”Empress.” Sui Gu anxiously called out again.
”Yes.” ”Sui Gu is completely innocent. She was originally just a peasant girl like me, but for the sake of having someone to take care of me on the way, she chose to stay by my side, accompanying me all the way until now. All she has done was listen to Master's words. If possible, please let her live. ”
Gao Lang immediately nodded: ”Okay, I agree.”
After he finished speaking, Gao Lang stood up and left. The Empress Dowager Gao sat down on the ground and watched as the Prince Yao walked out of the hall.
As the Prince Yao and Jin Xiaolou left the hall, the doors closed behind them. When the last ray of light disappeared into the hall and darkness enveloped the Empress Dowager Gao once more, Sui Gu fell to her knees, hugging her feet. ”Esteemed Empress Dowager, what are you doing! There's still a lot of time in the future, and we haven't lost yet. Why would you say such things to Prince Yao?! ”
Empress Dowager Gao lowered her head, and laughed, a tear flowed down her face: ”Sui Gu, I have nowhere else to go, what old friend? One wrong step, one wrong step, I have no more future.”
That evening, the news of the sudden death of the Empress Dowager Gao of the Left Fortune Palace spread throughout the capital.
The Empress Dowager Gao's personal maid, Sui Gu, was originally sent back to the countryside to spend her later years in exile under the Emperor's amnesty. However, this little palace maid, who would have thought that she would actually have such a strong personality?
Within the Rainbow Garden, Jin Xiaolou held Gao Lang's hand: ”Bury her in your mother's name, do you think it's safe?”
Gao Lang heaved a sigh of relief, bent down and leaned his head against Jin Xiaolou's chest.
He felt extremely tired, and only by leaning on Jin Xiaolou's body could he get a moment's peace and comfort.
After a long time, he finally opened his mouth, ”I went to the Tzu En Temple to ask Master Yuan Yi. He said that he had told Grandfather that the one to send him away was his eldest daughter, Gao Jia.”
”What?” Jin Xiaolou was shocked.
Gao Lang continued to speak softly, ”Even though our eldest daughter is a lucky star, a calamity came about because of luck. If we were to send our eldest daughter away, then our Gao Family would lose its original source of fortune, and wouldn't result in a clan extermination disaster.”
”My grandfather didn't want to lose his lucky star, so he resented the Bane, and decided on his own to send the Bane far away, hoping that my little girl Gao Ying would never ever return to the capital. As long as she doesn't return to the capital, she won't have anything to do with Gao Family, and even more so, won't cause any trouble for Gao Family.”
”Grandfather did something wrong, and Gao Ying did something that she shouldn't have done for my mother. Let's end this matter here.”
Jin Xiaolou nodded. That night, the two of them carried a child on each side, and three out of the family slept soundly and peacefully, except for Jin Xiaolou. There was a warm lover by her pillow and a soft child in her embrace.
Her Sier had also distanced herself far away from her. She really did not know if this was the fate of their people from Gao Family, or if it was just a coincidence.
I wonder if Sier, who was born into this world, will also turn around and blame her when she finds out about my background …
After the failure of the Prince Xian's seizure of power, he had been imprisoned in the Supreme Court, guarded by the Supreme Court's Young Official, Bai Ruyi.
No one dared to speak carelessly about what had happened in the imperial court. However, when the Prince Yao and his troops had entered the city that day, the ruckus in the palace was heard by almost everyone in the capital city.
That day, the Prince Xian was locked up and the empress dowager handed over the Imperial Jade Seal. That was why the people of the capital were able to guess the details even though they didn't know what had happened.
These words naturally also entered Fu Niang's ears.
Taking advantage of the deep night, took out a pair of completely black clothes from the bottom of the box, covered his face with a handkerchief, and pushed open the door, walking through the courtyard towards the small corner of the door.
