153 Repay the favor
The wind gradually rose, the sky gradually became overcast, and the cold poured into the neckline of the sleeves, blowing Ge Xiao's hair flying. Aunt Luo came over to put on a robe for Ge Xiao, saying that it was windy at the door, and persuaded her to go back to the house and wait, but she refused to go in, as if she could feel at ease by the door.
Recently, because Yu Xi was in prison and no one pointed out his articles, Ge Jingke felt very unaccustomed to it, and looked forward to the cold face talent coming back, and it would be good to train him a few more sentences.
Looking at the piles of congratulatory gifts placed at home, Ge Jingke kept asking his sister why she suddenly became the county lord, Ge Xiao didn't want to mention more, after Qin Bo heard that the imperial concubine accepted her as a righteous daughter, his eyes became darker and darker, and he opened his mouth to speak, but he didn't say anything.
Seeing his sister's restless appearance for Yu Xi, Ge Jingke couldn't help but talk a lot, "Sister, I found that you seem to care about Brother Yu very much!" ”
Shouldn't it? "He's my savior, can I not worry?"
My sister has been reluctant recently, but in his eyes, it seems that he has more than just feelings for his benefactor, "It's not just because of this, right?" ”
The younger brother had a lot of thoughts, what he wanted to say, Ge Xiao guessed accurately, his blushing cheeks frowned slightly, and he scolded lightly: "At a young age, don't worry about the affairs of adults, read your books!"
Ge Jingke said righteously: "I have a lot of things I don't understand, waiting for Brother Yu to come back and explain!"
"Really?" Can Ge Xiao still understand him? Fake positive! "In the past, when people were here, you didn't bother to ask, this will pretend to be studious!"
"Aren't all people like that! If you lose it, you won't get used to it. Ge Jingke raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "So sister, you have to cherish the people in front of you!"
However, God didn't seem to plan to give her this opportunity, when the embarrassed Ge Xiao was about to raise his hand to beat her brother, Wen Zhao suddenly came to Yufu to look for her, thinking that he was bringing Yuxi back, but there was no figure of Yuxi behind him, and Wen Zhao's expression was rare and dignified!
Sensing that something was wrong, Ge Xiao held his breath and asked him cautiously, "Young Master Wen, is something wrong?" ”
Catching up with her worried gaze, Wen Zhao didn't dare to speak, so he could only lower his eyes and say in a low voice: "Marquis Wu Anhou went to the emperor in person, it is useless for the imperial concubine to intercede, the emperor said, ......"
"What did the emperor say?" Seeing that he was struggling, Ge Xiao instantly broke out in a cold sweat, afraid to face it, and anxious to know the result, "Gongzi Wen, don't play dumb riddles, please speak clearly!" ”
After hesitating for a while, Wen Zhao was unwilling to beat his fists and lamented: "Say, killing pays for life...... The county lord is not guilty, Yuxi is guilty, it is not easy for the Hou Ye to raise a child, and the son cannot die in vain......"
"The emperor actually said that?" Although she was disappointed, it seemed to be common sense, Emperor Xuan's concubine must have done her best, but the emperor took a fancy to Wu Anhou too much and refused to give up!
So Yuxi...... Is it dead? Being hopeful and suddenly disappointed is more uncomfortable than despairing all the time! didn't dare to despair, Ge Xiao still held on to the last glimmer of hope, "I'll go to the palace again and ask for the imperial concubine." ”
"It's useless! I heard that the emperor was angry and ordered the imperial concubine to go back to the palace and not mention the matter again. ”
What can I do? Pulling his long hair anxiously, thinking that Yu Xi could not be released, Ge Xiao was about to cry! "Where's the little marquis?"
Ji Muwei is also powerless, Wen Zhao understands very well, "It was his eldest brother who died, he didn't have to say much, otherwise others would think that he wanted his eldest brother to die!" ”
"King Makoto! King Cheng won't sit idly by, right? Ge Xiao thought about all the people who could help, but Wen Zhao broke his hope one by one,
"King Cheng also went to beg, it's useless, we have tried all the methods we should think of, but the ancestor of Wu'an Hou is the founder of the country, the emperor is very important, and Yuxi's life is hard!"
Now, the situation has been decided, and it cannot be reversed, holding on to the door frame, Ge Xiao, who is mourning for losing his heart, is unable to squat on the threshold, holding his forehead and scolding himself, "It's all my fault!" It's all my fault for causing him trouble! ”
Ge Jingke persuaded and grieved with her, at first he really hated Yuxi's Qinggao, but later it became a heartfelt admiration for his literary talent, and he secretly hoped that he could get together with his sister, but God was jealous of the talent, and everything seemed impossible......
Ge Xiao, who was buried in his head and crying, suddenly heard Wen Zhao mourn and mourned: "Poor Yu Xi, he has not yet married a wife, and the Yu family has no queen, how can he explain to his ancestors!" Sighing, he suddenly asked, "Miss Ge, are you really willing to do something for him?" ”
Raising his head suddenly, Ge Xiao's face was full of tears, "Even if I let him die, I'm willing!" ”
Miss Ge is really a sincere and good woman, Wen Zhao couldn't bear to continue, but not to mention that he was itchy again, and always wanted to do something for Yu Xi, "This can't be replaced, but there is a favor, you may be able to help." ”
"What's the busy?" As long as she can do it, she will do it!
"Dayao has a law that if the person sentenced to death has no children, he can be given a month to find his wife to go to prison and leave him a descendant."
"Huh?" Can it still be like this? Ge Xiao was embarrassed and embarrassed: "But I'm not his wife!"
Anyway, as soon as her eyes were closed and her heart was horizontal, Wen Zhao had already spoken, it depended on her own attitude, "I know that this request is a bit excessive, Yu Xi will definitely not say this kind of thing to you, I just stand in the position of a friend and consider for him, if you don't want to, then don't force it." ”
"I ...... It's not that she doesn't want to," Ge Xiao didn't know how to express her heart at the moment, she just didn't want to see Yu Xi get executed because of her,
"I wish there was a better way. I hope he will have a life to live, marry the woman he likes, and continue the incense for the Yu family, so that everyone will be happy. And now, even if I can keep a descendant for him, if he doesn't die, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life! ”
It seemed to make sense, Wen Zhao began to wonder if his proposal was too much? When he was hesitating to retract the idea, he heard Ge Xiao say again:
"Or, you help me ask King Cheng and take me into the palace to see the emperor, I want to show the emperor that I am willing to die on behalf of Yuxi! I just begged him to spare Yuxi. ”
It's so touching! Wen Zhao suddenly thought that if he encountered a situation like Yu Xi in this future, no woman would be willing to sacrifice herself for him, thinking that Yu Xi was also lucky! "Miss Ge values love and righteousness, Yuxi Sansheng is fortunate to meet you!"
"Nope! He was unlucky to meet me, and he was affected by me. "The idea of wanting to see the emperor is getting stronger and stronger, you have to give it a try, you can't watch Yu Xi die unjustly,
"Do you think this is possible?" Ge Xiao asked Wen Zhao's opinion, and was doused by him with a basin of cold water, but seeing Wen Zhao shaking his head and sighing,
"King Cheng also went to intercede, but he was reprimanded and driven away by the emperor, I guess you have no chance to see the emperor at all!
The top priority, should you see Yu Xi first, lest you enter the palace when you enter the palace, I don't know if the emperor will detain you in a fit of rage, and I'm afraid that you won't even have the chance to see Yu Xi at that time! ”
"Gongzi Wen is right," Ge Xiao also felt that he should want to meet him, "but the night before yesterday I wanted to go to the cell, and they were all very strict and no one was allowed to see Yu Xi. ”
In fact, there is a way, "If it is to give birth to him, this is visible, after all, there is this in the law, as long as you are willing to go, I will arrange it." ”
In order to see Yu Xi, she also let go and agreed to Wen Zhao's proposal.
When he arrived in prison, he saw Yu Xi, he looked forward to it, and finally saw it, Ge Xiao was speechless, his eyes were still bright, not changed by captivity, there was a pile of papers on the table, which was probably his casual work, such a radiant man, she really couldn't associate him with death, he didn't know his situation at the moment, if he knew, what kind of gloom would it be?
The thousand words in her heart endured silence when she came to her mouth, Yu Xi still smiled softly to show comfort, greeted her, and asked her about the current situation in the house, how Qin Bo and Aunt Luo were in health, whether Jing Ke was naughty, whether she had an argument with the neighbor boy, and she replied one by one with a smile, and in the end, she had no intention of coping, just because the guilt had eroded her, and she couldn't cry.
"Ji Qian has passed away, the emperor refuses to be extrajudicial to show mercy, Brother Yu ...... I...... I'm sorry for you! ”
Didn't he not think about such a result, and when he heard it with his own ears, in addition to smiling, he didn't seem to know how to express his feelings and regret it? No! I really don't regret it, and if I do it again, he will be so duty-bound.
Fear? It didn't seem to be very scared, maybe for young people, death was like thunder, terrible but far away. I always feel like I'm listening to someone else's verdict.
Originally, he also had depression in his heart, but he was just enduring it, and he didn't want to show it to Ge Xiao, he hoped that Ge Xiao could smile and give him courage and encouragement, so that he could get through this catastrophe, because sadness was easy to infect others, and when he saw her crying, he also began to be sad, and he was even more stunned when she saw her.
"Everything I did was voluntary, and if you know me, you should understand that I don't need your apology."
She understood that Yu Xi had never blamed her, but she still blamed herself, "But I still feel guilty, after all, you haven't married yet, if you go like this, I'm sorry for your ancestors." ”
His Yu family knows right and wrong, and will not blindly accuse, Yu Xi is not afraid, at the bottom, he can't communicate with Zu Rang, "I believe that my father will also approve of my behavior." ”
He didn't care about her life, and what was she still writhing here? If you owe him, you can't pay it back for the rest of your life, if you can do something, it's good, make up your mind, Ge Xiao turned his heart sideways, clenched his fingers, and opened his mouth boldly,
"Or, I'...... I'll give you a baby! In the end, the voice was as small as a mosquito, and his face was red, but Yu Xi still heard it, and he was stunned at the time, "Huh? ”
Ge Xiao opened his mouth and didn't dare to look at him, "Gongzi Wen said, everyone has gone to intercede, if the death penalty cannot be changed, then ...... I can only, think of it, and leave a ...... for your Yu family Posterity. ”
Where does this begin? "I'm going, leaving you a child, and you will inherit the Yu family for us? Would you like to? ”
Of course, she will not refuse, people treat me sincerely, I will be sincere, "Yes, after all, you are guilty of my sake." ”
With a deep sigh, Yu Xi understood, "You don't want to, you just want to repay the favor......"
