Gu Huanyi asked quietly, "Why doesn't the emperor agree to our marriage?" ”

Regarding the emperor's thoughts, Li Congxin is clear.

The Gu family was destroyed because of the prince, although the prince paid for his crime with his life, but the emperor was worried that Gu Huanyi would bear such a heavy hatred and would have a rebellious heart.

Regardless of whether Li Congxin is the crown prince or not, he is a person who is valued by the emperor, and the emperor cannot tolerate the hatred of the people next to him towards the royal family.

But Li Congxin couldn't tell Gu Huanyi this reason, worried that she would have a greater estrangement from the emperor, so he could only change his way of saying it, and said: "The emperor hopes that I can find a marriage that will benefit the government and politics, so that I can balance the concubine's mother family and the virtuous king, and jointly assist the little prince to inherit the great cause." ”

Gu Huanyi sighed secretly in her heart, the emperor really felt that she was unworthy.

Li Congxin hugged her and said, "I will let the emperor know that you are the most suitable wife for me, and I will also let the emperor know that I will not marry you." ”

Gu Huanyi leaned on his shoulder, his heart was warm. At the same time, I also felt a little emotional, how could I live up to his deep affection for him......

Although Gu Huanyi's arrow wound was not serious, she was asked by Li Congxin to recuperate, and she had to reduce her going out before Lin Youhai was arrested, so she could only discuss with the housekeepers and housekeepers at home about returning to her hometown to worship her ancestors in March.

And in this matter, the side branch of the Gu family of Liangzhou Renyifang sent someone to Beijing to visit her.

When I went back to Liangzhou, I always wanted to see these people, so Gu Huanyi let people in.

The person who came was called Gu Jian, and after the fall of Gu Hui, he became the head of Renyi Fang.

"Miss, we all know that Gu Hui's dog thing hurt Miss's heart, you have anger and resentment in your heart, we all understand, but we are a family after all, broken bones and tendons. General Gu is a martyr of our Gu clan and deserves to be worshiped by future generations. Last year, due to the emperor's royal drive, the clan was unable to enter the ancestral hall to pay respects, and this year, please let the young lady approve our request. ”

Gu Huanyi didn't answer immediately, she slowly and methodically stirred the tea leaves in the tea cup, making Gu Jian break out in a cold sweat in the winter.

"I'm not a lover."

Gu Huanyi finally spoke, and Gu Jian breathed a sigh of relief.

Listening to Gu Huanyi continue: "Gu Hui was imprisoned for committing a crime, and I can't care about him anymore, but his family must be removed from the family tree, and I definitely can't be a relative with the enemy who killed my mother." ”

"It's nature!" Gu Jian said: "We have already opened the ancestral hall and expelled their family. ”

"And." Gu Huanyi said: "The clan elders who supported Gu Hui to oppress me and wanted to take away my family property are no longer allowed to be in charge of the clan. ”

Gu Jian was a little hesitant.

The clan elder has been operating in the clan for many years, and it is not that he can do it by stepping down.

Gu Huanyi was not embarrassed by him, and said: "I naturally know that this matter is not easy, but since Renyifang still wants to gain a foothold with the reputation of the Marquis of Yiyong, I can't allow the people who bullied and despised us at the beginning to take advantage of it again." Benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, filial piety, loyalty, righteousness and shame, this is what my father often taught me, and those clan elders don't even understand this, and they will definitely repeat the mistakes of the past in the future. If you commit to this, I will let my people wish you a helping hand, and you will not be left alone. ”

It has been almost two years since the accident of the Gu family.

In the past two years, the status of the Gu family in Liangzhou can be described as a decline in the mountains and rivers, which cannot be said to be the same.

Gu Hui was angry with Mrs. Gu and the Gu family for snatching the orphan girl's property, and everyone in Liangzhou knew about it.

As much as the people revere the righteous and brave marquis, they will spurn them, the people of the other tribes.

Gu Jian knew that if he wanted to save the reputation of the Hui clan, he had to get Gu Huanyi's support, not to mention that the clan had no general's mansion to rely on, and his livelihood was becoming increasingly difficult.

At this time, since Gu Huanyi was willing to promise him, Gu Jian didn't dare to ask for more, and agreed: "People who are unscrupulous and treacherous are naturally not worthy of managing clan affairs, and after I return to Liangzhou, I will find a way to do it and give the eldest lady an explanation." ”

After Gu Huanyi finished talking with Gu Jian, he sent Song Ping to go back to Liangzhou with him in person to sort out all the things in Renyifang.

In mid-February, the shopkeeper of Jinsang Clothing Weaving sent a message saying that the men's ready-to-wear customized by Fangfu had been ready, and he would send it over tomorrow, and Fang Yurong's maid might go out to deliver clothes in the next few days.

Gu Huanyi relayed the news to Li Congxin, and Li Congxin began to act.

This time, he did not arrange for anyone to arrest Lin Youhai, but personally led people to do it.

On the one hand, through the clues provided by Yang Xin, he found out several masters arranged by Li Chengxu in the capital, and sent people to keep an eye on these masters, so that Li Chengxu could no longer interfere in this matter, and on the other hand, he sent people to keep an eye on the surroundings of Fang Mansion and stand by at any time.

Sure enough, on the night of receiving the clothes, Fang Yurong's maid left the house alone and quietly walked to a gambling house in the market.

Gu Huanyi was nervously waiting for news at home.

She had been recuperating for more than ten days and was already able to get out of bed.

She paced around the room uneasily, talking to Liu Pei, who was protecting her.

"Uncle Liu, you are strong in martial arts, you should go to help the prince, and I won't have anything to do at home."

Liu Pei comforted: "The prince still has someone to use, you don't have to worry." Since your last accident, the prince will never let you have anyone around you to protect you anymore. You are good, so that the son of the world can do things with peace of mind outside. ”

Gu Huanyi bowed his head, so he had to wait patiently.

It wasn't until midnight that Li Congxin finally returned.

Since he entered the house, Gu Huanyi first looked around Li Congxin.

His clothes were clean and unharmed.

Gu Huanyi breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the person is okay, it doesn't matter if he is caught or not.

Li Congxin was in a rare good mood since the Shangyuan Festival, raised his eyebrows and asked: "Catch a fish that slipped through the net, are you still afraid that I will be injured?" ”

Gu Huanyi said: "You went in the middle of the night, it can be seen that things are not going well, can I not worry?" ”

Li Congxin shook his head and said, "It's very smooth, Lin Youhai has been caught." I handed him over to Dali Temple, fearing that he would be persecuted in prison, and went to make some arrangements, but it was too late. ”

Although Li Congxin had the heart to kill Lin Youhai, he still decided to arrest Lin Youhai and bring him to justice.

Lin Youhai is an exiled sinner, cheated his death and escaped, the crime is added to the first degree, and he is caught and handed over to Dali Temple, so that he can not get out of prison for the rest of his life.

Moreover, Li Congxin also planned to check him again, even if he couldn't find out about the Xianwang Mansion, he could find out the squalor of the Fang family, so he wouldn't kill people, but he was afraid that someone would kill Lin Youhai in prison.

Gu Huanyi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I finally caught him." ”

Li Congxin said: "I should say this, if I don't catch him, how can I let you go back to Liangzhou with peace of mind?" You're not in front of me, and I can't feel at ease for a moment. ”

Gu Huanyi smiled: "Where did I let you worry so much?" Don't worry, I will listen to you, let Uncle Liu protect me every step of the way, and I will also listen to Mama Miao's words, eat and sleep well every day, and when I come back in April, I will keep a lot of hair. ”

Li Congxin said with satisfaction: "This is what you said yourself, I will settle accounts with you if you have a little less meat or two." ”

As he spoke, he picked her up and weighed her weight, which caused Gu Huanyi to exclaim.
