Gu Fenglin knelt in front of the Queen Mother and the Emperor and said in a deep voice: "I sincerely ask Your Majesty and the Queen Mother to agree to my marriage to Mu Yunhan."
The Queen Mother and the Emperor looked at each other, and finally the Emperor said: "She is still in her filial piety."
Gu Fenglin said stubbornly: "I'm just asking for permission from Your Majesty and Your Majesty, not that the wedding will be held immediately."
He paused and said: "I use medicine made from her blood every day. It is precisely because of her medicine that I can fulfill my duties.
I was really scared just now. If something happens to her suddenly one day and she can no longer provide me with medicine, I..."
He smiled faintly: "We can only wait to die."
The emperor said unhappily: "Are you trying to scare me? In the entire Mu family, there is no one else but her?"
Gu Fenglin said calmly: "Your Majesty has seen with his own eyes how good her blood is. Nowadays, the talents of the Mu family and the Gu family are withering, and every person with special bloodline is precious."
The Empress Dowager said coldly: "Your Majesty, Gu Fenglin is right. Special matters will be handled specially, and no one will say anything."
The emperor pondered for a moment and said, "I agree. Just go back and wait."
Gu Fenglin did not get up: "Please, Your Majesty, Xu Muyunhan will not die."
The emperor raised his eyebrows: "Why do you say that?"
Gu Fenglin said: "Because of the incident with Princess Huaichang earlier, the imperial concubine was angry with Mu Yunhan, and the incident with the Jiang family caused misunderstanding. However, Mu Yunhan is really innocent."
The emperor's face darkened: "I already know about this."
The Queen Mother said: "Gu Fenglin, you go back first."
Gu Fenglin said no more and stood up to leave.
The Queen Mother waved away the crowd, lowered her eyes and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say and I am unhappy."
"In the past, the priest family had a detached status, and the female family members did not have much involvement in the palace. Even if they made mistakes, they would turn a blind eye and everyone would live in peace.
This Mu Yunhan came from the common people and attracted too many people's attention from the beginning. That was not her original intention. It was not true that anyone in the palace deliberately targeted her.
But later, she has proven her identity and her talents. I think she must be given the treatment she deserves.
Otherwise, anyone can kill her, everyone wants to kill her. Even if she is somewhat related to me by blood, you can still be considered her cousin.
But it is nothing compared to the golden branches and jade leaves. I really wanted her to die, so I pressed her to death gently. But if she died, what consequences would it bring to the Gu family?
What consequences will it bring to the government? Your Majesty, please think more about these. My old woman is old and wants to live a pure life for two years. If not..."
The Queen Mother sighed, shook her head, and walked out on crutches.
The emperor saw her back shaking slightly and hurriedly chased after her. He saw that the Queen Mother had already burst into tears.
The emperor suddenly realized in his conscience that for so many years, his old mother had indeed supported him wholeheartedly.
No matter how reluctant he was to kill his own brother, he never said anything against him.
So the emperor knelt down to the Queen Mother and said, "Mother... your son is unfilial."
The Queen Mother touched his face and sighed: "I only hope that you will be well and that the country and the people will be safe. Even if you let me die immediately, in this life, the only hope I have is you."
The emperor personally sent the Queen Mother back to her palace, and then returned to Liuli Palace with a gloomy face.
Concubine Jiang had already treated her wounds and was resting on the bed. When she heard the noise, she went out to greet her and said delicately: "Your Majesty, you are here. You scared me just now." (To be continued)
