Chapter 65: Imprisonment
The wind blew the queen's phoenix robe, the pearls on her head touched, and the woman with gentle eyebrows slowly sank her face, and a pair of eyes fell on the two people in front of her with a stern scrutiny, without saying a word.
The woman kneeling on the ground was disheveled, pushed out by the guards and was grabbing her clothes to wrap her body, barely hiding the spring light on her chest, but the marks on her neck were clear, and the marks on her chest were also particularly conspicuous under the half-hanging clothes. Her skirt was unbuttoned, and the straps were dragging behind her.
The woman's hair was messy, her red lips were slightly swollen, her dress was stained with a lot of dust, and her body was trembling slightly. Gu Xuan knelt beside her, his clothes had not yet been tied. The discerning person saw the appearance of the two of them, and knew what was going on at a glance.
The Son of Heaven's eagle eyes were heavy, and he kicked down the table at his feet: "Have you eaten the bear's heart and leopard's gall?!" How dare you do such a shameless thing in the Imperial Garden! β
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Seeing this, Mrs. Liu hurriedly rushed out, knelt in front of the two, pointed at Gu Xuan and trembled, "The little girl has always been knowledgeable and reasonable, and she has never had much contact with men!" It is inevitable, it must be that the eldest young master of the Gu family forced the little girl, and this is ......" She glared at Gu Xuan, and immediately her eyes turned red, "Say!" Did you force my daughter?! You ruined her innocence, didn't you?! β
Without waiting for Gu Xuan to answer, Gu Qingyuan had already bowed down at the feet of the Son of Heaven and was categorical: "Your Majesty, Xuan'er has always been polite to others, and she never dared to overstep half a point with women." He is strict with himself and would never do such a thing! β
"You're ridiculous!" Mrs. Liu was immediately furious, but Liu Shilang also knelt down, glaring at Gu Qingyuan and said, "My daughter is so weak, if your son is strong, how can she resist it?!" β
"Liu Shilang, Mrs. Liu, I didn't say that it was Xuan'er who was seduced by Ling Qianjin, I just wanted to ask for a fair fact."
Gu Qingyuan turned his head and his eyebrows tightened: "Xuan'er!" What the hell is going on?! β
Standing in the crowd and staring at the anxiety in Gu Qingyuan's eyes, Gu Mingxiu casually hooked the corners of his lips, revealing a few sneering smiles. This is Gu Qingyuan's most beloved son, even in the face of the Son of Heaven, he dares to come forward to intercede. In the past, when faced with a colleague's complaint, he punished Gu Jing without even asking about right and wrong.
But Gu Qingyuan, how unfair you were in the past, you have to watch Gu Xuan die today.
Gu Mingxiu's expression was cold, hidden in the dark, and there was a faint hint of killing intent that was fleeting. The night wind was cold, Gu Li leaned closer to her, raised his hand to clasp Gu Mingxiu's hand, and called softly: "Sister embroidery." She stared at Gu Mingxiu's drooping eyes, and did not hide her worry at all, "Sister Xiu, do you want it?" β
Her voice was very soft, and it was muffled by the dispute between Gu Qingyuan and Mrs. Liu. Everyone only watched the drama on the Son of Heaven's side, and they didn't have the time to pay attention to the movement here.
Gu Mingxiu smiled silently at Gu Liyi. She approached Gu Liyi and whispered in her ear: "Yiyi, look at it, this is the first one." It is also the beginning of this revenge, they... I can't escape. β
Gu Liyi pursed her lips, and then nodded solemnly.
With a light sound, Gu Mingxiu raised his eyes and saw a young man wearing a mask not far away. The eyes of the two met her, she was very calm, but the other party picked an interested smile for her, faintly with a bit of inquiry and coldness.
The young man's eyes were cold and gloomy, and he smiled a little, but there was no impurity.
He smiled casually at Gu Mingxiu, stood with his arms crossed, tapped his arms lightly with his fingertips, and his eyes flowed thoughtfully on her.
Gu Mingxiu blinked and looked away.
As if impatient with this quarrel, the queen frowned slightly and interrupted slowly: "Don't quarrel." After a moment of silence, she turned her gaze away, fell on Miss Liu, who was sobbing in a low voice, and said softly, "Miss Liu, don't cry." What the hell is going on, this palace wants to hear what you have to say. β
Miss Liu, who was named, was shocked, tears flowed non-stop, and she could only shake her head helplessly: "I....I don't know....I...." Raising his eyes, his gaze fell on Dong Zhiyue like a help, but he caught a glimpse of Gu Mingxiu not far away.
Her thoughts were intermittent, and Miss Liu was extremely sad, and suddenly pointed at Gu Mingxiu and said, "It's her!" She was the one who framed me! Miss Liu's fingers were trembling, but her tone was very affirmative, "It's Gu Fu!" It was the third lady of the Gu Mansion who said that she was going to the toilet, and I was kind enough to accompany her, but I didn't want to....but I didn't want to be calculated by Miss Gu Si! β
was pointed at by Miss Liu, and suddenly all eyes fell on Gu Mingxiu.
The girl blinked her autumn-like eyes, there was no trace of panic, confusion was fleeting at the bottom of her eyes, and her face was only a little soft and sympathetic. She sighed, patted An Li's hand soothingly, moved lightly, walked out of the crowd, and saluted the Son of Heaven and the Queen before speaking slowly.
Gu Mingxiu said: "Miss Liu, it is indeed as you said, it is you who accompany me and the third sister. However, after the third sister went, you proposed to walk aside, and I agreed to you. Just walking, Miss Liu disappeared, I couldn't find you, and I didn't know the way, so I had to wait in the same place, and then I met someone else, which led me here. β
After she finished speaking, she raised her eyes to look at one place.
The queen followed her gaze and saw a little maid standing not far away. She bowed her head and motioned for the little maid to step forward, and the maid stepped forward to bless her body, and said, "It was the slave maid who brought the fourth lady here, because the fourth lady didn't know the way, and she has been wandering in the back garden." β
The queen nodded, and she withdrew. Gu Mingxiu just stood there quietly, neither humble nor arrogant, her eyes were clean and pure. She was silent, her face gentle, and she looked as if she had been innocently involved. Everyone looked at her soft back, and felt that the little girl was completely innocent, and when she fell on Miss Liu, she was a little more disdainful.
"You... You're all in a good way! Isn't it?! Seeing this, Miss Liu only felt humiliated in her heart, her fingers wrapped in clothes trembled for a moment, and she suddenly stood up and pounced on Gu Mingxiu, and said angrily, "You hurt me!" You're the ones who hurt me! β
She was crazy, her eyes were red, and she pounced on Gu Mingxiu like she didn't want to die, and she was so shocked that her hands and feet were cold: "Xiu'er!" β
Gu Mingxiu frowned lightly and retreated quickly. However, Miss Liu's movements were too sudden, and she was not prepared for anything. Just as Miss Liu was about to pounce, a figure easily grabbed her waist and kicked Miss Liu out with her feet.
The lazy young man on his face stared at the girl who was kicked out and vomited blood, and his expression did not have the slightest sympathy: "The emperor and queen dare to be presumptuous in front of them, but you are very bold." β
An Li rushed out and took Gu Mingxiu from King Xiao's hand, his body was almost trembling: "Xiu'er, Xiu'er, how are you?" β
This change shocked everyone, and Xiao Wang Shen Huai stood lazily and lazily, without any reaction. The Son of Heaven raised his eyes and glanced at him thoughtfully, his gaze swept over Gu Mingxiu without a trace, and a little deep meaning was fleeting.
The queen quietly took the expressions of several people into her eyes, and just said gently: "I heard that Miss Gu Si's health is not very good, so the palace was negligent and frightened Miss Si, why don't you ask the imperial doctor to take a look at Miss Si?" She didn't wait for a few people to react, so she ordered someone to invite An Li's mother and daughter down, "The palace is tired, so I will leave first." β
Her smiling eyes swept over Shen Huai, and she walked away with An Li's mother and daughter with light steps.
Shen Huai's gaze quietly followed Gu Mingxiu: "........"
The Son of Heaven glanced at Shen Huai meaningfully, sneered, and said in an indifferent tone: "Doing such a shameless thing in the imperial garden is in vain, and it has ruined the queen's interest in flower appreciation, Gu Aiqing, Liu Aiqing, you raised a good son and a good daughter." The Son of Heaven flicked his sleeves and said indifferently, "Fornicating in the harem, hurting customs, imprisoned in the prison, and killed by the cane on the next day." β
He didn't listen to a single explanation, so he walked away.
Everyone froze, and Miss Liu fainted directly and was dragged down. Gu Qingyuan knelt on the ground, watching Gu Xuan being escorted away, only to feel that it was dark in front of him and fainted. Gu Changge screamed and pounced crying.
Shen Qingqing stared at the appearance of several people, sneered, and turned around with Mrs. Shen in her arms.
Regarding the result of this matter, Gu Mingxiu didn't know at the moment, but not knowing it didn't mean that he couldn't guess. She was taken to a side hall where she was seen only after the imperial doctor had her pulse checked.
An Li was instructed to chat with others outside, but Gu Mingxiu was the only one inside.
Without waiting for her to salute, the queen asked her with a smile: "Do you know King Xiao?" She sat opposite Gu Mingxiu with an extremely funny smile on her face, "That kid has always been naughty. I saw this kind of thing in the past, and I left early, and today I stayed to watch the play, and I want to come....for you? β
Gu Mingxiu was slightly stunned, and there was a faint feeling of uneasiness in his heart: "The courtiers are only with His Royal Highness King Xiaoββ"
"I heard the prince also mention you, and when I saw you today, you are really a wonderful person." The queen suddenly changed the topic, the smile on her face deepened, and she patted her hand even more kindly, "The prince, this child, has always been thin-faced, but he never dared to mention the girl he liked, for fear of scaring others, I-"
Before he finished speaking, a cold voice sounded at the door: "The fourth young lady of the Gu Mansion hasn't gone back yet?" β
The queen was stunned, and then stood up with Gu Mingxiu, and saluted with a smile: "This kid likes me very much when he looks at me, and he keeps saying a few more words, but he forgets the time." β
"Oh?" The Son of Heaven had a cold voice.
The queen sighed and let go of Gu Mingxiu's hand, and said soothingly: "It's late today, the palace will send someone to send you back." After some time, I will summon you to the palace to talk to the palace. β
"The courtiers retired." Gu Mingxiu didn't seem to understand the hint in the queen's tone, so she slowly saluted and went out with the little maid. Her eyes were cold, and she didn't relax when she left the main hall.
The queen has never been an easy person to deal with, and in her previous life, she gave her a lot of pressure openly and secretly. She loves the prince, and pretends to be good to her on the surface, but behind the scenes, she has a lot of small means.
In this life....is it with such an idea, so that she plans to make a stepping stone for the prince.
Gu Mingxiu raised his eyes indifferently and stared at the pitch-black void, only feeling very ridiculous for a while.
"Stand down."
A careless command sounded in his ears, and the little maid who led the way blessed her body and bent down to retreat. Gu Mingxiu lowered her eyes, and saw King Xiao who was leaning on the pillar in front of her and looking at her with a faint expression.
He said, "You shouldn't have done it tonight and attracted the attention of others." β
Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
