Chapter 69: The Deep Palace
Now that these words have been spoken, Gu San will understand. In the final analysis, Kang Guiren didn't want to ask her to help investigate the case, what the truth was, she already had a measure in her heart, but she lacked someone - a person who would never be timid because of her status as a concubine.
Outside is not the place to talk, a few people stepped into the room and sat down at the table, Bixi poured tea for the two of them, exchanged glances with Xiao Chengzi, and then withdrew, leaving only Gu Sanyi and Kang to agree to talk.
"I have been thinking about this matter since Zhenruo's accident, and when someone came to say that the matter was investigated, Bixi felt that there was something tricky, and I pressed her to tell her not to startle the snake. Originally, I thought that I would wait for me to find all the evidence and then confront the emperor one by one, but unfortunately, ...... Concubine Shu took a son first and did not give me this opportunity. ”
Kang agreed's gaze looked beyond the palace wall, and the direction he was looking at was the Chuxiu Palace where Concubine Shu lived.
"But if she hadn't harmed me, there would have been some strange things about it. Since she wanted to attack me, she must have been so busy trying to stop me from going deeper. Her imperial heir came strangely, and Zhen Ruo heard something nine times out of ten and wanted to come back to tell me, but she found out and drowned in the lotus pond. ”
As long as he closes his eyes, Kang promises to this day and still remembers the tragic situation when Zhenruo died. The others didn't plan to let her see Zhenruo's body, but she asked Xiao Chengzi to check up and down, so she finally saw her. is a good girl, who was still in the best and most youthful years, but was killed in vain by this deep palace that eats people and does not spit out bones.
"Concubine Shu was worried that I also knew about this, so she hurriedly took advantage of this to cause me to fall out of favor. She was going to pull people into the water, so she killed three birds with one stone. First, to dispel the suspicions of others, the acting is really average, secondly, Zhenruo's death is waiting for me to be grounded and re-investigated, and there is no proof of death, and third, the concubines in the palace, there are not a few positions higher than me at that time, and they pressed me down, and the talents around her are better. ”
Gu San said, "You actually know the matter, you want to kill someone, and the person you want to kill is still a powerful person who has exclusive grace in this palace?" ”
"I can't kill her, and I'm not qualified to kill her. The only one who can kill her is the emperor. ”
"So what do you want me to do? You know who the real culprit is, and you don't need me to look it up. That's the only thing I can do. Or do you want me to pry their mouths open with torture? ”
Kang agreed, and asked, "Can you do it?" ”
"My life was given to me by Miss Rouyin. Since her only wish is to protect you, I will naturally take care of it. I can be a sword in your hand to stab others and be your murder weapon, but I can also do my duty and be a shield to keep you safe. Gu San looked at her and said sincerely, "It's just that many things don't really matter to me, but I don't know if you care." For me, I have no father or mother, no one can be implicated by me, even if I kill someone here, I will die to die. But you are different. There are a lot of rules you have to abide by, and there are many people to protect, and there are some things that I can only listen to your dispatch and do it myself, thinking about it will only make you suffer. ”
This is not wrong, Gu San has long been accustomed to life and death, and human life has passed in the past, and there are not so many twists and turns for her, but this is not the case for others.
Some people die but a broken mat and no one cares, like a dead dog or a dead chicken. But if someone dies, if they are harmed, they must be thoroughly investigated, and no matter who does something that should not be done in it, or who is not dedicated, they will be implicated because of the death of this person.
In some places, human life is the same, but in other places, human life has a different price, which is probably the most confusing and funny thing about Gu San in this era.
Kang promised to gradually understand Gu San's temperament, knowing that she was different from ordinary people, she was not bound by the rules, and after thinking about it for a while, he said to Gu San, "Concubine Shu has a capable subordinate by her side, surnamed Lu, and she is called Father-in-law Lu." This person is extraordinary, and he seems to be a practitioner before entering the palace. The poor family sent him to the palace and served Concubine Shu for many years, if he said that he killed someone, the only person who Concubine Shu could trust and order him to do it could only be him. I don't want you to torture her, if you have the ability to sneak in the middle of the night and come and go without being discovered, I ask you to help you play a play. ”
"Acting?"
"The devil's revenge play."
"But you have been grounded for many days, and there are no evil ghosts when you are grounded, and the grounding has relieved the evil spirits, which is not logical."
"So naturally I'm going to find a way to make things sense. How is it? Miss Gu San, are you willing? ”
Gu San also agreed happily, "Since you have said it, you just need to act, what do I have to be unwilling to?" But I'd like to remind you that since this person has the courage to kill, he won't be afraid of this. People with weak hearts are timid, and I am afraid that they will not start in the first place. ”
"Don't worry, I know it. Some people are bold, but there must be people who are timid. If you travel a lot at night, sooner or later you will be punished. ”
The matter was decided in this way, and then Kang promised to tell Gu San some details, including when he started pretending to be a ghost, what to do, and after talking about this, Gu San went back to his room. Bixi was guarding the door, and when she saw her come out, she stood up a little nervously, Gu San glanced at her, and she hurriedly asked, "The little master entrusted the matter to you?" ”
Gu San nodded indifferently.
"You promised to do it for the little master?"
"It's not a difficult task, just do it."
Bixi couldn't hide her joy: "If you can help our little lord regain his grace, you will be our great benefactor!" ”
Gu San tilted her head, looked at Bixi's sincere and happy appearance, and laughed to herself, she shook her head and sighed, "I'm afraid you really don't know what your little master really wants." ”
"After finding out the cause of Zhenruo's death, revealing the true face of Concubine Shu, and returning the little lord to innocence, the emperor will naturally favor our little lord again." Bixi frowned, "In this palace, if it's not for grace, what else can it be for?" Our little lord naturally wants the emperor to take another look at her and return to her. ”
"Really?"
Gu San's rhetorical question made Bixi confused for a while.
Kang's voice came from behind the door, "Bixi, come in, tell Gu San to go back and rest." ”
Bixi also blessed Gu Sanfu and entered the house. Kang promised to look at her like her own little sister, and she actually heard what she said outside, so she also talked angrily, "Bixi, do you think that the women in our palace are competing with each other for the emperor's affection and love?"
Bixi was a little aggrieved, "The little lord used to remember the emperor, I saw it with my own eyes." If you take him to heart, you will be happy when he comes, and if he does not come, you will be sad. Aren't you thinking about this because of this, you want to use Zhenruo's incident to defeat Concubine Shu and take back the emperor's favor? ”
"There's a lot of stuff I want to get back. I want the respect that others once had for me, I want to preserve your well-being, and I want to bring Hua'er back to me to raise me. Kang agreed, and finally shook his head, "But only the emperor's love, I won't believe it anymore." How many of the women in this palace really think that the emperor loves whom? Newcomers in the palace are common, and the favor is fleeting? Whether it's Concubine Shu, or me, or Fan Promise, who has been favored the most by the emperor during this period of time, in the final analysis, we are just flowers blooming in front of the emperor, and he doesn't care if the flowers bloom or fail, he only picks the good-looking ones, and if they are not good-looking, they will be left out in the cold. ”
It's been in the palace for so many years, and if you can't even understand these simplest things, it's too stupid and dull. If you can, who doesn't want to find a man who will be a couple for the rest of his life, and respect each other for the rest of his life. But who would have thought that once he entered the palace, how could he have the opportunity to find the love of a couple for a lifetime, and everyone would fight each other for the immediate interests - as for the so-called grace? That's just proof of identity. Where is love? It is no different from a piece of jade, a bracelet, or a fine silk.
"We are all just pawns sent by the family to the palace, trembling and walking on thin ice, just for the rise and fall of the family. As you know over the years, I don't want to fight with people at all. I thought that as long as I was kind to others, no one would harm me. But you see, Zhen Ruo died because of this, and I was also framed. Bixi, this is not determined by whether I have the emperor's favor or not. I've been by his side for a long time over the years, but you can see that what Concubine Shu said that day was obviously full of doubts, but he still made these decisions. ”
Kang agreed to close his eyes in pain.
"In such a situation in the palace, once you fall, others will feel that you are a bully, even if it is for Hua'er and for you. How dare you retreat, how dare you be cowardly, how dare you slump? ”
Bixi knelt down in front of her and cried, "Little Lord, today I said the wrong thing and didn't choose to say anything, I will never say this again, Little Lord." You can rest assured that no matter how much suffering and torture lie ahead, the slave will definitely accompany and protect the little master, and will never let anyone easily bully you. ”
"Of course I do, Bixi. Moreover...... You're not entirely wrong. I also had a young age, and I also had the original intention of seeing the emperor for the first time when I first entered the palace wall. Kang promised to caress Bixi's face, the corners of his mouth were obviously gradually smiling, but tears were falling, "But this palace wall, this palace wall is really high, too high, so high that I can't even see the family clearly, I only remember my father's advice when I left, I only remember the flowers I saw when I entered the palace, but when I first entered the palace, my heart was full of anticipation, but I almost forgot it." This palace city, only when you walk in and find that you can't walk anymore do you know that this place is the most prosperous and exquisite prison in the world. ”
