in the sound of swallows

Chapter 161

Leaving aside the discussion of whether Gu Chaodong looks like a jujube, it is true that his mind is full of jujubes.

It turned out that when the prime minister's mansion was fighting for the position, Gu Chaodong's strategizing was not bad. He knew that he married Shen Guiya who was pregnant in order to strengthen the position of the Eastern Court, and he also knew that he secretly used Shen Guiya's hand to kill Xu Mengdie's child. It made Gu Chaonan no longer able to compete with him for his father's attention.

But ever since he wanted status and regretted losing Shen Guiyan, his whole mind was not right.He is clearly not a lover, but he likes to pretend to be a lover, moving himself with emotion, but what he brings to others is endless troubles.

The folks have already started to spread the saying that "Shen's return to Yan does not abide by the three obediences and four virtues", and the officials in the court inevitably looked at each other, looked at Gu Chaodong, and smiled ambiguously.

Prime Minister Gu punished him to go back and kneel in the ancestral hall.

"Father told you a long time ago that it's not yours, so don't worry about it anymore. It seems that you don't take father's words to heart at all!" Gu Chengxiang was furious: "Now you and Concubine Yan Guiqiao return to the bridge, the road It’s been a long time since you’ve come home, and you’ve married a new wife, why do you want to cause trouble for Concubine Yan and the Emperor?”

Gu Chaodong was also at a loss, he didn't remember who the picture was for, let alone how it got out.

However, some of the people outside were right. He still missed Shen Guiyan, and thought that maybe one day, she would be able to leave the palace. At that time, he could abandon this beautiful woman and let her roam the world. it is good.

She was unwilling to throw those beautiful women to him, and he was also unwilling. They had intercourse only a few times, just like strangers.He is now a big official, and he has room to display his ambitions. The only thing he lacks is a person who is sincerely by his side.

It took him so long to realize that Yan'er was the one he most wanted to work with for the rest of his life.

If the rumors this time made the emperor angry and put Yan'er in the cold palace, then he just happened to find an opportunity to take Yan'er away.

Gu Chaodong knelt in the ancestral hall, not feeling ashamed at all, but rather optimistic.

Judging from this momentum, Shen Guiyan is unlikely to be elected, and the people have started to buy votes again.

"Everything is under control." This is what Shen Guiwu said in his letter to Wen Guozhang.

Wen Guozhang wrote back and asked him: "The Shen family is your own sister who belongs to Yan, do you want her to be the queen?"

Shen Guiwu said: "The subordinates are only loyal to the father-in-law's affairs, and my younger sister, Shen, is not sincerely the emperor. When the father-in-law's affairs are completed, and avenge the mother's revenge for the subordinates, my brother and sister are willing to retreat to the mountains and forests to live a peaceful life."

Wen Guozhang was marching in Zhengzhou, and when he saw this letter, he smiled heartily.

Shen Guiwu is a talent, and he can withstand temptation, so he is a good one to rely on.

It was time to go to the capital, but Wen Guozhang stopped in Zhengzhou, and the garrison waited, not knowing what to do.

Concubine Fu Gui was in a very good mood, walked to Concubine Hua's Palace, and said with a smile: "Sister, have you heard the rumors outside?"

Concubine Hua nodded her head: "Sister, you have a good plan, but where did the construction plan that caused such an uproar come from?"

Concubine Fu Gui gave a cold snort, glanced around and saw that there was no one around, and whispered: "Someone got it by accident and gave it to a concubine. The person with the most votes must be a concubine. I hope my sister will help her a little bit more." , once she reaches that position, my sister will not treat her badly."

Concubine Hua sighed and said: "I understand that I have given up on it. In terms of family background, it is impossible for me to be better than anyone in this palace. It's just my sister. Don't blame my sister for not reminding you. Look at Yan. The status of noble concubine in the emperor's heart, even if the words outside are difficult to hear, the emperor has not blamed Concubine Yan at all. My sister is just afraid that even if you sit in the back seat, you will be restrained by Concubine Yan."

Fu Guipin frowned, she didn't know this, that's why she wanted to get close to Concubine Hua.Concubine Hua has no chance of winning the throne, so she can be her assistant.

Shen Guiyan had been in the Yonghe Palace for too long.

Concubine Hua in this room is not pure-minded, and concubine Fu Gui in that room is the same. They both want to take advantage of each other, and they are also afraid of being used by the other party.

"The weather is fine these days, why don't we invite Concubine Yan, let's go swimming in the lake." Concubine Hua said softly, "It's also good to ease the recent serious atmosphere in the palace."

"Okay." Concubine Fu Gui replied, "Concubine Concubine Yan is going to invite Concubine Yan."

For a cruise ship, Taiye Lake is not big, so there must be only four people on the boat.When Concubine Fu Gui went to Yonghe Palace to respectfully invite Shen Guiyan, Shen Guiyan readily agreed.

"Your Majesty." Baoshan frowned and said, "Recently, it's a time of nervousness. Why do you want to let go with your body?"

Shen Guiyan tidied up the baskets on her stomach, took out all the cotton, and put the cowhide airbags in: "If they don't go out, they will have other ways to get Ben Gong involved. They are all fighting for the position together." , It is better to be active than passive.”

"But..." Baoshan frowned: "The slaves can't follow on board, how can the master handle it alone?"

Two to one, Concubine Hua and Concubine Fu are not cheap.Shen Guiyan frowned slightly, this is indeed a problem, the cruise ships in the palace all have four seats, who else can she take?

"Take the concubine." Gao stuck out half of his head from the partition, and said with a smile: "The concubine will go with the empress. If there is anything, the concubine will stand in the way."

"Jinxiu." Shen Guiyan was startled: "How did you come here?"

Gao Jinxiu stood up and said, "Recently, rumors have been spreading in and out of the palace. The concubine was worried about the empress, and she didn't want to make too much publicity, so she always ran to the empress's palace. But now that the empress is alone and helpless, it is natural for the concubine to come here. "

Seeing Gao Jinxiu, Shen Guiyan really let go of her heart.Because Gao Jinxiu had been protecting her since she was a child, and now that she is inconvenient, it is much better if she is with Gao Shi.

After thinking about it, Shen Guiyan nodded and said, "Okay, you go with me."

Gao Shi squeezed her hands, she will definitely protect Yan'er!
When going there, Shen Guiyan made arrangements for the four eunuchs to stand guard in the directions of the east, west, north, south, four shores, and even brought a one-person boat along with the painting boat, and the eunuchs who specialize in saving water were in it.

She had already thought that there were only a few methods these women could use, either by pushing her into the water, or by themselves.Either way, a remedy is prepared.

She still doesn't want to go into the water if she can.

As a result, when we went to Taiye Lake, Concubine Hua and Concubine Fu were there, but Concubine Hua said she was seasick and waited for them on the shore.

Concubine Fu looked at Concubine Hua for a while, then boarded the boat.Shen Guiyan brought Gao Jinxiu up as well, and the remaining seat was simply given to Wan Qing, the servant girl next to Fu Guipin.

The boat cruised on the Taiye Lake, until the voices on the shore could not be heard clearly, Fu Guifei said: "Does the empress feel that the concubine is uneasy and kind?"

Shen Guiyan looked at the glint of the lake, and said in a very good mood: "No."

Weird.

Concubine Fu Gui sighed, took a look at Gao Jinxiu and said, "If there are only concubines and concubines, concubines can speak directly if they have something to say."

"It's okay for you to speak up now." Shen Guiyan said: "Gao Shi is not a talkative person."

Looking at Gao Jinxiu one more time, Fu Guipin pursed her lips and said, "Some time ago, the peace was gone, and the concubine went to ask Sister Hua what was going on, and Sister Hua said that the emperor intended to protect you, so I went with you. Both Rong and Qingzhu's deaths have not been investigated."

Shen Guiyan was slightly surprised, this is a good alliance. Didn't Concubine Fu Gui and Concubine Hua get very close?Why do you say such things again.

"But the concubine went back and thought about it carefully. The imperial concubine is not such a vicious person. It is very likely that the concubine Hua wants you and me to kill each other so that she can reap the benefits." Fu Guifei straightened her waist and said softly: "Now that the queen's position is about to fall, the concubine Hua can't get a share, so she waits and sees from the shore. The empress and concubines are people on the water. If they really fight, it will make the people on the shore proud. The empress thinks Woolen cloth?"

Dare to feel that these two are fighting each other, each of them wants to use her to bring down the other.She shouldn't be called Shen Guiyan, she should be called Shen Wrench.

"It's rare for my younger sister to think of going elsewhere on such a beautiful day." Shen Guiyan didn't answer her, but said: "Let's let nature take its course."

Never reveal your desires and ideas in front of your competitors, this is the way to survive, no matter where you are.

Fu Guipin was taken aback, frowned slightly, and glanced at Wan Qing beside her.

Wan Qing nodded, turned her head and went out to order the boatman: "Go to the middle of the lake."

Shen Guiyan looked in the direction of the boat, and he could see all the palace pavilions, row upon row, really magnificent.The water in the lake is not too cold after a day of sun.

When the boat reached the middle of the lake, Shen Guiyan was ready, but unexpectedly, it was too exciting. The punter jumped into the lake and unloaded a board under the boat.

Good technique!
Concubine Fu Gui didn't panic, felt the ship sinking a little bit, looked at her and said: "My Lady, I hope what happened today can help you and me get rid of the same dissident. There is nothing wrong with it, as long as Your Ladyship is willing to cooperate."

Everyone on the shore saw the punter dive into the boat and wreck the boat, then dive and escape.Several empresses are still sitting on the boat.The center of the lake was too far away from the shore, everyone was at a loss, Baoshan ran the fastest, and immediately went to report to the emperor.

There is also a small raft next to the sunken ship, on which only one person can sit.Just as Shen Guiyan wanted to go up, she was stopped by Fu Guibin: "Let the noble people go up."

Bitter meat trick, not bitter meat, how can people fall into the trap.

If she had an ordinary body, it would be fine for Shen Guiyan to fall into the water, but she still has a child in her stomach, so she doesn't want to take any risks at all.If we don't fall into the water, we won't fall into the water, shall we?

No, Fu Guipin dragged her and jumped into the gentle Taiye Lake.

Gu Chaobei was discussing important matters with Yuwen Changqing, but Baoshan's urgent voice scared him almost out of his mind: "Your Majesty! The imperial concubine and empress were taken to swim in the lake by them. The boat broke down and sank right away! "

Gu Chaobei stood up "teng", but Yuwen Changqing ran faster than him.
