Chapter 147: Many people's sons-in-law
The rain outside the window is even heavier, the so-called autumn rain and a cold, Gu Yan knows that after this autumn rain, it will be at least three points colder.
She found a thick dress from the cabinet, and didn't care at all about Gu Zhihua and Ye Shi, who were sitting there with a blue face.
The two women stared at Gu Yan's every move, as if they wanted to kill her with their eyes, their expressions were colorful, holding back the turbulent waves in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say anything.
As Gu Chang said, everyone knows what her personality is like now.
is even more indifferent and ruthless than before, unforgiving on the lips, saying whatever comes to mind, and not putting anyone in the Gu family in his eyes.
Putting on her clothes, she turned her head and suddenly pulled a smile at the corner of her mouth, and asked, "What are you waiting for if you don't leave?" Are you waiting for me to invite you out? β
Gu Zhihua reached out and grabbed Ye's clothes and motioned to go out first.
If Shen Zhongbai becomes the emperor in the future, can she still be a princess bigger than her own princess? It doesn't matter if she suffers today, she will definitely be able to get it back in the future.
The two of them got up, put on the oil-paper umbrella again, and when they walked into the rain, they passed by the palanquin in the palace, and the white palanquin was draped with big white flowers, which looked a little infiltrating.
The eunuch followed, greeted Gu Yan, and listened to the wind and Gu Suliang followed into the palace.
Outside the palace, the sky was white, and all the palace lamps and curtains were replaced with white, looking solemn.
Before entering the palace gate, I heard the crying of Ai Ai and the melodious and depressed mourning music in my ears, and my mood became heavy.
Slowly going up the steps, I saw people on both sides kneeling on the ground, silently wiping their tears.
Most of them were female dependents, in the middle of everyone, a crystal coffin stopped there, the rain did not stop, but the female dependents kneeling on the ground did not move.
Gu Yan's clothes had already been changed at home, and now she quickly knelt on the ground.
Because she was the county lord, the kneeling next to her were Ziyan and Changning, and then close to the coffin, there were some princesses, princesses and the like, their faces were pale, their eyes were blank, as if their souls had been emptied.
Ziyan saw Gu Yan kneeling beside him, so he lowered his voice and said, "You are finally here, do you see it, the women closest to the coffin are all going to be buried together." β
Gu Yan was stunned for a moment, and then felt a little strange.
The last time I saw Ziyan was a day ago, Ziyan saw Ye Mugongzi she was thinking about at her congratulatory banquet, I thought it would be very embarrassing to meet her this time, but I didn't want this girl to seem to forget all those things.
Of course, it is very relaxing to get along with such a person, but the relationship between the two people is buried with hidden dangers, and I don't know when these things will explode like a bomb, which will push the relationship between the two people into the abyss of no return.
She grinned embarrassedly, she really didn't know which of the imperial concubines in the palace were going to die, the emperor had no heirs, and he shouldn't have thought that he wouldn't have time to give birth to a child until he died, so he drove to the west.
Turning his head, he gently lifted the white filial piety on his head, and saw that the women who were close to the coffin to be buried were all very good-looking, they were young, their hair was pulled back of their heads, there was no expression on their faces, and a few of them cried miserably, probably not because they had any feelings with the emperor, but they felt haggard because of their ill-fated fate.
The world, which has not yet come to take a few more looks, has just rushed by.
Mourning hovered over this huge palace, shrouded in despair and sorrow, Gu Yan lowered her head, her heart was like grass, desperately wanting to know where her brother was and how she could save him, but she still couldn't do anything except keep filial piety for the emperor here.
Someone behind her covered her with a cloak that was also white, and the faint fragrance of pear blossoms made her almost immediately know who the man behind her was, and when she turned her head, she saw Shen Qianshan also kneeling on the ground, looking at her quietly.
He seemed to be coming with the rain, and the sound of the rain around him hid the sound of mourning, he gently shook the rain on his body, and said lightly: "You have to kneel here for a long time, can your body withstand it?" β
Gu Yan didn't speak, it didn't matter how long she knelt, Shen Qianshan should also know that this was not what she was worried about at all.
Seeing that Gu Yan was silent, Shen Qianshan also knew what she was worried about, so he said: "The queen is also kneeling in front of the concubines now, and she has no time to deal with your brother's affairs, if you want to, you can find an opportunity to take your brother away." β
Gu Yan's eyes lit up, and then she knew how risky it was for Shen Qianshan to say this thing, if it succeeded, it was naturally good, but what if it failed?
Then there will be too many important people involved in her, she wants to rescue her brother, but she also wants to make these important people around her well.
"Don't be busy, now that the emperor has died, the days when the queen will be in power are not long left." Gu Yan whispered, the rain was dripping, no one heard her voice, even Ziyan next to her didn't know what she was thinking, she continued: "Who is the new emperor?" β
Shen Qianshan's face changed, even on a rainy night, she could clearly see that he seemed to be avoiding this question.
Since he didn't say it, she also knew that at this cusp, it didn't seem that she should have asked this question, but since she asked, Shen Qianshan only hesitated and said, "It's Shen Zhongbai." β
She didn't say anything, but Gu Yan's heart was desolate, she didn't even know why she felt like this, but it suddenly surged up, which made her panic.
Suddenly, a voice appeared in her head: Sure enough, it was still him.
It was Gu Yan's own voice, and as soon as this voice came out, she immediately remembered that she had dreamed of herself in her dream, the Gu Yan who said she was a monster.
This one...... Is it still her?
She felt a little ridiculous with chills all over her body, but then, as if she had grasped something.
Could it be that there is another self living in her body? She was watching everything now with a cold eye, and from time to time she was mocking Gu Yan for doing things she thought were wrong.
What qualifications does she have? She saw everything, she watched these things happen like a fairy, she felt that Gu Yan was stupid, but Gu Yan obviously didn't remember anything.
Shen Qianshan tapped Gu Yan's head with his hand, and then said with a smile: "What are you thinking?" Is it because you are not satisfied? β
Gu Yan smiled bitterly, and then said, "How can I not be satisfied, what does it have to do with me whether he is good or bad?" β
Shen Qianshan's heart was cold, he knew that it was absolutely impossible for him to be the emperor, because he was the prince.
From the palace to Xiaoyao Mountain, he has always adhered to the concept of smooth sailing and quiet years, and he doesn't care about things that don't belong to him.
He wanders around the royal outreach, and occasionally comes into contact with the secrets of the royal family, how can he not see that the emperor's body has long been out of order? How can he not know who the future heir to the throne is, he never cared.
Now looking at Gu Yan's lost appearance, he suddenly felt that he had made a wrong choice?
If he wasn't the prince at the beginning, would Gu Yan still react like this?
Will she feel for a moment that her fiancΓ© would be better off if she were Shen Zhongbai?
He has never had an inferiority complex like this, and meeting Gu Yan has changed him too much invisibly.
"It would be good if you could really think like this, Shen Zhongbai likes you, and the whole world knows it." Shen Qianshan smiled faintly as he spoke.
Three days passed quickly, I don't know why Gu Yan's heart was so indifferent, probably because Shen Qianshan was by her side, she had been waiting quietly.
Keeping filial piety for the emperor, all the people were tired, and returned to the side hall to rest, Gu Yan rubbed her knees, which she couldn't feel anymore, she sniffed, knowing that she was suffering from the wind and cold, and she should not be better for a while.
This small courtyard is around the queen mother's bedroom, as the queen mother's most proud son, the emperor's death obviously made the queen unacceptable, lying in the palace for three days, still groggy.
Gu Yan, as the granddaughter of the Queen Mother, naturally has to do her best at this time and serve her life.
Ziyan was napping on the bed next to her, as for what Ye Mu said, she didn't say anything, as if there had never been such a man.
Gu Yan smiled lightly, feeling that Ziyan was a little cute at this time. If the relationship between two women is so complicated because of a man, she doesn't like it, because that man is not a good man, so that the two women will not be jealous of him.
She sat next to her, and the rain had stopped two days ago, but her clothes had been damp for the past two days.
She sat on the edge of the fire and dried her clothes, and when she looked up, she saw a man in the courtyard standing in front of her with his hands in his hands, looking at him.
I haven't seen him for a long time, Shen Zhongbai is also wearing white clothes, his body is dusty, his eyes are wandering away from Gu Yan's body, his lips are pursed, and he quietly seems to be non-existent.
She didn't say anything, although she already knew that Shen Zhongbai would be the future emperor, but she always felt that if she congratulated this man, it would not be in line with the current situation.
Sure enough, in the end, Shen Zhongbai couldn't help it, squatted down, and said to her like a child: "Can you marry me?" β
Gu Yan raised her eyes indifferently, and said helplessly: "Why, why can't you let me go after such a long time?" β
Shen Zhongbai's whole body seemed to have been struck by thunder, and he looked at Gu Yan blankly.
His love was like pressure in her eyes, and she couldn't kick her breath.
"Spare it? What is a passing? You are with Shen Qianshan, have you ever thought about me? You're happy, but I can't sleep all night! Shen Zhong's white eyes were scarlet, and he paused word by word.
