Before Lu Yuansi lost his breath, they rushed to the Yang Mansion, and Gu Qingning asked people to go in to report and briefly explain the situation.

Jiang Xiange came out, Yang Rongan followed her, she was very uneasy, but at this time, she couldn't take care of anything else. Jiang Xiange didn't talk to Gu Qingning, and directly skipped her and got into the carriage and met with Lu Yuansi.

It was another snowy day, and they finally met again.

Lu Yuansi burst into tears, kept vomiting blood, and couldn't stop crying: "Are you ...... You are ......"

Jiang Xiange was really shocked to see her like this, her heart ached, she didn't think that she would be able to see Lu Yuansi, for this girl, she always had a different kind of feelings, not deep, but reluctant, she always only hoped that she could live well, but why did it turn out like this?

She hugged Lu Yuansi and let her lean on her shoulder, and tears flowed down her eyes: "I'm Jiang Xian, I'm Jiang Xian, Yuansi, Yuansi......"

Lu Yuansi snuggled up to her, the blood at the corner of his mouth soaked Jiang Xiange's cloak, he no longer had the strength to speak, and the signs of life disappeared little by little on her, but at this moment, he was happy from the bottom of his heart and smiled. The wind is dignified, the snow is falling, the night is quieter and deeper, the whole city sleeps, the belated snow makes this prosperous Chang'an change color, the city tower is like a jade cluster, the city is full of silver makeup, a few lights are cast on the snow, one by one with silver light, gorgeous and deep.

The snow in the sky is drifting, and the old country is changed.

The people of Chang'an have not stopped, and the road to life is boundless.

Chang'an is still that Chang'an, or the imperial capital of the prosperous era, but she is no longer her.

She also loved Chang'an, loved its morning bell and dusk drum, loved its palace painting boat, loved the Shangyuan lantern year after year, and loved the bright moon day after day......

My favorite is the snowy day in Chang'an.

"That's good, Kang Hyun...... Jiang Xian, it's snowing again, you can send me home......"

……

Gu Qingning went home and went to the main house to see Gu Qingxuan.

During this period of time, Gu Qingxuan had rested very early, and the lights in the main house had been turned off early at this time, but not tonight.

Gu Qinghuan had been waiting for her to come back, and stopped her as soon as he entered the door, hearing her say that she had really killed Lu Yuansi, he was very frightened and on the verge of collapse, "Sister, how can you ...... What now?"

"He doesn't want Lu Yuansi to die, and I want Lu Yuansi to die, it's a big deal that I will pay him for his life, don't worry, I will always give him an explanation." ”

There has never been anyone who is the absolute protagonist, no one who can't be defeated, how can a person who has weaknesses and flaws from the beginning be the final winner?

Yes, that's it, she gave up, and Gu Qingning came to her end.

This time, she came to see her father as a farewell.

This time, Gu Qingxuan seemed to feel something, and didn't let Yang Xiaoning stop her at the door, and directly opened the door for her to enter.

When she entered the room, she saw her father, whom she had not seen for many days, who still seemed to be very weak and coughed very much, and when she came in, he did not open his eyes, and listened to her, and kept coughing.

"Why?"

Gu Qingning told him what she had done and her determination, and after that, he inevitably asked this.

Gu Qingning knelt in front of his father's sickbed, his face down and silent.

Gu Qingxuan got up, and his already hoarse voice began to tremble at this time, "Qingning, what kind of secret is it? As for letting you lose Lu Qian, an important chess piece, you have to risk your own life? The absurd thing is that this is not to keep the secret! Since it will eventually be leaked, why do you have to pay such a heavy price?"

She remained silent.

Gu Qingxuan couldn't hold it anymore, Gu Qingning's silence challenged the bottom line of his patience, "Qingning! Tell me! Father orders you!"

Gu Qingning could only say: "But father, you said that you promised your mother that you would never ask......

"Sure enough, it was the Luoyang incident......"

Gu Qingxuan's emotions were suppressed, and he ended the temptation, and only said, "But Qingning...... I already know it......"

Gu Qingning was stunned in her heart, looked up in amazement, and saw Gu Qingxuan take out a letter and throw it at her.

She was flustered, and hurriedly picked it up to see that it was Yin Chengyuan who sent a letter to Gu Fu today, telling Gu Qingxuan that Gu Qingning had exchanged with him, transferred Lu Yuansi and took the confession, and gave them Lu Qian's confession accordingly, and also canceled the review of Lu Qian, and he also told the cause and effect of this matter, including the secret of Gu Qingning that he heard from Lu Yuansi.

Gu Qingning glanced at the content on the paper, his heart was as cold as ice, and he suddenly lost all his thoughts, and fell to the ground, not even daring to raise his head to bear Gu Qingxuan's gaze.

Gu Qingxuan coughed and pounded the bed, his anger steaming and uncontrollable, "They are showing off! How could someone surnamed Yin let go of this opportunity? They are angry with me with this! Qingning! Qingning! Such a big matter, such a scandal, how can you keep it a secret from your father! So that someone will take the handle and lose your own life! You are really confused! Confused, you are confused!"

Gu Qingning tore up the letter like crazy, she really collapsed, and finally raised her head: "What if I say it? Father! Could it be that if I told you earlier, you would have a better way? No? The result is still like this! I still have to bear your contempt early! You must feel very embarrassed now, right? It's really your shame to have such a daughter, isn't it?"

Gu Qingxuan angrily threw himself on the side of the couch and slapped her in the face.

"Gu Qingning, you have simply disappointed me......!

The hurried knock on the door interrupted the tense moment of the father and daughter in the house, it was Gu Qinghuan, who shouted outside: "Sister, sister, someone is in the palace! Your Majesty has summoned you to enter the palace immediately!"

"Qingning ......" Gu Qingxuan's mood changed, and he wanted to say something.

She didn't listen at all, covered her beaten face, lowered her head and stood up, and retreated, "Father, don't worry, I'm going to die soon, and I and those shames will disappear......"

Gu Qingning walked out of the bedroom of the main house, her eyes were blank, there were no tears on her face, she put on the felt hat on her cloak, covered the red marks on her face, and stepped into the heavy snow in the wind.

……

The person who wants to save Lu Yuansi's life is the current emperor.

Before Lu Yuansi was convicted by the Criminal Department, Gu Qingning was announced to the palace to face the saint, the emperor summoned her alone, and told her very clearly, he knew what crime Lu Yuansi had committed, but he had compassion, he even said very frankly that he had feelings for the Lu family, he felt that he owed something to the former queen Lu Yuanye, and now that the Lu family has been destroyed, it is rare that Lu Yuanye has a sister who survived, he couldn't bear to watch Lu Yuansi also die, let her think of a way to save Lu Yuansi's life.

However, she did not do so.

Therefore, Gu Qingning didn't just kill Lu Yuansi, she blatantly disobeyed the holy will.

She expected that she would die, but she didn't expect the emperor to get the news so quickly and summon her to the palace that night - to see her in the dormitory, which can be seen to be angry.

Father-in-law De led her in, bowed to her, and worshipped her, and then the other palace people followed Father-in-law out of the dormitory and closed the door.

Gu Qingning knelt, lifted Lu Yuansi's confession above his head, and resolutely went to his death, "Lu Yuansi, a death row prisoner, fled and poisoned the county lord of Chengshuo, and the human and material evidence is all true, this is Lu Yuansi's confession signed and detained." Escaping from prison, murder, two crimes are punished together, and the death penalty is inescapable, and he has been sentenced to death by Weichen, and he will be punished at three o'clock today. ”

"I didn't expect Gu Shilang to not even give me face......"

Before that, he was ready to go to bed, and he had already put down his dragon robe, leaving only a crimson brocade undershirt, and a heavy robe to keep out the cold.

For Gu Qingning, he has always been the person who is the farthest away, no, not a person, it is a sign of unreachable imperial authority, an image, and he can't feel flesh and blood, this is the emperor in her eyes, she has always been in awe, until today he summoned her, told her his compassion, said that he couldn't bear it, she felt that he was real.

She said: "Weichen killed Lu Yuansi, disobeyed the holy will, and deserved death, please Your Majesty to surrender." ”

He looked at Gu Qingning, who was attached to the ground, the only female minister in the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, and knew that she had a heart of death.

No one dared to look directly at the face of the Son of Heaven, including Gu Qingning, so no one would know that the king of a country would also show a somewhat playful smile.

When she was in despair, he was unexpectedly relaxed and didn't care.

Without Gu Qingning's expected angry questioning, he stood up, walked in front of Gu Qingning, took the confession and glanced at it, and put it on the jade case.

Gu Qingning bowed his head and bowed, "Weichen is willing to be punished, please ask Your Majesty to surrender." ”

She felt a hand dragging her hands folded above her head, slowly lifting up, motioning for her to straighten up, and she couldn't help but tremble and shake her heart.

She straightened up, still kneeling, her back straight, and didn't dare to look up, until the hand was withdrawn, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

But the next moment made her even more nervous......

"Qingning...... At this time, I am facing down, can I call you Qingning?"

Gu Qingning's heart really trembled, this voice and tone made her even more overwhelmed, lost for a moment, she felt that she was surrounded by a huge fog, he, he who was high above, who was out of reach, became so ethereal, people couldn't see it clearly.

"Your Majesty...... Call this name...... It's a blessing for Weichen. She stammered visibly, but still didn't dare to be rude.

He smiled and reached out to put his hand on her shoulder: "Qingning, you really did something that made me very unhappy this time, do you know that no king can tolerate being disobeyed by his courtiers?"

"Weichen Guilty ......" Feeling the weight on her shoulders, Gu Qingning's whole body almost began to tremble, she closed her eyes and gritted her teeth, and endured it with difficulty.

"And how are you going to compensate me?" he asked leisurely.

Gu Qingning subconsciously sensed something, but she didn't want to face it, "I can only apologize for my sins with death......"

Two fingers on her lips startled her, she flashed back suddenly, raised her head and saw his face, still no one could see what his mood was, she lowered her head again, frightened.

"Don't say you're dead, I don't want you to die, and besides, are you really willing to give up your life? Are you willing to give up your official position? There are many ways to atone for sins in this world, you are a smart person, if you really want to forgive me and make me happy, there is always a way, right?" he said as he leaned over her, and finally attached it directly to her ear, and the breath lingered in her earlobe, making her face red.

Gu Qingning didn't tremble anymore, her heart didn't tremble, she only felt despair, different from the despair of dying, this despair was enough to crush her from her heart to the whole person.

"Does Your Majesty want to sleep with a micro-minister?"

She opened her eyes and saw clearly that the lights of this hall were brilliant, the stove was fragrant, the silk brocade on the dragon bed was embroidered with Luan Feng soaring, a wisp of imperial incense was in the nose, outside was heavy snow and cold wind, the hall was impermeable to the wind just like the spring warmth, the flower branch candlestick was scorching, such as the scorching sun......

How many women want to enter this palace, how many women want to climb onto the dragon bed?

Selling skin and flesh, a good fight, in exchange for life and glory and wealth, is there a more cost-effective deal?

Even Gu Qingning couldn't think of a reason to refuse.

"Would you rather want to be happy?" he asked.

……

Ten years ago, in order to see the layout of Chang'an Avenue from a high place, she climbed to the roof of Lu's mansion and lay on it to draw a picture.

She has always known that she has seen Lu Yuanze sweat in pain many times, and he doesn't have to hide it from time to time in front of her. How could Lu Yuansi know that in fact, every time she saw his leg hurt and hurt, she would also feel distressed.

Including three years later, the day Lu Yuanze was crowned.

He was twenty and she was eighteen.

On the day of Lu Yuanze's crown ceremony, the Gu family was also invited to the Lu family to participate in the banquet, and she heard that her father and mother planned to formally agree on their marriage with the Lu family, so that they could get married as soon as possible, after all, they were not young at that time.

That night, the banquet was open, the wine was half-drunk, suddenly the clouds were indifferent, and the rain was coming, she noticed that Lu Yuanze's face was not very good from the afternoon, but as the protagonist of the day, she didn't dare to displease his father, so she could only hold on, and at that time it was really uncomfortable, she couldn't get up while kneeling, and she had to laugh and socialize, which made her feel worried.

Her parents led her out of the table to the main seat to toast, and she also knew that this was not just a toast, they had already agreed with Lu Yuanzhi and his wife, and immediately announced their marriage to the full house, as long as they walked over and stood with the Lu family......

And her attention was always on Lu Yuanze, and she seemed to feel that he couldn't sit still, and his spine was trembling.

She walked to the main seat with her parents and congratulated the Lu family, Lu Yuanzhi stood up and prepared to let everyone be quiet for a moment to announce the big event, when thunder began to thunder outside, and a thunderclap frightened her hand, and the water and wine in her palm just poured on Lu Yuanze's robe.

The scene was disrupted by her, she pretended to be panicked and apologized to Lu Yuanze, apologized to the Lu family, Lu Yuanze had to leave the table to change clothes, in fact, he could just retire and rest.

This stubble made Lu Yuanzhi unhappy, and it was not good to continue to announce the marriage, so he could only sit down first and greet the guests for dinner, and even Shen Lanxi privately complained to her for a few clumsy words and disturbed a great opportunity.

Yes, if it weren't for the shaking of her hands at that time, the marriage would have been announced, and she would have married Lu Yuanze a long time ago......

She didn't stay at the table for much time that night, and while her parents and colleagues were socializing, she quietly left the table and went to Lufu Dongyuan.

The steward of Dongyuan told her that Lu Yuanze was sobering up in the study, waiting for the meeting to sober up and drink medicine before going to rest.

She walked into Lu Yuanze's study and saw him lying on the bookcase for a nap, and he had already loosened his robe that was wet with wine.

Gu Qingning sat next to him, took out the warm bag she specially prepared when she came and put it on his lap, and helped him cover it, "This whereabouts are clean, right?"

Lu Yuanze raised his head, he felt a lot better because of this warm bag, looked at her, and was very happy in his heart: "Yes, thanks to Qingning, you pretended to be stupid, otherwise I really don't know how to get out." ”

Gu Qingning said: "Why are you still sitting here with a leg pain? Go back to the room and lie down." ”

He shook his head, his eyes were intoxicated, and took her hand: "I want to stay with Qingning for a while......"

Gu Qingning rubbed his injured leg with his other hand, and moved gently: "I've always felt quite guilty, if I hadn't insisted on going to the roof of your house, you wouldn't have accompanied me to mess around and climb so high...... I can't even think that if you really fell and became disabled by then......"

Half-drunk and half-awake, he listened to her talking, suddenly looked at her very seriously, and asked, "If I really fall and become disabled, are you still willing to marry me?"

In front of his sincere and eager eyes, she didn't know how to respond, she couldn't face her heart now, let alone eighteen-year-old her?

So she didn't speak, but closed her eyes and kissed him on the lips.

That was the first time Gu Qingning kissed a man, opening the erotic valve of the two people.

Lu Yuanze thought he had an answer.

He asked Gu Qingning to help him go back to the room to rest, Gu Qingning endured his shyness, and took advantage of the fact that there were few people in Dongyuan to help Lu Yuanze go to his bedroom. When he reached the door, he was suddenly able to stand upright, turned around and hugged her, reached to her waist, lowered his face and whispered to her: "Qingning...... Give it to me......"

Gu Qingning was suddenly shocked and ashamed, his heart was like a deer, and he retreated: "It's not good ...... like this."

Lu Yuanze let go of her with a smile, and didn't say anything, just looked at her with obsessive eyes, opened the door, retreated into the room, and pushed the door again.

The door creaked and didn't close.

She stood outside the door for a moment, and finally, reaching out and pushing the door, stepped into the room, closed it, and closed it.

It was that night that she delivered herself.

Later, it was back and forth, and it was out of control.

And then ......

It all started because of that night, which wasn't necessarily a mistake, but it did change her life.

Only she knew how much she had paid for that night.

Is it depravity? or destruction?

What is this endless torture for?

She chose to bow down in front of the king, "Please give Gu Qingning a death." ”
