Gu Mingzhu didn't expect the queen of heaven's illness to be so serious, she had already fainted, no wonder she saw the appearance of the queen of heaven when she was in the Manna Palace.

She frowned and thought about it for a while, then loosened her brows, smiled slightly and said to Princess Anping: "Niangniang is too hardworking, just now when I went to invite An, I saw that she was in good spirits, and His Royal Highness was relieved." ”

Princess Anping pursed her lips and lowered her head with an unhappy expression: "A-Niang is willing to see you, but why don't you want to see me." ”

Gu Mingzhu smiled and took her hand: "Your Highness is young, her body is important, Niangniang is unwilling to let His Highness be sick and worried, so she refuses to teach His Highness to pass." ”

Princess Anping raised her head and looked at her, her eyes full of grievances: "Is this really the case?" ”

Gu Mingzhu persuaded for a while, her face looked good, and she sighed softly: "Mingzhu, you don't know, there has been a lot of rumors in the palace these days, and they all say that A-Niang is very sick, so this time I handed over the matter of worshiping the emperor's mausoleum to Concubine De Niangniang." ”

She began to worry again, and pulled Gu Mingzhu: "Mingzhu, what did you say happened to A-Niang?" ”

What happened to the queen of heaven, Gu Mingzhu also wanted to know, if she was not seriously ill, she would not let such rumors in the palace go unnoticed, she has lived in the middle palace for many years, she will not know, sometimes gossip will become the fuse that shakes the fundamentals.

But her worries couldn't be told to Princess Anping, so she could only comfort her softly for a long time.

Zhou Chuchu brought the maidservant into the palace and interrupted Gu Mingzhu and Princess Anping's conversation.

She was still dressed in a luxurious and bright dress, the silk inlaid treasure on her head was dazzling, Rong Chang's face was full of arrogance, she came over step by step, saluted Princess Anping, and then glanced at Gu Mingzhu, and laughed out loud: "The lord of Lingling is back, I said that there is a smell of the market in this palace." ”

Gu Mingzhu smiled, and her eyes swept over her outfit: "These days, the county lord of Changping has helped Concubine De Niangniang to do some worship, and it has been hard. ”

Zhou Chuchu sneered, turned around and sat down on the couch: "Worshipping the emperor's mausoleum is not a trivial matter, it is related to the ancestral society, naturally it can't be as simple as the previous Chongyang Palace banquet, everything has to be thought about, so as not to lose the royal dignity." ”

Princess Anping has been in a bad mood for the sake of the queen of heaven, looking at her smug appearance, she didn't like it even more, and said: "Since Chu Chu is so bothered, there is no need to talk with him here, go down and rest, it's good to have Mingzhu to talk to me." ”

Zhou Chuchu didn't expect that he had just come in and didn't say a word, but he was ordered to be evicted by Princess Anping, but he left Gu Mingzhu to accompany him in the palace, and the gap between the princess and the two of them was getting bigger and bigger.

She stood up angrily, hurriedly bent her knees to Princess Anping, turned her head and took the maidservant and went out of the hall.

When I got out of the palace, I met the palace maid next to Princess Anping, who was carrying bird's nest soup in her hand, and there were two pastel bird's nest soup on the lacquered wood plate, which were clearly for Princess Anping and Gu Mingzhu.

She was even more embarrassed, and stomped her foot angrily and went to her splendid hall.

Pei Lan, the personal maidservant, hurriedly followed and persuaded in a low voice: "The county lord doesn't have to be angry, it can't be said that His Royal Highness didn't know that the county lord would come back, so he didn't teach people to prepare." ”

Zhou Chuchu Rongchang's face was full of anger: "Now the people in the entire Qianqiu Hall know that the princess looks down on me, and is only close to Gu Mingzhu, and even they will watch people put down dishes, or it won't be long before there is still a place for me in this palace!" ”

There is also the queen of heaven, who took Gu Mingzhu in and out of everything before, and trusted her in every way, but she has always been lukewarm to herself, just praised a few words on her face, and never said that she would go to the Ganlu Hall to follow her, and even once the emperor's mausoleum worship, she only let her follow Concubine De, and even if she fell ill, she was not allowed to go over to serve her, which was very different from Gu Mingzhu.

Pei Lan said in a low voice: "The county lord should not think so, Concubine De still attaches great importance to and likes you." ”

Hearing her mention Concubine De, Zhou Chuchu's face finally looked better.

Indeed, Concubine De treats her very seriously, and it is very complicated to sacrifice such an important matter as the emperor's tomb, but Concubine De called her over to discuss everything together, and even handed over the sacrifices and the carriage of the emperor's tomb in the palace to her to buy and take care of it.

Everyone knows that the imperial tomb sacrifice is the most decent regulation, if she can do these few things on the face of the most face-saving errands, do not worry about not showing her face in front of the saint and the queen of heaven, Concubine De is willing to give her such a good errand, and also instructed the people of the Shanggong Bureau to obey her orders, everything is according to her arrangement, and give her enough face, naturally it is very good to her.

She entered the hall angrily and sat down, frowned and thought for a long time, her face gradually calmed down, she retreated left and right, and asked Pei Lan in a low voice: "Can the Ganlu Hall send news today?" ”

Pei Lan shook his head and said in a low voice: "I haven't sent news for five days, maybe it's because the queen of heaven is sick, and the palace over there is extremely strict, so I can't come out." ”

Zhou Chuchu slowly leaned on the table, frowning and thinking: "What do you say is the condition of the queen of heaven?" These days, the palace is full of wind and rain, and it is said that Niangniang is extremely sick, and a few days ago she called Concubine De Niangniang to faint when she went to speak, and she didn't even ask about the emperor's tomb these days. ”

Pei Lan also thought about it, and said softly: "I also heard that the Lu Yuan of the Imperial Doctor's Office has been waiting in the Ganlu Hall every day in the past few days, but no one asks, and I can't ask for the news of the Ganlu Palace, but I'm afraid it's really not as simple as saying that I suffered from the cold." ”

"How strong the queen of heaven is, how can she ignore the affairs of the court and the inner palace with a little cold, and hand it over to others." Under the swaying light and shadow through the window, Zhou Chuchu's face flickered, and he couldn't see joy and anger, "I'm afraid that my mother's illness is already very serious as they said." ”

Otherwise, how can he be willing to hand over the power he holds in his hands, Zhou Chuchu thinks that he is similar to the queen of heaven, and he has a paranoid love for power and honor, and he will not allow others to covet everything in his hands.

"In the past two days, there has been news from the East Palace, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is afraid that his legs have been ......," Pei Lan said.

Zhou Chuchu lowered his eyes, fiddled with the golden silk jade on his wrist, and his voice was a little lower: "Don't worry, take a look again, it's not too late to make a decision after you understand it." ”

The Mansion of the Eldest Princess of Yuancheng is the best at management, she never makes loss-making transactions, she naturally does not do useless things, she only follows those who can give her infinite glory and power.
