Chapter 182: The Covenant of the Half Moon
Jiang Chao's face was also ugly, and it was not uncommon for hundreds of officials to secretly collude with each other to add fuel to the fire, but no one had ever said this matter directly on the bright side like Gu Jiuge.
Seeing that Jiang Chao stopped talking, Gu Jiuge withdrew his eyes, looked at Mu Yao and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, my cousin was wronged. No matter who is behind it, and no matter what is unspeakable, he should not have died such an innocent and tragic death. ”
When she said this, the meaning could not be more obvious.
Mu Yao's face turned blue with annoyance, his lips trembled, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Gu Jiuge, are you beating me?" ”
Gu Jiuge raised his eyes when he heard this, and said firmly: "The courtiers don't dare!" The courtiers only want justice! ”
Her tone is firm and resolute, and she cannot refuse. The room was full of people, and a little girl was so shocked that they couldn't speak.
"Gu Jiuge! Don't mess around, the woman died on Zhao Bingye's side, his hands were covered with blood, he was holding a dagger, how many pairs of eyes were watching, the evidence was conclusive, what justice do you want! Jiang Chao gritted his teeth and pointed at Gu Jiuge and scolded angrily.
Zhao Bingye's development is now a foregone conclusion, how can it be changed because of Gu Jiuge's words?
Gu Jiuge's expression turned cold when she heard this, and she helped Mu Liang to stand up with difficulty, she didn't say a word, took out a delicate and small dagger from Mu Liang's arms, and walked slowly towards Jiang Chao.
Everyone was shocked when they saw this, and they all stepped forward to form a circle, glaring at Gu Jiuge, who was holding a dagger in his hand.
"Gu Jiuge! What do you want to do? You dare to be so presumptuous in front of Your Majesty? Don't die! Jiang Chao raised his voice and scolded, he didn't believe that in this imperial study, in front of Mu Yao, Gu Jiuge could still kill him? As long as Gu Jiuge dares to hurt him in the slightest, he can put Gu Jiuge in a situation from which he will never recover!
Gu Shuyuan and the others also panicked when they saw this, and hurriedly came up to stop them, and said anxiously: "Ge'er! Don't mess around, put the dagger down! ”
Zhao Gao was also so anxious that he was sweating profusely, Gu Jiuge was in front of the robbery field today, and he was holding a sharp weapon in the back, this was a disrespectful capital crime, if Mu Yao blamed it, then she would definitely die!
"Ge'er, you are obedient, put the dagger down. You've done enough, he ...... at night" Zhao Hu stepped forward and blocked Gu Jiuge, halfway through his words, he suddenly choked, his throat rolled, and he said bitterly: "He, his life should be like this." ”
Gu Jiuge was sharp-eyed, with tears in his eyes.
She never believed in fate!
Mu Liang stood behind her, his brows furrowed slightly, he was naturally worried. But he wouldn't stop Gu Jiuge, no matter what she wanted to do, Mu Liang would support her and accompany her. Even if today's consequence is a dead end, Mu Liang will accompany her.
"Master Jiang, you said that my cousin was holding a dagger and was stained with blood, so he was a murderer." Gu Jiuge pushed Zhao Hu away, pressed towards Jiang Chao step by step, stood still in front of him, hooked his lips and smiled, and said, "It seems reasonable." ”
Looking at Gu Jiuge's appearance, Jiang Chao was a little panicked, he swallowed hard and spitted hard, forcing himself to calm down.
"Did I say it? If he didn't kill the person, how could the murder weapon be in his hands! Jiang Chao argued in his throat that he had lived most of his life, but he never thought that one day he would be forced to have no way out by a little girl.
Hearing this, the smile on Gu Jiuge's face became more and more vigorous. She suddenly approached, shoved the dagger in her hand into Jiang Chao's hand, and then held his wrist and slammed it hard.
The dagger pierced into Gu Jiuge's shoulder socket, and the blood stained his red and white clothes, which was shocking.
The change came so quickly that everyone was speechless.
Mu Liang's hand gathered his strength and slowly clenched it into a fist, he tried his best to suppress and restrain it, but his body couldn't stop trembling slightly.
"Ge'er!" He whispered in a hoarse voice.
Jiang Chao was also frightened enough, and took a few steps back in a panic, but he forgot to let go of his hand, the dagger was pulled out, and Gu Jiuge's body fell uncontrollably.
Mu Liang bent his knees and held Gu Jiuge and half-knelt on the ground, his eyes were full of distress, mixed with a faint anger.
"No...... No, it was her own hand, you can all see, it wasn't me who hurt her! Jiang Chao hurriedly threw away the dagger in his hand, and rubbed his clothes helplessly, but the blood on his hands could not be wiped clean.
Mu Yao was also speechless in shock, he only found out now that Gu Jiuge was stubborn, and it was so terrifying.
"Master Jiang, didn't you say it yourself? My cousin has blood on his hands and holds a dagger, so he's a murderer. Now, so are you. Can I say that you are also a murderer? Gu Jiuge said with a smile on a small face, she had lost a lot of blood, and her face was very ugly.
Jiang Chao panicked and angrily defended: "You are framed!" Naked framed! Gu Jiuge, are you crazy? ”
When Gu Jiuge heard this, he no longer looked at him, but turned to Mu Yao, struggled to his knees, gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, my cousin was also framed!" No one saw the events of that night, and who knew that the dagger was not designed to be put into his hands? ”
Hurt like this, but she still refuses to give up.
Mu Yao sat on the dragon chair with some weakness, his eyes were angry, and he stared at Gu Jiuge deadly.
At that moment, he thought about many results, and even moved to kill. This woman is too difficult to control, and it is terrifying.
"Brother Huang......" Mu Liang called in a low voice, and he could see the murderous intent in Mu Yao's eyes clearly.
Recalled by his voice, Mu Yao finally compromised and asked helplessly, "Gu Jiuge, how are you doing?" ”
Gu Jiu Ge said: "Please Your Majesty give the courtiers half a month, after half a month, if you can't return my cousin's innocence, the courtiers are willing to die together." ”
Mu Yao was silent for a long time, then he stood up suddenly, threw a piece of music in front of Gu Jiuge, and said angrily: "Gu Jiuge, this is your last chance, if you can't produce evidence after half a month, I will not be soft." When the time comes, no one will be able to save you. ”
The last sentence was for Mu Liang.
Half a moon appointment, the dust settles temporarily.
Mu Liang hugged Gu Jiuge, who was almost unconscious, and went straight to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the doctor followed. Fortunately, the dagger was not a vital point, and although a lot of blood was shed, there was no danger to life. Gu Jiuge fell asleep after taking the medicine, and Gu Shuyuan and the others accompanied her for a while, and then left to let her recuperate with peace of mind.
Only Mu Liang stayed in front of the bed all the time, his face was terrifyingly dark.
When Gu Jiuge woke up, it was already around midnight, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Mu Liang sitting at the head of the bed, not knowing what he was thinking. She wanted to get up, but she pulled the wound on her shoulder, and gasped in pain.
Mu Liang was alarmed, and when she woke up, she exhaled quietly, but the expression on her face did not ease in the slightest.
Gu Jiuge hadn't noticed it yet, sat up with difficulty, and said to himself: "There is only half a month, and there is no longer any delay." ”
Mu Liang gritted his teeth and squeaked when he heard this, if it weren't for the fact that she still had injuries on her body now, I was afraid that Mu Liang would have been unable to help but have a seizure.
Knowing that she woke up, Huiqiu also brought up the porridge that had been warm. Mu Liang stretched out his hand to take it and sat down on the edge of the bed. Although he was angry in his heart, he still took care of Gu Jiuge patiently and properly.
Blowing the porridge to a warm temperature, it was handed to her mouth.
Gu Jiuge opened his mouth to swallow and said, "My cousin's matter, you can start with the Xiaoxiang Pavilion first." Lin Luoshi's side has been refusing to open his mouth, and we can't help it. But I always felt that something was wrong, but I just couldn't think ......."
She was talking to herself, when suddenly, she heard a crisp voice sound.
But it was Mu Liang who threw the spoon in the bowl, Gu Jiuge raised his eyes and looked over, and finally found that his face was not good-looking.
"Mu Liang, what's wrong with you?" She tilted her head and asked tentatively.
Mu Liang's expression darkened slightly, and he took a deep breath, then looked at her and said, "I don't think you need me." ”
The words fell, and the room fell into a deathly silence.
didn't expect him to say such a thing suddenly, Gu Jiuge was also a little caught off guard, and didn't know how to continue.
Looking at Gu Jiu Gejing's surprised and somewhat overwhelmed eyes, Mu Liang repeated again, "You never needed me, I may not be special to you." ”
His voice was full of loss, and Gu Jiuge became more and more panicked.
"How...... How so? I need you, of course I need you! Knowing that Mu Liang was angry, Gu Jiuge hurriedly opened his mouth and coaxed. It's just that she's never coaxed anyone, so she really doesn't know what to do at this time.
Mu Liang smiled reluctantly and said, "You have always carried it yourself when you encounter problems." As for today's events, you robbed the Dharma field, did not hesitate to force each other with your life, and begged the imperial brother to give you time, you have not told me any of this. ”
As he spoke, his heart suddenly ached, and he didn't know why.
Gu Jiuge understood what he meant, she really rarely showed weakness in front of Mu Liang, in her past and present lives, she had experienced too much, and she had long been used to carrying everything alone. didn't expect Mu Liang to care about this.
"Many times, I want to protect you, but I find that I can't do it." After he finished speaking, he laughed at himself, and seeing that Gu Jiuge did not respond, he sighed lightly, put down the porridge in his hand, and got up to leave.
"Mu Liang, don't go!"
Seeing that he was leaving, Gu Jiuge hadn't thought about what to say, but the person had already struggled to get up and pounced, she wrapped her arms around Mu Liang's waist from behind and leaned on his back. Obviously, I had mixed feelings in my heart, and I wanted to explain countless words to him, but I couldn't say anything when it came to my mouth.
"The wound on my shoulder hurts so much, you're gone, who will feed me porridge?"
I held it for a long time, but there was only this one sentence.
Mu Liang turned around when he heard this, and saw that the wound on her shoulder was oozing blood again, and he was distressed and helpless for a while.
Gu Jiu Ge snuggled into his arms, hugged him and explained softly: "You are right, whether it is to save your cousin or ask Your Majesty for a few days, as long as you open your mouth, Your Majesty will definitely agree." But the General's Mansion is now on the cusp, and the people are resentful. If I beg you to speak, not only will I not be able to clear my cousin's suspicion, but you will also have a bad reputation for being pampered and arrogant, and not knowing right from wrong. What will the officials say about you, and how will the people arrange you? ”
She paused, looked up at Mu Liang, and said with a smile in her eyebrows: "I am reluctant to involve you." ”
