The saint died at the moment of ugliness.

The palace maids hurriedly woke up Gu Mingzhu and Princess Anping, and Abi bowed in horror and said: "The Taiji Palace has sent a message, please ask Her Royal Highness the princess and the county lord to come over." ”

An Ping's originally sleepy-eyed look was suddenly startled, his face turned pale, and he couldn't help but look at Gu Mingzhu, his eyes were full of fear and anxiety.

Gu Mingzhu's heart sank, stretched out her hand to pull her, settled down, and said to the palace maid: "I know, hurry up and wait for His Highness to freshen up, and we will go over." ”

Although I had already guessed most of it in my heart, before the death knell rang, no one dared to speculate, and they just sat in the carriage and came to the Taiji Hall with an uneasy heart.

When she and Princess Anping hurriedly changed their dresses and freshened up and rushed to the Taiji Palace, they found that the Taiji Hall was already heavily guarded, and the soldiers who had just been transferred from the Tiger Benwei during the day were guarding the palace gate at the moment, and even Gu Mingzhu and their carriages and horses were stopped.

Princess Anping and Gu Mingzhu felt that their hearts were sinking even more, and they didn't dare to say more, so they helped the palace maid's men get out of the carriage and walked towards the palace gate.

The golden guards who are used to guarding in the palace have been cleaned up and transferred, and these soldiers of the Tiger Ben Guard did not recognize Princess Anping and a few people, so they stopped them directly at the door, or the palace maid who had just been selected to serve by the queen mother's side greeted them with Lu, and then let them in.

Princess Anping looked up at the brightly lit hall, and suddenly her steps were a little hesitant, and she took Gu Mingzhu's hand even harder: "Mingzhu, the saint is he...... What is this going to do? ”

Gu Mingzhu didn't know that even if the saint died, there was no need to be so strict with guards, unless the queen mother had other intentions......

Without waiting for them to think about it, they had already followed Hanlu to the main hall, there was no one in the hall, only a few palace maids knelt in the hall and did not dare to get up, but the queen mother was dressed in a bright yellow Jiufeng Zhai clothes, with a high bun of hairpins and golden phoenix spit beads, and the silver hair on the sideburns had been neatly combed behind her ears, and the bright moon in her ears was scorching and dazzling, she stood in the hall with her back to everyone, looking at the inner hall separated by a screen, where the medical officers were busy.

"Ah Niang......" Although Princess Anping was resentful, she couldn't bear to see the Queen Mother standing alone in the hall, and took a few steps forward and whispered.

Gu Mingzhu also bowed down: "Queen Mother." ”

The Queen Mother seemed to be deaf, and she didn't respond for a long time, just looked straight at the dragon and tiger play glass screen, as if she wanted to see through the past and look directly at the inner hall.

After a while, the Queen Mother slowly turned around, her meticulous makeup could not hide the darkness in her eyes, and looked at Princess Anping and Gu Mingzhu: "You are here." ”

Gu Mingzhu knew that the Queen Mother didn't let anyone tell her, but just summoned the two of them, and didn't even inform Concubine Shu.

Her heart sank to the bottom, but her face was even more calm, and she sat down on the couch with Princess Anping: "The Queen Mother should take a rest, it's just ugly." ”

He also instructed Hanlu to bring hot cheese to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother asked her to put it on the desk and looked at Gu Mingzhu deeply: "General Gu has rushed back to Chang'an day and night, and the Northwest Battalion has sent eight hundred miles to expedite, he will return to Chang'an at noon today, and your father and daughter haven't seen each other for a long time." ”

Gu Mingzhu nodded: "I haven't seen my father since I went to Boling." ”

The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows: "Your second sister passed away, and the family is afraid that they will be in fear all day." ”

Gu Mingzhu didn't think that the Queen Mother at this time would be interested in caring about the Gu family's worries and fears, she couldn't help but lift her heart, tensed her nerves and prepared to deal with the next thing.

The Queen Mother lowered her eyes: "You will go out of the palace as soon as the morning dawns, after the death of Gu Erniang, you as a sister can't help but take a look, and then say goodbye to your father, and go back to the palace before sunset." ”

The Queen Mother wants to ......

Gu Mingzhu's body was trembling slightly, her hands were tightly clutched on the sleeves embroidered with Lan Rim, and it took a while before she pulled out a smile: "Yes, thank you for the grace of the Queen Mother." ”

Only then did the Queen Mother slow down her tone: "You can go with peace of mind, today King Xian and Princess Xian will come to accompany me and help with the affairs of the palace." ”

Gu Mingzhu hid a trace of bitterness in her eyes, if she really wanted to see each other as a family, why did she recall Mingyu back to the palace, the Queen Mother asked her to persuade Gu Qing.

She lowered her head, knowing that she had no way to resist, after all these things, the Queen Mother's heart was afraid that it was no longer as soft as it was at the beginning, and she could no longer trust anyone, so she would never allow anyone to go against her will, neither the Gu family nor the Cui family.

There was a dead silence in the outer hall, but there was a commotion in the inner hall, and some people whispered in horror.

The palace maid came out quickly, and knelt down with tears on her face: "The queen mother, the saint ...... him"

Before those two words could be spoken, the queen mother's upright body finally shook, and she held on to the case before she stabilized: "Call the imperial doctor." ”

Imperial Physician Cheng knelt in front of the Queen Mother with several medical officers, beads of sweat the size of beans on his forehead flowed down, and he didn't dare to wipe it: "Queen Mother, the saint is terminally ill, and he has no medicine and no soul, and he has just ...... It's already a dragon in Bintian. ”

After saying that, he fell to the ground, and no longer had the courage to look at the Queen Mother's expression.

The Queen Mother didn't move, her expression was stunned, and she didn't say a word, but Princess Anping cried: "Big brother, ......"

Gu Mingzhu also lowered her head, she didn't have any sense of grief for the death of the saint, she never forgot to remember the hideous and terrible face in the Middle East Palace, the disgusting ugly thing, and she didn't forget the dying wail of the queen in the Yeting Palace, but she couldn't bear An Ping's sadness and didn't want to make her more sad.

The Queen Mother finally spoke: "You just stay in the Taiji Palace, Anping also stays, and today I will be exempted from the court and summon the Shang Palace Bureau Zhou Shang Palace to meet you." ”

But he did not say that he would send a national funeral to announce it to the world, nor did he arrange a funeral for the saints.

Taiyi Cheng and the others were stunned, and the palace maids were also stunned, but no one dared to ask, this matter was very important, and everyone was afraid that they would be involved.

Princess Anping didn't notice this, she just cried sadly.

The Queen Mother didn't pay attention to them, but just looked at Gu Mingzhu fiercely: "You go and clean up, go back to the General's Mansion when the palace gate opens." ”

She beckoned to the two female officials behind her: "You help the county lord clean up, and go to the general's mansion together to help with the Gu family's funeral." ”

The two female officials who were born in front of Gu Mingzhu bowed their knees and sent Gu Mingzhu out of the hall.

said that it was to clean up, but the carriage was already waiting outside the Taiji Hall, and the two female officials politely invited Gu Mingzhu to get into the carriage: "...... Don't delay the time to leave the palace, the Queen Mother remembers. ”

Gu Mingzhu didn't understand what it meant, sighed lowly, didn't ask any more, got into the carriage and followed them towards the palace gate.
