Chapter 240: Picking Up a Life
At that time, Gu Lisheng was drinking with everyone in the hall, and Mu Liang was among them, although he couldn't drink too much, but today was a good day for Mu Wanyu after all, and he, as a younger brother, naturally wanted to have a drink.
He suddenly clutched his chest, and the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground and shattered.
Gu Jiuge was taken aback and said, "What's the matter?" ”
"I don't know." He shook his head slightly, and for a moment, he felt a great panic.
"Don't drink anymore!" Gu Jiuge helped him up and said with some concern.
The rest of the people couldn't help but laugh when they saw this, and said, "Ge'er will marry in the future, and she will definitely be a powerful one." ”
After that, the table full of people burst into laughter.
"Big young master! Something happened! A terrible roar interrupted everyone's laughter, and following the voice, it was a little maid.
"What happened?"
"Your Highness has been assassinated, and now ......," the little maid knelt down with a thud and said tremblingly.
Gu Lisheng's legs were weak and he almost fell, Zhao Bingye stretched out his hand to stabilize his body, and the group hurried to the new house.
Inside the house, the eyes were full of red, but they were not as conspicuous as the red on Mu Wanyi's body, Yun Wei hugged her, and her pink clothes were also stained red with blood, and the scene was ...... It's horrifying.
"Your Highness!" Gu Lisheng rushed forward, frightened by a pair of scissors on her chest, he turned around and shouted, "Find a doctor!" Find a doctor! ”
It's too late for him to find out who did this, he only wants to save Mu Wanyi's life now.
Gu Jiuge was also panicked, and said in a trembling voice: "Huiqiu, go and invite your aunt, go quickly!" ”
Mu Wanyi's assassination shocked the entire royal city, and Mu Yao rushed out of the palace overnight when he learned of this, and in an instant, the entire royal city fell into a deathly silence.
Wuya hurried over, frowned, and said in a deep voice: "You can't move her, Li Sheng, you will lay your Highness's body flat." ”
The scissors stabbed too deeply, and she bled so much that Wuya really didn't dare to act rashly.
"Auntie, please save her, she can't have an accident!" Gu Lisheng knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, crying and begging, but he didn't feel the blood when he saw it.
"Ge'er, go and prepare hot water and clean quilts and clothes, invite everyone out, and order someone to boil a bowl of ginseng soup, the thicker the better." Wuya commanded in a deep voice, Gu Jiuge came back to his senses and did what she asked.
Everyone was invited to the courtyard, and only Wuya and Gu Jiuge were left in the house, Gu Lisheng and Yunwei said that they would also accept this to guard Mu Wanyu, and Wuya could only rely on them.
"Fortunately, the scissors didn't hit the vital point, if it misses even a fraction, I'm afraid that His Highness will be killed on the spot." Wuya carefully examined the wounds on Mu Wanyi's body, breathed a sigh of relief, and said happily.
Hearing her say this, several people let out a breath.
In the courtyard, Mu Yao sat there with a black face, and the Gu family knelt in the courtyard full of people.
Now that Mu Wanyi has suffered this catastrophe in the Prime Minister's Mansion, if she has any three long and two short, I am afraid that the entire Prime Minister's Mansion will be buried with her.
"What the hell is going on! Where is the murderer! Mu Yao asked in a low voice.
Gu Shuyuan and the others were confused when they heard this, when the incident happened, they were all in the front hall to accompany the guests, and no one thought that such a thing would happen on the wedding day.
"Your Majesty forgives your sins, Your Highness suffered this calamity, and the old minister really deserves to die. It's just that this murderer, Lao Chen didn't have a clue for a while. Please give your majesty some time to find out about this matter. Gu Shuyuan kowtowed, and then spoke.
In fact, he already had a guess in his heart, but he didn't want to believe it, and he didn't dare to believe it.
"Gu Xiang, your Prime Minister's Mansion inevitably doesn't value the Imperial Aunt too much, on such a big day, there is no small maid guarding this new house, otherwise, the Imperial Aunt will not be assassinated!" Xuan Lang stood on one side, looked at Gu Shuyuan and scolded coldly.
Gu Shuyuan hurriedly explained: "The old minister doesn't dare, there are people arranged in the courtyard, but it's just ......."
"If there are people, then why are there still bad people breaking into the house! Gu Xiang, could it be that this murderer is someone from your Prime Minister's Mansion? Otherwise, how could he come and go freely in the Prime Minister's Mansion! ”
In one sentence, the entire Prime Minister's Mansion fell into a place of no return.
Gu Shuyuan was choked by his words, his heart was mixed, and he was so confused that he didn't know how to answer for a while.
"Father, I think there is a person with a heart who specially chose to do it to the imperial aunt today, and everyone in the Gu family treats the imperial aunt very well, so naturally there will be no bad intentions. Today's incident, I am afraid that the murderer took advantage of the happy day to take away the people guarding the door, so he found an opportunity to start. If the father wants to know the truth, he might as well summon those who guard the courtyard to come and inquire about it. ”
Xuan Yue stood aside, looked at Mu Yao and whispered.
Mu Yao nodded when he heard this, and someone immediately lifted the few little maids guarding the courtyard out of the crowd and escorted them to Mu Yao.
"I ask you, why did the eldest princess have an accident?" Mu Yao's expression was cold, and he looked at those people and gritted his teeth and asked.
"Back to the emperor, yes...... It was the third lady, and it was she who gave the minions silver, saying that she was letting the minions go to eat and drink and be happy. The emperor is aware that the minions really don't know anything! A little guy kowtowed and shouted.
When Gu Shuyuan heard this, his heart sank suddenly.
Sure enough, it's Gu Qingwei!
"Wang Cheng, go and bring this third lady over!"
Wang Cheng was ordered to go out, and the people in the courtyard held their breath and didn't dare to make a sound.
I don't know how long it took, the door opened, Gu Jiuge helped Wuya out, she was stained with blood, everyone looked at it, and their hearts rose to their throats.
Mu Liang strode forward, supported her body, and asked softly, "How is it?" ”
Gu Jiuge stood firm, walked towards Mu Yao, lifted his skirt and knelt down.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness is no longer in the way. But today's matter, my Gu family is to blame, how to deal with it, it is all up to His Majesty, and the Gu family has no complaints! ”
Hearing her say that Mu Wanyu was out of danger, Mu Yao also let out a heavy sigh, and then said coldly: "The perpetrator has been found, and this person is naturally certain to die." As for the rest of the Gu family, I will deal with it. ”
"Found it? Who is it? Gu Jiuge raised his head sharply and asked in shock.
"Third Miss Fushang."
Gu Jiu Ge closed his eyes when he heard this, and in the end, Gu Qingwei still walked on a dead end. To this day, no one can save her.
After a while, Wang Cheng came back and said in a low voice: "Back to Your Majesty, the third miss of the Gu family has disappeared, and only her close maid has been found." ”
"Absconding in fear of crime?" Mu Yao's expression was cold, and he said fiercely: "Hang this maid on the city wall, let it go, if she doesn't show up after two days, I will let the entire Prime Minister's Mansion be buried with me!" ”
The Son of Heaven was angry and bled thousands of miles, it was true.
Everyone in the Gu family didn't dare to argue, so they could only watch as the breeze was taken out. Mu Yao tapped his temples, whispered a few words to Mu Liang, and left.
"Daddy, you can go back and rest, brother, I have me here." Gu Jiuge helped Gu Shuyuan up, and when he saw that he seemed to be ten years old, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
Gu Shuyuan shook his head lightly and said, "This time, she really broke into a monstrous disaster. ”
After dismissing everyone, Gu Jiuge sat down weakly, and after tossing for so long, her face was also very ugly.
But fortunately, Mu Wanyu did not worry about her life.
Mu Liang held her hand and said softly: "Gu Qingwei has made such a big mistake now, the imperial brother will not spare her, and it is useless for you to worry." I just don't know why she did it. ”
Gu Jiuge sighed lightly when he heard this, and said: "She is not the bloodline of our Gu family, she was picked up by her father back then, she is obsessed with her brother, she has destroyed the relationship between her brother and His Royal Highness many times, and now she has committed a capital crime." I just feel sad that she used to be such a well-behaved and gentle girl. ”
Now, it's like this.
For this twist, Mu Liang was also secretly surprised.
Gu Jiuge held his forehead, thinking about all this that happened, he couldn't help crying, and he didn't know what it was for, he just felt uncomfortable in his heart.
Mu Liang was distressed, took her into his arms, patted her on the back, and comforted her softly.
"Miss." At that time, Huiqiu had just come back from boiling ginseng soup, she sent the ginseng soup into the house, looked at Gu Jiuge and called in a low voice.
"What's wrong?" Gu Jiuge wiped away his tears and asked.
Huiqiu took out a small note from her bosom, handed it to her, and said, "This was found by the slave maid in the house. ”
Gu Jiuge took a closer look, only to see that it was written: "Wei'er, tonight, I will take the guards, what is the future, you can only rely on yourself to fight for it." ”
After reading it, Gu Jiuge couldn't help frowning, could it be that he ...... Gu Qingwei assassinated Mu Wanyu today, was she bewitched by anyone?
"Miss, do you feel familiar with the handwriting when you look closely?" Eqiu couldn't help but remind.
Gu Jiuge looked at it carefully when he heard this, and suddenly felt a chill behind him.
She bit her lip and said in a low voice: "This is Gu Qinglai's handwriting!" ”
She and Gu Qinglai have been living for two lifetimes, never dying, how could they not recognize this as her handwriting!
Sure enough, Gu Qingwei has a cowardly temperament, even if she loves Gu Lisheng, she will never do such a thing as murder. Gu Jiuge now doubted that Gu Qingwei used such dirty means to deal with Gu Lisheng that night, was it also bewitched by Gu Qinglai?
This woman is really a scourge!
"Painting autumn and painting spring, you are here for a good life, I will go back when I go!" Gu Jiuge said in a deep voice, and then went out with Mu Liang.
At that time, Gu Qinglai had already returned to the house, and it was a pity to think that Mu Wanyi had escaped today. If Mu Wanyu died, then the entire Prime Minister's Mansion would suffer, even if Mu Liang desperately protected Gu Jiuge, then Gu Lisheng would definitely die.
She sighed lightly and said, "It's a pity, I didn't expect that woman Wuya to be so skilled in medicine!" ”
"Niangniang, this matter can't be related to us, right?" Mingyue asked with some concern.
If Gu Qingwei confessed to them, Mu Yao would definitely not spare them.
