The Return of the Marquis's Daughter

How could Empress Wen really punish her right-hand man? She could only turn and look at Gu Yunzhou, "What are you going to do?"

Gu Yunzhou had a meaningful look on his face, and then he slowly said, "Mother, even if we find out something, what can we do?

No matter how ruthless Xu Fu was, no matter how powerful he was, there was no way he could get information from the mouths of some dead people!

"Are you trying to silence them all? They're four old maids from the Ministry of Punishment!"

Empress Wen never thought that Gu Yunzhou would think this way, "Do you know that those maids are now in the hands of Concubine Shu!

If Xu Fu takes over, it will be difficult for you to take action again! Don't treat that old Xu Fu as a blind man. "

Gu Yunzhou sneered after hearing this, "Mother, the people in the Ministry of Punishment are only more afraid of the consequences of this incident than we are.

If they really want to make someone shut up, they may not just take their life directly. They have thousands of ways to control people.

Those old ladies also have plenty of leverage over them, how dare they act so recklessly in front of Xu Fu? Besides, it's not them that I want to destroy!"

After hearing these words, Empress Wen was stunned at first, then she laughed, "It was I who was confused. How could I not be familiar with the methods of the Ministry of Punishment? We don't need to worry about the people of the Ministry of Punishment. As for..."

Everyone present understood what she hadn't finished saying, so Empress Wen stopped talking and looked directly at Nanny Qiu and Li Wangcai, "Let's forget about this matter. After all, that girl from the Qin family is a barbarian who grew up in the Qin family manor.

His behavior is not what you could have predicted. If you encounter him again in the future, you must be more careful and avoid such a situation again."

Aunt Qiu and Li Wangcai both breathed a sigh of relief, but still said with some dismay, "I understand. If we meet her again, we will definitely not do this again!"

"Okay, you all go down first!" Queen Wen waved at the two of them.

Nanny Qiu and Li Wangcai then bowed and retreated. The icy expression on Empress Wen's face also softened. She looked at her son and said, "It's a pity this time. Such a good opportunity, but she still escaped~"

"Mother, we can't be so hasty. Besides, we haven't achieved nothing this time." Gu Yunzhou's eyes showed a hint of ruthlessness.

Then he continued, "Mother, we should clean up the aftermath of Gu Minglan's matter, otherwise..."

When Empress Wen heard this, she was furious and said angrily, "Wen Ruyu is really a jerk who is more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything.

How dare she do such a thing at the flower viewing banquet? Has she considered the consequences? She really thinks that I, her aunt, am omnipotent."

"Mother, don't be angry. Isn't my cousin doing this to help us? Fortunately, there's nothing serious going on with Gu Minglan. Prince Yong is keeping a close eye on us, so we can't be careless at all."

"Now we know. Fortunately, the person in the imperial kitchen is just a palace servant who has been under pressure for a long time. This time, we don't have to worry about it and don't even have to find an excuse.

Even if he poisoned her for revenge, who would have thought that the poison would be mixed up? Who would dare to blame us then?" Queen Wen said nonchalantly.

But this time they still felt a little sad. After all, after this incident, they lost another insider in the imperial kitchen.

Gu Yunzhou nodded slightly, "Fortunately, everything is taken care of by the Queen Mother, so my son doesn't have to worry about it anymore.

However, it seems that Concubine Shu and Prince An will not let this go.

We should have our people keep a close eye on Xu Fu. As long as Xu Fu can't get any evidence, we'll see how they can continue to act."

The palace maids in the imperial kitchen are not like the maids in the Ministry of Punishment. If they are caught, they will not be tortured. They will probably be scared away.

Xu Fu's methods are comparable to those of the Ministry of Punishment. We can't let the little palace maid from the imperial kitchen fall into Xu Fu's hands. Only a dead person is the safest choice. We have to act quickly...

***

In a maid's room in the imperial palace, the little maid huddled in the corner of her bed. There was not a trace of light inside.

"Gouwazi, are you feeling better?" Gouwazi was so frightened when he heard the voice. When he heard that the person coming was Nini, who was rarely kind to him, he relaxed a little.

So he poked his head out from under the quilt and whispered, "Sister Nini, I'm much better now."

After Nini came in, she casually placed the food box she brought on the broken table in the room, then took a step forward and walked up to Gouwazi.

He raised his hand and touched it, and said with a look of relief: "Well, it seems to be much better, not so hot anymore. You have been sick all night, and I was worried for a while."

When Gouwazi heard this, his heart warmed. Sister Nini had always treated him well. If someone beat or scolded him, she would step forward and say a few words as long as she saw it.

"Thank you, Sister Nini. If you hadn't always taken care of me, I wouldn't be alive today!" Gouwazi said with a smile.

Nini reached out and took out a bowl of millet porridge and a small plate of beans from the food box next to her. "Hurry up and eat it while it's hot. You haven't eaten all day. You must be starving!"

Gou Wazi was stunned. "How did Sister Nini get all this food?"

"Shh, keep your voice down. I just bought this in the imperial kitchen. Just enjoy your meal!"

As Nini spoke, she picked up the small spoon beside her and handed it to Gouwazi, "Eat quickly, I can't stay here for long, otherwise~"

Gou Wazi's eyes were moist, "At this time, only your sister Nini is thinking of me."

As he spoke, he reached under the foot of the bed and pulled out a heavy, old purse. "Sister Nini, how can I use your silver? I still have some small change here!"

After hearing this, Nini tightened her grip on the spoon and an unnatural look of confusion flashed across her face, but she suppressed it in an instant.

Then he smiled and said, "This is only worth a few copper coins. As long as you can get better soon, it will be good. If you don't eat it now, it will get cold and it will be bad. If you really feel sorry for it, just help me with things in the future."

Looking at the small spoon handed to him, he started eating silently while crying.

He kept his head down, not wanting Sister Nini to see him and make her worry about him, so he just started eating in big mouthfuls and soon finished the bowl of millet porridge.

When Nini saw that he had finished eating so quickly, she quickly packed up the lunch box and said, "Okay, I have to go now. Just lie down and rest."

Then he left quickly and helped close the door before leaving. He was very considerate.
