The abandoned wife of the noble family, she is Black Heart Lotus

For others, being summoned by the Queen Mother was a matter of great honor to one's ancestors, but for Gu Deyin, this event was more of a surprise than a joy.

She tried hard to think about it, but she didn't expect that she had caught the attention of this noble man, and that he would announce her to the palace for the first time?

Finally, I thought of the decree of Heli, which was given by Xiao Mingzhang.

Then I thought of the two or three unspeakable things that were rumored about Queen Mother Qi and the Regent. Could it be that the disaster started from here?

Yes, yes, that should be it.

When she thought of this, she couldn't laugh or cry. She really couldn't have her cake and eat it too.

That's all, it's useless for her to think about it any more.

Eunuch Zhang on the side saw Gu Deyin stunned in place, thinking that she was extremely happy, so he smiled and said a few words of relief.

"Miss Gu doesn't need to be so nervous. It's just that when I returned home last time, my uncle came to the palace and wanted to ask for a peace decree for the girl. The empress said that he could only make this decree after meeting Miss Gu. But it was no coincidence that the regent gave it first. Considering Miss Gu’s wishes, the empress wants to see the girl even more.”

When Gu Deyin heard Eunuch Zhang finish explaining the whole story, she couldn't help but secretly resent Qi Jin for meddling in her own business. She kept saying that he didn't need his help in the matter of reconciliation, but it was better for him to cause trouble for her.

But she still pretended to be relieved on her face, "So that's it, then I have to thank Uncle Guo properly, and of course I have to thank Eunuch Zhang properly."

After saying that, she asked Butler Gu to get a large banknote and give it directly to Eunuch Zhang as a thank you gift.

Eunuch Zhang glanced at the amount on the banknote and immediately accepted it with a smile. This daughter of the Gu family knew that he had spoken kind words for her in front of the Queen Mother.

Gu Deyin couldn't help but look worried while the old eunuch was happy.

"Father, you know that I was born as a merchant girl. Three years after marrying into the Xu family, I didn't get a chance to go to the palace. I have never seen such a big scene. I need to give you more advice from my father-in-law. .”

"It's easy to talk to. Miss Gu, there is no need to worry. Our family has a close relationship with the Gu family, and we will never let you be wronged when the time comes."

Eunuch Zhang rubbed his hands as he spoke.

Gu Deyin understood and sent another wave of banknotes, which temporarily satisfied Eunuch Zhang's appetite.

She took the opportunity to change into decent clothes and prepared to go into the palace to see Qi Meizhi, but she still kept it in mind and secretly asked Hua Shu to sneak out through the back door to find Princess Yuanjia.

She wasn't sure whether she could just go through the motions with Qi Meizhi, so it would be better to get some reinforcements for herself first.

After all, this matter started because of Qi Jinzhi. If she was Qi Jinzhi, she would definitely feel unhappy when she heard what her brother asked for. This is human nature.

The only one to blame was Qi Jinzhi. What did he mean by inserting his foot in?

She was irritated and angry, but she still dressed up and went out to see Eunuch Zhang, and entered the palace with him with a cheerful face.

Although she had been to this precious place in her previous life, she still had a lot of respect for the palace. She did not look around along the way, but followed Eunuch Zhang in an orderly manner, fearing that someone would catch her sore leg and take advantage of the opportunity to do something evil.

People's hearts are separated from the belly, so we have to guard against it.

After finally reaching Kunning Palace, Eunuch Zhang asked her to wait outside. She nodded and stood obediently.

She would not be so arrogant as to think she could fight against the Queen Mother in this place, so she would rather be careful than make any mistakes.

Qi Meizhi was sitting on the Arhat bed near the window. Through the gap in the window, she could see Gu Deyin, who was standing in the corridor.

She squinted her eyes and looked Gu Deyin up and down, trying to find anything bad about him.

But, this woman is indeed a beauty.

She has a beautiful face and a figure that is either fatter or thinner. No matter how you look at her, she is a charming beauty. However, her clothes are too conventional. The clothes are made of good fabrics but the color is inconspicuous. This makes her look The beauty is compromised.

Apart from being good-looking, in her opinion, Gu Deyin was a lackluster woman in other aspects.

I don’t know what her brother sees in her?

But with such appearance and behavior, she thought that Xiao Mingzhang would not be attracted by ordinary people. After all, she had never seen any kind of beauty like him. If she wanted to be attracted by him, she would have been attracted by it long ago. It was not the turn of an ordinary businesswoman.

Eunuch Zhang on the side looked at the Queen Mother who seemed a little happy, so he took the opportunity to say. "Your Majesty, this daughter of the Gu family has been waiting in the corridor for some time. Do you want to announce her to come in and see her?"

Qi Meizhi took a slow sip of tea and glanced sideways at Eunuch Zhang.

"What's the rush? Let her wait first. Tell me, how much money did you, an old eunuch, receive from others?"

Eunuch Zhang chuckled and said, "I am not able to get some benefits by borrowing your help."

Qi Meizhi reached out and tapped Eunuch Zhang, but he wasn't angry at all. In the palace, this kind of trick was too common.

Eunuch Zhang was very good at observing faces. He stepped forward and beat Qi Meizhi's legs. Instead of saying good things for Gu Deyin, he started to flatter Qi Meizhi.

In short, he made Qi Meizhi quite happy.

Gu Deyin, who had been waiting in the corridor, was not upset or impatient now. After all, she was not expecting to be so ignored.

At this moment, she was more patient, and Qi Meizhi couldn't just leave her alone all the time.

Even if she heard laughter coming from the hall, she still stood there with neither humility nor arrogance.

Qi Meizhi looked through the gap in the window again, and this time she had to praise Gu Deyin for his good judgment. Thinking that she had just divorced, she could only say that the Xu family had no discernment and could not keep such a daughter-in-law.

"Is the Xu family's case not settled yet?"

Hearing the Queen Mother's question, Eunuch Zhang quickly said.

"It's still under review. There is no final conclusion yet. However, there are many accusations against Marquis Xuanning for disregarding human life, unhealthy family tradition, and poor education of his children. All of them were ignored by the regent."

Qi Meizhi frowned. This was unreasonable. How could anyone still not understand it after so many days of interrogation?

It's just that she, the Queen Mother, does not have the power to rule in court, so she has no right to interfere in political affairs. She is quite dissatisfied, but there is nothing she can do about it.

Before her son has fully grown up, she has to endure it and cannot give others any excuses.

This is why she is eager to win over Xiao Mingzhang. If she can pull him into her bed, then she can stabilize the situation and at least delay Xiao Mingzhang's steps to become emperor.

She still didn't believe that he wouldn't have such ambition.

It's a pity that Xiao Mingzhang was very wary of her and made her keep flirting with the blind man.

It's really abominable! hateful!

Eunuch Zhang didn't dare to talk anymore now. If the Queen Mother's mood was wrong, everyone would have to stay away.

"Then the Gu family's daughter has been waiting for a long time. Let's announce her entrance into the palace."

Hearing this, Eunuch Zhang frowned secretly, bowed and took the order and went out.

When he was in front of Gu Deyin, he whispered quickly, "Try to make as little noise as possible after entering."

Gu Deyin nodded knowingly, and then followed Eunuch Zhang into the hall.

She kept bowing her head slightly and bowed respectfully to Qi Mei. She had learned these things in her previous life, so she did it in a very standard way.

Qi Meizhi couldn't find anything to be picky about even if he wanted to.

"Raise your head and let me take a look."

Hearing this, Gu Deyin felt unhappy, but he still suppressed his emotions, slowly raised his head, and looked directly at Qi Meizhi.
