famous eldest daughter

Chapter 863 Missing
When the news about the imperial study room reached Xiao Yu and Gu Yuqing, the Queen Mother had just stood up and left. Xiao Yu was sitting on the embroidered pillar next to Gu Yuqing's bed, holding a small porcelain white bowl in one hand and ladling chicken soup in the other. A few mouthfuls, fed into her mouth.

"His wife Ming Lu was so smart that she used an old thing from Concubine Mei to lure Concubine Li in." Xiao Yu raised the corner of his mouth with a warm smile, and his voice was as soft as the sun. brocade.

Ever since Gu Yuqing woke up, Xiao Yu opened and shut up and called her: Ming Lu, his princess!

What is Minglu's princess, or his own princess... This Xiao Yu...

Gu Yuqing swallowed the smooth and delicious chicken soup in one gulp. Maybe it was because the chicken soup tasted so good or something, but it actually sounded pleasant to her ears.

Well, Ming Lu’s family’s princess… Ming Lu’s family’s princess…

The imperial doctor's medicine was suitable for her symptoms, and Xiao Yu was watching over her day and night, drinking nutritious soup every day, and the Queen Mother personally kneaded her arms and legs every day. In addition, the news from Canglan came one after another. Everything that came was good news. Gu Yuqing's recovery from her injuries was extremely fast.

Today, her face is rosy and no longer as pale as it was a few days ago. "It wasn't Concubine Li who was so arrogant and unprepared that she gave us the opportunity to take advantage of her."

Yesterday evening, Xiao Yu's people in Li Fei's palace handed a red sandalwood box with exquisite carvings into Li Fei's hands, saying that it was sent by someone from the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion.

The Marquis of Weiyuan often sends some things to Concubine Li. Last night, Mrs. Marquis Weiyuan sent someone to the palace to deliver a message to Concubine Li, instead of sending Yingxiu to the palace. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the person who delivered the message was able to After leaving, Xiao Yu's people stuffed the red sandalwood box into her palace.

It is logical that Concubine Li would not be suspicious after borrowing the name of Weiyuan Marquis Mansion.

A tasseled golden step with a peony flower head was easily inserted on Concubine Li's head. She would never have imagined that this exquisite step with the name of Fengchailou engraved on it was made by the emperor. hand.

It was a gift from the emperor to Concubine Mei, and the one she treasured most was a set of earrings.

Xiao Yu naturally had a way to make the earrings lie quietly in Concubine Li's dressing box.

When something happened to Concubine Mei, Gu Yuqing's mother went to the palace to plead for mercy and was thrown tea on her face by the queen. She didn't see Concubine Mei, but she picked up this walking stick on the way out of the queen's palace.

It seems that Concubine Mei was forced into the secret room by the queen and struggled all the way to stay.

Who would have thought that after so many years, this step would actually become the guideline to exonerate Concubine Mei and Xiao Yan.

When Gu Yuqing finished speaking, Xiao Yu brought a spoonful of chicken soup to his mouth and said softly: "From tomorrow on, I can't stay with you like this. There will definitely be trouble at the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion tomorrow morning at the latest. , at that time, I have to stay in the imperial study."

They were obviously talking about something exciting, but the tone and look of Xiao Yu and Gu Yuqing were as if they were talking about family matters.

They were talking in this room, and in the other room, at Weiyuanhou Mansion, the nun Mrs. Weiyuanhou sent out to pick up Yingxiu yesterday afternoon finally came back with an anxious look on her face after a night.

He staggered into the door and said, "Madam... Oh no, Miss Yingxiu is missing!" Her chapped lips clearly expressed her inner uneasiness and anxiety, her breathing was rapid, and her tongue was a little uneasy.

Since Yingxiu could not enter the palace and had no choice but to marry Tao Ye, Mrs. Gan stopped thinking. In addition to being concerned about Marquis Weiyuan's stay in Tianjin, she was also thinking about how to give Yingxiu a dowry that was both gold and jade but was full of charm.

It looks beautiful, but is actually useless.

Grandma suddenly came in, startling her, and hearing her panicked words made her even more frightened. She looked straight at her, "What did you say?" Her eyes widened.

While speaking, the nanny had already walked in front of Gan, licked her chapped lips, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva that didn't exist, "Miss Yingxiu is gone!"

Panic seeped from his bones.

Mr. Gan frowned, "What do you mean by missing? Can you explain clearly?" His breath was steady, but his heart was beating suddenly.

"The slave servant went to the farm to pick up Miss Yingxiu at the madam's order. It was a rush, but the carriage broke down on the way, and it took a long time for the driver to fix it. When we arrived at the farm, it was already the beginning of the Hai Dynasty."

"If I pick up Miss Yingxiu and return directly at that time, the key to the city gate must have been locked. The slave girl thought that on the one hand, it is not safe to travel at night, and on the other hand, she may not be able to enter the city gate. At that time, if she begs the gatekeeper to open the door, she will inevitably have to report The title of Weiyuan Marquis Mansion brought trouble to the manor for no reason, so I rested at the farm all night."

"When I fell asleep, my servant helped Miss Yingxiu to sleep. I slept in the outer room. But this morning, when I woke up, there was no trace of Miss Yingxiu in the inner room."

"My slave always sleeps lightly..." She licked her lips and looked at Mrs. Gan with horrified eyes. "When I found out that the young lady was missing, I immediately called people from the farm to look for her. No one had seen her. I searched for nearly half of the time. Hours, not even a shadow can be seen.”

Gan's beating heart suddenly stopped as her grandmother finished speaking, and she broke into a cold sweat!
The business of the Weiyuan Hou Mansion was extremely cautious because of the unreasonable nature. Over the years, there had never been any accidents. Now, someone found out about Tianjin Wei's business. Then, Yingxiu disappeared again...

Without thinking, Gan instinctively linked Yingxiu's disappearance to the business incident at Weiyuan Marquis Mansion.

But Yingxiu was just a concubine, and was of little value to the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion. Even though Weiyuan Marquis doted on her, he would never lose as much business as a gold mountain for her, a concubine daughter.

The other party has tied up Yingxiu, what exactly is he going to do!
With a flash of lightning, my mind recalled what Qi Concubine said that day in Concubine Li's Palace. Concubine Qi said that it was Concubine Hui who had arranged for Tao Ye to come to ask for Yingxiu's hand in marriage!
Previously, she could not figure out what Concubine Hui was planning, but these two incidents happened one after another, and Mrs. Gan had something to worry about.

But as soon as that thought came to her mind, she secretly shook her head and denied it.

Concubine Hui arranged for Tao Ye because she was the favorite concubine of the dynasty. Tao Ye could not help but be manipulated by her. How could Concubine Hui, a concubine in the palace, instigate someone to investigate the business of Weiyuan Hou Mansion? Kidnapping Yingxiu again?
Relying on Yongninghou Mansion?

The Marquis of Yongning is simply incapable of success. With his ability, even if he is put together, he may not be able to find any clues about the voice of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion. Only the eldest son Dong Ce is quite capable, but for one thing, he His abilities were all reflected in his horse-walking with Xiao Yu. Secondly, he had long been sent by the emperor to Canglan to escort military supplies and was not in Kyoto at all.

Apart from the Yongning Marquis Mansion, Mrs. Gan could not think of anyone else who could serve Concubine Hui.

After all, Concubine Hui's son, the Fourth Prince Xiao Yu, is really worthless. These days, he just stays in front of Gu Yuqing's bed and cooks soup for her every day!

But if it wasn’t Concubine Hui’s arrangement, who would it be!
