Lu Yao couldn't help but sigh in his heart, now the emperor is sitting in his arms with Sang Chaqing, and Concubine Xiao Guifei, who has long fallen out of favor, is here, jealous of a dead man who has been dead for many years? No matter how old a woman is, she will always mind something.

Lu Yao echoed and said: "It seems that although the queen is gentle and gentle, her strength should not be underestimated. ”

According to reason, Lu Yao should not have stood on the same front with the villain of the year, but now that the vicious woman of the year has become her mother-in-law, she knows the feeling of being in a dilemma.

"That's nature." Concubine Xiao sneered, her jade hand was on the chair, but she couldn't help but clench it, "This palace has hated a woman the most from the past to the present. ”

Lu Yao knew that she hated the White Lotus the most.

The queen was gentle and elegant, and in the eyes of the bright and moving Concubine Xiao, wasn't she just a white lotus who pretended to be indisputable with the world?

This kind of gentleness is something that Xiao Guifei does not have, so she is so resentful, she can't learn to be so weak no matter what, no matter what, she can't get the emperor's favor in this way, so this hatred has become an obsession over the years, and when she mentions it today, her eyes are still flashing with malice and hatred.

Lu Yao couldn't speak.

Fortunately, she crossed over to marry Gu Congyuan, even if the Cong Mansion was financially difficult, it was better than crossing over to the harem to see a group of women intriguing.

Even if she was as indisputable as the queen back then, wasn't she still targeted by Concubine Xiao Guifei everywhere?

In the end, he ended up committing suicide in a depressed end.

What kind of blow should this have for the young Gu Ziyan?

Lu Yao suddenly felt that he was extremely entangled, and he felt sorry for Gu Congyuan, who was young and could be bullied, and Gu Ziyan, who couldn't help but feel sorry for his heart.

Concubine Xiao closed her eyes and said, "I forced the former queen to death, and from this point on, the emperor can no longer bear my personal relationship with the former regent Gu Huai...... He hated me so much. ”

Lu Yao didn't comment, after all, it was a matter of the year, and there was no one who was not noble.

The emperor's affair back then, she naturally didn't dare to talk too much, in case a little eunuch and a little palace maid gave her a confession, maybe when she would take her life.

Lu Yao was so stupid that she didn't dare to speak, Xiao Guifei also expected it, she continued to talk to herself, and said: "Moreover, I love the house and Wu, the emperor hates me, and he also hates Gu Congyuan, and he is always asking me, who is that child?" ”

Thinking of this, Concubine Xiao couldn't help but snort coldly, there was infinite ridicule in this hum.

Lu Yao was a little restless, what happened back then was too exciting.

She moved the cushion, leaned more comfortably, and pretended to say: "You are the emperor's wife, how can the emperor doubt you so much?" ”

"Oh, I'm just a beautiful vase in his collection, and his wife has never been the first queen's slut, and she has never had my place." Xiao Guifei laughed at herself.

"From then on, it was not only the emperor who hated me, but also Yuan'er." Her tone suddenly became sad, and she could hear that Lu Yao felt that something was wrong, and she was always afraid that Concubine Xiao would cry as she spoke, so she pinched the handkerchief in her palm and prepared it all the time.

"Why does Your Highness hate you?" Lu Yao frowned puzzled, "It's clear that you are so full of firepower, from beginning to end, to protect your son from being bullied by people from other palaces?" ”

"Because, the little boy has always thought that he stands up to the sky." Xiao Guifei seemed to remember Gu Congyuan's appearance when she was a child, and her eyes involuntarily revealed a little tenderness, "At that time, I became the target of public criticism, and all my former supporters began to turn against me, and even turned against me...... He was so small, both arms were thin and thin, and he couldn't protect me. ”

"It's more than that." She sighed, "This kid is too stubborn, too much like his father. ”

Lu Yao couldn't help but feel embarrassed in his heart.

She really couldn't tell which of the fathers Xiao Guifei was talking about was Gu Huai or Gu Ji.

Xiao Guifei continued: "On the one hand, he wants to protect me, on the other hand, he feels powerless and resentful, because because of me, the dignity he has built up with great difficulty has been insulted, and everyone looks down on him because of me. ”

"Among them, led by Gu Ziyan, he began to bully him like crazy."

Lu Yao opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but when the words came to her mouth, what could she say?

The mother and son are exactly the same, neither of them is 100% good, and neither of them is outright evil.

They all feel wobbly and don't know what to do.

"How young Yuan'er was at that time," Xiao Guifei's beautiful eyes reddened slightly, and there were some tears, "But since he was so young, he hated me." ”

"Mother concubine......" Lu Yao couldn't bear to say, "Actually, he still cares about you very much in his heart." ”

Xiao Guifei shook her head and said: "There are all kinds of obstacles, he can't completely break off my kindness, he can only maintain the relationship on the surface, and it is clear that I am his mother, but it has come to this point...... Even if they pass by the gate of my palace, they don't want to come in to see me. ”

This is true, after all, Gu Congyuan's stubborn and cold temperament, if he hadn't been forced to come in every month to greet Concubine Xiao, I am afraid that he would never see him again in this life.

"He's a good boy, and it's all just because of me." Xiao Guifei was anxious to explain to Lu Yao, and suddenly realized that she was far away, and hurriedly turned back, "He is still very kind-hearted, don't look at him and won't say a good word, because I did something wrong back then, he has always been unhappy for the prince in his heart......"

Lu Yao didn't expect Gu Congyuan to have any kindness to Gu Ziyan, and couldn't help frowning incomprehensibly: "When they were young...... Is the relationship really good? ”

Xiao Guifei seemed to think of something, and sighed again: "Maybe, they are all smart children, and they can play together." After thinking about it, she smiled bitterly, "Who made this palace ruthless back then?" is not allowed to be entangled with the queen's children. ”

Lu Yao can imagine what has happened in the following years.

The two brothers originally had similar personalities, but the more they took the opposite path because of their mother, they went further and further, and finally became unrecognizable and hated each other.

It's just that Lu Yao didn't dare to confirm whether it was her husband who turned against Gu Ziyan at that time.

Gu Congyuan should have entered the palace in his teens, and he also had a bad relationship with Gu Ziyan in his teens.

It's really fate......

"As soon as I talked about the old things of the year, I couldn't help but say a few more words." Xiao Guifei pulled back her thoughts out loud, gently held her cold hand, and her expression was almost pleading, "Many people say that Yuan'er has a strange temperament and is not easy to get along with, but you must know that everything happens for a reason, Yao'er...... If you also think he has a strange temperament, don't blame him, blame me, right? Good no good? ”

Xiao Guifei said this sadly, what else could Lu Yao say?

She grabbed the man with her backhand, hooked the corners of her mouth, and said: "Whatever the concubine said, I have never disliked him from beginning to end, he is obviously so good, people outside say that he has a strange temperament, but he is just illiterate." ”

Xiao Guifei saw that people were so relieved, and her heart was also a little relaxed.

"I'm actually very happy that he met you." She said softly.

Lu Yao's eyelashes flickered, and he asked the doubt that he had never dared to ask, and said, "However, when King Cong married me, everyone was against it, thinking that I was just the daughter of a small businessman. ”

Xiao Guifei said: "But I have never seen Yuan'er so attentive to a woman, from the first time I saw you, I knew that you were destined to be together." ”

Lu Yao was suddenly a little speechless.

Dare to love Xiao Guifei nodded at their marriage from the beginning, and tried her best to marry the daughter of a small businessman into the mansion, in which Xiao Guifei really contributed a lot.

"I, I've heard people say ......" Lu Yao couldn't help but be happy in his heart, coughed, and continued to ask, "Gu Cong went to southern Xinjiang for a long time, and after he came back, his temperament changed greatly, as if he was a completely different person. ”

I thought that there would be some panicked and nervous look on Xiao Guifei's face, but who knew that as soon as these words came out, there was a little hidden pain in that person's eyes.

"At that time, southern Xinjiang was simply a purgatory on earth, and His Majesty asked him to go, and he was not afraid that he would not return." She gritted her teeth.

Lu Yao caught a glimpse of the white hand on her desk clenched fiercely.

"Originally, Yuan'er was born thin and thin, he couldn't grow tall no matter how he ate, and he was not good at riding and shooting, so His Majesty ruthlessly sent his own son to southern Xinjiang to die." Xiao Guifei choked up and said, "At that time, he was only sixteen years old, and when he led the troops to the battle, everyone was determined to die, I thought ...... That was the last time I saw my distant son. ”

Lu Yao gently pinched the man's shoulder and said, "Mother." ”

Xiao Guifei waved her hand, indicating that she was fine, and said: "There is no need to doubt that the person who led the troops to the expedition and returned from a great victory is Yuan'er, even I don't know how he crawled back from such a human purgatory......"

"A lot of people say he's changed." She paused, "How can a person say goodbye to his past self completely, come out of the sea of blood through thorns and thorns, get used to swords and blood, and see through the warmth and coldness of human feelings?" ”

Lu Yao couldn't imagine how terrible the scene of a sixteen-year-old boy against a million rebels in southern Xinjiang must have been.

She only knew that Gu Congyuan still had countless wounds on his back.

Xiao Guifei looked at her and said, "Yao'er, he will never harm you, he will ...... you The most sincere, I hope you live up to him. ”

Originally, it was Lu Yao who came to test the tone, but in the end, he actually let Xiao Guifei put it in, Rao is so, Lu Yao still couldn't say the slightest refusal, so he had to nod.

At this time, the little maid stepped forward and said, "Princess, the prince is waiting for you at the gate of the palace to return home together." ”
