The Six Palaces of Favorites: The Black-bellied Emperor's Cold Concubine

Chapter 482 The Change of Elbow and Armpit (11)
After a long silence, Xiao Jun frowned and said slowly: "Chen'er, I actually know everything, including why Qin Zishuo wanted to take you away. I am very glad that you didn't follow him last night. This is why I am willing to forgive you. You are a very affectionate woman. Even if you no longer love him, you will not let your savior be hurt. I can understand this. Gu Jieyu has already You are dead, but I still want to protect you, you can rest assured that I will find a way for you."

"Your majesty, I'm sorry for you, all concubines deserve to die." She threw herself into his arms and cried loudly, pouring out the words in her heart as if venting, "The concubine knows why the emperor must want the concubine to speak out, but the concubine If the concubine doesn't say anything, it doesn't mean that the husband is more important than the emperor in the concubine's heart. The concubine just can't be ungrateful. The concubine didn't dare to tell the emperor before, because he was afraid that the emperor would misunderstand that the concubine and the concubine were broken. The concubine wanted to end it by herself This matter, but who knows that they did not intend to cause such a big disaster, no matter how the emperor dealt with it, the ministers and concubines have no complaints."

"Do you want to make a break with him?" Xiao Jun's face was gloomy all morning, and finally showed a little sunshine, "I know what you are afraid of, don't worry, I will not let you have trouble. Qin Zishuo sent It is enough that only you and I know about people coming to see you, as for who wants to frame you, I naturally have a way to let him show his feet."

Qing Chen raised his eyes and asked: "How does the emperor know that the concubine has seen Su Di?"

"Su Di?" Xiao Jun narrowed her eyes slightly, and said after a pause, "This is my palace, and it's not difficult for me to know what it is. If I can't even protect you, then wouldn't the emperor like me?" Too incompetent?"

If he wanted to protect her, he naturally had his own way. Qingchen knew that he didn't need to ask any more questions, but he said ashamedly: "Your Majesty, let this concubine pay homage to Sister Gu. It is this concubine who is sorry for her, and this concubine dares to ask the emperor for permission." .”

"Tomorrow, don't be in a hurry now." Xiao Jun said again in a deep tone: "Su Di killed her, I don't allow you to blame yourself too much, and you can copy more Buddhist scriptures for her after the worship, but I I don't want to see you like this again."

Qingchen got up and knelt on the couch, begging with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, this concubine knows that she has no face to beg the emperor, but Sister Gu... She was tired by the concubine and died unjustly, and the concubine is restless I begged the emperor to grant her mourning after death, which can be regarded as a little compensation from the concubine, as long as the emperor gives her permission, no matter how I punish the concubine in the future, the concubine will be willing to punish her."

Xiao Jun couldn't bear it. In the end, he was also responsible for this matter. If he hadn't used her to lure Qin Zishuo, maybe Gu Manqin would not have met their private meeting and died. It's better than letting her feel guilty all the time.

The emperor thought about it for a while, and said to Fuquan: "The decree is to enshrine Gu Jieyu as the fourth-rank Shuyi, and to be buried according to the rank."

Qingchen hurriedly kowtowed on the couch to thank the emperor, "My concubine thanked the emperor for his kindness."

She originally thought that Gu Manqin was a sixth-rank Jieyu, and the emperor would at most give him a fifth-rank Wanyi or Wanrong, but she never thought that she would give him a fourth-rank. In this way, Qingchen felt much better, and could Not to mention not being able to comfort the dead, as far as the living are concerned, not only her, the emperor also gave the queen enough face.

After Xiao Jun left, Yun Lan helped her lean on the couch and asked, "Your Majesty thinks it's okay, but what's wrong?"

There was still overwhelming sadness in my heart, and when the emperor left, the sadness flooded into my heart uncontrollably, and I couldn't help choking up tears, sobbing endlessly, "I'm fine, it's just that I don't feel well."

Seeing that she was so sad, Yun Lan wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and persuaded her softly, "Your majesty, the emperor did not let you go to worship Gu Jieyu today because he was afraid that your majesty would be too sad and hurt your body. It's not all the empress's fault. Su Di killed her to silence her to protect the empress and that Mr. Qin? If Gu Jieyu is still alive, if the maidservant says a word that doesn't scare you, you can guarantee that she will guard this for you Is it a secret, she is always the Queen's man!
The servant girl knows that the empress is a person who values ​​feelings, but the current situation we are in, the empress must also be aware of it.The queen can't tolerate Concubine Ning and Shu Guiyi, how can she tolerate you?Now Shu Guiyi's wings have been broken in many ways, and she is now a mud bodhisattva crossing the river. If Concubine Ning hadn't secretly helped her, the queen might have attacked Shu Guiyi long ago.

The servant girl said this not to gossip, but to let the empress understand that the queen will turn against us sooner or later, and Gu Jieyu will also stand against us sooner or later, she... can't stay!Now that the young master has asked for such a great honor for her, it is already the best result.It's better than one day she can't help being used by the queen, and it's much better to kill each other with your empress and you can't end well. "

Qingchen tucked her knees and listened to Yun Lan's words, knowing that what she said was the truth, she couldn't refute every word Yun Lan said, the reason why the empress didn't move her now was because she was afraid of pushing her to Concubine Ning's side At that time, the queen will have another opponent.Since he has always maintained a neutral attitude, the queen can temporarily save her thoughts on dealing with her and concentrate on dealing with the threatening person in front of her.

As for Gu Manqin, when that day really came, Qingchen didn't have the confidence in how she would choose.

She couldn't imagine how hurtful it would be.With Gu Manqin's cowardly temperament, she must not dare to disobey the Queen's will. Sisters turning against each other is the greatest harm to each other.

Qingchen knew that Yun Lan was not a cold person, she said this just because she didn't want to make herself feel sad, but such cruel consolation would only make her feel more uncomfortable.

Jin Xin brought her soothing tea and handed it to her, carefully asked Yun Lan: "It was so late yesterday, what did Gu Jieyu come to our Tonghua Palace?"

Yun Lan said helplessly: "I heard from Xiao Xiangzi that Gu Jieyu came back from Yao Shuyi's palace last night, and Yao Shuyi made some fresh cakes by herself, and asked her to take them to our mother on the way, who knows that she doesn't know how to stop?" The reason for raising her voice is also to blame for her own curiosity, if she didn't have the desire to pry into her secrets, why did she hide and eavesdrop?"

What Yun Lan meant was that if Gu Manqin saw someone was there, she would be smart enough to make some noise to alert people, and then come out later to give Su Di a chance to escape, she would not be silenced.These harsh words may not come from Yun Lan's sincerity, but what she said is not wrong.

Qing Chen instructed Jin Xin to say: "Since the emperor knows everything, I think I will not be able to hide from him about the meeting I made with my husband in a few days. Go tell Gu Yunfeng and ask him to send a letter to my husband so that he will not act rashly for the time being. Let’s leave for a while to avoid disaster.”

A trace of panic flashed across Jin Xin's face, thinking it was too coincidental, how could it be good, "Did you forget, the emperor sent Yun Feng back to the palace with the ancestor and the queen mother?"
