Su Yuwan could not believe looking at the steps in the mountains.
Gu Mingyan just shackled her and tied her and the horse to the tree trunk in the deep forest. All the clothes on her body were burned clean. At this time, she was only dressed in a black robe with low brim and deep feeling. Su Yuwan was dressed in a plain clothes. At this time, she couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice, "why do we want to come to Baima temple?"
"When the Empress Dowager went back to the palace, there was still a turning point." In a low voice, Gu Mingyan still doesn't worry about blocking her mouth, so as not to cause the monks nearby to take her away.
She walked up the steps with money bag and medicine bag.
The wrists under the black robe are already full of traces, and the burden of medicine behind it has been empty for most of the time. The red ropes on the wrists are all soaked by the nearby river water, and they are sticky on the wrists with slight stings. However, she is reluctant to take them off.
Now that she has decided to spend her life with Duan Chengxuan, she will remove all obstacles for him.
His eyes firmly set foot on the last step, and the monk who cleaned the courtyard came forward: "benefactor is here..."
"I'm here to find the Empress Dowager. Please pass this waist token." Gu Mingyan handed over the waist token belonging to King Jing in his arms. After a slight pause, he nodded and hurriedly went to ask the master with the waist token.
stood Moyo with a joss stick, and a maid came out quickly. After a glance at the face under the hat, she gave her a low cry and then greeted her, and said, "the Empress Dowager thought that he would be the subordinate of his royal highness, your highness..."
"I am not what your highness is." Gu Mingyan said casually, and followed the maid to the palace.
But this time, the residence of the Empress Dowager is different from that of the one before her. The maids around her seem to see her doubts and quickly say, "this is the residence of the lady of virtue, but the only place where the guard is weak is here, so the Empress Dowager comes here quietly. There is only one substitute there."
Why did Gu Mingyan not find this problem at that time?
When Duan Chengrui came with her last time, although she had doubts in her mind, she thought that the Empress Dowager and the emperor were standing on the United Front. It's understandable that she didn't see herself. But now, after careful examination, she found that the Empress Dowager was just an innocent person.
Stepping into the partial courtyard, the Empress Dowager she once saw had lost her appearance of being energetic. When she sat with the lady of virtue, her eyes were full of self blame, and she looked at Gu Mingyan with a little guilt. She might be looking forward to Gu Mingyan trusting her as before.
But Gu Mingyan also slowly pulled his hat off, revealing his familiar face. He didn't bow to salute half a step, but walked two steps closer and whispered, "Yan'er is here today, just to find the truth of that year."
The last hope of the Empress Dowager's eyes also disappeared. The lady around looked at the woman who disturbed her son's life discontentedly, and clutched the veil tightly: "are you talking to the Empress Dowager like this?"
"At this moment, I'm afraid there is more than one emperor who is responsible for the current situation." Gu Mingyan had a cold look at the beautiful and moving princess, but the words were full of warning - she was not enough to get involved in the dispute.
The virtuous concubine is about to take the case, or make people take her as a gangster.
But the Empress Dowager only gently waved her hand: "in order to make him a good emperor, the mourners did some shameful things, but I didn't expect that he would have such thoughts on his son."
"He didn't care about his son at all, but hoped Duan Chengxuan would also taste the taste of the loss of his beloved honor. If Duan Chengxuan didn't stay for Su Yuwan at the beginning, everything would not happen today!" Gu Mingyan glared at the Empress Dowager. She went to the Empress Dowager and poured out with the irritation caused by the toxicity: "but he always believes in his own brother under your guidance and wants to retaliate with the right of brotherhood. Those princes retaliate against you."
"Unbridled!" The virtuous imperial concubine finally clapped the case, and the trusted guards outside the door swarmed in and slammed the door shut completely.
"Because you also taught him to be a good emperor, but you didn't ask him to be a father and become an emperor as well as his father." Gu Mingyan could not doubt that he continued to open his mouth. Even though two long knives were firmly clasping her neck, the slight stabbing pain hit her heart with the sound of some blood drops rolling down.
The Empress Dowager opened her mouth tremblingly and stood up against the armrest: "back down..."
The guards had to restrain the blades in their hands, while the Empress Dowager looked at her with a troubled and painful look, and her eyes carefully described every inch of her body. Her voice was slightly raised a lot, and she was no longer wary of being trapped here: "even a woman like you can make a big deal, and you even quit for their brotherhood..."
"I've never really focused on the big picture, all I've done is because it's something I want to do." Gu Mingyan unties his black robe. The black clothes under him can't cover the traces that spread to his neck. The red color, which is spread by the cloth, can't stop it.
It is like the trace of countless dead bones piled up into blue, purple and black, winding on the white and flawless skin.
The virtuous imperial concubine screamed and retreated two steps. Gu Mingyan stepped forward in the Empress Dowager's eyes: "I didn't want him to see these, so I left."
"And I'm here today. I just hope you can tell me what happened. I'm willing to give advice to Duan Chengxuan and his nephews." Gu Mingyan takes a step forward in the surprised eyes of the Empress Dowager. He kneels completely and half on the ground with firm eyes.
The Empress Dowager fell and sat on the main seat, as if she had lost all her strength: "yunqi was no more aggressive than you."
"It can be seen that she is a gentle woman. I once saw in the genealogy that all she did in this life were good deeds, and she was pregnant when she died that year." Gu Mingyan took an old scroll out of his arms and spread it out: "you even put this evidence in Heishui Town, and aunt Du gave it to me, and you didn't completely destroy it. Is this the last chance?"
"You..." The Empress Dowager looked at her with unbelievable face: "Why are people in Blackwater town..."
"After knowing that you and the emperor finally gave up on them, they told me for a hundred years and told me that you would let them keep this thing well." Gu Mingyan closes the scroll in his hand again, looks at the Xian imperial concubine a few more times, and then says, "if you tell me about it, Duan Chengyu will be involved, and he will be attacked by you before."
"How do you know..."
"After the emperor established a dangerous man to make a new one, he must have intended to protect you. However, the murderer who hurt you has not been found for a long time, so you have never doubted why you and the Empress Dowager should be imprisoned in Baima temple, and why Zongping Wang should stay in Tianyan City?" Gu Mingyan sneers, and the countenance of Xianfei turns pale with naked eyes.
Gu Mingyan looked at the Empress Dowager with awe inspiring eyes: "if Duan Feng wants to destroy the royal family of Duan, how can the emperor not? The imperial court is green and yellow. It's hard for the poor and the nobles to communicate with each other for several years. Let alone any prince can initiate civil strife. One of his princes has never been killed. Don't you just want to watch the great turmoil? "
"The mourner That's it. " The Empress Dowager breathed out a mouthful of dullness, as if she were decades old.
