Chapter 389: The Truth
There is nothing to do in the inner courtyard of the palace, and it is also idle. When he went in, Gu Jianglin was sitting at the stone table under the tree drinking tea and reading a book, so he didn't look leisurely.
"Why are you here?" Gu Jianglin glanced back when he heard the voice, only to realize that it was Xu Bu, "Did something wrong with daring to enter the palace to see me?" β
"Can you bring this forward?" Xu Zhi asked with a sigh.
"Why do you suddenly have to do this in advance, the more space you have left for them, the more fox tails they will show." Gu Jianglin frowned, only then did he realize that Xu Buzhi's expression didn't look very good, so he sighed and said, "What's wrong with you?" It doesn't look like I've had a good rest. β
"I just got a shocking piece of news." Xu Buzhi sighed and lowered his head, "Miss Xi's maid Cuiyun came to me, saying that the poison in Miss Xi's body had been poisoned and could not be saved, and now she was dying, so she wanted to take Qi Lichen back to meet her." β
"What? How did it look like this, and when was it poisoned? Is it in Fengxian Town? Gu Jianglin frowned, sighed again, and seemed to be thinking about what happened at that time, "No wonder I felt that something was wrong, but I didn't think much about it at the time, so I left, and now that I think about it, Miss Xi, she ...... She's such a great woman. β
"He has helped us so much, we can't let her not even see her fiancΓ© for the last time at this time." Xu Buzhi said: "So I'm here to ask for your meaning." β
Gu Jianglin sighed, "You take the time to let Qi Lichen entrust you with all the things in his hands, and then let Qi Lichen go back, Miss Xi, she is worth giving up everything to others." β
Xu Buzhi nodded.
He actually wanted to go back to Qixian County to take a look at Xi Muyun, but he also knew that he needed people here and couldn't leave.
Now that this plan has finally reached a critical point, it can't fall short, and a failure means that Gu Jianglin has no credibility in the court, and the matter of accepting bribes is completely conclusive, and there is no possibility of overturning the case again, maybe, even the crown prince has no hope.
The emperor put him under house arrest here, first of all, he said that he wanted to be careful and calm, and he probably didn't want him to move outside anymore.
The emperor is always suspicious, although the treasure was sent to him, but he always doubted that this was not all of the treasure, so when this case of accepting bribes came out, it was almost a snake and a seven-inch hit, and it hit his pulse at once.
Xu Buzhi nodded, "Qi Gongzi is still busy, and when he finishes the things at hand, I will tell him immediately and let him go back." β
Gu Jianglin sighed, "I can also see clearly along the way, the relationship between the two of them is very deep, let's calm this matter a little, don't let him be too anxious." β
Xu Buzhi nodded, "I know the measure." β
Gu Jianglin responded, "I still want the emperor to give them this pair of golden boys and girls, and the heavenly puppet Jiacheng to marry, but now I don't have this blessing to watch them get married, what I want to drink most is their wedding wine." β
Xu Zhizhi lowered his head slightly, "I also wish them that they can overcome this difficulty." With that, he turned and walked out.
Gu Xizhou watched outside the door and frowned slightly.
When the people were far away, he summoned a guard guarding the door and said, "What did the two of them say in there just now?" β
"The villain stood far away and didn't hear clearly, but it seemed to have said Miss Qi Gongzi or something." He shook his head as he spoke, he really couldn't remember, and he wanted to hear it clearly, but if he stood too close, he would be discovered, so he could only stand far away. Hot search
"Have you ever heard the word corruption or bribery?" Gu Xizhou sighed and said, he was really afraid that the other party would come up with some tricks to deal with him, and he knew it early, and he could have prevented it early.
The guard shook his head and said affirmatively, "I didn't hear that. β
Gu Xizhou didn't ask Danping any more, those two words could be imagined, it should be something wrong between Qi Lichen and his fiancΓ©e, but what went wrong, he didn't have time to think about it now.
Xu didn't know that he had waited in the mansion for a long time, Qi Lichen was late, and when he saw him, he breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "The matter is finally settled, they shouldn't be able to find out, and then the Jedi counterattack will rely on this, you tell the fifth prince that everything is ready." β
Xu Buzhi nodded, they had never disbelieved Qi Lichen, as long as it was given to him, he would definitely do it very well, without any problems.
After thinking about it, he slowly spoke: "I didn't come to you today for this problem. β
Qi Lichen didn't care, smiled and said: "After this matter is over, I don't dare to say that the emperor will deal with the six princes, but the position of this prince must belong to the five princes, so let the five princes not be too uncomfortable, after all, this is framed by the other party, and we are just looking for an opportunity to fight back." β
"Qi Lichen, listen carefully to me." Xu Buzhi suddenly became angry and shouted loudly.
Qi Lichen looked inexplicable, and after being stunned for a long time, he said: "If you have anything to say, you can say it well, and after you come in, you will be distracted, and you don't know what to say, or do you mean that the fifth prince has other things for me to do?" It doesn't matter, as long as I can do it, I will do it as soon as possible, and I will definitely help the fifth prince to seize the crown prince. β
Xu didn't know how to start, he didn't know where to start for a while, he only felt that his nose was sour, as if saying that sentence would make him tremble and tremble.
"Go back and take a look, Miss Xi, she's dying." Xu Buzhi mustered up the courage to say this sentence.
Qi Lichen paused slightly when he picked up the teacup, then quickly stood up, grabbed Xu Buzhi's collar tightly, and said angrily: "What are you talking about? Do you know what you're talking about? She's fine, how can she not work? β
He couldn't believe it was true, but he wouldn't allow Ignorance to make fun of it.
It's not true, it must not be true, he persuaded himself over and over again in his heart before getting the answer that Xu didn't know.
Xu Buzhi sighed, lowered his head slightly, and then said: "What I said is true, in Fengxian Town, in order to find our sister, Miss Xi did not hesitate to go deep into the danger of being poisoned, and then deceived Lan Feng, we were not poisoned at all, the poisoned girls in the flower building, Lan Feng is an extremely extreme person, and he does not allow his own failure, so he gave this antidote, but he did not give Xi Muyun the antidote." β
When she heard Cuiyun's narration, her heart ached like a knife.
He believed that Cuiyun was the same when he heard all this.
Qi Lichen only felt that his whole body was weak, and it seemed that he couldn't exert his strength up and down, but he fell to the ground softly, "No, it won't be like this, I want to go back." β
When I wanted to stand up, I found that my legs and feet were too weak to walk, my whole body was twitching, and my heart was even more empty, as if I had lost an extremely important thing.
"How so?" He was trembling as he spoke, and tears were falling from his eyes.
"Miss Cuiyun said that Miss Xi is terminally ill and hopeless, so you better go back quickly." Xu Buzhi turned his head as he spoke, and he couldn't bear to see the scene in front of him, "I'll find a carriage and send you back." β
