Gu Mingzhu looked like Chujiu, and the sadness that enveloped her heart also dissipated a little.

Is Chujiu really the guard beside Lord Wei? She was afraid that after Lord Wei came back from the war, she would find Chujiu became her maid.

Wouldn't this be bad? After all, it will take more than ten years of hard work to cultivate a family...

"The ninth day of the lunar month," Gu Mingzhu said, "Just use some more rouge."

Chujiu hurriedly refused: "That won't work."

Gu Mingzhu said: "Rouge made of safflower juice is very suitable for you."

Chujiu shook his head solemnly, as if he was swearing to resist to the death.

Gu Mingzhu said: "You have been preparing this outfit for a long time, right? You always keep it with you on weekdays?" Otherwise, how could you take it out so quickly?

Chujiu would not lie in front of his master, and subconsciously said: "After helping the eldest lady play a ghost in the Cheng family last time..." After saying this, Chujiu covered her mouth. Isn't this equivalent to admitting that he had planned first? Have you been waiting for the opportunity to try it? No, he is not that kind of person.

It seems that next time she will see the red flower juice rouge on Chujiu's face, Gu Mingzhu nodded: "Okay, Chujiu, please walk by my side!"

Most of the people in the world are children of the world. If there is a large-sized female family member, it will probably not cause too much surprise.

When Liu Su saw Chujiu, he was stunned. He and the eldest lady had always gone out together. Now that he had such a "maid", Liu Su felt a little strange. Could it be that Chujiu would leave the Wei family to serve the eldest lady from now on?

The three of them were out of prison and walked on the street.

It was not yet dawn and there were not many people on the street. Liu Su looked at Chujiu and said, "Will we be a member of the market in the future?"

Chujiu shook his head, he just wanted the eldest lady to be happy.

"Let's do this," Liu Su said, "When people enter the market, they always have a title. In terms of ranking... I call you ninth sister, you call me second brother." So he can feel more at ease.

Chujiu is a guard, so of course he can't be a ninth sister, but... why does ninth sister not sound so annoying, and there is a little bit of it.

Huaiyuan Marquis Mansion.

Mrs. Lin woke up very early today. After this period of recuperation, she returned mostly because of her lack of production. Mrs. Lin asked her mother Yang to help her walk around the house for a few times, and she felt very good.

"I'm much better," Mrs. Lin sat back on the warm kang again. "I felt tired after walking before, but now my legs are not that heavy." If this continues, she will be able to help Zhuzhu take care of her family affairs soon.

During this period, Zhuzhu was tired and had to take care of the inner house, and also took care of her and Chun Ge'er. Zhuzhu was also responsible for Zou Lin's funeral. Zhuzhu would go out to see Zhenren Mo from time to time. Zhuzhu was so busy that she felt very distressed.

Mrs. Lin was thinking when she heard a voice coming from outside, "Miss is here."

The curtain was lifted and Gu Mingzhu walked into the room.

Every day, Zhuzhu would come to see her and Chun Ge'er.

Mrs. Lin ordered: "Let the wet nurse carry Brother Chun..."

Before he finished speaking, Mrs. Lin changed her mouth: "Don't hug her for now."

Mrs. Lin looked at Gu Mingzhu worriedly: "You have such red eyes? You have bad face? Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Gu Mingzhu had already covered it with makeup, but she didn't expect that her mother would still see it.

Gu Mingzhu shook her head: "I just slept a little late."

"That's not possible. It will drag you down after a long time," Mrs. Lin pulled Gu Mingzhu onto the warm kang, "Sleep in my place for a while, and call you when the kitchen is ready."

Gu Mingzhu nodded. Her mother's house was very warm, and she shrank in the quilt as if she could dispel all the cold.

"Zhuzhu," Mrs. Lin reached out and stroked her daughter's head, "Thank you for your hard work these days."

"Daughter doesn't feel it's hard."

Mrs. Lin looked at Zhuzhu's red eyes lit up again.

Gu Mingzhu said: "I am very happy to see my mother and Brother Chun every day." That kind of joy can soothe everything and make her feel at ease again.

Gu Mingzhu slowly closed her eyes. If she had a next life, she would protect her two fathers and mothers, stay by their side, and be at her knees.

When the chrysanthemum is flourishing, it is the sunny day.

...

Kunning Palace.

Empress Wei had just reduced the expenses of each palace. Wars in the Great Zhou Dynasty were everywhere. Saving some money to buy more military funds and giving some pensions to the soldiers. Although it was not much, the palace did not dare to be too luxurious in the homes of high-ranking officials and nobles, which would benefit the current situation.

"Empress," the female official whispered, "After the emperor came to court, Huang Chang recruited the Imperial Hospital envoy."

Queen Wei nodded. It seemed that the emperor's condition had not been relieved. She had just taken back the Queen's treasure. If the emperor could support her, she would never have revealed any clues, so as not to have "malice" with the Wei family. If she had not been ill to a certain extent, she would never have hired the Imperial Hospital Hospital so frequently.

The foreign enemy is strong and the internal affairs are chaotic. If the emperor fell ill that day, the Great Zhou court would be in danger.

Empress Wei said, "Be prepared." Heard that the King of Liang in the Northern Frontier recruited many talented people and was writing a manifesto, saying that killing brothers and sisters before the emperor ascended the throne was an evil rebellion, and forcing the former emperor to make him the crown prince was unfilial, and after ascending the throne, getting close to the traitor, and causing the tragic death of loyal and kind is unjust...

Before the formal manifesto was released, just a few words caused panic among the people in the court.

In addition, the northwest and southwest borders have also begun to be uneasy and want to take advantage of the chaos.

If the war in the northern border is not curbed in time, there will be fire everywhere, and the Great Zhou court will fall into a more difficult and hard battle.

"You must be careful," said Empress Wei, "It is hard to guarantee that the emperor will have other thoughts." In recent years, the emperor wanted to check and balance the power, but he had a party struggle. For the sake of the position of crown prince, the emperor's descendants fought with each other. Even if he knew now that everything was secretly plotting by King Liang, many things could no longer be stopped.

Just like a concubine, would she be willing to give up the throne? How could she let go after knowing that she was used as a target by the emperor and protecting Concubine De and his son?

The same is true for Concubine De and his son. Although they are happy with the emperor, they will be unable to sleep or eat as long as they have not sat on the throne.

These people are waiting for the opportunity to take action.

"Empress," said the female official, "news are coming from outside."

Empress Wei opened the note in the female official's hand. It was given to her by the Wei family, and the Cao family began to move.

"Go and stare at Concubine De," Queen Wei ordered, "Don't miss one." She saw what shameful things the Cao family and Concubine De did.

...

Empress Defei sat on a stool and looked at herself in the mirror. In just a few days, she lost a lot of weight.

"Have the emperor not asked Huang Chang to pass the message yet?" Concubine De asked again.

"No," the female official persuaded, "Now the Empress is in charge of the harem, and the Emperor also wants to use the Wei family. He always has to give Empress Wei some face, so he will inevitably be cold first. The Emperor does this, just as before, to protect you."

Concubine De wanted to smile easily, but she really couldn't laugh.

She had been looking forward to waiting until one day to let all the women in the palace know that the emperor really favored was not the imperial concubine, nor the Queen Wei, but her... Cao.

But she never expected that the day finally came, but under such circumstances.

There is nothing that is arrogant and enviable, so I can only kneel in the hall and kowtow to admit my mistakes.
