Gu Hongjian did not leave immediately, but stayed in the main hall for a while, and it was precisely because of this short time that she was surprised to find that Zhao Yunyuan had not responded despite the panic of the whole dynasty.
His whole person seemed to have suffered a huge blow, and he stood there in a daze, motionless.
Gu Hongjian floated to his side with some doubts, but found that he blinked slightly, and his eyes turned red.
Gu Hongjian: "..."
She never imagined that her own death would make this upright guy, Master Zhao, almost cry.
However, although Zhao Yunyuan is a good person, judging from his impeachment at every turn, he is indeed quite dissatisfied with himself.
Although they left the court, the two still communicated a bit. Of course, most of them were when Gu Hongjian had done something bad, was impeached by Zhao Yunyuan, and then was safe.
Gu Hongjian likes to go to Zhao Yunyuan at this time, and says with a smile, "Mr. Zhao has worked hard", as if deliberately trying to stimulate him.
However, Zhao Yunyuan was never moved, only saying "Master Gu is harder" and ignored her.
Later, Gu Hongjian lived in Zhaohong Hall, and almost everyone knew about the affair with Lin Size, but at that time Gu Hongjian and Lin Size didn't care much either. I didn't expect that Zhao Yunyuan, an overly upright guy, would say it publicly. This incident was accused of having a bad influence. In the future history records, I am afraid that Lin Size will be accused of playing with his officials.
This was a bit heavy, but Lin Size ignored it and passed it on. Gu Hongjian just smiled and didn't speak.
After going to court, Gu Hongjian went to bother Zhao Yunyuan as usual, but Zhao Yunyuan didn't answer her "Master Gu has worked hard" this time, but really said with a distressed expression: "Although you are a woman, you have a talent. Why? But he ended up being that kind of person.”
Gu Hongjian was stunned, and after a while, he said leisurely: "Everyone has their own aspirations. You see the emperor has taken a fancy to me and treated me so well. I have been promoted all the way and made a fortune. Maybe in the future, I can enter the harem and become a concubine. What. Why should I refuse?"
"You! You... Forget it!" Zhao Yunyuan pursed his lips, his face flushed with anger, and walked away.
After that, Zhao Yunyuan didn't say anything to Gu Hongjian, probably because he knew that Lin Size would definitely protect Gu Hongjian, so the number of impeachment against her gradually decreased. She glanced at her, turned around and left without saying a word, which made Gu Hongjian feel a little aggrieved.
However, in the five years of Pyeongchang, the relationship between the two unexpectedly eased a little.
That day was September 18th, and Lin Size went to Zuofu as usual.
Gu Hongjian has always been clear about the fact that he still worships Zuo Ningyan every year. After all, Lin Size did not hide it at all.
And what can Gu Hongjian say, he worships the white moonlight in his heart, she can only accept it.
But it's hard for Gu Hongjian to not mind at all, not to mention that she still has a secret in her heart.
So she could only go out of the palace, and then go to Zuixianlou to drink.
But that day was considered bad luck for her, and she met Zhao Yunyuan.
At that time, Gu Hongjian was already drunk, still holding a bottle of wine in his hand, and left the Zuixianlou in a daze, but bumped into someone head-on.
That person is Zhao Yunyuan.
Probably taking advantage of the rest of the day to run errands, Zhao Yunyuan was wearing a light-colored ordinary long gown, and he didn't look as serious as usual, but like an ordinary scholar.
After realizing that the person who bumped into him was Gu Hongjian, Zhao Yunyuan was taken aback and said, "Gu Shilang?"
Gu Hongjian blinked and said, "Huh."
When she opened her mouth, the smell of alcohol came to her face, Zhao Yunyuan couldn't help frowning, and said, "Gu Shilang, why did you come here to drink, and still drink like this?"
Gu Hongjian twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "Have fun! You don't have to go to court today."
Zhao Yunyuan said angrily: "As an official of the imperial court, Gu Shilang's behavior in private is too prudent."
Gu Hong saw that she was in a bad mood and didn't bother to talk to him. She snorted and pushed him away to leave. Zhao Yunyuan glanced at her wobbly back. Seeing that she was indeed alone, she still let the person beside her go. The servant stepped forward to ask Gu Hongjian where he was going.
Gu Hongjian hiccupped and said, "Zhaohong Hall."
Although he already knew that Gu Hongjian actually lived in the harem, but after hearing Gu Hongjian say it so directly, Zhao Yunyuan still had a black face, with a "really immoral" expression, stepped forward and reprimanded: "You are like this. Back to the harem? What should others say when they see it!"
Gu Hongjian said impatiently, "I can do what I like, and others can say what they like! Others can't stop hitting my legs, and I can't stop other people's mouths, just! This! This!"
Zhao Yun's face turned pale: "..."
After a while, he said: "It's better for you to be the emperor's concubine instead of this. Isn't that what you want? The emperor favors you now. If you talk about it, the emperor may agree. I'm also willing to help. With your help, you wrote a book to the emperor, saying that you are not good, it is better to enter the harem directly."
Gu Hongjian sneered: "Do you worry about it? I've been with Lin Size for more than ten years, and it's not a matter of words to want to enter the harem?!"
Zhao Yunyuan was shocked.
Gu Hong saw that she was sluggish for a while after she finished speaking, and then said a little annoyed: "I won't tell you! I'm going back, don't stand here blocking the way!"
Zhao Yunyuan said: "You just called the emperor's name directly... and, more than ten years?!"
Gu Hong saw that the wine was rushing to her brain for a while, and she said: "Master Zhao, why are you so annoying!? I just called the emperor's name taboo, and I also called Miss Talin, do you want to be shocked again? Yes, I I've known the emperor for almost 20 years! Have you heard of the two children? Have you heard of childhood sweethearts?!"
Zhao Yunyuan was even more shocked and said, "But you clearly said last time..."
"I lied to you!" Gu Hong said.
"But Gu Shilang, you are only twenty-five now..."
"The year I first met the emperor, I was only six years old." Gu Hongjian received it.
Zhao Yunyuan widened his eyes and said nothing.
But he didn't ask any more.
Zhao Yunyuan took Gu Hongjian and asked her to wait obediently, and sent a servant to invite the driver to send Gu Hongjian back.
After that, Gu Hongjian didn't know how much Zhao Yunyuan knew or how much he thought about it. Anyway, his attitude towards himself has subtly changed a little bit, at least he didn't despise her so much, and he recovered a little The relationship is not far or near, and the concepts are different but the status of colleagues respecting each other.
After that, Gu Hongjian fell out of favor, Zhao Yunyuan seemed very puzzled, and asked Gu Hongjian what happened several times with his eyes, but Gu Hongjian didn't say anything, and he didn't really ask.
Later, Lin Size ordered Gu Hongjian to go to Huzhou, and Zhao Yunyuan stopped Gu Hongjian to ask her what was wrong after the court. Gu Hongjian calmly said that there was nothing perfunctory, but Zhao Yunyuan still held back and just took pictures like a man. He patted Gu Hongjian's shoulder and said, "Be sure to take care of yourself, and triumph in peace."
This shoulder slap was the only physical contact between the two, but it was also thanks to this that Gu Hongjian felt more and more that Zhao Yunyuan was really one yardstick. It's one thing for Lin Size to be chaotic, but it's another thing to secretly admire her.
But Gu Hongjian still didn't expect that Zhao Yunyuan would have such a big reaction to his own death.
Speaking of which, the two have only been colleagues for four years.
It's worth it to get Zhao Yunyuan's red eyes.
Hey, it's a pity that I didn't know until after my death that I had a confidant who didn't like each other's eyes.
"If you live to see people die, you want to see corpses, what do you mean when you say you can't find them?!"
A burst of noise made Gu Hongjian regain his senses. She turned her head, only to find that Zuo Ninghao was roaring at the newspaper with an angry face.
The messenger was so frightened that he said: "It is said that the scene was too chaotic at the time. Although we finally won, we suffered heavy losses and were unable to pursue them. After the victory, Vice-General Wang immediately noticed that Mr. Gu was missing. But they searched everywhere and couldn't find it. Only a few of Mr. Gu's personal soldiers saw Mr. Gu being picked off by Bai Licen and then killed by Chang... The body was never found. It is possible that it was killed by Baili. Cen and the others took them away..."
Zuo Ninghao was even more angry: "I was taken away by Bai Licen and the others?! What do you mean, why didn't the corpse of one of the generals be guarded?!"
It was said that the situation was very chaotic at the time!
Gu Hongjian really felt that Zuo Ninghao was making trouble unreasonably.
Not to mention why he is so excited now, it is very questionable why he keeps shouting that he wants to see people die or see corpses.
Could it be that Zuo Ninghao, this little bitch, still wants to whip a corpse? !
really pissed her off...
Fortunately, the people around were still sensible, and they stopped Zuo Ninghao and said that there was nothing he could do if he was in a hurry.
The information on the battlefield is all rushed to the next place by one person, so that the fastest speed can be guaranteed day and night. This time, because it is only a good news, it is even more brief, even if Zuo Ninghao beat the messenger in front of him twice. Dayton couldn't ask for anything.
Zhao Yunyuan silently looked at the angry Zuo Ninghao, the flustered messenger, the other officials who were dissuaded, and a few ministers who obviously had ulterior motives. Close your eyes, turn around and walk away.
Gu Hongjian noticed it and wanted to go out, but suddenly realized something.
-Lin Size has been sent away for a long time, and now she is estimated to have arrived at the Palace of Palms, but why is she still here instead of being dragged away by Lin Size
Can she have more control over where she wants to stay? !
Gu Hongjian was a little excited because of this new discovery, but because she was worried about Lin Size, she still floated to the Palm Palace at the fastest speed.
Sure enough, the palace was also in chaos. The imperial physicians were busy rushing to and fro, and finally came to the conclusion that Lin Size had contracted the cold and had some fever, but he pretended to be fine. As soon as he heard the news of Gu Hongjian's death, he immediately felt Unable to hold on, he fainted.
Gu Hongjian looked at Lin Size lying on the bed with mixed emotions, his eyes were tightly closed, and there was a little cold sweat on his forehead. Although it was wiped off quickly, it also showed that his condition was not good.
"I really don't know how to take care of myself..." Gu Hongjian sighed.
After a while, Lin Size seemed to have stabilized a lot, and the medicine was fed. Jiang Haifu and Gu Hong saw the two of them. He hated many people by nature, so he was fine on weekdays. Whenever something happened, as long as Gu Hongjian was not around, Jiang Haifu was always the busiest and most tired one.
At this time, a notification came from outside, saying that He Fangning was here.
Jiang Haifu hesitated a bit, but after thinking about it, he let He Fangning in. After all, he was just a slave, and he couldn't keep the only harem queen from the emperor's door.
So Gu Hongjian looked at He Fangning with a sad face and walked in in a hurry. Jiang Haifu gave her a salute, she waved her hand, and said, "Okay, get up, how is the emperor now?"
Jiang Haifu said: "I haven't woken up yet, but it should be fine."
He Fangning leaned over to take a look, wiped Lin Size's sweat with a handkerchief, and sat by his bed quietly looking at him with a rather infatuated look.
Jiang Haifu didn't dare to disturb him, and stood aside quietly.
He Fangning said softly, "Servant Gu... passed away?"
Jiang Haifu paused, his voice was a little different, and said, "...Yes."
Gu Hongjian noticed that Jiang Haifu's eyes were also a little red.
He Fangning pursed her lips, glanced sideways at him, and said, "Have you ever cried?"
Jiang Haifu said: "Master Gu treats children very well."
"How is she treating you?" He Fangning said softly, "How come I heard about it, and what I saw myself, I saw Shilang Gu bullying you."
Jiang Haifu said: "Master Gu is a child, with a disgusting and kind face, and being kind to others. He has always been quiet. He deliberately made a bullying appearance on the face."
"Really..." He Fangning nodded lightly, "I think so too. She... doesn't seem to be approachable, but you all like her a lot. I'm so compromising, and you still don't like me. You too, Jiang Father-in-law too, Xiao Mingzi too... the emperor too."
Eunuch Jiang was another eunuch in charge, and Xiao Mingzi was the little eunuch brought by Jiang Haifu. He was the one who helped Lin Size grind before. These people were the servants who had the most contact with Lin Size.
Jiang Haifu said: "The lady is joking, we are all slaves, how can we like or dislike the master."
"But you guys like Gu Hongjian... Because you didn't take her as your master, and she didn't take you down as people, right?" He Fangning said.
Jiang Haifu did not answer.
He Fangning didn't ask any further, but said: "The emperor actually passed out... After a while, if the emperor wakes up, Jiang Haifu, tell me, how should I comfort the emperor..."
Jiang Haifu said: "The little one is also thinking..."
He Fangning sighed: "Forget it, it's probably useless to say anything."
At this time, Xiao Mingzi came in to report something. Jiang Haifu showed a hesitant expression. He Fangning noticed it and said, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Haifu said: "Master Gu's previous personal maid..."
"Go ahead, the emperor has me here to take care of it." He Fangning said.
Jiang Haifu responded and trotted out. Gu Hongjian glanced at Lin Size on the bed, and after thinking about it, he still followed.
As soon as he went out, he saw Xiangjun crying and crying.
"How could Master Gu die!? Master Gu is so good... woo woo..." Xiang Jun's eyes were already swollen, so it could be seen that he was crying all the way, "Master Gu can still do martial arts, I know... woo woo, she How can you die!"
Seeing her like this, Jiang Haifu's emotions that had been suppressed at first also flooded into his heart. He wiped his eyes with his sleeve and said, "Xiangjun, don't be too sad..."
Xiang Jun seemed to be a little tired from crying, so he simply sat down on the stone chair, regardless of whether it was in compliance with the rules: "Master Gu... woo woo woo... Master Gu..."
Seeing Xiang Jun like this, Gu Hong couldn't bear it, but heard Xiang Jun say: "If the emperor hadn't sent Gu Shilang to Huzhou, how could Gu Shilang die..."
Jiang Haifu was still wiping tears secretly, but when he heard this, he immediately widened his eyes and said, "Shh! Don't talk nonsense!"
Xiangjun said: "Am I talking nonsense?! Isn't what I said true?! Woohoo... Master Gu is only a woman, but she was actually sent to Huzhou... Woohoo... The emperor just wants to kill Master Gu!"
Jiang Haifu couldn't care about anything else at this time. He directly stretched out his hand to cover her mouth, preventing her from speaking any more, and said, "You don't want to die?! You are the only one who is sad!? Do you think the emperor is not sad?!"
Xiangjun slapped Jiang Haifu's arm hard, and finally broke free, saying: "Even if the emperor is sad, he deserves it, he deserves it!!!"
Jiang Haifu gritted his teeth and said, "Shut up if you don't know anything! Come on, you are just a little palace maid, do you want to die?!"
Xiangjun said: "If you die, you will die! Anyway, Master Gu is also dead! If you want me to be buried with you, I don't mind!"
Jiang Haifu probably got a headache from her anger, and said: "Do you know that the body of Master Gu has not been found yet?!"
Xiang Jun widened his eyes and stopped his tears. He said, "What do you mean? Master Gu might not be dead?"
Jiang Haifu said: "It's hard to say... Master Gu was picked off the horse and stabbed indiscriminately. It is logically impossible, but if Master Gu died, why would they take Master Gu's body away?"
Xiang Jun nodded like pounding garlic: "It makes sense and makes sense!!!"
Jiang Haifu said: "So don't make trouble! When Master Gu comes back, you are dead!"
Xiang Jun wiped his tears, nodded obediently, and left, Jiang Haifu sighed.
Gu Hongjian smiled helplessly.
In fact, Jiang Haifu's words sounded reasonable at first glance, but in fact they were flawed.
First of all, it was not honorable for Gu Hong to see the capture of Huzhou. Bai Licen didn’t like seeing Gu Hongjian very much. After stabbing her to death, it was normal for her to be dragged away by the way. Besides, although he was defeated, he took the enemy generals away. The first level is also considered a credit, and it can be passed.
Jiang Haifu obviously knew this, but Xiang Jun didn't understand anything, so he was easily deceived.
But... that's fine too.
Let Xiangjun have good wishes.
Gu Hongjian floated back to the palace hall, He Fangning was still sitting beside Lin Size's bed, watching him quietly, occasionally tucked the quilt for him, and occasionally wiped his cold sweat for him.
Seeing such a gentle gesture, Gu Hongjian's heart was unusually calm, even a sense of relief.
So be it.
That's it.
He Fangning, take good care of Lin Size instead of the incompetent Gu Hongjian.
Be gentler and more considerate with him.
