Chapter 50: Xingshi asks for guilt
In the end, this banquet was still unpleasant, and Gu Jiuge had just walked to the Imperial Garden when he saw Xuan Lang chasing after him. Gu Jiuge listened to the shouts behind him, but he turned a deaf ear and blindly walked forward.
"Sister Gu stays!" Xuan Lang shouted loudly, and Gu Jiuge had no choice but to stop. But as he approached, he took a few steps back and distanced himself from him.
"Sister Gu, today's queen mother suddenly gave marriage, and the palace really didn't know in advance." Xuan Lang looked at her and explained patiently, with tenderness between his eyebrows.
"It's okay, the Third Highness only needs to know that there is no fate between you and me, and the courtiers will never marry for life, and they will never be with the Third Highness." Gu Jiuge looked at him and said lightly, but Xuan Lang's face sank when he heard it, he never expected Gu Jiuge to say it so bluntly.
"Sister Gu, you weren't like this before, why did you ......?"
"yes, I wasn't like that before." Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Gu Jiuge, she raised her eyes and said with a chuckle, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes, which made people's hearts feel cold.
"It turns out that Miss Gu is here." The two were in a stalemate, when they suddenly heard a sound with ice and snow, and the two looked back, but saw Mu Liang striding over.
"Uncle Huang is well." Seeing this, Xuan Lang hurriedly collected the emotions on his face, turned his head to look at Mu Liang and said respectfully.
"This king and Miss Gu still have some things to discuss, you can go back first." Mu Liang nodded, looked at Xuan Lang and said in a deep voice. Xuan Lang frowned when he heard this, and he couldn't understand what could be discussed between the two of them.
And he, the imperial uncle, has always been unapproachable, why is he so good to Gu Jiuge?
But before he could ask more, Mu Liang had already turned around and left with Gu Jiuge.
"Thank you Lord, I don't know if the prince has anything to discuss with his courtiers?" After walking farther, Gu Jiuge looked at Mu Liang and asked softly.
Mu Liang glanced at her when she heard this, "I just told this king that I wanted to form an alliance, but it was only two days before the eldest lady forgot about it." Mu Liang's voice was a little ridiculous, Gu Jiuge tilted his head and glanced at him, and suddenly curled his lips and smiled.
"I don't know if the prince can think about it?" Gu Jiuge looked at him and asked patiently.
Seeing her like this, Mu Liang became more and more interested, "What do you do to help this king ascend the throne?" The folding fan in his hand shook gently, but his tone was indescribably serious, as if he was really thinking.
"Since I said it, I have my own way." The smile on Gu Jiuge's face gradually sank, although she had the intention to win over Mu Liang, it didn't mean that she would give everything she had.
"King Rong Ben thinks about it." Mu Liang said in a deep voice, and then turned around and left.
At that time, in the Weiyang Palace, the queen took the handkerchief handed over by Lotus.
"The slave maid looks at the eldest lady of the Gu family who is extraordinary, why does the mother still marry her to the Third Highness?" Lotus poured a cup of hot tea, and then looked at the queen and asked suspiciously.
She is the queen's personal palace maid, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is a confidant, as early as half a year ago, the queen talked to her about this. The queen took a fancy to the forces of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the General's Mansion behind Gu Jiuge, but she heard that Gu Jiuge was a talented and unattractive woman, so she was unwilling to let her marry the crown prince Xuanqing at all, so she hit Xuan Lang with her idea.
Xuan Lang has no mother, he has been relying on the queen for so many years, if Gu Jiuge is married to him, so that the queen can not only get the power behind Gu Jiuge, but also avoid Gu Jiuge from occupying the position of the crown princess, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?
When the queen heard this, she glanced at her, and a meaningful smile appeared on her face, "That woman is not something Qing'er can hold, if she is promised to the prince, she will definitely have extraneous branches in the future." ”
"The slave and maid are not easy to get along with when they look at that Miss Gu, people look at Wen Wen and kind, but they are ruthless when they deal with Miss Gu Er." Hearing this, Lotus nodded in deep agreement, in fact, the things that happened at the banquet just now, most people with clear hearts can guess what is going on.
The queen shook the cup in her hand slightly, "It's a good thing to have scheming means, but she is by no means a good match." ”
"But Miss Gu also refused to marry the Third Highness, so it will be difficult for you to want the power behind her." Lotus said with some regret. Xuan Lang is heroic, the wind god is handsome, and he is from the royal family, where can any woman not like it? But that Gu Jiuge sternly refused, leaving no room at all.
"It's okay, what this palace can't get, others naturally can't get it, so this palace has nothing to be afraid of."
The candlelight jumped in the Weiyang Palace, reflecting the queen's side face, and her thin red lips were slightly curved, with a hint of calculation.
Let's say that when Gu Jiuge returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Gu Qinglai's mother and daughter and others had already returned, Gu Qingxue's face was full of blood and scars, and the Li family made a big fuss in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the Mansion was already in chaos at this time.
"Sir! You must find out about this today! I don't know which one is ruthless, I have to put Xue'er to death! Li knelt on the ground, hugged Gu Shuyuan's thighs and roared hoarsely. Gu Qingxue is the meat of her heart, now that she has ended up like this, how can she give up.
Gu Shuyuan pulled her up when he heard this, "I know this matter in my heart, Xue'er is also my daughter, I will never let her have an accident." After that, he turned his head to look at the Jiang mother and daughter who were standing at the door and did not enter or leave, their eyes were fierce as if they could release cold arrows.
"Master, what are you doing looking at me like this?" Jiang Shi was a little weak by his staring, but he still held on to his breath, looked at Gu Shuyuan and said very stiffly.
"You gave this box of rouge to your three children, do you think you can take it out now that something has happened?" Gu Shuyuan roared angrily when he heard this, and raised his hand to slap Jiang Shi in the face.
"Daddy, don't wronged my mother! Who knows who poisoned this rouge, how can it be blamed on my mother? Gu Qinglai hurriedly helped Jiang up, turned his head to look at Gu Shuyuan and said in defense. Now that Gu Qingxue has become like this, it is very likely that her appearance will not be restored, if she admits it, how can Gu Shuyuan let her go easily.
So she won't admit it if she dies!
"Not you? Could it be that Cher herself poisoned the rouge and framed you? Look at her face now! She's your own sister after all, how can you do this! Gu Shuyuan was also angry, and when he saw Gu Qinglai's nonsense defense now, he couldn't help the anger in his heart even more.
"Sir! We were framed, how stupid am I to poison what I openly gave away, if something happens, the first one will suspect me, what's the point of me doing this kind of thing? Jiang Shi cried while covering half of his hot face.
Although she is a mother, she is a woman in her thirties, and she is very well maintained, and she looks like a pear blossom with rain at this time.
Gu Shuyuan frowned when he heard this, Jiang's words were not completely unreasonable. If it was really her who poisoned the rouge, and she couldn't pick it out if something happened, how could anyone be stupid enough to do such an obvious thing?
"Yes, Daddy, it must be Gu Jiuge! Why don't you want to think about it, it's all the rouge I sent, but it's useless for her, and she gave it to Concubine Zhen and the queen mother in front of so many people, isn't this obviously trying to frame me in front of everyone? Gu Qinglai glanced at Gu Jiuge, who was belated, and gritted his teeth and said viciously.
Gu Jiu Ge shrugged her shoulders after hearing this, Gu Qinglai would bite back was something she had long expected.
"Miss, you are so ruthless! What kind of things did our mother and daughter do, and why did you frame us again and again? Although you were not born by me, but I have raised you for many years, and I can be regarded as half of your mother, why should you be so ungrateful! Jiang almost fainted from crying, looking heartbroken.
"Aunt Jiang better keep your mouth shut, you are just a concubine, what qualifications do you have to count me as half a mother? What's more, when I presented the rouge to the queen's mother, you and the second sister did everything possible to stop it, did you know that I had poisoned the rouge at that time? If that's the case, why didn't you just debunk me at the time? It's not like your style! Gu Jiuge sneered and said, she can bear whatever Jiang Shi says, but she can't touch her bottom line.
Zhao Lin, her mother-in-law, is her bottom line.
"The song is right! It's clear that you are at fault in the first place, but now you still want to bite back, and unrepentance is even more hateful! Gu Shuyuan pointed at her and roared angrily, trembling with hatred.
"Okay, you Jiang, I listen to you for everything and rely on you for everything on weekdays, but in the end you hurt my daughter like this! What virtues do I not know? With a smile on his face and a knife hidden in his back, I bah! Li couldn't help it, he smacked Jiang fiercely, pounced on her, and fought with her.
In the past, the Li family had no choice but to side with the Jiang family, but now that the Jiang family has hurt her baby daughter, she can't bear this matter!
"What are you doing this crazy woman, what are you like, you dare to talk to my mother like this!" Gu Qinglai saw that the Jiang family was humiliated, and he was angry in his heart, slapped him over, pointed at the Li family and roared angrily.
"Whew! What kind of thing is your mother, she is a concubine who can't be on the stage, who is more noble than whom! Even if she is carried to the main room by the master in the future, it will be a continuation of the string, a little wife! It's not right in this life! Li sneered and shouted at the top of his throat, that kind of appearance is really no different from a shrew.
"You! You slut! Jiang Shi trembled with anger when he heard this, and pointed at Li Shi who was stunned for most of the day without saying a word.
"Am I wrong? If Xue'er's face can be restored today, this matter still has to be discussed, if I, Xue'er, is disfigured, your daughter will have to sleep with one eye open! Then Li Shi is not a master to be messed with, and said coldly with his hands clasped in front of his chest.
This is still in front of Gu Shuyuan, she is so unevasive.
