Chapter Seventy-Five: False Alarm
The queen mother re-announced that the palace people would enter the palace to serve, and the tea and snacks were also served, and she began to ask Gu Huanyi about her life in the capital and many things about the aftermath of the Gu family in Liangzhou.
Gu Huanyi answered one by one.
After the queen asked about the situation, she said: "From the heart, there are twenty and two this year, and you should have married a wife a long time ago, and when the case of Dali Temple is closed this time, the palace will persuade the emperor to handle your happy event." ”
With the queen's personal consent, Gu Huanyi was very happy and immediately went to the palace to bow down and thank you.
When he was kowtowing, there was a sound of footsteps outside the palace gate, and Li Congxin followed behind the palace people who were passing the words and came in together.
He hurried over, and when he saw Gu Huanyi kneeling in the main hall, his face became even worse.
He stepped forward and knelt down with Gu Huanyi and said, "Queen Mother, it is Weichen who is bent on marrying Miss Gu, no matter what concerns you and the emperor have, the fault lies with me, please don't blame her." ”
The queen's face was full of astonishment, and Gu Huanyi also looked at her in surprise.
"The Prince...... Aren't you locked up in Dali Temple? How did it come? Gu Huanyi asked.
Li Congxin was not in the mood to explain this to her, but looked at the queen.
The queen sighed and said to Gu Huanyi: "Get up quickly, thank you for the gift, otherwise if you kneel down again, the notoriety of this palace will spread outside the palace." ”
When Li Congxin heard the word "thank you", his face turned red, knowing that he had misunderstood.
Gu Huanyi didn't get up, and whispered to Li Congxin on the side: "You misunderstood the queen mother, apologize quickly." ”
Li Congxin bowed in embarrassment and said, "Weichen was waiting for Miss Gu outside the palace, and when he saw that she hadn't come out for a long time, he thought something had happened. It's me who blames the queen for it, please punish the mother. ”
The queen said: "Get up, I know that you feel sorry for people, and I don't blame you." ”
After the two got up and sat down, the queen also asked Li Congxin: "Why did Dali Temple let you out?" ”
Li Congxin said: "The father and daughter of the Qi family retracted their confessions, and Hongye let me out." ”
Gu Huanyi was overjoyed and asked, "Qi Zhilan is finally willing to tell the truth?" ”
Li Congxin shook his head and said, "It's Qi Yue, he recruited it." ”
Qi Yue knew that Li Chengxu never left a living mouth, and originally gritted his teeth and didn't make a move, because he wanted to bargain with Li Chengxu and save the lives of his wife and children.
But after he heard that Qi Zhilan was imprisoned pending trial for reporting Li Congxin, he knew that no matter whether he recruited or not, after this incident, his wife and daughter would be killed.
He no longer had any worries or thoughts, so he recruited all of them.
When Li Congxin came out of Dali Temple, he went to Gu Mansion to find Gu Huanyi as soon as possible, and when he heard that she had entered the palace, he came to the palace to look for her.
He met Mrs. Fenhou at the gate of the palace, and Sixi, who came anxiously to report the news, and thought that Gu Huanyi was reprimanded by the queen, so he hurried to the rescue.
Seeing that he had cleared his suspicion, the queen said: "The palace was worried that you would not be able to catch up with the little prince's full moon ceremony, since you have nothing to do, go and discuss with your father and ask him to take advantage of the full moon ceremony to enter Beijing to propose marriage!" ”
Li Congxin thanked him again and again, and went out of the palace with Gu Huanyi.
Walking on the way out of the palace, Gu Huanyi felt happy in his heart, and couldn't help but smile: "It's rare to see the panicked side of the prince, it can be seen that I still have a lot of weight in your heart." ”
Li Congxin said: "It's all to blame Sixi for spreading the news indiscriminately, saying that after the queen summoned you, her face was unprecedentedly ugly, and she locked you in the palace alone, what should you do." I have been in the capital for several years, and I have never seen the queen get angry, and hearing Sixi say this, it really scared me. ”
Gu Huanyi covered her mouth and smiled, and briefly said that the queen mother had tested her.
Li Congxin saw that she already knew the concerns of the emperor and queen, so she explained her and said: "The prince has harmed your family, and the emperor, as a monarch's father, is very guilty and weak-hearted, so he has this worry." ”
Gu Huanyi nodded, when she just learned the truth in the early morning of the funeral day, she was indeed angry with the emperor.
But gradually, as the matter investigated, she also figured out that she should hate the initiator.
Thinking of this, Gu Huanyi asked: "This time the evidence is conclusive, can Li Chengxu be convicted?" ”
Li Congxin said: "At present, there are only two empirical evidences, one is that Li Chengxu lured the prince to take Hanbing San, and the other is that Li Chengxu used the horse gang to spread rumors about the war. These two crimes are enough to deal with Li Chengxu, but they still can't move King Xian. ”
Gu Huanyi asked: "What about blowing up the Tianhu Dam?" ”
Li Congxin shook his head: "Neither Qi Yue nor Qi Da Boss was involved in this matter, and they did not ask for details. Although the Xiong Jun note confessed by Qi Zhilan mentions this matter, it is accused of me, and it has been ascertained that the handbook is forged and cannot be counted. ”
was a little disappointed, but this was also expected by Gu Huanyi.
After the two left the palace together, Gu Huanyi carefully looked at Li Congxin in the carriage to see if he had suffered in Dali Temple.
Li Congxin took a trip to Dali Temple, and Gu Huanyi was distressed.
Although I know that he has already made arrangements, who wants to go to which kind of place is good?
In the past half a month, in order to make the people around her feel at ease, she has been pretending to be calm and calm, and she can only let herself show her emotions when she has insomnia at night.
Now that he saw that Li Congxin had come out completely, Gu Huanyi's joy was beyond words.
Gu Huanyi took Li Congxin to Gu's house and ordered the cook to make him a table of tofu feast.
Tofu and cabbage soup, fried tofu with cabbage, stewed tofu with herring head, green bean tofu soup, and so on.
Gu Huanyi explained: "This is what I heard Mama Miao say, people who have caused a lawsuit have to eat like this, which represents innocence." ”
Li Congxin smiled and said, "Then when you let me into the house, why didn't you let me cross the brazier to get rid of the bad luck on my body?" ”
Gu Huanyi turned his head and asked Mama Miao: "Is there still such a statement?" Isn't it a custom to cross the brazier for marriage? ”
Mama Miao said: "Some of them have to burn the clothes they wore in prison." ”
Gu Huanyi immediately instructed Liu Pei: "Uncle Liu quickly go to Zidezhai to prepare a brazier, and when the prince returns, he will burn his clothes." ”
Li Congxin didn't believe this, but looking at Gu Huanyi's serious arrangement, he was happy to cooperate, after all, he cared about her like this.
After eating, Gu Huanyi also sent Li Congxin back to Zidezhai.
She rarely had such a sticky time, which surprised Li Congxin.
Gu Huanyi blushed and said, "I have to watch you cross the brazier to get lucky, if I don't stare at it, the people below will not dare to care about you." ”
Li Congxin smiled and said, "Okay, listen to you, follow me back to Zidezhai." ”
Liu Pei really liked it, and he had already burned the brazier at the door of Zidezhai, and Li Congxin also obediently crossed the brazier, and took off the dirty clothes for Liu Pei to burn.
He stood in the atrium in his middle coat and said to Gu Huanyi: "Go to the tea room and sit for a while, and then I'll talk to you after I take a bath and change clothes." ”
Gu Huanyi was going to go home, but when she heard him keep her, she thought she had something to say, so she waited obediently.
Li Congxin didn't see Gu Huanyi for many days, and he wanted to hug her in the palace, and endured it until he went home, and saw that she was very particular about going to "bad luck", so he had to continue to endure it.
Now that he has eaten the "One Clear and Two White Banquet", crossed the brazier, and bathed and changed clothes, Li Congxin can finally get what he wants.
