Chapter 241: Suicide in prison
Gu Qinglai took off the cumbersome headdress and clothes on his body, and said casually: "What do you have to do with us?" Even if I stab out, based on her one-sided words of Gu Qingwei alone, who can convict me? ”
"The mother is wise." Mingyue smiled when she heard this, and said with a flattering appreciation.
The door was kicked open, Gu Qinglai was stunned for a moment, the master and servant looked back, but saw Gu Jiuge walking in angrily.
Gu Jiuge didn't give Gu Qinglai a chance to speak at all, he slapped him down, Gu Qinglai stumbled, and almost fell.
"Big sister, so angry." Gu Qinglai covered his hot cheeks, looked at Gu Jiuge and said with a chuckle.
It was rare to see Gu Jiuge's angry appearance, and it seemed to be good.
"Gu Qinglai! It was you who instigated Wei'er to do something to His Highness! You know it's a capital offense! Gu Jiuge pinched her chin, forced her to look at herself, and gritted her teeth and asked.
"Big sister has always been smart, how can she say such stupid things now. It was she Gu Qingwei who assassinated Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, what does it have to do with me? Gu Qinglai just let her pinch herself, looked at her calmly and said with a smile.
Gu Jiuge gritted her teeth and creaked, of course she knew that there was no way to convict Gu Qinglai, but when she thought of Gu Qingwei's matter, she still couldn't hold back her anger.
"I can't help you! But people were watching yesterday, and if you do all the bad things, you will be punished sooner or later! Gu Jiuge shook her away fiercely and said fiercely.
Unexpectedly, when Gu Qinglai heard this, she looked up to the sky and laughed, she said, "Retribution? Big sister still believes this, so I don't know if you saw my mother come to you for revenge when you dreamed back at midnight? ”
"Gu Qinglai, sooner or later, one day, you will pay for what you have done!"
Dropping such a sentence in a cold tone, Gu Jiu Ge left.
The top priority should be to find Gu Qingwei as soon as possible.
The next day, around midnight, Mu Liang hurried to the small courtyard of drinking songs. At that time, Gu Jiuge had just returned from Mu Wanyu. Her body was still very weak, and she only woke up for more than an hour before falling asleep again.
"Ge'er, Gu Qingwei has thrown herself into the net."
Gu Jiuge's body trembled, and for a while, his heart was full of mixed feelings and sadness.
"Where is she now?" Gu Jiuge asked softly.
Perhaps, she should have gone and seen her.
"The imperial brother has ordered that he be put on death row and beheaded at the execution ground in three days." Mu Liang said in a deep voice, Gu Qingwei made such a big mistake, no one could protect her, Mu Yao did not anger the other people in the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was already for Mu Liang and Mu Wanyu's sake.
Gu Jiuge held his forehead and asked softly, "Can I see her?" ”
"Okay."
The request she made, Mu Liang never deserved.
……
It was night, and the clouds were thick, and the sky was gloomy and terrible.
Mu Liang had already taken care of everything, so that Gu Jiuge could enter the death row unimpeded.
Inside the cell, it was dark and damp, except for a kerosene lamp hanging above the foot of the wall, and the faint light seemed to dissipate at any moment.
Gu Jiu Ge pushed the door in, and Gu Qingwei, who was leaning against the wall, slowly opened his eyes. In those eyes, there was no sadness, no joy, no emotion, like a pool of stagnant water.
"If you knew today, why bother in the first place." Gu Jiuge sighed lightly and said, she really loved this sister. And Gu Qingwei has never done anything to be sorry for her for so many years, and even more often than not, she is defending her, which is also the reason why Gu Jiuge has complicated emotions.
Although she had committed such an unforgivable sin, Gu Jiuge still couldn't hate her.
Gu Qingwei looked at her, seemed to have regained her previous obedience, and said softly: "Big sister, the breeze has been sent back to the house, bother the big sister to bother, treat her well, and find a good husband for her in the future." She has been with me for so many years, and I can't wronged her. ”
Gu Jiuge sat down beside her, as if he were talking about it, and asked, "What else?" ”
"And Daddy, it's my unfilial piety that almost brought disaster to the Prime Minister's house. Sister Lao said sorry to my father on my behalf, I was not worthy of being his daughter in this life. Speaking of Gu Shuyuan, she couldn't help but feel sour in her heart.
Although Gu Shuyuan loved Gu Jiuge very much, he never let her be wronged, even if he knew that he was not biological.
The grace of nurturing is difficult for her to repay for a hundred lifetimes.
"Anything else?" Gu Jiuge sat beside him and listened quietly.
Gu Qingwei seemed to think of something when she heard this, and her expression couldn't help but darken, her bloodless lips moved slightly, and some words had reached her throat, but she still swallowed them hard.
"Nope." She shook her head lightly and said calmly with her eyes down.
"What about my brother?" Gu Jiuge asked softly.
Gu Qingwei trembled as if she had been electrocuted, her calm little face could no longer hold back, and she hid her face and cried bitterly.
"He must have hated me." Gu Qingwei said in a hoarse voice.
Gu Jiuge patted her on the back and said, "Maybe I don't hate it so much, my brother has always hated and blamed himself, it was he who made you like this." But you shouldn't hurt Your Highness. ”
Speaking of this, she paused, took her trembling body into her arms, and said, "You'er, you're confused. ”
Gu Qingwei couldn't stop crying more and more when she heard this, in fact, after thinking about it, she didn't regret it. She was confused at the beginning, coupled with Gu Qinglai's bewitchment, so she would do such a thing, she never thought of assassinating Mu Wanyi.
But no one will ever believe this, and she won't have a chance to say it again.
The voice of the jailer came from outside, the time was up, Gu Jiuge should go out.
Gu Qingwei reluctantly let go of her, crying like a tearful child, and said in a dumb voice: "Big sister, please help me...... Forget it, he'll never forgive me. Halfway through that, she shook her head, leaned against the wall and closed her eyes, lifeless.
Gu Jiuge looked at her and stopped talking, and then took out a begonia hairpin embedded with South China Sea pearls from his arms, which was a gift from Gu Lisheng to Gu Qingwei, and now Gu Qingwei was leaving, and he had to leave her something before he died.
"Fen'er, no matter what happens now, once and now, my brother and I really love you." Gu Jiuge put the begonia hairpin into her hair, and after speaking, she got up and left.
Gu Qingwei stroked the begonia hairpin, the man's warm eyebrows seemed to be in front of her, and she smiled tearfully.
Suddenly, she pulled out the hairpin and stabbed herself in the neck fiercely and without hesitation.
Kill with one hit.
The sound of falling to the ground came from behind him, Gu Jiuge's body stiffened, he couldn't help hiding his face and crying, his body couldn't stop shaking, Mu Liang reached out and took her into his arms, comforting her carefully.
"It's the most dignified way to die for her."
……
Gu Qingwei committed suicide in fear of sin, and the matter was over. Mu Yao saw that Gu Shuyuan had always been loyal and serving, so he ordered someone to send Gu Qingwei's body back.
Gu Shuyuan wanted to bury her in the Gu family's mausoleum, but was stopped by Gu Jiuge.
She knew that Gu Qingwei wanted to get rid of the identity of the Gu family's daughter until she died.
In the end, Gu Jiuge found a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, entered the grave for her, and erased her name on the Gu family tree. In this way, I came to make an example and give an explanation to the people and Mu Yao. The second reason is that without the surname Gu, she and Gu Lisheng are no longer brother and sister.
The matter was finally over, Mu Wanyi's body gradually improved, Gu Lisheng explained everything to her, she said that she could understand and sympathize with Gu Qingwei's experience.
But people always have to pay for their actions.
In the small courtyard of drinking songs, Gu Jiuge sat in the courtyard in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking, so that she didn't even notice that Mu Liang was coming.
"What do you think?" Mu Liang sat down beside her and asked softly.
Gu Jiuge came to his senses when he heard this, turned his eyes to look at Mu Liang's face, and suddenly leaned over and hugged him.
"Mu Liang, wait for the matter of the Nanban envoys, let's get married, I don't want to wait any longer." Gu Jiuge buried his head in his arms and said softly.
Gu Qingwei's matter seemed to have a thorn in her heart, thinking that Gu Lisheng and Mu Wanyu were almost separated by yin and yang, she was even more afraid, and she always had nightmares every day, and she always felt a little uneasy.
She was afraid that if one day, Mu Liang would also have an accident......
Of course, Mu Liang knew her thoughts, hugged her tighter with his backhand, and said softly: "Okay, when you marry, I will marry when you want." ”
……
The Nanban envoys came half a month earlier than expected, but fortunately, Mu Liang had always handled the matter of welcoming guests, and now that they came in advance, it would not catch people off guard.
I heard that there were not only the crown prince Da Yuanzhong in the Nanban mission, but also the princess Da Yuanyun accompanying him. Da Yuanyun and the crown prince are compatriots of the same mother, both of whom were born by the queen of the Southern Barbarians, and they have been pampered since childhood, and they are extremely loved by the king of the Southern Barbarians.
There is also a legend that this princess is strong in martial arts, ruthless, and especially good at using drugs, and is a famous drug king in the Southern Barbarians.
It's just that these are just legends that everyone knows, and I'm afraid we will only know when we see them.
That night, Mu Yao set up a banquet in the palace to wash the dust for the Nanban mission, and all the civil and military officials brought their families to attend, so as to show the great power of the Great Yue Dynasty.
Gu Jiuge entered the palace with Mrs. Zhao and others, and such a grand event was indispensable to the people of the Zhao family.
After all, Zhao Yuan and Da Yuanzhong also fought on the battlefield.
The palace banquet had already begun, and even Mu Yao had already arrived, but the Nanban mission had not appeared for a long time, which made Mu Yao and the hundred officials look ugly, didn't this clearly want to show them off the horse?
"Your Majesty! The Southern Barbarian Mission is so rude, it simply does not take our Dayue Dynasty in their eyes, according to the opinion of the ministers, there is no need to accommodate them! Otherwise, if it spreads, what is the power of the Son of Heaven! Dali Temple Qing Yan Ming said indignantly, and as soon as the words fell, many officials echoed them.
Mu Yao waved his hand and motioned for them to be quiet.
"Your Majesty, if we swallow our anger like this, won't we make them mistakenly think that our Dayue Dynasty is afraid of them!"
Suddenly, there was a lot of discussion below.
Mu Yao's face was a little unbearable, and his face was difficult to look at.
