C138

On the palace wall, everyone was kneeling down respectfully, not daring to be the least bit disrespectful.

As time passed, the scorching hot sun shined, and many people began to feel a little uncomfortable …

"Ai …" "When is this going to happen?"

"Who knows!"

"Ai …" This... "This is really …"

That's right, they had knelt for almost two hours already. Seeing that the sun was getting more and more vicious, many people were almost unable to bear kneeling like this.

Military generals were still better off, at least they were all strong and robust. Although kneeling for more than two hours was a bit unbearable, compared to those powerless civil officials and those women and children, they were much more dexterous. It was unknown how many of the women had fainted by now, but they had no one by their side to attend to them. Besides, the empress dowager was still around, and no one dared to leave, so they could only look out for each other.

As for the children who insisted on joining in the fun, all of their faces were pale. They wanted to cry, but they did not dare to …

However, this was a good thing. The women who were not on good terms with each other now were all helping each other. It was so much so that they became more harmonious without knowing it.

Unfortunately …

All of this had nothing to do with Gu Qingyi.

She'd been kneeling silently the entire time, because she was the closest to the empress dowager. Even though the empress dowager was half-reclining in her imperial concubine chair with her eyes half closed, it was as if she'd fallen asleep. However, she still didn't dare to relax. From the start, she had been tensed up, and as time passed, she felt that she was almost unable to take it anymore. Her knees had long since become numb, and at this moment, she felt like there were countless ants crawling around.

Of course, the most unbearable thing was still … The one who deserved to die was Xuanyuan Lian. He was also kneeling by his side, but he didn't know whether it was because that kid had experienced too much and everyone had knelt for such a long time, yet he still had the strength to glare at him … Being stared at by his pair of bell-like eyes, although it was neither painful nor painful, but … But it also made Jiu Niang's entire body feel uncomfortable.

She could not help but curse in her heart. Damned Xuanyuan Liankang, this lady is not fated to have no enmity with you in your previous life, why do you keep staring at me? Are you not afraid that your eyeballs will roll out?

Of course, Jiu Niang only dared to think about these things. Right now, they were so close to the empress dowager. If she really did speak up, then maybe Xuanyuan Lian and that teasing brat would have heard before they did.

But...

"You … What are you looking at me for! Let me tell you, you... Even if you look again, I … I don't like you either... Ugly, ugly girl! "

Gu Qingyi had never thought that Xuanyuan Lian would actually start the conversation before she even opened her mouth.

Furthermore … The guy had actually folded his arms across his chest and leaned back. He was staring at Ye Xiao with a cautious look.

That look … It was as if he was going to do something to him.

Gu Qingyi was amused and couldn't help laughing out loud: "Haha …" "I look at you. If you don't look at me, how would you know that I'm looking at you?"

Right, if it weren't for the fact that this guy had been staring at him with his pair of large, unblinking eyes, he wouldn't have been stared at like that and couldn't help but look around.

He didn't think that this guy would actually sue the evildoer first, and now he even said that he was looking at him.

"You … You... I was worried... Worry... What if you... At that time … "What if they stick to me? I have to be careful."

After being scolded by Gu Qingyi, Xuanyuan Lian was stunned. He stuttered for a long time and was unable to say a complete sentence. After a long while, his eyes suddenly lit up and he immediately stopped moving his waist. He glared fiercely at Gu Qingyi.
