Chapter 420: Abdication
"Xiwu, don't leave the palace recently!" Gu Ronghe said to Gu Xiwu, for the sake of Gu Xiwu's safety, she still didn't want to leave the palace, so as not to encounter any accidents.
Things will develop like this, and Gu Ronghe can't prevent it. Obviously, he had already asked people to block the news, but he didn't expect it to spread in the palace in the end.
And with the incident of digging rocks in Zhongyue Mountain, the situation is now getting worse. Gu Ronghe was worried that Gu Xiwu would be affected by this matter, but he didn't know what to do when things developed so far.
"On the day of the ancestor worship, I must attend." Gu Xiwu was sure that she must attend that important day. The rest of the time, it doesn't matter if she can get out of the palace or not. But on the day of the ancestor worship, she must appear.
"Sorry, or I won't go." Gu Ronghe wanted to persuade Gu Xiwu, many people would be present that day, and when the time came, Gu Ronghe was afraid that there would be people with bad intentions to act on that day.
And when the time comes, there will be a lot of people, and Gu Ronghe doesn't know if he can protect Gu Rong and be thoughtful.
Therefore, for the sake of Gu Xiwu's safety, Gu Ronghe still hoped that Gu Xiwu would not attend. Because he didn't want anything to happen to him.
"It's fine." Gu Xiwu insisted, no matter what, she had to participate, and she couldn't back down because of such a thing.
If you can, Gu Xiwu also hopes to give you an explanation on that day. I just don't know if there will be a chance then.
"Okay." couldn't help Gu Xiwu's repeated insistence, but Gu Ronghe finally agreed. As for the day of ancestor worship, it is up to him to arrange it.
But at that time, he will definitely try his best to take care of her and try not to let her have any accidents.
"When the time comes, I'll arrange everything, bring you in, see the right time, you just have to act." Jiang Hui instructed that this operation, no matter what the result was, she didn't care, as long as the assassin would appear.
On the day of ancestor worship, it may be the only chance for them to do it, and this is also the news that Jiang Hui finally found out, and it was also difficult to seize the loophole, so that the assassins could blend into the crowd unknowingly and go to the scene of ancestor worship together.
"Yes." The Assassin nodded, then remained silent, not speaking again.
"Don't worry, after this is over, I will take care of your family." The Assassin worked for her, and Jiang Hui settled his family for the Assassin, which was a condition of the deal between the two.
In this operation, the Assassins had no conditions to escape. Jiang Hui had already explained this to the Assassins, and the Assassins finally responded, and Jiang Hui did not say anything more. only silently promised him and did what she promised.
"I believe in you." Without any doubts, the Assassin chose to believe in Jiang Hui. He is also ready, so at this time, he will definitely not back down.
It's also doing good for the people, isn't it? Now everyone can't wait for Gu Xiwu to disappear in this world, and he just wants to become a wish for everyone.
"Alright, let's get ready!" There was still time, and the Assassins could still prepare. Perhaps, he could say goodbye to his family one last time and visit them.
The assassin nodded, and then left, followed by Jiang Hui.
At the foot of the mountain, the silence of the past was restored again, and no one knew that a premeditated incident had just happened here.
"Ahh Gu Xiwu exclaimed, and then woke up with fright, sat up and gasped vigorously to calm his emotions.
After that day, Gu Xiwu would have nightmares every night, and the blood-stained face would also appear in his mind and in his dreams from time to time, and Gu Xiwu was extremely frightened of this.
Perhaps, it's time for her to leave. In the dead of night, such an idea arose in Gu Xiwu's mind.
On that day of ancestor worship, although Gu Rong and He Wuwei were arranged impenetrable, when worshipping ancestors, there was still a matter of assassination.
The assassin jumped out of the crowd, and everyone was overwhelmed, and Gu Xiwu didn't expect it. When the assassin was about to stab her with his sword, Gu Xiwu closed his eyes.
But after a while, Gu Xiwu didn't feel the expected pain, but the voice in her ears became more and more noisy.
Cautiously opened her eyes, the assassin fell in a pool of blood, Gu Xiwu turned pale with fright, looked around, Gu Xiwu clearly felt the resentment of the surrounding people towards her.
The assassin appeared quickly and died quickly, which had a great impact on the people, and the damage to Gu Xiwu was not small.
At the end of the memory, Gu Xiwu got up, put on a cloak, walked to the window, looked at the cold moonlight, and reflected on himself deeply.
Perhaps, she shouldn't have come back. The people are living in such a panic, this is not what Gu Xiwu wants to see.
To this day, Gu Xiwu still remembers their resentful eyes. It was she, because of her, that brought them bad things.
Perhaps, it's time for her to leave, even if it's for the sake of people's livelihood. After making a decision and making up her mind, Gu Xiwu's heart can be regarded as relieved, no longer so painful, and suddenly relieved.
Even the moonlight suddenly became softer.
"Xiwu, are you crazy?" Listening to Gu Xiwu's words, Gu Ronghe looked incredulous, Gu Xiwu is crazy, right? She actually wants to abolish her position? Did she figure it out?
"I'm not crazy." Compared with Gu Ronghe's gaffe, Gu Xiwu is very calm. She had already thought it through, this was a decision she had made after thinking about it for a long time, so this decision was not the result of her going crazy.
When Gu Xiwu said this, Gu Ronghe finally calmed down and was no longer so impulsive.
"It's a pity, if it's because of those things, I can handle it." Gu Ronghe still wanted to redeem her regrets and let her retract her decision.
If it was because of the Assassins and those rumors, then he could deal with it, and he would never let these things spread among the people again.
Moreover, those things were not Gu Xiwu's fault in the first place, so why did she blame herself for those things and propose to abolish the throne?
"I've already decided, Ronghe, don't persuade me anymore." Gu Xiwu had already made up her mind, so this time, no matter what Gu Ronghe said, she would not change her mind.
Originally, she just wanted to talk to Gu Ronghe, and she didn't plan to listen to Gu Ronghe's dissuasion. So if Gu Ronghe still wanted to persuade her, then she wouldn't say any more.
With just one sentence, Gu Ronghe was silent, he knew Gu Xiwu's temper, once she decided something, she would not easily change her decision.
Now that she said this, it also showed that no matter what he said, it would not help. In that case, then he should not waste his words in vain.
"Where are you going after that?" Gu Ronghe asked, since Gu Xiwu chose to be abolished, then after the abolition, she would definitely not stay in this palace anymore.
So where does she want to go after leaving the palace? Gu Ronghe didn't know, so he wanted to ask Gu Xiwu, he wanted to know where Gu Xiwu would go.
Let him know, and he can feel at ease. Maybe after knowing it, he can also do something for Gu Xiwu.
"Go to Qingguo Temple to cultivate." That's where she can be! Only the temple can tolerate her without asking about the origin, without asking about the past, without caring about everything.
Now that she has become the target of public criticism, no matter where she goes, no one will be able to tolerate her. It just so happened that Gu Xiwu also wanted to be clean and cultivate herself. And Qingguo Temple is the best choice, so Gu Xiwu will go there.
"Okay." As long as there is a place to go, it is good. As for going to the temple, he can also take care of it, in that case, Gu Xiwu should also be safe.
"Ronghe, I want to take Gu Hui with me." Gu Xiwu raised her head and looked at Gu Ronghe, her tone was unquestionable. This time I went to Qingxiu to pray for the blessing of the country, and Gu Xiwu wanted to take Gu Hui with him.
What Wuwei said to her that day, Gu Xiwu always remembered it. During her time in the palace, Gu Ronghe didn't do anything.
But now that Gu Xiwu is planning to leave, thinking about it, Gu Xiwu still feels a little uneasy. So this time Qing Xiu, Gu Xiwu wanted to take Gu Hui with her and let her cultivate him well.
It just so happens that the temple is also a place to raise people, Gu Xiwu believes that if Gu Hui can grow up in the temple, there will only be benefits to his future growth, and there will be no harm.
"After I leave, all the government affairs of the DPRK and China will be handed over to you, Ronghe, you will be very hard." In order to avoid Gu Rong and suspicion, Gu Xiwu explained.
Leave all government affairs to Gu Ronghe, and when the time comes, Gu Ronghe will not have much energy to cultivate Gu Hui.
"If I go there, there will be no familiar people, just right, bring Gu Hui over, let him accompany me to relieve my boredom!" Gu Xiwu naturally hopes that someone can be by her side.
If she can take Gu Hui away, then she can teach him well, then Gu Hui can also accompany her.
Take Gu Hui away, and Gu Ronghe can put more attention on handling political affairs and doing more things for the people. And she will not feel bored or anything else because of Gu Hui's existence, killing two birds with one stone, Gu Xiwu thinks it is feasible.
"Okay." Gu Rong and respond, this is fine.
"Tell me when you leave, and I'll see you off." This is Gu Ronghe's only request, as long as Gu Xiwu can agree, then he will also agree to all her conditions.
"Okay." Gu Xiwu responded, and then stopped bothering Gu Ronghe, turned around and left, and went to prepare for the Qingguo Temple.
Parting always feels heavy. Gu Xiwu left, it seemed that he felt sad from God, the sky was clear, but when Gu Xiwu left, suddenly a dark cloud came, and the sky immediately began to drizzle.
Gu Ronghe stood on the city tower, watching Gu Xiwu's carriage go away little by little, with mixed feelings in his heart.
