Chapter 745: Don't You Know Best?
The man's voice was frivolous, and Concubine Shu patted him with some dissatisfaction, and said angrily: "Can you be a little positive?" β
Hearing this, Gu Mingjue smiled wickedly, hugged Concubine Shu and kissed it, and said in a soft voice: "Don't you rest assured, for so many years, don't you know who Erchen really cares about." β
This is also true, whether it is Gu Mingjue's side concubine or the boiling outer room that was rumored before, it seems that Gu Mingjue has never taken people to heart.
The only one who seems to have put some thought into it is Qin Huaiyu, who has already become his brother's woman.
However, it is precisely because of this that Concubine Shu feels a little uncomfortable in her heart.
If you don't care about anyone, is it because those people don't deserve it, or does this person have no heart at all?
Thinking of this, Concubine Shu sighed again and said, "That's it, this palace shouldn't ask these questions, after all, between you and me, it hasn't come to this point." I was just...... It's just that I feel a little uncomfortable. β
She and Gu Mingjue will never have results.
Don't look at Gu Mingjue's coaxing of her, but Concubine Shu herself knows that she is not only the emperor's concubine, but also gave birth to an heir for him, and the difference between her and Gu Mingjue is more than 20 years old.
Fresh and beautiful little girls emerge in endlessly, and she already has to be carefully maintained every day and can't stop the traces of time, and now she is still useful, Gu Mingjue is like this to her. But what if one day she has no freshness?
Seeing Concubine Shu's appearance, Gu Mingjue was a little impatient in his heart, but his face was extremely gentle and subtle: "Don't you think about it again, do you want me to dig out my heart and show you, who is it in it?"
Concubine Shu's small calligraphy and paintings, except for Gu Mingjue and the emperor, only family members know.
This voice was extraordinarily tender and sweet, which made Concubine Shu's expression soften.
Gu Mingjue was complacent in his heart, while holding the person in his arms, he squinted and smiled: "I still have to think about it, it seems that you are not tired enough." β
Feeling Gu Mingjue's undisguised reaction, Concubine Shu's face turned red, and she softened and said, "You are bold, it's almost dawn now, don't you plan to leave?"
For her almost provocative words, Gu Mingjue laughed directly and pulled the curtain down again: "This palace has always been timid, but if you can die under the peony flower, why not be bold?"
......
At night, Qin Huaiyu had some bad premonitions.
And by the time I woke up in the morning, those hunches came true.
The sound of talking outside the door woke Qin Huaiyu up, and she touched it to the side in a half-dream, and the afterglow was there again, but the person was not there.
Qin Huaiyu woke up instantly, sat up from the bed, and heard Gu Mingyuan's voice outside the door: "What's the matter, what this king said doesn't work?"
Even the inner attendant said with a somewhat embarrassed voice: "Lord, this matter is not for slaves to be in charge, so don't embarrass slaves." Now that Jieyu has a miscarriage, the emperor is furious, if the slave can't take the princess back to restore his life, I'm afraid this head will have to move with him!"
Listening to the conversation outside, Qin Huaiyu was stunned for a moment, that Qin Hongmiao's child was not saved?
In fact, when she probed the other party's pulse last night, she felt that the child was afraid that he was a blessing. But now that she really heard the news, she couldn't help but be a little confused.
Because of the fateless child in her previous life, Qin Huaiyu was kind to the unborn child, and on the first day of the Lunar New Year today, she suddenly heard the news, which also made her sigh slightly.
It's true that I hate Qin Hongmiao, but ...... It's true that I feel a little sorry for that child when I hear the news.
Thinking so in her heart, she quickly put on her clothes, got up and walked out: "Lord Wang." β
Seeing Qin Huaiyu come out, Gu Mingyuan came over, took the cloak for her and put it on very familiarly, and asked, "Why don't you sleep for a while?"
Qin Huaiyu shook his head, and when he saw that the inner eunuch had come to salute him like a savior, he waved his hand and asked, "What's wrong?"
The inner eunuch wanted to speak, but Gu Mingyuan glanced at the other party, and he was so frightened that he was about to silence immediately.
Seeing this, Qin Huaiyu couldn't help laughing, sighed and said, "I just heard it, that Qin Hongmiao...... Jieyu's baby is gone?"
She heard it all, and Gu Mingyuan didn't have to hide it, so he nodded and said, "My father is sad and angry now, saying that he wants to let this king pass, can you wait for me to come back in the palace?"
As soon as these words came out, the inner eunuch's face turned red. The prince doesn't refer to the deer as a horse like this!
The emperor was angry, but he said by name that he wanted to let Qin Huaiyu pass, not King Huai'an.
Now that the king of Huai'an is protecting the princess, he has to go by himself, isn't this to add fuel to the fire.
When the emperor saw it, he was afraid that he would be even more angry.
I have to say that Qin Huaiyu's skills in observing words and expressions are perfect, no matter what the little eunuch said, just looking at his expression at this time, he already understood most of it, and shook his head with a smile and said: "The prince said the opposite, I guess, it was my father who wanted to call me to go over to Xingshi to ask for the guilt, you want to take the blame for me?"
Hearing this, Gu Mingyuan smiled helplessly, the princess is too smart, and it is not a good thing.
Qin Huaiyu smiled and said, "The concubine will go with you, what's the matter with embarrassment? Besides, it should be a disaster, and you can't escape." β
Hearing her words, Gu Mingyuan groaned for a while, and then nodded in agreement, but when he saw Qin Huaiyu go out, he dragged the person back first, not only let her wear a hood, but also let her hold the hand stove, which was tightly wrapped, and then said, "Let's go." β
It was snowing, and the cold outside was soaking into the bone marrow.
But because of Gu Mingyuan's operation, Qin Huaiyu not only felt not cold, but also a little hot with the pace of walking.
......
The emperor had already returned to the Qianqing Palace after waking up in the morning, and because of the miscarriage child, he felt very depressed on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Although he stayed in Jieyu Palace last night, he was actually only in the main hall, and the imperial doctor and Qin Hongmiao were in the side hall.
He fell asleep until almost dawn, and was not long before he was cautiously woken up by the inner chamberlain, saying that the child had not been saved.
He had a vague premonition about this since last night, but when he really knew about it, he couldn't help but be angry.
The palace that had a miscarriage was very unlucky, and the emperor naturally couldn't stay. After instructing Haosheng to serve Qin Hongmiao and bringing people back to the Qianqing Palace, the emperor's anger could not be suppressed.
Who knew that the little eunuchs had been sent out for half an hour, and Qin Huaiyu had not been invited over, which made the emperor's gloomy expression a little heavier.
"Urge me again, I want to see how big this Huai'an princess is, I have to let me urge three times and ask for four times!"
Before the emperor finished speaking, he saw the inner chamberlain approaching quickly from outside the palace, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the king of Huai'an and the princess are asking to see you outside the palace." β
"Let them in!"
When he asked people to call someone earlier, the emperor knew that Gu Mingyuan would inevitably follow. However, after really seeing it, he felt a little more depressed in his heart.
It was a good thing for him to think at that time, but now it seems that Gu Mingyuan's concern for Qin Huaiyu is clearly terrifying.
Is such a woman really a good thing for Gu Mingyuan?
Without waiting for the emperor to figure it out, he saw Gu Mingyuan striding in first, followed by Qin Huaiyu, and the husband and wife saluted together: "See my father." β
The emperor felt a little big when he saw Qin Huaiyu now, and when he saw it at this time, he snorted, and did not tell the two of them to get up, but only said in a deep voice: "Qin Huaiyu, are you guilty?"
When he came up, he wanted to ask the master for the crime, Qin Huaiyu didn't know, but at this time she couldn't admit it, so she just lowered her head and said: "The minister-in-law is stupid, and I ask my father to make it clear." β
"Explicitly?"
The emperor suddenly stood up and said coldly: "I said last night that if the child in Jieyu's womb has any three lengths and two shortcomings, then I will let you be buried with you!
She already knew about this before she came, so her expression was very calm now, but because she hung her head, the emperor couldn't see her expression clearly at this time.
"Father's Day mourns, take care of the dragon's body. β
Seeing that Qin Huaiyu was still sloppy with himself, the emperor felt more and more breathless, glanced at her coldly, and said, "Don't worry, I will take care of myself." Not only will I take care of myself, but I will also let you be the companion of my unborn child. Someoneβ"
Before the emperor finished speaking, he saw that Gu Mingyuan had already gotten up, and he stood in front of Qin Huaiyu, and asked, "I don't know what my father wants to do?"
The emperor was extremely angry about Gu Mingyuan's brainless protection, but in the end it was his own son, so the emperor just said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I think she is a princess, so I won't really kill her." But the death penalty can be avoided for the living crime, and a hundred lashes should be punished for her, isn't it too much?"
Don't say it's a hundred lashes, but for a delicate woman, fifty lashes go down, and I'm afraid I don't know if there is still life.
The emperor said so lightly, but Gu Mingyuan's anger was also aroused, he raised his hand to protect Qin Huaiyu beside him, and said lightly: "Erchen knows what his father is angry about, since you insist on avenging the unborn imperial brother, it is better to do this, one life is worth one life, what do you think?"
As soon as these words came out, the imperial brother was stunned for a moment, and pointed at him angrily: "What did you say?"
Regarding the emperor's anger, Gu Mingyuan was stunned, and repeated his words: "Erchen said, take Erchen's life to give the emperor's brother's life, this deal is very cost-effective, what do you think?"
The emperor knew that he protected his daughter-in-law, but he never thought that he would protect him like this!
He was so angry that his fingers trembled a little, and he scolded, "Do you know what you're talking about?"
Gu Mingyuan naturally knew that he not only knew, but also clearly understood the consequences of these words. So when the emperor asked himself, he nodded and said, "The son and the princess are one husband and wife, advancing and retreating together." β
A hundred lashes clearly said that it was a punishment, but in fact, it was to ask for Qin Huaiyu's life in disguise. Gu Mingyuan couldn't do anything rebellious to the emperor because of this, but he could accompany Qin Huaiyu.
If it is a last resort, it is a kind of consummation for husband and wife to live and die together.
Seeing Gu Mingyuan's resolute attitude, the emperor was both angry and helpless, and finally could only stare at him and ask, "Gu Mingyuan, I will ask you again one last time, are you so partial to this woman?"
Hearing this, Gu Mingyuan nodded very firmly: "Yes." β
Just this one word made the emperor speechless.
He wanted to scold the other party, but when he saw this face that looked like the former queen, he couldn't scold it.
In particular, Gu Mingyuan's current appearance of firmly protecting his wife inexplicably reminded the emperor that the former empress also protected himself like this.
Sure enough, there is a mother and a son, and they are all infatuated in the same vein.
Thinking of this, the emperor sighed, and the previous anger suddenly dissipated a lot like a deflated ball.
He pinched his eyebrows, a little tired, and asked, "I ask you, do you really regret it?"
Regarding the emperor's words, Gu Mingyuan's answer was still firm.
The affirmative answer made the emperor take a deep breath, and then said: "Okay, then don't blame me for being polite, since you want to be husband and wife, then I will punish you together!"
Now those testimonies are all pointing to Qin Huaiyu, and many people have heard them. Although the emperor favored Gu Mingyuan, but now he has lost a child because of it, if the emperor does not seek justice for him, it will be too chilling.
The emperor made a decision to make a small punishment and a big commandment, but he saw Gu Mingyuan suddenly take a step forward and said respectfully: "Father, there are some things that the son wants to tell you alone." β
His words made the emperor pause for the punishment that he didn't say, and looked at the serious look of the man in front of him, and asked for a while, "What words?"
In response to his questioning, Gu Mingyuan just made a gesture and asked him to clear the scene.
Even if he was still angry, the emperor could still listen to Gu Mingyuan's words.
He raised his hand to let the inner chamberlains out, leaving only the three of them there, and then asked, "Tell me, what kind of moth do you come up with?" β
"Erchen doesn't dare, father, there is indeed someone who is making a moth, but that person is not Erchen. β
When he said this, he took out a small box from his sleeve, frowned, and said, "This thing, Erchen didn't want to show you, after all, it's too unlucky." But the matter is very serious, and Erchen feels that it will be even more inappropriate if he does not report it to you. You...... Are you sure you want to see it?"
When he heard Gu Mingyuan's words, the emperor had a bad premonition, he didn't open it directly, just pointed to the box and asked, "What's inside?"
Gu Mingyuan didn't hide it, and said in a deep voice: "Back to my father, what is contained in it is an animal corpse. Do you want to take a look?"
He said so bluntly, the emperor wanted to see it even more, he took the small box, raised his hand to open it, and saw a little mouse lying inside.
The little mouse had obviously been dead for a long time, his body was stiff, and his beard was still stained with blood, and he died a miserable death.
