Chapter 236: Mother and Son Together
Behind him, King Jing and King Yi followed closely, and everyone entered the palace one after another, and the only thing left in the field was Mu Xueru, who was sitting on the ground and full of embarrassment.
She fell to the ground with a dead face, looking at the back of Gu Zhaohua leaving, biting her red lip, if there was no Gu Zhaohua, she could stand beside Pei Sangongzi, who else in the imperial city would dare to look down on her?
……
At this time, Gu Zhaohua followed into the palace, and Mrs. Pei took Pei Shuyu to the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace first, Gu Zhaohua pretended to be unwell and returned to the Chaoxia Palace.
And as soon as she entered the house, she was called by Xiao Guifei.
Sandalwood is lit in the house, and the rich fragrance makes people feel calm.
Xiao Guifei was wearing a long dress with an emerald green moire brocade fabric showing off the birds, and the outside was a transparent tulle, and the whole person was elegant and elegant.
"See the mother." Gu Zhaohua entered the house and saluted respectfully.
Xiao Guifei didn't say anything immediately, but picked up the tea cup on the yellow rosewood table next to her and gently sent it to her mouth.
"Ah Hua, you didn't seem to have returned to the palace yesterday?" After a long time, Concubine Xiao said slowly.
Gu Zhaohua didn't deny it, nodded and admitted: "Yes, Niangniang." ”
Without waiting for Concubine Xiao to ask again, Gu Zhaohua spoke directly: "Zhaohua stayed in Pei Mansion for the night yesterday. ”
She knew that she couldn't hide, so she might as well face it calmly.
"Confused!" Concubine Xiao Guifei was furious, and scolded him in a cold voice.
During the period, he slammed it even more, and threw the tea cup in his hand directly on the table next to him.
Chunyue, the maid next to her, saw this scene, and immediately knelt down tremblingly.
"Niangniang, calm your anger, be careful of being angry and ruining your body." Then he said to Gu Zhaohua next to him: "Miss Gu, don't make Niangniang angry." ”
Gu Zhaohua still stood silently in the field, ignoring Chunyue's words.
After a long time, Concubine Xiao Guifei held her forehead, and finally waved her hand to let Chunyue retreat.
Chunyue wanted to speak and stopped, but was swept away by Xiao Guifei's sharp eyes, and didn't dare to say anything, so she retreated directly.
When there were only two people left in the room, Concubine Xiao took a deep breath, and looked at Gu Zhaohua, her eyes softened a little.
"Zhaohua, come here." patted the soft couch beside him and motioned for Gu Zhaohua to sit next to her.
Gu Zhaohua lowered his eyebrows and lowered his head, and said yes respectfully.
When she sat next to Xiao Guifei, Xiao Guifei gently took her little hand.
"Ah Hua ......" wanted to say and stopped.
Gu Zhaohua withdrew his little hand without a trace: "If you have something to say, please say it directly." If she hadn't threatened herself, or Gu Zhaohua wouldn't have acted so rusty.
Xiao Guifei sighed heavily: "If I say that you are the real princess of the lost pearl, do you believe it?" She felt that if she didn't make things clear, she was afraid that the gap with Gu Zhaohua would get deeper and deeper.
"I believe it!" Gu Zhaohua raised his eyes and stared at Concubine Xiao.
"What do you mean by this?" Gu Zhaohua was not as excited as he expected, and even raised his eyes to look at Xiao Guifei indifferently.
Xiao Guifei's eyes moved, and Zhaohua was not as excited as he expected.
It seems that I really did something too wrong.
Xiao Guifei took a deep breath: "Zhaohua, I know you hate being a mother, but ...... There are also hardships for mothers. Xiao Guifei's eyes were crimson.
She thought it would be good to keep her child by her side, but a series of things that happened recently caught her off guard.
"Bitter ...... Is it a bitter thing to play with her own brother who gave her own daughter to her? Gu Zhaohua has always been very bland, and there is no joy or anger on his face.
Even the tone was neither sad nor joyful, and such a momentum made Xiao Guifei's face move.
This......
Ah Hua ...... It's not good for your mother, but you have to know that even if you really follow King Jing, he won't touch you. Xiao Guifei was silent, and finally said it honestly.
"What do you mean?" Gu Zhaohua twisted his eyebrows.
"This ...... Because, he is ......" Xiao Guifei gritted her teeth, and finally shook her head: "There are some things, the less you know, the better." ”
As soon as these words came out, Gu Zhaohua was silent.
Don't...... What other big secrets does King Jing have?
Gu Zhaohua thought that he had medical skills, but he didn't find anything wrong with King Jing.
Xiao Guifei said again: "There is also the Pei family, which is not easy to get along with." "Especially Pei Laosan, who just came back, she can't see it through.
"Zhaohua, you have to remember that you are your mother's child, and your mother will never harm you."
Gu Zhaohua frowned, could it be ...... Not what you think?
Xiao Guifei has a hard time?
But even so, giving her to King Jing was still unbearable for Gu Zhaohua.
And now the emperor has given marriage.
Concubine Xiao seemed to see through Gu Zhaohua's thoughts, and sighed heavily: "If you don't go to Pei's mansion for the night and don't take Mrs. Pei into the palace, there are still some ways for your mother to make this marriage work out, but now it's ......."
Even if she didn't want to, it was already a sure thing.
Faced with such a situation, for a while, even Gu Zhaohua himself was in a trance, who should he believe?
Pei Shuyu wants her to believe him!
Xiao Guifei said that she would never harm her?
But one wants to marry her, and the other doesn't want her to marry......
Gu Zhaohua took a deep breath.
"Niangniang, since the wood is already in the boat, let him go." For Xiao Guifei, Gu Zhaohua still kept some, after all, no matter what big secrets King Jing had, it was not an excuse for Xiao Guifei to marry her to King Jing.
Xiao Guifei couldn't say that she couldn't move Gu Zhaohua, and immediately frowned: "Ah Hua, you have to be clear, it's not that your mother doesn't want to admit your identity in public, but ......"
"I know it all." Gu Zhaohua understands that if she recognizes her identity as the princess of the pearl, she will face being sent to kiss.
"It's good that you know, you should understand that in this cannibalistic palace, our mother and son need to work together."
Gu Zhaohua was silent.
Xiao Guifei could have said these words to her four years ago, but she chose to say them now?
"Niangniang is looking for Zhaohua today, just to say this?" Gu Zhaohua didn't want to continue this topic.
Whether she is the princess of the pearl or not, I don't care at all.
"Zhaohua, did you say so much for your mother, and you didn't listen to a word?" Xiao Guifei clenched her palms, and she hated that iron was not made of steel.
"What does that lady mean, do you want Zhaohua to refuse marriage and disobey the holy decree?"
"You ......" Concubine Xiao was silent.
She didn't expect Gu Zhaohua to see everything so clearly.
Gu Zhaohua continued: "Let's say it directly, what do you want Zhaohua to do? ”
Seeing that the words were all picked up, Xiao Guifei did not continue to persuade her, but glanced at Gu Zhaohua deeply.
"Zhaohua, you must know that the matter of returning to Hui this time is far from being as simple as it seems on the face, Hui Hui is a compromise on the surface, but in fact it is ......"
Gu Zhaohua looked at Xiao Guifei, but Xiao Guifei wanted to say something and stopped, she paused, but finally nodded: "Do you know that once the war starts, no matter whether we win or lose, we can't keep it!" ”
But anyone who has the slightest involvement with Hui will be implicated.
