Spring Girl's Notes

Four years later.

In the capital city of the twelfth lunar month, the remnant snow is shining brightly, the moon is dim and bright, the night is closed, and the bright lights are clear overnight.The imperial palace in the capital, with carved beams and painted buildings, has not changed its beauty, but it has long been changed.

These days, Gu Jinzhi has been resting in Jishan Palace.

Jishan Palace is the bedroom of Empress Dowager Tan.

Gu Jinzhi has lived in Jishan Palace for a year and a half.

Four years ago, she was betrayed by the guards of Luzhou Palace and taken to the capital.On the way, people from Luzhou caught up.Those traitors knew they couldn't run away, so they just took Gu Jinzhi northward, leaving Tongtong and Yanshao behind.

At that time, Gu Jinzhi was not only bumped, but also worried about Tongtong and Yanshao, and was very anxious.

She didn't know whether they left Tongtong and Yanshao behind or killed them.

Suffering such a double blow, Gu Jinzhi lost her baby at that time and almost died halfway.After the miscarriage, her bleeding could hardly be stopped, and it was like walking through the gate of hell.Now that I think about it, I am terrified.If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't let go of too many things in her heart and relied on her perseverance, she would have returned to the underworld by now.

Sun Su'an was bought by the emperor's people.

Gu Jinzhi was also imprisoned in Jinyiwei's prison, waiting to use her to threaten Zhu Zhongjun.

At that time, she was dying of illness, and she supported herself on one breath.Now that I think about it, it feels kind of creepy.In the prison, I don't know how many innocent souls died, and the wind was blowing.In the middle of the night, there were vaguely ghosts crying.She was in a daze, and after a long time, she became numb.

The emperor was also afraid that she would die, so he sent an imperial physician to treat her.

The imperial physician who came to see her was actually Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan.People from Suzhou used to have some friendship with Gu Jinzhi's uncle.More than ten years ago, Gu Jinzhi's eldest aunt was suffering from a serious illness. The uncle asked Zhang Yuan to go to Yanling Mansion to see the doctor for the eldest aunt. As a result, Zhang Yuan, who was not good at women's diseases, made a mistake.

Then, Gu Jinzhi healed the eldest aunt and slapped Zhang Yuan in the face.

At that time, Zhang Yuan was very unconvinced, and also very afraid that Gu Jinzhi and the Song family would speak out.Thus ruining his reputation as a famous doctor.

But Gu Jinzhi didn't.

By keeping this secret, she saved Zhang Yuan's reputation.

Although Zhang Yuan was competitive, he was upright in heart. For this matter, he has always been grateful to Gu Jinzhi.He also thought that there would be a chance to repay Gu Jinzhi in the future.Therefore.When he saw Gu Jinzhi in the prison, he froze for a moment.

Then he smiled, a little friendly.

"...I'll give you a blind prescription, and you send me a letter." At that time, Gu Jinzhi saw Zhang Yuan as if she saw a life-saving straw, and she tried to hold Zhang Yuan tightly.I want Zhang Yuan to send her a letter.

"Princess, I dare not." Zhang Yuan just devoted himself to treating Gu Jinzhi's illness.He didn't dare to send her a letter.

Zhang Yuan is a smart man, and the empress dowager in the palace loves Princess Luyang very much.

If news of Princess Luyang spread, the Empress Dowager would definitely save her.

If Gu Jinzhi could go out, the emperor would definitely blame Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan came to see a doctor for Gu Jinzhi, not to make trouble for the emperor.

"...You don't want the prescription of Angong Niuhuang Wan?" Gu Jinzhi asked Zhang Yuan.

Angong Niuhuang Wan is a relatively easy-to-use antipyretic drug in Chinese medicine, which is not available in this era.Gu Jinzhi just gave the prescription to Qin Shensi.

now.She also doesn't care about Qin Shensi's interests, she wants to protect herself.It's important to save your own life.She knew that Qin Shensi didn't blame her.If possible, Qin Shensi would also be willing to save Gu Jinzhi by going bankrupt.

It's just that now, it's useless to go bankrupt.

In this cage, Gu Jinzhi couldn't get out.

"You just need to reveal some news to the Empress Dowager." Seeing Zhang Yuan stunned for a moment, Gu Jinzhi knew that Zhang Yuan was moved, and continued, "There is no need to tell the Empress Dowager."

Zhang Yuan frowned slightly.

In the end, he still helped Gu Jinzhi deliver the message, not for the prescription.

He secretly called someone and told Queen Mother Tan about Gu Jinzhi's imprisonment.Empress Dowager Tan and the emperor are somewhat related by blood, and she is more inclined to the emperor, so it doesn't matter if you tell her.

Zhang Yuan thought so.

Even so, Zhang Yuan is quite adventurous.

He thought that if he left a line at the beginning, and now he returns it to her, he will not owe her anything in the future. In this way, Zhang Yuan himself can be debt-free.

Empress Dowager Tan was a little surprised when she found out that Gu Jinzhi was in the imperial prison, and asked the emperor what was going on.

She didn't want to save Gu Jinzhi.

She just didn't understand why Gu Jinzhi was arrested.

The emperor knew that the Empress Dowager Tan would not plead for Gu Jinzhi, let alone tell the Empress Dowager, so he truthfully said to the Empress Dowager Tan: "People in Luzhou are restless. Over the years, I heard that the King of Luyang has trained countless elite soldiers, which is even more powerful. Artillery. They want to rebel! I arrested Luyang Princess first, if they dare to rebel, I will kill his princess, let's see if he has the guts!"

"Prince Luyang is just a fool, how can he have such ambitions, don't someone provoke him?" Empress Dowager Tan said, "Will His Majesty anger King Luyang by recklessly arresting Concubine Luyang?"

Queen Mother Tan didn't care about King Luyang's life or death, but she didn't want Gu Jinzhi to die too.Over the years, Luzhou has been delivering medicine to Queen Mother Tan, which is indispensable to Queen Mother Tan.

The emperor's arrest of Gu Jinzhi in the capital was equivalent to breaking the Queen Mother Tan's medicine.

"I'm not quite sure. As for anger, it's even more nonsense. If the king of Luyang didn't have this intention, he wouldn't be angered." The emperor said, "But the affairs of this world will not be groundless. If Luzhou is fine, How could it be related to such rumors? This matter, I have my own calculations, so there is no need for the empress to ask more questions."

"Your Majesty, how does the Ai family deal with themselves?" Empress Dowager Tan smiled and said, "The Ai family does not want to interfere with Your Majesty's affairs. It's just that Princess Luyang sends medicine to the Ai family every year. If you kill her, What about Aijia’s medicine? If we cut off Aijia’s medicine, what’s the difference from killing Aijia?”

The emperor's face fell slightly.

Empress Dowager Tan accused him of wanting to kill his mother.

In recent years, Empress Dowager Tan has used filial piety to suppress the emperor.

Of course, things are not too much, and the emperor does not hate her.

He didn't want to entangle with Queen Mother Tan any longer, so he said: "Don't worry, Queen Mother. I just locked up Princess Luyang and didn't want to kill her. I also sent a letter to Luzhou to let King Luyang go to Beijing. If there is no military training in Luzhou, King Luyang will do it on his own." Go to Beijing to prove your innocence. Moreover, the case of Princess Yanping’s rebellion involved even the king of Nanchang, so Luzhou cannot be kept clean! All these things must be investigated.”

This kind of grass and trees are all soldiers, and the Empress Dowager Tan is also harsh to hear it.

The emperor.Recently, she has acted fiercely and treacherously, which Empress Dowager Tan doesn't like.I heard that it was Yuan Yuye's idea, and Empress Dowager Tan didn't want to persuade her too much.

She doesn't care who lives or dies.

It doesn't matter if the princess of Yanping or the king of Nanchang has Queen Mother Tan.

She didn't care about anything but her medicine.

"As long as your majesty saves her life, it means saving the life of the Ai family. The Ai family should be very grateful." Empress Dowager Tan said, "As for how to arrange her, if your majesty wants to interrogate her, it doesn't matter if she breaks her feet or disfigures her. It's just that her hand needs to be kept, and she wants to give Aijia medicine. Your Majesty can take care of this. Aijia is grateful to His Majesty..."

The emperor did not intend to torture Gu Jinzhi.

But when Queen Mother Tan said this, the emperor wanted to go for an interrogation.See if you can get something out of Gu Jinzhi's mouth.

The emperor already knew about the escape of the Gu family.

He suffered from lack of evidence, and he could not force Gu Yantao to stay in the capital.

It is also reasonable and legal for Gu Yantao and his family to go south.

It would be good for the emperor if he could extract a confession from Gu Jinzhi.

The emperor smiled and said to the queen mother: "Queen mother, don't worry. I won't ruin her medical skills!"

That night, the emperor went to the prison to interrogate Gu Jinzhi.

Gu Jinzhi was born and went north.There is only one breath left.

The emperor interrogated her and required punishment, which she could not bear.Every time she was interrogated, she would faint to death, and her body dragged on and on.

She suffered a lot in the imperial prison, and one of her legs became inconvenient later on.

One month after she was in Beijing, the Empress Dowager heard the news.

Because of the matter of Princess Yanping, the Empress Dowager was ill with anger before.

As she got older, the Empress Dowager was not physically strong, and with such an illness, she no longer cared about trivial matters.

By the time she heard the wind and guessed what happened in Luzhou, a month had passed.

The empress dowager called the emperor to the Renshou Palace, ready to scold the emperor, but the emperor threw the memorial in front of the empress dowager, his face livid: "Grandmother, King Luyang, he rebelled!"

The day before yesterday, the emperor got the news that not only did King Luyang not go to Beijing to declare his innocence, but he formally rebelled.

When the Empress Dowager heard this, her eyes darkened, and it took her a while to come back to her senses.

She picked up the memorial and looked at it again and again.

Indeed, King Luyang is the opposite.

The memorial slipped silently from the Empress Dowager's fingertips, and she passed out.After waking up, the Empress Dowager was dying and never recovered.

Two months later, the Empress Dowager passed away.

At that time, Gu Jinzhi was also in prison, with his last breath remaining.

When she heard that the Empress Dowager passed away, she burst into tears.

In the end, she didn't even have a chance to offer the empress dowager a stick of incense on the ground.

At that time, her legs were not very good, and it was difficult for her to walk.

For the next six months, Gu Jinzhi lived in prison.

Her hands and feet were getting worse.

She didn't know what happened to Luzhou during those six months.Gu Jinzhi didn't know when Zhu Zhongjun and his son started the incident and to what extent.

Half a year later, Qin Shensi no longer delivered medicine to Queen Mother Tan, and Queen Mother Tan's medicine had been cut off.

At this time, Empress Dowager Tan took Gu Jinzhi from the imperial prison to the palace, and asked her to open up an open space in the imperial garden, plant poppies, and make medicine for Empress Tan.

Gu Jinzhi was also temporarily placed in the cold palace.

However, poppies take time to grow.

Empress Dowager Tan couldn't get the medicine, so she took out her anger on Gu Jinzhi.

So, she suffered a lot.

It wasn't until she made the medicine that her situation improved slightly.

For the remaining two years, she lived in the cold palace and stayed with those concubines who fell out of favor.

The Empress Dowager passed away, and Concubine De was also grounded, and she was not allowed to walk in the palace. No one in the entire harem cared about Gu Jinzhi's life or death.

Until a year ago, Empress Dowager Tan's health gradually deteriorated.

Only at this moment did Gu Jinzhi completely control the situation.

She also moved from the Leng Palace to the Jishan Palace.

Empress Dowager Tan obeyed her advice.

****

The night was as cold as water, Gu Jinzhi sat quietly on the bed.Flipping through the medicine book.

This is the medicine book left by the old man, and the Empress Dowager Tan got it for Gu Jinzhi.

These days, Gu Jinzhi's memory suddenly declined.

Some of the prescriptions that were deeply imprinted in her mind are slowly fading away.

This has been the case for more than half a year.In the previous life, even before he died, Gu Jinzhi never felt that the prescriptions in his memory disappeared.

Medical skills seem to be engraved in her life.

But now, she is only 35 years old.It has come to the point of forgetting.No matter how rapidly her memory declines, if it's not that she is sick, then her lifespan is approaching.

Gu Jinzhi felt startled.

If she couldn't survive, what would Zhu Zhongjun do?For the rest of his life, he was alone again.Thinking of these, Gu Jinzhi's heart was wet.I feel like crying.

She couldn't let go of the children, let alone Zhu Zhongjun.

The children will get married and have their own lives.As for Zhu Zhongjun, without Gu Jinzhi, he would always be alone like in his previous life.

because he said.He's sick, he doesn't love women.Does not love a man, he does not love the world.

He only loves Gu Jinzhi.

Gu Jinzhi was worried about himself, so he found the medicine book left by the old man, read it slowly, and slowly lost what he lost.

"Princess, the empress dowager is awake..." While Gu Jinzhi was flipping through the medicine book, the little maid came in to talk to her.

Gu Jinzhi put down the book.Said: "Got it."

She got up and went to see Empress Dowager Tan.

Empress Dowager Tan was ill for more than half a year.Relying on Gu Jinzhi to keep her alive every day.She still uses the Fugui Ruyi ointment every day, but she is skinny and frightening.

Empress Dowager Tan no longer wants to see people.

Except for the emperor, no outsiders were seen.Even Queen Li, Empress Dowager Tan no longer sees her.Empress Dowager Tan told Gu Jinzhi in private that Empress Li was a nice person, but she was too enthusiastic, which annoyed Empress Dowager Tan.

Gu Jinzhi looked after Empress Dowager Tan like a court lady.

The emperor wanted to take Gu Jinzhi back to prison several times, but the Empress Dowager Tan refused all of them, and it was the Empress Dowager Tan who protected Gu Jinzhi.

"She is a woman, what kind of trouble can she cause? You men are important affairs of state, don't involve women. If she sends a secret report to Luzhou, Ai's family will be punished." Empress Dowager Tan said, "Ai's family will keep her safe. Focus on government affairs, don't always be suspicious of this, suspicious of that..."

For this matter, Empress Dowager Tan raised filial piety many times to suppress the emperor.

The emperor was very angry, but there was nothing he could do.

After all, Empress Dowager Tan has no access to any major military and political secrets, so Gu Jinzhi cannot become a spy.Gu Jinzhi staying in Jishan Palace is actually the same as staying in Imperial Prison.

Thinking of this, the emperor stopped embarrassing Gu Jinzhi.

Gu Jinzhi also lived in Jishan Palace with peace of mind.

Thinking about these past events in her heart, she went to the bedroom of Empress Dowager Tan.

"Queen..." Gu Jin stepped forward and helped Empress Tan, "Are you awake?"

Empress Dowager Tan nodded slightly.

"Go, bring the medicine here." Gu Jinzhi ordered the little maid.

The little maid said yes.

Empress Dowager Tan looked concerned, and asked Gu Jinzhi, "How long can Aijia live?"

"You want to live." Gu Jinzhi said, "How can the time be shortened in this beautiful and prosperous world? Your life is as long as the sky..."

Empress Dowager Tan's expression remained unchanged, and she said calmly: "Shou and Tianqi's nonsense, the Ai family has long since disbelieved. Living like this now is also hard work. But people are like this, hard work has to hold on, and I can't take a breath."

The little maid brought the medicine, and Empress Dowager Tan drank it.

The medicine was very bitter, so Gu Jinzhi got up, went to fetch the candied fruit on the table, and gave it to the Empress Dowager Tan.

Her left leg was inconvenient to move, and she slumped when she walked.

Empress Dowager Tan had always known that Gu Jinzhi was already lame, but today she was suddenly merciful and asked Gu Jinzhi, "Is your foot getting better? Aren't your medical skills very good?"

Gu Jinzhi smiled, turned back, served candied fruit to Empress Dowager Tan, and helped her to rinse her mouth.

After a long while, Gu Jinzhi said: "I was interrupted in the prison at the time. If I can receive treatment as soon as possible, it will be fine. In the early years, my father was crushed and broke his leg, and his bones were broken. Afterwards, he acted as usual. The legs are delayed. Let alone healing in the prison, it is dark and damp, and you can’t even eat enough, how can you heal your legs?"

"It's the King of Luyang who caused you!" Empress Dowager Tan said, "If he wasn't ambitious, how could he let you suffer all these hardships in Beijing as a woman? When His Majesty takes him down, Aijia will have his head brought to you look......"

Gu Jinzhi sneered.

She knew that Queen Mother Tan did not intend to provoke.But she still couldn't hear the rhetoric.

Obviously harming her court and emperor.How come it turned out to be Zhu Zhongjun's fault?

"That's not necessary." Gu Jinzhi said, "If he is defeated and killed, I'm afraid I won't survive."

"You actually have feelings for him." Empress Dowager Tan sighed, "You may not be able to live, you can stay in the palace of Aijia. The ministers in the court, no one knows that you are in Beijing, you still stay in Jishan Palace to take care of Aijia, The emperor will still be filial..."

Whether it is really filial piety, Empress Dowager Tan does not delve into it.

Anyway, the emperor dared not violate filial piety.

Wait until King Luyang dies.What is the value of Gu Jin's introduction to women?It should be possible for her to stay in Jishan Palace to serve like a court lady, right?

Empress Dowager Tan seldom asks about court affairs, so she thinks very naively.

Both Empress Dowager Tan and the emperor felt that Gu Jinzhi, a woman with a lame leg, was already 35 years old and her life was coming to an end.What else can she do?Therefore, they no longer took Gu Jinzhi seriously.

Luzhou didn't seem to pay attention to Gu Jinzhi on purpose.

For the past year and a half, Gu Jinzhi himself never mentioned Luzhou.She seemed like a court lady, next to Empress Dowager Tan.For the sake of Queen Mother Tan everywhere, he cured Queen Mother Tan's illnesses again and again.

Empress Dowager Tan was very ill.I thought that Gu Jinzhi probably forgot about Luzhou.

Luzhou, is it far away?

Empress Dowager Tan has no children, and has never loved a man. She will never understand Gu Jinzhi's feelings for Luzhou and Zhu Zhongjun.

Therefore, she underestimated Gu Jinzhi.

Gu Jinzhi never explained.

She doesn't do useless work.

She is calm and breezy.It also gave Empress Dowager Tan the illusion.

In this harem, it is the territory of the emperor.Gu Jinzhi may lose her head at any time, she needs the protection of Queen Mother Tan, so she never offends Queen Mother Tan.

She would rather live in Jishan Palace than being imprisoned.Although at the beginning, Empress Dowager Tan was moody at first, and she was not good to Gu Jinzhi.

Gu Jinzhi also has tricks to deal with her.

Empress Dowager Tan couldn't do without Gu Jinzhi's medicine.

These days, Empress Dowager Tan has gotten closer to Gu Jinzhi, and even regarded Gu Jinzhi as her confidant.Gu Jinzhi couldn't understand what Queen Mother Tan was thinking.

Maybe, raising a small animal can make you fall in love over time, let alone a human?

After Empress Dowager Tan had a good impression of Gu Jinzhi, she began to feel unworthy for Gu Jinzhi, often saying that the King of Luyang was not good, and that people in Luzhou were heartless and ungrateful.

She didn't deliberately provoke, but really thought so.

"Thank you, Empress Dowager." Gu Jinzhi said, "If it weren't for you, I would have suffered so much. I will always remember your kindness."

Empress Dowager Tan smiled.

After drinking the medicine, Gu Jinzhi felt her pulse again.

Empress Dowager Tan's time is numbered.

Gu Jinzhi also admired Queen Mother Tan's willpower.It seems that since ten years ago, her health has been bad, but she just persisted until today.But man is not a god, no matter how strong willpower is, it can't stop the failure of body organs.

Empress Dowager Tan's life is coming to an end.

If Gu Jinzhi can survive, Zhu Zhongjun needs to go to the capital as soon as possible, or find a new host.

Both of these are beyond Gu Jinzhi's control.The former is Zhu Zhongjun's efforts, while the latter depends on opportunities.Without a chance, everything is in vain.

Empress Dowager Tan took medicine and couldn't sleep again, so Gu Jinzhi massaged for her.

Slowly, she closed her eyes and dozed off.

But the little maid secretly gave Gu Jinzhi a wink and told her to come out and speak.

Gu Jinzhi came out.

"...The Empress Dowager came to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager, and asked if the Empress Dowager had rested." said the little maid.

Although Empress Dowager Tan didn't see Empress Li, Empress Li would come to pay her respects on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year without interruption.

Gu Jinzhi nodded, and came out of the bedroom in person.

She bowed to Empress Li, and then said: "Empress Empress, Empress Dowager has just taken medicine and has fallen asleep..."

For more than half a year, the queen mother has not seen anyone.

Except for keeping Gu Jinzhi by his side.

"Then don't disturb the queen mother." Empress Li said with a smile, "Princess, let's talk."

It has become the norm for Empress Li that Empress Dowager Tan does not see herself.She should be surprised if she sees her someday.Therefore, it was natural for her to start a routine with Gu Jinzhi.

Gu Jin's way is.

The queen just sat down in the main hall and asked Gu Jinzhi to sit aside.

"I heard that the rebels don't know your whereabouts." Empress Li said, "It's been four years, and the rebels in Luzhou have decided that you are dead and are going to marry a new princess."

After Zhu Zhongjun rebelled, the court withdrew his title and no longer called Luyang King.

On the contrary, inside and outside the palace, Gu Jinzhi is still called Princess.

Gu Jinzhi can understand one or two reasons for this.

She would do anything to survive.

Hearing what Queen Li said.Gu Jinzhi's face turned pale immediately.The corners of her lips trembled, she looked at the queen, as if she wanted to confirm the truth of the matter, tears welled up in her eyes.

The queen sighed, and said: "This is true. The rebels have colluded with the governor of Sichuan, Meng Yanjing, and made the governor of Sichuan rebel. In order to form an alliance, the rebels want to marry Meng Yanjing's young daughter, Meng Chucheng."

When Gu Jinzhi heard this, he burst into tears.

She could hardly sit still and fell down from the ground.

The queen quickly winked at the maids on the left and right, asking them to support Gu Jinzhi.

"...I am not worth it for you. You are a young man with white hair, besides, you have three sons. The rebels don't care about the relationship between husband and wife. Your children don't miss their mother either. In order to form an alliance, I will abandon you alone." Queen Li's voice was mournful.

Having said that, she also wiped away tears.

****

Gu Jinzhi supported himself, and half sat on the brocade stick.

Gu Jinzhi, who was originally pale and thin, suppressed the shrugging of his shoulders, crying heartbrokenly, which made Empress Li feel a little bit unbearable.

Queen Li's heart is still a little soft.

The emperor sent her to do this.Empress Li also had some conflicts in her heart.

Seeing Gu Jinzhi crying like this, Empress Li's resistance became even stronger.

She wished she could give away what she knew.Tell Gu Jinzhi.

How many good things do men have?As a woman, is it worth it for you to suffer in Beijing for four years?

This is what Queen Li thought before.Whenever she thinks of Gu Jinzhi, she feels that she is extremely pitiful.Her husband, her sons, who else remembered her?

Now, her husband actually said that she was dead...

Hearing such words, I might as well be dead!

"Don't cry..." Empress Li's voice was also slightly wet, "No matter what the rebels are, you are the sixth aunt of my palace, and we are also relatives. Think about it, how well you have eaten in Beijing these years Bitter, how can you be forgotten by them in a blink of an eye? The rebels have taken a new concubine, what value do you have? I'm afraid you will die."

Gu Jinzhi suddenly raised his head and looked at Queen Li.

Her teary eyes were full of horror.

The shoulders became more and more thin and crumbling.

Queen Li knew that she didn't want to die.

"...What can I do?" Gu Jinzhi cried.

"How about writing a letter to the traitor and asking him to come to Beijing to save you." Queen Li said, "Your Majesty said that if the traitor is willing to surrender now, he can return to Luzhou in the future, and His Majesty will continue to designate him King of Luyang. Reward him for finding his way back.”

"He...he is going to recruit new people, so why do he still miss me?" Gu Jinzhi cried, "If he really cared about him, he should have come to Beijing to save me in the early years. Now, I'm afraid There is a dead end..."

Gu Jinzhi cried so much that he fell to the ground again.

Her body was limp and boneless, and it was even more pitiful when she cried, which made people feel sad.

She couldn't stop crying.

Empress Li had to persuade her.Empress Li thought, after Gu Jinzhi suffered so much in this deep palace, she must have a hope in her heart, that her man could come to save her.

This hope kept her alive.

Now, this hope has become slim, and she must be hopeless.

Such hopelessness made her cry so sadly that Empress Li felt heavy in her heart.

In recent years, Empress Li has not had a good life.Although she is the main palace, she is not beautiful.

She gave birth to two daughters in a row, but no son.

If it wasn't for Luzhou's rebellion, the emperor would have cared nothing for the past four years, and he would have made Concubine Sun Chen's son the crown prince.Concubine Sun Chen gave birth to the eldest prince, who was very fond of the emperor.

Empress Li was worried day and night, for fear that Concubine Sun Chen's mother and son would gain power.

Gu Jinzhi was crying like this, and Empress Li's eyes were wet when she thought of her sad things.Her heart was also heavy, so Gu Jinzhi's tears could arouse her sympathy.

In the end, Empress Li persuaded Gu Jinzhi to write a letter to Zhu Zhongjun.Tell Zhu Zhongjun that she is still alive, beg Zhu Zhongjun to save her, and make peace with the court.

Regardless of Zhu Zhongjun's coming or not, Empress Li advised Gu Jinzhi to give it a try, to have a chance.

Gu Jinzhi didn't write like that.

She copied an ancient poem to Zhu Zhongjun, a poem in which the wife accused her husband of abandoning her.

She wrote word by word with great force: "I walk in my wilderness, hide my wife's aunt, because of the faint marriage. The word is to live with you, you are not my animal, and return to my country. I walk in the wild, and my words are in the Ciao, because of a faint marriage, I will stay here if I say it. If you don’t want me to be an animal, I will return to you; .”

Especially when I wrote the paragraph "Don't think about your old marriage, seek your new special".She burst into tears and wet the letter paper. .

After finishing writing, she gave it to Queen Li.

Queen Li took a deep breath slowly.She read the letter over.Such a sad sentence, coupled with the mottled tears, is moving, but it may not be able to touch a man's heart.

Queen Li sighed lightly.

She received the letter and finally told the emperor what she had done.Done.

Empress Li carried Gu Jinzhi's letter and left from Kunning Palace.She walks more slowly.I don't know why, but I always feel anxious.

After Empress Li left Jishan Palace, Gu Jinzhi wiped away her tears and went in to serve Empress Dowager Tan.

I just cried, my eyes are red, and I look pitiful.

After Empress Dowager Tan woke up, she needed Fugui Ruyi ointment, and Gu Jinzhi helped her load her bong.

When Gu Jinzhi was at the Empress Dowager Tan's residence, her mind was distracted for a moment, her lips could not help but slightly curled up, and a touch of joy flashed from the corners of her lips.This emotion is very fast, come quickly, and receive quickly.

Others didn't notice, but Aoxue, the female officer next to Empress Dowager Tan, noticed it.

Aoxue was just a little maid in the past, because she was smart and intelligent, and took good care of Gu Jinzhi.After Gu Jinzhi arrived at Jishan Palace, he wondered if she was the eyeliner that Zhu Zhongjun had arranged in the palace before, otherwise why would this palace maid take care of her everywhere?

Gu Jinzhi doesn't believe that there are people who are naturally enthusiastic.

With Gu Jinzhi's status, whoever treats her well may be implicated.If she had no background, Aoxue would probably ignore Gu Jinzhi.

After observing for a while, I found that Aoxue was indeed protecting Gu Jinzhi everywhere, and Gu Jinzhi was sure that Aoxue was really one of his own.But Gu Jinzhi didn't dare to ask, fearing that the walls have ears.

After confirming Aoxue's identity, Gu Jinzhi deliberately recommended Aoxue in front of Empress Dowager Tan and made her a female official.

Therefore, in Aoxue's eyes, Gu Jinzhi is the real master.

Aoxue noticed Gu Jinzhi's seemingly sad appearance, but inadvertently showing joy.Aoxue always pays attention to Gu Jinzhi's every word and deed.

Aoxue was a little surprised.

When Empress Li came to look for Gu Jinzhi, Aoxue was beside her.So, Aoxue knew what happened, and she felt sorry for Gu Jinzhi, so she couldn't think of the reason for Gu Jinzhi's happiness.

Maybe it's an illusion?Thinking of this, Aoxue stood aside silently, not daring to look at Gu Jinzhi any longer, for fear of attracting Empress Dowager Tan's attention.

Empress Dowager Tan only saw Gu Jinzhi's eyes were red, she didn't notice Gu Jinzhi's slight complacency just like Aoxue, she just asked Gu Jinzhi: "Okay, did you cry?"

Gu Jinzhi paused slightly.

Her tears welled up again.

She cried, and told Queen Mother Tan what happened just now: "I'm still alive, and he's going to marry again... After more than ten years of husband and wife, he doesn't care about me, whether I suffer or not, I'm going to marry another..."

Empress Dowager Tan frowned slightly after hearing this.

The women in this harem have never longed for men and love.Zhu Zhongjun stopped his wife and remarried, Empress Dowager Tan felt that it was too expected, she didn't think there was anything sad about it.

There are so many miserable women in the world, who has seen an infatuated man?

"From now on, you can serve Ai's family with peace of mind." After hearing Gu Jinzhi's words, Empress Dowager Tan sounded a little annoyed.She didn't like Gu Jinzhi's attitude very much, as if she couldn't do anything without a man.

Seeing that Gu Jinzhi was still crying, Empress Dowager Tan said again: "Don't cry, it's bad luck for the Ai family!"

Gu Jinzhi stopped crying.

She was born thin, and if she cried, she would look very pitiful. The Empress Dowager Tan sighed softly, and said: "The King of Luyang rebelled, and you were going to be hacked into pieces. Your Majesty only spared your life after looking at Aijia! When the rebel army is dispersed in the future, King Luyang will die. What good are you still thinking about him? It would be best for him to marry another one. When the rebel army is suppressed, the Ai family will have an excuse to protect you... ..."

It would be of absolutely no benefit to Gu Jinzhi that King Luyang stopped his wife and remarried.

No longer Princess Luyang.Whether Gu Jinzhi's life can be preserved or not, this is not optimistic.The greatest value of her life now is that one day she can contain King Luyang.

These years, Gu Jinzhi didn't mention it.

Following Queen Mother Tan's wishes, she nodded and said, "Thank you, Empress Dowager. My life depends entirely on Empress Dowager."

Empress Dowager Tan was a little satisfied with this, and smiled slightly. .

Accompanied by Gu Jinzhi, he used Fugui Ruyi Ointment to serve the Empress Dowager Tan.

Empress Tan fell asleep afterwards.

Gu Jinzhi went back to the house.Clean face and change clothes, and put on a clean long jacket.

When she washed her face, the warm towel was pressed against her face, and she didn't put it down for a long time.

The female officer Aoxue followed to serve Gu Jinzhi.

Seeing that Gu Jinzhi was a little strange again, she felt even more confused.

Aoxue felt that if Gu Jinzhi hadn't gone mad with anger, his demeanor was out of order.It's just another secret.

Why on earth is she doing this?

Why is she happy?

Aoxue was sure that Gu Jinzhi was happy.

No matter why Gu Jinzhi behaved differently, Aoxue was not prepared to say it, she defended Gu Jinzhi very much.

After Gu Jinzhi washed his face, he finally put down the towel, with a calm expression on his face.

"Princess, you don't have to be too sad..." Aoxue thought for a while, and comforted Gu Jinzhi. "This servant doesn't understand what's going on outside the palace, but now that the Empress Dowager loves you, you can keep peace for a while."

Gu Jinzhi nodded and said, "We can't control the outside affairs if we want to. You're right, I'm not sad." Then, she smiled.He took Aoxue's hand and said, "It's been more than a year. Thank you for taking care of me!"

Aoxue blushed slightly, and said: "Wangfei's words offend this servant. Taking care of you is a servant's job. If it wasn't for Wangfei's support, I still don't know what a servant is. I dare not thank you."

"Aoxue, you deserve this." Gu Jinzhi said, "No one in this world will help you for no reason. I also decided to recommend you to the Queen Mother because of your intelligence. So, take a look , If you don’t strive for your own strength, what’s the use of my support? Ability is ability, and kindness is kindness.”

Aoxue bowed her head and said yes.

"...Aoxue, although I have been in the palace these few years, there are always people following me when I go in and out, and I dare not inquire about anything." Gu Jinzhi lowered his voice, "I live in the cold palace first, except those who go to the imperial garden. In the medicine garden, you are not allowed to take more than one step; in the Jishan Palace, you are even more careful. I am a doctor, and the queen mother’s phoenix body is getting worse every day. We can’t just rely on the queen mother if we want to survive. Aoxue, are you here? There have been some years in the palace, how about the empress?"

****

After hearing Gu Jinzhi's words, Aoxue's heart moved slightly.

The empress dowager's phoenix body is not very good...

Aoxue's mind was full of these words, like echoes in the valley, unable to stop.

If the queen mother is not well, what will the princess do?

Will His Majesty want to kill the princess?

Aoxue was dumbfounded.

The color of her lips changed a little, and she looked back at Gu Jinzhi.After a long while, Aoxue came back to her senses, lowered her voice and said, "Princess Wang, if the empress dowager's phoenix body is at odds, what will you do?"

Now it is Empress Dowager Tan who protects Gu Jinzhi.

Once Empress Dowager Tan had something to do, what would the princess do? This was Aoxue's first thought.

"Let's take refuge with the queen!" Gu Jin said.

She said we.

Aoxue's eyes were hot and she was on the verge of tears.She doesn't care about her own future, even if the queen mother passes away, Aoxue is just a maid in the past, her life is not in danger, but the princess...

"...Do you think the Empress can be trusted?" Seeing Aoxue's silence, Gu Jinzhi asked again, "She has no son, and I used to be known as the master of Xinglin before, and I used the birth of a prince as a bait to be able to marry her." To catch her?"

Aoxue's eyes trembled a little.

In this way, is it too risky?If you are eager for quick success, the loss outweighs the gain.

Aoxue didn't dare to pour cold water on her.Now Princess Luyang needs hope the most, Aoxue can only say something to encourage her.

After a moment of silence, Aoxue calmed down, and said: "Your Majesty already has five princes, but none of them are descendants of the empress. Another one was added last month, a total of six princes. Concubine, if you want to use this as a If you go to serve the Empress, you will definitely get what you want.”

Aoxue thinks that the queen must really want to have a son.

But how to do it requires skill.To ask hastily would only annoy the queen.

Aoxue felt uneasy.She always felt that Princess Luyang took another risky move.

"Empress, how is she?" Gu Jinzhi asked again.

Aoxue spent quite a long time in the palace.She entered the palace at the age of 12 and has been doing some chores in the Jishan Palace. It has been almost nine years.Unlike Gu Jinzhi, her whereabouts are being watched, so she must know some gossip.

For example, how about the queen's character, those maids and servants dare not say it openly, they will definitely mutter in private.

Where there are people, there is gossip.

"When the Empress Dowager was alive, she loved the Empress the most." Aoxue whispered, "My servant heard people say that the Empress Dowager has praised the Empress many times for being virtuous and gentle, and her personality is similar to that of your concubine..."

Gu Jinzhi froze for a moment.

She thought that the empress dowager had passed away four years ago.

At that time, she was still in prison and had no chance to kowtow to the Empress Dowager.

Now, although he is no longer in prison, his movements are restricted, and he has not been able to offer incense to the Empress Dowager.Thinking of the empress dowager's love and trust for him when he was still alive, Gu Jinzhi's eyes were a little bitter.

The Empress Dowager has shown too much favor to Gu Jinzhi.She is Gu Jinzhi's mother-in-law, but she has the same mother and daughter as Gu Jinzhi.Thinking of the empress dowager's love for him, and thinking that he hadn't devoted himself to being filial for a day, Gu Jinzhi's heart shrank into a ball.

After thinking about it, if the Empress Dowager is still alive, seeing Zhu Zhongjun's actions today, knowing that Gu Jinzhi and Zhu Zhongjun have already planned to plot rebellion, and even thinking that they might use the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager will probably be disheartened up.

It's good to leave, less sadness and disappointment, and less suffering.

For a moment, Gu Jin's heart turned a thousand times, and he sighed softly.

"Princess..." Aoxue thought she had said something wrong, and her tone became uneasy.

Gu Jinzhi came back to his senses, smiled and said, "I'm fine. It's just that according to what you said, the queen is trustworthy."

Aoxue didn't answer, nor did she deny it.

People's hearts are unpredictable.

Aoxue has never served in Kunning Palace, so she doesn't know the queen's true nature.In this harem, who wouldn't pretend to be virtuous?But what kind of face is it in private, you have to get close to it in person to know.

As for Aoxue, she doesn't have the qualifications to be close to the queen.

Therefore, Aoxue didn't know if Queen Li had to entrust her to her.

"...Aoxue, if I can gain the queen's trust, I will not forget you." Gu Jinzhi said again.

Aoxue smiled bitterly, and said: "If you can keep yourself, Aoxue will have nothing to worry about!"

Gu Jinzhi nodded and said with a smile: "You treat me well, I will always remember it in my heart."

In the following time, Gu Jinzhi's mood improved a lot.

In the past, before Aoxue showed up, there was a maid named Shui Lan in Jishan Palace, who was not very kind to Gu Jinzhi.But in private, he always helps Gu Jinzhi.She was one of Zhu Zhongjun's eyeliners in Beijing, and she was not eradicated.

She probably passed the news of Gu Jinzhi to Zhu Zhongjun.

But two months ago, Shui Lan suddenly disappeared.

At that time, Gu Jinzhi also panicked.

Zhu Zhongjun outside must also be in a hurry.

He was so careful, he didn't dare to let Shui Lan pass a word to Gu Jinzhi, just to be vigilant and consider for Gu Jinzhi, for fear of making a mistake, and since then there has been no news of Gu Jinzhi.
