692, house arrest 4
It wasn't until evening that Mrs. Zhao woke up faintly, and burst into tears when she saw the strange environment.
"My beautiful, lovely, gentle and generous daughter, where is this place? Oh, yes, this is the palace! When can we go out? What about my Qianyi? Did Qianyi drink milk at night? What about the master, the master said , If he doesn’t see me at night, he won’t be able to sleep.”
"..." Gu Qianxue was ashamed, Gu Shangshu secretly said such love words, this old shameless person.
But then, what made her even more troubled was how to comfort Mrs. Zhao.
She walked to the bed, embraced Zhao Shi, and patted her on the head like she would a child, "Don't cry, just think we're out to play, he won't like you if you get tired of being with Dad every day, distance is the only thing you can do." Shengmei, if you leave him for a few days, he will love you even more. As for the younger brother, he will take care of him with a nanny, so don't worry."
"Really?" Mrs. Zhao trusts Gu Qianxue very much. Although she misses her son very much, in order to make her husband love her more, a short separation is acceptable.
"Really." Gu Qianxue said.
Convinced, Mrs. Zhao reached out and rubbed her flat belly, "My beautiful, lovely, gentle and generous daughter is both hungry and thirsty for my mother."
Gu Qianxue nodded, "Stay still on the bed, I'll ask."
Then I went to the door and knocked, "The guards outside have worked hard, but my mother is hungry, can you bring me some food and drink?"
Outside, no one answered.
Gu Qianxue waited for a while, and then said, "Are you the guards who went to Gu's mansion before? The emperor's oral order is to welcome us into the palace, not to imprison or torture us. Please ask some adults if something happens in the middle Unnecessary misunderstanding, I'm afraid it will hurt you in the end."
Gu Qianxue's words were very euphemistic, but people outside the door could understand them - if the emperor really didn't intend to condemn them, they might be questioned.
After a while, someone said respectfully, "Thank you Princess Qianxue for your guidance, please wait a moment, the villain will come back as soon as he goes."
"My lord, please trouble me." Gu Qianxue said.
Mrs. Zhao on the bed became happy, "Qianxue, will they bring some delicious food later?"
"... Yes, don't worry." In fact, Gu Qianxue knew that the emperor had arrested them and placed them under house arrest, and the soldiers also knew, so they didn't even bring them any water.
While comforting Mrs. Zhao, she prayed for a miracle.
It doesn't matter what she does, but she doesn't want Mrs. Zhao to suffer.
In this way, an hour passed.
Mrs. Zhao was very thirsty, and cried again.
Gu Qianxue knew that the emperor might not agree to send him food.
But at this moment, there were guards' greetings from outside the door, and a quarrel ensued. Because of the distance, Gu Qianxue couldn't listen to the conversation, but she could hear a woman's voice.
Finally, the voice gradually became smaller, and a solution should have been found.
After a while, the door opened.
Although it was opened, it was not fully opened. There was still an iron chain hanging outside the door, and there was only a foot-long gap in the door.
Gu Qianxue let go of Mrs. Zhao, walked over quickly, and immediately between the door, revealed a face of a young woman with a heroic spirit.
It turned out to be her!
An hour ago, Gu Qianxue had imagined that the first person to rescue her or visit her would be Concubine Qin, Princess Yong'an, King Li, or Su Lingxiao's spies, but she never thought about it. It's Zhang Jieyu.
Zhang Jieyu said kindly, "The emperor should still be angry, the princess don't care, the guards don't allow you to eat, it's not ill-treating you, it's another kind of protection."
As he said, he took a food box from the maid, put it on the ground, and brought out a bowl of soup, "Please don't dislike the princess, but this Lord Guan said that I must test the poison in the original bowl before I can give it to you." you."
Gu Qianxue followed Zhang Jieyu's line of sight and saw that it was the military officer who went to Gu Shangshu's mansion to arrest them. His original surname was Guan.
The military officer clasped his fists together, and Qian Renxue also nodded in greeting.
Afterwards, Zhang Jieyu took a moderate sip, swallowed it, and turned her head to look at Guard Guan.
Guard Guan hurriedly said, "It's alright, ma'am."
Zhang Jieyu nodded and handed the soup to Gu Qianxue.
Afterwards, he tasted all the meals, including green tea.
Gu Qianxue brought the dishes to the table one by one, and Mrs. Zhao screamed and rushed over to eat.
Zhang Jieyu looked towards the door with a smile, and said, "Madam Gu is so beautiful. People say that there are three thousand flowers in the harem, but the sum of these three thousand flowers is not as beautiful as Madam Gu alone."
Thinking of the emperor's astonishing eyes and reluctant expression, Gu Qianxue couldn't be happy at all. She secretly wondered whether it was necessary to fatten up Mrs. Zhao. Sometimes a woman's beautiful appearance is not a good thing.
"Is there any warning from your empress?" Gu Qianxue asked.
Zhang Jieyu withdrew her amazed gaze, "The princess is very smart, I didn't warn you, I just told the princess that I, Zhang Tingxu, am a grateful person, and I will try my best to save you, don't worry."
Gu Qianxue froze, then nodded, "Thank you."
Zhang Jieyu also nodded, "I'm relieved to see that my wife is eating well. Today is not a good time for small talk. When the princess is safe, we will catch up on the old days."
Gu Qianxue hurriedly said, "I appreciate your kindness, but please listen to my advice, don't come here again, and temporarily distance yourself from me. Although I am eager for help, I don't want to see my friend get hurt."
After all, the harem is complicated, and the mastermind behind the scenes has not yet revealed his identity. Zhang Jieyu's move is tantamount to a wolf entering the tiger's mouth.
Zhang Jieyu's eyes flickered, and she sighed softly, "You are the first one who really worried about my safety after I entered the palace, but princess, don't worry, I know what to do." After finishing speaking, she turned around leave.
Gu Qianxue stared blankly at Zhang Jieyu's back, thinking of all the things that happened in the past, it seemed like a lifetime away.
Zhang Jieyu left, the door was closed again, followed by the sound of chains and iron locks.
Mrs. Zhao was full in one sitting, and there were not many dishes on the table. "My beautiful, lovely, gentle and generous daughter, what are you doing? Aren't you hungry or thirsty? Come and eat."
Qianxue took a deep breath and changed her expression, smiling as if she was not under house arrest but as a guest, "Okay, I'm coming right now."
"Qianxue, this is delicious, and that is also delicious, you eat this first." Zhao began to direct.
Mrs. Zhao has lost weight, but she eats a lot. Although there are only leftovers left on the table, Qianxue still pretends to eat deliciously, and bury her worries deep in her heart.
Fortunately, this incident did not affect Mrs. Zhao too much, and she slept soundly at night.
Just when Gu Qianxue was worried about the next day's meal, she found out early the next morning that Xiangju and Xiangqi came with many palace people and food and clothing expenses.
Qianxue was puzzled, Xiangju smiled and said respectfully, "The emperor is worried about the discomfort of the wife and the princess, so he specially ordered the servants to take care of her. The princess should hurry up and have breakfast. The emperor will summon the princess today."
