Concubine Chongxi: Binding the Medicine Jar to the Master

Chapter 137 An Unexpected Turning Point

"Gu Lian..." Baili Jiuge couldn't bear it anymore, and was about to refuse aloud at this moment, but was suddenly held by Mo Li.

Because of his sudden movement, Baili Jiuge was originally a small hand on Mo Li's arm, but he took it down.His big hands wrapped Baili Jiuge's small hands tightly under the table, and the cold temperature seeped in, which conveyed Mo Li's comfort to her.

"Jiu Ge, don't panic." He murmured almost in a whisper, clear and gentle around Baili Jiuge's ear.

"If I really want to leave Shang Kingdom, no one can stop me; but if I don't leave, no one can take me away."

Baili Jiuge was startled, staring into Mo Li's eyes in disbelief, "Mo Li, you..."

"Don't worry." The smile was softer, and the voice was softer, "The situation at the moment is not bad, let's wait and see what happens, if it's really bad, I'll find a way to get out of trouble."

Under the gaze of this gentle gaze, a strong sense of trust arose in Baili Jiuge's heart. This feeling made her suddenly no longer panicked and anxious, she calmed down her breathing, and cast a firm look at Gu Lian.

She saw a hint of dodge in Gu Lian's eyes.

At this moment, the seated Yin Haoyi finally spoke, with a very forced smile: "Fifth Emperor's daughter, people are not gifts, so it seems inappropriate to give them to each other."

Gu Lian stopped watching Baili Jiuge, turned her eyes to Yin Haoyi, and smiled: "Just now His Majesty promised me personally, but you will generously give me whatever I want. I grew up in a brothel, so although I don't understand There are many, but I also know that once the emperor of my great business has said a word, it is hard to follow."

"This..." Yin Haoyi concluded, knowing that he had caused trouble by boasting in Haikou, but if he really let Mo Li go, it would be like letting the tiger go back to the mountain, and it would also make Mo Li find He Luo as a backer.In the future, if Zhou Guo borrowed Heluo's help and declared war on the big merchants, wouldn't Yin Haoyi have to go to war again?

In order to enjoy the sensuality more, Yin Haoyi didn't care about what he said, so he immediately showed a hypocritical smirk, and said: "The jewels and jades of the big merchants, let the fifth emperor choose, as for Zhou Shizi... the fifth emperor don't forget If he is my prisoner, I will not give him to the Fifth Emperor as a gift."

The blood on Gu Lian's face was half faded, even though he knew that his identity was different from before, but in his heart he still regarded Yin Haoyi as the king of his own country, and he was very afraid.

Jin Zhi also sighed helplessly, looking at Gu Lian, she really felt that she was too headstrong.In fact, when Gu Lian mentioned to her in the posthouse that he wanted to take away Mo Li, Jin Zhi already disagreed, because it was a problem between several countries after all!
However, thinking of the hardships that the fifth emperor had suffered in living in other countries since she was a child, Jin Zhi agreed softly, but she already knew in her heart that this would not work.

At this moment, seeing Yin Haoyi's resolute attitude, Jin Zhi knew that he could no longer make unreasonable troubles to damage He Luo's image, and just wanted to speak to persuade Gu Lian, but at this moment, he saw the chief executive rushing over.

The chief officer said: "Your Majesty, General Fengguo has brought a group of girls, saying that they have important matters to meet with the Holy Spirit, and they must not be delayed."

Hearing this, everyone showed strange expressions.

Baili Jiuge was even more surprised.Baili Yue brought a group of girls to face the saint, what was he going to do?
Subconsciously, she felt that it was not a good thing to hook up with Baili Yue.

Yin Haoyi felt displeased at the moment, originally he didn't want to deal with this matter, but under the persuasion of Empress Yuan, he finally called the group of girls into the palace.

So, more than a dozen girls walked in in small steps, all wearing heavy makeup and bold clothes, all wearing a layer of light gauze on their shoulders, bringing a strong fragrance of makeup and powder all the way, filling the entire Minse Hall .

Baili Jiuge and Gu Lian were shocked when they saw the face of the leader.

Dede? !
Baili Jiuge gasped.How did Dai Dai get along with Baili Yue?What is she doing with the group of sisters who always look for herself and Gu Lian?Could it be that Baili Yue is Dai Dai's new benefactor recently, and who is Dai Dai targeting?

Baili Jiuge suddenly thought of the day when he introduced Gu Lian to Jin Zhi, when he passed the Fangfei Pavilion on the way back home, he heard Dai Dai and the sisters at the gate of the pavilion chatting, as if to say something like "I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence" ""This excitement is not for nothing"...

Could it be... Dai Dai and the others are targeting Gu Lian?
There was a chill in his heart, Baili Jiuge squeezed Mo Li's hand tightly, tensing his nerves.

But seeing Daidai leading the girls to Yin Haoyi, blessed her body enchantingly, her voice was sweet to the bone, "Little girl, Daidai, and all the sisters, see the emperor and all the empresses."

"Let's get down." Yin Haoyi said angrily, "You said you have something to see, what is it?"

Dai Dai gave Gu Lian a sideways look, the smile on her face was extremely sinister, making Gu Lian break out in a cold sweat.

The next moment, Dai Dai lifted off the tulle she was wearing on her shoulders, and on her snow-white left shoulder was a tattoo of Fairy Luoshui!

Everyone gasped, Baili Jiuge, Jin Zhi, and Gu Lian's expressions changed.

Then, more than a dozen other girls did the same, and the tulle fell all over the floor for a while, the fair shoulders of the beauties reflected the stream of candlelight, and each of them had the exact same mark of Luoshui Fairy on their left shoulders.

"This!" Jin Zhi suddenly stood up, stunned and speechless.

Gu Lian's hands instinctively tightened her skirt, and her heart rose to her throat.

Finally, Empress Yuan asked, "Miss Dai Dai, where did the Luoshui fairy on your left shoulder come from?"

Dai Dai hooked her orchid finger coquettishly, "Returning to the empress, tattoos with this pattern are not uncommon in the Flower Street of Chaodu. This was the most popular pattern in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion more than ten years ago. At that time Many women in the brothel have this tattoo, and if they give birth to a daughter, they will also have this tattoo on their shoulders. Dai Dai, I was tattooed by my mother all my life..."

At this point, he purposely yelled at Gu Lian: "Sister Wu Xianzi's mother is the prostitute of Fangfei Museum, so, in fact, we are all in the same situation."

All four were stunned, and there was no sound.

In the dead silence, Gu Lian's face was covered with thick snow, and his body was so limp that he almost fell to the ground.

Jin Zhi even yelled humiliation in his heart, the most sacred pattern of their Heluo Kingdom, the Luoshui Fairy who blesses one side with good weather, unexpectedly, unexpectedly...

"Dai Dai, have you guys had enough trouble?"

A voice suddenly sounded, breaking the silent atmosphere.

It was Baili Jiuge who stood up. At this moment, one of her small hands was still tightly entangled with Mo Li's. Her eyes were bright and determined. She stared straight at Dai Dai and the others, and sneered: "You guys are jealous of Gu Lian, you are so jealous!" Wu Qingcheng, who is used to making troubles for her on weekdays, but now she has fake tattoos here to talk nonsense, isn't she afraid of retribution if she behaves like this?!"

Dai Dai looked at Baili Jiuge in surprise, "It turns out that it is the concubine of Zhou Shizi, the little girl Dai Dai is very polite." First she blessed her body, and then she became contemptuous, "I have heard that the concubine Shizi is forgetful and likes it. Nosy people, just like this matter, we sisters are afraid that everyone present here will be deceived, so we begged General Fengguo to bring us in to tell the truth, does the concubine think that this matter has something to do with you?"

"You—" If Baili Jiuge wasn't still being held by Mo Li at this moment, he would have rushed up and kicked Dai Dai away.Such a wolf-hearted person deserves to be beaten to the extreme!

Dai Dai turned her eyes to look at Jin Zhi, saluted again, and said with a sweet smile: "Prime Minister Jin, what the little girl said is not half false, if Prime Minister Jin doesn't believe it, you can come and examine the tattoos on our sister's shoulders, see See if it was stabbed ten years ago."

Jin Zhi's complexion was as hard as iron, and now he was doubtful. He glanced at Gu Lian with a complicated expression, and said to Yin Haoyi: "Your Majesty, this matter is related to the bloodline of our Heluo royal family. Please, Your Majesty, be able to summon capable people to the palace."

Yin Haoyi didn't expect things to turn out like this, but he felt that such a development was simply God's help for him, so Heluo Kingdom couldn't take Prince Zhou away... So he immediately called the queen's tattoo artist over.

The tattoo master soon arrived, checked Dai Dai and the others, and announced: "Report to Your Majesty, the tattoos on the shoulders of these girls were all done seventeen to eighteen years ago."

At this moment, Gu Lian slipped off the cushion and fell to the ground, like a bloodless porcelain figurine being smashed into thousands of pieces, it was too miserable to bear to look at.

She couldn't explain, she could only tremble, as if being severely ravaged by a strong north wind that came early, and all the shadows around her were looking at her with mocking and mocking eyes, so cruel and ruthless.

I thought I had climbed to the top of the mountain, but I didn't know that the high place was extremely cold, so I just fell to the bottom of the abyss... Gu Lian couldn't bear such a cruel blow, she was so excited that she passed out.

Seeing this, Empress Yuan hurriedly announced the imperial physician, but Jin Zhi, who had long been overwhelmed with doubts in her heart, trusted her, and she recruited the tattoo artist to verify the pattern of the Luoshui fairy on Gu Lian's shoulder.

After the tattoo artist verified it, he announced the news that Jin Zhi was completely disappointed: "The tattoo on this girl's shoulder, and the tattoo on the girl in purple clothes, were done by the same person."

The girl in purple is Dai Dai, looking at Gu Lian's fainted figure at this moment, she smiles smugly.She has been oppressed by Gu Lian for many years, and today she finally ruined Gu Lian's reputation with her own hands. From then on, Fangfei Pavilion is her Dai Dai's world, and the title of "Dancing Fairy" will belong to her!

Baili Jiuge had a panoramic view of everything. At this moment, her slender body was shaking violently, and her shoulders seemed to be weighed down by heavy snow.

She stared at Dai Dai, she never imagined that this thunderbolt planned by her carefully planned would destroy the rest of Gu Lian's life!How will Gu Lian behave in the future...

And Yin Haoyi was very happy in his heart, and he still did not forget to say with a sinister smile: "Prime Minister Jin, since Miss Gu Lian is not the fifth emperor's daughter of Heluo Kingdom, Heluo doesn't need to insist on taking away Prince Zhou, right?"

Jin Zhi bit her lower lip, knowing that He Luo was at fault, but she always felt that there was a trace of this tattoo... The tattoo artist said just now that these girls' tattoos were all tattooed 18 to 18 years ago Yes, and [-] years ago was exactly the year of Renwu, which was the year when the five emperors were born and lost...Since tattoos of the Luoshui fairy were popular at the Qinlou Chu Pavilion in the capital at that time, it shows that the five emperors are indeed It appeared in the capital of the Shang Dynasty at that time, and it was very likely that it was adopted by a woman in a brothel, and this tattoo was passed down in imitation of the birthmark on her shoulder...

In this way...Jin Zhi had a thought, and said: "I implore Your Majesty to allow you to stay in the imperial capital temporarily, and continue to investigate the whereabouts of my fifth princess Heluo."

"Prime Minister Jin, please do as you please." As long as you don't bring up the matter of taking away Prince Zhou, let her make troubles.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Jin Zhi raised her sleeves and raised her eyebrows, giving Heluo the most honorable etiquette.

A practice feast was suspended at such an unexpected turn, and Jin Zhi didn't have to practice for her if she didn't leave Shang Kingdom, so she went back to the posthouse.

Yin Haoyi saw that it seemed wrong for Gu Lian to be dizzy there, so he threw the mess to Empress Yuan again.In the end, Empress Yuan ordered someone to prepare a car and sent Gu Lian back to Fangfei Hall.

Now the banquet was over, Baili Jiuge stood at the gate of the palace, watching the carriage carrying Gu Lian set off, feeling restless as if a hole had been leaked in his heart.

"Mo Li..." She called out to the person she was holding hands with, although she was glad that he was not taken away by Heluo Kingdom, but Gu Lian suffered such a blow...

Unable to think about it anymore, his heart was sore as if being submerged in a vast expanse of ocean, Baili Jiuge decided to go to Fangfei Museum, firstly to visit Gu Lian, secondly because he was afraid that Dai Dai and the others would cause trouble again.

Regarding her decision, Mo Li gave her support with a light smile and accompanied her.

That night, the entire Fangfei Pavilion was filled with a strange atmosphere, as if it was upside down, all the praise and praise of Gu Lian in the past, now became the most ugly irony and ridicule.

People's words are scary and hurt people the most, and Baili Jiuge walked from the first floor to the third floor amidst these one after another remarks, and pushed open the door of Gu Lian's room.

At this moment, she was almost knocked to the ground by Gu Lian.

"Get out! Get out! Are you here to see my jokes? Now that I have become the laughing stock of the whole court, you should be satisfied, why bother to make trouble again?!"

These stern and pathetic words pierced Baili Jiuge's heart like a dagger, and she suddenly stood there, staring at the tearful and ruined person in front of her.That appearance was very much like another person——Yin Liehuo who lost his adoptive father. At that time, he also collapsed and was defeated, like an afterimage walking out of the Shura field.

But when Gu Lian saw that it was Baili Jiuge, he was stunned, and after a while he smiled hysterically: "So...it's you, I thought it was..."

"...Who is it?" Baili Jiuge asked instinctively.

Gu Lian just smiled wryly and didn't answer. She walked into the room crookedly, and Baili Jiuge led Mo Li into the room, closed the door, and saw that in Gu Lian's room, there were vases, teacups, The glazed cup was shattered all over the place, everything that could be thrown and smashed had been smashed, and the whole room was in a mess...

Baili Jiuge's heart felt sour, and he comforted him, "Gu Lian, no matter what, you must think about it."

Gu Lian leaned weakly on a rattan chair, and smiled miserably: "What do I think is useful now? It turns out that all my hard work and longing so far are just to make an ironic joke... "

While talking, two lines of tears fell down the cheeks, and suddenly, looking at Mo Li miserably, "Zhou Shizi..." The corners of his lips curled up into a sad cry, "Let me say sorry to you, it is my wife I've been too selfish, been dreaming a big empty dream, and made my best sister sad."

Mo Li said lightly: "Life is full of ups and downs, Miss Gu, don't belittle yourself. Although you are not satisfied today, in the future, you will be full of spirits."

Gu Lian shook her head, and said with a miserable smile: "Thank you, Prince Zhou, for comforting me, I have nothing left, and if I stay in the Fangfei Hall, it will only cause trouble for Madam Bustard, and I can no longer hurt those who treat me well. people."

Hearing the meaning of these words, Baili Jiuge was startled: "Gu Lian, you want to leave Fangfei Pavilion?"

She nodded.

"But where are you going after you leave here?"

"Anywhere is good, at least it's a new beginning..." Looking at the silhouette of the rolling hills in the distance, the red maple tree is dyed red all over the mountain.

Baili Jiuge couldn't stand it anymore, took a deep breath, came to Gu Lian, held Gu Lian's hand and said firmly: "Since this is your choice, then I will find you a temporary shelter for you to take care of yourself." Adjust your status, you should move to the Shizi Mansion first."

Gu Lian was completely stunned, and couldn't believe what he heard, looking at Baili Jiuge's bright eyes, they were so bright, clear, unwavering, like a sword out of dust.

In front of such brilliance, Gu Lian only felt ashamed.The person in front of me can go forward indomitably, without fear or regret, for what his heart desires, but what about himself?He only thought about how to be among the famous ladies, begged for Mo Li's favor, and wanted to escape when he was hit by a setback...Compared with the willful and open-minded woman in front of him, this kind of self is simply a clown!

Gu Lian smiled miserably, as if she finally understood why Mo Li liked Jiu Ge instead of her.

"Thank you for your kindness, Jiu Ge." Finally said: "The Shizi Mansion is your home, and I will not bother you any more."

"Gu Lian..." Baili Jiuge was very distressed, and said again: "If you don't want to, I won't force it, so let's do it like this, I will go talk with Liehuo, I want her to guard the Duke Protector's mansion alone It must be very lonely, and she would be happy if you lived in the past."

Gu Lian smiled moved: "Jiu Ge... Thank you very much."

"Why are you being polite!" Patting Gu Lian's hand, he said with a big smile, "We are good sisters, aren't we? Even if the sky falls, it won't change!"

After saying that, he said to Mo Li: "I'm going to find Lie Huo now, Mo Li, don't bother, wait here for me to come back, and then we will send Gu Lian to Lie Huo's house together."

Mo Li was about to open her lips, but at this moment, there was a burst of noise outside the house, it was the noisy and crisp sounds of the women one after another.

Someone laughed in a strange way: "Hey, isn't this Mr. Mo Yi? Did you come to Fangfei Hall to comfort sister Wu Fairy? Oh, I was wrong, I was wrong, how can there be such a sister Wu Fairy?" , there is only Gu Lian, who has ruined his reputation!"

It was clearly Dai Dai's acrimonious ridicule, which caused Baili Jiuge to change face angrily, and immediately opened the door and rushed out.
