Chapter 557: Xiuxiu's Death

After the noisy crowd in Xiuxiu's room dispersed, it became extremely quiet, Ji Gongyan sat on the edge of Xiuxiu's bed and looked at her who was already pale lying on the bed, since the last time he came to Huachen Hall to ask Xiuxiu the truth about the whole thing, Ji Gongyu found one thing, he always knew that Xiuxiu had never loved him, but he never knew who the person who lived in Xiuxiu's heart was? He once suspected that it would be a digging outburst, and sometimes he would think that it could not be Zheng Boyou, right?

It wasn't until now that he realized that Xiuxiu was living in her heart with Empress Bao and Bofu, although she didn't know what kind of feelings it was, but later she was indeed using this feeling to anger Ji Gongyan, and finally anger herself, or her death was because she felt that she was an unforgivable sinner. 【Latest chapter reading. 】

Xiuxiu left a suicide note, with only a few words in it, she told Ji Gong that even if she was a wild goose wandering in the sky, what she wanted was not the sky, but the mind of an emperor. Even though Empress Bao left the palace with a lot of resentment towards Ji Gongyan, how unwilling she was to turn back now, what she wanted was by no means freedom, just a step for King Zhou. Xiuxiu said that she and Empress Bao were masters and servants after all, and she couldn't expect Empress Bao to preside over her funeral by herself, but she hoped that after her death, Empress Bao could come with a bouquet of flowers, telling her that she had already forgiven her young and naΓ―ve behavior.

Xiuxiu never told Ji Gongyu why she committed suicide, but Ji Gongyu also understood Xiuxiu's meaning, her departure was a new life, and she said goodbye to her past self completely. People's feelings really can't be used casually, this is not the same item, but a naked heart, Ji Gongyan held Xiuxiu's suicide note, sat on the edge of her bed and felt heartache, if she didn't casually pull Xiuxiu into the water, why watch her and Bao Xi turn against each other today? Bao Xi's departure made Xiuxiu wake up from her dream, and then lived in pain and self-blame, and finally couldn't stand the pressure, and in order to save everything she had missed, she chose to leave this world, and paved a step for Ji Gongyan, even if she felt that Ji Gongyan was no longer worthy of Bao Xi's love, but Bao Xi loved him, this is the reality.

Ji Gongyan worked by Xiuxiu's bedside all night, and the next day it was slightly bright before he finally got up and walked towards the door, and when he walked to the door, he immediately came forward to ask Ji Gongyan, "How to handle Mrs. Zheng's funeral?" ”

"Let's be buried next to the grave of Mrs. Zheng in the past!" Ji Gongyu sighed and said.

"Huh?" There was some surprise.

"So that she can have a companion on the road, and she won't be alone." Ji Gong said.

Xiren nodded, "Yes, the slave will arrange it, which lady will be called to take care of Mrs. Zheng's funeral?" Although he asked so, but now there is only one lady left in the harem, this seems to be a question that does not need to be asked at all, Ji Gongyan also thought seriously for a moment, as if there were really several ladies in the harem, and finally said to this person, "Call Dazaigong to take care of this matter." ”

"Yes!" The person responded, and then told Ji Gongyan the news he heard that night, "I heard that Mrs. Zheng also went to Shenhou before leaving, does the king want to go to Shenhou?" ”

Ji Gongyan thought for a moment, and seemed to have guessed what Xiuxiu and Empress Shen said, so he shook his head, "There's no need to go!" ”

"Isn't the king curious about whether what Empress Shen said is true or false?" He asked.

"If the widow has the answer in his own heart, why should he ask other people for their conclusions?" Ji Gongyan sighed and said, how easy to understand this truth, but to do what he said, the price paid was too much, and he didn't say much, turned around and went in the direction of Dazaigong, and Ji Gongyan walked to the front hall with extremely heavy steps, the court discussion was still continuing, the war between Inu Rong and Qin had not yet come to an end, the Shenchu Alliance seemed to be still haunting the south, and Ji Qiu, who had just become the Jin Bo, insisted on confronting the king...... When there is no quiet in the world, when the king does not stop, he sits on the front hall and overlooks the scholars and doctors below, and his heart is stunned, even if he is dissatisfied with this life, even if he is farther and farther away from what he desires in his heart, this is the mission given to him by God, and he is selected among thousands of people, he can't let go, and he can't let go, people can fail, can be sacrificed, can be successful, and can be miserable in this life...... But you just can't run away from the responsibility that should have belonged to you.

"Lu Shangqing?" Ji Gongyan sat in the front hall and said.

"Wechen is here!" Lu Zhang took a step forward, and bowed to Ji Gongyan with both hands.

"How's the investigation of Sima Yongzhi's case?" Ji Gongyu asked.

"Weichen has indeed found evidence of Sima Yongzhi's correspondence with the dog Rong, and this time the dog Rong attacked the Western Qin because Sima Yongzhi communicated with the Rong master, and took advantage of the fact that the main force of the Western Qin was transferred to the border of Shen and Chu, and the people involved in this case are already under trial." Lu Zhang reported, "There is another matter to report to the king!" ”

"Say ......," Ji Gong said.

"During the interrogation, Sima Yongzhi's accomplices have already admitted that Wen Shuo was framed and wronged by them, and asked the king to make decisions for Wen Shuo and return his innocence!" Lu Zhang said.

Ji Gongyan rubbed his temples, "Do you know the whereabouts of Wen Shuo now?" ”

"Weichen doesn't know, but Wen Shuo was once a general of Zheng Guo, if he was imprisoned for injustice, he should return to Zheng Guo after being released from prison, and Wei Chen has already sent someone to Zheng Guo to inquire, I heard that Wen Shuo may have gone to find Zheng Bo on his back to overturn the case for himself!" Lu Zhang said, this was discussed with Ji Gongyan early in the morning, and after Lu Zhang's words, Ji Gongyan also sat up straight and bowed slightly, "In this case, first recall Zheng Bo from the land of northern Jin, and the Great Zhou soldiers and horses in northern Jin will be temporarily stationed, and the two cities in northern Jin will be exchanged for Jin Bo!" ”

"Yes!" Lu Zhang ordered.

"Mrs. Zheng hanged herself in Huachen Palace, so this matter will be handled by Dazaigong, right?" Ji Gongyan dealt with the matter, and then talked about Xiuxiu's death last night, as soon as these words came out, all the scholars were a little surprised, and talked about it in a low voice, for Xiuxiu's bizarre death, there seems to be another deep meaning, as if her death was pushed to the edge of the cliff, and she had to fight to fall to pieces, all of them looked at Ji Gongyan with a deep gaze, if someone died in the harem in the past, the first person to suspect everyone must be the queen, But now everyone is suspicious of this great king.

In the final analysis, the departure of the Empress Bao is inseparable from the competition of these harem women, Mrs. Chu is dead, Mrs. Zheng is dead, and how long Mrs. Wei can live is simply a mystery. When Lu Zhang heard this, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Weichen obeys!" ”

"Buried next to Mrs. Zheng's tomb as a lady!" Ji Gong said.

"Yes!" Lu Zhang responded, "Yesterday, Empress Shen came to Dazai's palace and said something to Weichen. ”

"What?" Ji Gongyu asked.

"Shen Hou was poisoned that day, almost died, Shen Hou woke up and did not identify the murderer, until yesterday I came to Dazai Palace to Wei Chen and told Wei Chen that the case was done by Mrs. Chu alone, Mrs. Chu poisoned her food, she was poisoned and died without noticing, as for why Empress Bao appeared at the scene later, in Shen Hou's vague memory, Empress Bao rushed to it because she was afraid that she would be poisoned, but she was hit by Yu Shangqing and his party, and misunderstood that Bao Hou killed!" Lu Zhang also told this matter, originally he didn't have any hope that he could overturn the case for Bao Xi, but he didn't expect that Empress Shen could tell the cause and effect of the matter as it was, which really saved Lu Zhang a lot of trouble.

This incident caused the court to fall silent again, and everyone looked at each other silently.

Ji Gongyan took a deep breath, frowned tightly and closed his eyes and raised his head, the case of the Empress Zheng is now settled, but the Empress of Praise and his people don't know where they went, after a long time, he calmed down and looked at Lu Zhang and just ordered, "Urgently summon Uncle Zheng back!" Mrs. Zheng was once from Zheng Guo, and he should also put a stick of incense on Mrs. Zheng after her death! ”

"Yes!" Lu Zhang responded.

"Retreat!" Ji Gongyan waved his hand tiredly, pressed one hand on his forehead, the thoughts in his heart were surging, and he couldn't be at peace for a moment, he missed Bao Xi so much, but he didn't know where she was, and he didn't know if Zheng Bo would see Bao Xi as he wished this time when he entered Beijing, if he had to make a choice among the rivers and mountains, and the beauties...... Thinking of this, the king of Zhou shook his head, if Bao Xi's existence was to make him abandon the country, would he still love her?

It's too difficult, what kind of love does it take to get to this point?

A month later, Zheng Boyou was ordered to enter Beijing. In this month, a lot of unexpected things happened to Ji Gongyan, and letting Qin Bo win and return Qin was actually a last resort, if it weren't for Bofu's actions to disrupt normal chess, in fact, this King of Zhou could play less embarrassed. After winning and returning to Qin, Baili Cheng was ordered to withdraw the army from the border of Shen State, and resisted the junction of Shen State and Qin State with the original power of Baocheng, and the main force of Qin soldiers led by Bai Licheng all retreated and defended to resist the attack of Dog Rong, and severely damaged the division of Dog Rong several times, which surprised Ji Gongyan, he thought that Win Kai would discuss an armistice agreement with Dog Rong, but things did not develop in this most pessimistic direction?

Not only that, Baili Cheng also sent back a war report from the border of Shen State, and did not forget to report the situation of the Shen and Chu coalition forces to Ji Gongyan at this moment, and even formed an alliance with the Nanban, once the Chu State was unfavorable to the Great Zhou, the Nanban would wave his army north to restrain the south of the Chu State, which made Xiong Yi feel panicked. The alliance between Chu and Shen is Ji Gongyan's method of making a plan, so that Chu Guo sold Shen Guo a face, so that Shen State is equivalent to indirect control in his own hands, but the Chu State in the south has always been a hidden danger buried there at a moment, and it is impossible to say when it will end the foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

A series of astonishing things followed, and the king of Zhou, who was holding the scroll in his hand, was very surprised, and he was thinking about the possibility of this, when someone suddenly came in and reported, "Uncle Zheng is here, and he is waiting outside the palace!" ”
