Queen is fearless

Chapter 36

"Report to the emperor, the people from the respect room are here, do you want to flip the sign?" Near evening, when Zhou Jing was still dealing with court affairs in the imperial study, Yuan Bao came in from the outside and reported to him.

Raising his head, Zhou Jing gave an order, and saw the palace servant in the respect room kneeling in front of him with a tray in his hand.

On the tray were the signboards of various palaces. Zhou Jing's eyes turned around on it, and finally, he put Dongfei's signboard on the tray.

Soon, the news that the emperor was going to Yichun Palace reached the ears of all the concubines. For a while, everyone was both envious and jealous.

Ever since the empress had been ill, the emperor has often stayed in Fengyang Palace, and finally turned over the sign, but it belonged to Concubine Dong.

Jealousy is jealousy. Concubine Dong has been by the emperor's side since she was a second rank, when the emperor was still a prince. This friendship is incomparable to others.

Therefore, those concubines who were expecting the emperor to overturn their brand, only dared to mutter a few words in private.

When Gu Jinzhi got the news, Gu Fangshi had already left the palace.

"I understand." After ordering, Gu Jinzhi's face showed no emotion.

She had already guessed that sooner or later the emperor would re-enter the harem.

"Your Majesty, don't be sad..." Qingluan looked at her master's face, unable to guess her thoughts at all.

She reckoned that the master would not be in a good mood, after all, during this time, the emperor stayed in Fengyang Palace.

"I'm fine, I've ordered someone to present a meal. Taking advantage of the cool weather in the evening, let's take a walk around the nearby lotus pond."

Looking at Qingluan, Gu Jinzhi smiled and said, the emperor is a scumbag, how could she be sad because of a scumbag?
If it weren't for the fact that her position with the Gu family is not stable enough, she would not be bothered to act with the emperor.

Seeing the smile on the master's face, Qingluan breathed a sigh of relief, and ordered someone to pass the meal.

After dinner, she left Fengyang Palace with Gu Jinzhi and went to the nearby lotus pond.

The flowering period of the lotus is from June to September, and it will bloom just right, because it is in the evening, and the lotus pond is very cool. The only downside is that there are more mosquitoes.

A sachet was worn on Gu Jinzhi's body, and the spices inside were formulated from Angelica dahurica, which can repel mosquitoes.

"Tomorrow morning, come here to pick a few lotus flowers and put them in a vase to enjoy." After walking around the lotus pond, Gu Jinzhi ordered, and Qingluan quickly responded and continued walking with her.

"woo woo woo woo……"

If there is a faint crying sound, it is July now, although the sky is still bright, it still makes people feel a little panicked.

"Your Majesty, shall we go back?" Qingluan looked around and couldn't help shivering.

Not only her, but the rest of the people also had terrified expressions.

"What are you afraid of? In broad daylight, can there be ghosts?" Gu Jinzhi smiled, but she wasn't afraid at all.

After carefully discerning the direction, Gu Jinzhi raised his foot and walked. Qingluan and others wanted to stop her, but they all knew her temper, so they had to follow behind.

The crying sound became more and more obvious, and the sound became more and more permeating. With a trembling voice, Qingluan whispered, "Ma'am, shall we go back?"

Gu Jinzhi didn't seem to hear, she continued walking, and stopped in front of a rockery.

Crying, just behind this rockery...

"Ma'am." Seeing that Gu Jinzhi was about to pass, Qingluan quickly reached out and grabbed her sleeve.

She turned her head, looked at Qingluan, pulled out her sleeves, and continued to walk forward.

Finally, I saw the person behind the rockery, a little palace lady, who was sitting on the ground crying with her knees hugged.

"Which palace are you from?" Slowing down her voice, Gu Jinzhi asked, the appearance of the little maid made her see her past self.

When she first joined the industry, because she rejected certain rules, she had trouble running the game and was often bullied.

But in front of people, she didn't dare to show anything, so she could only hide and cry behind her back.

In order not to be discovered, she found a remote place and sat there, hugging her knees and sobbing.

Hearing the sound, the little palace maid hurriedly raised her head, and seeing Gu Jinzhi, she was so frightened that she quickly knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing.

She didn't know Gu Jinzhi, but looking at her attire, she knew that she was definitely not an ordinary master.

"Don't be afraid." The low voice came again, and the little maid fell on the ground, trembling.

"Empress?" Qingluan stood behind Gu Jin, seeing that it was a little palace maid, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"It's late at night, what are you doing here?" She said a little bluntly, but she was frightened just now.

"Why are you so fierce?" Gu Jinzhi glared at Qingluan seeing the little maid trembling even more.

Qingluan also knew that she was a bit fierce, so she took the initiative to come to the little maid and helped her up from the ground, "Okay, don't be afraid, no one will do anything to you."

The little maid stood up, lowered her head, sobbing from time to time.

"Why are you crying here? Where are you from the palace?" Gu Jinzhi sized her up. She was not tall, a head shorter than Qingluan, and she seemed to be young, so she must have been in the palace not long.

"The Empress asked you something, don't be afraid, the answer is yes." Qingluan was beside her, and after helping her up, she realized how petite she was.

When she heard that it was the empress, the little maid suddenly raised her head, then realized that she couldn't look directly at the master, and lowered her head again.

Seeing her like this, Qingluan also lowered her voice, and asked her patiently again, the little maid was struggling, as if she didn't know whether she should say it or not.

"What's the matter, just say it, I will make the decision for you." Now that you have met, if you can really help, then do it.

At that time, it was thanks to someone to help her.

In one's life, no one can be sure whether one day you will encounter difficulties, so if you have the opportunity to help others, and within the scope of your ability, it's okay to help.

It's a pity that the era she originally lived in was an era that people can't trust. You can never be sure whether the old man who fell on the side of the road really needs help or has another purpose.

Turning his mind back, Gu Jinzhi looked at the little maid and saw her take a small step forward, as if she had made up her mind.

"Please... please let the slaves go out of the palace!" Kneeling on the ground, the little maid said her request.

"Your maidservant doesn't mean that, your maidservant... your maidservant means... your maidservant has received the news that grandma is seriously ill and is about to die. This maidservant was raised by her grandma. I beg your mother to let this maidservant leave the palace and die for grandma!"

Gathering up her courage, the little palace lady spoke out her request in one go, probably because she mentioned her relatives, she burst into tears again.

"How long have you been in the palace?" A gentle tone came, Gu Jinzhi looked at Qingluan, and motioned for her to send someone to investigate.

"Slave servant... Slave servant has just entered the palace for four months." The little maid stopped crying and spoke timidly.

"I already know what you said. In this way, you go back to pack your things and go to the gate of the palace tomorrow morning. I will order you to let you out of the palace."
