104. Chapter 112
After Shen Shuzhao got the emperor's response, the stone in her heart fell, and she believed that the emperor would always take care of his feelings. After they left, Wei Men, the emperor's henchman standing behind the curtain, said faintly: "Your Majesty, Concubine Gu has already taken refuge in the Queen Mother, and she has been a powerful minions against the Xu Mansion of the Xiao Mansion in the past few months. ”
"Weimen, I don't think anything else because she is attached to the queen mother. Between me and the queen mother, no one is innocent. ”
"Concubine Gu is now an important person appointed by Changle Palace, and her father also has an unclear relationship with that side, if she falls, the Queen Mother will be missing a big arm in the court."
"She is my woman first, and then she is a person from the Gu Mansion." The emperor was firm, "I have made up my mind to visit her, don't say it." She entered the palace in March this year, and it has only been half a year now, and I can't let her chill her heart. ”
Wei Men bowed down with subtle hesitation, and in the end, he gave his hand, "Then obey Your Majesty." It's just that the old slave has a lot of words, and it is better not to let the queen mother know about going to visit Gu Concubine, and many ministers also believe in the prophecy, and it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, and please pay attention not to be infected with bad luck. ”
"I have my own measure." When the queen mother was mentioned, the emperor's eyes were extremely resolute.
In the blink of an eye, after finishing all the court affairs the next day, the emperor sat on the jade chariot as usual, but he ordered the eunuchs carrying the sedan chair: "Go to the Phi Xiang Hall of Liquan Palace." Everyone looked at each other, and they all knew which master lived there. Since this kind of thing happened, they all felt that the Gu family had completely ended their career in the capital, but they didn't expect that the emperor would be willing to take the risk to visit Gu Concubine.
The jade chariot came to the door of the Phi Xiang Palace, the palace maids saw the two feet and five inches high Ming Huang chariot from a distance, and they couldn't help but scream out, several people quickly turned around and ran into the hall to report, the crown gold dome, the jade chariot plated with jade and copper symbolizes that the emperor's appearance is coming in this direction, there will be no mistake, the place where the emperor came is here! The palace people were so excited that they stood in two columns on the long steps, waiting to welcome the holy car with dignity.
Stopped, the emperor walked down, the palace people of the whole palace knelt in front of him, almost everyone came, this scene is not usually seen at all, regardless of whether these palace people are important or not, they all left their respective positions, and chose to kneel at the door of the palace, bow their heads to the ground and greet each other sincerely. The emperor looked around here, and the crowd surrounded him inside and out, and it was self-evident that he was magnificent, and he was suddenly moved by the unanimous unity of the Liquan Palace.
"Greetings to Your Majesty!" The people in front of them said in unison.
Gu Concubine's personal palace maid Lan Yue shouted at the front while shedding tears, she is both expected and the most excited person here, what Concubine Shen and the eldest princess promised yesterday has come true today! They're not saying kind words! The emperor really still has feelings for his master!
When the emperor saw her crying, his eyes were red, so he paid attention to it a few more times, and recognized these glances, "You are ...... Gu Concubine's maidservant? ”
"It's hard for Your Majesty to remember the cheap appearance of the slave maid, it is the slave maid!" Lan Yue hurriedly kowtowed.
"Get up." The emperor rubbed a string of Buddha beads in his hand to purify qi and protect the body, and he looked into the distance, "Take me to your master." ”
"Yes, yes." Lan Yue hurriedly got up, and then led the emperor to the dormitory.
Along the way, the mantras under the witch wish were pasted all over the place, red and white were staggered, gloomy, and the concubines next to them would be frightened by the scene here even if they thought about it, Lan Yue was worried that the emperor would not like it when he saw it, but the emperor still followed her without hesitation, his expression was the same, shuttling between these things that would be difficult to be safe once they were stained with unclean things, and before they were sure whether what Qin Tianjian said was true, they were betting on luck.
Soon came to the door of the dormitory, the emperor suddenly stopped, and seemed a little hesitant, which was not to blame him, because right in front of him - there were two infantry, one of which was a concubine. He was puzzled, who else dared to come after a lockdown order? Could it be the imperial sister and Shen Shuzhao? Thinking of this, he walked over again, and the doubts on Lan Yue's face were fleeting, but she immediately followed
Only a few steps away from the dormitory, all the palace people were secretly happy, but unexpectedly, the emperor stopped again. And this time, he didn't move forward.
It turned out that at the door of Gu Concubine's Phi Xiang Palace, among the people who knelt and worshipped, there were the Queen Mother and the Yuan Concubine.
"Greetings to Your Majesty!"
The queen mother and the palace maids around Concubine Yuan said in unison, and the tone of those people at the palace gate was not at all different.
"Hmm......" The emperor was silent.
The Queen Mother was supported by the left and right and slowly stepped forward, with a smile on her face, "The mourning family didn't expect that His Majesty would also come to visit Gu Concubine, what a coincidence." ”
She turned her head and said to Shen Zhuangzhao again: "It's still in the morning when Concubine Yuan knelt down and begged the mourning family to come to see Gu Concubine, the mourning family wanted to wait for the grounding order to come, but the concubine told the mourning family about some of the situation of the Phi Xiang Palace, and the mourning family felt that they couldn't wait, otherwise how long would this palace be frosty?" Majesty, you won't blame the mourning family for coming at this time, right? ”
"The queen mother is sympathetic to the six palaces, and the concubines are as wide as the concubines, and one qiē is due, but the queen mother still has to consider some bodies."
"Since Concubine Gu entered the palace, she has always kept her duty, and she has never done anything despicable, the mourning family does not believe that such a gentle and pure person will be a demon girl, so the mourning family dares to come directly, if she is really a scourge, the fate of the mourning family will not survive this month."
"What the queen mother said is very true."
"Your Majesty, Concubine Gu is waiting for you inside, go in with the mourning family."
The emperor had no intention of leaving. He looked at the Queen Mother in front of him.
"Is she awake?"
"I've only woken up for a while, and I don't know how happy I would be if my majesty appeared in front of her now."
The emperor looked deeply at Lan Yue beside him, Lan Yue immediately looked away, he actually knew everything. The power that Gu Concubine relied on in the harem was the Queen Mother, and what Shen Shuzhao and Wei Yang agreed to, the palace maid must have turned around and reported it to the Queen Mother, so the Queen Mother happened to come here and happened to take the Yuan Concubine with her.
"Since I'm awake, it's okay, I'm relieved, I'll go back first."
After he said this, everyone in the audience was surprised.
The Queen Mother was puzzled, "Your Majesty...... You're ......."
"I just passed by here when I went to see the Tao Cai girl in the Fenlan Palace, and I remembered that Gu Concubine was sick and came to ask. Wu Zhu had advised me not to set foot here, but now against the wishes of the ministers, I am relieved to know that she is sober, and it is time to go back. ”
"Your Majesty, Concubine Gu is the only concubine of Lord Gu, if something happens to her, Your Majesty should know what Brother Gu and Lord Gu in the court will think." The Queen Mother was stern.
"I want to go back because I know it well, if I come and get caught in the wind and cold and the like, even if I want to keep the entire Gu Mansion, I am afraid that the whole capital will not allow it." After the emperor finished speaking, he respectfully said goodbye to the queen mother, "For the health of the queen mother, please don't stay for a long time." There is also a concubine...... Also. ”
Afterwards, the emperor turned his back and left with his personal attendants.
The Queen Mother and Concubine Yuan stood behind them, their faces were gloomy, and the palace people around them looked at the Queen Mother timidly, and when they saw her cold eyes, they all buried their heads. The Queen Mother clenched her ten fingers, and the dark blue armor embedded the flesh almost bleeding, what she was thinking, you can imagine. Shen Zhuangzhao watched the familiar and unfamiliar man leave in a daze, and at that moment, the memories of the thunderstorm day poured into his eyes again. She seemed to be walking on the corridor again, and the humble and confused feeling under the lightning came back to her body, the emperor - not only did he not love himself, but even a woman who accompanied him day and night and spoiled the sixth palace was seriously ill, he didn't even have the idea of looking at it! What kind of cold-blooded man is this?
What kind of wolf did the Queen Mother raise!
Shen Zhuangzhao trembled with fear, but at this time, she was unprecedentedly determined, this man ...... The threat to the Shen family is fatal, everything the Queen Mother has done to him is deserved, he is not worthy of being a man at all! I pity Gu Concubine's wishful thinking, and I am willing to look forward to him coming!
She had to do something.
The Queen Mother once told herself that favor is only the appearance, and power is the foundation. Under this kind of gentle and elegant appearance, the favor of a person who is actually cold and selfish in his heart is not to be wanted, power is the most important thing, without it, the future of her and the Shen Mansion is likely to be destroyed by the thought of this tyrant, and she can no longer escape!
And over there, the emperor, who had already left the jade chariot, frowned slightly, and instructed his subordinate Wei Men: "What's the matter with the manpower of Liquan Palace?" The dust is all over the ground, and half of the palace people are missing, where have they gone? ”
"Back to Your Majesty, I heard that many palace people have been transferred out, and some of them have been named by concubines to leave."
The implication is that those who can run have all run.
"The palace people dare to do this, let alone Yu Lu. Passing on my will, the Ministry of Internal Affairs issued to the Liquan Palace Phi Xiang Hall as before, but if it is deducted, it will be severely punished. ”
"Yes." Wei Men should go down.
Night.
Tao Cainu, who was in the same palace as Gu Concubine, inexplicably ushered in the emperor, she had not seen the emperor for several months, and she cried for a while, and the emperor gently helped her up, and after comforting, Tao Cainu gradually returned to normal. Late at night, the emperor lay by the bedside, but he didn't have any thoughts, all his thoughts were written in the darkness that no one noticed. Outside the skylight, what I have been looking at is the direction of Gu Concubine's bedroom.
Tao Cainu tilted her head slightly, she stumbled upon this scene, she looked at the emperor in disbelief, she had also heard about today's events, but she didn't say anything, she just fell asleep honestly.
After dawn, the emperor was going to the early court, she quietly changed his clothes, and then sent the young man in the yellow dragon robe of the Son of Heaven to leave.
After sending away, she hurried to the main hall of Liquan Palace, the Phi Xiang Hall, and saw a familiar royal car parked, so she walked straight to the room with joy. Sure enough, the eldest princess Kunyi and Shen Concubine were inside, her tears flowed down, she knelt down heavily, and said to the two of them: "Niangniang, eldest princess, please save Gu Concubine!" ”
