The carriage of the Marquis of Chinan stopped steadily in front of the palace gate, Gu Yuqing helped the auspicious Ruyi to get out of the car, the majestic palace city with a royal atmosphere was already hung with white curtains at this moment, and the north wind whimpered, which was extraordinarily solemn and solemn, making people look at it, only to feel like the entrance to the underworld.

The guards at the door slipped away, changed out of the plain yellow guard uniform, each dressed in black, with a plain white belt tied around their waists, and their expressions were solemn, as if they were ...... I was really grieved.

His eyes seemed to fall on the face of the third guard counting from the left, his eyes were facing each other, he hurriedly staggered, holding his auspicious hand, Gu Yuqing walked towards the palace gate.

But with a look, Wei Qi had already told him that the letter he wanted him to hand to Xiao Ke last night had been delivered.

On both sides of the bluestone slab, the vermilion palace wall, the yellow glazed tiles, no matter how bright the color is, it can't resist the white, and the people can't help but be depressed.

The palace maid had already led the palace maid to see Gu Yuqing at a glance, stepped forward quickly, curtsied, and led her all the way to the hall where the queen's coffin was placed.

In the main hall, the prince and princess, the concubines and palace maids, Wu Yang, and Bai Sasa knelt on the ground, whimpering one after another.

lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, quickly swept over the concubines in the hall, seeing that there was no concubine Hui, Gu Yuqing's heart moved slightly, followed the palace maid, moved to the coffin, burned incense and bowed, knelt and kowtowed, from beginning to end, respectful and pious, with a decent sad look on her face.

When the ceremony was over, the maid led her to the side of the princesses' kneeling spirits, pointed to an empty position, and asked her to kneel.

Only then did Gu Yuqing realize that Xiao Jingyu was not there.

She is the queen's concubine, the only concubine, the queen's funeral, no matter how unwell she is, as long as she doesn't get to the point of fainting, she shouldn't show up.

Was Xiao Jingyu grief-stricken and unconscious, or did something happen that she didn't know......

was wondering, and the muttering of the two princesses came from behind, and Gu Yuqing couldn't help but prick up her ears to listen.

"She's too much, she won't come to her own mother-in-law, so let's kneel here in the middle of the night. The voice was a little sharp, and although it was deliberately lowered, it could not hide the harshness.

"Okay, don't say it, there are so many pairs of ears listening here, you say this, don't you cause trouble for your mother again. "Those who persuade each other, speak slowly.

"Hmph, you are timid, you don't dare to do that, you are careful in everything, when the queen mother is alive, I don't see how comfortable your mother and daughter are, it's not that you were called by the queen mother to reprimand!"

"You...... I kindly persuade you, if you lose your temper with me, you just want to talk about it, and when the time comes, it will cause trouble, and it is not me who will be affected by you anyway. "With a sense of anger.

Gu Yuqing heard the rustling of clothes, although she didn't look back, she also guessed that it was probably the princess who couldn't persuade people to move her body in anger.

"Are you annoyed? Don't be annoyed, I said the wrong thing, I can't apologize? Who are you not happy for me, not for you, you have a fever under your eyes, your body is as hot as coals, you don't have time to take the medicine, you have to kneel here, this illness is so urgent, it's too late to recuperate, where can you stand this, if you want me to say, you are also the same as Hui Guifei Niangniang, call yourself sick. ”

Hearing the person with a sharp voice say such a thing again, Gu Yuqing couldn't help but be surprised.

"You are talking nonsense, I can compare with Hui Guifei Niangniang? She was sick and bedridden a few days before the queen mother's funeral, but I suddenly had a fever last night, if I said that I was sick, I am afraid that everyone will think that I can't endure hardship, deliberately pretending to be sick, when the time comes, I don't know how many troubles will be caused to the mother concubine, or just, when I rest for a while, you help me keep an eye on it, and I will go to rest for a while. ”

It's a sensible child, but it's just a fever, how can it be delayed.

Regardless of whether the condition is serious or not, as long as it is an emergency and high fever, it will kill if she is not careful, doesn't she know!

Even if you know it, you don't want to get into trouble because of it.

Listening to their conversation, Gu Yuqing was originally concerned about the part of their words about Xiao Jingyu, but now, she was a little astringent, and couldn't help but look back slightly to see what the two princesses were.

When I saw a pair of little princesses who were only about four or five years old, they were side by side, bowing their heads and frowning, not noticing her gaze, still talking in a low voice.

"If you want me to say, you don't have to be like this, left, the queen mother will not jump out of the coffin, what are you so afraid of! At this time, who will blame you! If I were you, I would be bedridden!" The speaker, it was the one with a sharp voice, looking at her delicate chin and cherry red mouth, Gu Yuqing recognized at a glance that it was the tenth princess under Concubine Li's knees.

And beside her, the one who spoke softly and was opening her mouth to answer, "Don't persuade me, so be it!", but it was the eleventh princess under Concubine Qi's knees.

The two princesses are both four years old this year, but one is born in March and the other is in November.

The little adult seemed to have a tone, which made Gu Yuqing shake his head in his heart, this dye vat in the palace is really not immune to even children.

It is said that the children of the poor are in charge of the family early, but the children in the palace also have to experience that life is not easy and survival is not easy very early. They even pay more for their livelihood than children from poor families.

is like Xiao Yu, if he hadn't pretended to be crazy and stupid, and pretended to be like this in front of the world, I am afraid that he would have died many times!

Thinking of this, Gu Yuqing sighed in her heart. The words that Xiao Yu said in front of her at night echoed in her ears, "Being an emperor is not necessarily a good thing, and there are three palaces and six courtyards, and the rain and dew are all ......."

He didn't want to be the emperor and ascend the throne, except because he wanted to give this country to Xiao Yan, but he was afraid that he himself really didn't want to sit in the position of the Ninety-Five.

He didn't want her to be caught in the treacherous whirlpool of the harem, and he didn't want their children to suffer the horrors and lives he had suffered in the future.

And herself, in all fairness, naturally does not want to share a man with others, and has to make a gesture of generosity and virtue, she is not a saint!

The warm current flowed at the tip of his heart, and he couldn't help but raise his head slightly and look obliquely towards the side of the prince in front of him.

At a glance, she found the warm back in the white clothes.

Because of this warm current, the time of kneeling seemed to pass extremely fast, and before I felt that my knees were numb, I could hear the melodious voice of the waiter above my head.

Ulala said a pass, which roughly means, that everyone can rest for a while, wait for the bell to ring, and then come to kneel.

The low whimper in his ears suddenly stopped, and with the staggered clothes, everyone helped each other and got up, at this time it was already dawn, Gu Yuqing stood up, and because of kneeling for a long time, he suddenly got up a little dizzy, his feet were unstable, and he shook it, and he felt that his body was being held up from behind, and he looked back.
