"The Lord has humiliated me and died. Queen, you are innocent. I will go first." Aunt Xiang suddenly shouted.
not good!
Gu Yu opened her eyes wide and shouted: "Stop her!"
But it's too late.
In the midst of lightning and flint, Aunt Xiang used all her strength and slammed into the red wall of Jingxiu Palace.
"Bang--"
After a muffled sound, the floor tiles of Jingxiu Palace were once again splattered with blood.
There were screams again in the palace, and Gu Yu heard the childish voice of the sixth prince next to him, and hurriedly took him into his arms and covered his eyes.
The imperial concubine raised her head and looked at her, knowing tacitly that this farce was over.
It doesn’t count as a win, it doesn’t count as a loss, and I can only swallow it if I don’t want to accept it.
The queen felt that the world had slowed down. Her nanny, Aunt Xiang, who had watched her grow up, committed suicide for her.
Her mother had been very strict with her since she was a child. Every time she made a mistake and was punished by her mother, and would hide in a corner and cry secretly, her grandma would hold her in her arms and comfort her.
She knew that her grandma had a hard life and treated her like a daughter. She also relied on her as a mother.
But now, her nanny was lying on the ground, only a few steps away from her, but it seemed like a world away.
The messy screams in her ears seemed to be separated from another world. Suddenly her world turned blood red. In a trance, she heard the lullaby her childhood mother had hummed to coax her to sleep.
So gentle, so quiet.
It's a pity that I can't hear it anymore.
"Bold!" The Holy One shouted angrily, breaking the barrier between her and this cruel world.
"Mom——"
The Queen screamed in grief and threw herself on Aunt Xiang's body. Looking at the hole in Aunt Xiang's head that was constantly bleeding out, she tried to cover it with her hands, but to no avail.
The queen's eyes were blood red, and she saw that Aunt Xiang's eyes were half-opened. She was unwilling to close her eyes, as she was still thinking about her.
No, she couldn't lose. Even if she was heartbroken at the moment, she couldn't let her grandma die for her in vain.
She closed her grandma's eyes with her bloody hands, and the tears couldn't stop flowing down.
She suppressed the overwhelming hatred in her heart, turned her tearful face to the Holy One, and said sadly:
"Your Majesty, should I also die here, so that I can retain my final dignity as a queen?"
"How presumptuous!" The Holy Master threw the cup angrily, with a clang and porcelain shards all over the floor.
"Suicide by a palace official is a capital crime that implicates the nine clans. Come here, pull her body out, whip it and expose it to the sun for ten days. No one among the nine clans will be left alive."
The eunuchs came over to pull Nanny Xiang's body away. The Queen hugged her tightly and said, "No, no, Nanny."
The eunuchs ignored her struggles and forcefully separated her from Grandma Xiang's body without expression.
The queen fell to the ground in embarrassment, crying bitterly in the direction of the palace door. She no longer had the majesty of a palace lord.
Just like they were dealing with Zhou Baolin's body, two more eunuchs came and quickly wiped the blood on the ground. Soon, Jingxiu Palace was restored to its original state.
"Zhou Baolin was cruel and ruthless. He poisoned the palace concubine. His crime was unpardonable. The clan members in Wufu were sent to the border as slaves."
"Zhao Yuanzheng was not good at medical skills and was expelled from Taiyuan Hospital. The position of Yuanzheng was taken over by Imperial Physician Lin."
"The imperial concubine bestowed the title 'Zhao'."
"Concubine Hui was promoted to 'Concubine Virtue'."
Finally, the Holy Sage said: "The nun of Changchun Palace made this big mistake. The Queen's rule was not strict and she was punished by being banned from Changchun Palace. The affairs of the Sixth Palace are temporarily under the control of Concubine De. After the concubine recovers, she will be handed over to the concubine."
Gu Yu sneered in his heart, the government was not strict, the Holy Spirit would no longer hold Tongxin Yao and "Long Night" responsible.
When Aunt Xiang died, the doubts in His Majesty's heart could only be doubts and could not seek truth.
Gu Yu was very disappointed with this result. But it had come to this point and there was no room for change.
Knowing that the Holy Emperor had given up the idea of searching the palace, the Empress breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking of Aunt Xiang who died for her, she felt so sad that she fainted.
After the Holy Emperor finished speaking, he didn't even look at the queen on the ground, and walked out with a gloomy face.
The queen was carefully carried back by the palace attendants of Changchun Palace, and the concubines dispersed with different expressions.
Jingxiu Palace finally became clean.
Gu Yu quickly helped the concubine back to the house and put her on the bed. The sixth prince held the corner of the concubine's clothes tightly.
After the imperial concubine lay down, she said to the sixth prince: "You must be frightened. It's all your mother's fault."
The sixth prince nodded, shook his head, and sobbed softly: "Concubine, please don't leave me."
The imperial concubine said: "My concubine will not leave you. My concubine will recover soon. Don't worry."
The sixth prince then wiped his tears.
The imperial concubine coaxed him and said: "Tang'er, my concubine is a little tired and wants to take a rest. You go back with grandma first and have a good rest as well."
The sixth prince said in a low voice: "Then I will come tomorrow to pay my respects to my mother and concubine."
The imperial concubine said: "Okay, my mother has prepared cakes and is waiting for you."
The Sixth Prince then followed his nanny and left with three steps at a time.
"The relationship between Sister A and the Sixth Prince is really good." Gu Yu said.
"Are you jealous?" the imperial concubine asked.
"Yes, in addition to being jealous, I am also a little happy for my sister. After all, the sixth prince already remembered things when he was raised by my sister. I am also afraid that he will remember his biological mother and be estranged from my sister." Gu Yu said.
She had been close to her sister since she was a child, but seeing her sister being so gentle and considerate to other children suddenly made her feel a little sad.
"This child is gentle and kind, but he is a little timid. I am afraid that I will never have another child of my own in this life. Since he is raised here, I will treat him wholeheartedly. He is also a good child who knows his kindness."
The imperial concubine said quietly.
In the early years of a palace fight, my sister lost a child, and she was seriously injured at that time. The imperial doctor said that my sister would probably have difficulty in having children in her life.
As for the mastermind back then, it was the Queen.
Thinking of what happened today, Gu Yu's eyes darkened.
"The Queen has the Xu family supporting her, so it's hard for the Holy One to break up with her, but it also hurts her vitality. Aunt Xiang next to her is the most vicious, and she deserves this fate.
Besides, even if there is no search for the palace, the seeds of the Holy Emperor's suspicion have already been planted. Just wait for it to take root and grow into a towering tree, and then the queen will die." The imperial concubine said.
"I'm just unwilling." Gu Yu said frustratedly.
"This result is already good. You see, even though the Queen's right to control the Sixth Palace has been given to me, I also got the title for nothing.
Concubine Hui was also promoted to Concubine De. Although the four concubines of De, Xian, Hui and Shu were tied, De was the first.
Imperial Physician Lin has also become the president of the hospital, so I won’t be afraid that someone will attack my sister from the imperial hospital in the future," the imperial concubine said.
Gu Yu knew that Sister A was trying to comfort her, so she reluctantly smiled at her.
But the imperial concubine didn't buy it and said with a smile: "Laughing is uglier than crying. It's so ugly."
Gu Yu lowered her lips and said solemnly: "Sister, please never put yourself in danger again, okay?"
The imperial concubine put away her joking words and said seriously: "Okay, sister, I promise you."
Gu Yu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said: "The preparations for the symposium are almost complete. The Holy Father is very satisfied with me. Sister, believe me, I will soon be able to support the lintel of the Duke's palace and become my support."
The imperial concubine's eyes were full of mist. When she saw her resolute face, she knew that she had made up her mind to join the court. She sighed: "I believe you, but you must be careful in the previous court. This time we seriously injured the queen, and the Xu family will not
