Chapter 195: Conscience Becomes a Disaster
Chapter 195: Conscience is a disaster
"A few days before the Gu family was wiped out three years ago, I was not in the imperial capital. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" Baili Rongchen looked at Gu Changge's scarlet eyes, "In those days, I noticed that a group of unknown forces had suddenly poured into the imperial capital, so I secretly investigated, but I didn't want to be hunted down outside the imperial capital. ā
Gu Changge lowered his eyes, secretly wondering if these unknown forces would have anything to do with the Gong family, or, one more complicated step to the East China Sea?
Baili Rongchen seemed to fall into a memory, "That force is very powerful, I brought dozens of people, almost all the army was wiped out, and finally under the deliberate pursuit of those people, I was separated from my subordinates, and I was left alone with serious injuries, and finally I was forced to jump off a high cliff to escape." ā
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and Gu Changge finally saw a softness on his face that he hadn't seen for a long time.
"It was also at that time that I met the Queen." There was no smile on his face, but his eyes were as clear as a bay of clear water, as clear and flawless as glass in the sun, the light flowed, and his voice became soft and ironed like a spring breeze, "After being in a coma for three days and three nights, I woke up and saw her for the first time. ā
So, just by looking at her, you fell in love with her?
Gu Changge's red eyes suddenly became a little sour, like a heavy and rusty heart at this moment, rubbed the sand-like grinding silently with blood.
She often thinks about how the lover she once said she would be with for a lifetime quickly fell in love with another woman when her bones were still cold after her death, but she didn't want to, it turned out that when she hadn't left a place for the love between the two, it had become a redundant and ironic existence.
She once heard many people say that there is a kind of love that only needs one glance, one eye to sink, and one eye to ten thousand years, but she never thought that one day she would also become a victim of this romance.
Gu Changge tried his best to suppress and hide his exposed emotions, and Baili Rong, who had always been alert, did not notice it, he continued: "In the next few days, we encountered two more assassinations, I was seriously injured, and I was even unconscious twice in the middle, and after waking up, I smelled the strong smell of blood on me and the queen, and I could also spy on the undercurrent of murderous intent and Ah Yue, who took me through the siege and the difficulty of returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion. ā
"And then..."He turned his eyes to look at Gu Changge again, his eyes were soft and dark, and he re-rendered them deep, "I woke up again after falling into a coma for the third time in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and then received news that the Qiao family had been sentenced to death for treason. ā
Gu Changge's body was trembling, and his biting lower lip had even oozed blood beads, the blood was bright and languishing, reminding him of the boundless sea of blood spreading in his dream, the heaviness and despair of death.
He furrowed his eyebrows, thinking that she was reacting to the news that her family had been destroyed.
The season has reached the beginning of summer, the Northern Qi Emperor is northern, and the sky is inevitably a little cold, but Gu Changge feels that the coolness she feels now is comparable to the moonlight on a winter night, and it is cold to the bottom of her heart in just a moment, as if she has a piece of cold jade in her arms, it is the coldness that penetrates into the bones and blood that is not hot in her heart, this coldness always makes her feel that one day her heart will be frozen through a huge wound, where there is a wind whirring through it.
Outside the imperial study, there was a bird screaming, fluttering its wings and flying through the sky at the four corners of the window, Gu Changge shivered, and came back to his senses for a while.
So sensitively aware that her mood eased slightly, and Rong Chen continued to speak again for hundreds of miles above her head.
"After that fire, the fall of the Gu family was a foregone conclusion, and it was at that time that the Gong family found me and said that they would help me ascend to the throne." His expression was complicated, and he paused for a while before he said, "I agreed." ā
Gu Changge chuckled. Of course, I have to agree, not only because the prime minister of the Northern Qi Dynasty can become the best help for you to reach a high position, but also because this transaction can give you the best opportunity and foreshadowing to accompany Gong Yueyu for a lifetime.
Besides, the Gu family has fallen, you just broke an arm, and the Gong family sent charcoal in the snow, how could you not agree?
The two were relatively silent.
After a long time, two sighs arose at the same time, and the indescribable tacit understanding made the two raise their eyes and look at each other.
Gu Changge suddenly felt bored, and she said sullenly: "If the emperor called me just to find someone to confide in the beginning of your relationship with the queen mother, or to warn Weichen not to act rashly with the palace family that you have been friends with for a long time, there is no need..."
"My Gu family and the palace family have a common enmity, how can I give up because of your majesty's words." Gu Changge's expression was particularly serious, "Don't think how rebellious I am when I say this, Weichen doesn't have the kind of mind to sit down and commit crimes, there is a debtor and a debtor, since you also said that you are not sorry for the Gu family, then Weichen is naturally loyal to you, loyal to my Northern Qi... This is a lesson that I dare not forget as a Gu family member - loyalty to the monarch and patriotism. ā
Baili Rongchen's eyes were faint, and he couldn't see any emotion, the longer he cultivated the heart of the emperor without a hundred poisons, the thicker the barrier became, and he said, "What if I insist on protecting the palace family?" ā
"Your Majesty, let's not pretend to be confused." Gu Changge raised his eyebrows and sneered, "You were reforming the military system and the military election at the beginning, this time, Zhang Luo, and finally elected an unknown and even suspicious micro-minister, isn't it just to check and balance the palace family?" ā
She chuckled between her eyebrows, and the curvature of her lips also carried unknown emotions, stabbing people like thorns, "To put it bluntly, I'm just a knife in your hand, what's more, the suspicious identity of the Gu family behind me makes this knife more convenient." ā
Baili Rongchen was silent, as if he had responded to Gu Changge's words.
Gu Changge only said to his heart, "I can tell you clearly, my purpose is just revenge, and I can even care if it will end up with a rabbit and a dog in the future, you can rest assured, at least you can relax in the past few years." I ......"
"I believe in you." Baili Rongchen said suddenly.
"Huh?"
"I also feel that there is a disgrace in the treason of the Gu family. It's just that the incident happened suddenly, and it came and went quickly, and when I started to investigate, I found that all the clues were deliberately buried by someone with a heart. ā
Baili Rongchen frowned slightly, his face was not very good, and he subconsciously glanced at the back of the woman on the wall - this is his habit for a long time, in the past, whenever his heart was depressed and bored or he woke up sour and painful at night, just by looking at this painting a few times, whether it was boredom or pain, it would be reduced a lot, but after a little smoothness, it was a deeper layer of emptiness and loneliness, and he was often unable to breathe, this taste may not be much better than the initial pain, but it was like being fed Gu poison, he was as happy as food.
He let out a long breath, pulled his gaze away from the painting, and lowered his eyes: "I have been investigating for three years, but I have only found some clues, and I feel more and more that there must be a mystery in the matter of the Gu family. ā
"So, I believe in you, Gu Ye."
Gu Changge raised his head and looked at the torch-like gaze of Rong Chen for hundreds of miles, and his heart jumped, is it really just some clues?
Not necessarily.
Baili Rongchen's ability is known to her, and she will never check it for three years without gaining, it is just mixed with some secrets that can't be known to her, an "outsider", so she is half-truthful and half-false.
There's nothing wrong with this, after all, she also has this mentality to face Baili Rongchen again.
No one can blame anyone, and no one is qualified to blame.
Our relationship has been redefined as hypocrisy by the entanglement of interests and the tilting of the heart.
I'm not sad and I'm not lost, really.
