Chapter 708
Because of this incident, Su Yue's spirit was not very good during this time.

Although she jumped into the lake in the summer, she still caught the wind and cold. Perhaps it was because she didn't change her clothes, so Su Yue didn't dare to go to the Qinlan Palace, for fear of infecting Gu Shi, who was already weak. poetry.

After the other concubines knew about this, they all went to visit Gu Shishi one by one to condolence, but except for a few noble concubines, Gu Zhaoyi did not see her.

Concubine De was imprisoned in the Orchid Palace and could not come out without Ye Ci's order. Even her three meals had become rudimentary.

Concubine De didn't know whether she was guilty or afraid, and she didn't continue to make trouble.

The three noble concubines were all happy to see Concubine De punished, especially the good concubine. They wished that Concubine De was thrown into the cold palace because of her late resignation, and she would never be able to stand out again.

But in fact, under the condition that the Zhao family tried to protect her.

In the end, Concubine De was only imprisoned in Youlan Palace for two months, then fined a year's salary, and copied the Heart Sutra a hundred times.

Gu Shishi was half leaning on the bed, her lips were pale, and even her eyelids were stained with pain, and her whole person looked a little weak.

Staring at Yeci, he asked in a cold voice: "Your Majesty, is that all?"

She was questioning Ye Ci. Her child had been killed by Concubine De, so she was just punished with confinement and a salary.

Yeci turned around, and his cold face was stained with a rare look of exhaustion. He was busy with the flood recently, and came to take care of Gu Shishi at night, and he couldn't bear it anymore.

"Son, we'll have more in the future."

Hearing this, the last glimmer of light in Gu Shishi's eyes disappeared, she just looked at Ye Ci calmly, and then lay down.

Turning his back to Yeci, he said: "I am a concubine, please come back, Your Majesty."

Ye Ci looked at Gu Shishi, who was facing away from him, his hands were tightly clenched, so strong that his fingernails cut through his palms, and blood dripped from between his fingers, but he couldn't even say a word of comfort to Gu Shishi. Unable to speak.

Because of the flood, the treasury, which had been squandered by the previous emperor, could not cope with it at all.

The Zhao family offered to protect the concubine on the condition of donating 10 taels of gold and hundreds of tons of rice to the national treasury.

On one side is his beloved woman, but on the other side is Wanmin who is in dire straits, and his heart is also suffering.

He weighed the pros and cons, and finally chose to protect his people, and wronged Gu Shishi first.

"Rest well, if you don't want to see me, go to the queen." Ye Ci let go of her hand and said softly.

However, Gu Shishi did not respond to Yeci, as if she had never heard of Yeci, Yeci opened her mouth but didn't know what else to say.

Feeling guilty in his heart, Yeci could only turn around and leave Qinlan Palace in the end.

Gu Shishi, who was lying on the bed, was crying silently at this moment, tears dripping into the pillow like threads, but she didn't even hum, she just covered her heart with her hand, only feeling the pain in that position.

Because at this moment, she gave up.

She could endure all kinds of grievances in the past, whether it was framed or deliberately made things difficult, even if Concubine De came to humiliate her, she could treat them all as nothing.

Because this is the price to pay for loving him.

But now, he can't even do justice to their children.

Gu Shishi felt that there was no need to continue this love now.
