Chapter 259: The Unexpected (Part 1)
However, at noon, the Duchess of Wei was taken to the palace, and the queen of heaven even asked people to clean up the Anren Hall near the Ganlu Palace, and Concubine De took Gu Mingzhu to greet her in front of the palace.
Looking at the Duchess of Wei who came up the jade steps with a snow-white forest dog with a snow-white forest dog on her face, the smile on Concubine De's face has always been gentle and kind, and she stepped forward and said with a smile: "Madame is here, Niangniang has already ordered someone to clean up this hall, just waiting for Madame to come." ”
"Madame will go in and have a look, see if there is anything you don't like, just tell me, I'll have someone pick it and send it over."
Looking up and seeing Concubine De, the originally elated look on the face of the Duchess of Wei suddenly retracted a little, revealing a little uncomfortable, and smiled wryly: "It's Concubine De Niangniang, there is Lao Niangniang here, I am, I want to enter the palace to talk to Niangniang......
Concubine De's smile became more and more cordial: "Madame should go to the palace more often, Niangniang thinks about Madame every day, you can enter the palace to talk more with Niangniang, and Niangniang will be much more relieved." ”
As she spoke, she personally led the Duchess of Wei into the palace, smiling and saying a few thoughtful words from time to time, which was very courteous.
It's just that the Duchess of Wei Guo looked vigilant and cautious, and she didn't dare to look up at Concubine De's eyes, but just lowered her head and touched the forest dog in her arms, and she looked absent-minded when she said a few words.
This made Gu Mingzhu very surprised, everyone in the palace knew that Concubine De was kind and generous, and serving in her Yanjia Hall was the easiest errand for the palace maid, but why did the Duchess of Wei Guo look vigilant, it was clear that there was some reason.
She lowered her head and followed behind Concubine De, and sent the Duchess of Wei into the palace, watching the Duchess of Wei Guo finally look at the decorations in the hall with joy, and look around, but Concubine De was watching with a smile on her face, still looking gentle and kind.
“…… If the lady has anything to get after that, she will send someone to the Yanjia Palace, and I will have someone send it. Concubine De said with a smile, holding Gu Mingzhu's hand: "On weekdays, if the queen of heaven is not empty, Mrs. feels bored and asks the lord of Lingling to accompany her to talk, she is also a delicate heart, the most likable, I love it tightly." ”
Gu Mingzhu's eyes flashed slightly, and she lowered her head and bowed gently to the Duchess of Wei.
The Duchess of Wei looked at her carefully several times, and showed a little smile: "The county lord looks good, and I don't know which mansion has such a blessing to be able to marry the county lord." ”
As he spoke, he pulled Gu Mingzhu: "My Ah Rong is the same age as you, if you are willing, come to me to walk around more, I like you as a good-looking and polite little lady." ”
After bidding farewell to Concubine De and returning to the Qianqiu Palace, Abi hurriedly sent a letter and said softly: "County Lord, someone from the palace has sent a letter in, and there is news in that courtyard." ”
Gu Mingzhu's eyes suddenly lit up, he stretched out his hand to take the letter and opened it, and came back to look at it a few times, his face suddenly became ugly, and he sat on the couch and was silent for a long time.
There was a man living in the house!
The people who went there finally thought of following the people who came out of the house to buy and mixed in to take a look, but it was very different from what Gu Mingzhu guessed, the person living in the house turned out to be Lang Jun, although he had never seen it with his own eyes, but he also heard the servants talking about Lang Jun's illness, it seemed that he had been seriously ill for many years, and he would invite a doctor to see him and get medicine from time to time, and the people were also accustomed to his serious illness.
But why would Gu Qing hide a man who had been seriously ill for many years in that hidden mansion? Who is that man?
Gu Mingzhu only felt that this mystery was getting bigger and bigger, and the answer would be coming out when he found out about that house, but now it seemed to be even more confusing.
She frowned and whispered to Ah Bi: "Take the word out to Mama Han, don't stare at the house over there for the time being, if there is anything I will deal with when I return home." ”
If Gu Qing is aware, with the care of him hiding that person, he can't have other plans, let it go first, wait until she goes to the Shanggong Bureau to investigate, and then see how she plans.
Abi was promising to exit the palace, but heard Princess Anping outside break in in a hurry: "Mingzhu, Mingzhu, quick, follow me, Yun Niang has entered the palace." ”
Entering the hall, ignoring the palace maids who fell to the ground, she pulled Gu Mingzhu up and said happily: "Come with me quickly, Yun Niang has entered the palace, and she is in the Ganlu Palace." ”
Gu Mingzhu didn't come back to his senses for a while: "Your Highness, aren't you in the Chongwen Pavilion......"
Looking at the time, I'm afraid that I haven't finished listening to Mr.'s class, why did I come back? And why did Cen Liuniang suddenly enter the palace?
Princess Anping pulled her down the jade steps in a hurry, and only then did she get into the palace car and said: "I heard that Yun Niang followed Mrs. Cen into the palace to greet A-Niang, I was afraid that I would not be able to see her again if I delayed the hour, so I let Chu Chu listen to Mr. 's admonition there first, and quietly slipped back." ”
Speaking of this, she stuck out her tongue proudly, but pouted again: "Yun Niang is really, I want to enter the palace to meet today, but I haven't let anyone tell us any news, otherwise I will find an excuse not to go to Chongwen Pavilion." ”
Gu Mingzhu was stunned: "Didn't she tell His Highness?" ”
Speaking of which, she just entered the palace, and it is reasonable that Cen Liuniang did not let people bring news over, but Princess Anping has a close relationship with her, how could she enter the palace and even Princess Anping did not say anything, which is a little strange.
Princess Anping grinned: "Okay, now we can meet again, I want to talk to her about the Double Ninth Festival banquet, I heard A-Niang say that the scenery of Daming Palace is excellent, and you have to shoot a salute, so you can have a good and lively life." ”
Gu Mingzhu smiled, but she had always been suspicious in her heart, if it weren't for the summons, the third lady Cen would rarely enter the palace, after all, the Cen family was just an ordinary courtier's mansion, but why did she take Cen Liuniang into the palace to meet the queen of heaven alone this time, I am afraid that there is also some reason.
It's just that the elated Princess Anping pulled Gu Mingzhu all the way to the Ganlu Palace, but she was stopped by Xu Siyan, she bowed down with a slight smile and said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, the Queen of Heaven has summoned the third lady Cen and the sixth lady of the Cen family in the palace, I have something important to say, and I ask Your Highness and the county lord to wait for a while." ”
Princess Anping was stunned for a moment: "But we are here to see Yun Niang, let's just say a few words to her, A-Niang won't blame me." ”
Xu Siyan still held back steadily, and his smile became more humble: "Your Highness, Niang Niang has ordered, no one can go in and disturb them, so please wait a while." ”
Gu Mingzhu's heart sank suddenly, and he looked up at the closed palace door, afraid that what the Queen of Heaven and the Cen family's mother and daughter said was not trivial, and it was not something they could listen to.
