Chapter 57: Expelling Chuxiu Palace
Gu Yunxi entered the palace with Leng Qingtang early in the morning, and when he went to Qinming Palace, she turned her head and rushed to Chuxiu Palace.
So far, the Overseer has not explained to her the reason for risking a corpse to act as the masked man, so it seems that the Overseer intends to let that person go, but why did he tell her in the Xichang prison at that time that he would definitely be arrested with his hands tied up when he was injured and had to be injured?
All kinds of confusion puzzled her, but at the moment they can only take a back seat, and the top priority is to go to Concubine Xu's palace.
In order to interfere with the enemy's sight, that day Minglan of the West Factory led people to search Chuxiu Palace, how could a person like Concubine Xu be so clean and widowed?
Gu Yunxi walked quickly to the outer garden of Chuxiu Palace with a worried heart, and was stopped by Yan Gui, the father-in-law in charge, before he stepped into the inner court.
"Yo, isn't this Twilight Girl? Are you here to fight in the East Factory, or are you from the celebrant supervisor? I think I'm in the wrong place! ”
The snow-white dust was in front of Gu Yunxi's eyes, and he was stunned not to let people take one more step forward. Yan Gui's face was full of scorn, and his smile was cold and mean.
Now that Gu Yunxi is not good at him, he can only beg him with good words:
"Father-in-law Yan, please let the slave and maid go in to see the mother, the slave and maid have a lot to say to the master."
"Master? Which one is your master? ”
Yan Gui sneered mercilessly, flipped the whites of his cold eyes, and pressed the corners of his mouth to the extreme:
"Our mother can't afford it, hurry back to where you should go, don't provoke your mother to be angry!"
The sharp voice attracted a few young palace maids, and the heads gathered at the corner gate to watch, and it was Lan Xin who was at the front, and her beautiful little face was full of anxiety.
Gu Yunxi didn't talk nonsense with Yan Gui anymore, knelt on his knees, raised his head and raised his eyebrows and shouted:
"Niangniang, the palace maid of Chuxiu Palace, Tu Duxue, returned to the palace after the deadline, knowing that she was guilty, she only wanted to meet Niangniang, and she had no complaints if she wanted to beat and punish the slave maid."
After speaking, a bang banged on the ground.
Yan Gui's complexion hesitated slightly, and after a while, he continued to put on a posture of rushing people, and said impatiently:
"Let's go, you can't stay in Chuxiu Palace!"
Gu Yunxi's move had some effect, and after a while, the footsteps were chaotic, and the palace maids of the corner gate immediately dispersed, and then Jinzhu walked with careful steps.
Raising her eyes slightly, seeing that her facial features were condensed and her complexion was silent, Gu Yunxi knew that the situation in the palace was not good.
Concubine Xu has always had a cold temperament, and her casual conversations with Jinzhu and Gu Yunxi always brought out her contempt for the eunuchs in the court, but she didn't think that her favorite palace maid would finally reveal her identity, and she turned out to be the first person in the ceremonial supervisor and the commander of the Dongchang Governor Leng Qingtang, which is not equivalent to asking the arrogant Concubine Xu to slap herself in the face?
Don't blame her for her temper, whoever puts this matter will get angry.
After Jinzhu quickly looked at Gu Yunxi, he turned to Yan Gui and whispered:
"The mother told her to go in."
Yan Gui was surprised, so he picked up the dust and no longer stopped him, and said impatiently to Gu Yunxi:
"Alright, alright, don't kneel, let's go."
Gu Yunxi bowed again:
"Thank you, Aunt Jinzhu."
Jinzhu's face was gloomy, his lips moved but he didn't speak, and turned to walk ahead.
Gu Yunxi clasped his hands in his sleeves and cautiously followed his heels.
The familiar courtyard, after the baptism of severe winter, the ice and snow smashed, are now all bald and withered, not yet to the time when the flowers are in full bloom.
Stepping into the hall, the dull air that seemed to be static made Gu Yunxi's heart rise and fall violently, and he was so nervous that he couldn't speak.
Concubine Xu is sitting upright, with a long skirt of green plum falling snow and dark flowers with a plum red fox fur neckline, dignified and beautiful.
The deputy seat is Gu Yunyao, with a brocade wide-sleeved skirt and a silver moonlight jacket.
Seeing Aunt Dusk coming, Gu Yunyao's dark eyes suddenly lit up, and she suppressed a little surprise, not daring to bring it to her face easily.
Concubine Xu was silent, her delicate face was full of anger, her cold eyes locked on Gu Yunxi's face, and her red lips were lightly pursed with a hint of coldness.
Three days ago, Xichang Tiqi was ordered to come to the palace to search the ear room where the traitor Tu Duxue lived, but he just rummaged through it and didn't take anything with him.
However, that operation feasted the eyes of the harem people.
Concubine Xu was immediately angry, and she would never allow her favorite palace maid to be framed, and she went straight to Qinming Hall to complain to the Governor of Xichang for being rude, and was reprimanded by Emperor Jingxiao.
On the way back to Chuxiu Palace, all kinds of eyes shot from both sides of the road, indifferent, ridiculed or ridiculed, made her noble concubine feel dull.
Fortunately, Concubine Yu visited Chuxiu Palace from time to time and accompanied Concubine Xu to say all the words of consolation, which eased Concubine Xu's inner depression and anger a little.
Then the palace was purged, and Hu Shun was extremely the palace maid a total of 57 people, and at the same time there were rumors that Tu Duxue was robbed and helped the governor of Dongchang to annihilate the rebel party, and the more he said, the more evil it became, what Concubine Xu began to seek for herself after giving birth to the prince Hua Nanlin, for the future of Lin'er, she tried to climb the power of Dongchang, and secretly accepted Tu Duxue, the secret guard of Dongchang, to be an errand boy in Chuxiu Palace, and collected information about the traitor for Dongchang. In the end, Xu Shangshu, the old father of Concubine Xu, had to enter the palace and confront his daughter in person.
Concubine Xu was at a loss for words, and she even had the heart to die.
It's only to blame that her reaction is too slow, that Tu Duxue is strong in martial arts, clever and ingenious, which really makes Concubine Xu think that it is the favor of God that she has picked up a treasure, why didn't she expect such an excellent character to be Leng Qingtang's meticulous work?
I'm afraid it's not really as my father guessed, the former dynasty is connected to the harem, he is at odds with the eunuch in the court, and he has placed eyeliner in Chuxiu Palace to help Dongchang solve the case on the one hand, and on the other hand, he can also monitor his daughter's every move and wait for the opportunity to make a big fuss?
In any case, Tu Duxue must not stay in Chuxiu Palace anymore!
"The slave and maid Tu Duxue have seen the master, the concubine Yu, and the two mothers are blessed with Jin'an."
At this time, Gu Yunxi knelt on the ground and finished speaking lightly, and knocked his head on the ground again, and did not look up for a long time.
She could feel two sharp eyes above her head as if the blades were cutting straight at her, stabbing her back tightly, and her heart twitched.
Concubine Xu was silent for a long time, and the already solemn atmosphere suddenly tensed to the extreme.
Gu Yunyao, who was in the second seat, looked at Concubine Xu with frowning, and then cast her resentful gaze on Gu Yunxi, pulling her lips and smiling far-fetched:
"It is better for a man to return safely than anything else......
Concubine Xu still didn't speak, Gu Yunyao immediately smiled, and her face was not embarrassed.
At this time, she began to be angry with Leng Qingtang again, and only complained that he really hurt Concubine Xu miserably this time.
Gu Yunxi bowed his head and prostrate in his heart, and the voice of the first clear and solemn suddenly came:
"Get up, I remember that when you entered Chuxiu Palace the day before, the palace said that you don't like people to kneel. In the past, the girl was on an errand in this palace, and if the girl was wronged by her words and deeds in this palace, I hope you must not hold a grudge. ”
Gu Yunxi Mumu got up, looking a little hasty and a little aggrieved:
"The mother wants the slave to die and speak, don't use this to rip the slave's heart. The mother treats the slave and the maid very well, and the slave and the maid respect the mother, so how can she be disobedient? ”
"Where does this palace dare to call you dead?"
Concubine Xu's anger that she had endured for a long time suddenly burst out of her heart, and she immediately glared, and the sparks burst under her eyes, and she angrily reprimanded:
"Good minion, you're really good at pretending! You only came to Chuxiu Palace that day, and in order to lure out the traitors in the palace, you colluded with your master to stage a bitter plan, but you first fooled the palace. This palace did not hesitate to show up for you to go to the celebrant and personally fish you out, I thought you were an honest and stable honest person, and I didn't want you to be the most exquisite disguise master! ”
The scolding made Gu Yunxi feel guilty, she never thought that she would break with Concubine Xu like this one day, her eyes were moist for a while, and she couldn't cry:
"Niangniang's kindness and slave maid are unforgettable, I just ask Niangniang to temporarily extinguish the thunder and anger, and in the future, the slave and maid are willing to be cattle and horses, and Yongquan repays Niangniang's kindness."
"It's no longer necessary to be a cow and a horse," Concubine Xu chuckled, turning her head slightly and no longer looking at her:
"Since you are the person of the cold overlord, you will not be allowed to stay here in this palace!"
Gu Yunxi was stunned on the spot.
"Sister think twice."
The one who showed shock with her was Concubine Yu Gu Yunyao, who heard that Concubine Xu was going to make people yearn for her, and couldn't help but want to intercede for Aunt Duan.
Seeing Concubine Xu raise her jade hand and stop Gu Yunyao's words, she said with clear eyebrows:
"Sister, don't say much, if I keep her any longer, I will really bear the name of coveting the unification and colluding with the eunuchs."
Gu Yunyao squinted at Gu Yunxi's humble posture and felt pity, and shook her head with a light smile at Concubine Xu:
"Sister, I don't know that I am not afraid of shadows, so why bother with those bastard words in the harem. Don't say that the one in Dongchang is not so capable, just say that at the moment, you are impulsively driving Aunt Dusk out of the palace, and you are even more interested in the way of those people, and you don't know what to arrange behind your back. Mo Ruo left her for a while, and waited for the wind to go......"
"Humph......"
Concubine Xu suddenly sneered:
"Sister, we're all in this minion's place!"
The sharp eyes were raised, and the maid of the first palace saw it, and put the brocade box in her hand in front of Gu Yunxi's eyes.
Concubine Xu hooked her lips and smiled indifferently:
"Look, you should remember what's inside, right?"
