Chapter 190
The emperor left, and Ming Pei asked her in a low voice: "Your Majesty, my servant sees the emperor's face is not very good, is it because you shouldn't ground the talented person?"

Gu Nian's eyes fell on the camellia tree that had been cut off in two, but was still green and depressed, and shook her head lightly: "No, the emperor is reminding me that he is the master of the world. It's a matter in the palace. You can discuss with him, you can ask for instructions, but you just can’t make your own claims!”

Ming Pei followed Gu Nian's gaze to look at the camellia tree, and there seemed to be a bright yellow color flashing in the corner of his sight.

"Take it." Gu Nian handed the camellia in his hand to Ming Pei: "Take it back to the palace and take good care of it. It will bloom for a few more days."

When leaving, Gu Nian looked back at the camellia that unfortunately was crushed into mud.

He thought to himself, he thought that he had been lying down for so long, and he was cautious in his words and deeds, even if he had a pet, there should be some affection, but who knows, in his heart, it still has no weight at all.

Gu Nian figured it out in an instant. To him, a woman can only be a vine that clings to him, and can only grow by relying on his tree. If anyone dares to cross the line, he will not spare the other party lightly. .

This time, he also thought carefully in his heart and found that Gu Nian really had no bad intentions, so he leniently did not pursue Gu Nian's responsibility, otherwise, it might not be hard to say.

Behind her, the Gu family could not bring her any advantage.

Everything can only depend on her...

Otherwise, it will be like that camellia, which can only be picked off by others in the end.

The day of saying hello every five days came again, Gu Nian looked at the charming concubine sitting down, with a decent smile on her face, and sat down with the support of Lue.

The chattering scene suddenly fell silent.

"The concubine pays her respects to the empress, and wishes her good fortune and golden safety."

"My concubine pays her respects to the empress, I wish..."

With the same voice, Gu Nian raised his hand slightly, and said in a deep and powerful voice: "Get up."

"Thank you madam."

"Thanks……"

The voices sounded one after another, and Gu Nian heard Concubine Shu say: "Your Majesty, I heard from the servants yesterday that a talented person assaulted you. Madam, you punished her to ground her feet. Is this true?"

Gu Nian's eyes moved away from the teacup in his hand, and looked into Concubine Shu's eyes. The other party spoke quickly and straightforwardly, but the dark eyes in his eyes were bottomless.

Everyone stopped talking and looked at Gu Nian, the atmosphere was a little tense.

"Really!" The porcelain cup was placed on the table by Gu Nian, making a crisp sound of collision.

Concubine Shu looked at her in surprise, and covered her surprised mouth with a veil: "Your Majesty, you have always been kind and virtuous, so you might as well tell me what mistakes you made, so that all the concubines can wake up. "

Gu Nian was sitting on a high seat, brushing across the faces of each of them. The women in the harem were all graceful and graceful, but under their good-looking skins, they had their own ghosts.

"I didn't want to say it at first, and I planned to investigate it and tell everyone, but since Concubine Shu asked this question, I won't hide it."

She looked back at Lue, motioning to find out the evidence she had collected.

The concubine held her breath, seeing Gu Nian's gloomy face, suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart.

"Just yesterday, Cairen told Ben Gong that a bowl of crispy cheese in the imperial dining room was poisoned. Everyone may wish to guess who did it?"

There was a low-level discussion sound again, Gu Nian directly skipped over the three concubines, and looked at the concubine with a lower status.

Seeing the shocked expressions on everyone's faces, she continued: "I have searched the imperial dining room, and found no problems, so the rest of you are sitting here. The imperial doctor said that it is snake venom, and one drop can kill you. Mourning, barrenness, and spring!"

No one made a sound, Concubine Liang covered the ears of the eldest princess, not wanting her to hear this, the surprise in Concubine Shu's eyes receded, but the veil covering her mouth and nose had not been taken off.

Concubine Ling was still as usual, sitting on her seat coldly, with a smile on her lips, as if she had seen everything through, or rather, she didn't care about anything.

Gu Nian picked up the slightly cold tea and moistened his dry tongue.

The eldest princess in Concubine Liang's arms shook her head, as if she wanted to get rid of the hands on her ears. Seeing Gu Nian looking at her, she smiled sweetly at her innocently.

"Concubine Liang wants to take care of the eldest princess, so let's go back to the palace first." Gu Nian watched Concubine Liang and the eldest princess salute and stepped back, then continued to say coldly: "As for the others, you can think about it, if you saw anything unusual yesterday. Of course, I hope that the murderer can stand up, because if I personally find out, the consequences will not only be a small punishment, but will even harm the family."

Gu Nian was like an eagle, with sharp eyes, gliding across several concubines with unnatural expressions.

The atmosphere became more and more tense, no one spoke, and even some timid concubines stood up from the stools in fright and knelt on the ground.

"Is no one talking?" Gu Nian looked at the concubines who were kneeling more and more, raised his eyebrows and said, "Zhao Jieyu, can you tell me what the maid beside you did in the imperial dining room yesterday?"

Zhao Jieyu supported her stomach, whispered Wu Nong's soft language unique to Jiangnan Water Town, "Madam, it's the imperial doctor who said that the concubine is heavy now and needs to eat some warming food, and then...then..."

Zhao Jieyu looked at Luo Cairen behind her, pursed her lips and said: "It is Luo Cairen who said that the crispy cheese has the effect of calming the nerves and helping sleep, and it is warm in nature, which is suitable for concubines to eat."

Gu Nian looked coldly at Luo Cairen who was kneeling behind Zhao Jieyu again: "Luo Cairen, is what Zhao Jieyu said true?"

"Yes, that's why the concubine suggested that Zhao Jieyu eat a bowl every day."

Gu Nian's straight waist felt a little sore. It had been a long time since she had done this for such a long time. She gently leaned on the armrest of the chair, looked at Luo Cairen and continued to ask, "Luo Cairen, what else do you have to say? Is it?"

Luo Cairen kept her head down, no one could see her expression, only heard her reply tremblingly: "I am the empress, my concubine... I have nothing to say..."

"A good one has nothing to say!"

With a sweep of Gu Nian's sleeves, she swept the teacup on the table to the ground, and the porcelain cup fell apart in an instant, and the sound pierced into people's hearts.

"Lue, call Eunuch Du in, I and all my sisters will listen together and see what Eunuch Du will say..."

Luo Cairen froze, hearing the approaching footsteps behind her, she didn't know whether it was tears or sweat, which fell from her jaw to the ground.

The teacup that was broken by Gu Nian in front was carefully picked up by the maid. The sound of the porcelain was broken and sharp, which was infinitely amplified in Luo Cairen's ears, making her panic.

Luo Cairen collapsed on the ground and said in a mournful voice, "Mother, my concubine pleaded guilty, everything is because my concubine is jealous of Zhao Jieyu."

Tears flowed down her cheeks like rain, her brows were delicate, like a clean ink painting, imbued with soft beauty, hiding the brilliance of water and the hazy simplicity.

What a gentle daughter's family...

Gu Nian admired sincerely from the bottom of her heart, but it's just been a long time, a heart that should have been clear and flawless was tainted with worldly desires and darkness.

"The concubine and Jieyu are both concubines that the emperor was lucky enough to enter the palace together, but why... her life is so much better than that of the concubine, the concubine is not reconciled, if... if Jieyu dies, In the eyes of the emperor, there will be only the concubine. Madam, the concubine pleads guilty."

All reasons start from selfish desires and end because of selfish desires...
