Gu Qingzhou prescribed the medicine, and the fifth concubine Tai Huayan made the medicine herself.

Hua Yan personally went to He's pharmacy, bought herbal medicine, and bought a medicine stove.

This is also what Gu Qingzhou ordered.

The shopkeeper is a very kind person, teaching her bit by bit, Hua Yan felt very relaxed.

"It's quite easy to decoct medicine." Hua Yan thought to himself.

She slowly started the fire with the ball fan.

The fragrance of the medicine overflowed, and Hua Yan took a deep breath in enjoyment. She liked the taste very much, and it was bitter but healthy.

"Auntie, how long will this medicine take?" asked Xiuxiu, Hua Yan's trusted maid.

"Five doses, one dose a day, and three days left." Hua Yan said.

Xiuxiu frowned: "Is it really that easy? It's not a big problem for you, concubine. I'm afraid you will suffer in vain."

Xiuxiu felt that the medicine smelled so bad that even good people would go wrong.

Hua Yan tapped her head lightly and said with a smile, "Don't talk about right and wrong. Miss Gu is a miraculous doctor, and the Overseer praises her. I believe she can cure my disease."

Gu Qingzhou's medical skills have been praised by the supervisor more than once, and Si Qiongzhi has also mentioned it many times.

Hua Yan quite believed her.

Hua Yan really thought: "I have been in the manor for more than five years, and I still have no children. If Miss Gu can help me with the conditioning, I should be very happy that the Overseer came late to have a child."

However, thinking of this, Hua Yan was always a little unwilling.

She didn't want to help the commander-in-chief have children.

In a certain corner of her heart, there is often a little bit of turmoil. Those thoughts, only she herself knew, and even Xiuxiu didn't tell it.

After several years of brewing, those thoughts never disappeared, but only grew stronger.

Because of this, Hua Yan is very resistant to having a child. She always feels that she has given birth to a child, and there is no other possibility in this life.

She didn't want this, she was looking forward to a miracle.

Xiuxiu stopped talking and sat beside her with her head down. She seemed to be thinking about something.

Hua Yan returned to his senses, glanced at Xiuxiu, and remembered some past events.

Xiuxiu is nineteen years old this year. She is the daughter of the shopkeeper of Huayan's family. She has followed her mother since she was a child and often plays at the Huayan's house.

At that time, it was still the previous dynasty, and the rules were not broken. Hua Yan's mother often said that in the future, Xiuxiu would be given to Hua Yan as a dowry maid, and the two would support each other in the future.

The dowry maid is a decent maid who can be the uncle's maid, and after giving birth to a child, she is a concubine.

Therefore, Huayan and Xiuxiu have been close since childhood. Although Huayan is six years older than Xiuxiu, they treat her like a confidant, hoping that Xiuxiu can help her in the family business in the future.

Men have wives, unless they are particularly unpromising men.

It's impossible for Hua Yan to marry a hopeless man.

Since Tongfang and his concubine are unavoidable, it is better to choose someone who is familiar with and loyal to himself.

Xiuxiu's character is that she will never pick troubles between Hua Yan and her uncle, and Hua Yan trusts her very much.

I just didn't expect that now Hua Yan herself has become someone's concubine.

"Xiuxiu, you are twenty in a blink of an eye." Hua Yan said.

Xiuxiu raised her eyes and looked at her puzzled.

Because of a new decree issued by the Nanjing government, women must be 20 years old before they can marry, and the servants of the Si family must abide by the law to avoid being sued by a military court.

Xiuxiu's marriage has also been delayed until today.

"I have to find a way to find a good marriage for you." Hua Yan smiled.

Xiuxiu's face flushed: "My aunt is making fun of me again!"

Hua Yan patted her head gently, like treating her younger sister: "Don't be shy, all girls are going to get married. In my opinion, the governor's house is a quagmire. Ask my mother to make the decision and move you out of the Si family's house. Only then is the future. "

Xiuxiu's face changed suddenly.

She looked at Hua Yan in amazement, her thin lips parted slightly, and a sentence hovered in her mouth.

She hesitated, and finally bowed her head.

Hua Yan could see that she was very sad, and she only thought that she was reluctant to give up herself, and said: "The two of us are also going to be separated. I can't drag you down for a lifetime and let you always serve me."

Xiuxiu lowered her head and said nothing.

Hua Yan boiled the medicine, and the house was full of medicinal fragrance, and she was relaxed and happy.

At this time, the maid Xiangyu smiled and walked up to Hua Yan: "Miss Wu, the house is so smoked, let me decoct for you.

Aunt Wu was too stunned.

She didn't expect that Gu Qingzhou asked her to fish, and she fished out Xiangyu.

Xiangyu is very honest and diligent in her work. The fifth concubine likes her very much.

Moreover, she is different from other servants, she never visits, and she is honest. Not long ago, Xiangyu gave birth to a son, and the fifth concubine also rewarded her with a three-month leave and a generous gift of fifty yuan.

Why is she a traitor?

Hua Yan was surprised, and his face suddenly did not look good. Her eyes were deep and quietly fell on Xiangyu's face.

Xiangyu's expression was also gray, and she took the small fan in Hua Yan's hand and slowly set it on fire.

According to the original plan, the fifth concubine stood up, stretched her waist and said, "Then you can make it through, I'll take a break."

She went upstairs.

Xiuxiu followed her up.

The fifth concubine gave Xiuxiu a wink and asked Xiuxiu to pay attention to Xiangyu's movements.

After a while, Xiuxiu came up and said, "Auntie, Xiangyu has added something to your medicine stove!"

Aunt Wu was very angry.

Afterwards, Xiangyu boiled the medicine, Xiuxiu brought it up, and handed it to the fifth concubine.

The fifth concubine was so angry that she patted the table and asked Xiangyu, "Who is the spy sent by you?"

Xiangyu's feet were so frightened that she knelt down to Wuyitai and kowtowed vigorously.

A few days later, the fifth concubine asked Gu Qingzhou to review it. After school on Wednesday, Gu Qingzhou took time to go.

"...I didn't expect it to be her!" The fifth concubine was very angry when she mentioned Xiangyu.

She told Gu Qingzhou all about Xiangyu's poisoning.

Gu Qingzhou pondered slightly: "Have you lost the medicinal dregs?"

"No, I asked Xiuxiu to put it away, so as not to turn over the old accounts in the future, there is no evidence!" Mrs. Wu said.

On this point, the fifth concubine is still very shrewd.

"Bring the dregs to me to see." Gu Qingzhou pondered.

The fifth concubine nodded and asked Xiuxiu to get it.

Gu Qingzhou asked the fifth concubine again: "Who is Xiangyu?"

"She said she was the fourth concubine's wife, but the fourth concubine didn't recognize her, so she was pimped. The warden said that the servant was just listening to the master, and Xiangyu couldn't help it, so she let her go and locked the fourth concubine. up.

The fourth concubine shouted that she was wronged, saying that I joined Xiangyu to frame her! What did I frame her for? She gave birth to a daughter, both mother and daughter are not favored, why should I harm her? "The fifth aunt was very angry.

Gu Qingzhou was silent for a moment.

She didn't answer because it was a little weird.

Gu Qingzhou asked the fifth concubine to try it out to see who would avoid suspicion.

Unexpectedly, they caught a poisoned one.

Isn't this stupid?

Gu Qingzhou didn't say anything at first, and only let the fifth concubine get a medicine stove to decoct the medicine by herself. She sold it, and when the result came out, Gu Qingzhou would analyze it again.

Then, she asked the fifth concubine to send money to He's pharmacy to support the He family.

This is earned by Gu Qingzhou's craftsmanship and ability, but He Mengde definitely doesn't want it to be given to the He family.

The He family maintains the pharmacy, which is the foundation of traditional Chinese medicine. Gu Qingzhou didn't want to break the foundation. This would destroy the traditional Chinese medicine, and she would be sorry for her master.

Gu Qingzhou originally wanted to say: "Whoever has a ghost in his heart will definitely avoid suspicion. If he sees you boiling the medicine and doesn't come up to help, whoever may be a spy."

Because the servant will definitely please the master, and those who dare to avoid disrespect are definitely ghosts.

She thought that the servants in the Overseer's House were smart, or that the master behind the servants was smart.

Gu Qingzhou felt bad when someone poisoned suddenly.

Not so stupid!

"That Xiangyu is really not from the fourth concubine." Gu Qingzhou thought to herself.

She was thinking that Xiuxiu had already brought the dregs over.

Gu Qingzhou turned over the medicinal dregs and saw hellebore.

"What, there are other medicinal materials in the dregs, right?" Mrs. Wu said.

"Yes, there is hellebore. There is white peony in the prescription, and there are 18 antisense in the herbal and white peony." Gu Qingzhou said.

"Yes, Xiangyu also confessed like this. She said that the fourth concubine asked her to let it go, and she said that Xiangyu was ignorant and messed up." Fifth concubine said angrily.

Gu Qingzhou held the dregs and pondered a little.

"Who caught Xiangyu and put the medicine?" Gu Qingzhou asked suddenly.

"Xiuxiu," said the fifth concubine.

Gu Qingzhou raised his eyes and looked at Xiuxiu.

Xiuxiu is a girl with delicate features, she is not as tall as the fifth concubine, and her facial features are not so beautiful. Her waist is exquisite and enchanting, and her skin is fair. When she looks carefully, she is quite charming.

Especially her bulging chest may be a good attraction for some men.

Xiuxiu guessed that she knew it too, so her slanted cardigan was tighter at the waist.

Gu Qingzhou likes to wear a slanted cardigan, and she deliberately closes the clothes around her waist, she can see it.

His eyes flashed slightly, and Gu Qingzhou smiled.

Xiuxiu's eyes shivered a little.

Gu Qingzhou put away the dregs, clapped his hands and said, "Miss Wu, the dampness and heat in your body has gone by 90%. As long as you don't addicted to alcohol, abdominal pain will not recur in the future. Then, we agreed last time. …”

"I will send someone to send 400 yuan to He's Pharmacy tomorrow. This is my intention." The fifth concubine said with a smile.

This is more than the price offered by Gu Qingzhou.

However, the fifth concubine didn't care about the money. She caught Xiangyu and was in a good mood, so she was willing to spend money to buy a happy one.

Gu Qingzhou's expression was slightly restrained.

She returned to Gu's mansion overnight, thinking about a lot of things.

She thought: "The road has been paved, and Si Qiongzhi's recruit should be here, but it's a pity that the servant named Xiangyu was kicked out for no reason. I also feel sorry for the fourth concubine, who became a scapegoat."

The whole thing was beyond Gu Qingzhou's expectations. She guessed that it was Si Qiongzhi who did it.

That day, Si Mu hugged Gu Qingzhou and turned around, Si Qiongzhi saw her from a distance, and Gu Qingzhou also caught a glimpse of her out of the corner of his eye.

And the military governor intends to marry Gu Qingzhou and Si Mu, and Mrs. Si and Si Qiongzhi must have guessed the wind.

Si Qiongzhi wanted to deal with Gu Qingzhou, at least to make Gu Qingzhou lose the trust of the commander-in-chief.

"It should be this weekend, Si Qiongzhi will arrange a play for me." Gu Qingzhou thought.

Thinking of this, Gu Qingzhou understood that she had no relationship with the Si family.

Mrs. Si didn't like it, Si Qiongzhi hated it, and Si Mu was lukewarm, so she couldn't put herself into the tiger's mouth.

Of course, she had no chance, and Si Xingpei would not allow her to have other thoughts.

Thinking silently, Gu Qingzhou fell asleep.

On the evening of Friday, Gu Qingzhou came back from school. After dinner, she received a call from the Governor's Office, which was called by the fifth concubine.
