The Queen Mother walked up to Gu Muqi, who was kneeling on the ground, stretched out her hand, and asked Gu Muqi to stand up with her hand. Gu Muqi was also frightened enough by the Queen Mother's sudden concern. After this Zhao Guifei left, the Queen Mother's attitude towards herself was simply a 180-degree turn.

She lowered her head, her voice was weak and a little trembling, and said, "The concubine thanked the Queen Mother." ”

The Empress Dowager took Gu Muqi's hand and walked towards the hall with her, patting her hand while saying, "You and I don't have to be so restrained in the future, the mourning family was too strict with you before, and what you have done recently has made the mourning family appreciate you very much, so you can relax with me in the future." ”

Gu Muqi touched her head, embarrassed and embarrassed and the second monk smirked as if she was confused, she hasn't done anything particularly amazing recently? What does the Queen Mother mean by this?

Zun Motian followed behind the two of them, and he was also surprised to see how well his mother and Gu Muqi got along so well. Because almost every time he went to visit the Queen Mother alone, he would hear the Queen Mother's mouth, admonishing himself to love Gu Muqi less and not to be partial. There are many concubines in this palace, so you have to let yourself be wet with rain and dew.

He thought that the Queen Mother didn't like Gu Muqi very much, but the scene in front of him today really made him feel that the door to a new world had been opened.

The Queen Mother took Gu Muqi's hand and walked all the way to the door of the main hall of Yongbao Pavilion, Cai Ni and Man'er knelt on the side of the door, bowed their heads, and waited for the arrival of the Queen Mother.

She pointed to the big box placed next to the door, and asked Gu Muqi with a puzzled expression, "Is the concubine packing up her old clothes?" How do you put such a big box at the door? ”

Gu Muqi said cautiously, "If you go back to the Queen Mother, this box is not the old clothes that have been sorted out, these are all prepared by me when I leave the palace." ”

"Out of the palace?" The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows, and asked in a high voice, she looked at Zun Motian again, and asked, "Emperor, are you going to travel?" ”

Zun Motian stepped forward and stood next to Gu Muqi, he looked at the box, then at the Queen Mother, and hesitated to tell the Queen Mother the truth.

He thought for a few seconds, and then said to the Queen Mother, "My son is going to take the concubine to the Xuanwang Mansion today, and the last time the concubine returned to the mansion and made such a big fuss, the son wanted to let the concubine stay in the Xuanwang Mansion for a few more days." In addition, since the accident of Princess Naxuan, there has always been a slight dislike between Princess Naxuan and the concubine. The son thought, it is better to take this opportunity to let the two sisters explain this matter clearly, and I will also go to see how Jun'er is doing recently. ”

After listening to this, the Queen Mother nodded, and she said to Zun Motian, "The emperor still thinks more carefully than we think, and it is also necessary to let the noble concubine Niangniang and Princess Xuan have a good relationship." ”

She looked at Gu Muqi, smiled, and said, "I wonder if you and I can take a step to talk?" ”

Gu Muqi nodded in a panic and said, "Queen Mother, what are you talking about, you want to talk to me, isn't this at any time?" After speaking, she took the hand of the Queen Mother, personally opened the door of the main hall of Yongbao Pavilion, helped her in, and sat on the chair.

She was just about to call Caini and Man'er to make tea, but she was stopped by the Queen Mother, and she said to Gu Muqi, "Since you are going to Xuanwang's Mansion, then I won't delay here." But since I'm here today, I still have to say a few words to you. ”

Gu Muqi knelt at the feet of the Queen Mother, quietly waiting for the Queen Mother to open her mouth, her clenched palms were full of cold sweat.

The Queen Mother seemed to see Gu Muqi's nervousness, she stood up with her hand, walked to Gu Muqi, helped her up from the ground, and took her to sit on the collapse of the house, and sat together in this row.

She smiled and said to Gu Muqi, "Mu Guifei doesn't have to be so nervous and formal, it must be that I have made you uncomfortable with everything I did to you before, and I feel that I am an unsatisfactory and unreasonable old woman." ”

Gu Muqi shook his head again and again, and said straight in his mouth, "No, no." ”

The Queen Mother didn't care about Gu Muqi's denial, she knew that her attitude towards Gu Muqi had not been very good before. Because she has always felt that Gu Muqi is just a soft and weak woman, who seems to only be coquettish with Zun Mojun and use her young body and beauty to entangle Zun Motian.

But this time, she was able to be so calm, endure the humiliation and find out the matter clearly, and brought down Zhao Guifei. It really made the Queen Mother's eyes shine and gave her a new view of Gu Muqi. Thinking back to all the things Gu Muqi had done before, I felt that this woman had a more delicate mind than herself.

She said to Gu Muqi, "I am very satisfied that you were able to bring down Zhao Guifei this time." ”

Gu Muqi listened to what the Queen Mother said and felt very puzzled. She? Down with Zhao Guifei? She just heard that when she was in the early court that day, Zhao Guifei was taken away by Prince Xuan, and she didn't know what Zhao Guifei's whereabouts were now. But in front of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother has already said so, and she can't show her cowardice.

She could only deal with the Queen Mother, put on a tough posture and said, "Queen Mother, if it wasn't for Zhao Guifei to attack my family first, then I can really live peacefully with Zhao Guifei forever." Zhao Guifei is older than me in terms of age and seniority, although both of us are noble concubines, but I am still more polite to her on weekdays. ”

The Queen Mother listened and nodded with satisfaction. Since she was optimistic about Gu Muqi, she didn't know why when she saw it today, the more she looked at Gu Muqi, the more pleasing she felt to the eye, and when Gu Muqi said it, she also felt that it was extraordinarily pleasant.

She held Gu Muqi's hand and said, "I don't know if you know, that Zhao Guifei has already returned to the West." ”

"Returned to the West?" Gu Muqi said in surprise, she really didn't know what Zhao Guifei's whereabouts were, she looked at the Queen Mother and said, "The Queen Mother shouldn't be too sad." ”

The Queen Mother waved her hand and said, "What do I have to be sad about, it's just the death of a sinner." ”

After hearing this, Gu Muqi vaguely felt very uncomfortable in his heart, how much this queen mother spoiled Zhao Guifei on weekdays, she also saw it in her eyes. But now, Zhao Guifei has fallen into Pingyang, and the Queen Mother is like everyone else, treating Zhao Guifei like a stranger, without the slightest emotion.

In this harem, it really depends on power and usefulness.
