Chapter 418: Competing for Favorite Seven: Appropriate Compromise
Princess Wan'an was frightened when she heard Gala's voice and immediately turned around, knelt on the ground and bowed her head without saying a word.
She had long known that the Queen Mother was the murderer who killed her mother's mother and cut off all contact with her. She still had the same unwilling nature to surrender when she saw her today.
Gala didn't respond for a while. Not all the princesses in this palace were from the empress dowager, so if you want to get some help from the empress dowager, it would be a daydream.
"It's a good thing that you don't know that the Ai family is coming. If you know, can you still say the ruthless words before?" The great-looking Yaoguang Palace did not see Gala stand up, and asked someone to help him sit down at the seat.
The empress dowager was clearly a person who was looking for trouble. She looked at her face and wanted to rush up and slap her. But under the eaves, Gala could only kneel down below and didn't even dare to raise her head.
"Ai family asked you, why are you so bold and not answering?" When Gala was distracted, the queen mother suddenly roared and scared Gala, and her body trembled and fell to the ground.
"Gala...Gala doesn't know what the Queen Mother said means. When did Gala say ruthless words?" Gala's voice became less and less. He was still a little scared at such an authoritative old woman. Even his speech became incoherent, not knowing what to say and what not to say.
"When did you say it? This is the palace! You are such a rude and unruly man. What are you? You can interfere with the princesses in this country? You dare to go to the emperor with shameless words. Do you have the qualifications?" The empress dowager said more and more severely, and she didn't know when she offended her.
Gala couldn't help but look up at the Queen Mother's face, and her mouth looked very much like Mama Rong.
But Gala really didn't understand. She was trying to speak for her daughter, so why was she so unreasonable?
The wildness in his bones was a little uncontrollable. Gala raised his head and opened his mouth to say something, but was grabbed by Princess Wan'an, who had not looked up, and this pull made Gala wake up. The emperor could not make the old woman angry before he came. Why did he feel like the empress dowager was eating a cannonball today?
The empress dowager was very annoyed when she saw Gala wanting to speak and stopped! She slapped the table and stood up, "Are you dissatisfied with?" As soon as the woman entered the palace, she asked the emperor to kill Concubine Ji's family. She was really capable!
"Galao dared not..." Gala rubbed her knees with her hands a few times, lowered her head and rolled her eyes.
"Qing'er is right. You really can't keep a woman like you! The Ai family warned you that if you don't love the emperor, it's best to stay away from him. There is no one in ancient and modern times who dares to make a deal with the emperor. The emperor asked you to go to the palace to be a concubine has been a blessing you have cultivated for several lifetimes, but you still dare to make conditions? If it weren't for the sake of the emperor's face today, the Ai family would have killed you, the charming boy!" The empress dowager said angrily.
What Qing'er said? Gala thought carefully that Qing'er must have been the eldest prince Yang Su who wanted to help martial arts people kill Li Bing that day! Now he finally figured out the situation. It turned out that the empress dowager hated him so much and was sued by Yang Su. He told the empress dowager about everything before and after entering the palace. He couldn't blame the empress dowager for hating him so much at once. I don't know how much seasoning Yang Su added to that sentence.
Gala kept kneeling and didn't dare to say anything. Now he was afraid that the explanation would get darker and darker. He secretly looked at the door and Hua Shang was gone. I thought that he had found something wrong and ran to Yang Jian. He was such a good girl. I hope Yang Jian can help him escape from the sea of suffering soon.
After a long time, the queen mother suddenly lost a golden token, like a great charity who gave alms to beggars, but her facial expression was still cold. She looked at Gala and said, "The Ai family has been fasting these days and is not willing to be stained with anybody's blood. Now I will give you a chance. If you still want to live, quickly get out of the palace with this token, otherwise... the Ai family will not let you have a good life."
"Empress Dowager...you can't..." Princess Wan'an suddenly looked up and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the empress dowager: "Shut up, how can you speak here? You are considered the descendant of the royal family, how can you not be called Queen Ai's mother?" The empress dowager seemed in a very fierce mood today. Princess Wan'an did not have any contact with her on weekdays and could not catch her, but she would definitely not let her have a good time when she interrupted.
Seeing that Princess Wan'an was scolded, Gala couldn't help it, and suddenly stood up. After hesitating for a moment, he stammered and said, "I...I won't leave!"
"I'm going against it." The empress dowager yelled wildly. Without her permission, the little Xianbei woman dared to stand up. Without Qing'er, she really didn't realize that this girl was so bold and rude.
The empress dowager who commanded the harem did not believe that she could not fight this little civilian! She waved her hand and smashed the cup where Galo had previously drunk with a bang to the ground. "You dare to disobey the Ai family, come here! Pull this unlucky person out and blame him. No orders from the Ai family are allowed to stop."
"No..." Princess Wan'an roared and knelt down and rushed to the front of the empress dowager, holding the hem of the empress dowager's skirt tightly with both hands, "Mother, you can't beat me! Sister Luan's body is just right and she can't stand the slaughter..."
The empress dowager looked at Princess Wan'an contemptuously. It was the first time she was willing to call her mother. What kind of magic does this woman have? She kicked Princess Wan'an mercilessly to the ground, "Stop the princess for the Ai family." After that, two palace maids pulled Princess Wan'an hard, and Princess Wan'an's tears had already covered her face, "No, you can stop..."
Gala didn't say anything and let himself be dragged out.
In this palace, she has no identity, how can she protect herself? She has prepared herself for a long time, so... she can only endure it!
It was just Princess Wan'an's shouts that moved Gala's heart... Even if she died, someone would be sad for herself, right? But she believed that she would not die! Because she still had Yang Jian!
Gala's body was placed flat on a long large chair. She held her hands tightly and closed her eyes tightly. Before she was fully prepared, a long stick suddenly hit her buttocks hard, causing heart-wrenching pain...
In order to refuse to admit defeat, the cherry lips were bitten through, blood seeped into the lips and teeth, and a bloody smell. Before I could fully feel the pain, the second stick fell down again.
It hurts! It sweats heavily as if it was raining, the heat flowing all over the body hurts, and the lower half of the body begins to numb...
The third stick...
The fourth stick...
"Ah..." Gala couldn't help it, and a roar passed through the sky. The choke hurt even more than the last time he was poisoned!
Gala's roar surrounded the entire Yaoguang Hall... Even the executor of the scepter could not bear it, and gradually reduced the weight of the scepter, but the empress dowager looked inside the house but did not dare to go any light.
Princess Wan'an had long been kneeling on the ground and shouting weakly, "Sister, sister..." Galo's lower body was numb, but it was still speechless. Her eyes began to become blurred. The pain made her wake up and feel a dazed... she wanted to go back, want to go home... miss Li Bing!
Suddenly, tinnitus came... Everything around seemed to have lost its voice. Tears covered the whole pale face...
"Gala..." I don't know how many sticks have gone down, and a roar came from Gala's side... but it sounds very hazy... Is it Yang Jian here? Finally...
After breathing a sigh of relief, Gala finally couldn't hold on and fainted.
Yang Jian heard Gala's roar from a distance, and the shouting was so irritating that his heart could not breathe.
He ignored his identity and rushed into the Yaoguang Palace like crazy, and saw Gala on the bench at a glance.
Yang Jian shouted and stopped with red eyes! He ran to Gala and helped Gala up with his hands, hugged it tightly in his arms. Tears... were flowing quietly... "I'm sorry... I promised not to let you get hurt, but I didn't protect you anymore... I'm sorry..."
"Imperial Doctor, call the Imperial Doctor! Take these slaves down to me and behead them all!" Yang Jian's devilish face turned around and yelled.
The executors who were slaughtering all fell to the ground in fright, shouting for forgiveness!
Yang Jian raised his head and looked at the Queen Mother, his mother... How could his beloved Queen Mother hurt his beloved woman so much? That angry and fierce look was something the queen mother had never seen before... She was startled and took a step back... Yang Jian ignored the Queen Mother's actions and rushed into the house with Garo in his arms.
Who can understand Yang Jian’s heartache? It’s like using a knife to scoop his heart. It’s him who can’t breathe! He hopes to bear every pain for Gala.
From now on, no matter who it is, as long as the person who hurts Gala will not let him live a better life, even if it is his mother...
After the imperial physician visited Gala, he said that it was not a big deal if he had skin trauma. However, since Gala was poisoned last time, his body became weaker and weaker. He was punished by this stick again today. He was afraid that there would be hidden dangers in the future, so he prescribed a prescription for Gala to properly adjust it and take care of it for a few more days.
What happened today has already made Yang Jian feel a sense of crisis. He is unwilling to throw Gala in this Yaoguang Palace anymore. He wants to watch her protect her all the time, and does not want to hear the heart-wrenching screams in Gala again.
He decided to take Gala to his bedroom, so that no one would hurt her anymore! He told Hua Shang Ni Shang to pack up some Gala's things, and without any preparation, he held Gala away.
But before leaving the gate of Yaoguang Hall, the empress dowager was blocked at the door. Yang Jian didn't even look at her. He was very angry now and did not want to say anything ruthless to his mother, so he could only remain silent.
When the empress dowager saw Yang Jian ignoring him directly, she was even more angry and looked at the woman in his arms and said dissatisfiedly: "What are you going to do?"
"My mother did this kind of thing today. Do you think I dare to throw Gala away in this Yaoguang Palace alone?" Yang Jian stared at the tight face of the queen mother with cold eyes, not showing any weakness. This was the first time he had a confrontation with his mother.
"Are you blaming the Ai family? Just because of such a wild girl who is not polite, coming from outside the palace?" The queen mother looked at Yang Jian unbelievably, hoping that he could give herself a reason to tell her. What kind of magic did this witch use to make her prince so obsessed and presumptuous...
"I don't want to say too much about disobedience, but I really can't watch Gala suffer in this palace. I promised that I will not let her be hurt again. No matter who it is, even you, the queen of the mother... are not allowed."
"No..." The Empress Dowager's body suddenly leaned back, and was quickly supported by the palace maid behind her. "You actually said no to the Ai family. Is this witch so fascinated you? Before meeting her, you have never said this to the Ai family." The wounds in the empress dowager's eyes were obvious, but Yang Jian was left indifferently behind her.
"My mother..." The moment she stepped out of the threshold, Yang Jian stopped and said coldly: "I love you too deeply, how can you give me up?"
The queen mother was stunned, her frown brow carried confusion and unwillingness, and the desire to speak at the corner of her mouth deepened her hatred for Gala. She could not allow her son. The king of the Sui country was destroyed by a witch for life. She must find a way to get rid of this stubborn stone.
The weather was getting colder and colder. The days when Gala was recuperating in Yang Jian's bedroom were in a prosperous state. No matter what, it was solved in one sentence.
Princess Wan'an also came to see her several times, but she never asked Gala to help her anymore, because she had always felt guilty that Gala was responsible for her own slaughter.
Gala knew her thoughts and didn't want Princess Wan'an to think about it, but once she said she would help herself, she would not forget it. She also learned through this. In fact, the empress dowager was not Princess Wan'an's biological mother, so she would undoubtedly lose that battle.
"How is your body today?" As soon as Gala finished drinking a bowl of porridge, he heard Yang Jian's voice coming from outside the door. She immediately put down the bowl in her hand and slowly stood up to greet her. She spit out a few words lightly: "It's much better... the wound no longer hurts, so you can sit gently on the chair."
After hesitating for a while, Yang Jian stroked Gala's forehead a little unfamiliarly, causing Gala's face to turn red. He wanted to escape but couldn't move.
In a trance, Yang Jian calmly said, "Why is your forehead hot again? Didn't the fever subside?"
...Why is it hot? It was obviously caused by that inconspicuous behavior? Gala gave Yang Jian a blank look and hurriedly retreated and explained: "The fever has subsided. I just ate something before, and my body is a little hot."
"Retreat...retreat." Yang Jian smiled warmly, the sun shining brightly, staring at Gala's face tightly and wondering what he was thinking...
"How is the Queen Mother's side?" Gala asked after a long time of confusion. If the Queen Mother's matter is handled quickly, there is always guilt and pressure for Gala.
She also wanted to move back to Yaoguang Hall earlier, because since she moved here, Yang Jian gave up his dragon bed to Gala, but she sat on the couch every day and squinted her eyes and held on for a night. Gala couldn't bear it...
Yang Jian was pulled back from his thoughts by Gala's words, and smiled awkwardly and skipped the topic directly, "Are you still used to living these days? I have not been able to protect you, and I have suffered so much since I entered the palace." After that, he lowered his head and lost all his authority.
In front of Gala, he seemed to have made himself insignificant. He no longer knew how he would face it without Gala in this life.
Gala lowered her head, not knowing whether to smile or remain silent at this time. Yang Jian's love saying is fake, and it is not without love. But if you fall in love with someone in this life, your heart will be full, and you will not fall in love with the second one again... Since you don't love, you should cut the mess quickly, but Gala seized this point and used this man who loved her deeply to save another man she loved deeply. She knew that this was selfish and cruel.
At first she thought that she had paid back everything with him, but now she understood that the knife she gave Yang Jian's heart was an unhealable wound... She didn't want to owe him too much, but she was unwilling to let go, because love was selfish, and all she could do was to do was to do anything for what she loved.
As for Yang Jian... she looked up at him. If there was really a next life, she would be willing to give him all her love! And in this life, she could no longer repay it.
"Can you agree to me with three conditions?" Gala seemed to learn from Yang Jian and jumped directly to the topic that he didn't want to touch.
Yang Jian looked up at Garona's pupils that were so deep that they could not see clearly. Not to mention three conditions, as long as she didn't leave him, he would give her whatever she wanted. But he knew that except for Li Bing's life and death, Garo cared almost nothing.
"Yes." He could only nod heavily.
"First, if I get better in a few days, let me go back to Yaoguang Palace. I know... you can't rest completely during my day here."
"good."
"Second, the princess doesn't want to marry Liuli, can she not force her? Negotiations don't have to sacrifice the princess' happiness." Garo's expression was very serious when she said this, because as a modern person in the 21st century, she could never accept the thoughts of others to manipulate her happiness.
Yang Jian was obviously stunned for a long time, but looking at Garona's firm eyes and frowning of angry eyebrows, he still agreed desperately.
And the aftermath will have to be dealt with very much effort. How could Gala know how huge the trouble after this matter is?
"What about the third?" While Yang Jian was waiting for Garo to say the third condition, what he received was a long silence.
He couldn't wait, and began to panic in his heart and think about the third condition. Did Gala want to leave? "You won't..."
"I want to be your queen."
Garo suddenly interrupted Yang Jian's random thoughts and said suddenly.
"What?" Yang Jian's eyes flashed with a light that had never been seen before, as if he couldn't believe that his ears were staring at Gala's eyes, as if he was afraid that she would regret it.
Gala just smiled and repeated the words just now, but what Yang Jian left behind was an indescribable joy.
Why didn't he agree? He wanted Gala to be his own queen when he took her into the palace?
