Miss Xiao was reprimanded by Liu Zhao face to face, how embarrassing it is, how uncomfortable it is, outsiders can't understand.
Gu Jiu gave her an embarrassed smile, this really has nothing to do with her. It's all because Liu Zhao, that bastard, is not good and intentionally sows hatred.
Miss Xiao turned her head and snorted, but did not respond to Gu Jiu's eyes.
Miss Xiao didn't dare to bear the grudge against Liu Zhao, she had nowhere to vent her anger. As Liu Zhao's fiancée, Gu Jiu had to be hated and criticized by Miss Xiao.
Gu Jiu gritted her teeth, and secretly glared at Liu Zhao.
Liu Zhao said solemnly: "Cousin Xiao is dissatisfied with me?"
Miss Xiao was wronged immediately, she was the one who was reprimanded, she didn't say anything to criticize Liu Zhao, but Liu Zhao blamed her first. So shameless.
"How dare I be dissatisfied with Cousin Zhao."
Miss Xiao lowered her eyebrows and looked pleasing to the eye, like a pissed off daughter-in-law.
Liu Yi couldn't stand it anymore, "Brother, what do you mean? Qin'er didn't offend you, why did you make things difficult for her. If you have any dissatisfaction, come to me, not Qin'er."
Miss Xiao was overjoyed, her cheeks were slightly flushed, and she looked at Liu Yi like she was looking at a hero.
Liu Zhao casually squinted at Liu Yi.
Liu Yi was so irritated by Liu Zhao's eyes that he was going crazy.
Liu Zhao said with a straight face and a serious face: "It's embarrassing to point out what's wrong. May I ask which gentleman taught you this truth, fourth brother?"
Gu Jiu felt a strong sense of oppression when he said "fourth brother".
She secretly observed, is the relationship between the two brothers really so bad? In front of the elders, don't you need to hide it
Liu Yi gritted his teeth and said, "I only know that as a man, it's embarrassing to embarrass a woman."
Liu Zhao said indifferently, "Go back and read more books."
"you… "
"Ahem..."
Concubine Shu covered her mouth and coughed twice, Liu Yi immediately stopped talking, "Grandma, are you okay?"
Concubine Shu waved her hand, "I'm fine. Your brother taught you a lesson, just listen to it."
Liu Yi lowered his head, looking obedient and aggrieved. Concubine Jiang Shu felt distressed.
Concubine Shu stared from the sidelines, ignoring King Ning who was teaching her two sons.
Ning Wang laughed and pretended to be stupid.
The two brothers quarreled, don't care.
I think he and his brothers came here like this back then.
As a child of the royal family, if you expect the elders to help you get ahead in everything, you will still be a child of the royal family.
King Ning believes that children need to be tempered and encouraged by opponents.
As long as it doesn't rise to the point of fighting or killing people, he won't bother to care about how the sons fight openly and secretly.
That's how he came here back then, there was no reason why his son could be more leisurely than his father.
Concubine Shu had nothing to do with King Ning, her eyes turned cold, and she stared at Liu Zhao indifferently.
"Zhao'er, as the eldest brother, when you sit down, you just swear at your head and face. How decent is it? This is the Changchun Palace. You didn't even ask me, and you started to lecture others. Do you still have any problems?" I?"
Concubine Shu's accusation was indeed a bit serious. It was short of directly accusing Liu Zhao of being unfilial.
Liu Zhao said expressionlessly: "Grandmother, please forgive me, my grandson is indeed a little anxious. But my grandson still hopes that my grandmother can discipline my cousin Xiao and her fourth brother well. It shouldn't be."
Concubine Shu's face collapsed, "I like them like this, so you also want to take care of them?"
"Of course grandson can't control the affairs of Changchun Palace. It's just a passing mention."
Concubine Shu snorted coldly, looking at Liu Zhao with colder eyes.
Gu Jiu secretly glanced at Liu Zhao, no wonder the elders like it.
Liu Zhao's words can choke people to death, it's no wonder some elders like him.
Gu Jiu suddenly became curious. The Liu Zhao she knew was a person who spoke with a sense of propriety, and he also acted with a sense of propriety. He was not the kind of person who would just spout nonsense if he didn't like it.
Why did Liu Zhao act like an unreliable, stubborn and unlovable 'gentleman' in front of his elders.
Gu Jiu couldn't figure it out, what's the benefit of Liu Zhao doing this
Concubine Shu said to Liu Yi: "Don't pay attention to your elder brother, teach people all day long, and stay away from him in the future."
Liu Yi looked at Liu Zhao, and then said, "I'll follow my grandmother's advice. But maybe my eldest brother is doing it for my own good."
Concubine Shu felt sorry for Liu Yi more and more, and felt that Liu Yi was more sensible and considerate than Liu Zhao.
Concubine Shu glared at Liu Zhao, "Your brother is more sensible than you, so don't scare Shiro from now on."
Liu Zhao glanced at Liu Yi with a half-smile, and Liu Yi looked at Liu Zhao calmly.
The eyes of the two brothers met in the air, and sparks flew.
Gu Jiu looked around, and she suddenly realized that she really underestimated the children of the royal family.
What Sister Mei said is absolutely correct, all the emperor's grandchildren are human beings.
Liu Yi's anger, rage, and grievances are all a wonderful scene, and the audience is Concubine Shu.
Everything he said, everything he did, and even every expression he made was to win Concubine Shu's love.
The more Concubine Shu loves him, the less she loves Liu Zhao, and even hates Liu Zhao.
As for Miss Xiao, Gu Jiu believed that she was really wronged, her acting skills were far inferior to Liu Yi's.
Liu Zhao suddenly looked at Gu Jiu.
This was the first time he looked straight at Gu Jiu after he entered the hall.
Gu Jiu raised her eyebrows slightly: See what this girl is doing
Liu Zhao lowered his head and smiled with playful eyes.
Gu Jiu frowned, she couldn't understand Liu Zhao more and more.
Concubine Shu asked Ning Wang, "Why are you free to visit me today?"
King Ning said with a smile: "As long as he is free, the son will come to visit the concubine mother."
Concubine Shu was happy when she heard this, and her eyes became softer.
She laughed, "A man who is a lot of age, who will be a grandfather in two years, is still so glib."
King Ning said with a smile: "No matter how old I am, I am the son of my concubine."
These words made Concubine Shu very useful, she laughed for a while before asking: "Have you been to see your father?"
King Ning nodded, "I've seen it. Father recently got a new beauty, and he was so happy that he didn't want to leave, so he drove his son out impatiently."
Concubine Shu snorted coldly, "The queen is about to... Your father still has the heart to pamper the beauty. Three years ago, the queen would have killed that beauty."
"That's why my son said that the newly favored beauty had good luck and caught up with a good time."
Concubine Shu laughed, "It's fine to say this in front of the palace, but don't yell outside. If it reaches the queen's ears, be careful not to eat it and walk around."
King Ning laughed, looking tired and lazy, "Mother and concubine don't worry, my son knows what's good or bad."
Concubine Shu relaxed her whole body, leaning on the back of the chair, "There are only a few days left in Weiyang Palace, but they still refuse to stop. These days, I have cheered up the palace, so be careful. Especially Gu Jiu, the empress I will summon you at any time, do you know what to say and what not to say?"
Gu Jiu bowed slightly, "My daughter knows."
Concubine Shu nodded slightly, "It's good to be cautious in your words and deeds. If you cause any trouble, I won't let you go."
"My daughter dare not!"
Liu Zhao suddenly said: "Grandmother, let the two of them retreat."
Concubine Shu looked at Liu Zhao, nodded slightly, "Take Qin'er, and Gu Jiu goes down to settle down. Let the two of them have dinner here in the palace at night."
"Follow the order."
Gu Jiu hurriedly got up, followed the maid and retreated.
She was still thinking, King Ning mentioned that the emperor had a new beauty, could it be Jiang Yan
It shouldn't be Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan has no support in the palace, so it is extremely difficult to see His Majesty, let alone gain His Majesty's favor.
Moreover, even if he is favored by His Majesty, it may not be a good thing.
You know, His Majesty is already an old man in his early sixties. Calculated according to the average life expectancy of men in this era and the average life expectancy of the emperor, the remaining life span is not much.
If you are favored but have no children, your Majesty will end up in a bad situation after his Majesty passes away.
Gu Jiu just left the hall with wild thoughts.
Liu Zhao frowned, what was this woman Gu Jiu thinking, he gave her a wink, but there was no response.
Even in the palace, he dared to lose his mind, and simply didn't know how to write the word "death".
When he finds an opportunity, he must teach Gu Jiu a good lesson.
Gu Jiu and Miss Xiao were arranged in a side room in the side hall.
The two looked at each other speechlessly, and the scene was awkward for a while.
After sitting for a while, Miss Xiao became a little impatient, so she simply got up and left.
The palace people didn't stop them, and even chatted and laughed with Miss Xiao.
Sure enough, Miss Xiao was familiar with the Changchun Palace.
Only Gu Jiu and Qing Mei's master and servant were left in the wing room, Gu Jiu heaved a sigh of relief and felt much more at ease.
Finally passed another level.
Qing Mei asked with concern: "Girl, are you alright?"
Gu Jiu shook his head, "It's okay. You are guarding at the door. Young Master Zhao is coming, remember to remind me. I'll take a close look first."
She was almost exhausted, and she had been tense since entering the palace early in the morning. The life in this palace is really not for human beings.
Qingmei was surprised, "Has Young Master Zhao also entered the palace?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "He should find an opportunity to come over later, you should keep an eye on it so that no one will find out."
"The servant understands."
Gu Jiu closed her eyes and rested her mind, half asleep and half awake, her head gradually turned into a mess.
There seems to be a breeze blowing on the face, soft and warm, just like being in spring.
Gu Jiu showed a smile. After laughing, I suddenly felt something was wrong.
She is in the palace, how could she dream of spring, she must be out of her mind.
The imperial palace can only remind people of the cold winter.
She suddenly opened her eyes, staring at Liu Zhao who was sitting opposite.
"Why did you come in? Where's Qingmei?"
"She's guarding outside."
Liu Zhao stared at Gu Jiu with deep meaning in his eyes.
Gu Jiu wiped her face, "What are you staring at me for?"
"Do you drool when you sleep?"
ahh...
Gu Jiu quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth, how could she be drooling, it was definitely a slander, for sure.
Liu Zhao secretly smiled when he saw Gu Jiu's crazy appearance.
He will never let Gu Jiu know, he just likes to see her like a little wild cat.
After wiping the corners of his mouth, Gu Jiu rinsed his mouth with ice-cold boiled water and tidied himself up after a long time.
Seeing her sitting down again, Liu Zhao asked, "What do you want to say to me?"
"You... you come here, is it okay?"
Liu Zhao shook his head slowly, "You don't have to worry about my son's affairs. Tell me, what do you want to do with me? In the hall before, I knew you had something to say when I saw your eyes were almost limping."
Gu Jiu twitched her eyebrows, she was really irritable.
Her face became angry, and she said with a sullen face: "The empress asked me if I met you in the northwest? I denied it. She seems to know something. Let me see, the empress will not let it go."
Liu Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly, "My lord knows about this matter. Is there anything else?"
Gu Jiu gritted her teeth and complained: "I was forced into this situation, all because of you. Do you know how difficult and helpless it is for me to be alone in the palace
I was really afraid, drinking a glass of water and eating a mouthful of food, I died in the palace, quietly.
I used to live well, but because of your appearance, my peaceful life was completely broken. You are the culprit.
Where did I get your favor and let you choose me as your wife? I can't return it yet. "
This girl is mad at me.
Gu Jiu's eyes filled with tears.
She unabashedly vented all her grievances, helplessness, and fears to Liu Zhao.
In Weiyang Palace, when the queen pinched her mandible and questioned her, how terrified and helpless she was.
At that time, once the empress wanted to kill her, who could she turn to for help? She can't beg anyone, and her death is in vain.
And she is most afraid of pain, the Empress is clearly a sick person, but her hand strength is frighteningly strong.
At that time, she really hated Liu Zhao to death and dragged him into this battle for succession.
Gu Jiu has never been wronged like this, even if Mrs. Xie made things difficult for her, she has never been wronged and felt sorry for herself. Because she has a retreat, she can be calm enough.
However, facing the situation in front of her, she has no way out, and can only be forced to embark on the thorny road and move forward with a heavy load.
She has just stepped on this road, and she has already seen the cruelty of it.
A handkerchief appeared in front of Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu looked up at Liu Zhao, "I don't want to use your handkerchief."
Liu Zhao said calmly: "You have been dragged in by me, and you have no way out."
hateful!
Gu Jiu stared at him and said solemnly, "I want to quit."
Liu Zhao shook his head slowly, and said indifferently: "The imperial decree has been issued, and the only way to quit is to die."
Gu Jiu stared at Liu Zhao bitterly, "It's all because of you."
Liu Zhao nodded, "I admit, all this is because of me."
"You are shameless!" Gu Jiu scolded angrily.
Liu Zhao nodded again, "I am indeed shameless."
Gu Jiu was so angry that he raised his foot and kicked Liu Zhao's feet hard.
Liu Zhao felt no pain or itching, stretched out his hand, and stroked Gu Jiu's eyelids with his fingertips.
Gu Jiu turned her head and avoided it.
Liu Zhao stubbornly refused to let go, "When you're done crying, you should continue laughing."
Gu Jiu clenched her fist and punched Liu Zhao.
Liu Zhao said solemnly: "You can hit him a few more times, it won't hurt."
Gu Jiu suffered 10,000 points of damage, vomited blood and died.
"Go away, I don't want to see you."
Gu Jiu pushed Liu Zhao away, but did not push.
Liu Zhao was straightforward, took Gu Jiu's hand, and placed it on his cheek, "Do you want to slap here to vent your anger?"
Neuropathy!
Gu Jiu struggled.
Liu Zhao refused to let go, took her hand and hit him on the face.
Snapped!
Gu Jiu was startled.
Liu Zhao asked, "Have you calmed down?"
Gu Jiu turned her head and gritted her teeth, "What do you want me to do? To put it bluntly, you don't need to play tricks."
Liu Zhao stretched out his hand and wiped away the tears from the corners of Gu Jiu's eyes, "You don't look good when you cry, you're ugly! You look good when you smile."
Gu Jiu was dizzy.
You are ugly, and your whole family is ugly.
Liu Zhao frowned, staring at Gu Jiu with dissatisfaction, "Are you secretly scolding me again?"
Gu Jiu snorted, but remained silent.
Liu Zhao simply took Gu Jiu's hand and sat down beside her.
Gu Jiu struggled a few times, but she didn't break free, so she could only let Liu Zhao hold her hand.
That's enough, does this man like holding women's hands so much
Liu Zhao stared at Gu Jiu, "The empress suddenly called you into the palace, I miscalculated. But you don't have to worry too much, the empress will not touch you."
Gu Jiu sneered, "That's not necessarily the case. The Queen's time is running out. I won't be surprised if I do any crazy things at the last moment."
Liu Zhao said solemnly: "The only thing to worry about is that she will use tricks to force you to tell the truth."
Gu Jiu said softly, "Don't worry, I won't reveal a single word about the Northwest."
"I trust you, but I don't trust the queen. She may use any means against you. Think carefully, is there any loophole that the queen will use?"
Gu Jiu frowned and thought deeply, "Does Qingmei count? Will the empress torture Qingmei? Then what should I do?"
Gu Jiu was worried and anxious.
Liu Zhao held her hand tightly, and his fingertips slid across the corner of her mouth.
Gu Jiu was stunned, he punched Liu Zhao with his fist, and said righteously: "Don't touch me."
Liu Zhao bowed his head slightly, smiled, and then said solemnly: "At this time, everyone is wrestling. The queen is not demented, and will not leave a mess for His Highness the Crown Prince at this time. I think she will start from other aspects. Start. Think carefully."
Gu Jiu thought about it for a while, and suddenly said: "Xie's family! At that time, Mr. Xie Er was in the northwest, and Xie Xian even met Zhao Huwei."
