So on her corpse, there are not only traces of animal gnawing, but also sporadic ambiguous traces.

Because the location of the corpse was remote and well concealed, even after a month, these traces were preserved intact, and a single examination was discovered.

The female dependents who used to envy Qiao Lixi couldn't help but gloat.

What is the most important thing about a woman?

Isn't it chastity.

Look, what about the scenery when you are alive?

Dying in such an unbearable way is a stain on Qiao Lixi's life.

Qiao Lixi's aftermath is the thing that everyone in the capital is most concerned about, needless to say, the people in the circle, no matter what kind of mood and purpose, they all want to go to the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion to mourn, and the people outside the circle came spontaneously, and the expressions and mentality between the two are completely different.

Gu Jinzhen was extremely decadent, sitting sluggishly on the mourning hall, as if he had aged dozens of years overnight.

But even his appearance still attracted the admiration of countless young girls.

Now that Qiao Lixi is gone, don't they just have a chance?

The lord of the neon dress?

The county lord of Nishang was placed by the emperor next to Gu Jinzhen, and the two of them were not even as good as strangers, let alone feelings or something.

Gu Jinzhen is still young and in need, whether it is physical needs or the needs of his heirs, there is no shortage of women by his side, so a ceremony of worship and condolence has become a place for famous ladies to see each other.

Three days of grief and heartache are not enough for the people of the Gu family to vent and the people of the Marquis Mansion in Zhenyuan to be silent, but what should come will always come, when Qiao Lixi was buried, the people of the capital spontaneously organized a team to send each other off, and went to the ancestral tomb of the Shen family together.

Gu Jinzhen was depressed at home for four or five days, but the Marquis of Zhenyuan was furious and reprimanded him well, so he cheered up a little and went to the morning court as usual, but he no longer had the high spirits of the past, and he borrowed wine all day to kill his sorrows, and he was completely a wasted person.

Everyone in the court shook their heads secretly, they didn't expect Gu Jinzhen to be this kind of childlike person, for a woman, a dead woman is willing to waste his career, I really don't know if he should say that he is too affectionate, or is it indiscriminate?

The things that have been boiling in the capital have come to an end, no matter how decadent Gu Jinzhen is, if the Marquis Mansion of Zhenyuan withers again, and the people of the Gu family have to continue to mourn.

In a blink of an eye, it was time for the palace banquet.

This is also equivalent to an autumn banquet, but this year's autumn banquet is half a month earlier than in previous years, and you don't need to think about it to know that the emperor's purpose is not to see the decadent appearance of Gu Jinzhen and the people of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion?

Qiao Lixi has been buried for half a month, counting it, Gu Jinzhen has not returned to the Dingguo Marquis Mansion for two months, if he doesn't return to the mansion, how can the county lord of Nishang have the opportunity to have a round house with him?

How can he conceive his child?

Therefore, the emperor also wanted to take this opportunity to mention Gu Jinzhen a few words.

I have to say that the old emperor has been in high spirits recently, everything is going well, the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion has been hit one after another, and Gu Jinzhen's frustration of losing his beloved wife has made the old emperor very happy.

At the banquet, the singers and dancers took turns, and when the atmosphere of the banquet reached a high and high tide, the old emperor looked at Gu Jinzhen who was sitting in the audience with an excited face: "General Gu, everyone is happy, but you are the only one sitting here who is sullen, but you are dissatisfied with tonight's banquet?" ”

"I don't dare." Gu Jinzhen said respectfully.

"Don't dare? It's just that don't dare, it's not that it "The old emperor is starting to pick bones in the eggs.

Gu Jinzhen drew a mocking arc and said, "The emperor misunderstood the minister's meaning. ”

"Really?" The old emperor raised his eyebrows, "Then tell me, what do you mean?" ”

"What the minister means is that tonight's autumn banquet is grander than ever, although the minister has not participated in the autumn banquet, but I have heard my colleagues mention it, and my heart is extremely yearning, and I have got what I want today, which is really eye-opening."

Obviously insincere, but with perfunctory words but the old emperor couldn't find faults, if it was usual, the old emperor would have changed his face a long time ago, but now the old emperor is in a good mood, and his gaze at Gu Jinzhen even has a little smile, "Thanks to General Gu's guarding of southern Xinjiang over the years, we have been able to exchange for the health of our dynasty." General Gu's merits and hard work are remembered. During this time, General Gu had no time to enjoy his leisure time because of family work. In any case, the deceased are gone, and General Gu should cheer up and think more about the living. ”

"What the emperor said is that the minister plans to take a few days off and adjust his mentality."

"General Gu can think like this, I can rest assured, although Mrs. Gu's matter is your family matter, it is related to the safety of the dynasty, you are the general guarding southern Xinjiang, if you are restless and make a mistake in judgment, it will not only bring a crisis to southern Xinjiang, but also bring a crisis to the dynasty, which is more important, I believe General Gu can tell it clearly."

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, the minister will not forget his duty."

"With General Gu's words, I will rest assured," the old emperor said pretendedly, "Since you want to take a break, then I will give you half a month's vacation, this half a month, you can relax and arrange the 'Wutong Pavilion', no matter what, you can't live in the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion for a long time, although the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion is your grandfather's home, but you can't always have a home and not go back, right?" After the year, you and General Gu are going to southern Xinjiang again, and southern Xinjiang can't leave you, so you should take advantage of this time to get along with your family more. ”

This time, the compensation for the cession of land in southern Xinjiang has brought temporary stability between the imperial dynasty and southern Xinjiang, which can be prevented from happening, not that southern Xinjiang is willing to submit to the imperial dynasty and can be taken lightly.

The old emperor could tolerate Gu Jinzhen and Marquis Zhenyuan staying in the capital for so long, it was already his limit, and he would not leave the unsafe factors by his side.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, the minister will not delay his official affairs because of the minister's family affairs, and it is the minister's duty to guard the dynasty."

The old emperor thought that Gu Jinzhen was very good, and when he spoke again, his voice softened a little, "'Wutong Pavilion' is where you and Mrs. Gu live, in order to prevent you from seeing things and thinking about people, you will temporarily rest in the 'Nishang Courtyard', there are people around you, after a long time, you should forget what you should forget." “

"As the emperor said, the minister might as well go back to southern Xinjiang directly, so as not to see things and think about people."

The old emperor's face instantly turned bad, "General Gu is really in love, but what you are carrying is not only your personal feelings, but also your family responsibilities." If it is small, it is just a succession, and if it is big, it will involve the government and the Shen family. The future of the dynasty depends on you. ”

"The emperor is right, unfilial piety has three nos. What the minister is burdened with is not only the mission of the family, but also the mission of the country, what the emperor said, the minister will consider. The emperor also understands the importance of the Shen family's army, so the minister needs time on many issues. ”

"This doesn't affect General Gu from moving back to the Dingguo Marquis Mansion, right?" The old emperor asked aggressively.

"Back to the emperor, strictly speaking, it is very influential. The emperor is also aware of the relationship between the minister and the Hou Mansion, the minister is not in a good state now, if he is affected by other things, the minister is afraid that the problem will be greater. ”

"So, what does General Gu mean? Do you want the county lord to go to the Zhenyuan Marquis's Mansion? ”

It's not impossible, the county lord of Nishang is now also the granddaughter-in-law of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, and it is nothing to live in the Marquis of Zhenyuan's mansion, the key is Gu Jinzhen's attitude.

You can't go to the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion by yourself, right?

The reason why the old emperor is not angry with Gu Jinzhen now is because the current Gu Jinzhen is like a dying and struggling trapped beast, Nishang is now his only wife, no matter how many aunts Gu Jinzhen marries in the future, the son-in-law can only come out of the belly of the county lord of Nishang, so the old emperor is not in a hurry.

But the lord of Nishang is in a hurry.

Others don't know what happened to Qiao Lixi's corpse, she knows it.

Now that things are getting bigger, if the kidnappers directly get Qiao Lixi out, won't all her plans fall through?

The reason why the county lord has been worried about this problem is because the kidnappers have not let Qiao Lixi show up so far.

The more the other party is like this, the more unsteady she is.

She also guessed whether the kidnappers had not kidnapped Qiao Lixi, or Qiao Lixi was dead.

But no matter whether Qiao Lixi is dead or alive, those kidnappers will definitely test the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion and test Gu Jinzhen.

But until now, I haven't received any requests from the kidnappers, which is not right!

Now that Qiao Lixi has been "buried", if Qiao Lixi is not dead, the kidnappers will definitely push Qiao Lixi out, giving Gu Jinzhen hope and satisfying their own ambitions.

Unless......

Unless Qiao Yixi is really dead.

The kidnappers were worried that when they were tempted, stealing chickens would not make a fool of rice, so they didn't even have the heart to tempt.

The lord of Nishang picked up the wine glass in front of him and took a sip slowly.

The mellow aroma of wine satisfies the needs of her taste buds, and a pair of eyes full of lust stares at Gu Jinzhen for a moment.

"County Lord!" The palace maid who poured wine knelt on the ground in a panic.

The county lord lowered his eyes, looked at the soaked placket on his chest, and looked at the palace maid's phoenix eyes slightly tightened.

"Please forgive the county lord!" The little palace maid trembled.

Obviously, the county lord of Nishang is in a good mood today and has not bothered with the palace maid.

The maid beside her was the most observant, and hurriedly said, "County Lord, the slave will take you to change your clothes." ”

The county lord of Nishang slowly got up and walked out of the main hall first.

Her actions made several princesses very dissatisfied.

is just a county lord, and the pomp is bigger than that of these serious princesses, if it weren't for a good mother who stood on the right side when she won the heir, how could she have her current scenery?

Living in the palace since she was a child, the lord of Nishang is very familiar with this place, that is, those few cold palaces and places that are avoided by the palace people, she has also been driven by curiosity to explore many times, so she is not worried about being calculated, and took the maid directly to the side hall.

"County Lord." The maid changed her previous impatience, and her face was calm.

The county lord of Nishang was very satisfied with the alertness of the maids beside him, "You go over and take a look, let them act quickly." ”

The maid nodded and cautiously walked out of the side hall.

Where is the previous violence on the face of the county lord of Nishang, there is a charm between his eyebrows and eyes.
