Traitor Concubine Growth Manual

Chapter 123

When Qin Shu came out of the restaurant, the sun was just right.

He looked back at the window on the second floor, Prince Gong raised his glass behind the window and smiled at him with gentle eyes.He would also smile heartily, then turn around lightly and walk back home slowly along the street.

Prince Gong did not break his promise, and really tried his best to rescue Yuanshan. Qin Shu heaved a sigh of relief, feeling that everything is going well now, and he only owes Dongfeng.

Gu Chushi watched Qin Shu's figure disappear out of the window, then turned around lightly, and asked the entourage at the door: "Have they arrived yet?"

"Go back to the prince, I arrived three days ago, and I arranged them in the guest room of the palace, and waited until the prince came back before making arrangements."

Gu Chushi nodded, and put the wine glass in his hand to his lips with a smile: "The sword is out of its sheath, and it's time to cut through the thorns."

He drank the wine in the glass, then briskly put it back on the table, opened the curtain and walked out calmly.

"Go home."

At this time, Mo Jiujiu was standing in the guest room of Prince Gong's mansion, but he lost his usual calmness.

Three days ago, he and Yin Shao rushed to the capital together, and the core members of the Zoroastrianism had also moved from Jiangzhou around the Huaihe River to the capital.Everything was carried out in an orderly manner according to Prince Gong's order.

It's just that on the way to the capital, something seemed wrong with Yin Shao, he lost his usual chattering and became a little silent instead.

He turned his head several times, only to see Yin Shao staring blankly at his back without speaking, during which he asked once: "What's wrong?"

Yin Shao froze for a moment, then lowered his head and said, "It's okay."

He knew that Shao had something on his mind, but he didn't ask again. He vaguely guessed that it was because he rejected her again in the small courtyard in Jiangzhou that night. She is a daughter's family, and it is inevitable to be hurt and depressed. of.

It's just that no matter how he understood it, he never guessed that Yin Shao disappeared out of thin air on the second day after arriving at Prince Gong's Mansion in the capital.

He got up before dawn as usual, but he didn't hear Yin Shao's knock on the door, and time passed by, and the person who usually served him to wash and eat never appeared again.

It wasn't until dawn that Mo Shijiu walked into the wing room where Yin Shao lived in last night, only to see people go to the empty room in the building, and Yin Shao's simple burden had disappeared.

Surprised, he asked the servant in the mansion, but he heard the man say strangely: "I got up very early this morning, and I haven't seen anyone go out before."

With a sinking heart, he guessed that Yin Shao must have left the palace in the dark last night, took all her luggage and disappeared without a sound.

For the next three days, while waiting for Prince Gong to return, Yin Shao never appeared again.

Before returning home, Gu Chushi stopped in front of the inn at the intersection, ordered his attendants to wait outside the door, and stepped in by himself.

"Guest officer, do you stay at the top or stay at the hotel?" The waiter smiled enthusiastically, put a rag on his shoulder, and greeted him.

"Looking for someone." Gu Chushi said lightly, walked leisurely along the stairs to the second floor, finally stopped in front of the door at the end of the corridor, and knocked on the door.

"Who?" A woman's crisp voice came from inside.

"it's me."

Following his two short words, the door opened immediately, and Yin Shao, who was dressed in red, jumped up with a bright smile on his face, hugged his neck, and shouted happily: "Brother!"

Gu Chushi, who was always calm and composed, showed a rare smile, patted her on the head, and said helplessly, "How old are you? You're not too old or young."

Only then did Gu Yinshao let go of his hand, turned sideways and made a gesture, inviting him in with frowning eyebrows: "What brother said is true, my sister is being polite."

Half a year ago, Mo Jiujiu rescued an orphan flower seller from under the horse's hooves in Jiangzhou. At that time, the situation was critical. The crazy horse galloped out of control on the street, and happened to rush towards Yin Shao on the side of the road.At this critical moment, Mo Jiujiu, who was above the restaurant on the second floor, jumped down and rescued Yin Shao from under the horse's hoof.

Later, Yin Shao told him that both of his parents had died, and his only grandfather had also passed away a few years ago. In order to repay Mo Jiujiu for saving his life, she wanted to stay by his side no matter what.

Mo Shijiu ignored her, but she was terribly difficult to pester her, and even endured the cold outside the house where he lived all night, and refused to leave when she had a high fever and passed out.Mo Jiu couldn't hold back her, and finally let her be his maidservant, serving him for half a year.

He didn't hide that he was a bad person, but Yin Shao was surprised and still didn't leave, he just said: "I don't care who you are, I only know that you saved me and gave me this life."

She was Yin Shao, but she seemed to have forgotten to tell Mo Shijiu that her surname was Gu.

The death of both parents is also reasonable, because her biological mother was the concubine of the late Prince Gong, who died in childbirth when she was born, and she grew up with Gu Chushi. Although she is a concubine, she has a good relationship with this brother.

Gu Chushi asked her to stay with Mo Nineteen for half a year, and she went too, but Mo Nineteen never thought that the innocent Yin Shao would be Gu Chushi's secret work, because he was worried about him, so he specially sent to spy on him.

After asking a few words about the recent situation, Gu Chushi finally switched to the topic: "He hasn't changed anything in the past six months, right?"

Yin Shao hesitated for a moment, then said: "What my brother asked him to do, he will do it right, it's just..."

"Just what?"

"It's just that besides that, he seems to have other plans. The Zoroastrianism was originally just a cover, the purpose is to arrange our soldiers and horses so that people don't suspect it on the head of my brother. But over the years, he has developed extremely strong , recruiting talented people, respecting corporals, really attracted a group of talented people, and let them give up their hearts. Now not only Jiangzhou has Zoroastrians, but Liuzhou and Zhongzhou also have influence."

Gu Chushi's eyes darkened: "He really has a second heart."

"I can't justify myself, maybe..." Yin Shao pondered for a moment, "Maybe he just doesn't want to be a stand-in, and hopes to do other things for us. The stand-in can only be used once, but a capable The subordinate can serve us repeatedly, so that he will not become a discarded pawn. If he is really talented, brother might as well let him show his loyalty."

Gu Chushi smiled softly: "Yin Shao, are you talking for him?"

Yin Shao frowned, and said with a little daughter's coquettishness: "Brother!"

"If a chess piece is disobedient, it's not a chess piece anymore. How can I continue to use him?" Gu Chushi glanced out the window casually, "I've trained him for so many years, and I've tried my best to find strange people and strange talents in his face. Only by moving the knife bit by bit last time did he look like me. He is destined to be a stand-in for the rest of his life, nothing else... don't even think about it."

Yin Shao was startled, and didn't say a word for a long time, and finally said "um", and didn't speak again.

Before Gu Chushi left, she asked, "His name is Mo Nineteen?"

Gu Chushi raised his eyebrows: "He told you?"

"No, I saw it myself."

Gu Chushi laughed: "He has no name or surname at all, but he is just a beggar on the street, and Nineteen is just a name I gave casually, but it was because that day was on the nineteenth of March. As for Mo... probably he knows I am nothing at all, and my name is unnecessary, so I am quite self-aware and chose this surname for myself."

He told Yin Shao to pack up his things: "Tomorrow I will send someone to escort you to Luzhou. The second aunt's family is there, far away from the capital, and there will be no impact. You can live there with peace of mind. Send someone to pick you up, and you will be in a good mood...to marry a relative of the emperor."

He smiled a little softly: "So be good, don't be fascinated by dudes, you know? Sister of the Gu family, no matter what, Brother Wei has to personally pick a good family for you."

Yin Shao nodded with a smile, and responded obediently: "Oh, I see."

But when she watched Gu Chushi leave, there was a little melancholy in her eyes.

Mo Nineteen...how is he now?
The queen's birthday is coming, and the palace started preparations ten days in advance. Although the queen has always been behind closed doors, she is still a queen, so she has to hold a feast no matter what.

Early in the morning, Chu Yan ordered someone to put the vase made by Gu Qi into a brocade box. After thinking about it, she took it out again, and moved a narcissus in from the backyard with her own hands, and finally had someone hold it carefully. Went to the Queen's Jingshang Palace.

Vases are for plants, not for offerings in boxes.

She stepped into that paradise-like palace, and once again saw the small courtyard full of flowers, and the indifferent and simple empress.

The queen turned her head from the flowers in the fragrant suburbs, and looked at her with a smile, her eyes were gentle and bright.

Then Chu Yan took the vase from the palace man, went up to it with the Narcissus in hand, and shouted respectfully: "I wish my mother good luck and good health."

The queen's eyes were a little surprised, she stayed on the white jade peony bottle, and the corners of her lips raised slightly: "This...was made by the princess herself?"

Chu Yan was more honest, so she could only smile and said, "I'm clumsy and can't make such delicate things. It's mainly due to His Royal Highness, but I'm just cheering him up from the sidelines, but this Narcissus My son transplanted it himself."

The queen laughed out loud, seeing her eyes became softer, stepped forward to caress the narcissus for a while, ordered someone to take the vase, and then gently patted Chu Yan's hand: "The princess has a heart. "

Chu Yan walked with her to the stone table and sat down, the queen sighed: "It is inevitable that I have to step out of this Jingshang Palace again today, in fact, I don't want to celebrate my birthday every year and deal with a bunch of mundane things...it's really unpleasant. "

She turned her head and looked at Chu Yan with a smile that was not a smile: "Prince Princess, don't blame me for being blunt, I am tired of these hypocritical manners, and I don't treat you as an outsider, so I just said a few more words."

Chu Yan laughed: "If you want me to say, if I celebrate my birthday, I don't want the palace to go up and down, hold banquets, and set off salutes. It's better to let me sleep in peace of mind. Eat some favorite food, sing songs and listen to operas by yourself, it's also leisurely. Therefore, my son understands the mood of the queen mother."

She also said it bluntly, which made the queen laugh in surprise: "It turns out that the princess and I are still on the same path."

Chu Yan came early, before the empress had time to have breakfast, when the palace servants came to invite her to have a meal, the empress invited Chu Yan to go with her.Chu Yan nodded and entered the main hall with her.

Simple and light porridge and side dishes were placed on the table, and the queen explained: "I don't like to make a fuss, and I can't eat too much, so I just let the imperial dining room prepare a few of my favorite side dishes every day, so as to avoid extravagance and waste."

Chu Yan admired her more and more, the queen was not a person who paid attention to common etiquette, and she was not too polite with her, so she just picked up the chopsticks and asked her to do it herself.Chu Yan didn't eat anything in the morning, so she picked up the bowl of porridge and took a sip. The corn and the finely ground millet were mixed together, and the fragrance spread between her lips and teeth, but for some reason, Chu Yan's stomach suddenly Feeling nauseous for a while, he put down the bowl and hurried to the side, trying to control the retching.

The queen was surprised: "What's wrong? But the food is not to your liking?"

Chu Yan's face turned pale, and she waved her hands hastily, wondering what was wrong with herself, but with her stomach convulsing, she suddenly had a bold idea... She, she, could it be... …

"Tell the imperial physician." The queen hastily ordered the people around her.

Chu Yan managed to control the feeling of nausea with great difficulty, holding Hanzhi in a trance.

A few days ago, when she saw the head of the leader of the Zoroastrian Cult, she felt nauseous once, and then she always felt a little unable to eat, and she had no appetite, thinking it was the sequelae left by the head.It just reminds me that the wedding has been going on for several months now, and the crown prince has never asked anyone to give her any avoidance soup, could it be...

It was rare for her to be stupid and just stand there in such a daze.
