“…” Wanxin knew that there was nothing wrong with her news.
But Chang'an couldn't accept Gu Qingfeng's death.
"Maybe, I think Mr. Qingfeng will be fine, or maybe there is some hidden secret.
After all, the friendship between you and the prince can't be explained in just a few words."
"Yes." Chang'an's eyes lit up, "There must be something we don't know."
She kept looking for excuses for Bei Mingxuan. She thought of countless reasons to tell herself that Gu Qingfeng was not dead, but the source of the information was wrong.
...However, no matter how many reasons Changan told himself, no matter how many excuses he found for Bei Mingxuan.
There was always a message knocking at her heart.
He was using her... using everything he could, just to ascend the throne of Shuzhou...
This is what Chang'an is unwilling to face, and also what Chang'an is afraid to face.
Along the way, Chang'an galloped on horseback.
Her mind was replaying everything that had happened during this period.
Any news he got from the time Bei Mingxuan was injured and fell off the cliff to the time he arrived at Fu Sheng Gate.
Even more so, from the night he first stepped into Bei Mingxuan's residence, until today...
The more Chang'an thought about it, the more confused his mind became, and the more he couldn't figure out the truth of the matter.
The moment Chang'an arrived at the capital of Shu with Bailu.
Bei Mingxuan in the palace got the news.
Fu Lin knelt on the ground and looked at Bei Mingxuan.
He was waiting for his orders.
Yes.
Bei Mingxuan didn't speak for a long time.
Fu Lin thought for a moment and continued, "After the Queen entered the city, she went directly to the General's Mansion, accompanied by Bai Lu.
All matters in the General's Mansion are handled by Xu Mengyun, who is still in the General's Mansion at this time, along with Gu Shijia."
"Is Meng Tan awake?" Bei Mingxuan finally raised his head. He was also very tired during this period.
"Not yet." Fu Lin said, "The ghost doctor is still doing his best to treat him."
"Let's go down." Bei Mingxuan thought for a moment, "Let's evacuate everyone in the General's Mansion."
"Yes! Your Majesty... do you want to see the Queen now? She has been very worried about you."
"Wait a little longer." Bei Mingxuan waved his hand and asked Fu Lin to go down. "Wait, until Meng Tan wakes up..."
Fu Lin was stunned, and immediately understood why his master did not go to see the princess even though he missed her so much.
He felt guilty. Even though Fu Lin understood that Mr. Qingfeng's death had nothing to do with his master, everyone was saying that the General's Mansion was colluding with the royal family of Shijin Kingdom, and now the entire family was executed.
The Queen doesn't care about other people in the Gu family, but Mr. Qingfeng is the one she cares about.
But the most important thing is that no one can defend their master for Mr. Qingfeng's death.
The only witness, Meng Tan, fell into a coma for no apparent reason.
The key point is that in front of all the civil and military officials in the court, Bei Mingxuan had to admit that Gu Qingfeng's death, like everyone else's, was deserved.
"Brother." Outside the door, Fu Cheng was also worried, "Have you told the emperor that the queen is back?"
"I said it." Fu Lin looked helpless, "The emperor doesn't know how to face the queen."
Fu Cheng frowned, "There are so many people kneeling outside, they must be well-informed."
"What?"
"What can we do?" Fu Cheng said angrily. "Those old guys are asking for an imperial decree to depose the Queen, saying that she is the descendant of Shi Jinguo, a traitor, and that the Gu family are all traitors."
Fu Lin frowned even more tightly and glanced at the door worriedly.
These old guys are trying to kill the emperor.
A white silk was hung high at the gate of the general's mansion.
The door opened.
All I see is white.
In the front hall, a pregnant woman, dressed in mourning, was kneeling on the ground, facing the spirit tablet in front of her.
I heard someone coming.
The woman turned her head.
Yes, Gu Shijia.
"I'm back." Gu Shijia said calmly, "I know you will come back."
Chang'an seemed not to hear what Gu Shijia said, nor did he see Gu Shijia.
She walked straight to the tablet.
Bai Lu took the incense, lit it and gave it to Chang'an.
"Everyone, have a safe journey!" Chang'an said calmly.
After burning incense, she turned around and her eyes fell on a large coffin made of golden nanmu wood.
In front of the coffin, the words "Mr. Qingfeng's Coffin" were written in very simple European calligraphy.
The writing style is unconventional, but it is very consistent with Gu Qingfeng's character, simple and concise.
Changan looked at the font above.
That was written by Bei Mingxuan himself, she recognized it.
A smile appeared on her lips, a smile so cold it made people tremble. She gently stroked the coffin lid, "My daughter is unfilial... Can my father blame me?"
"Ms. Gu."
A voice interrupted Chang'an.
Xu Mengyun held a set of mourning clothes in her hand. "This is what the emperor prepared for Miss Gu. Your Majesty, when you know Miss Gu has returned, you will definitely come to pay tribute to your father."
Chang'an raised his eyes and looked at Xu Mengyun in her light red dress. In this world full of white, it looked particularly brilliant and dazzling.
Seeing that Chang'an had no intention of speaking, Xu Mengyun deliberately said, "Miss Gu, you haven't been here for a while, so you probably don't know yet.
The current emperor is the former Prince Xuan.
The Gu family is guilty, and this is known throughout Shuzhou. The Emperor, out of nostalgia for the past, spared Gu Qingfeng's body, granted him a coffin, and set up a mourning hall for all members of the Gu family."
Kneeling on the ground, Gu Shijia could hear the sarcasm in Xu Mengyun's words. She subconsciously frowned and looked up at Gu Changan.
