Rebirth after waste

Chapter 36

"Zhou An?" Gu Yunxian stroked the cold cloak with his fingertips, and the pattern of double lotus on it was lifelike, "Then did he explain clearly, who is the person in charge?"

Zhuang Lingyi lowered her voice, "Zhou Yushi made it clear in the memorial. He directly pointed the finger at Zhou Shitao, Prime Minister of the Left."

"Sure enough." Gu Yunxian smiled lightly, "Although Zhou An and Zhou Shitao have the same surname, they have always been at odds. It is not unusual for him to impeach him this time."

After a pause, he said again, "What did he say?"

"Zhou Yushi said that King Ning had a close relationship with Prime Minister Zuo when he was in Yudu, and the two have kept in touch after they went to the fief. This time King Ning suddenly returned to Beijing to offer a horse, and his motives were already suspicious. If the startled horse happened again, everything would be self-evident. He also produced two letters between King Ning and Prime Minister Zuo as evidence of their close relationship."

After saying this, Zhuang Lingyi frowned, "So, this is really what King Ning did?"

Gu Yunxian looked at her without speaking.

Zhuang Lingyi thought for a while, but still couldn't help expressing her thoughts: "Sister, don't you think the development of this matter is a little weird? When the shocking incident happened yesterday, the concubine thought it had something to do with Zhen Jieyu, but she deliberately For this, to win His Majesty's pity. However, according to the news from Dazheng Palace this morning, King Ning has almost been convicted. Not only that, but now Prime Minister Zuo is involved." His brows frowned even tighter, "It's hard No, Zhen Jieyu is really suffering innocently?"

"Judging from the current situation, it's almost like this." Gu Yunxian said lightly, "But you and I know it well, it can't be so simple."

If Jing Fushu really bumped into someone else's trap by riding a horse casually, then she was very lucky.But if it doesn't make any sense to say that this matter has something to do with her, how could she, a Jieyu who doesn't even have the right to assist the Six Palaces, do it by doing things on the imperial horse?

Thinking of this, Gu Yunxian suddenly had a thought.Assistant Liu Gong, how could she forget, this is a perfect opportunity.She can fight what she wants, and get what she wants.

Zhuang Lingyi and Rou Wanyi Xing lived together in the Chuning Palace. When Gu Yunxian accompanied her back to the palace, he happened to see Rou Wanyi playing outside with her nurse and maid.The third son of the emperor was held in the arms of the nurse, and the warm sunshine shone on his face, making him laugh happily.

Rou Wanyi's figure has recovered a lot, only her cheeks are still round.Sitting aside at the moment looking at his son, his eyes are full of smiles.

When she turned her head and saw them approaching, Rou Wanyi smiled slightly, stood up and saluted, "My concubine sees Mrs. Yuan Jieyu, please be safe." Then she gave a blessing to Zhuang Lingyi, "I have met sister Lingyi."

"Sister, don't be too polite." Gu Yunxian said with a smile.

Zhuang Lingyi also smiled: "It's rare for Madam Yuan Jieyu to come here once. If my sister doesn't dislike it, she is willing to come to Shicui Palace for a cup of tea. We sisters gossiping."

Rou Wanyi only hesitated for a moment, then said with a smile: "My sister invites me, but my sister dare not refuse."

Zhuang Lingyi is a rigid person, and she has no other hobbies in her life, except tea.Therefore, there are a lot of rare tea leaves stored in Shicui Palace, all of which are rewards from His Majesty.

Rou Wanyi took a sip of the "Mengding Stone Flower" and said with a smile: "Sister's tea is indeed very good, and this stone flower is top-grade."

Zhuang Lingyi laughed and said, "I knew that my sister was a smart person, so I was willing to share it with my sister. I might not be willing to change it to someone else."

Gu Yunxian raised his eyebrows, "No wonder I didn't see Fan Su every time I came back. What kind of tea did you greet me with? So you think I don't know the goods?"

Zhuang Lingyi was taken aback, and smiled wryly: "Sister, don't make fun of my concubine. Your tea art was taught by the empress dowager herself, and you have tasted good tea since childhood. How dare this concubine think that you are ignorant, sister?"

Gu Yunxian nodded solemnly, "I forgive you for not daring."

Seeing the two of them chatting and laughing, Rou Wanyi was a little dazed, and said after a long time: "The concubine doesn't know that your mother is like this..."

Gu Yunxian looked at her.

Rou Wanyi seemed to be struggling for a while, then suddenly stood up, "Last December, the empress used to protect my concubine with her body in the plum garden. On the day of the concubine's delivery, she also took care of her. I will never forget my concubine's kindness for protecting me many times!" Then he knelt down.

Gu Yunxian grabbed her tightly, "I already knelt outside just now, so don't kneel now. You have to take care of yourself soon after giving birth."

Rou Wanyi just shook her head, "No, ma'am, let me finish this ceremony for you. I really feel..."

Gu Yunxian looked at her expression of shame that couldn't be concealed, and knew it in his heart.In the past, she followed Zhen Jieyu, so she probably participated in plotting against her more or less.Now that she is at odds with Zhen Jieyu, and he is kind to her, with her shallow thoughts, I'm afraid I feel very guilty.

I'm afraid she will feel comfortable if she kneels down, but she can't make her feel comfortable.

This guilt should be used in more important places, rather than just kowtow here.

Thinking of this, she supported her body even more firmly, and said seriously: "Although this palace is not what it used to be, but after all, I was the mistress of my younger sister. I took care of my younger sister back then, but I did my duty. No matter how many younger sisters Said, Bengong is going to be a younger sister and look down on me."

Rou Wanyi was frightened by her tone, she didn't dare to kneel again, she held the handkerchief to wipe away the tears on her face, she remained silent.

Seeing her gradually calm down, Gu Yunxian said softly, "Yesterday, there was an incident at the racecourse, and my sister was also there. The situation was too chaotic at that time, I didn't have time to ask, and I don't know if my sister was frightened?"

"The concubine is fine." Rou Wanyi whispered, "But Zhen Jieyu fell off the horse, I'm afraid I was quite frightened. But..."

Gu Yunxian remained calm, "But what?"

Rou Wanyi pursed her lips, "It's not a secret, and it doesn't matter if I tell the empress. The concubine once heard the story from the maid next to the empress Zhenjieyu, saying that the first time the empress Jieyu met her majesty was on the Shangsi Festival. His Majesty rescued the lady who nearly fell off the horse."

really.Gu Yunxian sighed softly in his heart.Her guess was indeed correct, what happened yesterday was really related to their first meeting.From this point of view, it is very likely that the emperor's love for Jing Fushu will be the same as before because of this incident.

Rou Wanyi obviously thought the same way, "That's why I feel that although Madam Zhenjieyu was frightened, this matter may remind His Majesty of the past, and show favor to Majesty again..."

Gu Yunxian saw the expression on her face while she was speaking, and was surprised, and recalled the meaning of her words, and immediately reacted.

She smiled lightly and said, "Graceful again? Your Majesty has always loved Zhen Jieyu and never disliked her. Why do you say 'again'?"

When Rou Wanyi saw her answering the words, she was overjoyed, and she spoke a little faster, "Your Majesty, why pretend to be confused, you understand what I mean. Now Zhen Jieyu's favor is not as good as before. Your Majesty's favorite is clearly Ma'am, you..."

"Rou Wanyi." Gu Yunxian suddenly turned cold, "Please be careful with your words."

Rou Wanyi froze, staring at her blankly.

"Your Majesty is a Dao Mingjun, so he naturally understands the principle of equal distribution of favors. It is the same for the Liugong sisters. There is no one who likes or dislikes." She looked indifferent, "I don't want to hear that someone is talking about you." Talk about the king behind his back."

Rou Wanyi murmured: "Chenqie... I understand."

Gu Yunxian looked at her for a moment, then slowed down his tone, "However, I understand what you want to say."

Rou Wanyi looked up.

Gu Yunxian had a gentle expression, "My younger sister has always been on good terms with Zhen Jieyu, and it is a good thing for her to be favored by Zhen Jieyu. Why does my younger sister look very worried?"

Rou Wanyi lowered her eyes, as if she didn't know how to explain.

"Speaking of which, on the night my sister gave birth, it was really strange that the harem didn't have a leading concubine. The imperial medical office has already explained that the date of my sister's delivery is those few days, and the palace will definitely keep someone. Even if it is Your Majesty I was very excited, and if I was negligent for a while, someone should remind me." Gu Yunxian seemed to suddenly think of something, and said in confusion, "Zhen Jieyu and my sister are so good, she should remember that my sister will be pregnant in a few days. Let His Majesty take everyone away?"

All the concubines are not here, it's because the emperor deliberately did it in order to confer her the title of Jieyu.But these Rou Wanyi didn't know that she could just use this to provoke her and Zhen Jieyu, and completely break the broken relationship between them.

Rou Wanyi trembled when she heard the words, and smiled wryly, "Her? How could she remember when I gave birth. I think in her heart, I wish my child would not be born!"

These words were a bit vicious, not at all her usual gentle and obedient appearance.It seems that in her heart, the grievances towards Jing Fushu are already deep, and it is by no means a day or two.

Perhaps from the beginning of the plum garden incident, she knew that Jing Fushu had the intention of harming her child.

Rou Wanyi suddenly made up her mind, her eyes were firm, "Your Majesty, this concubine knows that your empress is different from Zhen Jieyu. Although there are many bad rumors about you in the palace, this concubine believes that those are maliciously made up by others." Looking at her earnestly, "You are kind-hearted. Since you are willing to protect Chenqie's children, Chenqie knows that you are kind-hearted."

She knelt down again, this time, Gu Yunxian didn't stop her.

"To be honest, my concubine no longer dares to follow Zhen Jieyu anymore. The concubine has been afraid these days, fearing that one day she will kill her, and then my son will become a motherless child. They can all come up to trample and harm you! When I think of this, I can't sleep all night because of fear." Rou Wanyi broke down in tears, "Mother, now that I'm in the palace, I can only trust you. I know that in the past I There are many offenses, I beg you, my lord, to ignore the faults of villains and forgive my concubine!"

Gu Yunxian looked at the woman kneeling and crying coldly, not knowing what it was like.

In her previous life, she was executed for killing her child.This time, she escaped the catastrophe, and she gave birth to a child smoothly.They are all survivors, and Jing Fushu is their common enemy.

Maybe this is their fate.

She knelt down slowly and took her hand.Rou Wanyi looked at her in surprise, with tears still on her face.She looked directly into her eyes, and slowly said: "I have never blamed you before, so how can I forgive you? I know that your nature is pure and kind, and you were just deceived in the past."
