The emperor is gone.
The concubine is gone.
In the past, the majestic and solemn palace that dominated the world suddenly seemed to be a silent city of death.
There are many palaces, and there are clearly people, but no one dares to come out and walk around.
In the Zhaoyang Hall, there is a strong bloody smell.
Outside the Zhaoyang Palace, the sky was still bright, and the fog dispersed, letting the golden glazed tiles on the Imperial City Palace shine in the sunlight, shimmering with light.
Lu Jinxi was pulled by Gu Juefei and walked out.
She heard him ask: "You don't want to ask me, why did you have to design her to enter the palace?"
So Lu Jinxi stopped for a while, turned around and asked him, "Why?"
There was still fresh blood on Gu Juefei's cheeks, and a little bit on his neck.
She stretched out her hand to wipe it, only to find it was half dry and could not be wiped clean.
Gu Juefei took her hand and raised his clear eyes, as if hiding a bit of silence, but in the end he said slowly: "I said I was good for her, would you believe me? The Xue family has gradually disappeared. In the battle of Hanshan Pass, the Xue family has lost the pillar of Xue Kuang. There is no one who can keep pace with the Wei family in the court. If she does not enter the palace, the Wei family will never be Once plummeted, it will never be able to regain its former glory. And the Gu family will also be implicated. The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it, not to mention in this ever-changing court situation? She and I are not only Gu Juefei and Wei Yi are still the backbone of the two Gu Wei schools. No one is qualified to act willfully..."
However, Wei Yi did not want to enter the palace back then.
In the end, he never refuted every word and every sentence she had just said. Because he knew that those pungent and biting words were not at all untrue.
He is indeed vicious and cold-blooded, and he cares about the world, but he may not be regarded as a kind.
Wei Yi is ambitious, and has never been a simple person.
If she dared to send someone to the Grand Master's Mansion to bring Lu Jinxi over, she must have a plan to hold her hostage to threaten herself. If Lu Jinxi hadn't been alert and grabbed the dagger in his hand, who would have thrown the dagger right now...
Not yet known.
If he was really moved by her promise of "holding the emperor and commanding the princes", I'm afraid that when the time is right in the future, the person who really "holds the emperor and commands the princes" may not be his Gu Juefei.
Weiyi—
It's not that he can't stay, but he doesn't dare to stay.
What's more, there's no harm in other than that.
There is another Xue Tingzhi outside.
Xue Kuang's letter has clearly called Xiao Che a "pseudo-emperor". Since he dares to do this one after another shocking event today, he naturally prepares a way to deal with it with both hands, and he will never make himself Trapped in the belly and back of the enemy.
Gu Juefei let out a sigh of relief, and his eyes seemed a little tired.
Lu Jinxi didn't ask any more questions.
The two of them held hands together, and they were both slightly chilled by the wind on the palace road.
The heavy palace gates, the guards standing in line, and the swords and halberds in their eyes, all made Lu Jinxi aware of a severe cold that hadn't left.
Although winter is gone, spring is coming.
She pondered silently, thinking in a trance that Wei Yi's letter to Gu Juefei that day contained those three words, "I hate you".
So I don't know why, I suddenly smiled.
But she didn't inquire about what he was doing today and what plans he would have in the future. She just walked with him silently.
Along the way, although there were countless guards guarding them, no one came out to stop the two of them for half a step.
In this way, from the inner court to the palace gate.
But when they went out of the Tai Chi gate, they all saw the old man standing outside the Tai Chi gate.
The heavy first-grade crane official robe was pressed against his skinny body, and the thick color contrasted with the white hair on his head and the snow-white beard on his chin.
It was the old lady Fu Weibing.
He seems to already know what kind of turmoil has happened in the nine-layered palace behind this gate, and he can also see what kind of mystery the guards who are guarding strictly at the moment have revealed.
After all, he is older than Gu Chengqian, but he pays attention to maintenance on weekdays, and because Gu Chengqian has been suffering from illness all the year round, so he does not look very old.
It's just that at this moment, standing here, everyone can see the old state.
When he saw him, Gu Juefei's footsteps stopped quietly.
The old and the young looked at each other.
After a long time, Wei Binggan laughed. The words seemed to be very admirable, and he only sighed: "The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the future generations are terrifying! Seventeen years ago, the palace changed, and your father forced to kill the old man's sister; , his son forced to kill the old man's beloved daughter again! Great, great!"
awesome
Clearly mocking.
It's just that this elder of the three dynasties hid his full of resentment and sadness in this laughter, so that others couldn't tell his true emotions.
His old and penetrating eyes fell from Gu Juefei's body to Lu Jinxi's body, and he seemed to sigh at God's teasing of people's fate.
Lu Jinxi was not familiar with this old lady, and did not know how to speak.
Gu Juefei was silent for a long time when he heard the words, and finally he bowed and bowed, thanking him in a low voice: "Master Taifu is wrong. You are old, and I wish you condolences."
After he finished speaking, he didn't look at Wei Binggan again and walked past him.
Lu Jinxi naturally followed.
It was only after she had gone far away, she couldn't hold back, she turned her head and cast a distant gaze at the old figure standing silently in front of the forbidden palace.
Wei Bingqian stood firm.
It was as if he had never spoken to Gu Juefei before, and it was as if he had never bid farewell to his relatives twice, and the white-haired man sent the black-haired man.
The man stood there like a permanent statue.
So Lu Jinxi suddenly realized something: just like Gu Chengqian, who was calm even when he reached the end of his life, this is also an old man who knew the fate of his life. No matter how big the accident is, even if the heart is broken with grief, it is only so helpless and calmly faced...
On the bustling streets of the past, there was not a single pedestrian.
Together with Gu Juefei, she walked back slowly, from Changshun Street, which had been blocked by Fang Shaoxing and Liu Jin, to the entrance of Taishi's mansion.
The hanging white silk has not been removed, and the door is still full of silence.
Gu Juefei watched from a distance and slowly stopped, only to feel that the white eyes were really dazzling. He blinked, his eyes showing a dash of loneliness.
Looking back, looking at Lu Jinxi, he finally asked her, "Are you afraid?"
What are you afraid of
Are you afraid of everything that is about to come and unknown, or are you simply afraid of him
For a time, Lu Jinxi felt that the two people on the wedding night were upside down.
So she stretched out her hand, wrapped her arms around his firm waist, put her head on his chest, listened to his steady and powerful heartbeat, and smiled: "Don't be afraid, you still have me."
