Chapter 80: Wrongful Imprisonment
Yun Yanjin's eyes were resolute, and she nodded, "You have a lot of sense, but I definitely don't want you to die." Gu Shezhi, I will find a way to mix a death row prisoner to come in and replace you, you must wait for me to complete this matter, before it is successful, please don't die, okay? β
Gu Yi's expression was slightly stunned, then he smiled and whispered, "So, excellent." β
Yun Yanjin handed him the golden medicine hidden in his body, and said solemnly: "Gu Shezhi, you must save your life, otherwise, I can't explain to Shezhi." β
Gu Xi smiled with bent eyes, and whispered softly: "Mole ants are still stealing, let alone people?" But this is capital punishment, Yan Jin, you have to move faster, otherwise I can't guarantee that you will be able to endure it. β
Yun Yanjin nodded silently, put on the guard's clothes again, got up and knocked on the iron door, and naturally someone answered him out. Before leaving, he turned his head and glanced at Gu Xi again, his eyes were extremely firm and calm.
The iron door was locked again, listening to Yun Yanjin's footsteps quietly disappearing. Gu Xi, who was mottled with blood and thin clothes, revealed a shallow smile on his delicate pale face, his eyes were crooked, and in the flickering lights, the black ink was as if he couldn't see the bottom.
Just after the severe summer, it was an eventful time in the capital.
What Yun Yanjin wanted to accomplish turned out to be easier and smoother than he imagined, but the only thing that surprised him happened unexpectedly. Gu Shezhi couldn't stand it in prison and died. After being imprisoned, his internal strength has been sealed by people with a unique secret method, and Ling Chi's punishment is borne by an ordinary person-like body every day, and he has just returned from the battlefield with injuries on his body, and his internal injuries have not healed, and now it is common to not be able to withstand punishment.
The emperor strictly ordered the news to be blocked and not allowed to spread it.
However, Yun Yanjin's pawn in the Heavenly Prison had already brought news. He sat down on the Taishi chair in the lobby in a daze, and then his eyes gradually became hot.
He had already identified a similar-looking death row inmate, disguised him, and promised his family a large sum of money so that he would not reveal his identity until he was sentenced. And asked people to put all the scars on Gu Xi's body on this death row inmate, moved his hands and feet on his face, and used drugs to scar the scars on the death row inmate's body, everything was gradually perfected and ready, and he was about to find a suitable opportunity to quietly replace the person, but it was still a step too late.
This matter naturally can't be hidden.
Yun Yanjin looked at the dark sky outside the window, he couldn't go to the eldest princess's mansion at this moment, otherwise it would arouse the emperor's suspicion. Since his last night visit, the emperor has been watching him more and more intensively. Now that things have just begun, he can't afford to fall short and live up to Gu Xi's planning and calculations.
Yun Yanzheng did not act rashly at this moment, but grabbed a piece of Tuobu that Qingyan quietly sent in. She sat weakly on the chaise longue, her eyes glazed out, her mind blank, her heart empty, and slowly, slowly, slowly, a knife-like pain overflowed, and her entire chest seemed to be unable to breathe. She shouldn't follow the advice of the third brother, she shouldn't cooperate with the medicine to feign illness, she shouldn't just fake the news of the operation to confuse the emperor; She should have gone to rob the prison without hesitation, she should have traded her life for his life, she should have been single-mindedly worried about his injuries and pain.
On the white cloth in front of him, there were blood stains. It was the words that the man wrote on the wall of the prison with blood, and the fairy hairpin flower was unmatched: the house of the house.
There was a fierce pain in her heart, and two lines of hot tears couldn't help but slide down her eyes.
Did Yun Shezhi abandon him and take care of him?
Or was he already determined to abandon her and go?
She shouldn't listen to the third brother's advice, she shouldn't wait for his plan, she shouldn't believe Gu Shezhi's words that she doesn't want her to save him, and she shouldn't be moved by Gu Shezhi's desire to not want her to be displaced and endure humiliation. All of these should not have caused today's guilt, pain, regret and irreparability.
Give it up, give it up, give it up.
It's to blame her Yun Shezhi for abandoning him Gu Shezhi, she really didn't come to the rescue, when he was most helpless and in pain, she Yun Shezhi was actually standing by. He never helped, never helped, never comforted, never shared weal and woe, never paid attention to what he thought in his heart.
It was he who chose to abandon her in the end, unable to bear the last pain and left. Is it to make her regret it, to make her heartbroken, or to make her unable to forgive herself for the rest of her life?
He said that he would repay his eyes; He said that a little kindness should be repaid with a spring; He said that he would not care about her when the teacher contract expired; He said that he had to bear his word; He said that those things would pass; He said that the dispute between Wei Yu and Yu would be fully helped; He said to watch the fireworks with her again; He said that there was a set of swordsmanship to pass on to her to express her heart; He said that the piano lays down the burden for the voice of the heart; He said that the prescription was made for her cook...... He said, Mo is blooming, but it can be slowly returned!
His words and deeds, his voice and smile swept through his heart one by one, Yun Yanzheng unconsciously held on to the handrail, his ten fingers were deeply buttoned into the wood, and the tips of his ten fingers were dripping with blood, but there was no pain at all. She looked up to the sky and laughed weakly, not knowing how to express it, how to vent the pain in her heart, that complex and indescribable feeling was about to make her chest crack and shatter, and her right hand unconsciously stretched out to the position of her chest through her clothes and flesh and grasped it tightly, as if the pain in it was unbearable, and she wanted to scratch her heart to relieve such an unbearable cone pain.
When she was in deep pain, she suddenly remembered that person had asked her.
"If I die because of this, will you miss me?"
Yun Yanzheng's heart trembled for a while, at that time she couldn't tell this sentence at all, was he asking a joke, or was it sincere?
However, now it is a prophecy.
It reminds people now that it is like a tarsal bone, and it hurts to the bone marrow.
"I will not forget the old man who promised me this promise in the past, and once sang generously for more than 300,000 soldiers and resolutely played the sword. If there is such a day, I will keep you from being lonely at the grave. β
She whispered, word for word, and repeated with difficulty what she had said at the time.
What kind of mood did you use to say such things at the time, and what kind of mood do you use now?
At that time, I was only afraid that I was half joking and half ridiculing him, right? I have already planned in my heart that as soon as the war is over, let him leave the country, and all the blame will be borne by himself, no matter what, it is impossible for him to be punished for his crimes, let alone die unjustly, let alone sprinkle wine and sing in front of the grave?
It's all a fictitious thingβ
Now, everything has become true, and what I have said has become a promise to a close friend. In the past, the old man made a promise, sang generously for me, and resolutely played the sword, but now only I am left to sprinkle wine in front of your grave and whisper it.
I vaguely remembered that he had also said half-seriously and half-jokingly at that time: If this is the case, the eldest princess needs to remember that every year, good songs, good wine, and good piano come to sacrifice to me.
When she was imprisoned in Luming Villa, in the West Garden, she once asked him, half tempted, half asked: "This palace does not like the blood and suffering caused by war. But compared to the weirdness of the people in Kyoto, I prefer the endless wilderness, the clouds are wide and the sky is high, and the horses ride the wind, and they are free. Even when the two armies fought against each other, they were mostly brave and witty, and they were full of joy. It's not like the general guess now, even if there is no bloodshed, it is more unpredictable and exhausting than the sword and sword. β
"The eldest princess doesn't realize that life is also a choice, you can choose to pursue Yiren, be determined, unforgiving, and vow not to give up until you reach your goal; But you can also choose to enjoy the beauty of the beauty, leave freely, and chase a freer and broader world. All choices are only in people's thoughts, Gu believes that the eldest princess is a person who has the ability and courage to choose. When the interruption continues, it is chaotic. He looked back at her with soft eyes, and said with a soft smile: "The eldest princess is the best choice now...... It is better for us to eat in time, otherwise the dishes will be cold and we will not taste the best I have cooked. β
Yun Yanzheng closed his clear phoenix eyes, and let the tears slide down his cheeks silently. Then, a slow and delicate song came out of the quiet hall and pavilion, and the tone was desolate.
"The leaves are pale, the white dew is frost, the so-called Yi people, on the water side, ......"
Today, it is nowhere to be found, no more.
Since then, Kyoto Yuecheng has been killed and bloody in the imperial city several times, and she just closed her door, didn't ask about everything, and sat in her house arrest prison in peace.
Yun Yanjin came to see her, and Yun Yanzheng had only one request: "Please ask the third brother to help me keep Gu Xi's body, and on the day when the injustice is revealed, I will personally worship and bury him in the name of the eldest princess and the boss." β
Yun Yanjin resolutely agreed.
In the end, all the evidence of the unjust case pointed to the murder of the second prince, and the emperor had to order a thorough investigation due to the various forces and voices of the court, the army, and the people. Once thoroughly investigated, the evidence of the second prince's guilt that Yun Yanjin had already prepared was confirmed one by one, and a large number of officials were destroyed.
Yun Yanzheng no matter how the court was discussing how to deal with King Jing, who was already intent on rebelling, now that the emperor had removed the guards in the eldest princess's mansion, he not only returned her free body, but also issued an order to commend her merits to show her innocence and show the emperor's grace. Just because, if he confronts King Jing of Jizhou, the emperor's calculation in his heart is that he is afraid that he will use her nine days to ride forward and kill each other with Jizhou's soldiers and horses, so as to retain the strength of the army he has cultivated.
I don't know that when he gave the order, it was also when Yun Yan claimed that he was sick and could not lead the army, and entrusted the Nine Heavens Horse to Yun Yanjin. At this moment, the emperor is about to make another difficulty. If Yun Yanjin is allowed to lead the army and return with a great victory, it will be a great achievement, not only will he need to be rewarded at that time, but at least he will establish his prestige in the army. If he was left in Beijing and sent his own army to fight, then this nine-day cavalry led by Yun Yanjin would be eyeing him in Kyoto, and it would also make people restless and sleepless.
