With an expressionless face, he said: "Can we use this sentence to ignore our own duties?" Isn't this a son of man and a daughter in vain? Is Father-in-law Gao educating the little girl to be unfilial? Hearing this, Grandpa Gao's face changed suddenly, but the next moment, he said with a flattering smile: "What is the second lady talking about!" The minion is just to comfort you, and there is absolutely no sideline! If the slave said the wrong thing, ask the second lady to atone for her sins. ”

Gu Ruoxi snorted coldly, then turned his head away, and didn't pay attention to Gonggong Gao anymore.

Grandpa Gao was bored, and it was quite embarrassing to stand there. But this is not a way, the emperor ordered him to come, there is something important to do.

Thinking about it, Father-in-law Gao gritted his teeth, and said loudly at the moment: "Second Miss Gu, you don't want to listen to our family's persuasion." However, the emperor ordered our family to thoroughly investigate the cause of death of Jinye Hou, and asked the second lady to cooperate with His Royal Highness King Jing. ”

"Then Father-in-law Gao can go back and talk to the emperor." Gu Ruoxi turned his head and replied coldly: "My father was killed by my eldest brother with his own hands, I saw it with my own eyes, do I still need evidence?" ”

"Really?" When Gao Gonggong heard this, he was immediately taken aback.

Gu Ruoxi nodded and said indifferently: "Naturally, take it seriously!" ”

Gonggong Gao glanced at Gu Ruoxi with a shocked expression, and asked with a stammer: "Then, what about the prince?" Our family is going to take him back to the palace......"

"Then Grandpa Gao is afraid that he will have to prepare a stretcher." Gu Ruoxi said coldly: "You have to carry him away." "Tugang sarcastic.

"Why is that?" Grandpa Gao was shocked again. When he left the palace, he only got the news that Jinye Hou had died, who would have thought that this would be a homicide, and the murderer was still a close relative of the deceased! Thinking of the words that the emperor mentioned in front of Jinye Hou intentionally or unintentionally during this time, Gao Gonggong's eyes flashed, but he didn't say anything more.

"Because he's dead." Gu Ruoxi said indifferently: "And it was killed by my own hands!" The father-in-law can go back and report to the emperor. "Finished. Gu Ruoxi turned his head to face the mourning hall, and didn't look at Gonggong Gao again.

"What, what? You were killed by the second lady? It can't be, right? This news was even more terrifying than the previous two, and Grandpa Gao was directly frightened and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately he was supported by someone on the side.

It was easy to stand firm, and he immediately glanced at Gu Ruoxi with a look of disbelief, and weighed in his heart how likely it was that this delicate and weak daughter would kill someone with her own hands.

Until now, Gao Gonggong didn't believe in it. He only thought that all this was made up by Gu Ruoxi himself! The purpose is to protect the real murderer who personally killed Gu Shizi.

Thinking about it, he turned his head and glanced at Xuanyuan Jingxi on the side without a trace.

If Gonggong Gao had seen Gu Xiaoye's corpse with his own eyes, he would never have such thoughts again.

"Father-in-law Gao. You don't have to doubt what I'm saying. Gu Ruoxi raised her head and glanced at Father-in-law Gao, and said

He said coldly: "He killed my father, and I am avenging my father!" Gu Xiaoye must die! Bring this to the emperor! ”

"So, is this serious?" Gao Gonggong saw that her expression did not seem to be fake, and he had a little belief in his heart at the moment, but the horror in his heart was even more.

"Naturally, take it seriously!" Gu Ruoxi replied a little impatiently, and said quite politely when he heard this: "Father-in-law, let's go back and report to the emperor quickly!" The Hou Mansion has a lot of affairs, and I really don't have time to entertain my father-in-law. ”

This is the eviction order.

When Gonggong Gao heard this, his face immediately showed an uncomfortable expression, to be honest, Gu Ruoxi was so faceless, he really wanted to slam the door and leave, but when he remembered the emperor's request. He forcibly endured the unhappiness in his heart.

"Second Miss Gu, Master Hou passed away with the son, this is a shocking event! Coming with our family today, there are also two imperial doctors in the palace, don't rush us away first, or ask the imperial doctors to open the coffin for the Hou Ye for an autopsy! Otherwise, there is no way to go back and report to the emperor. "Gao Gonggong said in a negative way, at this moment, he was too lazy to put on a smiling face.

Gu Ruoxi was not surprised by this, she had long known that it was absolutely impossible for the emperor to send only one Gao Gonggong here, and said indifferently when she heard this: "You want to conduct an autopsy?" What if I disturb my father's spirit in heaven? ”

When Gonggong Gao heard this, his face was a little stiff, and he said helplessly: "Then I can only ask the Hou Ye to atone for my sins, this is the emperor's order, and our family can't ...... it."

"Well, then, if I stop you from opening the coffin for an autopsy. Is that still a disobedience? Gu Ruoxi said in a cool tone.

Hearing this, Gonggong Gao hurriedly said; "Second Miss, that's not what our family meant!"

When Gu Ruoxi heard this, he smiled sarcastically and said, "That's it, if you want to test it, then test it!" It's just—" As she spoke, she changed her words and said, "Whoever opened the coffin will give my father three hundred rings in a row!" ”

When Gonggong Gao heard this, his face changed suddenly, and he said helplessly: "Second Miss, this is not good......

"Then don't open it!" Gu Ruoxi turned his head and glanced at Gonggong Gao with a mocking gaze, and said, "This is the condition that the father-in-law does not agree to the courtiers, but it is not that the courtiers are disrespectful, please go back!" As she spoke, she stood up, walked to the spirit, lit a stick of incense, and bowed a few times, obviously not taking Gao Gonggong seriously at all.

Gao Gonggong stood there, his face was blue and white, his identity represented the emperor, where was the close minister next to the emperor kowtowing to the minister? Wouldn't it be a joke to say it?

But if they don't, they won't want to do an autopsy today......

In desperation, Gonggong Gao turned his head, glanced at Xuanyuan Jingxi, and said in a pleading tone: "His Royal Highness King Jing, you can't watch the second young lady be so willful and mess around, can you?" How about you say something? ”

"Father-in-law Gao, this king is just guarding the spirit of his father-in-law, and he doesn't care about the rest of the things, and he can't take care of it, if his father-in-law has anything to say, just discuss it with Xi'er! She is the daughter of the Hou Ye

。 Xuanyuan Jingxi heard this, turned his head and glanced at Gonggong Gao, and said expressionlessly.

Didn't even help him? When Gonggong Gao heard this, the expression on his face couldn't help but become even more ugly, but there was nothing he could do. After all, Jinye Hou is a first-class marquis, although he has passed away, but the majesty is still there, who dares to make noise in front of his mourning hall?

But he can't just go back, right? If you go back, don't you have to be sprayed to death by the emperor's saliva?

For the sake of his own life, Gonggong Gao gritted his teeth, and finally lowered his invincible head and gritted his teeth and said: "Master Hou has worked for the country and the people all his life, and he has done his best, and after he died, our family kowtowed three hundred times for him, which should have been!" As he spoke, he strode over and knelt down on a futon in front of the mourning hall, and began to kowtow at 1510.

Gu Ruoxi gave Amber on the side a look, and ordered her to count, if she didn't knock enough three hundred rings, she would never give up!

Xuanyuan Jingxi saw Gu Ruoxi's appearance, but he was helpless in his heart. On this eventful time, it is really not appropriate to clash with the people around the emperor. This time he annoyed Father-in-law Gao, maybe he wanted to get some small shoes behind his back for Gu Ruoxi to wear. Gu Ruoxi has always been thoughtful in her work, but this time, she was so willful.

Xuanyuan Jingxi couldn't bear to blame her, especially when Jinye Hou had just died, he knew that she must be very sad in her heart, so she would be willful, if she did this, it would make her feel better, then do it!

No matter what, he is firmly on her side!

"Two hundred and eighty, two hundred and eighty-one ......" Half an hour later, Gao Gonggong finally finished kowtowing three hundred rings, and when he stopped, he fell directly to the ground softly, gasping for breath.

Gu Ruoxi glanced at him lightly and asked, "Father-in-law Gao, are you okay?" ”

"Our family is fine...... "Father-in-law Gao waved his hand and said angrily at the little eunuch beside him: "Are you rice buckets?" Why don't you help my father-in-law up? He vented all his resentment against Gu Ruoxi on the little eunuch.

"Father-in-law, where did you get such a big fire?" Gu Ruoxi waved his hand and said indifferently.

Father-in-law Gao was helped up by the little eunuch, and when he heard Gu Ruoxi's words that were neither yin nor yang, the expression on his face froze, and he didn't bother to play any more amiable old man, so he only asked indifferently: "Second Miss Gu, can our family order someone to come in and open the coffin for an autopsy now?" ”

"There's no hurry. The opening of the museum is the greatest disrespect to the deceased. It is important to be cautious in this matter. When Gu Ruoxi heard this, he glanced lazily at Grandpa Gao, turned his head to Aunt Xu and asked, "Auntie, if you want to open the museum, everyone needs to bathe in incense and devote themselves to praying for blessings, right?" ”

Aunt Xu didn't know why Gu Ruoxi repeatedly prevented Gao Gong from making the coffin autopsy public, but she knew that if she did this, it would indeed be bad for Master Hou, and she didn't want this kind of thing to happen. At that moment, she nodded and said, "Not bad! According to the customary rites, it is indeed so

Shower and change clothes. ”

"In that case, then Grandpa Gao, please? You and the people you brought, everyone has to go to the guest room to bathe and change clothes before the coffin can be opened. Hearing this, Gu Ruoxi turned his head and glanced at Gonggong Gao, and said.

When Gao Gonggong heard this, he almost wanted to faint! Why was he so unlucky? The emperor is still waiting for news in the palace! He bathed and changed his clothes, maybe this eccentric second lady would come up with any ideas, and when he returned to the palace late, he would also be blamed by the emperor!

"Grandpa Gao doesn't seem to want to bathe? Then please come back! At this moment, Gu Ruoxi said lazily.

When Jin Yehou heard this, the expression on his face froze, and his voice couldn't help but turn cold: "Second Miss Gu, if you do this, you don't want to give the emperor a son, right?" You want to kowtow, our family has kowtowed for 300 times! What else do you want? If you have any aftermath after bathing, you can tell me together! ”

"Father-in-law, didn't you say it yourself, my father did his best for the country and the people, and he died. He is such a hero, shouldn't he be treated with the greatest respect after his death? Gu Ruoxi said coldly: "It's just that you bathe and burn incense and kowtow, you can't stand it?" Is this the attitude that should be taken towards heroes? ”

"Second Miss is serious! We definitely don't mean that! Father-in-law Gao was covered with cold sweat and hurriedly said, "Isn't it possible for our family to bathe?" ”

"Good!" Gu Ruoxi responded, and immediately turned her head to Aunt Xu and said, "Auntie, please send someone to send Grandpa Gao and the others to the guest room to bathe." ”

"Yes, miss." Aunt Xu replied in a low voice, and she also felt very cool in her heart, especially when Gu Ruoxi asked him what Father-in-law Gao had said.

When Gonggong Gao was leaving, he glanced at Gu Ruoxi suspiciously.

This second miss Gu has a kind! How dare you embarrass him so much, and see how he will report to the emperor when he goes back...... After a full hour, Gao Gonggong finished burning incense and bathed and hurried back from the guest room.

When he entered the door, the mourning hall was still the same as when he left, Gu Ruoxi and Xuanyuan Jingxi knelt side by side on the futon in front of the mourning hall, mourning silently. Aunt Xu was busy handling chores outside.

"Second Miss, can you open the coffin now?" Grandpa Gao's tone no longer had the ease and comfort that he had when he first entered the door, on the contrary, there was a thick resentment all over his body.

Gu Ruoxi didn't look at him, but said indifferently: "Father-in-law Gao, please put a stick of incense on my father!" The coffin can be opened immediately. Gu Ruoxi said, slowly getting up from the futon.

"Good!" Compared with the previous conditions, it was just a stick of incense, which was already the simplest thing, although Gao Gonggong was extremely impatient in his heart, he still responded without thinking.

"Father-in-law, please." Gu Ruoxi made a gesture of please.

Gao Gonggong immediately stepped forward, took incense and lit it, and inserted it after worshipping

In the censer.

After that, Gu Ruoxi waved his hand, and immediately a few guards came in from the courtyard. After kowtowing to Kageha Hou a few times in front of the spirit, he got up and went to open the coffin parked in the back hall.

Grandpa Gao immediately walked towards the back hall, and halfway through, he remembered Imperial Physician Xu and Imperial Physician Liang outside, and hurriedly called the two of them in.

Gu Ruoxi also followed, she wanted to see with her own eyes, what did these people want to do to Jinye Hou?

Xuanyuan Jingxi has always been by her side.

With the creaking sound of the coffin moving, soon, the sleeping brocade in the coffin was exposed to everyone's eyes. Although he experienced such a tragic scene before he died. But his expression was very clear.

Father-in-law Gao lay on the side of the coffin, until he was sure that the person in the coffin was Jinye Hou, he was greatly relieved, great! Now go back. He won't be blamed by the emperor!

And Xu Liang, the two imperial doctors, had already stretched out their hands and began to test the Jinye Hou.

Gu Ruoxi saw their appearance on the side, and said coldly: "Don't check it, the wound is in the chest, it was pierced by a sharp blade, you should check it quickly, don't stay too long." ”

Xu Liang's hands couldn't help but stiffen, and then the next moment they both nodded at Gu Ruoxi, and reached out to touch Jin Yehou's chest.

Sure enough, there were traces of being pierced by a sharp blade!

"Master Hou was really assassinated by a sword!" Imperial Physician Xu's expression became excited, and he was busy tearing open the clothes on the front chest of Jinye Hou, wanting to test it thoroughly, but at this moment, he heard Gu Ruoxi's cold voice: "Slow! ”

Listened to this. The two imperial doctors immediately turned around, glanced at Gu Ruoxi, and said in surprise: "Second Miss Gu, why is this?" ”

Gu Ruoxi said coldly: "The clothes on my father's body were changed with great difficulty, do you want to tear them apart?" Not to mention that this is very disrespectful to my father, just to say that this dress is torn, Imperial Doctor Xu, do you personally change my father's clothes? ”

After a person dies, it is necessary to change clothes as soon as possible while the corpse is not stiff, otherwise when the corpse is stiff, the clothes will not be able to be worn.

When Imperial Physician Xu heard this, his face froze, and he hurriedly said, "Second Miss, it is inevitable that this will require an autopsy and destroy clothes. Please Haihan ......"

"You can say that to ordinary people, but my father is a first-class prince, why do you destroy his clothes?" Gu Ruoxi said in a cold tone: "Don't the imperial doctors claim to be highly skilled in medicine, and they can also see the wound without undressing?" Please, right? ”

When Xu Liang heard this, they both showed helpless expressions on their faces, and they turned their heads to look at Gonggong Gao, waiting for him to show them.

Gao Gonggong glanced at Gu Ruoxi fixedly, and unexpectedly found that this girl's eyes also had a faint fire-breathing posture, and he understood that this girl was also angry in her heart! But what the hell is she angry about? Could it be that the emperor is the mastermind behind all this?

Come to think of this

, Gao Gonggong's heart was cold, and he was busy saying to the two imperial doctors; "Since the second lady said that the partition inspection, then do as she said!"

"Yes, father-in-law!" When Xu Liang heard this, he hurriedly responded, and immediately checked the wound through his clothes, they were experienced people, and he almost probed the wounds on Jinye Hou's body through his clothes.

After a while, the two imperial doctors withdrew their hands and said to Gonggong Gao: "The situation is not much different from what the second lady said, Master Hou was indeed pierced through the chest and abdomen by a sharp blade from behind, so he died." ”

Gonggong Gao had actually expected this to be the case, because there was no need for Gu Ruoxi to deceive him in this matter. He nodded, and immediately said, "Since that's the case, then let's go out first!" Let Hou Ye rest as soon as possible is the most important thing. ”

This time, he finally did the right thing.

At that moment, everyone retreated outside, Gu Ruoxi personally stretched out his hand, tidied up the messy clothes for Jinye Hou, and looked at him carefully for a while, and then tearfully ordered someone to re-cover the coffin.

For a while, everyone retreated outside, and Father-in-law Gao looked at Gu Ruoxi's red eyes, his eyes flashed, and said, "Second Miss, where is the body of the prince?" Let our family take the two imperial doctors to have a check-up. ”

"His corpse is parked in Songtao Garden, since Gonggong Gao wants to see it, then take someone with him! The little girl still has to keep a vigil for her father, so she will not go. Gu Ruoxi said indifferently.

When Gonggong Gao saw Gu Ruoxi's expression, he understood that she had hated Gu Xiaoye in her heart, and she didn't want to see him at all. This is in line with what I said before.
