As soon as she finished speaking, Fu Rong's face changed drastically, and she hurriedly knelt down.
Duke Ding's complexion instantly distorted, and he was a bit scary. He coldly gouged out the Queen's eyes, and his eyes were dark, "Queen, please be careful."
The queen's face suddenly darkened, and a touch of sarcasm flashed in her eyes, and she said in a low voice, "Mr. Ding has engraved etiquette in his heart all his life, and taught us to abide by it since childhood, but now it seems that only state officials are allowed to set fires, and the common people are not allowed to light lamps."
She sneered, "Mr. Ding, this palace is the queen of the middle palace, the mother of the world, one person is below ten thousand, why don't you kneel when you see this palace?"
The muscles at the corners of Dingguogong's mouth twitched. He looked at the queen for a long time before showing a little satisfaction, "Your Majesty looks like the mother of a country now."
As he said this, he lifted his robe and knelt down slowly, with an air of obedience.
Looking coldly at Dingguo's obedience, the queen felt angry and depressed, but he was her biological father after all, and she could make him kneel when saluting, but she couldn't do anything else. Otherwise, everyone in the world could drown him with a spit.
She closed her eyes severely, and said weakly, "I'm tired, Lord Ding, please kneel down."
Duke Ding wanted to say something, but he endured it, for the time being.
"Minister, leave."
He got up and turned to leave.
However, the Queen's faint voice sounded behind her, "Duke Ding trespassed on the inner hall of Changchun Palace today. I think you are the first offender, so I don't care about it. I also hope that Duke Ding will abide by the etiquette in the future and don't commit any crimes again."
Duke Ding paused, his eyes flickered, and he strode away.
When he left the Changchun Palace, he ran into Gu Yan who was in a hurry to visit the queen.
Gu Yan at this time is no longer the pitiful eldest princess of the past.
He has already recovered his status as the second son of the empress, and the information on the Jade Document has been changed.
Now King Ding bears the notoriety of treason, and King Kang has long lost the possibility of becoming an emperor because of his life experience. The eldest prince Xianwang is sick and unable to get out of bed, and the fourth prince Pingwang is incompetent. In the whole of South Vietnam, only Gu Yan has some confidence. In addition, the night of the Supreme Emperor’s birthday banquet touched Emperor Shengyuan somehow. Climbing up with Gu Yan, not to mention a lot of wives of ministers who want him to be their son-in-law.
The two met on a narrow road at the gate of Changchun Palace.
Gu Yan stood tall and tall, slowly stopped in his tracks, and looked at Ding Guogong with a gloomy face.
Dingguo Gong stopped, and he fixedly looked at Gu Yan's familiar face, his pupils shrank almost invisible, and slowly suppressed the disgust in his heart, a little smile came from the corner of his mouth, and he greeted slowly, "Third prince."
Gu Yanqing glanced at him coldly, then nodded slightly, "Mr. Ding."
But he didn't call out for grandpa.
His mind was not on Duke Ding, he looked at Fu Rong who came out of the inner hall, and there was a hint of a smile in his eyes, "Auntie, how is the queen mother?"
While speaking, he already brushed Ding Guogong away.
Duke Ding bowed slightly, the corners of his mouth trembled sharply, and he gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "Things that don't know etiquette."
After all, he flung his sleeves and left.
Furong looked at Gu Yan worriedly, "Your Highness shouldn't annoy Duke Ding, he..."
Gu Yan smiled, the person he cares most about now, besides Xiao Jiu, is the Queen, and again, the Ninth Prince, and King Ding barely counts as one.
Now that Duke Ding has such an ugly face, he is worried that the queen will be angry, and he is keenly aware of Duke Ding's dislike for him and the occasional fleeting killing intent, so naturally he will not give him a good face.
"I'm going to see the queen mother."
He crossed Furong and entered the inner hall. The queen was lying weakly on the bed. Hearing the movement, it seemed that Gu Yan was coming. A smile appeared on her pale face, "Yan'er, come..."
Gu Yan strode towards her, and gently helped her up, "Mother, be careful, I will help you."
"Is there any news about your brother and sister-in-law?"
As soon as the queen climbed onto his arm, she couldn't help nervously asking about Gu Jiuxiao's news.
The smile on Gu Yan's face stagnated, and he shook his head slowly.
A trace of disappointment flashed in the queen's eyes, she was terrified, she grabbed his sleeve and said anxiously, "Will he be okay? He was injured by the assassin again that night, and I..."
Thinking of the hairpin she had stuck in the past, the queen couldn't control the pain. She was shaking uncomfortably, crying so hard that she could hardly breathe, "I regret it so much, Yan'er, I regret it, I regret it..."
Gu Yan hugged her distressedly, and comforted her softly, "Mother, it's not your fault. The most important thing now is your body. If the second brother comes back one day and sees the mother like this..."
The queen was startled by his words, and then began to say nervously, "Yes, yes, I want to cheer up, you two have suffered so much, only I can protect you if I cheer up, I want to give you the best..."
As she spoke, she seemed to think of something, looked at Gu Yan excitedly, and said softly, "Yan'er's age should be called kissing, is there a girl Yan'er likes?"
Although the queen is ill, the news is not too far behind. She still knows that Gu Yan is now a figure that the family is vying to curry favor with. Her pale face is full of smiles, "Yan'er deserves the best woman in the world."
The smile in Gu Yan's eyes faded, he was silent for a while, and then laughed at himself, "The best woman in the world doesn't belong to me..."
The queen was stunned for a moment, and then smiled softly, "Yan'er has a girl he likes? Which girl is it? Don't underestimate yourself, how about the queen mother marrying you for you?"
Gu Yan took a deep look at the queen, his eyes were very strange, which made the queen vaguely aware that something was wrong, and felt uneasy, "Can't you say it?"
