After eating the last mouthful of the decoction, the queen of heaven hurriedly pushed Gu Mingzhu's hand away, frowned and whispered, "It's really bitter." ”

Xu Siyan came up with a candied fruit plate: "Niangniang is also afraid of bitterness, Fang Caichen watched them decoction in the kitchen, the taste is really bitter, it's hard for Niangniang to eat it." ”

The queen of heaven put a candied fruit into her mouth, and after a while, she stretched her brows and smiled: "Where will I not be afraid of bitterness, I don't like to eat decoction when urinating, A-Niang used various methods to pour it, just afraid of this bitter taste." ”

Gu Mingzhu looked at the majestic queen of heaven in the past and talked, looked at the appearance of smacking her tongue in the soup bowl, like a child, and couldn't help but purse her lips and smile: "Niangniang's spirit is much better, and she will be able to get better in a few more days." ”

The queen of heaven stopped laughing, waved her hand to let Xu Siyan take the medicine bowl down, and looked at Gu Mingzhu: "It would be good if it was so fast, how could you see the true face of these people." ”

She looked at Gu Mingzhu who didn't look surprised, a look of appreciation flashed in her eyes, and she continued: "These days are really lively, proud, tentative, careful, speculative, not all of them are exposed, this is something that you can't see on weekdays, and it's rare to see it really." ”

Gu Mingzhu lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "Yes." ”

She has suspected it more than once, but the queen of heaven is very well disguised, if she didn't have those memories, I'm afraid that she will be kept in the dark, believing that the queen is really seriously ill.

The queen of heaven looked at her calm appearance and smiled: "You are a person who surprised me, very good, and you really didn't disappoint me." ”

She took Gu Mingzhu's hand: "It seems that although Xuanyang has passed, Gu Qing has taught you very well." ”

Hearing her mention A-Niang, Gu Mingzhu's body trembled slightly, but there was no emotion on her face.

"The Han family has been cautious in the palace all these years, and it can be regarded as loyal, everything is deferential, and there has never been a mistake in the slightest, and her father Han Yan is also loyal, I didn't expect ......" The queen of heaven chuckled and shook her head, "The sage really has a plan for a long time, not only to reuse the Han family, but also to push the Han family to the back position, presumably also to fancy the meekness of the Han family, but unfortunately he has always refused to believe me, he doesn't believe that what I have done over the years is for the Tang Dynasty, for him, and there are no more selfish thoughts." ”

"Although the Han family is docile on the face, it is ruthless with means, if it weren't for her, the prince in Sun Baolin's womb, and Mo Zhaorong would not ......"

When she said this, she closed her eyes, the last bit of gentleness on her face was gone, and her gaze at Gu Mingzhu became colder and colder: "If the Han family ascends to the rear position, the prince and I will naturally have no way to live, and the Gu family is afraid that it will be difficult to preserve it anymore, although Gu Qing has tried his best to stay out of the matter over the years, but in the eyes of the sage, he has a heavy army, but he refuses to be obedient to the Hou Party, and he has long been an enemy and not a friend. ”

Gu Mingzhu's face tightened, and she raised her eyes to meet the gaze of the queen of heaven: "The courtier understands." ”

It was so easy to talk to smart people, and the queen nodded, and leaned back on the soft pillow: "In that case, what do you say should happen next?" ”

Now that the queen of heaven has already been on the inner seal of the invitation, she must have already planned it, and she is just asking Gu Mingzhu like this.

Gu Mingzhu frowned, thinking about the current situation, this is also what she has been doing all these days, spreading out all the situations, and thinking carefully about how to get the desired situation in the future. After a while, she said: "According to the foolish opinion of the courtier, the next step is to ask the court to ask for the title of the prince of the country for Han Duwei." ”

The queen's eyes lit up and said with a smile: "What do you say?" I talked to the sage about this that day, but he didn't agree, do you still want to make the Han family even more wealthy? ”

Gu Mingzhu said softly: "Niang Niang is the master of the inner palace after all, it's not good to ask about the affairs of the previous dynasty, the concubine has been promoted, how can the previous dynasty have no movement, and it should be supported and invited, the Han family has a concubine, and she wants to be promoted to a first-class national prince, shouldn't it be flowers and brocade cooking oil vigorously." ”

The queen smiled even more, and looked at Gu Mingzhu's eyes full of appreciation: "Okay, then where should I start?" ”

Gu Mingzhu lowered her eyes, thought quickly in her heart, and said after a moment: "The courtiers don't know much about the affairs of the previous dynasty, but they just think that such a thing should be a person who knows the Han family well." ”

It's not wrong, it's hard for her to be a lady who hasn't been out of the cabinet, and she knows very little about the things of the previous dynasty, but she can still think of the key points and know that she has someone to do with the Han family.

The queen of heaven said with a smile: "That's right, Han Yan is careful, the Han family rarely moves around with other mansions, and only has more contacts with people in the army, and even the children and daughters are people in the army." ”

She looked at Gu Mingzhu with a smile: "In two days, it will be the gift of the little lady in General Mingwei's mansion, I have prepared a gift here, which is a little bit of Mingzhu's heart, you can go over and go for it." ”

Gu Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, looked at the queen of heaven, and saw her smile gently: "Just talk to a few ladies, and you will have to come and go often in the future." ”

Gu Mingzhu had to whisper: "Yes." ”

The queen of heaven saw that her face was straight, and patted her hand with a smile: "It's okay, I've already arranged it, you just go over and sit down." ”

Gu Mingzhu's heart was relieved, she also knew that the queen of heaven had already arranged it, and she would not just expect her to promote such an important matter.

"It's just General Gu's ......" After the queen laughed, her tone was very cautious, "Even if the Gu family doesn't want to get involved in just seeking self-preservation, they should also understand that at this time, they can't think about cleaning themselves, there has always been a battle of life and death in the court, there is no gentleman's dispute, no one can stand on the shore forever, if you don't make a choice as soon as possible, you will be completely abandoned in the end, and then it will really be a catastrophe." ”

Gu Mingzhu's heart was bitter for a while, and she slowly lowered her head, she always thought that the Gu family still had a choice, the Gu family could still stand safely on the shore, and there was a way not to be caught in the whirlpool, but it was not until she left the village that she knew that the Gu family was already in the whirlpool, and they were already chess pieces in someone else's chessboard, and they never had a choice, and they couldn't choose.

Gu Qing and her, and even the entire Gu family were already doomed as early as the ninth day of the tenth month of the thirteenth year of Yongqing, they were already a thorn in the heart of the saint, a thorn that made him never feel at ease, if it weren't for the solid military power in Gu Qing's hands, and the decisive death of the eldest princess of Xuanyang, the current Gu family has become a bloody case in the history books like the Zhao State Mansion.

Gu Mingzhu bowed slowly to the queen of heaven: "Yes, the courtier understands." ”

Since there was no choice, she didn't mind making it better.
