Chapter 8 The Nine Days of the Phoenix Falling
Concubine Liang and Concubine Shu were both stunned, and then they were both silent, looking up at the emperor's expression uneasily.
The whereabouts of the emperor, how could the people in the harem not know? When the emperor went to the dungeon of Zongren Mansion, they naturally got the news, not to mention that Lord Dugu was rumored to be in the palace overnight, and the emperor personally carried one person into the Qianyuan Palace. As for who that person is, who else could it be who was imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion?
However, Emperor Mingxuan's temperament is incomprehensible to anyone, and he is as bold as Concubine Shu and does not dare to speak again, so she just waits quietly.
Xuanyuan Zili glanced at the two of them, his eyes fell on Concubine Shu, and he said, "Concubine Shu has always been straightforward and fast-talking, why don't you return to me at this time?" "
Concubine Shu immediately knelt down, Concubine Liang was startled by her, her legs were weak, and she almost knelt down, and Minglan beside her hurriedly helped her.
"Concubines... The concubine was unwell last night and wanted to pass on the imperial doctor to take a look, but she knew that the palace maid went to the imperial hospital but did not find the imperial doctor, and after asking, she learned that she went to Qianyuan Palace to save people. The concubine thought that the dragon was sick, so she was so frightened that she hurriedly rushed to Qianyuan Palace, but was told by the palace people halfway that it was not the emperor who had something, but... The tears in her eyes rolled down uncontrollably, and Concubine Shu raised her head with red eyes, looked at the emperor with resentment, and choked up:
"Your Majesty, you know that Xuan'er is jealous, but you just kept people in Qianyuan Palace for the night, didn't you put Xuan'er's heart in the oil pot to fry! Xuan'er just hurts, so don't bear to pretend to be generous. Xuan'er wanted to ask the emperor, where is she good enough to let the emperor treat her like this? "
Concubine Shu's voice is very coquettish, and a pair of bright autumn eyes can see that people's hearts are soft, no matter how rebellious Rao is words are, they can't make people angry. If I see such a pitiful posture, if I were an ordinary person, I might be bewitched.
Emperor Mingxuan didn't react much, he only lowered his eyes to look at Concubine Shu, and said lightly: "It's my business to make an exception to treat anyone." Concubine, this is the palace, no longer the palace, if you are so bold in the future, I may not tolerate you every time. Get up. "
Concubine Shu was stunned, and the palace maid next to her had already reached out to help, so she had to stand up and give the emperor a slight blessing: "Thank you for the emperor's grace." "
The emperor looked sideways at Peony, who nodded and entered the Qianyuan Palace, lowering the curtain of the inner hall again.
"Let's all go in, it's not like to stand outside. Xuanyuan Zili waved his sleeves and stepped into the main hall, Concubine Liang glanced at Concubine Shu, and hurriedly followed.
Concubine Shu eased her breath, a dark light crossed her eyes, straightened her skirt and followed into Qianyuan Palace. Naturally, all the palace people stayed outside.
As soon as the curtain was lowered, Peony was startled.
On the dragon couch, Liang Yue, who was obviously seriously injured, actually propped up half of her body and leaned on the inside of the bed, it seemed that the person was still unconscious, but she just subconsciously moved, trying to protect herself in an unfamiliar place.
Suddenly feeling a little distressed, Peony walked over, gently helped her head to the pillow and lay down, covered her with the quilt by the way, and patted it gently.
She has seen too many people, so she knows at a glance that although Gu Liangyue has a cold appearance, she is actually just a fragile girl in her heart, she doesn't know how to fight, she doesn't know how to rob, and she doesn't have any scheming. Putting aside the thick murderous aura, this girl is actually simpler than anyone else, if Your Majesty misses her, it will really be a loss.
It's not a way to be in the main hall, and I can't figure out the master's mind now. If you want to let go of Liangyue, you still have to move her to another place first.
There was a voice talking outside, and the emperor should be able to deal with those two masters, and now all she had to do was to feed Liangyue medicine. The medicine has been fried for a while, and after a delay just now, it is almost cold now.
Scooping a spoonful of medicine, Peony carefully put Gu Liangyue's head on her lap, pinched her lips and fed her the medicine. Although I sprinkled a lot, I fed some of them.
When she was about to finish feeding, she didn't know if it was dazzling or what, Peony felt that Liangyue's brows seemed to wrinkle, and then her eyelids moved a little, as if she was about to wake up.
Quickly put the bowl aside, re-covered her with the quilt, and Peony took her handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth. But after watching it for a long time, it seemed that the movement just now was an illusion, and Gu Liangyue was still asleep and showed no signs of waking up.
Sighing, Peony glanced at the medicine bowl, then looked at the person on the bed, and simply fed the rest of the medicine together, so as not to drink enough to reduce the effect of the medicine.
Who knows, as soon as a spoonful of medicine was put into Liang Yue's mouth, this ice face that was overwhelming the country and the city suddenly wrinkled, and then he spit out the medicine in a big gulp, obviously his eyes were still closed, but his body trembled so much that he vomited so much that he vomited all the medicine he had just fed.
This movement is not small, and the people outside heard it instantly. Emperor Mingxuan raised his eyebrows and called softly: "Peony." "
Peony was helping Gu Liangyue back to the bed, and when she heard the emperor's summons, she hurriedly walked out and saluted, "The slave is here." "
"What's going on? Are you awake? "
Peony looked at the burning gaze of the three parties, lowered his head and said, "Back to Your Majesty, no, it's just that the medicine I fed has been spit out." "
Xuanyuan Zili frowned, his expression became serious, and when Concubine Liang saw this, she hurriedly said, "Don't you want the imperial doctor to come and take a look?" "
"Not necessarily. Emperor Mingxuan waved his hand and said coldly: "There is a difference between respect and inferiority. "
Peony was stunned and looked up at the emperor in confusion. The other two also looked at Emperor Ming Xuan suspiciously, and they were very puzzled by this sentence. What does it mean to be 'inferior and inferior'?
"Your Majesty... Peony spoke.
"Passing on my will, Gu's capital crime can be avoided, read his merits, demoted to the palace maid of Qianyuan Palace, and will not be allowed to leave the palace for life. "
The emperor's voice was cold, but it sounded in the hearts of the three people below, and Peony only paused for a moment, and then calmly blessed the order. The second concubine of Liangshu is strange and inexplicable.
Lady-in-waiting? It's not a concubine or anything else, His Majesty actually asked her to be the palace maid of Qianyuan Palace, which was not what they expected.
"She didn't heal from her injuries, so she deliberately allowed her to heal her injuries first. Xuanyuan Zili's expression was gloomy, and after he finished the order, he looked at the rest of the second concubines, which had the intention of driving people away.
Although the two were unwilling, Gu Liangyue was relieved that she did not enter the harem. Palace maid, it's much easier to deal with. So both of them obediently said goodbye to the emperor and went back to their own palace.
"Do you want to declare Lord Dugu? After the second concubine left, Peony looked at the emperor on the seat with a smile and asked softly.
The emperor was much more merciful than she imagined this time, and actually left Liangyue as the palace maid of Qianyuan Palace. It's not the Huanyi Bureau, it's not another palace, it's the Qianyuan Palace...
"Declare it. Emperor Mingxuan got up and walked to the inner hall, his face was frosted again, and he couldn't see what he was thinking.
Peony took the order and left, and after a while, he led Duguchen in.
Duguchen yawned and glanced at the emperor beside the bed, then looked at the person who was still unconscious on the bed, and muttered, "See the emperor." "
"Excuse me, go and see. Emperor Duguchen waved his hand, and the latter walked over slowly, checked Gu Liangyue's complexion, raised his eyebrows to look at the medicine stains beside the bed, and said, "Spit out the medicine?" "
"Well, why is that? Peony frowned slightly, and muttered, "The first half of the bowl was fine, and in the end, I spit it out after feeding a few bites." "
Duguchen snorted slightly, and sighed: "It's a good thing, she is willing to vomit, it's a good thing." "
What do you mean by that? Seeing that the emperor didn't mean to ask, Peony continued to ask.
Duguchen glanced at the emperor and said with a smile: "This ice cube is the most afraid of bitter medicine, didn't you see that I only prescribed external medicine before?" Being able to vomit medicine means that you are conscious. It really deserves to be Gu Liangyue, if it were someone else, she would have died of pain. "
Emperor Ming Xuan sat on the couch next to him and quietly served tea. Wen Yan just nodded slightly, and Man Sheng asked, "How long will she be sober?" "
Walking to the emperor and sitting down, Duguchen touched his chin and looked at him and said, "Well, I will probably wake up this evening." What is Your Majesty going to do with her? "
I went to him this morning, if I hadn't learned to endure it, I would have wanted to drag Mo Zhiyuan out immediately. This old guy doesn't do good things, when he opens his mouth, the emperor originally planned to forgive Gu Liangyue, but now it's impossible. He also wanted to wait for this ice cube to sober up and ask about the situation, if the emperor made a ruthless move, it would be boring.
"I made a decree to exempt her from the death penalty and enter the Qianyuan Palace as a palace maid. Emperor Mingxuan took a sip of tea and said calmly.
His eyes lit up, and Duguchen just wanted to open his mouth to ridicule the emperor, but he suddenly thought of something, and his face changed suddenly: "The palace maid of Qianyuan Palace? "
"Hmm. "
Duguchen was silent, Qianyuan Palace was Emperor Mingxuan's bedroom, and he put Gu Liangyue under his nose. But isn't it a little weird that the former princess was degraded to a palace maid? Zili seems to want to push Gu Liangyue to the cusp, this will, how can the harem be peaceful?
Peony hesitated for a moment, stepped forward and said: "Since it is income from Qianyuan Palace, then the slave maid should take someone to move Liangyue to another place, and this dragon couch must also be replaced with a new one, so as not to delay the emperor's rest." "
Emperor Mingxuan glanced at the dragon couch and nodded: "I want to go to the Empress Dowager's palace at noon, so you can dispose of these well." "
"Yes. "
Ordered someone to come in and clean up the medicine stains, and Peony cleaned up a wing room in the side hall of Qianyuan Palace. Duguchen sat in the tearoom drinking tea, watching Peony busy outside, and asked idly: "Your Majesty, you won't really listen to Old Man Mo's words in the morning, right?" "
Emperor Mingxuan was silent, holding the teacup without saying a word. Duguchen was a little anxious: "You know that Old Man Mo is used to doing it to you, so you obviously want you to think that the letter was done by Gu Liangyue, isn't it too obvious?" How can you still believe it? "
The emperor raised his eyebrows, and suddenly bent his lips, which made Duguchen tremble in fright.
"Whether I believe it or not, it all depends on whether Gu Liangyue can convince me. If she could, I could let her go, even if she was a murderer. If not, I will punish her, even if she is innocent! "
is a good and domineering statement, Duguchen pouts, it is clear that whether to kill or not depends on his mood, it is really torturous.
Just as he was about to speak, a hoarse voice came from the inner sanctum:
"How do you want me to convince? "
