Gu Huaijin and Ye Wanyu were both shocked by Gu Tingge's words.

Xu sensed the danger, and the child cried out wow, heartbreaking, and it made people's hearts feel very uncomfortable.

Zhou Deshan couldn't bear it, frowned and said: "Grand Commander, something has happened, the child is innocent, I know that the Grand Commander and Xingyuan must not know, and the Zhou family and the Gu family will not be separated in the future." ”

Zhou Deshan promised that he already had feelings for this child, but this child was raised in the Zhou family, Zhou Jue couldn't get over that hurdle, and he also responded in his heart, if he was raised in the Gu family, he would see him in Hanjing in the future, and he would be able to talk calmly, and it would not be too uncomfortable.

Gu Tingge ignored it and only looked at Gu Huaijin fixedly.

Ye Wanyu panicked now, this child is the bloodline of the Gu family, she is so happy in her heart, but Gu Hengxiu is she watched grow to such a big point little by little, it is the flesh of her heart, how can she be willing to watch him die?

Both of them wanted to stay, Ye Wanyu knelt down with a puff, didn't dare to beg Gu Tingge, hugged Gu Huaijin's leg and cried: "Husband, Xiu'er is only twenty years old, he is just young and ignorant, and he is confused for a while, you can't sentence him to death because of this time, and Xiu'er is filial, ten years ago, you had malaria, and Xiu'er couldn't untie his clothes and served you by the bedside with me." ”

Ye Wanyu listed many filial things that Gu Hengxiu had done before, Gu Huaijin was moved, and his expression became sad, but he had read books all his life and learned etiquette, righteousness and shame all his life, and he really couldn't say the words of both in front of Zhou Deshan.

He avoided Ye Wanyu's gaze and said in a deep voice, "Big brother, don't hurt this child." ”

The implication is to keep it small.

Ye Wanyu's eyes widened, tears flowed non-stop, knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to Zhou Deshan, and said: "Captain Zhou, I know that Xiu'er is not doing something right, he is ridiculously wrong, in the future, I will eat fasting and chant Buddha, and pray for Zhou Jue and the Zhou family every day to atone for my sins, okay?" You spare Xiu'er. ”

Zhou Deshan is not good at dealing with women, especially Ye Wanyu looks so humble and miserable now.

Zhou Deshan just wanted to relax and say that he didn't care, Gu Tingge said coldly: "He is guilty of the felony of forming a party for personal gain and sabotaging the diplomatic relations between the two countries, if Your Majesty has to pursue it, let alone save his life, even the entire Guogong Mansion may be implicated together, do you think this is a matter that can be solved in a few words?" ”

Ye Wanyu looked up at Gu Tingge, resentment surged in her heart, and said hatefully: "Big brother, you are not at the border all the year round, my husband and I have always treated Xingyuan as our own son, but now that Xiu'er has an accident, you are so ruthless, our second room is just a dog code for you to take care of the family's nursing home?" ”

The second room has been saying that it is good to help Gu Tingge take care of Gu Hengzhou over the years, to put it badly, they live in the house of the Guogong Mansion, with the money of the Guogong Mansion, no matter where they go out, they rely on the face of the Guogong Mansion, and now they say such things, it is really chilling.

Gu Hengzhou and Zhou Deshan frowned at the same time, Gu Tingge did not argue with Ye Wanyu, took the child back into his arms and patted it gently to soothe, and said in a deep voice: "I can't do anything about this matter, if you really want to protect him, you can go to the palace to beat the drum and complain in front of the palace." ”

After Gu Tingge finished speaking, he looked at Gu Huaijin again, and said coldly: "Since my younger brother and sister have been holding grudges in our hearts for a long time, we still don't want to live in one place in the future, the second brother can make a list when he goes back, and move from the warehouse to the west courtyard together, tomorrow I will find someone to build the wall, and in the future, the east courtyard and the west courtyard will not come and go!" ”

Before, it was just Gu Hengzhou who went out to set up his own door, Gu Tingge also lived in the Guogong Mansion with the second room, and the face of the second room was barely enough, but now Gu Tingge said that he wanted to separate the family with them, and the face was all gone.

Gu Huaijin was taken aback, and subconsciously called: "Big brother......"

Gu Tingge didn't want to talk to him, so he didn't turn his head and ordered: "Get out!" ”

Gu Huaijin lost her voice, Ye Wanyu's energy consumption today was too great, she couldn't make a fuss at this time, endured her temper, and whispered: "This is Xiu'er's child, since the eldest brother wants to split the family, should we give the child to us?" ”

The child stopped crying after being patted on the back for a while, yawned and wanted to sleep, Gu Tingge covered his ears and said softly: "This child was born dirty, he shouldn't have survived in the world, it is already kind to leave him alive, you don't want to touch him." ”

"Big brother, don't go too far!" Ye Wanyu screamed, if it weren't for Gu Tingge's skills, she was afraid that she would have already pounced on the child and snatched the child.

Gu Tingge lowered his eyes and looked at her, and said faintly: "If you are dissatisfied with this matter, you can also report it to the imperial front." ”

After Gu Tingge finished speaking, he didn't want to speak again, turned his back and stopped looking at them, Ye Wanyu still wanted to make trouble, but was forcibly pulled away by Gu Huaijin.

The room was quiet, Zhou Deshan sighed, and was about to say goodbye, Gu Tingge sighed: "Deshan, the Gu family and I are ashamed of you!" ”

Zhou Deshan's eyes were surging with water, and he snorted his lower lip, but he didn't say anything after all.

Gu Huaijin pulled Ye Wanyu back to the West Courtyard, and as soon as she arrived at the main courtyard, Ye Wanyu sprinkled again, complaining that Gu Huaijin was useless, and she was just a little waiter for so many years, and complained that Gu Huaijin had only cared about Gu Hengzhou all these years, and neglected to discipline her two sons, which would lead to today's disaster.

Ye Wanyu complained and counted everything, Gu Huaijin listened quietly, without saying a word, but her back bent down little by little, as if someone had broken her backbone inch by inch, and she could no longer straighten her waist.

Crying to the end, Ye Wanyu begged Gu Huaijin to sue the royal court, and begged Zhao Che to spare Gu Hengxiu's life.

But the royal petition is not so easy to sue, to kneel from the palace gate has been nailed with iron nails of the wooden board to the council hall, this road is hundreds of meters, since the founding of Zhaoling, no one has ever sued.

Even if Gu Huaijin could hold out to the front of the emperor, he would not have the bargaining chips to bargain with Zhao Che.

It wasn't something he could solve.

Annoyed by Ye Wanyu, Gu Huaijin wanted to go out of the mansion to hide for a while, but found that the outside of the Guogong Mansion was surrounded by the Praetorian Guards, and everyone was forbidden to travel.

Gu Hengxiu and the Jiang family's conspiracy was revealed, and now they are still awaiting trial in Dali Temple, and other people in the Guogong Mansion may also be accomplices, so naturally they can't travel at will.

Gu Huaijin turned back with a wry smile on her face.

I didn't expect that the Gu family would be able to make such a joke, I don't know what kind of feelings the ancestors of the Gu family have when they look at it below.

It's ridiculous.

This case is very wide-ranging, if you really want to exterminate the nine tribes according to the law, I am afraid that the floor tiles at the noon gate will be dyed bright red.

The officials of Dali Temple interrogated day and night, sorting out the entire network of relationships as much as possible, and Zhao Che stayed with the important ministers of the court every day to discuss how to deal with the case.

Five days later, Zhao Che made a verdict in front of hundreds of officials, the main culprits in this case were beheaded and displayed to the public, the secondary accomplices were dismissed and exiled, and the accomplices were demoted again, and they were not promoted for five years.

This kind of treatment is already quite gentle and generous, and the officials have no opinion.

On February 28, the noon gate was full of onlookers, Emperor Zhaoming personally supervised the beheading, and the anti-thieves who wanted to destroy the diplomatic relations between the two countries led by Jiang De'an, the Taiwei, were all escorted to the noon gate, and dozens of people knelt densely.

These people are also considered to be well-known figures in Beijing on weekdays, and the onlookers are embarrassed, and they can't figure out why these people want to do this kind of headless thing.

The Jiang family is the mastermind, almost everyone is on the beheading list, no one comes to see them off, and the others are naturally avoided by others like plague gods.

Still, as it was noon, there was a commotion from the crowd.

Ye Wanyu led people to rush to the beheading table with a food box to see off Gu Hengxiu.

In just a few days, Gu Hengxiu was so thin that only bones remained, his eye sockets were sunken, his cheekbones were protruding, and he was extremely embarrassed, as soon as Ye Wanyu saw him, she hugged him and cried bitterly, and kept calling out to me poor son.

The voice was miserable, but it made the onlookers red-eyed.

Gu Hengxiu was very calm, not surprised or happy by Ye Wanyu's arrival, as if looking at a stranger, indifferent.

Ye Wanyu personally fed Gu Hengxiu a few mouthfuls of food, Gu Hengxiu said that she couldn't eat it, she didn't force it, but turned her head and came to Jiang Qinse with a plate of untouched dishes, and said eagerly: "Cersei, don't worry, we will help you take good care of the child in the future, you failed to marry Xiu'er in this life, and you will definitely be able to be husband and wife in the next life. ”

Ye Wanyu's voice was not loud or small, and the onlookers who stood closer could hear it.

Jiang Qinse's eyes widened in surprise, she never thought that Ye Wanyu would say such things in public, she liked Gu Hengxiu and wanted to be with Gu Hengxiu, but now they were about to be beheaded, if their private affairs were poked out, wouldn't that child have to live with countless abuses and being poked in the back by others in the future?

The child was conceived and born by Jiang Qinse in October, and it is impossible to hope that he is not good.

Jiang Qinse frowned and denied: "Mrs. Gu, what are you talking about?" Why don't I understand, my son is from the Zhou family, why should you help take care of it? ”

Ye Wanyu resented Zhou Deshan for bringing the child here, causing Gu Tingge to be ruthless and no longer care about Gu Hengxiu, and to separate from the second room.

Gu Tingge had already said that the child would not be allowed to touch the second room, and Ye Wanyu naturally didn't care about what would happen to the child in the future, and only thought out this evil breath in her heart.

Hearing Jiang Qinse's denial, Ye Wanyu said loudly: "Cersei, I know that you were forced to marry Zhou Jue three years ago, what you like has always been Xiu'er, you have been secretly in contact for the past three years, except for the wedding night, you haven't let Zhou Jue touch you at all in the past three years, the child has the blood of the Gu family on his body, and the Gu family will definitely not treat him badly in the future." ”

Ye Wanyu's words revealed all the dirt between the two and exposed them in front of everyone.

Jiang Qinse felt like she had been slapped a few times, she didn't expect to be humiliated like this before she died, she didn't give up, and desperately shouted to Gu Hengxiu: "Gu Ershao, you speak, I have never had a private relationship with you!" ”

Gu Hengxiu didn't respond to Jiang Qinse, he probably guessed what Ye Wanyu wanted to do, hooked his lips and smiled: "Cersei, people die like smoke, at this time, don't be afraid anymore, the child is ours, if it wasn't for the eldest brother to help cover up, we wouldn't be able to be together so smoothly, do you say?" ”

After Gu Hengxiu finished speaking, the corners of his lips rose happily, he didn't care if Jiang Qinse would be scolded after he died, and he didn't care about the child, he just felt that it was a very happy thing to pour some dirty water on his good big brother when he was dying, and to separate the relationship between him and Zhou Jue. Zero Zero Book House

Noon soon came, and the farce did not last long, and they were beheaded.

Ye Wanyu didn't dare to look at this picture, but when she came back from the noon gate, her whole person was like losing her soul, no matter what she did, she was in a trance.

Jiang Qinse and Gu Hengxiu's private affairs caused a stir in Hanjing, although Gu Tingge and Erfang separated, the Guogong Mansion and the Zhou family still became everyone's after-dinner jokes.

Especially Zhou Jue, everyone was secretly speculating whether he had a physical problem, so Jiang Qinse couldn't even look down on him and went to Gu Hengxiu for that sick seedling.

After this incident, Zhou Jue's temper became indifferent, and he had a tense face all day long, and his expression was so gloomy that he seemed to be pulling out a knife to cut someone at any time, and all his colleagues who were good friends with him on weekdays walked around him.

The trade envoys who cooperated with the Jiang family in the spices were also investigated and punished, and the trade between the two countries was not affected, but this matter was not good, Zhao Che prepared a generous gift to Murong Xuan, ready to let him bring it back to Nanxiang, which can be regarded as consolidating the diplomatic relations between Zhaoling and Nanxiang.

Because of this case, Hanjing was silent for half a month.

On March 12, Qingming Festival, Zhao Che took hundreds of officials to the imperial tomb to worship.

There is no rain in Hanjing in spring, but this year's Qingming is rare to drizzle, and the weather that has just warmed up has become cold again because of the rain.

Zhao Che returned to the palace from the imperial mausoleum, with a cold chill all over his body.

He sat in Chenhua Palace for a while, and then went to Ci'an Palace.

The Queen Mother has been in poor health for the past few days, and has been recuperating in the palace, and the imperial doctor has prescribed her many prescriptions but has not been able to recuperate.

The weather was cold, and charcoal was burning in the house, and as soon as the door was opened, the heat came to the face, dissipating the cold air of the whole body, and making the limbs and bones warm.

The palace people whispered to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, Your Majesty has come to see you." ”

The Queen Mother opened her eyes, glanced at Zhao Che, and said lightly: "Didn't the emperor go to the imperial mausoleum today, how can he have time to come to see the mourning family?" ”

Zhao Che waved his hand to signal the palace people to retreat, walked to the bedside, looked at the Queen Mother calmly, and said gently: "Come back early, thinking that the imperial grandmother is not in good health these days, just come over to see, how do you feel today?" ”

The Queen Mother closed her eyes and said, "That's it, you can't die anyway." ”

The tone was obviously angry, Zhao Che hooked his lips and smiled, and asked, "Grandmother is still angry with me?" ”

The Queen Mother turned her back to Zhao Che, and said with a gun and a stick: "Don't you dare to mourn the family, the emperor has hard wings now, and no one takes it seriously, and the mourning family doesn't dare to lose his temper with you." ”

Zhao Che sat down on the edge of the bed, with a slight smile on his face, and said faintly: "No matter how hard my wings are, how hard is my grandmother, my grandmother has enjoyed a lifetime of happiness, I don't want my grandson to be good, and I want to win over Prince Xiao to pull me down from this throne, I am very afraid." ”

Zhao Che's voice was not loud, and all the palace people who were waiting in the house retreated, and the surroundings were quiet, and the words fell on the ears of the Queen Mother, which was tantamount to a thunderclap on the ground.

The Queen Mother's body stiffened, then she turned her head to look at Zhao Che in surprise, and said angrily: "Emperor, what are you talking about?" ”

Zhao Che lowered his eyes, his expression became gloomy and gloomy, the corners of his lips were still raised, but his smile was very cold, like a sharp blade, which would kill people at any time.

"Does Grandmother remember my mother?" Zhao Che asked gently, her expression was dyed with two points of warmth, but the Queen Mother seemed to have seen a ghost, she wanted to scold Zhao Che and ask him not to mention such an unlucky person, Zhao Che ignored her expression and continued, "I remember that the Queen Mother is a very gentle person, at that time she had a very good relationship with her father, and many times her father would accompany her to enjoy the flowers and scenery in the palace. ”

"Mother is good at Danqing, painted a lot of portraits for my father, those paintings used to be mounted on the wall of Chenhua Palace, but after the death of the queen mother, my father burned these paintings, and sent my uncle to Yunshan Temple to let him lead the practice, my grandfather used to often come to the palace to see me, since the death of the queen mother, it is difficult for me to see him."

Speaking of the old things, Zhao Che's voice became gentle, his eyes were dyed with light, the Queen Mother probably guessed why Zhao Che came to tell her these things today, turned around, a face was cold and tense, and it was dyed fierce: "The emperor has said so much, doesn't he plan to show his true intentions?" ”

The Queen Mother took the initiative to clarify the topic, Zhao Che didn't go around the bend, laughed lowly, and then lifted her eyes to look at the Queen Mother and asked: "I just feel very puzzled, the Queen Mother was famous for her virtuous and dignified, and she was also very good to your grandmother, what are you dissatisfied with her, to the point of threatening her life." ”

When the Queen Mother poisoned the first queen, it was written off by Emperor Hengde, and he didn't think about seeking justice for the first queen until he died, but in Zhao Che's place, he couldn't get by.

After all, Zhao Che was separated from the Queen Mother by a lifetime, and with the deliberate protection of Emperor Hengde, he had no good impression of the Queen Mother and the entire Lu family.

What Emperor Hengde didn't want to do, Zhao Che, who was a son, had to do it after all.

The Queen Mother was not afraid, looked at Zhao Che and asked, "Does the emperor have evidence to prove that those things were done by the mourning family?" ”

Zhao Che shook his head and said truthfully: "Grandmother's methods are very clever, and there are many people who are secretly helping you, even if I use all the means and methods, I can't muster enough ironclad evidence." ”

The Queen Mother had expected this result for a long time, after all, it happened more than ten years ago, what evidence could there be?

A smile flashed in the Queen Mother's eyes, and she was about to say something more, but Zhao Che changed her words and said: "But I am different from the officials of Dali Temple, I just want to seek a truth and justice, and I don't need to handle the case, let alone convince the world." ”

Hearing this, the Queen Mother's intuition was not good, and a chill crept up on her back, she sat up with her body propped up, and wanted to ask Zhao Che what she wanted to do, but because she was too excited, she coughed all of a sudden.

In the past few days, her spirit has not been very good, coughing endlessly, Zhao Che also kindly helped her and helped her pat her back to stop coughing, the Queen Mother didn't appreciate it at all, and wanted to push his hand away, but coughed up a mouthful of black blood.

The Queen Mother enjoyed a lifetime of blessings, quite sparing her life, seeing the black blood on the ground, she was frightened into a cold sweat, and immediately said loudly: "Come on, please the doctor, please ask the doctor!" ”

It was quiet outside, no one answered, and no one came in.

Zhao Che continued what he just said: "I have always felt that it is fairer to repay one report and one report, so how did my grandmother kill my mother back then, and how will I send my grandmother away." ”

This is to blatantly poison the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother was furious and raised her hand to give Zhao Che a slap, Zhao Che got up to avoid it, and the Queen Mother's slap missed, and she fell to the ground all of a sudden, and she fell so embarrassed.

Zhao Che looked at her condescendingly, his eyes were indifferent, as if he was looking at an irrelevant person.

The Queen Mother was so angry that her whole body trembled, gritted her teeth and said hatefully: "Emperor, I am your grandmother, you dare to kill your relatives and let the world know that you will be poked in the back." ”

Zhao Che admired the anger of the Queen Mother and said: "No one will know about my grandmother after she killed her mother back then, so how can anyone know about today's events?" ”

He's the emperor now.

The Jiang family has been removed, the Li family is long gone, and the Wei family has redeveloped and prospered, what else does he have to scruple about?

The Queen Mother gasped more and more, and Zhao Che said: "Grandmother, rest assured, after you die, I will let the Internal Affairs Office bury you in accordance with the highest etiquette system, and it is not easy for you to live until now, it is considered a happy funeral, and I will also set up a banquet to invite hundreds of officials into the palace to celebrate my grandmother's death and ascend to Bliss." ”

The Queen Mother was so angry that she vomited blood again, but she couldn't get up, pointed at Zhao Che for a long time, and only scolded two words: "Beast!" ”

Zhao Che didn't care, and said: "Grandmother will recuperate in the palace these days, I am busy with government affairs, and when my grandmother swallows her breath, I will naturally come to see my grandmother again." ”

After Zhao Che finished speaking, he walked out, the Queen Mother couldn't swallow this breath, and crawled towards the door, Zhao Che pushed the door open, looked back at her and said: "By the way, grandmother, don't worry, you have protected the Lu family all your life, I will definitely make it fall apart, and from now on, the glory of the Lu family will become a history that Zhaoling will never reappear." ”

After Zhao Che finished speaking, he strode out, and the Queen Mother climbed to the door a little more, and heard Zhao Che's cold order: "The weather is hot, and the doors and windows are stuffy and not good for my grandmother's health, so the charcoal fire in the house has been removed." ”

Further back, only footsteps farther and farther away remained.

The cold wind poured into the house, and the palace people outside the palace heard the queen mother laughing wildly: "Retribution, what retribution!" ”

Coming out of Ci'an Palace, Zhao Che's face was very bad, even colder than this cold weather.

Sun Yuehai helped Zhao Che hold the umbrella, but he didn't dare to take a big breath, and waited for Zhao Che to get on the soft sedan chair before he asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, the Internal Affairs Office sent something to Nanchen Palace today, and the Oriental girl has a lot of credit this time, Your Majesty wants to go and see?" ”

After Zhao Che didn't accept the concubine, every time he went to Nanchen Palace to see Shen Bai, he would be a little happier.

Sun Yuehai's proposal was also to make Zhao Che change his mood.

Zhao Che didn't respond for a long time, Sun Yuehai was a little worried that he had said the wrong thing, and was thinking about how to make up for it, Zhao Che responded lightly: "Hmm." ”

Sun Yuehai breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty is driving Nanchen Palace!" ”

Different from the desertion of Ci'an Palace, Nanchen Palace is very lively, not only Shen Bai, but also Zhao Mingyi and Zhao Mingxi.

Zhao Che didn't let people pass it on, he got off the soft sedan chair and walked over, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Shen Bai wearing a red and bright wedding dress and sitting on the beauty couch with a bright smile.
