Chapter 109: Night Party
Nominally, she is already the emperor's concubine, and if she is caught having a private meeting with someone, it will definitely be a big deal.
As soon as she thought about it, she hadn't seen Murong for a long time, and she didn't know about him and tassels...... How's it going?
You have just been made a concubine, and I don't know how many people in the palace are anxious to see your jokes, and they can't fulfill their wishes. Jinque spoke earnestly, and didn't want Gu Qing to meet Murong at all.
But......
Gu Qing was a little hesitant, and didn't give Jinque an accurate answer for a long time.
It seemed that she already had an idea, and the sparrow knew that she was powerless to persuade, so she sighed: "It's not that the slave and maid are lenient, but you must know that the people in the palace love to talk nonsense with their eyes open." The slave and maid are afraid of you, and they have fallen into the way of others. ”
Gu Qing's eyes sank: "I know." But I wanted to meet him. ”
The sparrow has done her best, and if it doesn't make sense, let her go.

The time to make an appointment with Murong was when he was in his son, and Gu Qing took a nap in advance to ensure that he had enough mental activity, so he was afraid that something would go wrong at that time, and it would be easier for him to think about problems with a clear mind.
Jinque specially sent a set of palace maid's clothes, as a personal slave, she has done a lot, especially when Gu Qing became a talented person, everything was for her sake.
"Cairen, you should wear this dress when the time comes, and prepare for everything in case of emergency. ”
"Uh-huh. ”
By the time they had agreed with Murong, most of the guards and concubines in the palace had rested, and only the lanterns in the corridor were flickering, reminding everyone that it was another long night.
There is a small pond outside the Phoenix Palace, and there is a small pavilion next to the pool, called Mochizuki Pavilion.
Gu Qing was alone, walking along the shadows of the branches along the way, tiptoeing, it felt like being a thief.
She was still very empty in her heart, and there was a constant throbbing sound in her heart.
There was a figure standing in the pavilion, dressed in white, even if it was an endless night, it could not hide the chic of the white clothes.
That person was none other than Murong.
Hearing the sound of broken footsteps behind him, he turned his head sideways and saw Gu Qing in a pink palace dress, looking a little embarrassed.
"Ah Qing. ”
The light and shallow voice was very clear in the dark night, and Gu Qing responded in a low voice.
Murong's appearance still hasn't changed, but his eyebrows seem to be haggard.
"You ......"
"You ......"
The two spoke at the same time, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.
"A-Qing, you speak first. "Men's etiquette, Murong said first.
Gu Qing was puzzled, what did she say? Didn't Murong let her come?
"I said, didn't you ask me to meet?" she asked, wondering in her heart.
Unexpectedly, Murong's eyes sank, and he asked rhetorically, "When did I make an appointment with you? Didn't you send someone to the mansion to let me enter the palace?"
!!
As soon as his words came out, Gu Qing was stunned and asked blankly: "This afternoon, a little eunuch came to tell me that you will meet here when you ask my son, is it ...... Isn't it?"
There was already a faint sense of uneasiness in my heart, as if I really responded to Jinque's words.
"Shen Shi, didn't you send someone to find me?"
Sure enough, something was wrong! Both of them reacted that someone had deliberately invited them together in the pavilion in the name of dealing with each other, so as not to arouse suspicion between them.
————
The lights in the Qiankun Hall are bright, and after correcting the last book, the sleepiness of the city is coming, and the eyes are closed to recuperate a little.
Gonggong Zhao asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, where are you resting today?"
In recent days, he has stayed in the imperial study, and there are many warblers and swallows in the palace, and he can't help but feel irritable.
suddenly remembered Gu Qing, and after rewarding her for the position of a talented person, she stayed in the Phoenix Palace all day and did not come out. I didn't cause anything, but it was suddenly quiet, and I was a little unaccustomed.
"It's better to ...... Let's go to Gu Cairen. ”
In his heart, he hasn't seen him for a few days, and he can't wait.
Gonggong Zhao saw through the things between men and women with a pair of eyes, and knew that the emperor had something to mean to Gu Qing. So he packed up everything in the Qiankun Palace and prepared to drive the Phoenix Palace.
————
"Look! there it is!"
On the other side, there was a huge crowd of people, carrying lanterns, walking towards the pavilion.
There were a large number of people who came, and the group was in a hurry, and they didn't dare to slack off at all.
"Oh no!" Gu Qing panicked, and in the crowd that was walking towards them, it was Gu Ning who was the leader. Next to her were Rong Guifei and Su Guifei.
Murong was well aware of the seriousness of the consequences of this matter, she was already someone else's concubine, and she could no longer have anything to do with her. Even if you just stand and talk, you will be punished as if you were catching a traitor.
It's nothing for him to be a man, but Gu Qing is not easy to explain.
"Ah Qing, you go quickly, go around the place where there is no light and leave first. ”
"But you ......"
"When they found out that I was a trivial matter, they didn't dare to do anything to me. But you don't have to, be obedient, leave first. ”
Murong said as he pushed and shoved, pushing Gu Qing out of the pavilion.
No matter how much you try to escape, it won't help.
Because beforehand, someone had already blocked the entire scene.
Gu Qing ran out of the pavilion, and as soon as he walked a few steps, he was stopped by the Praetorian Guards.
"Gu Cairen, please stay. ”
When has there been a Praetorian Guard in the harem? How did she alarm the Praetorian Guard? Gu Qing understood that she had been trapped, and the person who called the little eunuch to come and make false news had already done everything and was waiting for her to throw herself into the net.
Murong also knew that it was too late, his fingers clenched into fists, determined to protect Gu Qing at this moment.
"Niangniang, look, isn't that your good cousin?" The person who spoke was Su Guifei, and she had a smug look on her face, for fear of missing Gu Qing's embarrassed appearance at the moment.
Looking at Gu Ning again, her makeup was a little messy, and her clothes were not neat, she should have fallen asleep, and then she was woken up by others again before coming here.
And compare Su Guifei and Rong Guifei, with neat makeup and a good complexion. Gu Qing pursed her lips slightly and didn't speak, looking at everything in front of her indifferently.
"Gu Cairen?" As if he didn't believe it, Gu Ning walked a few steps and asked incredulously: "Aren't you sick?" Why are you still ...... in the middle of the night? With the Prime Minister?"
As soon as Gu Qing was about to speak, Su Guifei immediately grabbed the words and said: "Aren't you going to have a private meeting with your lover? ”
"Don't talk nonsense!" Gu Qing suddenly opened his mouth and reprimanded: "I and the prime minister, innocent, how can I have a private meeting with my lover?"
"Yo, the little mouth is quite hard, according to the concubine, she has to be tortured to make her spit out the truth. Su Guifei was full of thoughts.
Murong said: "See the queen mother." ”
Gu Ning turned his eyes and said lightly: "No courtesy." ”
"Weichen and Gu Cairen are indeed innocent. The meeting here by mistake tonight is really framed by the villain, and I hope the queen will see it. ”
Gu Ning was a little angry, and he didn't speak politely at all, "Mingcha? How did the prime minister let the palace clearly investigate? There are so many concubines in the palace, and there are still many Tang ministers in the Ming Dynasty, why are you and Gu Cairen here?
"Wechen ......"
"Murong, you are so bold!"
Suddenly, a heavy shout startled everyone present, and when he looked back, it was the emperor himself.
Liancheng originally came to the Phoenix Palace with great interest, but on the path outside the palace gate, he saw such a ridiculous scene.
His once good brother turned out to be ......
"Your Majesty, Weichen has something to say......
"The queen is right, in front of everyone, witnessing the dirty things you have done, do you still have to quibble now?" Liancheng's face was ugly, his face was blue, and a raging fire was burning around him.
His gaze was like a sharp sword, and everywhere he went, there was silence.
No one present dared to say anything, and the queen also took a few steps back, since the emperor had arrived here, it was time for him to come forward to solve it.
Liancheng looked at Gu Qing, with a hint of ruthlessness and unwillingness in his eyes, he stepped forward quickly, pressed her chin, and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "What is so good about him?"
Seeing Liancheng so fierce for the first time, Gu Qing panicked a little, but he still wanted to explain to him clearly: "Your Majesty, listen to me......"
"My Gu Cairen, do you also want to justify? Tsk, but I don't want to hear your defense in front of so many people, why don't we go back to the palace now and explain to me in the bed?"
Such vulgar and explicit words were also openly uttered by him.
Gu Qing didn't know which tendon he was wrong, but when he saw him angry, he wanted to prove himself, but this was not the case.
"Prime Minister Murong had a private meeting with the palace maid and committed a taboo in the palace. From now on, he will be deposed from the position of prime minister and demoted to a commoner. ”
His voice was clear and clear, resounding in every corner.
Everyone noticed that Liancheng was talking about the palace maid, not the concubine, he was actually protecting Gu Qing.
Gu Ning's chest fluctuated, jealous and unwilling for what he heard.
Everyone present saw and heard it, and the emperor clearly showed his partiality to Gu Qing and harmed Murong.
"Why?" Gu Qing asked loudly. It's obvious that she did something wrong, why should Murong pay for it?
Murong's voice was low: "Ah Qing, it's okay." ”
Gu Qing's eyes turned to him, "It's not your fault, someone is framing me." And you're just a shield. ”
Liancheng's face was pale, he just called her, Aqing?
He didn't even know that she had this alias.
For a while, she was jealous again, ignoring everyone present, she picked up Gu Qing by the waist and walked towards the Phoenix Palace, no matter how much she struggled, it would be useless.
"You let me down! If you want to kill me, you can kill me! I'm not afraid of you!"
Gu Qing's loud voice kept echoing around the pond water, and Gu Ning and the others were left looking at each other, at a loss.
It seems that the emperor is going to stay in the Phoenix Palace tonight.
"Gu Cairen's private meeting with his lover is such a big thing, doesn't the emperor care?" Su Guifei felt incredible, if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have thought that the emperor would have such an abnormal behavior tonight.
Gu Ning listened to the words in his ears, and it hurt in his heart.
immediately hid the loss on his face, "The big guys are all scattered, the emperor will give an explanation to the sisters." ”
"Explain, listening to what the emperor just meant, it seems that not only is he not to blame, but he also wants to pamper Gu Cairen......"
Gu Ning paused, still as if he didn't hear it, and then walked away quickly.
Murong's figure is very lonely, presumably Gu Qing will be intact, and his official position is not important to him, if it is gone, it will be gone.
