Gu Qingning finally entered the Golden Palace Ming Hall.

Half a month after the death of the eldest princess of Jinyi, she rushed into the palace with her father and younger brother as the new Zhengwupin Gongbu Langzhong, and began to participate in politics in the Golden Palace.

This is the first time in hundreds of years that a non-imperial woman has entered the Golden Palace, so it is quite eye-catching.

She would have been nervous before, but now she didn't notice anything different about her.

After experiencing this kind of thing, her heart became more fearless, but also more confused. To be honest, she knew that there was only one path in front of her, but the scary thing was that she began to hesitate to go down......

That man died in her arms like that, she couldn't forget it, and she wanted to follow that man's path, but where did that path end?

The sound of the golden chime sounded, the hundred officials entered the court, and the three Gu family members who belonged to the three departments walked forward together, Gu Qingning and Gu Qinghuan still followed Gu Qingxuan, stepping into the Golden Palace, regardless of the sideways glances of others, the expressions of the three were the same calm, pampered and not shocked, and then changed their shoes, and each dispersed among the hundred officials.

After dispersing, they walked out of the Golden Palace, and the three of them came together again. Gu Qingxuan turned his head to look at Gu Qingning and asked, "Qingning, what's wrong with you?

In fact, his injuries have not fully recovered, and his complexion is not good, but he has a little more energy.

Gu Qinghuan also said: "Yes, sister, what's wrong with you? Today is your first time in the court, I thought you would be very happy......

Gu Qingning raised his eyes to look at him, lowered his head again, shook his head woodenly, and did not answer Gu Qingxuan's words, so he got into the carriage and went to the official office of the Ministry of Industry.

After she left, Gu Qinghuan said to Gu Qingxuan: "Father, it seems that my sister really has something on her mind." ”

Gu Qingxuan looked at the carriage in the distance, slightly distracted, and couldn't say anything wrong, but felt inexplicably flustered.

Since that time when he faked his death, Gu Qingning has not spoken to him for a long time...... Why?

……

After helping Gu Qingxuan achieve the goal of destroying Lu, Hong Luotian did not plan to stay in Chang'an City, he would leave and continue to do his family's business. This time, Gu Qingfeng did not go with him immediately, but chose to stay and accompany Gu Qingxuan, who had not recovered from his injuries.

Of course, there is another reason for him to stay, that is, Chen Juntong, the county lord of Chengshuo.

He has been paying attention to her, not only because he has a good impression of her unconsciously, but also because he knows that there are not many people in this world who can make his sister Gu Qingning care, and he doesn't want them to be sad.

Since Lu Yuanze's burial, Chen Juntong has returned to Ning at home, lived in the palace of King Jinxuan for a long time, was depressed all day long, and proposed to King Jinxuan to become a monk, if it were not for the opposition of King Jinxuan, I am afraid that she would have already gone to Tianzi Mountain and entered Lingyuan Temple.

The father and daughter have their own opinions, and they have been comforting each other for a long time, refusing to retreat. King Jin Xuan only has such a daughter, so she naturally cherishes and cares for her, how can she always accompany the ancient Buddha for a lifetime?

He also understood that Jun Tong's current pain was caused by his own mistakes, and he felt quite guilty in his heart, and tried every means to compensate her, and played in Chang'an City, using all kinds of methods just to coax her to laugh.

After finding out the whereabouts of the Jinxuan Palace, Gu Qingfeng quietly slipped into the palace and put something in the courtyard where the county lord lived. When Jun Tong saw it the next day, he really smiled. When this news reached the ears of King Jin Xuan, he was quite happy.

But Uncle Tang of Gu Mansion was not happy at all, early in the morning, he found that the windmill and water wheel under the corridor were missing, and he suspected that a thief had entered the mansion, so he made various inspections. Because it was Shen Lanxi's relic, Gu Qingxuan was also very nervous, and the Gu Mansion panicked.

In the next few days, there were other things missing in the mansion, almost all of them were Gu Qingning's things, and the gadgets she had made in her spare time disappeared one by one out of thin air.

At first, she was strange, but then she didn't pursue it.

Eventually, Gu Qingfeng was caught by Gu Qingning, who accidentally returned home early.

He was holding a pony she made, and as soon as he turned around, he bumped into Gu Qingning who was standing outside the door, so he had to cover things with his sleeves and smile at her pretending to be unharmed: "Sister, did you come back so early today?"

Gu Qingning only asked, "Is she okay?"

Gu Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, and smiled: "It turns out that my sister knows everything......?"

She smiled with relief, "It's okay, you're doing a great job." Does she like that?"

He nodded innocently: "Mmmm, she likes it very much, she laughs when she sees these gadgets, saying that she is bored at home, and she likes to watch these ...... She was always unhappy, chanting Buddhist scriptures all day long, and she would only be happy when she saw these little things. ”

Gu Qingfeng approached Gu Qingning flatteringly, and muttered with a hippie smile: "Sister, look, I have almost moved everything in your house...... Do you know what? May 10 is her birthday, and I don't know what to give her...... Good sister, you can help me. ”

Gu Qingning took out the things in his arms, poked his forehead and said, "What's the matter with you always borrowing flowers to offer Buddhas like this? If you want to please the little girl, you have to be a little sincere, why don't you learn to make something to give to her? She must be very happy." ”

So Gu Qingfeng listened to her suggestion, not as skillful as her, so he learned the simplest carving, and planned to carve a small wooden statue for Jun Tong as a birthday gift.

……

Now that the Ministry of Industry is no longer busy, Gu Qingning is also idle, and he no longer always goes home late as before. However, she did not slack off, and she would personally supervise everything in the construction department, and she would also personally teach the new counselors.

Today, on a whim, she went to the fortification room to build a model of the city wall, but it was delayed until late, perhaps she just subconsciously didn't want to go home......

She lay on the edge of the sand table in a daze, and someone walked up behind her and patted her on the shoulder.

How can there be anyone at this time?

Gu Qingning was really startled, and when he turned around, he saw the person, but he was even more frightened, "Lu Yuansi?"

At this time, standing in front of her was no longer the unruly and willful Miss Xiangfu in brocade clothes, she was wearing a simple cloth dress and her face was haggard, but when she faced Gu Qingning, there was still pride in her eyes.

"You didn't die, weren't you beheaded?" Gu Qingning stepped back in a daze.

She walked forward, expressionless, and said, "Yes, I should have died with my family...... But my father was reluctant to let me die...... Before he raised the incident, in order to prevent accidents, he sent me out of Chang'an, and after the incident, the Lu family ...... Full of ...... It's my maid who pretends to be me and ...... for me Damn ......"

Gu Qingning looked at her in a panic, "Then why don't you run away? What should you do if you show up like this and get caught? Yuansi! You go quickly! You leave Chang'an quickly!"

Looking at Gu Qingning's appearance at this time, she almost believed that Gu Qingning was really worried about her, but she would rather persuade herself not to believe it, and sneered: "Gu Qingning, what are you afraid of? What can I do with you alone? What can I do with your Gu family? I won't escape, my whole family is dead, how can I live alone?"

Gu Qingning kept shaking his head: "No, no, you want to live! You go! I will pretend that I have never seen you! You can rest assured that I will not hurt your ......"

Lu Yuansi interrupted her: "Enough, Gu Qingning, it's all at this time, what are you pretending to be? I came to see you, but I didn't plan to live." I just want to accomplish one thing, and I die without regrets. ”

Gu Qingning was slightly stunned: "What do you want me to help you do?"

She pursed her chapped lips and hesitated, "I want to see Jiang Xian, I know you know him...... Do you know where he is?"

How can there be such a stupid person?

Gu Qingning was even more distracted, at a loss, avoiding her expectant gaze, and didn't know how to reply to her for a while.

If she doesn't let her see it, she won't be able to let it go.

If she really let her see it, she would have already held her heart to death.

How can this be?

Gu Qingning looked at her, almost in a pleading tone, and said, "I, I know where he is...... But can you promise me to live well? Will you leave Chang'an when you see him?"

Lu Yuansi shook off her hand and shook his head firmly: "You are not qualified for me to promise you." ”

"And what if Jiang Xian wants you to live?" she continued to try.

Lu Yuansi said: "Gu Qingning, I'm not you, I'm Gu Nian's favor, my whole family is dead, do you think I will still live because of one person? I just want to see him one last time, you should do it? Even if you don't have to face him, just let me look at him from a distance, okay?"

Why are you so obsessed?

Gu Qingning knew that Lu Yuansi hated her, but at this moment, she begged her for such an illusory thought, and she was desperately thinking about how she could let Lu Yuansi survive?

She thought for a long time, and finally nodded: "Okay." I'll take you to her. ”

Lu Yuansi put on a hat, waited for Gu Qingning to blow out the lights in the fortification, closed the door, followed behind her, and walked out.

Outside the official office of the Ministry of Industry, she looked back, then turned her head to look at the official uniform on Gu Qingning's body, and asked with a wry smile: "How did you do it?"

Being reminded of too many memories by her question, Gu Qingning lowered his eyes and took a deep breath: "You never know what I sacrificed......"

Watching their loved ones die one by one, one by one far away from themselves...... Finally fulfilled her wish, when she had lost enough, it was time to gain, wasn't it?

Lu Yuansi also smiled, looking at Gu Qingning like this, he really didn't know whether he should hate, envy, or sympathize?

Perhaps, she knew? She just knew Gu Qingning's deepest and biggest secret......

The two walked on the road, and Lu Yuansi took advantage of the light of the sky to look at Gu Qingning's calm side face through the hanging veil of the hat: "Do you know why I didn't like you since I was a child?"

Gu Qingning was really puzzled: "Why?"

She looked ahead, still walking with her back straight, and said, "Because you are so fake, I always knew that you didn't love my big brother." Maybe even you haven't figured it out yourself, you seem to be very sincere to your eldest brother since you were a child, you have done a lot of things for him, and sacrificed a lot, but you have never been sincere to him...... You are like the women who are attracted to my eldest brother's appearance, no, you are worse than them, they really like some of my brother's virtues, but you? You know my eldest brother best, but you don't like him at all...... I've hated you since I was a kid, I hate your cleverness, your emotionless cleverness......"

Gu Qingning turned around, glanced at her, and said nothing, Jiang Yuelou's shadow appeared in front of her, she pulled out a sneer, and said deliberately: "Yes, I am ruthless, but what can I do if I am affectionate? Aren't you hurt by people? You, you're so stupid......"

Lu Yuansi glared at her. Gu Qingning's face was expressionless, led her into Jiangyue Tower, first asked her to wait in a private room, and she went to find "Jiang Xian".

Jiang Xiange would go to Gu Mansion to take care of Gu Qingxuan these few nights, making some medicinal food for him every day without stopping, and staying in Gu Mansion all day long, helping the Gu family to take care of it.

It was a little late at this time, she had just come back from Gu's mansion, and she didn't want Gu Qingning to wait for her at her house.

As soon as the two met, Gu Qingning told Lu Yuansi about it, and asked her how to make a decision, whether to let Jiang Xian reappear?

Jiang Xiange thought about it for a long time, and finally shook her head sadly: "Forget it, it's time for her to know the truth...... But I'm afraid that this will hit her too hard. ”

Gu Qingning said: "After the disaster of annihilation, what do you think can hurt her more at this time?" Xiange, I don't want her to die, but when she came to me, it has already shown that she has no heart to live, what can I do to make her have the desire to live? Is there any way to make her die and leave Chang'an?"

Jiang Xiange nodded in understanding and meditated with her, "Qingning, I'll go and apologize to her, and then persuade her, maybe she will leave Chang'an?"

Gu Qingning thought for a while, her brows were still furrowed, she hesitated for a moment, nodded, and took her hand: "Then let's try it." ”

……

In this way, they went to Lu Yuansi's private room together. When Jiang Xiange appeared in front of Lu Yuansi, she was stupid and couldn't believe what she saw in front of her.

Jiang Xiange approached her and said gently: "Yuansi, I'm sorry, I lied to you, Jiang Xian...... There is no such thing as ......"

"No!" the broken voice was full of hatred: "How can you deceive me like this?"

Gu Qingning stepped forward and said, "Don't blame her, it's all my idea, at that time, in order to prevent you from marrying into the Yin family, I let the string song girl disguise herself as a man and contact you......"

Lu Yuansi looked directly at Gu Qingning, listening to her tell the truth, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his broken eyes, gritted his teeth, and did not let Gu Qingning have the slightest room for reaction, and directly pulled out the hairpin on his head and stabbed it at Gu Qingning's heart.

Jiang Xian Singer quickly pushed Gu Qingning, but still didn't dodge in time, the hairpin pierced Gu Qingning's shoulder, and blood seeped out from under her official uniform.

Sure enough, this is retribution.

That night, she killed Lu Yuanze like this, and also committed suicide in front of Zhongli, but she didn't atone for her sins, this is good, retribution is still coming.

In Jiang Xiange's exclamation, Gu Qingning covered her wounds, instinctively grabbed the empty teacup next to her, and threw it at Lu Yuansi angrily, but Jiang Xiange subconsciously staggered and blocked before Lu Yuansi, and the teacup smashed into her face!

Her head flicked, and the sharp shards still cut a hideous cut on her immaculate cheek.

"Xian Ge!" Gu Qingning was suddenly frightened, even more frightened than when he was in danger, and rushed towards Jiang Xiange.

Lu Yuansi was also unable to possess her body at that moment, and her heart was greatly shaken, and it was even more unbelievable that Jiang Xiange actually blocked her so ruthlessly?

A woman's appearance is as important as life, let alone such a beauty?

Gu Qingning trembled, didn't dare to look directly at Jiang Xiange's injured face for a while, hugged her, and couldn't stop crying: "Xiange, Xiange, I'm sorry, I'm sorry......"

Jiang Xiange frowned because of the pain, she could feel the blood flowing out of the wound and quickly stained half of her face, she tried to touch it with her hand, but she still didn't dare, withdrew her hand, came back to her senses, saw Gu Qingning's shoulder bleeding, and said distressedly: "Qingning, you get up first, don't panic, let's stop the bleeding first, it's okay, Qingning." ”

Seeing Gu Qingning hugging Jiang Xian and crying out, Lu Yuansi really believed it, it turned out that Gu Qingning was not ruthless.

Jiang Xiange took out a silk handkerchief, covered his injured face, raised his face to look at the frightened Lu Yuansi, and pleaded: "Yuansi, no matter what you say, I'm sorry for you, you can blame me, you can hate me, but don't blame Qingning, okay? You are also very miserable, why don't you let yourself live a little easier? The dead are gone, your father managed to save your life with great difficulty, you can't let him down, you just live well, okay?"

Lu Yuansi lowered her head, cried, and knelt in front of Jiang Xiange, looking at half of her face covered with blood, as well as the dazzling red on Gu Qingning's shoulders, she was at a loss, and felt that her hatred had become nowhere to place for a while.

The consul of Jiang Yuelou outside heard the movement in this room, hurried over, and asked outside the door, "Miss, what's wrong?"

Jiang Xiange and Gu Qingning glanced at each other, Gu Qingning turned her head, she already understood what Jiang Xiange meant.

Lu Yuansi knew that if they called people in, they would be in a catastrophe, she looked at Jiang Xiange, Jiang Xiange held her trembling hand, and said calmly outside: "It's okay, Consul Zhang, please help me prepare a carriage and send my guests out of the city later." ”

Consul Zhang was puzzled: "Leaving the city so late?"

Jiang Xiange only replied: "Yes, she has something at home and has to rush back, Consul Zhang, hurry up and prepare...... Oh yes, let's call Tang Huan first. ”

Consul Zhang outside answered, and went to work.

Jiang Xiange immediately turned his head to Lu Yuansi and said: "You can pack up later, change into men's clothes, take a carriage out of the city, and leave Chang'an! Don't worry, Consul Zhang is a reliable person, he won't ask you anything more, do you have any silver on you? You take these and these jewelry, you can keep them all, and you can respond to emergencies when you live outside, if you need anything in the future, write to me, and I will help you." ”

She let the wound on her face hurt, and kept taking out silver and jewelry from her body and stuffing them into Lu Yuansi's hands, telling in an orderly manner.

Then she went to the door, and asked the waiter to call her maid through the door, and whispered to the maid to bring men's clothes and gauze for wounds.

Her personal maid Tang Huan came in, and was frightened when she saw all this, Jiang Xiange did not hesitate at all, and commanded Ruoding, asking her to order someone to invite Dr. Zhang, and then go and get her men's clothes and wound gauze.

Tang Huan quickly brought the things, and then Jiang Xiange asked her to disguise Lu Yuansi.

Jiang Xiange helped Gu Qingningan sit down, gently unbuttoned her blouse, and gave her hemostatic medicine. Because she has been taking care of Gu Qingxuan these days, she also has some experience in healing, Gu Qingning's wounds are not very deep, fortunately, she has not been injured to a fatal point, and she can cope with it for the time being.

Lu Yuansi changed into the clothes of "Jiang Xian" at the other end of the room, and listened to Gu Qingning on the other side let out a miserable scream.

It was Jiang Xiange who pulled out the hairpin for her.

Hearing this heart-rending voice, Lu Yuansi was suddenly confused, is this revenge?

When Jiang Xiange was dressing Gu Qingning, Gu Qingning also endured the pain, checked the wound for her, and saw that the one-inch-long wound on her right face was still bleeding, no matter how much gauze could be blocked, Gu Qingning's tears could not be flowed endlessly.

She is not afraid of her own retribution, even if she dies because of it? But how innocent is her string song?

"Xian Ge, this may leave a scar, what should I ......do? I'm truly unforgivable......" she broke down and choked.

Jiang Xiange wiped her tears: "Qingning, is it okay to let her go?"

……

That night, Consul Zhang drove the carriage, dotted the guards guarding the city, and sent Lu Yuansi out of the city.

However, none of them knew that after dawn, Lu Yuansi came back, and from then on, she hid incognito in Chang'an City with her hatred.

She thought that Jiang Xiange had a sentence that was still very right, her father finally let her survive, how could she live up to the opportunity in this life?

As long as she still has a breath of air, the Lu family will not die, and she will never give up if she does not avenge the destruction of the door.
