Gu Min waited for a whole day at Lanyue Zhai, but he didn't wait for the emperor's order to go to Yongle Palace, but he waited for the eunuch who was in charge of the empress dowager to send him to Shou'an Palace for questioning.
Gu Min followed the eunuch who sent the message to the gate of Shou'an Palace. It happened that Concubine Feng and Queen Qi came out of the palace and met Gu Min.
Concubine Feng's original intention was just to see what this Gu Shaojun, who was so fascinated by the emperor and even dared to contradict the queen mother, looked like. After seeing Gu Min's face, Concubine Feng was slightly stunned.
Strange, why does Gu Shaojun's eyes look so familiar to her?It was as if she had seen it somewhere, but because she only had a quick glance, she couldn't remember who looked exactly like anyone she had seen in her memory.
But Concubine Feng soon felt relieved. It is still unknown whether she will be able to come out of Shouan Palace alive today. Does it matter who she looks like?
Concubine Feng turned her head to look at the solemn and solemn gate of Shou'an Palace, her beautiful face changed from the pitiful one just now, to a gloomy and sneering look.
This Gu Shaojun was indeed handsome and extraordinary, but it's a pity that that woman is sinister and vicious, and she will never let the emperor be at the mercy of anyone other than her.
Gu Min lowered his head and followed the eunuchs into the Shou'an Palace. The Shou'an Palace was completely silent, and even the breathing of the maids and eunuchs could not be heard.
The eunuch sent a message: "Queen Mother, Gu Shaojun has arrived."
Gu Min straightened his back and bowed his waist forward to salute, bowed deeply and said, "Your servant, Gu Min, may the queen mother be in peace with her phoenix body."
Empress Dowager Liu's majestic voice sounded: "Raise your head and let the Ai family take a look."
Gu Min raised his head as he said, to show respect, but his eyes were downcast, looking at the black and cold floor tiles under his feet.
Empress Dowager Liu cast her sharp eyes on Gu Min's face, "Where are you from? Who are your parents? What do you do at home?"
Gu Min: "Reporting to the Empress Dowager, I live in Minyang, my parents have passed away in the early years, and now I am the only one left in the family."
Empress Dowager Liu said coldly: "You said you are from Minyang? Then why don't you speak with a Minyang accent but a capital accent? Aijia sees that you are lying! Tell me, who are you, and who sent you in?" The palace deceives the emperor?"
Gu Min: "I dare not lie to the Empress Dowager. I did live in the capital when I was young, but later my family suffered a sudden change and my relatives were separated. I moved to Minyang and have been living in Minyang ever since."
Empress Dowager Liu kept staring at Gu Min's face, trying to find flaws in his face.
But when Gu Min said that he was originally from the capital city and went to Minyang after his family was in trouble, and that he was the only one left in the family earlier, Empress Dowager Liu's heart jumped suddenly, as if from Gu Min's picture. As if seeing something unbelievable on his face, his eyes gradually became deeply inquiring.
Empress Dowager Liu waited for Gu Min to finish speaking, and said, "You raise your eyes too."
Gu Min slowly raised his eyelids, and met Empress Dowager Liu's eyes. When Empress Dowager Liu saw Gu Min's eyes, her face suddenly changed.
Empress Dowager Liu stared at Gu Min, and asked anxiously, "You said your surname is Gu? Gu Min?"
Gu Min: "Yes."
Empress Dowager Liu: "Who gave you the name?"
Gu Min: "I took it myself."
Doubt appeared in Empress Dowager Liu's eyes, and she asked again: "Then your father's surname is also Gu?"
"No," Gu Min said clearly, "my father's surname is Xu."
Empress Dowager Liu seemed greatly surprised, her body shook, and she involuntarily stretched her hand to the side to hold the handle of the chair, but accidentally knocked down the teacup on the table.
The water in the teacup flowed down and wet Empress Dowager Liu's dress, but she didn't seem to care about it at all. It was the maid next to her who reminded Empress Dowager Liu that she woke up and stood up.
Immediately, a court lady came to wipe the clothes and skirts of Empress Dowager Liu, but she was pushed away impatiently by Empress Dowager Liu, "Everyone go down, no one is allowed to enter Shou'an Palace without the order of Aijia!"
When the palace maids and eunuchs had left and the palace door was closed, Empress Dowager Liu suddenly slapped her hand on the table hard, with a serious expression on her face, she asked Gu Min in a deep voice, "Who the hell are you!"
Gu Min's face remained unchanged, he raised his hem and knelt down, nodded, and said calmly: "I was taken care of by the queen mother when I was young, so I escaped from death and saved my life. I have always remembered the kindness of the queen mother to me in my heart all these years. , I dare not forget, I am here today to thank the Empress Dowager for saving her life!"
Empress Dowager Liu seemed to have expected it, so after hearing what Gu Min said, her expression was not as surprised as it was at the beginning, she just murmured: "It really is you, it is you..." Suddenly, her expression turned cold, cold He asked in a low voice, "Since you know that you are narrowly escaped, you should spare your life and stay in Minyang forever. Why do you want to return to Beijing?"
Gu Min straightened his upper body and said unhurriedly: "When I was rescued by the Queen Mother, King Pingyang brought me back to Minyang to raise him. King Pingyang is my adoptive father. Now he was imprisoned unjustly. The whole family is in danger, as a son of man, out of love and righteousness, I should do my best to rescue them, so I have no choice but to return to Beijing."
Empress Dowager Liu hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Then why did you enter the palace and become the emperor's male favourite?"
A wry smile appeared on the corner of Gu Min's mouth, and said: "I am alone and helpless in the capital, how can I rehabilitate my adoptive father by myself? I have no choice but to hear that the emperor often goes to Anjun's mansion these days, so I thought of pretending to be a male favorite to sneak into the palace." Enter the Prince's Mansion of An County, so as to get close to the method of the emperor to avenge the righteous father. Everything I said is true, and there is absolutely no half a word of falsehood, please be aware of the Queen Mother!"
Gu Min did not choose to tell the Queen Mother the fact that Guo Jiuchen arranged for him to assassinate the emperor, even though he knew that the matter was most likely ordered by the Queen Mother, because speaking out would be tantamount to betraying Guo Jiuchen. better off.
Empress Dowager Liu's eyes flickered after hearing this, she didn't expect that the person Guo Jiuchen arranged to assassinate the emperor and frame the king of Anjun would be Gu Min, what kind of coincidence is this?
"Whether there is any falsehood, the Ai family will find out in the future." Empress Dowager Liu said calmly, "But it is a fact that King Pingyang has a conspiracy. I can also understand your desire to save King Pingyang and repay the kindness of your upbringing, so I won’t hold you accountable this time, and the Ai family will arrange for you to leave the palace immediately, and if something happens again, the Ai family will never forgive you lightly!”
Gu Min folded his hands and raised his eyebrows, looked at Empress Dowager Liu firmly, and said forcefully, "The Empress Dowager Rong said, the adoptive father is absolutely loyal to the court, to you and the emperor, and has no intention of treason! It is because this time I went to Beijing to meet, I did not give Du Shoufu a gift like other vassal kings, so I was framed by Du Shoufu and rebellious, Empress Dowager, King Pingyang was wronged, please investigate clearly!"
Empress Dowager Liu shook her sleeves impatiently and said: "Enough! Du Shoufu is an important minister in the court, how can you allow you to slander like this! Gu Shaojun, for the sake of friendship with your biological father, the Ai family will not agree with you today. Don't worry about it, if you are still stubborn, don't blame Aijia for not remembering the old love!"
Gu Min's expression did not change, and he said fearlessly: "Queen, if the subject can prove King Pingyang's loyalty, can the queen make a difference and order a retrial of the case?"
Empress Dowager Liu sneered disdainfully, "You are not the roundworm in King Pingyang's stomach. How do you know whether he is loyal or not? How can you prove it?"
Gu Min took out something from his sleeve, put his hands in front of the Queen Mother, lowered his eyes and said respectfully: "This is a military amulet to mobilize 20 elite soldiers in the territory under the jurisdiction of the Pingyang Palace. I will present it to the Queen Mother on behalf of the Pingyang King. From now on, the entire Pingyang Palace will be at your disposal." The empress dowager dispatched, so it may prove the loyalty of King Pingyang?"
Empress Dowager Liu half-believingly took the soldier talisman from Gu Min's hand, and took a closer look. What Gu Min presented was indeed a real soldier talisman.
However, Empress Dowager Liu still did not let go, she put the military talisman on the table, and said ungratefully: "The troops under the jurisdiction of the vassal kings all over the country have to obey the dispatch of the imperial court. Could it be that without this military talisman, the 20 army of King Pingyang would rebel?" ?”
"Don't dare." Gu Min said, "But the other vassal kings may be loyal to the imperial court, but the Pingyang Palace will only be loyal to the Queen Mother from now on."
Empress Dowager Liu frowned twice, and her expression showed signs of loosening. She looked at Gu Min with deep eyes, "What guarantee do you use?"
Gu Min raised his head, looked straight at the queen mother with a frank expression, and said, "Use this minister's head! Although the queen mother can keep the minister as a hostage, it is equivalent to holding the ironclad evidence of King Pingyang's protection of traitors, so the entire Pingyang palace Your life and death are all under the control of the Empress Dowager, how dare King Pingyang be unfaithful to you?"
Empress Dowager Liu looked at Gu Min who was standing in front of her, talking eloquently. His tall and straight figure was like a green pine and verdant cypress. There was a moment of trance.
"You really look like your father, with your eloquence and demeanor, you can tell you are his son at a glance."
Gu Min said indifferently: "When my father left, I was only seven years old, and I can hardly remember what my father looked like."
Empress Dowager Liu looked into Gu Min's eyes, and there was a little smile on the corner of her mouth: "Your eyes look very similar to his. My child, if you are running around complaining for King Pingyang, have you ever thought that your Xu family may also be wronged?" where?"
Gu Min glanced at Empress Dowager Liu, and then looked away, "I named myself 'Gu Min', just to remind myself that I am only able to live in this world because of God's mercy and benefactor's favor, and I should always be grateful , the righteous father gave the minister the word "Junshu", also to ask the minister to let go of the past and live according to his heart. As for the crimes committed by the Xu family, the Sri Lankan has passed away, and the minister no longer wants to pursue the right and wrong. Now the minister only wants to Repay the kindness of the adoptive father and the queen mother well, and be a loyal and filial person with no regrets in your heart."
After hearing this, Empress Dowager Liu admired Gu Minpo in her eyes. She nodded and praised with a smile, "He is a good boy with love and righteousness. I understand your loyalty to Aijia. As for the case of King Pingyang , since the emperor has ordered a retrial by Beizhen Fusi, then Aijia will be accepted for the sake of the emperor. Well, Aijia is also exhausted today, so you can go back first."
Gu Min couldn't hide his joy and gratitude, and saluted, "Thank you Queen Mother for your kindness! That minister will take his leave."
When Gu Min left the Shouan Palace, an old eunuch wearing the uniform of a high-ranking eunuch suddenly came out from the inner hall of the Shou'an Palace. But what was different from other high-ranking eunuchs was that his eunuch uniform was embroidered on the chest. The four-clawed golden python, and in the entire palace, only one eunuch can receive this honor.
Empress Dowager Liu picked up the military talisman on the table again, looked at it in her hand, and said to Guo Jiuchen who came over, "I'm afraid you would never have imagined that the person you sent to assassinate the emperor would be Xu Wenjie's son?"
Guo Jiuchen glanced at the direction Gu Min left, "Does the Queen Mother believe what he said?"
Empress Dowager Liu squinted at him: "He said a lot, which one did you ask?"
Guo Jiuchen smiled, and the wrinkles on his forehead squeezed out into a deep crease, "Naturally, it means that he has let go of the past and doesn't want to pursue the Xu family's extermination case."
"If you want to pursue it, you have to have evidence." Empress Dowager Liu raised her hand and fiddled with the jewels on the hairpin on her bun. The people in the family are also dead, and all the people who were involved in that incident have disappeared. You said it yourself, and you did this incident cleanly without leaving any clues. In this case, he is just a brat , still have the ability to find out the truth?"
"That being said, the old minister still feels a little uneasy." Guo Jiuchen said cautiously, "This is Xu Wenjie's son."
Empress Dowager Liu removed the bracelet from her wrist, turned it casually in her hand, and said with a sneer, "So what? Back then, the Ai family was soft-hearted and let the child down. Now that I think about it, this may be fate, Xu Wenjie His son turned out to be a dog loyal to the Ai family, is there anything more satisfying than this? Xu Wenjie owes the Ai family his son to repay."
Guo Jiuchen sighed, "It's been so many years, it seems that the Queen Mother still hasn't let go of what happened back then."
"Okay, the Ai family didn't come here to catch up with you." Empress Dowager Liu interrupted Guo Jiuchen impatiently, "Since King Pingyang has handed over the soldier talisman, let Jin Yiwei release him in a few days. As for this Gu Sorry, didn't the emperor send him the job of commanding the guards in Jin Yiwei? Now that everyone is under your command, you should keep an eye on Ai's family. The emperor favors him now and listens to him in everything. Gu Min is tantamount to controlling the emperor, and saves the Ai family from going to great lengths to guard against Prince An's gang of clansmen who want to seize power."
Guo Jiuchen looked intently at Empress Dowager Liu, who was determined not to lose to a man. When Empress Liu finished speaking, he lowered his head in time to hide the flash of obsession in his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "I understand."
—
Shen Ying, who was punished to kneel in the Baohua Palace at this moment, didn't know that Gu Min had already left the Shouan Palace, not only was she unscathed, but she also gained the trust of the Queen Mother, and suddenly became a member of the Queen Mother's Party.
And the queen mother was also really angry because Shen Ying blatantly contradicted her, and she didn't pass on the decree until the next morning to go to Baohua Palace to avoid Shen Ying's punishment.
Shen Ying just knelt in Baohua Hall all night.
Of course, it is impossible for him to kneel there in a proper manner, and the tablet on the shelf is not the real ancestor.
The next morning, Shen Ying was sleeping soundly on the futon, when he was half asleep, he suddenly felt someone pushing him from behind, opened his eyes dimly, Shen Ying turned his head to look back, and muttered: "Who is it? gone."
"Zhaoxi, wake up, where is this place to sleep? Don't catch a cold."
Shen Ying rubbed her eyes, and saw clearly the face of the person squatting above his head. He didn't know a man, and he was good-looking. Judging by the clothes he was wearing, he should not be an eunuch.
Shen Ying asked, "Who are you?"
The man laughed and said: "Are you sleepy, you don't even know me?"
Shen Ying rolled her eyes, remembering that the man just called him "Zhaoxi", those two words were the name of the little emperor, and there are not many people in this world who dare to call the emperor by his name, as far as he knows, one of them is It's the little emperor's cousin, that is, the "like-minded" king of An Jun who likes to indulge in sex and sex with the little emperor.
Shen Ying asked tentatively, "Shen Xuan?"
King Anjun smiled and said: "Remember?"
King An was not older than the little emperor by a few days, and when they were studying in Chunhui Hall, the two were the best friends, probably because King An never looked down on Shen Ying's birth mother because of his humble background and was not loved by Emperor Gaozong, so even Shen Ying later After enthroned as emperor, they don't call each other privately as monarch and minister, but only call you and me to show their closeness.
Shen Ying was woken up early in the morning, didn't get enough sleep, and felt unhappy, "Why are you here?"
King An didn't think the ground was dirty, so he lifted up his clothes and sat cross-legged on the ground, "I heard that you were punished by the queen mother to kneel again. I was worried that you would be bored alone in Baohua Palace, so I came to see you, but," He saw a few crumpled scripts under Shen Ying's body, as well as the peel and melon shells on the ground, and said with a smile, "You don't seem to be very boring. I said, Your Majesty, this place is also for ancestral tablets anyway." Place, you are eating melon seeds and reading scripts, so you are not respectful to your ancestors, right?"
"What do you know?" Shen Ying yawned, "The old ancestors are tired of listening to the scriptures and Buddha. I read them the scriptures all night, and it's too late for them to be happy."
King An laughed loudly, "Obviously the old ancestor is about to be pissed off by you!"
Shen Ying waved her hand, "Stop talking nonsense, do you have anything else to do? Just leave if you have nothing to do, don't disturb my sleep."
King An patted Shen Ying on the shoulder, "Don't sleep, it's already a hot day. By the way, I heard that you offended the Queen Mother because you favored the male favorite who was taken away from my house a few days ago." You are punished to kneel here, aren't you?"
Shen Ying said lazily: "Yeah, what's wrong?"
King Anjun sighed and said, "Hey, it's just a male favorite, why do you make the queen mother angry for him? identity of."
Shen Ying turned over and lay on her side, propped her head on her elbows, and looked at King An: "What exactly do you want to say?"
King An Jun gave him a mysterious smile, suddenly raised his hand and clapped his hands twice, and then two slender eunuchs came in from outside the screen, walked up to Shen Ying and knelt down to pay his respects, raised his head to look at his face, they were both A handsome and handsome look.
King An Jun pointed at the two men triumphantly and said: "These two are beauties I specially brought back from the south of the Yangtze River. They were raised and trained in the inner house since they were young. Sing Nanqu, let them serve you here to relieve your boredom."
Shen Ying looked at King An speechlessly, this guy said just now that he disrespected his ancestors, now he brought two male pets here, and ran to the ancestral ancestral hall to look for it. Is it respect to the ancestors to have fun?
"You are really talented."
King An Jun said complacently: "Wherever it is, it is the duty of the minister to share the worries of the emperor. There are many beauties who are sensible and docile in the world. No matter how much the emperor wants, as long as one sentence is enough, I, as an older brother, can do it." Find it for you!"
Shen Ying listened to King An's flattery without saying a word, glanced outside inadvertently, and suddenly noticed a figure behind the screen that looked familiar, unlike other eunuchs who were used to bowing their heads and holding their chests, judging from their body shape... It seems to be Gu Min?
correct!Last night, there was no news from the Shouan Palace that the Queen Mother had done anything to Gu Min. So, did Gu Min really walk out of the Shouan Palace unharmed?
sure!There are two brushes!He didn't miss it!
Shen Ying was refreshed, and immediately got up from the ground, and interrupted King An with a righteous face: "Stop talking, take these messy people away! I already have Junshu, and there will be no more in my eyes." Tolerate the people next to me, not only that, I also want to dismiss the harem for Junshu, not to mention the queen mother, even the king of heaven, Lao Tzu, the Jade Emperor, can't stop us from being together! From now on, I will only spoil him!"
King An Jun was still sitting on the ground, raising his head stupidly, looking at the emperor who suddenly made a declaration of love inexplicably, "Zhaoxi, what's wrong with you? You haven't woken up yet, have you?"
The author has something to say:
Shen Ying: You can never wake up a person who pretends to be asleep.
Gu Min lifted the quilt: Then my chance has come.
Shen Ying:? ? ?
Gu Min followed the eunuch who sent the message to the gate of Shou'an Palace. It happened that Concubine Feng and Queen Qi came out of the palace and met Gu Min.
Concubine Feng's original intention was just to see what this Gu Shaojun, who was so fascinated by the emperor and even dared to contradict the queen mother, looked like. After seeing Gu Min's face, Concubine Feng was slightly stunned.
Strange, why does Gu Shaojun's eyes look so familiar to her?It was as if she had seen it somewhere, but because she only had a quick glance, she couldn't remember who looked exactly like anyone she had seen in her memory.

The eunuch sent a message: "Queen Mother, Gu Shaojun has arrived."

Gu Min: "I took it myself."

"No," Gu Min said clearly, "my father's surname is Xu."
Empress Dowager Liu seemed greatly surprised, her body shook, and she involuntarily stretched her hand to the side to hold the handle of the chair, but accidentally knocked down the teacup on the table.

Gu Min couldn't hide his joy and gratitude, and saluted, "Thank you Queen Mother for your kindness! That minister will take his leave."
When Gu Min left the Shouan Palace, an old eunuch wearing the uniform of a high-ranking eunuch suddenly came out from the inner hall of the Shou'an Palace. But what was different from other high-ranking eunuchs was that his eunuch uniform was embroidered on the chest. The four-clawed golden python, and in the entire palace, only one eunuch can receive this honor.
Empress Dowager Liu picked up the military talisman on the table again, looked at it in her hand, and said to Guo Jiuchen who came over, "I'm afraid you would never have imagined that the person you sent to assassinate the emperor would be Xu Wenjie's son?"
Guo Jiuchen glanced at the direction Gu Min left, "Does the Queen Mother believe what he said?"
Empress Dowager Liu squinted at him: "He said a lot, which one did you ask?"
Guo Jiuchen smiled, and the wrinkles on his forehead squeezed out into a deep crease, "Naturally, it means that he has let go of the past and doesn't want to pursue the Xu family's extermination case."
"If you want to pursue it, you have to have evidence." Empress Dowager Liu raised her hand and fiddled with the jewels on the hairpin on her bun. The people in the family are also dead, and all the people who were involved in that incident have disappeared. You said it yourself, and you did this incident cleanly without leaving any clues. In this case, he is just a brat , still have the ability to find out the truth?"
"That being said, the old minister still feels a little uneasy." Guo Jiuchen said cautiously, "This is Xu Wenjie's son."
Empress Dowager Liu removed the bracelet from her wrist, turned it casually in her hand, and said with a sneer, "So what? Back then, the Ai family was soft-hearted and let the child down. Now that I think about it, this may be fate, Xu Wenjie His son turned out to be a dog loyal to the Ai family, is there anything more satisfying than this? Xu Wenjie owes the Ai family his son to repay."
Guo Jiuchen sighed, "It's been so many years, it seems that the Queen Mother still hasn't let go of what happened back then."
"Okay, the Ai family didn't come here to catch up with you." Empress Dowager Liu interrupted Guo Jiuchen impatiently, "Since King Pingyang has handed over the soldier talisman, let Jin Yiwei release him in a few days. As for this Gu Sorry, didn't the emperor send him the job of commanding the guards in Jin Yiwei? Now that everyone is under your command, you should keep an eye on Ai's family. The emperor favors him now and listens to him in everything. Gu Min is tantamount to controlling the emperor, and saves the Ai family from going to great lengths to guard against Prince An's gang of clansmen who want to seize power."
Guo Jiuchen looked intently at Empress Dowager Liu, who was determined not to lose to a man. When Empress Liu finished speaking, he lowered his head in time to hide the flash of obsession in his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "I understand."
—
Shen Ying, who was punished to kneel in the Baohua Palace at this moment, didn't know that Gu Min had already left the Shouan Palace, not only was she unscathed, but she also gained the trust of the Queen Mother, and suddenly became a member of the Queen Mother's Party.
And the queen mother was also really angry because Shen Ying blatantly contradicted her, and she didn't pass on the decree until the next morning to go to Baohua Palace to avoid Shen Ying's punishment.
Shen Ying just knelt in Baohua Hall all night.
Of course, it is impossible for him to kneel there in a proper manner, and the tablet on the shelf is not the real ancestor.
The next morning, Shen Ying was sleeping soundly on the futon, when he was half asleep, he suddenly felt someone pushing him from behind, opened his eyes dimly, Shen Ying turned his head to look back, and muttered: "Who is it? gone."
"Zhaoxi, wake up, where is this place to sleep? Don't catch a cold."
Shen Ying rubbed her eyes, and saw clearly the face of the person squatting above his head. He didn't know a man, and he was good-looking. Judging by the clothes he was wearing, he should not be an eunuch.
Shen Ying asked, "Who are you?"
The man laughed and said: "Are you sleepy, you don't even know me?"
Shen Ying rolled her eyes, remembering that the man just called him "Zhaoxi", those two words were the name of the little emperor, and there are not many people in this world who dare to call the emperor by his name, as far as he knows, one of them is It's the little emperor's cousin, that is, the "like-minded" king of An Jun who likes to indulge in sex and sex with the little emperor.
Shen Ying asked tentatively, "Shen Xuan?"
King Anjun smiled and said: "Remember?"
King An was not older than the little emperor by a few days, and when they were studying in Chunhui Hall, the two were the best friends, probably because King An never looked down on Shen Ying's birth mother because of his humble background and was not loved by Emperor Gaozong, so even Shen Ying later After enthroned as emperor, they don't call each other privately as monarch and minister, but only call you and me to show their closeness.
Shen Ying was woken up early in the morning, didn't get enough sleep, and felt unhappy, "Why are you here?"
King An didn't think the ground was dirty, so he lifted up his clothes and sat cross-legged on the ground, "I heard that you were punished by the queen mother to kneel again. I was worried that you would be bored alone in Baohua Palace, so I came to see you, but," He saw a few crumpled scripts under Shen Ying's body, as well as the peel and melon shells on the ground, and said with a smile, "You don't seem to be very boring. I said, Your Majesty, this place is also for ancestral tablets anyway." Place, you are eating melon seeds and reading scripts, so you are not respectful to your ancestors, right?"
"What do you know?" Shen Ying yawned, "The old ancestors are tired of listening to the scriptures and Buddha. I read them the scriptures all night, and it's too late for them to be happy."
King An laughed loudly, "Obviously the old ancestor is about to be pissed off by you!"
Shen Ying waved her hand, "Stop talking nonsense, do you have anything else to do? Just leave if you have nothing to do, don't disturb my sleep."
King An patted Shen Ying on the shoulder, "Don't sleep, it's already a hot day. By the way, I heard that you offended the Queen Mother because you favored the male favorite who was taken away from my house a few days ago." You are punished to kneel here, aren't you?"
Shen Ying said lazily: "Yeah, what's wrong?"
King Anjun sighed and said, "Hey, it's just a male favorite, why do you make the queen mother angry for him? identity of."
Shen Ying turned over and lay on her side, propped her head on her elbows, and looked at King An: "What exactly do you want to say?"
King An Jun gave him a mysterious smile, suddenly raised his hand and clapped his hands twice, and then two slender eunuchs came in from outside the screen, walked up to Shen Ying and knelt down to pay his respects, raised his head to look at his face, they were both A handsome and handsome look.
King An Jun pointed at the two men triumphantly and said: "These two are beauties I specially brought back from the south of the Yangtze River. They were raised and trained in the inner house since they were young. Sing Nanqu, let them serve you here to relieve your boredom."
Shen Ying looked at King An speechlessly, this guy said just now that he disrespected his ancestors, now he brought two male pets here, and ran to the ancestral ancestral hall to look for it. Is it respect to the ancestors to have fun?
"You are really talented."
King An Jun said complacently: "Wherever it is, it is the duty of the minister to share the worries of the emperor. There are many beauties who are sensible and docile in the world. No matter how much the emperor wants, as long as one sentence is enough, I, as an older brother, can do it." Find it for you!"
Shen Ying listened to King An's flattery without saying a word, glanced outside inadvertently, and suddenly noticed a figure behind the screen that looked familiar, unlike other eunuchs who were used to bowing their heads and holding their chests, judging from their body shape... It seems to be Gu Min?
correct!Last night, there was no news from the Shouan Palace that the Queen Mother had done anything to Gu Min. So, did Gu Min really walk out of the Shouan Palace unharmed?
sure!There are two brushes!He didn't miss it!
Shen Ying was refreshed, and immediately got up from the ground, and interrupted King An with a righteous face: "Stop talking, take these messy people away! I already have Junshu, and there will be no more in my eyes." Tolerate the people next to me, not only that, I also want to dismiss the harem for Junshu, not to mention the queen mother, even the king of heaven, Lao Tzu, the Jade Emperor, can't stop us from being together! From now on, I will only spoil him!"
King An Jun was still sitting on the ground, raising his head stupidly, looking at the emperor who suddenly made a declaration of love inexplicably, "Zhaoxi, what's wrong with you? You haven't woken up yet, have you?"
The author has something to say:
Shen Ying: You can never wake up a person who pretends to be asleep.
Gu Min lifted the quilt: Then my chance has come.
Shen Ying:? ? ?
