Mad Queen

Chapter 378
The palace, the library.

Under the candlelight, Eunuch Gui aimed at the emperor.

He sat holding the book, but he didn't turn a page for a long time.

Obviously, the emperor's mind is not in the book.

really--

"boom!"

He slammed the book down.

"Eunuch Gui!"

Eunuch Gui stepped out quickly: "The old slave is here!"

"Concubine Li Gui...how is it?!"

"Going back to the emperor, picking chrysanthemums came to report at night, saying that the imperial concubine has not eaten or drank for two days..."

Eunuch Gui hesitated to speak, and finally shut up cautiously.

The emperor frowned: "Say anything!"

"The old slave heard that Concubine Li Gui has become haggard in just two days... Your Majesty, are you going to take a look?"

"Look at what?!"

The emperor's voice was obviously angry.

"I'm gone, she must be pestering me, crying and making noise, wanting me to avenge Li Miaoshan!! But what else can I do? Those guards, I have already severely punished..."

Thinking of the guards, the emperor was not angry at all.

"Gui Gonggong, you said that my imperial city should be heavily guarded, but as a gate, the gate can be opened as soon as it is opened!! This... What do you take my imperial decree for? Are you ignoring it?!"

Eunuch Gui quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "The emperor calm down, this matter is definitely not what the emperor thinks!"

"How to say?!"

"Your Majesty, who is Concubine Li Gui? She is your favorite concubine, Your Majesty. If she wants to open the city gate, who would dare to refuse? If she does not, then Concubine Li Gui will definitely take revenge in the future... So, after considering this, they only We can open the city gate!"

"So, it's my fault!! Blame me for pampering her too much?!"

Eunuch Gui felt that he had made a mistake, and immediately slapped himself: "Your Majesty, it was the old slave who said it wrong... What the old slave meant was..."

"Forget it, don't say it!"

The emperor waved his hands violently, his eyes flickering.

"I know that some things are beyond my control..."

He sighed deeply and leaned back in his chair, not knowing what he was thinking.

Eunuch Gui didn't dare to speak any more, so he could only kneel there.

After a while, the emperor slowly raised his head: "Let's go, let's go see Concubine Li Gui...just the two of us, don't bring others with you, so as not to show off!"

"Yes!"

Eunuch Gui got up quickly and ordered someone to send a message to make arrangements, while he himself carried a lantern and led the way to the imperial concubine hall with the emperor.

In the imperial concubine's hall, without the light of the past, it looked dark, with only a few sporadic candles dancing, making it look gloomy and gloomy.

The emperor frowned slightly: "What's going on?? Why didn't even the candles light up?!"

"...Caiju told this old slave yesterday that the imperial concubine might have been frightened, and she was afraid of light, wind, and noise... what you said, old slave and the emperor..."

Only then did the emperor think of it, and he sighed silently: "Yes, I remembered... At that time, I asked the imperial doctor to treat her!"

"Yes! Your Majesty, be careful!"

Eunuch Gui walked forward respectfully and led the emperor into the palace.

The windows of the outer hall were closed tightly, covered with black curtains, blocking the moonlight outside, making the hall even more dull and silent.

Eunuch Gui trembled inexplicably, "Where did this person... go?"

How could this ghostly place look like a place where people lived? !
The emperor's footsteps were also a little frightened: "Gui Gonggong, didn't you send someone to pass the message?"

"Yeah! Why isn't there even a kneeling person here?!"

Eunuch Gui muttered and lit some candles in the hall, only then did he feel a little more at ease.

"Your Majesty, I guess they are all in the inner hall, why don't you wait here, and this old slave will go and have a look first?"
