Chapter 709: Asking for Forgiveness
Concubine Xiao Guifei is also a high-ranking concubine in the harem, and the thunderous means of the year forced the queen to fall, where can Lu Yao bear her worship?
What's more, now that Sang Chaqing was stabbed to death by her sword, in the harem, she is about to return to the situation where Concubine Xiao's family is dominant.
The tide reversed, and soon it was her world again.
"Mother, what are you doing here? I can't stand your worship, get up! Lu Yao panicked and hurriedly reached out to help the person up.
Xiao Guifei got up, wiped her tears silently and said miserably: "If you hadn't arrived in time, Yuan'er would have ...... by now Hey, it's all because the Praetorian Guard's bunch of unfavorable rubbish is not as happy as your sword! ”
As soon as Lu Yao recalled the scene where Gu Congyuan's face was pale and he fought against Sang Chaqing with his life, he couldn't help but have angina.
"Seeing that the prince is in danger, I naturally want to save him, but this is the first time I have seen the prince so haggard, and I really can't come back to my senses for a long time." She looked down and sighed.
Concubine Xiao gradually calmed down, and when she saw Lu Yao say this, she suddenly said, "Your Majesty seems to be still waiting in the dormitory, why don't we go and see Your Majesty first?" ”
Lu Yao was just about to nod when he saw a figure staggering in at the door.
It turned out to be Gu Ji.
When the man went to the banquet early this morning, he was still in good spirits, who wanted to be made such a tragic incident by the favored concubine, Gu Ji looked as if he was ten years old in an instant, and he began to shake slightly when he walked.
"The concubine has seen Your Majesty." Lu Yao subconsciously saluted.
Concubine Xiao Guifei had already rushed up to support the emperor in a hurry, and she said with distress in her eyes: "Your Majesty, the concubine sees that you are unwell, why don't you go back and rest first?" ”
When she turned her head to call Gonggong Li to come, the emperor suddenly waved his hand to stop her.
He looked at Xiao Guifei with a complicated expression, his voice was a little hoarse, and he was cautious with inquiry and guilt: "Guifei, today I protected the demon girl in front of the palace, and I didn't defend you on the spot, you won't blame me, right?" ”
Standing aside, Lu Yao, who tried to reduce his sense of presence as much as possible, couldn't help but purse his lips and remain silent.
She saw the scene at that time, Sang Chaqing was aggressive and arrogant, and her young and beautiful face was full of ridicule of Xiao Guifei.
There was a little contempt in her eyes, as if she was ridiculing Concubine Xiao for her old age and decrepitude, and this harem was no longer her world.
At that time, she was pressing step by step, although Xiao Guifei was not a good stubble, but in the end, she was still forced by the young concubine to have nothing to say.
When the emperor saw such a scene, he criticized Xiao Guifei, who had never caused trouble.
If this matter falls on Lu Yao's head, she will definitely be so angry that her eyes are crooked, and she won't be able to take revenge until she finds an opportunity!
But Concubine Xiao Guifei seemed to have not seen His Majesty care for her so much for a long time, and for a while she even forgot the grievances she had just received, her eyes were slightly red, her phoenix eyes were full of tenderness and sweetness, and she said slowly: "The sacred heart is unpredictable, it is Your Majesty's will to favor whoever Your Majesty favors, where do the concubines dare to complain about Your Majesty?" ”
Gu Ji couldn't help but feel even more guilty.
Over the years, if it weren't for the fact that the second prince Gu Congyuan has become more and more prominent, and the second princess has become more capable and capable, I am afraid that the emperor would not even give Xiao Guifei a little blue eye.
But today, except for a little trace of time at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, the favorite concubine of the past seems to have not changed much, and the faint fine lines under her eyes show that she is a little calmer, not as high-flying and domineering as she was back then.
You must know that Concubine Xiao Guifei was dominant in the palace back then, and except for the queen, no concubine could compete with her.
But after the years passed, the emperor noticed that the arrogant and willful Concubine Xiao was now so submissive in front of him, and he didn't dare to resist at all.
Especially when the emperor and the regent brothers were in civil strife, Xiao Guifei was taken captive by Gu Huai for a year and a half, Gu Ji really couldn't imagine what kind of life his beloved woman lived in the enemy......
"Can you forgive me?" Gu Ji's warm palm held the man's cold fingertips tightly.
His eyes were full of thirst for the man's answer, Xiao Guifei is a very smart person, and she has been much more indifferent over the years, even if she is unwilling to forgive the emperor for the cold treatment she has given her over the years, she will not say it.
"The concubine doesn't dare, Your Majesty has never made a mistake, so how can you forgive it?" Xiao Guifei narrowed her eyes and said lightly.
Lu Yao suddenly felt that she seemed to have some redundancy here, she was a little restless now, and she really didn't want to stay here, but Gu Congyuan's side had not moved, and she was so exhausted that her eyebrows hurt faintly.
Looking at the posture in front of him, even if there is a Sang Chaqing who dies in the palace, I am afraid that there will be the next Sang Chaqing who dies and throws it out to make waves......
In particular, Lu Yao's good sister Shangguan Yu is also in the palace, and she has been favored recently, and she is in the position of a virtuous concubine.
Concubine Shu is gone, many concubines are bound to make a comeback, Xiao Guifei will inevitably rush to the forefront, and I don't know if there will be a scene of Shangguan Yu and Xiao Guifei fighting each other in the future.
Lu Yao was faintly worried in his heart.
Originally, the purpose of sending Shangguan Yu into the palace was just to supervise Sang Chaqing, watch the person, and stop the emperor's behavior of sucking Wushisan, but now, ......
Lu Yao could already see that Shangguan Yu really liked the emperor.
Looking at the Ninety-Five Supreme in front of him, who was not an old dragon clock, but was indeed old, Lu Yao spontaneously felt a sense of sadness, he was really obsessed with the ghost to send Shangguan Yu to the palace, and moreover, he also ruined the choice and happiness of that person's life.
She was having mixed feelings, planning to find a time to talk to Shangguan Yu.
The emperor was talking to Concubine Xiao Guifei, and he didn't know where the two of them were talking, when he saw the emperor's figure, he coughed up a mouthful of blood, and instantly wet the front of the dragon robe.
Xiao Guifei and Lu Yao were shocked, and when they were about to call the imperial doctor, they saw Li Yun walking out of the warm pavilion, and said with a happy face: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Niangniang, the prince is safe and sound, but the blood loss is excessive, and the wound on his shoulder will not affect the prince to go into battle to kill the enemy in the future, just need to recuperate for a while." ”
Lu Yao's brain buzzed, as if her nerves had been tense for too long, and suddenly she relaxed, a little unbearable, and she almost fell headlong.
"Great, he's fine......" She was full of emptiness and dazedness, and for a moment she forgot about the emperor vomiting blood.
But Xiao Guifei grabbed Li Yun in a hurry and urged: "Li Shengshou! Your Majesty has just vomited blood, come and help Your Majesty take a look, what is going on? ”
Li Yun, who had just finished dealing with a tricky patient, subconsciously nodded yes when he heard this, but the tiredness under his eyes could no longer be hidden.
At this time, the old ladies in the cabinet came out one after another, with no heavy expressions on their faces, but as if relieved, and one of them stepped forward to say to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Your Second Highness has woken up, you can go in and talk to him." ”
The emperor was really overjoyed at this moment, and the corners of his mouth grinned, and he said: "Okay, very good, in this case, I will go in and have a look......"
"Hey!" Xiao Guifei grabbed the emperor who was about to pass by, and said anxiously, "Your Majesty, Li Shengshou hasn't shown you yet!" You're vomiting blood! ”
Who knew that Gu Ji didn't take this seriously at all, he was obviously used to it, he waved his hand casually, broke free from Concubine Xiao, and said casually: "I often vomit blood during this time, don't worry." ”
"......" Li Yun was silent for a while, it was the first time he saw the emperor so indifferent to his body, he asked in a low voice, "Concubine, what about it...... Do you still want to give His Majesty some treatment? ”
Xiao Guifei saw that the emperor was about to enter the warm pavilion with great strides, and she looked like she was in good spirits and had nothing to do, she was full of helplessness, but she still whispered to Li Yun: "Then bother Li Shengshou to come and check on Your Majesty after dinner today." ”
Li Yun gave up his hand and agreed, and saw Gu Yunyue chattering: "Brother Li Yun, what happened to my second brother!" ”
Seeing that her eyes were red, and the whole person looked like a frightened little rabbit, Lu Yao couldn't help but smile dumbly: "Xiao Jiu is so worried about your second brother, it seems that he really doesn't hurt you in vain." ”
"Of course." Gu Yunyue lowered her eyelashes and said with a cry, "It's the first time I've seen my second brother hurt so badly, and I really don't know how he survived on the battlefield before." ”
As soon as these words came out, it was like a thousand pounds of hammer, beating Lu Yao's heart fiercely!
She frowned slightly, it was really hard to imagine what kind of hardships Gu Congyuan had endured, but seeing that the little princess was full of worry, Lu Yao still said half-jokingly: "Don't worry, your second brother has woken up, it's just that your birthday banquet was stirred up like this, you won't blame the second brother, right?" ”
Gu Yunyue immediately shook her head like a rattle, and said in a loud voice: "No, no!" The second brother is a great hero who saved everyone, how can Xiao Jiu blame the second brother? Wouldn't that be too unconscionable! ”
"Are your eyes okay?" Lu Yao laughed a few times and asked again.
Gu Yunyue shook her hand horizontally in front of her eyes, and said seriously: "It's okay!" Brother Li Yun helped me recuperate very well, I was just dazzled for a while, and now my vision is extraordinarily clear! ”
Lu Yao bowed his head slightly, and Gu Yunyue was already clamoring to enter the door to see His Royal Highness the Second King Cong, but Li Yun stopped her and said: "The prince is weak now, and he can't see too many people, wait for a few days when his injuries are better, and the princess will visit again." ”
The little princess was abducted by Li Yun with a disgruntled face, and Lu Yao put his mind at ease and went to the warm pavilion to see how Gu Congyuan's injuries were now.
As soon as he entered, he heard the emperor sigh softly: "Yuan'er was seriously injured this time. ”
