Chapter 151: Doomed
"Although Xuanning Hou and several other officials embezzled 500,000 taels and were suspected of assassinating my sister, he is the Hou Ye after all."
"But he is the Hou Ye after all, and it is already a very heavy punishment to behead him after the autumn and exile his family to the frontier."
β¦β¦
In her mind, what Yan Zhao said to her kept echoing.
Yan Zhao is the right Shaoqing of Dali Temple, who is familiar with the law, and what he said will not be wrong.
"embezzled 500,000 taels, and was also suspected of assassinating the daughter of the prince...... But he was the only one who was beheaded, and the others were exiled...... But this is already a very serious punishment? β
Gu Qinghuan leaned against the wall, reluctantly returned to the inner room, and sat down on the bed, she raised her hand to cover her eyes, her fingers trembled, and she pressed her temples lightly, trying to calm herself down.
However, I couldn't calm down.
"In his previous life, my father was accused of embezzling 300,000 taels ......"
Gu Qinghuan's voice trembled, "But my house was raided, there was no man left in the house, and the woman was an official prostitute, even if it was a servant, only a few people and my grandmother escaped, but there was still no good end...... My Gu family is Yong'an Hou! The founding hero of the Dazhang Dynasty, the great family that has been glorified for hundreds of years! β
Xuanning Hou is compared to her family, what is it?!
Whether it's a knighthood or a family background...... Nothing can compare to the Gu family!
But......
Why?!
Why is the fate of Xuanninghou's family so much better than her family?
Did the second prince help Xuanning Hou intercede?
No.
Si Xiu is far from being a fool, if he dares to intercede for this kind of thing, just wait for the emperor's anger to affect him!
What's more, Yan Zhao also said that Xuanninghou's punishment was already very heavy.
Justify this as a standard of punishment.
But......
How does this explain everything that her Gu family suffered in her previous life?
"If what Yan Zhao said is right, my family shouldn't have ended up like that in my previous life......
Gu Qinghuan only felt that his brain was in a mess, and this information was like a mess, and he couldn't find a clue, "But why did it become like that?" Is it the second prince and others who fell into the ground? No...... That's impossible, isn't Xuanninghou's current fate also fueled by the Great Prince's faction? But there is still a glimmer of hope, not like my family......"
The more he thought about it, the more Gu Qinghuan felt that something was wrong.
In her previous life, she always thought that the Gu family was introduced by Gu Yiwen and Gu Lingxian, and the second prince made a move, which led to the downfall.
However, looking at it now, even the second prince should not have so much energy to shatter the Gu family and completely finish!
"Could it be...... The second prince is not really behind the scenes? β
A bold guess flashed through Gu Qinghuan's mind, and her heartbeat missed a beat.
The brain was buzzing, and Gu Qinghuan didn't dare to think, if Si Xiuyuan was just a pawn being used, then who was the person playing chess behind him?!
"Hmm......"
Gu Qinghuan only cared about things, but ignored that he had just recovered, and his brain tingled when he overthought about it.
"Bang!"
She slipped straight from the edge of the bed and fell to the ground.
"Miss?!"
Outside the door, Zhiqiu heard the movement, hurriedly pushed the door in, and saw Gu Qinghuan falling to the ground, she stepped forward in a panic and helped Gu Qinghuan up, "Miss, are you okay?!" β
"Knowing Autumn ......"
Gu Qinghuan felt a splitting headache and grabbed Zhiqiu's arm.
"Miss, the slave will help you back to bed."
Zhiqiu saw that Gu Qinghuan's expression was pale, a lot of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, he was a little anxious, and shouted outward: "Zhiyue!" Call the doctor! β
"No ......"
Gu Qinghuan was just about to stop it, she felt that she was fine, but before she could speak, Zhiqiu helped her up.
The distance between the two was shortened, Gu Qinghuan was held in Zhiqiu's arms, and his eyes were placed on Zhiqiu's heart.
The next moment, memories flooded into his mind, and Zhiqiu's heart was stained red with blood.
It was that night.
Zhiqiu escaped from Pingle Pavilion with her in the middle of the night, Ning Youwei chased after her and stabbed Zhiqiu to death.
Rather than ...... Rather than Wei?!
Gu Qinghuan's pupils shrank, and another memory floated up.
She tried her best, and finally let Ning Youwei be poisoned.
When the two were alone in the secret room, Gu Qinghuan was holding a slender straight knife in his hand.
"Remember the knife?" Gu Qinghuan pulled the knife out of the scabbard, and the snow-white blade reflected the dim candlelight, reflecting on Ning Youwei's somewhat cloudy eyes.
Ning Youwei only felt dazzling, but did not avoid it, but squinted his eyes, stared at the straight knife for a while, pouted his lips, and a somewhat feminine and cold voice sounded: "...... You're so good at getting all the knives I used before. β
"Isn't my good ability permissive?" Gu Qinghuan smiled, "Aren't you disappointed?" The bird that I thought was kept in a cage has become a man-eating snake. β
"Heh......" Ning Youwei pulled a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth, and he didn't know if he was laughing at Gu Qinghuan's smugness at the moment, or laughing at himself for being too arrogant, he thought it was a delicacy raised under his nose, but in the end he poisoned himself.
Gu Qinghuan didn't pay attention to him, and said to himself: "It's good that you remember this knife, but there are some things you shouldn't remember, for example...... You killed my handmaid with this knife, Zhiqiuβher name, do you remember? β
"I don't remember." Ning Youwei said lightly.
"It's okay, you remember now."
Gu Qinghuan smiled lightly, but this smile was so touching on that bright and charming face, and her lips opened lightly: "Moreover, I remember it until I die." β
Ning Youwei looked at her, a little in a trance.
After a while, Ning Youwei said, "Do you want to kill me with this knife?" β
"Yes." Gu Qinghuan was very direct.
"Then why don't you do it?" Ning Youwei asked again.
"Because ......"
Gu Qinghuan played with the straight knife, but there was disgust in her eyes, but her tone was light, with a little mockery and sarcasm: "Lord Ning's life is too big, I am a weak woman, how dare I approach you now?" This medicine may work wonders for others in half an hour, but it can be ...... for you It's been a quarter of an hour, and Lord Ning still has the strength to talk to me, so I won't come near you. β
Ning Youwei paused slightly when he heard this, stared at Gu Qinghuan with half-closed eyes, and suddenly said, "When you first came to Pingle Pavilion, I wouldn't have thought of having a ...... today If I had thought of it earlier, I would have broken your legs first, then your arms, and your teeth, so that you would not have the slightest strength to resist, and stay by my side obediently. β
"Lord Ningdu."
Gu Qinghuan's expression was very calm, and he was not provoked by Ning Youwei's words and stepped forward to mend the knife, but continued to stand in the distance, and said: "You don't remember Zhiqiu, so you probably don't remember either, the night you killed Zhiqiu and took me back to Pingle Pavilion, you saw that I was crying and vomiting, and I regretted going with Zhiqiu and killing her." But you said to me, "If there is no if, I have already killed Zhiqiu, soβLord Ningdu, if there is no if, you are destined to die in my hands, and I will stab you to death, and I will chop your body with a knife, and feed it to the dogs above who are locked in cages, and there will not be a single bone left. β
