Chapter 267: Things Have a Turnaround
As Gu Qinglai's words fell, several jailers stepped forward and tied Gu Jiuge's hands and feet with iron chains.
"Gu Jiuge, you even have today." Gu Qinglai said with a chuckle, then took the whip from the jailer's hand and came to Gu Jiuge in a leisurely manner.
Gu Jiuge sneered and said, "That's all you have to do." ”
Gu Qinglai was furious when he heard this, and suddenly raised his hand and shook the whip down fiercely. The whip was whipped on her body, and suddenly there was a shocking blood mark, which made Gu Jiuge's face pale, but she still endured it, with a mocking smile on her face.
"Gu Jiuge! Just enjoy it. Gu Qinglai said and handed the whip to Mingyue, and he moved a chair to sit next to him, enjoying it while drinking tea.
After a short time, Gu Jiuge was already covered in bruises and covered in blood.
Gu Qinglai put down the cup in his hand, turned to Gu Jiuge and asked, "Please forgive, maybe my kindness will make you suffer less." ”
"Huh! Beg? Gu Jiu Ge suddenly laughed, blood oozing from the corners of his mouth, extremely terrifying, and said, "Gu Qinglai, do you know what it's like to be dragged by a fast horse?" Do you know what it's like to be covered in chili water? Do you know what it's like to have your eyes gouged out alive? Do you know what it's like to be burned by fire? ”
Listening to Gu Jiuge's words, Gu Qinglai actually shivered subconsciously, and she felt her scalp tingle just listening to these torture methods.
"Are you suggesting something to me?" Gu Qinglai got up and walked in front of Gu Jiuge, looked at her and asked with a chuckle.
Gu Jiu Ge said in a deep voice: "Gu Qinglai, you'd better kill me today." Otherwise, the day I turn over, I will take your life with my own hands! ”
"Don't worry!" Gu Qinglai pinched her chin and said, "Although I won't kill you, I will definitely serve you comfortably today!" ”
After speaking, Gu Qinglai turned around and walked to the stove, picked up the red-hot soldering iron inside, and gradually approached Gu Jiuge.
"Doesn't His Royal Highness King Liang love you very much? I'm here to help you test the temptation to see if he loves you as a person, or your face! Gu Qinglai showed a grim look on his face, and he was about to stick the red-hot soldering iron to Gu Jiuge's face.
Gu Jiuge clenched his teeth, and at the last moment, a sharp sword appeared in the air, forcibly blocking the soldering iron in Gu Qinglai's hand.
Several people were startled, and when they looked up, it was a man in black, with a grim expression and an unusually cold look.
After seeing the person clearly, Gu Qinglai's eyes widened, and he roared angrily: "No shadow!" What do you want to do! ”
Wuying put away his sword and said coldly: "Before leaving, Your Highness specially instructed your subordinates that you must not let Concubine Gu do anything to Miss Gu." ”
After listening to his words, Gu Qinglai became more and more angry, and he could barely speak. Xuan Lang has gone to the battlefield, and he didn't forget to ask his subordinates to take care of Gu Jiuge!
"He is infatuated with Gu Jiuge! What if I have to do it today? Gu Qinglai roared angrily, holding the soldering iron and throwing it at Gu Jiuge again.
Seeing this, Wuying's expression was ruthless, and he raised his sword against Gu Qinglai's neck.
"Concubine Gu, please don't force your subordinates to do it. Your subordinates have always only obeyed Your Highness's orders, if Concubine Gu dares to come again, your subordinates will really take your life! Wuying's tone was still cold, his wrist was slightly sent forward, and the tip of the sword had already pierced Gu Qinglai's skin.
Gu Qinglai panicked slightly, paused in the movements of his hand, and said fiercely: "No shadow!" How dare you do it to me! ”
"The subordinates are just acting on orders, and they also ask the side concubine to leave the prison!"
Mingyue stepped forward and pulled Gu Qinglai's sleeve, and persuaded softly: "Niangniang, let's leave here first, as for Gu Jiuge, even if we don't move her, the queen mother and Dong Guifei will never spare her." Think about it, the second prince ended up like this because of Gu Jiuge, so can Concubine Dong let her go easily? ”
After listening to Mingyue's words, Gu Qinglai gave up, took a deep breath, and said, "I will spare you today, I don't believe that there are people who can protect you every day!" Even if there is no shadow to defend me, but those who are in a higher position, I wonder if he can be so tough! ”
After saying that, Gu Qinglai glanced at Wuying fiercely, and left here with Mingyue.
Shadowless put away his sword and looked coldly at the jailers.
Those jailers immediately understood, and hurriedly stepped forward to untie the chains on Gu Jiuge's body.
After gaining freedom, Gu Jiuge's body shook violently, and he fell heavily to the ground, hurting all over his body. She stood up strongly, glanced at Wuying, and was about to thank him, but when she saw his gloomy face, she turned and left the cell.
Gu Jiuge held on to the wall and returned to the cell, and Begonia hurriedly stepped forward to support her when she saw this, and said worriedly: "Miss, what's wrong with you?" That Gu Qinglai dared to torture you! I'm out and kill her! ”
"Don't be impulsive." Gu Jiuge grabbed her and said weakly. Now that they have fallen to this point, it would be good to be able to stay for a life, what are these punishments.
"Ge'er, how are you feeling? Are you okay? Gu Shuyuan was also a little anxious, and asked anxiously.
Gu Jiuge nodded and said, "Daddy, I'm fine." ”
"Daddy, is there any way you can get us in touch with the outside? Now that he is trapped in this cell, he is simply a mermaid, and if he doesn't think about it, I'm afraid that there is really no chance to turn over. Gu Jiuge endured the pain and walked over, looked at Gu Shuyuan and asked.
Gu Shuyuan shook his head, why didn't he want to think of a way to get out, but this is death row! How can it be so easy to come into contact with the outside world.
Gu Jiuge sighed heavily when he heard this, and sat on the ground a little weakly.
That night, everyone fell asleep, except for Gu Jiuge, who leaned against the wall and meditated.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps in the silent prison, clear and slow, step by step as if stepping on people's hearts.
"Miss Gu?"
A cautious voice came from the door of the cell, Gu Jiuge looked up, only to see an old woman standing at the door of the cell wearing a cloak. She handed the jailer a silver ingot, and the jailer reluctantly opened the door, muttering, "Hurry! If it weren't for the middle of the night, I wouldn't have dared to let you in! ”
"Yes, yes, thank you!" The old woman nodded her head in thanks, and then carried the food basket into the cell.
The rest of the cell was also awakened, and they were all frightened when they suddenly saw someone coming in.
"Miss Gu, are you alright?" Seeing Gu Jiuge's wounds all over her body, Mama Xu hurriedly came forward to ask.
Gu Jiuge shook his head and asked, "I'm fine, I don't know who you are?" ”
"The old slave is the grandmother Xu next to His Royal Highness, and the old slave came here today because he has something important to tell the eldest lady!" Mama Xu took Gu Jiuge's hand and said anxiously, she looked flustered and hurried, as if she had encountered something big.
Gu Jiu Ge said, "What's the matter?" ”
"The old slave heard in the palace that His Majesty was not assassinated and unconscious at all, but was poisoned by the queen mother and Dong Guifei! Now the entire royal city is in the hands of the queen mother and Dong Guifei, not only that, but the queen mother also secretly ordered the household department to cut off the supply of military salaries, grain and grass! In the long run, the soldiers on the battlefield will surely die! Mama Xu was so anxious that she almost cried.
Gu Jiuge was secretly shocked when he heard this, it turned out that this was the case! No wonder the queen is so anxious to take care of the Gu family and the Zhao family, is she doing this now with the intention of plotting to usurp the throne?
"Wait! The queen actually cut off the supply of food, grass and military salaries? Without the Holy Decree, how dare Tobe! Gu Jiuge asked urgently, now that the situation is getting more and more serious, if you don't think of a way, I'm afraid that they will all die in the hands of the queen and Concubine Dong!
Mama Xu held Gu Jiuge's hand tightly, and said in a low voice: "Today's household book was brought out by Gu Qinglai's maternal grandfather, and the Jiang family has also been involved a lot in the matter of cutting off the army's salary. ”
Hearing her say this, Gu Jiuge understood.
"Now in this world, it is really the queen's world!" Gu Jiuge gritted his teeth and said, his brows were almost twisted.
She thought for a while, looked at Mama Xu and said, "Mama, are you safe in the palace now?" ”
"The old slave has been guarding the Fifth Highness for so many years, and has never participated in these, because the queen mother has not paid much attention to the old slave now. Your Majesty's poisoning was also heard by the old slave by chance, so he tried his best to come out and tell the eldest lady about it. Now that the Prime Minister's Mansion is all in prison, and the General's Mansion is also surrounded by the queen's mother, the old slave really has no choice. ”
Gu Jiuge patted her hand and turned his head into deep thought.
"Miss, since it is poisoned, as long as the poison on His Majesty's body is solved, then everything will be solved?" Begonia whispered.
Gu Jiu Ge said: "Mama Xu, you take this, go to Qingfeng Pavilion in the city tomorrow and find a girl named Qingfeng." If I'm not mistaken, Hua Chun should have taken Aunt Wuya to hide in Qingfeng Pavilion, you find Aunt Wuya, and then find a way to bring her into the palace. Aunt Wuya is very good at medicine, and compared to His Majesty's poison, it is not difficult for her. ”
Mama Xu nodded again and again, took the blood jade bracelet handed over by Gu Jiuge, carefully hid it, and said, "Don't worry, eldest lady, the old slave is fighting for this life, and he will definitely take this matter properly." ”
"Mama, I know that this matter is extremely dangerous, but now that I am in prison, there is no way to ...... many things"
"Miss, don't say such things, our Royal Highness and Miss Zhao have a marriage contract, and the Zhao Gu family is in the same spirit, the old slave just doesn't want Miss Zhao to have something to do with you, otherwise His Highness will be sad when he comes back." Mama Xu interrupted her and said seriously and firmly.
"So, Jiu Ge has thanked Mama here!" Gu Jiuge knelt down on one knee, looked at Mama Xu and thanked him solemnly.
Mama Xu hurriedly helped her up, and said in a panic: "Miss, don't do this, this is the birthday of the old slave!" ”
