Chapter 713 The Grand Finale (4)
When the group entered the palace, Empress Dowager Luo's personal nanny was already at the gate of the palace. After saluting King Duan, they led him to the Shoukang Palace.

Chang Manshou secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that Gu Guibi had already arranged everything.

King Duan couldn't see any joy or anger on his face. Once he entered the Shoukang Palace and saluted Empress Dowager Luo, he acted as if he didn't see Concubine Gu Gui and another female official who was standing beside Empress Luo, and said why he came: " It was only when Eunuch Chang came to pass on the emperor's grandmother's edict, that the grandson knew that Wei's mother and son had both contracted smallpox a few days ago, it's a shame that Wei has been hiding it from his grandson, and now his grandson is angry and hateful , but you can't let the whole family fall into her hands!"

Let out a long breath bitterly, "Grandmother also knows that Shi Shi and Jiang Shi in the grandson's room are about to give birth. In the past, Wei Shi was in charge, so grandson doesn't have to pay attention to these trivial matters. Although Wei Wei is jealous, Forgive her for not daring to murder the royal family, but now the Wei family can't take care of herself, and her grandson doesn't dare to let her out, so I want to ask the emperor's grandmother to allow her grandson to pick up her mother and concubine and go out for a while, and take care of her grandson. In the mansion, the grandson can also feel at ease. The grandson also knows that his request is a bit unreasonable, but if something happens to Wei's mother and son... the grandson really has no way not to pay attention to the children in the womb of Shi and Jiang. Grandmother, please take pity on your grandson and grant your grandson's request!"

After speaking, he knelt down on the spot and bowed deeply.

Empress Dowager Luo saw her favorite grandson for the first time, and almost couldn't help crying to him for help, but when she saw the master and servant of Gu Guipin next to her, she couldn't hold it back. She had already lost a grandson and couldn't do it any more. Another one!

Unexpectedly, the grandson actually said that his grandson-in-law and a pair of great-grandchildren had contracted smallpox, and then proposed to take Concubine Xiao Ding out of the palace for a short stay. Empress Dowager Luo was anxious at first, why did these things happen one after another? Could it be that Murong is dying Shi?

But then she realized that she was afraid that her grandson already knew something, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence, maybe the life of her mother and child is here... At the moment, she doesn't care what Empress Xu told her in advance, Gu Guipin's master and servant He was staring at the side again, and said without hesitation: "Why did Wei's mother and son suddenly contract smallpox? Is it because of this that you didn't let them enter the palace to serve the sick? You have done a good job, you can't Let everyone in the palace be implicated by their mother and child!"

As he said that, ignoring Gu Guifei's wink at the side, and said: "As for your saying that you want to take over Dingfei and go out of the palace temporarily to sit in town for you, although it doesn't make sense, but the law is the same. Human favors are not incomparable, Ai's family agrees, you can go pick her up in the Concubine Ding's palace right now, after Shi Shi and Jiang Shi have both successfully given birth to their children, it will not be too late to send her back to the palace!"

"Grandson thanks the imperial grandmother for her kindness! Grandson is leaving!" Hearing this, Prince Duan was overjoyed, kowtowed to Empress Dowager Luo, got up and wanted to go to Concubine Xiao Ding's Yunyi Palace.

But he only took two steps when he was called out by a female voice: "His Royal Highness, wait a minute!"

The person who spoke was none other than Gu Guipin.

King Duan clasped his fists and said with a smile: "I don't know what orders Gu Meiren has for calling me?" He used to go in and out of the Shoukang Palace often, so he naturally recognized Gu Guifei. He hadn't thought the latter was suspicious before, but now it was too late. up.

Concubine Gu Gui didn't bother to correct what King Duan called her wrong, anyway, there is no need to correct these now, she just leaned over and smiled: "I don't dare to obey the order, I just think that no matter what you say, the concubine Ding is the second only to the empress in the harem." The empress and concubine empress's characters, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to go out of the palace easily, aside from other things, at least have to obtain the consent of the empress empress first, so I stopped His Highness Duan Wang, and please don't blame him, please also ask the Queen Mother Mistress, think twice!"

The word 'think twice' was deliberately bitten by her very hard, and the eyes that looked at Queen Mother Luo from an angle that King Duan could not see were also full of warning and threat.

It's a pity that King Duan didn't buy it, he just smiled lightly and said: "Oh, this king doesn't know what to do when the emperor's grandmother is the Queen Mother and mother-in-law, who should be respected by the empress in public and in private. What's the point of looking at the queen's eyes instead! This king is not nice to say, isn't Gu Meiren a palace servant? How come she doesn't even know the most basic of superiority and inferiority?"

Concubine Gu Gui was ashamed and annoyed by what was said, and for a moment Fang forced a smile and said: "His Royal Highness Duan is serious, and my concubine has no such intentions. I just think that the empress dowager and the empress dowager's mother-in-law have always...not deal with each other very much, but now His Royal Highness became the prince again. He was afraid that after this incident, the suspicion between the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager would become even greater, which would be detrimental to the future of the Empress Dowager, so she talked too much. Harming the empress dowager is not enough, please ask the empress dowager to learn."

This slut actually has the face to say something like, "The empress dowager treats concubines with such kindness as a mountain. Could it be that concubines will harm the empress dowager?" Then what is she doing now?
Empress Dowager Luo was so angry that the corners of her heart twitched, she clenched her fists and was about to speak, when King Duan smiled lightly and said: "Sooner or later the imperial grandmother and the empress will not get along very well, sooner or later there will be another relationship between the two of you." There is a rift, Gu Meiren doesn't even know the truth of "unrequited relatives"? Also, a filial person like the Great Emperor, according to Gu Meiren, is actually saying that the Great Emperor is not filial? Gu Beauties, please be careful with your words!"

After a pause, without waiting for Gu Guifei to speak, he continued: "However, since Gu Meiren's words have reached this point, it's really not right for me not to ask the Queen Mother for instructions, then I will go to Fengfeng again. Hall of Rites, didn’t it mean that the father will be raised in the queen mother’s hall, and this king can take this opportunity to visit the father, which is also the filial piety of this king as a son and minister.”

What she said made Gu Guipin's face turn green, but she really didn't know how to stop King Duan in such a bright day, she couldn't let Jin Wuwei kill King Duan too?Those civil and military officials really want to be dissatisfied, and General Wei will definitely not let it go, far water can't save near fire, but too much water will kill people!
I didn't wait for her at some time, and it was too late to go back to Fengyi Hall to ask the empress for instructions or to send a letter to the Duke of the country... I could only apologize to Empress Dowager Luo with an apologetic smile: "His Royal Highness Duan Wang is right, all concubines don't know the rules. , It’s overkill, please don’t be as knowledgeable as your concubine, Empress Dowager.”

Empress Dowager Luo couldn't help feeling happy, even if Gu Guipin suffered a little loss in words, she felt extremely relieved, and said: "Since you know you are wrong, the Ai family will not be as knowledgeable as you, only you You need to remember, you are just an ant, even if you lean against a big tree, you will always be just an ant! Shener, what are you still doing, why don't you pick your mother and concubine quickly?"

Gu Guipin clenched her fists angrily at the contempt and disdain in Empress Dowager Luo's words, but she was even more worried that Duan Wang would notice something unusual from Empress Dowager Luo's words. After all, it is well known that Empress Dowager Luo has always treated her well, and it is impossible for no reason Saying such heavy words to her, as the saying goes, "if something goes wrong, you will be a demon", what if King Duan notices something?
