Queen's scheming

Chapter 225 Gu ([-])
Shen Qingyi came out of the Nuan Pavilion with a peony lamp, but she didn't see Nanny Ding, and there wasn't a single maid serving around her. She couldn't help wondering: "Where did this person go?"

"Does the empress have something to tell you? This king can do it for you." Gu Yiran's gentle voice sounded, and his smile was warm and tranquil.

Shen Qingyi was startled, nodded at Gu Yiran and said: "It turned out to be Prince Cheng. It's nothing, I just want to find someone to put this medicine bowl back in the small kitchen, since there is no one at the moment, just go later .”

"The prince is here now, is he going to greet the queen mother? The queen mother just took a rest." Shen Qingyi said calmly.

Gu Yiran looked Shen Qingyi up and down, he restrained himself for a long time, he hadn't seen Shen Qingyi for a long time, just for today.

Shen Qingyi was wearing a very light lilac purple outer dress, the purple was so light that it was almost invisible, as if it was a purple colored glass bead dropped in the milk, on the surface, it looked vaguely invisible.The clothes were embroidered with darker purple five-petal flowers, it was hard to tell what kind of flowers they were, but they were scattered around the collar of the leader, adding a kind of beauty to the dignified and friendly Shen Qing Yiping.

Seeing that Gu Yiran was staring at her nicely, Shen Qingyi turned her body slightly. Gu Yiran hadn't seen her for a long time, and even if he came to pay her respects to the Queen Mother every day, he only came in the early morning when he was not around. , staring at her like this again, made Shen Qingyi tense uncomfortably.

"Prince Cheng?" Shen Qingyi heavily placed the peony cup in his hand on the flower table at the side. On it was a newly planted lemon flower, and two petals floated down following Shen Qingyi's movements.

Only then did Gu Yiran regain his senses, clasped one hand slightly, put it to his mouth and coughed: "I haven't had a good rest these days, I just lost my mind, and the empress laughed."

"Since the queen mother is asleep, I just have to wait a while, otherwise there is no place to go. There is always a beautiful woman accompanying the emperor, and it is a bit inappropriate for me to be there." Gu Yiran said while looking at Shen Qingyi's face, Sure enough, when she mentioned Ru Meiren, a trace of displeasure flashed across her face.

Shen Qingyi walked out, "Grandma Ding didn't go anywhere, and Nanny Jiang wasn't here either, and there wasn't even a servant girl by her side, Prince Cheng, wait a minute, I'll go take a look, what's going on? Thing, the Empress Dowager is ill, the Cihui Palace shouldn't be so lazy, there is not even a court lady serving tea, it's really too much!"

When Shen Qingyi passed by him, Gu Yiran lightly raised his hand to stop him, and said: "This king thinks it's noisy, so let them all go down. If the queen empress doesn't mind, I will make tea for my empress himself. Anyway, this The tea set and boiling water are ready-made." Gu Yiran said while sweeping the flower table beside him.

Only then did Shen Qingyi realize that a whole set of purple sand tea sets had been placed on the flower table at some point, a trace of uncertainty flashed through Shen Qingyi's slightly drooping eyes, but she nodded in agreement, Gu Yiran even prepared the boiling water, Obviously waiting for her.

Seeing Shen Qingyi nodding, Gu Yiran felt a little happy in his heart. The smile on his face was like falling rocks into the water, gently rippling away. The purple sand pot, boiling water, and small teacups shuttled between Gu Yiran's fair and slender fingers. , there is a touch of jasmine slices, and the fragrance of tea is overflowing.

"It was my king's whim, and I didn't prepare the tea you like to drink. The Empress Dowager's Cihui Palace only has old Pu'er, so I found some jasmine scented slices with great difficulty. This king thinks that you like to drink it." Gu Yiran Slowly.

The time spent alone with her is so beautiful, Gu Yiran wished that time could stop at this moment.In the quiet room, there were only her and him, and the fragrance of tea.

When Shen Qingyi heard that Gu Yiran addressed her with the word "you", she didn't answer, but calmly picked up the teacup, hugged it in her hands, didn't drink, just warmed her hands.

"You've been haggard a lot." Gu Yiran said softly, "Brother Huang is now focused on Rumei, and doesn't feel sorry for you at all for handling the affairs of the Six Palaces and working hard for the Empress Dowager. In the past month, I haven't even mentioned a word about you, let alone you. Don't talk about going to the Lengsu Palace to see you."

"The emperor...is quite busy, I can understand." Shen Qingyi lowered her eyes, wishing she could put her entire pretty face into that small teacup.

Li Tianyou's abnormality during this period, she saw in her eyes, he seemed to have forgotten the Ningsu Palace, the hidden guards, if he was lost in his mind, but he remembered all the other things, the Queen Mother even asked tentatively A few things, Li Tianyou's trivial things when he was young, he remembered clearly, but she was the only one who forgot.

Shen Qingyi didn't know what kind of poison that beautiful woman had poisoned Li Tianyou, she could only watch helplessly, and she couldn't even set foot in Qiankun Palace.

Gu Yiran was obviously dissatisfied with Shen Qingyi's answer, he looked at Shen Qingyi's long eyelashes in the tea mist, seemed to be stained with a little bit of moisture, wished he could reach out his hand to smooth the moisture away, "Why are you kidding yourself? Your Majesty no longer has a place in the emperor's heart, and now the emperor listens to whatever the beautiful woman says, but the time for the beautiful woman to enter the palace is still short, otherwise your empress position may have been replaced by someone else!"

"But Bengong is still sitting in this seat, isn't it?" Shen Qingyi raised her eyes, even though the corners of her eyes were still a little wet, but her eyes were full of firmness, Gu Yiran was even immersed in the radiance in her eyes, Inextricable.

Gu Yiran refused to let go of any trace of Shen Qingyi's emotions, feeling her faint sadness, Gu Yiran took advantage of the victory and chased after him: "What difference does it make if you are in that seat or not? Brother Huang doesn't have you in his heart. You are still the empress, and it's just a status. I don't believe you can't see this clearly, otherwise you wouldn't punish Tang Guifei like that, she is still a third-rank concubine, but does that make any sense?"

"He has you in his heart, even if you are just a humble court lady, it doesn't matter, but he has already lost you in his heart, and you are just wasting your time if you wait like this!" Gu Yiran said unceremoniously, for Li Tianyou, He didn't have the slightest liking for him, saying how much affection he had for Shen Qingyi, it was just a little bit of self-control!

For such a long time, no one has ever said these things to Shen Qingyi, and everyone picked up nice things to tell her. No one has ever uncovered the scars and sprinkled salt on her wounds so cruelly!

Shen Qingyi turned her phoenix eyes lightly, and looked away, she couldn't cry in front of Gu Yiran.At this time, it is too inappropriate.

Gu Yiran clenched his fists tightly and hid them in the wide sleeves, his face was still as gentle as jade, "How do I treat you? You knew early on that you have been turning a blind eye and listening to it. I don't blame you. Brother Huang has always I'm happy for you because I pamper you like that, so even though my heart hurts like a knife, I still choose to marry a wife and fade out of your sight, just so that Brother Huang can no longer doubt you; but this time is different from the past. Brother made you feel so sad, I really can't watch you continue to haggard like this!"

Gu Yiran gently caressed Shen Qingyi's Rou Yi, with eyes as bright as stars, and said affectionately: "Qing Yi, I promise you to be gentle forever, as long as you want, I don't want to be this prince, and take you with me, Find a place deep in the Taoyuan, just you and me, live in seclusion in a place with mountains and water, enjoy flowers in spring, swim in lakes in summer, ride horses in autumn, and make tea in winter, so that you will not see a trace of sorrow in this life, okay? "

"Prince Cheng..." Shen Qingyi wanted to pull his hand out of Gu Yiran's, but he was not as strong as Gu Yiran.

Gu still felt that Shen Qingyi wanted to withdraw Rou Yi, and said with a firm expression: "You don't have to worry about the palace, as long as you are willing, I will have a way to get you out of the palace, without any worries!"

Shen Qingyi used all her strength to pull her hand out, a little flustered, Shen Qingyi had to admit that Gu Yiran's words moved her very much, if these words came from Li Tianyou's mouth, she would nod without hesitation, but on the other side The person in question is Gu Yiran.

Shen Qingyi took a step back, lightly opened her lips and said, "My lord, I have taken your lord's heart into my heart, my lord has both talents and looks, and the emperor once praised my lord's resourcefulness. A person as good as lord is suitable for Princess Qinya. A dignified and virtuous person deserves it. I live a very good life in the palace, and I have not suffered any grievances. The emperor will change his mind one day, and I will wait for him."

"There's no such possibility at all!" Gu still didn't expect that at this point, Shen Qingyi still refused to go with him, with traces of suppressed anger in her voice.

"Even if he will never change his mind, there is no room for any man in my heart! Yes, I like the mountains and rivers outside the palace and the life of wanton rivers and lakes, but as long as he is by my side, I Only then can I smile carefree, no one else can take the place of the emperor! If there is a day when he gets tired of me, I will leave alone! The prince should not put his mind on me!" After Shen Qingyi finished speaking, before Gu Yiran could react, she fled and left.

Watching the faint lilac color disappear from his sight, Gu Yiran smiled wryly, and drank the cup of tea in his hand. She was so wary of him, to this extent?She refused to drink even a sip of the tea that she personally cooked for her.

"He's tired of you, will you leave?" Gu Yiran murmured.

When Shen Qingyi rushed into the Ningsu Palace, Yuhe was whispering something to Yulian, Yulian looked extremely reluctant, seeing Shen Qingyi entering the palace, immediately interrupted Yuhe, stepped forward to greet Shen Qingyi, "Why did your empress come back so early? Where's Mother Jiang?"

Shen Qingyi only remembered Jiang Nanny at this time, and said with some annoyance: "I forgot, Yu Lian, go and find Jiang Nanny and come back, and tell Nanny Ding by the way, Ben Gong's clothes are dirty, come back and change them." just a shirt."

Yu He glanced at Shen Qingyi up and down, seeing that the clothes were fine, she was a little puzzled, but she didn't say anything, she just found another clothes and brought them over.

It took Shen Qingyi a while to calm down, and in the end she asked Yuhe to tell Deng Liangyuan of Qinzhu Palace about it. For some reason, although Gu was still very gentle today, she felt a bit of coldness penetrated into her bones, so she could rest assured No more.
