Vol 4 Chapter 1: Fight for the Seven Princes

It was still dark at dawn, Zhao An received the news at night and hurried out of the palace gate.
To an elegant room in the teahouse, Zhao An opened the curtain and entered, but Leng Qingtang did not show up.
Inside, a guard stood by the window, looking alert. There is a person sitting at the table of the Eight Immortals next to him. It is... Aunt Mu?
When the appointment arrived, Gu Yunxi put down his teacup and got up to hold his fists.
"Grandpa Zhao, I haven't seen you for many days, you have always been fine."
"Samurai Tu, our family has returned a gift. Excuse me... are you looking for our house?"
While talking and deporting, Zhao An’s clear eyes had already carefully looked at the girl's purple dress and soft leather black armor, and then leaned back, describing it as respectful.
Gu Yunxi held his hand to the tea table and said straight to the point:
"To be honest, it was Governor Leng's arrangement to come to see you in a humble position. Please sit down."
Looking at her plain face, Zhao An did not refuse any more.
"Grandpa Zhao, I heard that the maidservant Xi'er of Yongning Palace is now working as a errand in Jingyang Palace?"
The East Factory and the Si Li Supervisor belong to the same line, and both are under the direct jurisdiction of Leng Qingtang, and the two parties have always been the most informed.
Now that the news from the palace spread to Dongchang quickly, Zhao An was not surprised by this.
Zhao An's eyes fell slightly, as if sighing, and replied:
"Yes, people arrived at Jingyang Palace last night... In fact, even if Lord Leng doesn't find a minion, the minion wants to find an opportunity to contact the East Factory, and there are some things he needs to talk to the governor."
Gu Yunxi stared at him for a moment, and hurriedly asked:
"Grandpa Zhao, have you found something wrong?"
Zhao An's figure was calm and silent for a moment, and his elevated vision stared directly at the girl without any obstruction. The faint light under his eyes was unclear, like some kind of deep incomprehension and doubt:
"Samurai Tu, something happened that night when my master walked out of Yongning Palace. I believe Governor Leng had long been suspicious, and the master will be inseparable from the imperial concubine.
Even if the master doesn't say anything, our family can guess how much it is that the enchantress used the life of the little master Yunxi as a threat. My master...hey, there is also Master Xu, she, she died so badly! "
The feminine voice trembled unconsciously, and the man's eyes were wet and red, and he hurriedly pulled over his wide sleeves and applied a few to his face.
Gu Yunxi lowered his head to conceal the injury on his face, his thin body twitched violently from the pain in his heart, his back bends in an arc.
This time, Zhao An was invited by the supervisor's order, and she wanted to explain something to him.
Zhao An is the in charge of Jingyang Palace, Gu Yunyao's most trusted person, only by letting him know the truth, his heart will be completely surrendered to the Dongchang, in order to better protect Gu Yunyao.
Temporarily suppressing feelings of grief, Gu Yunxi scratched his eyebrows and deliberately spoke slowly:
"Grandpa Zhao, what the humble post will tell you next, please be careful not to miss a word, and don't have the slightest doubt about what the humble post says..."
Looking at each other, Zhao An stared at the girl's face with surprise for a long time.
At this moment, why does the expression occupying her five senses, that perseverance, that firmness and calmness, make him think of someone out of thin air?
After a moment of speechlessness, the girl pursed her lips and calmed down, and then spoke clearly:
"Grandpa Zhao, I am Yunxi...I am the real Gu Yunxi!"

In the morning, Gu Yunyao asked Song Qin to help her change clothes and makeup.
"Master, you should rest in bed. It hasn't been a whole month yet."
Song Qin carefully persuades, her expression reluctant.
Gu Yunyao smiled coldly, but said nothing of disapproval:
"Anyway, I can't give birth, what does this palace take care of now? You will send Xi'er over later."
Xi'er is naturally Tu Muxue, who only came to Jingyang Palace last night, and she always behaved well and behaved with all the palace people.
The situation in the deep palace is changing rapidly, and Tu Muxue never expected that Wan Yuyao, his partner, would be attacked overnight.
If you want to stay in the palace without being troubled by Leng Qingtang and Gu Yunxi, and successfully complete the final task, you can only temporarily honor Gu Yunyao.
Entering the warm pavilion, Tu Muxue faces the woman in front of the makeup mirror with a sweet and sweet voice:
"Yun Xi has seen my sister."
Gu Yunyao has finished dressing up, and the gentle and clear voice in her ears makes her eyebrows lifted, and she can't hide her joy.
I couldn't wait to turn around, looked at the girl with bright eyes, and said with a smile:
"Get up quickly, I said yesterday, as long as you are in my palace, you don't have to be like this."
When she speaks, she has to get up and come to help her personally.
Tu Muxue pretended to be panicked, and immediately got up and ran to each other with a smile:
"Sister, sit down quickly, just get up by herself."
Gu Yunyao and her held hands, and the thin cheeks covered by the powder showed a light and natural flush, and her heart was full of joy that could not be described by words.
The younger sister's face is not the same as what she remembers. Except for a few minutes after she has been in the Yongning Palace, her eyebrows are still delicate.
The forehead is delicate and smooth, a pair of apricot eyes shining like stars under the supple eyebrows, and the lightly pressed lips look like pink cherry blossoms.
That whole face was the beautiful rose when the morning dawn first woke up, and the fairy air of the clear water was fascinating.
Looking at it, Gu Yunyao burst into tears again.
When the girl saw it, she became sad, shook her body, her little mouth made a soft voice, her tone of complaint:
"It's all Yunxi's. It made you sad for a while when I arrived at my sister's palace yesterday, but now it makes you sad again."
Gu Yunyao took a deep breath, blinked her wet eyes, and tried to change into a happy expression:
"Where am I sad? It is obvious that I saw you have mixed feelings. You don't know it, my memory has long ended in the year you disappeared, and every time I see you now, I am always afraid that I am in a dream..."
Song Qin shook his head slightly, her eyes darkened, and she murmured comfortingly:
"Master, your body is better. You shouldn't be overly worried. Xi'er is right in front of you now. It's true. You can be happy soon."
Turning his head to look at the girl, He Yan told:
"Xi'er, since you have come to the master's womb, according to the etiquette, the slave and maid should call you'little master'. However, the harem is so well-regulated, and you and the master's boudoir names are only one word apart, which inevitably leads to suspicion. From now on, you should also pay attention to what you say before and after others. It is better to call yourself "Xi'er"."
The girl's face turned red, her slender fingers clasped tightly, her expression a little dissatisfied.
Gu Yunyao's sensitive gaze caught it, and then she nudged her palm, slightly angrily:
"Go, there is nothing to do with you here, go out quickly and let our sisters talk in one place."
Kindly reminded that the host complained, Songqin only laughed, but he would not really blame her in his heart. After the blessing service, he gently retreated outside.
Tu Muxue suddenly knelt on the ground, the waves of the water filled his eyes:
"Yun Xi, thank you for your life-saving sister! Yun Xi knows that you must have promised the imperial concubine what conditions to exchange for me. Sister, sister, this life will be yours from now on."
"My good sister, get up quickly. We have been more in love than our own since we were young. You are not allowed to kneel on me when there is no one!"
Gu Yunyao shed tears, stretched out her hand to wipe the tears for her, crying and laughing:
"Zuo is not afraid to die for your sister. From now on, you and I will be together. One day I will not allow you to be bullied. Come, sit down and talk to me."
"Thank sister!"
The girl smiled and took a seat opposite Gu Yunyao.
The sisters chatted for a moment, and the topic naturally came to the Seventh Prince Hua Nanlin.
"Sister, are you really determined to bring the Seventh Prince over?"
"Sister Xu had sympathy with me before she was alive, and now she is gone, the imperial concubine is like that, it is not suitable to continue to raise the prince..."
Gu Yunyao intends to die in his stomach for the private transaction between him and Wan Yuyao.
I only blamed myself for being jealous of Leng Qingtang in all kinds of ways, and in desperation he was caught in a trap to save Yunxi, and Xu Yuanjiao was killed.
But in this way, as the victim, he has become Wan's accomplice invisibly, and she is also a grasshopper on the same rope.
Gu Yunyao couldn't tell the truth truthfully, even though the flames of revenge rolled in her chest every day, making her suffer from regret and burning, but she still couldn't tell the truth to the public.
Because she knew that when Wan Yuyao was killed by the truth, she would also be burned to ashes by the fire of karma.
Gu Yunyao was not afraid of death, or that her heart was already dead in the palace.
At the moment she still has a lot of unfinished things. She doesn't want to cause the suffering of her mother's family. She also has Zhao An and Yun Xi, two people who are hard to give up anyway.
She wants to live, live well, even if her body and mind become darkened into ghosts!
"Yun Xi, I heard that the East Palace has been in and out of the Qinming Hall frequently in the past few days. I want to come to the Queen and have no children. I am afraid that I am thinking of Lin'er. I must think of a good way to bring Lin'er over first."
"Sister, sister is worried about your body..."
The girl pressed her lips, her worried expression on her face was the first to make people feel distressed.
Gu Yunyao smiled:
"Don't be afraid. At the moment, the imperial concubine can't take care of herself. Lin'er will stay in Yongning Palace for another day to make me really sleepy and sleepless. Please help me think about how to attract the emperor's attention and think that I am the most raising Lin'er. Good candidate."
A faint light flashed across the light water eyes, silently, the girl smiled faintly, complicated and unclear.
Turning to look at the bed frame:
"I'm afraid it will rain today..."
Gu Yunyao was puzzled, frowned and said:
"I ask you to help me out. Why do you care if it rains?"
The girl smiled lightly, her small hands clenched into fists with a calm expression:
"Sister, don't worry, my sister is thinking of one now. It's better to choose a day than hit the sun, just today. Today, my sister will do it for you."
Gu Yunyao was puzzled, her eyes dazzling:
"Yun Xi, what can you do? What do you want to do, and how many manpower you need, if you say it, sister will answer you all!"
Girl looks cunning:
"Just me and a pot of sugar water."
...
Queen Qian was waiting outside the Palace of Qin Ming, but she was startled by the occasional coughs and frowned.
After being summoned, Feng Lu crossed the threshold and walked dignifiedly to the dragon case:
"The concubine has seen the emperor."
Lifting his eyelids, Emperor Xiao looked at the woman with melancholy, his fat palms moved away from his mouth, and he cleared his throat:
"Get up."
Queen Qian smiled brightly:
"The spring banquet is approaching, and the concubine's concubine and the superintendent of courtesy checked the accounts. Seeing that it was still early, they cooked a cup of tea by hand and brought it to the emperor to taste.
The imperial concubine hid in Yongning Palace without seeing the sun. Empress Qian took the opportunity to invite Ying, took the initiative to take the initiative to prepare for the spring banquet, and waited for the opportunity to step up and completely take back the power of the vixen's assistant to the sixth house.
It's time for her to be too sick!
According to Donggong's eyeliner response, after Lei Huanda's actions, Wan Yuyao is no longer crazy now, but seeing the Seventh Prince is like seeing a ghost.
So, is it appropriate for the two-year-old child to be raised in her palace?
He took out a white jade jade cup from the red lacquered Luotian carrying box and placed it gently beside the emperor, with a deep smile on the woman's plain and elegant face.
Emperor Xiao moved his nose and inhaled lightly and smelled a strange light fragrance.
After uncovering, there is a breath of fresh air wafting out, and it penetrates into the nasal cavity without any cover, refreshing.
Looking down at the fragrant tea, you can see that the red amber color water is clear, the roots of the tea are like silver needles, with small white fluffs, which are quietly sinking at the bottom of the cup.
The emperor stretched his eyebrows, finally there was a hint of joy on his face, and he took a toast.
The tea taste is smooth and sweet, and the tip of the tongue seems to contain honey, which feels very wonderful. The water temperature is just right, not warm and not hot.
The emperor is full of comfort and admires:
"Sure enough, it's a good tea, but I don't know what the name of this tea is. Why is the water dark in color?"
The woman gently curled her lips and talked about:
"Enjoy the emperor, this tea is taken from last year's young maple leaves by concubines, steamed in the urn, dripping water and dew, and sealed in the ice cellar.
Medical book cloud:
Maple Leaf has the effects of promoting Qi and relieving pain, regulating lungs and moisturizing dryness. In spring, the sky was dry, and it was heard that the emperor occasionally had cough disease today. The concubines specially opened the can of maple dew and boiled them, and made silver arrow tea with boiling water, named "Maple Dew Tea" and offered it to the emperor to enjoy. "
"Well, the queen is interested."
Emperor Xiao took a few more sips before he put the teacup and coughed again.
Queen Qian's eyes were slightly dark, and she tilted her head to look at the hollowed-out copper beast incense burner in the corner of the wall, her voice dull:
"The smell of ambergris is too strong, and it is not suitable in the temple at this time. It is better to replace it with Su Hexiang, which opens up sputum."
On the side, father-in-law Zhang looked terrified and bowed again and again:
"It's a minion who is confused. Change it now, change it now."
The big walked out of the hall in a panic, and the atmosphere was quiet for a while.
The emperor looked at the woman intently.
To be honest, he didn't remember for a while, how long he hadn't seriously looked at this woman, the only woman among the thousands of beauties in the Sixth Courtyard of Sannomiya who was married to him.
Today, she is wearing a double-flying phoenix suit from Vientiane's life. The pair of golden silk and nine-tailed phoenix wings are embroidered with exquisite beauty. With every careful and careful movement of her, she diffuses a dazzling brilliance.
The gentle and elegant woman smiled and looked at her, her focused and focused eyes filled with seven points of admiration and three points to please.
After a while, a kind of compassion sprouted from the heart of a man.
She is a queen, she wears the harem mother ceremonial world, and now she is showing a flattering attitude towards him who is sitting in a high position.
Perhaps at this moment, she is just an ordinary woman, just as the man in front of her, her husband!
The big palm covered the woman's slightly dry hands and patted twice, the emperor muttered:
"Queen, you always come here recently, but have something to tell me?"
The woman's obedience and ingratiation brought a man's rare peace of mind, and he asked with full patience.
Queen Qian's eyes flashed and she was delighted in her heart.
It seems that the homework these days has not been done in vain, and everything will come naturally.
The corners of her mouth rose slightly, the woman's voice was clear, and her eyes flickered frequently to look at the face of the emperor:
"The emperor, the imperial concubine's jade body has been ill for a few days. Yongning Palace currently has five princesses and six princesses. It is already hard for only three mothers to carry them. Now the seven princes have passed, I am afraid that there will be more children. Resting is not helpful.
Other concubines have little qualifications for the concubines, but the concubines have been more leisurely these days, not to mention that Ji Yanye has grown up to adulthood and does not need to be overworked by the concubines.
The concubine thought that for Yuyao, Mo Ruo would take Lin'er to Kunning Palace to raise her for a few days, and then send Lin'er back to Yongning Palace when her younger sister was well. "
"This……"
Emperor Xiao listened carefully and said to himself:
"It's strange to say that Lin'er's child and the imperial concubine were originally married, so how come they can't get together?"
His thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the faint noise outside, the emperor looked around, and saw Gong Gong Zhang walking into the hall with a copper furnace in his hand, his expression was different.
Emperor Xiao asked in a deep voice:
"What's the noise outside?"
Putting down the copper furnace, Zhang Gonggong saluted the empress:
"If you go back to the emperor and the empress, there are people in the palace who say that there is a strange scene under a cypress tree in the imperial garden."
Queen Qian was surprised and tilted her head:
"Different scenery? What is it?"
"Hui Niangniang, countless ants gathered under the cypress tree to show a line of words, it is indeed unseen in the ages..."
Emperor Xiao stared impatiently and yelled angrily:
"Speak clearly, what is the word you are gathering! Don't ask me a question, you only answer a sentence—"
"Minions deserve to die."
Father Zhang knelt on the ground trembling, his voice was shrill:
"Yu Concubine Min has a son."
