151 Assassin, holding a knife is not necessarily killing
As soon as the fifth prince came in, the old emperor happily told the fifth prince not to worry. Concubine Gu's illness was cured, but...
The fifth prince is not happy at all
He knew better than anyone that his mother-in-law was not sick, and there was no question of whether to save her or not.
However, he couldn't show it. Not only that, he also had to say to the old emperor with a look of surprise: "Father, are you telling the truth? Can the concubine be saved?"
The tears shining in his eyes made Gu Qiancheng secretly praise the fifth prince for his acting skills.
Compared with the Fifth Prince's acting skills, her blushing, sweating, etc., are really a bit overwhelming.
"Of course, my father will still lie to you." People are in high spirits during happy events. The old emperor's face was red and he was in great spirits: "Speaking of which, your grandfather and Gu... By the way, Gu Qiancheng is still your cousin. You
My grandfather and cousin were concerned about your mother-in-law's illness. Fortunately, your cousin knew some medical skills and was able to diagnose the cause."
Otherwise, the imperial doctor would not be able to diagnose the disease wherever it is...
"So, my cousin can cure the illness of my mother and concubine?" The fifth prince looked happy, his expression did not look fake, he was as innocent as a child. No wonder the old emperor favored the fifth prince.
"Your cousin promised me that you will be able to cure your mother-in-law's illness. If you can't cure it, come and see me." When the old emperor said this, he no longer had much murderous intent, but the fifth prince's eyes lit up when he heard it.
Then he thought of something again, and his eyes immediately dimmed.
In order to prevent the emperor from discovering his abnormality, the fifth prince quickly bowed to Gu Qiancheng: "Mu Xian is here. I thank my cousin. My cousin is so kind that Mu Xian will never forget it."
Mu Xian is the name of the fifth prince.
How could Gu Qiancheng accept his courtesy? He jumped away early: "Your Highness is serious. Separating for the Emperor is a matter of duty. I cannot deserve His Highness's thanks."
The fifth prince said nothing, with a bit of dissatisfaction on his face. He wanted to take the opportunity to make things difficult for Gu Qiancheng, but the emperor was very satisfied with Gu Qiancheng's words, and praised Gu Qiancheng again in front of Mr. Gu.
A few words about the city.
The old man said a few words of humility and resigned wisely. Before leaving, he looked at the fifth prince for a year. That look was full of disappointment. It was a pity that the fifth prince was so focused on pleasing the old emperor that he didn't notice at all, and Gu Qiancheng?
I will never remind him...
Gu Qiancheng stayed in the palace that day, and the next day he went to Concubine Gu's palace with the imperial doctors to conduct a follow-up consultation with Concubine Gu.
The imperial doctors failed to diagnose Gu Guifei's illness several times. Gu Qiancheng found an excellent cause of the disease for them. Although the imperial doctors knew that there was something fishy in it, they had to agree with it for the sake of their own lives.
.
Of course, the imperial doctors also blamed Concubine Gu...
It's not strange for them to want to put their nieces in the position, but stepping on them or even sacrificing them to get the position is really too much.
After the consultation, all the imperial doctors agreed with Gu Qiancheng's diagnosis and were quite polite to Gu Qiancheng. However, relying on Gu Qiancheng's shrewdness, she could still see that the imperial doctors were dissatisfied with her. As for the reason?
Gu Qiancheng knew it without thinking.
I have to say that Concubine Gu is seeking death. She not only seeks death but also involves others, which is really annoying.
After the consultation, they were supposed to treat her together, but the doctors refused to stay for a moment longer and found reasons to leave one by one. Gu Qiancheng looked at the doctors who regarded her as a scourge and sighed in his heart...
Why don't these old doctors use their brains to think about it? If she wanted to enter the palace and gain wealth, would she use this method?
She is the victim, okay?
But……
Others won't listen to her explanation!
Fortunately, Gu Qiancheng never thought that if she offended the imperial doctor by earning a living as a doctor, she would be offended. Anyway, she had no idea of opening a clinic.
After the imperial doctor left, there were no outsiders in Gu Guifei's palace. Gu Qiancheng stopped pretending. He carried the medicine box to the room, took out a lancet from it, and stepped forward holding the knife...
"Miss Gu, you, what are you going to do? Don't be impulsive..." The palace maid was startled, and the other timid one even screamed: "Ahhh... Killing, killing, Miss Gu is going to assassinate
The royal concubine."
"Kill?" Gu Qiancheng laughed and waved the knife in his hand in mid-air. The palace maids turned pale with fright, and none of them dared to approach.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty has seen this set of knives. This set of knives is not used to kill people, but to save people." Gu Qiancheng said it easily.
This is also true. If it hadn't been for the emperor's permission, how could she have brought a set of knives in.
Of course, if this set of knives hadn't been the Liuyun Knife given by Mr. Feng, the emperor would not have allowed her to bring it into the palace.
She still remembered the emperor's shock and disbelief when he saw this set of Liuyun Dao. He obviously did not expect that the old man of the Feng family would give such a valuable thing to her.
"Save, save, save people? How is this possible? Knives are used to kill people." The palace maid was trembling as she spoke. At this time, the little eunuch who heard the noise also rushed in and saw the knife in Gu Qiancheng's hand.
, and seeing Gu Qiancheng very close to Concubine Gu, their faces turned pale...
"Guard, hurry up and call the guard, there is an assassin." The eunuch was even more exaggerated. Some of them cleverly turned around and ran out. Fortunately, they met the fifth prince who came to visit his "seriously ill" mother and concubine, so the matter did not become a big deal.
"What happened?" As soon as the fifth prince came in, the maids and eunuchs seemed to have found a backbone. They stepped forward one by one and told Gu Qiancheng's crimes.
"Your Highness, Miss Gu, she, she wants to assassinate the imperial concubine."
"Knife, Miss Gu still has a knife in her hand. She wants to kill the empress."
But……
As soon as the fifth prince saw the knife in Gu Qiancheng's hand, he understood what was going on. He had seen this knife before and it was approved by his father.
The fifth prince immediately turned cold and shouted: "What nonsense are you talking about? Get out of here."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." The palace maids and eunuchs didn't know why, and they were all extremely puzzled. The fifth prince had to explain clearly: "Miss Gu is here to treat the empress under the emperor's orders. You must not be rude."
"Ah..." The palace maids and eunuchs all looked puzzled, but the master would not continue to explain. No matter how puzzled they were, they could only keep it in their hearts.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for clarifying for me." Gu Qiancheng played with the knife in his hand and looked at the fifth prince with a half-smile, which made the fifth prince's face look even more ugly...
Although Gu Qiancheng went to the palace to treat his mother and concubine as planned, the initiative was not in his hands. He felt like he was being led by Gu Qiancheng.
Unable to get angry at Gu Qiancheng, the fifth prince vented his anger on the palace maid beside him and said angrily: "Get out of here, Your Highness."
"Yes..." The palace maid and the eunuch were so frightened that they ran out quickly, leaving only a few confidants at the door, guarding one on the left and the other on the right to prevent outsiders from coming in...
There were no outsiders around, and the fifth prince stopped pretending. His youthful face showed a sternness that did not match his age, and he asked: "How does my cousin plan to cure my mother-in-law's illness?"
If he hadn't been worried about Gu Qiancheng causing trouble, why would the fifth prince have rushed over in such a hurry.
The fifth prince had a very bad feeling when he saw the knife in Gu Qiancheng's hand yesterday...
He was afraid that if Gu Qiancheng was forced to panic, the fish would die and the net would be broken.
You know, Gu Qiancheng's miserable life is not even worth a hair on the head of her mother's concubine...
