As soon as Gu Jinmi opened the door, a man rushed over. Gu Jinmi looked at the familiar scene and quickly took a step back. What a joke! He rushed over like this, and she didn't fall down.
Zhu Xuan almost stumbled and fell to the ground, then looked at Gu Jinmi with a wronged face and said, "Queen, how could you treat me like this! I almost fell just now!"
"Ahem, that." She was still a little uncomfortable with the man who was acting like a spoiled child to her, and said, "Well, my body just happened to be bumped into by you. I was worried that I would be bumped back into the bed by you if I wasn't careful."
Zhu Xuan looked at Gu Jinmi with an aggrieved expression and said, "Queen, are you complaining that I am too heavy?"
"No, no." Gu Jinmi couldn't help but stretched out her hand and pinched Zhu Xuan's cheek. There was no way, who made Zhu Xuan look so cute with a baby face! I couldn't help but ask someone to pinch it!
"You're still saying no, but Your Majesty, you've pinched my face." Zhu Xuan said as he touched the place where Gu Jinmi had pinched her.
"No, no, that's because my Zhu Fei is so cute!" Gu Jinmi looked at the red claw marks on Zhu Xuan's face and quickly retracted her hand. She felt so guilty! Just a few simple pinches left marks. Her skin was so tender.
"The Queen only knows how to say nice things to please me." Zhu Xuan said to Gu Jinmi with a shy face.
"Zhu Fei, you are going too far." The man in red standing nearby couldn't help but speak.
"Brother Mei Fei, Zhu'er knows she is wrong." After saying that, she immediately got up from Gu Jinmi's body.
Gu Jinmi looked to the side and it seemed that this person should be Concubine Mei! You know, Concubine Mei is the leader of the four concubines, and she is also the eldest brother among the four men. They all listen to the eldest brother!
"Mei'er, there's no need to be like this. Zhu'er is very good and cute like this. I like it very much."
Zhu Xuan looked at Gu Jinmi with surprise and said, "Queen, is it true?"
"Well, of course, when have I ever lied to you, Zhu'er?" You know, among these four people, Zhuxuan can be said to be the best one to the original owner. Perhaps it is also because Zhu'er is the youngest, so he is protected by the first three people. It can be said that he truly loves the original owner! The original owner also dotes on him.
Mei Fei looked at Gu Jinmi and said, "Empress, this etiquette cannot be abolished."
"Mei'er, you are too boring! There are so many rules in the palace, who can avoid breaking them? What's more, I, the queen, didn't say anything." Gu Jinmi walked over and lifted Mei's chin and said.
"This, I dare not say anything more." Was it his illusion? Why did he seem to see a hint of smile in the Queen's eyes just now!
"By the way, haven't Lan'er and Ju'er come back yet?"
"No, but I guess they are on their way back!" Mei Xi said.
"Well, OK, I understand. You guys go down first! I'm fine now. I don't need anyone to take care of me here."
"Ah! How can this be possible! Queen, you have just recovered from a serious illness. No, Zhu'er has to stay and take care of you, Queen."
"Zhu Xuan." Mei Xi said sternly. This Zhu Xuan is really not afraid of offending the Queen! Although the Queen dotes on them, she does not allow others to question her! "Queen, Zhu Xuan is still young and does not know the etiquette. Please do not blame him!"
"Haha, why blame me? I just like Zhu'er's personality. You don't have to kneel down all the time. I'm not a tyrant." Gu Jinmi sighed and said. It seems that except for a good impression from Zhu'er, I'm afraid I won't get any benefits from the other three!
"Haha, I knew it, Queen, you are the best to Zhu'er."
"But! You can't even take care of yourself, are you sure you can take care of me?" Gu Jinmi said jokingly.
Zhu Xuan looked at Gu Jinmi with an embarrassed look on his face. In fact, he really couldn't take care of himself! In his daily life, the three brothers in front took care of it for him, but "Queen, don't worry, I will take good care of you."
"Haha, I believe you. But Zhu'er, you must have not slept for several days! Look at the dark circles under your eyes. I am so heartbroken to see you like this! Besides, you are not beautiful like this!"
"Ah! Not beautiful." When Zhu Xuan heard Gu Jinmi's words, he quickly covered his face and said, "In this case, I'd better go back and have a good rest before coming to see you, the Queen!" After that, he ran away quickly.
Gu Jinmi laughed immediately when she saw Zhuxuan's leaving back. He was just like a child!
"Who are you? You are not the queen." Mei Xi said sternly.
"Oh! I'm not the queen, then tell me who I am!"
"Although I don't know who you are, I know that the Queen will never treat Zhu'er like you do. Who are you?"
"Haha, who am I? I might as well ask you what your identities are."
Mei Yu looked at Gu Jinmi in shock, but still pretended to be calm and said, "Identity? What kind of identity do we have?"
"Hmph! Is it true or not? Don't think I don't know who you belong to. Although I say I don't care about state affairs, it doesn't mean I'm stupid. It's just that sometimes I prefer to turn a blind eye." Gu Jinmi said first.
"you."
"In fact, after I had this serious illness, I have figured it out. Or do you think I really don't know that I am just a pawn in the hands of my imperial sister and the queen mother. The queen mother used me to cover up her tracks. In the end, she still wanted to protect my imperial sister. In fact, sometimes I really don't understand. Obviously, my imperial sister and I were both born by the queen mother, but the queen mother puts all her thoughts on the imperial sister and even plots against me. Is the only value of my life to protect my imperial sister?" Gu Jinmi looked at the sky with some sadness.
"From the moment my younger sister was born, I knew that my mother favored her. In order to gain her praise, I could only study very hard. Every year, I received praise from the teachers in the academy, but I never received a greeting from my mother. Over time, I knew that no matter what I did, in my mother's heart, I would never be better than my younger sister."
"So I started to hide my talent, just to get a look from my mother. After I became the empress in name only, I ignored the government affairs, because I knew that no matter what I did, the throne would be taken away by my sister one day. It's not that I don't have the ability, I just don't want to fight for it. After all, conflicts within the court will only give surrounding countries an opportunity to take advantage of it. So I would rather be an incompetent empress than compete with my sister."
"Queen, you." Mei Xi looked at Gu Jinmi and said hesitantly.
"Also, do you know why I didn't expose you even though I knew that you four were on my sister's side? On the one hand, I didn't want to fight for it. It doesn't matter to me who the world belongs to. As long as the people are happy and healthy, that's enough. On the other hand, I kept you by my side because I wanted to use my sincerity to exchange for your sincerity. But I didn't expect that this was just my wishful thinking."
"Who did I offend? I asked you to go to such great lengths to poison my food every day. You even told my whereabouts to my little sister."
"You, you know." Mei Yu was so shocked that he didn't know what to say. In fact, didn't they know it in their hearts? It's just that sometimes they have no choice! "Since you know, why do you still want it."
"Do you still want to eat? I wanted to see how you would treat me. Unfortunately, things don't seem to be what I thought! Mei'er! Sometimes, just because I don't say anything doesn't mean I don't know. It's just that I know but I don't want to argue with you. After all, you four are the people I value most in my life. Unfortunately, you four have completely consumed my trust in you!"
"Don't worry! I won't do anything to you. You can continue to stay by my side and tell my sister everything that happens to me. But I don't want to see you again in the future. You guys should take care of yourselves!"
"Queen." Mei Yu called out to Gu Jinmi.
Gu Jinmi paused for a moment, but left without hesitation. After all, she was forcing them to make a choice!
Mei Yu looked at Gu Jinmi and saw that she didn't even stop and left. He returned to his Meiyuan in a state of despair. What on earth was going on? Why did she know everything? Why didn't she kick them out even though she knew everything
In fact, they just had no choice. The four of them had been orphans since childhood, helpless and helpless, but it was Gu Qingyin who saved them at the last moment, adopted them, and taught them music, chess, calligraphy and painting. As the saying goes, a drop of water should be repaid with a spring, let alone this life-saving grace. So when Gu Qingyin asked them to enter the palace to confuse the empress and supervise her, they agreed without hesitation. After all, Gu Qingyin can be said to be a ray of light in their lives!
But now... he was really confused. The Queen looked licentious, but in fact, she was a very smart person! If the Queen really got serious, even Gu Qingyin might not be her opponent! What should I do now? Forget it, let's wait for Lan Yi and Ju Hong to come back.
But for some reason, when the Queen said those words, his heart was really hurt! He also knew that the Queen treated them sincerely, but, but they were...
