As soon as I opened my eyes, I was dressed as a stepmother of two bear children

Chapter 73 Passing the Message

"I know that you are feeling uncomfortable now, and I also know that you will go to the emperor, so I asked the maid to look for you." Concubine Liu Gui looked at Qiu Yeli with a distressed expression.

Originally, she also disliked this village woman from the countryside very much, thinking that she must be extremely vulgar, and after many days of contact, she knew that her medical skills were superb, he was considerate, and she had tenacity and perseverance that a famous lady in Beijing did not have. I don't want her to face the emperor's sharpness, a generation of beauties will fade away.

"The imperial concubine is extremely intelligent," Qiu Yeli said calmly, "I have indeed gone to see Your Majesty."

Liu Yingying sighed slightly, took Qiu Yeli's hand and said, "Actually, I quite like your temperament. Although Xiangxiang was raised to be knowledgeable and polite since childhood, his temper has always been a headache, and he has been recalled to the mansion by the prime minister. There were many offenses that day, please don't take it to heart."

Qiu Yeli shook her head, "Your Majesty is a concubine, Miss Liu is blessed."

Liu Yingying nodded with emotion, remembering that she thought she was the happiest person in the world when she married Gu Jingcheng, but now that the years have passed, she always feels that something is different
"Li'er, I just want to tell you that it's not always easy for a woman, don't confront the emperor, think more about yourself, think about your child, understand?"

"Thank you for your teaching, the imperial concubine, Li'er understands." Qiu Yeli lowered her head slightly, but she had mixed feelings in her heart. She never thought that Liu Yingying would say such simple and profound words to herself.

every other day
The emperor really asked a group of lama masters to chant sutras to save Gu Jingyao, so that he could rest in peace.

The heavy solid wooden coffin lay quietly on the mourning hall, the emperor personally attended to watch the national teacher perform the ritual, and Qiu Yeli knelt at the front in a filial piety.

Following Jinbao's shrill and forceful "open coffin", all the guards pushed the coffin lid away, and everyone present couldn't help covering their mouths and noses. The unpleasant smell of corpses penetrated everyone's nostrils, and Gu Jingcheng couldn't help but frowned. He frowned.

Soon, the corpse was carried out, probably because it had been soaked in the river water for a long time, the body was white and floating, the face was also charred by the dark water in the river, the branches were scratched, and the original appearance could hardly be seen.

The lamas sat in a circle and recited unintelligible scriptures to the corpse. Gu Jingcheng glanced at Mr. Ding and motioned him to check whether the corpse was Gu Jingyao.

Master Ding nodded, walked around the crowd, and turned his head slightly uncomfortable after just a glance. When he was about to look again, the face of the corpse was suddenly covered by a handkerchief.

Qiu Yeli cried and shouted, "My lord! Why did you leave our orphans and widows behind! How can you let us live! Open your eyes and see that you sacrificed your life for the people of the Li Dynasty, and you have to bear the burden after death. An ominous sign that will destroy the destiny of the country!"

Qiu Yeli cried heart-rendingly, and everyone present was moved. No one in the capital city knew Luo Wang's face and beauty, but the young man was so miserable behind him, it was really embarrassing.

Master Ding frowned, and wanted to take off the handkerchief, but was stopped by Gu Jingcheng. No one could understand Qiu Yeli's accusations and scolding Huai.

He also took a look at the corpse. The body shape was almost the same as that of Gu Jingyao, very similar, but the face was really hard to identify.

Master Ding retreated quietly, and the ceremony lasted for two hours before it finally ended, and Qiu Yeli was tired from crying, so Gu Jingcheng left, leaving only the lama to continue to save the soul of "Gu Jingyao".

Qiu Yeli glanced at the corpse in the middle, pursed her lips, and said to herself, this big brother, I hope you can reach bliss early, and it won't be in vain for her to cry sincerely.

Outside the majestic and solemn palace walls, the accompanying secret guards stared at the fallen leaves floating in the river, fished them out while no one was there, and then disappeared without a trace.

——A house outside the city

The hidden guard handed the fallen leaves with engraved words to Gu Jingyao, who carefully looked at the words on Qiu Ye, and pieced together the message that Qiu Yeli wanted to convey, "There is something wrong with Concubine Shu, the emperor may see through the fake death."

"My lord, what's the situation?" Han Xiujin stood beside him anxiously. The news from the palace is strict and Gu Jingcheng has always been suspicious. He is not a high-ranking official, so naturally he can't hear the news from the palace all the time. Outside the palace, so as to pass the news to them.

"The emperor is afraid that he will find out about my fake death."

Gu Jingyao frowned slightly, his tone was really unhurried, he had subdued most of the officials, even if the emperor knew the inside story, he couldn't do anything about it for a moment, but Qiu Yeli was still in the palace, which made her worry.

"Master, are you worried about Miss Qiu's safety?" Han Xiujin frowned, looking at Gu Jingyao's expression, he knew what he was thinking.

Gu Jingyao pursed his lips and remained silent, acquiescing to his words.

Han Xiujin moved his lips, and finally said, "Master, I have to say something to offend you today, even though Miss Qiu is innocent, even if she sacrificed her life for you, but Gu Jingcheng is suspicious by nature, and she will definitely not let it go at this moment Miss Qiu, on the contrary, she will take advantage of your weakness to threaten you, endure hardships and bear the burden of humiliation for these years, and finally have the opportunity, you must not give up!"

Listening to the man's words, Gu Jingyao rubbed his temples irritably, and said coldly, "Stop talking, you go down first."

"Master, if you don't want to do it, I'll go!" Han Xiujin looked at Gu Jingyao with firm eyes. He also admired that woman, but he only sacrificed her in this matter.

"Don't touch her! Otherwise you can't afford the consequences!" Gu Jingyao stood up abruptly, strangled Han Xiujin's neck, and snapped.

Han Xiujin was also furious, but in the end he didn't say anything, he flung his sleeves and turned to leave.

Under the swaying candlelight, Gu Jingyao stroked the autumn leaves engraved with words over and over again, his eyes burning.

—— Palace

Qiu Yeli avoided the eyes and ears of the palace and wanted to ask Concubine Shu about the edict, but as soon as she approached, she saw heavy guards outside the palace, and the palace people were strictly prohibited from entering and leaving.

Qiu Yeli rolled her eyes slightly, then straightened her appearance, and walked towards the palace with decent steps.

"Stop!" As expected, the guard stopped him outside the palace gate with a cold face, "Your Majesty has an order, no one is allowed to approach! Leave quickly!"

Qiu Yeli glanced at her and pretended to be indifferent and said, "I'm the medical lady who came to take the pulse of Concubine Shu." As he spoke, he showed the medical box on his shoulder, and was ready to go in after speaking.

The guard pulled out the saber from his waist and said coldly, "Unless His Majesty orders, no one will be able to enter today!"

"Brother, I'm really a female doctor who takes the pulse of the concubine. The concubine is weak and needs to take medicine every day. You see, I have recovered from this. If the illness is delayed, can you afford it? "Qiuba Rika said with a serious expression on her face.

The guards at the door looked at each other, but their tone did not relax, "Go! Otherwise, you will be arrested!"
