Chapter 177: The Gu Sisters

The two Gu nobles in the palace are Gu Su, who was pregnant, and Gu Liman, the biological mother of the twelfth prince.

Originally, their concubines were different, but Gu Su was the first to conceive but failed to give birth. At that time, the queen was worried. At the critical moment, Gu Liman gave birth to the twelfth prince. Therefore, the two sisters who had disparity in status at home are now on equal footing.

For this reason, Gu Su and Gu Liman have always been at odds, plus Gu Shao who is caught in the middle and stirs up the flames, they are obviously the three sisters who are related by blood, but there has not been a day of peace in the past two years.

Gu Zhen also said to her natal family: "At the beginning, they were arranged to live together, thinking that they were all on their own, and at least they had someone to take care of. Looking at it now, it seems that they are going to have a grudge. Why don't we let them separate? It's just that the noble concubine is favored now, and the concubine Shu and the concubine are all looking towards her. Even the concubine Xian vaguely has the intention of repairing with the concubine. Even if the concubines below are not eager to cling to the Xuanqing Palace, they dare not offend the concubine. Xiaoyun’s. I can still see the three of them together, but if they are separated into three places, I’m really afraid that I won’t be able to see them.”

Although Gu Su and the other three sisters have serious grievances and cannot get along, they are not stupid.

This palace is not a good place to get along with each other. Even if the empress is the elder sister, the emperor can't stand the favor of the imperial concubine, and the one who occupies the main position, is there a fuel-efficient lamp?

In case the queen doesn't take good care of her after separation, she doesn't even know how she died!

Therefore, after hearing this, she insisted on making a gesture of sisterly affection in front of the queen, saying: "My sisters are making trouble behind closed doors, how can they really be like enemies? Sister, don't think too much, because I will Let's live together."

In fact, this is also what the queen meant. The queen didn't want her three young and beautiful sisters to unite.

This is not a good thing for her, not to mention that Gu Liman is the biological mother of the twelfth prince, the queen ascended to the throne by virtue of her family, and the family can support her and other daughters.

In particular, the empress felt that things had not been going well since then. Chunjia had said once or twice that she was incompetent and could no longer control the Six Palaces.

In this case, it is good for the three of Gu Liman to fight together.

Not only does it appear that they are not aware of the general situation, and they are not suitable for the next position than themselves, but also let them monitor and be hostile to each other, so that they will not give birth to the idea of ​​​​replacing her sister.

Yun Fenghuang didn't seem to pay much attention to the commotion, and Gu Zhen asked people to suppress the news and not allow it to spread, and the three sisters could tear it up as they wanted... as long as it didn't make a big fuss.

So at first I didn't take it seriously after hearing the report from the palace man, I just asked lightly: "A fight started? What's the matter?"

The three younger sisters, at first, Gu Shao and Gu Liman gave way to Gu Su, who had the best background.

But after Gu Su's pregnancy and Gu Liman gave birth to the prince, even though Gu Liman's attitude was still very respectful at first, he didn't mean to despise the two cousins ​​at all because of the credit for having a child. Gu Su, out of jealousy and pity for his child, treated her The attitude inevitably became bad. Moreover, the reason why Gu Su's tire slipped back then had something to do with Gu Liman, at least it was through Gu Liman's hands. Gu Shao was also afraid that the world would not be chaotic, so he provoked one side and provoked another, and gradually Gu Liman couldn't bear it anymore and began to fight back... This is not the first time that he got into trouble.

"Your Majesty, the fight this time is still the same as before, only caused by a little quarrel." The palace man's expression was serious, and he said in a deep voice, "However, Mr. Gu Gui accidentally scratched Mrs. Gu's face, and it seems that he still hurt her. Eye."

Because the two sisters are noble people, in order to distinguish them, the older Gu Su is called Da Gu, and the younger Gu Liman is called Xiao Gu.

"..." The queen's original casual posture froze instantly, and after a while, she said hoarsely, "How many times have they quarreled before, and nothing like this has ever happened... What a mistake?!"

At this moment, she was a little suspicious of Queen Mother Yuan.

After all, it was a coincidence. As she said, the three younger sisters had pinched each other so many times before and they didn't miss it. Why did they rush the Queen Mother Yuan to find her for Qingdie's matter, and then they missed it?

You must know that when Gu Su slipped a tire, he actually had a vague relationship with the Queen Mother Yuan.

It's just that the queen has no evidence, and in Chunjia's mind, a concubine prince can't compare with Queen Mother Yuan at all, so she has no intention of pursuing it, and finally nothing happens.

Now that something happened to the three younger sisters, how could the empress not suspect that the Empress Dowager Yuan was outraged by the emperor's peace of mind, and used Gu Su and Gu Liman to vent her anger on Concubine An?

The palace man lowered his head and said in a low voice: "There is a commotion over there now, and everyone is asking the empress to come over and make decisions... Specifically, Mr. Gu Gui is frightened now, and Mrs. Gu can't cry, and can't speak intermittently. Come on."

"What about Gu Shao?!" The queen asked coldly, "She usually sows discord, so she must be involved in this matter. What can she say?"

"Gu Cairen said that she was not in the room at the time, so she didn't know anything." After all, Gu Shao entered the palace with Gu Su and Gu Liman. After the latter two were promoted to the throne due to pregnancy, the queen was told several times by her, I found it annoying, and I was promoted to a talented person.

Anyway, just like Yun Fenghuang's opinion when he just entered the palace, the promotion of this kind of low-ranking concubine is a one-sentence matter for a high-ranking concubine, which is meaningless.

At this moment, the queen just sneered when she heard this: "She doesn't know?! Ben Gong usually fills Gu Su and Gu Li with some things, and she is very clear about it! These two sisters are making such a big commotion, but she doesn't know?! Then what does she know!?"

After exhaling, the queen said, "This matter can't be spread, let them all shut up, and send a trustworthy imperial physician to Gu Liman after dark. When the time comes, let Gu Shao roll over and tell the ins and outs of the palace ! If you can’t tell, it’s useless for me to look at her!”

After all, apart from the time when Gu Su and Gu Liman were pregnant, the empress had a noble status, so how could it be possible to visit a few younger sisters who were palace concubines in person? Now that she is gone, I am afraid that Liu Gong will pay attention to her past.

"No way." The Empress said the way to deal with it. After thinking about it, she felt uneasy, and said in a low voice, "If that old maidservant made this matter, I'm afraid I won't wait for Ben Gong to hit me up? That's it."

She looked up at the palace man, "Go again and let those three bastards confess to the couple, only saying that Liman's injury was caused by the two sisters playing carelessly... When I asked them to separate before, they Didn't it mean that although they are usually noisy, but after all, my sisters have broken their bones and connected their tendons, so are they still affectionate? If so, now is the time to prove to the family that what they said is sincere! Ruoguo called the Queen Mother Grabbing the handle, when the time comes, Ben Gong will be in a bad mood, and they will be okay?!"

Even so, the queen is still worried, after all, Queen Mother Yuan is not a good stubble.

She walked back and forth in the palace twice, and then ordered a palace servant to send a message to the three younger sisters: "Watch them to pay attention to the people around them, even the servants who are married into the palace must not relax their vigilance! If there is anything wrong, don't be caught It's hard to get out if you're entangled!"

At this time, she regretted that she had neglected the attention of these three sisters. If they were too stupid and didn't know if they were tricked, she didn't know if they could succeed in the aftermath?

"Your Majesty..." The queen suddenly thought of what Chunjia said before, making her think about her grievances and anger when she encounters problems, but learn from him and think about what to do instead of why or why.

She bit her lip, thinking quickly, "What would Your Majesty want me to do at this time?"

While the queen was thinking about Chunjia's thoughts, Yun Fenghuang was holding a warm drink and asked Chen Jing casually: "If the face is cut, the eyes may not be able to keep it? What did you say to Gu Su to let her treat her?" Do you want my sister to kill me like this?"

"Your Majesty, servants and servants really don't talk too much." Chen Jing bowed her body and said cautiously, "It's just a hint that you care about your nobles. There are so many people in the palace, especially after your Majesty is happy, Your Majesty basically won't go anywhere else. Counting the number of years that Mr. Da Gu has been in the palace, he is not stunning in the first place. If he continues to waste time like this, he is afraid that he will grow old? Even with the protection of the empress, life in the palace is fine, but he has no children. Without any guarantee, His Majesty will never remember her at all! The most important thing is that Empress Empress has a legitimate son from Mrs. Ping and Xiao Gugui, and she doesn't expect her to help raise children. How can she help to introduce her to His Majesty? ?”

"In this way, the nobleman Da Gu wants His Majesty to remember, he can only do it himself!"

"The servant who arranged the past just reminded the nobleman, Da Gu, to let her make a fuss about her lost emperor's heir, so as to arouse His Majesty's pity... Who knew she was so cruel?"

After all, Gu Su's miscarriage at the beginning had greatly stimulated the empress.

Especially when Ping Xianyi was pregnant later, but there was no news from the three Gu sisters, and the queen was quite emaciated during that time.

Although Ping Xianyi was very cooperative and handed over the child to the queen after giving birth to the tenth prince, but looking at Chunjia, he knew that blood was still very important.

The Gu family didn't want to share the glory and status of Qingci Palace with the Heing family after all the hard work.

This old matter is brought up again, and it is not difficult to irritate the queen in this eye joint.

...In the end, Gu Su didn't know what to think, and suddenly made things worse.

Hearing this, Yun Fenghuang couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth: "Perhaps little Gu Guiren was inferior to her in status and emperor's favor in the past, but because of the Twelve Princes, not only is she on an equal footing with her now, but her future is even higher than her." , so I can't stand it."

Chen Jing hurriedly said, "Your Majesty said so."

"It's just that Gu Su is too reckless. After all, her younger sister is also the biological mother of the Twelfth Prince. Even if she was treated better than Gu Liman at home and in front of the Queen, now for the Twelfth Prince, the Queen will not It may not be that she will continue to favor her." Yun Fenghuang sighed, "This is also a miserable person! When she gave birth to a prince, what happened to Gu Liman? What happened to the tenth prince and the twelfth prince? Mishap, the child is gone, and my own future is gone. I will be caught up by Gu Liman, even if I am a little impulsive now, there is no need to be harsh."

Let Chen Jing say, "Since you have reminded her once, you might as well remind her again. If the empress refuses to spare her lightly, you can come to Bengong for help! Although Bengong is a bit impatient, she is pregnant now. For the sake of accumulating virtue for the children in her womb, she will not be stingy in giving her a hand!"

Chen Jing understood: "My maidservant will send someone to bring up Mr. Da Gu, but I hope that Noble Concubine Da Gu will not disappoint your mother's heart of nurturing her."

The next step is similar to what Yun Fenghuang thought, Gu Su, as the cousin who has the closest blood relationship with Gu Zhen and gets along a lot, has a higher status in front of Gu Zhen and in the Gu family than Gu Shao and Gu Liman.

But that was before.

Gu Liman's mother is expensive because of her son, even if she is as noble as Gu Su, the weight is not comparable to Gu Su's.

After all, although the Twelfth Prince is still young and doesn't remember much, and he doesn't know that Gu Liman is his biological mother, he will grow up.

When the time comes, if we know that the biological mother has suffered such a big loss and the perpetrators are treated lightly, can we not have a grudge against Gu Zhen?

Perhaps this prince is the kind of reasonable person who can understand the queen's feelings for Gu Su and her estrangement from Gu Liman...but the queen will most likely not gamble on such illusory odds.

The main thing is that Gu Zhen's affection for Gu Su is only deeper than that of Gu Shao and Gu Liman, and it is not to the point of defending her desperately.

So the queen first acted softly and hard to get them to make a good confession to suppress the matter.

Then it was a promise that Gu Liman would find an opportunity to make her a concubine to appease her, and to Gu Su...she didn't show up, and she didn't even ask the maid who sent the message to say a word to her.

"My lord, I'm afraid I don't plan to punish you lightly." The palace servant arranged by Chen Jing took advantage of the situation and told Gu Su privately, "Even, I will let you... let you disappear without a sound, so that the matter can be solved. Quit quickly!"

Gu Su didn't believe it at first. After all, because of her own father, she was spoiled by her family since she was a child. She felt that if Gu Zhen got angry, she wouldn't kill herself.

So how would the queen explain to her aunt and biological mother?

Besides, they are cousins, Gu Zhen will bear it?

"Does the nobleman still say such innocent things now?" The palace man sighed, "If the empress really treats you as a sister, as for you, you are still just a nobleman? In terms of background, how are you worse than today's Concubine Shu and Defei?" If you say that the Empress can't lift people up, how did the Ping family manage to be the lord of the first palace? According to the servant girl, the Empress has been guarding against you from the beginning! After all, you are also the granddaughter of the old man! Younger than the Empress Empress, and more beautiful than the Empress Empress. Back then... if the little prince hadn't disappeared, you said, if you gave birth to a little prince, wouldn't you be more qualified to sit in that seat than the empress empress?"

"Since the empress does not treat you as a sister, how can she let you go now? Don't forget that the twelve princes will always grow up. He was not born by the empress. Can the empress coax you?"

The voice lowered, "It is said that the situation of Mr. Gu is not very good. You said, if Mr. Gu is gone this time..."

Gu Su's expression changed when he heard this, and he finally came to his senses: the twelve princes were not born to the empress. Although the empress did not go to the mother to keep the child when Gu Liman gave birth, it does not mean that the empress hopes that Gu Liman's wife will be peaceful. She survived and became the second Queen Mother Qu.

It might even be because Gu Zhen had high hopes for the Twelfth Prince and didn't want to have any grievances with this adopted son, so he didn't do anything to Gu Liman.

But now, her actions gave the queen an excellent reason.

Sacrificing a cousin who didn't pay much attention to him in exchange for the death of noble Gu, even if the twelve princes are not the queen's own, can they not treat the queen wholeheartedly in the future?

If it was Gu Su, she would do the same!

In addition, the queen did promote Ping Xianyi to be a concubine, but she always insisted that the three younger sisters from her natal family were in the concubine position... Gu Su suddenly became short of breath!

"My lord, we can't just sit and wait for death." Gu Su could fully understand what the palace man said next, "We have to think of a way, and we have to act quickly, otherwise, I'm afraid it will be too late, maidservant!"

Gu Su wanted to nod, but said at a loss: "But the reason why I was able to enter the palace is because of my family and the Queen's sister. Now that my sister wants to kill me, and the news can't reach my family, what can I do?"

"Did you forget that the empress alone has the final say in this palace?" The palace man seduced calmly, "Whether it's a loving mother, empress dowager, or noble concubine, they are the masters that the empress would not dare to neglect." .And their relationship with the empress is not very good. Why don't you try to ask these two for help? Maybe they can solve your crisis on a whim?"

"But I'm not familiar with these two at all." Gu Su wondered, "Even if they are willing to help, now the Queen's sister's people are watching outside, how can the news spread?"

The palace man said: "My lord, if you do extraordinary things at an extraordinary time, it depends on whether you dare to take risks!"

...After half an hour, the news that the Cyan Peach Palace where the three Gu sisters lived quickly spread throughout the six palaces!
