Chapter 291: Confrontation
This question made Guangsheng also speechless, he stared at the thin and familiar figure shrinking in the corner, and suddenly blurted out: "You have these thoughts, why don't you say them - you don't believe others, why haven't you even confided in me?!" โ
When I think about it, when he was around, she was always smart and delicate, worrying about him, bringing him food and clothing, and making all kinds of jokes to make him laugh easily-he never thought that under her ungloomy smile, there would be such a tragic heartache!
"Humph......"
His distress was exchanged for her mocking sneer, "Sue you, what can you do - oh, I forgot about it, you are now Lord Shen, the commander of the Jinyi Guard!" But even if you have great powers and can save me, can you move the emperor to pardon us all? Zhu Di's edict, thousands of people were copied by melons, dead death, exiled exile, can you change this qiฤ? โ
In the darkness, her eyes sparkled, like the pain of a falling star, or like the coldest of mysterious mockery, and he strode over, not knowing whether to hold her in his arms or to pick her up and settle the score!
After a long distance, he finally stopped, and asked in a deep voice: "I just want to ask one question - are you really deliberately lurking by my side?" โ
After thinking about it all morning, at first his heartache and anger made him almost lose his mind, but after all, he slowly calmed down, and the doubts in his heart not only did not let go, but became even greater!
Xiao Gu didn't raise his head, and sneered: "Are you a pig brain?" You were just a mere prince before, what's the benefit of lurking around you?! โ
was scolded like this. Guangsheng's heart was much more relaxed, and his mood was miraculously happy - she was indeed as he had guessed. It was not a deliberate attempt to deceive him.
Knowing this, his tone was much lighter and softer. "Then why are you hiding and stooping to our house?"
"For your cousin Ruyao......"
This answer made Guangsheng stunned, and then he heard Xiao Gu add: "To be precise, it's for the wooden box in her hand." โ
Her faint eyes looked ahead blankly, and only when she spoke of this wooden box did a sharp light flash, "It is said that this wooden box contains the edict of Emperor Jianwen." โ
"That's what happened!"
Guang Sheng's body was shocked after hearing this-he had long known that Zhu Di was frantically searching for clues about Emperor Jianwen, and for more than ten years, he had not only discharged Hu Ying all over the world, but also Zheng He went to the West. There is also a reason for this.
"What's in this wooden box? Why is it in Ruyao's hands? โ
He heard that his heartbeat was a little faster - such a hot potato, if he couldn't make the entire Jining Hou Mansion be dragged down by it, it would turn into powder in an instant!
"It was passed down from Mrs. Zhang's side, and the course of the matter was tortuous, and I can't tell it all accurately - as for the inside, no one has really been able to open it."
After Xiao Gu finished speaking lightly, he suddenly changed his words and sneered: "Don't patronize me!" You have never told me that you have become the commander of the Jinyi Guardโsuch a high authority. I haven't congratulated you yet, young master! โ
She opened her eyes wide to see him, and there was a mocking flame in the depths of her pupils, and even more hidden pain, "I didn't expect it." Young Master, your true identity turned out to be this! No wonder you became the emperor's favorite minister so quickly, and directly attacked the title of Marquis of Jining by bypassing your own uncle! โ
Although the tone was sarcastic, she also secretly scolded herself for being stupid at this time: he was busy outside on weekdays. I almost come back to sleep, and sometimes I don't see anyone for days. Where could an ordinary noble and idle marquis be so busy, and he actually stupidly listened to his various lies. Never doubted!
Without waiting for Guangsheng to speak, she shook her head and laughed at herself: "You don't need to say it, I am too stupid, and you are too cautious, this is the way it should be - from beginning to end, it was me who was blind and clumsy, and mistook the goshawk in the sky for a gentle and close white dove!" โ
Guangsheng listened to her ridicule quietly, but his heart was mixed, and after a long time, he whispered: "Hide from others, I have a thousand reasons......"
Jinyiwei is now in a dangerous situation, and the saint wants him to catch the unscrupulous elements in the Beijing camp without showing a look, and the East Factory is pressing forward step by step...... These are the reasons why he is hidden behind the scenes.
He stared at her deeply, took a breath, and finally said what had been hidden in his heart for a long time-
"But I only have one thought for you - I don't want to scare you, let you know that your young master I have done this murderous deed without blinking!"
"That time in Yue Xianglou, you saw the Jinyi guards arresting people, and I still remember your expression of horror and disgust deeply - therefore, every time I say something to my mouth, I can't say it!"
He said the block in his chest in one breath, and sighed: "It's like, you will never be able to tell me in person, you are the twelve girls of the Jinlan Society!" โ
This sentence was right in Xiao Gu's heart, her body trembled, she raised her head, and she was facing him, and both of them instantly saw the bitterness and pain and entanglement in each other's eyes.
Xiao Gu whispered, "You're right, we'll never be able to tell each other the truth. โ
She sighed, as if relieved, "so we don't have to blame each other - I'm glad you can see me, and I don't blame you if you want to interrogate me, or even torture meโas you said before, it's duty!" โ
Her gaze pierced through the bars and looked at the wall around the cornerโthe unspeakable instruments of torture that hung on the wall, rested on the mahogany cabinet, and filled with the chest.
Her face was a little pale, her dark eyelashes fluttered, and the corners of her lips were pursed into cold and uncompromising lines.
Guangsheng was stunned for a moment, and then became angry, "You regard death as home!" โ
He was so angry that he approached her, grabbed her by the collar, pulled her close to him, and said, "Do you know how those jailers will deal with disobedient female prisoners? โ
The evil meaning contained in this sentence made her eyes tremble, and she didn't know whether it was because of anger or shame, she glared at him fiercely, and said in a low voice: "Then do you know, how will our Jin Lan deal with the pain and humiliation after being captured?" โ
This sentence was so concise and crisp that Guangsheng almost jumped up in fright, pinched her chin, and whispered: "What are you hiding in your mouth?" Spit it out for me! โ
Xiao Gu was pinched by his pincer-like fingers in severe pain, but he glanced at him stubbornly and ignored him.
"Spit it out for me, what are you biting your lip for?! Bite through the poison and you're going to the western sky! โ
Guangsheng shouted in a low voice, almost out of breath. (To be continued......)
