Chapter 161

Gu fengxiao and Rong Su are no longer alive. In the name of revenge, Gu rongsu has three admonitions about what happened in those years. Besides him, the only insider is the emperor Lu Zhaohui, and it's impossible to ask the truth from the emperor.

Bu Qingyi has eight big heads. She never thought that it was still so difficult to solve the mystery when she knew Gu rongsu's identity. What's more, she didn't expect that Rong pin, who seems to have a lot to do with Gu rongsu, was also half an outsider.

However, all of the surprises can't compare with the shock that Arnold brought to bu Qingyi - Arnold is only nine years old, but her maturity, steadiness, wisdom and alertness are beyond the reach of many adults. Whether it is to deliberately create an opportunity to meet or to deliberately hide Gu rongsu's identity, Arnold's every design is ingenious and careful. The most important thing is that her every move is not instigated by anyone, but all comes from her own thinking and decision.

What on earth has such a smart child experienced, living in an environment almost like a cold palace?

"Why do you want to live here with Rong pin Niang?" Bu Qingyi suddenly has a great interest in Arnold.

"Because my mother made a mistake and was executed by my father."

Arnold's answer was concise and comprehensive, and there was an indescribable feeling in the calm, like indifference and numbness, but he didn't even hate at all.

Bu Qingyi suddenly didn't know how to respond.

Express regret or sympathy? It seems that Arnold didn't need to; yell at the emperor? It seems that Arnold is not interested in it; after all, ask about the cause and effect? She's not so talkative.

As if aware of Bu Qingyi's embarrassment, Arnold put away her maturity and gave her a sweet smile: "my identity is nothing special, and it has nothing to do with brother rongsu. Sister Qingyi came here today to inquire about brother rongsu, right? I'm really sorry. I only know so much about Rong Niang Niang. If there's anything else I can do for you, elder sister Qingyi is welcome

"You've helped me a lot, thank you." Maybe he was infected by Arnold's brilliant smile, and bu Qingyi also showed a smile.

The information she got from Arnold was not much, but it was very useful, at least to avoid her detour and waste of time. For a child who can stay out of the trouble, this is very rare, and it is too much to be satisfied.

It seems that there is no need to talk with Arnold any more. Bu Qingyi sincerely praises Arnold's intelligence and then prepares to leave. Arnold took her to the door, and suddenly asked a strange question.

"If I say that brother rongsu is not a bad man, he just does something wrong in a moment of confusion, is sister Qingyi willing to give him a chance to change his ways?"

Bu Qingyi stops and turns around, with a complicated look staring at Arnold.

Arnold's understanding of Gu rongsu should be more than that. Is the conclusion that Gu rongsu is not a bad person the result of rational thinking or the judgment of emotion? No matter what the answer is, at least it shows that there must be a reason for Gu rongsu's behavior. Different from Pei Zan, Gu rongsu is not simply evil.

"Arnold, it's cold. Put on a dress and go out again."

Bu Qingyi and Arnold don't look at each other for a long time. After their conversation, Rong pin and Chen sui'er come out of the room. Rong pin nervously protects Arnold in her arms, as if afraid that she would be bullied by Bu Qingyi.

As a result of his identity, Rong Bin's caution is no longer so difficult to understand. Bu Qingyi said goodbye to them politely. Without mentioning the name of Gu rongsu, Arnold still laughed as if nothing had happened.

"It's hard for such a clever and sensible child to be a victim of power in his whole life. Besides dying in the palace, he won't get married in any good place."

On the way back, Chen sui'er looks at the bleak winter scenery and can't help sighing.

"Yes, Princess Arnold's manner is far beyond the ordinary children's ability. It's not too much to say that she is the smartest child I've ever met. I really don't understand. What's the reason for putting such a sensible daughter in such a bad way to make her suffer at a young age? " Step green clothes to slow down the pace, vaguely seems to have some heart to heart with Chen sui'er.

Chen sui'er lowered his head and walked slowly. His voice was lighter than the snowflakes blown by the north wind: "there is no right or wrong in the harem, from concubines to princesses and princesses. What can determine their fate is only the likes and dislikes of the emperor."

From Chen sui'er's mouth, bu Qingyi learns about Arnold's life experience.

Arnold's mother Yun pin was indeed executed by the emperor because the emperor suspected that she had an affair with a bodyguard.

It's just suspicion.

Yun pin was born in a humble family, but she was the youngest daughter of a seven grade official family. She was chosen to be a female official in the palace because of her outstanding appearance and talent. She not only had excellent poetry and ode, but also played a good piano. She also had an amazing singing voice. Her music is still secretly sung in the harem.

The emperor, who always flaunted that he attached importance to talent rather than lintel, naturally paid attention to Yun pin. Less than half a year after she entered the palace, she was lucky several times. Arnold was born the second year after Yun pin entered the palace. However, concubine Yun is not as good at flattering as other concubines. She is introverted and a little self abased. She can't say beautiful and pleasing words to please your heart. She soon lost her favor and won't get the favor of the emperor.The emperor had nearly 100 beautiful ladies in the harem, and it was hard to count the number of female officials. But for every woman in the harem, the emperor was their only one, and so were the Yun concubines. The concubine Yun, who never knew how to pretend to be charming, had sincere feelings for the emperor. When she was left out in the cold, she was depressed. She often sat in the cold courtyard with her baby daughter in her arms, humming a casual sad tune to pass the long and lonely time.

Like a bird, the complete but sad song over the palace wall once intoxicated many bodyguards guarding the gate of the back palace. One of them, Xiao, was so fond of the song. If it's just a secret attachment across the palace wall, it's OK. It's just that the bodyguard surnamed Xiao is very bold. He actually stepped into the back palace one day, and followed the song to find the concubine he never met before.

"Concubine Yun must really love the emperor. Although she was moved by the infatuation of the bodyguard, she refused to show up to meet him. Two people are so separated from the palace wall, one is singing bitterly, the other is listening obsessively, but they are also at peace. But after all, the harem is not a quiet place. Some people hate that yunpin gave birth to a little princess for the emperor. They always feel that she is a stumbling block in the way of competing for the emperor's favor, so they embellish the story of the bodyguard and yunpin and send it to the emperor's ear. "

From Chen sui'er's dim eyes, bu Qingyi can see what kind of fear and disgust she has for the harem.

Harem, a human prison that kills without blood and eats without bones.

There is nothing more important to the Emperor than face. After hearing the rumor about yunpin, the emperor was so angry that he decided yunpin's crime and gave her a piece of white silk and a pot of poisonous wine.

According to the female official who was in charge of watching first at that time, Yun's wife, with Bai Ling in her arms and a wine pot in her hand, cried and laughed and sang again and again, just like she was crazy.

In the end, Yun pin died.

Instead of hanging ferociously on the white silk, or dying painfully from the poisonous liquor, he cut his throat with the hairpin given to her by the emperor.

When he heard this, bu Qingyi was frightened and cold. He didn't know whether he was more sad or angry, but he trembled at his fingertips.

Such a sad and angry story turns into an understatement in Arnold's mouth. How many joys and sorrows and vicissitudes has Arnold experienced with her mother's injustice and her father's ruthlessness?

She's just a child, a nine-year-old!

The experience of Yun's mother and daughter is like a huge stone pressing on Bu Qingyi's chest, which is heavy and can't be relieved for a long time. She didn't know where the anger should go, and just then someone came to the door.

From the Maple Garden to the dew palace, there is a garden in the middle, which is the only way. When Bu Qingyi and Chen sui'er went to the arch bridge in the middle of the garden, a group of people came face to face. At the front of them was a woman with fair skin, beautiful appearance and strong pride. From the perspective of dress and battle, she should be a favorite concubine.

Bu Qingyi is not familiar with the harem, but he doesn't notice anything. But Chen sui'er immediately changes his face and quickly pulls Bu Qingyi to bow.

"Chen sui'er has seen empress Hui."

"Can you fly? Oh, huifei Bu Qingyi has seen huifei Niang. "

Bu Qingyi's absurd words and deeds made several maids behind Chen huifei laugh secretly, but Chen huifei sank her face and said in an arrogant and cold tone: "is she Bu Qingyi? Sui'er, don't you think this Qingxiang Princess looks ok? How could it be such an ugly look? If you hadn't gone with her, I would have thought that this was a monkey who pretended to be princess Qingxiang! "

Chen huifei broke her intimate relationship with Chen sui'er with a few words, and her extremely rude and deliberate devaluation expressed her disgust for bu Qingyi, as well as her arrogant and arrogant personality.

As for being scolded for being ugly, bu Qingyi is not painful or itchy, but is very interested in Chen huifei's character: "I'm really sorry for polluting huifei's eyes, or I'll wipe them for you?"

As the voice fell to the ground, bu Qingyi threw out her sweat towel and was about to wipe it on her face. She was so scared that she stepped back and screamed one after another.

"What are you doing?! Do you know who I am? I'm - "

" Ouch! "

Plop.

Before Chen huifei finished her angry words, a maid in waiting fell backward because she was not stable and fell into the water. All this happened only in the lightning and flint, so fast that it was hard to react. Seeing that the maid in waiting was pale and kept calling for help, while the others were still in a panic and were at a loss, bu Qingyi had to squat by the bridge and stretch out her hand downward, trying to pull the maid up.

When Bu Qingyi was saving people, Chen huifei looked at her back, and suddenly a cool color passed in her eyes.

It was not easy to hold the hand of the maid in water. Bu Qingyi tried to pull her to the shore while saying comforting words. She didn't notice that her hands appeared behind her and came closer and closer.

When the distance was less than one foot, the hands pushed without warning
