Chapter 625: The Old Lady
Gu Wanyin and Zhou Ruijing went back to the palace to change their clothes first, and then went to the second room. Originally, she thought that in case no one came over to report the news in the second room, she wanted people to go over and tell her to pass on the news, after all, they were all from the Zhou family, and it was not good to be completely cold-eyed. Just thinking about causing something else, he just pressed it down, and in the end he still didn't let people go over to talk about it, but just sent someone to return to the old lady and said that they were going over to ask for peace.
They passed through the corner gate that was connected to the house.
I don't know what the reason is, the second room seems to be exceptionally deserted, not as lively as other mansions at all, Gu Wanyin took a closer look and found that it was a lantern, and it was very little hung. Another is that there are fewer people coming and going. But think about it, it's the same - although the second room is beautiful now, but listening to the third wife, the second wife is having a very unpleasant life, and it is normal to have no heart to fiddle with these. Moreover, the second wife has always been slamming the door, and she is probably unwilling to spend money to buy these glamorous ones.
All the way to the old lady's courtyard, Gu Wanyin and Zhou Ruijing were directly welcomed in. It was the silver heron who came out to greet him. Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, Yinlu lowered her voice and said to Gu Wanyin: "The old lady has not had a good time these days. It's not going well everywhere. ”
Gu Wanyin nodded, and sighed secretly in her heart. The old lady will not be difficult to predict this day. Now that there are so many things in the second room, where can it be smooth? It's the fight between the second wife and Tao, and it won't go well. Moreover, the second master seems to be filial, but in fact, he ...... The old lady can be regarded as self-inflicted. At the beginning, I was determined to follow the second room, but now I ...... I don't know if the old lady regrets it at this moment?
Because of the tight time, it didn't take a few steps to enter the house, so Yinlu only had time to say such a sentence. However, although it is only a short sentence, it contains a lot of information. At least it reminded Gu Wanyin to be careful-the old lady was not happy, so she naturally didn't have a good face for her.
And, the silver heron said this. The most important thing is to show an attitude - even if she followed the old lady to the second room, Yinlu is still her person.
Gu Wanyin naturally understood this, so she nodded and smiled at Yinlu.
Entering the house, the old lady is crooked on the warm kang, the weather is cold, although the stove is lit, but in the end it is no better than the young man, since the winter, the old lady is too much in the warmth.
Gu Wanyin glanced at the old lady carefully. After a few days, the old lady seemed to be a little haggard. Although I tried to dress up as energetically, I couldn't hide the tiredness that I stole from within;
The two of them greeted the old lady together, and sat down. The second wife was not there. There was no one else in the room for a while.
"Grandmother, today the Holy Majesty has appointed Duan Guifei as the queen and King Jin as the crown prince." The room was quiet, and Zhou Ruijing suddenly said this, and his voice made people can't help but be startled and tremble slightly.
Gu Wanyin raised her head and looked at Zhou Ruijing, with some disapproval in her eyes - the old lady was already so haggard, wouldn't it make the old lady feel more comfortable when she talked about these things? It's not there anymore. There are fewer meetings, and when they meet, they naturally shouldn't talk about these unpleasant things.
However, Zhou Ruijing's expression was calm, and he didn't mean to speak again. Gu Wanyin breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and hurriedly turned her head to see my old lady's reaction.
The old lady was stunned for a moment, and then smiled—but it was bitter to look at. There is even some sadness. After a long time, the old lady opened her mouth and sighed: "I didn't expect that in the end, it was King Jin who became the crown prince." Duan Guifei became the queen. Unexpectedly, the only heir of the former queen was ......"
Gu Wanyin and Zhou Ruijing didn't talk to each other, everyone understood that this was just a few words of emotion from the old lady, and they didn't really say it to anyone.
After a long time, the old lady asked again: "What about the Queen Mother?" ”
"The Queen Mother's old illness has recurred, and it is very serious." Zhou Ruijing replied in a deep voice. And there is not the slightest hint of concealment.
This time, the old lady was silent even longer. After a long time, he said in a low voice: "I understand, you can go back." "I didn't mean to say anything more.
It's just that the two of them have just arrived, and their butts haven't been heated yet, so where can they just leave? Zhou Ruijing pondered for a moment. That is, he said, "I'll sit with my grandmother for a while." It's Lantern Festival. "It's a day for family reunion. Originally, the three people in the three rooms were busy with the old lady for the holidays. It's just that looking at the current scene, no one has that mind.
The old lady's gloomy eyes had a hint of warmth, and she nodded and said, "It's okay." It's just that he didn't seem to know what to say, and after thinking for a long time, he said again: "What about your mother and children?" ”
"It's still on Zhuangzi. I didn't bother to toss back and forth when it was cold, so Suo Xing waited for the spring to come back. Zhou Ruijing replied softly, I don't know what I remembered, his voice was extraordinarily soft, and his face was also gentle. Gu Wanyin watched from the side, knowing that he remembered his daughter, so he also lowered his head and smiled. Then I felt a little sad - when I came back, I was afraid that I would grow up a lot, right? Around that time, I started to start teething, and I might be able to walk again...... I don't know if Xizhao still remembers her and Zhou Ruijing at that time?
Thinking like this, I just feel that my heart can't wait to fly to Zhuangzi and see my daughter. Even with it, naturally I didn't hear what Zhou Ruijing and the old lady said clearly. But that's fine, she doesn't speak, and the old lady may feel more comfortable.
But the old lady suddenly said: "Jing'er, if there is really such a day, I don't ask for anything else, you must save the life of your second uncle's family." As for the rest...... It doesn't matter. ”
Gu Wanyin couldn't help but look up at the old lady. When the old lady said this, there was a sense of weakness, and even a hint of pleading, which was completely different from before. It's almost like two people, which is really shocking. For a moment, Gu Wanyin only felt as if she had heard it wrong. How could such a thing be said by an old lady?
But it was the old lady herself who said this;
Gu Wanyin could feel the powerlessness in the old lady's words. She suddenly felt that the old lady was really old. Without the domineering that he had to control everything before, and without the momentum that came with Xingzi, he was really an old man. It's so old that I can barely do anything. The old lady must feel powerless, right? She wanted to keep the second room, but she didn't expect it to be ...... now
The old lady felt that King Qin had no chance to turn over. That's why she pleaded with Zhou Ruijing like this. Naturally, as long as Zhou Ruijing wants to, it may not be a problem to save Xing's life in the second room. After all, Zhou Ruijing has an excellent relationship with King Jin, that is, the crown prince. However, if you really want to save the life of the second room, it is not so easy. Moreover, even if Zhou Ruijing is willing, will the second room cooperate?
Gu Wanyin felt that it might be difficult. At the same time, she couldn't help but think again, if it was King Qin who had the upper hand today, would the old lady also beg the people in the second room to save the life of the big house?
Gu Wanyin couldn't think of an answer to this question after thinking about it for a long time, or she didn't want to think of an answer. I'm afraid that answer is too hurtful.
Zhou Ruijing pondered for a moment, but did not give a firm answer, but said softly but solemnly: "I will do my best." It's just ......" He didn't finish the rest of the words, but it wasn't hard to guess what those unspoken words were.
The old lady nodded, although she was a little stunned, but she didn't embarrass Zhou Ruijing too much. However, with Zhou Ruijing's assurance, the old lady also felt a lot more relieved. Zhou Ruijing is a person who does what he says, the old lady is very sure of this. Therefore, with this sentence, when it comes to that point, Zhou Ruijing will do his best.
After sitting silent for a while, the old lady opened her mouth again: "I'm also tired, and you have a lot of things, so let's go back." Yinlu, send it to the prince for me. ”
So the two of them retreated, and just walked to the door but were almost bumped into by the second wife. The second wife looked very flustered, her hairpin was a little crooked, and she looked at Zhang Huang very much. Even, seeing the two of them, the second wife didn't even have time to say hello, but hurried into the house.
Gu Wanyin and Zhou Ruijing glanced at each other, and they both saw a little clarity from the bottom of each other's eyes.
The second wife should have known about Zhou Yuyan's popularity? It's just that after so much time, I don't know whether Zhou Yuyan's child is kept or not? Thinking about it, it should not be able to be saved, since Princess Qin has made a move, it is impossible to be soft, and she will definitely ask for a blow. Zhou Yuyan...... Everything points to disaster.
Even Gu Wanyin suspected that Princess Qin would take advantage of this opportunity to completely let Zhou Yuyan have no chance to turn over. For example - one corpse, two lives.
Or, the second wife is so flustered because Zhou Yuyan's condition is not very good?
After the two of them looked at each other, they didn't say much, let alone pause for a moment, and walked straight out. Yinlu hesitated for a moment, but still followed Gu Wanyin.
When he was about to walk to Xiaojiaomen, taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, Gu Wanyin whispered to Yinlu: "If there is anything, just let the people guarding the Jiaomen here pass the word for you." The mother-in-law who guards the door in the house here can also rest assured. "Whether it's Qinggui, Yinlu, or someone else, it's the most convenient to send a message from Xiaojiaomen. Therefore, she deliberately used some methods to let her people guard the corner gate.
Yinlu nodded, and then lowered her voice and said, "Aunt Tao, it seems that she has hooked up with the people in the èrnǎi milk house." I don't know what's going on. Moreover, the second wife has recently planned to mention her aunt to the second master. Or marry a concubine from outside and come back. ”;
