Qingchuan History

Chapter 407

On the fifth day after Mingluan Hall's trial, Gu Xinglang went to Zhexue Hall.

It was evening, the rainstorm was approaching, and gray clouds crowded in the low sky.Ruan Xueyin was having her own meal when Gu Xinglang quietly entered the side hall.

The two looked at each other without saying anything.

Yunxi silently added more bowls and chopsticks, and retreated knowingly.The Folding Snow Palace has always been quiet, but now it is even quieter, only the sound of the wind before the mountain rain and the billowing thunder lingering in the sky.

No words the whole time.Until the bowl falls to rest.

"I'm grounded. I said no visits are allowed, but you still come."

"I told you not to visit. Naturally, it doesn't include me."

"The reason of the Son of Heaven."

"I want to say that the emperor is arrogant."

Ruan Xueyin didn't say anything, it was her tacit consent.

"How can you keep you in Zhexue Palace if you are not arrogant." He continued.

"There is no doubt about the crime. The only thing that can be convicted so far is the box of medicine." Ruan Xueyin said, "It is reasonable to send a grounding, it is not arrogant."

"You are calm."

"sorry."

Gu Xinglang's expression faltered, "What?"

"Without discussing it with you, mentioning Phoenix Cry and Dahua Xianglan in front of the courtiers, especially the latter. It really shouldn't be. There is a slight difference," she paused.

"Go on."

"Slightly wrong, or lead to national war."

"It's so many, you still say it." Gu Xinglang's tone was difficult to understand, "I always thought that Jingting Ge was a big gambler. I didn't expect it to be the inheritance of the master. In critical moments, you are also a gambler."

"She doesn't dare." Of course it was Shangguan Concubine.

"That's right. One person should deal with Phoenix Weeping and Dahua Xianglan. Even if the truth is uncertain and can be quibbled," Gu Xinglang said in a deep voice, "Mingluan Hall, all the ministers of the country listen, no matter what the consequences, she can't bear it." rise."

It is very likely that all the plans of Cangwu City will be ruined.

"So it's a sure-win bet." Ruan Xueyin looked up at him, "Don't blame me too much."

"Are you still afraid of my fault?"

"Afraid. I'm not afraid of being blamed by others, only afraid of you."

Gu Xinglang suddenly felt a little hardened. "What are you doing with such deceitful words while staring at a table of leftovers?"

Ruan Xueyin thought this was the truth, not coaxing.

He looked at her for a moment.

"Change to another place." Suddenly got up and went out of the side hall, heading towards the sleeping hall.

"Your Majesty, your majesty has all gone in. Ma'am, this is—" Yunxi waited outside the hall, and seeing only one came out, and there was no movement for a while, she hesitated to move into the hall to have a look, and she saw that Ruan Xueyin was still at the table side.

"Aren't I being grounded?"

Yunxi reacted to this for a while, and said uncertainly: "You ground your feet, it doesn't matter whether you stay overnight or not, right? You can't go out, he can come here."

How can this be.Ruan Xueyin was persuaded by Yunxi all the way back to the dormitory, opened the door and went in, Gu Xinglang was already sprawled on the soft couch beside the chess table.

It shouldn't be said that you are leaning all over the place, because no matter how indulgent you are, you still have a three-point demeanor.

"I just ate so full, I'd rather lie down."

It is really inconsistent with his usual self-discipline.

"You can't go out. It's boring for me to walk alone."

"In the past without me, it wouldn't have been the same."

"That's right. Now that I have it, I can't stand it. This is what the Buddhists say about greed, hatred and ignorance. Once you come, I will take it all."

That's why I didn't talk deceitful words.Who is full of honey.

"come over."

"No."

"Why?" Gu Xinglang stared.

Ruan Xueyin also glared at him.

"Come and sit across from me. Finish talking. What's going on in your head."

Ruan Xueyin looked coldly at him as not seeming to be cheating.

Fang walked over slowly and sat down.

"My lord that day, thankfully it was Shangguan." She spoke first.

"otherwise?"

"If it's a court song, I can't win the bet."

"Will she choose to die?"

"She will bet that I dare not tell the truth about Dahua Xianglan."

"I won't be coerced by you."

"Yes."

"Perhaps this is the reason why she insisted on getting in the way and forcing you to leave Qi Palace." Gu Xinglang said slowly, "You know each other so well, and no one is more suitable as an opponent in terms of attacking each other. If you are really determined in the future Helping me wholeheartedly is a serious problem for her."

"Probably. The bird has been away for five days and hasn't come back yet. I don't know how she will answer." She subconsciously looked out the window.

"You were alone in the Mingluan Hall. First you fought against the courtiers, then the back court, and finally you lightly trained the Daqi brothers who add up to several hundred years old," Gu Xinglang also lightly said,
"This matter has spread throughout Qingchuan. Jing Tingge should have known about it for several days."

Ruan Xueyin was stunned, "I never trained them."

"What are you talking about in order to attack the army, and secondly to attack the enemy, and go round and round to ridicule them for not doing their business and staring at the backyard." Gu Xinglang said slowly,

"Finally, I would like to say that Fengwuchang should be considered carefully. To put it lightly, the whole hall is silent, who can't hear it?"

he looked at her,
"I heard from Di Yan today that there are quite a few folk versions of your speech at the Mingluan Palace. Some say that you said it outrageously while pleading guilty, and others say that it was you who refused to admit your mistakes and stood in front of the hall. The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty scolded loudly."

Ruan Xueyin raised her eyebrows slightly, "This reputation is pretty bad."

"Not necessarily. It seems that there are so many people who praise your intellectual structure. What do you say, even though you are a woman, you are not inferior to a man? Even if you are in the harem, you can be a national scholar."

Ruan Xueyin was quite surprised, "If this praise is sincere, there is still hope for this generation. There is still hope for Jing Tingge. But this sentence can be regarded as a national scholar, no matter how it sounds, it seems to hurt me."

She stared at him, seemingly casually,

"Did it pierce your heart?"

Gu Xinglang blinked, "What kind of thorn are you giving me?"

"I've heard that when a woman is talented, she just needs to restrain herself. Once she displays her talent and is even on par with a man, it will not only offend the world, but even her sweetheart will have discord because of it."

Gu Xinglang frowned, "Who is your sweetheart?"

Ruan Xueyin leaned slightly, resting her right elbow on the chess table and staring at him,
"Whoever has unparalleled bearing and will not cause quarrels because of it is my sweetheart."

"You're cheating." He finally frowned, "If I'm not satisfied that you are more talented than a national scholar, can I not live here?"

He reached out and touched her heart across the small square chess table.

The sky is bright and the sun is bright, where should the hand point?She slapped him away, corrected her expression,
"Just because you can't. That's why you can. You've lived for so long."

Gu Xinglang's eyebrows and eyes were even more curved, "How long? It's only half a year."

"It's almost a year. From last July to June this year." She snapped her fingers seriously.

"Last July." Although it wasn't completely unresponsive, it was pleasantly surprised.

Ruan Xueyin coughed, "Probably." She quickly changed the subject, "How long will my grounding last?"

I haven't seen you in five days, so I should get things over with.Gu Xinglang also accepted his thoughts,
"You are very confident."

"The physical evidence is gone."

Gu Xinglang was in a daze for a moment, "Those medicines are gone?"

"It was dealt with before the incident that morning."

"Before you fainted?"

"Ah."

"Where's the dizzy medicine?"

"Also dealt with."

"The action is fast. When and how did you get the medicine from the Imperial Medical Bureau?"

So I will roughly talk about it.

"You intend to bring this matter to Mingluan Hall."

"I didn't at first. I just wanted to save myself in the back court." She paused, "But since the palace is being searched, Madam Yu said that the courtiers are still waiting for an explanation in the palace, so I thought,"

"The scenes are all set up, so we might as well draw on the bottom line." Gu Xinglang continued.

"sorry."

"And why."

"It's not proper for a concubine to enter the court, you agree; the concubine also clearly stated the current situation when she ascended the court, and spread the dark tide under the sun. If the courtiers don't say anything, after that day, they will have some criticisms against you."

"Know everything. It's better to break the bottom line. Let you go to the hall and listen to what they say. If it's too much, I will clean it up. You just want to speak;
There is no doubt about the crime, but you only need to bear a bad reputation. After all, the medicine has been transferred by you, and you can just wait for it to die without a problem. You have to lead most of the backyard to the palace and take that kind of risk;
The other party retreated in spite of the difficulty, and the foot restraint order was issued for you, so you waited for the result and waited for the change.You also have to say that when you go to the army to attack and plan, you will make people look at it. "

He finished talking in one breath, and sighed, "When you still have something to say, I should suppress it on the spot and gag you."

As summer night falls, the lights gradually brighten.The windows were open, letting in the evening breeze.

"I just don't want you to clean up." Ruan Xueyin said slowly,

"They want to slay the favorite, I will defend myself; if they want to avoid the blame, I will block it myself. This is already the case, if you can't help the palace to protect each other, you will be confused by me and lose your sense of proportion for a woman. If Shangguan concubine or Cang The ultimate goal of this trouble in Wucheng lies with you,"

A lot of rumors pointed out that Ruan Xueyin was pointed out, but Gu Xinglang was actually killed.

"This item, I also hinted at the palace that day. If they really know how to attack and plan, they shouldn't be instigated by this monarch and his ministers to shut the door and fight among themselves."

"That's why the sentence "Fengwu Changyi should be considered carefully, it's not meant as ridicule, it's the truth." He looked at her deeply.

"Naturally. I'm not that mean."
