Chapter 13 The Palace is Deep 16
The two of them rushed back to the Scarlet Palace, Ouyang Long'er didn't want to see Nie Guifei, and only said to a slave that he was back, seeing that there was still some time before Tianming, the two went back to the room, Gu Yuecong was lying on the bed, his thoughts turned a thousand times, how could he have the slightest sleep?
I don't know how long I slept in a daze, Gu Yuecong heard someone knocking on the door in his sleep, he was restless, he woke up immediately when he heard the knock, got up to open the door, thought that it was Nie Guifei standing in front of the door, he couldn't help but hesitate, he calmed down, and said secretly: "She is the imperial concubine, Long'er and I just take refuge here, if she wants to stay, she will stay, if she refuses to take in, I will take Long'er out of the palace." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" opened the door, but saw the slave and maid who delivered the meal standing at the door, the slave and maid glanced at him and said: "Gu Gongzi, the emperor wants to see you, the carriage outside the door is ready to stop, please go quickly." Although Gu Yuecong said that he was not afraid to see Nie Guifei, he was still relieved when he saw that it was the little slave, and said, "Thank you, I'll go." The slave maid took out a letter from her sleeve and said: "This is the slave maid ordered by the mother to give it to the son, she wants the slave to tell the son, the matter of the eighth prince, the ancient prince and the Ouyang county lord have asked for something, and the mother has done her best." Gu Yuecong took the letter and said, "Please tell my mother, I have to worry about her." The slave said, "If the son has no other instructions, the slave and the maid will retire." Gu Yuecong nodded, and when the slave was gone, he opened the envelope, only to see a small poem written on it in an elegant and beautiful font: "The flowers have been exhausted, and the branches have been empty, and the green leaves are dancing in vain." I have no intention of vain affection, and I will leave the former alliance in this life. "The letterhead still has a faint fragrance of Nie Guifei. After reading it, Gu Yuecong knew that although she was reluctant, she didn't want to mention the past anymore. I thought: "I'm a dignified man, I don't have enough thoughts, how can I blame her all, from now on, she is just a friend of me and Long'er, that's all." He didn't want to think about it anymore, he changed his clothes and washed his face, came to Long'er's room, and when Ouyang Long'er opened the door, Gu Yuecong saw that her eyelids were still slightly red and swollen, and she was obviously crying again after returning to the room last night, thinking of the drastic changes in her home, she was forced to hide here, but she did something that made her sad and desperate, and her heart was sour, and she wanted to say something, but she didn't know where to start. Ouyang Long'er said: "Then you still don't go?" Gu Yuecong said: "I'll talk to you." Ouyang Long'er said: "You're done, I also know." Gu Yuecong's heart was full of flavors, and he couldn't help but stretch out his hand to hold Long'er's hand, and said, "Long'er......" Ouyang Long'er heard his voice choked slightly, turned his head, and then changed his tone, and said: "Oh, you go quickly, didn't we all talk about it last night?" After that, he turned around, looked at Gu Yuecong and added: "I'll wait for you to come back." Gu Yuecong saw tears flashing in her eyes, handed out the envelope, and said, "Nie Guifei left a letter for me, you can read it if you want to see it, and tear it up if you don't want to see it." Ouyang Long'er glanced at Gu Yuecong and said, "I don't look at it, I believe you know what to do, you go quickly, the emperor won't wait for anyone." Gu Yuecong said goodbye to her and came to the gate of the Scarlet Palace.
The coachman had been waiting for a long time, and after Gu Yuecong got into the car, the coachman said: "Gu Daxia, Niangniang ordered, let's go around the palace and then go to see the emperor, don't make a sound." Gu Yue knew that it was to avoid suspicion in the palace, and said: "I know, there is work." The coachman drove out of the palace, but at the pass on the road, the coachman handed out a token from his arms, saying that he was ordered by the emperor to go out of the palace, and the guards saw the token, and if they did not stop it, the carriage went out of the palace, and the coachman went to the market again, and then drove back to the palace, and it was inevitable that there would be another interrogation. The guards were originally very fierce, but when they heard that it was Nie Guifei's life-saving benefactor sitting in the car, they changed their demeanor, opened the sedan curtain and smiled, and said that they had checked it clearly, and immediately let them go.
The carriage passed the Shenwu Gate and stopped outside the Kunning Palace, and the coachman said: "Gu Daxia, the slaves are not allowed to enter further, please get off." Gu Yuecong got out of the car, and a guard immediately greeted him and said, "Gu Daxia, please come with me, the emperor has been waiting in the study for a long time." ”
The two of them strode and ran straight to the study, and the guard led Gu Yuecong to the door of the study, and said: "No emperor's holy order, slaves are not allowed to enter and leave the study at will, Gu Daxia, please." Gu Yuecong nodded and walked in.
The emperor was holding a copy of "Zizhi Tongjian", pacing around the room, and when he saw Gu Yuecong coming in, he looked him up and down slightly, frowned slightly, and asked, "You are Gu Yuecong?"
The person before Gu Yuecong met was in his fifties and not tall, but he had a high nose and big eyes, his head held high, and his aura was clear. Seeing him frowning, his heart was worried: "When the emperor saw me, why did he suddenly look unhappy? Could it be that the emperor saw that the common people were all like this?" ”
The emperor said: "That's why I summoned you in the upper study, because I read that you have just entered the palace and don't understand the rules of the palace, so get up." ”
Gu Yuecong got up in gratitude, and the emperor said while reading the book: "You saved the life of my concubine, how do you want me to reward you?"
Gu Yuecong listened to his words but was very cold, and said: "The grass people were honored by the emperor, and they were lucky to save the concubine, and they didn't dare to ask for any reward. ”
The emperor turned his head, looked at him fixedly, and said: "Listen to Concubine Nie Aifei, your martial arts are unfathomable, even if you are not one of the best in the rivers and lakes, you should be among the top five, I don't know which faction you are at the helm of the family?"
Gu Yuecong only felt that the emperor's eyes were burning at him, and he couldn't help lowering his head and said: "Your Majesty, the grass people are just ordinary members of the bloodthirsty sect, and they were unfortunately expelled from the door wall by the sect leader half a month ago. ”
The emperor's face became even more ugly, and he asked, "Bloodthirsty Sect Master, his name is Ouyang Yanjue?"
Gu Yuecong said: "The emperor has seen thousands of miles. ”
The emperor said again: "Then you should always have a high opinion on the general trend of the rivers and lakes??"
Although Gu Yuecong learned from Nie Guifei that the emperor was going to interrogate him, he was in a state of confusion for the past few days, and completely forgot about the matter, so he had to say truthfully: "The grass people often live in the mountains, forests and grass, and they read some poetry and books with Mr. Jiaoshu on weekdays, and they were also expelled from the bloodthirsty valley by the sect leader a month ago, and were forced to walk the rivers and lakes. ”
The emperor threw down the book with a "bang", and said in displeasure: "I don't understand, your martial arts are mediocre, but you are only fifteen or sixteen years old, and you are not a leader of any family, and you are not even a big person in the rivers and lakes, how did you kill Lu Shouyi, the head of Taiyi Beidou, three years ago?
Gu Yuecong trembled with fright, and thought to himself: "The emperor knows everything about what happened three years ago, how can he even know what happened half a month ago?" ”
The emperor said: "Do you know that if you talk nonsense, I can cure you for the crime of deceiving the king, and if you tell the truth, it will be useless, and I will see you in vain today." ”
Gu Yuecong thought to himself: "The emperor summoned me this time, it seems that he has another will. said: "The grass people don't dare to tell half a lie, but the emperor decreed, and the grass people all had their liver and brains, and they died." ”
The emperor said, "I'm afraid you won't be able to take on this heavy responsibility. ”
Hearing this, Gu Yue Congfang suddenly realized, and thought: "When he saw me, he frowned, and interrogated me in every way, because he thought I was unworthy of the task, and he didn't know what he wanted me to do?"
The emperor said, "Guess what, why did I summon you to the palace today?"
