Chapter 143 Zhao Mingzhu, I'm waiting to see you cry.
The grandfather and grandson walked slowly along the way, and the old empress dowager sighed.
How could the royal family allow its offspring to wither away? How could the dynasty continue? How could she have the face to meet her ancestors in the underworld?
"What is the Empress Dowager sighing about? You can talk to Yan'er about it."
The Queen Mother looked at the silver light along the way and said, "Your Royal Brother is so inhumane. How can I not sigh for the fading of this bloodline?"
Gu Yan listened quietly, then said, "Royal brother... Hey, didn't he say he found the child who was stranded outside?"
When this was mentioned, the old queen mother disagreed:
"Who knows whether the child's bloodline is real or not? The royal bloodline cannot be mixed up, but how can we verify it in such a short time?"
Not only was the old empress dowager unwilling to acknowledge it easily, even the emperor was indifferent to the matter.
Thinking of this, the old queen mother thought, if Gu Qingheng is also infertile, then wouldn’t it be a way out to simply recognize the child?
Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly heard some noise coming from the rockery in the lotus pond.
She listened carefully again, and her face suddenly became ugly. Gu Yan pretended not to know and asked doubtfully:
"Grandmother, what's wrong?"
The old queen held her arm and suddenly said in an excited voice: "Little devil, why are you running!"
Gu Yan heard it and she called out softly, "It's my royal brother."
outrageous!
Although the old empress dowager was not happy with Gu Xun's wanton enjoyment in the palace, she was prepared to turn a blind eye.
She said to Gu Yan, "Accompany me back to the palace."
Then he turned to the eunuch and said, "Go and tell Prince Jing to get back to the palace! How shameful!"
Fortunately, she did not bring those young ladies with her, otherwise no one would want to marry into Prince Jing's Mansion.
When everyone was about to leave, Gu Xun said excitedly: "Zhao Mingzhu, you are still my favorite!"
Zhao Mingzhu? Zhao Mingzhu!
In the palace, besides the Crown Princess, is there anyone else named Zhao Mingzhu?
The atmosphere in the Imperial Garden instantly dropped to freezing point. Gu Yan could feel the shock and fury of the person on her arm.
Gu Yan whispered, "Maybe they just have the same name."
The old empress dowager's face looked stormy.
The younger brother covets his elder brother's woman, his own sister-in-law.
Or maybe the uncle and sister-in-law committed adultery.
No matter how you look at it, it's a definite scandal!
The eunuch who had just walked to the rockery bent down and presented the three-color jade hairpin he picked up from the ground to the empress dowager.
It was obvious that this was worn by a noble, so a eunuch like him could not get any closer.
"Go, tell them to put on their clothes and get out!" The Queen Mother was so angry that her chest hurt, but she glanced sharply at the palace servants behind her.
"If what happened today is leaked, I will not let anyone off!"
A group of palace maids in the back knelt down and said, "Yes, Queen Mother."
The scene was filled with panic for a moment. The old queen pressed her temples and squinted her eyes to see the swaying figure on the rockery in front of her.
"Grandson greets the Empress Dowager." Gu Xun reeked of alcohol, but his eyes were clearer.
I felt regretful and wished I would have used Wu Shi San earlier.
"Asshole!" The Queen Mother slapped him and shouted, "What are you doing?"
There are so many women in the palace, and he is actually having an affair with the Crown Princess!
Gu Xun was slapped and had no idea what was going on. He was a little confused, but seeing the old empress dowager's angry face and that he had missed the banquet again today, he lowered his head and said nothing.
The old empress dowager looked at Zhao Mingzhu, who was supported by the nanny and had disheveled hair. Her face was flushed and covered by the cloak, but her exposed neck was full of ambiguous marks. For a moment, her blood rushed to her heart and she had a headache.
"Whore! Throw her in a pig cage!"
"Hey, what's going on?"
Almost at the same time, Zhao Mingzhu's voice came from the corridor. She was dressed neatly, and the three-color jade hairpin on her temples was particularly eye-catching in the moonlight.
The Queen Mother turned to look at her, then looked back at the person next to the nanny.
"You...what's wrong with you?" She is Zhao Mingzhu, so who is this person?
Zhao Mingzhu gradually approached, and she looked at the old empress dowager with a smile:
"After my granddaughter-in-law changed her clothes, His Highness sent someone to call me to the imperial study. My father gave me a hundred-year-old blood ginseng and ordered me to bring it back to him."
Following behind her was Changshu, the guard of the Eastern Palace, holding a wooden box in his hand.
Gu Yan's eyes flashed with surprise, Zhao Mingzhu... She turned back, that person on the ground is Su Lu? !
When did this idiot reveal his weakness?
The Queen Mother was silent for a moment, and her headache eased a little: "Nothing, Xun'er has fallen in love with a palace maid."
Zhao Mingzhu was surprised after hearing this: "Prince Jing is not..."
Then she thought she had made a mistake and said with a smile, "Then congratulations to Prince Jing on finding a beautiful woman."
Since it was a misunderstanding, the Queen Mother took Gu Yan's hand and said in a deep voice, "Take the person away."
The maid of Shoukang Palace nodded, this woman's life could not be spared.
Otherwise, if the news of Prince Jing coveting the emperor's sister-in-law were to get out, it would really tarnish the reputation of the royal family.
When the Queen Mother passed by Gu Xun, she said, "Xun'er, come with me."
Gu Xun was confused due to the effects of the Wu Shi San and followed unconsciously.
Zhao Mingzhu stepped aside and watched the Queen Mother and her men leave in a grand procession. She then retracted her gaze and fixed it on the unconscious person lying on the ground.
After everyone left, Su Lu woke up faintly, but she felt her limbs were tied up and struggled desperately:
"What are you doing? Let me go!"
As she struggled, she realized she was naked and became even more frightened.
“Who are you?!”
Only then did Su Lu realize that she had been thrown into a mud pit.
The overwhelming mud and dirt fell on her head and was about to bury her alive.
"Is she awake?"
"Shh, hurry up and finish burying it and leave. Don't worry about it. We are all going to die anyway."
After the two palace servants finished speaking, they buried their heads in digging the soil. When they saw that the person was completely buried, they hit the person hard several times with their shovels.
"Let's go. It's so deep and she's tied up. There's no way she can crawl out. She'll suffocate to death soon."
"Well, let's go." One of them stepped on it a few times, picked up the shovel and walked away together.
Su Lu lay in the pit, her mouth and nose filled with the smell of mud. The air in her chest was thin, and the more she tried to breathe, the more stuffy she felt.
The feeling of death is always there.
Help, save me.
Suddenly she felt the soil above her loosen and be dug up, and the moonlight fell on her face.
Zhao Mingzhu leaned forward and looked at her: "Su Lu, we meet again."
When Su Lu saw her, he widened his eyes and struggled, but could only kick his legs helplessly.
This pleased Zhao Mingzhu, and she didn't hide the smile on her face: "Su Lu, do you want to ask why I discovered you?"
Changshu brought a chair over, and she sat down, crossing her legs. "To be honest, the first time I saw you, I felt a sense of déjà vu. Plus, Shuangyun clearly said that you came from a poor family, but I let you go, but you treated money like dirt and had a subtle contempt for me."
She firmly believed that no one in this world wanted to be a beast of burden, and no one would be willing to be one.
Jinzhu and the others are family-born children, so they can understand.
But she was clearly a free person before, so how could she be willing to be a slave for the rest of her life?
Unless she is obsessed with Gu Qingheng to the point of giving up everything.
Zhao Mingzhu held her hand and said, "By the way, you are particularly obsessed with Gu Qingheng. It would be hard for Su Lu not to recognize you."
Of course there is more to it than that.
Zhao Mingzhu sighed that Su Lu and she were really in sync. Just when she was about to test whether it was true or not, the other party gave her the opportunity.
"You bitch!" Su Lu looked at Zhao Mingzhu with resentment.
"What did you say?" Zhao Mingzhu looked at her and seemed to be saying something, but she didn't understand lip reading.
"How come you're mute after sleeping with Gu Xun?" she complained.
These words made Su Lu stunned. She was mute, how could it be possible?
She tried to curse a few more times, but she couldn't hear any sound. She touched her throat in panic. Impossible!
Zhao Mingzhu looked at the sky and didn't want to waste time anymore.
"Su Lu, if you want me to rescue you, tell me who helped you change your appearance and enter the East Palace."
Zhao Mingzhu took the shovel from Changshu and said, "Otherwise, I will hit you to death with this shovel."
Su Lu was still immersed in her loss of voice when a person suddenly came to her mind: Gu Yan!
It must be her!
Zhao Mingzhu held the shovel and looked at Su Lu making "hmms and ahs" sounds, and she clicked her tongue.
"What are you writing down? I don't understand."
Zhao Mingzhu pulled out the hairpin from her head and threw it in front of her. Su Lu grabbed it and made a horizontal stroke on it.
Changshu noticed someone, he looked back and saw an arrow whistling towards him.
"Crown Princess, be careful!"
He protected Zhao Mingzhu behind him. The next second, Zhao Mingzhu heard Su Lu whimpering and turned her head to look over.
Su Lu opened his eyes wide as an arrow hit him in the back.
The arrow penetrated, and the sharp tip flashed coldly in the moonlight.
Damn!
Zhao Mingzhu walked over and squatted down to support Su Lu who was about to fall to the ground. Su Lu was bleeding from all seven orifices, but he laughed instead.
Zhao Mingzhu.
I'm waiting to see you cry.
