Chapter 107: Enlightenment
Helian Hongyi's answer was not much different from what Gu Banqin imagined, in short, it was just a sentence, Gu Fengmao wanted to use the same way he used to deal with the Zhao monarch to deal with Helian Hongyi, which obviously didn't work.
Helian Hongyi looked at Gu Banqin with his hand, and asked: "Gu Xiang's move is also out of my expectations, the reform of the Lishi clan system has been launched recently, and Gu Xiang should have been able to feel the turmoil of the Shi clan, so he panicked, panicked, and began to rush to the doctor." ”
Gu Banqin understood what Helian Hongyi meant, and Gu Fengmao hoped that Gu Nianshu could consolidate his position in the palace because of the turmoil and panic of the Shi clan.
That's why he made such a ruthless move, and he wanted to remove Gu Banqin's thorn in the eye from the harem, thinking that as long as Gu Banqin left, then Helian Hongyi's harem would be Gu Nianshu's world.
Speaking of this, Gu Banqin had to say, Gu Fengmao and his wife are really too sweet, what kind of fairy character is their daughter, who doesn't eat the fireworks of the world, but her mind is full of concubines, where can she please Helian Hongyi.
If Gu Banqin was willing to be cannon fodder honestly, she wouldn't take a second look at Gu Banqin, but now, Gu Banqin is getting mixed in the harem, Gu Nianshu is afraid, she is afraid that one day she will be trampled under Gu Banqin's feet, but she doesn't want to do it herself, so she let Gu Fengmao do it.
It's as if she was disgusted with Helian Hongyi and unwilling to commit to him, and then turned her face and went back to cry to the Wang family, and asked the Wang family to stand up for her, which led to the incident when Gu Banqin entered the palace later.
It's a pity that Gu Fengmao and the Wang family are obsessed, and they are obscured by Gu Nianshu's aura and the appearance of the scholars' descendants, ignoring the fact that it is now the world of Helian family, and the posture of fooling the monarch in the past to fool Helian Hongyi.
Gu Banqin believes that if the former Zhao family and Gu Fengmao wrote such an excerpt as the prime minister, then the person who was sued by him would definitely die, but fortunately, the world changed his surname, and Gu Banqin could be regarded as picking up a life from Helian Hongyi's hands.
Helian Hongyi watched Gu Banqin leave with her head down, her heartstrings moved inexplicably, she only felt that her back was lonely and pitiful, even if her heart was like iron, the taste of being abandoned by her father must be uncomfortable.
Summoning Wang Shun, Helian Hongyi put the fold that he had shown Gu Banqin back into the column that had been approved, and asked Wang Shun:
"How is Gu Jieyu doing in the harem recently?"
Wang Shun raised his eyes and looked at Helian Hongyi, and replied: "Back to the emperor, Gu Jieyu should be very good in the harem, the queen mother specially exempted Gu Jieyu from asking for peace every day." ”
After Helian Hongyi heard Wang Shun's words, he snorted coldly, Wang Shun was so frightened that his whole body was tense, his scalp was numb, and he only heard Helian Hongyi say again:
"Go check it out. The queen mother's temperament is not like the type that would exempt Gu Jieyu from asking for peace for no reason. ”
Since the Queen Mother Fang became the Queen Mother, she can't wait for everyone in the world to go to her every day to say goodbye, listen to her words, and listen to her reprimand.
When the first emperor was in power, she also asked the first emperor to issue an edict to let Helian Hongyi also go to her mother-in-law every day to say goodbye, but the first emperor refused on the grounds that 'the prince is busy with state affairs'.
Wang Shun didn't dare to speak, so he only bowed out.
In the past month or so, there have been too many people in and out of the Taihe Palace, and he has paid a lot less attention to the harem, thinking that nothing unusual has happened, so he has not listened.
The Queen Mother exempted Gu Jieyu from asking for peace, which seemed to be a little wrong.
Decisively asked people to inquire, and the result of the inquiry made Wang Shun's jaw fall to the ground in surprise.
There was a layer of cold sweat behind his back instantly, and he trembled and went to Helian Hongyi to reply, and before he could speak, he hurriedly knelt down.
"Emperor Qiqi, it was the minions who were negligent. The Queen Mother exempted Gu Jieyu's invitation and conveyed Gu Jieyu's instructions to the harem ministries, Fanghua Palace has been suffering a lot since these days, Gu Jieyu never mentioned this matter, the slave thought that the harem was too peaceful, and did not notice it in time, the slave should die, the slave should die. ”
Wang Shun's words of pleading made Helian Hongyi raise his head and exhale, and asked in a deep voice, "How has Gu Jieyu spent the last month?" Ministries are isolated? Is the Imperial Dining Room included? ”
"Yes, it should be included. The incident may have happened when Gu Jieyu wrote an excerpt to the emperor to set up a small kitchen in Fanghua Palace, but Gu Jieyu didn't say a word about having a bad time. I heard that the vegetables and fruits that Gu Jieyu planted in Fanghua Palace came in handy, which is considered ...... Be self-sufficient. ”
After Wang Shun said this, he was almost ashamed to go underground.
This Gu Jieyu has suffered such a big grievance in the harem, and she has been suffering for more than a month, but she is still smiling today, and she doesn't know how to sell herself in front of the emperor, even if she doesn't want to offend the queen mother, she can let the emperor know that she knows her situation, but she doesn't say a word.
Sometimes, Wang Shun really can't understand this Gu Jieyu's thoughts.
"Ouch, as long as the slave thinks about what kind of life Gu Jieyu has lived in the past month or so, the slave's heart is like pinching up, no wonder the slave feels that Gu Jieyu has lost a lot, Gu Jieyu herself has suffered and been wronged, but she doesn't mention a word to the emperor, she doesn't want the emperor to be embarrassed, after all, she can't say it directly, this is the queen mother behind her back......"
The next words, Wang Shun didn't continue, a lot of words, he could only point to the end, just point out that the person behind the scenes is the queen mother, and no matter how bad things you do, you can't say any extra bad things.
In fact, these words may not be said by him, but he neglected to observe Gu Jieyu's affairs first, so the emperor blamed him even more, and Wang Shun could only push the queen mother out first, just to transfer the emperor's dissatisfaction with him a little.
"Hmph, she's got what she can do."
Helian Hongyi snorted coldly and said such a sentence, Wang Shun was suddenly unsure, whether the emperor's words were aimed at Gu Jieyu or the Queen Mother.
I can only bite the bullet and continue:
"Gu Jieyu definitely doesn't want to let the emperor and the queen mother face each other because of her own affairs, this is because she doesn't want the emperor to be embarrassed."
Helian Hongyi didn't react much to Wang Shun's afterthoughts, raised his hand, and waved at Wang Shun meaninglessly, which meant to let Wang Shun retreat.
When Wang Shun retired, he couldn't help but glance at Helian Hongyi several times, he didn't understand a little, what did the emperor mean by this, did he say something wrong?
Wu Zi reflected in his heart, but Wang Shun couldn't figure out what he was wrong?
The emperor's heart must be biased towards Gu Jieyu, so he took the risk and quickly shifted the target to the queen mother, and showed sympathy and guilt for Gu Jieyu's experience in a timely manner.
Where did Wang Shun know that his words did not speak in Helian Hongyi's heart.
Because, Helian Hongyi would not think that Gu Banqin was afraid of being embarrassed, so she didn't come to him to denounce what the Queen Mother did, she didn't take the Queen Mother's punishment in her eyes at all!
The queen mother's clown-like methods, in Gu Banqin's eyes, may not be a means at all, lack of food and clothing cannot cause her panic, on the contrary, she has thought that she will have that day when she entered the palace from the beginning.
At this moment, Helian Hongyi's heart is complicated.
suddenly felt a little sympathy for Gu Banqin, this is not to say that he is in love with Gu Banqin, but he feels that she is not as heartless as she appears on the surface.
She was very thoughtful, everything was prepared for the worst first, and she entered the palace not with the intention of competing for favor with other women, but for the most basic survival.
Yes, Gu Banqin entered the palace not to compete for favor, but to survive.
Inexplicable sentimentality, inexplicable distress. Helian Hongyi's gaze fell on the letter written by Gu Fengmao again, and he felt more and more that Gu Banqin's situation was difficult.
When Gu Banqin returned to the palace, Zhang Yuzhu and Jia Jinlu hurriedly surrounded him, and Jia Jinlu unabashedly asked Gu Banqin about Helian Hongyi's reaction and attitude, when Gu Banqin said:
"I didn't say anything, I just ate two slices of watermelon with the emperor, I tell you, the watermelon tastes really good......"
