Gu Yingyun seemed to have had a very, very long dream. When he was young, he saw her playing by the river and met the young emperor. No, at that time, he was only the crown prince.
He had said that he would take her as his wife.
Wife was the true marriage, unique and unparalleled.
However, he didn't fulfill his original promise.
"Miss, Miss …"
An anxious and worried female voice sounded beside Gu Yingyun's ears. She frowned, and slowly opened her eyes. Liu Er? "
"It's my young mistress!" Liu Er raised his hands to wipe the tears on his face, and covered Gu Yingyun's face with a blanket.
Gu Yingyun coughed violently, and said weakly: "I …"
"Miss, no matter what, you have to think for your child. Don't do anything foolish again!"
Liu Er told Gu Yingyun that he called for the royal doctors to rescue her in time. Fortunately, he didn't drink too much of the poison and kept his life.
Hearing that, Gu Yingyun held onto Liu Er's arm tightly.
"Child …"
"Miss, it's fine, all of you are fine." Liu Er comforted her.
"That's good, that's good." Gu Yingyun repeated, his eyes went pale and empty.
Seeing her young miss like this, Liu Er's tears flowed uncontrollably, as he fought for her.
"Miss, how could the emperor treat you like this?" If not for young miss returning this time, Liu Er would not have been able to enter the palace to meet you. "
"What did you say?" Gu Yingyun's eyes flashed, "Tell me … Big Sis, she's back? "
The Gu Shuer who died in front of her all those years ago had returned?!
"Yeah." Liu Er scoffed twice, and replied, "Eldest Miss is back. The emperor will quickly rush to the palace to meet with Eldest Miss. "This servant took advantage of this opportunity and took the initiative to petition to come to the palace to wait upon Miss. Only then did the emperor agree."
"Liu Er." Gu Yingyun raised her hand to wipe away the tears on Liu Er's immature face, "I'm doing well in the Palace, why are you accompanying me in suffering?"
Gu Yingyun's finger was ice-cold as he touched Liu Er's warm cheek.
Liu Er stood straight, and said respectfully: "Miss, Liu Er has been following you since young, if it wasn't for the sudden turn of events back then, Liu Er would never have easily left you."
"It's alright, it's all in the past now." Gu Yingyun pulled out a smile, and his pale white face carried a faint bitterness.
"His Majesty, he …" Gu Yingyun wanted to say something, but stopped. Liu Er sighed lightly and said unhappily: "Does young miss still care about that ungrateful man at this time?"
"How dare you!" Gu Yingyun's expression suddenly became serious, with majesty in his eyes.
"This servant knows her wrongs." Liu Er lowered his eyes, and said gloomily.
"Liu Er, the walls of the palace have ears, they are not comparable to the palaces." Gu Yingyun warned repeatedly that she had been extremely careful all these years, not thinking that Liu Er would make a mistake the moment he entered the palace.
But... When he found out that the Emperor only cared about his sister, and didn't care about her life or death, Gu Yingyun's heart ached as if a knife was cutting at it.
When the imperial concubine returned to the palace, the entire nation celebrated together and the Emperor even granted a general amnesty to the world!
Gu Yingyun was escorted by Liu Er to the imperial concubine's chamber, where he was informed that the palace maid had come out to reply coldly, "Empress, the imperial concubine said that you can go in by yourself."
Liu Er just wanted to say something, but Gu Yingyun raised his hand to stop him, and laughed: "It's fine, let us go in."
Liu Er nodded helplessly, as he walked slowly behind the palace maid.
Before they even reached the hall, they heard their parents and elder sister's voices …
However, when he appeared before them, the smiles on their faces gradually disappeared, to be replaced by cold treatment.
"Sister, you're here!" Gu Shuer was still as gentle and lovable as before.
Gu Yingyun smiled back, his heart still lingering fear. If he was half as good as his elder sister, he wouldn't be hated to such an extent by his parents right now.
"Shu-er, stay away from the empress." Mrs. Gu took a step forward and quickly pulled his daughter back to his side, looking at Gu Yingyun with an expression of vigilance.
In an instant, Gu Yingyun's heart became as cold as ice, her long and dense eyelashes trembled slightly, and she said in a low voice: "Elder sister, you … It's so good that you're back. "
She thought, now that Gu Shuer had returned, her innocence could be proven.
"Since elder sister has returned, then please tell the truth in front of everyone. Were those assassins sent by me?"
What happened that year had always been a hurdle.
He clearly knew that his words would cause unhappiness, but Gu Yingyun still wanted to get to the bottom of this issue.
"Gu Yingyun!" Old Master Gu huffed angrily as he glared at her. "Shu-er just came back, don't provoke her!"
"Grand Master Gu is right!"
The man's deep and dignified voice sounded out from outside the hall, causing everyone to be stunned for a moment, then they all bowed in salute …
"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"
"No need for formalities!" Xuanyuan Qi lifted his hand to support the Grand Master Gu, causing him to retreat a few steps in fear, "Your majesty, please do not. This subject cannot take it."
Xuanyuan Qi said softly with both of his hands behind his back, "No need to stand on ceremony!"
"Yes." Once the Grand Master Gu received his orders, he stood in front of his daughter Gu Shuer and took precautions, treating Gu Yingyun as an outsider.
Gu Yingyun looked up at Xuanyuan Qi, and said with a bitter smile: "Chenqie only wants to prove her innocence."
