The saying "never give up until you reach the Yellow River" refers to people like Sun Chongming.
After reading the confession, he felt that it weighed a thousand pounds.
Minister Sun noticed that something was wrong with him and went forward to check. Unexpectedly, he had the same reaction as Sun Chongming.
"I didn't announce it to the public in order to preserve the reputation of the Sun family and the royal family. I didn't expect that while I was governing the country, I forgot to govern my harem." The emperor sneered when he saw the reactions of the father and son.
This kind of royal secret was announced to the outside world as the concubine's death from illness.
"I will give her a decent funeral. This is my last mercy. If you, the Sun family, have any objections, please feel free to raise them." The emperor narrowed his eyes and stared closely at the reactions of the Sun family's father and son. If they had the slightest objection, he wouldn't mind sending the Sun family to keep Concubine Shu company.
Of course, the father and son of the Sun family did not dare to object.
The father and son went to the imperial study angrily and came out dejected.
The father and son were scolded by the emperor, and their already sad hearts became even sadder.
The setting sun in the west dyed the sunset red, which was somewhat warm, but he only felt a loneliness that was cold to the bone, even though it was clearly summer.
Gu Wanying went to the Imperial Observatory again, but her mood was completely different from last time.
She had no burden, no depression, only full of expectations. She was looking forward to the birth of her child and looking forward to giving birth to more children for the emperor.
A breeze blew into the hall, and the hanging curtains rustled, making the hall seem very quiet.
The supervisor still brewed a cup of tea for Gu Wanying, and he used the latest harvest of Longjing tea for himself. The moment the clear tea was poured into the cup, the tea fragrance filled the air, making Gu Wanying a little envious.
"Supervisor, do you think I am still surrounded by black energy?" Gu Wanying asked with a smile.
The supervisor looked at her from the reflection in the cup. Two or three tea leaves were floating upright in the water, blocking Gu Wanying's face.
He frowned slightly and looked up.
"Huh? No more?" He saw Gu Wanying's face and murmured subconsciously.
"Is my black energy gone?" Gu Wanying was about to breathe a sigh of relief when she heard him shaking his head in denial.
"no."
Encountering such a mysterious person, Gu Wanying admitted that she lacked patience and rolled her eyes mercilessly.
The beautiful lady rolled her eyes. This was something unprecedented and the supervisor couldn't help but want to laugh.
The director of the Imperial Observatory was a young but talented man with a wealth of knowledge. With this smile, the sharpness between his eyebrows and eyes disappeared.
"I saw two faces in the Empress before." The Supervisor suppressed his smile and sat up straighter.
Gu Wanying's hands on her knees suddenly shrank. She realized that she was too excited. She pretended to tidy up her clothes, but did not dare to look the supervisor in the eye.
"It's gone now." Gu Wanying's movements were visible in his peripheral vision. "But the black energy around the Empress seems to still be there. I can't make any rash judgments from this location."
Gu Wanying came out of the Imperial Observatory dejectedly, and didn't expect to meet Sun Chongming here.
The two men's eyes met in mid-air. Sun Chongming was a little surprised, but the sadness of Concubine Shu's death was soon diluted. He even felt a little numb.
Because he knew that his aunt used some vicious means to deal with Gu Wanying. If Gu Wanying had not been a blessed person, she would probably have died at this moment.
She sat in her own private sedan, looking down at the drooping father and son with no emotion in her eyes.
To this day, she and Sun Chongming have no more contact.
She was a high-ranking concubine, and he was just a small official. Now he could only look up to her. This feeling was really great.
Yue Tao, who was following beside him, also felt relieved.
Sun Chongming takes himself too seriously. He abandoned his elder sister and married his younger sister. Now he is looking at their queen with such a dying look. Who is he trying to disgust?
When Yue Tao was about to start scolding someone, the two people opposite finally moved.
"Greetings, Concubine Wan." Minister Sun came back to his senses and felt a little ashamed to face her.
Sun Chongming also saluted her numbly, and when he looked up again, his eyes were full of fatigue.
"Get up. Lord Sun came to the palace to see the emperor now. It must be about Sister Shufei's matter." Gu Wanying spoke, her voice as sweet as an oriole.
Minister Sun's back bent again, "The Sun family is sorry to the Empress."
"This is a feud between me and Concubine Shu, and has nothing to do with the Sun family. I really don't know how I offended Concubine Shu. She wants to kill me. She even wants to disfigure me." Gu Wanying smiled sadly. "By the way, the jewelry that Concubine Shu gave me was taken away by Qingqing. Little Lord Sun, if you see it, you must explain it to Qingqing."
"That jewelry is soaked in poison. Imperial Physician Jiang said that if you wear it for a long time, it will be disfigured and you might even lose the ability to conceive."
After saying that, Gu Wanying said goodbye to the father and son. The setting sun seemed to cast a layer of golden light on her. She looked like a fairy who came to the mortal world to play and was about to fly away in the sunset.
"Empress, why do you want to tell him this?" Yue Tao was puzzled. The second young lady bullied her mother like this, so it would be better not to tell anyone about this!
"Although my sister is extremely stupid, she is not guilty of such a crime. I have said that I wish her happiness and perfection, and she must be happy and perfect."
Facing the golden afterglow, Gu Wanying squinted her eyes comfortably, enjoying this moment of peace, and the boredom she felt from the Imperial Observatory disappeared without a trace.
If the enemy comes, we will fight him with our soldiers; if the worst comes to the worst, she still has the child-bearing system!
After hearing this, Yue Tao stopped worrying about it. After all, it was his Sun family's business.
Sun Chongming returned to the Sun Mansion in a daze. All the relatives of the Sun family's side branches were gone. They were all busy dealing with the businesses related to Concubine Shu.
The huge Sun family was wiped out in one day.
Gu Qingqing had heard about Concubine Shu's affairs in the morning, but she didn't know the reason. She just felt that everyone in the Sun family was in a hurry, as if something was chasing them.
Even Sun Chongming was the same, but since he returned home, he seemed to have changed. He was dejected and no longer as high-spirited as before.
It seems that the death of Concubine Shu was a great blow to him.
"Brother Chongming, what's wrong?" Gu Qingqing asked with concern.
As soon as Sun Chongming heard her voice, his eyes were dazzled by the jewelry on her head.
It was a butterfly flapping its wings, ready to fly. The main part of the hairpin was made of pure gold. When it was inserted into Gu Qingqing's bun, she looked lively and gorgeous.
Even someone like Sun Chongming, who doesn't know much about women's jewelry, can tell that this hairpin is worth a fortune.
"Take off this hairpin! It was given to Concubine Wan by your aunt. Now that your aunt is in trouble, this is her legacy. You are not allowed to wear it in the future." Sun Chongming's eyes fell on her hair, and he spoke with his lips moving.
