Chapter 476 Go to the palace
"Is what you're saying the truth conclusive?" Gu Zhiheng's face seemed to be very calm, but his eyes seemed to contain a violent storm, and he looked a little hideous and terrifying, "If you dare to fool this king at will about this kind of thing, Hugh will ask this king to let you go around without eating." ”
The object of Gu Zhiheng's words was naturally the spies who came to summon the news. Almost as soon as the spy finished talking about Concubine Qin's illness and death, Gu Zhiheng went crazy all of a sudden, and the whole person was not calm.
If it weren't for the warmth and coldness on the side, I was afraid that the cup would definitely not fall on the ground, but on the spies' face. Even so, there were a lot of debris splashed on the spout's body, scratching thin scars.
Although the spy was scratched, he didn't dare to say anything, just cowered aside, his eyes faintly mixed with a little fear. After hearing Gu Zhiheng's words, the spy raised his head hesitantly and said, "This kind of thing, do your subordinates dare to joke with His Highness?" Nature is true. ”
After saying this, Gu Zhiheng's face became more and more gloomy. Apparently still a little unconvinced. The spies obviously also expected Gu Zhiheng's reaction after learning the news of Concubine Qin's illness and death, so he had gotten rid of the initial fear.
"If Your Highness still doesn't believe it, you can go to the palace and find out." The spy said, "No matter how presumptuous your subordinates are in other matters, they will never joke with Your Highness in this matter." ”
It seemed that he was afraid that Gu Zhiheng would not believe it, and when the spy said this, his eyes kept staring at Gu Zhiheng's direction, and Gu Zhiheng also kept looking at him, carefully observing the expression in his eyes.
After carefully observing for a while, Gu Zhiheng saw that the spy looked real, not as if he was faking, and his heart was cold for a while. In fact, she still didn't want to accept this fact, so she still insisted on saying: "In that case, this king will go to the palace to see if what you said is true."
This is not the meaning of self-investigation. When the spy realized this, his whole body relaxed, and he collapsed to the ground for a while, and he did not have the strength to stand up for a long time.
Gu Zhiheng didn't bother to care about this spy, he just turned his head to look at He Nuanliang, and said, "Nuanliang, you should accompany this king to the palace to meet the concubine." When this king goes to the palace, he will scold this spy with his mother, how can he make such a joke!"
"Your Highness......" was different from Gu Zhiheng's anger, but He Nuanliang's voice was mixed with some worry and sadness. How does the spies' reaction look like a fraud at the moment? I'm afraid that Concubine Qin is really fragrant and jade.
And the reason why Gu Zhiheng still stubbornly said that Concubine Qin was fine, was just a fan of the authorities and a clear bystander. Maybe he already knew about it in his heart, but he just didn't want to admit it.
Thinking of this, He Nuanliang looked at Gu Zhiheng's expression and felt even more distressed. It's just that in front of Gu Zhiheng, He Nuanliang didn't dare to expose this matter, so he could only laugh and say, "It's already a little late today, it's not too late for us to go another day."
"It's late." Gu Zhiheng frowned, "Isn't it still bright this day?" Let's go and get back quickly, we won't be able to delay much. What's more, this king hasn't been to see his mother for a while, and he misses her a little. ”
Seeing Gu Zhiheng's appearance of not entering the oil and salt and insisting on going his own way, He Nuanliang still had no choice, so he had to sigh and said, "Then Your Highness will wait for the concubine for a while, and the concubine will go to clean up and come back immediately."
Gu Zhiheng nodded and smiled gently: "Go ahead." This king is waiting for you. So He Nuanliang hurriedly went to clean up. She was not slow to clean up, and it didn't take long for her to tidy up, and she walked out of the house again.
"Yes, let's go." After saying this, Gu Zhiheng did not delay, and immediately asked someone to prepare a carriage, and walked towards the direction of the palace with He Nuanliang.
On the way to the palace, He Nuanliang wanted to speak several times, but when he looked at Gu Zhiheng, he stopped abruptly. Gu Zhiheng's expression was full of anticipation, it was the excitement and joy of a child who was about to meet his mother.
Looking at Gu Zhiheng like this, even though He Nuanliang had a lot of things to say, he just couldn't say a word. She fell silent, lowered her head, and felt the urge to cry for a while.
He Nuanliang's reactions, Gu Zhiheng was naturally unaware of them. At this time, he just desperately wanted to go to the palace and meet Concubine Qin well, so that he could fall a big stone in his heart.
When he was talking to the spy just now, in fact, Gu Zhiheng already had a faint bad premonition in his heart, but he didn't want to believe it. He kept comforting himself in his heart, this was just an illusion, Concubine Qin was still in the cold palace at this time, quietly waiting for him to visit.
Gu Zhiheng's self-righteous illusion finally became a naked reality after he and He Nuanliang went to the cold palace. Gu Zhiheng and He Nuanliang had not yet reached the gate of the cold palace, but they had already seen the sky-high fire at the gate of the cold palace.
"Here's what to do!" Gu Zhiheng was immediately blinded, and his brain was blank. Almost without time to think, he had already taken three steps and two steps towards the sky-high firelight.
He Nuanliang couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the fire in front of him. It's just that she is calmer than Gu Zhiheng after all. Looking at Gu Zhiheng's appearance, He Nuanliang was a little anxious, and hurriedly dissuaded: "Your Highness, don't worry, let's go over and slowly understand the situation."
But Gu Zhiheng didn't seem to hear He Nuanliang's words, and just walked forward blindly. Seeing such Gu Zhiheng, He Nuanliang was helpless and worried in his heart. However, with the strength of a weak woman, it was really difficult to stop Gu Zhiheng.
Therefore, He Nuanliang could only sigh deeply and go forward with Gu Zhiheng. The two got closer, and then they saw the scene in front of them.
It turned out that in front of me was a bunch of palace maids and eunuchs gathered at the door. There was a huge fire at the door, and several people didn't know what was burning in it. From time to time, someone walked into the palace with their mouths and noses covered, took out something, and threw it into the fire.
And the queen stood aside, watching the movements of the palace maids and eunuchs. Gu Zhiheng had calmed down a lot after Fang Cai's impulse, and now he had calmed down, and he happened to see the queen, so he respectfully saluted her and asked, "Queen Mother, what are you doing here?"
After the queen saw Gu Zhiheng coming, she was stunned for a moment, and then a trace of sympathy and pity quickly flashed in her eyes. She said, "Don't you know?"
After Gu Zhiheng heard this, his face turned pale. He gritted his teeth, barely holding his composure. After a while, Gu Zhiheng said to the queen with a strong smile: "Queen Mother, what are you talking about, why does this king not understand a little."
He said that he didn't understand, but the few tears that crossed his eyes had fully exposed that Gu Zhiheng's current state of mind was not calm, and it was not that he was ignorant of what he said. The queen obviously understood this, but she didn't say anything, just sighed, and immediately stretched out her hand and patted Gu Zhiheng's shoulder.
No matter how many conflicts of interest there are between Gu Zhiheng and Shen Huo, or even to the point of fighting to the death, the current Gu Zhiheng is just a child who has just lost his mother and looks fragile. For such a person, the queen thought that she couldn't be ruthless.
What's more, the queen pushed herself and others, thinking about what kind of performance Shen Huo would have if she was a hundred years later, she was even more ruthless, just patted Gu Zhiheng comfortingly, and even hugged him. This hug was fleeting, but it still made Gu Zhiheng stunned.
And when Gu Zhiheng was sad, although he hesitated, he did not refuse the queen. On the contrary, he felt a little warmth and strength in the queen's place, as if he were in the warm embrace of a mother.
Under the queen's appeasement, Gu Zhiheng miraculously calmed down after a while. When he raised his head again, although his face was still pale and his eyes were slightly red, the pain in his eyes had dissipated a lot.
He was silent for a moment, and then said to the queen, "Queen Mother." Ben Wang ...... I want to see the remains of my mother. Although I didn't get to see her for the last time, it's good to just look at it like this. ”
When the queen heard this, she regretted it even more in her heart, but she could only shake her head regretfully: "Presumably, His Royal Highness King Wu also knows the cause of Concubine Qin's death." This plague is contagious, so Concubine Qin's bones cannot be stored for a long time and have already been sent to be burned. Even the things that Concubine Qin had close to her during her lifetime could not be left. ”
Hearing this, Gu Zhiheng's expression immediately shook and he almost didn't have a mouthful of blood spurting out. His lips trembled, and there was a hint of despair in the words he spoke: "So this king, can't even leave the relics of his mother?"
Seeing Gu Zhiheng like this, the queen also felt a little unbearable. But no matter how much comfort there is now, it is only pale and weak, so the queen can only pat Gu Zhiheng's shoulder and say, "Condolences change."
It just so happened that the things in the cold palace had been burned at this time, and the queen wanted to leave Gu Zhiheng some space for her own thinking, so she left with a group of palace maids and eunuchs.
For a while, only Gu Zhiheng, who was standing in a daze, and He Nuanliang, who had been guarding beside her, were left at the door of the cold palace.
He Nuanliang didn't speak from the beginning, but just kept watching Gu Zhiheng's movements, his eyes full of distress. Now seeing Gu Zhiheng like this, He Nuanliang couldn't help it anymore, immediately hugged Gu Zhiheng, and said in a low voice: "Everything will pass, Your Highness, don't be too sad."
This hug was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. Gu Zhiheng couldn't hold back any longer, hugging with He Nuanliang, and actually whimpered and cried. There is not a trace of beauty in this cry, only total sorrow.
Gu Zhiheng cried and even lost his image, but He Nuanliang didn't laugh at him, but he also felt a little sad, and couldn't help but redden.
