853, 100 steel refining into soft fingers
Marshal Zhao understood, and everyone present understood.
Princess Qianxue actually publicly rejected His Royal Highness Li Wang, isn't this... too courageous
Marshal Zhao looked at her and frowned, recalling the long conversation between his grandfather and grandson at night. "Qianxue, you really..."
"Really." Before Marshal Zhao had finished speaking, Gu Qianxue interrupted coldly, "I'm different from other women, don't expect arranged marriages here or the words of a matchmaker ordered by my parents, my life is only myself It's up to me to choose my future husband."
She looked at King Li, saw the familiar handsome face, lowered her eyes, "It's impossible for me and him."
That's all for now.
Marshal Zhao sighed deeply, then nodded, "Okay." Then he bent his knees and wanted to kneel down.
The shackles are heavy, not to mention the ankle chains. It doesn't mean that you can kneel on your knees. The guards on the side stepped forward to help.
"Grandpa?" Qianxue wanted to step forward.
Marshal Zhao shook his head at Gu Qianxue, "Don't worry Qianxue, Grandpa has taken your words down, but as a subject, you should bow down when you see the prince of a country."
Gu Qianxue understands the etiquette of Nanyue Kingdom, and she doesn't want to point fingers.
"The sinful minister has met His Royal Highness Li Wang, and the prince is a thousand years old and kisses a thousand years old." Kneeling respectfully.
"The marshal is free," Li Wang's voice was not as cold as usual, "Since this king has taken over the Guandong City case, I will do my best to clear up the grievances for the marshal. Don't worry, the marshal."
Marshal Zhao was supported by the guards to stand up, and he smiled firmly, "I don't feel at ease if I entrust this matter to anyone. Only King Li, I am completely at ease."
Qianxue looked at Marshal Zhao in a little surprise.
Marshal Zhao noticed it and explained to Gu Qianxue, "Qianxue, you may not know that His Royal Highness Li Wang's reputation is as prestigious as his reputation. Although the prince's actions were cruel, the prince did not wrong anyone. tragedy."
In front of King Li, speak out.
King Li frowned slightly, but he didn't care.
Gu Qianxue lowered her eyes and deliberately didn't look at him, "Oh." That's it. A moment ago, she was surprised why Marshal Zhao didn't pretend to be crazy, but now she knows the answer—with King Li, there is no need to pretend to be crazy.
King Li looked at Marshal Zhao, but actually his attention was on Gu Qianxue beside him. "The Zhao family has been loyal and good for generations, and Marshal Zhao has made great military exploits for Nanyue. It stands to reason that the king should not treat the marshal harshly, but now the situation is special, and the king may have to neglect the marshal."
Marshal Zhao said with a smile, "I don't ask for preferential treatment, I just want the prince to be fair. If I am really suspected of treason, I implore the prince to convict me."
"Marshal, don't worry, the king will."
The two of them just came and went, there was no politeness at all, let alone hypocrisy.
This kind of tough-guy interaction is just like the personalities of the two.
Later, a room was specially cleaned up in the government office and used as a temporary cell for Marshal Zhao. The surroundings of the house were heavily guarded, but Marshal Zhao refused to remove the shackles from his body. Marshal Zhao mainly asked that he wear shackles to show his sincerity before the grievances are washed away.
After Marshal Zhao settled down, Chu Yan returned to Gu Qianxue's side.
"Princess, it's almost dawn, you should also go to rest."
Qianxue looked up at the slightly bright sky and nodded, "It's another new day, but why didn't you look forward to it?"
"What?" Chu Yan didn't hear clearly.
Qian Xue shook her head with a smile, "It's nothing, let's go back."
A sleepless night.
In the morning, Gu Qianxue got up early.
Chu Yan, who was guarding the door, found out and was startled, "Princess, you woke up within two hours after lying down? Go to sleep for a while."
Qian Xue smiled, "Didn't you get up too?"
"I've been practicing martial arts all year round, I'm used to it." Chu Yan replied.
"Didn't I also practice martial arts now?" Qianxue replied, although she was flamboyant.
Chu Yan knew that Princess Qianxue was worried about Marshal Zhao, so she didn't pursue it. She called a maid to help the princess wash up, and then followed him to the kitchen.
Marshal Zhao's breakfast was personally arranged by Gu Qianxue, and even served it himself.
Seeing that it was Gu Qianxue who came, the guarding soldiers hesitated whether to allow him in, so they could only ask Jun for instructions.
Just as Jun An was about to stop him, Chu Yan gave him a hard look, and quickly subdued, "No problem, let them in."
Qianxue was amused in her heart, and found that men are interesting creatures, the more stubborn they are before enlightenment, the more fearful they are after enlightenment, maybe this is the softness of the hundred-smelting steel.
It's a pity, it seems that Chuyan hasn't enlightened yet, maybe it will take time.
Gu Qianxue didn't have time to care about Chuyan and Jun'an's affairs, all her thoughts were on her grandfather.
Entering the room, I saw that Marshal Zhao was wearing ankle chains, but he had removed the shackles and was punching vigorously. How could he look like a prisoner
"Grandpa, you seem to be in a good mood today." Qian Xue said with a smile, and put the food box on the table not far from the door together with Chu Yan.
Because it was breakfast for three people, one food box couldn't hold it at all, not to mention Marshal Zhao, who is a military commander, is always strong, and one person can eat two people's portions.
"The grievance is about to be cleared up, so I'm naturally in a good mood." During the speech, Marshal Zhao relented, washed his face in the washbasin at the side, wiped it clean, and walked over.
Gu Qianxue and Chuyan arranged the buns, porridge and side dishes.
"Grandpa is so sure that King Li can handle this case well?" Gu Qianxue asked curiously.
Marshal Zhao had a firm expression, "Yes, His Royal Highness Li Wang has this strength."
The corners of Gu Qianxue's mouth twitched. She also had a premonition that this incident was over, but it was not because of King Li's credit, but because the emperor at this time might have discovered that the best way for Zhao's army to return home was in the hands of Marshal Zhao.
"Grandpa is eating." Qianxue said.
"Okay." Originally Marshal Zhao was in a good mood, but now that he could sit at the table and eat with his granddaughter, his mood was even better.
While eating, Marshal Zhao stared straight at Gu Qianxue.
"Grandpa, what's the matter?" She reached out and touched her face, wondering if something went wrong
Marshal Zhao was embarrassed and sighed, "You look more and more like your grandma."
Qianxue understood, "Grandpa, after searching for so many years, have you never found any news about grandma?"
Marshal Zhao shook his head, his appetite suddenly decreased.
Gu Qianxue hurriedly said, "Grandpa, let's talk about something else, some mobs made trouble last night, you know that?"
Marshal Zhao was attracted by the new topic, so he forgot his sadness for now, and nodded, "I know." It was precisely because of these mobs that he was transferred to the government office, which was a blessing in disguise.
"I heard from King Li that the mob was instigated by the prince to revolt."
Marshal Zhao suddenly realized, "This can be explained. I couldn't figure it out yesterday. In just a few months, the temperament of the people in Guandong City has changed drastically! Grandpa has been in Guandong City for decades, and he knows the people in the city very well. He is so simple, but he is not a person who makes trouble." Then he realized the problem, "How did King Li deal with it?"
