The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 477

When Gu Jiao came out of Renshou Palace, she happened to run into Yujin who had invited Empress Xiao to comfort her.

"Aunt Yujin." Gu Jiao greeted her.

Yujin smiled pleasantly: "It's Doctor Gu, did you enter the palace to visit the Queen Mother?"

Since Princess Xinyang has investigated Gu Jiao, it is impossible not to know her relationship with Empress Dowager Zhuang.

Gu Jiao nodded.

"Has the princess entered the palace too?" she asked.

"Ah, no, I'm the only one entering the palace. The queen summoned her, the princess..." Speaking of this, Yu Jin smiled helplessly, but she didn't hide anything from Gu Jiao, "The queen wants to know about the young master. The princess didn't want to talk about it, so she said she was sick and stayed in the house, and asked me to come and report to the queen."

As for the queen asking Yujin, Yujin only shirked that she was a servant and didn't know anything about it.

Empress Xiao can torture others, but she can't do this to Yujin. First, Yujin is innocent, and second, Yujin is Princess Xinyang's confidant. If Empress Xiao dares to touch her, Princess Xinyang will not let her go.

A family, there is no need to make trouble to that point.

The two walked towards the gate of the palace together.

Gu Jiao has never liked to inquire about people's privacy, but since Yujin confirmed Xiao Liulang's identity, she no longer treats Gu Jiao as an outsider.

She took the initiative to say to Gu Jiao: "Actually, the relationship between the princess and the queen is not very close."

She used the word intimacy, which is a modification after consideration and beautification. In fact, the relationship between the two is very cold. The reason is that the relationship between Xuan Pinghou and Princess Xinyang is not good. I will not blame my brother for my mistakes.

So he had some opinions on Princess Xinyang.

Princess Xinyang is not someone who puts a hot face on someone's cold ass, which has led to the lukewarm situation between the two of them now.

"Sigh." Yujin sighed, "The queen and princess love the young master very much. When the young master is around, they occasionally talk. Since the young master... had an accident, the queen and the princess have hardly had any contact with each other. gone."

The only meeting was the last time Princess Xinyang returned to Beijing, and entered the palace to greet the empress.

However, this is not the friendship between aunts and sisters, but the gift of the monarch and his ministers.

What Yujin and Gu Jiao said was not to hope that Gu Jiao could do something for the two of them, nor was it to remind Gu Jiao not to say things that Princess Xinyang didn't say out of Gu Jiao's mouth.

She was simply gossiping with Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao is a very good listener. First Princess You Rui and then You Yujin are very willing to share their thoughts with Gu Jiao.

The two were talking, and they came to the gate of the palace without knowing it.

Gu Jiao came here in Xiaosanzi's carriage. Unfortunately, Xiaosanzi's carriage broke down and the wheel was a little loose. He was squatting on the ground to repair it.

Yujin said to Gu Jiao: "Doctor Gu, let me take you back."

Gu Jiao didn't refuse, she talked to the third son, and got into Yujin's carriage.

She could see that Yujin was still full of gossip and wanted to talk to herself.

After getting into the carriage, Yujin thought of something, and asked Gu Jiao, "By the way, is Mrs. Hou going to give birth soon?"

Gu Jiao said: "It has already been born."

Yujin was taken aback, and asked, "Didn't you say next month? Is it going to be born so soon? Is it a son or a daughter? Are you all okay?"

The word "capital" obviously took Yao's family into consideration.

Gu Jiao nodded gratefully: "It's the son, mother and child are safe."

Yujin smiled happily: "That's really great. You must tell the princess this happy news. Doctor Gu, do you mind going to Zhuque Street?"

"Okay." Gu Jiao said.

Yujin is not someone who only gossips about her own concerns, she is also very concerned about Gu Jiao's situation, and she almost asks questions related to the little guy and Yao shi along the way.

Gu Jiao doesn't talk much, and she answers very concisely. People who don't know her will probably misunderstand that she is perfunctory.

But Yujin understood that she answered every question seriously.

Yujin likes a girl like this, she doesn't play tricks, flatter, or superficially polite, all her cherishment and friendship are hidden in her details.

The carriage drove into Zhuque Street, Yujin opened the curtain to have a look, and found a carriage parked at the gate of her yard from a distance.

"Eh? That carriage looks familiar." Yu Jin murmured.

Gu Jiao followed her gaze and said, "It's Xuan Pinghou's carriage."

This carriage appeared from time to time in the medical center, Imperial College and Bishui Hutong, Gu Jiao had already deeply remembered its appearance.

Yujin was even more puzzled: "Why did Lord Hou come here?"

As far as the relationship between the two of them is concerned, when they have something to do, they usually find someone to pass on the message, and the number of times they take the initiative to find each other is very small, especially Xuan Pinghou. He probably understands that Princess Xinyang does not want to see him, so he never goes in front of Princess Xinyang. It's boring.

In fact, Xuan Pinghou was just passing by today, and had no intention of looking for Princess Xinyang, but he heard Princess Xinyang's screams, and it seemed that something happened.

He followed the sound to the attic of the study. Princess Xinyang sat slumped on the ground, her right foot was pressed heavily by the fallen bookshelf. The attic was cramped, and she couldn't retreat or get up.

Xuan Pinghou walked into the attic with a bow. In this attic, Princess Xinyang was able to stand up straight at the highest point, but Xuan Pinghou was too tall, and he had to squat all the way.

He removed the heavy bookshelf, and removed the books that had fallen on the floor. Blood was oozing from her shoes, and she seemed to have been seriously injured.

Xuan Pinghou frowned: "Why don't you see your Dragon Shadow Guards coming? Are they all just eating?"

He came from the street, not to mention that he came very slowly, but the distance was there. During this period, her Dragon Shadow Guards were fully capable of rescuing her.

It's ridiculous to say that knowing that someone rescued her, she still came.

But the Dragon Shadow Guard who was supposed to appear did not appear.

This made Xuan Ping Hou not know what to say for a while.

Say you're lucky you're here?

How did Princess Xinyang know that so many thoughts flashed through his mind?

Long Yi went out to do some errands, but she didn't bring the other four Dragon Shadow Guards to the capital at all.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Xuan Pinghou didn't force her to ask, he knelt down on one knee, intending to check on her injury, but she suddenly said: "Don't come here!"

Row.

Although they are husband and wife, they have only slept once in so many years, and they have to talk about the difference between men and women when they are together.

fuck.

"You are seriously injured." Xuan Pinghou said.

With this amount of bleeding, let alone an inch-long gash.

Xuan Pinghou thought for a while, saving people is the most important thing, he still has to get her down.

Xuan Pinghou reached out to hug her.

Princess Xinyang's reaction became even bigger, and she slammed to the side to hide.

Xuan Pinghou's hands froze in the air, he looked at her strangely, and said: "I just hug you down, I have no other intentions, it seems like this Marquis wants to take advantage of you."

The attic is too small, so small that she has nowhere to retreat, and the distance between them is too close, so close that she is surrounded by his masculine breath, her face turned pale, and the corners of her forehead began to ooze. Fine cold sweat.

Xuan Pinghou soon noticed her strangeness, he frowned even tighter, and said impatiently and self-deprecatingly: "Qin Fengwan, I don't eat people."

Princess Xinyang did not answer his words.

Xuan Pinghou thought she was disdainful to talk to him at first, but gradually he found that her body was trembling and her lips were bloodless.

"Qin Fengwan?" He looked at her questioningly.

"You...don't come here...please." Princess Xinyang said almost in a begging tone.

Xuan Pinghou has known Princess Xinyang for so many years, and he has never seen her humiliating to anyone. Strictly speaking, she is not humble at the moment, but she is begging him earnestly.

Beg him not to come near her.

Do you hate me that much?

Xuan Ping Hou stared at her fixedly, and then denied the idea for a moment. Rather than disgust, her reaction was more appropriate to say that she was afraid.

Xuan Pinghou didn't understand what he had to be afraid of. Last time he chased her down from the roof on the street, he caught her with his own hands. Isn't she fine?

He also coldly ordered him to put her down.

Where did that arrogance go?

Although Xuan Pinghou had some doubts in his heart, he believed that Princess Yang's condition was really not optimistic. Xuan Pinghou seriously suspected that if he didn't go out again, she would suffocate here on the spot.

Xuan Ping Hou went down to the attic.

It so happened that Yujin and Gu Jiao entered the yard at this time.

"Master Hou." Yujin saluted.

Xuan Pinghou looked at her, then at Gu Jiao who was beside her, and said, "The princess is in the attic, she is injured, you go and have a look."

The entire courtyard was only the study loft, after listening to Xuan Pinghou's words, Yu Jin couldn't care less about other things, and hurriedly took Gu Jiao up to the loft.

Seeing the two of them, Princess Xinyang breathed a sigh of relief, and the dizziness of suffocation finally receded a bit.

"Princess!" Yujin knelt beside her, holding her in his arms.

Gu Jiao checked the wound for Princess Xinyang. It was a skin trauma. There were two wounds in total, one of which was a bit deep.

Gu Jiao took out the small medicine box from the small back basket, and took the disinfectant to clean her wound.

Princess Xinyang's complexion was very bad. Gu Jiao originally thought she was suffering from pain, but when she was disinfected, her complexion improved a bit.

So, not afraid of pain.

"Is the princess uncomfortable elsewhere?" Gu Jiao asked.

The face she saw when she first came in seemed to be unable to breathe.

Princess Xinyang is extremely intelligent, so how could she not know why Gu Jiao asked such a question, she lowered her eyes, her eyelashes trembled, she shook her head and said: "No, I'm much better."

Gu Jiao gave her gauze-wrapped hand a pause: "Okay, don't touch the wound with water."

After treating Princess Xinyang's injury, Gu Jiao carried Princess Xinyang down from the attic.

Back in the room, Yujin took clean clothes and changed into Princess Xinyang.

Xuan Pinghou didn't leave, he hesitated for a while, and went to Princess Xinyang's house.

Gu Jiao left, and Yujin went to see her off.

Inside the room, Princess Xinyang was sitting on the soft bed, leaning against the cushion at the head of the bed, flipping through a book boredly.

Her expression has recovered, and she can't see the embarrassment just now.

"What's the matter?" Princess Xinyang glanced at him and said calmly.

Well, it has changed back to the former Xinyang.

Xuan Pinghou pulled a chair, sat down beside her bed, and looked at her for a moment: "Qin Fengwan, what's wrong with you?"

Princess Xinyang didn't look at him, her gaze was always on a book of poetry she was reading: "What's wrong?"

Xuan Pinghou stared straight at her face, not letting go of any of her subtle expressions: "There is something wrong with you in the attic."

Princess Xinyang said perfunctorily, "I'm in pain."

"Are you in pain?" Xuan Pinghou frowned impatiently, pointing to himself, "Or do you think that I have fought for half my life, but I can't even distinguish between pain and fear? Are you afraid of me, Qin?" It's windy."

Princess Xinyang pursed her lips.

Xuan Pinghou looked puzzled: "I didn't bother you much, did I? There's no need to be so afraid of me? I don't see you being afraid on weekdays, but you're not afraid now, why are you so afraid just in the attic?"

As if to confirm that she was not afraid of his own guess at the moment, he leaned in front of her.

Princess Xinyang did not speak.

Xuan Pinghou's eyes fell from her face to her hands, as she pinched the book, her knuckles were faintly white.

Xuan Pinghou sat back on the chair and distanced himself from her.

He asked himself that he had never done anything to make her wary. Among them, she was the one who was ready to raise the butcher's knife at each other at any time, she was the one who was not allowed to touch, and she was the one who took the initiative to touch.

But she was afraid of herself like this, and she was only afraid in the attic.

Xuan Pinghou squinted his eyes, and asked seriously: "Did someone bully you, Qin Fengwan?"

"I'm tired." Princess Xinyang closed the Book of Songs in her hand, and politely issued the order to evict guests.

Xuan Pinghou wanted to ask something more, but Guanshi Liu's voice came from the courtyard: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Your Majesty has summoned you!"

Xuan Pinghou felt that Princess Xinyang seemed to relax when she heard these words.

He took a deep look at her, and she raised her chin, holding on stubbornly, like a proud peacock, but her slightly trembling eyelashes and bloodless lips betrayed her one after another.

Xuan Pinghou's eyes dimmed, he stood up, looked at her, and put the chair back to its original place without stopping.

"Qin Fengwan."

He called her name, but she didn't respond to him. He looked back with a complicated expression, turned and walked out.
