Chapter 260: Satisfied
Jiang Mingxuan never expected that Gu Ningyue, who had always kept her promises, would kill herself in her study.
Looking at Jiang Mingxuan, who was still wide-eyed when he died, the tears in Gu Ningyue's eyes no longer flowed.
At this moment, her heart was like ashes.
She didn't even bother to close those eyes, so she wiped the blood from the dagger with his sleeve, and then pushed open the door and walked towards her room.
Her baggage was still in that room, and the things there, even if she died, she had to take them with her.
But fortunately, the people at the door of the study have been sent away, but this is also the most wrong decision Jiang Mingxuan has made.
If the attendants guarding the door had not been sent away, Gu Ningyue had just left at this time, and I was afraid that the corpse would have been discovered by the attendants who pushed the door.
Quickly picking up the things she had brought with her when she came, Gu Ningyue left through the back door closest to her room.
After walking a short distance out of Jiangfu, Gu Ningyue hired a carriage and drove towards the capital.
No one has yet noticed her departure, and the night is about to begin, and if you wait, I am afraid that you will not be able to get out of this city gate.
Sitting in the carriage, Gu Ningyue's emotions had already settled.
If he hadn't heard the conversation between Jiang Mingxuan's personal attendants that day, I am afraid that he would not have thought that everything that happened in Li Guo was actually instructed by him behind his back.
Killing Jiang Mingxuan was the first time she had killed someone with a weapon, and it was also the first time she had not kept her promise.
It's just that she doesn't regret it.
If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be what I am today.
It was he who killed the former self, otherwise today, maybe he would not have been able to deal with him so ruthlessly.
When she arrived at the city gate, Gu Ningyue thought that she had already made an inspection, or someone had already discovered that Jiang Mingxuan was dead, so she didn't think about it, and went out of the city easily.
Gu Ningyue breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but she was inexplicable, and what Gu Qingfeng said to herself a long time ago echoed in her mind: "If you can leave a whole corpse when you die in the end, then it will be the greatest benefit that Jiang Mingxuan will give you." ”
At that time, he was so angry that he almost fought with Gu Qingfeng, now that he thinks about it, even if Gu Qingfeng has a thousand mistakes, he did the right thing in this matter.
I don't know how my own brother will laugh at himself when he sees himself coming back like this when he goes back this time.
A wry smile appeared at the corner of Gu Ningyue's mouth, just go, the road is your own, no matter what, you have to live.
In the Qinyang Palace, lanterns were lit one after another by the palace people, and Zhang Ruolan sat on the couch, holding a book in her hand, and was reading it seriously.
At this time, the palace maid who was close to her came in from outside, holding a letter in her hand and coming to Zhang Ruolan.
"Niangniang, a letter from the house." The palace maid bowed to Zhang Ruolan in a dignified manner, and then gave the letter to Zhang Ruolan with both hands.
Zhang Ruolan put down the scroll, opened the envelope, and took out the neatly folded letters.
Above is Lin's delicate little Kai, which looks pleasing to the eye
Looking at it, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Ruolan's mouth, sure enough, he, the father, would not let go of such a good opportunity for His Majesty to choose a concubine.
So quickly, he accepted a woman into the house and entered the family tree.
As soon as she saw this, before she could even turn the second page, Zhang Ruolan suddenly heard a eunuch's chant outside: "Your Majesty has arrived!" ”
Zhang Ruolan didn't even have time to put away the letters on the table before she heard the sound of the curtain opening.
She hurriedly got off the bed and saluted Zhou Qingwu, who stepped in, and said, "The concubine has seen Your Majesty." ”
Zhou Qingwu stretched out his hand to help her up, "Concubine Ai, please get up." ”
"Your Majesty." Zhang Ruolan's voice was as gentle as water as always, and Zhou Qingwu couldn't help but show a smile on his lips.
He took her by the hand and sat down on the couch, and his eyes suddenly fell on the small square table on the couch, on which lay an envelope and a letter.
Zhou Qingwu picked up the letter with a puzzled gaze and said to Zhang Ruolan: "Your father is here?" ”
Zhang Ruolan shook her head calmly: "Your Majesty, look at it, such a delicate little Kai is a woman's handwriting at a glance." ”
When Zhou Qingwu heard this, he looked at it, and it was really not Zhang Quan's.
"It was my aunt Lin who came into the palace." Zhang Ruolan explained: "My father is very busy, so this letter is ghostwritten by the Lin family. ”
Saying this, Zhang Ruolan saw that Zhou Qingwu's eyes had fallen on the letter, and panic crossed involuntarily in her eyes.
If Zhou Qingwu finds something between the lines, then his days in this harem will probably come to an end.
After reading the letter, Zhou Qingwu frowned slightly: "Your father accepted a daughter in the house?" Also included in the family tree? ”
Zhang Ruolan nodded, although her face was calm, her fingers couldn't help but clench.
She didn't know what Lin wrote behind, but Lin had always been cautious about this, but Zhou Qingwu was reading this letter at this time, which still made Zhang Ruolan feel uneasy.
Zhou Qingwu slapped the letter lightly on the table, stared at Zhang Ruolan and asked, "Have you finished reading this letter?" ”
Zhang Ruolan said truthfully: "I haven't finished reading it, Your Majesty happened to come over, and the concubine didn't have time to see it." ”
Zhou Qingwu tapped the letter with his finger and said to Zhang Ruolan: "Take a look!" ”
Zhang Ruolan panicked, her brows couldn't help frowning slightly, she picked up the letter and opened it directly, read the letter, and immediately got down to the bed and bowed deeply to Zhou Qingwu: "Please also ask Your Majesty to forgive me, the concubine has no knowledge of this matter, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive." ”
Zhou Qingwu sat there and didn't move, he looked at her quietly, and only after a while did he show a smile and say to Zhang Ruolan: "Get up!" If you knew about it, he wouldn't have to write to tell you. ”
Zhang Ruolan breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, stood up and said to Zhou Qingwu: "Your Majesty is not angry with your concubines." ”
Zhou Qingwu took her hand and sat on the couch, and said lightly: "Your father is very new to the matter of my concubine selection, and he actually accepted the beauty as a righteous daughter early and was ready to send it to me." ”
"The emperor is angry?" Zhang Ruolan asked softly.
Zhou Qingwu shook his head, he must be the only official in the capital who does this, who doesn't want to climb as high as possible?
It's just the mind of the protector, I'm afraid it's not just that simple.
"Your father chose a beauty to enter the palace, shouldn't the most angry person be your concubine?"
Zhou Qingwu's words already had a sense of temptation.
Zhang Ruolan smiled and said: "Even if the concubine is angry, the concubine's father will still do the same, not to mention that as long as His Majesty remembers the concubine, the concubine will feel content." Just begged the emperor not to get a newcomer, so he said that the concubines would forget, and the concubines would be satisfied. ”
