Qingchuan History

Chapter 99

Gu Xinglang smiled, "I believe this matter itself is Chunfeng's idea. But many details at the execution level, including making cards on site to prevent them from being copied, and borrowing tokens in July to avoid my suspicions, these , It’s not something that Chunfeng’s brain can think of.”

From a short distance, he looked at Ah Mi who was trembling again, his body leaned forward slightly, his face was calm,

"It must have come from your suggestion."

Ah Xie finally couldn't hold back and cried, and fell on the ground, weeping uncontrollably: "Your Majesty, please forgive me! Your Majesty, please forgive me! Ah Xie is confused, please be extra merciful!"

Gu Xinglang didn't expect her reaction to be so strong, he opened his mouth and shut his mouth to spare his life, thinking to himself when did I say I would kill you?Then she signaled Diyan to go over to calm her down, and turned to Chunyue: "What do you think, Miss Huang?"

Chunyue lightly shook her head, "Forging tokens is a capital offense. After listening to this girl's words, I'm afraid she is also suspected of deceiving the emperor. But after all, she has been in the palace for more than ten years, and she has devoted herself to taking care of Chunfeng in the past nine years. At this time, Master Shen Ji has already led people out of the palace. Thanks to this girl, she acted cautiously and explained all the clues clearly. I hope the situation is not too bad. Two merits are equal to one fault, Your Majesty, don’t worry Spare her life."

Gu Xinglang nodded, "I also feel that she is quick-witted and has some brains. Although the matter is serious, at least she intends to minimize the risk."

He looked at Auntie again, the girl was crying with tears all over her face, and her hair was a little disheveled, but her mood had stabilized a lot, so he took a sip of tea, stopped looking at her, and said loudly:

"My sister violated the palace rules, the crime is unforgivable; I think she has served Princess Chunfeng for many years, so the death penalty can be avoided. I will be expelled from the palace today, and the family will be generational," he paused, and then changed his words:
"For the next three generations, they are not allowed to work in the palace."

The news spread quickly, and the whole palace was shaken.Auntie is an old man in the palace, and even the most respected servant girl by His Highness Chunfeng's side, but I don't know which palace rule she violated?

There are no more than five people who know the truth, including Ah Ji herself.When Gu Chunfeng received the news, he took a slap in the face and ran to the Turning Lan Palace.

Gu Xinglang was gone, she knelt outside the hall for more than half an hour.The dignified Gu Chunfeng, has he ever suffered such a hardship?
Sure enough, Gu Xinglang had to get someone to help her in, and even sent a medical lady to come and see her, fearing that she would hurt her knee by kneeling.

Even so, Gu Xinglang still didn't change his will when Chunfeng stayed in Wanlan Hall until dinner time.

She was watching him while he was eating, saying that she would not eat if Brother Jiu didn't change his mind, not this meal, nor the next meal, until he agreed to keep Auntie.

Naturally, Jun Shang should not be disturbed when eating, so she couldn't keep talking, so she could only stare at him and shed tears.

Except when her mother, Mrs. Dingzhen, passed away, she almost never cried.Gu Xinglang pawed at the food with a sullen face, thinking that it was because he had experienced in Zhexue Palace eight days ago, otherwise he might not be able to hold back at this moment and would soften his heart.

Facing Ruan Xueyin's hardened heart at that time, it may be difficult to surpass in the long years to come.

He went for a walk in the imperial garden, and Chunfeng followed him, bargaining in various ways, and even offered to confine his feet to Linghua Hall for half a year.

Of course it still doesn't work.

Until Gu Xinglang returned to the Wanlan Palace, entered the imperial study room, and started to turn on the lamp to read the booklets, Chunfeng's tears could no longer flow, his voice was hoarse, and he came out with a mournful face, and A Yi was standing outside the palace gate Waiting is dry mouth.

"Your Highness has figured it out. After tossing around all day, let's go back and have a rest. Dr. Cui from the Imperial Hospital brought medicine, and asked my maidservant to put medicine on His Highness's knee sooner or later."

Gu Chunfeng was exhausted, he paused every step, and murmured, "Where's your aunt?"

"Pack up things in the room. Your Majesty said that it will be within a few days, but not within a few days. We advised her to pack up slowly and wait for His Highness to think about it."

Chunfeng nodded: "Yes. Auntie hasn't left the palace yet, I still have time." Then he turned his head, "Go to Pishuang Palace."

Ji Wanling went to Turn the Lantern Hall shortly after Gu Xinglang went down to court at the Si hour of the second day.

"She has loved teasing you since she was a child, and she is not forgiving even now. You are willing to come and intercede for her."

Ji Wanling smiled, with a hint of sarcasm: "Teasing? Your Majesty may have used the wrong word. Cutting off so much hair, the ruthless attack is already considered bullying."

Gu Xinglang's eyebrows moved slightly.Before, he only thought that she would speak rudely when she was emotional, but it was different from when she was young. This time the context was normal, but she still spoke rudely——

During the few years when he was enthroned, he was busy governing the government and didn't pay attention, how many changes had happened to her?

Of course, such an assessment would not be fair to her.If Gu Chunfeng or Shangguan concubine said the same thing, it would not make people feel uncomfortable.Because they are all pampered, their tone of voice perfectly matches their demeanor.

But she is Ji Wanling.Ji Wanling's personality and appearance, and the impressions she has built in front of everyone over the years——

She shouldn't be talking like that.Neither appropriate nor cute.

Ji Wanling didn't notice his ups and downs, and went straight to the point:
"Ah-psi started to serve Chunfeng when she was 11 years old. Counting it, it has been nine years. Henger has been with me for ten years. Sometimes I feel sad when I think that one day she will marry and leave. After entering the palace, The feeling is even stronger when the family is not around."

As she spoke, she suddenly saw a shiny white jade box on the ebony desk with the lid open. She went around to look curiously, and her eyes lit up:
"Is this epiphyllum? Freshly picked?"

After finishing talking, I was in a daze. It was already in Sishi, and it opened before dawn, so I should thank you at this time.But the petals, stamens and filaments looked fresh, even more three-dimensional and delicate than fresh ones, and even the very faint lines on the petals were clearly visible.

Gu Xinglang was also stunned when he heard the words.He has been putting it on the desk recently, and when he comes back from the morning or grades the papers at night, he occasionally opens it to look at it. He doesn't know whether it is to see things and think about people, or to strengthen his confidence after seeing things and thinking about stories.

Today, Xia Chao came in and took a look, then went to drink tea, without closing the lid.

"No. It's just freezing the fresh epiphyllum with a specific technique."

"Frozen?"

He was a little helpless: "Maybe there is the link of freezing, there must be other steps, I don't know too well."

Ji Wanling couldn't take her eyes off her eyes: "It's only a flash in the pan, and even the laws of nature can be modified in different ways. Nowadays, there are more and more capable people and craftsmen in Qingchuan. Where did this come from?"

Gu Xinglang didn't say anything, he couldn't answer, and he didn't want to answer, instead he said: "This time, the matter of my sister-in-law is not a trivial matter; to say that I violated the palace rules is just to take into account the face of Chunfeng and Linghua Palace, it is far from that simple .You come to intercede for her, the words are already in place, but I will not change my mind. She knows my temper and dare not blame you. Stop here."

"I'm not finished yet."

Gu Xinglang sighed: "Just now you started clearly enough, but you just talked about love and reluctance. Love, you have to talk about it; but this time, love can't be worth it. The crime that should lose your head is just exile in the end. When I left the palace, I didn't even get a board. I have already taken my affection into consideration."

Ji Wanling stared blankly, the crime of losing her head, what did that girl, Auntie, do?
