Qingguan's eyes fell on Gu Songtao's face.
In just one day, the once suave, wealthy and prosperous second master of the Gu family became an unkempt, disheveled prisoner. Only his rosy skin silently declared his former nobility.
There was a bit of joy and a bit of contempt in my heart.
Gu Songtao saw that the prince was silent and stared at her with eyes like swords, showing no emotion or anger, and his heart sank.
Zhao Jingyan looked past him, her eyes fell on Gu Yanqi, she raised her chin and said arrogantly: "I want to talk to Mr. Gu."
Gu Songtao hurriedly crawled back and pushed his old father. Gu Yanqi shook his head and stood up. The father and son fell to their knees at the same time, with a look of fear on their faces.
"The common people pay homage to the prince and ask for his mercy to save the Gu family from the fire and water."
Zhao Jingyan's eyes were slightly stern, and she smiled lightly and said, "Whether the Gu family can be saved depends on whether Mr. Gu can be a good person."
Gu Yanqi was startled and said uneasily: "Please give me a clear explanation."
Zhao Jingyan looked at the woman beside her out of the corner of her eye and said seriously: "I heard that the Gu family is rich enough to rival the country. If Mr. Gu wants to get out of this prison, he will probably have to shed some blood."
Shi Po's shocking words seemed to have exploded like thunder above his head, and the faces of the three masters of the Gu family were filled with deathly ashen.
How did he know
"A person lives for a lifetime, and the grass and trees fall for a lifetime. When he dies, it is over. Mr. Gu is a smart man, and he can make his own decisions about what is more important and what is more important."
Gu Yanqi felt as if his heart had been grabbed by someone, the pain was tight, and his face was like an eggplant beaten by frost.
"The common people... The common people just want to know... where did this news about the prince come from?"
"Is Mr. Gu doubting the authenticity of this king's news?"
Zhao Jingyan raised the corner of her mouth slightly and poured out a cold expression, "Qiyu is not guilty, but Huaibi is guilty. Doesn't Mr. Gu still understand where this prison disaster comes from?"
It was like a heavy hammer fell on the heads of the three of them, making them dizzy and Gu Yanqi gritted his teeth.
No wonder... no wonder.
The old King of Qi was obsessed with the treasure of the Gu family, but he couldn't get it, so he used a trick to exchange money for lives, and forced the Gu family to a dead end on unfounded charges.
Gu Yanqi felt hatred rising in his heart, "Meat on the chopping board means death anyway. There has never been a treasure in Gu's house. I'm afraid the prince will be disappointed this time."
Zhao Jingyan smiled nonchalantly, stroking Qingwan's hand, his face as bright as the moon.
Only then did Qingguan realize that her hand was still being held by the man. She tried to break away a few times, but his grip became tighter and tighter.
He wanted to have an attack, but he was afraid that the three people in the Gu family would see something, so he could only accept his fate. Just intersecting their fingers, it was as ambiguous as possible, and Qingwan felt a little uncomfortable on her face.
King Shou's smile took on a different flavor when it fell into Gu Yanqi's eyes.
Is it pity or ridicule
The meat is on the chopping board, so what if you disobey. He is already sixty years old, so death would not be a pity, but his son and grandson are still young, if even they...
Isn't it a disaster that will destroy the country
The subtle expression on Gu Yanqi's face could not escape Zhao Jingyan's eyes. After all, this old guy is still afraid of death.
He glanced sideways at Qingguan again, smiled deliberately and said: "Qing'er, since Mr. Gu doesn't accept my favor, let's go!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Gu Qingwan understood and replied in a lowered voice. As soon as he turned around, he turned around and broke away from the man's hand.
Zhao Jingyan failed in her hand and felt unhappy. She said coldly: "If I didn't care about Gu Liu's sake, I would still care about the life and death of the Gu family. Huh, it's so stupid. Just wait for death. By the way, Qing'er, Gu How many people are there in the mansion?"
Qing Guan said in a hoarse voice: "Back to the prince, there are three girls who have not left the palace, two young masters, and a brother."
Zhao Jingyan shook her head repeatedly and sighed, "Hey, I can't survive!"
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, please stay." Gu Yanqi fell to the ground, covering his face with his hands, and muddy tears flowed from his fingers.
Zhao Jingyan and Qingguan looked at each other, with smiles flowing out of their eyes.
"Qing'er, come here and let me lean on you. I can't stand it if you stand for too long."
Gu Qingguan hurriedly walked to Zhao Jingyan to support her. The latter put his arm around her shoulders and leaned half of his body on her.
Gu Qingwan trembled for no reason, this guy... is simply a bastard.
Exit the punishment department and enter the carriage.
Gu Qingguan looked at each other angrily, and for some reason, a surge of anger suddenly arose in his heart, as if he had been tricked.
The scene in the sky prison just now must have been intentional on his part.
Zhao Jingyan looked at her with a smile, her phoenix eyes were as handsome as pear blossoms.
"Three days later, when the old King Qi comes back, he must go to Tianlao to test and force the Gu family to hand over their wealth. In order to save his life, Gu Yanqi must reveal everything. Everything is just as Wan Wan planned."
Qingguan glanced at him coldly and said with an ugly expression: "In this case, there will be Laotinglin."
She is angry!
Zhao Jingyan said with an aggrieved look: "I hold your hand to prevent you from falling, and I hug you from behind to prevent others from becoming suspicious. Wan Wan, I am so unjustly accused!"
Even if he was wronged, why did he want to intersect with her? Qingguan almost couldn't help but blurt out.
But when the words came to my mouth, I felt a little unreasonable. I had already grasped them, but I still had to worry about how to hold them.
That's all, stay away from this guy.
Zhao Jingyan looked at her face, which turned white and red for a while, and felt that she looked very pretty.
I sighed softly in my heart. Although she was old and wise, she was still a fourteen-year-old woman. Such a vivid face was what a woman should have.
"Why were you crying just now?"
Upon hearing this, Qingguan straightened his body and said vaguely: "The smell in the prison is pungent, and my eyes were smoked."
Zhao Jingyan just smiled lightly, her eyes as deep as a cold pool.
Qingguan looked back, their eyes met, and the smile diluted the sharpness between the man's brows.
She felt confused.
Returning home, Yueniang and others came up to her with sullen faces.
Seeing that their expressions were wrong, Qingguan hurriedly said: "What happened?"
Chunni had a hot temper and couldn't hold it back. She poured the beans into the bamboo tube and vomited them all.
After Qingguan heard this, he sneered in his heart.
When she was still a madman, no one in the house looked at her. Now that the Gu family was defeated, everyone came to beg her.
The human heart is as thin as a piece of paper, and the world is like a new chess game. People in the Gu family may have one face at a time, but they can change very quickly!
Yueniang looked at the young lady's face, and hatred welled up in her heart.
Today, no one has died in the house. First, the old lady dragged a sick person to the door in person. Then the eldest grandma took the two young masters, and then the second master's three aunts.
If you ask for it well, then that's all. However, these people have no consciousness of asking for help at all, and their words are somewhat arrogant, as if others owe them something.
Qingguan lowered his head and thought deeply for a while, then said softly: "From tomorrow onwards, the house will be closed."
"Yes, Miss." Yueniang nodded in agreement.
The door was pushed open and Chunni came in, "Miss, Aunt Liu is here."
Gu Qingguan's eyes lit up, "Invite people in!"
After a while, Mrs. Liu came in, filled with happiness.
Qingguan didn't wait for her to speak and said, "Yue Niang, give her the things."
Yueniang handed over the box, "Aunt Liu, everything is inside. Open it and take a look."
Mrs. Liu did not open it, but held the box in her arms.
Here are the private money she saved from selling her house, and the twenty thousand taels of silver promised by the sixth lady, which were kept with the sixth lady to avoid the house being raided.
With this money, although I won't be rich in the future, it will be enough to live leisurely.
She said softly: "I can trust Miss Six."
Seeing her acting like this, Qingguan praised her slightly and said: "His body needs to be recuperated slowly. Qingfengtang has branches all over the country. There is also a piece of my handwriting inside. You can take it and go to any branch. Someone checked his pulse and prescribed medicine for free."
Ms. Liu's heart felt warm and her eyes showed gratitude. When Miss Six made the deal with her, she didn't mention this benefit.
"The carriages and horses have been prepared. Come back and redeem yourself. Put a Kongming lantern in the sky and someone will escort you out of the city. From now on, find a place with green mountains and green waters and live in peace."
Ms. Liu looked moved and stood up again to say blessing, "Thank you so much, Miss Sixth, for your support."
Qing Guan nodded and said: "You don't have to thank me, just thank yourself. The Gu family is already in ruins, so you leave quickly to avoid getting involved."
There seemed to be a freezing cold air coming out from under her feet. Mrs. Liu's heart tightened and she hurriedly said "yes".
She grew up in a theater and has seen a lot of things in the world and is extremely smart. She could more or less guess the Gu family's defeat, but she couldn't ask, and she didn't dare to ask.
When people are alive, it is better to be more confused. If they are too smart, they will be misled by their cleverness.
"Goodbye now, Miss Six, take care of yourself."
Qingguan stood up and smiled, "Same for you."
As soon as Mrs. Liu left, Yueniang said: "Miss, this Aunt Liu has a certain eye for her. She knows what to ask and what not to ask."
Qingguan smiled and said: "He is a smart man. I like to work with such smart people. I will tell Chen Ping later and send him back five hundred miles after leaving the city, so that the couple can feel at ease."
Yueniang nodded and said, "Don't worry, Miss."
As soon as he finished speaking, Silver Needle's voice sounded outside, "Chen Ping is back!"
"oh?"
Say Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will arrive.
Qingguan felt happy, "Please come in quickly."
After a while, Chen Ping came in dressed in smart clothes, cold and dusty.
"Miss, the person who imitated Imperial Physician Qian's handwriting has been found."
Qingguan stood up suddenly, "Who is it?"
"No matter how smart the lady is, she can't guess who she is." Chen Ping lamented.
Yue Niang laughed angrily, "What are you talking about? Tell me quickly."
"Miss, please remember that in January of this year, the eldest grandson of Zhenguo Palace was full moon."
Qingwan frowned slightly.
Of course she remembered that day when she rescued the prince's aunt, He, in the back garden, and was framed for murder.
"Is it the He family?"
Chen Ping said hurriedly: "Miss, she is not the He family, but the Crown Prince's wife, the Crown Princess Dong, who is now banned."
It's her? Qingwan was unexpected.
"Miss, this Dong family comes from a rich family of poets and calligraphers. She is extremely good at calligraphy and painting, and is best at copying." Qingguan said, "How did you find out it was her?"
