Chapter 191
After a thorough investigation into the poisoning incident, Gu Nian informed the emperor, and Luo Cairen also paid for his mistake, framing the concubine should have implicated the whole family, but Gu Nian stopped him.

In the end, he just gave her a glass of poisoned wine to commit suicide, harming others and ultimately harming herself.

It's just that the source of everything is caused by the emperor, with constant power and endless disputes.

After Gu Nianjing's incident, there was a long period of silence. A woman as beautiful as a flower, just because she saw the most supreme power in the world, irrigated her growing greed and finally took her life.

Perhaps when she first entered the palace, she only wanted to spend her life in the palace safely.

When you lose yourself, you forget your original intention.

……

His eyes turned black, and the world was spinning for a while. Unfortunately, Gu Nian collapsed from exhaustion.

When Lue accompanied her to greet the queen mother, she passed out on the ground in a way she had never thought of.

Even she herself didn't realize that she was so exhausted every day that her physical strength was exhausted. She had already reached the zero point, and a gust of cold wind became the last straw that overwhelmed her.

It is said that the defeat of a soldier is like a mountain falling, and the recovery of a disease is like spinning silk.

Gu Nian was lying weakly on the bed, Lue looked at her haggard face and said distressedly: "Mother, it's just that Luo Cairen died, and you fell ill."

Lue helped Gu Nian up, brought the steaming medicine to her mouth with a spoon, and said dissatisfiedly: "This is what God said, you can't live without doing your own crimes, everything is her own fault, you pity her, then why do you feel sorry for her?" Don't take pity on yourself. When you were in a coma, the emperor even saw you once, and those concubines, none of them had a conscience. You are so kind to them, ma'am, who would say a word to visit you?"

Gu Nian licked the corner of her lips, her mouth was full of bitterness, and she couldn't suppress it: "It's not that those people have no conscience, it's because the imperial doctor said that I should rest in rest, so what you said doesn't hold water."

Lue was rendered speechless by Gu Nian's words, muttered, and finally closed her mouth.

The bitter taste permeated the air, and Luca was being fed spoonfuls again. Gu Nian felt like a criminal who had been tortured, tormenting her life and death, not even giving him anything.

"Lue, this medicine is too bitter, I can't drink it anymore."

Gu Nian rejected the spoon, and the double bitter taste flowed from the throat into the lungs, as if the whole person was soaked in the medicinal materials.

"Your Majesty, good medicine tastes bitter and is good for the disease. The imperial doctor said that you will recover sooner after drinking the medicine."

Gu Nian shook his head, checked his own pulse, it was just that he was overtired, and it was not a serious problem at all.

What's more, she can guess what kind of medicine is put in this bowl. Codonopsis pilosula, Atractylodes macrocephala, Poria cocos, Astragalus membranaceus, etc. are all good for nourishing the heart and calming the mind, and she can slowly replenish these with food supplements.

What to do to take this bitter medicine and suffer from it.

Gu Nian would never admit that she is not afraid of pain or tiredness, but this is the only suffering that she cannot bear.

Lue compromised, she put down the medicine bowl in her hand, and moved the charcoal fire closer to the bed.

Winter has come, and the cold wind is blowing outside the window. If you go out for a walk, you will feel the pain in your head.

Wrapped in the cold, Ming Pei opened the curtain on the door, warmed his hands and feet indoors, and walked up to Gu Nian when he felt that his body was no longer cold.

Seeing that most of the medicine was left on the stool, he also scolded: "Madam, how can you not drink the medicine well? Good medicine is bitter and good for the disease, you are really too willful!"

Gu Nian raised her head angrily, and stared at Ming Pei's face: "I don't even want to see you and Lue look alike, but the words I said are exactly the same. Okay, okay, Bengong's body is clear to me. , it’s three-point poisonous medicine, as long as I raise it for a while, it will be fine.”

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, there is nowhere to find fresh fruit if you want to eat it. As a last resort, Gu Nian stuffed a candied fruit into his mouth, trying to wash away the bitter taste in his mouth.

The dried fruit of the candied fruit melted in Gu Nian's mouth, and his frowning brows relaxed: "What happened to the cold palace recently? Send them the thick quilts for winter."

Ming Pei brought a bowl of water and put it in Gu Nian's palm to keep her warm: "I've ordered you to go on. Each person has a thick quilt and two sets of winter clothes. This winter, the days will not be too difficult."

"That's good." After spitting out the fruit core in his mouth, Lue wanted to feed her another one, but she refused, held up the hot water for warming his hands, and drank it clean in small sips.

"only……"

Ming Pei hesitated, looking at Gu Nian's haggard face, not knowing whether to say it or not.

"Just what?" Gu Nian raised the cup in his hand and looked at the colorful butterflies outlined with gold powder on it: "Is it Chen Zhaoyi, she asked you to tell me to rescue her from the cage in the cold palace?"

Ming Pei said calmly: "Yes, Chen Zhaoyi hopes that you can rescue her, she doesn't want to suffer in the cold palace anymore. She also said... She also said that she has thought clearly, she can help you if you want."

After speaking, he took out a token from his sleeve and handed it to Gu Nian.

The copper-yellow token is heavy, with a Chen character forged on it. This is the backhand hidden by the Patriarch of the Chen family. It is not as heavy and simple as the royal token.

There is weight in the hand, and that Chen character must have been touched many times, otherwise it would not have remained in its most primitive state.

Gu Nian chuckled, she would help Chen Yuying only because she promised her father and brother that she would live her life safe and sound.

She didn't expect the other party to give her such a big surprise. Gu Nian thought of the members of the Chen clan, who could leave a hand for Chen Yuying. The other party must also know that the emperor would not let them go easily.

"Your Majesty, what is the use of this token?"

Gu Nian put away the token, and said slowly: "I have heard from the emperor that the Chen clan has been accused of many crimes, including eating empty rings, but when the house was ransacked, the money disappeared. Is it true or not, we only know that the wealth accumulated by the Chen family for generations will not be as much as it was finally shown on the emperor's dragon case, so where did the rest of the wealth go?"

Ming Pei's eyes lit up at this moment, and he said pleasantly: "Then according to what your mother said, the money may be closely related to this token."

Gu Nian nodded and shook his head again: "Since the Chen family gave this token to Chen Yuying, they will not be aimless. It must have its uses, but it is not certain whether it is money in the end, or it may be a private soldier."

After talking for a long time, Gu Nian's spirit began to weaken again: "Okay, I'm a little tired, lie down for a while, Chen Zhaoyi's place, you can call back for Bengong, just say that Bengong knows and will help her, It’s just that we have to wait now, when the time is right.”

Gu Nian, the general, was locked in the Kunning Palace for two full months, and she handed over all the affairs in the harem to the third concubine.

It seems that there are three parties, Liangfei has no desires, and only Concubine Shu and Another Concubine can make decisions.

The greatest joy I hear every day is that Concubine Shu and Concubine Ling are not right, either you are pinching me, or I am holding on to your fault and will not let go.

Over time, even the emperor could smell the smell of gunpowder in the harem. Later, whenever there was a big or small matter, Concubine Shu would go to his imperial study to complain.

It was okay once, but after a long time, even he himself couldn't hold on anymore.

The rewards were sent to Gu Nian's Kunning Palace like flowing water, only for her to recover as soon as possible and regain the power in the harem.
