Chapter 125: This Routine Doesn't Work Well
Ever since the last palace banquet, Concubine Yun wanted to take the opportunity to put pressure on Gu Yunyao so that she would not dare to mention breaking off her engagement with the Duke of Guo, but it turned out to be the opposite. Concubine Yun had not spoken out like this.
In particular, the prince was very unhappy about this. On the one hand, Gu Yunyao could not marry into the Duke's palace, and on the other hand, Su Tanhua's sister was accused of being a concubine.
It's just a double slap in the face.
The eldest palace maid Hu Huo stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the Lord of Yongning County has entered the palace."
Concubine Yun Gui was closing her eyes to rest her mind. After hearing this, she immediately opened her eyes: "Gu Yunyao?"
"Exactly."
"Oh, I was still trying to find some reason to get her to come into the palace, but she actually came to my door by herself.
Tell her to go down and get ready, and when she comes to see me, let her wait outside for an hour!"
"Your Majesty," Amber whispered, "she has already gone to the Empress Dowager."
"What?" Concubine Yun's eyes widened, "I am the Lord of the Sixth Palace. Do you really think that you can disrespect me by clinging to that old fool?"
"Your Majesty, don't be angry. Now that she has entered the palace, she cannot escape from your grasp.
She can't stay in the palace of the Empress Dowager all the time, there will always be a time when she comes out, and we just have to lure her out when the time comes."
Concubine Yun Guifei thought for a moment: "We must do everything perfectly. I remember that you have a fellow countryman who works for the emperor, right?"
Amber lowered her eyes and pursed her lips: "Hui Niang, yes."
Concubine Yun took back the jade bracelet on her hand and said, "Take it, I won't treat anyone who can help me worry less."
Amber took it with both hands: "Thank you, Madam."
After all, the Empress Dowager is getting older, and she worries for a long time, and gets tired after working for a while.
Gu Yunyao coaxed her to go back to the house to rest: "Those melons and fruits are growing well, and I will definitely be able to sell them for money this time. I will exchange the money for you for candy."
I'm going to sell at the market. You have a good rest. If you don't see me when you wake up, I haven't come back yet. Don't cry."
The Empress Dowager nodded repeatedly: "Don't buy candies. Come back with a fish, and I will make fish soup for you."
"okay."
After watching her sleep, Gu Yunyao quietly retreated to the outhouse, and Aunt Gu followed her out, bowing to her without saying a word.
Gu Yunyao supported her: "Mommy, what are you doing? It doesn't have to be like this."
"Thank you so much, County Master. Our ancestors haven't been as happy as today for a long time." Aunt Gu's eyes turned red. "I really have nothing to repay."
"As a junior, you should make the elderly happy. This is nothing. My mother is sometimes confused." Gu Yunyao comforted her and gave her a box of candy. "Mommy, please accept it and keep it for the elderly."
"This... this old slave is disrespectful."
Gu Yunyao picked up the basket: "A few candies are exchanged for so many fruits, and I still make a profit."
Grandma Gu was also amused.
Gu Yunyao originally wanted to wait for Shen Munan, but a palace maid outside came to report that it was a young eunuch from the emperor who came to invite the Lord of Yongning County.
Aunt Gu frowned and said, "The prince said before he left that he would personally come to pick up the county lord."
"It's okay, Nanny, I'll go out and take a look."
Aunt Eucalyptus accompanied them to the entrance of the palace, and glanced at the young eunuch. Looking at the waistband of his clothes, he saw that he was indeed serving the emperor.
She nodded slowly, and Gu Yunyao didn't show any pretense: "Mommy, I'll take my leave first. If anything happens in the future, you can just send someone to find me at the General's Mansion."
Aunt Gu took off her waistband and said: "County Lord, please take a closer look. If something really happens, I will try my best to go and invite you in person;
If you really can't escape, ask someone to go with this token. If you don't have the token, please don't follow."
"Okay, thank you grandma for your teaching, I will remember it."
Gu Yunyao said goodbye to her grandmother and left with the young eunuch.
She couldn't walk very fast and had to carry the basket. Although it wasn't particularly heavy, it wasn't light either. The injury on her arm was quite painful.
The little eunuch didn't even say he wanted to help.
Gu Yunyao felt a little regretful. She had known earlier that she should have put the basket into the Chaos Ring to save trouble.
"County Lord, please go faster." The young eunuch urged.
Gu Yunyao muttered to herself, why are you so anxious?
As they walked, Gu Yunyao asked: "Is His Highness the King of Qin still with the Emperor?"
"Yeah." The little eunuch responded calmly.
"Where is the autumn wind? The autumn wind is also here?"
"exist."
Gu Yunyao's eyes flashed slightly.
There is something fishy.
The autumn wind is blowing in the Zoo Garden, and today it is followed by spring mud.
Looking around, she has a natural sensitivity to the environment. She has been to this place before.
The last time I got lost, it was near here.
The palace banquet was the first time I entered the palace. It was dark and I was anxious, so it was normal for me to get lost near the woods, but this time it was different.
When I saw the small woods in front of me, I immediately recognized that this was the place where the incident happened that day.
When you reach the fork in the road, go to the left to go to the harem, and go to the right to go to the front hall.
The young eunuch was leading the way. Gu Yunyao watched calmly and saw him turn to the left.
To the left is to go to the harem.
Just now, Aunt Gu didn't see any flaws in the little eunuch, which shows that he is indeed from the palace, and he is indeed serving the emperor.
So, who in the harem would dare to let such a young eunuch go to the Empress Dowager to deceive her?
The answer is ready to come out.
Gu Yunyao quickly thought of countermeasures.
Just run away? She is injured now and can't run fast. It would be even worse if the little eunuch calls her an assassin or something again.
Since they came prepared, and she ran away like this, maybe there was another way to go.
Before he could think of it, the little eunuch suddenly turned around and disappeared into the woods.
Gu Yunyao: "??"
What kind of trick is this? Ignore her?
Gu Yunyao didn't know much about the rules here, so she was really confused for a moment.
After much deliberation, I decided to go along the waterfront to the main hall where I went last time. It was not far from the emperor's study. Even if I met the imperial guards and explained my identity, they wouldn't kill her immediately.
Seeing no one around, he quickly put the basket into the Chaos Ring. As soon as he reached the water, he heard footsteps behind him.
Gu Yunyao didn't look back. She glanced at the water and saw a figure running towards her quickly with a big bamboo pole in her hand.
She sneered silently, can this kind of trick be used?
She stood there without moving, waiting for the pole behind her to hit her immediately, and took a slight step to the side.
"thump!"
The person behind him rushed too hard, couldn't hold back his posture, and rushed straight into the river.
Water splashed everywhere, and Gu Yunyao looked down from a high position. Judging from the clothes, she looked like a little maid, not a palace maid.
It's really strange.
The pole in the little girl's hand was floating on the water, and her hands kept grabbing at it: "Help...help..."
Gu Yunyao bent down to pick up the bamboo pole and pointed the other end at her hand.
The little maid hurriedly went to catch it. Once she caught it, it was all empty.
Gu Yunyao smiled lightly and moved the water with her bamboo pole: "Who asked you to come?"
"help me……"
"I said, who asked you to come?"
The little maid panicked and asked for help, but she didn't say who sent her.
"Okay, drink slowly," Gu Yunyao said calmly, waiting on the shore.
"Gulu...Lulu..."
The little girl was about to lose her strength.
"yes……"
"louder."
Before he could say anything else, a shout sounded from the edge of the woods.
"stop!"
Gu Yunyao turned around slowly and saw several palace maids surrounding a woman.
