Chapter Thirty-Eight: I Think the Problem Is One-Sided
"Inferred." Da Ji Zhongyuan pointed to the emperor in the high place, and then pointed to the red-clothed concubine in the center of the stage, "Look, they are all very happy." If you keep being so happy, you can be regarded as having no regrets in this life, right? There is no obsession without regret, and it is impossible to leave a spiritual gossamer without obsession. β
"Now there is a spiritual gossamer, which means that the subject has regrets and nostalgia...... He is nostalgic because he has lost ......"
And the pain of loss is indeed a horror movie for people who have suffered from all kinds of love in the world.
As if in response to their inference, the grand scene of a hundred birds and a phoenix turned into white smoke, and a moment later, the scene in which Gu Gesang was placed turned into a court.
The civil and military officials wore straight court clothes and stood facing the emperor on the dragon chair, but the scene was very noisy, and everyone was talking about something with indignation.
"Your Majesty, if you don't get rid of the demon concubine, the world will be uneasy!"
"The flood in the southwest has caused tens of thousands of deaths and injuries, and a large number of affected people have been forced to move, however, this is not the most serious problem, the most serious problem is that the displaced people from the southwest seem to have brought the plague, and there have been several cases of high fever and sudden death around the capital, Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, you are the lord of the world and the father of all peoples!"
Although all of the courtiers who stood up to speak were blushing and thick-necked, the emperor on the dragon chair sat still and did not say a word, as if time had suddenly stood still when she arrived.
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!!"
The ministers stepped forward step by step, and finally knelt before the emperor.
The generals seemed to be standing still, but in fact they had already discussed how to use violence to hold each other hostage and force the emperor to kill his favorite concubine.
Gu Gesang broke out of Daji Zhongyuan's arms and walked quickly among these ministers who were frowning and discussing state affairs and people's affairs.
Walking down in a circle, she was furious.
"Natural disasters are the meaning of heaven, what does it have to do with people? Talking about red faces and bad water at every turn is clearly discriminating against women from the bones! When I read the history of the Tang Dynasty, I was very angry, because this is how those men forced Yang Yuhuan to death! But what did Yang Yuhuan do wrong? She's wrong for being a woman! β
Da Ji Zhongyuan stepped over and pulled the roaring lion cub in front of him back into his arms to protect him, "It's naturally wrong for them to forcibly attribute the appearance of the disaster to that woman. But it was precisely because of the unusualness of that woman that they felt fear and nervousness, and they could not tolerate such an anomaly. That's why they took this opportunity to get rid of her. β
"What's different about her?" Gu Gesang tilted his head and turned his head to look at him.
The surrounding scene changed again, and this time, Gu Gesang landed in the emperor's bedroom.
"Your Majesty, why don't you eat a little......" The eunuch in a high position knelt beside the emperor's bed, pleading with red eyes.
The emperor lay flat, his eyes closed quietly, as if asleep.
But after a few seconds, he suddenly said coldly, "Return my beloved concubine." Otherwise, I'll ......"
He paused, his belly rising and falling obviously, and then spoke again: "I, I want to abolish the prince." β
"Your Majesty!"
The entire dormitory knelt down, their faces pale.
The scene turned, this time in a damp and gloomy prison.
The delicate concubine was still looking like she was imprisoned, but she was very weak, lying on the musty hay, and from time to time there were squeaky mice with green eyes running around.
The beauty does not seem to be afraid of mice, but rats appear particularly deferential in front of her. They stood facing her, their front paws slightly raised, in a human-like gesture.
"Is she a youkai?" Gu Gesang asked the people around him again.
Da Ji Zhongyuan smiled noncommittally, "You keep reading." She and his spirit gossamer will definitely give you the answer. β
The picture flashed back to the emperor's bedroom, and many important ministers frowned in front of his bed, as if something great had happened.
"Your Majesty! There are so many people in His Royal Highness the Prince's mansion, and there are people cleaning it every day, and every corner can't escape the eyes of the guards, where do the rats come from? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he is brave and good at fighting, how could he be bitten by two rats for no reason? The truth of the events that the minister had guessed was about to come out, but he stopped at this point, leaving room for reverie and the last speculation to the emperor.
The Emperor deliberately did not follow his train of thought, raised one eyebrow on one side, and looked at the minister who spoke, "You mean, I sent someone to find a rat to bite my son?" β
"Your Majesty has misunderstood!"
"Within this border, there are not many forces that can send people to send the rat god into the prince's mansion unknowingly, and I have indeed said that I want to abolish the prince recently because the prince committed a crime and imprisoned my concubine - the two are connected, and the remarks of Shang Aiqing Fangcai do not mean that I used this way to mutilate my own blood and bones? Lord Huang, you are really my best love! The emperor slapped the armrest of the dragon chair heavily, and the house was shocked.
For the first time, Gu Gesang saw this always kind and pleasant emperor change his face, his sword eyebrows revealed a thick killing intent, and the coercion of the Ninety-Five Venerable made her feel a little chill down her spine, "I am the king of a country!" From the king's point of view, I can even rule this world, so why should I use such vile and filthy means to get rid of a person I don't like? From a father's point of view, tiger poison does not eat children! In Aiqing's heart, I can't even compare to a mountain beast! It can be seen from this that the true dragon emperor you keep saying is just a joke to deceive me! β
Although it is very ridiculous and funny, the emperor's anger is real, and the consequences can be imagined and terrible.
The courtier knelt forward with both knees, and said in a loud voice with a kind of righteousness that he was willing to give up his life, "Your Majesty! Stop deceiving yourself! You know it! Qingfei is simply a demon incarnation! How can a mortal be able to hide his body, how can he fly in the air, how can he heal without a trace in one day! Your Majesty! She's a demon, she's a demon! β
"My pillow person, don't I know better than you whether she is a human or a demon? She is just a simple and kind woman, my confidant, my only lover in this world! The Emperor's rebuttal was so weak, full of sorrow and unconvincing.
Seeing this, Gu Gesang sighed softly.
Da Ji Zhongyuan was amused by her appearance, and his eyes looked at him affectionately, "What are you thinking?" β
"He is a very affectionate person, but unfortunately he is the emperor." Gu Gesang's gaze still stopped at the emperor's face full of tragedy, "However, what makes me feel even more sad is not that he can't help himself, but that he doesn't know that Qing Concubine either." Maybe in his eyes, she is just a simple girl, but in my opinion, she will manipulate the mouse to bite the prince, which is not very good. β
"This time, it is difficult for this king to agree with Madame's words." Da Ji Zhongyuan pursed his lips and smiled, "Madame only saw these fragments of spiritual gossamer, can she judge a person's character based on this?" Madame doesn't know what humiliation Concubine Qing has suffered after being detained by the prince, and since others think that she is a monster, they will definitely not treat her humanely. Think about it from another perspective, if you are not harmless, but you are different from the ordinary people in this world, but they can't tolerate you, they forcibly pour dirty water on you, smear you, slander you, and even break you up and meβ"
"Well, my husband is right, I think the problem is one-sided." Gu Gesang interrupted Da Ji Zhongyuan, and replied crisply, quickly, and affirmatively.
She couldn't tell why, the few words that Da Ji Zhongyuan said just after she asked her to empathize failed to cause her mood to fluctuate, but as soon as she heard the sentence "Break you and me", her heart seemed to be torn apart by life, and her instinctive desire to win made her mind focus all on the idea of self-help, which is why she immediately gave a positive answer.
Da Ji Zhongyuan did not dwell on Gu Gesang's well-behaved attitude of admitting mistakes, he looked at the angry emperor and found a strong sense of identity. Immediately, I heard him say in an unusually serious manner, "If someone else hurts you like this, this king will repay it a hundred times and a thousand times." β
"Stand down! I'm going to rest! With a wave of the emperor's hand, the golden and brilliant dormitory in front of Gu Gesang and them disappeared.
After a period of darkness, the scene shifted to the emperor's imperial study. The emperor was reviewing the recital on the side of the case, when the queen suddenly broke in and knelt beside the emperor's lap.
"Your Majesty! Please save Jin'er! Jin'er is our son, and he is the successor of your Jiangshan Sheji! Your Majesty, don't you remember that after Jin'er learned to speak, the first person who shouted was his father? He is the closest child to His Majesty! The queen burst into tears and cried heartbreakingly.
The emperor withdrew the hem of his gold-embroidered dragon robe from the empress's hand with a cold expression, "I have sent the best imperial doctor in the palace, and I have also issued a holy decree to find a divine doctor who can heal my son within the borders, what else does the empress think I can do to fulfill my father's responsibility?" β
"Your Majesty......" The queen bit her lower lip tightly, and a line of blood was already oozing from her red lips, "I beg Your Majesty to order Concubine Qing to raise her noble hand and let the prince go!" β
"Nonsense." The emperor indifferently withdrew his gaze that stopped on the empress, "After the previous misunderstanding, Concubine Qing has been frightened and wronged too much. I am hindered by the discussion and suspicion of the courtiers, and I have decreed that Concubine Qing will be grounded in Yongle Palace forever, as the queen and the mother of a country, why are you so narrow-minded, and you have refused to let Concubine Qing go so far? The prince's illness has nothing to do with her, so don't listen to rumors, do stupid things, and say stupid things! I still have all the people to take care of, and there are still the catechists of the country, you can step aside! β
Obviously, the empress did not give up after being rejected by the emperor.
In the blink of an eye, Gu Gesang saw the queen appear at the gate of Yongle Palace.
She is a noble queen above ten thousand people under one person, but she knelt in the drizzle facing Yongle Palace, and she was unmoved by anyone who persuaded her or helped her.
"Azuru, I beg you! I beg you! You let Jin'er go! Thousands of mistakes, all of them are the fault of my godson, you can forgive him this time! β
