141, the true face of the Ji family
Gu Ci knelt on the ground and didn't dare to move.
King Ping lifted her chin on tiptoe, his voice was cold, and said, "This king is going to have a banquet for officials of Phoenix City tonight, you should dress up and receive guests." β
Gu Ci raised her head suddenly, her hand shrunk in her sleeve, clenched tightly, and she didn't feel pain when her nails were pinched into the flesh.
Everyone said that she had a good life, the Gu family had declined, and she could still enter the palace as a side concubine, although King Ping could be her father, but she was the only one in the palace who could be a side concubine, and her mother also said that if she could give birth to King Ping's heir, she would be able to live a stable life.
But who would have thought that this high-grade side concubine was humiliated in this princess.
She bit her lip tightly, her trembling voice was full of bitterness, and she said cautiously, "Lord Wang, the concubine is not feeling well today, can you let other sisters go to ......?"
King Ping's disdainful expression was even more disdainful at the moment, he grabbed Gu Ci's collar, and his voice was gloomy and cold, "Do you think Princess Jin will help you?" Don't dream about this king, and pick me up well. β
Gu Ciyu held the last trace of hope and looked at King Ping, "Lord Wang, the concubine's body is really uncomfortable these days...... The little day is many days late...... It's about a joy ......."
Ping Wang's hand holding her collar, paused, loosened slightly, and in a blink of an eye, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and he ordered the entourage outside, "Go find a doctor and come over." β
Gu Ci held his abdomen tightly with his hands and shrank there, his eyes full of determination.
After a while, the entourage came in with the doctor, and after checking the pulse, the doctor bowed down and said hello to King Ping, "Congratulations to this master, Mrs. is happy." More than February. β
The doctor was accustomed to walking around the inner house, and seeing that King Ping had passed the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, he must have been very happy about the arrival of the heir, so he reported with a beaming face.
When King Ping heard that Gu Ci was really pregnant, his face suddenly sank, black as the bottom of a pot, he bowed his head to his entourage, and the entourage did not say a word, leading the doctor out.
The doctor was surprised, why did this old man be happy or unhappy with his wife, in the past, there were rich red envelopes stuffed at such times.
The attendant led the doctor to the side of the ear room and said, "Please ask this doctor to prescribe a pair of injurious pills." β
The doctor looked up at his entourage in disbelief, he swallowed all the words he wanted to ask, and said, "There is no fetal pill that does not hurt the body, this is to beat the essence and blood of a woman." How can you not hurt yourself? β
The attendant said with a fierce face, "Let you open, you will open, what are you talking about......"
The doctor was frightened by the entourage, and he prescribed a prescription without hesitation, and he didn't even dare to ask for the consultation fee, so he took his leave and left.
King Ping looked at Gu Ci and grabbed her when the doctor left, "Say, whose child is this?" During this time, this king did not let you receive guests. β
Gu Ci's eyes widened, and he lost his voice, "Lord Wang...... Concubinage...... This kid belongs to the prince......"
King Ping laughed and said, "This king's? Do you see that there are any heirs in the house? β
Gu Ci shook her head desperately and tried her best to explain, but King Ping seemed to not be able to hear it, and the hand around her neck became harder and harder.
Gu Ci, who was pinching, couldn't breathe, his feet kept kicking, and his eyes rolled white.
King Ping suddenly let go of his hand and threw her on the ground, "The origin of this evil seed, this king doesn't want to investigate, someone will send medicine over in a while, you drink it, rest for two days, and then do a good job for this king." β
With that, he walked out with his feet raised.
Gu Ci inhaled heavily, and she covered her abdomen.
On the face of her, she is a side concubine of the Ping Palace, but in private, she is the concubine of the palace, which is used to entertain the big and small officials that King Ping wants to woo.
King Ping is lustful, and most of the women who are accepted into the house are like her, and after being disgusted by King Ping, they became family concubines.
This child belongs to King Ping, but this person with a green hat on his head didn't dare to admit it, Gu Ci spat on the ground and slowly got up.
She slowly walked to the dresser, opened a box on the dresser, pulled out a piece of paper from the bottom, and unfolded it.
This is the evidence of King Ping's crime, she wanted to hide it well, but the most dangerous place is the safest.
What woman doesn't like to dress up, and she is full of jewelry that was once favored by King Ping.
She could recite every word on the letter, and she folded it and put it back.
There was a knock on the door, and Gu Ci said indifferently, "Come in." β
Two of King Ping's attendants pushed the door in, one with a steaming bowl of medicine in his hand.
Gu Ci remembered what King Ping said just now, send the medicine over, just now she only cared about inhaling and dying, but now when she thought about it, her face changed, she stood up and stepped back, "Take it out, take it out, I don't want to drink this medicine." β
The attendant with the medicine bowl walked over, "Niangniang, this is what the prince ordered, please don't embarrass the little one." β
He glanced at his partner who followed up with him on the side, and another attendant stepped forward and grabbed Gu Ci, Gu Ci struggled desperately, and the man's hand, like an iron tong, grabbed Gu Ci's hand tightly and pinched her mouth.
Another attendant poured the medicine into Gu Ci's mouth.
Gu Ci shook his head, his tongue desperately pressed against the pouring of the medicinal soup, and the medicinal soup flowed out of both sides of his mouth inappropriately.
The entourage who poured the medicine said gloomily, "The side concubine doesn't need to resist, the prince said, one pair is not enough, and then boil another." β
Tears silently slipped from the corners of Gu Ci's eyes and disappeared into her ears, she was still too naΓ―ve.
She thought that King Ping would let her go for the sake of her having children, but she didn't expect it......
When she came out of the Jin Palace, she used the official excuse to go to a hospital closest to the place where King Ping was temporarily staying.
She used the generous consultation fee to buy off the doctor there and asked him to help her lie that she was more than two months pregnant.
Although the medicine flowed a lot, it still entered Gu Ci's abdomen a lot, Gu Ci only felt that the pain in his stomach was getting stronger and stronger, obviously there was nothing in his stomach, but why was it still so painful?
Gu Ci watched the more and more blood in his lower body, and screamed......

The eldest princess of the protector came from afar, so naturally she will not leave for the time being.
And Gu Nian is very grateful for her grandmother's love, and her words to the eldest princess of the country are simply obedient, as the months get bigger and bigger, all kinds of symptoms of the body come out, and sometimes her temper cannot be controlled, but as long as it is what the princess and Gu Shi'an say, she will obey everything.
This made Xiao Yue, who was already jealous of her and Gu Shi'an, who was too close, even more jealous.
"You're so well-behaved, not so well-behaved in front of me." Xiao Yue hugged her and gnawed between her necks, trying her best.
Gu Nian was tickled, couldn't help but want to laugh, wanted to push him away, looked at his aggrieved appearance, and couldn't help laughing and scolding, "If you want my grandmother, if I have a father, I will listen to you." β
"I don't want to be your elder...... Xiao Yue said vaguely, and the kiss was so wet that it went down her neck...... Then he pulled the rope from his belly pocket and took a 'uh-woo' bite......
He muttered as he took a cherry in his mouth, "It looks like it's getting bigger......"
It used to be a steamed bun, but now it's a big steamed bun......
Gu Nian pushed him, but he ignored it, kept going down, and put his ear on her high belly.
"It's ugly......" Gu Nian was embarrassed to let him see himself like this.
But he didn't care, and said, "What's ugly?" You're the most beautiful, I don't believe you......" He grabbed her by the hand and headed somewhere to move.
Gu Nian, "......"
Since she was five months pregnant, she felt that she had become ugly, although she still looked very slender at the back, but her face gradually deteriorated, and there were spots on her face, and her legs and feet were a little swollen, and her movements became more and more clumsy.
Every morning when she freshens up, she feels a little miserable when she sees herself in the mirror.
However, when the eldest princess of the protector saw her like this, she was so happy that she said to Mama Lin beside her, "It seems that I have a great-grandson to hug." β
Both of them must say that this baby will be a boy, and that when the woman is happy, it will be a boy.
Gu Nian felt that he had become so ugly, and he was still so sexually interested, he could only say that his eyes were either covered by eye feces, or he really loved her and loved her more and more crazy.
Xiao Yue didn't know Gu Niande's thoughts, he really didn't think Gu Niande had become ugly, he just wished that the little thing in her stomach fell to the ground, he was looking forward to the child, but in the same way, he valued Gu Nian's safety more.
What he did every night was to hold her in his arms and flip her hands up and down, so that not only did he know very much about the changes in her body, but he could also feel that her belly was changing little by little under his attention.
Anyway, she showed him the ugliest appearance, and Gu Nian was left to him, but Gu Nian was relieved, but after Mama Qin arrived in southern Xinjiang, she found that Xiao Yue crawled Gu Niande's bed every day, and she really couldn't say what she felt in her heart.
Fortunately, the princess of the protector also came, and finally an elder could talk about it.
So, Mama Qin mentioned this matter to the eldest princess after she came.
"Really?" The Protector Princess asked in surprise.
"Yes, Astragalus said it has always been like this." Mama Qin was very worried, "Since I arrived in southern Xinjiang, as long as the son is at home, he has shared the same bed and has never slept separately." β
She sighed in her heart, it's not that she hasn't seen a husband and wife who have a good relationship and don't want to separate, but after the wife is pregnant, if the husband doesn't want to sleep in a separate room, he also sets up a couch in the house, where is it like this couple......
The prince is a good age, so she can't help but worry that if the prince is not determined enough and can't restrain himself, the two of them will have sex together, and if they move bigger, it will not be good for the princess to have a child in her belly. What should I do if I get hurt?
The eldest princess of the protector was thoughtful, and saw that Mama Qin was wrinkling her face and looking at herself, so she waved her hand and said with a smile, "Yue'er is measured, don't worry about it." β
When Mama Qin heard this, her face was even more wrinkled, how could she forget that when Her Royal Highness the princess was pregnant in the past, the horses did not sleep separately.
The eldest princess of the protector comforted Mama Qin and sent her away, ignoring the affairs of her granddaughter's room.
The relationship between the two husbands and wives is good, she can't be happy, and although Xiao Yue looks gloomy on the outside, she has nothing to say about Niannian.
Since interrogating Manager Lu and several people in the mansion who were in charge of him in cahoots, Xiao Yue and Gu Nian discussed that the officials in Phoenix City should be handed off and replaced with people they trusted, and at the same time, those fields, if they were bought by illegal means, would be returned to the original owner.
If the palace itself has it, it is still rented to those tenants, but the rent is exempted for three years, and after three years, the rent is the same as everyone else.
As for the original IOUs that owed the rent to the palace, Xiao Yue gathered the people together, and in front of all the tenant farmers and officials, he burned the IOUs full of boxes and IOUs.
And let the king's people ring the gong for three days in a row, shouting all over the Phoenix City.
"I didn't expect that King Jin was a ...... who could go out open-mindedly," said King Ping and a person opposite him in a teahouse in Phoenix.
The man on the other side put down the teacup in his hand, stroked his beard with one hand, and sighed, "It's a pity that it's so good to make a move." β
*
In the capital, the Jin Palace, the old lady received the letter sent back by Xiao Yue, after reading it, her eyes were black for a while, and she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time, she grabbed the armrest of the chair tightly, so that she didn't faint.
The grandmother beside her hurriedly stepped forward and hurriedly supported the old lady's body, with a caring face, "Anger is easy to hurt, and now the house depends on you to support it." β
She grabbed the old grandmother beside her tightly and asked, "What is the name of the grandmother who served by Ji's side?" Where is she now? β
The old lady hurriedly stepped forward, "The concubine has the surname of the grandmother Tian, and now she is locked up by the prince." β
"Bring her to Rong'an Hall. There is also Ji's, let her tie her up and get her here. β
The old lady was afraid that she would faint, so she didn't dare to go far, so she opened the curtain and told the maid below to hurry up.
The old lady was so angry that she trembled, she didn't expect that this woman from the Ji family would dare to ruin the reputation of the palace like this, how many generations of people have piled up the bones of this palace to become so splendid and prosperous today.
She had a husband and a son, and she died on the battlefield, and she was a widow for half her life.
Half an hour later, Ji and her grandmother were escorted to Rong'an Hall.
Ji is still so crazy, the old lady slapped the table, Ji just hugged a pillow, and kept saying, "I have a child, my child, don't be afraid, my mother is here ......"
The old lady snorted coldly, "Ji, you don't have to pretend, you're not crazy at all, you tried to escape punishment by pretending to be crazy once or twice, this time, the old woman won't let you escape like this again." β
As if he hadn't heard it, Ji's eyelids didn't move.
The old lady said lightly, "Do you think that if you don't speak, the old woman can't do anything to you?" What you did in southern Xinjiang, Yue'er has already told me, do you still want to live such a comfortable life in the past? β
She instructed the old lady, "Go and call in the guard that Yue'er sent back to deliver the letter, I have something to tell him." β
Ji's mouth kept saying, "My child, my child......" It's just that the hand holding the small pillow tightened imperceptibly.
The one who was sent back by Xiao Yue to deliver the letter was the secret guard who was injured and survived that day, Dark Thirteen, because he was injured that day, after being rescued, because his face was exposed in front of everyone, he could no longer be a secret guard, so Xiao Yue simply turned him to the bright side.
After he greeted the old lady, the old lady instructed, "You take your people to the main courtyard, dig three feet into the ground, and find something for me." β
The old lady didn't say what it was, but Dark Thirteen knew, so he bowed down and went out.
When Ji saw her go out, he also followed the steps, and suddenly said in a terrible voice, "My child, my mother is wrong, ......" said while going crazy to go outside.
Two sturdy mothers-in-law flashed at the door, blocking the door.
Ji couldn't help but take two steps back.
The old lady sat on the kang, did not move, took the teacup, took a sip, and said slowly, "Don't pretend, you are more sober than anyone else." β
She didn't dare whether Ji Shi had an answer, but turned to Mama Tian, who was tied up on the side.
"Your master is crazy, some things may not be remembered very clearly, but you are not crazy, I think you should still remember those things."
Mama Tian didn't know why the old lady asked this, she was scared during this time, but she still shook her head and said, "I don't know, I don't know anything, old lady." β
The old lady said, "If you know whether you know the first trial, it will be clear, don't be afraid of pain, the punishment is like this, and it will be over if you endure it." β
With that, she was splinted.
Mama Tian always thought that the old lady was the kindest person, after all, she had eaten fasting and recited Buddha in Wutai Mountain, and for so many years, she must have been like a bodhisattva.
She said, "Old lady, you are a living Bodhisattva, the slave knows it, and I told the prince that day, and I really didn't hide it at all." β
"You can't set up a torture altar like this, you are disregarding human life."
The old lady smiled, her smile full of mockery, "Did you really say everything?" The reason why I left you alive is because you didn't finish speaking, I wanted to give you a chance, but for so long, you didn't know how to repent. β
Saying that, she gave the old grandmother Su Mama who was waiting for her a look, Su Mama understood, looking at the two executed mothers-in-law, the mother-in-law was forced, and Mama Tian's screams pierced through the sky and stabbed directly into Ji's heart.
Mama Tian was tortured, crying heartbreakingly, seeing that the old lady was unmoved, and kept asking her subordinates to clamp her hand hard, she could beg,
"Concubine, girl, save me...... Help me...... You can't die without help......"
Ji Shi watched Mama Tian being tortured and did not move.
Seeing that Ji's family didn't move, Mama Tian screamed miserably, and said, "Girl, the nurse raised you, there is no credit and hard work, you know that the prince recognized the wrong person that day, but you still have to pretend, who will help you cover it up?" β
"You have been in contact with people outside the house for so many years, who helped you cover it up? It's all the nurse, girl, save the nurse. β
Ji Shi clutched the small pillow in his hand and suddenly 'giggled'.
The old lady glanced at Ji Shi coldly and said, "Who is the master behind you?" If you say it now, you can still have a good end, but what if...... Hum. β
Ji Shi suddenly raised his head and looked at the old lady with sharp eyes, "I'm not crazy, so what?" If I don't pretend to be crazy, can I still live? Perhaps, the bones are rotten now. β
The corners of her mouth curled, "Are you going to settle accounts with me today?" Can you rely on you old thing to settle accounts with me? Even if Xiao Yue's evil seed comes back, I'm not afraid. It's a big deal to die, it depends on whether Xiao Yue dares to carry the reputation of his dying mother. β
"Really? So let's give it a try? I saw Xiao Yue striding in from outside the door, dressed in dark clothes, wearing a black cloak, under the hood, his face was full of wind and dust, but his eyes were extremely bright.
Dark Thirteen came over one post station after another, and Xiao Yue agreed with Gu Shi'an after he left, letting Zhang Chunzi dress up as him and sit in southern Xinjiang, while he traveled under the stars and rushed back to the capital from southern Xinjiang.
The old lady sat on the kang and breathed a sigh of relief, and when Ji saw Xiao Yue, her eyes were full of horror and fear.
Xiao Yue walked to the old lady's side, said hello to the old lady, and then said lightly, "I advise you, don't be delusional anymore, you will explain today, and if you don't explain, you will also explain."
Who is the person behind you, in fact, I have already guessed a thing or two. β
No, it can't be, Ji Shi buzzed in his head, Xiao Yue couldn't know who the person behind her was.
"You don't want to lie to me." Ji's eyes widened and he screamed, "My master, you can't know whose it is, he is so powerful. β
Ji Shi said these words back and forth several times like a demon.
Xiao Yue took off the cloak on his body and slowly walked to her side, Leng An looked at the almost crazy Ji family, and asked coldly, "Do you not believe that I know who your master is, or do you not believe that you have been given up as an outcast now?" β
When Ji Shi heard this, he glared at each other angrily, "You are simply a ruthless, unrighteous and heartless monster. β
Xiao Yue tugged at the corners of his mouth and responded sarcastically, "I am your own child, ruthless, unrighteous and heartless, so naturally I inherited it from you." β
In fact, the mother and son have already torn their faces, not to mention, now that all the secrets have been exposed, there is no need to hide them anymore.
Ji Shi also showed his face, his face was hideous and distorted, "No matter what, I am also your mother, Xiao Yue, you are out of my belly, this fact will never change, I am notorious, and you can't please me." β
"If you push me urgently, I will fight for my life, and I will not let you have a good time"
"When you commit suicide and die, you will have a bad reputation for forcing your biological mother to death, and you will have to keep filial piety for me for three years, and at that time, you will be allocated, how can you please in front of the emperor? Want to be glorious again? Dream on. β
Xiao Yue smiled coldly, "If you want to die, just die, you do a lot of evil, no one will shed a tear for you, look at your grandmother, screaming so sadly, but you are indifferent, she is the person who accompanies you the most in this world, but you can still ignore it."
I hated you before, and now I only think you are pitiful, pathetic, and even more hateful! When you get to the Yellow Spring, you can probably only be a lonely ghost, but don't complain......
It's just that, before you die, you can tell all the secrets you know. β
Ji Shi seemed to be like a charred cat, jumping up and about to slap Xiao Yue, but Xiao Yue grabbed the hand she waved.
Xiao Yue's hand was so strong that he almost strangled her wrist.
"You disobedient and unfilial thing! Let go! β
Ji Shi breathed heavily, his eyes were red, and he scolded, "I really regret giving birth to you back then." β
Xiao Yue didn't even move his brows, his voice was like ice, seeping into Ji's ears, "You honestly tell me everything you know, don't let me do it." β
"If you insist on seeking death, no one will stop you, but I just took some effort to investigate, and there will be no impermeable walls in this world."
After speaking, Xiao Yue let go of his hand, Ji Shi collapsed weakly on the ground, and shouted with all his might, "You treat your own mother like this, what kind of face will you have to see your father in the future?" β
Xiao Yue was stunned, and he said coldly, "My father? Heh......"
He turned around and walked towards Mama Tian, "I spared your life that day, I hope you can repent, I don't know what you think?" What else wasn't said that day? β
Mama Tian couldn't hold it anymore, and shouted in a hoarse voice, "Prince, I said, I said, before the concubine met the prince, she had already seen the portrait of the prince, and the encounter with the prince was all arranged." β
"You traitor......"
Ji roared with all his strength, his eyes so wide that he could breathe fire.
Her nails rushed over with the hysterical sound, choking Mama Tian's neck, seeing that Mama Tian was about to faint, Xiao Yue picked up Ji's and threw it aside.
Mama Tian still had a splint on her hands, got up and looked at Ji, and said, "I have been careful for decades, and I haven't even recovered a deed of sale, why don't I say it." β
She looked at Ji Shi resentfully and said, "On that day, why did the prince die outside, wasn't it because you stole the prince's letter and passed it on to the people outside?" β
