Gu Yanyue looked at Gu Yanrou's frightened expression and felt relieved. She looked at the concubines around her.
Those who usually colluded with Gu Yanrou secretly were now too frightened to speak out. By doing this, Gu Yanyue not only taught Gu Yanrou a lesson, but also served as a warning to others.
"Someone, please send Concubine Rou down." Gu Yanyue said lightly, and then Yan'er beside Gu Yanrou stepped forward: "Master, are you okay?" and helped Gu Yanrou away.
After returning to the palace, Gu Yanrou immediately slapped Yan'er in the face: "You traitor, why didn't you protect me when I was beaten just now? You bastard! What's the point of me keeping you?"
Then Gu Yanrou threw a teacup without saying a word. The cup hit Yan'er on the head and blood immediately flowed out.
"Your Majesty, it's all my fault. Please forgive me..." Yan'er just knelt and begged for Gu Yanrou's forgiveness.
Gu Yanrou was furious, her facial expression distorted. She clenched her fists tightly and said angrily, "Why don't you go back home and find my mother?"
At this time, she could only think of asking her mother, Madam Qin, to help her. After all, when she returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion that time, Gu Yanyue took the opportunity to send the nanny beside her away. Now she couldn't think of anyone else who could help her.
Yan'er received the order and stood up hurriedly, wishing she could leave here as soon as possible.
"Gu Yanyue, just wait and see!" Gu Yanrou said gritting her teeth.
…
Fengqi Palace.
"Sister, what's wrong with you? You look very worried today." Gu Yanyue noticed from the beginning that Yu Fei was a little uneasy today. Now that everyone had left, she kept Yu Fei and wanted to ask her alone.
"Sister." Concubine Yu hesitated to speak and then sighed.
"Sister, just tell me what difficulties you have." Gu Yanyue pulled Yu Fei to sit down.
Perhaps it was because Gu Yanyue was too gentle and reassuring, so Concubine Yu began to tell her about her troubles.
Concubine Yu's father was persecuted by the Jian people. Now the family is unable to make ends meet and has no source of income. The Yu family can no longer afford to eat.
Gu Yanyue looked at the jealous Concubine Yu and felt a sense of empathy. She also had similar financial problems in modern times.
She held Concubine Yu's hand and carefully comforted her.
It is inevitable that Yu Fei, a girl who has been spoiled since childhood, would feel a little uncomfortable when suddenly encountering such a change.
However, Yu Fei's father has always been an honest official, so how could he suddenly be caught with something wrong?
It seems that there are still many unknown things in this court. Yu Wenran needs to investigate.
"Don't cry, little sister." Gu Yanyue comforted Yu Fei, "I have saved a lot of money these days, so it's enough for you in an emergency. Also, I have a lot of treasures and jewelry here. If you don't have enough, you can come and get some to buy. We can always get by."
As he spoke, Gu Yanyue gestured to Liu Mei to go into the house to get the money.
Liu Mei came out with a purse, and Gu Yanyue gestured for her to hand it to Concubine Yu. Tears immediately streamed down Concubine Yu's face, and she knelt on the ground with a plop: "Sister, you have been so kind today, I will never forget it."
"What are you doing? Get up quickly." Gu Yanyue, a modern person, was a little frightened by being suddenly knelt down like this. He quickly helped Yu Fei up: "What are you doing? Stop crying and put the money away quickly."
Concubine Yu was deeply grateful to Gu Yanyue for her timely help. She held Gu Yanyue's hand tightly and said, "Sister, I will never forget your kindness to our family."
"You call me sister, how can I not help you?" Gu Yanyue said with a smile, and then stuffed the purse into Yu Fei's hand.
A friendship was established in the deep palace.
…
In a few days, the envoys from the Western Regions will arrive on a diplomatic mission. Yuwen Ran has been wholeheartedly preparing to receive the envoys. He cannot let others laugh at his country.
The messenger had not arrived yet, but the news had arrived first.
Yuwen Ran was currently dealing with the Empress Dowager and accompanying her and several concubines in the Imperial Garden when Eunuch Gao arrived.
"Your Majesty, there's news from the Western Regions saying..." Eunuch Gao hesitated to speak.
"What did you say?"
"She said that the Queen would come to pick her up personally."
Yu Wenran stopped what he was doing, and everyone around him didn't dare to breathe.
Everyone in the world knows the customs of Dongsheng Kingdom. Women generally do not receive foreign ministers. But now the envoys from the Western Regions suddenly ask for a personal meeting with the queen. Isn't this a humiliation to Dongsheng Guo and Gu Yanyue?
The atmosphere was a little subtle for a moment, and Yu Wenran's grip on the cup became tighter and tighter. At this moment, Gu Yanrou, who came with him, couldn't help but wanted to trick Gu Yanyue.
"Sister, you have such a wide circle of friends. You even know the envoys from the Western Regions. They even remember to meet you when they go on diplomatic missions."
She paused, glanced at Yuwen Ran, and her tone became aggrieved: "Unlike me, no man outside knows me except my family."
Everyone present was a shrewd person in the palace. How could they not hear that Gu Yanrou's statement was implying that Gu Yanyue was hooking up with men everywhere and was not a good womanizer.
Gu Yanrou kept talking, and every word she said was about Gu Yanyue being wrong. Eunuch Gao looked at Yu Wenran's increasingly ugly expression and wanted to step forward to shut Gu Yanrou's mouth, but he didn't have the courage.
With a "crash", the next second, Yuwen Ran threw the teacup in his hand. Gu Yanrou was so scared that she didn't dare to speak and looked at Yuwen Ran cautiously.
Yuwen Ran turned around and stared at Gu Yanrou: "It seems that Concubine Rou has some complaints about the Queen." Yuwen Ran looked at Gu Yanrou with a smile. Gu Yanrou had experienced a lot of things and knew how to read people's expressions. "I dare not!" Gu Yanrou answered carefully.
"Don't dare?" Yu Wenran raised his voice. "I don't think you dare to do anything. You've offended the Queen and you don't even know the rules. Since you can't remember the rules, go and learn them. From today on, Imperial Concubine Rou will be put in solitary confinement. Later, Eunuch Gao will go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to find a few maids who understand the rules and teach her properly."
He paused, then continued, "The Prime Minister's Mansion can't teach you, I'll ask someone to teach you." After that, he walked away, leaving Gu Yanrou standing there in a daze.
The way Yu Wenran looked at her just now was as if he wanted to kill her!
She was afraid...
The other concubines bowed to Gu Yanrou and left.
Gu Yanrou finally reacted and looked at Yu Wenran walking away, feeling very dissatisfied.
In terms of looks and talent, how exactly is she inferior to that little devil Gu Yanyue? Why is Yu Wenran protecting her?!
Why is everyone protecting that little bitch Gu Yanyue?
"ah!"
Thinking that she was put in solitary confinement again, and it was because of Gu Yanyue, Gu Yanrou was furious. She couldn't understand why she was inferior to Gu Yanyue.
"Yan'er, am I not beautiful?"
"The master is the most beautiful." Yan'er answered carefully.
"Bitch, you're talking nonsense!" Gu Yanrou kicked Yan'er.
"Master, Yan'er didn't lie, you are very beautiful!"
"Then why are all of them protecting that little goblin Gu Yanyue!" Gu Yanrou was a little crazy. She had lost to Gu Yanyue that time since she was a child, so why were all of them protecting that little goblin now!
Yan'er looked at her crazy master without saying a word, fearing that she would be taken out on him accidentally.
