Queen Yu refused to say anything, and Chief Gu didn't ask any more questions. After a moment of silence, Chief Gu suddenly whispered: "Lianniang, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have vented my anger on you just now.
The person who suffered the most when Emperor Jianwen behaved like this was none other than Empress Yu.
How could she be so angry at her best friend? What's the difference between this and adding salt to Queen Yu's wounds?
Gu Shanchang's anger faded, and guilt filled his eyes.
Queen Yu twitched the corners of her mouth and revealed a bitter smile: "Xianzhi, there is no need to talk about this between us. In the final analysis, this matter still happened because of me."
"Mingxi shined in the academy competition more than two years ago, and she looked very similar to me when I was young. At that time, the emperor had his thoughts in mind. It was just that Mingxi was young and could not reveal it."
That year, Xie Mingxi was only ten years old!
How could you be so lustful so early! This old pervert is a cunt!
Gu Shanchang's face was ugly, and his eyes were full of hatred and contempt.
Such hatred and contempt made Queen Yu feel extremely embarrassed.
This was the man she fell in love with back then, the husband she was determined to marry!
For the sake of her reputation, to cover up her shocking act of dressing up as a woman, and for her to successfully marry into the Tian family, her brother Yu Lianchi drank poisoned tea and died at the age of fifteen. Her good friend Gu Xianzhi never died.
Marry, keep the festival for your brother...
She owes her brother a life and her best friend a lifetime of happiness.
Queen Yu took a deep breath, the heat in her eyes faded away, and her voice was firm and powerful: "Xianzhi, I promise you. I will definitely protect Xie Mingxi!"
…
"Pooh!"
From Concubine Li's bedroom, Concubine Li's jealous and angry voice came: "This must be Empress Yu's plan."
"She herself was old and beautiful, and gradually fell out of favor. She was unwilling to accept it. She simply found a young and beautiful person to enter the palace and compete for favor on her behalf."
"That Xie Mingxi is Gu Xianzhi's disciple. He is also Queen Yu's protégé. How can he be in the Emperor's eyes without the two of them adding fuel to the flames?"
"If Xie Mingxi enters the palace and is favored in the future, she will be Empress Yu's right-hand man, and will also be a great help to the third prince."
The fourth prince's deep voice then sounded: "Does the mother concubine have any countermeasures?"
Concubine Li was very angry: "What can I do to deal with it? Even Queen Yu can't stop whichever woman the emperor likes to bring into the palace. How can I, a concubine, have the right to say anything?"
When she first entered the palace, Concubine Li was favored for a while. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and Concubine Jing took away her favor. After that, Concubine Mei was favored for many years. After that, Concubine Duan!
She was getting older, her youth was gone, and her beauty was fading. She relied on giving birth to two princes to keep her foothold in the palace.
Concubine Li lost her temper, and finally sat down on the chair slumped and said in a low voice to the fourth prince: "Concubine I can only rely on you now."
"Ah Hao, listen to your mother and concubine. Take the initiative to find Miss Li Er tomorrow. Miss Li Er has already fallen in love with you, so you can just use your words."
"If the Li family intends to have a prince and concubine, they will make efforts to facilitate this marriage. I will go and beg your father again, and the marriage will be successful."
The fourth prince's face was as dark as water, with no real emotions visible. After a moment, he nodded in agreement.
…
In the sixth princess's bedroom.
Xie Mingxi and the Sixth Princess sat opposite each other, silent.
With no outsiders around, Xie Mingxi no longer had to pretend that nothing happened, and the smile on her face disappeared quietly.
The sixth princess looked even more serious, with a dark fire burning in her eyes.
After a while, the Sixth Princess spoke up to break the silence: "I didn't expect that the white deer and the Four Emperors were also involved."
Xie Mingxi was a little helpless: "I didn't expect that the fourth prince would actually say this in public."
She didn't want to be in the limelight, so she specially gave the white deer to the sixth princess. Unfortunately, things were unpredictable. In the end, she could not escape the summons of Emperor Jianwen.
Thinking of Emperor Jianwen's increasingly unconcealed gaze, Xie Mingxi felt sick to her stomach.
The prince and concubines are not fools, and they have obviously noticed it today.
The sixth princess also thought of the previous scene, her eyes filled with chills.
"Don't worry, I have countermeasures..."
"Don't worry, I have countermeasures..."
The two of them opened their mouths at the same time, and even the words they said were exactly the same.
Xie Mingxi and the sixth princess looked at each other for a moment, and then laughed together. The previous dullness and gloominess disappeared as soon as they looked at each other and smiled.
"Mingxi, what countermeasures do you have?" the sixth princess asked curiously.
There are drugs to fake death and escape, pills to make men lose all their virility, and poisons that are colorless and tasteless to kill.
Xie Mingxi didn't want to go into details and just said: "In short, I have my own way."
The Sixth Princess is so keen. After thinking about it for a while, she vaguely guessed something. However, with this method, she can only hide for a while, but not for a lifetime. Her own method is more reliable and reliable...
"You never told me, what method did you have to help me avoid this disaster?" Xie Mingxi's voice sounded in my ears.
How could the Sixth Princess dare to tell the truth? She coughed and said, "Anyway, I have my own way."
Xie Mingxi: "..."
Sixth Princess: "..."
The two of you looked at me, and I looked at you, neither of them wanted to let the other peek into their thoughts.
never mind!
Better go to bed early!
…
Emperor Jianwen was in a good mood. He drank a few more drinks at the palace banquet and became drunk.
Eunuch Lu said diligently: "Your Majesty, the warm soup for bathing has been prepared. I will help your Majesty to clean the room now."
Emperor Jianwen hummed.
Waiting for the emperor to take a bath is no easy task. In addition to Eunuch Lu and several chamberlains, there are also several palace maids. All of them are pretty and hold clothes, towels and other items in their hands.
Emperor Jianwen took off his clothes under the care of the palace maid, and immersed himself in the warm water. Then, he closed his long eyes.
Shower and wash your hair, someone will take care of you properly.
A slight footsteps sounded. Then, two white and tender hands fell on Emperor Jianwen's hair, carefully washing Emperor Jianwen's hair. The hands were gentle and did not lose strength when massaging, which was very comfortable.
This palace maid served her very well.
However, this trivial matter was not worth taking to heart for Emperor Jianwen.
He still closed his eyes and fell asleep, never opening them.
Until a long and familiar girl's voice rang in my ears: "Yuan Zhong!"
Emperor Jianwen's dragon body trembled and he suddenly opened his eyes.
What caught his eye was a girl about fourteen or fifteen years old.
The girl wore the unique sky-blue Confucian shirt of Songzhu Academy, and her long hair was tied up with a green scarf of the same color. Only one or two strands of hair were left hanging by her ears.
Her skin is as white as jade, her eyes are as black as ink, her rosy mouth corners are slightly raised, and she smiles heartily and playfully.
The beautiful memories of his youth hidden deep in his heart were instantly brought out by this familiar girl's face. Emperor Jianwen's eyes were filled with ecstasy, and he unconsciously exclaimed: "Lian Niang!" (To be continued)
