The drums on the street beat twice in a row, and as the auspicious time approached, Gu Chaomin, who was sitting in the back hall, became more and more uneasy. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info he raised his head and urged in a low voice, and the personal guard replied for the third time: "The person who answered has already set off, don't worry." ”

But he was always restless, and his left eye was beating wildly. The wind outside the window blew tighter, and the moon under the window, which was only a flower branch, slapped against the window lattice, like footsteps in a dark corridor. The autumn wind whined, like a baby's crying, and the hairs stood on end.

Perhaps it was a psychological effect, but the lively guests in the front hall felt that the strong autumn breeze added to the warmth of the wedding banquet.

Gu Chen's eldest son's concubine has become the most lively happy event today. Gu Chaomin likes to boil his muscles and bones since he was a child, he doesn't like women, and his cold reputation for not understanding amorous customs has long been known in the streets, so he is not surprised that he is more than 20 years old and has not married his relatives, and his mother died early and was a concubine, and his father lived in Luoyang for a long time. He has a tough temper and is cold and unpopular with his mother-in-law, and everyone in the family has always ignored him. If it weren't for the fact that when he was eighteen years old, he was left by the crown prince in Wufu High School and served in the East Palace, he would inevitably become a useless person in the Gu family in the future.

The banquet of the concubine and the prince gave Gu Chaomin enough face, and the scene of Gu Fu's concubine was even more grand than that of some people marrying their wives. Almost all the top officials in the court arrived, after all, no one wanted to contradict the prince's relatives and celebrities. Among them, there are those who sincerely come to congratulate, there are also those who take the opportunity to flatter, and of course, there are many who are not angry. Those who are disgruntled are the first to show impatience and boredom.

After another tea time, there was still no happy cannon outside the door, and the hungry guests began to mumble and complain in a low voice, in order to appease everyone's emotions, the butler could only bow and laugh over and over again, and the maid could only serve the pickled fruit and freshly fried cooked food on a plate after plate.

Several elderly senior officials were even more unhappy, pinching their beards and humming frequently, they had long been dissatisfied with this arrogant and stubborn descendant, and they did not come out early to greet them on such occasions, but hid in the back hall in a grand manner, and hung the people in the court who were happy in the front hall, and only let a lowly butler come to entertain perfunctory.

After the good thing Shen Jun laughed at an old-fashioned official, he quietly slipped into the back hall, and happened to bump into Gu Chaomin, who had changed into a red coat and armor, wore a long knife at his waist, and had a cold face walking out of it. As soon as he saw this scene, he knew that something had changed, and he didn't ask much in the knowing, and followed him to the antechamber with a sly smile.

Gu Chaomin, who had been showing up, appeared at the wedding banquet in the front hall in military uniform, which shocked everyone, and then looked at his solemn face, there was no festive look of the groom at all, but a chilling murderous aura, and everyone quieted down at once.

He was signaling the maid at the door to open the door of the antechamber, when a shout suddenly sounded outside the door: "The bride has arrived, the groom should not go out to greet him soon!" ”

The audience was shocked, staring at the door, and Yaqi was silent.

The door opened, and a cold wind poured into the hall, causing people to tremble. I saw a woman in white clothes walking in a bridal dress with a woman in a bridal dress in her arms, and walked in under the stunned gaze of everyone.

Taken aback for a moment, everyone looked at the woman, and her hair was scattered, and her steps were as light as ghosts. The messy hair covered her face, the large blood stains on the white dress were shocking, and then I saw that the eyes of the woman in her arms were closed, the blood on her face and lips had faded, white as ice and snow, her right hand was hanging outward, and her chest did not see her breathing fluctuate, obviously she had been dead for a long time.

Many of the young guests behind the curtain on the right side of the front hall were screaming in fright.

The woman ignored everyone, stared at Gu Chaomin intently, and walked straight towards him.

Gu Chaomin's eyes didn't give her any response, staring at the dead woman in her arms. The guard beside him was the first to react, drew a sharp knife and pointed at it, and shouted: "Stop, are you a human or a ghost?!" ”

She didn't look at him either, but said to Gu Chaomin behind him: "Groom, I sent the bride to you, why don't you come and pick her up!" ”

Gu Chaomin's face was also as white as a dead man, he took two steps back, fell on a chair, covered his chest tremblingly with one hand, and held his forehead with the other, covering the painful look on his face.

When she saw him sitting down in the chair behind her, she turned to the side, and the people at the table next to her immediately dispersed in fright as if they had seen a ghost. She stretched out a hand from under the woman in her arms, grabbed the corner of the tablecloth and lifted it vigorously, the cups, plates, tea and wine shattered to the ground, and the table was empty. She carried the woman to the table, gathered her stiff limbs in order, and then gently stroked her cheeks and lovingly brushed the hair on her forehead. Seeing her pale face, she shook her head dissatisfied, bit her finger, and smeared blood on her lips and cheeks before she was satisfied: "This is what a bride looks like." ”

Everyone who witnessed the strange scene was shocked and speechless, and some of them had even begun to quietly move towards the door.

She straightened up, glanced coldly in the direction of Gu Chaomin, and said, "The bride has arrived, don't miss the auspicious time, the groom come and salute!" ”

Gu Chaomin slumped in his chair motionless, his whole face sunk in the shadow of his arm.

The left servant of Shangshu, who was hit by the flying cup next to him, shot Ruan Zicheng, who had always believed in the silence of the strange force, and sneered at this woman who pretended to be a ghost, and said sharply: "Where did you come from, you crazy woman, making a big fuss, it's really rude." General Gu should take it down, and interrogation is. Whether this girl is really a bride, can General Gu come forward to identify it, find out the cause of death and report it to the saint and the mother. This holy blessing, but for no reason, he gave his life, insulted the grace of God, and the murderer should be scraped and punished! ”

The woman squinted and glanced fiercely at the corner of her eye, and the speaker, who thought she was upright and not afraid of ghosts, couldn't help but shudder when she looked sideways with contempt.

She turned to Gu Chaomin suddenly, as if he was a bull's-eye, and the hatred in her eyes was like a sharp arrow, Qi Er stepped back, burst into action, and his feet were like scissors clamping the sword-holding guard in front of him, knocking him to the ground, and kicking the five or six guards who came up to support him with a whirlwind leg.

She straightened her arms, like a white crane with wings, skipped the obstacle in front of her, cut horizontally with her right hand, opened his arm with a crisp sound, stretched out her left hand, grabbed his placket, and lifted him from the chair with one arm.

Gu Chaomin, who was disturbed by grief, couldn't exert her strength at all, so she could only let her tear her clothes and shout loudly to the crowd that was scattered on all sides: "Don't check, let me tell you!" He is the murderer, and you only need to hack him to death, and you will be able to reassure the Holy One! ”

Gu Chaomin subconsciously turned his head to avoid her hoarse and toned roar, and when he turned his head, he met a pair of familiar eyes, even if the eye waves became remorseful and turbulent, he still saw its original calm and calm appearance from the fierceness of its appearance. He pushed her away as if he had been battered, and he cried out in confusion, "You are, you are ......" and he stepped back as if he had seen a ghost, and fell to the ground in a staggered manner.

Everyone should have laughed when they saw his embarrassed appearance, but the pained and bewildered look on his face made people feel pitiful.

The woman was the only one in the crowd who laughed sarcastically, remorsefully, resentfully. But she smiled and smiled, but tears fell in her eyes.

She walked up to Gu Chaomin and squatted down, brushed away the hair blocking her cheeks, looked at him with tears on her face, and said sadly and cruelly: "I'm Chu Changgeng, you can see clearly, I'm a woman!" ”

Yes, the rival in love who has always made you jealous and hated to the bone has actually always been a woman. Because of your stupidity, selfishness, narrow-mindedness, and jealousy, the delicate white lotus that has been stubbornly blooming in the mud has finally been corrupted by your love, and only a broken shell remains. A love affair without freedom, tolerance and trust is a squeeze of poison that poisons yourself as you feed the other person to drink. Destruction and death are the only relief.

Gu Chaomin opened his mouth wide, like a fish about to suffocate. His eyes widened as if they were about to burst, and tears poured down with a cry of despair from the bottom of his heart. And the bloody red lotus that was inserted in the bun behind the green ulva, after a great change and turbulence, has long been crumbling, in his mournful roar, it seems that the final emotional destination of the two of them is shattered to the ground, and love is broken!

It was the first significant woman he had lost in his life.

Shen Jun heard Chu Yunxi report Chu Changgeng's name, but it was not too unexpected, and his surprise was fleeting, so he calmed down and glanced at the person by the door. The man received the order, nodded and reflexively went out.

Two teams dressed as small men with knives rushed into the courtyard. Shen Jun squeezed from the crowd to the center of the hall, smiled confidently and weirdly at Chu Yunxi, and was about to speak. Suddenly, two more teams of guards wearing armor and hanging long knives rushed in, standing separately with knives, separating the guests attending the wedding banquet to the left and right, and only Shen Jun with a nervous expression was left in the center, Gu Chaomin, who was sitting on the ground and holding his head, and Chu Yunxi, who was glaring at him angrily and bowing his head.

At the end of the guard, a person came in with his robe, and a pair of gloomy eyes scanned everyone with compassion, and said fiercely: "Take down this woman!" ”

Chu Yunxi came with a mortal heart, and she didn't pay attention to the changes that arose in all directions, and more than a dozen steel knives shining with blood were densely covered by her side, and she didn't care. It was only at this time, as soon as this deep and gloomy voice sounded, she suddenly looked back, the burning anger in her eyes sank instantly, the surging tears slowly froze in her eyes, the anger and hideousness on her face turned into cold wind, turned into frost and snow, and the flush on her face due to excitement faded into snow, as if the chill from her body made her face freeze first.

Several young and knowledgeable officials among the guests couldn't help but exhale: "Prime Minister?!" ”

The voices of everyone came and went, and some shallow young people in the city government had already smashed the pot, and the voices of discussion gradually expanded.

Only a few old-fashioned and scheming officials were silent, coldly observing the changes in the situation in the field.

People talked a lot about the sudden appearance of the prime minister, but Shen Jun, who has always been lively and shrewd, was unusual, and did not participate in the discussion of any group of people, but instead raised his eyebrows, his eyes were flustered, and his face was extremely ugly.

In the strange eyes of everyone, Chu Yilian easily maintained a gloomy face that had not changed for ten thousand years, without any meaning to explain or cover up, and shouted confidently: "Take it down left and right!" ”

Chu Yunxi pulled out the Acacia Sword from his waist, and the blade was cold. She leaned sideways, held her head high, and sneered: "In order to kill people and kill people, you actually did not hesitate to disobey the holy order and return to Chang'an privately during the mourning." If you want to kill me, do you first have to explain to all the adults here why you are here? ”

Ruan Zicheng, who had just asked Gu Chaomin to arrest and interrogate her, changed his position: "Yes, although this woman is crazy, this statement is reasonable. Prime Minister, there are countless elite soldiers in Chang'an City, and this woman can't escape even if she has wings. It was Jing Zhaoyin's duty to arrest the criminal, but I don't know what a catastrophe this woman had, so she had to go all the way to arrest the prime minister personally? ”

Chu Yilian glanced at him in disgust, not wanting to bother with this stubborn old man who always went against him: "I have my own measure, I don't need to say much to you!" You sinner, dare to resist with a sword, and kill you! ”

"Slow! No hands-off! The supervising Yu Shi Mo Xun, who had been silent, shouted, he was originally a reversed faction, if it weren't for Gu Chen's face, he would definitely not appear at Gu Chaomin's banquet today.

Chu Yunxi knew that this was the perfect time, she clenched the hilt of the sword, her hair was raised, her eyes were slightly narrowed, her eyes were like torches, and she opened her mouth and sneered: "My lords, I'm afraid you don't know, this prime minister is fake!" ”

Behind the curtain on the right, there was a weak woman's voice, everyone was stunned, and looking at the sound, a girl wearing a plain veil and a hat stood in front of the curtain, looking at Chu Yunxi with tears in her eyes.

She took a step forward, Chu Yunxi met her eyes, frowned angrily, and called out suspiciously: "Second sister?!" ”

Don't say that there are many male guests, many female guests are also the first time to see Chu Yunyi, she is frail and sickly, she can't help the wind and rain, almost never out of the boudoir, she is more shy and shy, and she has no close friends in the boudoir. And because Chu Yunlian and Shangguan Xueyu are the two Xiangfu sisters, many people even forget the existence of this prime minister's two thousand gold, coupled with rumors about her illness in the outside world, so that she is more than 20 years old but has not married.

She was forced to participate in the concubine banquet in the Gu Mansion this time, Chu Yilian was in Jinling, the eldest lady had a rheumatism attack, and her mother returned to her hometown to worship her ancestors, Gu and Chu had a close relationship between the two families, if there was no Chu family to attend, it would inevitably appear contemptuous, so she had to come instead of her parents and sisters.

The delicate Chu Yunyi held her chest, obviously excited, with tears in her eyes, she ran two steps and said across the crowd: "Fourth sister? Is it really you? You're not dead yet? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar, and the scene became more and more chaotic.

Chu Yunxi smiled and said to everyone: "You can hear it, Miss Chu Er has already recognized my identity. Then you must not believe my words. ”

She then snorted contemptuously, then pointed at Chu Yilian and shouted, "I am Chu Yilian's daughter, not your daughter." Are you really my father, or should I call you Uncle Three? ”

Chu Yilian's complexion changed, his legs were weak, he was a little unsteady on his feet, and he vigorously denied it: "Nonsense, you crazy woman!" Then he turned to Chu Yunyi and shouted, "Shut up, who allowed you to make noise here, your little sister died in the fire more than ten years ago, and there are no bones." Don't you go home yet, don't talk nonsense! ”

Chu Yunlian was already very afraid of Chu Yilian, and he was scolded in public like this, and he fainted in shame and fear. He didn't care, he still heard the second Miss Gu Jiayi who entered the front hall - Gu Mengying found someone to take care of her.

When Chu Yunxi saw his reaction, he was sad, his eyes welled up with tears, and he touched his chest excitedly and panted: "Look at your weak heart, you still don't admit that you are the murderer of my father." My father is honest and promising, straightforward and profound, how can he be such a villain as you! ”

One stone stirs up a thousand waves. Everyone fell silent again. Chu Yilian continued to command his guards to arrest him.

Chu Yunxi performed light skills and jumped onto the table, dodged on one wall, and shouted on the other: "Chu Xiaolian, you designed to kill your own brother and brother, and you also occupied the phoenix's nest and occupied the identity that originally belonged to my father." Over the years, you have done evil and brought disaster to the country and the people, but you have made my father bear all the infamy! How wronged my father is, how wronged is it! ”

Because there were other guests blocking them, the guards didn't dare to let go of the grabs, and they couldn't transfer the archers to support, so they could only watch Chu Yunxi toss and turn through the crowd like a light butterfly.

Chu Yilian's eyes were red in a hurry, seeing that Gu Chaomin, who had the highest martial arts here, was just holding Qing Chun's corpse in his arms, immersed himself in his own sorrow, and completely ignored the chaotic wedding banquet, he knew that he was also useless, and almost did it himself in a hurry.

In the chaotic crowd, there were many prime ministers' opponents, and they knew very well that this big fight, whether what the woman said was true or false, was a rare opportunity to bring down the opponent, everyone looked at each other, and some people began to talk in a low voice.

Jing Guogong, who was the highest-ranking and short-tempered among the people present, couldn't bear to slap the table and shouted: "What kind of system is it to be so nonsense!" Come down, girl. Don't move anyone else! He roared like a lion, not like a man over sixty.

The crowd took up their majesty and listened in silence. With a wave of his hand, he stopped Chu Yilian, who was about to speak.

Chu Yunxi crossed his sword and jumped down vigilantly. She had heard Shi Jiaheng privately comment on this Jingguo Gong. He is hot and upright on the surface, but in fact, the city government is quite deep, and he seems to be indisputable, but in fact, he sees the needles and needles, and the advantage is essential.

The prime minister also confiscated hundreds of acres of land outside Luoyang because of the land invasion case. Although he dealt with several family members with righteous words on the surface, he actually had a deep resentment towards the prime minister. Earlier, when he led the troops, he often took revenge for himself, connived at the killing of his subordinates, and was a villain who would be avenged. I don't think he would have been so gifted. Anyway, now that there is no way out, there are chasing soldiers after retreat, so it is better to gamble. Think about it. She knelt down on one knee in front of Jing Guogong: "Please Jing Guogong avenge the little girl's father, what the little girl said is true, and there is real evidence." Just present it to the Holy Hearing, and then the truth will be revealed! ”

Jing Guogong pinched his beard lightly, pretended to think, and said slowly: "There are indeed a lot of strange things about this matter, and such a trouble, the DPRK and China must already know about it, and it is impossible to hide it." ”

At this point, he glanced at Chu Yilian meaningfully, and coughed lightly: "What's more, those who are clear are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid." The prime minister is honest and fair, and he is not afraid of short-term and long-term affairs. It's too late today, and tomorrow the Holy One will find out and investigate and interrogate. If you take this woman into custody first, and detain her face tomorrow, if this woman is really spreading rumors and slander, she will naturally be immediately killed. And ......"

He paced in front of the prime minister and hummed: "Chu Xiang returned to the city privately during the funeral, there is a reason, but the officials are puzzled, and the adults should also clarify." ”

As soon as these words came out, Mo Xun and the others nodded in agreement. Several high-ranking and powerful old ministers agreed one after another, so that Chu Yilian had nothing to do.

Seeing this, the subordinates Tu Zhen saw this, and hurriedly tied up Chu Yunxi with the prime minister's guards.

Jing Guogong waved his hand again and said, "Slow! In order to block the villain's tongue, this woman should not be privately detained in the Prime Minister's Mansion. ”

He pinched his beard and smiled, and asked loudly, "Is Lord Lang Tong of the Criminal Department here?" ”

A middle-aged official dressed in a Li color regular dress took a step forward and arched his hand: "Tong Shilang is entangled in mundane affairs, and he can't come to congratulate today." Cui Zhenglong, the director of the Criminal Department of the lower officials, listened to the orders of the Duke of Guo. ”

Jing Guogong said in a deep voice: "Then there is Director Lao Cui who will send this woman to the prison of the Criminal Department, and wait for the fate of the saint tomorrow!" ”

The newly appointed Shangshu of the Criminal Department is not a member of the Prime Minister's party, and handing over Chu Yunxi to him is also to prevent Chu Yilian from killing people and destroying his mouth, and Mo Xun and others all agree to this kind of treatment.

He walked in front of Chu Yilian, and then pretended to be kind and said: "Prime Minister, Gentleman Sven, it's better for me to train the guards as a martial artist, a group of guards can't even catch a little girl." There was a sigh of regret in his words.

"But don't worry, if you don't dislike it, I can send the soldiers of the government to the prime minister's mansion." He patted his chest and said: "Little Lao'er guarantees with his life, and absolutely guarantees the safety of adults." ”

Those who have a heart will know the deep meaning of his words when they hear it. Chu Yilian's face did not change, and when he looked at him, his momentum was still awe-inspiring: "Guogong is polite." Rest assured, my life is not what these little people can get. Don't dare to work on the elite soldiers of the national government. ”

Before leaving, he also instructed in public: "Master Cui, you can watch this sinner carefully, if you go out of the pool, it will be difficult to prove your innocence even if you die." ”

Jing Guogong smiled smugly, and there was a mockery of his dead duck's hard mouth in his smile.

The wedding banquet is over, but everyone is not disappointed, because they know that the show will officially start tomorrow!

Everyone dispersed. Shen Jun walked at the end with a heavy heart. His eyes have been following the three rows of people walking in front of him, and those people are still discussing enthusiastically, especially the colleagues who are familiar with Chu Yunxi on weekdays, they can hardly believe the fact that they are daughters. He recognized that the dozen or so people were all from the Hanlin Academy of Books and Paintings. The strange thing is that there is no Qi Feng among them. He is Shangguan Xueyu's most loyal admirer and follower, almost to the point of going mad, and she will be there on any major occasion. He wasn't there, and she didn't come. And in the chaos just now, he didn't seem to see her either.

So where did she go on such an important day?
