Chapter 2069 Rumors
Gu Tingqiu fiercely flicked his sleeves and turned to walk away. As he walked, he said sadly: "What sin did our Gu family, and your Si family, commit? Why did these daughters, one by one, -"
Hearing his words, Si Muyun also felt heavy-hearted.
Just as Gu Tingqiu turned to leave, he heard a click in the attic behind him, as if something was leaning against the window.
He looked up and saw a slender figure behind the window.
The figure seemed to be worried and turned away.
It’s Gu Qiqing.
Seeing her like this, Si Muyun's heart was filled with guilt and sadness, especially now that Si Muzhen's whereabouts were unknown, which made him even more anxious.
Although Simuzhen had been removed from the family tree, he knew that what she had done was too much. He didn't blame the imperial concubine and his uncle for treating her like that. But now that something like this had happened, she had suddenly disappeared without a trace. The six armies of the Forbidden City had searched for her for several days but couldn't find any trace of her...
After all, she is my sister who grew up with me. It is impossible for me to say that I am not worried.
Now, the whole city was in uproar, but as the elder brother, he didn't know what he could do. He just sighed deeply. At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind him.
"Mu Yun, you're back?"
When I turned around, it was Gu Yiyou.
Ever since Gu Yiyou and Tong Sinian followed the emperor and the imperial concubine on a tour to the northwest, the two have not seen each other for more than half a year. Although he knew they were back, Si Muyun had been busy with government affairs in the court these days and had no time to return to the Gu Mansion or meet them.
As soon as she saw him, she immediately said, "Yiyou, long time no see."
Gu Yiyou walked over, bowed to him, and looking at his heavy expression, he said, "You, came back for that matter?"
"Um."
"Alas, this matter has made my father extremely anxious. He has lost his appetite for several days."
"I know this matter is definitely related to Mu Zhen, but now she's gone, and I don't know what to do."
Gu Yiyou glanced at him and said with a complicated expression: "Mu Zhen...didn't she look for you?"
Simuyun immediately said, "Of course."
“…”
"I, although I still treat her as my sister, I dare not be partial to her and bend the law when something serious like this happens. If it is really her fault, I will definitely ask her to come back and give an explanation to Qi Qing."
Gu Yiyou was silent for a moment before he said, "The instructions given to Qi Qing are small."
“…”
"The most important thing is the King of Wei."
Having said that, he sighed and said, "Never mind. These things are not something we can worry about. Anyway, things will definitely be resolved."
"Um."
Si Muyun could only sigh and nodded, and suddenly thought of Tong Sinian and said, "By the way, I heard that Sinian's hand-"
When this was mentioned, a solemn expression appeared on Gu Yiyou's face.
He nodded slightly.
Si Muyun said sadly: "I, I'll go see him."
Gu Yiyou said, "Don't go over there now."
"What's wrong?"
"He's with a friend, let's not disturb him."
"Friends, what friends?"
Si Muyun was a little surprised. You know, the three of them grew up together and knew almost the same friends. What friends of Tong Sinian did he not know?
Gu Yiyou said with a smile: "Don't ask yet, it has something to do with his hand."
"ah?"
"It's okay. I'll give you a surprise in the future."
Si Muyun was still a little surprised, but Gu Yiyou had already put his arm around his shoulders and said with a smile: "Let's go, we brothers haven't seen each other for a long time, and things are like this at home, let's go out for a couple of drinks and relax."
"……All right."
The two of them left the Gu family.
No matter how many rumors were spreading and how gloomy the atmosphere in the Gu family was, the capital city was still as lively as before, with people coming and going on the streets and traffic. The two of them went into the restaurant, found a seat by the window, ordered some food and drinks, and started drinking together.
After two drinks, Simuyun continued, "By the way, I heard that you and Si Nian made great contributions during this trip to the northwest. Why did you get nothing when it came to rewards?"
After hearing this, Gu Yiyou smiled bitterly and shook his finger.
"I just realized now that working in the imperial court is not that simple."
“…”
“If you do something right, you may not be rewarded; but if you do something wrong, you will definitely be punished.”
Hearing this, Simuyun also smiled faintly: "Yes, this is the rule of being an official, but it is much more complicated than being a human being."
After the two of them finished talking, they clinked their glasses again.
Just as they were drinking, they heard heavy footsteps on the long street downstairs. They looked out and saw a group of soldiers from the Six Armies of the Forbidden City running across the long street.
Seeing this, the other guests in the restaurant started talking about it before the two of them could say anything.
"What? Are they the Six Armies of the Forbidden City again?"
"The Imperial City has been turned upside down recently. What on earth are they trying to do?"
"You don't know yet, they are looking for - looking for someone from the Imperial Concubine's family."
"The Imperial Concubine? That is, the Imperial Concubine?"
"Does our Great Yan Dynasty have a second imperial concubine? If there is another one, I'm afraid the world will change."
"Hey, hey, hey, don't talk nonsense."
Gu Yiyou and Si Muyun looked at each other without saying anything. Both of them listened quietly.
The guests didn't know each other at first, but as they started chatting, they became more familiar with each other. Everyone asked, "Who are you looking for in the imperial concubine's family?"
"You don't know yet? This time, you all know about the matter between the King of Wei and Miss Gu."
“Who doesn’t know this?”
"I heard that there were two of them, no, there was also a young girl, and a group of nuns, in that nunnery—hehe."
"The King of Wei is young, but he knows how to have fun."
"What's the point of knowing how to play? You'll still be sold out."
"Who sold him out?"
"Who sold him out? Now the six armies of the Forbidden City are looking for whoever they want."
"You mean, the rumored Concubine's sister became a nun on her behalf?"
"yes."
"Why? Aren't they a family? Speaking of which, Miss Gu and that nun are also relatives."
"What's so hard to understand? Miss Si is young and beautiful. Who would be willing to have such a beautiful girl taken to a nunnery and have her head shaved to become a nun at such a young age?"
"Didn't she volunteer?"
"Voluntarily? If I ask you to shave your head and become a monk, would you be willing?"
"this--"
"After all, it was just something that happened in the emperor's bed. The imperial concubine was so angry that she sent her sister to a nunnery. I didn't expect it to escalate into something like this. I don't know how it will end."
