MTL - Long Wind Crossing-Chapter 105
When the **** came, the Gu family was eating. Hearing this, Jiang Rou stood up abruptly and said anxiously, "But something happened to my son?"
The **** waved his hand: "Don't worry, Master Gu is fine. There are just some things that Mrs. Gu Shao needs to go to the palace to deal with."
These words made Jiang Rou feel relieved, and Liu Yuru also calmed down. She wiped the corners of her mouth, stood up, and said to the eunuch: "Father-in-law wait a moment, concubine go to change clothes."
After speaking, Liu Yuru ordered someone to take care of the eunuch, and then turned into the room.
She changed into a formal suit in the room, and followed the **** into the palace. The **** looked anxious, as if everyone in the palace was waiting for them, Liu Yuru couldn't help but say: "Father-in-law, if it weren't for something wrong with my husband, why would the palace be so anxious to summon my concubine?"
"Don't ask more about this," the **** showed a bit of pity, "you will know when you arrive."
Hearing this, Liu Yuru's heart sank.
We can be sure that Gu Jiusi is all right, but Gu Jiusi is all right, which is not a good thing. Why do you want her to enter the palace?
She couldn't figure it out, she could only stabilize her mind and enter the palace all the way.
The **** led her into the harem, and the more she walked, the more at a loss Liu Yuru felt. She didn't quite understand why the place to meet her became a harem. She frowned and couldn't help but say, "Father-in-law, did you go wrong?"
"That's right," the **** said immediately, "The Queen Mother and Her Majesty summoned you together, so they were meeting at Yeyang Palace."
The queen mother and the emperor summoned together.
Liu Yuru has a name in her heart. She frowned, but said nothing.
After walking for a long time, she finally arrived at the gate of Yeyang Palace. She entered the room according to the etiquette. She was still outside, so she knelt down across the curtain, stretched her sleeves, and put her palms on the ground to draw The half circles overlapped in front and respectfully said: "The people have seen Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager. Long live your Majesty, long live, long live, and the Empress Dowager is a thousand years old, thousand years old, thousand thousand years old."
There was no sound inside the curtain. After a long time, an old voice came from inside: "This must be Mrs. Gu Shao?"
"Exactly." Fan Xuan's voice also sounded, with a smile in his voice: "Mrs. Gu Shao is a righteous woman, and she will not have any grudges when she gets along with the princess. "
Hearing this, Liu Yuru was stunned, and a bad premonition suddenly rose in her heart.
At this time, Fan Xuan continued: "Princess Yunshang, talk to Mrs. Gu Shao."
After finishing speaking, Liu Yuru heard that the bead curtain in front of her seemed to be lifted, and then a woman walked in front of Liu Yuru. Liu Yuru knelt on the ground without looking up, and then she heard Li Yunshang say: "Sister Yuru, in the future, I may have to enter the gate of Gu's house and serve Master Gu with my sister. I hope that my sister will take more care of me."
Liu Yuru's brain "hum", she knelt on the ground, did not make a sound, did not raise her head. She seemed to be frozen, and the whole person was stunned.
The voice of the queen mother next to her sounded: "Your Majesty said that he would give my son a marriage, my son had a marriage contract with Mr. Gu back then, and she had Mr. Gu in her heart, so Ben Gong thought that it is not as beautiful as an adult. Let them make a perfect marriage. Princess Jinzhiyuye, of course, can't be a concubine. Ben Gong originally wanted you to be a concubine, but His Majesty said that you and Gu Jiusi are married, and that you have contributed to the court. I promise to let you and my son be equal wives. My son is a few months younger than you, and although they are both wives in name, you must understand the distinction between honor and inferiority. "
Liu Yuru didn't speak, the queen mother waited for a while, then said: "Why, don't thank you, what's the dissatisfaction?"
Liu Yuru slowly calmed down when she heard this question. She couldn't tell what her emotions were. She didn't dare to think deeply, but she closed all her feelings. Like when she was young, she told herself that she couldn't be sad, sad, or hopeless. She needs to be calm and ask for everything.
She took a deep breath, raised her head, but looked at Fan Xuan and asked, "Your Majesty, dare to ask where my husband is now?"
Everyone seemed a little embarrassed when these words came out, Fan Xuan coughed lightly, and then said, "Gu Aiqing is still resting in the side hall. This is about his inner courtyard, you agreed. , just tell him and Master Gu and his wife."
Liu Yuru didn't say anything, she looked at Fan Xuan quietly, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, the marriage should be decided by the parties involved. The person who married the princess is my husband, how can I make decisions for him? Please ask your majesty to ask your concubine what your husband means, and then make a decision."
"Bold!" The Empress Dowager slammed on the table and said angrily, "The emperor bestowed the marriage, the princess married, but still allow him to pick and choose? Liu Yuru, don't be ashamed, too. Don't ask him if he will allow it, this palace will let him break up and you can marry again!"
"The Queen Mother," Fan Xuan frowned, and said with some dissatisfaction, "Yuru is a woman, and it is common sense to ask her husband, so don't be too excited, you should be considerate. ."
"Ben Gong was considerate of her, so she put her nose on her face. A vulgar woman from Yangzhou is worthy of a family like the Gu family? I don't know what water got into Gu Langhua's brain. Marrying such an unruly maid!"
Although Die Zaishen is not rich and noble, it is by no means the 'sick-girl' in the Queen Mother's mouth. The concubine married Lang Jun, never abandoned her in times of crisis, and has supported each other to this day. I supported the Gu family along the way when they were in distress. I never disliked the Gu family because of poverty and lowness. If the Gu family expelled me now because of wealth and honor, it would be disloyal to the love of husband and wife, and unjust to the principle of grace. The queen mother wants to marry the princess. To such an unfaithful and unrighteous prince?"
It's not impossible, is it?"
"Of course not," Whether it is the former dynasty or the Great Xia, character is the ultimate assessment of an official. Even the queen mother did not dare to refute Liu Yuru's words at this moment. She froze and said embarrassedly, "That's why this palace asks you to be your equal wife. It is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, so don't stop you because of jealousy."
"My concubine does not stop me," Liu Yuru said calmly, "It's just that my husband himself decides this matter, and my concubine does not dare to decide."
"The young lady said it too," Li Yunshang said at this time, turned her head and said to the queen mother, "Let the young lady go and ask Mrs. Gu, if Mrs. Gu is unwilling, don't ask. It's hard for the strong."
"Does he dare?" The Queen Mother sneered and turned to look at Fan Xuan, "This is a decree from His Majesty, he can't resist the decree and disrespect it, right?"
Fan Xuan froze, he coughed lightly, and said with Liu Yuru, "Go and persuade him to be the Minister of the Household, you should understand something."
Liu Yuru heard the words "Household Minister", her expression changed, she didn't say anything, stood up, and was led by the **** to the side hall.
Gu Jiusi was reading a book in the side hall. He sat cross-legged on the couch, leaning lazily against the window, with a plate of peanuts in front of him. He was knocking peanuts and looked very relaxed.
Liu Yuru walked in, he turned his head to look over, and couldn't help but be stunned. After a while, he hurriedly jumped off the bed and said in surprise, "Why are you here?"
Liu Yuru didn't say anything, she looked at him quietly, Gu Jiusi had a bad instinct, and hurried to her, took her hand and said, "What's wrong? But what happened? What's wrong?"
Liu Yuru watched him quietly.
He really didn't know what happened, and he was even asking if she had come to the palace to pick him up.
She looked at his high-spirited appearance, and suddenly understood what Li Yunshang meant.
Fan Xuan wants to marry Li Yunshang, and uses Li Yunshang and her relatives as threats to force the queen mother to agree to hand over Gu Jiusi's case. And the queen mother must have agreed, so they reached an agreement to make Gu Jiusi the minister of household, and Li Yunshang proposed to marry Gu Jiusi at this time as an additional condition for the transfer of the case. It's not a big deal, so Fan Xuan agreed. But Li Yunshang should have expected that Gu Jiusi would not agree. If Gu Jiusi refuses now, it will be a refusal of marriage. He has just gained Fan Xuan's trust. If he slaps Fan Xuan in the face like this, Fan Xuan will think that Gu Jiusi is not easy to control, and that Gu Jiusi is in the heart of the king. His career may end here.
Liu Yuru wanted to understand Li Yunshang's words, looked at Gu Jiusi in front of her, she felt something choked in her heart, she opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything.
Gu Jiusi knew that she was speechless. After a moment of silence, he raised his hand and took Liu Yuru into his arms.
"I know you must have been wronged," Gu Jiusi whispered, "But no matter what kind of wrong you are, don't think about it, you must believe me, I can solve everything, Don't worry, don't be scared, eh?"
With such a gentle voice, Liu Yuru couldn't help grasping Gu Jiusi's sleeve.
"Don't be so good..."
Liu Yuru's voice was hoarse.
I will not quit.
She thought to herself.
Gu Jiusi listened to her words, but hugged her even more tightly: "I want to be so kind to you. If you are so kind to you, you will be reluctant to part with me and will not leave me."
When these words came out, Liu Yuru burst into tears, Gu Jiusi panicked, and hurriedly said: "What's wrong? Don't cry."
Liu Yuru lowered her head, raised her hand to wipe her sleeve, she sobbed and whispered, "Gu Jiusi, why are you so bad?"
Gu Jiusi didn't know why Liu Yuru said this, she could only wipe her tears while coaxing her: "What's the matter, but who is angry to make you suffer?"
Liu Yuru lowered her head and wept, she whispered in a low voice: "Your Majesty intends to make you the Minister of the Household, let me tell you."
Gu Jiusi was stunned for a moment after hearing this. It was completely unexpected for him to directly let him be the Minister of the Household, but he quickly took over and said, "This is a happy event, why are you crying?"
"Gu Jiusi," Liu Yuru whispered in a low voice, "If someone likes me, wants to marry me, and wants you to marry me, what would you do?"
"I cut him!"
Gu Jiusi became anxious when he heard this, and said anxiously, "But who bullied you?!"
"Can't you cut it off?"
Gu Jiusi was stunned when he heard this, he seemed to sense something, held Liu Yuru's hand, he thought for a long time, and slowly said: "I don't know what you mean by asking this. But Yuru, if you like that person, that's fine. But if you don't like that person, unless I die," he raised his eyes, looked at Liu Yuru quietly, and said seriously, "otherwise I won't let anyone , forcing you to do so."
Liu Yuru looked at him, she listened to his words, her tearful eyes couldn't help bending, she stared at him, his expression was so serious, there was no falsehood.
"Then," she said with a bit of solemnity, "do you like me?"
"I like it." He answered without hesitation.
"Only like me?"
"Only like you."
"This life and this life," she took his hand and whispered, "If you are only with me, do you regret it?"
"No regrets," Gu Jiusi laughed, "I am very happy, very happy."
Liu Yuru's tears fell on his palm, making him stunned. Liu Yuru raised her head, smiled at him, wiped her tears and said, "I know, I'm going back, I'll pick you up later."
Speaking, Liu Yuru let go of his hand, turned and walked out. Gu Jiusi stood in the room, he frowned, thinking seriously about Liu Yuru's words.
"Your Majesty intends to make you the Minister of the Household..."
"If someone likes me and wants to marry me, what would you do?"
…
Gu Jiu thought for a moment, then suddenly reacted, and asked the **** next to him: "The queen mother is talking with her majesty, Princess Yunshang is engraved on it?"
"Yes." The **** said respectfully, "The princess has been here for two hours."
"Crap!"
Hearing this, Gu Jiusi slapped his head sharply, and then said to the eunuch: "Hurry up and report to Your Majesty, I want to see him!"
"Your Majesty said," the **** said seriously, "Unless you have been summoned, Master Gu should rest well."
"What rest for a rest!" Gu Jiusi suddenly became angry, "They kept my wife beside me and bullied me, why did they let me rest?! Go and report to Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty said, just wait for the summons, no need to report."
"Are you sure you won't go?"
Gu Jiusi clenched his fists, the **** sternly said, "Your Majesty said..."
"I'm going to **** you!"
Gu Jiusi smashed the **** with a punch and said angrily, "Get out of my way!"
Speaking, Gu Jiusi rushed towards the main hall of Weiyang Palace, the **** covered his face and shouted: "Come here, stop him!"
Gu Jiusi huddled together in the yard, Liu Yuru wiped her tears, took a deep breath, and returned to the main hall.
The queen mother and Fan Xuan were still chatting, when Liu Yuru came in, Fan Xuan took a sip of tea and said, "What did he say?"
"What can I say?" The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Master Gu is a sensible person, so he naturally agreed."
Liu Yuru did not speak, she bowed her head respectfully, and then said: "Your Majesty forgive me."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room fell silent. Fan Xuan turned to look at Liu Yuru with a calm expression: "He doesn't want to?"
"Lang Jun is willing."
Fan Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and said, "Then..."
"But the concubine is not willing!"
Liu Yuru raised her voice, this made everyone stunned, Fan Xuan took a long time to react, and said incredulously: "Gu Liushi, what did you say?"
"The concubine said," Liu Yuru replied forcefully, "let Gu Jiusi marry the princess, or marry any woman, whether it is a wife or a concubine, the concubine is not willing!"
"Absurd!" Fan Xuan was completely angry, stood up, and said angrily, "How can there be such a jealous woman?! Marrying a princess is good for him, how can you be ignorant So far!"
"The concubine knows it's good for him."
Liu Yuru's expression was calm: "The princess is golden branches and jade leaves, and the queen mother takes care of it. It is a blessing for Jiusi to become a concubine. This is the husband of the concubine, the person whom the concubine loves, and the concubine has him in his heart, so I hope that in his heart, by his side, forever and ever, there is only the concubine alone."
"You are presumptuous!" Fan Xuan was completely angry.
He can tolerate Gu Jiusi being stupid, that's because Gu Jiusi is affectionate and righteous, but he can't tolerate Liu Yuru being stupid. That's an ignorant woman.
"Liu Yuru ah Liu Yuru," Fan Xuan stood up, walked back and forth in the room, and said angrily, "I was thinking that you are a smart person, thinking that you should be Gu Jiusi in the future A big help for him, I didn't expect you to be so stupid? It's so stupid! As Gu Jiu's family, you should think about him and open up branches for him. You are so jealous, are you worthy of the Gu family? "
"Your Majesty, I have him in my heart. If there are other people around him, I am afraid that my concubine will be restless day and night."
"That's what happened!" Fan Xuan shouted, "Which woman didn't come here like this?"
Liu Yuru smiled bitterly, these words were very similar to what her mother said before.
"Your Majesty," Liu Yuru bowed and bowed, "Yuru's feelings cannot be tolerated. If Your Majesty insists on letting the princess marry, please grant Yuru a death."
These words shocked everyone, and Fan Xuan stammered: "You... what do you want to die for?"
"Your Majesty," Liu Yuru said calmly, "Yuru asks herself that she is not a good wife, she can't tolerate a second person by Jiusi's side, but she also doesn't want Your Majesty and Jiusi to be embarrassed. If you get married, then give the concubine a death first, and the concubine can only greet others with a tablet."
"Stubborn!"
"Your Majesty!"
At this time, the eunuch's hurried voice came from outside, he rushed to the door in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Master Gu, Master Gu, he has called!"
"Called?"
Fan Xuan was shocked: "What do you mean by calling?"
Before he finished speaking, there was a noisy voice outside, mixed with Gu Jiusi's shouting: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, I will not marry! I will not marry anyone!"
"Your Majesty," Gu Jiusi pushed and blocked his guards, shouting, "I am no longer an official, I will resign and go back! You demote me, I will take my wife back! "
"Yuru! Yuru!"
Gu Jiusi's voice came and shouted: "Come out! I'll take you away!"
"Damn!"
The queen mother slapped the table and said angrily: "Call the imperial army over and yell in front of the inner palace gate, what is the rule?! Drag me down and fight!"
The guard next to him was killed and rushed out.
Gu Jiusi was outside, surrounded by guards, dragging him to leave. He fought with the guards at the door. He was very skilled, but the guards next to him kept coming, and the two sides were deadlocked at the door of Yeyang Palace.
The Queen Mother turned pale with anger, but Liu Yuru lowered her head, pursed her lips, and couldn't help but smile.
Fan Xuan listened to Gu Jiusi's shouting outside, and looked at Liu Yuru's firm appearance in front of him. After a long time, he finally said: "Gu Liushi, you really would rather die than serve Gu Aiqing with the princess?"
"Yes." Liu Yuru looked firm. Fan Xuan was silent for a while, listening to the commotion outside, he finally said, "Feng Xiang, go and pour a glass of poisonous wine."
Liu Yuru's expression moved, but she still did not speak. Zhang Fengxiang bowed his head, and went outside. After a while, he returned with a glass of poisonous wine.
Seeing Zhang Fengxiang holding the wine glass, Gu Jiusi went crazy and rushed towards the main hall of Yeyang Palace, roaring, "What are you doing!"
No one answered him, Gu Jiusi suddenly panicked.
He knew too well what a glass of wine in the inner palace meant, and he had already speculated what was going on inside.
He was punched to the ground, he reacted and wanted to stand up, but many people pressed him, he desperately tried to rush forward, angrily said: "Liu Yuru, Don't do anything stupid to me!"
"Get out!"
"Your Majesty," Gu Jiusi said loudly, "This is because the Queen Mother wants to divide you and me! Don't be confused! You let Yuru go!"
Gu Jiusi shouted frantically outside, Liu Yuru watched Zhang Fengxiang bring the poisonous wine over. Fan Xuan looked at Liu Yuru and said seriously: "Yuru, the wine is here, if you really would rather die, then I will not embarrass you. If you go, I will not force him, he mourned for you for three years, It is his will to marry or not to marry in the future."
"Three years later, he may forget you. The position of Mrs. Gu's young lady may be taken by others. He will soon be the minister of household, Yuru," Fan Xuan's voice was a little hoarse ,"Not worth it."
Liu Yuru smiled, she turned her head to look outside the hall, but said, "Your Majesty, how long did it take to kill this poisonous wine?"
"Time for a stick of incense."
"Will it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt."
"Will it be ugly after death?"
"Not ugly."
"The concubine is relieved."
Liu Yuru said, stretched out her hand, and picked up the cup.
Her hands trembled slightly, she was actually very frightened, very frightened, but thinking of Gu Jiusi, Gu Jiusi's clear eyes, thinking of him saying that unless he died, she would remarry, she suddenly gave birth to Endless courage.
People have to protect something, at any cost. She has to bet this time.
She looked at Fan Xuan, and confirmed for the last time: "Your Majesty, your concubine drank this glass of poisonous wine, you will never again embarrass Jiusi's marriage in your life, will you?"
Speaking, he looked at Liu Yuru's stubborn expression, sighed, and finally said: "Forget it, there is nothing to be embarrassed about in the future. If you say a lifetime, that is a lifetime."
Hearing this, Liu Yuru closed her eyes, took the cup, drank the wine glass, and then smashed the wine glass on the ground.
"Your Majesty, remember what you promised," Liu Yuru gasped, her whole body was shaking, and she said hurriedly, "I want to talk to him more."
After she finished speaking, she didn't want to say any more, and rushed out of the hall, pushed open the door of the hall, and saw Gu Jiusi who was crushed in the crowd.
When the door opened, everyone was stunned, Liu Yuru stood at the door and looked at him with a smile.
When Gu Jiusi saw her, he was the first to react.
He was covered in wounds and stopped in front of her panting.
The setting sun was behind him, reflecting the colorful clouds in the sky, Liu Yuru stretched out her hand and hugged him tightly.
She felt weak in her legs, and she didn't know if it was the effect of poison. She leaned on Gu Jiusi's chest, listened to his heartbeat, and whispered: "Jusi, I am very domineering. ."
Gu Jiusi choked up and did not speak, Liu Yuru leaned against him, closed her eyes and said, "Whoever wants to marry you has to walk by my life."
Gu Jiusi trembled slightly when she heard this.
"Silly girl..." He burst into tears and hugged her tightly, "Silly girl."
Liu Yuru laughed softly in his arms when she heard this.
She remembered that when she was a child, she wanted a flower on the tree, and many children wanted it. She was a little girl, and she fought with people and clenched her teeth to grab the flower.
After so many years, her temperament has not changed. What she wanted, she desperately wanted, and she wanted it too.
"Jiusi," she felt a little tired, and indescribable sleepiness surfaced, she whispered, "carry me home."
"Okay." Gu Jiusi said hoarsely. He turned her over on his back and looked up at the Endless Miyagi.
The sky was beautiful. He was dressed in white, with loose hair, bruised and limping.
With Liu Yuru on his back, she closed her eyes and seemed to be asleep. Gu Jiusi carried her on his back, gritted his teeth and endured the severe pain in his feet, and walked out step by step.
Everyone stared at them and didn't dare to stop them. Liu Yuru was a little confused, she felt sleepy, and she was afraid of falling asleep. She knew that if she fell asleep this time, she might never see Gu Jiusi again.
She lay on Gu Jiusi's back, hugged Gu Jiusi, and asked deliriously, "Jusi, do I like you very much?"
"Yes," Gu Jiusi's eyes were sour, "I don't want to die if I like it."
"Liu Yuru," Gu Jiusi sniffed, "You like me less, okay?"
Liu Yuru couldn't help laughing.
"No way," she murmured, "in the next life."
"In the next life, I will like you less."
