Chapter 20: The Bitter Meat Ploy (3)

The queen mother personally took Gu Qingxuan to the Qinzheng Palace.

Gu Qingxuan knelt in front of His Majesty, and she said calmly, "Please let Your Majesty open the net and spare my third brother." Her voice was clear and unafraid.

His Majesty looked at the woman kneeling on the ground in silence, and he sighed lightly, "You go back to the house first, I will only let people scrutinize this matter." ”

Gu Qingxuan frowned slightly, she knew that His Majesty had left a little leeway for the Gu family if he didn't convict the Gu family immediately.

"Your Majesty, there is only one male left in the Gu family now. When I sent my brother into the palace, I promised my grandmother that if I couldn't bring my brother back safely, I would kneel outside the palace gate and not return. She kowtowed again, "Please ask Your Majesty to give the Gu family a way out." ”

Gu Qingxuan stood up, she stepped back step by step, exited the Qinzheng Palace, she walked towards the palace gate, her every step was extremely firm.

Outside the palace gate, after Gu Qingxuan knelt down, Hongling, who came with her, also knelt beside her. The little guy who came by car from the Gu family also knelt down. An hour later, the Gu family was full of doors, except for Mrs. Gu, who was guarding the mourning hall, and Mrs. Da and Mrs. A, who were sick in bed, under the leadership of Miss Gu, they all came to the palace gate in filial piety clothes.

The Gu family lined up in three rows, and all knelt outside the palace gate.

"Big sister, why are you here?" Gu Qingxuan frowned and asked in a low voice.

Gu Qingyun said in a low voice, "I can't let my sister kneel here alone, no matter what happens in the future, I will support our Gu family with my sister." ”

The tears in Gu Qingxuan's eyes could no longer be held back, and she nodded, "Okay, let's beg Your Majesty here to let my brother go home." ”

After listening to the words of the chamberlain, the queen frowned and spoke, "Your Majesty, do you really want to kill the Gu family?" Have you forgotten Gu Linggong? Have you forgotten your friendship with Bozhang? Your Majesty, Bo Chang is gone, Bo Zhang's son is gone, and now the Gu family is left with only one son of Zhong Lian, do you really want the Gu family to cease to exist to be satisfied? ”

"I haven't forgotten, if I forget, Gu Qingyan won't be alive and well. Queen, it's time for you to go back to the palace. His Majesty frowned, "Go back." ”

The queen sighed lightly, "Actually, Your Majesty understands it better than anyone else. She shook her head lightly and turned away.

His Majesty looked at the back of the queen leaving, and sighed lightly, "It is rumored that Elder Cui Ge and His Royal Highness the King of Chu have entered the palace." He frowned slightly, and asked again, "That girl from the Gu family is the second girl of the Gu family?" ”

The chamberlain nodded slightly, "Back to Your Majesty, it's Miss Gu Er." I heard that a few days ago, the Marquis of Wenyuan's Mansion had withdrawn from the marriage between the prince and Miss Gu Er. ”

His Majesty snorted coldly, "The Song family is not worthy of that little girl." He waved his hand and motioned for the chamberlain to stand down.

Wen Yuan Hou Shizi is now the companion of the second prince, and often goes in and out of the palace, he heard that Gu Qingxuan led the Gu family to kneel outside the palace gate and begged His Majesty to let Gu San Gongzi go, he frowned and came to the palace gate.

"What are you doing on your knees here? You hurry back. If you annoy Your Majesty, I'm afraid that you won't even be able to protect the Gu family at that time. Wenyuan Hou Shizi said with a sincere face, "Sister Qingxuan, you better go back." ”

Gu Qingxuan sneered, "The prince doesn't care too much, the place where I kneel is not the place of your Song family, so what does it have to do with you." She tilted her head, not wanting to say another word to the person in front of her. If it weren't for the fall of the Marquis Wenyuan's mansion, the third brother would not have gone to prison.
