Chapter 130: The Heart of the Palace (4)
"Nothing. Just as a gust of wind outside the window blew in, blowing out a candle next to the bed, Gu Ning's face was hidden in the darkness: "I have already asked someone to prepare the sedan chair, you go out through the small door on this side of the inner room." If the emperor goes up to the Phoenix Palace to ask, I will say that you are here with me. ”
"Thank you, sister. ”
"You and I are sisters, why do you need to say thank you? When you see Yu Niang, remember to say hello to me. ”
At this moment, it was no longer clear what kind of meaning Gu Ning's tone was hiding, Xiao Yu walked in and showed Gu Qing the way, and opened a small door hidden in the inner room. Gu Qing hesitated slightly, the sparrow was still guarding outside the hall, did she want to tell her?
As if she had seen through her careful thoughts, Xiao Yu followed closely and said, "The slave maid over there has already told her, so you don't need to worry." ”
Before Gu Qing could say another word, he was pushed out of the inner room by Xiao Yu.
Under the guidance of Xiao Yu, Gu Qing got on a small sedan chair, she was full of what Yu Niang's condition was at the moment, she didn't observe the abnormalities around her at all, and she didn't see the dangerous light in her eyes when Xiao Yu sent her away.
I don't know what Xiaoyu explained to the palanquin, from Ningxing Palace to the palace gate, the road was unimpeded, and there was not even a patrol guard.
Gu Qing lifted the curtain and looked, she was already outside the palace, and now she was preparing to go to the Gu Mansion.
The night was getting hazy and hazy, and many shop vendors along the way had closed their doors, Gu Qing lay down at the window and looked at it for a long time, and suddenly his eyes stopped in front of a small vendor selling candy.
There stood a husband and wife, the man babbling something with a little boy in his arms, and the woman smiling.
Is that...... It's him.
Gu Qing's eyes drooped slightly, and he lowered the curtain and stopped looking.
The sedan chair walked into the alley little by little, and the street lamps became faint and inaudible little by little, just when Gu Qingzheng felt that the distance was extremely far, the sedan chair was suddenly put on the ground, and several sedan chair drivers left quietly without saying a word.
When Gu Qing stabilized his mind and opened the curtain and poked his head out, he saw a bright light.
————————————————
The sparrow waited outside the hall for a long time, but never saw Gu Qing come out. When it was almost midnight, she was impatient to wait, so she called the palace maid who was guarding the palace outside the palace to come in and ask, and the people in the same palace could talk better.
Unexpectedly, it was Xiaoyu who came out to answer with a smug face and a joke, she held her hands on her chest and raised her toes, which was very different from the appearance of receiving Gu Qing just now: "What are you doing?
"What did you say?" Jinque looked shocked, but she was guarding the palace gate from beginning to end, and her eyes never left Ningxing Palace for a moment, how could the noble concubine leave?
"Didn't you hear what I said clearly? What I'm saying is that your master has left the palace, and she has gone to find her former lover outside the palace. ”
"You're talking nonsense! Your concubine is not that kind of person! Get out of the way, I'm going to go in and see what is going on!" The brocade was extremely angry, pushed away Xiaoyu and strode into the inner hall, Gu Ning, who was sitting above, suddenly threw down a teacup, only to see her eyes glazed, and her voice was especially cold and loud: "Presumptuous! This is the Ningxing Palace of this palace, where can you allow such a maid to be presumptuous? Come on, pull down and beat this palace hard!"
"Queen Mother, my noble concubine ......"
"Because she misses her old lover, Concubine Wan begged the palace several times to let her out, don't you know? Fortunately, the palace is kind-hearted, and she has fulfilled her wish, what? no?" Regardless of how shocked His Highness was the sparrow, Gu Ning waved his long sleeves and called: "Xiaoyu, let's go, let's go to the Qiankun Palace to report to the emperor!"
"Yes, Queen. ”
The sparrow was paralyzed with fright, and several palace maids immediately rushed up below to drive her to the side hall, and she could not tolerate a trace of resistance and disobedience.
A dull thump and the occasional clattering of the sparrow's teeth gradually came out.
Gu Ning stood outside the hall for a long time, and she was about to leave the palace at about the hour, and took Xiaoyu and her party to the Qiankun Palace.
"Your Majesty, the queen asks to see you. ”
Zhao Gonggong came in to report according to the rules, and he didn't even raise the head of the city and said, "I'm not available." ”
Gonggong Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then added: "The queen said that she came here for the matter of the concubine." At dinner, Concubine Wan went to see the queen, hoping that she would help her get out of the palace......"
"Out of the palace, if you stay well, why do you want to go out? What about the others? Summoning her over. After hearing Gu Qing's name, Lian Cheng raised his head and threw the fold in his hand, and his head hurt when he saw it.
"This ...... Otherwise, the emperor would invite the queen in, presumably the queen will make it clear. ”
Yes, no one knows better than her the cause and the process of this incident.
When Gu Ning stepped into the Qiankun Palace, Lian Cheng barely looked at her, her expression was calm and not annoyed, she knelt under His Royal Highness and prostrate, her forehead went straight to the cold floor, and her crisp and bright voice was especially clear above the main hall: "Your Majesty......! Escape from the palace!"
Lian Cheng got up suddenly, slapped his palm on the bookcase, and fell to the ground in a tremor.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Just an hour ago, the palace kindly invited her to Ningxing Palace to share dinner, but she didn't seem to have much appetite, and she told the concubine that she didn't want to stay in the palace anymore and didn't want to live this kind of ...... I was looking forward to the emperor's days every day, and the concubines persuaded her for a long time, but the concubines insisted on pestering the concubines to send her out of the palace, and even ......"
"Or even what?" The cold tone seemed to come from the gaze of the abyss, and the obvious change in tone couldn't hide it from anyone, even Gonggong Zhao sighed secretly when he stayed aside.
What's the matter with this graceful concubine? Every once in a while, there will be a lot of trouble.
"Even threatened the concubine, there was no palace maid in the palace, Wan Guifei actually took out a knife from her arms and put it against the throat of the concubine, the concubine ......"
Talking and crying, Xiaoyu immediately knelt on the ground when she heard the sound, and her voice sounded extremely miserable: "Your Majesty, you have to be the master of the queen's mother! Look at it, the blood marks on the queen's neck are all good deeds done by Wan Gui Concubine's ruthless heart." The slave maid also heard Wan Guifei say that she was worried that the emperor would find out the truth about Su Yu's death and that she would bear those charges...... What else did you say, especially missing that Mu or something......"
Xiaoyu said it sentence by sentence according to the prepared lines, coupled with her sad face that she was worried about her master, so that Liancheng had to not believe it. What's more, this time it was obvious that he stepped on his idea!
Murong! It must be him!
I didn't expect her to think like that? What about the warmth before? What is it?
"The concubine is afraid that something will happen to her out of the palace, and she has sent someone to protect her secretly, presumably she is about to leave the palace now, and the emperor ......"
"Come on, let Su Han take the elite soldiers to chase me! Even if you chase me to the ends of the earth, I will chase me back!" At this time, no matter how much he roared, he couldn't make up for the anger in his heart, it was a kind of pain of his beloved being lost, being abandoned and discarded.
Liancheng's most hated thing in his life.
"Your Majesty, ...... you are angry"
"Queen, as a middle palace, dereliction of duty, let go of the palace without permission, guilty! From now on, deduct the money of Ningxing Palace and other cadres, and deduct all the materials in Ningxing Palace!"
Knowing that he would say this, Gu Ning was extremely calm in his heart, but he pretended to be sad and regretful on his face, and covered his heart with one hand and said, "Concubine...... Thank you for the emperor's sin, and the concubines deserve it!"
After coming out of the Qiankun Palace, Gu Ning was helped down the steps by Xiaoyu, she held her forehead, and after a burst of crying inside, her head hurt very much.
After leaving the Qiankun Hall for a while, she found a pavilion to sit down and rest, the wind blowing in the middle of the night made people feel cold, Gu Ning's heart was a little heavier, what was she doing with such fanfare today?
Is it to take revenge on Gu Qing, or is it just to express his dissatisfaction?
Xiao Yu squeezed her shoulders gently behind her, and asked from time to time: "Queen Mother, is the strength appropriate?"
She muffled her voice, but her mind was full of Gu Qing's departing figure and Liancheng's angry expression.
He was never ...... I have never been so concerned about myself.
"If the time is correct, by the time she just leaves the palace, the people led by General Su Han should also chase them down. Bengong just wants to see what different wording she has to excuse herself. But in this heart, I always feel unsteady, like I have done something wrong. ”
"Queen Mother, don't think like this, you are not wrong, and it is also the fault of the noble concubine Wan if you are at fault, what does it have to do with you?" Xiaoyu persuaded.
"Bengu just thinks, will she blame Bengong?
"Niangniang, don't think about it, let the emperor solve this matter, it's useless for you to worry about it. It's already fun, let's go back, the lights in Ningxing Palace are on, and they're still waiting for us. ”
is like a child who has done something bad for the first time and is waiting to be judged, Gu Ning's heart is full of ups and downs, but what can Gu Qing do with her?
The chaotic thoughts in his heart were slowly stabilized, Gu Ning only felt that his steps were a little weak, and he insisted all the way and finally returned to Ningxing Palace.
The palace maid came forward to report: "Queen Mother, Aunt Jinque has been sent back to the Phoenix Palace." ”
"How's her injury?" asked Xiaoyu.
"I can't die yet. ”
"That's good, you go down. ”
Thirty boards for no reason, even a man may not be able to survive, let alone a weak woman? Xiaoyu's eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness, she and Jinque are both palace maids, and there is nothing wrong with each other, but each other's masters are different, and they are destined to have different journeys in the future.
They can't be friends.
"You go down too, tonight this palace will wait for news from there, I'm afraid it's sleepless. ”
Xiaoyu opened her mouth to persuade something, but finally swallowed it, said hello, and shouted at the palace maids to retreat.
Inside, it's quiet.
