in the sound of swallows

Chapter 121 If you don't like it, just wipe it lightly

Tomorrow morning?Gu Chaobei raised his eyebrows, not understanding why the Queen Mother would say such a thing.He was going to push down the New Deal this morning, so what if it's tomorrow?will not change.

"I still have important matters to discuss with the ministers. The Empress Dowager can go back first, and they all have to stay." Gu Chaobei said.

Empress Dowager Wen touched the golden armor on her hand, squinted at him, and said: "The emperor insists on going his own way, and the Ai family can't help it. We can't lock the emperor up, right?"

Gu Chaobei stood on the spot and greeted her: "Mother, let's go back to rest earlier."

"Okay, in your eyes, an old man like me should rest and have no strength to control you." Empress Dowager Wen chuckled, turned around and walked out with a flick of her phoenix robe: "The emperor will come again in the evening." Greetings from Aijia Palace."

"Respectfully send off the queen mother." Gu Chaobei heaved a sigh of relief, watching the door of the imperial study room open, and the veterans outside stood on both sides.

Empress Dowager Wen glanced at those people, sneered, and went to the East Palace holding the hand of Nanny Fanghua.

Gu Chaobei announced all the veterans to discuss matters, and it took three hours.When it was time to have lunch, his heart suddenly jumped. Looking at the ministers in front of him, he said: "The new policy will be implemented, just as I said just now. All the lovers should step down first. Starting today, all the guards in the mansion will Be stricter, understand?"

Prime Minister Gu felt a slight chill behind his back, he bowed his hands and responded first, and the rest of the people followed suit.

After driving to Xiuzhuang Palace, Gu Chaobei felt more and more uneasy.When the Queen Mother left, he always felt that something would happen.

"Zuiyun, hasn't there been any news from the harem for such a long time in the morning?"

Zhuiyun shook his head: "This subordinate has been guarding outside the imperial study room, and has not seen anyone coming."

Rest in peace of mind, if there is anything, at least someone from the harem will talk about it.

As a result, as soon as he stepped into Xiuzhuang Palace, a strong smell of blood came over his face.

Gu Chaobei was shocked, his eyes were blood red.The corpses of the court ladies and eunuchs were scattered all over the place, the nearest one was at the door, as if trying to run out, but was stabbed from behind.

"Your Majesty!" Zhuiyun gasped in fright, and quickly supported Gu Chaobei.

The Xiuzhuang Palace was quiet and dead silent.The blood on the ground flowed like a river, soaking the soil where the flowers grew next to it.Gu Chaobei pushed away Zhuiyun, and immediately ran to the side hall.As soon as he opened the door, he saw a female corpse hanging on the beam.

The dignified palace attire was struggling a bit, with a white silk wrapped around her neck and tied in a knot, as if it was first wrapped around her neck and then pulled up alive.

All the strength in Gu Chaobei's body disappeared completely, and he almost fell to the ground, staring blankly at the corpse, unable to recover.

"The emperor will go to court tomorrow, if you still have this idea, the Ai family will not stop you."

Empress Dowager Wen's words were still in his ears, Gu Chaobei opened his mouth to breathe, but he couldn't get any air, and let out a long howl almost in despair.

"what--"

Zhuiyun was also shocked, and hurriedly looked around to see if there were other people.Everything in this room was swept up, as if after a lot of struggle.But there was nothing but this corpse on the beam.

What about the treasure fan?With a heavy heart in his heart, Zhuiyun stepped forward and slowly lowered the white silk tied to one side to catch the woman's body.

"Hiss." Looking at his face, Zhuiyun took a deep breath and was even more shocked: "Ms. Zhuang Concubine!"

It wasn't Shen Guiyan!
Concubine Zhuang's face was already pale, she was completely out of breath, she was gone.Hearing Zhuiyun's shout, Gu Chaobei stumbled into the door and stared at Concubine Zhuang's body with wide eyes.

How could she have died in Yan'er's side hall?Concubine Zhuang is good at martial arts, she has a gentle figure, how could such a girl who can dance die?
He was relieved, the person who died was not Yan'er.But when she saw that it was Concubine Zhuang, boundless anger surged up in her heart.

Empress Dowager Wen.

Today he just said that it is enough to have Concubine Zhuang, and she directly washed Xiuzhuang Palace with blood.In this world, she really can do whatever she wants.

Concubine Zhuang went with her eyes closed, as if she was already willing.He didn't know what he went through before he was alive, but seeing the white silk strangled tightly around his neck, Gu Chaobei's eyes turned red.

The white fox came into the palace to help him. Such a clever woman said she was willing to serve him in exchange for the rest of her life without worrying about food and clothing.She understands what he wants to do, what he wants, and even what he likes in his heart.Advancing and retreating well, always helping him to cover up just right.

Before he had time to reward her, she disappeared like that.

"Your Majesty." Luo Wei came to Xiuzhuang Palace, looked at the emperor's back in a daze, and said softly: "This subordinate is here to report on behalf of the general, Concubine Yan is fine."

Nothing, nothing is fine.Gu Chaobei smiled lightly, and reached out to hug Concubine Zhuang.

Shen Guiyan felt uneasy from today on, the emperor and the empress dowager were in conflict, and she didn't know what the outcome would be.

"Bao Shan, go ahead and watch, if there is any wind, come back and tell me."

"Okay." Bao Shan agreed, and went out with her skirt in hand.

Not long after the morning court started, she came back in a hurry, and said excitedly: "The emperor and the queen mother have quarreled, and now they are moving to the imperial study!"

Shen Guiyan frowned and was thinking about something with her head down when Concubine Zhuang came to her.

"I think you are also an early riser." Concubine Zhuang came in with a smile and said, "I want to ask Concubine Yan about something."

Shen Guiyan gave up her seat with a smile: "What's wrong with Concubine Zhuang?"

Concubine Zhuang sat down beside her, put the bamboo basket in her arms on the table, pursed her lips and said, "Is it boring in the palace? I learned how to play nets from them, but I haven't learned these since I was a child, so I don't know much about it. Can you teach me?"

That's what she's good at.Shen Guiyan nodded, sat down and looked at the things in her bamboo basket.There are quite a few bright yellow strings, twisted crookedly, and there are some bright pearls beside them, but they don't look good when they are strung on, and they look like they are discarded.

"Your Majesty watched the concubine come to make a call." Shen Guiyan showed her the line.

Concubine Zhuang blushed a little, and said embarrassingly: "Actually, I thought that I have never been a female worker, so it would be good if I could make something for the emperor. It's a pity that you are clumsy. Otherwise, Concubine Yan, you can just make one and I will give it to you." emperor."

Shen Guiyan's eyes brightened slightly: "Okay."

I didn't get the belt last time, so it would be nice to get a net.

One of the two concentrates on beating and the other concentrates on watching. When they are about to finish it, Bao Shan slams into the door without knowing the rules at all.

"What's wrong?" Shen Guiyan raised her head.

Bao Fan closed the door latch with a pale face, looked up at her and Concubine Zhuang and said, "Nurse Fanghua came here with her guards and many eunuchs! It looks aggressive, and the visitors are not good."

Shen Guiyan frowned: "The Queen Mother has returned to the East Palace?"

"It seems to be back." Baoshan said: "And Fengyan is furious."

Oops.

Shen Guiyan's heart sank, and Concubine Zhuang also stood up.The screams of the palace people have already sounded outside.

That's right, it was a scream, the heart-piercing cry of being killed, it was horrifying to hear.Soon, there was a knock on the door of the side hall.

Concubine Zhuang pushed Shen Guiyan to the window, and said in a low voice: "Hurry up before they block the window, this is the backyard, and the Xiuzhuang Palace can be found with the water tank. Precious fan, go Protect your master."

"What about you?" Shen Guiyan frowned.

"I know martial arts, I can stand up for a while." Concubine Zhuang smiled and helped her to get out of the window: "Don't talk too much, go quickly, otherwise you have something to do, the emperor will not let me go."

Shen Guiyan nodded, and Baoshan came out with her, and the two of them narrowly escaped the Xiuzhuang Palace.As soon as he landed, he heard the sound of the side hall door being knocked open.

She paused, and Shen Guiyan looked back, but someone behind her had already found them climbing over the wall: "Go after them!"

Baoshan pulled Shen Guiyan up and ran away.

The guards at the back chased after him like hounds.Shen Guiyan pulled the precious fan back and walked through the flower bed.The woman is small and nimble, and can run fast in flower beds.The man was tall and tall, and he bumped into many flowers and trees, so he naturally slowed down.

This is Shen Guiyan's fastest run in almost 16 years.

When they reached the vestibule, the master and servant were almost lost, but a hand stretched out from the carriage parked at the side, and pulled Shen Guiyan and Bao Shan up.

"You..." Shen Guiyan's eyes were full of horror, but when she turned around, she saw Yuwen Changqing's face.

"It's okay, you guys go with me first." Yuwen Changqing looked at Shen Guiyan and heaved a sigh of relief, covered his eyes and smiled: "I've been thinking about how I can go in and save you, but I didn't expect you to have I ran out on my own."

Shen Guiyan felt cold all over, grabbed Yuwen Changqing and said: "Do you know that the Queen Mother is going to attack us?"

Yuwen Changqing smiled wryly: "Your Majesty, don't get angry. I didn't know how long it was. The Empress Dowager dispatched troops from me, so I let me know. I want to know that the Emperor will not have time."

"Concubine Zhuang is still in Xiuzhuang Palace." Shen Guiyan looked at him and said, "Can you save her?"

Yuwen Changqing closed his eyes: "The minister will send the empress out of the palace first, and the rest, the empress does not have to worry about it."

The carriage quickly left the palace.

Naturally, it was Yuwen Mansion. Shen Guiyan was still in shock, and she didn't know who was dragged into the house. When she came to her senses, Han Jiangxue's worried face was already in front of her.

"It's safe, don't be afraid." Han Jiangxue hugged her and said in a low voice: "First change your palace attire, and then wait for news from the palace. When the emperor knows about the Xiuzhuang Palace, he will come to pick you up of."

Nodding blankly, followed by changing clothes, pretending, Shen Guiyan looked at the gloomy sky outside, and always felt that something bad had happened.

The emperor carried the body of Concubine Zhuang and walked all the way into the East Palace of Empress Dowager Wen.

Empress Dowager Wen sat on the soft couch, watched him come in calmly, only glanced at Concubine Zhuang's body, and said with a light smile, "Emperor, is it hurting?"

Not only is it painful, it is simply too painful.Gu Chaobei looked up at her and asked, "Why does the queen mother do this?"

Empress Dowager Wen giggled twice, and answered very lightly: "Aijia doesn't like her, and things that don't like can be wiped away."
