Ten Miles of Red Makeup

Chapter 119
The palace lanterns fluttered in the cold night, and the cold wind gradually picked up. I don't know if my cold heart can find a warm harbor in such a cold night.

Ning Yu just sat quietly on the sidelines, he didn't force her to let him say those words, because he knew better than anyone else, what he couldn't remember was more than just those.

The teacup was gently dropped, the covered heat had been sealed in the cup, the rim of the cup was glowing with cool dark green, the dripping tea hit Gu Qingcheng's heart.

She raised her hand and wiped away the teacup on the table. The crisp sound resounded in the silent hall. Under her eyes, struggles gradually began to rise, and she suddenly lost control. Ning Yu held her excited arms and hugged her gently. In his arms, he comforted: "I know you can't accept it, but please believe me, at this moment, I don't intend to hurt you."

Lying in Ning Yu's arms, the familiar smell hit her. She was no longer resisting, but she had no reason to accept it.

This night, the last indulgence, let it end like this. Maybe her heart will wake up with other emotions, but she knows that there are some things that she should do as soon as possible. This time, she does not regret it.

The lights drifted away, and the shadows on the ground overlapped, like a person.After Gu Qingcheng calmed down the emotions in her heart, she gently broke out of Ning Yu's arms, and she said quietly: "I want to ask Master Qingmu to enter the palace." Before Ning Yu could answer, Gu Qingcheng turned outside and said: " Hong'er."

Hong'er, who was guarding outside the hall, replied respectfully, "Your Majesty."

"I want to see Lord Aoki." The voice inside was firm.

Hong'er hesitated, and glanced at the brightly lit inner courtyard of the palace, it was already getting late, why?She settled her heart and asked, "Now? Your Majesty?"

Gu Qingcheng replied: "Now!" in a tone that could not be refused.The outside was quiet, and Hong'er left in a hurry.

Ning Yu was puzzled, and looked at Gu Qingcheng, his eyes beckoning her to tell him why?After all, it was already so late at this moment, Aoki had already left the palace.

"When he comes, you will know. When the time comes, what to do is up to you." Gu Qingcheng just said quietly, her tone was as transparent as the innocent moonlight, without any impurities.

It still takes some time from the imperial palace to Qingmu's mansion. When Qingmu came under the moonlight and wrapped in fox fur, he was already close to Zi. He bowed to Ning Yu and Gu Qingcheng and said, "It's so late. What are you looking for?"

Gu Qingcheng closed her eyes deeply, leaned over, and picked up the fragments of teacups that were broken on the ground. She had just ordered people not to clean them up, because of the arrival of Aoki.

"My lord, the legendary medical fairy, must know some medicines. I don't know, my lord, do you know what is mixed in this cup?" Gu Qingcheng held the fragments of the teacup, calmly.

Aoki took the fragments from Gu Qingcheng's hand, sniffed them with his nose, and his face changed suddenly. Before he could speak, Gu Qingcheng said: "Master Aoki, do you know? Some people mix these things into my medicine every day. How about taking it daily? It didn’t stop at all, I think these are medicines for health care, so every time I add some to the tea the emperor drinks.”

Aoki did not expect that the antidote he gave Gu Qingcheng to lovesickness, she would actually get into Ning Yu's drinking tea, and he knew that those medicines were chronic poisons prepared by him, and there was no cure in this world.Back then, with the determination to make Gu Qingcheng die, he added human blood as a medicine for reference. As soon as he stopped taking the medicine, he would immediately feel unwell. He had to rely on the medicines he gave, but those medicines would also slowly invade The five internal organs cannot be cured at all.

"You..." Aoki was at a loss for words, and for a moment, the expression on his face became extremely ugly, but he couldn't speak.Turning the subject, she stared at Gu Qingcheng and asked, "How do you know, Queen?"

Gu Qingcheng seemingly casually said: "That day when the imperial physician came to ask for pulse, he smelled the tea that the emperor had drunk, and felt something was wrong, so he took it back and checked it, so I was able to know, but After all, those imperial physicians in the imperial hospital have lived in the palace for a long time, and they are not as experienced as Master Aoki, so I sent someone to invite Master Aoki to enter the palace late at night."

Aoki was speechless to answer, Ning Yu said: "What kind of poison is it, someone can poison Qing'er on something close to you?"

Of course Ning Yu would not know, this was just a scene played by Gu Qingcheng, a scene where Aoki saved her life, because she knew that Aoki would not joke about Ning Yu's life, and if Ning Yu was saved, she would naturally Can't die.

Aoki turned to smile and said: "The Empress is seriously serious, this is just a rare medicinal herb added, how could it be the poison that poisoned the Empress? Ning Yu, don't worry, I will not be wrong."

A smile flashed across Gu Qingcheng's eyes, and he said: "Naturally, I believe what Master Qingmu said, how could the divine doctor's hand be broken by mistake, so I and the emperor can take it with confidence, and there will be no worries about the future."

Aoki bowed and withdrew, Gu Qingcheng looked at Aoki's far away back, feeling relieved, at least she would not have any worries about her life for the time being.

Whoever wants to hurt her desperately will sacrifice his life to protect her.

After Aoki left, Ning Yu also said: "I have something to do tomorrow, and I will stay in Zhaoyang Palace tonight." As if explaining, Gu Qingcheng bowed his head lightly, and Ning Yu slowly walked out of the gate of Shangyang Palace.

The night was as cool as water, and Ning Yu's figure gradually disappeared in the courtyard. In the empty courtyard, a few wintersweet plants bloomed lonely.

After going to the power of the Sixth Palace, no one stepped into Gu Qingcheng’s Shangyang Palace. It’s not disrespectful. It’s just because the oracle is uneasy. After that, they should respect the one in the Yang Palace as the queen.

Gu Qingcheng stopped using the medicine given by Aoki, and used rice paper to record the fragments in her mind every day. Ning Yu hadn't come for several days. She was like this, alone. It's coming, there are always celebrations in the palace at this time of the year, and it can be considered very lively.

Compared with the hustle and bustle outside, Shangyang Palace seemed unusually cold. The maids waited on them carefully every day. There was Hong'er who was in charge of planning everything for Gu Qingcheng. Even though Ning Yu hadn't visited Shangyang Palace in January, Shangyang The days in the palace are still the same as before.

She also lessened the number of times she went to Cheng'an Palace to pay her respects, and gradually she did not go there very often. The Empress Dowager Xiaoxian did not say anything, as if she had tacitly agreed.

When Hong'er came in, Gu Qingcheng tidied up the rice paper on the case and said, "Is there something wrong?"

Hong'er respectfully replied: "The New Year is coming, the Ministry of Internal Affairs distributed some cloth to each palace, and the servants brought them to the empress to see which cloth to use for a new dress."

Adding new clothes, Gu Qingcheng smiled, how can the stumps of this body be decorated with new clothes?That's all, let's make a celebration, "Look around casually, just do it yourself."

"Yes." Hong'er took the order to go down, and after a while, another little palace lady came to report, "Your Majesty, Mrs. Yan Gui is asking to see you."

Yan Guiren?Just as Gu Qingcheng was wondering, a lavender beauty appeared in the hall. She bowed her head to greet Gu Qingcheng: "See empress."

It turned out to be her, Gu Qingcheng said: "Get up." Now that she has lost the power of the Sixth Palace under the suppression of the Empress Dowager Xiaoxian, she has long been in name only, and she is the first person to step into the Shangyang Palace in this month.
