Guo Guiren's affairs gradually faded away, and everyone lived in the Old Summer Palace without incident, until the autumn came, on the eve of Luan's preparation to return to the palace, the mixed footsteps broke the silence of dawn.

At that time, the emperor was also in Yingyun's dormitory, and after the two of them had just gotten up to wash, Li Yu hurriedly came in, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, Guo Guiren is dead." ”

Ying Yun stared at her eyes in surprise and asked, "When is it?" ”

Li Yu replied: "Last night, after Guo Guiren fell asleep, he sent everyone out, and this morning, the palace maid went in to serve, but found that Guo Guiren had taken poison. ”

Ying Yun glanced at the emperor and said, "It is a big crime for the concubine to commit suicide, why can't Guo Guiren think about it like this?" ”

Li Yu presented a piece of plain paper with both hands and said, "Your Majesty, this was found at the bedside of Guo Guiren." ”

Ying Yun leaned next to the emperor and looked at it, what was written was palindrome, she couldn't understand it, so she had to ask the emperor: "Guo Guiren, what did she write?" ”

The emperor said: "This is a suicide note written by her, saying that since she left her hometown, she has not been able to integrate into the life in the palace, and she is exhausted and does not want to endure any longer." ”

Ying Yun muttered: "In this way, she really killed herself." ”

The emperor was silent, put Guo Guiren's suicide note close to the candlestick that had missed the night, and set it on fire.

"Your Majesty?" Ying Yun looked at him suspiciously.

The emperor said in a deep voice: "Guo Guiren's suicide is not conducive to encircling the Hui people, and I can only treat her as if she was sick and died." ”

Ying Yun sighed in her heart that the people who entered the harem were no longer alone, and the interests, family, and even a nation behind her back were inextricably linked. bar

Once Xiang Xiaoyu died, it was necessary to preserve the dignity of the royal family and weigh the pros and cons.

Therefore, Guo Guiren must be buried thickly.

Sure enough, the emperor pondered for a moment, and said to Li Yu: "Decree, when Guo Guiren was driving the Old Summer Palace, he suddenly fell ill and died in the garden. ”

"Huh."

The news of Guo Guiren's death did not cause much ripples, and everything seemed to be logical. The emperor also gave the Hui Department enough face, sent Guo Guiren's relics to the Hui Department, and also built a clothed mound for worship.

Instead, he chatted with the nobles, and even chatted with Yingyun, sighed, and said: "Guo Gui had a secret grudge with Emperor Chunhui and Concubine Chunhui before his death, but now that he is gone, he still has to face Emperor Chunhui and Concubine Chunhui day and night." ”

Anai also said: "It's not, the concubine followed the Chunhui Emperor and Concubine before, and she didn't enjoy any blessings, and now she is going like this, it's pitiful to think about." ”

He Guiren sighed: "When the three of us entered the palace together, if she could also follow the queen mother, maybe not so many things would have happened." ”

Yingyun said: "Everyone has their own life, and no one knows what the future holds." ”

He nodded slightly, and said: "What Niangniang said is that the concubine is just glad to meet Niangniang, treat the concubine as a relative, be generous everywhere, and the concubine is grateful to Niangniang from the bottom of her heart." ”

Ying Yun was embarrassed by her, smiled, and said, "If you say something grateful or not, it's a shame." ”

He Guiren smiled shyly and said: "Not only concubines, but also Concubine Yu and Yi Guiren have said in private, we are from a foreign country, if it weren't for the care of the queen, I don't know what to be bullied into." ”

Ying Yun smiled and said: "As long as you are united, no one will dare to bully you." ”
