Chapter 16: Exchange of Relics

Soon, Gu Qingcheng woke up with a mouthful of water spit out with Wen Tian's cooperation. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Gu Shixian, who was kneeling with info suppressed, saw that after she woke up, it was like she had found a savior, and struggled with joy and said:

"Sister Allure, quickly explain to Prince Jing, the matter of your falling into the water has nothing to do with me, you jumped by yourself, I am innocent."

After Gu Shixian finished speaking, everyone looked at Gu Tingcheng, especially Old Madam Gu, and the threat in her eyes almost pierced Gu Tingcheng.

Old Madam Gu is still so strong and confident, but unfortunately Gu Qingcheng is no longer something she can threaten. Today she is bound to cut off a piece of flesh from the old lady's heart.

"Grandmother also thinks that her granddaughter knows that she doesn't know how to water, and she will frame others with the fact that jumping into the lotus pond is equivalent to dying?"

Everyone knows that Gu Tingcheng doesn't know how to water, how could he be so stupid as to jump down and die, old lady, how do you answer this.

Facing Gu Qingcheng's sudden attack, the old lady's eyelids jumped suddenly. She always felt that such Gu Qingcheng gave her a bad premonition.

"Grandmother, how do you know why you are jumping, maybe you saw that the lotus flowers in the pond were so beautiful, and you jumped off yourself when you were confused for a while."

What Mrs. Gu said was meaningful, she was warning Gu Tingcheng not to talk nonsense, and quickly admitted that she jumped into the lotus pond by herself.

After listening to the old lady's words, Gu Tingcheng seemed to have been hit hard, and her body, which was already sitting on the ground, fell down in disbelief, supporting the ground with both hands, and she cried and complained:

"Why, Allure has already married according to your instructions, why don't you let go of your granddaughter. Is it really as my brother said, Sister Chang'an regretted it, so let her granddaughter give way to Sister Chang'an? ”

The amount of information contained in this accusation is huge, although Gu Tingcheng did not clearly say the truth about her falling into the water, but the words have already led everyone to reverie.

"What nonsense are you talking about? When did I say such a thing, the Gu family will always have only one princess Jing. The incident of you accidentally falling into the water should just be a joke made by Shixian and you, you don't have to take it seriously. ”

This is a concession made by the old lady, which means that the Gu family will not marry a young lady in the Jingwang Mansion in the future. But the premise is that the overboard incident was an accident and just a joke.

"Is it really just a joke?" Gu Tingcheng said this to Gu Shixian.

Where is Gu Shixian still a little arrogant just now, he saw Gu Tingcheng ask like this, and thought that the old lady had taken Gu Tingcheng, so he immediately nodded quickly and replied:

"yes, yes, it was just a little joke I made with Sister Allure. Sister Allure, you have a lot of adults, don't worry about me. ”

"Really? What about Mother Wang, what did you do to Mother Wang? Is that also a joke? Just when everyone thought that Gu Qingcheng didn't care, she suddenly changed her face and asked Gu Shixian in a dark tone.

In the lotus pond just now, she had already learned about Wang's mother's current situation from Wen Tian. Although Wen Tian said that she had only suffered some minor injuries, Wang's mother had worked hard to take care of her all year round, and her body was already much weaker than ordinary people.

Mother Wang, she must have been seriously injured, and Gu Tingcheng wanted Gu Shixian to pay for Mother Wang's life. Mo Lianqi could feel Gu Tingcheng's grief and indignation, and she was blaming herself.

"At this point, this king also wants Gu Gongzi to explain why the secret guards of my Jing Wangfu are besieged by the private guards of your Gu Mansion."

Gu Mansion's private guard, except for Gu Jinlin, only the old lady can use it. But the old lady doted on Gu Shixian, so she secretly gave Gu Shixian the right to use private guards.

Mother Wang was originally going to summon the secret guard of the Jing Palace's Mansion according to Gu Tingcheng's instructions, but as soon as she finished clapping, the private guard of the Gu Mansion stabbed her with a sword. Fortunately, the secret guard appeared to stop the bleeding for Wang's mother in time, and repelled the private guards of the Gu Mansion, so as to wait for the arrival of the Wentian Commander.

Prince Jing's questioning made Gu Jinlin's face change greatly, and he looked at Old Madam Gu in disbelief. Old Madam Gu didn't expect that Gu Shixian would use the private guards of the Gu Mansion to deal with Mother Wang, and even involved the secret guards of the Jing Palace.

Old Madam Gu looked at Gu Qingcheng viciously, it was all caused by this, she shouldn't have let this give birth in the first place.

"No, that's none of my business. Grandmother save me, grandmother must save me. ”

Gu Shixian was really scared to death at this time, he knew deeply that he must not admit it, otherwise Prince Jing would definitely not let him go easily. Gu Shixian could only pin his last hope on Old Madam Gu.

Seeing her most beloved grandson throwing her eyes for help, Mrs. Gu's heart was very distressed. She closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, it was as if she had made a big decision. Old Madam Gu looked at Gu Qingcheng,

"It is worthy of being Mrs. Yue's biological daughter, and she has grown up like this unconsciously. Your grandmother didn't give you anything when you left the pavilion, and Mrs. Yue used a thing to make a deal with me back then, and today your grandmother will give it back to you, how about it? ”

This is the first time that Old Madam Gu has mentioned Gu Tingcheng's mother-in-law, Mrs. Yue, in front of people, and wants to protect Gu Shixian, but the old lady knows that she can only put her hope on Gu Tingcheng.

She saw that Gu Qingcheng had befriended Prince Jing to find unhappiness for the Gu Mansion today. Even if Lady Yue's daughter is exiled to Fenglai Valley, she will not be buried.

Back then, Mrs. Yue made a deal with her in the ancestral hall, and Mrs. Gu now proposed it to tell Gu Tingcheng that if she wanted to get back her mother's relics, she had to make a deal with her to save Gu Shixian's life.

The part of the ancestral hall is a mystery buried in Gu Tingcheng's heart, and at this time, when he heard the old lady talking about Mrs. Yue, Gu Tingcheng squinted at the old lady. The old lady was not afraid of her gaze, and looked back generously:

If you want to get that thing back, you just do what I want.

Mo Lianqi looked at Gu Qingcheng with some concern, he had just learned about Mrs. Yue. Gu Qingcheng had never seen Mrs. Yue, and he must be very eager in his heart. The old lady uses this to make a trade, what will she choose?

The other people in the Gu Mansion also looked at Gu Qingcheng, it was the first time they had seen someone force the old lady to this position. The word Mrs. Yue is not unfamiliar, but Mrs. Yue is also mysterious to them, and it seems that they all underestimate Gu Qingcheng.

"If my grandmother can give this as a gift to her granddaughter, I will be grateful."

Gu Tingcheng thought about it for a long time before answering the old lady's words, it was just to save his life, and the future would be long. But her mother's things had to be taken back.

Seeing that Gu Tingcheng finally relented and agreed, Old Madam Gu's hanging heart finally let go, and then she watched Gu Tingcheng intercede with Prince Jing.

In fact, Gu Tingcheng himself couldn't figure out Mo Lianqi's temperament, maybe he wouldn't take it to heart about his own small affairs, but Gu Shixian violated his bottom line and went to him to intercede, would he agree?

Mo Lianqi looked at Gu Qingcheng's frowning brows and was a little unhappy, was she still so untrustworthy in her eyes?

"Does the princess want this king to spare his life? You have done the king a favor, and it is not impossible for the princess to ask for mercy. ”

Mo Lianqi's words were heard in everyone's ears that Gu Tingcheng had helped Prince Jing, if Gu Tingcheng asked for mercy, then this favor would be written off. It seems that the relationship between Gu Tingcheng and Prince Jing is nothing more than this, if Gu Tingcheng uses up this kindness, then she will not have a good time in King Jing's Mansion in the future.

The same words lit up in Gu Qingcheng's ears, and she quietly raised her head and swept around, remembering everyone's reactions in her heart, and then looked at Old Madam Gu. Finally, under everyone's gaze, Gu Qingcheng saluted to Molian and replied:

"Please let the prince spare his life for the sake of the concubine. After all, this is still the concubine's maiden family, and the concubine does not plan to pursue the matter. ”

Gu Tingcheng finally pleaded with Prince Jing as everyone wished, but Prince Jing did not agree immediately, but looked at Old Madam Gu and said:

"Although this king has heard of the name of Lady Yue, he has never had the opportunity to see it in person. This king is also very curious about what his mother-in-law gave to Mrs. Gu, it is better for the old lady to take it out now, and let everyone open their eyes! ”

Mo Lianqi's words made Mrs. Gu's face very ugly, today was the day Gu Qingcheng returned to the door, Prince Jing had never greeted her, and now he actually called Mrs. Yue his mother-in-law, which was simply a slap in the face in public.

Old Madam Gu's face was also very ugly, but in order to save Gu Shixian's life, she had to send the maidservant girl beside her to fetch the thing.

Things have developed to this point, Gu Shixian knew that his life was no longer threatening, and finally sat down on the ground with a relieved heart.

The maidservant who had been sent soon returned to the old lady with a brocade box in her hand. Back then, Old Madam Gu was very opposed to the relationship between her son and Madame Yue, but after the woman entered Gu's mansion to negotiate with her in the ancestral hall, Old Madam Gu finally chose to acquiesce to her existence.

And the things in this brocade box are the things that Mrs. Yue traded with her back then. It can be said that for the sake of this thing, Mrs. Gu agreed to Mrs. Yue's conditions.

Now in order to save Gu Shixian's life, this thing had to be taken out. Even if she wants to return it to Gu Tingcheng, she will never let Gu Tingcheng take it safely.

The brocade box was opened in Old Madam Gu's hand, and a butterfly jade pendant flickered in the brocade box, lifelike.

When everyone saw this butterfly jade pendant, they couldn't help but cover their mouths in shock. That thing had always been in the old lady's hand.

After Mo Lianqi recognized the origin of this butterfly jade pendant, he was very annoyed by his proposal just now. He looked at Gu Qingcheng worriedly.

Everyone here knew the legendary thing, only Gu Qingcheng, she didn't understand why everyone showed such expressions when they saw the butterfly jade pendant. Could it be that this thing is still some kind of rare treasure?

Old Madam Gu was very satisfied with everyone's reaction after seeing the butterfly jade pendant, she re-covered the brocade box and walked towards Gu Qingcheng.

"This is what your mother gave me back then, and now that it is back in your hands, it is fate. You need to take good care of yourself. ”

Old Madam Gu's last sentence was meaningful, and Gu Qingcheng took the brocade box from her hand. Everyone's eyes also fell on Gu Qingcheng's body, which was a greedy, unscrupulous, and aggressive gaze.

Gu Qingcheng only understood the meaning of Old Madam Gu's words just now, and she unknowingly dug a trap by her. This butterfly jade pendant is definitely not an ordinary mortal thing, and Old Madam Gu handed it over to Gu Qingcheng in public, which is equivalent to setting up countless enemies for her.

Pifu is not guilty, and Gu Qingcheng still knows the truth of self-sin. Mo Lianqi also knew the seriousness of this matter, and immediately proposed to return to the Jing Palace, and the return of the Three Dynasties became a farce.
