The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 554 Love (Part 1)

In the medical center, Xiao Heng is chatting with the second owner's family in the study room. Recently, Gu Jiao lives in the medical center, and Xiao Heng comes here more often.

"Brother Xiao, Brother Xiao."

Outside the door, Xiao Jiangli waved to Xiao Heng in a low voice.

Xiao Heng looked outside the door, and said to Erdong's family who was making tea: "...excuse me, I'll go see if Jiaojiao is back."

The second boss hurriedly said: "Go!"

The young couple are really affectionate. I think he and his wife were so close to each other back then, but the years passed and he couldn't afford the public rations, so he didn't dare to join his wife.

Xiao Heng left the study, and went to a warehouse downstairs with Xiao Jiangli.

Xiao Jiangli looked outside to make sure no one was approaching before closing the door, and whispered to Xiao Heng: "Brother Xiao, there was someone in Sister Mo's room."

Xiao Jiangli is a drug boy in the medical center, on the surface he is there to relieve Mo Qianxue, but in fact he is a little spy sent by Xiao Heng.

After all, Xiao Heng was not the person Mo Qianxue really knew, so he was somewhat wary of Mo Qianxue.

"Who?" he asked.

Xiao Jiangli shook her head: "I didn't see her appearance clearly, but her voice was a woman who was about the same age as Sister Mo, maybe a bit louder, and her voice was not as young and pleasant as Sister Mo's."

Xiao Heng had read the files of the Xianleju case, and knew that Mo Qianxue was seventeen this year, and Xiao Heng, who was a little older than her, was the first to think of Hua Xiyao.

Hua Xiyao is nineteen, from Fucheng.

Of course, the birthplace can be faked, as can the age, but Xing Shangshu has seen Hua Xiyao, and he judges that Hua Xiyao's age is less than twenty.

Xiao Jiangli said: "She gave me medicine as soon as she came."

Xiao Heng frowned: "You have been drugged? Are you okay?"

Xiao Jiangli shook her head again. It felt so good to be cared about. Xiao Jiangli patted her chest happily and said, "Those medicines are useless to me."

"What do you mean useless?" Xiao Heng was puzzled.

Xiao Jiangli scratched her braids: "It's just that I'm in good health and I'm especially resistant to drugs! That's what my brother said! I'm also good at drinking!"

Xiao Heng: ...You are only nine years old and you can drink alcohol?

Xiao Heng said: "You are still young, don't drink in the future."

"Hmm...Okay." Xiao Jiangli felt that this suggestion was not unacceptable, since she didn't like drinking anyway.

Xiao Heng said again: "Tell me what happened after you were drugged.

"

Xiao Jiangli recalled: "After being drugged, I was a little sleepy, so I pretended to be asleep. What she gave me was Mongolian sweat medicine, and she said so."

This is very strange.

The normal statement should be that I heard her say that what she gave me was Mongolian sweat medicine.

But Xiao Jiangli's words were clearly because she knew it was Mongolian sweat medicine, and she got confirmation from the other party later.

Xiao Heng asked: "Do you still know Mongolian sweat medicine?"

Xiao Jiangli said proudly: "I have been a medicine boy for so long, so of course I know each other. I also know arsenic and Hedinghong!"

Xiao Heng didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Okay, you continue."

Xiaojiang Li said: "I heard that person say that the three-day deadline is up, when is my sister going to attack him? Is my sister's heart soft and she can't do it? Brother Xiao, who is the 'he' she is talking about?" Yeah? Is that you?"

It's Gu Jiao.

Xiao Heng's eyes turned cold: "It's not me, is there any more?"

Xiao Jiangli said: "She said, 'The young master asked me to tell you that the plan has changed, and within three days, lead him out of the capital!"'"

Lead out of the capital within three days?

The simpler the words, the greater the amount of information contained.

Why did the young master of Xianleju suddenly give up killing Gu Jiao? Did the young master of Xianleju think that Mo Qianxue could not succeed, or did the other party think that Gu Jiao could be reused?

Killing Gu Jiao and leading Gu Jiao out of the capital are different in terms of difficulty, but if you put them in the whole incident, you will find that the two are essentially the same, that is, you must gain Gu Jiao's absolute trust.

And if Mo Qianxue did this, no matter if she killed Gu Jiao or lured Gu Jiao out of the city, she could do it.

It can be deduced from this that it should be the latter - Gu Jiao's use value.

What do they want to use Gu Jiao for?

Xiao Heng closed his eyes and connected all the incidents related to Xianleju in his mind. Suddenly, a bold speculation emerged—they wanted to catch Gu Jiao outside the city and use Gu Jiao to lure him out .

It's those forces!

He could almost be sure that once he fell into the hands of those people, the young master of Xianleju would immediately order Gu Jiao to be killed.

...

After Gu Jiao came out of the imperial study, she went to Renshou Palace.

Xiao Qingkong was swinging in the front yard, and Xiao Jiu was tearing down the birdcage made for him by the palace man on the nearby snow.

It doesn't know why recently, it's a bit like tearing down the house.

"Jiaojiao!"

Xiao Jingkong saw Gu Jiao at a glance, stopped the swing, jumped off the seat, and rushed towards Gu Jiao.

On a snowy day, he was sweating profusely.

Gu Jiao wiped his sweat with a handkerchief, then touched his neck, it was also wet with sweat.

"Go in and change clothes." Gu Jiao said.

"Okay Jiaojiao!" Xiao Qingkong responded obediently, holding Gu Jiao's hand and jumping into the inner hall.

The Empress Dowager Zhuang was stealing candied fruit in her bedroom, when she heard the small sound of blah blah, she quickly hid the candied fruit.

"Auntie." Gu Jiao entered the room and greeted Empress Dowager Zhuang.

"Hmm." The Empress Dowager Zhuang solemnly opened the booklet on the desk, and pretended to read it.

Although she no longer listens to politics behind the curtain, some booklets will still be sent to her, but the number of them has been less recently, presumably Mr. Zhuang has gradually become estranged from her.

Xiao Jingkong lived in Renshou Palace before, and his clothes are kept here.

Gu Jiao found a set inside and out for him to change into.

When changing clothes, Xiao Jingkong said to Gu Jiao: "Jiaojiao, little brother agrees, when are you going to meet him?"

Gu Jiao said: "Anytime is fine, is he in Bixia Palace now?"

"Yes, yes!" After Xiao Jingkong finished speaking, he was suddenly stunned, "Huh? How did Jiaojiao know that he was the little brother of Bixia Palace?"

Gu Jiao bent the corners of her lips, pointed at his bright forehead with her fingertips and said, "Because I have magic powers, I can see through the thoughts in your head."

Xiao Jingkong hugged his little head: "I didn't want to play truant! No, no, no!"

Gu Jiao couldn't hold back, and laughed haha!

Gu Jiao laughed less, and even less often when she laughed out loud.

Her laugh is always weird.

Empress Dowager Zhuang didn't laugh when she heard Xiao Jingkong's words, but seeing Gu Jiao laughing hahaha, she couldn't help laughing.

Gu Jiao laughed enough, and Xiao Qingkong's face turned red.

"I really didn't want to skip school." He said guiltily.

Knowing that Gu Jiao wanted to treat Huangfu Xian's leg, Empress Dowager Zhuang did not object, she asked Eunuch Qin to go to Bixia Hall.

Not long after, Eunuch Qin came back and reported with an embarrassing expression: "Mr. Xian'er won't come, he said... he died."

Empress Dowager Zhuang said: "He said it himself?"

This question was asked, could it be that Princess Ning An said it for him?

Eunuch Qin said: "Yes, he said it himself, and his attitude is very firm."

Empress Dowager Zhuang sighed: "Then let him go."

He doesn't like it himself, so he can't be tied up here. It's not a minor ailment, just choke his mouth and pour a bowl of medicine.

If he doesn't cooperate, the doctor can't cure it.

Don't talk about using the Queen Mother's order to suppress him or something, that child can resist the order at first glance.

"Pass the meal." Empress Dowager Zhuang said to Eunuch Qin.

Little headroom disappoints.

On the carriage back, Xiao Jingkong said nothing.

His little mood was low.

Gu Jiao didn't know how to comfort him, touched his little mushroom head, and said softly, "Do you want to hug him?"

Xiao Qingkong turned around and threw herself into Gu Jiao's arms.

Gu Jiao hugged his soft little body, stroking his little back one after another.

"Why doesn't my little brother want to heal his legs?"

"possible……"

Are you desperate for life?

I can't find the motivation to live. I don't care whether I have legs, whether I am standing or sitting, or even kneeling and crawling.

Xiao Qingkong felt sad and fell asleep in Gu Jiao's arms.

Gu Jiao took him back to Bishui Hutong.

When she was about to get out of the carriage with Xiao Qingkong in her arms, Xiao Heng stepped out of the yard first, and stretched out her hand: "I'll come."

"Okay." Gu Jiao handed Xiao Heng the sleeping Xiaoqingkong.

When leaving Gu Jiao, Xiao Jing Kong struggled a bit, but after falling into Xiao Heng's arms, he continued to sleep soundly with his pillow on his arms.

Xiao Heng put the little guy back into the West Room, took off his coat and shoes, and pulled the quilt over him.

Gu Jiao was about to go to the clinic, Xiao Heng came out and called her back: "Jiaojiao, I have something to tell you."

The two went to the East House.

Gu Jiao lit an oil lamp.

Xiao Heng adjusted the wick to the brightest and lit another oil lamp.

Gu Jiao actually likes brighter rooms, but she didn't tell anyone.

Gu Jiao sat on the chair, resting her chin on one hand and looking at Xiao Heng who was seriously adjusting the wick, her heart suddenly felt warm.
