"Madam, this is absolutely not allowed. It is inappropriate for you to face the emperor without makeup. If you offend Long Yan and the emperor blames you, you will be beheaded, madam~" Taohong knelt down and said.
"If I go to see the Holy Spirit without makeup, how will the emperor know that my heart is pierced with knives, and how will he feel pity in his heart? Taohong, please get up. I have made up my mind on this matter. Don't say more." Mrs. Gu finished. , and walked towards the outside of the house.
Mrs. Gu hurriedly arrived at the door of the mansion, got on the carriage, and headed towards the palace. Mu Chenfeng frowned at this scene, and her heart sank when she thought of the crown uniform that Mrs. Gu was wearing just now.
"Where is my father? Why haven't he come back yet?" Mu Chenfeng was anxious and walked towards the door of the mansion.
As soon as he left the house, he saw two brown horses parked in front of the door. Mu Nanfeng looked at Mu Chenfeng calmly and asked, "What happened?"
"Father, mother just went to the palace in her royal robes. She may have something to do with Yun Xiao." Mu Chenfeng looked in the direction of the palace and said.
"It really doesn't stop all day long." After listening to Mu Chenfeng's words, Mu Nanfeng swung his whip on the ground, causing dust to fly, and strode into the yard.
Mu Chenfeng followed Mu Nanfeng and said, "Father, won't you enter the palace?"
"I'm going to change into court clothes." Mu Nanfeng's eyebrows were raised and his tone was very angry.
… …..
"Queen Mother, Mrs. Gu asks to see you." Pearl opened the bead curtain, walked in lightly, and saluted.
Hearing Pearl's voice, the Queen Mother, who was dozing, raised her eyes slightly, rubbed her aching eyebrows, and said, "Why is it so urgent this early in the morning?"
Cui Xin heard the dissatisfaction in the Queen Mother's tone and hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, please go and ask."
"Go ahead. If nothing happens, let her go back first. The Ai family has a headache today."
Cui Xin opened the curtain and went to the outer hall. She saw Mrs. Gu wearing a gorgeous crown standing in the center of the hall. The crown on her head was gorgeous and dazzling. This look made Cui Xin flash a deep thought in her eyes.
"This slave is here to see Madam Gu. I wonder what Mrs. Gu is asking for to see the Queen Mother today? It's best to let this slave go in and pass the news." Cui Xin bowed her knees and bowed and asked.
Seeing Cuixin walking out of the inner hall, Mrs. Gu stepped forward to greet her. After hearing her words, Liu frowned slightly and asked, "Miss Cuixin, the Queen Mother refuses to see me?"
"That's not the case. The Queen Mother is disobeying her body today, so if Mrs. Gu has nothing important to do, it's better not to disturb the Queen Mother." Cuixin smiled and said.
After hearing Cui Xin's words, Mrs. Gu breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. It seemed that she could still see people. She hurriedly took Cui Xin's hand, stuffed a hundred taels of silver notes into Cui Xin's hand, and said: " I came here this time because I have something important to see the Queen Mother, it’s very important.”
"Please wait a moment, Mrs. Gu. I will go and report to the Queen Mother right now. But as for whether the Queen Mother is seen or not, I can't make the decision." Cui Xin took her hand out of Mrs. Gu's hand, without taking the banknote, and said with a smile. said.
Watching Cui Xin leave the hall, Mrs. Gu held the handkerchief in her hand, and her eyes showed uneasiness. Why did the Queen Mother suddenly become disobedient? She must have just not wanted to see her.
"The Queen Mother, Mrs. Gu came to see you wearing a royal robe, and her face was very pale." Cui Xin walked in and looked at the Queen Mother and said.
"Oh? This Gu Xuerou is here in a royal uniform. What on earth is going on? It's so grand. Go and invite her in." The Queen Mother waved her hand and said.
"Yes." Cuixin nodded and said.
After waiting for half a stick of incense in this torment, Cui Xin opened the curtain and walked out, and there was a clanking sound behind her.
"Mrs. Gu, the Queen Mother please come in." Cui Xin said with a bow.
After hearing Cui Xin's words, Mrs. Gu really felt relieved. She raised her head and walked quickly into the inner hall. Looking at the Queen Mother on the imperial concubine's bed, she knelt down and said, "I see the Queen Mother. .”
"Get up, why are you dressed like this so early in the morning?" the Queen Mother asked in a hoarse voice.
Upon hearing the Queen Mother's question, Mrs. Gu burst into tears and said, "I beg the Queen Mother to make the decision for me."
"What's the matter?" It was the first time the Queen Mother saw Mrs. Gu crying like this, and her voice softened as she asked.
"Empress, you have to make the decision for me and Yun Xiao. Yun Xiao has been poisoned and there are only four days left." Mrs. Gu said with tears streaming down her face.
The Queen Mother frowned and her face turned pale. She stood up in shock and asked, "What did you say? What's wrong with Yun Xiao?"
"Your Majesty, I really have no choice. The imperial doctor said that there are only four days left. Unless I can get the antidote from Yaogu, I will die." Mrs. Gu was really sad, her eyes were red.
Mu Nanfeng is the nephew of the Queen Mother. Now that something like this happened to Mu Yunxiao, she was of course shocked and distressed. She hurriedly said: "The Ai family will let everyone from the Tai Hospital go there now. There will be a solution." .”
"Your Majesty, the general has sent people to the Medicine Valley. Now I just want to catch the person who poisoned Yun Xiao. I think there must be an antidote for them." Mrs. Gu said.
The Queen Mother sat on the chair. After hearing Mrs. Gu's words, she nodded and said, "You are right. The Ai family will send people to search the whole city now."
"Thank you, Madam. In fact, I already know who it is." Mrs. Gu wiped away her tears and looked at the Queen Mother and said.
The Queen Mother looked at Mrs. Gu, frowned and asked, "Who is it?"
… .
"Jiu Wei, we haven't had a good conversation since you came to the capital. Let's sit down and have a good meal today, okay?" Gu Qingchen looked at Ning Jiu Wei and said with gentle eyes.
Ning Jiu nodded slightly and said, "Okay."
"Okay, then I'll order food first. What do you like to eat?" Gu Qingchen's glazed eyes suddenly brightened and he asked with a smile.
"Everything is fine." Ning Jiuwei said.
Gu Qingchen watched Ning Jiuwei return to the room, his eyes slightly focused. Maybe from today on, he would never have the chance to get as close to Ning Jiuwei as he did now.
When Ning Jiuwei came down from upstairs, she saw Gu Qingchen looking out the window, his eyes a little dull. She sat down and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"Well, it's nothing. By the way, look, these are the dishes I ordered. Because I don't know what you like to eat, I ordered some of everything." Gu Qingchen looked away, looked at Ning Jiu and smiled.
"You came to me today for a favor?" Ning Jiuwei was not in a hurry to eat. She reached for the teapot and filled both parties with tea.
When Gu Qingchen heard Ning Jiuwei's words, he shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I just want to treat you to a meal."
After saying these words, Gu Qingchen felt that the atmosphere seemed a bit awkward and asked, "Where is Qi Lexuan?"
"She said she had something to do and wouldn't come down to eat." Ning Jiuwei took a sip of tea and said.
"Jiu Wei." Gu Qingchen looked at Ning Jiu Wei and shouted with burning eyes.
"What's wrong?" Ning Jiuwei looked at Gu Qingchen and asked with a frown.
Gu Qingchen's amber eyes were dazzling at this time. He looked at Ning Jiuwei and said with a serious expression: "Jiuwei, I like you."
