?Peng County
In the twilight, one person saw that Jinsheng Pawnshop had hung the baffle in advance, and he turned around and hid in an alley. +++The latest Danmei novel ranking: EbookFREE.me网o
Soon, a white dove flew over the alley, fluttered its wings and circled for a week and flew away.
On the opposite side of the alley, in the Jinsheng pawnshop, the crying and screaming and crying were like digging his abdomen, causing the treasurer Qi to hang his head sadly, his eyes dark and painful, and he asked weakly:
"My lord, what do you want to do on earth?"
At the table, Leng Qingtang raised his jade face slightly, with a smile on his face:
"This superintendent will never tell the treasurer Qi to do evil things like murder and arson, but just to help read an account."
When the voice came to an end, a secret guard took out a blue enveloped booklet from his sleeve and placed it on the table.
Shopkeeper Qi saw the sudden look behind him, his plump palms tremblingly picked up the accounts, and as he turned the pages carefully, his pupils enlarged and his face turned red and white.
Leng Qingtang's eyes were slightly constricted, the corners of her lips moved, and a hint of laughter bloomed coolly:
"This account was obtained by the governor from an official and eunuch, and the officials involved had many business dealings with Guizhuang.
The Governor wants to know the true identity and name of the person named "Wu Laiye" in the accounts, treasurer Qi, this question is not difficult for you to answer, right? "
Leng Qingtang is so clever. When I look at this account, I know that the "Wu Laiye" above must be a pseudonym for someone, and he must be the core figure that runs through the huge network of corruption between Wan clan and Korean officials.
If you find him out, you will be able to find evidence that directly points to the gods, fathers and sons. Those, compared to what he had presented to the imperial concubine in order to save Gu Yunxi, the evidence was much stronger.
For a long time, the shopkeeper Qi closed the accounts with an ugly face, and his voice was silent.
Leng Qingtang has no more patience, Li eyes turned to the dark guard, his voice strangely indifferent:
"This superintendent sees Young Master Qi with great looks and good years. I want to take a close disciple and take it back to the Superintendent of Li..."
The secret guard understood, and immediately pushed down Young Master Qi, ignoring his stern shout, and quickly stripped off his pants with a few iron hand movements, and then got up and drew out the dagger. Net o
Gongzi Qi was shocked by the bright and sharp blade, lying on his back, struggling fiercely, shouting:
"Father, father, save me! Son don't be a eunuch, don't--"
There was a sudden fierce pain in the thigh, blood gushing out from the wound.
The terrified Young Master Qi didn't know that the dark guard was just making a cut in his right leg, thinking that he was cut off by the opponent, and after a wailing, his chest rose and fell a few times, and he fainted with fright.
The shopkeeper Qi cried bitterly, fell to his knees at the feet of Leng Qingtang, begging:
"Master, I beg of you. He is the only son who won't be confused in the old age, and he is still counting on him to inherit the incense of the Qi family. Master, please forgive me!"
Leng Qingtang raised her eyebrows leisurely, playing with the cuffs:
"You quickly tell the Governor what you want to know."
"Okay, I say, I say all--"
...
The capital, the imperial palace
At night, the waiter in Kunning Palace went to Xiaoyexuan to pass on the imperial decree of Queen Qian, and called Yu Zhaoyi to enter the Lingming Platform of Kunning at the time of her unity, and enjoyed dinner with the empress.
After receiving the order, Gu Yunyao hesitated, thinking that Su Rili went to Kunning Palace as a routine greeting, and had no close contact with Queen Qian, but she didn't know why she was suddenly given food.
Zhao An stepped forward to persuade that Xu Shi knew that she was almost killed by the imperial concubine, so he put up a small banquet for some time after the autumn festival to show her comfort.
Gu Yunyao believes in Zhao An the most, so she settles down, dresses and dresses meticulously, integrates the ceremonial guards when it's dark, and rushes to Kunning Palace on the sedan chair.
Arriving at the destination within the designated time, Gu Yunyao first went to the main hall to ask Queen Qian to greet her, and then followed her to the outer court.
The setting sun is slanting, the foot is in the golden orange afterglow, stroking the vines dyed with red frost, and you can see a carved veranda around the big leaf banana. The pool under the porch became clearer, and there were many flowers on the water.
Across the veranda, there is a delicate and elegant three-story small building between many weeds and silk hangings. The horizontal plaque on the vermilion carved door on the first floor:
Lingming Taiwan.
The green window oil wall, the window and door railings are painted with vermilion powder, and the magnificent patterns are carefully carved. o The cloud steps in front of the porch are wide, all chiseled with patterns of flying phoenixes spreading their wings.
Looking at the left and right, the whitewashed walls are white, magnificent and gorgeous, but they don't fall into the cliche of luxury.
It is not the first time that Gu Yunyao has come to Kunning Palace, and he also knows that the origin of this "spiritual platform" is derived from the terrace on the top floor of the small building.
An inmate welcomes Queen Qian and Yu Zhaoyi into the small building. Before this moment, someone had carried in a few scented candles, and the maidservants had lit the lights everywhere.
At this time, the hall on the first floor was filled with cigarettes and colorful, with candlelights everywhere, and the orchestra sounded in unison.
Queen Qian and Gu Yunyao took their seats one after another. As Zhao Anzhi said, the Queen first mentioned the storm in Yongning Palace and comforted Gu Yunyao and Yan Yue for a while, but she put all the responsibility on Tu Muxue, who had acted improperly.
Gu Yunyao has always known about Aunt Mu's personality, so she just filled her ears with empress Qian and Xi Ni.
In a young age, the servant entered the hall and Tongbing, and Mr. and Mrs. Min Guogong arrived.
Gu Yunyao was sitting upright on the armchair, her expression a little cramped. After all, it was a bit abrupt as a concubine to share a seat with foreign ministers, and she hadn't heard from the empress beforehand.
When Wei Shi's nervous eyes turned to Queen Qian, her only smile was gentle, obviously implying that Gu Yunyao didn't need to care.
And when the Min couple walked into the main hall side by side and walked to the queen to give a salute, Gu Yunyao really saw Min Xing's face clearly, her eyelashes were raised, and she sat in a chair in a daze for a long time, unable to return to her senses.
After the ceremony, Min Xing's face was awkward when he got up, and Shui Yingying's eyes locked on Gu Yunyao's dull and gorgeous face for a long time. The twitching of the facial features seemed to try to restrain certain emotions.
After the banquet was put on, Queen Qian led the crowd to their seats, and the waiter announced the opening of the banquet.
Two actors appeared on stage, singing the drama "Yang Zongying Goes Down the Mountain to Admit His Mother".
At the banquet, Min Xing mentioned several times that he led a pair of sons and daughters twelve years ago and rushed to the place where the master was transferred to meet him. He didn't want to be robbed by horse bandits halfway through, and accidentally lost his eldest daughter when he fled.
Gu Yunyao's face was stunned, her beautiful eyes stunned, and her eyes were mixed with grief and anger, which was extremely complicated.
After another half hour, Gu Yunyao got up and led people out of the hall on the grounds of changing clothes.
Only on the veranda, a humble voice came from behind:
"Pearl..."
Gu Yunyao paused, his figure as if fixed by a spell, her heart stunned and heavy, swaying on her chest flickeringly, chaos without leaving.
Until the call came up again, the tone was anxious, trembling and sad:
"You are Pearl, mother has been reading Pearl for more than ten years, right?"
Gu Yunyao slowly turned around, her expression calm, her eyes flashing, revealing obvious coldness.
"Mrs. Min, are you calling this palace?"
Min Xing's expression was slightly stagnant, and his face was pale and stiff, very unnatural.
Time is not forgiving.
The Min Xing clan in front of him is nearly forty, and a pair of phoenix eyes are still delicate, but the tails of the eyes are slightly drooping. Even with heavy makeup, it is difficult to conceal the extreme looseness of the eyelids.
Even so, this face is not difficult to be reminiscent. Generally speaking, after more than a decade, this woman must be a beautiful woman with outstanding signs.
Looking at him for a moment, Gu Yunyao's face was indifferent, and her eyes were as cold as an ice pool. She silently looked at the crow-blue imperial official uniform that was draped by Min Xing, and the sea waves and moiré patterns on the stray were exquisitely embroidered.
She wears a hibiscus bun on her head, and is centered on a silver peacock stone face with two pairs of plain silver hairpins, which is solemn and elegant.
Min Xing's family was also looking directly at Gu Yunyao, paying full attention and keeping his eyes open.
But seeing her with a high bun in a half-moon bun, the dazzling bead on the sideburns, a dotted jade hairpin with a winter sparrow and plum on the side is very conspicuous, a beak dumpling with an east bead, and a few finely shredded tourmaline tassels underneath.
Her body is a lotus-colored smoky brocade skirt, the upper body is a fragrant concubine wishful cloud head slanted breasted half-coated, lining her shoulders and arms, slender waist, wide sleeves, light and comfortable, you can see a bright wrist like white jade. The pair of thin oil-green bracelets intertwined each other, making the wrist even more tightly gripped.
The veranda fell into silence for a while, Gu Yunyao's eyes were faint, and the pair of shining water eyes reflected the flames of the palace lanterns on both sides, which seemed to dye her young and beautiful face with a cold and alienated color.
Min Xing's heart trembled slightly at this moment, and he also felt that his behavior just now seemed reckless. He hurriedly folded his hands sideways and bowed his body. After praying deeply, he nodded and prayed softly:
"Niangniang forgive her, and I implore Niangniang to step back and go to the veranda with her concubine to discuss in detail."
Gu Yunyao raised her eyebrows coolly, her lips curled up like a sneer, and she said broadly:
"No, Song Qin is the maid in charge of this palace, she is not an outsider in the first place, so you can speak bluntly about what matters to your wife, and you don't have to cover up and pretend to be mysterious."
The words hurt Min Xing's Confucian heart. She immediately felt aggrieved. Her plump lips were half-open, and the trembling words wanted to be spoken, but she was struggling for a while without a clue, and finally filled her throat.
"Pearl...you already recognized your mother, right? You still blame her for being cruel, don't you?"
Two lines of tears burst into his eyes, Min Xing hid his face with his sleeves and twitched them together.
Gu Yunyao's eyes were red instantly, her bright eyes were sparkling, and the moisture inside was thicker.
After a moment of silence, his face suddenly changed, Gu Yunyao clenched fists with both hands, and said with certainty:
"Yeah, I have hated you for twelve years! If you hadn't just cared for your younger brother, how could you cruel me to the nanny, and you would take him with the guards and flee first?
The nurse hid me in a tree hole for my survival, and used herself as a bait to distract the horse bandit, and was insulted to death by the horse bandit.
If it weren't for you, how could I fall into the hands of Dongchang and be taken to the court to raise me? How could he be sent into this red wall, living like a walking corpse all day long, waiting to die? !
Since then, this palace hates being used by others the most, but it happens to be locked in this palace, unable to escape the bad luck of being used and manipulated! So, do you think this palace will call you "mother" again, so, what face do you have to stand in front of this palace"
For the past twelve years, Gu Yunyao has been resenting her poor fate, and from the moment she was sent to the palace, she also viciously poisoned Leng Qingtang.
Until today, when she saw the enemy who abandoned herself and the nanny in person, she discovered that the person who caused her tragedy and hated her most in these years should be the vicious-hearted woman in front of her!
