Gu Jue walked to her side, then smiled and snatched the account book in her hand, then opened it and glanced at it casually.

"Look at your sad face, I thought it was the old master who punished you for endorsing!" He couldn't help but tease her.

Yu Zhiyan couldn't help but glared at him fiercely, "Now that the family is stretched, you have nothing to do, look at the price of rice and meat, it is ridiculously expensive." ”

It was the first time he heard her say that the trivial matter of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar couldn't help laughing, "It's the first time I've seen you worry about silver." ”

Yu Zhiyan's thin white fingers pointed at the abacus in front of him, "There are so many mouths in the house, just ask me for silver, but they don't care about my life or death." ”

Gu Jue looked down at her, and then said slowly: "Feng Huang took away my soldiers, but the mountains of gold and silver I piled up are still in my hands. ”

Yu Zhiyan couldn't help but have a light on his face when he heard the word gold and silver, "Where is it?" ”

Dong Lang's hand fell on the abacus, and then said: "Where Bai Feng's house is, where is the gold and silver in our hands." ”

Yu Zhiyan couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "What's the use of those, now that we are being watched everywhere, even if there is flowing silver, it will not help." ”

The two of them were talking, but they heard the maid Bai Zhu'er come in, and then said respectfully: "The princess Jiao Gu next to the queen mother said that she liked the patterns you described very much, if you have time, enter the palace and describe a few." ”

Gu Jue sneered: "It's true that you are their family's slave maid, isn't there anyone in the palace who can depict it?" ”

Yu Zhiyan knew that Bai Zhu'er was also the person who sealed the phoenix, so he hurriedly glanced at Dong Lang, and then said: "Go and tell Grandpa Gu that I will enter the palace after I pack up in a while." ”

Bai Zhu'er took the order, and at this moment, she heard Gu Jue say in a weird way: "You are just like me, but you are just a common person, where can you enter the palace so casually." ”

And Yu Zhiyan didn't have the heart to be angry with him, she knew what the queen was impatient to call her into the palace for, it seemed that she couldn't bear the child in Concubine Xian's belly anymore.

Seeing her thoughtful face, Gu Jue pulled her delicate face, "Go early and come back early." ”

Yu Zheyan was about to enter the palace, it was still the usual way, and the guards guarding the door were no longer surprised.

However, she did not go directly to the queen's bedroom, but went directly to the Luoxia Palace of Concubine Xian.

Concubine Xian was extremely disgusted with Yu Zhiyan, but the two of them were on the same page, both on the surface and in private, but they were very curious about what Yu Zhiyan was doing in her bedroom, so she asked her to enter her bedroom.

Concubine Xian is now pregnant, and she is also the most powerful person in the palace, and even the limelight of the queen's mother has been overpowered.

And now Yu Zhiyan's identity is well known to the world, and now she is the wife of the traitor, and it is a fluke to be able to leave a life, and now she is not allowed to step on her feet.

Yu Zhiyan respectfully entered her dormitory, and couldn't help but smell a fragrance, it turned out that this virtuous concubine disliked gold and silver and was not extravagant enough, and specially transported bright flowers from Jiangnan.

Concubine Xian was letting the maids dress up at this time, she was wearing a pale pink palace dress, her lower abdomen was flat and she could barely tell that she was pregnant, but she deliberately stretched out her thin white fingers to caress her belly.

The palace maid put fine powder on her face, and combed her hair in a bun with bright peony petals, which looked very charming, but she was really proud.

"The folk women see the virtuous concubine Niangniang." Yu Zhiyan knelt on the ground respectfully, this was the first time she had asked this woman to say goodbye.

Concubine Xian raised her chin, and the corners of her lips hooked up a mocking smile, "Yo, it's really a rare guest, this palace is really fortunate to have three lives, and it can still make Mrs. Yu kneel." ”

Yu Zhiyan raised her head and looked at her, but her eyebrows and eyes looked like herself, but after all, she was born as a slave, but there was a frivolity on her body that could not be concealed.

She didn't let Yu Zhiyan stand up, but Yu Zhiyan didn't care about her deliberate embarrassment, "The folk woman has something to say to you, and please send your minions out." ”

Concubine Xian glanced coldly at the minions around her, and they hurriedly bowed down and retreated, even covering the door of the room.

Concubine Xian broke a branch from the peony flower beside her, pinched it between her nose and sniffed it carefully, and then said lightly: "Tell me, what is the matter?" ”

"I'm here to save your life." After all, it is a murderous thing, not to mention the child in the womb, she can't bear it after all, "If you want to save a life, remove the evil seed from your belly." ”

Concubine Xian's face turned pale, as if she had been stepped on by her tail, she stood up and said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? ”

Yu Zhiyan looked at her, and was not afraid of her anger, "After the emperor ascended the throne, he made you a virtuous concubine, and within four years, Niangniang was the most favored, but why she has not been pregnant, don't you want to know?" ”

Concubine Xian raised her head in a daze and looked directly at Yu Zhiyan who was kneeling on the ground, "Why?" ”

"Niangniang knows that the folk little girl uses a medicine, and then she can't make a woman pregnant." Yu Zhiyan opened lightly.

Hearing this, Concubine Xian's hands kept trembling, and the peony flower in her hand also fell on the cold ground.

"You're talking nonsense—" her voice was shocked, "he's the emperor, how could he use that kind of medicine." ”

"He won't, but don't forget it, he was Gu Yinglian's prisoner at the beginning, how could the Queen Mother be pregnant, and prevent it from happening, she naturally wanted to cut off his queen."

Concubine Xian's hands were clenched tightly together, as if to resist the despair spreading from the bottom of her heart, and her sharp nails were embedded in her skin, as if she couldn't feel pain.

"It's ridiculous, if you have no roots, you say that the child in the womb of this palace is not the emperor, it's really a bastard." Concubine Xian was also suspicious of Yu Zhiyan's words, after all, she was pregnant and treated her so well, and even wanted to canonize her as a concubine.

Seeing that she was still at her feet, Yu Zhiyan couldn't help but sneer: "Niangniang's adulterer is still alive?" How did you get to it like that, isn't it someone else who is obstructing it? ”

After listening to Yu Zhenyan's words, Concubine Xian couldn't stand it anymore, and suddenly fell from the chair to the ground, and couldn't even stand up.

"Your Majesty—" Her thin body trembled constantly, so pitiful.

"I know Feng Huang's temperament too well, and now treating you well is just a cover-up, if you wait for the emperor to get rid of the child in your belly

Son, I'm afraid that your life will not be saved. ”

Yu Zhiyan actually didn't dislike this woman, and even felt a little pity for her. Although this woman is pampered and arrogant, she is just a blank sheet of paper, and any thoughts are also expressed on her face.

"What should I do? What to do? Her voice was full of helplessness and fear, "The emperor will kill me, will kill me." ”

Yu Zhiyan took her hand and said slowly: "If you want to save your life, get rid of this child yourself as soon as possible." ”

Concubine Xian did the thing that caused trouble in the palace just because she was desperate, and everyone who treated her all these years only thought that she was a favor, but she knew how much love was mixed in.

Now she just wants to have a prince to rely on.

When Yu Zhiyan left the palace, the sky was already dark, and the golden palace was so desolate and lonely in her eyes, except for the jackdaw hovering in the sky, there was nothing.

No one came to pick her up today, perhaps because the virtuous concubine was crying, she was upset, and she went home alone.

It turns out that the end of the year is approaching, and the streets are full of fireworks and various couplets, and the lanterns on the street are very lively.

When walking on a fireworks stand, Yu Zhiyan couldn't help but remember that Gu Jue liked these mundane things the most, and couldn't help but pause.

Seeing that she had been staring at the fireworks on her stall, the vendor only thought that business had come, and said with a smile: "Madam, my family's fireworks are transported from Jiangnan, and they are all beautiful, even for the royal family in the palace." ”

Yu Zhiyan could tell the difference between good and bad, and only shook his head, "I don't have any silver on me." ”

After she finished speaking, she walked in the direction of the Chengguo Mansion, and she didn't take a few steps, but she still turned back.

"Shall I exchange this hairpin for these fireworks for you?" Yu Zhiyan pulled off the only hairpin on his bun, and the black green silk was scattered.

The peddler took the hairpin, but saw the transparent white jade, and there was a pearl the size of a dragon's eye on the top, not to mention that it was more than enough to buy his family's fireworks, even the whole street.

Yu Zhiyan didn't know the market, but she only knew that this hairpin was given to her by Feng Huang at the beginning, and it must be worth some silver.

**********

In the Chengguo Mansion, Gu Jue waited for her to come back until it was dark, and there was no trace of her.

Thinking that she might be with Feng Huang in the palace, she couldn't help but feel more and more jealous, and she didn't even eat dinner.

And the two maids who served were even more frightened, for fear of provoking the living Hades.

Gu Jue was sulking in the room, scribbling on her account book. But I heard the maid say respectfully: "Madame." ”

He was busy getting up, but now he thought that if he was too anxious, he would always provoke her jokes, so he sat there and raised his head slowly.

Yu Zhiyan was carrying two cloth bags in her hands, and she was so heavy that she almost crushed her two arms for him.

He poured himself a cup of tea, looked at those things, and couldn't help pouting, "Why, you can't move the palace here, I want to see what good things there are." ”

Yu Zhiyan snatched the teacup from his hand, drank it with a rumbling rumble, and then said with a smile: "It's all for you,

Check it out. ”

Gu Jue only thought that she had brought it back from the palace, so she wouldn't take any treasure to heart. But when he heard Yu Zhiyan say this, he picked up the lamp beside him and walked over.

Yu Zhiyan just turned around, but saw that he was opening the bag, because with two hands to open it, the flame of the candle actually ignited the wrapped cloth.

She suddenly turned pale with fright, grabbed Gu Jue at once, and said hurriedly: "Run." ”

Gu Jue was a little unclear, and seeing her eagerness on her face, he hurriedly picked her up by the waist, and the two of them rushed out of the door.

When the two of them went outside, Yu Zhiyan suddenly covered his ears, but he heard a crackling sound in the house, and the windows were suddenly torn apart, and even the tiles on the roof fell to the ground.

Gu Jue's face was full of shock, and he turned his head and asked, "What is that?" ”

Yu Zhiyan's hand dropped from his ear, and then said angrily, "That's the fireworks and cannonballs I bought for you from the street, they are all weird, what has become of the house." ”

At this time, the maids and the little maids also rushed over, just thinking that something big had happened, and they looked terrified.

"Sir, ma'am, what is this?" Steward Wu hurriedly walked over and asked urgently.

The two troublemakers looked at each other, looking at each other's embarrassment, and felt more and more funny, and both of them held their stomachs and laughed.

In the end, Dong Lang stopped laughing and said, "Go and pack up the new house and come out." ”

Only then did everyone realize that it was the cannon that had ignited in the house, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, so they retreated.

At this time, Arnold, who heard about this, also hurried over, and then hugged Yu Zhiyan tightly, and said in a curious voice: "What did Daddy and Auntie do wrong?" ”

Yu Zhiyan then remembered that just now Gu Jue only lit the cloth bag of the cannonball, but the other one was safe and sound.

She hurriedly reached out and pinched her daughter's playful face, and said with a smile: "Daddy and Auntie will accompany you to set off fireworks." ”

Arnold liked these very much, like her father, and smiled so deeply that the two pear vortices were deeply imprinted, "Okay." ”

Seeing that her daughter liked it, Gu Jue had already forgotten what had just happened, so she took Arnold to the garden to set off fireworks.

One by one, the fireworks are brilliant. The sparks sparsely sparkled around, and then disappeared again. Immediately after that, another firework burst into the air, reflecting the smiling faces of a family of three.

Gu Jue finished letting go of some, and Arnold's giggling laughter kept coming from his ears, and when he turned his head, he saw Yu Zhiyan looking up at the fireworks in full bloom, and her eyes were more beautiful than fireworks.

And in the darkness in the distance, there was a faint woman standing, her eyes looking here, but there was endless hatred in her eyes.

At this time, Steward Wu was passing by her, and she suddenly stopped him, "Steward Wu, I want to see the emperor, you go and deliver a message to him." ”

Steward Wu's face changed, but then he said: "The slave is just a slave of the Chengguo Mansion, how can he see the saint?" ”

"But you are a slave given by the Holy God to the Chengguo Mansion, so you can naturally see the Holy One." Yu Zheshuang's voice was like a ghost, "I have something important to discuss with the emperor, if it is delayed, you can't afford it." ”

Steward Wu took the order, leaving Yu Zhishuang standing there alone.

The corners of her lips were slightly hooked, and there was an endless chill in her eyes, "Although the fireworks are beautiful, they are just a moment of joy, I want to see you."

How long can love last? ”

At this time, the fireworks had been exhausted, and Arnold was still unsatisfied with his slap.

Yu Zheshuang returned to her room, closed her eyes, still the gorgeous fireworks, her eyes tingled, but she didn't even feel the slightest sleep.

And just then, there was a crisp knock on the door.

The moonlight reflected the figure of the man on the window, so arrogant and dusty, as if all the complexity had nothing to do with him.

She put on her shoes, walked to the door and opened it, and the man dressed in white entered the room.

This Chengguo Mansion is really all in the hands of this high-ranking emperor, and he can appear here with a swagger, but who can turn a blind eye at night.

Yuehui sprinkled on his face, still so indifferent, "What is the matter with you looking for me?" ”

Yu Zhishuang laughed, and tears of laughter flowed out, but Feng Huang just waited quietly for her to finish laughing, and she was not impatient.

"We haven't seen each other for six years, and the prince of Nan'an, who was secretly alive at the beginning, has now become the emperor." There was sarcasm in her voice, "We also made a covenant in this Chengguo Mansion at the beginning, and now the old drama is repeated. ”

Feng Huang looked at her who was crazy, and couldn't help but sneer: "You have nothing now, so what can you exchange with me?" ”

Yu Zheshuang's face was cold, but his voice sounded like a ghost, "Now you still don't worry about Gu Jiu, but you can't move him." ”

What she said was not wrong, he had already announced to the world that as long as Gu Jue was willing to submit and hand over the jade seal, he would no longer be held responsible

If he repents now, will not all the people of the world say that he is treacherous?

I haven't seen it all these years, Yu Zheshuang is actually much smarter than he imagined, and now he looks like a poisonous snake spitting letters.

"But you also know that when it comes to marching and fighting, you are far inferior to Gu Jue." Yu Zhishuang said lightly: "Am I right, Holy Lord?" ”

In fact, what she said was not true, he was able to win the world at the beginning, but it was because Gu Yinglian only blindly looted the people's fat and people's ointment, and even killed innocents indiscriminately in the court.

At the beginning, the dynasty was corrupted, and the world supported him, the prince of Nan'an, but even if Gu Jue became the last of the strong crossbows, he still blocked his army for several months.

He won in the hearts of the people, and Gu Jue is a truly well-deserved god of war.

If he hadn't captured Gu Jue with a trick, the army in his hand would have been able to capture the capital with lightning speed, and those generals in the court might not be willing to fight Gu Jue at that time.

Feng Huang's eyes were full of calculations, "Anyway, what do you want?" ”

Yu Zheshuang's eyes showed ruthlessness, "I naturally have the ability to make Gu Jue obedient to you, as long as you can give me the title of Mrs. Gu?" ”

Now that Gu Jue is just a commoner, this matter is easy to do, Feng Huang sneered, "You are a smart person, you didn't disappoint me last time, and I hope you do the same this time." ”

At the beginning, Gu Yinglian was forced to be helpless, but she made Yu Zhiyan a first-class lady, but Gu Jue never used a sedan chair to welcome her into the door, even if Gu Jue doted on her again, she was just a concubine.

And at this moment, the voice of Liu Xuanwu, the waiter, came from outside, he seemed to be in a hurry, and he kept panting as he spoke.

"Your Majesty, come into the palace and take a look, Concubine Xian Niangniang fell in the palace somehow, and the child is afraid that she won't be able to save it."
