Chapter Ninety-Five: The Cuttlefish Is in Trouble
() Gu's malignancy is difficult to change, no one in the palace will pity her, even if they hear about her death, everyone has an attitude of not caring about themselves, and no one will delve into this matter.
Grounded in Jingyang Palace for life, you have to be tormented by loneliness and pain all your life, you can't see hope and can't find hope, this can be regarded as a kind of torture to live, and it is difficult for anyone to accept this life. Many people feel that they can't be out for half a year, and the Gu family is not crazy and stupid, so they will not be able to think of choosing to commit suicide.
Therefore, now Gu's death is reasonable in everyone's opinion.
It's just that no one will think about it, if the Gu family is really willing to die lightly, then why does she tear her throat and scold in Jingyang Palace every day, and why is she desperately arguing to see the emperor and her family? From these things, it is not evident that she has the slightest inclination to commit suicide.
There are many unjust souls in the palace, how many people are really willing to give up their lives? Many people's deaths were either forced or victimized, and the same is true for Gu.
The life of the cold palace made her gradually a little crazy, at first she could still vent her anger by beating the palace maids around her, but later even the palace maids had to avoid her, so she could only kill time by scolding. She scolded the cuttlefish, scolded the caiyun, scolded the queen, and scolded Concubine Xi, if it wasn't for Concubine Xi who took a silk handkerchief to induce her, she would not have come to this point.
One day, Gu's open-mouthed mouth finally annoyed Concubine Xi, when the palace people sent out by Concubine Xi repeated what Gu said, she couldn't help but lose her temper, if Gu's words were known by others, I am afraid she would have the possibility of getting into trouble.
Just in case, Concubine Xi sent someone to quietly get rid of the Gu family at night, only the mouth of the dead is the tightest, and Concubine Xi didn't mind another life in order to sleep peacefully.
No one cares about the life or death of an abandoned concubine, Gu's death is like a secret that sinks to the bottom of the sea, and it will not be turned out by anyone.
After the emperor learned of Gu's death, he just shook his head meaninglessly, as if he was a little helpless and a little emotional. He instructed Su Peisheng to send Gu's body to the Gu Mansion, and by the way, comfort her parents, and the matter would be over.
In the afternoon, Concubine Xi came to the Heart Cultivation Palace.
The emperor was reading some of the recitals presented by the ministers. He was a little unhappy when he heard that Concubine Xi came, this time is often when he is dealing with political affairs, and he doesn't like to be disturbed the most, unless there is a hundred thousand urgent things, otherwise it will definitely attract his anger.
Concubine Xi wore a dark red Shu brocade cheongsam skirt. The golden silk peony pattern on the skirt is delicate and atmospheric, she slowly walked in front of the emperor and asked for peace, "The concubine visits the emperor, the emperor is auspicious." ”
"No need to be polite, get up." The emperor said perfunctorily, and then asked unhappily, "Why are you here, you are not staying in Jingren Palace in the afternoon, what is the important thing to come to find me?" ”
There was a nameless fire in the emperor's tone. As if he was irritated by Concubine Xi, his eyes just swept over Concubine Xi, and then he looked at the book on the table again, with an impatient look on his face.
Concubine Xi knew in her heart that the emperor had always only had respect for her, but she had never had the slightest love at all, since the day she entered Prince Yong's mansion, the emperor had no interest in her, even if she inherited the throne and ascended to the throne, the emperor was just looking at the love for many years. only then did he make her a concubine. If she hadn't given birth to the fourth elder brother, maybe she wouldn't even be able to be Concubine Xi, at most she would be a concubine like Concubine Yu.
There are many beauties in the harem, which can make the emperor feel moved. There are only the deceased concubines, the sick and weak current queens, and the cuttlefish who are now in full bloom.
Concubine Xi got up and looked up at the emperor, the flying phoenix on her head also trembled, and she looked directly at the emperor. "The emperor is either dealing with government affairs or accompanying Su Guiren all day long, and he has been to Jingren Palace for many days, so the concubines have to come to disturb and want to discuss something with you." ”
In this way, it seems that the emperor is wrong.
The emperor paused, "What's the matter?" What do you have to consult with me? ”
Concubine Xi sat on the chair, separated from the emperor by a distance, she said calmly, "This matter is very important, it is related to Su Guiren, you let the concubine assist the queen in taking care of the affairs of the six palaces, so all the affairs of the harem should naturally be taken care of by the concubines." ”
"Okay, you just say the point, what's wrong with Su Guiren?" The emperor was a little impatient, he was very dissatisfied with Concubine Xi's opening remarks, so he hurriedly urged.
When it comes to cuttlefish, the emperor is inevitably a little nervous, what can it be that Concubine Xi can come to him to discuss in person? He thought about it quickly, the cuttlefish has been staying in the Xianfu Palace honestly for the past few days, and has not caused any trouble, so it should not be a bad thing.
After hearing this, Concubine Xi said directly, "Since the emperor doesn't mind, then the concubine can just say it directly, don't be too surprised." The concubine believes that the current Su Guiren is not the real Su Guiren, her identity is fake, and the concubine wants you to thoroughly investigate her identity. ”
As soon as these words came out, the emperor's heart sank, and his face immediately changed, he never thought that Concubine Xi came today to expose the fake identity of the cuttlefish! Although the emperor is often worried that the secret of the cuttlefish will be discovered, when this moment comes, he is still a little shocked, and even breaks out in a cold sweat.
If the truth does come to the surface, the cuttlefish has committed a serious crime, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
The emperor calmed down and wanted to stabilize Concubine Xi first, he pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What did you say?" Su Guiren is not Su Guiren! Then who else can she be, can she be a little moth and a little sparrow, why do you say this? ”
Concubine Xi's face did not change, "Your Majesty, do you remember the He Chun banquet, at that time, at the banquet, the Gu family and her maid Caiyun said in public that Su Guiren's identity was fake, but everyone thought it was too ridiculous and didn't believe it." But in recent days, the concubine heard that the Gu family often scolded Su Guiren in Jingguanzhai before committing suicide, saying that she was born as a cheap maid, and that she was originally a palace maid who deceived everyone's eyes before becoming a concubine. ”
The emperor didn't know what Gu said in Jingguanzhai, but when he saw Concubine Xi's face was stern and her tone was very firm, he knew that Gu should have said such things.
The emperor pretended to be calm and said indifferently, "The Gu family has been demoted to an official woman and has been severely punished, so it must be a little crazy, what is the basis for a madman's words, I don't believe it." ”
"Your Majesty, if she is already a madman according to what you say, do you think she will make up nonsense again? The concubine had never heard of a madman telling a lie. Since you don't believe the Gu family's words, and the concubine is suspicious of Su Guiren, then it is better to ask the Zongren Mansion to investigate carefully and see what the truth is. Concubine Xi said.
This time, she was determined to put the cuttlefish to death, and she didn't want to underestimate the enemy anymore, especially after hearing the title of "Flower Guifei". (To be continued.) )
