"Sir, what did you say?" Ah Yue was startled and struggled to kneel down in front of Gu Yilan: "What's wrong, madam?"
Gu Yilan made a gesture.
Attendant Xiaoshou stepped forward and said loudly: "Murong cheated, deceived the emperor, revealed the secrets of the family, cheated on the inside, and plotted against the family with outsiders.
The old lady ordered that from now on, no one can call her madam anymore, and she will be kept in a house under strict supervision.
Stop all supplies except food and drink, charcoal fire! Wait until she gives birth before punishing her!"
Ah Yue collapsed to the ground: "How could this happen?"
Xiaoshou sneered: "How could this happen? When you helped her to act as a swindler and betrayed the interests of the clan, didn't you have any idea in your heart?
If someone like you falls into the hands of the old man, he will be cut into pieces and his life will be worse than death! Your only way to survive is to tell him honestly!"
Ah Yue was silent for a long time and said slowly: "If I tell you, sir, can you spare my life?"
Gu Yilan said: "I will do what I say."
Ah Yue kowtowed to him: "This matter started more than ten years ago..."
Gu Yilan made a stopping gesture and asked Ye Zhou to go out.
Ye Zhou lowered his head and quickly exited.
The Priest's Palace is magnificent, brightly lit, and covered with heavy snow, which is a rare beauty.
Ye Zhou was upset. He walked back and forth outside the door anxiously, looking at the high courtyard wall from time to time.
He was afraid that someone he was afraid of seeing would suddenly appear above the courtyard wall.
It'll be over soon, it'll be over soon... he prayed.
With a soft "squeak" sound, the palace door finally opened.
Xiaoshou came out and said softly: "My lord asked you to take care of people."
Ye Zhou entered and saw A Yue fainting on the ground. Gu Yilan turned her back to him, looking up at the statue of a god with a compassionate expression.
"My lord." He called out and waited.
Gu Yilan said: "You take her away and keep her alive. I will be of great use to her."
Ye Zhou's heart skipped a beat: "When do you want to use it, sir?"
Gu Yilan said: "About three to five days, probably March or May."
Ye Zhou looked troubled.
Gu Yilan turned around: "What?"
Ye Zhou whispered: "Can you hurry up? I always feel like something is wrong."
Gu Yilan raised her eyebrows: "What's wrong? He found out?"
Ye Zhou said: "That's not the case, it's just that I feel uneasy in my heart."
Gu Yilan pondered for a moment, then waved his hand to order him to leave: "I understand, I will make arrangements in the next few days."
Ye Zhou took the unconscious Ah Yue hostage and left quickly.
Gu Yilan walked slowly outside the palace door, looked at the wind and snow in the sky, and coughed softly.
Xiaoshou hurriedly put the fox fur on him and advised: "Sir, it's windy and snowy, and it's almost dawn, so why not take a rest early."
Gu Yilan said softly: "Elder, did you hear everything just now?"
Elder Wu came out of the darkness and looked at him with pity in his eyes: "It's all in the past, people have to look forward."
Gu Yilan said: "You asked me to look forward, but there is only one her in this world, what should I do?"
Elder Wu frowned: "But things have come to this point. Sooner or later, His Majesty will grant her a marriage with A-lin. What can you do? If you continue to mess around, the clan will not support it. What's more, you and Murong..."
He said a little depressedly: "Her luck is too good."
She actually got pregnant in one go, and she managed to get pregnant despite all the trouble. It can only be said to be a bad fate.
Gu Yilan's face became even more ugly.
Elder Wu sighed and stopped trying to persuade him.
Gu Yilan leaned against the door frame, looking at the flying snow in the sky with a dull look.
He never knew that this was what happened.
It’s not just a sentence that says, “I don’t know anything, so I can forget it.” (To be continued)
