Your Majesty, I'm Guilty

Gu Wenjun took a deep breath and tried to get some courage from the depressed atmosphere.

The airtight carriage was full of Xiao Yunyu's breath, which made Gu Wenjun feel nervous.

There is a problem that she still has to ask first.

"Your Majesty, how did the Empress Dowager die?"

Xiao Yunyu's eyes were getting cold. He sat on the side near the door and stared at Gu Wenjun, who was shrinking in the innermost side. He was trying his best to avoid the relationship. When his eyebrows were raised, Xiao Yunyu's jaw moved slightly, his teeth tightened, and gave an inconspicuous sneer.

Then he didn't answer directly, but raised his hand and half opened the window curtain between his deep eyebrows and eyes, and ordered him to go down: "go!"

Qin Chuan is the man who sits in front of the car and drives the horse. He is the imperial coachman for the time being.

It is most appropriate for him to protect his majesty. If Qin Chuan had other important tasks at the time of the incident, he should have followed him to meet Gu Wenjun.

But Qin Chuan's mind was not on his majesty, so he was half a beat late and suddenly whipped his whip.

"Ah, yes!"

Fortunately, in the carriage, Xiao Yunyu is facing Gu Wenjun coldly. He doesn't find Qin Chuan absent-minded at all. Otherwise, his Majesty must be unhappy.

As soon as the whip made of four golden vines was waved, it made a crisp friction sound in the air, which slightly attracted several early wharf people to see, but they soon looked elsewhere.

This is the wharf for entering and leaving Beijing. The traffic is normal.

The horse in the carriage was also a good thousand mile horse. With a sound of "Hoo", he ran to the deep palace, and soon disappeared from the wharf with more and more people.

The subordinates who accompanied him all the way were shocked: "Your Majesty took Gu Wenjun on the bus and was willing to take people back to the palace!"

"It seems that this Gu Wenjun really won your Majesty's favor. If you don't give your majesty face, you can easily get understanding and still get close to your majesty."

"It's really cultivated as a confidant."

"As long as Gu Wenjun can get one or two and a half honors in the joint examination, there is no need to worry about his official position."

They have their own thoughts, but one idea is common.

"Never annoy Gu Wenjun. Everything related to Gu Wenjun is listed as a priority. Nothing is big or small. In short, nothing can happen to him!"

The heart turns a thousand times, but the face is not obvious at all. When your majesty leaves, the abandoned dark guard naturally has other ways to follow.

No delay.

One of them took away the old imperial doctor: "Gu Wenjun has other things. I'll take you back first and wait for the Lord's summons."

Now, all the people left, leaving only ah Wu and Xueyan.

The two of them were meant to be killed by your majesty. They were saved by Gu Wenjun before they came back. They have been completely counted as Gu Wenjun's people.

Your majesty didn't speak, and Gu Wenjun didn't leave a letter. Xiao Yunyu's dark guards wouldn't say anything to them. They just ran away.

"Wait, hey!"

Xueyan chased after her, but immediately shut her mouth and stopped talking. She wanted to ask the old imperial doctor something. The young master took no time to hide his physical condition, but Xueyan was worried. She was almost scared to death when she saw Gu Wenjun spit blood with her own eyes.

But Xueyan dare not disobey the young master.

Gu Wenjun is much smarter than her. The young master doesn't want to say. Naturally, he has the young master's plan. Xueyan stopped in time and watched those people leave with the royal doctor.

Ah Wu was still silent. He looked down at the ground and stood like a slender wooden stick.

"The young master has been taken away. What shall we do?" Xueyan asked hesitantly, looking at ah Wu. Ah Wu still didn't speak. He still pressed his lips, immersed in the low mood of self reproach.

It seems as if Gu Wenjun would have been waiting here without seeing him.

"I'm a woman. I can't go to Wenshan Academy. Otherwise, we'll go back to the small courtyard where the young master placed in the capital first?" Xueyan asked carefully. She had a child entrusted there. She had already returned like an arrow and couldn't wait to go back and pick up the baby.

Ah Wu did not respond, but acquiesced.

Xueyan hesitated. Her origin was not good. At first, she was ordered by Xiao Qingle to calculate the young master. Later, the body was also killed, unclean, and gave birth to an evil seed.

The young master never said anything, but she was afraid that ah Wu had other ideas.

But this hesitation made ah Wu misunderstand. He twisted his delicate facial features and said stiffly, "don't worry about how we will get along alone. I'm a clean eunuch. I have no mind and no way."

What do you say? They haven't been alone before.

Xueyan was a little annoyed. She was surprised and realized: "if it was really a man in the palace, ah Wu was a eunuch. No wonder he would call his Majesty the master."

She said, "how dare I think of you like this? Since you are sent to protect the young master, you must know the people around the young master. Don't you know my experience? I'm afraid you dislike me and hate my children."

It's mainly about children. Although the baby less than months old is so small that she doesn't know anything at all, Xueyan doesn't want her child to be ignored.

Xueyan was born white and beautiful, but she still kept crying all night, frowning even more pitiful.

A Wu was quiet for a long time. A trace of depression inconsistent with age flashed on his young face and spit out a sentence: "I won't be tired. It's not the child's fault. I haven't had children all my life."

Two men who escaped death and followed the young master.

One is the abandoned slave who betrayed his family and went to Gu Wenjun, and the other is the abandoned son who made mistakes and was abandoned by his majesty.

Loyalty to the young master is their real sincerity and the only way out at present.

In this way, there is the feeling of snuggling up to each other and running away. The atmosphere is suddenly twisted, which is not the same as the feeling of normal conversation in the past.

The relationship between the two people here has become better, and there are some strange meanings that are unclear; On the other hand, Gu Wenjun was like a great enemy and was still in a stalemate with Xiao Yunyu.

The carriage sped back to the imperial palace.

Now the Empress Dowager is dead and King Jing leaves Beijing. Although the government and the public are suspicious and the undercurrent is surging, the old ministers still trip Xiao Yunyu everywhere. But in the deep palace, it was already Xiao Yunyu's speech hall.

Up and down, inside and outside, they cleaned up by tracking down assassins on the surface and secretly searching for antidotes.

Never commit it again. If the queen mother of the front foot dies and the queen mother of the back foot respects the king, he can believe to leave.

In the emperor's anger, Qin Chuan was ordered to clean up and secretly erase many side nails.

So now, in the Imperial Palace, Xiao Yunyu is almost in charge of coming and going, and no one dares to stop him.

The best way to cover up the noise in the carriage is to trample on the gate of the Imperial Palace, and the wheel pulley runs over the bluestone slab in the palace yard.

"How did the Empress Dowager die? Didn't Jing Wang tell you?"

When he entered the palace, Xiao Yunyu asked in a cold voice and snorted, "of course I killed him with you. You set poison and I took my life. I died like this."

Gu Wenjun had no choice but to smile bitterly.

Jing Wang really thought she had calculated everything behind her back, but Gu Wenjun's plan was not so radical and risky. At least she didn't want the Empress Dowager to die so early.

As a result, his majesty said the same and counted her as an accomplice.

But the reason is really inseparable from Gu Wenjun.

On board the glittering thief ship of his majesty, Gu Wenjun had to sit down anyway.

She thought it over and over before she said, "Your Majesty is right. The Empress Dowager is old, but she has repeatedly interfered in the affairs of the harem, so that your majesty can't live in peace. It's also a good thing to die."

Gu Wenjun is not a fool.

Every time he mentioned the empress dowager, Xiao Yunyu was fierce and cruel. He must have had a long-standing feud with the Empress Dowager. Gu Wenjun just felt that the Empress Dowager died improperly and would not say good words for the Empress Dowager. I can only persuade you in the opposite direction.

Xiao Yunyu's face was slightly Ji, and finally became clearer.

"But the rear palace still needs a puppet to cooperate with your majesty. The death of Empress Dowager Hong can't be concealed for too long, and it can only be until the end of the new year at the latest. The Empress Dowager can't be absent from the state banquet for the new year. The best way is to help your majesty take care of the rear palace, attract the forces in the court, hide people's eyes and ears, and disperse the influence of the death of the Empress Dowager."

The eyes staring at Gu Wenjun suddenly turned cold, as if frozen human bones.

"Gu Wenjun, are you persuading me to marry the queen?"

This time, Xiao Yunyu's evil intention couldn't cover up and resurfaced.

Gu Wenjun certainly won't find her own way out. She knows that her majesty has always hated the struggle of women in the harem and is bent on the great cause. Therefore, she has been dragging on without a big marriage. There are only a few hard stuffed concubines in the harem, which are cold and desolate.

But she wanted to persuade her majesty to accept a proposal he was destined not to like, so she could only hang it with an advice he hated more first. When she said the real idea, Xiao Yunyu would be easier to adopt.

She turned her eyes and looked vivid in the dark carriage.

"Your Majesty, I think you have grown up for a long time, and the harem is still empty. It's time to adopt new people and hold a draft."

Xiao Yunyu was so angry that he flashed in his eyes that he turned his hand and smashed the carriage. "Bang" made a huge noise, which made Qinchuan outside the carriage stand still for a moment, and then began to drive the horse again.

"How dare you!"

He lowered his voice: "you're just a Jiangdong Jieyuan who doesn't even have an official position. In the final analysis, you're a civilian scholar with a little fame. Gu Wenjun, do you know that it's a great crime for officials and ministers to discuss the affairs of the harem!"

Xiao Yunyu, such an overbearing and powerful emperor, hates the decentralization of power most.

Therefore, the political marriage that the emperor had always loved was resisted by him. Once the daughters of those ministers are accepted, there will be bound shackles, giving their relatives the opportunity to collude and expand their power.

The atmosphere was stiff and sticky, as if it had condensed into essence, which weighed heavily on Gu Wenjun's heart.

She said under pressure, "so, your majesty, once the Empress Dowager dies, many things in the harem that should not be bothered by your majesty fall on your Majesty's shoulders. It's really troublesome. Even if I don't say it at that time, I will continue to be advised by ministers. I hope to offset the threat of respecting the king and stabilize the court through marriage."

"That's enough! If you only think of such a way, you don't have to say the rest. I don't want to hear!"

Gu Wenjun knew the time had come.

Only now did she say her real mind: "but as long as the Empress Dowager doesn't die, all the problems are not a problem."

Xiao Yunyu raised one eyebrow suspiciously and asked, "what do you mean?"

"I only thought of Qin Chuan disguised as a coachman. Your majesty has seen my ability to change face. As long as you give me a person who serves the Empress Dowager all the year round and knows all her behavior habits, I can change that person into a obedient 'empress dowager' and never dare to disobey your majesty!"

"... do you want to make a fake empress dowager?" Xiao Yunyu smiled angrily. He directly broke the old bitch's head and wanted to cultivate a new one.

"Since the real empress dowager is gone, no matter what the past, your Majesty's wish has been fulfilled, why care about a puppet empress dowager?"

Gu Wenjun said with a deep meaning: "Your Majesty, King Jing is still in Jiangdong. He really thinks the Empress Dowager is dead. We can cheat him with a fake!"

Xiao Yunyu looked at Gu Wenjun for a long time, and his eyes were deep.

After a while, the carriage stopped. When he turned over and got off, he threw down a powerful word. Thunder killed him, "I've found traces of assassins in the palace recently. I'm afraid the Empress Dowager will have an accident. I'll send someone to guard the CI Ning palace. I can't go in and out at will, let alone see outsiders. If you have any questions, go and ask the mammy around the Empress Dowager."

This is the license!

Gu Wenjun sat up excited and wanted to go out with him. He opened the door curtain and saw the plaque in the emperor's bedroom. He immediately retracted and dared not come down again.

From outside, Xiao Yunyu sighed in a low voice like a smile: "Qinchuan, you take him to see the old mother."

"Yes."

But as soon as Xiao Yunyu left, Qin Chuan not only didn't take Gu Wenjun to see mammy as ordered, but also directly got into the carriage. He had lifted his hat and revealed his handsome and strong face.

But at this time, he looked frightened and angry, some ferocious. He grabbed Gu Wenjun's wrist and asked, "Your Majesty wants to take you into the palace!"

"Have you been favored?"
