"Your Majesty, the Concubine Xian has been waiting in the Water Curtain Palace for a long time. If she doesn't go there, I'm afraid the auspicious time will be missed."
A young eunuch on the side came forward with a flattering smile and said.
He Muyan felt that this little eunuch looked familiar, and knew that he was the little eunuch from Gu Yu Palace, so he couldn't help but turn cold:
"I won't go alone."
"Go back and pass it on to your master. Don't be too greedy."
He was willing to give her a concubine for the sake of the witch doctor. If he was asked to investigate and find out that what the witch doctor said was not true, he would not let these two people go.
Zhou Ninghai saw this and couldn't help but shook his head.
With His Majesty's appearance, anyone with a discerning eye would know who he was thinking of, but these two people were the only ones pretending to be confused.
In the Water Curtain Hall, Gu Yu was wearing a fiery red wedding dress and a hijab embroidered with pink peony on her head, sitting quietly in front of the dressing table.
Only the slightly trembling hands intertwined could show her excitement.
"Xiao Lizi, is your Majesty here?"
Gu Yu's voice was a little shy and charming, as if she was happy to meet her sweetheart.
When Xiao Lizi, who had just hurried back, heard this, his knees immediately softened:
"Empress, Your Majesty... Your Majesty said..."
Gu Yu's body stiffened as he leaned forward, and his voice rose:
"What did your Majesty say?"
Sweat broke out on Xiao Lizi's forehead, and his voice gradually became quieter:
"Your Majesty said he won't come, so don't overthink it..."
Gu Yu pulled off his head cover, and his face with exquisite makeup was now extremely ferocious because of anger, and looked extremely terrifying in the dim light:
"Bitch! Bitch!"
"Did he go to accompany that bitch Su Lian? Tell me!"
She grabbed the coral hairpin stuck in her bun and threw it at the little eunuch's forehead, causing a small bloody hole in his forehead.
The little eunuch was shaking like a sieve. Even when the blood reached the tip of his nose, he didn't dare to reach out and wipe it away. His body while kneeling on the ground kept shaking.
"Back to the imperial concubine, your majesty just went to see the imperial concubine, and then returned to the palace."
Gu Yu narrowed his eyes and accurately noticed the key points:
"Going to see Su Lian? Su Lian isn't in his dormitory?"
"The imperial concubine seems to have moved into the Ciyun Palace in the southeast corner. She hasn't come out all day today and has never seen His Majesty go in."
Hearing this, Gu Yu was stunned for a moment, and then the corners of his lips gradually rose:
"Can this be taken seriously?"
The little eunuch quickly leaned down and said:
"I am willing to guarantee with my life that I have witnessed everything with my own eyes. If any of the sentences are not true, I am willing to be punished by being quartered on five horses and linked to the nine clans."
Gu Yu was jealous of the special treatment he gave Su Lian, and was secretly happy that he really didn't recognize her, so the smile on his face was a little unnatural and ferocious.
"Your Majesty, Lian'er misses you."
Gu Yu's face was hidden in the night, delicate and authentic.
As he spoke, Gu Yu's weak and boneless hands reached into the man's collar, and one hand climbed up to his chest.
She had never said such a thing to him.
A trace of confusion flashed in He Muyan's eyes, but after feeling the cold temperature of the woman's fingertips, he suddenly came to his senses. He couldn't help but reach out and push her away, with a mocking smile on his lips:
"Since we've all left, why come back?"
If we really talk about cruelty, who can compare with her.
He faked his death without saying a word and left with others.
Still looking like he will never come back again.
He Muyan covered his dizzy head and looked at the blurry figure in front of him, his eyes showing infinite grievance.
Gu Yu was dumbfounded. After all, she was not really Su Lian. She couldn't answer his words, so she could only fake a smile:
"Your Majesty, don't think too much. I will always love you only."
Do you only love him?
A trace of sarcasm flashed across He Muyan's eyes.
Su Lian has a sweet mouth and likes to act obedient and foolish, but she absolutely cannot make such a promise.
She is never sincere and is not willing to give her sincerity.
Smiling bitterly, He Muyan slowly backed away and drank the wine in his hand.
What he was holding was a strong drink, and as soon as he drank it, his internal organs started to hurt.
Especially the throat, which felt like it was being burned by fire, as if it was about to be torn apart.
But after the short-term pain, there is great sleepiness and dizziness.
He Muyan felt disgusted and moved away from the flustered woman in front of him, fell straight into his bed, and fell into a deep sleep.
Two white-haired lions immediately came around and blocked Gu Yu directly beside the bed. In the night, their eyes glowed with a cold green light.
Gu Yu originally wanted to struggle again and climb onto He Muyan's bed, but when he saw the two white-haired lions staring at him eagerly, he couldn't help but take a step back.
"Dead beast."
She cursed secretly, feeling a little unwilling to do so, but she didn't dare to take a step closer.
No matter how bold she was, no matter how much she thought mother was more valuable than son, she wouldn't dare to take off her master's clothes under the watchful eyes of two ferocious beasts.
Gu Yu looked dumb as he ate Coptis chinensis and couldn't express the pain.
But she had already come in, and she had only been in for a few minutes. It would be too embarrassing to go out at this time.
In the end, Gu Yu had to stay in the corner until dawn before walking out of the dormitory door with some confusion and sadness.
"Ahem."
In the cold palace, Su Lian hugged the quilt and leaned against the door and window, quietly looking at the sky.
It was obviously early morning, but the sky was still not rising, but rather gloomy.
She crossed her arms with her hands and saw that her breath turned into white mist, showing how cold this winter was.
"Mother, the Ministry of Internal Affairs said that this is all they have and they are not willing to give more."
Outside the door, Yue Ju trotted in, holding a basket of black charcoal in her hand. After seeing Su Lian, she immediately said aggrieved.
"This winter seems to be extremely cold. I'm afraid these are not enough."
He Muyan glanced at him briefly;
"You are the only one with a long mouth."
Withdrawing his eyes, He Muyan looked at the eaves of the palace not far away:
"Not in a hurry."
Now that the Su family is in deep trouble, Su Xiangyu fled out of the capital yesterday, and there are countless people in the capital staring at Su Lian and the Su family. Letting Su Lian stay in the cold palace at this time may still be a way to protect her.
Besides, she hasn't settled the matter of bewitching him yet.
He Muyan thought so.
He has not been idle these days. Ever since Prime Minister Su enriched himself and formed a secret party, he sent people to privately investigate the correspondence between Su Lian and Prime Minister Su after entering the palace.
What made him feel a little relieved was that after Su Lian entered the palace, he seemed to be extremely repulsive to Prime Minister Su's arrangements. He didn't write many letters in total, and even if he did, they were just daily concerns and exhortations.
Moreover, he also found out that Su Lian did not seem to be Su Xiang's biological child. Although the Su family originally had a child named Su Lian, he accidentally fell into the water and died when he was seven years old. Now this Su Lian came later.
Although he didn't know why there were so many mysteries about Su Lian, so many fogs that he couldn't see clearly even though he tried to see them, he didn't care. As long as she stayed by his side obediently, he didn't care about everything in the past.
"Let's add more guards to Leng Palace to prevent some disobedient ones from running around again."
"Your Majesty, Concubine Su seems to be in poor health recently..."
"Go down and see her alone."
He Muyan rolled up his sleeves and dipped his hands in ink on the rice paper to write one word:
