Gu Jiu followed Zhang's family, Xie's family returned to the side hall.

She was a little disturbed.

A dazzling one, unexpectedly saw Pei Yun.

Has Bae Yun returned to the capital?

Before thinking about it, they have already entered the side hall.

Zhang looked at Gu Jiu, thinking that Gu Jiu was afraid, so he comforted her in a low voice, "Don't worry, it's okay."

Gu Jiu nodded slightly, "Thank you auntie."

Xie's brows frowned slightly, and after sitting down, he couldn't help but look back at Gu Jiu.

She couldn't figure out why the Empress Empress was so attracted to Gu Jiu alone.

Very strange.

Could it be the old lady Wei's credit again?

The Xie family whispered to the Zhang family: "Sister-in-law, what do you think the old lady would say in front of the mother?"

"Naturally speaking auspicious words."

Xie paused, and asked again: "The Queen Empress asked Xiao Jiu, it should be the old lady's reason."

Zhang said softly, "You don't need to think about it, just wait quietly."

Xie suddenly felt boring.

To be honest, Zhang's family also didn't know what was going on in the main hall? Not sure about the thoughts of Queen Cui.

You can only wait for the palace banquet, and find an opportunity to ask some sister-in-laws in the Hou Mansion, maybe they know.

The empress is tired, so she can finish her interview with the imperial court wife in the fastest time.

Then, he was helped by the palace.

Everyone moved to Chenghui Hall.

The palace banquet will be held in Chenghui Hall.

When the empress is not there, the atmosphere in Chenghui Hall is much more lively.

Finally, everyone didn't have to sit on the chairs, they could move around in the group hall at will, gathering together in twos and threes to talk.

Gu Yue was anxious, she had been holding it for a long time, and she could not hold it anymore.

She pulled Gu Shan, "Sister Si, you accompany me to the toilet, okay?"

Seeing her in a hurry, Gu Shan hurriedly talked to Xie and Zhang.

Xie frowned and whispered, "I told you during the New Year's Eve dinner last night, eat and drink less, and don't drink water after getting up. Did you forget it again?"

Gu Yue was so anxious that she was about to cry.

Zhang hurriedly said, "Don't worry about younger brothers and sisters."

She called a little palace lady, gave a purse, and let the little palace lady lead Gu Yue to the toilet. Gu Shan accompanies Gu Yue to go there together.

Xie urged Gu Shan: "Take good care of your third sister, and come back as soon as you are done, and you are not allowed to stay outside."

Gu Shan bowed to take the command, and hurried to catch up with Gu Yue.

Zhang said to Gu Jiu: "Xiao Jiu, if you are in a hurry, just tell me."

Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern. I'm okay."

For today's morning congratulations, Gu Jiu abruptly endured it, and had not drank a sip of water for five or six hours. Now she just feels thirsty, not in a hurry.

Zhang met the three sister-in-laws of the Hou Mansion and hurriedly greeted them. Xie also followed, wanting to inquire about the news.

Gu Jiu got into the crowd and walked towards Pei Yun.

Pei Yun also saw Gu Jiu, smiled at Gu Jiu, and then walked towards her.

"Sister Pei, it's really you!" Gu Jiu looked happy.

Pei Yun looked around, "Hush, I just returned to the capital for a few days. Sister Gu, I have heard about everything. I didn't expect my mother-in-law would go to your house to propose a marriage, and then go back and forth, don't be angry."

Gu Jiu smiled sweetly, "Sister Pei is too worried, I have forgotten if you don't mention it."

Pei Yun took Gu Jiu's hand and said, "I will persuade my mother to change her mind and invite the matchmaker to your house again to propose marriage."

"Don't."

When Gu Jiu heard this, he was anxious, "Sister Pei, marriage is easy. Now that the wife has given up, let this matter go, no need to mention it again."

Pei Yun was a little confused, "Is Sister Gu angry? Still look down on my third brother?"

"Neither. I just don't want to make a marriage so early, and I want to stay at home for two more years."

Pei Yun suddenly realized that Gu Jiu's thoughts were similar to her previous thoughts.

She secretly ran to the northwest, also to avoid marriage.

But after spending more than half a year in the northwest, things did not develop as she expected.

And she is too old to be delayed any longer.

Pei Yun thought it through, so she returned to the capital, ready to accept this fate.

Pei Yun said to Gu Jiu: "Sister Gu, let me say a few more words. Don't be annoying me, okay?"

Gu Jiu nodded, "Sister Pei, please say."

Pei Yun said: "I can understand Sister Gu's feeling that she doesn't want to marry too early. But if she encounters a suitable marriage, Sister Gu should also firmly grasp it.

There seem to be a lot of young talents in the capital, but the ones that suit you are actually very limited, and sometimes you don't even meet any of them. If you are lucky enough, don't miss it. "

Gu Jiu blinked and then laughed, "Thank you Sister Pei for the point, I will remember what you said. It's just that I haven't met a suitable marriage right now."

Pei Yun smiled clearly, it seemed that Gu Jiu didn't want to marry Luhou Mansion. Perhaps it was what the elders of the Gu family said to Gu Jiu, such as saying that Luhou Mansion is not a good match.

Now that Gu Jiu has expressed his attitude, Pei Yun will naturally not be overwhelmed by others.

"I hope Sister Gu can achieve everything she wants."

"Thank you Sister Pei, and I hope you can get what you want and marry a wishful man."

Pei Yun bowed her head with a sad expression, "What is considered a Ruyi Langjun?"

Gu Jiu deliberately said: "Everyone has their own standards, and this varies from person to person."

"Then what is the Ruyi Langjun in sister Gu's heart?"

Gu Jiu smiled shyly, "I didn't think about this problem seriously. Generally speaking, it means that the character is good, reasonable, and the family situation is simpler and better. I guess I can't meet it."

Pei Yun teased: "Just because of a simple family situation, ninety-nine percent of the people have been rejected. The remaining few people, I am afraid, will not meet the requirements of character and reasonableness. It can be seen that sister Gu's request is not. Generally high, but very high."

Gu Jiu laughed, eyebrows crooked, "So my idea is too naive. Marriage matters, let it happen."

Pei Yun smiled bitterly, with sad eyes, "I really envy Sister Gu, you think so."

Gu Jiu thoughtfully, "Did Sister Pei encounter any difficulties?"

"Is it difficult for someone I like to look down on but the other person looks down on me?"

Oh!

Gu Jiu suddenly realized.

She comforted Pei Yun: "There are thousands of men in the world, why sister Pei hanged on a tree with a crooked neck. The other party did not look at you, it was the other party's loss, which can only prove that the person has no eyesight and is lame."

Liu Zhao, who was in the Tai Chi Palace at the moment, felt a little itchy nose and couldn't help but want to sneeze.

He rubbed his nose and held back.

Ha ha……

Pei Yun covered her mouth and laughed, "You said he was a crooked neck tree, puff... If he hears it, he will die of anger."

Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Sister Pei definitely won't tell each other, right?"

Pei Yun nodded, "Of course not. Sister Gu, your comfort is really ingenious. Listening to you, my mood has improved a lot. He is not alone in the world, so why should I hang on him."

"That's right. Where there is no fragrant grass in the end of the world, why do you have unrequited love for a grass."

Pei Yun couldn't help laughing again, "Sister Gu, you are so funny. It is also appropriate to compare a woman to a flower and a man to a grass. Thank you for your sister, I am in a much better mood. Time is limited today, another day. I’ll post you a post. Let’s find a place to sit down and have a good chat."

Gu Jiu's eyebrows curled, "Sister Pei doesn't want me to be indifferent."

"You're worrying too much, you are a weird thing to say."

Occasion restrictions, the two broke up after talking.

Gu Shan accompanied Gu Yue back to the main hall, and Gu Yue regained his energy with a comfortable expression.

Xie didn't let her go and beat her hard.

Gu Yue was wronged and almost cried.

"Don't look at the occasion. If you dare to cry, I will break your leg."

Gu Yue put away her tears, "Daughter dare not cry."

Xie snorted coldly, "Follow the rules, don't walk around, follow me."

"The daughter listens to her mother."

Gu Jiu saw that the atmosphere was stiff, so he didn't step forward.

She found Gu Mei in the crowd, "Sister Mei, thank you for your hard work today."

"Sister Xiao Jiu worked hard."

The two smiled at each other.

For today's morning congratulations, in fact, everyone has worked very hard.

This will also be strong in the spirit of entertaining all parties.

Gu Jiu asked quietly: "Sister Mei, in the main hall of Weiyang Palace before, the Queen Mother called our sisters to come forward and speak, do you mean nothing else?"

Gu Jiu has been worried about this, for fear of accidents.

Gu Mei said: "The queen empress should only be on a whim, and there is no other meaning."

"That's good, that's good."

Gu Jiu felt relieved. As long as it is not targeted by the Queen Empress.

...

There was a cough in the bedroom of Weiyang Palace, as if the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys were about to cough up, making the hearts of the palace people clenched.

The lady of the court hurriedly walked into the sleeping hall with a bowl of soup and medicine, "Niang, the medicine is here."

"Cough cough... cough cough... poof..."

Blood was gushing, and the palace maids and eunuchs seemed to collapse.

"Manny, do you matter?"

"The empress vomited blood, let the doctor Wang come in soon."

"Manny, you lie down quickly."

For a moment, Empress Cui looked at the blood on the carpet blankly.

She vomited blood, even vomiting blood.

"Why panic! My palace is not dead yet."

Queen Cui scolded the palace people angrily.

The palace people were quiet in an instant.

Empress Cui took the handkerchief from the maid and gently wiped the corners of her mouth.

The corners of his mouth are full of blood.

The dark red blood makes people frightened.

Empress Cui laughed at herself, "It seems that there is not much time left for this palace."

The Royal Physician Wang came in carrying the medicine box, and when he saw the blood on the ground, he was also frightened.

"Please stretch out your hand for Niang Niang, and the Weichen will diagnose Niang Niang's pulse."

Empress Cui stretched out her right hand and said: "You don't need to be nervous, take your time."

The cold sweat on Dr. Wang's forehead came down.

He checked his pulse blankly, and his heart jumped suddenly, too frightened.

After the pulse diagnosis, the doctor Wang bowed and said: "The previous prescription has to be changed, and the Weichen prescribes again."

Empress Cui stared at Doctor Wang, "Let's talk, how is the health of this palace? How long will I be able to live?"

The doctor Wang was pale, and knelt on the ground with a thud, "Please forgive your mother, please forgive her..."

"To tell the truth, this palace spares you not to die. Otherwise, you know the harem." Empress Cui stared at Doctor Wang gloomily.

The beads of sweat on the forehead of the Royal Physician Wang fell drop by drop.

"Weichen, Weichen..."

"Let's say, no matter what the consequences are, this palace can afford it."

Physician Wang gritted her teeth, "The mother's body has reached the point where the oil is exhausted, and it is possible at any time..."

"How long can you keep the palace alive?"

Queen Cui didn't want to hear words that might die at any time, she wanted a specific time.

Doctor Wang was frightened and looked up at Empress Cui.

Queen Cui sternly scolded, "Say, how many days can I live in this palace?"

"Niang Niang, life-saving medicines are all tiger-wolf medicines. After taking them, they will feel painful."

Empress Cui said calmly: "I haven't suffered anything in my life in this palace. Now I just want to know how many days I can live?"

The doctor Wang said boldly: "If you follow the prescription, you can still have five days at most. If you take the life-saving medicine, supplemented by acupuncture, it will only take half a month at most."

"It only takes half a month, time is really pressing."

Empress Cui sighed with emotion.

In the sleeping hall, all the palace members knelt down.

The air was suddenly quiet, no one spoke, and even the atmosphere did not dare to breathe.

Empress Cui smiled coldly and said: "Go and invite your Royal Highness, and I have something to say to him."

At this time, a palace lady came in from outside and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, your majesty, and your Royal Highness, as well as all the princes and grandsons."

Empress Cui smiled softly, "Clean up the ground, and let your Majesty and them come in."

The palace people hurriedly changed the carpet and cleaned up the traces.

The maid said: "But your majesty has already arrived at the gate of the palace, and the maidservant is afraid that he won't be able to stop your majesty."

The queen urged her eyes to stare, "Tell Your Majesty, if he doesn't want this palace to die today, don't rush in."

The palace lady's face was pale, she bowed to take her orders, and hurried out.

When Emperor Kai Yao heard that the empress was unwell, even his wife Chaohe hurriedly finished it. So he left his courtiers and led the princes and grandchildren to visit Weiyang Palace.

As a result, when he arrived at the sleeping hall, he was stopped by the palace man.

"The empress said, please come in later, Your Majesty."

Emperor Kai Yao frowned, "It's absurd, even I dare to stop it."

The palace people all knelt down, "Please atone for your sins, this is what the empress meant. The empress said, if your majesty doesn't want her to die today, don't rush in."

Kai Yaodi's face changed, and his face was sullen and silent.

His Royal Highness paled, and hurriedly asked: "How is the mother's queen? How about the royal doctors? Go and call all the doctors from the hospital."

Immediately there was a maid leading the order and went to the imperial hospital to call the imperial doctor.

"Stop yelling, come in. This palace will not die in a while."

Empress Cui's voice came from the sleeping hall.

Kai Yaodi let out a cold snort, and led the princes and grandchildren into the bedroom.

The sleeping hall was completely new, the carpets were replaced with new ones, the bed was cleaned, and the bedding was replaced with new ones.

Queen Cui's court clothes were changed, and they changed into light home clothes.

She was sitting on the head of the bed with an unhealthy flush of red on her face.

"Your Majesty, forgive me, my concubines can't get out of bed."

"Don't care about these fake gifts."

Emperor Kai Yao stepped forward and sat on the head of the bed, holding Empress Cui's hand.

Emperor Kai Yao was in his early sixties, old fat, with a beard, and when he glanced at it suddenly, he mistakenly thought he was a kind elder.

However, he didn't know that Emperor Kai Yao, from the prince to the emperor, to the elderly emperor, stepped on the sea of ​​blood on the mountain of corpses all the way.

There are many bones under his feet, and how many aristocratic families who have passed on for a hundred years have been destroyed in the hands of Emperor Kai Yao and disappeared in the long river of time.

Kai Yaodi's dozens of brothers were all dead and abolished.

There are only three or two of the brothers who are still alive today. Others have become cannon fodder on his road to imperial power. Nothing is spared.

Such an emperor is kind and non-existent. Cruelty and paranoia are the most profound portrayals of him.

As long as it is the person he hates, it is absolutely to death. It’s not enough to die one person, you have to die the whole family.

As long as it is someone he trusts, even if the treasury is emptied, everyone from the people to the court will still enjoy glory and wealth.

But once he loses his trust, it will die worse than other officials.

Empress Cui looked at Emperor Kai Yao and smiled.

The two young couples have gone through decades of ups and downs together from their youth to old age.

Empress Cui can't remember whether she has ever fallen in love. Those were all decades ago, and who still remembers the sentiments of the teenage years.

But Empress Cui was sure that she had tried to kill Emperor Kai Yao countless times.

I believe that the other party thinks so too, and has wanted to abolish her as a queen countless times.

The husband and wife killed each other for decades, and now they are both old, but they still can't let go of those knots.

Empress Cui said: "Thank your Majesty for coming to visit his concubines. Your concubines are not able to live up to your strength, so your majesty is bothering you."

"We are a husband and wife, it's too strange to say this."

Empress Cui lowered her head and smiled. Both husband and wife are used to acting and have forgotten how to speak sincerely.

"Your Majesty, the concubines are going to die soon, I guess they won't survive this year."

When His Royal Highness heard this, his body couldn't help but shook, looking helpless.

Empress Cui glanced at the prince gently, ignoring the other party.

Emperor Kai Yao comforted Empress Cui, "The empress still has to relax and take good care of her body. I also hope that the empress can always be with me."

"The concubines also want to be with Your Majesty, but time waits for no one."

"Don't think about it. If the doctor is incompetent, I will call a world famous doctor to treat the queen."

Empress Cui smiled, "Your majesty's heart, the concubine's heart understands it."
