In order to cover up the truth about the Holy Emperor's poisoning, the news that the imperial concubine was poisoned by Queen Xu and had a miscarriage spread to the palace, quickly causing an uproar.
"I heard that in order to appease our eldest lady, the Holy Emperor not only deposed the queen and killed Xu Jieyu, but also made our eldest lady the imperial concubine."
"Even the palace banquet has been cancelled."
Two little maids were hiding under the eaves, discussing in low voices.
But unexpectedly, a voice suddenly came from behind, saying: "What are you talking about!"
The two maids quickly knelt down and kowtowed, saying: "This slave deserves to die! This slave deserves to die!"
The old lady thought about what they had just said, and a strong uneasiness filled her heart.
She trembled and said: "What is for appeasement? What kind of imperial concubine? What kind of deposed queen? Tell me clearly!"
Her Yue'er was given the title of Imperial Concubine, probably after giving birth to her child, so why was she given the title now?
What happened in the middle?
The two maids did not dare to answer, but kept kowtowing in apology.
The old lady thought of a possibility, her hands and feet became a little weak, and said: "Call the young master over."
When Gu Yu saw the maid in her aunt's yard asking her to come over nervously, she knew that her aunt had already guessed the outcome.
Gu Yu did not deliberately suppress the news, this matter could not be hidden.
Gu Yu rushed to her mother's yard and ordered her attendants: "Invite Dr. Leng to my mother's yard."
My mother's health is not good, and she may not be able to bear it if she finds out about this sudden bolt from the blue.
As soon as he entered the door, Gu Yu saw the old lady lying on the bed, her eyes dull.
Gu Yu knelt down in front of her and called, "Mother."
The old lady said: "Did your sister have a miscarriage?"
Gu Yu said: "Yes."
The old lady said angrily: "Mother and daughter are connected. In fact, these days, I have been suffering from heart palpitations and unable to sleep well. I always dream of your sister crying. I have a premonition that something happened to your sister."
Gu Yu pressed her mother's wrist and felt that her pulse was either rising or falling. It was clear that her heart was stagnant and that all kinds of diseases were about to occur.
Gu Yu's nose was a little sore and she said: "Mom, sister is already in enough pain. If I know that you are sick because of this, it will be even worse."
The old lady was worried about her daughter and asked hurriedly: "Is there any news from the palace? How is your sister's health?"
Gu Yu said: "Sister is injured, but Doctor Leng is taking care of her."
The old lady looked in pain and said, "Why does my daughter have to suffer this kind of pain?"
Gu Yu whispered: "Mother, seeing how happy you were earlier, I didn't dare to tell you that this child would never be born from the beginning. Sister and the child can only live one."
The old lady sobbed, making her look even older.
Gu Yu said with 70% truth and 30% falsehood: "I couldn't watch my sister die, so I asked Dr. Xiao Leng to abort the child. But the news that my sister was pregnant accidentally spread, and Mrs. Xu took action first after she was decapitated.
Doctor Leng took advantage of the situation and aborted the child."
The old lady said with tears in her eyes: "Your sister is suffering."
Having hope and then having it dashed is the most despairing thing.
She suffered this crime in vain, and her daughter still didn't know how painful it was when she was in the palace.
Gu Yu said: "Mother, please take care of yourself. After the New Year, I will take you to the palace to visit my sister."
Doctor Leng came from outside, checked my aunt's pulse, and prescribed some side medicine.
Gu Yu stayed with her aunt until night. When she returned, she was exhausted both physically and mentally.
It seemed that the Holy Emperor's body collapsed in one fell swoop, and at the same time he brought down Queen Xu and the Xu family behind her. The Ninth Prince Faction plummeted.
But Gu Yusheng couldn't express any joy because this victory came at the cost of sister's grief.
The Spring Festival has arrived.
There are lights and colors everywhere, families are reunited, and there is laughter and laughter.
However, the atmosphere in the Gu family was depressed due to the miscarriage of the imperial concubine and the old lady's illness.
The Shendu Courtyard was very desolate. After Luoyan helped Gu Yu support the Xuncong, he quietly left.
The room became quiet, and Gu Yu silently thought about her sister in the flickering candlelight.
The two sisters are separated by a high palace wall, and even meeting each other is a luxury.
At this time, she wished she could be by her sister's side.
She knew that the current sister must also wish that she was here, but the reality was too cruel. Accompanying her was the enemy who killed her father.
Gu Yu wiped the tears from her face.
The most hateful thing is that you obviously want to tear your enemy into pieces, but you can only greet him with a smile.
It's not that we can't take the opportunity to kill the Holy One, but no one can afford that price.
The Holy Emperor died suddenly and the crown prince was not established.
The people of the Fifth Prince Faction and the Ninth Prince Faction are bound to fight to the death, and she, the apparent representative of the Sixth Prince Faction, cannot stand alone.
In order to avenge the Holy Sage, Shao Wuji will once again bear the reputation of the God of Killing. Adhering to the principle of preferring to kill by mistake rather than letting go, he will kill people in both the government and the public.
The arrogance of aristocratic families will rise again, and the efforts of land equalization and imperial examinations for poor families will be in vain.
If the kings move, those who still have ambitions will raise troops from various places to rebel.
Even Xirong, who was thousands of miles away, didn't want to see Dayu fighting among himself and took the opportunity to come and bite him.
Prince An rebelled the year before last, and there was a drought in the north last year. If we experience another turmoil this year.
The people cannot afford it.
What's ridiculous is that the Holy Emperor buried Gu Jiajun twenty years ago to secure the imperial power.
Twenty years later, the daughter of the Gu family still wants to stay alive for the sake of the stability of the imperial power.
Why is life so messy?
Gu Yu buried her face in her arms.
I don’t know how long it took, but a cat meowed outside the window.
Gu Yu looked up with a tired look on his face. The dog was clearly in the room.
When it heard the cry outside, it also meowed, jumped to the window, and used its paws to pull on the window lattice.
Gu Yu had many thoughts and a headache, and ignored the movement outside.
But the cat outside kept meowing, and the cat inside the house also kept meowing.
In addition to the cat's meow, Gu Yu also heard the sound of the wind blowing in the bamboo forest and bringing down the snow from the branches.
I guess it's extremely cold outside.
Gu Yu stood up, opened the window, and let in the wild cat outside.
The wild cat climbed over the window with its body filled with cold air, trembling all over, and snowflakes fell one after another.
The wild cat said with a hint of grievance: "Why did you open the door for me? No, open the window..."
Gu Yu remained silent in the darkness.
The wild cat came over and said aggrievedly: "I almost froze to death."
Gu Yu felt depressed and still ignored him.
Junze came closer, put a pair of cold hands on Gu Yu's face, and said, "My fingers are almost frozen."
Gu Yu shuddered, opened his hand, took a step back, and finally said, "Why are you here?"
Like a magic trick, Junze conjured a pot of wine in his hand and said: "Hold the stove and watch the snow wine to stimulate people. There is a newly opened jar of good wine in Fei Restaurant. I am not interested in drinking it by myself. Why don't I come to see you?"
.”
In fact, Junze heard the news about the miscarriage of the imperial concubine, and guessed that the reason why Gu Yu went to all the trouble to meet Lengliu last time was probably for this result.
He also guessed that Gu Yu must be very sad now, so he came to accompany her on the snow.
Gu Yu is like this, he doesn't tell anyone about his joys or sorrows, he likes to have one person to carry everything.
If he didn't come, Gu Yu would light a lamp to boil oil and sit there alone until dawn.
Gu Yu said calmly: "I don't want to drink, you can go find someone else."
Junze said: "Okay then, I can only go to Fei Restaurant to find a girl for a drink."
With that said, Junze opened the window again and climbed out.
Gu Yu behind him did not move.
Junze asked for trouble, turned it over again, and said, "No, it's freezing outside. I'd better warm up here for a while before going."
Gu Yu still looked cold and said, "It's up to you."
As if by magic, Junze took out sweet potatoes, chestnuts, and snacks from his arms, and said, "I'll eat something first to cushion my bed. I'll be over in a while."
Junze unceremoniously brought a stool for himself, moved the smoker cage away, threw the sweet potatoes and chestnuts into the stove, and buried the chestnuts and sweet potatoes under the charcoal basin with a small iron rod.
Gu Yu was a little helpless at this uninvited guest, and said sadly: "Where did you get these things?"
Junze showed no shame at all and said bluntly: "I stole it from your kitchen."
When he came over, he first asked Lan Yan about what was going on in the house. Lan Yan said that the young master had not eaten at night, so he sneaked into the kitchen and stole something.
