"Empress! Something bad has happened!"
“Oh no!”
Lan Xuan ran in from outside the palace gate, stumbled and fell to the ground, her face covered in blood.
The queen was playing with birds in front of the door. She looked very weak and only managed to maintain a little spirit.
He looked at Lan Xuan who had fallen down with some fatigue, and a hint of annoyance flashed across his brows.
"What's the matter? Miaomiao, is there anything you want to tell me in the prison?"
In the past two days, Lan Xuan has been the messenger between the Queen and Gu Miao. The Queen asks Lan Xuan to deliver whatever she needs.
Because she was a princess, the guards turned a blind eye to this matter.
"The princess... the princess..."
As she spoke, Lan Xuan's tears began to fall, and she didn't know why her eyes were filled with fear.
She was so timid, and the queen became even more annoyed. She turned around and shouted:
"If you have something to say, just say it! What's this like?"
"I'm already so upset! That bitch gave birth to a prince and is so proud of herself now. The emperor has already forgotten me! And you still think it's not messy enough!"
"Her temper needs to be tempered! She's so bold she's capable of anything!"
"Although the emperor said he would imprison her forever, it doesn't matter. Let her learn this lesson. After a few days, when the emperor's anger has subsided, I will have her released."
"There will definitely be nothing to say by then."
After being scolded by the Queen, Lan Xuan lowered her head even lower, but cried even harder.
"The Queen... the Princess! The Princess!"
“He died suddenly!!”
"Varied--"
Her voice suddenly became sharp, the queen trembled all over, then rolled her eyes and fainted.
"The Queen! The Queen!"
The whole palace was in chaos. The bird in the cage that the queen had just been feeding began to chirp.
"Miaomiao! Drink water! Miaomiao! Eat!"
"Miaomiao! Dead!"
"Dead! Dead!"
…
The third princess died suddenly in the sky prison. When the emperor heard the news, he was stunned for a moment, but then he was attracted by the cries of the child in his arms.
"That's all."
He said lightly, teasing the child in his arms
"Bury him."
The emperor was even unwilling to investigate this matter and buried Gu Miao's body in such a hasty manner.
The lights in Gu Yinghuai Palace were bright.
Lin Qingshan and Chu Zhiyao sat at the bottom, watching Gu Yinghuai happily drinking wine and enjoying the singing and dancing.
When the song ended, he put down his glass, waved his hand to let the group of women leave, and smiled at Chu Zhiyao.
"It's really hard to get you out at this critical juncture."
"They were all officers and soldiers sent by the Emperor. It took a lot of effort for me to get you out."
Chu Zhiyao's face turned ugly. He walked to the center of the stage and knelt down in front of Gu Yinghuai.
"I can no longer serve Your Highness. Please punish me."
"Punishment?"
There was no trace of anger on Gu Yinghuai's face. Instead, he opened his eyes and looked at Chu Zhiyao.
"You're already being exiled to the northwest. What other punishment can you expect?"
"Tomorrow is the day you will be exiled. It's a pity to think about it."
"We've worked together for so long, and now it's like this."
"Your Highness, don't mind."
Chu Zhiyao replied
"Although this trip is to the northwest, I will definitely find a way to come back."
"There's no need to say those words anymore."
Lin Qingshan also said slowly
"The road to the northwest is long and arduous, Lieutenant General, please be careful along the way."
"If there is another opportunity in the future, I will definitely be your colleague again."
"but……"
He slowly put down his wine glass, his calm face full of regret
"I've thought of countless separations, but I never imagined that the vice general would be separated because of a woman..."
At this point, even if Lin Qingshan didn't say anything more, Chu Zhiyao naturally understood what he meant. However, he didn't get angry. Instead, he shrugged his shoulders and said
"Mr. Lin won't understand."
"The relationship between Zhao Zhao and me has far surpassed that between a man and a woman. No one can understand the feelings between us."
When he said this, Gu Yinghuai smiled, but it was hard to tell what the smile meant.
"Although the deputy general said so, I remember that Miss Luo seemed to have been able to obtain it because the deputy general used a different method at the time..."
At that time, Chu Zhiyao was poisoned by a Gu, and had no choice but to use Luo Zhaozhao to remove the Gu, and at the same time, he also made her pregnant.
Although the child was not saved in the end, this kind of thing still feels unkind no matter how you look at it.
This was also something that Chu Zhiyao had always kept in his heart. He was very smart and naturally knew that Luo Zhaozhao had always resented him for this matter.
But it doesn't matter, as long as you persist...
Sooner or later, sooner or later Luo Zhaozhao will see my true heart.
Seeing the determination on his face, Gu Yinghuai smiled even more deeply, put down the wine he had been drinking, and moved on to other things.
Late at night, he had Chu Zhiyao sent out, and the sounds of singing and dancing resumed in the room.
"Your Highness, this man..."
Lin Qingshan then asked, if Chu Zhiyao was going to be exiled, and yet he knew their news and plans.
Such people cannot be kept.
His worry was met with two tuts of laughter from Gu Yinghuai, which seemed to be a sound of disdain.
"The Lin Song we talked about last time, do you think he looks a lot like him?"
"Why are they all so heartbroken and willing to give up their vast country for a woman? What use do they have, do you think?"
"If he wants to go, then let him go. There's no need to waste time arguing with him about some things."
"There's no need to kill him. We don't even need to do anything."
"Chu Zhiyao is devotedly in love with Miss Luo. He thinks the depth of his love can move others, but he has no idea."
"Love doesn't take root, hatred does."
"With his personality, he will be ruined by a woman sooner or later. Don't worry about it."
…
On the day Luo Zhaozhao and Chu Zhiyao were exiled to the northwest, Gu Qingsheng and Xu Qingyi came to see them off.
The first heavy snow of winter finally fell. Amidst the white snow, Xu Qingyi put a cloak on Gu Qingsheng.
The team heading to the northwest was gathering in front, and she was behind, waiting for Luo Zhaozhao to appear.
Holding Gu Qingsheng's hand tightly, Xu Qingyi exhaled into it
"I told you a while ago that it might snow soon, but you just wouldn't listen."
Those hands were cold, and only with the warmth of Xu Qingyi did they feel a little warmer.
"I got up late today and forgot to wear more clothes before going out. Bailu is the same. She has never been so careful."
Bai Lu, who was named for no reason, pouted to express her dissatisfaction
"Now it's not my turn to do these things! If I had dressed the young lady warmly, there wouldn't be any clothes for the Imperial Master to wear now!"
"Then there will be no chance for the Imperial Master to show his abilities!"
Looking at the two people's clasped hands, Bai Lu smiled slyly.
"You girl, you are becoming more and more unruly."
