Chapter 368 Pit Toffee (two more)
”Who is this silly boy?”
Queen Mother Zhuang asked casually.
Gu Chengfeng realized that the Queen Mother had also come, standing behind Gu Jiao.
Gu Chengfeng and Queen Mother Zhuang had a two-sided bond, once in Bishui Hutong, and the other time when he and Gu Jiao were chased by Tang Ming near the imperial palace.
Queen mother Zhuang “slashed” them as assassins, which made Tang Ming feel relieved ever since.
I want to say that the inspiration for being killed pretending to be an assassin came from the Queen Mother.
That time Gu Chengfeng wore a mask, so Queen Mother Zhuang did not recognize him as Gu Jiao’s ”friend” that night.
While Gu Chengfeng's face was full of mud at this time, the Queen Mother Zhuang did not recognize him as Gu Chengfeng.
But in the next second, Queen Mother Zhuang guessed something: ”Oh, the one at the Marshal's Mansion.”
Are the eyes so poisonous?
Can this be guessed too?
Obviously, his voice has changed!
If the empress dowager Zhuang doesn’t even have the ability, it would be nothing to do in the harem of the court for so many years. She glanced at Gu Chengfeng indifferently: ”What is the relationship between you and Jiaojiao?”
How do you think this is a proposition?
Gu Chengfeng looked at Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiao broke her hands and watched with folded arms.
what! This girl, throw it away when you use it up! What a shame!
”Enlighten the Queen Mother.” He stood up and bowed his hands in a salute, ”Cao Min Gu Chengfeng, I have seen the Queen Mother.”
”Oh.”
Brother Jiaojiao, not wild flowers and weeds.
Don’t bother her to hold her grandson.
Then Queen Mother Zhuang left without asking why Gu Chengfeng learned martial arts and why he entered Gong Yunyun.
It made Gu Chengfeng a little dazed: ”...The queen mother's temperament is still, quite unique.”
Duke Qin’s **** really made them stunned. The **** was hard, and it was okay. It was just a little frightened and shrank in the shell all afternoon.
Gu Jiao dealt with Gu Chengfeng's shoulder injury and asked him for one thousand taels of silver, which was called the consultation fee.
Gu Chengfeng who hasn't gotten a thousand taels of silver notes: ”...”
Gu Chengfeng looked at her with a headache: ”In other words, you would rather give up the imperial decree and rescue me from Long Yingwei. Wouldn't it be the one thousand taels of silver ticket, right?”
After all, if he dies, the body will definitely be disposed of, and she won’t be able to get the bank notes.
How could Gu Jiao look like this!
Gu Chengfeng understood, he was a little moved in his heart, this girl turned out to be a little conscientious, she didn't just know how to squeeze him.
Gu Jiao analyzed seriously: ”If you die, I will lose one thousand taels, but if you live, you can earn me more than one thousand taels! As for the imperial edict, aren't you the number one thief? Go steal it next time. Come back!”
Gu Chengfeng: ”……”
So why should he be moved?
The two had lunch in Renshou Palace of Empress Dowager Zhuang.
Gu Chengfeng couldn’t think of Queen Mother Zhuang as an ordinary aunt. She ate a meal with extreme restraint, but Gu Jiao kept talking, her cheeks were stuffed, which reminded me of the little one he had caught in the back mountain. Fat squirrel.
In the hall, Jing Taifei waited quietly while knocking on the wooden fish and chanting sutras.
However, she didn't wait for the news of Mother Cai to catch the assassin. Instead, she waited for the sad news that Mother Cai was detained and interrogated by the emperor.
”The Toffee Empress.” The little nun who reported to her knelt behind her and looked at her nervously, ”What to do? Mother Cai was taken away... Why did your Majesty arrest Mother Cai? Mother Cai is not us. Are you from the Nunnery? Your Majesty is not...”
The little nun said a series of grievances in one breath, and she shed tears in the end.
The palace has always been unable to hide things, and one thing can be said to be ten-eighth-eight.
There is no need to spread anything in Renshou Palace. The arrest of Madam Cai is enough to make people guess whether the relationship between Jing Taifei and the emperor is really strained.
”Tapas, let’s go and intercede with your majesty, please let your majesty Cai go... Madam Cai is getting older... I can’t bear the pain...”
The little nun has not been in the palace for a long time, but she has not rarely heard of the torture in the palace where life is worse than death. She was arrested and interrogated. No matter whether she was able to get something out of the trial or not, she was at least skinny.
She is worried.
She is also scared.
I was afraid that this big **** would collapse and crush her who was in the building to death.
Night fell, the hall was silent, and the sobbing of the little nun gradually melted into the night.
Tsao Jing did nothing. She didn't even send anyone to inquire about the news of Madam Cai. She just sat quietly in the Buddhist hall with her hands folded, as if she was worshipping the Buddha religiously, or as if she was just sitting withered.
The little nun finally couldn't stand it anymore. She had only heard of the cruelty of the palace, but had not personally experienced it.
She choked and ran to Huaqing Palace.
”Let me see your Majesty! The empress dowager hasn't eaten or drink all day... if this goes on... if this goes on... she will get sick...”
She cried very loudly.
This is a taboo in the palace.
She didn't know how lucky she was, and she was not dragged down by the rules of the palace.
”What is arguing outside?” The emperor put down the zipper in his hand and pinched his eyebrows and asked.
Wei Gonggong whispered: ”It's the little teacher next to the concubine empress, saying it is... the concubine empress has not eaten all day.”
The emperor frowned.
Gonggong Wei inspected his words and said: ”Your Majesty, do you want to see if you are a slave?”
The emperor opened his mouth.
He hesitated unexpectedly, for a moment he wanted to nod.
Then he was frightened by his own thoughts. In the past, when he heard the news of Concubine Jing’s mother, he would immediately put aside his official duties and visit her, but now that she hasn’t been dripping in all day, he is not so worried.
He shouldn't be like this.
He closed his eyes and said, ”I will go to the temple.”
Duke Wei: ”Yes.”
The emperor did not sit in a sedan chair, but walked over with Wei Gonggong himself.
Quiet Toffee Xijing, so the site was very remote at that time, and because of the rush to use it overnight, the building itself was not large.
Was engulfed by the night now, and it becomes more and more insignificant.
The little nun saw the emperor coming, and she was surprised: ”Your Majesty--”
The emperor didn't look at her, only slightly raised his hand.
The little nun was instantly shocked by the threat of the real dragon.
The lamp in the Buddhist hall was on, and a lonely figure throbbed on the window paper, and the emperor stepped over.
In the deserted Buddhist hall, Concubine Jing was sitting on the ground alone. She tried to straighten her back, but it seemed that she couldn't survive the passing of time and the passing of years. Her body had a trace of depression in her twilight years.
