Chapter 591: The Final Victor?
"That's ...... It's His Royal Highness King Xian! Someone at the feast had already recognized the man who had come on horseback, and exclaimed.
There was even more panic at the banquet, and everyone looked at the team of carriages and horses in disbelief, it was the queen mother's phoenix, but how could it be King Xian, obviously King Xian had been imprisoned in the palace......
Gu Mingzhu closed his eyes, his face showed a trace of bitterness, and he sighed heavily. It seems that the situation is worse than they imagined, Li Yu is no longer imprisoned, and between Li Mi, who has a good temperament, and Li Yu, who is ambitious and has no bottom line, the Zheng Yuan family is more likely to choose Li Yu.
After all, only Li Yu would be willing to give anything at all costs, just to get the throne.
Feng Yuan stopped at the foot of the jade steps in front of Hanyuan Palace, Li Yu turned over and dismounted, and walked to Feng Yuan in high spirits to personally support the Queen Mother who opened the curtain and came down, with a smile on his face: "Ah Niang, all the ministers and ministers and wives are here to congratulate you on your birthday." ”
Although everyone at the table was satisfied and frightened, they all hurriedly left the table to bow down: "The Queen Mother is healthy." ”
No one knows what is happening at the moment, those princes and princesses are not there, and His Royal Highness King Xian is not there, only the Queen Mother and King Xian came to Hanyuan Palace, which is really incomprehensible.
Gu Mingzhu also bowed down, but she raised her head slightly, and the afterglow swept past the Queen Mother who was supported by Li Yu in the distance, only to see that the Queen Mother was dressed in a golden nine phoenix Chaoyang Zhai clothes, and the twelve golden phoenix hairpins on her head were dazzling, she had a faint smile on her face, and there was nothing wrong with it, and she came with the minister who saluted all the way.
Wasn't the Queen Mother under house arrest? Gu Mingzhu couldn't help but be a little puzzled, obviously she didn't see anything unusual.
It's just that she soon found out that something was wrong, and the palace maids who were serving closely beside the Queen Mother looked very angry, although they all looked respectful, but their steps were stiff, and they followed the Queen Mother closely, but their eyes kept wandering, sweeping around the banquet over and over again, without the slightest awe, more like an uneasy inquiry.
And there is no Xu Siyan in this.
This is not right, Gu Mingzhu suddenly woke up, Xu Siyan has been by the Queen Mother's side for more than ten years, and has long been an indispensable person by the Queen Mother's side, the Queen Mother's daily life and chores are all taken care of by her, and it is impossible not to serve the Queen Mother.
I'm afraid this group of people is not serving the Queen Mother, but to spy on her and hold her hostage!
Gu Mingzhu turned her face slightly sideways, looked at Cui Lin on the opposite table, and shook her head lightly with a solemn face, Cui Lin also understood what she meant.
When the Queen Mother sat on the couch, Li Yutang ordered someone to send a couch and sit down next to the Queen Mother, faintly standing side by side with the Queen Mother, which made everyone stunned, but they didn't dare to say much because of this complicated and strange situation, but they just looked at the Queen Mother.
As if she hadn't seen it, the Queen Mother didn't open her mouth to object, she didn't even look at it, but turned her face to look at the banquet: "You all have hearts, enter the palace to celebrate my birthday." ”
The atmosphere was particularly weird, but who at the table was not a long-standing accident, and the ladies smiled and said: "The Queen Mother's birthday, it is a blessing for me to be able to enter the palace to celebrate her birthday." ”
The Queen Mother smiled, and her eyes swept over the seat of the woman: "What about the Lord of Lingling?" But it's back. ”
Gu Mingzhu sighed lightly, then got up and left the table, raised her hand and bowed down: "Queen Mother." ”
She could feel the eagerness in the Queen Mother's eyes looking at her without looking up, and the resentful gaze on the side like a poisonous snake.
Li Yu was also looking at Gu Mingzhu.
It's just that there is no temperature in his eyes, and it is getting deeper and colder.
The woman in front of her has become a woman, the previous hanging bun has been replaced by a high-silk Wangxian bun, she is dressed elegantly, and there is no gorgeous jewelry hairpin ring, but the face of the pearl and jade is compelling, once like a flower bud was a little green, to this time has been completely blooming peony, and the gesture is dizzying.
This woman was supposed to be his! was promised to the Cui family by the Queen Mother!
He opened his mouth in a hoarse voice: "Lingling County Lord, I haven't seen you for a long time. ”
Gu Mingzhu raised his head and looked at Li Yu, only glanced at it, then lowered his head again, did not say a word, and ignored Li Yu's words.
Li Yu suddenly became angry, this woman is still so ignorant of lifting, she dares to ignore herself, and she is still so ignorant of current affairs, can't she see that even the Queen Mother is already in his hands right now!
He was about to speak, but the Queen Mother smiled at Gu Mingzhu and said, "It's been a long time since you married Boling in a blink of an eye, why don't you come over and let me take a good look and see how the Cui family treats you." ”
Gu Mingzhu got up with a smile and sat down beside the Queen Mother: "Niangniang's health is the blessing of the minister." ”
The Queen Mother chuckled lightly and said meaningfully: "My body is fine, but it's hard to say whether it's a blessing or not." ”
There is a queen mother to protect Gu Mingzhu, Li Yu can't do anything with her for a while, he can only watch the two women treat him as nothing, he drank a glass of wine angrily, but he secretly sneered in his heart, and he is not in a hurry At this time, they all have to surrender later, whether it is the queen mother who is high above and has no mother-son affection, or the beautiful and alluring city in front of him but repeatedly does not know how to lift Gu Mingzhu!
No one dared to speak at the banquet for a while, everyone carefully lowered their heads, and used the dishes and drinks like chewing wax, without the excitement and joy of the birthday banquet, and they were afraid that they would become victims of this palace banquet.
Only the Queen Mother and Gu Mingzhu talked freely: "...... Boling is not as good as Chang'an, and now it's only September, and the frost has fallen there, and they have changed their jackets. ”
The Queen Mother nodded with a smile: "I heard the first emperor say that it has snowed in the land of Yanbei in September, and it has been frozen for thousands of miles in October, and the soldiers are wearing leather jackets to keep out the cold. ”
Gu Mingzhu personally poured a drink for the Queen Mother: "The wool over there is excellent, I asked people to find a few pieces of good and complete silver fox material, and it is also good to make a few hand nests for Niangniang." ”
The Queen Mother smiled from ear to ear: "Your female celebrity should not spoil the material, let people send it to the palace, and I will let the Shangfu Bureau do it." ”
Seeing the two of them saying something inconsequential as if no one was around, everyone felt weird in such a situation, but no one could say anything, although Li Yu felt bored, he could only sit on the seat sullenly.
It's not time for him to wait patiently, waiting for the news and edicts sent by the Taiji Palace, and at that moment he can rightfully sit on the queen mother's couch, and everything is under control.
Thankfully, we didn't have to wait long.
Even so, he was still a little nervous, and his hand holding the wine cup was a little unsteady, and he had planned all these years of painstaking planning, thinking that it would never be possible, and he had already planned to wait for death in the palace as a waste, but it turned around and returned to his hands.
So how could he care if he had to wait a moment longer!
