Chapter 1043 Aren’t You Afraid That What I Take Out Is Poison? (89 Rewards)
Who was responsible for today's incident? Whether Princess Yun'an and Princess Qingyang were involved, Shen Zhinian has asked Xiao Zhouzi to investigate.
The fact that both of them were fond of Gu Jinxiao had already spread among the upper class circles in Beijing, so how could Shen Zhinian not know about it?
Shen Zhinian didn't care what method they used to make Gu Jinxiao their consort. But they should never use such a despicable method at Ah Xu's first birthday ceremony!
Shen Zhinian coldly ordered Xiao Mingzi: "You go ..."
After listening to this, Xiao Mingzi immediately said, "Yes!"
Because he didn't want to make things worse, Shen Zhinian only brought his trusted people with him.
When they arrived at the destination, she told Handan and Fuqiu, "Stay here."
The two said in unison: "We understand!"
……
The Gu family has a clean family tradition, and Gu Jinxiao usually stays away from women. But this doesn't mean that he, who has been in the officialdom for a long time, has never heard of dirty tricks.
Feeling the abnormal heat in his body, how could Gu Jinxiao not understand that he was being plotted against.
The little palace maid just now lured him out on purpose.
At this moment, the other party has disappeared.
Although Gu Jinxiao didn't know for the time being who had plotted against him and what the other party's purpose was.
But he knew that if he continued to stay here, there would be more serious consequences.
He tried hard to stay awake and stumbled forward, but his consciousness gradually became blurred and he could only feel his body getting hotter and hotter...
At this time, Gu Jinxiao saw a hazy figure in the moonlight.
The other person was wearing a gorgeous palace dress, with beautiful eyes and eyebrows, and was very charming, but her whole body exuded a chill that was frightening...
For a moment, Gu Jinxiao thought he was hallucinating.
Even if it's an illusion...
Shen Zhinian had already walked over, and a cold voice rang in his ears: "Follow me!"
Gu Jinxiao was dragged out of the rockery by her in a daze and came behind a bush.
People in the palace always have to be on guard against other people's attacks. Long time ago, Tang Luochuan prepared various antidotes and asked Shen Zhinian to carry them with her, and taught her some simple pharmacology knowledge.
Shen Zhinian never leaves those antidotes without him on important occasions.
But Princess Yun'an or Princess Qingyang chose to have someone lead Gu Jinxiao to the rockery, which proved that they wanted to implement their plan there. Staying for one more second would increase the danger.
At this moment, Shen Zhinian finally had time to judge Gu Jinxiao's symptoms.
The moonlight was like a silver thread, and the man's scarlet official robe with golden cloud patterns glowed coldly under the moonlight.
He leaned against the tree trunk, the patch embroidered with the Xiezhi rising and falling with his rapid breathing. Gu Jinxiao's fingertips dug deep into his palms where his wide sleeves fell, his knuckles turned white due to the force, and blue veins meandered under his pale skin.
The lines of his jaw were tense, his sword-like eyebrows were furrowed, and beads of sweat condensed on his eyelashes. His dark pupils seemed to be covered with a layer of water, and under the moonlight, they lost their former sharpness.
Gu Jinxiao's thin lips were pressed into a pale line, his Adam's apple rolled restrainedly, and the occasional muffled groan that escaped was crushed between his teeth, making him look like someone who was enduring to the extreme.
The stumbling walk just now caused the collar of his scarlet robe to tilt half an inch, revealing his delicate collarbone. A drop of cold sweat condensed on it, trembling in the moonlight and refusing to fall...
Extremely beautiful and gorgeous.
This flushed face is completely different from his usual cold and restrained appearance.
Shen Zhinian understood immediately that this man might have been drugged.
Fortunately, she knew that there were many dirty tricks in the palace, and among the pills that Tang Luochuan prepared for her, there was an aphrodisiac.
Shen Zhinian immediately lowered his head and began to search in his purse.
After what happened tonight, Gu Jinxiao owed her another big favor.
If he knew how to repay her kindness, he would give her a big helping hand on her way to the throne!
Little did he know... her hair was as dark as clouds, her skin was as white as flowing clouds, the corners of her eyes were stained with a faint red like peach blossoms, and every movement she made was full of amorous feelings. To Gu Jinxiao at this moment, what a temptation she was...
It's like a person dying of thirst in the desert, and seeing a spring of water right before his eyes...
Shen Zhinian had just found the pill when someone suddenly grabbed his wrist.
The next second, Gu Jinxiao took the initiative and pushed her against the thick tree trunk.
Although Handan and Fuqiu were guarding nearby and no one would suddenly come over, if this scene was seen by someone, it would be a huge trouble for both her and Gu Jinxiao.
Knowing that this man was drugged and unconscious, Shen Zhinian did not argue with him, but said coldly: "Gu Jinxiao, let go!"
Gu Jinxiao's eyes were bloodshot, his chest heaving slightly as he breathed, and he stared down at her.
Under the moonlight, the woman's face was delicately made up, like a slightly drunk crabapple, delicate and beautiful. A strand of black hair hung around her snow-white neck, so charming that it was breathtaking.
The lips are small and full, like peach blossoms in March. The deep red on the lips is like the morning dew mixed with the best lip balm, then dotted on the lip peak with fingertips, with just the right amount of translucence when smudged.
Gu Jinxiao's Adam's apple rolled with difficulty, and he slowly lowered his head, his hot breath spraying down...
Shen Zhinian just raised his other hand, ready to wake him up.
Who knew...Gu Jinxiao actually pulled out a hairpin from her head and stabbed it into his own thigh!
The severe pain made him regain consciousness. Gu Jinxiao let go of Shen Zhinian, staggered back a few steps, and knelt on one knee to apologize: "I am rude and offended the Royal Concubine Chen. I deserve death. Please punish me."
Drops of cold sweat oozed from his forehead, and it was obvious how hard this man had to endure...
Looking at his expression, you can tell how strong the aphrodisiac is. It is rare that Gu Jinxiao can still stay awake at this time.
Shen Zhinian didn't waste time and handed over the pill in his hand: "I didn't expect that Minister Gu, who has been cautious in the officialdom all his life, would still make a mistake sometimes."
After the words fell, Shen Zhinian suddenly felt a little embarrassed...
Because she was in charge of today's palace banquet, and Gu Jinxiao was drugged at the banquet, strictly speaking, she was also responsible...
You shouldn't say such things, it's really a sin.
Gu Jinxiao was stunned.
Why does Concubine Chen sound like she knows him so well?
Gu Jinxiao didn't have time to think about it, he took the pill from Shen Zhinian's hand and swallowed it.
The moment their fingertips touched, his heart seemed to be burned by something...
Shen Zhinian lowered her head and looked at Gu Jinxiao's red eyes in the moonlight: "I give it to you, and you eat it. Aren't you afraid that what I give you is poison?"
In her previous life, she and Gu Jinxiao fought to the death in the court. No one knew better than Shen Zhinian how cautious and difficult this man was.
When did he become so easy to trust others?
Or is it that Gu Jinxiao at this time has not yet grown into the profound person he was in his previous life?
