Chapter 512: Head burst

From inducing Queen Pei to set up a banquet to adding allergens to the food, this is clearly a perfect criminal chain.
The mastermind took every step into consideration, and things developed exactly according to the planned rhythm.
With such a talent for crime, the person who planned this event must be a very clever person.
It's just a pity to use cleverness to poison people.
In one question and one answer, Gu Jiu pieced together the truth. Just still don't know who the mastermind is.
She observed Zhou Miao's expression, hoping to find a clue in his expression.
"Is Su Liangyuan the mastermind?"
Zhou Miao shook his head, "I don't know."
"Is Su Liangyuan a ghost for the dead?"
"do not know."
At this stage, Zhou Miao asked three questions, and Gu Jiu was very dull.
"I don't know anything, what's the use of you!"
Zhou Miao's eyebrows twitched, "Our family is not yours."
Gu Jiu snorted, "You took so much money from this lady, and you can't do a little thing, you still have a face to quibble."
Zhou Miao snorted twice, "Our family took the money and gave you the corresponding return."
Gu Jiu smiled, "Are you out of money again when you come here?"
Zhou Miao smiled, but said nothing.
Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows, "Your godfather Hu Jian is committing a crime, and even his godsons have not come to a good end. But you, you are also his godson, but you can be safe and get a promotion. Level. Could you save your life by betraying your godfather?"
Zhou Miao shouted wronged, "Madam, don't wrong our family. Our family hates two or five boys the most. It is absolutely impossible to betray a godfather."
Gu Jiu smiled, "Hu Jianzheng has so many godsons, except you, no one will end well. If you say that there is no shady deal here, who will believe it? If you say you escape danger by luck, who will believe it? In the palace, there is none. Luck from the sky. Duke Zhou, your methods are really admirable."
Zhou Miao looked solemn, and whispered: "Don't hide it, Madam, my life was bought with money. Guess, how much did it cost to buy my life?"
Gu Jiu looked up and down, "Sure enough, I bought it with money?"
Zhou Miao nodded repeatedly.
Gu Jiu snorted, "Your godfather also saved a lot of money, why can't his life be bought with money."
"Why the madam knowingly ask. Our family is a small person who has only been in the palace for a few years and has not committed anything. After spending money to get through the relationship, the above naturally opened one eye.
But my godfather is different. He is a big man in the palace. Some people want to make his money, but his money is too hot to ask for. And his name is on it, who dares to let him go. "
After Zhou Miao finished speaking, he laughed thiefly, and continued: "I was also lucky and got through the relationship early. After spending thirty thousand taels, I finally saved my life.
The new emperor was enthroned, and there was a shortage of people in the palace. I spent a few thousand taels to get the promotion to the next level. It's just that I almost fell on the Queen Mother eating allergies.
Fortunately, the lady provided information and helped me to turn the danger into a disaster. After this catastrophe, I am sure whether I will be very happy, and I will be lucky next year. "
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "The lady will congratulate the father-in-law on the auspicious success next year."
Zhou Miao didn't have the slightest embarrassment, and he said directly: "Good luck and profit also need the support of silver and two. Madam supports one or two, and our family must have a return."
Gu Jiu laughed, "I have money, and a lot."
Zhou Miao's eyes were hot. Of course he knew that Gu Jiu had a lot of money.
No one in Beijing has more money than Gu Jiu.
Although most of the money is not hers, it does not prevent everyone from treating her as rich.
Gu Jiu smiled and asked, "If you want money, you have to pay something."
"Isn't the news that our family gave to the wife before?"
Gu Jiu shook his head, "Of course not enough."
Zhou Miao frowned and asked directly: "What does Madam want?"
Gu Jiu smiled, "Ask you who is the mastermind, I guess you don't know. Just tell me what attitude your majesty and the queen dowager are like. Su Liangyuan died suddenly, what the court said about it."
Zhou Miao pondered for a while, "What does the madam mean, your Majesty and the Queen Mother know the mastermind of this matter?"
Gu Jiu smiled, "Is the palace peaceful these two days?"
Zhou Miao thought for a while, "It's still peaceful."
Gu Jiu asked again: "Your Majesty has a good temper these days? Is there anger? Can you turn over which brand of empress?"
Zhou Miao shook his head, "The weather is hot. Your Majesty is not heat-resistant and has a normal temper. He has never been angry or turned anyone's sign. The Queen Mother is said to have a good complexion, and Huyang County lord enters the palace every day to speak with the Queen Mother."
Gu Jiu knocked on the table, "Talk about Su Liangyuan's sudden death, what's the discussion in the palace?"
Zhou Miao said: "This matter has been sealed, and few people talk about it. Even if someone talks, they are all behind their backs. However, your Majesty specially sent someone to go south to inform the Su family that it should be innocent to come to Su Liangyuan."
Gu Jiu heard the words and clapped his hands.
After a while, Qingmei came in with a wooden box.
There was a thick stack of silver bills in the box, and Gu Jiu pushed the wooden box in front of Zhou Miao, "Answer my last question, the money is yours."
"Madam, please."
Zhou Miao rubbed his hands and stared at the wooden box, very excited.
He is a lover of money and never hides it. It can be said to love money and love magnanimously.
Gu Jiu stared at him with sharp eyes, "Is Jiang Shuyi dead?"
boom!
Zhou Miao's head burst.
He was dumbfounded, his eyes widened, and he looked at Gu Jiu.
His palms were sweaty, his heart was beating, and his muscles were tight.
He licked his lips, and it took a long time to find his own voice, "Of course he is dead! The first emperor ordered her to be buried, she dare not refuse."
"Oh!"
Gu Jiu gave a meaningful cry.
Zhou Miao's heart trembled, still rhythmic, shaking once and shaking three times.
"Madam doesn't believe our family?" he asked boldly.
Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, "My lady didn't say that she didn't believe you. It's just that Jiang Shuyi in my impression is not a woman who will obediently confess her life. You said that since she knew that Emperor Xian wanted her to be buried, she would go to death obediently?"
"Otherwise? That was the will of the first emperor. It was in the palace. Even if Jiang Shuyi didn't want to die, she could only die. She had no choice."
Zhou Miao snorted, his expression cold, and he looked very angry.
Gu Jiu looked at him strangely, "Why are you angry? Are you angry with her death?"
Zhou Miao still kept his face straight, "Can our family not be angry? Our family finally helped Jiang Shuyi to get to the present stage, but the emperor Xian's decree, years of hard work disappeared.
Our family wants to help Jiang Shuyi survive, but unfortunately we don't have that ability. At that time, she didn't dare to contact her, but even if she did, she couldn't help her. "
Gu Jiu nodded, "What you said is correct. At that time, the capital was troubled. My wife couldn't protect herself. How could she help her. Then she really died?"
Zhou Miao had already calmed down.
He looked at Gu Jiu with a half-smile, "If Madam doesn't believe our family, why don't you take a chance to take a look at the underground palace?"
Gu Jiu shook his head, "That's not necessary."
Zhou Miao looked down and landed in the wooden box containing the silver bills, "Can our family take this money?"
Gu Jiu knocked on the table and nodded with a smile, "You can take it away."
Zhou Miao was so excited that he hugged the wooden box tightly. A look of fear of being snatched away.
"Thank you for your generous donation, Madam. Next time you need our family to contribute, Madam must not be mean."
"Okay! Of course this lady won't be polite with her father-in-law."
"Farewell to our family!"
Zhou Miao hummed a small song from the countryside and left the palace.
The maid Qingzhu couldn't help complaining a few times.
"I will come here to catch the autumn wind after the break. He clearly uses his wife here as a treasury. When he has no money, he will find an excuse to come to the door. No, he doesn't even have to find an excuse now, and he will come to the door openly for money. The nobles in the palace, Why don't you clean him up."
Gu Jiu smiled, "Those money is given to everyone. Weighing the pros and cons, it is naturally to the valuable and willing to cooperate."
Qing Zhu whispered: "The slave and maidservant are not angry. Duke Zhou is too greedy. It's not easy for Madam to earn a little money. He has to be confident in asking for money."
Gu Jiu laughed, "If he is not justified, he should bear his grudges. In that case, my lady dare not give him money."
Qing Zhu still complained, and Gu Jiu stopped her, "Okay, don't talk about Duke Zhou. Go and bake a big bun to eat."
The big bun in Gu Jiu's mouth is actually bread.
I thought that the ingredients were inadequate these days, and it would not taste good when baked.
Unexpectedly, the baked big bag unexpectedly smelled of wheat, which was quite delicious.
Even Brother Yu loves to eat.
But he is still young and can only eat a little at a time.
After drinking a glass of frozen watermelon juice, the heat was relieved, and then she collapsed on the collapse and was unwilling to move.
This summer was particularly hot, but fortunately, it will rain for ten days.
The robin was still barking at the branch, making people upset and a little dull.
Green bamboo roasted three big buns, cut one by one, and everyone shared it.
Gu Jiu took a slice, tore a small piece and fed it to Brother Yu.
Xiao Cui rushed in with a hot body, first poured a large glass of cold water, then wiped the corners of her mouth, and said, "Madam, what have you guessed?"
"What's the matter?" Gu Jiu asked curiously.
"The second room's aunt has started, and she will give birth soon."
Huh?
Is baby coming out?
When is the due date?
Gu Jiu hasn't paid attention to the situation in the second room recently.
Xiao Cui said excitedly: "His Royal Highness came back personally, and specially invited an imperial doctor to wait. If this is to give birth to a brother, the second room will have the eldest son. Tsk tsk... I am afraid that it will be messy in the future."
Qingmei said: "In the future, chaos has already begun. Even if the second majesty cares about the child in the concubine's room, he shouldn't be so obvious. I really want to give birth to the eldest son of the concubine and tell the second wife to put her face away."
Gu Jiu idled to eat melons, "Wait for the news. It is a male or a female, and there will be news tomorrow at the latest."
