Ten Miles of Red Makeup

Chapter 108
The light flickered faintly, disturbing her mind.

The next day, with great fanfare, everyone was busy preparing for the election of the concubine, and the general election was held two days later.When the news reached Shangyang Palace, Gu Qingcheng was slightly astonished.Instead, he smiled lightly, choosing a concubine?Then choose.

Only a slight sound was heard, Ning Yu had already come to the front, Gu Qingcheng was sitting in front of the embroidery table, the embroidery needles in his hands were threading back and forth among the fine silk, and he was not disturbed by Ning Yu's arrival at all .

"You step back first." Ning Yu's powerful voice echoed in the already empty hall, especially clear.There was only a slight sound of closing the door, and everyone had already retreated.

"Qing'er." With a soft call, Gu Qingcheng slowly raised his head, paused the embroidery in his hand, and looked at Ning Yu.

He gently held her in his arms and asked, "Do you mind?"

He didn't have an answer to this question, and the Queen Mother's words were still ringing in his ears.

Gu Qingcheng gently opened Ning Yu's arms, then smiled softly and said, "What do I care about?"

There was no unnecessary expression on her face, nor the expression Ning Yu imagined. He knew that she would not make a scene, but at least giving him an unhappy expression would give him some comfort in his heart.

"The matter of choosing a concubine." Ning Yu replied, looking at Gu Qingcheng fixedly, not letting go of every subtle expression on her face.

Gu Qingcheng was uncomfortable being looked at by Ning Yu, so he gently moved his eyes away, looked at the rusted brocade picture in front of him, and said quietly: "The Empress Dowager raised it for the sake of the heirs of the Qing Dynasty. Angry?" Her words were generous and decent, but what Ning Yu wanted was not generous and decent words, what she wanted was Gu Qingcheng's eyes that complained about him, telling him that he didn't like him being surrounded by more women.

There was a slight pain in his heart, maybe Ning Yu had expected Gu Qingcheng's answer a long time ago, he did not give up on humiliating himself, and once again made Gu Qingcheng say the words he was least willing to hear.

Turning back to Qingcheng's body so that she was looking into his eyes, Ning Yu said: "Why don't you show me one more emotion, you know that what I ask is not the answer you said." His eyes, It looked a little sad, and the faint tone revealed disappointment.

"What answer do you want? Trouble? Or what? Do you know behind me, my every move, and my family who are walking on thin ice for me now, and I will implicate them at any time." Her eyes were rare and clear. "Also, since you are the emperor, it is destined that there will not be only one woman by your side. Moreover, from the beginning, when you were in the Northern Qi Dynasty, you have already had the noble concubine Zhaoyi by your side. As the emperor, your woman , will only increase and will not decrease, the world you have painstakingly come to, do you want to let it have no successors?"

Ning Yu was at a loss for words and couldn't speak. He clearly knew that what Gu Qingcheng said was just a high-sounding excuse, and it was never judged because he was Ning Yu and she was Gu Qingcheng.

In the final analysis, the deepest reason is that he never had the chance to stir up ripples in Gu Qingcheng's heart.

"I just came from the Empress Dowager's Cheng'an Palace." He did go directly to the Cheng'an Palace of the Empress Dowager Xiaoxian just now, and he went to ask why such a decree would be known to everyone without his knowledge .

But the answer of the Empress Dowager Xiaoxian was, "You are the emperor, and your side will not be destined for only one woman." Then she said the last sentence, if he heard this sentence from Gu Qingcheng, then It proved that Gu Qingcheng never had her in his heart.Because, a woman who loves herself, no matter how generous and decent she is, her heart will still be sad because she shares a man with other women. If her expression is dignified and generous, then there is no doubt that there is no such person in her heart. The presence.

Now, the affection he sees is the dignified and decent Gu Qingcheng.

The bottom of his heart sank slightly, the situation he was eagerly hoping for did not happen after all.

Gently letting go of the embracing hands, Ning Yu said in a deep voice: "Can you give me one more stingy look."

Gu Qingcheng turned his head and looked at Ning Yu faintly. His expression was full of lonely sadness, covering his whole body, making people feel distressed.

On the sandalwood table, the faint smell of incense is heavy and oppressive, making people feel suffocated in the chest.

For some reason, there was a sudden throbbing pain in her heart, as if it came from a long time ago, so long ago, she couldn't remember exactly when it was.

A ray of sadness suddenly rose from the bottom of my heart, and I wanted to say something, but when I opened my mouth, I just sighed coldly.

"That's all." He got up without a trace of tenderness, and slowly withdrew his body from Gu Qingcheng's side, looking at Kong Luoluo's position, his receding figure, and the empty heart on his chest.Unconsciously, she clenched her hand tightly, but unexpectedly, the embroidery needle was still in her hand, and a drop of blood spilled from it, dripping onto the smooth embroidery, blurring a strange red color.

Gu Qingcheng got up staggeringly, walked to the rouge box, pushed open the cabinet, took out the light porcelain bottle, put a black pill everywhere, opened her mouth, and swallowed it.

The afternoon sun was light, scattered around the palace, making this magnificent building, standing between the sky and the earth, even more brilliant.

The day of the general election has come in a blink of an eye. The sky is bright and clear, and the sun is exceptionally warm. Gu Qingcheng dressed appropriately, and slowly left from Shangyang Palace. When he arrived at Shanglin Garden, a large group of people had already gathered However, the scene in front of him can be said to be quite vast. With Hong'er's support, Gu Qingcheng slowly got off the sedan chair and saluted respectfully to the Empress Dowager Xiaoxian who had arrived.

The Empress Dowager Xiaoxian nodded her head to indicate that Gu Qingcheng was sitting aside, the seat next to her was still empty, and Ning Yu hadn't arrived yet, Gu Qingcheng sat quietly on the side, looking around, there were many beautiful women participating in the election, with various postures, seriously All beauties.

The time is approaching, but Ning Yu has not yet arrived. The Empress Dowager Xiaoxian has sent Seqin, who is close to her, to urge her twice, but Ning Yu still hasn't appeared, and this draft, the most important one How can you be absent?
Empress Dowager Xiaoxian's complexion became even worse. She called Seqin over and said something in Seqin's ear. Then came a thin voice: "The emperor is here."

The protagonist has already appeared on the stage, so the next thing is going on step by step.

Ning Yu sat up straight, and the people below bowed respectfully to the three seated, and the draft began.
