Chapter 4
Zhou Yun returned to Chuxiu Palace when the night was thick.
Concubine Zhen specially ordered someone to carry Zhou Yun back with her ceremonial guard. As soon as the ceremonial guard left, Fuling walked in with a bad expression and said something to Princess Zhen's ear.
Suddenly, Concubine Zhen frowned slightly. She hesitated for a long time before slowly shook her head.
Zhou Yun didn't know what happened in Jujiao Palace. When she returned to Chuxiu Palace, she saw the little palace maid who served her room waiting anxiously at the palace gate.
She was a little puzzled: "Why are you waiting here?"
When the little palace maid saw her, she hurried over: "Master Zhou, you are back! Go in and take a look. Something happened to Master Gu!"
Zhou Yun's face suddenly changed. Regardless of the injuries on her feet, she immediately pushed the door and went in.
The noise in the yard suddenly stopped, and everyone turned their heads to look at the door. Several people's faces changed slightly. Gu Yan was surrounded in the middle. When she saw her, her eyes were slightly brighter, and then dimmed.
Zhou Yun looked at the scene in front of him and almost became angry for a moment.
She didn't expect that after she went out for a while, something would happen.
Zhou Yun looked up and saw that the door of the room where she lived was open and her bed was scattered. If it were just like that, she might not be so angry during the talent show.
However, Zhou Yun looked at Gu Yan and shouted in confusion: "Sister Gu?"
Gu Yan barely curled the corner of her lower lip, and then shook her head without a trace.
I signaled her not to worry about this matter.
Zhou Yun just thought that he didn't see it. Just now, the little palace maid had already told her about what had happened. Zhang Huashang lost a jade bracelet and finally found it from Sister Gu.
Some people said that they saw Sister Gu picking up a jade bracelet from her bed.
But Sister Gu denied it.
Zhou Yun believed in that person.
Otherwise, how could the bed that was overturned in a mess, be hers?
What's more, Sister Zhou, as the legitimate granddaughter of the Duke's Mansion, has seen more than a few good things, so would she be greedy for Zhang's broken bracelet?
If she let this go, Sister Gu would definitely leave the palace with the charge of theft.
It’s nothing wrong with losing the election, but if Sister Gu is charged with theft from the palace, she will be ruined for the rest of her life.
At this time, Zhou Yun heard Zhang Huashang say slowly: "If this jade bracelet is mine and Miss Gu likes it, I will not say anything else to Miss Gu. But this was just rewarded by the Queen a few days ago, so it would be hard to make a decision."
Zhou Yun pursed his lips. Once several masters in the palace were involved, it would be difficult to argue about this matter.
"Sister Gu would be greedy for you for a bracelet? Is it so ruinous to be the Duke's Mansion?"
When Zhang Huashang heard the words of Duke's Mansion, his eyes flashed lightly. Then she shook her head and said, "Miss Zhou, don't use Duke's Mansion to suppress me. I don't want to make things difficult for Miss Gu, but the jade bracelet was found from Miss Gu, and all the evidences were there. Miss Zhou's words were a bit bullying."
As soon as she finished speaking, someone interrupted: "The Duke's Mansion is rich and noble, but..."
Before he finished speaking, the man covered his lips, and a little disdain was slashed between his eyebrows and eyes.
This sentence is like a sharp blade, directly inserted into Gu Yan's heart, and it is fatal.
In an instant, the blood on her face was lost, her body trembled slightly, and she turned her head away unbearably.
At this moment, Zhou Yun felt extremely distressed. Since two years ago, Lord Gu and his wife died, Gu Erye became the prince, Gu Yan was in the mansion, and the situation in the capital had plummeted.
Everyone who once respected Gu Yan can now despise her with verbal verbal words.
Two years ago, Sister Gu protected her everywhere, and now, she can't stand Sister Gu's grievances. She looked at the person who spoke with harshness:
"Mr. Gu and his wife died for the country. His only daughter is bullied by you. When I go to my aunt's palace tomorrow, if I see the emperor, I will report Miss Yang's words to the holy ears!"
Yang Yun's face turned pale and quickly put her on Zhou Yun's body: "What is Sister Zhou saying? I respect Lord Gu in my heart. How could I bully Miss Gu? Sister Zhou should not misunderstand it."
Having said that, she secretly hated Zhou Yun for being able to bully others by relying on her power.
He once relied on Gu Yan's power to enter the palace. He relied on her aunt as the concubine, and was unforgivable to deal with her everywhere.
Zhou Yun held Gu Yan and immediately noticed the fine sweat in her palms. Her eyes were slightly wet. He knew that even if she moved out of her aunt, she would not be able to help Sister Gu today.
Zhang Huashang's words of personal evidence were all present, and she could not justify it. No matter how much she said, she might be confirmed as a charge of bullying others with power.
She pinched Gu Yan's hand tightly and urged her: "Sister Gu, you talk, what's going on?"
Zhang Huashang smiled gently, obviously waiting for Gu Yan to speak.
However, Gu Yan just glanced at Zhang Huashang coldly and kept silent.
——
In the wing room, Gu Yan was packing the package. Zhou Yun stood at the door and looked at her motionlessly, her face pale and cold.
After a long time, she said, "Sister Gu, why did you not say a word just now?"
Gu Yan guessed what she was thinking with just a glance, and inevitably she sighed in her heart.
Since her home changed, in a short time, she has tasted the worldly beauty and coldness. Only the person in front of her still treats her as usual.
She couldn't help but whisper: "Yun'er, don't think too much, it's okay, I'm not suitable for the royal family."
Speaking of this, Gu Yan's eyes flashed lightly and she didn't say anything further. She was not what she wanted to enter the palace and was very low-key during the primary election, but she still passed the primary election.
Her parents are loyal to the country, and the royal family will not treat her badly even for their reputation. This is also the confidence of her grandmother to ask her to enter the palace to draft.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yun bit his lip and lowered his voice: "How can this be the same?"
She knew that Sister Gu was unwilling to enter the palace to be drafted, but how could the two be the same if she failed the palace and was sent out of the palace with an unpleasant reputation?
Thinking of this, she was about to get up and go out. Gu Yan guessed what she was going to do and immediately grabbed her: "Yun'er!"
"This trial was hosted by the Queen, and Zhang Huashang is the queen's niece. Don't make things difficult for me to call the concubine."
Zhou Yun was so anxious that he said: "What should you do? How can I feel at ease if you lose the election like this?"
Gu Yan didn't answer this, but just held her hand tightly and instructed word by word: "Zhang Huashang and Zhuang Yisui have always been incompatible with you. When I leave, you must take care of the two of them."
Finally, she strengthened her tone and said, "Yun'er, have you not even listened to my words?"
Zhou Yun's eyes turned red. When her father returned to Beijing and resumed her post, she returned to Beijing with her. If Gu Yan, who was still the daughter of the Duke's Mansion, was protecting her everywhere, how could she have had her original peace?
The nanny outside urged him that the person who had made a mistake had no qualifications to spend the night in the palace.
Zhou Yun wanted to follow, but was stopped by the nanny: "It's late at night, please stay."
Gu Yan was deserted and there was only one package and one palace servant guided the way.
Zhou Yun pressed the door railing with her fingers white, and she gritted her teeth so hard that she could resist the impulse.
In the yard, Zhang Huashang stood in the corridor from a distance, and Yang Yun behind him chuckled: "These two have deep sisterly love."
After saying that, she frowned and added: "But, it's a pity..."
What a pity? Zhang Huashang naturally knew it in his heart.
Today, Japan is not targeting Gu Yan. Zhou Yun is always so lucky, so how come so many people help her?
Good luck makes people jealous.
She accidentally scanned Zhou Yun, but happened to see Zhou Yun's gaze last year, causing Zhang Huashang to be beating a little.
Except for Zhou Yun who has a good aunt, Zhang Huashang doesn't really like Zhou Yun last year, and thinks she is too ostentatious and has such a temperament, and is always not very likable.
However, thinking of Zhou Yun's gaze just now, Zhang Huashang's eyes froze slightly, and she frowned uneasyly.
——
In the Jujiao Palace, the princess leaned on the soft couch, and Fuling opened the bead curtain and walked in.
"Miss Gu has left the palace."
The palace was silent, and all the palace people were silent.
After a long time, Concubine Zhen closed her eyes and said slowly: "Look, this person is cold and tea is cold. How long has the tablet been placed in the Gu Family Ancestral Hall? This only daughter is bullied by others."
"I don't know if it's worth it."
Fuling didn't reply, no one can estimate whether it was worth it, she just said:
"The girl is very sad."
The girl has always been acquainted with Miss Gu, but now Miss Gu is leaving the palace again. Not to mention being sad, just blaming herself may make the girl feel uncomfortable.
The windows in the hall were not closed tightly, and a gust of cold wind blew in. Concubine Zhen suddenly started coughing. She coughed fiercely, her body trembled slightly, her face turned strangely red, and finally fell on the soft couch.
Fuling was so scared that his face turned pale.
Concubine Zhen just smiled softly: "This body of my palace seems to be useless."
"Even if I'm sorry to the girl from the Gu family, I have to pave the way for Yun'er."
Her eyebrows and eyes were cold: "That's all the rest."
Gu Yan is now in a downturn, but her status is not low. In addition, the emperor remembers the contributions of Gu and his wife in his heart, so he will not treat Gu Yan unfairly.
If she entered the palace, she would have to be the one who was full of the beautiful girls.
After a while, Concubine Zhen pushed Fuling away and supported her hand:
"Miss Gu left the palace due to illness and sent someone to send her back to the house for a long time. She must not be neglected."
In any case, this is much better than being demoted from the palace because of illness.
