Tan Miao covered her face and wailed and cried bitterly, Zhao Yuanzhi frantically wanted to pick up Gou Er, and shouted hoarsely at the guards: "What are your red eyes, he's so good!" Go, go and call me the Imperial Doctor!" Just go! He lowered his head and hugged the person hard: "It's okay, you hold on, and you'll be fine soon!" ”

Tan Miao looked at Zhao Yuanzhi who was trying to hold Gou Er and get up again on the ground in pain, biting her lip and saying bitterly: "He's dead, he's dead, he just wants to tell you, you let him help you protect Yang Baodai, he did it, he's too tired, Zhao Yuanzhi, you let him go well, don't be there······ He's in pain, he's talking and breathing, he's walking and you're — " Her open mouth was uncomfortably speechless.

"Shut up! He's fine! It's absolutely impossible to die just by spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood! Zhao Yuanzhi raised his hand and pushed the person away: "You are cursing my third brother and I will kill you!" ”

Zhao Yuanzhi fell to the ground, and the guards next to him didn't look at the greedy people who immediately stepped forward to grab people, the pickpockets of pickpockets, and the call for people.

The news of Zhao Yuanzhi's return has not yet spread through the streets and alleys, and the death of Gou Er, an official of the Fusi Department of Beizhen, has already swept the entire capital one step ahead.

Regarding the various versions of the cause of death in the capital, some people do not think that most of them say that Zhao Yuanzhi knew that his good brother and his wife had committed an affair with the killer, and the more common saying among the officials and relatives is that the Zhu family has already killed people, but the news has been closed, even if the Zhao family's body is stunned and passed away, very few people believe this statement.

The leader who can command the Jinyi Guard in the North Town Fusi can suddenly get sick and die!?

On the street, there are big white lanterns hanging outside the Zhao Mansion, the slaves who enter and exit are wearing linen and filial piety and scattering paper money into the air, the mourning overflows the high courtyard wall and hits the hearts of passers-by, the ebony coffin in the main hall falls in the room solemn and majestic, the mother-in-law Xiao Si who serves Gou Er kneels on the futon and wails constantly, and the slaves who kneel next to him are also unbelievable and can't wipe their tears, the money paper outside is scattered in the air, and the spiritualist stands on the roof and recites a song that seems to have been transmitted from ancient times.

A person who could still pant and eat in the morning suddenly became a person in a coffin, who could stand it? Gou Er is an extremely good-talking and kind master in the hearts of the servants of the Zhao family, and the slaves who come and go are uncomfortable.

Yang Baodai was wearing a silver-white gown, with a plain head and white flowers to greet the family members of the bureaucrats who came to mourn, not even the spirit of forced laughter, Sheng Heng took Yang Baomei out of the carriage and trotted in inside, Yang Baomei looked at her sister and was distressed, and her sweat towel covered her mouth and nose for a while, and her choked voice changed to hear the words, "What the hell is going on, wasn't Gou Er sleeping well when I left, how could he ······?" She said with tears of self-reproach: "I shouldn't have left, I should have guarded him well, Bao Dai, you can beat me, it's all me-"

Sheng Heng hugged his wife, his eyes were also regretful, and he said slowly: "The dead are the greatest, you help Zhang Luo in and out first, Bao Dai, you are about to give birth, it is not easy to get tired, you pay more attention, what about Zhao Yuanzhi, didn't he come back?" What about people? ”

Chao Chao answered: "I am in the warm pavilion with Imperial Doctor Mu." ”

Sheng Heng comforted the two sisters, and went towards the end of the warm pavilion, who knew that in the past, Xiao Si, the guard who looked at the two people, stood far away and didn't dare to approach, and when he saw him coming, he gestured for the two to fight inside.

The room was full of the sound of soldiers falling and breaking, Sheng Heng gritted his teeth and kicked the door open, and said angrily: "When is this coming, you are still fighting!" Is it to go to Gou Er's restlessness! Zhao Yuanzhen, you put the wife you want to give birth to in front of the reception guests, are you still a man! Mu Changping, if you don't help, forget it, and come to make trouble! I'm here to mourn, not to see you two brothers fighting! Don't stop yet! ”

Mu Changping grabbed Zhao Yuanzhi's collar and raised his fist to greet him, scolding: "Why did he die if he was so good!" That's how you did it to him! Zhao Yuanzhen, you bastard! He's your brother! I thought you were a bit of a brotherhood with Gou Er, but now I'm wrong! I should have taken him to my mansion to recuperate! You black-eyed bastard! It's really Lao Tzu who has lost his eyes! ”

"He's still so young, he can recover with good care! Say, how the hell did he die! Mu Changping watched Zhao Yuanzhi raise his fist again without speaking, Sheng Heng immediately went up to drag him, and reprimanded: "Enough, he is a scholar anyway, if you let the guests look at the blue nose and swollen face-"

"Get out of here! I teach this white-eyed wolf brother that it's not your Sheng family's turn to talk about it! Mu Changping pushed Sheng Heng away, and his voice was a little louder: "When are you still saving face, the hardest bones on your career over the years have been bulldozed by Gou Er, and this is how you repay him!" He called you a second brother, even if he never called you like this once, he really regarded you as his own brother! He has no father and no siblings! What a living man, why did you let him die! How can you ······"

Before this person came back, Gou Er was fine, why did he go back to Beijing······ Mu Changping didn't have the heart to send his fist to his face after all, "Say, how did he die!" He called me a big brother, you don't want to avenge him for this revenge, I don't want to give him blood hatred even if I fight for this official position as a doctor! ”

"Speak!" Mu Changping roared.

Zhao Yuanzhi smiled at the corner of his mouth, but said lightly: "Even if you kill me now, he won't survive." ”

"Are you still a human being! How to say such a thing! Mu Changping threw the person aside and walked outside, he didn't say it, he also had a way to ask!

Sheng Heng looked at the mess and just sighed heavily, and could only persuade: "The deceased is respected, clean up and come out to help, and the rest will wait for Gou Er to be buried." ”

Zhao Yuanzhi, who was the male owner of the mansion, did not go out of the courtyard to the main hall until night, at this time the guests were all dispersed, and even the noise of the summer cicada was weakened a lot, and the moonlight fell sparsely through the clouds, Zhao Yuanzhi looked at the coffin, and after a while, he said to the person next to him: "It's hard, go down." ”

Zhao Yuanzhi sat on the futon at the front of the coffin, looked up at the white memorial items, stretched out his hand and trembled several times before grabbing a handful of paper money into his hand, and slowly walked towards the brazier.

Li Tong and Li Ming were guarding outside, and their eyes were red, so they watched Yang Baodai come over.

"Ma'am." The two whispered goodbye

Yang Baodai raised her hand to signal that they didn't have to be more profitable, sucked up her tears, and her voice rustled: "You go down, it's enough for me here." ”

Zhao Yuanzhi looked at his wife who walked in front of her, turned his head and wiped his face with his sleeve, and fought a little hard: "Why did you come out, go back and rest first, I will keep vigil here." ”

Yang Baodai touched her stomach and looked at her husband for a while, and her voice was very soft and cold: "He was poisoned and killed by your mother, do you still want to protect the Zhu family?" Yang Baodai looked at Zhao Yuanzhi just don't turn her head and cover her mouth, she just smiled bitterly in her heart, and finally slowly took out something from her sleeve: "This is my plan and departure book, I don't want anything, Mama Sun didn't sign the deed with the Zhao family, I took out the deed of the dynasty, and the silver has been given to the account room according to ten times the amount of redemption, waiting for Gou Er's funeral to pass, you sign the name and send it to me." ”

Zhao Yuanzhi listened to Yang Baodai's emotionless words, Mu Leng raised his eyes to look at his wife, looked at the book she handed over, and instantly brushed his sleeves down, and his tone was almost negotiable and helpless: "I know that you are uncomfortable, we will wait for Gou Er to be buried and then say yes." ”

"In the afternoon, you went to Ouchi, no accident, next month you will succeed the first assistant of the cabinet and be crowned a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, your so-called postponement, I just think that I will stop and tolerate everything, Gou Er is dead, you still want to be promoted to power, and you are still thinking about a nihilistic official reputation to maintain a murderer." Yang Baodai looked at Gou Er's coffin calmly with her eyes, and looked back at her husband with a sneer: "Zhao Yuanzhi, maybe our marriage is a mistake, so be it, you and I will be fine in the future." ”

Zhao Yuanzhi said straightly: "I will not be separated, you are my wife, and you are destined to be with me in this life." ”

"Zhao Yuanzhi, if you are just in a position of power, after you leave, you can marry a girl who has a strong career for you, if you feel that you have lost your demeanor, it is okay to leave the book, just drive me out of the house with disrespect for my mother-in-law." Yang Baodai said self-deprecatingly, not even giving Zhao Yuanzhi a superfluous look, and was about to leave with her feet raised.

"Bao Dai." Zhao Yuanzhi raised his hand and pulled the hem of her skirt, and the rivers and seas in his eyes were full of pain and discomfort: "It's not Gou Er who killed his mother, it's me, it's me, he still has a breath, I watched him vomit blood all the time, watched him convulse all over his body, and even his eyes didn't know whether he could see or couldn't see and turn around, the doctor said that saving him was constantly Ling Chi, even if he survived, he was still struggling to linger on the sickbed, he kept pulling the sleeve, I don't know what the inexplicable whimpering words were in his mouth, I, I didn't want to see him in such pain, so I asked the Imperial Doctor to give him a relaxing medicine to take away, and I killed him-"

"If it weren't for your mother, he would have been here?" Yang Baodai just glanced at Zhao Yuanzhi lightly, raised her hand and pulled out her skirt mercilessly: "You don't deserve to be born and die for you like this!" That's why God took him away. ”

Yang Baodai said and walked straight out of the main hall.

Zhao Yuanzhi supported his body and followed Yang Baodai's footsteps out of the threshold, a tear dripped out, he lay on the ground with his head up, looked at the white cloth on the ceiling, turned his head to look at Gou Er's coffin, and finally cried silently.

Gou Er will never know in his life.

Zhao Yuanzhi for the safety of his brother, with a first and first color to let the old emperor give him an innocent family background, he Gou Er is his Zhao family tree on the person, is his brother-in-law, he is no longer a fatherless and motherless little bandit, is his Zhao Yuanzhi's own brother, is the old brother of the court.

He has never been an enthusiastic person, and he has never told Gou Er about this, but he really took this person as his younger brother.

But what's the use now, the person he regards as his own brother is gone.

His ears were full of Mu Changping's words as he rushed into the study to question him.

- "How can you not want him, how can you let him die!" He only has one relative, you! How could you-"
