Chapter Ninety-Nine: Hope and Light
Chapter Ninety-Nine: Hope and Light
Qing Jingyao is one of the few people who knows Gu Lingge's whereabouts. Qing Ruifan trusted her after all, and she didn't hide anything, plus she was clamoring to see Gu Lingge before, Qing Ruifan couldn't resist her, so she had to tell everything. He still likes his sister very much.
At this time, Qing Jingyao also took all the information in her hand and entered the palace, although she did not approve of what Qing Ruifan said about entering the palace. But she appreciates the courage to move forward. The people of the Qing family are all the same-
Forgive me for not knowing gentleness, only the courage to love you.
This is also why Qing Haoxuan became the emperor. There are so many things in this world, and the most fearful thing is just an attachment, as long as you keep thinking about this, then no matter what else happens, you can easily resolve it.
"Brother Huang, are you sure you really want to go?" Qing Jingyao still can't imagine it, if it is really because of the death of the country, it is indeed a good choice for the royal drive to conquer in person, but now the overall peace is now, Tatar is still a small problem, and all the news in southern Xinjiang is still generally stable, obviously everything is stable, so there is no point in moving the people to pro-campaign.
"No one really cares about that." Qing Ruifan's expression was a little sad. He knew that people would die at any time on the frontier, and he understood that every life was irretrievable, but that person was Gu Lingge, Gu Lingge who he had always taken care of.
People want to be strong when they are weak, and only power and money can really protect their treasures. But he is already the emperor, she has become the most powerful person in the entire empire, why can't she catch what she likes?
Qing Ruifan didn't have a whim, he thought very clearly. But he also understands that it is absolutely impossible for the Queen Mother to really let him go to the expedition in person, but he has to collect as much information as possible now, even if he can't go, he must do a good job for Chu Zhaonan's actions. He could only pin all his hopes on Chang Dong and Chu Zhaonan.
The Queen Mother really came over last night, regardless of the cold at night, a dark brown mink cloak, a heavy sandalwood fragrance on her body, and her face was solemn, as if she was about to go to the battlefield when she was about to go to the battlefield.
"Emperor, do you know what you're doing?" The Queen Mother's voice was light, but it contained deep reproaches and concerns. In the impression of the Queen Mother, her own emperor has always been a calm and delicate person, and there is absolutely no time to act directly without saying a word when encountering things. Is Gu Lingge's influence on him really so great?
"Is the queen mother trying to dissuade me?" Although Qing Ruifan didn't have that thought, he probably didn't want to end it like this, after all, no one had ever been able to break through the Queen Mother's mind, and he hadn't fully understood her for so many years, so he could only be half careful and half dependent.
The Queen Mother had an arbitrary time when she was still the queen, and the harem during that time was simply a disaster. The Queen Mother eradicates all dissidents and crosses out all the characters who can pose a threat to herself. At that time, Concubine Zhao was still an ordinary concubine, and she had just become pregnant. Unable to resist the emperor's wishes, Concubine Zhao still had her sister's escort in the first few months, and it was a good story in the palace at that time, all of which were said to be the first emperor's benevolence and the concubine's blessings.
But after all, it was only for a moment. The queen mother was all jealous and hateful, but she was also sharp-minded. After observing for a few days, he knew where the breakthrough point was, and then found someone to easily kill Concubine Zhao's sister. Although the emperor said that he was shocked for a day, he only compensated Concubine Zhao for all her honor, and wrote down her edict to extend her longevity, so that she successfully escaped from the funeral army.
When Concubine Zhao heard the news at the time, she didn't know whether to cry or laugh, she was dumbfounded, just pinching a piece of brocade and crying. Although his body recovered after half a month, his momentum was not as good as before, and he held his glory and wealth in a safe corner. Qing Haoxuan also went with her and didn't say anything more.
"The mourning family just hopes that the emperor can understand that this desolation is above, the emperor of heaven and man, and the emperor must not forget the priority." The Queen Mother could hear a faint impatience in Qing Ruifan's voice, and she suddenly felt uncomfortable. She is the queen mother, and there are still so many things in the entire palace that she can manage.
"The teachings of the queen mother, I take it to heart." Qing Ruifan's eyebrows were faint. He stood in front of the table, looking at the queen mother, who was graceful and luxurious, dignified and virtuous, and his heart was a little angry. He didn't believe that if something happened to Qing Haoxuan, she would not ask for calm and dignified in the same way.
Qing Ruifan didn't think of one thing, the queen mother is a woman in the harem, and if she doesn't hold the power of the previous dynasty, she won't understand what is important. All she wants is her own security, and the conditions to be able to guarantee her own stability, but what else is there?
"No matter what, Brother Huang, you just have to know it in your heart. The royal sister-in-law is such a special woman, nothing will happen. Qing Jingyao didn't know how to comfort her, so she only had such a dry sentence.
"It's the special that makes people feel dangerous." Qing Ruifan has recently learned about Kuoyuan, and since Chang Dong came back with the news that Kuoyuan was in Guicheng, he has checked it well. Kuoyuan is cruel by nature, likes sheep, but also likes to peel sheep, likes to destroy all good things, but love and hate are always clear, this is the only point worthy of people's liking.
It's a tough opponent. Qing Ruifan frowned, and then saw that Qing Jingyao also had a worried look on her face. Pursing his lips, he asked, "Yaoyao, what do you think of this matter?" "Qing Jingyao's angle is different from Qing Ruifan's, and she may be able to have a different breakthrough.
However, Qing Jingyao just shook her head. She couldn't make a judgment, and any step she made could indirectly cause Chu Zhaonan to be injured. The princess of Zhenguo, who has always been firm and scheming, can't give any answer.
Guicheng.
Since ancient times, the greatest joy of execution has been to feel one's own pleasure through the wailing and pain of the prisoner. The results are not expected, but the process can be pleasant. After all, that's all the punishment can do.
Kuoyuan has never been a good person, he can kill people like hemp without blinking, or he can throw off his armor in an instant and be gentle as water. It's just that that kind of time is gone, just like the period when a person is most like a child, after that period, even if it is stormy, there is no going back.
He stood on the bluestone paved ground, the pebbles protruding into paths, and there was a gentle sound of silk bamboo outside, revealing the relative tranquility of your city. Gu Lingge's attention was not on the feeling that his body was getting more and more cracked. She's in a trance.
Kuoyuan's time for peeling sheep slowed down by half this time, because he deliberately wanted to see Gu Lingge's reaction, but Gu Lingge didn't make any movement, just looked into the distance and was distracted, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Kuoyuan felt that his play was a little strange. He put the white skull in his hand and weighed it back and forth, a pair of sharp eyes like eagles looked directly at Gu Lingge, her focus did not meet his, this distant feeling made him feel strange in his heart.
He had already seen that the skin on Gu Lingge's waist was already tearing, slowly soaking in blood, which had already made the green light clothes have a strange color.
"This king thinks that it is not good to leave a scar on the girl's body, you want to tell the truth, this king will let you down." Kuoyuan took the horsewhip, intending to cause panic.
But now Gu Lingge's eyes were all black, and she couldn't see anything, she just subconsciously looked up. The feeling of the wind blowing made her feel a little more comfortable, and the wound on her waist was scorching, and she didn't have the hands to care, so she simply bit her lip and thought about something else.
Kuoyuan's words sounded like mosquitoes to her, but trying to identify her could still roughly imagine Kuoyuan's swagger. She didn't want to pay attention to it, her mouth was already full of blood, and the smell of blood diffused made her feel even more uncomfortable.
The "snap" whip began to wrap tightly around all of her body like silk threads. The iron ball began to shake, Gu Lingge's body was distorted, she tried hard to bite her lip, but she was caught off guard and didn't block Kuoyuan's slap, the sharp palm wind and strong strength, Gu Lingge subconsciously leaned to the side, the blood in her mouth began to flow out, and the little ** couldn't be suppressed.
When Kuoyuan heard this, he became even more energetic, and continued to sweat with the whip. By the time he finally got tired, Gu Lingge was close to fainting. With the great strength of Kuoyuan, Gu Lingge is still flesh and blood after all.
Seeing that the person in front of him looked like a pile of dead meat, Kuoyuan put the whip in a daze. Let someone untie the iron ball, throw her on the ground, and then walk away without looking.
Gu Lingge was lying on the side, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth. Although the slap just now made her lose face, it successfully recalled some of her senses, and her eyes were a little brighter. She saw that the sky was bright, and although she still had no strength in her body, she still had hope.
Man is a very amazing species, obviously he is already desperate for everything, but he will still be defeated by a ray of sunshine, and then slowly ignite new thoughts. The source of hope is unfounded, but seeing is victory. Gu Lingge had never believed in these things before, but there was really a time in his heart when he was inspired.
All feelings were nowhere to be found at the beginning, just like all paintings, at the beginning they were just a wolf's hair, an inkstone, a piece of rice paper, and a writer.
Someone outside stood quietly at the top of the inn, the black and blue clothes intertwined in the sunlight was faintly harmonious. He looked over to the government office, and unsurprisingly saw blood all over the courtyard. His eyes suddenly lit up, and then his hands clenched into fists, and a thick murderous aura rose on his whole face.
There was a heavy dust on the ground, and there was no trace on the roof of the inn, coming and going like a trace of the wind.
