Chapter 23 I won't let it go
There was a terrible silence in the hall, and I was afraid that I could hear even a needle dropping.
The queen of heaven sat high on the upper seat, looked at the prince who was already drunk on the seat, and turned her eyes to the two ladies who bowed down in the hall.
Guo Yuxiu looked panicked, biting her lip, anxious and frightened, her eyes looked at the purse that the eunuch held in front of her for a moment, obviously anxious to find out.
And Gu Mingzhu beside her was quiet, her eyebrows and eyes were peaceful, and there was even a faint smile on her face, kneeling there straight, she hadn't even looked at the purse, and she didn't care about it at all.
The eunuch brought up the purse, and the colorful butterflies embroidered with colorful silver thread on the lake-blue satin wore flowers, which looked very ordinary, and there was nothing surprising about it.
The queen of heaven stretched out her hand to take the purse, looked through it a few times, looked up and said, "Guo Wuniang, this is your purse?" The tone was deep, with a hint of anger, and the phoenix's eyes were full of coldness.
She couldn't help but be angry, she specially ordered someone to prepare for this Qujiang meeting, and put a lot of thought into it. Just because some time ago, Dingzhou Xu Guogongfu sent an urgent secret letter into the palace, Feng Da Niang contracted a cold a few years ago, and she was sick for several months and did not get better, and it became more and more serious.
This news came very suddenly, but another news made the diva feel even more sudden!
The sage sent people to Chenliu some time ago and summoned King Chenliu back to Chang'an!
In the past ten years, she has stabilized her position in the Taiji Palace little by little, and tried her best to assist the saint in the court, from the demon woman who was scolded by others to the supreme woman in the Tang Kingdom, even those ministers and loyal elders in the past are now in awe of her, and the Chen family, who has been dead for many years, and the king of Chen Liu, who has been exiled for many years, have long been forgotten in her memory.
But she didn't expect that one day the saint didn't let her know the slightest news, so he recalled King Chen Liuwang back to Chang'an. And the prince, who she has worked hard to support for many years, is still stupid, drunk on wine all day long, and is reprimanded by the saint every day without repentance.
She wanted to say a few words for the prince, but over the years, for the sake of the prince and the court, the saint and her husband and wife have long ceased to be as harmonious and loving as the world sees. She was afraid, afraid of what the saint had in his heart, it was really as cruel as she thought!
Seeing the purse in front of her, and the Guo family's Wuniang who was kneeling on the ground with scattered temples, she really hated to let them get out and not to dirty her eyes again.
But she had to endure it, the prince couldn't be abolished, at least not at this time! And the only way to keep the crown prince's position is to give the prince another marriage, a marriage that is enough to make the saint change his mind!
Therefore, this Qujiang banquet is set up for the prince, and she wants to choose another marriage for the prince as soon as possible, a marriage that stabilizes the sacred heart!
But the five mothers of the Guo family made this Qujiang banquet a joke, and in front of many people, together with King Chen Liuwang and the Cui family, the prince's nature was completely torn apart!
How could she not be annoyed, if she hadn't taken care of Taishi Guo, she was afraid that Guo Wuniang would have no way to live at this time!
Guo Yuxiu was full of panic, and didn't hear the anger in the queen's tone, but said with tears streaming down her face: "Queen of Heaven, that purse is not the courtier's, the courtier's is the ......" She couldn't speak for a while, and could only point to Gu Mingzhu, who was also kneeling on the side: "It's her, the courtier's daughter saw that she entered the West Pavilion privately, and the purse must have been left by her!" ”
It was dark in the West Pavilion just now, and the prince might not recognize who she was, as long as it was Gu Mingzhu, the purse would be ironclad evidence! Guo Yuxiu thought confusedly, she must not let Gu Mingzhu get out like this!
The second lady Guo behind her was frighteningly white, she was not Guo Yuxiu, who had never been in trouble, she had already seen the faint anger pressed by the queen of heaven, and the current situation, I was afraid that she couldn't be good now.
Second Mrs. Guo slowly turned her face and glanced at Guo Yulan, who was still scared of the six gods and lowered her head, and felt a pain in her heart.
The queen turned her gaze to Gu Mingzhu: "This is your purse?" "I don't say a word about the scene that the ladies saw, just because it was really an unspeakable ugly thing!
Gu Mingzhu raised her head, looked at the purse, and smiled: "Queen of Heaven, the courtiers have never seen this purse, and I don't know why Guo Jiaxiu Niang said that it was the courtier's." She untied the purse she wore from her waist and lifted it up, "The courtier's purse is here, and it has never fallen in the West Pavilion." ”
Guo Yuxiu turned her head abruptly as if she had been struck by lightning, staring at the purse in Gu Mingzhu's hand with wide eyes, her face changed from surprise to panic, and she kept shaking her head: "No, no, your purse is obviously ...... How can it be here, that is your purse! ”
Gu Mingzhu smiled unhurriedly and said: "I don't understand Xiuniang's words, I obviously haven't been to the West Pavilion just now, and the purse is also here, why do you insist that it's me." ”
Her voice was soft and soft, "I also know that I am afraid that you are very scared of what happened to Fang Cai, but the queen of heaven is here, and she will definitely not wronged you." ”
Her words were exactly the same as what Guo Yuxiu said to Gu Mingzhu who was bumped into the scandal in her memory, and she never changed a word, but the difference was that the situation between them was reversed.
This time, Gu Mingzhu looked coldly at Guo Yuxiu, who fell into the trap and struggled in vain, and this trap was dug by the Guo family themselves.
The queen of heaven glanced down at the purse, threw it to the eunuch, and looked at Mrs. Guo with a gloomy face. Guo Taishi has always been cunning and cautious, so he can stand tall in the court from the first emperor to the present, but the people of the Guo family are too stupid, and even the establishment of the bureau will be countered by an army.
She waved her hand gloomily, asked Gu Mingzhu to retreat to the seat, didn't look at Guo Yuxiu, got up and ordered to return to Luan.
This Qujiang banquet was made like this, even if she had a plan, she could only think in vain, so she could only think about it later. Seeing the prince who was still drunk and unconscious, her face became even more ugly, and she strode away under the bows of everyone with a flick of her sleeves.
Guo Yuxiu watched the queen of heaven and the palace maids walking towards the outside of Ziyun Tower, and was stunned for a while before she understood, and suddenly tears fell like rain, crying to get up and catch up and cry again about her own whiteness, it was all Gu Mingzhu, and the purse was also Gu Mingzhu's!
But she was stopped by the second lady Guo with red eyes and gritted her teeth, she looked at the Luo clan who was concerned about Gu Mingzhu and came up to support Gu Mingzhu, as well as Gu Mingzhu who stood up calmly, together with the two second and third ladies of the Gu family who looked like a flower and moon, Shengsheng was already full of anger and hatred, and ordered someone to help Guo Yuxiu up: "Xiuniang, go back to the house first!" ”
Go back and ask the Taishi to try to come forward, he must have a way to turn around! I will never let Xiuniang ruin her reputation like this and affect the entire Guo family!
Gu Mingzhu looked at the mother and daughter of the Guo family who were staring at her, but she smiled lightly and walked towards the door. After walking a few steps, he seemed to remember something, and instructed Ah Bi: "Ask someone to take one or two gold to the palace maid, and say that I will reward it." ”
The afterglow swept over the mother and daughter of the Guo family, and sure enough, I saw that their faces were pale, and they looked like they had suddenly realized, and their anger could not be concealed at all. She smiled and didn't look back to the door.
Just now, Ah Zhu begged Gu Mingzhu, begging her to spare her life, and swore that she would never do such a thing again. It's a pity that Gu Mingzhu is not a person who likes to repay grievances with virtue, and she doesn't believe that viciousness can easily turn back to goodness, so she won't let it go.
