Chapter 133 Moving
Chapter 133 Moving
The princess spoke, successfully drawing everyone's attention to herself.
She calmly reported to the Empress, "When I was in the camp earlier, I heard with my own ears that several people who looked like the Third and Fourth Imperial Sisters were planning to attack General Gu."
The Queen's gaze was like a knife as she cast upon the two men.
The princess has been in the palace for so long that she knows everyone very well.
"Also, I heard they wanted to attack me and then put the blame on the Gu family."
"Don't talk nonsense!"
The third princess was so anxious that she almost jumped up.
"Whether it's nonsense or not, the Third Princess knows it clearly in her heart." The princess sneered.
Everyone turned a blind eye to the struggles within the royal family.
Now seeing them openly confronting each other, everyone is ready to watch the show.
The princess was determined to deal with them. If she didn't deal with these two people in time, she was afraid they would bite her back.
"Fourth Imperial Sister, I know you're unhappy with the Queen Mother appointing me as the Crown Princess, but you did lose the test that year."
The Fourth Princess's face turned ashen. She certainly remembered the assessment about choosing the Crown Princess.
I clearly wanted to attack her, but I didn't expect to help her by accident.
The court was buzzing with discussion, and the empress didn't want so many people to know about the royal scandal. She waved her hand and said, "Let's stop here for today."
As the court officials left one after another, Gu Qingyuan said with a gloating look on her face, "Mother, look, the Third and Fourth Princesses are going to be pissed off!"
The two of them couldn't even defeat a princess, yet they still wanted the Gu family to support them.
It's simply wishful thinking.
After Gu Qingyuan and General Gu went out, they did not leave the palace immediately.
Gu Qingyuan said to General Gu: "Mom, I still have some things to do, you should go back first."
"Okay, then come back soon."
Gu Qingyuan found the location of the prison based on her memory and gave the guards some silver. They let her in and said, "It will take at most an incense stick of time. Please hurry up, Young Master Gu."
She nodded, lifted her legs and stepped inside.
The people in the prison looked completely different from before. After hearing the footsteps, they looked at the person coming vigilantly.
When he saw it was Gu Qingyuan, he instantly calmed down like a bad-tempered dog.
"It's you."
Chu Zhiyan didn't expect that he would see her again.
Gu Qingyuan did not go in, but stood outside the cell and talked to him.
"Have you ever looked in the mirror to see what you look like now?"
Chu Zhiyan pulled the corner of his mouth lightly, but accidentally pulled the wound on his face. There was no healthy place on his body, and everywhere visible to the naked eye was covered in blood.
"No."
"Oh, I forgot to tell you. Our Majesty intends to execute you in a month."
His ears moved and his eyes looked longingly.
"If I die and can go to the world you lived in before, then death won't be so scary."
"Actually, I should have hated you, but I can't seem to hate you anymore."
Gu Qingyuan's voice was filled with confusion.
This was also the purpose of her coming to Chu Zhiyan. She had something to say to him.
It was a rare moment when the two of them were not at loggerheads, and Chu Zhiyan smiled.
"Do you feel guilty?"
"Maybe so."
Since he took her away, he has never really hurt her. Gu Qingyuan clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment, and when she sees this dying man, she still feels pity in her heart.
"Don't feel guilty," his voice seemed to be blown away by the wind, "I don't belong to this world anyway. It's better to die."
Just like two hundred years ago, his death allowed the refugees to have a full meal.
Now that he is dead, I think many people will be happy.
"you……"
Gu Qingyuan didn't expect him to say that and sighed.
"Thank you for detoxifying me, though. My father was originally from your Southern Xinjiang. Just like you, he took a lot of medicine to have me. Perhaps the poison in my body is from that time."
"your dad?"
"Well, his last name is Meng, and he used to be the imperial physician in your palace."
Chu Zhiyan slowly remembered.
"Can I touch your face?"
Gu Qingyuan hesitated for a moment, opened the cell door, and stood in front of him.
He stretched out his hand with great effort and gently stroked her face.
His movements were cautious, as if he was touching some fragile treasure. After making contact, his face showed the first relaxed smile since arriving here.
Then he withdrew his hand.
"You go."
Gu Qingyuan wondered if he asked her to come over just to touch his face?
However, the time of one stick of incense was almost up, so she locked the cell door again and walked out.
Just as she left the palace, the man in the prison bit his tongue and committed suicide.
The person who brought lunch to Chu Zhiyan came over, but found that his head was drooping and he looked like he had died.
The jailer walked in, reached out his hand to feel his breath, and exclaimed: "Dead, dead!"
……
Gu Qingyuan felt a little heavy-hearted when she returned home.
However, when he thought about the rewards he had received and the big house of his own, he soon became happy.
She felt that she was no longer young and it was time to move out.
After she told General Gu about this, she objected a little: "You live well at home, why do you want to move out?"
"Mom, I think it's time for me to start my own business..."
General Gu sighed and said, "Well, it's up to you."
Before Gu Qingyuan could even use the arguments she had prepared, her mother agreed. She immediately hugged General Gu's arm and cheered, "Long live my mother!"
"Just come back at least three days a month."
General Gu also put forward his own conditions.
Gu Qingyuan nodded quickly, "Of course, I will definitely come back to see mother often."
Afterwards, Gu Qingyuan took Chunfen and Xiazhi to see the house.
After hearing about it, Dongzhi also went along and said that he wanted to give a gift to Gu Qingyuan.
The four men came to the house given by the Queen and opened the door.
The smell of dust came, and Gu Qingyuan coughed twice. This house was very big, comparable to the general's mansion.
It took several people a whole day to finish cleaning, and then they called other servants from the Gu family to go shopping together.
Half a month later, Gu Qingyuan moved in smoothly, bringing Wen Shubai, Ji Mingzhao and others with him.
The general's mansion suddenly became much quieter.
Gu Qingyuan had a gold-plated plaque made with the words "Gu Mansion" written on it.
She climbed up the ladder herself and hung the plaque up.
Afterwards, he stood below, admiring his work and patted the non-existent dirt off his hands.
The people curiously looked over to see who had moved in, only to find that it was Gu Qingyuan and others.
"I heard that Young Master Gu has made great contributions."
"Is this still the Young Master Gu we know?"
The people were talking about this.
