Chapter 203: The two concubines compete for favor
"Niangniang, even if this is the case, it cannot prove that the woman who was thrown into the snake cave two days ago escaped. The man said.
Gu Tianqing's cold gaze fell on him: "Then you jump into the snake cave to see if she is still there." ”
The man's face turned pale, and he did not dare to speak.
Even if he has martial arts and enters the snake cave, there is only one way to die. It was precisely because of this that he felt that it was impossible for the woman to escape from the snake cave.
Gu Tianqing sneered: "Guard this secret room well, don't let people find out." If someone finds out......" A killing intent flashed in Gu Tianqing's eyes, "Just kill it!"
"The subordinates obeyed. ”
"If you can't keep it, you don't have to live!"
Gu Tianqing came out of the secret room, returned to the room, and lay on the couch, her head hurting for a while.
Pearl has been by her side for many years, and when she saw this, she immediately came over and rubbed her head for her, so that Gu Tianqing felt better.
Gu Tianqing had a hunch that the must still be alive.
Gu Tianqing suddenly became restless, she must go and take a look.
Ganquan Palace side hall.
Gu Tianlan grinded the ink, grinding and grinding, and then he didn't move.
Li Yan was copying the calligraphy, his little face bulging, his chubby hand holding the pen, his long eyelashes brushing one by one, and writing very seriously. He began to read at the age of three, and by the age of four he could already write articles. His handwriting is round, immature, and quite delicate.
Li Yan was quite satisfied with the copy he copied, and wanted to show it off, but he didn't even respond to the stupid slave who coughed twice.
Li Yan stared at the motionless hand, and when he looked up again, he saw that her eyes were closed, her lips were slightly open, and her breathing was steady, as if she was asleep.
This stupid slave can fall asleep standing up......
Li Yan was angry and funny, staring at her sleeping position for a while, and then felt that something was wrong.
She was in a bad mood for the past two days, yawning for days, as if she hadn't slept all night. But she seemed to be very happy, and sometimes she laughed out loud when she grinded the ink, as if she was hiding something particularly interesting in her heart.
It looked like something bad had been done.
Li Yan poked at her hand, Gu Tianlan opened her eyes suddenly, and with a shake of her hand, the ink spilled out, all over her face.
Li Yan couldn't help but laugh.
Gu Tianlan hurriedly went to wash his face.
Li Yan lay on the side and stared at her face.
"Why does this temple think that your face looks fake?" Her eyes were smart and beautiful, and they were too incommensurate with this ordinary face. Li Yan is young, and he also sees the clues.
"Yes, in fact, a layer of human skin mask is pasted, and when you take it off, it looks like your mother's mother. Gu Tianlan said.
"Don't make fun of my mother. Li Yan said seriously, "Otherwise, I will be angry." ”
Gu Tianlan rubbed his head and said with relief: "Your mother will be happy when she knows." ”
Gu Tianlan is actually quite guilty, she gave birth to him but never raised him, but this child is thinking about her, how lucky she should be.
"The Queen Mother has arrived!" a shrill voice suddenly sounded outside.
Li Yan's face suddenly turned cold: "What else does she want to do?!"
Gu Tianlan had a different idea: "She is a little smarter than I imagined." ”
Gu Tianlan infiltrated her palace and tortured her for three days, Gu Tianqing saw that it was boring, and the reaction speed was not too slow.
Li Yan put down his pen, jumped off the chair, and instructed: "You stay here, don't go out." The main hall went to meet her. ”
"If you go and meet her, she will definitely bully you. I can scare her if I go. Gu Tianlan said.
Li Yan knew that this stupid slave had a stubborn temper, and he couldn't talk about her, so he could only say: "Then you have to listen to the main hall when you go out later." ”
"Slaves and maids have always listened to His Highness. "Gu Tianlan got cheap and behaved.
Gu Tianqing stood at the door of the side hall for a while, and his feet did not immediately step in. She was so flustered that she took a deep breath before stepping inside.
Even though she was ready, when she saw the low-eyed maid following behind Li Yan, she still subconsciously took two steps back. Pearl hurriedly helped her until she didn't lose her temper too much.
Gu Tianqing breathed heavily, entered the side hall, sat down, and his cold eyes swept over Qinghe's body. Qinghe looked like she had low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, hanging her head, Gu Tianqing couldn't explore anything from her face at all.
"Yan'er, do you know how bold Qinghe is, breaking into the mansion of the palace late at night, intending to assassinate the palace. Gu Tianqing said.
Her idea at this time is to keep doing nothing, she has to watch this cheap woman die, so that she can feel at ease.
Li Yan said: "Qinghe has no power to bind the chicken, and the queen mother has many guards around her, even if the queen mother doesn't like Qinghe, she shouldn't come up with such a ridiculous excuse." ”
Gu Tianqing was actually dumbfounded by a four-year-old child.
"The slave can't even enter the gate of Niangniang's palace, how can she break into Niangniang's mansion?" Qinghe's timid voice sounded.
Gu Tianqing had a feeling of being speechless.
She could be sure that the three nights were not just dreams, and that the slap prints on her face were real. This Qinghe must have infiltrated her dormitory.
A maid sneaks into her dormitory and slaps her, which sounds unbelievable, but it's true.
But because it's so unbelievable, no one will believe it.
Only then did Gu Tianqing realize that she had made a great mistake - she had no evidence.
Qinghe is dressed in the shell of a cowardly servant, and she does a good job of hiding everything she does.
If she kills Qinghe with this, someone will definitely make an article about it. The reputation of the virtuous queen she worked so hard to manage will be affected, and she will be charged with indiscriminate murder of innocents.
She must find a justifiable excuse to kill Qinghe.
Gu Tianqing squeezed out a smile: "This palace is not in good spirits, maybe I am wrong." Bengong came to see Yan'er today, and Bengong didn't want to delay Yan'er's homework, so he left first. ”
After Gu Tianqing left, Gu Tianlan and Li Yan laughed in unison, and the two high-fived back. Then hooked his shoulders and carried them into the study, naturally Gu Tianlan hooked his shoulders and put them on his back.
Gu Tianqing returned to her dormitory.
Gu Tianqing took a deep breath to calm herself. At this time, she must not panic, otherwise it will be as the other party wants. She felt like she was in a sinister game, and the slightest mistake could break her bones.
The other party is unfathomable, and she is not a lamb to the slaughter. This is Mochizuki, she is the queen, and she has worked hard here for four years.
When Gu Tianqing opened his eyes, his eyes turned into a deep pool of water.
"Tell He Lu to come to see the palace. Gu Tianqing said to Pearl.
He Lu is the commander of the guards, and he is in charge of the guards of the entire palace, so he is also the most well-informed person, and what happens in the palace cannot escape his eyes.
Soon, He Lu arrived. He Lu was in his early thirties, dressed in a dark guard uniform, with tough facial features and a straight waist like a green pine. He Lu was born ordinary, had no family background, and climbed to today's position step by step by a small guard. Of course, Gu Tianqing quietly pushed behind her back.
As soon as He Lu entered the door, Pearl retreated and closed the door.
In the closed room, only Gu Tianqing and He Lu remained.
"Concubine Xian has been in the palace for four years, and His Majesty has always treated her with no saltiness, and recently, why does His Majesty always run to her Zhaoyang Palace?" Gu Tianqing asked.
Concubine He's maternal family is powerful, and the emperor occasionally goes, just to appease the He family. In this way, day by day, there will be a trend of exclusive favor, and the power of the He family will become stronger.
This is also what Gu Tianqing has always been unable to figure out.
Unless......
Gu Tianqing thought of that possibility, and her face changed suddenly.
Unless the emperor really likes He.
Impossible, she knew what was most important in the emperor's heart, and she would never break the balance of checks and balances for a woman.
He Lu said: "A few days ago, when Your Majesty went to Zhaoyang Palace, I saw Concubine Xian Niangniang wearing a red power suit, holding a bow and arrow in her hand, and she was heroic. ”
Gu Tianqing's heart sank, and it was a little uglier than just now: "He's, what a big boldness!"
In the past, there were concubines who used this to win the favor of the emperor, and were finally beaten into the cold palace. That year, Gu Tianlan died in Azure Town, the red figure in the Ganlu Palace disappeared, and she entered the Ganquan Palace.
"Niangniang, some things are just in the thoughts of His Majesty. What His Majesty hates is taboos, and what His Majesty likes is beautiful scenery. He Lu said.
"Are you reminding His Majesty of the Palace that His Majesty's heart has changed?" Gu Tianqing said.
When Gu Tianlan was alive, it was a thorn in Li Yejin's eye, and he tried his best to pull it out, and in the fourth year after Gu Tianlan's death, Li Yejin finally began to miss it. Gu Tianlan became his cinnabar mole and white moonlight.
Gu Tianqing had actually noticed it a long time ago and refused to admit it. He was also aware of it, so he seized the opportunity well.
"Why should Niangniang bother with the dead?" He Lu said.
Gu Tianqing smiled, and couldn't help but stroke her stomach: "It's the demon of this palace who is stunned." Only by being alive can there be many possibilities. The enemies of this palace are these living people. Gu Tianqing looked at He Lu.
Gu Tianqing's mind was chaotic, and it took a while to sort out a clue.
She first wants to regain Li Yejin's favor, and then use the child in her womb to get rid of Qinghe.
Gu Tianqing was lying on the couch, her face was slightly pale, and her spirit was quite weak.
At lunch, Gu Tianqing didn't eat a bite.
"Hongu has no appetite. Later, a doctor will be sent to take a look at the palace. The most important thing, both of these things must be known to His Majesty. Gu Tianqing said.
Pearl said: "The slave and maid understand. ”
That night, the emperor arrived at Ganquan Palace.
The corners of Gu Tianqing's mouth, who was lying on the couch, couldn't help but curl.
The door opened, and a tall and heroic figure walked in.
"Your Majesty. Gu Tianqing's face turned pale, and she struggled to get up from the couch.
The emperor had already walked up to her in two steps and pressed her arm: "The queen is unwell, so lie down." ”
Gu Tianqing lay back: "The concubine is fine, maybe it's hot, and her spirit is a little weak, but the doctor came to see it, and he didn't see anything wrong." ”
The emperor stretched out his hand and touched her forehead, and Gu Tianqing reached out and grabbed his hand without letting him take it back.
"Your Majesty, the concubines are afraid. ”
"What are you afraid of?" the Emperor asked.
"The concubine has been having nightmares for the past few days. The concubines did too many bad things, and they dreamed of those people coming to ask for their lives. There was His Majesty's dragon aura before, and the concubines didn't feel anything, and if His Majesty didn't come for a few days, the concubines would have nightmares. Gu Tianqing said with a shocked face.
Gu Tianqing's hands were stained with blood, and he worked with him to overcome obstacles before finally uprooting the Gu family.
Li Yejin is not a person who does not miss the old love at all. Li Yejin put his arm around her shoulders and took her into his arms: "I'm here, I don't have to be afraid of the concubine." ”
That night, the emperor stayed at Ganquan Palace.
Gu Tianqing had no dreams all night and slept soundly.
This night, the virtuous concubine of Zhaoyang Palace did not sleep all night, and suddenly slammed the lamp and candle at the head of the bed on the ground at dawn.
This palace is like a battlefield, you fight for me. The only thing that's special is that this battlefield is full of women.
