Chapter 066: Waiting Late at Night
readx;? Chenlu was kneeling on the main hall of Jianzhang Palace at that time, watching Zhou Mei and Yang Liangren bite each other, and watching the Queen Mother get angry, and even wanted to execute herself because she heard something she shouldn't have heard, and sighed in her heart Yun Yao's unpredictable prophet, all these things are as if Yun Yao knew in advance, and they are exactly the same. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Therefore, when she said the words of Yun Yaojiao and took the fake death medicine, she would be so resolute and not hesitate.
"Young Envoy Yun, I actually have a question for you. After Chen Lu sighed, he remembered the doubts in his heart, and asked again.
"What's the matter?" Yun Yao asked.
"The whole plan not only involves Jiuhua Palace, Mingluan Palace, and Jianzhang Palace, but also Yongxiang, how do you manage to make even the people of Yongxiang available to you?
"No, it's not about me, it's about you. Yun Yao smiled lightly and told Chenlu everything about it.
It turned out that it all started when Dawn was tortured to death in Yongxiang.
Let's say that after Chenxi's death, Yun Yao always felt a little uneasy in her heart, although Chenxi made a big mistake, but after all, she was just a pawn of the superior, and she really didn't deserve to be so embarrassed.
For Yun Yao, since she killed Shuwen with her own hands and her hands were forced to be stained with blood, she has been on this road and has been unable to turn back. She knows her choice, dead people are a common thing, and she can't change it, so the only thing she can do is to remind herself not to forget, not to forget those who are extenuating circumstances.
And Dawn was one of these dead.
Therefore, Yun Yao took a time, and after getting Rong Ya's permission, on the day that Chenxi was carried out and buried, she went to the side gate of Yongxiang to see Chenxi off, which can be regarded as doing her best, after all, they have been together for such a long time.
But on this day, Yun Yao found that there was another person who was also seeing off Chenxi, who was the old lady who was on an errand in Yongxiang.
The old lady hid behind the palace gate, watching Chenxi's body wrapped in a broken straw mat and carried out, not like treating people at all, but like treating animals, and her heart ached for a while.
This sad expression happened to fall in Yun Yao's eyes, a smart person like her, she knew at a glance that there was an indescribable connection between this old lady and Chenxi. So Yun Yao found the old mama, and after inquiring carefully, she learned the truth of the matter.
It turned out that the old lady and Chenxi and their sisters were fellow villagers, before entering the palace in the past, they had been helped by Chenxi's mother, and that year there was a famine in their hometown, and the old lady almost starved to death, and it was Chenxi's mother who gave her her family's rations to eat, so that she could save her life, and finally entered the palace as a palace maid.
Later, Chenxi's mother died of illness, and before she died, she wrote a letter to the old woman, entrusting her to take care of her two daughters, and told the old grandmother that Chenxi and Chenlu had planned to enter the palace, even if they couldn't choose a show girl, it would be good to be a palace maid and get an errand.
After receiving the letter, the old lady hurriedly used her contacts for so many years to inquire, and finally found out that the two sisters entered the palace, originally serving the concubines of the first emperor, but the first emperor died, and those concubines and princes also went to their respective fiefdoms, and now the emperor has ascended the throne, and the two sisters also have a good place to go.
Originally, they were only responsible for cleaning the palace, but after the Holy Concubine was established, the sisters were promoted to become the second-class palace maids of the Hehuan Hall and the Mingluan Hall respectively.
Seeing that the sisters have been safe and sound, the old grandmother has not identified herself, but has been taking care of her secretly, but the old lady is soft-spoken, and she is on an errand in Yongxiang, no matter what is always out of reach, even if she wants to help, she is powerless. Even Chenxi was convicted, and it was only after she was sent to Yongxiang that the old lady understood the whole story.
The old lady wanted to save Chenxi, but before she could come up with a countermeasure, Chenxi was pushed into the well and drowned by those deranged people in Yongxiang, so the eunuchs could only carry Chenxi out and bury it, so as not to be unlucky here.
"The old lady felt ashamed of your sisters, that she had not taken good care of you, and that she had failed your mother's trust, and that she could not let go until I went to her and asked her to help me complete this plan, as long as I dragged the eunuchs and prevented them from carrying you away, and the old lady agreed. In the end, Yun Yao said, "The so-called good cause gets good results, the good cause planted by your mother, the morning light is not blessed, and you will inherit it in the end." ”
"I see. Chenlu nodded, a thoughtful look in her eyes.
"Okay, you can rest, but you have to remember that you must not leave this room, if there is anything, I will come to you. Yun Yao said, "Your daily meal is brought to you by Zhuzhi, and when we arrange everything outside, we will find a way to take you out." ”
"I see, thank you, Young Envoy Yun. Chenlu listened to Yun Yao's words and thanked her, grateful in her heart.
I don't know why, when she witnessed things going on step by step like Yun Yao's speculation, she had a kind of unwarranted belief in the girl in front of her. Even if she gambled her life, she believed that Yun Yao could send her out of this palace safely.
"You're welcome, just ...... I'm making up for what I owe to Dawn. Yun Yao thought about it for a while, and finally said such a sentence.
In fact, Chenxi's death has nothing to do with Yun Yao, it was Yang Liangren who bought Chenxi, and Chenxi made a big mistake when he cursed in the palace, and it was expected that he would be convicted, even if he wanted to make up for it, it shouldn't be Yun Yao.
But in order to remind herself, killing and saving people is often just a thought, as Sister Pixheart once said, she must always maintain her original intention in order not to be swallowed by this cold court.
After settling down in the morning dew, Yun Yao and Zhuzhi left here and went back separately.
The night was dark, and no one knew that on this night, a trick of stealing the day had already been staged in this Daning Palace City. Everyone thinks they are in control of the whole game, but they don't know that they have become a pawn on someone else's chessboard.
Yun Yao returned to the house, finished washing, and lay down to rest. In the past two days, she has been busy letting Zhou Meiren and Yang Liangren kill each other, busy arranging the way out of Morning Dew, and busy dealing with follow-up matters, she is indeed very tired, not to mention, her own body has just recovered, and it has taken a lot of effort to apply needles to Morning Dew, and the whole person is a little tired.
Therefore, not long after lying down, Yun Yao fell into a deep sleep.
Seeing this, Gu Chen, who had been secretly protecting Yun Yao, looked at the sky, it was already the second half of the night, and estimated that Yun Yao should not be in any danger, so he left the Hehuan Palace, and took advantage of the fact that the palace guards were the most tired, and left the palace and returned to the General's Mansion.
Since waking up, Gu Qingming has received the emperor's permission, so he doesn't need to go to the morning court, and he doesn't have to go to the barracks for the time being, but has a good rest at home. Because of the detoxification, coupled with the fact that his body is already very good, the injury has recovered relatively quickly, and after several days of recuperation, he can already get out of bed and walk.
At this time, Gu Qingming was standing in front of the window, looking at the faint moonlight, his eyes were stunned, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
For so many days, there seems to be a chasm between him and Yun Yao, a high palace wall, blocking a pair of lovers from seeing each other. They obviously spent the moon before and after, and they also lived and died together, but fate made people, and the end of the world was close at hand.
"General, Achen is back. Gu Yan's voice sounded behind him, awakening Gu Qingming's thoughts.
What he can do every day now is to wait until the second half of the night, when Gu Chen comes back from the palace, to bring him news about Yun Yao. However, Gu Chen has not come back for three consecutive days, and when he finally came back today, it was not in vain that he waited every night.
"General. Gu Chen took a step forward and bowed his hand towards Gu Qingming, wanting to kneel down and salute, but was soon supported by Gu Qingming.
"No need to be polite, how is she?" Gu Qingming was anxious, wanting to know Yun Yao's current situation, after all, there was no news in the past few days, and he was more worried than anyone else.
Gu Chen didn't hide it, and directly told everything Yun Yao did in the palace, including how Yun Yao designed Zhou Meiren and Yang Liangren, how to help the emperor reduce the power of the Queen Mother, and how to turn things around with meager strength but remained silent.
As Gu Chen narrated, a slight smile flashed in Gu Qingming's eyes.
From the time he met Yun Yao, he knew that this girl was smart and transparent, but he didn't expect that Yun Yao would have such great wisdom, not only to protect himself, but even to help Shen Ze do so many things.
And Gu Qingming also knew that Yun Yao did these things for him, for their Gu family's legacy, and for his ambition to protect the Shen family.
Also shocked was Gu Yan, he had the honor to see this girl, on the night she almost died of a poison test, such a thin body, but with an extremely strong soul.
And he was glad that this woman was dedicated to helping Gu Qingming, she was growing up in her own way, growing into a person who could work side by side with the three words "Gu Qingming", instead of becoming Gu Qingming's weakness and becoming a weapon for others to attack Gu Qingming.
"General, please rest assured, Miss Yun is all right in the palace, and her subordinates will swear to protect her. After talking about everything, Gu Chen immediately said.
"With your words, I am relieved. Gu Qingming nodded and sighed.
As soon as he finished speaking, because he didn't rest well every night, waiting for Gu Chen to pass the news from the palace, his body was a little weak, and his serious injuries had not healed, so he couldn't help but stumble a few steps, but fortunately he was supported by Gu Yan in time.
"General, Miss Yun is very smart, and with Gu Chen's secret protection, there shouldn't be anything going on, so you better rest in peace." Gu Yan persuaded, "After a while, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the emperor will definitely hold a palace banquet at that time, and Miss Yun, as the queen's personal female official, will naturally attend with her." The general needs to take care of himself before he can see Miss Yun. ”
"You're right, I have to recover before the Mid-Autumn Festival before I can enter the palace to see her. Gu Qingming agreed with Gu Yan's words, let Gu Yan help him, walked to the bed, and lay down to rest.
Seeing this, Gu Chen felt a little more at ease, and then said goodbye to Gu Yan and turned around and returned to the palace.
Yun Yao was still asleep, and the palace was still silent, no one knew how unfathomable martial arts this person hidden in the shadows was, and his mission was only to protect this woman who was willing to sacrifice her life for Gu Qingming.
