Chapter 178: I Don't Dare to Be Ashamed
Gu Qianyan took the time to go to Yalanju, and Lu Ping and Qiu Ting knew that she had saved the prince of the Western Regions, so they applauded happily, and the three of them hugged each other tightly.
After a long time, Lu Ping said with tears in her eyes: "I said that the master must be able to do it, this should be the bittersweet thing that comes." Then he smiled and said, "The master saved the prince of the Western Regions, I don't know what reward will be?" ”
Qiu Ting saw her crying and laughing, but he didn't make fun of her, and thought for a while: "I think it should be no problem for the master to be a good girl!" ”
"That's not the same as doing nothing, the master has suffered so much in vain!" Luping said with a bitter little face.
Gu Tianyan looked at the two little girls and smiled with satisfaction, and said casually: "You two don't talk about me, do you have any plans in the future?" ”
"Plans? Of course, where the master goes, I will go! Luping blurted out.
"Master, don't you want me?" Qiu Ting was stunned and said with a slight hesitation.
Gu Tianyan pondered for a while, and said: "Since ancient times, the companion is like a tiger, and now I have nothing to be nostalgic for in this palace, but I can't rest assured that the two of you can do anything, just tell me what you think, in short, do my best!" ”
"Master......" Lu Ping and Qiu Ting shouted in unison, they also felt the sadness and grievances that Gu Tianyan had suffered these days, and they really didn't know what to say at this time.
"That's it! Luping, your mind is too simple, I'll find a way to let you go home first! Although Gu Tianyan was reluctant to let Lu Ping go, he also knew her temperament best, so he took it upon himself to help her make a decision.
"Oh!" Lu Ping hung her head and said: "Lu Ping is stupid, she can't help her master......
Gu Tianyan looked at her cute appearance with a crying face, and her heart couldn't help but soften, but she didn't say anything, thinking: I hope she can understand her hard work in the future!
Qiu Ting had long known that Gu Tianyan disdained the competition for favor in this harem, and after she was demoted to a room, she was even more disheartened, at this time, it was not difficult to hear her interest in the palace, and then heard her arrangements for Lu Ping, where would she not know her thoughts, so he plucked up the courage and said: "Master, are you preparing to leave the palace?" ”
When Lu Ping heard this, she looked at Qiu Ting in inexplicable surprise, and then looked at Gu Tianyan with confusion.
"Who knows what will happen after this?" Gu Tianyan smiled slightly and said, "Qiu Ting, what are your plans?" ”
Qiu Ting was even more sure when he saw that she didn't deny it, and said without hesitation: "If the master is in the palace, then I will stay here; Otherwise, I don't want to stay any longer. ”
Gu Tianyan nodded lightly, too many people entered the palace just to make a living, and after Qiu Ting experienced such a master as Yang Pinglan, it was not difficult to understand that he was afraid and rejected by this deep palace from his heart.
However, he said that after Feng Jinglan came out of the palace to see the emperor, he wanted to talk to Gu Qianyan about the reward, and when he learned that she went to Yalanju, he didn't bring his entourage and maidservant and went straight to find it.
Today's Yalanju only has two maidservants, Luping and Qiuting, and there are no other people to serve, Feng Jinglan is here on the fly, and when he arrives at Yalanju, there is not even a person who communicates, but no one disturbs, Feng Jinglan's martial arts are also extremely extraordinary, but he heard the conversation of Gu Tianyan and the three of them clearly.
On the way here, Feng Jinglan was still thinking about how to reward Gu Qianyan so that everyone had nothing to say.
To say that she saved the prince of the Western Regions, relieved the danger of the Great Xuan Kingdom, and was named the crown prince's concubine is not too much, but will Chu Jiaorou agree, and what will the Chu family think?
Thinking like this, Feng Jinglan decided to restore Gu Tianyan Liangdi's identity first, and then find a suitable opportunity to be named a side concubine in the future, so that Chu Jiaorou and the Chu family would definitely not object, and Gu Tianyan should always know some advances and retreats now as a general house.
Feng Jinglan had even figured out how to make Gu Qianyan gladly accept his arrangement, but he never thought of overhearing what she was thinking, only to know that he really didn't know enough about Gu Qianyan: at the beginning, Gu Tingyan kept saying that she wanted to leave, but now it seems that she is not trying to capture her old ways and retreat as advance, but she is really tired of the deceit and intrigue in this palace.
After standing for a moment, Feng Jinglan coughed lightly before striding in.
Gu Tianyan, Lu Ping and Qiu Ting heard the movement outside and felt strange, and suddenly saw Feng Jinglan, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Slaves and maids see His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
"Get up!" Feng Jinglan waved his hand and said expressionlessly: "You two go down first, this palace has something to say to Gu Qianyan." ”
Lu Ping and Qiu Ting got up one after another, quietly glanced at Gu Qianyan, and retreated as he said.
Knowing Gu Qianyan's thoughts, Feng Jinglan didn't beat around the bush with her anymore, and said bluntly: "Say, what reward do you want?" ”
Gu Tianyan glanced at him in a slightly surprised way, and said calmly: "The slave maid hopes that this is the second and last thing to do for His Royal Highness the Prince, and the slave maid implores His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to allow the slave maid, Lu Ping and Qiu Ting to leave the palace!" ”
"What if this palace doesn't agree?" Hearing Gu Tianyan resolutely say that he wanted to leave the prince's mansion and leave him, Feng Jinglan suddenly felt a strong unwillingness in her heart, and stared at her.
But who doesn't want to stay with him all the time with the women he has come into contact with, and who doesn't want to do everything possible to please and flatter him in order to gain his favor? Gu Tianyan, why did she dare to abandon him?
It wasn't until Gu Qianyan really wanted to leave him that Feng Jinglan found out that when he let Gu Tingyan fall into his trap, he also unknowingly trapped himself.
Gu Tianyan was stunned, met his gaze fearlessly, and asked, "Then, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is unwilling to agree?" ”
"Are you threatening Hongu?" Feng Jinglan squinted his eyes inadvertently and said.
Gu Tianyan said lightly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is too worried, how can the slave He De dare to threaten His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”
"Are there any others?" Feng Jinglan took a deep breath and said noncommittally.
Gu Tianyan shook his head lightly, and said in his heart: If you don't even agree to the most basic requirements, what does it mean to say more.
Feng Jinglan gently put his hands on Gu Qianyan's weak and boneless shoulders, and said emotionally: "Tianyan, since you promised to help the palace do the second thing, can you tell people that the prince of the Western Regions has been poisoned in the palace?" ”
Although Gu Tianyan didn't know what he wanted, it was obvious that he wanted to use the matter of the prince of the Western Regions to achieve some of his goals. At this point, Gu Tianyan's last remaining thoughts about him have completely disappeared.
Feng Jinglan saw that she was silent for a long time, and said softly: "Tilt Yan, this time you must listen to the palace, after the prince of the Western Regions recovers, the palace will immediately restore your identity as a good person, and then ask your father to make your father a marquis, and reward the Gu family with 10,000 taels ......of gold."
Gu Tianyan smiled, it turned out that he had always just treated her as a pawn that could be used, he could be kind to her in every way when he needed it, and he could give her to others when he didn't need it, so who would care about her life or death.
At this time, she also understood why Feng Jinglan was reluctant to let her go, in addition to the fact that she still had something to use, I was afraid that it was also related to his strong possessiveness, and he didn't want the woman who originally belonged to him to become someone else's woman again.
Recognizing Feng Jinglan's true face of selfishness and self-righteousness, Gu Tianyan couldn't help but feel a little lost in her heart, but she didn't have the kind of despair and heartbreak that she experienced in her previous life, which was probably the only gain she didn't give her sincerity easily after being reborn.
Although Gu Qianyan was as far away from Feng Jinglan as she wanted at this time, she knew that she couldn't act rashly, otherwise she really didn't know what the ruthless man in front of her would do to her, to Lu Ping, Qiu Ting, and the Gu family?
Gu Tianyan's mood quickly calmed down, and he said in a humble and humble manner: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince, the slave maid will help the prince of the Western Regions clean up the residual poison in his body as soon as possible, as for Liangdi's identity and the reward of the Gu family, the slave and maid dare not be ashamed, and ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to allow Lu Ping and Qiu Ting to leave the palace!" ”
Being in the Prince's Mansion, Gu Qianyan had to obey Feng Jinglan's orders, and the reason why she refused to restore her Liangdi identity and the reward to the Gu family was not because she was angry for a while, or because she pretended to be high and took a posture, but because she didn't want herself and the Gu family to be roasted on the fire after experiencing such an incident.
A good and rich reward may seem like glory and grace, but isn't it a trap and a poison?
Prince Liangdi's identity brought Gu Tianyan more hurt and humiliation, and thinking about the decline and fate of the Yang family, the so-called reward could no longer move her heart.
Today's Gu Qianyan doesn't have much luxury, as long as the family can get along peacefully and comfortably, it is enough.
Feng Jinglan naturally didn't care about the two little girls, squinted at her, nodded decisively and said, "Since you have spoken, then do as you wish!" ”
"Slave maid, thank Your Highness the Crown Prince for your success!" Gu Tianyan knelt down and bowed, and hit the railway while it was hot: "The condition of the prince of the Western Regions has stabilized now, and the slave maid wants to go home tomorrow to see if there is anything missing from the prescription, so as not to miss a major event, and by the way, I will also send them to Luping, and I hope that His Royal Highness the prince will give permission!" ”
Feng Jinglan didn't know her thoughts, she wasn't worried about Lu Ping and Qiu Ting's departure from the palace, and she didn't intend to worry about her so much, so she waved her hand and said, "Go!" ”
I thought: I can't see that she is affectionate and righteous to those two little girls, and she is not in vain for their master and servant.
Looking at the back of Feng Jinglan leaving, Gu Tianyan turned his head and told Lu Ping and Qiu Ting the good news.
When Lu Ping and the others heard that Gu Tianyan would leave the palace with them tomorrow, they were so happy that they almost jumped up, like two happy little swallows.
After the excitement, Lu Ping was busy packing up her things, and Qiu Ting leaned next to Gu Tianyan and whispered, "Master, has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince promised you to leave here?" ”
"I haven't said yes yet, but I'll figure it out as soon as possible!" Gu Tianyan shook her head with a smile and said, after really understanding Feng Jinglan, her idea of leaving the palace became more urgent, but she also knew that if she wanted to hurry, she would not be able to reach it, and it was obvious that Feng Jinglan would not let her go easily.
Qiu Ting hesitated and said, "That master, why don't I stay first?" ”
"No, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has given you permission to leave the palace tomorrow." Gu Tianyan stopped her and said, "Don't worry, you are all gone, and I will find a way to get out soon." ”
Qiu Ting said worriedly: "However, we are gone, and there will be no one to take care of the master in the future......"
"I'm just a slave now, what do you want someone to take care of?" Gu Tianyan said with a smile.
Qiu Ting heard her say lightly, but the stone in his heart was not relaxed at all: Gu Tianyan saved the prince of the Western Regions this time and could not leave the palace as he wished, but I am afraid that it will be even more difficult to get out of the palace in the future.
On the surface, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seems to be reluctant to let Gu Tianyan go, but he doesn't trust her, and there is a side concubine Chu Jiaorou in the prince's mansion who regards her as a thorn in the flesh, Gu Tianyan's situation in the prince's mansion in the future can be imagined.
Gu Tianyan could see Qiu Ting's worries, patted her lightly on the shoulder, and said, "Don't worry about me, you help Luping pack up her things first, and go out with me later!" Then, he whispered a few more words in her ear.
At this time, Qiu Ting didn't know what to say, so he nodded very hard.
After Gu Tianyan came out of Yalan Residence, he went to Chu Jiaorou's Yingjiao Pavilion.
Chu Jiaorou's Yingjiao Pavilion, Gu Qianyan has been here many times, but it is the second time he has come as a roommate.
The first time was when Feng Jinglan summoned her here, which made her feel a great humiliation, and this time, how Chu Jiaorou would treat her, Gu Tianyan still didn't know.
Gu Qianyan knew that Chu Jiaorou was afraid that she would die immediately, but she knew that as long as she stayed in the prince's mansion for a day, Chu Jiaorou would be a hurdle that she couldn't get around.
The two maidservants outside Yingjiao Pavilion were talking and laughing, and they all stopped talking when they saw Gu Tianyan coming over.
Gu Tianyan stepped forward and said, "Two, I want to see Concubine Chu, and the trouble will be passed through." ”
One of the maidservants sneered when she heard this: "Gu Tianyan, have you forgotten who you are?" Side concubine Niangniang, are you a person who talks about seeing you? ”
"Get out of here, don't wait for us to get you!" The other handmaiden chimed in.
The news of Gu Qianyan's rescue of the prince of the Western Regions has not yet spread, and these two maidservants only know that their master does not like Gu Tianyan, so naturally they will not give her a good look.
"Sister Tilting Face!" Gu Tianyan was about to turn around and leave, when a surprised voice came from behind him, it was Chu Jiaorou who was accompanied by Qing Lan.
Gu Tianyan saluted and said, "The slave maid has seen Concubine Chu!" ”
"Between you and my sisters, you don't have to be so reasonable!" Chu Jiaorou quickly stepped forward to help her up affectionately, and said with a smile: "Sister Tianyan, I heard that you cured the illness of the prince of the Western Regions, why didn't you pass by my door and go in to see me?" ”
Gu Tianyan was slightly stunned, if it weren't for the terrifying scene of Chu Jiaorou turning her face vividly, she would have felt that this was still the simple-minded Chu Jiaorou who was commensurate with her sister when she first entered the palace. Although I was surprised by the huge changes in Chu Jiaorou, in fact, who could tell which one was the real Chu Jiaorou?
Looking back now, she Gu Qianyan was not a concubine of the Gu family who was ignorant of the world before entering the palace, so how did she know that people's hearts are sinister and the world is impermanent?
Chu Jiaorou, as the side concubine of the Prince's Mansion and the favorite of the Chu family, knew that she had saved the prince of the Western Regions, Gu Tianyan was not surprised at all, but now that Chu Jiaorou was so abnormal to her, she was really a little uncertain: is it acting for Feng Jinglan to see, or is there something else?
