Chapter 93 Chapter 93 The crematorium officially begins, Gu Shigou...
"Your Majesty, could you please explain the situation to me in detail? What does it mean that she had made up her mind to come to me?"
He turned his eyes, without a trace of panic in them.
Gu Shi coughed a few times and said in a hoarse voice:
"She wants to leave me and find you."
"Then you didn't stop it?"
"No."
Qin Sizhao said calmly:
"So you've agreed, right?"
Gu Shi was filled with malice, thinking about how to make Qin Sizhao feel even more regretful. His eyes rolled, and he only muttered a simple syllable from his throat:
"Um."
He looked into his calm eyes, just wanting him to know what he had missed.
What he missed was the happy ending that was within his reach, but now it has all vanished into thin air. He was just a little bit away from being able to be with Lingchuan.
Qin Sizhao was silent for a while. The sad expression that Gu Shi expected did not appear on his face. Instead, he looked confused.
He seemed to be thinking of a countermeasure in silence.
Gu Shi stared at him with fierce eyes and asked:
"Tao Jinrong is already dead, don't you feel sad? You two were almost together."
He repeated it, clenched his right fist, and slammed the table hard:
"Tao Jinrong is dead!"
His disabled arm was numb from the shock, and he tremblingly pulled his hand back into his sleeve. Because he had no strength to use it, the muscles in his right arm were no longer as beautiful as before.
He raised his eyes and looked into his. Qin Sizhao was just staring straight ahead with a calm and focused look.
Gu Shi seemed to understand something in an instant.
He was filled with anxiety, fearing that his ecstasy would be in vain. This anxiety burned rapidly and he was furious, but he did not want to lose his composure in front of him, so he swallowed the bloody breath in his mouth.
Before Gu Shi could react, a clear child's voice broke the dead silence in the air:
"Hahahaha... I, Daniel, really want to see what this emperor looks like... Does he have one eye or two?"
"Daniu, don't go, don't go... Come back..."
"You can't catch up with me, you can't catch up with me! Lulululu!"
Li Daniu's chubby little legs moved very quickly, and in a short while he ran to the reception room.
When he saw Gu, he screamed exaggeratedly and leaned back in an artificial manner.
"Wow, this emperor looks so scary! Two big dark circles under his eyes!"
Aunt Qian rushed forward, covered the child's mouth, and knelt straight down, crying and begging:
"Your Majesty, calm down. Your Majesty, calm down. Children are ignorant..."
"That's fine. I'll ask the child a few questions alone. You go down first."
"yes……"
Aunt Qian was so scared that tears and snot started streaming down her face, and she staggered out.
"Wow--"
Seeing Aunt Qian crying, Li Daniu, who didn't know why, also started crying.
Gu Shi was already anxious, and when he heard the child crying, he became quite impatient and said quickly:
"Is there any woman around you, Master Qin?"
Li Daniu mumbled a bunch of incomprehensible words and added a sentence at the end.
"No, I only have one sister."
Qin Sizhao was really worried about this kid. It was already a certain time, and he was still talking nonsense.
"What kind of sister?"
"Beautiful sister, but a little fierce."
Gu Shi already understood everything. His eyes were still fierce, but he couldn't help but fall into ecstasy. Two completely different emotions appeared on his face at the same time, which made him fall into madness.
"Go away, the farther the better."
The child was so scared that he ran out of the door. Aunt Qian was waiting outside. She grabbed the child and quickly took him back to County Magistrate Li's house.
Gu Shi laughed a few times, but there was no joy in his already hoarse voice. Instead, his laughter sounded like a ghost coming back to life in the middle of the night.
He stood up shakily from the chair, holding a long sword in his trembling right hand, and ran straight to the bedroom.
He didn't know whether he was happy or sad at this moment. There were obvious signs of two people living together in this bedroom. A woman's bellyband was still hanging on the head of the bed. He suddenly lifted the quilt, and the sheets were full of traces of the two people's lovemaking last night.
Qin Sizhao must have seduced her! How shameless!
Lingchuan is not dead!
From beginning to end, he was the only one who was tortured!
Gu Shi looked in the mirror, and saw a face that looked like he was half laughing and half crying, with deeply sunken eyes and extremely thin cheeks. He was already haggard, with cheekbones as sharp as knives, a stark contrast to his once handsome face.
The corners of his mouth trembled a few times, and he stretched out his hand and suddenly grabbed the bronze mirror, smashing it straight against the wall. His right hand was instantly covered in blood and twitching constantly.
Why was he the only one who had to suffer this? Why did she treat him like this?
He walked back to the living room tremblingly, holding the sword in his bloody hand. Qin Sizhao was neither hurried nor slow. He just took out a purple clay teapot and poured tea for him with his back to him.
Hearing his footsteps, he turned around, looked at him calmly, and said:
"This small place cannot compare to the capital. I'm afraid I can't provide a good reception. Your Majesty, please calm down. This tea was brought from County Magistrate Li's family. They said it was a tribute. Please try it."
Swish——
The sharp blade cuts the air.
Gu Shi placed the cold sword across his neck and shouted hysterically into the air:
"Tao Jinrong, come out! I know you're here! Come out now! Or I'll kill him!"
"What do you want with my wife?"
Qin Sizhao's expression and tone were unusually calm, without a trace of fear. Gu Shi seemed to be suffering from the backlash of his own madness, and he pinched his neck tightly:
"Get her out quickly, I want to see her!"
"As long as you promise not to disturb my wife and me, I can ask her to come out."
"It's obviously your body that is so lowly! You seduced my wife! Otherwise, how could she change her mind! She...she has loved me from the beginning to the end..."
Qin Sizhao sighed:
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for my impoliteness."
Click——
Gu Shi heard a crisp sound and felt a sudden pain in his shoulder blade, and then he lost consciousness. His hands could no longer move, and the sword fell straight to the ground.
For Qin Sizhao, removing a person's joints was as easy as drinking water, not to mention that he keenly discovered that Gu Shi's right arm seemed to be injured and he couldn't lift it.
He gritted his teeth, took a step back, and sat down on the chair as if he refused to admit defeat. He bit his lower lip and still maintained the aura of a superior.
Tao Jinrong came out carrying a big shovel. She looked rather disheveled. Sweat soaked her hair and stuck to her forehead. Her coat hung loosely on her body without any time to tie the belt.
"Gu Shi, not only did you hold a sword, but you also attacked first. You still can't win. Isn't it shameful?"
His eyes widened, and he looked her up and down like a starving ghost seeing delicious food.
She became a little fuller and a little tanned. Her skin was not as fair and smooth as before, but her complexion looked better. Her cheeks and lips had a natural rosy color, and her eyes were clearer, brighter and more energetic, exuding a natural and healthy beauty.
Her outer garment was open, revealing only a thin undershirt underneath. The color of her bellyband could be vaguely seen, and there were bite marks and kiss marks on her neck.
Gu Shi smiled and slumped down in the chair weakly.
"Lingchuan, you've caused me so much pain."
"What happened? How did I hurt you? Tell me clearly."
She reached out and pinched his chin with such skill that his tongue piercing trembled and he felt a sharp sting.
"I thought you were dead..."
He turned his eyes away and looked at the floor. As he looked, his eyes became sore and tears fell drop by drop.
"The Cong Cui Palace was on fire. There was a female corpse inside. It was burnt beyond recognition. I thought it was you."
"Oh, then you misunderstood. It must have been someone else. You evacuated everyone else that day, so no one saw me. I just took a small path."
She just uttered a few words casually.
Gu Shi's tears flowed down his thin and pale chin and all the way to his Adam's apple, reflecting the bright light.
He wanted to reach out and wipe his tears, but his arms were dislocated and he couldn't move them at all.
Tao Jinrong looked at Qin Sizhao and asked:
"Is it necessary to put his arm back on?"
Gu Shi's tears fell drop by drop. He lowered his head and said timidly:
"After you pierced my collarbone with your silver hairpin that day, I couldn't lift my right arm anymore. I lost all strength and could no longer lift a bow and arrow."
"I feel so much pain every day. The wound really hurts..."
Qin Sizhao didn't hide his contempt. He frowned and looked at him with hostility and warning. At this point, why was he still pretending to be pitiful...
Tao Jinrong scratched his uncombed hair with a hint of helplessness and said:
"Come on, stop crying. Anyway, I've already married Qin Sizhao. You're going to hold a general election, so elect a few more people and forget about this matter of mine."
Gu Shi bit his lower lip and looked at her helplessly.
"I was just thinking...if there was still a chance and you were still alive...would you come out to stop me as soon as I started the audition..."
Tao Jinrong's face turned red and white, white and red again, and changed again and again. He really didn't know what to say, so he just squeezed out a few words from between his teeth:
"It's really annoying to collect less tax."
Gu Shi sat dejectedly on the chair, as if he had admitted defeat.
Click—click—
With two crisp sounds, Qin Sizhao put his arm joint back in place and said coldly:
"Your Majesty, please go back."
His eyes were filled with hostility, almost murderous intent, and he said in an almost inaudible voice:
"It's like a brothel."
Gu Shi keenly caught this hostility, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly in a smile.
He suddenly understood something, turned around, took out a handkerchief to wipe his tears, and said in a deliberately low voice:
"I have nothing left... I have no hope in this life. Lingchuan, you have to take care of yourself. I just hope you can be happy. As for me... who would really care whether I'm dead or alive?"
