Linzi Ancient City.
With the soldiers' full support, the dilapidated ancient city has been revitalized, and many houses have been rebuilt. Ning Que has kept his promise and helped them rebuild the houses, which are even better than the previous ones!
Of course, this also depends on the support of the people.
They work together and each performs their duties.
There is also help from Babao Trading Company.
And outside the city there are thousands of more tombs.
The dead are gone, and the living should cherish the present.
Lin Xianhong walks on the street.
She headed towards death row.
From time to time, wounded soldiers would greet her.
Most people had heard about her and Ning Que's affair. But Ning Que had long since let it go. He wouldn't forgive Lin Xianhong, nor would he pay any attention to her. No matter what she did, Ning Que wouldn't even glance at her.
What the soldiers want to do is their business.
But they shouldn't think that Ning Que will forgive Lin Xianhong.
Let’s deal with each matter separately and not with the person.
They received favors from Lin Xianhong.
You still have to be polite on the surface.
Lin Xianhong walked slowly to the door.
Two guards raised their hands to stop him.
"Death cell is a restricted area. Outsiders are not allowed to enter."
"This is the prince's order."
Lin Xianhong took out a jade pendant from his arms.
Only after being checked by the personal guards did he let go.
"Take me to see Gu Yuan."
"promise."
Lin Xianhong walked slowly.
She and Gu Yuan should also have an ending.
So, she asked Chang Baicao for help.
Seeing how much she had contributed recently, the latter had the audacity to ask Ning Que for help. Ning Que did not show up, but he still sent a handwritten letter to her and asked her to do something.
Lin Xianhong followed behind.
There was a foul smell in the death row.
Candles flickered on both sides.
You can also see many royal families with the surname Tian.
But Tian Zhongxun is not here.
He is the main culprit in this case and is too important.
Therefore, he was held in solitary confinement by the personal guards.
The cell door slowly opened.
Lin Xianhong walked in calmly.
Then he saw Gu Yuan lying on the ground like a dead dog.
Now he no longer has the vigor and vitality of the past.
His hair and beard were all messy.
Even the clothes were left open.
"Gu Yuan, I never thought you would become like this."
"It's you? Lin Xianhong?!"
Lin Xianhong sat calmly in front of him.
Looking down at Gu Yuan.
There was only deep hatred in his eyes.
She is where she is today thanks to Gu Yuan.
She did not deny that the main fault was hers.
But is Gu Yuan right?
Gu Yuan was using her from beginning to end!
"Gu Yuan, have you ever thought there would be such a day?"
"You are not even half as good as Ning Que right now."
"You're already addicted to drugs."
"I'm afraid he won't live long."
"Hahaha!" Gu Yuan gritted his teeth and sat up, grinning sinisterly. "I never thought you'd be willing to see me off in the end. Even more unexpected, Ning Que actually allowed you to see me. Honestly, Lin Xianhong, you're as foolish as ever, with no sense of distance at all. You're trying to win Ning Que back, desperately following him around. And now you want to see me, what do you think Ning Que will think?"
"It's okay." Lin Xianhong smiled calmly, "Ning Que and I no longer have any chance, and I'm not worthy of being by his side. But as long as I can silently help him from behind, I'll be content."
"Hahaha, interesting!"
“It’s so interesting!”
"Everyone used to say Ning Que was a bootlicker, but now it seems that you, Lin Xianhong, are even more of a bootlicker than him. In fact, you, Lin Xianhong, are also a pathetic creature. Ning Que married you purely to fulfill the old princess's last wish and to keep a low profile. He has never loved you!"
"So what?" Lin Xianhong didn't care. "I've already faced reality a long time ago. Whether he loved me or not is not important. He doesn't want to see me anymore. All I can do is do my best to make amends. That's enough. On the other hand, you, Gu Yuan... hehe, the once high and mighty young master of the Gu family, are now neither human nor ghost. And the Gu family, your most proud family, has also been exterminated!"
"What did you say?"
"Gu family...what happened to the Gu family?"
"What do you think?" Lin Xianhong frowned. "How did you become so stupid? Your Gu family is so close to the Tian royal family, and this time you openly assisted the Prince of Qi in his rebellion. Do you think the Emperor will tolerate your Gu family again?"
“This…is impossible!”
Gu Yuan was stunned.
When he went to war, Gu Mingzhi had said that even if his rebellion failed, the Gu family would be safe. This was because the Gu family held a secret that both the Empress Dowager and the Emperor had to be wary of. As long as this secret existed, the Emperor would not do anything to the Gu family.
This is also the confidence of the Gu family to jump back and forth!
They can eat this secret for a lifetime!
But now...
"You lied to me!"
"That's impossible!"
"Nothing is impossible." Lin Xianhong looked at Gu Yuan calmly, "On the contrary, you are so sure, could it be that there is another hidden reason? I think you are very clear about who the Feng Emperor is. If you openly rebel, it will definitely anger the Feng Emperor. Even if your Gu family is one of the eight great families, do you think the Feng Emperor would not dare to kill you?"
"Of course it's more than that!"
"What is that?"
Gu Yuan was about to speak when something suddenly occurred to him. He looked at Lin Xianhong and sneered, "Ning Que must have sent you here to test me, right?"
"So what if it is, and so what if it isn't?" Lin Xianhong looked at him and said calmly, "You know your situation better than I do. You won't tell me now, but you will be willing later. Once the Five Stones Powder addiction kicks in, how long can you hold out?"
Gu Yuan's face suddenly turned pale.
Five Stone Powder!
These three words seem to have magic power.
He is usually fine and has a clear mind.
But once the addiction took hold, Gu Yuan completely lost his mind. He felt as if ants were crawling all over his body, a feeling that made him want to die. In the end, he completely lost his dignity and would do anything for the Five Stones Powder.
But none of this matters anymore.
"Okay, then I'll grant your wish." Gu Yuan sat down again and said slowly, "As long as Ning Que doesn't stop me from taking the medicine, I'll tell him everything. Even if he wants to investigate this matter, I'm afraid he won't be able to find out the truth."
"Why?"
"Because my father is dead."
"Father once told me that the Gu family holds a secret. This secret is extremely important and is related to the Queen Mother. As long as they keep the secret, the Gu family will be safe. Even if we have close ties with the Prince of Qi, the Emperor Feng can only endure it."
"What's the secret?"
"I don't know..." Gu Yuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, whispering, "Father only mentioned this matter to me, but never told me the details. Lin Xianhong, I've said everything I need to say. I've been so cooperative, did Ning Que give me the medicine?"
"rest assured."
Lin Xianhong took out the medicine bag from his waist.
Looking at Gu Yuan's happy face, he also shook his head.
Without any hesitation, he turned and left.
For Gu Yuan, this was more painful than killing him!
