Chapter 125: Traveling through the Prince's Mansion 04
Li Zhong saw that the emperor cared about Gu Li, and he whispered in agreement: "Your Majesty, this Prince Yongping is too bold to bring a woman like that into the palace. It's really----"
The emperor pinched his brows and sighed, "Even if we don't give face to the royal family, we have to consider Jiang Yun's face. After all, he is Jiang Yun's son in name. Jiang Yun is still accompanying the Queen Mother to worship Buddha in the West Mountain. Let's wait until they come back to discuss everything."
Li Zhong thought, if he didn't deal with Liu Bojiao clearly, he might not want Gu Li to lose her only support in the future.
After Gu Li's father, who was the top scholar in the imperial examination, married her mother, he was transferred to Fengyu County to be the county magistrate. Later, he was promoted to the position of prefect. Due to an epidemic in the subordinate counties, Prefect Gu went to the epidemic city in person and finally died in office.
Jiang Yun, who was already pregnant at the time, heard the bad news and died of hemorrhage, leaving two lives.
In the end, only Gu Li was left. Jiang Yun sent someone to take her back to the capital and raised her in the Prince's Mansion. It has been five years since then.
After so many years of getting along, Gu Li already knew what kind of person Liu Bojiao was.
His concubines, taking advantage of the fact that the old princess was not in charge of affairs and Gu Li had no one to rely on, would always come to Gu Li to show off their power.
Gu Li, who lived under someone else's roof, endured it again and again.
It was her aunt who took her in when she was helpless. She didn't have the heart to destroy the already limited mother-son relationship between her aunt and her cousin, and she didn't want to disturb her aunt's meditation.
So the cheerful little girl gradually grew up to be a coward with low self-esteem and a timid person. The old princess, who was devoted to worshipping Buddha, ignored the socializing of the women in the capital, so Gu Li had no chance to go out and make friends. Even when she entered the palace, she only went to sit for a while with the Queen Mother.
There is only admiration and fear for the majestic emperor.
The Queen Mother was also worried that the Emperor would be reminded of Jiang Yuan, who had passed away young, when he saw Gu Li, so she deliberately avoided Gu Li from appearing in front of the Emperor over the years.
Therefore, the emperor had hardly seen Gu Li since Jiang Yuan's death, let alone like today, when she came to him for help and complained like a little child.
Good people are often bullied, this has been the truth since ancient times.
She takes a step back, and someone always wants to take two steps forward.
The original body endured like this until she married Liu Baijiao and became Liu Baijiao's legal wife. Then she watched Liu Baijiao bring women into the yard one after another, and the children in the Prince's Mansion jumped down one by one like the sand in the hourglass.
As a childless woman, she devoted all her energy to the Prince's Mansion.
Gu Li had to maintain the dignity of the Prince's Mansion externally, balance the competition among the concubines internally, and also take the trouble to raise a large courtyard of illegitimate sons and daughters.
She thought it didn't matter if Liu Bojiao didn't like her, she could also do as her aunt did and choose a illegitimate son with good qualifications to be registered under her name and inherit the title of the Prince's Mansion.
But she didn't expect that after she had finally waited for the children to grow up, and several of them were about to establish their own families, she was poisoned and her voice was hoarse by a bowl of poison, and she was sent to the most remote courtyard of the palace.
The rebellious son stood at her bedside and said, "Mother, you have worked hard for so many years. I will send you to Qingjingyuan to enjoy a good life. From now on, your biological mother will take care of your son's affairs."
There was no such thing as a Qingjing Courtyard in the palace. It was clearly a dilapidated courtyard he made up.
She wanted to ask why.
Why do they treat her like this? Why can't they see her forbearance and dedication?
why?
The original body kept asking why unwillingly, and was so resentful that she was easily captured by Sanliang, making her the next target of Gu Li's mission.
why?
Of course it was because the favor bestowed upon her had disappeared. The empress dowager had died, the old princess consort had also died, and the prince whom the emperor wanted to foster had no relationship with Gu Li.
She no longer had the support behind her, and those people no longer bothered to hide their ugly faces.
Ultimately, it was because her own abilities were too weak.
Queen Mother, when Jiang Yun was still alive, they enjoyed the benefits brought to them by the power behind Gu Li. Now, I don’t know if they can withstand the backlash of this power!
Blindly tolerating it will only increase others' ambitions. A mere concubine who is not worthy of being shown in public can actually flirt with the male owner in front of the future mistress of the house and provoke her.
Gu Li must go crazy and let them taste the consequences of bullying her!
After digesting the original owner's resentment, Gu Li's eyeballs turned under her eyelids. It was not difficult for Gu Li to resolve this resentment.
It's nothing more than fighting back against those who bullied her one by one, and then having another fulfilling life.
However, Gu Li felt sorry for the original owner, as he had a good hand at the beginning but played it badly.
Her grandmother sacrificed her own life to bring wealth and glory to two generations of her children, but ended up like that.
It’s true.
Not worth it.
Women should love themselves first.
Love yourself a little more and give others less chances to hurt you, so that you won’t end up in a miserable situation.
The maid guarding the bed saw Gu Li's eyelashes move, and she happily bent over to check, "Miss Gu, are you awake?"
Thinking of what the emperor said before he left, that bastard Liu Baijiao was not allowed to get up as long as she didn't wake up, Gu Li slowed down her breathing and allowed herself to fall asleep again.
If you can't destroy his restless third leg, it would be better to destroy his other two legs first.
Gu Li slept until dawn the next day and was shocked. She thought that Liu Baijiao might have broken his leg kneeling outside.
Kneeling in the snow all night, even if you don’t die, your legs will be broken.
Gu Li got up from the bed and said, "Where is this? Where am I? Hey, where is my mother?"
The palace maid who was on night watch immediately called the imperial physician who was standing outside, and a flurry of activity ensued. Soon, the imperial physician ran to Longyuan Palace to report to the emperor.
"You mean Gu Li broke her head and lost five years of memory, and her memory is still stuck at the time when she was eleven years old and accompanied her mother back to Beijing to visit relatives?"
The emperor was shocked, but this also explained the strangeness of her words and actions in the hall.
"Your Majesty, this is how it should be."
"Can it be cured?"
"This person's brain is a very complicated place. Although it is just a small bump, I don't know how serious the damage is inside. I dare not make any rash comments. There may be blood stasis inside. When the blood stasis disappears, Miss Gu's memory will be restored. Or it may be like this in the future."
There are many examples in the market of people who hit their heads and became lifelong idiots.
It is a miracle for someone like Gu Li to only lose a few years of memory.
The imperial physician didn’t know, but Gu Li knew very well that what she had was called selective amnesia.
The next step is to become arrogant due to your favor!
