The first year of Chengzhao, early autumn. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
Shengjing City.
Ronghua Long Street, which has always been prosperous and lively, is treated clean today to welcome the return of Queen Dacheng.
The shops and restaurants on both sides of the long street are temporarily closed to customers, and pedestrians and hawkers are also isolated from the corners, and it is forbidden to approach the heavily guarded area.
The palace honor guard and the Ouchi guards in silver armor and black helmets walked through the long street in an orderly manner.
In the gorgeous carriage, Gu Yunjin sat in it, but his eyes kept looking at the scene outside through the small gap in the curtain. When the team passed by the Zhenguo General's Mansion, she couldn't help but open the corner of the curtain of the car, and when she saw the brand-new plaque, tears instantly blurred her eyes, and she lowered the curtain after just one look.
At the end of the day, Gu Yunjin was finally welcomed into the rebuilt Changle Palace.
Because Emperor Chengzhao felt sorry for her after a tiring journey, after returning to Changle Palace, he forbade people to visit, and only let the crown prince Zhao Xiangping and Yongning princess Zhao Xianghuan accompany her.
Zhao Xiangping Zhao Xianghuan was one and a half years old, it was the time to babble, when he saw Gu Yunjin, not only was he not afraid of life, but he looked at her calling his mother, Gu Yunjin didn't know whether to feel sad or happy, and only hugged the two children and cried silently.
When Xiao and Chen saw this scene, they were full of emotion, and they couldn't help wiping their tears, the former princess finally came back.
Granny Xiao saw that Gu Yunjin couldn't stop crying, and explained with a reluctant smile: "Queen Mother, please rest assured, the prince and the princess are very good, although the queen mother has not been around for more than a year, but the emperor, the prince and the princess have not forgotten the mother for a moment." β
Chen Nanniang also hurriedly interjected: "Yes, yes, especially the emperor, he painted a lot of portraits of Niangniang and taught the prince and the princess to recognize Niangniang, so the prince and the princess are no strangers to Niangniang." β
Gu Yunjin wiped his tears and solemnly grateful: "The two nurses have worked hard, and your careful care has made the prince and princess look so healthy." β
Xiao and Chen's two nurses were flattered and didn't dare to ask for credit, so they said in a loud voice: "It should be, it should be, this is the duty of the slave." β
In Changle Palace, in addition to the two nurses, Gu Yunjin also saw several familiar faces: Shui Langlian, Ji Hongxuan and Yun'er.
"The Queen." Shui Langlian and Ji Hongxuan had already cried into tears, and Yun'er's eyes were also red and swollen.
Gu Yunjin was misty with tears, looked at their faces one by one, and asked in a dumb voice, "Are you all okay?" What about Liu Shao, how is she? β
Shui Langlian wiped her tears and choked up: "The slaves and maids are all good, Commander Du has been promoted to the commander of the inner guards, I heard him say that Liu Shao is pregnant and is raising her body at home." β
Gu Yunjin smiled with tears in his eyes, "It's good, I'm very happy to see you all doing well." β
In the evening, after coaxing Zhao Xiangping and Zhao Xianghuan to sleep, Gu Yunjin returned to his dormitory and prepared to sleep.
Shui Langlian and Ji Hongxuan took the initiative to say some things while removing her makeup, because they knew that these things must be what the master wanted to know.
"After the emperor ascended the throne, he retried the case of General Gu's rebellion, and Master Fu admitted that he framed General Gu, and later, Master Fu was dismissed and demoted to a commoner, and the children of the Fu family were forbidden to be officials for three generations, and General Gu's family was recalled to Beijing, and the officials were reinstated."
"After the emperor ascended the throne, the family of the king of Nanling left Beijing and returned to Nanling."
"Miss Wanqing turned out to be an orphan of the Dingguo Mansion"
The two of you said a word, and Gu Yunjin didn't interject, just listened quietly, with an unclear expression.
At this moment, Yun'er suddenly walked in and said happily: "Niangniang, the slave maid saw that the emperor was coming here." β
Gu Yunjin stood up and walked to the bed, and commanded lightly: "If the emperor comes, it will be said that the palace is tired and has already slept." β
"Niangniang" looked at each other.
Yun'er couldn't help frowning, why didn't this queen mother want to see the emperor, did she still blame the emperor for retiring her mother? But wasn't it forced to do so? Besides, there are no other concubines in this harem, and the emperor's heart is obviously still in Niangniang, Niangniang shouldn't be angry.
"Niangniang" She tried to persuade her, but before she could say anything, she heard the sound of the palace maid welcoming the holy car outside the door.
A few people saw that the people on the bed were motionless, and they didn't dare to delay any longer, so they had to hurry out.
Shui Langlian stubbornly said: "Your Majesty, Niangniang has already fallen asleep." β
When Emperor Chengzhao heard this, he glanced in the direction of the inner room, and the disappointment in his eyes was clearly visible, it turned out that she was still blaming him in her heart.
When she was picked up at the gate of the palace and entered the palace, she smiled at him, and he still had hope, thinking that maybe after so much time, and after all these things, the resentment in her heart towards him had been eliminated, but now it seemed that those were just doing it in front of people. After all, he is too naΓ―ve, and there are some things, once lost, they can never be recovered.
"Since Niangniang is asleep, then I will leave first, you have to serve a good Niangniang, cough cough" Emperor Chengzhao said back, couldn't help coughing, as if he was afraid of disturbing the people in the inner room, and quickly turned around and left.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Wan Gonggong followed the pace of Emperor Chengzhao and presented a moon-white veil in time.
After the coughing stopped, Emperor Chengzhao looked at the veil and found that there were more blood stains on it than before, and the blood color was even darker, obviously the poison in the body had seriously invaded the blood bone marrow. He calmly handed the handkerchief to Father-in-law Wan and continued to walk forward.
Gonggong Wan was frightened, and said urgently: "Miss Wanqing said that the emperor's body can't wait any longer, so it's better to continue to interrogate Zhao Ziheng in the prison to see if that Empress Li has left him the antidote to save his life." β
Emperor Chengzhao shook his head, "There is no cure for this poison, and he has already been interrogated, and there is no antidote on him." β
When he was besieging the palace, he personally asked Empress Li, and later interrogated Zhao Ziheng, but Zhao Ziheng said that even if he killed him, he would not be able to come up with an antidote.
This is the result he had expected a long time ago, in fact, if he can live until his revenge is successful, and if he can live to arrange everything properly, he will die without regrets, but unfortunately now he stopped and looked back at the Changle Palace behind him, and his heart was extremely sad.
Then, he shook his head and continued to walk forward, just that, how can things be as good as they should be, since he made a choice, he must bear the consequences. At that time, he had a great revenge that had not been avenged, a great favor had not been repaid, and his life could not be controlled, but now that the great revenge has been avenged, the great favor has also been repaid, so let him live for himself once.
Gonggong Wan struggled and hesitated for a long time before he said cautiously: "Your Majesty, Miss Wanqing said that this poison is not insolvable, as long as "
"Shut up!" Emperor Chengzhao was suddenly furious, and everyone was trembling.
Grandpa Wan's lips trembled, and he didn't dare to speak again.
Emperor Chengzhao glanced at everyone coldly, and said word by word: "Whoever dares to mention this matter again, let him be buried with me in the future!" "To be continued.
