The death of the Guo family set off huge waves in the court.

Such a large-scale execution also planted the seeds of awe of the emperor's wrath in the hearts of the people.

The people, who were still talking about the Guo family, kept silent as if they had discussed it in an instant, and the streets and alleys were still lively, but no one talked about the Guo family's affairs anymore.

Just thinking of the scene in the central square that day, the creepy and hairy feeling will be clearly reproduced.

Even before the Guo family inspected the abandoned mansion, few people passed by.

The former Shengjing Gaomen and the former glory all fell among the ashes and dust, which made people sigh.

Occasionally, I can hear the old man looking in the direction over there, and sighing quietly: "I just sealed the concubine, when the door was full of glory, I also received a happy bag with the head of the front, the Guo family is a big family, a bag is a tael of silver, what a beautiful scenery at that time, say no, no!" ”

The young man who had just come to Shengjing did not catch up with the execution, and the huge flames shattered into sparks, which were taken to all parts of the country by caravans and pedestrians, causing huge repercussions outside, and the major events that were discussed in full swing were in full swing when they arrived in Shengjing, but it was a taboo in everyone's mouth.

It is rare to meet such an old man who is willing to say a few words, and soon a small table is full of people, both sitting and standing, all come over to encourage the old man to say a few more words, and even with the wine and snacks ordered by the old man, some people shout that it is all inclusive.

Half a month has passed since the Guo family's affairs were blinking.

The palace gate of Yunde Palace still has no signs of opening.

Chu Miao's arrangement to leave the palace to pray for blessings was finally scheduled to leave the palace this morning.

Qi Ying was a little silent during this time, and the execution of Guo Shi did not ease the heavy heart in his heart by half a minute.

Changzhong saw that Qi Ying had no appetite every day, and he was not in a good mood, so he asked for three or four invitations to Meixi Palace, Jiang Wan was also lazy and didn't like to move, and she didn't seem to be in a very high mood.

The emperor and queen are like this, the number of meetings has also decreased sharply, the entire former harem is shrouded in a strange and dead atmosphere, quite a few people are in danger and introspection, during this time, the Jinchi Hall received a variety of self-reflection on their own self-seeking holy judgment folds piled up in the small room next door, in addition to the court officials handed over, after hearing the news, the state and county officials also began to check and report their political achievements independently.

With the death of the Guo family, to the integration of the whole country inside and outside, and self-reflection, it can be said that Qi Ying has been looking forward to the grand occasion of the country being rich and the people strong, and the whole country is concentric.

can be realized under such a tough hand, bloody impact, and life stacking, Qi Ying only feels a little ironic.

They didn't do it voluntarily.

But it is out of fear and fear of death that he does such a thing.

But in the end, it has also been done, and many problems have been put out, and there are channels that can be solved.

Jiang Ying took advantage of this to jump forward and regain the power of the central government, and officially made the prime minister take root in everyone's hearts.

No one dares to underestimate this female prime minister or attempt to challenge her authority.

The matter of the Guo family was that the prime minister single-handedly cast a net and finally died.

At the beginning, Jiang You, the military division of the three armed forces, had a demeanor, and many people saw similarities in Jiang You.

The two brothers and sisters inherited the Jiang family's scheming skills, no matter which one of them sat in that position, they could easily stir up the court and grasp the situation in the court.

This time, many self-reflection and thorough problems were put into Jiang Ying's hands.

Qi Dao was not idle, there were a lot of things to contact with Jiang Yu during this time, but fortunately, the two of them were facing each other, but it was convenient to visit the door.

At this time, Changzhong sent to Meixi Palace to invite Jiang Wan's little eunuch, but he failed to bring back good news.

Changzhong dragged the little eunuch's arm: "Where's Niangniang?!" ”

Why didn't you come again.

The emperor drank a bowl of porridge for breakfast, and people saw that they were losing weight day by day, and they still dealt with government affairs like that every day, how could people survive? !

The little eunuch sneered: "The slave went to Meixi Palace to ask, and the mother sent Concubine Chun." ”

Send Chun Concubine?

Changzhong was stunned for a moment, and then glanced in the direction of the palace gate.

Calculating the time, it is indeed time to leave the palace at this time.

Chu Miao is not too stupid, Jiang Wan's hint that she still figured it out and made the most correct choice, after Qi Ying promised her that she could leave the palace, Chu Miao didn't tell Qingping about it, no matter how she asked, she just shook her head and said nothing.

The day before leaving the palace, Qingping was transferred out of Henghu Palace and directly assigned to Zhao Guiren.

During the time she entered the palace, Chu Miao had no friends, she learned to read the account books in Guo Zhenzhen's palace for a few days, but she hadn't learned anything real.

She didn't think that someone would come to send her, let alone ask for these, Qi Ying said that she would let a few little girls who took care of her in the royal palace follow her to the imperial temple, which is a little grace from the heavenly family.

So Chu Miao's heart was actually very relaxed, she looked back at the long and rich glazed brick palace group behind her, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of her heart.

She is a person who has no means to support the mountain to fight for power, and since she was put in that position by the Queen Mother, she has actually not slept very well in the palace.

It's beautiful here, it's full of gold, and even the flowers in the Imperial Garden look more gorgeous than the outside.

But these are not things that really belong to her in Chu Miao's eyes and heart, and this glance before getting into the carriage, she finally just looked at the magnificent harem one last time with an appreciative eye, and then retracted her gaze and was about to enter the carriage.

She was halfway inside, and suddenly heard someone shouting: "Concubine Chun Niangniang stay!" ”

Chu Miao was stunned for a moment, then withdrew from her body again and looked towards the sound.

Jingyue accompanied Jiang Wan out of the corner, still carrying a big burden in her hand.

Jiang Wan packed up some soft things, which may not be used, but it is always difficult to come empty-handed when she comes to give it away.

As Jiang Wan expected, this place was really deserted, except for her, no one would come to send a concubine who had no friendship.

What's more, going to the Imperial Temple to pray for blessings, whether you can see each other again in this life has to be said.

Chu Miao's eyes moistened as soon as she saw Jiang Wan, she hurriedly lifted her skirt and got off the carriage, walked quickly to meet Jiang Wan, reached out and held the hand handed over by Jiang Wan, and was about to salute.

Jiang Wan grabbed her and said softly: "Since you have thought about leaving, these red tapes in the palace should be thrown away." ”

"Mother." Chu Miao opened her mouth a little choked, she stood up straight and took a deep breath, "I... This is about to leave the palace, the day Niangniang mentioned, I thought about a lot in my heart, grateful Niangniang was willing to bother to say those words to me, Chu Miao remembered in his heart, will not forget Niangniang's friendship, but this time, I don't know when I will see Niangniang again, and I don't know how to repay Niangniang's kindness, Chu Miao can only wish Niangniang to be healthy, everything goes well, stay in the imperial temple, must light a Buddha lamp for Niangniang to worship, and hope that Niangniang is in the harem, everything is cherished. ”

She said these words sincerely, Jiang Wan believed that Chu Miao at this moment was sincerely grateful to herself, and she also believed that Chu Miao really wanted to have a sisterhood with her in the palace in her pure eyes when she looked at her.

Jiang Wan remembered her clean eyes, and she also remembered the sincere smile she had when she saw herself.

That's enough.

More, no need to go any further.

Once bitten by a snake, she was afraid of the well rope for ten years, Jiang Wan once delivered it with a sincere heart, in exchange for a poisonous snake, and asked for her life.

She didn't want to speculate with the worst thoughts about what Chu Miao would become in the future if she was in this deep palace.

She just couldn't risk another unknown possibility around her.

So just like now, be grateful, say goodbye with gratitude, and leave the best in each other's hearts.

It's their best meeting point.

After that, each went his own way, and each was well.

They all made the best and the right choice.

Jing Yue handed the soft in her hand to the little eunuch behind Chu Miao, and put it together with Chu Miao's luggage.

The carriage began to move, and Jiang Wan was still standing in place, watching the group of carriages and horses and pedestrians go away.

Chu Miao poked out her head and glanced back several times, and her reluctant emotions would eventually be diluted by the joy of leaving the palace to be free.

Jiang Wan stood here for a long time, and Jing Yue stood with her on the side, without saying a word.

Looking at Chu Miao's distant figure, Jiang Wan suddenly felt in a trance and sighed.

If it was back then... Guo Zhenzhen is willing to listen to her words and marry out of the palace, she will definitely give her a grand and magnificent wedding.

She will also sit in a festively dressed carriage and horse, accept everyone's blessings, and leave the confines of this palace in style.

Every year, she will also come to the palace to be her companion.

Her children can still read to Qi Yan when they grow up.

The carriage that drove away seemed to carry another road that she and Guo Zhenzhen had taken the wrong way back then.

The light all around seemed lonely.

Jiang Wan blinked, sighed very lightly, then put her hand on Jing Yue's hand and turned around: "Go back." ”

There was a long road behind her.

It's her way.

·

Chang Zhong stayed on the way back from Jiang Wan to bid farewell to Chu Miao.

Seeing Jiang Wan from afar, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly trotted forward: "Say hello to Niangniang." He saluted, Jiang Wan didn't stop, and quickly withdrew his hand to follow, "Did the master send Concubine Chun?" ”

Jiang Wan glanced at him: "What's the matter?" ”

Changzhong smiled bitterly: "The emperor only drank a bowl of porridge this morning, the mother is pitiful to the slave, go to see the emperor, talk to the emperor, the emperor can't eat and sleep like this, and he is locked in the study every day to criticize the children, and the slave is afraid of the emperor's body. ”

Qi Ying's mood is indeed very bad.

Others don't know why, but Jiang Wan knows.

Like him, she has a hurdle in her heart, and no one wants to cross it until they think clearly about each other.

But Chang Zhong doesn't quite understand, Guo Zhenzhen and the Guo family already deserve it the most, everything that used to be revealed to the world, and the things that the emperor and queen had been estranged and couldn't argue about now should be solved.

Why do two people look like this? Still preoccupied?

Jiang Wan had no way to explain anything to Chang Zhong, and those who had not experienced marriage were afraid that it would be difficult for them to understand the feelings between the two of them at this time.

The biggest obstacle between them has never been Guo's.

Guo's death is just what they deserve.

What really made Qi Ying and Jiang Wan not think of how to face each other again, to examine the past, and to go to each other was Qi Yan's death.

The kid was already laughing and making trouble.

I can already go, and I will shout the queen mother with a whistling voice.

He has also known the world, and his eyes have seen the beauty of the world.

But at the age when his eyes were the clearest, he left forever.

This is the most painful scar in Jiang Wan and Qi Ying's hearts, they once thought that it was just an accident, and that God was not enough to take care of them and took away this child.

But now, he forcibly tore open the scars that had healed the two, let them feel the pain clearly, and then told them that the death of the child was never a providence, but a man-made disaster.

The Guo family is innocent, they not only killed the prince, but also killed so many innocent people.

But no matter how much you vent your anger, you can't get the child's life back.

Qi Ying blamed herself.

He is now more miserable than anyone else, failing to protect his children, failing to protect his wife, and failing to fulfill the promises he made.

He is a high king, but he is experiencing the greatest setback in the world, he has supreme power, but he has not been able to keep what he wants to keep.

He didn't know how to face himself, and he didn't know how to face Jiang Wan, this time he couldn't let go of his identity anymore, and played some childish tricks with a shy face to make his beloved woman laugh.

He had to think clearly, think clearly, and figure out how to soothe the scar in Jiang Wan's heart.

How to hug each other tightly again and merge each other into flesh and blood again.

And Qi Ying's pain is also Jiang Wan's pain.

She also doesn't eat well or sleep well.

The decrease in the number of times they met was not the distance between the two of them, on the contrary, it was more like self-restraint before breaking out of the cocoon and becoming a butterfly.

Changzhong's worries Jiang Wan understood, but she only half-lowered her eyes, and said softly after a while: "I'll make a bowl of dumplings for Jingyue to send later, you go back first, you left for too long in front of the Jinchi Palace, and the people below panicked." ”

Changzhong was stunned for a moment, wondering why Jiang Wan didn't go to see Qi Ying, he looked at Jingyue, only to see Jingyue slightly frowning and shaking his head at him, he knew in his heart, and then paused after saying yes, and saw Jiang Wan go away.

It wasn't until she went back to the Mei Xi Palace and sat down that Jing Yue glanced at the position outside the door, and when she saw that Pinzhu didn't come with her, she added fragrance to Jiang Wan, and said softly: "Niangniang feels uncomfortable, the slave knows, but... The days will always look forward. ”

Oh, yes.

It's always about looking forward, and it's going to be forward.

Jiang Wan propped her head and took a deep breath of the fragrance that slowly filled the air: "Bengong is just a little sleepy, let's send the dumplings over later." ”

"Mother, take a break." Jingyue sighed faintly.

When she closed the door and exited, she grabbed Pinzhu, who was going inside, and pulled her all the way to the yard before shaking off her hand.

Pinzhu grinned in pain, rubbed his wrist, and frowned unhappily: "What are you doing?!" ”

Jingyue looked at her coldly: "Niangniang is asleep, don't go inside, go to the backyard to rest." ”

Pinzhu bit her lip, after suffering a lot of Jingyue's losses, she didn't want to have any conflict with Jingyue, anyway, it was always herself who suffered!

Jingyue's strength is really too great, carrying her is like carrying a little chicken, and the palace people in Meixi Palace are all headed by Jingyue, so she doesn't have an advantage at all.

But if it were a normal time, even if Pinzhu was going to suffer, he would definitely make a fuss, at least his ears would not be called Jingyue pure, but recently, it can be seen that Pinzhu is very restrained and forbearing.

She just snorted at Jingyue, and then turned away unhappily.

Jingyue knew what she was enduring to endure.

She was waiting for Dongshu's people to go to Dajin.

Although she didn't know when she would come, she knew that she would definitely come.

Pinzhu didn't hang around in front, Jingyue was also able to rest for a while, Jiang Wan slept until dinnertime, didn't eat anything at noon, and when she woke up, she was groggy and had no strength, and the whole person leaned on the edge of the bed and stared at the candlelight lit up outside in a daze.

When Jingyue lit up the room, Jiang Wan's eyelashes trembled, and she turned her face to look at her, and then her expression gradually became clear, and she raised her hand and patted her face.

Even if she has already strengthened her spirits, Jingyue can still see that Jiang Wan's face is not very good-looking, she has been in the afternoon. I also slept very hard.

After drinking two more bowls of chicken soup for dinner, the meat didn't move, and the delicious and refreshing vegetarian dishes in front of her didn't move.

Although Jingyue wanted to persuade Jiang Wan to stop working, she went to the palace and told Chang Zhong that if she didn't get dumplings today, there would be no dumplings, and if she didn't think anything had arrived, Chang Zhong wouldn't run to Qi Ying to say it.

But seeing Jiang Wan's serious expression, Jingyue couldn't bear to say that the mother and the emperor were like this now, and she didn't feel good when she looked at it.

The dumplings are boiled in a pot, served with a plate of dipping sauce, and packed into a food box.

Jiang Wan washed her hands and told Jingyue to go and come back quickly.

This trip to the Golden Pond Palace, Jiang Wan's gentle tone suddenly reminded Jing Yue that before, she also peeled a bowl of fish so seriously and patiently, with a faint expression, and even smiled lightly and let herself be sent to the Golden Pond Palace.

Then she left.

Jing Yue was scared, and suddenly pulled Jiang Wan's hand tightly, making Jiang Wan look back at her with a blank face, Jing Yue stood outside the door, the candlelight only fell in her eyes, illuminating the mist in her eyes, Jiang Wan sighed in her heart, and immediately shook Jing Yue's hand: "Jing Yue? ”

Jing Yue choked up and said, "Niangniang. You and the emperor, and the prime minister, and the little son, and many, many people still have an agreement, they still care about you, love you, slaves and maids. Relying on Niangniang in his heart, and Jinbao, he is still waiting for the limelight to pass, and he will come to serve Niangniang, Niangniang. Don't do anything like that again. ”

Jiang Wan looked at her and suddenly understood where she was thinking.

She patted the back of Jingyue's hand, and felt that this didn't seem to be sincere enough, so she simply took Jingyue's hand, pasted it with her face, and said softly: "No, don't be afraid, go quickly." ”

Won't be leaving again.
