Chapter 188: Hate Becomes Hatred
Gu Qingge eavesdropped outside Concubine Liang's palace and learned that his aunt and mother had reached a consensus to find a way to cancel her marriage with Zhou Xianyu.
Gu Qingge, who felt betrayed and abandoned by his relatives, ran out of Yanqing Palace crying, walking aimlessly and in a daze.
Half a cup of tea, Qingxiang Palace can no longer be seen, Gu Qingge has already walked to a garden in the palace, just when she was full of grievances, confused and wiped her tears, and was about to pass through this forest, suddenly someone grabbed her wrist from behind her.
Gu Qingge, who only knew how to cry, where did he think that in such a secluded place, there would be someone haunting, and he immediately exclaimed in fright, and his little face turned back to look back.
When she saw clearly that the person who came was actually following Xue Hou's side, the aunt named Zuo Wen, she immediately bowed her knees and asked in a puzzled whisper:
"Auntie, what are you doing stopping Qingge, didn't you take Concubine Hui to treat your injuries with the queen's mother, why did you appear here again."
Seeing Gu Qingge, the appearance of the little family jade, and the other party's crying red and swollen eyes, Zuo Wen smiled secretly in her heart, feeling that this Miss Gu family was not only helpless to a cowardly white rabbit, but also very weak and easy to bully.
Zuo Wen has been by Xue Hou's side for many years, and what she is most unaccustomed to is actually Gu Qingge, who has no scheming and can only cry when she encounters something.
But thinking of her master's plan, Zuo Wen immediately showed a kind smile and said with a pleasant face:
"In fact, the slave maid will appear here, of course, on the order of the queen mother, and specially take care of Miss Gu, after all, although Concubine Hui is not lightly injured, but you are not pushed to the ground by the king, the mother asked me to ask you to go over, if you don't see the young lady with your own eyes, the queen will feel uneasy."
Hearing this, Gu Qingge's eyes turned a little red, from the beginning of the family banquet, she first complained to Gu Qingping, but was reprimanded by her brother, and when she overheard, she saw her aunt and mother-in-law also calculating her marriage behind her back, and refused to help her.
Gu Qingge, who would do this, even had a feeling of being abandoned by everyone, so she didn't even think about Empress Xue's concern, she was already moved and wanted to cry in her heart.
Therefore, I saw Gu Qingge and said gratefully: "Thank you for the queen's mother's memory of the little girl, auntie, let's leave now, if the mother is equal to me, then Qingge will be guilty." ”
Seeing that it was effortless, Gu Qingge was obediently willing to go with him, Zuo Wen despised the other party again in her heart, but she smiled more kindly on her face, and made a gesture of invitation, so she led the other party to turn around and walk to the left.
By the time Zuo Wen took Gu Qingge through the garden and walked through the two corridors, they were already in the imperial garden.
After walking a few meters further, when they turned a huge rockery, the two of them stopped, and Xue Hou was not far from them, looking at each other with a smile.
Although Gu Qingge can often enter the palace because of the good concubine, but Empress Xue, the mother of a country, she has only met a few times, and she has never talked to each other, and it is even more unprecedented to meet alone like today.
Gu Qingge, who was inevitably a little nervous in his heart, couldn't even speak, but after greeting Empress Xue with a slight tremble, he stood there crampedly, his hands were even tighter, and he felt that it seemed inappropriate to put his hands wherever he put them.
Seeing that she was so nervous, Empress Xue smiled gently, and then pulled Gu Qingge's cold hands up.
"Your child, have been married to the king, although this child has always been stubborn, but I am his mother after all, after you get married, Qingge will also call me a queen mother, I see you as if I see your own child, so you don't have to be so restrained in front of the queen mother, otherwise it will hurt the queen mother's heart."
Just now in the main hall of Yanqing Palace, when Empress Xue and Zhou Xianyu were fighting, that Fengyi and imposing aura left a deep impression on Gu Qingge.
But she didn't expect that Empress Xue in private would be so approachable, and most of the tension in her heart immediately disappeared, and then the grievances couldn't help but come up.
Especially when she heard that Empress Xue actually asked her to call the other party the queen mother, Gu Qingge was really moved when she heard this, she endured the discomfort of the day, as if she had found an outlet, and her tears flowed down again.
Seeing Gu Qingge crying, the corners of Empress Xue's mouth were vague, evoking a sneer.
When Empress Xue was not out of the cabinet, she was deeply loved by Prime Minister Xue, so as long as the other party returned to the house, whether it was office or discussing with the ministers, Empress Xue would follow her.
And under Xue Xiang's love and intentional cultivation, so Empress Xue is quite perfect for calculating people's hearts, and she has the style of her father.
Just a few days ago, she received a letter from Zhou Xiantai, and asserted that Xiao Jinxuan was Zhou Xianyu's favorite person, and also pointed out that Gu Qingge could be used well.
From then on, Xue Hou, who originally just wanted to deal with Xiao Jinxuan, immediately raised the danger level of the other party by several heights.
Therefore, Empress Xue, who originally only wanted Concubine Hui to assassinate Xiao Jinxuan by herself, so that she could be alone, not only personally gave Concubine Hui the Western Regions Life and Death Pot, but also asked Zuo Wen to prepare ********, in order not to call Xiao Jinxuan and leave the palace unhindered.
But her repeated plans, first the wine pot was seen through by Gu Qingping, and then Zhou Xianyu even did not hesitate to hurt the palace concubine, but also tried his best to protect Xiao Jinxuan, and the harmful Empress Xue had to be forced to stop and wait for another opportunity next time.
Although the assassination of Xiao Jinxuan failed, Empress Xue did not forget that she wanted to use Gu Qingge's chess piece well so that she could use it for herself in the future.
Therefore, although due to the will of Emperor Ming, she had to leave with Concubine Hui, but when she walked out of Yanqing Palace, she left Zuo Wen behind, and asked the other party to keep an eye on Gu Qingge, as long as there was a chance, she would attract the other party to come to see her.
As for her gentle and intimate words just now, it was just a means to win Gu Qingge's favor, seeing that the other party was moved by her, Xue Hou hurriedly made a distressed appearance, and asked pityingly:
"Good boy, what grievances have you suffered, tell the queen mother, look at you crying like this, the pear blossoms bring rain, and the queen feels hurt."
Hearing this, Gu Qingge raised his head with teary eyes, looked at Xue Hou and said in a choked voice:
"Thank you for the love of the queen, but Qingge is not blessed, I'm afraid I won't have the opportunity to call your queen mother in this life, my marriage with His Royal Highness, I'm afraid it won't happen."
Gu Qingge has been loved by her parents since she was a child, and her brother has protected her, so she, the daughter of the boudoir, understands the sinister truth of people's hearts.
Therefore, seeing the kindness on Empress Xue's face, she immediately told everything she overheard outside Concubine Liang's bedroom, without any scheming.
Empress Xue's eyes flashed with joy, after all, such a confidential matter is now in her hands, and when the concubine really uses the disagreement as the reason for refusing to marry, she can expose the other party, and then a charge of bullying the monarch will fall, that is, ten concubines, and the title will be abolished, and even her life will be difficult to save.
And when Empress Xue was patient and listened to all of Gu Qingge's words, she couldn't help but laugh in a low voice.
This laughter made Gu Qingge a little dazed, and he even forgot to cry, and asked very puzzled:
"Queen Mother, did Qingge say something wrong, why are you laughing like this."
Hearing this, Empress Xue hurriedly waved her hand, and it took a long time to stop laughing, and nodded Gu Qingge's forehead, and said with a full of ** eyes:
"Ben will laugh later, not because you said something wrong, but because I think Qingge you are too kind, but you have done something stupid."
Seeing Gu Qingge's expression, he became more and more confused, Xue Hou smiled, and said in a low voice:
"Qingge, think about it, no matter how your mother and concubine Liang calculate, you are now a quasi-princess, and your fate can be completely in your own hands, even if they are your elders, since they won't think about you, but help that Xiao Jinxuan, and come together to deal with you, what kind of relatives do you have to be nostalgic for."
Stretching out her hand and covering her mouth, Gu Qingge took a few steps back with a somewhat panicked expression, although she complained about Concubine Liang, and even hated her biological mother, as well as Xiangping, Shen Wenqing and others.
But in her heart, no matter how uncomfortable she was wronged, she never thought of breaking off with these close relatives.
But Empress Xue's words were too bewitching, and Gu Qingge's heart couldn't help but waver a little, feeling that her fate really shouldn't be controlled by others, even if these people were her closest family members!
Seeing Gu Qingge's face flashing with a look of struggle and thought, Empress Xue knew that the simple eldest lady of the Gu family in front of him probably listened to it in her heart.
Immediately, a ghostly light flashed in Xue Hou's eyes, and his voice was even more bewitching:
"Qingge, if you think about Xianyu, as long as you control this marriage by yourself, then you can become the princess, and you will be with Xianyu forever, and no one will separate you. At that time, even if you show that child, what can you do if you love Xiao Jinxuan, you are the rightful princess, you can be buried with the royal king after a hundred years, and you Gu Qingge is the only one who is written into the royal family tree, and there is no woman who can compete with you. ”
The hesitation and struggle on her face disappeared, and Gu Qingge's eyes even overflowed with a scorching madness, especially Empress Xue's sentence that she could be buried with Zhou Xianyu after a hundred years, which really moved her completely.
When she was alive, Gu Qingge knew that she might not be able to enter Zhou Xianyu's heart in this life.
But when she thought that after her death, a hundred years and thousands of years have passed, she can still sleep in the same cave with Zhou Xianyu, and never be separated from each other, she can't help but tremble with excitement in her heart, and the whole person is also immersed in a joy that is almost distorted.
But when he thought that what he could get was just to accompany Zhou Xianyu to sleep underground forever, and when he was alive, he still couldn't compare to Xiao Jinxuan, Gu Qingge, who was already a little stunned by love, immediately said very unwillingly:
"That's right, I am the princess, the only woman who can be buried with the king in the future, Xiao Jinxuan is something, but she is a humble concubine, just by virtue of her virtue and ability, she is worthy of competing with me for the king, and in this world, no one loves His Royal Highness more than me, why should Xiao Jinxuan fight with me."
Seeing that the hatred and resentment in Gu Qingge's heart were all stimulated by his own words, Xue Hou smiled, and said in a somewhat ethereal voice:
"Yes, then Xiao Jinxuan is really unworthy, in fact, in addition to Qingge, you can get the Xianyu after death, in fact, as long as you get rid of Xiao Jinxuan now, then the Xianyu is still yours alone, and no one will dare to compete with you for him."
On the dark side of his heart, with the temptation of Empress Xue's words, a cruel smile flashed on Gu Qingge's beautiful face.
She was originally gentle and kind, but at this moment, she completely hated because of love, and hated because of hate, and the reason in her heart was burned out by the fire of jealousy and hatred, she secretly swore that she must kill Xiao Jinxuan and completely turn Zhou Xianyu into her alone.
