Chapter 502: A Family of Life and Death
"What about Mingli? Where are the people? Gu Mingzhu's face turned cold.
Mao sighed: "I was sent back two days ago, and the Duchess of Yanguo was iron-hearted this time, and she refused to let her go back to the house over there, only saying that she was afraid of wronging the fourth lady, so it was better to send her back with a bad name, and she could find a good home again." ”
It's just that this is a good word, Feng Liulang has already run away, Gu Mingli was sent back to the General's Mansion at this time, even if the Duchess of Yanguo has a lotus flower, outsiders will know that she was driven back to her mother's house, and she can't even count as a harmony, so how can she marry her lover again.
Not only is Mao's face not good-looking, but the face of the Duchess of Yanguo sitting in the hall is even more unsightly, she gritted her teeth and married Gu Mingli before, but she was afraid of Gu Mingzhu and wanted to leave a way out for the Yanguo Mansion, but now that Feng Liulang has left, the Yanguo Mansion has also been broken, and even if she wants to go back to Yuzhou, she has no scruples, even if Gu Mingzhu can still take the Yanguo Mansion, she can't wait to drive Gu Mingli back.
So when Gu Mingzhu entered, she just raised her eyelids, her body didn't move at all, and she said: "It's good that the county lord is back, I'm afraid that the second lady won't be able to do this matter, and I have to ask the county lord to make an idea." ”
"The county lord knows all about the previous things, our house is no longer as good as before, although there is still a name of the prince, but it is just good, where is there any family background, but I also take the house as a family I don't cover it up, I'm afraid that Mingli will be wronged if she stays in it, and it is not as good as Chang'an when she goes to Yuzhou, this marriage is still good."
After she finished speaking, she sat on the table in disregard, eating tea and soup with peace of mind, and looked like a scoundrel who had made up her mind to the end.
Gu Mingzhu looked at her and said lightly: "Madame's words are not reasonable, when I got married, I also came to the house to ask for marriage, you love me and I are willing to marry two surnames, after getting married, my fourth sister is also filial to her in-laws, abides by women's morals, and has never done anything evil, how can the house send it back if you want to?" There should always be an explanation. ”
She didn't wait for the Duchess of Yanguo to speak again, so she continued to talk together: "What's more, this matter should also be discussed with the elders, my father is still in the camp of Xishan and has never returned home, I'm afraid I can't be the master for the fourth sister." ”
She said these words neither softly nor hard, then got up and said to Mao: "Second aunt, I'll go and see the fourth sister, you have to accompany your in-laws." ”
With that, she led the people out of the main hall.
On the way to Gu Mingli's courtyard, Gu Mingzhu sighed softly.
It's not that she's dragging mud and water, it's just that this is Gu Mingli's business, she should always know what her plans are, when the Liu family and the Yanguo Mansion decided on this family affair, they originally wanted to send Gu Mingyu to marry, but in the end, they harmed their daughter, and now that Gu Mingli has fallen to this point, Gu Mingzhu is not a taste in her heart, if she really doesn't want to go to the Yanguo Mansion again, no one will force her.
It's just that Gu Mingli's plan still surprised Gu Mingzhu.
Gu Mingli, who sat up slowly from the couch with a crumpled dress with a plain head and face, heard that Gu Mingzhu was coming, but she didn't look at her coldly: "...... Big sister don't have to bother, I'm going to go to Yuzhou with them. ”
When it comes to this, Gu Mingli actually wants to go to Yuzhou with the Yanguo Mansion? !
Gu Mingzhu was speechless for a while, but she was angry, and couldn't help but persuade: "Li Niang, you can figure it out, I'm just afraid that the Feng family will ......."
Before she finished speaking, Gu Mingli sneered: "Big sister, don't worry about me, I'm already a member of the Feng family, how can I not stay in the Gu family and drag you down, if the big sister really has a heart, let Mrs. take me to Yuzhou, I don't want anything else." ”
Gu Mingli didn't care much about Gu Mingzhu anymore, but just told the maid to pour tea and water for herself, all as if Gu Mingzhu was not ordinary.
Looking at her appearance, Gu Mingzhu had no choice but to get up and discuss with Mao.
Duchess Yan Guo sat for a while, but after all, it was in vain, and Mao also said that she wanted Gu Qing to come back and decide, so she could only go back stupidly.
But they all knew that this matter would not drag on for a long time, and the Yanguo Mansion was about to return to Yuzhou with his family, and Gu Mingli was left in the General's Mansion like this, which would be even more troublesome at that time.
It's just that Gu Mingli's paranoia was beyond their expectations, she insisted on refusing to reconcile and leave, and refused to look back at home, but she wanted to follow the Yanguo Mansion to Yuzhou.
There are many things in the palace, and Gu Mingzhu can't stay in the general's mansion all the time, so she told the Mao family that if Gu Qing comes back and sends news to the palace, she will come back again, and she will think about it in the past few days and find time to go back to deal with Gu Mingli's affairs.
However, she still didn't expect that the situation in the palace had changed more than expected, and within a few hours of her return to the palace, the saint was already dying.
In the night, the Taiji Palace was lit up everywhere, and the lights were connected like the Milky Way, but there was no singing, only a low and suppressed cry.
The Queen Mother sat in the East Pavilion of the Taiji Palace, her expression resolutely like an ice and snow sculpture, listening to the report of the medical officer.
“…… The saint was too seriously injured, he was too frightened before, and he was too weak to be tortured by the rebels, and he couldn't stand it after all. The Imperial Physician Ling lowered his head, not daring to look at the Queen Mother's expression.
The Queen Mother raised her head slightly: "How long can it last?" ”
Taiyi Ling hesitated for a moment: "I'm afraid it's difficult to reach tomorrow." ”
The Queen Mother's body shook slightly, but Xu Siyan still supported her, but she pushed it away: "Please invite a few adults in, I have something to discuss with them." ”
Everyone was nervous, and they all knew that at this time, it would only be the candidate for the new emperor who was discussed, and no one dared to say more, so they all stood aside quietly, not daring to say more.
Gu Mingzhu was behind the screen on the side, sitting with Princess Anping.
"Your Highness, the saint's injury is too serious, and the medical officer said that it is difficult to support tomorrow, you still mourn ......" She held Princess Anping's cold hand, and didn't know how to comfort her for a while.
Princess Anping had a pale face, red eyes and whispered, "Mingzhu, is the eldest brother also leaving?" My father just died, and now my eldest brother is leaving? ”
The tears in her eyes were shaking: "The second brother has also been locked up in the Baifu Hall for so long, and the palace maids said that he was crying and begging in the palace, and there was no sound in the past few days, and they all said that it was not good, but the queen mother still refused to let him out...... Only me and my third brother are left, what should I do? ”
She is still a child after all, she can't understand the twists and turns in this, she only knows that a good family has been separated from life and death in a blink of an eye, and her flesh and blood have been separated, all of which is too cruel for her.
Gu Mingzhu didn't know what to say, so she could only say softly: "You still have the Queen Mother, and me, Niangniang, she is even more sad to support the overall situation alone, and she wants you to accompany her and help her." ”
Princess Anping raised her eyes and looked at her mother suspiciously, at this moment she was still calmly and calmly discussing the affairs of the new emperor with the courtiers, and she didn't pay much attention to the dying son in the hall behind her, and she was calmly scared.
Is she really sad?
