"Madam, Sixth Sister is tired and can't come over." Gu Qingzhi came in with some soup.
Ms. Wei was leaning on the bed with a very ugly face. She took the decoction and was about to put it to her mouth, but she asked reluctantly, "Did she... say something?"
Gu Qingzhi was silent for a moment, "Sixth Sister said, let me rest assured that she will take care of my affairs."
There was a crisp sound, and the medicine bowl shattered and splashed all over the bed and the floor.
Gu Qingzhi took out her handkerchief and hurriedly stepped forward to wipe it with her wife, but she didn't want to be pushed away.
Madam Wei leaned on the brocade cushion with a pale face, her face looked like an eggplant beaten by frost. She didn't even say anything, but Liu Yatou refused. What should I do? What should I do
"Madam, don't blame Sixth Sister, she..."
"It's over, Gu Mansion... It's over." Wei murmured to herself, her eyes filled with deathly silence.
In the palace of Prince Lao Qi.
The imperial physician wrote the prescription and gave it to the servant.
"The princess's illnesses are all external injuries, so the medicine should be applied internally three times a day."
The old princess sat upright and said, "Come here, send Doctor Chen to you."
There were no outsiders in the room, Zhao Huayang lifted the quilt and knelt down in front of the old princess, with tears in his eyes, "Please mother, make the decision for me and Ling'er."
The old princess lowered her head and sneered, "I only want to ask you one thing, did you expose the matter in the Gu family to the outside world?"
"Mother!"
Zhao Huayang cried with half his face swollen: "Mother, it's too late to cover up this kind of thing. How could my daughter be so stupid as to stab her? What difference does this make to my daughter's face? Sister Ling is going to get married again. No matter how angry I am, , and always have to worry about her.”
"This Gu family is so bullying!"
The old princess stood up and said, "You have a good life, don't worry, your father and I are here to see who dares to bully you."
There were no outsiders in the room. Wu Yanling personally helped Zhao Huayang to the bed. After thinking for a moment, she said: "Mother, you and the Gu family should be separated."
Shi Potian's shocking words shocked Zhao Huayang, "My son, this and Li..."
"Mother, the Gu family has already been defeated. No matter how much we try to help, we can't help it up. Why don't mother take the opportunity to make plans for herself."
Zhao Huayang shed tears, feeling a trace of reluctance in his heart. One day a couple's kindness lasts a hundred days. Even though he and Gu Songtao were a half-way couple, they were still in love with each other.
A sharp look flashed in Wu Yanling's eyes, and she stepped forward and said, "Mother, we are in that mansion, suffering from internal and external troubles!"
"How do you say this?"
Wu Yanling took a deep breath depressedly, "Mother caught the uncle and the eldest mistress in adultery, which has already laid the foundation for disaster. If this matter makes the whole city a storm again, others will only think that it is the mother who did the evil, not to mention everyone in the Gu family. Mr. Gu regards his mother as a thorn in his side. "
Zhao Huayang understood. This time I jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't clean myself up. It was really hard to defend myself.
"Secondly, the two gentlemen of the Gu family have lost their official positions. How can they get the money to support their family? We still have three girls in the second house who are homeless. In the end, our mother has to pay for it. Mother, we can't be taken advantage of." "
Wu Yanling's words made Zhao Huayang's heart tremble.
That's right, the Gu family has already fought a famine, and this time there is frost on the snow. The little thing in his hand has already made people worry about it.
I can’t count on anyone anymore. Is it possible that I can’t even keep my money
"Reconciliation must be achieved."
Zhao Huayang lifted the quilt and stood up unsteadily, "Someone, please change my clothes. I want to beg my father in person."
Wu Yanling secretly breathed a sigh of relief, her mother finally understood.
"No!" Old King Qi's voice was low, but with unquestionable firmness.
It was like thunder exploded on a sunny day, Zhao Huayang turned pale with shock, and his face was pale and helpless.
Wu Yanling grinded her back teeth and made up her mind: "Grandpa, my mother and I have been bullied like this by the Gu family, why can't we just reconcile."
A glint flashed in the eyes of the old King Qi, and he tilted his head slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Most of the women in the Zhou Dynasty stayed with one person until the end of their marriage. Your mother married two people. How can I explain this to the world?"
Zhao Huayang was stunned and looked at the old prince in disbelief.
"Father, is my daughter's happiness more important, or the reputation of the palace? The Gu family is already in ruins. Can't father bear to see his daughter trapped in it and bullied to death?"
When the old King of Qi heard this, he was filled with shame and anger, "This marriage is the result of my begging the emperor to grant me permission. If you say peace, we have to divorce. How will the emperor explain it? Don't think about it anymore."
"Father!"
Zhao Huayang screamed, "It was you who asked me to marry you in the beginning."
After the man became ill, although her life was difficult, she never had the thought of remarrying. She just wanted to raise Sister Ling's son safely.
Unexpectedly, her father tried hard to persuade her, and also talked about the character of the second master of the Gu family and the character of the Gu family. Only then did she reluctantly agree to the marriage.
Her father was afraid that she would be concerned about her, so he simply asked Sister Ling to go with her and prepared a heavy dowry to bring to Suzhou Mansion.
She thought about how much her father had worried about her, and she kept it in her heart these past years. Every year on New Year's Eve, she prepared heavy gifts and sent them to the capital.
Why now... is she getting married
"Yes, I asked you to get married in the first place, but it's not time for reconciliation yet. You can live in peace with me and don't have to worry about other things."
There was a hint of anger in the words of the old King Qi, exuding the aura of a man born to be in power. Zhao Huayang fell into his chair and made no sound for a long time.
Everything changed overnight. The Gu family has changed, the man has changed, and even his biological father has become so strange
The old King Qi's gloomy eyes flashed with cold light.
"You are my daughter, and I will never harm you. Regarding the affairs of the Gu family, I will let them give you an explanation. As for Sister Ling's marriage... I am the granddaughter of the old King Qi. No one dares to make irresponsible remarks. ”
Zhao Huayang slowly lowered his head.
A trace of doubt flashed through Qingguan's eyes like a fleeting light.
"So the princess just went back to her parents' house to stay for a while, and she didn't ask the Gu family for a divorce at all."
Chen Ping said hurriedly: "Miss, that's right."
Shi Minwei asked in confusion: "What's going on at the Gu Mansion?"
"Nothing happened. The two elders of the Gu family were both ill in bed. One of the two men was drinking in the study and having fun with the maid. The other was studying during the day and simply stayed in the eldest mistress's room at night. They didn't shy away from it at all."
Qingguan suddenly turned around, "Who is in charge in the house?"
"The second young lady is currently taking care of the affairs of the first house."
"It shouldn't be, it really shouldn't be!" Shi Minwei said, stroking his beard.
Qingguan's eyes flashed, and he nodded in agreement.
The Gu Mansion's reputation is almost the same as that of the rat crossing the street who everyone yells at and beats. Why doesn't the princess propose a divorce
What is even more incredible is that the Gu family knew that they had offended the old Prince Qi, but not only did they not come to apologize, but they also did not mention a word about the princess returning to the palace, as if nothing happened.
Could it really be... that the broken jar was broken
A person like the Gu family who knows how to dig into the camp would never leave a big tree without relying on it and do the opposite.
Why is this
Qingguan subconsciously looked at Shi Minwei, but she never thought that he was also looking at her. Their eyes met, and they both narrowed their eyes at the same time.
"Miss, abnormality is a monster. There must be something going on here, and it's not a big deal."
Qingguan nodded with deep understanding.
Shi Minwei whispered: "Miss, why not ask King Shou how this marriage was accomplished?"
he
Qingguan's heart moved, eyes flashed, and she looked towards Chen Ping.
The autumn rain is still falling, and the chill is a bit overwhelming.
In the Wanhua Building.
Zhao Jingyan, with black hair and a silver crown, was leaning against the west window, holding a cup and her eyes were drunk by the moonlight.
Jiang Hongwen pushed open the door and entered with a rare smile on his lips.
"You won money and you smile so coquettishly?"
Jiang Hongwen frowned, how could the word "coquettish" be related to his rich and handsome Qi Ye? It can only be said that this person was in a bad mood.
"Have you eaten gunpowder?"
Zhao Jingyan turned around with a faint look in her eyes, "Are you planning to eat?"
Jiang Hongwen rolled his eyes at him, "The King Xian is next door, do you want to meet him?"
"Hmph!" Zhao Jingyan sneered.
The Gu Mansion collapsed and King Rui's dog teeth were knocked out, which also brought King Rui's status in his father's heart down a notch. Naturally, his good third brother was very happy.
"It's better to disappear from the melon fields and plums, so as not to be noticed by everyone."
His breath was sour, and he sounded like a man who had eaten something sour. Jiang Hongwen didn't understand why he was so awkward when he was doing well.
"Master!"
Ah Li pushed open the door and walked in, "Sir, Chen Ping is here. Miss Sixth would like to ask you to come over and ask me something."
"Snapped"
Zhao Jingyan's eyes were filled with light, she opened her folding fan, shook it a few times, and raised the corners of her mouth, "I have nothing to do. Please prepare the car quickly. Hongwen, come together, come together."
After getting in the car, Jiang Hongwen leaned closer and said sharply: "You...were you thinking about her just now?"
There was no discomfort on Zhao Jingyan's face.
"I feel like I haven't seen you for a long time, and I still miss you a little."
Pack!
Jiang Hongwen sighed: "Tinglin, I'm really worried about you two."
"What are you worried about?"
"You have her in your heart, but she may not have you. This is a worry."
"Hey, there are two more worries, let's talk about them."
"You two are already engaged, this is your second worry."
"Do you have three worries?"
Jiang Hongwen thought seriously and said, "Not yet."
Zhao Jingyan waved her fan slowly and said: "There is another worry that you haven't thought of?"
"What?"
"Can a woman like her tolerate eighteen concubines in the palace?"
Jiang Hongwen rolled his eyes at him helplessly, not wanting to say another word to this man. He was thinking too far ahead, even wanting to include eighteen concubines, humph!
The night is as low as a curtain.
In the flower hall, the lamps and candles are lightly illuminated, and the woman's black hair is spread out. She is wearing plain clothes and holds her hands quietly behind her back. Hearing the footsteps, he looked back with a smile on his lips.
Zhao Jingyan's black eyes suddenly became confused. I haven’t seen her for a long time. This smile is so beautiful.
"you… "
He raised his long arm and lit her with his fan, half angry and half smiling, "On such a rainy night, no wine, no food, just a beauty, it ruins the scenery." Gu Qingguan smiled with anger, looking past him, looking at the person behind him He looked and said, "Hongwen, you are here."
