Gu Yu was sitting there dripping wet. The clothes hadn't been delivered yet. She was wiping the water off her clothes and thinking.
The world is always more tolerant of men, but she insisted not to marry Sun Caiwei. The most people in the world could say was that she was irresponsible.
She is not afraid of getting a bad reputation, even worse, the better. The worse her reputation in marriage matters, the more noble ladies will avoid her.
But Sun Caiwei was miserable.
So many people saw her dripping wet look, and she was not the only "man" present, there were also the broom star, the fifth prince, the sixth prince, a large group of ladies and gentlemen, and many palace maids and eunuchs.
If word gets out, this girl will be stabbed in the spine.
Gu Yu finished twisting her top and twisted the hem. What does that have to do with her?
It was obvious that she was the one being plotted, but she had already done her best by rescuing Sun Caiwei.
No matter how Sun Caiwei ends up, it is her own fault.
Concubine Zhao said: "I'm afraid that the fifth and sixth princes will enter the South Study at the same time, and they will be impatient."
Gu Yu was noncommittal. She had an intuition that this matter had nothing to do with the two princes and was entirely directed at her.
But why the broom star did this, she couldn't figure out.
A little palace maid brought a thick towel. Concubine Zhao took it and said to Gu Yu, "I'll wipe your hair."
Gu Yu's back was stung by water stings and she said to Concubine Zhao, "I'll do it myself."
Concubine Zhao said: "It's not like I haven't wiped it for you. Come here quickly."
Gu Yu felt guilty and took two steps back. Just in time to be seen by the little palace maid who was about to go out, the little palace maid screamed in surprise: "Ah, why is there blood on Prince Gu's back?"
Hearing the little palace maid's call like this, Gu Yu knew that she could no longer hide the family law from her sister.
Sure enough, Concubine Zhao pulled her to her side with a serious look on her face. Seeing the blood stains on her back, she ordered the little palace maid: "Get out."
After the little palace maid bowed her head and exited the room, Gu Yu grabbed the lapel of her clothes and did not dare to speak.
Concubine Zhao couldn't help but untie her clothes.
Seeing Gu Yu's scarred back, Concubine Zhao couldn't help but shed tears and said, "Why is it so seriously injured?"
Gu Yu also saw the injury on his back in the bronze mirror. It was indeed a bit miserable. No matter how good the medicine was, it couldn't withstand the repeated tossing in the past few days.
Fortunately, she is in good health. Although she occasionally has a low fever, she can get over it the next day after taking medicine.
Gu Yu explained dryly: "Actually, the scabs have started to form in the past two days. It just looks hideous."
Concubine Zhao gently hammered Gu Yu's shoulder with her fist. As the eldest daughter, of course she recognized that the injury was caused by the Gu family's method.
Geng swallowed: "If I hadn't discovered it, were you planning to keep it secret from me?"
Gu Yu acquiesced.
Concubine Zhao continued: "What happened? How could you be subjected to such severe family punishment?"
Gu Yu lowered his head, like a child who had made a mistake, and told everything about the Peony Banquet concisely and concisely.
Concubine Zhao began to burst into tears. After all, she turned to Gu Yu and said, "Then you can't beat her so hard. It must hurt so much."
Gu Yu lowered her head and said, "It doesn't hurt, sister. I deserve it. If my sister hadn't knocked Dong Changmao unconscious in time, the consequences would have been disastrous."
Dong Changmao was already crazy at that time, and it was not impossible to kill his sister.
She habitually walked to her sister's Fangting Courtyard every morning, and narcissistically recalled the scene when she took her sister out of the closet that day.
Because of her negligence, her sister suffered such great psychological trauma that she could not reconcile with herself.
She could only torture herself over and over again, mentally and physically. Only pain could keep her absolutely awake.
Concubine Zhao asked Gu Yu to lie down on the cave. She had prepared medicine for injuries in the palace, and she carefully applied the medicine to Gu Yu while crying.
For a moment, neither of them knew what to say.
Even after applying the medicine, Gu Yu continued to find a band to tie up her upper body at the risk of wound infection.
This is a slow process of blunting the flesh with a knife. Every time Gu Yu tightens the knife, the wound will hurt.
The palace maid found a clean men's clothing from the Eagle Guard and brought it to her. Gu Yu put it on, after all, it was a military attache's clothing and it was a bit too big for her.
Even if they are biological siblings, it is not convenient for her to stay in Sister's Palace for too long. After getting dressed, Gu Yu will open the door and walk out.
Concubine Zhao suddenly hugged her from behind and said, "Yu'er, I don't want you to enter the court."
Gu Yu turned her head and sighed: "Sister, do we have any other choice?"
Concubine Zhao wept secretly, knowing that her words were too inappropriate, so she said: "You, a girl, should not have to bear so much."
Gu Yu looked at the sunlight coming through the crack in the door, and the dust floating in the light.
She said with stern eyes: "I never think there is anything a woman should or shouldn't do. No matter I am a boy or a girl, there is only one way our family should go."
Concubine Zhao was still crying, and Gu Yupo said helplessly: "Sister, don't cry, I have to meet someone later."
Concubine Zhao let her go, turned around and covered her face and said, "It's getting late, you go ahead. I can't go out like this. I need to touch up my makeup."
Gu Yu said "hmm", opened the door and walked out.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Junze followed the eldest princess and whispered.
The eldest princess glared at him with her beautiful eyes. She was so old, why would she use such unsavory methods? Didn't she just want her son to return to the right path?
But you can't say this out loud. My son may seem careless, but in fact he cares about face very much emotionally.
He ignored him and continued walking forward.
Junze followed along and asked several times. The eldest princess finally said impatiently: "Don't think that I don't know your dirty thoughts. Let me tell you, Prince Gu and you are not from the same family."
Junze knew that his mother was afraid that she might have misunderstood the rumors and thought that he liked Gu Yu. He was so angry that he defended himself: "I told you all the dirty thoughts, I don't like her!"
Seeing that the eldest princess ignored him, he continued: "Rumors stop at the wise. I used to think that you were quite wise, mother. How could you believe such nonsense?"
The eldest princess didn't believe his nonsense at all, and said: "If you want me not to believe it, then find a noble girl and get married immediately."
Junze paused and said: "Then you should believe it. Anyway, a little rumor is not painful to me. If I find someone to marry, then my life will be over."
The eldest princess plucked a flower from the bush, threw it on him, and said: "Get out of here, get out of here quickly, I don't want to see you now."
Junze felt angry when he saw that his mother couldn't get enough of him, so he turned around and left.
The eldest princess entered a side room with a sullen face.
The imperial doctor woke up slowly after giving Sun Caiwei the injection. He saw the eldest princess sitting in the room drinking tea and was about to get up.
The eldest princess said: "No need to be polite, just lie down."
Sun Caiwei drowned and felt uncomfortable with her heart and lungs. She coughed twice and said, "Thank you, aunt, for helping me."
