Chapter 5 The Innocent of Every Man, and the Guilty of Bi

There was no detailed news about the poisoning that day. Gu Yu guessed that the imperial concubine was afraid of being alarmed.

The family was worried about the situation of his sister in the palace, so Gu Yu handed in the letter and asked to enter the palace to see his sister.

The emperor heard from the Censorate that Junze had injured Gu Yu, so he agreed to Gu Yu's request to enter the palace.

It was the day to enter the palace in a blink of an eye, and the palace guards arrived at the Duke's mansion early in the morning to pick them up.

Stepping on the golden morning light, Gu Yu followed the palace guards into the palace, passed the Ganqing Gate, picked up by the aunt of Shanggong Bureau, and walked between the narrow palace walls. The dazzling sunlight shone on the golden tiles carved with dragons and phoenixes, but the palace road was covered with shadows.

Gu Yu came all the way to Jingxiu Palace, and the imperial concubine was already waiting in the court with strict makeup.

After seeing her, he quickly stepped forward. Gu Yu held back her tears and saluted her sister. Her sister held her hand and said with tears in her eyes: "I've grown taller."

Gu Yu followed Sister into the main hall of Jingxiu Palace. The palace maids closed the door, and Gu Yu was hugged by Sister: "Sister's good Yu'er has grown so big."

Gu Yu couldn't help but burst into tears when he let his sister hold him.

After traveling through time, the legitimate mother was strict and the aunt was inevitably partial to her sister Gu Qiong, whom she kept by her side. Only the sister took care of her and gave her too much warmth.

Although they met few times after the sister entered the palace, their relationship was still deep.

The imperial concubine carefully touched her body and said, "The poison on her body has been cleared. Are you arm healthy? But what are the sequelae?"

Gu Yu said: "Don't worry, sister, it's all cured and there are no sequelae."

The imperial concubine couldn't help but cry again: "It's all my fault for not protecting you."

She held Sister A’s shoulder and comforted her: “Sister, don’t say that. It turns out that I was careless for a moment. Fortunately, this snack didn’t get into the mouth of the Sixth Prince.”

Perhaps it was because of the inheritance of Aunt Su's tallness, she was half a head taller than her sister, so she would not look shorter when she was in the man.

The imperial concubine cried, "Sister dare not even think about it. If you suffer for him, if it is really that way, then... What face does Sister have to live in the world?"

My sister was strictly taught by her mother since she was a child, and she was dignified and virtuous even in front of her.

This is the first time Gu Yu has seen Sister lose her composure.

Gu Yu hurriedly said, "Sister, don't cry, let's talk well."

The imperial concubine wiped her tears and said, "I have found out the poisoning incident. The palace maid Lily of the Valley in my palace secretly ate the right food with the little eunuch next to Zhou Baolin. She was instigated by the little eunuch to do this.

Unfortunately, I am afraid of being a mouse. Even if I have all the evidence and evidence, I cannot go over and ask for punishment with great fanfare. Otherwise, the emperor will send an imperial physician to diagnose you, and you will not be able to hide the crime of pretending to be a man and cheating the emperor."

"Zhou Baolin?" Gu Yu frowned, "What are the grudges with Sister?"

The imperial concubine was silent for a moment and said, "There is no time for peace in the harem? I had made a quarrel because of a quarrel. In fact, I don't have to take her seriously, but her eyes are a little similar to the Queen, and the emperor cared about her quite. But Yu'er, be patient, please watch it, after a while, I will seek justice for you."

But Gu Yu held the imperial concubine's hand and said, "I just want my sister to be fine. When I enter the court, my sister will not have to work so hard."

The imperial concubine did not react for a moment and continued: "If I said that all kinds of things in the past were to protect myself in this intrigue harem, now I will fight for it.

Every man is innocent and is guilty of possessing a treasure. I have raised the Sixth Prince, and some people have regarded it as a thorn in my eyes. Take this matter as an example. Where did a small treasure forest get such a poison from the ability to get such poison and do everything so smoothly.

The snipe and clam fight, who is the fisherman waiting for profit? Yu'er, when things come, I can't stand back."

Gu Yu held Sister A’s hand and felt that the time was ripe, so he said, “Sister, I want to ask for a great gift to repair the sacrifice this spring.”

The imperial concubine was so shocked that she stood up: "What? Are you going to make up for it now? I don't agree."

Sister A’s reaction was as expected, and she said: “Sister, if a family like us does not advance bravely, they will only decline day by day. As the prince, if I let myself go, I am afraid that anyone will step on it in a few years.”

Gu Yu paused for a moment and lowered his voice: "Among the three princes who grew up safely in the palace, the fifth prince born to Empress Xiaomei who passed away, does not have the holy heart, but the eldest princess is supported by the eldest princess behind it.

The ninth prince born to the queen is young and still orthodox. Only Sister is weak. If I enter the court, I can at least help Sister.”

The imperial concubine shook her head and said, "You are not as weak as you are, and you are not as fled to the court. How can you enter the court and fight those scheming officials."

Gu Yu knew that in the eyes of his sister, she would always be a child. She was grateful for this kind of warmth, but the dangerous reality would not give her enough time to grow up, and there were too many things waiting for her to do.

Gu Yu said: "A sister entered the palace at the age of 17 and came here alone. She hasn't seen any timidity. I am nineteen years old this year, and I have a sister to take care of me. I will enter the court sooner or later, but it's just a difference of more and less. Does sister have no confidence in me?"

The imperial concubine still said: "How can the previous dynasty be the same as the harem? The conspiracy among men is extremely dangerous than the harem. How can I feel at ease to let you enter the court to find a way out. Don't say anything, when you get the crown next year, I will ask the emperor to give you a free position, and it's enough for me to have the Gu family."

Gu Yu helped the concubine back to the seat and knelt on the ground, just like she snuggled up to her sister when she was young and acted coquettishly, saying:

"Don't my sister know me yet? Since I was a child, my mother treated me as a man, hoping that one day I could revive the Duke's Mansion of Zhenguo. The emperor was afraid that although I had no progress in martial arts, I thought I was no worse than others in my study.

Since I was born in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, I had to take on this responsibility and not be a dandy person or live in a mess. Sister, that kind of life is not what I hope for."

The imperial concubine turned her head and said stubbornly: "Don't say it anymore, I won't agree. If my mother forced you to force me to force me tightly, I will send her a letter to persuade her."

Gu Yu knew that Sister was feeling sorry for her, but I couldn't wait to get the opportunity. She deliberately said: "It was my own decision, not to do my mother's business.

It’s not that my personality is unknown. Once I decide, the nine-headed cows can’t be brought back. If my sister is unwilling to take care of me, I can just say that at worst, I will fight alone like my sister back then.”

The imperial concubine lifted her hand and swallowed even more: "I understand, you must be angry to death."

Gu Yu struck while the iron was hot, raised his head, pursed his lips slightly, looked at her with a pair of pure eyes, and said, "Sister will promise me, right?"

The imperial concubine covered her face and cried, "It's all my sister who is useless."

Gu Yu knew that this was a sister who had compromised and coaxed her patiently.

The aunt from Shanggong Bureau came to urge them outside the door, leaving the time for the concubine to meet her family for a short time, and this time had already come.

Gu Yu had to say a long story short and whispered: "Sister, wipe your tears quickly. When I enter the court, we will have more opportunities to meet."

As he spoke, his aunt outside urged him again, and he cleaned up his emotions, and Gu Yu was about to leave.

The corridor is very long and the red walls on both sides are cramped. Gu Yu followed the aunt of Shanggong Bureau to leave. A palace maid sweeping the palace maid was slaughtering a butterfly with a broom on the road.

When she walked over, the palace maid quickly put down the broom and bowed to salute. The butterfly was covered by the broom and struggled hard.

Gu Yu couldn't help looking back, and Sister was still standing there watching her leave. Although the corridor was far away, she couldn't see her expression clearly. She guessed that Sister must have regained the imperial concubine's correct appearance at this moment.

Gu Yu sighed and followed his aunt to the Ganqing Gate, but was stopped by a little eunuch.

The little eunuch greeted her and said, "Criminal Gu Da'an, the emperor ordered his servant to come here to pick up Prince Gu to Qinzheng Hall."

Gu Yu turned his head and said to the aunt of Shanggong Bureau, "Aunt Lao will see you off." Then he followed the little eunuch.

Walking on the road, Gu Yu secretly stuffed the golden leaves into the little eunuch's hands and said:
