Rebirth after waste

Chapter 67

Jing Fushu's complexion turned pale instantly.Her chest rose and fell violently, and she bit her lower lip tightly, as if desperately restraining her emotions.

Gu Yunxian looked at her indifferently, without saying a word.

Jing Fushu actually loves the emperor's conjecture, which has been floating in her mind for a long time, and it is only today that she is really sure.

She didn't know how she felt at the moment, she just thought over and over in her heart, so it was so, so it was.

It turned out that she was in such a mood.

Under tremendous pressure to enter the palace as a concubine, the reason is not for glory and wealth, but more importantly, for the man she loves.

No wonder she hated herself so much.Because she is his main wife, in the eyes of the world, she is the only empress who can stand dignifiedly by the emperor's side, and no matter how favored Jing Fushu is, she is just a concubine living under others.

She can't tolerate such things, so she must get rid of herself.

But what was the use of getting rid of her?
Did she think she could sit back and relax without her?

Did she think that a wealthy emperor would only guard one woman?

Or do you think that ruthless man will really be infatuated with a certain woman?
How stupid.

Just as stupid as she used to be.

"Have you finished?" Jing Fushu said softly.

"It's almost there." Gu Yunxian said lightly.

"Then please pardon me and concubine to leave." Yifu body, she did not wait for her answer, turned around and walked out.

Gu Yunxian looked at her back.Her footsteps were a little unsteady, as if she was eager to escape, but she didn't want to lose face by running too fast.

She just looked at her like this, her eyes were like a desert covered with snow, cold and desolate.

Are you sad?

This feeling of being slowly replaced by others, this feeling of being no longer needed, is it really sad?
Sad is right.

That's how I got through it step by step.Stay until the last moment, until you drink that cup of poisoned wine.

Since you taught me not to mistrust unworthy people, let me teach you now.

It's just that you have to pay the same price as I used to.

At the cost of your life.

Unfortunately, you probably won't have the chance to do it all over again.

The emperor did not come that night.

According to the usual practice, today is a good day for Gu Yunxian, and the emperor should come to accompany her, especially since she is still promoted.

Ah Ci couldn't hold her breath, and quietly sent someone to inquire, and was relieved to learn that His Majesty had not summoned any concubines.

During dinner, Gu Yunxian's face was as usual. A Ci was afraid that she would be worried, so she explained in a rambling manner, "My servant heard from Mr. Lu's apprentice, He Jin, that His Majesty has been busy with court affairs recently. Tonight is also going to discuss matters overnight with your lords, so I didn’t come to see Miss. Miss, don’t worry, Your Majesty treats Miss very well now, even the former Concubine Zhengui..."

"Aci." Gu Yunxian interrupted her suddenly, "Did you not listen to a word I told you?"

"Huh?" Ah Ci was dumbfounded.

Gu Yunxian looked at her with a rare indifference, "How many times have I told you, don't be reckless in everything. Don't speak so fast, think more, and act cautiously. I think you have completely ignored it!"

Ah Ci is Gu Yunxian's dowry maid, and she has shared adversity with her, so Gu Yunxian has a deep affection for her, and has never said a word to her.It really has never happened before that she faced her without any false words in front of a full hall like today.

Ah Ci's face turned white and red, and tears were about to flow out.

Gu Yunxian forced herself to harden her heart, and didn't bother to comfort her.

Turning her eyes to Huang Zhong who looked a little nervous, she frowned, "And you."

Huang Zhong smiled and said: "Chen... I haven't made any mistakes recently!"

"No mistakes? Yes, you didn't make any big mistakes." Gu Yunxian said indifferently, "But I asked you, do you remember what you promised when you came to serve me on the first day?"

Huang Zhong knelt down with a "plop" and trembled for a long time before he said slowly: "I promised that I will be careful in my words and deeds in the future, and not bring trouble to my mother."

"Do you still remember?" Gu Yunxian smiled, "As long as you remember. Ask yourself, can your performance these days be able to bear the words 'cautious in words and deeds'?"

Although she didn't speak harshly at the moment, the pressure in her eyes was overwhelming, and there was a sense of awe in her, which made Huang Zhong's forehead sweat.

He naturally knew that he was a little crazy during this time.It's no wonder that he was originally an eunuch next to the Empress Dowager, but he was suddenly assigned to serve the Empress Dowager. He thought his future was hopeless, and he became very disheartened.Who would have thought that the new lord would be so competitive, soaring all the way, and now he seems to have the stance of dominating the harem.Satisfied, he became a little more arrogant outside.

But the first time they met, Gu Yunxian had seriously warned him that if he couldn't control himself, he shouldn't stay by her side.

Thinking about it this way, Huang Zhongxin felt even more empty, with his head buried low, unable to speak a word.

"I don't like to talk too many times. This is the last time. Whether it's you or others, listen to me. Hanzhang Palace can't tolerate frivolous people. If you want to stay by my side and do things, just give me I'll restrain myself." Gu Yunxian said lightly, "Otherwise, don't blame me for not thinking of the relationship between master and servant."

These words let them go.

Huang Zhongxin loosened his head and kowtowed sincerely, "No! Please remember, I will never do it again!"

The rest of the palace people also knelt down and kowtowed, "Please remember!"

At night, it was Cai Jia who brought the palace servants to attend to Gu Yunxian's arrangement.

She sat on the embroidered pier, let Cai Jia loosen her long hair, and said slowly, "Where is Ah Ci?"

Cai Jia hesitated for a moment, "The servant just saw her in a daze in the yard by herself!"

"It must be a temper tantrum." Gu Yunxian was a little helpless, "She is like this, a child with a temper, and she will not grow up when she is old."

"No, Madam." Cai Jia hurriedly defended her, "Aci is not angry with Madam, she is angry with herself! Just now, my servant thought she was upset, and ran to comfort her. In the end, she and my servant She said that she was just annoyed that she couldn't keep her memory, which made the empress unhappy."

Cai Jia carefully looked at Gu Yunxian's expression, "A Ci is loyal to the empress, and she will never blame you, the empress."

Gu Yunxian was silent for a moment, then smiled faintly, "I know." He sighed softly, "The chef prepared goose rolls tonight, you can take a plate back to her later, she likes this. But don't say I gave it to you. If she is still not happy, you can untie her."

Cai Jia smiled, "I understand."

Gu Yunxian looked at himself in the mirror, and the scene of Ah Ci combing her hair every day when she was locked up in Jingsheng Pavilion flashed through her mind.It was so dilapidated there, there wasn't even a decent dresser in the room, only a bronze mirror.Ah Ci put it on the dining table, pretending that it was the dressing table.At that time, she was depressed all day long and didn't like to take care of makeup.Aci always had to spend a lot of effort every day to beg her to sit down and let her do her hair.

In the quiet and secluded Jingsheng Pavilion, Ah Ci held her blue hair with her thin white hands, and said seriously: "Miss, you must be beautiful. The first time A Ci saw Miss, she felt that Miss Ah Ci is the most beautiful person I have ever met. Don't worry, Miss, Ah Ci will always be with you."

At that time, she was her only comfort left.

Of course she knew that she was loyal to her, but she couldn't always indulge her like this.Otherwise, if one day she gets into trouble, she may not be able to protect her, and she may even be implicated by her.

The two of them must never return to the miserable situation they were in at the beginning.

That's why I took her under the knife today.Everyone in Hanzhang Hall knew that Ah Ci was her confidant. She taught her a lesson first, and then went to teach Huang Zhong a lesson. It would not hurt Huang Zhong's face too much, and it was easy to accept it psychologically.

Huang Zhong is quick and capable, greedy for money and ambitious.The latter one is his shortcoming, but it is also his advantage.For Gu Yunxian, as long as a person has a weakness, she is not afraid of finding a way to control him.

She believes that her future is bright now, and Huang Zhong will never give up such a good backer and switch to others.So don't worry about him secretly playing tricks.

She gave them a good beating in public today, and then asked Liu Shanggong to use the methods used to discipline the palace people in the past. Knowing the advantages and disadvantages, there will be changes.

At that time, it will not be too late for her to go to Anwei Aci.

It took so much effort, because the temperament of these two people is really dangerous. If they don't restrain them in time, they may cause trouble.

Her overall plan must not be ruined by this.

In particular, she is about to start a very dangerous thing.

Xue Changsong would go to Hanzhang Hall to ask for Gu Yunxian's pulse every fifth and tenth of every month, but he was not allowed to leave after the pulse was done as usual on this day.

Gu Yunxian smiled and said: "A new batch of tea has arrived from Hanzhang Palace, among which are the best Qujiang thin slices. Master Xue wants to taste it."

Xue Changsong naturally understood that she had something to say to him, so he said calmly, "I dare not say no to my mother's invitation."

Gu Yunxian smiled and said: "That's really great. Cai Zhi Cai Jia, quickly bring the tea set."

Xue Changsong didn't react until the palace servants had set up the tea set.He watched Gu Yunxian's movements, and said in astonishment: "Your Majesty wants to cook tea herself? This is impossible! How can I bear it!"

Gu Yunxian smiled reassuringly, "My lord, there is no need to panic. I am like this only because I cherish this rare tea and worry that others will fail to make this famous tea."

When Xue Changsong heard it, he immediately understood.

The Qujiang thin slice that Gu Yunxian asked him to drink is one of the top ten famous teas in the world. The raw material is the first-class alpine cloud tea from Fengjia and Tianmen. After steaming and cooling, it is pressed into the shape of copper coins.The finished tea leaves have eliminated the astringency and retting of black tea, and become extremely fragrant, and the aroma is pure and long-lasting, the taste is mellow and strong, and the soup color is bright orange and red.

Tea is the best quality, so the skill of the person who cooks it must not be bad, otherwise it would be a waste of money.

Gu Yunxian's tea art was taught by the Empress Dowager herself, and it is considered top-notch in the palace, so it is natural for her to cook it.

Seeing that he no longer objected, Gu Yunxian smiled slightly and moved his hands.

Xue Changsong looked at Gu Yunxian's graceful dancing style of cooking tea, and felt more and more uneasy in his heart.

She is a bit strange today, she suddenly stays behind and invites herself to drink tea, something must follow.

It must not be easy for her to be so solemn.
