Chapter 367: The Last Knife
The boiling hot tea that overflowed from the cup fell down the table and dripped straight onto her feet, she came back to her senses in pain, and quickly put down the teapot in her hand, frowning slightly.
Le Yao suddenly heard the sound of vomiting blood coming from the house, her face turned pale, and she rushed to the door of the house and was about to push the door in, but she was stopped by the sound of conversation from the house.
"I'm fine, the poison is forced out." Liu Yingjiang's voice was still a little weak.
"Have a good rest for a few days, I've already helped you find out, last night King Wu failed to force the palace, and a palace maid attacked the emperor, because she was the maidservant before Miss Gao, so she was put in prison."
"Ridiculous!" Liu Yingjiang said angrily: "How can Gao Weihu be that kind of person, even if she hates Beitang Jinyu and wants to kill him, she will definitely not involve others again, this is definitely another frame-up." ”
"What's next for you?"
Liu Yingjiang paused for a moment, and then said: "I must rescue her, now that I have the key, the top priority now is to get her out of prison......"
Le Yao stood at the door and listened to their conversation, and suddenly felt very uncomfortable in her heart, although she knew early on that Brother Liu admired the imperial sister-in-law, and she herself understood that she couldn't be jealous of the imperial sister-in-law, but knowing that Liu Yingjiang was working so hard for Gao Weihu, she still had some difficulty in restraining the emotions in her heart.
After a long time, she let out a long sigh, and there was a bit of gloom in her eyes.
That's it, only when the imperial sister-in-law is saved, Brother Liu will be happy, what else is there to be jealous of her Le Yao.
She walked slowly towards the pavilion, her figure looking a little more lonely.
The chill in the prison gradually grew and lasted for a long time.
Gao Weihu didn't sleep all night, as long as she closed her eyes, Beitang Jinyu uncontrollably appeared in her mind, all kinds of things about Beitang Jinyu to herself, the cold and hot in Qifeng Palace, the iron chain, the slave and maid of Xin's Curry, ignoring it, and now in this gloomy prison, the heart he gave him is like ashes.
She thought back to these again, her heart was full of ridicule and ridiculousness, she Gao Yuhu thought she was proud, but she was trampled by him again and again, and her heart was trampled on, and now she finally sent the last knife, without hesitation.
Gao Weihu thought of those cone-hearted curtains, and no tears fell from his eyes, but he added a little sadness and joy, and was a little arrogant.
"General, the place where King Wu is imprisoned is not here, this ......" a jailer's voice came, with a little hesitation.
"Last night the palace was in turmoil, and someone was waiting for an opportunity to assassinate the emperor, and today I am here to interrogate the prisoner." Xiao Chu said, took out Beitang Jinyu's handwritten oracle from his sleeve and handed it to him, and the jailer quickly knelt down, not daring to say anything more.
Gao Weihu didn't expect Xiao Chu to come, the jailer opened the chain and let him in, he walked straight to Gao Weihu, and said in a soft voice: "Gao Weihu, it's cold on the ground, get up." ”
Gao Weihu slowly raised her eyes to look at him, there was a little fluctuation in her unwavering eyes, and she opened her mouth and whispered, "General Xiao, why are you here?" She had not drunk any water all night, and her throat was dry and hoarse.
"I'm coming to see you." Xiao Chu said, brought the meal that the jailer had put at the door in the morning to the small table, sat down on the side and said, "Sit down first." ”
Gao Weihu nodded a little sluggishly, Xiao Chu couldn't help but feel distressed when he saw her godless appearance.
"Are you hungry?" Xiao Chu handed her the dishes and chopsticks, but Gao Weihu shook his head and said, "I'm not hungry." Her eyes fell on Xiao Chu and said, "General Xiao, how did you get in this heavy cell?" ”
"I told the emperor in person, although he is a little angry, he will not do anything to me." Xiao Chu said with a smile on his lips: "Gao Weihu, don't worry, I will definitely let you leave here in person as soon as possible." ”
The smile in Gao Yuhu's eyes was faint and shallow, not as good as the bottom of her eyes, she said in a low voice: "General Xiao, don't worry about me, you ...... today I shouldn't be here, people are terrible, you and I understand. ”
Seeing her like this, Xiao Chu wanted to hold her in his arms and comfort her at this moment, but he also knew that he couldn't.
"Lake Gaohao." Xiao Chu looked at her with a little affection in his eyes, and he said in a somewhat soft tone: "You are only nineteen years old, and you still have a long time to go in this life, did you make such a hasty decision?" ”
Gao Weihu's heart suddenly swelled with sourness, yes, she was only nineteen years old, and she had already fallen to such a point.
But now, what else could she ask for?
"Xiao Chu, thank you." Gao Weihu looked at him with a little gratitude in his eyes: "You are so good to Gao Weihu." ”
This sentence, she said sincerely, Xiao Chu really took gentle care of Gao Wei Lake, but unfortunately that Gao Wei Lake is long gone, and now this self has also disappointed him.
A few days have passed, Liu Xu'er's injuries have not improved at all, and the wounds are always difficult to heal, Beitang Jinyu was worried and confused in his heart, but the imperial doctor said that it was because the wound was too deep, and Liu Xu'er's system was very weak, and it did not heal so quickly.
Therefore, Liu Xu'er stayed in Zichen Hall for a long time, and Beitang Jinyu came to see her every time she went down, and it was really a great favor in the eyes of others.
"Aifei, your wound has not healed, do you feel bored staying in this room every day?" Beitang Jinyu looked out the window, the daylight in the garden was just right, and the flowers were in full bloom.
"The concubines are fine, the emperor can come to see the concubines every day, and the concubines already feel very satisfied." Liu Xue'er sat on the bed, leaning against her black hair, and her pale face still looked very weak.
Beitang Jinyu stretched out his hand to hold her hand, lowered his voice and said, "Aifei, you are always so good." ”
"Your Majesty, the concubines are just doing their duty." Liu Yu'er smiled lightly, and asked with some concern: "Your Majesty, it was that Qinghui who assassinated you that day?" I heard the palace people say that she was instructed by the deposed queen, can you take it seriously at this time? ”
Beitang Jinyu had mixed emotions in his eyes, looked at Liu Xu'er and said: "I have already put the abolished queen in prison, and I will go to interrogate after the matter of King Wu is dealt with, and I will definitely find out." ”
Liu Xu'er pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes full of trust in Beitang Jinyu: "The concubine believes that the emperor will definitely deal with it impartially, if it is not for the abolition of the queen, she cannot be wronged." ”
Beitang Jinyu nodded, but what he thought in his heart was that when the affairs of the Martial King were dealt with, he would no longer have to worry about someone assassinating Gao Weihu, and then he would be able to let her return to his side again.
Liu Xu'er didn't know what Beitang Jinyu was thinking, and she secretly thought that Gao Weihu must be going to death this time.
"Then Concubine Ai has a good rest, I still have some things to deal with." Beitang Jinyu patted Liu Xu'er's hand lightly, and she responded: "The concubine respectfully sends the emperor." ”
Beitang Jinyu got up and walked towards the imperial study, Gui Xi followed him, and whispered respectfully: "Your Majesty, there is news from the prison, Miss Gao...... I haven't eaten in two days. ”
Beitang Jinyu stopped, with a little anger in his eyes, and with distress, he waved his sleeves and said, "You go back to the imperial study first, and I will take a look." ”
"Your Majesty, this ...... Is General Xiao still waiting? Gui Xi hesitated a little, Beitang Jinyu's face sank, and his tone was a little cold: "Then let him wait." ”
After saying that, Beitang Jinyu walked towards the prison, thinking of the thin appearance of Gao Weihu a few days ago, he had mixed feelings.
Her so obedient appearance made Beitang Jinyu instantly helpless, looking at her lowering her eyes and eating, he couldn't help but whisper: "Since you are not hungry, why do you want to eat?" ”
"Suddenly hungry." Gao Weihu's tone of speech has always been very flat, and he doesn't even look at Beitang Jinyu, which makes him feel particularly powerless, Gao Weihu does not have the arrogance and domineering of the past, and he doesn't even have an indifferent and resolute look towards himself, at this moment she is calm and indifferent like a stranger.
His hand hidden in his sleeve clenched into a fist, and an endless anger rose in his heart, not so much anger as chagrin.
"Gao Weihu, is this the way you talk to me?" Beitang Jinyu suddenly reached out and pinched her chin tightly, the anger between her eyebrows was not hidden, and her words were extremely mean: "Don't forget your identity!" ”
He just wanted to provoke her, and make her bleak face have joy and sorrow.
But he was wrong, Gao Weihu just slowly put down the chopsticks in his hand, lowered his gaze and said: "The slave knows that he is wrong, please punish the emperor." ”
Beitang Jinyu worked harder and harder, and said in a calm voice: "Gao Weihu, where is your arrogance? What about your temper? Why are you so groveling now? ”
Gao Weihu smiled lightly, looking at him with a bit of mockery in his eyes: "Gao Weihu knows that his identity is humble, and he doesn't dare to exceed the rules. ”
Looking at each other, he couldn't find the slightest anger or sadness in her eyes, her eyes were hollow and lifeless.
He suddenly let her go easily, trembling slightly when he withdrew his hand, how could it be? He didn't even dare to look into her eyes, there was nothing in those eyes, only nothingness when he looked into them, like the ancient well and deep pool are now exhausted, and even more like the blossoming field is now barren, barren, and barren.
"Gao Weihu, do you have to do this?" Beitang Jinyu's voice was low, and it seemed to be angry, but it was clearly even more helpless.
Gao Yuhu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she only felt funny when she listened to Beitang Jinyu's question.
Once devoted to him, he imprisoned her and snubbed her, and then she put away her love, but he trampled on her and provoked her, and now her heart is like ashes, and he comes to question himself why he is like this?
"Beitang Jinyu." Although Gao Weihu's heart turned a thousand times, her face did not show at all, she looked at him and said calmly: "You and I are different, you have three palaces, six courtyards and seventy-two concubines, but I can't tolerate it, my heart is free in the rivers and lakes, and you can't tolerate it." ”
"So, you're still thinking about leaving, aren't you?" Beitang Jinyu stared at her closely, not missing any emotion on her face.
"Will you allow it?" Gao Weihu chuckled and looked at her, but the smile was not as good as the bottom of his eyes, and he was sarcastic.
Beitang Jinyu was full of tastes, and he snorted coldly and said, "I don't allow it, so you can stay here in peace." ”
With that, he got up and left, with anger on his face.
