Chapter 227: Don't let it go
Lu Gao, the former eunuch of the Taiji Palace, was instructing the eunuch to carry the pomegranate flowers newly sent by the flower shop and place them under the corner wall of the palace.
When he saw Gu Mingzhu coming, he hurriedly nodded and hurriedly stepped forward: "The county lord is back." ”
He waved away from the palace maid, personally stepped forward to open the curtain for Gu Mingzhu, smiled so much that he couldn't see his eyebrows, and said in a low voice: "The queen mother still thinks of the county lord, I'm afraid I can't bear it." ”
His attitude was very respectful and thoughtful, and it was hard to feel disgusted.
Gu Mingzhu nodded at him and smiled: "Thank you, eunuch." ”
Lu Gao's old face bloomed with a smile: "Don't you dare to be the county lord's thanks, the sky is very hot, so I ordered someone to send lotus seeds to the county lord to drink." ”
He also knew Gu Mingzhu's preferences, and his attitude naturally retreated.
Gu Mingzhu raised her eyebrows, took the maidservant into the hall, passed through the front hall, turned the screen and entered the inner hall, and saw the queen mother in a phoenix-patterned Zhai robe sitting in front of the saint's bed, sitting without saying a word.
The saint has never woken up since he was critically ill, and the Imperial Doctor's Department has long been helpless, and even several hints have been unsuccessful, but he has been unconscious with a sigh of relief, although he is getting weaker and weaker day by day, he has never let go.
After the queen mother has dealt with all the court affairs every day, she has to come to the saint's bed and sit for an hour, so that no one can serve by her side, and no one knows what she is thinking.
Gu Mingzhu walked over gently, but before she arrived, the Queen Mother had already spoken: "Are you back?" ”
There wasn't much emotion, and I wasn't surprised that Gu Mingzhu came in, so I talked to her peacefully as usual.
"Yes." Gu Mingzhu sat down beside the Queen Mother.
"Listening to Jinyan, Xiaoding is very lively, and Mrs. Cui rushed to Chang'an from Boling." The Queen Mother had a smile on her face, "The Cui family is interesting, and I dare not wronged you." ”
Gu Mingzhu lowered her head, a little shy: "It's all the grace of my mother, and my father also talks to our sisters from time to time." ”
The Queen Mother sighed a little, looked at the unconscious saint lying on the couch, and smiled a little bitterly: "Your father is a blessed one, with your sisters, although there is no Langjun to support the court, but there is no need to watch brothers kill each other, and the family is not peaceful." ”
She was thinking about the matter between King Chenliu, King Xian and the crown prince to have such feelings.
Gu Mingzhu was still respectful: "If it weren't for the grace of the mother, there would be no Gu family today." ”
She said, but sighed softly: "It's just that every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, where there will be nothing to worry about." ”
The Queen Mother was a little interested when she heard this, and turned her head and said: "Your sisters' marriages have been settled, and I heard that the second lady of the house also has a body, this is a happy event, but what else is there to worry about?" ”
Gu Mingzhu's smile was a little reluctant, and she said softly: "Over the years, the eldest lady has taken care of the house, and now my grandmother has returned to the clan to care for the elderly, and the eldest lady has passed away. ”
"Mingyu and I have a lot of care from my mother, so we can have today, the fourth sister Mingli already has a place to go, but the second sister Mingyue ......" she said, very embarrassed, "Speaking of which, the eldest lady raised her carefully, and she was outstanding in appearance, but now she has no landing, which is really uncomfortable......"
The Queen Mother frowned, and she didn't remember Gu Mingyue's appearance after recalling it for a long time, but she had also heard about the grievances between the Gu family sisters, and it seemed that there was not harmony between Gu Mingzhu and Gu Mingyue.
She was a little curious: "What are your plans?" ”
Gu Mingzhu removed the Qi Rong on his face and looked at the Queen Mother with a little expectation: "With the grace of the mother, I will go to Boling in a while, I am afraid that I will not be able to do my best in the affairs of the house, I really can't rest assured, so I want to ask the queen mother for a grace before leaving......"
Don't be on the village, Gu Mingyue, who was sitting on the couch with a withered face, shuddered, looked at the dark room with the door closed with a blank face, and couldn't hear any sound, so she slowly lowered her eyebrows.
She has been locked up here for a long time, and she has already decided that Gu Mingzhu will not let her out.
But she was still unwilling, but she also knew that she had no hope of escaping at the moment, so she simply stopped making any moves, stayed in the village honestly, and lived according to Mama's arrangement.
It's just that when she heard the news that Gu Mingzhu was given marriage, she still couldn't stabilize her mind, and almost crushed the tea pot in her hand.
Gu Mingzhu was actually given marriage to the Cui family, or Cui Wulang!
Gu Mingyue has seen Cui Lin a few times, and naturally remembers the outstanding and peerless Lang Jun, such a talent and appearance, which is the mind of many ladies in Chang'an who dare not declare it, Gu Mingyue also admires it, but she also knows that it is impossible.
But now Gu Mingzhu is actually going to marry him!
How could Gu Mingyue not hate her liver and intestines, what is the reason for all this, she is also the concubine of the Gu family, and she is also outstanding in appearance and witty, but she has become a world of difference from Gu Mingzhu! She couldn't accept this reality anyway.
These days, the news has been like a stinger in her heart, itching and hurtling in her throat.
It's just that she finally saw a little hope, if Gu Mingzhu married Boling, she would never be able to take herself with her, she would be left in another village, as long as Gu Mingyu and Mao relaxed their vigilance a little, she was confident that she could think of a way to get out again, and then Gu Mingzhu would be out of reach, and I was afraid that she could only let her start again.
All she had to do was wait, waiting for Gu Mingzhu to marry Boling.
She sat in the dark and thought wildly, one moment she was happy because of Gu Mingzhu's distant marriage, and the other time she was angry because of this fate, and her face was extremely hideous.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside, someone opened the door and came near, she was suddenly a little panicked, and shrank inside, she was locked up here these days, and no one had ever come to see her, only when the food was delivered, she would put it at the door and leave.
Who will be here now? Could it be that Gu Mingzhu can't wait to get rid of her?
The one who came in was a raw face, followed by two little maidservants, still holding clothes and jewelry in their hands, looking very bright.
This is to ......
When the grandmother saw Gu Mingyue, she had a smile on her face, but it made people feel cold: "Second lady, the county lord asked the maid to wait for the second lady to freshen up and change clothes." ”
As he spoke, he ordered the little maid to come forward and comb her hair for her.
Gu Mingyue was even more frightened, and exclaimed: "What are you going to do, what are you going to do......"
Mama looked at her, a touch of contempt flashed in her eyes, and her tone was respectful: "I want to send the second lady back to the general's mansion in a while, it's better to freshen up." ”
Gu Mingyue was at the mercy of them, her heart was full of doubts, what was Gu Mingzhu going to do, she wasn't going to marry far away, why didn't she let herself go!
