Chapter 72: The Truth About Death in a Past Life 2
"I killed you?" Gu Jiming's handsome face was dyed with a look of surprise, and he asked, "What do you mean?" ”
Seeing Gu Jiming's appearance, Jiang Cailing frowned, Gu Jiming's acting skills became more and more exquisite, so that she had a moment of dapplication just now, thinking that he was innocent.
There was a faint pain in her chest, and the corners of Jiang Cailing's lips raised a sneer, "Master Gu, should I say that you are forgetful?" "It's hard to go back after the flowers fall on the road, how do you know that the flowing water doesn't return to the west" I still remember every word on the flower note. ”
Gu Jiming's eyes were full of doubts, his mind was racing quickly, and he said, "Are you saying that someone gave you a poem and then killed you?" I was left in the General's Mansion by General Yuan on the night of your accident, and I returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion early in the morning, and many people can prove that I didn't enter the palace at all that night. ”
"Wouldn't it be easy for the dignified Gu Xiang to erase the traces of entering the palace that night?"
Gu Jiming's eyes were condensed, and his eyes were completely determined, "I really don't know, I once tried to investigate the cause of your death, but you took the pill before, and the corpse turned into corpse water. I kept thinking, why did you resist me so much after you were reborn, do you think I killed you? ”
Seeing Gu Jiming's sworn appearance, Jiang Cailing's heart was shaken, was it really not Gu Jiming who killed her? But it's obviously that face, is there a second Gu Jiming in the world?
When investigating the case of Princess Nanzhao's fall from the building, Liu Minglou said the technique of disguise, and a subtle light flashed in his eyes, could it be that it was not Gu Jiming that day, but someone who changed his appearance into Gu Jiming?
"What the hell happened that day?"
Jiang Cailing sat down and told Gu Jiming about the events of that night, hiding part of it.
After Gu Jiming heard this, a deep word "Chuan" formed between his eyebrows, and his eyes that had always been cold were full of worry, "If I guessed correctly, it should be the art of disguise, but the disguise technique has been lost since it was regarded as a forbidden technique by the previous dynasty, and now it will definitely set off a bloody storm when it reappears in Luoyang." Ling'er, I'm sure I'll find that person. ”
Suddenly told that she was not killed by him, Jiang Cailing didn't know whether to rejoice or be sad for a while.
This impact was a bit too big, she couldn't tell whether Gu Jiming's words were true or false, her thoughts were very confused, and she said with shallow eyes: "I don't know if I should believe you." ”
Hearing this, Gu Jiming's dark eyes swelled with surging emotions, and he opened his lips and said, "Do you remember the little eunuch who led you into the palace gate when you held your funeral?" ”
"You mean the one who took a long detour, with a little red mole in the corner of his eye?"
"Well, he was one of my eyeliners in the palace, and he told you that not only did he know that he had taken a detour, but he also secretly stuffed him with a piece of silver, and that was the first time I was suspicious of you."
Jiang Cailing didn't expect that she would expose herself to Gu Jiming's eyes from the beginning.
"What else?"
"Also, Hao Zheng is also my person."
Hao Zheng!
Jiang Cailing never thought that Hao Zheng was also a person sent by Gu Jiming, and suddenly had a feeling that she had been living under Gu Jiming's control before, and asked with a sinking face, "You deliberately arranged for Hao Zheng to take care of me in prison to win my trust." So, the last time Taozhen was in front of the door, you already knew who I was? ”
"Hmm."
After being silent for a long time, Gu Jiming re-spoke, "This is all the things I hide from you, and there will be no more in the future." ”
Gu Jiming didn't stay at home to eat that night, and Jiang Cailing also said that she had no appetite and rested early, but she couldn't sleep when she tossed and turned in bed.
All this, she suddenly felt so unreal.
Three days later, there was a discussion on the streets and alleys about one thing - the king of Fuyuan had returned.
When the news reached Luoyang, Jiang Cailing was already waiting for Guo Yao to come in the private room of the teahouse.
With the sound of pushing the door, a tall man in a blue brocade robe walked in, saw the strange woman sitting in front of the tea table, looked stunned, and said "Sorry, I entered the wrong room" and was about to leave.
Jiang Cailing raised the teacup and took a sip of tea gently, with a smile on her lips, "Since the eldest prince is here, let's have a cup of tea and leave!" ”
After three years at the border, the title of the eldest prince was already very unfamiliar to him, and Guo Yao was shocked between his eyebrows, "You are the queen of Jiang?" ”
"After three years of grinding on the side, why are you still so unbreathable, isn't it against your father's high hopes" Jiang Cailing took the white jade teapot and poured a cup of tea and put it on the empty seat opposite, "You like to drink Lushan Yunwu the most." ”
The woman's appearance is unfamiliar, but she is familiar with her words, Guo Yao knew in the letter that Jiang Cailing was suspicious after she was resurrected, but she didn't expect that it was really a resurrection of the corpse.
"Are you really the Empress Jiang?"
"Three years ago, the first emperor said that you are generous and benevolent, and you are not suitable to be the master of the world, how can you become a little stupid after three years of border training?"
This sentence made Guo Yao completely let go of his suspicions, sat on the opposite side of Jiang Cailing, and said eagerly, "What the hell is going on?" ”
The story is too long, if you start from the beginning, you won't be able to finish it for a while, so Jiang Cailing made a long story short and said, "By mistake, borrow the corpse to return the soul." ”
Unexpectedly, Guo Yao wanted to ask not this at all, Jiang Cailing raised her eyes and saw that the other party's round eyes were full of murderous intent, "I'm not talking about this, who killed you?" ”
Jiang Cailing shook her head, "That person should be disguised." ”
She doesn't know at whose hands she died now. Gu Jiming's words, she still believed it, if he really wanted to kill her at the beginning, he would have killed her as soon as he saw through her identity, and he would not have waited until now to delay his actions.
"There are not many people who know the art of disguise, and when I find that person, I must avenge you!"
Jiang Cailing's heart warmed, and then Zhengse spoke, "I didn't have time to write in the letter, do you know Su Qingcheng?" ”
Guo Yao nodded, "I know a little about this person, the Su family has now become the head of the four major businessmen in Luoyang, and it is all the son of the Su family behind the scenes, do you think there is anything wrong with this person?" ”
"I don't have anyone around me who can use it now, I can only let you check the true identity of Su Qingcheng, I guess he is related to the royal family of Chu State, but I don't have conclusive evidence to prove this at present."
"The royal family of the Chu State? In the past few years, the State of Chu has been secretly manipulating his feet, if Su Qingcheng is really a member of the royal family, then the King of Chu will take too long to move! ”
"The King of Chu is insidious, if it weren't for the emperor's clever calculation seven years ago, he detonated the Huai Mountain, changed the trend of the Huai River, and formed a great river of Zhou and Chu Tianmoat, I am afraid that the King of Chu would have attacked it in the three years of Guo Yao's reign. This matter is in a hurry, Su Qingcheng is surrounded by masters, don't startle the snake. ”
The two chatted some gossip again, the time of a stick of incense passed, Guo Yao couldn't stay here for too long, so he left in a hurry, before leaving, Jiang Cailing opened his lips and said, "You and I are too frequent in Luoyang City to send messages to people easy to be discovered, I have a woman who knows martial arts by my side, and I will give you a little letter when the time comes." ”
"Okay."
In late spring, the peach blossoms turn red and the weather begins to get hot. In order to celebrate the return of King Fuyuan to Beijing, Guo Yao specially held a palace banquet for officials and family members above the fifth grade.
He Mingshan's family was also invited to participate in the palace banquet, and early in the morning, Bai He jumped up and ran in front of Jiang Cailing, and said excitedly, "Girl, the Xiangfu sent the palace clothes, which were personally sent by the Jiuge guards, and I heard him say that this dress is woven with silk, which is breathable and cold, and is most suitable for wearing when the temperature difference between morning and evening is large." ”
Since they were all delivered, Jiang Cailing had no reason to return them. After a winter, she grew a little longer, and the previous palace clothes were a little smaller.
The clothes sent by Gu Jiming were dressed properly, there were no complicated flower patterns and decorations, the ivory white fabric was very plain, the well-cut lining was exquisite, the pleated design of the skirt was particularly exquisite, and the hollow gold-edged butterflies were decorated.
Bai He had an inspiration and pulled Jiang Cailing back in front of the bronze mirror, wanting to give Jiang Cailing a head again.
"Bai He, I don't think I need to, this is already very good."
Bai He's round face smiled and revealed two small dimples, "The girl can't live up to the good intentions of her future uncle!" ”
So, Bai Lotus removed the lily bun that had just been braided, re-tied a soft bun, fixed the side with the gold-inlaid jade butterfly hairpin rewarded by the emperor, and finally the rest of the green silk fell down softly, and spread out in the wind, with a noble temperament and a low-key and luxurious dress, as if the Nine Heavens Xuannu had strayed into the mortal world.
Jiang Cailing doesn't pay much attention to this aspect, probably because she has participated in too many palace banquets in her previous life, it is nothing more than that process, there is not much new, if it wasn't for the special reception banquet for Guo Yao this time, Jiang Cailing would definitely choose to pretend to be sick and avoid it.
After dressing up, less than an hour before the palace banquet, Jiang Cailing stopped Bai He's hand from rubbing the fat powder on her face for the second time, and walked out of the room.
Walking into the sun, I suddenly heard an exclamation from the white lotus behind me, "Girl, this butterfly will change color!" ”
Saying that, Jiang Cailing looked down and saw that the original hollow and transparent butterflies showed a beautiful luster at this time, with the different angles of sunlight, the butterflies also changed these different colors, sometimes bright apricot yellow, sometimes pure ice blue, as if seeing a flock of butterflies flapping their wings, flying from the quiet hollow valley mountain stream to the prosperous Jindu City.
Even Jiang Cailing, who is accustomed to seeing all kinds of rare treasures in the palace, also admired the ingenuity of this skirt design and the exquisiteness of this design.
He Mingshan and Meng Yun shared a sedan chair, while Jiang Cailing sat in a small sedan chair in the back, playing with a blue and white porcelain vase in his hand, which contained three soul-recovering pills.
Luoyang is no longer peaceful, even more turbulent than three years ago, how many people covet the dragon chair above 10,000 people, how many people will see Guo Yao as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, and they want to get rid of it quickly!
What's more, at this time, Guo Ang may not be around him There will be eunuchs and grandmothers like Zhao Gao who refer to the deer as a horse, and they will tell Guo Ang that Guo Yao is the one who will threaten his throne and the bad guy who wants to kill him!
Brother killing, this is the last thing Jiang Cailing wants to see, and it is also what she must stop.
Things were far trickier than Emperor Zhaohong expected, Jiang Cailing looked down at the porcelain bottle, pulled her gaze into the distance, and sighed softly, "I hope you won't need these three pills for the rest of your life." ”
