Chapter 359: Mediocre people bother themselves
Could it be that Gu Jianyue is still angry about what happened just now, but is just saying one thing and thinking another and not admitting it?
While Wen Zhu was daydreaming, Gu Jianyue had already brought him into the Kunning Palace.
Xie Qingzhi had already left. Gu Jianchu was leaning on a soft pillow with her eyes closed. After hearing the voice, she slowly opened her eyes and glanced at Wen Zhu and Gu Jianyue who were standing in front of her.
The moment Wen Zhu saw Gu Jianchu, he instantly came back to his senses, "This humble official greets Her Majesty the Queen."
Gu Jianchu raised his hand slowly, standing up straight.
"But is there something going on with the Emperor?" Wen Zhu is a favorite of Xie Ci'an. He usually doesn't go to the harem unless there is something important going on with Xie Ci'an, in which case he has no choice but to come over.
"That's right. The Emperor has sent me here to inform the Empress that news has come from the Kingdom of Dongli that the Prime Minister is plotting to usurp the throne and support his youngest son. The Kingdom of Dongli is in turmoil now, and she has important matters to attend to. I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany the Empress for dinner tonight. The Emperor has asked the Empress to have dinner by herself first, and rest if she's tired, and come back when he's done."
Gu Jianchu didn't expect that Xie Ci'an would tell her such important news.
"I understand. I have my sister and mother by my side. He doesn't need to worry and can just focus on handling government affairs. If he is really too busy, he doesn't have to come. Also, do you need me to tell Princess Rou about this?" Gu Jianchu was undecided about whether to tell Xie Qingrou about this.
Wen Zhu said truthfully, "The Emperor said that the Empress should handle it on her own. If she can't make up her mind, she can directly tell Princess Rou. After all, Princess Rou is the Queen of Dongli Kingdom, and she has the right to know about this matter. Moreover, the Emperor also said that if Princess Rou wants to go back, the Empress can directly dispatch people to escort Princess Rou to the border."
"If Your Majesty has nothing else to say, I will take my leave first." After Wen Zhu said this, he glanced at Gu Jianyue unconsciously.
But Gu Jianyue looked straight at the place not far away, without even glancing at Wen Zhu.
Wen Zhu had no choice but to leave embarrassedly.
After the temperature candle walked away, Gu Jianchu raised his hand and held Gu Jianyue's arm, pulling her to sit next to him. He stared at Gu Jianyue with his bright eyes but did not speak.
Gu Jianyue felt uncomfortable being stared at by Gu Jianchu, and raised her hands to block Gu Jianchu's eyes. "Why are you staring at me for no reason? I'm afraid there's something on my face."
Gu Jianchu pulled Gu Jianyue's hand away from his face and nodded continuously, "There is indeed something."
Gu Jianyue raised her hand and touched her face a few times, "Is there something?"
"Yes, look, her face is full of unhappiness and loss." Gu Jianchu touched Gu Jianyue's face a few times.
Gu Jianyue wanted to hit Gu Jianchu, but when she thought about the fact that Gu Jianchu was pregnant, she had to give up. She raised her hand and pinched Gu Jianchu's face, "I knew you were talking nonsense."
"How could I say anything nonsense? Your unhappiness is written all over your face. Tell me the truth, was it Wen Zhu who made you unhappy? I just saw it. You and Wen Zhu were flirting with each other, and that wasn't right. No, it was Wen Zhu who was flirting with each other one-sidedly, not two-way." Gu Jianchu took the hot water bottle handed to him by Zhuxi and held it in his hand. His body naturally leaned back and he stared at Gu Jianyue with burning eyes.
Gu Jianyue sat there in a daze without moving, then gently wiped her face. She didn't answer Gu Jianchu's question, but asked, "Is it really that obvious?"
"I can't say it's obvious, it's all written on her face. Did something happen to my sister and Wen Zhu?" Gu Jianchu sat up straight and looked at Gu Jianyue seriously.
It doesn’t matter to Gu Jianchu who Gu Jianyue is with. She just hopes that her sister can be happy and find a man she likes and who truly loves her.
Seeing that Gu Jianyue remained silent, he didn't say anything.
Gu Jianchu couldn't help but call out the system.
[Tongzi, what happened between Sister and Wenzhu? ]
[Simple. Wen Zhu was molested by Xie Qingrou. Your elder sister was watching at the time. There was no misunderstanding. It's just that your elder sister felt that she was not worthy of Wen Zhu. She also felt that given the current situation, her being with Wen Zhu would undoubtedly increase the emperor's suspicion of the Gu family. She also felt that Wen Zhu deserved the best.]
【It's just a waste of time. 】
It's inevitable for Sister to consider these things. Having already experienced an unhappy marriage, even if she were to fall in love with someone now, she wouldn't easily express her feelings. It's useless for anyone to persuade her. Sister has to think things through herself. Wen Zhu also needs to work harder to make Sister see his sincerity.
Gu Jianchu couldn't help but patted Gu Jianyue's shoulder. "Even if Sister didn't tell me, I know it. The Emperor doesn't have so many doubts about our Gu family, otherwise he wouldn't have let those concubines leave the palace and left me alone. Instead, he should be wary of me. I also tried to test the Emperor in a roundabout way before about Wen Zhu's marriage."
After hearing Gu Jianchu's words, Gu Jianyue's eyes flashed with light and expectation, but he quickly suppressed it. He just looked at his sister indifferently without asking any questions.
"The Emperor said he could arrange a marriage for them, but he was afraid of mispairing them and pointing them to someone they didn't like. He still hoped they could marry the woman they liked, even if it was the daughter of an official. He knew Chongfeng and Wenzhu well, and as long as they weren't up to any bad intentions, he would be happy with them, even if they were the daughter of an official."
"Sister, if you really like Wen Zhu, don't dwell on the past and look forward boldly. Only in this way can you live a happy life. Otherwise, it would not be fair to Wen Zhu. Sister is very clear-minded and can naturally figure it out." Gu Jianchu patted Gu Jianyue's shoulder and did not continue the topic.
Gu Jianyue did not get angry or embarrassed because her sister saw through her. She stared into the distance, as if she was lost in thought.
Gu Jianchu didn't disturb her elder sister's thoughts. He waved his hand and Zhuxi came to Gu Jianchu's side. "Go check on Xie Qingrou. If Xie Qingrou wakes up, tell her about the unrest in Dongli Kingdom. Let Xie Qingrou decide the rest herself."
After thinking about it, Gu Jianchu felt that what Xie Ci'an said made sense. It would be better to let Xie Qingrou decide on this matter. Xie Qingrou was the queen of Dongli Kingdom and she had the right to know. Moreover, Xie Qingrou's child also died in the fight in the palace. Even if Xie Qingrou had any ideas, Xie Ci'an would probably help her.
Maybe she can take the opportunity to avenge her baby, and then maybe she can let go of the things that have been weighing on her mind, and then she can let go of the past and start a new life.
