Chapter 446 The sky is sunny and the flowers are blooming (1)
Gu Ningshuang knelt on the ground and looked up at Han Qian. Hearing what Han Qian said, she knew in her heart that these were true, but she didn't know how to defend herself.

"There was one thing I couldn't figure out before. You clearly had a childhood sweetheart, why did you abandon him and come to this dark palace?" Han Qian asked helplessly.

"Your Majesty..." Gu Ningshuang didn't expect the queen to ask such a question, she was so dumbfounded that she didn't know how to answer.

"Empress, Liuying's confession has been signed and signed." Sun Defu hurried in, glanced at Gu Ningshuang who was kneeling on the ground, and handed over the confession after a moment of hesitation.

Han Qian reached out to take it, took a rough look, and then threw it on the ground: "Gu Ningshuang, look for yourself."

Gu Ningshuang didn't even dare to reach out to touch that confession, she didn't know what Liuying would confess, until this moment she realized that the maid she had served personally for many years, she couldn't fathom her heart at all.

"Gu Ningshuang, now there are two roads in front of you. First, I have saved the Gu family's face. You will leave the palace now and go back to your hometown in the south of the Yangtze River. I will allow you to marry freely. Second, Ben Gong handed over these confessions to Dali Temple, and let Dali Temple judge this matter."

"No, empress!" Gu Ningshuang stepped forward on her knees, hugged Han Qian's feet with both hands, and cried, "Empress, don't hand it over to Dali Temple! Don't..."

"Then I asked your aunt to come in and pick you up." Han Qian said softly.

"No! Ma'am! No, I won't go out! If I go out, there will be no way out... Everyone knows that I have entered the palace, but if I go out like this, I...how can I see people in the future!"

Han Qian frowned slightly: "Why, do you mean that you want to learn from Su Lan and bump into a pillar in front of Fengzhang Palace?"

"No, no, no!" Gu Ningshuang shook her head into a rattle while crying, "Ningshuang didn't mean that, Ningshuang was willing to stay in the palace as a slave and a maidservant to serve the empress, Ningshuang begged the empress..."

Han Qian sighed helplessly, shook his head and said, "Come here, take her down."

"My lady, my lady..." Gu Ningshuang wanted to say something, but Han Qian waved her hand wearily.Someone nearby immediately came forward and pulled Gu Ningshuang out.

Ping Ping'er looked at the empress's ugly face, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, Miss Gu is a bit stubborn, let's take a look at Master Hou's face, if there is anything wrong, you can directly talk to Hou Grandpa said."

Han Qian let out a long sigh of relief, nodded, and said, "That's right. It's time for me to have a good chat with my elder brother."

Although the empress is the head of the harem, it is not so easy to see her family if she wants to see her, at least she has to say hello to the emperor.Otherwise, if the matter of the harem colluding with foreign relatives is caught by someone with a heart, a lot of gossip will be made.

After thinking about it, Han Qian felt that Yun Shuo couldn't hide this matter from Yun Shuo, so he turned his head and told Sun Defu, "Go to Zichen Palace and see if His Majesty can come back for lunch at noon."

"Yes." Sun Defu agreed, turned and left.

Han Qian then ordered Pingguoer: "Go to the small kitchen to see what Wen Zhen has prepared, and ask her to make some meals that His Majesty likes."

"Got it." Apple agreed and went out.

Han Qian leaned on the couch and looked at the white peony in the opposite vase with clear water. Suddenly, she felt that the room was stuffy, so she got up and walked out.

"Your Majesty, put on the cape." Xiang Cheng hurriedly grabbed the white sable cape beside her and chased after her.

"No need, I'll go and see Tianxin." Han Qian waved his hand, walked out the door and walked along the corridor to the side hall.

Regarding Han Qian's meeting with Han Jianyuan, Yun Shuo had no opinion at all.

In the afternoon of that day, he orally summoned Zhong Yihou to enter the palace, and then asked Han Qian to meet Han Jianyuan in the inner hall of Zichen Hall, while he himself was busy with his official duties in the front hall, and he didn't even have the idea of ​​listening in.

Han Jianyuan hadn't seen Han Qian for a long time, and seeing her haggard and worried, he was very concerned, and asked, "Your Majesty's complexion is so bad, is it because she's not feeling well?"

"I'm fine. How is my father's health? I haven't seen him for a long time, and I miss him very much."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, my father's health is not bad. Although the old disease relapsed twice after winter, fortunately, the soup and medicine were in time, and the disease has been brought under control."

"So, my brothers and sisters-in-law must have worked very hard these days." Han Qian raised his hand and straightened the teacup in Han Jianyuan's hand, "Brother, your favorite Moonlight Beauty. The water is the snow on the plum blossoms in the old year. How does it taste?"

Han Jianyuan quickly picked up the teacup, thanked him first, and then took a sip seriously. After tasting carefully, Fang Zan said: "The tea is really good, and the water is also good. I thank you for your love."

Han Qian sighed, shook his head and said, "Brother, don't say that, it's just a cup of tea. My brother has spoiled me since I was a child, and I haven't paid anything in return. Even now, my family is bound by me and has to keep a low profile , Thinking of these, I feel very uncomfortable."

"Your Majesty, please don't say that, I... feel terrified." Han Jianyuan hurriedly put down the teacup and stood up.

Looking at the elder brother who respectfully obeys the etiquette of the emperor and ministers, Han Qian felt a little sad. Ever since he entered the palace, it was difficult for his family members to get close to him.

This is the so-called gain and loss, right?

I got the emperor's love, but lost the real family affection.

God is still fair!
Give you one, and you'll take the other.

But at this time, she didn't have the time and energy to worry about these things, and she didn't invite her eldest brother to the palace to experience the care and warmth of her family.

"Brother, look at this." Han Qian handed the confessions of Qian Fan and Liu Ying to Han Jianyuan.

Han Jianyuan was taken aback when he looked at the thing with the seal of the palace supervisor, thinking how could he, a foreigner, intervene in the affairs of the harem?

"Let's take a look. It's related to the Gu family." Han Qian sent the things to Han Jianyuan again.

Han Jianyuan frowned suddenly, took the thing Han Qian handed over with both hands and slowly opened it, and looked at it carefully.

When he closed these things, he already had an idea in his mind, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will handle this matter well."

"Brother, what do you think about this matter?" Han Qian asked in a low voice.

"Originally, Mrs. Gu hasn't taken over many things in the mansion in the past two years. After I go back, I will ask her to hand over all the affairs in the mansion to your second sister-in-law or third sister-in-law for a maximum of three days. I will send her to the family temple to recuperate, and then There is an excuse to take the girl from the Gu family out of the palace and ask her to take care of her aunt's recovery." After Han Jianyuan finished speaking, he sighed again, stood up and bowed deeply to Han Qian, "This kind of thing happened because I didn't manage the family strictly. I also ask the empress to forgive me."
