Chapter 234 Gu
Neither the Third Prince nor the Fourth Prince were shy people, not to mention that they were quite familiar with Concubine Ning. Since they were one year old, Concubine Ning had often come to Chenhua Palace to play with the two little ones.
So when the Fourth Prince saw Concubine Ning coming, he ran over with his arms outstretched, "Aunt Ning."
Concubine Ning didn't like hearing the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince call her "Empress", so she asked them to call her "Auntie".
The Third Prince is fine, but the Fourth Prince likes to play with Concubine Ning the most. It may be because Concubine Ning is playful by nature, so these two are a perfect match together.
"Oh, my aunt's baby." Concubine Ning picked up the fourth prince and weighed him, saying, "Ayuan has gained weight again."
"Hehehe..." The Fourth Prince grinned and started laughing.
"Aunt Ning." The third prince greeted her in a very steady manner.
Every time the Third Prince greeted Concubine Ning, she would be in a trance. Is this really a one-year-old child? This is too... serious.
"Ajin." Ning Jieyu nodded. Every time she greeted A Yuan, Ning Jieyu felt that she was greeting an adult.
Ning Jieyu walked to the side of the Third Prince and sat down. She looked at him and said, "Ah Jin, can I take your pulse and check your health?"
The Third Prince raised his head upon hearing this, looked at Concubine Ning, then looked at Gu Shijin, then nodded, stretched out his hand and said, "Okay."
The third prince is so smart. He is only one and a half years old, but he understands everything. He can understand what they are saying without any special attention to him. Concubine Ning really can't understand how such a talented child can exist.
The Third Prince was very cooperative, so Concubine Ning was able to feel his pulse quickly. Fortunately, there was no problem, and it was the same as yesterday.
Gu Shijin felt relieved when he saw Concubine Ning nodded secretly.
Ning Jieyu withdrew her hand, looked at the Fourth Prince in her arms and said, "Ah Yuan, can I feel your pulse as well?"
"Okay." The Fourth Prince didn't quite understand, but he would learn. He extended his hand to Concubine Ning just like his brother had just done.
"So good and smart." Concubine Ning touched the fourth prince's head.
The fourth prince was fine, and even had some indigestion from eating too much. Concubine Ning gently rubbed the fourth prince's stomach and said, "Ayuan, you should eat less. Be careful of stomachache."
"Have you been hiding food again?" Gu Shijin said to the Fourth Prince. Although A Yuan looks careless, he is actually very smart. It's just that his cleverness is not used in the right way.
The Fourth Prince blinked at Gu Shijin. Anyone who saw him like this would be struck by how cute he was.
Time passed quickly while accompanying the children, and it was time for lunch in the blink of an eye. Gu Shijin asked Concubine Ning to stay and have lunch with him, so that he could listen to Concubine Ning talk about the physical condition of the two princes.
"Sister, there is no other problem with Ajin and Ayuan's health, and Ajin's poison has not changed at present." Gu Shijin and Ning Jieyu are both casual and carefree. They don't have any requirements of not talking while eating or sleeping, so they started chatting while eating.
"Thank you." Gu Shijin said seriously. This time it was all thanks to Yue'er.
"Sister, I have something to tell you." Concubine Ning glanced at the other palace servants in the room.
Gu Shijin nodded, looked at the palace maids and eunuchs in the room and said, "All of you go down."
"Yes, ma'am."
After they all left, Concubine Ning took out a porcelain bottle and placed it in front of Gu Shijin.
"Yuer, what is this?" Gu Shijin asked with some confusion.
Ning Jieyu was a little hesitant at first, but when she thought of the lovely Third and Fourth Princes, she made up her mind and said, "This is Min Gu."
"This Gu is not poisonous, nor does it have much effect. The only effect is that it will react when it comes into contact with someone who has used Gu before."
Gu Shijin is such a smart person that as soon as he heard Ning Jieyu say that, he knew why she gave her the Gu.
Sometimes, it is not necessary to have evidence to convict a person.
As long as Gu Shijin can be sure that it was Concubine De who poisoned the Third Prince, she can use her own methods to make Concubine De bear the due guilt. Gu Shijin is not a kind person, nor is she a person with a very positive outlook. She can't continue to tolerate others bullying her.
"Thank you Yue'er." This was indeed what Gu Shijin needed very much at the moment.
"Then I'll help my sister plant it." Although this Gu does not harm the body, it is essentially a poisonous Gu and still needs to be planted in the human body to be effective.
"Sister, just give me a hand."
"Yes." Gu Shijin handed his left hand to Concubine Ning.
"Don't look, sister." After all, it was a worm, and it was hard for most people to accept watching it crawling into their body with their own eyes.
Gu Shijin shook his head and said, "It's okay, go ahead and plant it."
Concubine Ning pricked Gu Shijin's finger with a thin needle, then opened the porcelain bottle. The poisonous insect inside immediately crawled out upon smelling the blood, and crawled in through the wound on Gu Shijin's hand.
This poisonous insect is very small, almost as big as the thin needle that Concubine Ning used just now.
"Sister, that's enough." Concubine Ning took out another porcelain bottle and poured the medicine powder on Gu Shijin's wound, and the wound healed immediately.
"When sister encounters someone who has been exposed to the poison, the sensitive poison in sister's body will react, but sister, don't worry, this poison won't make people feel any pain."
"Okay, I understand, thank you Yue'er." This really helped her a lot. Now she just needed to find a time to try Defei.
After lunch, Concubine Ning went back because she knew that Gu Shijin still had things to do.
Indeed, there are many things Gu Shijin wants to do, but his body can't keep up.
She didn't rest this morning. Although she slept enough yesterday, perhaps because of her pregnancy, Gu Shijin started to feel sleepy again after lunch.
"Your Majesty, please go and have a rest." Although she didn't know what the Queen and Concubine Ning talked about in the room just now, Xing Zhu guessed that it was most likely related to the two princes.
Her Majesty would be worried whenever something happened to the two princes, but Her Majesty's current health condition did not allow her to worry.
After Gu Shijin fainted yesterday, Lu Junze specifically called Xingzhu over to warn her, asking her to pay more attention to Gu Shijin's health, worry less, and report to the emperor in a timely manner if anything was wrong.
Gu Shijin didn't try to be stubborn and nodded, "Okay, I'll go get some sleep."
Gu Shijin slept for two and a half hours. Xingzhu went to invite Imperial Physician Song because she was worried. When Lu Junze heard that Chenhua Palace had invited the imperial physician, he hurried over after finishing his government affairs.
"What's wrong with Concubine Jin?" Lu Junze asked as he walked into the house.
"See the Emperor."
"Everyone, get up."
"Your Majesty, the Queen is fine, she is just too tired."
