said that he wanted to see the scenery of Lingyun Pavilion, but in fact, he just walked around the flower pond behind the palace.

Looking at the rose flower stand that had already withered most of it, Xu Siyan, who had always been cautious in his words and deeds, opened the conversation in a rare way: "The county lord looks at the current appearance of this Lingyun Pavilion is in decline, but this was the most luxurious place in the entire Daming Palace at the beginning, and even the Ganlu Hall is a few points inferior. ”

She pointed to the half-empty rose pond not far away: "The original plants there were all hibiscus flowers sent from the East, and they were lush and not dazzling, but unfortunately they are not there now." ”

Gu Mingzhu had never heard of this, and looked over in some surprise, but all he saw was a barren and overgrown clearing, and it was really difficult to imagine the grand occasion of the year.

In the previous life, when she entered the palace, she only saw Mo Zhaorong, who was sick, but I heard that Mo Zhaorong was once favored for a while, and then he was never valued by the saint.

But she didn't expect such a situation.

Xu Siyan saw the surprise in her eyes and smiled: "At the beginning, the sage praised Mo Zhaorong for the beauty of Fusang and the beauty of the dawn, so he deliberately planted a garden full of Fusang flowers to show his grace. ”

She stepped on the thick fallen leaves on the ground, listened to the creaking sound under the clogs, and her voice was also up and down: "The people in this palace only deserve the favor of the king, and it is the supreme glory to be on the rise, and one day they can stand on the top of the inner palace like Niangniang, and be loved and worshiped by the people of the world side by side with the saints, but they have never seen the hibiscus flowers that have died and turned into dust in this garden." ”

"Isn't it the most ridiculous and dangerous to pin the honor and disgrace of life and death on the illusory feelings of men?" When Xu Siyan said this, the corners of his lips hooked up a sneering arc, "After all, even they don't know who they will like, how long they will get tired of staying with whom, and how can they keep their original promises." ”

Gu Mingzhu walked beside her and listened to her words quietly, and couldn't help but be surprised when she heard this, and she glanced at her carefully before retracting her gaze.

I didn't expect that there were still people in the deep palace who could see so thoroughly, not bent on climbing high and stepping low, nor hoping to be valued by the saints, and wanting to fly on the branches and become a phoenix like Sun Baolin, which is special.

Xu Siyan also happened to look at her, and smiled slightly: "This is a little shallow view of the maid, the county lord is very smart, and naturally he knows it, where to use the maid to talk more." ”

Gu Mingzhu smiled: "You are right, many old people in the palace can't see it as clearly as you." ”

No wonder the queen of heaven will pay so much attention to Xu Siyan.

Xu Siyan looked at her and smiled: "The county lord doesn't want to laugh at me." ”

The two walked along the flower pond for a while, and then went to the front hall, and when they arrived outside the closed hall door, it seemed that they were still talking in secret and had never come out, Gu Mingzhu was a little surprised, what secret words did the queen of heaven and Mo Zhaorong have to say.

Xu Siyan still invited her to sit down under the cloister: "The county lord came to take a look, there are a few orchids here that are not bad." ”

She glanced at the closed door of the temple: "I'm afraid that there are many things that I don't know." ”

Gu Mingzhu was stunned, it was because he was careless, he actually wrote his thoughts on his face, and nodded hurriedly: "Thank you Si Yan." ”

After waiting for a little half a cup of tea, the door of the palace finally opened, and the queen of heaven came out of the palace alone, her face was full of exhaustion, and she said to Gu Mingzhu and Xu Siyan who greeted her: "Let's go, go back to the Ganlu Palace." ”

He turned his head and said to the palace maid who knelt on the ground: "Good students take care of Zhaorong." ”

After hesitating, he didn't say any more, and walked out with them.

The carriage back to the Manna Hall was silent and did not say anything, but closed its eyes as if it was resting.

It wasn't until she got out of the car and went up the jade steps that she opened her mouth in a deep voice: "Let someone seal the gate of the Lingyun Pavilion Palace, and order Cao Gongzheng to lead the palace people to inquire about this matter." ”

This is, convicted?

Gu Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, but Xu Siyan curtched and said, "I'll go." ”

Could it be that this is the result of a long secret conversation in the temple? But Gu Mingzhu was full of doubts, and the Mo Zhaorong she saw just now was obviously unaware.

What's more, a noble man who has fallen out of favor and is seriously ill, what is the need to attack others.

She lowered her head and didn't dare to say more, and followed the queen of heaven to the temple.

But when she went up to the top of the jade steps, the queen of heaven suddenly stopped, turned her head and looked at the palaces one after another, looking at it expressionlessly, and did not move for a long time.

"Mingzhu, why didn't you accept the marriage in the first place?" She opened her mouth suddenly.

Gu Mingzhu didn't expect her to ask herself this, so she was stunned for a moment before she said, "The courtier is just ......"

Gu Mingzhu secretly complained in her heart, she couldn't say that she really didn't want to marry her son after she died, so she could only stammer.

But the queen of heaven didn't seem to need her answer, and said lightly: "You think well, marrying into the royal family may not be a good thing." ”

After returning to the palace, the queen's mood seemed to be much better, and she said to Gu Mingzhu: "It's time to check the affairs of the East Palace." ”

She looked at Gu Mingzhu: "You go, bring Guo Liangyuan over, this matter will be arranged by you, and it is up to you to decide how to deal with it." ”

Gu Mingzhu bowed down on his knees: "Yes, the courtiers obey the edict." ”

Watching Gu Mingzhu walk out of the hall, the queen's beautiful face was full of loneliness and sadness, and she leaned quietly on the table and did not move.

In the East Palace, the crown princess Ding wiped her tears silently, the prince had an accident less than a few days ago, the East Palace seemed to have lost the backbone, and the staff were also full of worries, privately discussing the movements of the court, and even the palace maids discussed in private, if the prince really had a leg disease since then, he was afraid of the saint's heart......

But what can she do, she is a female streamer, and she used to be in the boudoir middle school just to take care of the middle feed, needlework and female red, where did she ever think of facing such a thing.

She was really panicked, and she didn't know what to do, so she could only hide quietly in the temple and wipe her tears.

"Niangniang, the crown princess Niangniang," the palace maid hurriedly came in to bow down, "The county lord of Lingling is here, with the grandmother and female officials of the Shanggong Bureau. ”

Ding Shi was startled, panicked, put the tea pot in his hand on the desk, and stood up: "Why did she come, with someone from the Shanggong Bureau?" ”

It's just that his face changed color all of a sudden, and he became extremely ugly, and this time he brought someone from the Shanggong Bureau, and he was obviously going to do something to the ladies of the East Palace.

She smiled bitterly, and tears fell: "I didn't expect it to be so fast." ”

She is afraid that she will not be able to hold this stormy East Palace.

It was only when I arrived at the gate of the palace that I saw Gu Mingzhu with the female officials and the palace people respectfully bowing down: "The crown princess is the mother." ”

Ding personally stepped forward to pull Gu Mingzhu up, and said with a forced smile: "Why did the county lord have time to come to see me, and he didn't let anyone say anything, so I can let people prepare refreshments." ”

Gu Mingzhu smiled slightly: "I came to see Guo Liangyuan, but I don't know which palace I am in." ”
