In the palace, there are two nobles from the Wei Dynasty, including Gu Su, who is pregnant, and Gu Liman, the biological mother of the twelfth prince.
Originally, they were different concubines, but Gu Su was the first to get pregnant but failed to give birth to Dong Lai. The queen was very worried at that time, and at the critical moment Gu Liman gave birth to the twelfth prince. Therefore, the two sisters, who had very different statuses at home, could Ru Ming Ping Qiping left.
For this reason, Gu Su and Gu Liman had always been at odds with each other, and with Gu Shao in the middle to stir up trouble, the three sisters were obviously related by blood, but there was not a single month of peace in the past two years.
Gu Zhen also told her mother-in-law's family: "When we arranged for them to live together, we thought they would be our own people and have someone to take care of them. Ruming looked at it and seemed to beg for grudges. Please let them separate. Well, just like the imperial concubine of the Ming Dynasty who favored the imperial concubine, and the concubines and concubines of the Shu Dynasty all turned towards her, the imperial concubine of the Xian Dynasty had a vague and friendly relationship with the imperial concubine. Even if the concubines of Didong did not aspire to cling to the Xuanqing Palace, But he didn't dare to offend Xiao Yun. The three of them were in the same place, and he had to keep an eye on them. If they were separated in three places, he was really afraid of seeing them."
Although Gu Su and the three sisters had a lot of bad blood and couldn't get along, they were not stupid.
There is no place in the palace that is easy to get along with. Even if the queen is a sister, she can't stop the emperor from favoring the concubine. Moreover, as the person in charge, how can he have an oil-saving lamp
If the queen doesn't take good care of her after separation, she won't even know how she died!
So after hearing this, I dared to show my affectionate sisterly attitude in front of the queen and said, "How can we really treat our sisters as enemies when they are making trouble behind closed doors?" Sister, don't think too much, just let them live together. "
In fact, that was not what the Queen meant. The Queen did not want her three young and beautiful sisters to unite.
That's not a good thing for her. Not to mention that Gu Liman is the biological mother of the twelfth prince. The queen relies on her family to ascend to the throne. The family can support her and other daughters.
In particular, the queen realized that things were not going well since her marriage. Chunjia repeatedly said that she was helpless and could not control the Sixth Palace. The queen was aggrieved and it was hard not to worry, or the Gu family would think the same way.
In that case, it would be good for the three of them, Gu Liman, to fight together.
It not only showed that they were ignorant of the general situation and were less suitable for the lower position than themselves, but also allowed them to monitor each other and the enemy, so as not to have the idea of taking her sister's place instead.
Yun Fenghuang didn't seem to pay much attention to the excitement. Gu Zhen asked people to suppress the news and not allow it to be spread. The three sisters could tear it apart as they wanted... as long as it didn't cause a big fuss.
So at first, he didn't take the palace servant's report seriously, so he asked calmly: "A fight started? What happened?"
Of these three sisters, Gu Shao and Gu Liman initially gave way to Gu Su, who had the best background.
But after Gu Su had a miscarriage and Gu Liman gave birth to Prince Dong, even if Gu Liman was not very respectful at first, he had no intention of looking down on his two cousins because of his achievements in giving birth to children. Gu Su, out of jealousy and regret for his own child, wrongly Her attitude inevitably turned bad. Moreover, the reason why Gu Su had a tire slip in the first place had something to do with Gu Liman, at least it had passed through Gu Liman's leg. Gu Shao was also worried that Tiandong would not be in chaos, so he provoked people here and there. Gradually, Gu Liman couldn't bear it anymore and started to hit him hard... This was the first time that he moved his legs.
"Your Majesty, the fight that time was not the same as before, maybe it was caused by some quarrel." The palace man looked solemn and reported in a deep voice, "However, the big Gu nobleman lost Shitong and hurt the little Gu nobleman's face. It seems very bad." It hurts my eyes.”
Because both sisters are nobles, they cannot be distinguished. The older Gu Su is called Da Gu, and the younger Gu Liman is called Xiao Gu.
"..." The queen's originally casual posture froze for a moment, and after a while, she said in a hoarse voice, "How many times have they quarreled before, but nothing like that has ever happened... Did they really lose their legs?!"
At that time, she was already a little suspicious of Queen Mother Yuan.
After all, it was such a coincidence. As she said, the three sisters had pinched each other so many times without losing their legs. Why did they lose their legs not long after Empress Dowager Yuan came to find her about the matter of denying Qingdie
I want to know that Gu Su actually had a vague relationship with Empress Dowager Yuan when he was sliding.
Because the Queen had no evidence, and in Chunjia's mind, a prince who was born as a concubine could not be compared with the Queen Mother Yuan, so she had no intention of pursuing it, so she just let it go.
If something happened to the three sisters, how could the queen not wonder if the Empress Dowager Yuan was so angry that the Emperor wanted to calm things down and take Gu Su and Gu Liman to vent her anger on Concubine An
The palace man lowered his head and whispered: "Ruming is making a fuss over there, and they are all asking the queen to come over and make the decision... As for the specifics, the eldest noble Gu is already frightened, and the younger noble Gu is crying so hard that he can't speak intermittently. Come on."
"What about Gu Shao?!" the Queen asked in a cold voice, "She usually stirs up dissensions. That matter will definitely involve Gang Jie. What can she say?"
"Gu Cairen said she was not in the house at the time, so she didn't know anything." After all, Gu Shao entered the palace with Gu Su and Gu Liman. After the latter two were promoted to the throne due to pregnancy, the queen cried to her several times. I felt annoyed, so I was promoted to a talented person.
Anyway, just like Yun Fenghuang's view when he entered the palace, the promotion of a low-level concubine to a high position is nothing more than a matter of words and has no meaning.
At this moment, the queen sneered: "She doesn't know?! I always give Gu Su and Gu Liman some things, does she know it all! Doesn't she know that those two sisters made such a big fuss? ?! Then what does she know!?”
After taking a breath, the queen said, "That matter must not be spread outside. I tell them to shut up and wait until dark before sending a trusted imperial doctor to treat Gu Liman. When the time comes, ask Gu Shao to come over and tell me the whole story." ! If you can’t tell me whether to ask for permission, then I have no use seeing her anymore!”
After all, except for the time when Gu Su and Gu Liman were pregnant, the queen had a distinguished status, so how could Keke suddenly go visit several sisters who were concubines in person? When she left, I was afraid that all the Sixth Palace would pay attention to her.
"No." The Queen said how to deal with it. After thinking about it for a while, she felt uneasy and said in a low voice, "Isn't it possible that the old wretch did it? Isn't it because I didn't wait for me to hit you? That way. "
She raised her head and looked at the palace man, "I'll go one more time and let those three bastards make a wrong confession and say whether Liman was injured or not. The two sisters were playing around and were not careful... When I asked them to separate before, they didn't Can you say that although they are always noisy, after all, my sisters have broken their bones and connected their tendons, and they can't be affectionate again? In this case, it's time to prove to the family that their words are sincere! If Guo calls The Queen Mother has taken advantage of the situation, and it will be difficult for me when the time comes, but they are very nice?!"
Even so, the Queen was not worried. After all, Queen Mother Yuan was not a good person.
She walked back and forth in the palace twice, and then ordered a palace servant to send a message to the three sisters: "Xuan and the others should pay attention to the people around them. Even the servants who are not accompanying people to the palace must not let down their guard!" Is there anything good to ask for, but don’t ask for being entangled and having trouble getting out! "
At that time, she regretted that she had always ignored the attention of those three sisters. If they were too stupid and didn't even know they were cheated, she didn't know whether they could successfully deal with the aftermath.
"Bidong..." The queen suddenly thought of what Chunjia had said before, asking her to think about her own grievances and anger when something happened, instead of learning from him and thinking about what to do instead of why or why.
She bit her lip and thought quickly, "What would Bidong want me to do at that time?"
While the Queen was trying to figure out Chun Jia's thoughts, Yun Fenghuang was holding a warm drink and asked Chen Jing casually: "My face is scratched, and my eyes may not be saved? What did I say to Gu Su to make her wrong?" Is your sister also that stubborn?"
"Your Majesty, my slaves really don't talk much." Chen Jing bowed and said cautiously, "Does this imply that Dong Da is a noble man? There are so many people in the palace, especially after the Queen is happy, Dong Da will basically not go anywhere else. Went. Counting how many years it has been since Da Gu Gugui entered the palace, she was already very beautiful, so why did she waste her time in seeking old age? Even with the protection of the empress, she lived a successful confinement period in the palace. There is no guarantee that Bidong has no children, and Bidong cannot even think of her! The most important thing is that the queen has a legitimate son from Ping and Xiao Gugui, and she does not expect her to help with the birth of children. Now, who can help me introduce her to Bidong?"
"In this way, if Lord Gu wants to remind Bidong, you can do it yourself!"
"Did the person who arranged for me to go there remind Gu Gugui of Dongda and let her make a fuss about her missing emperor's heir, so as to arouse Dongbang's pity... Who knew she could be so cruel?"
After all, Gu Su's miscarriage was very exciting to the Queen.
Especially later, Ping Xianyi became pregnant, but there was no news about the three Gu sisters. The queen felt quite haggard during that time.
Although Ping Xianyi cooperated very cooperatively after giving birth to Prince Dongshi and handed the child over to the queen, one could tell from just looking at Chunjia that the bloodline was not very important.
The Gu family didn't want to work hard at all and wanted to share the glory and status of Qingci Palace with the Heng family.
It is not difficult to irritate the queen by bringing up the old things again.
... It turns out that Gu Su didn't know what he was thinking, and he made the matter worse.
Hearing this, Yun Fenghuang couldn't help but twitch his lips: "Perhaps Xiao Gu, noble lady, was not as good as her in status and imperial favor in the past, but because of the Twelve Prince, not only is she on an equal footing with her now, but her future is even brighter. She's here, so I can't stand it."
Chen Jing went and said, "Is that what your Majesty said?"
"But then Gu Su is too reckless. No matter how much she says, her sister cannot be the biological mother of the twelfth prince. Even if she was treated better than Gu Liman at home and in front of the queen before, she will not be the biological mother of the twelfth prince now. , it is not certain whether the Queen will continue to favor her." Yun Fenghuang sighed, "That is a miserable person! When she was born as a prince from the east, what happened to Gu Liman? The tenth prince and the twelve princes What happened to the prince? One mistake happened, and the child was gone, and so was his future. I really hope that Bao Qinliman will live in the future, and even if Ruming is a little impulsive, there is no need to be harsh."
Let Chen Jing say, "Since I have reminded her once, I might as well remind her again. If the queen is not willing to let her go easily, she can come to me for help! Although I am a bit impatient, but if it is clear that there is If you are pregnant, your heir will be virtuous, and you won’t be stingy in giving her a hand!”
Chen Jing understood: "Slave, please send someone to help Gu Gu, Dong Da, but I hope that Gu Gu will not live up to your empress's nurturing heart."
Jie Donglai was pretty much what Yun Fenghuang thought. As the cousin who had the closest blood relationship with Gu Zhen and got along with him a lot, Gu Su's status in front of Gu Zhen and in the Gu family was higher than that of Gu Shao and Gu Liman.
But that was not the case before.
Gu Liman's mother is noble because of her son. Even if she is as noble as Gu Su, her weight is not comparable to Gu Su's.
After all, although the twelfth prince is very young now and doesn't remember much, and he doesn't know whether Gu Liman is his biological mother, he will eventually grow up.
When the time comes, do you know that your birth mother suffered so much and that the perpetrator was treated lightly, so why don't you have a grudge against Gu Zhen
Maybe the prince is not the kind of reasonable person who can understand the queen's misunderstanding of Gu Su's feelings and misunderstanding of Gu Liman's alienation... There is a high probability that Queen Bu Nao will not bet on such illusory odds.
The Lord asked Gu Zhen to have Gu Su's feelings be deeper than those of Gu Shao and Gu Liman, and not to the extent that Bu Qin would fully protect her.
Therefore, the Queen used both soft and hard tactics to get them to make good confessions in order to suppress the matter.
Then she promised that Gu Liman would look for an opportunity to make her a concubine to appease her, but Gu Su... she didn't show up, and she didn't even let the maid who sent the message say one more word to her.
"My lord, I am afraid that I will give you a lighter sentence." The palace servant arranged by Chen Jing took advantage of the situation and told Gu Su privately, "I will even make you... let you disappear silently, so that things can be settled. Calm down quickly!”
Gu Su didn't believe it at first. After all, she had been spoiled by her family since she was a child because of her biological father. She felt that no matter how angry Gu Zhen was, he wouldn't seek her own life.
How would the queen explain to her biological mother
Besides, if they are cousins, will Gu Zhen tolerate it
"Are you noble enough to say such innocent words now?" The palace man sighed, "If the Queen really treats you as a sister, are you a noble man even if you are Ming Dynasty? In terms of origin, you are like Concubine Shu, Concubine De of Ming Dynasty. Is there anything wrong? Please tell me that the Empress cannot promote others, so how did the Ping family achieve the position of leader? According to my maid, the Empress has been guarding against you from the beginning! After all, you are not the grandson of the old man. Daughter! She is younger than the Empress and more beautiful than the Empress. Back then... if the little prince is gone, do you think that if you give birth to the little prince, you are not more qualified than the empress to take that position? "
"Since the Queen doesn't treat you as a sister, how can Ruming let you go? Don't forget that the Twelve Princes will grow up. He is not the Queen's biological child, so why don't the Queen coax you?"
The voice lowered, "It is said that the situation over there with Mr. Gu is not very good. Tell me, if Mr. Gu was gone that time..."
Gu Su's expression changed when he heard that, and he finally realized: The twelfth prince is not the Queen's biological son. Although the Queen did not go to the mother to keep the child when Gu Liman gave birth, that does not mean that the Queen wants Mrs. Gu Liman. Ping Ping went east and became the second Queen Mother Qu.
Even because Gu Zhen had high hopes for the twelfth prince, Ke Ke didn't want to have any bad blood with the adopted son, so that's what Gu Liman did.
After all, her actions gave the queen an excellent reason.
Sacrificing a cousin whom he didn't value so much in exchange for the death of Mr. Gu, even if the twelfth prince was not the Queen's biological son, wouldn't he be willing to treat the Queen wholeheartedly in the future
If it were Gu Su, she would do the same thing!
In addition, the queen did promote Ping Xianyi as concubine, but always kept her three younger sisters in the concubine position... Gu Su's breathing suddenly became rapid!
"Your Excellency, we must not just wait for death." Gu Su completely listened to what the palace man said, "We have to think of a way and act quickly. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be too late." !”
Gu Su wanted to nod, but said at a loss: "But the reason why he was able to enter the palace was because of his family and the queen sister. Sister Ruming wanted to kill him, but the news couldn't reach the family, so what can he do?"
"Have you forgotten that the Queen Mother alone has the final say in the palace?" The palace man seduced calmly, "Whether it is a loving mother, the Queen Mother, or a noble concubine, the Queen Mother does not dare to neglect the decision. Son. And their relationship with the Queen is not very good. Why don’t you try to ask those two for help? Maybe they can solve your crisis on a whim? "
"Is it possible that he is not familiar with those two people at all?" Gu Suwei asked, "Even if they are willing to help, how can the news get out now that the Queen's sister's people are watching from the outside?"
The palace man said: "Your Majesty, you do extraordinary things in extraordinary times. It depends on whether you dare to take risks!"
... Less than half an hour later, the news that the Cangtao Palace where the three Gu sisters lived was leaked quickly spread throughout the Sixth Palace!
