Chapter 391 Must Live Harshly
But the words had already been spoken and there was no going back on them, so he could only order people to prepare the palace and send people to guard it strictly.
…
When everyone was settled, it was already completely dark. Guo Lu walked alone along the path in the palace, avoiding the guards and heading towards the palace where she had lived since she was a child.
With a creak, the door of the Zichen Palace was pushed open. There were weeds everywhere inside and no light. But Guo Lu was not afraid. She walked straight to the bedroom where Concubine Xian once lived. She didn't care about the dust on it and lay on the concubine couch that Concubine Xian loved most during her lifetime and cried.
"Mother, are you doing well in the other dimension? Have you met father yet? The princess and the young princess said you will be very happy there. Have you forgotten your daughter?"
"It doesn't matter. Even if you forget your daughter, it doesn't matter. Your daughter will never forget you."
"But mother, I miss you so much..."
"If possible, my daughter doesn't want to be born in this palace. I'd rather be an ordinary citizen with my parents. It doesn't matter if it's a bit hard and tiring. At least our family will always be together, instead of being like this... leaving me alone."
"Don't worry, mother. The princess treats me very well. She even said that she will avenge me personally. After I finish this matter and leave Beining, I will let go of my hatred and forget everything. I will start a new life."
"Although I have never met my father, I believe he is a very good person. Mother, you must be good to him, and I will be fine too."
"My daughter is leaving now and will never come back. Goodbye, mother."
Guo Lu propped herself up and stood up. Her legs were numb, probably because she had been kneeling for too long. Just as she was about to fall back, a person with a slightly cold but strong body hugged her in his arms.
"You... Cen... Cen Bei?"
"Have you been following me?"
Cen Bei rarely let the person go, but held the person even tighter in his arms.
"I'm not stalking you. I told you I would protect you."
"Guo Lu, I know you're sad now, but... you're not without family. You still have the princess, the little princess, the little prince, and..."
At this point, Cen Bei's eyes darkened as he thought of something, and he slowly loosened his hand: "I'm sorry, I lost my composure, I won't do it again."
"I know you don't like me like this. After today, I will try to appear in front of you less often and will never cause you any trouble."
"The princess knew you were out, so she told you not to go back and go directly to Concubine Rou's Luoyang Palace. She said she would wait for you there."
Guo Lu opened her mouth to say something, but Cen Bei had already disappeared in a flash.
She felt the pine scent slowly dissipating, and felt a little lost.
After an incense stick of time, Guo Lu stood in the distance and looked at the tightly closed gate of Luoyang Palace, the hatred in her eyes almost overflowing.
When she was a child, Concubine Rou deliberately found fault with her and punished her by making her kneel here. She bumped into her mother many times, but that dog emperor not only did not help her mother but also scolded her and confined her mother, who was a noble concubine, to house arrest on the grounds that she had not raised her daughter well.
One time, my mother saw Concubine Rou bullying her and got so angry that she started arguing with her. Concubine Rou turned around and told the emperor. That night, the emperor furiously went to my mother's palace and slapped her hard...
Perhaps because he was afraid of my uncle's military power and that my mother would complain, the dog emperor gave me a lot of rewards the next day.
There is no rule in Beining that prohibits the sale of items in the palace. After the emperor left, my mother asked her personal nanny to take all the rewards out of the palace and sell them. She used the money to set up a porridge stall and donated it to the charity. Perhaps it was because of my mother's good deeds that she was able to gain merit and have the next life with my father.
"Don't think about it. Everything will be over after today."
Bu Ruo came out from somewhere holding the little girl's hand and walked towards Luoyang Palace with her as if taking a walk. The guards patrolling around also disappeared.
The little girl took Guo Lu's cold and slightly trembling hand and said, "Aunt Lu, Mom said that in addition to avenging you today, she will also give you a surprise~"
Guo Lu was startled: "What surprise?"
The little girl shook her head mysteriously: "Although Bu Bu really wants to tell you, I can't tell you, because if I tell you it won't be a surprise anymore."
As she spoke, she looked up at Bu Ruo with an annoyed look on her face: "Mom, can you please not tell Bu Bu about this kind of thing in the future? Bu Bu knows but can't tell, and she feels very uncomfortable."
Bu Ruo looked at her anxious daughter and chuckled softly, "I just want to temper your temper, so that your little mouth won't talk nonsense all day long."
The little girl said with a face full of resentment: "But the beautiful mother-in-law said that Bubu can't be as kind as her mother, and must live a mean life."
"Every now and then, the beautiful mother-in-law thinks of my mother's past and wants to go to the fairyland to kill people. Master Jun advised the beautiful mother-in-law that this would not solve the problem, but the beautiful mother-in-law said that although it would not solve the problem, it would make her feel better."
"Bu Bu feels that in this matter... the beautiful mother-in-law is right."
"Then the beautiful old lady would sneak into the fairyland every once in a while and put people in sacks, beating and kicking them while cursing. Master Jun would stand by and keep watch for the beautiful old lady."
Guo Lu couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, and even her mood became a lot more relaxed.
At the gate of Luoyang Palace.
"Princess, do you need me to knock on the door?"
"Need not."
After Bu Ruo finished speaking, he waved his hand lightly, and the palace gate, which had been locked, was as if it had been opened from the inside, without any sound. After the three people entered, it closed itself again, as if nothing had happened just now.
The three of them stood in the courtyard and looked around. Just when Guo Lu was about to take the initiative to lead the way, they saw their master walking towards Concubine Rou's bedroom as accurately as if he was in his own back garden.
But no one noticed that there was a large dark red flower hidden in the air above Luoyang Palace, and the faint light enveloped the entire palace.
In the bedroom, a sound that was not suitable for children was heard. The little girl looked at someone who had already stretched out his hand and consciously covered her ears.
"Aunt Lu, Bubu can do it by himself. Tell Bubu when they are done fighting."
Guo Lu: …
Bu Ruo: ...
She knows quite a lot. It seems necessary to find some time to collect all those indecent notebooks of that woman.
In fact, it's not that she hasn't collected them before. She and her master once cleared out all the notebooks in the study while the woman was away.
But the result was... his master's father was beaten for a long time by that woman, who twisted his ears. A few days later, that woman went to some unknown dimension to find more notebooks and filled up an entire wall with them. She even happily showed off to him...
The lights in the bedroom were off and all the palace maids around had been sent away. Bu Ruo had no habit of disturbing others, so he took the two of them to sit leisurely in the pavilion outside the bedroom and waited, and even gave each of them a handful of melon seeds.
Guo Lu: …
