Chapter 226: Chips
"So, Miss Su really figured it out?" Gu Yinzhao held the teacup and sipped it lightly, happy to look at it, and did not mention the holy decree documents brought by Ruoyun and sorted out.
Ruoyun looked at him as expected, raised his hand and drank the full cup of bitter tea, noncommittal.
This was the first time she had returned to the Gu Mansion, and it might be the last. I thought that the father and son were in the same dynasty, how brilliant and good this place would be, but I didn't know that the Gu Mansion was as simple as Gu Yinzhao's plain gown, not only the cups and cups used were all white porcelain, but the tea in it was also quite bitter, and no one had visited until I sat down.
"Then, I don't know Miss Su, can you leave tomorrow?" Gu Yinzhao saw that she was calm and calm, and said with some sharpness.
"Gu Yinzhao, since I have left the palace, I have no intention of entangling the royal affairs anymore, but I have my reasons to go with you. There are also a lot of reasons not to go, just pick one or two to stay out of the way. Ruoyun squinted, put the cup on the table, and her eyes suddenly cold, "You begged me for this matter, not for me to beg you, and please understand this." ”
"Yes, Gu Mou lost his words." Gu Yinzhao's expression was awe-inspiring, and he hurriedly saluted, "I don't know when Miss Su is going to leave?" After all, there are many dreams at night, and there is not enough time for you and me. ”
"The helper that Master Gu wanted to bring was found?" Ruoyun didn't answer immediately, but pretended to be thinking hard to open the lid of the teapot, and saw a lot of lotus hearts at a glance.
"Yes, Gu Mou naturally has to have chips when he goes." Gu Yinzhao replied, smiling slightly, "It's Princess Rong." ”
Ruoyun's expression was slightly sluggish when she heard this, and then she nodded: "How is the princess?" ”
"Princess......" Gu Yinzhao coughed lightly. Covering it with his hand, he said, "I'm pregnant." He is now under strict guard, and has agreed to accompany him. ”
Ruoyun was stunned for a moment. staring at the lotus heart in the teapot silently, it took a while to close the lid heavily, and said with a sneer: "I don't know if the emperor will be happy for his brother if he knows about this." ”
"Miss Su's words are really sharp." Gu Yinzhao said and sat upright, with a lot of helplessness.
"The princess hasn't seen the princess for a long time, and in order to keep the child, she has to swallow her anger for a long time. The child will be born before the Chinese New Year, and she is now showing her belly, and she has this opportunity to return to her husband. No matter how dangerous it is, she will answer. Ruoyun changed her words and simply talked about Hu Yu'er, "I think, this move is your decision, Master Gu?" ”
The delicate but not commanding lady of the Hu family. The appearance of kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly in the Golden Temple is still in front of me. In a blink of an eye, he kept a low profile in the dark room, guarding against others from knowing, and at the same time living quietly, he really responded to Wang Han's sentence "Although a woman is weak, a mother is strong".
"It's Gu, Gu Mou's trip is to steal troops and not send them to death, no matter what, he has to have hole cards in his hand." Gu Yinzhao smiled embarrassedly, and had to admit that he had picked up the bargain of "Princess Pregnancy" by mistake.
"This is a hole card, then Master Gu is going to lose." Ruoyun squinted. Choked him.
"Gu Mou is just for the sake of insurance, so he asked Miss Su to accompany him. After all, the people who have to deal with it are not only Rong Wang Ye and the rest of the people, but also the Xili people who have mixed in. Gu Yinzhao smiled stiffly, and finally understood why the emperor was so angry with Concubine Su Xian that he jumped to his feet, in other words, he actually had this impulse.
"It's a pity that the emperor's bet on dealing with Prince Rong is not mine, and there is someone else in the hole card." Ruoyun finally opened the skylight, and her expression was fixed, "The emperor doesn't want to steal troops or persuade him to surrender for a while, the emperor wants Prince Rong to return to heaven willingly and desperately." ”
Gu Yinzhao was taken aback this time, and was stunned for a long time before he said in disbelief: "Miss Su's words are serious?" ”
"Yes, in addition to the princess Rou Yan, there is one more person with you." Ruoyun nodded.
Gu Yinzhao immediately stood up when he heard the "princess who left the country", but looking at her calm appearance, he knew that she was not joking, although he and his father had been planning this matter very carefully, but Su Ruoyun, who intervened, not only helped, but also brought a big bargaining chip as soon as she came.
"Master Gu, don't be impatient." Ruoyun said something to appease, poured herself another cup of bitter tea, and sighed, "Lotus Seed is bitter in her heart, but Lord Gu Yan is bothered." As he spoke, he drank it happily.
Even Rong Jinhuan has something he doesn't want to touch, but unfortunately Lin Duyan told her when she was dying, she also took a risk by using it as the biggest bargaining chip in her hand, and if she wasn't careful, it might backfire, and if Rong Jinhuan knew that she did this, he would probably want to kill her.
"Miss Su, with all due respect." Gu Yinzhao looked at her face frowning because of the bitter tea, thought about it and confessed, "It's not only Gu who is going here, but also General Fu, who is bound to protect you and me." ”
"General Fu......" Ruoyun heard this title familiar, and suddenly realized after thinking about it, "That general I have seen in the back mountain." Are you saying that the emperor wants him to go with him, to protect you...... I? ”
"That's all Gu said." Gu Yinzhao saw that she understood, and smiled slyly.
"So, this is the condition of Lord Gu's exchange with me?" Ruoyun's heart was depressed, and her face sank.
The emperor had to force her to comply with such a situation, and for this reason, she had a reason to do it, so that she couldn't escape no matter how she escaped. A fox is a fox, better than a weasel's method, but in this way, she wants to go to a place where she can be completely at ease.
"Gu has a grandfather and a father, and a wife and a child, if Miss Su can do her best to help, I will be at ease." Gu Yinzhao did not shy away from saying what he thought in his heart.
"Don't get too excited, even if I give it my all, I'm not 100% sure. I only waited for me to pick up one person, and I didn't know until I got to King Rong's place. Ruoyun looked at him coldly and smiled bitterly in her heart.
"I heard that the county lord returned to Beijing, and brought back the son of the Cheng family, and visited Miss Su first, how long does the girl think Beijing can be delayed?" Gu Yinzhao reminded.
"More than a month." Ruoyun replied loudly, stood up and said, "Don't underestimate Lord Hu and Xue Yuanche, the rigidity and stubbornness of these two people can play a role when people are panicking." Lord Xu is by no means an ordinary person, and it is enough to support Lord Gu Yan. ”
"It's just that I don't know how long the emperor can last." Gu Yinzhao sighed and said with some regret.
"Your Majesty?" Ruoyun frowned and sneered, "Asking for hardship, you deserve to be trapped." ”
Gu Yinzhao swallowed his saliva, looking at the woman in front of him who had faint eyebrows and dazzling eyes, plain clothes but outstanding spirit, and felt extremely admired, although he had slandered countless times, at least he didn't have the courage to say it.
Ruoyun had a conversation with Gu Yinzhao, so he immediately went to the palace.
I don't know what kind of prestige she had in the palace when she was Concubine Su Xian, the guards didn't stop her when they saw her, and the palace people were even more in awe when they saw her.
Ruoyun did not look for Wang Han or Chu Rulan on this trip, but went straight to Changde's residence, and watched Changde salute her in a panic, and couldn't help but sarcastically: "Father-in-law Chang, this palace is really a good guard, let me, a folk girl, go in and out, and I'm not afraid that I will take the opportunity to rebel?" ”
"Ouch, mother......" Chang De hurriedly stopped halfway through speaking, swallowing the title into his stomach, "Even if you don't have a title now, everyone in this palace knows you, who else dares to stop you?" ”
Ruoyun didn't want to reason with him, so she just said: "Changde, take me to Yong'an Palace, I want to take someone away." ”
Chang De's face immediately changed, and he knelt down with a "poof": "Please...... Beg for mercy minions! If you don't have a holy decree, you can't take people away from Yong'an Palace! ”
"Changde, you have been loyal to the royal family for so many years, and you really haven't done a few things that disobeyed the holy decree but did it for the emperor's good?" Ruoyun looked at his gray hair, sighed and shook his head, "The person I want to bring, Grandpa Chang must know who it is." ”
Changde met her burning gaze, and immediately sweated like rain, and said in a trembling voice: "Niangniang, why are you here?" ”
"Master Gu, Chang Daozong's relatives are weak, and I am afraid that the power will fall, if I want to ask Prince Rong to return to the court, I will inevitably take this person with me, Chang Gonggong." Ruoyun's eyes were deep, and she bowed her head and whispered, "The emperor is trapped at the junction of Xuanzhou. ”
Chang De was instantly surprised, his face became as white as paper, and he almost didn't lose his breath, and said tremblingly: "Girl...... You...... Are you serious? ”
"If you don't want to change the dynasty, my father-in-law can only hold Xiang Shang's head with me to ask for guilt." Ruoyun stood up straight, smiling and waiting for an answer.
Chang De thought about it again and again, gradually stopped trembling, and resolutely got up and said: "The old slave is about to die, and he has to help this even if he loses his head." ”
"Chang Gonggong is serious, if it weren't for Lord Gu Yinzhao's advice, I wouldn't have thought of this place, and you and I wouldn't be the only ones who lost my head." Ruoyun immediately pulled Gu Yinzhao's back, and she was quite comfortable.
Changde had to sigh heavily, and immediately ordered someone to go to Yong'an Palace to wait.
Ruoyun was accompanied by him all the way, she didn't want to come here, but she had to come, walking on the path she had worked so hard to clean, and now it was full of dead leaves, and all kinds of trance and pain in the past.
Passing by a house, I saw a woman standing by the window with a familiar face and looking into the distance.
"This is the former Concubine De Niangniang." Changde whispered.
Ruoyun was surprised, although she recognized her, but she was melancholy, how could Luo Yiran still have half of the pride and momentum of the year? The flower looks old, the temples are slightly white, and the empty eyes are more depressed than Leng Qiu, I don't know whether to think about the Luo family who confiscated her, or the emperor who abandoned her.
Ruoyun shook her head and motioned for Changde to leave quickly, but when she reached that corner, she didn't rush in, but asked someone to bring a letter in.
After not seeing anyone come out for a long time, Changde was a little worried: "Mother...... Miss Sue, is this all right? In case you refuse to ......"
"No, no." Ruoyun stood straight and full of confidence.
Sure enough, after a while, the little eunuch who delivered the letter came out to reply, and an old lady also came out, bowing to Ruoyun and saying, "Please wait a while, and the master will go with you." ”
Chang De immediately opened his mouth in surprise, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you." Ruoyun returned the salute and smiled.
"The person who went last time must have been you, the girl." The old lady had sharp eyes and said to her unexpectedly.
Ruoyun was slightly stunned, and then nodded: "Exactly." (To be continued......)
