Chapter 187: Explanation
As soon as Yu Chi said this, all three people in the room looked at him in disbelief.
The emperor's death was too chaotic. When Yu Chi sealed his acupuncture points, he pulled Yu Chi's sleeve and told him where Yu Chi's jade seal was hidden.
He was not confident in telling any of the princes, and Yu Chi's evaluation of several princes was very pertinent. He chose to believe this miracle doctor.
Gu Wuhui was too kind and gentle, Gu Wuji was not strong-willed and easily affected by emotions, not to mention Gu Wuyuan.
In fact, he was not at ease to pass the throne to any emperor, but the emperor knew that the situation in Shangjing was going to change. If the person who finally ascended the throne was Gu Wuhui or Gu Wuji, he would put a sword together with the jade seal, which could be used to kill tyrants and treacherous ministers.
Yu Chi would hang this sword over their heads to keep them alert at all times. If the person who finally ascended the throne was Gu Wuyuan, Yu Chi would directly kill Gu Wuyuan with this sword.
If Gu Wuhui or Gu Wuji was still alive at that time, he would enthronize Gu Wuhui. If Gu Wuhui was dead, the next emperor would be Gu Wuji.
But if both of them died in this palace change, Yu Chi would take the jade seal and enthronize the ninth prince Gu Wushang.
The emperor was very brief when he gave the explanation. Gu Wuhui was the first, Gu Wuji was the second, and Gu Wushang was a last resort, but it must not be Gu Wuyuan.
The Xuan Dynasty did not need an emperor who colluded with foreign countries.
After Yu Chi said that Gu Wuyuan colluded with Tatars, the emperor sent people to investigate. On the eve of the palace banquet, he got the news that what Yu Chi said was not wrong.
It was precisely because of this that the emperor chose to believe Yu Chi.
After the explanation, he asked Yu Chi if he remembered it. Hearing Yu Chi say that he remembered it, he felt relieved.
Although Yu Chi gave him a medicine to delay the poison to save his life, the poison was too strong and he finally couldn't hold on.
Yu Chi glanced at Gu Wuhui.
"I have locked you up in the place closest to the imperial seal. Who would have thought that you are so honest that you don't even look for it."
Gu Wuhui was stunned. He really hadn't thought about it. He originally thought that he was locked up in the emperor's bedroom because it was close to it. When he was not locked up, he was thinking about what
Yu Chi wanted to do. He never thought about looking for the imperial seal.
With so many years of getting along, he really couldn't think of the reason why Yu Chi detained them, because this person really didn't care about power at all.
Because he once mentioned to Yu Chi that he could recommend Yu Chi to enter the Imperial Hospital. With his ability, it would not be a problem for him to become a hospital guard.
By then, he would have both reputation and status, but Yu Chi refused. It was not
until Yu Chi asked that question that he figured out the reason for Yu Chi's behavior.
But now Yu Chi told him that he was locked up in the place closest to the imperial seal?
Gu Wuhui: "Where is it?"
He looked around and Yu Chi nodded at the dragon bed.
"In the secret compartment below."
Following Yu Chi's line of sight, Gu Wuhui stood up and walked to the dragon bed. He pressed around and found that there was indeed a secret compartment on the footrest.
Once opened, there was the imperial seal and a Shangfang sword.
Gu Wuhui took out both things, returned to the table, and handed the Shangfang sword directly to Yu Chi.
"Yours."
Yu Chi looked at the sword and raised his hand to take it.
"I'm leaving and won't stay in the capital, but Gu Wuhui, I hope you remember what you promised me."
Yu Chi has lost too much. Now he just wants fairness and to return to the mountains with Gu Jue.
Whether it's the Tayuan Army that controls the palace, Jiyue Pavilion, or Feng Wuqing and others, what they actually want is fairness.
For Gu Jue, for Jiang Si, for the dead Mingze, and for the many kind-hearted foreigners in this world.
Gu Wuhui said: "I promised you that I will promulgate new laws to treat foreigners and mortals equally, but Yu Chi, you have to understand that prejudice is deeply rooted in most people's hearts and cannot be removed so quickly."
Yu Chi: "I know, but it's better to do it than not to do it. At least they don't have to live cautiously anymore."
Yu Chi initially thought of many reasons to convince Gu Wuhui, but almost none of them worked.
Now the ending can be regarded as the dust has settled. Gu Wuhui became the new emperor and ascended the throne with the jade seal.
Yu Chi and Jiang Xinian got the fairness they wanted and were about to leave.
Gu Jue carried Gu Wushang back to the palace that night and handed it to Gu Wuhui. When Gu Wuhui looked at Gu Jue, he smiled with relief and said to him.
"I hope you and Yu Chi will be...happy in the future."
Gu Wuhui didn't see things as clearly as Yu Chi. Perhaps because he didn't have Yu Chi's experience, he was a little shocked when he found out that Gu Jue was not human, but now it seems that it's nothing.
He didn't think that Gu Jue was different from them.
Gu Jue was inexplicably blessed by Gu Wuhui, and was a little stunned. He touched his nose and replied a little embarrassedly.
"Thank you, I will."
The next day, Gu Wuhui sentenced Gu Wuyuan and Concubine Lan, charging them with murdering the emperor, colluding with foreign nations, and attempting to rebel.
Each of these crimes is punishable by death. The execution time was set at noon, and the founding general Jiang Qun was in charge.
Jiang Xinian left earlier than Yu Chi and the others. It was almost a judgment that Jiang Xinian and Jiang Si were going to leave, and Yu Hexi went to see her off.
After all, this was still her sister who had grown up under her watch, and she was more or less reluctant to let her go.
Jiang Xinian said, "Sister Yu, all partings are for the next reunion. Thank you for protecting me for so many years. Now I have to protect other girls."
People always have to learn to grow up. No one can really be an innocent child all their lives.
The rebellion had just subsided, and Gu Wuhui was so busy that he could hardly be seen. There were a lot of things waiting for him to deal with.
At that time, Yu Chi and Gu Jue were drinking with Feng Wuqing and his friends. Yu Chi hosted the party to thank Feng Wuqing for his help.
Feng Wuqing waved his hand and said, "It's a small amount of money."
He and Qiao Yu had been having a great time in Shangjing these days. He said he was here to pay for the help, but in fact, he did nothing except the place and money.
He himself felt it was a pity for his brother and Mingze, but time could not be turned back, and there was no regret medicine in the world for him to take.
Just think of it as for Mingze and Miss Jiangli.
Feng Wuqing and Qiao Yu did not stay for long. Since the matter had been settled, they had no reason to stay in Shangjing. In addition, Qiao Jin and Jiangli were going to get married in March, and they had to go back to help prepare. Before leaving
, Feng Wuqing even told them repeatedly to remember to come.
He left only after hearing their agreement.
When Gu Wuyuan and others were executed, Yu Chi and others went to watch the execution. He saw Gu Wuhui standing in front of Concubine Lan and asked her.
"Do you regret it?"
Concubine Lan did not speak, nor did she nod or shake her head. She just stared at Gu Wuhui's eyes and her eyes suddenly turned red.
Maybe she regretted it, regretted not treating Gu Wuji well. She
regretted killing Gu Wuji by mistake.
But it is a fact that she gave up Gu Wuji and turned
to Gu Wuyuan. It is also a fact that she had hurt Gu Wuji.
Gu Wuhui and Concubine Lan looked at each other, and finally he raised his hand and called Jiang Yu.
"General Jiang, execute him."
He didn't know who Concubine Lan was looking at at this time, maybe him, or maybe she was looking at Gu Wuji through him.
Yu Hexi once said that Gu Wuhui and Gu Wuji's eyes were actually very similar.
The reason why Gu Wuhui asked this question was because Gu Wuji was killed by Concubine Lan for saving his mother, and his mother was trying to protect him. He suddenly felt that Gu Wuji was not worthy.
Gu Wuji seemed to have never received love from anyone, not even his mother. No, maybe he had received it before, but the little love that Concubine Wan gave to Gu Wuji made Gu Wuji remember it all his life. He
never forgot it until his death.
So far, everything was over, and Yu Chi had put down the stone in his heart. As Gu Wuhui issued a new law, Yu Chi and his team were also going to leave for Shangjing.
They sent Yu Xinrou off first and left. When they left, Yu Chi also told Yu Xinrou to take care of herself, not to work too hard, and to get enough rest.
At first they didn't understand what was going on, but then they realized that Yu Xinrou was pregnant.
Ye Ziluo was going to be a father, and Gu Jue was going to be an uncle.
When Yu Chi and his friends left, Gu Wuhui and Yu Hexi came to see them off. After all, they were still friends, so they had to see
them off. Mu Bailinfeng and his friends were with Yu Chi and his friends. They didn't have anything else to do, so they might as well go back to the mountains with Yu Chi and his friends.
Tianxuan was the one who drove the carriage for Yu Chi and his friends. Gu Wuhui looked at Tianxuan and suddenly asked Yu Chi.
"Have you settled the money from Jiyue Pavilion?"
Yu Chi smiled and waved his hand, saying, "No need to settle it."
Gu Wuhui was stunned: "Why?"
Yu Chi turned around, saw Gu Jue and the others got on the carriage, and then turned back to Gu Wuhui.
"Because every time you settle the bill, you are actually giving me money."
What he told Gu Wuji was half true and half false. The false one was that Gu Wuhui gave him 2 million taels every year, and the true one was that Gu Wuhui was indeed giving him money, but even Gu Wuhui himself didn't know how much money he was giving.
Gu Wuhui was confused and stood there without reacting. When Yu Chi got on the carriage, he suddenly realized that he had been a sucker for several years.
"Yu Chi! You're kidding me. You really should sit at the same table with the dog!"
But the carriage had already gone far away, and no one responded to him.
