The pretty widow is addicted to money, and the little wolfdog asks for a hug

After leaving the palace and getting on the carriage, Qi Yuanshuo held Gu Qinghuai's hand and asked in a low voice: "Sister Xiaohuai, where did you go just now? Did that old vicious woman embarrass you?"

Gu Qinghuai leaned on his shoulder and snorted softly, "Concubine Liang Shu called me over, but she said she was not feeling well and asked me to wait for her outside Yaohua Palace. I waited for a long time, but no one came to let me in. I asked the palace maids and eunuchs when Concubine Liang Shu would see me. They all said in a bad mood, 'Just wait if I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?' I was worried that you would have trouble dealing with it, so I just left it alone and came over."

"That woman obviously sent you away on purpose and tortured you!" Qi Yuanshuo was distressed. "However, if you leave directly, she will definitely make trouble again and say that you despise the Imperial Concubine and the imperial power."

Gu Qinghuai smiled faintly: "She doesn't dare to mention it. Once she mentions it, it will further prove that she did conspire with Liang Yueru to plot against you."

Qi Yuanshuo sighed slightly, "Sister Xiaohuai, I don't want you to suffer any more grievances, so I have to speed up."

Gu Qinghuai looked up at him and said with a smile: "I can cooperate with you. I have a way to make them too busy to take care of themselves."

As long as their family assets, military pay and food supplies are taken away, they will not be able to jump up and down.

Qi Yuanshuo held Gu Qinghuai's hand and said affectionately: "Thank you, Sister Xiaohuai, you don't need to do anything for me, you just need to protect yourself and wait for me quietly." Yaohua Palace.

"Idiots! A bunch of idiots! Don't you have any brains?" After Concubine Liang Shu learned what happened by the willow pond, she was so angry that her face turned hideous and she raised her hand to sweep away the teacups and cakes on the table.

But she was still not satisfied, so she grabbed various things around her and smashed them to the ground. The eunuchs and palace maids were so frightened that they were silent and dared not move.

The third prince, Liang Yueru, and Liang Qianxi stood in the inner hall with their heads hung, all of them looking extremely depressed.

"Do you know that the three of you, and that dog slave Eunuch Tian, ​​have disgraced me today? Everyone in the imperial capital is laughing at me! They are all scolding me for bullying others by abusing my power!" Concubine Liang pointed at the three people and shouted hysterically.

The Third Prince patiently explained, "Mother, please don't be angry yet. What happened today was very strange. First it was Eunuch Tian, ​​then Qianxi, Yueru and I. We all couldn't help but speak the truth, and then our emotions got out of control, as if something was controlling us."

"Yes, I think so too! I... I can't control my emotions. There are some things I don't want to say, but I just can't help saying them," Liang Yueru immediately nodded in agreement.

The third prince glanced at her with a distant and cold look in his eyes.

His cousin really disappointed him today.

Liang Qianxi trembled and said, "Aunt, could there be a ghost? Maybe... maybe we have all encountered a ghost? I heard that many people have died in that pool."

"Nonsense! What's going on? It must be that widow and Zhao Xiaoshi who drugged you!" Concubine Liang Shu took a few deep breaths and tried her best to suppress her anger.

The Third Prince raised his head and said, "Mother, the three of us haven't changed our clothes yet. Should we ask the imperial physician who is good at poisons in the Imperial Hospital to check and see if we have been poisoned?"

Liang Yueru raised her arm and sniffed her body, but did not smell anything strange.

Concubine Liang Shu nodded and said to the eunuch standing aside, who looked like a quail: "Go to the Imperial Hospital and invite Doctor Mao!"

"Yes," the eunuch responded respectfully and went out.

Doctor Mao arrived soon. He examined the three people carefully and found no toxic substances, nor any drugs that could make people lose their minds.

The Third Prince frowned, "This is rather strange. Something must have happened at that time."

Liang Yueru also thought so, but Liang Qianxi was the only one who thought they were possessed by evil spirits.

"Forget it, I'll investigate this matter later." Concubine Liang Shu slumped on the couch, rubbing her brows weakly. "Tomorrow morning, Zhao Xiaoshi and the Fourth Prince will definitely impeach me for this matter. If the Emperor asks me about it, I will say that Qianxi loved the young general terribly, but the young general ignored her. Qianxi came to me crying and begged, and I took this desperate measure out of pity for my niece. This way, the seriousness of this matter can be reduced a lot. Qianxi, do you remember this?"

"Yes, aunt, Qianxi will remember it," Liang Qianxi said in a trembling voice.

The next day, Qi Yuanshuo and Prince Yi both attended court. In the court, they reported to the emperor indignantly what had happened yesterday, and impeached Concubine Liang Shu for abusing her power and bullying others.

The emperor was so angry that his face looked gloomy.

Upon seeing this, the Fourth Prince also tried his best to recount the evil deeds of Concubine Liang, the Third Prince, and the Liang sisters, and the Fourth Prince's men also echoed them.

Because the evidence was too conclusive, the emperor had no choice but to protect Concubine Liang and the third prince.

The people on the Third Prince's side could only make excuses according to Concubine Liang Shufei's ideas, but in the face of solid evidence, no matter how much they said, it was all pale and powerless.

The morning court ended quickly, and the emperor went to Yaohua Palace angrily and reprimanded Concubine Liang Shufei.

Concubine Liang was kneeling on the ground, crying like a pear blossom in the rain, looking weak and innocent.

The emperor softened his heart again and only fined her one year's monthly salary and asked her to send an apology gift to the young general.

Even so, Concubine Liang was still so angry that she smashed things.

Liang Qianxi and Liang Yueru were completely humiliated and afraid of being criticized, so they hardly dared to go out.

Liang Qianxi fell into the water and was rescued by two sons of aristocratic families. She also openly said that she was hugged by the young general. Her reputation was completely ruined. Even with the power of the Liang family, she could not find a good family.

For this reason, Liang Qianxi hated Gu Qinghuai so much and felt that it was Gu Qinghuai's existence that blocked her way.

She secretly swore that she would never let Gu Qinghuai have an easy time.

Gu Qinghuai and Qi Yuanshuo both knew that the emperor favored Concubine Liang Shu and would not punish her in any substantial way.

But it's also quite satisfying to piss her off and make her lose face.

Happy days always pass by in a flash, and soon, Qi Yuanshuo's vacation was over.

He reluctantly returned to the northern border, and little Huhu cried when he left.

Gu Qinghuai also plans to return to Tuniu Village in a dozen days, after the hot pot restaurant business stabilizes.

During this period, whenever she had time, she would go to Prince Yi's Mansion to accompany Princess Leyang.

After taking the pills given by Gu Qinghuai, and with the nourishment she had received during this period, Princess Leyang's face gained some flesh, her skin became smoother and more delicate, and even her hair turned black. The hair a few inches away from her scalp was all black, forming a sharp contrast with the gray hair at the back.

Princess Leyang looks only 20% like the Qi Yuanxiu brothers, 40% to 50% like the emperor, and the remaining 20% ​​probably inherited the looks of the late queen. She is also a great beauty.

At this time, she has recovered to the state she was in two years ago.
