Chapter 157: My Sister's Threat
The queen's hand trembled slightly, as if she never thought that she would say such a thing, and couldn't help but be surprised, and said in astonishment: "What did you say? ”
Yu Zhiyan is a smart person, she knows that Concubine Xian's child must not be born, and she understands Feng Huang, the reason why he promotes Concubine Xian so much is just because he wants to force the queen to do it.
Lin Caohua was involved in too many things, she might have been able to deal with Yu Zhiyan with the princess in Nan'an Palace, but she didn't dare to easily ask for a child in the belly of a concubine as a queen.
And Yu Zhiyan was unwilling to do such a hurtful thing, but for Gu Jue, he was willing to give everything.
Even though the queen didn't have a trace of waves on her face, Yu Zhiyan could clearly see that her hands were trembling a little, "What conditions do you want this palace to promise?" ”
Hearing this, Yu Zhiyan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, she knew that the murderous deal was negotiated.
"I just want Lord Lin to save Donglang's life in the court." Yu Zhiyan looked directly at the queen, "If Gu Jue is willing to submit to the saint." ”
Lin Caohua is also a smart person, she suddenly understood what Yu Zhiyan was planning, and now her father is also a powerful figure in the court, and now this deal is worth it for her, at least to help her get rid of the big trouble in her heart.
Yu Zhiyan stayed in the queen's palace for two hours before leaving, and none of the palace maids and chamberlains went in to serve, so no one knew what the two of them had discussed.
When she came to the Jinluan Palace, Liu Xuanwu seemed to have been waiting for her for a long time, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw her coming.
"Where's Arnold?" Yu Zhiyan asked lightly.
Liu Xuanwu bowed, "Back to Mrs., the girl was tired of playing today, so she fell asleep in the Jinluan Palace, but the emperor is waiting for you." ”
When Yu folded the smoke into the Jinluan Palace, he saw Feng Huang sitting thoughtfully on the dragon chair, in front of him was a thick stack of folds, and the front was a bright piece of paper.
His whole face was a little obscure, but his thin lips were pursed, which made his eyes even more scorching.
Seeing her coming, Feng Huang slowly raised his head, and then looked at her with a cold look, "Where have you been?" ”
Yu Zhiyan couldn't answer and wouldn't answer, just looked at him expressionlessly.
At this time, Feng Huang threw the letter that was close at hand in front of her, and Yu Zhiyan didn't take it, but just let it fall lightly to the ground.
"This is a letter that someone threw in front of the palace gate." Feng Huang looked directly into her eyes, as if he didn't want to miss any expression in her eyes, "Those traitors are willing to submit to me, but they want to let Gu Jue go." ”
Yu Zhiyan slowly picked up the letter, and without looking at it, he knew what was written in it.
"You are so embarrassed now, it's just that you don't dare to move Gu Jiu easily." Yu Zhiyan said lightly, "I am waiting for the emperor's decree." ”
After speaking, she didn't look at Gu Jue's face, but just went straight to the dragon couch behind the Jinluan Palace and took the sleeping Arnold away.
Things seemed to be faster than Yu Zhiyan thought, and even God was unwilling to take Gu Jue's life.
On the second day after Yu Zhiyan left the palace, the ministers of the court and the central government all wrote to the emperor to ask the emperor to pardon Gu Jue and those guards, and demote the abolished emperor Feng Hao to the rank of commoner.
The four years of comfort and enjoyment have made these generals afraid of the days of licking blood on the tip of the knife, and even the queen's father is bent on interceding with Gu Jue.
The emperor soon issued an order to agree to the request, and soon there were people hiding in the market gathered in the capital, and there were even guards in gold and iron armor who came from nowhere.
These days, Yu Zhiyan only stayed at home, and those things were constantly mentioned by the guards, and only said that those officials and rich men in the city went to welcome their loved ones who had not seen him for four years, and how happy they wept.
The deposed emperor sent to the capital was imprisoned in the royal palace, where his mother, the Empress Dowager Gu, had scavenged the people's fat and ointment, but he didn't expect it to become a prison for his son.
And on the day Feng Huang got the jade seal of the country, Gu Jue was released from the prison.
Feng Huang remembered Gu Jue's ancestral exploits, so he returned the Chengguo Mansion to him again.
Although the huge Chengguo Mansion was abandoned for four years, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and it was still a place of extreme luxury.
Gu Jue was going to enter the palace to thank him, and under the attention of the people in the court, he thanked the saint for his kindness at the Xuanwu Gate, and then returned to the Chengguo Mansion.
People look at him as wearing ordinary people's clothes, but he still has a kind of elegance.
The people in Beijing did not hate him, although he supported the abolition of the emperor, but he was also a general who drove out the Huns, and he also made great military achievements.
Yu Zhiyan was waiting for him in front of the Chengguo Mansion, and it was surprisingly warm that day, as if the biting cold winter had passed.
The plaque of the Chengguo Mansion has been removed, and the vermilion gate is also a little mottled.
Arnold jumped up and down excitedly, pulling Yu Zhe cigarette and asking questions.
Yu Zhiyan stroked her cheek with her warm hand, and then said lightly: "This will be Arnold's home in the future." ”
Arnold pouted his small mouth and just wanted to ask, but he saw Gu Jue get down from the carriage, and the moment he saw Yu Zhiyan and Arnold, he stood there in a daze.
And Arnold saw Gu Jue running over like a gust of wind, and when Gu Jue held her tightly in her arms, she called out in a childish voice, "Daddy." ”
Yu Zhiyan only stood aside, and there were many people on the street, whispering one by one, so that the tears in Yu Zhiyan's eyes still flowed back.
At this time, Gu Jue had already walked over with Arnold in his arms, and then slowly spoke, "Let's go, let's go home." ”
After he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand, and Yu Zhiyan also covered his hand, and then entered the Chengguo Mansion together.
However, after returning to the mansion, Yu Zhiyan realized that things were far from being as simple as imagined, because even the minions in the mansion were rewarded by Fenghuang.
He rewarded eighty servants, as well as the servants of the kitchen, and twenty servants.
Yu Zhiyan knew that everything about her and Gu Jue was under the control of the God King.
And the room between her and Gu Jue was also cleaned up, and it was still the room of the two of them, although the valuable things had been moved away before the house was raided.
But now that I'm back, it's like a world away, and I can't help but sigh.
Once inside, Arnold excitedly ran out into the yard, where there were only two people left.
Yu Zhenyan's words pressed in his heart didn't come out at this time, and he only looked at Gu Jue with tears in his eyes.
But Gu Jue came over and hugged her fiercely in his arms, although the wound on his body was still faintly painful when he hugged her, but he did not let go of her.
"You idiot." Gu Jue said lightly, "Didn't I come back, what are you crying about?" ”
These days, she was just pretending to be strong, but now that he was in front of his eyes, all the tears and grievances suddenly spread.
She lay in his arms, crying miserably, "Do you know how worried I am about you? ”
He was moved in his heart, just thinking that now he had nothing, but he could still stay with her for a long time, and he felt that everything was worth it.
Just when the two of them were in deep love, there were footsteps outside, and through the curtain, Yu Zhiyan faintly heard, "Master, madam, there are guests outside." ”
Now that they have been reduced to this, there is no one left who can come. It's not Gu Jue's subordinates, but now in the imperial city, they can't wait to have nothing to do with Gu Jue.
The messenger placed the guest in the main hall, and Yu Zhiyan and Gu Jue went together.
Dong Lang walked in front, he stepped into the hall first, Yu Zhiyan only followed behind him, and then he heard Gu Jue's unbelievable voice, "Why are you still alive?" ”
His words made Yu Zhiyan, who was closely behind her, stunned, and when he stepped into the threshold, he saw his sister Yu Zhishuang.
Unlike Gu Jue's shocked face, Yu Zhiyan was full of joy, she hurriedly stepped forward, held Yu Zhishuang's hand tightly, and shouted excitedly, "Sister, why did you come to see me, could it be that you forgive me." ”
Her sister was full of gentleness and obedience, and said in a very light tone: "After you left, I ransomed myself with the money I earned, and then went to Beijing to find you, I only have a sister like you, where can I go if I don't stay by your side?" ”
Gu Jue understood something at this time, and only asked Yu Zhiyan with a gloomy face: "Have you seen her a long time ago?" ”
Yu Zhiyan saw his sister's joy, and was all interrupted by his cold questioning voice, and then said lightly: "Actually, I saw my sister when I missed the appointment in Jiangnan that day, but she has been floating outside all these years, and she is very miserable. ”
She almost subconsciously wanted to hide her sister's unbearable years over the years, just to make her lose face in front of Donglang.
And Yu Zheshuang seemed to be a little moved under his eyes, and there were dots of tears in those watery eyes.
"Where do you live now?" Yu Zhiyan's voice was full of concern.
But Yu Zheshuang glanced at Gu Jue who was standing aside, and then said slowly: "It's just the grass without roots, floating around, just thinking that since I will sell it to someone else's house again, it is better to serve you in the Chengguo Mansion."
Yu Zhiyan knew what her sister was thinking, she was just embarrassed by Gu Jue's old feelings and wanted to stay by his side.
How could Gu Jue, a shrewd person, not see this, the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and he only sneered: "I remember that I had already written a letter of resignation to you."
Now we have nothing to do with it, if you are a slave or a servant, just go elsewhere, we have a low threshold of Chengguo Mansion, and we can't accommodate your big Buddha. ”
Yu Zhiyan didn't want Yu Zhishuang to stay, but she still couldn't refuse, this was her own sister, the best person in the world to treat her.
When Yu Zhishuang heard this, tears rolled down, and she choked up: "Donglang, you are so ruthless." ”
After saying that, she wanted to rush outside like crazy, but before Yu Zhiyan could catch up, she heard a "coo-dong" sound.
At this time, there was a maid in the courtyard who exclaimed, "Someone, someone has jumped into the pool." ”
Originally, there was a lotus pond in the northwest corner of the main hall, which was originally not deep, but because no one took care of it over the years, the water has become deeper and deeper, and now it can flood people.
Yu Zhiyan was so frightened that her whole body trembled, and she hurriedly ran outside with a pale face, but Gu Jue suddenly grabbed her arm.
"She's just singing with you, your sister seems to have completely changed a person, if you fall into her trap, I'm afraid that you will suffer in the future." His gaze was deep, and he said this almost through gritted teeth.
Yu Zhiyan shook off his hand, and then said: "But what can I do, she is my sister, I can't see death without help." ”
After saying that, she went straight outside, but saw that the little girls had already gone into the water to fish for their sister.
When Yu Zheshuang was fished out of the water, this person was already like a chicken in the soup, and now it is winter, and the water is still full of ice slag, how much she has suffered can be imagined.
Yu Zhishuang's mood was very unstable, and she shouted in a weak voice: "Why don't you let me die, why bother to save me." ”
Seeing his sister like this, Yu Zhiyan couldn't help but mourn in her heart, and hurriedly cried: "Sister, why are you so hard. ”
After saying that, she hurriedly ordered someone to send her sister back to the house, and when she saw that she was wet, she reached out to untie her big body.
Who knew that as soon as her hand was placed on the strap on her chest, a pair of cold hands grabbed her, and then Gu Jue said in a complicated voice, "Your body is so delicate, don't move." ”
As he spoke, he took off his cloak and threw it on Yu Zheshuang's body with an expressionless face.
That Yu Zheshuang's eyes were full of gratitude and joy, and he called his name in a low voice, "Donglang-"
Gu Jue turned around and ignored her. Yu Zhiyan ordered the little maid to send her sister to the house quickly, and then sent her over with charcoal.
And Yu Zhishuang had already fainted when he returned to the house, Yu Zhiyan hurriedly invited the doctor to come over, only diagnosed and treated, and only said that there was no major problem.
Yu Zhiyan personally went to the kitchen to cook a bowl of ginger soup, because no one had cooked it in the Chengguo Mansion for a long time, and even weeds grew on the stove, and Yu Zhiyan was already covered with dust after cooking, and he was very embarrassed.
When she walked outside with the freshly cooked ginger soup, she saw a tall figure blocking in front of her, and when she raised her eyes, it was Gu Jue's eyes full of complexity.
He casually stuffed a bag of silver into her arms, and said lightly, "Now there is no gold or silver in the Chengguo Mansion, I ordered someone to tear down the windows of two rooms and take them out to exchange for silver, which is enough for her to live." ”
He thought about how annoyed she would be, but she nodded faintly, "Okay." ”
Seeing that she agreed to such a happy face, his face was a little complicated, "I didn't think I would be angry." ”
"I thank you." Her voice was flat. "Donglang."
