Late at night, Li Shimin returned to his dormitory.

Seeing that Li Shimin was gone, and Gu Ruoyu's day's work was over, she straightened her waist, stretched out her arms and moved a few times, and was ready to leave.

At this time, a eunuch with several palace maids came over and said to her: "Congratulations, Your Majesty has taken a fancy to you, let you sleep tonight." ”

"What?" Gu Ruoyu was stunned all of a sudden.

Seeing Gu Ruoyu in a daze, the eunuch said, "Don't hurry up, you serve her to bathe." ”

Several palace maids came over and saluted her and said, "Congratulations." There was envy in his tone.

Gu Ruoyu frowned and said, "No, I can't go to bed." ”

"Bold, this is the Divine Decree. Disobedience is a capital offense. The eunuch scolded.

Gu Ruoyu said anxiously: "No, I really can't go." ”

"Is this up to you? Come on, wait for her to bathe. The eunuch said.

A few palace maids came over, couldn't help but say, and hugged Gu Ruoyu and left.

Gu Ruoyu struggled and said, "I want to see the prince." ”

The eunuch ignored her and waved her hand to let the palace maids drag her away.

However, this eunuch was a little curious, the women in the palace, when they heard that His Majesty was pampered, they would all be overjoyed, and this little woman actually behaved like this. He was worried that Gu Ruoyu would not obey and anger His Majesty, and they would not be able to eat and walk around. So, he told Wang De about the situation here.

Gu Ruoyu was taken to the bathroom, and several palace maids forcibly bathed her despite her struggles, persuading her while washing.

A palace maid said: "You are really, how many people in the palace are looking forward to Your Majesty's favor, Your Majesty can take a fancy to you, and you will ascend to the sky in one step." ”

"Yes, your fate is good, our sisters don't have this blessing." A palace maid said.

"Don't make trouble, if you really anger Your Majesty, you're going to be killed." Someone said.

Lizheng Palace.

Empress Changsun was a little tired today, so she rested early. At this time, a eunuch came over in a hurry, and he asked the eunuch who was guarding outside to call out Hai'an, the personal maid of Empress Changsun, and said to her: "The chief manager sent me, you hurry up and report to the queen, Your Majesty will let Gu Ruoyu sleep tonight." ”

Although Hai'an didn't know about Gu Ruoyu, Wang De sent someone here, and she didn't dare to slack off. Hai'an hurriedly walked into the bedroom of the eldest grandson queen, and she called softly: "Niangniang, Niangniang." ”

Empress Eldest Sun opened her eyes and asked, "Hai'an, is there something wrong?" ”

Hai'an said: "Niangniang, the chief manager of the king sent someone to say that His Majesty wants to let a palace maid named Gu Ruoyu sleep in the bed." ”

"What?" Empress Eldest Sun was shocked and sat up suddenly. She said, "Quick, change my clothes." ”

Emperor's bed.

After Gu Ruoyu finished taking a bath, he was wrapped in a blanket by two eunuchs and carried to Li Shimin's bedroom. Gu Ruoyu was so anxious that she didn't dare to tell the eunuchs her identity, so she could only wait until she entered Li Shimin's bedroom and then tell him. But it was so embarrassing for her to be sent in like this.

Just as she was about to be sent into Li Shimin's bedroom, Empress Eldest Sun came in a hurry. She saw Gu Ruoyu being carried, and hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, you can send her back." ”

The eunuchs did not dare to disobey her decree and carried Gu Ruoyu back.

When Li Shimin heard that Empress Changsun was coming, he was a little surprised and unhappy. In the past, Empress Changsun would not interfere in such a thing, and once Li Shimin canonized a newcomer, Empress Changsun would help him go through the canonization procedures, arrange accommodation and other things, and never let him worry about it.

Seeing Empress Changsun, Li Shimin asked a little unhappily: "Guanyin, why are you here?" ”

Empress Changsun said to Wang De: "You go out first, don't let people get close to here." ”

Wang De said: "Yes, Niangniang, the slave and maid are retired." ”

Li Shimin saw Empress Eldest Sun's actions, and asked in some surprise: "What's wrong, what's wrong?" ”

Empress Changsun said, "Your Majesty, you can't pamper Gu Ruoyu. ”

Li Shimin was really a little unhappy, he pulled his face and said, "Guanyin, is there anything wrong with Gu Ruoyu?" ”

Empress Eldest Sun said: "Erlang, do you know a person named Qiao Mengjie?" ”

"What, Qiao Mengjie? How did you hear about her? Li Shimin asked in surprise.

When Empress Changsun saw Li Shimin's expression, she knew that what Li You said was true. She asked, "Erlang, do you think Gu Ruoyu looks like Qiao Mengjie?" ”

Li Shimin was extremely smart, she heard something wrong from the words of Empress Eldest Sun, and he said in disbelief: "Could it be that she, she and Qiao Mengjie are ......?"

"Yes, Gu Ruoyu is Qiao Mengjie's daughter, that is, your daughter." Empress Eldest Sun said.

"This, this ......" Li Shimin broke out in a cold sweat.

Empress Eldest Sun knew that Li Shimin was frightened, and she waited in silence for Li Shimin to get used to it.

After a long time, Li Shimin finally spoke: "How did you know about this?" ”

Empress Changsun told Li Shimin everything Li You told her, but she automatically omitted Li Yuanji's matter.

Li Shimin needed time to digest these contents, and he said: "It's too late today, let's talk about it tomorrow afternoon." ”

Empress Changsun retired, Li Shimin lost sleep again, and the past tossed him one night after another.

The next morning, Li You had just left the morning court, and Empress Changsun had already sent someone to wait for him outside the Taiji Palace, and Li You followed the person to the Lizheng Palace.

"Li You, your father already knows about Gu Ruoyu." As soon as she saw Li You, Empress Changsun told him what happened last night.

Li You was very depressed, he just decided not to talk about it anymore yesterday, but he didn't expect things to become like this today. He asked, "Queen Mother, what are your plans?" ”

Empress Eldest Sun said: "I thought about it for a long time last night, and since this matter has been revealed, I can only let their father and daughter recognize each other. However, Li Yuanji's incident should not be mentioned again. ”

Hearing Empress Changsun say this, Li You breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, what he was most worried about was that Empress Changsun did not dare or was unwilling to hide it from Li Shimin, so he told her about Li Yuanji. Since she meant to conceal this matter, it was exactly what Li You wanted.

Empress Eldest Sun asked with some concern, "Who else knows about this matter?" Will there be a leak? ”

Li You said: "As far as me, my mother, and Wei Chigong know, but I have already negotiated with Yu Chigong, and he will not say it." He didn't mention Xiao Wanyu, Gao Henian and Liu Feixu, so as not to implicate them.

Empress Eldest Sun asked, "Didn't you say that someone in the Hundred Horsemen Division might know?" ”
