County's main favorite wife

Chapter 40 Poisoning

A day later, someone from the Gu family came to take Gu Li home.It was said that there was a reward from a nobleman in the palace, and Gu Li had to go home to accept the reward.

Qin Qi was dissatisfied, and Gu Li pressed his shoulder when he wanted to speak. "I've been away from Gu's for a few days, it's time to go back and have a look."

"Then... can Qiqi live here?" Qin Qi couldn't do without Gu Li now.I really don't want to be separated for a moment.

Of course, Gu Li also hated the little rabbit.Thinking of the face of the Gu family, the most respected family, she smiled and said: "As long as the eldest princess agrees, and the Gu family agrees, I have no objection."

Qin Qi smiled after hearing this.That's what it means to agree.Her mother dotes on her so much, so naturally she won't have any objections.As for the Gu family, what if they have opinions?She wouldn't care.Qin Qi joyfully asked Da Mi and Xiaomi to pack up.

Take care of your home.

Gu Li came back to receive the reward from the palace.A senior eunuch led several junior eunuchs to sit in the main hall. When he saw Gu Li and Qin Qi coming in together, he hurriedly got up and greeted Qin Qi first. "Slave pays respects to Princess Feng'an."

"Eunuch Chen is free of courtesy." Qin Qi stood beside Gu Li, acting like a little bird.

The great eunuch Chen Qi is the eunuch in charge of Yuehua Palace and the confidant of Concubine Wuxian.This time, it was under the order of Concubine Wuxian to reward Gu Li with a set of red gold headdress inlaid with gemstones and a pair of jadeite bracelets.It was to praise Gu Li for saving Qin Qi.Gu Li accepted the reward according to the ceremony.Qin Qi asked Rice to reward Chen Qi and the other eunuchs.After Chen Qi took the people away, the Gu family looked at Gu Li as if they had something to say, and because of Qin Qi's presence, the situation was awkward for a while.

"Qiqi, you go back to Qingxueyuan and wait for me first." Gu Li told Qin Qi to go back with the reward.Qin Qi left obediently.Gu Li turned to the old lady of the Gu family and said, "Grandma, do you have anything to say?"

The old lady's face darkened. "Li'er, what are you talking about? Why don't you go home these days, what's wrong with you? Don't tell me you're in the princess mansion, so you don't hear any rumors from outside?"

"What rumor?" Gu Li asked knowingly.Her gaze shifted from the old lady to the eldest lady Wu Siran. "Is it the rumor that I didn't return all night, and I'm afraid I've been humiliated?"

The old lady frowned when she heard this.How could a girl say such things directly?

"Li'er, you are the young lady of our Gu family. A woman's reputation is as high as the sky. Don't you know how to repent at all?" Wu Siran had a heartbroken face.

Gu Li smiled, with a clear and cold smile, with three points of contempt, two points of sympathy, and five points of indifference. "Ma'am, did I do something wrong? Those who misunderstood are those who don't know the inside story, why do you want me to repent?"

Wu Siran didn't expect that Gu Li would dare to attack directly because of the matter of reputation. "Li'er, we are also concerned. No matter what the truth is, your reputation will be ruined after all. It's better to stay in the mansion during this time and not go out to show your face. When the rumors pass, we will naturally find a good marriage for you. "What she said was so reasonable that even the old lady was very satisfied after hearing it.

Gu Li saluted. "Thank you, Madam, for your concern." She stood up straight and said slowly, "I'll say it again, please listen clearly. I don't know how to marry, and no one can force me to marry. I don't care if my reputation is good or bad. Ziqing, I don't need to care about the opinions of a group of irrelevant people. After all, I have a blood relationship with the Gu family, and I have received the care of the Gu family." Her eyes fell on the old lady again. "Grandma, if you think I've broken the rules of the Gu family, you can cut off relations with me. I don't blame you at all. "

"What's that called!" the old lady said angrily. "Li'er, you have become more and more unruly. Although Wu and you are not biological, after all, this is the status. What she said just now is reasonable, but you don't appreciate it at all. How can Miss Tangtang always say that she won't get married?" Don't you find someone to rely on for life? If you say this, everyone in the capital will laugh at you!"

Gu Li snorted coldly, "Whoever makes a joke has nothing to do with me?"

"You..." The old lady was so angry that she was so dizzy that she couldn't even stand still.

"Gu Li!" Wu Siran pointed at Gu Li and said, "You just came back and disobeyed the elders like this, do you still have the word filial piety in your eyes?"

The mother-killing enemy is in sight.Gu Li's eyes narrowed, and he said softly, "Ma'am, if you dare to point your finger at me next time, I will cut off your hand." Back to Qingxueyuan with Jiangmi and Xiangmi.

Wu Siran didn't react until Gu Li was completely gone. "She...she...was she...threatening me just now?" She had never thought about this kind of thing before.

The four young ladies of the Gu family stood beside them, and they were also at a loss at this moment.What did Gu Li just say?Want to break off the lady's hand?what's the situation?Is this Gu Li crazy?

"Old madam, look at Li'er...she is threatening me!" Wu Siran reacted and cried to the old madam.

As a daughter, disrespect your mother.Even if she was just Gu Li's stepmother, she was still her mother.If such accusations are spread, Gu Li will never be able to stand up again.

"She has become more and more domineering because of the eldest princess's favor." The old lady sighed, "Go back to the room."

The eldest lady winked at Gu Yin, and Gu Yin immediately helped the old lady back to the room together.

Ignoring the Gu family was half-dead from Gu Li's anger.It only said that Gu Li had returned to Qingxueyuan.Mother Li, who was injured before, was already able to get out of bed, but when she saw Gu Li, it was like seeing a ghost, and she dodged and dared not go forward.

Gu Li and Qin Qi ignored this.Sent four meters to play by themselves, they don't need someone to serve them.In the room, Gu Li was leaning against the head of the bed, and Qin Qi really crawled around on her like a little rabbit.

"Can't you be honest for a while?" Gu Li grabbed the little rabbit and held it down, and stretched out his hand to stroke her head. The little rabbit finally became obedient.

Qin Qi was stroked and his head rested on Gu Li's lap. "Sister Li, what did the Gu family tell you just now?"

"Because of the rumors, they were worried that I wouldn't be able to get married." Gu Li laughed, and the faces of the Gu family became more and more obvious.It is estimated that it will not be long before the picture will be seen.

"They're so annoying! They've already said they won't marry, why do they keep mentioning it again and again?" Qin Qi was upset.Why is my sister Li always coveted by others?

Gu Li bowed his head and kissed Qin Qi, "Don't be angry, sister Li is yours, no one can take it away."

Qin Qi smiled with satisfaction.Ever since the two of them...cough...what, I feel that sister Li's mouth is much sweeter.

"It's a strange thing to say. There is no reason, why did the concubine Xian give me something?" Gu Li couldn't figure it out.Presumably it has something to do with various forces in the palace.She lived in the eldest princess's mansion and was more or less related to the royal family.

"I don't know. But if you are rewarded, you can keep it. As long as it is something rewarded by the palace, it is always a good thing." Qin Qi inherited Qin Wenbo and the eldest princess' nature of protecting the weak, no matter what tricks it has, as long as there is a good thing, it will be good. Draw to your own home, this is the way to make a fortune.

The two were chatting in the room when Mama Li's voice came from outside the door. "Miss Li, the old lady has sent a girl over to deliver a message."

Gu Li walked to the door, opened the door, and saw the little maid next to the old lady salute: "Miss Li, the old lady is sick in bed, please go and take care of the sick."

Gu Li raised his brows slightly, did he get sick from her anger? "Understood. You go back to grandma, I'll be right there."

After the little maid left, Qin Qi poked his head out from behind Gu Li, "Sister Li, are you really going to serve Ji?"

"The old lady is my grandmother, and it is right to be filial to her. But now the Gu family regards me as an enemy, so what kindness can the old lady ask me to serve the sick?" Gu Li touched Qin Qi's forehead, " I can't accompany you anymore."

Qin Qi rolled his eyes, "I'll accompany you."

Gu Mansion, Hua Rong Zhai.

The old lady was lying on the bed, with Gu Yin serving beside her.She was so angry by Gu Li, she didn't want to see Gu Li at this time.But Gu Yin suggested that if Gu Li made such a big mistake, even if he couldn't serve him in front of him, he should stand far away and show his filial piety.The old lady thought it was reasonable, so she asked the little maid to pass on the message.

Gu Li came soon.But it was Qin Qi who followed behind her.Seeing Princess Feng'an approaching, the old lady didn't dare to push her too hard, and struggled to get up to greet her, but was stopped by Qin Qi.

"I heard that Mrs. Gu is not in good health. My princess came to have a look. Sister Li had to take care of her illness, so she couldn't accompany this princess, so I had to stay with my sister at the old lady's place. Old lady, don't you Do you mind?" Qin Qi seldom uses the title of princess to overwhelm others, and now he even calls himself "the princess", which shows how much he doesn't want to see the Gu family.

"Princess Feng'an was just joking. It's a blessing for the Gu family that you come here, so why would you mind? It's just that the old lady is sick, and she's afraid that the princess will be angered by her illness." The old lady said weakly.

Qin Qi shook the handkerchief, there was indeed a smell of medicine in the room.But in order to support Gu Li, she had no choice but to bear it. "The old lady has a long life, so how can I get over my illness? Besides, I'm sitting by the window, it's not a problem." Qin Qi really smiled and sat down on the chair by the window.

Only then did Gu Li say: "Granddaughter has met grandmother."

The old lady didn't fight when she saw Gu Li angry, but Princess Feng'an sat aside, she said she couldn't touch her, she couldn't catch her breath and coughed again.Gu Yin hurriedly patted her on the back to help her calm down.

"Grandmother, watch your body carefully." Gu Yin spoke softly, but when she turned her head to look at Gu Li, she gave Gu Li a hard look. "Grandmother coughs so badly, why doesn't Sister Li come over to help?"

Gu Li said with a smile: "Sister, this is a bad word. I am a martial arts practitioner with strong hands. I am afraid that if I am not careful and hurt my grandmother's body, it will be my big crime. Grandma, what do you say? no?"

After hearing this, the old lady coughed more and more, and it took a while to stop. "Okay, Li'er, you are really good! Grandma is old, but she dare not let you serve her. Just go and stand in the outer room, and think about what you have done wrong."

Before Gu Li could speak, Qin Qi's voice drifted over. "What did Sister Li do wrong? The princess also wants to know. I wonder if the old lady can explain the confusion? If the old lady is inconvenient to speak, it is the same for Miss Gu." Qin Qi got up and walked to Gu Li's side Stand still, with an expression of "Gu Li is under my cover".

The old lady was unwilling to argue with a little girl, so she winked at Gu Yin.Gu Yin was also unwilling to conflict with Princess Feng'an, but her grandmother didn't dare to disobey her intentions, so she could only say: "Princess Feng'an, Sister Li has a home and doesn't come back, which caused rumors to spread outside. The reputation of the Gu family is damaged. My mother just didn't After talking to her a few words, she not only refused to obey discipline, but also dared to speak threats, which made my grandmother fall ill. Such disobedience and unfilial piety, my grandmother is nothing more than a small punishment and a big commandment."

After hearing this, Qin Qi sneered and said: "Miss Gu is really good. Sister Li got injured all over to save the princess, and almost died. When I returned to your Gu family, not only did I not comfort her, but I also accused her every word. Your Gu family has such great rules, it's actually a mistake for sister Li to live in the eldest princess mansion to recuperate her injuries! Your Gu family is so dissatisfied with the eldest princess mansion!" Isn't it just a hat, who wouldn't?

"This..." Gu Yin turned her head to look at the old lady, and continued: "What happened to sister Li this time caused her reputation to suffer. Grandmother is also doing it for her own good, so as to avoid difficulties in getting married in the future."

Qin Qi couldn't help feeling angry after hearing these words.She raised her head and said proudly: "My princess didn't know that it was such a big crime for my sister Li to save my life! You all know the rules of the Gu family. If you despise sister Li so much, why did you go to my house and beg to leave me?" Sister came back? I begged to come back, but I was looking for her faults all day long. Did you arrest her and go back to jail? Since you think she is not worthy of being the young lady of your Gu family, why did you stop the relationship? The person you look down on is Ben The treasure of the princess." Qin Qiyue said more and more angrily, his face flushed red. "I know that your Gu family intends to marry off sister Li. Today, the princess has made it clear. Unless sister Li nods her head in agreement, no matter which marriage your Gu family tells her, this princess has the ability to mess it up. If you, the Gu family, don't believe it, just try it!"

These domineering words made Gu Li's jaw almost drop to the ground in shock.She thought that the little rabbit accompanied her just because she was afraid that she would be wronged, but she didn't expect that it was to warn the Gu family.

Also surprised were the old lady and Gu Yin.The old lady's previous impression of the Princess Feng'an was only that she was a spoiled little girl, but she didn't expect it to be so difficult to deal with.Even the emperor can't say such words.This is completely arrogant and unreasonable bullying.However, she happens to be Princess Feng'an, the jewel in the palm of the entire Mingxi Kingdom.The old lady has always disliked Gu Li and Princess Feng'an getting too close, because she was afraid that with this backing, Gu Li would not be able to grasp it.Sure enough, he was afraid of what would happen, but now that Gu Li hadn't figured it out, he pissed Princess Feng'an first.

"Princess Feng'an, you..." Gu Yin still wanted to explain, but Qin Qi waved her hand, "Miss Gu, don't think that the princess has forgotten what happened in Prince Rui's Mansion last time. Who dares to poison this princess? The princess keeps quiet, just to save some face for your Gu family in the face of Sister Li. If your Gu family dares to bully Sister Li again, and dare to criticize Sister Li, I will kill you Tell the emperor's uncle about poisoning the princess."

As soon as this remark came out, the old lady was at a loss, and Gu Yin was so frightened that she dropped the handkerchief in her hand. "Princess..." At this time, Gu Yin didn't dare to cry, and she didn't know how to speak if she wanted to persuade Ruan.

With such a reaction, the old lady immediately understood that what Qin Qi said must be true.Poisoning the princess of Feng'an is enough to destroy the nine clans.The old lady couldn't help coughing, and hurriedly told Qin Qi and Gu Li to leave.Princess Feng'an is such a big Buddha, she can't afford it.

"Yin'er, what's the matter?" As soon as Qin Qi and Gu Li left, the old lady turned cold.

Gu Yin knelt down on the ground, crying so much that she was extremely weak. "Grandmother, on Princess Rui's birthday, Xuan'er accidentally spilled a pot of hot tea on Sister Li's arm. Princess Feng'an was very upset at that time, but fortunately, the Queen Mother resolved the matter and arranged for Sister Li and the county The master went to change clothes. The granddaughter saw that Sister Li didn't come back for a long time, so she and Xuan'er took the maid to the side hall to find someone. She didn't want to open the door and see Sister Li...see Sister Li..." When she said this, she cried Get stronger and stronger.

"Seeing Li'er, what happened to her?" The old lady asked impatiently.

"The granddaughter saw Sister Li... hugging Princess Feng'an, the two of them looked very..." Gu Yin couldn't say it.

The old lady was so angry that she almost fainted again. "Are you telling the truth?"

Gu Yin cried: "Grandmother, how dare your granddaughter lie to you? At this time, the granddaughter, Xuan'er, and the two servant girls, Jasmine and Mingru, have all seen it."

"Then why did Princess Feng'an say that you poisoned her?" The old lady continued to ask.

Gu Yindao: "Seeing that the princess was smashed by us, she threatened that if we dared to speak out, she would tell the emperor that our sisters poisoned her. Sister Li also warned me and Xuan'er that she knows martial arts, and my granddaughter is really scared!" Gu Yin said Yin was crying hard, looking frightened.

The old lady recalled that the two granddaughters really had a very bad complexion in those few days, and they didn't dare to look directly at Gu Li. "It's unreasonable!" The old lady gasped. "Relying on some martial arts skills, you actually dare to threaten your sisters? Even with Princess Feng'an... No wonder the princess is so protective of her, no wonder the princess doesn't allow her to marry, now I understand it all! What a shame!"

Mama Yuan on the side hurried over to comfort the old lady. "Old lady, you have to pay attention to your body!"

"Our Gu family has paid attention to the face all our lives, and we are going to lose it all by this bastard!" The old lady was so angry that she hammered the bedpost.

Mother Yuan said: "Old Madam, this servant said something that shouldn't be said, now that Miss Li has the support of Princess Feng'an, and she knows martial arts, you are so angry, why bother to torture yourself?"

The old lady finally calmed down a little.That's right, it's a big joke that the Gu family unexpectedly produced a young lady who doesn't obey the rules and no one can do anything about it.

"Yin'er, go back and rest first, grandma will let you and Xuan'er decide on this matter." After dismissing Gu Yin, the old lady told Mama Yuan, "You invite Dr. Lu here."

Lu De is an old doctor who has served the Gu family for many years, and he has won the trust of the old lady.When Lu De came in, he took the old lady's pulse first, and opened a house for the servants to get the medicine.

Mama Yuan drove all the maids out, and only the master and servant and Lu De were in the room.

"Doctor Lu, we have known each other for so many years, and I know that your medical skills are superb. To be honest, there is an unruly servant in the family, but his martial arts is still high, and the servants can't handle him. I don't know how you can get rid of it. His martial arts?" The old lady asked.

Rude frowned slightly.Dispossessing people's martial arts is like killing people's lives. I didn't expect this kind-hearted old lady to be so ruthless on weekdays.

"Old madam, there are many prescriptions for crippling martial arts. If you want to trick people without anyone noticing it, here is a bottle of 'void'. , It's just...uh..." Rude just twirled his beard at this point, and stopped talking.

The old lady understood, she glanced at Mama Yuan, and Mama Yuan said, "As long as it's easy to use, just take it from Doctor Lu, and the Gu family will definitely not let you suffer."

Lu De said with a smile: "It's easy to talk about. This old man got this medicine by chance from Liguo in the west, and I haven't been willing to use it for many years. But the family's business is a big deal. If the old lady needs it, the old man will go home and get it."

"Naturally." The old lady nodded.

So Mother Yuan sent a trustworthy servant to follow Lu De home to get the medicine.In the room, Mother Yuan asked: "Madam, are you really going to abolish Miss Li's martial arts?"

The old lady sneered and said, "Isn't that girl relying on her martial arts? If she doesn't have martial arts, what if she is favored by Princess Feng'an? She is the daughter of our Gu family after all."

"But, Princess Feng'an..." Mother Yuan was also intimidated by Qin Qi's aura just now.

"Didn't you say it's colorless and tasteless? Who would admit something without proof?" The old lady closed her calculating eyes.

Qingxueyuan.

The maid brought the dinner, and the four meters were placed on the table one by one.Qin Xi said: "Sister Li, the Gu family has already treated you like this, why do you still stay?"

Gu Li looked at the food, "I'm waiting for them to come up with some tricks."

"There is more!" Qin Qi pouted. "Then when can we go back home?" She was uncomfortable staying here.

"I guess, grandma can't bear it anymore." After all, Gu Yin and Gu Xuan poisoned Qin Qi is very serious.It's just that Gu Li is curious, what is the old lady's way to break the situation.

Qin Qi took a mouthful of vegetables and put them into Gu Li's bowl. She did this very naturally.Then he took a bite himself. "The cooks of the Gu family are pretty good." The dishes they cook are not inferior to those of the eldest princess's mansion.

Gu Li hooked the tip of her nose, "Don't just eat vegetables, eat more meat. You're not a real rabbit." She picked up a rib and put it in Qin Qi's bowl.

"Okay." As long as it's Gu Li's care and love, no matter how much, Qin Qi will accept it all.

Qin Qi gnawed on the ribs, seeing that Gu Li hadn't eaten yet, "Sister Li, you eat too!"

Gu Li picked up his rice bowl, and just as he was about to eat, Qin Qi's face changed abruptly, and he clutched his stomach and said, "Stomach hurts!"

Gu Li hastily put down the bowl and chopsticks, "What's going on?"

Qin Qi shook his head pitifully. "It's not serious, but...it hurts..."

Gu Li hurriedly carried her to the bed, but found that her body temperature was higher than usual. "The inflammation in your body has exploded?"

Qin Qi shook his head.She felt no painful burning. "It seems to be a little hotter than usual."

Gu Li grabbed her wrist and lost some internal energy, but he disappeared without a trace.Gu Li's face became extremely ugly.Her eyes fell on the food on the table.
