After Jiang Chenyue was stripped of her title of prince, she was placed under house arrest in Zhongcui Palace, but the matter of her collusion with Concubine Xi was tightly sealed. However, most of the officials present that day were followers of Prince Xuan, so the rumors that were not good for Jiang Chenyue were naturally still in the public eye. It spread quickly inward.

The harem was also blocked from all rumors, and only the queen knew the inside story.

Emperor Qi You rested in the Hall of Mental Cultivation for two nights in a row to avoid the Queen's "wrath".

On the third day, the queen really couldn't bear it anymore, and took the initiative to attack, and sent someone to send a letter, saying that she "burned all the five internal organs, and could not afford to be sick".

The emperor had to go to Kunning Palace to visit, and then couldn't get out.

The empress is a dignified and virtuous mother, and she would not easily resort to the method of "crying, making trouble and hanging herself three times", but now, she considered that something happened to her little prince, and she was rewarded forty big boards by the emperor.

It is said that it is not finished, but it is enough for the empress to drink a pot, and the heart is so distressed that only the mother Yi's own little Huangjue is alone.

Seeing the emperor entering the door, her eyes shot out hatred like knives.

Emperor Qi You had expected this scene long ago. In front of his beloved wife, he didn't dare to flaunt the majesty of the emperor. If you don’t suffer a little more, you won’t be saved.”

The queen heard the words and said in grief and indignation: "Could it be that if His Majesty kills her, it will be impossible to save her!"

Emperor Qi You immediately added: "Only hit a dozen times."

The queen glared: "Your Majesty thinks that there are too few beatings? Then let my concubine get the rest of the board for Ah Jiu!"

The emperor pressed her left shoulder helplessly, told her to sit down calmly, frowned and said in a low voice: "Suwan, do you think I don't feel bad?"

Seeing his serious expression, the queen took out her handkerchief to wipe away her tears, and said seriously: "If you really know how distressed you are, why did you draw conclusions indiscriminately?

The concubine already knows what happened, what kind of temperament Ah Jiu is, outsiders don't know, so it's possible that you still don't know?Your Majesty, don't blame me for talking too much, I'm afraid this matter has something to do with the second child, right? "

The emperor lowered his eyes, sat beside her, picked up the teacup, flipped the lid of the celadon bowl, and said in a deep voice, "Ah Jiu confessed the crime himself."

The queen said anxiously: "Then it must be some tricks played by others! Can't you make the decision for the child and investigate the case carefully?!"

The emperor remained calm, and his voice was calm but unquestionable: "I will make the decision for her? She is a majestic super-rank prince, and she is tripped up by someone, and she has no way to get out, so I have to take care of her?

Then when I don't make the decision in the future, what will this child do?Can you and I bless you for a lifetime?

The world is against the law, but Ah Jiu has been smooth sailing since she was a child. If she doesn't suffer a little bit, who will walk for her in the future? "

The queen was stunned for a moment, blinked her eyes and asked in doubt, "Your Majesty means... did you deliberately let Ah Jiu fall into this trap?"

Emperor Qi You looked sideways at her: "Yes, this time, Ah Jiu must know that she wants to avoid the price of fighting in the royal family. No matter who framed this matter, if she is unwilling to fight back, or even restrained, she will be captured without a fight , then the matter of suffering in the future is yet to come."

The empress can understand the meaning of these words - too smooth growth may not be a good thing, taking advantage of this catastrophe to deprive Jiang Chenyue of her innate glory and status can make this child have due awe and desire for power heart of.

The two were silent for a while, the queen sighed, and said: "I understand what your majesty means, but I still don't want to part with it. I want to go to Zhongcui Palace to have a look, so I can feel at ease."

The emperor put his hand on her arm and said comfortingly: "I have to leave her alone for the time being, so don't worry, I have arranged people to watch her all the time.

Ah Jiu’s injury is not serious, if it’s the first time he pleaded guilty in public and was beaten, he couldn’t get rid of his face, lay on the bed for two days and ignored people, refused to drink the medicine, and didn’t know who he was competing with in his heart, so angry that the medicine bowl was overturned dozens of times It's just that I'm in good spirits. "

The queen's eyes turned slightly, she looked at the emperor's face, and said softly: "Your Majesty, His Highness the Ninth Prince is naturally grievances for himself! Although His Majesty's conviction has ulterior motives, we can't let the villains who murdered the super-rank prince of Daxia succeed! "

The emperor sighed heavily when he heard the words, and it took him a long time to reply: "I'm afraid that Han'er will be a hindrance to this matter."

"A Sheng?"

Gu Sheng looked up from the needlework in his hands, and saw the little scumbag with a smirk on his face, and a pair of shallow pupils looking at him expectantly.

Gu Sheng smiled and lowered his head, continued to thread the needle, muttering in his mouth: "Your Highness, stop making trouble, the servant is busy, I'm tired today, Your Highness should rest earlier."

"Why are you tired again?" The little scumbag came to her side angrily, looked at the complicated embroidery in her hand with reluctance, and said angrily: "Embroidery is such a boring thing that I haven't fallen asleep, how much can I do?" Tired? Can't you spare half a stick of incense to accompany Gu?"

Gu Sheng burst out laughing, raised his head and wrinkled his nose, and said coquettishly, "It will be embroidered in two days~"

The pale golden eyes in front of him suddenly dimmed, and he looked at her with a lonely expression, and opened and closed his thin lips.He whispered to her softly: "Gu can't wait that long."

In a word, it seemed as if her heart was torn apart suddenly, and an inexplicable sense of unease swept through her whole body. Gu Sheng threw away her needle and thread, and hurriedly reached out, trying to grab Jiang Chenyue, but was in vain.

"Your Highness...Your Highness!" The surroundings were in chaos for a moment, a voice still called her name next to her ear, and Gu Sheng was eager to catch up, but her legs seemed to be filled with lead.

Finally, she opened her eyes in utter despair, woke up from the dream, and was drenched in sweat.

After two days of not closing his eyes, Gu Sheng just fell asleep next to the imperial concubine limply, his dream was full of bits and pieces of the past.

My thoughts slowly returned, and my eyes turned to the carved wooden window. The parrot on the window sill was still shouting: "A Sheng! A Sheng!"

It turned out to be calling her name.

Why do you want to imitate that person?Does Xiao Hua miss the little scum too?

The longing that had been suppressed for the past few days suddenly broke the embankment, Gu Sheng's nose was sore, the sockets of his eyes were scorching hot, and tears fell straight down like a string of broken beads.

Suddenly began to regret, feeling that he was not good enough to the little scum before.

I still remember that year, when the four-year-old His Highness the Ninth Prince sniffed snot and yelled at her, "All the earth dragons will be rewarded to you", Gu Sheng promised in his heart at that time that he would do his best to treat that child well.

After going through such a heart-piercing parting, she was still wasted wantonly by herself after recovering. It turns out that the "future" is not as long as she imagined, and the days together are one more day, one day.

Without paying attention, that person left.

There is no return date.

Xiaohua jumped from the bird stand to the window sill, her round eyes stared at Gu Sheng who was crying hysterically on the bed.

After hesitating for a moment, it flapped its wings twice, opened its throat very obediently, and coaxed her as best as it could: "Young lady, sing to the sky!"

The crying in the room stopped for a moment, and then became even more out of control.

**

Jiang Han didn't come to visit her for the next few days, no one sent news from the palace, and the days trapped in the mansion were hopeless and powerless.

Gu Sheng tried to win over the head of the guards, and did not ask him to let him go out of the house, but only wanted to get some news about Jiang Chenyue from him.

She also knew that this was nothing more than drinking poison to quench thirst. Where did a thousand households from the fifth-rank Jinyiwei get the ability to inquire about the secrets of the palace?

He unceremoniously accepted the money that Gu Sheng gave him, and made up an ambiguous "news" to fool people, but in the end he said something to comfort her.

Five days later, Gu Sheng finally ushered in a glimmer of light—the Fifth and Seventh Princes had arrived.

As soon as he entered the main courtyard, seeing Gu Sheng's tear-stained face, the fifth prince shook his head and lamented: "Oh, Miss Gu, you have to take good care of yourself. Look at your face. Let Ah Jiu come back and see it. Change of heart!"

Gu Sheng couldn't wait to ask him: "How is your Highness?"

The fifth prince raised his eyebrows and joked, "Which Highness are you asking? Our two brothers are also Highnesses!"

It is said that those who hang out with the little scum are all bad people!

Gu Sheng was so anxious that he could grab the ground with his head, staring at the fifth prince with wide eyes, his breath was choked in his throat, unable to get up or down.

Seeing this, the Seventh Prince immediately comforted him and said: "Don't talk to Fifth Brother, don't worry, Ah Jiu's place is very good, I have stayed in Zhongcui Palace before, except that the land is not as spacious as your mansion, everything else is available, I can't treat your Ninth Highness badly!"

The fifth prince shook his head and shook his head: "Isn't that right, buddy, I've heard for the first time that this person who broke into the cold palace also brought two third-rank nobles to serve as a gift. We really... wish to 'suffer' for Lao Jiu!"

Gu Sheng's heart was really relaxed after being made into a dough by the two of them.

The two princes looked at the lovely and pitiful beauty in front of them, their complexions softened a little, and then they entered the room and took their seats.

The two of them sneaked into Zhongcui Palace to visit Jiang Chenyue last night, and today they came to the mansion specially to comfort Gu Sheng under the order of the little imperial sister.

And a little message with the characteristics of His Highness the Ninth Highness—"The cakes in the imperial dining room are far worse in color and fragrance than those in Aifei."

Specifically, whether it tastes worse than Aifei's own, or worse than Aifei's cakes, it's hard to get into the details. The two princes feel that there may be two meanings in it, a pun.

Gu Sheng's heartache, which has been so intense for the past few days, was diluted by this sentence brought by Jiang Chenyue. She couldn't wait to ask the two of them: "Is there any other message?"

Is it possible that there is no consolation like "A lonely heart is like an arrow", "A concubine does not have to blame herself", "I have no regrets and no regrets"?

However, it is a pity that the villain's scumbag will not change, and the fifth prince solemnly conveyed another message——

"When I miss you, I feel that those two Tong Shi look more and more beautiful."

Gu Sheng: "..."

These two crisp messages were a hundred times more effective than tender words of love. With a knife in hand, they destroyed all of Gu Sheng's sadness and self-blame in one fell swoop.

Gu Sheng's pale cheeks blushed from the shame of those two messages...

Looks better!

The Fifth Prince and the Seventh Prince looked at each other——

In the end, it was Ah Jiu who knew her daughter-in-law well, so she was really coaxed.

In fact, the situation is far from optimistic.

Probably because she has never suffered such a great humiliation in her life. For the past few days, Jiang Chenyue has been lying in the Zhongcui Palace, silently, refusing to drink medicine or bird Tong Shi, drank a few mouthfuls of water, refused to eat, and even Forget about pastries.

The moment the fifth prince slipped into Zhongcui Palace's bedroom last night, he saw those light golden pupils that used to be full of vigor, and looked at him dullly—

He was a heartless, seven-foot man, tears came down on the spot.

The two princes suppressed their tears from the beginning to the end, and listened to Jiang Chenyue seriously teach them how to lie to Gu Sheng after entering the mansion.

After the hasty discussion of the matter, the two brothers jumped out of the palace wall, hugged each other and cried paralyzed, howling like wolves.

In order to "follow their mission", they still exerted their energy and came to the mansion to perform a play together.

The first two jokes when entering the mansion were taught by His Highness Ninth Prince. Gu Sheng guessed exactly what they would say when he saw them.

Before the two brothers left, they left a message to let Gu Sheng wait in the mansion with peace of mind.

The guards outside the mansion will leave in a few days. The emperor obviously did not intend to severely punish Jiang Chenyue. When the limelight passes, they will find an opportunity to bring Gu Sheng into Zhongcui Palace and meet Jiang Chenyue.
