Chapter Seventy-Four: Hiding People in the House
Yu Zhiyan was carrying things to the car with several palace maids, all of which were personally rewarded by the queen mother, all kinds of treasures, as well as the silver of the reward, loaded into two carriages.
Grandpa Sun just wanted to talk to her, but Yu Zhiyan didn't pay attention to him at all.
After he went to the Chengguo Mansion to announce the queen's decree, Gu Jue slowly stood up from the ground, and made a gesture casually, but saw Yu Zhiyan slowly walking to his side.
Because today is Gu Jue's birthday, the palace maids all wore red clothes to show their festivity, and Yu Zhiyan wore a wide red dress behind her, elegant and luxurious. The black jade-like green silk is simply tied in a flying fairy bun, and a few full and round pearls are embellished in the hair.
Gu Jue hugged her petite body violently, and then kissed her lightly on the cheek.
Everyone knew that he was in the form of Meng Lang, and he didn't know the etiquette, but he didn't expect to be unaware of it in front of the public, and he couldn't help lowering his eyes.
The front of the hall was suddenly silent, Sun Xi knelt on the ground sweating, and his original arrogant look was completely gone.
Gu Jue took Yu Zhiyan's hand and slowly sat down on the chair of the main seat, and the two of them sat side by side, like a husband and wife with one heart and one mind.
"Grandpa Sun, General Ben has heard about how you have bullied and folded cigarettes these days, it seems that you are really tired of living." Gu Jue's voice was full of anger, and he had always looked down on these eunuchs, so naturally he didn't have a good face.
Yu Zhiyan supported her forehead with her hand, and looked at Sun Xi with a smug face, her grievances in the past few days were finally all out today.
She took a cup of tea and slowly passed it to his mouth, and he smiled and drank it slowly from her hand.
The beauty was on her side, and Gu Jue was full of enjoyment.
Soon Gu Jue let the irrelevant people retreat, and there were only three of them left in the room, as well as a few of Gu Jue's cronies.
Sun Xi is naturally a shrewd person, knowing that the situation is not right, he is busy kowtowing and begging for mercy, "General Gu will spare the minions, and the minions will never dare to embarrass Miss Yu for half a point in the future." ”
The more Gu Jue thought about it, the more angry he became, he took the whip in the guard's hand and beckoned to Sun Xi, and he suddenly rolled on the ground in pain, screaming oops.
"General Gu, if you want to beat and scold the minions, why do you have to do it yourself." Sun Xi got up from the ground and stretched out his hand and slapped him in the face a few times.
Suddenly, there were a few red slap marks on his white face, and his lips were swollen high.
Yu Zhiyan looked at this eunuch who shook his head and tail like a pug and became more and more disgusted.
Gu Jue sneered: "Now I will be obedient, and today I will take your dog's life." ”
Sun Xi's eyes rolled, there was a hint of treachery in his eyes, and a trace of bad premonition came to his heart in a trance, "The slave is sorry for Miss Yu a few times, but it is also for her good." ”
"Then General Ben will kill you today, and it is also for your good." Gu Jue snorted coldly: "Dog minion, no one can save you today." ”
Sun Xi is really a shrewd person, he only told Gu Jue exactly how Yu Zhiyan calculated him that day, plus his oil and vinegar, it seems that Yu Zhiyan really has an indescribable relationship with Na Qinrong.
Gu Jue's face gradually became ugly, and he and Yu Zhiyan saw that there was originally a deep thorn, and now it was completely picked open and exposed to everyone's eyes.
Yu Zhiyan really underestimated him, how could she be an opponent who had been immersed in the deep palace for many years.
"General Gu, the queen mother has always tabooed men and women in the harem to have private affairs, and Miss Yu is protective of Naqin Rong in every way." Sun Xi's eyes picked up a glance at Yu Zhiyan, "If Miss Yu doesn't suffer the sins of some slaves, how can the queen mother spare him." ”
He really has a clever mouth that can speak well, but it was completely turned over in just a few words.
Suddenly a gust of wind blew her clothes and ribbons, and she felt a chill to her bones, how could she explain it.
The air in the room suddenly condensed, Gu Jue looked at him slowly, and sneered: "Sun Xi, you are really shrewd to frame and provoke like this. ”
Sun Xi never expected that Gu Jue's temper would be able to endure it, and he couldn't help but feel like ashes.
"General Gu, you spare the slave this time." She knew that she was in a catastrophe, "You can beat and scold the slave like this, but the slave is a person in the palace after all, and his life is also the queen's." ”
Gu Jue's foot kicked him the shoulder, "I won't do any good to kill you, if you don't worship your ancestors with Yu Folding Cigarettes in the future, I will take your life." ”
Father-in-law Sun hurriedly kowtowed and said yes, so naturally he didn't dare to disobey Gu Jue's words again.
Gu Jue naturally refused to let him go, but only asked someone to lock him up in the stable, and only let him go back to the palace after the birthday banquet.
Thinking about it, Sun Xi is also flying and domineering in the palace, who doesn't flatter, and now he has suffered such a shameful humiliation, how can he not hate it in his heart.
After Gu Jue told everyone to retreat, he looked at Yu Zhiyan with complicated eyes, "You still can't let him go, can you?" You love him so much, you must not forget that he has given you a letter of resignation. ”
"I have no love for him for a long time, but there are some things that I can't break even if I want to." She closed her eyes and let herself sink into endless pain.
Before she opened her eyes again, she only felt a tightness around her waist, and her body suddenly took off into the air, and she was beaten and hugged by him.
Yu Zhiyan only felt dizzy in his head, and involuntarily hugged his arm.
Gu Jue carried her into the inner room, leaned over and put her on the brocade couch, outside the window was a turquoise jade bamboo, and the mottled shadow fell on Yi's face, which was a little vague for a while.
She only felt a chill on her chest, and his shirt was torn apart, and half of the outer shirt slid down her shoulders, revealing the white skin inside.
"Don't." Yu Zhiyan came back to his senses suddenly, covered his clothes, and dodged to the corner of the bed in a hurry.
She looked at her coldly, and there seemed to be a sharp edge in the corner of her eyes, "If you say that you don't have any love for him anymore, why do you reject me like this today?" ”
Yu Zhiyan was out of breath for a while, and his heart was beating rapidly. She still slowly stretched out her hand and slowly stroked his cheek, "Donglang." ”
He leaned over again, and the hot breath swept over him.
Gradually, Yu Zhiyan watched his clothes fade away, his snow-white skin was exposed in front of him, and everything became lingering and ambiguous.
"It's time for your birthday to begin, do you want to delay it?" Yu Zhiyan sighed lightly and pushed his shoulder.
Gu Jue buried her face in her black bun and said impatiently, "What about him?" ”
The ambiguity in the room is gone, but the warm fragrance still exists, and the endless romance is scattered.
Yu Zheyan's red clothes can no longer be wanted, Gu Jue only asked people to bring the clothes over, and I don't know where those subordinates found them, and they are extravagant.
The green long skirt is embroidered with light blue peonies on the cuffs, the silver thread outlines a few auspicious clouds, the hem is densely packed with a row of blue sea clouds, and the chest is wrapped in a wide piece of pale yellow brocade.
Wearing this one, where is it something that a slave should use. She only said that it was not in accordance with the rules, and she was about to replace it, but she was stopped by him, "I said that you can use it if you use it." ”
Yu Zhiyan couldn't resist him, so he had to dress again.
Gu Jue looked at her carefully, and said slowly: "Today is my birthday, I won't come empty-handed, it's really stingy, it's so embarrassing." ”
She looked at the sarcasm on his face, and couldn't help but blush, "The queen mother gave you so many things, why do you have to care about me, besides, didn't you say that the slave can send it or not?" ”
When Gu Jue heard this, he really turned his face and became ruthless again, "When what I said was taken as a holy decree, I don't want to send it at all." ”
Yu Zhiyan sighed, hurriedly picked up the clothes on the ground, but took out a pair of brand-new shoes from his sleeve.
The fabric of the shoes is not of the highest quality, but the stitching and embroidery on them are excellent, which shows that a lot of thought has been put into it.
Gu Jue frowned and took it, and a trace of joy gradually appeared in his eyes, unlike the appearance of not giving up just now.
"How did you give away the shoes in a good way?" Although his tone was disgusted, his feet had involuntarily stretched into his shoes.
"Didn't you give me one that day?" Yu Zhiyan remembered that he once gave himself an old shoe with a hole, "I thought you would like it." ”
Gu Jue put on the shoes, the shoes were a little small, it seemed that she was really busy in vain, but he still tried his best to put them in, maybe he didn't want Yu Zhiyan to be disappointed.
He suddenly thought of something, "You really didn't think of the meaning of that shoe, or are you yelling at me here?" ”
Yu Zhiyan's face was dazed, she spread her hands, her face was full of innocence, "The slave really doesn't know, or you tell me, I'll think about it again." ”
Gu Jue's face showed a hint of complexity, "Forget it, don't mention this matter again in the future, just follow me to the banquet hall." ”
After he finished speaking, he took Yu Zhiyan's hand and walked out of the house, and there were many people in the house, and they couldn't help but look at Yu Zhiyan beside him.
Some knew her, some didn't know her, but most of them showed complicated eyes, and Yu Zhiyan was already surprised by this, and ignored them.
Until the banquet hall, although Gu Jue is no longer there, it has already been full, amber wine, jasper, golden foot bottles, jade plates, food is picturesque, wine is like a spring, the guqin is rippling, and the bells are dingdong.
As soon as Gu Jue came, everyone immediately raised their glasses and stood up, and congratulations came from all directions.
Yu Zhiyan had never seen such a big battle, especially since he was surrounded by people who were either rich or noble, so he couldn't help but take half a step back.
Gu Jue held her hand tightly, and her cold hand gradually had a trace of warmth.
Everyone's eyes involuntarily fell on Yu Zhiyan beside Gu Jue, as if they wanted to know what her identity was.
There are only men at the birthday banquet, except for the servant girl who serves, she is the only woman, I think she must be Gu Jue's favorite woman, and she can stand beside him and listen to everyone to congratulate her.
A man who didn't look very shrewd walked over slowly with a wine glass, "What a match made in heaven with the general and his wife." ”
Yu Zhiyan's body stiffened, and he just wanted to explain, but he heard Gu Jue smile and raise the wine glass handed over by the maids, "Thank you Lord Cheng for such a compliment, I'm really ashamed." ”
She stayed by Gu Jue's side for a moment and didn't leave until the banquet was over, and it was time for her to enter the palace to resume her life.
Gu Jue was already a little drunk, and he muttered, "The truth will keep you by your side, and you won't be sent back for the rest of your life." ”
Although it was a joke, Yu Zhiyan still felt that her heart was tight, and even she didn't know why she was reluctant to leave.
Gu Jue personally sent her outside the mansion, and then watched her and the other palace maids get into the carriage.
It wasn't until he walked far away that Yu Zhiyan slowly lifted the curtain, but saw that Dong Lang's figure was still in front of the Chengguo Mansion, looking at their carriage from afar, like a scroll painting.
Yu Zhiyan returned to the palace, she was wearing the clothes given to her by Gu Jue, so naturally she couldn't go back to her life, so she could only go back and change her clothes.
But Sun Xi went directly to the queen's palace, without even changing her clothes, she was embarrassed, and she was stuck with straw.
The queen only asked him to enter the inner hall, and Sun Xi knelt in front of the queen through the screen.
"Queen Mother, the old face of the slave is gone, you better send the slave away, the slave will no longer have the face to serve the master." He cried old tears, and his liver and intestines were broken.
The queen must have known about the beating he was beaten, and I saw the queen slowly helped out by the palace maid and slowly sat on the chair.
Sun Xi is the queen's confidant, even if the queen's mother doesn't punish Gu Jue and Yu Zhiyan, she has to comfort him.
After all, he has no face in this experience, and now this is the only chance for him to raise his head in the palace in the future.
The queen's stomach was already bulging, and she was a little awkward to sit on the chair, she leaned back on the cushion, "Sun Xi, you said that this face of yours is amazing, right?" ”
Sun Xi saw that the queen's voice was cold, and he didn't mean to lift him up at all, so he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, "The slave is afraid of losing your face, after all, the slave is the person next to you." ”
The queen lifted the lid of the tea and took a sip slowly, "You are just a dog next to the palace, you may still have face in front of others, but you are a beast in front of Donglang." ”
Hearing this, Sun Xi knew that it was too late to regret it, "The slave lost his word, you spare my dog's life." ”
The queen's face was still unfazed, "A few days ago, you actually argued with Dong Lang in front of the palace, and these are what you deserve." ”
Sun Xi said, "Yes,"
Only then did the queen say: "Yu Zhiyan, that girl will tolerate her for a while, this palace doesn't want to turn her face with Donglang for her now, I will ask someone to send the best medicine for the wound to the past, you are so resting." ”
This is just a common method used by the queen, and after a meal and a sweet date, he is no longer surprised, "Xie Niangniang." ”
Sun Xi came out of the inner hall, and immediately a grim smile appeared on his face, he patted the dust on his body, gritted his teeth, and said, "There will be a day when you will all pay the price." ”
However, when he stepped out of the palace door, he immediately changed again, "Yo, the cigarette girl is here, and the queen is still waiting for you to return to life." ”
Yu Zhiyan saw that he knew the folds on his face, and couldn't help but feel very fake, but he didn't pay attention to it, and just wanted to go up the steps.
But he didn't care about her disgusted eyes, and said with a smile, "The girl's bedding is only afraid of being dirty, so I will order someone to send it to you, and if you want to lack anything in the future, just tell me, and I will prepare it for you." ”
Yu Zhiyan saw that he was bowing his body and lifting his head very strangely, and laughed with a snort, "I think of one thing when Grandpa Sun is like this." ”
Before he could speak, he said to the palace maid standing beside him, "You see if he looks like a green-haired turtle." ”
The palace maid covered her mouth and laughed when she heard this, but she didn't dare to say anything.
Yu Zhiyan ignored Grandpa Sun's face and went straight to the hall.
The queen only asked her a few words, and then let Yu Zhiyan come back, but she was a rare reward for some pastries, saying that she had worked hard today.
She was walking into her room with her pastries, but a figure stood in front of her.
The eyes of the man in the dark are wrinkled and shining, and his black hair moves with the wind, as if there are thousands of threads. It's just that he no longer has the light ink fragrance of the past, and all that remains is the incense in the queen's palace.
"Is there something wrong?" In a trance, Yu Zhiyan felt an intracardiac arrest.
"Don't humiliate Sun Xi so much in front of people in the future, you don't know what kind of person he is, and you just don't know how powerful his methods are behind his back." His voice was light, as if it could be blown away in the wind at any moment.
Yu Zhiyan stared into this Qin Rong's eyes, as if he wanted to see him thoroughly, "Shouldn't you be happy that he bullied you like that?" ”
Qin Rong looked at the deep moonlight, "Don't think that Gu Jue can protect you, in the end, I'm afraid that he will be the one who hurts you the most." ”
A wave of anger spread from her heart, "Then who should I believe?" Sealed phoenix? He was the one who calculated against me at the beginning, and now he is just a coward who does not dare to recognize me. ”
Qin Rong's eyes had a trace of welling up, but then disappeared, "Stay away from Gu Jue, do you think he really forgot that you killed his parents, he is just taking revenge on you, you are just being blinded by love now." ”
Yu Zhiyan sneered and retreated, "I won't listen to your words, and I won't doubt Gu Jue." ”
When she had finished speaking, she walked over his body and turned away, not caring about his lonely and desolate figure in the moonlight, and the shadow of the mast fell on him like a sharp dagger, splitting him in two.
Without the difficulties of Sun Gonggong, Yu Zhiyan's days were very comfortable, and Sun Xi really respected her like an ancestor, and he tried his best to please her in front of people.
Yu Zhiyan has never bothered with him anymore, and he is passable in terms of face.
However, Gu Jue did not come back these days, although Yu Zhiyan knew that nothing serious would happen to him, he was still full of worries.
She had never been so desperate to see him, and perhaps even she herself had not realized that she might be really in love with him.
Until this day, Yu Zhiyan fell asleep early, and she faintly saw the white figure quietly entering the queen's palace through the window screen, and then faintly heard the sound of the piano.
She had some insomnia, but even she knew why, but she was alone in bed without sleep, only pinching Gu Jue's hair in a daze.
In a trance, she heard what seemed to be the sound of hurried footsteps outside, and the sound of the guards' blades slashing on the stones, cutting through the night of Cen Jing one by one.
She realized something in a trance, and hurriedly got up and pushed open a crack in the window, and faintly saw that it was actually the palace guards lined up in front of the queen's bedroom.
Immediately, a bright yellow figure slowly looked like a palace in the front and back hugs, even the prince who did not have the appearance of an emperor, put on that dragon robe, and there was a bit of majesty.
"Qin Rong is still in the queen's palace." Yu Zhiyan suddenly realized something, and a chill spread down his cold ankles.
But what can she do, she just hopes that the emperor will never see her queen sleeping on the same bed with the violinist.
In a trance, there was movement from the back window of the room, and she suddenly felt a creepy, and just wanted to check the lamp, but was suddenly held down.
"It's me." Qin Rong's voice came from the darkness, and Yu Zhiyan's frightened eyes lifted, and he vaguely saw his angular face.
He was only wearing a thin bedclothes, and the green silk on his head was also a little scattered, presumably he ran out in a hurry and did not let the emperor find out.
She reluctantly breathed a sigh of relief, "You're okay." ”
The man didn't speak, but then Moonlight looked at the few pieces of cloth on her table, which were the small clothes she had made for Moshu, but he saw them.
His gaze was blurred in the darkness, but she faintly felt a hint of sadness.
"I don't know how old he is and whether he can wear it." Yu Zhiyan passed the cloth in his hand in a trance, and gently rubbed the lifelike sparrow on it with his fingers.
"He's small and he's light." Qin Rong said slowly, "The last time I saw him, he was still that young. ”
As soon as these words came out, Yu Zhiyan knew that he had admitted in front of him that he was Feng Huang and her former husband.
"Why are you by the Queen's side?" She looked out the window at the heavy soldiers and lowered her voice, "Why are you putting up with this, is it just to live?" ”
Feng Huang's eyes showed hatred, "I just want power." ”
Yu Zhiyan was a little inexplicable, and just wanted to say something, but through the window, he saw a man covered in armor slowly leaning towards the door of his house, like a thief, with gentle steps.
There was a hint of surprise in his eyes, and he didn't know what to do, but he heard his door being watched.
Immediately, Gu Jue's deliberately lowered voice came, "Folding smoke, it's me." ”
Yu Zhiyan couldn't help but glance at Feng Huang beside him, his eyes were full of complexity. Yu Zhiyan pointed to the cabinet next to him and motioned for him to hide inside.
However, Feng Huang didn't have the slightest intention of hiding in, Yu Zhiyan nervously pulled his sleeve and looked at him with a begging face.
If Gu Jue knew that he was here, and made a fuss according to his temper, no one would survive.
Feng Huang sighed softly, and then got into the one-person-high bamboo cabinet, and then closed the door, and the people outside couldn't see it at all.
Yu Zhiyan let out a long sigh of relief and opened the door with trembling hands.
Seeing her driving so slowly, Gu Jue couldn't help but look ugly, "Why is it so ink, could it be that there are people hiding in the house?" ”
