Alluring City
Chapter 117 The People Behind the Scenes
"You really don't want me to see you off?" If he doesn't show up tomorrow, there's no guarantee that the people at the station won't be disrespectful to her.However, with her means, it must be extremely easy to subdue those people, and he doesn't have to worry too much at all.
"Of course, it's not that I won't see you anymore, it's only three days, and it's gone in a flash." Gu Xiaowu waved his hand.
"If that's the case, then I won't see you off tomorrow. You didn't close your eyes last night. Rest early. I'll go back to the East Palace first." Although she knew that she might not be able to rest at ease now, she still couldn't bear it. Stop telling her.
"You didn't sleep last night, so take some time to rest after you go back." Gu Xiaowu said casually.
After sending Dugu Chen away, Gu Xiaowu hurried to see Su Wen.I thought it would take a while for her to wake up, but she didn't expect that she would have already woken up.
"Miss, Su Wen has caused you trouble again." Su Wen looked at Gu Xiao Wu with a guilty face, if she hadn't been hurt too badly, she would have gotten out of bed and knelt down to Gu Xiao Wu.
Seeing Su Wen struggling to sit up, why did Su Xin press her shoulders.
"The injury is so serious, don't get up." Sitting up reluctantly will only make the injury worse.
"Can……"
"Su Xin is right, lie down." Gu Xiaowu smiled, "I will move to the inn outside the palace with Lan Shenglian early in the morning, and will not return to the palace until the day we get married, so I I have already sent a letter to Yanfeng asking him to wait for you at the gate of the palace tomorrow morning, if I leave, I don’t feel at ease leaving the two of you in Jinxiu Palace.”
Li Jieyu is not the only one staring at her in this palace, even though Li Jieyu fell into her hands today, it doesn't mean that the other concubines will not take the risk to do something else.
Li Jieyu's recklessness does not mean that the other concubines in the palace are as reckless as she is. Although Su Xin and Su Wen are good at martial arts, when it comes to scheming, they are definitely not the opponents of these concubines.
Su Xin was a little hesitant, she frowned and said: "Miss, Su Wen's injury is too serious, I'm afraid it's not suitable to move."
"I know this, but it may be more dangerous to keep you in the palace." And she will leave this place on the day of her wedding, if they stay here, it will definitely bring trouble to them.
The imperial palace is not too far from Tianxiang Tower, so if you are careful, there will be no problem, and she will feel more at ease if Su Wen is placed in Tianxiang Tower.
"...Yes, Su Xin understands." Although she said she understood, Su Xin reluctantly agreed.
The three days were not too long, and passed in a blink of an eye.
Before dawn, Gu Xiaowu was woken up from the bed by the maid sent by the palace, and then changed into wedding clothes, combed his hair, and put on makeup... Gu Xiaowu was almost in a semi-sleep state during the whole process.
"Miss Lan, you've finished dressing up, do you see if you are satisfied?" Since she and Dugu Chen have not formally married, the maid still calls her Miss Lan.
Only then did Gu Xiaowu really wake up, seeing the monkey's butt-like face in the bronze mirror, Gu Xiaowu almost couldn't laugh out loud.
"Where's the water? Get me some face wash, I want to wash my face." Isn't it a joke to let her appear in front of people with such makeup on?
It's fine if she really wants to marry Dugu Chen, but the key is that she and him won't really go to the end, right?
Although she didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the queen's gourd, but now, she had no choice but to bite the bullet.
"But..." The maid was a little hesitant, although His Highness the Crown Prince had ordered them to follow whatever orders Miss Lan gave when they came, but this order was really...
It took them so much time to put on their makeup. Is it necessary for Miss Lan to wash it off like this?Although they are still young, their make-up skills are the best in the whole palace. Could it not satisfy Miss Lan?
"Miss Lan, please forgive this old slave for being rude. Today is your wedding day with His Highness the Crown Prince. If you wash off your makeup now, or miss the auspicious time, no one will be able to bear the responsibility." A nanny in front of the maid suddenly spoke.
"Since you know it's rude?" Gu Xiaowu turned around and looked at the nanny coldly.
Those nuns in the palace like to rely on their elders to sell their elders because of their deep qualifications. She has heard this before, but it is another matter when she really encounters it.
"Miss Lan, in order not to delay the auspicious time, the old servant can only offend." She is the nanny who has been with the queen mother all the time, let alone a young lady from a family, even if the noble princesses in the palace see her They didn't even dare to be so presumptuous.
"Are you the master or am I the master?" When she was a child, she had watched a costume drama called Gege, and because of that TV drama, she had an inexplicable hostility towards these nuns.
"Miss Lan is naturally the master." Even though the nanny said this, she didn't show any respect at all. Instead, she raised her face and didn't even look at Gu Xiaowu.
Gu Xiaowu smiled instead of anger, "Since you know that I am the master, shouldn't you hurry up and do what I just ordered?"
She doesn't care if the time is good or bad, anyway, she must wash off the thick layer of 'flour' on her face.
"Please forgive me for not being able to follow orders. This old slave was ordered by the Empress Dowager to serve Miss Lan in order to avoid missing the auspicious time. If Miss Lan really wants to do things capriciously, this old slave has no choice but to tell the Queen Mother truthfully." said the nanny loudly.
"Are you threatening me?" Gu Xiaowu sneered, then suddenly kicked the nanny out, "Disobedient slave, I can't afford it, get out while the wedding sedan is still here."
What about the one sent by the queen mother?Have a hairy relationship with her?
The nanny rubbed the place where she was kicked, and couldn't help but yelled.
"Lan Qingcheng, don't be too arrogant. I am the queen mother's person. As long as I tell the queen mother what happened today, she will have another mistress in the East Palace of His Royal Highness in less than a month. Even if you marry So what about His Royal Highness, aren't you just a side concubine?"
"You think I'll be afraid?" She doesn't like Dugu Chen, so what does it have to do with how many women he marries? "However, if you don't get out again, I don't mind letting you get out for the rest of your life."
"You still threaten me? After I return to the palace, I will tell the truth to the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager." The nun was out of anger and still threatened.
"Believe it or not, I can make you shut up for the rest of your life right now?" Gu Xiaowu smiled a bit nastyly, but she wasn't joking.
It is easier than killing an ant to keep a nanny from speaking for the rest of her life, just to her.
Seeing that Gu Xiaowu didn't seem to be joking, the nanny couldn't help being a little scared, but she still insisted: "Lan Qingcheng, let me tell you, I'll go back to the palace to punish you for everything you have done." Tell the empress dowager, I must let the empress dowager decide for me. As long as the empress dowager doesn't like you, you, the prince and side concubine, will not be long."
But Gu Xiaowu laughed, and she said cheerfully: "Go, it's best to hurry up, maybe you can let the queen mother stop this marriage before Dugu Chen and I pay homage."
She had heard too many threats, but this was the funniest line of threats she had ever heard.
When Gu Xiaowu turned around, those maids had already prepared the water for washing their faces.
Gu Xiaowu walked over and completely submerged her face in the water. After soaking for a while, she reached out to wipe off everything on her face.
After wiping off the thick layer of 'flour', I finally felt more comfortable.
"You all go out, I'll do it myself." Although she doesn't like makeup, it doesn't mean she can't.
Although ancient cosmetics are not as easy to use as modern ones, they are all natural and comfortable to use.
Gu Xiaowu didn't make it too complicated, just painted eyeliner and eye shadow, and then put on some rouge.Her eyebrows are already thick, and they are already beautiful without painting.As for the skin on the face, it is white and rosy, and it is not beautiful after painting.
Hearing the sound of firecrackers outside, Xi Niang hurried in and put on a red hijab for her.
"You all go out, I want to say a few words to my sister." Lan Shenglian's voice suddenly sounded at the door, and then I heard the voices of those maids walking out.
Gu Xiaowu sat quietly on the bed, without taking off the hijab on his head.
"Finally, this day has come. Thank you so much these days, and I will trouble you to continue to live in front of people as a city boy." Lan Shenglian said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Although it is a bit reluctant, But this is something we agreed at that time, so I hope you can abide by the agreement."
"Stop talking so much nonsense, hurry up and tell me who poisoned my mother." Gu Xiaowu said angrily.
Lan Shenglian couldn't help laughing, she was really anxious!
"Speaking of which, there are actually two murderers, one is the mastermind behind the scenes, and the other is the person who poisoned your mother." In order to have enough conditions for Gu Qingcheng to agree to a deal with him, he also sacrificed a lot of money. It took a lot of effort to find out the truth of the matter.
"Say it!" Gu Xiaowu gritted her teeth, really wanting to beat someone up, what she hates the most is when someone teases her.
"The mastermind is your mother's cousin named Lin Li. He is still on the Holy Spirit Island and has not come out yet. As for the person who poisoned your mother, it was Lin Li's younger sister Lin Shui. But she disappeared 18 years ago. It's gone." The place on Holy Spirit Island is actually similar to the imperial palace, for that position, even brothers and sisters would kill each other.
"18 years ago? Are you playing with me?" Gu Xiaowu yanked off the hijab on his head and stood up from the bed.
Mother's poison was poisoned 14 years ago, how could the person who disappeared 18 years ago be the one who poisoned mother?
"Don't worry, listen to me first." Lan Shenglian said helplessly, "18 years ago, she actually faked her death, and then she really disappeared after poisoning your mother 14 years ago. It's death, I don't know."
It is not easy to find out these things. If it happened recently, it would not take too much effort, but it happened more than ten years ago, no matter how many traces there are, it will be wiped out.
"Of course, it's not that I won't see you anymore, it's only three days, and it's gone in a flash." Gu Xiaowu waved his hand.
"If that's the case, then I won't see you off tomorrow. You didn't close your eyes last night. Rest early. I'll go back to the East Palace first." Although she knew that she might not be able to rest at ease now, she still couldn't bear it. Stop telling her.
