Rebirth after waste

Chapter 13

Jiang Chongyi took a deep breath, looked at Gu Yunxian with a sneer and nodded, then turned and left.Shen Shuyi took a deep look at her and followed her closely.

Zhen Jieyu stayed until the end, looked at Gu Yunxian with a smile and said, "Congratulations, Mrs. Gu."

"Why is there joy?"

"Isn't it a great joy to be reborn from Nirvana?"

Gu Yunxian lowered his eyelashes: "Yes. I have today, thanks to Zhen Jieyu."

Zhen Jieyu smiled: "It seems that we will have many opportunities to deal with each other in the future, so we should get closer."

"That's natural."

Zhen Jieyu and Ye Cairen left together, Gu Yunxian looked at her back and knew that she didn't understand what he said just now.

She said: "I have today, thanks to Zhen Jieyu." This sentence does not refer to her pushing her out of the back seat and causing her an embarrassing status, but refers to her design to kill her in her previous life. Finally, she was enlightened, and she was reborn from the Jedi.

In the past two days, she has been thinking that if she really wanted to avoid the harem battle, she would never have proposed to serve the queen mother.Knowing that this move would complicate things, he still did it.In the final analysis, deep down in her heart, she was still faintly yearning for revenge.

The filial piety to the queen mother is one aspect, and the subconscious hope that the Jedi will fight back and avenge the shame is another aspect.

She couldn't let go of those things at all.

Gu Yunxian knew that what happened in front of the Changxin Palace would soon reach the ears of the emperor. There have been so many eyes staring at her in the palace these days, she seemed to have made a mistake after all, and everyone would never let it happen. His Majesty missed it.

At Haishi that night, the emperor took Lu Chuan to the Chang'an Hall quietly without taking a sedan chair.

Stopping the pass by the palace servants, he walked slowly outside the East Hall, only to see Gu Yunxian was concentrating on copying something in front of the case.

Ah Ci offered her a cup of tea, and said softly: "Miss has been copying for two hours, and I haven't used it for dinner, so let's take a rest."

Gu Yunxian shook his head: "No, there are too many scriptures, I have to hurry up."

The emperor frowned, the empress mother loved her so much, even if she was asked to copy the scriptures, she would know how to do it, and she would never be forced to copy the scriptures all day and all night.

"Miss, you are really serious. The Empress Dowager gave you only one copy of the "Avatamsaka Sutra". You can finish copying it first. Why do you want to copy other things?"

Gu Yunxian was silent for a while: "I just want to do my best for that child who died in vain."

The room was silent.

"You mean, Jiang Chongyi's child?"

Gu Yunxian gave a soft "hmm".

"Since you feel guilty in your heart, why do you still treat Jiang Chongyi like that today?" Ah Ci whispered, "You know what happened today, and everyone should say that you are not good. Even His Majesty..."

"They can talk as much as they like." Gu Yunxian said in a dull tone, "Although I feel ashamed of Jiang Chongyi, but the queen mother is seriously ill now, and she is so noisy in front of her palace gate, I really can't bear it. As for Your Majesty, anyway, I In his heart, he is not a good person, so he can do whatever he thinks."

He was slightly taken aback when he heard the last sentence.What he said was quite a little girl's wayward, which was quite different from her usual behavior, and it actually made him want to laugh.

Lu Chuan looked at the expression on the emperor's face, pressed his voice and asked tentatively: "Does your majesty want to go in?"

Shaking his head, he took another look at Gu Yunxian's slender white face, and said softly, "No."

Hearing the sound of footsteps gradually receding, Gu Yunxian heaved a sigh of relief.

Ah Ci was still a little apprehensive: "We just said something like that, His Majesty will really calm down and don't blame Miss?"

"Naturally." Gu Yun enviously said, "Your Majesty's filial piety, I reprimanded Jiang Chongyi for the sake of the queen mother's phoenix body, he will never blame him, maybe he will think that Jiang Chongyi is ignorant and picks things up regardless of the occasion .”

"Since that's the case, Miss only needs to say the first part, why bother to say the second one?" What's the matter with "whatever you think", you won't be afraid of His Majesty's annoyance when you say this!

"It's because I said that that he felt that what I just said was from the bottom of my heart, not just for him to see." After all, which woman who invites pets would dare to say such things knowing that His Majesty is still there?What's more, her scale is just right, those words will only arouse his interest in him more, but will never offend him.

Only then did Ah Ci suddenly realize, and after thinking about it, he hesitated and said, "Then, Miss Jiang Chongyi..."

Gu Yunxian understood what she meant, and said calmly: "Although I feel guilty towards her, it is impossible to tolerate her forever. Now that I am in a delicate situation, I must not act weak. Otherwise, I will only be at the mercy of others. What's more... . . . "

What's more, she had already lost her life to her.

The accounts between them have already been settled.

"By the way, I will reward Huang Zhong with this jade ring later. He has made a great contribution tonight." Gu Yunxian said, "I told you earlier that the Queen Mother will not send a mediocre person to me. This time If he hadn't managed to notify us of His Majesty's arrival in time, this play would have been impossible."

Ah Ci took Yu Jue, thought for a while and then asked: "Does that young lady know where Your Majesty will go after leaving Chang'an Palace?"

Gu Yunxian's eyes drifted into the distance, only to see the night outside the window like a daisy: "No accident, it should be Xianchi Palace."

Xianchi Hall, that is Jiang Chongyi's sleeping hall.

The emperor did go to Xianchi Hall that night.

On the second day, the whole harem knew about it, and Mrs. Gu reprimanded Jiang Chongyi when she was in a coma, and His Majesty went to see her at night, the meaning of which is self-evident.Some people can't help gloating, thinking that Gu Shi spent so much effort to finally regain the favor, but he is so impatient and plays that prestige in front of Jiang Chongyi.

However, just when everyone thought that Mrs. Gu would be left out in the cold again, news came that His Majesty went to the Plum Garden with Mrs. Gu to pick plum blossoms for the Queen Mother.

In the first month of the lunar year, plum blossoms are in full bloom. They are pink, white and green, clusters and clusters. They look so beautiful that it makes this winter less cold and more lively.Wearing a plain cloak, Gu Yunxian put her fingers on the branch in front of her, and said, "What do you think of this branch, Your Majesty?"

The emperor looked at it seriously for a while, then shook his head: "It's more than strong, but it's soft. Not good, not good."

Gu Yunxian took a deep breath and told himself to calm down.

Ever since they entered the plum garden, the old man just stood there doing nothing, only ordering her to pick plum blossoms.But he can pick out all kinds of faults in every branch she chooses, either it is not good here, or it is not good there, in short, it is not worthy of taking it back to the Changxin Palace for the Empress Dowager to appreciate.

"Your Majesty, what kind of plum blossom do you want? Can you tell me one or two? The concubine can also choose according to your request." She turned around, looked at him and said helplessly.

"Yunniang, you are so smart, don't you know what kind of plum blossoms I want?" The emperor raised his eyebrows.

Gu Yunxian sighed: "The concubine also hopes that the concubine knows."

Her helplessness pleased him greatly.With a smile in his eyes, he was about to let it go and stop playing tricks on her, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a small yellow gate sneakily looking towards her in a certain corner of the plum garden, acting suspiciously.

Waving his hand lazily, his voice was even a little careless, but heavy: "Take that person down."

Naturally, the imperial guards were top-notch, so they quickly brought the little yellow gate over and knelt at their feet.

Seeing that the emperor had no intention of opening his mouth, Lu Chuan asked first, "Who are you? Why are you peeping here?"

Xiao Huangmen bowed his head and remained silent.

Lu Chuan winked at the guard who was escorting him, and the guard immediately squeezed his shoulder hard.These guards had all experienced in the Punishment Department. That pinching seemed to be an understatement, but it hit the acupuncture point, and the pain was like a knife blade.

As expected, Xiao Huangmen couldn't take it any longer, and said in a miserable voice, "I'll say it! The villain is the inner prisoner who tends the flowers and plants in the plum garden, and his name is Amu! The villain didn't peep just now, but just heard that His Majesty came here, You want to see Tianyan in delusion, that's why you hide there! Your Majesty is clearly aware!"

"You're not a woman, why are you seeing me?" the emperor said slowly.

Seeing that he was still talking nonsense at this moment, Gu Yunxian could only smile wryly.Lu Chuan seemed to be used to it, without moving his eyebrows, he just said to Amu: "If you don't say it now, you will spit out everything after a while."

These words were so dark that Gu Yunxian was a little frightened.

In the afternoon of that day, Mrs. Bo, who had been imprisoned in the dormitory for many days, was suddenly brought to Changle Palace.When the eunuch went to pick up the person, Zhu Guiji, who lived in the same palace as her, stood in the porch expressionlessly, wondering what she was thinking.

There was a lot of discussion in the six palaces, and then everyone received an order that the Empress Dowager of the Changle Palace that day, please come as many as possible, and you must not be absent.

At dusk, more than a dozen warm sedan chairs stopped in front of the gate of Changle Palace. Everyone had their own thoughts. When getting off the sedan chair, they didn't forget to look at the others, and they were all a little nervous.

As soon as he entered the palace, he found that the queen mother was sitting on the throne, and the emperor was beside her, without any expression on her face.Gu Shi was beside him, nodding his head and lowering his eyebrows, looking very docile.

This scene couldn't help but remind everyone of the past, when the emperor and empress held high positions side by side, and they were inferior concubines, as if they would never be able to surpass her.

Everyone worshiped and sat down in their respective seats.Liu Shanggong stepped forward: "The Empress Dowager invited all the empresses and ladies to come here, mainly because a major event happened in Meiyuan today, and I need you to be witnesses."

With a wink, she saw that Bo Jinrou, who had been demoted to Cai Nu, was carried by the palace servants into the hall, and knelt on the ground.

There was no scar on her body, but everyone knew that she had been tortured once.

"Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, my concubine is really wronged..." Her voice was weak and she couldn't cry.

Another little yellow door was also brought up. Compared with Bo Jinrou, his appearance was much more miserable, with scars on his face and hands, very terrifying.

"The matter has come to this, and you still haven't pleaded guilty?" The queen mother frowned, "This little yellow family has recruited everything, what are you still doing!"

"The concubine will never admit to something that has not been done!"

"Alright then," the queen mother took a deep breath and looked at Amu, "tell me what you just reported to Aijia."

Amu kowtowed: "Reporting to the Queen Mother, Your Majesty, the villain was originally a palace maid who tended flowers and plants in the plum garden, and Yu'er, the palace maid next to Bo Cainu, is a fellow villager. Yuer suddenly found the villain a month ago, saying that Bo Cainu let Xiaoren I do one thing for her, and in return, she will help the villain treat the seriously ill old parents in his hometown. The villain has no choice but to agree to her."

"What did she ask you to do?"

Amu was silent for a while: "She asked the villain to pour a basin of cold water under a certain plum tree in the plum garden on the first day of the twelfth lunar month, and ensured that the rest of the inner eunuchs who cleaned the yard would not notice it."

Everyone looked at each other, and some of them who didn't understand just felt baffled when they heard this, and wondered what such an order was.On the contrary, Shen Shuyi and Jiang Chongyi's eyes moved, and their expressions became interested.

"On the first day of the twelfth lunar month, isn't that the day Xing Cairen fell in the plum garden?" Lingyi Yin said in a low voice, "Splashing water under the plum tree...ah, it can't be the one that Xing Cairen fell over. tree!"
