Chapter 266: Frontal toughness
Chapter 266: Frontal toughness
Although Lin Junxue did not promise in front of Gu Mo that she would definitely help her fulfill this wish,
But she already had a plan in mind, fulfilling Gu Mo's wish to leave the palace and go to the Royal Temple.
There are many innocent women in this harem, and there are many who, like Gu Mo, have suffered unexpected misfortunes and ended up becoming disheartened.
She is certainly not a saint, but she will help in any way she can.
When Gu Mo heard Lin Junxue promise her that she would do her best, she kowtowed again, eyes full of gratitude.
"Thank you very much, Queen, for your mercy. Regardless of whether this matter succeeds or not, I will always regard you as my benefactor. You are so kind and I will never forget you in my life."
In fact, before Gu Mo came, he didn't have much hope.
She has already experienced the coldness and cruelty of the harem.
She was a small noble lady who came to the Queen for help. It was reasonable for the Queen to just treat her casually or even scold her for having absurd ideas.
But the queen only asked if she didn't regret it.
Gu Mo knew that she had encountered the last warmth in this harem, and she was content.
Lin Junxue asked Gu Mo to stand up, then, his eyes fell on her face, and he spoke lightly.
"Mrs. Mo, a woman's appearance is important, but it is not everything and the only thing. What is more important than appearance is the heart. If the heart is strong and brave, then there is no need to be afraid of any rumors or gossip. If the road is bumpy, then go through it yourself. Don't live in the eyes and discussions of others. Be yourself. If you are strong, no one will dare to bully you or trample on your dignity."
This is what Lin Junxue wanted to tell Gu Mo.
Because of the scar on his face, Gu Mo cried all day long and exhausted his energy.
Looking at him today, he has lost a lot of weight and is almost skin and bones.
Zheng Jin and Qin Shushu mocked again in a sarcastic tone. If this continued, even if Gu Mo left the palace, it would take some time.
If Gu Mo continues like this these days, he might get depressed.
Even if Gu Mo left the palace someday, he would not live long with this body.
Gu Mo's eyes were red. He nodded and bowed again.
"Thank you very much for your teachings, Queen. I know your good intentions. From today on, I will be strong and will never be looked down upon by others again. I will not let you down for your concern today."
Li Shiwen and Zhang Yuyan looked at each other. Concubine Mo was indeed pitiful.
However, just like what the Queen said, who can always protect whom in this world?
Whether in this harem or outside, if you want to live well, you can only rely on yourself to face all the ups and downs and difficulties.
When Gu Mo was leaving, Zhang Yuyan called her and asked to go with her.
Someone came from Li Shiwen's palace and said that the second prince had woken up and was making a fuss. Li Shiwen also paid her respects and left Zhonghe Palace.
Lin Junxue looked at the backs of the three people as they left. Yuyan was going to stand up for Concubine Mo.
Although her nature of standing up for the weak is irrational, it is very rare in the harem.
Lin Junxue called Danzhen
"Go to Ning'an Palace and tell Jin Ronghua and Shu Jieyu that the Queen Mother caught a cold in Yushan. Ask them to copy the Lotus Sutra to pray for the Queen Mother."
Ning'an Palace
Zhang Yuyan sent Gu Mo back to the palace. As soon as she arrived at the palace gate, she saw Zheng Jin and Qin Shushu standing together. What were they talking about?
Gu Mo saw the two of them and remembered the ridicule he had heard in the past two days. His face turned pale for a moment.
However, she thought of what the Queen had said in Zhonghe Palace and tried to calm herself down.
Zheng Jin and Qin Shushu paused when they saw Zhang Yuyan beside Gu Mo. Then, they hurried forward, saluted and greeted.
Although they were all concubines who entered the palace at the same time, Zhang Yuyan is now a Zhaoyi, with a higher status than the other two, and she is the most favored among them.
The two were extremely jealous in their hearts, but they had smiles on their faces.
"I pay my respects to Consort Yan."
Gu Mo still had to pay his respects to Zheng Jin and Qin Shushu, and she was just about to do so.
Zhang Yuyan leaned sideways
Gu Mo was stunned, and at the same time, she felt touched. Zhaoyi Yan was protecting her openly and honestly.
The two of them had no friendship at all, but how could Yan Zhaoyi stand up for her like this?
She now seemed to understand why the Queen was close to Concubine Yan and Concubine Lan.
Zhang Yuyan looked at Qin Shushu and Zheng Jin and curled her lips slightly.
The Queen Mother once said, "You have to pierce the heart deeply and beat the enemy to death."
"Jin Ronghua and Shu Jieyu, you look really good. I think you two have been very free recently. Oh, by the way, the two sisters haven't been sleeping with you in recent days, so they are naturally free, so they are willing to gossip."
Zhang Yuyan's words were sharp and straightforward. It can be said that she didn't give Zheng Jin and Qin Shushu any face at all. She almost pointed at their noses and said something like that.
Zheng Jin and Qin Shushu, of course, knew what Zhang Yuyan meant?
I was just surprised that Zhang Yuyan didn't care about her face at all.
For the sake of Gu Mo, a noble who was out of favor and had his face disfigured, he said such embarrassing words in public.
For a moment, the two were caught off guard and the smiles on their faces were awkward.
In their hearts, the two of them gnashed their teeth in hatred.
Zhang Yuyan even brought up the fact that they hadn't slept together recently?
After a few seconds, Zheng Jin finally reacted. She first gave Gu Mo a warning look, and then looked at Zhang Yuyan.
"Yan Zhaoyi has listened to someone's instigation. Shu Jieyu and I are staying in our own palace, doing our duty. Yan Zhaoyi, please don't listen to others' words and misunderstand us. It's really unfair."
Compared to Zheng Jin, Qin Shushu couldn't hide her emotions on her face. She took a step forward and gave Gu Mo a vicious look, looking very unconvinced.
"Yan Zhaoyi, there must be some villain who is stirring up trouble. Yan Zhaoyi has embarrassed me and Jin Ronghua so much. Isn't that a bit too much?"
Zheng Jin looked at Qin Shushu who stepped forward and thought to himself that she was an idiot.
Zhang Yuyan is favored by the emperor, has a higher status than them, and has the queen's support behind her, so of course she cannot be offended.
However, with Qin Shushu's help, she saved herself a lot of trouble.
Anyway, if a quarrel breaks out, it will be Qin Shushu and Zhang Yuyan's business. When the time comes, the emperor will be angry with them. Why should I accept it?
Zhang Yuyan looked at Qin Shushu, who had a look of dissatisfaction on her face, and smiled slightly, a smile that could piss someone off to death.
"Too much? I don't know where it's too much. How about we go to the emperor and talk to him and see if I wronged you? Why didn't you mock the black spots on Concubine Mo's face during the days when she was poisoned? Or you didn't bully Concubine Mo. If you dare, just say a few words to me in Taiwu Palace."
Gu Mo looked at Zhang Yuyan with admiration
If she could be like Yan Zhaoyi, she wouldn't be bullied and humiliated and cry every day.
It's her fault!
Qin Shushu and Zheng Jin both knew Zhang Yuyan's temper.
From the moment she entered the palace, Zhang Yuyan dared to confront even the Concubine Chen head-on, not to mention them.
Qin Shushu looked tough, but in fact she had no confidence at all. She got scared when she heard this.
