35 Sayings
The Shangyuan Festival assassin incident seems to have passed silently, and in the end, no one from the so-and-so sect jumped out and patted his chest and told him that he was responsible for this matter, but Gu Ci was recuperating in the palace these days, and he didn't feel the rumors. The princes were diagnosed and treated by the imperial doctor, saying that the toxicity was not deep and there was no big problem, those palace attendants who did not know whether they were innocent and involved disappeared, and some familiar sisters in the queen mother's palace never saw each other again, and there were many bigwigs in the forbidden army, and some palaces were sealed, and the queen mother never saw some concubines here.
It's just that there is no Ganyu brand gossip small radio, and she doesn't dare to send someone to inquire, so she thinks that she is coming to the palace for a vacation, and she doesn't care about everything.
It's boring to scratch my heart with a hundred claws......
Yuyi didn't stay in the palace either, and Gu Ci went home the next day after waking up. Every day, Xiao Lu and Gu Xi would come to see her, and then go back to the house to report her current situation to others.
Yuan Yi mostly came at night, and according to Gan Tang, sometimes it was the second half of the night.
In the process of recuperating from Gu Ci's injury, it was the Queen Mother who saw the most.
The Queen Mother does often come to see her, three times in the morning, noon and evening is not too much, but she will suddenly fall silent, no matter whether Gu Ci is coquettish or sitting quietly with her, sometimes she will look at her distressedly for a long time without speaking, and sometimes look out of the window empty.
Gu Ci could sense that she was in a bad mood, extremely bad, and it was a kind of anger mixed with many emotions such as pity, entanglement, disappointment, and unbearable.
The emperor did not come once, but only rewarded a bunch of things every now and then, which is said to be piled up in the corner room of the West Side Hall.
The original day of returning home was February 2nd, which has been nearly 20 days, and it seems that it is about to be the March 3rd Festival, and she can change into beautiful spring clothes and ride a horse, but she has not been able to lay the burden and prepare to go home.
The wound has almost healed, the scabs, peeling and swelling are all smooth, and the master has not found out that she has other problems when he enters the palace every day, but he doesn't see the emperor or the queen mother say a word to let her go.
Gu Ci, who misses his family very much, doesn't dare to show his unhappy emotions, but he spends a lot more time reading and practicing calligraphy every day, and he has also saved a lot of small portraits of his relatives who can't see him.
***********************
It was another night when the stars were twinkling and the moon was setting, Gu Ci finished dinner and walked with Bajie under the corridor of the East Side Palace. The blue female official next to the Queen Mother suddenly appeared and asked her to go out.
Gu Ci put Bajie back into the house, called the two maids to go out, there were golden nine phoenixes and twelve chariots outside, and the queen mother asked her to sit beside her.
Riding through the long palace alley, the steps of the palace people sounded regular and consistent, the light of the stars and the moon sprinkled on the ground, and there were hazy shadows everywhere, only the place where their group passed was as bright as day.
This bright light meandered towards the Qianqing Palace.
The Queen Mother walked straight into the Qianqing Palace with her hand, and the guards in the palace avoided one after another, bowed down and saluted, and no one dared to stop her.
Grandmother was so tall that she had to trot to keep up.
The Qianqing Palace is not the same as the Qianqing Palace she saw in the Forbidden City, it does not have that kind of golden splendor, but it is more empty and far-reaching, the dome above seems to be much higher, and the golden dragon seal on the caisson has complex patterns.
"The Queen Mother."
"Your Majesty."
The emperor waved his hand, and the people in the hall retreated silently.
Gu Ci knew that what they were going to talk about must be related to her.
"The assassination of the Shangyuan Festival, has the emperor checked his eyebrows?"
The emperor raised his hand, and Mu Wanqing came out of the shadows behind the curtain, "County Lord, please come with the old slave." ”
The Queen Mother didn't let go of her hand, "How does the emperor plan to find out who is behind the scenes." If you find it, what do you do? ”
The emperor exhaled slowly, and only said, "Don't be angry, Queen Mother. Sit down and talk slowly. Wan Qing took Ah Luan out first. ”
The Queen Mother was not soft: "Ah Luan finally survived, doesn't the emperor plan to give her an explanation?" ”
Mu Wanqing lowered his head and retreated with solemn hands.
Gu Ci helped the Queen Mother to sit down, and there was a breathless tension in the hall.
After a while, the Emperor beckoned to her.
She walked over slowly, paused, and snuggled up to his lap.
The emperor hugged her on his knees and touched the corner of her forehead, "It's all right?" ”
"Back to the emperor, it's been good a long time ago."
"Ah Luan did a good job, and Brother Yuan'er is safe and sound is all your credit."
When Gu Ci heard the compliment, a pair of bright peach blossom eyes smiled into two crescents, this is the reaction that a normal person should have after hearing her feat of 'not fearing safety and seeing righteousness and courage'!
"I think I'm pretty useful, too!"
"Don't risk it next time! You're still a child, and you should go to an adult to solve something first! You can't be reckless on your own! ”
“…… Sincerely. "What a father and son!
"Does the emperor want to have a next time?"
“…… Queen Mother, please relax, this matter will definitely come to light. ”
"You have always valued the people who are still alive in your heart, and this is as it should be, and the mourning family will not blame you. However, when the next person you care about becomes a dead person, you can continue to plan for the living, huh! The mourning family is a mother, so I really admire you! ”
After the Queen Mother said this, the emperor was silent for a long time, and the hall was so quiet that it could be heard that the needles were falling.
"Does the queen mother still remember the uproar about the change of the crown prince the year before my father's funeral?"
"People who can't even pick up a pen, are you still worried that he can really abolish you?"
"During that time, I was serving by my father's side, and I heard a lot of old things. The emperor's grandfather was eloquent and loving, but his kinship was shallow, not only did he have only one child, but he was not in the same place since he was a child. His father and grandmother had been living in Changjing with his grandmother, and they only met for less than a month every year, and when the emperor's grandfather ascended the throne, the relationship between father and son was complete.
"Even ...... When the emperor's grandfather galloped for ten days to change horses and not change people to relieve the siege of Changjing, he did not know that his father and grandmother were still in Changjing, and after the reoccupation, he only settled the injured grandfather and went out of the city to pursue the Xiongnu. At that time, it was Concubine Linde's grandfather who helped. It was not until the western defense line was stabilized that the emperor's grandfather sent people to find the father, the emperor, the mother and son.
"Before the emperor's grandfather ascended the throne, he insisted that his father marry you, the queen mother, who resembled his maternal grandfather, and after Uncle Xuan and Uncle Chi entered the palace school, the emperor's grandfather also liked them more. In contrast, at that time, the emperor's grandmother had passed away, and the foreign family had no powerful relatives, and the father and emperor were not at all like the emperor's grandfather in addition to their appearance, and they had no extraordinary talents,...... It wasn't until I was born and was taken up by my grandfather that my father was at ease.
“…… My father never wanted to abolish me, he was only worried about whether I could treat my brother well. He didn't prohibit the rumors of the abolition of the crown prince, but he was instigated to see which brother was restless, and he would personally suppress it, so as not to ...... in the future
"That's why my father only said repeatedly before he died, I hope I will be more dedicated to my children than to state affairs."
The Emperor said after a while, "I, I'm not ready yet. ”
His name changed, from 'I' to 'I'. The role transition from a son to an emperor can be done with just one word.
The Queen Mother restrained her anger and said in silence for a long time: "The mourning family only knows that Brother Yuan is the only blood and blood of Ah Tong, and Ah Luan is the only granddaughter born to my only daughter. ”
Then he stretched out his hand to signal Gu to come over, but the emperor didn't mean to let go at all, and hugged it tighter.
The Queen Mother pulled the corners of her mouth impatiently, and dropped a sentence, "Send me back before going to bed." He turned around and left alone.
Gu Ci's whole person is not good......
She doesn't have any points at all for the skill of interpreting the flower!
The villain in his heart stretched out his hand: Dear, don't go! I can't take it alone!
The silent emperor stroked her head, not knowing where she was looking in a daze.
Just after listening to the words that he shouldn't have heard, he didn't dare to look up to study the facial expressions of the national leaders, so Gu Ci had no choice but to stare at the small furball on his pair of embroidered shoes.
Her feet couldn't touch the ground, and when she swayed, the little yellow furball trembled, revealing the pink beaded flowers hidden inside, which looked very cute.
The emperor suddenly spoke: "What is Ah Luan looking at?" ”
Gu Ci was startled, and then reacted and said, "I'm looking at the little hairball on my shoes." ”
The emperor touched the black and purple cloak on her body and said, "You look good in this small cloak, Wan Qing, go to the treasury and choose a few pieces of leather with outstanding colors, and send them to Cining Palace." ”
"Thank you, uncle, I'll wear it for you when it's ready."
“…… Were you scared? ”
"I'm afraid. Those two people were the most scared when they came in, and then before they could be afraid, they fainted......"
The emperor took her into his arms and patted her on the back, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." There will never be anything like this again! ”
Emperor Xu is voice was too gentle, and the shooting was too comfortable, and Gu Ci fell asleep in seconds.
