Chapter 94

Gu Yunxian originally thought that when he heard this sentence, he would feel happy in his heart and feel relieved.But when things came to an end, she realized that was not the case.

In the winter that will never be forgotten in her memory, she was wearing thin clothes and sitting in the Jingsheng Pavilion like an ice cellar.Gong'e had no expression on her face, and offered her a sandalwood tray.

On it was a three-foot white silk, a glass of poisoned wine, and a dagger gleaming with a cold light.

These three things just came into her eyes and became her eternal demons ever since.

Yu Shuyi was a little surprised when she heard that the emperor gave the order so simply, "Your Majesty just decided like that? Don't you give Jing a chance to defend himself?"

From her standpoint, she naturally hoped that Jing Fushu would die soon, but now that she was in charge of the Six Palaces, she had to be careful in everything, so such an inquiry was essential.

The emperor's expression was indifferent, "She has confessed to Mrs. Bo's crimes, so there is no need to talk about it. As for the matter of Yuma, it was mentioned by her confidant maid, and the evidence is convincing. What else can she argue with?"

Yu Shuyi was dumbfounded.

"I don't want to say anything more to her. When I welcomed her into the palace, I never expected that she would be such a person." The emperor said, laughing at himself, "It's because I am blind that I fell into such a big trick." Now that the truth has come out, I don't want to entangle it any more, so let's settle it earlier."

Yu Shuyi thought for a while, and then said: "Mr. Jing died, what about the people around her? There are also the concubines who had been friends with her before, should they be held accountable?"

The emperor didn't answer immediately when he heard the words, but turned to look at Gu Yunxian, "What do you think, Yun Niang?"

Gu Yunxian thought for a while, and said cautiously: "The concubine feels that since His Majesty does not want to publicize the matter of the imperial horse, it is better not to involve it too widely. Otherwise, there will be endless discussions inside and outside the palace." After a pause, "Besides, it's already November, and it's almost the end of the year, so it's really not appropriate to take more lives."

The emperor nodded, "You are right. That's it, the two of you can discuss the rest of the matter, so you don't need to ask me any more."

"promise."

After saying this, the emperor stopped talking.Yu Shuyi stood aside, keenly aware that he had missed to deal with a person.

Ning Wang Ji Pei.

Previously, he was sent to Zhaoling to guard the mausoleum by the emperor on the charge of "conspiracy in mind". Now that the truth is revealed, the imperial horse was not his hands and feet, so should he be called back?

Seeing Yu Shuyi's frown, Gu Yunxian understood that she also thought of the same question as himself.Unlike herself, she must have thought that the emperor would call King Ning back.

Thinking of this, Gu Yunxian couldn't help shaking his head in his heart.

The reason Yu Shuyi speculates like this is because she doesn't know about the relationship between King Ning and Jing Fushu.Although King Ning has now been cleared of the crime of treason, he has been charged with another crime.

Coveting the imperial concubine, helping the imperial concubine to invite favors, and deceiving the emperor after the incident to take the blame for her.

Compared with the last one, this crime is only slightly better.

"As for King Ning," the emperor finally opened his mouth, and said slowly, "In any case, this matter is related to him. Let him suffer more in Zhaoling, and the rest will be discussed in two years."

He said it would be two years later, but Gu Yunxian knew that this was just a perfunctory remark.Since he will not announce the relationship between Jing Fushu and Yuma, King Ning will always be charged with this crime.

Anyway, he wasn't wronged.

Jing Fushu sat alone in Cheng'an Hall, staring at the gilt tripod not far away, dazed.Because no one added incense into it, there was only a handful of cold ash in the cauldron, and nothing could come out.

Just like her heart at the moment.

Three hours ago, she was escorted back to the Palace of Cheng'an, and back to her palace made of gold and jade.Immediately afterwards, all her palace servants were taken away, and the palace gate was locked from the outside.

She was left alone.

The Cheng'an Hall was so quiet that the sound of the wind blowing the gauze curtain could be heard. She closed her eyes and recalled what happened in the morning.

Everything told her that this time, she was completely screwed.

Not only did the emperor know about Bo Jinrou, but even her disguise was seen through by the emperor.

Her husband, whom she has been devoutly caring for for many years, now regards her as a scourge.

He will never forgive her again.

Thinking of this, her heart, which was already insensitive, felt a dull pain again, making her eyes sour.

With a wry smile, she reached out and covered her cheek.

She knew that Gu Yunxian was continuing to dig out her sins, and she also understood what the ending was waiting for her.

Unexpectedly, she didn't feel much fear in her heart.

Maybe it was because I had already prepared for this day.

From the day she decided to enter the palace, she clearly understood what would happen to her if she failed.

It was she who chose the most dangerous path, so it was her own fault and no one else's fault for this ending.

What's more, she has had a really hard time in the past six months.

The emperor's neglect, the concubine's exclusion, and the warmth and coldness of the world made her taste it all.Now that such days are finally coming to an end, it may be a good thing for her.

How did Gu Yunxian find Yuliu?It should be to win over Ye Ling.

That woman is really not simple. She has been hiding these things from her, but she still knows about them.

They teamed up to set this trap, lured her into the game, and finally put her to death.

Really good plan.

Forget it, winners and losers.If she loses, she loses.Let Ye Ling please her new backer.She just waited, even under Jiuquan, she would watch carefully to see what would happen to the two of them in the future.

The sound of the palace door opening came from a distance, but she didn't move.

The footsteps came from far to near, and finally stopped a foot away from her.

"Empress Guiji, I have come to bring you something." It was Lu Chuan's voice.

She turned her head slowly and saw the little eunuch following him and the tray in his hand.

Bai Ling, poisoned wine, and a dagger.

Her pupils narrowed sharply.

"What... does this mean?" She exhausted all her strength to ask this sentence.

Lu Chuan said neither humble nor overbearing: "It's what you see, my lady. The time is running out, you should choose one, hurry up and get on the road."

She was shaking uncontrollably.

She knew he would kill her, but she didn't expect it to be so fast.Only one afternoon later, he sent her these three things so resolutely!

She thought, at least until then, that he would come to see her.

"What crime did they accuse me of?" she asked slowly.

"Don't you know what the charge is?"

"answer me."

Lu Chuan was silent for a moment, "Instigated Bo Baolin to murder the emperor's descendants and deceive the emperor."

"Just like that?" She raised her voice.

Lu Chuan didn't answer.

"I don't believe it. Tell me, what else happened?" She said, "If you don't tell me, I will die willingly!"

Lu Chuan looked at her, "My lady, why are you doing this? In any case, His Majesty has made up his mind and cannot change it."

She laughed mockingly, "I see that Mr. Lu is also kind-hearted, so you definitely don't want to force me to go on the road yourself? You tell me, and I will be obedient. In this way, you can also finish this errand easily without feeling uncomfortable .”

Lu Chuan sighed and winked behind him, and the little eunuchs immediately retreated ten steps away.He lowered his voice, "Your Majesty knows about the matter between you and King Ning, so...."

Jing Fushu's face turned white instantly.

Gu Yunxian knew from the beginning that she would not be able to sleep tonight, so after returning to Hanzhang Palace, she asked Ah Ci to find her piano score, hoping to distract her attention.

Unexpectedly, the emperor came over before finishing a piece of music.

She helped him take off his cloak, and said: "Why don't you say anything before your majesty comes, so that my concubine can make some preparations."

He smiled faintly, "I didn't intend to come here, but I was a little annoyed, so I came to talk to you."

Gu Yunxian said: "Is it because of Mrs. Jing? At this moment, Mr. Lu should also pass by..."

The emperor was silent for a moment, "It's almost there."

At this hour, Jing Fushu should have already...

The two of them didn't know what to say, but footsteps came from outside again.

Gu Yunxian looked over suspiciously, but saw a little eunuch kneeling in front of them panting, "See Your Majesty, see Your Majesty! I... I have something to report!"

The emperor frowned, "Didn't you follow Lu Chuan to Cheng'an Hall? Why did you come here?"

"I heard that His Majesty came here to serve as your empress, so I ran all the way here..."

"What exactly happened?"

The little eunuch hesitated for a moment, "Empress Zhengui Ji hopes that Your Majesty can go there..."

Gu Yunxian was taken aback when he heard the words.

Does Jing Fushu want to see the emperor for the last time?
"Ridiculous." The emperor said coldly, "I said I don't want to see her, who asked you to pass the word? How does Lu Chuan do things!"

The little eunuch was so frightened that his whole body trembled, his forehead pressed against the lichen, and he couldn't speak a word.

Frightened, he could only complain in his heart, it was really hateful for Zhen Guiji to turn back on her promises.She had agreed to everything, as long as Mr. Lu told him what His Majesty meant, she would die willingly.As a result, after Master Lu finished speaking, she acted like crazy, forcing them to come to His Majesty, otherwise she would not let her go on the road.Master Lu had no choice but to send him over.

The emperor looked at the little eunuch who was shaking like chaff, and felt bored for a while.His eyes fell inadvertently, and fell on his right hand clenched into a fist.

"What are you holding in your hand?"

The little eunuch raised his hand tremblingly, and said, "It's...it's something that Empress Guiji gave to Your Majesty..."

"Bring it up."

He Jin took the things from the young eunuch, then turned around and handed them to the emperor respectfully.

The emperor took a look, only to realize that it was a thin silver chain with a suet white jade pendant in the middle.

A picture from a long time ago suddenly flashed in my mind.Under the luxuriant sycamore tree, Jing Fushu, who was still his younger brother and sister, looked at him with a smile on his face, and said, "Let's make a bet, shall we? There are three cups here, and I'll put this jade pendant in one of them." Inside, exchange their positions in front of you. Then you guess which one the jade pendant is in. I bet you won’t be able to guess.”
