Chapter 174: Severing Relations
In the blink of an eye, another day passed.
In the evening, the white-clothed building sounded again in the remnants of the sun.
Looking at the beautiful man dancing upstairs, and listening to the majestic man's singing voice in the tragedy, Gu Cheng retracted his gaze and said to the person next to him, "Go back." β
"Yes." The carriage started and drove him back towards the Gu Mansion.
Gu's father was not long when he was in Sima, and the mansion was still newly repaired, standing quietly in the residual light, looking very magnificent.
Looking at his tall mansion under the residual light, Gu Cheng waved his hand to stop the carriage. He raised his head and looked quietly, looking at the three big characters of Sima Mansion in the remnant sun of heaven and earth, and after a long time, Gu Cheng asked in a low voice, "Has my father come back?" β
"Yu Erlang, the adults have already returned to the house."
"Well, let's go in."
The carriage drove into the mansion, and after crossing a wooden corridor, Gu Cheng came to a study, and when he saw him coming, several maidservants blushed and blessed, and called softly: "I've seen Erlang." β
Gu Cheng didn't raise his eyelids, just waved his hand, and after signaling them to step back, he pushed the door and entered.
Gu Fu was reading a book in the study, and when he heard his son's footsteps, he asked without raising his head, "Are you back?" β
"Yes, it's back." Gu Cheng sat down across from him.
Father Gu put down the book in his hand, he looked up at Gu Cheng, and looked at the son's face that was becoming more and more cold and elegant in the candlelight, Father Gu asked, "Have you ever seen Liu Jing?" Letter to her? Did she watch? β
"Yes, I gave it to her, and I saw it." Gu Cheng should come here and whispered, "I look at her expression." Seems unmoved. β
Father Gu was taken aback, and he asked in surprise: "The letter written by her father can't move her?" β
"Yes." Gu Cheng nodded.
Father Gu stared at Gu Cheng tightly, stroked his long beard and said, "When you begged me to enter Runan, but as I said, this is the last time you begged me for the Liu family's affairs. Now that she still refuses, you should die, right? β
Gu Cheng's handsome and elegant face became more and more pale, and he lowered his eyes and did not speak for a long time.
Looking at his son's face, Gu's father asked softly, "Has your health improved this time?" Ah Cheng, it's been a hard time for you in the past few years. is looking for the eldest prince for His Majesty. You also have to dodge all kinds of open guns and arrows. Especially in the past two years, you have fought with your life, and you have to save the eldest son of the emperor even when you are dying, and you have made great contributions to the thousand-year-old foundation of my Han Dynasty. Now. You're hell-bent on marrying the Liu family. Father ignored her and took those men to swagger through the market. The notoriety will also be as you wish. Now, she's given up on you herself, Ah Cheng. You tell your father, are you dead? β
Gu Cheng raised his dark eyes, he looked fixedly at the flickering candlelight on the right side, and after a while, he said in a dumb voice: "From that time in Wu Jun, I knew that her father was in trouble, but after ignoring it for the sake of the overall situation, it was like a stranger between her and me. Liu's person is extremely stubborn and assertive, father, I ......" His voice became difficult, he was silent for a long time, and Gu Cheng's voice was extremely hoarse...... But I still want to try again. β
Speaking of this, he stood up, and after bowing deeply to Gu's father, Gu Cheng said seriously: "My father said back then, as long as I find the great prince who is raised in the people for the common people in the world, and avoid the great disaster of my relatives taking power and my great Han foundation falling into the hands of others, everything will be left to me." Now that Liu's matter, I still say the same thing, and I want to see it again. But don't worry, the father will not let you out again in the future, and the child will find a way to deal with her affairs. With that, he walked out of the house with his waist straight.
Seeing Gu Cheng's departing back, Gu Sima sighed again.
Seeing Gu Cheng come out, the two guards immediately followed, "Lang Jun? β
Gu Cheng waved his hand and said, "Let's go, go to Dongyang Tower." β
"Yes!"
Dongyang Building, located in the bustling area of Luoyang East Street, is extremely elegantly furnished, and many literati and scholars like to gather here. In order to connect with them over the years, Gu Cheng has not come less.
When he came to Dongyang Tower, he listened to the Qin Niang talk for a while, and then waved his hand to let him retreat.
After Qin Niang retreated, Gu Cheng didn't feel sleepy for a while, he stood up and paced around the room with his hands in his hands.
Pacing and pacing, there was a knock on the door, Gu Cheng knew that it was Xiao Er who brought hot water, and he didn't look back, just called: "The door is not closed, come in by yourself." β
As soon as his voice fell, the door creaked open. At this time, Gu Cheng heard the laughter of several familiar families coming from next door, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, thinking: I didn't expect them to come today, it's really a coincidence.
So, he turned around, walked as he walked, and instructed Xiao Er, who came in with water, "Don't use the water for the time being." β
"Yes, Lang Jun." The little second responded, and after Gu Cheng left, he also withdrew with water.
A few friends next door hadn't seen Gu Cheng for a while, and they were all very excited when they met suddenly. After a period of etiquette, a few people began to chat.
We talked until the night was dark, and seeing that the hourglass was about to run out, Gu Cheng, who had already been injured and was fatally injured two years ago, and finally brought it back, was a little unable to hold on. He said goodbye to his friends and agreed on a place for tomorrow's meeting, and then left.
When I returned to my room, the door was not closed, but opened. Gu Cheng didn't care, and walked inside.
After recalling Xiao Er and washing his hands and feet with hot water, Gu Cheng blew out the candle flame, and began to untie his clothes by the bright moonlight that came in through the window.
Taking off his coat and shoes, he brushed open the deep hanging bed......
As soon as the bed curtain was opened, Gu Cheng stood up hurriedly, and then, a few friends next door to him heard Gu Cheng's suppressed low voice, "Who are you?" β
However, almost as soon as Gu Cheng's words came out, a sharp woman's scream pierced the sky, and it rang out loudly, and along with the scream, there was also a woman's trembling voice with fear and fright, "No, no! You, who are you? How are you in my room? Out of the clouds! Get out of the roomβ" As soon as the last word was over, another panicked scream and cry for help burst through the room at the same time, far away!
The friends looked at each other. Hearing the sound of footsteps up and down the building, he hurriedly rushed over.
Then, they knocked open Gu Cheng's door with a few strangers, and saw the beautiful girl who screamed in fright with tears in her eyes, and Gu Cheng, who also had a blue face and thin lips pursed into a line......
Wu Jing, the daughter of the three-room concubine of the Wu family of the Yuzhou Wang clan, was sent to the room where Gu Cheng lived in the restaurant by an unknown person, and when it reached Liu Jing's ears, it was already the afternoon of the second day.
The Wu family has great roots in Yuzhou. He is one of the dignitaries in Luoyang. This is a first-class mansion for dignitaries. is a concubine's daughter, and she is also expensive, although such a girl's family is not worthy of the Deng family, who is also a noble family and dignitary. can be matched with a second son who is still white in Sima Fuzhong. Be his wife. It's still enough!
So when this matter reached Liu Jing's ears, it was the Gu Mansion and the Wu Mansion that began a vigorous negotiation process on this marriage. Meantime. Luoyang people have speculated that although the Wu family is powerful, she actually appeared in a place like a restaurant where she hides dirt and dirt, and she was seen innocent, and she really wants to marry Gu Mansion as his wife, Gu Sima, who has always been upright, is afraid that she will not be happy. But no matter what, it is inevitable that Wu Jing will marry into the Gu family, and a concubine is indispensable!
Listening to the news from Zhang Jing, Liu Jing frowned, and after thinking for a while, she pursed her lips and said to Xing Xiu: "I don't know if Deng Jiajiulang is here?" I want to go to him. β
Xing Xiu was extremely smart, and when he heard it, he exclaimed in surprise: "Childe, do you suspect that you are on the Deng family?" β
Liu Jing lowered her eyes, and she said softly: "Yes, the traces of this matter are too obvious, I can't think of anyone who would be so cheap except for Deng Jialangjun!" β
Speaking of this, she said again: "Let's go, I'll go see Deng Jialangjun!" β
"Yes!"
But this time, Liu Jing was destined to pounce, and when she was in a hurry to find Deng Jiulang, Deng Jiulang was called into the palace by Queen Deng. γ
Outside the palace gate, a eunuch saw Deng Jiulang coming over and hurriedly greeted him. Deng Jiulang had a serious face and asked in a low voice, "My eldest brother, have they met with the queen mother?" β
"Yes." After the personal eunuch beside Empress Deng answered, he approached Deng Jiulang and said worriedly: "Now that the queen mother is alone in the room, she looks a little bad, and Lang Jun will persuade her more." β
Bad looks? What happened?
Deng Jiulang was startled, and he didn't care about talking to the eunuch anymore, so he directly pushed open the door and strode in.
Through layer after layer of curtains, Deng Jiulang soon saw Empress Deng.
Empress Deng was kneeling on the couch, her whole person shrunk into a ball, and it could be seen from the gently shrugged shoulders - his sister, who has always been strong and indestructible, is actually crying?
Deng Jiulang was shocked, he rushed to Empress Deng's side with an arrow step, and was about to reach out to stroke her back, but after hesitating for a moment, he withdrew his hand again. Walking up to her side and kneeling down, Deng Jiulang asked in a low voice, "Sister, what's going on?" β
Hearing the voice of her most beloved brother, Empress Deng covered her face with her hands, and after a while, her extremely hoarse, nasal voice came, "Ah Qing? β
"It's me, sister, it's me."
Empress Deng turned around suddenly, she pounced on Deng Jiulang, hugged her brother tightly, she couldn't help but tremble, and said with difficulty: "Ah Qing, I just got reliable news that the Great Empress Liu Sheng has fallen into the hands of Zhong Qingliu!" β
She raised her head and looked at Deng Jiulang, her face was pale, and her eyes were red, "Ah Qing! Empress Deng's beautiful lips trembled, her face turned white, and she said anxiously: "Ah Qing, this is terrible!" It's scary! The sons born to the first emperor were always unable to survive in the palace, and it was a matter of all the courtiers to be sent to the people for foster care! Now that he's back, I can't push and shove on the fact that he's not the emperor's flesh and blood! Ah Qing, Liu Sheng is already eight years old, he is already the governor, and that group of Qingliu has the grace to protect and support him, if he is allowed to succeed to the throne, my Deng clan will be in a big trend! Especially me, Ah Qing, especially me, Liu Sheng must know that I have been obstructing him from entering the palace all these years and sending people to take his life. As long as he becomes the new emperor, your sister and I will not be far from dead! β
Seeing his sister who was so pale and flustered, Deng Qing mourned in his heart, he hugged his sister's shoulders tightly, and said in a calm voice: "Sister, don't be afraid, everything has me, everything has us!" Sister, don't mess around, what do you say, you tell me, I will listen to you! β
"Listen to me for everything?"
"Yes!"
"It's against your will, so that you can't live happily anymore, are you willing?"
ββ¦β¦ Yes, sister, I do! β
"Okay, I want you to promise me one thing."
"Sister, you say!"
"You cut off the relationship with Liu Baiyi, and immediately made a marriage contract with Chang Jing, the county lord of Mingxiu, Yan Yue, the county lord of Yuxiu, Ajiao of the Wu family, and the four daughters of the Liang family. You take the lord of Mingxiu as your wife, the Wu family, the Liang family, and the Yan family as your concubines, and the children born to the three daughters are all sons-in-law. The county lord of Mingxiu is the most cherished daughter of Princess Qingyun, when Liu Sheng was sent out of the palace, she has always been secretly protected and raised by Princess Qingyun. You take her as your wife, you can make those Qingliu mistakenly think that my Deng clan has compromised and want to tie up with the eldest prince Liu Sheng, so that they will temporarily check off. Behind the three daughters of the Wu family, the Liang family, and the Yan family, is the middle faction that our Deng family must encircle, we are about to form an alliance, and everyone will feel at ease when we have a marriage contract! β
After a long time, it was not until Empress Deng felt the younger brother who was hugging, the hand that became cold, until one or two tears flowed down the corners of Deng Qing's eyes and slowly splashed on the back of Empress Deng's hand, that she heard her most beloved and the family always doted on her younger brother Deng Qing, and came softly and firmly in a voice that seemed to be lifeless, "Okay!" Sister, I listen to you, I will cut off relations with her! β
