The first male queen [crossing]

Gu Junci and Pei Sheng, who had changed their attire, entered Chang'an City. As usual, in the bustling market, several people gathered in groups at the tea stalls, talking about the most eye-catching gossip in Chang'an City after dinner.

Especially the previous matter between Xiao Yuan and that beloved concubine, in their mouths, it has evolved into piles of eclectic stories, all kinds of them.

One said that this favored concubine was originally a good friend of King Qing, but he was away all year round, and this good friend was picked up by the emperor when he entered the palace, and was brought into the harem as a concubine.

It is also said that this favorite concubine had a grudge against King Qing, and when King Qing fought to unify the world, the family of the favorite concubine was ruined and died, so this favorite concubine was a troublesome woman and provoked the relationship between father and son.

There are different opinions, and they have different shapes, as if they have seen it with their own eyes.

Pei Sheng, who put down the tea bowl, looked at Gu Junci who was frowning, and couldn't help but whisper: "Shall we still go to Yaotai Temple?"

Gu Jun said: "Go, of course, but you go to the Taoist priest first, and I will go to Yaotai Temple by myself later."

Pei Sheng responded and called the owner of the tea stall to collect the tea money before getting up and leaving.

Gu Junci was drinking tea by himself, looking around, no one seemed to be following him, and he didn't attract anyone's attention. Not long after Pei Sheng left, he also paid the money and left the tea stall and went directly to Yaotai Temple.

Yaotai Temple is a national temple, and most of the pilgrims who go to offer incense on weekdays are royal relatives or dignitaries.

Gu Junci was wearing a villager's coarse sackcloth, and his hair was slightly disheveled. He was stopped in front of the temple and was not allowed to enter the temple, so as not to disturb other pilgrims.

Gu Junci originally didn't intend to reveal his identity, so as not to give others a chance to attack, so he didn't argue, just cursed a few words and left, then detoured to the back door of Yaotai Temple, where there were few people, just happened to climb over the wall and enter.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the temple, he heard the sound of struggling, beating and scolding from the backyard of the corner dining room. The struggling woman was crying hard, but the voice of the nun beating and scolding her became more and more fierce.

"Little bitch, I didn't expect to look for you for a long time, but I hid in the temple. I happened to bump into you today, so I can't escape you anymore!"

The woman seemed to have her mouth covered, and her mournful voice seemed even more ironic, especially in this solemn temple.

Standing at the corner, Gu Junci watched as Mammy directed the servant girl to grab a woman with disheveled temple hair and a dirty body and press her into the well, covering her mouth to prevent her from uttering a word.

Gu Junci took out the scattered silver in the purse, and hit the knee of the arresting maid. They lost their strength and knelt down, just giving the disheveled woman a chance to escape.

Just as Nanny was about to chase after her, she heard Gu Jun say goodbye:

"Killing life in Buddhism, mother, you are so courageous, are you not afraid that the Lord Buddha will blame you and relegate you to Avici Hell?"

The nanny was obviously frightened. She looked up and saw no one appeared, so she started to chase after him. Gu Junci shook his head helplessly, and immediately rescued the woman who was running towards him, and appeared in front of the nanny. , raised his hand and knocked Nanny and the two chasing maidservants unconscious.

"Is... is it Lord Protector?"

The rescued woman behind Gu Junci suddenly spoke in a trembling voice, he turned around in a daze, but saw the woman with tears in her eyes, knelt down on the ground with a plop, and kowtowed heavily:

"My lord, Lord Protector, you are wronged! The empress is wronged! His Highness Prince Qing is wronged! Lord Protector, I beg you to save His Royal Highness Qing."

Gu Junci listened to her crying, and quickly helped her up: "Don't cry, I know His Royal Highness Prince Qing has been wronged, but what happened to the empress? A Yuan is under house arrest, so what is the matter with the empress?"

But he turned his head and thought about it again, only felt that this matter was very unsafe in this temple, so he left the temple with the woman who was crying for grievances, and even the nanny who wanted to arrest her was not left behind, and was resigned by Gu Jun He carried it and escaped.

Perhaps Pei Sheng had greeted him in advance, and when Gu Jun resigned, the priest had already made tea at home and set up tables and chairs.

After confirming that the surroundings were safe and sound, Gu Junci took the rescued woman to the inner hall and talked to her alone.

"Why did they kill you, and you, why did you complain for the queen and King Qing?" Gu Junci's expression was solemn, and the murderous aura was evident.

The rescued woman knelt down on the ground crying, she said:

"The maidservant is Yun Xiang, the little maidservant serving by the empress's side. Because of the grace of the empress empress, she protects the servant girl from being bullied in the palace. Therefore, when the maidservant is serving in the palace, she has met the Lord Protector."

Gu Junci stared at the court lady named Yunxiang in front of him, but looking at her like this, it was hard to believe that she would serve in the palace:

"Then how did you get to Yaotai Temple?"

Yun Xiang wiped away her tears, and then she looked at Gu Jun and said, "It all starts with the death of the empress."

Gu Junci was not in a hurry, so he gave Yunxiang a chance to speak.

The former empress caught wind and cold on the way from Lanling to Chang'an, and died because of Xiao Shunhua's protection of Lanling. Although the wind and cold improved after careful adjustment, in the end, her heart was damaged by excessive grief , has been conditioned by the imperial physician.

Unexpectedly, Chen Jieyu was unable to go to bed due to illness, and the empress, as the lord of the harem, naturally wanted to visit and condolences, but she never wanted to catch the crown prince talking with Chen Jieyu, and she said that Chen Jieyu was not sick, but a dark child. As for the child's biological father, it was not the emperor Xiao Boxu, but the crown prince Xiao Yan.

The empress was so angry that she fell seriously ill after returning to the palace, but she still kept her mouth shut about the matter. She even sent all the maids who heard these words to the Yaotai Temple to lead the cultivation practice, so that they could not leave for life.

Although the queen is seriously ill, she still goes to Yaotai Temple every [-]th day to offer incense. Ruexiang misses the queen's body and secretly visits the queen when she comes to pay homage, but accidentally bumps into someone putting a small amount of arsenic in the soup that the queen is taking.Frost.

Even if Rue Xiang told the queen about this, she naturally found out the person who poisoned the palace. Originally, Rue Xiang thought that the queen would gradually get better, but she didn't expect that the queen died within two days after returning to the palace.

However, the maids who served the queen at the beginning and were sent to Yaotai Temple all died one after another, and only the timid and vigilant Rue Xiang survived.

Not long ago at Yaotai Temple, she ran into Xiao Yuan who was worshiping the late queen, so she found a place where no one was there, and told Xiao Yuan all about what had happened to the queen. Jieyu happened to come to Yaotai Temple and collided with Xiao Yuan.

Xiao Yuan was furious, thinking that his respectful and loving mother was treated like this, so he even made a move on Chen Jieyu.

He was born in martial arts, that slap made Chen Jieyu dizzy, she could only hear Xiao Yuan scolding her for being a shameless slut, she was angry and ashamed, and she was able to retrieve it under the protection of her personal maid. With one life, he left Yaotai Temple in a panic and returned to the palace.

Then, I don't know what Chen Jieyu said in front of Xiao Boxu, but within an hour, the emperor's imperial decree to reprimand Xiao Yuan for confinement was issued.

But Xiao Yuan seemed to have regained his senses, kept his mouth shut, and did not complain for himself, but let the imperial army take him back to Prince Qing's Mansion.

After listening to Yun Xiang's eloquence, Gu Junci clenched his fists and was furious, but he couldn't be impulsive. If he was impulsive now, he might not be able to save Xiao Yuan, and would be used by the prince and others.

"Then who is the nanny who wants to kill you?" Gu Jun asked.

Yun Xiang choked and said, "It's... Chen Jieyu's people. Of course, when His Royal Highness Prince Qing and Chen Jieyu fought, the slaves were there, so..."

"That's why they want to kill people to silence them." Gu Junci looked at her, "How can I believe that everything you said is true? The nanny who wanted to kill you alone can't prove that the concubine had an affair with the prince. It is even more difficult to clean up the grievances of King Qing, you can understand."

Rue Xiang looked at Gu Junci in astonishment. It has been almost two years since the queen passed away, and the crown prince and Chen Jieyu only heard their conversations during their private meeting. As for this evidence, there is no way to produce it.

At this moment, Gu Junci suddenly understood why Xiao Yuan kept his mouth shut. After all, he hadn't obtained the proof yet, so suing the prince and the favored concubines like this would only make him even more displeased with the emperor.

Suddenly, Yunxiang seemed to think of something, looked at Gu Junci in surprise and said:

"My lord protector, this servant has come to think of it, that nanny, she must know the inside story, as long as the lord protector interrogates her, she will definitely recruit her."

Gu Junci got up and flicked his sleeves, and said seriously: "Yuxiang, you stay at the Taoist priest's house first, show her to me, and I will find a way to get her to recruit."

Yun Xiang kowtowed and saluted, watching Gu Junci leave the inner hall and go to the front yard.

Seeing Gu Jun's resignation, the Daoist rushed up to meet him and asked, "What did the Lord Protector ask?"

Gu Junci was stunned with a cold face, and it took a long time before he said: "Bring me a basin of water, I want to wash my face."

The Taoist priest didn't ask in detail, but ordered the little Taoist boy to fetch water, and after Gu Junci washed his face, he saw that his complexion had recovered.

"I'm going to visit Prince Qing's Mansion. The two people I brought with me are asking Taoist priest to watch over me and wait for me to come back." Gu Junci said.

Daoist priest: "Guo Hugong, let's go, no one dares to come in the courtyard of the poor Taoist."

Gu Junci cupped his fists in salute to him, and then walked out of the gate in a grand manner, heading straight to Prince Qing's mansion.

If it was as usual, Gu Jun resigned and went to Prince Qing's Mansion, but now the emperor ordered him to be under house arrest, and the imperial guards guarded the gate, even if the Lord Protector came, they would not let him in.

Gu Junci himself was aware of this situation, so he didn't intend to go through the main entrance, but used the same method to enter Yaotai Temple, entered the house next to Prince Qing's Mansion, and climbed from the roof to Prince Qing's Mansion.

The scenery and furnishings in the palace are the same as before, but the palace is not as lively as before, except for the gardeners and sweeping servants in the palace, even the soldiers of the palace have withdrawn.

Gu Junci went straight to the courtyard where Xiao Yuan lived, but he didn't want to see Xiao Yuan sitting by the pond from a distance, fishing with a fishing rod.

I thought that this imprisoned person would definitely be sad and sad in the mansion, but he didn't think that he still had time to fish, so it was really useless to worry.

Gu Junci rolled his eyes, turned around and bumped into the maid who brought tea and snacks.

"Duke Protector calm down." The servant girl hurriedly exclaimed.

Gu Junci was puzzled: "I haven't been here for a long time, how do you still know me?"

The servant girl's cheeks were slightly red, and she glanced at him furtively: "The Lord Protector has a tall and straight figure, and there is no one else in the court like this."

Gu Junci didn't know whether to laugh or get angry for a while, he just asked the maid to prepare refreshments again, while he himself walked towards Xiao Yuan.

It was rare that Xiao Yuan kept holding the fishing rod, and did not look back at him.

"I'm back." Xiao Yuan said softly, but his tone couldn't hide his joy, but after looking sideways at Gu Junci's beggar's attire, he immediately froze, "What kind of attire is this? I'm out of money?"
