The night is dark.
Qiao Guifei and Gu Zibei also chatted a lot.
In the beginning, Concubine Qiao asked a lot about how Gu Zibei spent all these years outside alone.
The last topic finally turned to Ting Tong.
Gu Zibei simply told Qiao Guifei all the origins of his relationship with Tingtong.
When it comes to court methods, no one is more proficient than Concubine Qiao.
But when she heard that the Queen of Da Jin wanted to frame her with aphrodisiac twice, Concubine Qiao couldn't help but slap the table angrily.
"It's unreasonable, they are all queens, and they still do such unworthy things. In her eyes, the princess of a country is actually a victim."
Gu Zibei saw that Concubine Qiao slapped it down with a palm, and the table was not cracked, but a crack appeared on a floor tile under the table's foot.
He sucked in a breath.
It is said that Concubine Qiao is highly skilled in martial arts, but this is the first time Gu Zibei has seen it with his own eyes.
Fighting cattle across the mountain is a very powerful skill in the eyes of people who know internal strength.
Wan Yin and Wan Xuan on the side glanced calmly, as if they were used to it.
Gu Zibei was afraid that Concubine Qiao would be even more angry, so he hurriedly comforted: "That's why such a dynasty cannot last for a long time. The subjugation of the country is their destiny, and Concubine Qiao should not be angry with them."
Concubine Qiao sighed deeply to her gorgeous eyebrows and eyes, which had a unique charm.
She sighed: "Silly child, you have suffered so much after being outside for so many years. If Ben Gong knew earlier, then the Queen of Jin, Ben Gong would have cut you thousands of pieces."
Gu Zibei lowered his head and fell silent.
He thought he had no home for a long time.
Concubine Qiao's eyes turned: "That Tingtong is a confused child."
Gu Zibei was stunned for a moment, and then echoed, "She just doesn't have an opinion."
Concubine Qiao smiled: "In this world, there is no one who has absolutely no opinion. Even if there is, it's just that she didn't think clearly."
She painted her fingertips with red kombu and held a celadon tea cup, making her palms extremely white, like precious white-toothed jade.
"Often this kind of person needs a push." Concubine Qiao was thoughtful.
Gu Zibei looked at her puzzled: "Mr. Qiao, what do you mean?"
Concubine Qiao regained her senses and smiled brightly, quite approachable.
"Bengong doesn't mean anything, I just guessed that you should have no patience for this Tingtong. In fact, the two of you don't owe each other."
"Ting Tong used to be a princess, but now she is a palace servant. She must have known in her heart that this time is different from the past."
"Ben Gong can see your face and send her out of the palace to be a commoner."
"If you don't see each other again in the future, naturally you won't be troubled by the worries in your heart."
Gu Zibei was startled: "This..."
Concubine Qiao raised her eyebrows: "Why, can't bear it?"
"My son didn't mean that. It's just that the emperor ordered her to work in Xiuyifang for a year before she can leave."
Concubine Qiao held her forehead and her attitude was casual: "The emperor will occasionally pardon a few palace people and let them out of the palace. This is not uncommon, you don't have to worry."
When she said this, Concubine Qiao Gui's eyes swept across Gu Zibei's palm on her lap.
He clenched his fists unconsciously, obviously telling the truth, but he held back when he wanted to say it.
At the end, Gu Zibei bowed his hands: "Listen to Mother Qiao's orders."
After a few chats, Concubine Qiao asked him to go back to rest first.
After Gu Zibei left, Wanyin said, "Why does the maiden treat His Highness the Fourteenth this way? It's painful for this servant to look at him."
