Chapter 18 Hanging the Tree from the Corpse
Although he was very reluctant, Gong Que still ate the chopstick dish.
Xu Yuan grinned and clapped his hands: "Late, so good!" β
The corners of Gong Que's happy mouth went down.
Suddenly, someone seemed to be patted on the shoulder: "Imperial sister! β
Gong Que turned his head and saw Gong Yiyi and Gong Ziqi standing beside him.
I saw Gong Yiyi suddenly stretch out his claws, snatch the fan in Gong Que's hand, and fiddle with it in his hand: "You have been holding such a thing to block your face, what?" Afraid of being watched? β
Gong Que shook his head.
"Why don't you speak, you want to be a little mute?" Gong Yiyi's hand couldn't help but ravage Gong Que's little face with baby fat.
Well, it's soft and feels super good!
A certain big demon king couldn't help but turn around and share his feelings with his brother: "Do you want to pinch it?" It's really soft!! β
Before the words fell, his hand was ruthlessly knocked off by a certain group.
I saw the little group in front of me coldly spit out two words: "Don't touch." β
Gong Yiyi looked at Tuanzi's red cheeks: It's a little interesting!
Before he could tease his little imperial sister again, he saw the crazy woman next to her suddenly protect her, shouting: "Don't pinch!" It will hurt!! β
For a moment, Gong Que was extremely relieved.
Gong Yu pursed his lips and didn't say anything, but Gong Ziqi bowed to Xu Yuan very politely: "Aunt Xu." β
Xu Yuan looked at him vigilantly.
At this time, Gong Que poked his head out of Xu Yuan's arms, took advantage of Gong Yuan's inattention, snatched back the fan he was holding in his hand, and then retracted his head again.
Gong Yiyi: What are you doing here???
He just wanted to say something, but he heard Liu Jin shouting at the top of his voice to everyone to return to their seats.
In desperation, he had no choice but to return to his seat.
Before leaving, he saw Xiao Tuanzi grimacing at him.
He was so angry that he called that man a good job!
When he turned around, he saw Gong Wan glancing at him softly, so frightened that he shrunk his neck and didn't dare to say anything more.
The emperor said that he wanted to assess the cultural level of the princes and princesses, so a puzzle came up -
"I wish to see the autumn moon every year, and often get the middle of the festival."
said that it was a poem, who could guess that there would be a reward.
The audience was silent.
"Say, who can answer that?" Gong Yiyi couldn't help but complain in Gong Ziqi's ear.
At this time, Gong Ziqi was thinking about the mystery, and Gong Yiyi's words were a kind of harassment to him.
Gong Yiyi only listened to his good brother and said indifferently, "Don't make noise."
Gong Yiyi: "??? β
A little bored, he began to observe the looks of the crowdβ
The eldest brother is still eating stupidly, the second brother bows his head and ponders, the fifth brother gives up directly, the sixth brother doesn't know what he's looking at, the seventh brother is in a daze, and the eighth brother is too young to understand.
The eldest princess was so anxious that she was a little angry, and the second princess suddenly shed tears for her own inusement, and the third princess ...... is still using a fan to block his face.
No, who can solve such a rare problem!
The words in the title have to be rearranged to form a verse in a poem.
It's just hard to be a person.
Just when everyone was sad and thinking hard, a crisp voice suddenly sounded-
"Good season, I wish to have every year, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is common."
The emperor was overjoyed, and the word "reward" fell, but no one stepped forward to receive the reward.
Looking at everyone at the table again, you look at me, I look at you, looking for the person who answered the question blankly.
Just when everyone was guessing who told the riddle, they heard that crisp voice sound again-
"It's "Mid-Autumn Moon", right?"
Looking for the sound, I saw the third princess sitting on the seat, covering her face with a fan, lowering her eyes, staring at the moon cakes on the gold plate.
Feeling everyone's blazing eyes falling on him, Gong Que raised his head and pretended to be innocent: "Isn't it? β
The concubines hated it so much that their teeth itchedβ
How did you let this little girl guess first!
Gong Lin stroked his palm and smiled: "I guessed it well, my father ...... a lot"
Before the word "reward" could be spoken, I saw a little eunuch running up in a hurry and saying something in Liu Jin's ear.
Immediately, Liu Jin passed the words to Gong Lin's ears with a solemn face.
Gong Lin was shocked: "What?!! β
β¦β¦
Gong Huanyan died.
This is a fact that Gong Que calculated.
The bells in the palace rang for a while, and when they got there, they heard Lan Shihuai crying with a sharp voice before they saw the corpse.
Its voice was terrible, like a ghost's roar.
People's emotions are not the same, Gong Que only thinks she is noisy.
Everyone only felt bad luck when they saw the corpse, and they didn't dare to step forward, but she didn't shy away from it, went straight to the front to take a look, and even stretched out her hand to test its neck.
It's not cold yet......
What are you doing! Who will allow you to touch my Huan'er! β
Lan Shihuai seemed to want to eat Gong Que, and when she went up, she grabbed Gong Que's slender and white neck, and there was especially fire in her eyes, as if she wanted to burn Gong Que to death.
She pinched hard, and Gong Que held back from time to time with a red face.
Fortunately, Gong Lin ordered someone to catch Lan Shihuai's limbs in time, but the person was desperately struggling, and everyone couldn't stop her for a while.
"Enough!" In the end, it was Gong Lin's order that scared Lan Shihuai.
She stared blankly, and Gong Que could see that there were tears hidden in her eyes, her eyes were red and swollen, and her face was incredulous.
Everyone else thinks she's crazy, and so does Gong Lin.
Gong Que didn't think about this farce, and he gasped and coughed a few times from time to time.
When it eased up, she went to see Gong Huanyan's body again.
The princes and princesses looked at their royal sisters who were standing in front of the eighth child and looking at them carefully.
The little man stood there, and when he heard footsteps, he looked back and lowered his eyes.
They waited for her to raise her eyes and look back, but she didn't, so she turned around again and went straight to check Gong Huanyan's body.
This scene made everyone panic, and no one knew why one of her daughters' family was so bold.
But Gong Que felt that these things were too normal-
There have been many hanged people on this tree, and every three days there will be people hanging here, either by suicide or by homicide.
She could hear them sobbing all the time.
Gong Que slowly untied Gong Huanyan's coat, and a silver needle inside pierced straight into his heart.
She pulled the needle out with all her might, about a finger long.
It was stained with blood, and it was slowly dripping from the tip of the needle to the ground.
Gong Que was not afraid, wiped the silver needle with Gong Huanyan's robe, and looked at it carefully.
When everyone thought she was going to say something, she threw the needle aside at random, wiped the blood on her hands, and then used a handkerchief to plug the place where Gong Huanyan was still bleeding.
Then he used his petite body to hug Gong Huanyan, who was a head taller than her, from the white silk, staggered two steps before putting him flat on the ground, and took out a handkerchief from his sleeve robe to cover his face.
After doing all this, Gong Que meekly returned to Gong Lin's side and stood beside him, and after softly calling "Father", he stopped talking.
Nothing that seems to have happened has happened.
"Someone come, and put away the body of the eighth prince, and bury it tomorrow." Gong Lin just looked at all this with a solemn face from beginning to end, turned his head, and gave something to Liu Jin.
Lan Shihuai looked at him in a daze, as if she was looking at a stranger.
Gong Que glanced back at her, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, and followed Gong Lin away.
