Chapter 456
"Alright, you kneel on the leaves! These months have been closed at home, and I have repented! At this time, the emperor's alcohol was a little upsurged, and sleepiness struck, so he immediately waved his hand impatiently to the queen and said: "As for the affairs of the harem, let Concubine Shu help take care of it for a few days!" β
"Your Majesty! This is absolutely unacceptable! When the queen heard this, she was greatly surprised.
Chapter 530: The Empress is punished
"Go down! Say more about me for half a year! A look of anger appeared on the emperor's face.
Seeing this, the queen was immediately startled, and hurriedly said: "Go back to the emperor!" The concubine will retire! As he spoke, he got up and covered his red and swollen face on the right side, turned around and stumbled out.
The emperor didn't even look at her, and took Gonggong Gao's hand back to the inner hall to rest.
The Empress returns to Kunning Palace. saw that his nephew Xie Yu had not left yet.
"Auntie! How did your face become like this? Who hit it? Xie Yu has always been worried about the queen, so he didn't go down to rest, he has been waiting here, and when he saw the queen's appearance at this moment, he was immediately furious.
The queen's appearance of being low and crying in front of the emperor was gone, and when she heard this, she said expressionlessly: "Who else can there be?" Of course, it was the emperor who hit. β
"Uncle? Why did he hit you? It must be for that slut of Gu Ruoxi! Auntie, don't worry, your nephew will definitely avenge you, and the whole Gu Ruoxi is better than dead! Xie Yu said, a hint of cruelty appeared at the corner of his mouth.
When the queen heard this, she didn't rush to refute Xie Yu, but just sighed: "Yu'er." Only you are the most distressed aunt, but the second lady of the Gu family has been in the limelight recently, don't conflict with her for the time being, this account will be slowly settled in the future! β
"Nope! Auntie, I can't bear this breath if you can't bear it! When Xie Yu heard this, he immediately said angrily: "What is that queen mother? She's not her uncle's biological mother! Why do you tell your aunt to kneel just because of a sentence? That Second Miss Gu will never be a good person, for such a long time, she may have already committed herself to King Jing! At this time, what kind of chaste martyr is still pretending to be here. What a shame! β
The queen had never heard this, and when she heard this, she was immediately stunned, and couldn't help asking, "Yu'er, what did you say?" It's true? Have you seen her close to His Royal Highness King Jing? β
"This nephew doesn't know." Xie Yu replied in a deep voice: "But in my opinion, a man, with a charming and charming fiancΓ©e, he will not endure for a long time, the marriage contract between King Jing and Miss Gu Er has been set for one year, and then she has to keep filial piety for three years, and in between, His Royal Highness King Jing never accepts concubines, if it weren't for this Second Miss Gu Er committed to him, would His Royal Highness King Jing be able to endure it for so long?" β
"There's some truth to what you're saying." When the queen heard this, she thought about it carefully, nodded and said: "But there is still something wrong, this King Jing cannot be compared with ordinary men, you think that the men in this world are like you." Just know how to linger in the flowers? β
When Xie Yu heard this, he snorted coldly and said, "That's not far from ten!" Auntie, don't worry, my nephew has already thought of an excellent way to deal with Gu Ruoxi, you just wait and see! β
The queen intellectually felt that the current situation was best not to conflict with Gu Ruoxi and others, after all, the emperor had always been on their side and would never help herself, but she had a bad breath in her heart because of today's incident, and she urgently needed to vent, Xie Yu's words just gave her a reason.
"Then be careful, this Second Miss Gu is not the crown princess, she is very smart!" The queen said in a deep voice: "To deal with her, you must be careful!" β
When Xie Yu heard this, he immediately nodded and said, "Auntie, don't worry." Nephew will be careful! β
Only then did the queen feel a little better in her heart.
β¦β¦
The next day, the emperor woke up from a hangover, but sat in the palace but was startled.
Gao Gonggong waited cautiously on the side, and did not dare to ask.
After a long time, the emperor suddenly asked, "Gao Jun, did you say that the crown princess had suffered a lot of grievances before?" β
It turned out to be the crown princess!
Gao Gonggong was shocked in his heart, but he pretended to be thoughtful on his face and said: "Back to the emperor, the past has been so long, why are you mentioning it now!" β
"I listened to what the Queen Mother said yesterday, and I think it is not unreasonable." The emperor replied in a deep voice: "The queen calculated the matter of the crown princess before, I didn't know it, but I didn't take it seriously, it's ridiculous that the queen is still crying out in front of me, what qualifications does she have to shout wrongs?" As he spoke, a thick sense of mockery appeared on his face.
When Gonggong Gao heard this, he immediately keenly noticed that the emperor was a little dissatisfied with the queen in his heart, and he didn't dare to refute, so he had to respond casually: "Back to the emperor, the crown princess may be a little wronged, but as the royal daughter-in-law, she should be wronged, although the queen mother scolded her a little, but at least for the sake of the prince, the intention is good." "The Lady of the Soil.
"You are not guilty of this, but you are not guilty of either." Hearing this, the emperor raised his eyebrows and glanced at Gonggong Gao, and suddenly said in a deep voice: "But do you think I can't see that you are on the queen's side?" β
When Gonggong Gao heard this, he was frightened and immediately knelt down.
"Your Majesty, the minions have no such intentions!"
"Arise, then! I'm just talking, look at you're scared. At this moment, the expression on the emperor's face softened.
Gao Gong thanked him fairly, and then slowly got up.
Unexpectedly, the emperor continued: "I hate the people around me the most, don't let me find out that you have taken refuge in the queen or either side, Gonggong Gao, you had better remember this sentence." β
"The minion remembers!" When Gonggong Gao heard this, his expression immediately froze.
The emperor did not look at him again, but ordered someone to come in and change his clothes.
On the side of Cining Palace, Gu Ruoxi got up early in the morning, and took the initiative to go to the kitchen to make several good pastries for the Queen Mother, such as golden coconut flakes and egg tarts, anyway, she could think of delicious things, and she got them all.
When the Queen Mother got up, Gu Ruoxi was already busy, and she personally went to help Aunt Jingyue serve the Queen Mother to change clothes and wash up. The queen mother was a little inexplicable: "Xi'er, shouldn't you have come to please the mourning family because of what happened last night?" β
"Queen Mother, you speak up, Ruoxi is very moved in her heart, and she can't repay it, so she can only be more filial and filial to your old man." Gu Ruoxi said with a smile.
When the Queen Mother heard this, she was very helpful in her heart, she glanced at Gu Ruoxi with a smile, and said with a smile: "It's your sweet mouth!" β
As the two of them were talking, the people in the outer palace reported that His Royal Highness King Jing had come down.
The Queen Mother immediately urged: "Your subordinates are all neat! β
Aunt Jingyue and the others couldn't help but speed up, and Gu Ruoxi couldn't intervene, so they stood aside and watched.
After a while, Xuanyuan Jingxi walked in from outside.
"Erchen invites the queen mother to leaves!"
"Get up! Why did you get here so early? The Queen Mother sat on the chaise longue, her hair was combed and smooth, with a huge phoenix crown on her head, and she was dressed in a sophisticated and neat palace dress, but she was full of energy.
All this, of course, is because of Xuanyuan Jingxi's return.
Gu Ruoxi bowed his knees and bowed to Xuanyuan Jingxi: "I've seen the prince." β
They are not married yet, so of course they have to salute him.
"Hurry up!" Xuanyuan Jingxi said, smiling at Gu Ruoxi, but walked up to the Queen Mother and said with a smile: "Look at the queen mother's radiant spirit today, but what happy things happened?" β
"Absolutely! It's the prince, you're back! Aunt Jingyue interjected with a smile on the side: "Queen Mother, the second lady has already prepared breakfast by herself, let's go over and eat first!" If you don't wait, it'll be cold. β
The Queen Mother was immediately taken aback when she heard this, turned her head and glanced at Gu Ruoxi and said, "You actually got up so early?" Why don't you sleep a little longer? β
"I couldn't sleep this morning, thinking that since I entered the palace, I would do more things for you, and I wouldn't be tired." Gu Ruoxi said with a smile.
When the Queen Mother heard this, she immediately turned her head to look at Xuanyuan Jingxi with a smile, and said, "Look, you might as well treat Xi'er as a mourning family!" β
"That's what the Queen Mother said." When Xuanyuan Jingxi heard this, he also smiled at Gu Ruoxi.
And when they had spoken, they went to the side hall together.
When the Queen Mother saw the big table full of delicacies, her eyes widened in surprise, and Gu Ruoxi explained in time: "Queen Mother, only the desserts and soups are made by Ruoxi, and the dishes are all the craftsmanship of the imperial dining room, and the time is limited, so ......"
"That's enough to surprise the mourners." The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Sit down!" β
"Yes, Queen Mother." Gu Ruoxi said, and sat down next to the Queen Mother. And Xuanyuan Jingxi sat on the other side of the Queen Mother.
This meal was also very warm.
After the meal, Gu Ruoxi said goodbye to the Queen Mother.
"You will live in the palace of the mourning family for a few days, and who will dare to say that yours is not?" When the Queen Mother heard this, she patted Gu Ruoxi's hand and said, "Jing'er will go out of the palace and go back to the house today, but he will come into the palace every day to invite Ye to the mourning family, don't you want to see him more?" β
"Ruoxi naturally thinks, it's just ......" Gu Ruoxi said, seemingly a little embarrassed, so he lowered his head.
Seeing this, the Queen Mother immediately sighed: "The mourning family understands, you are afraid that others will talk about it because of the queen's words yesterday?" Don't worry, there is a mourning family, and there will be no rumors! What's more, you have always been filial piety by the side of the mourning family, which is a good thing, who dares to say about you? β
When Gu Ruoxi heard this, he immediately responded: "Back to the Queen Mother, Ruoxi will not leave, stay in the palace and accompany you for a few more days." β
"That's a good boy!" When the Queen Mother heard this, she immediately smiled and patted Gu Ruoxi's hand.
So, Gu Ruoxi stayed in the side hall of Cining Palace, and when Xuanyuan Jingxi left the palace, she specially talked to him once.
"After you leave the palace, let someone send a message back home, so that Amber and the others don't have to worry, and there is another person you need to pay attention to."
When Xuanyuan Jingxi heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows: "Who is it?" β
"Xie Yu!" Gu Ruoxi said in a deep voice: "The last time I entered the palace, I went to the princess's bedroom with Aunt Jingyue, and I met this person halfway, he was a scoundrel, and he kept blocking me from passing, and then the third prince appeared before he stopped, and since then, he has been eyeing me, before entering the palace this time, he sent someone to send a box of things to my house, but when I opened it, it turned out to be some filthy and obscene things, and I was angry and destroyed all those things." β
"Coupled with the events at the palace banquet yesterday, I think this person must keep an eye on it, otherwise I don't know what kind of mess will happen in the future."
When Xuanyuan Jingxi heard this, a trace of anger immediately appeared in his eyes, he nodded, and said, "You can live with the queen mother for a few days, don't worry, Xie Yu's matter will be solved by me." β
"He is a man who is very cruel, he is by no means a decent man, you must be careful." Gu Ruoxi said: "You may be able to ask Amber, this time she is also out of the palace, in short, you must not act rashly against him." β
"Okay, I got it." Xuanyuan Jingxi immediately responded.
Gu Ruoxi looked at him, her face showed a hint of reluctance, not long after she saw Xuanyuan Jingxi, he was about to leave again.
But she is not an ignorant girl, and she will not hinder Xuanyuan Jingxi's departure because of the reluctance in her heart.
"Wait for me, and I'll have good news for you." Xuanyuan Jingxi said, staring deeply at Gu Ruoxi, and then turned around and left.
β¦β¦
In the days without Xuanyuan Jingxi, Gu Ruoxi has always stayed in Kunning Palace, not going anywhere, if someone visits the Queen Mother, she will hide in the side hall, and in her spare time, she will either make some sweet and soft pastries for the Queen Mother, or copy some scriptures.
The Queen Mother saw that she was not in a hurry or impatient, and lived in an orderly manner, and a few hints of approval immediately appeared in her eyes.
Occasionally, Gu Yuetong would also send someone to send something to the Queen Mother, and of course, she would also send one to Gu Ruoxi. Her months are getting older and older, and she rarely leaves the palace, and spends the whole day in her own dormitory, closed doors. The prince, on the other hand, has always been by her side.
And during this time, the limelight of the four princes was once again suppressed by the four princes, which was naturally because the queen was confined, because of this matter, the emperor did not have a good face for Xuanyuan Chun, and handed over the things that were originally assigned to him to others to do.
This made Xie Yu almost thunderous.
"Gu Ruoxi, a cheap woman, actually hurt her aunt and cousin who suffered such a big grievance! Master, I must kill her, kill her! Xie Yu scolded as he reached out viciously and swept all the tea and other things on the table next to him to the ground.
Ruyue couldn't help but persuade on the side: "Childe, Miss Gu Er was left in the palace by the Queen Mother, we have no other way now, it's useless for you to be angry, it's better to plan carefully, and wait for her to get rid of it after she leaves the palace." β
"You're saying it easy!" When Xie Yu heard this, he immediately snorted coldly and said: "You don't want to think about it, there is still King Jing outside this palace, although I have a noble status, I have not honored King Jing, how to deal with this?" Don't kill Gu Ruoxi, but I was killed by King Jing! β
Rushuang interjected on the side: "Childe, although His Royal Highness King Jing has a palace outside the palace, he always wants to enter the palace, right?" If Childe really wants to do it, then it is not difficult to take advantage of his absence from the house. β
"Haha! Or are you smart! When Xie Yu heard this, he thought carefully in his heart, and then laughed.
Rushuang remained silent: "Gongzi Xie praises, I can share the worries of Gongzi, this is my responsibility and Ruyue." β
"Well said!" Xie Yu grinned and said with a happy smile: "Now, you guys will help Ben Gongzi think of ideas, how to deal with that slut of Gu Ruoxi?" β
Chapter 531: The Law of Correspondence
If he still had a trace of curiosity and appreciation for Gu Ruoxi before, then after the turmoil of the reception banquet, he only had disgust and hatred for her.
Rushuang heard this, thought about it and said, "Childe, don't worry, this is not a problem that can be solved in a day or two. Take your time, you can always think of a way. β
"That's right, Gu Ruoxi's slut is currying favor with the Queen Mother in the Queen Mother's Palace at the moment! I don't know when I will be able to get out of the palace, my son will be happy for a few days, and then deal with her in the future, don't worry! Hearing this, Xie Yu stretched out his hand and touched his frosty white face, and said with a lewd smile.
Ruyue reminded her calmly on the side: "Childe, I don't know if the queen will be angry if you do this?" β
"Aunt is not like that!" When Xie Yu heard this, the expression on his face froze for a moment, but soon he regained his smile: "When she was about to leave the palace, she also told her lord, think twice about everything, deal with that slut of Gu Ruoxi, and outwit him." Can't fight! β
"I see, the slave is too worried." Ruyue heard this, and hurriedly lowered her head.
When Xie Yu heard this, he smiled, raised his hand and pulled the streamer on Ruyue's clothes hard, and she fell into his arms. The two of them laughed and rolled into a ball.
Needless to say, Xie Yu's 'happy and harmonious' on his side is needless to say, and since Xuanyuan Jingxi returned to King Jing's Mansion after leaving the palace, his face has been gloomy like a cloudy sky, and no one in the amber and ink clouds who were frightened dared to speak.
"I've only been around for a few months. Such a big thing happened! Xuanyuan Jingxi said in a deep voice: "Amber, what are you doing?" β
When Amber heard this, she immediately lowered her head, and her voice was low: "Lord Wang, this matter is the slave's fault. Please punish the prince! β
"What's the use of me scolding you?" Xuanyuan Jingxi said in a deep voice: "I can't let Xi'er be frightened, and I can't let Xie Yu dispel his thoughts!" β
"Lord Wang! The subordinates are going to kill him! When Amber heard this, her expression suddenly froze: "Then the young lady will not be in danger." β
"Stupid! Do you think Xie Yu is so easy to kill? Hearing this, Xuanyuan Jingxi sneered and said, "Are you underestimating Xie Yu's strength or underestimating the strength of the Xie family?" If you are killed easily, the Xie family will be too vulnerable! How can you be a strong backing for the queen? β
"What the prince said is that his subordinates are reckless!" Amber said as she heard this, her eyes flushed a little, and she bit her lip tightly.
She used to be the leader of the secret guard beside Xuanyuan Jingxi, although she impersonated Ziyi, and later stayed by Gu Ruoxi's side for a year, but the pride in her heart has not decreased a point, and now Xuanyuan Jingxi's merciless reprimand can be regarded as revealing her face.
Xuanyuan Jingxi heard this, and didn't look at her. He said in a deep voice: "When this king left the palace, Xi'er once told me that he wanted to ask you about Xie Yu's life and past, and you can tell me where Xie Yu is ruthless!" β
"Yes! Rajah! When Amber heard this, his heart suddenly froze, and he nodded hurriedly and responded: "Xie Yu is a person, but whoever angers him, he will retaliate in a very cruel way, often making the victim's life worse than death, in short, he is better at psychological warfare, not to mention, for example, Gu Xiaoye, the son of the ancient family, he killed people in a brothel to vent his anger." Later, it developed into a psychopath, and all of this is due to Xie Yu......"
Thinking of this, Amber's heart suddenly moved, and she suddenly thought that the person who originally designed Gu Xiaoye to provoke Xie Yu was Gu Ruoxi, so can it be said that Gu Xiaoye's metamorphosis was caused by the young lady, and even the death of Hou Ye......
No wonder Master Hou died, Miss would blame herself like this! In a short period of time, he has lost a lot of weight, and he is even more determined to keep filial piety for Hou Ye for three years, which is the first in the whole capital!
Thinking of this, Amber sighed in her heart, and she couldn't help but say to Xuanyuan Jingxi: "Lord Wang, Miss is very bitter in her heart, Lord Hou's death, she is eighty percent of the fault on herself, that's why she is so sad, the prince is empty, but you have to persuade her!" β
"Do you still need to say this? Of course, this king knows! When Xuanyuan Jingxi saw Amber's expression, she guessed what she was thinking in her heart, and immediately responded angrily, but in her heart, she was stunned.
