Chapter 16: Doomed
The prophecy letter received by the Gu family was quietly sent by Li Congxin after he was reborn.
At that time, he had not been reborn for a long time, and he did not have much power in the army.
The big war was imminent, and he couldn't change the situation of the battle, so he had to take risks and remind General Gu in this way.
But unfortunately, his life was not saved.
If this letter was now in Gu Huanyi's hands, would she believe it?
What will she do if she knows what will happen to her future? Where will her fate go?
Will you be an ordinary person and live a peaceful life as you hope?
Li Congxin rubbed his eyebrows, slightly uneasy in his heart, he still couldn't be completely relieved if he didn't put people in front of his eyes.
In autumn, the most important festival is the Mid-Autumn Festival.
But this festival is a bit cruel to Gu Huanyi.
Mama Miao discussed with Song An that she must not mention the Mid-Autumn Festival in front of the young lady to make her sad, but Gu Huanyi remembered it herself.
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, she ordered the kitchen to prepare food and drinks, and went to the graves of her parents and brother.
The graves of her parents and brother have not yet been erected, and it is no longer her own family affair that the people of the Ministry of Rites want to rebuild the mausoleum according to the funeral rites of the marquis.
She sat at the grave and didn't know what to say to her parents.
Reassure them that she will live well alone?
Her parents loved her so much when she was alive, no matter what she said, they couldn't feel at ease.
Tell them that life is difficult, and she wants to keep the family's property, which she finds very difficult?
This only makes them more uneasy.
said that Gu Jiajun was posthumously crowned by the emperor, and the heroes and martyrs could be blinded?
But if the death of the Gu family army is really framed by someone, and the revenge has not been avenged, why should he turn a blind eye?
She poured herself wine, and drank it alone, as if she were thinking alone in the middle of the night, without saying a word.
In the past six months, she has learned to drink.
When she dreams back in the middle of the night, she thinks of her lost loved ones and the future she has to face alone, and she can only fall asleep after two drinks.
In the past, she had to hide from her uncle and pretend that everything was fine in front of her uncle, but today, she can finally indulge herself in a drink!
I don't know how long I sat there, and suddenly a light rain fell from the sky.
Mama Miao carried her home half drunk.
When boarding the bus at the gate of the Gu Cemetery, in the gloomy and hazy drizzle, a figure swayed in front of Gu Huanyi.
She softened on her feet, fell into the carriage, and murmured, "Mama, I'm really drunk, I seem to see ...... See him......"
Mama Miao helped her to sit upright, thinking that she missed the old lady, and persuaded: "Today's holiday, maybe the old lady is back to see you." ”
When the drunkenness came, Gu Huanyi's head couldn't turn, and he fell asleep in a daze.
slept until the next morning, Gu Huanyi sat at the head of the bed with the quilt in his arms, faintly feeling that he had forgotten something important, but he couldn't remember it after thinking about it for a long time.
Seeing her get up, Mama Miao urged with a smile: "Miss, you are finally awake!" The prince of Ming sent someone to the house, he came yesterday, and he has been waiting to see you! ”
Gu Huanyi's heart was lifted high, he hurriedly got dressed, and asked, "What are you doing?" ”
Mama Miao said happily: "Come to send the Mid-Autumn Festival gift!" ”
The person who came was a middle-aged man, Gu Huanyi didn't know him, he reported his family and said that his surname was Liu, and he was on an errand under Shizi, and he was ordered to come to send the Mid-Autumn Festival gift.
Liu Pei sent a standard 16 Mid-Autumn Festival pastries.
Gu Huanyi suppressed his excitement and asked, "Did the prince have anything else to say?" ”
Liu Pei shook his head and said, "Nothing else." ”
Gu Huanyi's excitement calmed down a little, thought for a while, and said, "Please wait a moment, Uncle Liu, wait for me to write a reply, and ask you to help me transfer it to the prince." ”
Mama Miao took Liu Pei down to rest, and Gu Huanyi pinched the brush and thought about how to put down the pen.
Ask him why he didn't say goodbye, ask him why he gave himself a gift?
It's too strange to write this, and it's so childish that she can't even look down on it herself.
After thinking about it, she decided to thank Li Congxin for his help, after all, Gu Jiajun was posthumously awarded by the Holy Lord, and he was able to retrieve the corpses of his father and brother from Beiyi, Li Congxin must have spent a lot of effort in the middle, this is a great favor, and he must be thanked.
After handing over the letter to Liu Pei, Liu Pei refused to stay longer, and left for Beijing on the same day.
Mama Miao sent the person away with a smile and said, "In the past six months, there has been no news from the son, and I still think he is a negative person." Now it seems that I have thought too much about the old slave. ”
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, relatives will give gifts, if the man who is not related to the woman gives a gift, it is most likely engaged or in the family of the family.
The prince of Ming sent someone to send a gift at this time, so it is no wonder that Mama Miao thought about it more.
This sentence reminded Gu Huanyi.
Could it be that he sent someone to give gifts to help him continue the scandal?
Thinking about it, it seems that there is only this explanation.
If it's just a show...... Gu Huanyi's heart instantly cooled in half.
A few days after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhuo Ding, an official of the Ministry of Rites responsible for the construction of the Yiyong Temple, visited Gu Huanyi and said that the emperor would personally come to the Yiyong Temple to pay tribute to the heroic soul on the first anniversary of his death.
Gu Huanyi, as the only orphan of Jiangmen, is to participate in the funeral sacrifice and accept the condolences of the saint.
The emperor's trip is a major event for the whole country, although there is still half a year, but it is enough to keep the officials of Liangzhou and the Ministry of Rites busy.
Gu Huanyi said tentatively: "Although we are negotiating peace with Beiyi, but in the border area of Liangzhou, there are always bandits and bravers, and the saint personally came to pay respects, which is a bit risky, and the little girl is really afraid." ”
Lord Zhuo said: "Miss Gu doesn't have to worry, this matter is very concerned by the whole government, not only ordered the Donglin Army to strengthen the border patrol, but also sent the prince to supervise it in person." ”
Gu Huanyi suddenly remembered the figure he saw in the rain outside the cemetery.
It turned out that it wasn't her drunken dazzle!
Gu Huanyi couldn't sit still a little and asked, "I don't know if the adult can recommend me to meet the prince?" ”
She didn't know if Li Congxin would see her, she should be, otherwise why would he go to the cemetery to peek at herself? And why do you want to give Mid-Autumn Festival gifts?
Gu Huanyi was extremely conflicted in his heart, and he only hoped that he would not be sentimental again.
Lord Zhuo didn't dare to call the shots, but thinking that Gu Huanyi, as the orphan of the Marquis of Yiyong, would participate in the funeral ceremony in the future, in order to show the mercy of the saints, the prince should not refuse to see her, so he said: "I can take the young lady to the official office for introduction, but if the prince is not available, the official can't do it." ”
Gu Huanyi hurriedly thanked him, and after cleaning up a little, he went to the Taoist Office with Lord Zhuo.
Liangzhou Mansion Yin specially vacated a courtyard of the official office for the use of officials from the imperial capital, and after Gu Huanyi passed it through, he got a reply that the prince wanted to meet her.
She took a few deep breaths, calmed down, and walked into the official office with Master Zhuo.
There are several men in the room, and the man in the middle is wearing a dark blue python suit and a jade belt around his waist.
And to his left and right, in addition to a sword guard and an official in official uniform, there are also two white-faced fathers-in-law.
But this person is not Li Congxin.
Lord Zhuo was stunned when he saw Gu Huanyi, and said, "Miss Gu, don't you want to ask to see the prince?" This is the son of the virtuous king who is in charge of the funeral ceremony of the Righteous and Brave Temple. ”
Gu Huanyi's head exploded.
She was mistaken!
