Four years later.

In the capital city in the twelfth lunar month, the remaining snow is shining, the moon is bright, the night is full of night, and the bright lights are clear all night. In the capital city, the carved beams and painted buildings, and the red faces have not changed, but things have changed.

Gu Jinzhi has been resting in Jishan Palace these days.

Jishan Palace is the bedroom of Empress Dowager Tan.

Gu Jinzhi has lived in Jishan Palace for a year and a half.

Four years ago, she was betrayed by the guards of the Luzhou Palace and captured her to the capital. Halfway through, people from Luzhou chased her. The traitors knew that they could not escape, so they only took Gu Jinzhi north and threw Tongtong and Yanshao away.

It's down.

Gu Jinzhi was both worried about Tongtong and Yan Shao at that time, and was anxious.

She didn't know whether they had thrown Tongtong and Yanshao down or harmed them.

Gu Jinzhi suffered such a double blow and almost died halfway through the birth. After the birth, her blood could hardly be stopped, and she was almost gone through the gate of hell. Now when she thinks about it, she is very scared.

If she hadn't been able to let go of her heart and relying on perseverance to support her, her soul had now returned to the underworld.

Sun Suan was bribed by the emperor's people.

Gu Jinzhi was also locked in the imperial prison of the Jinyiwei, waiting to use her to threaten Zhu Zhongjun.

At that time, she was dying and she was dying and supported by her breath. Now, she felt a sense of creepy. In the imperial prison, there were countless unjust souls, and the wind blew. In the middle of the night, a ghost was crying.

I was stunned, and after a long time of vagueness, I became numb later.

The emperor was also afraid that she would die, so he sent an imperial physician to see her.

The imperial physician who came to see her was actually Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan, a native of Suzhou, once had some friendship with Gu Jinzhi's uncle. More than ten years ago, Gu Jinzhi's aunt suffered from a serious illness. Her uncle invited Zhang Yuan to Yanling Mansion to treat her aunt, but she was not good at women.

Zhang Yuan, who is sick, read it wrong.

Then, Gu Jinzhi cured his aunt and slapped Zhang Yuan in the face.

At that time, Zhang Yuan was very dissatisfied and was afraid that Gu Jinzhi would tell the Song family about it, which would destroy his reputation as a famous doctor.

But Gu Jinzhi didn't.

She kept this secret and saved Zhang Yuan's reputation.

Although Zhang Yuan is competitive, he is open-minded. He has always thanked Gu Jinzhi for this matter. He also thought that he would have a chance to repay Gu Jinzhi in the future. Therefore, when he saw Gu Jinzhi in prison, he was stunned.

Down.

Then he smiled and showed a little kindness.

"...I'll give you a prescription, and you can send me a letter." At that time, Gu Jinzhi, when he saw Zhang Yuan, seemed to see a life-saving straw. She tried to hold Zhang Yuan tightly.

Zhang Yuan sent her a message.

"Princess, I dare not." Zhang Yuan just tried his best to treat Gu Jinzhi and did not dare to send a message to her.

Zhang Yuan is a smart person, and the Empress Dowager in the palace loves the Princess Luyang very much.

If the news of the Princess of Luyang spread, the Empress Dowager would definitely save her.

If Gu Jinzhi can go out, the emperor will definitely blame Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan came to treat Gu Jinzhi, not to the emperor's traitor.

"...You don't want the prescription for Angong Niuhuang Pills?" Gu Jinzhi asked Zhang Yuan.

Angong Niuhuang Pills are a more useful antipyretic medicine in traditional Chinese medicine, and there was no such thing as this era. Gu Jinzhi only gave the prescription to Qin Shensi.

At this moment, she didn't care about Qin Shensi's interests, she wanted to protect herself. It was important to save her life. She knew that Qin Shensi didn't blame her. If possible, Qin Shensi was willing to spend all his money to save Gu Jin.

That's it.

But now, it’s useless to lose everything.

In this cage, Gu Jinzhi couldn't get out.

"You only need to reveal a little information to the Empress Dowager." Gu Jinzhi was stunned when he saw Zhang Yuan, and knew that he was a little moved, so he continued, "No need to tell the Empress Dowager."

Zhang Yuan frowned slightly.

In the end, he helped Gu Jinzhi send a message, not for the prescription.

He secretly asked someone to tell Empress Dowager Tan about Gu Jinzhi in prison. Empress Dowager Tan has some blood relationship with the emperor, and she prefers the emperor more, so it doesn't matter if she tells her.

That's what Zhang Yuan thought.

Even so, Zhang Yuan is quite risky.

He thought that when he was left with a line, he would not owe her anything in the future. In this way, Zhang Yuan himself would be able to be free of debts.

Empress Dowager Tan knew that Gu Jinzhi was in the imperial prison and was a little surprised and asked the emperor what was going on.

She didn't want to save Gu Jinzhi.

She just didn't understand why she arrested Gu Jinzhi.

The emperor knew that Empress Dowager Tan would not plead for Gu Jinzhi, nor would he tell the Empress Dowager Tan truthfully: "The people in Luzhou are restless. Over the years, I heard that the King of Luyang has trained countless elite soldiers, which has added more

Artillery. They are trying to rebel! I have captured the Princess of Luyang first. If they dare to rebel, I will kill his princess. See if he has the courage to do so!"

"The King of Luyang is just a fool, so how can he have such ambition? Don't he be so provoked?" said Empress Dowager Tan, "Will your Majesty arrest the Princess of Luyang be angry with the King of Luyang?"

Queen Mother Tan didn't care about the life and death of the King of Luyang, but she didn't want Gu Jinzhi to die. Over the years, Luzhou has been giving medicine to Queen Mother Tan, which is indispensable for Queen Mother Tan.

The emperor captured Gu Jinzhi to the capital, which was equivalent to cutting off Empress Dowager Tan's medicine.

"I can't be very sure. As for anger, it's even more nonsense. If the King of Luyang did not have this mind, he wouldn't be angry." The emperor said, "But the affairs of the world will not be groundless. If Luzhou is fine,

How could this kind of rumor be related? I have my own measurements about this matter, so my mother doesn’t need to ask too much."

"How can the Ai family deal with what Your Majesty said?" Empress Dowager Tan smiled and said, "The Ai family does not want to interfere with Your Majesty's affairs. However, the Princess of Luyang sends medicine to the Ai family every year. If you take her life,

What should I do with the medicine from the Ai family? If I cut off the medicine from the Ai family, what is the difference between killing the Ai family?"

The emperor's face fell slightly.

Empress Dowager Tan accused him of wanting to kill his mother.

Over the years, Empress Dowager Tan has used filial piety to suppress the emperor.

Of course, things were not too much, and the emperor did not hate her.

He didn't want to get entangled with Empress Dowager Tan anymore, so he said, "Don't worry, my mother. I just locked up the Princess Luyang and didn't want to kill her. I also sent a letter to Luzhou to let the King of Luyang enter the capital. If Luzhou does not train troops, Luyang will be the King of Luyang to meet his own mission.

He went to Beijing to express his innocence. Besides, the case of Princess Yanping's rebellion was involved in the case of Princess Yanping, and Luzhou was difficult to protect it! All of these must be investigated."

This way, Empress Dowager Tan was so harsh when she heard it.

This emperor has been very fierce and treacherous recently, which made Empress Dowager Tan dislike it. I heard that it was Yuan Yuye's idea, but Empress Dowager Tan didn't want to persuade him too much.

She doesn't care who dies and who lives.

It doesn’t matter if Princess Yanping and King Nanchang are all about Empress Dowager Tan.

She cared nothing except her medicine.

"Your Majesty only keeps her life, it will keep Ai's family. Ai's family should be grateful." Empress Dowager Tan said, "As for how to place her, if Your Majesty wants to interrogate her, it's okay to cut off her feet and destroy her appearance.

But her hand is to be kept, she wants to make medicine for the Ai family. Your Majesty can care about this. The Ai family is grateful to Your Majesty..."

The emperor did not intend to torture Gu Jinzhi severely.

But after Empress Dowager Tan said this, the emperor wanted to interrogate it and see if he could make some comments from Gu Jinzhi.

The emperor already knew about the Gu family's escape.

He was struggling with no evidence and could not force Gu Yantao to stay in the capital.

It is also reasonable and legal for Gu Yantao to go south with his family.

If you can force confession from Gu Jinzhi, it will be beneficial to the emperor.

The emperor smiled and said to the Empress Dowager: "Mother, please be content. I will not ruin her medical skills!"

That night, the emperor went to the imperial prison to interrogate Gu Jinzhi.

Gu Jinzhi went north after falling into the body. Only one breath was left.

The emperor interrogated her and needed to be tortured, which she could not bear. Every time she interrogated, she would faint and her body would collapse more and more.

After suffering a lot in the prison, she later became unable to move on one of her legs.

It was only after she was in Beijing that the Empress Dowager heard the wind.

Because of Princess Yanping, the Empress Dowager was angry before.

As she was older, the Empress Dowager was not very strong in her body. She was sick again and she no longer cared about trivial matters.

When she heard the wind and guessed what happened in Luzhou, a month had passed.

The Empress Dowager called the emperor to Renshou Palace and was about to scold the emperor, but the emperor threw the memorial before the Empress Dowager, with a pale face: "Grandmother of the Emperor, King of Luyang, he has rebelled!"

The day before yesterday, the emperor received news that the King of Luyang not only did not go to Beijing to express his innocence, but instead formally launched an army to rebel.

When the Empress Dowager heard this, her eyes turned dark and she came to her senses after a while.

She picked up the memorial and looked at it again and again.

Indeed, the King of Luyang was rebelled.

The memorial slipped silently from the Queen Mother's fingertips and she fainted. After waking up, the Queen Mother was dying and never recovered from then on.

Two months later, the Empress Dowager passed away.

At that time, Gu Jinzhi was also in prison and had only one last breath left.

When she heard that the Empress Dowager passed away, she burst into tears.

In the end, she didn't even have the chance to give the Empress Dowager a stick of incense on the ground.

At that time, her legs were no longer good and she was unable to walk.

In the next six months, Gu Jinzhi was overly in the imperial prison.

Her hands and feet became increasingly unstraightened.

She didn't know how Luzhou was like in the past six months. When did Zhu Zhongjun and his son get up, and to what extent, Gu Jinzhi didn't know.

Half a year later, Qin Shensi stopped sending medicine to Empress Dowager Tan, and Empress Dowager Tan's medicine was cut off.

At this time, Empress Dowager Tan took Gu Jinzhi from the imperial prison to the palace and asked her to open an open space in the imperial garden to plant poppy and make medicine for Empress Dowager Tan.

Gu Jinzhi was temporarily settled in the cold palace.

However, the growth of poppy takes time.

Empress Dowager Tan couldn't get the medicine, so she vented her anger on Gu Jinzhi.

So, she suffered a lot.

It was not until she prepared the medicine that her situation improved slightly.

For the remaining two years, she lived in the cold palace and was with the unfavorable concubines.

The Empress Dowager passed away, and Concubine De was also confined to her and was not allowed to walk in the palace. No one in the harem cared about Gu Jinzhi's life and death.

Until a year ago, Empress Dowager Tan's body gradually deteriorated.

Only at this time did Gu Jinzhi completely control the situation.

She also moved from the cold palace to Jishan Palace.

Empress Dowager Tan obeyed her words.

****

The night was as cool as water, and Gu Jinzhi sat quietly on the bed, flipping through the medicine book.

This is the medicine book left by the old man, and it was brought to Gu Jinzhi by Empress Dowager Tan.

These days, Gu Jinzhi's memory has suddenly declined.

Some of the prescriptions that were deeply imprinted in her mind were slowly fading away.

This situation has been going on for more than half a year. In my previous life, even before my death, Gu Jinzhi never felt that the prescription in his memory disappeared.

Medical skills seem to be engraved in her life.

But now, she is only thirty-five years old. She has reached the point of forgetting. Her memory has rapidly faded, if she had not been sick, she would have been around for life.

Gu Jinzhi felt very shocked.

If she can't live, what will Zhu Zhongjun do? He will be alone again for the rest of his life. Thinking of this, Gu Jinzhi's heart was wet and he wanted to cry a little.

She couldn't let go of the children, and she couldn't let go of Zhu Zhongjun.

Children will get married in the future and each has their own lives. And Zhu Zhongjun, without Gu Jinzhi, will be alone like he did in his previous life.

Because he said that he was sick, he did not love women, he did not love men, he did not love the world.

He only loves Gu Jinzhi.

Gu Jinzhi was worried about him, so he found the medicine book left by the old man, read it slowly, and slowly lost it.

"Princess, the Empress Dowager is awake..." As Gu Jinzhi was flipping through the medicine book, the little palace maid came in and talked to her.

Gu Jinzhi put down the book and said, "I understand."

She got up and went to see Empress Dowager Tan.

Queen Mother Tan has been ill for more than half a year and relied on Gu Jinzhi to prosper her life every day. Her Fugui Ruyi Paste is still used every day, but she is so thin that she is skin and bones, which is terrible.

Empress Dowager Tan has no longer been willing to see anyone.

Except for the emperor, no one else saw her. Even the queen Li, Empress Tan would never see her again. Empress Tan privately told Gu Jinzhi that Empress Li was a good man, but she was too enthusiastic, which made Empress Tan annoy her.

Gu Jinzhi was like a palace maid, taking care of Empress Dowager Tan.

The emperor tried to take Gu Jinzhi back to prison several times, but Empress Dowager Tan refused. It was Empress Dowager Tan who protected Gu Jinzhi.

"What kind of storm can she cause as a woman? You men do not implicate women in the affairs of the government. If she would send a secret report to Luzhou, the Ai family will be punished." Empress Dowager Tan said, "The Ai family guarantees that she is fine, but the emperor will still give her a penalty."

If you focus on the government, don’t always doubt this or that…”

For this matter, Empress Dowager Tan repeatedly expressed her filial piety to suppress the emperor.

The emperor was very angry, but he could do nothing.

After all, Empress Dowager Tan cannot access any major military and political secrets, so Gu Jinzhi cannot become a spy. Gu Jinzhi stayed in Jishan Palace and stayed in Zhaozhu is actually the same.

When the emperor thought about this, he no longer made things difficult for Gu Jinzhi.

Gu Jinzhi also lived in Jishan Palace with peace of mind.

She thought about these past events and arrived at Empress Dowager Tan's bedroom.

"Empress Dowager..." Gu Jinzhi stepped forward and helped Empress Dowager Tan, "Are you awake?"

Empress Dowager Tan nodded slightly.

"Go and bring the medicine here." Gu Jinzhi ordered the little palace maid.

The little palace maid said that it is.

Empress Dowager Tan looked worried and asked Gu Jinzhi: "How many days can the Ai family live?"

"You want to live." Gu Jin's way, "How can this beautiful and prosperous world be shorter? Your life is with the sky..."

Empress Dowager Tan's expression remained unchanged and said lightly: "The Ai family has long disbelief of saying "Shou and Tianqi". It is also hard to live like this now. But this is how people are, they have to hold on to their hard work and can't swallow their breath."

The little palace maid brought the medicine and Empress Dowager Tan took it.

The medicine was very bitter, so Gu Jinzhi got up, went to take the candied fruit on the table, and gave it to Empress Dowager Tan.

Her left leg was inconvenient to move, and she was struggling as soon as she walked.

Queen Mother Tan knew that Gu Jinzhi had been lame, but today she suddenly felt compassionate and asked Gu Jinzhi: "Your foot cannot be cured anymore? Isn't your medical skills very good?"

Gu Jinzhi smiled, turned back, took candied fruit for Empress Dowager Tan, and served her to rinse her mouth.

After a while, Gu Jinzhi said: "I was interrupted in prison at that time. If I could be treated early, it would be fine. In my early years, my father also had his legs broken, his bones broke a little, and then he acted as usual.

The legs are delayed. Not to mention treatment in prison, they are dark and tide, and they can’t even eat enough to eat. How can they cure their legs well?”

"It's the King of Luyang that has harmed you!" said Empress Dowager Tan, "If he is not ambition, how could he let you, a woman, suffer these hardships? When His Majesty takes him, I will ask someone to bring his head to you.

look......"

Gu Jinzhi sneered.

She knew that Empress Dowager Tan did not intend to provoke. But she still couldn't hear this argument.

How did the court and the emperor who obviously harmed her become Zhu Zhongjun's fault?

"No need." Gu Jinzhi said, "If he was defeated and killed, I was afraid I would not be able to survive."

"You actually have feelings for him." Empress Dowager Tan sighed, "You may not be unable to survive. You can be in the Ai family's palace. No one in the court knows that you are in the capital, so you will still stay in Jishan Palace to take care of Ai's family.

The emperor will still be filial..."

Empress Dowager Tan will not investigate whether she is really filial.

Anyway, the emperor dare not violate filial piety.

When the King of Luyang dies, what is the value of Gu Jinyi's daughter? It should be okay to let her stay in Jishan Palace to serve like a palace maid?

Empress Dowager Tan rarely cares about court affairs, so she thinks very naively.

Both Empress Dowager Tan and the Emperor felt that Gu Jinzhi, a woman with one leg, had a thirty-five year old, and her life was over. What else could she do? Therefore, they were not taking Gu Jinzhi to heart.

In Luzhou, it seems that he did not deliberately pay attention to Gu Jinzhi.

During the past year and a half, Gu Jinzhi herself never mentioned any words about Luzhou. She seemed to be like a palace maid, and she was by Empress Dowager Tan's side. She was thinking about Empress Dowager Tan everywhere and cured Empress Dowager Tan's illness again and again.

Empress Dowager Tan was so ill that she thought that Gu Jinzhi probably forgot about Luzhou.

Luzhou is already very far away, right?

Empress Dowager Tan has no children and has never loved a man. She will never be able to understand Gu Jinzhi's feelings for Luzhou and Zhu Zhongjun.

So, she looked down on Gu Jinzhi.

Gu Jinzhi never explained.

She won't do any useless achievements.

She was calm and composed, which also gave Empress Dowager Tan an illusion.

In this harem, it is the emperor's territory. Gu Jinzhi may lose his head at any time. She needs the protection of Empress Dowager Tan, so she never offends Empress Dowager Tan.

Compared to being imprisoned in the imperial prison, she would rather live in Jishan Palace. Although at the beginning, Empress Dowager Tan was moody at first and was not good to Gu Jinzhi.

Gu Jinzhi also had a trick to deal with her.

Empress Dowager Tan couldn't live without Gu Jinzhi's medicine.

These days, Empress Dowager Tan became close to Gu Jinzhi and even regarded Gu Jinzhi as his confidant. Gu Jinzhi could not understand what Empress Dowager Tan was thinking.

Perhaps, raising a small animal can lead to love over time, let alone humans?

After Empress Dowager Tan developed a good impression of Gu Jinzhi, she began to make a fuss for Gu Jinzhi. She often said that the King of Luyang was not good, and the people in Luzhou were ruthless and unrighteous.

She didn't deliberately provoke it, but she really thought so.

"Thank you Empress Dowager." Gu Jin said, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know how much hardship I suffered now. I remember your kindness in my heart."

Empress Dowager Tan smiled.

After drinking the medicine, Gu Jinzhi took her pulse again.

Queen Mother Tan has not had much time left.

Gu Jinzhi also admires Empress Dowager Tan's willpower. It seems that her health has been bad since ten years ago, but she has been able to hold on to this day. But human beings are not gods, and no matter how strong willpower is, it cannot stop the body organs.

The failure.

The life of Empress Dowager Tan is coming to an end.

If Gu Jinzhi can survive, he needs Zhu Zhongjun to fight to the capital as soon as possible or find a new host.

Neither of these two things can be controlled by Gu Jinzhi. The former is Zhu Zhongjun's efforts, while the latter depends on opportunities. Without opportunities, everything will be in vain.

After taking the medicine, Empress Dowager Tan couldn't sleep, so Gu Jinzhi pushed her and took her.

Slowly, she closed her eyes and took a nap.

But the little palace maid secretly winked at Gu Jinzhi and asked her to speak out.

Gu Jinzhi came out.

"...The Empress comes to pay tribute to the Empress Dowager and ask if the Empress Dowager has rested." said the little palace maid.

Although Empress Tan did not see Empress Li, Empress Li would come to pay tribute to her on the 15th day of the lunar month, and never stopped.

Gu Jinzhi nodded and came out of the bedroom himself.

She saluted Queen Li and said, "Empress, Empress, Empress Dowager has just taken medicine and has already fallen asleep..."

For more than half a year, the Empress Dowager has not seen anyone.

Except for leaving Gu Jinzhi by his side.

"Then don't bother my mother." Queen Li said with a smile, "Princess, let's talk."

Empress Tan’s absence from seeing herself has become the norm for Empress Li. If she meets her one day, she should be surprised. So, she naturally got into family matters with Gu Jinzhi.

Gu Jin's way is.

The queen sat in the hall and asked Gu Jinzhi to sit aside.

"I heard that the thief does not know your whereabouts." Queen Li said, "It has been four years. The thief in Luzhou has determined that you are dead and you are going to marry a new princess."

After Zhu Zhongjun rebelled, the court withdrew his name and no longer called him King of Luyang.

However, inside and outside the palace, Gu Jin still calls him Princess.

Gu Jinzhi can understand the reasons behind this.

She was willing to do anything to survive.

When Gu Jinzhi heard the words of Queen Li, her face suddenly turned pale. The corners of her lips shivered. She looked at the queen, as if she wanted to confirm the truth of the matter, and tears were already flowing in her eyes.

The queen sighed and said, "This is true. The thief has colluded with Sichuan Governor Meng Yanjing, so that the Sichuan Governor also rebel. In order to form an alliance, the thief wants to marry Meng Yanjing's young daughter Meng Chucheng."

When Gu Jinzhi heard this, he suddenly burst into tears.

She could hardly sit still and fell down from the ground.

The queen hurriedly winked at the palace maids and asked them to help Gu Jinzhi up.

"...I am not worth it for you. The boy has a long head, but if you don't say anything, you still have three sons. It's better if the thief doesn't miss the relationship between husband and wife. Your children don't miss the mother.

In order to form an alliance, I will leave you alone." Queen Li's voice was mournful.

Speaking of this, she wiped her tears.

****

Gu Jinzhi held on and sat half on the brocade.

Gu Jinzhi, who was already pale and thin, suppressed the thrust of his shoulders and cried heartbrokenly, which made Queen Li feel a little unbearable.

Queen Li's heart is still a little soft.

The emperor sent her to do this. Empress Li was also somewhat resistant in her heart.

Seeing Gu Jinzhi crying like this, Queen Li's resistance became even stronger.

She wished she could tell Gu Jinzhi everything she knew.

How many good things do men have? As a woman, is it worth it for you to suffer in Beijing for the past four years?

This is what Empress Li thought before. Whenever she thinks of Gu Jinzhi, she feels very pitiful. Who else can remember her husband, her sons?

Now, her husband actually said she was dead...

Hearing such words, it’s better to die!

"Don't cry..." Queen Li's voice was slightly wet, "No matter what the thief is, you are the sixth aunt of this palace, and we are also relatives. Think about it, you have eaten in Beijing over the years

The suffering is forgotten by them in a blink of an eye. What should I do? The thief has newly acquired a concubine. What value do you have? I’m afraid you will be dead."

Gu Jinzhi suddenly looked up and looked at Empress Li.

Her tears were filled with horror.

My shoulders became thinner and shaky.

Queen Li knew that she didn't want to die.

"...What should I do?" Gu Jinzhi cried.

"Why write a letter to the rebels and let him come to Beijing to save you." Queen Li said, "Your Majesty said that if the rebels are willing to surrender now, they can return to Luzhou in the future. Your Majesty will continue to be named King of Luyang. This is

Reward him to return to the loss.”

"He...he's going to take on new people, so where are you still caring about me?" Gu Jinzhi cried, "If he really cared about me, he should have come to Beijing to save me in the early years. Now, I'm just afraid that

There is a dead end..."

Gu Jinzhi cried and fell to the ground again.

Her body was as soft as boneless, and she felt even more pitiful when she cried, which made people feel sad.

She couldn't stop crying.

Empress Li must not persuade her. Empress Li thought that after Gu Jinzhi suffered so much in this deep palace, he must have a hope in his heart, hoping that her man could come to save her.

This hope supports her to survive.

Now that this hope has become slim, she must be completely disappointed.

This was completely disappointed, which made her cry so sad, which made Queen Li feel so sad.

Empress Li has not lived well over the years. Although she is the main palace, she is not glorious.

She gave birth to two daughters in a row and had no son.

If Luzhou hadn't rebelled, the emperor would have been reluctant to take care of the past four years, so he would have already made Concubine Sun Chen's son the crown prince. Concubine Sun Chen was born as the eldest prince, which was very popular with the emperor.

Empress Li was worried day and night, fearing that she would gain power by Concubine Sun Chen and his son.

Gu Jinzhi cried like this, and Queen Li's eyes were wet when she thought of her sadness. Her heart was also heavy, so Gu Jinzhi's tears could arouse her sympathy.

Finally, Empress Li persuaded Gu Jinzhi and asked her to write a letter to Zhu Zhongjun. She told Zhu Zhongjun that she was still alive and asked Zhu Zhongjun to come to save her and make peace with the court.

Regardless of whether Zhu Zhongjun comes or not, Empress Li advised Gu Jinzhi to give it a try. Only then will he have a chance.

But Gu Jinzhi didn't write like this.

She copied an ancient poem to Zhu Zhongjun, the poem by his wife accusing her husband of abandoning her.

She wrote very hard: "I go wild and keep my wife away from you, because of my marriage. I'm just saying that I live in my home, but I don't want to live in my family, and I'm going wild and pick my family up. I go wild and pick my friends

Because of the sudden marriage, I say that I stayed there. If I don’t live a beast, I will return to it. I go on the wild, pick my slaughter, don’t think about the old marriage, ask for new talents, and become rich. It’s just because of the difference.

.”

Especially when she wrote the passage of "I don't want to think about my old marriage, I want new things". She was so full of tears that she wet the letter paper...

After writing, she handed it over to Queen Li.

Queen Li slowly breathed a sigh of relief. She read the letter. Such sad sentences, coupled with the mottled tears, may not touch a man's heart.

Queen Li sighed softly.

She took the letter and finally got the emperor's instructions to her.

Empress Li left Kunning Palace with Gu Jinzhi's letter in her arms. She walked slowly. For some reason, she was always worried.

After Empress Li left Jishan Palace, Gu Jinzhi wiped away his tears and went in to serve Empress Tan.

I just cried, my eyes were red and I looked pitiful.

After Empress Dowager Tan woke up, she needed to use Fugui Ruyi Paste, and Gu Jinzhi helped her install a cigarette gun.

When Gu Jinzhi was in the mansion, he was distracted for a moment. Her lips couldn't help but gently tilt, and a slight joy flashed through the corners of his lips. This emotion was very fast, it came quickly, and it was quickly collected.

.

Others did not notice that Aoxue, the female official next to Empress Dowager Tan, saw it.

Aoxue was just a little palace maid in the past because she was very smart and smart, and took good care of Gu Jinzhi. After Gu Jinzhi arrived at Jishan Palace, he wondered if she was the eyeliner that Zhu Zhongjun had arranged in the palace before, otherwise why did this palace maid take care of him everywhere.

she?

Gu Jinzhi doesn't believe that people are born enthusiastic.

Like Gu Jinzhi's identity, whoever treats her well may be implicated. If there is no background, Ao Xue should not pay attention to Gu Jinzhi.

After observing for a while, I found that Ao Xue was indeed defending Gu Jinzhi everywhere. Gu Jinzhi was sure that Ao Xue was really his own person. But Gu Jinzhi didn't dare to ask, for fear that there would be ears between the walls.

After confirming Aoxue's identity, Gu Jinzhi deliberately recommended Aoxue in front of Empress Dowager Tan and asked her to be a female official.

Therefore, in Aoxue's eyes, Gu Jinzhi is the real master.

Gu Jinzhi's seemingly sad appearance, but inadvertently revealed joy was seen by Ao Xue. Ao Xue always pays attention to Gu Jinzhi's words and deeds.

Aoxue was a little surprised.

When Emperor Li later found Gu Jinzhi, Ao Xue was next to him. So, Ao Xue knew what happened, and she felt sad for Gu Jinzhi, so she really couldn't imagine what was the reason why Gu Jinzhi was happy.

Maybe it was an illusion? Ao Xue thought this way and stood by silently, not daring to look at Gu Jinzhi anymore, for fear of attracting Empress Dowager Tan's attention.

Empress Dowager Tan only saw Gu Jinzhi's eyes red, and did not notice Gu Jinzhi's slight pride just now, but just asked Gu Jinzhi: "Okay, have you cried?"

Gu Jinzhi paused slightly.

Her tears surged up again.

She cried and told Empress Dowager Tan what she had just happened: "I am still alive, and he will marry again... The couple has been married for more than ten years, and he doesn't care about me, don't miss me, don't miss me or suffer,

I'm going to marry another..."

After hearing this, Empress Dowager Tan frowned slightly.

The women in this harem have never longed for men and love. Zhu Zhongjun stopped his wife and remarried, and Empress Dowager Tan thought it was too expected, and she didn't think there was anything sad about it.

There are so many miserable women in the world, who has seen the infatuated man?

"From now on, please serve the Ai family with peace of mind." Empress Dowager Tan felt a little annoyed when she heard Gu Jinzhi's words. She didn't like Gu Jinzhi's attitude very much, as if she wouldn't be able to do without a man.

Seeing Gu Jinzhi still crying, Empress Dowager Tan said again: "Don't cry, the Ai family is in bad luck!"

Gu Jinzhi stopped crying.

She was born thin and looked pitiful if she cried. Empress Dowager Tan sighed softly and said, "The King of Luyang rebelled, you were going to be cut into pieces. Your Majesty looked at the Ai family and saved your life!

When the rebels are dispersed, the King of Luyang will be dead. You still miss him. What are the benefits? It would be best if he marrys another person. When the rebels are pacified, the Ai family will also have an excuse to protect you...

...”

The King of Luyang stopped his wife and remarried, which was absolutely no benefit to Gu Jinzhi.

She is no longer the Princess of Luyang. Can she be guaranteed to be named Gu Jin or another, this is not optimistic. The greatest value of her life now is that she can one day restrain the King of Luyang.

Gu Jinzhi has not mentioned it in recent years.

She followed the wishes of Empress Dowager Tan and nodded, "Thank you, Empress Dowager. My life is all about the fulfillment of Empress Dowager."

Only then did Empress Dowager Tan feel a little satisfied and smiled slightly...

Gu Jinzhi accompanied him and served Empress Dowager Tan with Fugui Ruyi Paste.

Queen Mother Tan fell asleep afterwards.

Gu Jinzhi returned to the house, changed his face and dressed, and changed into a clean long coat.

When she washed her face, the warm towel was pressed against her face and she didn't put it down for a long time.

The female official Aoxue followed him to serve Gu Jinzhi.

Seeing that Gu Jinzhi was a little abnormal, she felt even more confused.

Aoxue felt that if Gu Jinzhi was not angry and had an abnormal expression, there was something else.

Why is this happening to her?

Why is she happy?

Ao Xue was sure that Gu Jinzhi was happy.

No matter why Gu Jinzhi was strange, Ao Xue was not ready to say it. She was very protective of Gu Jinzhi.

After washing his face, Gu Jinzhi finally put down his scarf and looked calm.

"Princess. You don't have to be too sad..." Ao Xue thought about it and comforted Gu Jinzhi. "I don't understand the matter outside the palace. Only now that the Queen Mother loves you, you can protect you for a while

Taiping.”

Gu Jinzhi nodded and said, "We can't even control what's happening outside. You're right, I'm not sad." Then, she smiled and pulled Aoxue's hand and said, "For more than a year."

.Thank you for taking care of me!"

Aoxue's face turned red and said, "The princess said this to me. Taking care of you is a matter of my servant. If I hadn't been to the princess' support, I wouldn't know what I was now. I dare not thank you."

"Aoxue, this is what you deserve." Gu Jinzhi said, "No one in this world will help you for no reason. It was because I decided to recommend you to the Empress Dowager because I looked at your intelligence. So, look at it.

, If you weren’t for your own success, what’s the use of me to support me? Ability is a skill, and kindness is a kindness.”

Aoxue lowered her head and said yes.

"...Aoxue, although I've been in the palace in the past few years, there are always people following me when I go out and go, and I don't dare to inquire about anything." Gu Jinzhi lowered his voice, "I lived in the cold palace first, except to go to the imperial garden.

The medicine garden is not allowed to go too much; in this Jishan Palace, you should be careful every step. I am a doctor, and the phoenix body of the Empress Dowager is getting worse day by day. If we want to survive, we cannot rely solely on the Empress Dowager. Aoxue, you are

There have been years in the palace, how about the queen?”

****

Ao Xue's heart moved slightly after hearing Gu Jinzhi's words.

The Queen Mother's body is not very good...

Aoxue's mind was full of this sentence, like an echo of the empty valley, unable to stop.

If the Empress Dowager is in trouble, what should the princess do?

Will Your Majesty want to kill the princess?

Aoxue was stunned.

Her lips changed a little, and she looked back at Gu Jinzhi. After a while, Ao Xue came back to her senses and lowered her voice and said, "Princess, what should you do if the Queen Mother's body is incompatible?"

Now it is Empress Dowager Tan who protects Gu Jinzhi.

Once Empress Dowager Tan has something to do, what should the princess do? This is Aoxue's first idea.

"Let's join the queen!" Gu Jin's way.

She said we.

Aoxue's eyes were hot and she almost burst into tears. She didn't care about her future. Even if the empress dowager passed away, Aoxue was just a palace maid who was in danger of her life, but the princess...

"... Do you think the queen is reliable?" Gu Jinzhi saw Ao Xue silent and asked again, "She has no son. I used to be the name of Xinglin Holy Hand. I used to give birth to a prince as bait.

Have you caught her?"

Aoxue's eyes trembled a little.

Isn't this too risky? If you are eager for quick success and instant benefits, it will be more cost-effective.

Aoxue didn't dare to pour cold water on it. The current princess of Luyang needs hope the most, Aoxue can only say something to encourage her.

After a moment of silence, Ao Xue calmed down and said, "Your Majesty already has five princes, but none of them are from the queen. Last month, another one was added, a total of six princes. Princess, if you want to use this as a

If you go to serve the Queen, you will surely achieve your wishes."

Aoxue felt that the queen must have a son very much.

But you have to have skills to do it. Asking rashly will annoy the queen.

Aoxue was uneasy. She always felt that the Princess Luyang took another dangerous move.

"Empress, how is she a human being?" Gu Jinzhi asked again.

Aoxue has been in the palace for quite a long time. She entered the palace at the age of twelve and has been doing some chores in Jishan Palace. It has been almost nine years since she counted. She is not like Gu Jinzhi, and her whereabouts are under surveillance, so she must know

Some rumors.

For example, the queen's character is, the palace maids and eunuchs dare not say it openly, and they will definitely mutter in private.

Where there are people, there is gossip.

"When the Empress Dowager was alive, he loved the Empress the most." Ao Xue whispered, "I heard that the Empress Dowager praised the Empress for his virtuous and gentleness many times, and his personality is similar to you, Princess..."

Gu Jinzhi was stunned.

She thought that the Empress Dowager had passed away for four years.

At that time, she was still in the imperial prison and had no chance to kowtow to the Empress Dowager.

Now, although he is not in prison, his movements are restricted and he is unable to show incense to the Empress Dowager. Thinking of the love and trust of the Empress Dowager when he was alive, Gu Jinzhi's eyes are a little astringent.

The Empress Dowager has too much favor to Gu Jinzhi. She is Gu Jinzhi's mother-in-law, but she is the same as the mother and daughter as Gu Jinzhi. Thinking of the Empress Dowager's love for her and thinking of not fulfilling her filial piety for a day, Gu

Jinzhi's heart shrank into a ball.

Then I thought again, if the Empress Dowager was still alive, I saw Zhu Zhongjun's actions today, and knew that Gu Jinzhi and Zhu Zhongjun had already planned to rebel, and even thought that they might use the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager would be discouraged.

It's right.

It’s good to leave, there’s less sadness and disappointment, and less hardship.

Gu Jinyi's heart suddenly turned around and sighed softly.

"Princess..." Ao Xue thought she said the wrong thing, and her tone became uneasy.

Gu Jinzhi came back to his senses and smiled and said, "I'm fine. Just as you said, the queen is a person who can be entrusted."

Aoxue did not answer or deny it.

People's hearts are unpredictable.

Aoxue has never served in Kunning Palace again, so how could she know the queen's true nature? In this harem, who can't pretend to be virtuous? But in private, she had to get close to her in person to know.

And Aoxue is not qualified to be close to the queen.

Therefore, Aoxue didn't know if Queen Li had to entrust her.

"...Aoxue, if I could get the queen's trust, I would not forget you." Gu Jinzhi said again.

Aoxue smiled bitterly and said, "If you can protect yourself, Aoxue will have nothing to worry about!"

Gu Jinzhi nodded and smiled and said, "Treat me well, I will always remember it in my heart."

In the following time, Gu Jinzhi felt much better.

In the past, before Ao Xue showed up, there was a palace maid named Shui Lan in Jishan Palace. She was not very good to Gu Jinzhi in front of others. But in private, she helped Gu Jinzhi everywhere. She was one of the eyeliners Zhu Zhongjun stayed in Beijing.

, not eradicated.

She probably passed the news about Gu Jinzhi to Zhu Zhongjun.

But two months ago, Shui Lan suddenly disappeared.

Gu Jinzhi was also panicked at that time.

Zhu Zhongjun outside must have been very anxious.

He was so careful that he did not dare to let Shui Lan pass a word to Gu Jinzhi, just because he was alert to considering Gu Jinzhi, for fear of making mistakes, and there would be no news about Gu Jinzhi from then on. (To be continued.
