The courtyard was silent, waiting until Xie Xiao left before Gu Yu looked away.
She glanced at it, but in the end she didn't throw away the bamboo flute, but put it in her cuff. The palace servants outside saw King Mobei leaving, so they dared to enter the palace.
Xie Xiao's words flashed in her mind, Gu Yu paused with her fingertips, and finally said: "Accompany me for a walk."
The palace people didn't know what the king of Mobei and the queen mother said, so they could only bow their heads and whispered, Gu Yu didn't care that much.
These three days passed quickly, Gu Yu ate, slept and ate every day, except that Fu Jinming would come to pay his respects from time to time, her life was quite leisurely.
Until she heard the news that the heroine was released from prison.
As soon as the wedding procession left, Fu Jinming issued a decree of amnesty for the world, and some people who had been imprisoned in the dungeon for a long time were also released.
Gu Yuchen paused when she looked at the mirror, knowing that the plot was about to begin. After Princess Huining gets married, the hostess will come to sue the imperial court.
She was expecting those people to overthrow her in her heart, but her face remained calm, with a cold look on her face. If people know what the queen mother is thinking, they will only think that the queen mother has a tendency to be abused.
The system chuckled: "Congratulations, two-thirds of the plot has passed."
Not to mention the system, even Gu Yu felt that the world went so smoothly this time, she hardly encountered any obstacles, and went all the way to the later stage.
Now just wait for being slapped in the face twice, and he can finish the plot completely.
Gu Yu pursed her lips, feeling a little strange in her heart. Isn't it more and more difficult to talk through books at the beginning? Why does she seem to be getting simpler and simpler now
She was puzzled, but the system's words made her heave a sigh of relief, and her brows and eyes softened a little.
Ah Xi has been getting better these few days. Although she can't come to serve her, she often comes to accompany the Queen Mother. Seeing Gu Yu's frown relaxed at this moment, she pauses in her heart, thinking that the Queen Mother is happy for the married second lady. I couldn't help but feel a little softer in my heart.
Although the queen mother looked cold and unkind, she was very kind to her own people. Not just family members, but even servants. Ah Xi pursed her lips and smiled, and said slowly: "The queen mother can rest assured now, I heard that Mobei's eldest son is also a good-looking talent, and the second young lady will marry Mobei and life will not be too bad."
As she said this, Gu Yu's face couldn't help but soften a little. When the maid who was combing her hair by her side pinned the hairpin in her hair, she said calmly: "Since she has left the capital, the days to come will depend on her own life." Made good."
A snowy face of hibiscus was reflected in the mirror, which made people's hearts tremble. The servants in the palace were caught by Gu Yu's radiance, and their fingertips couldn't help but pause until Gu Yu's face became slightly cold, before he quickly knelt down and pleaded guilty.
It's just that I still can't help but look up again.
Since Gu Yu came to this world, she has gotten used to them kneeling down from time to time. Seeing that the palace maid was really scared, she waved her down.
Ah Xi saw that the man had rough hands and feet, and wanted to step forward, but Gu Yu shook her head slightly: "You should be like this before you are well."
While the two were talking, they saw someone rushing in from outside the hall in a panic.
"Queen, it's not good."
The eunuch, who was usually cautious in words and deeds, didn't even have time to salute, so he shouted: "Queen Mother, something is wrong."
His tone made Gu Yu's heart skip a beat, with an inexplicably bad premonition, but she kept calm and asked, "Why are you making such a fuss?"
The eunuch lowered his head and said in a trembling voice: "Forgive me, the Queen Mother. Today is the second young lady's big wedding. Old General Gu took Gu Jiajun to see her off in person, but who knows when the son of Mobei had the intention of rebelling?" , the sending-off team was caught in an ambush unsuspectingly, General Gu, General Gu, he..."
When he said this, he was a little afraid to say any more.
There was a dead silence in the hall, and everyone knelt down in fright. Gu Yu grabbed the chair, her heart sank slowly, and she asked sharply, "What's wrong with my father?"
The eunuch knew that his life would be lost when he heard these words, but he still kowtowed and said truthfully: "There is no news of General Gu and Miss Second, and the cavalry brought by the Gu family suffered countless casualties. This trip, I am afraid that something unexpected has happened."
After he finished speaking, he slammed heavily on the ground.
After the eunuch's words were spoken, Gu Yu was stunned for a moment, not because she was sad, heartbroken, or something, but felt that the development of the plot was too strange.
Xie Chengying's sudden rebellion made Gu Yu a little puzzled. Mobei has been very peaceful until the end of the original book. This is why although she is a little strange about this marriage, she has never delved into it. Letting Xie Xiao leave was just a way to delay the attack so as not to affect the plot.
It never occurred to her that the son of Mobei would really rebel, and that her father and sister had no news at this time.
It is clear that the Gu family mansion will fall after the heroine sues the imperial court, so why does it start so soon now
She was confused and intertwined with all kinds of doubts, and before she even had time to ask what was going on with the system, she was about to react on her face.
According to the original owner's personality, when he suddenly learned that his relatives had encountered an accident at this time, the first thing he did was not believe it. Gu Yu's face was cold, her knuckles turned white and she asked, "Where did you get the news, it's just nonsense!"
"Come on, take this rumor-mongering eunuch down to the dungeon and beat me hard!"
The guards heard the queen mother's angry voice coming in, the eunuch kowtowed to beg for mercy, and before being dragged away, he said: "The queen mother forgives the sin, everything the slave said is true."
Gu Yu's forehead twitched, her face turned completely cold.
Ah Xi was also a little flustered, looked at Gu Yu's face, stood up and asked cautiously: "Queen Mother, why don't you revise the book and go back home to ask?"
For the matter of sending relatives off, the ones who know best are their own family members, and this is the only way now.
Gu Yu didn't believe that this matter was so simple, but when the eunuch said it, she had already believed it. If something didn't really happen, no one would risk their lives to report it to him.
She suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, nodded slightly, and said to the human standing beside her: "Prepare your pen and ink, I want to repair a book and go home."
Gu Yu was caught off guard by the eunuch's words.
That Xie Xiao realized something was wrong as soon as he entered Mobei. Although he is the nominal king of Mobei, the power of Mobei is not simple. Xie Xiao's three elder brothers each occupied a share of power, and there was always a hint of competition in the past, but when he went back today, he found that the Mobei army was all united. All rectified and rested outside the boundary line, looking like they were preparing for war.
His heart sank, and he calmly glanced at the invitation letter he received after returning home, feeling some inexplicable bad premonition in his heart.
It is hard not to think too much about the fact that the three major forces in Mobei can be united except him.
Xie Xiao suppressed the guessing in his heart, and decided to go to the banquet to find out, but he didn't know that he was really guessed right.
The three generals in Mobei really united together, and the eldest son Xie Chengying even used the name of welcoming the relatives to design the Gu family, so that all the five thousand horses of the Gu family were off the road.
When Gu Yu received the reply, she gasped, a little unbelievable that this was really the case.
Her face was ashen, and the hand holding the letter slowly tightened.
Seeing the Empress Dowager like this, Ah Xi already had some guesses, and didn't dare to say any more for a while.
The Gu family and the Queen Mother depend on each other, the Queen Mother usually relies on the Gu Family to do government affairs, and the Gu family also relies on the Queen Mother for convenience. Now that Old General Gu has an accident, it is tantamount to cutting off Gu Yu's arms.
This situation made Gu Yu's complexion more condensed.
Everyone was trembling with fear, Gu Yu took a deep breath, knowing that she should not show her weakness now, the most important thing should be to find General Gu and her sister first.
She handed the letter to the maid at the side, and said coldly: "Follow me to see Your Majesty."
The maid answered in a low voice, Gu Yu settled down and put on her cloak.
In the Hall of Qinzheng, Fu Jinming had been waiting for a long time.
It's all going according to his plan. Join hands with Xie Chengying to raise troops when Princess Huining gets married. The condition is that he completely obtains Mobei, making Xie Xiao, the king of Mobei, in name only.
In the early morning of this morning, all the people who were going to be married off had already been buried in the border, and Gu Yu's most important support was completely gone.
Fu Jinming has been waiting, and Gu Yu came to him after knowing the matter. At that time, he can tell her that not only General Gu, but also the Gu family and the entire Gu family army in the capital will be completely wiped out.
The queen mother who has always been aloof will have nothing.
However, she can still have him.
Fu Jinming's hand holding the pen paused, and he tapped a stroke on the new painting, finally drawing the magnolia and jade hairpin. It was exactly what Gu Yu wore on the day she went out of the palace to meet Xie Xiao.
Queen Mother, he said that person's name, and the door was pushed open.
Gu Yu had something on her mind, so she walked faster, and everyone who walked along the way bowed their heads and dared not speak much. When they reached Qinzheng Hall, the eunuch in front of the door saw someone coming and wanted to report, but Gu Yu pushed him away, and could only watch the queen mother push open the door and break in.
"Your Majesty, this, this..." He hesitated, Fu Jinming raised his head after hearing the voice, glanced at him lightly and said: "All the servants should go out."
Hearing His Majesty's words, those people quickly retreated.
Gu Yu's palms clenched tightly, and after the door was closed, she said coldly, "Your Majesty still has the heart to paint after such a big event happened in the Mobei prince's wedding ceremony?"
Hearing her words, Fu Jinming paused his fingertips, raised his eyes and looked calm, a smile appeared on his clear face for a long time.
"The Empress Dowager is worrying too much. This matter is related to the government and should not be taken care of by the Empress Dowager." He smiled as usual, but there was a hint of irreversible force in his words, as if warning her.
Gu Yu frowned and sneered: "Your Majesty is confused. General Gu is my father, and Princess Huining is my sister. Why can't I ask?"
Perhaps because of her anger, her face became even colder, and the cold face reflected by the lampstand made her look even colder and more beautiful, which made people's hearts toss.
Fu Jinming stopped writing, and suddenly stopped smiling.
He handed the memorial on the table to Gu Yu, and said after a long time: "I think the Queen Mother should read this memorial before questioning me."
"From the time when the first emperor was alive to now, less than a year after his death, it is a crime for the Gu family to occupy the court and form a party for personal gain."
"Persecution of loyal ministers, assassination of ministers' family members, this is the second crime."
He watched Gu Yu's fingers turning white as he flipped through the memorial, and his eyes were calm: "Cooperating with the enemy and treason is the third crime."
"I have already sent people to the Gu residence and the homes of the Gu family's cronies, and searched for the secret letter of collaborating with the enemy, which proves that what the memorial says is true. Now, shouldn't the queen mother explain it to me?"
He held Gu Yu's hand and said word by word.
In the dimly lit study room, the candles were dimly lit. When Gu Yu looked at Fu Jinming, she met the complex and contemplative /desire/ in his eyes. She had seen this kind of gaze in many people.
That is the meaning of encroachment and possession.
The next second, Gu Yu saw the man's indifferent brows and eyes slightly retracted, and smiled coldly: "Of course, the queen mother has another choice."
