Chapter 265: Hostages
"Sister Xiu, Gu Changge, they escaped."
Gu Liyi entered the palace that night to accompany Gu Mingxiu and slept in the harem. Shen Huai and the others were discussing with General An about sending troops to attack the Song State, so they left Agarwood and Luo Feng alone in the harem.
Regarding Gu Changge's escape, Gu Liyi, like Gu Mingxiu, cared very much. She cared about what Qiao Wu said at the beginning, and refused to accept it no matter how Qiao Wu appeased or defended her.
"yes... After all, there will still be a broken one, and it is better to escape. She likes to do fearless resistance... Let her be, after all, whether it is me or Shen Huai, we are not afraid. Gu Mingxiu hugged her sister in her arms, and her eyes fell on the candle flame behind a thin layer of light veil.
Gu Liyi buried her head in her arms, and struggled out slightly when she heard the words.
She looked at Gu Mingxiu with her eyes open, and asked her in a low voice, "Sister Xiu... You and His Royal Highness King Xiao areβ" She thought for a moment and changed her question, "I always feel that when you mention him, your tone is a little different. β
"Sister embroidery, are you already... Accept him? β
Touching Gu Liyi's long hair, Gu Mingxiu said, "I'm just... Something came to mind. Yiyi, I used to think that God treated me unfairly, but now I feel... I may not be fair to others. Maybe it's just a cycle of cause and effect. β
Listening to her speak, she always felt a little foggy, Gu Mingxiu didn't wait for Gu Liyi to ask, so she lowered her head and looked at her: "What about you?" Are you with Qiao Wu, or... What happened to that Lu Huan. β
Hearing this, Gu Liyi was stunned again, and a little embarrassment and fear appeared in his eyes. Holding her hand, Gu Mingxiu approached her slightly, and said softly, "I know... Qiao Wudu told me about that day. Yiyi, don't be afraid, I think... It's fine, right? β
Being comforted by her so softly, Gu Liyi hesitated for a moment, lowered his head and whispered, "...... I've never thought deeply about these issues before. Joe didn't know anything about me, but..."
She paused for a moment and said softly, "I always thought that Qiao Wu was just a friend to me. That day... I was bullied by them that day, Lu Huan looked at me and hesitated a little strangely... I didn't think much of it, knowing that he was still my friend, but I was a little worried. β
"What scares me the most... But it was Qiao Wuye who looked at me like this. Gu Liyi said in a low voice, with a little complicated emotions in his tone, "But he's the same as ever... Even more caring for me, they called me... Everywhere I felt guilty about him. β
"Sister embroidery... Can guilt and liking be confused? If I don't really like him, it's just, just guilty..."
She was a little flustered, Gu Mingxiu reached out and rubbed her head, and whispered to reassure: "It's okay Yiyi." Are you willing to think about it... That means you're taking this seriously, so I think... Qiao Wu will wait for you, waiting for you to figure it out. β
"After all... It's the right thing to do with someone you like. β
Gu Liyi was quiet for a moment: "With the right people... Will you be happy? If the right people... Not the one you like? β
"No, it won't. The person who makes you like and delight is the right person, and he is with him
Together... You'll be happy. β
Gu Liyi was quiet for a moment, and asked softly, "Sister Xiu... Are you happy? β
"I'm happy now and will be happy in the future."
Song Xuan was arrested, and almost all of the guards who followed him in Dashen were arrested by Gu Jing and others, and the rest of the people either committed suicide in fear of crime or hid somewhere. The Song State could not get the news of Song Xuan, so he naturally sent people to inquire, and later heard the news of Shen Huai's accession to the throne, so he sent an envoy to congratulate the new emperor in the name of congratulating him.
The envoy was detained by Shen Huai in Da Shen, and he didn't care about drafting a war seal for the other party to bring back to the Song Kingdom and officially declare war.
The strategic matters were drawn up overnight, and when the sky was slightly cool, Shen Huai and the others could disperse. General An and the others went down to arrange the matter, Shen Huai went to see the Queen Mother, and then slowly swayed towards Gu Mingxiu's bedroom. After Gu Mingxiu became the queen, she naturally had her own bedroom, and Shen Huai came here for the first time.
The water in the pond was leisurely, and Shen Huai asked the guards behind him to retreat and walk along the path.
Walking to the gate of the palace, the young man's steps paused slightly, and he was slightly stunned.
At the entrance of the main hall, a girl in a cloak stood quietly with a lamphole. She reached out and lifted the lantern in her hand, carefully blowing out the flame in the lantern before slowly lowering it. Gu Mingxiu gathered his clothes slightly, and when he looked up, he saw Shen Huai standing in front of him: "You're back." β
"Why are you ..... here" Shen Huai paused, then reached out to hold Gu Mingxiu's hands, and didn't ask her this question anymore, "I'm going to go directly to the court in a while, and I don't have to stick to these few hours of rest." It's been a long time since I've walked with you, so why don't you take a walk here with me? β
Da Shen turned the world upside down, the first emperor died, and her body was a little unstable..... Gu Mingxiu knew that Shen Huai was tired in his heart, so he just reached out to hold his hand, smiled slightly, and replied obediently: "Okay." β
accompanied him through the imperial city, and when it was time to go to the court, Gu Mingxiu changed his clothes for him with his own hands, and only returned to the palace after seeing him leave. It had been a long time since she woke up, but Gu Liyi still had no intention of waking up. Gu Mingxiu only thought that she was tired recently, so she didn't urge.
It wasn't until it was close to noon, when Gu Liyi still hadn't woken up, that Gu Mingxiu realized that something was wrong.
She couldn't wake up Gu Liyi, so she immediately ordered someone to invite the imperial doctor over. After the imperial doctor checked the pulse, he did not find anything wrong, and there was no way to use the silver needle to make Gu Liyi sober up. After asking Mozhu to send the imperial doctor away, Gu Mingxiu slowly lowered his eyes.
After a while, Master Wuwei was invited into the palace for the first time in a long time.
Ordering everyone to retreat, Gu Mingxiu stood quietly aside and watched Master Wuwei take the pulse. Her eyes were cold, and she quietly waited for him to finish checking his pulse before she said softly: "Senior, I only ask you one ....." After a pause, Gu Mingxiu said, "What do you need me to do to be willing to wake up Yiyi." β
A smile froze on his face, and Master Wuwei sat on the bed, his eyes sharpened. He looked at Gu Mingxiu quietly, and laughed casually: "What did the little girl say?" The old man can't listen to it
Understood. His eyes fell on Gu Mingxiu's face without half a smile, and the atmosphere slowly sank.
Gu Mingxiu said: "It was they who arrested Xiao Wan'er and threatened the seniors.... That's right. β
She asked a question, but her tone was very firm, without any suspicion: "Xiao Wan'er is so young and heavily poisoned, I just don't believe that I am willing to leave her for so long according to the love of my predecessors for her." Since the seniors came.... Most of the things we encounter are related to poison, and it is clear that you are here, but how can you hide your methods of using drugs? β
"I don't ask who did it, I just ask you..." That so-called child didn't exist in the first place. β
Master Wuwei was silent and did not touch his beard again.
After a moment, he laughed softly, put away the joke, and felt a little helpless: "In the end, it's still... The little girl is smart. You're right, Xiao Wan'er was taken away, and it was the old man who didn't protect her. Invite the old man to come over, it is also their expectation, the old man is just to aggravate your condition and cause suspicion and estrangement between you and Shen Huai. Scold.... You were an innocent little girl, naturally there was no pregnancy, and you always had their people by your side, but you didn't know it. When I saw you drinking medicine that day, I put the medicine in your medicine and deliberately poked out the so-called 'pregnancy'. β
"I know that kid likes you, but he doesn't.... Oh, the people of the Shen family are all infatuated. You are pregnant and have a child of unknown origin, but he doesn't mind at all, and he still wants to protect you everywhere, and he deliberately traps you in this Xiao Wangfu.... I have not been able to cause a gap between you, and they have threatened Xiao Wan'er's life..."
"I knew that Shen Huai would come back to save you that day. I've put the medicine on you. β
"I had been taking medicine for Shen Huai before he left, and the medicine had no effect, but with the medicine I put on you that day... It's amazing. I may have let him die in the chaos of that night's fighting, but I know that you will definitely give him the elixir. β
"It's my fault, if you..."
Master Wuwei's voice was slightly hoarse, a little guilty.
Gu Mingxiu interrupted him lightly, and said slowly: "But you sent a secret letter to Agarwood, asking her to go to the suburban lake to save me." You can obviously kill Shen Huai, but you gave me a chance to save him. You could have tied me up to them, but you didn't... Senior, what are you doing to Yiyi again this time? β
His body trembled slightly, and Master Wuwei's voice was slightly hoarse: ".... It's me who is sorry for the Shen family, I'm sorry for you husband and wife, but, but Xiao Wan'er is the only treasure she left, even if she takes my life, I don't want to teach her to have an accident, I can only do that..."
"I don't know what it is, but... But Gu Changge ran away and found someone to pass a message to me. Master Wuwei looked up at her, his tone a little embarrassed
With the unbearable, "... Let you go and see her alone, or else... She won't let go of Xiao Wan'er. β
"I was trying to lie to you... Let you go and find medicine for Gu Liyi, but now, now I can't do anything..."
"Gu Changge wants to see you, there must be some conspiracy, but I can't care so much about it." Master Wuwei flicked his sleeves and sighed lightly, his face was a little gray, "She is now a lost dog, and there are no people on her side, so why can't you... But Xiao Wan'er is different, she is still so young, she has never even left me. Now, now, she's being ...
"Princess Xiao, Queen Mother, I beg you to be old-"
"It's impossible."
Understated, with a slightly faint angry tone, slowly sounded from behind.
