Chapter 17: The Deceased

The seats in the Ziyun Building are divided into two places, and the male and female guests sit on both sides, which are separated by light gauze screens, and the guests sitting opposite the table can be seen faintly through the thin smoke and veil.

Guo Yulan was curiously staring at a group of Jinshilang officials wearing royal green robes and hairpins sitting on the opposite table, and approached her sister Guo Yuxiu and said: "Xiuniang, look, there is still such an old man who is also a new branch jinshi, and I am afraid that he is already full of children and grandchildren." ”

She pointed to the gray-haired old man among the new science and technology scholars, and covered her mouth and laughed.

Guo Yuxiu glanced at it and said coldly: "It's just a little poor and sour, this age can be regarded as a blessing to be able to win the Jinshi, and a few are young and ambitious." ”

Guo Yulan fiddled with the handkerchief, but she kept looking over there, flashing her eyes: "No, look, it's not a young man......

In a group of middle-aged Jinshilang officials, there seemed to be a young and handsome Lang Jun, dressed in a green robe and scarlet ribbon, which lined his face like jade, and was talking to several Jinshilang beside him with a smile, and his demeanor was gentle and elegant, teaching Guo Yulan to look at it for a while and couldn't take his eyes off.

Gu Mingzhu was instructing Abi to call the palace maid to change the drink for herself, and when she heard Guo Yulan say this, she couldn't help but look up, just that glance, she was stunned on the spot, and she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.

That's Zheng Yu! You can't go wrong, it's him!

An unspeakable sense of humiliation surged up from the bottom of her heart, penetrating into every part of her body, making her unable to struggle, the lively Ziyun Tower and the feast in this building slowly faded and faded silently, and the scene in her memory seemed to be in front of her again.

That was the last time in her memory, on the third day of August in the eighth year of Yuanqing, the Xianwang Mansion had just received the edict of the crown prince in the palace, and the palace was full of lights, and the civil and military officials and powerful clans of Daohe were constantly coming and going, Li Yu asked her to prepare more than ten tables of banquets, and invited guests to congratulate in the front yard, and the house was very lively for a while.

She was originally in the inner courtyard happily let people clean up, and she was going to move to the East Palace every few days, some of which had affairs to arrange, and because she had experienced so many times of life and death and suffering, she had escaped many calculations and harms in this life, and finally got what she wanted to marry into the Xianwang Mansion, and she accompanied him from birth to death, planning for him, the husband and wife are deeply affectionate, after all, it is bitter and sweet, and he will fold it tomorrow, please crown her as the crown princess.

But when she got a message from the little maid that he was drunk and resting in the wing room in the front yard, and hurried over to take care of him, she was forcibly pressed to the side of his couch, and her screams for help were choked, and she watched in despair as the man tore open her robe.

That person is Zheng Yu, but at that time he was no longer a new branch of Shilang official, but a subordinate of the East Palace of the abolished prince Li Hong, and he won Li Hong's trust, but when the abolished prince was exiled to Luzhou and King Xian was canonized as the prince, he came to the Xianwang Mansion to congratulate her, and he also congratulated her, the future princess......

Just as Zheng Yu tore open her coat, Li Yu, who was drunk and asleep on the couch, woke up and saw this scene!

Later, she didn't remember it so clearly, she only remembered that Zheng Yu knelt down in front of Li Yu in a cold sweat, saying that he and herself had already settled into the song, and this time it was because he was drunk and drunk, and he took her secret letter to make an appointment, so he came here to meet her.

The words on the peach blossom paper he took out were indeed hers, and even she herself couldn't see the slightest flaw.

Li Yu didn't believe that she was innocent after all, he tore up the fold asking her to be named the crown princess, and made her last choice, saying that he was sick and went to Qinglian Temple to practice and recuperate, or he was abandoned and returned home.

At that time, the Gu family had no place for her, and her father was already cold to what she had done in the Xianwang Mansion, and he no longer asked about her.

Finally disheartened, with a few personal maids to pack up the soft, quietly in the carriage desperately to Lishan Qinglian Temple, but after all, failed to save his life, the carriage in the mountain soon met the thief, startled the horse, rushed down the mountain road, turned into the cliff under the cliff.

Maybe at the moment of death, she hated! hates Zheng Yu's shameless framing, but hates Li Yu's ruthlessness even more, the love between husband and wife in those years, she did so many things to help him, he didn't care about it at all, and he abandoned her with one side of his words, every time he thought of this, the heart-piercing pain would teach her that she couldn't bear it.

Therefore, in this life, she no longer wants to marry into the Xianwang Mansion, no longer thinks about going to great lengths to get married, she wants a completely different fate, maybe only by breaking this established destiny can she not have to be reincarnated painfully again and again.

Gu Mingzhu slowly relaxed her tense body, slowly suppressed the gloomy past surging in her heart, and beside her was the very lively Ziyun Building, staggered with laughter.

Through the light gauze screen, looking at Zheng Yu's handsome face over there, her face was finally clear, she retracted her gaze, and said to Abi behind her: "I taught you to embroider new patterns yesterday, why do you still use this old purse today, and don't you replace it with a new one?" ”

As she spoke, she picked up the purse on her waist with a displeased look and handed it to Ah Bi behind her.

Abi was stunned, and then the purse responded in a low voice: "Yes, it's a maid, and when I go back, I will change a new purse and put it on the lady." ”

Guo Yuxiu, who had been sitting at the seat with little interest, heard it, glanced at the purse in Abi's hand, opened her eyes, and looked at the upper seat with a beaded curtain with anticipation.

The bronze bell rang in the distance, the palace maids hurriedly retreated, bowed down behind the banquet, and the lively Ziyun Building was quiet for a while, and the ladies and ladies got up and bowed down together.

The Queen of Heaven and Your Highnesses are here.
