88, to die
Since the last time Xiao Yue saw her and Astragalus trying to make some tricks out of jewelry, she really assigned a craftsman to her.
From that craftsman, Gu Nian learned a lot of things, and especially loved to listen to the craftsman's talk about the ancients.
Gu Nian always felt that the pot in the palace man's hand was very similar to the pot in a story told by the craftsman, the kettle.
The outside of the flask looks no different from an ordinary flask, but there is a hidden mechanism inside, which is divided into two, which can be filled with different liquors, and the mechanism of the handle of the kettle is secretly moved, and different liquors come out.
The pot is said to have been lost, but how did it end up here?
She glanced at the wine jug and retracted her gaze, the palace people poured wine once, and gradually turned to Gu Nian's face, she suddenly understood why the four princesses had to pull her to sit together.
Gu Nian looked at her as if nothing had happened, with a decent smile, watching the palace man finish pouring the wine for the female relatives beside her, and walked to her side with the pot, the same as before, the long spout stretched out to the wine cup in front of her.
With a smile on her face, she knocked her hand on the table, but her eyes watched the palace man pour the wine.
She could see it clearly, the palace man's thumb pressed a small button above the handle at the moment when the wine jug was tilted, and the movement was extremely slight, if she hadn't deliberately checked it, she would never have noticed it.
A lady at the table took a sip and sighed, "The best osmanthus stuff." ”
The golden liquor was steadily poured into her cup.
She was the last to pour the wine, and the palace people gently put the wine jug in front of the four princesses, and then left.
Gu Nian's fingers pinched his palm tightly, pressed the fluctuation in his heart, and slowly raised his eyes to look at the four princesses, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, only to see the four princesses get up again, pick up the wine cup, glance at the whole table, and his eyes fell on her, "This cup, Jingdong leaves the country and the wind and rain are smooth, long live and live forever." ”
Gu Nian picked up the wine glass, and the golden liquid in the wine glass shook slightly, like flowing gold, exactly the same as the people around him.
I don't know what the fourth princess put in this glass of wine for herself, but she knows that this wine must not be drunk.
She picked up the wine cup, and when a lady next to the fourth princess was talking to her, she put the cup to her lips, alternated her hands, raised her neck, and drank it all.
The wine flowed down the wide sleeves and into her arms, the clothes in the winter were heavy, the wine flowed in, and it was sucked away by the clothes in an instant, Gu Nian only felt that the wine was sticking to the skin, not cold, but hot to the bones, to burn the internal organs.
When the fourth princess turned her head to look at Gu Nian, she happened to see her take away the wine cup on her lips, Gu Nian saw this, smiled at her, and poured the wine cup upside down.
The fourth princess smiled back, it was so weird.
Gu Nian talked to the lady beside her from time to time, she felt that the world was so small, but she didn't expect the lady next to her to be Princess Ping.
She didn't come back to her senses when she first heard the title of Princess Ping, she only felt very familiar, and after thinking for a while, she remembered that Gu Ci was the side room made for King Ping.
Xiao Yue said that King Ping was already old, but Princess Ping in front of him seemed to be only in the age of flowers.
Princess Ping saw her come back to her senses, and heard Princess Ping ask, "Princess Jin once stayed in the Gu family, and she knows that there is a girl in the Gu family who was included in the palace by our prince, and she was also named a side concubine, the princess should know, right?" ”
Princess Ping's next sentence was even more sudden, "Has Princess Jin ever been harmed by Concubine Gu?" Have you ever been displaced because of this? ”
Gu Nian made up his mind and spoke, "Yes." ”
She didn't know how Gu Ci got into King Ping's eyes, and she didn't want to know, so after knowing about this matter, she left it behind.
The matter between her and Gu Ci was full of turmoil at that time, and it was impossible for Princess Ping not to know.
Judging from Gu Ci's performance that day, she should be favored in King Ping's Mansion, otherwise she would not have asked her to be a side concubine as soon as she entered the mansion.
It's just that Princess Ping asked, what does it mean?
She didn't want to take care of the internal turmoil in the palace, and she couldn't afford it, she just told the facts, Gu Ci had harmed her, and it was not false at all.
No matter how young she is, this matter will not pass, because because of her stupidity and jealousy, she really killed a human life.
Princess Ping groaned slightly when she heard this, and wanted to ask something, so she saw the fourth princess come over and asked, "What are the two of you whispering?" ”
Although Gu Nian has been talking to Princess Peace, she still keeps an eye on the movements of the four princesses, and although the four princesses have been talking to people, they still glance at their direction from time to time.
She pretended not to notice.
Probably the four princesses saw that she didn't show any abnormalities like this, and gradually couldn't hold their breath, and couldn't help but come over.
Seeing that the wine cups of the two of them were empty, she personally picked up the pot and poured a glass of wine for Princess Gu Nianping.
When it came to Gu Nian's place, the technique was the same as that of the palace people.
Gu Nian's heart was full of anger, this woman was really too pressing, one cup was not counted, and she wanted to have another cup, she probably thought that the medicine was not enough, so she wanted to let herself drink another cup.
Gu Nian smiled and said to Princess Ping, "I don't know if the princess can say it, what did you mean by what you asked me just now?" ”
King Ping's seniority is older than Xiao Yue, and for Princess Ping, she is naturally an honorific title.
Princess Ping waved her hand, "It's nothing, it's just ......"
Gu Nian covered her forehead with her hand at this time, pretending to be dizzy, and when Princess Ping saw this, she hurriedly said with concern, "What's wrong?" ”
Gu Nian shook his head and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I interrupted your words, and I suddenly felt a fire in my stomach and a little dizzy." ”
Princess Ping hurriedly probed her forehead and said, "Do you eat and drink on weekdays?" ”
Gu Nian shook his head, as if he was even more dizzy, and said in a weak voice, "Very little." ”
Princess Ping breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "That's it, maybe you are drunk, although this osmanthus wine tastes good, but the stamina is extremely heavy, I often eat wine, I just ate a glass, and I feel a little unbearable." ”
Gu Nian smiled apologetically and looked at the fourth princess, "I'm afraid this glass of wine can't be drunk anymore, and it's really mine to brush off the princess's kindness." ”
"Why don't I return the crown princess with Chadai wine?" After speaking, she beckoned and asked the palace people behind her to bring a clean tea cup.
When the palace man handed over the teacup, she reached out to take it, but her hand was so weak that she couldn't catch the teacup and fell to the ground.
Princess Ping patted Gu Nian, "It seems that you, are you really drunk, or let me pour you tea, you rest." ”
The fourth princess also covered her lips with her hands and laughed eating, "It seems that Princess Jin really doesn't know how to eat, and she is very drunk after just one drink." ”
"It's done, it's too unsatisfactory for me to let you drink it again, Xiao Jiu won't pick my skin when he arrives."
After speaking, she put down the wine cup and stood up, just at this moment, His Majesty the Emperor laughed, and everyone turned their heads to look, only to see Gu Shi'an and Zhou Yuxuan standing in front of Emperor Yongping.
I don't know what Zhou Yuxuan said, the emperor smiled very happily, and for a while, everyone pricked up their ears and looked at Emperor Yongping on the high platform with full attention, wondering why he was so happy.
Gu Nian was also curious, but she suddenly lowered her eyes, glanced at the fourth princess, and saw that her face was a little distorted, as if she couldn't see the faces of the two people above.
At this moment, Gu Nian's heart beat like thunder, she picked up the wine cup full of wine in front of her, looked around, raised her hand, as if stroking her forehead, but with the wide sleeves of her coat, she quickly changed her wine cup with that of the fourth princess.
After doing it, she supported her forehead, frowned, put down her hand, and heard the emperor above vaguely say that she wanted to marry Zhou Yuxuan......
The holy decree of marriage is a great honor for many people, especially nowadays it is not often given to people to marry, and it is Zhou Yuxuan's supreme glory to take the initiative to mention it.
It's just that before Zhou Yuxuan could say who Emperor Yongping was, he pulled off his robe and knelt down, "Emperor Xie Longen, the minister's body is not worthy of the girl in this world." Please also ask the emperor to retract his order. ”
Zhou Yuxuan's actions caused an uproar in the palace, what he said was not worthy of a girl in this world, not a certain girl, this was basically blocking his future marriage.
Seeing this, Marquis An Yuan hurriedly stumbled and knelt in front of the emperor, "Your Majesty, the dog has recently been infected with a disease, and his brain is a little unclear, so I ask the emperor for forgiveness." ”
Seeing Zhou Yuxuan's resistance, the smile on the corner of her mouth became thick, she picked up the wine cup in front of her, and slowly drank it all.
"Speaking of which, the prince of An Yuan Hou is very affectionate."
Gu Nian saw that the four princesses drank the cup of wine, picked up the tea, took a sip, and returned the four princesses with a smile.
Xu is the emperor is in a good mood today, and maybe it is for other reasons, for Zhou Yuxuan's resistance, after Zhou Yuxuan's refusal, Emperor Yongping's smile froze for a while, but he was not angry, but said with a smile,
"Aiqing doesn't need to be so alarmed, today is a family banquet, I am a big parent, and the son is my junior, not in the way."
Emperor Yongping looked at Gu Shi'an on the side, "Speaking of which, you only have to recreate a child, and now that you have returned to the sect, you should continue the incense, I don't want your vein to be broken in the future." ”
"How many beauties will I give you?"
Gu Shi'an smiled heartily, "The minister can't afford to bear the grace of the beauty, as for the bloodline, what's so difficult about this, there are so many people in the clan, and the minister's incense offering will never be broken." ”
Emperor Yongping was refuted twice in a row, but he was not annoyed, and said, "Who you want to fancy in the future, you must tell me, I still don't believe that I can't be a matchmaker." ”
For a while, the atmosphere that had just been stagnant became lively again, and the fourth princess saw that there was no drama to watch, so she turned around and looked at Gu Nian, "I didn't expect that the men around you are all long-term lovers." ”
Gu Nian swept the four princesses, "Things gather by like, and people are divided by groups." ”
The fourth princess sneered, turned around and went to talk to the person next to her, at first she was still smiling, but gradually, her face began to be a little wrong, her face was flushed, as if she was dizzy, and she supported her forehead with her hand.
Seeing this, the lady of the clan sitting beside her hurriedly leaned over and asked, "Princess, are you unwell?" ”
Gu Nian, who was speaking to Princess Peace, also noticed the strangeness of the four princesses.
The lady beside the fourth princess said with concern, "Do you want the palace people to bring a cup of tea?" ”
The four princesses didn't hear it, but looked at the four princes who were toasting Emperor Yongping, and Zhou Yuxuan, who was left by Emperor Yongping to talk after refusing to marry, she stared at it for a moment, the red clouds on her face became deeper and deeper, her eyes became more and more blurred, and she suddenly let out two sneers.
The lady beside her finally tasted that something was wrong with her, and Princess Ping also felt that it was wrong, she pulled Gu Nian and made a look, "I'm going to the clean room, do you want to go with me?" ”
Gu Nian smiled and shook her head, how could she not be present at such a good moment? She knew that Princess Ping wanted to pull her away from the fourth princess, afraid that she would be injured.
I saw that the fourth princess suddenly laughed, the laughter was weird, it was creepy, she pushed away the lady who was always holding her, and turned her head and rushed to the head of the Yongping Emperor A few people were disgusted, shouting,
"You liars, liars, all affectionate friendships, are deceiving the world, once they are useless, kick them away, say something affectionate, disgusting."
The four princes were saying some auspicious words to please the head, and when they heard the voice of the four princesses, they paused.
Cheng Guifei sat in a position second only to the queen, and when she saw that the fourth princess seemed to be stunned, she hurriedly gave a color to the female official behind her, and when the female official saw this, she hurriedly ran to the side of the fourth princess and held her, "Princess, what's wrong with you?" Wake up. ”
The entire banquet room suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at the four princesses, looking at the four princesses who suddenly looked drunk and crazy, and were shocked.
The fourth princess looked at the female official, her eyes were red, she pushed her away, tears suddenly flowed, and she choked up,
"What bullshit, the bitterness in my heart, who knows? Who knows? ”
Speaking of the back, the voice is poignant.
Seeing this, Cheng Guifei reluctantly said to Emperor Yongping, whose face sank, "Your Majesty, the fourth daughter-in-law should be drunk and rude, and the concubine will send someone to send her off the table." ”
After speaking, he desperately gave the female official a look and asked her to quickly help the four princesses down.
The female official looked weak, but her strength was surprisingly great, and the four princesses couldn't get rid of it, screaming incessantly, and in the struggle, the sleeves of the wide princess's dress rolled up the dishes on the table and swept to the ground together with the wine jug, making a loud sound, which was extremely harsh.
Seeing this, Gu Nian hurriedly pulled Princess Ping and jumped away, and then a figure came over to protect Gu Nian, and it was Xiao Yue who came over from the men's seat.
"Did it hurt you?"
Gu Nian shook his head shyly.
Princess Ping smiled, with a knowing expression.
Because the things on the table fell, the female official was afraid of hurting the four princesses, so her hands relaxed a little, and she was broken free by the four princesses in the madness, only to see her turn around, pinching the female official's neck, while pinching her and shaking hard, while laughing,
"Caidie, you damn it, you damn it, do you think he likes you after climbing the prince's bed a few times?"
"You idiot, stupid idiot who doesn't know how to die, this princess will tell you, the prince thinks about someone else's wife."
"That vixen, that shameless slut, a slut who messed up the generations."
"You poor worm, you were killed by the prince, you deserve it! You know the man......"
"Enough...... The fourth prince's face turned pale, and he quickly rushed to the side of the fourth princess, pinching her mouth with one hand, and holding her with the other, dragging her out.
He took two steps, turned around with a bad face, and said to Emperor Yongping, who had no anger on his face, "Father, she is drunk and talking nonsense in front of her father, please let her son send her out first, and then come to ask her father to plead guilty." ”
The whole hall was dumbfounded, and their mouths were wide open enough to stuff an egg, and when they reacted, they guessed which woman the other person's wife was.
Gu Nian clutched the hem of Xiao Yue's clothes tightly, and her heartbeat made her almost suffocate.
She just exchanged the glass of wine for the four princesses, but she wanted to repay the other in her way, and the four princesses wanted to harm her, so she would let her be ruined.
This time, I just knew the secret of the wine pot by luck, if I didn't know, wouldn't I have fallen for the poisonous plan of the four princesses? The one who goes crazy will be himself.
She didn't expect that the toxicity of the wine would be so terrible, the fourth princess is now like a person without a mind, everything she does is not under her control, only on herself.
She thought that the four princesses said that they had messed up the generations and people, probably talking about herself, at the beginning, she was like a bustard mother in a flower building, and went to the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion to propose marriage, which made Gu Nian feel disgusting when she thought about it now.
If a person really likes his husband, how can he be willing to be close to other people.
Emperor Yongping looked at the four princes and said lightly, "Let go of her, I don't know that she has so many grievances, let her say." I'd love to hear about it. ”
What else did the four princes want to say, but Cheng Guifei knelt down, "Your Majesty, it's all the concubines who didn't teach the princess well, please punish the concubines." ”
Emperor Yongping looked at her amusedly, but the words he said were extremely cold, "What qualifications do you have to teach the imperial concubine?" It's none of your business, and it's not about the Queen. ”
"Let go of the ......" Emperor Yongping said calmly, but the majesty in it made the four princes soften their hands and kneel.
The four princesses still didn't know it, once they were free, they sneered, looked at the four princes, and burst into tears, "What did you say when you married me?" ”
"You want to be with me for the rest of your life, but how do you do it? How do you do that? The left one, the right one, it's ridiculous that the people in the capital still think that you are an affectionate prince. ”
"You said, I can't give birth, is it your hands and feet......
"Who knows the bitterness of my heart? Why are you doing this to me?
The four princesses had red eyes, crying and laughing, like crazy, hugging a pillar in the main hall, their foreheads kept hitting the pillar, and in a blink of an eye, they were bleeding all over their faces, where was there still half a point of grace before.
Probably hit hard, and suddenly her hand loosened the pillar, and the person slid down the pillar.
Only the sound of whispering remained in the hall.
After the four princesses fainted, they were finally taken down, because the emperor was present in the palace, there was no chaos for the time being, the banquet was not eaten, and everyone also recovered from the horror of Fang Cai, knowing that today's events were ugly, which was simply appalling.
However, he didn't dare to show it on his face, and left one after another as if nothing had happened.
The emperor looked at the four princes and Cheng Guifei gloomily, and stood up, "Disperse, go back and find a doctor for your daughter-in-law." ”
The fourth prince felt ashamed and angry, since he was a child, he had never been treated by his father like this, he hated to strangle the four princesses, but the emperor spoke, let him be healed well.
Xiao Yue also took Gu Nian out of the main hall, and met Gu Shi'an and the eldest princess of the protector at the gate of the palace, Zhou Yuxuan and An Yuanhou waiting in the distance.
Until she saw her father and grandmother, even if Xiao Yue was on the side, Gu Nian still felt afraid, if she hadn't been prepared, she would have made a fool of herself today, she couldn't imagine what would happen when the time came.
She shuddered.
Xiao Yue thought she was cold, so he wrapped her in a big coat, hugged her tighter and tighter, and said in her ear, "It's not cold when you get to the carriage, bear with it again." ”
Gu Nian shook his head, and when he saw the eldest princess and Gu Shi'an, he hurriedly went up and said aggrievedly, "Daddy, grandmother." ”
The eldest princess of the protector held Gu Nian's hand, "Don't be afraid, it's nothing, the four princesses didn't say who it was, although the four princes did bad things at the beginning, but fortunately it didn't spread out." ”
After speaking, she looked at Xiao Yue, "You can't see Niannian clearly because of this." ”
Xiao Yue hugged Gu Nian and said, "Grandmother don't worry, grandson-in-law understands, the blame is only on those who hurt Niannian." ”
The old lady and Concubine Ji also came out of the palace at this time.
Concubine Ji glanced at Gu Nian coldly, probably thinking of the presence of Gu Shi'an and the eldest princess of the protectorate, she quickly withdrew her gaze.
The two families exchanged pleasantries for a while, and in the night, the cold wind blew, and Gu Nian looked at Gu Shi'an and the eldest princess of the country reluctantly, but she couldn't talk to the two of them properly.
Xiao Yue was escorted outside on horseback, Gu Nian and the old lady took a carriage, Concubine Ji went to the carriage behind, Gu Nian sat in the carriage, and didn't dare to say anything, for a long time, the old lady said,
"You just got so close, didn't you get hurt?"
Gu Nian raised her head flatteredly and said shyly, "Grandmother Xie cares, but no." ”
The old lady said thoughtfully, "You sit close, how much did the four princesses drink today, why are you so drunk?" How much gibberish you talk about? ”
Gu Nian pursed her lips, "Daughter-in-law Sun doesn't know, Princess Dai doesn't seem to have drunk much." ”
She was also very tired, but she still bred up to deal with the old lady's inquiring eyes.
Xiao Yue was by her side the whole time just now, his face didn't look good, he should be a little angry.
Although the fourth princess didn't say who that person was, Xiao Yue knew.
From the very beginning, he knew the intentions of the four princes to Du, although this was still a secret to outsiders, but paper could not contain the fire after all.
However, she did not regret exchanging that glass of wine for the four princesses, she was tired of the repeated provocations of the four princesses, and she was tired of the prying eyes of the four princes.
Although I almost got myself involved, it was good to be able to make them husband and wife troubled.
She lifted the curtain slightly, glanced at Xiao Yue outside, he was riding on a horse, looking ahead, as if sensing her gaze, turned his head, and showed a smile to her.
When the group arrived at the palace, the carriage stopped at the door in turn, and the maid in the carriage came down, hugged and stepped on the side of the carriage, the old lady was helped off the carriage first, and then Gu Nian, Astragalus came up to help her down, Xiao Yue got off the horse and reached out to support her arm.
Concubine Ji in the back also got out of the carriage, Xiao Yue and Gu Nian wanted to send the old lady back to Rong'an Hall, the old lady didn't have to send it, and said, "Ji, you come with me, I have two words to say to you." ”
Concubine Ji responded, turned to Gu Nian and said, "You two go back to the room first, rest early, and tomorrow Yue'er will come to my room for a while." ”
After speaking, he helped Concubine Ji away.
Concubine Ji's tone was very good and gentle, and she couldn't tell at all that she had been so disgusted with the couple.
When she arrived at Rong'an Hall, the old lady asked the waiting servants to retreat, and except for an old lady who served the old lady in the house, it was Concubine Ji.
"Mother, what do you have to say?" Concubine Ji took the tea and handed it over.
The old lady saw that she would, and Fang took it, but she didn't eat it, but put it on the table, and said,
"Say, what have you been tossing all these years? At the beginning, I can understand that you lost your husband and didn't have the energy to take care of Yue'er, so I didn't say anything, but now that Yue'er has been beaten, you still don't get close to him. Is he still your child? ”
Concubine Ji pursed her lips and did not speak. It took a long time before he spoke.
