Chapter 13
Fang Huan's guess was right, after Concubine Yun returned to the palace, she still couldn't hold back and asked her: "Fang Huan, shouldn't I beg for mercy for that princess? If it wasn't for Bengong, she wouldn't He is still kneeling as a punishment.”

Seeing his master's guilt-ridden appearance, Fang Huan hurriedly comforted him: "Your Majesty, don't worry, you originally meant well, it's not your fault."

Fang Huan spoke a few more words of comfort before Concubine Yun calmed down.

Not long after, a young eunuch came in outside and said that His Majesty would come to Guanju Palace for lunch at noon.

"I know." Concubine Yun nodded and asked people to retreat, then turned her head and said: "Fang Huan, go and order the small kitchen to make their lunch more delicate and delicious, and make more of your majesty's favorite food." food."

"Hey, servant girl is going now." Fang Huan nodded, turned and left.

At lunch time, Gu Fengxuan arrived as scheduled, looked at Concubine Yun who was kneeling at the door, quickly stepped forward and reached out to help her up, and said with pity in her voice, "Didn't I say that Yun'er doesn't need to be at the door?" Welcome, I will go in by myself."

"The concubine knows that His Majesty loves the concubine, but firstly, the etiquette in this palace cannot be ignored, and secondly, the concubine also wants to see His Majesty sooner." Concubine Yun's face turned red, her eyes drooped and she said in a low voice.

Gu Fengxuan loved her shy and timid appearance so much, he was in a good mood for a while, and dragged her inside.

At the dinner table, Gu Fengxuan took a few mouthfuls before opening his mouth and said: "I heard that Yun'er went to pay her mother's peace today? How about it, does the mother embarrass you?"

"How could it be? The Empress Dowager is the most lenient. The concubine went to pay her respects today. The Empress Dowager stayed with the concubine and talked for a long time." Concubine Yun smiled.

"If that's the case, then it would be great." Gu Fengxuan nodded, secretly hoping that his mother and concubine could live in harmony, so that he wouldn't be caught in the middle and it would be difficult for both sides to do it.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the concubine will definitely go to Shoukang Palace to accompany the Queen Mother more, so that the Queen Mother can accept the concubine as soon as possible, and will not make things difficult for Your Majesty." Concubine Yun said very understandingly.

She also knew in her heart that if she and the Queen Mother had been at odds, His Majesty would not always stand by her side, at least not always defend her as before. After all, His Majesty and the Queen Mother are mother and son.

"I'm very relieved that Yun'er can think like this." Gu Fengxuan smiled with satisfaction, and brought some food for Concubine Yun himself, "Let's eat."

After lunch, Gu Fengxuan was still busy with government affairs, but he still watched Concubine Yun drink the medicine before leaving.

Concubine Yun held the empty medicine bowl and looked at Gu Fengxuan's leaving back with an indifferent expression...

Because of Concubine Yun's pleading, Gu Qian'er knelt down until after lunch before being allowed to get up.

Xiao Xi waited anxiously not far away, and when she saw Yun Xiu coming out and saying that Gu Qian'er could get up, she rushed up to help her up.

"Princess, this servant will help you go back to rest." Xiaoxi felt the weight on her body, her eyes were full of distress.

It must be extremely uncomfortable for the princess to kneel on this cold and hard ground for one night and one morning with such a weak body.

"I'm fine, help me go back to my room." Gu Qian'er patted Xiaoxi's hand comfortingly.

"Yes."

After returning to the room, Xiaoxi helped the person to sit down, reached out and lifted Gu Qianer's trouser legs, and saw that the whole knee was swollen, and the upper part was red and swollen, and many places had turned blue and purple.

"This..." Xiaoxi looked at the horrible wound, her fingers couldn't help trembling, her eyes were filled with tears, and her voice was choked up, "Princess, you have suffered."

In the end, he withdrew his hand, stood up and said, "I will give you a basin of cold water and apply it first, and then I will go to the Imperial Hospital to get you medicine."

Gu Qian'er nodded, said something hard and asked someone to fetch water, and when the person left, Gu Qian'er's original gentle appearance disappeared without a trace, looking at the scar on her knee, her eyes were dark.

Soon Xiaoxi came in with a basin of cold water. After applying it to Gu Qianer for a while, he went to the Tai Hospital to get the wound medicine. When he came back, he changed Gu Qianer's clothes first, and then began to apply medicine and bandages, etc. By the time it was done, it was already dark.

Xiaoxi wiped the sweat from her forehead, raised her head and said, "It's already so late, princess, this servant is going to bring you some food."

Not long after, Xiaoxi came back with a tray. As soon as she entered the door, Gu Qian'er saw the aggrieved but helpless expression on her face, and then looked at the food in her hand, and she understood everything.

There are only two plates of green vegetables and a bowl of rice on it, and the portions are very small.

Before Xiaoxi could figure out what to say, Gu Qian'er on the other side had already said, "Let's put it down, this light food is just right, and you can rest earlier after eating."

Hearing this, Xiaoxi silently put the things in her hands in front of Gu Qian'er, then stepped aside, lowered her head with red eyes.

Seeing this, Gu Qian'er didn't say much, but picked up the chopsticks and started to eat silently. She didn't ask why today's food was different from the past, and she didn't ask where the other court lady is now, because these are all obvious things.

Things were just as Gu Qian'er expected, since she was punished to kneel that day, her treatment has plummeted, and she is always being made things difficult and ridiculed from time to time, this situation can be said to be worse than being in the cold palace.

Gu Qian'er's side was having a hard time, and the Queen Mother's side was not happy either. Since Concubine Yun came to pay her respects that day and gave her a good face, she came to Shoukang Palace more and more frequently.

Every time Concubine Yun came over, the Queen Mother would always be unhappy, but Concubine Yun didn't seem to feel it, the service was attentive and thoughtful, and she knew how to measure, so that the Queen Mother couldn't find fault.

Chased and couldn't be driven away, scolding her for not being able to understand, and punishing her for no justifiable reason, but the queen mother was so aggrieved that she didn't want to see Concubine Yun, so she could only kneel in the Buddhist hall to pay respects to the Buddha every day, but how long she knelt, Concubine Yun would be there How long she waited outside made the Queen Mother kneel longer and longer.

After kneeling like this for several days, the Queen Mother finally couldn't take it anymore, even though the floor was covered with cushions, the Queen Mother didn't want to continue, and was going to get up and go out to rest.

The result was that when she got up, an accident happened suddenly. The queen mother didn't stand still, her feet were unstable, and she threw herself forward. With a muffled sound, her head hit the altar in front of her, and all the candles, melons and fruits placed on it fell down. , the candle fell beside the Queen Mother's skirt.

The fine silk is extremely flammable. Before the Queen Mother could react, the flames swept up instantly. Looking at the fire on her body, the Queen Mother panicked: "Ah, come here!"

The Empress Dowager does not like to be disturbed by others, so Yunxiu and the others usually wait outside. After hearing the voice of the Empress Dowager, Yunxiu hurriedly led people to push the door in, and saw the Empress Dowager lying on the ground, the flames on her clothes It has spread to the waist, and I screamed in fright, "Come on, someone—— escort!"

With this shout, more people rushed in from outside the door, and the scene was suddenly in a panic...
