Chapter 93

When he entered the inner hall, he saw Yang Jiuhou at the door from a distance, and when he saw her, he bowed and said, "Miss."

Gu Mingzhu stopped hesitantly and asked, "Brother, how are you feeling?"

Yang Jiu's expression remained the same for thousands of years, with a blank face, he said: "Young master is not in a good mood."

Gu Mingzhu had a downcast face, and took a deep breath. Before she was ready, the people behind her had already pushed her in.

Gu Mingzhu staggered into the room, and the people in the inner hall turned around when they heard the movement.

She hurriedly stood up and called dryly, "Brother."

Gu Xiurong sneered: "You still know that there is a brother like me?"

Gu Mingzhu curled her lips, stepped forward, and said, "Brother..."

"Stand there and don't move!" Gu Xiurong looked coldly, he knew Gu Mingzhu's temperament too well, he did something wrong since he was a child, and he would come up to act like a baby and fool him without saying a word, today he can't let it go easily.

Gu Mingzhu was still nervous before seeing anyone, but she was not afraid when she was in front of her. Regardless of Gu Xiurong's cold eyes, she went up to hold him back: "Brother, I know I was wrong, please forgive me this time..."

Gu Xiurong said coldly: "You cheated me to death, thank you for doing it, my parents' hearts are almost broken, you...you are really mad at me!"

Gu Mingzhu knew that there were many mistakes in what she said, so she could only pretend to be pitiful, with her big eyes twinkling.

Gu Xiurong walked along the way, most of his anger had already dissipated, and he wanted to punish her, but also heard that she had just recovered from an illness, so he couldn't bear to be harsh, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and simply stretched out his hand and squeezed her face hard.

He purposely wanted to teach him a lesson, and when he tried hard, Gu Mingzhu's cheeks were pinched with red marks.

Gu Mingzhu felt aggrieved in a low voice: "Brother..."

Gu Xiurong immediately withdrew his hands, looked at Xu Jue behind her, and said, "A Jue, you and my brother, this is your fault, you still helped her cover me! You made it impossible to know who is right for a while. Her own brother."

Xu Jue smiled lightly, and rarely raised his hand: "I will apologize to you for this matter."

Gu Xiurong hammered him down, and said: "Come on, what kind of friendship do we have! If you make an apology, you may find fault with me later. But you need to talk to me about the prince's matter in detail. When the news of the prince's death comes , I was stumped by Mingzhu, and then I heard that you left the city, why are you in Dangzhou now?"

Gu Xiurong looked around and said suspiciously: "When I came here, Mingyi told me that the pearl has been reversed, and I regard it as a child who is immature and playing around, but you are also in Dangzhou, so this matter is not right. It's the same."

Xu Jue said: "It's a long story."

The two sat down, Gu Xiurong said: "It's a long story, then tell me one by one, what is the matter with the prince?"

Xu Jue said: "To tell you the truth, it has been almost a year since my father passed away. At that time, I was fighting with Da Zhou anxiously. The news of my father's death came suddenly. I was afraid that the army's morale would be scattered, so I suppressed it by force. Later, I was seriously injured for a while. Time, during the recuperation period, discuss with my mother to hide the news of this death, let my confidant pretend to be my father, so that I can do things more conveniently."

Although Gu Xiurong was shocked, but when he thought about it carefully, he could understand his difficulties. He nodded, thinking of the rumors of his death, and said: "Since the fake prince is pretending to be a confidant, why is he dying of illness?"

Xu Jue's face was slightly cold, and he said: "Li Sui planted spies in the mansion, poisoned him, and wanted to trick me out of Jiangling when he forced the palace, killing two birds with one stone."

Gu Xiurong was silent, and after a while he let out a long sigh: "I'm dying..."

What is sick is the human heart and the rotten imperial court.

He said regretfully: "The imperial court can't tolerate the Xu family, nor can it tolerate loyal ministers. Who can save this dirty court, the virtuous ministers in the world? Now the world is in chaos, peace is broken, and only the people will suffer in the end."

Xu Jue pondered slightly, and said, "Xiu Rong, I don't care what the world thinks of me anymore."

Gu Xiurong sighed, and said: "Then what are your plans next? Follow this Gu Jue who has become famous recently? This person has been dormant in the southeast for a long time, and he is very scheming. Now that the battle in the southeast has been decided, the six cities are in his hands. Go south."

Gu Mingzhu opened her mouth when she heard the words, not knowing what to say for a while.

Xu Jue leaned back, suddenly looked strange, and said, "Indeed."

Gu Xiurong said: "When I was in the army, I didn't feel that people's hearts were sinister. I didn't realize that I was naive until I arrived in Jiangling. Fortunately, Mingzhu is safe. I came here to pick her up and stay away from these rumors."

Xu Jue smiled, glanced at the silent person, then shook his head and said, "Xiu Rong, I'm afraid it won't work."

Gu Xiurong said: "No? Why?"

Xu Jue was silent at the right time.

Gu Xiurong pondered for a moment, and said, "Could it be that my sister has something in his hands?"

He glanced at Gu Mingzhu suspiciously, seeing that she also lowered her eyes and said nothing, "Why don't you speak?"

Gu Xiurong noticed something was wrong, stood up suddenly, and his face became serious: "A Jue, is there anything we can't say between you and me?"

Xu Jue smiled and was about to speak, when suddenly a soldier's voice came from outside the door: "You are talented!"

Gu Mingzhu, who was silent at the side, said, "Say."

The soldier half-kneeled outside the door: "Report to King Ming, Zhu Hongyuan is in prison and begs to see him!"

Zhu Hongyuan wants to see her?

Gu Mingzhu was slightly surprised, stood up, and said, "Take me..."

Halfway through the conversation, he remembered that Gu Xiurong was here, so he changed his words: "Forget it, I'll go there myself."

She was about to leave when Xu Jue said, "Wait."

Gu Mingzhu paused, turned her head to meet Xu Jue's faintly smiling eyes: "You go later, he wants to see you now, there are two things, one is loyalty, and the other is to seek death, no matter which one, you first put Let’s talk about the current matter first.”

Gu Xiurong felt that he was hallucinating. He looked at Gu Mingzhu and said, "Zhu Hongyuan wants to see Gu Jue, why are you going to join in the fun? You look so familiar, you seem to be tall, did you know him long ago?"

Gu Mingzhu knew she couldn't escape, and said, "I know."

Ever since Xu Jue called her to stop, the smile on the corner of her mouth has not faded.

Gu Xiurong frowned coldly: "Are you being bewitched by him?"

Gu Mingzhu said: "No."

Gu Xiurong's face turned slightly cold: "You are getting bolder, so I will come to Dangzhou myself, so I can't bring you back?"

Gu Mingzhu took a deep breath, the words stuck in her mouth, before answering, Gu Xiurong said again: "Even if you don't want to, I have to take you home today! Parents don't know that you are alive yet, and they are still sad , what else do you want to mess with? Is it something you, a girl, should get involved in? "

Xu Jue had seen enough of her being scolded, and finally said: "Xiu Rong, your sister should be scolded, but she can't leave."

Gu Xiurong looked puzzled, and said, "Why can't you leave?"

Xu Jue said: "Because she is Gu Jue."

Gu Xiurong squinted his eyes, feeling that he had heard wrong: "What?"

"You heard me right." Xu Jue said: "She is the leader of the southeast rebellion, that is, King Ming Gu Jue who has been rumored in the southeast recently. If she leaves, the six cities in the southeast will not be paralyzed. The Fang people will definitely not let her go, and the southeast defense line that is about to be put on the agenda also needs her nod."

Gu Xiurong heard it clearly, his face turned pale and then turned red, he wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say, his expression changed for a while, then he turned his eyes and said, "You rebelled?"

Gu Mingzhu nodded.

"You are the head?"

Gu Mingzhu nodded again.

"You are King Ming?"

Gu Mingzhu nodded heavily.

Gu Xiurong gritted his teeth: "Gu Mingzhu!"
