Rebirth after waste

Chapter 151

Gu Yunxian lived in Maoshan for four months.

During this period, she has not received any news from the outside world. The hot spring palace is as quiet as a huge ice cellar, and she feels that she will never end this winter while she is in it.

But obviously, the spring outside has arrived.

When he has nothing to do, Gu Yunxian always sits by the window alone, watching the peach blossoms in the courtyard.It is now April, although the peach blossoms in the mountains are still in bloom, but the peach blossoms in the mountains must have already withered.She thought of the peach grove behind the Jiaofang Palace, and couldn't help sighing that she still couldn't enjoy the flowers there this time.

The days were long, and her thoughts also spread, and many questions were brought up for her to think about again.About her, about the emperor, about their entanglement.In the end, she really felt that maybe they both had been wrong from the beginning.

In her last life, she fell in love with him almost crazily, but in the end she made herself unrecognizable.Once bitten by a snake and afraid of well ropes for ten years, after being reborn, she carefully controlled her heart and refused to hand it over easily.

But this time, it was his turn to be infatuated with her.

He doted on her for three years and waited for her for five years. Eight years of long time finally melted the ice in her heart and moved her.But when she tried to get closer to him, he didn't want her.

They never hit the right moment.

After thinking about all this, she just felt relaxed all over, and couldn't help but rejoice that her heart was not moved as much as last time.Those bloody memories made her always remember to have some reservations. Although she fell in love with him again, it was not irretrievable.

Emperor's love is like a poisonous poison, they shouldn't get too close.She will try her best to control herself and stop thinking about him.

It's just that Ah Huan's safety still worries her.Although Lu Chuan made such a guarantee to her before leaving, she still couldn't really feel relieved.

The child has been with her since birth, and has never been separated for so long.She still remembered that the night before she left, she held his little hand and seriously told him what to pay attention to when he was alone in the palace.He sat listlessly in front of her, and suddenly threw himself into her arms, "Mum, why are you going out? Isn't it good to stay here?"

She forced a smile and said: "Didn't you say that? Mother is not in good health, she will go out for a while, and she will come back when she recovers."

"Then Ah Huan will go out with you, okay?" He looked at her eagerly, "It was like this before, let's go back to the mountain and live together."

She patted his head and used the most acceptable reason for him, "If we all left, how unhappy would your father be alone in the palace? Doesn't Ah Huan like father very much? You Just stay here with him for Aunt."

As expected, Ah Huan was taken aback by what she said, and after thinking hard for a while, he resolutely said: "No, I want to be with my mother more than my father. And my father will not be lonely, he has so many I'll be with you." The little head rubbed back and forth in Gu Yunxian's arms, "I'm the only one for you, mother."

Gu Yunxian was taken aback for a moment, and his eyes immediately became hot.

After talking a lot, Ah Huan reluctantly agreed to stay in the palace.Before leaving, Gu Yunxian saw that he was so depressed that he was about to cry, so he generously offered to make delicious sugar dumplings for him the next time we met, which made him smile through tears.

I haven't seen him for so many months, and I don't know if he has grown taller.Did you cover yourself with the quilt at night? If you were sick, would you cry for your mother?
The more Gu Yunxian thought about it, the more pain she felt in her heart. She only hoped that the emperor would call her back to the palace soon, and that she would stay by her child's side and never leave again.

One early morning in late April, the emperor suddenly sent someone to Maoshan to pick up Gu Yunxian.She stood in the Rouyi Hall, looking at the eunuch in front of her, she couldn't help frowning.

Not for anything else, just because the person who came to pick her up was actually Lu Chuan.

He is not serving the emperor in the palace, what is he doing in Maoshan?
"Empress, please follow me back to the palace quickly." Lu Chuan said respectfully, although he tried his best to conceal it, his tone still showed anxiety.

"Leave immediately?" Gu Yunxian widened his eyes in astonishment.

"Yes." Lu Chuan said, "The carriage is already waiting outside the hall, please board the carriage right now."

Gu Yunxian looked outside, and sure enough, he saw a row of ceremonial vehicles, the gorgeous palace cars shining brightly in the sun.

Everyone in the hall was also shocked by this hasty and unseemly posture, and they all looked at Gu Yunxian anxiously, waiting for her reaction.

Under the eyes of everyone, Gu Yunxian pursed his lips, and finally said: "Okay, I'm leaving now."

If it was said that he was rushed out of the palace at the beginning, he couldn't wait to be taken back now.

Gu Yunxian didn't react until he got into the carriage.What surprised her even more was that Lu Chuan didn't follow outside the carriage, but followed her into the carriage and knelt down in front of her obediently.

"Your Majesty ordered the minister to tell you a few things in advance." Lu Chuan said in a flat voice.Taking a closer look at this moment, Gu Yunxian realized that his expression was very haggard, and there were wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.But he was clearly not much older than her.

Gu Yunxian felt that he seemed to have aged ten years in a few months.

"My lord looks very bad, did something happen?" She suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, and asked hesitantly.

Lu Chuan was taken aback for a moment, then clenched his right fist, and then released it after a while, "It doesn't matter how humble I am, please listen to your Majesty's instructions first."

After he said that, Gu Yunxian had no choice but to follow along and asked: "Okay. I just don't know what the lord wants to tell me?"

"The fifth prince was established as the crown prince half a month ago, worshiped at the Taimiao, and announced it to the world."

Gu Yunxian felt relieved.It's not because Ah Huan became the crown prince, but because Lu Chuan said so, it proves that Ah Huan is safe and sound.

Suddenly remembering something, she tentatively said: "Then, may I ask my lord, who is the prince and grand master?"

"Same as the original plan, Minister of Rites, Cui Shuo, Master Cui."

The big stone in Gu Yunxian's heart is really relieved this time.Ah Huan is fine, Cui Shuo is fine, and the accident on New Year's Eve finally did not cause more serious consequences.

"There is one more thing," Lu Chuan added, "Your Majesty sent concubine Shen Hui down a month ago, demoted her to a commoner, and sent her to Yongxiang. Shen's father was also dismissed and investigated for corruption and bribery."

Gu Yunxian looked at Lu Chuan in astonishment, "Shen Zhuyang was... demoted to a commoner?

"Not only the Shen family, but Jin Jieyu was also deposed and locked up with the common people Shen."

Gu Yunxian restrained his violent heartbeat, thought for a moment, and understood the reason, "Did Shen Zhuyang and Bo Xiwei do what happened on New Year's Eve?"

She asked straightforwardly, and Lu Chuan answered simply, as if he came out this time to explain these things to her, "Yes. Your Majesty checked for half a month before he was sure. The Shen family designed the queen and framed the noble concubine, and your majesty moved I got angry, so I let it go." After a pause, "I was punished for murdering Concubine Zhu Shu."

"Murder Concubine Shu?" Gu Yunxian raised his eyebrows, "For what?"

"Naturally, it is to take away Concubine Shu's son and seek the throne."

Gu Yunxian understood.She thought of Zhu Jingru, and realized that this time she should have performed a play for the emperor.

It is impossible for the emperor to say that Shen Zhuyang planned to expose Cui Shuo's affairs with her, because it would be tantamount to revealing that ulterior secret.That being the case, he had to find other reasons to punish her.She had done it in the past to plan for the crown prince, and now she is repeating the same trick, which is very convincing.

She suddenly felt dull.What happened to Shen Zhuyang, what happened to Bo Xiwei, and even what happened to the emperor had nothing to do with her.At this moment, she just wanted to return to Ah Huan's side quickly, and take a good look at whether his little face had changed.

Seeing that she was absent-minded, Lu Chuan didn't speak again.Turning his head to look out the window, his eyes were deep black, filled with worry and real pain.

When Yijia drove to a place fifty miles away from Yudu City, suddenly there was a loud sound of horseshoes outside, as if a large group of people were approaching.Gu Yunxian raised the curtain in confusion, and was surprised to find that all those people were dressed as Habayashiro, and the leader was a commander of the Habayashi Army.

In the billowing smoke and dust, she caught a glimpse of everyone's faces full of anxiety, and when she saw her car driving, all of them showed joy.

The troops on both sides stopped at the same time, and the commander of the imperial guards got off his horse, knelt in front of the carriage and said in a loud voice, "I will see the empress, please be safe!"

"Yes." Gu Yunxian replied lightly in the car.

Lu Chuan's expression changed drastically from the moment he saw Habayashiro.Seeing his pale face, frightened eyes, and beads of sweat rolling down his forehead, Gu Yunxian felt more and more uneasy.

"Lord Qi, what...what happened?" Lu Chuan opened the car door, looked at Commander Qi and asked in a trembling voice.

"Lord Lu, my subordinates have been ordered to come here to clear the way for the Empress, so that she can return to the palace as soon as possible." Commander Qi said in a deep voice, "Master Zhijinwu has received an order, and the gate of the Jiuzhong Palace has been opened wide. drive."

"Your Majesty, he..." Lu Chuan's voice seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't ask the following words.

Commander Qi was silent for a moment, "When I left, all the imperial doctors had already gathered in Jiaofang Hall."

The veins on Lu Chuan's forehead twitched violently.Breathing heavily, he suddenly raised his voice and said hoarsely: "What are you waiting for? Let's go now!"

Everyone took orders, Habayashiro went first, and drove away the nearby idlers for them in advance, so that Fengjia could go unimpeded.

The car door closed again, Lu Chuan turned his head and found that Gu Yunxian was staring at him.

"What happened?" She seemed to be radiating cold air from between her teeth, which was shocking.

Lu Chuan's face was ashen, and he knelt there without answering.

"If you don't answer, I will open the door and let people outside tell me." Gu Yunxian said sharply, "I think those people are very clear about it, so just keep it from me!"

Lu Chuan's body trembled, his teeth were clenched, and his eyes were a little red, "Your Majesty ordered me to tell the empress as soon as possible, you..."

Gu Yunxian got up without saying a word, and was about to open the car door——

"His Majesty is ill."

Her hands froze in place.

After a long while, she slowly turned her head, her neck was as stiff as a stone, "Is... sick?"

Lu Chuan took a deep breath, and the long-term pressure finally crushed him. At this moment, he said almost recklessly: "In November last year, His Majesty had a headache recurrence. The Imperial Medical Office has been working hard for several months, but they have not been able to come up with a cure. Up to now, it has been..."

Gu Yunxian stared at him blankly, as if he couldn't understand the meaning of his words, "Headache recurrence?"

She remembered.At the end of last year, he did have a recurrence of headache.Just because I read the article that scolded him to pieces, I was so angry that I got a headache.But didn't the imperial doctor see it later and say it was just an old problem?

Holding on to the inner wall of the carriage with one hand, she was a little out of breath, "You mean, he's sick, and... can't be cured?"

Lu Chuan looked at her with a gloomy face, and said in a sad tone, "Mother, these Habayashi men came out behind the minister, there must be something wrong with His Majesty's condition, and they came to urge us...

"We have to hurry up, otherwise, we may not be able to catch up..."

The Queen's Yijia quickly crossed Long'an Long Street and entered the palace from Danfeng Gate. Afterwards, she did not change into a sedan chair according to the rules, but drove directly through the inner court.

Gu Yunxian sat in the car numbly, watching the scene outside through the half-open window.

Everyone was in a hurry, and when they saw the queen's car passing by, they all knelt down and kowtowed in fear.Gu Yunxian saw that there were still wet tears on the faces of many maids, but they showed surprise and joy in the direction of the carriage, as if she had a backbone when she came back.

After the car arrived at Changqiu Palace, Gu Yunxian helped Gong'e's hand down, and as expected, he saw that everyone had gathered here.

Yin Fansu walked over first, and grabbed her hand without paying respects, "Sister, you're back! I'm so anxious!"

She pursed her dry lips and forced herself to ask, "Where's Your Majesty?"

how is heHow is he?She is back now, has she already...

The fear in my heart was like a bag filled with wind, getting bigger and bigger, and it was about to explode.

"Your Majesty is waiting for you!" Yin Fansu said, "Thank God, my concubine almost thought..."

The words "can't keep up" were swallowed back. Wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, she choked up and said, "Go quickly."

She was like a puppet being manipulated, and after listening to her words, she walked obediently towards the hall.Before she had gone a few steps, Yin Fansu stood in front of her again, "Your Majesty is not there."

Gu Yunxian turned his head, Yin Fansu pointed to the back of Jiaofang Hall, "He's waiting for you in the woods."

Lu Chuan, who was on the side, was surprised when he heard the words: "Didn't the imperial doctor say that His Majesty can't blow the wind? Why did you let him go to the forest!"

Excessive panic made his tone a bit reprimanding, but Yin Fansu didn't mind, just bit his lips and said, "Your Majesty suddenly fainted two hours ago, after the imperial doctor gave him an injection to wake him up, he He suddenly said that he was going to sit in the forest. We couldn't stop him, so we had to carry him out..."

carry him out.

When Gu Yunxian heard those four words, he realized clearly for the first time that the man was really sick.

A person like him who wants to be strong is like a useless sick man at the moment, who needs the help of others to go where he wants to go.

In his heart, how sad it must be.

Lu Chuan wanted to say something, but saw Gu Yunxian walking towards the back of the Jiaofang hall without saying a word.The expression on her face was like sleepwalking, and she didn't know when she bumped into someone, but scared the other person to kneel on the ground and kowtow.
