[17]
After Wan Shun's 41 years, the two have not met each other, and Gu Hongjian has finally started a small business and opened a small shop to sell the four treasures of the study. This is purely because she is serious Amateur interests other than reading, I don't earn much, but it's better than nothing.
In fact, Gu Hongjian was not short of money.
Although her relationship with Lin Size is still very tense, she has never met or contacted, but she has been in on and off contact with Jiang Haifu. Every month, a little eunuch younger than Jiang Haifu will come to Gu Hongjian's house to deliver letters to get letters.
Jiang Haifu is literate, his writing is good, and his writing skills are not bad. Therefore, Gu Hongjian gets a headache every time he receives his eloquent letters - a month is still so long, where did he get so many things to write? !
In the letter, he usually reported everything about Lin Size's necessities, food, clothing, housing, and transportation. It was so small that Lin Size was a little uncomfortable, and he didn't sleep well at night. It was so big that any old minister in the court had a bad mind, and they all reported it to Gu Hong.
And Gu Hongjian would reply, but compared to Jiang Haifu's tirade, her answer was terrifyingly brief, usually just four words: What am I doing
However, Jiang Haifu has never been defeated by Gu Hongjian's indifference. He still has one or two letters a month, rain or shine.
When Lin Size ascended the throne, he pardoned the world as usual, and released the dying eldest prince and the third prince who had been imprisoned before, but he was demoted to the common man and could never enter the capital. And Yao Taishi was executed by the nine clans that night, but unfortunately, Yao Tianao, who Lin Size wanted to get rid of the most, was not caught, but fled early. Although the wanted order has already been issued, it still remains to this day. Whereabouts unknown.
The eldest prince and the third prince, who were demoted to common people, only took a little time to settle down, and then began to make some moves.
Jiang Haifu told Gu Hongjian about these things, but Gu Hongjian was not worried. After all, Jiang Haifu knew it, so Lin Size must know better.
Just when Jiang Haifu told Gu Hongjian that the eldest prince and the third prince were actually linked with a cult organization in the Jiangnan area, Gu Hongjian was a little concerned.
The cult in the south of the Yangtze River, Mingjiao, was founded by a group of uprising peasants during the previous drought. However, because the drought did not last long, the worship of the moon did not have time to grow, and the people were almost scattered. Wherever, it will soon be suppressed by the local, and gradually disappear.
Although I don't know how the eldest prince and the third prince got in touch with them, the third prince and the eldest prince contacted them, and their thoughts were evident.
So Gu Hongjian's reply this time rarely changed from "what's the matter with me" to "then what is he going to do with it".
Probably because he finally got a reply that was not related to me, Jiang Haifu asked the little eunuch to deliver the letter the next day.
The content boils down to this: I dare not speculate on my own.
Gu Hongjian: "..."
She didn't believe that Jiang Haifu's blatantly telling people outside the palace was without Lin Size's permission!
Gu Hong was so angry that she didn't reply.
A few days later, Gu Hongjian received another letter from Jiang Haifu, saying that the eldest prince and the third prince had disobeyed Lin Size's order, sneaked into the capital, and now lived in the Leyi Inn not far from Gu Hongjian. Inside.
Gu Hongjian squinted his eyes, burned the letter, and ordered the little eunuch to come tomorrow. That night, he changed into the black night clothes that he had not worn for a long time, took the long knife, and flew directly to the Leyi Inn.
She searched the whole thing, thinking that the eldest prince and the third prince were not asleep, so they secretly hid in a few rooms with faint candles, and finally heard the voice of the eldest prince.
"We've come this far, and we can't look back! Either he's dead, or we're dead." The eldest prince said softly.
Compared with the eldest prince, the third prince's voice is much weaker, and the one hundred big boards probably made him not recovering now: "But we are not right now..."
"As I said before, Qian Ling will help us!" the eldest prince said angrily, "You shouldn't be timid, okay?!"
"But Qian Ling is just a eunuch... He just hates Lin Size for having a good relationship with Taishi Yao after he ascended the throne, so he kicked him out of the palace... What can he do?" said the third prince.
The eldest prince whispered: "You haven't figured it out yet? It's really stupid. You will know it in a few days... Now I'm worried that Lin Size's people will find our traces. In short, I must contact Wu Hanlin tomorrow..."
The third prince said weakly, "I see. I'm tired. Go back to your room and rest."
Gu Hongjian put away the long blade, touched his chin thoughtfully, and left quietly.
After returning, Gu Hongjian wrote a letter, about Qian Ling and Wu Hanlin, and asked Jiang Haifu to tell Lin Size.
She wanted to tell Jiang Haifu not to tell Lin Size that she said it, but then she thought, who else would she be? Forget it.
After all, she was still used to doing everything for Lin Size.
However, in addition to habit, she also had to admit that she was selfish.
As she said, she knew that Lin Size would hate her one day, hate her very much, even more than the day Zuo Ningyan died...
So she wanted to stay away from Lin Size before that day really came, so that she would not be too sad because of Lin Size's hatred in the future. At the same time, she couldn't help but do more things for Lin Size, so that Lin Size could think of her well, at least... Don't hate her so much.
***
Gu Hongjian thought that according to Lin Size's character, she would definitely deal with the eldest prince and the third prince vigorously, but she waited for a month and saw nothing.
Although Gu Hongjian felt very doubtful in her heart, she did not intervene anymore, thinking that it was probably Lin Size who had Lin Size's plan.
But in the second month, Jiang Haifu's letter arrived, which clearly stated Jiang Haifu's concerns - he said that he had reported what Gu Hongjian said to Lin Size truthfully, but Lin Size did not respond after learning about it, and even No one was sent to monitor the eldest prince and the third prince! Wu Hanlin worked well in the DPRK as always.
Not even monitoring
Gu Hongjian is really puzzled, what the hell is Lin Size thinking
But Gu Hong saw Naxin read it for a long time before suddenly reacting.
Lin Size was not doing nothing, but was waiting for her.
He was watching, Gu Hongjian would secretly stare at the eldest prince and the third prince once for him, then would he do it for him a second time, a third time, until they were completely resolved.
He is waiting.
And confident.
Gu Hongjian gave a wry smile, put the piece of paper aside, and lay on her back on the Taishi chair in a daze.
In June, the capital was cloudless, but she didn't know when she would be able to clear the dark cloud in her heart.
And what made her feel helpless the most was that she went to the eldest prince and the third prince that night, and stayed outside the house for a whole night, and found that the first prince and the third prince had already contacted most of the forces in the capital. In addition to Qian Ling and Wu Hanlin, there are also the nephew of the former deputy commander Liu Wei, the cousin of the first prince's wife, and so on.
Although the number of people is not small, the people who have the most power are actually nothing. Gu Hong sees yawning all night, and decides to let them go again.
She wanted to see how many people could be implicated.
In this way, for the next month, Gu Hongjian asked Mr. Teacher to take a break. He rested during the day and went out at night. After a full month, he wrote a long list of conspiracy and handed them over to Jiang Haifu.
Lin Size still didn't move, Gu Hongjian was used to it, and when the first prince and the third prince decided to start, she killed the first prince and the third prince first.
Because she was alone after all, she could only kill the third prince who was closer to the window first.
The eldest prince subconsciously wanted to scream, Gu Hongjian stretched out his hand to cover his mouth and wanted to wipe his neck, but saw the first prince's eyes were very shocked, but with a hint of other emotions, Gu Hongjian suddenly became interested, thinking He couldn't run away either, so he let go and said, "Don't call. I'll give you a chance to say some last words."
The first prince gritted his teeth and said, "It's you!!!"
Gu Hong smiled and said, "It's me. Isn't the eldest prince very clear, and he also knows that I killed the second prince."
The eldest prince trembled and said, "It's really you... It's really you?!"
Gu Hongjian still smiled and said, "Yes. Those news were actually released by Lin Size, deliberately to provoke you, and to give you a reason. But those news are also true, my martial arts is true, he likes Zuo. Ning Yan, so it's true that the Yao family and you will not be spared."
The eldest prince trembled and said: "He killed his brother, and he will be struck by thunder..."
"You're the only one who dares to say these words?" Gu Hong was amused, "When I was a child, I followed the second prince and the others to oppress Lin Size. I killed the second prince and suppressed the third and fourth princes. I just want to blame others, and I still want to force the palace... Oh, I still want to kill my own father. Are you qualified to speak of him?"
The eldest prince's face was as white as paper, and said, "Yes, I was wrong, I was wrong... Please, please don't kill me..."
After speaking, she wanted to yell, Gu Hong narrowed her eyes, and stretched out her hand to grab his throat, so that he couldn't speak: "I said, don't yell."
The first prince stared at Gu Hongjian with hatred, as if he wanted to tear her apart at any time.
Unfortunately, he doesn't have that ability, so he can only look at Gu Hongjian like this.
Gu Hongjian sighed and said, "I gave you a chance to say last words, but you ended up saying a lot of nonsense... Do you have anything else to say? I warn you, don't try to call anyone."
The First Prince nodded.
Gu Hongjian gave him another chance and let go.
The eldest prince said, "I beg you, I beg you not to kill me... What's the benefit of you doing things for Lin Size so zealously? You, didn't you say that he likes Zuo Ningyan. You like him, right? But He doesn't like you! Look at this... Can you help me? As long as you help me, I will treat you well. In the future, I will be the emperor and make you the queen! It must be better than Lin Size! My current wife is nothing I understand, in the future, let her be some kind of Zhaoyi, and it won't threaten your status!"
Gu Hong was in a trance for a while.
But just because of the sentence "You like him, right? But he doesn't like you!"
It turned out that this was a secret that everyone knew.
Even the eldest prince, who is basically unfamiliar with her, and very mentally handicapped, can see it.
Everyone knows her one-way, doomed love.
Really funny.
Seeing that Gu Hong didn't speak, the eldest prince thought that she was moved, and he said a bunch of nonsense, nothing more than saying that he would definitely treat her well in the future. Glancing at him, he said, "What you said is very tempting, but I'm sorry, I'm not interested."
The eldest prince was stunned for a moment and said, "Why, why..."
Gu Hongjian said, "Because you are too ugly."
The eldest prince was dumbfounded, and finally realized that it was impossible for him to have a relationship with Gu Hongjian, and immediately collapsed: "You bitch! I tell you, Lin Size will never like you! What if you kill me! What if you killed everyone who stood in his way! He won't like you, he'll never like..."
Before he could finish a sentence, he had no way to go on.
Because Gu Hongjian had already snapped his neck.
He kept his eyes wide open, which could be called dead rest.
Gu Hong looked at him expressionlessly when they met, and said softly, "I know. So what?"
so what
[18]
It also took a lot of effort for Gu Hongjian to deal with the comrades of the first prince and the third prince.
Yes, strength.
Gu Hongjian's method of dealing with problems has always been simple and rude, basically using violence. If he can hit the capital, he will hit the capital, but if he can't, he will have to kill someone who has an anti-Lin Size heart.
During that time, Gu Hongjian was actually very sad.
If it is said that killing the eldest prince and the third prince, she is more at ease, but killing other people she has never seen before is very uncomfortable.
Therefore, Gu Hongjian flew to other people's homes several times, but she just watched others for a while, and then returned to her own home in silence.
The few people who were killed were because Gu Hongjian happened to hear them insulting Lin Size and said that the eldest prince and the third prince were already dead, which means they were exposed.
In this way, Gu Hongjian had no choice but to act rudely.
Fortunately, after a few days like this, there was finally a movement on Lin Size's side, and with Lin Size's usual thunderous means, he directly eliminated all the people who were related to the first prince and the third prince, and gave them a solid one. Solid dismount.
Gu Hongjian finally breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to get a good night's sleep.
But the first day she slept at night, she had a nightmare. She dreamed that the four dead princes were covered in blood, just like they died separately. Everyone had a deep hatred in their eyes and approached her step by step.
In the dream, Gu Hongjian was not as powerful as in reality. He could only run away in fear, but as soon as he turned his head, he saw four terrifying blood-colored figures. I woke up startled, every time I was in a cold sweat.
She killed them, and she didn't feel guilty at first, but such a terrible nightmare made her realize that, just like the night she killed the second prince, she was trembling all over and was so afraid that it was not because of any guilty conscience and guilt, Simply just scared.
Although it was her hand, she was still afraid, afraid of the eyes of the second prince before he died, afraid of the bloody corpse of the second prince, and afraid of the person who would kill without blinking an eye.
She was always scared, but when she was scared, Lin Size didn't comfort her, so she thought—probably no one would come to comfort me, I shouldn't have been scared.
In this way, I forced myself to comprehend this matter, forced myself to suppress all emotions, but all of them erupted at this moment.
Gu Hongjian had been insomnia for a whole month, as long as he closed his eyes, all kinds of corpses appeared in the dark, each time more terrifying.
When Gu Hongjian opened his eyes, he could only laugh miserably.
Or later, the teacher thought that her spirit was too poor, so she gave her a few Buddhist scriptures, so that she could read it without any worries, which could help her to cultivate herself. Gu Hong saw that reading and copying was useful, but soon she stopped reading Now, the teacher asked her why, and she said that because she still has to do things that she shouldn't do in the future, looking at these now, they are also dirty.
The teacher said nothing more.
During that time, Gu Hongjian hated Lin Size a little bit.
She hated why he dragged her to do this, and why he couldn't feel sorry for her a little bit.
Although she is highly skilled in martial arts, she is not invulnerable, so why can't he think about it for her.
Gu Hongjian even heard rumors that it was because Lin Size was good-looking and had no wives and concubines, so many ministers came in and suggested that Lin Size should expand the harem next year, and by the way recommended how suitable his daughter is to be a concubine.
She just wanted to laugh when she heard it, thinking, those ministers are really stupid, how could they want to push their daughter into the fire pit
Those women, even if they can enter the palace as they wish, and even if they can stay by Lin Size's side, they will never get Lin Size's heart for the rest of their lives.
Just like her.
Gu Hongjian's condition is very bad, but there is no cure.
Occasionally, when she is alone, she sits in her room, opens the window, and stares at the plants in the yard in a daze.
Her west courtyard is designed according to the pattern of Baifu Hall, and the plants inside are also specially selected by her, which is very similar to the Baifu Hall of the past. Occasionally, when she looks out like this, she will even give birth to one or two points that she is still in white. The illusion of Fudian.
It was as if she shouted "Lin Size", and a clear and indifferent voice would answer "What to do?".
However, she shouted softly, and in exchange, there was only the sound of howling wind.
When Gu Hongjian looked at the withered flowers, she suddenly realized that even autumn was coming to an end.
In November of Wanshun's 41st year, the weather became extremely cold. Jiang Haifu went out of the palace to visit Gu Hongjian and asked her if she was missing anything, but found that she was thinner than the last time she saw her. I don't know how much, the originally small face has become smaller, the pointy chin can almost stab people to death, the cheeks are even a little sunken, the complexion is like a vegetable, and a little movement will make an abnormal blush appear. Her eyes were not as bright as before. When she looked at Jiang Haifu, Jiang Haifu could not even see any luster in her eyes.
Jiang Haifu was taken aback and hurriedly asked what was going on, but Gu Hongjian said lightly that he was still recovering from a minor illness.
Jiang Haifu naturally didn't believe it, but he had always been afraid of Gu Hongjian, so he had to persuade Gu Hongjian to take good care of himself and take care of himself.
Gu Hong smiled when he saw it, and said, "You still need to tell me? If I don't take care of myself, who will take care of me?"
Jiang Haifu thought for a while, and then said: "If the emperor sees you like this, it must be very uncomfortable."
Gu Hongjian was silent for a moment, then said, "No way."
But she didn't know if she meant that Lin Size would not see her like this, or that Lin Size would not feel distressed.
Jiang Haifu sighed, but he didn't dare to say anything, he just gave Gu Hongjian some money, saying it was given by the emperor, but Gu Hongjian didn't refuse, let him put the money down, and asked a few words about the palace When things happened, Jiang Haifu took the opportunity to say: "Why don't you go back to the palace? When the emperor was the prince and the prince, there were not many people around him, and even when he arrived at the Deze Hall, there were not many people who were satisfied. Now he is the emperor. , and the people who are less accompanied by your side, if you go back with Zhang Zhang, then the emperor will be very happy."
Gu Hongjian glanced at him with a half-smile, and said: "Isn't this still you, and you will sue and be afraid of the horse's wink, you can completely replace me."
She actually remembered Jiang Haifu's complaint about her gambling. Jiang Haifu was stunned for a while, and then he said, "How could I replace you? You can't be replaced by anyone. You are the only one in front of the emperor."
Gu Hong looked like he was about to laugh: "What is the only one, you really became the Grand Duke, and even your speech became strange."
Jiang Haifu scratched his head and wanted to explain, but Gu Hongjian shook his head again and said, "No one is irreplaceable. You can go back. I won't go back to the palace. I can live freely outside."
Jiang Haifu glanced at her body as thin as a skeleton, and sighed: "I really didn't see it... Hey, let's go, the little one will go first."
Although Jiang Haifu's current position is higher than that of Gu Hongjian back then, and Gu Hongjian is just a commoner, he still calls himself small to Gu Hongjian.
Gu Hong saw that she could not laugh or cry, so she drove him away, and then read the book by herself.
It was as if Jiang Haifu had never been here at all.
But she never thought that Lin Size would come in person.
It was already December, and the winter solstice would be the next day. The world was already snowing, and every household hung up lanterns and put up Spring Festival couplets, and everyone was beaming with joy.
Only Gu Hong saw the house, and it was simply desolate.
Originally, the two servants were kindly let go by Gu Hongjian and let them go back to their hometown, and the teacher didn't come, so Gu Hongjian was the only one in the huge house.
At this time, Lin Size came with Jiang Haifu with a pot of warm wine.
He came by the wind and snow, very low-key, but still conspicuous. Gu Hong saw Lin Size at the moment when he heard the knock on the door and opened the door, and immediately became dumbfounded.
She said, "Why are you here?"
She thought it was the whistling of the wind and snow, and opened the door without hope, but found that not only people were coming, but Lin Size.
how is this possible.
However, Lin Size, who she thought was an illusion, shook the wine in her hand and said, "Let me in, or the wine should be cold."
And Jiang Haifu behind him also smiled and said: "Gu Zhangshi."
Gu Hongjian nodded suddenly and let the two of them come in. In the whole house, only Gu Hongjian's room was lit with a brazier. Gu Hongjian had to let them wait in the hall first, then ran back and dragged the brazier over by himself. When going to add coal, Jiang Haifu stopped her, asked her where the firewood was, and ran to get the coal.
Gu Hong saw that she was running around, her face was slightly flushed, but her hands were still very cold. As soon as she sat down, she shivered slightly from the freezing of the wooden chair.
Lin Size looked at her calmly, then frowned slightly: "How did you make yourself like this?"
Gu Hongjian was at a loss: "Ah? What?"
"You've lost a lot of weight. Your complexion is also very bad." Lin Size said, "It's not the coldest yet, you're frozen like this."
Gu Hongjian was stunned for a while, and then said indifferently: "It's nothing, I just suffered from a minor illness and haven't recovered yet."
"Have you been ill for so long?" Lin Size said with a cold face, "The last time Jiang Haifu came to see you, you said you were ill, and you haven't recovered yet?"
Sure enough, it was Jiang Haifu's broken mouth again...
Gu Hong said uncomfortably, "Illness comes like a mountain falling, and it goes away like a thread."
Lin Size said, "If you want to leave the palace, I will let you leave the palace, and if you want money, I will give you money, but you make yourself like this, are you trying to force me to take you back?"
Gu Hongjian was silent, and after a while, he said, "It's really touching, it's as if you can give me whatever I want."
"Then you said I couldn't give you what you wanted?" Lin Size poured the wine and said casually.
Gu Hongjian just wanted to throw wine on his face.
It's so dressy.
Could he really not know what she wants
He just pretended to be stupid and wanted to perfunctory.
Gu Hong saw that she was silent, her face was dark and her head was drinking. Seeing that Lin Size didn't move after taking a sip, she felt even more upset and said, "You only brought such a small pot? How can you drink enough?"
Lin Size said, "Don't be greedy, this drink has a lot of stamina."
"How many feet can you have..." Gu Hongjian curled his lips in disdain, just as Jiang Haifu came with coal, Gu Hongjian instructed him to go to the cellar and get two more jars of wine.
Lin Size frowned, but didn't say anything.
Gu Hongjian filled her and Lin Size's wine glasses, she held the wine glass and touched Lin Size's wine glass, and said, "It's rare to see each other, if you don't get drunk, you won't go home."
Lin Size could only raise his glass and drank it all.
However, the next moment, he lost consciousness.
The snow was flying outside the house, and the landing was silent. Jiang Haifu was about to enter the house with firewood, but he heard Gu Hongjian in the house calling him not to go in. The voice was a little shy, and Jiang Haifu immediately understood something.
He was stunned for a moment, then blushed, then turned around and found an empty room to rest in it.
He lit a pot of fire, rubbed his hands together, and thought happily, Gu Zhangshi and the emperor really still have feelings for each other, it seems that the two are reconciled? Great, great.
Jiang Haifu happily sat on the chair and fell asleep.
When he woke up, it was already dark, Jiang Haifu stood up in a panic, and ran out, only to see Lin Size and Gu Hong see that the door of their room was still tightly closed.
Jiang Haifu breathed a sigh of relief, but he heard Lin Size roar, "See you Gu Hong!"
Jiang Haifu was startled.
After a while, he heard Lin Size say, "Jiang Haifu!"
Jiang Haifu hurriedly responded, and Lin Size let him in in a very bad tone. Once in, he was dumbfounded.
Lin Size sat alone on the soft couch, his clothes tied loosely, but Gu Hongjian disappeared.
There was a note on the table next to it, with four words on it - goodbye.
Lin Size's face was blue and black, Jiang Haifu hurriedly looked around in the yard, and of course no one was found.
And Gu Hongjian took almost nothing, just all the money.
With a dark face, Lin Size called out the dark guards in the courtyard, angrily scolding them for just watching Gu Hongjian leave without stopping him.
The dark guards innocently said that Miss Gu came out of the house with a blushing face, changed her clothes, and set off lightly, still thinking that she was going to buy a winter solstice gift for the emperor. Follow her to protect her, but get lost on the way.
The person who lost Gu Hongjian was reprimanded by the emperor at this moment, and only then did he know that everything was intentional by Gu Hongjian.
After all, no one could have expected that Gu Zhangshi would just leave everything in the capital and disappear inexplicably.
really disappeared.
Until the fall of the next year in Pyeongchang, Gu Hongjian never appeared again, as if he disappeared into the snowy night out of thin air.
