Chapter 58: Avoidance of Topics
The road in the palace was winding, winding around and around, making Gu Yunan a big circle.
She was worried that Concubine Yu and her palace maid would find out, so she didn't dare to step forward and follow too closely, but she stayed away, and if she didn't pay attention to them, she turned around and disappeared.
After walking for a long time, Gu Yunan finally found the Jade Concubine Niangniang and followed her to a corner.
A woman's mind has always been sensitive, let alone a woman in the harem.
Concubine Yu Niangniang is a woman who has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and she can detect the slightest disturbance of something.
In fact, as early as when Gu Yunan just caught up with Concubine Yu, she had already found out, but she didn't say anything, maybe Concubine Yu wanted to see what Gu Yunan wanted to do.
Thinking of the little palace maid who accidentally spilled the wine before, presumably the little palace maid did it on purpose, and the person who followed behind him now must have something to do with the person who arranged the little palace maid behind her.
First of all, he ordered someone to deliberately stain her clothes, forcing her to leave the banquet dormitory to change her clothes, the purpose must be to lead her away, I don't know what the purpose of this person is looking for her, but Concubine Yu's intuition told her that this person is not bad, so she did not open her mind.
When she arrived at a no-man's land, Concubine Yu suddenly stopped and instructed the palace maids and eunuchs beside her: "You all retreat, you can go back to the palace alone." β
"Yes." The subordinates answered and retired.
Just when Gu Yunan was thinking about whether to go up to find the Jade Concubine at this time, the Jade Concubine suddenly said by herself: "No need to hide, you come out, there is no one now." β
Since Concubine Yu said so, Gu Yunan walked in front of Concubine Yu.
"You are?" Concubine Yu looked at Gu Yun'an, her heart moved, Gu Yun'an's appearance really looked like an old friend of her.
Gu Yunan hurriedly explained his intention to Concubine Yu, "My name is Gu Yun'an, I am Qiao Zhi's daughter, I know that you and my mother used to know each other, so I came here specially to ask you, the cause of my mother's death and previous things." β
When Concubine Yu heard the familiar name, her heart sank, and she suddenly lost her mind for a while, and muttered: "Qiao Zhi, I really didn't expect that I would still hear this name and see her daughter." β
She looked blankly at the sky again, "I haven't heard her name in a long time. β
"Mother?" Gu Yunan looked at Concubine Yu and reminded in a puzzled voice.
Concubine Yu was called by Gu Yun'an like this, and immediately came back to her senses. Concubine Yu raised her eyes and looked at Gu Yun'an again, obviously it was the first time they met, but she immediately believed Gu Yun'an's words, perhaps because Gu Yun'an and Qiao Zhi were quite similar.
When Concubine Yu came back to her senses, her eyes still couldn't leave Gu Yunan: "There are many ears and eyes in the palace, and there are many people with mixed mouths, if there is anything, it is better to go back to the palace with me and tell me." β
Gu Yunan nodded hurriedly, secretly happy in her heart, this time she tried her best to come to this harem, and finally it was not in vain.
Since the Jade Concubine asked her to go back to her dormitory with her, and ordered everyone to retreat, she must have investigated the cause of her mother's death, and she could also have some eyebrows.
With that, Concubine Yu took Gu Yunan back to her palace.
"You can sit here for a while, and then I'll go and change my clothes first." Concubine Yu said softly to Gu Yun'an: "There is tea and snacks here, you can eat some first." β
After speaking, Concubine Yu seemed to think of something again, and said, "The tea may be a little cold, you can just eat some snacks." β
Gu Yunan looked at Concubine Yu, she didn't have to be so polite, but she still simply responded: "Hmm."
No matter how anxious she is, she has to wait for the Jade Concubine to change her clothes. The lady in the deep palace pays the most attention to grooming, and it is uncomfortable to wear wet clothes, and it is easy to catch a cold.
Thinking of this, Gu Yun's peace of mind was covered with a trace of guilt, it was because of her that Lan Qisheng deliberately arranged all this, although she couldn't think of any other good way to get close to Concubine Yu.
Concubine Yu also nodded, and went into the house to change clothes.
Women have always been slow to change clothes, and in addition to the winter clothes, the concubines are reluctant to wear too much in order to show their beauty, but the clothes are wet to the inside, and they still have to change all the clothes on their bodies.
made Gu Yunan wait in the side hall for a while, and then the jade concubine came out after changing her clothes.
"You're in a hurry." As soon as Concubine Yu came out after changing her clothes, she said to Gu Yunan with concern and apologies: "It's because I'm too slow that you have been waiting here for a long time." β
Gu Yunan was just silent and didn't say anything, she came here to ask Concubine Yu, so she was naturally willing to wait, and she did wait for a long time.
"Concubine Yu, I heard that you and my mother are best friends, can you tell me something about my mother?" Seeing that Concubine Yu was sitting, Gu Yunan hurriedly asked, and in a blink of an eye, he got straight to the point and stepped into the topic.
"Your mother and I were indeed very good sisters when we were still in the cabinet." Concubine Yu chuckled, seeing Qiao Zhi's daughter was sad and happy, seeing Gu Yunan sad because she remembered her dead friend, and happy to see her sister's daughter left in the world again.
Gu Yunan looked at Concubine Yu anxiously, and hurriedly asked, "Then do you know about my mother?" β
Concubine Yu shook her head with a smile and said, "What an anxious child." β
Looking at Gu Yun'an, Concubine Yu recalled Qiao Zhi in the past, when they were still waiting to marry the boudoir, she did not enter the palace at that time, and Qiao Zhi did not meet that man, and she was very emotional.
Concubine Yu thought of the smile flashing in her eyes before, and said to Gu Yun'an: "Qiao Zhi, Qiao Zhi was very romantic and naΓ―ve in the past......"
Concubine Yu talked to Gu Yunan about a lot of things in her and Qiao Zhi's boudoir, and chatted with her for a long time.
Gu Yunan looked at Concubine Yu anxiously, the previous things she wanted to ask about her mother's feelings were about her mother's feelings, she wanted to find out the cause of her mother's death, and she also wanted to find out who her biological father was, but Concubine Yu didn't mention any of this.
"Jade Concubine Niangniang!" Gu Yunan interrupted Concubine Yu's memories, and continued: "Niangniang knows so many things about her mother's boudoir, does Niangniang know who her mother was with at that time and was very close?" I want to know who my real father is. β
When it came to Gu Yun'an's biological father, Concubine Yu immediately kept silent, didn't say she knew, didn't say she didn't know, just looked outside, and said, "It's not too early, it's time to go back." This plum blossom banquet is presided over by me, and if I leave for too long, I will not be in harmony. β
Gu Yunan wanted to say something more, but Concubine Yu didn't give her a chance, and took advantage of this to bring Gu Yunan back to the plum blossom banquet, even if Gu Yunan was anxious, there was no way.
