Chapter 6 The Prime Minister's Wife (The End)
In the pavilion.
Luo Xi and Zhu Zhu were sitting on the ground with their legs and feet tied with ropes and handkerchiefs stuffed in their mouths.
Gu Ziyan noticed a swelling on Luo Xi's forehead. He quickly stepped forward, squatted down in front of her, removed the handkerchief from her mouth, and untied the ropes binding her.
Among the people who followed behind, a maid stepped forward and helped Zhuzhu untie the ropes binding her.
Luo Xi threw herself into Gu Ziyan's arms, crying pitifully, tears streaming down her face, "Waaah, my husband, my husband..."
"It's alright, it's alright."
After a while,
Gu Ziyan then asked, "Xi'er, who tied you up?"
Luo Xi bit her lip and glanced at the Emperor with fear.
emperor:! ! !
Why are you looking at him? He didn't ask anyone to harm her.
The Emperor followed Gu Ziyan.
Luo Xi's face was pale, and she trembled all over: "It's...it's Princess Chang Le, she..."
"She forced me to take a potion that would prevent me from having children. Waaah, my husband, I will never be able to have children in this life."
She couldn't have had children anyway. After all, she studied toxicology, and her body already had problems, but she kept them under control by taking medication, preventing doctors from diagnosing them.
emperor:! ! !
A cure to prevent having children?
Given Chang Le's feelings for Gu Ziyan, she is very likely capable of doing this.
Gu Ziyan: !!!
A cure to prevent having children?
He held her tightly in his arms, feeling extremely guilty, and said, "My lady, I'm sorry, it's my fault. I should have come out with you."
If it weren't for him, Princess Chang Le wouldn't have taken action against her.
If he had known, he should have had someone kill Princess Chang Le when she returned to the capital, then it would have been over and all the trouble would have been avoided.
Luo Xi raised her wet eyes and asked cautiously, "Husband, will you not want me anymore in the future?"
His sharply defined chin gently rested on the top of her head as he pulled her close, assuring her, "No, you will be the only one in my life."
Even the emperor was embarrassed!
He originally suspected that Madam Gu had harmed Chang Le.
After all, Chang Le's feelings for Gu Ziyan were known to everyone, if not to everyone.
But he never expected that it was Chang Le who had given Madam Gu a drug that would prevent her from having children, and then tied her up here.
He thought Chang Le's temper had changed, but to his surprise, it was still the same as before.
Emperor: "Madam Gu, do you know who killed Chang Le?"
Luo Xi trembled all over, "Yes...yes..."
"Your Majesty, may the others be dismissed?"
"Okay, sure."
At this time, only a few people remained in the pavilion.
Luo Xi: "It was a man. I heard Princess Chang Le call him Bai Zhi."
"Princess Chang Le seemed to say something like, 'We're over, don't come looking for me anymore.'"
"She also said...she also said that she was grateful to him for helping her kill the emperor, but she didn't love him..."
"Then, when the man heard this, his face turned dark instantly, and then he pushed Princess Chang Le down."
"After pushing it down, he said something to Princess Chang Le, saying that the bracelet would be given to her."
"The princess's maid tried to run out to call for help, but the man stopped her and pushed her down as well..."
"That man originally wanted to kill both of us, but for some reason, he paused and asked me to pass on a few words to the Emperor."
Emperor: "What are you saying?"
Luo Xi: "He told me to tell the Emperor that I could send people to hunt him down, but I should think about the consequences."
"If the Emperor dares to send someone to hunt him down, he will spread the word that Princess Chang Le plotted to kill the Emperor of Jing, and then the two countries will surely go to war."
emperor:! ! !
"This is outrageous! He's far too arrogant."
As the emperor, he hated threats the most.
The emperor still had some doubts, but seeing that Luo Xi was quite frightened, he had Gu Ziyan take her back to the mansion.
He originally intended to kill Luo Xi, since she knew too much.
However, Gu Ziyan was still around, so he had no choice but to give up.
at last,
The Emperor's secret guards discovered this.
The guards that day were lured away by Princess Chang Le's men.
That rope also belonged to Princess Chang Le.
The source of the infertility drug is unclear.
The bracelet in Chang Le's hand did indeed belong to Bai Zhi.
Because of what the secret guards had discovered, the emperor believed Luo Xi's words.
No wonder the emperor of Jing died so quickly.
As for Bai Zhi
He won't let him get away with it.
The emperor spent a fortune hiring a large number of assassins to kill Bai Zhi, instructing them to kill Bai Zhi in one fell swoop.
In the end, Bai Zhi was outnumbered and died on his way to the Song Kingdom...
A year later, the emperor died, and the crown prince ascended the throne.
Gu Ziyan never took a concubine and treated Luo Xi with unwavering devotion for decades. He remained unaware of Luo Xi's past actions; after all, she selectively forgot what she had done, for to her, those were insignificant matters, and she would never feel guilty or remorseful. Therefore, Gu Ziyan always believed Luo Xi to be a kind and virtuous person. (The End)
