Chapter 165 Before Departure

"Isn't it the first time? But isn't Mozhou the last retreat?" Qiu Yeli was a little puzzled.

"Mozhou was discovered by accident when I went out to fight when I was young. I took Xiujin there, but I didn't have time to investigate in the future. My father passed away. I hurried back to Beijing but on the way back to Beijing, I learned that Gu Jingcheng had ascended the throne. At the same time, I sent people to hunt and kill me. I had no choice but to hide. Qingping Town."

Gu Jingyao looked at her and said so.

"So that's it!" Qiu Yeli nodded, every time he heard Gu Jingyao talking about it, he felt very distressed, and put his arms around his narrow waist.

"It's okay, it's all over." Gu Jingyao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and hugged her back, knowing that she was feeling sorry for him.

"Well, it's going to be a good day in the future!" Qiu Yeli sniffed, and the little guy in her stomach seemed to sense the relationship between her father and mother, and kicked her stomach at the right time.

At the same time, the Li Dynasty was thousands of miles away.

King Luo fled with his family members. All the officials in Beijing who had contacts with Gu Jingyao were in danger, for fear of being implicated. Fortunately, the emperor seemed to be attracted by something, so he only punished the lord's family headed by Dongchang Palace and other ministers who had close contacts , did not hold others accountable.

Without the threat of King Luo, Gu Jingcheng felt as if a big stone had fallen in his heart, and he was no longer trembling like before, wantonly pampering the maids and concubines.

——In the Palace of Concubine Luo
The maid looked at her master sadly, "Your Majesty, the Emperor hasn't come to our palace for a long time."

Luo Guifei slowly opened her lazy eyes, and said casually, "Who cares if he comes or not!"

"Your Majesty." The palace maid was startled, she glanced at the door, but fortunately there were no outsiders, "Your Majesty must not let others hear what you said, or the Emperor will blame you."

Concubine Luo took a deep breath, as if she didn't want to discuss matters about Gu Jingcheng any more, and changed the subject, "Is there any news about Gu Jingyao? And the mother concubine hasn't sent a letter from home yet?"

According to the rules, the correspondence between foreign concubines and concubines of the same clan must pass the emperor's inspection, so she naturally has other channels to receive news.

"Reporting to the empress, no." The palace maid lowered her head and whispered.

"Go down!" Concubine Luo Gui rubbed the center of her brows irritably, feeling very impatient.

"Yes" the maid left immediately.

Concubine Luo lay lazily on the imperial concubine chair, feeling very bored, she frowned slightly, "Wait! Go and bring Li Xiaozhu here!"

The maid did not dare to refute, but these days, the empress repeatedly called Li Xiaozhu to ask about Gu Jingyao's whereabouts. Although the emperor does not love this little princess very much now, he still has the title of princess after all.

Soon, Li Xiaozhu greeted him outside the door. The little girl had grown a little taller, with forbearance hidden in her eyes.

"Zhu'er pays respects to Empress Luo!" Li Xiaozhu bowed her head and saluted, feeling a little impatient in her heart. Concubine Luo was really persistent. She had already said that she didn't know where Gu Jingyao and the others had gone.

"Zhu'er, you really don't know where Luo Wang's family has gone?" Concubine Luo Gui's eyes were sharp, and she looked at him with a half-smile.

"I really don't know. Zhu'er's heart is for the emperor, and she doesn't have much affection for Luo Wang's family." Li Xiaozhu said expressionlessly.

The two were at a stalemate, Luo Guifei smiled and said, "Zhu'er, Luo Mistress knows that you have been in the palace for a long time, if you can think of anything, you must come and tell Luo Mistress!"

"Yes! Zhu'er understands!" Li Xiaozhu bowed obediently.

Except for Concubine Luo's palace, Zhu'er slowly breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at the square sky, with a self-deprecating smile on her face, this is the wealth she chose, and the cage of the canary can only bear the consequences.

——In the Palace of Concubine Luo
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! There's news!" the maid shouted excitedly and depressedly.

Concubine Luo opened her eyes suddenly, with a smile on her face, "Any news about Gu Jingyao?" She still couldn't figure out how she couldn't compare to Qiu Yeli, why Gu Jingyao didn't even want to look at herself.

"No. It's a letter from Mrs. Zhaoyi's family." The maid said in a low voice.

Concubine Luo withdrew her expression in disappointment, remembering that her concubine mother complained that Gu Jingyao and Qiu Yeli bullied her a few days ago, which made her angry, and she had to choose the vicious and idiot Gu Jingcheng, it must be the concubine mother who comforted her.

Thinking of this, Concubine Luo's expression softened, after all, she was far away from home alone, so it was inevitable that she would miss her relatives.

Open the letter and look at it at a glance. The more you read, the more dignified your expression becomes.

The palace maid was originally smiling, but now the empress can finally be happy, but there seems to be something wrong.
"Your Majesty, what's the matter?" the maid asked cautiously.

"How could this happen!" Concubine Luo Guifei's expression was gloomy, she tightened her hand holding the letter, crumpled the letter paper without realizing it.

The mother and concubine said in the letter that Gu Jingyao and Qiu Yeli fled to Xianbei, and Gu Jingyao's background was actually the grandson of King Xianbei who was left behind!Then isn't she Gu Jingyao's little aunt? ? ?

Thinking of this, embarrassment and disbelief appeared on Concubine Luo's face, but how could it be that they were so close in age! !

Concubine Luo calmed down, knowing that if it wasn't the truth, the concubine mother would not tell her rashly.

Looking at the following content, she was even more jealous. She had only left for more than a month, so how could she shout so many things? Her father was seriously ill and would die soon. Naturally, she wanted the second prince, Cheng Yu, to inherit the throne, but was healed by Qiu Yeli. The concubine mother and her elder brother had to rebel against each other, so she didn't have to worry.

"Quick! Send someone to check what's going on with Concubine Mother and Brother!" Concubine Luo's face flashed panic, looking at the time on the letter, it's probably already past the time of raising troops, her eyes were moist, no matter Concubine Mother won, It was the result that she did not want to see whether her father won or not.

"Yes, servant girl is going now!" The palace maid was startled and left in a hurry.

-

"The Emperor is here!"

The eunuch's high-pitched voice sounded suddenly, Concubine Luo twitched her eyebrows, and stuffed the envelope into her sleeve.

"Concubine welcomes Your Majesty!" Concubine Luo adjusted her expression, forced a smile, and spoke respectfully.

"Well, no courtesy." In just over a month, Gu Jingcheng's complexion became paler and his eyes turned grumpy.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Concubine Luo didn't say much, she just stood aside obediently.

"Do you know why I came here?" Gu Jingcheng looked up at her.

"I don't know." Concubine Luo answered as calmly as possible.

"I got the news that there was civil strife in the Xianbei royal family." Gu Jingcheng looked into her eyes as he spoke.

"What? What civil strife?" Concubine Luo's voice trembled, she pretended to be puzzled but she was really nervous. She wanted to know who the present King Xianbei was, whether it was King Xianbei or her brother Cheng Heng.

"The third prince, Cheng Heng, intended to conspire against the king and was captured on the spot." Gu Jingcheng looked into her eyes seriously.

"Pa~" The teacup on the table fell to the ground, Concubine Luo retreated, the expression on her face could no longer be controlled.
