Although the Zuo Fu Palace was not a cold palace, because of its remote location, no one dared to enter Grand Concubine Wei's palace after she died of consumption. It had been empty for several years. The house was in ruins and had not been repaired for a long time. Even the cold palace was inferior to it.
Madam Gao only felt her body go limp, her legs as soft as dough. Her knees bent as she sat down on a cushion on a wooden chair.
His body pressed down and the room was filled with dust.
Sui Gu hurried forward. ”Esteemed Empress Dowager, be careful. Please wait for this servant to sweep your ashes before sitting down.”
As he spoke, he raised his hand to sweep away the dust in the room and then hurriedly went to fetch water to sprinkle on the floor. This room had been closed for too long and was stuffy and dirty. How could a servant live here?
Even Sui Gu found it hard to endure, much less the empress dowager.
However, Lady Gao waved her hand. ”Forget it, what kind of house have we not lived in before? In a few days I'm afraid I'll be even worse than I was before. ”
At the mention of the past, Gau let out a long sigh. Her eyes narrowed slightly as she looked at the floating specks of dust in the sunlight. He felt that his life was like this dust, moving up and down, unable to be at peace. He thought that he could control Zhao Yu and tighten the Imperial Jade Seal to cover the sky with one hand, allowing her to do whatever she wanted with one hand.
However, after this experience, the Gao Clan also understood from the bottom of their hearts that they were not the type of person to rule the world. Back then, when the previous emperor approved the papers and pointed to the lands, it seemed to be very easy.
Lady Gao closed her eyes. The light caused her eyelids to turn blood-red, and made her think of the myriad of peach blossoms on her Yao Xi. Such a gorgeous, beautiful peach flower had not been seen since she left the Yao Xi sixteen years ago.
She hated everything about Yao Xi, but she had missed the peach blossoms of Yao Xi all night long. She felt that the peach blossoms were like her;
When she thought it through the most important part, she even called over the female official from the clothing department. Despite her persuasion that the peach blossoms would only blossom but not bear fruit and had a bad effect, she still ordered the female official to sew the Yao Xi peach blossoms onto the sleeves of her skirt.
Seeing the empress dowager's dazed look, Sui Gu's heart ached. ”Esteemed empress dowager, don't be discouraged. This is only a temporary situation.
”We can leave it as it is. This servant sees that Prince Yao is someone who cares about his reputation, and will definitely not take his place as the emperor.” As long as the position of the empress dowager remains, the empress dowager will always be the empress dowager. No matter how bold the Prince Yao is, he won't dare to accuse the empress dowager of being disloyal and unfilial.
”If worst comes to worst, we have no power and no power. Empress, on the contrary, we're happy to relax and enjoy ourselves in the imperial court. Isn't that good enough?”
Mrs. Gao shook her head, ”He dares. He personally witnessed his mother's death, and he still managed to think of a way to keep his life by pretending to be stupid at such a young age. It's also me who underestimated him. ”
”We've already lost. We're just waiting for him to come.” ”Sui Gu, I have lived days that I did not even dare to dream of in the past. I should be satisfied, but … But when I think of the man in front of me, I feel indignant. Why? What right do you have to treat me like this? ”
Jin Xiaolou followed behind Gao Lang, went around the east side of the road and headed towards the Left Fortune Palace.
The trees and grasses of the Zufu Temple grew lush and dense, but the plum trees had long since withered away. Several sparrows perched on the plum branches flew into the sky as they flapped their wings when they heard someone coming.
Just as she walked to the entrance of the palace, Jin Xiaolou heard a burst of miserable screams coming from inside the palace. Gao Lang stopped in her tracks, stroked Jin Xiaolou's shoulders, and after seeing him nod her head, she walked in.
Gao Lang only brought Jin Xiaolou here alone. He wanted to come here to uncover his secret, but he was also talking about the secret of the current Empress Dowager.
Even the secret of the late emperor.
As she walked in, Sui Gu turned to look at the two women. They were much more beautiful than before.
Seeing that it was Gao Lang and Jin Xiaolou, both of them were not surprised. Empress Dowager Gao even calmed down and said: ”You have finally arrived.”
