The subsequent story is nothing more than a coup in the Li Kingdom. Qi Junce was ordered to proclaim himself emperor in the face of danger, and the Gu family made great contributions during the Qianlong period.
At the celebration banquet, Qi Junce drunkenly asked Lord Gu what reward he wanted. As long as he said it, he would definitely agree.
I don't know if they were both too drunk, or if Mr. Gu was drunk and emboldened. Master Gu directly kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, please marry my daughter as your queen!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience fell silent.
The originally cheerful Qi Junce's smile froze on his face, while Concubine Rong Shen Yinwei, who was already the designated queen, looked at him with tearful eyes.
Bao Zhu thought, if he were on the spot, he wouldn't be able to say "Oh" secretly.
In this farce, with the testimony of hundreds of officials and Qi Junce's unspeakable and unbelievable boast, a queen was born out of the blue.
But the sky was filled with dazzling red. Gu Linqing, who happily married into the palace, was so nervous that she almost fainted. When she opened her hijab, she saw Qi Junce's frosty face.
But Gu Linqing was still deceiving herself, thinking it was her husband's shyness. That night she was bold and hot, losing all the reserve that belonged to a noble lady.
But after waking up from the dream, what I felt was the cold bed instead of the body temperature of my lover. Gu Linqing hid her disappointment and buried herself under the quilt in shame.
In the days that followed, she quietly did everything a queen should do. Everyone said she did a great job and praised her as a born queen.
But only she knew that all she wanted to do was become Junce's wife.
After getting married, Qi Junce's hot and cold attitude toward Gu Linqing almost drove her crazy. The ceremony for the canonization of Concubine Rong not long after was almost as grand as her wedding. Only then did she realize that the person in her husband's heart had never been the same. Not her.
Every time he looked over with joy, what he saw was Qi Junce's loving eyes towards others.
Whatever, whatever. Gu Linqing comforted herself that she would always be the queen.
But the pain of losing three sons in a row, her husband's indifference, and being unable to have children again was like a huge mountain holding her down.
When she heard that Qi Junce was discussing with the Queen Mother whether to make Concubine Rong, who had given birth to the prince, the queen again, her burning heart went completely crazy.
Over the years, even Gu Linqing didn't know how many evil things she had done. She even hated Qi Junce for taking another look at a palace maid, and beat the innocent palace maid to death on a provocation.
Seeing Concubine Rong's son getting smarter and smarter, Qi Junce liked him very much. So he set up a trap and took away Concubine Rong's son.
There are too many innocent souls who died at their own hands. When she came back from her dream at midnight, she was frightened and frightened. But it only took a moment before he found another excuse for himself.
Gu Linqing listened numbly as Baozhu detailed her crimes, and said nonchalantly: "So what?"
Bao Zhu smiled and replied: "It really can't be done, but sister, you are really infatuated and wrong."
Baozhu clapped his hands, and two inner tubes came over carrying a large wooden box, pouring out the contents at once.
Gu Linqing looked at the sachets that were like snowflakes, and the hands holding her own sachet began to tremble slightly.
"Your Majesty actually never knew that you embroidered that sachet, and there are hundreds of such sachets here." Baozhu's words pierced Gu Linqing's heart.
"And His Majesty hates you, hates that your family forced him to marry you." Baozhu raised Gu Linqing's chin with the toe of his shoe, "You are pitiful, but you shouldn't step on other people's bones to vent your hatred."
Bao Zhu's foot flicked, and Gu Linqing's face turned to the side.
"Gu Linqing, this is all just the result of your deceiving yourself!" After Baozhu said this, Yue Nu walked in with a glass of poisonous wine.
Bao Zhu stood up slowly while holding the poisoned wine, looked at the sluggish Gu Linqing and said, "Your Majesty is merciful and will keep your body intact."
Baozhu handed the poisonous wine to Gu Linqing. Gu Linqing raised her head blankly, with no desire to live in her eyes.
"Sister, don't be afraid, sister will help you." Baozhu smiled sweetly and waved. The two inner tubes restrained Gu Linqing and took out an iron spoon to dig open her mouth.
Baozhu poured down the poisonous wine, and despair began to fill Gu Linqing's eyes.
"Cough cough cough..." After drinking the poisonous wine, Gu Linqing lay on the ground coughing.
Baozhu looked at her now like a bereaved dog and murmured: "Ayan, I helped you get revenge."
The sun is shining brightly outside the door, but it doesn't warm Baozhu's body. Baozhu stood in the sun and looked hard at the sun.
"Gu Shuren is dead." An announcement came from behind, finally ending everything.
Baozhu wandered back to Weiyang Palace, where Qingtang was crying. Baozhu hugged this soft and fragrant little person, and the love in her heart almost overflowed.
The orb was pressed against Qingtang's soft face, and for some reason she was concerned about the coming of this person. When she was lost in thought, Haitang hurriedly came to report that Concubine Shu had arrived with the little prince.
Although Baozhu has become more and more calm in the past few years, when he heard the news, he became so panicked and at a loss what to do, which made Haitang a little confused.
"Haitang..." Baozhu said in a panic, "You... you go and pour the tea. Sister Aheng hasn't been here for a long time."
Haitang nodded and turned to make tea.
Bao Zhu straightened her appearance and just fiddled with her collar when Jiang Heng appeared at the door holding a little person.
"I haven't seen Sister Baozhu for a long time. How is my sister?" Jiang Heng said politely as usual.
Since Jiang Heng appeared, Baozhu's eyes couldn't help but stick to the red swaddle she was holding. Jiang Heng was a very smart woman. She immediately winked at Xiaoman and left the others in the outer hall.
Haitang and Yuenu brought pastries, and Baozhu said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, and I want to say some words of respect to women. You can go down first."
After everyone retreated, Jiang Heng and Baozhu were left looking at each other.
"Come on, give me a hug." Jiang Heng stood up suddenly, and without waiting for Baozhu to refuse, he pushed the child into Baozhu's arms.
Bao Zhu held the child in astonishment, as cautiously as if he was almost afraid of him breaking. It can be seen that Jiang Heng cares for the child with all his heart. His body is white and clean, and there is a faint milky fragrance.
She was sleeping soundly at the moment. I guess she had just fed her milk and was licking her little mouth.
Baozhu looked at the little face that looked exactly like Qingtang, and tears rolled down unconsciously. He gently left a kiss on the child's forehead and looked at it dreamily.
"I know why you don't dare to come to Hengwu Palace. You are afraid that you won't be able to leave." Jiang Heng said.
Baozhu was afraid that Jiang Heng would think too much, so he quickly shook his head and said, "No, sister, I..."
"Okay," Jiang Heng interrupted her, "The child is our common child. I won't think too much about it. You should do the same."
Baozhu looked at Jiang Heng gratefully, greedily enjoying the joy of this moment.
Jiang Heng picked up Qingtang, who was also sleeping soundly, from the cradle. She couldn't hide the love on her face. She nodded Qingtang's little mouth and said with a smile, "I heard that His Majesty named the little princess Qingtang."
Baozhu nodded, "Yes, she is as tough and beautiful as a begonia flower, but I hope she is healthy and happy."
Jiang Heng raised his chin and gestured, "Your Majesty will give the little prince a name, Qishuo."
"Qishuo..." Baozhu repeated Jiang Heng's words, looking at the baby in his arms, "Shuo'er, as gorgeous and flamboyant as fire."
"Baozhu, you will come to Hengwu Palace often in the future, and I will also come to Weiyang Palace often." Jiang Heng said solemnly, "I hope that you and I will not distinguish each other."
Bao Zhu nodded. She was extremely happy to see Shuo'er often in the future.
"The scourge of Gu Linqing is finally gone, but the Gu family is considered to be the founding hero of the country. Although Duke Gu is dead, Gu Linqing's younger brother has inherited the position of Duke." Baozhu said worriedly.
Jiang Heng gently put down Qingtang, fearing to disturb her sweet dream. He turned around and snorted, "It's just a Gu family. There is no room for making mistakes in front of my Jiang family."
Baozhu looked at Jiang Heng who seemed to have a plan and asked, "Do you have any ideas?"
Jiang Heng came closer to the orb and lowered his voice and said: "The Gu family has been plundering under the banner of royal relatives and trampling on the law at will over the years. Gu Linqing's brother is just an embroidered pillow."
"My father and brother have collected all kinds of evidence that the Gu family seizes civilian women, kills people tyrannically, and abuses criminal laws. If any one of them is found, the Gu family will be destroyed," Jiang Heng said.
Baozhu thought, now that Gu Linqing has fallen, all the glory brought by the Queen's honor will no longer exist. However, the Gu family did not know how to provide proactive assistance and made many enemies in the court. I'm afraid it's just a sign that the trees will fall and the hozens will scatter, and the building will collapse.
Sure enough, within a month, the Gu family was imprisoned and exiled. A prominent family in Youzhou fell into decline.
Baozhu stood on the city wall and looked at the long queue of exiles, with mixed feelings in his heart. Before she died, Gu Linqing cursed the orb viciously, saying did she think she could win Qi Junce's heart in this way.
Baozhu stopped when she turned to leave, but did not look back. She heard herself say in a tone so cold that there was almost no emotion: "What I have never wanted is not Qi Junce's heart."
Baozhu took a long breath, turned into white mist in the wind and snow, turned around and climbed down the high wall.
Today Qi Junce held a banquet at Wuji Hall, and everyone rushed there in the wind and snow. Baozhu walked leisurely, chatting with Yue Nu along the way.
In the blink of an eye, they reached a corner and a figure blocked Baozhu's path. Baozhu had no time to slow down and directly bumped into the broad chest.
"Ah," Baozhu supported his trembling step, raised his head, but was so frightened that he backed away a little. "It turns out to be King Yangcheng. I was distracted while walking. Please don't take offense."
Qi Fengyu's charming eyes looked up and down at Baozhu, giving Baozhu almost the illusion that he was being seen through naked. Baozhu couldn't help but lower his head. Yue Nu on the side also saw something was wrong and stood between the two of them.
"King Yangcheng, please forgive me. The banquet is about to begin. Please give way." Yue Nu said without any hesitation.
Qi Fengyu just glanced at Yue Nu hastily, not wanting to get too entangled with him. He walked straight past her and came to the front of Baozhu. Just when Baozhu was at a loss, Qi Fengyu suddenly took a deep breath into Baozhu's neck.
Baozhu blushed and looked at Qi Fengyu who was enjoying himself, and said anxiously: "How presumptuous! King Yangcheng, what are you doing?"
Qi Fengyu held down Yue Nu who was about to step over with one hand, and said with a smile but not a smile: "I once missed a girl on a windy, snowy and moonlit night. The girl was so aggressive that she even used fragrant powder to escape from the cicada's shell."
Bao Zhu's heart skipped a beat as she thought of the night she formed an alliance with Jiang Heng.
"But this kind of fragrant powder is rare in the world, but I smelled something familiar on the emperor's wife's body." Qi Fengyu raised his eyebrows, as if questioning.
Bao Zhu bravely crossed him and was about to leave. Qi Fengyu was not annoyed at all, and just said lightly: "I can help you with whatever you want to do."
Baozhu turned around in astonishment and looked at Qi Fengyu, who looked dandy, but his tone was so serious: "Think clearly, I will call you again."
Baozhu didn't dare to stay and left in a hurry.
