Rebirth after waste

Chapter 3

After an unknown amount of time, the hustle and bustle over there subsided, and Gu Yunxian heard footsteps getting closer.Taking a deep breath, she knew it was her turn.

Many people come.

Her mat was set on the left side of the hall. At this moment, she knelt down on the ground, said Holy Ann, and looked at the floor in front of her without moving.A pair of silk shoes embroidered with golden dragon patterns passed in front of her. She saw the hem of the black robe and smelled the familiar scent of pines and cypresses.

She'd wondered long ago why he didn't like the smell of ambergris, never used it.The aura on his body is not the ambergris that the emperors of all dynasties have loved, but the pine and cypress aura that is as warm as the sun, which is refreshing and has its own grace.

How obsessed she was with this breath before.

The emperor sat down at the head, and the concubines who followed also found their own seats.Lu Chuan coughed and said to her, "Miss Gu, Your Majesty has something to ask you."

She stood up silently and knelt down in the center of the hall.

It was said that His Majesty asked, but in fact it was Lu Chuan who spoke: "What is going on in Meiyuan today, Your Majesty wants to hear what Miss Gu has to say."

Listen to what she said, that is to say, have you heard other people's words before?That's right, although Bo Jinrou is arrogant and ignorant, Ye Ling is very scheming, so naturally she won't miss this opportunity.

She lowered her head and said slowly: "The concubine is in the plum garden today...to admire the plum blossoms, but I don't want to meet Bo Meiren, Ye Cairen and Xing Rouhua. We had a little dispute. Later, Bo Meiren said that he would pick a plum blossom as a gift. The queen mother felt that Xing Rouhua was lucky to be pregnant with a dragon fetus, so she asked her to fold it. Because the concubine's former plum blossom queen mother was still eye-catching, so she followed suit for a few times, but suddenly... fell, Xing Rouhua Xu She was frightened, slipped and fell down. The concubine thought she was pregnant, and if she fell, it would be a catastrophe, so she tried her best to catch her." After a pause, she asked worriedly, "Xing Rouhua, is she okay?"

Lu Chuan was slightly stunned, and looked at Gu Yunxian suspiciously.He can still vividly remember how this empress hated her concubines when she was a queen in the past. Why did she suddenly change her temper after not seeing her for two months?He was very confused when he was in Meiyuan in the afternoon. He was standing not far away. Although he couldn't see their expressions clearly, he could clearly hear Bo Meiren's cynicism towards her, and her words were so sharp.If it were the former empress, she must have been irritated long ago, but today she is just silent.

Seeing that Gu Yunxian was still staring at him, he coughed: "Ms. Rouhua is fine. Fortunately, Mrs. Gu, you caught her, otherwise it would be bad."

Gu Yunxian's heart relaxes, it's okay, everything in his plan is under control, the only worry is that Xing Rouhua's health is too weak, even if he catches her, he still can't keep her child.That's the best way to go now.

Seeing this, Lu Chuan was even more puzzled. Her expression didn't change obviously, but he could see that she was really relieved.She was really worried about Xing Rouhua's child?

He thought so in his heart, and someone has already said it on his behalf: "I am going to be confused when I take care of my wife. Why is this Jingsheng Pavilion a Buddhist hall? After living for a long time, even my temper can be changed. If you care about your majesty's heirs so much, It's not like the empress of the past!"

Everyone looked at Bo Meiren who spoke, and then at Gu Yunxian.Everyone knows what the implication of this sentence is.Gu Yunxian was abolished in the first place because he was involved in the case of poisoning the emperor's descendants. Now that Bo Meiren mentioned it, it is simply a heart-breaking theory.

Lu Chuan looked around the hall and asked, "Dare to ask my lady, why did you suddenly fall down?"

Gu Yunxian was silent for a moment, and said, "Because someone pushed me from behind."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Bo Meiren sternly said, "Who pushed you? I think it's because you wanted to harm Xing Rouhua, so you rushed forward."

It was natural for her to be so excited. She was standing behind Gu Yunxian at that time, and Lu Chuan also saw it. Now that Gu Yunxian said this, he was accusing her of pushing her!

Gu Yunxian turned to look at her, and said in a calm tone, "If I want to harm her, why should I catch her?"

"Say you know. The empress is unpredictable, so how could we be able to guess..."

She called her that again.That's what she called her in the plum garden in the afternoon, just to humiliate her.She endured it at the time, but this time it was not so easy.

Frowning slightly, she turned her head away: "Beauty Bo is wrong. I am no longer the queen. On the third day of September, His Majesty decreed to depose me. You call me that, obviously you don't take His Majesty's will seriously. .”

Bo Meiren was shocked when she heard the words, she hurriedly looked at the seat above, and said: "The concubine made a slip of the tongue for a while, Your Majesty forgives me..." How could the Gu family forget the occasion in a fit of anger?This is not the Plum Garden, it's really...

I was feeling annoyed when I suddenly thought of something and immediately said: "You said you went to the plum garden to enjoy the plum blossoms? Why don't you stay in the Jingsheng Pavilion and sneak out to the plum garden to enjoy the plum blossoms? Do you think I will believe it? Your Majesty Will you believe it?"

As soon as these words came out, Ye Cairen immediately felt powerless.This... Bo Jinrou is actually Gu Yunxian's person!Obviously they lured her out, is she afraid that His Majesty won't be able to find out where it is?To question her in front of so many people!
When Lu Chuan heard the words, he also felt that it made sense, so he said, "What Miss Bo Mei said is true, how dare I ask Lady Gu why she went to the Plum Garden today?"

Ye Cairen's heart immediately hung high.

"Because," Gu Yunxian's voice was dry, "Today is the first day of the twelfth lunar month. In previous years, I would go to the plum garden to pick plum blossoms for the queen mother in person. Although I have been imprisoned in the palace this year, it is still..."

Ye Cairen never expected that she would say that, and was stunned for a moment.

"Your Majesty," a voice as soft as the spring breeze blowing over the blue waves rang out, instantly quieting the hall, "I think, what happened today is probably a misunderstanding, Madam Gu just accidentally fell down, and Xing Rouhua was frightened, that's why she came out." This shit happened. It was an accident."

no respond.

"Your Majesty?" the voice called again tentatively.

"Huh?" Gu Yunxian heard his voice in a trance, it seemed that his sanity was not here just now, but went to a far away place.

Everyone waited for a while, but the emperor did not answer the question of the woman beside him, but stared at Gu Yunxian who was kneeling in the center of the hall.She has maintained this posture since he entered the West Temple.

He said slowly, "Why do you keep your head down?"

Gu Yunxian was taken aback.This voice was the same as she remembered, three parts indifferent, three parts lazy, three parts gentle, and one part thoughtful, just like him, always contradictory, so she would never understand.

"Concubine..."

"Head up."

His voice was still calm, but with a force that could not be resisted.She raised her head passively, but her eyes still drooped, falling on the hem of his black robe.

He frowned: "Look into my eyes."

"As a concubine and a sinful woman, I dare not..."

He snorted impatiently.

She shivered all over, and immediately met his eyes.

Those eyes were dark and deep, like an ice pool with an invisible bottom, with faint light floating.She thought of the wedding night, when he stood in front of her and recited the "Que Fan Poems" one by one, and she finally put down the fan amidst the booing of others, her cheeks were flushed, she was too shy to look at him.Ordinarily, the groom would feel pity for his bride when he saw his bride like this, but he didn't, as if he was afraid that she would not be shy enough, he squatted down, held her chin with one hand, and forced her to look at him.

At that time, his eyes were also like this, deep and unpredictable.But she was too stupid to understand at the time, but she just felt that the way he gazed at her was so gentle that her heart almost melted.

Suppressing the bitterness in her heart, she lightly lowered her eyelashes: "This concubine made a big mistake, and I have no face to see you again, please forgive me."

He just felt a strange feeling welling up in his heart.

When he turned around, he found that the woman beside him was still looking at him, her beautiful black eyebrows slightly frowned.

He laughed: "Ashu is right, what happened today should be a misunderstanding."

Zhen Jieyu and Jing Fushu smiled.

Turning his head to look at Gu Yunxian in the middle of the hall, he said slowly, "What do you think?"

Gu Yunxian was silent for a while, and took a deep breath: "Your Majesty is right, presumably the concubine made a mistake in her panic this afternoon, and no one pushed me. I accidentally fell down by myself, and Xing Rouhua was also hurt."

The weird feeling is even worse.

He looked at her silently for a while, then stood up: "It's just a misunderstanding. I still have papers to read, so let's go first."

Everyone rushed to send His Majesty off, and when he was gone, Gu Yunxian was still kneeling on the ground, but smelled a fragrant wind blowing his face, and a pair of silk shoes stopped in front of him.

When she raised her head, Zhen Jieyu had a smile on her lips, and those beautiful eyes that seemed to be filled with tears were staring at her.

She remembered that two years ago, she met her for the first time across Bise Liusi.At that time, she also looked at herself like this, her clear eyes were full of determination and sarcasm.

"Sister Gu has lost weight, so it's not easy to come to Jingsheng Pavilion?" Her words were like a yellow warbler, mellow and charming.

Gu Yunxian smiled: "Thanks to the Empress Dowager's grace, I can have this place to live. I am already satisfied and dare not complain anymore."

Zhen Jieyu nodded: "Of course it's best for my sister to be content and happy, otherwise the days to come will be very difficult."

"Thank you sister for your concern." She said, "I jumped out of this vortex and saved my life. My sister's future is dangerous and unpredictable. Everything must be cherished."

Zhen Jieyu smiled and repeated: "I saved my life."

Gu Yunxian didn't seem to understand, just smiled.Zhen Jieyu took two glances at her and walked away.The concubines looked at the former mistress and hesitated for a while, but still did not dare to speak to her, and all followed Zhen Jieyu away.

Bo Meiren walked at the end, and when everyone had gone out, she looked at Gu Yunxian like a knife: "Don't think that today's affairs are over!"

Gu Yunxian's expression did not change: "Bo Meiren is right, today's matter will not end like this. You have to remember what you said."
