Gu Wushuang's eyes flashed with confusion, but soon the color returned to them.
"But my brother-in-law seems to be different. I heard that Yuan Xueer has been chasing him for several years, but he has never even looked at her." She looked at Chu Yue with a smile, "Sister Heyue, I really envy you."
Chu Yue's eyebrows curved.
"Don't envy me. I believe you can find a husband who cares about you in the future."
Gu Wushuang shook his head, his eyes full of helplessness.
"I overheard my father and the emperor talking about my marriage. What's waiting for me is either a marriage or a chance to win over a minister. In the end, I can't help myself."
This is the sadness of being a royal child.
Chu Yue suddenly felt sympathy for Gu Wushuang.
Yuan Xueer can still pursue her own desires bravely. As the daughter of the royal family and the emperor's niece, Gu Wushuang's status is far higher than that of Yuan Xueer, but she can only live cautiously in the palace.
She held Gu Wushuang's hand.
"Does Wushuang already have someone you like?"
In fact, regarding Gu Wushuang's previous reaction, she had a suspicion in her heart that she should be somewhat different towards Lin Haonan.
Gu Wushuang did not hide Chu Yue's question.
"So what? There will be no results after all. It's better to give up the idea earlier."
Chu Yue pursed her lips and said no more.
As we approached the capital, the blood-stained areas outside the city had been washed away, but the strong smell of blood could still be smelled in the air.
Chu Yue frowned.
It seems that the battle last night was fierce.
The carriage galloped all the way, and near noon, it finally entered the city.
Chu Yue lifted the car curtain and looked out. The street was in a mess. Many doors and windows of the shops on both sides were damaged, and some places were burned by fire.
However, because Liao Meng had cleared them up in advance, the people were not harmed much.
There were many soldiers cleaning up the streets, and the shop owners on both sides were asking people to repair the doors and windows with a grimace on their faces.
After Chu Yue said goodbye to Gu Wushuang, she went straight to the Lu family.
Seeing that her family was safe, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and went back to the yard to wait for news about Lu Xinghe.
…
Lu Xinghe hurried back to the capital last night and secretly contacted Yang Shichao. Later, he and Liao Meng trapped Gu Jingning in the palace.
Later, Gu Xianyu led the armored army to arrive. Gu Jingning's 200,000 soldiers were leaderless because Gu Jingning was trapped in the palace. Under attack from both sides, they surrendered after a short time.
Although there were casualties, the whole process went smoothly.
At this moment, Gu Jingning was kneeling in the hall with a dejected face, bearing Gu Jinghe's anger.
After venting his anger, Gu Jinghe said in a deep voice, "Prince Jing rebelled, and he must be punished for his crimes. Remembering that Prince Jing has made great military exploits in northern Xinjiang in the past few years, he can be exempted from death penalty, but he cannot escape from living crime. Drag him down and give him a beating." Hundreds of big boards are placed under house arrest in Prince Jing’s Mansion, and Prince Jing’s supply is abolished, and he will not be able to get out of them for life.”
After all, they are their own children. Even if the emperor is ruthless, he still cannot bear to kill his own bloodline.
Gu Jingning knocked her head heavily on the ground, her tone full of reluctance.
"Thank you Lord for your grace!"
Yuan Boyang stood aside and did not dare to help.
Prince Jing's rebellion has become a fact, and it is useless to say more, but as long as he is still alive, it does not mean that there will be no opportunities in the future.
At this moment, a pale-faced Lu Xinghe suddenly stood out from the crowd. He held a stack of booklets in his hand and presented them in the direction of Gu Jinghe.
"Your Majesty, these are the piles of criminal evidence against His Royal Highness Prince Jing that the courtiers have collected over the years. I would like to ask Your Majesty to take a look at them."
Gu Jinghe looked at Lu Xinghe, with unclear emotions in his eyes.
He really wanted to save Gu Jingning's life. After all, he was his own son, and even a tiger would not eat its own children.
He forced the palace to rebel, but he could still be exempted from death penalty by virtue of his military exploits in Northern Xinjiang.
If there was any evidence of unforgivable crimes in these stories, he would be dead today.
Gu Jinghe pinched his eyebrows.
"Master Lu, you are injured, please go back and recuperate first."
Lu Xinghe did not leave, but knelt down towards Gu Jinghe.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Prince Jing, collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, framed loyal and loyal soldiers, killed meritorious soldiers on the battlefield, monopolized military glory, and committed every heinous crime. Please ask Your Majesty to seek justice for those soldiers who died and for the brave and loyal ministers in the court. !”
Every word, every word, speaks loudly.
After hearing this, the ministers present did not dare to express their anger.
Yuan Boyang clenched the ring on his thumb with a gloomy expression. If he could not guess the reason for the failure of King Jing's rebellion, then he would have stayed in the position of Prime Minister for so many years in vain.
I really didn’t expect it.
The disciple he had trained for three years turned out to be a wolf in sheep's clothing!
Gu Jingning turned her head and looked at Lu Xinghe, her eyes full of vicious hatred. He gritted his teeth and his tone was full of warning.
"Lu Xinghe, are you willing to do anything for a woman?"
Gu Jinghe looked at Lu Xinghe, his expression also gloomy and terrifying.
After a long while, he said, "Whether it is collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, killing meritorious soldiers to monopolize military glory, or framing Zhongliang, it is not a small crime."
He looked at Lu Xinghe.
"Lu Xinghe, don't think that just because I think highly of you, you can fabricate facts to frame Prince Jing. If there is no evidence, even if I think highly of your talent, I will punish you."
"Every word of what the minister said is true." Lu Xinghe, neither humble nor overbearing, once again presented the booklet in his hand, "It not only lists the crimes committed by Prince Jing, but also the whole story of the matter. The personal and material evidence is conclusive. Your Majesty. You can tell by looking at it.”
Seeing this, Gu Jinghe winked at Li Dezheng and asked him to bring the things up.
When Gu Jingning saw Gu Jinghe's relaxed look, she finally felt a little afraid in her heart.
Lu Xinghe!
He clenched his fists tightly, and he really couldn't figure out why Lu Xinghe would put him to death like this when the two of them had no grievances.
In the main seat, as Gu Jinghe turned the pages, the anger on his face could hardly be concealed.
He threw the memorial in Gu Jingning's direction and said angrily, "Prince Jing, what else do you have to say?"
He always thought that Gu Jingning had really grown up with his own abilities over the years.
But in the end, he grew up and used really vicious and dirty methods.
I wasted my trust.
Gu Jingning only glanced at the contents of the memorial, then her pupils shrank, and she kowtowed in front of Gu Jinghe and said, "Father, you must not believe Lu Xinghe's words. If there is no evidence, I will not admit it!"
At this moment, Qian Yu led many people in from outside the palace.
Among them were Yang Shichao and Uncle Lu, whom Lu Xinghe had been searching for for several days.
At this moment, Uncle Lu was still wearing a mask, and when he looked at Lu Xinghe, his heart tightened.
he got hurt?
Gu Jinghe looked at Qian Yu, with a soft look on his face.
"Qianyu, what are you doing here?"
Qian Yu did not speak immediately, but stepped forward to help Lu Xinghe up.
"Four years ago, several towns under the jurisdiction of Tongzhi County experienced a famine. My father ordered the two emperors to go to the disaster relief. My son was only ten years old at the time. He wanted to see what the people would be like under the famine, so he quietly followed him. The second emperor brother found out that he was worried that I might ruin his good deeds, so he ordered people to chase him all the way and seriously injure my son. If he and Princess Yue hadn't come to the rescue, my life would have been lost in Nanping Town."
"This is my personal experience. I wonder if I can be one of the witnesses?"
