It was already evening when we entered the palace. When we arrived at the study, the eunuchs had already lit the lanterns outside.
And start the meal transfer.
Gu Yunqing stood outside the study door and looked at the eunuchs coming and going beside her, took a deep breath, and walked in.
In the study, the emperor only commented on the memorials at his desk. Gu Yunqing walked in and bowed, “Yunqing has seen the emperor, my emperor is in peace.”
After the ceremony, the emperor seemed to have not heard it. Gu Yunqing lay on the ground motionless, and the two of them were in a stalemate. It took about a quarter of an hour before the emperor put down the memorial in his hand and looked up at Gu Yunqing.
Under the dim light, Gu Yunqing lay obediently on the ground, her shadow like a deer on the ground.
“Get up.” Looking at Gu Yunqing’s appearance in front of him, the emperor sighed and asked Gu Yunqing to stand up.
“Yes.”
“Do you know why you were so late to enter the palace?”
“I know, because of Miss Qi’s affairs.”
“Then why did you attack Miss Qi?”
“Because she hurts someone.”
“What she hurts is just a slave by your side.”
“I am also a human being, let alone Guizhi is different.”
“What is the difference?”
“Guizhi is my relative, and I can tolerate Miss Qi’s humiliation, but I can’t stand her attack on my relatives.”
“Raise your head.”
The emperor said to Gu Yunqing, who was bent down in front of him.
Gu Yunqing slowly raised her head, and the ointment on her neck had almost been wiped by Shen Jiao. This head-up touched the wound, and blood slowly flowed out, wetting the front panel that was already wet with blood again.
“Do you know your mistake?” The emperor sighed and asked, looking at Gu Yunqing with a calm look in front of him.
