, the head chamberlain could not get a glimpse of the emperor's thoughts from his face.

Just follow orders.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed. In these three days, just as Concubine Hui expected, Xiao Jingyu got up to torture Qinghong and fell unconscious on the bed, but she didn't even have the strength to open her eyes.

Qinghong was originally a palace maid of appropriate age, the queen was under house arrest, and Concubine Hui presided over the harem. Among the palace maids who were released, her name was added to the list, which was really impeccable.

Just as a precaution, when Xiao Jingyu was unconscious, Concubine Hui consulted the emperor for his opinion. After receiving the emperor's nod, she personally wrote Qinghong's name on the list.

Gu Yuqing had already bought a house in the capital. In order to avoid being noticed, the people from the Chinanhou Mansion could not come to the palace gate to greet him in person. They could only put it aside for the time being and wait until everything was settled in the future to gather together again.

Qinghong worked for the Chinanhou Mansion for several years in the palace, and finally got rid of the place that eats people without spitting out their bones.

Four days later, Zhou Bingde and Ruyi, who had been secretly investigating the milk incident, finally got something and brought substantive news to Gu Yuqing.

On this day, the weather was blue, but extremely cold. Gu Yuqing couldn't stand the biting cold air, so she had someone raise an earth dragon in the house early.

After the discussion in the flower hall, they returned to the house with Jixiang. Ruyi attracted Zhou Bingde to report. Also coming in with them was a fair and fat middle-aged man. His originally pleasant facial features were filled with a hint of sadness. color.

Seeing Gu Yuqing glance at the stranger, Ruyi immediately replied, "Miss, he is the last dairy merchant, Han Yuqi."

After being introduced by Ruyi, Han Yuqi knelt down and kowtowed three times to Gu Yuqing, "Thank you, Miss, for saving my life." As he spoke, the dignified man of seven feet shed tears.

Gu Yuqing immediately moved her eyebrows slightly and looked towards Ruyi, her eyes full of inquiries.

Ruyi reported back, "When my servant and Brother Zhou found him, two other men in black were looking for him. If we hadn't arrived in time, his whole family would have been killed."

Gu Yuqing suddenly realized the life-saving grace that came from his mouth. His eyes fell on Han Yuqi again and said: "Get up and speak."

Having just experienced a life-and-death disaster, Han Yuqi was still in shock. When he stood up, he felt a little top-heavy and his legs staggered.

"Is his house settled?" Asking someone to move a stool for Han Yuqi to sit down, Gu Yuqing looked at Ruyi and Zhou Bingde.

Zhou Bingde immediately said: "It's settled. The two men in black who went to kill them were originally planned by Miss Ruyi to be captured alive and brought back for interrogation. However, they actually had highly poisonous drugs in their mouths. They couldn't bear it with their eyes. They both bit off the poison and committed suicide."

When Gu Yuqing heard this, his heart suddenly trembled.

Poison in mouth?That's the dead man!
Who did it, in order to silence the dairy merchant, he did not hesitate to use dead soldiers? There are only a handful of families in Kyoto that can support dead soldiers.

Almost instantly, Gu Yuqing locked her thoughts on Xiao Yi.

The replacement of the dairy merchant was carried out under the sole control of the queen, and Xiao Yi and the queen were already one. In order to eliminate the queen's worries, Xiao Yi used his own dead men to kill the dairy merchant's family. This speculation is more than reasonable.

However, no matter how reasonable it is, it is just speculation.

After a moment of silence, Gu Yuqing turned to look at Han Yuqi again, "Do you know what happened when there were worms in the milk? Why didn't this matter come to the attention of the emperor, but was suppressed by the queen alone?"

After all, it is the emperor merchant, and he can be regarded as a person who has seen the world. Even though he was terrified in his heart and had to ask Gu Yuqing, he suppressed his emotions forcibly, and said: "What kind of bug, someone deliberately framed it."

"My family has been delivering milk to the palace for generations. I am already the fourth generation here. I have already figured out this way. How could I be so careless as to let insects fall into the things that are sent to the palace?"

"Framed?" Although she agreed with what he said, Gu Yuqing still said calmly and expressionlessly: "Who framed you, why framed you, and what good would it do her to frame you!"
