Chapter 330: The Only Way to Live (Part 1)

Gu Mingzhu looked at Lu Sanlang in a daze, looked at him and said with compassion in his eyes: "At the beginning, I didn't know the reason for this, but I just watched the atmosphere in the house become more and more solemn, and my father's expression became more and more ugly when he came back from the court every day, but at that time, I didn't understand at all, obviously I am more and more important to my father today, from the first product Fucheng Zhao Guogong to the super first product Dingyuan Zhao Guogong, and the gifts are coming continuously." ”

"After the death of the eldest princess Xuanyang, my father no longer asked me about my schoolwork, and I had my own plans at that time," he said here, his tone was a little obscure, as if he recalled some memory he didn't want to remember, and the smile on his face that had been indifferent became dim, "I wandered around every day, but I never noticed the changes in the house. ”

"Until that day, before I hurried out of the house to Qujiang Pond for an appointment, my father called me, but he didn't say anything, just asked me to go to Xishi to bring a few pieces of Duanzhou Fangmo back before I came back, he has always been used to it, I don't think there is anything, and I hurried out of the door."

"But when I came back, what I saw was that the Zhao Guogong Mansion was surrounded by prison guards, and the open fire was stubbornly taking people to investigate, and my father had already arranged for his cronies to stay quietly outside the mansion, stopping me who was about to rush over, and also blocking the officers and soldiers who were chasing me, so I fled in embarrassment, and I survived by luck, and survived until today......"

Cui Lin looked at Lu Sanlang, who was smiling bitterly and barely took a sip of hot wine, his eyes were indifferent, it seemed that he didn't plan to talk to anyone about his past with Luo, and even because of that past, he was tortured and painful until now, and he still refused to tell others about it.

Gu Mingzhu turned pale from the moment she heard about the eldest princess of Xuanyang, and she reluctantly supported herself to sit on the side of the desk, Ah Bi and Xiao Kui held her hand with worry and replaced her with hot tea soup, but the bowl of hot tea soup still failed to alleviate her shock and grief.

After a while, her expression began to calm down, but her eyes were slightly red, and she looked at Lu Sanlang: "Why?" What really happened in the Tai Chi Hall back then? ”

What happened that all the concubines and palace maids who served in the Taiji Hall would be martyred, and the noble princess Xuanyang would be forced to choose to cut off her own life, give up her husband and the child she had just given birth, and would not hesitate to wipe out the powerful Zhao Guogong Mansion one day!

Cui Lin and Cui Yi's expressions also became solemn at this time, looking at Lu Sanlang's gaze with weight, Cui Yi couldn't help but open his mouth: "The edict of the first emperor...... Now in the hands of Lang Jun? ”

The edict of the first emperor?!

Gu Mingzhu looked at Lu Sanlang suspiciously, only to see that the wry smile on his face became heavier and heavier, and his voice gradually became presumptuous from a low voice, and he laughed without any concealment, but the bitterness and sadness in that laughter made people's hearts sour.

He looked at Cui Lin: "Does Cui Wulang also believe that the first emperor left an edict that day?" ”

At this moment, there was a hint of sarcasm in his smile.

Cui Lin shook his head: "I don't believe it, if it really is, how can Zhao Guogong sit still and wait to die." ”

Lu Sanlang looked at him, his smile slowly faded, and there was finally appreciation in his eyes: "The children of the Cui family are not confused after all, they can see it." ”

He looked at Cui Lin and Cui Yi: "In the words left by my father, I never mentioned that the first emperor had an edict, whether it was when the first emperor was seriously ill or later, it was not said that the first emperor had left an edict, if there was really that edict, there was the momentum of the Zhao State Mansion, and the military power of the auxiliary general, how could it be slaughtered by others." ”

Cui Lin glanced back at Gu Mingzhu, who was sitting there by Mu Mu, before turning his head and saying in a deep voice: "On that day, the first emperor ordered Zhao Guogong to thoroughly investigate the matter of abolishing the prince and the king of Wei, and summoned Zhao Guogong to meet in front of the palace for more than ten days. ”

"On that day, the three people in the palace were the most trusted and reused people by the first emperor, and the eldest princess Xuanyang, who stayed in the palace to serve the sick, was also the first emperor's favorite princess, so originally as long as the edict was issued according to the order of the first emperor, I am afraid that the situation in the court will be turned upside down."

Cui Lin's voice was eloquent, not in a hurry, with the power to calm Gu Mingzhu's churning heart: "It's just that on that day in the Taiji Palace, the first emperor's illness is afraid that it will recur again, because there is a sentence in the records of the Tai Ji Department that on the ninth day of October in the thirteenth year of Yongli, the Tai Yi Department was urgently summoned to sentence Mao Renxiao to enter the Tai Chi Hall to diagnose the pulse and prescribe the prescription. ”

"The first emperor was seriously ill and couldn't write an edict or move the jade seal, so there was no edict." After he finished speaking, he looked at Lu Sanlang.

Lu Sanlang's smile was even more bitter, and he nodded: "Cui Wulang is really not an ordinary person, he actually guessed the approximate situation just by relying on a record of the Tai Hospital." ”

"That edict has always been nothing, even though the first emperor had the intention of abolishing the establishment that day, and intended to let my father take the imperial grandson from the abolition of the palace to teach in person in front of the emperor, but because of this matter, his heart was greatly moved, and his condition became more and more dangerous, but he fell unconscious after half a day, and everything he said in the palace came to naught."

Gu Mingzhu gradually understood, his face was even more pale and ugly, and his hand holding the tea pot was so hard that it turned blue, it turned out that this was the truth, this was what happened in the Taiji Hall that day, and all the reasons were because of that edict that had never existed.

But why did that edict that never appeared become a shadow of everyone's death? The first emperor has collapsed, and this unrealized past should be sealed in the past, why is it ......

Lu Sanlang looked at Gu Mingzhu who was sitting on the side, the pity and sadness in his eyes were even worse, he understood such feelings, his loved ones died innocently in vain, and the fate of his life was changed.

He looked at Gu Mingzhu, as if answering her question: "It's Guo Sheng, after the Taiji Hall was sage, he ordered someone to send the news to the East Palace." ”

Today's sage was still the newly canonized prince that day, and after the abolition of the prince Qian, he was imprisoned in the court, and he ascended the throne less than a day after the death of the first emperor and became the emperor, and the young master of the prince Guo Sheng was promoted to a first-class prince on the day the new emperor ascended the throne, ranking as the third duke, and the power was overwhelming.

I see.

In order to prevent the Gu family from becoming like the Zhao Guogong Mansion, and in order to keep her little life that was about to be buried before she was born, she chose to commit suicide but that period of the past, so her father quietly left Chang'an a few days before she was born and rushed back to the Northwest Army.

However, the Zhao Mansion did not have such a way to live, and more than 100 lives in the Mansion were punished for treason, and they were not even exiled, and all of them became unjust souls under the loess.
