On the second day after the marriage was granted, Luo Zhaozhao committed suicide by jumping into the river.
But she did not die. Many people in the palace found her early. When she was pulled out, she was unconscious and her face was blue.
He was still alive after being revived by the imperial physician, and the letter he left before his death expressed his opposition to the marriage and his willingness to die rather than agree to it.
Luo Zhaozhao was weak to begin with, and had been injured some time ago. The wound had not healed completely, and now it became inflamed and infected when it touched water, and he was in a coma all day.
For some reason, this news reached the ears of the governor's wife, Mrs. Luo. She submitted a letter requesting to enter the palace to visit her daughter, but to no avail. Finally, she went to the general's mansion, but was opposed by the governor. She cursed the general's mansion, crying and laughing by herself, which was very creepy.
The gate of the general's mansion was closed and no movement was heard.
A group of imperial doctors gathered around Luo Zhaozhao, while Gu Miao sat in the front hall with a dark face, drinking his tea which quickly finished.
There were all kinds of noises inside, and Chu Zhiyao's figure walking back and forth in front of her made her even more irritated.
"General, could you please stop wandering off? What's the point of getting anxious here? If you hadn't been so insistent on asking the Emperor for a marriage without even asking for Zhao Zhao's consent, would she be so upset?!"
Being ruthlessly exposed, Chu Zhiyao gritted his teeth and his face turned even darker.
"It's because of us..."
"Why?"
Gu Miao pressed the issue.
"Because you are a wicked person! General Chu, I'm not afraid to tell you that after this incident came out, my father sent someone to inquire with the governor, but the result was that he knew nothing about it."
"You are deceiving the emperor, a heinous crime punishable by death, and yet you remain unrepentant. My father is probably considering how to deal with you right now."
As she spoke, a sarcastic expression appeared in her eyes.
Although Gu Miao had never had much feeling for Chu Zhiyao and they had been allies some time ago, after this incident, she felt that she had misjudged the man in front of her.
Chu Zhiyao also had a lot of grievances. After this happened, he couldn't even speak.
He clearly told himself every time to stay absolutely sober, but once the energy came, even he couldn't control himself.
This is something that neither Jin Chu nor Chu Zhiyao can control, so no one else has the chance.
However, Chu Zhiyao was not afraid of the emperor's investigation or his subsequent experience. He looked at Luo Zhaozhao who was sleeping soundly on the bed and was only worried about one thing.
If tonight...
He again...
This thought became more and more serious, and Chu Zhiyao felt a chill in his heart. He said to Gu Miao:
"Princess, please ask someone to inform me when Zhao Zhao wakes up."
He walked out in a hurry, entered the general's residence through the back door, then locked himself in the room completely, and sat on the ground with his hands on his head.
…
At night, a string of bells rang quietly.
Mr. Zhan had already fallen asleep, and because the ringing sound was so faint, not many people heard it.
Gu Qingsheng looked at Li Yuan who was standing in front of his cell with bright eyes. His smiling face made her alert again.
"Sir Li, it's so late. What brings you here? If you're looking for Mr. Zhan, you're already late."
After saying that, she lowered her brows.
Li Yuan still had a smiling face, but his tone was indescribably solemn in that night.
"This time, I'm not here to look for Master Zhan."
He raised his hand and suddenly pulled the skin on the side of his face. In front of Gu Qingsheng's astonished eyes, he pulled off his human skin mask, revealing a pair of sparkling eyes.
And Gu Qingsheng only now realized that the sound of the bell came from his feet.
The colorful bells seemed familiar. She opened her mouth wide and looked at the figure in front of her in the moonlight.
"Mr. Liu?!"
"How could it be you!?"
Put on Liu Yanqiu's face, he looked good when he smiled, holding the railing with both hands
"Why, are you surprised to see me? How did you end up in jail?"
Gu Qingsheng also let down his guard and ran to Liu Yanqiu's side in two or three steps. The two looked at each other, unable to hide the joy in each other's eyes.
"Mr. Liu, why are you here? And you're wearing Li Yuan's human skin mask. What on earth is going on in here...you..."
Suddenly, the sound of several jailers chatting came from a distance, which was particularly obvious in this dark place.
Before Gu Qingsheng could finish his words, Liu Yanqiu covered his mouth with his hand.
"Shhh."
Looking at that position vigilantly, Liu Yanqiu was very careful
"I'll get you out first, so don't make any noise."
"No, Mr. Liu..."
He blamed himself for spreading the wrong information in order to conceal his identity, which made Liu Yanqiu really believe that he was in jail.
"As the saying goes, you reap what you sow."
Every time this happened, Miao Lanlan would become a little carried away, as if she was making fun of Gu Qingsheng.
The words of explanation were ultimately stuck in his throat, and he could only watch as Liu Yanqiu twisted the door in two or three strokes with an extremely thin wire. He tried to come in and was about to pull Gu Qingsheng's hand, but Gu Qingsheng ruthlessly dodged him.
Looking at Gu Qingsheng, Liu Yanqiu was puzzled.
"Kiyomori, you..."
"Don't worry, Master Liu. I can't leave here..."
"There's someone ahead! Hurry up, hurry up! I just saw someone's shadow here!"
The conversation didn't even continue before a jailer noticed something was wrong and started shouting at us.
This sound woke up all the prisoners in the cell. They looked towards Gu Qingsheng with sleepy eyes, and Liu Yanqiu immediately covered his face.
“Run!”
Immediately, his hand was held, and the cold touch made the night even colder.
The hand that was tightening more and more held Gu Qingsheng's soft and boneless hand, and the two could even feel each other's heartbeat.
All he could hear was the whistling sound of the wind. When Gu Qingsheng came to his senses, Liu Yanqiu in front of him suddenly took out a black round ball from his arms.
"Cover your mouth!"
Liu Yanqiu threw the black sphere at the feet of the jailer who was chasing him!
The sphere fell to the ground, and a black smoke began to spray out from the sphere. The effect was almost immediate. The moment everyone inhaled it, they fell asleep. The jailer immediately fell to the ground, and the prisoners who had just woken up next to him also fell down.
Even though Gu Qingsheng covered his mouth and nose, he still couldn't stop some food from entering his mouth, and he immediately felt drowsy.
Gu Qingsheng's shoulders were supported, and he felt dizzy and as if he was in a fairyland.
Just when the plan was about to succeed, Liu Yanqiu showed up unexpectedly. In his current state, he was unable to continue arguing with him, so he could only let Liu Yanqiu take him out of the cell and jump onto the roof of a building in the palace.
His hand was released, and Gu Qingsheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Liu Yanqiu helplessly.
"Mr. Liu, I really don't need you to save me..."
