Chapter 96 Can't afford it

Lan Xin immediately knelt down when she heard this, and said in a panic, "The Queen's Majesty knows that, no one in the palace dares to offend the Queen's Majesty."

Seeing her knelt down to explain in such a hurry, Gu Ruzhen couldn't help raising her eyebrows.

"That's it, you go back with these guards, and then bring Princess Shun'an here."

"Empress, everything said by this servant is true, I dare not lie."

After these words passed in her mind for a while, Gu Ruzhen realized the worry of the maid in front of her.

Probably everyone will feel that she still favors Ah Yin in her heart.

After all, she never disciplined Ah Yin for making troubles in Qingxuan's harem, and Guopo even gave her the position of Princess Shun'an afterward.

Whoever thinks about it will probably feel that she still misses the sisterhood.

But if she really still misses the sisterhood that maybe never existed before, then she won't let Ah Yin's temperament become more and more distorted.

Regardless of whether it means she really doesn't care anymore.

"Don't worry, whether it's the content of this letter or what she said and did when she came later, I won't involve anyone else because of her."

Gu Ruyin was brought here in a sedan chair by two nuns, and it was Ruotong who made the decision privately.

She was really helpless, who would have thought that a dignified concubine would roll on the ground like a shrew in the market, shouting at the top of her voice, if this movement did not attract King Shun'an, she would not know how long the trouble would last.

It's also strange, King Shun'an looked more like an elegant scholar with a gentle face, but he just lowered his eyes and looked at the woman rolling and screaming on the ground, she immediately got up, and she was completely different from the previous moment people.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Ruotong would not have felt that the scene in front of him would really happen.

Until the person was taken away, Chu Lichen didn't stop him, and even clenched his fists, looking at the door with dark eyes, without moving for a long time.

The sedan chair walked from Gu Ruyin's courtyard to the General's Mansion. During the period, Gu Ruyin was stuffed into the sedan chair, and two nuns on the left and right grabbed her hands, so she couldn't move even if she tried to struggle.

The sedan chair stopped, and the curtain was lifted by two nuns, revealing Gu Ruyin who was blushing.

The two nuns dragged her down mercilessly, then set her up and walked for a while, then let go of her hands and respectfully stood on both sides.

Gu Ruyin lowered her head, and could only see a pair of dark purple shoes not far away, with a fingernail-sized oriental bead embellished on it, trembling with the master's movements.

With the head turned up and the shoes up, it was a red dress mixed with gold thread. The hem of the skirt was embroidered with a circle of phoenixes in different shades of gold thread.

One, two, three... nine...

Nine phoenix tails, this is the ritual system of the queen.

"Long time no see, Ah Yin won't even call me elder sister." The woman rested her face on her hands, carelessly playing with the jade string in hand.

There are twelve beads in this jade string, and each bead is carved in the shape of an animal. The twelve add up to form the twelve zodiac signs. Although the jade material is not very precious, the craftsmanship is really exquisite, and each animal is unique. The carving is lifelike, very smart and lovely.

So recently Gu Ruzhen often wears this jade string on her hand.

"Elder, elder sister." Gu Ruyin said timidly.

Don't look at how she slandered Gu Ruzhen in various ways in Chu Lichen and in front of other people, and even tried all kinds of dirty methods behind her back.

But if she really let her see Gu Ruzhen, it would be like a mouse seeing a cat, not even daring to raise its head, let alone those words before.

"I heard that you are pregnant, but why do you look thinner like a monkey? I don't know, I thought that the Shun'an Palace was too poor to have enough money to feed you."

Everyone: "..." These words sound weird, they don't seem to be caring, but rather scolding.

Gu Ruyin held back for a long time, her face flushed even more, and she stammered, "Eldest sister, I, I have a bad appetite after pregnancy, so I'm thin, and it's none of the prince's business."

"That's what I said, what has I to do with him when I talk to you? Why do you think that I am unreasonable, so you will blame others indiscriminately?"

Gu Ruzhen raised her eyes slightly as if she just remembered, and said in a calm voice, "Why are you still kneeling? You are all pregnant and don't pay attention. Maybe I want people to think that I am so ruthless that even my younger sister can't bear it." Don’t let go of those who deliberately torture.”

Everyone: "..."

How could Gu Ruyin dare to stand now, she just felt like a needle had grown on the ground, and stood up suddenly.

Ruotong moved a small cushioned stool and placed it behind Gu Ruyin, Gu Ruyin sat down, her legs were cramped together, and her hands were placed on her knees.

"Elder Sister, that's not what I mean, I just... just haven't seen Elder Sister for a long time, and I miss her in my heart."

Ruotong, who was on the side, was dumbfounded when she saw Gu Ruyin's appearance. She thought that when King Shun'an appeared, Gu Ruyin suddenly became quiet from a street shrew.

Who would have expected that she would be as cute as a little rabbit in front of the empress.

"Missing?" Gu Ruzhen bent her fingers and tapped on the table lightly.

On the table she was knocking on was the letter paper.

In front of Gu Ruyin, she unfolded the letter, and said slowly, "This is how you miss your eldest sister, give beggars silver taels, and then let them spread these words?"

"I can't bear this miss."

"Ah Yin, what do you want?"

Gu Ruzhen felt that what she had given her was enough, otherwise, relying on herself, it would be hard to say whether this little life could be saved now.

"Since I was young, I didn't know how to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. I was stupid and incompetent. Even my understanding of the secrets in the back house was only superficial. The methods I used were full of mistakes. I used to be beautiful, but now..." Gu Ruzhen looked at her from top to bottom , and continued to sigh, "What else do you have now?"

Before Gu Ruyin could speak, she suddenly realized again, "By the way, you still have the status of Princess Shun'an, but if you don't have this status, what else do you have?"

Gu Ruyin opened her eyes wide in fear, and shook her head violently, "Eldest sister, I didn't do it on purpose, you know I've always been self-willed, and I didn't intend to really harm elder sister."

"So, you just haven't seen me for a long time and you want to play a joke on me?" Gu Ruzhen changed her posture and took the handkerchief from Ruotong's hand.

Thin white fingertips rubbed the orchid on the veil, things changed, but the veil remained the same, which made her feel a little emotional for a while.

Gu Ruyin nodded hastily, and the jewels on her hair swayed around.

Seeing her like this, Gu Ruzhen couldn't bear to look directly at her.

How long has it been since I saw her? How did she become like this?
