Chapter 96
“…”
The system said that the information left by the No. 001 system shows that Gu Manru took revenge only after learning that his child died at the hands of Emperor Wucheng.
In his previous life, the reason why Gu Manru was cut off and imprisoned by You Fengkun Palace was because Emperor Wucheng discovered that she was poisoned. But at that time, the rise and fall of the Gu family had been tied to Qin Rong, who became the prince, and it was a tangle, which moved the whole body, so Emperor Wucheng concealed this matter.
In fact, the person who really killed Gu Manru was not Rou Concubine, but Emperor Wucheng, who could not do it himself. The death of Emperor Wucheng in the later period was not Kong Wei and other princes. Kill Emperor Wucheng, but in fact, Emperor Wucheng discovered that Gu Man had poisoned him and his body had been eroded by poison. The last blow from Kong Wei gave him, which made him vomit blood and die.
It can be said that every truth mentioned by the system is a turbulent palace fighting drama. However, Yingying, who was the central figure in her previous life, felt confused after hearing all the truth.
"This, is this really the Northern Region Imperial Palace that I was familiar with in my previous life?" After returning to the Eastern Palace, Yingying saw that Qin Rong had not returned and locked him in her bedroom.
The system hummed: [You are protected by the Gu family and Qinrong so well. In the past life, you will not fall into such a field.]
Yingying was trained by the system so hard that she didn't say a word. In fact, it was right. If she hadn't just cared about herself at that time, the people around her would not have died tragically.
"What should I do now?" Yingying must reverse the defeat in her previous life this time.
In her impression, Emperor Wucheng was unfathomable and not gentle, but he never made things difficult for her to hate her. Yingying never thought that Emperor Wucheng could do something like assassinating his wife and children. She hesitated and said: "Your Majesty was right to kill my aunt and children before. Is it wrong for my aunt to take revenge on him?"
The system lightly fluttered and thundered out: [However, the information shows that your aunt's child is not dead.]
"What?!"
Yingying was shocked. At this time, the closed door was suddenly pushed open. Qin Rong put his hand on the door frame. He heard Yingying's exclamation and stopped in place, looking for reputation: "What's wrong with Yingying?"
Yingying was caught and her eyes met Qin Rong. She hurriedly pointed at the two kittens in the corner and said calmly: "It's okay, Yingying is talking to Xiaobao Abei."
Qin Rong glanced indifferently and saw two cats in the corner huddled together, snoring and sleeping.
Fearing that Qin Rong had discovered something, Yingying ran to him a few steps. Seeing that he was still wearing a golden court uniform, she said in confusion: "Did the third brother just come back?"
When he got closer, he saw that You Yang and Zuo Zhu were still following him in black clothes. They stood with swords in their arms. Qin Rong responded lightly and told them to "Have a wait outside the door."
He patted Yingying's hand lightly, Qin Rong walked towards the inner room. Yingying followed him closely. Seeing Qin Rong take off her court clothes and change into a simple snow robe, she exclaimed and walked up to help him sort it out: "Is the third brother going to leave the palace?"
"I have to go out if I have something to do." Qin Rong's black hair was half a bunch of her hair, and raised her hand to pick up the wide soft fur on the screen and cover her body.
Yingying was tying the belt around him. When she was hugging Qin Rong's waist, she was just covered by his cloak. She simply hugged Qin Rong's waist and rubbed him with her head in her mouth, and asked softly: "I'm going to leave the palace so late, so the third brother must come back soon."
Qin Rong comforted Shun Yingying's black hair, looked out the door and said, "The third brother won't come back tonight."
At this time, the system whispered: [Host, I had just had time to tell you that your aunt had already started to poison Emperor Wucheng.]
When Yingying triggered a new task that was stuck, Gu Manru had already begun to change his fate according to the influence of the spirit fragments. During this period, the spirit will not stop running due to the disappearance of the system. The task line that the system just mentioned just now refers to what Gu Manru did under the influence of the spirit.
Now, Gu Manru, who learned the truth about his child's death, has taken action. Before being imprisoned, she would feed poison in Wuchengdi Decoction from time to time. Although it was chronic. poison. The medicine was slow to work, Emperor Wuchengdi was worried about the matter between the northwest and the south, and the poison had already had an impact on him.
"What are Yingying thinking?" Yingying's long-term daze made Qin Rong notice.
The small chin was lifted by the warm fingertips. Qin Rong lowered her eyes and pulled the two closer together, and said with Yingying: "The third brother is not here, Yingying remember to be good."
Yingying came back to her senses. At this moment, the system seemed to be deliberately not letting her have a good time, and said weakly: [I just detected that Gu Man will have abnormal movements tonight. While Qin Rong is away, the host can visit Fengkun Palace at night tonight.]
Yingying: "..."
There was a itchy and numb touch on his lips. Yingying didn't dare to look up at Qin Rong when she felt guilty. She hugged his neck and kissed him on his thin lips, and promised softly: "Yingying must be good."
She would definitely come back before Qin Rong returned to the palace.
It was probably really in a hurry. Qin Rong hadn't stayed in the bedroom for too long. When he left, the sky outside was completely dark. Yingying sighed quietly at the lanterns that were lit on the corridor, and she was filled with mixed emotions.
"System, you will harm me as soon as you come back. Do you know how many secret guards in the East Palace are? If they catch me, it will be done."
Yingying didn't want to be locked up by Qin Rong again, it just was related to her aunt's safety. In addition, it involved Emperor Wu Cheng, so she had to take the risk.
“…”
Late at night, lanterns were burning in the East Palace every few steps, and only the guards of the East Palace were patrolling their duties.
The candlelight shook when the wind passed, and a figure flashed quickly and in the dark. Yingying quickly climbed over the wall in a night-mounted dress and breathed a sigh of relief when she jumped to the dark corner.
"It's a surprise, I finally figured it out." Yingying was so scared that she patted her heart.
Last time, because she took a small path to the stone chamber of the East Palace, Qin Rong ordered Youyang to add more secret guards in every corner of the East Palace. Although the East Palace seems to be even more strict, Yingying has lived here for so long. In order to slip out of the East Palace in her previous life, she can clearly see every route of the East Palace.
After coming out of the East Palace, Yingying rushed towards Fengkun Palace. According to the system's instructions, she lurked to Gu Manru's bedroom and saw Gu Manru lying on the beauty couch in the outer hall. She walked in and entered the wardrobe in the corner of the inner room.
despair--
A slight sound came, and Yingying kowtowed to the point because she was too quick.
Gu Manru, who closed her eyes, opened her eyes because of this voice. She supported herself and looked into the inner room. When she frowned, Yun Xin pushed the door in. She whispered: "It's getting late, I'll wait for the empress to wash and fall asleep."
Gu Manru retracted his gaze and rubbed his forehead, responding tiredly.
Indoor, Yingying covered her mouth so scared that she didn't dare to breathe. She played hide-and-seek in Fengkun Palace as a child. She knew very well that there were clothes hangers in the corner of her aunt's bedroom and there was no lot of clothes inside, so she could easily hide herself.
After not dating for many years, Yingying felt that this wardrobe was much smaller, and the system was quietly dismantled: "Host, during this time when I was not here, have you been fed by Qin Rong?"
Yingying subconsciously touched her arm that had grown some flesh, and refused to admit it, "I fell off the cliff and got sick, and I've obviously lost weight."
The system was too lazy to argue with her, so she simply ignored her.
Time passed by little by little, and then there was only a rustling sound in the room. After a long time, Gu Manru slowly walked into the inner room in bedcloth. She stopped by the table and ordered Yun Xin behind her: "You go down first."
"Without the order of this palace, no one is allowed to approach the bedroom half a step."
Yun Xin seemed to have been used to such orders. She took the order without changing her face and closed the door lightly.
Soon, the house became quiet again. After Yun Xin left, Gu Manru stood by the table but did not move for a long time. Yingying waited for a while, and saw that there was no movement in the house for a long time. She carefully lay down in the crack of the door and looked out. Seeing Gu Manru's bedding mopping the floor and her ink hair was dispersed, she looked at Zhuhuo with expressionless expression on her face.
Winter roars came from time to time on the night of winter, and the cold wind spreads into the room through the gaps.
Yingying was used to seeing her gentle and gentle aunt, but she had never seen her cold and silent appearance. Looking at her at this moment, Yingying realized how hard her aunt was when she treated her during the day. It turned out that years of life in the harem turned the bright and smiling person in the past into this way.
call--
The cold wind passed by for no reason, and in just a blink of an eye, the candlelight in the room suddenly disappeared.
[Here.] The system reminds Yingying.
Yingying cheered up and saw a dark shadow vaguely entering the window through the crack of the door. She gently raised her arm and controlled her breathing to cover her mouth and nose.
"Didn't I tell you not to come again?" The cold voice lowered, and Gu Manru was unmoved when he saw the black shadow appear.
The black shadow stopped after Gu Manru took a few steps, and he sighed, and the deep voice came out that it was obviously a man: "I don't want to worry about you."
"Empress, you're too impatient." The man reminded: "The man has been feeling unwell these days. If I hadn't bribed the imperial doctor in advance, he would have noticed something."
Gu Manru was silent for a moment, and she asked hoarsely: "What do you want to do with me? Just watch him sit on the dragon throne and live happily?"
Wanting to calm down but making me even more excited, Gu Manru closed his eyes and spoke again: "Boyuan, do you know that if I close my eyes these days, I can dream of my dead child. She is crying and crying for pain. It's useless that I can't protect her."
As he said that, Gu Manru covered his cheeks, his voice even more swallowing as if he was crying.
The man named Boyuan walked forward two steps. He hesitated for a moment and hugged Gu Manru with his arms, comforted him and said, "If I had known, I wouldn't have told you about these things that day, so you would..."
"No, you should tell me!"
Before Boyuan finished speaking, he was interrupted by Gu Manru, who tightly grabbed Boyuan's clothes and said, "If you don't say it, how could I know how unfair my child died? If you don't say it, how could I know that Min Hua resigned from office and was killed in the wilderness by him!"
"Why did he do this? Why did he do this? It was just because he heard someone say something about me and Min Hua? But shouldn't he know about my affair with Min Hua for a long time? If he really cared about it, why would he make me the queen!"
Yingying held her breath and listened to the conversation between the two, feeling uncomfortable for her aunt's crying.
What else can Gu Manru’s questions be because of these? Boyuan answered her truthfully: “He made you the queen just because you are the legitimate daughter of Gu and Gu Mingzhi’s sister.”
"Ru'er, I used to think you fell in love with him, so I never dare to tell you these words. Now that you say you don't love him, I will tell you all these words. I will stand on your side of whatever you want."
"It's just that you listen to my advice and don't just act on your own. If you really want to avenge your children and Min Hua, let me do it for you, but don't... get yourself into danger."
Yingying only felt that this was strange when she heard it. The more she thought about it, the more she became, the more she became, the more she was wrong.
Thinking of the previous conversation between the two, she could hear that the man named Boyuan should be an important minister in the court, and soon she realized—
Is Boyuan trying to kill the regicide?
Yingying's mind was very quick at this moment. Thinking of the chaos in her previous life, she guessed that the man named Boyuan was probably Prime Minister Kong Wei. If it was really him, it would be more than just a regicide. Kong Wei was going to rebel!
"You don't need to do it for me. I will avenge myself!" Gu Manru also heard Boyuan's unexpected words, so she refused without hesitation.
The two of them had a bad conversation that night. Gu Manru insisted on his own, and Boyuan was helpless in persuading him. After a while, Gu Manru began to rush Boyuan to leave. After everyone left, she began to stand by the window in a daze. Yingying calculated the time and was a little anxious. After all, it was not a certainty when Qin Rong would come back.
"Auntie, hurry up and go to the bed to rest." Yingying urged in her heart, looking at Gu Manru's figure through the crack of the door was a little anxious.
Gu Manru naturally couldn't hear Yingying's voice. She stared blankly at a place where she was in a daze until she stood until her legs were sore and stiff all over, and then she slowly walked onto the bed.
As the curtains hang down, Yingying breathed a sigh of relief. She waited patiently for a while. When Gu Manru was almost asleep, she gently opened the closet and opened the window and escaped...
The winter night is long, but fortunately, it was not yet dawn when Yingying escaped from Fengkun Palace.
When she escaped from Fengkun Palace, she faintly noticed the fire in front of her, hiding in the corner and did not dare to move around. Soon she heard neat footsteps approaching. The leading guard scolded: "Search it for me, the assassin is injured and must be still here!"
... Could it be that Boyuan was discovered?
Yingying looked around and saw that the road leading to the Eastern Palace was full of guards. She covered her face with headaches. Fortunately, in her previous life, she quickly chose another opposite road in order to sneak out of the Northern Palace.
"Look, eating, drinking and having fun in my previous life was useless. If I hadn't been very playful at that time, I would have been caught as a scapegoat."
The system can't say a good thing, it is pouring cold water: [You have the ability to do it every time you were caught by Qin Rong in your previous life, don't cry and shout about the prince brother, I'm wrong.]
Yingying was choked by the system and was about to speak back, but the system suddenly reminded her quickly: [Host be careful! There is a breath of Qin Rong in front of her.]
Yingying didn't have time to stop, she sneered and pretended to be a system to play tricks on her: "You think I'm so stupid-"
The last byte was not spit out, and Yingying was almost hidden in the bushes.
On the palace road with a red carpet not far away, two rows of servants stood brightly lit. Qin Rong should have just returned from outside. He was wearing the soft fur of the snow robe and fur when he left, leaning against the small chariot and supporting his forehead.
I don't know what happened, but Xiao Yan stopped on the road and did not move. Qin Rong glanced at the imperial guards kneeling in front of him, and said in a voice: "The assassin traveled freely in the palace. If he hadn't been met by the lonely person today, would you pass by without any trouble?"
The Imperial Guard knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and said in a trembling voice: "I know my crime!"
Yingying was not far away, and she quickly heard the causes and consequences clearly. I thought that Boyuanding met Qin Rong who returned to the palace when he left, so he was discovered by the Imperial Guards.
"You don't have to disturb Your Majesty this matter. You can't find anyone to come to see the orphan tomorrow."
