Chapter 117

After a long period of relative silence, Gu Yunxian asked softly: "How does Your Majesty want the concubine to handle this matter?"

The emperor looked at her, "Are you going to take care of this?"

Gu Yunxian looked helpless, "The concubine is the master of the harem, so these matters should naturally be taken care of by me."

This is reasonable, but the emperor shook his head, "It's not right. It's okay to leave other things to you, but this matter is related to yourself. In order to avoid suspicion, you'd better not get involved." Sighed softly, "The following Leave everything to me, don't worry about it."

She didn't expect him to think so much about her, and she was a little surprised.

Seeing her wide open eyes, his heart tightened, and he couldn't help but stepped forward to embrace her in his arms.

"Your Majesty." She pressed her cheek against his chest, her tone slightly astringent.

He was in a complicated mood, so he just closed his eyes and felt the fragrance of her body, "There are too many troubles in this palace. I really hope that one day I can take you away together."

"What nonsense did Your Majesty say?" She said softly, "You have an ancestral land on your shoulders, and you have court workers, how could you leave?"

Hearing this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, "You're right, I can't leave..." He took a deep breath, "But it's good to think about it."

She didn't make a sound.

She knew that what he said just now was just blurted out because of his emotional ups and downs.He has big ambitions and can't hope to leave here.

But she is different, she really hopes to escape.But from the day she was reborn, she clearly understood that she was destined to be bound in this palace city all her life.

Her life and death, honor and disgrace, ups and downs, are all closely related to this place and this man.

How helpless, when she was so eager to have nothing to do with him, God told her that she would never escape.

The emperor went to Xianchi Hall two days later.

Unlike the last time he had a showdown with Jiang Yuechang, this time he did not reject the palace maid, but confronted her in front of everyone.

The emperor was very polite from the beginning to the end, and never reprimanded Jiang Yuechang loudly.But he has such a personality, being polite does not mean that he is not angry.

He calmly asked Jiang Yuechang about the real situation of her last child, and asked if she was hiding something.

Jiang Yuechang tried to deny it at first, hoping to pass the test by pretending to be a fool, but the emperor didn't give her this chance.Zhang Xian presented a series of evidence in a timely manner, and her confidants in the palace also told the truth under the pressure of the emperor.

Complete betrayal.

Seeing her slumped on the ground with a dead face, the emperor looked cold, "I will remember this matter, and your crime will be counted. But the child is innocent, and I will give you time to give birth to the child." After a pause "The last child has been delayed by your irresponsibility. I hope you don't do the same thing again. Since I can execute Gongyipei and abandon Yunniang for the sake of the emperor's descendants, I can also send you down for him." Birth mother. Don't make me unhappy."

Jiang Yuechang's whole body was like mud, and there was nothing but emptiness in her eyes.

The next day, the emperor summoned several important officials in the Lixiao Hall, including Song Qi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites.In front of everyone, he casually told about Jiang Yuechang.

He said that the Jiang family had ulterior motives, deceived the emperor and neglected his superiors, and was a sin against the grace of the saints, which would not be forgiven.

The officials were shocked by the news and almost didn't react.

The courtiers who supported Fuli were fine. Although they were surprised, this was really good news for them. After understanding it, they immediately rejoiced.However, those ministers who persisted in opposing the restoration despite adversity were all caught off guard by this change.

Originally, the most powerful reason they opposed the restoration was that the Gu family persecuted the concubine's son and was unbearable to be the mistress.In order to aggravate Gu's crimes, they even made great efforts to portray Jiang Yuechang as a loyal and kind but innocent poor mother, trying to contrast Gu Yunxian's viciousness by describing Jiang Yuechang's pity.

While making up the story, His Majesty suddenly told them that the Empress Xiuyi who had been praised and pitied by them for so long had actually concealed such an important matter from the very beginning.

Under the huge blow, most people have the illusion that their feelings have been hurt.

As a representative of the injured people, Song Qi was undeterred and took the lead in questioning the authenticity of the news.So His Majesty quickly found out Zhang Xian and several palace servants from Xianchi Palace, and let everyone ask questions freely.

Zhang Xian was obviously prepared, and generously provided Ming Xiuyi's medical records for the past three years, and then explained the whole thing regardless of whether the ministers understood the advanced medical knowledge.

Everyone stared at each other for a long time, and finally had nothing to say.

On the afternoon when the ministers learned about Jiang's affairs, news about Jiang Yuechang's disobedience to concubine virtues and repeated offenses to Gu, who was still a queen at the time, also spread.Those rumors are so accurate, even the time and place are clear, you can't help but believe it.

Under the successive bombings, the trend of public opinion changed completely.

If there were still some voices sympathizing with Ming Xiuyi and accusing Gu Yunxian of viciousness before, but now there are no more.

The mistress can deal with disrespectful concubines. Since Jiang Yuechang is not a kind person, Gu Yunxian, who indirectly harmed her, is not at fault.

That being the case, if His Majesty wants to restore her as empress, everyone will have no reason to object.

After listening to Liu Shanggong's narration, Gu Yunxian fell silent.

It was within her expectation that the emperor would handle it like this, but it also surprised her a little.

The reason why she acted in that scene at the beginning was because she realized that despite the emperor's thunderous tactics, there were still people in the court who insisted on delaying the restoration.In order to completely destroy their bargaining chip, she came up with this plan of drawing salary from the bottom of the pot.

But it was beyond her expectation that the plan could go so smoothly.

She thought that the emperor cared about the child in Jiang Yuechang's womb, and maybe he would wait until after she gave birth before talking about it.But I don't know if he was too angry or something, but he didn't have the patience to wait for these three months, and announced it so quickly.

"My servant feels that His Majesty will do this for the sake of your empress..." Liu Shanggong said softly.

She trembled, "Why do you say that?"

"Although your majesty is firm, those courtiers have already made up their minds to use the dragging formula, and they will not let you go back until the empress gives birth to a royal descendant. Your majesty is probably a little impatient." Liu Shanggong said, "If You have been pregnant for more than five months until Ming Xiuyi gave birth. It is obviously too late to prepare for the conferment ceremony, and it is impossible for you to accept the canonization with a pregnant belly of seven or eight months. Therefore, Your Majesty Only then will this matter be made public in a hurry, and the matter of your reset will be settled earlier."

After Liu Shanggong finished speaking, seeing that Gu Yunxian was still expressionless, he couldn't help but add: "Your Majesty, my servant sees that His Majesty treats you right now..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Gu Yunxian stood up suddenly, and said coldly: "I'm a little tired, I want to go to sleep for a while."

Liu Shanggong also knew that her heart knot would not be untied in a short while, so he sighed secretly, and said: "The servant waits for the empress to go to bed."

Half a month after this incident happened, the emperor finally issued an imperial decree without anyone daring to refute, resuming the Gu family's position as empress, and held a conferring ceremony on the fifth day of June.

When the news reached the back of Hanzhang Hall, there was joy from top to bottom.A Ci's eyes were full of tears, and she sobbed, "Miss finally made it through, all the grievances are over! Slave, I am so happy..."

Gu Yunxian looked at her and smiled helplessly, "Why are you crying like a child?"

Ah Ci said: "Such a big happy event, isn't it worth the slaves crying?"

Gu Yunxian smiled lightly, but did not answer.

Are you over the top?She doesn't think so.

A successful reset is just another beginning.What will happen in the future, no one can tell.

And those grievances have not passed.They have long been deeply imprinted on her bones and skin, accompanying her through the years to come.

The emperor came to Hanzhang Hall that night as a matter of course, and Gu Yunxian stood waiting for her at the gate of the hall. As soon as he met him, he held her hand, "Everything is fine, no one will be able to bully you again."

Gu Yunxian nodded, with tears in his eyes.

After struggling for so long, the wish finally came true. The emperor was so happy that he couldn't help but hugged her by the waist, and just turned around in front of everyone.

Gu Yunxian cried out in surprise, but he laughed out loud.

"Your Majesty, let me down!" She thumped his shoulder.

He stopped circling, but still hugged her, "Then give me a nice shout!"

She was annoyed, "You put me down first."

"Not at all." His rogue appearance made her teeth itch, "I know you'll annoy me if you let me down. You're going to be angry anyway, why don't you make me happy first."

She was literally speechless.

Seeing the two people "flirting and cursing" like this, the palace people retreated out tactfully.

Gu Yunxian saw that there was no one around, so he pursed his lips and said, "Husband."

He pouted, obviously dissatisfied.

She was helpless, remembering the last conversation on Xishan, she already understood what he wanted to hear.After hesitating for a moment, she finally made up her mind, and said in a weak mosquito moaning voice, "Cunqing."

His eyes lit up suddenly.

"What did you call?" Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he pretended to be nonchalant, "Call again, I didn't hear clearly."

It was obvious that he was cheating, but Gu Yunxian was no longer bothered.She took a deep breath, looked directly at him, and said slowly, "Cunqing."

This time, she had a gentle voice and clear words, and she pronounced those two words like singing.

Obviously she just called his name, but the emperor felt that she seemed to have said some great love words to him, even his bones were crisp.

Seeing that he still didn't let go of himself, Gu Yunxian thought he was going to do something wrong again, and couldn't help but said: "The concubine is still pregnant, Your Majesty, you have to take care of the child even if you don't care about me..."

Reminded by her words, he realized that he had gone crazy holding a pregnant woman for a while, and put her down with a bit of fear, "Blame me, blame me. I got excited for a while, and I got carried away."

Gu Yun stared at him enviously, turned around and was about to walk towards the inner hall.

Seeing that she was slightly angry, he knew that he had just made her lose face in front of the palace servants, so he hurriedly chased after her, talking flattering words.

After coaxing gently and carelessly for a long while, he finally got the beauty's smile.

Gu Yunxian's eyes were as bright as water, and he said softly: "You can't do that in the future, if people find out, they will say that we don't respect you."

The emperor nodded sincerely, "Madam taught me a lesson, I must pay attention to my husband next time."

"You say it nicely, but I don't believe you will really change it." She gave him a look and said angrily.

He groaned with a smile, "Who said that? As a husband, you must remember what Madam said. As long as Madam promises me one thing, I will never mess around."

"What's the matter?"

He looked at her, the playful look in his eyes faded, replaced with a bit of seriousness, "Call me more often in the future."

She was taken aback for a moment, then bowed her head sideways, her cheeks flushed slightly.

Seeing her shyness made his heart skip a beat, he was holding her hand and was about to say something when Lu Chuan suddenly barged in.

He frowned, "What's wrong?"

Lu Chuan knew that he didn't want to see anyone at the moment, and he would never come in to disturb him unless it was something particularly important.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there is news from the Xianchi Hall that Empress Xiuyi has moved her fetus. I'm afraid, I'm afraid she is about to give birth!"
