Chapter 320: Since ancient times, beauties are like famous generals, and they are not allowed to grow old in the world
After hearing this, everyone sighed.
It's such a pity that such a beauty passed away in such an inexplicable way!
Lin Chuyan passed away a few days ago, and today Gu Xiangsi died.
Everyone sighed, "Beauty is short-lived."
A young man sighed and said, "Since ancient times, beauties are like famous generals, and they are not allowed to see white hair in the world."
The King of Qi looked around and asked again, "Is Miss Gu the only one here? Doesn't she have any maids to serve her?"
Lian Yue stumbled over, her face covered in tears as she said, "Originally, I was following the young lady, but suddenly a dark shadow flashed by, and I lost consciousness."
"Where did you lose consciousness?"
Lian Yue pointed to a place not far from the rockery, "It's at the bend ahead. The young lady was right in front of me at that time."
The King of Qi touched his chin, his face solemn, and fell into deep thought.
At this time, Lian Yue said, "Young lady drank a lot of fruit wine in the Hall of Supreme Harmony before coming here. I wonder if it has something to do with that wine."
Gu Qingcheng quickly retorted, "There were six of us drinking together, and five of us were fine, only your young lady was in trouble. If the drink was poisonous, wouldn't the five of us have died? Look, the five of us are still standing here in an orderly manner!"
Huo Li said gently, "I also drank a lot of fruit wine, and I'm fine."
As they were speaking, Emperor Wu of Qin and Empress Wei came over with a group of ministers.
Emperor Wu of Qin glanced at Gu Xiangsi, whose lips were purple and whose face was pale, and said coldly, "How could such a murder by poisoning have occurred in the imperial palace? How on earth could this happen? When did the palace's defenses become so lax?"
Emperor Wu of Qin was so frightened at the thought that someone could kill people in the palace without anyone noticing that he broke out in a cold sweat.
What if the murderer targeted him, the emperor?
The more he thought about it, the more anxious Emperor Wu of Qin became.
The older I get, the more I fear death.
The target of the poisoning this time was the future Princess of Qi, the one he had just arranged to marry. Wasn't this a slap in the face of him as the emperor?
Emperor Wu of Qin glanced around with an eagle-like gaze, his face terribly gloomy.
Finally, he fixed his gaze on Prince Qi and said, "Hong'er, let the Dali Temple work with you to investigate Gu Xiangsi's death!"
Although King Huo Hong of Qi was somewhat reluctant, he still nodded obediently.
"I will follow my father's orders."
Emperor Wu of Qin looked at the heartbroken Grand Tutor Gu again and stepped forward to comfort him, "Old Grand Tutor, take care of yourself and don't be too sad!"
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I feel so ashamed of your grace!"
At this time, the most angry person was Grand Tutor Gu. His first carefully trained granddaughter, Gu Qingcheng, became the favorite of Prince Chang. He was happy for just a few days when Prince Chang got into trouble and became a disabled person with no chance of becoming emperor.
Not long after, Gu Qingcheng lost her innocence after being framed and was rejected by the disabled Prince Chang. The engagement was broken off and she had no chance to be part of the royal family from then on.
To make matters worse, his other granddaughter, Gu Xiangsi, whom he had high hopes for, also got into trouble.
Fortunately, Gu Xiangsi was very capable. Even though she lost her innocence, she still won the love of the King of Qi and was granted marriage to become the future Princess of Qi.
Who would have thought that less than two hours after the marriage was granted, Gu Xiangsi was poisoned to death.
Who did their Tai Shi Mansion offend?
All the shops in the family were smashed and even the property in the Grand Tutor's Mansion was looted.
Almost all the ways of survival in the Grand Tutor's Mansion were blocked.
Grand Tutor Gu felt that the Grand Tutor's Mansion had experienced great ups and downs in the past few months, soaring to the clouds, then falling into hell, then soaring to the clouds again, then falling into hell again...
Even the strongest heart can’t withstand such torture!
Grand Tutor Gu was disheartened and almost thought of retiring and returning home.
But he was very unwilling.
He has been working hard all his life, how could he be defeated so easily?
Grand Tutor Gu feigned grief, retreating to advance, and said, "My granddaughter was unlucky and had no chance of joining the royal family. But Gu Xiangsi was poisoned to death inexplicably. I am truly heartbroken. I hope the Emperor will have mercy on me and grant me justice!"
After saying this, he lay on the ground and sobbed.
Looks very sad.
Only he himself knows that he is more unwilling to accept it.
Emperor Wu of Qin also knew that things had not been going well for the Grand Tutor's Mansion recently. He stepped forward and helped him up, patiently comforting him, "Grand Tutor, don't worry. We will get to the bottom of Gu Xiangsi's matter..."
Emperor Wu of Qin exchanged a few words with Grand Tutor Gu and then left.
Soon, Shen Xuanzhi was sent here by Emperor Wu of Qin.
Also accompanying them were Baili Qingyun and Han Chaolin, and behind them, following slowly, was Bai Wuji with a stern expression.
These four young and talented men in their prime and with noble bearing came together and instantly attracted the attention of many noble ladies present.
Many people secretly felt sorry for Bai Wuji. This god of war who was once invincible and unstoppable was ambushed and ended up with difficulty walking.
Bai Wuji didn't care about what people said.
He just came to find Lin Pianran.
He looked around but didn't see Lin Pianran, which made him feel very strange.
"Brother Han, doesn't your little sister always go wherever there's a crowd? Why haven't we seen her?"
Han Chaolin shook his head woodenly. He didn't know where his sister had gone.
There was no one to be found.
At this moment, Li Huai'en, the prince of Yongping Marquis's Mansion, inadvertently set his gaze on the wheelchair that Bai Wuji was riding in.
The wheelchair was surprisingly made entirely of metal, exuding a sense of refinement. The footrests were cleverly designed, conveniently placed underneath the wheelchair for feet, and the back and seat were padded with thick cushions for exceptional comfort.
What is particularly eye-catching is that there is a peculiar joystick installed on the right armrest of the wheelchair, and its purpose is very imaginative.
More importantly, the wheels on both sides of the wheelchair are not made of ordinary wood, but a strange material that is difficult to identify, making it very different.
The entire wheelchair not only did not appear bulky, but instead gave people a sense of lightness. When Bai Wuji turned the wheelchair, he did so with such ease.
This wheelchair is really exciting.
Li Huai'en walked forward with a flattering smile on his face.
He asked gently, "Where did General Bai buy this wheelchair? Could you tell me?"
Bai Wuji's face didn't show any displeasure at being interrupted. He looked up at Han Chaolin and said, "Ask Young Master Han! I got it from him, too."
Han Chaolin was completely confused after hearing this.
He looked at Bai Wuji in confusion, feeling very baffled.
Baili Qingyun leaned closer to him and whispered, "This is your sister's return gift to Bai Wuji. He was right to ask you!"
Han Chaolin suddenly understood.
It turned out to be my sister's doing again.
But he knew nothing about this wheelchair!
