Cangqiong Jade: "..."
Gu Xijiu seemed to remember something again: "Is Lehuahou's case closed?"
Rong Jialuo nodded: "It's settled. Although the evidence is very unfavorable to them, after all, there is no most direct evidence to prove that they did kill Lehua Hou. The twelfth brother and Gu Tianqing have been gritting their teeth in prison. There was no confession, so the Third Division interrogated again and again, and they could only confirm that they really wanted to harm you. In addition, General Gu frequently cried and begged his father, begging him for his past military achievements and the fact that you were a disciple of the Holy Lord. Let your sister go... So my father thought about it again and again and decided to let them go. But it is not acquittal, but exile. Both of them will be demoted to commoners and sent to the wilderness of the frontier for three years. After three years, if there is no fault, they will be released. He is allowed to return to the capital. But the twelfth brother can no longer be crowned king in this life. Gu Tianqing will always be a commoner and will not be allowed to marry a son of an official. My father already has this intention, and it is estimated that it will be officially announced in the next few days."
Gu Xijiu said nothing, only lowered her eyes and took a sip of water.
In fact, she also understood that Emperor Xuan didn't really look at Gu Xietian's face and let those two people go lightly, but Emperor Xuan himself wanted to let them go. After all, Rong Yan was the prince and his biological son... Emperor Xuan said this It’s just a matter of going with the flow and finding your own way down.
This result was actually within Gu Xijiu's expectation, but now that it was confirmed with her own ears, she still felt a little uncomfortable.
"Xiao Cang, am I avenging the original owner? Didn't I retaliate swiftly?" Gu Xijiu secretly asked Cang Qiongyu.
Cangqiong Jade was also a little depressed: "It should be! But it doesn't matter. Your original soul is a very kind little girl. Even if she is unhappy, she will not blame you anymore or do anything bad to you. of."
Gu Xijiu took another sip of water and said calmly: "The kinder she is, the more I want to avenge her. To be honest, the longer I take over this body, the more I empathize with the original owner's experience..."
It seemed vaguely that the original owner of this body was once herself.
Could it be that the original owner, Gu Xijiu, was her previous life
Not like that! The character is so unlikeable! Probably not.
Gu Xijiu shook her head and put away this unreliable idea.
…
It's March in spring.
The spring breeze has dyed the treetops green, and the bend of living water in the imperial garden has thawed, running on the bluestone, and below the bluestone is a five-meter-high drop, allowing the water to form a waterfall here. It was so big that it poured out like countless thin lines, falling on a white stone below. It actually made a light sound like a guqin, and then flowed into the distance...
Not far from the waterfall, a waterside pavilion-like palace was built.
This is the most famous place in the Imperial Garden - Tingqin Liucui Hall.
The practice banquet set by Emperor Xuan for Gu Xijiu is here.
This banquet was extremely grand. Almost all civil and military officials and their families were present.
There were men and women, all dressed up in costumes, a dense crowd, and palace maids shuttled between them from time to time, making the scene unusually lively.
This time the party was not one table per family as usual, but three people per table.
The officials were in one row, and the ladies were in another row. As for the young gentlemen and ladies brought there, they were arranged in separate groups. There were also three people at a table, and they sat together with familiar faces.
According to the concubine who arranged this banquet, it would be more lively if the young people sit together.
Because everyone basically arrived early, everyone had begun to get familiar with each other before the banquet started. The girls were chatting and laughing, which was very lively.
