When Gu Fuzhou was buried, he transported the coffin with a whale-roller and was escorted by Shi Pei, Wu Zhan and others all the way to the imperial tomb. It was buried at the entrance of the imperial tomb. After that, Lin Qingyu personally sent the spiritual seat set for Gu Fuzhou two years ago to the Taimiao, where he would enjoy the incense for future generations.
On this day, officials of the fifth grade and above in the DPRK entered the palace to send Gu Fuzhou for the last time. After the ceremony at the Taimiao, Shi Pei, Wu Guogong, Wu Zhan and Shen Huai left the palace together. Gu Fuzhou walked with them the closest before his death, and now they are reunited at Gu Fuzhou's funeral, and they naturally talked about the general's last wish.
"The general wants Master Lin to remarry?" Wu Zhan was taken aback, "Brother Shen, are you sure you heard me right?"
Shen Huaizhi is not good at lying. In order to be able to tell this lie, he did not practice much in private, but when it was really deceptive, his expression was still a little uncomfortable: "I, sure."
Fortunately, Shi Pei was convinced of what he said: "The general has a deep affection for Mr. Lin, and I am not surprised that he would say such a thing."
Shen Huai nodded solemnly: "Yes."
Wu Zhan could not understand: "If I die, I definitely hope that my mother-in-law will guard me for the rest of my life. When I think of another man who can hug her after my death, and my son will call that man father, I think I will be so angry. come over."
Shi Pei sighed: "The general is not you. Master Lin is cold-tempered and unwilling to interact with others. He doesn't even have a good friend who can drink at the same table. The general is afraid that after he leaves, Master Lin will be alone and die alone. "
Shen Huaizhi quickly agreed: "The general also said that if Master Lin was really lonely and died, he would not die."
Wu Guogong said gruffly, "This is easy to handle. The one in my family who likes to be a matchmaker for others, I asked her to find out if there is anyone in Beijing suitable for Mr. Lin-whether Mr. Lin is going to marry this time? ?"
Shi Pei smiled bitterly: "It's too early for Lord Guo to say this. The general's bones are still cold, so you will find your relatives openly to Master Lin. If this spreads out, what would others think of Master Lin? At least, you have to wait for Master Lin to finish. Let's talk about the one-year filial piety period."
After the news of Gu Fuzhou's death reached the capital, rumors about Lin Qingyu's unknown Kef were once again raging. Lin Qingyu married Lu Wancheng and Chongxi. Although Lu Wancheng lived for one more year, the Lu family almost fell apart. Later, he remarried Gu Fuzhou, but after two years, the invincible general was killed by him.
Lin Qingyu's temperament is cold, but her appearance is bright and charming. Such a beauty, even if she didn't do anything, could attract countless rumors with just a single face, let alone that he was a genuinely dead husband, but he was able to hold the power, and he was the same as the first and second husband. There are very outrageous words, saying that once he blames the family and the army, the next time he blames the country. Da Yu was afraid that he would die in the hands of his "monster". It's just that because of Lin Qingyu's power, no one dared to speak openly.
Duke Wu Guo just wanted to make Gu Fuzhou stun his eyes. He forgot about it for a while, patted his head and said: "Look at my brain, it's getting old and old."
Shen Huai thought and tried: "This matter can't be rushed. But Lord Guo can take advantage of this year to look for a suitable candidate for Lin."
Wu Zhan still felt awkward, and said with no good air: "Except for the general in this dynasty, I don't think anyone is worthy of Master Lin."
Several people were talking, and a voice sounded behind them: "Generals."
Wu Station turned around: "Oh, Lord Li."
Li Chan saluted several people one by one, saying: "I heard from below that Master Shen said that General Gu wanted Master Lin to remarry?"
"Yes." Wu Zhan scratched his head, "I don't know what he thinks, alas."
With a move in Li Chan's heart, a vain and vague hope rose, and then he spurned his shamelessness. "General Wu's words are extremely true. Except for General Gu, no one is worthy of Master Lin."
Shen Huai knew he wanted to say something but stopped: "Actually..."
"Duke Guo, General Shi, General Wu, Young Master Shen, please stay." Xiao Songzi ran all the way, catching up with a few people, "Master Lin invites a few to go to Dali Temple."
Shi Pei asked, "Dali Temple? What did Master Lin let us go to do?"
Shen Huaizhi shook his head, saying that he didn't know either.
Wu Zhan said "Oh", "I know I know, it should be for that matter."
Li Tan couldn't help asking: "Don't I need to go?"
Xiao Songzi smiled and said, "No, Master Lin only invited these four adults."
When the four arrived at Dali Temple, Lin Qingyu was already there waiting for them.
"I said that I will give an explanation to the soldiers in the northwest of the Jiangnan grain and grass robbery." Lin Qingyu said, "On the occasion that General Gu enters the land for safety, I will end this matter."
Several people looked at each other. Shi Pei said: "Master Lin meant that when the ration grass was robbed by Xixia, there was something hidden in it?"
Wu Zhan said: "At that time, we were afraid of disrupting your military spirit, so we didn't tell you. The thing is like this..."
The four followed Lin Qingyu to a water prison. Water torture is one of the great tortures. There is a reservoir on the upper level of the water prison. Once it is operated, the people in the prison will suffer from drowning. When it reaches the limit, it will give him a ray of life. Repeatedly, it is worse than death.
Xi Rong's lower body was soaked in the water, his whole body drenched, and his long hair stuck to his pale and swollen face. He heard footsteps, his eyes narrowed, and he looked at the person with difficulty. For an instant, he thought he had hallucinations: "Lin Qingyu...?"
Shi Pei is considered half a Confucian general, with a gentle temperament, but at this time his eyes are cracked, and he can't wait to tear his face into pieces: "It's you, a castrate... So we have no food and grass, and we have to attack the city forcibly. It's you. , So that General Gu..."
Lin Qingyu said: "General Shi."
Lin Qingyu stopped too late, and Xi Rong had already guessed a bit, with a hint of interest: "Is Gu Fuzhou dead or disabled?"
Wu Zhan roared: "Dog castration party, what face do you have to mention General Gu's name!"
Xi Rong smiled, and there was still a hint of feminine beauty on his face: "I mentioned it, how does Master Lin want to deal with me? Apart from palace torture and water torture, there is nothing I have never experienced before."
Lin Qingyu said: "Listening to Dali Temple Qing said, you still refuse to plead guilty."
"The winner is king, and the loser is the bandit. I have nothing to say." Xi Rong said calmly, "but, I never felt that I was wrong."
Grandpa Wu Guo was so angry that his beard trembled: "You still have a stiff mouth when you die!"
"Lin Qingyu despised the emperor, relied on the military power in the hands of the husband to cover the sky with one hand above the court, calling the wind and rain, and treating the emperor as nothing. I will eradicate the emperor's traitor, what's wrong?"
Shi Pei trembled: "Just because you colluded with Xixia, tens of thousands of soldiers died under Yongliang City, do you still think you are right?"
Xi Rong seemed to have heard some joke: "Lin Qingyu is not wrong in seeking power. I just did the same thing with him, so why did I make a mistake? Even if there is a mistake, it is because I miscalculated and lost every game."
Wu Zhan scolded: "One pay for one pay, the dog castrates the party, this is your retribution!"
"Retribution? Huh." Xi Rong looked at Lin Qingyu, curled her lips and sneered, "If there is real retribution in the world, why can Master Lin stand here unscathed? The blood on Master Lin's hand may not be less than mine."
Shen Huai frowned: "Nonsense."
"Is it nonsense, Master Lin knows better than anyone else." Xi Rong gave a cruel smile, "The Liang family of the Nan'an Hou Mansion madness, Lu Qiaosong who died tragically, Lu Niantao in the cold palace, and Chen Guifei, the former prince Xiao Wei... Which one is not Planted in your hands? Even these people standing next to you, how sincere do you are for them, but only if they are available, would you like to look at them more, right?"
Lin Qingyu looked at him blankly.
"Lin Qingyu, you are cold and cold, selfish and selfish, love for life, evil for death, where do you think you are better than me? We are just the same kind of people. If I were to be retributed, I must You are also indispensable. Look, Gu Fuzhou is dead now. The retribution you deserve is all on the one you love. Lu Wancheng, Gu Fuzhou... who will be next?"
Shen Huai looked at Lin Qingyu, only to see that there was no wave in the other's eyes, and it seemed that he did not take Xi Rong's words seriously.
Wu Zhan sipped: "It's really cheap for him to die if the dog castration party is dead, so he should be allowed to live in a water prison for the rest of his life. He can't survive, but he can't die!"
Lin Qingyu said indifferently: "This person will be handed over to you. There is still something in the palace, so I won't be able to accompany you."
Shen Huai said, "Master Lin?"
Lin Qingyu seemed to have not heard it, and strode out of the dungeon, leaving a few people staring at each other.
Xi Rong slowly closed his eyes, and smiled lowly: "This is what you fear the most, as expected. You also have weaknesses. It's a pity..."
Unfortunately, Lin Qingyu's weakness is also the hardest thing in the world. The weak underbelly will protect Lin Qingyu and become the armor that protects Lin Qingyu. The weakness of others is just the weakness that drags them back.
Lin Qingyu returned to the palace, accompanied Jiang Xing to dinner, and then reviewed the memo as usual, and it looked no different. Jiang Xing vaguely sensed that his mood was not right, and asked him that he was okay, and asked Jiang Xing to go to bed early, so don't bother him to read the memo.
In the middle of the night, Jiang woke up to drink water at night, suddenly saw a beauty sitting next to the bed, and said in a daze, "Qingyu?"
"It's me." Lin Qingyu lifted the quilt, took the initiative to go to bed, and drilled into Jiang Xing's arms.
Jiang Xing was flattered and didn't forget to laugh: "The pretty little widow doesn't sleep in the middle of the night, so has she come to climb my bed?"
Lin Qingyu didn't smile, and said softly, "Jiang Xing."
"Oh, I know you have a problem, you said it's okay." Jiang Xing pulled the quilt up, covered Lin Qingyu's shoulders, and said with restraint of sleepiness, "Say baby, who provoke you?"
Lin Qingyu opened his eyes and asked, "Do you believe that you pay for it?"
Jiang Xing simply said: "If you don't believe it, don't believe it either."
"But, what if it really happened? Because I have done all the evil things, that... made you suffer from the poisonous body and the pain of ten thousand arrows piercing your heart?" Lin Qingyu's eyes showed a dazed, helpless voice, "Although I hate the world, But I like you-can't it?"
