Chapter 345

"Honggu—come here!" The queen sat up propped up, her complexion was not very good-looking, her tone was heavy, and she called the palace servant feebly.

The palace maid immediately came in upon hearing the sound, and seeing the situation, she hurriedly helped the queen, and put a pillow behind her to lean on, "Your Majesty, what do you want?"

"Where's Hong Gu?" The queen only felt that she had been sleeping drowsily recently, she lifted the quilt and wanted to get out of bed, and asked Hong Gu.

The maid helped her with one arm, bent down and put the shoes on the couch to step on the queen's feet, she shook her head and replied, "I don't know, my aunt seems to have not left the room since yesterday evening. Listen to the maid next to Princess Nan Said, my aunt is not feeling well, resting in the room."

Didn't leave the room, feeling unwell?
The queen instinctively doubted, but a sharp pain from her forehead prevented her from distracting herself from thinking about Aunt Hong. She furrowed her brows deeply, "Hiss—quickly give Ben Gong a massage."

Hearing this, the palace maid hurriedly knelt down on the couch, carefully put her hands on her temples, and gently massaged the queen's temples.

The queen felt a little more comfortable, closed her eyes, and enjoyed the maid's massage.

"Auntie." Gu Mingzhu's voice sounded softly from behind the curtain at this time, and the maid closed the curtain for her. She folded her hands in her sleeves and placed her arms flat on her chest, perfectly embodying the ladylike demeanor.

The queen smelled the very exotic and fragrant flower fragrance on her body, and felt that her mind was much clearer, and even her headache was relieved a little.

Involuntarily opened his eyes, looked at Gu Mingzhu walking in front of him, the corners of his mouth naturally turned up, "Mingzhu is here. What sachet are you wearing today, so fragrant?"

Hearing this, Gu Mingzhu curved her red lips, blinked her phoenix eyes, took off the light yellow sachet worn around her waist, and handed it to the queen.

"Mingzhu doesn't know either, but this is a refreshing sachet made by maids in the southern country. Auntie likes it?"

Listening to Gu Mingzhu's explanation, the queen took the sachet, and sniffed it lightly under her nose. Sure enough, the fragrance was rich and somewhat cold, which relieved her drowsy head a lot.

The maid pressed it for a long time, and she only felt a little less discomfort, but the aroma made her stinging head feel comfortable.

"It smells so good." The queen waved her hand, signaling the maid to step back, and the latter stepped aside.

"Auntie likes it, so I will give it to you."

Gu Mingzhu sat on the edge of the bed, with a cute smile on her lips.

The queen accepted it, and said on the face, "It's still Mingzhu's filial piety."

Gu Mingzhu didn't answer these words, but turned her eyes to the side in an unclear manner, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.

yes.She is the most "filial piety".

After leaving the queen's bedroom, Gu Mingzhu was in a good mood, even the maids could tell.

Can't help asking, "Why did the princess give her the antidote again..."

It turned out that these days, the queen suffered from insomnia and dreaminess at night, and drowsiness and headaches during the day, all because Gu Mingzhu used some tricks of the southern royal family to counteract spices, and silently planted poisonous incense on the queen.

Hearing this, Gu Mingzhu just walked to the peony bushes in the garden, stretched out her hand, picked the best blooming one in the bush, played with it in her hands, and laughed a few times.

"Do you think that everyone in this palace is an idiot?" If she really poisoned the queen to death, she wouldn't be the first to escape.

What's more, Honggu is dead, but Qi Rui is not stupid. In the past two or three days, Qi Rui will definitely visit Gu Rongfang in the palace, and will ask the imperial physician to check her pulse again.

But it doesn't matter, that's why she gave the "antidote" sachet to Gu Rongfang in advance——

Besides, just being poisoned to death silently is too boring.

Thinking of this, the smile on Gu Mingzhu's face became brighter and brighter, but the maid looked at her with a smile at the corner of her mouth, and kneaded the peony in her hand petal by petal until crushed.

Looking at the flower mud on the ground, Gu Mingzhu lowered her eyes slightly, smiled on her face, her eyes were cold, "Look, it's the most fun to step on it like this."

The shoe stepped on the flower mud and crushed it hard. Gu Mingzhu left gracefully while wiping the flower juice on her hands with a handkerchief.

Here, the next day, Qi Rui brought the imperial physician and his own trusted government physician to Renshou Palace to pay his respects and check the empress' pulse.

As a result, no problems were found.

While he breathed a sigh of relief, he glanced at Gu Mingzhu who was on the side without concealing his guard and distrust, and narrowed the corners of his eyes in warning.

Regarding this, Gu Mingzhu pretended not to see it, and raised her eyebrows slightly when no one saw it.

As for Hong Gu, Qi Rui asked the Queen, who said that Hong Gu was unwell and recuperating behind closed doors—

Qi Rui naturally didn't believe it.

Without any explanation, he led people to Hong Gu's house and knocked on the door, but no one answered.

"Kick the door open!" Qi Rui squinted his eyes, clenched his hands slightly, his uneasiness disappeared in a flash, and ordered to the boy who knocked on the door.

The door was kicked open vigorously, and Hong Gu's familiar coughing sound came from inside. She was lying on the bed, as if she was very ashamed that a foreigner broke into her bedroom.

But the target was Qi Rui, so she had no choice but to be patient.

"Your Highness, cough cough cough... this old slave has been suffering from a cold these days... cough cough... I am sorry that this old slave cannot greet you in person."

"It's okay."

When Qi Rui saw Honggu, his expression was quite shocked.

He ordered Honggu to monitor Gu Mingzhu's every move, and if there was any abnormality, he would send him a message with Feige.It's just that he was worried that Gu Mingzhu was playing tricks, so he couldn't help but come to the palace.

Seeing that his mother was fine, he felt relieved, but Hong Gu was "ill", which made him suspicious.

Where did I think, I was really sick.

His complexion is not very good-looking, but he still warmly said to Hong Gu who was lying on the bed, "It's the king who is abrupt. You should rest well."

After speaking, take people away.

And when he left with his people, Gu Mingzhu appeared outside Honggu's house.

The former "seriously ill" "Honggu" got out of bed, walked on the ground barefoot, and knelt in front of Gu Mingzhu.

At the same time, one hand reached out to the side of the ear temple covered by the gray hair, and tore off a human skin mask.

A face of Gu Mingzhu and a maid in front appeared.

"Your ventriloquism is not in vain, and you almost deceived this princess." Gu Mingzhu's smile deepened, she looked at the silent and respectful maid who was kneeling on the ground, bent slightly, stretched out her hand, and slowly stroked the maid with her slender fingers Eyebrows, fingernails lightly scratched the opponent's chin.

Smiling and authentic, "Get up, go back and receive the reward."

This maid was one of the maids Mrs. Gu left to Gu Mingzhu before, and she also inadvertently learned that this maid can also imitate other people's voices.

Not to mention success, but imitating an old woman with a hoarse voice while sick is enough.

No, Qi Rui was tricked, right?
As for the real Honggu, her body was hidden under the bed, probably waiting for these palace servants to find her after smelling the rotting corpse.

She, Gu Mingzhu, had successfully avenged her revenge and left.
