Su Xin was not the maid of the King of Jin'an County, so she only invited them over and bowed before leaving.
Not long after, all the maids of Prince Jin'an also withdrew.
"The people who have been identified are all temporarily locked up. Will they still be dealt with as before?" Mr. Gu asked.
Prince Jin'an's gaze swept across the study room.
It is said that the study is just the size of a living room, much smaller than his study outside, and the furnishings are also very simple, including a few desks, cushions, bookshelves, incense burners...
"Don't look at things as simple, these are all good things." Eunuch Jing also pointed and whispered.
Mr. Gu frowned and coughed.
Look at the appearance of these two people! They are obviously at their own home, but they look so surprised!
Eunuch Jing hurriedly stood upright, took a step back and stood with his head bowed.
"Before..." The king of Jin'an County slowly knocked on a few cases.
There were many people around him, from all sides, some of whom were sent by others, who were rewarded by the Queen Mother, who were given by the emperor to serve his pen and ink, who were given tea and water by the concubine, and who were given by ministers to nurse the horses.
, the driver, and even the one who made good tea, he called out to the servants and maids who nodded and smiled and brought them over. Some of them were chosen by him at random. When the new chamberlains and maids in the palace were assigned, he pressed
I'm used to picking a few at random.
Although the source is complicated, it is simple to say, he picked his own people, and the others were sent.
In the past, if any servants found to be unruly were found to be unruly, their own people would directly kill them. For example, he used to lure the wolf to harm his steward. The people who were sent were sent back to where they came from. He
Not handling it with my own hands.
"Our people will still be treated as before." Prince Jin'an raised his head and smiled slightly, "Those who were sent here will be sent back."
Mr. Gu nodded and was about to speak, but Prince Jin'an continued to speak.
"Beat him to death and send him back," he said.
Mr. Gu was stunned, and Eunuch Jing, who was hanging his head at the side, also looked up in surprise.
What surprised them was not that these people were going to be beaten to death. No matter how polite they were when those people were sent back, they were just telling the other party that they knew about it, so those people would only be executed by their masters when they returned.
It's just that it didn't pass through the hands of King Jin'an.
Whether they are sent back and executed, or whether they are executed and then sent back, although both are deaths, the meanings are different.
Mr. Gu straightened his face.
"Then, where are the people in the palace?" he said.
The Prince of Jin'an County slowly caressed several cases with her hands. Her tentacles were smooth and warm. She didn't know where she found the good things. Just like her, she was calm and reassuring.
"Precisely because they are members of the palace, we cannot be lenient. What they have failed is not the King's wishes, but the Queen Mother's wishes."
The voice of Prince Jin'an in the room spoke slowly.
"I have failed the Queen Mother, how can I forgive her so lightly?"
Mr. Gu looked at the young man in front of him.
"That means that His Highness was poisoned by someone this time, instead of trying to fulfill the reputation of His Majesty and His Majesty," he said.
It's not because the world impeached him for having evil intentions, or because he was loyal, filial, and righteous to prove his innocence, but because he was harmed by others.
If these people are beaten to death and sent out, then this matter will be completely determined, and it will inevitably cause a big uproar.
For the troubled court at this time, this was not a good thing.
It was very quiet in the study, and there was no sound in the yard outside.
The prince of Jin'an County laughed.
"Beat them bit by bit and send them to the palace. They should still breathe and let them admit their mistakes to the queen," he said.
Mr. Gu and Eunuch Jing were horrified again.
"My king did this for the reputation of his wife and your majesty." Prince Jin'an said, "I committed suicide just to save face, which made my wife so sad and sad, and I taught her a lesson. As a result, not long after that, I died.
Another life-and-death incident has occurred. Then what kind of behavior have I committed? Isn’t this a slap in the face of the Queen Mother? I want people to say that the Queen Mother is arrogant and indulges me, so I let this king take advantage of me and act like this."
He smiled again when he said this, but here his smile was only on his face, but his eyes were cold.
"It doesn't matter if my king is said to be fooling around, but I can't let my empress bear the reputation of being arrogant."
Mr. Gu smiled.
"Then by then, His Highness will no longer have the reputation of being a fool," he said.
A dozen servants were killed with a cane at once, and several more were sent to the inner court. I am afraid that the reputation of cruelty will spread throughout the country in an instant.
"People outside will not believe whether Your Highness was poisoned or not. They will even believe that Your Highness is just venting your anger." He continued.
The prince of Jin'an County laughed.
"What do outsiders have to do with me?" he said. "When I am poisoned, can they suffer for me? When I am cured, they can give me advice."
Mr. Gu nodded.
"That's true. His Highness has suffered and deserves a breath of relief." He said, standing up as he said this, "Then this matter is settled, I will make arrangements now."
Prince Jin'an nodded.
"One more thing, Madam asked Dr. Li to move to a courtyard closer to here." Mr. Gu thought of something and said.
Prince Jin'an frowned.
"I'm fine, why is he here?" he said.
Besides, she's here...
Eunuch Jing muttered in his mind, "Actually, that's what I'm talking about. With my wife here, we don't need to be an eyesore."
"Madam's arrangement certainly makes sense." Mr. Gu said with a smile, "Your Highness is the boss now, so you must be careful in everything."
Naturally, he would not object to her arrangement. Prince Jin'an did not speak.
"Your Highness has been busy all day. Let's take a rest early." Mr. Gu said, while looking at Eunuch Jing, "Eunuch Jing, let's go."
Eunuch Jing was stunned for a moment.
"This slave has to serve His Highness," he said.
"Madam is here, I don't need you to wait on me. You are good with your hands. Those brats haven't done anything for a long time. I'm afraid they won't know the importance of their actions and beat people to death with a stick. Come and set an example for them." Mr. Gu.
said.
Eunuch Jing looked unhappy, but seeing that Prince Jin'an didn't ask to leave him alone, he had no choice but to reluctantly agree.
"...I don't want to do these things. I just got my nails done..."
"...I'm not asking you to do it, you just can't do it..."
After hearing the two of them whispering and leaving, Prince Jin'an also stood up in the study room and looked around again.
What kind of books does she read?
There are so many papers for calligraphy.
After looking around in the study for a moment, the prince of Jin'an County came out, and the maids standing in the corridor were busy giving greetings.
Prince Jin'an stopped again and looked at the main room.
The light is bright, the doors and windows are open, the hanging gauze curtains show faint patterns of peonies under the light, and there are figures of girls walking around in the room.
"Your Highness."
A maid heard the commotion, lifted the curtain from the house and came out, saluting him.
It's that Su Xin.
"Are you done?" she said, "Madam made me a midnight snack."
She made the midnight snack specially for her own sake.
Prince Jin'an nodded and stepped over.
The two maids opened the curtains, and Prince Jin'an stepped into the room. He glanced slightly cautiously, but did not see Cheng Jiaoniang.
"Madam has gone to talk to Dr. Li." Su Xin said hurriedly, saluting, "Your Highness, come and sit here."
Prince Jin'an felt a little relieved and sat down by the window with some relief, listening to Su Xin's orders for someone to bring supper.
"Don't eat now." He said, "Drink some tea first."
Su Xin responded, and the maid of King Jin'an hurriedly went to pour tea.
The prince of Jin'an County was holding tea and looking at the room intentionally or unintentionally.
This is his wedding room.
He did not decorate the wedding room himself, and the place he chose was in a remote location in the mansion.
He thought about getting married, but he hadn't had time to think carefully about how to get married. That was his most important thing. Although she didn't care, it still had to be a successful and lively event.
I just didn't expect that they would get married like this in a confused way. He was sick and waiting to die, and she had a new loss in her family.
Prince Jin'an exhaled and drank the tea in his hand.
………………………………
"Madam, are you saying that Your Highness is not well yet?"
Doctor Li said with a somewhat nervous expression.
"But I looked at my pulse and everything is fine..."
At this point he felt a little frustrated.
It didn't matter if he looked at the pulse and it was fine. When he looked at the person whose pulse was failing, he was not easily cured by this woman.
"Actually, I don't know how to treat illnesses." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
Doctor Li smiled bitterly.
"Ma'am, what you say is so modest," he said.
"I'm not modest. I can do whatever I know. If I don't know it, I can't do it. There's nothing I can't hide from others." Cheng Jiaoniang said, "We Cheng..."
Her voice slipped out and then stopped suddenly.
Doctor Li couldn't help but look up at her.
"...My master taught me Meishan Tao." Cheng Jiaoniang continued, "It is not medicine."
Meishan Road! Meishan Cave Man! That is the land of the Wu family!
Doctor Li was shocked, and then a little horrified.
Witchcraft is something that is very taboo, especially now that Cheng Jiaoniang has become a member of the royal family.
"There is a way, and solving problems and relieving dangers is the right way." Doctor Li immediately said that he did not want to talk about this topic anymore.
Cheng Jiaoniang looked at him and smiled.
"I have cured His Highness's poison, but his body has suffered too much loss."
Now that Dr. Li understood it, she stopped talking.
"You must take good care of yourself in the future, and Dr. Li should pay more attention to it. Don't just ignore me just because I'm here."
Doctor Li smiled.
"No, no," he said hurriedly.
"Mr. Li, your medical skills are better than mine." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
Doctor Li felt his ears warm and smiled.
"No, no. Don't you dare." He said repeatedly.
"You're welcome, I'm just talking about medical skills and nothing else." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
Doctor Li's smile suddenly froze.
This woman!
He shook his head and smiled again.
Cheng Jiaoniang looked at Banqin aside, who hurriedly handed over a box in his hand.
"What is this?" Doctor Li asked.
"This is the fragrance you asked about." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
Doctor Li was stunned for a moment, then understood and immediately started talking.
At that time, after the wedding night, looking at the Jin'an County Prince who was being tortured, they naturally checked the house carefully and found a fragrance that had never been in the house before, not to mention the smell of medicine.
.
"However, it can only be used by His Highness, and no one else can use it." Cheng Jiaoniang said, "You can keep it, maybe you can use it."
Doctor Li's eyebrows were startled.
"Surely His Highness's poison is related to this incense?" he asked.
"It's essential." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
So that's it. Doctor Li took it with some surprise and solemnity.
"My family is in a state of shock these days. Although a group of unruly people have been swept away, who knows how many are still hidden." He said, "Someone has suffered a secret loss in this matter, and they will definitely not let it go."
Cheng Jiaoniang smiled lightly.
"A secret loss?" she said, "This is not called a secret loss."
