Chapter 171 Confrontation
Gu Mingxuan didn't expect that the Queen Mother would be so reckless. How did he provoke her?
what to do?Do you really want to be beaten?That way, even if you don't die, you will lose all face!Not only her own face, but also that of the Gu family and Feng Qingli!

Gu Mingxuan cannot accept such consequences!

But now, she seems to have no choice!

Although the palace people of Compassionate Ning Palace knew that the Empress Dowager hated Gu Mingxuan, they did not expect that the Empress Dowager would issue such an order, so most of them were stunned for a while—this is not as simple as beating a maid or a female official. If Gu Mingxuan didn't save any face, if Gu Mingxuan went back today and committed suicide in shame, wouldn't they be buried with Gu Mingxuan?

"Empress Dowager, this is inappropriate." Even the maid who served beside the Empress Dowager thought it was inappropriate at this moment because she was only thinking about the Empress Dowager.

The queen mother was unmoved.

Gu Mingxuan was dragged down.

At this moment, within the Compassionate Ning Palace, the eunuch's singing suddenly sounded.

"His Royal Highness King Yong is here."

While the queen mother was stunned, she felt a little guilty. She never liked her grandson. It happened to break ground on his head...

However, in an instant, the queen mother straightened up again!

She is the empress dowager, his elder, not to mention that Gu Mingxuan is not her princess now, but she is already his princess, can't she teach her a lesson?
So the Queen Mother raised her head and said, "Let him in."

When Gu Mingxuan heard that Feng Qingli was coming, her heart immediately relaxed and she smiled.

She believed that when Feng Qingli came, no one would touch her again, so at this moment, she was no longer in a hurry or flustered, and just turned her head to look at where she came from—Feng Qingli was striding towards her , because it happened that he was behind the light, when Gu Mingxuan looked over, he saw a bright light, but couldn't see the expression on his face clearly.

Although she couldn't see clearly, Gu Mingxuan still looked at Feng Qingli with a smile.

He strode forward, stretched his feet, and kicked away the two palace maids who were pulling Gu Mingxuan's arms away. Thinking of Gu Mingxuan, she asked softly, "Is it okay?"

Gu Mingxuan motioned him to let him go. After all, this was in the Palace of Compassion and Ning. There was an old godly woman in the Palace of Compassion and Ning who was full of malice towards them. Gu Mingxuan didn't want to give her any excuses. Feng Qingli understood what she meant and immediately let her go. open her.

After Gu Mingxuan saluted Feng Qingli, she still looked at him with a smile and said, "I'm fine, cousin Qingli came in time."

It was very straightforward, and I didn't worry about offending the Queen Mother because of it.

Anyway, even if she tried to please her, the Queen Mother wouldn't like her because of it, would she?
That being the case, why bother to please flattery.

Feng Qingli breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, but the violent emotions in her heart did not ease in the slightest.

Queen Mother!

A cold light flashed in his eyes, Gu Mingxuan saw it, and hurriedly whispered: "Cousin Qingli, she is the Queen Mother!"

No matter how angry she was, it was also the queen mother. The emperor was very angry because of the queen mother's confusion, but the emperor couldn't do anything to the queen mother, let alone Feng Qingli?
If Feng Qingli really contradicts the Queen Mother, there will be thousands of reasons at that time, all of which will become unreasonable. If the big hat of "unfilial" is buckled, Feng Qingli will never want to stand up in this life .

Feng Qingli felt Gu Mingxuan's concern and worry, and her heart warmed slightly. After giving Gu Mingxuan a no-worry look, she coldly glanced at the palace servants of the Compassionate Ning Palace, and then said to Gu Mingxuan, "Come on, come in with me. .”

After a little hesitation, Gu Mingxuan chose to trust Feng Qingli. Although going in like this would be slapping the Queen Mother in the face, which might make the Queen Mother even more furious, but she believed that Feng Qingli would definitely find a way.

This is not blind trust, but a trust that is gradually cultivated through experience after experience, which is firm and firm.

Feng Qingli saw Gu Mingxuan's appearance, a smile flashed in her eyes, and then, with him in front and Gu Mingxuan behind, she entered the hall.

At this moment, the Queen Mother was trembling with anger——Feng Qingli dared to kick the servants in her palace so that they couldn't stand up?
The queen mother felt that Feng Qingli did not kick the two palace servants, but herself!
She feels that her stomach hurts no matter what!

Of course, the face hurts more!

When Feng Qingli entered the palace, before bowing down, the queen mother reprimanded her: "Xiao Jiu, if you are dissatisfied with Ai's family, just talk about it, why bother to vent your anger on the palace servants of Ai's family!"

Gu Mingxuan really felt that the Queen Mother was stupid to cry!

But just as this thought flashed through her mind, she heard the queen mother pointing the finger at her, and scolded: "Gu Mingxuan, who allowed you to come in? Why, you dare to disobey the Ai family's orders?"

Gu Mingxuan didn't say a word, she trusted Feng Qingli, such a situation was naturally left to Feng Qingli to deal with.

Feng Qingli didn't take the empress dowager's scolding seriously, he bowed down with a smile, and said hello to the empress dowager: "Grandson has met the emperor's grandmother, and the emperor's grandmother is in good health."

Gu Mingxuan also followed to see the ceremony. Afterwards, Feng Qingli stood up without waiting for the queen mother to call out. Standing up by herself was not counted. He also tugged Gu Mingxuan's sleeve to make her stand up too, and then said to the queen mother: : "Grandmother, my grandson heard that Xuan'er made you angry, so I hurried over here to see what was going on. If she really did something wrong, my grandson must let the Marquis of Shun'an Teach her well, lest she annoy you."

Feng Qingli ignored the empress dowager's scolding words completely. Anyway, Feng Qingli did what she wanted. After saying this, he turned to Gu Mingxuan without waiting for the empress dowager to answer, "Xuan'er, whether you are It's not that I did something wrong, since the imperial grandmother is angry, it's all your fault, hurry up and apologize to the imperial grandmother, the imperial grandmother is the most magnanimous, and she will definitely not care about you."

Gu Mingxuan suppressed her smile, and she bowed obediently to the Empress Dowager and said: "My daughter is dull, if there is something wrong, please forgive me, Empress Dowager."

Queen Mother: "..." You two have finished talking, and let Aijia say something!
She raised her eyebrows and trembled with anger.

Feng Qingli nodded to Gu Mingxuan in satisfaction, then turned to look at the Queen Mother, and said, "Grandmother, look, although Xuan'er is a bit stupid, she is quite obedient. Don't be angry, come on, Xuan'er will follow you." I'm going to sit here, it's really tiring to stand."

Gu Mingxuan: Cousin Qingli, are you coaxing the Queen Mother like a child or a fool?Also, being so self-conscious... Forget it, Gu Mingxuan is powerless to say anything about this point, anyway, when Feng Qingli was in Tsinghua Garden, she also regarded herself as the master from the beginning to the end.

However, Gu Mingxuan took a look and found that the emperor's concubine was no longer there. Also, if such a bad thing happened to her, she had to avoid it.

Empress Dowager: "..." Is that how you treat Aijia perfunctorily?Even if you apologize, you have to be sincere, right?

How could she let Gu Mingxuan go so easily? If so, the daughters of the two courtiers can't be cured. Do you want to lose face as the empress dowager?

The Queen Mother took a deep breath, and said with a sneer, "Aijia doesn't want her to apologize, Xiao Jiu, don't you know what she did to immoral things? Aijia punished him for the sake of Xiaojiu!"

"What's wrong with public morals?" Feng Qingli looked very confused, looked at the Queen Mother, then at Gu Mingxuan, then at the Queen Mother, with an innocent look on her face, and said in disbelief: "No, Xuan'er So well-behaved, anyway, I don’t believe it.”

The Empress Dowager said again what she had said to Gu Mingxuan. After that, the Empress Dowager looked at Feng Qingli and said, "Xiao Jiu, you heard that, isn't she being immoral?"

Feng Qingli looked at the queen mother, then at Gu Mingxuan, and asked Gu Mingxuan: "Xuan'er, have you done such a thing?"

Gu Mingxuan couldn't help but want to laugh, no one would admit it if she asked such a question, and she's not a fool, so Gu Mingxuan said sternly: "My daughter thinks she behaves uprightly, and never dares to have any inappropriate behavior with foreign men. the behavior of."

Feng Qingli nodded, and said in agreement: "I think so too."

Then Feng Qingli looked at the Queen Mother and said: "Grandmother, Xuan'er said she didn't have one, she doesn't know that Qu Linjiang."

"Do you believe what she says?" The queen mother was annoyed.

Feng Qingli smiled, looked at the queen mother and said leisurely: "Xuan'er is grandson's fiancée, if grandson doesn't believe her, who does she trust?"

The queen mother hesitated, and then said: "Won't she lie to you?"

Feng Qingli looked at the queen mother and said, "Where did the queen mother get the news? Since the queen mother thinks that what Xuan'er said is not the truth, how about asking someone to confront her?"

The empress dowager was startled, and looked at the nanny next to her. The nanny nodded slightly, and the empress dowager asked someone to call the maid who had told her the story.

This court lady's name is Qin Fang. She was watching Gu Mingxuan being dragged to the open space outside the hall with a happy mood. It seemed that she was going to be punished by the staff. She couldn't help being very excited, but at the time when she was the happiest However, Feng Qingli came and kicked the two palace servants who were pulling Gu Mingxuan so neatly that they could not even stand up. Qinfang felt a little uneasy.

She instinctively felt that something was wrong, and she was not on duty anyway, so she hid in her room.

At this moment, when the other maids around the queen mother came to inform her to let her enter the palace to confront Gu Mingxuan in front of the queen mother, Qin Fang felt even worse in her heart.

She hastily pulled out the golden hairpin from her head, and stuffed it into the hands of the maid who came to pass the message, to find out what happened.

At any rate, she was on duty in the palace, so the maid told Qin Fang about the matter. Qin Fang listened to the progress of the matter, and her heart tightened. , and deliberately provoked a few words, but this matter can only be kept in private. After all, she is a court lady who makes irresponsible remarks, which is considered a violation of the palace rules. One is to be punished.

Moreover, she also told the queen mother that this was rumored in Beijing, and the queen mother asked her to confront it... I really don't know what to say.

However, following the maid's narration, Qin Fang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief—oh, there is an obvious flaw in Gu Mingxuan's words, as long as she grasps this flaw, Gu Mingxuan will definitely be speechless.

When the time comes, Gu Mingxuan will be unlucky, the Queen Mother will be happy, and the Concubine De will be happy too, so, the Empress Dowager and the Concubine De Concubine will ignore her wrongful charge of "talking too much".

Now that she knew how to deal with Gu Mingxuan, Qin Fang was not so nervous. Anyway, as long as Gu Mingxuan was proved to be a liar, she would definitely not be a liar.

Qin Fang stabilized her mind, entered the hall and kowtowed to the Empress Dowager, and after kowtowing to King Yong Feng Qingli, she knelt on the ground, waiting for questioning. The Empress Dowager said impatiently: "Qin Fang, Gu Mingxuan does not admit the matter between Gu Mingxuan and Qu Linjiang, she Say you don’t know this person, tell her what’s going on!”

Qin Fang would not explain everything clearly like what the Queen Mother said, so she said vaguely: "I just heard people say it by accident, and I think it's too much to spread it like this, because I hope the Queen Mother can understand it." It was only after purging the palace rules that I had the courage to tell the Empress Dowager, if I offend Miss Gu, please forgive me."

She wanted to try her best to tear herself apart first, and said her purpose very well, and then she talked about the rumors she heard-the rumors began when Gu Mingxuan met Qu Linjiang on September [-], and continued until Qu Linjiang left Beijing sadly.

In fact, at the very beginning, Qinfang told the queen mother's version that Gu Mingxuan had known Qu Linjiang long ago, so Qinfang knew after hearing how Gu Mingxuan defended herself from the palace maid of Compassion Ning Palace. The loophole in Gu Mingxuan's words has been caught - yes, others have not seen how unlucky Qu Linjiang was, so she can't directly confirm that Gu Mingxuan did it, but Gu Mingxuan and Qu Linjiang Mingming I've known each other for a long time, but Gu Mingxuan said that she didn't know each other. Isn't that a lie?
So Qin Fang also added this paragraph, she felt that Gu Mingxuan was pointed out the flaws all of a sudden, under the panic, maybe more flaws would be exposed, so she listened intently to Gu Mingxuan's next words, intending to find loopholes .

As for the queen mother, because Qinfang's words had more content than before, she listened carefully. After listening, she was overjoyed—it turns out that Gu Mingxuan had known Qu Linjiang a long time ago. Damn, she dared to argue Said that he did not know Qu Linjiang!
Therefore, she pretended to be furious and scolded Gu Mingxuan: "How dare you say that you don't know Qu Linjiang? Even the Ai family dared to deceive you. It seems that the Marquis of Shun'an is a little too arrogant."

A look of surprise appeared on Gu Mingxuan's face, and she said, "So the second young master of the Qu family is called Qu Linjiang? I really don't know that they are the same person..."

After a pause, Gu Mingxuan said: "I was taught by my grandmother and Nanny Zhuang, and because I grew up in the countryside, I made jokes because I didn't know the rules, so since then, I have worked harder to demand myself with dignity and demure Don’t dare to tell a strange man your name, and don’t take the liberty to ask a strange man’s name.”

"Isn't this a normal thing?"

Could it be that Gu Mingxuan didn't know the things that Qu Linjiang had contacted with her before, so it was easy to find out?
Knowing that this matter is easy to find out, Gu Mingxuan also categorically denied that she knew Qu Linjiang. It was because the queen mother didn't understand what she said when she slapped her with dirty water, so Gu Mingxuan could pretend to be stupid.

At the same time, it is also because it is a matter of course for a well-bred lady to not know the name of a young man from another family who has only met once or twice. It would be wrong if she knew.

At this moment, the queen mother accused her of lying, and Gu Mingxuan used this reason to silence the queen mother.

Didn't it mean that she was not a woman?She wanted to prove everywhere that she was very well-behaved and demure.

The Empress Dowager's complexion froze again, and she felt a little speechless!
This feeling made her even more annoyed.

The queen mother felt that she had lost face, so she looked at Qinfang like a knife.

When Qinfang heard Gu Mingxuan's excuses and rhetorical questions, she was a little dazed—she was not from a great family, and if she was from a great family, she would naturally not be sent to the palace to be a maid. Qin Fang completely ignored the rules that were followed by nature.

She thought she had caught the loophole in Gu Mingxuan's words, but she didn't know that Gu Mingxuan had actually thought about this issue a long time ago.

Qin Fang could only forcefully smile, emphasizing again that her original intention was good, she said: "Your maidservant knew that this must be someone who slandered and slandered, so I reported it to the Queen Mother, and hoped that the Queen Mother would punish those tongue-twisters. One time, one rule of the palace."

Feng Qingli couldn't help but want to applaud Gu Mingxuan, and Gu Mingxuan was so capable, he suddenly felt honored, and his heart was filled with pride——Xuan'er was as eloquent as himself, that's great!

After admiring Gu Mingxuan in her heart, Feng Qingli's eyes fell on Qinfang's body coldly, and he forced her to ask: "Oh? You said you heard the rumor from someone else, so tell me what it is? People, how dare you gossip like this and frame this king's future concubine?"

"Recklessly talking about the royal family is not something that can be settled after one's own death."

The cruelty and coldness in Feng Qingli's words made Qin Fang unable to help shaking her body. Just when Qin Fang didn't know what to do, Feng Qingli raised her head, looked at the Queen Mother, and smiled very brightly, Said: "Grandmother, look, what this palace lady said is really serious, grandson wants to take her to see the queen mother, so that the queen mother can punish them well, those palace people who don't know the rules in this palace, you see? "

Feng Qingli looked at the Empress Dowager with eyes full of anticipation. The Empress Dowager was angry and unwilling. She didn't like to see Feng Qingli's complacent look, so she said in a cold voice: "There is no reason for it. Why don't the rumors talk about others? As for her, it can be seen that it is the reason for her usual misbehavior, the Ai family feels that she is not worthy of marrying into the royal family, and is not worthy of being a prince and concubine, and the Ai family does not accept a granddaughter-in-law with bad character."

Old godmother, don't be ashamed!Feng Qingli was almost furious. After her father became the prince, because she liked him very much, the queen mother at that time made things difficult for him - because at that time, the current concubine Qin entered the prince's east palace and gave birth to Xiao Shisan, the queen mother hopes that Xiao Shisan, who has the blood of the Qin family, will become the crown prince, and his being favored is obviously not good for Xiao Shisan.

Taking a deep breath, Feng Qingli looked at the Empress Dowager with a half-smile, and said, "That's right, there may not be a reason for it, and my grandson thinks so too, so my grandson has to find out the matter, and when the time comes, who is right and who is wrong?" , isn't it clear at a glance?"

The queen mother wanted to say something, but heard the emperor's voice.

"Xiao Jiu is right. This matter really needs to be investigated!" The emperor walked in, and said in a solemn voice, "Since someone dares to play tricks in the palace, he will have to bear the consequences. For this matter, Xiao Jiu, you first Go check it out, check it out, if there is something that needs to be dealt with by your mother, you can go to your mother yourself."

"Emperor, this..." The Queen Mother wanted to express her objection, but the Emperor waved his hand and said to Feng Qingli: "Take your daughter-in-law down first, she is also frightened, I will reward her with something later, to calm her down! "

The emperor said it categorically, so there was no room for negotiation. When the queen mother heard it, she felt so depressed that she couldn't let it out—she wanted to punish Gu Mingxuan, but the emperor wanted to reward and praise Gu Mingxuan. This...

This is obviously slapping her in the face and embarrassing her in front of the people all over the world!
The Queen Mother felt very bitter in her heart. Others gave birth to a son who was filial to her, but she was born with this son who was born to restrain her. On the surface, he seemed to be very filial, but in fact, he always pissed herself to death.

Feng Qingli didn't care about the empress dowager's angry appearance, he promised with a smile, thanked the emperor gratefully, then turned to Gu Mingxuan who had just thanked the emperor, "Xuan'er, let's go, I'll see you off Go back—it’s a pity, it’s March, the weather is still a bit cold, and there’s nothing to see in the Royal Garden, otherwise I’ll take you for a walk..."

The Queen Mother was so angry that she was about to vomit blood... Could it be that Aijia announced her into the palace so that she could enjoy the scenery in the palace!

She was so angry that the queen mother closed her eyes and decided to pretend to be dizzy!

The emperor's brows furrowed deeply - what is the empress dowager trying to do, to let the world know how unfilial he is, and to make her mother dizzy all of a sudden?
For the sake of the Qin family, she really devoted herself to dying!

Although the emperor has been used to the empress dowager's attitude of being willing to do anything for the Qin family for so many years, every time he sees him, the emperor feels troubled - is he really her own son?How can a mother not think of her son's well-being.

Rubbing his head weakly, the emperor could only announce the imperial physician, yes, he knew that the queen mother was pretending to be dizzy now, but could he still expose it?

If he can't expose it, can he not ask the queen mother to be a doctor, but let the queen mother faint?At that time, when the people of the world attacked him, he would be accused of another crime-not to mention the empress dowager when he was so angry, and not to care about her life or death, and not to ask the empress dowager for diagnosis and treatment.

No matter what the emperor thinks, or the empress dowager pretending to be dizzy, at this moment, after Feng Qingli walked to a place where there are few people, she turned to Gu Mingxuan and said, "Xuan'er, don't worry, I will make them pay the price for this matter." of!"
