Chapter 245 Memories of the Past Life

This shows how much the late emperor favored this beauty.

However, this favor disappeared after only five months. Fortunately, she was pregnant with a prince, which helped her regain the favor and attention of the late emperor. In the end, she was promoted several positions because of her son, and barely got the position of a virtuous concubine. Then, due to the sudden death of the late emperor, she was buried with the late emperor in the imperial mausoleum.

The one guarding the imperial mausoleum was Prince Qing, and his mother was none other than Concubine Xian.

As for why the Qing prince was sent to guard the imperial mausoleum, no one knew. They only knew that this was the will of the late emperor. This was the last oral instruction left by the late emperor before his death, and many ministers heard it.

This time it was not Qi Yunjin who pulled Gu Junqing forward, but Gu Junqing who held Qi Yunjin's hand and walked straight forward without stopping.

Qi Yunjin looked at Gu Junqing who was leading him away unconsciously, and the smile in his eyes grew more and more intense, almost as if it was about to overflow.

In fact, the arch bridge is secondary, the most important thing is the Pingyun River under the arch bridge.

During every Lantern Festival, the most people come to this arch bridge to release lanterns.

Thousands of lanterns are sliding in the Pingyun River, and inside the lanterns are the wishes of the people.

Just like at this moment, there were one or two pairs of men and women standing on the stairs below, they looked like a couple, an unmarried couple, or brothers and sisters. There were also people standing alone below, in a daze or feeling sad.

But these are not the main points. The main point is that the various lanterns they placed under the water slowly flow towards the distance along the direction of the water.

The Pingyun River at night appears particularly warm and peaceful against the backdrop of the lively lights and voices around it. The breeze on a summer night is always gentle and soft, and slight ripples appear on the water surface, spreading outward in a circle, making it look particularly leisurely when you look closely.

One or two lanterns were swaying on the leisurely water surface, dancing in the breeze and drifting towards the unknown southern land.

Watching this scene really makes people calm down.

Gu Junqing watched with his eyes open, and who knows what unhappy thing he was thinking about. His usually bright and dazzling eyes gradually dimmed, as if the stars had fallen into the sea and disappeared without a trace, which was heartbreaking.

Qi Yunjin had been looking at her, but after staring at the lake for a long time, she suddenly became sad. Her eyes were almost out of focus, and she just stared at the lake blankly, with an almost unspeakable loneliness. There was no emotion on her face, just blank. Qi Yunjin looked at her like this, and he had the illusion that the person in front of him was about to be blown away by the summer wind. He couldn't help but regret following her here. "What is General Gu thinking about?"

Unable to bear with her thinking any further, Qi Yunjin asked.

The emperor is calling her.

Gu Junqing was thinking about his own things when he suddenly heard Qi Yunjin's voice. He was asking him what he was thinking about.

Gu Junqing thought too much.

It has been a long time since I last visited this place. It seems like two lifetimes have passed since I last visited this place.

The last time she came here was because in her previous life she stole the military token from the previous emperor in order to chase after Prince An’s men.

As a result, he found out that the military token in the hands of the late emperor was not stolen by Prince An's men. He had received the wrong information and acted rashly without thinking about the key points. That's why he was suspected by the late emperor. In addition, at this time in his previous life, the court had almost been bought by Prince An. He was one of the few minions of the late emperor at that time, and with the half of the military token in his hand, almost everyone tried to make the emperor lose trust in them and take back the military token in his hand.

This makes it easier for them to act, as they don't have to split into two groups to deal with two people.

At that time, she chased the group of people here and saw that the group of people threw the package that she thought contained the military token into the water. She took great effort to fish out the package they threw under the water, but Prince An's people and those ministers hinted at her from time to time or spoke ill of her in front of the late emperor without making a sound, making the late emperor think that she wanted to replace him with his own army.

Preconceived ideas are actually scary. They can kill people silently and make them feel they are right. This actually means living a lifetime in the misunderstandings and stupidity of their own creation.

The late emperor finally believed them and began to doubt himself.

In the end, it led to the tragedy at the beginning. Gu Junqing thought of this and smiled bitterly. His face was full of ups and downs, and he lowered his head so that people couldn't see clearly.

At this time, Qi Yunjin saw the bitter smile on her lips, frowned, and couldn't help but call her again.

Gu Junqing came back to her senses, thinking of what the emperor had asked her just now, she pursed her lips, shook her head and said in a calm tone:

"Nothing, I just felt a little emotional when I thought about the unpleasant things that happened in the past."

It looked like she was not willing to continue the conversation. Qi Yunjin kept frowning and finally looked at Gu Junqing. In the end, he did not force her to continue.

He just nodded and took her hand and walked away.

Both of them dressed up simply when they left the palace, especially Qi Yunjin, who tried hard to dress herself more ordinary so as not to make people think she was too ostentatious.

So Li Yuan deliberately chose a long gown that he had bought some time ago and gave it to him to change into.

Even though they were dressed as low-key as possible, their outstanding faces could not be concealed. Fortunately, Gu Junqing reacted quickly and picked out two masks for the two of them from a mask shop, which reduced the attention of others.

In fact, there was nothing worth visiting, so Gu Junqing glanced at Qi Yunjin, whose handsome face was hidden by the mask and whose current mood could not be seen.

He hesitated to speak, thought for a while, and finally asked, "Where else does Your Majesty want to go?"

Qi Yunjin paused when he heard this and looked at her sideways: "Let's stop shopping and go to Li Yuan's place."

Gu Junqing breathed a sigh of relief and slowed down her pace to let the emperor walk ahead and lead the way. Her hand was still held tightly by someone.

After thinking about so many things in her past life that made her feel depressed, Gu Junqing was now in a really irritable mood. However, she did not dare to show it in front of the emperor. She could only secretly think of other things in her mind to distract herself.

But his thoughts could not keep up with his own ideas. He kept thinking about the emperor's distrust of him in his previous life and the moment when he fell to the ground.

Thinking of this, Gu Junqing was filled with resentment and resentment. He didn't know who he was blaming, maybe himself, or the emperor in his previous life, or maybe someone else.
