When the late autumn day passed, the whole palace ushered in the first snow season, and in this winter, the Phoenix Palace was more comfortable and warm than other palaces.

First of all, Liancheng rewarded the snow coal produced from the snow mountain, and the amount of a day in the Phoenix Palace was the amount of half a month in other palaces. There are also rare and exotic fruits stuffed into the Western Regions to pay tribute, and in the huge deep palace, only Gu Qing is qualified to enjoy them.

This made the other concubines look at it with envy and jealousy, and even Ningxing Palace did not have such treatment.

Since there was no such treatment, Ningxing Palace was naturally full of complaints.

Especially Xiaoyu, in front of Gu Ning, she just wants her master to come forward to rectify Gu Qing. Don't let someone forget when the time comes, who is the master and who is the main palace in the palace!

Whenever Xiaoyu talked about this, Gu Ning took the trouble to persuade him that the time had not yet come.

Without an excellent opportunity, doing things will get twice the result with half the effort, Gu Ning is smart, so she will not be caught by others like before.

"By the way, how is Concubine Rong lately?" she asked carefully.

Since Su Yu's case, Gu Ning has asked Xiaoyu to secretly and thoroughly investigate Rong Guifei, and finally found out that she was really having an affair with someone. The first rule to understand in the palace is to clean yourself, and Concubine Wan's actions are really hitting her gun.

Xiaoyu said: "Back to the queen's mother, Concubine Rong is afraid of us." Now that Rong Huadian has not moved, how dare she act rashly?"

"That's fine. Isn't that what she wants?

"Niangniang, what are we going to do next? We can't keep making Concubine Wan proud, right?

Gu Ning sneered, how could she rest assured that Gu Qing would be left alone......? The time has not yet come.

"Queen Mother, there is a letter from outside the palace. A man who looked like a little eunuch walked out of the beaded curtain, took out a letter from his sleeve and presented it with both hands.

Xiaoyu took the letter and handed it to Gu Ning, only to see a few big words on it: Gu Ning personally opened.

From this handwriting, it can be seen that it is a letter sent by her mother Liu Ye, if it were a normal time, her mother would definitely come to the palace to visit her in person, but now this letter ......

Regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, Gu Ning opened the letter quickly, and the dense words line after line seemed to reveal a shocking secret, and after Gu Ning read it over and over again, he couldn't calm down for a long time.

"Queen Mother, what is written in the letter?" Xiao Yu saw that the situation was wrong, Gu Ning's expression could no longer be described by the word shock, not to mention shock? Such a shocking secret had been buried in the Gu Mansion?

Holding back the fluctuations in his heart, Gu Ning held the letter paper tightly in his hand and turned it into a paper ball, his eyes narrowed slightly: "The letter said that the brother of the palace is coming back." ”

"This is a good thing, why is the queen so shocked?"

"And ......" Gu Ning paused for a moment and said, "The good sister of this palace, that is, your noble concubine, do you know who she is?"

Xiao Yu looked surprised: "Isn't it Gu Mansion's...... Third Miss?"

The smile that bloomed at the corner of Gu Ning's mouth was like a smug flower, and his voice suddenly seemed like pouring wine, "What's more?"

————————————————

In the past, I could feel warm in winter, which was the kind of warmth from the bottom of my heart, but this winter, I was not so lucky.

Even though the fire in the Phoenix Palace was bright, Gu Qing still couldn't feel a trace of warmth, a trace of warmth that belonged to people's hearts.

The courtyard is deep, and only the sparrow is a thread with her.

"Somehow, Hongu always felt that this winter was exceptionally cold. "It's the kind of cold that sinks into the heart.

Gu Qing was holding the small stove in her hand, wisps of warmth overflowed from it, she looked at the stove and muttered.

The sparrow roasted an orange on top of another stove, she peeled it and handed it to Gu Qing to eat, and said with a smile: "The slave maid thinks that you are just thinking too much, and the slave maid feels quite warm this winter." If it snows heavily for the next ten days and half a month, you may not know what the cold will become. ”

Gu Qing took the orange and smiled without answering, the hot orange overflowed sweetly in his mouth.

"It's been a long time since there has been any news that my mother is well, so you sent someone to greet you outside the palace on behalf of the palace. ”

"Yes, concubine. ”

Seeing that his lower abdomen was slowly bulging, Gu Qing's heart became more and more on his throat. Since she was pregnant, everything she uses is close to her body and edible, and she has been repeatedly checked by special people, which shows how much Liancheng attaches importance to the child in her womb.

But the more this is the case, the more worried Gu Qing is about the days to come.

Obviously, no one in the palace wanted her to give birth to this child safely, but everyone was nested in the corner, and no one did anything in the open and in the dark, which made her very confused.

Yesterday, Gu Ning also brought the fruit rewarded by the emperor in Ningxing Palace, and only said that it represented his own heart.

Purpose...... Gu Qing was very frightened of this intention.

Jinque arranged for a little eunuch to go outside the palace to help inquire about the news of the Gu Mansion, and before evening, there was news.

The little eunuch knelt on his knees and kowtowed to the ground, and his voice was respectful and truthful: "Back to your concubine, Gu Mansion is fine." ”

What does it mean that there is nothing to do with Xiang'an? Gu Qing heard the clue in his words and forced him to ask, "Gu Mansion is fine, but what happened elsewhere?"

The little eunuch didn't know whether he should say it or not, but under the power of the silver rewarded by the sparrow, even if he wanted to keep it secret, he said: "Don't you know, concubine?

"What?"

"I heard that it was an order issued by the emperor himself, saying that it was a woman and a teenager who harbored the remnants of the former dynasty in Mufu, it seemed to be something...... The princess and prince of the previous dynasty ......"

"A few days ago, someone came to seal the Mu Mansion, and the entire Mu family was pressed into the prison, and even the one- or two-year-old child of Prime Minister Murong was not spared......

Gu Qing stood up suddenly, how many days ago, why didn't she hear any news?

There was only a bloody scene in my mind, pressed into the prison? What is this?

"Your concubine?" Seeing that she was in a hurry, Jinque hurriedly stepped forward to support her.

Is it tassels and weicai?

"Noble concubine, everything the slave said is true, none of it is false, this matter has been turned upside down in and out of the palace, I just don't know...... Why don't you know yet, concubine?"

"Enough! You dog minion, do you know what to say and what not to say? Get out!" Jinque was furious, she hugged Gu Qing tightly, and scolded the little eunuch with a stern face, the little eunuch didn't dare to say anything more when he accepted the silver, and crawled out of the inner hall.

"Noble concubine, don't be anxious, let's ask Gonggong Zhao about anything first......

Jinque knew that there was an old love between the master and the former Prime Minister Mu Cheng, even though the old love slowly dissipated over time, there was still a past, and now Murong was imprisoned in the prison for accepting the remnants of the previous dynasty.

Collecting the remnants, this is the sin of the Nine Clans!

Gu Qing sneered, and even his scalp couldn't help but tingle. She said, why did Liancheng kindly show her goodwill to show her affection? Why has the palace been safe and sound recently? Why hasn't she even heard any news and rumors from the outside world?

I see!

It turned out that Liancheng was hiding from her!

"Let's go!"

Gonggong Zhao just walked out of the Qiankun Hall when he saw the angry Gu Qing striding forward, he hurriedly bent down and saluted, looking a little worried: "Oh, my concubine, why are you here......?"

The Sparrow shook her head at him, as if there was some secret she couldn't tell. Father-in-law Zhao really couldn't understand what she meant, and in the face of the menacing Gu Qing, he could only smile and flatter, and keep saying good things.

"The emperor discussed state affairs with the courtiers last night, discussed for a night, and now he has free time. Concubine, do you want to go back first, and then go to the Phoenix Palace when the emperor is resting?"

Gu Qing's face was expressionless, but the more this was the case, the more it made Gonggong Zhao feel very depressed.

This look...... Did you know something? No? No one would say it, would it?

"This palace wants to see the emperor! If you don't see it for a while, you will wait for a while. If you don't see you for a lifetime, you will wait for a lifetime!" Gu Qing's tone was cold, and he couldn't hear a trace of emotional fluctuations at all.

"Your concubine, you ...... Isn't this embarrassing for the minions?" Zhao Gonggong looked at the closed door of the Qiankun Palace, and really felt that this was a troublesome matter.

"This palace asks you, is Mu Fu really imprisoned?, is the so-called remnants of the former dynasty real?" Gu Qing, who was eager to know the answer, became more and more anxious at this time.

I knew it would come one day, but I didn't know it would come so early. Zhao Gonggong pretended to cough and cleared his throat, and shook off the dust: "This matter is like this......"

"You just have to answer Hongu yes or no!"

She suddenly roared out of control, and her eyes widened with rage, and even the sparrow was startled.

"This ......" Zhao Gonggong was speechless, and when he was worried, the door of the Qiankun Hall was pushed open.

Gu Qing's eyes were slightly moist, and her heart, and even her entire body, couldn't stop trembling.

The sparrow was the first to notice the abnormality and became extremely nervous: "Noble concubine, your body is ......"

Zhao Gonggong also said: "Your concubine be careful, the fetus in the womb is important!"

The door of the Qiankun Hall opened, and the man who came out of the darkness inside was Liancheng. His eyes that seemed to have returned to their old days were extremely gloomy, and such sharp eyes looked at Gu Qing, which really made her feel scared from the bottom of her heart.

"What are you going to do?"

The short five words were the first words he said when he saw her.

What do you want to do? Gu Qing couldn't help but sneer, what could she do? What could she do if she stayed in such a deep palace?

"Concubine, what else can you do?" she asked feebly.

Behind Liancheng's hands, he was so arrogant, just like before, Gu Qing couldn't see through it at all.

"That's right, I did imprison all the people in the Mu Mansion, and they were all in prison. You also know how much of a crime it is to tolerate the remnants in private, right? Do you still need me to teach you such a simple truth?"

Such cold words without a trace of emotion really came out of his mouth.
